THURSDAY APRIL 2,1998 eastcarolinian Candidates for SGA executive council run unopposed in election CandidateMarcus Frederick drops out of running Andrew LeLiever staff writer For the first time in many years the positions for Executive Council on the Student Government Association (SGA) will run unop- posed. Candidate Marcus Frederick, Psychology professors find justice is not blind Study determined physical appearance does affect verdict Laura Lee Hines staff writer According to ECU psychology pro- fessors Ronald Poulson and Karl Wuensch, physical attractiveness, social desirability and mental sta- bility of a defendant affect how a jury reaches a verdict. Poulson, Wuensch and col- leagues have conducted studies using mock courtrooms to assess how these factors influence a jury's decision in both criminal and civil cases. Poulson has primarily researched jurors' attitudes toward the insanity plea in criminal cases. Over the past 15 years, Poulson and colleagues at Emory and the Medical University of South Carolina have conducted studies using students, community mem- bers and judges as mock jurors. The jurors were presented with real cases to deluSerate. These cases were presented using videos, slide shows and audio tapes. "Jurors are quite complex in reasoning about a verdict Poulsoi. aid. "Jurors tended to take the mock cases quite serious- ly Poulson and ECU student Henry Brown concluded that there are many factors which impact the jury's decision including race and age of defendant, prior hospitaliza- tions, expert testimonies and dif- ferent verdict options such as the "guilty by mentally ill" plea. -Over the past 10 years, Wuensch has conducted research SEE JUSTICE.

"Never can I remember when all positions in the spring elections ran unopposed said Milli Murphcy, SGA secretary. Candidates who will be running unopposed are Eric Rivenbark for president, Leslie Pulley for vice president, Alan Stancill for treasur- er and John P. Mcriac for secretary. Write-in candidates are still eligi- ble for these elections. "A write-in candidate must fill out an expense report by April 6 at 5 p.m stay 25 feet away from the election booth, cannot put their name on the bailor and basically abide by the election rules to be eli- gible for the elections said Bob Smith, election chair. As part of the "Vote 5000" cam- paign initiated by Senior Class President Jonathan Muggins, candi- dates who are on the ballot will be available to the student body to answer questions about their cam- paigns in front of the Wright Place on April 8.

Merit Scholarship Campaign aims to recruit incoming freshmen more competitively Jenny Vickers staff writer A campaign to increase the competitiveness of ECU's merit scholarships follows last year's disap- pointing loss of five out of seven high school seniors who chose better offers from other universities is underway. At the heart of the campaign is a push to increase ECU's endowment. While the endowment, responsible for funding scholarships, has tripled over the last ten years reaching $24.88 million, it ranks 398th nationally. University officials, including Chancellor Richard Eakin, say increasing the amount of gifts and donations to the endowment is the key to increasing the quality of merit scholarships and in return attract- ing more bright, young leaders. ECU's endowment fund ranks 398th nationally. As his top priority. The university is pushing to increase acceptance of scholarships and the endowment. punrn av Mm uii i M PHOTO BY BEN MIUER Eakin aims to raise the merit scholarship endowment over the next three years to $10-15 million. The endowment fund board feels that the schol- arship's low amount is steering away the kind of future leaders who can make the university a better place. Some fear these kinds of students are being lured away by more attractive scholarships. More gifts to the endowment will help increase the amount used on merit-based scholar- ships. The Morehead Scholarship, offered by Chapel Hill, is the most see scholarship page 4 prestigious in the south and has an Rebel mm Pacemaker pvo years running Award equivalent of Pulitzer on college level Laura Lee Hines staff writer The Rebel, ECU's literary and arts magazine, was recently awarded what has been called the collegiate Pulitzer, a National Pacemaker Award, for the second year in a row by the Associated Collegiate Press (ACP). The Pacemaker Award is the most prestigious prize for college journalism and is awarded for gen- eral excellence. The ReM was one of 50 college magazines competing in the competition and received one of five Pacemakers for 1997. The Rebel is a student-created magazine and is currently in its 40th year of production. This is the fourth time The Rebel has won this prestigious award. The 1997 issue was edited by Julie Spivey, who is now a graduate student in the School of Art. When asked how this award made her feel, Spivey said, "It makes me feel like all that hard work was worth it Long hours paid off for Spivey, editor and designer for last year's issue. Other designers on 1997's staff included Pollie Barden and Tim A. Jones. Jones also served as illustrator director. Randall Martoccia was the issue's copy edi- tor. The content of The Rebel is determined each year through competitions. Winning works appear in the magazine. Literary entries are judged by SEE REBEL. PAGE 4 Ordinance outlaws upholstered furniture on residential porches Few warning for violations handed out Hollv Harris ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR Greenville city officials are making a concerted effort to turn Greenville the grimy into Greenville the glim- mering. Last October the city council passed a package of ordinances that included 20 code violations that are viewed as nuisances or dangers to the public health. Among those measures approved was an ordi- nance that makes it illegal to have upholstered furniture on the porch or in the yard of a residence. Surprisingly enough, there have been few warn- ings given for � violations of the ordnance and none of the $50 fines incurred for refusing to relo- cate furniture have been hand- ed out. Mark Johnson, coordi- nator of Greenville's new Neighborhood Services division, said that the low number of problems with the rule is because citizens arc basically com- pliant and that city officials have more pressing things to do. "It's not a major issue, we It's a health issue. Upholstered furniture, can get soggy and with lice and mosquitoes Mark Johnson Coordinator of Greenville's new Neighborhood Services division haven't had any confrontations Johnson said. "It's like writing a ticket for jay walking when you have murders going on every day, we have to priori- tize Ron Kimble, Greenville city manager said that the ordinance is enforced in much the same way as noise viola- tions � there is no action taken unless someone complains. "My guess is that if you put it couch out in the yard and sun yourself and then drag it back in at night you won't have a SEE COUCH. PAGE 4 Barefoot on the Mall moves to Mendenhall Beautification work takingplaceonmall MOHAMED HUSSIEN STAFF WRITER This year the annual ECU event known as Barefoot on the Mall will be held in front of Mendenhall Student Center instead of on the mall. The April 30 event is in its 19th year, but due to beautifica- tion efforts by the university, it will not be held in its namesake loca- tion. "Due to reseeding and other various work being done to the mall. Barefoot will be held outside the front grassy area of Mendenhall said Venessa Cullers, event coordinator. "The new work is being done to make ECU pleasing for the incoming freshman in the fall Barefoot will retain its original name because of tradition and the fact that it will be held on the mall once again after the work is done. "Barefoot will still have all of its previous events Cullers said. As in past years, Barefoot will still offer the same eclectic fare of booths and performances. Mainstays of the day include the inflatable slider, various club booths, artisan booths with face painters and the as-of-yet unnamed quartet of musical acts.

Refund expected from costs of Apple advertising Will sign contracts with middle agents in future Craig D. Ramev SENIOR WRITER The Student Union expects to get most of the $4000 spent on adver- tising for Fiona Apple's concert back before the end of the fiscal year. All stops from the March tour, including ECU, have submitted claims to Apple's management in California. Once the total cost has been figured for all of the March dates, Apple's management is expected to give a refund close to the full amount � or at least most of the funds. "We have been calling them once a week trying to find out when we will get the money said Stephen Gray, director of Student Activities. "It will be this fiscal year The university spent more money in television, newspaper, and radio to promote the canceled show than any other show. So much money was spent because the can- cellation came so close to the show's slated date. "I have a good feeling they will reimburse said C.W. Jameson, Chair of the Popular Entertainment Committee. Approximately 3,000 tickets were sold for the event, just enough to cover the expenses of the Fiona Apple show. Some of the expenses included advertising, audio equip- ment and catering. Apple isn't the first performer to cancel on this university after money has been spent on promo- tions. Busta Rhymes and A Tribe Called Quest canceled, and then paid back any money that was lost. "These things can't be prevent- ed Gray said. "It's just a misfor- tune. I've been in this business for a long time and it just happens The Popular Entertainment committee would feel more com- fortable if a clause were in the con- tract "We are going to try to sign con- tracts with middle agents in the future Jameson said. University officials do have the option of turning to the National Association of Campus Activities for help, if Apple's management decides to argue the $4000 figure. "My hope is that we don't have to go there Gray said. If Fiona's agency failed to pay back an acceptable amount, the Student Union has a reserve fund they can rely on, built by $11 taken out of each student's fees annually. Money not spent from the fund car- ries over to the next year. 11 Mttcfel Monday, Mar. 30 Meeting of Legislation Room 221 Mendenhall �Candidate information booth will be outside the Wright Place beginning April 2. �SGA will have booth during minority recruitment weekend �New SGA logo is being decided on �Organization of Milan has been appropriated $250 LEGISLATORS SAY "I have my own dress" -Adam Hofheimer ABSENTEE LEGISLATORS Keisha Fennell, Dianne Hill, John Lynch, Jen O'Conner, Micheal Papara, Warren Shirmen, Kate Smith, Derek Stone, James Sturdivant, Robin Wilson, Chuck Windell, Leslie Brewer, Joe Donlevy Elections continued from page 1 voted 6,252 times, which is about 13 of the student body.

Forbes said that with a campaign manager, staff members, posters and flyers to deal with, a candidate must be organized. N.C.

Some candidates, like UNC-Chapel Hill's Nathan, use modern technology to campaign. Nathan said that in his campaign he used the web. Each can- didate had passed out sample ballots to show voters how to vote. Nathan's tech- nique was to stand in an area on cam- pus .with a lot of foot traffic and just talk to anyone he could. Forbes' idea was a little more radical.

In addition to the campaign manager, candidates have a volun- teer staff of anywhere from 10-50 people. Volunteers do anything from posting flyers to speaking to students about candidates. Posters and banners cost money. Money is an important part of cam- paigning for candidates.

Dr. John T. Edwards, distin- guished speaker and author of Treating Chemically Dependent Families: A Practical Systems Approach for Professionals and Working With Families, came to the Greenville Hilton Monday to address the eighth annual university Rehabilitation Symposium. "Dr. Edwards' books are used in the ECU Rehabilitation curricu- lum, so it was very appropriate to have him as a speaker for the sym- posium said Dr. Paul Alston, event organizer from the depart- ment of rehabilitation. Edwards is a highly sought after lecturer and presenter, and is on the cutting edge of innovative practift therapy. Dr. Edwards has led more than 400 family therapy training programs across North America and has conducted and supervised fam- ily therapy for the past 20 years Edwards is also an approved supervisor in the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT), and has been on the faculty of the South Carolina, North Carolina and Southeastern Schools of Alcohol and Drug Studies, as well as the Duke University Summer Institute of Alcohol and Drugs. The symposium lasted from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m and was free for stu- dents, $25 for non-students. "We have the symposium once a year as part of our curriculum,4' Alston said. The sympo- sium was spon- sored by the department of rehabilitation studies in the School of AJUcjjgf Health Sciences cooperation with the Student Rehabilitation Association. Dr. Paul Alston and Dr. Lloyd Goodwin played the key roles in organizing the function.

They conquered everything but death. Past world rulers like Alexander the Great, Tutankhamen and Julius Caesar have all had one thing in common: the past. They're stuck in it. It makes more sense to follow a ruler who has conquered death .and a world leader who promises to someday rule the world through peace. Jesus Christ is that ruler.

April 2, 1998 news The East Carolinian Two from facility services finish three week long national program Designed to develop leadership skills Ckaig D. Ramkv StNQI WHITE Two members of the Facilities Services Department recently com- pleted a national program with the Institute for Facilities Management. The program con- sisted of three week-long work- shops in Los Angeles, Miami and Houston'where over 500 partici pants took four core courses and a choice of electives all focusing on facilities services and management. The curriculum was designed to give participants a more in-depth overview of the possibilities of facil- ities services on university campus- es. R.V. Parker, manager of build- ings department, and Ricky Hill, facilities service manager, complet- ed the program in January. It helped develop leadership skills and employee relations Hill said. While in the program, Hill com- pleted courses in grounds designs, building and' renovation cost, as well as building design and legal issues. All par- ticipants are required to take four core class- es involv- ing general adminis- tration and manage- ment, operations and main- tenance, energy and utilities and planning design and construction. "It was very worthwhile Hill said. "I had the least amount of experience in energy and utilities Attendance of the institute is "Facilities managers who are fortunate enough to have the support of management to attend the institute come away with a much better understanding of the job they have to accomplish R.V. Parker Manager of Buildings Oepanmem considered an honor among facili- ties services managers. Currently three other members are attending the institute. "I became aware of the program and was very interested Parker said. Both Hill and Parker agree that general administration and management was the most beneficial seg- ment of the course. "Facilities managers who are fortunate enough to have the sup- port of management to attend the institute come away with a much better understanding of the job they have to accomplish Parker said. This program is strictly for uni- versity facilities managers and is designed to give middle manage- ment an overview of ways to better the university's grounds. � Scholarship continued from page 1 annually. ECU's largest scholar- ship, the Chancellor's Scholarship, is $5,000 annually. This doesn't even cover the entire cost for an in- state student. Resources of merit-based schol- arships are different than resources for need-based scholarships. The former receives money from gifts and donations to the endowment fund, and the latter receives money from a type of federal program. This creates an imbalance between loans and scholarships. � "Out of the $24.88 million in the endowment, $10 million is used for scholarships, and only $3 million of that is for unrestricted merit awards said Jim Lanier, vice chancellor for institutional advancement. "$51.8 million was given in financial aid last year. $34 million of this was in loans and $17 million was in need-based scholar- ships that didn't have to be paid back. Over 50 percent of students received financial assistance ECU spends 44 percent on scholarships. "The rest of the endowment is specifically endowed for chairs of departments and specific schools said Gene Rayfield, Board of Trustees chairman. "An endowment is like a savings account Lanier. "The money invested is never spent, but the portion of the earnings is. We don't spend all of the income. We make sure to continue growing the princi- ple so that the buying power keeps up with inflation. Our total return over the last seven years is 11.9 per- cent. We spent six percent annually and invested the rest ECU is the third largest univer- sity in the state, with a scholarship fund ranking with or ahead of U N C - Greens boro, UNC-Charlotte, U N C Wilmington and Appalachian; however, ECU ranks below UNC-Chapcl Hill, Wake Forest and Duke. "Looking at the merit scholar- ships awarded versus the aver- age merit scholar- ship amount, we are giving more scholarships and less money and UNC-Charlotte is giving less scholarships and more money Lanier said. In records from the Merit Scholarship Campaign Steering Committee meeting, Eakin is quoted as having discussed the "brain drain" and how many N.C. col- leges and universi- ties are losing students to out-of- state institutions who have more scholarship funds. "We are excited about the con- cept of a scholarship campaign Lanier said. 'This campaign is the chancellor's highest priority, one that he is really committed to. A merit scholarship is an investment that raises the entire academic quality of an institution. This will help us recruit better students. Bright, young leaders who are well- rounded, good students, positive role models and strong influences in the communities tend to bring other bright students with them Rebel continued from page I faculty members of the English department and art entries are judged by faculty in the School of Art. Various forms of literature and art are in each issue. Both fiction and poetry are included. Entries in each genre are judged separately. Various forms of art entries are included in the competition and displayed in the magazine.

"It working on The Rebel's staff is a great way to get real-world experience Spivey said. "More people should get involved If you are interested in joining the staff of The Rebel ot submitting a work for entry in the magazine, contact the current editor, Jackie McBride, or go to the Media Board office. Barefoot continued from page I Couch continued from page I problem Kimble said. If the issue is no big deal then why bother to pass an ordinance at all? "It's a health issue Johnson said. Upholstered furniture, can get soggy and with lice and mosqui- toes The package that the uphol- stered furniture ordinance was part of listed other things that the city council and its advisors view as public health hazards or annoy- ances. Included are weeded lots, i stagnant water, trash and debris, appliances kept outdoors, and cars parked on front lawns. Kimble said the city council wanted to review the old codes and make additions to them in order to clean up and beautify Greenville. The list of violations was gener- ated by city agencies that deal with the health and safety of citizens, like the police, city managers office, and the division of neighborhood services. It was then voted in by the city council. A similar rule which met harsh criticism in Wilson, has garnered mixed views in Greenville. Some of those who still harbor the illegal couches in their yards or on their porches think the rule is invasive and unfair while others agree that the furniture is indeed a nuisance. "I didn't know anything about it the ordinance, but we were already going to move it because it looks like a piece of trash on the front porch said Steven Rycc of Delta Sigma Phi. Ryce says he thinks the rule is fair because it prevents the neigh- borhood from looking run down. However student Dan Haught said he thinks the furniture is use- ful, and provides a hangout for guests to his 10th street house. For now, the ordnance has been in place relatively uncontested for five months and city officials say they can't see that changing. "People understand what the rules are and for the most part they follow them Kimble said. But the one difference this year is that the event will not be shaded from the sun by the branches of the trees in the mall. However, offi- cials promise that it will be as fun and exciting as ever.

He first became interested in studying these factors when he served as a juror for a crim- inal case. "Why is it that physically attrac- tive people are given breaks in court?" Wuensch said. After conducting mock studies using photographs to represent liti- gants, he and fellow researchers concluded physical appearance of both litigants does influence the verdict. "An attractive person is given the benefits Wuensch said.

As a result, more students are spending much more time outside. Whether to get a tan, to throw a Frisbee or baseball, to people watch or to simply enjoy the beautiful weather, there are sufficient reasons to pry you away from your couch and televisions. Those enterprising enough may remedy this by hauling their favorite couch out of their home and plopping it down on the front porch. But you better think twice; it could end up costing you $50. Last fall, the Greenville Town Council felt it necessary to pass an ordinance that admirably seeks to make Greenville more pleasing to the eye. Among its provisions is one that forbids persons from leaving upholstered furniture outside their homes. "Persons" should probably more appropriately read "students This is an unnecessary provision that unfairly targets students, who are likely the most infamous of the "couch offenders Some folks may call outside couches "eyesores blaming them for (the always popular) "bringing their property values down A couch isn't an old car without any tires except for the ones lying on the ground around it. No, a couch serves a purpose: it is a comfortable place to sit, talk, rest, sleep or simply to enjoy the outside. The outside couch is popular among students, who don't always have the appropriate funding to make their front porch- es resplendent with charming patio sets. Couches, then, are an economical and intelligent choice. To their credit, the Greenville Police supposedly only enforces the ordinance when a complaint is made by a neighbor. They give the offending party the opportunity to remove the couch. But if they refuse, it could cost them $50. In this day and age, we seem to quick to solve our problems by simply just making more rules, which often leads to more problems. The easiest thing to do if you are concerned about the appearance of your neighbor's home is to confront them. Tell them what you think. Don't hide behind a silly ordinance that will only lead to more resentment. Quite plainly, don't be a couch narc. R to the Editor Women deserve equal pay On April 3, Greenville-Pitt Business and Professional Women's Organization (BPW), Women Business Owners of Pitt County, American Business Women's Association, Women's Network and women in Greenville will be join- ing other women across the country to raise awareness about unequal pay. The day marks Equal Pay Day, it's the point, three and a half months into the new year, when a woman's earnings finally catch up to a man's earnings in the previous year. President Clinton has issued a proclamation declaring the day as "National Pay Equity Awareness Day Governor Hunt and our own mayor, Nancy Jenkins, have issued similar proclamations. According to the census bureau, a woman earns only 74 cents for each dollar earned by a man. African-American men and Hispanic women fare worse at only 64 and 57 cents. These are stagger- ing numbers, especially when you consider that the Equal Pay Act was passed 35 years ago. And here in North Carolina, the wage gap for women is even lower than the national average. In North Carolina, women earn 71.7 cents for every male dollar. Although women's earnings have been slowly catching up to men's over time, the National Committee on Pay Equity tells us that this reduction in the wage gap has more to do with a fall in men's earnings than with an increase in women's earnings. Working women deserve equal pay Unfair pay is a bankrupt policy. But more than that, it's against the law. In this country, we frequently espouse the notion that if you work hard and play by the rules, you can get ahead. But too often, although women play by the rules, employ- ers do not. Working women deserve equal pay because when a paycheck comes up short, their children feel the loss. Today middle class work- ing families are often just one pay- check away from disaster, and increasingly that paycheck is a woman's. The stability of our fami- lies is undermined when we don't pay women fairly for the work they do. Two bills, the Fair Pay Act and the Paycheck Fairness Act, have be introduced in Congress to strength- en existing equal pay laws, but we can make gains sooner than it takes a bill to get through Congress. Employers have a responsibility to analyze their compensation prac- tices and eliminate any wage bias in the system. Elisa P.

Sexual harassment lawsuits, allega- tions, etc. have been taken entirely too far in this country over the past few years. There is only so much sexual harassment that any reason- able person could actually believe to be in fact transpiring in the way in which the laws were designed to prevent and to protect. I am not saying that sexual harassment does not occur or that its occurrence is not a serious mat- ter, but when every day someone is accusing someone else of sexual harassment it just gets to be a monotonous drone. If anyone ever takes time to research what most of the incidents entail, they would find a consider- able number of those incidents to be very petty and very subjective. For instance, in 1993, a graduate student was forced by the University of Nebraska to remove a picture from his own desk of his own wife in a bikini because two fellow grad students complained that the picture was in violation of the school's sexual harassment poli- cy. That is just ridiculous. What is more ridiculous though is that the university was compelled to inter- pret any policy to the degree where that poor fellow had to remove that totally harmless picture. Whose rights are really being violated here? Contrived sexual harassment allegations do not only effect the accuser and the accused, but they also affect entire administrations, companies, universities, not to mention you and me. Advisers can- not even counsel a student with the door shut in fear of the possible consequences. It would be differ- ent if a person accused of sexual harassment could go on with his or her life and career, but that is a feat that could only be accomplished by the president of the United States perhaps. The accused will always have a somewhat tarnished record even if he is found to be totally in the clear. Even feminists (which, by the way, I am not) are now saying that the American workplace is. becoming like a sexual police state Women with high degrees of intelji ligence are being conditioned to- run like babies at any type of look' or innuendo that may � if stretched � have some sort of con-i notation not conducive to the work? ing environment instead of actually addressing the situation in a mature and competent manner. This cry baby mentality is crippling women in ways that may only materialize in' years ahead. j. Once again, when sexual harass- ment does occur, it does need to be dealt with accordingly, but when does the madness stop? Nexti there will lawsuits filed against employers for having Sporttn.

Jimmy Royal ate his Trapper Keeper in the third grade. There were rumors that Seth Mouton ate an abondoned house and had start- - ed on his neighbor's barn, but nobody really believed them. Danny Myers brought a real eye- ball to school and dropped it on the floor in Mrs. Harris' room. And these were the most atrocious things to take place throughout my elementary school years. That is the kind of headline news that should be gossiped about through the monkey bars on the playground. Eleven-year-olds should be in the girl's bathroom applying the wrong color eyeshad- ow that they stole from their moth- ers' purses. They should be hud- dled in a corner of the schoolyard giggling over nudie pictures ripped from an older brother's Playboy. They should be throwing spitballs, passing notes, whispering behind the teacher's back, and being, in general, kids. These are the crimes that 11-year-olds commit. They don't kill each other. Has the world really changed this much in the short ten years since I left elementary school? Think about what we did after school when we were eleven. I spent most afternoons in a tree, with my dog, or - I really hate to admit this- playing with Cabbage Patch dolls (everybody else was doing it too, OK?). So what hap- pened? Maybe the answer lies in what kids do after school now. My first inclination upon getting off the bus was to go play in tha yard. More and more, kids seem to favor flopping in front of TV and watching moral gems like The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and about a dozen spin-offs, all of which involve beat- ing or killing something violently. I went to the movies to see E.T. They go to see Mortal Kombat. But you can't blame TV or the movies (although the producers who aim these things at such a young age group aren't exactly can- didates for sainthood). The fault lies with unattentive parents who don't have the time or the inclina- tion to moniter what goes into their kids' heads; the ones who allow the, viewing of the kind of stuff that � makes adults shudder, and don't provide the knowledge that this is ,? not the way the real world works. They let kids continue to believe the best, way to get rid of a problem" is to shoot it, and back up this beleif with a shiny new shotgun for Christmas. These are the formative years when kids are still learning the dif- ference between right and wrong. At a period that is crucial to teach- ing them a respect for life in every form, they instead see Mom & Dad, jj, come home slamming doors and hear "I'm gonna kill that S.O.B and turn to the television to see the hero stab the bad guy. How can anyone learn to respect life in this popular, coflict-infested environ- ment? It is not one thing in our system that has produced children who kill. It is a compilation of factors in an increasingly violent society that has become increasingly more lenient to violent offenders. These kids don't need to be executed or � made an example of. They need, help. Their parents need help Until we stop condoning violence, , breeding violence, living with it . daily, it will worsen. Ask any inner i city mother who watches her kids ' walk to school every day. It won't go . away by itself � we have to make it I I T 9 Thursday.

In fact, chances arc you probably never knew that Pepsi, one of the most popular soda beverages in the world, was invented right here in Eastern North Carolina. Despite Pepsi growth in the past century, the company has kept its heritage alive. This weekend marks the cel- ebration of that growth as well as the memory of the past with a gala weekend of events scheduled in and around the drink's hometown, nearby New Bern. In 1898, drugstore soda foun- Pepsi through the ages PHOTO COURTESY OF PEPSI tains were popular places for people to gather. In an effort to win over more customers, pharmacists often tried to come up with new concoc- tions to lure in the crowds. It was one such pharmacist named Caleb Bradham that invented Pepsi in his little store on the comer of Middle and Pollack Street in New Bern. As part of the weekend celebration, the restored store, Bradham Pharmacy, will be open for tourists throughout the weekend. Of course, Pepsi will be served and memora- bilia will be sold. Other sights to see during the weekend include the town's historic Tyron Palace gardens and New Bern Academy Museum. Also, at the Bank of the Arts build- ing, there will be a free exhibit of 100 years of Pepsi. This exhibit will feature all the bottle styles Pepsi has ever been sold in as well as the first ever Pepsi ad, a 1909 straw holder and an original letter signed by Bradham himself. But there's more to the weekend than Pepsi nostal- gia. Friday evening, there will be balloon rides available at the Sheraton Hotel, as well as live music downtown. Combine with this the play, The Caleb Bradham Story, and a free concert by Mighty Saints of Soul, and you have a night that offers something for everyone. Friday's festivities will end with fireworks over the Trent River at 9 p.m. Saturday's events start off at 8 a.m. with a Pepsi Walk and a 5K Road Race for the athletic types. Or, if spectator sports are more your type, you can take in the mountain bike race in Cherry Point or the Softball tournament at Fort Torten Park. Both of these events son at 9 a.m. Saturday continues with a parade at 10 before the carnival atmosphere takes over at noon. This is when the Street Scene will start up. This portion of the week- end will include amusement rides, costumed street strollers, games and other assorted entertainment downtown and will run until 6 p.m. Following an evening aerial show over the Trent River, Saturday's events will climax with a show by North Carolina native Charlie Daniels at New Bern High SEE FIPSI PAGE t Lecture details different kind of activism Role of NC wonen emphask Shannon Meek senior writer The slogan "A vote for women's suffrage is a vote for women nag- ging forever" briefly describes soci- ety's attitudes in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Anastatia Sims, a history profes- sor at Georgia Southern University, presented a lecture entitled, "The Power Of Femininity: Women, Clubs and Politics in Eastern North Carolina, 1880-1930 Her lecture focused on how North Carolina women, acting through women's clubs and other voluntary associations, helped shape public politics long before they were given the right to vote. Through her lecture, Sims brought to life an unsung heroine, Sallie Southall Cotten. Sallie Cotten, a farmer's wife, was not a militant crusader for women's rights. In fact, she did not get involved in the crusade until late in her life. She fervently believed in the power of femininity, the power of women in the world to bring about positive change. In 1892, at the ripe age of 46, Sallie Cotten was selected by the Governor of North Carolina to be a lady manager for Columbus Fair in Chicago. It was during this fair, that Mrs. Cotten came in contact with the ideas of women's clubs, clubs that she would start in North Carolina to shape the state for the better. The clubs that Mrs. Cotten start- ed did many things for the state of North Carolina. They persuaded state legislators to help delinquent boys. The clubs established public libraries. In fact, 80 percent of the public libraries are kept alive by these clubs today. They lobbied for better educa- tion for their children. The clubs were responsible for longer school terms, attendance laws and estab- lishing teacher colleges such as ECU. This interest for education led to political involvement. Sallie Cotten, along with the women's clubs, crusaded for the right to serve on school boards. According to Sims, they were told simply that they could not serve on these boards because they couldn't vote. With a ladylike decorum they rallied to be given the right to serve on school boards. They would smile sweetly to reporters as they patient- ly sat outside the legislature. Underneath that facade was a brew- si E ACTIVISM.

Sure, I try, but the multitude of buttons on the con- trollers is confusing enough to induce some sort of psychosis. I'm talking about video games. My roommate is a whiz at all the new ones: Madden Football, Tomb Raider, Twisted Metal, March Madness, Me, I can't figure 'em out. There are, on an average Playstation or Sega controller, four or more but- tons just for steering whatever char- acter you have to steer, whether it be a high-powered armed-to-the- teeth-Mad-Max death car or an archaeologist with the mea- surements of Barbie. Then there are the various buttons for firing weapons, jump- ing, running and throwing a pass. This is all severely compli- cated by the fact that each video game has specific combinations of these tens of buttons that enable one to do a running jump, jump while running, run while shooting and jumping or completing a jump- pass while shooting someone run- ning by. Gimmie the old school Atari joy- stick anyday. Pac-Man is a game I can handle, and even score a few points on. Way back when, in the dawning of the 1980s, I was even privileged enough to see my initials glowing from the screen of arcade games set up in the pizza restaurant near mypartment complex. "JPD" the screen would display in a happy, hummy sort of way. "10,057" it would say to the extreme right of my initials. Sometimes I'd even get to have the honorific "High Score" attached to my initials, letting everyone know that I was, at least in the memory of that particular machine, the best of the best. The arcade was the primo hangout spot for the kids in my neighborhood. Pole Position (a racing game), Tron (based on the Disney movie), Pae- Man (and, for the ladies, Afs.Pac-Man), Spy Hunter (about, well, a guy hunting spies), Galaga (a fancified arcade version of Space Invaders Asteroids (which featured a neato turny control rather than a joystick) were just a few of the , more popular video games in the arcades back then. While it's true that some of the richer kids had Ataris they could attach to their televisions, nothing would beat going down to the arcade and slappin' the old joystick around for a few hours. Arcades became the cultural center of eight- SEE JOYSTICK. PAGE I Children's television awfully complicated. At least that's what I find myself thinking as I'm being drawn to the TV set every Sunday morning at 10:30 to watch Superman: the Animated Series. This is no screech- ing, hyperactive cartoon show I'm talking about here. Superman is fasci- nating, subtle and many-layered. Don't get me wrong; it ain't Shakespeare. It does feature a guy in blue tights beat- ing up super-vil- lains and all the other nonsense you'd expect from a Superman ear- lier perfect match. Clark, unfortu- nately, is just her reporter-sidekick buddy. So the relationship circles. Lois wants to ask Superman out on a date, but she's nervous. Supes responds, but wants Co woo her a Clark. And Clark, though able to melt battleships with his eyes, isn't subde enough to figure out how to get Lois to notice him as more than a friend. Granted, we got a lot of this soap opera stuff on the live-action Lob and Clark series, sort of, but it was- n't even close to being this well- written. And that show didn't make the relationship nearly as believ- able as this cartoon version, either. This is a problem with most Look! Up above the writing, dingy. It's Superman.

Mosdy that seriousness comes from their handling of the classic Clark KentLois Lane relationship. These two characters have been circling each other for 60 years now, and finally married a couple of years back in the comics. You'd think there would be nothing new to do with them. But on this show we're seeing the relationship develop in a differ- ent way. Lois wants a man who's as smart, strong and brave as she is. Clark can't be attracted to anyone who's not as dedicated to fighting the good fight as he is. They're obviously made for each other. There's just one problem: Superman. To Lois, Superman is romantic fiction. Too often we're told that two people love each other but aren't shown why. But since the characters certainly seem to be in love, we accept it and move on. That's not the case orf;1 Superman. Then, of course, there's the sex Nobody's doing the horizontal rumba on-camera, mind you; this is a children's show we're talking about, after all.

This posi- tion was won not bypopular vote, but by appointment This means that if a woman was to serve on a school board, she would have to be appointed by a man. This fight showed the women that their rights were only going to be won by a strong battle. In 1920, the 19th ammendment granted women the right to vote. North Carolina was one of the last states to ratify the amendment (eventually ratifed inl971). Cotten's spirit is still alive today. Many of her clubs are still in existence, such as the End of the Century Book Club.

There's also the running and shout- ing and hitting parts to consider, and they do those every bit as well. The action in Superman is fast- paced and exciting.

And when a massive Space Giant splashes down in the Atlantic, he causes tidal waves up and down the east coast The.word of the day here is "epic The epic feel particularly comes through in the superpowers. They seldom settle for a run-of-the-mill depiction. Even such "standard" powers as super-strength are made awe-inspiring here. Through cam- era angles and foreshortening, they make you feel the weight and mass of the things Superman picks up, even when he isn't straining with them. And strain he does. Even the old save-the-person-(Lois)-falling-out- the window gag can be a challenge for our hero. After all, if he just snatches them out of the air with- and don'ts, De Bias simply pro- vides the readers with straightfor- ward discussion of his views and thoughts. Most important, perhaps, is De Bias' insistence that people owe it to themselves to experiment, try things out and form opinions based on their convictions. One of the best things about Coming of Age however, are the random bits of knowledge De Bias chooses to drop. This book is a ver- out matching their falling speed, he could snap their necks. So there's no boring swoop out of nowhere saves for this Man of Steel. He's got to work for his derring-do. None of this would work, though, if it weren't for the quality of the animation. The character designs are deceptively simple; each line is essential and packs a lot of power. The motion of figures is fluid and complex, a far cry from the still bodymoving lips of Superfriends. It's not quite Disney- quality, but it's still the best on tele- vision. With its attention to detail and well-paced character development, Superman is series television at its best. Granted, that's not saying much when your competition is The Smart Guy, but still, this is good stuff. I like it a lot. But then, you probably already figured that out.

The epitome of arcades was the ingenious mixture of two prepubes- cent necessities: pizza and video games. Called Chuck E. Cheese's, this mecca of all that was good and entertaining featured not only video games, but also sloppy, slathery pizza, Skee-Ball and those cluky animatronic animals that sang diss- appointing renditions of oldies tunes. There waefthat one year when every single one of my friends had his or her birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese's. The animatronics and the pizza got old, but the video games, they were always there to glow and make spacey sounds and make you happy. The combination of restaurant and arcade produced interesting innovations on arcade games. The introduction of food into the equa- tion soon led to the table-video games, where one could play Ms. Pat-Man while eating. Pretty soon there were the sit-down versions of Pole Position, complete with life- sized steering wheel, gas and brake pedals � and a stickshift. The panoramic screen helped complete the illusion that one was really in an Indy race. Nothing could really compare to the cacphany of squeals, buzzes, laser-ray sounds, beeps, and synthe- sized music saturating the air. Nothing could compare to the ecstasy of finally, after all this time, beating Daniel Butler's high score on Centipede. Nothing could com- pare to playing the two-player Tron and beating Adam Lester at the motorcycle stage. itable dictionary of cool ideas. A review of Coming of Age would not be complete without passing along some of the quirkier thoughts De Bias shares. On why one should find a job: living with your parents "just gets too embarrassing On drugs: stay out of Granny's medicine cabinet. On boy toys: fancy cars and boats are often phallic compensations for the absence of real skills or talent. On flying solo: "the Declaration of Independence calls upon you to masturbate Moments like these make Coming of Age in Babylon, Finding Your Own Reality worth suffering through the more condescending parts.

Yaai to Date ttltl it of Max 31 According to Head Pirate Baseball Coach Keith L cC I a i r, senior first baseman Randy Rigsby "has the complete package LeClair is not the only one who thinks that Rigsby is good baseball player. On March 16, Rigsby was selected as the CAA player of the week. "He certainly deserved it LeClair said. "Randy carried us in the three-game sweep over William and Mary. He came up with some big hits As of March 26, Rigsby had a .390 batting average with 24 RBIs and five homeruns, to rank first and second respectively among his teammates. "He's got a combination of both power and contact hitting LeClair said. "He can hit the ball in the gap and steal some bases "I've always loved hitting and I work hard at it Rigsby said. "I don't know whether or not I was born with it, I just like doing it There is a chance that Rigsby's career in the field will not end when it comes time to leave ECU. "Hopefully I'll have a chance John Williamson and Randy Rigsby are years apart PHOTO to play at the next level Rigsby said. "It's something I've always wanted to do and I think I've got a decent chance of doing it in age, but both have the talent to play professional ball. BY CLAY BUCK LeClair agrees that Rigsby's talent will lead him to a bigger field. "I think that he will get that opportunity (to play professional baseball) LeClair said. "Randy is known as a quiet guy, who goes about his business and does it well LeClair said. "He lets his play speak for him. He is a very good defensive first baseman Rigsby added that playing hard and setting a good example is what is important to him. "I'm not much of a rah-rah type of guy Rigsby said. "I just come out here and play hard everyday. Hopefully everybody follows my example One of the younger players who has been following in Rigsby's footsteps is a freshman from Wilmington, John Williamson. Williamson was recruited to play ECU ball by LeClair when he was with Western Carolina. "John has added a lot to the ,team offensively LeClair said. "He has surprised me with his power The freshman has played right field in every game for the Pirates so far this year. "I just try to hit the ball hard and good things are going to happen Williamson said. Williamson started the season with an 0-10 stump at the plate. Unlike most athletes, Williamson Randy Rigsby PHOTO SY HAY BUCK SEE TALE ON PAGE I Men's and women's track teams take big steps toward ultimate goals Athletes compete at Raleigh Relays Stephen schramm SENIOR WRITER ECU's men's and women's track teams took big steps toward their ultimate goals at this past weekend's Raleigh Relays. The women's team used it to search for any progress from the athletes it has. Meanwhile, the men's team used the meet to try new combinations of runners and give younger team members experience at a big meet. "We're at the stage of the season where we're looking for progress said Head Women's Track Coach Charles "Choo" Justice. "We're getting speed in our legs. We're not looking at what we do each week, just what we will do at the championship meets, and we're on track Progress was evident in the performances of the relay teams on the first day. The 4x100 team finished 15th at 48.47. The 4x200 team overcame a miscue on a baton hand-off to finish 11th with a time of 1:42. "Our relays did well Justice said. "We didn't have great hand- offs but we're getting better and we will get the timing down pat The Pirate throwers also competed well. Freshman Crystal Frye finished 19th in the shot put, with a throw of 39'2 Frye was followed by fellow freshman Margaret Clayton, who finished 21st with a toss of 38'8 In the hammer throw, Jennifer Prevatt placed 22nd with a throw of 134'11 The best performance of Friday's action belonged to Marshari Williams, who finished 11 th in the triple jump with 37'6 The second day saw the distance medley relay team break the school record with a time of 4:09.50 en route to a 10th place finish. Junior Missy Johnson placed 11th in the 400 meter high hurdles with a time of 1:03.50. Williams followed up her stellar first day with a 14.82 in the 100 meter high hurdles that was good enough for a 21st place finish. Johnson finished 25th in the event with a time of 14 "We did, pretty well Justice said. "Our' performances are beginning to come around. We are getting some speed in our legs and we had some high finishes The men's team entered the meet placing an emphasis on youth. Head Coach Bill Carson decided to shuffle the lineups so he could get experience for the younger members of the team. However, the same usual faces still led the Pirates into the top 10. In the 100 meter dash, Ramondo North placed 10th with a time of 10.78. North finished just in front of fellow Pirate Titus Haygood, who ran a 10.80. Tyrone Dozier led a host of high Pirate finishes in the 400. Dozier ran a team best 46.67. He was followed by teammates Darrick Ingram and Michael Miller, who finished sixth and 11th respectively. "Dozier is going to be a great athlete much earlier than we thought Carson said. Saturday saw the retooled Pirate relay teams take center stage. "We didn't load the relays so we could look at some of the younger guys Carson said. "The younger guys will give us more depth The 4x100 team placed fifth with its best time of the season at 40.55. They dropped more than a second from last week's time of 41.58. The 4x400 team finished third despite concerns over team member Lynn Stewart's injured hamstring. The 4x200 relay team finished sixth with a time of 1:21. The most pleasant surprise of the meet was 4x200 team member John Twitty's strong performance. "Twitty ran well he shows great promise for the future Carson said.

Men's tennis suffers disappointing 4-1 loss to conference rival Old Dominion university Siebenbrunner posts only victory of die day scott Rose SENIOR WRITER The ECU men's tennis team hosted conference rival Old Dominion on Tuesday. ODU defeated the Pirates 4-1. Stephen Siebenbrunner was the lone ECU victory, winning 6-1, 1-6, 6-3 over Nikola Laca. "Today just wasn't our day Siebenbrunner said. The Pirates may have lost the match 4-1, but the outcome was closer than the score appeared. At No. 1 singles, Roope Kalajo, still playing with an injury, lost the first set in a tiebreaker. At No. 2 singles, Nils Alomar had to retire in the third set after splitting sets with Johan Varverud. At No. 3 singles, Kenny Kirby did not finish, and was up in the second set 3-1 before play was stopped. Play was stopped when ODU earned their fourth point of the match. Brett Rowley also split sets with his opponent and lost it in the third set 6-2. Oliver Thalen was tied in the third set 3-3 before his play was stopped. The Pirates also lost all three doubles matches. Kalajo and Rowley dropped the closest doubles match 9-7 and Alomar and Kirby along with Derek Slate and Thalen lost by the same score 8-3. This was the first point for ODU. "It was a very close match and we played well, we just had some bad luck Assistant Coach Matt Rowe said. ECU is 7-8 overall for the season and 3-2 in the conference.

Golfers unable to recover after shaky first round Team finishes 14th at Furman Invitational STEVE LOSEV ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR The golf team finished the Furman Invitational in 14th place on Sunday. After winning third place at Bradford Creek, the Pirates were hoping to play another impressive tournament, but couldn't seem to get it together. They began the tournament strongly, placing in fifth place out of 26 after the first round, but fell to 14th during the second round, where they stayed through the third and final round. The Pirates arrived in Greenville, S.C with a nine-over par performance Friday, shooting a 297 on the first 18 holes. Virginia Commonwealth shot a 280, finishing the first round in first place with eight under par. Standing between the Pirates and VCU was Coastal Carolina University by one stroke, College of Charleston by two and Ohio State University by four. VCU was too far gone for anybody to catch them by that time. They led Ohio State by 13 strokes after Friday. Sophomore Marc Miller, junior Scott Campbell and junior co- captain Daniel Griffis all finished the first round tied for 16th with a two over par 74. One stroke behind them was sophomore Brian Crawford, tied for 39th. "We started off real well on the first day Head Coach Kevin Williams said. "What hurt us was something that's been hurting us all year. We had one � bad round, and couldn't recover from it. We've got to work that out The Pirates were unable to close the gap for the rest of the weekend. They dropped to 14th place on Saturday with a 23 over par 311 performance. "Our best player, Marc Miller, had a bad day Williams said. "We're not deep enough to cover him when he has an off day. We go as Marc goes Sunday was no better for the golf team.

Because of the tremendous support and organization required for such an introduction, it is reasonable to expect some passage of time before it can be officially instated to the athletic program. Although discussions have been held among the department of athletics, as of this time, no definite decisions have been made concerning which specific sport will be added. Various questions have arisen concerning the the addition of a new sport, and the answers are associated with ECU's growth as a Conference USA member. Since its initiation two years ago, this intercollegiate athletic conference has achieved notable results including increased attendance at games and numerous appearances on television. With such accomplishments at stake, ECU hopes to expand its competitive field and invite more people to participate by allowing a new sport to take effect. Several fellow members of the program have intentions on expanding their athletic programs as well, and consequently, further actions regarding ECU's new sport will depend upon and relate to the directions taken in other schools.

Davis, 20, has signed with an agent and declared himself eligible for the NBA draft. He has hired Glenn Schwartzman of Sports Pro in Bryn Mawr to represent him. Schwartzman said he would try to get Davis an invitation to the , NBAs pre-draft camp in Chicago June 2-5. "If things go well, he'll get an invitation Schwartzman said. "If not, he'll probably go to Europe to play so he can build up his resume. We believe he has the ability to. play in the NBA. "But because he missed a year, we know there will be some questions about his ability he said. St. Joseph's coach Phil Martelli met with Davis several times in the past two weeks to talk about his future. "By mutual agreement, we decided it would be best for him to sign with an agent and pursue a professional career Martelli said Monday. "No one here has any animosity toward Arthur. If he can do something that will help him take care of his family, then that would be great Davis quickly earned a reputation as a dangerous shooter and solid defender during his freshman season, when the Hawks broke into the top 25 for the first time in 24 years and ended up in the NCAA tournaments' Sweet 16. He averaged 14.7 points a game � 17.7 points in the Hawks' three NCAA tournament games. But he was declared ineligible last fall and his midterm grades this spring made it clear that he would not be able to play in 1998- 99.

(AP) � A team in the Western Professional Hockey League will begin play in the Rapides Parish Coliseum in October. An agreement was reached Monday between the coliseum and the yet-to-be-named team. The ownership group includes Chris Roy Jr who represented the team at the meeting. "We are going to ask the community to get involved in naming the team Roy said. "We plan to have a name-the-team contest, and it's really going to be up to the community to name Alexandria will be the WPHL's 16th team. "We can now stop talking about leases and start talking about hockey players and slap shots said league official Steve Cherwonak.

Hoddle is a former Monaco player and reports, starting in France but denied by the club, suggested he would replace Jean Tigana. French national coach Aime Jacquet will quit after the World Cup and reports suggest Tigana will succeed him, even though Monaco has offered him an extension to his contract until 2002. "Glenn is under contract with the Football Association until the year 2000 when, he will take England into the European Championships and hopefully longer than that said Hoddle's agent, Dennis Roach. DHAKA, Bangladesh (AP) � About 200 students rampaged through downtown Dhaka Tuesday to protest having to take annual school exams during the soccer World Cup that kicks off in France in June. The protesters damaged at least 20 cars during the 30-minute rampage before baton-wielding police dispersed them. A passenger in one of the damaged cars was injured. Nearly 300,000 students across Bangladesh are scheduled to take the month-long 12th-gradc exam in late May and June. "We will miss some important matches of the finals because of the tests said Abdul Karim, a protesting student. The demonstrators demand that the exams be postponed until after July 12, the final day of the World Cup. In Bangladesh, soccer is one of the most popular sports, second only to cricket. Harness driver convicted of conspiracy, cleared of fixing races ATLANTA (AP) � As the Chicago Cubs play the Florida Marlins in the season-opener today, Chip Caray finds himself following in the footsteps of a legend � his grandfather. He had expected to be Harry Caray's partner in broadcasting Cubs games on WGN in 1998, not his successor. But Harry Caray died in February. Chip Caray, 33, has clearly established his own identity as a sportscaster, including play-by- play work on TNT's NBA playoffs coverage and Fox Sports Net's baseball package. And he has been host of Fox's Game of the Week telecasts. "I'm smart enough to know there will never be another Harry Caray. I have a sense of nervous anticipation right now Caray told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Monday. "It's like I'm sad, bue excited all at once. I was really looking forward to working with my granddad. We all lost something with his passing. But at ' the same time, we all cherished what he brought to the game. I know all he would want me to do now is have fun and do the best job I can 1)1 CATION �' Ill S I l C II C (I 11 M I OVER ONE MILLION OF v THE BEST MINDS IN AMERICA HAVE ALREADY CHOSEN THE BEST RETIREMENT SYSTEM. j TIAA-CREE FREEHOLD, N.J. (AP) � A leading harness driver for Freehold Raceway has been convicted of conspiring to fix races there in 1995 but cleared of charges that he tried to rig them. Richard Wojcio, 37, of Freehold, faces up to five years in prison when he is sentenced June 19. He was charged in September in a 10-count indictment with conspiracy, theft by deception and rigging an exhibition contest. "The conspiracy conviction disqualifies Wojcio from ever getting a license to compete, meaning his racing career in New Jersey is over said Frank Zanzuccki, executive director of the New Jersey Racing Commission. Zanzuccki said the conviction could also prompt racing officials to ban Wojcio from entering a New Jersey racetrack. fDirrgJrgJrgJrgJrglrzJrgJrgjr; WSi3MSMSM5MSISMSMSMi Utah Utes try to look past disappointment SALT LAKE CITY (AP) � The pep rally and parade are still on for the Runnin' Utes, who made it further than any Utah team in 54 years before falling 78-69 to Kentucky in the championship game Monday night. "Win or lose, they did an outstanding'job said Donna Tanner, one of 4,000 fans who watched hope fade as the Utes let a 10-point half-time lead slip away. Fans gathered at the Huntsman Center, where the game was broadcast' from San Antonio. Coach Rick Majerus and the Utes were due back in town late Tuesday afternoon, and fans were preparing to descend on them at the airport and at a pep rally in the Huntsman Center on the University of Utah campus.

So getting a job is often as important as getting into that class you need to graduate. 'About 12,000 to 13,000 students work on campus. Many qf these students start job ; hunting in the office of financial aid, located in the Old Cafeteria Building on Central Campus. The office offers 500 work- study jobs, each year, aoefefrding to Rose Mary Stelma, director of financial aid. "I wish we could have 2,000 students working Stelma said. "More students do want jobs on campus and the response is better this year. Work-study students feel more of a part of ECU "Students can apply for the work-study program on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form. The student receives a financial aid summary report indicating whether or not the student has received the aid. The federal government only allows a certain amount of money a year for this program. This is the reason the number of work- study students on campus is limited. If the student has received work-study, he or - she is allotted a certain amount of money per year to work. For the 1997-98 school year, students were allowed $1600, which is an increase of $600 over what was offered last year. This was a result of the increase in minimum wage. But finding the job is up to the student. Job positions are posted on the bulletin board outside the office. Students can choose from a variety of jobs including office computer data She works at Minges Coliseum in the Recreation and Leisure Studies Office. "I went to the office of financial aid and looked on the board for the highest paying job E v c r e 11 e said. "I wanted to work on campus because it w a s convenient and I didn't need a car to get to my job Other jobs on campus are called "self-help" and are offered by organizations that have allotted a certain amount of funds for a '7 wish we could have 2,000 students working.

Crystal Everette, a sophomore majoring in therapeutic- recreation, found her job by searching the bulletin board. student worker. The Financial Aid Office is not involved in this process. Students must inquire about these jobs through the department for which they are interested in working. Still more campus jobs are also available. These, jobs are obtained the same way you'd get a job anywhere. You must go through an application and 120 mph Swain works fast interview process. For example, working in the dining halls or the Wright Place would not require work-study. Crystal Moore, a sophomore biology major, works as a cashier at the Wright Place. She decided to work on campus because she lives on campus and has no transportation. Moore said her job was easy to get through the regular application and interview process. "I decided I wanted a job and applied at the ARAMARK office in Mendenhall Moore said. And what do students think about jobs on campus? "On-campus jobs are iust a way for students to make money Moore said. "They can't provide experience. The employers cater to your schedule and this is not like the real world. In the real world, you must go to work whether you want to or not. No one will work around your classes or exams But Everette believes you can get some valuable experience working with the public. "Some jobs can provide experience Everette said. "You can learn to deal with different attitudes of the public Theodis Broddy, a junior history major, works at concession stands at football, baseball and basketball games at ECU. Fie wanted a job because he needed money. He opted to work on campus because other places he tried were not hiring. "I meet a student and am given about five minutes to earn their trust enough to make the jump. I have not had one dissatisfied customer yet Desson Swain Skydiving offers unusual job A LICU WILFONG FOCUS SECTION WRITER Deeson Swain has a weekend job free falling at 120 mph from airplanes 14,000 ft in the air. He is one of many ECU students with unusual jobs. Swain, a junior business major, is a skydiving instructor for Carolina Sky Sport in Louisburg, N.C. Most college students earn money as sales clerks, waiters and waitresses or at other common jobs. But like Swain, some students find unique ways to pay their bills. As an instructor, Swain teaches basic jumping techniques then makes a tandem jump with a student. The jump includes being harnessed to a student, ensuring a safe return to the ground. "I meet a student and am given about five minutes to earn their trust enough to make the jump Swain said. As an instructor, he has made about 200 tandem jumps. "I have not had one dissatisfied customer yet he said. First-time jumpers are his favorite. "They are the most exciting according to Swain. "You only get one first jump Skydiving as a hobby or as a job continues to be an adventure evey time. Swain says, each time you step out of the plane, "you bet your life" that everything is going to go according to plan. Swain, 20, has made approximately 700 solo jumps since he first began skydiving. Other types of jumps he has completed include demonstration, ' free-falling photography, night jumps and water jumps. His highest jump was 19,000 feet in the air, which required breathing in oxygen on the way up. Another unusual job is plaaying PeeDee the Pirate, ECU's mascot, Senior Anthony Bailey, who plays PeeDee, was the back- up mascot for the Carolina Mudcats AA baseball team last ECU junior summer. To most people PeeDee is simply a character. But kids do not see him the same way. "When you're looking through the eyes of a child, it's like seeing Santa Claus said Bailey. PeeDee was recently in a parade and gave a hug to one of the children in the crowd who was in a wheelchair. This simple gesture left a lasting impression on the community and on the child, Bailey says. Bailey later found out the child had cerebral palsy and accepted an invitation to visit the child's house on Christmas Day. Bailey arrived as PeeDee, bringing sparkles to the young boy's eyes. v Bailey does not receive a paycheck for his work, but he says it's worth carrying around an extra 15-pound wardrobe. It's not just for the love for ECU; it's for the kids also, he said! Similar to Swain and Bailey, Brent Anderson also has an unusual job. Anderson, a junior public relations major, is a soccer coach and referee for Greenville Recreation and Park for youth ages 5-18 years old. Working with the youth during the week, Anderson has become a role model in their lives. "They look up to you he said. "It's very rewarding These are just a few of our students who have out of theJ 3 Thursday. April 2, 1998 taUSscdion The East Carolinian Students find experience helps face real work Associate (degree provides Smith with skills Chris Tltino FOCUS SECTION WRITEK Like most ECU students, Nathan Smith holds down a job while going to college. "I work for the money said the senior industrial technology major. Smith, an FAA certified aircraft mechanic at Seagrave Aviation, received his associate of science degree in aircraft maintenance from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Fla. He has worked several jobs in the aviation industry including ones at Dillon's Aviation and Mounftin Air Cargo in Kinston. Working at Seagrave has provided Smith with a flexible work schedule and a convenient job location. The reasons for working and going to school depend on the individual. While working does provide money for tuition, books, bills and spending money, students also derive other benefits such as gaining valuable work experience. "More and more I'm finding that the experience is a lot more valuable than the money I'm making Smith said, whose interests are in the technological advancements of the transportation industry. "The immediate income is necessary now, but the income I will be receiving due to my education is more important Holding down a job while going to school can also teach students how to manage their time. Sophomore music major Bert Williams works two jobs and is a part-time student at ECU. Williams works more than 30 hours a week at J.C. Penney and Sappari Japanese Steak House. "I feel that if I have too much free time I'm not being productive Williams said. Shannon Slade, a junior decision science major and part- time data entry specialist at Eastern Area Health Education Center (EAHEC), works'to earn money and gain experience in her field. "I don't know how students don't work Slade said, who found her job through the Cooperative Education ' program at ECU. Results from a survey conducted during last summer's freshman orientation showed that students wo&k to pay for theif -students to manage their time expenses and gain valuable work better Assistant Director of Financial Aid Services Karen Barbee said. "You have to budget your time Williams said. "When you get out of work you don't want to go straight to the books. You want to just sit down and relax. But that time that you have out of work need to use for that's why it's experience. More than half said there was some chance that they would work to pay for college expenses, said Kris . Smith, assistant vice chancellor for Student Life and director of Research Assessment and Testing. Less than half said that their plans included employment during their first semester. Of the students who said they would work, more than half said they plan to pay for clothing and other personal care items, tuition and books and to gain valuable work experience. Working and going to school is not easy With tests, class assignments and a job, many students find themselves with full schedules that can create stress. .Such stress might cause them to perform poorly in school, but studies prove otherwise. "Studies show that students who work generally make better grades than those who do not work, I think because it helps "More and more Vm finding that the experience is a lot more valuable than the money Vm making Nathan Smith ECU senior ITEC major you really studying, and important to manage your time wisely "Once you develop a routine with work and school, it's much easier to maintain a schedule Smith said. "If you have a varying routine with your workload each week, it can be much more difficult to maintain a schedule than if you have a steadily-paced work and test schedule Williams and Smith acknowledged that some students do not need to or want to work while in college. "The friends that I have that don't work either have scholarships and live in the dorms, or their parents pay for college Williams said. Other students may already have jobs lined up after graduation so they don't need the experience, Smith said. Other non-working students may have limits set by their parents. "I hear a number of parents saying, 'Is it O.K. if we don't accept the work-study part of financial aid?' because they want them to spend all of their time studying Barbee said. Williams notes that employers look for students who have a good work ethic. "I think students should work at least part-time and go to school because when you get out of school you're going to have to go to work anyway, " Williams said. "Why not show an employer that Some benefits of time management, according to Sturm, are more free time Program targets time management Sturm offers free seminars Daryl cherry FOCUS SECTION WRITER If finding time to study is a major problem, then help is at hand. The answer to your problem may be summed up in two words: time management. According to James Sturm, director for the student leadership development programs, everyone � especially students � needs to be better time managers. Studies show that students spend 70 percent of their time outside of class. That's why it's important for them to plan ahead. Sturm recommends that each student take at least 15 minutes each day for each class to read or do problems that pertain to the subject. Doing this keeps the material fresh in your mind and will allow you to ask questions in class to better understand the subject. "It's OK to go over the 15-minute mark as long as you accomplish your goal for the 15 minutes said Sturm. and better grades. If one devises a good plan of time management for your schedule and apply the 15 minute plan, one will discover that one naturally obtains a better knowledge of each subject and will not find oneself trying to cram for hours to do homework or study for a test. This, in turn, will result in better grades and more free time. Students will also have less stress .md they will be healthier, Sturm said. By developing such a plan you will feel more confident that you are ready for tests. One will also find that one has more time to eat good meals instead of just having time to pick something up, and one won't be stuffing oneself with doughnuts and coffee to stay awake the night before a test. To form a successful plan of time management one must first get organized. Determine your most productive time of the day and plan to do your most important tasks then. Don't try to take on everything in one day; rather, prioritize your tasks for each day and make sure the tasks with the highest priority are completed. Take advantage of the resources provided by the university to make your day-to-day tasks simpler. For example, you can find books on time management at the library or get information from the Center for Student Development and Counseling or the Student Leadership Development Programs. Use a day-to-day appointment calendar, a note pad for reminders and a daily "To Do" list planning the events of the day or even week. "I like to list my activities for the day on my calendar from most important to least important Sturm said. Make the most of short bits of time through the day. For example, you can read a letter while waiting in line. For those people who go to school and work it is even more important that they have a thorough plan of time management, according to Sturm. Experts recommend six basic steps: Prioritize your tasks. You have to determine the urgency and importance of each task. Use your time effectively. You should make productive use of your free time and set time aside for a work hour and time-off hour. Avoid procrastination. You should set deadlines other than the ones assigned for yourself and award yourself when they are met. Organize yourself in a manner that is time efficient and beneficial in completing your task. Practice efficiency. You should work as if you were self-employed. Delegate by assigning deadlines and ongoing responsibilities for a certain time period. Students needing help with time management can go to the Center for Student Development and Counseling on the third floor of the Wright Building or contact the Student Leadership Development Programs in 109 Mendenhall Student Center at 328-47.
