THURSDAY OCTOBER 23, 1997 EAST CAROLINA UNIVERSITY GREENVILLE, NORTH CAROUNA VOLUME 73. ISSUE 16 Year 2000 signals potential computer problems Computers may have trouble adapting to new century AMBER TT I M STF f U KIT ER The end of the world may not happen in the year 2000, but a huge, worldwide computer "meltdown" is quite possible. When the new century starts, computer systems will have problems changing to the new year. Because computer programmers decided to eliminate true dates in data fields and opted to use the "year-in-century" format, many hardware and sofrware systems use data which only store the final two digits of the year. Many of them will want to read 1900 rather than 2000. According to the Daily Tar Heel, computers will have trouble distinguishing between a day in 1905 and 2005. "We're a lot further now than anyone else in the state said Blake Price, director of Computer and Information Services. Approximately 4000 computers are presently on campus. "Not all will have a problem said Price. Blake Price Director of CIS "Changes were made in the manufacturing of the newer PC's to avoid this situation Some effects of the possible "meltdown" include erasing bank accounts. On a more personal note, student record systems may be lost. Such things as graduation dates and financial status may be messed up along the way. ECU is working out the problems themselves. State funding was not plentiful for the reason that state officials do not believe that this is a large problem. "Universities won't get a lot of money because this is not considered critical said Price. ClearK; this should all be taken care of by- January 1, 2000. "We're looking at Dec. 1998 for this problem to be solved 1 said Price. "A lot of work has to done between now and then Computers, like the ones in the Umstead computer lab, may not be able to distinguish between 1905 and 2005. PHOTO BY JONATHAN GREEN Parents Weekend held on Yom Kippur Reaction continues to poor planning Hoi.n HRRIs , I l I WHI IKK This year's Parents Weekend was noc the first time ECU has been accused of poor planning, and many students were not surprised at the university's most recent faux pas. Parents Weekend coincided with Yom Kippur, the most solemn holy day of the Jewish calender. "The fact of the matter is why did thev put parent's weekend three days after fall break said Debra O'Neal, faculty advisor for Hillel, the campus Jewish organization. Not only had many students seen their families the weekend before, but for many, Yom Kippur is a family holiday that is to be observed at home. Instead of joining in the festivities these students and their parents were spending Saturday in fasting, prayer, and memorials in honor of the deceased. "I really wanted my parents to see that aspect of my fraternity and meet everybody Sophomore Paul Kaplan, said. "I think the university knew we were a minority and could be overlooked According to Laura Sweet, assistant dean of students, it was not a lack of knowledge of the holiday on the university's part, but rather a lack of available weekends on which to plan the parent's visitation. "We looked at the three games knowing that it was a Jewish holiday; it was the best date we had before us Sweet said, explaining that other important events had already been planned and the university was reluctant to have the weekend too late in the season, in November. In order to participate in both activities some students prayed in a local temple on Friday and participated in university events on Saturday. "Its just a shame they were put in that position" O'Neal said, "parents have called me from summer on, asking "what are you going to do?" and I could do nothing O'Neal cited examples of freshman students whose parents were already concerned about their child attending school in the south, where the Jewish population is considerably lower. "The example it set for the parents is sad. " O'Neal said. Like many students, O'Neal sees the University's planning as poor judgment, not malice. Still, the sting is there. "1 would understand if it was any- other Jewish holiday" says senior Jake Pern, president of Hillel, "1 guess a lot of people just felt left out PARKING VIOLATION 4 " TODAY '� sunny High 60 Low 366 Students, like freshman Holly Hall, are frustrated over the price of campus parking citations.

Parking tickets: a lucrative business Natasha Phillips s I f V RI I K R Every ECU student knows about on- campus parking problems; however, not everv student knows the statistical data regarding tickets, appeals, tows, and unpaid parking tickets. According to the Parking and Traffic Services, thousands of parking citations are issued every month. During the fall, approximately 2,360 parking citations are issued per month; however, ticket disbursement peaks during the Spring term with approximately 3, 305 parking citations being dispersed on a monthly- basis. After the Spring term ends, summer school begins. Summer sessions have the lowest ticket disbursement with an average of 928 parking citations per month. "If I write an individual a citation, it takes around RETURN ADRESS three to six hours to electronically get the ticket into our system; however, it usually Campus parking? takes longer to get the cicket information into the University's system, said Johnnie Eastwood, external operations manager with Parking and Traffic Services. Do you believe that ticket prices are too high? "The prices are too high for freshman, $25 is a sufficient ine. Erica Jamison freshman "It's easier if the person promptly pays the ticket because the process can be manually- done, which only takes a few minutes and saves a lot of time. If a person decides to appeal, the process can take between two to four weeks Eastwood added. Approximately 11 percent of the dispersed citations were paid. An issued parking citation can be paid in two ways. First, payment can be satisfied by traditional means: cash, check or credit card. There is, however, another alternative. If an individual has their citation voided through the appeals process, then their citation is considered to be "paid About 35 percent of the appealed citations were approved, 52 percent were denied, and 12 percent were reduced to a lesser CAMPUS MAIL How do ECU'S tickets compare to other universities?

To appeal a citation, Eastwood said, the ticketholder must fill out an appeal form. When the form is filled out, the ticketholder has the choice of submitting their argument in writing or going before a board. If a written argument is submitted, the hand-written form must be turned in with the citation. If the verbal argument is chosen, a request form must be submitted with the original form. The boards that consider the arguments meet once a week. There are three separate boards: two boards deal solely with written SEE TICKET PAGE 3 Do you believe that Freshmen should be allowed to have on campus parking? "No, I believe that with the shortage of parking spaces that are available, less students should be given passes. Mckensie Thompson student THURSDAY opinion7 Limited tailgating causes traffic problems lifestyle8 Get into the Halloween mood with scary movies Parking reduced on game days TaHgating has become an overcrowded event, made worse by roped-ctt and rarely used alumni parking. PHOTO BY AMAN0A PROCTOR Increased need for alumni parking causes crunch Angela koesig STVKK WRI'I'KR Parking: it's a scarce commodity on campus. This issue is not only a concern during the week, but also on the weekends of home football games when thousands of fans fill Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium to see the Pirates play and many of these fans have to walk several blocks � past an empty parking lot � to get into the stadium. One such empty parking lot is the one designated for Pirate Club parking � a lot not intentionally left deserted. According to Dr. Henry VanSant, associate director of athletics, half of a lot near Charles and Creenville Boulevard is roped off for those who support athletics and this is the only such area roped off for this purpose. "People have private parking and this is a benefit of their donations and these are typically for th larger donations VanSant said. Pirate Club members must spend approximately $500 to receive a parking space. "They have to give a $300 gift and have" purchased at least two (season) football tickets said Mark Hessert. associate director of the Pirate Club. This year the number of Pirate Club members increased significantly, causing a parking problem. To deal with the increase from a need for approximately 225 spaces to the current need for approximately 490 spaces, parking had to be roped off near Harrington Field. "These spaces are assigned to those people regardless of whether they come to the games 01 not VanSant said. These empty spaces are what make ECl students angry. "Obviously we know now that 475 spaces are not going to be used up Hessert said. "But what would you do if you were in our position?" Hessert said that both the money raised through the Pirate Club and student fees are necessary t run the athletic department and the department tries to keep the interests of both parties in mind.

Johnson, who will step down at the end of November. The four are Tracey Clinc, Fat Evans, Ann McKown and Windy Sotolongo. Cline, Evans and McKbwn arc all lawyers in private practice, although all three have worked in the Durham District Attorney's office. Sotolongo has been an assistant county attorney in Dujtham since 1990, specializing in representing the Department of Social Services. John Bowman, president of the local bar association, said Monday the nomination period for the judgeship closed at the end of business Friday. The new step in the process will be balloting by about 700 members of the local bar. Then the names of the top three vote-getters will be sent to Gov. Jim Hunt for an appointment. Food Bank director Kirkpatrick resigns RALEIGH (AP) Greg Kirkpatrick, the executive" director of the Food Bank of North Carolina for 12 years, has resigned to pursue other interests, the organization said. The Food Bank's Harvest of Hope Capital Campaign had just completed a drive that raised more than Z million. Kirkpatrick became the Food Bank's third executive director in 1985. The budget was about $82,000 then and the Food Bank annually provided about 400,000 pounds of food to 78 charitable agencies across the state. The Food Bank now has a budget of $1.2 million which supports food distribution, nutrition, education and advocacy services to 485 non- profit, charitable agencies in 34 counties. Regional Development wins national award ECU's Regional Development Institute has been awarded its second consecutive Project of the Year Award from the National Association of Management and Technical Assistance Centers. Mack Simpson, acting director of the institute, recently attended the association's conference, "Winds of Change in Lincoln, Neb to receive the award for the soon-to-be released publication East Book. The East Book will be released at a conference for business leaders throughout the region, hosted by ECU on Dec. 16 in the Mendenhall Student Center. Trustees arrive to prepare for meeting Members of ECU Board of Trustees will arrive on campus Thursday, Oct. 23 in preparation for their meeting on Friday. Several of the committees will meet in afternoon sessions in Mendenhall Student Center. Cabaret-style jazz shows ottered at ECU Parking not allowed until four hours before game Natasha Phillips STAKF WRITE The new four-hour tailgating parking rule has caused a lot of unrest among the student body. It has caused a lot of public debate regarding lack of parking and overcrowding. "Basically the four-hour tailgating rule was implemented to cut costs and make things more efficient said Henry VanSant, associate athletic director The popular belief is that the new time restrictions cause more inconvenience and create a more chaotic situation. "The new rule consolidates the time people have to get into the parking lot. My personal opinion is that this decision may have increased parking difficulties said Mark Hessert, associate director of the Pirate Club. The overcrowding seems to be slowly worsening. This problem is especially evident on Charles Street. "The traffic has always been bad on Charles Street and it still is. The State Highway Patrol does their best to control it VanSant said. They put in walkways and cones to alleviate problems. It's a problem because everyone comes at one time. Because of the overcrowding and pregame excitement, pedestrians are one of our biggest concerns. The Highway Patrol does the best they can do, but it's difficult Parking is currently limited, but alternative options are becoming more readily available. "We ae constantly looking for solutions. A new parking area is scheduled to be complete in 1999. It will be behind the new stadium and will have an additional 700 parking spaces. Local area schools are also helping to alleviate parking problems. Elm Hearst School and Eppes Middle School allow people to pay for parking privileges. They use the money for the school's benefit VanSant said. The least known alternative is the shuttle bus service, which is offered by ECU. "The University offers a shuttle system. People park their cars near the Hilton, pay $5 per car load, and are driven to and from the game. It's a benefit that everyone should know about and take advantage of during the games. It helps alleviate parking problems Hessert said. Go ahead and male reservations lor Homecoming Pilot error ruled cause of last year's plane crash HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) Pilot error was to bfame for an airplane crash into the Connecticut Rivef last July, the National Transportation Safety Board has ruled. . Flaps on the plane had not been set before takeoff from Brainard Field, so the plane could not ascend quickly enough to clear the runway, the report said. The single-engine Piper Malibu had just taken off on a tnp to Block Island, R.L when it plunged into the river Jury 12,19. Pilot Donald Morrison of East Hampton told investigators he set the flaps as required in the plane's operating manual. He said he noticed a sudden drop in engine power as the plane got off the ground, so he raised the landing gear to clear a dike at the end of the runway. The plane gave a thrust as it flew over the dike, then plunged into the water, Morrison said. UMASS Students rally against proposed campus drinking ban AMHERST, Mass. (AP) About 300 University of Massachusetts students chanting "Savecjur beer gathered on the steps of the Student Union to protest a proposed ban on campus drinking. Flanked by posters reading We want beer and s fignt for your right to party, the protesters urged students to register their disapproval of the proposed ban in a referendum during Wednesday's student government elections. Trie Monday rally was organized by the UMass Republican Club and a campus group calling itself the Pro-Student Caucus. The state Board of Higher Education voted last week to urge university and college trustees to impose the ban. Earlier this month, UMass-Arnherst Chancellor David Scott forbid drinking at football tailgate parties. The moves followed the drinking-related deaths of students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the UMass-Arnherst campus this rail. Mexican Navy finds 2 tons of marijuana floating in Gulf of California MEXICO CITY (AP) Mexican sailors seized more than 2 metric tons (2.2 short tons) of packaged marijuana floating in the Gulf of California earlier this month, the Mexican Navy announced Tuesday. The 53 packages of marijuana were found Oct. 18 on a routine cruise about 45 miles off the Pacific coast state of Sinaloa, the Navy said in a communique. The drug was taken to the naval base in Mazatlan and turned over to civilian authorities, the communique said. 23 die in flash floods on Kenyan Coast MOMBASA, Kenya (AP) Flash floods along Kenya's Indian Ocean coast have drowned at least 23 people, officials said Tuesday. The unusually heavy rain, which began Saturday, also has submerged some neighborhoods in this port city and delayed flights in and out of the area- . The Daily Nation newspaper quoted the Meteorological Department as saying Mombasa received almost 18 inches of rain Sunday and Monday. . In no.mal years, Mombasa averages 6.8 inches of rain from September through November. The Meteorological Department said flooding should be expected elsewhere in the East African country.

To deal with the increasing parking problem a shuttle service has been set up between the parking near the Hilton and the football stadium. Fans may use the shuttle for $5 rather than have to walk from distant lots. Spaces are also available at Elmhurst Elementary School for $5 and at C.M. Eppes Middle School for a fee. In addition to this, Hessert said, a new parking lot is on the agenda. "We will be building a new parking lot behind the north stands and at least half will be done by "98 Hessert said. Hessert also pointed out that the stadium expansion means more people will be coming to the games and will need a place to park.

After the argument has been heard, it will either be denied, approved, or reduced. The appeals form, issued to the, complainant, contains the board's decision. If the argument has been denied or reduced, the person has 10 days to pay the bill before a late fee is added. If the ruling is unsatisfactory, a second appeal may be filed. If the individual is still unsatisfied after the second ruling, they have to take the issue to the civil court system. "At this point, they're out of our hands and on their own said Nancy Roberson, citation appeals coordinator. Both of the ticket and appeal processes can be lengthy and time- consuming; the towing issue, howevet, tends to be briefer, yet equally unstable. On average, 45 vehicles are towed a month, but the actual monthly total fluctuates dramatically. Over an 11-month period, 498 vehicles were towed. "When an individual receives a citation, I like to help and inform them especially when they sincerely do not realize what they've done wrong. There are a lot of people who come in and are sincerely unaware of the parking policies. I like to make them aware of the rules and regulations. Hopefully, my assistance will help them avoid future problems Roberson said. Individuals are ticketed for a variety of reasons. The three most popular violations constitute a rather assimilated range of offenses. The most popular violation is the unregistered vehicle violation, which simply means that an individual parked on campus without having a parking permit. Second, overtime parking constitutes a large number of on- campus parking violations. It consists of parking in a parking meter space or a loading zone. Finally, the Wrong Zone also garnishes many tickets. This is when a staff member parks in a designated resident area or when a resident parks in a commuter area. "I'm not into being big, bad, and nasty. I'm not into law and order. If I was, I would have been a police officer Eastwood said. "I like to talk with people and inform them of the right things to do.

Octobar 23, 1997 oumcw One of ECU's favorite game day pastimes is tailgating, an undying passion to party hard with friends and prepare to cheer the Pirates on to victory. But, tailgating has become increasingly impossible due to limited close-to-stadium parking spaces and a time restraint to get into the tailgating field. University officials are not allowing cars to enter the tailgating field more than four hours prior to the start of the game and if you have been in the vicinity of the Charles and Greenville Blvd. intersection during these chaotic hours, you know what the problem amounts to. Students and others are cruising the area back and forth, hoping and praying to be one of the lucky ones who just happen to be at a green light when the field is opened. Traffic jam does not even suffice in trying to define the situation. Once the field is opened, student cars begin piling in, determined to find the best spot � hopefully right under a tree where they will be protected from the blazing sun throughout the extent of the long afternoon. But, here again another problem develops, lack of space for cars. No matter how long you cruise waiting to get in, the chance of getting a space is slim to none. The university has taken it upon themselves to rope off space for the the Pirate Club members and taken space from the students. If you have been one of the many waiting for a space on game day, you have certainly felt the frustration of seeing the empty area of grass, where not one car was parked � knowing, in the meantime, you will not get the opportunity to park there. This is an area where approximately 200 more cars could pile in. University officials claim that the members of the Pirate Club donate a lot of money to the university and are therefore deserving of these spaces. No doubt they are deserving of the space, but they are not using the space. If there are spaces left over, especially as many as there have been in past games, students should be able to pile more of their own vehicles in. There is no use in wasting precious parking space � a problem whose wrath the university can't seem to escape. The students of ECU are the most important assets to the the university. Without the students there Would be no university and no football team to cheer on. We deserve, at the very least, the left over spaces the Pirate Club does not utilize and a little more time to get in and get settled. This would alleviate a lot of complaints and traffic jams that continually take place on garpe days. OPINION Co In mi William Stacey CO'CHRAN Chancellor vague on doctoral status A movement to level two status would be the kind of move that no one would complain about, and it would have lasting effect. It would raise ECU above the academic mediocrity that we are too often criticized for. ECU's accreditation to doctoral level two status would be the kind of move that would change our university immensely. It would be the type of infrastructural change that would raise ECU to higher academic standards. With better pay for professors, more money for research and an increased number of doctorate programs, ECU could take a large step in rising to proficiency. For those of you who might not know what I am talking about, it is this: there are different levels of collegiate academic accreditation. ECU is currently a doctoral level one status. We offer moderate funding for research, decent salaries for professors, and three doctorate degrees (medicine, physiology and education). This means we only offer PhD degrees in these three programs. A movement to level two status would be the kind of move that no one would complain about, and it would have lasting effect. It would raise ECU above the academic mediocrity that we are too ofren criticized for. Our standards for accepting students would inherently be raised, and the graduation rate would most likely be higher. As the son of two ECU alumni and myself a graduate of ECU's liberal arts program (currently a Master's candidate), I have been witness throughout my life to the greatness that is ECU. My major beef with the administration is the vagueness with which they announce these changes. Chancellor Richard Eakin was interviewed during halftime of the ECUTulane football game and even there he was cheerily political. He said he hoped the doctoral status would take effect within the next two years. Why is it that he will not state for certain when it will initiate? When asked about the completion of Joyner Library he answered with just as ambiguous an answer. He said the library may be finished by January. Anyone who saw the deadline of construction on the student recreation center moved back semester after semester knows the frustration the administration can inflict with their political ambiguity. I will not even go into detail at what an eyesore the football stadium was on national television. Having followed Pirate development all my life, I am concerned with the political card game our administration seems to be playing. This is our future and when administration makes promises they should damn well keep them. Instead of luring students to ECU with promises that they well know may not be kept, I think they should take the more respectable and honest approach. As a young child, my parents used to bring me to Pirate football games. It was there I first learned what it meant to be a Pirate. Now as an adult, witnessing the politics of our administration, I wonder if I have learned the real definition of a pirate. LETTER to the Editor Homeless never focus of Pi Lambda Phi I am writing in regards to a previous letter to the editor printed in the Oct. 21 issue. I am a member of the Pi Lambda Phi fraternity and am mildly offended by the remarks of Joshua Neil. However, I realized that his comments were made out of ignorance. I do mean "of ignorance" in the true meaning of the word: unawareness. We set out to camp in cardboard houses to raise money for the Ronald McDonald House. The Ron House serves as a home for mothers of children who are hospitalized and need emotional and financial support. We in no way set out to make ECU aware of the homeless problem. Our cardboard boxes were built as a venue for promotion of the charity event. This can be compared to various walk-a-thons that raise money for problems such as worldwide hunger and multiple sclerosis. These walk-a-thons arc not meant to benefit those who cannot walk, but are used to bring attention, and it usually works. Over the past three years we have raised nearly $3,000 for a good cause and it upsets me that people can overlook the good intentions of our chapter and criticize all the hard work we put into this annual event. I would like to challenge you, Joshua to give me a call at the chapter house; maybe we could work together to create some type of campus awareness of the homeless problem. Phil Epps Sophomore Business Management 7? m 8 ' i 4 & OPINION Keith COOPER Cancer: a problem that has soluti If America can manipulate technology to put a man on the moon, she could certainly manipulate technology to cure millions of cancer patients left in the cold. As of 1997, there are over 1,382,400 new cases of cancer. Of that number, 785,800 are males while 596,600 arc females. More specifically there are over 181,600 new cases of breast cancer in this country, there are over 334,500 new cases of prostate cancer; over 178,000 new cases of lung cancer exist and more than 94,000 cases of colon cancer have been reported thus far in 1997. In any event, advanced cancer robs too many people of their precious lives each year. What are some of the coping mechanisms used by misery surrounding the cancer. These questions and others will be answered in a manner that's both straightforward and informative. People with advanced cancer sometimes feel a sense of loneliness and isolation. This, for the most part, is becaused advanced cancer is very disruptive of normal activities. Moreover, the family and friends without cancer are hurt because they can't share the experience of the victim. To combat these problems, the cancer victim should attempt to live as normally as possible. Shehe should surround herselfhimself with familiar things - art, photos, etc. The patient may wish to watch a favorite television show with a close friend. Moreover, victims of advanced cancer should not be afraid to invite visitors for company purposes. They can engage in activities that could stimulate a much-needed mutual familiarity. Additionally, joining support groups (especially with others having similar problems) also proves to be beneficial to the dying. Since family and close friends tend to be primary sources of emotional comfort for advanced cancer victims, communication is vital. The victims should encourage discussions about their illnesses and invited hugs, kisses, or hand? squeezes from those who recognize and understand the pain, misery, and agony victims beat Indeed, advanced cancer is g serious problem not to be underestimated. The prevalence of cancer in its advanced stages is frightening, yet real. Coping mechanisms and support from the clergy, family and devoted friends wilt be meaningful in providing a sense of hope and optimism for the victim. Further, genetics (especially finding genes involved with spccifkjL cancers), vaccine studies and other" biological studies offer future hoperj for the innumerable cancer victims, who, unfortunately, are withering inr a cloud of doubt and misfortune?- The clergy, businesses and hcr policicai community should without hesitation, regularly send? money to cancer research programs? designed to find cures for .varioi types of cancers blotting o precious lives in America ai abroad. If America can manipul technology to put a man on moon, she could certainly manipulate technology to cure' millions of cancer patients left the cold. LETTER to the Editor Racial diversity more than black, white In response to Keith Cooper's write-up in The East Carolinian on Thursday, Oct. 16, "Faculty Needs More Diversity when he spoke of racial diversity, how diverse is one racial group? Why not recruit only African-American, but American Indian, more Indonesian, Asian and Hispanics, just to name a few in the racial rainbow? A college campus is far too diverse to restrict the search to only African-Americans as you made it seem. We respect his views, but please do not exclude the other minorities in the same boat. Christy Pearson Sociology Senior Shannon Shore Communications Senior i to the Editor Separation of church, state not law Okay, it's about time someone set the record straight. I have been reading the editorials and the responses about the Christian music being played at the Student Recreation Center, and I feel columnist Jeff Bergman addressed the problem most logically and intelligently. I would, however, like to bnng one major point that everyone has missed and misquoted. There is not now, nor has their ever been, a separation of church and state law. Now let's understand where the state and idea originated. Thomas Jefferson wrote in an essay that since America was founded by people fleeing a country that did not allow religious freedoms; it's a good idea to keep the church separate from the government, then we might end up restricting everyone's freedom of religion guaranteed in the Constitution. Here's what the First Amendment says about religion, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof In other words, the government cannot establish a state religion or restrict people from worshiping any way they want. That is why some public schools have a moment of silence in the morning, so any student can pray if they want or not do anything if they want. You will notice, however, that the separation of church and state is not a law, but merely an idea, and a pretty good one too.

I remember a time when "alternative" music was more than just a marketing tool, a time when it wasn't as disposable as an empty tube of jock itch cream. In my day, alternative meant something. Not that I remember what alternative meant, but it meant something I'm sure. The Pixies came and saved the late '80s from a big, pop-ice-cream headache. The late '80s were a time ruled by rhe tikes of Rick Astley and New Kids on the Block. Do you remember, like I do, late at night, waking up crying, "No Rick, we won't be together forever. We won't. We won't, We won't?" It was a time before bassist Kim Deal went to the Breeders, and lead singer and guitarist Black Francis, stopped not being Charles Thompson and became Frank Black. And now Elektra is playing tribute to the Pixies with Death to the Pixies, a two disc "greatest hits" collection. The collection makes it highly evident (if you didn't already know) the influence the Pixies have had on the current crop of "alternative" bands. A similar set SEE nUf I.

ECU is famous for its Halloween celebrations, the one time of year when ghouls, ghosts arid monsters of all sorts creep out from their seclusion and walk openly among the rest of humanity While parrying downtown on all Hallow's Eve is a great joy, preparing for the witching hour is just as much fun. A long-standing Halloween tradition has been gathering a bunch of friends together to watch one horror movie after another. Nothing gets one revved up for a night of trick-or- treating like a good of fashion horror flick. Horror, like love, is not easily defined. It has many faces. Keeping this fact in mind, I offer to all your eclectic viewers out there 13 types of horror available on video that will make your blood freeze and get you in the proper state of mind for a spine-tingling Halloween celebration. Classic horror � No Halloween is complete without paying homage to those who help give birth to cinematic horror. Tod Browning's Dracula and James Whale's Bride of Frankenstein both have endured the years to remain as two of the most influential horror flicks of all time. Bela Lugosi's masterful performance as the bloodsucking vampire defined the role of Count Dracula, and Boris Karloff more than fills the large shoes of Dr. Frankenstein's freakish creation. Psychological horror � Jeremy Irons may have won his Oscar for his performance in Reversal of Fortune, but his acting skills truly sparkled in David Cronenberg's twisted Dead Ringers. This brilliant yet unsettling film features Irons as twin brothers whose lives unravel when they share the same woman.

Don't mean you gotta like it For answers, grab a mirror and see p.9 horror than a traditional one, it leaves the viewer with an utter sense of disorientation. Slasher horror � If you prefer your fright feasts to be less intelligent and more bloody, then the slasher genre is your forte. The king of slasher flicks is without a doubt John Carpenter's masterpiece, Halloween. This is the first film to feature Michael Myers, the shadow of death that has become a cinematic icon for feat Gritty horror � As terrifying as Halloween is, it's level of gore and violence is tame compared to such classics as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Night of the Living Dead'and Dawn of the Dead. Watching these films, one can almost feel the stickiness of blood on their fingers and smeH the sickening odor of death in the air. Not for the squeamish. Big-budget horror�The above films all succeed despite having an almost non-existent budget. While big-budgets do riot equate greatness, there are prime examples of big-budget studio horror films that are thrilling. Ridley Scott's blood bath in space, Alien, forever changed the way movie fans looked at extraterrestrial life, and Steven Spielberg's chaotic The Lost World clearly illustrates how dinosaurs were not friendly like Barney.

This sequel to Alien proved that a woman can do a man's job when Sigorney Weaver kicked alien butt all over the screen. Supernatural horror � Not everyone is into the action scene. Many prefer supernatural elements mixed in with their terror. If you are of the latter crowd, then The Exorcist is a must. William Friedkin's tale of a young girl (played to perfection by Linda Blair) who is possessed by none other than Satan himself shocked the nation back in 1973. It is still just as shocking today. Natural horror � Sometimes Nature can be as frightening as any demon. Steven Spielberg's Jams and Alfred Hitchcock's Tie Binds both perfectly capture the chaos and destruction the natural world can reek on us pitiful humans. foreign horror� Inspired by the real-life child murderer known as "Vampire of Dusseldorf Fritz Lang's M puts a French twist on the serial killer genre. Bster Lorre, in his screen debut, is simply chilling. Funny horror � After watching Lorre stalk innocent children, you need a good laugh. Horror can be funny, too. Just take a peek at such films as Young Frankenstein, Evil Dead 2, An American Werewolf in London, The Addams Family, and A Nightmare Before Christmas. These are perfect Halloween treats for the faint of heart. Giant monster horror � This type of horror is fun to watch but hard to take seriously. Just watch any Japanese monster movie, like Godzilla or Yog, Monster From Space, and you'll get the idea. Thanks to the success of Jurassic Park, Hollywood is interested in this genre once again. A big-budget remake of King Kong is in the works, and an American version of Godzilla will hit theaters next summer. Modern horror� Horror films as a whole are on a resurgence now, thanks largely to contemporary blockbusters like Silence of the Lambs, Seven and Scream. The latest entry into the slasher genre, Know What You Did Last Summer, debuted as the top money-making film in the nation this past weekend. Soon to come, many sequels to Scream and a revamped Halloween sequel. Teenage horror � 1 finish the list with this because it encompasses about half the horror films in existence, everything from Was a Teenage Frankenstein to Carrie. Carrie is worth seeing just for a scene in which a young John Travolta dumps a bucket of pig blood all over a teenage Sissy Spacek, who in turn uses her witch- like powers to destroy everyone at the senior prom. Teenagers are always fodder in a horror film. And thus concludes your tour of the 13 horrors of Halloween. Have a great and safe holiday, and be sure to keep your night light on when you finally go to sleep. Pixies continued from page 8 Jonathan continued from page 8 Answers to the Quote Quiz.

The first disc in the collection includes tracks from the Pixies five albums, and the second disc is a live recording of a Pixies show in Holland in 1990. Both discs are excellent representations of the Pixies output. Of course, there are songs not included that devoted fans will whine about, but that's the case with any sort of retrospective. When you enter the world of the Pixies, you enter the world of weird, the world of UFOs and the world of really, really loud music. It was always interesting that Pixies were on Elektra's 4AD subsidiary, a label known for shoe- gazing, quiet bands. But while the Pixies could be downright ugly (check out Black Francis s Satan scream on "Planet of Sound"), there were, dare 1 say, pretty melodies mixed in with the feedback of songs such as "Wave of Mutilation Then, of course, there's the down right Beach Boy- like happy-pop of "Here Comes Your Man" and Kim Deal's seldomly used, yet gorgeous vocals on "Gigantic They were a pop band at heart, a three-eyed alien pop band, but a pop band nevertheless. The first disc contains all the taples: "Monkey Gone to "Where is my Mind?" ebaser While the live ats many of the same here are also many songs not included on the first disc that are thankfully included on it: "Broken Face "Ed is Dead" and "Hey Those who are not already familiar with the Pixies may not find the live disc quite as accessible, but fans will certainty appreciate the disc. I still don't know what alternative means. But if I had to guess, I'd say it meant the Pixies. V� fe. Third of Never 123IB) SUPPORT rOUR LOCAL MUSICIANS!

Martin's organ playing is the impetus for this fab five. At times subdued and at times crazy-wild, his organic noodles are catchy and moody at the same time. Maroon's guitar work compliments this nicely, often mimicking the tone and sound of the organ itself. The rhythm section of Thomas Frank (bass) and Matt Barrick (drums) is tight as, well, as a drum, and the contrast between Barricks marchy snare and Martin's inspiring churchy organ is so very tasty. The sound Fire-Eater produce is so close to what the soundtrack of Oliver Twist would sound like if Victorian novels had soundtracks. Ringing and sparkling like a Christmas tree, the booming thunder that is Wolf Songs for Lambs could inspire William Blake to more innocence and experience. Lupton's lyrics reflect both the Dickens-like mood and the compare-and-contrast of Blake's poetry. Filled with paradoxes and allegories more obvious and yet more believable than Miss Havisham, Lupton's lyrics reflect a search for beauty in the midst of the soot and smog that is a big city. "Are married to an unfaithful world?Will you carry the flags if they come unfurledPAre you locked into a projection booth that shows the films of your troubled youth?" asks Lupton in "Everybody Plays the Mime Lupton creates characters of staggering humanity, such as this lady-love in "The Shape of Things that Never Came "Magazine party in the old train yarda girl had a seizure thereshe was putting makeup in the club car there's make-up everywhereyou little princessthere's a look in your eyes when your arms go slack From it's cathedral-sized beginning, through its vaulted ceilings, out into the ornate narthex, and into the cemetery and sculpture garden, the old church that is Wolf Songs for Lambs glistens with the color and the sound of another world that is much like ours, except with bigger emotions, bigger hearts and spirits that fill the cityscape.

You should be able to end your career on your own terms. Karen Reinhard's final season on the ECU cross country team has not followed that script. Instead she has dealt with lingering injuries and frustratingly high times. However, Reinhard has stayed positive and things are turning around. Before Reinhard ran cross country her sport was soccer. "I wasn't very good at soccer Reinhard said. "All I knew was that i was one of the players they put in at the halfback position because I could run up and down the field forever and I never got tired At the age of 12 Reinhard took up cross country out of spite. "My next door neighbor was running cross country Reinhard said. "She said she was going to run in the junior nationals and I knew I could run faster than her. I just wanted to see if I could do it, I guess. 1 was totally out to beat her ECU recruited Reinhard heavily in high school, but she chose to attend Oklahoma University. After a year and a half at OU she turned in her Sooner crimson for the purple and gold of ECU. "Even though she's only been running for us for the last three years, she's actually been involved in the program over five years. She was one of the first cross country recruit's we had when we started really stepping the program up said Head Women's Cross Country Coach "Choo" Justice. "She's been through the ups and the downs and now back on the ups Justice said. "Karen's been one of our top two or three runners since she has been here Reinhard held lofty expectations for her senior season. This was to be the year her experience and consistency paid dividends. "I had really big goals for myself because basically this is my swan song Reinhard said. "It's just frustrating because my shins have been beat up and we put in a lot of mileage and I've gone into a lot of races and I've just felt really dead-legged and nothing's really come together The season that was supposed to be her "swan song" was turned into an ugly duckling by injuries and ineffective strategy. "Early in the season she was training so much and training so hard she wasn't giving her legs a chance to get healthy Justice said. Her legs were so bad at one point she was in danger of causing stress fractures if she ran too hard. "She's really had to go in the pool and swim, get off her legs a little bit and they're starting to get better and that's starting to show in her racing Justice said. "Her strategy has always been just to go out and run as hard as she can for as long as she can and it hasn't worked that well for her this year Justice said. "She tried something different at the race this weekend, that was going out a little bit more under control Who's Hot?

PHOTO COURTESYOf SPORTS INFORMATION and she found she had a lot more better energy and she finished the On Saturday at the North second half of the race much Carolina Collegiate Championships, Reinhard turned in her lowest time of the season, of 18:52. Though her strategy and body betrayed her this season, one thing that cannot be questioned is her dedication. "Karen just has a certain level of expectations and all season up to this point after races she hasn't been really satisfied with herself. If she doesn't run what she thinks she ought to run she gets mad with herself and uses that as motivation to train hard and do whatever she needs to do Justice said. Although her senior season has been mired with injury and frustration, the one they call "Poof ball" because of her curry blond hair, remains confident. Next month the Pirate cross country team competes in the CAA Championship Meet, where Reinhard hopes they finish high. "I want our team to come in the top three at conference this year Reinhard said. "Karen's like a ball of energy Justice said. "Whenever she can harness that energy she does really well FIRST HOME GAMES MEN'S-NOV. 5 � 7 P.M. VS NEXT LEVEL SPORTS EXH) WOMEN-NOV. 12 � 7 P.M. VS CROATIA CENTER BAMA (EXH) Basketball season begins soon Basketball teams prepare for upcoming season JEREMY ANDERSON STAFF WHITE It may be hard to believe, but basketball season is right around the corner. The men and women of the Prate basketball teams have been gearing up for the start of this season. The Pirates will be tested early, as third year Head Coach Joe Dooley upgraded this season's non-conference schedule. "We will play Big East, Conference USA and Atlantic Ten opponents this year Dooley said. This eariy season test will prepare the Pirates for Conference play in the improving CAA "The CAA is the 10th ranked conference in the country this year Dooley said. The Pirates will be anchored in the back court this season by seniors Tony Parham and Othello Meadows. Parham averaged 8.5 points per game while Meadows was near the top in the CAA in three-point percentage. The Pirates will also have the ability to go with a three guard lineup. Junior Alico Dunk, from nearby Ayden-Grifton High School, will sec action this year after averaging 20 minutes per game and dishing out 56 assists last season. The Pirates also return senior Raphael Edwards, who led the team in scoring last year with 132 points per game and was named second-team All-CAA Senior Dink Peters will join Edwards up front. Peters averaged almost six rebounds a game last season. Red-shirt freshman Alphons lerland will have a chance to fill the role at center for the Pirates. At 7'0 230 pounds, lerland worked hard in the weight room and on the court last season and was named the Pirates "Most Improved Player "We are cautiously optimistic. Our seniors need to show leadership by setting examples Dooley said. The ECU women's basketball team will look to build on last season's success. The Lady Pirates shocked the CAA Tournament last year by reaching the final after upsetting third-seeded Richmond and defeating Virginia Commonwealth in the semi-final game. "I'd like to see us pick up in November where we left off in March Head Coach Anne Donovan said. Although the Lady Pirates lost their top rcbounder and scorer last season, they will look to senior Shay Hayes for leadership on a young Pirate ball club. Hayes is a fifth-year senior who sat out last year with a medical red shirt, after back surgery. "Her role as a leader this year is extremely important Donovan said. The Lady Pirates only other returning senior, Jen Cox, is coming off a stellar junior season. She recorded 61 blocks for the Pirates last year and ranks second on ECU's career blocks list. "Cox is an experienced player capable of great things Donovan said. Donovan and her staff has worked hard in the off season. The Pirates boast one of the top 50 recruiting classes in the nation, including four players from North Carolina. Included in the freshman class is Charette Guthrie of Winston-Salem, Jennifer Moretz of Boonc, and Opal Johnson and Trica Peckharh from the Triangle Area. Also included in the new class is Nikki Brown from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. "Last year we relied heavily on freshmen and I don't expect this year to be any different Donovan said. One freshman who will asked to step up immediately in the point guard role is Trica Peckham. "She will be looked upon heavily Assistant Coach Ginny Doyle said. The schedule for this year will be tough as it has ever been. ECU will play some of the top conferences in the nation, including the ACC, SEC, and Big East. It will get no easier for the Lady Pirates as they reach CAA play, which includes two games against last year's NCAA National Runncr-Up Old Dominion. With this challenging schedule and the new crop of freshman, ECU has the opportunity to establish itself as a power in the CAA and around the nation. "We will be very young, but have a lot of talent. We have a good group that has really been working hard Doyle said. Swimmers get ready for first meet of! year Men and women undefeated against upcoming opponents Steve losey SENIOR WRITER Often Purple and Gold meets at ECU can serve as a preview of the upcoming season. If last Thursday's meet is any indication, this season will be one to remember for the ECU swimming team. On Oct. 16, the swimming team S'it into two teams, Purple and Id, and faced each other in a scrimmage of sorts. The match is usually a chance to see what their intense practice schedule has" prepared them foe "It was the fastest Purple and Gold meet in ECU history beamed a proud Head Coach Rick Kobe. The Gold team won both matches. Four ECU Purple and Gold records were set that day. Samantha Perry broke the record for the women's 200-yard breaststroke.

The practice schedule for the swimming team is only for the dedicated. Each afternoon the swim team practices for two hours. Twice a week, the swim team rises before dawn for a practice at six in the morning before classes. Three times every week, the team lifts weights. Ve've been practicing very hard and swimming an average of 50,000 yards each week Kobe said. The swimming team faces two schools this weekend. On Saturday, for ECU's first meet of the season, the College of Charleston will visit Greenville. After that match, the swimming team will compete against Georgia Southern on Sunday. Expectations are high for those matches. "Vfc haven't lost against cither team yet Kobe said. This weekend at hoi Football vs. Memphis Stf.�3lp.

Unfortunately, the stadium dedication ceremony has been postponed until September 12, 1998, when the Pirates will be going head- to-head against Heisman Trophy candidate Tim Couch and the University of Kentucky. The stadium dedication ceremony has been put off another season and ECU students and fans won't be ibic to watch their favorite football team from a higher altitude this weekend. Assistant Athletic Director Henry VanSant said the construction is now progressing along at a much smoother rate. "The lights are up and working and the construction crew is now installing the scats VanSant said. The construction is expected to do more than just add an additional 8,000 seats to the 35,000 scat arena "The upper deck will make Dowdy-Rcklen stadium into a major college football stadium, which should bring higher profile teams into Greenville such as Miami, Florida and Duke to name a few VanSant said. The addition will not only bring more fans into the stadium, it will bring more people-alumni and parents alike-into Greenville. People who will be staying in hotels, going to Restaurants and just all around spending there money on local businesses helping the local economy. "I expect a lot of people to be surprised by the new addition when they finally see it, VanSant said. "The upper deck will be equipped with men's and women's restrooms, concession stands and souvenir stands PIRATESH What is your favorite sport? w e sxree 'Badminton.

He's not a great runner or passer, coach Joe Tiller says, but he gets the job done. Not bad for someone who started practice last summer as a backup. " 'We came out of the spring less than overly enthused about our productivity 'filler said Tuesday. "We were concerned about team speed, and I don't think that's changed much. Probably the single biggest change has been the emergence of Dicken as the No. 1 quarterback and the way the guy has really handled the offense, grabbed hold of it, done a good job in executing and made some plays on his own Dicken beat out John Reeves as Purdue's starter, and through six games Dicken has passed for 1,626 yards and 13 touchdowns. He also has rushed for 269 yards, and he is fifth in the nation in total offense with 315.8 yards per game. Even Tiller, who needs just one WE BLOW ON SITE!

He did not have a stellar performance in the spring the first- vear coach admitted during his weekly teleconference from West Lafayette. Billy's problem in the spring was his inconsistency and the fact he didn't throw with real velocity. Over the summer, he got better at it, obviously, and in the fall he really took over the quarterback job Tiller said Dickens improvement wasn't only in his physical ability, but in learning and executing the offense. "Really, he matured in that period of time and through our two- a-day practices so that he became much more effective at executing the offense, and I think he understands it better. 1 also think he's a very competitive guy Dicken was named Big Ten co- offensive player of the week after completing 16-of-22 passes for 311 yards and three touchdowns in Saturday's 45-20 victory over Wisconsin. He also rushed for 56 yards on six carries. ' We've always had the quarterback draw in the system Billy also has demonstrated his ability to be pretty effective when he runs Tiller said. I don't see a great runner, 1 don't see a great thrower, I don't see a big, physical guy. But he's very competitive and (smart) in terms of understanding the game and handling the offense Purdue (5-1. 3-0 Big Ten) was ranked No. 22 by The Associated Press this week, the first ranking for the Boilermakers since thev were 14th after beating Ohio State in 1984. Wisconsin, ranked 24th before the loss to Purdue, dropped out of the AP poll. Winning a football game such as that against a team that was on a six-game run certainly is good for oui team Tiller said. The Boilermakers, whose five-game winning streak is the school's longest in football since 1980, will be heavily favored to make it six in a row this week, plaving at winless Illinois (0- 6, 0-3). CKerall, the Illini have lost 12 straight games going back to last season.

On Monday, the Senate voted unanimously to regulate the profession. The bill would require sports agents to register and put up at least a $20,000 bond with the commission before they can work. Similar legislation has either been adopted or is pending in California, Florida, Texas and 17 other states. The House is expected to pass the measure, which is designed to protect student athletes "from unscrupulous sports agents said Sen. Robert D. Robbins,R-Crawford. The bill would require annual registration fees of $100 for an individual, $200 for a partnership or corporation. Agents would also pay a $50 processing fee and a $25 fee to file their bond. r Deadline for decision about Minnesota Twins' move draws near ROCK HILL, S.C. (AP) �York County may soon be home to the Minnesota Twins unless the Minnesota Legislature meets next month's deadline to come up with its own plan to finance a new stadium. Lawmakers have 40 days until Nov. 30 to approve a plan that would pay for a new stadium for the Minnesota Twins. If a plan is not approved, the Twins will move to York County. Three weeks ago, North Carolina businessman Don Beaver signed a letter of intent to buy the baseball franchise and move it to the Carolinas. If the deal goes through, Beaver's plan is for the Amsrican League team to play in Knights Castle in Rrt Mill in 1998 and 1999 before moving to a permanent home near Greensboro, N.C. in 2000. If a deal cannot be worked out, Twins owner Carl Pohlad will sell the team to Beaver. Major League Baseball officials have already said they would approve the sale and the relocation of the team to the Carolinas. Beaver is currently in the process of buying the Charlotte Knights who play in Foa Mi Avalanche defenseman has knee surgery DENVER (AP) �Colorado Avalanche defenseman Sandis Ozolinsh is expected to miss 2-3 weeks after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his left knee Tuesday. Ozolinsh, who led NHL defensemen with 23 goals last season, injured the knee Friday in Colorado's 6-5 overtime loss to Calgary. He did not play Sunday against Edmonton. Ozolinsh has a goal and three assists in six games this season. Briggs respects Foreman in ring despite age NEW YORK (AP)�George Foreman is 48, but boxing's old man is still able to pull his weight in the ring, said Shannon Briggs, who fights the former heavyweight champion next month. Foreman (76-4 with 68 knockouts) is equally eager to fight Briggs, who sustained his only setback in 30 pro fights to Darroll Wilson in a third-round knockout loss in 1995. Foreman has been champion twice during his career, losing the title the first time to Muhammad Ali in the rumble in the jungle" fight in Zaire in 1974, then relinquishing the crown in 1995 when he refused to fight a mandatory challenger after knocking out Michael Moorer in 1994. Since then, Foreman has campaigned hard for another title shot, but now appears resigned that he probably won't get that opportunity against any of the three recognized champions Moorer (IBF), Evander Horyfield (WBA) and Lennox Lewis (WBC). started 6-2 and the Jets 7-1. The Giants, under Parcelb, went on to win the Super Bowl; the Jets lost their last five and were eliminated in the second round of the playoffs. Lee may be lost for season LARAMIE, Wyo. (AP)�Wyoming free safety Brian Lee, the nation's leader for interceptions, may be lost for the rest of the season because cf a broken arm he suffered during last week's game against Colorado State. Lee, a senior, was injured with 5:23 left in Wyoming's game against the Rams while trying to break up a pass. Lee finished the game before it was learned he broke his left forearm, said Tim Harkins, assistant sports information director for Wyoming. The injury will require three to four weeks to heal and Wyoming (5-3 overall, 2-1 in the Western Athletic Conference) has only five games remaining in the regular season. As a result, Harkins said it is not known whether Lee will return to the Cowboy lineup for the rest of the season. In eight games this year, Lee has had seven interceptions, an average of 0.88 per game, the highest number in the nation. Lee earlier this year set the Cowboy record for career interceptions at 16 and last year, he set a Wyoming single-season interception record with eight. True freshman Al Rich of Colorado Springs, Colo is expected to take over as starting free safetv when the Cowboys face Souther Methodist (2-4, 1-2) in Dallas on Saturday. American Airlines paying $42 million to put name on Heat's new home MIAMI (AP)�Fans at the new home of the Miami Heat shouldn't have any trouble guessing the team's corporate sponsor. For $42 million, the American Airlines Arena will have a life-sized silhouette of a jet and company logo on the roof, which will be visible to travelers flying in and out of Miami International Airport. The carrier's winged-eagle logo will be on refreshment stand counters, zillions of small jets will be on carpets and refreshment containers, and the seat upholstery pattern is made of A's. Those arc the more subtle signs of sponsorship in the designs unveiled Tuesday. The 20,000-seat arena overlooking Biscayne Bay in downtown Miami will have big American signs and logos outside and on the playing floor and scoreboard. The 20-year naming rights agreement paying $2.1 million a year is nearly as rich as shorter contracts on an annual basis but is longer than most. Continental Airlines is paying $2.2 million a year through 2007 for its affiliation with the home of the New Jersey Nets and Devils. United Airlines is paying $17.5 million over 20 years for its name on the home of the Chicago Bulls and Blackhawks. Miami is one of American's biggest hubs, and the airline is the city's largest private employer with about 9,000 workers. (AIDS AWARENESS MONTH) eaker Giants are now small fish in tuna's town New York (AP)�Bill Parcells, who has given the New York Jets an identity they've lacked since Joe Namath's days, was asked if he has been following the parallel success of the New York Giants. I haven't paid any attention he replied. He was, of course, fibbing. Parcells pays attention to everything in the NFL, particularly when it concerns the Giants, whom he coached to Super Bowl victories in 1986 and 1990. Yes, Parcells knows the Jets and Giants are both 5-3 the Giants are first in the NFC East anci the Jets are a half- game behind New England in the AFC East. Those 10 wins arc more than half the total the teams combined for last season, when the Giants were 6-10 and the Jets 1-15.

Since 1990 these two teams have played one another each year, and ECU holds a 5-2 victory margin. Trie Tigers are 24 (0-01) and were idle last week after beating Arkansas State on Oct. 11,38-9. Three of the four losses Memphis has suffered were by three points each. The defense is a style the Pirates have seen before this season, as Coach Steve Logan compared the Memphis defense to that of Southern Miss Triey've kind of adopted a Southern Miss defense where they're blitzing just about, easily, 65 to 70 percent of the time Logan said. Offensively, Logan is more con- cerned with the passing game that has gained 1387 yards, than with the running game which has post- ed 610 yards. "They are throwing the ball fairly effectively right now Logan said. Running is not quite as effective as in the past, which may or may not be by design Senior flanker Jason Nichols, who only needs three more catches to pass Mitch Galloway as the Pirates all-time pass reception leader, expects the Tigers to play man-to-man, and he's ready for that type of defense. "As a receiver you have to be up and ready for that challenge wnen people want to get in your face and play you man-to-man Nichols said. Logan did see some individual Pirate defensive performances against Tulane that caught his eye. "1 was pleased to see Dwight Henry come back and play a little bit more like we had been accus- tomed to him playing in '95 Logan said. "He looked like the old Dwight the other night on several occasions Henry sat out last season after a knee injury but has recorded 24 tackles this vear and one interceo- "They 've kind of adopted a Southern Miss defense where they 're blitzing just about, easily, 65 to 10 percent of the time Coach Logan tkm. Logan was also pleased with the performance of Kelvin Suggs, who was moved to free safety earlier this year, and had six tackles against Tulane, which gives him 29 on the year. According to Logan, Suggs has helped to iron out some of the wrinkles in the ECU sec- ondary. "I think Kelvin Suggs playing the free safety position continues to settle that situation down back there Logan said. The Pirates will hit the field at 3:30 p.m. this Saturday, as the game will be televised on Fox Sports South. aS w ELTORO Men's Hair Styling Shoppe Barber & Style 2800 E. 10th St. Eastgate Shopping Center Across From Highway Patrol Behind Stain Glass Mon- Fri.9-6 Walk-ins Anytime 752-3318 Say Pirates & Get Hair Cut for $7 Every time.

With four straight losses so far, frus- tration on the players' part has risen with each game. Coach Steve Logan said it's normal for his players to feel down after a 1-5 start, and said he's glad to see the team isn't taking the losses with a grain of salt. "After the game flulane) there were a lot of kids in the locker room really, real- ly, hurt and upset and that's good Logan said. "There's not a lackadaisical rof attitude. They're not accepting losing, which is healthy. There's a healthy frustration among the kids, which is a motivator Towards the end of the Tulane game, many players showed their disappoint- ment freely with sorrowful faces and tears rolling down their cheeks. The frus- tration is there, and flanker Jason Nichols said because of the slow start, they aren't taking any games for granted. ECU has won the last three games against Memphis, and Nichols points out they way the Tigers have been playing, Memphis might think they can already count this game as a win. "With us being 1-5, they're probably trying to chalk this up as a win and they haven't beaten us the last three years, Nichols said. "The way we're playing now, every game is a challenge for us. We don't take anybody lightly The defense is tired of watching the opponents score on them and according to linebacker Rod Coieman, who has 35 tackles, the Pirates know things are get- tine serious. We realize things are critical around here Coieman saw. "We're just trying to get it all up for a win The Pirates haven't had a losing streak like the current one since "93, when they lost their last five games. For Logan, he doesn't see any part of this team giving up on the season. "The kids are working and fighting hard Logan said. "As long as they're doing that you can coach them Campus groups gear up for competitions J E H SI N A S T U �2 TAB EDITOR The football team isn't the only team who's been preparing for a little competition during home- coming. Campus organizations have gearing up for Homecoming court and competition in banners, floats and house decorations. First, all groups pick a Homecoming representative who best represents his or her group. Each representative has to be in a officially-registered university organization such as: departments, unit and residence halls. The min- imum requirements for all repre- sentatives is they must have a min- imum GPA of 2.5, two semesters at ECU and only one male and or female registration per organiza- tion. "Representatives are not allowed to campaign. If the Homecoming committee finds out of this, the individual who does campaign will be immediately dis- qualified from the court. And sanc- tions will be taken against their organization for future participa- tion in other Homecoming activi- ties decided the Homecoming committee. After the Homecoming repre- sentative is taken care of, the group next decides on a float A committee is nominated to design the float. The first decision is what theme does their group want to portray. Then the building begins. A trailer or a truck is purchased in which the float will be built. "Next, the decorations and materials are bought, but hopeful- ly will be donated said Chassidy Millsap of Alpha Omicron Pi. After most of the float is built inside or under a shelter. Then it is brought outside right before the final alterations have to be done said Millsap.Then All the build- ing, mending and fixing should be started a couple of weeks before Homecoming day. During the building time of the float another activiity is being done. A smaller committee is cho- sen. They decide on what will go on the group's banner. The design is usually a mottor or symbol that best represents his or her group. Another popular and creative activity is the househall decora- tions. These houses and halls will be judged on creativity, color, design and use the groups team. Their Homecoming theme should represent at least two- thirds of the total decorations with the reminder available to promote their organization said the Homecoming committee, of East Carolina.

Jensina Stuhz tab editor In a musty old yearbook from 1933 located in the library's archives, there is a photograph of the members of ECU's first football team. Under the photo are the simple words, "football group This so called football group did not have a coach and they played on a grassy field. Later in 1935, another team led by a coach began competing in games with other teams. Reviewed in the light of past football achievement here, the 1935 sea- son was highly successful and packed with thrilling moments. A deceptive aerial attack, which culminated in the intricate "Flying trapeze" play, coupled with brilliant running and blocking, made it possi- ble for the 1935 Pirates to combat heavier and more powerful teams suc- cessfully. With the Wingate game the lone exception, the East Carolina Teachers College team displayed a fighting spirit of which any college may be truly proud. When Oak Ridge came to Greenville, the Cadets did not expect to encounter the twisting, fighting team which barely missed winning in the final seconds of the game. The first win came at the expense of Chowan College, and was followed by another victory from the highly rated Norfolk Branch of William and Mary team. In the first game of the season East Carolina Teacher's College lost to Wingate, 6 to 0. Wingate made the only tally of the game in the third play by a pass. During most of the game there was a continual exchange of punts. In the last few minutes Thomwall Gibson, who was the quarterback at the time, carried the ball a gain of 50 yards, the longest run of the game. The defensive work of the Pirates was superb; however, they were weal on offense. The next team E.C.T.C played was Oak Ridge, this team was consid- ered a much strong team than the Pirates, the Oak Ridge Cadets were able to win by only a small margin, 6 to 2. Both scores were made in the final quarter. Cadet Smathers the other team's player, intercepted a Teacher's pass on the 50-yard line and ran for the touchdown. The teachers' two points came on a safety when Stowe attempted to pass to Lindsay. Brinkley downed the ball behind the goal posts. The Teachers' first half play was marked by strong defense, led by Johnson, tackle, who was in almost everv play. As a whole the Pirates outplayed the highly favored Cadets by holding them for downs at opportune times. It was case of who would get the breaks and the breaks went to the Cadets. E.C.T.C. Pirates defeated Chowan College 46 to 0, the largest score that they have ever run up at one time. During the first half the Pirates did not show the fire that was well exhibited in the last half. The first half was marked by many fumbles, ending with a score of 7 to 0. But the story was quite different the last half. Stowe scored three touchdowns to lead the Pirates. Next, E.C.T.C played William and Mary. Scoring a touchdown and two safeties, E.C.T.C. pirates shattered the hopes of the Norfolk Division of William and Mary- RRl. team of a perfect season, winning by 10 to 6. After a scoreless first quarter, the Pirates made an attack the second quarter that netted a touchdown. Taking the ball on their own 42-yard line, the Pirates marched down the field with a dazzling passing attack which, cou- pled with a 15-yard penalty against the Braves, put the ball on the Division 2-yd line. A lateral from Stowe to gib- son scored on the fourth try. The Braves came pounding back and inaugurated an 88-yard mark, topped with a 40- yard gallop to score. Halfback Cunningham boomed a long punt that fell on the Division eight-yard line. A bad pass from center was downed in the end zone to give the Pirates the first safety. The second came about in the final quarter when the Braves' center uncorked another wild heave. Playing through a heavy snow and intense cold, the Pirates led the mountaineers 6 to 0 at the half. The touch- down came in the second quarter after they had advanced from their own 35-yard line to the Moutaineer's 15-yard line, gibson made a long pass to Cunningham who made 10 yards when he passed to Stowe who scored. For no length of time during the first half did the Mountaineers threaten the Pirates' territory. Applachian's first score came in the latter part of the tird quarter after they ahd blocked a punt on the Pirates' 30-yard. A succession of line drives brought another touchdown in the fourth quarter giving the Mountaineers a victory of 14 to 6. The last game of the season was ended with E.C.T.C. played Louisburg College Trojans, they won 13 to 0. Scoring was in the second and final quarters. Each touch- down came on the end of a 30-yard advance, with Gibson doing all the scoring. The Pirates made the first scoring advance with ground plays, but in the second a pair of passes set the stage for Gibson vial line plunges. 1st football team 1st organized football team These past paragraphs came from what was said in the yearbook of 1937 about the first organized football team of ECU.

Crush Memphis TAB EDITOR Watch out, football fans. PeeDee the Pirate and the cheerleaders are looking to get the Pirates all fired up from the start with some new homecoming traditions. "We want to start a new tradition by getting peo- ple in the stands during the pre-eame to greet the team said Kim Walker, cheerleading coach. Walker said that during the past home football games the cheerleaders have been trying to start this tradition, but have not been verv successful. They are hoping that Homecoming would give them a better turnout. For the half-time of Homecoming the cheerleaders will be wearing uniforms from the past. Also, they will invite the alumni to come out and cheer with them. The cheerleaders are taking part in the Homecoming parade, as well as appearing at area malls for Autograph Night. Their homecoming float will be sponsored by the fire department of Eastern Pines, Ualker said. Helping PeeDee and the cheerleaders will be the Marching Pirates. The popular cheer "Hey, hey, hey, EC you look so good to me" will be chanted and the alma mater will be sung. The words to the victo- ry song are: Cheer for East Car'lina, Cheer for old E.C We know we're the finest, Onward to victory! Go PIRATES Cheer for East Car'lina, Cheer on for old E.C Loyal and Bold, we're the purple and gold, WE ARE THE PIRATES OF E.C.U "Dunne half-time at the football game the band will play music from the Star Wars trilogy said Band Director Chris Knighten. In the middle of the half-time show, the Homroming court will be announced. Ihe Marching Vmates will also be attending the parade and the Pirate fest.

CALL TODAY 752-6366 Corner of 5th and Reade Streets in Downtown Greenville ' Wi�' � V Homecomings of the past build tradition Jensina Stuiz tab EDiroa (Research done by Roger Hammerer, compiled by Jemima Stun) East Carolina's Homecoming is known for its tradition of fun, spirit, remembrance and pride. So, let us go back in time and see now Homecomings of the past have shaped this year's. Looking back over the years to the first Homecoming back in 1932, it was called Founder's Day and celebrated in the spring. East Carolina's Teachers College's first Founder's Day was March 5,1932. Attending this event were eight out of 11 original faculty members. This day was celebrated thereafter every year on the Saturdav closest to March 8, the day ECTC was founded in 1907. The first Homecoming that involved sports was celebrated at ECTC on November 20, 1936. This day included morning programs, a barbecue dinner, then an afternoon game of football, fol- lowed by an evening dance. This pattern for Homecoming went on until fall of 1939 when Homecoming was held off until March 9, 1940 to allow Governor Clyde R. Hoey to decdicate the E.G. Flanagan building. The Homecoming of March 18,1941 included the addition of a parade before the game, which has become one of the highlights of the whole weekend. EuCs next Homecoming was not until the spring of 1946 because of World War II. Homecoming 1946 was known as "Veterans Homecoming and May Day" to honor all the ECTC alumni who had served in the armed forces. The next annual Homecoming took place on Nov. 8,1947. The football game was held at Guy Smith Stadium. Homecoming 1948, held October 16, had a mammoth pep rally and bonfire, followed by a torchlight parade the night before through downtown Greenville. On Friday night another parade took place downtown, led by the cheerleaders and marching hand wearing their new purple and gold uniforms. And again Homecoming weekend festivities began following a pattern. Pep rallies, bonfires, dances, receptions parades and theatrical productions occured during this week- end. The Homecoming football game of OctoberS, 1949 was held in the new col- lege stadium on east campus, which was dedicated during the first game of the season. Following the game a reception was thrown at the President's house on Fifth Street which was purchased the previous summer. Homecoming of October 14,1950 saw the first appearance of a towering paper- mache Pirate called "Captain Teco Symbolic of the school's spirit, it was the center of attention for many festivities to come. In August 1952, the summer school student government presented the school its first mascot, a Great Dane named "Boc This represented the school's "tough spirit" The big event of the Homecoming of October 10,1953 was the crowning of the first Homecoming Queen, Kitty Gerringer Brison of Draper, N.C chosen by the stu- dent body. The school's 50th anniversary was celebrated during the Homecoming of October 12,1957, but the most unforget- table homecoming was held on October 7, 1961. The theme. "Dixie Days com- memorated the centennial observance of the Civil Wat On the Friday night before, the School alowed its first rockandroU" concert on campus. On Saturday every- one was danced in civil war clothes, including college President Leo W. Jenkins, who was clad as a Confederte officer. Homecoming of October 20,1962 was threatened by a hurricane, included a nationally known star, and was the begin- ning of a new era for football. Activities of 1962 included as master of ceremonies Frank Gorshin, a comedian and actor, later known for his portrayal of the Riddler in the Batman television series. This Homecoming game was the final Sue played in tie old college stadium, e whole event was threatened by Hurricane Ella, which luckily held off after the celebration ended. Homecoming of September 21, 1963 was the first game to be played in the school's new stadium, James S. Ficklen Memorial Stadium. Governor Terry Sanford at the football game. The new sta- dium was not all the school wanted to show off; Homecoming was also used to debut the new computer housed in die basement of the Austin building. Homecoming of November 14, 1964 is remembered for two rea- sons:the Homecoming Wueen was crowned during the half-time ceremonies, instead of the night before; and East Carolina's then-undefeated and untied Pirates, known as the "Christenbury" team, were honored. The team named paid tribute to Coach John B. Christenbury, a coach from 1940 to 1943 who was killed in the Navy in 1944 The next successive Homecoming weekends were highlighted by big home entertainers such asihe Lettermen in 1963, Ray Charles in 1964, The Platters in 1965, The Four Seasons in 1966, The Happenings in 1967, Faul Anka in 1968, Dionne Warwick in 1969, Jethro Hill in 1971, and Stevie Wonder and the Beach Boys in 1972. There are so many years gone by, and so many memories to be shared, but many more homecoming memories are yet to (top right) Pottie McEwen was the 1960 Homecoming Queen.
