gpi .i� THURSDAY JANUARY 29.1998 EASTCAROWAWIVERSnY 6flE�NVHif,N0fiTtiCAR0UNA Lighting problems on campus pinpointed by Chancellor Another walk planned to take place in spring AMBER TATUM STAFF WHITE Chancellor Richard Eakin, in the company of various officials, recently walked around campus pinpointing areas that lack sufficient lighting. Those present to walk were as follows: Ren Kisida, director of Facilities Services; Sergeant LaFrance Davis, crime prevention agent; Theresa Crocker, chief of ECU Police; Dean of Students Ron Spcier, Tom Younce, assistant director of ECU Police; Leslie Pulley, secretary of SGA; and Chris Feathers, chief of staff of SGA. While many areas identified have little or no lighting, some of the darkness was due to malfunctions in the lamps, temporary construction areas and burnt out bulbs. "I sent out work orders today to get the lights back in working order Kisida said. Funding for this project comes from the repair and renovation budgets of student unions and similar organizations. Kisida said this summer when the west campus resident and freshman parking lots are paved, lighting will improve. "Parking lots at Fifth and Reade (streets) arc going to be paved and new lights will go up then Kisida said. One of the darkest areas identified on campus is the mall on the north side of Joyner Library. "W: have hired an engineer to come in and look at lights in the mall and suggest improvements Kisida said. Kisida said the type of lighting to SEE UGHT PROBLEMS. WGE4 Problem-plagued Exchange users barrage Academic Computing with access problems, complaints E-Mail alternatives available to students Mailboxes to provide link between students, SGA AMBER T.ATI'M STFF WRITKR in !� twnprtir ttk ttttntpt to log or to Eadttagt. pwrra by joctum fmum Many students are enjoying the Microsoft Exchange system � if they arc lucky enough to actually get to the program. Campus officials have said the e-mail program is not the problem, rather the problem lies with the access. Since Christmas, students have found it virtually impossible to get to their Exchange accounts; a message saying either the server is down or the maximum number of users were connected to the server greeted many a user. Picture the Exchange program as a heart; if the web connection were an artery, it would be clogged with cholesterol as too many students get on-line at once. "Our issue is related to Microsoft and the ability to have students, faculty, staff, etc. use the web connector and Exchange in a simultaneous fashion said Ernie Marshhurn, associate director for Academic Computing and Microcomputing Services. Students now have several ways to get into their e-mail. Four different ways of getting into the e-mail system exist such as the new POP, IMAP and LAN Student Exchange and the web connection which is known as the old VM version of e-mail. "Previously there were only two 'doorways' into Exchange: LAN client tor faculty and staff and the web connection for students Marshburn said. A limit of 500 users has been put on the web connection to try to deter people from choosing that alternative into Exchange. Meanwhile, ECU's CIS staff has developed other ways for students to use their e- mail. "The recommendation from Microsoft at the present time was to limit usage until we could determine how best to fix the problem Marshburn said. Knowing the importance of e-mail being available to students caused CIS officials to work arduously on this problem. A LAN Student Exchange has been developed by ECU's Assistant Manager of Academic Computing, Barney Jemigan. "ECU has created something that no one has Marshburn said. "Vfe have had to be resourceful and something (LAN Student Exchange) has bloomed out of it. The floppy disk allows mobility that was not possible before. East Carolina, specifically a member of my staff, found a way to provide nomadic capability in the LAN client and found a way to install that in a public lab. SEE EXCNAR6�, PAGE3 6 locations selected as drop sites AMBER TATUM STAFF WRITER The Student Welfare Committee is opening the floor for suggestions from students. "Students can have a direct channel of information with the student government said Andrew Riddle, co-chair of Student Welfare Committee. Suggestion mailboxes will be put into the entrance of six main buildings on campus each with its own pen and scrap paper. "There will be six (mail)boxes in all Riddle said. "There will be one at the Wright Place, Mendenhall, Minges Coliseum, Allied Health, one at Todc Dining Hall and one at Joyner Library Both the Student Welfare Committee and the Student Government Association need input from the students. Without it, they feel there will be no improvement. "The essence of the whole thing is for students to be aware of what it is that the SGA can do for them Riddle said. Groups like these are responsible for things like adding more light to darker areas of campus or going to higher officials with ideas other students may bring to their attention that are aimed at improving life at ECU. "I hope the students take advantage of these suggestion boxes so that everyone can have direct influence in their student goverment Riddle said. These will not be the normal mailboxes that one would sec in front of a private residence. They are to be decorated by students from the School of Art. Derek Cruz is the president of the painting guild for this project. "It's great to have the art department spice up these boxes Riddle said. The mailboxes will be checked on a regular basis so that those concerns will be addressed at the next SGA meeting. Ramadan observed by Muslims on campus New Pirate logo boosts merchandise sales Month of fasting reinforces self-control Jacqueline D. kellum ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR Members of ECU's Muslim Student Association (MSA) will soon be celebrating Eid, the official end of the Muslim month of Ramadan. "This is the holy month of Islam this is the month that we fast, it's called the month of Ramadan, and we fast from sunrise to sundown MSA member Laila Farbadi said. During this month, Muslims not only do not eat during daylight hours, but also do not drink. They break their fast each day after sundown. Observance of Ramadan is one ol the requirements of the Islamic religion. �br us, the significance of Ramadan we have a foundation of Islam, and there are five pillars, and one of those is fasting, member Moahad Dar said. The other four pillars Shahada, �aiat, Zakat and Hajj. The purposes of Ramadan include learning patience and self- control, proving faith and fostering empathy with those less fortunate. "The reason behind this is to practice self-control, and to see how poor people feel when they're hungry, and there's no food around member Rania Abdel-Rahman said. "We're doing this to show our willingness to do what the word of God has told us Dar said. SEE RAMADAN. PAGE 3 PeeDee's popularity remains steady Holly Harris SENIOR WRITER PeeDee isn't the only pirate in town. Officials at the Student Store say that since the Jan. 8 unveiling of merchandise displaying the tougher, sleeker, pirate logo, sales have been supportive of the new image. "The sales have been really good, we've been selling almost all the new logo stuff we have said Wanda A. Scarborough, director of the ECU Student Store. So far the new pirate design, reminiscent of a design the university used in the 1970's, has appeared mostly on apparel like shirts and caps. Sue Brown, merchandising manager for the Student Store, says response has been so favorable that the Student Store plans to order more items with the newly designed pirate such as glasses, drinking cups and decals. It is hoped that the new mascot's older roots will make it popular with alumni as well as current students. "We have heard so much from A student checks out new merchandise. FH0T0 BY ClAY IUCK the students and the alumni that we were sure it would take off Brown said. However, some students arc not so convinced of the gruff pirate's appeal. "I don't like it, it looks too rugged; it makes us look like we're mean said Lisa Moorhead, a freshman chemistry major. "Everybody likes PeeDee because he's outgoing and he makes the football games fun Despite PeeDee's continued popularity, and the fact the he will still be the only mascot that will SEE PIRATE LOGO PAGE 4 SheSwePMcw $alat RamadanaiSMam ShahadaZakatHall Shahada isPrayer fivettaasadanZakat is theHaji calls the pillar oftimes a day.it Ikepillar offor a islamduringHsijIslam whichpilgrainage that iswhichmejalharcalls forto Mecca, character-MuslimsIslam iaMuslims towhich all ized byface Meccaxakagive alms toMuslims the personalThe prayersMuslimsthe needy.are required declarationare done inda vitalEach yearto of dieearly morn-or drinkall Muslimsundertake Musliming (calledtHaVare requiredonce in faith.Sajr). noonUIBdKUto give 2.3thier and the(Zuhr).sundown.percent oflifetime. belief thatafternoonMaalimftheirunless lack Allah(asr), sunsetteak taliannualof funds is the one(Maghrib).bat eachsavings to .makes the and onlyand night-day. a&ctthose lessjourney God.time (Isha)sundown.fortunate.impossible.

A police officer discovered the cross on his way to work Sunday about 5:30 a.m. The cross was about five feet tall and planted on the school's front lawn near a flag pole, according to the police report. The police report said school officials reported there were some incidents with some of the black and white students at the school. School principal Lynn Milncr said Monday she had questioned students and was confident none of them were involved. Raleigh lawyer accused of stalking mayor RALEIGH (AP) �A female Raleigh lawyer is accused of stalking Mayor Tom Fetzer, allegedly turning up at his house and public appearances despite Rjczer admonishing her to stay away. Raleigh police on Wednesday issued a warrant charging Valerie J. Dayc, 40, of misdemeanor stalking. She previously had been charged with trespassing at Fctzcr's home Wednesday, police said. Fetzer declined to talk about, the situation, but city spokeswoman Jayne Kirkpatrickl said the situation doesn't involve Fetzer's duties as mayor. It has to do with his being an attractive, single, middle-aged man, she said, fetzer found Daye outside his home after a City Council meeting Tucsdaynight and again Wednesday morning, said City Manager Dempscy Ben ton. Police Chief Mitch Brown said Daye had shown up at Fetzer's house before and he had warned her to stay away. Dayc, who practices law alone in north Raleigh, reportedly has been an outspoken Fetzer supporter during his three terms as mayor and volunteered in his and other Republicans' campaigns. Hillary Clinton hails UNICEF, ignores sex scandal NEW YORK (AP) �Hillary Rodham Clinton today blamed the sex scandal surrounding her husband on a vast right-wing conspiracy that has dogged them for years, saying, we ye been accused of everything, including murder. The best thing to do in these cases is to be patient, take a deep breath and the truth will come out, she said on NBC's Today show. She described the allegations as "an effort to undo the results of two elections and said when all the facts are known some folks are going to have a lot to answer for. The allusion to a murder accusation stems from the suicide of White House aide Vince Foster in July 1993. Extensive government investigations concluded he shot himself in a park outside Washington. Mrs. Clinton spoke calmly but firmly in giving her most detailed response yet since allegations emerged explosively last week that the president had an affair with former White House intern Monica Lewinsky and there was an attempt to cover it up. Organization recognizes adult, non-traditional students JENNY V1CKERS STAFF WRITER Pinnacle, ECU's newest non- traditional honor society, had its inaugural induction recently. The society exists in over 125 institutions nationwide and represents a diversity of active and accomplished students. Lucy Wright, coordinator of Adult Student Services for ECU and Pinnacle's adviser, addressed the group of student at the induction. "Most of the members are employed, many have children and a majority of them commute Wright said. "They are an interesting group, and the age span is wide. It's amazing what they do This honorary organization began in April of 1989, and offers adult and other non-traditional students opportunities they weren't receiving in the traditional honorary societies represented on the nation's campuses. It developed in response to the fact that no older students have ever been accepted for membership in the traditional honoraries. This honor society aims to give recognition to them. ECU received their charter on Oct. 30,1997. The Peak, a newsletter of Pinnacle, stated that chapters start up "All of them balance an incredible number of demands on their time and energy, demands such as study, work, family, leadership roles and volunteer service Lucy Wright coordinator of Adult Student Services for ECU and Pinnacle "Pinnacle babysitting cooperatives and food purchasing co-ops, improve parking and class scheduling times, create carpools, kiddie pools, and 'after schools The newsletter also spoke about the diversity of honorees, which they believe is quite amazing. The group consists of a variety of different figures: a retired police chief, professional clowns, a magician, retired teacher, single mothers and fathers and even an 83- year-old senior studying literature. Most range in age from 25 to 52, and the average age is 33. Students must qualify as adult or non- traditional students, must be at least 25 years of age, have senior status, a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale, have been involved in at least three campus andor community activities, demonstrate leadership, persistence, and future promise and maintain the highest ethical standards. Students are screened by a selection committee comprised of adult and non-traditional students, faculty and administrators. Induction of new members takes place twice a year. "This group of students volunteers countless hours to a total of 144 campus and community organizations Wright said. "The average student is busy, but you add the amount of additional service to that, and the fact that they are very successful shows they are a highly motivated population. The average grades of adult students are much higher than traditional students. Debra Baker, assistant director in Career Services at ECU, and Marion Sykes, senior associate director for Undergraduate Admissions, both spoke at the induction and have made enormous contributions to adult students at ECU. Wright said ECU picked the Pinnacle due to the fact that it required volunteer service, and it was reasonably priced. Wright feels that Pinnacle is a real support for adult students. "All of them balance an incredible number of demands on their time and energy, demands such as study, work, family, leadership roles and volunteer service Wright said. Greenville police arrest two on drug charges Clintons warned daughter early to expect attacks NEW YORK (AP) � Hillary Rodham Clinton said today that her daughter, Chelsea, was all right in the face of the scandal � having been forewarned from childhood to expect personal attacks on her father. I really want to thank people for just letting her continue to be a freshman, Mrs. Clinton said on NBC's Today. The Clintons' 17-year-old daughter is in her first year at Stanford University and has remained there since the furor erupted last week over allegations that President Clinton had a sexual relationship with a 24-year- old former White House intern, Monica Lewinsky. Both Bill and I have talked to her a lot Mrs. Clinton said. I was telling Chelsea when she was a child that this is going to happen, and it's very unfortunate. British Prime Minister calls Clinton to offer support LONDON (AP) � Prime Minister Tony Blair called President Clinton today to express his support. Blair told Clinton that he had been following events and that he was thinking of him, said the prime minister's spokesman, speaking on customary condition of anonymity. Clinton has been accused of having a sexual relationship with a White House intern and then encouraging her to lie about it. He has firmly denied any impropriety. During the 15-minute conversation, Clinton told the prime minister that they would be able to talk about it more next week, Blair's spokesman said. Blair plans to fry to Washington for three days of talks with Clinton. He is scheduled to depart Feb. 4 and return Feb. 7, accompanied by his wife, Cherie. Recently illegalized GHB among substances seized Jacqueline d. kelu'm siT r �.Fvs EMTfM Greenville police made two arrests last week, seizing several weapons and illegal drugs. One of the drugs was the so-called "date-rape" drug, GHB (gamma-hydroxybutyrate). "That was a pretty common sized drug bust said arresting officer T.S. Mclnerney of the Greenville police department. "The onlv unusual thing was the GHB. That just became illegal in this state as of Dec. 1 Arrest reports show that Edward Thomas Maul, 30, and Paul Jeffrey Temple, 29, were both arrested on Jan. 14 at their place of residence on David Drive. Both were charged with possession with intent to sell marijuana, maintaining a dwelling for drug activity, possession with intent to sell methanphetamines, and possession of drug paraphernalia. Temple was also charged with possession with gamma intent to sell hydroxybutyrate. According to Mclnerney, there were also weapons seized at the site of the arrest. "With Greenville, anytime we recover drugs, we usually find guns Mclnerney said. "They go hand in hand While the arrests occurred off- campus, they still have a potential impact on the student population and its accessibility to drugs. "Anytime you've got someone in town producing a lot of drugs it's going to have an impact on the campus environment said Johnnie Umphlet, captain of ECU police. "The use of illegal substances is a very serious problem across the country we are not immune to that said Associate Dean of Students Karen Boyd. "Anytime a supplier is taken off the streets, it's a positive thing Both Boyd and Mclnerney confirmed that they had seen evidence of GHB use among students. Edward COUBTtSlT "There has been some (GHB) use, we have had students hospitalized for it Boyd said. "My unit is tactical patrol, and we assist the bike patrol downtown, and we see a good number of people passing out from (GHB) use Mclnerney said. According to Health Educator Heather Zophy of the Student Health Center, GHB has medicinal uses. "It's a central nervous system depressant Zophy said. "It's used as an anesthetic and in the treatment of narcolepsy and alcoholism Possibly because GHB has some valid medical uses, and only in the past couple of years has begun to be .used recreationalry, it hs only recently been declared an illegal drug. "i think up until Dec. 1, GHB was a drug you could find in some health-food stores said Secant ClSton Weatheringtpn xf the Greenville Police Special Investigation Unit. "It had not Thomas Maul SREENVIUE roilCE really been a problem until just recently The effects of GHB may include drowsiness, loss of motor coordination, impaired judgment, dizziness, confusion, vomiting, seizures, and possibly unconsciousness. All of these effects are intensified when GHB is combined with alcohol. It is the unconsciousness which helps GHB create a potential date- rape situation. "You can slip it into someone's drink it causes a alcohol effect, like a hangover-free high Zophy said. Unlike another potential date- rape drug, rohypnol (or "roofies"), which is almost always slipped into a victim's drink without his or her knowledge, GHB is sometimes taken intentionally. "I think it (drug use) is both side's responsibility Boyd said. "It's not just the dealer, it's the user Maul was contacted by TEC shortly after the arrest, but said that he needed to seek the advice of his attorney before commenting. Further calls revealed that the phone number shared by Maul and Temple had been disconnected. Iraq says U.S. opposes political solution BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP)� The United States is intent on a military strike against Iraq and does not want a diplomatic solution to the crisis over U.N. weapons inspections, an Iraqi government spokesman contended today. The official's remarks, carried by the Iraqi News Agency, came hours before Russian envoy Viktor Posuvalyuk arrived in Baghdad to try to negotiate an end to the standoff. Crossing the Iraqi border by road from Jordan, Posuvalyuk said he was on an urgent mission to find a way out of such a situation through political and diplomatic means.

"ECU is the first in the nation to have this product installed One may read this and ask themselves why ECU even changed e-mail programs when the old VM apparently worked just fine. "Why should ECU be stuck in the datk ages when there is all this new technology?" Marshburn said.

Seminars are scheduled for Monday, Feb. 2 at the Aycock difficult, Abdel-Rahman said, because of the long days and the heat. At the end of Ramadan, the month's fast is broken with a celebration called Eid, which involves the entire Islamic community. The breaking of the fast at the end of each day is a smaller affair to be conducted with one's family. MSA also initiated a project with Muslim children in the area dring Ramadan. Muslim children are not required to participate in the fasting until they reach puberty Some parents, according to Abdel- Rahman, encourage their children to attempt fasting for a few days at a time, to prepare them for the time when they will have to fast for the entite month. "Ramadan is a very special month for children Abdel- Rahman said. "Some of them fast for the whole month. So we try to reward them for that, just to say we're proud of them This project was meant to not only reward the children for fasting, but also to give them their own holiday, not shared by their Christian counterparts. "We made gift packs for the children because I think Muslim childten feel left out at Christmas Farhadi said. MSA was organized to provide a support system for the Muslim minority at ECU, and also to encourage better understanding among the general campus population about Muslims and Islam.

January 27, 1998 news The East Carolinian English Dept. lecturer receives grant for doctorate completion Grant program in danger of cancellation JENNY VlCKERS STAFF WRITER Reginald Watson, a lecturer in ECU's English department, is one of two recipients awarded this year for the UNC Doctoral Program. The program, which awards the recipients a year off from teaching with a full lecturer's salary, is helpful for Watson this year; however, it doesn't seem promising for others. The program might be next in line on the chopping block. The UNC Doctoral Program aims to provide students with the time needed to finish a PhD. Thanks to the program, Watson is finishing his PhD in four years verses he six or seven years it usually requires to finish. Watson is grateful to the state for the program, and he said he feels blessed; however, he said it's still tough to focus on what he's doing while at the same time trying to balance family and professional responsibilities. After the recipients finish their dissertations they are required to teach two years within the UNC system. That's what you have to give them back Watson said. "Keep in mind the money you receive is not extra money, it's the normal salary you get for teaching. The only difference now is that I'm getting paid to do work on my doctoral degree Over the years the program's numbers have gradually been decreasing. The program, which began in 1980, was initially awarding 15 or 16 grants a year compared to two awarded this year. "That's a signal to me that next year there might only be one awarded, or there might not be any Watson said. "I fear that this program might be cut Watson feels this program increases the number of PhD holders at predominately non-doctoral black schools. He says the state claims the numbers are decreasing because there is less funding; however, he feels this is not the true reason. "In the years that the numbers have been cut you can see that there has been a surplus, not a deficit Watson said. Molly Broad, UNC president, aims to do a review of all the race- based programs in the state. "Basically, on the surface people are saying the program is not race based; it is not affirmative action "It's hard for ECU and other institutions in this state to gain and retain quality minority faculty because they're not willing to promote or put their money where their mouth is Reginald Watson lecturer in ECU'S English department Reginald Watson ENGLISH LECTURER Watson said. "But if you look at the figures you can see that African-Americans are first on the list of receiving awards, white women were second, then Asian- Americans, and so on Watson applied three years in a row for the program, and was nominated twice by Chancellor Eakin for it. "I think I have been very lucky and blessed Watson said. "It is due largely from the support from this institution, Chancellor Eakin, Don Palumbo and finally from the state. But, at the same time it has not solved all of the problems of a PhD program After teaching his required two years at a UNC system school, he is unsure if he will continue to teach in North Carolina. Although he believes the UNC system would like him to commit to teaching in the state for as long as posssible, he plans to go elsewhere after his two years are up. He believes that until the state starts to pay what teachers deserve, nothing will change. "It's hard for ECU and other institutions in this state to gain and retain quality minority faculty because they're not willing to promote or put their money where their mouth is Watson said. He gives credit to the effort College of Arts and Sciences Dean W Keats Sparrow has put into recruiting minorites; however, he feels that Greenville has to work a little more. "I will not stay the rest of my life in a state that has yet to pay university instructors the money they deserve Watson said. "We are 44th or 45th in the country in terms of paying teachers Watson presently is working on his dissertation, which addresses how the mulatto has been represented in 19th and 20th century. His work is a six-chapter book he hopes will be finished in May. In August he will return as a lecturer at ECU, and he wishes to get promoted and earn tenure track as an assistant professor. Regardless of the attempt to increase diversity and education in the UNC system, with such programs like the UNC Doctoral Program, Witson feels they could do better. "I think they should, one, continue to give extra money, two, offer it to more people, and three, not cut the program Witson said. "This would provide incentive for people to work on their PhD. This program is about the closest to helping minorites that I've seen rn January 20, 1998 Possession of Controlled Substances � A staff member reported the smell of burning marijuana coming from a room in Aycock Hall. Marijuana and a capsule of white powder were seized. The student was issued a CAT and state citation. Further charges are possible. Possession of Weapon and Marijuana � After an anonymous report of marijuana in Belk Hall a search was conducted and marijuana and brass knuckles were seized. January 21. 1998 B&E of Motor Vehicle � A non-student was arrested after an officer observed him breaking into a vehicle in the 2nd and Reade Freshman Lot. Felonious Breaking & Entering & Larceny � A resident of Aycock Hall reported that while returning to her room, she passed a person carrying a stereo similar to hers. Once she arrived to her room she found the stereo and several compact discs missing. The suspect was stopped at Christenbury Gym where he gave a false name. The suspect, a non-student resident of Greenville, had been previously banned from campus. He was arrested and incarcerated at the Pitt County Detention Center. January 22, 1998 Suspicious Person�An officer observed a subject looking in vehicles in the Substation parking lot. The subject was banned from campus. Suspicious Person � An officer observed a subject carrying a bike with an ECU decal across the Reade Street parking lot. Upon stopping the subject, ownership of the bicycle was not confirmed. The subject had been previously banned from campus and Greenville Police had three outstanding warrants. Greenville Police arrested the subject. The bicycle was seized until the owner can be contacted. Pirate Logo continued from page 1 appear at games, it seems that the new pirate is taking his place in the hearts of ECU fans, and the sassy little guy will have to move over a bit. Though he will still appear on some adult clothing, both Brown and Scarborough say that PeeDee will become increasingly targeted at a younger audience, and will be found mostly on children's wear. "I think a lot of people were afraid he would be dismissed, but PeeDee definitely has a purpose on this campus Brown said. Those at the Student Store are hopeful people who have some oaraphernalia with the older logos will want to purchase at least some items with the tougher image. "I think people will want something with the new logo on it even if they don't particularly want to wear it Brown said. In the future the new pirate may prove to be mostly a marketing tool for the university and its fans. For now. PeeDee will still be making people laugh at the football and basketball games and the the grim revamped pirate will hold reign over the merchandising realm. ?riGTS Light Problems continued from page 1 be used at other dark spots on campus, has not yet been decided. There are many things to investigate before an estimate of the time this project will take can be given. The same is true for funding. A suggestion made by Chancellor Eakin to take another walk in the spring was mentioned. The leaf cover then will surely shadow some of these new lights; other alternatives will have to light campus up despite the new, spring leaf coverage.

B�4S1f� Mram. at SM3.B oumew The Student Government Association is gearing up to try out a new experiment to increase student involvement with SGA. The SGA will soon be placing mailboxes in designated spots across campus for the pure intent to have students on campus submit suggestions and ideas to our campus leaders. These mailboxes are intended to give the student body a voice and, with a lot of luck, a very loud voice that will assist the SGA in some way, shape, form or size. The SGA is here to speak for the student body and in order for them to be able to execute this task successfully, they must know what the student body wants. In the past the student body has stood back and watched the SGA without saying a word, but would later complain about the SGA's actions as if they had taken an active role in preventing the outcome. The student body had an excuse for their actions, but they no longer will. These mailboxes will be spread across campus and will be convenient for all students to use. In addition to the SGA mailboxes, there will soon be a campaign labeled "Think 5000 This campaign is designed to increase the amount of students voting in SGA elections. What happened to the good ol days when students were excited about being involved in campus organizations and taking a role in organizations. Those days have apparently long passed us by and the students now sit back without a care in the world, especially what goes on in student government. The most important part of this university is the students and what happens to the students. It is time to stand up and have a voice. The SGA is interested in hearing from all students about any issue that is on your mind. No thought or idea is to small or unimportant. The students have the power to make a change and the process is going to be a whole lot easier with the use of these mailboxes. Think about what you want to say and think hard, but don't think to long the SGA is ready now to take your thoughts and your ideas and put them into action. You can make it happen. OPINION To be beautifuL.or not to be beautiful � 5 i � � Beautiful Girls for some reason, ECU seems to be endowed with more than its fab" share of this particular sect offemale-doml only have one question: Where do these women come from? Are they born this way or do they really have to work at it? We have all seen them. They are : hard to miss: long and leggy, with all : that hair � the kind that is normally found only in Pantene j commercials. They are in the gym in j outfits that would be an �embarrassment to humanity were it tVry body crammed into them instead of theirs. They are Beautiful Girls, and for some reason, ECU seems to be endowed with more than its fair share of this particular sect of fcmale-dom. Don't get me wrong; I don't have 11 fingers or a hump growing out of my back or anything. But the Ford modeling agency isn t exactly beating down my door. And I am not jealous (well, maybe just a little jealous). I only have one question: Where do these women come from? Are they born this way or do they really have to work at it? Granted, when these creatures arc spotted, they are usually at the gym, jogging or doing something cute andsporty during which they never really sweat; they just get those darling little beads of Bcrepitation across their foreheads, ut I speak from personal experience: I have worn my Abs of Steel tape to a thin ribbon trying to get that stomach, andl have come to the conclusion that I was genetically predetermined to have a bit of a I often wonder what the upkeep of beautiful runs. If you factor in the tanning bed visits, the hair and nails (done once every four weeks, of course), a year-round health club membership and all the clothes to show it off in, then I am very glad that I don't have to bear the burden of being beautiful; I would go broke. This, however, is not applicable to those to whom beauty came naturally. These people merely had the good fortune of being bom just as the good looks fairy was passing through. Another observation is that they appear to travel in flocks. This is one theory explaining their overwhelming presence here. Greenville must be a mecca for the beautiful. Was that in the brochure? I must have overlooked that page. Maybe there is a special department in admissions designated to letting in the average-looking just so that students don't suffer from shock upon entering the real world. A more widely supported theory (and I am among those supporters) claims that ECU holds an actual portal to another dimension located in the women's locker room of the Rec Center � a dimension free from gravity, bad hair and celluiite � where all can wear spandex and hatter tops, and cheesecake has only three calories a slice SIGNE PHILADELPHIA DAILY NEWS Philadelphia USA CAfiTOOMSTSiYWITEIWSYNWCATe MptfCanoonWab.com OPINION Marvelle SULLIVAN Don't judge Clinton without facts Concerning the recent allegations against the president, it is my opinion that the American people should not rush to judgment as the media is doing. Almost every form of media is filled with � if not overcome by � President Clinton's newest scandal. The most recent allegation against Clinton and the possible consequence thereof cannot be ignored. It is not too often when a U.S. President's removal from office is seriously considered. Before I continue, I want to state that I am neither a Democrat, not am I a Clinton supporter in any wagg shape, or form � quite to tiler contrary, in fact. The issues I would like to address are based on non- partisan ideals and concepts guided by historical and constitutional principles and common sense. Concerning the recent allegations against the president, it is my opinion that the Amr-ican people should not rush to judgment as the media it doing. My aim in this column h not to critique or evaluate the morals of Clinton or the moral duties of any sitting president but rather to highlight a few points everyone should take into consideration before drawing any conclusion regarding this matter. First, most of the facts of this scandal have been sensationalized by a media in attempt to bring readers, viewers, and hence, money. The media can't be sure definite facts frill draw a crowd, but theydo know scandalous details will. The real issues in this case are mere footnotes to tabloid based stories in newspapers and on television. No one cares if the Lewinsky tapes were legally recorded, logically motivated �or that they even contain truth! Second, Monica Lewinsky denied, under oath, her relations with the President. Then, she said changed her storyand she changed it again. What makes any reasonable person believe this time she'll tell the truth? Of course if she is granted immunity she'll "confess Lewinsky stands to make lots of money, if she denies the affair now, her fijme and hopes of financial rewards will vastly diminish. She has a Sot to lose if she denies the affair. Third, the role the "independent council has taken in diiaKimatcer is very questionable. M the world does Kenneth I of the council) have the fit or promise Lewinsky In fact, why is he or the ' in this issue at all? job is solely Whitewater period. He has definitely overstepped his boundaries. Fourth, we as Americans cannot ignore the domestic and international effects this case is having. Guilty or not, Clinton is still our president, and in accordance, he still has a very important job to do. Iraq is a loose cannon, the pope is in Cuba, the Pacific Rim economy is going down the drain, and analysts are telling us the quality and quantity of social security and education in this country are diminishing rapidly. The U.S. needs to be "on the ball" at home and abroad. Our nation's well-being is hindered because of the massive coverage and focus of this scandal. Of course, if the president committed a crime, he should be punished, but the country shouldn't have to suffer either way. Finally, we are never going to really know what happened beyond a reasonable doubt. Should any president of the United States be impeached and removed for. a he saidshe said story? If Clinton is removed, it .not only effects the presidential institution now but also in years to come. Once again, I'm not trying to pass moral or legal judgment. I just think the public should examine the media's, sensationalism of the- story -the credibility and motrvatirJos bf Lewinsky, the questionable rote the independent council and Kenneth Starr are assuming, the international and domestic effects, and then; come to grips with the likely' possibility the world may never! know" the whole truth � period.

Just about the only way you could not like them would be if you just didn't like jazz. And even then, their live performances, filled with vitality and emotion just might win you over anyway. Carroll Dasheill, the group's director, has managed to maintain a consistency of talent and style over the years, in spite of the ever-changing roster of the group, which is comprised entirely of ECU students. Jaxs Directions It, the second recording of the Jazz Ensemble, features live and studio cuts recorded over the past three years. Quite a few of the musicians on this album, (such as Vaughn Ambrose. Peter Lamb, Mitch Butler, Joe Phillips, Robbie Robinson to name a few) are still in the Jazz Ensemble, and still perform here. SEE JAZZ. PAGE I All That Jazz The Jazz Ensemble will be performing in a number of other shows and events this semester, including: Kfcyou've never seen the award- winning ECU Jazz Ensemble perform live, it's not for lack of effort or talent on their part. This semester the School of Music's department of jazz studies, headed up by Carroll Dashiell, is, once again, busting its butt to bring you, the student, top-quality entertainment for free. Friday night kicks off this semester's Mendenhall Jazz at Night scries, and there's no reason to believe that any momentum has been lost over semester break. Dashiell, keyboardist and director of the Ensemble, is looking forward to a semester full of concerts and myriad opportunities to showcase the talents of his students and fellow members of the ECU School of Music faculty. "It's just great because everyone gets an opportunity to perform in front of their peers he said. Among the featured singers will be Susan Luddeke, who teaches in the ECU School of Art, and freshman Callie Dellano. "It's a good chance to learn a lot more about jazz said Callie, who grew up singing in church. "It's all so new to me Other performers will include Chris Salch on percussion, as well as Bryan Castro and Vaughn Ambrose on sax. Vaughn, who is a graduate teaching assistant for Dashiell, is glad for the chance to perform in Mendenhall. "It really helps the student body be aware of the program established here Electric guitarist Joe Philips enjoys playing in the Mendenhall scries because, Jazz Ensemble blows it. PHOTO COURTESY OF JAZZ ENSEMBLE The music gets the attention. It's not like a club or bar. The audience is there to listen to it The Ensemble divides itself into combos for Jazz at Night with bass, drums and, sometimes, keyboard for backbone. Then solo instruments or various combinations of saxophone, trumpet and trombone are interchanged throughout the evening to give each piece its own special feel. Because no two artists, or groups oi' artists, will perform the same song the same way, combos are important to keeping the mood interesting and giving new life to old favorites. SEE JAZZ ENSEMBLE.

The group presents the word as an anagram, short for Living Off Xperience. But now that that's out of the way, let's get down to business. The group collectively known as The Lox; Jay, Styles and Shcek released their album, Money, Power, and Respect a little earlier this month. After hearing the group perform on Puff Daddy's No Way Out, Mases Harlem World and Mariah Carey's single "Honey word around the area was that the album would not be worth buying. But as the saying goes, To each their own This group from Yonkers, New York actually put together a decent album. Despite what the consumers may say about them, Puffy has an eye for talent, and he probably saw something that not maybe everyone was able to see. The best songs on the album are the ones that include outside performers, such as the track "Money, Power, and Respect which features Junior MAEIAs DMX and the queen bee herself, LiP Kim. Though Kim only performs the intro and the chorus for the song, she provides the crowning touch on this hardcore jam by lending a harder edge than DMX and The Lox can provide. Another sweet track is "Let's Stan Love Over" (which on the CD is titled "Let's Start Rap Over") featuring Carl Thomas. The group tells the story of the evolution of society from the days of street ball and having love for each other to the SEE 10X. PAGES At mtum. erjml mnrr grt t" U r tiv, kit valrm.

Not so distressed, however, that he- can't Tight back. Much of the final third of the film is taken up with a running gun battle between the alien and his survivalist enemies. Leaping from rooftops with a gun in each hand, Allied gives the impression that he'd be right at home in a John Woo action piece. Not fiat Astroesque is that dynamic; though he gives it a good try, there's only so much Allrcd can do with just one camera. When our alien hero isn't busy shooting or running, things slow down and turn metaphysical as we deal with his strange relationship with regular guy Brad (Matthew Brundage). Through flashback and prophetic vision, we get the impression that Brad and the alien arc destined to work together, Mike Allrcd could be considered something of a but, unfortunately, not much comes of their friendship. Renaissance man. Long a successful writer and artist in Brad perhaps grows up a bit, gets shot and briefly the comic book field, the creator of Madman Comics has ponders the nature of God, but all this doesn't actually now branched out to become a screenwriter, director, have incredible impact on his life. Other than the blood actor, musician and singer with his feature-film debut, loss, he doesn't seem much changed at the film's end. Astroesque. This vagueness is Astroesques biggest flaw. I think Just released on video, Astroesque is hardly a big- Allred was going for artistic restraint, and considering Look on the bright side of sex scandal ANDY TURNER LIFESTYLE EDITOR got you faithful budget blockbuster like other comics-related movies I could name Allred made the film with virtually no budget at all, in fact, he used one $499 Russian camera, a digital recorder and a whole bunch of friends willing to work cheap. This kind of ground-level filmmaking leads to some clumsy edits and clumsier acting, but Astroesque has a certain undeniable charm. Even during its more groan inducing moments, couldn't help but like it. The plot concerns a space man (played by Allred himself) who comes to Earth to witness the rebirth of the Son of Cod, but instead runs afoul of a bunch of redneck survivalists. That's right, it's pseudo-religious sci-fi action! The irony, thankfully, isn't lost on the film. Without being too! heavy-handed, Allred turns the unnamed alien (called "The Original" on the box) into a gun-toting Christ figure, quietly Pseudo-religious sci-fi action at its best. PHOTO COURTESY OF MIKE AUREO the limited ability of his actors, that was probably a good idea. But with its heavy metaphysical aspects, the film needs solidly grounded characters for support. Without them, it tends to collapse under the weight of its own flashback-happy lot structure. itill, it is nice to see someone taking chances. Though its reach far extends its grasp at times, Astroesque is a pretty good small film. It's even impressive in places, considering how very low the budget was. Some of the action sequences are quite stylish, and Allred obviously has a good visual sense. The soundtrack, provided by Allred's band Gear, is a bit intrusive in places, but interesting. And, just to round out his renaissance man profile, Allred's also not a bad actor. He at least has a certain strange screen presence, courtesy of his dark good looks and ability to play different moods. He seems just as comfortable in the double-gun-blazing John Woo scenes as he does in the more brooding Jim-Jarmusch-inspired sequences. Of course, in the midst of all the stiff performances in this film, he may look better than he SEE ONES THAT GOT AWAY. PAGES Presidential sex scandal down? Worried that our leader's inability to keep to himself what lurks between those pasty white, Big Mac thighs, waiting like a prize at the bottom of a box of pornographic Cracker Jacks, may cause the United States of America to lose its prestige and position as leader of the free world? Does shame sit heavy in you r stomach like a triple- cheese double-bean burrito? Worry not. Prestige? I got five words: Wayne Newton, United States citizen. Leader of the free world? Who needs the worries? Shame, chmarne. What you should really be thinking about is what you can get out of this scandal. And I'm not talking about standing in front of the White House and selling T-shirts that say, "Clinton, the president after Bush No, what this scandal really allows us as Americans is the ability to get awaywith absolutely anything we want. Think about it. CNN has its scandal erection flaring up like the Washington Monument. Sammy Donaldson can't stop panting. The front pages of newspapers across the country arc covered with incredible insight into the scandal, like how back in junior high Monica Lewinsky use to be called the "Really Big Easy" and how Clinton claims he couldn't have had sex with Lewinsky because he's spent all of his free time lately bathing Janet Reno.

January 29. 1998 i festyle The East Carolinian NCAA Gamebreaker '98 better than average He fears no video game or ham sandwich. He is COUCH Video Game Review NCAA Game breaker '98 7 OUT OF 10 Rich Cornwell STAFF WRITER NCAA Gamebreaker '98 for the Playstation is Sony's latest attempt at college football. Gamebreaker has almost all of the Division I college teams to choose from, including our own ECU Pirates. Gamcbreaker's graphics are fairly average, but each team's stadium is rendered to look like the real thing. The only thing missing from Flcklen was the forever unfinished upper deck Like in most college games, player's names cannot be used and we are left with only numbers and positions. Fortunately, players' numbers match up with the real guys, but when are these college games going to give us the option Jf naming the players ourselves? low many people know that 11 QB for Duke is fifth year senior Tave Green? 1 Aside from this oversite, the player attributes are close to their real life counterparts. Peyton Manning and Ryan Leaf are consistently the best quarterbacks on the game and Charles Woodson has unbelievable speed and quickness. Unfortunately, Marshall was left off the game so Randy Moss will not see his video game debut until next year's NFL titles. The stats are Gamebreaker's strength with the top 100 players being listed in passing, rushing, receiving, sacks, tackles, interceptions, kick returns, punt returns and kicking. The only bad part is that if you don't know players' numbers and positions, you won't know what the leader's real names are. The season report option is a good feature which includes a Top 25 that is updated each week, a player-awards feature that lists the contenders for such awards as the Heisman, running back of the year, Davey O'Brien National QB, receiver of the year, Bronko Nagurski award, lineman of the year and the Jim Thorpe award. At the end of the season, a first and second team Ail-American lineup is chosen comprised of the best players in the simulated season. Another great feature is the ability to play a season that will end in Bowl games or a tournament. Imagine, actually being able to determine a true national champion. The NCAA could learn something from this after the Nebraska- Michigan debacle of this past season. If you are a die hard traditionalist, then most of the big bowl games are included along with a Gold, Silver and Bronze Bowl for the top teams. Gamebreaker offers two types of game controls referred to as beginner and advanced. The beginner controls are similar to a Madden type game while the advanced controls are designed for only the die hard player looking for a challenge. In advanced mode, there are 12 different moves you can do when running, including a double spin move if you can remember that L2 & circle initiates it. Stick with the beginner controls if you care about your sanity and the well being of your game system. Total control passing is another advanced feature which has more practical use. This feature allows you to under or overthrow a ball or throw a lob or a bullet pass. This feature comes in handy when you get a feel for the game. Overall, NCAA Gamebreaker '98 is a better than average football title that could take some getting used to if you are used to Madden style game play. The features are fairly complete, including an option to create players if you feel the need. Since this game is made by PlayStation's in-house company, Sony, they should have access to the latest technology to take advantage of the PlayStation's fullest capabilities. There are some improvements that could be made, such as smoother game play and a player name feature, but that's what Gamebreaker '99 is for. tCofcfafl( 20NE ADVANCE TIX AVAILABLE AT CD ALLEY �SKUUY'S EAST COAST MUSICS, VIDEO WASH PUB � AniC IKE ESMERtYES World's Most Powerful Hypnotist ; I Fri 30' Acoustic Bus Formerly Purple Schoolbusl Sat 31 Beach Musics Number 1 Show Last OunriUc "W Chairmen of the Board $8 Adv. : fix an : Sale Now ADVANCE TIX AVAIIABIE AT CO ALLEY � SKUUY'S EAST COAST MUSIC & VIDEO WASH PUB � ATTIC �IMI�I IIIM January Schedule 30 Fri Acoustic Bus Chairmen of the w Board February Schedule 4 Wed Comedy Zone Q.

Still, he is a high point; Astroesque seems much more interesting when Mike Allred is on the screen. For fans of Allred's comics work, there is another level of enjoyment. All of his trademark obsessions with goofy sci-fi, discordant pacing, weird philosophy and severe facial injury are present here. Nobody eats an eyeball, a la the early Madman Comics, but someone does get their cheek bitten off, and there's a ruptured nostril or two as well. Unfortunately, the most charming aspect of Allred's comics work, his sense of humor, is sorely lacking here. This is one somber film, and the few attempts at humor don't come off very well. Overall, though, Astroesque is a good piece of no-budget filmmaking. If you can overlook some of the obvious flaws caused by lack of money, it's quite an experience. It can be difficult to sit through in places, however, so be warned. If you thought Jackie Brown was slow, you'll probably want to sit this one out. HUNGRY, PIRATE?

Attention JAZZ AT NIGHT Fans Due to the increasing popu- larity of these events, a ticket- ing procedure has been imple- mented, effective with the Fri- day, January 30 performance in the Mendenhall Great Room at 8:00 p.m. Because these events are paid for with stu- dent activity fees, ECU students will receive one ticket free of charge when they present a valid ECU One-Card at the Central Ticket Office- Mendenhall. All other tickets, including ECU faculty and staff, will be $2.50. Advance ticket pick-up purchase is strongly en- couraged. Thanks to all who have sup- ported this program and created a very big success. Co-Sponsored by the ECU School of Music and the ECU Student Union Special Events Committee Jazz Ensemble continued from page 7 The musicians rarely have any idea about what pieces they will be performing, and with what combo, until the sound check the day of the performance. This kind of arrangement leaves little room for rehearsal, but a lot of room for spontaneity. "You can't think about it too much Callie mused. "You just kind of go with it Tickets are also available for the only other JAZZ AT NIGHT scheduled for Spring '98 - Friday, March 6. "The combo format isccntered on the individuals said Joe. "That's an important thing about jazz that you don't find in other music Mitch Butler, trombonist, enjoys being able to "expose the listener to straight-ahead jazz He thinks it's important that people at least give jazz a chance, even if they find that they don't particularly like it. "This is American music he declared. "It's unique; it doesn't copy anything Like Butler, any of the cats will tell you that jazz is the first original American art form. This will be the first Jazz at Night since the release of the Ensemble's new CD entitled Jazz Directions 2-1997, which features guest artists Bob Mintzer on saxophone and vocalist Vanessa Rubin. It will be available for order or purchase at the show. Tickets will be required for admission, and any student with a valid student ID can pick one up at the central ticket office. Admission for non-students is now $2.50 and can be purchased there as well or at the door. JAZZ continued from page 7 Almost all of the songs on this album are standards; the play list is heavy with big band and swing numbers. There arc four Duke Ellington numbers and a Count Basic song. In all of these, the Ensemble is in top notch form. "Caravan with Robbie Robinson's sublime trombone solo and Jesus Nieves' brilliant percussion licks, is especially good. Then there's the funky "Dangerous Precedent Ed Combs' guitar work is excellent and again, Jesus Nieves delivers some out-of-sight percussion. All of the live tracks are beyond words really. Knowing these cats attend ECU actually puts some school spirit into the old heart. It gives a guy something to be proud of. One of the few modern pieces on the record is "New Rochelle which Bob Mintzer of the Ycllowjackets wrote for the Ensemble. This recording featured here is actually the premiere performance of the song, which is a treat in and of itself, but as an added bonus, faculty member Paul Tardiff lays down a cool, clean piano solo that is oh so tasty. Of the studio cuts, Count Basie's "April in Raris" shows the Ensemble in top form. "Moonlight in Vermont" is a hoppin' little dish served hot with a fiery sax solo straight from the sax chef himself, Vaughn Ambrose. The album closes out with two Ellington songs, "Cottontail which again features Tardiff, as well as some outstanding solos by the students, and a smooth vocal number, "In a Sentimental Mood Jazz Direction II is a veritable triumph for Dasheill and crew, all of whom showcase their talent and love of jazz brilliantly on this record. Definitely a must-have for LOX continued from page 7 days of playa' hatin jealousy and shootouts. Carl Thomas provides a mellow overtone to the song singing the chorus, which adds nicely to a sentimental song. These are just a couple of examples of what's good about The Lox. But the fleas come with the dog. The groups first single, "If You Think I'm Jiggy was a bad choice to be the song to promote the album. The chorus itself, which is a rip-off of Rod Stewart's "If You Think I'm Sexy is enough to turn you off without having to listen to the song, which doesnt follow the style of a Bad Boy parry jam. Maybe if you're forced to hear it enough times, you'll be desensitized to it. Otherwise, flip past the track But there's a track worse than that entitled "Get This Money Everything about the song sucks, whether it is the lyrics, which sounds like a bad freestyle, or the beat, which is too slow for the style of flow. Overall, Matey, Paver, and Raped isn't a terrible CD; the group just needs fine-tuning. Sometimes, the group sounds like they forgot the words and came up with something, anything, to avoid embarrassment. If they perfect their style (better lyrics and a smoother flow), they'll be able to take the music world by storm if they release a second album. But as for this album, which has some good tracks, some bad tracks, some cool interludes, yet another installment of the Mad Rapper series and a dedication to the late Bad Boy blue chipper, Notorious B.I.G. it is worth buying.

January 29, 1998 sports The East Carolinian Special talent waivers help athletic program Opportunities provided for those denied admission Jason Thuringer STAFF WHITER So you want to be a Pirate? You've got tons of talent, but your high school GPA and SAT scores just don't add up to the sum of a letter of acceptance. What do you da' A special talent waiver is rite answer for many ECU students. "There is a special admissions process for individuals with special talents said Dr. Tom Powell, director of admissions. That special admissions process includes a special talent waiver. Students who apply to ECU but are denied acceptance at first try are eligible. Not ail applicants go through this process and it is not exclusively by the athletic department. "If the orchestra needs an oboe player, ten it is my job to help that oboe player get into ECU Powell said. The special talent waiver is for applicants who have special talents, usually in music, an, theater, dance or sports, above those of the average applicant. To be admitted on a special talent waiver, a faculty member must petition for admission to the Dean, who will then forward the request to Dr. Powell. Athletes petitioned in must still meet the standards set forth by the NCAA, conference and university before they are eligible to participate in their sport. This can be such a complicated procedure that the athletic department has a full-time staff person to ensure that ail athletes stay within the eligibility requirements. Once a student is accepted on the waiver he or she is assigned to the academic transition program (ATP). 3TP is a program designed to give students who have had poor academic performance in high school a solid base for success in college said Gene Owens, ATP director. The one-year program consists of tutorials, supplemental instruction, the writing center and other academic support. These services are available to all ECU students who seek them. A student without a waiver may be admitted to the ATR "Many of the 250 to 300 ATP slots are students who had weak SAT or ACT scores, but still have shown an ability to perform in high school Owens said. Getting accepted into ECU does not automatically mean that a student will graduate with degree. IPEDS (Integrated Post-Secondary Education Data System), a division of the federal Department of Education, allows for six academic years to complete a four-year degree to be considered for on-time graduation. With 2338 first time freshman students enrolling in academic year 1991 and 1,125 of those receiving degrees from ECU in academic year 1996 or earlier, ECU's most recent graduation rate is 48.1 percent. These figures do not account for students who transfer to and graduate from other universities. Using the same time period, athletes who received athletic-based financial aid had a graduation rate of 58.3 percent. Basketball spirits lifted with CM conference win Did they graduate on time?

After coming up short in the last two conference games against Virginia Commonwealth and CAA rival UNC-Wilmington, the Pirates made the most of their open weekend and came back strong to down ODU 85-71. Last year, the two schools split their regular season games, with each winning at home. Wednesday's contest marked the 36th meeting in the history of the series. ECU was first to put points on the board with a iayup by senior Dink Peters. Two three-pointers from Tony Parham and one more from freshman Vinny Sharpe, along with six out of eight good shots from the foul line gave the Pirates an eight point lead at the half, 31- 24. "We have been playing in practice as hard as we play in games, and it helped us tonight Peters said. Othello Meadows started the second half off on a strong note for the Pirates with a Iayup and a jump shot in the first minute of play. The Monarchs added their first points of the second half when junior Mark Poag sent in Ms third three-point field goal of the game at the 17 minute mark. It wasn't long before Meadows took control of the ball once again to send in a three-pointer in return. The Pirates caught on fire for the remainder of the game, shooting 82 percent from the foul line and 52 percent from the floor in the second period to claim a 85- 71 victory. "It was a tough fight Peters said. "We just wanted to win more and we were more determined. We stuck together as a team and we are going to keep sticking together as a team "We came out and played with a lot of emotion Parham said. "We played smart, and that is something we have not been doing lately. Our focus was to play a full 40 minutes The only time in the entire game ODU held the lead was at the 7:09 mark in the first half, when Brion Dunlap sent in a three- pointer to gain a one o i n t io narch lead. Thirty seconds later, Parham went to the line for two good shots to regain control and a lead to last for the rest of the game. Parham led the Pirates with 22 points, while Sharpe, Raphael Edwards, and Meadows also scored in double digits with 15,14, and 12 respectively. Both Parham and Sharpe posted career and season highs with their performances, while J.J- McQueen put his first points ever on the board with a slam dunk in the final minute of the game. M Vinny Sharpe scored a career high and led his team with 15 points in Wednesday's victory over Old Dominion. PHOTO St ADAM O41P0HTO Sharpe's highest point total was only seven prior to his performance against the Monarchs. "I basically just took what the defense gave me Sharpe said. "Whenever I was open 1 took a shot because the coach had me out on the court and I had to do my job O 1 d Dominion's head coach Jeff Cape! said his team did not respond as they arc capable of. "ECU was very aggressive offensively and defensively and we did not respond to that Capel said. "They were very physical and we seemed scared to get hit. We just were not aggressive at all taking the ball to the basket and getting to the free throw line ECU is now 7-0 this season when scoring 70 or more points, with such wins coming in from the games against St. Joseph's, Ferrum, Campbell, James Madison, Liberty, Richmond, and of course, Old Dominion. With the win, the Pirates improved their record to 8-10; 3-5 in the CAA The Pirates will have a week- long break before their next game, Monday at home against George Mason. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. Pure Gold Dancers ranked ninth in the nation competition Paul Kaplan SENIOR WRITER Basketball fans who do not run out to the concession stand at halfrime for a soft pretzel and some mustard may have noticed the ECU Pure Gold Dancers, For those behind on dancing and cheering rankings, the Pure Gold Dancers are currently ranked ninth in the nation behind many big names schools like UNC, BYU and Cincinnati, just to name a few. "We are ranked ninth in the nation, and not too many people realize that Co-Captain Pam Hines said. "We really don't get much recognition The Pure Gold Dancers are led by Head Coach Amy Graham and Co-Captains Hines and Tia Tucker. The Pure Gold Dancers are by no means a group of veterans; they are made up primirilf'of freshmen and sophomores. "This is the strongest team we have had in a while Graham said. There is a high talent level and all the giro work well together, in practice things seem to move real fast, there are a lot of good performers "Freshmen usually have trouble with practices and being on their own for the first time Graham said. "But they have not had any trouble keeping their priorities straight The dance team, like all the other athletes on campus, have a strenuous practice schedule. Three days a week they have a weight workout and between four and six days a week they have a two hour night practice. This April the Pure Gold Dancers will be taking their show to Daytona, Florida and showing their stuff in front of the National Dance Association- The Pure Gold Dancers practice four to six days a week for two hours each day PHOTO BV ADAM DALPORT0 National Cheerieading Association Competition.

The dancers arc contenders for a top five ranking at the competition in April and they also volunteer their time with the Junior Pro Team. The Junior Pro Team is made up of 16 girls from seven years old to 15 years old. "We coach them every other Sunday and teach them dancing techniques and also things like character development Tucker said. "They are all really sweet and they really look up to us So next time you are at a home basketball game and the teams head to the locker room at halftime, stick around and take a look at the Pure Gold Dancers. The Pure Gold Dancers are led by Head Coach Amy Graham and Co-Ciptaiw Pam tines and Tia Tucker. The Pure Gold Dancers are by no means a group of veterans, they are made up primarily of freshmen and sophomores.

January 29. 1998 sports Tha Eait Carolinian Athletic department answers questions about new logos Student reactions primarily positive Travis Barkley STAFF WRITER When students returned to campus from Christmas break, many were surprised to learn that ECU had unveiled new logos and a bold new image. While the reaction to the new designs has mainly been positive, there has been some confusion regarding the development of the new logos as well as the future of Pee Dee and the older markings. "Pee Dec will still be the mascot at games, and the old designs will still be used said Lee Workman, assistant athletic director and director of special events. "The new designs give the university a full series of marks that tie together. They allow for a new marketing approach, and allow merchandisers to have more options and greater creativity When asked if students were ever considered to design the new logos, Workman said that students were consulted informally, but that the School of Art was never considered to design the logos. "Students were asked for feedback along with alumni, faculty and other groups Workman said. Many students wanted to know why the logos were introduced while most students were out of town. Workman explained that the logos were unveiled to coincide with the start of conference basketball play at home. "We wanted to have it for the students as they were coming back Workman said. Although most of the students who were asked liked the new designs, nearly all agreed that Pee Dee should be kept as well. Graduate student Andrew DiGiovanni said he "wouldn't get rid of Pec Dee but called the change "a step into the future He also said that at first the logos "may appear unpopular, but given time they will seem more acceptable. Imagine what people thought of Pee Dee when he was introduced Senior chemistry major Chris Washburn wasn't thrilled about the new logos at first, but said, "Maybe it was a move we needed to make. Other schools in the state and around the country have changed, so I think it was a good move overall In addition to keeping Pee Dee, several students suggested using the wild, shirtless Pirate mascot of the early 1960's. "He would definitely scare the opposition DiGiovanni said. Baseball continued from page 10 transferred to ECU because he wanted to start and also felt that ECU had a good program he could contribute to. "I knew ECU had a solid program and I just wanted to come in and help out the team as much as I could, Fields said. Academically, Fields is an economics major who hopes to further his career as an athlete as well as continue his education in graduate school. Last year he was drafte y the Milwaukee Brewers and hopes to be picked up again this year by a professional team. Rr now, ECU baseball is what he is concentrating on. "With the team we have returning and the new coaching staff we should really be able to improve on last year Fields said. "Coach LeClair wants us to play an aggressive style of baseball emphasizing speed and execution. Once we get the pitcher rotation down after a couple of games we should be able to have a strong season Rigsby is another team leader hoping to do his part. In his third year as a starter, he will be posted at first base. An outfielder from Goldsboro, he started playing baseball at the age of eight with friends he grew up with. After attending Eastern Wayne High School, Rigsby decided to bring his talent to ECU. "in high school I heard about the baseball tradition at ECU Rigsby said. "I also felt I had a chance to play here and it was still pretty close to home Rigsby is a decision sciences major. He too would like to continue playing baseball after college, but his primary goal is to finish school. Rigsby is excited about the upcoming season under the direction of a new coaching staff led by Head Coach Keith LeClair. "The new staff really brings in a change of attitude to the team that the players feel real good about Rigsby said. Rigsby feels he can contribute much to the team's success this season. "My biggest attributes are my hitting and my experience I have as a three year starter Rigsby said. Under the new coaching staff and with returning players like Fields and Rigsby, the baseball team can look to improve and bring the CAA championship title home to Greenville.

Thousands of Broncos fans have snapped up T-shirts and caps that featured the words Super Bowl, champ and champions. Gart Sports stores sold more than 100,000 T-shirts by midday Monday. People were waiting outside Sears stores when they opened Monday morning. "It's unbelievable. The first place everyone went was to buy the shirts said Cathy Zach, manager of the Sears store in the Wcstland Center in Lakewood. The locker room T-shirt, which is identical to the one the Broncos players wore during interviews after the Super Bowl, cost $22.95. It was the most popular apparel item among consumers, retailers say Nike Tour Money Leaders PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla.
