University Printing & Graphics gets new home
? : i-
New facility allows for
installation of new
higji-tech equipment
HOLLY HARRIS .
SEHIOK WRITER
University Printing and Graphics has a new home. The
main campus branch of the publications department has
moved from its former location in the student publications
building to a new facility on Tenth Street. The new
building is not only more spacious, but allows room for a
variety of newer and more technologically impressive
machines.
"Basically what the status was at the old facility was that
we were inundated with work we didn't have the space to
process; we couldn't install additional equipment because
of the space confines said Robert F. Hariow, director of

University Printing and Graphics.
Despite the fact that the location of the
Printing and Graphics building was convenient
at its mid-campus spot, there were only 9000
square feet to accommodate the staff, machines ?
andpaper supplies.
The new building, which opened to the
public on Jan. 5, has around 20,000 square feet
with space for copy machines, printing faculties,
offices, design areas, a dark room and an array of
other specialized equipment.
Though walk-up service is no longer readily
available from the main location, the
department has compensated for the move by
setting up an office on the second floor of Joyner
Library that
can perform

well as binding
and faxing.

Holiday crime increases:
An increase in crime over the
holidays creates a need for
awareness in students who left
Greenville during Christmas break.
"Crime increased all over
Greenville said Cheryl Tafoya, crime
analyst with the Greenville Police
Department. "M: did notice a slight
increase in the Tar River area. We think
this slight increase is due to the fact
that a lot of students leave their homes
for two weeks or more without taking
proper precautions
Officials say more crime occurred
during the Christmas break rather thsu
Thanksgiving break because of the difference in time off
from school.
"Get your neighbors to look out for you said Melissa
Bartlett of Greenville PD's public affairs. "Get them to
pick up your newspapers and mail. Make sure they know
what cars should be in the driveway and what cars
shouldn't
The Greenville PD also offers a "Vacation House
Check" program. This consists of a routine patrol by
officers in the traveler's neighborhood. Each patrolling
officer is aware of lights that are supposed to be on and
cars that should be in the driveway. Officers will also
check all of the locks and doors to ensure that nothing
has been tampered with. To take advantage of this
program, people should contact Cpl. William Harris at
830-4366 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. or the Greenville
PD's 24-hour dispatcher at 830-4316.
The Greenville PD stresses preparation for anyone
who plans to leave town for an extended period of time,

"We increase our amount of patrols during
Christmas Bartlett said. "We assign units to specific
neighborhoods as well as other high crime areas related

Officers are on constant patrol of mall parking lots in
both patrol cars and as undercover shoppers. Traffic
patrol is also increased to compensate for the large
amount of commuters from surrounding cities who drive
to Greenville to shop.
"Shopping mall parking lots are the center for a lot of
holiday crime Tafoya said. "People leave shopping bags
in their back scats. They carry large amounts of cash
"Criminals look for the least amount of resistance
Bartlett said. "You just need to be aware of the people
around you. Be smart
Officials also suggest the following precautions: keep
purses secure (under a coat), travel in groups, park in
well-lit areas, notify neighbors, keep keys in hand and
lock everything.
Nearly half of the Christmas holiday crimes are still
unsolved.

ambitious wish
JACKSON, Miss. (AP) ?
Lawmakers are not making any
promises on state universities'
annual wish list of construction
projects.
The state College Board last
week endorsed a $76.7 million
building plan for the Legislature
to consider.
We've done so much for the
universities over the last five or six
years that (state building officials)
have really not been able to keep
up with it. We've just snowed
them under said House Ways
and Means chairman Charlie
Williams, R-Senatobia.
Senate Finance Committee
chairman Hob Bryan, D-Amory,
said any proposal will include "a
rational amount, but not that
much
The Legislature in the past 10
years has provided more than $1.2
billion for new construction and
renovation projects throughout
state government, according to
the state Bureau of Building,
Grounds and Real Property
Management.
More than half of that ? $665
million ? has gone to the eight
state universities and 15
community colleges.
The Legislature last year
allocated $87 million for
universities and $25 million for
community colleges.
Williams and Bryan said they
envision a total of about $50
million being allocated this year
for universities and colleges.
While colleges have been
enjoying a building boom in recent
years with more money from the
Legislature, their construction
needs continue to outstrip
available funds, said Mississippi
State University President Mack
Portcra.

Stocks was most recently working
as a chief financial officer for the
L.L. Murphrey Co. hog farming

his line of business because he
really likes working with the
people around Greenville.
The PIP Printing Center has

Stocks has now begun adding
high-tech features such as the
high-tech digital color printing
system, one of the first in the
Greenville area. This system will
allow the Center to produce full
color digital prints using a UFO
color Flare Raster Image Processor
and a digital printer. "What this
means for our customers is that
each color document we produce
is an original, far superior to what a
color copier can produce said
Stocks.
"This equipment is probably
the most exciting technological
breakthrough to impact our
industry recently and allows our
customers to print on demand

Presently, this project still

thanks from the ECU police
department go to Scott Forbes for
his input in making ECU campus
a safer place.
"The police department
appreciates Scott Forbes' effort
and the bikes that were donated
as they make it possible for more
officers to patrol campus said
Captain Johnnie Umphlet of the
ECU police.
Patrol bicycles have made
things easier for the police as they
may sometimes aid an officer in
getting to a call faster or enable a
student to stop them to make a
quick inquiry. It is obviously more
difficult to stop an officer who is
riding down the road in his patrol
car with all the windows rolled up.
"The bike patrol (officers) can
get between buildings to better
ensure safety of students
Umphlet said. "It's a better tool to
get to a smaller area. There are
about 38 officers that are designed
to patrol campus daily. They are
divided into five squads. One
squad is stationed at the School of
Medicine and four cover campus.
Two officers per squad are on
bikes

As best as Boulder police can tell
so far, the last time anyone saw
23-year-old Susannah Chase alive
and well, she was walking home
by herself around 1:30 a.m. on
Dec. 21.
Police say the junior American
studies major at the University of
Colorado had had a couple of
beers, gotten into an argument
with her boyfriend and decided
to leave him and another man
sitting in a pizza parlor not far
away from her off-campus
apartment.
By the time they found her
two hours later, police said Chase
had been beaten so badly they
couldn't tell if she was a man or a
woman. She died two days later.
No arrests have been made.
The circumstances leading up
to Chase's murder sound familiar
to many campus police officers
around the country. They're
careful not to blame the
victims? "No one has the right
to harm someone else said
Brett Brough, an officer at the
University of Colorado ? but
they quickly add that many
students fail to protect
themselves as well as they could
or should.
Too often, students are easy
targets for assault and robbery,
police say. They fail to pay
attention to their surroundings,
walk alone at night and drink
more than they should with no
trusted friends around to help
should they encounter trouble.
Though she wasn't legally
impaired, Chase's blood alcohol
content was .037.
"That's not much, but I'm
sure it had some effect on her
said Jennifer Bray, a
spokeswoman for the city of
Boulder. "She was a small girl
The key to self-protection is
self-awareness, experts, say.
"You can't let your defenses
down said Sgt. Chris Keary, an
officer on the University of
Kansas' campus.
"We tell people all the time to
find a designated walker or
driver. A lot of times, there are
people who don't like to drink
but who do like to go out. Ask
them to pay attention to
surroundings for you
Campus police have
developed lists of safety tips they
,dole out every year during
freshman orientation.Usually
topping them are "Never walk at
night alone and "Stick, to well-
lit and well-traveled pathways
Many attacks could have been
avoided if students hadn't been
walking by themselves, police
say.
"We say it all the time, but
people still don't pay attention
said Sgt. Gilbert Bussey, an
officer at Georgetown University.
"And then when something does,
happen, we hear the same thing
all the time: 'I never thought it

Albright alleges Iraqis
using biological, chemical
weapon on prisoners
BARRf SCHWE1D
DIPLOMATIC WRITER
WASHINGTON (AP) ? It
is near the end of a "zoocy
day" for Secretary of State
Madeleine Albright, and a
team of Middle East experts
is waiting outside her office.
Ahead is a period of both
crisis and opportunity, and
for the moment Albright's
attention is fixed on the
dangerous stalemate between
Iraq and U.N. weapons
inspectors.
s"They must have been
close to something on
whether biological or

At ease in het outer office,

halt sales to Iran of Russian
technology before Iran could

missiles.
She seemed dubious that a

Palestinian negotiations
would be overcome by
President Bill Clinton's
separate meetings this week
with Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu and
Palestinian leader Yasser
Arafat.
"Iaman eternal optimist,
and I will continue to be
one she said. But getting
Israel to pull back more on
the West Bank and the
Palestinians to rout terrorists
are very serious issues to
their leaders
Albright fretted that
everything in the Middle
East gets tangled, "cvcn
things that seem simple"
such as setting up a
Palestinian airport or an
industrial zone.
Sighing at the end of what
she called "a zooey day
Albright said she does not
expect Netanyahu and Arafat
to reach agreement while
they're in Washington. But,
she said, "It will be useful
for them to hear the
President's words" and take
them home.
Albright considers 1997 to
have been a poor year for
Mideast peacemaking and did
not predict 1998 would be
better. But in the interview,
her thoughts on the Arab-
Israeli conflict, Iran's race to
develop awesome weapons
and the weary struggle with
Iraq reflected the resolve and
directness that marked her
first year as secretary of
state.
With Netanyahu due to
arrive on Monday, and no
easing of the inspection crisis
with Iraq, the weekend was
unlikely to be serene cither.
But Albright found cause
for cheer.
Saddam, she said, "is
tightening the noose around
himself" by continuing
U.N. weapons

to defy
inspectors
cars of
system
The inspection regime is
not foolproof, she said. But it
has uncovered more illegal
weapons than were destroyed
in the 1991 Gulf war.
By defying the U.N.
Security Council, Saddam is
causing Russia and other
nations to be "fed up with
his demands she said.
In a speech Saturday
marking the seventh
anniversary of the war,
Saddam threatened to
suspend cooperation with
U.N. weapons inspectors
unless U.N. economic
sanctions against Iraq are
lifted.
Albright has taken the heat
in some of Washington's
foreign policy think tanks for
working in tandem with
Russian Foreign Minister
Yevgeny Primakov.
Ariel Cohen, a Russia
expert at the Heritage
Foundation, says the foreign
minister is pursuing an anti-
American agenda, trying to
line up Iraq, Iran and Libya
in coalition with Russia.
Albright said while
Primakov looks out for
Russia's interests, he has
never tried to undercut the
U.N. inspection operation
and has been "quite useful"
in helping the United States
maintain a tough diplomatic
stand in the Security
Council.
"You work with a number
of countries to achieve a goal,
which means that everybody
gives some Albright said.
There clearly is give-and-
take in the way she runs U.S.
foreign policy.

Yada yada yada. After this season's finale, the popular phrase will be a faint cry in the wind
heard only by Seinfeld devotees.
After a relatively long run, Sdnfeuis tuning off; not because the show has reached the
point of contrived plots and lame characters, rather because it is king of sitcom comedies and
wants to remain that way. Jerry Seinfeld told Tme magazine he intended to quit while ahead and
would not sign a contract for another season.
In the realm of network TX Seinfeld's move is noble a least, and perhaps even
revolutionary Yet, to call Seinfeld's move revolutionary would imply that otters intended to follow

Thinkifoa.As the lives ota
to the hilt and, after sucking every creative juice out of its writers, continued to run the show to
death.
Most shows sacrifice quality for big bucks and royalty checks after creative inspiration runs
dry Not Seinfeld. An offer by network execs reported at $5 million an episode could not convince
Seinfeld to stick it out, nor could the disappointed faces of his costars. Recently given a raise, it's
a safe assumption that they would prefer to hang around another season. Seinfeld has said that he
felt it was becoming increasingly difficult to turn out funny material and he didn't want the quality
to decrease.
Time reported that the show brought NBC approximately $200 million and that execs were
prepared to offer Seinfeld even more money to stay
Seinfeld has made a sacrifice more often associated with real artists than with prime rime
media stars. Still, many people have pointed out it was easier for an already wealthy man, with
more than 60 automobiles, many of which are rbrsches, to turn down the $5 million per episode
offer. This may be true but TECbas a feeling that millionaires are people just like us, who, given
a penny want a dollar, which is why Seinfeld's move is rare.
A comedian wanting to end a show in a roar of laughter shouldn't be such a rare occurrence.

Cloning happens; don't outlaw it
We must face forts; nothing
we can do as a country,
organization or person can
stop cloning from happening.
Eventually somebody will
clone a human. All the
regulations, sanctions and
laws will not stop cloning.
Ban it; stop it; make it illegal.
Cloning is bad, horribly bad.
Cloning goes against God. We must
do our best to ensure this process
never happens.
I heard it; you have probably
heard it. Politicians, religious
leaders, friends and anybody with an
opinion have basically agreed
cloning is a science that should not
be touched.
Before we ban this process
altogether, we must think. Think
about a cost-benefit analysis of
cloning. When looking at the pros
and cons of a situation, I like to look
at the worst case scenario fust.
I will include one ground rule in
this article: no God. Since I do not
want to get into an argument about
the existence of any higher power,
the supernatural possibilities, ix.
end of the world, Armageddon, etc
will be excluded.
One of the worst case scenarios is
that we become a society that tries
to clone the perfect human.
Something like this has happened
before. Canada and Germany both
have tried to breed, not clone,
"better" human beings. History will
repeat itself.
We must face facts; nothing we
can do as a country, organization or
person can stop cloning from
happening. Eventually somebody
will clone a human. All the
regulations, sanctions and laws will
not stop cloning. Given this
outcome all we can do is hope some
deranged person or country will not
try to clone a "superior" race.
Another possibility is that the
first cloning attempts will result in
horrible disfigurements. We know
about Dolly, the cloned sheep, but
do we know how many times the
scientist failed? Was Dolly the first,
or were there other sheep with
three legs, six testes, no head or just
a pile of flesh and bones? The
possibility that cloning will result in
problems is the very reason why we
need not outlaw the procedure.
For if we outlaw clones, only
outlaws will clone. Cloning will be
forced underground. Maybe Richard
Seed, the scientist who announced
he will try to done a human, will
have to go someplace where cloning
is allowed. Perhaps Seed or anybody
else who wants to clone a human
will have to go countries with less-
than-good intentions.
Let us look now at what good
might come of this procedure. A
heart transplant might not come
from another person, but from your
own DNA. People debate whether
cloning is human, but is it human to
wait and hope that someone will die
so you can have life?
With cloning technology a new
kidney, heart, liver or any other vital
organ may be produced for you. As
technology progress maybe nerves
can be fixed through cloning
technology. Many medical
breakthroughs await us.
Cloning humans should not be
made illegal, but should be heavily
regulated. If the technology is
watched closely, we can possibly
stop a abomination from being
"bom
Cloning will be debated even
after the first humans are cloned.
Cloning will happen; all we can do is
try and nudge cloning technology
along in direction that is good for
society as a whole. Now, what is
good for society is another debate
altogether.

Can I exchange my Exchange:
?
Why should I pay now for an
e-mail system that might work
when I'm long gone? Why
should I pay for technology
that I can't use? What's the
problem? When will all this
wonderfully wired technology
work?
Since this campus is one of the top
100 wired college campuses in trie
nation, according to Yahoo I tend
to expect some things
technologically. I must say I have
been left wanting this semester. Yes,
Academic Computing Services, I
have Technology Withdrawal Blues.
Like the rest of the qnlucky
users of the Exchange e-mail
system, I worked myself up to the
screaming point as I tried for days to
log onto my e-mail account. I
believed the old VM system was
down ? I had heard a rumor that
VM would be gone at the end of last
semester. I switched away from VM,
willing to go full steam ahead; out
with the old, in with the new. Until
the new got out of my reach, until
my persistence became futile.
I will happily admit I'm still
using VM ? not only because I can
get to it, but also because I can
actually read the mailing list whose
text Exchange doesn't support.
I've heard that "only 250 can get
on Exchange at once" rumor;
perhaps it's true, but how long does
it take to use e-mail? Why is the
system constantly and continuously
maxed out? Why are the maximum
number of users connected when
the system responds? I've tried at all
hours to get through ? Sunday
night even.
What's worse is that my internet
access at home won't let me at
Exchange; you must have Netscape
Navigator 3.0 or above to access the
system ? a trick to get financially
stropped college students to blow
$100 on software just so we can get
to the e-mail. I understand there's a
way to get Exchange to work
without the Web, but why go to all
that trouble? Is it really worth it? E-
maii is available through most
internet access providers and from
internet sources, like Yahoo! and
HotMail.
The main reason I use the "free"
on-campus e-mail and the rest of
the technology is that I pay for it; I
might as well use what I pay for. But
now, I'm not so sure that what I'm
paying for is worth it. Why should I
pay now for an e-mail system that
might work when I'm long gone?
Why should I pay for technology
that I can't use?
Why should I pay for technology
that may get installed after I'm
gone? Why should I pay. for
. technology that will go whecei don't
use it? My on-campus base is the
English Department, which is badly
in need of technology ? ask any
student or teacher in a computer
classroom; ask any student who's
needed to surf the internet and
gone to the Writing Center to do it.
There arc professors whose
computers can't get to Exchange
I
which is
base of
because they don't have the
memory necessary to make
Netscape and Exchange work. I'd
happily pay a load of money to see
that my department has the
technology available to me as
struggle to graduate.
The Writing Center,
right in my central
operations, is where I accessed the
internet. Now that my access is
gone from there, I have to venture
to other places ? I go to the library,
which seemed to have the
technology I needed until the
Reference section moved, like the
rest of the mobile library wc seem to
have. I'm scared to touch Proquest,
but I will have to if I want to get my
research completed and graduate
soon. I'm not sure that's working;
I'll ask an English 1200 student
who's knee-deep in issue paper
research. I do know some of the
CD-ROM databases on wh;oh I
have become dependent aren't
working. The librarians seem to
it's an Academic Computing hi
that needs to be taken care of.
So, Academic Computing, I ask;
What's the problem? When will all
this wonderfully wired technology
work?
And please, don't promise us the
moon and give us lemons. Get the
technology we have to work before
adding to it. The funny thin about
kinks in systems is if they re not
fixed, people get mad unless you
teJlcthem'tHe.kinks art these .arid
honestly work on them.
I can't be the only one on campus
who's a little let down by the
technological back slide. In the age
of the internet and computers, of
being wired, wc need a system that
works, a system we can depend on.
Maybe some of us will be lucky
enough to see it.
to the Editor
Seniors, take interest in your class gft
my ettorts to Drtng the Seniors of
1998 a truly perfect senior class gift,
I received some rather divine
inspiration that maybe I should ask
the seniors to give some input into
the project.
Have you ever had the feeling
that no one ever seeks the students'
input or that your issues are not
being heard? Hopefully this will
change by becoming involved in the
planning of this year's senior class
gift. A senior class gift should be
something we can all enjoy and
admire years after leaving the
university. It could be used as a tool
to inform all the students after us
about our involvement with the
university.
There are an infinite number of
reasons this project should be
important to all seniors. The lighted
clock in front of the geology building
is just one example of gifts left by
previous classes. It could be that
your idea becomes the basis for the
next senior class gift. All you have to
do is make the effort to write down
your ideas and send them to the
address below.
I would also like to take this
opportunity to ask the seniors to
inform me of any concerns you may
have as a student here at ECU. It is
my responsibility, as one of your
class representatives, to voice your
opinions and ideas whenever a
legitimate concern arises. No, I am
not running for office. I can no
longer run for any other office seeing
that I am graduating in May.
However, I want to make thei,
graduating class of 1998 the best it t
can be. I need your help in doing so. '?
If you arc a senior and have;
concerns or ideas for the senior class,
please feel free to write me at the
following address: Jonathan
Huggins, 1514S. Charles Blvd. 84,
Greenville, N.C. 27858. Be sure and
leave a return address so that I may
get back in touch. Everyone ?,
remember to vote on April 8 so that -
ECU can continue to rise to the top.

How is it where you
are?
8 OUT OF 10
John Davis
ASSISTANT LIFESTYLE EDITOR
The thing people forget about
Nirvana is that Kurt Cobain's
excellent pop song craftsmanship
is what sent them soaring to the
top of the charts, not their
iconoclastic "popularity is bad"
attitude.
The attitude is what made
Kurt Cobain pull out the shotgun.
Unfortunately, with the rise of
Nirvana and all things Seattle,
there emerged this new, strange
genre of nek and roil known as
"indie-rock
Like most self-important
revolutionaries, most indie-rock
bands are so cool and so artistic
that their music is inaccessible to
all but the tiny few who, ironically,
share these same elitist attitudes.
With few exceptions (noted
here as Yo La Tengo, Guided By
Voices and every other Pavement
record) the indie rock genre is
filled with pedantic, spoiled white
kids from the suburbs who can't
quite play their instruments and
can't really sing either.
Thank God though. Rodeo Boy
remembered that the key to
winning friends and influencing
people in the music biz is, in fact,
one's ability to craft a catchy tune
and not the cheapness of one's
thrift-store Naugahyde jacket.
It's kind of nice to see that
somebody out there remembered
that the whole indie-rock scene is
just a Bizarro pop radio scene, and
that, when it comes down to it,
making good pop music ain't all
that awful. Hey, it got the Beatles
and the Stones somewhere.
From the beginning of
"Ordinarily Yours" (a song about a
cross dressing boyfriend who's
been discovered in his girl's
clothes) to the guitar solo in the
finale of "Found Out How is it
where you are? is smart, fun, slick
pop music.
Most of the songs take a few
measures to build up before they
catch their groove, but once they
get going, they ring with James
Reardon's effects-laden guitar riffs
that inspire whatever sort of
thrashing about indie-rockers
consider good dancing to be.
Reardon's vocals are decent -
for the most part he knows he
ability and doesn't try to overexert
himself but he does get that
boy squeal-scream
skinny white
sometimes.
Stand-out
Rodeo Bov's
songs that reveal
true greatness are
"Big Bills Count Once in which
they sound particularly
garagebandlike, complete with old
school punk rawk time signature
changes and rapid-fire vocals, the
epic ballad "Demon Song and
the very Lou Barlow-esqe "Soul
Proprietor
There are a few tracks on the
album that don't send my
pacemaker into overload, like "To
Slash From" and "Country of the
Coward but overall the album is
solid and enjoyable, a good
stepping stone for a band that, if
they keep this up, will write some
really smashing songs in the
future.
Apple to play:
Will she take
Student Union's
blues away?
Committee hopes
Apple's appearance will

John Davis
ASSISTANT LIFESTYLE EDITOR
The Student Union announced Friday that
Grammy-nominated pop singer Fiona Apple
will be performing here at ECU on March
1st. The popular diva, whose hit single, "Criminal"
has been a mainstay on top forty radio, will be the
first big name musical act to play ECU since
Widespread Panic. While this is exciting news,
there is a little apprehension at the Student Union,
who are the promoters of the concert.
In the recent past, there has been less than
pleasing attendance to concerts and events brought
to ECU by the Student Union. The last three
major musical acts to be booked here, Widespread
Panic, A Tribe Called Quest and Little Texas all fell
victim to lackluster ticket sales and less than
enthusiastic student interest.
Most, if not all of the various programs
implemented by the Student Union that were
designed to spark student interest in the shows the
Union has to offer, have failed miserably. In recent
years the Union has tried such programs as "An
Evening With" which featured prominent
comedians Chris Rock and Carrot Top, "The Fan
Club which featured rising local bands
performing at parties before home games, and
"Pirate Underground which is a current program,
free to students, that features
musical acts comprised of
ECU students.
With most of these, there
has been little or no reaction
from the student population.
The Student Union, quite
aware of these problems, has
been reviewing their programs
in an effort to figure out just
what isn't connecting. In the
university's past, such big
name acts as James Taylor,
Linda Rhondstat, Heart,
Jimmy Buffett and Charlie
Daniels all played to sold-out
audiences. More recently, the
only show to sell out here has
been the Allman Brothers.
With each act, problems
have plagued the promoters.
In the case of Little Texas, efforts to advertise on
local country music stations fell through, while
with A Tribe Called Quest, the band simply
cancelled.
"I think the biggest problem with that was that
you couldn't buy tickets anywhere but on campus
C.W Jameson of the Student Union said.
"They saw that tickets sales were poor, and by
their contract, they were allowed to bail said
Jeffrey Marshall, assistant director of university
unions.
When asked why he thought students seemed
uninterested in shows put on by the Student
Union, Marshall felt that there was a large social
aspect to students' choices.
"People want to go where the crowds are. The
last time Hootie played at the Attic I was there
and there were people lined up down the street
to get in the door. But inside, only about 100
people were actually watching the show.
Everyone else was looking around to see who else
was there Marshall added that he understands
the desire to party and experience shows with
friends. All too often though, the acts that people
want to be seen at are too expensive.
What I need
is a good
defense
Fiona is the
Student
Union's great
white hope.

assistant director of university unions
"The dynamics
of the music
business has
changed, I think. It's
quicker-paced and
the money they're
(the artists) asking
for is considerably
more
These days,
touring is seen as a
marketing tool by
many record labels.
Since most of the
bands that college
students listen to
have already
successfully broken
into the college
market, many artists
feel no need to tour colleges.
Some of the problems that the current Student
Union has already discovered are basic things
which can be altered. Under previous
administrations, large amounts of complimentary
tickets were handed out; for some shows, more
than half the tickets were
comp tickets.
The problem of tickets only
being available on campus is
under scrutiny at the moment.
The Student Union is talking
to Ticketmaster about the
possibility of Ticketmaster
making tickets available to
non-students. Of course,
Ticketmaster will add their
service charge. "We certainly
want to retain the right to sell
tickets to students here said
Marshall. "We don't want to
shortchange the students in
this deal
For the moment, the people at
The Student Union are
crossing their fingers, hoping
that the Grammy-nominated
Apple will draw in profitable crowds and perhaps
renew ECU's past reputation of bringing in class
acts.
Apple will be performing at Minges Coliseum.

STAFF WRITER
All across America television screens burn their images onto
the retinas of our bored, entertainment-starved populace.
On one channel, we thrill to the adventures of a dangerously
stupid nuclear technician and his family. On another, we
delight in the bizarre antics of a foul-mouthed group of grade
schoolers. And on yet another, a crazed super hero berates
celebrities for our amusement. It's getting weird out there.
And if they keep making animated TV series like the ones
described above, it's only going to get weirder. The number
of cartoons in primetime is growing by leaps and bounds, and
their popularity is at an all-time high. Currently, we're in a
golden age for TV animation, and the inevitable wave of crap
that follows any fad hasn't hit yet. So before it does, we
thought we'd give you this: the TEC Guide to TV Animation.
Enjoy.
The Simpsons: Currently in its ninth (!) season, The
Simpsons is the grandaddy of them all. Quick, intelligent and
with arguably the best animation on the air, this show is still
a gem. That said, I must also admit that it's faltered this
season. It's not that the show's rapid-fire humor and social satire have grown
stale. It's just that they've slowed down a bit. The jokes don't come at the
same pace, and they're not as viciously funny as thev once were. .After nine

Painfully, uproariously real. Despite occasional
detours into the bizarre (such as the time Bobby
was under the mental control of ants), this show
doesn't have to exaggerate its characters' actions
or personalities to be funny. Though it has an
unfortunate habit of resorting to sitcom-style
plots, it handles those plots well. The recent
"Manger Babies" episode (featuring God's arch-
enemy Joe Sixpack) was a high point, telling
me that the best for King of the Hill is yet to

NASHVILLE, Tenn.
(AP) ? One of the roots
of rock 'n' roll can be
traced to the day 7-year-
old Carl Perkins picked
up a makeshift Perkins
guitar made by his father
from a cigar box,
broomstick and baling
wire.
Sixteen years later, the
poor, unassuming boy
had become one of the
genre's founding fathers
as part of the Sun
Records stable of artists
in the 1950s that
included Elvis Presley
and Jerry Lee Lewis.
Perkins, best known for
writing "Blue Suede
Shoes died at a Jackson
hospital Monday at age
65 of complications
related to a recent series
of strokes.
"We have lost absolutely
one of the people I say is
as responsible as
anybody for rock 'n' roll
said Sam Phillips, owner
was changing to an urban, electric sound, Chicago was its of the Memphis record label
citalVnd Waters was its king Perkins' guitar licks and songwnt.ng melded
Wells had a "less is more" style of playing, said his country and rhythm-and-blues, influencing Presley,
longtime manager, Marty Salzman.
1 Each note had to have the right feel,
the right tone he said.
Wells' "Hoodoo Man Blues
considered by many one of the greatest all-
time blues albums, came out on Delmark
Records in the 1960s.
Wells recorded and toured with guitarist
Buddy Guy, both as headliners and as
opening acts for the Rolling Stones. In
recent years, Wells toured with his own
band and made guest appearances with
rockers Van Morrison and Carlos Santana.
Wells' parents worked a farm in Marion,
Alfc and as a youngster he took an early
interest in music and the Memphis, Tenn
blues scene. He moved to Chicago at 12.
Wells soaked in the music and the
Chicago scene in the late 1940s, playing his
first professional gig at 14 He joined
Waters' band as a teen-ager, replacing
harmonica superstar Little Walter.
According to Salzman, legend has it that
Wells, as a youngster, worked all week on a soda
truck to earn enough money to buy a
harmonica he had seen at a pawn shop. When
told it cost $2, he put down his week's earnings of $1.50,
grabbed the instrument and ran.
Wells was brought before judge and told him he v just
had to have itwhereupon the judge demanded Wells play
the harmonica. After listening, the judge gave the store
owner 50 cents and dismissed the case.
Last year, Wells' "Come on in This House" won the
WC. Handy Blues ward for best traditional blues album.
He also recently completed scenes for the movie " Blues
Brothers 2000" and recorded a song for a Rolling Stones
tribute album called v Paint It Blue: Songs of the Rolling
Stones
Wells is survived by two sisters and 'v many children,
Salzman said.
Lewis, the Beatles, the Stray Cats and dozens of
other rockers over several decades.
He was inducted into the Rock
and RollHall of Fame in 1987.
"Carl was a very close
friend for over 40 years, and his
musical legacy is certain to prevail
forever said Johnny Cash, who
also worked with Perkins at Sun.
Perkins was born April 9, 1932,
outside Tiptonville, near the
Missouri border in rural West
Tennessee. He grew up picking
cotton and soaking in the music
sung by black field hands.
In his spare time, he would retreat
behind his family's chicken house
in west Tennessee and imagine
himself singing on Nashville's
(intni (? Ovry raui')sN?
Just as he was making it big with
his version of "Blue Suede Shoes" in
early 1956, Perkins suffered one of
his greatest disappointments. On
his way to perform on "The Perry
Como Show he broke his neck and
fractured his skull in a traffic accident in Delaware.
Perkins was sidelined for a year, unable to capitalize
on the popularity of "Blue Suede Shoes
Meanwhile, Presley recorded the song and went
on to become one of the most successful stars in
music history. .
"I've never been an envious person, Perkins told
The Associated Press in 1992. "I was raised poor. I
felt fortunate to even be on Sun Records, to be a
small part of what was happening there
Cash took a Perkins song, "Daddy Sang Bass to
the top of the country charts in 1968. Dolly Parton,

though it is a generally entertaining
half-hour show, I can't stand to
watch it. That damn squiggle-vision
effect (the animation technique
that makes all the lines wiggle) gives
me vertigo. Cheap-ass Comedy
Channel animation crap Final
Grade: 5 out of
10.
Beavis
Butthead: At
best, Beavis
Butthead is
sharply-written
and quite funny.
At its worst, it's
all about fart
jokes. I've
always had
mixed feelings
about this show.
The video
segments are
ultimately
annoying, and
where most o:
the dum
gags set in. The
cartoons are
uneven, their
quality
apparently
depending on
how much time
B&B creator
Mike Judge
spent in the
studio that
week. Frankly,
I'm glad they
finally killed it so I can stop trying to
decide if it's any good or not. Final
Grade: Who knows?
Daria: Another Mike Judge
creation, Daria is a nice little send-
up of American youth culture. The
popular kids are appropriately vapid,
and title character Daria is
appropriately unimpressed with
them. But even though our heroine
reminds me of a good friend of mine,
Daria's knee-jerk irony gets old
pretty quickly. There's just no
venom behind it; the show has a
determined lack of energy that saps
it of entertainment value. Sigh. Final
Grade: Who cares?
Spare Ghost Coast to Coast. Marked
by painful, prolonged silences and
jokes that are funny because they
just don't make any sense. Coast to
Coast is the closest American
television has ever gotten to Dadaist
surrealism. I love it. I love the theme
song by noise guitar pioneer Sonny
Sharrock. I love the cheaply recycled
animation from 30-year-old
cartoons. I love the way half the
guests don't seem to understand
that they're being made fun of. I
love the evil, that is, Zorak. I love .
the episode that features pro
wrestler Randy Savage as Space
Ghost's grandfather. There's very
little about this
show that I don't
love, except maybe
that there aren'r
enough episodes.
If you want funny,
this is it. Final
Grade: 10 out of
10.
South Park: The'
flavor of the week.
Unlike most such'
pop culture
phenoms. South.
Part is actually
good. The feeding
frenzy surrounding
this show reminds
me of the one that
surrounded The"
Simpsons in its early'
days. Also like The
Simpsons, South

and generally a lot'
smarter than most,

credit for being. '

many is the foul

offensive humor,
but there's more
going on here than that. South Park is
social satire, and if it offends"
somebody, all the better. We could
use more shows as boldly honest as '

How far did you come to
get to ECU?
Wilmington? Raleigh?
Asheville? Maybe you aren't from
North Carolina. Maybe you came
from Florida, Virginia, or even as
far as New Jersey.
But if you think that you came
a long way, talk for a minute with
one of the athletes who left his or
her home country to play sports at
ECU. Whether they came from
the north, the south
or crossed the
Atlantic to get here,
they left friends and
family behind to be
educated and play
sports here.
The foreign
athletes who attend
ECU come mainly
from other North
American countries or
European nations.
Many members of the
tennis teams come
from Scandinavian nations. Other athletes
represent European nations such as Spain,
Portugal or Austria.
Trying to decide on a college is never easy
for anybody, but trying to do it with.an ocean
between you and the school is nearly
impossible.
"I first heard of ECU on the
Internet said Cecilia Shinn, a
sophomore on the women's
basketball team. Shinn came to
ECU from Portugal.
"Coach D Anne Donovan,
head coach of women's
basketball called me up
Shinn said. "It was very
difficult because it was all over
the phone, with no visits to the
school
Coach Donovan must have
told Shinn everything right
about ECU, because it was the
KeHy NiUemson
women nun w fird
only college she
seriously considered.
"I vaguely looked at
other schools, but ECU
was the only one I was
interested in. I came to
ECU because I got the
chance to play
basketball here Shinn
said. The basketball
scene is very different in
Portugal. Soccer is the
main sport in Portugal,
but basketball is
growing
"I've been playing for five years now. I used
to play basketball in high school. A friend knew
of a women's team starting up, and I joined it.
Not many of my friends played basketball, and
it was like I went into a different world
Freshman Kelly Niklason's story is very
different from Shinn's. Niklason
was bom in America, but spent
much of her life overseas. Her
father works for the government
as a teacher for military kids
whose parents are stationed
abroad. Her family has long had a
connection to ECU, so her first
semester here was a kind of
familial homecoming.
"My dad played football at ECU
and my mom was a cheerleader
here too, so there's kind of a
tradition in my family Niklason
said. "A lot of my other relatives

played here and at other schools
Niklason
lived in
England for a
year and a half
before moving
to the
Netherlands a
semester
before
graduating
from high
school.
Unfortunately,
in the midst of
her various
moves, a high
school
counselor made serious errors in her transcript
and, as a result, Niklason has been forbidden
from competing on the women's track team.
The NCAA and other organizations have so far
been unwilling to correct the mistakes and
restore Niklason's eligibility Keep reading the
East Carolinian for an article focusing on
Niklason's story
Fresh talent lies all over the world, and it is
to the athletic department's benefit to
encourage foreign athletes to attend ECU.
They bring with them new perspectives and
ways of looking at their sport, and they also find
new methods here. Shinn, for example, has
found the opportunity to learn more about her
favorite sport since coming to ECU.

learn more about basketball Shinn said.

Consistency is
the key for spring
golf season
Returning players expected to lead team
to good conference standing
James Camp
STAFF WRITER
The beginning of the new year for many means that it's time for
another semester of learning. For some students it is a time for learning
and a time to hit the links. That's right it's time for the ECU golf team
to get ready for the spring season.
The Pirate golfers, coming off a 44-37-1 fall record, start official
practices on Feb. 2. They tough it out practicing in the cold North
Carolina weather to get ready for tournament play in the warmer
weather of March.
Although the Pirates are returning from the fall with a winning record,
according to Head Coach Kevin Williams, the season was disappointing.
"I wasn't pleased with the way we played and expected a lot more
out of the team Williams said. "We had some good individual play, but
as a team, we need to play better. We need some consistency to win this
spring Williams said.
Williams is hoping sophomore Mark Miller will bring that consistency.
Miller played well in the fall and even tied for first place in the Palmetto
Intercollegiate Tournament. Another player Williams wants to turn to for
his leadership skills is senior Kevin Miller.
Williams also wants to see sophomore Mark Riggs really step it up.
"Mark is a really good tournament plaver but he reallv needs to
compete better in practice Williams said. "But it's not just Mark; all
the guys need to play to their potential. Someone has to step it up in the
4th or 5th spot for us
Even though Williams was disappointed with the fall, he did say there
were some good points to the season.
"We ended the season on a positive note with some wins and we did
finish with a winning record Williams said. "Our spring schedule looks
pretty good and I think if we play with some consistency, we can really
turn the corner in the spring and finish well in the conference
The golf team hopes to pull together this season and deliver that level
of play that Williams would like to see. If they do bring that level of
consistency they might be able to improve on their 3rd place finish in
the CAA Tournament.

The meet against the Seahawks will be tough a battle
near the end of the season. With such a strong rivalry
and a powerful Wilmington team, the Pirates are up

colleges and universities nationwide for a winter
workout in West Palm Beach, Fla. This nine day
journey was seen by Kobe as one of the most
important times of the season.
"The purpose of our trip was to get everyone in great
shape Kobe said. "We had to go down there and work
hard
The team trained in an Olympic sized facility; two and
a half times the size of the pool at Minges Coliseum.
The Pirates conditioned for five hours a day,
swimming over 100,000 yards in a little over a week.
"Florida is probably the most essential part of the
season Kobe said. "Hopefully, we'll see to reap the
rewards from it toward the later part of our season
The regular season finale will conclude with a road trip to Virginia
Tech on Jan. 31. As the toughest matchup of the year, the Pirates hope
to end this season with yet another win.

The Pirate softball team
hopes to build on last season's

another high-caliber pitcher.

Last year the Lady Pirates posted an
unprecedented 49-24 overall record,
the best known in the history of the
program. The overall pitching staff
for the team was also the best in the
Big South Conference, leading in
ERA, innings pitched and the least
walks allowed.
"We did so much with only three
pitchers last season so hopefully we
can build on that record and make it
even better this year Head Coach
Tracey Kee said.
The Lady Pirates senior ace,
Bendle, will have to play nearly
perfect to top her 1997 season. She is
bolster an already strong pitching rotation, led the second all-time leader in most win
by seniors Jami Bendle, Christi Valevich and strikeouts, and shutouts, returning with a 1.85
sophomore Denise Reagan. ERA and a 27-11 record.
Valevich is the staff's other senior, boasting
a 2.16 returning ERA and an overall record of 8-
Reagan, the fire-balling sophomore, returns
carrying the team's best individual ERA of 1.69
and a record of 12-8.
Paganini, of Long Island, N.Y. is another
hard thrower and is expected to be the icing on
the cake for the squad this season.
"They will definitely set the tone for the
season Kee said. "We have always had a strong
pitching staff here at ECU, and this year it will
be strengthened with the ambition of another

UK looks to forfeit scheduled game
Sports
ixuih I )t
ECU officials said Tuesday
they have never agreed to release
the University of Kentucky from
a contract to play the Pirates in
Greenville in 1998 and expect
them to honor their contractual
commitment to play in Dowdy-
Ficklen Stadium.
Mike Hamrick, ECU Athletics
Director, and university attorney
Ben Irons met with three
members of the staff of the state
attorney general's office Tuesday
in Raleigh "to explore options
concerning the actions taken by
Kentucky in its desire to cancel
the 1998 football game in
Greenville according to
Hamrick. "The state attorney
general's office has indicated to
us that they will immediately
begin the process of trying to
obtain as much information as
possible on the issue
"The attorney general will
request from the University of
Kentucky all documents relating
to its decision not to honor their
commitment through our
contractual agreement
The contract as amended
between the schools calls for two
games to be played in Lexington
and one in Greenville. The
Pirates played at Kentucky in
1993 and are slated to travel to
Lexington again in 1999.
The 1998 game in Greenville
had originally been scheduled for
Nov. 12 before UK officials last
August initiated and were
granted a request to have the
date changed to Sept. 12. An
addendum to change the date
was signed by Kentucky Athletics
Director CM. Newton and was
agreed upon by ECU. This
change was agreeable to ECU
since the expansion project to
Dowdy-Ftcklen Stadium had
delayed until fall of 1998.
"We believe that having
Kentucky as our first opponent in
the new stadium would be
attractive to our fans Hamrick
said. "Kentucky certainly was
aware from our discussion of the
importance of this game to our
program.
"Football games must be '
scheduled years in advance k
Hamrick said. "This change of:
event is extremely disturbing at
such a late date (ECU was
notified in writing on Jan. 7 of;
KU's intention not to fulfill its
contractual agreement),
especially in light of Kentucky
having made and been granted a !
request last August to change the
date of the game. To not have '
Kentucky on our 1998 home ?
schedule would cause ECU to t
suffer damages far in excess of"
the $175,000 that the University
of Kentucky stated it would pay ??
Hamrick also said, "at no time
did we agree to release the
University of Kentucky form its
contractual obligation. We have
indicated to them that we expect
them to honor their commitment
and we will continue to do ;
everything we can to hold
Kentucky accountable for

Falcons could have had
both Favre and Holmgren
ATLANTA (AP) ?Here's one
for the what if department.
Green Bay quarterback Brett
Favre and coach Mike Holmgren
could have teamed for the Atlanta
Falcons instead, but it didn't
happen. If it had, Favre thinks
Atlanta would have a Super Bowl
title to show for it.
There's an old saying down
home in Kiln (Miss.): Wire if a
fifth we'd all be drunk by now,
Favre told The Atlanta Journal-
Constitution from San Diego
where he was preparing for the
Super Bowl. But I know this
much: Where I played, I was
gonna win. And I'm sure Mike
would have been successful
where he landed.
Favre was drafted by the
Falcons but traded to Green Bay
in 1992. Two years earlier, as the
Falcons sought a coach,
Holmgren was frequently
mentioned and was strongly
recommended to then vice
president Ken Herock by former
San Francisco coach Bill Walsh.
But Holmgren, then the 49ers'
offensive coach, couldn't discuss
the job until the season ended for

San Franciso, which was involved
in the playoffs.
There was a fear on some
people's part, that if we waited for
him, it would be late in the going
and he might have problems in
putting together a staff, Herock
recalled Monday.
So the Falcons hired Jerry
Glanville and Holmgren stayed in
San Francisco or two more seasons
before becoming coach of the
Packers.
I had heard some things, but I
don't deal now withwhat if kinds
of things, Holmgren said.
Konstantinov Walking,
Laughing
DETROIT (AP) ? Detroit Red
Wings dcfenseman Vladimir
Konstantinov, recovering from
serious head injuries sustained in a
limousine wreck seven months
ago, is making impressive
progress.
I thought he was doing very
well, said coach Scotty Bowman,
who visited Konstantinov on
Thursday at a rehabilitation
center in Florida. He ate well, and
he fed himself. He was laughing a
lot Red Wings trainer John
Wharton, forward Doug Brown,
and associate coach Dave Lewis
visited Konstantinov the following
day.
He was extremely excited to
see his teammates, and obviously
the feeling was mutual, Wharton
said. It was so emotional for us,
especially since (doctors) didn't
think he'd get to this point.
We were told he never walked
more than 25 to 30 steps, but he
walked 75 feet with us. And he
kept smiling and looking back
while he was doing it to make sure
we were all watching. He was so
proud.
Konstantinov was injured June
13, less than a week after helping
the Red Wings win their first
Stanley Cup since 1955. He has
been undergoing rehabilitation in
Florida since Nov. 15.
He's at his playing weight, 195
pounds, said Wharton, who last
saw Konstantinov six weeks
earlier. He's working at rehab six
hours a day in ccupational,
physical and speech therapy.
Black Coaches Consider
Suit
NEW YORK (AP)? Angry about
coaching hiring patterns in the
NFL, a small group of black
assistant coaches has privately
talked about the possibility of
filing a class-action discrimination
lawsuit, The New York Times
reported today. The assistants
have gone so far as to speak to civil
rights lawyers about their chances
and options, the Times said. Some
of the assistants said the chance of
filing such a lawsuit was extremely
small. Right now, one of them
said, it's just talk.
According to another assistant,
that is because such a suit could
prove to be more detrimental than
helpful. There is the fear that any
assistant coach who became part
of it would end up like Curt Flood,
who was treated as an outcast after
challenging major league
baseball's reserve system in court.
The Times did not identify any
of the assistants it quoted.

wrestler Steve Austin challenged
the boxer to a fight. The two
briefly scuffled in the ring.
Afterward, WWF owner Vince

regular season with the Denver
Broncos. Broncos coach Mike

WASHINGTON (AP) ?The
Supreme Court today turned away
a taxpayer challenge to the
publicly financed construction of
the Seattle Mariners' new baseball
stadium.
The justices, without
comment, let stand a Washington
Supreme Court ruling that upheld
the use of King County's $336
million bond issue to finance the
stadium.
In the appeal acted on today, a
group known as Taxpayers of King
County contended that it was not
treated fairly in the state courts.
The ruling last June by
Washington's highest court
allowed construction to continue
on the ballpark, located south of
the Mariners' current home
Seattle's Kingdornc. Club
officials have said they hope to

have the stadium completed by
mid-1999. A spokesman for the
Mariners referred inquiries to the
Public Facilities District, the
agency established to build the
stadium.
NOur organization has been
very confident in our legal basis all
through the court action said
Ken Johnsen, executive director of
the stadium authority.
" Hopefully, this marks the end of
our court cases
Chris Van Dyk, who has led
opposition to the project, did not
immediately return a telephone
call for comment.
The state court, by a 7-2 vote,
said opponents had offered "no
compelling arguments" to suppon
their claim that the financing
scheme for the $414 million
ballpark is unlawful.

Big Three back together
for a day
BOSTON (AP) ? It was a
flashback to a different, more
stable era: Larry Bird, Kevin
McHale and Robert Parish
together again on the parquet
court.
The Big Three stood side-by-
side as a symbol of what the NBA
and the Boston Celtics once were
a league that gave fans more time
to develop loyalties, a team that
used dominate.
They were teammates for 12
seasons, champions together for
three. Now rookies can become
free agents after only three years.
And the Celtics, rebuilding under
Rick Rtino, haven't won a title
since 1986.
Last Sunday, the Big Three,
perhaps the greatest frontline in
NBA history, were reunited. But
Bird and Parish weren't working
their precision pick-and-roll, and
McHale wasn't making his
unstoppable inside moves.
They were there for the
retirement of Parish's No. 00,
Everbody goes their
separate ways Bird said after a
103- win in his first game in
Boston with another team.
Bird is 41 now and coach of
the Indiana Pacers. McHale is 40
and vice president of basketball
operations of the Minnesota
Timberworves.
