The team of Eric Rivenbark for president, Leslie Pulley for vice president, John Meriac for secretary and Alan Stancill for treasurer swept the ticket. According to Bob Smith, elections chair, the One Card System showed that there were only 1150 total votes cast � despite a campuswide campaign to get 5000 votes cast in rhe election. Of the 1150 votes tallied, Rivenbark won with a total of 601 votes, Pulley with a total of 611 votes, Meriac with a total of 626 votes and Stancill with a total of 629 votes. For the first time in many years, it appeared the executive offices would be no con- test until write-in candi- dates emerged at the last minute. Waging write-in campaigns for president were Timothy Mullcr, with 62 votes, and Joe Phillips, with only 10 votes. Benjamin Rodriguez, the write-in candidate for vice presi- dent, received 53. Also waging a write- in campaign was the "B team" of Marcus Frederick for president, Kevin Jordan for vice president, Kodi Michaux for secretary and Tremayne Nunley for treasurer. The team's average was 441 votes per candidate. Campaign manager Raymond McGill declined to comment on the outcome of the election.

"Jarvis Hall is being renovated to improve the building's overall schematics and quality said Inez Fridley, associate director of facili- ties management Jarvis Hall, named for a univer- sity founder. Governor Thomas J. Jarvis, was built in 1909. It is the only surviving early building still used for its initial purpose. But the renovations will combine modern conveniences with the look the building had when it was new, close to 90 years ago. "The renovations will upgrade the total mechanical and technical aspects of the building Fridley said. The changes will include new rooms that are similar to the ones already there, a new office suite and a large student lounge. Manny Amaro, university hous- ing director, said the renovations will include extensive interior changes. Repairs to elevators, fire sprinklers, electrical heating and cooling systems, and upgrades in plumbing are included in the pro- ject. SEE JARVIS.

PAGE 3 Preacher Gary Birdsong attracted many students over a two day period of time, angering many with his views about life and religion. PHOTO BV STEVE 10SEY Mall preacher provokes arguments with students, attracts large crowd Many laugk, then becomeangry Steve Losev ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR The mall was turned into a heated forum on Tuesday. The heat moved to the mall Wednesday. Gary Birdsong visited to preach to ECU's students, attracting a mixed crowd, provoking some and angering many. Most came just to heckle and laugh, but some came to argue heatedly with Birdsong, a self-pro- claimed Christian evangelist from Raleigh. The size of the crowd grew, dwindled and grew again throughout the day. Birdsong said he makes the annual trip to Greenville as part of a UNC-systemwide tour of college campuses because he wants to pro- mote the Bible. "I come to bring awareness to the Bible Birdsong said. "Most college students can't quote the Bible for you, and if they do it's out of context The permit Birdsong received, which he waved to the crowd, allowed him to speak on campus from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Around 1 p.m merely a dozen people stayed to joke, but by 4:45 p.m around 40 people were listening, the biggest crowd he had gathered all day. Early in the afternoon, in a style typical of the hecklers, Dave Meyer provoked Birdsong when he inter- rupted him and said, "You people talk about your Psalms and your John 3:16. Well, Dave 3:16 says 'I just whupped your ass SEE PREACHER, PAGE Z IAr�MOUNAUNMMrrY Dining halls rank 1 Grades show degpee of cleanliness, proper - handling of food Mendenhall Dining Hall PHOTO BY SABRIHA 1 Laura Lee Hines staff writer In comparison to three other North Carolina public universities' main dining halls, ECU's average sanita- tion grades at Todd and Mendenhall dining halls for the 1997 quarters indicate that ECU received the high- est sanita- t i o n marks. ECU repeated- i y receives high sani- t a t i o n grades at all seven dining locations. Although all universities in North Carolina must have sani- tation grades of 90 and above, ECU has continually risen above and beyond those requirements to sup- ply quality services to students, faculty and staff. "I try to set the standard on campus at 95 percent said Fred Bisenger, resident district manager of Aramark, the food service provider. Sanitation grades are not merely a measure of cleanliness but also provide an indication of whether food is handled in a proper manner. All seven dining locations received Golden A's from Pitt County's environmental health department for receiving sanitation grades for the four quarters of 1997 with an average of 96 percent or higher. "I like the place to stay clean because I feel like less germs are around Bisenger said. Sanitation grades at Mendenhall and Todd dining hall in 1998's first quarter are not as high as previous grades. Bisenger attributes this decline to the number of inspectors who. conducted this inspection. One inspector from the Pitt County environmental health department usually visits each establishment per quarter and one inspector from the North Carolina environmental health department visits each location per year. During 1998's first quarter four inspectors visited each location, representing ECU, Pitt County and North Carolina's state depart- ment. Even with four inspectors present, ECU received higher grades at Mendenhall than any other dining hall at a public univer- sity in North Carolina and Todd tied with UNCWs main dining, hall.

Prize Patrol awards on campus students Students had to be .pesent in class to win Trisha Jones staff white Snap your fingers twice. It doesn't take long, about two seconds. But two seconds is all it takes for Ed McMahon and Dick Clark, aka Frank Salamon and Manny Amaro, to change your life. Salamon, director of dining ser- vices, and Amaro, university hous- ing director, work in conjunction with David Bailey, district manager of Aramark (the university's food distributor) to make possible each year the Prize Patrol Sweepstakes for students who live in residence halls. Instead of money, students win one of seven prizes. The top prize is free dorm rent for a semester, and up to $1,500 value. This year the grand prize went to Justin Ellerbe, an Aycock Hall resident. "I was kind of thinking about getting off campus next semester said Ellerbe. "But after this, no way! I'm not going anywhere until I graduate Ellerbe said by the time he walked to College Hill on the morn- ing of April 1, the day the prizes were announced, it began to sprin- kle and he almost turned back. Buthe trudged forward and became a richer man for it Winner of the nine-plus meal plan, Kimberly Parrish of Umstead Hall was u warded in her psychology class. Parrish said she wasn't sure how to respond when they called her name out as a winner. 'It was the week of my birthday ana-April Fool's Day Parrish said. "I thought surely no one would pull a stunt this big in front of my class Susan Shipton of Cotten Hall said when the Prize Patrol came to her music theory class, she looked around the room and wondered who it could be.

Computer issue sparks reactions Students from ECU, UNCsharefeeling Melanie Hackworth � STAFF WHITER Jarvis continued liom page) "Since Jarvis has such a long his- tory on campus, it's important that we preserve it and restore some of the fixtures it had when it was new Amaro said. 'The actual work will not begin until the fall of this year, but we are taking bids right now Fridley said. The actual work will take about one year to complete. But the question is where to house the overflow of students. The answer is that the hall has been unoccupied since last fall and there has not been an over- flow problem yet. In fact, some students have their own rooms in the dorms. Officials say the work being done to Jarvis is another milestone in the massive renovation work being done on the campus. They hope that by the time Jarvis Hall is finished, it will set a precedent for quality on campus. With UNC-Chapel Hill requiring students to purchase computers, students at both UNC and ECU are feeling a sense of reservation, and indicate that cost is the main concern. "I think it's a good idea, but I'm kind of concerned about cost said UNC-CH junior Jessica Griffith. Students at ECU are also con- cerned about finances. In a recent survey done by TEC, 39 out of 50 students believed that computers should not be required, typically citing cost as the reason for their reservations. "I think college is expensive enough without having to buy com- puters freshman Heather Williams said ECU students also indicate that with the many computer labs across campus, student have plenty of; access to computers. "I think if students have access to a computer, there's no reason they should have to purchase one sophomore Sara Singleton said. While some students are opposed to the idea, others wel- come the change. Many students said that if the cost of computers is figured into tuition, or if financial aid is given that computers would be a good idea for everyone. UNC Chapel Hill has already put plans into action to help stu- dents with computer costs. According to a source at The Daily Tarheel, UNC-CH's student news- paper, 40 percent of students will receive grants to pay for the com- puters. Some students are for required computers in selected fields of Study, Required computers for some disciplines is something ECU officials are looking at. Preacher continued from page! "That boy is a rock and roller Birdsong said. "Rock and roll is from the devil. Rap-crap is from the devil "I just said it to be a smartass Meyer later said. At one point, Birdsong described ECU as a "cesspool of sin Some students laughed and remarked that was the reason they came here. "I believe that the guy had some good points, but he presented them in the wrong manner said sophomore Lane Freeman. The carnival atmosphere, which one student described as "just like watching Jerry Springer faded as the situation grew more and more tense. Several students, some of whom were wearing Cross Culture shirts, became angry at his views, which students felt were sexist, homophobic and anti-semitic. People became furious when student Sean Hessee attempted to say something, but Birdsong would not let him. The crowd yelled "Shut up" at Birdsong, but he kept talking. Birdsong only allowed Hessee to speak when he crawled out of his wheelchair onto his knees. Hessee later said that he left his wheelchair "because some things you just need to do to get people's attention When Birdsong gave the floor to Hessee, he spoke to the crowd about tolerance. "No matter what race you are and what background you are, you should have love for one another Hessee said. "Not everybody is going to agree with what you say, but you have to try to get along Debi Neuwirth became extremely offended when Birdsong told her that people of the Jewish faith are going to hell. "I'm proud of being Jewish Neuwirth said. "You shouldn't be proud of rejecting Jesus Birdsong said. "God destroyed multitudes of Jews Birdsong called one student wearing a Marilyn Manson shirt "a disgrace to this campus Birdsong drew sharp criticism from the women in the crowd when he said, "You women don't know that your place is in the home, cooking Women responded that if they work, their husband could do the cooking.

Louis Dale hovered around the edge of the crowd the entire six hours Birdsong spoke. "I came out here to check and make sure everything's okay, and keep a low profile Dale said. Dale then asked this reporter what the time was and, seeing that it was 5 p.m made his way through the crowd, where he told Birdsong that his time was up.

Statute 131 E-8 provides guide- lines that PCMH will have to fol- low in order to become a private not-for-profit hospital. If they fail to meet the guidelines, then the county could resume ownership. If PCMH becomes private, peo- ple may not even notice, hospital officials say. The change will make them more competitive, jobs will be more secure and they will con- tinue to provide charity and quality care to all citizens of Pitt County. "We will continue to treat every- one said Doug Boyd, hospital spokesman. If PCMH doesn't follow through with its reorganization plans, then many patients will be lost to rival private hospitals. "Because of their ownership structure, these rivals have com- petitive advantages over PCMH: access to capital, flexibility to cam more on invested fundi, ability to keep business dealings confiden- tial, ability to easily form business relationships a PCMH hospital document said. Business relationships are some- thing Colville, Morrison and Leigh name as a hot topic. The suit alleges that consultants retained by the Pitt County Commissioners to advise them on the hospital's priva- tization are being paid by the hospi- tal, and that the consultants were reccomended by the county's bond issuer, who could receive possible financial benefits from the transac- tion. According to the hospital, the issue is a double edged sword, if PCMH loses patients because pri- vatization docs not occur, then the CCU's medical student education will be Aversely affected. In order for the reorganization to occur, both PCMH and Pitt County commissioners must agree. "The County feels it is in the best interest of the citizens to reor- ganize under N.C. General Statute 131 E-8, said Arlen Holt, informa- tion officer. "This is the best course of action The hospital and the commis- sioners' board will continue to work on the details and negotiations. 'The hospital has to agree to continue to reimburse Pitt County in Medicaid Holt said. "They also have to guarantee they will continue to provide indigent care in a way they have done The commissioners approved the proposal to ask PCMH for $30 million dollars up front. If the hos- pital agrees, then they have to make payments to Pitt County at a taxable rate, although they will become a tax exempt hospital. The hospital also has to agree on the way the hospital board will con- tinue to be represented because this is critical in the maintaining of I hospital policy. According to the citizen's suit the residents of the county also have a say in the process that is not being recog- nized. They want a citizen's com- mittee separate from the county officials and the hospital to be appointed to oversee and hate input in any and all offers made by the county to the hospital concern- ing privatization, and a referendum be held for the people to vote on the issue. The hospital isn't being sold to any other organization; it will con- tinue to be operated by Pitt County Memorial Hospital, Inc. S IT YES, YES!

Student runs for Board of Education 22-year -old education major 'says youth no object Nina M. Dry STAFF WRITER University student Mark Whichard believes youth is no object to hold- ing public office. The 22-year-old education major is running for the District 5 position on the Pitt County Board of Education this May. "I've been looking at this for several years Whichard said. Whichard said he doesn't feel that his youth will hinder his perfor- mance on the board. "Age isn't necessarily a factor Whichard said. "It's more about intellect The board needs people with new ideas and fresh voices One of the ideas that Whichard would like discussed if elected is the Pitt County Schools' Nursing Programs. He is hoping that the Board of Education could get involved and help fund this. Also he's very much for the community schools program. According to Whichard, we have a system where even though a child might live across the street from Rose High School, he or she is driven 30 min- utes away to D. H. Conley High School to maintain racial equality. "It's bad that students have to bear the brunt of mistakes the Board of Education makes Whichard said. Whichard said overall, he wants to represent the people. Whichard is not running unop- posed, however. Richard Tolmie, a former director of engineering at Burrows Wellcome, is running for Mark Whichard FILE PHOTO the same position. He currently holds the position due to appoint- ment. Larry Graham, an attorney in Greenville, resigned the position and Tolmie is fin- ishing out that terra "I was one in about eight people that applied for the position Tolmie said. "I'm trying to get the word out to 14,000 voters in District 5, let people know about you and your opponent Whichard and have the people vote for the best one Tolmie's goals if elected are to increase parent involvement, decrease class sizes, more technolo- gy, work with the county commis- sioners to receive funds to better the public schools in the area, and oversee how the central office of Pitt County is running the schools. "Basically I want to make sure all Pitt County children get top quality education Tolmie said.

Andrew LeLi ever STAFF WRITER The students' chance to voice their opinion to SGA through the use of suggestion boxes is being taken away According to Andrew Riddle, presidential cabinet member, the Student Government Association (SGA) student welfare suggestion . boxes are not being used. The boxes are being taken down at certain locations, such as Joyner Library and Minges, for reasons dealing with convenience. Students are having trouble voicing their opinions about the SGA. The sug- gestion boxes were supposed to be located in Mendenhall, Joyner Library, Wright Place, Minges, Allied Health and Todd Dining Hall, which were locations available to the students. Students have not submitted any ideas in the suggestion boxes.The boxes were designed to connect the student body to SGA officials. "The mailboxes are a good idea because students complain about SGA but they do nothing about it. This idea (boxes) is a way for the student welfare committee to hear and to voice these opinions and improve the state of our legisla- ture said Pam Godfrey, president of the student welfare committee. Eric Rivenbark,student welfare committee member said the exist- ing boxes have never had received any information from the students. "We are going to reconstruct the suggestion boxes to simplify the process of the students ability to voice their opinionssaid Riddle. Joyner Library and Minges have not displayed the suggestion boxes, but employees of both facilities did accept the offer to display them the library. According to Margaret Foote, interim associate director, when the next phase began, there was no des- ignated place for the boxes. "We have a new renovated facil- ity and no appropriate location for the box said Foote. Accordingly to Godfrey the stu- dent welfare committee has not had the cooperation of the staff. In the month of January we had verbal permission from all the locations to house our boxes. "With apathy you loose a bit of freedom said Linda Coward, pro- cessing assistant. According to Riddle the student welfare committee promoted the boxes by advertising in Tkt East Carolinian, and WZMB. Students can get in touch with the SGA directly, by coming to their open meetings on monday of every week. Riddle said It was in the best interest of the student welfare com- mittee to take down the suggestion boxes and try to put them up next semester, with changes to make them more accessible. Gotten Hall rape investigation remains unsolved Student recovering fairly well officials say �im Mohamed Hussein staff writer University police have no leads as to the perpetrator of the February rape of a 21-year-old student in Cotten Residence Hall. Although they say they are diligently working on the case, they have had no luck in finding the suspect When the incident was first reported, campus police contacted the State Bureau of Investigation Crime Scene Unit, who spent six I hours combing the student's room for fibers, hair, fingerprints and bod- ily fluids. "We are still looking for new information regarding the case and looking for new leads said Detective Mike Jordan of the uni- versity police department Jordan said that luckily the vic- tim is recovering fairly well. "She is doing as well as anyone can do in this type of situation Jordan said. Although the assailant has not been captured, Jordan said there are some things students can do to somewhat protect themselves from assault: don't walk late at night alone in dark areas, lock doors at night, and check windows and blinds at night for vulnerability. "Following some of these safety tips can help in protecting your- self Jordan said. The notion of safety is a big problem on most college campuses across the country. Twenty percent of all rape incidents are by strangers; whereas 80 percent are committed by male acquaintances. FBI statistics estimate that one of every three women will be sexually assaulted at some time in her life, and that the majority of rape victims are between the ages of 15 and 24. If anyone has any leads to the Cotten Hall Rape in February please contact the campus police and Detective Mike Jordan at 328- 6787. I Tlwrtur.

There are times when I feel like I am drowning, when the work load becomes overly demanding, when I wonder what the hell ever hap- pened to my childhood when responsibility wasn't even a worry amidst the sunshine of freedom. I look around and realize that time never stops, and I am so ineluctably fastened to it that I feel like a water skier whose . legs have gotten wrapped in the rope but the boat just keeps on plowing ahead through the water. I want to just stop, take a day off to just breathe, to realize there's more to life than quotidian obliga- tions, to stop time and catch up with the swiftly spinning planet around me. I have a life here. I'm sure of it. It's just buried some- where in this stack of papers. Somewhere. And it's normally amidst this sea of obligations and deadlines and indifferent mundan- ity that I pick up a novel and turn off the world around me, which only puts me further behind sched- ule. How do you do it? How do you cope? How do you keep from feel- ing like anything but a gnat on a cow's ass that is chewing its cud in a field next to a highway that cars go by all day and all night? I want to know. Most of my high school class- mates have moved on to marriage and cushy jobs with companies whose tri-name names ring sonorously of power and prestige and fame. And the once-in-a-while moments of triumph and glory - like my acceptance last month of an honorable mention for the Isaac Asimov Award for collegiate writers - is coupled with serious reality checks (over a whiskey and soda at the Miami Hilton, Ben Bova, one of the most winsome and respected writers alive today, a man who's seen it all in his seventy-some years, tells me confidentially that women don't care about who you are or what you do, 'They're only concerned with security. They want to know that you can provide for them And despite my decry- ing avarice and materialism and society's aggrandizing of monetary measures for the common man and woman, my noble belief in Steinbeckian promise and hope is deflated like a ten speed inner- tube that's happened upon a park- ing lot of broken glass, "That's just the way the world works. That's just the way it is) No, no, no; it can't be! But alas, this is the real world. And I suppose that, for many, that is how the world works. My only hope is that some- where, sometime, I can find solace impure human values like belief in what is right, like family traditions, like love and inspiration, wit, sin- cerity, and hard work. I am looking, always looking. It only seems that amidst the sea of what my life has become, a worry about how I'm gonna pay the next utility bill on the paltry income of a graduate assistant and finish a paper that's due Wednesday and read 100 pages by Monday and grade 25 papers by next week and somehow, some- how, somehow, remember to tell the ones I love that I do love them (though I hardly ever have time to see them anymore; "You hardly ever call us anymore my mother tells me) - it only seems that in the midst of all this the one thing I can hope to do is smile, laugh a bit sar- castically, and say "I'll get to as soon as I can. As soon as I can Those students who feel that their e-mail conversations are private are sadly mistaken. A recent proposal passed in the faculty senate meetings states that no one but the chancellor and an individual will have access to that individual's e-mail. Technically, without the faculty sen- ate's proposal, e-mail posted on the campus server is less like a message sent through registered U.S. mail, and more like a note posted on a billboard. The faculty senate's motion, subject to the approval of Chancellor Richard Eakin, sounds reasonable to TEC. At first glance our editorial board resoundingly opposed e-mails being treated any differently from conversations placed on the university phone system and mail posted in the university mail system. Why then, we wondered, was the Chancellor butting heads, so to speak, with the faculty senate? The State Attorney General's office provided some clues. Laws pertaining to e-mail documents are unclear at best. Several attorneys offered us very different interpretations of laws like the Public Records Act of North Carolina, which the Chancellor cites as being in opposition to the faculty senate's proposal. Basically, without a tremendous amount of precedence, it's any lawyer's guess how the university can legally enforce the right to monitor e-mail documents on their server. Given this, it seems reasonable to us that Chancellor Eakin would take a conservative approach and choose not to endorse a proposal which may or may not be upheld in a court of law. TEC is concerned that the possi- bility still exists that the Chancellor could check e-mail if he wanted, but we must keep in mind that he is probably not sitting in his office all day reading students' e-mail messages and catching up on the latest gossip. The chancellor does not want students to have a false sense of security, and TEC thinks that's a good idea. Given the current state of confusion, TEC recommends that in order to prevent self destruc- tion via university e-mail it would be wise to abstain from revealing your deepest darkest secrets over the internet � you never know who might be reading. If you are having an affair with the president and you don't want the world to know, you should probably just keep it to yourself. The skeletons in your closet should be discussed on the telephone, not your e-mail account Many students may object to this law arguing that the university is invading their privacy and personal space. As concerned as TEC obviously is with freedom of speech and communi- cation, it is with great hesitation that we say a false sense of security created by the faculty sen- ate may be worse than regulated e-mail. OPINION BERGMAN Columnist Downtown needs more bars The city wants the downtown ' area to be presentable. Stumbling drunks are not what the city has in mind for the downtown region. On April 6th the city council post- poned a vote upon an issue that greatly affects students. The city council may vote to prohibit any new taverns from opening in the downtown area. Great idea, eh! Some might say, "Good, we do not need any new bars Actually those people would probably say it like this, "Them dad burned col- lege kids, they don't be needin' any new bar To which I would reply you are wrong, we do need new pubs. Greenville is growing. ECU continues to increase its enroll- ment. More people, more action downtown. Simple economics (let's face it, all economics is simple) has taught me that competition brings price down and a greater variety. The more bars the lower the price of drinks and cover charges. Economics has also taught me that greater competition will also force more variety upon the music seen downtown. More saloons means more fighting for the crowds, which equals bigger bands. Nationally known bands would draw a bigger crowd, to your place of business. Now here's the part that makes me want to rip out my few remain- ing hairs and scream, "ugh (maybe not ugh, but some people have a problem with the F word). The Daily Reflector, Greenville's other newspaper, ran an article a few weeks ago about the problem with bars, overcrowding. The Reflector pointed out � and correctly so � that often bars are filled past their fire occupancy. Clearly, this problem happens a lot, as anybody who has been down- town can testify. Aside from the dilemma of fire hazards, fights often happen in the packed clubs. By now many of you should know the scenario by heart spilled drink, burnt by a cigarette or talking to the wrong women and a few fists are thrown. Now here's the funny part. It nearly blew my mind. The Daily Reflector, after reporting on the problem with the current bars downtown, appears to come out in favor of the new ordinance. Maybe the council in their infi- nite wisdom hopes students will go elsewhere in the city for a few drinks. Another obstacle appears with this common sense approach. The cab companies in this town can barely handle the demand at night now. I have waited an hour and a half for a cab on a busy Friday night. Few among us can show that much patience, especially after drinking enough cheap vodka to raise Aristocrat's stock ten points. Hey, I have a great idea. A few drinks probably will not kill me if I drive home. Maybe I could get lucky and take out a council mem- ber (maim, not date, what kind of pervert are you?). Now we come to the question of why. Why doesn't the city council let economics take control? This whole banning of new bars is part of the council's downtown revitaliza- tion act. The city wants the down- town area to be presentable. Stumbling drunks are not what the city has in mind for the downtown region. If you have time, go down to the city council meeting. Voice your opinion about how you feel in regard to this issue. I will be at the meeting, explaining my reasoning behind why the new zoning law is a bad idea. They probably will not listen; they have not yet. Come on look at their record; they split ECU and the surround- ing area into FOUR separate city districts, have a three person occu- pancy ordinance, one member even had an East Carolinian newspaper box taken from campus, and anoth- er asked if the information super- highway was coming to Greenville (she thought it was a "real" road). God help our council, this might even be beyond God's help. Bill Gates, help our council. OPINION Marvellej SULLIVAN Columnist City Council: Leave Fifth Street alone "Good manners will open doors that education cannot and WM not Even though you have strong feelings about some- ding, that does not give you license to have bad manners Clarence Thomas, Supreme Court justice, 1996 When streets follow a sequen- tial order, it is senseless to interrupt that sygem. First St Second St Third St Fourth St Martin Luther King Drive, Sixth StIs that logical? A recent movement in city council resulted in part of Fifth Street's name being changed to Martin Luther King Drive. How ridicu- lous is this? There are a plethora of highly logical reasons why the street name should not be changed. It is surprising to me that this movement has even gained such momentum because of the effects such a proposal would entail. . When streets follow a sequential order, it is senseless to interrupt that system. First St Second St Third St Fourth St Martin Luther King Drive, Sixth StIs that logical? Fifth Street is a historic street that has been in place (with the same name) for over 200 years. Because of its historical signifi- cance, there arc many limits to zon- ing and modification along the whole strip. For example, there is actually an ordinance that prohibits the owners of particular houses to change the color of the house. If the city deems Fifth Street of such historical importance as to monitor the painting of houses, how can the same city find it sensible to change the whole name of the street entire- ly? Along with the other two rea- sons, it seems ludicrous to change a street with both residential and commercial zoning. Business own- ers have to find the approval of this motion to be an unneeded nuisance to their business and its activity. Not only are business owners affected, but also residents of Fifth Street as well. With the street run- ning right beside campus and being the heart of downtown, the pro- posed changed would be utterly annoying. Councilman Rufus Huggins wants a Martin Luther King Drive because Greenville does not have a memorial to King and most other towns do. Is there some law I am unaware of that requires that every town in America have some type of memorial to King? Of course he promoted many admirable things that indeed should be recognized, but docs changing a street name duly accomplish this task? It is very disheartening that this has become a race issue. It is not. Whether the proposal was to change the street name to Martin Luther King Drive or Robert E. Lee Boulevard, changing Fifth Street's name is poindess � it does not matter who or what it would be named after! Using the race argu- ment to further propel the move- ment is simply a blow below the belt. If there is indeed an incessant need to honor King, it would be more appropriately done by way of a bridge, building or prominent monument perhaps. Since there is such strong opposition to the changing of the name, a different course must be taken. No one is debating the placement of a memo- rial to King but rather just keeping the norm that works so well intact, n �ViVBPVVBVPBBI Till Sift Cwliniia. i hour and a half iy Friday night show that much y after drinking odka to raise n points, eat idea.

PAGE 7 Let's get it on Battle of the Bands nextWednesday Mice ah Smith SENIOR WRITER Shannon Meek senior writer ECU's Students Union will be holding its fifth annual Battle of The Bands next Wednesday. As always, students will come at 8 p.m. on the MSC Brickyard, to soak in the air of the warm spring night and listen to tunes of bands in the local areas. The bands that are scheduled to play are Cashmere Jungle Lords (8- 8:20 p.m.). Hydro-lux (8:40-9 p.m.) , MORdeCAI (9:20- 9:40 p.m.), People's Fault (10-10:20 p.m.), and Sullenspire (10:40-11 p.m). Cashmere Jungle Lords are a band as the trio from Richmond, Va. describes it, of hybrid "Western Surf jungle rock College Music Journal called this band. "One of the South's best secrets The band's recent CD, Southern Barber Supply, has been highly praised. "We like the Ventures, Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry, Frank Sinatra and Frankie Lane said Band member Dominic Carpin. Perhaps their eclectic sound is what makes their music so appealing. One newspaper proclaimed their sound, "infectious rock-n-roll Hydro-Lux, a relatively young band whose style runs more toward funk, reggae, jazz and blues, hails from Virginia. "We like toimprovise with our stuff, be spontaneous said drum- mer Jon Cornwell. But don't expect a Phish-style jam; these guys tend to be influenced by the classics: Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and assorted masters of jazz. MORdeCAI's influences are an eclectic range of alternative bands including The Smashing Pumpkins , Rush, 311, Dave Matthews and Black Sabbath. They are a band composed of three guys who played "Naked toast Jam" and various little backyard and garage parties. In the summer of 1997 they produced their own self- titled album.

His life has been well suited for the harsh times during the naturalistic writing period in America. He has seen many bands unite and crum- ble, traveled many roads and in the end has suffered the toil of accu- mulating more miles than money. Suffering, however, is probably not the appropriate term for Alejandro's life. He has served most of his adult life doing some- thing he loves and he does it better than most. To understand Alejandro's bril- liance we must first look at his past. Born in San Antonio, Texas, Alejandro was a member of a rather large musical family with 12 sib- lings of whom several have had some musical recognirion. His � SEE ESCOVEDO.

I love movies, preferably ones that aren't Hollywood's latest formulaic moneymaker, the ones that Entertainment Tonight and Entertainment Weekly get brown-lip about. Something a tad twisted. This incurable fascination, which taunts me like a bad taco or Celine Dion, needs guidance. Fortunately, 9 Thursday Henry Acrobat at Peasant's � . (j ' there are plenty of books written by twisted S.O.B's who are more than willing to help me out. One of the best B-movie refer- ence books is The Psychotronic Video Guide (St. Martin's Griffin, 19), written by Michael Weldon. He covers blaxploitation (Truck Turner, Welcome Home Brother Charles), sexploitation (Pom Pom Girls, Sweet Sugat), horror movies (Crazy Fat Ethel II, This Night, I'll Possess Your Corpse), movies you don't know what the hell are (Strip Tease Baby Dolls From Cleveland Meet the Unkillables, Vampire Trailer Park) and plenty of other stuff you've never heard of. The book is a sequel to Weldon's 1983 Psychotronic Encyclopedia of Film. The video guide is not a new edition; it's a totally new book. Weldon pro- vides interesting reading and a ton of great movie stills and posters that are probably better (in many cases) than the movies they're advertising. Along the same lines as Psychotronic is Videohound's Complete Guide to Cult Flicks and Trash Pics (Visible Ink Press, 19). While nowhere near as extensive as Psychotronic, Cult Flicks and Trash Pics may be more to your liking as it includes a rating system (WOOF! to four bones) that helps you distin- guish the good bad from the bad bad. Also, it has interviews and salutes to folks like Sam Raimi (Evil Dead, Darkman) and Bela Lugosi. A more scholarly approach is taken in Midnight Movies (DeCapo, 1983), written by James Hoberman and Jonathan Rosenbaum. Hoberman and Rosenbaum pro- vide an in depth history of cult films with chapters devoted to. among Paul Tardiff and Co. at Staccato Mayflies, Starpoint at Lizard & Snake in Chapel Hill The Holy Smokes at The Cave in Chapel Hill 10 Friday Poetry Slam at Forum and Function in Raleigh Cows at Cat's Cradle in Carborro Anna to the Infinite Power, others, Eraserhead and George Romero's Night of the Living Dead. But while Midnight Movies offers top-notch analysis of the history of underground films, the book does not forget fun. These are B-movies they're talking about after all. It also has a lot of great stills from movies like Reefer Madness and the most famous of the midnight movies. The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Also featured in Midnight Movies is the king of bad taste, John Waters, the legendary director of Pink Flamingos, Desperate Living, and other deliciously decadent debauchery (they pay me extra for alliteration). Thunder's Mouth Press re-released Waters' 1981 biog- raphy, Shock Value, in 1995. Shock Value, a "tasteful book about bad taste is never uninter- esting.

Some say it's just fine (Waters, Martin Amis), while others aren't too keen on it (Michael Medved, Mary Whitehouse). Perhaps most inter- esting are the essays written by John Grisham and Oliver Stone, each slamming the other. Grisham's assertion that the "orgy of violepce" that was Natural Born n Killers contributed to two teenagers slaying one of his friends meets with expected defiance from Stone: "Has your father been brutalized? Sue Oedipus and call Hamlet as your witness. Do you hate your mother? Blame Medea and Joan Crawford. Has your lawyer-husband been unfaithful?

The first leg of Jolene consisted of the three main members: Singersong- writerguitarist John Crooke, bassist Mike Mitschele and the drummer Mike Kenerley, as well as Bill Ladd playing pedal-steel guitar and Dave Burris adding guitar vocals and mandolin. This leg produced Jolene's debut record Hell's Half Acre, a good road record on Ardent Records. After some little-known suc- cess, the band returned to the stu- dio again with some new members and an adjusted, but not complete- ly different, attitude. Whereas the first record was more country and blucgrass influenced � care of Bill Ladd's steel guitar work � this time around, Jolene traded Ladd for steel guitar player Rodney Lanier, who has a less country sound in his style. The attitude expressed on In the Gloaming is exactly what the title denotes: A time when all is dark and unclear such as dusk or twi- light. The opening track entitled "Pensacola soused by an unorigi- nal Oasis guitar intro that is pat- terned after "Wonderwall" and every other Oasis song that has recently been released, is nonethe- less an appropriate sound for what was trying to be achieved. Aside from the arguably cheesy guitar intro, the lyrics and vocal harmonies are the elements that bring this song into the light with repeated chants of "need you now Many of the songs are up-tempo; however, the connotation of dusk is retained in the musical structure. The track "Begin 1000" caresses the listener while the lyrics long for an answer, "Beauty's evident and I'll stand forever, I can hold you and hold you and I can begin 1000 One odd aspect about the preced- ing song is that a meaning cannot be derived from it easily, though a sense of want and hopelessness protrude from the music. The last upbeat rocker that sadly sticks out is the cut "Star Town This track is pure sarcasm. Crooke wrote lyrics of promise, "Star town for a golden boy but his tone of voice is glum, perhaps in the "glumming" if you will. To add to this frenzy and to the dark imagery on the album, at the end of "Star Town Crooke chants a phrase that is undetectable, but somewhere in the midst of "forgive me now" and "forget me not Each phrase adds to the power of the song; however, the true meaning would unveil exactly what Crooke is trying to say though he probably wanted these to be indiscernible in order to main- tain the gloaming theme. In comparison to the first record, it is pretty evident that the band did a great deal of experimentation. Different drumbeats were used, aside from a standard 44 beat in most songs on Hells Half Acre. The track titled "16c" sounds like it was inspired by early Pink Floyd as it encompasses high-pitched, echoing guitars, and a relaxed feel. One might even term this to be a spacey song. Crooke plays games with his words when he sings, "What does it sound like living with me these days As much as Jolene probably wanted to create a totally dark album, it is pretty tough to do con- sidering their past. "Pull the Weight Virginia (Innocent Lucille)" seems like it doesn't even belong on this record. It is a happy-go- lucky, snap, crackle, poppy tune that could brighten anyone's dark hour. Though after several listens to this track, if you pay attention to the words, it is about loss. "Fool enough to carry on, pull the weight Virginia Virginia seems to be liv- ing a hard life of loss; however, she keeps on going along on the same path as Crooke beckons, "Lead on Directly after "Pull the Weight Virginia (Innocent Lucille) Jolene come back again with a pleasant sounding song titled "Clear Bottle Down Opening itself with a mod- erately crunchy guitar line that accompanies the chorus in effect that after Crooke sings "let me run, clear bottle down the musical notes fall down as if a drink from a bottle has just been consumed. You would think that Jolene would conclude the record with a poppy song such as the aforemen- tioned; however, this is not so. The closing number, "20th Century Pause takes the listener back into the dark mist: "And if I ever find recollection in my head, I would pray you awake me at onceThen she steps on my feet and we dance It is as if Crooke pulls you "In the Gloaming" and does every- thing in his power to make you feel comfortable there. This record is a good tool to help you get away from things, it urges you to go back into your own little world and do your own thing. If you think about it hard enough, col- lege students, Crooke is giving a helpful hint. Movies coniinued from page 6 Escovedo coniinued f mm page 6 older brothers once played for Santana, and his niece, Sheila (com- monly known as Sheila E. in the '80s), also experienced some fame in:the music industry His father was a musician as well playing in mariachi bands in Mexico. Literally, almost all of Alejandro's family is, or was, musically talented in some way. Alejandro even shared a cult punk rock band with his brother, Javier, called True Believers. After the demise of f True Believers, Alejandro had to qontin- ue giving his gift as a solo artist. After many record label troubles, Alejandro found himself a foster artist until Bloodshot Records offered him a home with a new recording of a collection of live songs entitled More Miles than Money (Live 1994-96). The disc begins with a weary song called "Last To Know" that opens the album and sets the mood � relaxed. As Alejandro begins singing, you can hear the struggle and toil that he has been dealing with throughout his whole life. There is an emptiness in his voice that seems it can never be filled. This song is home to the title of the album: "More miles than money, look at our lives and its so funnyMore miles than money, we fall in love and its so funny, with the last, the very last to know "Last To Know" is immediately followed by another acoustic tune called "Slip with a brooding melody that leaves you lost in thought. "Hey you, won't you come and drink with me, I haven't bro- ken anythingI just need you to slip away with me There is still a yearning in Alejandro's voice that could give any soul a chill, only the soulless would not understand. The most surprising aspect of this record is that there is little, if not any, crowd noise heard whatso- ever. After all, this is a live record with performances from Alejandro's homeland of Texas, some shows in California and a closing number in Paris, France. At each venue the crowd was exceptionally quiet for the recording except for maybe a few faint whistles at the close of a song. "Broken Bottle" is a master- piece example of Alejandro's song- writing. "Pour me a drink from a broken bottle, fill my glass with the dirty water, what I've lost is gone, what I've gained has no name, so I'll take my leave once more A life of incessant down endings is the story of this man's life. More Miles than Money has a few select cover tunes that pay a little homage to obvious influences in Alejandro's past and present song- writing. Covers include the Stooges' "I Wanna be your Dog" and the Rolling Stones' "Sway The album is capped by one of Alejandro's most acclaimed songs, "Five Hearts Breaking and a medley of material commonly heard when playing with his latest side project Buick MacKane (a rawking garage rock band based in Texas that Alejandro is again proud to share along with his brotherex- True Believer, Javier). "Five Hearts Breaking" is a hopeful song that overpowers the thoughts of a hard life and encourages you to keep moving. "Her name was Hopeher hair was blacker than the sky, she had a smile that would make the Devil cryShe held his hands, looked him in the eye, she said, 'Believe, Believe, and everything will be fine Alejandro Escovedo is a songwriter. Grease coniinued Itom page 6 forever (granted, a series of talking baby movies kind of cracked that cement, but that's beside the point). And it's not a bad little flick, if you like that sort of thing. The songs aren't unbearable, and the dancing is well-choreographed. If you're a John Travolta fan, it's fun to see him with a ducktail and leather jacket, at least. And if you're an Olivia Newton-John fan Okay, so I guess there probably aren't very many Olivia Newton-John fans left out there. But 'she does wear a poodle skin through most of the film, and that's gotta be worth something. But come on, people! Does any- body really need to pay six bucks to see this turkey in a theater? There are some interesting set pieces here, sure, but Grease is hardly the kind of visual feast that's really enhanced by the big screen. "Greased Lightning" may very well be a neat little number, but seeing it on a movie screen just means you're staring at a really big Kill'and Gun Craxy with equal parts intelligence and hard-boiled enthusiasm. His writing style is. powerful and to-the-point, inspired, he claims in the preface, by the Cahiers du Cinema reviews of the '50s he imagined to be written; "on the cafe or kitchen table at one; in the morning Videohound puts out a variety! of genre related film reference! guides (independent movies, vam-j pire moviffe) science fiction, etc.); in addition to its annual Golden Movie Retriever, an amazing; resource. You get cross-referencingj up the ying (they've got penicillin! for that, don't worry), and it lists more movies you can shake a cat' at In fact, you could probably kill a cat or a small child just by tap- ping it on the head with this bas-I tardt'It's a whopping big book, about the size of Toledo. But if you're just looking for your basic guide to movies, nicely written, handy size, nothing fancy, there's always Mr. Leonard Maltin. Leo's annual Movie and Video Guide is as dependable and reliable as the smiling bearded face on the cover would indicate. As you can see, I've spent way too much money in the name of movies, specifically movies named Was a Communist For the F.B.I. Somewhere within all these; books, however, you should be . able to locate something you like something you've never heard of or, at least, something to kill a cat with. j The only part of Grease that I can imagine being worth seeing in a theater is the "Beauty School Drop-Out" sequence. Not that the scene is really all that great, but at least Frankie Avalon gives it a little period cred. And period cred is something this film sorely lacks. Though all the Jayne Mansfield sweaters and DA haircuts are in place, Grease just sounds wrong. While a couple of songs actually do sound like gen- uine '50s music ("Beauty School Drop-Out" being the best of those), most of them are just show tunes tweaked slightly to mimic a '50s flavor. And the theme song? It's disco, people, pure and simple! Disco! I hope you're proud. If you really must relive the 70s version of the '50s, watch the early seasons of Happy Days on Nickelodeon. It's better, and more' accurate, than anything in Grease And if you must watch Grease, just go rent it. Or better yet, wait until it1' shows on Turnervision again so you,J can see it for free.

April 9. 1998 The East Carolinian I Th� R�oruWno Rundown What does it take? -t DAMON STAFFORD S6NIOH WRITES One of the top priorities to running a successful athletic program is recruiting the best athletes the sport has to offer. The ECU coaching staffs are constantly watching high school athletes in championship meets and in vi tationals across the nation. Most of our ECU athletes are found in North Carolina or in the surrounding east coast states. "Over the past years North Carolina has turned into a strong recruiting athlete requesting information such as academic background and their interest in college. The NCAA prohibits collegiate coaches talking face to face with these athletes until their become seniors. However, letters of interest and communicating with their coaches is allowed. "We're not only looking for the best athletes Pirate Basketball Head Coach Joe Dooley said. "But were also looking for guys whose personality's fit the university as well as our program state Swimming Head Coach Rick Kobe said. "But we also get a lot of recruits from the states around Maryland and Virginia For the well- known high school prospect, the process of ��RaaVHal recruiting usually will begin their junior year in high school. A letter is sent to the Year in the Life Country Recruiter of Cross Mike Ford May- Scout recruits at North Carolina High School Championshops June- Scout recruits at Virginia High School Championships July- Develop a list of new recruits from current years championships August- Tryouts begin, last years recruits settle into college SeptNov Scout one or two high school meets, while coaching cross country NovJan Visit new prospects at their homes, scout Footlocker Championships FebApril- narrow down a list of recruits, make follow up phone colls April- May- Signing period Top 5 things coaches are looking for: I. Athletic ability 2. Academic background 3. Attitude 4. Level of determination 5. Sense of team In many occasions, some of the greatest high school athletes will go unnoticed by coaches. In this case, the prospect will independently contact the school of their choice. "I would say almost 90 percent of our incoming freshmen contact us first Rick Kobe said. If the athlete has interest in the school, he will then send all of the information needed back to the coaching staff. The next three or four months will involved the athlete visiting campus and the coaching staff visiting hisher home. At this time all questions by the athlete and hisher parents will be answered. The coaching staff will also find out all of the information that they need to know. "Were looking for kids that will achieve in the classroom, put forth strong work ethic and dedication as well as perform on the field Assistant Cross CountryTrack Coach Mike Ford said. As the athletes come for a campus tour they stay with upperclassmen from their prospective sports and learn about the school. There are may ways which they decide who gets what in the scholarship department. In ECU swimming, scholarships are determined soley by times, but in other sports it is impossible to judge scholarships by statistics. "We don't award scholarships unless we actually see someone play Assistant Soccer Coach Jeff Oberg said. "We like to evaluate them ourselves Signing periods will then follow, with an early signing period available. Recruiting is probably the most important element of putting together and maintaining a strong athletic department. ECU coaches are constantly scouting games, meets, matches, as well as contacting upcoming freshmen to take ECU athletics to the next level. Former Pirate quarterback Dan Gonzalez named 1998 Outstanding Male Athlete FootbalPs finest to receive award TP.ACV HAIRR STAFF WHITER As part of the annual Great PurpleGold Pigskin Pig-Out Parry, the Breakfast of Champions will be held at the Greenville Country Club. Dan Gonzalez, the Pirate football quarterback, has been selected as ECU's Outstanding Male Scholar- Athlete of the year 1998. Along with Christi Valevich from the Softball team, Gonzalez will be honored for his successes in both the classroom and on the field. This award, sponsored by PCS Phosphate, includes an athletic grant-in-aid in name of the recipients. Gonzalez has obtained his undergraduate degree in marketing, and recently earned his "MBA last December after maintaining a GPA of 3.8 in the program. Wnm H Dm Gonzalez will be honored at the 1998 Outstanding Male Athlete of the Year on April 18. PHOTO COURTESY OF SPORTS INFORMATION Aside from his academic accomplishments, Gonzalez marks the Pirate record books for being the leader in completion percentage at 56.7, and was ranked No. 4 in ECU history in passing yardage with 2, 510. With such achievements considered, Gonzalez is anxious both about a prospective football career and a job search he will soon venture upon. "The NFL draft pick will be on the 18th or 19th, so I've been thinking a lot about that Gonzalez said. Out in the competitive business world, Gonzalez foresees nothing that should obstruct his opportunities. "As far as a job goes, I don't think it should be difficult to find one related to my undergraduate degree Gonzalez said. "Of course, my Masters deals more with business administration, so I'm looking forward to seeing where each step takes me Regardless of the extreme effort put forth by Gonzalez, he admits that he is hardly the only athlete who is worthy of this acknowledgement. "There are so many other players in every sport who are doing well in the classroom, and they don't always get the recognition they deserve Gonzalez said. "It definitely took a lot of hard work to get where I am today, but I was fortunate to be able to take classes offered during the summer and other good times, so my schedule was always manageable No longer an active part of the football team or classroom studies, Gonzalez indeed has a remarkable history in ECU's athletic and academic departments, and will receive a well-deserve! award at the Breakfast of Champions on April 18. Dan Gonzalez made impressive marks not only on the field, but alto in the classroom. Ranked fourth for ECU in passing yardage with 2.510, he has been thinking a lot lately about the upcoming NFL draft.

In addition to getting the players in shape, spring practice allows coaches to introduce new plays and formations. It also allows coaches to work closely with young players that red-shirted last season. Several of these players have already had stand out springs according to Pirate Head Coach Steve Logan. 'Pcrnell running game, Logan said that it is coming along. "Jamie Wilson, Leonard Henry, and Damon Davis are all splitting time Logan said. "We feel like we have three guys that can do the job The defense is a little more settled with eight starters returning. All Conference USA linebacker Rod Coleman is among those returning. As a senior, Coleman will be counted on to provide leadership. "Right now I'm practicing individually and helping to coach the younger guys Coleman said.

"My confidence level is up from last fall, and I'm staying more patient Garrard said. "Hopefully I'll be able to play Garrard said that the speed of practice is one of the biggest adjustments he has had to make. "In high school things are a little more relaxed Garrard said.

So far the Pirates have been fairly lucky. "Chris Satterfield injured his shoulder and may need surgery Logan said. "Other than that it's just been bumps and bruises As of now, Logan says they haven't been planning exclusively for the first game at Virginia Tech. "Right now we're not focusing on the particulars of what their offense and defense does, we're concentrating on fundamentals Logan said.

The Aggies scored two runs in the top oftne nintn on two ECU errors, but it was not enough for the victory and the Pirates pulled it out 15-10. "After losing nine straight it feels pretty good to come back and win four, we just gotta keep it going Howard said. This Saturday the Pirates will be playing three conference games against George Mason (4- 5). "I think this is a big weekend coming up for the team, and a big weekend as far as where were going to finish in the conference siad Coach Keith LcClair. "If we can play well this weekend, we may have an opportunity to finish in the top two or three REC SERVICES Congratulations! Ryan Massimo of the ECU baseball team was named the Colonial Athletic Association's Player of the Week on Monday. A senior shortstop from Durham, Massimo is the second Pirate to receive this honor in the last four weeks, as teammate Randy Rigsby was the year's first CAA Player of the Week on March 16. Flag football to appear on intramural calendar for first time this spring The Department of Recreational Services will offer a 4-on-4 Flag Football program for the first time this Spring. This new activity will get underway with a captain's registration meeting on Tuesday, April 14 at 5 p.m. in Mendenhall Student Center, Room 244. Any individuals interested in registering also attempt to attend in order to facilitate this process. Four players are needed to form a team and play will be offered on several different days and times. Divisions offered will include Men's Independent Gold and Purple and Women's Independent. Gold leagues are designed for participants who have experience in competitive play and wish to participate at a higher level of skill while Purple leagues are more recreational fn nature. The activity format will be determined by the number of teams which register. Play will begin on Monday, April 20 with most games taking place between 4 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays at the College Hill fields. Recreational Sports Association (NIRSA) and NFL Air-It-Out 4-on-4 Flag Football rules will be used. 4-on-4 Flag Football is a wide open and high scoring game designed entirely around the forward year offering the 4-on-A game, a number of other colleges have recently added this activity as the NFL Air-It-Out program has gained in popularity. With most of the members from powerhouse teams from the Fall, "Strictly Playaz" and "Aftermath" either out of school this semester or committed to other activities, competition is expected to be wide open. Rumor has it that Jeremy Howard and Tommy Johnson of the "Knuckleheadz" will be attempting to break the record for participation in the most intramural activities in a single year. Vu "Rec Center Rifle" Donie is also expected to enter a team if he can recover from the euphoria surrounding his first All-Campus men's basketball championship. Among the Gold teams from the Fall, the status of "Qimdemhoez" is still in question as Terrance Barnhill and Darryl Collins attempt to pick up the ashes from last semester. For further infromation, pleas contact David Gaskins at Recreational Services at 328-6387. Recreational Services to sponsor Golf Singles Tournament for ECU community The Department of Recreational Services is sponsoring a Golf Singles Tournament which will be open to all ECU students, faculty, and staff. Interested participants must register by 5 p.m. on Tuesday, April 14th in 128 Student Recreation Center. All participants must complete a registration form which includes their full name, social security number, phone number, and division of play. Participants will also sign up for a tee time at registration. Competition will be offered in both men's and women's divisions. This activity is in the Fraternity Point System. A current ECU one card is required for eligibility. The tournament will be held on Monday, April 20th and Tuesday, April 21st at Bradford Creek Golf Club in Greenville. Participants will shoot one round of 18 holes on either of these days. A $15 fee will cover the cost of green fees and tournament expenses. A variety of tee times beginning in the early afternoon will be available for both days. Bradford Creek Golf Club rules require participants to wear a collared shirt. Required footwear is soft spikes and tennis shoes. Prizes will be awarded for the lowest score in the men's and women's divisions. All scorecards should be turned in to 128 Student Recreations Center by no later than 5 p.m. on Wednesday, April 22. Participants may use their own clubs or may check out a set from the Customer Service Desk in the Student Recreation Center. Among the top players expected to return are last year's co-champions Jason Conner and Todd Rademacher as well as Chris Corrada and Grant McMasters who were at the top of the leader board last year. However, there has also been considerable rumor that Intramural megastar Vu "Hole In One" Donie will be retiring from basketball and playing this event as a warm up before joining the PGA Tour. Other infamous participants expected to hit the links include Jeremy "Sand Trap Magnet" Howard" and Shannon "Waterlogged" Cowan. This tourney provides an excellent opportunity to enjoy the beautiful weather that has descended early on Eastern North Carolina. Golf is a sport for all ages, interests, and skill levels. So get into the swing of things, and register for the annual Recreational Services Golf Tournament. For further information, please contact Bobby Woodard at Recreational Services at 328-6387.

PPVPMHP � Student Health says communication best prevention �80 freshmen sexually active � Third highest NC AIDS rate in Pitt County � Abstinence stiP alive on college campus J 2 Thursday, April 9,1998 'PC US ��� The East Carolinian "i 3 Thursday Health educators work for STD education Student Health says communication best prevention LAI REN CARRIER FOCUS SECTION WRITER The best type of sexual prevention can't be bought at a drug store; there is no prescription for it. The best prevention against sexually transmitted diseases (STD) is communication. Heather Zophy, health educator at Student Health Services, said, "There is never enough communication between partners Proper communication involves discussing protection methods and one another's sexual history before becoming sexually active. Remaining honest and open throughout the relationship is another step. A graduate of ECU, and former Pirate cheerleader, Zophy now works to educate students and provide them with health information. She believes that this type of communication can lead to a decline in the percentage of individuals with STDs. Now, ECU's percentage of students with STD's is average for a college campus this size. Although, the exact percentage of ECU students who have 5 Easy Steps To STD Prevention W.�Communicate with your partner about your sexual history and concerns before engaging in sexual intercourse, and continue to do so throughout the relationship Q�I ,jmit your number of sexual partners w?�Always use latex or polyurethane condoms C�Regular screening for you and your partner because symptoms may not appear until months after exposure Gf�Avoid mixing sexual activities with alcohol and drugs ����Remember, abstinence is the only way you can be positively safe, but following these steps properly will place you closer to that goal STDs . is unknown, Zophy says that about one out of every four students across the nation has an STD, whether they are aware of it or not. Although, communication is crucial, it is not enough. Other prevention methods include: abstinence, the use of latex or polyurethane condoms, monogamy and a limited number of sexual partners, and students should not share needles or razors. Zophy says STD prevention also includes being aware of the risk factors that are involved when mixing alcohol and other drugs with any type of sexual activity. All of these methods will help protect an individual against STD's as a whole, yet all STD's are different. Therefore, students need to educate themselves about them, Zophy says. For example, chlamydia, trichomonas, hepatitis-B, gonorrhea, and the human immunodeficiency virus or HIV are the most easily contracted since all that needs to be involved is skin to skin contact. So don't count on a condom alone to protect you. If you are sexually active, you may need to be regularly screened1 for these viruses. The skin diseaserscabies, also known as "itch mites can most effectively be prevented by good personal hygiene and regular screening as we'll, For further information or questions the National STD Hotline is available Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. until 11 p.m. at 1-800-227-8922.

Zophy stresses the importance of STD prevention and effective communication to her caller. She says that not knowing enough about your partner can only lead to complications in the future. "They think they know each also a good resource. Zophy is ()thcr so intimately, yet they tail to constantly receiving phone calls talk� says Zophy at her office and even at her home More STD's for college age than any other In Pitt County, the distribution of STDs in 1997 were as follows: AIDSSyphilisGonorrheaChlamydia 3711548540 80 percent of freshman sexually active Bkth Junes mii i s sn:thin WHITER Sexually transmitted diseases affect college students more than any other age group. Sixty-three percent of those infected are under the age of 25. As far as ECU is concerned, it is no different than any of the other colleges in the nation, and is up to the national average in statistics. Out of 820 first year students surveyed, over 80 percent are sexually active, but only 44 percent of those reported using condoms. According to Heather Zophy, student health educator, one out of four college students is infected with an STD. "ECU runs neither above nor below the national average. We run right along the curve with the other universities in the nation she said. Although ECU cannot give out specific figures, Zophy said the two most common STDs among campuses are gonorrhea and chlamydia. "Although it is unfortunate to have such a high level of any two STDs, these are the two most treatable she said. Gonorrhea and chlamydia are both caused by a bacteria and can be treated by simple medication available at the Student Health Center. "It is hard to be accurate when reporting the numbers of STDs because 70-80 percent of women have'no symptoms she said. Zophy said she sees everything from herpes to genital warts. Although there are no specific numbers on AIDS patients because of the absence of treatment at ECU, she said there are students presently who are infected. With gonorrhea specifically, 75 percent of women have no symptoms as opposed to only one percent of men. Seventy-five percent of chlamydia's female victims are asymptomatic and 25 percent of men are asymptomatic. The most sobering fact is that chlamydia attacks four million people every year and infects 30 percent of sexually active college students, yet many of them don't know it until it is too late. Either the disease has progressed and caused more damage or they have spread it among many others. The Pitt County Public Health Department reports that there are 35-50 different STDs that exist. "In fact, North Carolina is ranked first in the numbers of people with gonorrhea in the nation and either second or third in syphilis Zophy said. And the United States had the highest rate of AIDS in the industrial world where one out of every 250 people are infected. In the state specifically the Health Department reported that 1,905 were infected with gonorrhea and 1,829 with chlamydia in 1997. The age group affected the most with both diseases was the range of 15-29. Once again it includes the college-age students and even younger. Kelly Knox, assistant health educator, attributes the high statistics to the undetectable symptoms. "Because so many people are asymptomatic, those who are unaware continue to spread the diseases at high rates. Until more education on prevention are available, this problem will continue she said. In the general population, some of the following facts are present for the sexually active: One out of five Americans have an STD 20 percent of the population have herpes 40 percent have chlamydia 33 percent of women have genital warts 20 percent of AIDS victims contracted it in their teens 110-220 people in the US are infected with AIDS everyday east!carolinian AmyRoyster Editor-in-Chief Heather Burgess Managing Editor Celeste Wilson Cover and Layout Design focuS Focus is a combined effort between The East Carolinian and Shearlean Duke's Basic Reporting class in the Department of Communication. 3 Thursday.

More questions and more nerves can be activated if the test is for a sexually transmitted disease. STDs are transmitted through unprotected oral,vaginal, or anal intercourse with an infected partner. The more sexual partners a person has, the greater the likelihood of disease transmission although an STD can be transmitted with oife encounter "Confidentially is assured said Heather Zophy, student health services educator. "Educators arc on a mission. In the case of positive results information is readily available and a health care provider will explain options, while making the student feel more comfortable and at ease Zophy said.

Tests range in pricing Genital Herpes (HSV) Hepatitis B $5 $5 $5 no charge $29 $100 4 48 hours 48 hours 2-3 days (blood test) on site 2-3 days (blood test) 2-3 days (blood test) form $5 tp $100 and result time varies from on the spot to three days. HIV tests are available at no cost at the Pitt County Department of Health and results may take up to two weeks. Students should consider screening if they have ever shared IV drug needles, had unprotected sex or had oral sex or anal sex with someone with a history of STDs. Also, any one who has had intercourse under the influence of alcohol or other drugs and doesn't recall the incident, should be tested. Information on symptoms, treatments, complications, transmission, prevention and procedures is available at the SHS in a pamphlet called "What you need or know about STDs & Screening SHS . is doing everything possible to increase awareness and education. "STDs are often a- symptomatic, and can be spread during that time unconsciously, students should be tested if they are at risk" said Kelly Knox, assistant health educator.

Pick up any magazine and look at an ad. Sex sells. Turn on the TV. Sex means higher ratings. And in college almost every aspect of life is dominated by sex. In health classes you arc- drilled about safer sex (notice no one calls it safe sex anymore). But what about "saved sex"? "Saved sex" or abstinence won't be found in magazines or on TV. But for a growing number of college students, saved sex is becoming a way of life. Abstaining from sex before marriage is an alternative for some students who are worried about sexually transmitted diseases, unwanted pregnancy, and emotional devastation. "Until I find that one person I can trust, I'll wait because having sex with someone takes a part of me and I can never get it back said ECU junior Barbra King, a theatre major. One in five people are presently infected with a STD. Eighty percent do not know of their condition, and have passed it on to others, two-thirds of all STDs occur in people under 25, according to the Medical Institute of Sexual Health. "Statistics don't surprise me so why put myself at risk? I can't prove anything by sleeping around said junior Mike Rollins, a biology major. According to a study by Dr. Paul C. Reisser with Focus on the Family, only two STDs were present in 1965 and both could be treated with penicillin if caught in time. Now, more than 25 diseases exist that get stronger everyday and have cures that are even harder to find. Safer sex proposes limiting the still alive on college campus 7 number of partners one has, which means fewer exposures to potentially fatal diseases, but a lethal disease can be transmitted by a single sexual contact with one infected partner, according to Reisser. Knowing something about a person's sexual history and avoiding sex with someone who has had many partners can help, but how far can you trust someone especially if that person has something to hide? "If I ' was faithful and my partner wasn't, he not only would trample on my heart but could kill me in the process said senior Kathy Tcmpleton, a dance major. Even if you use a condom, you can't be completely safe because condoms have a 17 percent failure rate, according to Karen Jones, anatomy and physiology professor at Pitt Community College. Since condoms are not 100 percent effective, not only can you contract a sexually transmitted disease, but also you could get pregnant. According to Reisser, more than 40 percent of America's unwanted pregnancies begin even though some kind of birth control is being used. There are "Sex affects relationships creating a powerful bond between two people, but can still result in a broken heart if it occurs before marriage said Jones also an abstinence educator. Blake Honeycutt, executive of the Carolina Pregnancy Center said "There is not a condom for emotions. Birth control no quick fixes where human life can fail. The only thing is concerned. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Service, getting pregnant and catching diseases aren't the only way sex can hurt you. Even if you are "lucky" after practicing "safe sex premarital sex can leave emotional scars that you'll feel for the rest of vour life. truly safe is abstinence. A second sexual revolution may be beginning on college campuses and it's all about being safe not sorry. The Carolina Pregnancy Center welcomes opportunities to give abstinence presentations to any campus groups.
