TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 23. 1997 EAST CAROLINA UNIVERSITY GREENVILLE. NORTH CAROLINA VOLUME 73. ISSUE 10 Nightclub accused of racial discrimination Students allege security guards asked them to enter through side door, avoiding country section of establishment ANGELA KOENIG STFF WKITF.K Security officials at a local nightclub allegedly denied access to African- American ECU students through one of its two doors last Tuesday night. Allegedly only white customers allowed to enter through door on the country side of Texas Two-Step and other people were told that admittance could only be gained-through the Top 40 side. Sophomore Jennifer Loudcrmilk was one of the students allegedly denied access through the door which she normally enters. "My friends and I got there and we just walked over to the country side. I usually go in on that side Loudermilk said. "The security officer said we couldn't come in because of man- agement rules Sophomore Emonie Whitley, also a patron at the club that night, was allegedly subjected to this discrimination. "A security guard told us we couldn't go in because we were African-American basically Whitley said. Loudermilk said the security officer then explained that at a meeting held prior to the opening of the club, a management official said that non-white customers were only to be admitted through one door. "He (the security official) said if we wanted to go in we had to go through the other side Loudermilk said. Once inside the club, patrons could freely roam between the sides. 'This is one of those things in life. Life is too hard and school is too hard and I will move on Whitley said. "I'm a person and I have feelings and you are a person and you have feelings too "My parents went through this. I never thought I would have to thought I would have to deal with this said Loudermilk. "This is a completely differ- ent generation Whitley also agreed with Loudcrmilk that it is surprising to wit- ness something like this. 'This is 1997, not 1955 and people need to think about it Whitley said. Loudermilk said she has not encountered such discriminatory behavior at the club before and had not been denied access in this way. She said she pre- viously purchased a membership to the club at the country entrance. Texas Two-Step owner Frank Malaguti was unavailable for comment. "My parents went through this.

The Pirate Underground was warned by the University Attorney's office soon after they began using the logo that their skull logo was inappropriate.

On the dav the lots were closed students immediately started passing around a petition protesting the loss of these parking spaces. Over the weekend, more than 100 signa- tures were collected. Branch funds groups, deals with constitution AMANDA AUSTIN VSSISTANT NEWS F.DITOK The time of year to vote for the Student Government Association (SGA) has come again. Voting for legislarure of SGA will take place on Wednesday. The legislature makes up one- third of the SGA and consists of representatives for day stu- dents, residence halls and class officers. This legislative branch is designed to represent the entire student body and meets on a weekly basis. "These are your student representatives, just like national and state representa- tives said Scott Forbes, SGA president. Students who become involved in the legislature have many roles and responsibilities to perform throughout the year. The student government legislature has the power to appropriate money that is received from a portion of stu- dent fees. The legislature appropriates these funds to var- ious stu- d e n t organiza- tions that have leg- islatively approved constitu- t i o n s . The leg- islature a I s o appropri- a t e s funds to the executive branch of SGA for its own functioning. The legislative branch also deals with the constitution. "They can pass rules and suggestions to change the con- stitution said Forbes. The legislature also has the power to vote on various resolu- tions and bills. After these res- olutions and bills are intro- duced to legislature they are assigned to the proper commit- tee within this body. Sophmore Warren Sherman is business major running for the position of day representa- tive. "A lot of people wanted me to run, and I like people and want to get to know people and to get involved with ECU said Sherman. According to Sherman, SGA is the way for him to get involved.

September 23, 1997 news The East Carolinian College organizations seek to register, inform voters for local election Student Vote 7, College Democrats, College Republicans start drives for student voter registration Dawn Ernteman STAFF WRITER Requirements to Register to Vote You must be 18 years of age by Nov. 4, 1997. You must have lived at your current address for 30 days prior to Nov. 4,1997. You must be a U.S. citizen. You must have not been convicted of a felony. Currently there are three student groups on campus working on the voter registration drives. Student Vote 97, College Democrats and College Republicans are all involved in an extensive program to get students registered to vote. The upcoming city council elections in Greenville are of immediate concern. There could be some big changes on the council if students reg- ister to vote and actually vote on Nov. 4. Student Vote 97, led by Johnny Rouse, is new to ECU this fall. "Our main goals are to try to dissolve the politi- cal apathy of the students on this campus Rouse said. Members of Student Vote 97 are working to get students registered to vote by handing out voter registration applications to students and contacting leaders of student organizations to get their mem- bers registered. "The biggest misconception about voter regis- tration is that people don't realize that they can vote here, even if they are not from here Rouse added. Almost anyone is eligible to register to vote. In order to register, four requirements must be met. Registering to vote allows students to have a strong collective voice for this campus on issues that concern both Greenville and ECU. "Today's students will represent what we see in the future. We must be heard said Rouse. The ECU College Democrats are taking part in the cause as well. Mike Walker, senior and vice president, made it very clear. As far as the voter registration project is con- cerned, this is explicitly a public service. This is completely nonideological. We are not just out to get democrats registered. We want only to inform the student body of the local elections and the requirements to register to vote College Democrats have set up drop boxes and voter registration applications in the lobbies of all of the residence hall on campus as well as the lobby of Joyner library. There are also instructions and a list of the qualifications at each drop box site. All of the boxes are kept under lock and key so as to prevent tampering. College Democrats will drop the boxes off at the Pitt County Board of Elections to register the applicants. The group also has public service announce- ments on WZMB radio reminding students of how, when, and where, to register to vote. "The upcoming city elections arc very important to studentsthe city council has a lot of impact on ECU Walker concluded. College Republicans are also setting up to get people registered to vote for the November elec- tions. "We are going to have tables set up at the Wright Place, Mendenhall, and College Hillsaid David Sturm, chairman of College Republicans. Currently ECU fells into three different voting districts. The candidates for each district include: District 1, Mildred Council and Mike Rough; District 2, Ruffus Huggins; District 3, Inez Fridley and Steve McLawhorn. For more information on student voter registra- tion call: Johnny Rouse: 321-8993 (Student Vote 97) Mike Walker 757-3768 (College Democrats) Dave Sturm: 353-0808 (College Republicans) The deadline for voter registration is Oct. 10 for the local elections that will take place Nov. 4, 1997. Red Cross blood drive Wednesday JON! SUBETTE STAFF WRITER There will soon be blood everywhere at Mendenhall Student Center. But that's a good thing The Red Cross will be taking donations from all interested students and faculty this Wed. and Thurs. from 8am-11pm at Mendenhall. Before giving blood, any interested donor that weighs at least 110 lbs. and is 17 yrs. of age or older must first go through a short screening process and a check of vital signs. "The annual blood drive at ECU has been an on going tradition for many years, and it seems as if the Red Cross as well as the community depends a great deal on the students at ECU said Judy Baker, head of the Student VWunteer Program. It seems as though, over the last few years stu- dent participation has rapidly declined. Almost 3991 less gave blood in the last collection, than the amount of donors that contribted ten years ago. The Red Cross's prime goal is to increase participa- tion by the end of this year. "We would like to see things turn around, we now have chancellors support and are trying to get the staff involved also said Debbie Page, The Red Cross donor recruitment representative. Sonic tend to think that tin: reasons fur the recent drop in donations is a result of the increas- ing numbers in students that have tattoos. Under the Red Cross guidelines for qualified blood donors, any donor that has had a tattoo within the last year is uneligable to give. "Some students tend to give blood because they receive extra credit, we wish that they would get involved for other reasons said Heather Zophy, the Heath Education Coordinator with the Student Health Services. Every time a collection is taken just one donor can help up to 4 people. "We are always looking for a link between the community and the students said Baker The Red Cross would like to let those who are interested know that the blood types O and B are greatly needed, but any blood type is always wel- come. "The actual process of giving Wood takes only about ten minutes bur makes you feel good alxmt yourself all day said Lisa Manez, a freshman biol- ogy major. Continuing Education celebrates 50 years amber Tatum STAFF WRITER The Continuing Education division has come a long way in half a century and recently celebrated their achieve- ments with a reception held recently A project provided to adult stu- dents from the time of World War II, Continuing Ed has made a tot of progress since it began in 1947. Once known as the East Carolina Bureau of Field Service, the department did not adopt its current name until 1967. The Erwin building has housed this division for 30 years now. 7 celebration was possible only because faculty and teachers off cam- pus are an important counterpart to adult students said Dr. Diana Henshaw, director of the Division of Continuing Studies. At the reception, junior Alan Buna presented a pen and ink drawing of the Erwin building as a gift. Bunai, a retired Air Force officer who has served some time in the Gulf, found a place to go on and earn a degree in art. The Max Ray Joyner Award for Faculty Service through Continuing Education, recently created, will be inaugurated at the end of the acadeemic year. "This award, was created by off- campus nominations said Henshaw. Dr. Terrance E. Deal, a professor at Vanderbiit University, was the guest speaker at the reception. He special- izes in organization and leadership issues and is former co-director of the National Center for Educational Dr. AM. Fleming from the University of Strathdyde, Glascow, Scotland presents anniversary pjfl to Chancellor Richard Eakin while Or. Diana Henshaw, director of continuing studies looks on.

Music was provided by three stu- dents form the School of Music. ECU Chancellor Richard Eakin and Yke- Chancellor Richard Ringcisen both strongly support the job that the Division of Continuing Studies has done. "As eastern North Carolina's uni- versity, we have a special mission and responsibility to reach out to the largest possible number of citizens, to be sure that East Carolina University and its educational resources benefit the entire region said Eakin in a press release earlier this month. University Printing and Graphics slated to relocate Natasha Phillips STAFF WRITER University Printing and Graphics is scheduled to relocate later this year. ITie department's new location will be on the site of the old Harris Supermarket at 2612 E 10th. Street, where a nesv building is currently under con- struction. The new building will be almost three times larger than their current facility on the first floor of the Student Publications building. "Moving to a new location will provide ECU stu- dents, faculty, staff, and Printing and Graphics employees with numerous benefits. The depart- ment will be more efficient and accessible. There will be more parking spaces and the overall work environment will be improved said Robert E Harlow, director of University Printing and Graphics. The anticipated moving date is currently under debate. Changing facilities will result in weeks of planning and slowly vacating the premises. "The builder's target date for completion is Nov. 15; however, ECU officials expect to move by December IS said Harlow. "The print shop has grown in its functions. The move will give them the room to grow and expand. The decision to relocate is being driven by the needs of the campus said Layton Getsinger, asso- ciate vice chancellor for Administration and Finance. The Harris family has agreed to rebuild their old building to fit the requirements for the new University Printing and Graphics location. ECU will be purchasing a building for less than it's actually worth. This arrangement will be made possible by the Harris family's generous business deal. "ECU will be involved in a bargain-sale arrange- ment. The owner of the property will be given a gift in exchange for their contribution. It's usually the difference between the purchase price and appraised value of the property. This benefits everyone involved said Getsinger. As for the old building, no plans have yet been made about renovation. "The main motivation for our move is for the fac- ulty, staff and students at ECU. Vfc will be able to provide faster and more efficient service. We spe- cialize in trying to take care of our customers and help them squeeze more mileage out of their limit- ed printing budgets said Harlow. "It's indicative of the university's growth. University Printing and Graphics is driven by cus- tomer needs said Getsinger. If you would like more information about University Printing and Graphics, please call Harlow and 328-6468.

Jesse Helms says he's planning to build a legacy of getting things done and not just standing against things he cant abide like pubtic art, gay rights, liberal judges and William Wild. North Carolina's Republican senator for 25 years. Helms has built his power by learning the rule book and acting as a one-man roadblock. He's earned the nick- name "Senator No" in pan by fighting every president since Richard Nixon. As the chairman of the Senate Rweign Relations Committee, Helms single- handedly blocked President Clinton's nomination of fellow Republican Wild to be ambassador to Mexico. Weld gave up his fight for the post last week. But with five years left on a six-year Senate term he expects to be his last. Helms said he plans to forge foreign and domestic policy by making the most of increasingly friendly relationships with the Clinton administration. Senate committee reviewing phaseout of tobacco program WASHINGTON (AP) �With the big tobacco agreement in limbo, the Senate Agriculture Committee is working on legislation that would phase out federal tobacco programs, Chairman Richard Lugar said Sunday Lugar, R-Ind said his committee will have ready this fell its part of the tobac- co legislation, including the phaseout, an $8-a-pound buyout of tobacco quotas and aid to communities whose economics depend on the crop. President Clinton, in seeking to toughen the tobscco agreement reached this summer by state attorneys general and cigarette- makers, laid out principles he wanted to see in final legislation. They included protection for tobacco farmers, as well as ensuring a drop in teen smoking and full government control over nicotine. Tobacco is grown in more than 20 states, with two-thirds of the crop from North Carolina and Kentucky time later at St. Mary's Hospital in Amsterdam.

Freshmen enrollment falls short at University of Rochester ROCHESTER, NX (AP) The University of Rochester fell 99 students short of its goal of 900 freshmen this year. The private university said 9,000 students applied for the freshman class, a little more than last year. But among those who were accepted, fewer than expected chose to enroll. The shortfall translates into a $2 million loss. In an effort to save money, concentrate resources and attract more high-quality students, the school is in the midst of lowering its undergraduate population from about 4,400 students to 3,600.

RALEIGH (AP) � The federal gov- ernment can help universities by pro- viding more financial aid, university presidents and college students said at a forum Monday "What we're talking about today is how to ensure that the average working family can afford a college education said U.S. Rep. David Price, who organized the meeting to talk about the federal Higher Education Act. The act, which comes up for renewal this year, governs all federal students loans, grants and scholar- ships. David Longanecker, the U.S. distant secretary for post-secondary jducation, said higher education iame out well in this year's budget discussions between Congress and the White House. "Within a balanced budget, you can still set priorities Longanecker said. "Both Congress and the presi- dent have indicated education will be one area where there is likely to be more spending, even in tight budget times Mohan Nathan, a student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, said lie was concerned about the increasing numbers of stu- dents borrowing money to attend college. "We seem to have made a con- scious decision as a nation that the preferred method for financing a col- lege education is debt Nathan said. We've seen an increasing trend away from grants to loans Logo continued from page t Parking continued from page 1 buses run until 12:30, and anyone parking at these lots later often have to walk up to two mites back to their residence halls.

"(Channel Nine) didn't do exact- ly what we had expected, but they still helped us ou: alot said Merrill. On Monday, the students gath- ered at a hall council meeting to orga- nize and come up with an idea for a solution. McDill believes if the council meeting addresses the need for more adequate transit from Allied Health and other parking lots, and doesn't turn into a gripe session about the loss of 250 parking spaces, they might make a difference. This is a safety issue more than a lack of parking issue said McDill.

"When we were designing, we thought Pee Dee the Pirate was the University logo said Peyton Crump, who designed the logo.

That leaves students saddled with debt as they leave college and begin to build a career, he said. For students from poor families, that debt can be overwhelming. Julius Chambers, the chancellor of North Carolina Central University and a longtime civil rights advocate, said for years he had considered the, 1964 Voting Rights Act the most sig- nificant law passed under President Lyndon Johnson. But he said he had changed his, mind. "This act (passed in 1965) has opened up more opportunities f� minorities and the poor than any other legislation of the era Chambers said.

Fa ariamior. a 9SmKrH oumew With the upcoming elections for the SGA Legislative Branch, it's tempting to complain about liw voter turnout and the general apathy of ECU students. After all, it wasn't until last year's fiasco with the SGA voting themselves a tuition break with our money that many students even cared about SGA. Now that everything's peachy again, who's to say that voter turnout won't be lrw again? ECU students need to take responsibility for their futures and their educations. A good education is not something that happens on a conveyor belt, it is something which the stu- dent must be firmly involved. However, it is noteworthy to point out that a good many students may not even know about the election, or what the SGA is for. And while students do have a responsibility to get involved, their involvement is severely limited by the lack of information provided by the SGA and ECU. Inhere has been little publicity to date concerning this most imminent election, and some stu- dents don't even know there is a legislative branch or what it does. ! Without this information, students cannot take responsibility, even if they wanted to. It has been said that no vote is better than an uninformed vote. Which is more reckless: having low vpter turnout, or having a bunch of students who don't know the candidates or the issues turn otit and vote? As it stands now, one is likely to find that the average student who votes probably dpesSn't vote on issues, byt on what fraternity or sorority the candidate is in. ; One realty has to worider-why the student- population is kept more or less in the dark about how their student government operates and how they can get involved. Most governments who keep their operating procedures secret are up to something shady. Certainly, there is information in the undergraduate catalog, but who's going to read the entire catalog just in case there's a scrap of information that might be useful? How about some- thing a little more accessible and user friendly? How about the SGA spending a little of our money to inform incoming freshmen how the SGA works? Perhaps something could be done during orientation to increase student awareness of the SGAs role in the campus community. For now, there is an article in this paper concerning the election, which can be helpful for stu- dents who want to vote. We encourage all students to exercise their rights and make their con- cerns known by voting. LETTER to me EditO! Student Rec Center should change tune � Since classes began, my husband and I have been going to the Student Recreation Center (SRC) nearly every morning. On several occasions, the staff in the weight training area have played contemporary Christian music, and it occurred to me that I did not Have to listen to thb torture. My reli- gious beliefs (or lack thereof) are well- protected under the first amendment: �Congress shall make no law respect- ing the establishment of religion "this has been interpreted by the Supreme Court to mean that state- funded institutions (i.e. schools) can- riot be places where people are unwill- ingly subjected to religious propagan- da of any kind. In the 1980 Supreme Court case Stone v. Graham, the Court ruled that schools could not post anything that has a "pre-eminent purpose plainly of religious nature Playing Christian music certainly meets this criterion. On the third offense, I requested that the music be changed, informing the attendant that playing religious music there was against the law. He seemed dubious. Apparently, the young lad was absent the day they taught separation of church and state in his high school government class. I don't think I convinced him of his error, but at least he switched the music. Asking the SRC staff to change their tune may seem to be a violation of their sight to free speech. This is clearly not the case; their right to free speech ends where the Establishment Clause begins. State-funded schools are allowed to present a religious me- LETTER to the Editor Too few parking spaces left to fight for umrusts AGAINST Jeff BERGMAN On-line crime reporting not a good idea As long as judicial candi- dates participate in cam- paigns, they will not be objective. They won't admit this, of course. Judges don't live in a Utopian society. Their upbringing, judgments and social interactions will shape their on-the- bench decisions. Turn me in to the ECU police depart- ment. You do not have to give your name. You can remain anonymous. You can bust me from afar. Crime is a problem, not as serious ' as public perception makes it out to be, but a problem nonetheless. In our frenzy to reduce crime we are step- ping on some mighty serious toes. Anonymous tips have helped the police in the past. Now you can give an anonymous tip on- line without giving your name. The only information that you will proba- bly give is that pertaining to the crime. The "toes" I was speaking about earlier is being able to face your accuser. Certain exceptions are made when facing your accuser; children in sexual assault cases are sometimes allowed to give testimony from another room via television and cam corder. Facing the person who wit- nesses the crime or results in getting a search warrant issued is vital to our civil liberties. People giving information about the crime give no personal informa- tion and do not have to face those they accuse. I am against anonymous tips for this reason. Yet, I am able to see where the anonymous tips might come in handy. Terrorist bombings, where the informants have grave reasons to fear for their iives, are a good use of anonymous tips, as are a lot of mur- der, rape, child abuse and other such high profile cases. In these cases the informant might have good reason to fear for their lives. Anonymous tips in respect to small quantities of illegal drugs, underage drinking, illegal parking, jaywalking, or any other misdemeanor offenses are not needed. Sure, you can dial into the ECU police homepage to report every crime. You can also be mad at me for writing that all crimes should not be reported. The problem with that thinking is one of concern to myself. Totalitarian governments often start with encour- aging citizens to turn in their neigh- bors, family members, or friends for any crime. Now I am not a member of the Michigan Militia or other such fringe anti-government organization. Unless you count the Libertarian party; of which I am a card-carrying member. Or perhaps the American Civil Liberties Union that I support. A minute amount of crime being solved is not a good tradeoff for the possibilities that could happen. A Pandora's Box, if you will, could be opened. Anonymous tips on small crimes are not a good idea. Pranks or revenge tactics through the anonymous on- line Crime Stoppers are a small possi- bility, but a possibility that needs to be addressed. sage only when consent is obtained from all participating parties and an "open forum" of the type discussed in the 1995 Rosenberger v. University of Virginia case is established. The bottom line is that the SRC is broadcasting religious messages to anyone (willing or unwilling) who comes into the weight training area on certain mornings. I have the well-sup- ported legal right as a taxpayer and student to ask that I not be preached to (or serenaded) in a school that I help pay for by �meone"who1s wOtk ing for a salary 1 also provide. Laura H. Boyd Senior Philosophy FOR COCHRAN Use the internet as a deterrent to crime Once again we have yet another prob- lem with the ECU Parking and Traffic Services. This time they decided, along with Facility Services, to remove the gravel parking lot between the ECU police station and the Baptist Student Union. What an uncaring and thoughtless decision! � As a resident of Umstead, I am now forced to park on a side street between the Kappa Sigma house and the Delta Sigma house. This past Monday I had to park close to Domino's pizza because all of the spaces on the side streets were taken by cars with resident stickers. Last year, I was a freshman and did not have a parking sticker for my car. As a sophomore, I was very happy in August thinking that finally I too would be one of the privileged few to have a resident sticker and park closer to my residence hall. I stood in line at Traffic Services, only too willing to write a $96 check. I have heard people say that the resident sticker is only a "hunting license but no one told me there would be no "game" to hunt. Somebody do something! What about security? What about females (ot males) walking by them- selves in non-lighted, non-patrolled, non-escorted areas? As I was walking from my parking place recently, I saw many corners and bushes where a rapist or robber could hide. Will it take some student getting raped or mugged to make a difference in the parking situation? What is the $96 we pay for parking stickers being used for if not to provide adequate parking spaces for all? I hope that as students, our voice upon this campus will be heard about this decision. We cannot be robbed of privileges we pay for. Russell Lewis Sophomore Decision Sciences Sure, the internet may deper- sonalize humanityBut why not use it in the meantime to bust a couple of crooks and thieves? Why not use it to fight back? We can point- and-click our way to a crime- free, better tomorrow. Hey, I'm all for on-line reporting of campus crimes. You all know as well as I do that crime sucks, and that we've got too much of it in America. If this internet, e-mail stuff can do some- thing to bust a couple of criminals here and there, then I'm for using it. Sure, some goofballs probably get on there and say they know who shot JFKJmu it airft like the ECU police department can't use a Tittle work (maybe they can stop handing out so many parking tickets and check out these JFK tipsters instead). And who knows, maybe an ECU undergrad was there on the grassy knoll in 1963. Anything's possible. Furthermore, I'm sure one of you out there has been in this situation; you know, wandering home from downtown good and liquored up, and one of your goofball buddies decides he's gonna pull a fire alarm and wake allbf Bclk or Tyler Hall upat 2:30 a.m. If you could point-and-click your way to busting these fire alarm losers, wouldn't you do it? And riow many times have you seen some joker steal a couple of CDs out of one of your neighbors' rooms? Well with this internet stuff, it's just a point-and-click and no more joker. Sure, the internet may depersonal- ize humanity to the point where one day we'll all be anti-social couch pota- toes who won't leave home for fear of being robbed or mugged anyway. And sure crooks and thieves will probably use this Bill Gates wonder-world to rob us all from the comfort of their homes. But why not use it in the mean- time to bust a couple of crooks and thieves? Why not use it to fight back? We can poirit-and-click our way to a crime-free, better tomorrow. I can almost hear the celluloid birds chirp- ing away. And I've got to agree with Officer Jordan of the ECU task force who said, "If the crime tip page) only solves one case, it will have served its purpose Damn straight. Let's oust those marijuana-smoking neighbors that smell up the dorm halls with Glade air freshener and incense. Let's quiet the halls of that late-night blar- ing of Grateful Dead and Led Zeppelin. It's my honest belief that by pointing-and-clicking, we can make this campus a safer place for each and everyone of us. God bless America.

PHOTO COURTESY OF BEA ARTHUR WEB PAGE Naked on the net ANDY TURNER LIFESTYLE EDITOR Sometimes I'm just sitting around try- ing to think of an appropriate and useful way to spend my time. I could read, maybe get some studying done. Nah, no good. What to do? And then it comes to me, Vtk on the net and find some buck-naked pictures of Bea Arthur Where to start this search for the golden girl's glossy goods? Well, I got on Yahoo and punched in "naked celebri- ties There are endless sites dedicated t the pursuit of exposing celebrity flesh. The first site that grabbed my atten- tion was Celebrities Missing Their Panties (www.naked-celcbs.com). That's a terrible fate to befall a person. lfou ever woke up with a can of Colt 45 balanced on your forehead, not knowing where the hell your draws were? Terrible, I tell you. This site was non- impressive. They had pictures of Pamela Lee and that guy with the tat- toos in Motley Crue. That's all of 'em, never mind. There was this one picture showing up Marian Carey's skirt. They need to spend their time figuring out why so many people buy her records. Linda Blair, star of Ike Exotria and Rotor Boogie, was also captured in the buff on the site. Good to see they had her head on straight. Through the Ultimate Nude Celebrity Site (www. csleuth.com), you can access Scream Queens International, a magazine dedicated to showing slasher movie heroines in their birthday suits. I'm certain oT Joe Bob Briggs would endorse this site. Screen Queen seemed to have a better sense of humor rhan a lot of the sites I pulled up. There are too marry dirty bastards on the net; they havesites dedicated to sex with bucktoothed goats and underaged cross-eyed cheerieaders and other stuff they don't need to be showing. Most of the sites only offered small samplers of the naked celebs; if you wanted to see more, you had to fork out the bucks. They'll try arid fool you too, with guar- antees of 100 percent free bare-assed famous people. A site called 10,000 Naked Celebrities (www.10000celebs.com) apparently needs to trim back its offer- ings. Their frecbie was a picture of Dana Plato (Kimberry from Dtfferent .Strokes). My number one rule of naked- ;ness is I don't want to see anybody asso- - dated with Gary Colcman with their ass I hanging out. I mean, 1 sec Dana Plato's ! breasts, but with the head of Gary Cc4eman- Those kinds of visuals can �scar your eyes. One of the most interesting sites I 1 encountered was Rob's Relaxing ; Celebrities (httphomepage.enter- ; prise.net). This guy, Rob, said he fig- ured there were roo many sites on the � net that only featured Hollywood's offerings. He wanted to show that good ! old Great Britain had more to offer than a big-ass clock and some fish wrapped up in newspapers. But this sire doesn't � defame Rob's British ladies. Their not naked at all, jiist laying around not doing anything - relaxing. 1 don't know who 'he hell any of these women are, but you know, sometimes I like to look at blurry pictures of British women reading the newspaper. I guess you have to do some- ! thing with it after you're finished with ; the fish. My quest for Bea Arthur was unreal- ized. I even tried punching up Bea I Arthur buck-naked. That lead me to the Bea Arthur web page (www.softcom.netusersbobdabea). i No Naked Bea. They teased me by mentioning a reference to Bea in that really bad Adam Sandier movie. That's all of them, never mind. In that movie, their quest of the naked Bea was real- ized. I know those pictures arc out there, and I will find them. Just mc and � Bea. Forever. Through broken arms and run-ins with the cops, skaters still skate! MlCCAH SMITH STAFF WHITER Ever walk past Alfredo's in the after- noon and wonder, "What are all those skater dudes doing out here? Who are they?" The mini-community which con- gregates between Chicos and Fifth Street has been exposed for what it is: a hotbed of adolescent skater subcul- ture cleverly disguised as the patron- age of the business located beside Alfredo's, known as the Backdoor Skate Shop. The dudes outside range in age from about fifteen to twenty-one, and most of them live in nearby neighbor- hoods. Their culture is a mix of the old and new schools of skate, and although most of them still cling to the Beastie Boys, Minor Threat and Anthrax music of the olden days has been replaced by Helmet and straight-edge bands. They skate in a reckless self- taught way, ignorant of the dangers from which most mothers would cringe in horror. Ir's a good thing their mothers can't see them, because they're often either getting in trouble or busting their butts. Ryan, 21; Jacob, 15; and Greg. 23, have all been harassed by the police. Greg sports an arm cast, as does Nathan, a 20-year-old ECU student, but the general consensus is that skat- ing does not usually involve serious injury. Go figure. Nathan, the only ECU student I spoke to, considers himself an old-schooler. He remem- bers the old days of Vision Streetwear, backyard ramps and Converse Hi- Tops. He even passed my test for determining if a skater is old-school or not. "Finish this sentence I said. fou gotta fight for your right " lb party he exclaimed, naming the song that epitomized the '80s skate culture, when Licensed to HI by the Beastie Boys was an album every self- respecting skater owned. Too many times, the Backdoor dudes flunked the test, meeting my question with quizzical stares, not that I much care. Old or new, skate is skate. Skaters will always be young, sweaty, sassy and clad in T-shirts and Air.valks. The Backdoor offers another dimension of excitement for those skaters bold enough to try, ramps and a bowl. The ramps are just plywood structures, but the bowl is a different story. It truly looks intimidating, rem- iniscent of an empty swimming pool with sloped sides. Greg skates it, broken arm and all, and he's pretty good at it, but he's been skating for a long time. Some of the guys have only been skating for a matter of months. Cassidy, age 8, is the only female skater I met. She's not quite ready to tackle even the ramps yet, and most of the guys out- side prefer to stay there and do their tricks on the sidewalk. Some of the skaters help out in the Backdoor, which is quite a well-stocked, if out- of-the-way, shop. ECU musicians and skaters alike might be interested to know that the Backdoor carries a selection of used amps, guitars, strings, picks, an prints, stickers, videos, boards, wheels, shoes, book bags and T-shirts. The atmos- phere is laid-back, the rapport between the skaters and the clerks is brotherly, and all can be found enjoy- ing a skate video by the dusty, dim late afternoon light. When the store closes at eight, the skaters outside tend to disperse, but the next day always finds them hang- ing around downtown again like there's nothing else worth doing iff. the world. As Nathan puts it half-seri- ousry, "It's not a hobby, it's a way of life Don't feed the skaters: Shane McDowell of Greenville skates tough.

ZlNCONE 1.1 FST ttkl I KR As the popularity of blucgrass and bluegrass influenced bands rears it long awaited head here in Greenville, I thought I would share some points of interest with those of you who follow Bill Monroe's music. 14 Whether it is a festival you are looking for, a jam session or a radio show to hear old and new music, it is out there to be found. Not only are there a few regional jam ses- sions that one can learn about through word of mouth (check out the guitar shops that cater to the bluegrassers), but there is a once a month gathering only 45 minutes from Greenville. The Eastern North Carolina Bluegrass Association meets every second Saturday at Ixmior Community College to warm the hearts of bluegrass fans and bluegrass players. The night is set up with a schedule of local and regional bands. Jam sessions can be found in the halls and occa- sionally the locker rooms surrounding the auditorium. There is a small admission fee, a mere pittance for any- one with the bug. The most authentic experience I can recommend is for Bluegrass fans to attend a real Bluegrass festival, such as Bass Mountain, Galax or Butterwood. Butterwood is the onlv festival of its size held in the eastern part of the state. This unique cultural experience can be found near the town of Littleton, N.C. thanks to the Fox family. Those of vou who are familiar to North Carolina's geogra- phy know that Littleton is just over yonder (approxi- mately one and one-half hours). This year the festival will be held October 2,3, and 4.

Government conspiracies involving extraterrestrial life on earth was not a new concept, especially for Hollywood, but the craze had died down a bit by the '80s. Sure, there was EX and other stragglers craving attention, but for the most part the American public simply was not interested in alien invasions. Then the '90s mentality eased its wav into our culture, and the securi- ty blanket known as the '80s, which was filled with such solid American archetypes as Rambo and Reagan, quickly unraveled. The new decade decidedly took a more postmodern view of life and allowed the world's suppressed paranoia to sink in. Now, you couldn't trust anyone, especially those in power, and you have to acknowledge that the universe is far too big a place for us earthlings to be alone. Yes, the closer the next millenni- um approaches, the more main- stream American is willing to at least consider the possibility of aliens from outer space. Worse yet, many of these aliens are not nice and cute like our friend E.T. The X-Files, in perfect timing, SEE TUBE BOOB.

The band prefers to play what they like and let the listeners decide what they think, instead of trying to dissect their music and pigeon hole them- selves into the alternative country, twang core, whatever genre that has gained notoriety around this area over the last couple of years.

Earle was originally supposed to see fellow Raleigh twangsters Whiskeytown but was so impressed with Six String Drag's bewitching harmonies (reminiscent of the Louvin Brothers) that he knew he had to sign them after hearing only three songs. The result was a near perfect masterpiece by singer Kenny Roby, bass player Rob Keller, drum- mer Ray Duffy, and guitarist William Tonks that, luckily, escaped overpro- duction and too much studio magic. Their CD is much like their live sets with an abundance of energy that never seems to stop. Even at the beginning of the night when there were no more than 20 people in the audience, 6 String Drag cranked out their signature harmonies blended with traditional country and folk ele- ments to play some great rock and roll characteristic of the days when Elvis got his influences from gospel music. Playing plenty of good stuff off their new release such as "Elaine "Gasoline Maybelline "I Can't Remember "Bottle of Blues" and crowd pleaser "Ghost 6String Drag mixed it up with a few of their favorite songs by Tom T Hall and Texas Tornadoes including "VVho Were You Thinking of When We Were Making Love Last Night They added to their honky-tonkness with a little trash talking and beer can throwing. By the end of the night Six String Drag had Peasants packed with peo- ple dancing and drinking PBR in the can. Their last song of the night, "When the Saints Go Marching In" was a soulful salute to the influences of Ray Charles, Elvis Costello, James Brown and Ralph and Carter Stanley.

Blues singer dead at 74 ' Svix i i t �. � Jimmy Witherspoon played the blues like nobody s business PHOTO COURTS OF JIMMt rtilHEBSPOON AtB PAGE LOS ANGELES (AP) Blues singer Jimmy Witherspoon, whose deep, smoky voicewas the trademark of a career that spanned six decades, has died, authorities said Saturday. He was 74. Witherspoon died of natural causes on Thursday in Los Angeles, (Haudine Ratcliffe, a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County coroner's office. No other details were available, she said. "He was one of the greatest blues performers of all rime said Gap. "Wagman" Wagner, a disc jockey at KLON-FM in Los Angeles. "In terms of being a singer, that's where he would really shine. He was always a fantastic vocalist "Spoon as he was known. record- ed dozens of albums and seemed at home fronting both small bands and large orchestras. His career included tours in Europe, prison performances and appearances at such influential venues as the Monterey Jazz Festival. Some of his hit include "Blues Around the Clock "Some of My Best Friends are the Blues and "Blue- Spoon "No matter what he was singing, people would pay attention Wagner said. Born Aug. 8. 1923 in Gurdon, Ark Witherspoon had no formal musical training. He performed in the gospel choir at his Baptist church, where he became the main soloist at age 10. At 16, Witherspoon left home and made his wav to California, where he did odd jobs until joining the Merchant Marines in World War II. His travels brought him to Calcutta, where he sat in with Teddy Weatherford's big band. Weatherford encouraged him to pursue a singing career, which he did in 1944 after his tour of duty ended. He appeared in the clubs on Los Angeles' Central Avenue, then a thriv- ing music scene, and got a big break when he was invited to join Jay McShann's band in Vallejo. He toured with the band for several years. In 1949. Witherspoon cut his first single. 'Ain't Nobody's Business It reached No. 1 on rhythm and blues record charts and remained there for nine months. He continued to record through the 1950s with some success and also began to use a more jazz-inflected style. His star dimmed with the advent of rock 'n' roll but he made a come- back performance at the 1959 Monterey Jazz Festival. Over the next decade he recorded with Karl Hines and other jazz greats, made European tours and regularlv visited prisons to perform for inmates. In the 1970s, Witherspoon returned to a deeper, blues styles. I le toured with guitarist Robhen Ford and produced the single "Love is a Five Letter Word"in 1975. He appeared at blues and jazz fes- tivals both at home and overseas through the mid-1980s, when a bout of throat cancer took him off the scene. After surgery, the disease went into remission. Witherspoon returned to the stage in the late 1980s, but his damaged vocal chords had lost some vocal impact. He rejoined Ford in the early 1990s. Their "Live at the Mint"album was nominated for the 1995 Grammy Award for best traditional blues album. X MARK A.

For the first time since 1984, the Pirates were shut out in their home sta- dium 26-0. The last time the Pirates were shut out at home was against Temple, and the last time they were shut out was against Illinois on Sept. 23, 1995, when they suffered a 7-0 loss at Illinois. All in all, it was one of the poorest offensive showings many fans and play- ers had seen in a long time. For the sec- ond straight week, the Pirates found themselves down early, but this week they couldn't make a remarkable come- back victory. For center Danny Moore, getting down early is something the Pirates are used to, but don't necessarily care for. "It's starting to become a habit for us to come out slowly Moore said. "When you do that, it makes it hard to come back no matter how well conditioned you are �Many of the ECU players felt they could come back being down 17-0 at the half, since they came back from being 21-0 last week. But that was a dif- ferent game, and a different week. "We went out in the second half with the intention of coming back, but we stuttered again Moore said. Split end Troy Smith, who led the receivers with 31 yards on four catches, said the offense just couldn't get jump started. "We felt we could come back based on coming back last week against Wake Forest Smith said. "They didn't surprise us with any- thing defensively; we just couldn't get it going when we had the ball And getting it going was something the Pirates couldn't do all day. ECU tied another record set in 1993 against Washington with the fewest rushing vards � four. The Pirates onlv gained 89 yards in the air, totalling 93 offensive yards compared to South Carolina's 349 total yards. Coach Steve Logan wasn't upset with the way his players per- formed, but the way rhey executed. "I'm not down on the kids; I'm down on the execution Logan said. "It's something we have to continue to coach Logan noted the penalties early in the game and the inter- ception by the Gamecocks' Kevin Brooks, which led to an even- tual touchdown just before the end of the first half, really hurt the Pirates' chances for a comeback. 'The early penalties kept us from getting any rhythm offen- sively, and the interception that we threw right before halftimc really hurt Logan said. "If we had come in 10-0 at halftime I thought we could have a shot ECU quarterback Dan Gonzalez, who had hoped to celebrate a victory on his 23rd birthday on Saturday, said they had some big plays that could have turned things around, but like Logan said, penalties hurt. "We had a couple big plays that maybe would have gotten us going, but we had some penaltiesyou have to overcome those things, and we weren't able to do that Gonzalez said. ECU finished with penalties for 75 yards. The running game had another disappointing performance, as Scott Harley ran for just five yards, while Jamie Wilson netted 18. Marcellus Harris gained a yard, but Gonzalez lost 20 yards rush- ing, bringing the total rushing effort to four yards. Harley himself is frustrated about the performance of the rushing game. "We just have to go back to the drawing board, see what we can do Harley said. "Whether it's me not running hard enough or personnel or something. We just have to go back to the tape and see where we went wrong. We just got out behinds whooped � there was nothing we could do Gonzalez feels the pressure of having to throw the ball more when the running game isn't working, but said it's something they need to get better at regardless of how the running game is doing. "It's been three weeks now and we haven't been able to run the ball effectively Gonzalez said. "It puts some pressure on the 4 ��' 4i The Pirate offense struggled gaining just four yards on the ground and 89 yards in the Coach Steve Logan patrols the sidelines and checks out what his team is doing during the game. Logan and the rest of the team will have to look at film and find out what went wrong in Saturday's 26-0 loss to South Carolina.

"Hopefully we're able to clear that up in the next couple of weeks For Gonzalez, he said this was one of the poorest offensive showings he has seen since he has been here.

"I was pleased about containing the passing game Scott said. "We did exactly what we wanted to do.

Their next match up will be on Oct. 4 at Syracuse. tatistics c rst Downs Net Yards Rushing Yards ards a rets n Conversions Fans show Pirate pride in stores � Loss hard to swallow for many STEVE LOSEY SENIOR WHITER It was hard to be in Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium on Saturday for the Pirates and their fans. From the opening kickoff to the final gun, each and every play was a struggle to gain territory in the Pirates first since 1995. There was an excessive amount of penalties Saturday. Flags were flying around the field far too often for the Pirates to keep any momen- tum toward the end zone going. It wasvery difficult for them to make significant yardage with five and ten yard penalties holding them back at just the wrong time. Problems like that kept the Pirates from getting a first down in the first quarter. Each time the Pirates got a break, bad luck set them back even more. In the second quarter, Tavares Taylor picked off the Gamecock quarterback's pass beautifully. Unfortunately, he was injured during the tackle that fol- lowed and was unable to return. The absence of Taylor hurt the Pirates in the second half. Early in the second quarter, the defensive line kept hammering at South Carolina's line. The Pirates took advantage of the mistakes the Gamecocks made, especially a col- lision in the backfield between South Carolina's quarterback and running back that allowed a sack by Morris McCleary. When South Carolina was forced to punt two downs later, Marcellus Harris was able to return the punt into South Carolina terri- tory. Unfortunately, a holding call forced the punt to be done over. The next punt was downed at the ECU 34. Other members of the Pirates were also able to contribute on Saturday. In the second quarter, Rod Coleman showed the crowd why he was out on the field. After South Carolina hiked the ball, the USC quarterback, Anthony Wright, faded back while looking for a receiver. Coleman came right at him, and as the quarterback dodged, Coleman snagged one fist on his shirt for a split second. That instant was more than enough, and the quarterback was thrown off bal- ance and fell to the ground for a loss of 10 yards. The offensive line let quarter- back Dan Gonzalez get sacked twice. The Pirates lost crucial yardage and momentum with these sacks. Sacks can also have a nega- tive effect psychologically. If a quarterback gets sacked too often, he begins looking for potential sackers instead of open receivers. The Pirates have an open date this Saturday. Head Coach Steve Logan will undoubtedly be looking for what went wrong Saturday and how to fix it. Hopefully, they will be ready for their October 4 game at Syracuse. CONFERENCE Melissa Potter STAFF WRITER Have you bought your ECU shirt yet? What about a cap? Jacket? It would appear as though many of ECU's students are wearing more and more school apparel this year than in previous years. With a stu- dent body nearing 18,000, ECU has picked up on school spirit and ran with it. As you walk into the Dowdy Student Store, one might notice the many new styles of shirts, shorts and other articles of clothing. "It's the new designs that make people want to buy them said Jake Jacobs, sales marketer for the Student Store. Many of the employees at the Student Store are students here on campus. It is their input and ideas on new trends which help to bring about changes in styles. "We want the students to be happy Jacobs said. "They want new styles, not the same old designs from last season Beginning this year, the Student Store has picked up Reebok, Starter and Logo Athletics. Adding these brands to their already popular stock has provided an increase in recent sales. This nukes it possible for the store to offer such discounts as the Football Specials. The week before any home game. Dowdy runs a 20 percent-off sale on all purple and gold apparel. This sale runs from Monday though game day. Another discount is gien Monday and Tuesday after a victory game at an away school. For every point that ECU scores, up to 30 points, which would be up to 30 percetn, the Student Store vv ill discount that much on its apparel. In comparison to last year, ECU has certainly- shown an increase in sales � not just at the Student Store, but also at the University Book Exchange. "We're able to sell more shirts at lower prices thanks to our new vendors said Sue Stamatz of UBE. Over the past four to five years, UBE ' has increased about 15 percent in their sales. After remodeling this summer, more vendors were able to share their stock of apparel with UBE, which brought in more students. "There are more fans than ever at ECU; they want to wear their school colors for their teams Stamatz said. Many of the new styles include baby T's, tank tops and caps, as vv ell as polos and jackets. The new designs have made it more interesting on campus as well. Many students comment on the purple and Last week's Conference USA results Fans are ready to wear purple and gold to show their Pirate pride.

Compared to other schools, ECU doesn't quite have the sales capacity that would make them stand out. "Carolina is a much larger school and caters both to their students as well as the general public.

The two wins both came in at home, the first against Elon College and the second against Appalachian State. The team's first CAA Conference game was this past Sunday versus the sixth ranked James Madison University. The Pirates held JMU to only two goals, making the game one of JMU's closest matches of the sea- son, but the Dukes still came out on top, 2-0. JMU's first goal came off of what ECU Head Coach Will Wiberg said was just a matter of "a poor clearing mistake The Dukes were able to score the final goal of the game with shot number two. "We were caught out of their defensive shape, leaving us vulnera- ble Wiberg said. uWe played smart and put out a good effort At the half. Senior Jay Davis had tallied six saves, as the Pirates had only two shot attempts in the first 45 minutes of play, compared to the Dukes 14. ECU shut out the Dukes in the last 34 minutes of the game, as Davis anchored the back line for the Pirates. Defense was strong for ECU by sophomore Brett Waxer and junior back Jon Smiley. Offense was led by forwards Wyatt Panos and Scott Pokorney. "JMU demonstrated today why they are ranked so high nationally Wiberg said. "We played a smart game, and Jay Davis played very well in goal for us JMU's roster is currently made up of almost all upperclassmen, many of whom were named All- Conference last year. ECU's roster is made up of only five upperclassmen, with 22 freshman and sophomore players. So far this season, JMU has scored a total of 28 goals and has given up only five to the opposition. The next game on the schedule for the Pirates will be Sept. 24 against UNC-Wilmington. Coach Wiberg expects it to be a very close, physical, and intense game. He said the fact that UNC-W knocked ECU out of the tournament last year will make this game a very heated con- test. Wiberg said their schedule is not expected to get any easier, with five of the nine teams in the CAA ranked in the top 25 in the nation. As he put it, no other sports team on campus has to go up against that type of gru- eling conference schedule. Robert Hyatt shakes and bakes past his defenders.

September 23. 1997 sporb s The East Carolinian REC SERVICES Get your frisbee golf discs ready for upcoming tourney The Department of Recreational Services will be hosting a Frisbee Golf Tournament on Wednesday, Sept. 24 and Thursday, Sept. 25 from 3 p.m. to 6 p m at the Frisbee Golf Course of of Charles Boulevard adjacent to the SoftballBaseball Complex. Registration will be conducted on-site with a valid ECU identification card and is open to all currently enrolled students, faculty, and staff. Each participant will throw one round of 18 holes, which takes approximately 20 30 minutes, to determine their final score. Men's and women s divisions are available. The individuals who record the lowest score in each division will be awarded an Intramural Sports Champion T-shirt. Recreational Services will provide 176 gram discs and scorecards for competition. There is no cost for participating in the activity. Frisbee Golf is a unique activity that combines ele- ments of two sports (Frisbee and Golf) into a r lax- ing, low stress, and enjoyable activity. While t is increasing in popularity, there are many people who are unfamiliar with how it is played due to the small number of courses available. The activity itself is verv simple and consists of throwing a flat rounded disc toward a specific "hole usually a pole with a basket and chained net suspended sev- eral feet above the ground. The object of the game is to throw the disc into each pole hole in the east amount of throws possible. Similar to golfeach hole has a tee off position and a designated "par. The desirable qualities of this activity over tradi- tional golf is that it involves no player equipment other than the frisbee disc, is extremely inexpen- sive, and the atmosphere is very low key. ECU is fortunate enough to maintain their own 18 hole course which is heavily used by students, fac- ulty, staff, and the community. On a bright and sunny day it is not unusual to see several dozen players on the course enjoying the weather and the challenge of the activity: Recreational services also has Frisbee Discs available on a check-out basis at the Customer Service desk in the Student Recreation Center for those individuals who wish to get some additional practice or simply play for recreational purposes. For further information, con- tact David Gaskins or Candice Voigt at Recreational Services at 328-6387. X-Country contimued from page 9 comments, "It was a good workout for our B Team. This was an excel- lent Invitational because it gave us a chance to show our stuff. We will run aggressively at William and Mary Due to a scoring error in the women's race, junior Kerri Hartling (Baypoint, N.Y.) was accidentally omitted from the official scoring results. Hartling led the way for the Lady Pirates finishing 17th in 19:00. Sophomore Robin Bates (Winslow, Maine) finished 24th 19:24. Senior Karen Reinhard (Burke, fc.) placed 33rd, while freshman Becky Testa (McDonald, Ohio) and Fran Lattie (Lumberton, N.C.) finished 45th and 51st respectively. "It was a hilly course said ECU women's head coach Charles "Choo" Justice. "This week our effort was much better our No. 4, No. 5, and No. 6 runners need better perfor- mances.
