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.

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 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

Johnnie

manager with
Parking and
Traffic Services.
Do you believe
that ticket prices
are too high?
"The prices are too
high for 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

percent of the

To appeal a

said, the

form is filled out,
the ticketholder
has the choice of
submitting their
argument in
writing or going

If a written

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.

Four nominated to replace retiring
Durham County judge
DURHAM (AP) Four women have been nominated to replace retiring
Durham County District Court Judge Carolyn D. 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.

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.

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

Mexican Navy finds 2 tons of marijuana

area- .
The Daily Nation newspaper quoted the Meteorological Department

"I feel more sorry for the
general public because the
students tend to get there (the
parking tots) carry and monopolize
the space anyway Hessert said.
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.
"This year we sold about 3000
more season tickets and had about
1000 more Pirate Club members

one board deals with verbal
arguments. 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. I like doir
interviews and supplying the
students with accurate
information about parking tickets,
appeals, and tows. I like to help
educate the public. I want to
educate everyone on campus � if
I have to do it one person at a

It appears, however, that those

The mean grade-point average
has been creeping up about 1100th
of a point each year, says Thomas
Bickel, registrar at the Iw League
school. In the 99- 1993school
year, the mean GPA was 3.23; now
it's 3.28.
Other schools show similar
ascents in grades. Lehigh I University

The odd thing about grade
inflation is that it's happening when
first, the education system in this
country is in full crisis mode and
second, when ACT and SAT tests
aren't rising along with grades.
"That's the definition of grade
inflation: when grades go up over a
period of time and the achievement
grades represent doesn't go up
accordingly says Perry Zirkcl. a
professor in the education
department at Lehigh.
That's precisely the problem
with grade inflation. A's and B's arc-

gets one. and therefore they don't
mean much.
The problem is more marked in
the humanities than the hard
sciences, eduators note. "I'm a math
professor, andin math there are right
and wrong answers says
Bickel. "Grading humanities ess;is
is much more subjective: there's
more room for disagreement
Softer grading in humanities
classes sometimes lands English,
history and other such majors in
trouble when they take science-
classes.

Thursday. Octobar 23, 1997

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

ert geezer teeth. 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

Get your top-hat and cane,
gentlemen. Put on your gloves and
take up your parasols good ladies.
Welcome to the Victonan fantasy-
land of Jonathan Fire-Eater. This
dark, Dickensonian country is filled
with orphans, tragic ladies and
mysterious strangers. All the world
is a stage and as we dirty orphans
and unfortunate chimney sweeps
begin to perform our first theatrical
vignette, gather 'round for your
delight.
Jonathan Fire-Eater, an odd,
jumpy little quintet from NYC is
like no band to cut a record in the
past twenty years. Lead by the
gestural, dark vocals of Stewart
Lupton, the sparse guitar of Paul
Maroon and the watery lead organ
of Walter Martin, these young men
produce a sonic theatre that has
more philosophy than the Doors,
more space than anything U2 has
done in ten years, and most
importantly, it does not sound like
anything that's popular right now.
In fact, though the band does bear
striking resemblance at times to
late '70s, early '80s stadium rock at

Put those jack-o-lantems on your
dark porch, get those skeletons out
of the closet and let the spiritual
power of the moon take over your
sanity Halloween is here, filled
with spookiness and fear.
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. More of an intellectual

Alright, if you're such a big
fan, lets see if you know who
said these infamous lines.
1)" This is my costume. I'm a
homicidal maniac. They look

2) "We're on an express
elevator to Hell
3) "A naked American man stole
my balloons
4) Tve been cursed for-delving
into the mysteries of life
5)"Pimples are the Lord's way of

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.

If you remember back into the
dim past of your childhood, you'll
come upon the memory of the day
that you understood what the "f-
word" meant and why mommy and
daddy weren't too keen on hearing it
spew forth from your sweet little
mouth.
You'll also probably remember
having arguments with the
neighborhood gang as to the exact
uses for that and the other "wirty-
dords If these sound like your
memories of days long past, then
the fact that the four eight-year-olds
on Comedy Central's new cartoon
Southpark are more foul-mouthed
than that bald guy in Top Gun, or

cursing. At everything. At mom
(Cartman likes to belt out a "g.d at
his mom every chance he gets,) at
schoolteachers, at Death himself.
The terrible tykes are rude, selfish,
complainative and spoiled rotten.
Kenny has managed to die every
episode this far, each time more
gruesomely than the last. They're so
nastv that they've earned Southpark
a "TV-MA" rating.
Rr some ungodly reason though,
in spite of all that, the show is
actually side-splittingly funny. As
you sit there and gape in horror at
the little monsters, vou find yourself
enthralled by the witty, timely and
even deep humor that manages to
poke through the farts and body-
fluid humor that has been pleasing
the people with no brains for
thousands of years. It's not
Shakespeare or anything, but there
is something for the drooling
groundlings who must have their
simplistic "poop" jokes and there's
also some actual comedy writing
going on.

If you are looking for something that
will complement the weirdness of
Halloween, perhaps a good place to
start is VuleoHound's Complete Guide to
Cult Flicks and Trash Pics.
Be forewarned, it is mandatory
that you have completely bad taste
(in a good sort of way) to enjoy this
book and all the wonderfully
wretched movies it has to offer. In
the world of Cult Flicks and Trash Pics,
no-dollar quickies such as Hollywood
Chainsaw Hookers and Sorority Babes
at the Slimeball Bowl-A-Rama get four
bones, the VideoHound's top rating.
It is a sick, sick, sick, perfect world.
The guide has everything from
the truly bizarre (It's Dead � Let's
Touch It and The Weasel Dripped Blood)
to lame '80s movies (St. Elmo's Fire
and St. Elmo's Fire it's that lame)).
It not only covers sexploitation,
slasher, science fiction,
blaxploitation and trash, the guide
has its own categories: "Nazi
Zombies "Macho Men "Hell
High School "Ever'body Was Kung
Fu Fighting" and "Dental
Mayhem I mean, these aren't the
sort of movie subcategories that ol'
Leonard Maltin or Gene Seiskel
would cover. Roger Ebert, on the
other hand, might, considering he
was the screenwriter for the B-
movie classic, Beyond the Valley of the
Dolls.
VldeoHound gives cast and
directory indexes, as well as
alternate titles index. Rr example,
it may come in handy to know Eat

Blood Bath.

continued from page 8
Action horror � If you want big
guns and ejqplosion in your horror,
then look no further than James
Cameron's pulsating Aliens. 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.

will be released later this year
from The Replacements, another
band whose influence on current
alternative music can't be denied.
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.

moments, their sound is one of
the most original in a good while,
without sounding at all like a bad
copy of that music.
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

Although there's only been six
bisodes, the show has caught on
Idly, garnering more new viewers
this short span of time than any
s ow on Comedy Central, and any
c rtoon on cable TV, ever. It's been
s veral weeks since a new episode
li s been aired, but that's only
because the show's creators have
been busy with their Halloween
show which airs next Wednesday, in
which there is supposed to be a big
throw-down between Jesus (who
lives in Southpark and hosts a cable-
access show called "Jesus and Pals")
Christ and Satan. (I'll give you three
guesses who wins and it's not the
Prince of Darkness.) More shows
are planned for this season and the
show has already been contracted
for next season as well.
So get out the cheesy poofs and
the happy tarts. "Terrence and
Phillip" got canceled because the
parents of Southpark picketed in
New York, but the First
Amendment is protecting this sassy,
sick new show. Word on the street is
that Kenny is going to die in this

COMPETING
WITH ADVERSITYVJ
Runner dedicated
toward top finish
STEPHEN SCHRAMM
STAFF WHITE
Your senior season in any sport
should be when your training,
dedication and years of
experience pay off. 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

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

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.

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.
Brandon Tilley also broke the men's
200-yard breaststroke record. Kesier
Pinther and Brougha! Martin broke
the record for the 400-yard relay
medley. Richard Chen broke the
record for the 200-yard fly.
"It's a good opportunity for our
swimmers to compere against each
other Kobe said.
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

Stadium dedication set for next year
Pail Kaplan
STAFF WRITER
With Homecoming this weekend and this Saturday's game against
Memphis, everyone is wondering, when will the stadium upper-
deck finally be completed?
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

INDIANAPOLIS (API-
Purdue's Boilermakers. ranked
among the nation's elite in football
for the first time in 13 years, owe
their success to quarterback Billy
Dicken. 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.

more victory to guarantee the
Boilermakers' first winning season
since 1984, is surprised by the way
Dicken has taken over.
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.

The East Carolinian
Senate passes bill to register
sports agents
HARRISBURG (AP) � The State
Athletic Commission annually fields
hundreds of complaints against sports
agents or inquiries about an agent's
background.
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.

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

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.
That's the best combined start for
the two since 1986, when the Giants

Homecoming game
ECUJVlemphis
face off for
eighth time
Amanda Ross
sports editor
ECU is no stranger to the Memphis
football team. 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.

Five losses brings frustrations
Players looking to
rebound .record win
Ah an d� Ross
SMUTS EDITOR
It's been a rough year � just ask the
players.
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.

ECU'S first football team: no coach, no field
Editor's note: The information
for the following chronicle of
early football teams was found
in several yearbooks located in
Joyner Library.
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.

Cheerleaders, Pee Dee,
Marching Pirates ready to
start new Homecoming
game traditions
Get Ready for a
PIRATE INVASION!
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.
STOP SHOP features one of
Greenville's widest variety & largest

Homecomings of the past build tradition
Jensina Stuiz

(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
