The Chancellor dismissed tenured Speech Pathology profes- sor Sal DeMarco last Thursday for displaying inappropriate behavior despite a recommendation by a fac- ulty due process committee to the contrary. DeMarco was suspended with pay in April of 1997 amid allega- tions that he had demonstrated vio- lent behavior towards colleagues, and shouted obscenities during faculty meetings A panel of six faculty mem- bers was assembled to hear the case and make rec- ommendations to Eakin regarding the termination of DeMarco's position. Chancellor Eakin said he believes he has made the decision that is most appropriate. "I have reviewed the facts of the case and the transcripts, and have Chancellor Richard Eakin ruled to dismiss Oe Marco, overruling the faculty hearing. made the judgment that is in the best interests of the university Eakin said. According to DeMarco, Eakin's decision was unfair because it was Eakin who first brought charges against him, and Eakin who made the final decision. In a written explanation to DeMarco of his dismissal, Eakin stated he believed faculty members were afraid of DeMarco, and that DeMarco had not complied with requests to modify his behavior. "The right way to have done it would have been for him Eakin to have someone else bring the charges it's part of due process DeMarco said. The committee ruled in favor of DeMarco on all the specifications brought before them, citing instances of inappropriate materials placed in DeMarco's file (including anonymous letters placed there without his knowledge), ineffective departmental leadership and ques- tionable university policy towards mediation of disputes.

Ramev SENIOR WRITER Four area bar owners can breathe a little easier after Monday night's ruling by Greenville's City Council. The clubs were excluded from a new zoning ordinance that will keep private clubs out of the Evans Street mall area. Owners of Peasant's Cafe, Wrong Way Corrigans, Cheap Shot O'Malley's and Sports Pad, banded together with the Downtown Association of Restaurants and Taverns (DART) to keep them- selves out of the one block bound- ary of Cotanche, Dickinson, Washington and Reade. This boundary was intro- duced in February by uptown Greenville and the City Council in a plan aimed at bringing daytime shops, restaurants and residents to the Evans Street mall. They were concerned that their plan might Downtown ban now safe from zoning. PHOTO Bt SAtRINA THOMAS conflict with area club owners.

Ramey SENIOR WRITER ECU has one of the lowest student computing and technology fees in the state, but manages to keep one of the most technologically con- nected campuses in the nation by spending its money on what offi- cials call student oriented comput- ing. "Of the $50 students pay, $40 goes to hands-on, discipline specif- ic, student- oriented computing said Ernie Marshbum, director of computer information systems (CIS). 'The other $10 goes to a $13 million bond for upgrading Marshbum has a strict policy against spending student technolo- gy fees on anything but students. "We won't spend that money on a lab instructor's station, tables, desks, chairs or an overhead com- puter screen Marshbum said. "That is specifically for student needs. We will not buy a computer for a faculty member with that fee When deciding on how to spend the money, all departments that want computer technology for their students must submit a request to CIS. This request must ask for what they want specifi- cally. "We evaluate the benefit to the student and com- plement it with money we receive from state fund- ing Marshbum said. "If we order the technology and it is less than the money a specific department was granted, we keep the money and spend it on another department that might need it more ECU spends over $600,000 a year on computer labs.

The ECU psychiatric clinic has opened and is ready to embark on its mission to provide psychiatric services to adults. The new office opened in February and is located in Elizabeth City. "The clinic provides outpatient services and hospital nursing to our patients said Shari Thompson, office manager of the clinic. The clinic also serves as a rural residency training site for physi- cians who have completed medical school and are in a specialized pro- gram. The clinic also provides services for children and adolescents on a monthly basis by board-certified child psychiatrists from the ECU School of Medicine. Dr. Marilyn Hammond directs the clinic Hammond, an associate professor of psychiatric services at ECU, has a long-term goal of increasing the number of psychia- trists who choose to settle and work in rural areas. According to Hammond, most psychiatrists establish their practices in the type of community in which they did their residency training.

Nowhere did those evaluations indicate that I was hostile Despite the Chancellor's ruling and contrary to the committee's decision, committee member Dr. Margie Gallagher said that the Chancellor is adhering to university policy. "It has been my personal expe- rience that the chancellor does not discredit input from the faculty Gallagher said. "The committee provided the chancellor with a report I personally think our report reflected how the committee felt about the case, but the chancel- lor has to rule and he has to live , with that decision DeMarco said he will appeal the ruling to the university board of trustees and then further to the UNC- system board of governors if the trustee's decision is not favor- able. DeMarco, who surfers from multiple sclerosis, has also filed for an investigation by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission alleging that the uni- versity discriminated against him ' by intimidating and harassing him. as well as refusing to reasonably accommodate disabilities that his illness has caused him including spasticity and depression. DeMarco put in his request to be heard by the board of trustees the day that his dismissal was announced. The board has 45 days to decide if they will hear DeMarco's case. DeMarco said he would consider employment with the university if the board of Trustees rules in his favor. Until the board notifies DeMarco on his case status the matter will remain unresolved. Eakin said that he is unsure how the board will rule. "I could not possibly give an opinion Eakin said.

This ordinance has been designed to not bother pre- existing businesses, but to keep new clubs out of the mall.

City Council and uptown Greenville have agreed to spend $750,000 on removing the bricks from the mall and replacing them with a one way street. Estimations put the completion of the mall by the end of the year. Once the mall is complet- ed, no business will be allowed to open in the Evans Street mall area if their primary income is from entertainment or alcohol.

The project artist for the Sonic Plaza, Christopher Janney, is an internationally known sound artist who has created interactive soundarchitecture installations in Rome, Paris, Boston and New York. Upon completion, the "Sonic Plaza" will consist of four elements: the ground cloud, a media glock- enspiel, a percussive water wall and sonic gates. The ground cloud is a 12-foot circle of water mist over a gate designed to "dance according to the whim of the wind, at times static, at times furious Janney said. The media glockenspiel is the clock tower. Inside the face of this clock tower is an circular ring of a dozen, 20-inch video monitors cen- tered around a set of three front doors from which various icons will emerge four times a day. At dawn, a rooster will appear, crowing. At noon, a steam whistle with smoke .and at the end of the day the sound of cannon fire, as if from a pirate ship. Each night at midnight, a sur- prise object and sound will be seen and heard. ECU music and art stu- dents, along with faculty supervi- sion, will determine the sight and sound. As you near the new entrance into Joyner Library, there will be a 15-foot by 40-foot percus- sion water wall. Within this wall will be 64 water jets arranged to play a series of constant changing patterns of water mist. Janney designed the fountain to respond to activity, using proximity sensors.

Joyner graduated from ECU in 1974 with a bachelor of science in business administration. Upon returning to the univer- sity in 1978, Joyner received his masters degree in counselor edu- cation. He then went on to become a university residence counselor from 1979-1988. I was kind of the guidance counselor in the residence halls Joyner said. "We (the university residence counselors) would come in Monday through Friday from 8 a. m. to 5 p. m. and did career exploration, provided aca- demic information to the stu- dents and helped students with personal and social difficulties Joyner advanced to become the coordinator of the freshmen experience seminar and the assis- tant director of orientation.

He also teaches COAD (the department of counselor and adult education) courses. "COAD helps students on three different levels Joyner, said.

Don't they know it's our God-given right as college students to spend our week- ends in an alcoholic haze? All those old fogeys want to do is spoil our fun, right? Not really. The new law might not be as bad as ECU students think it is. The law that was passed by the City Council only applies to the Evans Street Mall area, better known as the brick walkway where Energy is. New bars will only be prohibited from being opened in the area bordered by Cotanche, Dickinson, Washington and Reade. That's really not a whole lot. It's more like a one-block area. New bars and dance clubs could still open up, so long as they are outside of the designated area. That leaves 99 percent of Greenville available for bumpin grindin' and boozin As popular as places like the Cellar and the Sports Pad are with some students, there are some who would like to see a greater variety downtown than dance club after dance club. Downtown Greenville could see a growth of restaurants and shops of all kinds on Evans Street. A crop of new restaurants is something downtown sorely needs. Most downtown areas in major college towns have a wide range of food available to students. With a few excep- tions, the biggest decision students can make now is what kind of pizza or subs to have. Under the new law, restaurants can be allowed to have alcohol and entertainment, so long as more than half of their money comes from food sales. More places to shop will be a welcome addition to the cigar stores and head shops we already have. It would be great to have places right downtown to buy clothes, rent movies, and so on. Residential areas are in the plan. Hopefully, they will be affordable enough for students to live in. They could provide another spot for off-campus housing within walking distance of campus. At the first glance, the new law looks like an effort to stifle what goes on downtown. Actually, it is a move to create a more diverse environment and revive an area in a slump. If we wait, soon there will be a better downtown that has something for everybody. A lit- tle variety is never a bad thing. OPINIOI (Columnist Jeff BERGMAN We're not as civilized as we think we are not that civilized. Maybe, we will never be the civil society we like to think we are. Civilization: making or becom- ing civilized. Civilize(d): to cause to improve from a savage or primi- tive stage of human society to a more developed one. The social psychologists, news media, religious leaders and the anti-gun lobby will all try to explain what happened in Arkansas. Some blame society as a whole; our fasci- nation with violence and guns are the cause of the shooting. Others might blame the parents, the kids or even Satan as the cause of the children's trouble. I believe I have happened upon the answer. The human race is not civilized. As a species we have either com- mitted or allowed genocide to hap- pen all to often. Hider tried to eradicate, homosexuals, followers of the Jewish faith, the handicapped and whoever the hell he felt was not "perfect Our own govern- ment has killed or attempted to kill leaders of foreign nations. Ethnic cleansing has recently happened in Bosnia and Somalia to name two. We, as United States citizens, flinch when the President orders troops to stabilize one of these regions. Civilized? Traffic accidents happen all the time. Slowing down to see what happened satisfies our morbid curiosity. The flashing lights of the ambulance draw our eyes to the gruesome seen like a vulture to a carcass. Human generosity takes a back seat to animal instincts. As a society, many of us have evolved the ability to go deaf on demand. "Spare a quarter, mister said he. Said I, nothing, my eyes averted from this man. My eyes, your eyes they too have turned away from another human being. We justify our silence by saying these people are alcoholics, on crack, or whatever we feel is neces- sary to alleviate our conscience. I have seen animals with more com- passion than you or me. We laugh and joke at other peo- ple's misfortune. What is the dif- ference between Christopher Reeve and O.J. Simpson? O.J. walked. I laughed, as did everyone else I knew who heard the joke. Cops is still being broadcast. The Ultimate Fighting Championships draw huge crowds, both in the arenas and on televi- sion. Watch the highlights from a NASCAR race; two things are usu- ally shown: the winner getting the checkered flag and wrecks. Listen to the crowd at a boxing match, hit'em, pulverize the kid or even kill him. What happened in Arkansas was a tragedy. I am not saying I am any better than everyone else. All I am trying to say is that we are not that civilized. Maybe, we will never be the civil society we like to think we are. Remember, the Roman Empire thought they were civi- lized. What does history tell us about them? I am not advocating a Neanderthal type of life-style. All I am saying is that we should not pre- tend to be something we are not. LETTEI jto the editot State's impeding colleges This letter is being written in response to the article "University no longer accepting out-of-state applications appearing in The East Carolinian on April 21. The true reason for the restrict- ed university admission policy for the University of North Carolina system is not really financially based, as the article explains. The state of North Carolina would love to reduce the amount of money it is required to give the constituent schools of the system and place that financial burden on out-of state students. There is a larger problem, however, that restricts the ability of North Carolina to do this. Who is to blame? The North Carolina public school system, which ranks a whopping 48th in the country in terms of SAT scores. What this means is that many thou- sands of North Carolina high school graduates are literally unable to attend college outside of North Carolina. What all this means is that the North Carolina public school sys- tem is hurting the UNC system by not allowing the constituent uni- versities to accept the best students who apply, thereby improving the universities. Iastead, they are required to accept students "educt- ed" in North Carolina � students who are literally unable to read and write a simple paragraph (I have graded junior-level papers here and was appalled). Unfortunately, North Carolina would rather penalize universities for trying to admit better students than address a real problem, that of the totally inadequate education it is providing for its children. Robert H. Kelley Graduate Student Maritime History umnists Marvelle Sullivan: NO Does ECU really need a new dining nail? William Stacey Cochran: YES a new cafeteria will only benefit a small portion of the student body East Carolina University has decided to build a new cafeteria for the West campus. Honesdy, building this new cafeteria is a good thought but definitely not the brightest idea that has ever hit the university adminis- tration. Of course it would be nice to have a new eating facility, but there are just too many others things of which we are in dire need. Students, faculty and everyone and their brothers have been practically beg- ging for a parking deck. A parking deck is what we need if there is money to bum. The lack of money may be a factor stifling the con- struction of the parking deck, so now that money is present, let's just utilize it for something we do not necessarily need, right? There are numerous reasons that the funding should be allotted to a different project. First, a new cafeteria will only benefit a small portion of the student body. ECU, relative to other state and private universities, has a very low percentage of students who reside on cam- pus. Out of those on campus students, many do not even regularly dine at the dining hall due to lack of time, quality of food, etc So why can the money not be used for a project that profits a greater portion of the student body (like a park- ing deck)? The situation would be entirely different if there were only one cafeteria to facilitate the entire ECU campus, but we are spending money to replace something we already have. It is ludicrous! The issue would not be so frustrating if there seemed to be some logical and coher- ent motivation for this con- struction. I am sorry, but the need for more student ser- vices does not justify the cafe- teria project. The whole thing is just frivolous. I have lived on West campus, eaten in Mendenhall, the whole nine yards, and it really was not that traumatic (except for maybe the salad bar around closing time). At a rime when the university is making great strides in such a variety of areas, it would be very appropriate to give this campus something that would benefit most all of the students and the faculty�whether it be a new parking deck, a bridge over Tenth Street, a raise in professor's salaries � anything besides a dining hall! Again it is not as if a new hall wouldn't be nice, it is just not necessary. And when it comes to money, especially around here, necessity should rule. .the need for more student ser- vices does not justify the cafeteria project give this campus something that would benefit most all � of the students and the faculty Mendenhall Dining Facility was built in 1974, nearly a quarter century ago. For the past 24 years, it has stood as a place for thousands upon thousands of stu-j dents to eat together as a united student body. It has been a place to socialize, to study, to relax � in short, ' it has been a place to be an East Carolina University j student. It is where we go when we need nourish- j ment. But buildings change. I remember eating at Jones J Hall Cafeteria long before ground was broken on ' East Campus's commodious Todd Dining Hall � Students stood in lines that literally streamed out of . the bowels of Jones Hall (pun painfully intended). But alas, times changed. Mendenhall could not11 efficiently serve the influx of students making the trek from College Hill to avoid Jones Hall's roach- infested, 200-seater, "cafeteria" (I use this term loosely. My father and mother used to cat in Jones back in the eariy '60s, so by 1992 it was truly crum- bling and squalid). Students flooded Mendenhall between 5:45 and j 6:45 PM, and it was not uncommon for lines to reacrT out to the central courtyard outside of Mendenhall. There was no question about the need for Todd. And Todd Dining Hall has certainly helped attenuate the mass of students herded into Mendenhall every evening. Still though, there are ten dorms on central and west campus (four of which are high rises) and only five in close proximity to Todd (with Tyler being the only high rise on the Hill). Central and west campus students have become the ones who make the trek in order to avoid the overcrowding and less refined con ditions of Mendenhall. But the student body has grown. There are times when it is simply impossible toj; find a table in Mendenhall due to overcrowding (ancC don't you hate that feeling of helplessness when- you're standing there with a tray of food in your- hands but there's no place to sit and it feels like half, the dining hall is watching to see how you handle your precariously held tray, while all-t he- while you're trying to look cool and find a place to sit and winking at one or two of the opposite sex and managing some- how not spilling that grilled cheese and tater tots which any gourmand can appreciate). And even Todd becomes overcrowded during its peak hours. Fact is, we simply need a larger and more efficient diruri�facility. One can complain about the lack of parking and the need for a parking deck, but it is this nickle-and- dime columnist's belief that students need efficient- ly served food more so than a place to park their Hyundai. I mean, you gotta eat (although Hyundais certainly have their place too). The new 600-seat dining hall will be a welcome addition to west campus. And let's face it; ECU's din- ing services make an exorbitant amount of money from monopolizing our dining choices. A new dining hall will attract more students and make even more money for good ole ECU. It will assure continued growth and diversification to ECU, the pride of Eastern North Carolina. ?� Write a letter to the editor! 5 Thursday Apr WHhTl Presid PLU 510S GRO 110 Wi PLU 5057 GRO OOO'OS Honey PLU 5058 GRO 00000"05l In ?& WithThisi Am.

For the millions of Van Halen fans everywhere, the wait is finally over as Van Halen III is in stores and available for mass consumption. Unfortunately, it lacks the spark and energy that fans have come to expect from the band and could easily leave buyers regretting spending the money. Last summer, the band domi- nated headlines as they shuffled between three singers. First, there was the surprise firing of front man Sammy Hagar, who had been in the band for over ten years. Next, the band reunited with their origi- nal lead singer David Lee Roth for two songs for their greatest hits package. Fans waited with baited breath to see if the once tumul- tuous relationship between Roth and guitarist Eddie Van Halen had settled down. Their fears were realized when, in September, Roth was given the boot a second time and former Extreme singer Gary Cherone was hired. The band was silent thereafter until work on the new album was completed. Only then "did they emerge from the confines of Van Halen's studio to talk to the press. Their message was clear This is our best album ever and Cherone is the best singer this band has ever had. Based on this message, it would appear that the band has not yet listened to their own album. Van Halen III has received mixed reactions from fans, and pales have been disappointing. In fact, is the first Van Halen album not to go to 1 on Billboard's charts since 1983's 1984. One listen explains why the album has failed fo impress the record buying pub- I The album starts off wonderful- ly with a short instrumental called fNeworld Featuring piano and acoustic guitar, it relaxes listeners just before the second track, Without You" smacks them in the i face. "Without You" takes a little getting used to for a number of rea- sons. i First, there is the adjustment to the new voice. Second, the version on the record is the original demo, so there are some rough spots and a few odd notes. However, after a couple of listens, "Without You" easily becomes the best song on the CD. The biggest problem with the record is the songwriting. In inter- views, Eddie talked at great length about how proud he is of the words on this album. He says, "For the first time ever, the words inspired Hie music That explains why the longs lack the charisma of typical Van Halen songs. Lyrically, the songs try to say too SEt VAN HALEN.

Through means both legal and oth- erwise (mostly otherwise), bootleg entrepreneurs deal their wares to eager customers worldwide who crave rare entertainment nuggets. Want to see the new Godzilla movies being made in Japan? Go to a video bootleg- ger. Weird Mexican wrestling movies? Ditto. Pornographic Swedish game shows? You guessed it. Bootleg video is the only way to go. How do these tapes get made? Connections, baby, connections. The good video bootlegger has con- nections around the world who sup- ply him with the strange, the off- beat, the stuff that no legit video company would touch with a ten- foot pole. He makes copies of the tapes, xeroxes some kind of box art and puts the whole package on sale via sci-fi and movie conventions, through the internet, in his parents' garage wherever he can. If this sounds like a specialty market, it is. But there's still a dizzying array of material only avail- Marry Christinas from the Star Wars gang PHOTO COURTESY OF BORA FETT able through bootleggers, some of it surprising. Until recendy, pubes- cent staple Heavy Metal was only available through bootleggers, as was Ralph Bakshi's animated clas- sic American Pop. And The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai, one of the biggest cult movies this side of Rocky Horror, has gone out of print Legally, anyway. �' I've been introduced to whole new worlds of cinema through boots. Sure, in the wake of the suc- cess of films like Broken Arrow and Face-Off, Hong Kong action direc- tor John Woo is enjoying immense popularity. But where did he gar- ner his American following? Through the legion of fans introduced to his work by bootleg- gers. Though you can now get Woo classics Hard Boiled and The Killer on legal video, his really hard-hitting films, such as Heroes Shed No Tears or Bullet in the Head, are available only through bootlegs. And Woo's fellow Hong Kong native Jackie Chan? Though the market is flooded with his crappy early films, his best are still unavailable. Chan classic Project A, which features his best prop fight, the infamous bicycle chase attack, can only be seen through bootlegs. Likewise, Chan's best film ever, the glorious Drunken Master II, has never been released in America. If you're a fan of anime (or Japanimation, if you must), the best stuff is only available through shady Jackie Chan in Drunken Master II is worth life in prison. PHOTO COURTESY OF FBI means. The hugely popular series Macross (partially adapted in America as '80s cartoon series Robotech) remains unavailable in its original form. And more recent releases, such as the fantasy anime Vision of Escofoteme or the critically- acclaimed Memories (from Akira cre- ator. Katsuhiro Otomo), are avail- able only in pricey, untranslated Japanese imports. But it's not only products of Asia that can be found through your friendly neighborhood bootlegger. American television classics can also be sought out if you know the right people. Bootlegs can be thanked for the continuing popu- larity of Ralph Bakshi's infamous Mighty Mouse cartoon show (the one that supposedly showed Mighty snorting cocaine � a false allegation, but provocative nonetheless). Then there's the jewel in the bootleg video crown, the long-lost Star Wars Holiday Special. Who knew they celebrated Christmas in that galaxy far, far away?

But when it hit you, it hit hard. Hard is the only way Nashville Pussy knows. They proved that Sunday night at the Brewery in Raleigh. Subtlety isn't Nashville Pussy's strong point This is a band who took their name from a Ted Nugent song called "Wang Dang, Sweet Poontang Their new album on Amphetamine Reptile records is Let Them Eat Pussy. Athens, Georgia is home to the band's headquarters. Pussy Manor. Frontman Blaine Cartwright and lead guitarist Ruytcr prowled through the crowd before the show began. The husband and wife duo look like they'd beat the crap out of Mickey and Mallory or any other natural bom killers. They're natural bom rock-n-rollers. A tidy girl wear- ing one of those teeny-weenie faux- leather backpacks looked around nervous, lost Cartwight and Ruyter made it to the stage, where they were joined by bassist Corey Parks, 6'3" and tat- tooed everywhere; the Harley Davidson tattoo on her midsection proclaims, "EAT ME She's a supermodel for Satan. Ruyter and Parks are as likely to smooch you as boot you.

They're half Supersuckers and half Lloyd Price. They even covered the Smokey Robinson-penned, "First I Look at the Purse Cartwright late of cow-punkers Nine Pound Hammer, growls more than sings, which is appropriate when you're singing songs with names like "Go Motherfucker Go "I'm the Man "Somebody Shoot Me" and "Eat My Dust" They know how to put on a show: Ruyter blazes away on guitar while going down on a guy's middle finger; Parks just blazes, breathing fire in the middle of the Brewery crowd or pulling down her leopard- print bra to reveal a breast; drummer Jeremy Thompson beats up his drums, stone-eyed. But the music is good too. Somewhere, buried deep down in the noise and grudge is rhythm, a rhythm that you can feel and you know Nashville Pussy feels. It's in their sweat. You feel that too, because they sling it at you. Their act or music isn't new. Nothing's new. But Nashville Pussy makes you worry. They scare you some. The way rock-n-roll should. They ended it with "Fried Chicken and Coffee The music was at its most deafening, Ruyter and Parks swapped girl spit and Cartwright screamed over and over and over, "Nashville Pussy Like there was a chance you could forget Nashville Pussy. tube BOOB You witch TVT Of course you do � you're an American.

Van Halen continued from page 6 much and become burdened by the message. Still, Cherone could prob- ably pull it off on songs like "Dirty Water Dog" and "Ballot or the Bullet" if there were better chorus- es. With lines like, "I'm a peek-a- boy, looking at girlsand I think I like, I think I like what I see" "Dirty Water Dog" does not stand a chance. Musically, the album sounds like a band trying to rip off Van Halen. Eddie, long acknowledged as a gui- tar virtuoso, falls short of his poten- tial as some songs contain stale, rehashed riffs and leads, and others merely lack any real substance at all. Still, they all pale in comparison to the last, and arguably the worst. song on the CD, "How Many Say I This six-minute opus features Eddie singing lead vocals for the first time. With a voice comparable to Pink Floyd's Roger Waters, Eddie ventures down a road better left unexplored. None of the lyrics to this song are very strong; but the ' chorus is the worst part as "How many, how many say I?" is repeated endlessly with Cherone singing har- mony. The second chorus repeats that single line 11 times. Anyone ever heard of overkill? In all, this album has few high- lights. "Neworld" and "Without You" are both excellent, but they are basically different forms of the same song. After that, "Dirty Water Dog "Fire in the Hole" and "One I Want" are listenable, but not plea- surable. Hopefully, the band will come to their senses soon and make the album that fans know they are capable of making and Van Halen III can be left for bargain bins every- where. continued from oege 8 cally, illegal id sell or own.

MTV coniingtd from page 6 Add in the commercials and the chatter about why the video for Hooties "Hold My Hand" deserves a "5" and you get exactly three videos per half-hour. This isn't much of an improvement over the two videos per half-hour the network used to show, if they showed videos at all. This, of course, is the problem with MTV. The characteristic about MTV that bugs Bart Simpson (and the rest of us too) is not the VJs. I could put up with Pinhead if I knew the following videos were worth watching. The problem with MTV is not that the game shows suck (though they do) or that the VJs are boring and banal (though they are.) No, the problem with MTV is that they need to show morevideos. I'm not sure who runs MTV, but they still haven't gotten the point This past week, in yet another effort to draw viewers back to the fold, the network brought back all the clasic VJs and had them play 12 Angry Viewers, with Kennedy host- ing the show. Bleah. At the same time, MTV decided to give its faithful viewers the chance to vote on who the newest VJ would be. There were no limits to how many times one could vote, and since voting was done chiefly online, all those wackos who used to mail in stupid commentary to MTV Yack got to vote as many times as they wanted to. They picked (from an otherwise pleasant group of people) the most annoying, predictable character, a fellow named Jesse. Jesse looks like Perry Farrell. Dresses like him too. Come to think of it Jesse sang a little ditty (rather than show a video) and golly, he sounded just like Perry Farrell. He so resembles Perry Farrell in every way that I was genuinely frightened, more frightened than I would have been if I'd seen the real Perry Farrell. He was thinner than the Jane's Addiction frontman, but I'd be willing to bet that he shoots more heroin than Perry. He was, after all, weirder than Perry. There are still' not any more videos per hour than there were last week The 10 Spot keeps happen- ing. The endless reruns of what seems like the fifth Madonna spe- cial in the past 4 years keep going on. I think the only reason we're not still seeing reruns of the Video Music Awards is because the tape must have broken from overuse. In other words, MTV sucks just as bad as it did when Bart wrote "I no longer want my MTV The whole thing reminds me of the Food Lion bleached meat scandal a few years back. If you bleach rancid meat, the bleach won't kill all the germs, it'll just fill the meat full of chlorine. Then you have rancid meat that tastes like bleach. Yummy. The same holds true for MTV. If you fill a rancid network with new VJs, they won't change the fact that the network is rancid. You'll just have a rancid network with bad VJs to boot Ohhh- I think I lost my appetite.

"Being drafted by the Dolphins in my home state is extra special Representatives of the Dolphins had been looking at Shannon for a while.

Flit PHOTO Lady Pirate softball secures top seed FOR MORE INFORMATION www.tec.ecu.edu Regilar season closed with 14-2 conference record Travis Bark lev SEMOR WRITER The ECU softball team continued their outstanding play over the weekend, winning three out of four games and capturing the Big South Conference regular season championship. The Pirates have secured the top seed in the Big South Tournament for the second year in a row. On Saturday, the Pirates split a double-header against the University of Maryland at Baltimore County. UMBC snapped ECU's 13-game winning streak in the first game 3-0. Lisa Paganini allowed only five hits but took the loss as UMBC scored single runs in the second, fourth and fifth innings. The second game saw ECU get back on track with a shutout of their own. Pirate shortstop Marnie Oursler doubled with one out in the top of the first. Oursler came home on Isonette Polonius' single, scoring the only run of the game. One run was all Pirate starter Denise Reagan would need as she cruised to her seventh shutout of the season. The win raised Reagan's record to 17-5, 7-0 in the Big South. Reagan lowered her ERA to 1.07 and extended her streak of consecutive innings without an earned run to 36.1. The win against UMBC meant that the Pirates needed one win against George Mason to wrap up the conference title. ECU would get that win in the first game on Sunday. The Pirates trailed 1-0 in the top of the fifth but rallied, scoring four runs in the inning. ECU added three in the sixth for a 7-1 final. Senior starter Jami Bendle got her biggest win of the season, improving to 14-6 on the year. Even though the conference tide was on the line, Bendle said she wasn't nervous. "I didn't feel any extra pressure because I didn't know it was the clincher Bendle said. At the plate the Pirates banged out 11 hits. Polonius went 2-2 with two RBIs and senior Christi Valcvich was 3-3 with two RBIs as well. The second game on Sunday was rained out and moved to Monday afternoon. On Monday ECU continued their dominant play, winning 4-0 behind the strong pitching performance of Paganini. The shutout was Paganini's seventh of the year. She scattered seven hits and struck out four to improve to 8-6. There was no letdown, even though the Pirates had already clinched the number one seed the day before. "We wanted to go out and have fun Bendle said. "We didn't want to drop another game Head Coach Tracey Kee said that the Pirates will continue to play hard the rest of the season. "The girls realize that just because we have the number one seed, we aren't going to lay down for two weeks Kee said. The Pirates will begin preparing for the Big South Tournament by playing in the Hokie Invitational this weekend in Blacksburg, Va. "Hopefully we will go there and get in five games Kee said. "That way I can throw all of my pitchers out there and see a lot of at-bats "It'll be nice to play some different teams Bendle said. "It will help us get used to tournament play ECU's record now stands at 39- 17. Their 14-2 conference mark is the team's best ever. While the Pirates are playing extremely well, Kee says there is always room for improvement "I think our pitchers need to maintain what they're doing Kee said. "Offensively we need to continue driving the ball hard ECU faces North Carolina A&T in the first round of the Hokie Invitational on Friday at 3 p.m. Big South Player of the Week Isonette Polonius .714 Avg.

Although club football has lost much of its support over the years, this will mark the second time in three years an attempt has been made at resurrecting the sport. Many forget that ECU was one of the original club football teams in North Carolina among others such as UNC and N.C. State. ECU posted an impressive record in those years, winning the championship five times. The university, along with club sports program directors, has been reluctant to start a new team due to increasing liability costs. If ECU students, faculty and staff can show enough interest in developing a team, a green light has been given to start. Starting the team will require at least 30 individuals wanting to have fun and play against surrounding schools. Tommy Dorsey and Lynn Featherstone spoke at the meeting on behalf of returning a team to ECU. Dorsey is an ECU alumni who is now a graduate student at Duke University and an offensive lineman on Duke's club football team. Featherstone is a faculty adviser and coach of UNC's championship team. "The team gives the young guys another chance to play ball if they didn't get a scholarship and gives us old guys a chance to butt heads with 40-year-old men Dorsey said. Featherstone compares the club football talent level with that of a low-level division three team. The program is open to everyone interested and no experience is necessary. The only cost is that of the entry fee, which has been tentatively set at $150 per player, not including equipment costs. The total cost of starting the team will tentatively be about $4800 which will go toward league entrance fees, referees, fields and miscellaneous costs. The team would need to raise about $2500. "The prices have to be high enough so we can get a team started but low enough to attract people Dorsey said. "There are also many ways that the money can be raised: we've done raffles, car washes; you'd be surprised how much money we raised for our squad The team would practice three times a week and play games on Sundays. Traveling could either be by van or driving your own car to the games. "It's really a good time; it's fun to travel to different schools and play on their fields Featherstone said. "Plus you get to hit guys from Duke and Carolina every week. What could be better?" Not much, unless N.C. State was still in the league. Another meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, April 19 in room 142 at Minges Coliseum at 7 p.m. Support and participation is much needed so if you are interested, come out and see what the program is all about.

Superstitious beliefs ease athletes' minds Pirates share their superstitions with TEC Paul Kaplan SE1IOI WHITER In every sport, all over America and all over the world there is one thing that mostly all athletes do regardless of their sport . No matter where you go or what team you are watching, you can always find those individual athletes who have their interesting superstitions and quirks that are inherent to them. For all those of you who have seen the movie Major League, you should remember a character by the name of Pedro Cerrano. Cerrano is the epitome of an athlete caught up in superstition. For those of you who never saw Major League, Cerrano has a problem hitting curve balls. In his words, "I hit straight ball very far, curve ball I no hit at all So for the majority of the movie Cerrano prays to Jobu and even makes offerings to him. In a more realistic situation looking at the NBA's Michael Jordan, whose name often comes to mind first because of his history throughout his professional career of wearing his old Carolina Blue Tar Heel shorts under his uniform. More locally and closer to home you can find many athletes, maybe not with the fame and fortune of Michael Jordan, or the devout religious practices of Cerrano, but they do have who have their own individual superstitions. "One superstition that I have is that I wear the same shorts every game. I have been doing it since last year. Last year I had a pretty good season and I just kept wearing those shorts and this year, so far f have been playing pretty well baseball team captain Randy Rigsby said. "Also if I get in a pretty good groove, I'll keep doing the same things before each game to get into a routine. I try to get the same routine, maybe it is helping, maybe it's not, but it helps me mentally This actually turns out to be the way that most coaches and athletes at the college level look at their preparation for games and practices. "I'm possibly the most unsuperstitious guy there is, I played baseball and football in college and I just never got into that. I just don't have any of the those kind of hang tips head football coach Steve Logan said. "I just get so consumed with the teaching aspects, like have we taught it correctly, more than which which shoe I tied first, or if I tied it correctly It turns out that of the many coaches and players spoken to, the majority of them do not believe that superstitions make you the player, and that it is the hard work that does. "A lot of the guys on the team have superstitions, but mostly it's your basic work hard and get stuff done attitude baseball player Ryan Massimo said. "You get on a hot streak and you try to stay with the same things. I don't really believe in it, I just try to work hard and things work out Although superstitions work for some, for most they are more trivial then helpful, and we all must remember that even Pedro Cerrano left Jobu and his superstitions behind in the end of the movie. The Pirate baseball team-suffered a disappointing loss to Winthrop on Tuesday night, 12-10. The next home game for the team will be on Friday, May 1 against James Madison.

Some of the sports currently in action include Softball, indoor soccer, tennis doubles, water polo, four-on-four flag football, golf and frisbee golf doubles. Softball has the most participation of all the sports. Levels of competition range from men's gold and purple, women's gold and purple, co-ed gold and purple and Greek gold and purple. Softball allows 10 people on the field and a maximum of 12 can bat at certain levels. There are four fields, two behind and two in front of the stadium. Indoor soccer is played at Christcnbury Gym and is played with seven to a team. Tennis doubles are being played at the tennis courts by Minges and a maximum of two to a team can participate. Water polo, which is being played at the SRC pool, allows five to a team. This sport is different than the water polo many people think of. It is played in inner tubes which the person must be sitting on top of while trying to throw the ball into the goal. Four-on-four flag football is a new addition to the intramural program. It will consist of four players to a team and has only 32 minutes of playing time with no halftime. The games will be held at the bottom of College Hill before the sun goes down. "We are going to try it out and see how it goes and hopefully it will be a success said David Gaskins, director of intramurals. Golf singles is also in action and there are two divisions: gold and purple for both men and women golfers. Frisbee golf doubles is also a new addition to the intramural program this season. All games will be played at the frisbee golf course by the track and baseball field. Some of the summer sports that will be available to the students in May include softball, five-on-five basketball and tennis singles. In June there will be volleyball, racquetball, frisbee golf singles and a basketball Intramural S updateaCa 1 aV 4B Summer Programs May 27 Softball Mtg.4:00 SRC Class 27 5-on-5 Basketball Mtg.4:30 SRC Class 28 Tennis Singles Deadline5:00 SRC Office Juna 3 Volleyball Mtg.4:00 SRC Class 5 Racquetball Deadline5:00 SRC Office 10-11 Frisbee Golf Singles3-6 Frisbee Golf 17 Basketball Shooting4:00 SRC Forum July 1 Softball Mtg.4:00 SRC Class 1 3-on-3 Basketball Mtg.4:30 SRC Class 2 Racquetball Deadline5:00 SRC Office 8 Sand Volleyball Mtg.4:00 SRC Class 9 1-on-1 Basketball5:00 SRC Office 15 Golf Deadline5:00 SRC Office 16-17 Frisbee Golf Singles3-6 Frisbee Golf shooting contest.

Gonzalez officially signed with the Cowboys on Monday. Gonzalez had many scouts from the NFL watching him play. Seven teams were interested in adding Gonzalez including the New England Patriot, Seattle Scahawks, Atlanta Falcons, Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens.

"I left it on my desk. I never leave my room without it. I carry it in my backpack all the time Easterlin does not mean his keys or his one card, he means his inhaler� the medication that not only helps to clear his bronchial tubes but also cleared his way to college. Unlike other scholarship recipients, Easterlin is not an athlete or a genius. He is, however, asthmatic, and thanks to the North Carolina Division of Vocation Rehabilitation, Easterlin is also a full four-year scholarship recipient due to his illness. As a child born with asthma, Easterlin spent long periods in the hospital hooked up to a nebulizer and being given Provental, a drug that helps relax the bronchial tubes. "Anything can trigger my attacks Easterlin said. "Just having a cold or even coughing can start an attack Easterlin, a music education major from Laurinburg, was selected from hundreds of other North Carolina high school students who had any physical disabilities to receive this scholarship, based solely on a physical exam and medical history. "I never applied for the scholarship Easterlin said. "I think they got my name from a school list of kids that had asthma never applied for the scholarship, I think they got my name from a school list of kids that had asthma. Jonathan Easterlin Easterlin believes he would still have been able to attend college without the scholarship, but admits it's a lot easier since he would have had to get a job in order to attend ECU. Because of his illness Easterlin is limited in the jobs he can perform. He cannot work outdoors due to the severity of his allergies. "I'm allergic to everything except goat saliva he said, laughing, "which is okay since I haven't met any goats But Easterlin's illness does not stop him from playing the guitar, his first love. Easterlin began playing in the 10th grade, teaching himself to play both acoustic and electrical guitar. "One day I'd like to teach other kids to play the guitar as well � maybe give private lessons out of my house he said. For now Easterlin is a guitarist in a local band called Immunity, and perfects his trombone playing, his instrument of concentration. When Easterlin plays in smoke-filled clubs he deals with the problem the same way he deals with anything connected to his illness, with a calm and level head. "I can't go to clubs because of my asthma, but I still love to play with my band he said. "If the smoke from the other members gets too bad I just go outside and get some fresh air Although Easterlin's four- member rock band was formed only this past fall, he sees great things ahead. When it comes to his illness, Easterlin takes a positive attitude and jokes, "Now that it's got me to college, I hope I grow out of it even PHOTO BY SABRINA THOMAS Financial Aid Office provides information Various scholarships available LEE NOLES FOCUS SECTION WRITER From local scholarships, such as a $100 award for math majors, to national scholarships, such as a $5,000 award for minority accounting students, ECU offers a range of opportunities. To find out about these opportunities just visit the financial aid office, where you can pick up folders full of information. Or better yet, browse the World Wide Web, which allows students a free search sponsored by the College Board. "We encourage students to explore every avenue of opportunity for sources and scholarships said Maryann Jenkins, assistant director of student financial aid. Students can stop by Financial Aid from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m Monday through Friday, and look through folders that tell about the scholarships each department offers. One can find out how much each scholarship provides and for how long and about the requirements by browsing through the folders. In the future, one will be able to find out about university and departmental scholarships by clicking on the East Carolina home page, www.ecu.edufinancial. The page is now under development. One can also click on the World Wide Web and visit different locations such as www.rams.comsmsearch.htm and www.collegenet.commach23. Both are free searches that can help you learn more about national scholarships. To find out about other web sites visit the financial aid office. Students can also ask within their own departments. Departmental scholarships range from $100, such as the John B. Davis Award for math majors with an interest in statistics, to $1,000 for the Richard C. Todd scholarship for full-time outstanding seniors who are history majors. Another source is the Office of National Fellowships and Scholarships (NFS), which is part of the College of Arts and Sciences and is located in Brewster Hall A- 212. The program, founded in 1996, is geared to helping both East Carolina graduate and undergraduate students receive national scholarships for graduate programs. "Anyone who is thinking about graduate school will benefit from this program said Dr. Lorraine check out these web sites for national scholarships www. ramscomsmsearch. htm www. collegenet. commach23 for other sites visit the financial aid office Aragon, head of NFS. "Going to graduate school is a tough job and my office helps people plan for getting ready to go into a graduate program" The NFS offers a selection of national scholarships to choose from. The office also helps prepare students for graduate school by writing supporting letters and teaching students how to write essays. Scholarships range from $500 to $20,000 a year, Aragon said. The NFS not only offers information on national scholarships but also gives free workshops. Any ECU student interested in a graduate program can attend the workshop, held at the Community Service Building. The workshops, led by Aragon and Dr. James Westmoreland of Career Services, help students choose a graduate program and a university. They also teach students how to write a strong application. "Students have said that it has helped them said Aragon, who has seen 100 students come through the office in the fall of 1997. However, she warns students that it is very important to begin the process of testing and writing applications at least a year in advance. If students have further questions about graduate scholarships they can go by Brewster A-212 of call 328-1074 or go by Career Services on Fifth Street. Got Something to say? Need somewhere to say it?

Even so, East Carolina's athletic budget is one of the lowest in the state, said Athletic Director Mike Hamrick. The football program offers the most athletic grants at 85. "Football has the most grants Marvin Mitchell assistant athletic director full in-state costs 16,530. "We don't base a scholarship on in- state or out-of-state status Mitchell said. "We base it on the quality of the athlete both on and off the field. If we have two athletes that are the same position and ability, one being in-state and one out-of-state, we'll take the in- state athlete because it will save us a little money Athletic grants play an important role in the East Carolina athletic program. "I believe without � J scholarships, the athletic program would be very mediocre Mitchell said. "It would be more like an intramural program. We wouldn't be able to attract star potential without scholarships One important fact about athletic scholarships is that they arc on a year-to-year basis. "If an athlete doesn't perform on or especially in the classroom, he or she will lose their scholarship Hamrick said. The only way athletes can receive a scholarship for their entire college education is if they receive a career- ending injury. "We here at East Carolina feel an obligation to continue an athlete's education so they can become a competent and successful member of society Mitchell said. ECU spent over $2.6 million on athletic grants for the 1997-98 school year. ECU'S athletic budget is one of the lowest in the state. Athletic scholarships are awarded on a yeer-by-year basis. HI PHOTO The National Collegiate Athletic Association regulates how many athletic grants can be rewarded and also regulates academic standards. For the first two years, athletes must follow the same academic standards as all ECU students. If they don't have a 1.8 grade point average by fall of their junior year, the athlete will be ineligible to play. "The higher NCAA academic standards help create an all-around athlete Mitchell said. Being a student athlete isn't all fun and games. It takes a lot of heart and dedication to be triumphant. "East Carolina's typical student athlete is an honor roll student, from North Carolina, carries an average course load of fifteen hours, and graduates in four and one half years Hamrick said.

This may not sound like much, but on those hectic first days of school, it helps. Scholarship athletes such as Holloway receive such benefits to compensate them for their dedication and hard work at ECU. Many athletes on partial scholarships receive perks as a reward for their time and effort put into the school both athletically and academically. "It saved me time and money this semester said Holloway, a junior on the men's soccer team. Medical benefits are a rnltfor� advantage for scholarship athletes at ECU. The sports medicine department covers all varsity sports-related injuries. "I hurt my knee during a game last season and fortunately the school paid for most of my surgery and all my rehabilitation said Robert Schwartz, a member of the men's soccer team. But if you find yourself envying athletes who get such perks, think again. For example, many athletes do not take 8 a.m. classes because they have to practice in the mornings. "Most of the time I set my alarm for 5:30 a.m. to make sure I make it to my mandatory weight training session at 6 a.m Holloway said. The average day of an athlete at ECU is chaotic and includes practices, classes, schoolwork and games. "If you would like to go through a typical day in the life of a scholarship athlete, I'd be glad to show you what it's like said Marvin Mitchell, assistant athletic director. Unlike many athletes, Holloway didn't come to ECU with a scholarship to play soccer. He was a walk-on looking to obtain a position on a Division I soccer team. Since Holloway was not "I hurt my knee during a game last season and fortunately the school paid for most of my surgery and all my rehabilitation, Robert Schwartz men s soccer team recruited by ECU, he had to work hard to a spot on the team. Don't be fooled by the misconception that scholarship athletes primarily concentrate on the field of play and not in the the classroom. "Here at East Carolina there is a higher percentage of student athletes that graduate as opposed to that of the general population of the student body Mitchell said. All student athletes are rewarded by the athletic departments by making the honor roll. Holloway, who currently has a GPA of 3.2, is one of the many athletes who have been given recognition for academic performance and academic talents. Holloway feels he would not be a student at ECU if the athletic department did not help him financially. e n t e r p i e c e Designer terpiece Designer � u n t e r p ve ce D e s i g 10 hours per week �CA major preferred �Minimum GPA 2.0 �Must be able to meet weekly deadlines �Experienced in Photoshop, Illustrator, Quark XPress i the line I � � eastcaroliman 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 cless in the Department of Communication.

They earned a perfect 4.0 grade point average during the fall semester. Claudia McCann of the ECU Office of Planning and Institutional Research said the percentage of students with 4.0 GPAs by class ranking were: freshman � 3.3 percent, sophomore � 4.9 percent, junior � 6.8 percent and senior � 14.1 percent. Colleen McColl, a freshman communication major, was part of Claudia McCann of the ECU Office of Planning and Institutional Research said the percentage of students with 4.0 GPAs by class ranking were: freshman 3.3 percent sophomore 4.9 percent junior 6.8 percent senior 14.1 percent those statistics. "It's not something that I set my mind to and knew I was going to do; it just happened McColl said. The GPA is the ratio between the numbers of hours attempted and the number of quality points earned. That means for every class these determined 1,126 students took, they earned the highest possible quality points. "I probably study two or three doesn't have a test the next day. McColl, who recendy pledged for Alpha Omicron Pi, said, "Instead of waiting until the last minute of the night before a test I study every afternoon That way she really learns the material instead of cramming the ,pight before a test.
