University employees march for justice
MLK Day starts
campaign for later
Jacqueline D. kfi.i.i m
isMM NEWS EDITOR
Some ECU employees and other
citizens of Greenville observed
Martin Luther King, Jrs birthday
with a march and a call for justice.
"We're marching for justice,
respect, a living wage, and no
privatizing and downsizing
Tempie Streeter said. "Because
we're overworked and harassed.
We're treated more like slaves than
anything else
Streeter is an ECU
housekeeper and a member of the
steering committee of I .1.
(United Electrical) local 150.
Streeter cited examples such as
housekeepers required to clean
the dorm bathrooms of the
opposite sex.
"Women are cleaning men's
bathrooms. Well, we can't blame
the students because they have to
go into the room. But there are
enough men to do the men's area.
enough women to do ? would you
like for your husband to be in there
cleaning the women's bathroom?"
Streeter said.
The group w comprised of
workers not only from ECU. but
also other organizations in
Greenville.
We're from) the town, the
churches, other workers from
different departments, all over
Greenville Streeter said.
()ne member of the march who
was not a member of the
housekeepers said he had many of
the same reasons for marching.
"As all state employees, we're
facing both downsizing, which is
cutting down on staff, and also
privatization Don Cavellini said.
Cavellini is a member of and
organizer for the N.C. Public
Service Worker's Union. I.E. local
ISO. ECU housekeepers are a part
of this organization because,
according to Cavellini, it is very
difficult to start a union in North
Carolina. I.E. provides the
support the ECU housekeepers
need.
While the marching group
paused in front of Jovner Library a
police car pulled up for a few
moments and spoke to a member
of the group.
According to Johnnie Umphlet.
ECU Police-
captain, the
police car was
there only to
inquire about
when the
group would
get back on
their
scheduled
parade route.
"Before you
can have a
parade or
march. you
have to get a
permit from
Greenville
Umphlet said.
Umphlet
said the
permit
application
p r o c e s s
requires
information
such as where
the march or
parade will be
traveling, so that
the police can have the manpower
on hand to direct traffic and see
that everyone is kept safe.
"They were supposed to march
across campus, and they deviated
from the parade route Umphlet
University employees
marched across campus expressing the discrimination they feel from the university
while the snow fell on Martin Luther King Day.

said.
The march on Martin Luther
King, Jrs birthday marks the start
of the Martin Luther King Support
for Labor Campaign, which will
come to a close on the anniversary
of King's death in April.
"Dr. King's legacy. his
unfinished business, was economic
justice ? not just civil rights. And
that is still unfinished now
Cavellini said.

Harvey family gives

Sarah Vali eri
? W RI T F. K
'Hie Harvey family, from Kinston, recently
created an endowment of 5500.DUO to
support research and teaching initiatives in
the School of Education.
"1 )ur family has been very concerned
about the lack of the variety of skills
necessarv among new teachers to teach basic
reading to all students Margaret Blount
Harvey, a family memher who is also a
member of the State l ; of Education
said. "East (arolina's School i if Edueati in has
been a national leader in reforming teacher
training, and we thought it was the right
place for our investment
"Reading is critical to success in che
educational process said Leigh Harvey
McNairy, a member of the Lenoitlounty
Board of Education. "Expanding the training
of teachers in this vital area is one of the most
important elements leading to successful
students and successful schools. Vfe have
been delighted by
to our concepts and look forward Co working
with them as this gift begins to make a real
impact on the teaching of reading
throughout our state and nation.
Chancellor Richard Eakin is very thankful
for the Harvey family and excited atiout
seeing the School of Education prosper
further.
"We are indebted to the I larvey family tor
their confidence and their generosity; said
Eakin. "TTiis gift will enable our award-
winning School
of Education to
continue its
initiatives to
better
understand the
dynamics of
reading and to
make sure-
teachers are
better prepared
to help every
child succeed as a competent reader
"Mrs. Harvey wants to sec an emphasis
on phonics as one resource said Emmet
Floyd, interim dean of the School of
Education and assi.stant to the chancellor tr
constituent relations.
Phonics is a teaching method that makes
students sound out words in order co read
them.
Floyd said a phonics teaching program has
been at Teacher's Mcmonal School in
Kinston. It impressed Mrs. Harvey and now
she w ants to expand the pn gram chn lughoui
the state. Floyd savs she recoj t tact
that current ceac hers canrH t be retaught, but
she wants future teachers .it K l to get
exposure to the program.
The goals for the phonics programs are
"to improve the way it is taught and get more
of it in the public schools Floyd said.
"We did not choose East i Carolina because
of its national reputation, although we value-
its prominence Mrs. Harvey said. "We
chose East Carolina because of its influence
throughout eastern North (larolina. It
touches the lives of our families and the
families of our friends. We atc ci mfideni
investment will be used bv the School ol
Education to improve che quality ?? life tor

Michael Crapnell and Matthew

Illinois State University in Normal.
The age of technology just got a
little more comfortable with the
opening of CyberZac's Cafe.
This new cafe offers several
pool rabies, computer games, and
an all-day sandwich menu.
CyberZac's also carries the perks
of a computerized office layout for
those who need access to
computer technology.
"I got the idea while surfing the
net said Dianne Barrow, owner of
CyberZac's Cafe. There are a lot
of cybercafes out west, especially
in California. Then I started
thinking that we needed one here
in Greenville
The "cyber" part of CyberZac's
Cafe includes a wide variety of
technological peripherals for
customers to use at an hourly rate
of $5. Each of the three computers
is enclosed in its own room, with
its own printer. In addition to
basic internet and computing
options, customers can use a
scanner, choose from 150
computer games and
?Thrustmaster a steering wheel
and gas pedal for driving games.
"Quake 2, Jedi Knight, and Red
Alert, arc some of our most
popular games Barrow said.
"People can download game
demos or do research in the
Library of Congress
Other office based
(options of CyberZac's
Ode include copying
(black and white and
JL laminating,
binding services and
I computer classes.
"We always have
someone here to help
customers with the
computers Barrow
Barrow is also the
instructor for the two computer
classes that the cafe offers.
The Basic class costs 35 and
meets for eight sessions. In this
class, students should learn how to
handle files, scan and
troubleshoot, by allowing the
student to get acquainted with
their computer through hands-on
experience and not through a
textbook. Barrow's second class is
designed to help people create
their own web page. This class
lasts for four meetings and is only
25.
On the "cafe" side of
CyberZac's, customers can sit
down at a table or the lunch
counter and order from a variety of
burgers, soups and cappuccinos.
All desserts and soups are
homemade and lemonade is
squeezed fresh for each glass
ordered.
"Our soups are our most
popular - menu
;item Barrow said.
'We made some
Cajun Bean soup
and it sold out in
no time
In addition to
their soups and
sandwiches, which
all fall under $5,
Cafe offers three
domestic beers on tap and a
selection of wine by the glass.
For those not ready to embrace
the technological age, CyberZac's
Cafe offers billiard tables, a
jukebox, and a snooker table.
Snooker is a game in the billiard
family, played on a larger table
with smaller balls. "The
game came from England and
used to be popular in Greenville a
few years ago Barrow said. "It
faded out but I wanted to bring it
back. The game brings a little
nostalgia
Barrow urges ECU students to
give the cafe a try. Any student
who enters CyberZac's and asks
for a discount card wiil receive one
that gives them &fb off of
computer time and food.
CyberZac's Cafe is open Monday-
Friday, from 8 a-m. until midnight,
and from 11 a.m. until midnight
on Saturday and Sunday.

CHARLES DERVARICS
COLLEGE PRESS
President Clinton this month
proposed an expansion of the
college work study program to
serve more students, although
advocates say the increase may
come at a steep price: offsetting
cuts in a federal ban program.
On Jan. 9, Clinton, outlined his
college work study proposal, which
would provide an extra $70
million, or total funding of $900
million in fiscal year 1999. If
approved by Congress, the plan
would increase the number of
work study positions to a record
HOME OF THE WORLDS LONGEST KEG PARTY
X&Ll FOR INFO: 1-800-874-8828
level of one million, the president
said.
The program currently serves
about 945,000 students, according
to congressional estimates.
The work study plan is "not
just about increasing financial
aid Clinton said. "It's about
increasing the circle of community
service and the winner's circle of
opportunity for the future
white House officials have
focused on the work study
program as a way to help meet
administration goals that all
children read by third grade.
Hundreds of colleges and
universities have signed up to
participate in this literacy effort,
"America Reads with help
provided chiefly by work study
students.
But enthusiasm for the work
study increase was tempered by
indications that the administration
will propose cuts in Perkins Loans,
the nation's oldest student loan
program.
Higher education leaders say
they fear the administration's 1999
budget will contain no new capital
contributions for Perkins, a
modestly funded program that
some colleges rely on to
supplement die larger student aid
programs such as Pell Grants and
Stafford Loans.
Perkins is one of the three
campus-based student aid
programs, along with college work
study and Supplemental
Educational Opportunity Grants.
Financial aid administrators use all
three to design flexible aid
packages that supplement the
larger programs, officials said.
"The campus-based programs
really work as a unit said
Jacqueline King, director of federal
policy analysis for the American
Council on Education. Since many
students already work to earn
money for college, work study
often is not a viable option, while
an extra loan through
Perkins may fill a need
"Work study doesn't help
students if they're already working
25 hours a week King said. With
more students working, "financial
aid administrators need flexibility
to provide additional work, grant
or loan assistance
This year, the federal
government provided $135 million
in new capital contributions for
the Perkins program. Perkins
operates as a revolving loan
program, which means financial
aid directors provide loans based
on this new capital as well as
repayments from past borrowers

Respect your elders? What about the elders respecting their students for a change of
pace?
While some members of ECU's faculty and staff demonstrate the utmost of courtesy and
would bend over backwards to help out a student, the majority seem to care more about why
they are here rather than why we are here.
For instance, a secretary operating a registration terminal on dropadd day slaps an "Out
to Lunch" sign on the door after you wait patiently for 40 minutes in line.You are told to
come back at 1:45, and it doesn't matter that you have to work for the rest of the afternoon.
And then there's the adviser you call twice a day for over a week who never returns your
calls. You stop in to sec when her office hours are and sure enough, there she is at her desk,
sipping her coffee and reading the latest issue of People magazine.
Then there's the teacher who refuses to hear your explanation for why you missed a math
quiz. Little did he know that you were in a car accident and had to be rushed to the hospital
for surgery. Now your A in the class has dropped to a B because of a situation you had
absolutely no control over.
We all realize that ECU staff members are very busy. But it is time for the staff to realize
that the students (in most cases) have just as many ? if not more ? things to do each day.
Most are trying to juggle the 24 hours that go by each day to fit in class, work, meetings and
studying.
The university faculty needs to realize that without students, there would be no East
Carolina University. It is understandable that it would be impossible to please each and
every person on campus, but asking for a little more respect is not asking too much.
Staff members need to listen to the students. Let students say what they need to say and
then decide if their explanation is valid. Whatever happened to the concept of a
compromise?
Students, in turn, need to be respectful to those to whom they are turning for help.
Overly demanding and impatient students will find themselves getting nowhere, but those
students who show respect should get some in return. s

Wolf issue has two strong sides
150 wohes will have
to fend for themselves,
which is not unusual for a
species who has been
struggling for hundreds of
years to survive in the wake
of mankind.
Recently when District Judge
William Downcs decided for
petitioners whose aim is to rid gray
wolf populations near Yellowstone
National Park, he incited a virtual
maelstrom of appeals and criticism
from the National Wildlife
Federation and animal rights
activists. However, either side of the
issue is questionable because both
have good cases.
Ranchers have livelihoods to
think about. And the Federation has
an endangered species to protect
(less than 150 gray wolves live in the
2.2 million acre national park).
Unfortunately, the law does not
favor the wolves whose
"experimental" status is more like
probation.
In Tone, Thomas France, senior
counsel of the NWF, said of Judge
Downes' verdict, "The decision
defies common sense. It was an
order to take ten steps backwards
And if followed through, the
decision can only be seen as a
reversal of what many consider one
of the most successful
rcintroductions ever of a near-
extinct species.
Gray wolves are not
unaccustomed to controversy. For
hundreds of years they have been
the object of mankind's fear and
hate. Hunted to near-extinction in
the United States, a plan was set
into morion in the carry 1970s to
reintroduce the gray wolf to
Yellowstone's wildlife population.
After 20 years of debate, 31 grey
wolves were transported from
northern Canada to the park.
Since then, the project has been
a total success. The park's flooded
population of moose, elk and coyote
(caused by the wolves' extinction)
was brought into balance. This
success trickled down to scavengers
like ravens, magpies and grizzly
bears, who feast on the wolves'
leftovers. It seemed everything was
returning to normal.
But wolves cannot be confined to
park boundaries. Occasionally, stray
wolves kill surrounding livestock
and pose threats to ranchers.
There's always the stress of not
knowing if wolves are in the area
said Vcrn Keller, a local rancher. "It
keeps us on the edge all the time
And here is where Judge Downes
passed his decision. He has ordered
their "removal" (i.e. given any gun
carrying fool the right to shoot the
animals on sight) and protected
them (i.e. gun carrying fools) from
the Endangered Species Act which
waffles on "experimental" near-
extinct animals. Because the wolves
arc a reintroduction they arc not
protected by law. It sounds
ludicrous, but this is what has
happened.
For the time, the NWF has
appealed the decision, but it will be
a while before any positive action
takes place. In the meantime, the
150 wolves will have to fend for
themselves, which is not unusual for
a species who has been struggling
for hundreds of years to survive in
the wake of mankind.

Humans need to love each other
John
DAVIS
Remember Dr. King's dream
Mil members of the human
race should love each other,
open up their hearts and
welcome diversity, and not
rest until they wipe away a
tear and simultaneously put a
smile of good cheer on
someone else's face this year.
During the Christmas season people
around the world "shop until they
drop They buy numerous gifts to
be placed under their evergreen tree
beautifully decorated with
ornaments, tinsels, and candy canes.
Yet, while many jump with joy, smile
with glee, and dance in merriment,
millions of Americans go to bed
hungry, feel depressed, experience
tribulations, and do not have
"visions of sugar plums dancing in
their heads However, many who
have visions of sugar plums get sour
grapes instead. All Americans
should unite and make this nation
and the wodd a brighter place for
our neighbors around the globe.
The items on my New Year's list arc
key to spreading joy and cheer and
putting smiles on faces throughout
the world.
My first request is for improved
race relations in America. America,
a house divided, can't endure too
much longer beyond the new
millennium unless she gets her
house in order. I agree with Dr.
Martin Luther King when he
elucidated that people should be
judged by the content of their
character rather than by the color of
their skin. When North Carolina,
for example, continues to re-elect a
narrow-minded person like Jesse
Helms, that doesn't bode well for
cither the South or the nation. In
any event, every predominantly
white university in this nation
should resolve, in 1998, to make a
course in race relations mandatory
for all students, and hence, a
prerequisite for graduation.
My second request is for world
peace. The United States
government must learn to negotiate
with countries regarded as terrorist
organizations for too long. I agree
with a famous quote made by the
honorable President John F.
Kennedy in 1961: "We should never
negotiate out of fear; but let us
never fear to negotiate If Ronald
Reagan had believed that, he
wouldn't have sent bombs into
Libya in 1986 to destroy the lives of
innocent people like Hana, the
adopted daughter of Libyan leader
Muammar Qadafi.
Iraq is another country believed
to harbor terrorists. The U. S.
government should work closely
with Saddam Hussein to ameliorate
relations between the two
countries. George Bush pushed
around the Iraqis during the Persian
Gulf War. Instead of becoming
aggressive or belligerent towards
countries with a military capability a
small fraction of ours, who should
advocate peace. President William
McKnley was right when he stated
the following: "Peace is more
preferable to war in any
contingency Additionally,
establishing close relations with
countries like Iraq is key to opening
new markets globally. Newmarkets
mean more jobs for America.
Cuba has been isolated bv the
West for too long. Stringent
sanctions against Cuba should be
removed. Such sanctions arc
devastating to the impoverished
citizens of the country. Harsh
economic reprisals hurt the hungry,
the elderly, and other disadvantaged
groups in Cuba. Since the Cuban
Missile Crisis of the Kennedy
Administration, Cuba has been
isolated from the West. I might add,
shortly before Kennedy was
assassinated, he had planned to re-
establish diplomatic relations with
Cuba. -
My third gift request is for food
to feed the millions of people who
go to bed hungry in America and die
of starvation internationally.
Countries abundant in natural
resources should share something
with emaciated human beings
hungry for the bread of life. After
all, we should lend a hand of
benevolence to those less fortunate
than we throughout the entire year.
The fourth request is for a cure
for cancer (i.c. breast, prostate) and
other diseases robbing precious lives
by the millions annually. If America
can put a man on the moon, then
finding a cure for deadly diseases is,
as President Kennedy predicted,
within her reach as well. Brilliant
minds from around America and the
world can come together and move
mountains of despair and welcome
an avalanche of hope. Indeed,
thanks to the sophistication and
quality of our technological
innovation, we, with God's help, can
conquer disease.
Lastly, my fifth request is for
more love for humanity. This love is
manifested when someone stops to
help a stranded motorist having car
problems along a lonesome highway.
Such love is woven into the fabric of
a government concerned about
advancing the social welfare of its
people. When people
unconditionally volunteer their time
to help someone in need or
consistently contribute to charitable
organizations, they show love.
In a nutshell, improving race
relations should be a top priority of a
country concerned about building a
brighter future for its family. White
supremacy must be killed and
buried. Promoting world peace and
helping the hungry help themselves
are a moral obligation of ours.
Additionally, working painstakingly
to find a cure for cancer is an
honorable pursuit. Finally, all
members of the human race should
love each other, open up their hearts
and welcome diversity, and not rest
until they wipe away a tear and
simultaneously put a smile of good
cheer on someone else's face this
Dr. Martin Luther King,
Jr. did what so few other
people dohe dared to take
Jesus Christ seriously; he
dared to take Thomas
Jefferson seriously; he dared
to dream.
Normally editorial columns arc
reserved for the cynical observations
and complaints of editorial writers.
With The East Carolinian
specifically, much room is given over
to complaints about campus events
and local politics which are, more
often than not, really not that
important in the grand scheme of
things. Even on a national scale, the
media tends to focus on tragedies,
political failings, wars, rumors of
wars and all those wonderful human
flaws which get ratings and sell
newspapers.
Admittedly, it's much harder to
write about more positive issues.
Complaining makes for easy writing.
(Even at this moment, yours truly is
complaining about complaining.)
America gets a lot of low blows
lately in this round robin of "what's
wrong with the world America was
colonized (bad word!) by Europeans
(bad word!) and that pretty much
gets our great nation off on the
wrong foot. The rest is downhill
form there: slavery, Manifest
Destiny, the nuclear bomb,
abortion, AIDS; our nation has
contributed greatly to the horrors of
world history.
I'm certainly not going to deny
our responsibility for the terrible
things we've done. But our nation
has produced quite a few damned
awe-inspiring things as well. This
week, wc celebrated one such
awesome instance: the life of Dr.
Martin Luther King Jr.
It may sound odd to include Dr.
King in America's contributions to
the world, since he was, after all,
fighting against 400 years of racism
that was instituted by Americans.
But think about it for a second. Dr.
King wasn't born in Africa. He
wasn't even involved in the "back to
Africa" movement, which was
prevalent in his time. Dr. King, an
ordained minister in a Protestant
church, educated in America, a
product of American culture and
history was a great man, perhaps (in
my opinion, greater than any other
man in American history) because
he actually paid attention to his
American history.
He remembered the words of the
God he worshipped: "Love jour
neighbor as you love yourself He
remembered the words of our own
Declaration of Independence: A1I
men are created equal He
remembered and took seriously
what so many of us forget and take
for granted: that this nation was
founded on the idea that people can
be trusted with freedom because
they can choose to love each other,
that the risk of a people misusing
that freedom is worth it if it means
that we have the chance to be fully
human.
Dr. King's dream was a grand
dream, one not just of political
equality or empowerment or
entitlement, but one of love, the
closing remarks of his famous "I
Have A Dream" speech reveals this.
He speaks of a place and time where
all men gather together, white and
black Protestant and Catholic, Jew
and Gentile, to sing together theold
spiritual hymn "Free at Last It
sounds improbable, but think about
it.
Dr. King was all too familiar with
America's shortcomings. He wasn't
in denial and he wasn't about to just
let things be. But he did what so few
other people do when they realize
that American isn't a Utopia and
never can be: he dared to take Jesus
Christ seriously, he dared to take
Thomas Jefferson seriously; he
dared to dream.

SENIOR WRITF.R
Playing music for a living is a
risky lifestyle. No matter how good
you may have it, things can turn
rotten overnight and leave you on a
street strumming your guitar for
change. This has been the story for
top artists like the New Kids and
will surety be the future for acts like
Hanson and the Spice Girls.
That's why it's so amazing
that in an industry where
quantity means more than
quality an artist like Steve
Earle has persevered.
Earle sent Nashville
reeling with his 1986 debut,
Guitar Town. In the years that
followed, his albums Exit 0,
Copperhead Road and the amazing
The Hard Way were all well-received
by critics, but his fan base stayed
small. Then Earlc's drug addictions
got the best of him. After not
showing up for a court date, Earle
was thrown in jail. It was there that
Earie decided to turn things around.
After his short jail stint, Earle
rereleased his Train A-Conmi and
released I Bel Alright on his new E-
Squared record label. Both were
hailed critically as they contained
some of Earle's best work. Perhaps
the most important aspect of fid
Alright was the openness of the
lyrics. In songs like "CCKMP'
?f
(Cocaine cannot kill my pain) Earle
painted a picture of how his life had
been and where it was now
headed.
After touring behind
AlrjgU, Earle went to work
doing behind the scenes
work with other E-
disappointment at the lack of songs
along the vein of
"Promise You
Anything" or
"More Than I
Can Do But a
closer listen
Squared
artists. This
included offering
giidance to the V-
oys, as well as
producing a record
for Raleigh's own
Six-String Drag.
Finally Earle headed
back into the studio
on the other end of the
microphone and came out with El
Corazon.
On Corazon, Earle wrote and sang
from the heart. The result is a
deeper record that takes some time
to digest. One fast listen brings
exposes the brilliance that is present
on El Corazon.
A look at the liner notes also
reveals the all-star cast of. musicians
who lent a hand to the songs. The
appearance of Emmylou Harris on
the album is no surprise, as she also
lend a hand on Train A-Comin She
has also paid tribute to Earle by
covering his song "Goodbye" on her
recent Wrecking Ball album.
However, the album also contains
guest spots by artists like The Del
McCoury Band, The Fairfield
Four, The
Supersuckers
and Earle's own
son. Such a
diverse pool of
talent yields
an album
that pulls
from every
musical genre.
For example, "Tancytown" (with
Harris singing back-up) provides a
dark story of times past. Telling the
storv of a mentally retarded black
man in a racist society, "Tancytown"
is an example of why Earle is hailed
as an excellent songwriter by his
peers.
This is in contrast to the
bluegrass stylings of "I Still Carry
You Around Backed by The Del
McCoury Band, Earie provides an
upbeat little ditty to lighten the
mood of the album.
The roots of El Corazon extend
deep into the essence of rock and
country. In fact one listen to "NYC"
will have you defending Earle has a
true alternative artist, while
"Christmas in Washington" allows
Earle to show his folkish balladeer
talents. "Washington" also falls in
with songs like "Billy Austin" and
"Devil's Right Hand" as a political
commentary.
EJ Corazon is one of those albums
that cannot be summed up in a few
words. The songs are raw with a
stripped-down sound that gets in
your face and makes you listen.
Despite being a more diverse
record than any of Earle's past
endeavors, it still flows and is
listenable from beginning to end.
Regardless ot whether it sells 10
copies or 10 million copies it will
forever be noted as one of his best
albums ever by those who give it a
listen.

Roll back to the days of roller skates
M ICI H SM II II
- I 1I I k V. I
This is the
column where
we focus on the
stuff we miss and
the stuff we missed. We
will examine the books,
albums and television
shows that we feel deserve
further exploration. The
stuff we dug back in the
day
It would appear that rollerblading as
sport, hobbv and obsession is the
new wave of the future. I refuse to
spend my time or money on it.
possibly because the skates uuuld
require me to lurch around
ungracefully like Frankenstein,
possibly because they cost too
darn much, what with kneepad
and all, or possibly because on
my undying love affair with roller
skating.
It has been said that the human
memory is best stimulated by a smell, a
wafting of a long-forgotten scent under the
nose that can transport a person years away in time and
miles away in space.
The smell in question? Dust, electricity, adrenaline, a
polished concrete floor, the scent of a room in which I spent
much of my prepubescent life: the skating rink.
It didn't matter to me which rink I was at, as long as I
could wear the pink lycra skate skirt my mom bought me at
a pro shop, tie up my skates and get out on the floor, baby.
I can't be the only one of my generation to remember
fondly the hypnotic swirl of a hundred bodies in one
direction to the synthetic beats of Cyndi Lauper. Sheena
Easton and Madonna, whose plastic voices urucd our tired
legs to go just one more lap, the little c-shaped reflections
of light from the disco-ball that soothed us, bathed us in
ultraviolet rays and liquefied our clumsy motions into
something graceful.
Sometimes I would scrape and grasp the tall carpeted
sides of the DJ's booth like a drowning man. heave myself
from the mass of slowly circling bodies, all of whom were
better skaters than 1, and make a request, usually for
"Freakazoid
I'd try to keep my balance in line at the concessions
stand, where I would go for a Coke, always in a small paper
cup with a wax coating.
Those were the days, if you can remember, when
carbonation was sweet and new and half-forbidden to our
virgin mouths.
For ten minutes I'd do nothing but sit
and let the sweat on my hair
cool, rubbing my wheels on
carpeted
floor above the
rink and feeling
the muscles in my
legs move.
I spoke to no one. I
rarely had friends accompany me but I never missed the
humanity, preferring to be absorbed into the collective,
pursuing the furtive goal of elation through rhythm,
through pulse, through exhaustion.
Who remembers doing the Hokey-Fbkey? And so at
about closing time it was on with the house lights, off with
the sweet seductive melodic penetration, out with the
children, all of whom stood in a self-conscious circle, their
Icl;s protruding at various angles of balance and imbalance.
The silly music would begin, all of us throwing our
skinnv limbs about with as much gusto as tired children
could, doing the Hokey-Pbkey and turning ourselves
around, because that's what it's all about.
I remember winning once and receiving, as a prize,
another Coke.
Who else, besides me, remembers crawling into the
backseat of the car. curling their legs up with their feet
against the door, wearing ordinary shoes and feeling the
funny ache of skatelessness before drifting off to sleep?

Pirates post two strong wins
Men's basketball
defeats Liberty,
Richmond
TRACY M. LAUBACH
SPORTS EDITOR
The ECU men's basketball team
; has been on a home stretch for
their past three games, two of
which were Pirate wins. The last
away game was played against
CAA opponent James Madison
?$? University on Jan. 7 and sent the
! i team home with a 90-60 victory as
? tithe Pirates shot 63 percent.
;j The first of the home games
'was against the Tribe of William
and Mary on Jan 10. Led by senior
forward Raphael Edwards with 20
points and senior guard Tony
; Parham with 16, the Pirates put 63
points on the board while the
Tribe posted 72 points to pick up
their third conference win.
According to William and
Mary's Head Coach Charlie
Woolum, the Pirates arc one of the
strongest teams in the CAA.
"Don't get down on ECU
because, believe me, they arc
going to be right in the thick of
the race Vbolum said. "That is
why I am so pleased with this
victory I think we beat one of
the best teams in the league
The Tribe ranks number one in
conference standings and are
undefeated at this point.
ECU Head Coach Joe Dooley
said the team expected the game
to be a tough one.
"We knew going in that there is
a reason why William and Mary is
the number one team Dooley
said. "We knew they were good
and they played up to as good as
we thought they would
ECU was at a disadvantage,
with several key players on the
bench with injuries. Alphons van
Icrland broke his left hand at
practice on Dec. 11, while Neil
Punt broke his right foot during
the Dec. 20 UNC Asheville game.
According to Dooley, having
men on the bench is no excuse for
the loss.
"We have played about five
games without a full team, and we
are not going to get them back for
a while, so we may as well get used
to it Dooley said.
Senior center Dink Peters, who
?ut 14 points on the board for the
irates said that the high points of
the game came in spurts, claiming
that the game was a "war on the
board
'We can't hold our heads down.
Every practice we are going to get
better and keep giving it our all
Peters said. "As a team and a unit,
we can't get frustrated and think
that the season is over because'
there are a lot of games left to be
played
The Pirates took a break from
conference play on Jan. 14 to meet
Liberty University for the fourth
time in the scries history.
ECU controlled the game for
half of the first period. At the 6:05
mark, Larry Jackson from Liberty
went to the foul line for two good
shots to give his team a lead that
held through the half. ECU
headed to the locker room at
halftime down by five points, 31-
36.
"It seemed like in the first half,
no matter what we did, they
outmatched us with answering
shots Dooley said.
The second half was like a new
ball game for the Pirates. Parham,
who had been sitting the game out
with an injured shoulder, stepped
in to nail four three-pointers, the
first coming with 15:46 on the
clock. At the 12:27 mark, he sent
another one, immediately
don't have a lot of healthy people Peters stayed on the bench, but
in
followed by a three-pointer by
Garrctt Blackwelder.
Blackweldcr's shot gave the
Pirates a one point lead to be held
for the duration of the game. ?
Halfway through the second
half, Peters went down with a
strained calf muscle, thus adding
another name to the roster of
those injured on the team.
Even with Peters out, ECU
won the game 74-63, shooting 49
percent from the floor and 60
percent from the line.
"I am very proud of the kids
Dooley said. "The effort has been
good in practice so we have been
trying to build on that. We have
cut back on practices because we

Track teams shine at Chapel Hill meet
Schedule kicks off
for Pirates
STEPHEN SCHRAMM
SENIOR WRITER
For ECU's men's and women's
track teams, the indoor meets that
make up the beginning of their
schedule offer a chance to gain
experience and see how far they
have to go to reach their ultimate
goal. The earliest of these, The Joe
Hilton UNC Invitational, was held
last weekend in Chapel Hill.
The women's team came to
Chapel Hill for their second meet
of the season, but their first since
returning from winter break.
"I didn't expect a lot in our first
meet back from the holidays, but
we practiced hard for three or four
days before the meet said
women's Head Coach Charles
"Choo" Justice.
The Pirates, rust and all, still
managed some sparkling individual
performances. Freshman Marshari
Williams posted a time of 9.29
seconds in the 60 meter high
hurdles and wound up sixth.
Meanwhile, Missy Johnson soared
to ninth in the triple jump and
eighth in the long jump. She was
bested in the latter by teammate
Leana Anding, who finished sixth
with a jump of 17 feet 7 inches.
However one of the most
dramatic events of the day featured
two Pirates in the shot put.
Freshman Michelle Clayton
finished fifth edging out the sixth
place Crystal Frye by one
centimeter.
"It was great. Michelle would
throw and Crystal would match.
Crystal would throw and Michelle
would match. It was good-natured
friendly competition Justice said.
Last weekend's meet was the
first meet this year for ECU's
men's track team. If they were also

behind, kept up with the
Lady Rams throughout the
entire game to come up just
three points short in the end.
Beth Jaynes was the leader this
time, putting- IA points on the
board for ECU, while Danielle
Melvin and Jen Cox also posted
double digits, with 12 and 11
respectively.
What hurt the Lady Pirates the
most were the shots missed from
the foul line, as they shot only 4-8
in the first half and 4-9 in the
second.
"There is no excuse to miss
free throws Donovan said. "We
lack confidence when it comes to
game time lights are on, people
are there; it's a different focus, and
it shouldn't be. It's the same
routine they do in practice
Melvin said missed shots are
from a lack of focus.
"We are all good free throw
shooters Melvin said. "Moving
on after missing a shot is part of
the game. You can't think about
what you have missed because
you've got to get it back and play
defense
Donovan was extremely
pleased with the effort put in by
the team, especially Jaynes and
Melvin.
"Rebounding was outstanding
and was led by Beth and Danielle
Donovan said. "They both did an
outstanding job on the board on
both ends of the floor. We have
tried a number of techniques to
build up confidence, but have
seen no results yet

rusty from the break, it didn't
show. The Pirates blew into
Chapel Hill refusing to be
intimidated, not even by Olympi
Gold. Rashawn Deans placed
seventh in the 60 meter high
hurdles with a time of 8.58.
Behind Deans fellow Pirate
Tremayne Nunley managed an
eighth place finish. ECU's Vaughn
Monroe had a personal best time
of 6.74 seconds in the 60 meter
dash. In addition to earning
second place, Monroe also beat
Olympic gold medal winning
hurdler and Tarheel legend Allen
Johnson. Fellow Pirates Titus
Haygood and Chris Justice
finished only .2 seconds behind
Monroe and placed seventh and
eighth respectively.
The Pirates did not escape
Chapel Hill unscathed. Ail-
American sprinter James
Alexander injured his leg and may
miss up to four weeks.

The mens basketball team has experience on its side with four
senior starters. Othello Meadows, an Omaha, Neb. native, and
Tony Parham. from Washington, D. C, lead the way as the most
experienced backcourt in the CM. Parham has started in every
game but one in his first three years at ECU. Meadows and
Farham have combined to start a total of 138 games for the
Pirates. Meadows is also one of the most accurate three-point
shooters in the conference. He has ranked either first ?r second
from behind the arch for the past two seasons. Raphael Edwards
and Dink Peters provide senior leadership in the front court.
Peters, also from Washington, D. C, averaged 8.7 pointe a game
last year mostly form the bench. Edwards, hailing from Brooklyn,
N I was named second team all conference last year, ? a year
in which he lead the Prates with 13.2 points and 6.6 rebounds
Kr game. The final starter is a local from Ayden, Alico Dunk.
mM junior, dished out 56 assists as a sophomore who ranked
second on the team. In addition to the starters, Steven Branch, a
freshman from Newark, N. J has some playing time this jrear. 1
am excited about the contributions he (Branch) has made, Loach
Joe Dooley said. Dooley is also looking forward to getting fresh-

The wait is almost overt
Stadium

S c o i t Rose
STAFF WRITES
Tlie long wait is almost over for Pirates fans as the
expansion of Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium nears comple-
tion.
The expansion will hold an additional 8,000
fans. The actual seats that will hold the fans have to
be put in and that should take about two weeks,
according to Henry Van Sant, assistant athletic
director. The concourse is near completion, with
final touches being put on the concession stands,
souvenir shops, and the restrooms.
There is still caulking to be done to the stadium.
Kight now the construction crew are in the remedial
and cosmetic stage, putting the finishing touches on.
Construction on the stadium should be complet-
ed by early spring ?just in time for the spring
pig-out. There's nothing like breaking in the
new stadium with a big party and a little pig.
"The main problem with' the delay is basi-
cally too much work loo little timesaid Van
Sant.
Some of the problems with construction have
a lot to do with the timing of different things,
like materials arriving late, which therefore
pushes back the starting time of the phase in
which the materials were needed.
'This is not unusual in construction of this
size Van Sant said. UA lot of problems come
from the subcontracting, materials being late
and phases not being finished on time
As every student here at ECU knows, con-
Fans will finally be able to pack of the stands in the fall as the football team will play for 8.000 more with the completion of the addition to the

stadium.
struct ion can be a bothersome and,
at limes, an inconvenience.
The stadium will be absolutely
fabulous: eople will be astounded
and will enjoy it very much" said Van
Sant.
So, Pirate fans, be assured that
the stadium will be finished bv the
upcoming football season. This sta-
dium will definitely bring our uni-
versity up into the ranks of the top
schools in the countrv. and we all
know that we have the fans to keep
us there, where we belong.

Swimmer shares thoughts with TEC
(Editor's note: Each ytar,
the ECU mens and womens
swimming teams spend their
Christmas break in sunny West
Palm Beach, Florida for an
intense week of training and
bonding. As a freshman,
Tracer Ormand went on the
trip for the first time and as a
guest writer, has shared her
diary of the week with TEC.)
December 30,1991
We met behind Scott Hall at
7 ajn. ITie trip to West ralm
Beach was a rang one, so we
played card games. It took
about 12 hours to get there
and we went to eat once we
arrived.
December 31,1997
The first practice was at 9
ajn. We woke up around 8:15
and ate breakfast. First we did
dry land workouts and then
swam for about two hours.
After lunch, we headed to the
beach. It was pretty cold, but it
was nice. We had an afternoon
practice that was very hard.
They had oranges waiting for
us! We ate dinner and then
hung out at the beach for the
big New Year's countdown.
an extremely cold ajn. prac-
tice that was a lot like the one
yesterday. It was cold and
cloudy, so most of us slept all
day until evening workout,
which was also very cold.
Luckily, we finished early.

We started the day out with
January 2,1998
It was much nicer this
morning, but stilt a little
windy. Practice was canceled
in the evening. We balanced
six kickboards on a girl's head
for ten seconds. In the after-
noon, we spent some time at
the beach, watching the guys
play football and then we went
to the mall.
January 3,1998
Practice was pretty hard,
but I felt pretty good today. It
was much warmer. After room-
ing workout, we went to the
beach for the day. After a hard
evening practice, we had a
Chinese dinner that was very
good.
girls' team practiced an hour
earlier because we went to an
Italian restaurant.

Today was the best day yet.
After practice, we left West
Palm Beach and moved to
Singer Island and a much
nicer hotel It was extremely
warm and sunny ail day. The
January 5,1998
Today we took pictures after
morning practice and then we
went to the beach, even though
it ? was cloudy.
January 6,1998
It was a pretty routine day.
Morning workout was really
hard and then we took team
pictures. It was cloudy again
so we all caught up on sleep.
January 7,1998
We swam together today
and had relays in the baby
pool. It was a rat of fun. We
had a team dinner at Chili's
tonight.
January 8,1998
Finally a day off! We didn't
practice today, so we had a
good time on the beach all day.
January 9,1998
We left Florida and began
our long trip back to
Greenville at about 6 a.m. It
was a very long ride home.
Overall, the trip was a very fun
and exciting experience.

Not only do they have practices three days a
week comprised ot running, practicing routines
and a strenuous weight work out, tLU
Cheerleaders also take part in a number of
ECU public relations activities and volunteer
work. The Cheerleaders can be found before
moat borne games around campus l??ndiiig,out
flyers promoting that evenings basketball
game. They help out around the community
volunteering at things like the recent
Christmas parade, many Pirate Club activities,
and last semester they were volunteering at St.
Peters Church cm Halloween.
?Ju?t last month we were at Ayden
Elementary School talking!? thei kids about the
importance of staying in school Cheerieading
Captain Tasha Smith said.
Along with cheering the games, working out
and all of the other volunteering time, 16 of the
30 cheerleaders are wing, to participate this

"We're gearing up for the National

need to stay focused?' Smith said.
Along with Captains Tasha Smith and
Jonathan Crim, the Pirate cheering squad is
also comprised of three All-Americans, Will

Pep Band takes pride in helping teams to victory
Band to be named
"The Sixth Man"
Travis Baskle
sports writer
If you're ever been to an KCL home basketball
game, vou have probably seen the ECU Pep Band
in action? ihev're the ones in the purple and
white-striped sh'irts, keeping the crowd pumped
up during timeouts. But few people realize the
hard work and dedication that it takes to be in the
band.
The band plays before the game, as well as
during halftime and timeouts. The band also has
to split time with the cheerleaders and dance
team. There is also a director inside Minges
Coliseum who lets them know when a special
evenl or contest is going on.
According to band member Carmen Stauffer,
the band's main duty is. 'lo keep the fans excit-
ed as well as lo keep up the spirits of the play-
ers on the court.
The band is directed bv graduate student Tim
Odom. "(Being in the pep "band) really takes a lot
of dedication and a lot of time
Odom said the band is totally self-sufficient,
and they practice whenever they can. Finding the
time to practice can sometimes be difficult, con-
sidering the busy schedules of most of the stu-
dents.
We enjoy this and have a lot of fun, Stauffer
added.
Many of the 41 band members are also in the
ECU marching band, although it is not a require-
ment.
Odom said the band lakes a lot of pride in the
job they do. In the near future, the band willjtt
announced inside Minges as. "The Sixth Man
Odom added thai the band came up wilh the
name themselves, to show the pride they have in
helping ECU lo victorv.
While the band plavs at both the men and
women's home games, they do not travel with the
team. However, they will be going to the CAA
Tournament at the end of the year and to the
NCAA Tournament if either team advances that
far.
Despite all of the lime and effort that the band
members put forth, they insist that they have fun
Brad Brady said everyone "likes getting to play
and getting to see all of the games.
Many of the 41
band members are
also in the ECU
marching band,
although it is not
a requirement.
Come out and support the Pirates!
