Campaigning together paid off for
the "A Team a group of candi-
dates in the Student Government
elections held Wednesday.
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

outcome of the election.

Jarvis Residence Hall, the universi-
ty's oldest building, is in the
process of being renovated.
"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.

Mall preacher provokes arguments

Many laugk, then

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

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.

Salamon, director of dining ser-

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-

"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

"That boy is a rock and roller
Birdsong said. "Rock and roll is
from the devil. Rap-crap is from the

"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.
"If you're married, you won't
have to work Birdsong said.
"Women should be barefoot, preg-
nant and in the kitchen
Lt. 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. The crowd
quickly dispersed and Birdsong left
campus without further incidence.

relationships to special hospital
groups like the board of trustees.
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.

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

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.

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.

OPINION,

COCHRAN
Columnist
Smile, cope, rise above it all
want to Just stop, take a
day off to just breathe, to
realize there's more to life
than quotidian obligations, to
stop time and catch up with
the swiftly spinning planet
around me.
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.

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.

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,

Have you ever noticed how one
word can paint a mural for the
grand scheme of one object? Well,
if you haven't, Jolene's latest
record, In the Gloaming, is a good
example. After band members
coming and going, a change in
name and years of unsettiement,
cjie "Gloaming" in the title marks
the twilight of Jolene's career
ahead.

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.
Also from Virginia is People's

review
Alejandro Escovedo is a songwriter.
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

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.

vide an in depth history of cult films

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

This nostalgia thing has gone too

tion? The movie Grease, back in I

the past two weeks. So are we now ?
caught up in nostalgia for the 70s
nostalgia for the '50s?
Grease, for those of you who don't j
know, was the musical magnum I
opus of 1978, a loving fantasy about'
high school life in the '50s. Filled ;
with faux-rockabilly numbers and
big dance routines, Grease sent a
generation staring back into their
parents' childhoods and seemingly

coniinued from page 6
until Jolene was later formed. 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.

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

Grease

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

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. It's swiftly
becoming the musical Beastmaster1
so I'm sure you won't have to wait'
very long '?

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

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.

Spring football
practice in full swing
Team takes first steps
toward successful '98
Travis Barkley
SENIOR WRITER
On March 25th the ECU football
team began spring practice in
preparation for the 1998 season.
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.
Coleman was among the
national leaders in sacks last year,
but is not concerned with the
prospect of facing double or triple
teams.

with his improvement and hopes
to see some playing time in the

"I'm not worrying about that, if
they double me then it means I'm
being noticed Coleman said.
A major concern of spring
practice is always the threat of
injury. 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. "We'll start worrying
more about Virginia Tech when
three-a-days start in August

Vie P?"8' Antaine Jones started
ot? Wednesday afternoon's
baseball game in style with a lead-
off home run to deep right field in
the the bottom of the first inning.
Jones's lead-off home run tied the
game up at 1-1 and was only a hint
of more things to "come.
Later in the bottom of the
second the Pirates added a run to
take the lead when Jason Howard
crossed the plate from a sacrifice
RBI off the bat of Jones giving
him his second RBI of the game.
But it was in the bottom of the
third inning when the Pirates
really went to work. Last weeks
CAA player of the week, Ryan
Massimo knocked in an RBI
double scoring Steve Salargo from
first. Then, still in the bottom of
the third Jason Colquitt put N.C.
A&T's Al Holland pitch well
over the out field wall giving ECU
a 5-1 lead and Colquitt his third
home run of the season.
The Pirates scored an
additional three runs in the
, bottom of the fifth two coming off
of Howard's two RBI triple hit
hard into the gap in right-center
field. Howard would later score on
a Colquitt sacrifice RBI bunt.
"I've been in kind of a slump
and I was just trying to drive the
ball the other way and I got a good
pitch to hit and I did, you put a
good swing on it and good things
happen,

up three runs, one from a fielders
choice off the bat of Brian
Sheppard. The other two came
from a two-RBI triple smacked by
Tim Wilson, which brought the
Aggies within seven.
In the top of the eighth the
Aggies pulled together another
rally, this time against Sophomore
pitcher Jeremy Schumacher.
Schumacher was pulled after a
bases loaded walk with two outs
giving NC A&T their eighth run.
In Schumacher's 23 of an inning
performance he gave up four runs
and three hits to bring the Aggies
with in three runs of the lead.
But the Pirates did not give up
and pounded back in the bottom
eighth with four runs and four hits
to increase the lead seven runs,

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

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.

also known as
"itch mites

hygiene and

More STD's for
college age
than any other

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

The usual reaction for one
entering Student Health Services
can be getting nervous and
questions racing through one's
head. 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

Heather Zophy, student health
services educator. "Educators arc

results information is readily

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.

treatments, complications,
transmission, prevention and
procedures is available at the SHS

possible to increase awareness and

Saved sex becoming
common among
college students
JAM I SHKPPARD
KM I s SKI I ION V Rll KR
You live in a sexually-oriented
society. 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. Services

abstinence and saved sex throughout the county as
well as on campus.
