Sal De Marco, a former speech
pathology professor who was dis-
missed earlier this month, has filed
a complaint against ECU with the
Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission (EEOC).
DeMarco, who was released
from university employment due to
charges of inappropriate and violent
behavior, has filed for an investiga-
tion with the EEOC, claiming that
ECU treated him unfairly with
regard to his illness, multiple scle-
rosis.
The EEOC is an
offspring of the
Americans with
Disabilities Act,
passed by the feder-
al government The
EEOC represents
disabled Americans
who feel they have
been unjustly treated
due to their disability.
De Marco claims
that when he was

The EEOC responded to De

that any case is handled. First (hey

covered by the EEOC.

The Student Government
Association recently appropriated
bi-annual funding to student orga-
nizations for the summer and fall
semesters. This year's appropria-
tion committee distributed $38,206
to various organizations.
According to Alan Stancill, co-
president of appropriations, in the
current bi-annuals only 23 organi-
zations applied for funding. Out of
the 23 organizations, one, Milan,
was denied funding.
Organizations who applied for
funding this year received more
money than those who applied to
the appropriations committee in
June of 1997.
"The main reason the individ-
ual groups got more money than
they had in the past is that in the
past we would have 47 groups turn
in budget proposals asking for
money and this semester we had

Pitt County ranks third in
state for AIDS transmission
Mecklenburgfirst,
Wake second
Jason Lee
FOCUS WRITER
Of the sexually transmitted dis-
eases, the most feared ? and the
most deadly ? is AIDS.
The southeastern part of the
United States, small towns and
rural areas have the highest rate of
HIV transmission. Pitt County
rates third among North Carolina
counties for rate of transmission,
behind Mecklenburg and Wake
Counties.
According to Barry Eimore, out-
reach coordinator for PICASO (Pitt
County AIDS Service
Organization), one reason for this is
the advanced medical establish-
ments in each county.
"People who have been infected
with the virus want to move into
areas where they are close to major
medical centers Eimore sard.
"With the ECU medical school and
Pitt County Memorial Hospital
offering new advanced medicines
here in Greenville, many of those
infected with HIV come here to
receive the treatments
HIV (human immunodeficiency
virus) is the virus that causes AIDS.
Being infected with HIV does not
mean a person has or will develop
AIDS. AIDS (acquired immunode-
ficiency syndrome) is a disease that
breaks down the immune system of
the body so that one will eventual
ly not be able to fight off sickness.

Adult Student Association encourages
non-traditional student involvement
Organization provides
guidance, comfort
Carolyn Robbins Hyde
staff writfr
According to members of one orga-
nization on campus, age is no barri-
er to enjoying university life. The
Adult Student Association has
made it its mission to encourage
involvement from non-traditional
students who are balancing job,
work and school.
"The Adult Student Association
was established in the fall of 1993 to
help adult and commuter students
become more involved with univer-
sity life said Deborah J. Battle,
graduate assistant for student
development. "Our overall concern
is that all students feel comfortable
and a part of the university
Mary Embrey, an active member
of the organization, said that most
of the adult students she comes in
contact with have many of the same
concerns and worries.
"The majority of the non-tradi-
tional students are carrying a heavy
burden of balancing family, work
and school Embrey said. "Some
have either quit their jobs in order
to return to school or have to cut
back on the hours worked, lessen-
ing their incomes while putting out
additional necessary funds for their
education. The decision to return
to school was not an easy one to
make, and if the ASA can help
make their transition any less
stressful, then the efforts will be
worth it
Any student age 24 and above is
eligible to become a member.
"We strive to incorporate the
non-traditional student within the
general campus population Battle
said.
According to Batde there is a
great need for an organization such
as this to assist the adult students,
especially those who have been out
of school for a number of years, in
feeling comfortable with their deci-
sion to get back into the main-
stream of school.
Providing guidance in many dif-
ferent areas for the non-traditional
students is among the many ser-
vices offered by the ASA. Students
seeking information about financial
aid, housing (in and around the
Greenville area), the availability of
child care, and other services such
as time management seminars,
locations and advantages of on-
campus dining facilities, transporta-
tion and parking information can
contact the ASA office for further
information. Also offered through
the ASA are study skills advice,
recreational facilities available and
the health services provided on
campus.
"One of the programs that we
are especially proud of is the
Pinnacle Program, which is the
non-traditional honor society
Battle said. "This society was char-
tered here at the university in
October 1997. The first induction
ceremony took place in December
1997. Forty-seven members were
inducted
The next induction will be held
in December 1998.
The ASA has also adopted a
mentor program this semester. This
serves as a resource for students
who have questions and do not
know how to get answers.

tory of such a disability.
In the actual process, De Marco
had to fill out a charge question-
naire and be interviewed by an
investigator. Then the EEOC
made a charge in De Marco's favor
against ECU.
According to regulations, the
EEOC had to make the charge
within 10 days. The people being
charged then have a specified
amount of time to respond.
ECU has received a charge from
the EEOC regarding De Marco's
claim. The university must
respond with a position statement
by May 18. The position statement
will detail the university's claims
and its supporting proof.

What is your stance on the hog
operations and your thoughts on
hog waste pollution?
The city and the farmer need to come
to a compromise. It's not like we're
dumping hazardous waste, it's nitro-
gen. Simple chemistry could filter it
from the water. City and industry cause
approximately IS percent of the runoff.
The rest is caused by agriculture. A
sewage system should be built to filter the
runoff, while an emergency resources
fund is set aside and used if a problem
occurs. The money needs to be there and
readily available. Farmers aren't try-
ing to pollute the environment and peo-
ple aren't going to boycott bacon and
pork, but we've got to provide a better
balance between the two.
Do you foresee a working plan
that can adequately protect the
beleaguered tobacco farmer?
We need to make a commitment: art we
going to stand behind the farmer, or
turn with the country? We need to real-
ize that it's not the farmer that's causing
the tobacco problems - they're just the
suppliers of the raw material. ECU
and the hospital were built by tobacco
money. We owe it to him (the tobacco
farmer) to stand behind him. The gov-
ernment makes $22,000 on one acre of
tobacco, while the farmer makes about
$1,800. That's about a 20-1 ratio. The
farmer is at the mercy of the way people
use his resources; it's the additives that
they use to increase nicotine levels and
flavors that are killing people, not
tobacco.
The State Transportation bud-
get projected a $500 million cut for
the Kinston Global Trans Park.
What are your thoughts on this?
We've spent $20 million trying to
develop G TR Now they are trying to cut
us out of the picture by putting Federal
Express in Greensboro. I'd like to see
more research done on GTP's develop-
ment. Highway 264 between Wilson
and Greenville shows a lot of promise
as a botential site to locate an air com-
plex. This would form a quadrangle
with Rocky Mount, Kinston, Greenville
and Wilson, and absorb most of the
growth. Would it benefit those who orig-
inally thought of putting it in Kinston?
No. Rut we are talking about what will
benefit the good of all.
Tobacco, infrastructure
Floyd's top concern
T.K. JONES
STAFF WRITER
Emmett Floyd
Gov. Hunt has proposed a new
child health insurance plan for the
working, low income families. Do
you think it will work?
The premise of the special session
was to adopt a plan that would allow
people who make
more money
than Medicare
recipients to
have their chil-
dren covered,
but not enough to
financially
afford health
insurance. We
have over
70,000 children
who are without file photo
insurance. I'm
disappointed that the session has taken
five weeks and we still don't have a
plan. I think Gov. Hunt has proposed a
very good program and a balanced pro-
gram, and I hope the house and senate
will adopt some variation of it.
What is your stance on the hog
operations and your thoughts on
hog waste pollution?
think we all are offended by the
odor of hog operations as well as the
pollution that's generated by them. We
need to utilize our scientific abilities to
minimize the odor that occurs as well as
find ways to better treat hog waste.
There's an incredible amount of water
wasted - sent to lagoons or sprayed on
fields. I think we have enough expertise
that we can minimize the amount of
waste produced and find new effective

ways of dispersement of that waste.
Do you foresee a working plan
that can adequately protect the
beleaguered tobacco farmer?
Pitt County is the largest flu-cured
tobacco producing county in the largest
flu-cured producing slate in the largest
country that produces flu-cured tobacco
in the world. I think we have to recog-
nize the economic importance of tobacco
and find ways to help farmers offset
their loss. It may mean to provide farm-
ers with opportunities to grow more of
other crops. Tobacco is an important
industry to eastern North Carolina. The
loss of it without some offsetting eco-
nomic development would be cata-
strophic to this area.
The State Transportation bud-
get projected a $500 million cut for
the Kinston Global Trans Park.
What are your thoughts on this?
We have to be willing to invest in the
infrastructure if we are to create GTP
from the vision that it is to the reality
that it might become. I was disappoint-
ed when Federal Express didn't choose
to relocate in GTP. My belief is, had we
of had the infrastructure - the roads
and runway extensions - in place they
would have chosen us. I think a loss of
that particular project, along with these
additional funds, is causing a serious
question of the continued future of GTP.
I don't see how it can continue to sur-
vive without any major tenants or
improvements in access to highways.
In light of several scandals on
the Board of Transportation, such
as members resigning because of
suspected illegal influence, should
a different way of selecting board
members be considered?
The people who are appointed are
appointed from districts. They are
expected historically to look after people
in their district and that's the system we
have today. It makes a lot more sense in
terms of the suggestions that have been
circulated to minimize the size of the
board, as well as have other points of
view and other areas of expertise.

Gov. Hunt has

health insur-
ance plan for
the working,

families. Do
you think it
will work?
First let me hie photo
say, we all sup-
port providing healthcare for children.
In fact, House Republicans have a bet-
ter plan that reflects fairness, account-
ability and personal responsibility. We
must be fair. The Administration s plan
just creates another group of govern-
ment dependent people. We must lie
careful that we do not substitute person-
al responsibility with new government
programs. Our plan is centered around
fairness. It is fair to the uninsured chil-
dren we are trying to help and it is fair
to hardworking North Carolinians who
are already providing health insurance
for their children. Our plan has tax
credits; the Administration's plan does-
n't.
What is your stance on the hog
operations and your thoughts oh
hog waste pollution?
Hog pollution is a problem. We must
make certain that we distinguish
between farmers that abide by the law
and those that pollute. I always believe
that government should stay out of the
way until there is a problem, and I
believe we have reached that level.
Government should help solve the prob-
lem, not create the problem. We should
limit growth of these hog factories that
produce more waste than can be prop-
erly handled. At the same time, "we
should not burden the small hog opera-
tor who is working hard to raise a fam-
ily and make a Irving.
Do you foresee a working plan

Tobacco has helped build eastern

the tobacco farmer to join the extinct

'There are many proposals being

to reduce the board a little - currently
there are 26 members - and have
General Assembly confirmation. 'The
current system worts pretty well. The
bottom line is the governor appointed a
few questionable people and they made
bad derisions. I don't favor disman-

AIDS
continuad from pigt I
While there have been several
breakthroughs in medication for
AIDS, the biggest, area for advance-
ment has been prevention.
"The biggest weapon in preven-
tion has been education Elmore
said.
Elmore also pointed out that
transmission of the virus among the
homosexual population has
declined, while the rate of trans-
mission among heterosexuals has
increased.
"There is a 28 percent increase
among males and a 23 percent
increase among females Elmore
said. "Of the new cases reported, 25
percent have been those 21 and
younger and 50 percent have been
those 25 and younger
AIDS is the leading cause of
death for Americans age 25-44.
Many of the people in this age
group contracted the virus while in
college. It takes the body five to 12
weeks and sometimes longer to
develop HIV antibodies. This
"window" allows for the virus to be
spread without knowledge.
HIV can be spread through
unprotected vaginal, anal and oral
sex, sharing needles and childbirth.
Symptoms of the virus include:
fatigue, excess weight loss, fever
and night sweats, frequent diar-
rhea, white spots in the mouth,
swollen glands, dry cough and skin
blotches. Women may have addi-
tional symptoms of chronic vaginal
yeast infections and persistent PID
(pelvic inflammatory disease).
If a person feels he or she is at
. risk, then he or she needs to get
tested. Early detection allows for
sooner treatment. HIV testing is
available at the Pitt County Health
Department located at 201
Government Circle.
While there is no cure for AIDS,
there are many medicines that slow
the infection process.
"I don't think we'll ever see a
cure Elmore said. "Hopefully
we'll have a vaccine in a few years.
That's the best we can hope for
Rally

The organization is requesting
three bins on college hill, central
campus and west campus.
"I would like to recycle and
keep the environment green, but
since there are no bins or services
available, it seems impossible said
George Becerra, ECU student. "I
think the bike rally is a great place
to learn more about the environ-
ment and how to help it"
According to Dove, one of the
biggest problems with our rivers is
pollution. The pollution is mainly
caused by hog waste and the nitro-
gen it causes. More than 80 percent
of the nitrogen produced by hogs
goes into the environment, which
can upset the natural balance. To
prevent this from happening, the
hog waste can be used as an organ-
ic fertilizer instead of the inorganic
fertilizer that is used today.
"Speak out on behalf of the
environment Dove said. "The
government will only do what the
people make them do

People around the world last week held a demonstration to call attention to a place we often
forget about: Earth ? you know, your home. Earth Day, began in 1970 by Gaylord Nelson,
has achieved its original intention of raised awareness about environmental concerns, and it
has let the political establishment know that something had to be done to control environ-
mental problems. All the problems, of course, have not been remedied, but the grassroots
efforts of Earth Day organizers have been tremendously beneficial.
Earth Day, however, is not just about pointing out what's wrong with Earth. It's about rec-
ognizing what's right. Greenville, your temporary home on earth, has a lot that's right. This
time of year, particularly, we can soak in the Emerald City's offerings and observe what is
indeed right.
Greenville has more to offer than the well-groomed greens of golf courses or the mani-
cured shrubs of shopping malls. The Town Common off of First Street is close to campus
and offers plenty of room to do whatever you want to do. You can throw Frisbees or foot-
balls; you can walk along the edge and look out the Tar River or you can just lie on the grass,
relaxing and staring up at the sky.
The Greenway is another place to get away for a while from traffic and smoky downtown
bars. It can be accessed from the commuter parking lot off of Tenth Street. It's a place
where walkers and runners can go and observe the beauty of nature, instead of smoke from
an old pickup truck.
Especially after exams, you may want a place where you can relax. Maybe getting tanked
downtown isn't what you had in mind. Hop on your bike or in your car and ride out to the
country sometime. Greenville's got a lot of it. The open country is a perfect place to reclaim
the solitude you often lose on campus.
There are plenty of other places around town where you can be a part of what Earth Day
celebrates. Like any relationship, however, you have to respect and take care of it. Earth
does its part for you. It provides endless opportunities for wonder and pleasure. It's up to
. you to be a good partner - year round.
Should Fifth Street be divided
to honor Dr. Martin Luther
King, Jr.?

LETTER
to the editor
Candidate responds to column
On Thursday, April 10, Jeff
Bergman wrote an editorial criticiz-
ing me ? Ed Carter, former mayor
of Greenville ? for the city's han-
dling of the Halloween riots during
? my tenure as mayor, I would like to
personally thank Bergman for the
'? column. Although it contained
; ? many misstatements of the facts, it
'J did give me due credit for ridding
; East Carolina and the city of
K Greenville of a problem that had
been a menace to the community
I for many years prior to my adminis-
! tration.
People from various parts of the
? United States were coming to
; Greenville on Halloween to enjoin
I a few dissident student in attacking
' law enforcement personnel and
i innocent citizens. Being an effec-
? tive mayor and leader, I duly
informed all troublemakers that, for
J the first time, decisive action would
be taken to deal with this idiotic
behavior. As a result of the action
taken under my leadership in 1988,
a number of persons were arrested
and no such problems have existed
since this incident Civic and stu-
dent leaders are now able to proac-
tively circumvent problems relating
to the Halloween celebration. This
is due solely to the effective and
decisive handling of the 1988 inci-
dent.
I will not dignify Bergman's
many outrageous allegations, but
the allegation that I have a problem
with college students exemplifies
just how far Bergman went in an
attempt to be sensational. I am the
only candidate running for the 6th
District Senate seat who has been a
college student. The incumbent,
Bob Martin, who he supports, has
not attended college, nor does he
possess a college degree; neither
does the Republican opponent,
Henry Williams.
ECU, North-Carolina third
largest university; ranks 13thtnitof
the 16 UNC campuses in terms of
the N.C. General Assembly's
appropriations per student. North
Carolina's teacher pay is at the bot-
tom 10 percent in the nation; thou-
sands of jobs are lost in our district
each year, my opponent has been in
elected office for 46 years; and the
General Assembly has experienced
budget surpluses during the past six
years ? none of these problems
were addressed. I contend it is not
only time for a change, but that
Bergman, his colleagues and friends
should start now in supporting my
candidacy so as to ensure that I am
sent to Raleigh.
This is a no-lose situation for a good rhetorician. You
can claim that you're supporting MLK while subtly
slighting this achievement to honor him at the same
time ? just say more should be done than changing a
section of Fifth Street. Just discredit this accomplish-
ment by claiming that the naming of a section of Fifth
Street after MLK isolates the black community living
in that area. The problem is that line of argument is
subtly racist (even arguably so).
Racism comes in an infi-
nite number of-shades ?
from outright hatred to sub-
tle pickings by newspaper
reporters. This latest issue
has uncovered sentiments
that (to be perfectly honest)
I'm not surprised exist, but
which I can't help frowing
upon. And no matter how I write this,
Racism comes in
an infinite number
of shades

Columnist
Politics touches everyone's life
Politics is not Just about
Republicans, Democrats,
elections, etc. The realm of
politics dictates almost
every facet of life.
Politics. This word, to many col-
! lege students incites a yawn or apa-
? thetic glare. It really seems that the
general populace is very ignorant of
politics and policy issues ? and
what is worse ? no one seems to
care. This is a definite problem. It
! may not seem like a crisis, but in
fact, an unaware public is one of
the chief ills of our society today.
Politics is not just about
Republicans, Democrats, elections,
etc. The realm of politics dictates
almost every facet of life. People
who feel that politics is beneath
them or that it is not relevant to
their lives are truly disillusioned
souls.
Since everything we do is
touched by politics in some way,
shape, or form, it is the individual's
responsibility as a voter and as a cit-
izen to get to get clued in to what is
going on. That does not mean you
have to read The Wall Street Journal
everyday; it means at least know
the names of our state's two sena-
tors and have some idea of their
political views.
Political Science (POLS 1010)
should be a specific requirement
for the general college curriculum.
I think if the state deems it essen-
tial to uke Math 1065 and a science
lab for graduation, surely passing a
general course in government
should be necessary (and would
not be the unmitigated hell of the
former two classes ? no offense to
my lab and math teachers). When
you have your diploma and you hit
the pavement, a basic knowledge
of governmental structure will be
of enormous use. Even if you don't
graduate and end up selling drugs
to the people that did (just kid-
ding), sooner of later politics (and
maybe a comprehensive legal
knowledge) will become a great
asset in your life.
Admittedly, "public apathy"
does lately seem to be the worn out
phrase of the day and its under-
tones are a tad bit preachy, but that
is because it is so important The
benefits of political knowledge (or
the disadvantages in the lack there-
of) cannot be fully and thoroughly
realized until some effort is made
to be in-the-know. Contrary to the
popular belief around here, being a
meat head will not lead to a very
fulfilling life. So make a little
effort?read the paper, watch the
news, take POLS 1010 ? any-
thing. Do something.
Write a letter to the Editor!
you will have
the comfort of dismissing what I say as either self-
righteous or scoffing at it indifferently, saying I'm sim-
ply misguided or wrong.
But the fact of the matter is 2,000 Greenville resi-
dents, most of whom were black, signed a petition
which precipitated town council's decision to change
the section of East Fifth Street to Martin Luther King
Jr. Drive.
On January 18 several hundred black residents
gathered in frigid and icy conditions to walk along the
section of Fifth Street that is to be changed. Two
white people were there.
Reporters have slightingly referred to the change as
a "crusade and have said the "white community
stood tall and helped support the issue Yes, two
white people showed up at the original march.
People have said that more should be done, that
just changing one section of a street isn't enough, that
it will further isolate the black community that com-
prises the majority of residents along that section of
Fifth Street. People have said that changing the Town
Common's name would be a more fitting honor for
Martin Luther King Jr. People have given dozens of
legitimate reasons why changing a small section of
East Fifth Street is not appropriate or right.
Unfortunately, most of those people are white, and
they simply don't want to applaud this achievement.
The black community proudly supports the
change, and yes, would certainly like to see more done
to honor the civil rights leader. And hopefully with the
support of the "white community" which "stood tall"
more will be done. This is the first step Greenville has
taken to honor King and hopefully more will follow.
In a city that honors its confederate dead with a
statue that gazes nobly and oh so judiciously down
from our courthouse, I'm surprised even a section of
Fifth Street was changed. Maybe all of us who feel
that changing a section of Fifth Street isn't enough
will support the black community in the next endeav-
or to honor their leaders and remember their heritage.
We're all in this together.
But don't knock this first change with rationalized
legitimacy. Honoring MLK is a good thing. It's good.
Let's quit bickering and finding reasons why it's not
appropriate and applaud this achievement. Let's not
overshadow the accomplishment by finding reasons
why this change is inappropriate, why it will cause has-
sles, why it shouldn't be done because it isn't enough
of a memorial, why there's better places to honor
MLK ? let's stop bickering about it and simply say
thank you, MLK, for making our world a better place
to live in today. We're all in this together, so let's show
it

It astonishes me that anyone feels it is a fitting tribute
to divide a street in half (a division which happens
fall on racial lines) and give only a portion of it in hon
of a man who gave his life for racial equality and
desegregation. M
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was murdered because
he promoted racial equality through non-violent
means. He was murdered because a non-tolerant I
assassin wanted to quiet his words of peace. I
murdered because he had attracted an inter
following of thousands who took comfort in 1
and turned toward him for leadership. King
black hero. He was a hero for everyone. He was ? I
for the black population, who were segregated
given second class rights, as well as a hero fari
who wanted segregation and racism eliminated,
words set a precedence for peaceful yet
change for other groups of people in this a
around the world. Today, in GreenvilIe,Xihgs
a hero for people on both the black end of Fifth!
and the white end.
The fact alone that Fifth Street itself is so
is a testament that the societal issues which
addressed more than 30 years ago still persist,
government may not support segregation any I
but people still make conscious decisions about
to live and who to associate with on the basis of r
went to high school in Greenville and I have a I
affection for the people of this town outside -
campus community. However, I also know first 1
that racism is very much alive. It's amazing what I
people will say when they are in a group of all
all black people. Some people mistakingly assume
that if they are in the company of all whites no one wiB
particularly object if they make racist comments like,
"the bad end of Fifth Street" or "across the rail road
tracks
Fifth Street, like many other streets and residential
areas of cities across the country, is divided. Perhaps,
this is why other cities have named large boulevard
and thouroughfarcs after King. It seems unfitting
somehow to divide a street or to select a portion of a
street which is associated, however unfortunately, with
any specific population.
A mother stood up at the city council meeting and
said she had tried to explain to her young daughter
what King stood for and why he was an important
man, worthy of the honor of having a street named
after him. After the mother explained to her daughter
about King's life and the civil rights movement, the
daughter turned to her mother and asked her why he
only got half a street. As the daughter grows older arid
hears racist remarks about areas like West Fifth Streft
and learns that many people still keep very dose social
circles, she will know why the street was divided;
College aged students don't often think past gradus
tion and career, but the day is coming when we
will have a child bom into this world pure, without a
knowledge of racist attitudes or traditions. Citizens j
Greenville, including ECU'S students, have a I
sibility not to carry forward the racist divisions whh
exist today. We have an obligation to broaden
social circles and object to racist remarks,
when they're made inside the quiet walls oft I
geneous group.
I think King would have wanted a street, any street
named for him which ran past a house filled with
white people, a house filled with black people, a house
filled with both white and black people, government
buildings, a public university, a private Catholk
school, black-owned businesses' and white-owned
businesses. King does not deserve a street named in
his honor simply because every other city already has
one or because it is an easy political decision to make.
Driving down the road and seeing the sign labeled Dr.
Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Drive will never
remind me of the tremendous contributions of a great
leader or of how the civil rights movement effects me
today. Instead, it will always remind me of how divid-
ed my town is and of how tar we all still have to go.

BAREFOOT ON THE MALL
AY
? ?
Diverse lineup
promises to entertain
John Davis
assistant lifestyle editor
Radiohead might not be as para-
noid as their music and CD pack-
ages suggest If they aren't, it's all
right; their paranoia seems perfect-
ly genuine and well-placed. Where
Irish preach-rockers U2 have tried
to poke fun at the market and
technology cultures that dominate
the West, Radiohead just come out
and admit they're scared as hell.
This E.R could be yet another
marketing ploy by Capitol
Records, since Radiohead's last
album, O.K. Computer, transformed
the band from a struggling Brit-
rock group into the Pink Floyd and
U2 of the '90s. Radiohead certain-
ly act as if it's a marketing ploy,
since the front cover of the E.R
declares "this mini album is aimed
at the U.S.A Like Capitol
Records has a big, big weapon
aimed at our great nation, and they
hope to subjugate us all.
The CD package comes com-
plete with a faux questionnaire
asking bitterly ironic questions
such as, "And how do you see
yourself in fifty year's time?"
There's a quote from the Noam
Chomsky Reader in the back and
there are random terrifying
accounts of the anomie of modem
technomarketing culture posted
on various pages along with graphs
and charts that seem to have
important information.
The music is as beautifully
cryptic as the packaging. One
might think that b-sides and new
recordings would be sub-par com-
pared with the mystical songs of
O.K Computer, but quite the con-
trary, the stuff is gorgeous. Even
the watery Eno-esque instrumen-
tal "Meeting in the Aisle"
is exceptional. It brings to mind
some of the more striking intru-
mentals on R.E.M. albums, such as
"New Orleans Instrumental 1
"Pearly" is a rip-a-hole in your
brain lo-fi number that captures
the rawest aspects of Radiohead.
Thom Yorkc's growly, whiney
vocals are far from the too-beauti-
; ful-to-be-true fridge-buzz of their
early '90s hit "Creep
"A Reminder" and '
"Polythylenc (Parts 1&2)" both
have stong elements of O.K.
Computer in them. Both have the
power and urgency of the songs on
O.K. Computer. Melatonin and Palo
Alto are strong rockers a la The
Bends, or perhaps O.K.
Computer's "Electioneering
If Radiohead keep making b-
side collections this good, the only
truly frightening thing will be the
grandiosity of their next full-length
record. Let's hope they aim that
one at the U.S.A too. I'll take a
bullet for Thom Yorke any day.

Blue Rags tear through
music's past
Service sorority aims to
improve community
Asheville natives do it
their way
Andy Turner
lifestyle editor
If you've heard Muddy Waters'
frantic, soul-stomping Newport
Folk Festival version of "I've Got
My Mojo Workin' (But It Just
Won't Work On You) then you
may have an idea of what the Blue
Rags sound like. Plug Muddy full
of amphetamines and sit him in a
New Orleans brothel circa the '20s
and the Rags could have durn well
been his backup band.
The Asheville natives, who are
appearing at Barefoot today,
released their debut album, Rag-N-
Roll, last fall to critical acclaim. The
album overflows with high-energy
testaments to the power of music,
all kinds of music: blues, jazz,
gospel, ragtime, country. Name it
the Blue Rags do it. Through 13
songs, the dance-happy drive of the
album never subsides as the band
tears through spirited originals and
properly covers songs from sources
as diverse as Leadbelly and Ira and
George Gershwin.
Gloriously raw as it is, Rag-N-
Roll still doesn't capture the real
thing, the Blue Rags live. A Blue
Rags show is a sweat-stained-arm-
shakinass-moving throw down,
guaranteed to make punks and hip-
pies alike slap their bee-hinds
against one another.
"I think it's the honest approach
to what we do explains guitarist
Scott Sharpe. "That transcends the
differences into raw energy. We
play any kind of music that we feel
like playing. We're not confined to
any style
Perhaps oddly enough to some,
the Blue Rags are on Sub Pop
Records, the maison de grunge of the
early '90s. Greg Dulli, frontman for
the Afghan Whigs (formerly on Sup
Pop), recommended the Blue Rags
to the label. Sharpe says the Rags fit
right in at Sub Pop as their raw,
straight-ahead approach redefines
"what punk really is
While the Blue Rags' sound cer-
tainly has '90s sensibilities, the
music it celebrates is indeed from a
different era. When prodded to cite
any modern influences on the band,
Sharpe asks if that means they still
have to be

rather limited knowledge of music's
past. "Rag-N-Roll is definitely
about life in the '90s he says. "But
it's rock-n-roll mixed with their
great-grandfather's music
The Blue Rags have taken their
rag-n-roll across the country, playing
everywhere cast of the Mississippi
and making it out west for some
shows, including the recent South
by Southwest Festival in Austin.
The band plans to go into the stu-
dio in June to record a new album in
New York. Then, they will head out
west again for some shows.
But for today, you get to bear
witness to the spirit of the Rags.
You won't be sorry.
Gamma Sigdoes their
part for Greenville
Shannnon Meek
senior writer
Albert Schweitzer once said that
"there is no higher religion than
human service. To work for the
common good is the greatest
creed
Perhaps the motto of the
Gamma Sigma Sigma National
Service Sorority, "Unity In
Service
best epito-
mizes Albert
Schweitzer's
ideals.
The
Gamma

National

Sorority was
formed in
1952 dedi-
cated to this
idealism of
service. It is a non-discriminating,
non-hazing organization. The ECU
Gamma Sigma Sigmas, comprised
of nearly 100 sisters, have commit-
ted their efforts to bring about pos-
itive change to the community.
"It's a good feeling knowing
you're doing good for the commu-
nity. What's rewarding is seeing the
smiles on the people you help

Sigma Sigma's newly elected mem-
bership vice-president

Pledges of Gamma Sigma Sigma
are required to do at least 15 hours

Three coaching vacancies mean changes for basketball
New signeesbring
experience to program
TRACY M. LAL'IACH
stouts EDITOR
Things are a-changin' in the world
of Pirate basketball.
Within the past two weeks,
ECU has lost women's basketball
Head Coach Anne Donovan to
the Philadelphia
Rage, men's
basketball Assistant
Coach Lew Hill to
Texas A&M, and
announced
Tuesday that men's
basketball Assistant
Coach Lane Odom
has accepted a
position with the
coaching staff at
UNC-Charlotte.
According to
men's basketball
Head Coach Joe
Dooley, ECU was
fortunate to have
Hill and Odom for
the time they were
here.
"In this
business, there is
usually a three- or four-year period
that people stay and then the time
comes to move on Dooley said.
"Lew and Lane have both come
across opportunities to be closer to
new challenges
Odom joined the Pirates in
1995 after five years on the
coaching staff at the University of
Alabama. He is a 1989 graduate of
High Point University, where he
played basketball for the
Panthers.
The athletic department is in
the process of hiring new coaches
to fill the positions that are now
vacant, and final decisions are
expected to be made within the
next few weeks.
Dooley said that his athletes
are disappointed
to lose these
coaches but
expects the
necessary
adjustments to
run smoothly.
"The guys
understand that
these kinds of
things happen
everywhere, not
just here
Dooley said. "It
will take some
time to get used
to the changes,
but we will do
that and move
on
Official practices
for the men's
basketball team
will begin in October, but in the
meantime, Dooley has been
training his players on an
individual basis.
"We are allowed to have
individual workouts in groups of
Dooley said. "The guys are lifting
a lot and getting ready for
October
On Tuesday, Evaldas Joeys
became the fourth signee for the
Pirates. Coming from Western
Nebraska Community College in
Scottsbluff,
Neb Joeys is
known as
one of the
top five

"In this business, there
is usually a three or

Averaging 16

Joe Dooley brings a 75

average along with a 40 percent
average from the three-point line.
Joining Joeys as first-time
Pirates will be Kenyatta Brown of
Brooklyn, N.Y, Brandon Hawkins
of Morganton, N.C. and Tim
Washington of Washington D.C.
Dooley has visited with each of
the signees and is pleased with
the experience they will bring to
his program.
"All of the recruits are
important, but the most important
guys at this point are the ones that
arc already in our program
Dooley said. Among those
returning to lead the Pirates on
the court next season will be
Alico Dunk, Garett Blackwelder,
Alphons van Ierland, Neil Punt
and Stephen Branch.

Student trainers show commitment to ECU athletics
Tracy Hairr
STAFF WHITER
Behind every talented athlete is an athletic trainer who is as important
to the athlete's performance as the athlete himself or herself. In fact,
much of the athlete's
performance is dependent
upon the athletic trainer
whose skills aid in
preparing successful
athletes for competition.
Josh Herman, an ECU
student athletic trainer,
was recently selected as
the recipient of a
scholarship awarded by
the National Athletic
Trainer's Association
(NATA).
"We have to make a lot of
decisions regarding the
athletes Herman said.
The Sports Medicine facilities are visited on a
dairy oasis by athletes in need of treatment.
nu PHOTO
"Our jobs range from teaching prevention
of injuries and rehabilitation after surgery to
counseling on the proper nutrition needed
before games
To be admitted to the sports medicine
program at ECU, potential trainers must
complete one year of service to the program.
As these students commit themselves to
athletes and their
injuries the
competition is
tough, as only a
limited number of
trainers can be
accepted into the
program.
"I think the
competitiveness is
a good thing
Herman said.
"We're put in an
important position
to help athletes,
so there needs co a
be a way to weed
out those who
don't or can't do all the things that need to be done. An athletic trainer
needs to know how to handle a situation, especially one that's an
emergency
In order to be accepted into the athletic training program at ECU,
which has only 32 slots at any given time, there are rigid standards to
follow. Overali, a strict amount of discipline is mandatory. A student
athletic trainer must juggle time for classes and the clinical aspect of the
curriculum, which includes 800 hours of practical experience under a
certified athletic trainer (ATC). These hours are divided among time
spent with at least four different athletic teams while the student is in
college.
"A lot of these hours are spent in the training room Herman said.
"Our schedule usually includes around 30 hours a week in training, and
Athletes turn to their student trainers for both
treatment to injuries and also therapy.
FILE PHOTO
we have to balance this with
our classes. And while we're
training with athletes, we may
be told to leave practice and
come back in a couple of hours
just like the rest of the team
According to Dr. Katie
Walsh, ATC and director of the
sports medicine and athletic
training program of ECU, time
management is the most
necessary skill for anyone
interested in this field.
"They must absolutely be
self-motivated Walsh said.
"All of our students are very
active and socially involved in
things like fraternities,
sororities and the National
Guard. These activities, plus all
the demands they're forced to
meet in the curriculum, take
exemplary time management
skills
Most of the student athletic
trainers further their education
after graduation by seeking a
masters degree and becoming a
certified athletic trainer after
taking the NATA certification
examination.
Though it's not required for
a high school position, this
degree is necessary for anyone
who wishes to pursue a position
with college, professional or
elite teams.

men competed in the prestigious
Penn Relays.
The Penn Relays has been
established as one of the world's
largest meets. Over 18,000
competitors from 35 countries
competed at the meet, which was
held in Philadelphia's Franklin
Field.
Overall, the Pirates followed
their stunning CAA
championship performance with a
strong showing at the Penn
Relays. They were not daunted
by the scale of the meet and ran
?? T11 WV J 1AA . I ?. . ?
well. The Pirate 4x200 relay team
of Titus Haygood, Darrick
Ingram, Tyrone Dozier and
Ramondo North placed fourth
behind LSU, Arkansas and
Florida. The 4x400 relay team of
Ingram, Mike Miller, Von Johnson
and Dozier finished ninth overall
and missed the final on Friday.
"Freshman Von Johnson had a
bad leg and that hurt us said Bill
Carson, head coach of men's track.
We haven't come close, but
we're running well
Bill Carson
Head Track Coach
On Saturday they ran in the
IC4A finals and finished fifth.
The stars of the meet were the
Pirate 4x100 relay team of
Haygood, Marcus Gladden, Chris
Justice and North, who won the
IC4A Championship with a time
of 40.79.
"North is anchoring well and
our 4x1, 4x2 and 4x4 teams arc
running well Carson said.
The Pirates were scheduled to
run in the Jesse Owens Classic
this coming weekend; however,
Carson decided to rest his team
following the CAA meet and the
Penn Relays. Next they will head
to the Life College Invitational
on May 10 and meet in Clemson,
S.C. on May 16 before heading to
the IC4A Championships in late
May.
So far, none of the Pirates has
qualified for the NCAA
championship meet
"we haven't come close, but
we're running well Carson said.
This weekend the ECU
women's track team did not
compete.
"We had some injuries, so we
decided to get healed up and take
the week off said Charles
"Choo" Justice, head coach of
women's track.
The Lady Pirates will head to
George Mason University for a
meet on May 2 and to Atlanta for
the Life College Invitational on
May9.
The women's team has several
athletes who have qualified for
the championship meets at the
end of the season. Missy Johnson
has qualified in the hurdles for the
ECAC Championship on the last
weekend in May. The 4x100 relay
squad has also qualified for the
ECAC meet.
"We're expecting several more
kids to qualify in the coming
weeks Justice said. "We have a
lot that are close but we've had so
much bad weather that the
conditions for qualifying haven't
been there. Also we've run more
relays, so the individual events
haven't gotten much attention,
but we're starting to focus more
on the individual events now

Conference tournament
to begin Friday
Jim Phelps
STAFF WHITER
The ECU softball team is gearing
up to head to Rock Hill, S.C, a
neutral turf, on May 1-3 for the
Big South Conference
tournament.
The Lady Pirates have
finished as the first runner-up in
the conference for two
consecutive years. The team
recently closed their regular
season with a record of 14-2;
however, heading into the
tournament, they don't
underestimate any of their
opponents.
"We took each team as if they
were going to give us a run said
Jami Bendle, senior pitcher.
Of all of the teams that will be
competing for the title, Head
Coach Traccy Kee expects
Auburn to be among the most
challenging to beat.
The team that has been the
most challenging according to
senior right fielder Dawn Conrad,
would be Virginia. Teammate Jen
Halpern believes UMBC will be
among the most challenging of
teams in the tournament.
"Any of the six teams has a
chance at winning the
tournament, the conference is
really equal Conrad said.
One thing that has helped the
Lady Pirates be successful this
season is their ability to work
together as a team.
"Everybody plays an
important role, we feed off each
other and help each other out
Bendle said.
While the team has been lead
throughout the season by the
strength of its pitching staff,
success has come through the
efforts of the team as a whole.
"No one specific person has
been the team leader; each
individual player steps up
Conrad said. "That is what makes
us a good team. We are hoping to
win the Big South and make it to
the NCAA regionals
This being their last year, it is
especially
important to
the seniors to
win the
conference
title and
move on the
NCAA
tournament.
In closing
their athletic
careers with
the Lady
Pirates, each
hopes to be
able to bid
farewell with
a win that will go down in the
books.
This being her first year on the
team, Halpern says that playing
for ECU is much different from
playing in high school.
"There is more desire to win
than there was in high school
Halpern said. "It would be really
exciting to make it to the finals
my first year
If the team wins the
conference championship it will
host the MEAC champion. To
make it to the NCAA regionals,
they will need to win best out of
three against the MEAC
champion.
Qualifying to the NCAA
tournament would be a first for
the Lady Pirates. Perhaps this will
be the season that will go down in
history for the team.

ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR
The Chicago Bulls camp has been
buzzing with rumors all season
long. As the NBA playoffs begin,
many expect the Bulls to take
another championship, but what
will happen after that is anybody's
guess. Michael Jordan has once
again threatened to leave
basketball for good after this
season, and this time it's not for
baseball.
Jordan has repeatedly said that
he will not play for anybody
except Chicago Bulls Head Coach
Phil Jackson. The Bulls are not
saying much regarding Jackson's
future in Chicago.
Many forget that people
besides Jordan contributed to all
of their championship victories.
The NBA is filled with talented
players, and if Jordan was the only
Bull who could play, the Bulls
would be run over by the other
teams. A good head coach is
necessary for a good team,
something the Bulls management
seems to have forgotten. Look at
what Larry Bird has been able to
do with the Indiana Pacers his
rookie year.
Jackson has brought discipline
to some of the rowdier Bulls, most
notably Dennis Rodman. When
he first came to the Bulls,
Rodman showed everybody why
he was called "Dennis the
Menace Thanks to Jackson's
efforts to get him (relatively)
under control, which included
bonuses for good behavior,
Rodman is a much more
productive member of the Bulls.
The Bulls are also on the fence
about where Scottie Pippen will
play next year. There are rumors
that he will be traded to another
team or not even signed at all.
For yean, Pippen has been the
unsung hero of Chicago. He has
played solid basketball, providing
well-rounded support for Jordan.
When Jordan left to play baseball,
Pippen stepped into Jordan's
shoes rather well. Under Pippen,
the Bulls went to the playoffs,
though they weren't able to take
the championship. Critics whined
about Jordan's loss and blamed
Pippen for the loss. The fact is,
Pippen was the only person who
kept the Bulls from sliding into
the gutter.
Both Pippen and Jackson
deserve more respect than they
are getting. The two men have
done a lot for the Bulls and should
have a secure future there.

Bulls take win over
Louisville Redbirds
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) -Greg
Blosser's second home run of the
game lifted the Durham Bulls to a
6-5 victory over the Louisville
Redbirds in 11 innings Monday
night in the International League.
Blosser, who also had a two-run
homer in the Bulls' five-run first
inning, hit the homer to lead off
the 11th against Redbirds right-
hander Frankie Rodriguez (0-1).
John Daniels (1-0) pitched a
perfect 10th inning for the Bulls to
record the win. Mark Eichhorn
got his fourth save.
The Redbirds trailed 5-0 after
the first inning following an RBI
single by Steve Cox, Bubba
Trammell's two-run homer and
Blosser's two-run shot.
Louisville scored single runs in
the first, third, fifth, sixth and
eighth innings to come back and
tie.

Indy tops Charlotte 4-1
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) ?
Roberto Petagine hit a two-run
home run in the sixth inning as

Indians, including an RBI triple
by Steve Gibralter. Rodney
Bolton (1-3) pitched the win,
giving up one run on five hits over
six innings. He struck out two and
walked four. Chris Hammond (1-
3) took the loss for Charlotte,

Jamison takes quick leap toward career with pros
CHAPEL HILL (AP) ? Antawn
Jamison is convinced he's ready
for pro basketball, and he'll be
heading to the NBA with degree
in hand.
The national player of the year
said Monday he'll forgo his senior
year at North Carolina, passing up
a chance to become the Atlantic
Coast Conference's career scoring
leader to enter the NBA draft on
June 24.
"When it was time to leave it
was difficult to swallow because
these three years have probably
been the best three years of my
life Jamison said.
"It is a lot more difficult than I
thought it would be
The 6-foot-9 forward was
joined at a news conference by
coach Bill Guthridge, former
coach Dean Smith, parents Albert
and Kathy Jamison and several
teammates.
"A big reason you are in
coaching is you want what's best
for your players Guthridge said.
"There aren't many that get this
opportunity. So you are thrilled for
him
Jamison is the 13th player to
declare early for the NBA draft,
joining such players as Mike
Bibby of Arizona, Paul Pierce of
Kansas and Robert Traylor of
Michigan. Among the 13 are two
high school players.
Smith will advise
underclassmen to turn pro if
they're projected in the draft's top
five. The former coach did most
of the legwork for Jamison, calling
at least 16 NBA teams to gauge
interest. He likes what he heard.
Jamison, the school's first
national player of the year since
Michael Jordan in 1984, said he
would get his college degree in
African studies after two sessions
of summer school, meaning he
will graduate two semesters ahead
of his class.
"The most important thing for
me is no matter what happens I
have the opportunity to graduate
this summer he said.
"That was the most important
thing about coming to school, to
get a degree and maybe having a
chance to play in the NBA. I am
so close to getting them both at
the same time it was an
opportunity I couldn't pass up
Jamison, the ACC player of the
year, averaged 22.2 points and
10.5 rebounds this season,
becoming the first North Carolina
player since Billy Cunningham in
1964-65 to average a double-
double.
He finished seventh on North
Carolina's scoring list and fourth in
rebounding. This year he set
season marks for field goals and
rebounds and was second in
points in leading the Tar Heels to
a 34-4 record and their second
straight Final Four. North
Carolina lost to Utah in the
semifinals.
Jamison said there was no
chance he would withdraw his
name before the draft, even if the
NBA owners lock out the players.
"I have made my decision and
there's no turning back now he
said. "I am aware there could be a
negative thing with the lockout
but I'm willing to take that
chance
Guthridge said Vince Carter
will decide within two weeks
whether he'll also turn pro after
his junior season. The last time
North Carolina lost two players
early to the NBA was in 1995,
when Jerry Stackhouse and
Rasheed Wallace left after their
sophomore years.

Rugby team defeats University of
Maryland to complete season
STAFF REPORTS
The East Carolina Rugby team
finished off another successful
semester with a convincing defeat
of the University of Maryland
Terrapins 31-0 on Saturday April
25. The game began under sunny
skies and saw a determined
Terrapin team use frequent Pirate
penalties to keep ECU out of
their try zone. ECU would put the
mental mistakes behind them
though and take a 7-0 lead into
half-time after a late score by Matt
Oathout and a conversion by
Brian Best. The second half
would see quite a different Pirate
squad which put the earlier
mental mistakes behind them and
dominate the bigger Maryland
team. Using superior technique to
offset the larger squad of
Maryland, the Pirates ran off 24
second half points to put the
finishing touches on an
impressive victory.
Best led all scorers with two
trys and three conversions while
Kendall Jones and Carl Bricnzi
each added scores. The second
game of the day saw another ECU
victory as the second team of the
Pirates beat the Terrapin second
squad 24-0. The two easy
victories came as a surprise to the
ECU team.
"Yeah, we were surprised
said club president Brad Palmer.
"Maryland is traditionally a very
strong team. Fro the team to
perform the way it did today says
a lot about the program we have
here
The Pirate rugby team was
happy to end with a victory to cap
a nearly flawless season. The
season had such highlights as
winning the twentieth annual St.
Patricks's Day tournament in
Savannah, GA and seeing many
new players step up and fill gaps
for injured players.
"We were all pretty healthy all
year but when we did have
injuries, the young players
performed up to the same level as
many of our veteran players
Palmer said.
The Pirates are looking
forward to the summer off before
a tough fall season, but the team
will be ready, according to team
captain Robert Manning.
"We are anxious for the fall due
'to some unfinished business with
UNC-Chapcl Hill and will be
working hard to make next season
even better than this one said
Manning.
State tops Carolina in 11-inning baseball contest
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) ?Jake Weber hit
a grand slam in the top of the 11th inning to
propel North Carolina State to a 9-4 win over
North Carolina.
The win Sunday helped the Wolfpack (31-
18, 10-8 Atlantic Coast Conference) avert a
three-game sweep by the Tar Heels (32-17,
12-8) in the weekend series.
North Carolina shortstop Brian Roberts set
a conference record with his 51st stolen base of
the season. Roberts also tied Chad Holbrook
for the school record with 98 career stolen
bases.
The game was tied 3-3 after nine innings
and each team added a run in the 10th to tie it
at 4-4.
In the top of the 11th, Andy Ferguson and
Josh Ballard led off with walks off reliever
Ryan Earey. Michael Homey relieved Earey
but Brian Ward hit a grounder that was
misplayed by Roberts to load the bases before
Weber cracked a home run over the left-field
fence. The Pack added an insurance run later
in the inning for a 9-4 lead.
Bubba Scarce shut out the Tar Heels in the
11th to cam the win. Earey took the loss for
North Carolina.

Career Services prepares

Counselors help with
workshops, contacts
Scott Smith
FOCUS SECTION WRITER
Each year, students graduate and go
searching for jobs. For many, that
search begins right here on campus
at Career Services.
Career Services offer workshops
on such things as preparing for the
job interview, resume writing and
business etiquette. Counselors also
help students who are graduating
make contacts with employers.
"We can help them facilitate
connections with employers said
Margie Swartout, assistant director
of Career Services.
According to Swartout, students
should start looking for a job during
their senior year. "We do encourage
students to start looking and
making contacts with employers
during their last academic year
Swartout said. "They can also
register with us and be enrolled in
our database To register with
Career Services you must attend an
orientation registration meeting at
the Career
Services
building during
your last
academic year.
The Career
Services
database has
information on
jobs and is
constantly
updated with
new openings.
Students who
register will
receive a
newsletter
which has
information
about
workshops and
various
employers. It
also has the
schedule of
career days and
interview
schedules which Career Services
organizes.
"We receive hundreds of jobs
every week
and the
entire list is
posted
within our
building
Swartout
said. Job
listings that
can be
found at
Career
Services
range from
banking to
multimedia
jobs. If you
have a
major,
Career

most likely
has a job
listing in
that field.

Travel Abroad allows
statistics, job openings, and basic
company information. There is also
information supplied by employers
on what they expect from an
applicant. This information helps
prepare students for an interview.
An interview room is provided
where students can practice taking
an interview. The interview can be
taped upon request so students can
see the way they presented
themselves throughout the
interview.
The Internet is also a good way
to look for a job or to do research on
jobs.
"The Internet is a very important
tool to use Swartout said. "We are
also doing a workshop on Internet
job searching
Many companies post their jobs
openings and the qualifications
needed on their web sites. This is
becoming more common because it
is the cheapest way to advertise job
openings. A database of
information can be found in a
special SIGI computer that is
located at Career Services.
You can visit Career Services for
more'information anytime during
the week.

students who have questions of any
kind Swartout said.

Jackie Oliver, 22, has an
undergraduate degree from ECU in
communication and a minor in
Spanish. He also has no experience
and no plans for future
employment.
Many ECU students are familiar
with this situation and find
themselves anxious about post-
graduation employment. But the
Travel Abroad program, sponsored
by the International Studies
department, may be an exciting
alternative for jobless graduates,
like Oliver. Oliver has now outlined

Costa Rica to work and study.
"I'm really excited about this
opportunity and I realize that many
students are not as fortunate to

said.
According to advisers in the
international studies office, the
program has been a big help to
students who travel instead of
entering the work force. Dr. Linda
McGowan, an ECU sociology
professor and international studies
adviser, said that opportunities vary
from from one country to another.
"I basically deal with students who
want to travel and work abroad, and

International Studies offers
literature, located in their office and
in Joyner Library. The office also
offers a free magazine entitled
Student Travels, available each
semester to help students plan their
overseas adventure. McGowan also
suggests students use the free 1998
Work Abroad application printed
in each issue. Students are asked on
the application to provide an e-mail
address and all information
regarding the flight and country
they have chosen.
Traveling abroad for a semester
costs the same as in-state tuition at
most universities, according to
Student Travels. The Council on
International
Educational
Exchange and
Council
Travel both
offer fares for
students to
choose from
when
scheduling an
overseas
flight. The free magazine also
includes a toll-free number and a
web site address for further
information like student discounts
and tourist attractions for the
various countries.
Also included in Student Travels
magazine are free identification
card applications and rail passes for
European countries. One of the
more popular rail passes, the Eurail
Pass, ranges in cost from $522 for
15 consecutive days to $1,468 for
three months.
"The Travel Abroad Program is
really an excellent opportunity that
is not very popular at ECU right
now, but hopefully in the future, it
will be McGowan said.

Although graduation signals the
end of classes and exams, for many
students it also signifies the
beginning of the next step on the
academic ladder: graduate school.
For some ECU students, that
means another one or two years in
Greenville. For those of you
thinking of moving to Chapel Hill
or Raleigh to get a graduate degree,
you might want to head over to the
graduate school office located in

FOCUS SECTION WRITER
For today's college graduate, the path
to a successful career begins with
computers. Most hot
careers involve
computers. While jobs
in other industries
such as manufacturing
are on the decline,
computer jobs are
plentiful.

"Computer
engineering and
computer accounting
are two very hot
careers right now
said Judy Davis,
assistant credential
secretary with ECU's Career Services.
"Basically any career that involves
computers is hot right now
The hottest fields for college
graduates include engineering,
accounting, computer science,
education, medicine and health
sciences. At ECU, majors offered that
involve some sort of computer
technology include education,
occupational therapy, industrial
technology and business. According to
ECU's Career Services, these fields
show up in a list of the most popular
majors at ECU.
Even more specifically, there are hot
careers within each field. U.S. News
and World Report reported that in the
field of accounting, a business
evaluator is in great demand and has
the possibility of advancement. In
engineering, a computer engineer has
the highest starting salary out there
right now. In the field of health care, a
physician's assistant is second only to a
computer engineer in starting salary
and is in great demand.
Hot and cold careers can also be
broken down into gender categories as
well. According to the U,S. Bureau of
Labor Statistics, men are rapidly
acquiring jobs in the fields of
engineering and computer science. On
the other hand, women are rapidly
taking jobs in the fields of education
and health science.
According to the Occupational
Outlook Handbook, health care will
account for almost one-fifth of all job
growth until the
year 2005. Another
profession,
personnel supply
services, or
temporary agencies,
will be adding 1.3
million jobs by the
year 2005. In
addition, business
health and
education will
account for 70
percent growth by
the year 2005.
This direcdy relates
to graduates of
ECU, according to
a survey done by
Career Services.
"The top four
careers entered by
graduates were
educationnon-
profit organization,
health care, merchandising services
and government said Lamar Bell,
assistant director of language arts for
Career Services.
Most of the careers that are currently
cold are manufacturing careers such as
factory and assembly line workers.
This is because products are no longer
being manufactured by hand and
machines are taking over. According
to the Occupational Outlook Handbook,
the manufacturing industry will lose
1.3 million jobs by the year 2005.
Other career fields that are cold
right now are the fields that were
highly in demand 10 years ago and are
seriously competitive right now.
Careers such as physical and
occupational therapy, geriatrics and
science.
"One of the most competitive
careers today is occupational therapy
Bell said, "while business careers, on
the other hand, are in great demand

We (ECU) use a self-
managed application for
admission to the
graduate school
Dr. Paul Tschetter
Associate Dean of the Graduate School
continued from pige 2
well as the School of Medicine,
which offers Ph.D.s in eight
disciplines.
According to Dr. Paul Tschetter,
associate dean of the graduate
school, the first step in applying to
the graduate program is to talk to the
chair of the department to which you
want to apply.
"We ECU use a self-managed
application for admission to the
graduate school Tschetter said.
With a self-managed application
process, the student is responsible for
gathering all requirements for
admission, including transcripts and
letters of reference. It is up to the
applicant to make sure all the various
pieces of the application arrive in the
graduate office by the deadline. The
deadline for regular admission is
June 15 for the fall semester and Oct.
15 for the spring semester. Some
schools such as the School of Art
have earlier deadlines.
Applications can be picked up
from the graduate office or
downloaded off the Internet from
(http:www.research.ecu.edugrad).
The graduate office works with
the various academic departments in
choosing qualified applicants. For
each school, the requirements differ,
although all have basic standards for
admission which include a
baccalaureate degree, preferably in
the subject in which the applicant
plans to pursue a degree. Some
schools will make exceptions if the
student agrees to take remedial
classes. A senior year GPA of 3.0 or
an overall GPA of 2.5 and a
satisfactory score on the GRE are
also required.
For most programs, the admission
standard is much more competitive.
Students from universities
worldwide apply to programs at
ECU.
"Business, Physical Therapy and
Occupational Therapy are always
very competitive Tschetter said.
"Psychology and maritime history
are also very popular majors here
There is still time to apply for the
fall semester. Anyone interested in
applying, should come by Ragsdale
131 or contact the chair of the
department for the school to which
you want to apply.
