SENIOR WRITER
Putting a suspected ring of burglars
behind bars during Spring Break
did not silence the crime wave in
the campus community surround-
ing Tar River and Wyndham Court.
The campus area has been hit With
48 counts of breaking and entering
since early January, including six
reports that were filed just over the
break.
"The campus community is
always at risk said Detective C.S.
Candeler. "We estimate that about
51 cases in the area can be linked to
the suspects (arrested over break)
This arrest couldn't be more of
a step in the right direction than it
was for ECU student Heather
Sauls.
"I left for break On Friday and
when I came back on the following
Thursday, I saw that 1 had been
robbed Sauls said. "They took
all of my electronics: my laptop, my
TV and my VCR
The four burglars suspected of
targeting the campus area had
already been arrested at the time of
her burglary, but they are .still
linked to many others.
Charlie Durham, Donna
Chaffee, Arron Carmon and Gary
Roach were all arrested on March
16, 1998. Greenville Police had
been following Durham and
Chaffee for sometime before serv-
ing the warrant. Carmon and Roach

were brought in for questioning after

The write-in votes will not be
counted due to the fact that the
constitution states that all write-in
candidates must submit an expense
report. All write-ins in the March 3
election failed to do so, therefore, all
of these votes will be null and void.
Voting polls appeared to located

were located in the One Card office
in the back of Dowdy Student

inside the library entrance, Todd

where the automatic teller
machines are located.

Behind Closed Doors
Should male professors be wary of having close relationships with
their female students in or outside the classroom?
Holly Harris
assistant news editor
Social indiscretions
may not affect cam-
pus attitudes as much
as you might think.
Amid the swirl of
sexual harassment
controversy Hinging
from Clinton's seem-
ingly endless stream
of misconduct
charges, to university
conflict surrounding
Dean of Students
Ronald Speir's
alleged sexual harass-
ment of a fellow
employee, it might be
expected that both
students and faculty
would be on guard.
However, a recent
TE� survey revealed
that the pervading
attitude on campus is
substantially more
relaxed.
University policy
prohibits the sexual
harassment of any
student by a faculty
member with clearly outlined rules in the faculty
manual. Professors of either sex are forbidden to
make unwelcomed sexual advances or requests as a
condition of a student's
grade, progress or recom-
mendation, thereby
attempting to avoid the
possibility of making the
learning environment
seem hostile.
There are 759 male
faculty members and
427 female faculty mem-
bers to 10,485 female
students and 7,361 male
students at this universi-
ty. But most students
and professors don't
believe the large num-
ber of people on campus
or the current politically
correct "walking on
eggshells" approach to
avoid sexual harassment
charges is a problem on
this campus.
Accounting Professor
Kenneth Johnson says
he has not really given
the issue much delibera-
tion at all.
TEC found relationships between professors and students
relaxed.

Board of Trustees
voted in meeting before
Spring Break
Andrew I, e l t e v f. r
STAFF WRITER
The Board of Trustees approved a
parking increase of $24 a year for
Faculty, staff, commuters, residence
and Freshman registered vehicles.
The increase was approved during
the Board of Trustees meeting on
Triday, March 13.
The new fee would be $120
yearly. They also increased the
Limited Decals to be increased
from $42 to $60 annually and
Private Decals increased from $288
to $360. This increase will not be in
affect untill July 1, 1999. This
approval acts as a one year notifica-
tion.
"This request for fee increase is
driven by two major construction
projects: Reade Street and Dowdy-
Fir klin Stadiumsaid Layton
Getsinger, Associate Vice
Chancellor.
Reade Street is an estimated
$1.2 million dollar surfacing project
of existing spaces that will include
security cameras, blue light phones
and landscaping to compliment the
surrounding area and lighting
scheme. This project will also cre-
ate 120 additional spaces.
Dowdy-Ficklin Stadium is an
estimated $1.5 million project that
will create 810 new spaces on the
north side of the stadium. The lot
will be utilized by commuter park-
ers during the week and athletic
events in the evening and on the
weekends.
"Students will pay for the park-
ing at Dowdy-Finklin but during
the six home games those 810 new
space will be sold by the pirate club
for over $1,000 each, which will

ST.UF WRITE!
Alpha Omicron- Pi, along wirh the
National Marrow Donor Program,
are organizing a recruitment drive
on April 7 from 4 2-6:00 p.m. in the
Mendenhall Multi-purpose room.
Alpha Omicron Pi is sponsoring
and funding the drive to help
increase the number of leukemia
survivors.
"One of our sisters was diag-
nosed with leukemia at the begin-
ning of this school year said Noell
Ellingsworth of Alpha Omicron Pi.
Any person who wants to donate
must sign a consent form, pay a $40
laboratory fee, and give a small
amount of blood. Donors must be
between 18 and 60, in good general
health and not excessively over-
weight.
"The procedure is not even as
bad as giving blood Ellingsworth �
said. "They don't take as much, so
you don't feel weak or tired after-
wards. When people hear the term
bone marrow, they think it's much
worse, but you're only giving a
small amount of blood
The sorority has raised $2,000
for volunteers who can't afford to
pay. They are asking businesses to
donate money and sponsor poten-
tial volunteers.
"We will test people for free
until our money runs out
Ellingsworth said. 'Those who
don't liave the laboratory fee but
want to help can give platelets.
This is a free procedure that helps
with the treatment patients go
through
Presently there are 3,101,314
donors on the Registry and 6,721
transplants have taken place.
Thirty percent of patients have a
family member who is suitably
matched and
able to donate
marrow; how-
ever, the
chances ofany
two unrelated
individuals
matching vary
widely,
Tw e n t y
percent of the
patients can't
find a match
on the reg-
istry. NMDP
urges people
to volunteer.
NMDP has facilitated 6,721
unrelated marrow transplants
throughout the world.
"As the Registry has increased,
so has the number of transplants
facilitated Andrea Carter, public
relations spokesperson for NMDR-
said.
"Potential matches outside of
the family are greater within the
same racial ethnic group Carter
said. "Minority patients are less
likely than non-minorities to find
matched donors on the Registry
NMDP stresses the fact that
there is a special need for volunteer
marrow from the American
IndianAlaska, Native, Hispanic,
African American, and AsianPacific
Islander communities.
If antigens in the donor's blood '
match, then they are given the
decision whether to donate marrow !
or not. If so, they are given coun-
seling about the donation process.
Marrow is extracted from the back
of the donor's pelvis at an NMDP-
approved hospital. The donor's
marrow replenishes itself within a
few weeks.
Marrow transplantations have
become the only real "cure" for
many diseases.
"The survival rates are in the 40
to 60 percent range for diseases that
would be fatal without marrow
transplants Carter said.

I place, however, they are under the
same roof said Haden Jehnings,
iSGA attorney general.
The Voting poll did appear at
the Croatan during this election
�because it would have been a fire
hazard to run a cord from the inside
;of the building to the outside. The
;poll was replaced and placed at the
'Student Recreation Center.
! According to Smith this was a
I violation of the rules, but could not
'be helped.
Ballots from one voting poll
;were accidentally locked inside the
;One Card office over night, delay-
ing votes being counted officially
I until the next day.
According to Smith this was his
"fault. He was attending an IFC
Judicial Board meeting until 7:30
p.m. and the doors to the Wright
Place were locked at 7:00 p.m.
One TEC reporter found that it
was easy to vote more than once
and without your student I.D
though the location at Mendenhall
did deny the reporter access to vote
without his I.D,
The ballots will be checked
carefully to determine whether
students voted more than once.
Those votes that appear more than
once will be wiped clean from the
election and will not count at all.
"There have been kinks in
whether or not people have voted
twice Smith said.
This election has been very
helpful in determining what
changes need to be made before
the April 8 elections.
"There will be no glitches in the
t April 8 election Smith said.
"Those who vote twice will be
brought in front of the honor
board
SGA President Scott Forbes
hopes that the April 8 election will
go much smoother, though prob-
lems were expected to occur durinj;
this election.
"We knew we were going to
have problems, but hopefully we
won't have the same problem on
April 8 Forbes said. "The univer-
sity changed our voting system,
SGA had to adapt
In the next election, SGA is try-
ing to ensure that there will be
more places outside where stu-
dents will be gathering, therefore
having a much higher voter
turnout.

, "It isn't that I've given it special
consideration Johnson said. "I
think its important that all students
be treated with respect. I do make
sure students feel comfortable; I
don't distinguish between male and
female students
The university's policy on sexual
harassment issues is consistent with
North Carolina general statutes
about creating a favorable work
environment for everyone involved.
Most say it's just a matter of main-
taining a professional attitude. But
with no large cases of professorstu-
dent harassment on this campus
recently there seems to be an atti-
tude that the issue here has been
handled well so far.
"I think things have changed,
but changed for the better said
English Professor Dr. Marie Farr.
"I think more people are aware of
the potential for charges, and the
need to protect particularly women,
from sexual harassment
Women on campus, however, say
they don't feel particularly threat-
ened.
"I've never felt sexually
harassed by any of my male profes-
sors said student Cindy Rayburn.
"I do feel a little more on guard, but
none of them have been suggestive
to me in any way
Most of the women interviewed
felt that while they might feel a lit-
tle differently about their male and
female professors, they had never
had grounds to feel afraid or
uncomfortable either in class, or a
more intimate advisee setting.
"I haven't had an Experience
like that sexual harassment, said
student Natalie Dennis. "It just
hasn't occurred, but I'm aware that
it does happen
Male professors replied that
while they too were aware that sex-
ual harassment was a hot topic, they
continued to go about things the
way they always had.
"I'm more aware of it now, but I
still do things the same said
English professor Hal Snyder.
For now students and faculty say
that on this campus there is a fairly
good system of respect and profes-
sionalism functioning in the
teacherpupil relationship, and until
that is threatened, business will go
on as usual.

Telephone survey targets
sophomore response
First two years of
college critical in
making career choices
Nina M. Dry
STAFF WRITER
Sophomores have been chosen to
help the university find more ways
to improve their services
Currently a telephone survey tar-
geting sophomores is being con-
ducted in order to evaluate the
school's performance.
The survey went into effect on
March 16 and will continue until all
sophomores are called.
"We began calling those who did
not have local' phone numbers list-
ed said Dr. Ken Wilson, a sociolo-
gy professor and director of the sur-
vey research lab. "Since it was
spring break, the chances of getting
in touch with them at home would
be greater
According to Wilson the
research lab chose to survey sopho-
mores because the first two years of
college arc considered the founda-
tion to career choices and planning.
"The sophomores can give us an
overview of their first three and a
half semesters Wilson said. "This
gives us the opportunity to improve
things and also get the opinions of
different aspects such as orienta-
tion, classes, faculty and recreation-
al activities
This is the second time ECU
has participated in this type of sur-
vey. Wilson said if things go well, it
probably won't be the last.
- "We are now making plans on
participating in this survey annual-
ly Wilson said.
The research lab isn't the only
one interested in the opinions of
the sophomore class. Chancellor
Richard Eakin also looks over the
data'compiled in the surveys.
"Your the students'l views will
be used to evaluate ECU's perfor-
mance and will help me decide
where we should make further
improvements Eakin said.
Along with ECU, all the other 16
campuses in the University of
North Carolina system will partici-
pate in the new system of surveys.
Accounting Department offers
free income tax assistance
Students prepare
returns with faculty
guidance
Laura Lee Hines
STAfF WRITER"
The ECU accounting department
is sponsoring free income, tax assis-
tance for students. Beta Alpha Psi,
the National Honor Accounting
Fraternity, provides this annual ser-
vice called Voluntary Income Tax
Assistance (VITA).
Beta Alpha Psi is a new organi-
zation at ECU. VITA is just one of
the many service projects Beta
Alpha Psi members support This
is the third year the accounting
department at ECU has sponsored
VITA, making free income tax
assistance available to students. By
setting up services in the afternoon
to help students with simple
income tax forms for state and fed-
eral income taxes, both Beta Alpha
Psi members and other ECU stu-
dents reap benefits. This service
can save time and prevent
headaches for students as they try
to. meet the deadline for filing their
taxes.
Dr. Mark McCarthy and Dr.
Doug Schneider are the sponsors of
Beta Alpha Psi and oversee VITA
sessions. One of these two profes-
sors is present at all times during
the VITA sessions.
"Students prepare the returns
with guidance from the faculty
McCarthy said.
Accounting students who are
members of Beta Alpha Psi have
the opportunity to get some experi-
ence helping others with their tax
returns by participating in VITA
These students have to take a class

An Open Letter to Students
Planning to Attend Law School
from
U.S.News& World Report
Dear Student:
DON'T YOU JUST HATE TO BE GRADED? Well, by their shrill protests about U.S.Ncws & World Report law school
rankings, so do most of the deans of the law schools you are considering. However, as a law school graduate with both a
J.D. and a LL.M. degree, I can tell you that these same deans will subject you to rigorous grading. You will be required
to endure lectures from tenured professors who have not changed their class notes since the Battle of Hastings. Then,
after attending class for a full semester, you will be given one exam to determine your grade. One exam, one semester,
one grade. One roll of the dice to measure your performance.
At- U.S.Ncws & World Report we are far more equitable (to use a legal term). We have a multi-faceted, multi-
dimensional, sophisticated ranking system developed and evolved over many years to give you guidance on what
may be one of your largest financial investments and certainly one of the most important choices for your career in
law and perhaps beyond. While our law school rankings should not be the only criteria in your choice of a law
school, they should certainly be an important part of the analysis.
�;
Get your copy of U.S.Ncws & World Report's Best Graduate Schools guide on newsstands now. Or, to make it easier for
you to sec the book that 164 law school deans would prefer you not see (notwithstanding their commitment to the First
Amendment), call 1 800-836-6397 (ask for extension 5105) and 1 will arrange for a copy of the book to be sent directly
to you at $1 off the newsstand price This will also ensure that you have a copy of these important rankings because, as
a result of publicity surrounding the deans' determination to have you ignore the rankings, they are a very hot item.
These law school rankings are a small part of our philosophy of News You Can Use information we bring you in each
issue of the magazine to help you manage your life.
. Good luck in law school and good luck on making the right choice.
Kindest Regards.
Sincerely,
CANNABIS

"VITA is helpful in getting prac-
tice in helping other people with
their taxes said Leslie Messcrli,
vice president of service activities
for Beta Alpha Psi.
Students who need assistance

In between the latest Monica Lewinsky jokes on late night comedy shows and catching the
updates on various sexual harassment trials, people nationwide are torn over a very serious
subject. It seems as if every time we turn on the TV, another allegation is being raised, and
the President is not the only one being accused. Recently, Sgt. Major Gene McKinney, the
highest ranking Army soldier was acquitted of sexual harassment and convicted of obstruc-
tion ot justice in a ruling that left a lot of people scratching their heads. At Arizona State
University, Dr. Jared Sakren claims he was fired for violating the school's sexual harassment
laws. His crime? Creating a hostile environment for women by teaching too many works by
Shakespeare and other European men. The issue has come to our own backyard with the
recent lawsuit brought against Dean of Students Ronald Speier.
Certainly, nobody should be forced to work in a hostile environment, but where is the
line between punishing the irresponsible and innocent until proven guilty? People all over
are asking themselves that same question. While that form of behavior is unacceptable
under any circumstances, the possibility exists that the accused could be innocent ECU
students were reminded that false allegations are very reaf when a student admitted she
nade up charges of assault. Just as the ClintonWilley situation seems to be a case of he-
aid-she-said, the difficulty in proving those kinds of charges is creating hostility. Tensions
re rising in the workplace, and if current trends continue, it could become quite a serious
roblem for everybody, including ECU students.
In some classes here, especially in the more creative curriculums, a loose structure and
Intormal atmosphere contributes to a student's education. By dropping the fear of saying
the wrong thing, students and their professors participate in a free exchange of ideas
Anybody would agree that this has helped them to see other sides of issues that they had
Jot considered. When an entire company can be sued because of the conduct of one of their
employees, you have to wonder how long it will be before a teacher gets sued for allowing
�,a student to say something that could be considered sexist. If teachers and students con-
antly worry over whether their ideas are acceptable, the quality of education could take a
nous blow.
"It's something that's on everybody's mind English professor Peter Makuck said in a
ecent interview with TEC. "You'd be foolish not to be concerned. You wonder how you
ould defend yourself in that situation
The best professors are the ones who continue teaching outside of the classroom,
rofessors should be able to cultivate a close teacherstudent relationship with their female
tudents without being afraid of a word being taken out of context, and as a result, having
heir reputation permanently stained.
"Teachers aren't going to close the door when a coed is in the room, for that reason
akuck said, "but obviously, you aren't going to stop caring

Fight better for drinking ag
to the Editor
Dorms provide good experience
In regard to the column by Jeff
Bergman, "Campus Housing Not a
in I would like to offer a dif-
ferent point of view. My opinion
comes from looking back over 25
years. I spent two and one-half
years in a dorm while attending col-
lege. My junior year and fall semes-
ter of my senior year was spent in a
fraternity house and my last semes-
ter in an apartment.
My best years were in the dorm.
I made more friends and had more
fun. The friends I made were more
varied and interesting. In looking
back, I realize I was more a part of
campus life while in a dorm than in
the fraternity house and apartment.
We had a lot of fun while in the
dorm. In the late '60s and early 70s,
we had hippies, panty raids, streak-
ers and you name it; we had it.
However, there was a limit since we
were in a dorm. You could get to
sleep and you could still study in
your room. Not so in the fraternity
house.
Once one decided to live in the
fraternity house, one pretty much
limited one's self to those in the
house. There was no way to study
in the fraternity house and if your
roommate decided to party all
night, you were out of luck because
there was nowhere to go.
By the time I entered my last
semester, I had enough of fraternity
life; my roommate and I moved out
and into an apartment. We went
from one extreme to the other. It
was like going from a rock concert
to a piano recital. I guess it was a
quick transition to adulthood and
the working world. In reflecting
back, I feel dorm life offers the best
campus experience.
Oh, regarding the cost � dorm
living is the cheapest in money, but
the richest in memory and experi-
ences.
Bill Fleming
Class of 1975
there are politicians who do
have something to gain by
lowering the age to 18.
The problem is the majority
of citizens who actually
use their right to vote
are not 18, 19 and 20.
During the break I took the oppor-
tunity to grade a set of papers from
an English 1200 course I teach.
Duly, a quarter of the papers were
written on the drinking age; partic-
ularly; most argued to rescind the
law that states one should be 21
years old to legally drink and to
reestablish the pre-Reagan drink-
ing age of 18. However, the issues
raised have only recently become
more realized in my mind's eye
(mostly due to the insight of the 18-
and 19-year-olds in the class).
The chief arguments were that
if a citizen has the right to vote and
. the right to defend hisher country
in the military, then that citizen
should have the right to purchase
and consume an alcoholic beverage.
However, these are weak grounds
for developing an argument. In
effect, it's not too unlike a sixteen-
year-old who wants to take daddy's
Mercedes out on a date arguing,
"Well, you let me drive my Honda
Civic; why can't I drive the
Mercedes?" And perhaps this type
of wheedling occasionally precipi-
tates dad's handing over of the
keys. Unfortunately, in politics,
laws are not annulled quite so
effortlessly.
Yes, politicians are using 18 to
21-year-olds. The reason they can
allow (in effect use) citizens in this
age bracket to die for their country
yet slap them with $90 fines for
possessing alcohol is because they
allow this age group to vote. And
certainly, there are politicians who
do have something to gain by low-
ering the age to 18: The problem is
the majority of citizens who actual-
ly use their right to vote are not 18,
19 and 20.
Furthermore, for the middle
class 35-to-60-year-olds who com-
prise the bulk of America's voting
population, to elect politicians who
might rescind the current law, the
benefits must outweigh the risks.
No doubt, major alcohol distribu-
tors would love an 18-year-old
drinking law and would stand to
gamer larger profits if such a law
were passed (and in turn politicians
who passed such laws would stand
to make money from these distrib-
utors). But the benefits do not out-
weigh the risks.
Fact is, there would
undoubtably be an increase in traf-
fic fatalities for this age bracket �
an age bracket already marked by
the highest incidences of traffic
fatalities each year. And to major
alcohol distributors who make
enough, from 18-year-olds who can
purchase alcohol anyway (albeit not
as easily as many 18-year-olds
would like) and over-21-year-olds,
the need to fight arduously for 18 as
a permissable age is not pressing.
For such a law to pass, 18-21 year
olds would have to overwhelm
elections in support of politicians
who have connections to alcohol
manufacturers � politicians who
would have something to gain by a
lower drinking age. Unfortunately,
most voters in this age bracket
aren't reading up on Newsweek
and Time, nor arc they studying C-
SPAN to find the politicians that
might change the drinking age. No,
most 18-21 -year-olds, if they arc
anything like I was at 20, are look-
ing for the nearest keg party and
the hottest bar.

3usr siaRT Abusimg and neglects "Weir TWb again
If l had a dollar for
every beer sloshed all over nyr
by drunken idiots,
I could buy myself a
comfortable yet stylish plastic
beer- proof suit.
I sometimes feel that I am made of
some sort of magnetic material that
pulls stupid people directly into my
path of travel. I had no idea that this
breed was growing so numerous
until I got my driver's license.
Something must be done to stop
the stupid from reproducing.
We all know the feeling of dri-
ving along behind the genius who
thinks that 55 is a speed to be
attained only by missiles and space
rockets. We've all been stalled at a
green light behind the brainiac
applying lipstick instead of paying
attention to the world around her
(or him). One of my personal
favorites is the gigantic 1972 hoop-
ty that pulls out in front of me to go
15 miles an hour, then turn off thir-
ty feet later. If these people walked
they would get there faster. And
you people � I know you're out
there � who think that you
become invisible when you step
inside your car, so it's okay to pick
your nose. Yep, I can see you.
Then there are the jerks. They
ride so close to your bumper that
you can see their nostril hair in your
rearview mirror. They slow down
on the double yellow line and
speed up in the passing zone. They
refuse to let you merge when your
lane is ending.These folks do it on
purpose. That's worse than stupid.
It's not only when I'm behind
the wheel that I've noticed the
strange attraction that idiocy has to
my general area. It seems to occur
with great frequency at the "10
items or less" lane at the grocery
store. No one who is ever in front of
me at a checkout knows how to fill
out a check or count out change. It
makes me want to take away their
checkbook and do it myself.
Let's talk about stupidity down-
town. If I had a dollar for every beer
sloshed all over me by drunken
idiots, I could buy myself a com-
fortable yet stylish plastic beer-
proof suit. Oh, and I was innocent-
ly opening my mail the other day
when I came across "The
Downtown Scene a free maga-
zine someone had graciously
shoved through my door. After a
few minutes of wading through
page after page of adolescent potty
humor, I'm about to use it to prac-
tice my hook shot at the garbage
when suddenly I see the "Dream
Shot I think that this is perhaps
the best definition of stupid that I
have come across yet. These pic-
tures are to true pornography what
a line of coke is to true drug addic-
tion � the first step. Okay, give the
general, unpaying public a look at
your almost naked body for anyone
to defile in any way, then tell us
where we can find you on Saturday
night? What is this, a want ad for a
psychotic stalker? Why not go
ahead and list your address, phone
number, and favorite pet so that
your psycho won't have so much
work to do?
It seems to surround me, the
stupidity. People who walk in the
exit door and directly into me.
People who seem to have mis-
placed their turn signal blinker.
People who spit bubble gum on the
ground for me to spend a produc-
tive evening scraping off of my
shoe. It is truly everywhere, and I
can feel it pulling me in. I fear that
soon it will be me who drives in the
turn lane for six miles while simul-
taneously playing incredibly loud,
obnoxious music and picking my
ears. Oh well. You know what they
say. If you can't beat'em, join'em.
But first I've got to go spit off a
bridge into oncoming traffic and
buy a cup of coffee with no lid.

�
A few facts from jazz history: swing
music has occupied at least five
percent of radio airplay since our
grandparents were young go-get-
ters back in the thirties. Although
swing was at its height back then, it
has continually risen back to the
top of the pop culture conscious-
ness since those days. (Thanks Mr.
D.)
What with the national popular-
ity of our great state's own Squirrel
Nut Zippers, the recent hit movie
Swingers and the rise of hundreds of
new swing-oriented clubs all over
the country, it's probably safe to say
that the big bands are on the
upswing yet again, which is fine
with me, since swing is what origi-
nally got me into jazz in the first
place.

ally "the swing band from

Child, La Tavia, Le Toya, Beyonce
and Kelly always thought that they
were destined for success in music.
It was a sign from God that one day
when a picture of the group fell out
of a Bible, there was the word "des-
tiny" in boldface next to where the
picture laid. (That's how the group
started to formulate the name
"Destiny's Child) Since then,

Saint Patrick's Day may have been
on March 17, but for Solas, every
day is an Irish celebration. Their
music was born in Ireland, but is
growing up in America and is
rapidly gaining popularity.
Made up of five highly talent-
ed, energetic young musicians,
Solas is considered one of the
nation's premier Irish-American
bands. With the rising tide of
appreciation for the Celtic arts, the
band, whose name in Gaelic
means "light serves as a youth-
ful, yet no less authentic, represen-
tation of the traditional music of
Ireland.
What began as a quintet playing
a few festival concerts has grown
into a full-time, nationally-touring
band which presents traditional
songs, reels, jigs, and airs. That the
five members�Seamus Egan,
Winifred Horan, John Doyle, Karan
Casey, and newest member Mick
McAuley�are well received is no
surprise, but to what degree they
have been accepted is phenomenal.
With the release of their second
CD, Sunny Spells and Scattered
Showers (1997), the group solidified
itself as the leader in contemporary

the ones that got away
and Altan have achieved.
The band formed as a quartet
when Egan, Horan, Doyle and for-
mer member John Williams, came
together to play a few festivals. The
four musicians had all gained valu-
able experience in such venerated
Celtic music groundbreakers as
Cherish the Ladies, the Sharon
Shannon Band, the Chanting
House and Greenfields of America.
However, they were short a
vocalist. After searching for one, the
band found Casey not too far from
where they all
came together. In
fact, Casey was
Egan's neighbor
in Manhattan.
Casey's impact
on the group was
instant. The
young singer, who
grew up in
County Waterford
in Ireland,
brought a haunt-
ingly enchanting
and crystal clear
sound to the
already fine-

John Cleese once remarked that
the greatest fear of British men is
getting caught naked. I don't know
how accurate he is, but keeping his
comment in mind sure made The
Full Monty a lot funnier. Just
released on videothis low-budget
British comedy has all the naked
British men you'd ever care to see.
For those not in the know, The
Full Monty is about six unemployed
British steelworkers who decide to
put on an all-male strip revue for
cash. And they're not just going
down to g-strings like those wimpy
Chippendales; they're going for the
full monty of the title: complete
nudity. They're average-looking
guys who don't know how to dance,
not exactly the kind of people you

jazz, a genre known worldwide for
its emotional connections Her
vocal abilities are highlighted in
"The Unquiet Grave" and
"Vanished Like the Snow two of
the tracks on the group's latest
release. She also- breaks out her
Gaelic in one of Solas' songs.
As breathtaking as Casey's
vocals are, the musicianship dis-
played by the other members of
Solas is no less awe-inspiring.
Egan's ability to dazzle with no
fewer than eight instruments�
flute, tin whistle, low whistle,
nylon-string guitar, four-string
banjo, mandolin, bodhran (a hand-
held frame drum) and uilleann
pipes allows Solas to offer a contin-
ually varied sound.
Egan's music can be heard in the
films, The Brothers McMullen and
Dead Man Waiting and, as is the case
with all the members in Solas, he
has released his own solo projects,
including his latest entitled, When
Juniper Sleeps, on which he
employed the help of fellow Solas
member Doyle, guitar-picking is
characterized as hard-driving and
his virtuosity in the Celtic style of
play is clearly evident.
McAuley, who replaces button
accordion player Williams with his
own unique musicianship, is a mas-
ter on the Kilkenny box bringing a
more homegrown sound to the
group.
Horan brings to the Irish music
presentation an element of authen-
ticity that few performers could.
Her expertise on the fiddle com-
bined with her ability to Irish step-
dance lends itself well with the
overall band concept of energy and
action on stage.
Horan's talents were put to use
in the classics, performing with a
number of string quartets and
orchestras including the Boston
Pops, before she returned to her
roots performing Irish song and
dance.
First shocLplayed with an all-
female Irish-American ensemble,
Cherish the Ladies, then left to
help form Solas. Her fiery, feisty
fiddle play helps highlight a stage
show that coaxes the audience to
get off their feet and truly take part
in the music.
With Sunny Spells and Scattered
Showers, Solas took a big step, show-
ing that they may indeed have what
it takes to stick around for a while.
The lyrics and music are rich with
story and maturity. The CD has
received critical acclaim in Irish
Echo magazine, topping its list of
top 10 Irish traditional recordings in
1997.
What also gives the group hopes
for staying power is their stage
show.
The five performers are comfort-
able performing as an ensemble,
but when they break into seeming-
ly impromptu duets and trios, the
musical presentation takes on a
whole new element�as if the audi-
ence was being treated to shows
within the show. When Egan and
Horan get together for a flute-fiddle
piece, the impact on the crowd is
stunning. Or when Eagan and
Doyle pair, the acoustics become
near-overwhelming. But there is
more.
The music of Solas elicits, by its
very nature, dance. Dancing is a
large part of the Irish song celebra-
tion and the band does nothing but
encourage it with its expert rendi-
tions of the traditional Irish song.
Crowd-pleasing music, awe-
inspiring vocals, and a contagious
level of energy bring to the stage an
ethnic performance nearly
unequaled.
Virtuosity and versatility, energy
and soulfulness�Solas has only
been around for a few years, yet
they present al that is Irish music
with a maturity that seems to have a
thousand years of history behind it.
Note�Solas will be performing at
7:30 p.m. on Saturday, March 28, at
Graver C. Fields Middle School in New
Bern. Tickets are $12 for General
Admission. For more information on

at Chad's jokes, weakly going along
with all of Chad's cruelty. Malloy
(Simple Men, Mrs. Parker and the
Vicious Circle) is the perfect weenie
(insert second weenie reference).
Eckhart may look like a rich
man's Vincc Vaughn, but his acting
talent goes way beyond that of the
swinger. Eckhart's Chad is king of
the bastards: cruel, hateful, deceit-
ful, selfish and any other character-
istic of the stereotypical "anything
goes" businessman you can think
of.
Dear business majors, watch this
movie. You don't want to be Chad.
Certainly, the movie suggests that
Chad's behavior is a result of the
corporate, power-hungry environ-
ment he is a part of. He goes as far
as to make a trainee "reveal" him-
self before he will recommend the
trainee to a management training
program.
The emotional investment of all
those involved in Chad's ploy
comes to a head at the conclusion of
the film as characters (and audience
alike) must decide how they really
feel.
LaBute has fashioned an
uncompromising story that is often
funny and unsettling at the same
time. Take it to the bank, you will
be riled one way or the other after
you watch it. And when a movie can
have that effect on you, that's an
accomplishment.

they remind you of people you
might know? The sort of thing that
feels like real life?
Yeah, I know. Doesn't really ring
a bell with me, either. Comedy-dra-
mas are few and far between these
days, probably because they
require a little talent to write and
produce, and don't easily lend
themselves to explosions and sili-
con breasts.
But that's why The Full Monty is
so very enjoyable. With its wrinkled
faces and saggy butts, it's a refresh-
ing change from the usual
Hollywood fare. It's a lot easier to
see our own lives reflected in these
men concerned about impending
financial doom and whether they're
really attractive enough to take
their clothes off.
If the humor inherent in naked
men is at the core of the film's com-
edy, then that fear of being naked is
at the core of the drama. All the
men arc a little nervous about strip-
ping, as could be expected. When
Gaz (Trainspottings Robert Carlyle),
" the "mastermind" behind the strip-
ping scheme, brings the idea up, he
meets with resistance and laughter.
But eventually, the men who
signed on out of desperation come"
to sec it as a way to reclaim some
control over their lives.
It's Gaz's best friend Dave
(Mark Addy) who has the biggest
problem adjusting. Dave is over-
weight, and when confronted with
public nudity, he has to face a seri-
ous problem with his own body
image. This kind of problem is
addressed often with women, but
for a big strapping lad like Dave,
even having the problem is embar-
rassing. Though Gaz is struggling to
get visitation rights' with his son and
the other four men involved in the
plan have their own problems as
well, it's Dave who has the most
moving plight.
But The Full Monty is not all
heavy drama and male social issues.
It is a comedy, after all, and a good
one at that. While the film does
poke fun at the men's relatively
unappealing bodies, it does so
good-naturedly. Most of the humor
derives from the strange situations
Gaz and pals find themselves in.
The scene in which our heroes buy
their red leather g-strings is hysteri-
cal, as is a sequence when they get
arrested forpublic exposure during t
practice.
If I sound like I'm avoiding the
details, it's because 1 am. The Full
Monty is, filled with nice moments,
but they're subtle and I don't want
to ruin them with clumsy explana-
tions. Just take my word for it and
see this movie. It's well-worth the
cost of the rental, and will probably
leave you wondering why the only
Oscar it won Monday night was for
Best Original Score.

track are here on their debut
album, as well as ten other high-
energy tunes of equal (if not better)
quality.
B.B.V.D. are actually a small
"big band with only eight mem-
bers. There arc four horns: trum-
pet, alto and baritone saxes, and a
trombone. The rhythm section
consists of the swing standard,
piano, guitar, upright bass and
drums. The band is straight up
Kansas City despite its smallness.
Though. B.B.V.D. are clearly not
just along to ride the current wave
of swing popularity. These cats are
consummate swingers. They really
know how to put it in the pocket.
The songs are bright, jumpy
happy dance numbers, despite
being unusually lyric-heavy. Like
the Squirrel Nut Zippers,
B.B.V.Ds lyrics have been influ-
enced by modern rock and pop
lyric writing. With the exception of
"Go Daddy-O vocalist Scotty
Morris stays away from the basic
repetition and call-and-response
that most classic swing songs had.
Instead, Morris tends to become a
sassy, sarcastic storyteller.
There isn't a bad song on the
whole disc. Fans of Swingers will
remember "You and Me and a
Bottle Makes 3 and "Go Daddy-
0" from the movie. These, of
course are fast-paced, high-steppin'
numbers. Other notable tunes
include "Mr. Pinstripe Suit a
sparkin' spunky song, "Maddest
Kind of Love a creepy but catchy
warning against too much casual
sex (Morris' voice is soooo smooth
on this track) and "Jump with My
Baby which features some of the
best solos on the whole album.
There's some nice collective solo-
ing at the end of the tune that gives
a kind nod back to Dixieland.
This music is above and beyond.
If folks started playing this at senior
proms instead of inviting local disc
jockeys to play the same old tired
radio songs, the world would be a
better place.
Just imagine what the world
would be like if kids everywhere
started swinging instead of joining
gangs. Then, when a totalitarian
dictator wooed the whole country
under his evil, purist, socialist spell,
the "swing kids" alone would be
the ones to resist his evil plans,
even though they, too, would even-
tually fall to his evil schemes.
OK maybe not. But Big Bad
Voodoo Daddy is definitely worth
adding to the CD collection.

they have been determined not to
let anything stop them from suc-
ceeding in music.
So far, they've done a good job
of that.
Taking the world by storm with
their highly anticipated self-titled
debut album, though the group is
still in their teens (16-17 to be more
precise), Destiny's Child is ahead of
their time by dropping an album
filled with smooth beats, sensuous
lyrics and that unparalleled soulful
sound. Though the album only
contains 13 tracks, it is well worth
its price tag. With Beyonce singing
lead, the group delivers what it
promises, that being four lovely
ladies just doing what they love.
The first single off the album,
"No, No, No is a sweet song that
helps you relax a; you listen to its
mellow overtones and smooth lyri-
cal flow. It tells the story of a man
that is in love with his woman, but
hides his affection for her in front of
his boys. (Don't front. You know
you really want it.) The song's
remix, featuring Wyclef Jean of the
Refugee Camp, is also featured on
the ajbum. It tells the same story,
but it is set to a faster beat and is
intended for you to dance to.
Another nice song is "Killing
Time which tells of lost love, but
she hopes that he will return to her
and as long as she still loves him,
she'll be waiting. The song is beau-
tiful and a little down in the same
loop, but it encourages the idea that
true love will never die.
What is bad about the album? Is
there one? Oh, yeah. The only mis-
fire on the album was part two of
the song "With Me The song is
actually good, part one featuring So
So Def CEO Jermaine Dupri, is
cool, but part two featuring Master
P, is a big turn-off. (Actually, if they
dumped Master P and got someone
with talent on the song, it would
have been much better.) That's tlffe
only negative thing about the
album.
But if the sound of the group
isn't enough, the CD includes a
couple of bonuses. The CD not
only has music, it has multimedia.
If you have access to a CD-ROM,
you can watch and listen to the
group's bios, a documentary that
tells of the group's history, and the
entire video of "No, No, No" (part
two). Also included is a bonus
three-track CD entitled Young Soul
Power which features tracks from
Destiny's Child, Jagged Edge and
Kimberly Scott. It's a nice plus.
Wrapping this up. Destiny's
Child will achieve their goals as
long as they keep performing the
best they can possibly do. Keep you
eyes open for anything new that the
group is involved in. When you
pass by the CD at the music store,
pick it up, and when you're pon-
dering whether or not to buy it, say,

and K. Miller dropped from the
eighth position and tied for 27th.
ECU carded 11 th place out of the
12 teams that competed.
The eventful pattern did not
stop for the team, though, since
they were back on the road and
traveling back home to prepare
for the Pepsi Intercollegiate
Friday and Saturday. This
tournament was a participant in
the Rolex Collegiate Tour,
including over 200 men's and
women's regional and national
golf championships.
Once on the familiar grounds
of Bradford Creek Golf Club, the
team's performance improved
dramatically.
"We had a pep talk that wasn't
real nice Williams said. "I
questioned the competitiveness
of the players and told them I
hoped to get more. It's time to
show we're worthy of playing golf
here
This last tournament also
featured three rounds in a two-
day period.
"Back-to-back rounds are
really tiring M. Miller said. "It's
better when 54 holes are
stretched out for three days. And
the weather wasn't real good
either. It was either cold or
raining on and off so we couldn't
play easily
Regardless of these
uncomfortable conditions, ECU
ended the Pepsi tournament in
third place, capturing their best
finish this season.
"I think everyone felt better
about the way they played at
home. We were more relaxed
M. Miller said.
There is only one senior
on the golf team this
year, Kevin Miller from
Erwin, m: Miller was
selected in 1997 as BCU's
Most Valuable Athlete.

SENIOR WRITER

streak on the line. After all was
said and done, the Lady Pirates
continued rheir winning streak to
14 games.
This tournament is not like
any other, lasting for the entire
month of March. When school let
out for spring break, the athletes
traveled to Orlando. There they
play 10 games in five days of
doubleheaders. There were no
winners or losers in the
tournament.
There were over 30 teams in
Orlando. Although the Lady
Pirates did not play every team,
they are the only team to go
undefeated in the month of
March.
"I am extremely pleased with
the way my girls played this
week Head Coach Tracey Kee
said.
On the first day of the
tournament, ECU won both of its
games, defeating Fordham 8-3 in
the first game and Rhode Island
in the second game.
After the first inning in game
number one, ECU was down 3-1,
then scored three runs in the third
and four more runs in the fifth.
After giving up three runs in the
first, Jamie Bendle took control of
the game by keeping Fordham
scoreless. Bendle improved her
record to 5-3 on the year.
In the second game ECU

sixth innings. In the top of the
sixth with a tied score. Dawn
Conrad hit her first career home
run to give the Lady Pirates the
lead in the final inning. The play
proved to be the game winner
along with the solid pitching of
the ECU staff.

win in as many days. In the
second game ECU scored one run
in both the second and fifth
innings to chalk up the victory.
Starting pitcher Denise Reagan
took the victory by giving up just
five hits and no runs. It marked
her third victory in a row and

In the second game the Lady
Pirates scored two runs in the first
and fifth innings to defeat
Vermont, Reagan once again kept
the opponent off the scoreboard
for the second day in a row.
On the fourth day ECU beat
Yale 7-5 and Fordham once again

five wins over break

school record for saves

Jason Thlringer
SENIOR WRITER
During spring break while most
of the ECU student body was
relaxing, the baseball team was
very busy. From March 11- 22, the
Pirates played nine games,
winning five and losing four.
The first of the nine games
was played at Wake Forest. Senior
Randy Rigsby led the Pirates by
bringing in three RBIs on two
sacrifice flies and a single. ECU's
pitchers were stung for 13 hits in
the 11-5 loss.
On Saturday, March 14, the
Pirates opened the conference
section of their schedule with a
three-game series at William and
Mary. In the opener ECU bats
came alive to the tune of 20 hits
which yielded 13 runs. Pirate
pitchers held the Tribe to four
runs on six hits. The nightcap of
Saturday's doubleheader was a
much closer game, but the result
was still the same: an ECU
victory. �
The Pirates completed the
sweep of William and Mary on
Sunday with a 5-3 victory. For the
series Rigsby was 7�13 with 5
RBIs. This strong showing
helped Rigsby earn the first CAA
Player-of-the-Week nomination
of the year.
On the March 17, Campbell
University came to Greenville for
one game. Though the Camels
led for most of the game, the
Pirates came out on top 10-9 with
tremendous efforts from
freshman John Williamson, who
scored a dramatic two-run home
run in the bottom of the eighth
inning. Junior Travis Thomson
pitched the ninth inning to pick
up his fourth save of the season,
which ties a school record for
saves in one season.
The day after beating
Campbell the Pirates continued
their winning streak with an 8-5
victory over Coastal Carolina.
Thomson picked up his fifth save
of the season, posting a new
school record.
The following game was
scheduled for Friday, March 19
against Coastal Carolina in
Conway, S.C, but it was rained
out with no make-up date set.
Eager to reschedule a game date,
Coach Keith LeClair was able to
schedule a game with N.C. State
for April 1 to be played in Wilson
at Flemming Stadium.
The Pirates' CAA home
opener was held on Saturday,
March 21 with the Virginia
Commonwealth Rams coming to
town. ECU's winning streak was
put to a halt at five games with a
12 inning 8-9 loss.
On Sunday the two teams
squared off in a doubleheader.
VCU came out on top in both
games with 7-4 and 5-3 victories.
In the first game on Sunday,
Williamson hit his eighth home
run of the season, which has him
tied for second place in the CAA.

While ECU's football schedule
has been completed for more than
a month, questions regarding
Kentucky's withdrawal remain.
The Pirates will play the
University of Tennessee
Chattanooga on Sept 12th, but
ECU officials are still pursuing
possible legal action against
Kentucky.
Kentucky backed out of the
ECU game because of a
scheduling change with arch rival
Louisville. For the first time in
many years, Kentucky will play in
Louisville. As a result, Kentucky
decided they needed to schedule
another home game, and sent a
check to ECU for 175,000 dollars
to go along with a broken three-
game contract
University Attorney Ben Irons
said that investigation of the
matter is ongoing.
"The Attorney General is still
gathering information from
Kentucky and the University of
Louisville Irons said. "The
Attorney General has requested
that Louisville provide
documents related to the
situation
Irons said that legal action
against Kentucky would depend
on the information that they get
from Louisville.
"Right now it is a matter of
wait and see Irons said.
The cancellation of the 1998
game has disrupted the 1999
schedule as well. ECU was slated
to play in Kentucky next year.
"At this point there are several
holes in the 1999 schedule said
Norm Reilly, sports information
director at ECU. "It would be
premature to rule out going to
Kentucky
Even though Chattanooga is a
Division 1-AA school, a new rule
instituted by the NCAA will allow
a victory over the Moccasins to
count as a Division 1-A win.
To qualify for a post-season
bowl game, a team must have six
wins against Division 1-A
opponents. The new rule will
allow 1-A schools to count one
win against an 1-AA school
towards bowl eligibility every
three years. That makes the loss
of Kentucky easier to handle,
even though a team from the SEC
would be a bigger draw than
Chattanooga.
Irons said that this situation is
highly unusual, but could give no
time-table as to when the
situation will be resolved.

SENIOR WRITER
The ECU men's and women's
track teams kicked off their
outdoor seasons last weekend at
the Weems Baskin Invitational at
the University of South Carolina.
Despite some personnel problems
and a shaky indoor season, the
Pirates enter the outdoor season
feeling confident. The move to
the outdoor circuit gives the
teams a clean slate and formats
that fit their style.
The mens team started off the
REC SERVICES
first day of the competition with
the 4x300 relay. The Pirates'
strong team was hoping for a good
showing from senior Marcus
Gladden, who suffered an injury
in practice the previous week.
"We had a fairly good sized
lead in the 4x3 and then Marcus
just ran as hard as he could said
Head Coach Bill Carson.
Unfortunately, the Pirates lost
the lead due to Gladden's leg.
"Derek Ingram caught up to
the South Carolina guy but
stumbled towards the � end,
because he really gave all he
could Carson sa'd.
ECU finished second in the
event. � �
On Friday the Pirates also saw
freshman Steve Arnold take third
in the 3,000 meters.
The second day saw the Pirate
relay teams shine. The 4x400
team finished first with a time of
3:16.03. The 4x100 team finished
second with a time of 41.58. The
team's finish was made more
impressive by (he fact that one of
the team's regulars was injured
and another was not with the team
at the meet. The 4x200 team
finished third with a 1:26.50,
while the B squad was sixth at
1:28.49. Also the Pirates distance
medley relay team came in
second. The four top-five finishes
on the second day enabled the
Pirates to finish second overall to
host South Carolina.
"We ran fairly well, but we
didn't pass the baton well
Carson said. "We thought we
could win the whole meet
The Pirates come from the
meet with a few key injuries but
confidence from a good showing.
"Now we have to regroup and
get back on the same level with
the guy that we've got Carson
said.
The womens team
experienced a slow start to their
outdoor campaign.
"We didn't run great, but I
didn't expect them to run good
times right off the bat said Head
Coach Charles "Choo" Justice.
On the first day the team was
led. by the 4x300 meter relay
team, which finished third with a
time of 2:47.05. The first day also
saw the field events take center
stage. Freshman Marshari
Williams placed third in the long
jump with a jump of 10.64 meters.
The Pirate throwers got their first
chance of the season to compete
in events such as the javelin and
the hammer throw. Junior Jennifer
Prcvatt placed sixth in the javelin.
Teammate Eva Eiroma followed
in eighth. In the hammer Prcvatt
finished eighth and teammate
Margaret Clayton placed ninth.
Saturday the throwers
continued their strong
performances. Freshman Crystal
Frye placed ninth in the shotput.
Frye also placed 10th in the discus
behind Eiroma, who wound up
ninth.
The Pirates also fared well in
the jumps. Junior Saundra Teel
placed fourth in the high jump,
clearing 1.60 meters. Williams and
Teel finished third and fourth
respectively in the long jump
rounding out a v strong ECU
showing in the field events.
"Our field event girls did
well Justice said. "The jumpers
and throwers did a great job
In the distance events,
freshman Fran Lattie finished
sixth in the 800 with a time of
2:24.94. Senior Barbara Wood
placed third in the 5,000 at
20:17.90.
The 4x200 relay team finished
fourth in 1:45.35. The distance
medley also finished fourth in
4:38.48.
The relays suffered from a lack
of practice due to spring break.
"Our- relays didn t click
Justice said. "Our .handoffs
weren't there because they hadn't
practiced together for a week
Though the meet was not one
of the team's finest, it will prove
valuable later in the season.
"We took 20 girls down there,
and 13 or 14 were freshmen
Justice said. "The experience of
their first college meet should

The ECU Men's Rugby Club
traveled to Savannah, Ga over
the March 14 weekend to
participate in the 20th-annual
Savannah Shamrocks St. Patrick's
Day tournament.
The annual trip by the team
proved to be a successful one as
the Pirates came home with the
championship trophy in the
college division.
Using an intimidating defense
and a potent offensive attack, the
Pirates outscored all of their
opponents by a combined score of
70-10 on their way to the
championship.
The Pirates set the tone of the
tournament in the first game by
defeating Wabash College of
Indiana with a score of 21-0. Eric
Kunkel started the scoring by
taking a pass from Brian Kennedy
35 meters into the try zone for a 5-
0 lead. Brian Best added the
conversion to give ECU a 7-0
halftime lead. The second half
would see continued ECU
dominance as the Pirates added
two more scores by Brian
Kennedy and captain Robert
Manning. The 60-meter run by
Manning late in the second half
capped a nearly flawless game by
ECU as they cemented their
place in the winner's bracket
going into the second game.
The second game for ECU
would prove to be their only test
of the tournament. Facing the
determined and quick offensive
backline of Mary Washington
College, the Pirates were forced
to rely on the aggressive play of
their defensive pack led by
Manning. Mary Washington took
the early lead with a score from 30
meters out and added a
conversion to take a 7-0 lead. The
Pirates would not be denied,
though, and tied the score two
minutes later with a score from
flanker Matt Webb.
With the score tied going into
the second half, ECU kept up the
momentum and kept the
offensive threat of Mary
Washington out of the Pirate zone
for the rest of the game. The
defensive pack of ECU would
once again rise up and save the
day for the Pirates when Kevin
Sellers scored from five meters
out to give ECU a 12-7 win.
In the championship game,
ECU faced a Georgia Southern
team full of confidence coming off
a convincing victory over the
University of Wisconsin. ECU
would dominate the game from
the start, though, and cruise to a
37-3 victory.
The Pirates combined ah
intimidating offensive attack with
a smothering defensive pack to
keep Georgia Southern at bay the
entire game. Georgia Southern
never established an attack and
were harassed all day by a
determined Pirate game plan.
Best led all scoring with one try,
two penalty kicks and three
conversions. Kunkel and Sellers
added one try each, and Kendall
Jones rounded out a successful
day for the Pirates with two trys.
Fans can still see the ECU
rugby team in action at Aycock
Middle School. The Pirates' next
home game is April 4 against
Cherry Point. Additional home
games include Cape Fear on April
18 and the University of Maryland
on April 25. All home games start
at 1 p.m.

most successful international
sports and the sport that American
football came from.

Pirates prepare for -
weekend of conference
action
Mario Scherhaifer
STAFF WRITER
The Lady Pirates used their time
off during spring break to recover
from a five-game tournament held
at Hilton Head Island. The
women's tennis team ended up
with a 2-3 record, defeating
Toledo and Charleston Southern,
while losing their final three
matches to the College of
Charleston, Indiana State and
Bowling Green State.
Their match at UNCW last
week was canceled due to heavy
rain, giving the Lady Pirates
enough time to prepare for their
upcoming games.
"If everybody gets their game
together we can win all three
games in Washington this
weekend senior Mona Eek said.
The Lady Pirates, currently 4-
5 (0-0), will play two conference
games against George Mason
University tomorrow and against
American University on Saturday
in Washington, D.C. They will
finish their tournament at the
nation's capital on Sunday against
Georgetown University.

The game was called due to the
eight-run rule. Isonette Polonius
had two RBIs in the second and
Eek is preparing for her last
home game as a college athlete
coming up on April 4 against Eton
College.
"It will be a very emotional
match for me, but I'm sure that
we'fl do very well, especially if we
can- continue our good game
Eek said.
Unlike the men's team,
nobody in the women's team
suffers any injury. According to
Eek, the women are very
optimistic for their upcoming
games. "Our team has a very solid
bottom, which helps us out in a lot
of our matches Eek said.
"Additionally, Anne Svae and I
are playing our best matches for
ECU in a long time
According to Eek, the doubles
will be the crucial factor for their
matches. "We were working on
that this week Eek said. "I only
hope that the weather will be
good so we can start playing our
first conference games. We are all
fired up
Bad weather also was the
reason for the cancellation of the
men's game last Tuesday against
Campbell University.
The men's team started out
their trip to Columbia, S.C the
week before spring break by
losing against No. 28-ranked
South Carolina University, 0-5.
"Three of the four singles
gamSs were decided in a close
third set, and we even had the
chance to win the doubles
built the lead to four. After one
run in the fourth, the Lady Pirates
scored four more in the fifth.
Conrad and Andrews had RBI
hits in the fifth inning before the
game was called.
On the fifth and final day of
the tournament, ECU beat Army
7-1 and Fairfield 4-0. The Lady
Pirates scored four runs in the
second and three more in the fifth
to give Bendle a seven-run
cushion. Bendle took the win and
improved her record to 8-3 on he
season.
match Stephen Sicbcnbrunner
said.
The Pirates defeated George
Mason 4-1 in its CAA league
opener two days later at Hilton
Head Island, S.C. The match,
delayed throughout the day due
� to inclement weather, included
only six singles .matches. The
Pirates took four of the six,
winning at the No. 2, No. 4, No. 5
and No. 6 positions. Brett Rowley,
Derek -Slate and Stephen
Sicbenbruriher won in straight
sets, while Roope Kalajo came
back to win at No. 2 singles, 4-6,
6-1, 6-1. Kalajo almost had to
forfeit the game due to an Achilles
tendon injury.
"I couldn't even run and had to
drop the first set Kalajo said. "I
don't know how long it's going to
take to be all right, but it doesn't
look too good for the next few
games
On their way back to
Greenville the team played
Charleston Southern University
in Charleston, S.C. Although
ECU's top three singles players
won their matches over the
Buccaneer opponents, they
couldn't compensate Kalajo's
absence and suffered a close 4-3
loss.
On Friday the men's tennis
team will battle American
University in Raleigh before the
team comes back to Greenville
the next day to host James
Madison University at 2 p.m.
In the second game Polonius
hit two home runs to play the hero
role for the Lady Pirates. This
was her third home run of the day.
Solid pitching along with the bat
of Polonius gave ECU an easy
time with Army and Fairfield.
"Even though there are no
winners, we were the only team to
go undefeated Kee said.
The Lady Pirates improved
their record to 16-11 after the
Rebel Games and will play in the
Sports Plus Classic this weekend.

Outside Christenbury 201, a

real Welcome to the office of
the ECU student volunteer
program.
From the size of this small
office, one would think nothing
goes on here, but the opposite is
true. Judy Baker, director of the
ECU student volunteer program,
has more than 7,000 forms, filled
out from ECU students who are
volunteering. "And that's not
counting the students that just
went out ton their own and the
sororities and fraternities that I
talk to about volunteering
Baker said.
The ECU student volunteer
program started
out small. But,
with the help of
Baker, and the
students of ECU,
the program has
68 agencies
ranging from
Adventures in
health to
PICASO (the Pitt
County Aids
Service
Organization.) A
list, provided by
the student
volunteer
program,
contains all 69.
This list contains
contacts for the agencies, what
type of activities they do there,
and what special events they
plan. For example, the Little
Willie Center is a program for
latch-key, home-alone at risk
kids. Volunteers are needed to
drive vans, assist with computers,
be coaches and be Girl Scout and
Boy Scout leaders. The list also
gives addresses on each agency
and contact persons.
Baker said that ECU students
are really making a difference
with their volunteering. Sharon
Schlichting, with the Literacy
Volunteers of America-Pitt
County, says that ECU students
are wonderful. Students have
installed computer programs,
helped with the spelling bee and
have been hostesses.
"We rely heavily on ECU
students says Suzy Walker, from
the Ronald McDonald House.
Dean Foy, with the Special
Olympics, says that throughout
the year his organization receives
700-
8 0 0
students
volunteers.
"ECU students
do an excellent job
Foy said. "If it was not for ECU
students our program would not
be what it is today The program
is one of the
largest
Special
Olympics
programs in
the state.
What can
volunteerism
do for you? It
can help you
gain
experience
that may
help you get
a job and it
can help you
decide on a
major by
actually getting out and working
in your field of choice. Ircan also
help you make a difference in
someone's life.
The purpose of the program is
to keep people volunteering. It
doesn't matter why you go the
first time, what matters is that
you keep going back.
Volunteering is ongoing it
never stop's "It becomes very-
personal Bakers says " You
learn something everyday, and
that is important to me . . . if you
don't learn anything, then why
do you live?"

REAL Crisis Center
provides many programs
Volunteers trained for
variety of crises
Ellen Fletcher
FOCUS SECTION WHITER
It's 3 a.m. and the phone rings
again. A girl is crying because her
boyfriend has broken up with her.
She needs someone to talk to and
right now she knows the person
on the other end will listen.
How does she know this? She
knows because she is talking to a
volunteer from the REAL Crisis
Center. The center is a private
non-profit organization for anyone
who needs help. It is open 24
hours a day, seven days a week
and counseling is free and
confidential. Although it is
known for its phone lines, the
REAL Crisis Center also does
walk-in, group and off-site
counseling.
"We are a vary busy
organization said Tracy Scott,
program coordinator. "We receive
anywhere from 400-450 phone
calls a month. And that's just our
crisis line
ECU students started the
REAL Crisis Center 27 years ago.
It began as a campus organization
set up for drug counseling and a
place for peers to talk to someone.
Today it is much more.
In addition to telephone
counseling, the REAL Crisis
Center also houses the Rape
Crisis Program for Pitt County.
"When they call us, we will
meet them at the hospital, go
through police interviews with
them and even sit with them
through the court process if they
want us to said Scott, who is also
a Pitt County rape victim
advocate. The center is also
trying to start a support support
group for rape victims in the court
system. It would provide
explanations of all the legal terms
and processes victims sometimes
would never know.
The REAL Crisis Center
provides community outreach
programs in which volunteers visit
high schools or local sororities and
fraternities and speak on subjects
such as rape or sexual assault.
The center also provides
information through its Child
Care Options program, a non-
profit child care resource and
referral service that serves
parents, providers of child care
and employees in Pitt County and
the surrounding areas.
"We give out information on
anything from in-home care to
nutritional food guidelines Scott
said. ,
The REAL Crisis Center has
46 volunteers and will be adding
another 20 from the next training
class. The volunteers go through
a 56-hour training
program. There are
32 hours of class
time, twice a week
for eight weeks.
The volunteers
have homework
and are tested on
the material. They
then enter the
center and do a 24-
hour internship in
three-hour
increments.
"We are very proud of our
training program Scott said.
The volunteers, all of whom are
ECU students, are trained in
every area of crisis. They begin
the classes with crisis intervention
and learn the dynamics of
domestic violence, sexual assault
and suicidology
"Everyone is trained for

Mentor program
TARGETS
at risk teens
Students serve as role

Bobbie Perry
FOCUS SECTION WRITER
Sometimes it takes more than a
village to raise a child. It takes a
university, too, as some ECU
student volunteers are finding in
their work with the Governor's
One-on-One Mentoring Program.
Kim Morris, a junior business
major, manages to spend four
hours a week mentoring a 16-
year-old girl who needs a positive
role model in her life. Since
November, when she began
working with the troubled teen,
Morris has rewarded her with the
use of a VCR for regular school
attendance; she has arranged for
her to mother a computerized
baby doll that randomly cries
when hungry, wet or neglected;
and she recently set up an
audition that may eventually lead
to a singing career for the
talented girl.
Ken Dunham, an ECU
graduate student and pre-med
candidate, juggles a job, his
studies and at least four hours a
week working with an at-risk boy.
Since July, Dunham and the pre-
teen have enjoyed going to
movies, reading, roller blading
and just hanging out together.
"It makes me feel good to
think that I have a positive
impact on his life Dunham said.
"But I've learned a lot from him,
too
The One-on-One Mentoring
Program is succeeding, thanks to
such dedicated volunteers and to
the promises made to America's
young people at nationwide
summits heralding 1998 as 'The
Year of the Volunteer
Judy Baker, director of ECUs
student volunteer program,
recently participated in the
governor's Summit on America's
Promise and Volunteerism in
Greensboro. One of the state's
1,000 delegates, Baker said the
highlight of the meeting was
Maya Angelou, who sang a
booming rendition of "The Sun
Don't Shine No More
"She was comparing rainbows
to volunteers who come shining
through just when people are are
their worst Baker said. "She
inspired the audience to renew
their personal commitments to
their communities. I thought,
'Wow! This is what it's all about
I wanted to rush. back to my
office and get to work
The summit pledged to
support America's Promise,
presented last year by General
Colin Powell at the President's
Summit for America's Future in
Philadelphia. Its goal is to
provide the fundamentals
needed to improve the lives of
two million additional American
youths by the year 2000. This
commitment is paying off, said

Program Coordinator Natalie
Edwards. Last year, only 12 of
the 12,685 children in the state's
program ended up in a juvenile
training school. "Think of the.
savings to North Carolina
Edwards said. "Every child in
training school costs taxpayers
$48,500 a year
In addition to the 16 currently
trained ECU mentors, the
program needs more volunteers.
Any mature student wishing to
make a positive impact on a child
should call Edwards at 328-1554.
A six-hour training session and an
annual commitment of four hours
a week are required.
Service organizations are also
encouraged to help with group
activities or by financial
contributions to the program.

Barbara Lee is a volunteer who
spends about 10 hours a week at
the Greenville Community
Shelter on Manhattan Avenue,
cooking food, doing laundry amd
answering phones.
"It feels really good to give
something back to the
community she said.
The junior, majoring in special
education, said she looks forward
to cooking for the residents. Lee
explained that it can be
depressing and stressful to live in
the shelter. She makes time to
encourage and talk to residents
after she cooks.
Lee, a South Hill, Va. native, is
at the Greenville Community
Shelter every Sunday cooking
lunch. She also cooks some
Saturday mornings. Lee said that
cooking is her responsibility
because she made a promise to
cook. It is as important to her as if
it were a paying job. She feels
that if people are going to
complain about problems in the
community, they should get
involved in the community and
volunteer. Lee is the one person
"It feels really good

back to the community
Barbara Lee
volunteer
who practices what she preaches.
The Greenville Community
Center opens at 6 p.m. and is
open until 8 a.m. Residents must
check in during this time. The
shelter has 50 beds for the men
and 28 for the women and
children. Lee says that they never
turn people away. If all the beds
are full, the shelter has sleeping
bags to put on the floor. The
number of people in the shelter is
always in flux. The shelter stays
full in the winter but usually
empty in the summer.
The number of volunteers also
varies. Lee is encouraged by the
number of couples and families
who volunteer through the winter
holidays. She said that whole
families will come in on
Thanksgiving and Christmas to
spend the day helping those less
fortunate than
themselves.
Diana B.
Magoon is the
operations
director at the
Greenville
Community
Shelter. She
admits that it is
very difficult to
put an exact
number on the amount of
homeless people in Greenville.
One reason is that many people
who lose their homes go to live
with family or friends. According
to Magoon, there are more than
1,000 residents at the shelter in a
year.
The shelter offers programs to
help residents. Parenting classes,
GED classes and Narcotics
Anonymous and Alcoholics
Anonymous meetings all prepare
the residents for when they no
longer need the shelter. The
shelter also helps residents with
finding jobs and housing.
Lee is concerned that people in
the community may not
understand what kind of people
live in a shelter. She is afraid that
they are stereotyped. There are
people with college educations
and former middle-class
backgrounds. Lee said that most
people in America live paycheck
to paycheck. A person could have
a college degree and a well-
paying job, but downsizing could
cause a displaced worker to be on
the street in a matter of months.
Judy Baker heads the
volunteer program at ECU
through which Lee volunteers.
Baker said that if people want to
volunteer, they will
make time to volunteer.
Lee, a student and
mother, makes time to
help others. Lee said the
shelter needs people to
volunteer, including
volunteer to babysit
while parents take
classes. Volunteers are
also needed to answer
phones, do clerical work
and help with
maintenance.
Lee is also on the
Board of Directors at the
Shelter Clinic. The clinic
is a volunteer program
through the ECU School
of Medicine that helps
the homeless population.
A free general clinic is offered
Monday nights, a pediatric clinic
every other Wednesday and a
women's clinic every other
Thursday.
Lee is concerned that people
associate volunteerism as a
punishment because the court
sentences offenders to
community service.
"It is not punishment; it is a
reward she said.

Melissa Faico, an ECU
senior, spends 15 hours in
class, but then she spends
another 20 hours working
outside of class and doesn't
even get paid.
Faico, a family and
community service major,
wanted to gain experience in
her field, so she chose to do a
360 hour internship with the
Family Support Network.
Faico works form 11:30 a.m.
to 4 p.m. Monday through
Friday.
Family Support
Network's goal is to meet
the needs of families with
premature infants or
children who are at risk for
developmental disabilities,
behavioral disorders, suicide
attempts or chronic illness.
Family Support Network
enhances the lives of
children with special needs
by working with their
families and the
professionals who serve
them.
Faico works with the
hospital program in the neo-
natal and pcdiatric ward at
Pitt Memorial Hospital.
Here, she makes routine
visits and talks with parents
whose child is in the hospital
or has died. Faico is there to
provide emotional support, a
listening ear, and
information on the child's
condition. She also
recommends programs, such
as Parent to Parent
Programs, which put parents
in touch with other parents
who have a child with needs
similar to those of their own
child.
Along with routine visits,
Faico sits in on -rounds with
doctors. "At first I had no
idea what the doctors were
talking about, but I am
slowly catching on to their
terminology Faico said.
She currently is researching
different types of
bereavement, she will then
write, organize and design a
bereavement packet. She'll
also attend an Early
Intervention Conference in
Winston-Salcm on April
17th, and she will visit other
agencies that work in
conjunction with Family
Support Network. "I am
re ally '
getting .a
feel of
different
agencies
and
different
types of work out there
Faico said.
Faico has taken the skills
she learned in the classroom
and has been able to apply
and use them in her
internship and her future
pursuits. Faico plans to
attend graduate school here
at ECU and hopes to get her
masters in Marriage and
Family Therapy. Her career
