I THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 25.1997 EAST CAROLINA UNIVERSITY GREENVIUE, NORTH CAROUNA Incomplete campaign filings make for light ballot mJian �J but also the fact that candidates did not follow InnrH�fnrrhmi�i.�r. .�� �j Candidates neglecting expense reports forced to add names to ballot AMANDA AUSTIN ASSISTANT NKWS KOI Till Students who voted Wednesday for the candi- dates running for the Student Government Association (SGA) Legislature should have made a startling discovery: only three candi- dates s names appeared on the ballot. This figure is much lower than the amount of students needed to fill positions. There are 11 class officer positions to fill, 37 day rep posi- tions and two hall reps for every residence hall housing over 350 students and one for every residence hall housing under 350 students. The fact there are only three candidates is not only due to a low turnout for the positions, but also the fact that candidates did not follow the rules and meet three requirements. "According to the constitution you have to do three things, you have to file (for the posi- tion), then they have to attend a mandatory meeting, then they have to file an expense report said Scott Forbes, SGA president. Expense reports must be filed and turned in whether a candidate has spent any money on their campaign. Out of all the students running for legisla- ture a total of three students turned in their expense reports. "At the meeting it was announced to turn in expense reports. Only three day reps did, that is why there are only three on the ballot said Forbes. "People just did not understand. Everyone did their job except for the candi- dates Now that this problem has been estab- lished in this year's election, there must be a resolution to prevent it from happening again in future elections. "The biggest improvement is going to have to come from the student population said Forbes. In order for there to be a better turn out for future elections students are going to have to become more involved. "I wish all the people (from various organi- zations) who were complaining last year would stop talking and start acting said Forbes. "Active participation is what we need The legislative branch of SGA is a very sig- nificant pan of SGA. "The legislative branch is the largest and supposed to be the most diverse branch of the SGA. It is their job to represent the needs of all students. The problem is the students are not coming forward, the problem is they won't make a difference said Forbes. Those students who applied for candidacy and did not turn in their expense reports were still able to run for a position as a write-in can- didate, which many of these students have chosen to do. Many of the students who showed up to vote for write-in candidates were turned away because those running the polls did not know how to do so. This problem was solved approximately an hour and a half into the elections. "I wish poll workers had been a little more educated about write-in candidates from the beginning said Forbes. As a result of having so few candidates run- ning for legislature, SGA must concern itself with the quality of students they receive. "My personal goal was to have more stu- dents running than there are positions, by virtue of competition the legislature would have the better candidates Forbes added.

KKI.I.l M NEWS Kill I'OI Federal financial aid is up for reevaluation this year and may possibly be adjusted in favor of the students. "The House has recommended one set of numbers (for financial aid), the Senate has recommended another set of numbers said Emmett Floyd, assistant to the chancellor for constituent relations. The House of Representatives' recom- mendations for the financial aid bill are more favorable to students than are the Senate's recommendations. "The House of Representatives in US Congress raises (the Pell Grant) to $3,000 Floyd said. The maximum Pell Grant a student was previously eligible to receive was $2,700. The House is recommending that the maxi- mum be raised to $3,000. The House also recommends raising the income threshold. The income threshold determines the cut-off point at which a stu- dent's income makes them ineligible for aid. "The House version has a higher income threshold, and we have supported that Floyd said. Raising the threshold would probably have the effect of making more middle-class students eligible, although not necessarily for the maximum. "More people may qualify for Pell Grants, but they may not qualify for the maximum said Karen Barbie, associate director of financial aid. Although there is no guarantee that the financial aid portion of the bill will be SEE AID.

Jim Copeland, president of of the Medical Foundation of North Carolina, Incorporated, said that since the indictment was made, he has reviewed the procedures and runnings at UN'C. "I did, after reading the articles, sit down and rethink things at our foundation to determine if any areas were at risk for misus- es Copeland said. "I think whenever something like this happens all nonprofits (organizations) take stock in operations and control in use of funds Copeland said. One of the concerns for Copeland was the handling of gifts received. After reviewing the procedures there, he feels their proce- dures are solid. Copeland said that at UNC's medical foundation, funds are kept separate from medical school funds. Also, two signatures are required for any payment to be made and original receipts are required for reimburse- ments. "We write no checks ourselves. We sub- mit a check request and the university sends out the check with the money coming from medical foundation funds Copeland said. The foundation at UNC also uses outside audits to regulate expenses and operations there. No individual there has the power to make investment decisions. This is one area which was a problem for the medical founda- tion at ECU. Another problem at ECU which UNC wants to avoid is multiple SEE MEDICAL PAGE 2 THURSDAY Steve McLawhorn is busy, but he hopes voters will make him busier after the Nov. 4 city council election. McLawhorn, a 25-year-old physics major who will graduate in May, is seeking the District 3 seat on the City Council. He faces a race against Inez Fridley, an ECU employee who has served on the council for 12 years. McLawhorn said a student ran against his opponent last time and lost by only 38 votes. "That kind of response from the college students would be a sign that some things need to be down or at least looked in to and she has never made any effort to do that McLawhorn became interested in running for city council when there were problems with rental property near his home that was being neglected. Because the property was really not maintained, McLawhorn said, it was eventually condemned. McLawhorn, a full-time student, says that balancing school and the city council (if elect- ed) will be tough but possible. "Essentially the way my courses are going to run, from here on out, because most of my courses are mathematical I will not have to take more than three classes each semester. So that leaves me with a lot more time McLawhorn said he wants to be the stu- dents' representative on the council and some of his top causes � the occupancy law, crimes against students and Greenville's parking sit- uation � are of con- cern to the students at ECU. Greenville's occupancy law � created by Fridley, McLawhorn said � allows for only three unrelated people to share a dwelling. "What it (the law) does, essentially, is it makes it financially impossible for students to rent some of the larger nicer houses around campus McLawhorn said. "Most of the homes around there (campus) are for rent and if you can have only two other roommates, they're not going to be able to come up with the money to pay for a four-bed- room home Crime is another target of McLawhorn's platform� especially unresolved crimes against students. "Unfortunately the percentage of unre- solved crimes against college students is way too high as far as the petty larcenies and things like that. I would really like to see a little bit of a push from the city council to straighten that out and get a little more attention paid to it he said. "Eventually I would like to see some sort of Community Watch program set up. It's a little difficult because since stu- dents are so transient, they don't really get to know their neighbors very well. If we could get it set up it would be of enormous benefit Also a concern for McLawhorn is Greenville's parking situation, especially areas in which parking is not allowed 1-6 a.m. "While they (ciry council) may have a good reason to get those cars out of there, I can't find one. All it does is encourage people to drive home drunk McLawhorn feels his down-to-earth per- sonality and his good sense of right from wrong will prepare him for the position on the city council if he is elected.

Dr. Randolph Chitwood, chair of the department of surgery, and chief of cardiothoracic surgery is being rec- ognized for inventing and perfecting techniques for min- inalry-invasive mitral valve surgery. Chitwood will be fea- tured in the October issue of Southern Living as one of "America's 100 Best Doctor's He will also be featured in Tern and Country's "Guide to the Best Doctors in America Dr. James A. Haliock, dean of the School of Medkinc, believes that Chitwood is deserving of all the recognition he is receiving. "Dr. Chirwood is a pioneer in his field. He has revo- lutionalized and leads the way in this new surgery. Dr. Chitwood is an international leader in this field said Oc3n Hail lock. Chitwood has a family history in the medical field. Both his father and his grandfather were doctors before him. Much of what he knows was learned from watching their bedside manner. Chitwood's father used to tell him he had to make house calls with him after school. Chitwood remembers opening the gate to the farm while his father went in so that the cows would not get out of the yard. "Then making house calls was a nuisance, but now it has led to fond memories and a romantic story. It was also the beginning of my interest in medicine said Chitwood. After attending medical school at the University of Virginia, Chitwood entered into a ten-year academic surgery residency at Duke University. Chitwood has been at Pitt Memorial since 1984, and started the heart surgerv program. "I feel like I make a difference at Pitt Memorial Hospital. We have formed a team approach to build new programs to introduce the new technologies. We want to become a nationally known center. A goal of a school is to gain prestige. I can see our acomplishments being fin- ished here. You can go outside and feel the building said Chitwood.

A new program called America Readers is looking for tutors. "(This isj the federal govern- ment's initiative to place tutors in ele- mentary classrooms said Rose Mary Stelma, director of Student Financial Aid. The goal of America Reads is a simple one: "Every American child should be able to read on his or her own by the end of third grade said President Clinton in his radio address to the nation. The federal Work Study Program encourages education majors who qualify for the appropriate financial aid to fill in these tutoring pesrions. Students majoring in other concentra- tions are also welcomes Sharon Roberts, assistant director of Student Financial Aid, went to 14 elementary schools in the Pitt County area to meet with the principals. The result was a request for 159 tutors. At feast forty percent of all chil- dren are now reading below the accepted level on national reading assessments. The government plans to increase spending for national ser- vice by $200 million a year for the next five years above current funding levels. This will begin in the fiscal year 1998. "We (Student Financial Aid) have sent letters out to education majors concerning America Reads Stelma said. President Clinton hopes that at least half of the increase in Federal Wwk Study funds will be used for community service, and especially for tutoring America's children in read- ing. Studies show that children who are qot able to read efficiently by the end of third grade are less likely to succeed in school and are more apt to dropout. Training will be provided to all tutors. The student tutor should work in coordination with the child's pri- mary reading teachei: For those who are interested, get- ting involved in the America Reads Challenge requires stopping by the Financial Aid Office which is located in the Old Cafeteria Complex Also, one can call 1-800-USA-LEARN for more information. , - 1 S31ftSU- Many students who patronize ECU'S computer labs, such as these in Austin, feel that the lab assistants need to be better trained to answer questions about the new Exchange system. PHOTO BY JOCEIVN FRIEDMAN Many feel extra lab assistant training, extra computers needed JOM Si RKTTK STU'I' WHITKR Some students have had discouraging experiences at the computer labs on campus recently. Many complaints seem to be centered around receiving inadequate instruction from lab assis- tants. Although complaints from the student body arc frequent, the lab assistants seem to disagree. "We are all doing our best said Steve Radabiugh, an assistant at the Aycock computer lab. In order to become a computer lab assistant you must submit an applica- tion and attend a one day, eight hour training session. Some students feel that the training of these individuals is not up to par. " I have gone to the computer lab numerous times and have found that either what 1 need is unavailable, not in working order, or my questions go unanswered by the assistants on staff said Megan McLaughlin, a freshman in elementary education. The e-mail systems in the labs sometimes go off-line. "The first day of class was the day this new system was opened for stu- dent use. This v�r'� ww� is brand new, so it has been a learning experi- ence for us all said Radabaugh. Many students at ECU see prob- lems in the service provided by the on campus labs, but not all of them spur from the alleged lack of computer knowledge retained by the lab assis- tants. "The number of computers is inadequate when compared to the increasing need of the students said Joe Marconyak, a freshman biology major. There are plans in the near future to build a new computer lab in White Hall, located on West campus. This will help to provide students with more widespread access to comput- ers. Not all students agree with the complaints of their fellow students. "Some times it can be crowded and that's a problem, but the assis- tants have always been more than willing to attend to my needs said sophomore nursing major Tonya Dean.

(AP) � When the Squirrel Nut Zippers did a hometown concert here last week, drummer Chris Phillips said the band wanted to "give something back to the community" As it turns out, the two-hour concert iso fulfilled Phillips' 24-hour community service obligation for a charge of dit- whiie impaired. hillips and Carrboro's mayor, Mike Nebon, said Tuesday that the concert was planned for months before anyone knew it would provide a convenient way for Phillips to complete his sentence. Phillips is the band member who approached Nelson about doing the shov. The band had achieved national acclaim with its most recent CD, "Hot and the members said they wanted to do something for the town where they began. Phillips said the band usually would command $25,000 or more for such a concert. Phillips was charged with driving while impaired May 18 after a Chapel Hill police officer saw Zippers producer Michael Napolitano mooning through a car window about 4 a.m. Stenographer agrees to turn over trial tapes DURHAM (AP) � The court stenographer who had been refusing to provide a transcript of a murder trial said she will turn over her tapes to the court. Patty McMann-Byrd said Tuesday that she will to obey a judge's order to hand over her notes and tat es of one of Durham's longest murder trials. McMann-Byrd was contracted to produce the transcript in the murder trial of Todd Boggess, who was sentenced to death earlier this year for the 1995 killing of Danny Pence. Boggess stole the Wilmington youth's car and beat him to death on a Durham County back road. McMann-Byrd had said she would defy a court order to complete the trial transcript by Jan. 3 unless the court sys- tem paid her what she says the work is worth � $58,000. The state fee was $28,500. Last Friday, Superior Court Judge Oriando Hudson issued an order directing her to turn over the tapes for copying. UNC Board of Governors won't vote on bible colleges CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) �The policyooard that oversees the University of North Carolina system says it no longer wants to vote on exempting bible colleges from state licensing rules. Members of the Board of Governors and the former UNC system president have said their votes imply that the board approves the schools' programs. Some board members say the law should be changed. "It implies that the University of North Carolina board approves said former system president CD. Spangler Jr. dur- ing a discussion at a June board meeting. The board voted in September to eliminate the exemption chore, which is required by law, to its staff. . . But one bible college administrator, Tamra Wood of Vintage Bible College in Winston-Salem, said it s clearly under- stood that the exemption isn't an approval of the college's curriculum quality CHICAGO (AP) � Some women with a severe form of premenstrual syndrome that cripples them emo- tionally can be helped by the anti- depressant Zoloft, a new study showed. The drug's maker, Pfizer Inc funded the study of 200 sufferers at a dozen medical centers nationwide. About 62 percent of the women given Zoloft showed "much or very much improvement" compared with 34 percent of women given a placebo, the researchers reported in today's issue of The Journal of the American Medical Association. Previous research has found other antidepressants � Anafranil, Prozac and Paxil � effective in crime treating severe menstrual symp- toms, the researchers noted. The Zoloft group improved in psychological and social functioning in a way similar to patients with major depression, the researchers said. Premenstrual complaints are common among women of child- bearing age, ranging from breast tenderness and bloating to anxiety and mood swings, but the most severe symptoms afflict only 3 per- cent to 5 percent of menstruating women, researchers said. The severe form of PMS can sig- nificantly impair the ability to work and to relate to others, with symp- toms that may include poor concen- tration, depression and anger. Federal regulators last year warned Pfizer against promoting the drug for uses that had not passed federal review and been approved by the Food and Drug Administration, including treat- ment of PMS. But doctors are not barred from prescribing a drug that has been approved for one purpose for another purpose. A call to the FDA for comment Tuesday was not returned. An editorial accompanying the study said that, besides contributing to knowledge about effective treat- ments for premenstrual dysphoric disorder, or severe PMS, the research may help scientists find its Medical coniinupd from page 1 billings of expenses. "We don't bill any expenses to anything other than the medical foundation Copeland said. According to Chancellor Richard Eakin, the changes which have been made at ECU were based on ideas made bv other ECU officials rather than by drawing from practices of other medical foundations. "We benefited greatly from the knowledge of Terry Carter, who has been involved with a number of foundations Eakin said. "We also relied on the expertise of Jim Lanier Caner is the vice president and executive director of the Medical Foundation and Lanier is the vice chancellor for institutional advancement. Other key people in deciding which changes should be made were Brenda Mills, internal auditor, and State Auditor Ralph Campbell. "We worked very closely with the state auditor throughout the entire investigation and the state auditor was extremely helpful to us Eakin said. According to Eakin, the state auditor made several recommenda- tions for new procedures at the medical foundation which have been implemented.

A compromise defense appropriations bill is expected be brought to the House and Senate on Thursday. That bill will include funding for 28 Sikorsky Black Hawk and two Seahawk helicopters, members of the state's Congressional delegation said Monday. President Clinton's 1998 budget had included funding for only 18 Black Hawk helicopters, which threatened to force up to 1,000 layoffs at Sikorsky's plant. Rep.

Huge World War II bomb found in Russian City MOSCOW (AP) A man preparing to build a new house for himself unearthed a 550-pound aerial bomb from World War II on Monday in the central Russian city of Voronezh. Bomb experts had to blow up the explosive on site because its detonator was rusted almost ail the way through and it could not be moved, said Alexander Svistovtsev, an Emergency Situations Ministry official in Voronezh. The ITAR-Tass news agency said the bomb, buried 8 feet underground, was the largest of seven Wbrld War II aer- ial bombs found and deactivated in Russia this year. Voronezh is about 300 miles south of Moscow. NASA astronaut to possibly go on dangerous mission CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.

President Clinton was expected to support whatever decision NASA makes. The space agency has never waited so close to a launch to make such a major announcement regarding an astro- naut and his flight. Wolf seemed unfazed by the rumors and speculation. He joked with his crewmates and gave a thumbs-up during a gathering of friends and family at the launch pad. "See you in four to five months he said. Journalists address ethics ARLINGTON, Va.

"I would think that with the Oct.l budget deadline, there will probably be action on it this week or next Floyd said. Floyd has written letters to the North Carolina senators on behalf of the Chancellor and the Board of Trustees, asking them to support the House of Representatives' more favorable recommendations. "We're trying to get our Senators. Helms and Faircloth, to support the House version of their budget Floyd said. "We asked our senators to support the House version, because it's better for our students Surgeon continued from page 2 his surgical tools. This new surgery is conducted with video cameras and is outside of the body. These new tools allow surgeons to make a small incision on the side of the chest instead of opening up the whole chest bone, as open heart surgery would need. The surgery allows for people to have an in hospital stay of only three days, compared to seven. The minimal- ly-invasive surgery also decreases the risk of infection, since the opening of the body would be con- siderably smaller. "Many surgeons are calling me to learn about these new tech- niques Chitwood said. "I will be traveling to Vienna to teach some of these techniques. "Right now the main thing I am doing is teaching and adminis- trating, but the most gratifying part of my job is working with my patients he added. "I also enjoy teaching and working with the res- idents of the Hospital Chitwood formed the ideas for new tools because there was a basic need. "One day, I was sitting around and just started doodling. If you have an idea for something, there is always someone that can create a prototype. If there is a need, there is an idea, and a person that can put it into reality said Chitwood. It has been two years since Chitwood has revolutionized the minimally-invasive heart surgery. Currently there have been 1,200 open heart surgeries at the hospi- tal, 100 minimally invasive coro- nary, and 45 minimally invasive valve surgeries. "I am not letting all this go to my head. We earn our wings every day. It is not what you are in life, it is what you do and what you do with your life. People say you are a great guy, is that the worst thing that you could believe?" said Chitwood. "Dr. Chitwood is finally seing the fruits of his labor. He deserves the recognition. He will be able to serve his parients better through his new developed techniques said Dean Hallock. In the end, Dr. Chitwood seems very modest about his surgery. "Much help has come from my friends and family, institutions and early successes. We obtain our goals by standing on the shoulders of giants said Chitwood.

Do they think they can play king of the mountain in the surrounding Greenville community as well as here on campus? When it was announced earlier this month that ECU was seeking an injunction against down- town music store Skuliy's to force them to stop using their skull and crossbones logo with ECU's purple and gold colors, many students were confused, to say the least. Businesses and organi- zations all over town use purple and gold or various pirate or sea motifs in their decorating and advertising. This is a college town, after all. What is so different about Skuliy's using these same devices? ECU's official position is that it is Skuliy's combination of school colors, along with the skull and crossbones, that they are seeking to put a stop to. They also point out the skull and cross- bones symbol is one used by ECU in the past as an official symbol, adding to their proof that Skuliy's is trying to represent itself as affiliated with ECU and, in so doing, hop on the market- ing bandwagon (although, of course, they don't admit to money being the primary motivation for their actions). To that reasoning we give the following responses: first of all, no one should be able to copy- right colors. Secondly, the skull and crossbones logo is such an often-used, generic symbol we don't believe ECU has the right to lay claim to that either, and they can hardly expect that no one else in town is ever going to use it again. As for the school's assertion that "we were using it first what are they, a bunch of preschoolers in the sandbox? Even if they were playing with it first, they aren't anymore. Pee Dee the Pirate is now the university's official, recognized mas- cot and symbol, and ECU needs to give up the ghost on the skull and crossbones logo. Another, perhaps even more absurd development followed in the week after ECU's official suit against the Skuliy's store. Pirate Underground, a part of ECU's Student Union, began using a logo they had developed, a kind of school seal with a skull in the middle. They were told bv ECU's powers-that-be they would have to discontinue use of the symbol. Our first reaction to that was, why? They're not hurting anything. They're not trying to make money off the logo. ECU's official reason was that the seal said "East Carolina University" on the perimeter of the seal, which was an obvious attempt to identify themselves with the University. Well, duh, they're an University organization�who else are they supposed to affiliate themselves with? They also said that they did not believe the skull symbol was an appropriate way for the University to be represented. Apparently they're concerned that someone will take offense. Get over it, ECU. That symbol has been used as a warning of poison, it has been used as a pirate's flag, as a symbol of death, which we admit are all negative associations. But the symbol has become so commonplace, so trite, that it really doesn't have those connotations anymore. And, finally the money issue. Skuliy's has made a lot of money from their stickers and other paraphenalia which show their skull and crossbones logo. Could it be that ECU is miffed that they didn't think of marketing that symbol themselves? Could it be they are disappointed in the marketability of Pee Dee the Pirate, and that is why there have been reports of new trademarks being developed? Whatever their official explanations for their actions in this situation, the majority of students don't seem to get it. We at The East Carolinian agree. The University is being petty and selfish in its claim that there aren't enough purple and gold colors or skull and crossbones symbols to go around. And they may want to consider if they strike out at the businesses of this town, they may regret it. Because while it is true this is a college town, and the businesses here make a lot of profit from the business that ECU brings to Greenville, it is also true that those same busi- nesses contribute to this school and its students. It's a partnership of sorts between the school and the community in this town, and we don't understand why ECU is trying to spoil it just so they can have it all. OPINION Mary WEBB Columnist Opinion column writing not easy k SUBPOOM F�OM TUEl'a settle our or COUZT If UE Write OAV. fjAMES, LETTER to the Editor Skuliy's lawsuit unjustified Recently an article appeared in your paper concerning the business located in downtown Greenville called Skuliy's. I want to add a few thoughts to your article and perhaps raise a few questions with the students and staff at ECU. The primary question I would like to know is, is there a better way for ECU funds and resources to be spent? Do the students of ECU support this kind of action against a local business that has provided valuable and desired services to the community for many years? It is, after all, your interest as stu- dents that they (the ECU legal department and the North Carolina Board of Governors are claiming to protect. I say claiming because I, for one, take issue against any large cor- poration that tries to squash other businesses through insurmountable legal action. It appears to many of us in the community that ECU thinks that when Skuliy's is faced with a bot- tomless pit of legal action they will have to discontinue doing business. The owners of Skuliy's are named Tom and Rebecca. They are a married couple who have run a business in downtown Greenville for 17 years. They arc, for lack of a better term, good people. They not only presently hire ECU students, they have done so for all those years mentioned before- hand. Of course the issue here is not whether Tom and Rebecca are nice, the issue is what, if anything, can be done to bring this action by the unac- countable powers at ECU to an imme- diate halt? Fat chance, but here goes some thoughts. If you think that ECU should not be taking this action, then it is your responsibility to take action and make some phone calls. Please call the Chancellor and Ben Irons at 328-6940 and tell them that you are a student and you don't want your money spent this way. Paul Edwards President, Sunshine Management Group LETTER to the Editor Space craft dangerous to mankind The Russian Mars space probe crashed to earth carrying plutonium batteries. Initially, it was said to have fallen into the Pacific Ocean. Later, it was revealed to have scattered debris over the Atacama desert in Chile and Bolivia. Now, in October there is the scheduled Cassini probe will orbit Venus twice and come hurtling back at Earth to get the gravitational boost to get to Saturn. What if something goes wrong and it vaporizes in the earth's atmosphere? What if the Titan rocket carrying the Cassini probe explodes on the launch pad spreading radioactive dust over much of Florida? Plutonium is one of the most dan- gerous substances known. Dr. Helen Caldicott, founder of Physicians for Social Responsibility, has stated that one pound of plutonium if evenly dis- tributed among the Earth's popula- tion would be enough to give every- one lung cancer. None of this is considered serious enough by our free, independent, objective and piercingly investigative media to make the evening news. They would rather talk about Tiger or some other celebrity. I fear that this may be just the prelude to nuclear weapons in space and nuclear-pow- ered rockets. Some very rich and pow- erful men arc playing Russian roulette with life on Earth and it is occurring in absolute media silence. What an Orwellian world it is becoming! Gary Sudborough Bellflower, Calf. LETTER to the Editor SRC patron right to religious music TEC has other regular opinion colutnnistswe have covered various topics like parking problems, ordinance regulations wedding dilem- mas Taken together, these columns paint a somewhat accurate picture of the columnists themselves. If you are strongly opinionated, love talking about anything and every- thing and have lots of spare time, then you too can be an opinion columnist! Well, this may come as a surprise to some (especially my friends) but there really is a bit more to the pic- ture. Let me try and explain. Media expert and author, Dough Newsom, says that writing a column is the "ultimate in journalistic free- dom It lets the writer indulge in creative expression and personal opinion that would not be appropri- ate in any other kind of story. Rules can be broken and more often than not, they are. Opinion columnists talk about themselves and others; they pass judgment and fre- quently ask readers for their com- ments and recommendations. As Newsom says, "Columnists violate most the accepted tenets of news writing TEC has other regular opinion columnists besides myself. During the last three semesters, we have cov- ered various topics like parking prob- lems, ordinance regulations, students fees, wedding dilemmas, drug testing and xenophobia. As you can see, topics range from the obscure and philosophical to sub- ject-specific. And let's not leave out the humorous as well as whimsical pieces. Taken together, these columns paint a somewhat accurate picture of the columnists themselves. To be honest, it's not easy finding a subject to write about every week, let alone one that will interest a read- er. I usually take several informal polls of my classmates which is very helpful. Their input, opinions and experiences are important as are the two to three hours of research and interviews I do for every column. Of course, each columnist has hisher own method and personal style. Because of the sheer generality and personal nature of opinion columns, libel laws and factuality do not figure very prominently. It's very seldom that a column is not run. The worst case scenario is if you have an editor who is overly sensitive or just plain afraid of going against the status quo. A few editors don't fully under- stand the role of opinion columnists and are basically offended by the lati- tude offered them. Sometimes, the column is not printed if it contains a racist attitude or language or if the tone of the column is mean-spirited and the view is skewered. Either way, you are most likely to step on some one's toes, bring a smile to another's face, cause anger or even elicit a response of "I can relate to that TEC's opinion columns were recently discussed in one of my class- es. The reviews were mixed�as expected. Our pieces were described as boring, okay, funny, really interest- ing, informative and cynical. Some were also said to be "totally sappy, too personal and repetitive Well, we try. The fact that stu- dents are actually reading our columns is wonderful. And that, in my opinion, is the best part of all. I would like to respond to the opinion of Laura H. Boyd in the Tuesday, Sept. 23 issue of TEC. I also work out frequently at the Student Recreation Center during the mornings. I am also a taxpayer and a portion of my tuition helped to fund the SRC and the salaries of the employees, and I am also a saint of God. I have heard on one occasion a contemporary Christian song. You felt that you had to suffer through this preaching while you and your spouse worked out. Imagine how others feel as we work out in the facilities that we helped to fund. Where arc my rights to receive the benefits of my hard-earned money from the SRC? Vfe have to suffer through the various secular music artists who arc sending all kinds of messages while we try to enjoy our work out. Since you have brought it up, let us sit down and reason togeth- er. The song I heard did not favor one religious faith over the other, it told a testimony of how good God is and has been to the artist. God is a universal God and if you are serving anything else, then you are serving an idol. I want more Christian music to be play- ing in the SRC so that I can enjoy my work out as you want to enjoy yours. To whom it may concern at the SRC, we, the saints of God, are part of ECU's srudent body. We have to endure more than our share of the sec- ular spirits on the campus every day, so do not take the little things that we have on this campus outside of the organized groups. "Give in the name of a prophet and receive a prophet reward (Matthew 10:41). You do not know how you may bless, encour- age or inspire someone who may toe down or need a little boost to get tjieir day started right. To all the other saints, Christians and organizational leaders, let us take a stand before it is too late. If we let them take the small things that we have gained, how long will it be before they come after the bigthings? Look out, ECU gospel choir, New Generation and all other university Christian fellowships of any denomi- nations or non-denominations that are designed to be a positive light to this campus may soon be next on the chopping block. Gregory Monroe Senior Elem. Ed. LETTER to the Editor Student petitions campus parking In the last week, many of you have heard my name andor have seen me on the news. My name is David Merrill. I am the person who has come to many of your doors, asking for your signatures on a petition that started Friday, Sept. 12. The first results were not visible until I appeared on the news this past Friday night. Although I did start the petition, it was not entirely my idea. Jon Tinnirello sug- gested the idea jokingly and we decid- ed together to take this petition around to be signed. He accompanied me to every door. This will be the first time his name has appeared in the media. If you park on campus, you pur- chased a $96 parking permit. You also know how hard it is to find a parking space if you are a resident, let alone if you are a freshman. You know that it is not safe to walk alone on campus at 3 a.m. after getting off work. Now I ask you, the student, where did your money go? There is poor lighting, dis- tant parking lots and buses that stop running at midnight (I have been told). Have you ever seen a police offi- cer standing guard in an unsafe park- ing lot at 3 in the morning with the intent to protect your from that lurk- ing assailant hiding behind a full-sized truck or van? Have you ever noticed how quicklv the commuter lot at the bottom of College Hill floods after a heavy rain? How about the ever-pre- sent 520,000 luxury cars circling the parking lots only giving parking tick- ets so you, the consumer, can pay more money to Parking Services? Now I ask you again: where did you $96 go? At the time of publishing this letter, almost two weeks will have elapsed since the gravel parking lot behind the library was closed and there has been no improvement or construction done to the lot. Have any of you seen a blueprint of this rumored parking deck? I doubt it will ever come during our stay at the university. I have news for vou: The rich (the University and Parking Services) keep getting richer and the poor (students) keep getting poorct I might suggest that you do one or more of the following: sign a petition; attend vour hall counsel meetings, contact the SGA; go straight to the man. Call Dr. George Harrcll at 328- 6858. Rest assured you will never reach him. His secretary has hung up on me manv a time. As a joke, you can always call I960. This is a real number. They are offering to pay YOU $5.15 an hour to work for Parking Services and issue parking citations. The only catch is that you must have experience. David Merrill Pre-medBiology �Tfc" �.

At the time l did- n't know who she was, in fact I only knew she was an artist by her artist pass. By the end of the conference though, I knew she was Abra Moore and knew that she seemed one of the most carefree people I had ever seen. This attitude carried over into her ecletic live set on the second stage, where she interacted with the crowd and immediately won people over with her disarming grin. As it turns out Moore is no inno- cent little girl standing on stage try- ing to make friends. After being born in California, Moore moved to New York and, eventually, to Europe. After playing clubs along England's coast, Moore ended up at the University of Hawaii. There she found herself in the band Poi Dog Pondering, but she left just before they signed a record deal with Columbia. After moving to Austin, Texas, Moore ended up releasing an inde- pendent CD produced by Iconard Cohen's former guitarist, Mitch Watkins. Finally getting signed to a major label herself, Moore and Watkins went back into the studio and came on with the alternative- popful album. Strangest Places. The CD starts off with rhc first single, "Four Lcai Clovei 'I lover" has a pop lcat that buries itself ill your head so that you'll find yourself singing it weeks later. The lyrics, however, are a lot deeper than most pop songs with lines like, "You see SEE ARBRA.

Ever since her first solo album Debut, Icelander Bjork has been push- ing the envelope of modern pop music with a force unrivaled since David Bowie in the 70s. Allying her- self with pop sculptors like Nelle Hooper (U2, Madonna) and avant- garde trip-hop artists like Tricky. Bjork has in the past produced highly original and ground breaking music. She is, for example, the only musician to date to have released � remix album (Telegram) filled with songs remixed toward more artistic ends racher than a bunch of stale dance remixes. On Homogenic, Bjork is at her best ever. Building on the momentum of 1995's Post, she has written an album that reflects the touch of a master craftswoman. rather than a rebellious explosive experimentalist. Not to say- that she isn't still pushing those boundaries. Nearly every song stretches on the combination of clas- sical music and techno-pop. Like a hybrid of Wagnerian opera and a video game soundtrack, the passionate love- songs burst static flowers of jarring but somehow very real images. Trapped in some deep violet underworld, Bjork seems to li.iv�. wrestled these disturbing ballads from a sticky, scan, place inside her heart, where love is not just a sweet cotton candy feeling, but a matter of blood, philosophy and rebirth. Not that the songs are disturbing to listen to. Quite the contrary, they are achingly beautiful. "Hunter" is a sharp manifesto SEE BJORK. PAGE 8 AM)V Tl RXER LIFEST1 I.I.

Mendenhall is hosting a Gen-Xtra weekend with three films that will appeal to each and every one of us because we are all exactly the same. We are as indistinguishable as a band of beige Buicks. We a Generation . I got you. I was just illustrating Gen X characteristic number one: be as cynical and overly paranoid as possible. Really, there's a decent lineup of movies coming to Hendrix Theatre that all the cool cats have found to be super-keen-peachy-swell (you have to forgive me I'm still trying to get the Gen-hipster lingo down). Kevin Smith's Clerks and Mallrats, along with Empire Records are the three pics chosen to represent what (Jen X cinema is all about. Of the three. Clerks received the best critical reaction and was the biggest box office success. It tells the story of Dante Hicks (Brian VI lolloran), a guy who has the misfortune of working at a convenience store on his day off. His friend Randal (Jeff Anderson) works at the video store next door and specializes in being public-smart-ass number-one. Dante, meanwhile, is having trouble with his girlfriend partly due to her fondness for fellatio, but mainly because his ex is getting married. Crudeness. zaniness and Silent Bob and Jay follow, and you the viewer are left without an ass, because vou have proceeded to laugh it off during the course of the film. Mallrats was Smith's second effort. It was met with critical panning and with Shannon Doherty's trip back to movies on the USA network starring Judd Nelson or one of the Coreys. It was pretty much exactly like Clerks except it was set in a mall and it was in color. Guy (T.S.) screw up with girl (Rene). Guy (Brodie) act crude. Guys (Silent Bob and Jay) serve no purpose but be funny. I thought Mallrats was very funny, but it was not an "unam- bitious, run-of-the-mill, student film" as the Slacker Movie Guide called Clerks. It wasn't nearly that good. I've never seen Empire Records all the way through. I just j remember lots of pretty people whining. Not necessarily from that movie, I just remember that image from somewhere. Hell, it has Liv 'Tyler, some guy named Coyote Shivers and music by Evan Dando. That's a big, stinking chalupa of Gen X goodness. Open up.

Boat House in NorfolkJust about any show that comes through there, we usually get ten to a dozen tickets to give away said Hennessy. The station has also increased the amount of live remotes and free prize giveaways, and for the first time ever they are broadcasting entire sporting events. The faculty has been included in the ZMB equation as , well. : "We have a real high faculrv listenership for the Blue Note Cafe , from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. Monday through Friday, as well as the jazz show on the weekends Hennessy said. Now Sounds is a three hour show dedicated to inde- pendent music, namely good bands that aren't signed on to big labels. The ska show plays ska dating from the roots of Motown to the present, but tends to stay away from main- stream ska such as No Doubt or the brand new Boss Tones. Crossover is Christian oriented music. But it doesn't play gospel type music, the format tends to go from rock to rap to metal reggae chat ha'e Christian influenced themes and lyrics. The- Super Funk and Soul show features funk sounds from the seventies on back and blends them into a mix with the smoother Motown sounds. The World Music Show offers eclectic sounds from across the globe, and the Farrot Head Show is strictly a Jimmy Buffet Bonanza. The RFM show features a big name DJ each week, miir. it up live with techno, rave beats, trip-hop and electronica sounds. WZMB also uITcrs news everyday on the hour, as well as comedian interviews, sports ralk and campus news talk shows every Wednesday. The future for "ZMB looks large. They hope to one day- be the billing station in all the ECL facilities that use radio, such as rransit buses, Mendenhall and the Wright Place, and perhaps even farther into the future, to be able to hold a WZMB sponsored outdoor concert.

Remember Spinal Tap How about Tie Commitments Or even Satisfaction starring the oh-so-con- vincing Justine Bateman? It's time for the genre of fiction- al rock band docudramas to include a film that is not quite so laughable. Raleigh filmmaker John Schultz just might be the sav- ing grace with his recently released film Bandwagon. Bandwagon is Raleigh native Schultz's feature debut. Schultz, who has worked on projects with Steven Speilberg, co-produced the film with fellow UNC grad Aryson Poole and put it into works with only $350,000. The film wrapped over two years ago only to be screened once in Raleigh and to make the rounds in various film festivals, waiting in limbo for a distributor. Bandwagon fellows the fictional band Circus Monkey, tracing its origins in the garage and tentative first steps into the cutthroat world of touring rock bands. All four members of Circus Monkey are stereotypes but well drawn ones. There's Kevin Corrigan as Wynn, the per- petually stoned but incredibly talented guitarist; Matthew Hennessey as Charlie, the drummer who talks incessantly and always has something "deep" to say, Steve Parlavecchjo as Eric, the bass player and tough guy who is always the first to start a fight; and Lee Holmes as Tony, the self conscious band leader who writes songs about "the girl" Circus Monkey plays fairly agreeable music compared to their local competitors Spittle, a wretched metal band played by the real life local group Tinsel. Bandwagon shows Circus Monkey start out in Charlie's mom's garage, have their first disastrous gig at a frat party and open for a well known group at the Cat's Cradle, attracting the attention of Linus Tate. Tate, played by Connells lead singer Doug MacMillan, is an under- ground legend in the music community who takes bands under his wing and leads them to a record con- tract. He signs on to be Circus Monkey's road manager and, as the mishaps accu- mulate, he sits in the back of the band's van with a Zen like calm as he reads a thick mysterious book. MacMillan plays this part like a pro and is definitely one of the most interesting aspects of Bandwagon. Providing added interest is the setting. Shot in Connells lead singer Doug MacMiliian jumped on Bandwagon. PHOTO COURTESY OF C0MNEUS HOME PAEE Raleigh and Chapel Hill in the late fall of 1994, local famil- iarities such as The Brewery, Krispy Kreme, The Cat's Cradle, the Rialto Theatre and Schoolkids Records are found in almost every scene. Bandwagon is a solid story about a group of musicians try- ing to make it, but the heart of the movie lies in the ques- tion of motivations. Why is Circus Monkey a band? Is it for fame, money, girls or is it really for the music? the girl in the pretty white picture Well it's never what it really seems The lighthearted pop sound con- tinues throughout the CD on songs like "Don't Feel Like Cryin and "All I Want The main draw of Moore's talent is her light, easy voice. She has this impish sound that glides over the music in a way that she could sing about Dr. Kevorkian and make it seem happy. For example, on the funk-blues mix that make up the title track, Moore weaves her voice around the song giving, it a style that is truly unique. Probably the best thing about Strangest Places is the fact that after radio plays a song like "Four Leaf Clover" 10 million times, it's still good. And even if you do get sick of it, there are plenty more songs to love. For example, one definite highlight is "Say It Like That A simple, sub- dued guitar progression jn the back- ground gives Moore just the right forum in which to work her magic. Another advantage for Moore is, that her album is catching on slowly. Instead of the meteoric rise experi- enced by bands like Hootie and the Blowfish, Moore's music and genre are spreading slowly as her talent fil- ters down from critics to radio. This is allowing her to experience success without being overwhelmed. Still, Moore needs to be prepared because- if her album ever gets the recognition- it deserves, there won't be anymore writers in press conferences wondet ing who she is. Pentecostal Tent Revival!

September 25, 1997 The East Carolinian Pirates hope to get on the right track AM l) Ross sI'iik I s KDITUR This week the Pirates will take a break from game dav on Saturday in preparation for Syracuse on Oct. 4 .After losing to South Carolina 26-0, the open week will allow ECU to reevaluate what went wrong in the loss and give them a chance to polish up their game before they head to the Carrier Dome. Head Coach Steve Logan feels this team has to get back into practice and work as a whole group. He compared their feat to what they experienced in spring practice. "We need to continue to have basically spring practice � just get the kids fundamentally sound and get them to where they work as a unit Logan said. The ECL" running game has been an area of con- cern, gaining just 154 yards on the grounds for three games. Last year Scott Harley averaged 158.6 yards per game. This season Harley has been hampered by a sore ankle that was sprained in the West Virginia loss. Logan said Harley will take these r r weeks to heal up his ankle and hopefully get it back to 100 per- cent before they head up to New York. The young offensive lines' performance has been significant because with just one returning starter, they are essentially learning their assign- ments as each game goes by. Logan said in Saturday's loss the offensive may have looked worse than they were because when one person performs badly, it reflects on the whole line. "Each play we would have an effort by four of them, and then one young man would break down and consequently it looked like we had a poor effort all around Logan said. But right now all Logan can do is coach their mistakes and hopefully iron out all the kinks before the start of the next game. "It's just the nature of dealing with a bunch of youngsters right now and we're going to have to grit our teeth and hold on and we'll get it eventually Logan said. sjsaf. �KfcS' !

"We played well against .Asheville said women's soccer Head Coach Neil Roberts. "We outshot them 25-12. We're starting to play bet- ter soccer Each game in the women's soccer team's win- ning streak has been won by a shot late in the game. Last Sunday, against Appalachian State, sophomore Chrisy Bernabe shot the game win- ning goal with three and a half minutes left. Forward Jennifer Bush won the game last Wednesday with a shot with two and a half min- utes left. Asheville was the first to get on the board on Sunday. They scored a goal after eight minutes of play The Bulldogs kept the Pirates from mak- ing a goal in the first half, even though the Pirates attempted ten shots, as opposed to the Bulldogs' six. ECT"s goalkeeper, Amy Horton. got three saves. At the half, the score was 1-0, Asheville's lead. Throughout most of the second half, neither team scored. The Bulldogs had an aggressive offense, but Horton's tight coverage of the goal kept them from scoring. .Asheville far outshot ECU until the last few minutes of regulation, when ECU's offense exploded. The tying shot was scored by freshman mid- fielder Erin Cann. With two minutes left, she made a beautiful shot, thanks to midfielder Stephanie Wrass' assist. The ball flew from at least twenty yards out, over the head of the div- ing Bulldog goalkeeper. It was the first goal of Cann's college career and Wrass' third assist this year. The teams went into sudden death with a score of 1-1. Both teams went back and forth without a goal on either side. The stalemate was broken after almost seven minutes when Wrass scored the winning goal. Horton finished the game with nine saves. "UNC .Asheville was a good opponent Roberts said.

Perhaps you ven- ture out to find a sand pit or a court and assemble with your afternoon cohorts for a not-so-friendly spike match of your own. Disappointed that sand and summer are fading? Then you should put on something purple and gold and catch a Lady Pirate Volleyball game. With this year's schedule, you'll be exposed to some heavy-hitters of the college volleyball circuit. The Lady Pirate team faces a tough schedule this year, including many ACC and CAA rivals. While you're at one of the home games, keep your eye on LaKeya Mason. Mason, a junior transfer from North Carolina A&T, has earned a starting position as middle hitter for the Lady Pirates. Mason started her college career at NC A&T as an industrial engi- neering major. But when transferring to ECU, some changes had to be made. "I had to start all over Mason said. "I was an industrial engineering major at A&T but ECU didn't have that as a majot here. I am now a BiologyMath major When asked about life here at ECL Mason said, "Last semester was completely different from what I experienced at A&T. I like it a lot better this semester definitely feel more at home Not only does Mason feel at home at ECU, but she also feels at home on the team as well. On Friday, the Lady Pirates will face William & Mary at home. "I think if we pull together we'll be just fine Mason said. "We have a lot of talent, and a lot of good personalities on the team. We are all out on the court to per- form as a team Mason also had her thoughts about the upcoming home game on Saturday against Virginia Commonwealth, as well as the test of the season. "I've never seen them (VCU) play before, but I expect every team that we would play from then on are on our level or above Mason said. "We will have to step up for them One team they will definitely have to step up for is George Mason University. The coach and return- ing players have said that George Mason will be a tough team to face Mason said. The first meeting is October 4th at George Mason, but you can catch this showdown at home October 31st. Mason intends to graduate this vear.

(AP) Neither Syracuse senior linebacker Antwaune fends nor university athletic officials would comment today about a spit- ting incident involving Ponds and a Tulane coach. The incident occurred right after Syracuse's 30-19 victory Saturday night at the Carrier Dome and was captured on videotape by a television news crew. "We could not or would not make a statement until we have talked to allparties involved coach Paul Pasqualoni said in a statement released by the athletic department. Ponds could not be reached for comment and the university did not make himavailable. The incident took place after the game ended with a 98-yard intercep- tion return by Syracuse's Tebucky Jones. On the play, Syracuse defen- sive back Rod Gadson was cut down from behind by Tulane's John Wilson. The play drew a penalty flag for clip- ping and resulted in a knee injury to Gadson. While most Syracuse players rushed to the end zone to congratu- late Jones, some rushed to attend Gadson, including Ponds. Pasqualoni also stormed the field to argue with game officials about the play. A shouting match broke out between the two teams and soon threatening gestures followed before the sides were separated. Ponds is shown on the videotape spitting on Tulane strength and conditioning coach Mike losia. Possible pairings for the U.S. Ryder cup team SOTOGRANDE, Spain (AP) U.S. captain Tom Kite, who has been very tight-lipped about the pairings for his team, gave his first glimpse into pos- sible teams. One tipoff was who teamed up in the money matches. Davis Love 111 and Fred Couples, a very successful pairing in both the Ryder Cup and the Presidents Cup, were in the same foursome. Love and Justin Leonard piavcd Couples and Brad Faxon. Tiger Woods and Mark O'Meara played Scott Uoch and Lee Janzen, and the third group had Tom Lehman and Phil Mickelson playing with Jim Furyk and Jeff Maggert. Kite insists he still might change his mind about some pairings. Kite also said he'll likely switch off teams for alternate-shot and better-ball. Meanwhile, Woods said his father's anger over not being allowed on the team plane has passed and that Earl Woods will be watching the Ryder Cup on TV Monty moves well clear after runner up finish VIRGINIA WATER, England (AP) Colin Montgomerie's second place finish in the British Masters on Sunday opened up a huge lead for the Scot on the European PGA Tour money list.

Campus police responding to a disturbance at a party cited freshman tailback Larry Montgomery, sopho- more cornerback Andre Smith and sophomore safety- Phillip Brown, all 19, after smelling alcohol on their breath and finding an open bottle of gin in their car. The police report said Montgomery, of Diamond Bar, Calif, also was cited for an out- standing warrant for possession of alcohol and that a fictitious license in his possession was impounded. Smith, of Mesa, and Brown, of Bakersfield, Calif are reserves; Montgomery has been sidelined following surgery for removal of a bone chip from one leg.

Ryder Cup team. None were won by European team members. Eight of the top 13 players in the world rankings are on the l.S. team. One member of the F.uropean team is ranked that high. The U.S. team has hot players in Jim Furyk, Justin Leonard and Davis Love III. It has an intimidating play- er in Tiger Woods. And it has unflappable vet- erans in Fred Couples, Mark O'Meara and Tom Lehman. Europe's high- est-ranked player, Colin Montgomerie, once again disappoint- ed in the major championships when he finished second in the U.S. Open, then played poorly in the British Open at Royal Troon. the course on which he was raised. Europe's most intimidating player, Nick Faldo, is coming off his worst year ever in the major championships. .nd Europe's squad was rattled by the removal of Miguel Angel Martin from the team, a situation just settled Tuesday when he agreed to return as a non-playing member. So how could Europe possibly keep the Ryder Cup? "In match play it doesn't really matter how strong a team it is or how weak a team it is Ian Woosnam said Tuesday. "I believe that if Seve (Ballesteros) gets his pairings right, then any team can win this Woosnam, playing in his eighth Rder Cup, is a perfect example of the beauty of team play and the unpredictable nature of match play in this competition. Woosnam has never won a singles match in the Ryder Cup � losing five and halving two. Yci he has four wins and two halves in nine alternate-shot matches and has won nine better-ball match- es and halved another, losing only once. "It's all about getting players to play together who can flow together and score well togeth- er Woosnam said. "That's the secret. I think In no other golf event do so many great play- ers hit so many bad shots. In no other golf event is the pressure as intense. And in no other golf event is as much dependent on team play as it is in the Ryder Cup. It is truly an event where the sum of the parts can be greater rhan the individual components. "I think on paper we are the underdogs, and although we are the defending champions, they look stronger than us Bernhard Langer said Tuesday. "But in match play, any- thing can happen Throw in the quirkiness of the Valderrama course � which the Europeans know much better than the Americans � and the pro- European gallery and this Ryder Cup has all the makings of an upset. There is one other factor that could help the European team squeeze out the 14 points it would need to retain the Ryder Cup on a tie or the 14 12 needed to win it out- right � Ballesteros, the F.uropean captain. If any captain could be worth the extra point that could decide the (!up. it is Ballesteros. "Seve is very emotional and very excitable. Woosnam said. "He'll be running around like a headless chick- en. 1 think. That's good, and for the young guys to see someone so excited like that just might give them a buz. as well And if that happens, the Europeans just might give the United States a surprise. If Tuesday's practice pairings were anv indication. Ballesteros will try to use his veteran players to ease his five- rookies through the pressures of Ryderup play Montgomerie, playing in his fourth competition, played with new- comer Darren Clarke. Faldo. compet- ing for a record 11th time, played with rookie Ignacio Garrido. Woosnam and Langer both also went around with rookies, the Welshman playing with Lee Wcstwood and the German paired w ith Thomas Bjorn. The two Swedes � Jesper Parnevik and Per-1 Irik Johansson � played together, despite the fact that Johanssons appearance in 1W5 is their only Ryder Cup experience. Jose Maria Olazabal and Costantino Rocca. two veterans, rounded out the F.uropean practice pairings. "The experience of the seven players, plus the new energy of the other five players makes it very posi- tive Ballesteros said. "I don't think I could have a better team There is that word again � Team. On paper, the I nited States looks much stronger. But match play and the cooperative efforts of alternate- shot and better-ball can hide a lot of weaknesses. The Americans must remember that the Ryder up is played on grass � not on paper.

September 25, 1997 SUflTlS The East Carolinian Hurricanes hand over 3-0 loss to slow-starting Red Wings GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) � After four days of practice and individual work, coach Paul Maurice expected his Carolina Hurricanes to start slow against the Detroit Red Wings. He was right on the money. Kris Draper scored 57 seconds into the game on a breakaway and Chris Osgood stopped 34 shots � including 18 in the third period � as the Red Wings beat the Hurricanes 3-0 in an exhibition game Tuesday night. "We got out of the gate slow Maurice said. "When you take four days and do some teaching we're not at game speed because you can't teach at game speed, you've to slow it down and walk through things The pace picks up a bit now for the Hurricanes, who play four games in five days, including a rematch with the Red Wings in Detroit tonight. "After 10 minutes of the first peri- od I actually was pleased with the game Maurice said. "It's a horrible thing to say when you lose that you were pleased with the game, but from what I was watching there was a lot of things in the neutral zone that is starting to get a little clearer in our player's minds Osgood's shutout was preserved when Steve Rice's power-play goal in the third period was disallowed because of a Carolina player in the crease. "Chris Osgood was outstanding said assistant coach Barry Smith, who minded the bench while veteran coach Scottv Bowman roamed the stands. "He made saves when we needed them and he kept us in the game. "I think he was the difference. They had some good heat on us and they pressured us pretty good, they were forechecking and rolling around pretty good. They just didn't get the puck by us Draper and Osgood were two of just a handful of Detroit's top players who made the trip, but the defending Stanley Cup champions (3-2-0) were still able to dominate the Hurricanes (2-2-1) with their tough forechecking. "I'm way ahead of where I'm usu- ally at at this time Osgood said. "Just the way I feel on the ice com- pared to years' past.

Anders Eriksson fed the center near the blue line and he broke in alone on Sean Burke, beating him between the legs for his first goal of the pre- season. Carolina's Steve Chiasson hit the crossbar with a shot late in the second period, but by that time "I think he was the differ- ence. They had some good heat on us and they pressured us pretty good, they were forechecking and rolling around pretty good. They just di. in't get the puck by us Coach Barry Smith it was 2-0. Darryl Laplante capital- ized on a 2-on-l break, keeping the puck despite Steve Halko's tight defense and flip- ping his first goal of the preseason over Burke's right shoulder. Tim Taylor and Jamie Pushor assisted on Laplante's goal. Geoff Sanderson also had a pair of scoring changes seconds apart early in the third period, but one of his close-in shots was deflected over the net and he partially fanned on another shot just a few feet in front ater envillv Friday, October 3rd, 19977:00pm Williams Arena at Minges Coliseum ECU Campus, Greenville, NC iAmmmmjcK with Special Guest Evangelist RANDY HOGUE Randy has preached in over 750 different churches in 43 stiles throughout North America, as well as China, Russia.

Syivain Cloutier's wrap-around goal with 13 12 minutes left closed the scoring for the Red Wings. The Red Wings didn't get out of Carolina without a pair of injuries, one of which could be serious. Thomas Holmstrom left in the first period with a foot injury, while Kirk Maltby injured his left shoulder in the third period. The team is hoping Maltby's injury isn't a separated shoulder.
