THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 11. 1997 EAST CAROLINA UNIVERSITY GREENVILLE. NORTH CAROLINA VOLUME 73, ISSUE 06 ECU receives additional $3.1 million in equity funding Allocation of equity funding Additional funds paying for technology, operating costs Jacqueline d. kellum NEWS EDITOR Included in ECU's budget plan this year is an addi- tional J.V1 million that the university traditionally has not received. Last year, the results of a study were released which showed that ECU, along with four other UNC institutions, were not receiving as much funding as they should have been. The General Assembly then made plans to supply those schools with additional funds in the future. "It (equity funding) recognized that we were underfunded compared to our peer institutions said Richard Brown, Vice Chancellor of Administration and Finance. "It will become a part of our continuation budget The additional money will be allocated for new computers and other equipment (such as fax machines or copiers), salaries for new positions, and operating expenses. "A great portion of it is going to technology Brown said. That portion will pav " (equity funding) recognized that we were underfunded compared to our peer institutions Richard Brown Vice Chancellor of Advimsuation and Finance for new computers for facultv and administration, and for new staff to facilitate their use. "There are ten computer consultant positions that are being created to assist facul- ty in incorporating this tech- nology Brown said. In addition to the new computers, faculty will also be receiving upgrades on existing computers. "They're going to try to upgrade all the faculty com- puters across campus, and then, every two to three years, there'll be another upgrade said Jim Plummer, Director of University SEE FUND.

PHOTO BY AMANOA PROCTOR Students can report crimes anonymously B M NO N M I S F. si vF f W K I T t K The ECU Police Department has a new tool in crime control: the World Wide Web. The ECU PD's website now offers an area where students, faculty or anyone can report a crime anonymously. .After view ing a number of university police departments' websites and learning about their crime tip pages, the ECU PD initiated their own page in June. "We've only had one crime reported so far said ECU PD Detective Mike Jordan. .Although the tip was not information the police department could act on. Jordan said the information was useful, in that it is something they could look out for in the future. The witness is not required to give a name. "If a student doesn't feel like they are being put under the spotlight, they might feel more apt to report something, without them feeling like it will come back to haunt them Jordan said. Those who have reported incidents can check up on the police's progress on solving the crime. "When you send the message, a number will be given, and those who want to check on the certain incident can be updat- ed said Jordan. There is also a chance for a reward for any- valuable clues provided. "It is possible that if there is some good information that helped solve the crime, and an arrest is made, we can bring in Crime Stoppers to reward the witness for their infor- mation said Jordan. The web page also offers, among other things, campus crime stanstics for the last tour years, campus crime prevention tips and an "Alert" page, used to notify web SEE CRIME PAGE 4 "It is possible that if there is some good information that helped solve the crime and an arrest is made, we can bring in Crime Stoppers to reward the wit- ness for their information Mike Jordan ECU PO detective TODAY Rain High 84 Low 68 A 4 WEEKEND J Partly Cloudy $w High 83 ' low 63 � � - � $400,000 - 10 Computer Consultant Salaries $200,000 - 4 more librarian salaries $135,000- new equipment $75,000 - Administrative Computers THE WRIGHT STUFF Memberr of Alpha Kappa Alpha smile dflei their step show performance at Wright Plaza Monday.

The figure for future years remains steady. "There is a model to make projections based on the market, potential transfers and growth Thompson added. There are several factors which can increase tuition that are unpredictable. "The addition of the rec center certainly helped bring in new people. A good football season never hurts and the aggres- siveness of admissions when recruiting are all factors Thompson said. 'The total number of students last fall was 17,47�- which was an increase from 17,445 in 1995. The spring semester total will not be quite as high due in part to grad- uation. "Spring is always lower and usually about 95 percent of the fall total Thompson said.

"Today is certainly a day to celebrate and a dav to anticipate other changes to the medical school Mayor Nancy Jenkins said. The medical school has turned to building outlying clinics as a way to deal with decreasing space in the hos- pital building. Recently a women's facility was opened as was a new building on Fire tower Rd. Plastic and reconstructive surgery were formerly housed in the Leo Jenkins Cancer Center for more than 15 years, but because of space limitations needed to move to a dif- ferent location so services could be expanded. " lechnologv has changed so much over the last few years that we really needed to expand more so that we could expand our ser- vices Wooden said. Wooden hopes that the new facility will allow the medical school to trv new proce- dures and methods of treating patients. The center is a Beta-site for a PC based Medvision and telemedicine program. According to Wooden this could allow medical workers to document, interview and transmit patient information from out in the field to doctors in hospitals. "Tor example an EMS worker in Dare County can call us up and sa what does this look like to you Wooden said. "It will mean a dramatic change to rural and housebound patients and emergency medical systems.

Of 30 women in the inaugural coed class, she was first to attend an open house last fall, weaving around TV cameras to get a barracks tour. The prospective students were told about the physical and mental rigors cadets experience and even watched an upperclassman harass a freshman in a tradition known as the rat line, similar to boot camp. On Tuesday, Miss Garza became the first woman to leave VMI involun- tarily, suspended for two semesters for striking an upperclassman who was disciplining her.

Technology brings interviewers to ECU JONI SURETTE STAFF WRITER Striving to remain on the cutting edge of technology, East Carolina University is one of the first colleges to offer video conference interviews to potential graduating students and alumni. While there are only ten other North Carolina universities participat- ing thus far, ECU had video confer- encing available during the spring semester of last year. This new method of interviewing offers students an easy alternative to long flights and sweaty palms. Students can interview with clients across the United States and interna- tionally and never leave campus. While making an appointment through Career Services is currently the only available method of access for students, in the future, Career Services hopes to allow students to have personal computer access from their residence hall room. "With the year 2000 quickly approaching our goal is to keep stu- dents with the latest technology at their fingertips said Jill Nowicki, university accountant manager for View Net in Madison, Wisconsin. This new service offers a wider applicant pool for major corporations as well as job-hungry grads. Major companies, such as IBM, Proctor and Gamble, Exxon, Citibank, as well as achovia, have joined the video con- ference bandwagon. "fiw ECU students to have this service available is a wonderful thing said Debra Baker, assistant director of Career Services, acting also as video conference administrator. Thh's service is free for students who are interested. Prior to the actual interview, the applicant must first submit a resume to the Career Services, then to the actual company to initiate an interview. Once an affir- mative response is received from the potential employer, the student must first participate in a 30-45 minute training session on how to use the new video conferencing tool prbfessjonalry. Several companies are accepting applications for interviews in the upcoming months. WalMart's session is Oct. 27 and Scars' session is Nov. 17-19. Career Services plans to hold a workshop for students to introduce interviewing assignment conferenc- ing. "The bottom line is, this is avail- able for students and we want them to take advantage of it said Baker.

(AP) � Paula Jones's new legal team will receive no extra time to prepare for her sexual harassment lawsuit against President Clinton even though her two top lawyers quit and a third said he planned to do the same. VS. District Judge Susan Webber Wright directed that the case cay on course for trial beginning May 27. Attorneys Gilbert Davis and Joseph Cammarata were allowed to withdraw Tuesday from Mrs. Jones's lawsuit because of "fundamental differences of opinion" with her about how the case should proceed. They promoted a set tlement she had rejected, her spokeswoman said. Mrs. Jones has yet to announce new lawyers. Clinton's attorneys, led by Robert S. Bennett, said they were ready to move toward a trial. Mrs. Jones claims that Clinton asked her to perform oral sex on him when they attended a conference together at a Little Rock hotel in May 1991. He was governor and she was a state employee. Clinton denies the allegations and has said he docs not recall meeting Mrs. Jones. Mrs. Jones's lawyers requested permission to leave after she rejected set- tlement terms that her spokeswoman, Susan Carpenter McMillan, said the lawyers had pushed: $700,000 and a vague statement of regret from the pres- ident for any damage to her reputation. California Senate sends governor bill to curb junk guns SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) � The sure Legislature has sent the governor a bill aimed at halting the manufacture and sale of cheap handguns in California, which produces most of the "Saturdav night specials" sold in the United States. The measure would apply the same standards the federal government has applied to imported handguns since 1968. Five Los Angeles-area manufacturers produce 80 percent of the so-called "junk guns" sold in the United States, according to the federal Justice Department. Gov. Pete Wilson has not taken a position on the bill, passed Tuesday by the state Senate on a vote of 22-15. The Assempry passed it last month, 42- The bill by state Sen. Richard Poianco would ban the manufacture and sale of "nonsporting handguns" after Jan. 1,1999. It defines them as weapons that fail to meet the federal standards for imports, which include restrictions on the size of the barrel and frame and safety features. !Tl,llll'ilil11Iil Albright says she hopes Israel trip will make difference JERUSALEM (AP) � Secretary of State Madeleine Albright on Wednesday extended her support to Israel in its straggle against terrorism but also urged a resumption of land-for-peace negotiations with Arabs. Hoping to salvage the peace process amid an ebb in Israeli-Palestinian relations , Albright said, "We are with you in the battle against terror, we are with you in the struggle for security Calling on Israeli President Ezer Weizman, she hailed Israel's resilient past, and said it had U.S. support in insisting that Palestinian leader Yasser Ararat implement his commitments to counter terrorism. But Albright also told Israel that security is inseparable from peace, a gen- tle way of reminding Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the Clinton administration wants Israel to get back to the table and swap territory for Arab recognition. She was scheduled to meet with Netanyahu later in the day across 1 o c h o campuses Students vote for 24 hour visitation. Appalachian State University�On campus residents were asked to vote on a new visitation policy for their residence halls. 95 percent of the on- campus population turned out to vote in favor of 24 hour visitation.

V T Regular $10 HailTUt Mandatory HIV reports encouraged BOSTON (AP) � The distin- guished Nm England Journal of Mediant is urging mandatory reporting of HIV infections to state health departments to increase the chances people will get carry treatment. More than half of all states now require that the names of infected people be reported to confidential registries. However, New York and California, the two with the most cases by far, dc not require this. Early in the epidemic, the need to keep AIDS infections private was often considered to be more important than any public health benefits of turning names over to health agencies. Opinion has shifted, and mandatory reporting has grown less controversial in recent years, especially with the advent of treat- ments for people who arc infected but not yet sick. In Thursday's issue of the jour- nal, Or. Robert Steinbrook, a deputy editor, said in an editorial that infection with the AIDS virus should be a reportable disease at the federal level, just like tubercu- losis and many sexually transmit- ted illnesses, such as syphilis and gonorrhea. The editorial noted that this would allow health agencies to track down partners of infected people so they could be warned of their risk and get counseling and treatment. Protease inhibitors and other AIDS drugs, used together, dra- matically slow the progression of an infection to full-blown AIDS. Many doctors believe patients should start treatment as soon as possible after infection to improve their chances of survival. The same issue of the journal published a study, directed by Dr. Scott M. Hammer of Beth Israei Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, showing that AIDS patients getting a combination of the protease inhibitor indinavir, plus the drugs AZT and lamivu- dinc, had half the death rate of those getting two drugs when fol- lowed for nine months. That study received wide attention after the results were released by the National Institutes of Health, its sponsor, in February. States with laws requiring HIV reporting by name are Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Idaho, Indiana, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Okalahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming. Connecticut, Oregon and Texas require that only HlV-infected chil- dren be reported by name. SOWings tor $19.97 Monday Night Football Chick Off '97 Wing eating Contest!

Thompson said the number of high school grad- uates is not as high as in the past, but is slowly inching its way up. "Next year we may be not as high from new students due to the number of graduates, which will also cause a lag in the transfer popula- tion because there will be fewer community college people to trans- fer in Thompson said.

NEW YORK (AP) � Women who give birth in their 40s might have an especially good chance of living to 100, perhaps because those who manage to get pregnant so late in life have biological clocks that run slow. When researchers compared a group of female centenarians to women who had died at 73, they found that the older women were much more likely to have had a baby after their 40th birthday. That does not mean that having a baby so late will make a woman live longer, said researcher Dr. Thomas Perls. Instead, the late birth indicates that a woman's body may be aging slowly, he said. "If your reproductive system is aging slowly enough that you can have a child in your 40s, it probably bodes well for the fact that the rest of you is aging very slowly too he said. Peris, a geriatrician at the Beth Israel-Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, and two colleagues there present their findings in Thursday's issue of the journal Nature. The results do not apply to women who have had kids with the help of fertility experts, he said. Childbearing rates drop sharply after age 40, although menopause typically doesn't arrive until around 50. About 70,000 babies were born to women in their 40s in the United States during 1995, the lat- est year for which complete figures are available. That's a tiny fraction of the 3.9 million babies bom that year. The new study included 78 women in suburban Boston who had lived to be at least 100 and were bom around 1896. They were com- pared with 54 women who were bom in 1896 and died in 1969, the earliest year for which researchers could get computerized death records. Information on these women came from next-of-kin, located through old newspaper obit- uaries. The study excluded women who had never married. About 19 percent of the cente- narians had given birth after their 40th birthdays, vs. just 5.5 percent of the other group. The women with the late births were found to be four times more likelv to live to 100 than 73. One reason might be estrogen, the researchers sad. The late births suggest these women delayed menopause, which might mean their bodies produced estrogen for a longer time and so got extra protec- tion from heart disease and Alzheimer's, researchers said Dr. Ruth Fretts, an obstetrician- gynecologist and an author of the study, said women who have been unable to have children past age 40 should not be discouraged about their longevity. The problem could be something that has nothing to do with their aging rate, she said. Caleb Finch, a professor of neuro biology and gerontology at the University of South California who didn't participate in the study, said the proposed link between late childbearing and slower aging is plausible. Perls has a personal interest in his study results: His wife just gave birth at 40. "I have no doubt she's going to go on to be 100 he said. 12 PRICE 3 PITCHERS of DRAFT!

September 11, 1997 now Fund continued (fom page I Budgets. Another large allotment will be used for day to day operating expenses and supplies. Plummet said that operating expenses are one of the areas most in need of addi- tional funding, because of the con- sistent price increases for everyday items such as paper. "As a general rule, we don't get money to cover those (incteases). In the five years I've been here, we have gotten wry little money for operating increases from year to ear Rummer said. "That's why that latge portion of that $3.1 mil- lion is going to operating expenses .According to Brown, the discrep- ancy in funding occurred because ECl experienced significant enroll- ment increase in the 80's and carry 90s, a time period when the state was not able to match the school's growth with comparable funding. The other schools which were previously underfunded are UNC- Charlotte. Appalachian State University, UNC-Greensboro and FNCAVilmington. No funding was taken from ether schools to provide the equity fund- ing to the five previously under- funded schools.

Grew. 2B684353 For nhraaun. can 98.321.5386. opinion The Eett Carolinian oumew The ECU Police Department is looking to the World Wide Web as a way of getting additional information about crimes and perpetrators of crime. The department hopes students and oth- ers who are hesitant to report crimes over the telephone or in person will be more likely to pro- vide information anonymously over the internet. But will this new tool be a benefit to scared victims of crimes or will result in unnecessary harassment of innocent citizens? The Web has a tremendous wealth of information. Unfortunately, it is often abused by people who find satisfaction in posting inaccurate information. When this inaccurate information is about a movie or a music group, for instance, it is likely only to be a mere nuisance to those involved. But when inaccurate information is posted about a person's alleged criminal actions, much more is at stake. Their life, as they know it, is at stake. Their credibility is at stake. If an innocent suspect is arrested at their place of employment, they may be cleared by authorities, but their employers and co-workers will remain suspicious regardless. Reporting crimes over the Web is incredibly convenient. Convenience often leads carelessness. It's easy, little to do, little to think about. Practical jokers have it right there at their fingertips � and college students are apt to pull a prank if it's so easy. There's very little risk involved for them. You'll get caught if you file a false report in person. Over the telephone, it could be traced back to you. But on the information highway, there's no trail. It's easy. No risk. The only risk is for the person whose life will be interrupted by someone else's idea of a joke. Computer technology has been beneficial in innumerable ways. The world's right there on the screen. But it also has made it easy for us to not be accountable for our actions. In the end, will justice be served? OPINION Mary .AEBB Columnist Journalist, paparazzi not one in same A reputable newspaper like the Los Angeles Times is quite different from a tabloid like The Enquirer, yet both are within the same con- text of print journalism. And both are being blamed for the tragic events leading up to the death of Princess Diana. My significant other called me from Japan, which is where he lives. "Journalists are the scum of the earth he bellowed into the phone. He was, of course, reacting to the death of Princess Diana and had, like everyone else, painted the entire media population with the same brush. "Do you really have to make this disgusting stuff your career?" he pleaded, forgetting that I'm graduat- ing this fail and that journalism is my passion. It took some time to con- vince him that the media is a huge entity with different components and that it should be treated as such. First and foremost, there are vari- ous fields of media, starting with elec- tronic media which covers television, radio and the internet. Print journal- ism and public relations are the other two aspects. Within these divisions are intricate distinctions themselves. A reputable newspaper like the Los Angeles Tunes is quite different from a tabloid like The Enamrer, yet both are within the same context of print jour- nalism. And both are being blamed� directly as well as indirectly�for the tragic events leading up to the death of Princess Diana. What explains the extreme anger and deep resentment people all over the world have developed toward any- one remotely connected to the media? Some of it is definitely war- ranted, because just like any other profession, the media also has its share of unethical employees. However, obvious facts connected to the accident are being pushed aside. Not enough people are paying atten- tion to evidence that the driver was allegedly drunk, that he was speeding and that Diana and Dodi were not wearing their seatbelts. Politicians and entertainment stars are now ranting and raving about their own loss of privacy. They conve- niently forget that they manipulate the press for their personal agendas when it suits them. Every person cherishes the basic right of privacy, but the fact remains that the media fulfills a service that is demanded and dictated by the public. If the public was not interested in Princess Diana, believe me, no journalist or photogra- pher would have bothered following her around. They would not have hidden in bushes, ready to jump out the moment she appeared; they would not have followed her to chari- ties and functions and, above every- thing else, they would not have tail- gated her car, causing the fatal crash. The world has lost a beautiful princess and the media has tost a superstar. It is not a time to point fin- gers. It's a time to reflectand to learn. ft uke a�tfff LETTER �to the Editor City Council candidate expresses view s I am writing in response to Jason Williams' recent letter to the editor in which he discusses one of Counci (woman Inez Fridley's many conflicts of interest. Yes, there is merit to the argument that she has a finan- cial conflict with the horrid parking situation at ECU. And it is also true that she recently appointed her boss (the Chancellor) to the Community Appearance Commission. Why do I say this? Because I am the former member and current City Council candidate which she dropped in order to increase the board to five ECU cniploycc-incmljers � including the chairperson and council liaison. It's not illegal�just unethical, since our boards and commissions are supposed to be representative of the population � not one group. So what was lost with my replacement Chancellor Eakin? For starters, the $60,000 Department of Transportation grant completion of Purple and Gold on Highway 11 from Carolina East Mall to the airporr in honor of Dr. Leo Jenkins. This has been my main goal on the commis- sion. We began this project in front of Pitt Community College two years ago and 1 do not feel the city will com- plete it now. Secondly, while I was chairman of the Landscape Committee, wc propped a giant Greenville and ECU Pirates logo on the overpass entering Greenville. This was planned to be ready by the ECU-Carolina football game here. The DOT agreed to fund this, but the project is in hiatus because certain city officials don't want to take care of it. The irony of all this is that the football field is being named after my college roommate in two weeks. It proves bureaucrats want your money, not your input. So, now you have a few reasons why I Ma am a candidate for City Council $g District 4 (College Hill Brivfi District). Obviously, your vote on 4 will determine the quality of yoiS life the next two years. I question wSJJ ECU needs five employees on a ciJJ goverment commission. By the wag the Chancellor didn't even show u for his first meeting. We have reaches gridlock in the government by artotgg er special interest group tod by Mop Fridtey! She has tied up this commit sion for nine months, worried abojg whether property owners should ha� the right to cut down a tree on thew own land. When Mrs. Fridlcy said slS represented the students and homtS owners of ECU, you can believe that J you also believe a warden represent inmates. S �� m Van Brown City Council Candidate, Distrk ECU alumnus LETTER to the Editor Student opposes TRNA, ordinance I am writing in defense of your cov- erage of Greenville's harsh occupan- cy law. Please keep up the good work! Every citizen and student has a right to know and to act in this year's elections to have this law changed. I found the recent letter to the editor by Cheryl Ridder, the president of the Tar River Neighborhood Association, both misleading and dis- turbing. In her letter she claims, "this type of ordinance is routine in other cities I think that she is misleading because only a handful of cities in North Carolina have such an ordinance and Greenville and New Bern have the lowest in the state by evicting more than three unrelated people. Secondly, does the Tar River Neighborhood Association really expect us to believe that their orga- nization wants to make things better for renters? They should explain that to all of the people who have been evicted over the years. Tell them that you are acting in their best interest. TEC should not let people like Ridder try to intimidate them because this is not an issue to "polar- ize the neighborhood I believe that the people who support Greenville's three-person occupancy law as it stands, which allows anonymous phone calls to put inspectors in your house, are a small minority. My opin- ion is that you can probably find this small group of fanatics in the TRNA or on Inez Fridley's campaign. But, no younger person in their right mind would support rhc TRNA or Fridley's campaign and I believe it would take an older person with a very cruel and bitter heart to support either as long as this law remains. If either one wanted our support, they should have changed this law to four people a long time ago. I'm for Steve McLawhorn for City Council and I encourage your readers to register to vote now and for everyone with a heart to show up on election day this ! year. � t Joy Williamson Sophomore, Professional Acting PI RATES a e stree a Those who experience battle and death inevitably learn to speak plainly.

Her latest, End of the Summer, is a beautiful, highly enjoyable listening experience that maintains the integri- ty and independent spirit of her cof- feehouse beginnings, yet suggests an assessability that will go a long way in increasing Williams fan base. Often those of the singersong- writer ilk embarrass themselves with overly introspective lyrics that sound like little more than a pity party: I'm a big drunk and pink flowers make me cry. Williams' introspection offers much more than shallow whining; her lyrics are honest, human and pretty damn humorous. In "What do bu .Hear in These Sounds Williams' tale Mrom the quack couch, she sings, "I riSon't go to therapy to find out if I'm a � 3 freak! go and I find the one and only answer every weekAnd it's just me and all the memories to followDown any course that fits within in a fifty minute hourand we fathom all the mysteries, explicit and inherent when I hit a rut, she says try the other parent Through her humor she reveals a lot about her self, without it generating into pathetic psycho- bab- ble. Williams also gets at your funny bone on the ultra-catchy "Party Generation The song tells the story of a 34-ycar-old party boy who can't find anyone to play reindeer games with anymore. A clap-your-hands- like-you-just-don't-care dance beat is accompanied by a chorus that's about as silly as its over-the-hill party boy: "Tonight we're going to the partyWe will parry all night longWe are the party generationSo have a seat, what's in the bagParty on At first I thought Wayne and Garth should sue for copyright infringement, but I swear I can't get "Party Generation" out of my head. Williams dedicates "If I Wrote You" to the late Texas singersongwriter Townes Van Zandt. Beauty invades this song, its haunting melody, cour- tesy of guitarist Larry Campbell, and Williams gorgeous vocals nearly over- come you. The lyrics would make Van Zandc proud: "And when the spring came and flooded all the streams, it's like how you got the night you told me all your dreamsAnd when the barn roof sagged after an icy bout, it's like how you shrugged when you knew the truth was the only way out, but not the only way Call them gulp-in-the- rhroat lyrics, that's the only way to describe them.

PAGE S ECU poetry group celebrates 30th John Davis ASSISTANT I.IKKSTH E EDITOR When he was an undergraduate, Professor Peter Makuck had no outlet for his interest in writing poetry. Now, over twenty years later, he is the staff advisor for ECU's student-run Poetry Forum. The program was begun by Professor Vernon Ward thiny years ago in order to provide students and community members an opportunity to read and workshop original poems without having to endure the rigors and academic atmosphere of a poetry class. After Ward retired, Makuck replaced him. It was Makuck who first convinced the SGA to provide funding for the Forum, which has allowed the Forum to bring in visiting poets to read and give advice. Some of the past poets who have graced the Forum include Pulitzer Prize winners such as Lewis Simpson and Carolyn ki.er. Most of the poets who are guests of the Forum arc published writers. This semester, for the first time, a graduate of ECU will be returning to read at the Poetry Forum. Al Maginnes, who has recently published his first vol- ume of poetry, was a graduate of ECU's well-known writing program. Other poets featured this year will include Michael Chitwood and Harry Maxon. The Poetry Fonim is a poetry workshop, which means that aspiring poets bring their work in and read it, as well as providing copies for the other members of the Forum to look over. A short oral cri- tique follows, during which fellow writers offer crit- icism, advice and encouragement. Usually the group numbers about twenty people and the sessions last between one and two hours. A wide variety of peo- ple attend the Forum, from students to professors to members of rhe Greenville community. Makuck acts as an organizer and general mediator at the workshops. Although there has, in the past, been an idea that the Forum is stuffy, academic and filled with sleepy poetry, Makuck strongly maintains this is net the case. He feels confident that some exciting and interesting poetry graces the Forum and, as a pub- lished poet, is quite pleased with the amount of improvement in many attendees of the Fonim. Poets who are interested are encouraged to attend this semester's first meeting which will be this Wednesday. Officers for the Forum will be elect- ed. The ECU Poetry Forum meets the first and third Wednesday of each month. Meetings begin at 8 p.m. in Mendenhall 248. CIA to display maps in Mendenhall John Davis ASSISTANT LIFESTYLE EDITOR There's potential to get a big case of the "so whats" at the first thought of Africa, A Continent Revealed in the Mendenhall gallery. Maps? Why should an ECU student care about some dusty old maps from the vaults of the CIA? "I think the interest h Africa is three- Rwanda is one of the places that will be examined in Africa, A Continent Revealed. PHOTO COURTESY OF CIA fold says Michael Toth of the CIA. "Firstly, ECU has a respected Geography department. The his- tory of mapping the African continent is also the history of European understanding of Africa. Secondly, any student with interest in geopolitics would find the information on the continent valu- able in light of recent world events such as the crises in Rwanda and Barundi. Finally, in looking at the lack of relationship between origins; tribal boundaries and national boundaries imposed by colonizing Europeans, one can see the sources of a lot of these conflicts Apparently these aren't Rand McNally road maps here. Although these maps are on loan from the CIA, they are also not "war maps Instead, the maps include information on such diverse subjects as agriculture, cities, climate, eth- nicity, geology and population. The maps range from antique maps from the colonial period to recent digital maps. Some of the maps come from the private collection of Toth himself. Many of the maps from Toth's collection couldn't be displayed here however. "The exhibit, had the potential to be much larger, but due to security reasons we couldn't display some of the maps Lynn Caverly, assistant director of student activities said. ECU did manage to get a sizable amount though, including some very interesting antique maps and a conflict zone map of Rwanda. One of the most interesting aspects of this particular exhibit is the fact that a former East Carolina student is responsible for it. Stacy Russ graduated last May with a geography degree and was an intern at the CIA when she found out about Explore Africa with new exhibit. PN0T0 COURTESY OF CIA the exhibit. "Stacy just came into my office and gave us this opportunity to bring in something real- ly unique and different and we jumped all over it says Caverly. The exhibit is part of the CIA's celebra- tion of its fiftieth anniversary. The antique maps came, for the most part, from Toth's private collec- tion while the more recent maps were produced by the CIA or acquired during World War II. The maps arc part of the CIA's Map Library. Africa, A Continent Revealed will be on dis- play in the Mendenhall Gailery from September 15 to October 3.

I was less than thrilled to live through the heinous nightmare of Operation Fun Week again. My co-counselor, Tanya, and I already had a preconceived notion of what this week was going to be like. I tried my best to look stern , baleful and to give off an aura of pure meanness as the children, accompanied by volunteers, clam- bored off the buses. The children collected their luggage, then stood shyly in my shadow darkening the grass. What I did not know at the time, as I tried to imitate Hagar the Horrible, was that these children were going to teach me more than I could ever teach them. My first lesson was one in humil- ity. It happened after they were handed over to me with their sheepish, curious faces. I looked at their shabby, small suitcases and asked, "Were is the rest of your stuff?" Because of other campers who were not part of Operation Fun week, I was use'd to cutesy notes stuffed in luggage, mounds of fans, tons of bathing suits, smuggled candy and radios. Clearly this week was gt ing to be different. These children had nothing. I would soon discover they would be grateful for everything they had. Other lessons would fol- low as each camper that week did something or shared a tiny piece of their lives disguised as a story that touched me. One day I was walking with this small, emaciaced girl when I finally questioned her about the huge scar that ran snake-like down her neck. "My brother shot me she said simply, as if it were as natural as breathing. "He in a gang, I spent Christmas in a hospital, but I strong Stunned, I took her hand in mine. She seemed to not know how to respond. The more her life unfolded in her words, the more grateful I became for mine. Another girl swept constantly. She would sweep and sweep and sweep, as if possessed. I kept demanding that she not do it and she told me that her mama beat her if she didn't sweep in her house. I wrapped my arms around her and prayed that God would never send her back to that place. I can't express how much the lit- tle things they did meant, the small victories. Children who had never seen a lake before canoed like pro's. Campers who were afraid of horses grinned brightly as they came in from their ride. The kids even cleaned up the cabin as a sur- prise for me. Their childhoods were tainted. Many did not have the warmth and security of a loving milieu like I experienced at that age. A child's life should be light, airy and care- free, but these children never felt free to dance in the wind. Soon they would be home. They would worry again about where their next meal would come from. They would worry again about whether their family would have enough money to pay the rent. They would worry again about having warm clothes for the winter. But they taught me that possessions don't count. What you carry in your heart can make you wealthy. I am the camp counselor. I love my job. Is your creative taCent better than this Then you couid be a Production Assistant at eastcarolinian Jppy Within.

CLAUDIA COATES ASSOCIATE!) PRKSS WRITER NEW YORK (AP) � In the paycheck race, Oprah Winfrey and her TV parade of human triumphs and foibles has lost to Steven Spielberg and his com- puter-generated dinosaurs. � Spielberg, producer and director of The Lost World: Jurassic Plant, returns to the top spot on Forbes magazine's list of the 40 best-paid entertainers � he made $313 million in 19 and 1997. Winfrey is a distant third with $201 mil- lion. � , Times have changed. So has Oprah. Her daily rare is much more tame, the magazine noted in its Sept. 21 issue. Special effects also brought George Lucas $241 million and a No. 2 ranking � his debut on the list � after the re-release of his Star Wars trilogy. And the author of Spielberg's Jurassic Park sequel, Michael Crichton, earned $102 million and a No. 4 ranking, the highest any writer has reached. "He's making more from the movie than he ever would from the book the magazine said. The rewards for star power are rising as the entertainment market becomes more worldwide, Rwbes said in releasing its list Monday. Last year, Winfrey was No. 1 with an income of only $171 million. She and Spielberg had been trading first and second place since 1993. Spielberg was previously No. 1 in 1995. The magazine combined entertainers's two-year esti- mated gross earnings to try to get a more accurate picture of income. The Beatles came in at fifth with $98 million, even though they haven't recorded in more than a quarter cen- tury, and Jerry Seinfeld was sixth with $94 million. Magician David Gopperfield earned $85 million and a No. 7 ranking. Tom Cruise was the highest-earning dra- matic actor, with $82 million from Jerry Afaptirr and Mission Impossible. Some of the entertainers who fell off the Top 40 this year were Sandra Bullock, Tom Hanks, David Letterman, Luciano Pavarotti and Denzel Washington. They helped make way for first-timers, including comedian Tim Allen (No. 13), winner of a fat contract to stay with ABC and "Home Improvement singer Celine Dion (No. 15), who sold 30 million records in two years; and the movie directing-producing team of Ron Howard and Brian Grazer (No. 24), responsible tor Apollo 13, Liar, Liarand Ransom. Other newcomers were pop group Spice Girls (No. 32); Michael Fbtley (No. 25), the Irish-step-dancing star of the movie Lonlofthr Dantr, and the writer- producers of TVs Friends � Kevin Bright, Marta Kauffman and David Crane (No. 39).

These players and coaches have seen all sorts of teams come to town from all kinds of conferences. 7ust another team to me fullback Scott Harley said. "It doesn't matter what conference they're in. It's just another chance for us to go out there and possibly win a game Flanker Jason Nichols said the Pirates need to be roar- ing to go against any opponent they face. "It's just a game we have to show up for and be ready to play, no matter what Nichols said. Nonetheless, Wake Forest is a formidable opponent, as they proved last week beating Northwestern, who was ranked 21st. Logan said he's seen a lot of changes from this season to last. "The receivers are top notch Logan said. The quar- terback has thrown for a jillion yards over there. The offen- sive line will protect him. They ran the football against Northwestern. That's the biggest difference between last year and this year The Demon Deacs quarterback Brian Kuklick was the ACC total offensive leader in 19, averaging 223.1 yards per game. He started all 11 games last year, completed 52 percent of his passes and threw for a season total 2,526 yards with 11 touchdowns. Last week, Kuklick finished with 273 yards and two touchdowns against the Wildcats.

Against Sfest Virginia he threw for 279 yards and one touchdown. Logan said he is glad the Deacs beat Northwestern because it is an eye opener for the players and fans. "I'm glad they won last week because it got our player's attention Logan said. "I know it's going to get our fans attention and, like I said, I think it will be a very hard fought footbaii game The Pirates will tell you they need this win, not just for a "w" in the victo- ry column but a boost for the morale. "It's going to be a big game for us emo- tionally Nichols said. "It's going to mean a lot to us to go ahead and get this win under our belt so we don't feel the pressure of starting our season off 0-2 Gonzalez agrees with his teammate and said he's seen this before. "We're ready to get back on the win- ning track Gonzalez said. "Starting off 0-1 is something we've done quite a few times since I've been here.

Pregpme tradition continues JEREMY ANDERSON- STAFF WRITER : return of another college football xn to Greenville brings another fall tradition - tailgaring. It is a tradi- tion as old as football itself, which gives students, alumni, and other fans a chance to relax and talk football. While tailgating can be fun, there arc also rules that must be followed to ensure the safety of all the fans piling into Dowdy-fickkn Stadium this fall. "There will be a zero tolerance for uncage drinking said Captain Johnnie Umphlet of the ECU Police Department. "You will be cited ECU Police officials will not only on the lookout for underage drinkers. "There can be no kegs or liquor, regardless of age. We will enforce all violations on these lots Umphlet said. The only lots that will be available for tailgaters arc the Harrington Reld Lot and the freshman lot at the Allied Health Building. The Athletic Department has cut back on general parking this year, We want the public to k ,ow that parking will be very limited, Umphlet said. The lots will be open later this sea- son. "The parking areas will only open four hours prior to the game as opposed to five hours last year Umphlet sai . Additional parking can be found behind the stadium at Elmhurst Elementary and transit buses will run from the old Nichols parking lot on Greenville Boulevard adjacent to the Sheraton. However, parking in these areas is not free and tailgacing is pro- hibited. The ECU Police is also asking for vour help ro make sure everyone has a good time. "It would help us out a lot if fans would not bring glass bottles to the parking areas. While this is not mandatory, it would help decrease incidents such as flat tires Umphlet said. Time to pack stands, fans Amanda Ross A Srmiur CoMMiHtiraffHrs mttjur grdltifiir!Z It Dfitntkef. skr is puriniifji a oA m u Irlrtisiot sfiortsrtKfrr AMANDA ROSS SPORTS EDITOR They say hree's a charm. So I'm trying again. For the past two football seasons I have begged, plead- ed and gotten down on my knees to get students to stay for an entire home football game. Since this is my final football season as a student and as sports editor before I graduate, I am trying this groveling thing one last time. It is so important that students like you pack the stands for the entire football game. That means getting to the game alxiut 20 minutes early and staying to the very end, ves, the end of the game, not the end of the first half. Obviously, I'm not a football player, but it breaks my heart when 1 see the stands virtually empty at the half on the student side. Most games are won or lost in the second half and most of the student body is gone before the team goes back onto the field for the third quarter. I know rnilgaring is a rirual before fnorball games, but I have a challenge for all of you. Try not to get so drunk and obiterated that you pass out before you even enter the gates to Dowdy-Ficklen. Wait until after the game, after we win, until you go back for more beer. 'hie Pirates need to hear your enthusiasm throughout the entire game. As many fans know, ECU games often come down to the wire, sometimes to the last play or last second on the clock. That's what college football is all ; about. The thrill of victory in the remaining seconds of the ! game. I just can't understand why anyone would want to miss out on a game like that. Those football players work their, for lack of a better term, asses off during the week in the hot sun. They work for hours, not just on the field but in the weight room, watching films, and homework. The very least we can do as fans is to support them for three to four hours on a Saturday afternoon. Now many people say, "Amanda, when it rains we don't want to get wet They have this channel called the weath- er channel, watch it. If it looks like it might rain, bring a . poncho or a raincoat. And for you all you ladies, maybe less hair spray and make-up on game day if it's going to rain, or even a bonnet to deal with nature's furry. I'd hate for you to go to a football game and not look your Sunday best. If the players and coaches have to be in the rain, why can't we? Rain, shine or "sleeting sideways" as Logan once said � rhe fans should be in rhe stands. I'm not one to beg, but I'll make an exception in this case. Those football players need to hear the roar of the crowd for four straight quarters. So now it's all up to you. See you at the game. R0CKIN' TIME IN THE EN0Z0NE Tennis teams seek ace of a season Melissa potter STAFF WRITER With a winning season behind them, the men's and women's tennis teams are pushing for the top of the confer- ence. Key returners for the Lady Pirates, including Mona Eek and Anne- Brigitte Svae, have built a strong foun- dation for the newcomers. Welcoming two freshmen and two transfers, these ladies are going to put up a fight. They're probably the best we've ever had" Assistant Coach Brian Jackson said. Joining the team this season, Jackson is haying to adjust to the team just as the new girls have. By working together, Jackson and Head Coach Bill Moore hope to come out on top of the other teams. Physical fitness has been an impor- tant concept for the ladies in promot- ing a confident team. Their talent, combined with strength, has given them a season to took forward to. The coaches expect the team to be com- petitive in every match and have a better chance of victory. Placing fifth in the conference last year, their goal for this season is a spot in the top three. "We just wipe the board clean and go for it Jackson said. With UNC-Wiimington, Davidson, and Charleston breathing down their neck, the Lady Pirates are going to have to use their strength and deter- mination to overcome their oppo- nents. It's going to take more than a few swings to win the ;e matches. The men's team has several return- ing players back "Everybody's back Moore said. SEE TENNIS.

Placing fifth with last year's lineup of fresh- men and sophomores, the strength of the team has increased with their returning experience. Good athletics, a drive to win and a famil- iarity with the conference are cer- tainly this team's assets. The main competition for the men is going to be coming from Virginia. William and Mary, Old Dominion and Richmond will be their top contenders, while VCU remains number one. Returner and captain Brett Rowley leads the team. While both teams are looking very strong, they would like to gain another player for both the men and women. The tennis team is also announcing its ECU Tennis Tournament, to be held September 26-28. Six schools have been invit- ed including UNC-Wilmington, UNC-Ashville, Appalachian, Elon, Charleston Southern and Coastal Carolina.

As of Sept. 9, the women's team is 1-3 and the men's team is 1-2. m "We're going through a iittle bit of a tough time, said women's Head Coach Neil Roberts. The women's team is suffering from injuries that have disrupted their game. To compensate for the loss, Roberts has shifted the positions of many of the players. The season opened on Aug. 30 with a 1-0 loss against Liberty. In their next game, the Pirates defeated Barton in a 5-0 blowout. The next two games were tough losses for the Pirates. On the sixth, they lost to Radford 2-1 and the next day lost to Virginia 4-1. "We're in a bit of a slump Roberts said. "We're not playing terribly, but we're just not getting all the breaks we could be The women's team plays William & Mary on Wednesday. It will be the CAA opener for the Pirates and a game phat is traditionally won by ECU. "We will have our work cut out for us against William and Mary on Wednesday, but our team is certainly look- ing forward to the challenge Roberts said. "We've always played very well against William & Mary After the William & Mary game, the women's team will play Appalachian State on Sunday. "The home rrwtch on Sunday versus Appalachian will be nice since it will be (Women's Soccer) Parents Day. Everyone will be glad to get back in front of the home crowd Roberts said. The women's team has more than enough talent to cause other teams to worry. Since the season began, many players have proven themselves to be aggressive members ot the team. Forward Jennifer Riley leads the team in scoring with three goals. Center midfielder Courtney Jurcich has helped the team with assists. The team's goalkeeper, Amy Horton, has immensely helped the defense. The men's team started the season off on the 31st with a 2-1 virrory over Elon. Their next games were Sept. 4 and Sept. 6 against the Citadel and Charleston Southern. They were beaten 3-1 by the Citadel and 4-0 by Charleston Southern. Next, the Rrates will play Virginia Tech on Thursday. After that game, they will return to ECU Sunday to play the Appalachian men's team. They are both games the Pirates are looking forward to. "We need to really have a good week of practice to prepare for Virginia Tech and Appalachian said men's Head Coach Will Wiberg. "We are going to get down to the basics. We will take it one game at a time and focus all of our attention at the beginning of the week on Virginia Tech. Tech will be iooking to even things up after last year, and we can't afford to have any mental mistakes The leading scorer on the men's team is Scott Pokomey. The freshman forward has scored two goals so far, including a last minute, game winning shot against Elon. Also making contributions arc midfielder Brian Denoo and sweeper Brett Waxer, who has started and played every minuie of every game. Both teams play their next home game Sunday, the Sept. 14th against Appalachian. The men's team will play at noon and the women's team will play at 2 p.m. KINGS FARM MARKET ��wn. "Come SeeUs for ?

We will host Wake Forest from the ACC (the only ACC team to play in Greenville since 1963), temporary bleachers have been added in both endzones, and the game will be televised to over 8 million homes on Fox Sports South. All that's left is the stands full with great ECU students to make Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium the loudest stadium in C- USA. Due to the stadium construction, the number of gates for fans to enter the stadium has been reduced for 1997. This means it will take longer for you to get into the stadium and to your seats. To make sure you are in your seats in time for a smoke filled team entrance, you are encouraged to arrive at the stadium gates at 300 pm. The gates that students should use for 1997 are Gates I and 6 located at the scoreboard end of the stadium. Your patience and cooperation during this time of construction will assist you to have a good time and will be appreciated by those who will be working the gates at the game. You filling the stands at every home game is extremely important to your football team. With you filling the student section on your feet making as much noise beginning with the team entrance to the final horn is a big home field advantage for the Pirates. There are a few times during the games where you can make a big impact When your Pirates are on defense and it's 3rd down or if an opposing team gets to our twenty yard line or closer to the endzone, let your defense know you are behind them by standing and making so much noise you can be heard in Charlotte. Also, special teams will be a key factor to the success of the Pirates this fall, every time the Pirates kkkoff or receive a kickoff, stand and get loud to support the special teams. We will be seen on television on more than one occasion this fall and have visiting fans at every game. In the parking lots and in the stands I encourage you to represent yourselves, your football team, and ECU in a first class manner and with enthusiasm. We are looking forward to playing at home in front of the greatest fans in college football. See you in (he stadium early. Go Pirates!

It takes a marching band, cheerleaders and mascots to generate the spirit which leads the Pirates to victory. As all Pirate fans know, at the beginning of every home foot- ball game, football players come charging through two lines of Marching Pirates to appear intimidating to the opposing team. Immediately after the line-up, the band performs their pre- game show. This year's pre-game show will include music from the Star Wars trilogy. "The pre-game show is a four minute segment that is designed to get everyone in stadium involved in making alot of noise, and to create intimidation for the opposing team said Chris Knighten, director of the Marching Pirates. The Marching Pirates worked during the summer on two half-time shows for this season's fans . The first one includes a wide range of music. The second one includes music from the Star if'ars trilogy. Throughout the musical performance, the band maneuvers in and out of 20-30 formations during every show. Knighten said ihe Marching Pirates goal was the same this year as in the past: to play music which entertains and creates an atmosphere of spirit for the crowd. During football games, the Marching Pirates work closely with the ECU cheerleaders to keep the level of spirit in the stands high. With cheers like "Hey, Hey, Hey EC you look so good to me cheerleaders engage the crowds. The cheerleading squad has added a new "mike" man for tlie season. The new squad member is responsible for yelling into the mike to let crowds know, line by line, what the cheer- leaders are saying. The squad hopes the addition of the "mike man" will help with crowd involvement in chants and cheers. Cheerleading Coach Paula Corbel! feels this new addition will help the crowd get more involved with the cheerleaders and, in return, lend support to the football team. Corhett said cheerleading has evolved over the years and that being a cheerleader is a tough job. Not only does the squad have to keep everyone in the stands enthusiastic, they also have to prepare for various cheerleading compelions. This year the squad is traveling to Florida to compete in the National Cheerleading Association competition. While the Marching Pirates and the ECU cheerleading squad work hard a! generating spirit, no football game would be complete without an appearance by PeeDee the Pirate. In the midst of large purple-shirted players, sideline staff, over 20 cheerleaders and countless photographers, PeeDee the Pirate manages to entertain crowds and support his team too. A mascot may be the heart and soui of team spirit, but being a mascot is less glamorous. CorbetL, who is also in charge of coordinating the mascots, said the costume mascots wear can be overwhelmingly hoi, especially during the first hot weather games of the season. To meet the challenging iob, there are four ECU students playing the role of PeeDee this season. Two people are needed for eaeh game to divide the job of playing PeeDee. While not busy al games or in school all of the FVeDees travel across Greenville, making appearances al birthday par- ties, health benefits and events such as Rotary Club meetings. PeeDee also works with various organizations raising money for different charities.

Head Coach Steve Logan knows this year could be a struggle. With only nine reluming starters, he is con- cerned. This year. Logan feels his defense will really have to step up and rise to the occasion. Very pointedly, we're going to have to count on our defense to win early Logan said at a recent media conference. "Things are going to start out a little slow is what my gut feeling is, and we're going to have to do some defensive work and special teams work It was that defense which ranked 37th in the nation in total defense and led the nation in takeaways last season. In 1992, ECU's defense was ranked 105th in the nation, so in just four years the defense moved up 68 places in their rankings. Due to graduation, three of the linebackers who accounted for 321 tackles on the defensive end are gone. But Junior Rod Coleman, who accounted for 52 tackles last season, says this year's defense is roaring logo. "We're up lo the chaUengeCnleman said. "We're not scared�we're jus ready, ready to get the season started The offensive line has been a concern with only one returning starter, and that is junior center Danny Moore. Moore says since everyone seems to doubt the job the offensive line can do, it isn't hard for them to get pumped up. "It's not hard to get motivated when everybody tells � III delivers confident answers you that you can't do it, you can't get the job done; it makes you wanl lo go out ihere and prove yourself and makes vnu chomp at the bit to gel out there and show everybody lhal you can get it done Moore said. "It makes you want lo work that much harder The offensive players have confidence in their line, and say they have the talent. Last Saturday's West Virginia game was their first chance lo play together. "I think they are a good group of players senior quarterback Dan Gonzalez said, "They are really tal- ented, but, of course, it's going to be the first time they are playing together. I'm not expecting them to do everything perfect Gonzalez added lhal if they try their hardest, he can't ask for anything more. "Eventually, I want them to build some consistency down the road, and it might not be there for the first me but as long as they are trying their hardest, there's nothing more I can ask of them Gonazlez said. With the start of this season, Gonzalez, who filled in nicely for an injured Marcus Crandell last season for the remaining four games, says the rest of the offense has worked hard for the anticipation of this season. "We've put it in a lot of hard work this off-season Gonzalez said. "I've done a lot of things personally to make sure I'm as ready as I possibly can be, and I think the offense in general has done that" Logan is confident Gonzalez, who threw for 1322 yards last year on 90 completions, will steadily improve throughout the season. "I talked to Danny, and what I'd like to see him do is get better each game throughout the 11 -game sched- ule we have ahead of us, and if he does that then he'll be the kind of quarterback who can win for us Logan said. One player who has proven he can help win is Scott Hariey, who rushed 1,745 yards and is the nation's leading returning rusher That figure set the single sea- 1997 ECU FOOTBALL SCHEDULEi DATEOPPONENTSITETIME Sept. 6at West VirginiaMorgantown, W.Va.L, 24-17 3:30 P.M.

N.C State experienced Hariey first-hand last season as they watched him roll to 351 yards, which is the ninth-best single game effort in NCAA history and best ever by a sophomore. He averaged 158.6 per game. When asked what he will have to do to have the kind of season he had last year, Hariey simply put it in two wonis: same thing Hariey said while he'd like to rack up just as many yards, us long as he can help the team to victory, the yards come second. "I'm just going to go out there and play as hard as I can Hariey said. 'Td rather have wins that a hun- dred-some yards a game. What's the use of running for those yards and not even winning, so I'd rather win first, then the yards can come Logan notes that it's not just Hariey's ability to run the ball that makes him so good, but the way he pro- tects the ball "The main thing he did last year that no one really talks about is the way he took care of the football Logan said. "I think he had two turnovers all year long For Logan, he is interested in seeing how Hariey will handle the title of nation's leading returning rush- er; "We're going lo see, now, how Scott handles this leading rusher in the nation, and all this stuff Logan said. "He's put in a lot of hard work last year. He's put in a lot of hard work this summer, so we'll see This year marks the inaugural season for Conference USA, and the players know tkey now have a conference championship they can compete for "It's very exciting Jason Nichols, senior flanker, said. "Now we have something real lo shoot for We have a conference championship we can go out Cot, and if we play right and win the right games, we can win. So, it's not so much of the pressure of the years before as having to go out and win every game lo get into a bowl game. I'm not saying we're not trying to win more games but now that we have the right games, that we have to win, if we take care of that we can still get in Women's soccer returns with experience JENSINA StUKZ TABLOID WRITER With 17 reluming players, the ECU women's soc- cer leam is expecting a good season.
