SGA allocates funds to cam
anizations
Fees cut in several
departments
CRAIG D. RAMEY
StOTVIWTHI
Student life is expected to become more
convenient due to an increasein funds.
Mendcnhall Student Center and
Student Health will show the most changes
from the additional money.
"Mcndenhaii wiU benefit tremendously"
said Sean McManus, SGA vice president. An
increase in technology fees will go toward a
new computer lab in the basement of
Mendenhail, making up the entire East
Wing. There will be 44 new computers in
the kb. There are also plans to buiid a study
cafe in the basement with a television and
desks.
"We're hoping to extend the hours so it
will be open during the more non-
traditional, says McManus. "We're hoping
that will make it a little more user-friendly.
"When the construction on Student
Health is completed, you won't even
recognize the building McManus said.
"Plans to renovate the inside and add on to
the outside will make the building three
times its present size. This change will not
occur overnight but in stages. The small
waiting and examination rooms will expand
to make it a more comfortable experience for
students
These renovations are expected to begin
within the next six months.
Monday, Nov. 17, the SGA voted on the
distribution of the extra $36 each student
will pay in fees. The biggest increase the
State of North Carolina will albw is 5
percent of the previous year's fees. After
different departments campaigned for the
new funds, there was an additional $8 that
needed ro be trimmed to drop the figure to
$36, which is the maximum increase.
Technology, athletics and recreational
services were among those trimmed.
Some of the departments requesting
funds were Student Recreational Services,
Student Life, and Informational Technology.
Also at the meeting was Vice Chancellor
of Financial Affairs Richard Brown. Brown
was present to answer any distribution
questions that students attending the
meeting had. After each speaker explained
his or her plans for new funds, the students
asked specific questions about fund
distribution. Following the students'
questions, a motion was made by a student
legislator to make the final decision.
"This decision has been in the hands of
student government for several years
because it was thought that they would have
a better idea of where students would like
their money to be spent McManus said.

should become

This would be accomplished

Stock market drop means
little to campus investments
Short term change does
not affect long term
increases
jENKt.Pie. VlCKKRS
STAFF WtlTF.I
Although the stock market prices fell a few
weeks ago, ECU wasn't affected.
Richard Brown, vice chancellor for
administration and finance, said that short
term increases and decreases in the market
don't change anything at all if one looks at
the long term increases in the market.
"S&P 500 began at 720 and increased to
983; the decrease to 928 a few weeks ago
doesn't compare to the overall increase in
value, which is still a 25 percent increase for
the year. The stock market is up
significantly since Jan. 1. The recent
decline was only giving back some of the
return. The Dow Jones Industrial average is
still up 17.4 percent, which is still a great
rate of return Brown said.
The university has a significant portion of
their investments and endowments in
domestic common stock. ECU also has a
sizable portion of their portfolio in fixed rate
investment bonds, which moderate the
future rate of return. When the stock
market goes down, the investment return
also goes down.
"ECU'S portfolio is extremely diversified
to reduce the risk Brown said.
ECU has gone through considerable
measures to ensure a stable position within
the stock market. Jim Lamer, vice
chancellor for institutional advancement,
explained that the stocks of ECU are long-
term investments. "The return this year has
been significantly better for ECU Loftier
said.
"Our stocks are arranged in a Strategic
Asset Allocation. This is a concept that won
a Nobel Prize. This is the most significant
way to invest in securities to maximize the
potential for gain and minimize the
potential for loss Lanier said.
The stocks are also placed in growi
companies like Gateway and Microsoft
which have good records of growth.

STAFF WRITKR
Buffalo wings, beer and good friends are famous
for making tailgating a memorable event among
Pirate fans, but officials say many people are
unaware of tailgating policy.
ECU officials want fans to have a good time,
but unfortunately most
people still don't know the
rules when it comes to
bringing and consuming
alcoholic beverages.
"It's basically common
sense said Associate Dean
of Students Karen Boyd.
"Anytime you have 30,000
people packed into an area
where a drug is around,
you're asking for trouble.
Alcohol is shown to be found
in high violence crimes, not
to mention it plays a pan in

Despite many attempts
to educate the public on
what is against the law,
officials are still finding just
as many people bteaking the
law without knowing what it
is they are doing wrong.
Most students don't even
know there is an alcoholic
violation law.
Boyd says the law is
clearly stated in the Clue Book
under the Code of Conduct on
what is acceptable and unacceptable with the
alcohol policv. .
The law states that if a student is not of age
to drink (N.C. law states you have to be 21),
then the student can't drink anywhere on
campus. This law holds true for all universities
in North Carolina. Most students are aware of
state law, but there are a few more rules that
students are unclear on.
For anyone 21 or older, drinking can only be
done in university approved areas
Greenville which is concerned with the
consumption of alcohol.
Non-fortified beer and wine js permitted
outside the gates of Minges. Liquor is not
allowed, whether already mixed or straight from
the bottle. Drinking alcohol after passing the
gates is against the law.
Boyd also said that many times it allows those
drinking students to sober up before driving
home.

North Carolina studies minor now available to students
Knowledge of N.C
advantage in work
force
Sarah vallierf.
STAFF WHITER
The North Carolina studies
program is available to all students
as a minor who are interested in
learning more about the state.
Information and many
interesting facts about North
Carolina's natural and cultural
history, and contemporary issues
and goals are available through the
North Carolina Studies Program.
This program has recently
become available as a minor. Karen
Baldwin, the new director of the
North Carolina Studies
Department and an English
professor, describes the program as
a strongly multi-disciplinary
program in which the courses
actively integrate many academic
studies - geology, history, literature,
geography, folklore, biology,
anthropology, archeology, ecology
and political science
This minor, useful for any major,
is directed toward people who plan
on living and working in North
Carolina.
ECU is the only University in
North Carolina to offer this
program. Therefore, the students
who obtain this minor will have a
big advantage in the work field.
The comprehensive knowledge
gained about North Carolina's
politics, education, business, history
and social work will offer a good
competitive edge.
The rnijor requirements consist
of a otal of 24 semester hours.
These hours must be approved by
the director of the N. C. studies
program. The only specific course
requirements are six semester hours
of introductory courses and senior
seminars and nine semester hours
of core courses including North
Carolina English, geology and
history courses. The left over nine
semester hours arc to be selected
from at least two different
disciplines. These electives
provide a lot of variation and can be
tailored to anyone's interests. Many
of the students currently enrolled in
the introduction course, NCST
2000, find the integrating features
very exciting.
Baldwin says the purpose of the
minor is to "provide the state with
the next generation of 'saders in
politics, law, education, science, and
industry
This minor allows people to pull
together a background of subjects to
help their major.
Baldwin, as the new director,
describes the program's goals as
"providing for ncntraditiona!
students as well as the students it
currently provides for
Nonttaditional students are
students from other areas and
people already teaching. Teaching
is an excellent career to use with
this minor. John Byrd, an
anthropologist and teacher for the
NCST 2000 course in the spring,
commented on the advantages of
prospective teachers taking the
course.
The North Carolina Studies
Program fills a need for multi-
disciplinary training courses for
prospective teachers, because
classroom teachers must integrate
many fields of information at once
in their lessons and classroom
activities. In the past, teachers
could take a variety of liberal arts
courses, but no one course tied it all
together. Introduction to North
Carolina Studies meaningfully
integrates humanities, science and
social sciences. The course allows
students to see the connections
between land forms and human
history, between current policies
andpopular culture J
This program is attraefmg
attention from places besides ?the
ECU campus. The UNC public TV
show, North Carolina Now, featured
the North Carolina Studies program
on a recent segment.
If taken advantage of, this
program can offer many advantages
and opportunities for extensive
knowledge of North Carolina and
competition in the work force.
Students interested in more
information regarding this program
and its advantages can contact John
Byrd, course coordinator, at 328-
6760, or Karen Baldwin, director of
N.C. Studies, at 328-6726.
Iraq's chemical, biological weapons ready within days
Diplomats won't
consider lifting
sanctions
LONDON (AP) Iraq, which is
racing down the Tjnitcd Nations
over Saddam Hussein's refusal to
admit some U.N. weapons
inspectors, could have chemical and
biological weapons ready for use
within days, British government
sources said in a report Tuesday
And it could build missiles in
just a few months capable of hitting
key targets in Israel and Saudi
Arabia with chemical or biological
warheads, according to a
government risk assessment report,
obtained by the news agency Press
Association.
Britain's Foreign Office said the
report was released to selected
British
media oudets but would disclose
no other details.
"This is informal on that needs
to be in the public domain said
Foreign
Office spokesman Andrew Page.
The report said it could not ruie
out the possibility that Saddam had
successfully hidden "a handful" of
largely complete missiles and
chemical and biological weapons.
"In a crisis these could be
available for use within a matter of
weeks or perhaps even days the
report said. "Provided it still has key
components and that is unclear
Iraq could within a few months
build, with little risk of detection,
missiles capable of hitting Israel
and key targets in Saudi Arabia
But the report added that the
large-scale production of chemical
warfare agents in Iraq would
"almost certainly" be detected
quickly.
The report was more optimistic
about Saddam's well-known nuclear
capability, saying it would take him
at least five years to produce a
crude air-delivered nuclear bomb -
if he could procure the necessary
equipment from overseas.
Production of a long-range
nuclear missile would take a further
four years, the report said it was
believed.
That would give the United
Nations time to detect these
weapons "well before they reached
fruition the report said.
U.S. President Bill Clinton on
Tuesday ordered more U.S.
warplanes to the Persian Gulf as the
standoff continued over Saddam's
decision Thursday to expel six
American weapons experts from the
U.N. inspection team.
The remaining 68 non-American
inspectors also withdrew in protest,
halting a U.N. program to monitor
the disposal of Iraq's weapons of
mass destruction and chemical
weapons.
U.N. monitors have said that on-
site inspections are crucial to
ensuring that Iraq does not try to
revive its banned programs to build
chemical and biological weapons
and long-range missiles.
"If the U.N. Special
Commission were to be removed or
prevented from operating for a
sustained period, Iraq could
produce within a matter of months
a small number of chemical or
biological weapons, including
missile warheads the British
intelligence report said.
The United Nations imposed
sweeping economic sanctions
against Iraq after Baghdad's 1990
invasion of Kuwait. U.N. diplomats
said they will not consider lifting
the sanctions until Iraq fully
cooperates with the arms monitors.
U.N. weapons inspectors have
said they are stunned by Iraq's
success in circumventing the
sanctions to develop a deadly
armory of biological weapons.
Iraq's program is believed to be
extensive, with lethal supplies of
anthrax, bubonic and pneumonic
plague, botulism and aflatoxin.
U.N. officials believe Saddam
also has the ability to produce the
highly toxic VX liquid nerve agent.

prompting the remaining 68 non-
American inspectors to withdraw in
protest. The moves halted the U.N.
program to monitor the disposal of
Iraq's weapons of mass destruction
and chemical weapons.

is free of such weapons, the United

addition, thousands of Iraqis
continued to gather at factories,
foflning " human shields" to lessen
the likelihood of American strikes
on those facilities.

capacity for the last five years said
Dr. James Hix, and ECU Chemistry
professor and member of ACS. "We
have all of the faculty and students
they will allow us and our classes are
always full. Around 93' our intro
classes jumped from 400 to 600 and
has pretty much stayed that way
ECU needs to keep pumping out
this many graduates because the
need for them is at an all time high.
Pharmaceuticals are the leading
division of the professional field that
is in need of new chemistry
graduates. It is chemistry and
biochemistry that branch out and
create all of the new drugs and
pharmaceuticals on the market.
Catalytica Pharmaceuticals recently
bought out Glaxo-Welcome which
was the leading employer of
chemists in Eastern North Carolina.
After the buy out, many chemists
were worried about their
employment futures in our region.
But it wasn't long before Catalytica
was in need of even more chemistry
graduates.
"We've never had a difficulty in
placing our students Hix said.
'They get snatched right up
Students who have attained their
PhD. are more likely to get hired
first. ECU's main campus does not
offer PhD's so students are forced to
apply to the medical school where
degrees such as pharmacology and
biochemistry are offered.
"Most of our graduates want to
go on and pursue their PhD Hix
said.
Chemistry students without
their Ph.D's can use co-op as a way
to enhance their experience.
According to ACS, students with co-
op experience are the most sought
after. Catalytica Pharmaceuticals
currently offers several co-op
positions for ECU students. Most
co-op employees want the student
to work full time for the four to six
month span of time they are hired to
work. This creates a big problem for
students who are interested in
taking that route.
"Most upper level chemistry
classes are sequential, so if they miss
a semester to do co-op, they are
actually missing a year Hix said.
The next class the student needs
to take will not be offered for
another year. As an alternative, many
students choose to do analytical
research in laboratories on campus.
Computers
continued Irom page 1
Angela Perry, also a sophomore
elementary education major, said, "I
already have a computer so that
would be unnecessary tuition
However, not all students are
opposed to this proposal.
'There are a lot of people on
campus who don't have computers
at home especially commuters and
we need money from somewhere to
finance them, in this day and age a
lot of professors are requiring work
to be done on computers
sophomore Koneisha Ward, a
business administration major, said.
"Besides the cost) is not that much
really
Price said a possibility that is
more realistic is for individual
departments or programs to require
computers for students.
The decision to require
computers at WCU makes the
school the first public university in
NC to adopt such a requirement.
Wake Forest University, as well as
other private institutions across the
country already require this of
students.
"What we're trying to do is
ensure every graduate of WCl'J
has the basic skills necessary to be
competitive in an economy that
relies increasingly on information

There's no denying that we live in a computer age. Some people fuss about how dependent
we have become on computers and other forms of technology, how we can no longer think for
ourselves, et cetera, and those people may have valid points. But despite all that, computers
are here to stay, and if the trend continues, they will only become more important as the years
8? .
So it seems only logical that colleges across the state and the country are now considering
the option of requiring students to own computers. Some colleges and universities are already
taking that step. Wfestern Carolina University recently became the first state school in North
Carolina to initiate this requirement, making many wonder if other schools, including ECU,
will follow suit.
Wfe at The East Carolinian believe required computers for all students is a great idea in
theory, for all the reasons named above?we live in a computer age, we're all going to have to
use them sooner or later, we need computer skills to be competitive in the job market, and all
that jazz.
But reality is different. From what we've been told, no one has said anything about the
students being given computers?they are going to have to buy them. Saying that computers
are not cheap is an understatement, and we just wonder how this massive move to campus-
wide computer ownership is going to be financed.
At WCU, the answer is the cost will be added in with tuition, and, therefore, is eligible to
be covered by financial aid. Our response to that is, what about those students who already
own computers? They will be paying extra tuition for something they already have. Secondly,
anyone who believes covering the expense with financial aid is as easy as saying it will be so is
living in la-la land. Not everyone is eligible for financial aid, and a lot of the aid students are
available for is in the form of loans which are paid off over year after graduation.
Paying for the computers is only one aspect of this issue. There is also the question of
whether individual departments may require particular types of computers with particular
programs, or whether the entire student body will simply be issued one kind. If the students
are left on their own to choose their computers and buy them, will there be anyone to advise
them on the best kind to get for their major and the kind of work they will be doing on it? Will
tfce school have staff on hand to help students get the most value for their extra tuition? What
about printers, modems, and any other extras? There are countless questions that come with
even an individual's choice to buy a computer for themselves and their own purposes. If a
college, or an entire university system, chooses to require computers for all students, those
questions will multiply exponentially. University administrators need to consider this and plan
very carefully.
And it seems as if they are aware of all these concerns. They have discussed the issue, but
no one has blazed ahead with idealistic views that requiring computers for all students would
be as simple as making the decision and would only benefit students.
We would simply like to remind the administrators in power, the ones who make these
decisions on our behalf, to keep all these concerns in mind before they do anything. A
computer for everyone sounds like a great idea in theory, but unfortunately it's not that simple.

Exchange poses problems for user
Microsoftgetting free beta-
testing out ofus, but we have
to put up with a system that
can't even match up to a
system that is over five years
old
A couple of weeks ago, the
computer here in the paper office
experienced some slight operator
error. Someone uneducated
accidentally erased the software
that allowed users to access the
flCUVM system. So, I was forced to
i?c the new and improved
Microsoft Exchange system, this
shouldn't have been a problem,
right? It should have been a great
opportunity for yours truly to learn
ail about the great new system,
become familiar with it, and
eventually switch over to it from the
old dinosaur system. Right?
Wrongo. While it's true that
Microsoft is forcefully advancing,
arid Bill Gates may one day rule the
known universe, the simple fact of
nc matter is this popularity has no
real connection with product
quality. Of course, Microsoft has
never been a bastion of creativity.
Their golden bread winner,
Windows, was nothing more than a
copy of the operating system
Apple's Steve Jobs swiped from
Xerox in the 70's.
lb put it more bluntly, Microsoft
Exchange is an overrated piece of
crap (if intangible things like
software can be so called). Let's
compare the two systems, shall we?
Firstly, there is the simple matter of
understanding how each system
works. Anyone familiar with the VM
system will know that every option
and tool available is operated by
pressing a function key (like Fl, F2,
etc.) ON the screen, each of these
options is given a name correlating
to the function. For example, if one
wants to forward mail, one presses
the F-key that has the words
"forward mail" beside it. In
Exchange, this function is enacted
by a strange little icon that has a
picture of a person's head an an
arrow. No actual words offer any
guidance as to what this icon
represents. To make things worse,
four of these icons arc pictures of
people's heads with arrows pointing
in various directions. One assumes
that the direction of the arrow
distinguishes between "forward
"reply, and others.
As a person unfamiliar with the
existential relationship between the
human mind and the spiritual
essence of internet software has no
clue what these arrows represent, it
doesn't help that this particular
iconography in no way correlates
with the former iconography of
previous Microsoft software.
If one figures out how to use the
dang program, there is then the fact
that it doesn't do much. It's not at
all flexible or easy, and being Web-
based, its prone to the same foibles
as Netscape. In the VM system one
can assign nicknames to specific
addresses. That is to say, if I mail
Angee often, and I don't want to
type in an interminably long address

Presidents' lives needlessly wasted
the lack of technological
innovation and advancement
coupled with ignorance
needlessly wiped out lives that
could have been saved easily.
Indeed, the lives of Abraham
Lincoln, James Garfteld, and
William McKinley fell prey to
carelessness and ignorance.
every day, I can assign that address
the name "Angee" and from then on,
I can just type in the name "Angee"
and the system will automatically
mail it to her address. Pretty neat,
huh?
It gets better. I can also assign to
a specific nickname a group of other
nicknames. In other words, I can
make an automatic mailing list. If 1
mail the same information to the
same people often, I don't have to
type in 20 e-mail addresses, I can
just type in one keyword and it will
mail to them all. Does Exchange do
this? Not on your life. If it does, I
couldn't find out how in the five
hours i spent on the system looking
for it.
Exchange docs not offer a "print"
option either. One can use the
"print screen" option in Netscape,
but then one gets printouts of all
the graphics, and one has to print
each screen of a several screen letter
separately. In order to print an
entire letter without this
information, one must copy the
text, paste it to a word-processor
and print from that word processor.
So if Exchange is darned crappy,
why the heck are we being urged to
use it? Is it because Microsoft gave
it to the school for free? If so then
not only is Microsoft getting free
beta-testing out of us, but we have
to put up with a system that can't
even match up to a system that is
over five years old, which in
computer life-spans, is ancient.
Thank God, some angel from
CIS did come over to the paper
office and reinstall ECUVM
software, so I can go about my e-
mailing in peace. Perhaps one day,
Microsoft will wise up and work up
a better system. In the meantime
I'll be an old fogey and use the tried
and true ECUVM.
The nation's history has been
tarnished with the assassinations of
four U.S. presidents and the
attempted assassinations of about
six others. Yet, the lives of three of
the four assassinated presidents
should have been saved. The
bullets alone did not kill those
presidents. Instead, the lack of
technological innovation and
advancement coupled with
ignorance needlessly wiped out
lives that could have been saved
easily. Indeed, the lives of Abraham
Lincoln, James Garfield, and
William McKinley fell prey to
carelessness and ignorance. There
was no hope for President Kennedy,
who lost virtually half of his head in
Dallas in 1963.
On Jury 2,1881, President James
Garfield was shot by a deranged
office seeker, Charles Guiteau. The
president, accompanied by James
G. Blaine, Secretary of State,
suffered until September 19, 1881
when he succumbed to a vicious
death by blood poisoning in
Elberon, New Jersey. Interestingly,
the famous inventor, Alexander
Graham bell of Boston, and Simon
Newcombe (Maryland) worked
painstakingly to save Garfield's life.
Bell used his telephone invention to
fashion together a device to detect
I metal bullets. Mr. Newcombe
assisted the inventor. Meanwhile,
? doctors, medical students, quacks,
and other concerned people around
the world sent herbs, detailed
' papers suggesting how to treat the
' president, and special medicines
, which decorated the White House
basement.
Why did Garfield lose his life on
'September 19; 1881? Alexander
Graham Bell, who tested his special
' metal detector on wounded soldiers
(from Civil War) and other
'volunteers, used it to determine
, where a bullet was within Garfield's
body. The problem was that,
'although the detector was
legitimate, Bell and Newcombe left
the president on the mattress with
coiled springs. The humming
sound which gave the doctors hope
was, actually emitted because of
interference with the coiled springs.
Had the president's body been
placed on 'the floor, his life would
have?been saved. The bullet would
have' 'been located. Instead,
Garfield's' succumbed to sepsis, a
deadly infection. However, Garfield
would have been a paraplegic
becaAse his spine was shattered.
i On April 14, 1865, Abraham
Lincoln was shot by John Wilkes
Booth who was later killed by
Boston Corbctt on Richard
Garrctt's tobacco farm in Virginia on
April 26, 1865. In any event,
Charles Leave, the first surgeon at
Lincoln's side, made a controversial
probe through a blood clot that had
formed on the left side of Lincoln's
skull. Using his left finger on the
left-hand, Leale opened the door for
infection, sepsis. Further, Lulls
probing of the president's skull,
arguably, ruptured additional blood
vessels that were not hit by the ball
sho from Booth's derringer.
Nevertheless, in similar cases where
le were shot with a derringer,
the survival rare was much
than the mortality rate.
Charles F. Taft, the Surgeon
General, used a Nealton's probe to
find the ball shot within Lincoln's
brain, he drove the probe about two
and a half inches within the
president's skull. . The ball,
according to Assistant Surgeon J.
Janvier Wood ward, had traveled in a
path different from that speculated
by Taft. Incidentally, Wood ward
performed the autopsy on Lincoln's
body. The Surgeon General
probably made additional wounds as
was the case with Leave.
On September 4, 1901, William
McKinley was shot while he
attended the fcan American
Exposition in Buffalo, new York, he
lingered in agony Una! September
14, 1901. McKinley died of
gangrene poisoning which could
have been prevented. Shot by Leo
Ckolgosz, McKinley never
recovered because a bullet which
Hit him in the chest was not found;
therefore, this contributed to
McKinlcy's death. McKinley's
hicf physician, Presley Riley, did a!i
he could to save the president.
McKinley died while singing his
favorite song, "Nearer my God to
thee
In an age of antiseptic surgery,
the aforementioned presidents
would have survived their fatal
wounds. Sepsis was responsible for
the deaths of Lincoln, Garfield, and
McKinley. Antiseptics would have
been extremely useful in those
cases. Had Charles Leale and
Charles Taft been more careful and
conscious of germs, Lincoln
probably would have survived.1 At
the very least, his life would have
been prolonged substantially. Also,
Garfield's life should have been
saved had the telephone inventor,
Bell, used more common sense.
The gangrene poisoning that
choked the life from McKinley
could have been prevented had
McKinley's surgeons been more
thorough in their examinations of
the president and germ conscious.
LETTER
to the Editor
Showcase all senior exhibits, not just one
The art school here at East
Carolina is one of the most
reputable of all the departments on
our great campus. The amount of
talent that flows through Jenkins
Halls is astounding. Why then
would you put one student's senior
exhibiiton on such a pedestal (see
Lifestyle article from Nov. 18th)?
Everyone that graduates as an art
major is to put on a senior show,
everyone.
Is Mr. Farkas' idea of doing
medical prints really that admirable?
We say no. People in the past here
and" away from ECU have been

attention tp the dozens and dozens

to Farkas' work because he is good

jourriafism no matter how you view

you would cast aside the hundreds
of other art students who have
worked literally day and night for
years just to bring attention to one
studnet who drew something school
related and has the luck to be the
assistant editor's friend.
The majority of senior
exhibitions work with a theme as
their foundation. Art students work
diligently to try something new to
break new ground. This journalism
with a slant mocks the majority.
This kind of "journalism" should
have no place in a large campus

One of the dilemmas that artists
face is the pursuit of the artistic
dream in contrast with the
accessibility and marketability of
art and new ideas. Leonardo
DaVinci used to be so caught up in
hb dreams that he would rarely
finish a work before a new one had
captured his attention. There is, of
course, the issue of "selling out of
leaving one's ideals behind in order
to maintain the privilege of actually
making art that comes in to play as

On their self-titled album, this

SENIOR WRITES
Surprise! In no time at all, the
holidays will be here. In a mere
week families ail over the country
will be sitting down at the table
preparing to gorge themsAes on
turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce,
and anything else that appears
edible and is in reach. Sou quick
grade school quiz: Why?
Of course, we do it to celebrate
the pilgrims' survival in
Massachusetts. After landtnfithere
in the Mayflower, the- pi
(who, despite popular belielwere
not Puritans but Separatists) went
through many hardships such as
the harsh cold. Being from cities in
England, they weren't exactly
skilled hunters, so the Indians,
having pity on them, decided to
help them out. The Indians
brought food for a feast as a way of
sharing and developing peace. Of
course this peace didn't last for
long once the Pilgrims'
descendants and other immigrants
to the New World needed Western
Expansion, but the memory still
remains as people nationwide stuff
their faces annually in
reenactment of the original feast.
Of course, as with any holiday or
event, there's always stories
behind the stories, so tie on a bib,
pour some more gravy on your
plate and dive into the world of fun
Thanksgiving facts.
There are myths that surround
Thanksgiving and the Pilgrims. For
one thing many people think that
the Mayflower was headed to
Virginia and got off course. In
actuality, Virginia was almost the.
entire Eastern seaboard at the
time, so Massachusetts was
considered Northern Virginia. The
Pilgrims had hoped to land on
modern day Long Island and
headed there after landing in Cape
Cod. However, rough waters nearly
shipwrecked them and they
turned back.

golden days of railroading. Now it's better
known for Bob Wills, a pioneer of country
music known as the King of Western Swing.
Wills was raised on a farm just north of the
small town. Now, every last Saturday in April,
the town hosts the Bob Wills Reunion. Crowds
swell from 10-15,000 for the event.
Other times of the year the man is still

Mother Hicks opens tonight at McGinnis
STEPHANIE kLSSEI.I,
ST UK WRITER
College is a time on our lives when we search
for who we truly are. Wc question our ideas,
beliefs and dreams in pursuit of our place in the
grand scheme of things. Susan Vczeder's award-
winning play, Mother flip's, is the story of a
young girl's search far her identity and
parentage. American Folklore, authentic folk
music and American Sign Language combine to
help tell this deeply touching tale.
Set during the Great Depression in small
town Illinois, everyone if the town of Ware
believes that Mother Hicks is a witch. Times
are hard for Wire residents with people losing
their jobs and money disappearing overnight.
Townspeople blame the mysterious Mother
Hicks, but she isn't the only one the town is
talking about.
Girl is an orphan who has spent her life being
passed from family to family. Also, there's Tuc,
a deaf boy who collects the town's cast-offs in
hb wagon. These two outsiders together with
Mother Hicks, arc unlikely principals in this
dramatic comedy.
The play deals sensitively with issues that
arc common to people of ail ages. It explores
the causes of prejudice and fear bred of
misunderstanding. It illustrates our need to
belong versus social out casting, the destructive
power of misperceptions and
misunderstanding, and the redeeming power of
love and acceptance.
The East Carolina Playhouse production of
Mother Hicks opens tonight and runs through
Nov 25, with nightly performances at 8 p.m.
except on Sunday which has only a 2 p.m.
matinee. Individual tickets are on sale from $8-
9 for the General Public,$7-8 for ECU faculty
and staff, and from $5-6 for ECU students and
children 12 and under, they can be purchased in
person in the lobby of McGuinness or by phone
at 328-6829 or 328-1726. The box office is
open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. until
4p.m. and until 8:15 p.m. on performance dates.

Hollywood's history of translating
literature to film is notorious.
Countless times, film adaptations
of books have not onrybeen totally
bad literary translations but also
bad movies in general. Anyone out
there remember Demi Moore's sad
attempt to be taken seriously in a
very loose adaptation of Nathaniel
Hawthorne's The ScarUt Letter.
Trust me, it wasn't pretty
But, for every 10 teirible film
adaptations there is one shining
exception. Within the last year
alone, such notable pieces of
literature as The Engfuk Patient,
Hamlet and even Contact were
turned into intelligent, enthralling
films which not only did justice to
their sources but also, in many
ways, added to them.
One of last year's most critically
praised films also happened to
Debased on one of the most
respected American plays ever
written, Arthur Millers The
Crucible. The film never made it to
Greenville theaters (what else is
new), but it is now a prime video
choice for ail those who have
already seen the summer
blockbusters like The Lost World
and have no desire whatsoever to
waste one moment of precious life
arbage like Batman and Robin.
For those unfamiliar with the
play, The Crucible bases itself in one
of America's darkest historical
moments, that of the Salem witch
hunts. The time is 1692, a time
when puritanical ideologies ruled
the land. This is a time when God's
power was to be obeyed and, if
necessary, feared. Only the
righteous person, the pure, would
ever be accepted into God's grace.
This is a time when religious law is
so rigid that even dancing is seen
as unfit, something someone
possessed by the Devil would do.
The Devil, although never seen,
plays a big role in this narrative
simply because everything that
goes horribly wrong is blamed on
him. When a group of young
women are discovered dancing
around a fire in the middle of the
night, fear arises in the small,
stable community of Salem. Are
these women witches doing
Satan's evil bidding? The audience
immediately knows that such is
not the case, but that makes the
ensuing turmoil all the more tragic.
When the Puritan leaders
confront the girls and start making
accusations, the girls, stricken with
fear and confusion, begin to make
their own accusations. The first
major stone is cast when an African
slave named Tituba (played

is centered out as using her
"voodoo" sorcery to affect everyone.
Tituba is immediately abused and
tormented, resulting in her telling
another lie and accusing someone
else of witchcraft. Chaos ensues,
with one lie after another, one
accusation after another, flooding
over the community. Before you
know it, Salem's got itself a good of
fashioned witch hunt on its hands.
Admittedly, liberties are taken
with history here, but that does not
take away from the tragic power of
this production. Arthur Miller
wisely took it upon himself to write
the screenplay from his own play,
and the result is a masterful
example of literary adaptation,
fueled with complex character
relationships that build on one
another, unresolvable conflicts that
increasingly get worse, and poetic
dialogue that is rarely witnessed in
modem cinema.
Exhibiting the same
professionalism as Miller is Director
Nicholas Hytner, who illustrated his
keen vision of madness in the
modern-day masterpiece. The
Madness of King George. Hytner and
cinematographer Andrew Dunn
visually capture the claustrophobic
atmosphere of rhe Puritan
community with darkly lit interiors
and murky exteriors, creating a
foggy sensation that seems to not
only accurately recreate the reality
of a 17th-century community but
also represent the blurred truths
running throughout the film.
But Hytner's greatest
achievement comes in the form of
his actors. He casts his production
wonderfully and, as a result, gets
top-notch performances from
everyone, particularly Daniel Day-
Lewis, Winona Ryder and Joan
Allen. As one of the few voices of
reason in the insane community,
Day-Lewis develops the character
of John Proctor from a man who
wants to stay away from Salem's
problems to one who is forced in
the thick of the problem as a result
of his own foolish pride. Along the
way. Proctor transforms into a man
with devoted ideals that he will die
for. Day-Lewis' performance begins
on a rather subdued note, but by
the end, when Proctor spits in the
face of Salem's religious elite, he is a
ball of fire that still burns even after
the end credits are rolling.
As the two women in Proctor's
life, Ryder and Allen perfectly play
polar opposites. Going against type,
Ryder fills her adulterous Abigail
Williams with such a selfish evil that
one almost hopes to see her dead
corpse hanging from a rope. In
direct contract with Ryder's
conniving liar, Allen's depiction of
Proctor's devoted wife, Elizabeth,
captures the idyllic essence of the
good puritan woman, someone who
truly believes in the path of God.
However, lurking beneath this good
woman is a sadness and desperation
that is unmistakable. Allen docs not
get the opportunity to shout out an
animated monologue like Day-
Lewis or Ryder, but her
performance is still every bit as
potent.
The Crucible succeeds on so many
levels that even those die-hard fans
of the play may forgive any
alterations the film makes with
Miller's original masterpiece. It
accomplishes what so many films
seem incapable of. It is
melodramatic without being silly, it
is complicated without being
incomprehensible, and it vividly
paints a violent world without being
gratuitously violent.
More importantly, it respects its
literary source, making it not a film
that you watch mindlessly as you
munch away on some popcorn.
Instead, it is something you focus
on as you absorb what is being
presented. Not many movies do
that for its audience, except for
maybe Sorority Babes in the
Slimebalt Boxel-A-Rama.
Sixpence

other musicians have faced, both in
theme and actuality, but very few,
especially in the recent past, have
addressed it so well. With bands like
Nirvana and Nine Inch Nails, the
socialist idea that money is bad and
marketing a sin has permeated
much of their work. (NIN's Broken
is nothing more than a whiny rant at
TVT records; In Utero is just as
much Cobain's rejection of stardom
as his shotgun shell was.) For
Sixpence, these questions don't
have such easy answers as the
grunge movement's proletariat
moralism.
All of this aside, Sixpence have
made a damn fine record. The
group's principle composer Matt
Slocum, also the band's guitarist
and cellist, has attempted
something of a high order for rock
music, that is, he has tried to push
beyond the confines of individual
songs. Of course, this is not a new
idea, as any fan of David Bowie or
the Beatles will recognize.
But this isn't a concept album
like Sgt. Peppers or Ziggy Stardust.
Where those seem to attempt unity
of theme either in lyrics (Stardust)
or music (Sgt. Pepper's), Sixpeike
None the Richer is a record that
unifies itself with recurring musical
themes, in a way similar to baroque
music or mid-century jazz, and the
overall lyrical theme of human
relationships in the midst of an
artist's dream making. Songs fade in
and out of one another, become one
another, and generally don't stay
inside the lines. Lyrics don't either.
Love songs flow in and out of
questions about integrity and
spirituality in art. Some, like "Sister
Mother combine the two themes.
Slocum is ambitious in his
compositions, mostly to his credit.
Crafty in his Edge-and-Corgan-
esque guitar work, he is a master of
string arrangements that could give
George Martin a run for his money.
There's a solid string quartet
backing the band on nearly every
song.
Not that Slocum is merely the
sum of his influences. While one
can see much U2, Beatles,
Smashing Pumpkins, Radiohead,
Zappa and Bach (that's J.S. Bach,
classical composer for you
Philistines out there) in his
compositions, the synthesis of all
these is obviously much more than
the sum of its pans. There are some
strange uses of jazz phrases, half-

With just two days left until the
-final game of the season, the
afeotball team is looking to end on a
winning note, but there is no doubt
will have to get past a tough
l.C. State team,
ate" Quarterback Dan Gonzalez feels
for the Pirates to be effective, they
will have to be able to run the ball
;?nd be well rounded overall in their
v&me plan.
r? "Wc need to be able to run the
?rbotbali and have a balanced attack
more than ever, so if we're going to

i'to be able to run the football as
i wel Gonzalez said.
no But that will be a difficult task,
since the Pirate running game has
only produced 681 yards, and hasn't
been as effective as once thought at
'the beginning of the season. The
'IiWolfpack have gained more than
fi double what ECU has on the
ground, with 1,743 yards.
,ov This game is important for the
lifans and the players in different
- ways. The players want to preserve
eir fourth straight winning season
'with this win, while the fans see the
owip as bragging rights. The series

These players aren't worried about the rivalry;
just notching the win.
"To us players that are here now, it's more of
a fan rivalry because we've
only played them one time
in the last 10 years (regular
season) Senior split end
Larry Shannon said. "
We're new to it. "We're just
looking at it as out last
game.
Shannon does admit, since
this is State, it gives them
a little motivation to try to
beat them.
"Against State it just adds
an extra incentive, a little
extra motivation
Shannon said.
Not looking ahead and just
concentrating on what

Head Coach Steve Logan's
purpose the entire season

thinking has worked, as
ECU has won their last
four games.

Q: When did you injure
your back?
4: I first starting feeling pain in
jny back at the end of my freshman
jtear.
i
Q: What exactly was the
nature of your injury?
A: I had a hernia ted disk, and I
kept getting treatment and going
flack to playing too soon,
jbventually one disk became two,
and that is when I had surgery.
Q: How did you gradually
work back into training?
A: started out witti a lot of half
court play and drifts, and stuff
like that.

'O: How did you keep
yourself positive and
motivated for a healthy

was tough to sit out, I knew that I
"would be back out there soon.
The Lady Pirates are
pumped up and ready to go
this season, hoping to pick
up where die team left off
in March of last year when
ECU advanced to the finals
of the conference
tournament. Senior forward
Shay Hayes is back on the
basketball court in uniform
this year after suffering a
back injury that qualified her for a medical red
shirt in 1996.
As one of only two team seniors, Hayes said
one of the most critical parts of the season is
now.
"Our biggest goal is to start the season off on
the right foot from the beginning Hayes said.
"We want fo get back to where we were at the
end of last season as far as they way we were
playing. Last year we waited until the end to
come together, and this time we want to have a
winning season
Perhaps one of the biggest challenges the
team faces is stepping up to replace last year's
leaders, including Tracey Kclley, Justine
Allpress and Laurie Ashenfclder.
"No one will be able to replace the seniors
from last year. It is going to take the whole team
coming together to replace the things they did
Hayes said.
Hayes said that one of the hardest things
about missing last year was the fact that she was
not able to end her college basketball career
with the teammates she came into the program
with.
"Knowing that I had another year to play
really helped me
out a lot and
kept me
motivated, but it
was really tough
to watch the
seniors finish
without me
Hayes said.
"We all
started playing
together and had
always planned
on ending
together, too
Hayes began
having back pain
due to a
hemiated disk at
the end of her
freshman year,
but continued
playing
"Q?r biggest goal is to
start the season off oh the
right foot from the
beginning. We want to get
back to where we were at
the end of last season as

playing. Last year we

basketball, not realizing the degree of her injury.
As time w-nt on, the pain continued to get
worse, as she injured another disk.
"The doctors told me that if I wanted to
keep playing basketball, I would have to have
surgery, and so I did Hayes said. "I started
practicing drills and half court stuff in January,
and by March, 1 was feeling good again
Hayes said a lot wili be expected of the
freshman players on the team.
"We don't really have a lot of returning
players, so the freshmen really can't be
freshmen Hayes said. "They are going to have
to step in and play more like upperclassmen. We
don't have time for them to go through a gradual
freshman process because we are going to need
them
Hayes said there have been good days and
bad days at practice so far.
"We are really starting to come together, and
that is what it is going to take Hayes said.

Minnesota Twins
proceed with sale talks
North Carolina
businessman hopes to
buy baseball team
PHOENIX (AP) ? The American
League today gave permission to
Minnesota Twins owner Carl Pohlad
to proceed with sale talks.
The Minnesota Legislature last
week defeated a proposal to finance a
new ballpark, and Pohlad has an
agreement with North Carolina
businessman Don
Beaver to negotiate a sale unless
stadium financing was approved by
Nov. 30. If he buys the Twins, Beaver
would want to move the team to
North Carolina following the 1998
season.
"The American League has no
choice but to direct the Twins to
move forward with the sale of the
club AL president Gene Budig said
todav.
The Twins' situation was
discussed Monday night by baseball's
ruling executive council, but no
action was taken. Under baseball's
regulations, the next step would be
for Pohlad and Beaver to reach a sale
agreement and submit it to the
sport's ownership committee.
Any sale must be approved by 11
of 14 AL owners and 12 of 16 NL
owners. In recent years owners have
taken six to 12 months to approve
sales.
"I believe the people of Minnesota
want the Twins Budig said, an
indication that additional
maneuvering may take place to keep
the team from moving. Without
question, they have proven their
commitment to major league baseball
over the years. 1 do not believe that
the Legislature is reflecting that view
of the fans
However, acting commissioner
Bud Selig and the council have made
clear they would favor a move if a new
stadium isn't built to replace the
Metrodome.
"Major league baseball continues
to believe that the Twins cannot
remain in Minnesota without a new
ballpark Budig said. "One can
cannot expect any owner of a major
league baseball franchise to lose
money indefinitely Pohlad, claiming
the Twins have lost millions, told the
(Minneapolis) Star Tribune he thinks
"it's highly unlikely" that other
owners would not approve the sale
and relocation.
He said he expects Beaver to
submit an application to buy the
team, saying it's "just a formality
now Tim Newman, a spokesman for
Beaver's organization, said today he
expects sale talks to move forward.
"We're going to talk to the Pohlads
this afternoon Newman said, "I
really wouldn't want to speculate on a
timetable, because it depends on
what they lay out to us
No baseball team has moved since
the second Washington Senators
became the Texas Rangers after the
1971 season. However, it's unclear if
North Carolina would finance a
stadium.
Voters in the area of Greensboro,
High Point and Winston-Salem will
decide May 5 whether to approve a 1-
cent restaurant tax to finance a $210
million stadium built. Minnesota's
House voted 84-47 last Thursday to
defeat stadium-financing legislation.
Pohlad offered to donate the Twins to
a charitable foundation if a new
stadium were constructed. The
foundation would sell the team in
several years and repay Pohlad's debt
on the team, estimated at $86
million. Pohlad would cover the losses
in the interim.

The Army Reserve Alternate
Training Program is a smart way to
pay for college.
First, if you qualify, the Mont-
gomery Gl Bill can provide you with
up to $7,124 for current college ex-
penses or approved votech training.
Second, if you have?or obtain?a
qualified student loan not in default,
you may get it paid off at the rate of
15 per year or $500, whichever is
greater, up to a maximum of $10,000.
Selected military skills can double that
maximum.
Third, you can earn part-time
money in college, and here's how it
works: One summer you take Basic
Training, and the next summer you
receive skill training at an Army
school. You'll earn over $1,500 for
Basic and even more for skill training.
Then you'll attend monthly meetings
at an Army Reserve unit near your
college, usually one weekend a month
plus two weeks a year. You'll be paid
over $107 a weekend to start. It's
worth thinking about. Give us a c?U:

He is the third inside player signed by the

(Utah) College and John Gillmore, a 6-7 forward from
Tyler (Texas) College. Jonzen plays for the club team
in Sallens in Sweden and attends high school in

GOODWELL, Okla. (AP)?A temporary restraining

Texas County District Judge George H. Leacn

Dei Greco trying to kick his way out of
slump
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) ? -Automatic" A! Del
Greco isn't so automatic this season.
The Tennessee Oilers' kicker has missed four of
his last seven field goal attempts after making 16 of
20 to start the year.
The 14-year veteran is having particular trouble
when asked to kick from 40 yards or more. He missed
a 41-yarder Sunday in the Oilers 17-9 loss to
Jacksonville. ,
"I can't control the yardage of the attempts 1 get
The only thing you can do is stay positive. I have an
the confidence in the world in me as I think
everybody in this locker room docs, and it 11 turn
around he said. . .
"If it was a matter of concentration or not being
confident or being afraid every time I went out there,
I'd be worried. But for whatever reason when 1 go out
there, I'm excited to have another chance
Coach Jeff Fisher said he will start worrying about
Del Greco when his kicker loses that confidence. He
pointed out that Del Greco has been perfect in
practice the past two weeks.
"He's got to find his way out of it, but he knows
the importance of making these kicks, especially this
part of the season Fisher said. "In games that are
close, we can't afford to miss any more of these.
Del Greco, who set a club record last year with lJl
points, has been kicking up to 20 extra balls a day in
practice. His biggest help may come from new goal
posts on the practice field. They are narrower than
regulation posts.
Mariners exhibition schedule begins

locker room down only 1-0
Wiberg said.
The Eagle offense notched two
quick scores only 15 minutes into
the second half to push the score
to 4-0, and put the game away for
American.
For the game, the Pirates were
held to only five shots on goal.
Leading the Pirate offense was
Wyatt Panos, a junior, who placed
two shots against a tough Eagle
defense. Jay Davis stayed in net
the full 90 minutes in his last
collegiate contest, piling up four
saves. Davis, from nearby Wilson,
N.C played 1635 minutes in goal
this season and finished with a 2.5
goals against average in his fifth
year of affiliation with the
program.
uDavis had a very solid
season. We will not only be losing
a good player, but a true veteran
with lots of game savvy Wiberg
said.
The Pirates were riding an
emotional high going into the
tournament. After the program's
first win ever against a ranted
opponent, a 2-1 shocker here in
Greenville against William and
Mary, the Pirates lost a
heartbreaker to 21 Virginia
Commonwealth after Wyatt
Panos' shot sailed wide in the final
minute.
"It was a great turnaround for
us. We went in (the CAA
Tournament) with nothing to lose.
We fought hard, but the better
team won Wiberg said.
Wiberg and his assistants will
turn their attention toward
recruiting. Davis will only be the
only lettcrman not returning to
next year's veteran squad.
"We (coaching staff) will be
visiting some tournaments in
Florida over Christmas and
another in Washington.D.C. Our
concentration will be centered
along the east coast with the main
focus in North Carolina Wiberg
said.

"It is exciting that ECU
may serve as a model for
other universities in
capitalizing on cost-effective
Internet and Intranet-based
educational information
technologies
Ernest Marshburn
associate director of Computing and
Information Systems
ECU is first in nation
to use system
Danielle Howell
FEATURE WRITKR
ECU is the first university in the nation
to receive a campus-wide Internet and
Intranet- based electronic
communication available to all faculty;
staff and students.
According to Ernest Marshburn,
associate director of Computing and
Information Systems, ECU was selected
because of a vision of moving up in the
world of electronic communication.
"ECU first began discussing its vision
with Microsoft more than a year ago
said Marshburn. "Now teamed with
Microsoft, ECU can provide a fully-
integrated environment
Microsoft Exchange was customized
for educational use and was developed
for people on the move. Marshburn
refers to them as "nomadic users users
such as students who move freely from
dorm room to home or for professors who
move from classroom to office. With
more than 20,000 student, faculty and
staff users, this exchange can be accessed
anvwhere with Internet access.
Microsoft Exchange can also be used
in the classroom. For example, students
can e-mail class assignments to
professors who can return papers with
corrections, all in a paperless
environment. ECU also uses the
Intranet system for course objectives and
studv guides.
Exchange has passed a level six CIA
security svstem which makes it almost
impossible for mail to be tracked or for
someone to hack into.
But such a program does not come
without restrictions. Faculty, staff and
students are given five megabytes of
space, which is only slightly more than a
million words.
"This should not cause any
immediate restrictions if people use it
responsibly by checking mail on a regular
basis said Marshburn. "Any mail that
needs to be saved can easily be moved to
a personal PC
"This system has been in place since
the beginning of this semester and 90-
plus percent of users have spoken highly
of it said Marshburn.
Although the system has received
rave reviews, Marshburn and his staff
have collected comments for users as to
how the system can be enhanced. These
comments were passed along to
Microsoft to be implemented in the next
version.
Financial support for the program
came from the state at a cost of $100,000
for students and $300,000 for the entire
system, according to Marshburn, who
takes great pride in helping ECU achieve
its vision.
"It is exciting that ECU may serve as
a model for other universities in
capitalizing on cost-effective Internet
and Intranet-based educational
information technologies said
Marshburn.

ECU student Elizabeth Hodgson takes a deep
breath and prepares herself for battle. For the third
time in an hour, she reboots her computer. Her
research paper has disappeared.
Hours of" tinkering with files and calling
software company helplines have not solved this
recurring problem. I lodgson's enemy is a computer
virus.
She is not alone. Students at ECU deal with
this nuisance on a daily basis. Chances are, any
campus computer lab user has at least heard horror
stories about computer viruses.
So what exactly are computer viruses and what
can be done about them?
"A computer virus is a set of instructions
designed to do malicious or annoying things to your
computer said Wynn Parkinson, a computer
technician at Computer Ceeks, a local software
and computer companv.
Computer Geeks manager Bill Doane has an
even simpler definition.
"It's a real nightmare said Doane.
To the average computer user, these viruses are
little more than minor annoyances. At their worst,
however, viruses destroy software and cause major
expenses in time and money.
One of the worst viruses, according to
Parkinson, is Stone Monkey form A, which makes
the computer lose its hard drive.
Mruses of this type are relatively rare. More
common are Word Macro viruses like Wazzu, which

spreads through readable files randomly replacing
text with the word "wazzu
A majority of viruses, Parkinson said, were not
made to cause major damage.
"Most viruses were probably designed as jokes
by people with too much time on their hands
Parkinson said.
Computer labs are a real problem area in the
spread of computer viruses.
"ECU students would be more prone to trouble
with computer viruses because labs have somany
different people using the equipment said
Parkinson.
Another growing problem with computer
viruses is the availability of virus building programs
on the Internet.
"The graphical interface on the Net makes it
easier for just anvone to have a virus made to
order said Richard Beck, a salesperson at
Computer Geeks.
The best way to protect disks and files trom
contamination is to invest in anti-virus software.
ECU computer labs have invested in software
which scans new disks for possible viruses and
repairs those files that are affected.

FEATt'RE WRITER
The World Wide Web offers a creative outlet for students
to express themselves artistically by designing their own
home pages. This art doesn't require a canvas and a paint
brush, but rather a computer, some creativity and a basic
knowledge of the language of the web.
Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML) and Java
Script arc the languages used in creating a web page. The
language consists of a series of codes that translate into
commands that are read by the server, which transmits
the message to the Web. Several classes teaching this
language and design are offered at ECU.
For those who are looking for the quick route to
learning HTML, the Austin computer lab provides books
explaining the process of using this program. With some
time and practice, the programs can be easily mastered.
Just ask senior Jenifer Banker, a communications major
who has her own web page.
"I mainly learned how to use it (HTML) through trial
and error Banker said.
A white kitten running across a jelly bean background
to the sound of "Under the Sea can be found at
Banker's site. She talks about her life at ECU and her
search for a job for after graduation. Pictures of herself
and her fiance make the site more personal.
Banker is not alone on the Web; 15 percent of ECU
students have also created their own pages, which can be
found at the ECU web site. These web pages can
contain just about anything from animation and games,
to clips from the creator's favorite movie. One common
method used to obtain the animation bits or graphics is
to download them from other sites on the web.
"The animated cat on my page was borrowed from
another site on the Web said Banker.
Many people offer things that can be used in creating
another page, but copyright laws still need to be followed
and attributions are usually necessary. ECU has a set of
guidelines that need to be followed while creating web
sites. These guidelines are posted on the ECU home
page.
Web pages are a way for people to communicate with
each other and express themselves. It is no longer just a
job for some, but a hobby for many.
"It's a creative outlet for me Banker said. "It's a way
to program with creativity

Students at ECU are having difficult experiences in the campus
computer labs.
Most of the complaints are centered around the computer lab
assistants.
Students claim they are receiving invalid information from assistants
about computer procedures. Others claim that the assistants cannot
answer their questions. The students say that the assistants are not
receiving enough training. Assistants at the computer labs disagree.
"No one person could possibly know everything there is to know
about all the software that we carry said Elizabeth Sawyer, a lab
assistant in the Austin computer lab. "Most people that do have
problems with the lab assistants are people that come in here and expect
us to do their work for them
To become a computer lab assistant in the dorms, students have to fill
out an application and, if hired, attend a one-day, eight-hour training
seminar. Lab assistants at the Austin computer lab have to watch video
Computer lab
assistants claim to
receive proper
training
tapes on the types of software, computers and printers available at the
lab. Some students claim that this is not adequate training.
"They should be given a lot more training than that; you can only
learn the basics in an eight-hour session said Melanie Sicard, a junior
majoring in communications.
Students are also experiencing other problems with the campus
computer labs. There have been problems with their hours of operation.
Students have complained about some computer labs closing too early or
not opening early enough. Also, there are problems with the number of
computers on campus. ?
"I have had to wait 30 minutes for a computer at the lab in the
downstairs of Umstead Hall said Jamie Stokes, a freshman majoring m
biology. . .
Some students are opposed to all the negativity toward the computer
labs and claim that they receive proper guidance. Also, they claim to have-
no problems with the hours of operation.
"I have never had a problem with the ECL computer labs. I he
assistants always help me if I need help, and I have no problem with
waiting a little bit for a computer. At least we have them. I don't know
what I would do if we didn't said Holly Jones, a junior majoring in dance
theater education.
