ECU, Skilly's reach agreement in lawsuit

ECU and Skulhs have agreed to compromise
on the issue of the skull and crossbones logo,
which ECU previously sued Skulry's for using.
"The settlement was reached on Friday.

The owners of Skulry's
had agreed that if they
used purple and gold
with their mark they
would include the name
and location of their
store so they can be

Irons III, university
attorney.
ECU's original suit
objected to the use of
the University's colors
in conjunction with the
skull and crossbones logo that is the Skulry's
logo. The University felt, according to Irons,
that the use of the colors was misleading and
could cause some to think that Skulhs is affil-
iated with the University
Tom Ives, who owns and manages Skulry's
with his wife Rebecca , said the compromise
was initiated by them.
"The proposal was one we had submitted to
them, and it's fine with us Ives said.
The University is also pleased that the con-
flict was resolved without going to court.
"Our feeling, even before the lawsuit was
filed, was that we wanted to resolve it infor-

malty Irons said.
The agreement means that Skulhs will
have to redesign some of their merchandise to
accommodate the changes. Ives said that it
will not cause a major hardship.
"A lot of the merchandise
already have the name as part of
the design. (They are) fairly
insignificant modifications Ives
said.
The University is covering its
own costs associated wth the suit,
and is also paying the Ives-
expenses up to $6,(Xt).
"It was a good faith gesture to
pay a portion of their expenses
Irons said.
Since the initial filing of the
lawsuit, sales of Skulry's merchan-
dise has increased. Ives said that
marry ECU alumni and other citi-
zens of the community have stopped in to
show their support.
"A tot of merchandise that normally would
last a month was gone in less than a week
Ives said.
Both panics seem to have resolved their
differences amicably.
"I think that it has been resolved and the
parties (can) end this chapter with mutual
respect Irons said.

resentment with the

to Irons, the University still

inappropriate way for the

"I would certainly welcome the

they want to do without identifying the

AMANDA AUSTIN
ASSISTANT SKWS EDITOR
The door to the English department office remained closed
Friday as inside staff members grieved for one of their own.
Patsy Collier, secretary for the Department of English,
passed away on Friday, Sept. 26.
Collier, 55, died as a result of a massive heart attack while
sitting at her desk during the early morning hours on Friday.
Lorraine Robinson, a professor in the English department,
discovered Collier laying on the office floor at approximately
7:15 a.m.
Robinson, unaware of Coltier's condition, attempted to
perform CPR, but Collier was apparently already deceased.
"She had probably died very shortly after coming into the
office said Robinson.
The ECU Police Department was contacted immediately
and arrived on the scene just minutes later.
According to Robinson, their response time was beyond
any expectation.
Collier was a very important asset to
the English department and will be
missed by many.
"I generally believe Patsy was the
hub of the department, was well liked.
We will discover over months what we
have lost. She will be missed at the sec-
retarial and persona! level said
Robinson.
Collier had been on an employee of
the English department for 27 years.

This past summer the new entering class was asked to corrv
plete a First Year Student Survey.
"We (Research Assessment and Testing) use the surveya
to identify services to help students with the transition
from high school to coHcgcsaid Dt Kris Smith, vice chan-
cellor with the Research Assessment and Testing depart-
ment.
The First Year Student Survey was completed by 2,749
students. Of these, 68 percent reported ECU as their first
choice; in addition, 27 percent selected ECU was their sec-
ond choice.
"Many of the questions on the surveys are patterned
after surveys that are conducted nationwide said Smith.
The questions included asked new students if ECU was
the only college they had applied to, how many they applied
to, why they came to college, and other related inquiries.
"They (the surveys) are kept to attain information of
why some students do better than others said Smith.
"The questionnaires will be kept confidential
Twenty-six percent of this year's entering class rcporeed
only applying to ECU. Twenty-three percent said they
applied to a second school; 25 percent applied to three dif-
ferent schools, and the remaining students applied to four
or more.
The most prominent reasons for coming here to ECU
were to get a better job (94 percent), obtain an education
(90 percent), make more money (85 percent), and learn
more about things that interest them (82 percent).
More women than men reported that coming to college
for graduate school was significant with a percentage of 75
over 62 percent of males.
However, more men reported coming to college to get
away from home than women did (35 percent male, 24 per-
cent female). More men also reported coming K school '
-because their friends did (17 percent male, eight percent
female).
The surveys were made up by the Student Life
Assessment Committee said Smith.
The most frequent reasons that people said for choosing
ECU was that we offered their major (86 percent), our good
academic reputation (77 percent), our good social reputa-
tion (57 percent) and our good geographic location (56 per-
cent).
Nearly one-third of the entering students reported hav-
ing a family income of over S75,0O0 per year Almost three-
fourths of new students anticipated troubles with morwy
management and balancing responsibilities. Sixty-two per-
cent applied for financial aid of some sort whether it was
loans, grants, scholarships or other types of assistance.
Forty-three percent said they would try to hold a job their
first semester here at ECU also.

Being at the right place at the right time can
sometimes mean the difference between
guilty or innocent.
Dr. John Maiolo, an ECU sociology profes-
sor, was attending the Florida Dolphins v.
Dallas Cowboys game in Florida on Oct. 27,
1996, when he became witness to a racial
crime involving a wealthy black man named
Nathaniel Mitchell. He later became the star
witness for Mitchell's defense.
"After I came home, my brother in Florida
sent me an article stating what had happened
to Nathaniel and 1 was furious. I called the
Dade County law enforcement, the DA's
office and the prosecuting attorney, but no
one would listen to me. They all wanted to
believe he was guilty Maiolo said.
After the game, Maiolo was walking to his
tar, at the same time Mitchell and his wife
were headed to their Mercedes convertible. A
group of drunken white men noticed the black
couple and approached them. They sur-
rounded the couple and began using a racial
tone. Mrs. Mitchell was pushed to the
ground. The couple managed to get in their
car to drive away.
The angry group began to beat on all parts
of the car, including ripping through the con-
vertible top to get to the couple. Mr. Mitchell
attempted to drive away, but because of the
crowd leaving the ball park, it was impossible.
The police arrived soon after.
Maiolo decided to leave when the police
arrived because he thought the situation was

USDA to inspect plant for E. coli find in Virginia
NORFOLK, Neb. (AP) �A routine federal inspection has turned up E. coh in
meat at a Virginia supermarket and records indicate the tainted beef came from
a packing plant here.
An inspector from the U.S. Department of Agriculture was expected Monday
at the BeefAmerica plant. The company is cooperating with the investigation,
said Jacque Knight, a USDA spokeswoman in Wishington.
The bacteria was found in fresh ground beef in Emporia, Va earlier this
month as pan of the USDAs random sampling program, she said.
No illnesses traced to the tainted meat have been reported, Ms. Knight said.
The Great Valu Supermarket in Emporia is conducting a voluntary recall of any
fresh ground beef sold in the store Sept. 3 or 4. No other recalls have been
implemented.
E coli can cause serious illness or even death if the meat is not cooked prop-
y. The bacteria was Warned for a recall of 25 million pounds of ground beef

College football referee listed in critical condition
� EL HILL, N.C. (AP) � A college football referee's condition worsened
to critical this morning after he suffered a massive heart attack during the
Virginia-North Carolina game over the weekend.
James Knight, 51, of Charlotte, had been downgraded to serious condition
from critical Sunday afternoon at UNC Hospitals, but hospital spokeswoman
Robin Gaitens said he was back in critical condition at 1:15 a.m. Monday.
He was taken to the hospital, which is less than five minutes away from the
Kenan Stadium, after he collapsed Saturday afternoon carry in the second quar-
ter of the game.
Knight's condition means that his vital signs may be unstable, that he may
not be conscious and that a prognosis of his survival is unfavorable, she said
Sunday before the second change in his condition.
Knight's heart stopped four times, with three of the arrests occurring on the
field. His heart was restarted with electric shocks, said Dr. Greg Meats, who
treated Knight on the stadium turf and then accompanied him to the hospital.
Knight has been an Atlantic Coast Conference official for a total of 21 years
before and after a short stint in the NFL. A Vietnam veteran, Knight works
weekdays as a mechanical supply salesman.

Antifreeze in medicine traced to Chinese company
NEW YORK (AP) � Chinese officials have reportedly refused to identify the
manufacturer of an antifreeze ingredient that tainted Haitian anti-fever medi-
cine last veir. killing at least 80 children.
The IS inters fur I Hsea i ntrol and Pre -uion sai I iir if d ilycerir
used to make Haitian brands of rhe synip had been rainred with diethvlene gtv-
col, a toxic substance used in industrial solvents and antifreeze.
At the time, CDC officials said they did not know where the tainted glycerin
came from. But "60 Minutes" reported Sunday that it was traced through
European companies to a state-owned company in China, SinoChem
International Chemicals Co.
The CBS program said SinoChem got the glycerin from another Chinese
manufacturer, then sold it abroad, certifying it as 98 percent pure.
According to the report, SinoChem and Chinese authorities have refused tor
the past 13 months to tell the U.S. Food and Drug Administration who manu-
factured the glycerin. .
Diethylene ghcol can cause kidney failure, hepatitis, pancreatitis and severe
neurological problems.
MIT suspends fraternity as freshman remains in
alcohol-induced coma
BOSTON (AP) � The Massachusetts Institute of Technology suspended one
of its fraternities after a freshman pledge lapsed into an alcohol-induced coma
following a party Police were also investigating.
Scott Krueger, 18, of Orchard Park, N.Y was taken from the Phi Gamma
Delta fraternity house to a hospital early Saturday He remained in critical con-
dition Monday
The student's parents said his blood-alcohol level was .410, well above the
legal limit for drivers in Massachusetts. Darlenc Krueger said her son attended
a fraternity function before losing consciousness.
Police said vomit and empty liquor bottles wete found in Krucger's room at
the fraternity house. The chapter cannot hold social events pending the results
of the police investigation.
The InterFraternity Council also said the school's 39 undergraduate fraterni-

Sexually transmitted diseases on
the ECU campus arc on the
decrease and do not seem to
exceed the numbers presented by
other universities across nation.
"East Carolina University ranks

diseases said Heather Zophy,
Health Education Coordinator.
One out of every four college
students are infected with a STD,
according to a study conducted by
the American College Health
Association.
Many factors contribute to the
recefnt rise in the spreading of
STD's. Such factors include, the
decrease in the age of those engag-
ing in intercourse, multiple part-
ners, as well as the types of "at risk"
behaviors that college age group
students engage in.

Cheating widespread on
standardized tests
NEW YORK (AP) � The
Educational Testing Service, which
administers the SAT, citizenship
tests and professional licensing
exams, has suffered serious security
lapses and cheating problems. The
New York Times reported Sunday.
The Times cited numerous
instances in which the Princeton,
N.Jbased company had discovered
widespread cheating.
However, the newspaper said SAT
tests � reading and math skill evalu-
ations taken annually by millions of
hisrh school students �have not been
affected by simii r levels of c! eating.
Among the examples cited:
� Copies wf an e.vun given to
Louisiana teachers who want to be
school principals were found last fall
to have circulated throughout the
state, along with the answer sheet.
� People who speak no English
have appeared at Immigration and
Naturalization Service offices with
certificates showing they passed
English and civics tests administered
at ETS affiliates in major cities
around the country.
The nonprofit company closed 23
citizenship testing centers in New
York City because of evidence of
cheating and bribes paid to test
givers, the Times said.
� Questions on graduate school
admission tests have been memo-
rized by people taking the test in one
time zone and supplied by telephone
to people taking the tests in other
time zones.
The Times said its four-month
investigation found that ETS has
confronted many cases of cheating
but withheld information about them
from the public and local officials.
It said the company has played
down cheating incidents to protect
its dominance of the testing business
instead of spending money to tighten
the tests' integrity.
ETS President Nancy Cole told
the Times the companv had handled
cheating incidcr- a .priately ;��' !
ETS officials said they had given
state officials as much information as
they could.
"What those local authorities want
is evidence of who cheated, and
that's not what we have she said.
"We. don't think we have the evi-
dence to say effectively to the state
who cheated and who didn't cheat.
But we're pretty sure rhat we got rid
of the bulk of the scores that includ-
ed most of the people who cheated
The company quietly told at least
200 Louisiana teachers who had
passed the principal's exam that they
had to take the test again, the Times
said.
Attempts by The Associated Press
to reach ETS officials Sunday were
not successful.

Doctors find new AIDS drugs fail in about
half of patients
TORONTO (AP) � Widely heralded new AIDS treatments that seemed to
stop the virus' advance and revive patients from near death are now beginning
to fail in about half of all those treated, doctors said Monday.
The disappointing reports suggest the tough virus is coming back after being
knocked brieflv into submission, just as many experts feared it would.
Decks presented data from the University of California at San Francisco's
large public AIDS clinic at San Francisco General Hospital.
Prescriptions of so-called three-drug cocktails � two older AIDS drugs plus
one of the new class of medicines called protease inhibitors � have clearly rev-
olutionized AIDS care. In many places, more than 90 percent of AIDS patients
are taking these combinations, and typically people start on them as soon as they
learn they are infected, even before they get sick.
Patients whose disease-fighting T ceils were ravaged by HIV have gotten out
of bed, regained normal lives and even gone back to work. However, many wor-
ried from the start that the virus would eventually grow resistant to the protease
inhibitors and resume its insidious destruction.
School massacre: militants 12 teachers;
19 other civilians killed
ALGIERS, Algeria (AP) � Militants descended on a village school, shooting or
slashing to death 11 women teachers and the male instructor who ttied to stop
the massacre as students watched in horror, witnesses said Monday.
The deaths were among 31 civilians slain in two weekend attacks, while
security forces killed 11 members of the Armed Islamic Group that is waging a
bloodv terror campaign aimed at destsbifewgihe government.
While miliamwta v&&H&m&m and killed some school-
girls who refused to wear veils, Saturday's school massacre was the first of its
type during the 5 12-ycar-old Muslim insurgency.
The attack at Ain Adden School took place in Sfisef, a village 260 miles
southwest of Algiers near Sidi Bel Abes, reported the independent dailies
Liberte and Le Matin.

New AID's treatment fails patients
TORONTO (AP) � Widely herald-
ed new AIDS treatments that seemed
to stop the virus' advance and revive
patients from near death are now
beginning to fail in about half of all
those treated, doctors said Monday.
The disappointing reports suggest
the tough virus is coming back after
being knocked briefly into submis-
sion, just as many experts feared it
would.
"Over the past year, we had a hon-
eymoon period said Dr. Steven
Deeks. "The epidemic will likely
split in two, and for half the people
we will need new therapeutic
options
Deeks presented data from the
University of California at San
Francisco's large public AIDS clinic at
San Francisco General Hospital.
Prescriptions of so-called three-
drug cocktails � two older AIDS
drugs plus one of the new class of
medicines called protease inhibitors
� have clearly revolutionized AIDS
care. In many places, more than 90
percent of AIDS patients are taking
these combinations, and typically
people start on them as soon as they
learn they are infected, even before
they get sick.
Patients whose disease-fighting T
cells were ravaged by HIV have got-
ten out of bed, regained normal lives
and even gone back to work.
However, many worried from the start
that the virus would eventually grow
resistant to the protease inhibitors
and resume its insidious destruction.
The latest data, presented
Monday at an infectious disease con-
ference sponsored by the .American
Society of Microbiology, suggests this
is indeed happening regularly.
Deeks and colleagues reviewed
the records of 136 HIV-infected peo-
ple who started on protease inhibitors
in March 1996, when Crixivan and
Norvir, the first two powerful pro-
tease inhibitors, came on the market.
Most patients responded dramati-
cally. Their virus levels dropped so
low thev could not be found on stan-
I mm M
dard tests. But since then, the virus
has returned to detectable levels in
53 percent.
Although this is ominous, no one
knows exactly what it means.
'All of our 'failures' are clinically
feeling very well said Deeks. "It's
very important to understand we have
no idea of the prognosis of people who
have resistant virus
Deeks said other large .AIDS clin-
ics are having similar experiences,
although his is the first to present the
data publicly.
"There is a whole mixture of
explanations" for the failures, said Dr.
David Ho of the .Aaron Diamond
AIDS Research Center in New York
City. �
Ho said that for people who had
relatively low virus levels when they
started taking the drugs and had not
used other .AIDS medicines, failure
almost always means they did not
take their pills on schedule. Even
missing a few doses can ruin the treat-
ment.

ECU Archaeologist wins history award
Dr. David S. Phelps, an East Carolina University pro-
fessor emeritus and leading state expert on early Native
Americans, has received a national award for his work in
archaeology.
The American Association for State and Local
History has named Phelps a winner of one of the associ-
ation's annual Awards of Merit. The awards recognize
achievement in the preservation and interpretation of
local, state, provincial and regional history.
Phelps currently directs two important archaeology
projects. One project is on Hatteras Island near Buxton,
and is believed to be the capital of the Croatan Indians,
a prominent tribe associated with the Carolina
Algonkians. The other project is in Greene County at
the site of Neoheroka Fort.

East Carolina University School of Medicine students
will join thousands of their peers around the country in
learning more about primary care as a career option dur-
ing the school's celebration of Primary Care Week, Sept.
29�Oct. 1. The scheduled events are being held in con-
junction with National Primary Care Day, Oct.l.
The theme for the ECU events is "Primary Care
Leadership Helping the students organize their week
are the Generalist Physician Program, Academic .Affairs,
the Family Medicine and Generalist Physicians in
Training Student Interest Groups, and the N.C Primary
Care Association.
ECU celebrates national PA
(physicians assistant) day.
East Carolina will be a part of that celebration.
Because of ECU's fall break on Oct. 6, the staff, faculty
and students of PA Studies will celebrate National PA
Day on Friday, Oct. 3 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Great
Room on the second floor of Mendenhall Student
Center. We have invited members of the ECU faculty
and staff, along with medical personnel and representa-
tives from Pitt County and the surrounding areas to be a
part of this celebration. The mayor Greenville has pro-
claimed Oct. 6 as PA Day in Greenville.
Crime

under control. He did not find out
until later that the police used two
incorrect eyewitness accounts to
indict Mitchell for 24 counts of
attempted murder with a vehicle.
"The court date was set for Sept.
8, 1997. The prosecuting attorney,
before this time, lied to the court
stating that they had not heard from
me and did not know what I saw.
Because of this the prosecuting
attorney was taken off the case and a
new one was assigned Maiolo said.
Maiolo testified on Mitchell's
behalf Sept. 11th. Because of
Maiolo's testimonv, Mitchell was
acquitted.
There is now a civil suit pending
against Pro-Play Park, owners of
parking concessions, and
Metropolitan Dade County, Florida.
The racial party has not been arrest-
ed at this time. The prosecuting
attorneys are up against the bar for
lying to the court. Mitchell spent
ten-and-a-half months in jail, but is
now at home.

ECU may soon provide STD and HIV testing through its Health Services Department. This
i.certainly a welcome and needed service. STD and HIV infection are problems that are not
limited to other parts of the state or country. They are huge problems right here in Pitt County
�and even on the ECU campus. They are problems that we are all certainly aware of and, hope-
idly, cautious of. The latest debate concerning HIV and STD's concerns whether or not it
ifiould be made public who has HIV or STD infections. TEC believes this is not a preventive
measure, but a measure that would primarily punish a person who has possibly been infected.
Making public those who have tested positive for HIV or STD infections will make that per-
a second-class citizen. It will slap them with a label that will not go away. It will, in fact,
encourage discrimination. This person will most certainly face unnecessary hassles fr.m employ-
itSs, housing authorities and others. This will happen whether or not that gierson is actual putting
Anyone at risk, and, in most cases, they aren't putting anyone at risk.
Public listing may also cause additional trauma for a person whose positive test was incorrect.
The person already has to deal with thinking they are infected. They are relieved they are not
infected, but the person has already been publicly labeled. What will the effect be on this per-
son? Will they have lost their insurance? Their friends? The result will be much more than sim-
ple embarrassment; it will be a stigma that will change their lives forever.
Notification of HIV or STD infection is something that should be reserved for the person
infected and the persons they have had sexual relations with. If a law is necessary, that is the law
that should be made. It is actually does serve as a preventive measure, and it seeks to assist those
involved, not to hurt them as public notification would do.
HIV and STD notification is indeed a very public problem; but it will not be resolved by vio-
lating personal rights. The best way to go about remedying the problem is not through harass-
ment, but through awareness. Rr us to be aware, we need to know how to prevent the spread
of HIV and STD infection. By making the information public knowledge, it will not make us
aware; it will just make us avoid the problem.
OPINION

Open mind to campus missionaries
There are times when we
would rather just push right
on past the preacher, and
�' this is understandable.
However, you might find it
rewarding to engage in mean-
ingful dialogue with your
fellow human being, rather
than avoid them.
Have you ever been approached by
someone on campus wanting to tell
you about their religion? If not,
you've missed a wonderful opportuni-
ty for a heavy-duty application of
communication skills.
Naturally, anyone who would
spend their time relating their reli-
gion and deep beliefs with you prob-
ably has something worth listening
to. Always maintain sincerity with
them.
I got into an interesting discussion
about the religion of the Jehovah's
Witnesses with one such individual
recently. There arc a number of emo-
tional reactions to this situation. The
one I think I've witnessed the most is
anxiety.
Anxiety results from guilt, normal-
ly. Search out why you might feel
guilty in such a situation; perhaps
vou'll uncover something about your-
self.
Another reaction is the irritated or
angry response. This normally only
occurs when the preacher would
rather shove their belief down the
preac lee's throat than interact as a
sane individual with those with
whom he wishes to share his mes-
sage. Anger is a perfectly natural
response to these fire-and-brimstone
Bible bangers. Just try not to let them
unnerve you.
Probably the most common
response is the response of indiffer-
ence. The "I'm pretending not to lis-
ten to what you have to say. Please go
away
There's the polite response,
which is normally followed by more
intensive preaching, which is fol-
lowed by a less polite response, which
is followed by more intensive preach-
ing, which is followed by "Please
leave me alone, you weirdo
Perhaps, the least used but most
effective response is the engaging
response. It is paramount that the
engaging response be benign in
nature; however, it should be stated
with firm presentation of your per-
sonal beliefs at the outset. A positive
open mind, a sincere car for what the
preacher has to say, but held firmly in
check by one's own resolved feelings
about religion, can perhaps be the
most rewarding approach.
We live in America. Freedom of
speech and religion are virtues I
would die to defend. If you can't live
with freedom, why live, right?
However, freedom comes at a cost. It
comes at the cost of having to inter-
act, to engage sometimes with people
we might rather avoid. This is
humanity.
There are times when we would
rather just push right on past the
preacher, and this is understandable.
However, you might find it rewarding
to engage in meaningful dialogue
with your fellow human being, rather
than avoid them. They obviously
have something to say, something
that is pressing them. You may gain
something by simply listening, by
helping them gain something by let-
ting them get off whatever it is that's
on their chest. Think about it.
LETTER
to the Editor
Two-Step owner deserves freedom of choice
Here's a radical idea: the Texas Two-
ijtep has every right to refuse
jentrance to African-Americans. Now,
for those of you still reading, let me
explain. For those of you who have
already begun your hate mail, so be it.
But here's my reasoning: First let me
state that I am one of the most non-
racist people I know. Secondly, I
believe racism and discrimination is
totally wrong. Thirdly, I believe that
the Two-Step is being racist by not
allowing Mack patrons to enter from
the country side. But I also feel that as
a private business, the owners should
have the freedom to choose whom
they do or do not want to be in their
club.
I am a strong believer in the right
of every person to own a business. I
firmly believe that small business
owners help supplement the econo-
my. But I also feel that the legislative
and judicial branches of government
have taken it upon themselves to reg-
ulate every aspect of business to the
point that the owners are afraid to
open their doors for fear of breaking
some new law. Why can't a business
owner have the right to decide, "This
is the kind of person I want in my
business?" Why can he not say.
"These arc the people I want for my
employees?" If his business suffers
because of this small-minded atti-
tude, then he and he alone must
assume the consequences. But he
should have the right to make these
choices, because America is a land for
opportunity and freedom of choice.
If this discrimination had hap-
pened at a federal or state-run office,
I would be totally against it. I am for
affirmative action, when it is used cor-
rectly. And I assume Mr. Malaguti's
reasoning for his policy is to prevent
fights from breaking out between nar-
row-minded patrons who can't see
past the skin color of another person.
But how did he decide that black
patrons should be the ones not
allowed into the country side? Did he
and the bouncers get together and
draw straws? "Oh. paper covers rock,
let in the white kids Is he now going
to close off the Top 40 side to white
dancers? I don't know. But for those of
you who feel the Two-Step is wrong in
their policy, don't go. Tell your friends
not to go unless the policy is changed.
Call the place and voice your opinions.
Free choice works more than one way.

Greenville drivers need education
Now follow Jeffs little
driving tips and this city
may lnvuw ittsur to
navigate, although I
would not count on less
congestion given the hor-
ribly timed stoplights that
abound throughout town.
With thanks to one of my professors,
this column is just a rant. The ranting
and raving is about a problem I con-
sider to be on top of my list of pet
peeves. The problem is the driving
around town.
Just a little reminder the middle
lane, the one with solid yellow line, is
for turning. Too often I have seen
people use this lane for merging. Let
me tell you a story. I have a friend
who tried to use the turning lane to
merge. To remain anonymous the
friend shall be known as Bob.
Now Bob pulled out of a shopping
center. .Seeing no traffic coming from
his left and Jots of traffic coming from
the right, he decided to drive into the
midaie lane. Well, another car came
long and decided to use the middle
lane for what it was designed for
turning. Well, to make a long story
short. Bob had a head-on collision, his
insurance went up and his semi-nice
car was damaged beyond repair.
Another problem with Greenville
traffic happens to he speeding and
the lack of speed. Why is it that peo-
ple will do 40-50 mph on 5th street,
whether it be the 25 or 35 mph zone?
Yet, when these same people get on
Greenville Blvd they see the 45 mph
speed limit sign and decide to drive
30 mph.
Yet another reminder to all those
drivers out there, a right turn on red
is permitted. The only time you can-
not turn on red is when a sign clearly
states no turn on red. Too many times
I have sat behind a blue-haired per-
son driving a small tank, waiting for
them to make the turn. Usually they
make the turn when the light turns
green and then only after looking to
the left to make sure no traffic is
coming. Never mind the steady
stream of vehicles driving past them,
in the straight lane, they still look.
A horn is a simple device, push the
button and a loud noise emits. Now,
this noise is used to let people know
the light turned green, cut me off,
you are a friggin moron and other
such useful purposes. A horn should
not be used to say "hi Using the
horn to say hi is much in the same as
giving someone the bird to say I love
you.
For the last time the left lane is
the fast lane. Slower traffic move to
the right is not just a good idea, in
many states, including this one, it is a
law. The law generally applies to the
interstate roads, but it is a suggestion
for everywhere else.
If you do not want to drive the
posted speed limit and you do not
like to give up the left lane, stay off
the four lane throughways. Drive the
side roads where you and the rest of
you ill-mannered ilk can be happy.
When an accident has happened
on the other siSe of the road, do not
stop or slow down to rubberneck If
you do rubberneck think about what
it means. The kind of person slows
down and watches another person's
misery or suffering is barbaric at best.
Now follow Jeff's little driving
tips and this city may become easier
to navigate, although I would not
count on less congestion given the
horribly timed stoplights that abound
throughout town. Oh, and one more
thing: if someone lets you in, do not
stop to wave, drive off and away in
one motion.

Protection from music unnecessary
Plato believed that all music
reflected the divine music of
the spheres and that the more
similar earthly music was to
this divine music, the more
power it has Much of our
modem musichas been a
binding force in our culture,
providing a bond across
national and cultural bound-
ariesSo perhaps music does
have power.
Imagine, if you will, a world without
music. Not just radio music, but any
music at all. No strumming of guitars,
no birds singing, no children hum-
ming quietly to themselves. The wind
is a silent force now. No chimes or
leaves rustle because of its breath.
People wait in fear for the moment
when they will inadvertantly break
into a moment of song for they know
that as soon as they do, the music
police will be upon them, clamping a
hand over their mouths, wrestling
them back to a laboratory where they
will receive a songectomy that will
remove the gift of musk from their
minds forever.
This sounds like a Star Trek plot,
or the delusions of a paranoid 'Nam
vet, but the truth is, some of us live in
that world right now, right here, in
America. There are people who trem-
ble in mortal fear, not of Nazi police
forces hiding in the shadows or of das-
tardly tyrants waiting to overthrow
the government, but of something
simple as a song.
Not to say that these people are
entirely silly. The ancient philosopher
Plato believed that all music reflected
the divine music of the spheres and
that the more similar earthly music
was to this divine music, the more
power it has. Religions of every type
have used music as a form of worship
and celebration. Much of our modem
music, such as the Beatles, has been a
binding force in our culture, providing
a bond across national and cultural
boundaries.
So perhaps music does have power.
My father is a musician and he has
spoken often to me of his goal to cre-
ate music that heals people, which is
not a far-fetched goal. Jazz musician
John Coltrane experienced such a
healing from th � very music he
played.
Songs have special, important
meanings to every human being, even
those hearing-impaired. I 'as once
friends with a hearing-impaired per-
son who went to dance clubs and
placed his hands on the speaker stacks
so he could feel the beat. Music is
deep and mysteriously powerful, and
it is very likely the best music is not
always going to confirm our closed-
minded views of the way the universe
works. The best music is itself, and
demands that you approach it on its
own terms. Once you do that, you
have opened a door to a richlv beauti-
ful, terrifying, and, yes, dangerous and
offensive world. But isn't that what
the real world is supposed to be like?
If music really does reflect the deep
singing of the divine, shouldn't it
cause us to shift in our seats a little?
Shouldn't it make us take a critical
look at our choices, our beliefs and
ourselves as people.
In the movie Sch'mdltrs List, there's
a scene where the tired Jews stop
their labors for a moment to sing the
Kaddish, the prayer for the dead. The
tune they sing is haunting, biting and
it was, for me, one of the most emo-
tional musical moments in my life.
Interestingly, I am not a Jew. I do not
hold to or agree with everything the
Jews believe, but the music touched
me all the same. Because I did not
close my mind to the music, I was
taken into a world I would have other-
wise never tasted.
There are people who want to take
this deep form of human sharing away
from us. They are fearful and afraid �
afraid that something in the music
might change them, might cause
them to reform an opinion, might
make them cry. They complain to us,
say their rights are being abused, that
they are offended, that they are being
oppressed. They say they have the law
on their side, and maybe they do.
Maybe we should comply and censor
songs with religious content.
But once we start down that road,
can we stop? What if it becomes hard-
er and harder to know where to draw
the boundaries? What if we wake up
one morning in a world where music is
against the law? Because all music
says something, and someone will
ahvavs be offended.
Rome ceased to be a republic and
became a dictatorship when the
Roman Senate traded their freedom
in for security. The Nazi empire did
not begin until Hitler had convinced
the Germans that he was protecting
them from the dangerous Jews. I for
one don't want to be protected from
music, Christian or any sort. I want to
have the freedom to walk into a dan-
gerous, offensive situation, because
it's often in the midst of these situa-
tions when you become a mature
human being.

Who the hell is that driving the psy-
chobilly Cadillac with the man in the
back wearing bikini underwear and
stiletto heels? Who else? It's The
Cramps, hun.
The Cramps return to break up
your happy trailer park with Big Beat
From BacJstille. their first album on
Epitaph Records, home of many
bands who were probably still victim-
izing their bed sheets with tinkle
when The Cramps emerged from hell
(Cleveland) in the mid 70s. The
album proves The Cramps still play
the rockabilly devil's music better
than anyone around.
The Cramps play music for strip
bars that will never exist, except
maybe in godaw fully good B-movies
with plenty of neekid wimmen and
guys with five eyes and no teeth.
Over the years, the band's song titles
have indeed indicated no higher pur-
suit than to he title songs for Russ
Meyer flicks. I mean, don't expect
"Mad Daddy" "Coodx Muck" and
"Bikini Girls With Machine (Ains" to
be covered by Celine Dion anytime
soon.

kSSISTXN'l III is n I.I I HI I UK
In the early nineties, in the days
before grunge was the sacred cow of
modern pop music, there was an
obscure British quartet who managed
to win over critics and hoity-toity
alternative music fans with their
quiet, solid album of moody pop
songs. The album � as called Riwling,
Writing md Arithmetic, and the band
was the Sundays.
The winning combination of
Harriet Wheeler's pixiedust soprano
vocals and David Gavurin's quiet gui-
tar textures brought the band mild
success in the college radio market.
They followed their first album up
with the strikingly brilliant Bliiul. and
then they disappeated from the scene
for five years.
Static and Silence is the Sundays
third album, and it shows just how
much, and how little, five years can do
to a good band. This band is still the
Sundays. But this band is also not the
Sundays, at least, not the Sundays of
old. That's not necessarily a bad
thing, but the resulting music is not
what Sundays fan might expect.
In a way. the album is more like
Reading, Writing and Arithmetic than
Blind. Though it really sounds like
neither, the inevitable changes in the
chemistry and musical ability of the
band has put them back at square
one. They couldn't, without getting
stale, just copy Blind, but thev could-
n't pick up right where they left off.

Council preserves North Carolina art history

Art deepens the quality of human life. It is an expression of our
souls, riddled with pain, enlightenment , joy and understand-

nation in its effort to celebrate the creativeness alive within the
American spirit.
Since 1967, The North Carolina Arts Council has been in

promised, "to have the arts in broadest definition, become part
of the lives of all people
For thirty years, this council has enriched the creative aware-
ness of the state by publicly funding artists, art education
endeavors and artistic and cultural events which are enjoyed by
numerous North Carolinians .
Governor James B. Hunt, Jr. shares Governor Sanford's
vision. In proclaiming October as North Carolina's Arts and
Humanities Month. Hunt says the arts and humanities help
us deepen our understanding of one another, honor our differ-
ences, and celebrate our shared values the arts and humani-
ties has touched every citizen's life from childhood to develop-
ment and public school education, to adult education and
multi-cultral literacy, to tourism and economic growth
This upcoming month recognizes the unusual artistry of our
state. North Carolina's uniqueness, diversity and tradition are
kept alive by such art forms as basket making, gospel and blues
musicians, potters, buck and flatfoot dancers, string band and
bluegrass musicians, storytellers and quilt makers. The arts
help deepen our understanding of our history and reflect North
Carolina's distinctive qualities. Without the celebration and
recognition that the Art Council gives to these art forms, part
of out state's heritage would be lost.
"Our state's rich folk art traditions have been identified, cel-
ebrated and are now highly valued in the state and beyond
said Mary B. Regan, executive director of the Arts. "The Travel
Industry .Association of America says North Carolina is the sev-
enth most popular destination nationally for 'heritage tourism'
and it is because our arts community does an excellent job to
keep our heritage alive.
"We hope citizens will thank their legislators and local offi-
cials who have made this explosive expansion in the arts possi-
ble. It is our wish as we celebrate together, we will appreciate
what the arts bring to us and commit to making the next thirty
vears as fruitful as the last

The setting is the Oscars where a
hot. new actor known as Cameron
Drake (played perfectly by a blonde
Matt Dillon) is up for best actor of the
year It's at this worldwide televised
ceremony that the audience for c?
Out gets a glimpse of (Cameron's dra-
matic military film. To Serve ami
Protect. Cameron plays a war hero who
also happens to be gay, and his heart-
felt portrayal of this tortured soul has
captured the attention of all the
movie-going world. It's an honest per-
formance in a very timely and impor-
tant film.
At least that's what it is to the char-
acters of In c? (Jut. To us, the teal-life
audience sitting in the dark theater
munching on buttered popcorn and
indigestible twilers. Cameron's film
is a ridiculous cliche filled with every
tired stereotype from the wheelchair-
bound war vet to a gay man who
adores the Bette Milder film. Beaches.
While the fictional audience of c?
Out finds Cameron's artistic endeavor
compellingly brilliant, we. the actual
audience, find it simplv silly and, as a
result, laugh at it.
The point of this scene, of course,
is to illustrate not only ineffective
stereotypes but also Hollywood's mis-
handling of homosexuals in film.
Some Hollywood films have done ade-
quate justice to the gay community
when trying to tell their story, but
even the better ones, like PhiUidelphni.
have forced self-censorship on them-
selves in an effort to reach a more
mainstream audience. It's Ix'en said
that comedv is the most difficult
genre to master. Apparently, the
newest, hardest genre to get right is
now the gay comedy, a genre which is
popular with mainstream America. The
Bird Cage Ami To llbug Foo were both
huge hits in the ISL, but neither did
complete justice to the gay communi-
ty simply because both played too
heavily on the stereotypical notion of
what it means to be gay.
I'nfortunately, In &(Jut doesn't fair
much better with the stereotypes,
but, ironically, that is exactly what
thrusts this film forward and keeps
the laughs coming. c? Out plays off
of. and at the same time, rips into
stereotypes, not just gay stereotypes
but stereotypes of all shapes and sizes.
The film walks a fine line -erween
having fun and being insulting, and
while it does occasionally slip on the
negative side, if Out is, for the most
part, an enjoyable treat.
The basic premise centers around
an Fnglish teacher named Howard
Brackeit (played by Kline) who is
publiclv "outted" as being gay when
his former student, Cameron, gives
his acceptance speech at the Oscars.
This comes as a shock to everyone in
Howard's small community, especially

Howard's fiancee (played by Joan
Cusack). As a result, Howard's life
becomes a frantic mess as he runs
away from the media who want his
story, attempts to convince his family
and friends that he is not gay, and,
most importantly, struggles to come to
terms with is own sexuality.
This concept could be transformed
into an intelligent, as well as humor-
ous, story, but the two worlds do not
meet here. Director Frank Oz and
writer Paul Rudnick sacrifice the
brains for the laughs. Less time is
spent with Howard as a character who
must ask himself some serious ques-
tions, and more time is spent on
scenes where Howard dances against
his will to disco and gets in a brawl
with one of his "masculine" friends
who speaks badly against Barbara
Streisand (there are about three too
many Streisand jokes in this film).
Still, & Out is not a bad movie.
There are plenty of laughs as well as
an excellent cast. Kline shines as the
pure-at-heart Howard. Possessing a
rare honesty within, Kline is the nat-
ural choice for any character with
whom the audience is supposed to
like and admire. We believe and
accept Kline as Howard, and that is
essential for this film to work at all.
If you prefer your comedies with
more substance and intelligence, then
you'd better skip out on Kline's latest
venture into humor. However, if you
just want a breezy good time that
requires little effort on your part, In &
Out gets the job done.

But more than shock and black
leather drive The Cramps. They are a
band who play like they are still trying
to get signed to Sun Records circa
1956. They want to go on tour with
Billy Riley, Carl Perkins and Charlie
Feathers. They want to get drunk
with Sam Phillips and play nasty, raw
cave music that'll get Jimmy
Swaggart's underpants in a bunch.

ever. On "Burn She-Devil, Burn Lux

Sundays
continued from page 6
The result is, in an odd way, a second
debut album. It's as if the Sundays
went back in time and made their first
album.
For the most pan, the band is most
successful in those songs that aren't
too much like the Sundays of old,
though the difference is only subtle.
More a difference in color of sound
than anything else, the music still
sounds like the Sundays, but perhaps
a Sundays from a parallel universe.
From that perspective, Sttrtk and
Silnue is actually very good. It speaks
of better albums to come after it,
whose sandals it is not worthy to
untie, but in the meantime tiii will
do.
The Sundays are dcfinitelv not
mocks, perfume oils, candles, walking
staves, and pottery for sale. There is
also plenty of "modem" food: chicken
fingers, pizza and fries, although, in
my opinion, why get it there when
you can get it anywhere else? Long-
haired lasses can get their hair braid-
ed and adorned with flowers. Anyone
with a patch of bare skin showing can
get it painted with fanciful dragons or
mermaids.
People of all ages and sizes can also
rent costumes for the day, so as to
blend in with the crowd of actors and

Live Crew after watching an all-night
Elvis movie marathon. You could lis-
ten to this album over a candle-lit din-
ner, as long as you plan on setting the
table on fire afterwards and dancing
naked on it.
However, The Cramps come with
more than homy-dog lyrics. They arc
driven by the lovely Poison Ivy, guitar
goddess. She could have definitely cut
it as one of those Sun Records session
players. Ivy plays the guitar as sharp
and dangerous as a switchblade knife.
She tears it up on "Vkt Nightmare a
song that would make Dick Dale
delirious with envy. 1 bet she could
take ole' Dick, too.
The album is chock of full of polit-
ically correct goodness. W; have the
skewing their music to the young pop
market though. Most of the songs on
the album are introspective and quiet,
and even the bouncy numbers are
bouncy in a pleasant, relaxed way.
This is an album to play during tea-
time on a rainy day while reading a
calm novel.
"Summertime the first single, is a
definite marker for the flavor of the
album. Questioning the accuracy of a
storybook romance, it nevertheless
decides to keep faith in the summer-
time love. Harriet Wheeler is still a
skillful lyricist, evidenced by lines
like, "all I see is films where a colour-
less despair meant angry young men

album reflects this dispassionate
searching for satisfying love.

The East Carolinian
Waxer leads ECU's rising soccer club
Jeremy andkrson
STAFF WRITKR
For the past couple of seasons, the ECU Men's
Soccer team has looked for ways to improve
the defensive end of their game. The Pirates
may have found the answer-Brett Waxer, a
sophomore from East Meadow, N.Y.
Waxer, a 1997 team co-captain, plays
sweeper for an improving Pirate soccer club.
With his help, last year's team held opponents
to less than 2.5 goals per contest for the first
time in five years.
"We are coming together as a team and
playing well Waxer said. "We want to make a
name for ourselves in the CAA"
Waxer is not new to making a name for him-
self. Last season as a freshman, he started and
played in all 19 games.
"Brett may have come out ten minutes all
season. He is very steady on the field and
leads by example ECU Head Soccer Coach
Will Wiberg said.
Waxer began his list of accomplishments at
East Meadow High School. He was named
team captain and MVP as both a junior and
senior. He w named First Team All-State
after scoring six goals and ten assists in his
senior season.
His on-the-field success has continued at
ECU. Last year, he was nominated for CAA
Rookie of the Year and All Conference honors.
For Waxer, the choice to attend ECU was
simple.
"I always wanted to go to a North Carolina
school. I love che weather and the atmosphere
down here Waxer said.
Waxer is currently majoring in Recreation
and Leisure Studies at ECU, but still holds
out hope of some day playing soccer after col-
leSc- . � I u
"I've been playing soccer since I was three.
If the opportunity came up to play after col-
lege, I would love to Waxer said.
Waxer is also pleased to see how well soccer
has taken hold across the country.
"Everytimc you turn
on the TV you see a soc-
cer commercial or a
game. That's great
Waxer said.
It would also please
Waxer if the Pirates
made a strong showing
in the CAA standings.
"We need to gain
some respect for ECU

STAFF WRITKR
In looking at the 10-7 record of the ECU
Women's Volleyball team, most people
would say that they are having a pretty
good season. But if you look below the sur-
face a little you'll find that for a team with
one senior and only four juniors, they are
having much more than a pretty good sea-
son. For a team with so few upper class-
men, they are impressing a lot of people.
Last Friday night the Lady Pirates
played their first conference game against
William and Mary. Even though they did
lose, ECU Head coach Kim Walker was
pleased with the effort put in on the court.
" Although they played sloppy at times.
they played hard the entire game and did-
n't give up Walker said.
Walker wasn't the only coach to recog-
nize ECU's shine during the game.
"The ECU women played 100 percent
the entire game and they are vastly
improved over last year said Debbie Hill,
head coach for William and Mary. "Coach
Walker is doing an excellent job with the
girls and they are all developing their skills
very well
junior starter Kristin Warner said that
this season has been the best of her career
so far.
"I looked forward to mis season more
than any other, and so faf :his season the
team is the best it has been during my
career here at ECU Warner said. "I was
impressed with the girls tonight. They
didn't give up, even when we were down
13-1. This season has been like a roller
coaster ride, but the girls keep coming
back each game and playing as hard as they
can Warner said.
After Saturday's game the Pirates
evened their Conference record at 1-1 and
their overall record to 11-7. Even though
they are a very young team, they are still
very much in the race for the conference
title.
As for Friday's game, Warner predicted
the game to be one of rebuilding motiva-
tion since the losses against Memphis and
then Missouri. She said that despite the
loss she thinks that this team has bounced
back.
The team pulled together for the fight
against Virginia Commonwealth to pick up
their first CAA victory of the season 8-15,
11-15,15-7,15-8, 15-12. The win was the
first conference win since a 3-0 victory
over UNC-Wilmington almost two years
ago. The Lady Pirates fell behind 2-0 after
two games, but came back to even their
conference record 1-1 (11-7 overall).
Leading the Pirates to fame was fresh-
man Cinta Claro, who collected 24 kills
and 12 digs. In the fifth game, she scored
eight straight points to put ECU ahead 8-
1 going into the final game.
Also performing as a team leader was
freshman Liz Hall, who completed her
eighth double-double of the season with
18 kills and 21 digs. Warner had 50 assists
and 16 digs.
The Pirates will be on the road today
for their next battle, to be held against
UNC-Wilmington.

(SID)- The men's soccer team won their first conference
game on last Wednesday beating UNC-Wilmington 3-0,
and then lost Sunday to Georgia Southern, ranked 20th in
the nation, 3-1.
In Wednesday's action, ECU forwards AJ. Gray and
Scott Pokorney combined for three goals in the first 17
minutes of action and Pirate senior keep Jay Davis held
UNC-W at bay as the Pirates recorded the shutout. With
the victory, ECU improved to 3-4 and 1-1 in the CAA
heading into Sundav's show down.
With ECU off to its best start in 11 years, they played
host to 20th ranked Georgia Southern and fought a tight
defensive battle with the visiting Eagles for 80-plus min-
utes, before falling to 3-1. The Pirates record is now 3-5
and still 1-1 in the CAA.
The Eagles got on the scoreboard first at the 20:17
mark when junior defender Kevin Hanfman headed a cor-
ner kick from senior midfielder Chris Carlson. The match
would remain 1-0 until the halftime intermission. After 45
minutes of play ECU goal keeper Jay Davis had tallied six
saves.
For most of the second half, both teams were locked in
a defensive showcase. The 1-0 margin remained unto the
83rd minutes when Ga. Southern was awarded a penalty
kick on a Pirate foul. After the Eagles capitalized on the
score, ECU was down 2-0. Four minutes later they
extended their lead to 3-0.
The Pirates didn't give up. Moments after the Eagles
goal, ECU sophomore defender Sean Hawley scored on a
header from inside the goal box in tbr S9th minute. For
Hawley it was his second goal of the season. ECU forward
Scott Pokorney and defender Brian Taylor were credited
with assists on the play. ECU would finish with 14 shot
attempts, while the Eagles had 24. For the match. Davis
recorded 12 saves, anchoring the back line for the Pirates.
"The match was very evenly played for 83 minutes
ECU Head Coach Will Wiberg said. "Both teams had their
chances out there; we just didn't capitalize. In the second
half, we moved to a high pressure game which made us a
little more vulnerable defensively. We played hard and
gave a good battle; Georgia Southern is definitely deserv-
ing of its top-20 ranking
. ECU will return to action on Saturday, Oct. 4, when
tr(ey play another non-conference match at Campbell
University First tough is set for 3 p.m. in Buies Creek,
NC.
The women's soccer team
played on Wednesday and
Saturday, recording one confer-
ence win, and one non-confer-
ence loss. The Lady Pirates host-
ed conference foe ODU on
Wednesday and recorded a 1-0
win after freshman forward Kim
Sandhoff drilled a shot into the
back of the net from inside the
goal box at the 65:00 mark and
keeper Amy Horton and the
defense made it stand up as ECU
shutout the Lady Monarchs 1-0
in CAA action.
Going into Sunday's game
with the Lady Wolfpack, the
Lady Pirates had a 5-4 (1-1 CAA)
record, including a four game
winning streak. N.C. State
shutout the Pirates 3-0. Going
into the half, the Lady Pirates
were only down by one, 1-0. In
the second half, the Pirates had
four shots on goal but were
unable to crack the scoreboard.
Pirate senior co-captain .Vracie
Gause recorded one shot as did
midfielders Erin Cann and
Courtnev Jurcich and defender
Jill Davis.
N.C. State would go on to
score two more second half goals.

F.lon, 6-0,6-2. In the same flight. Lady Pirates Mona Eek,
Michelle Martin, and Anne-Birgitte Svae all took a bye in
the first round. Eek won her second match, defeating
Julie Harnois of Charleston Southern, 6-4. 6-3. Martin
also advanced, defeating Charleston Southern's Jill Lewis
Is it just me, or is there an awful lot
of biting going on this year? Maybe
there's something in the water. First
it's Mike Tyson, now Marv Albert. I
was bitten just last week, but that's
another story Til save for later. As I
was saying, Marv Albert is the latest
celebrity to suffer an embarrassing
moment in the public eye.
For those of you in the dark,
Albert was accused of biting a woman
numerous times arid forcing her to
perform oral sex Now, I'm sure most
of us have nothing against oral sex,
but forcing someone to commit any
sexual act against their will is not
condoned by the public or the law.
The woman, Vanessa Perhnach, filed
suit against Albert and the trial took
place just last week in an Arlington,
Va. courtroom.
I don't know about you, but I
thought this trial was full of surprises.
The defense, led by attorney Roy
Black, was not allowed to submit 80
to 90 percent of their evidence and
testimony, including testimony from
Walter Brody. Brady, a taxicab driver,
admitted that Ptrhnach approached
him with a bribe in exchange for giv-
ing false testimony in court against
Albert. It was reported that she want-
ed Brodv to tell the court that Albert
had requested him to find a boy for
sexual purposes latet in the evening.
Clearly this would have helped
Albert challenge his accuser and
many agree it should have been
included. Also excluded from court
was evidence of Perhnach's past
attempts to cash in on similar sexual
escapades. Don't get me wrong, it's
evident from the trial that Perhnach
was the victim of abuse from Albert,
I'm just saying that this type of evi-
dence would suggest that justice is
not all that Perhnach may have been

Davenport injury may make Keldorf starter again
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (.AP) � Mack Brown has been telling anyone who would listen the last three weeks the ben-
efits of having two No. 1 quarterbacks.
What had been a luxury for No. 5 North Carolina (4-0, 2-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) may become a necessity
following Saturday's knee injury to starting quarterback Oscar Davenport.
Davenport sprained a ligamenr in his left knee with about 12 minutes left in the Tar Heels' 48-20 victory over
Virginia and did not return. The junior, who has thrown 121 straight passes without an interception, was listed as
questionable Sunday for North Carolina's game this weekend at Texas Christian.
The injury is to the same knee that cut short Davenport's 1995 season and required surgery It's unclear just how
much Davenport will be able to practice this week � if at all.
That would mean Chris Keldorf, last year's ACC quarterback of the year and starter in North Carolina's first two
games, would be back under center at TCU.
Sampras proves again he has no real challengers
MUNICH, Germany (AP) � Pete Sampras keeps letting his racket do the talking.
With all the talk of a new generation coming in men's tennis, Sampras proved again Sunday that he's still No. 1
by a long shot.
The world's top-ranked player defeated U.S. Open winner Patrick Rafter 6-2,6-4,7-5 to win the Grand Slam Cup
and it's huge first-place prize of $1.5 million.
With players like Andre Agassi and Boris Becker fading from the headlines, other players like Britain's hard-serv-
ing Greg Rusedski or Chile's Marcelo Rios are emerging.
But the most promising of the lot appears to be Rafter, the Australian with power and surprising speed. He has
shot from 69th in the world to third this year.
But Rafter, 24, can't beat Sampras. He lost his sixth straight to the top-ranked American at the Grand Slam Cup
just a week after Sampras beat him to carry the United States past Australia and into the Davis Cup final.
Montantes dies two days after knockout
LAS VEGAS (AP) � Boxer Johnny Montantes is dead, two days after being knocked out in a fight.
Montantes, 28, of Las Vegas, died at 1:30 p.m. PDT Sunday at University Medical Center, said hospital spokes-
woman Pat Morris.
After Montantes was declared brain dead, the boxer's family gave approval for doctors to remove his organs for
donation, said Dr. Eiias Ghanem, chairman of the Nevada Athletic Commission.
"He is brain dead. He has no chance Ghanem said. "The family has agreed to donate his organs to whoever
needs them

after.
On the other side of the coin, the
prosecution pulled a "Perry Mason"
style of move and presented a sur-
prise witness. The defense was
unprepared for this witness, who
testified that Albert had also abused
her in a similar way. Albert's attor-
nevs, without muc of a defense left
and at an unfair disadvantage, made
a deal with the prosecution for
Albert to plead guilty to misde-
meanor assault and battery instead
of rhe more serious charge of
forcible sodomy.
So with the trial finally over, who
is the real winner and loser here? In
my opinion, all parties involved both
lose and win. The accuser, Vanessa
Perhnach, had her shady private life
and questionable reputation
brought into the spotlight, which
I'm sure was more than she had bar-
gained for going into the trial. Marv
Albert also lost big. His reputation
was dragged through the mud with
stories about a supposed fetish of
wearing women's underwear along
with other bedroom behavior. Albeit
also lost his job as a play-by-play
announcer for the NBA on NBC.
The. network fired him upon hear-
ing of Albert's guilty plea in court on
Thursday. Let's not forget that
Albert also faces sentencing on
October 24th; where he faces the
possibility of jail time and fines.
As far as winning pies, I get the
feeling that all of the parties will be
coming out of this doing pretty
good. I say this because Perhnach
still has the opportunity to file a
civil suit for money, and a guilty plea
in this trial can only help her in the
end. Albert, with over 30 years in
broadcasting, should be back to
work soon, but probably not in the
same lofty position that he once
held. Let's not forget the book
deals. Give it six months, and I bet
Perhnach will have a book telling us
all about "Marvelous Marv's" sex
life, sure to hit bathroom shelves
everywhere!
The true loser here, and I think
we can all agree, is sports broadcast-
ing. On the surface, NBC is losing a
talented announcer who will be
hard to replace. The fans who watch
the NBA on NBC will miss hearing
Albert as well. But on a deeper level,
it's people like me, who want to one
day become popular sports com-
mentators, who really lose. Albert
hasn't exactly set a fine example for
the rest of a with all of this. Also, I
for one am bothered by the possibil-
ity that I could end up in a similar
predicament one day, with my pri-
vate life dragged into the spotlight
and my reputation trashed. Gee, I
guess I'll have to either become
celibate or make sure I do a better
job than Marv in covering it up. Hey,
look on the bright side-we finally
know where Marv got his trademark
