rfcfffci �-�� THURSDAY OCTOBER 2.1997 EAST rOUNA UNIVERSITY GREENVILLE, NORTH CAROUNA ; ! Police say assaults fact, serial rapist fiction Recent rash of crimes appear non-related ANGELA KOKN'IG STAKr WHITER Rumors spreading across campus about rapes and sexual assaults are based on three incidents, but ECU Police believe many stories are exaggerated. "There are some rumors going around that there have been several rapes and sex- ual assaults on campus. There is a rumor that there is a serial rapist going across campus said Detective Mike Jordan. Jordan said there have been three reported incidents on campus recently. A student in Jones Hall reported being raped and the suspect has been identified and was an acquaintance of the female. "Ws're just trying to final- ize the investigation and then get it to the DA's (District Attorney) office Jordan said. A female in Cottcn Hall reported being grabbed in the crotch while in the hallway of her dorm. The male was an acquaintance and an arrest was made. Another account of sexual assault was made by a female in Fletcher Hall. "What happened was a young lady was walking down the stairs and reported being grabbed but the suspect got away Jordan said. These thing are happening. There has been a report of a rape. I just don't hke the kind of rumors going around Detective Mike Jordan There is another rumor of a rape on cam- pus, but police say the alleged victim has not yet filed an official report. "There is another unreported, uacon- firmed report of a girt being raped in Garrett (Hall) Jordan said. The police department wants students to be aware of these incidents but not fear- ful due to exaggerations. "These things are happening. There has been a report of a rape. I just don't like the kind of rumors going around Jordan said. "Those rumors make people afraid and scared, especially girls, and they get people worried If a student is sexually assault- ed on campus it is important that they contact the; ECU Police Department. "Wc gather all the facts we can gather and then present in to the District Attorney (for Pitt County) Jordan said. In addition to contacting the police, the Center for Counseling and Student Development provides sever- al services to students who have been sexually assaulted including after hours counsel- ing. "If anything happens after hours all of us are on a rotating on-call system so you don't have to wait until the next day when the office opens to sec us said Dr. Lynn Roeder, director of the center. The center is in the process of beginning a support group for students who have been sexually assaulted. ECU to unveil new logos in January Pee Dee the Pirate, the school's mascot since the early 80s, will soon be joined by new logos. PHOTO IV MUMOA PflOCTCS ECU plans to continue use of existing logos Jim martin ST.KF WRITE East Carolina University is in the midst of expanding its marks and logos and giving PeeDec a new friend. ECU officials are trying to keep this event as quiet as possible. "Everything will be unveiled around the first few weeks of January at the beginning of the spring semester said Lee Workman, assistant athletic director. Another big question remains: what about new athletic marks and PceDee? "The athletic department is exploring additional marks for merchandising purpos- es only, and PecDce himself will not be changed said Mike Hamrick, athletic director. It does appear there will be some sort of addition to Pee Dee, although the universi- ty docs not want to lose the Pirate, which has been the school's mascot since the early 80's. "It will be an update that students will be pleased with said Ben Irons, university attorney. No staff member would go into detail about exactly what will be added. There will be no deletions in the existing marks and logos, just additions. The University's recent suit with Skully's has focused attention on the extent of ECU's ability to limit another organiza- tion's use of their marks or similiar ones. With the new logos, the university is going through certain steps to ensure new additions will be the property of the univer- sity alone. "New marks are registered with the state SEE1080.

The statistical information is based on an average. It fluctuates and there is a lot of variation between departments. North Carolina State University's (NCSU) College of Education and Psychology, on average, pays their graduate student teaching assistants approximately $4,100 a semester; however, this does not cover room and board expenses. XDur program doesn't cover housing, but we do supply graduate teaching assistants with medical coverage. State appropriated funds offer the Student Preferred Care Medical Insurance Plan, which doesn't include dental coverage. However, it does supply students with basic medical care said Winnie Peoples, Administrative Assistant at NCSU. Unlike NCSU, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill offers their graduate teaching assistants medical benefits with the possibility of receiving some form of tuition reduction. "At UNC the recommended stipend is THURSDAY $4,200 per semester, however, there is great variability among departments and the rate they actually pay them. Out-of-state gradu- ate students also receive tuition reduction said Virginia Lee, Director Teaching Assistant Development Center for Teaching and Learning. Both UNC and NCSU fail to offer other compensation for graduate teaching assis- tants; however, the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG) does. "If an individual takes six or more hours a semester they're considered to be a full- time student. If they attend school full- time, they're not subject to FICA tax. It is important to remember that they must be full-time to receive this benefit said Page Morris, Budget Office of Graduate School at UNCG. According to UNCG's Graduate Schoolj graduate teaching assistants earn approxi- mately $3,500 a semester with no medical fix housing coverage; however, they may be eli- gible for a tuition waiver. Their eligibility for funds and benefits is determined by their department membership. UNCG almost has as many students as ECU, but their programs are noticeably dif- ferent. "Graduate teaching assistants' pay varies between departments, but, on average, it's around $2,750 a semester. Our graduate teaching assistants do not receive any med- ical or housing benefits. Also, we don't offer tuition reduction said Andrea Harrel, Administrative Manager for the Division of Research and Graduate Studies at ECU ECU has approximately 18,000 students and UNCW has an estimated student body population of 9,000. ECU is twice as big, but UNCW provides twice as many possible future projects. UNCW's graduate teaching assistants receive approximately $7,000 for 10 months of teaching; however, thev do not receive any medical benefits, tuition reductions, i SEE GRADUATE. PAGE 3 opinion.

It had been that way. for nearly 30 years " But a newspaper storv that was reprinted across the state about the collard cookery created such a demand that Collard Day was moved tp.Wcdncsdays. That way, the cooks get time to prepare and rest. Just five months ago, Collard Day was a quiet local tradition. After the Wilmington Morning Star ran a story about the day, busmess nearly over- whelmed the familv-run restaurant on N.C. 111 in Duplin County. The change from Tuesday to Wednesday is a big deal at the Wagon Wheel. It gives the staffMonday and Tuesday to rest before starting a nightlong shift of preparing and cooking the green Southern delicacy. ' "It!s sort of like changing the Super Bowl from Sunday to Monday, sad owner Bo Carpenter, who began notifying customers in August. I m a little bit apprehensive, but it's something we needed to do. The change also gives Carpenter some time off. Smcc taking over the restaurant from his in-laws 17 years ago, he has worked 70-hour weeks and usually spends his one dav off doing paperwork. In the last two or three years, the demand for collards grown by 73-year- old Zannie Atkinson has grown to the point that about 600 people were eat- ing them on Tuesdays. The staff had to come to work earlier and earlier to get the meal cooked. Privatization of PCMH reviewed by commissioners Possible change shouldn't affect Medical School amanda briggs staff wiitf.� Negotiations for the privatization of Pitt County Memorial Hospital are being reviewed by the Pitt County Commissioners.This reor- ganization hopes to change Pitt County Memorial into a private not-for-profit hospital under the control of local citizens. Few changes arc expected as a result of the privatization. ECU's School of Medicine and PCMH have been partners for the past 20 years. Patients come to PCMH and the School of Medicine for specialized treatments. If this health care is affect- ed, then the Medical School will be adversely affected the education of the medical students. Dean of the School of Medicine and Vice Chancellor for Health Sciences, James A. H a I I o c k admits that PCMH and the School of Medicine are intensely interwoven. and that the Information Tom Fbrtner said the privatization will add flexibility in the amount of care that the hospi- tal is able to provide. "The quality in the service that the hospital could provide should increase, due to the privatization. The hospital would be better able to manage their costs Former said. Cost should not change, and most people would not sec the effect of the privatization. The privatization should eliminate some of the legislative red tape that public hospital need to go through to improve their position. The hospital is in hopes that the hospital will become more com- petitive, so in turn create more jobs. Many things arc not under- stood by the public; one of the points PCMH President Dave McRae would like to stress is this is not a sale. 11Free Pregnancy Test! -�JUy1 While You Wait Free And Confidential 1 QoruiopQ anri Pppr fnunplinn Carolina Pregnancy Center V &Hours Vary as Needed 2D9-B S.Evans.

Hooters settles classaction discrimination lawsuit CHICAGO (AP) A long-standing sexual discrimination case against the Hooters restaurant chain appears to be over. A settlement has been reached that will pay a total of $2 million co men who have been denied employment by the chain known for its voluptuous T-shirt-and-shorts clad women bartenders and servers, according to a report in today's Chicago Sun-Times. . Three Chicago area men sued in 1993 and 1994 after being denied employment atHooters' Orland Park restaurant. They'll each get just over $19,000 in the settlement. . Hooters originally defended its failure to hire men in the contested positions, saying it was x providing vicarious sexual recreation and adding that female sexuality is a bona fide occupation The deal was signed earlier this month. It will be finalized after a fairness hearing in November, the Sun-Times reported. a r on nd the wot Id school is in strong support of the reorganization. "The University Medical School is in support of the privati- zation. Pitt County Memorial Hospital is our partner in the region. The privatization will ensure the Academic integrity of the medical, nuising, and allied health schools. Our business together is to try develop a health care svstem for North Eastern North Carolina. The privatization is a building block that will help tremendously; ECU School of Medicine will see the spinoffs Hallock said. Many people have been asking what type of effects the privatiza- tion will liave on the community and the care that the hospital will be giving. Director of Public "This issue has been talked about a great deal. In 1984 a legal statute was mandated that allowed non-profit pub- lic hospitals to convert to non- profit private hospitals McRae said. "The only change would be in the cor- porate struc- ture, but the control would be focused on the communi- ty. The main reasons for changing is because a pub- lic hospital can not f:ru:i'n the same as a private hospi- tal, in terms of money, outside ser- vice, disclosure, etc. The county meeting Wednesday announced that there will be further discus- sion If the hospital does stay public, some of the disadvantages would include the patients going toj other larger private hospitals, such as Raleigh, Durham, and Norfolk. Without the patients, the hospital would lose their business. This, in j turn, would be bad for the com- munity, which receives $400 mil- lion dollars in local income due to the hospital. This would also have a immense effect on the School of Medicine. "The Medical School needs for the hospital to be successful. If! one struggles, they both struggle. They are intertwined Former said.

JKNNY VlCKF.RS STAFF WHITE The teacher education programs at ECU have received full accred- itation from the National Council of Accreditation of Teacher Education � (NCATE) and the N.C. State Board of Education. "Certification, or licensure, is a state right; there- fore, ECU also has to be accred- ited by the state. ECU has a national and state accreditation for their teacher education pro- fram said Dr. lawk, the direc- tor of teacher education at ECU. ECU has been nationally cred- ited since 1961; however, every five years ECU goes through rc- accrcditation. "ECU went through it in the Spring of 19, but it has taken until now for the official word to be given said Dr. Hawk. When students graduate from .an undergraduate or graduate djtgree and want to be licensed to be a teacher, an administrator, a school psychologist, etc Dr. Hawk is responsible for making sure all of the students have met ail of the criteria. "It is important to realize that we have a very unique program at "Certification, or licensure, is a state right; therefore, ECU also has to be accredited by the state. ECU has a national and state accreditation for their teacher education program Or. Hawk director ot teacher education at ECU ECU. Students have to meet very different sets of criteria than other schools on this campus. We have so many external constraints; we have to conform to so many state and national standards. It takes a lot of energy and work for the fac- ulty and the administrators in the teacher education program; as well as for stu- � dents. We're presently gearing up for the one that will take place in the year 2001 explained Dr. Hawk. "We are proud of our education programs at ECU said Dr. Emmett Floyd, the interim dean of the ECU School of I Education. This school offers 36 professional education programs at the gradu- ate and undergraduate levels. With an enrollment of approxi- mately 1,800 students, it is the j largest in the state. Teachers must continue to receive education in order to I renew their teacher's license, "Teacher education is an ever- changing and ongoing process said Dr. Hawk. The school of education has! received national recognition inl recent years for its efforts toj improve teacher education and! the practice of education in the! public schools. SEE TEACHER PAGE 3 StreetWhys Handicap parking spaces are for the HANDICAPPED. Students, faculty and staff of East Carolina University should be aware that spaces designated for Handicap parking are strictly regulated by state statutes and federal regulations. Parking control officers enforce these regula- tions, which are as follows: It is unlawful to park or leave standing in a space designated with a sign for handicap parking, any vehicle not displaying a distinguishing license plate, removable hangtag, or temporary removable hangtag; It is unlawful for any person not qualifying for the rights and privileges extended to handicapped persons to exercise or attempt to exercise such rights or privileges by the unauthorized use of a distinguishing license plate, removable hangtag or temporary removable hangtag; x It is unlawful to park or leave standing any vehicle so as to obstruct a curb ramp or curb cut for handicapped persons. Vehicles found in violation of the above regulations will be cited and towed at the owner's expense. In order to park legally in a campus handicap parking space, an ECU handicap parking permit is required. Individuals using a "distinguishing license plate"or a "distinguishing removable hangtag" issued by their state Division of Motor Vehicles that displays the International Symbol of Access must also display a uni versity HD permit or visitor's parking pass in order to be considered legally parked. Handicap parking is located in all areas of campus in accordance with NC G.S. 136-30 and the American Disabilities Act Signs are posted which designate parking spaces for handicapped persons and state the maximum penalty for parking in the space in violation of the law. Individuals authorized for handicap parking may also utilize Staff, Commuter, Resident, and University Registered zones and spaces. Qualifying vehicles may park for unlimited periods in parking zones or spaces restricted as to the length of time parking is permitted, such as metered spaces. A Note about BICYCLE Parking. Improperly parked bicycles can create a safety hazzard. Thus, the university has developed regulations for parking bicycles on campus. As a matter of theft prevention, all bicycles should be securely locked. All bicycles should be parked at legitimate bike racks. Bicycles parked in the following manner may be impounded at the owner's expense: inside administrative or class room buildings; in stairwells or hallways of residence halls; on sidewalks, ramps or outside stairways; against or attached to any tree, bush, or plant; or against or attached to any public seating fixture. Any unregistered bicycles left on campus may be impounded until the owner can show proof of ownership.To recover an impounded bicycle, the owner must pay a fine of $5 to the Department of Parking and Transportation Services.

"Extensive searches are done to see if those marks are the same or similar to someone else The entire process could take 18 months or longer to officially obtain new logos or marks for the university. A question was also raised about the company in charge of this pro- ject. That information could not be obtained. , Information was available, how- ever, about financial projections for the university due to the new additions. "In the past there has been a history of increases due to this type of change, but if you are look- ing for a specific projection, I afh unprepared to give you that Workman said. For now ECU students wilNrait to see the uncovering of the new logos at the first of the year. Fridley continued from page I $300,000 from the state. The pro- ject has received continued sup- port from the community. "This is a real asset to students and everyone else in the district Fridley said. Fridley is also excited about the Parks and Recreation programs designed to help youth. Part of the new program includes the establishment of a Safe-House in West Greenville. The Neignborhood Services team is being developed to, keep strong neighborhoods strong Fridley said. "Strong neighborhoods sur- rounding ECU is to the universi- ty's advantage. Many cities with large universities have neighbor- hoods with high crime rures sur- rounding the university. We want to mainrain a diverse neighbor- hood around ECU Fridley said. She is also busy working on "good solid planning for city growth Fridley stated that there has been "extraordinary citizen participation" in planning for expansion. City growth projects include new bike-ways and side- walks, widening Hooker Rd and effective land ue plans. The 3-persort occupancy law is a hot issue for this race. The law was passed in 1981, before Inez's first term. She does, however sup- port the law. "There is some rationale behind this law. Condemned housing problems, parking prob- lems, and neighborhood quality are ail factors which contributed to this law Fridtey said. Fridley is sympathetic to rent costs being so high in the area. She adamantly stated that this law does not affect only students liv- ing in areas surrounding campus, it effects the entire city. Fridley, as well as other council members, feel that the 3-person ordinance was a reasonable compromise. "Most students now can afford to live in decent and attractive housing rather than having to live in some of the older homes around town Fridley continued. Fridley stated that there had only been 5 complaints of this ordinance being violated in the past 12 months. 2 of those com- plaints came from residents near the university. "My main concern is whether or not this is a true issue. I think that it has come up because this issue can be very inflammatory Inez concluded. Election day is Nov. 4.

Thursday, Sept. 25�According to campus leaders, graduate student enrollments are down this year which has resulted in a fresh mart population boom. �� The University of Tennessee's- records offices show that cveri though graduate and undergraduate student enrollment has dropped try 931 students, the freshman populaV tion has increased by almost 200. Administrators attribute the, overall enrollment decrease to tht year's decline among UT graduate students. The graduate student drop is being attributed to a strong nation- al job market and UTs current health care program. UNC-Chapei Hilf Wednesday, Sept. 24�Members of the Campus Y posted signs- declaring "Nike. Just Don't Do Ic throughout campus to protest UNCs $7.1 million contract with the sports apparel giant. The students are protesting the contract because of reputedly harsh and abusive conditions imposed by Nike on its workers. A coalition of independent groups will hold a speak-out on Nov. 7. The speak-out will address the contract, commercialism at UNC and Nike's labor conditions. fi Thursday, Sept. ,25�An armed robbery occurred near the Alderman Residence Hall and has prompted University Police to warn students to take extra safety precautions. A suspect carrying a semi-auto- matic handgun approached three female students waiting off Raleigh Street to ride the shuttle. The sus- pect reportedly made threats, grabbed one of the women by the arm and took their valuables. He fled the scene when passers-by approached. There were no injuries reported. There was a call box nearby, but the victims were apparently too shocked to get to it and use it.

ECU. deem W5MJH intotimMr. at 919.328 6366- ��T Vhat is it with ECU students when it comes to running for an office in the Student merriment Association (SGA)? it has not been two years since spring SGA elections were hly contested for faulty votes. AW,nn the past year, students have expressed their contempt over a bill, now dead, which paid tneuition of the executive board out of student fees. The ejection last week proved to be faulty also. In the most recent election the students running for legislature couldn't even find the time complete an expense report and turn it in. Since most of them didn't turn in their reports, � three names appeared on the ballot. Sut it doesn't stop there. All the students who were too lazy to turn in the expense reports w�re not willing to give up; they decided to run as write-in candidates. And if that didn't irri- tae you enough, things got worse if you were one of the students trying to vote for a write-in. Each poll had their own set of rules and guidelines for voting and none of them were the same as the rest. Voters were confused to say the least. The pollsters were uneducated when it came to procedure. While some people were told they cduld only vote for one write-in candidate, others were able to vote for 20 or more candidates if trjjsy desired. Many students left the polls in a state of confusion. Hn light of these events, the SGA has realized that the election was not well-organized. They have earned our respect by standing up and doing the right thing. In an SGA meeting held on Monday, Sept. 29 the decision was made that a new election would occur. The election will con- sist of all write-ins and will be held on October 14. Candidate who did not turn in their expense reports and won by write-in will have to run again. Imagine, our very own SGA, the political body who has been at the heart of several ethical controversies in the past several semesters, is going to do the right and fair thing. f The attorney general and the SGA have proven that they are on top of things this semester, ifhis is a small step but one which could snowball. Imagine, a student body who has faith in their Representatives. Imagine elections in which thousands of students turned out to vote. � Rr now, we at TEC arc proud of the mature step SGA has taken. We also hope they will con- tinue to govern fairly throughout the year. If they do, they may manage to not only win our inspect, but also win back the respect of the student body. i pPINION Mary WE8B Columnist Professors should be graded too i As you can see, there is a del- icate relationship between stu- '� dents and their professors, ti&e it or note, there is a sort of mterdependency. Simply X put, we need each other. How many professors and instruc- rb would actually pass if we stu- dents had to grade them on teach- ing ability, advising skills, enthusi- asm and personality? I have often wondered what percentage of ECU students feel that their professors ajrjs worthy of respect, whether they are inspiring or not, and if they are looked upon as mentors. 3 There arc two sides to every story. For each student who just Ifyes hisher professor, there's vays someone who insists that ofessors suck j'What exactly does this mean? I faainly don't know but let me put I a few ideas starting with the attendance policy. Students are required to be on rime for every class which is really no big deal, so rb argument here. However, there LETTER have been incidents when profes- sors themselves mm up five to eight minutes late. Now, we know that they are busy people (and all that baloney!) and that tardiness will occur on some occasions. But very few professors actually have the decency and grace to apologize to us lowly students when they are late. As one proceeds through the lev- els of school, one ends up buying more and more textbooks � anoth- er unavoidable fact. For those of us on a budget, this is fine as long as we are actually going to use them. Unfortunately, many rimes this is not the case. So, thank goodness for those pro- fessors who tell us at the beginning of the course that wc� don't really have to purchase the thiiji textbook � even though they consider it a "good idea Other profelsors help out students by placing copies on file at the library. What's not okay, however, is when a professor becomes very laid back and causal during classroom proceedings. He or she is so anxious to get rated well, that they bend over backward to be "buddy, buddy ObiSSusry, you will gain nothing frorjpruch a class and gener- ally speakiag, it's a big waste of time, efgffand money. SomjF professors take their expeaUKsons to the limits, quite for- gettJK that they themselves were stujgpnts at one time. I will scream ttatftext time a professor bellows at jH,that"This'i5 a 4000 level class; you're niors. "A 20 page paper, a �lass presentation plus a quiz all in the same week should be nothing for you Yeah, right. No one is demanding leniency, but is it too much to ask a professor to be some- what fair and realistic? Now, on to the horror stories and (surprise, surprise) there are a few out there, like the one about a cer- tain instructor who grabbed the computer mouse from a student and left an inch long scratch on the back of her hand. She said that the student was going too slowly and was holding up the class exercise. Another professor described in minute detail her bout with diar- rhea. She left nothing to the imagi- nation and then she wondered why all the students looked so sickened. What was she thinking of? Please don't get die impression that there arc no wonderful stories about nice professors at ECU � because there arc several. For instance, one professor is so loved by her students that a certain group of them took every course she offered. Not only was she seen as an excellent adviser and instructor, but when she threw a party for some of these students, they found out that she's a great cook as well. They still keep in touch. A few other professors stay after class to help with problems. Many let you call them at home, while others e-mail you with the informa- tion that you requested. As you can sec, there is a delicate relationship between students and their professors. Like it or not, the ,e is a sort of interdependency. Simply put, we need each other. to the Editor Reader changes opinion after letter I know a lot of you are thinking, Another bigoted letter from that cjommie communications bastard Well, please read on, because hope- folly you will change your opinion, 31 say that 1 have changed mine. K, so I'm wishy-washy; leave me alone. ActualfyTT changed my opin- ion last weekend, before my letter saw print. After a deep discussion with some friends of mine over bad coffee and greasy eggs, I realized that yes, 1 was wrong in my thoughts. 1 still feel that business owners should have a choice in allowine people into their establish- ment who choose a certain behavior, be it smokers or people who wear purple, etc. However, race is some- thing you cannot choose for yourself. Therefore, no business owner should be able to prohibit a certain race from entering hisher establish- ment. I believe it would be a better judge of society's character if every owner did have that choice and chose to do the right thing, but unfortunately, we do not live in an idealistic society. 1 commend the editors of The East Carolinian for having the courage to print an opinion that differed from the norm of society. And I sincerely apologize to anyone who was offend- ed by my recent letter. I only hope this retraction doesn't come too lit- tle, too late. I know that many let- ters wils come to the newspaper, bashing me and my former opinion, but that is the consequence of action without thought, which is ironically what began this controver- sy � the decision of the Two-Step's owner. Richard White Sophomore Communications So VOW DO YOU VAMT TO DO Tjf KT SGA W& TfflSTftAR? gWUEPHWt OPINION Columnist Keith COOPER Interracial relationships should be sincere Too often interracial dating is done far experimental purposes. For example, on college campuses, African-American male athletes often attact white, female students. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr civil rights giant, fought "tooth and nail" so that African-Americans could be created with dignity and respect by whites. He jolted the status quo by aggressively and vociferously con- demning racial segregation in America. Further, King emphasized che need for judging a man accord- ing to his character's foment and deeds rather than his race. Moreover, King's struggle was for social, political and economic justice for aH African-Americans. Dtd Dr. King shed his blood, sweat and tears to promote interracial dating and marriages in .America? If King were alive today, would he say that African-Americans who interracialfy many have overcome? Too often interracial dating is done for experimental purposes. For example, on college campuses, African-American male athletes often attact white, female students. Once athletes build a certain repu- tation, they tend to attract devoted fans of various ethnic, racial persua- sions. Another case in point is the notion that African-American women have to date white males because of a shortage of African- American men. African-American women often say that, "Blacks are either in jail, on drugs, infected with HIV, or gangsters Arc these women seriously searching for devoted African-American males who are responsible, family-orient- ed and show respect for women? It' women want to date men of anoth- er race, they should have the guts to admit it rather than use excuses to justify a yearning to experiment with those men. This also applies to men who use sleazy excuses for dat- ing women of another race. It's virtually implausible and impossible to promote harmonious, interracial relationships in a country that stresses race over qualification in the job market or Eurocentrism over equality for all Americans. Additionally, when African- Americans are predominately con- sumers rather than producers, America cannot be a paradise where African-American women and white men or African-American men and white women date and sleep together unnoticed. Perhaps African-American women should prioritize their commitments and responsibilities and challenge racial inequality and injustice. Also, white men should not talk about the num- ber of African-American men they have slept with and make them the laughingstock of barber shops, hunt- ing clubs or golf courses. African- American women are not guinea pigs; they are humans who need love and affection. African-American women, according to empirical studies, arc more likely to select mates on the basis of "earning capacity" or "ambi- tion while men are more likely to choose on the basis of physical attraction (supported by Buss and Barnes' "Preference in human mate selection"). A given African- American male may meet the earn- ingsambition standard. However, African-American women are less likely to meet the currently valued European standards of beauty (i.e. long bkrfidc hMt, blue cvs, rhtn noses, etc.). Information regarding mate availability and sex ratio indicates that African-American males are more attractive as marriage partners among white women (from Guttentag and Secord's "Too Many Women: The Sex Ratio Question") because of the existing white male shortage. However, the influence of friends, family and community arc not realized in debates on interracial marriages. A white man who recently said he would date an African-American lady was told the following by a friend: "It's okay to be friendly to them, but they have big lips; and can you imagine running your hand through their hair?" This outragcu- osh ignorant comment evidences a typical stereotype used by many whites to regard AfricanTAmerican women. In any event, interracial dating and marriages should not rake precedence over Dr. King's first and foremost priority, the acquisi- tion of economic, social and political rights for all African-Americans. LETTER to the Editor Rec patrons: Christian music wanted As a member of the staff on this campus and a taxpayer for 30 years, please allow me to comment on the music at the Student Recreation Center, of which I am also a member (and, by the way, staff pays full price!). My sister, also a staff member and taxpayer, are at the SRC every morning about 6:15 a.m. almost every morning. We have yet to hear any Christian musk. Some of the music is OK or tolerable, some of it is obnoxious to us both, music that sends messages, that beats down the spirit within and belittles women and men alike. I love music and enjoy various kinds of music, as long as it does not send the message that immortality is OK or there is no hope. The believers on this campus have every right to hear Christian music when they work out, since they also have to listen to offensive music when they work out. While we both would personally lil. for all the music played to be Christ-oriented, we know that is not within the realm of reality, but don't dare eliminate Christian music at the SRC. When "choice" and "toler- ance" are preached, why is it that everything's tolerated except any- thing having to do with Jesus? Those who it offends will just have to be in the same boat; you have to row together to get some- where, not row against each other. Fair is fair, and besides, what is the young lady who wrote the letter 'afraid of�that she might learn of Him? His message to us is hope and He commands us to love one anoth- er-how can that be offensive to any- one? Just because she hears a Christian song doesn't mean she has to become a Christian, just as 1 don't have to become a result of that to which I prefer not to be subjected. Our Creator made us with a free will. She can simply choose not to believe, like we choose not to receive the offensive music in our spirits, even though our ears hear it. Now, using your objectivity, and I understand that all those who take delight in learning take great pride in their objectivity, if Jesus is the truth, wouldn't you want to know? If He isn't, you don't believe anyway, so why would you care? You can just feel sorry for us that simply take Him at His word, just as we have compassion for you because you don't. Sandy Martin Summer Adventures Bonnie Eschelman Industry and Technology LETTER to the Editor Helms: closed nomination, closed mind Senator Jesse Helms of North Carolina is being praised by some for standing for "principle" for blocking the presidential nomination of William Weld from the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. What principle was it? Was it the principle that, under our Constitution, the President appoints ambassadors "by and with the consent" of the Senate? Hardly, since the Senate was never permit- ted to consider the nominee. In fact, it was the principle that the Constitution gets shoved aside when in-house rules of the Senate are in conflict. Under those rules, the chairman of the committee con- sidering a nominee can just refuse to bring the name up for consideration. That is the despotic rule that Chairman Helms wielded. Never mind that this is contrary to the Constitution, or that it is unfair, or that it denies the nominee his day in court. Furthermore if you disagree with the Senator, don't bother writing because you won't receie a reply. Jesse doesn't care what you or I think.

SENIO� WRITER r HILTON HEAD, SC � It's a typically sunny California morning in Cupertino, a small town nestled between Santa Cruz and San Francisco. An 18-year-old Don Zirilli and a group of his neighborhood friends have just com- pleted another set in their sold-out coliseum of a garage when the young keyboard playert mom opens the door. "Donnie, when are you going to go out and get a real job?" she asks her son who is graciously accepting a standing ovation from the make-believe crowd of old. tires, shovels, rakes and bicycles. More than three decades later. Zirilli scratches his head and asks himself that same question Zirilli is one of the founding members of PAPAQOO RlJN RUNfive- man band that grew out of humblegarage-band status to being dubbed California's Ban&.i-by then-Governor Dukmejian in 1988. To date, the bandstill tours nation- ally and this year is making a stop irVjCfeeenville on the campus of East Carolina University. "This is the biggest surprise of my lif!KZirilli said of the evolution of PAPA. "We all went to cofe � I got a psychology degree � but none of us have hiJtttp use (the degrees) yet f WHO:PAPA DOO RUN RUN WHEN:Wed Oct. 10 at 8 p.m. WHERE:Wright Auditorium TICKETS:S15 for general public S12 for ECU facultystaff $7 for ECU Students Available at the Central Ticket Office in Mendenhall INFO:328-4788 Zirilli credits luck more than anything for the long- term successes of he and co-founderbassist Jim Rush's group, pointing to the band's unlikely rise to popularity. "At the time, the Beatles were at the height of their popularity Zirilli said. "Every block had a band. Everyone was listening to the Beatles or the Beach Boys. We decided to play the Beach Boysand we got lucky Not entirely lucks, but the band did catch a few big breaks�breaks that they created. After knocking around California playing any high school gymnasium they could, they signed on to play as one of the opening acts for Tower of Power, a popular band at the time. When Tower of Power was late for its appearance, the promoter rushed over to Zirilli and asked him if his group could stay on stage. "He asked us to play longer. We had been working on a Beach Boys medley he recalled. "We stayed and played and the place came apart PAPA had found its niche. From there, the band went on the major night club circuit in California and scored big with invitations for return engagements everywhere they played. The group jammed around for a few years, gaining a strong cult following in their home state as well as in Las Vegas, often opening for the Beach Boys and Jan & Dean. At the time a couple of unknown bands. Van Halen and The Doobie Brothers, frequently opened for PAPA DOO RUN RUN. The band's sets were basically Beach Boys and Jan & Dean cover tunes as well as a few of PAPA's own originals. But it was one of those PAPA originals that propelled the band from potential fad to long-lasting mainstay. "We had a hit record in 1973 Zirilli said of "Be True To Your School "That was great. But it was the flipside. "Disney Girls that really did it for us "Be True To Your School" was big for PAPA because it showed that the band could generate its own great music as well as play cover tunes that sounded like the original bands. The tune broke into the national top-40 charts as well as garnering the top slot in California, endearing rhe band to the heavy surf culture in the state. "Disney Girls" landed the band a 15-year gig as Disneyland's house band, quadrupling their annual audiences and making them a nationally known act. "That record opened major doors for us Zirilli said. "We were able to do the Disneyland thing as well as tour nationally The band, which also includes Jeff Foskett and Bobby Gothar on guitars and Bo Fox on the drums, released a debut abim,Caiforiia Project, in the mid80s and a fol- low-up CD, IfsAIke, in 1995. While Zirilli credits luck for a lot of the group's successes, the band itself deserves a large share. The group was named California's Band because of its strong devo- tion to its home state, something that the state legislature noted with the designation. More than that, the band is fan-friendly. "We're real conscientious about the fans Zirilli said. "We are all perfectionists and we want the show to be as good as it can be. But, also, we have a lot of fun up there (on stage) and we try to bring the audience into it Their audiences range from grandchildren to grand- mothers, but Zirilli said his group will always have a spe- cial love for the college campuses. "College outings are the best he said. "They get into it more than the older crowds. Everyone is in their (bathing) suits and up dancing. But, the music tran- scends age The band draws on music from the past four decades and on a wide-range of performers from the Animals to This is not a rant. The goal: to write complete sentences and hopefully to make some sort of point. Just another ass with an opinion Old folks don't slip with age Dai.k Wii.i.i mson s EM OR v K I I I. K Mick Jagger refuses to die. So does Keith Richards. In fact, the entire ensemble that currently makes up the rock-n-roll legend known as the Rolling Stones defies Father Time. After at least three decades worth of albums, concerts and videos, one would sooner believe that the Stones would roll over in their future-made graves than sweat one more drop for the music industry. But that is not what they are all about, nor is that what rock-n-roll represents in its truest sense. Even though Mick and the gang have reached an age when they should be considering retirement options, the Rolling Stones are once again burning up stages across America and the world with yet another best-selling tour. The Stones may not exactly be the hottest thing on contemporary rock radio, but their tour has generated much more hype and excitement than most of the younger, hipper rock acts currently touring, such as Live or Counting Crows. The Stones have defied their critics and their aching joints in an amazing effort to prove that they still have what it takes to rock-n-roll. Like another rock legend, Neil Young, emphasized in one of his many great songs, "It's better to burn out than to fade away But the Stones are not the only grandparents who are redefining their careers in the entertainment business and, as a result, are being rediscovered by life-long fans as well as an entirely new generation. In fact, a simple glance at the entertainment industry within the last few years reveals that it's not the youth who are breaking waves so much as it's those people who have been in the business longer than most undergraduates have been alive. Bob Dylan, who redefined the very notion of popular music in the late '60s and early 70s alongside the Rolling Stones, is once again the man of the moment. Just a few days ago, this Jewish rocker played his canonical song, "Knockin' on Heaven's Door for the Pope. This was a historical moment for, not only the Catholic Church, but rock-n-roll in general, and only someone with Dylan's fatherly status as a rock-n-roll legend could have partici- pated. But Dylan's current hot streak does not stop with the Pope. His new album. Time (Jut of Wfiwl. is receiving rave reviews, the best reviews a Dylan album has gotten in years. IS.A. Today gave the new album a four-star rating, Entertainment Weekly honored it with its highest grade of "A" and The Arsr York Times said Dylan hasn't been this good since his hey-day in the 70s. Like the Stones, Dylan has proven that he is not down for the count. He still has something worthwhile to say. The music industry is packed wirh "old timers" who haven't lost their creative touch. Neil Young inspired and rocked with such '90s grunge bands as Pearl Jam; Willie Nelson still pulls together musical acts from all genres for his Farm Aid concert series, and Johnny Cash has cap- tured the attention and awe of the twenty-somethings. But the music industry isn't the only area in the entertainment world where the older crowd are active. Any movie buff knows how a star doesn't need to be a youthful stud to still pull in the crowds. Harrison Ford, who turned 55 this year, proved in his blockbuster film. Air Force One, that every young action-w anna-be star can learn a thing or two from an old pro: Sean Connery. who is too bald and too pudgy to still claim the James Bond title, consistently illustrates how the older one gets the sexier one can become; and Clint Eastwood, who was well into his sixties before he was honored with not one but two Academy Awards for his work on the modern-day Western classic, L'nforgiven, is still getting more offers for film projects than most actorsdirectors get in a lifetime. As for the printed word, an area where years of expe- rience and wisdom usually helps, the shakers and break- ers are still the grandfathers and grandmothers. Kurt Vonnegut Jr who has inspired an entire generation of authors, once again breaks literary standards and forms in his newest novel. Time Quake: Maya Angelou. w hose prose and poetry have almost become required reading at most schools, repeatedly creates some of the most vibrant American literature being written today; and Arthur Miller, whose great play. The Crucible, was recently trans- lated into a major feature film, shows no sign of slowing down. What these people, and many like them, illustrate is the simple concept that you are only as old as you feel. So, a word to the wise for all you youngsters out there: don't discount the generation that paved the way for you. They are still very much active in every aspect of the modern world. Look at me. I'm old. PAPA DOO RUN RUN plays Oct. 10 as part of Parents Weekend. PHOTO COURTESY OF MARKETING DEPT ZZ Top. "We like to have a good old party when we play Zirilli said.

College grads handle wiener A college education allows you to drive around in an oversized hot dog. Study hard. PHOTO COURTESY OF OSCAR MAYER Shannon Meek si u h WRITER The scene is simple to imagine. You have just graduated from college. Your future plans are to take a year off before settling into adult responsibilities. You want to relax, have adventures and tour the country side � in a w iener. This is not just an ordinary wiener, but one which brings to mind a familiar jingle, "Oh, I wish I were an Oscar Mayer Wiener F.ach year, college graduates are chosen to drive a 27- foot-long-hot dog on wheels around the country. They do promotional appearances for the Oscar Mayer company. The pilots of the Wienermobiles, better known as hot- doggers, attend events such as the Super Bowl, Mardi Gras. parades and charities. They were even asked to toss buns on the Oprah Winfrey Show, and have appeared in a Rodney Dangerfeild movie. Once the college graduates have been chosen, they attend Hot Dog High. They discover the history of Oscar Mayer wieners and more practical applications of the job, like how to maneuver a 27-foot hot dog through traffic. They are responsible for coordinating considerable amounts of their entertaining and hectic schedule. After completion of this course, they are given the keys to the Wienermobile and hit the highways of free- dom. Hotdoggers are also given valuable roles in the Oscar Mayer "Talent Search The 30 hotdoggers who are cho- sen spend the months of summer auditioning "cute" kids for all those Oscar Mayer commercials. The Hotdoggers administer these auditions and learn about the creative freedom of the company they represent. They also act as their own moveable marketing firm for Oscar Mayer. One Hotdogger from the east coast, Jason Clark, said this about his experience aboard the Wienermobile. "Driving a Wienermobile was one of the most chaotic and fun years of my life. I loved it In 1995, Oscar Mayer introduced its latest edition to the Wienermobile. This high-tech version is complete with televisions, VCR's, and even a condiment control panel � truly an innovative way to top a wiener. Tonight Show host Jay Leno has even joined in on the wiener discussion. Leno made a joke about the avocation during one of his monologues. He commented, "The Oscar Mayer Company is looking for recent college grad- uates to drive their Wienermobiles. Who says there are no good jobs for Liberal Arts majors?"

Read the prospectus carefully before y�J invest or send money J John Davis VNMsTWI Ur'KS'l VI.K EDITOl The popular Christian folk-pop musician Rich Mullins died Sept. 19 in an automobile accident in Illinois. At age 41, Mullins had spent nearly 15 years in the Christian music industry as a songwriter and recording artist. Mullins, who had a reputation for integrity and humility in a very political and image-oriented Christian music industry, left behind a legacy of moving pop music flavored with Appalachian folk influences. Mullins was well-known for foregoing the pop star's life for a humble, almost ascetic existence. He spent a large portion of his money and time working with Compassion International's relief efforts for Native Americans. The plight of Native Americans was one of the things closest to his heart, as is evidenced by his song, "The Howling where he described them as " a people bro- ken and brave in the face of so much fear driven from their homes by the greed of a nation whose treaties were as good as lit- ter along the trail of their tears Rather than focusing on his image, he was usually wearing a T-shirt and jeans both on stage and at church. He often performed without shoes. Frank and honest, he would talk to his audiences as if they were sitting with him around a dinner table. Mullins began his musical career while attending col- lege. In 1981, he formed a band called Zion, which enjoved minor success, but only recorded one demo. Mullins gained entry into the music industry via that album because Christian pop star Amy Grant had heard his song "Sing Your Praise to the Lord" and wanted to record it. Soon thereafter, Mullins signed a contract with Reunion Records. He recorded for that label for over ten years, releasing seven albums and a musical. Mullins enjoyed mild success from his Christian radio hits "Awesome God" and "My One Thing the latter of which featured a hammered dulcimer as the signature instrument and marked the beginning of his exploration in Celtic folk music. Unrelenting in his pursuit of artis- tic improvement and quality in his craft, Mullins refused to scttle-for radio success. In 1993, Mullins released what is probably his best and most important record, A IJrurgy, A lsgay, and a Ragamuffm Baiut. Mullins' entire career was centered around the dual themes of thirst for contact with God and the enjoyment of God's creation. It was this album that saw the artistic and musical realization of these themes. Centered around the liturgy of an Episcopal church service and the "legacy" of American culture, the album was a strong step in Mulljs' development of His interest in Celtic folk music. Filled with dulcimeje, bag- pipes and tin whistles, the album carried an otherworld- ly aura about it that bespoke of Mullins' deep, sparkling affection for America and for his faith. Mullins released two alburns after that and wrote a musical which he was in the process of performing around the country. The musical, Canticle of the Pkitu, focused of the life story o'St. Francis of Assisi and fea- tured musical contributions by members of Christian pop band DC Talk. Mullins was in the process of negoti- ating a new record contract when he died. Though he was a powerful voice in the industry, Mullins had a humility and selfless- ness, that, coupled .with a dreamer's down- Rich Mullins strove to find a balance between heaven and the stuff of earth. PHOTOS COURTESY OF REUNION REC0R0S to-earth faith, made him stand out from the dime-a- dozen sleepy Christian pop acts. Mullins himself wa under no illusion about his position in the spotlight. He once wrote in his journal, "1 am not very good being religious and don't really feel bad about not being good. I do wish I loved God and His creatures more These past few weeks, there has been a nation of Christian music fans, artists. Native Americans, family and friends who would stand to testify that Mullins did indeed have that love and spent his short life spreading it throughout the country he loved so dearly.

We will ermine the books, albums, movies and Oelevison shows we feel deserve further exploration. It's cpe stuff we dug bqgk in the day � � In 1981, Pink Floyd followed a trend that was prevalent at the time: they made a musical. David Bowie had Ziggy Stardust, Bette Midler had The Rose, and the list goes on i and on. But, as was i their style. Pinky- Floyd did things fffl bit different, faftf- say the leapt. The end result has beet called everything from an acid trip on film to an attack on the senses. In fact, martf argue that in order to fully understand it you must be high, but I'll take my chances evaluating it with- out that experience. Pink Fd first broke on the music scene in the '60s as a four-piece head- ed up by Syd Barrett and Roger Waters. Eventually, Barrett asked his former guitar teachcrMhvid Gilmour to join the band. Then�, the way to a show one night, it was suggested that Barrett not get picked up and the band was suddenly a four-piece again. After breaking new ground with their exper- imental and hypnotic music, the band went on to become one of the biggest bands of the '70s. Their legendary album Dark Side Of The Moon remains one of the best selling alburn of ail time. ? In 1979, the band released, double album set called The Wall. It told the story of a rock star named Pink Floyd who had done too many drugs, played too many shows and pushed himself too hard. The result is a short trip over the edge. Shojtly after its release, the band began working with Alan. Parker on a film vejsi6n of the story Two years later, t'lte ljill was released in theaters. Due to the need for expressing thoughts for visual comprehension, the movie contains songs not on the album, and the album contains songs not in (bvie, thus making each slightly ndent of the other, c movie blends real time, flash- dementia and animation in a ay that can be hard to follow at times. Also, there are only two or three actual lines of dialogue, so the music is vital to the story. The first song, "When the Tigers Broke Free (Pt. 1) is during a scene in a bunker with Pink's dad. Next we are in Pink's hotel room as the maid tries to enter for cleaning. As the door hits the chain lock, Pink's memo- ry flashes back to a concert riot and the roller coaster ride begins. Due to the confusing nature of the story, the best way to watch The Wall is with a group of people. It also helps if at least one of the people has some background knowledge of Pink Floyd, the band. I personally have seen it more times than I can count and I still pick up new things every time. One insight into the movie given by Gilmour is that Waters wrote it about himself and his inability to cope with fame. Whether you look at it from this perspective or from a totally fictional point-of-view, the movie is still a mon- stet of a story made beautifully into a movie. Parker and the band used cre- ative animation and acting to an extent that made The Wall a masterpiece in its own right. This cult classic is not for the weak of heart or mind, but it is also definitely worth checking out. nGot Something To Say?

October 2. 1997 sports The East Carolinian Program urges athletes to strive for academic succpss Athletes continue to make the grades in the classroom TRACY M. LACBACIt ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR The typical college student has a lot to get done each day. Between going to classes, keeping up with studies, working, and socializing, there is not much extra time for any- thing else. So how in the world do student athletes manage to fit prac- tices, games, and study hours into their schedules on top of else that needs to be done? Marvin Mitchell, assistant athlet- ic director for student development, said that mandatory freshman study halls and tutoring programs are a necessity when it comes to college athletes and keeping grades where they should be. "All freshman student athletes are required to attend mandatory study hall sessions Mitchell said. "Once the athlete meets the GPA requirement that is set, the sessions are no longer mandatory" Some sports have higher require- ments than others, as the head coaches for each sport determine the minimum for their athletes. "Having the coaches set the requirement is the best approach because the coaches do the recruit- Freshman business mangement major, Scctt Godwin a Pirate football player gets help from Jeanie Paschal! a graduate student, audiology major. PHOTO BY AMANDA PROCTOR ing Mitchell said. "Coaches know their athletes well enough to set rea- sonable standards Assistant Athletic Director Henry VanSant agrees that the mandatory freshman sessions are beneficial, as not one of ECU's teams has an average GPA below a 2.0. "Many of our athletes would do okay without the requirement, but the teams cannot afford to lose even one VanSant said. The athletes are at an advantage to have a Student Development team that is so concerned for them VahSant said that it is important for arhler.es to come forward and seek (he help that is available when they (are struggling or having diffi- culty in a class. Gttting athletes off to a strong start academically has helped them to achieve a higher graduation rate than that of regular full-time stu- dents. "The goal of our program is to help our athletes realize that there are more reasons to be in school other than to play sports Mitchell said. "The most important goal is to get an education According to Mitchell, many stu- dents fail to see the benefits of such programs until after their schooling is all over. "Sometimes athletes will com- plain that they don't want to attend study sessions, or they don't have time to meet with their tutor, but someday their hard work will pay off Mitchell said. ECU athletes are pan of a pro- gram called NCAA Champs Life Skills, which aims to build a "total student athlete" through participa- Aaron a freshman football player, gets tutored by junior Collin Wilcox, who is an occupational therapy major.

"Many times, all that people hear about are the actual games, or the negative things that happen to ath- letes. The positive things that ath- letes do, such as community service hours, often go unrecognized Mitchell said. Mitchell joined the ECU Student Development staff in Dec. 1996 and is currently in the process of fine-tuning the mentor program. This semester, the program is focus- ing on a group of five athletes to evaluate positive and negative results so that a more productive program will exist in the future. Last year, the teams bringir the highest grade point aver were the men's golf team and i women's cross country team, the putters posted a team average, t 3.0, the runners 3.1 average was'd&; highest of all ECU sports teams. Soccer player triumphs on college level Amy Horton anchors women's team Steve losev SENIOR WRITKR In only her second season as goalkeeper for ECU's women's soccer team, sophomore Amy Horton has shown herself to be an valuable mem- ber of the Pirates. Since she was a child, she took her team to vic- tory after victory, as well as numerous champi- onships. She has carried her drive to win from her elementary school fields to Bunting Field and is an essential part of the Pirates' defense. Horton was born in Ashevilie and moved to Raleigh when she was six years old. A year later, just like many other kids her age, she caught the urge to play soccer. "My brother played the season before I start- ed, and I thought ir looked like fun Hnrron said. Her teams always seemed to have good luck when she played. The team she played on in middle school won the conference championship two years in a row, a feat that had much to do with Horton's contributions. Until her freshman year in high school, she played on the field. Her coach then decided she could be a talented goalkeeper. "Since I played basketball, my coach thought that I would be good at using my hands at the goal Horton said. The switch turned out to be a good move. That year, Horton's team made it to the state semi-finals. Her senior year, the team got to the quarterfinals. The highlight of her pre-coilcge career was in 1995, when she played on a club team that won the national championship. Horton played soccer along with basketball all four years in high school. She also ran cross coun- try her freshman year. Horton is a communica- tions major who hopes ro get a job in the field of public relations or advertising after she graduates. When asked, Horton speaks fondly of the experi- ences she has had on the Pirates. "It's been really great see- ing how much we've improved she said. "The win against Old Dominion was pretty big Her parents, former high school athletes themselves, continually supported her decision to play sports and her twin brother runs track and cross country at UNC Wilmington. "My family has always been really supportive Horton said. "They come to my games even now PIRATES Tracy Laubacrt, Assistam Sports Editor 31-21, ECU The Pirates look for their second victory to turn their season around ami get back on a winning trad. redictions � Amy Horton Celeste Wilson, Managing Editor 17-13, ECU Syracuse can't handle improved running by Pirates.

Bye week allows Pirates to heal wounds for Saturday's game with Syracuse Syracuse hosts ECU this Saturday in Ganier Dome AMANDA ROSS SPOUTS EDITOR After having the last two weeks off, the Pirates head to the Carrier Dome to take on the Syracuse Orangemen. Syracuse is 2-3 this season, while ECU is 1-2. Both teams are coming off bye weeks and ECU has used the extra time to heal up some players injured dur- ing the South Carolina match up. Head Coach Steve Logan said they have lost free safety Tavares Taylor for the rest of the year, with a torn ACL. CONFERENCE Taylor is expected to have surgery in the next two weeks and and won't hit the football field again until spring ball. "We're going to be without our start- ing free safety, Logan said. "Tavares Taylor tore his knee up; hell be out for the season. He's already been red-shirt- ed so he's going to lose his junior season, the bulk of it anyway Logan said a true freshman will be used in Taylor's place. i "We're going to activate a true fresh- man, Kevin Ward to go ahead arid give us some depth at free safety Kelvin Suggs will also be out of the ECU secondary for the Syracuse game with an ankle injury he sustained against the Gamecocks. "I don't think Suggs will play, but he is making better progress tharft Afc thought he would Logan said. Logan also mentioned that many1 of the ankle injuries suffered at West Virginia have been bothering some play- ers. "The rest of the kids, the ankles that we sustained up at the West Virginia game are starting to come back around Logan said. "Now This week's games ?

"He was in pads on Sunday and ran some routes full speed Logan said. "He's still a little bit tender, so we're going to wait and get off the astroturf before we bring him back The Pirates have worked intensively on their running game which has only gained 154 yards on the ground for a total of three games. "We took Tuesday and Thursday (of last week) and went out in full pads, we never do that Logan said. "We did that to try to address our running game situa- tion. Go full speed and let the kids con- tinue to work on the running game Saturday's game will provide a better idea of the progress of the running game. "How we come out of it, I don't know Logan said. "You ever know until you play another game. Trying to discern what you're doing when you're practicing against yourself, I've never been able to tell what's going on. It's just difficult, so this Saturday will provide a little more definition Part of the running game that has stalled this year has been Scott Hariey, who suffered a severely sprained ankle during the West Virginia game. As the nation's leading returning rusher, I larley has only gained 84 yards for three games. Logan has held Hariey out of practice and contact drills to ensure his ankle recovers fully. "We held him out of all practice this week (last week) and kept him in the training room and brought him out and let him run and catch the ball and run some routes, these kinds of things but we never hit him Logan said. Despite the injuries, Logan feels good about the effort his players are giving. "I would be in a panic if we were not playing hard, but the kids are playing hard on both sides of the ball Logan said. "Nobody has ever given up one snap. As long as the kids play hard, we can coach then we will get to where we SEE ECU.

The East Carolinian Harris Teeter Your Neighborhood Food Market Sue" -4�VOS Church leaders target Sunday sports legues LEDYARD, Conn. (AP) Some local church leaders say it is time for parents to pick Sunday School over Sunday sports. In a letter dated Sept. 18� leaders of five area churches urged parents to unite against regional youth athletic leagues that schedule ball games that conflict with Sunday services. "This may even require the tough decision that participation in worship and Christian education offer- ings take precedence over other activities on Sunday the letter states. The church leaders want parishioners to convince athletic leaders in the region not to schedule games for Sunday mornings. They also said it is unfair for children to have to choose between their obligations to a sport and their church. Four hospitalized after bleacher collapse WEST HAVEN, Conn. (AP) Four people were hospi- talized Saturday, and more than a dozen people suf- fered minor injuries, when a section of bleachers col- lapsed just before a football game at the University of New Haven. The accident happened on the visiting side of Robert B. Dodds Stadium, just before the 1 p.m. kick- off of the game between New Haven and the University of Indiana at Pennsylvania. Fire officials said many of those sitting in the collapsed section were members of the Indiana, Pa band. AH four of the injured were band members. Two were treated and released at The Hospital of Saint Raphael. The other two were expected to be released Saturday afternoon. The game went on as scheduled, and the band per- formed at halftime without the injured members. Syracuse keeps Marv on the wall SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) Unless there is a public clamor, Marv Albert's spot in the hall of fame at Syracuse University's S.I. Ncwhouse School of Public Communications is safe. Dean David Rubin said Friday. The sportscaster's photograph will stay up on the wall despite his guilty plea Thursday to assault and bat- tery charges in the sexual assault case involving a Virginia woman. Albert attended Syracuse in early 1960s before leav- ing for NYU. His photo hangs among other famous Syracuse graduates lauded for their professional achievements. Rubin said he needs to gauge reaction from faculty. students and alumni before before giving any thought to removing Albert's photograph. "I wouldn't (remove it) because I don't think it is appropriate for me to do that Rubin said. ' I'm not going to make it an issue myself. If this is an issue, it has to become an issue because legitimately there are numbers of people in this school who think it is If the photo were taken down, it would be the first time a graduate's photo has been expelled, Rubin said. Greenwood man set slalom record COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) A 30-year-old Greenwood man now holds the world record in men's slalom. The International Water Ski Federation this week approved Jeff Rodgers' performance. Rodgers is the first man to run a complete pass of six buoys at 10.25 meters (41 feet off the 75-foot rope) in a record-capabilitv tournament. He did it Aug. 31 at Trophy Lakes in Charleston and went on to round one buoy at 9.75 meters (43 feet off) to move the world record into the next line length. ' I'd been skiing deep into 41, but I really wasn't expecting a run like that Rodgers said. Bob Corson, chairman of the IWSF tournament council, said Rodgers' run met the myriad technical cri- teria for a record, including everything from the slalom course to the position of the judges' towers to boat path and time. Clemson signs $8 million Nike endorse- ment deal CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) The Nike swoosh is going to join the tiger paw as part of Clemson uniforms under a multimillion dollar endorsement deal the school has signed with the shoe company. The deal was outlined Wednesday for the faculty athletic council. It is worth J8 million over eight years, faculty athletic representative Cecil Huev said. Nike will provide shoes for the basketball, football, soccer, baseball, golf and cheerleading squads and uniforms for all but baseball. The uniforms and shoes make up the bulk of the deal, with the remainder in cash supplements to coach- es. Basketball coach Rick Barnes will get $200,000 this year for his endorsement, the same amount guaranteed in his contract with the school, The (Greenville) News reported Thursdav. Florida State and North Carolina also have multi- sport deals with Nike.

They finished 19 strokes off team champion Eastern Kentucky, who scored a 10-over 578 for the tournament. Eastern Kentucky and College of Charleston tied after 36 holes, buy EKU won the first playoff hole to win the team title. Sophomore Marc Miller contin- ued to pace the Pirates, finishing in ninth place. His three-over par 145 was just four strokes off the individual champion, Ryan Tucker ECU continued from page 9 of Western Kentucky. Miller's ninth place marked his second straight top ten finish, while the Pirates have had at least one golfer finish in the top ten in every tour- nament so far this fall. Pirate sophomore Stephen Satteriy recorded a two-over 73 in Tuesday's round to move him up from 63rd to 35th place. Senior Kevin Miller also finished 35th after shooting a 76 on the final 18. The Pirates next tournament is the prestigious Adams Cup of Newport, held in Newport, R.I. on Oct. 15-16. Head coach Kevin Williams is hoping for a strong showing from ECU at that tourna- ment. "I was disappointed with our want to be. The kids want to play good football on offense and defense and can make that hap- pen. We just need to work togeth- er more as a unit and it will come The Pirates have also been practicing to keep Syracuse's quar- performance here (in Wilmington) Williams said.

The Pirates' victory came behind a solid defensive effort. Three ECU players finished with at least 19 digs with fresh- man Liz Hall leading the way. Hall, who also had a game high of 18 kills, ended the night with 23 digs for her ninth double- double of the season. Along with Hall, Shannon Kaess recorded 19 digs while Cinta Claro added 19 digs and 13 kills. Also playing a large part Tuesdav was ECU's blocking. ECU collected 10 team blocks to UNCWs seven, with Sarah Kary leading the charge. Kary finished witb two solo blocks, tjlree block assists, and had eight kills and six digs. Setter Kristin Warner also had five block assists in adoption to her 38 assist. ' Though the Pirates camtf away with a victory, head coach Kim Walker hopes it was a learning experience. The Pirates weie up 14-3 in the third game before let- ting UNCW back in and finaHy losing 14-16. ��' ' "It was another conference win which is good, but we need to' learn to puv&ams away when we have the chance Walker said. ; "We had hem on the ropes early1 ; and didH'ufinish them.

"Donovan McNabb is one of those guys who you defend the ini- tial play and then he runs around and starts a whole new play fours seconds later, and he's better on the second play than he is the first Logan said. McNabb's ability to scramble around to make the plays, will test the Pirate defense. "He's a special guy Logan said. "When he's in the pocket, I'm a little more comfortirafe then when he gets outside the pocket. That's when the fun really begins.

You are at Tyler Hall. It would take too long to walk and too much time to find a parking space. The bus is iot going where you need to go. You think about you? rollerblades. Now if only you could remem- ber the rules for rollerblading on campus. According to Dean of Students Ron Speier, rollerblading rules are no different than ones for bicycles. "It is to be treated like any other wheeled vehicle on the streets, no side- walks or steps and in no campus buildings. This applies to students and non-students Speier said. Senior Henry Brown used to rollerblade to class but was unsure as to what the rules are now. "1 know we can't go in buildings any- more Brown said. So what happens to those who disobey the rules? "If an officer notices it a verbal warning is given and if the student refuses to coop- erate, heshe is referred to the Dean of Students Sgt. LaFrance Davis of the ECU Police Department said. Speier stated the policy for handling those students who disobey the rules is to warn them "not to do it and to cease and desist "Since people could get hurt, they need to be told not to do it because the universi- ty could be held liable Speier said. Brown and his friends said they have never been stopped on campus. "I've never been told anything by offi- cials Brown said.Putting signs on campus stating where you can skate may not be effective. "I pay fees, I should be able to skate where I want as long as I don't damage any- thing Brown said. "Blades ruin floors and cost money to repair and repolish. Blades also take paint off of outside handrails said Dr. George W Harrell, assistant vice chancellor for admin- istration. "Some concerns that people have is if they are on the road they could get hit by cars Speier said. "But campus speed limit is 15 mph, so sometimes skateboarders and rollerbladers arc going faster than cars. If everyone obeys the rules, there should not be a problem Rollerblading is not just for transporta- tion, it is a way to spend time with friends and have fun. Brown and several friends often arrange to skate at night on campus. "I skate at night rather than the day because it's more fun, you can go faster Brown said. "I try and avoid people Senior "Catoe" Catoe said. One recent night Catoe and five friends gathered at a parking lot to go rollerblading. They stood together in the parking lot with their rollerblades and protective gear on, waiting for another friend to arrive. A new face approached the group and introduced himself. He is invited to join them and treated like they had known him for years. "It's really cool to meet new people that you have something in common with Catoe said. Sophomore Kelsey Wheeler advertises when a group of rollerbladers is going to get together by putting fryers around campus and by calling people. She likes to get together with people to leam new things and to have fun. Students question safety of buses Students feel rides risky, unpleasant � especially when it rains VlCKIK Bl.CIIAN FEATURE WRITER Bodies of students arc pressed against each other. Heavy bookbags tug and shift on their shoulders and in their laps. Sweat, mingled with the overpowering smell of perfume, aftershave and the pungent smell of Doritos fills the air. Knuckles, gripped white, hang on for dear life as the bus turns the corner. Welcome ro the ECU Shuttlebus at 2 p.m. I Two girls plan their weekend while checking out a hot guy in front of them. A guy tells his friend sitting beside him how drunk he got the night before and how mad he got at a bouncer for not letting him in underage. Students shove, kick and step on each other to get a seat on the bus. A girl on crutches hobbles toward the bus in hopes of getting a seat. While trying to balance her bookbag, some- one bumps into her and sends her flying. Lucky for her one of her friends caught her fall, but not before yellingHey!

Granted, it was her fault for not loo vine, but we were going so fast leaving Minges that we almost didn't stop in time Incidents like these happen too often. Sgt. LaFrance Davis, head of Crime Prevention at the ECU Police Department, said no incidents like this have been reported yet this semester. However, if such an incident does occur off I campus (past Fourth Street), it is the responsibility of the Greenville Police Department. "When an accident involving a bus occurs, a formal report needs to be filed and the proper forms need to be filled out Davis said. "Once we get on the scene, the bus driver is looked at to see if heshe is capable of driving and if the correct standards are being met. If not, it is filed at the DMV" "I'm not trying to give the bus drivers a hard time, but it's hard not to get I angry when you get thrown from one side of the bus to the other and have to catch yourself from flying through the windshield said Kathryn Hendrix, a junior.

BANK I KM) KK.vn he writer You have heard the complaints that ECU buses are over-crowded and late. Students say bus drivers are uncaring and are there just to pick up a check. But is that the whole story? Some students don't think so. More than 40 drivers share the same daily frustra- tions as other working students. Along with school work, these drivers also have to worry about the lives of others. Driving a 26,000 pound bus with over 40 pas- sengers with eager cars racing to work is not the best situation to be in-not to mention the hundreds of "jay- walkers" along Tenth St. Driving a bus is not always a picnic. "Commuter shuttles are stressful because there are not enough buses to handle the students and the stu- dents who are late to class because of it said Dean Wheeler, a driver. Senior William Stanley, who has been driving for more than five years, offers a variety of tips to make transit less stressful for students and drivers. Most commuter passengers experience crowded buses between ten till the hour and five after the hour. Times other than that the buses are empty to one-third full. "It would be good to plan ahead; getting to shuttle stops half past the hour will help your chances of hav- ing a seat to yourself Stanley said. Bus drivers point out that transit has a number of routes that run quite smoothly. Silver, Red, Brown and Pirate Ride are consistently on time and less crowded. It would be a great idea to use these routes instead of commuter if at all possible. "Passengers should allow the buses approximately five minutes to get to the designated stops (for non- shuttle routes) said Tanesha Jones, who has been dri- ving for a year and a half. The inconsistent traffic flow of Greenville makes it impossible for all routes to be exactly on time. If you still find yourself on a crowded bus, then check to see if you can take an earlier time. Doing so can help you beat the crowd of people who rush to class.

What stu- dents may not be aware of is the fact that bicycle theft is a recurring problem on campus. Every year over 100 bicycles are stolen from around campus. According to Johnnie I'mphlet, captain of patrol division for the ECU Police Department, last year there were 353 counts of larceny and over half were bicycle theft. Not only are bicycles being stolen, but parts are too. If the bicy- cle is not locked properly it is possi- ble for pans such as tires, seats and even the bike frame r) be stolen. This enables the thic- to take pars from different bikes a.K) pu- the i together to make a new bike. There are a couple of ways to prevent bicycle theft. First, it is important to register your bike. "If your bicycle comes on campus and you are a student or staff your bicycle must be registered. That's what the regulations say said Johnnie Eastwood, external opera- tions manager for parking and trans- portation services. .cycle registi � registration is � first permit on thi issued on July 9, f � to register your bicycle � contact the ECU Police f Department at 328-6787 W &�����WVW According to the ECU Police Department, this regulation is not strongly enforced. The police and parking services officials do not walk around checking bicycles for decals, as they do cars, but if a bike is found anywhere besides the bike SEE BIKE.

Ul The East Carolinian Pedestrian-bicycle collisions potential problem on-campus Narrow sidewalks contribute to threat Holly Harris FE.VTl RK WRITER The sky is blue, the sun is shining and you are happily hurrying to chemistry when WHAM! Suddenly you're looking up at the blue sky with a bicycle track across your face. Though it is technically against university policy for bicycles to be ridden on sidewalks, paved areas like the one in front of the Wright place act as main thoroughfares, so it is a rule that is rarely if ever enforced, according to Sgt. Mike Benson of the ECU Police Department. In fact, due to planning and lay- out it is impossible to access bike parking in crowded areas like the GCRawl racks without riding on the sidewalk. Adding to the problem are paths that are far too slim for bicyclists to reasonably navigate without weav- ing in and out of slower traffic. "There's just not a place to ride with the narrow roads said Sgt. LaFrance Davis of the ECU Police Department. "The university keeps beautifying, but they're Bike continued Irom page 2 racks it will be impounded. "Bicycle registration shows proof of ownership and gives us the authoriry to enforce the law if neccessary Eastwood said. The advantage to having bicycles reg- istered is that the students' information is on file. When students register their name, social security number, local and home address and phone number, the bike's serial number and description are all on file. "When a bike is found or recovered, ignoring the bicyclist's needs Despite the fact that on most busy class days the casual observer can notice at least 12 near-miss bicyclepedestrian collisions within a half hour, there seems to be little relief in sight. "We're looking at that problem and realize there's a need, but real- ly we haven't made a lot of progress in that area partially because to do it we would be looking at bike paths in part of the roadway we would have to do away with some on-street parking" said Dr. George W Harrell, assistant vice chancellor for administration and finance. Davis added that the new con- struction has definitely provided more sidewalks, but reduced the amount of legitimate places to bike. Collisions are normally not reported to the campus police department unless one party needs medical attention, so there is some doubt as to whether the university- is truly aware of the problem. Only two such accidents were reported last year, but there has already been one reported this semester. For now, the only apparent solu- tion, according to former Bicycle Officer Benson is to get off and navigate on foot when approaching a large mass of pedestrian traffic. All agree that the problem is, Benson said, a matter of courtesy students have 30 days to claim it, then at the end of those 30 days if not claimed, it becomes property of the state Eastwood said. "Bicycle registra- tion is free and a one- time thing I'mphlet said. "Once a student registers their bike it is good throughout their col- lege career Because the regis- tration is a perma- nent thing, if at any time students' bicy- cles are stolen off campus the ECU police can give neces- ?ji information, such as the serial number, which can be Students walk bites through the pedestrian walkway in front of the Wright Place.

This can even be done once a student has graduat- ed. 'What you need to do is call up and say 'Look I'm Johnnie Eastwood. My bike's just been stolen and I need to get the serial number, etc. from vou Eastwood said. The second way to prevent bicycle theft is to always lock up your bike, even if you arc- just running in to check a grade or will just be a few minutes.
