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.

through this. I never

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-

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.

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

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)

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.

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

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.

Helms sounds cooperative tone after Weld, sets
priorities for final term
RALIEGH (AP)�Sen. 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.

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

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. Kraus said there was no indication that

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.

Student Rec Center should change tune

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-

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

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.

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. God bless the internet.

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.

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-

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.

When The X-Files first invaded
American television in 1993, it
re-opened many paranoid doors
in the mainstream consciousness.
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.

For those of you who are always whin-
ing about how crappy the music scene
is in Greenville and were not at
Peasant's on Saturday, shame on you.
After a three year wait to hear one of
Raleigh's best, bands grace a
Greenville stage, 6 String Drag finally
made it to the Emerald City.
After an exhausting van ride from
Athens, Ga. Six S-ring Drag managed
to muster up the energy to play two
incredible foot stompin Fabst Blue
Ribbon swiggin' sets. On tour to pro-
mote their new release Higt Hat, this
Raleigh band (via Clcmson, S.C.) may
have roots in punk rock but their soul
is in the roots of rock and roll - blues,
country, bluegrass, Dixieland, you
name it.
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.
There was never any kind of con-
scious plan to play any particular
style recalls lead singer Kenny Roby
(formerly of the Lubricators). .
"It all just kind of grew out of the
influences we were absorbing and the
the songs we were writing. We're still
quite impressionable; we still try to
experience different kinds of musjc,
and different things rub off. We've had

so many different members and so
many different kinds of instrumenta-
tion that even when people leave
they always leave a little bit of influ-
ence behind
Maybe this is exactly the reason
that Steve Earle was so interested in
signing 6 String Drag to his new E
Squared label after seeing them per-
form at Bubbapalooza in Atlanta in
1996. 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

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.
"I guess the band's still coming
together Rohv observes. "There's
always little pieces falling into place:

Moe and the Grass. These are not
the only bands however, there are fif-
teen hands slated to perform over the
three days. The latter two are local
(Raleigh and New Bern), and both
are excellent performers.
Going to a festival includes more
than the stage, though. Be prepared
to hear lots of pickin' in the camping
area. The long standing tradition of
jammin' at your campsite is still up

never leave it to check out the stage.
To get there from Greenville, take
Highway 33 to Tarboro and continue
on Highway 33 until you reach 1-95
just past Whitakers. Proceed North
on 1-95 until exit 160 or State
Highway 561. Travel west towards
Brinkelyville and in Brinkleyville
turn right on State Highway 48. Go
approximately 12 miles and turn left
onto Airlee Road and watch for the
Bluegrass signs. Bring your lawn chair
or blanket and your camping gear.
Food and beverages are available on
site. Admission is $20 a day except
for Thursday which is $10. For more
information, call Gail Fox at 919-586-
2230.

the bluegrass fan that needs a fix can
be found in the News anil Observer
entertainment section and the
newsletters of Pinecone, Banjo in the

Butterwood or one of the other
events into your budget. As a final
note, those of you who have been

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.

KLON-FM in Los Angeles. "In terms
of being a singer, that's where he
would really shine. He was always a

"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.

The East Carolinian
Pirates suffer first home shutout since '84
AMANDA ROSS
SPORTS EDITOR
A number of records were set this past
Saturday, but none that would make a
team proud.
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

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

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.

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

gold being more prominent.
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. Here
at ECU, we focus on the students and what they
want. It's their store Jacobs said.

Men's soccer team loses first CM game of season
Paul Kaplan
STFF WRITER
The ECU Men's Soccer team is in
full swing with six games behind
them and a 2-4 record. 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. The men's soccer lost their CAA
opener to JMU on Sunday.

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.
