THURSDAY FEBRUARY 19, 1998 EAST CAROLINA UNIVERSITY GREENVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA Dean faces sexual harassment suit Spriersformer assistant files complaint Hoi.Li Harris 4SSISTAN1 NEWS � ' � 1 I 11 R A former office assistant to Dean of Students Ronald Speier filed a suit claiming she was sexually harassed by Speier during the length of her position in his office. Lauren Mayo claims Speier made sexually suggestive remarks, touched and kissed her in a sexual manner, and forced her to engage in oral sex with him in a complaint she filed Monday in the Pitt County Superior Court. Speier denies Mavo's allegations. Speier and university officials say- that an internal investigation was done after Mavo's initial allegations, and that Speier was cleared of all accusations. "The university is familiar with the allegations, the allegations were brought to the attention of the university by Ms. Mayo, a through investigation was done, and at the conclusion of that investigation no action was take against Dr. Speier said university attorney Fkn Irons II. "There was a university investigation, and there was no basis for the allegations, and I was cleared Speier said. Irons said he had not been served papers regarding the lawsuit yet. and could not comment alxiut the case until he had the proper documents. "It's my understanding that a suit has been filed; the university is normally served through me, but I have not been served vet Irons said. After the universirv investigation was complete. Mayo was relocated from Speier' s office to programs assistant for Kastern Area Health Education Center at the School of "There tens a university investigation, and there was no basis for the allegations, and I was cleared Ronald Speier Medicine. According to Irons her position was terminated on March 4. 1997, but had no relation to the problems between the two. Mayo has named E I . its b of trustees of East Carolina University, Chancellor Richard Eakin, the University of North Carolina board o( trustees and Speiet as defendants in the lawsuit. "My client doesn't have an comment and 1 have no comment said Steven Fisher. Mavo's attorney.

Despite the fact that most women won't let a stranger into the dorms, an experiment conducted by TEC illustrated rhat anyone may still be able to walk into the residence halls because many residents do not close doors behind them. Some were found to hold doors open for strangers. Two male students were sent to Cotten and Creene Halls, both all female residences, to monitor the number of times they could get in with a simple lie: "My girlfriend lives on the second floor and I've forgotten the phone number; could you please walk me up?" It that measure failed they attempted to simply tail someone into the residence hall. The first male : .dent participant. Derrick Reid. walked up to a Greene resident entering the building and told her the story about his supposed girlfriend on the second floor She let him in. "I was going to walk him up and then if she wasn't there. I was going to walk him back down said the resident who let Reid in. University officials say letting anvone into the building whom you do not know is putting other residents in danger. "We've done quite a bit of programming in the halls and we will continue to do that, but it's the residents that are ultimately iivi t� I'ic f. :l attention t i what's going on; ultimately, it's up to them said Wayne Parsons, coordinator of Cotten and lleming halls. The good news is Reid couldn't get anyone else to let him into the building. No one else fell for his charm or his lie at Cotten or Creene. "1 think people need to start caring what's going on around here said a resident of Cotten Hall who refused to let Reid in and who shut the door behind herself "Because of everything that's going on we're freaked out we might as well start changing However, our next male student. Bobby Tugglc, had better luck gaining access. He walked in behind residents twice at Creene and four times at Cotten Hall. None of the women who had inadvertently let him in noticed that he had entered behind them. When he continued walking past one group of girls, into the inner area of Cotten Hall, they didn't stop him. Though both girls said thev would have called their RA later, they admitted that Tugglc could have already been on another hall or upstairs.

The common goal of the EEO and the Office of Admissions is to have a diverse population i o choose from and then to choose the most qualified applicant from that population. They claim there is no preferential treatment and only the most qualified person is hired or admitted into the university. "That might violate other people's rights, and it s illegal. Rose said. "We just want to make- sure that the applicant pool is good ECU'S Office of Undergraduate Admissions agrees with this policy.

A recent study at the University of California-Berkeley showed that squirrels have far better memories than humans do, burying food for the winter in hundreds of different sites. Later the squirrels dig up the food in order to have enough for the cold months. The study found that humans, given the same situation, would only be able to remember the locations of six or seven burial places. But good memories don't make for good health. Paul Fusco, a receptionist at the University of Minnesota's Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, said squirrels are the No. 2 or No. 3 animal they see. "Usually the most common thing is for squirrels to be injured by pets Fusco said. He also said the employees at the center recommend that people don't feed the squirrels because he has found they are the most likely animal to bite people. According to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, the 1997 gray and fox squirrel hunting season began Sept. 13 and ends Feb. 28. But aggravated students shouldn't be running for their guns quite yet. Students on campus have differing views on the squirrel population. Both Candy Ashbach, a UM senior in psychology, and Mark Bowmer, a UM junior in psychology, have had close encounters of the squirrel kind. "I think they're a nuisance Bowmer said.

If the patient answers positively to any of these questions they are also placed in the program. The next step is to separate the people randomly into a controlled and an experimental group. Those who are placed in the controlled group will be treated at the Emergency Department and then released. Those who are in the experimental group, however, will be treated and then allowed to make their own appointment at an alcoholic treatment facility for counseling. In about three to six months the researchers call the participants of the project and do a follow-up. Questions such as "have you been involved in any other alcohol-related accidents? "have you received any DUIs recently? and "have you been arrested for drunk driving?" are asked. To those who were in the experimental group the additional question of whether they kept their counseling appointment is asked. All of this data is kept and calculated at the Highway Institute in Chapel Hill. The ECIPP is hoping to reduce drunk driving fatalities through education and counseling.

TWEAK stands for Tolerance� how many drinks one can consume before passing out; Worried�are you and your loved ones worried about your drinking; Eye Opener�must you have a drink in the morning to get yourself going; Amnesia�do you forget what you do the night before on account of drinking; and Cut (K takes the place of C it this .case)�do you find yourself trying to cut back on your alcohol consumption. If the patient answers positively to any of these questions they are also placed in the program. The next step is to separate the people randomly into a controlled and an experimental group. Those who are placed in the controlled group will be treated at the Emergency Department and then released. Those who are in the experimental group, however, will be treated and then allowed to make their own appointment at an alcoholic treatment facility for counseling. In about three to six months the researchers call the participants of the project and do a follow-up. Questions such as "have you been involved in any other alcohol-related accidents? "have you received any DUIs recently? and "have you been arrested for drunk driving?" are asked. Clay named compliance officer for med schooL Position regulates rules, documentation for billing euzabfth Rack staff winter Dr. Thomas H. Clay, assistant professor of psychiatric medicine at the School of Medicine, was recently named compliance officer for the medical school. A compliance officer is in charge of ensuring that faculty and staff are adhering to rules and regulations regarding documentation and billing of medical services. "Official compliance offices are relatively new in health care and are happening all over the country Clay said. "The school administration decided it needed to set up a formal compliance operation Initially, Clay and the staff chosen are going to write a compliance plan, which is policies and procedures for the school. "We will also engage in the education of faculty and staff in ways to improve the ease with which people are able to document what they arc doing Clay said. After James Hallock, the Dean of the School of Medicine, decided to implement the plan, he wrote a general job description and advertised the position, which Clay applied for. "Dr. Clay has great talent and a good understanding of the directions we need to take said Hallock in a press release regarding Clay's new position. "I look for him to make significant contributions in the area of compliance and quality service According to Clay, the School of Medicine is still deciding whether to put together an internal staff or to use outside consultants to comprise the rest of the staff. They plan to add two full-time auditors, a manager and a secretary to the staff. The office should be fully operational by the end of the current academic year. Clay will be spending half his time on this new position and the other half continuing his practice in child psychiatry. etn�� Stop the Killer "B ECU Student Health Service is offering vaccinations to protect you against a serious illness called Hepatitis "B" Three dose complete series: 0,1,6 months How Much?

Catholics and Protestants, former military and intelligence officers, longtime anti-war groups and Arab Americans say air attacks would do little more than kill Iraqis. Opponents are scattered across the political spectrum. Some insist the bombing wouldn't go far enough, including conservative Republicans on Capitol Hill who believe the ultimate goal should be to remove Saddam Hussein from power. Others fear a U.S. attack would go too far, killing thousands of innocent Iraqi civilians, destroying Mideast peace efforts, and bypassing Congress in making war on another nation � all to punish the Iraqi president. Representative Lee Hamilton, one of the capital's most respected foreign affairs voices, said he backs Clinton's Iraqi policy but doesn't think force would diminish the threat of Iraq's weapons or its ability to threaten its neighbors. "The administration, I think, has a very heavy responsibility now to articulate with very great firecision what our purposes are in raq Hamilton told Secretary of State Madeleine Albright. To bolster support. President Clinton plans a speech Tuesday at Department of Defense headquarters to make the case for why the United States may launch air strikes on suspected sites for making chemical, biological and nuclear weapons in Iraq, which Saddam has ruled off limits to U.N. inspectors. His foreign policy team will hold town hall meetings this week in Ohio and Tennessee, too. The one thing bombing opponents and proponents have in common with Clinton is abhorrence of Saddam, who had agreed after the 1991 Persian Gulf War to allow U.N. inspections to ensure he didn't rebuild his nonconventional war machine. Those feelings initially translated into strong congressional support for Clinton. But support wavered last week, with lawmakers raising questions about what an airstrike could accomplish and at what cost. A supportive resolution was put off until Congress returns from a break next week. A few members of Congress strongly oppose Clinton's Iraq policy. Representative Ron Paul, a conservative, last week introduced emergency legislation to stop Clinton from using force in the Gulf. "There is absolutely no moral or constitutional reason to go to war with Iraq at this time said Paul, a former U.S. Air Force flight surgeon.

BI6M3S3. Fa mu�. at�J2U3B1 M- on o: oumcw With increased safety concerns due to the recent rape phenomena, attention is being paid more and more to various safety precautions and practices to ensure fewer rapes and assaults. The obvious safety practices, of course, are the buddy system, late-night escorts, mace, pepper spray, tazer guns, vicious attack dogs, personal bodyguards, just saying "no" and being male, but one safety practice in particular apparently needs reiterating. Back in 1993, the residence halls implemented a 24-hour locking system that made it impossible for nonresidents to enter unescorted. Before this safety measure, anybody who wanted to could traipse freely through the halls of the dorms, thieving, raping, pillaging, conquering and such, and these things did come to pass. It wasn't nice. Students weren't the only ones freely roaming throughout other people's residences. The occasional homeless person was found showering at his leisure from time to time. Nowadays, even after the onset of this safety measure, people still enter the dorms uninvited and walk about unescorted. This only happens because residents allow it to happen. Residents hold the door for people after they've unlocked it and in go the strangers, free to roam about and wreak havoc and disaster, steal your stereos and play stations or get your sisters pregnant. That's really bad. As campus residents, we have an obligation to uphold the practice of escorting our guests and leaving the strays on the stoop. Ladies especially need to tighten up their observation of the 24-hour locks. Too many sisters, girlfriends, nieces, daughters etc. have been mistreated by intruders for us to continue this negligence. These are some things you ought to be aware of as you go to enter your dorms: loiterers, the people who hang around the courtesy phones as if an escort is on the way, and enter once you've got the door open; saunterers, who pace around the dorms at a safe distance, waiting to calmly follow a resident inside as if being escorted; Mad Dashers, those who bodily fling themselves up the porch stairs to catch the auto-locking door before it shuts (mad dashers are the worst of the three because you don't always see them until they're already inside, kind of like cancer). Exercise tact in these situations. Learn some high kicks and a few intimidating threats. if you notice somebody waiting by an entrance for a resident to open the door, find another entrance. If you happen to be followed up to your door, ask the follower what business is to be had at your residence. Try, maybe, slipping in the door quickly so it'll shut faster. It's doubtful that the residence halls will feature loud, droning intruder alerts in the future (which would be cool because we'd probably all get guns), but it's reasonable to expect the next step might be 24-hour police surveillance posted beside a single main entrance just like Halloween. And really, the thoughr of having to present your OneCard and prove your residence each time you enter and exit while signing your guests in and out just doesn't seem very homey. Be smart. Make people wait for their escorts. LETTER to the Editor Consider rape punishment carefully Although I usually enjoy Britt Honeycutt's columns, I feel I must respond to her Feb. 17 article concerning castration for rapists. First, before I go any further, I must state that I in no way condone or feel a need to protect rapists. I won't pretend to know what the ultimate punishment for a rapist should be, so therefore, I will not attempt to state a fair punishment. What 1 do feel the need to address is the rights of the wrongly accused. Believe it or not, there are individuals who are not only falsely accused of rape, but also wrongly convicted. Well, you may say that there are a small percentage, but believe me, for those individuals it would be a catastrophic mistake. Britt, you say you don't believe in capital punishment, but, like capital punishment, once castration is done, it is done. There is no turning back. So, what do we tell the wrongly convicted? Oops, we're sorry, our mistake, now go on with your life and, by the way, here's some money to compensate for your suffering. Also in my reasoning, I would like you to understand that there are women who falsely accuse men of rape to get even with them. If castration were the sentence, to them, this would be the ultimate revenge. Just think of a young college couple. After going out, they have sex, then he tells her, "I don't want to see you anymore. I'm sleeping with your best friend She is angry and goes to the police and cries date rape. Do we castrate him? Also, let me ask you this: Do we castrate Mike Tyson because he was convicted of rape, but not castrate William Kennedy Smith because he beat the rap? And finally, you speak of women having Emergency Home Castration Kits. Did it ever occur to you that there is a possibility that some women may misuse this technology? Before I go, I would like to set the record straight; castration is not the removal of the penis, but the removal of the testicles. If there are some that insist on castration, then chemical castration may be an option to consider. Under a doctor's supervision, medroxyprogesterone acetate (depo provera) could be administered to a convicted rapist; this would bring the testosterone level to almost nothing, which would be the equivalent of castration. Again, let me say that I feel rape is a horrific crime, but I also feel that a greater crime would be the mistaken castration of an innocent individual. Cleo A. Brooks, Jr. Freshman Non-traditional student � wiii mi OPINION IVIarvelle SULLIVAN Columnist Tobacco industry wrongly accused The tobacco companies have suffered enough, and their rights have been completely infringed upon. Whether or not they are in the right or in the wrong, there has to be a cap on the lawsuits and the money being doled out to any "victim " of smoking. Tobacco companies have undergone the most scrutiny and financial loss of any manufacturer in recent history. The controversies extend beyond legal parameters into questions on the moral responsibilities of companies to consumers. Since America tends to be hazy on morals, the debates continue into an indefinite black hole. It has been established that cigarettes are bad for a smoker's (and in some cases, a non- smoker's) general health. So, to discourage people from hurting themselves, the president has pushed and legislators have passed laws to deter the use of cigarettes by raising the tobacco tax, limiting smoking areas, banning cigarette vending machines and enforcing the policy that prohibits minors from buying tobacco products. The attempts to dissuade smoking are well-intended, and in an ideal world they might actually work. Our world though, is far from ideal so wc need to use realistic solutions to solve the problems that face us�assuming smoking is one of them. Raising the taxes on tobacco doesn't bring its intended result. Instead, it destroys our local and national economies and increases the production and sale of cigarettes by foreign manufacturers who have less regulation and disclosure responsibilities than America. It would be foolish these days to deny the detrimental effects of smoking. It's right on the package � no secrets � it's in black and white. So why are people suing for something they did to themselves in full knowledge of the risks? Why punish the tobacco companies? The smokers played Russian Roulette with their health and lost. Instead of admitting personal fault, they have decided to clog the legal system with their obvious admittance of sheer stupidity. The tobacco companies have suffered enough, and their rights have been completely infringed upon. Whether or not they are in the right or in the wrong, there has to be a cap on the lawsuits and the money being doled out to any "victim" of smoking. If that wasn't enough, the censorship of tobacco advertising is a blatant violation of the first amendment. It doesn't matter what they want to print or televise they have the right to do it. That is not a new concept. The government has obviously overextended its role and allowed the madness to escalate. Our government was founded on the ideals in The Second TreOise of Civil Government written by John Locke in 1689. In this treatise, he states the only duty of government is to protect citizens from force or fraud by other individuals or institutions. Did the tobacco companies force anyone to smoke? No. Did tobacco companies defraud the consumers? No. Yet, tobacco companies are being forced to pay for others mistakes. Smoking is not the first and foremost social or moral ill of our society yet it is being treated as if it were the Black Plague. Tobacco has obvious downsides in which we are all aware. Stifling smoking in America is virtually impossible. If the threat of death doesn't discourage smoking than I seriously doubt the measures now imposed will have any marked effect. It is the responsibility of the individual � not the government to decide what should be inhaled. OPINION Jeff BERGMAN Columnist Crime on the rise around campus Crime is inevitable; I just do not want it on my front door Thirty minutes of waiting is a long time to wonder what would have happened if you lived in a nicer neighborhood. Would the police respond quicker? According to the incumbents in last years city council elections, crime was down. According to real facts, crime went up in 1997. The statistics do not tell us where the crimes were occurring. Where the crime is happening is more important to me than how much. If burglaries are happening across town, sure I am concerned, but not as much as if it happened down the street. I have started to notice a trend. Every time I pick up the paper, whether it is 7" East Carolinian or The Greenville Reflector, crime reports for the area surrounding ECU appear to be on the rise. Let me point out crime 'appears' to be on the rise. I do not have enough time to sift through years of police reports, place the crimes on a map and see if the rates of burglaries, muggings, etc. have actually increased. I am concerned about crime because one of my friends was lucky enough not to get hit by flying bullets. Crime is inevitable; I just do not want it on my front door. A few blocks from where a good majority of students and I live, a drive-by shooting took place. Scary for myself; even scarier for the individuals involved. Shots ring out. Bullets through your front door. You duck behind the recliner that you had never thought of as a shield. What was once a very cas' gathering of people has no? turned into a news story. You ho the story does not include words 'tragedy' and 'murder. You are extremely concerned after the apartment has suddenF picked up a few more holes, being the concerned citizen you areyou dial 911. The police, often seen as the enemy, are now your only true friend. You call. You wait, rou call back. You wait some more. The guy comes back. More shots through the front door. You call, AGAIN. You wait again. Finally nearly thirty-five minutes after your first phone call to them, the police decide to make an appearance. Thirty minutes, a long time to have your life flash before your eyes. Thirty minutes, time to wonder it the guy will come back for a third time Thirty minutes, to wonder what would ha" happened if you lived in a ni (more money) neighborhood Would the police respond a lot quicker?

"Folk" musicians are notorious for it. Just ask Bob Dylan. Like Dylan, Ani DiFranco is a consummate lyricist; like Dylan, she wavers back and forth between protest songs and more intimate explorations. Little Plastic Castle is DiFranco's first studio album in several years. Her last album, Living in Clip, a two- disc live set, showcased DiFranc in her strongest element: her live performances. That album glistened with spiritual, energetic performances tinged with the strange psychosis of the young, talented and suburban. DiFranco has often commented that she's never been happy with her studio albums, hence the live album. living in Clip brought DiFranco much critical and media attention; she toured with Dylan, made appearances on Conan O'Brien and PBS's Sessions on 54th St. After an act like that, IJttle Plastir Castle has large shoes to fill. For the most part, it fills them well, but the sharp contrast between Living in Clip and Little Plastic Castle is all too apparent at times.

Produced and mixed by famed R.E.M. producer Mitch Easter at his Kernersville studio, The Fidelitorium, Darkling is the group's first effort for Chapel Hill indie label Yep-Roc Records. Opry Fried Hank released Mercury Dime's acclaimed 1996 debut. You don't have to get too far into Darkling taken from Keats' "Ode To a Nightingale to realize Easter's influence on the band. That "R.E.M. jangle" he captured to perfection on the boys from Athens' early efforts is heard throughout. And then there's the voice of lead singer and pianist Cliff Retallick. It's a dead ringer for of Mikey Stipe. You know, that nasal voice that sounds like he's pinching his nose to go under water for a quick swim. It's a great voice, perfect for sounding theatrical and powerfully dead serious when singing incoherent lyrics. You, the listener, are left thinking, "I don't know what the hell Stipe just sang, hut by the sound of his voice, it sure must be durned meaningful Retallick, who wrote the lyrics for all the album's songs, sometimes strays (unsuccessfully) into Stipe territory with his verbiage as well.

Motherhood becomes mixed up with ownership rights, children's best interests are disregarded, and while society tries to convince itself that the "ioving option" brings the most beneficial outcome at all times, such is not always the case. Professor Margot Gayle Backus of St. John Fisher College in Rochester, New York, will address the delicate personal issues of adoption during her guest lecture on Monday, February 23. The presentation, entitled "I'm your mother; she was a carrying case is based on Backus' interpretation of Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, a novel by contemporary British novelist Jeanette Winterson. The novel is a semi- autobiographical tale of a girl whose adoptive mother is a harsh Pentecostal Evangelical Christian, and the lecture's title is actually a statement she makes in the book. Backus' experiences as the adopted child of dysfunctional parents gave her a keen connection to the story, and her desire is that more people realize "the way society thinks about children, about childhoodthe narratives, the stories we tell each other in this society according to ECU English professor Dr. Lillian Robinson. Backus believes that one of the major problems with adoption is that the placement of children in particular families which are determined by society to be "good families" is often accorded deeper significance and importance than the actual well-being of the adopted children. Cited as victims of the judicial rulings based on such ancient stereotypes are a gav male couple forced to give up their adopted child in 1980. Consequently, Backus calls for a reshaping of traditional views of "natural" and "normal" families in relation to adoption and fosterage. She wants to encourage thought about familial placements and the consequences on the children who live with adoptive parents. Backus, who received her Ph.D. in English from the University of Texas, has published on several feminist and literary topics in journals such as Cultural Studies, Victorian Literature and Culture, SIGNS: Journal of Women in Culture and Society, Journal of Homosexuality and The Canadian Review of Comparative Literature. Her forthcoming book, The Gothic Family Romance: Compulsory Heterosexuality in the Anglo-Irish Settler Colonial Order, will be published by Duke University Press. The free lecture and discussion will be held at 4 p.m. in Room 2014 of the General Classroom Building and all are invited. A reception will follow in the English Department Faculty Lounge in Room 2136. Agents want to be more than frat party band Hong Kong movies earn less in 1997 HONG KONG (AP) Thanks to Jackie Chan, John Woo and others. Hong Kong's star is rising in Hollywood. But back home its movie industry has lost some kick. Until 1997, Hong Kong was the world's third-largest movie maker behind Hollywood and India. But last year, the territory famed for Bruce Lee and shoot "em up action thrillers produced just 90 films, down from more than 200 in 1994. To cap a mixed year, Hong Kong movies also earned less. They accounted for just over 50 percent of the 1.16 billion Hong Kong dollars (dlrs 148.7 million) and the star of A Better Tomorrowhas just made his Hollywood debut in Columbia Picture's The Replacement Killers With stars and directors working abroad, some Hong Kong movies are having trouble getting funding, said Freddie Wong, a Hong Kong film distributor. "Investors are less willing to invest in lesser-known directors he said. Hong Kong also has quality problems. Many movies have similar plots, with similar characters, similar stars, in similar locations. Some moviegoers have, understandably, had enough. Agents of Roots will release their major label debut March 24. PHOTO COURTESY OF AGENTS OF 6000 ROOTS Band plays Friday at Peasants PaT REII) SENIOR WRITER From the not-so-distant city of Richmond, Virginia comes Agents of Good Roots, the latest in a string of funky, brass-injected bands hoping to make it big. The Agents have made a name for themselves in the local arena by years of hard work and touring, and more recently they have received exposure on a national level as their live shows have spread to Colorado and beyond. With their major label debut, One By One, hitting stores March 24, the band is playing scattered dates in the next few weeks preparing people for the album. They come to Greenville on Friday when the band plays a benefit show at Pantana Bob's. Recently drummer Brian Jones called our office to touch base and share a little insight into where the Agents come from and where they hope to be headed. TEC: "How did you guys originally get together?" Jones: "We met in Richmond about four or five years ago. I was playing in a band with his (Andrew Winn-lead guitarist) brother. .Andrew would show up and play guitar in the band every now and then. I could tell that he was serious about music and I was too, so we decided to get a band together, write some songs, do all original material, and things just kind of happened from there. Different musicians came in and out, and he brought in the bass player Stuart Myers that he grew up with in Roanoke, Virginia. I came up with the idea of bringing in a saxophone, maybe change up the sound a little bit. . .little did I know there was a band called Dave Matthews that had already decided to do that, but anyways. . .We've been touring for about two-and-a-half years now non- stop once we got serious at a certain point TEC: "Since you brought up the whole Dave Matthews thing, do you fear that with the current trends in music you'll be written off as trend- hopping?" Jones: "Maybe, but it's not the case. That would be the simpleton's answer. But I don't really fear that because with the new record that's coming out, and if anyone has seen us live, it's a totally different ball of wax TEC: "Who were some of your early influences?" " Jones: "Me, personally, I'm coming from a jazz background. Right now I'm listening to more of the modern schoollike a band called Human Fieldwhen I was younger, though, I liked all the rock like Zeppelin, John Bonham on drums. As I got into college, I started getting into more like Elvin Jones, Paul Motion, some of these other drummers that were playing more creative music TEC: "Are those the band's influences as a whole?"

In some ways, Hong Kong has been a victim of its own success. Its movie industry boomed in the mid-1980s, producing hits that piqued Hollywood's interest and led to Hong Kong talents being lured overseas. Director John Woo, for instance, went to make Broken Arrow and FaceOff, having achieved near-cult status with his Hong Kong-made thrillers A Better Tomorrow and Hard Boiled. Chow Yun-Fat, arguably Hong Kong's coolest gun-toting actor 'Hong Kong films are too boring said moviegoer Tim Chan, lining up to see The Replacement Killers. Hollywood productions are far more professional. They have the money and the technology he said. But not all the news is bad. Jackie Chan's Mr. Nice Guy made 45.4 million Hong Kong dollars (U.S. dlrs 5.8 million) at Hong Kong box offices last year, second only to Universal's The Lost World: Jurassic Park. And Wong Kar-wai's Happy Together won Hong Kong's first Palme D'Or prize at Cannes. Even though it traditionally shies away from interfering in commerce.

I like bottom-feeder cinema, mind you, films that don't cost much and can therefore afford to take risks. But as a reviewer, I get tired of praising films with critiques like, "If you can ignore the low-rent effects or "Keeping in mind that they couldn't afford real actors Well, there won't be any of that here, because today I'm reviewing first-time director Salvatore Sabile's Gravesend, and I've seldom seen a finer low-budget production. In Hollywood sales pitch terminology, it's Kids meets Reservoir Dogs. In critic-speak, Gravesend shows the meaninglessness of the lives of inner-city teens, with a smattering of violence and snappy dialogue thrown in for good measure. Or in plain English, it's the sordid tale of four high school kids in the town of Gravesend, New Jersey, who accidentally shoot somebody one night and try to ditch the body. If that sounds grisly, it is. Gravesend is ugly in places, as any film about lugging a dead body around in the trunk of a car should be. But it's pretty funny too, as any film about lugging a dead body around in the trunk of a car should also be. A lot of that humor lies in the characters. Zane, Chicken, Ray and Mikey (our "heroes") are typical 17- year-old lame brains. They hang out, give each other a hard time and pick fights to alleviate boredom. Zane, in particular, seems to enjoy fighting. So it's no big surprise that he's the one who whips out the gun and, not realizing that it's loaded, shoots Ray's brother in the neck. His friends' reaction to this is what makes the movie so engrossing. Though they freak out at first, once Zane starts laying plans to incinerate the body, they calm down and go along with him. They're obviously shaken, but they Dry to hide it behind false bravado. With the psychological damage they've just taken still bubbling under the surface, they hit the streets with a corpse in the trunk and try to act like nothing has happened. It's at this point that we realize The Gravesend'gang go for a drive. PHOTO COURTESY OF GRAVESEND HOME PAGE iust how stupid, or perhaos merelv naive, these guys are. As they go around l(xking for Jojo the Junkie, who can take care of the body for them, they act just like they always do. They get into fights, just like on any other Saturday night. Chicken tries to shoplift some potato chips (risky, considering the circumstances). They leave the car in a no parking zone, then have to con the cow truck driver out of rolling off with both car and body. They ineptly try to rob a convenience store for money to pay Jojo, then pose as the clerks when a customer comes in. It's a comedv of errors leading to an inevitably tragic conclusion.

Laura San Giacomo and George Segal take top billing of the NBC Tuesday night sitcom Just Shoot Me, playing fairly normal characters. He is publisher of Blush, a Cosmo-type women's magazine, and she, his daughter, works there. They are supported by Wendie Malick as a man- hungry ex-model, Enrico Colantoni as a lascivious photographer, and David Spade as a devious assistant to the publisher. Spade, whose floppy blond hair and boyish face disguise a wicked wit, came to Just Shoot Me with ideal credentials. He survived the rough and tumble of the standup comedy circuit. He played on the prime showcase for a generation of comedians, Saturday Night Live. And he appeared in successful feature films with the late Chris Farley including Tommy Boy and Black Sheep. But the sitcom world was little-known to Spade, whose one experience was a pilot that spun unsuccessfully from The Facts of Life. SN1 don't know how to sitcom- act, and I'm kind of glad he said. "It's cringe time when I watch other shows. They just don't seem funny to me. Spade did a lot of groundwork, eight years of performing standup comedy all over the country; before landing a steady job on Saturday Night Live. ' "What I didn't realize was that they didn't want me to be on the show; they wanted me to write he recalled by phone from his home in Arizona. But considering himself more effective as a performer, not a writer, he worked for three years trying to get in front of the camera while getting "pretty good" at writing sketches. He identified himself 'x a featured player longer than anyone there ever He watched as other comics became stars, but often they had individual hooks" that were hard to maintain. Seeking career longevity, he kept looking at people like Jerry Seinfeld and Garry Shandling. v v They make money, they're consistently funny, but they're never quite the topic of conversation he said. "Eventually they have a nice, long career where they score over and over During his six years on SNL, Spade became close friends with fellow cast member Farley. The movie Tommy Boy evolved from that collaboration. Producer Lome Michael saw the pair always fooling around, making fun of each other, and as Spade suggested. He thought we should do something with that type of relationship. He had a movie written for us Farley's recent death from a drug overdose hit Spade hard. To him, the comedian's self- destructiveness seemed long-term and deep- rooted. ' He was already superstitious, drinking. All the craziness was there Spade said. I don't think it started in show biz. That just worsened what was already there DiFranco continued from page 6 The most striking inconsistency is the title track. For some reason, DiFranco felt the need to pepper an otherwise strong acoustic rock song with ska-influenced horn arrangements. The song, which focuses on the politics of image, can't quite reconcile the silliness of the horns and the seriousness of the subject matter. Not that Ani isn't allowed to have her tongue in her cheek, but she's usually a better songwriter when she's less obtuse. After "Little Plastic Castle we get "Fuel a trademark DiFranco spoken word which is actually pretty darn cool, but out of place so early on the album. Then a new version of "Gravel recorded on the Dilate tour and included on Livingin Clip pokes its head in and, well, it ain't a purty sight "Gravel as a live performance, is probably one of Di Franco's best songs. The version on Iking in (Tip is Ani at her strum-strutting, ambiguously direct, angrily in love best. The version on Little Plastic Castle is a watered-down, studiofied, TV-dinner version, and it is this track, more than any other, that hurts from the contrast between the two albums. Happily, after "Gravel the album takes a turn for the better. Ani is best when she's not pontificating; her introspective examinations of the strong but neurotic white girl in the mirror are her best and most powerful songs. It seems to be much easier for Ani to express her emotions when she's dealing with the personal themes. "As Is "Loom "Two Little Girls" and "Swan Dive" are some of Ani's best studio recordings. "Pulse" is dark and hauntingly beautiful. Part of this has to do with the fact that her live band, Andy Stochansky and Jason Mercer, back her up in the studio. The chemistry from her live shows is evident in these songs. As always, Ani shines in the lyric department. Even when she's making political statements, she's clever enough not to sink into soapbox proclamations. Instead, she keeps an edge to her observations: "All the privileged white kids on tv playing at death btandishing their cold cuts with their ghostly make up and their heroin breath and all the fishes are flapping wildlyon their hooks while all the top critics find great meaningin the telephone book Ani's the queen of the short, strong lines as well: "I don't care if they eat me alive I've got bettet things to do than survive "I guess I'll just stand here with my back against the wall while you distill your life down to a 911 call In spite of its shaky beginning, IJttle Plastic Castle snaps back in the end; tracks 4-12 are, at their best, some of Ani's strongest work and at their worst, classic Ani compositions. Besides, you've got to hand it to the girl who's managed to keep her heart on her sleeve for most of the 90's and is still alive to sing about it. MENTOR, Ohio (AP) Police in this northeast Ohio city have chased fleeing felons before, but this time the fugitive was a 6-foot-6, two-ton elephant. "I've been here for 17 years, and it's the first time we've had an elephant on the loose said police Sgt. Kevin Knight. On Sunday, police had the task of capturing Tonya, an elephant that escaped from a circus performance at Mentot High School.

But, more often, Retallick and crew (Darryl Jones, pedal steel; Eric Webster, bass; Alan Wyrick, guitar and Jim Martin, drums) turn out some ptetty powerful songs. "The Garden of Memories where Retallick is joined by Lynn Blakely on vocals, is among the best. The six-minute-plus song is perfect blue-eyed soul. Retallick's mother, to whom the album is dedicated, passed away a few months before he began writing most of the songs on Darkling. So, it's not surprising that death hangs its head over a lot of the songs, including "The Garden of Memories He offers on the song, "The morning dew off your grave still sticks to my feet and the words seem to still stick to his throat.

She knocked assistant trainer Nick Tolomeo to the ground before opening a door with her trunk and fleeing the building, but he did not require medical attention. Tonya's trainers and volunteers joined in the chase as she galloped a quarter mile through open areas before stopping outside a Big Lots store in this city about 25 miles east of Cleveland. That was where her trainer caught up with het and persuaded her to get into his truck. Bret Bronson, Tonya's trainer, said Tonya panicked after another elephant was startled by a clown and bumped into her. The othet elephant squeezed Tonya against a wall. She was just like a child lost in a mall she panicked Bronson said. "She was in a real tight area, and she had just been spooked in the same place the day before. It was just a fluke circumstance Most of the 2,900 people who were watching the circus performance were not aware of Tonva's adventure.

Crandatl wiH always be remembered for the talent he brought to ECU't football program. Since graduation, he has gone on to play in the CFL and if residing in Greenville for the off-season, (flight) Crandell is remembered moat for the outstanding plays he made on Pirate fields, such as this one. photo by Jonathan green Wguy anyway? You know, the c whose name will go down in the books forever as one of the greatest football players ECU has ever known? Quarterback Marcus Crandell was never one to boast and brag about his accomplishments. The 1997 graduate valued his teamnates, coaches, and his committment to the team more than anything else, even when his face was shown across the nation on television. "I am not going to try to prove anything in front of a national television audience. I am going to win and play my heart out for myself, my teammates, and my coaches Crandell said prior to the Oct. 10, 1996 game against Southern Mississippi, scheduled to be aired on ESPN2. Finishing his college career ranked number one on ECU's list for career passing yards7,198), total offense (7,641), and touchdown passes (56), Crandell's accomplishments go above and beyond that of the average student athlete. He led the Pirates to two consecutive bowl appearances in 1994 and 1995 and ranked in the top 10 nationally in total offense for his sophomore and junior seasons. After graduation, Crandell decided that his time on the field was not complete, and with that, worked his way into the CFUs Edmonton Eskimos program. According to Crandell, playing in the CFL is a completely different ball game then the one he played in college. "I didn't really know what to expect going in, but once I got there, I found that I like playing in college better Crandell said. During the off-season, Crandell is spending his time back in Greenville. A native of Robersonviile, N.C Crandell said that one of the biggest sacrifices he has been forced to make is being so far away from his family and friends. "As long as my family is still here in North Carolina, Twill be coming back here when I am not playing Crandell said. "The team is a really nice organization but it is so far away. I did hot come home once from the time I left up until the middle of November Aside from family and college friends, another person that provided support in tougher times was ECU head football coach Steve Logan. "Coach Logan was definitely there for me through my hard times Crandell. "We talked about once a week on the phone, and since I came back to Greenville, I have been up to his office to visit quite a bit Crandell sees the upcoming season in the CFL as one for learning, and hopes to find more play time in 1998. An NFL hopeful, he has thought about coaching football in the future, but for now, his main concern is finishing his education in information processing "It would be great to coach, but that is something that is a long time away Crandell said. Unfortunately, Crandell was not able to catch much ECU football action last season because the television channels in Canada did not air any of the games. The only game he did get to see was the Wist Virginia game, caught on tape and sent his way by his sister. "I didn't get to see the games, but I made sure that I called every week to get the scores Crandell said. With much to look back on and even more to look forward to, Crandell realizes that as great as his college career was, the time has come to move on.

The Pirates won the opener of the three game set, 6-1, and dropped the second and third games by scores of 16-4 and 8-2 respectively. In the first game, junior left fielder Steve Salargo Erovided some of the offense ringing in 2 RBI's. Junior Antaine Jones also had a good day at the plate going 2 for 4 with one RBI and two runs scored. The pitching duo of junior Brooks Jemigan and senior John Payne combined to hold the Tigers to one run. ftryne, who pitched 3 23 innings in relief, gave up that run in the bottom of the ninth inning. Jemigan started the game and gave up six hits over 5 13 innings while striking out four. "I saw positive things when we put it all together ECU head coach Keith LeClair said of Friday's win. Unfortunately, Saturday's game was not so strong for the Pirates. ECU pitchers were stung for 17 hits, which yielded 16 runs for Clemson. Senior Brain Fields was saddled with the loss while giving up seven hits and five earned runs in 2 23 innings pitched. Antaine Jones again led the Pirates from the plate, belting his first home run of the season. He finished the game 2-4 with three RBI's and two runs scored. "Antaine Jones is off to a good start LeClair said. In the final game of the set, the Pirates were limited to six hits. One of which was a two-run home run by senior Billy Benson. Third baseman Chris Shaffer had a good day at the plate going 2-4, but the Pirate pitchers were hurt for a total of eight runs. Bill Outlaw, a junior, started and threw for four innings, giving up five runs on seven hits in the losing effort. Three other pitchers took the hill for ECU, each giving up one earned run apiece. "We have not played our best baseball yet Coach LeClair said. "We have to hit and pitch better. Defense has been our strength ECU has committed only two errors through their first four games.

The Korean 3,000-mcter relay team also broke its own world record in repeating as Olympic champions.China won the silver medals in both races, also its first medals of these games. Canada was third in both. Kim Dong-Sung, the 1997 world champion, trailed most of the race but stuck his right knee across the finish line to edge China's Li Jiajun in the men's 1,000 meters. It was the same knee he badly hurt as a junior high student. "It was a problem with my tendon he said. "But my coach and my mother convinced me I could overcome it and win Kim's daring move made him a winner in 1 minute, 32.375 seconds to Li's 1:32.428. Eric Bedard of Canada was third in 1:32.661 and American Andy Gabel was fourth in 1:33.518. "I knew he was just behind me Li said. "I tried to go quicker butcouldn't, and he passed me Kim was so excited with the double gold that he stuck around for the relay team's news conference, happily pointing to his gold medal as they entered the room wearing theirs. Damon Stafford STAFF WRITER The Club Sports Program at ECU gives students a chance to continue athletics at a college level. Club sports arc sponsored by Recreational Services and are open to all ECU students, staff and faculty. ECU currently competes in 16 active clubs ranging from rugby to kayaking "All 16 clubs have fall and spring seasons Gray Hodges of Recreational Services said. "But the athletes also practice year- round to sharpen their skills and better compete with opponents ECU club sports include men's and women's rugby, lacrosse, ultimate frisbee and volleyball as well as disc golf, women's field hockey, underwater hockey, swim club, water skiing and kayaking. Club sports also have a wide variety of martial arts such as Goju Shorin Karate, Tac Kwon Do, Isshinryu Karate and Tai Chi Chaun. With such a large variety of sports, there arc few excuses for students not to get involved. But even if none seem appealing, the club sports program is Martial arts programs are offered through recreational services. PHOTO COURTESY OF REC. SERVICES always open to new ideas. "If students are interested in a leadership role, then we are always open to getting something new started Hodges said. One of the most successful club sports has been men's ultimate frisbee.

PAGE I I 1: '�. ��� Banana , 12 Thursday, February 19 . 1998 sports The East Carolinian U.S. wrestlers, including one from Michigan, arrive in Iran TEHRAN, Iran (AP) � From a distance, an American flag painted on the wall of a tall government building in Tehran looks like it could be welcoming a Michiganian and other members of the U.S. wrestling team, the most prominent group of Americans to visit Iran since its 1979 revolution. But a closer look reveals skulls in place of stars, and the red streaks of falling bombs in place of stripes. "We will never make up with the United States even for a moment says an inscription underneath, summarizing nearly two decades of hostility between Iran and a country still known to many here as the Great Satan. That resolve is one face of Iran's Islamic Republic, set up after the revolution ousted the Ubacked shah. The other; of relative tolerance, comes from Iran's moderate president and those who invited the team. As they arrived at Tehran's airport early Tuesday, the American wrestlers were greeted by Mohammed Reza Taleqani, deputy chairman of the Iranian wrestling federation. 'The only thing I care about is wrestling, Taleqani said. Men dressing down in Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue NEW YORK (AP) �The Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue has an addition this yean men. Besides its usual trove of bare-skinned models, the magazine includes seven hot couples from pro sports, including Wayne Gretzky and Janet Jones. "I knew Wayne was great, but the first couple of times went to Canada with him, I felt like I was walking around with Michael Jackson said Jones, who appears in a swimsuit accessorized with hockey gear. In addition to the New York Rangers' center and his actress wife, the other couples are: Jennifer and Denny Neagle (Atlanta Braves); Cindy and Herschel Walker (Dallas Cowboys); Diane and Daryl Johnston (Dallas Cowboys); Marita and Reggie Miller (Indiana Pacers); Tina and Dan Majerie (Miami Heat); and Amy and Phil Mickelson (PGA Tour). All the wives are in swimsuits; their husbands are either clothed or bare-chested. Atlanta hockey team wins dispute in out-of- court settlement ATLANTA (AP)� The Atlanta Thrashers won't take the ice until 1999, but the team has already won its first fight. Turner Broadcasting System, Inc announced Monday that the NNL expansion team will officially be named the Thrashers following an out-of-court settlement with Thrasher Magazine, a skateboarding publication. The terms of the settlement were not released. The 160,000-circulation magazine sued the hockey team over the name in federal court, saying it sells millions of dollars worth of Thrasher T-shirts and other merchandise and wanted compensation before allowing the Former Cowboy coach in court for assault case DALLAS (AP)� Former Cowboys coach Barry Switzer was back in Dallas Monday for a pretrial hearing in a civil lawsuit pending against him. Two men accuse Switzer of making racial slurs to them at Dallas' Melrose Hotel in 1994. One alleges Switzer of assaulting him in a drunken rage. Switzer, who resigned as Cowboys coach last month, has denied the allegations. His lawyer, Brad Gahn, called the lawsuit frivolous and said the plaintiffs are targeting Switzer because he's a celebrity. Switzer left the Cowboys following a 6-10 season. The Cowboys last Thursday named Pittsburgh offensive coordinator Chan Gailey to replace him. Man killed in Superior a Husker Hall of Famer SUPERIOR, Neb. (AP) � A man struck by a car and killed here was a former Superior High School teacher and a member of the Nebraska Football Hall of Fame. Thomas L. Lee Penney, 88, played for the Cornhuskers from 1931-33 under Coach DX Bible. He was a letterman and two-time choice for the All-Big Six team. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1994. A sports enthusiast to the end, Penney had joined his wife, Elsie, in cheering the Superior basketball teams to victory over Southern Valley High School Saturday night. He was hit by a car while crossing a street outside the high school after the last game ended, said Officer Gary Blcvins of the Superior Police Department. He died carry Sunday morning. Track teams fight rainy conditions Piratesstruggledueto lost practice time Stephen Schramm SINIOl WtfTEl El Nino has wreaked havoc on the lower 48 states for the past few months. The weather condition caused by the movement of warm water in the Pacific has caused problems with the planet's weather, the country's agriculture and ECU's track teams. The rain El Nino has dumped on the east coast has made training impossible and caused lackluster performances and disappointing finishes. "Up to this week we've only had two days of training in two weeks. But we're hanging in there said Head Men's Track Coach Bill Carson. The lack of meaningful practice did not show in the the men's team's performance two weeks ago at the Bill Cosby Invitational in Reno, Nevada. The team posted two third place finishes. Sophomore sprinter, Ramondo North, finished third in the 55 meter dash. North shaved Club Sports continued from page 11 University of California at Santa Barbara and Stanford. On Feb. 21-22, the Irates will travel to rival Wilmington to compete with some of the top ultimate frisbee teams in the nation. "If everyone on the team can stay healthy and give it their all, then we're going to be very successful freshman Irate Dan Bjorkman said. nearly two-tenths of a second off his previous weeks performance, with a time of 7.4 seconds. The 4x400 relay team got their NCAA provisional qualifying time, but was given a third place finish. "We ran in Reno purely on emotion Carson said. "When we had a chance to do something, we didn't The Pirates also had 10th place finishes by Marcus Gladden in the 200 and Darrick Ingram in the 400. The Pirates' lack of practice didn't slow them down in Reno, but it caused disaster at last weekend's meets. "It was the worst meet we've had in five years Carson said. The UNC Invitational in Chapel Hill saw only two Pirates reach the finals in their respective events. Tremaync Nunley was disqualified in the 60 meter hurdles and never got to race due to a bad start. The other, Britt Cox in the 60 meter dash, ran his season best time of 6.98 seconds en route to a seventh place finish. Eleven members of the team went to the Frank Sevigne Husker Invitational in Lincoln, Nebraska, ten failed to make the finals. The lone finalist was Ramondo North in the 200 meter dash. In the finals North managed a fourth place finish despite stumbling in the tight turns of the Nebraska track. Losing practice time hurt the team, officials said. "We can't bring back those two weeks and we can't bring back that experience Carson said. The women's team's training was also washed out by the bad weather. "The weather has really prevented us from getting out and sharpening our skills in in things like the hurdles and the jumps said Head Women's Track Coach Charles "Choo" Justice. Undaunted, however, they split up and went to both the UNC Invitational and the Virginia Tech Invitational. Junior Nicky Goins led the Lady Pirates finishing 12th in the 60 meter dash and 10th in the 200 meters. Marshari Williams qualified for the finals in the 60 meter high hurdles, finishing 15th with a time of 8.97 seconds. Both Goins and Williams had the best times of the season in their respective events, but they were not alone. Season bests were set by Lauren Chadwick in the 400, Becky Testa in the 800, Robin Bates in the mile, Crystal Frye and Eva Eiroma in the shot put and the 4x400 meter relay team. Club rugby has also been very active and successful. Last year the rugby team was runner-up in the state playoffs, and currently they are undefeated in the 1998 Spring season. With just two more conference wins, the team will advance to the southern regiunals, whi h could qualify them for the national tournament. On March 2, ECU rugby will host Duke as well as Cherry Point on April 4. After losing seven seniors last year, the men's lacrosse team planned for a year of rebuilding. But after a 10-5 win over N.C. State, they proved to be top contenders once again. Last spring the club lacrosse team finished eighth in the national tournament. This weekend they will travel to Atlanta to face Georgia Tech, Illinois, Clemson and N.C. State. Club sports can only work with the participation of ECU students, faculty and staff. With many athleces leaving the team after graduating, new members are always welcome. Most of these clubs are free of charge or at a minimal cost to students.

Currently enrolled graduate, non-degree and undergraduate students are eligible to register using the Automated Voice Response System during the registration period for Summer Sessions and Fall Semester 1998 using the new telephonic system. Do I have to use AVRS? No. You may also register on-line in your major department, the Registrar's office, or any open terminal. hen can I use AVRS? Early Registration for Summer Session and Fall Semester of 1998 begins March 30, 1998, at 8:00 a.m. for on-line registration and 10:00 a.m. for telephonic registration. Please check the SummerFall 1998 Schedule of Classes or the ECU Home page for the allocation of registration days and all relevant times, dates, and deadlines. What do I need to do before I can use AVRS? V Take care of all obligations to the University. f w V Obtain your Personal Identification Number (PIN). Without a PIN you cannot use the system. V Obtain your Registration Code from your adviser during advising week (March 23- March 27). (Graduate and non-degree students do not require a registration code.) What is a PIN? It's a "Personal Identification Number" (PIN) just exactly like the PIN you use at your bank for your Automatic Teller Machine card. It is a four to eight digit number that you obtain over the Web. To acquire a PIN, you must access STUDENT RECORDS & REGISTRATION on the ECU Home Page (http:www.ecu.edu) On this page you will find STUDENT RECORDS which indicates that it requires entry of Student ID and PIN. Instructions for choosing, activating, and using your PIN can be found here. You may select any four to eight digit number. It is important to remember that if you choose any number less than eight digits you will have to place zeros (0) in front of this number to make eight digits. You must use an eight digit number to access the voice response system. (EXAMPLE: If your PIN number is 4321 then when you access the voice response system you must enter 00004321.) Upon successful selection of a PIN, an Activation Code will be mailed to your campus e-mail address. You must check your e-mail to retrieve your activation code. Do I have an Exchange E-mail account? Every currently enrolled student has an ECU exchange e-mail account with the exception of those students who have filed a non-disclosure form. Students that have filed this form with the Registrar's Office will not be able to obtain a PIN number and therefore, will be unable to use the automated voice response system. Your user-id should be your legal initials followed by the month and day of your birth. For example, the user-id for John Quincy Public born on March 4 would be JPQ0304. Your password will be the last six (6) digits of your Social Security Number. To access your account: You must use the web address: http:www.ecu.edueouexchmsg.htm. Please follow the directions on this page. If you are using a personal system (as opposed to a public access lab) you are encouraged to use POP or IMAP to retrieve your e-mail. Instructions for configuring POP or IMAP service can be found at the following web ste:http:www.ecu.eduexchangepop. If you have any problems or questions about your E-mail account, please go to Austin 208 for assistance or call 328-0077. Questions? If you have any questions, call the Registrar's Office at (919)-328-6524; Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. - km C � Mendenhall StudentCenter, Ronald E.
