Two students find
themselves in
unexpected situation
NINA M. DRY
STAFF WHITER
Manv women think they are safe
from' being slipped date rape
drugs, but as two ECU students
discovered, it can happen to
anyone.
"My friend and I were dancing
with these guys and they bought
us some drinks Sugar said.
Soon after, both Sugar and her
friend started feeling so strange
that they left the club. Upon
returning to their residence hall,
Sugar said she began
experiencing dizzy spells and
hvperventilation attacks shortly
after her friend went to sleep.
The next morning Sugar said
her friend awoke in a paralyzed
state, unable to move or recall
any of the events of the previous
night. Both
women
believe the
date rape
drug called
Rohypnol was
slipped in
their drinks.
Rohypnol,
also known as
the "date rape
drug are
white tablets
no larger
than an
that
aspirin
a r e
manufactured in Mexico by
Hoffman-La Roche Inc a large
pharmaceutical company.
Although they are not available
legally in prescription form in the
United States, they are legal in
about 60 countries as a treatment
for insomnia.
Rohypnol originally had no
color, taste or smell, so it was easy
for someone to slip it into
another's drink. But this has
changed.
"On Oct. 16,
announced by
1997,
the
it was
North
Carolina Allegiance Against
Sexual Assault that Rohypnol was
no longer colorless said Tracy
Scott, a Pitt County rape victim's
advocate for the Real Crisis
Center. "If dissolved in a drink,
the drug will give off a blue tint.
Even in dark drinks, it will give
off a murky color
According to Heather Zophy, a
health educator at the Student
Health Center, the effects of the
drug will be felt about 15
minutes after it has been
ingested and will reach their
peak in two hours. Side effects
will persist for an additional six
to eight hours.
"Symptoms caused by this
drug can be intensified in the
presence of alcohol, such as
blackouts and amnesia Zophy
said.
According to the Metro
Toronto Research Group on Drug
Use, other symptoms include
decreased blood pressure,
drowsiness, confusion, dizziness,
difficulty speaking and moving
and simultaneously feeling
extremely hot and extremely
cold. It also can cause aggressive
tendencies even though it is
normally a sedative.
Rohypnol has been gaining
popularity with high school and
college students because of the
fact that it's a "hangover-free"
high and they are relatively
cheap, ranging in price of 50
cents to $3. However, it does
have detrimental effects.
"Since 1987, there have been
2,638 documented cases of
Rohypnol seizures in the United
States due to the consumption of
too many of these pills Scott
said.
Another drug out on the
market similar to Rohypnol is
Gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB),
better known as liquid ecstacy.
"GHB can be used in
situations of rape because it
causes a
comatose
effect to
i t s
victims
Zophy
said .
"After
taking
GHB, the
person
usually
cannot
remember
the events
that took
place six
to eight hours after the drug is
ingested
GHB has the same odorless
and colorless characteristics of
Rohypnol, but has a somewhat
salty taste. The symptoms are
also similar.
If, for any reason, someone
thinks that he or she is
developing symptoms from GHB
or Rohypnol, there are places to
seek help. Student Health
Services offers testing for both
drugs. Since traces of Rohypnol
or GHB can be detected in one's
urine up to 72 hours after
consumption, urine drug
screening can be done at Health
Services to find traces of the
drug. Weekend hours of 9 a.m. to
noon are available. Pitt Memorial
Hospital will administer blood
and toxicology tests to screen the
system for the drug.
Zophy said one of the most
important things anyone can do
is make certain to give their
physician all of the information
possible.
"It's important to tell the
health care provider all that has
happened to them so that we can
take the measures needed to get
them the help they need Zophy
said.
Rohpynol "date rape drug" is a white tablet no
larger than an asprin. legal in 60 countries.

Cuba, Russia to forge

MEXICO CITY (AP) ? Russia
and Cuba will try to forge ahead in
completing a nuclear power plant
in the western Cuban province of
Cienfuegos, officials of the two
nations said Saturday.
The two countries scuttled
plans to invite other countries to

U.S. case against Saddam
built on cumulative
record of violations
WASHINGTON (AP) ? -At the
core of President Bill Clinton's
case for bombing Iraq are two
charges: persistent violations of
U.N. resolutions since the Gulf
War ended in 1991 and growing
worries about Saddam Hussein's
ability to harm his neighbors.
Taken together, the United
States is using these charges to
cast the Iraqi president as a
cheater whose defiance is making
a mockery of the United Nations
and as a bully who is a grave threat
to the world.

STAFF WHITER
Presently, economic conditions in
the U.S. are the best they have
been in "30 years, yet economists
can not explain why or how long
this will last.
Some economists believe there
arc several possible reasons for the
good economy, low inflation, growing
productivity rate and thus, a natural
rail in the rate of unemployment.
The federal Reserve Board has
done a good job keeping the inflation
level low" said Dr. Philip Rothman,
assistant professor in ECU's
economic department.
Rothman believes a high level of
productivity growth contributes to a
good economy.
"Productivity growth is roughly
how much output we get given a
certain amount of input Rjthman
said. "It is the most important
determinant, over the long run, of
economic standards of living It
seems to be increasing a good deal.
Without a doubt, that unambiguously
would make things better off
Many economists have
investigated productivity rates, and
no one knows for certain why they
have increased.
"I would say it's finally focusing on
prices lowering said Dr.Randall
Parker, associate professor in ECU's
economic department. "Economic
growth stems from having a stable
price level, but I can't demonstrate
that formally It's better to have good
times with no explanations than bad
times with no explanations
Basically, if productivity growth
combines with non-inflationary
growth then the unemployment rate
goes down. The economy, based on
average rates, appears to be good; but
certainly not everyone is enjoying
that fact. Some Americans are losing
their jobs and are blaming it on
downsizing in companies or foreign
competition.
Parker believes downsizing isn't
caused by the economic conditions,
but rather by mechanization and
technology development.
"Machines are now replacing
labor Parker said. "The fact of the
matter is a lot of people are
downsized by the textile industry, not
because 01 foreign competition, but
because of overgrowth in the 70's and
80's. The textile industry in North
Carolina has remained competitive
because of the mechanization that's
going on
Rothman believes this issue has
been over-emphasized.
"It's sad for anyone to lose a job
Rothman said. "The downsizing
occurring isn't historically
precedented or terribly unique.
There are always examples of people
who end up with a dead-end job, and
I don't mean to diminish that
Parker said the North Carolina
state economy is incredibly healthy.
"A very high fraction of the work
force was employed in agriculture at
the turn of the century Parker said.
"Today, it's only about two percent
and failing, and we're still producing a
lot of food. The triangle has an
unemployment rate of less than two
percent
Presently, the economy is in its
84th month of continuous economic
expansion. Despite this current
trend, economists don't know how
long this will last.
At some point in the future it is
safe to say there will be a recession:
why, when, we don't know Rothman
said.
Parker believes the recession will
most likely be mild, unless it is
preceded by a run-up in inflation. He
relates this fact to the post-World War
II recessions that occurred after large
bouts of inflation.
"If we don't have a large bout of
inflation, then, from what we know
since the second World War, it's
unlikely to be a very bad recession
ftrker said.
Two issues important in the
economy today seem to be
distribution of income and the
spending of various entitlement
programs, such as Medicare and
social security.
"From a policy standpoint, a
thorny issue is spending of the
funding of various entitlement
programs Rothman said.
Parker said that the problem of
distribution of income has a good,
simple economic explanation.
"The educated are on an up-
escalator, and the uneducated are on
a down-escalator Parker said. "It's
all about how much you want to
invest in yourself. If you have talent
and skills you can make a lot of
money in today's economy, and if you
don't then you're looking at
minimum wage and competition'

job for the rest of your life. Thai's

So why is it that humanity funds its heroes? Most ECU athletes receive full scholarships
in exchange for their talents. This is not a bad thing. Nobody is upset that sports are
loved far and wide by an incredible majority of humans, and certainly nobody besmirches
the indisputable fact that this university's athletic department brings in a heap of its
budget from atttletic events. There are only questions now as to where the money for the
athletic scholarships comes from. Are they appropriated by student fees? Are they
donated by alumni and enthusiasts, are they earned from the ticket and concession sales
at the events? Could the scholarships be raised from a combination of these sources?
These answers would be nice to have. As for now, we're left to wonder just what it is
about being an athlete that warrants a free ride through school.
Many students at this university work outside of class for the benefit of their
departments and, to some degree, the university. Most of these students, who, like the
athletes, work long and hard at their extracurricular endeavors as well as their regular
assignments, but do not receive any compensation from their departments. There are
scholarship programs and external grant resources that non-athletic students can apply
for, but these usually pay a limited amount of money for a one-time situation, and rarely
involve paying a student's tuition in exchange for his or her pursuit of knowledge.
It would be nice if the university recognized some of the students besides athletes who
invest great amounts of time and energy into projects for the university. But most likely,
such an occurrence is a pipe dream. Nothing is necessarily wrong with the apparent facet
of humanity to celebrate its athletes and celebrities more than its artists and
intellectuals. As long as there have been two humans around capable of beating each
other up, there have been others there who have wanted to watch. We love action,
adventure, danger, pain, violence, shock, drama All those sensual thingies that shake us
into realization like pinpricks in our sides. Athletics arc fun. Everybody loves watching
the 500-pound quarterback plow into some other quarter-ton fellow, busting teeth loose,
jarring vertebrae, cracking ribs, straining muscles causing pain, making us who watch
cringe and bury our faces, peek through our fingers and pick our jaws up from off our
knees.
TEC does"norwant to generalize, but the indefinite size of Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium in
comparison with the collective sizes of the Wright Auditorium, the Speight Auditorium,
McGinnis Auditorium, Fletcher Music Center's recital hall, and the Gray Art Gallery
implies that wc humans tend to value sports over other forms of entertainment and
enlightenment. It is no real wonder, understanding society's priorities, why athletes
generally receive a free ride through college in exchange for their talents. The real
wonder lies deeper in why we humans even regard athletes as highly as we do. Why do
we relish physical prowess over intellectual capacity? This is not to assume or imply that
athletics do not involve intelligence and mental involvement, rather to observe that
athletics are much more likely to be regarded as a physical event than a mental one.
So, it still wouldn't hurt for the rest of us who work just as hard as an athlete to get
some recognition for what we do. It wouldn't disservice us or the university at all to
receive some form of compensation for the time and energy we spend researching our
unique endeavors that, in the long run, contribute to humanity's improvement just as do
athletics. No complaints were meant by this statement, really. TEC simply asks the
readers to consider these observations.

According to the incumbents in

A native of Savannah, Georgia,
Eva Clayton made history in 1992
when she became the first African-

also the first African-American to

Respect non-smokers' rights
Have a little respect for the
people around you. Although
it may not seem lite it, there
are people around who do
not smoke.
So, smoking is in style now. I have
a scarce handful of friends who
don't do it, and everywhere I look
someone is firing up. And I don't
care.
I think that smoking cigarettes
is as much a fad as celebrities
smoking cigars, disco and Nfcnilla
Ice. Bell bottoms are in one year
and out the next, and so it goes
with cigarettes. So I, never having
been one to fall victim to a trend,
have never had the urge to develop
a serious smoking habit. Sure, I
tried to be cool in middle school
with all my friends hiding behind
someone's house with a single
stolen cigarette of her mother's.
We'd pass it around and nobody
ever actually inhaled, but we sure
did feel cool. After I teamed to
inhale much later in life and
discovered that tobacco and my
delicate system disagree on several
key issues, suph as whether to
keep down my lunch, 1 decided
that the tobacco industry would
have to find another target for its
underage smoking campaign.
But this is neither here nor
there. The real issue at hand is
problem smokers.
By this I do not mean people
who smoke truckloads of cigarettes
daily and become disgusting, hairy
monsters when denied the
soothing burn for more than 20
minutes. I'm talking about the
realty obnoxious ones. The ones
who insist on exercising their right
to blow their stinky carcinogens
directly into my path of travel in
otherwise healthy places.
Say, for instance, when I'm
walking to class. I'm just strolling
along, enjoying a rare sunny
Greenville day, admiring the butt
of a football player in front of me,
when suddenly, I am confronted by
an ethereal gray cloud. Upon
drawing in a breath (which is
essential to life on this planet), I
realize that I have just been thrust
into the midst of a thundercloud of
second-hand smoke. After the
initial unpleasantness subsides, I
take' a look around and try to
discern the culprit. Then I sec a
small, lighted stick swinging from
the fingers of some thoughtless
stranger. How people can walk and
smoke simultaneously boggles my
mind anyway. I have difficulty
walking and chewing gum.
I personalty do not care who
smokes. I recognize that everyone
has a right to do as he or she
pleases. You can smoke until your
teeth turn black and you
spontaneously combust; I don't
give a flying fig. However, I refuse
to be drug down into the fierypit
of a cancerous hell with you. The
absolute rudest thing a smoker r
do to a nonsmokcr is blow snx
directly into the nonsmoker's &ce.
It is worse than rude. It is a
horrible and nasty thing to do,
hell holds a special place for di
people. It is located directly
beneath the toilets.
Lately smokers have been
forced out of their natural habitat.
In California it is now illegal to
smoke in a bar or restaurant. This
is due largely to the
disproportionate number of
inconsiderate smokers versus
thoughtful ones.
Have a tittle respect for the
people around you. Although it
may not seem like it, there are
people around who do not smoke.
If you're in a car with one of these
ephemeral creatures, roll down a
window. If you're walking on
campus, watch where you blow
your smoke. Greenville smokers
have it much better than most. You
can smoke in the mall here, of all
things. Don't abuse a privilege like
that.
The moral of the story here is
that if smokers will respect
nonsmokers, then they will gain a
tot more ground than by doing the
opposite, we can all be friends! So
wave your little tubes of joy with
care, and watch what a happy
world ours becomes.
OPINION
Jeff
BERGMAN
If you do the crime, do the time
side of issues geared towards
advancing the social welfare of the
poor, indigent, the elderly, and
others at an economic or social
disadvantage in the First
Congressional District and the
nation.
Clayton docs not forget the
gcrscvering citizens of her district,
he holds regular forums where
she discusses issues fundamental
to moving the district forward as
the new millennium approaches.
When she came to Congress in
1992, the budget deficit was $290
billion. With Clayton's assistance
in voting for the balanced budget
bill and numerous Democratic
initiatives, the budget deficit was
reduced to $23 billion.
Remember, this enormous deficit
was fueled by Reaganomics and
"supply-side" economics.
Clayton, former member of the
Warren County Board of
Commissioners where she served
as chairperson from 1982-1990, is a
champion of causes for bettering
the plight of the poor and middle
class. When, in Wilson, N.C
Governor Bill CJinton, in 1992,
asked voters to support Clayton, I
knew that she was an agent of
change and social progress. When
I shook hands with Clinton and
Clayton that year, 1 knew that,
after twelve years of Reagan and
Bush, there is a light at the end of
the tunnel.
It is a sad day when a woman
dams she was violated and
people accuse her of lying for
personal gain. What gain?
She goes to trial and is
treated like a whore.
You arc right; you arc exactly right.
The chances of the two fraternity
boys recently accused of sexual
assault actually being convicted of
rape are slim to none.
First let us assume that the
victim is, as the letter to the editor
implies, lying. I am willing to buy
this argument. She might be one
of the two percent of women who
file false rape charges (those who
either admit the charges are false
or later recant their story).
Some even say the two percent
is inflamed. It is believed that
either the small minority recant
their testimony because of a
second and third assault, or they
are, in fact, lying.
The second assault stems form
the police handling of the case. I
will admit the police have gotten
better at investigating rape claims.
In the past the police had a
tendency to treat the victims of
rape as criminals.
The third assault comes from
the trial. What person would not
want to go through the humiliation
of a trial? Subject yourself to a trial,
take the witness stand and watch
more mudslinging being heaped
upon you than the average
Presidential election. A nice
defense attorney will try their best
to drag out every sexual experience
you have ever had.
Everything from your first
sexual experience, to a one night
stand you might have had three
years ago; every little thing you
might have done will try to be
introduced into the court. Who
among us can say they have a clean
record?
If the accuser is lying what is
she trying to gain? These boys are
not rich football players. In all
likelihood money might not be her
concern for these claims. Perhaps
another reason, aside from justice,
exists.
Revenge; it must be revenge.
Possibly, she was mad at them for
spurning her. So, she decides to
file rape charges and not being able
to remember anything. Some
make the wrong claim that one-
fourth of rape charges are made
falsely, and part of the reasoning is
revenge. The women making the
claims for purposes of revenge are
not very bright.
Subjecting yourself to an often-
lengthy and dirty trial is a high
price to pay for revenge. Other
ways of getting revenge are easier
and less emotionally traumatizing.
I will refer you to any of George
Hayduke's books on revenge.
Now wc assume she is telling
the truth. The chances for
conviction are small. They saidshe
said is what the trial will end up
being. Unless a witness comes
forth and we know how close
friends arc about keeping secrets,
conviction is unlikely.
It is a sad day when a woman
claims she was violated and people
accuse her of lying for personal
gain. What gain? She goes to trial
and is treated like a whore.
Some people would rather
believe this woman instigated sex
with the two boys, than the claim
she was assaulted. It is likely, these
people would rather call a woman a
liar than admit a problem exists
within society.
If she is telling the truth the
boys will see jail time. The guilty
party always goes to jail; right, O.J.?
Never let anyone keep you contained and
never let anyone keep your voice silent

When most people think of anime, or
Japanese animation, they envision
some big-breasted girl whose lips
don't quite move along to the
English words coming out of her
mouth, getting it on with guys
dressed in plastic space-suits or
various creatures of the underworld.
Maybe they also think of Sailor
Moon, whose hackneyed plot pits a
schoolgirl against X-number of
criminals per week with no relief in
sight.
But this is a misrepresentation of
what anime is reallv about, and
ECU's SAGA (School of .Any thing-
Goes Anime), is a relatively new club
dedicated to introducing students to
real anime, as both an art form and a
source of high-quality, imaginative
entertainment.

It's a shame that female musicians
like Paula Cole and Celine Dion
keep getting nominated for
Grammys when there are talented,
brilliant women out there like
Claire Holley. Folks talk a lot about
how well Dion can sing, even
though all she really does is warble
out arpeggios and tremolos that
have nothing to do with the
content (what little there is) of her
songs.
If they knew what good singing
was, they'd be listening to Holley,
who has the vocal range and
flexibility of Jewel, the finesse of
Patsy Cline and the smoothness of
jLyle Lovett. Her voice drips
honey; it's better than milk; it's
'Smoother than that so-called "milk
chocolate" advertisers show rivers
of in Hershey's commercials.
m In other words, folks, Claire
Holley can sing. But don't expect
any fancy-schmancy vocal
acrobatics or show-off high notes.
Leonardo Da Vinci once remarked
that the sign of a master artist was
knowing when not to paint, and
Holley never over-sings. When she-
has to, she creeps on up into the
high notes or she slurs notes to
throw in some twang, but only
when she has to. Most of the time
she just lets her voice sparkle like
the shimmery rainwater you see in
earrv 90's romance movies.
Slot that Holleys just a pretty
voice. No sir. The lady is also a darn
good songwriter, much better than
the aforementioned Cole, much
better than Jewel, or any random
contemporary I can think of at the
moment. It's refreshingly free of
politics or feel-good psychology.Her
lyrics are filled with the poetry of
normal human life, the clumsy
romances and golden moments of
tiny triumph that evervdav folks
feel.
. Combine that with soothing,
sometimes spooky guitar pickin
and crisp, smooth and haunting
melodies and you have quite an
impressive package. Sight Air
doesn't sound like the average
home-made record. Recorded in
Chicago and Carborro, the album is
beautiful as a hvmn and honest as a

Cravin' Melon debuts
new bassist
Treading Evans
good and loud

MVKlKttWIWt
Greenville's adopted sons, Cravin'
Melon, returned to The Attic-
Saturday night, but something was
different. The music was a non-stop
set of Cravin' classics and new
tunes, the crowd was the usual pit of
swaying, singing people, but some of
the faces had changed, with one in
particular drawing the most
attention. Earlier this month Cravin'
Melon announced a change-up in
their personnel. Road manager
Dixon Lee who, over time, had
become the fifth and unofficial
member of the
band had left to
pursue different
goals. Even more
noticeable to
fans though, was
the absence of
bassist J.J-
Bowers.
It seems that
earlier this
month Bowers
decided his time
in the hand had
drawn to an end.
After months of
discussion, he
and the band
parted ways to
allow him to
spend more time
with his wife and
two-year-old
daughter.
Fortunately, he
had discussed
this with the
band enough that
a replacement
had already been
considered.
Saturday's
show at The Attic marked the
second show for new bassist, Rob
Cray. Cray stepped into a situation
of intense pressure with his first two
shows being at Raleigh's Lake
Boone Country Club and The Attic,
two of the band's most popular
spots. Despite any pressure he may
have felt on. the inside. Cray
stepped up to the challenge and
remained cool as he filled the shoes
left by Bowers without a gliche.
.After playing guitar for Doolittle,
Cray switched to bass in the bands
Evan and Jerrard and Lost Paradise
out of Raleigh. Playing with these
bands, he got to know the guvs in
Cravin' Melon and the chemistrv
just seemed to work enough that
when Bowers left. Cray was the first
choice for a replacement.
This chemistrv was instantly
noticeable as the band seemed at
Chapman started the intro to "Hey
Sister a feeling of ease and
relaxation radiated from the stage.
As the show progressed, Cray
never sank back into the shadows,
but rather walked around,
interacted with the fans and never
seemed to play the nart of new guy.
Early on it was easily seen that this
was not a case of the three original
members and the new guy, but
rather this was a collective unit from
beginning to end.
Still, the songs themselves
remained the main focus as the
band mixed the show up with brand
new songs and songs from deep in
the band's five year past. Included
in this mix were extended versions

Treading Evans played at Pantana
Bob's Thursday night, but
unforeseeable technical difficulties
put a sudden end to the
performance. Action Figures
opened the show, with their own
special blend of catchy rock tunes
featuring an acoustic lead guitar.
Whitey followed their act with a
groovy cover of The Stones'
"Svmpathy for the Devil as well
as some heavy original songs. Eddie
White churned out some album-
quality lead guitar licks backed by a
very tight band, including the
world's most earnest-looking
drummer.
One song, a rap reminiscent of
Rage Against the Machine's,
worked the crowd into such a
frenzied state that a brawl broke
out. Some guy was sharing his beer
with the sky and some other guy
didn't appreciate getting rained on
bv it, and the rest is history. The
dance floor was summarily coated
with an undetermined fermented
substance which didn't make for
good traction.
None of this, however, could
srop the sorority babes from
grouping together in full force in
anticipation of the headliner.
Treading Evans. I knew from the
moment the band stepped on stage
that something "different" would
occur: just what, I didn't know.
With pulsating red lights, lots of
smoke and scary Gwar-esque guitar
sounds, they introduced
themselves. Derek is the lead
singer and also plays rhythm guitar;
Nick plays lead guitar and does
backup vocals; Marshall is the
drummer and Neil (from Action
Figures) was on bass that night.
Suddenly, and with more smoke,
the band launched into a coma-
inducing angst anthem (or at least
assume it was, since I couldn'g
understand the lyrics). The bea
was tribal and driving, capable of
pounding all thought out of then
mind and, in the case of the
sorority chicks, replacing it with an
urge to dance a sort of Cure shuffle j
with various Dead-head arm j
movements thrown in. i
Marshall was clearly in control of?

phrases to the crowd ("G-Town is
in da hooouuuse) and ripping off
his shirt with much gusto.
Most of the original audience
was driven from the floor by the
sheer waves of sound emanating
from the stage, but, as the saying
goes. What doesnVkfll you drily'
makes you stronger and had they
stayed, they might have
appreciated Nick's effortless guitar
solos, which infused Treading
Evans' bombastic style with color
and interest.
Derek broke a string and, after
pleading fruitlessly with the crowd
for another guitar, spent several
minutes restringing his guitar while
the rest of the band struck up a
mostly-instrumental number.
Whereas most of the band's
other songs were influenced by the
likes of Tool and other assorted
metal bands, this song, which kept
perpetuating itself, reminded me
of the two unhappy hours I spent at
a Widespread Panic concert last
summer.
Fortunately, once Derek was
back onstage everything got back
to normal for a few minutes until
problems with the sound system,
forced the show into early!
retirement.
Treading Evans puts on a good
loud show, but the band could be a!
bit tighter The music is not so
melodic and the lyrics aren't really
audible, but the songs are, on the.
whole, appealing to humanity's
darker, animal nature. Hopefully,

Local bands play to benefit Real Crises Center

stkf hi rr?
The Attic housed a widely diverse
group of musicians Thursday,
February 19 when bands from near
and far gathered together to
perform at the ninth annual Rock
For Real concert hosted by the Real
Crisis Center of Greenville. The
Real Crisis ("enter is a hotline that
can be called for those who need to
talk to someone about suicide, rape
or any other life crisis. All proceeds
from the Rock For Real concert
went to the Real Crisis Center.
The evening began w ith an open
mic session that allowed young
bands to perform and hope to catch
a few ears in the process. The
opening group consisted of three
guys playing three acoustic guitars.
Things were pretty laid back
throughout their set which
consisted of some original and some-
cover songs.
At this point, there was hardly an
audience, rather there were only a
handful of people at the Attic. One
of the guys commented. "We dont
have a name yet but I think we arc-
going to call orrselvcs MCI because
we have a lot of
friends and family
in the audience
The handful-
sized crowd did get
a few surprises from
this group when
MCI did renditions
of Bob Dylan's "All
Along the
W a t c h t o w e r. "
However. their
version was the
same arrangement
that the Dave
Matthews Band
made famous. The
other delight was an
acoustic
performance of the
Kiss hit, "I Wanna
Rock -n Roll All
Night Despite
only being in the
process of starting a
band, these fellas
did a real good job.
Following t he-
opening act was
Matt Holder, a solo
singerguitarist who
played a set of cover
songs because he
Hey look mom. no hands! Melanie Sparks headlined Rock for Real.

said it is cool to do. By this
time, the crowd had
grown to a little more than
a few and they were very
receptive of the choice of
songs Matt Holder
played. He played John
Mellancamp's "jack and
Diane which had the
crowd singing along. In
the middle of Holders set.
he invited two friends up
on stage and let them
perform one of their own
compositions.
The next band are a
bunch of low-down dirty
thieves because they
definitely stole the show.
Javier and the Cabana
Boys stepped onto the
stage, all eight of them,
and proceeded to deliver
wild, old school ska
sounds that raised heads
and dropped jaws. They
opened with an
instrumental that allowed
all of the members to
shine in their own way.
Javier and the Cabana
Boys consist of guitar, bass
and drums to supplv the
rhvthm and a brass section with a
trumpet, alto sax. tenor sax, and last!
but not least a rough-voiced singer
who added some mouth percussion;
sounds during the instrumental;
song.
The band apologetically!
mentioned that Javier was not in
attendance this evening and that
they had a fill-in on bass for the
duration of the night. Fill-in or not
this band was tight. They delivered
seven songs including two covers. J
one being Svmrip's Reggae tune;
"Skinhead Girl and "Gangsters
bv the Specials. The stage presence
of this group was very loose and you
could tell that these guys were;
having a lot of fun doing what thev j
do.
Kevin, the guitarist, mentioned,
that hours and hours of practice is ;
what enables them to perform with
such comfort. Speaking of comfort,
it was quite humorous to see the
band in the corner of the .Attic
helping each other prepare their j
outfits, adjust suspenders and add
the final grooming touches to
themselves before they had their
fun. It was apparent that the were

Ft was sometime
during quiet time,
when we were
supposed to be
reading the latest
adventures of Dick
and Jane. Ms. Longo
turned on the old Zenith
on the media cart. For a
second, I thought we were going to
see the resident on TV again but it
wasn't Mr. Carter, it was Cape
Canaveral, Florida.
There was a funny airplane-
looking thing attached to three big
old rockets. The funny-looking
airplane thing was the Space
Shuttle Columbia. The network
announef was rambling on about
some aspect or another concerning
space flight the whole time we were
waiting for the dang thing to take
off. We'd seen Star Wars. We knew
what spaceships were for.
After what seemed like most of
quiet time and a good bit of math
time too, the countdown began and
the announcer quit blabbering on
about nothing. The rockets started
spewing forth smoke and flame, the
scaffolding fell away and the Space-
Shuttle shot off into the Florida sky
real quick-like.
And we all got Space Shuttle
fever. We drew the space shuttle in
our notebooks with those big old
log-sized pencils. We made space
shuttles of Legos
or Erector sets.
We pretended we
were space
walking to fix the
broken tv satellite
so that Tommy's
dad could get his
pay tv.
F think the
whole country-
had Space Shuttle
?fever for a while. I
remember Space
Shuttle t-shirts,
lunchboxes,
coloring books,
magazines, toys.
The Air and
Space Museum
got the bug and
stocked the
museum cram full
of Space Shuttle
exhibits and
paraphernalia.
Not long after
the flight of the
first shuttle, NASA
instituted the
physical
embodiment of
every kid's dream:
Space Camp. At
Space Camp, you
all but became an
astronaut. You got
to work in exact
replicas of Mission
Control or the
Shuttle, bu got to
go through the
astronaut training. The high point
of the camp was a "mission" in the
mock shuttle.
Of course, yours truly never got
to go to space
camp, but hey, I
know kids who
did. And there
was that Space
Camp movie
called Space
Camp.
The fever didn't
last long though.
In the mid-80's,
N.ASA began
their famous
program to
include a
schoolteacher on
the Shuttle. This
didn't come to
fruition until
January 28. 1986.
when the
Challenger was
due to take off.
By this time,
when the TV'
came on during
class, I was busy
drawing pictures of
the X-Men or Star
Trek. Some kids
and I had contests
to see who could
come up with a
better redesign for
the Starship
Enterprise.
(Paramount ended
up winning that
contest with their
Enterprise in Star
Trek, the Sext
Generation, which

putting the finishing touches on the
saucer section of my Enterprise,
which featured bigger phaser rays
than the wussy ones on the old ship.
So I didn't see the explosion. I
heard the gasps of the nerdy kids
who were watching the broadcast. I
looked up to see the cloud and
shrapnel spiraling to the ocean.
Naturally, the bigger phasers on my
Enterprise were not so important all
of a sudden.
I did get to see the explosion
eventually, over and over again in
replay on every news show for the
next week. I think that was the end
of the final lap of the Space Race.
Russia was pretty much out of the
picture anyway, and in a few years,
the Berlin Wali would fall and Being
Better Than The Communists
wouldn't matter anymore. But the
real end was that explosion. The
awe and thrill of knowing that we
sent people into space was replaced
by that feeling you get when your
favorite team comes down off a
winning streak.
The jokes started up. "Why did
NASA switch ro Sprite?"
"I dunno, why?"
"They couldn't keep seven up

continued from page E
all about style, and they definitely
had it.
That marked the end of the
open mic portion of the show. The
opening act of the main event was a
group that hailed all the way from
Wilson, called Pceknuckle. Wow!
These guys literally hopped onto
the stage, picked up their
instruments and exploded. There
was an iota of oddness about the
bassistsinger who was dressed in an
EMT uniform and could easily pass
as a character on ER.
Peeknuckle's first song, "Heavy
Metal Magazine" basically
encompassed the gist of their
sound: heavy! The band consisted
of a singerbassist, two guitars,
drums, and a saxophone?!? Imagine
Helmet and Morphine played on a
stereo simultaneously. That gives
you an idea of Peeknuckle's sound.
They were extremely tight and
highly original. There was a heavy
Morphine influence within the
group. In some songs, they tamed
the guitars and switched from an
, alto to a baritone saxophone and
proceeded to play slow, dark songs
with a melodic groove. They
delivered a set full of original
material and to close it, there were
pyrotechnic flashes and a trashing of
the drum kit. They ended with a
bang.
Following Pceknuckle, as the
crowd stood agape, came Nameless.
Once set up, Nameless brought the
crowd to the front of the stage and
delivered the funk. Nameless
produced the widest variety of
music for the evening including
funk-rock, rock meshed with hip
hop in a 311 style, and straight
forward rock n roll.
Nameless was clearly the crowd
favorite when they won listeners
hearts by covering Pearl Jam's
"Yellow Ledbettcr They
performed a lot of new material
that can be found on their second
album, due out this April.
In between songs, the bassist
decreed that the audience join him
by raising their glasses andor
bottles in a toast to the Real Crisis
Center.
With the crowd in an almost
blissful state, they proceeded to
rock through a few more tunes
allowing the crowd to sing and jump
around to some 311 covers and a
hyped-up version of "Brown Eyed
Girl by Van Morrison. After
delivering almost an hour of music,
Nameless closed with "What I
Got paying homage to Sublime
thus closing their set and making
way for Melanie Sparks.
Usually the headlining artist at a
concert yields the highest fan
turnout. This was not the case for
the Melanie Sparks Band. The
rowdy crowd that supported
Nameless disappointingly
diminished to a weary group of
Thursday night down-townees.
Despite the lack of fan support,
Melanie Sparks walked onto the
stage with high spirits. Before the
band commenced, Steve Bivans of
the Greenville Musicians Guild,
who was doing the duty of MC for
the evening, introduced Melanie
Sparks as being the greatest
songwriter around, which elicited a
blush from the Greenville
songwriter.
With high spirits prevailing,
Melanie Sparks greeted the small
crowd and began.
The three piece, fueled by a
jazzy style chicka-chicka guitar, a
fretless bass and drums opened a
can of jazzfunkrock and continued
throughout the remainder of the
evening.
The highlight was a slow, jazzy
version of TTieme from Pink
Panther" that expressed the
versatility and talent of this band. At
one point, Melanie addressed the
crowd by saying, "If you arc not
dancin you should be, and if we
stick, then you arc not drunk
enough
This was a golden opportunity
for everyone to sec the great variety
of musical talent and styles in the
Greenville area musicians.
Hopefully plans for a tenth annual
Rock For Real will soon be revealed.
Melon
continued from page 6
guitar interlude, "Come Undone"

The band also informed the
crowd that they have been given the
S ahead to record a new album for
ercury Records. In the year since
the release of Bed day Harvest ,the
band has written over 30 songs and
are anxious to get back into the
studio. In the meantime, the band
will record shows starting with
March 10's Myrtle Beach show. The
best of the next five or six shows
will be released as a live album to
tide fans over until the planned
January release of their new studio
album.
To help get fans ready for the
future the band played new songs
like the heartfelt "Southbound" and
the upbeat, true story of "My Ex-
Stepmother is Gay This also gave
the band a chance to judge audience
reaction to the new material. After
the show, the band was open to
feedback about the new songs, in
obvious anticipation of a new
record.
In all, Saturday's show seemed to
be more of a reaffirming show than
just another tour stop. The band
left feeling renewed and happy with
the personnel changes, as well as
pleased with the reception of the
new material. The fans left knowing
that the future of Cravin' Melon was
safe and in good hands. Rob Cray
won over skeptics and the music
won over everybody.

Men close regular season with loss to UNCW
Seahawk offense takes
game from Pirates,
84-14
Steve Lose
SSIiTST SPOUTS KIXTOR
The men's basketball team lost
their final regular season game to
StiC- Wilmington on Saturday.
Several members of the Pirates
turned in stellar performances,
some with scores in the double
digits; however, these efforts were
nOt enough to hold back the
driving Seahawk offense.
Defensively, we could have
done better Dink Peters said.
Peters finished the game with
10 points and three field goals
Saturday while shooting four out of
eight attempted free throws. Six of
those attempts came in the second
half. Toward the end of the game,
the Seahavvk's defense found
themselves facing repeated drives
from, Peters, and efforts to stop
him resulted in shotsfrom the free
throw lint.
The Pirates started the game
strong Although the Seahawks
won the tipoff and proceeded to
score five points within the first
minutes of the game, ECU quickly
caught up. The score was very
close and the lead jumped back
and forth between the two teams.
The Pirates kept up with the
Seahawks for much of the first
half, but by the time the first half
closed. UNC-W had extended its
lead to eight, leading the Pirates
45-37.
"The first half was evenly
played Head Coach Joe Dooley
said. "We both shot 57 percent
In the second half, the
Seahawks never let the Pirates
regain the lead. Despite excellent
shots from the Pirates on the
offensive side by sophomore
Garrett Blackwelder and senior
Othello Meadows, they could do
little more than keep up with the
Seahawks. At several points in the
second half, the Pirates were able
to tie the game but never took the
lead away.
"There was more
participation Peters said.
"Everybody went through a spurt
for three or four minutes. That was
the difference from the last
UNC-W game
"We played much better than
we did during the last UNC-W
game Dooley said. "It wasn't
even comparable. I'm happy with
some aspects, but not others. We
competed at a very high level, we
got good shots . . . but we turned
the ball over at inopportune
times
At the end of the game with
only seconds left to recover a 10
point Seahawk lead, the Pirates
struggled to get final shots to the
hoop. The Seahawks picked up
their final points of the game at
the free throw line to increase
their win to a 10-point margin, 84-
74.
This week. ECT will close their
season as they compete in the
CAA tournament in Richmond.
The tournament begins
Wednesday and goes until Sunday.
"I feel very excited about the
CAA tournament Peters said.
"Everything's behind us now, and
it's anybody's tournament. We
have been playing better as a team,
which will help us going in
"We've played a lot better in
the last 10 games Dooley said.
"We're playing at a much higher
level than we were a month ago. or
even two weeks ago

Swimmers set new records at CAA tournament
Women capture second
place, men come in
third
Damon stvfkord
Stft W1ITH
On Feb. 17, ECU's swim teams
traveled to Hargrave Military
Acjadetny in Chatham, Va. for the
C JkA championships.
Afre?a rocky start on Thursday,
the fiSGU women grabbed second
place In the CAA, finishing behind
conference rival UNO-
Wilmington. The women nearly
pulled off the impossible by-
coming back from fifth place to
claim second oWr thecoiffsc of the
tournament. UNC-W won with a
score of 589.5 while ECU closely
followed with 563 points.
The women's team was led by
sophomore Hollie Butler in the
200-meter
freestyle. Butler set a new
varsiry record in the preliminaries
with a time nearly one-half second
faster than .the previous best set
back in 1995,
Also stepping up was freshman
Brooke Wiic, who finished fifth in
the 200-mctcr butterfly as she
broke yet another ECU varsity
record.
"The freshmen class swam
big Head Coach Rick Kobe said.
Freshmen Alicia Harris moved
into second on the all-time top 10
list as she broke an ECU freshman
record by finishing fourth overall in
the 100-meter breaststroke, and
second in the 200-meter
breaststroke.
"For Alicia Harris, her freshman
record is really big, because the
person whose time she beat went
on to be ranked seventh in the
country in that event later in her
career Kobe said.
Closely trailing Harris in the
200 was ECU freshman Samantha
Perry, who finished third with
ECU's third-fastest time ever.
Other top finishers for the
women's team were Amanda
Atkinson, who finished seventh in
the 100 backstroke, Sandra
Ossman. who placed fifth in the
100 butterfly and Kim Field, who
took seventh in the 400 individual
medley.
"Both the men and women who
set schcHil records for us had just
awesome swims Kobe said. "To
set a record in a program as
established as ours is incredible
The men's team finished third
in the CAA with 441 points and
many new school records were set.
By the end of the competition the
Pirates had held back William &
Mary and placed third by a slim 13
points. Old Dominion stepped
over five-time defending
champion James Madison to grab
the 1998 title.
"The guys finished a solid third
and swam very well Kobe said.
"We set many ECU records and
are very pleased with their
performances
ECU junior Paul Pinther
qualified for first place in the finals
by setting a new varsity record in
the 100 backstroke. Pinther went
on to place sixth with a time of
52.11. Senior Jim Broughal also
finished third in the 100 butterfly
and set a new school record with a
time of 49.90. Other top
performances from ECU's men
were posted by Patrick Kesler and
Brandon Tilley. who took fifth and
sixth in the 100 breaststroke,
respectively.
On the final day of competition,
the Pirates were led by Jarett
Martin, who swam ECU's third
fastest time ever in the 200 fly and
placed fifth in his competition.
The men's swimming team came in third place at the conference championship this
weekend, while the women took second behind UNCW.

Pirate baseball drops to 1-4 overall record

STUF WRITF.K
On Thursday the ECU baseball
team traveled to Elon College to
make up a game that vvas-eflgmatry
scheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 17.
Coming off two consecutive losses
at Clemson, the Pirates were
looking for a win with four games
coming up within the week.
ECU had built a 3-0 lead early
in the game on a solo home run by
Billy Benson in the second inning
and a mo-RBI double by Steve
Salargo in the third. Elon chipped
away at that lead by scoring one
run in the fifth and sixth innings
and two runs in the bottom of the
eighth.
"It was hard for us to lose the
way that we did C)3ch Keith
LeClair said of" the loss that
dropped the Pirates record to 1-4.
The Pirates needed a little
pickup heading into Saturday's
home opener against the Radford
Highlanders, and Ix-Clair provided
one. After his pre-game meeting
with the umpires and opposing
coach concluded, he slid headfirst
into a huddle of his players waiting
to take the field.
"It's not something I'd do
pitched one inning of scoreless
relief to preserve the victory for
Jernigan, whose record is now 2-0.
The second game of the four
everyday, but we needed a lift
LeClair said.
LeClair's momentum booster
worked well, as ECl won the first
game 7-1 and the
second by a score of
8-4. The .lift started
early in the first
game. Freshman
John Williamson
belted his first
collegiate hit, a two-
run home run in the
second inning.
"I've been
struggling and I was
just trying to get a
hit Williamson said.
The offense
continued with ECU
scoring three more
runs in the third
inning and two in the
fifth. Williamson
finished the game-
going 2-4 with four
RBIs. Randy Rigsby
also went 2-4 with
two RBIs. Brooks

game for ECU and

game series started out different
than the first. Radford jumped out
to a lead of 3-0 after the third
inning. The Pirates did not lose
their composure though, and
came storming back in the fourth
and fifth innings. Shortstop Ryan
Massimo led the charge by
belting back-to-back home runs
in those innings. In the fourth it
was a three-run shot and in the
fifth a two-run homer. Massimo
finished this game 3-3 with five
RBIs. Rigsby continued to have a
hot bat and belted his first home
run of the year. Bill Outlaw-
allowed six hits over six innings
pitched and struck out five to
earn the victor Outlaw is 1-1 on
the season. Fulcher came on again
to pitch the last inning. Fulcher
did not allow a hit in either of his
appearances.
"It meant a lot to this team to
w in the way we did. coming back
in the second game, especially
after losing to Flon like we did

Lady Pirates fall to
Old Dominion
Scott Rose
s( I()K whi n K
Old Dominion's women's
basketball team came to
Greenville to play the Lady Pirates
in search of their 16th conference
win of the season. With the 75-36
victory they ended the regular
season with a perfect 16-0
conference record.
ODU, currently ranked as the
nation's number three team, came
out strong in rebounding both
offensively and defensively,
causing 25 turnovers, 17 of which
came in the first half. ODU was
led by All-American candidate
Nyree Roberts and .Aubrey Eblin,
each with 20 points. Trie Lady
Monarch's most valuable player,
Ticha Penicheiro. was outstanding
on the court, leading the team in
rebounding, assists and steals.
She was the only Lady .Monarch to
put in more than 30 minutes of
play time, as she played for 32
minutes.
Penicheiro maintained control
of the offensive and defensive
tempo throughout the entire
game, pushing the ball across the
floor and finishing off plays with
several no-look passes. Roberts
dominated down low, shooting
eight for 10 with six rebounds
The hot hand, however, belonged
to Eblin, who shot seven of 11 and
six of nine from behind the arc.
Although the loss was
disappointing fot the Lady Pirates,
they played strong and with a lot
of heart. The game was the last at
home for seniors Jen Cox and Shay
Hayes.
"GDU is a great team, but the
way I looked at it was just like any
other game that you have to play
Cox said. "We needed to play
smart and we didn't
Looking back at her years at
ECU, Cox said there have been
many ups and downs to remember
as she closes her college career.
"The most disappointing
moment of my career would have
to be the fact that I was hurt for
two years Cox said. "The high
point would have to be advancing
to the conference finals last year.
That was cool
Coach Anne Donovan said the
Lady Pirates played a much better
game than they did in Norfolk
earlier in the season.
"I'm pleased with the way we
played Donovan said. "Wc
played hard, which is something
we did not do in Norfolk. I was
pleased with the execution
Donovan went on to say that
playing against a team ranked
third in the country is always
tough, but their momentum that
helped them come out so strong.
"It wasn't the ranking that beat
us, it was the personnel and the
depth Donovan said. "They
have a lot of loaded guns and they
w ere all firing today. I told my girls
that there was no pressure and to
go out and have fun

From trash to grass: Nagano Olympics
provide low points for special moments
NAGANO, Japan (AP)? Like
an ill-wind disrupting a sunny day,
for every special moment of
Olympic glory in Nagano there
was an incident one would rather
forget.
One painful moment Hermann
Maier would gladly wipe from his
memory ? his horrifying crash in
the downhill that ended hopes of
winning four gold medals.
Flying spreadeagled through
the air for 30 meters (yards) before
bobbing on his helmet and
crashing through two fences.
Maier seemed to escape injury
only by a miracle. It didn't stop the
Austrian from coming up with
perhaps the most memorable-
Olympic line - "Not Lufthansa,
but OK He came back and won
super-G and giant slalom. But he's
still too shaken to look at videos of
the crash.
Thirty meters (ards) is about
twice the distance six chairs and a
fire extinguisher were throw n from
the fifth floor to a courtyard in the
Olympic Milage. This incident
blamed on l.S. hockey plavers
provided one of the ugliest
moments of the games.
Following an embarrassing 4-1
loss to the underrated Czech
Republic last Wednesday, some of
the American professionals
trashed apartments in the middle
of the night.
Ten chairs were broken and
three tire extinguishers were
emptied. Some were thrown on a
courtvard below. Fortunately, no
athlete was hurt, but damage was
estimated a dlrs 3.000.
Apologies all round hardly
assuaged rhe organizers.
"I'm not happy. It's a verv sad
incident. It was a very dangerous
incident Ko Vamaguchi. a
spokesman for the Nagano
Olympic organizing committee.
"I feel sad for them. That's how
thev will he remembered Anita
Del-rant an IOC vice president
from the United States, said of the
players' behavior.
It wasn't the onlv Olympic
trashing at the Nagano Games.
Austria's snow boarder Martin
Freinademetz was kicked out of
the Olvmpics after a drunken
partv at a team hotel damaged a
dlrs 4.0(H) switchboard. "We had
fun. something got broken
Freinademetz said.
For a rookie Olvmpic sport,
snow boarding certainly had a
rough baptism.
The biggest uproar of the
Olvmpics came after a drug test
detected small amounts of
marijuana in Canadian

Throughout the weekend.
Williams racked up seven RBIs.
Ko having a good game at the
plate for ECU was Antaine Jones
and Salargo. Jones went 2-4 and
Salargo was 2-4 with three RRIs.
Chris Shaffer hit his first home
run of the season to help get the
Pirates to their highest run total
so far this season. F.CL pitchers
struggled through the early
innings giving up six runs in the
fourth inning. Freshman Foye
Minton came into the game in the
fourth inning and shut the
Highlanders down. In the 5 13
innings he pitched he allowed
only two hits and no runs to pick
up the w in.
In the nightcap Brian Fields
continued where Minton left off.
Fields scattered six hits and two
runs over seven innings to secure
the win. He also struck out four
hitters while improving his record
to 1-2 for the season. This victory
brought F.CL's record to 5-4 on
the year.
Salargo maintained his hot bat
with a 2-3 performance at the
plate with two RBIs. Salargo leads
the Pirates with nine RBIs for the
season. Additionally. Cliff Godwin
had a two RBI double to help put
the Pirates over the top.

continued from page 10
snow boarder Ross Rebagliati, who
had won the inaugural giant slalom
event.
First, the International
Olympic Committee decided to
strip him of his medal. Canada
appealed and it took an
independent arbitration panel to
make sure he retained his medal.
To cap it off, Japanese police
took Rebagliati in for a long
interrogation on the issue. Medal
around his neck, he was let go.
Rebagliati said he hadn't
smoked marijuana since April 1997
and must have inhaled second-
hand smoke -an explanation that
drew chuckles from some skeptics.
"I may have to wear a gas mask
from now on Rebagliati said
afterwards, and offered to lead an
anti-drug campaign.
Gas masks might have come in
handy to several medal favorites
who fell victim to the flu.
Germany lost figure skater
Tanja Szewczenko, its leading
hope for a medal.
Norway's Adne Sondral. the
1.500-meter speedskating
withdrew before the 1,000. In all
at least some 60 athletes fell
victim to the flu-or said they did.
"I know a few athletes w ho said
after failing to live up to
expectations that it was because of
the flu they got here in Nagano
said Atsushi Sugiyama, deputy
director of the Olympic Village
clinic.
With weather like this, a flu
seemed unavoidable. It had been
said well before the games -
Nagano was no Lillehammer, with
its perfect coat of snow and cold,
crystal-clear days.
No .Alpine skiing schedule has
ever been so tormented as here.
Lightning, fog, snow blizzards,
rain? you name it, nature
provided it, even a minor
earthquake.
"I think to stage the Olympics
here, it's really risky because
everybody knew that Japanese
weather is very unpredictable
Italy's Kristian Ghedina said,
complaining about the barrage of
delays.
"We are getting bored he said.
Swedish hockey player Ulf
Samuelsson would have enjoyed a
chance to be bored with other
athletes.
The defenseman was booted
from the Olympics because he
carried both Swedish and l.S.
passports. "I'm Swedish to the
depth of my soul he said. Not
good enough.
After the ouster, Swedish
captain Calle Johansson said:
"We're dedicating every game,
every goal and every point to him
Sweden lost in the next match to
archrival Finland.
National pride is also
paramount in Japan and it seemed
Tae Satoya was in for nothing but
laurels after winning the freestyle
moguls.
Then she failed to remove a
baseball cap during a flag-raising
ceremony, a serious breach of
etiquette.
She left the cap on because she
"was afraid that her hair was a
mess It turned the next few days
in a mess for her.
Following complaints, Yushiro
Yagi, head of Japan's delegation to
the games said Satoya had been
severely reprimanded. "We, as the
people responsible for the team,
deeply regret this matter and offer
our apologies
Nagano deserves gold medal for
cleanliness, even though garbage remains
NAGANO, Japan (AP) ? After
two weeks of Olympic inundation.
Nagano deserves a gold medal for
cleanliness. Cigarette butts keep
somehow finding their way into
the proper receptacles, and
spotting a litterbugcan actually be
a challenge.
But up in the mountains, one
village has been overwhelmed by
garbage ?and is giving the
overflow to one of its neighbors.
Environmentalists, meanwhile,
are waiting for the snow to melt
before giving the games their
stamp of approval.
As is the case with virtuallv
every Winter Olympics,
environmental concerns have
been high in Nagano, which is
riivd by some of the most
rugged, pristine mountains in
Japan.
Games officials, who are
claiming environmental
friendliness as a major goal, say
their "Green Nagano" message
has been heard.
Japanese cities tend to be
relatively clean, but visitors to
Nagano have been particularly
impressed the past two weeks.
Not only was the city transformed
by the ubiquitous Olympic
banners and signs, it also stayed
virtuallv free of trash.
"Residents are cleaning up
after themselves, and picking up
litter that they happen to see
said Takeji Kurashima. who is in
charge of f(xd and sanitation for
the organizing committee.
Kurashima said organizers have
had no serious problems handling
the garbage generated by the tens
of thousands of athletes,
journalists, sponsors and tourists
who have flocked to this city of
360,(100 for the games.
He said 726 tons of garbage
have been collected at Olympic-
venues and facilities in Nagano
city; an amount that is easily
recycled, burned or buried in local
landfills.
"You always plan for the worst
so that you won't be
overwhelmed he said. "That
hasn't happened
But Kurashima said the influx
of people to the alpine village of
Hakuba, where several skiing and
ski jumping events were held,
proved too much for the local
garbage facilities to handle.
"They have arranged with a
nearby village to handle the
overflow, which has been several
tons a day he said.
Environmental groups,
meanwhile, say they are
concerned by several more
substantial issues posed bv the
Olympics.
Such issues have had a strong
impact on the games.

DILEMMA
I want an apartment. I am so sick of the residence halls. Since when
did sharing a bathroom with 12 other people seem like fun? Laundry rooms
the size of my closet and mat tost more to use than my car. I want my own
bathroom, my own washer & dryer, my own space. I want a place to cook my
own food?no more mystery meat specials from the Cafe.
So how do I do that? The posters up on campus are advertising places
all the time. Every place I've called, though, is either already taken, too
expensive, or with some nut case I'd want to kill after 15 minutes. The
classifieds are about the same. If it isn't a shack, it's $600 a month. Then
there's all those hook up fees and security deposits?do they think I'm made
of money?

But why learn only how to help yourself look and feel better? Have
you ever been envious of those lifeguards who get paid to lounge in the sun?
Why not learn what the job is really all about? As part of the Spring Lifestyle
Enhancement series, Session II of the American Red Cross Lifeguard
Certification class will be offered March 2-April 3 at the SRC Indoor Pool.
The $100 student cost covers books, material, equipment, and fees, and CPR
is includes as part of the course. The course won't guarantee you a job at the
beach, and ydu're not likely to get a call from the producers of Baywatch,
but it will prepare you to make a difference in someone else's life. THAT is
what Fitness and Lifestyle Enhancement are REALLY all about.
i$ it hip to sip? - :??
Have you all been watching Beverly Hills 90210? Or what about some
of those day time soaps? It's all in the media, it's on college campuses and
yeah- it's here at ECU. All the hype is about those "date rape
drugs"?Rohypnol (roofies, R2, roaches) and gamma hydroxybutyrate (GHB,
liquid X, liquid esctasy). The drugs can be secretly slipped into someone's
drink (that drink could even be soda or water). Or in some cases, people
willfully take the drug to increase their alcohol-like effect. Whether it is your
intent to be drugged or not?the consequences can be terrifying.
Along with other effects, these drugs both can cause memory
lapse?you can blackout and wake up (like Valerie did on 90210), slip into a
coma and maybe wake up or you can even die.
So the question is?what can we as students do? Well, we can be
aware! Make sure that we don't leave beverages
unattended at a party, a club, etc don't take drinks
from someone you don't know well and trust,
only accept drinks from the bartender or
server, be alert to the behaviors of your
friends?anyone appearing
disproportionately inebriated in the
relation to the amount of alcohol they
have consumed may be in danger.
Spread the word to your friends and call
Student Health Services (328-6841) or
911 if you believe someone has consumed a
drug like this. So while you may be just
drinking lemonade or cola?watch before you
take a drink?it may not be HIP to SIP. For more
information contact the Office of Health Promotion
& Well-Being @ 6793 or Student Health @ 6794.
Speaking of which, have you been to the grocery store lately? Since when
does a gallon of milk cost two whole bucks? All I can afford to buy are ramen
noodles. What ever happened to reasonable pricing? Fm a coUege student,
for goodness sakes!
You know, maybe this campus thing isn't so bad. I know all my
neighbors, and housekeeping keeps
the toilet paper stocked and the
showers clean. That's more
than I can say for my
buddy Brad's
place?ugh! I don't
have to scratch to
pay rent each
month, and I don't
have to get up early to
beat the a.m. traffic on
10th street
When you think
about it, the. Cafe isn't all that
bad either. It sure beats ramen
noodles for a week straight. At
least I get to choose what I WANT
instead of just what I can AFFORD.
And I never have to eat alone. I've always known at least one person in
there.
When was that Housing deadline again? February 27th? I wonder if
it's too late to see if Jeff's got his room signed up. Maybe he and I get that
corner room over in Scott. I'd better get on the phone and find out. I'd hate
to end up in an apartment.
