in Teaching April 29.
Presenting the
award was UNC-sys-

One faculty mem-

A campus-wide volunteer project
brings students close to an elderly
community. This is all in an effort
to bring the two generations clos-
er together through hands-on pro-
jects.
The Tillery Learn and Serve
Project helps Tillery, an isolated
rural community outside of Rocky
Mount with a high percentage of
elderly residents. Each semester,
people from the nine different
disciplines involved come togeth-
er and work on a community pro-
ject for Tillery.
"Over 100 ECU students have
received hands-on training and
education through their work
with the concerned citizens of the
Tillery community center said
LaKeshia Ellis, Tillery volunteer.
Eight different disciplines,
including nutrition, health ed. and
exercise and sports science, have
been involved in the Tillery
Learn and Serve Project for over
three years. The ECU Med

1.5 million phony
cards sold in 1997
Mohamed Hussein
staff writer
A scam has been unveiled dealing
specifically with campus identifica-
tion cards.
A company called the National
College Registration Board
(NCRB) sent out
millions of junk
mail letters to grad-
uating high school
seniors urging
them to purchase a
Campus Card in
preparation for
their entrance into
college.
"What they did
was send out let-
ters all over the
country telling the
incoming college
freshmen that they
could use this card
as a certified col-
lege ID, meal and
bookstore debit
card said Jennifer Sutton, director
of the ECU One Card department.
Approximately 1.5 million cards
were purchased in 1997 at $20
apiece. National colleges and uni-
versities have not acknowledged
the Campus Card, therefore mak-
ing NCRB's card worthless.
Freshmen purchasing the card may
enter college expecting to use their
new card, but will end up having to
obtain a special card for their insti-
tution.
Many college representatives
have filed law suits against NCRB
in petition.
"What has been done is a Cease
and Desist letter has been forward-
ed to the company on April 24
said Ben Irons, university attorney.
"We have asked them to inform us
of the remedial action they arc
going to take to
clear up the

cost of the governor's 1997 inaugu-

the cost of Broad's inauguration
more than doubles that of the N.C.

Broad's inauguration is funded
partially by private donations. The
Assistant Vice President for
Communications of the UNC-sys-

that about $135,000 of the grand

We sent a very comprehensive bill to

hog operators a two year moratorium

It must work. The Senate and I

and give tax credits. We in the Senate

taking the rights away from everyone

America, and farmers in North
Carolina cannot farm any thing else and

filled with people who have used and
abused these substances, but people are
on a bandwagon to control a legalized

UNC-Chapel Hill
makes virtual step
into virtual reality
UNC-Chapel Hill's department of
computer science has made a virtu-
al step in virtual reality.
The department, which is locat-
ed on campus, devotes an entire
floor to the development of virtual
reality.
Computer science Professor
Ken Jeffay said the term "virtual
reality" was coined about ten years
ago, but his department has
researched related technologies for
about 30 years.
Architects can use virtual tech-
nology developed in the depart-
ment's Walkthrough project to view
buildings before they build them.
In the future, surgeons could use
advances from the department's
augmented-reality research to
make biopsies easier.
UNC's researchers are focusing
on enhancing breast biopsies.
Currently, a surgeon can perform a
biopsy by inserting a long needle
into the breast and extracting a tis-
sue sample.
The surgeon would watch the
operation while watching an image
of the inside of the breast on a tele-
vision screen. This image is created
using ultrasound, which shows an

STAFF WRITER
South Greenville has recently been
granted funding for a new recre-
ation center.
The Greenville City Council
recently appropriated $805,000 to
purchase 92.2 acres of land south of
Greenville near D.H. Conlcy High
School. This land will be used to
build a recreationcommunity cen-
ter, as well as four baseball fields
and four Softball fields.
"This a rec center is some-
thing that's been needed a long
time in the southern part of the
city said Boyd Lee, director of the
recreation and parks department of
Greenville.
Phase I for the recreation center
includes building a 20,000 square-
foot recreation center, and four
baseball and Softball fields. The
proposed recreation center will
include two basketball gyms with
12 goals each, as well as volleyball
capabilities. Exercise programs,
meeting spaces and multi-purpose
rooms will be offered. Funds for
this phase have not yet been appro-
priated.
Charlie
Vincent,
Superintendent
of Recreation
for Greenville
said a swim-
ming pool may
be built in the
future.
The
Greenville
Recreation and
Parks
Department
currently offers
22 facilities to
the public,
including the
Greenville
Aquatic and
Fitness Center
located on
Stanton Blvd.
near Catalytica.
Vincent said
this new recre-
ation center will
not replace the
Greenville Aquatics and Fitness
Center, but will serve more as a
community center.
The Aquatics and Fitness
Center offers members wellncss
programs, aerobics classes, a six-
lane indoor pool and a basketball
and volleyball gym.
The ECU recreation center
offers all of these services plus a

The Chapel Hill Housing and

discussed the services the Chapel

drug prevention programs.
The public housing unit was
funded a $5,000 Drug Elimination;
grant to help pay for the counseling;

department will have to reapply for
the grant in August.
The unit is a type of referral ser-

The grant also pays for an
increased police presence in public i

The success rate of the program ;

Ghosts of violent past tetum to
haunt Guatemala long after civil war
GUATEMALA CITY (AP) � The
ghosts of the civil war have
returned to haunt Guatemala, leav-
ing many wondering if the strug-
gling Central American nation can
achieve lasting peace after decades
of bloodletting.
It seemed like the old
Guatemala last Sunday when
� unknown killers used a jagged con-
crete block to crush the skull of a
Roman Catholic bishop who cata-
logued atrocities committed during
the 36-year conflict.
Black-clad marchers demanded
justice and an end to impunity,
recalling demonstrations during the
civil war. Rumors of death threats
circulated, feeding fears that the
nation would slip back into vio-
lence.
"Is this a different Guatemala
now? I don't know said Jose
Miguel Vivanco, the executive
director of Human Rights
WatchAmericas who visited
Guatemala to investigate the bish-
op's slaying. "A lot of people took
the peace process for granted
because everything was going so
well
Even if Bishop Juan Gerardi's
killing proves to be a common
crime, most agree the government
must show it is doing all it can to
solve the case and thereby prove
that Guatemala has changed since
200,000 people disappeared or
were killed during the struggle
between leftist guerrillas and a
series of right-wing governments.
Guatemala's conflict was
Central America's most brutal, with
at least three-fourths of those killed
members of the impoverished
Indian majority.
Tens of thousands of civilians
were slain when the military razed
entire villages during scorched-
earth campaigns of the early 1980s.
Some remain hopeful Guatemala
can overcome its past.
"There is no danger that the
peace process will be reversed
said former rebel commander
Ricardo Ramirez.
But others are less optimistic.
"Nothing will happen to the
killers said Pablo Cancap, a Maya
Indian who traveled from the
northern province of Quiche to
attend Gerardi's funeral.
Solving the slaying is the biggest
challenge President Alvaro Arzu's
government has faced since he and
aging leaders of the insurgency in
December 19 signed agree-
ments ending the war. A 24-year-
old man was picked up for ques-
tioning Thursday, but no formal
charges were immediately filed
against Carlos Enrique Vielman.
"The evolution of the case of
the bishop will allow Guatemalans
to determine if this is really an
authentic peace Vivanco said. "To
see if the government can find the
killers and bring them to justice
Another test case is the the first-
ever trial of army members for a
wartime massacre. Twenty-five sol-
diers are being tried in the 1995
killing of 11 resettled refugees in
the remote northern rainforest of
Xaman.
Things looked bright before the
bishop's slaying.
Since the peace accords were
signed, political crimes have been
almost nonexistent, said Jean
Arnault, head of the U.N. human
rights mission here.
Although no motive has been
established, most believe the mur-
der was committed by former mili-
tary agents warning others not to
bring up past wartime abuses.
The 1,440-page report the bish-
op presented two days before his
killing resulted from more than
6,000 interviews and formed the
most exhaustive account yet of
wartime atrocities. Entitled "Never
Again the report was compiled
primarily for historical reasons.
It identifies places, dates, and in
some cases � names.
Impunity remains a serious
problem here, with criminals �
especially those tied to the military
or government � routinely escap-
ing punishment through connec-
tions, pressure or bribes.
A general amnesty forgave most
political violence during the con-
flict. But it did not forgive atroci-
ties, including massacres and tor-
ture � much of which was detailed
in Gerardi's report.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida
(AP)�Space shuttle Columbia and
its crew returned to Earth, ending
two weeks of lab work that
advanced brain research despite
unexpected animal casualties. And
the experiments were far from
over.
Within an hour, the crew was
hustled off to medical tests that
were expected to go on for days.
Six of the seven astronauts left on
stretchers; doctors wanted them
reclining to preserve their weight-
less state.
At the same time, NASA rushed
to unload the animals so scientists
could begin dissecting the few
dozen surviving baby rats, as well
as the nearly 2,000 fish, snails,
crickets and older rodents that
flew. Most of the young rats died in
orbit, victims of maternal neglect.
It was a race against gravity: the
sooner the astronauts and animals
could be examined, the greater the
likelihood of observing space-
induced changes in the nervous
system.
"I'm sitting here like a little kid
with ants in my pants said Gay
Holstein, a Mount Sinai School of
Medicine researcher whose rats
flew on Columbia. "I can't wait to
get going on my experiment
To everyone's relief, Columbia
landed right on time Sunday at the
Kennedy Space Center, where
about 200 researchers waited with
scalpels.
Commander Richard Searfoss
had only two functioning hydraulic
power units for most of the hour-
long descent. The cooling system
for the third unit failed to work
Saturday; Searfoss turned that unit
on just minutes before touchdown
so it would not overheat.
As soon as Columbia rolled to a
safe stop, Mission Control congrat-
ulated the astronauts for "a historic
mission that elevated neuroscience
research to record heights
Among the space firsts achieved
during the 16-day Neurolab flight:
first direct nerve recordings, first
joint recording of sleep and breath-
ing, first embalming of animals,
and first surgery on animals meant
to survive.
"The data obtained are really a
precious resource that will help us
to unlock some of the mysteries of
the brain said NASA program sci-
entist Mary Anne Frey. "I wish I
could tell you the results right now
but much remains to be done
Only the rodent researchers
knew for sure what they were get-
ting back.
The astronauts kept close watch
on the 170 rodents that rocketed
into orbit with them on April 17,
especially when the baby rats start-
ed dying. The surrogate mother
rats could not or would not nurse
the young animals in space.
Columbia's veterinarian,
Richard Linnehan, said he and his
crewmates set up an intensive care
unit aboard Columbia and, by sac-
rificing two or three nights of sleep,
managed to save some rats that
otherwise would have died. The
astronauts fed them, warmed
them, washed them and dried
them � one by one.
Despite such heroic efforts, 55
of the 96 baby rats died premature-
ly. Researchers hoped to still
achieve their primary objectives.
Because the containers for the
fish, snails and crickets were inac-
cessible aboard Columbia, the
astronauts did not know how those
animals fared in weightlessness.
A quick inspection after land-
ing, however, revealed that only 25
of 225 baby swordtail fish survived
the mission. Researchers suspect
the water in the shuttle aquarium
was too warm. And although the
number of surviving crickets was
not immediately known more than
1,500 flew � scientists gleefully
counted and observed those that
came back hopping.
The postflight dissection plan
called for the surviving fish -and
crickets to be placed on ice and
frozen to death, the snails to be
doused in alcohol, and the rats to
be decapitated or overdosed with
anesthesia. The work was expect-
ed to take hours.
One scientist hoped to get back
more animals than he sent up.
Michael Wiedcrhold, a researcher
at the University of Texas Health
Science Center at San Antonio,
launched 60 adult snails aboard
Columbia. The last time he flew
snails in space, they yielded 500
offspring. Because this mission was
longer, he was hoping for 700.
Reproduction seems to be easy
for snails in space, Wiedcrhold said,
because there's little in the shutde
aquarium for them to run into and
grab onto� except one another.
The big question, for the astro-
nauts anyway, was whether thcyT
would return to space this summer
and do it again. The National
Aeronautics and Space
Administration said it will decide
this week whether to repeat the
Neurolab mission in August to fill
the flight gap created by the antic-
ipated delay in space station con-
struction.
Police detain former protester before anniversary
BEIJING (AP) � Chinese police
detained a student leader of the
1989 Tiananmen Square democra-
cy protests before he could attend
100th anniversary celebrations for
Beijing University, a human rights
group said Sunday.
Wang Youcai, 31, was last seen at
a Beijing hotel on April 27, shortly
after he arrived in the capital to take
part in festivities for his alma mater,
one of China's most prestigious uni-
versities.
Police notified his wife, Hu
lianexia. on Saturday that Wane
Wang was a graduate student in
physics at Beijing University at the
time of the 1989 protests. He was a
leader of the Beijing students'
Autonomous Federation, one of
several independent student bodies
set up to defy the communist
party's monopoly on power.
After the military quashed the
protest movement, Wang was
placed on the government's list of
21 most-wanted student organizers.
He was sentenced to four years in
prison but was -released early,
reoortedlv for reDentine.
Ten Zhejiang-based dissidents
appealed Saturday to the national
and Beijing police forces to release
Wang, saying his detention violated
China's constitution, according to �
copy of their letter released by the
Information Center.
Beijing University's centennial
climaxes Monday with an address
by Communist Party General
Secretary Jiang Zemin.
Founded by one of China's last
emperors as the nation's first mod-
ern academy of higher learning, the

The East Carolinian wants to extend its hearty thanks to the loyal throng of students who
"picked us up" this school year. We are proud to announce that TEC has marvelously
increased in readership, thanks mostly to the crossword puzzles, the crime scene and the
web site. We all know that's what the student body really cares about and we try like fools
to comply.
But aside from those once-in-a-lifetime triumphs, the time has come once again to
remind every graduating senior out there who doesn't already know that it's commence-
ment time. Be there. Go to your graduation. It will occur Saturday, .May 16, right about
the time Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium fills up with parents, well-wishers and alumni. We at
TEC want you to endure the three-hour event because the memories of the blistering sun,
the verbose lecturers and the government-approved guest writer Fred Chappell will
become fond memories 20 years from now. TEC is sure you'll kick yourself if you avoid this
timely event, so go. And be there with bells on.
But don't seriously go with bells on. You are required to wear your black gown and black
cap with the tassel hanging from the right side of the mortar board. And if you must deco-
rate your ceremonial garb according to your department or interests, make sure it isn't
offensive to anyone based on race, religion, creed, gender, age, sex, economic status or sex-
ual orientation. You want people to know that you graduated from a liberal arts university,
and that your education is sophisticated.
TEC reiterates the fact that your graduation from college only ever happens once, and
that missing the event would leave you lacking in your college memories. Imagine getting
married, but not being there for the ceremony. Or imagine dying, but not being there for
your funeral. It's like being in the check out line at the grocery store, and remembering you
forgot your credit cards right next to your car keys, so you have to drive back home to get
them. We at TEC beseech you to attend your graduation. But don't bring beer to drink dur-
ing the ceremony. It's rude and reflects badly on your parents. Save it for the graduation
party, but go to your graduation.
And for those returning in the fall, TEC looks forward to everyone � whether first-
timers or returning veterans � "picking us up" in the summer and fall.

KENNEMUR
Wake up, Lil'Suzy, wake up
Do you realize what you are
missing when you pull down
those shades in your room
and pretend that the clock
says a.m. instead of p.m.?
"I'm so tired, I haven't slept a
wink. I'm so tired, my mind is on
the blink
Many of you Beatles fans out
there recognize those lines from
the song "I'm So Tired" from the
White Album. There is, of course,
another reason for me to start the
column off with Beatles lyrics.
Think about it. How many people
out there arc suffering from sleep
deprivation?
You're probably thinking, "But,
Ryan-DoggDidn't the Beatles
also write a song about Lucy in the
Sky with Diamonds?"
Yes, Billy, they did, but that's not
important right now. What is
important is the fact that students
are sleeping their lives away. I
know quite a few people who will
go to their early morning class, and
then come back to their room and
sleep until mid-afternoon. These
people are missing so much during
the daylight hours, and that is the
inspiration behind this column.
I've heard it all before. You say,
"I'm sleepy because I was up late
typing a paper If you were telling
the truth, you would say, "I'm
sleepy because HBO was running a
marathon of Real Sex 1 through 47
last night
Do you realize what you are
missing when you pull down those
shades in your room and pretend
that the clock says a.m. instead of
p.m.? Well, I'll tell you. Right now,
I can look out my dorm room win-
dow and feast my eyes on many
beautiful things. For instance,
there's a brand new Z-28 Camaro
just below my window, and the
glare from it is almost blinding.
Also, there is a batch of lovely
ladies sunbathing, and because of
all the oil they are using, the glare
from them is almost blinding.
It just kills me to think that so
many people believe that the day
doesn't truly start until beer o'clock
in the afternoon. There are always
at least five people in each one of
my classes who put their heads
down as soon as the professor walks
in. Don't get me wrong. It's good
that these people are coming to
class and all, but I don't think that
the professor should have to con-
sider investing in some of those lit-
tle red and blue fold up mats that
we used in elementary school.
Remember those things? For
some reason, the kindergartners at
my school had to take a nap just
after recess. Contrary to popular
belief, kids don't start to require
mid-afternoon naps until they are
well into their fifties. I remember
we would all just kind of lie there
and think of little kid thoughts,
such as "I can't wait to be seven"
and "The kid next to me smells
like wild onions That was proba-
bly the most boring time of my life.
Sometimes the nerds of the class
would get so bent out of shape that
they would tie their own shoelaces
together. I digress.
In any case, I propose we have a
campus-wide wake-up call on
Wednesday. Just imaginc.we can
all wake up and go outside and be
together and listen to Hendrix play
the National Anthem and we can
all stay away from the brown acid
and then we can alloh wait.
That's been done. Well, I'm sure
we can think of something. Just try
not to sleep through Wednesday,
for your own benefit.
Well, I'd love to keep on writing,
but it's getting close to 10 p.m. and
I have toummwrite a paper.
Yeah, that's it! Write a paper!
If all the exams weren 't at
the same time, maybe we
could even learn something
from them, instead of memo-
rizing the useless facts to
regurgitate onto paper.
Pop quiz, hotshots �- what's more
fun than a busload of Swedish
flight attendants? What cuts into
your social life quicker than halito-
sis? What holes you up in your
room on a sunny day faster than a
crack habit?
You guessed it, kiddies. Exams!
They're back, and they've brought
hell with 'em. We all know the
pain. We're going along, enjoying
the semester, going to class only if
The Price Is Right is a rerun, when
WHAM! Exams start.
It's not the taking of tests that I
mind so much. The occasional test
is to be expected � this is college,
right? But when the last week of
school rolls around and you're con-
fronted with four, five, or even six
major tests (with up to as many as
three on the same day, for an
unlucky few), how is a normal
human of average intelligence sup-
posed to cope?
The only reasonable solution is
to skimp out on studying for select
classes in order to pass more impor-
tant or more difficult ones. And this
way we don't retain as much infor-
mation as would be helpful in our
future lives (or as much as we pay
for) from the neglected classes.
All professors who give compre-
hensive finals must certainly be
sadists, yearning to each an entire
class of seemingly well-adjusted
students writhe, beg, weep, grovel
and try to transport themselves to
another dimension through
telekinesis out of sheer frustration
at the endless barrage of numbing
questions dating back to a period
that you can't even remember what
your wardrobe looked like, much
less what the layers of sediment in
the schizoprepaleodontassive zone
are composed of.
I, personally, have one final that
will determine the course of the
rest of my college career, and thus
my life. Maybe it's my fault for not
paying attention all semester. But
it's so much easier to blame a face-
less exam system, so here's why it
sucks.
Never in our post graduation
lives will there be this many really
huge things going on at once. Let's
take the worst case scenario, for
example. Bbb Bungle gets his
Business Something-or-Other
degree and becomes CEO of a
Fortune 500 company straight out
of college (lucky guy. Bob is). In his
whole career, Bob will most likely
not have six major, life-altering
business projects come to a head
simultaneously. He could, of
course. But as common sense dic-
tates. Bob will choose to space his
projects evenly so that he can con-
centrate more of his energy into
each of them individually, thus
avoiding undue stress and ending
up with much more desirable
results. Smart guy, that Bob.
What exactly is the idea behind
putting us through the unnecessary
hell that is exams? Is it like training
for a 10-mile marathon by running
50 miles twice a year? Because
that's kinda silly.
If all the exams weren't at the
same time, maybe we could even
learn something from them,
instead of memorizing the useless
facts to regurgitate onto paper. We
don't learn the concepts for exams.
We just memorize the junk.
How about we forget about the
archaic exam system and try some-
thing that makes sense? Let's lose
the rule of education that states
"Torture the students as much as
possible, rob them of their tuition
money, and make them squirm in
the process" and .instead, listen to
the voice of reason � one thing at
a time. Please.
LETTER
to the editor
SGA's not all bad
L.ETTER
to the editor
Columnist needs to be enlightened
I am writing in response to Grant
Whitley's column, "Commercials
getting disgusting that was print-
ed April 21. I was drawn to
Whidcy's column for thinking that
I would be exposing myself to an
intellectually argued column. But,
much to my dissappointment, I
wasn't. I found his opinions on
commercials to be ignorant. His
wise-cracked opinions on menstru-
ation, genatalia and venereal dis-
eases only reverberated the kind of
ignorance some American citizens
insist on breeding in the populace.
His non-tolerant attitude on these
intimate subjects only prove how
much more these kinds of commer-
trials should be aired to raise aware-
ness and understanding of subjects
Americans still hold taboo.
I'm sorry that Whitley "does not
wish to think about bleeding geni-
talia if at all possible but it was
that very same cycle that allowed
him to be here. Menstruation has
become a bad word in our society's
vocabulary. Perhaps it is why more
women than men are forced to feel
ashamed and dirty about their bod-
ies over something that they cannot
control. As for his comment on
Anusol, he stated that the name of
the product did not "whet the
appetite Last time I checked, I
thought Anusol was for relief, not a
midnight snack. His annoyance of
undqrwear packaging and his "sci-
entific" claims on the feelings of
admiration or nausea toward the
penis further disturbed me. His
number one complaint about these
commercials was that he often
viewed them while eating.
Maybe it's time for Whitley to
start drink a big glass of reality with
every meal. Tampons, Hanes and
STD's are a part of life; they're real.
They're not some television-mar-
keted idea used to get ratings.
Once Whitley and other people
who share his opinions realize this,
the more enlightened they may
become.
I would like to respond to Britt
Honeycutt's views of our Student
Government Association. Thank
you for a very entertaining and
well-written article. There were
some valid points addressed in the
column, but a few were off the
mark.
The newly-elected Executive
Council has many great ideas to
improve our great school, but park-
ing is not one of them. During cam-
paigning, I spoke out against park-
ing, but never used it as a campaign
issue. Parking is a major problem
on our campus, but it is not a prob-
lem that can be fixed overnight. In
the long-range plans of our univer-
sity, the construction of two parking
decks is included. When will this
happen? Your guess is as good as
mine is, but the bottom line is that
the administration sees it as an
issue and there are plans to correct
this problem.
I was very disappointed with the
voter turnout in the recent election.
Ms. Honcycutt justifies this by say-
ing that she and our fellow students
are an "apathetic bunch I do not
feel that our students are apathetic;
I feel that they are uninformed. I
truly believe that once the students
realize exactly what SGA does,
they will take a more vested inter-
est in the organization. What does
SGA do? The most powerful orga-
nization on this campus does many
things, such as appropriate nearly
$200,000 to over 100 organizations,
address student concerns, such as
the recent moving of Barefoot, and
represent the University at the
local, state and national level. One
of the issues that I did run on this
year is having the students be more
informed and more involved. Our
current Vice President Cliff
Webster has established a web site
to keep the students informed.
The address for the SGA web page
is http:www.sga.ecu.edu. This is
your school as much as it is mine
and it's your right to have your
voice heard. I challenge you to
make a difference. How are we to
know what you feel needs to be
changed if you do not tell us?
East Carolina has many great
things to offer, but there are
changes that need to be made. We,
as a student body, need to work"
together, to make these changes.
The SGA represents every student
here at ECU and although we may
not agree with some of the opinions
out there, wc respect thcmCandy
at the polls? Good idea; might try it
next year. As for the "used car
salesman" stereotype, I could
never sell used cars, only new ones.

Iraq needs to loosen up
Keith
COOPER
Tornadoes deserve respect
History . . . indicates that the
recent tornadoes were kind
compared to the vicious,
top-ten U.S. "killer"
tornadoes predating the
recent catastrophes.
Tornadoes, destructive whirling
winds accompanied by funnel-
haped clouds progress in a narrow
jath often for many miles over the
and, occur in many parts of the
vorld. Tornadoes, the most violent
tmospheric phenomenon on the
)lanet, occur most frequently in
he Central Mississippi Valley, and
re associated with a fall in baro-
netric pressure so rapid that wood-
;n structures are often lifted and
)urst open by the air confined
vithin them. Recently, Alabama,
Tennessee, and Arkansas were tor-
lado-stricken in a seemingly
.engeance indelibly etched in
nany minds. History, however,
ndicates that the recent tornadoes
were kind compared to the vicious,
op-ten U.S. "killer" tornadoes pre-
lating the recent catastrophes. Yet,
:itizens of tornado-prone areas
nust be educated as to how to pre-
)are for the inevitable.
A case in point was a tornado
which occurred in Missouri,
Illinois, and Indiana on March 18,
1925. Around 1:01 p.m. near
Ellington, Missouri, trees snapped,
and for the next three and a half
hours more people would die, more
schools would be annihilated, more
students and farm owners would be
killed, and more deaths would
occur in a single city than from any
other tornado in U.S. history. In
Missouri alone, about 13 people
were killed.
In Gorham, Illinois, 34 people
died while the town was destroyed.
Over half the town's population
was killed or injured.
Murphysboro, however, saw the
largest death toll within a single
city in U.S. history. Of the 234
deaths, at least 25 were in different
schools. Surprisingly, all of the
schools were brick and stone struc-
tures and built with little reinforce-
ment. Yet, many students were
crushed under falling walls. The
losses in Murphysboro alone
totalled about 10,000,000.
Additionally, in nearby Desoto, 69
people were killed, and the 33
deaths at the school were the worst
in U.S. tornado history.
In Indiana, at least 71 people
died. About 150 homes were lost in .
the town of Griffin, and many chil-
dren were killed on their way home
from school. Cumulatively, over
695 people died and over 2027
were injured in the tornadoes that
hit Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana in
1925.
Other states had similar destruc-
tion and horror stories about killer
tornadoes. Nonetheless, between
Louisiana and Mississippi, 317 and
109 people died and were injured,
respectively, on May 7, 1840.
Moreover, since slave deaths gen-
erally were not recorded, the death
toll, on Louisiana plantations was
extremely high during the Pre-
Civil War era.
How would you protect yourself
if a tornado were approaching?
The National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA) has issued the following
tips: 1.) In homes or small build-
ings- Go to the basement (if avail-
able) or to an interior room on the
lowest floor, such as a closet or
bathroom. Wrap yourself in over-
coats or blankets to protect yourself
from flying debris; 2.) In schools,
hospitals, factories, or shopping
centers- Go to interior rooms and
halls on the lowest floors. Stay
away from glass- enclosed areas
with wide-span roofs such as audi-
toriums and warehouses. Crouch
down and cover your head; 3.) In
high-rise buildings- Go to interior
small rooms of halls. Stay away
from exterior walls or glassy areas;
4.) In cars or mobile homes-
Abandon them immediately. After
all, most deaths occur in cars and
mobile homes.
Indeed, tornadoes can be very
destructive. Although the size of a
tornado is not necessarily an indica-
tion of its intensity, the U.S. gets
about 1000 recorded tornadoes
every year. About 200 U.S. torna-
does have killed more than 18 peo-
ple. However, improved commu-
nications, forecasting, detection,
and public awareness substantially
have reduced the death figures. In
any event, in the U.S. since May 7,
1840 (when over 317 people were
killed by a tornado in Natchez,
MS), tornadoes have killed more
than 2,400 people and injured more
than 8,900.
Instead of attacking Iraq, let's
try to get Saddam to loosen
up. You can't blame the guy
for being uptight. It's got to be
frustrating to be a militaristic
expanionist and have such a
crappy army.
Baghdad � Today, a disturbing
development in the Crisis With
Iraq(tm). CBS News reports that
the Iraqi army (I use the term
loosely) can buy highly detailed
satellite photographs of United
States military installations in the
Middle East. The companies offer-
ing this service to piss-ant dictators
like Saddam do business over the
Internet, which always adds a
degree of insidiousness to whatev-
er-the-hell-wc're-tal king-about.
These photos will allow the Iraqis
to know the strength and location
of the troops that will inevitably
smash them all over again in a
future war.
Why, you ask, aren't I making
gestures and calling for Strong
Action(tm)? Because I am not a
politician, which is why I know that
the Internet cannot be used for mil-
itary intelligence. Let's envision
the content of the Internet as the
national debt. One cent of that
sum is devoted to satellite photos,
bomb recipes, chicken recipes, and
Puff Daddy. The other
$4,999,999,999,999 is pom. The
Iraqis will get some photos off of
the Internet, all right.
To test my hypothesis, I did a lit-
de searching of my own. An Iraqi
who was ordered to get some satel-
lite photos would most likely have
to use a search engine to find a
website which sold them. I went to
Altavista
(www.altavista.digital.com) and did
a search for the word "photos
The second match it gave me was
(I am NOT making this up)
"Laurie's Nylons and Garters-
Amateur Lingerie Photos and Sexy
Videos The web site says that it
features "amateur shaved exhibi-
tionists Imagine you're an Iraqi
soldier. You're tired and hungry.
You haven't changed your turban in
days. Would you rather look at
blurry photos of American tanks or
amateur shaved exhibitionists?
Inscead of attacking Iraq, let's try
to get Saddam to loosen up. You
can't blame the guy for being
uptight. It's got to be frustrating to
be a militaristic expanionist and
have such a crappy army. Anyone
comparing Saddam to Hitler had
better go read up and find out if any
Germans ever surrendered to Wolf
Blitzer. (Obscure Reference: Wolf
Blitzer is a reporter for CNN. He is
the senior White House correspont,
being on hand to discuss such
"gripping" national issues as oral
sex, oral sex, and oral sex.) The
menace that is Iraq has been blown
completely out of proportion, just
like the President. When asked his
opinion, Pat Buchanan stated "We
should build a thirty foot high wan
along our border with Iraq When
questioned about that statement,
Buchanan replied, "Go back to
Portugal, Jose I've already men-
tioned the fact that the Iraqi army is
the military equivalent of the crap
you get on your hands after eating
Cheetos, but some people are wor-
ried about that Tijuana tap water
that the Iraqis call biological
weapons. U.N. inspectors haven't
been able to pinpoint Iraq's biolog-
ical weapons labs because they are
so unlikely. Mustard gas? Yeah, the
kind you get after eating a hot dog.
The United States needs to
reorient its foreign policy. Instead
of constantly worrying about Iraq
we should be learning more dirty
Spanish words from Madeline
Albright, who did not sound
absolutely ridiculous talking about
cojones. On a related note, a feder-
al judge recently ruled that Bill
Clinton's cojones did not damage
Paula Jones' career, though the
blinding whiteness did impair her
vision for a time. To all the net-
work news heads: I don't want to
hear another word about Iraq until
someone in the military tells
Saddam, "Take this bomb and
shove it"
OPINION
John
DAVIS
Is our chancellor really a tyrannical leader ?
.the Chancellor just seemed
like a harmless coward, not a
tyrant to me. Sure, he seemed
to be a bit oppressive. . .1 did-
n 't figure he actually had
tyrannical moves.
There's a sign posted in a local busi-
ness: "All Hail King Richard of
Eakin: Tyrant of Greenville Up
until the past few weeks, I'd have
been inclined to generally disagree
with that title; the Chancellor just
seemed like a harmless coward, not
a tyrant to me. Sure, he seemed to
be a bit oppressive with the e-mail
thing. You do have to wonder why
the old guy wants so badly to have a
peek at our e-mails, but I had just
figured he was scared of getting
sued.
I didn't figure he actually had
tyrannical motives in the e-mail sit-
uation, but now, with his decision
about Dr. Sal DeMarco, I'm not so
sure anymore. Eakin originally
brought the charges against Dr.
DeMarco, and then did not even
bother to attend the hearings. The
six faculty members who reviewed
DeMarco's case found in his favor,
and yet Eakin, who did not attend
the hearings, decided to fire him
anyway. As if it were his plan all
along.
Of course, there's no way to
know the inner workings of the
Chancellor's mind, but he isn't talk-
ing to the press. Meanwhile, not
only is Dr. DeMarco talking to the
press, he's releasing all the related
materials concerning his case, even
ones that paint him in a bad light.
Now who am I supposed to
believe? The guy who wanted to
fire a tenured professor, didn't con-
sider the hearings important
enough to attend and won't talk to
the press, or the guy who's allowing
the press to see material that paints
his character with "emotional and
credible descriptions of fear?"
It's entirely possible that
DeMarco just knows how to play
the press in his favor, but if the
charges against DeMarco are true,
then I doubt a fellow who suppos-
edly shouted obscenities during
meetings, physically abused col-
leagues and canceled appointments
would have the savvy necessary to
snow the press that way.
It seems much more likely that
the Chancellor, who just recently
staunchly protected his ability to
invade the privacy of every student,
faculty and staff member at the
University, who marched into the
Faculty Senate meeting with his
lawyer and let them know in no
uncertain terms that he wasn't giv-
ing up his peeping privileges, no
way no how, who tried to pass all
this off as "protecting us from false
security" is the guy giving us the
snow-job.
He set out to fire DeMarco, and
that's just what he did. DeMarco
said Eakin is acting as "prosecuting
attorney, judge and jury (Can we
say conflict of interest?) The
Chancellor used (abused?) his
power to ignore the recommenda-
tions of two faculty groups, prefer-
ring instead to continue doing what
he originally planned.
These don't sound like the
actions of a chancellor, which
Webster defines a a "chief execu-
tive i.e an administrator, not a
lawmaker. These sound like the
actions of an autocrat, a monarch or,
perhaps "an absolute ruler unre-
strained by law or constitution who
exercises absolute power oppres-
sively i.e Webster's definition of
a tyrant
Of course, I have no way of
knowing the truth one way or the
other. I'm fully willing to admit that
the Chancellor could have the best
of intentions. He could be genuine-
ly concerned about giving us a false
sense of security. He could have
accurately assessed DeMarco's situ-
ation. But as long as the Chancelloi
isn't playing with all his cards on the!
table, I have no choice but to add
up the facts as I see them. And righi
now, the facts don't make the
Chancellor look so good.

The East Carolinian
CD
review
Miles Davis Bill Laswell
Panthalassa
9 OUT OF 10
John Davis
assistant lifestyle editor
Back when techno was still just a
glint in Brian Eno's eye, Miles
remarked that he could build the
greatest rock band ever. He was
always trying to push the jazz
envelope, taking the genre kicking
and screaming to new and strange
places.
Most jazz purists (those that
give way too much credit to the
braggadocio that was the bebop
era) ignore Miles's contributions to
jazz in the early '70s on the
grounds that he quit filling his
records with endless chattery
solos. Those purists still try to copy
Clifford Brown; meanwhile, Miles
has gone on to influence not only
jazz, but every other form of mod-
ern American music. Radiohead,
for example, cites Bitches' Brew as a
strong influence on their Grammy-
winning OK Computer.
It's no surprise then, that tech-
no wizard and DJ Bill Laswell
found it appropriate to root around
in Miles outtakes to concoct
Panthalassa. Laswell and countless
other "electronica" artists have no
doubt been heavily influenced by
Miles' exploratory ambient work
of the early 70s.
Panthalassa is not just a remix
album. Rather, it is a synthesis of
several Miles compositions.
Laswell has done a lot more than
scotch tape new fashionable beats
onto old Miles tracks. Instead,
Laswell has included himself in
the actual process of composing,
ex post facto;
What with the Beatles antholo-
gies and other technical wonders,
modern recording has been build-
ing up to this. Miles considered
the recording studio as much a
musical instrument as his own
trumpet, and Laswell obviously
felt the same way and wanted to
"sit in" with Miles.
The result is a darkly exotic,
ambient exploration and synthesis
of the originals. Laswell blends
"In a Silent Way "Shh
"Peaceful" and "It's about Time"
just on the first track. The result is
a gorgeous new piece of music
that's just as fresh and innovative
as the originals.
Track two, a synthesis of "Black
Satin "What If" and "Agharta
Prelude Dub exemplifies
Laswell's skill and personality.
Spiced with tablas and other exot-
ic instrumentation, this song is
loop-heavy and very funky. Miles's
psychotic melody form "Black
Satin" becomes the center of the
loops, and Laswell has carefully
arranged the surrounding decora-
tive sounds expertly.

Graduate exhibition largely a success
ART
review
Exhibition runs
thmughendofMay
John Davis
assistant lifestyle editor
There's a lot of talent nestling over
in the Leo Jenkins building. The
Graduate Thesis exhibition has
been up in the Gray Art Gallery for
over a week. If you ever thought it
was weird for art students to go to
grad school, you need to check this
exhibit out.
There is a wide array of media
and styles represented, from Julie
Spivey's graphics-heavy "Body of
Work to the simply elegant
ceramics work of Amy Evans.
There are quirky, kinky sculptures,
mixed media pieces and more than
a few paintings. Pretty much every-
thing in the exhibit is evidence of
the quality of ECU's art program.
For example, Spivey's series of
graphic design banners are some of
the best work in the show.
Centered around the theme of how
women fit into modern American
culture, these gorgeous designs
exemplify all that's great about our
Communication Arts program.
Rather than proselytizing, Spivey
makes her points with a subtlety
and just a bit of tongue-in-cheek
playfulness. One banner simply
points out that in 1920, women
gained suffrage rights in America,
which happens to be the first year
of the Miss America Pageant
Then there's Jodi Hollnagel's
sculptures. These assemblages
resemble the spooky but lovable
toys in Sid's room in the Disney
movie Toy Story. One, "Love cap-
tures all the joy and ecstatic terror
of falling in love, and this without a
snappy or political title.
Amy Evans's ceramic pieces are

superb. They're really just simple
tea sets and cups; pretty simple
ceramics fare, but boy, oh boy, are
they beautiful. Light, sweeping and
brightly colored, these vessels are
almost too beautiful to actually use.
Almost.
There are some smart, epic
paintings by C. Tanner Jensen and
some lovely mixed media pieces by
Mark Cooley. Cooley's work,
"When the Mechanics of Try Fail
is a little too reliant on the title, but
even so, it manages to capture all
those existentialist angst thingies
that the baby boomers think our
generation is filled with. By and
large, "one of the most refreshing
aspects of the show in general is
that this complaintive whining is
absent. Most of the art reflects
extreme depth of thought and emo-
tion.
Sadly, there is that bad apple in
the bunch.
Although I tried, I
had a hard time
swallowing Kelly
Sheppard's work.
Most of her pieces
were disappoint-
ing, if for no other
reason than they
seem to lack the
depth of thought
and experience of
her classmates. She
has several copper
cut-outs of female
silhouettes that
aren't very well
designed and have
buzz words and
feminist propagan-
da engraved into
them. The text
isn't even artfully
included; it's just
slapped haphazard-
ly on the copper.
The most frus-
trating aspect of
her exhibit- is that
it seems to have
been intended to
be an exploration
of cultural values
concerning physi-
cal image.
Unfortunately, just
like the attitudes
she wants to criti-
cize, Sheppard's
pieces don't get
beyond surface
appearances.
The hingepin of
her exhibit,
"Should we alter
the body or should
we transform our
perception of the
body?" is problem-
atic at best. If the
sculpture was well-
made, I might be able to ignore the
title. But it's just a wax mold of
someone's body with candle wicks
poking out of "problem areas
which are a weak pun on "burning
fat
The logic of the title is fuzzy. I
can envision a companion piece: an
anvil periodically falls from the ceil-
ing at a high rate of speed. The title
of the work reads: "Should we
move out of the way of the anvil
about to squish us or should we
alter our perception of the anvil
about to squish us?" Naturally, the
piece would remove the people
dumb enough to try and alter their
perception from the gene pool.
Should we alter the body Kelly Sheppard
PHOTO BY JOHN DAVIS
The title ignores that fact that,
except in rare cases, obesity is an
alteration of the body already, and
an unhealthy one at that. Apart
fromthc way some insensitive peo-
ple may treat obese people, the fact
Ceramics pieces by Amy Evans
PHOTO IY JOHN DAVIS
remains that obesity leads to heart
failure, skeletal problems, clogged
arteries, aneurysms and a plethora
of other health risks. I would have
to say that a large part of modern
medicine hinges on altering the
body to keep us healthy.
The most frustrating aspect of
Sheppard's exhibit is that it only
serves to do the one thing that she
doesn't want- to draw more atten-
tion to the fact that Sheppard is
overweight. There is no psycholog-
ical depth or interesting explo-
ration, it's just a bunch of complain-
ing that the average American man
isn't attracted to obesity. I kept
waiting for something deeper, some
important idea or insight and all I
got was political diatribe.
Bitterness makes for very shal-

Student goes where life
takes him
Miccah Smith
senior writer
Senior art student and featured
Rebel artist Brian Buchanan has
some definite ideas about life. He's
witty, intense, knows himself and
knows what he likes: people, for
instance. His paintings often
reflect his own self-image and
knowledge, and a need to connect
with people who are important to
him.
"I would never be anywhere,
where I am right now, without
friends he admitted. Often he
chooses to symbolize his close
friends in his paintings by associ-
ating them with particular objects.
He uses a tooth or the number
"33" to represent himself.
Although the symbols may
seem disconnected from the
things they represent to most casu-
al observers, Buchanan says the
meanings aren't arbitrary. To him-
self, they're clearly defined, once
he decides upon the meaning for
himself. But sometimes the true
personal implications of his paint-
ings take him by surprise.
"It's real cryptic he said. "I
don't really think about it until after
it's done. Whenever I draw, I don't
think about it and stuff just kind of
happens
The 22-year-old has spent five
years working toward his BFA in
the School of Art, and now he's
ready for the next phase of his life,
whatever that may be.
And after that? "I've got focus, I
don't have plans. You know what I
mean?" he said intro.spectively.
"You never know how good you
could have it, so why plan for it?"

opinion
Campus dining stinky; Wendy's good
Eat cheap; drink toliet
water
Miccah Smith
senior write
This being our last issue and all
until the summer semester, I'd like
to take the opportunity to speak
out about an issue I deal with fairly
frequently: making smart eating
choices.
I'm not referring to counting
calories or fat grams or cholesterol
content This is a different matter
entirely. Eating smart to me is
about getting the most edible food
for the least amount of money.
Do you know where Aramark
and the campus dining halls are on
my list of smart eating choices?
Waaay down there, somewhere
between Ramen noodles and pencil
shavings.
For illustration's sake, let's take a
fixed amount, say five dollars, and
see how far it can go at dinnertime
around here.
Mendenhall and Todd arc out of
the question, seeing as how they
think so highly of their inferior buf-
fets that they charge a wallet-numb-
ing $5.60 for the privilege of entry.
Tray is included.
Can't cat there, but golly gee,
that's what campus cafes are for,
right? With their $1.79 cheeseburg-
ers even McDonald's would sneer
at, overpriced candy bars and pizza
with a crust so close in texture to
human flesh I don't have the heart
to eat it, these cafes require more
than a bit of savvy to negotiate.
The Wright Place, which I have
affectionately dubbed "The Wrong
Place serves decent sandwiches
and bows stiffly to the "meal
combo" concept by offering sand-
wich, drink and chips combos for
around the three dollar range. And
their freshly-baked muffin-loaf-
cake thingies are pretty good for 89
cents.
But trust me, if you've got cash
to blow for dinner, you've got better
things to do with it. At Alfredo's you
can get two huge slices of cheese
pizza and a drink for under a fiver.
Or one one-topping slice, one
cheese slice and a drink. Or two
two-topping slices and drink from
the toilet. Hey, it's better than
Aramark!
There's a Subway a couple of
doors down where they usually
have really cheap specials on six-
inch subs, or you can pick up a foot-
long veggie and a drink for under
five bucks.
Hardee's and McDonald's usual-
ly try to throw big ole burgers at ya
for 99 cents a couple of times a
month, which would render a trip
to one of these fast-food meccas
economical if you can remember
which one is offering which special
at which time, but I've saved the
best for last.
At Wendy's you can get four
things from the 99 cents menu and
still have enough change left over
for a canned drink back on campus.
This, my friends, is truly the
smartest eating choice you could
ever make.
Choose from Jr. Cheeseburgers
or bacon cheeseburgers, double-
stack quarter-pounders, baked
potatoes, Biggie fries, Frosties,
chicken nuggets, salads, oh, the list
just goes on and on.
I'm not even going to begin to
postulate on the combinations that
can be made by choosing four of
these heavenly menu items at a
time, because I have found it to be
a very personal matter.
All I can say is, you don't have to
give Aramark any more of your
daddy's hard-earned cash. Take
heart, there's real food to be gotten
out there if you scavenge hard
enough. I'll see you at Wendy's.

has, in fact, driven, than on the

Buchanan was excited about his

first exhibit featured in his friend's
new gallery in Tarboro. "I've got

He hoped to sell some of his

to frame them. He reasoned that
low prices would insure the distrib-

Track three is an amazing burst
of energy. The pace is somewhere
between a '70s back-alley cop show
chase and a sci-fi crash landing.
Even more amazing is how Laswell
has managed to include his signa-
ture all over the piece without mak-
ing Miles' song sound like a
Laswell original. Track four is the
only track with material culled from
only one song. Essentially, it's a
remix of "He Loved Him Madly"
and Laswell has focused on the
flute solo. The rhythm section has
been slowed down to give to the
song a faux-jungle on depressant;
sound, but combined with the
spikey guitar interjections, it gives
the song a very tranccy feel.
Overall, this record is superb.
There are a few ever so tiny awk-
ward moments, but they're almost
unnoticeable. Laswell has managed
to bring Miles' spirit and his ecu-
menical approach to music into
techno, which is no small feat. The
best thing is that this record sounds
like what Miles himself would have
done if he'd lived into the late '90s.

A Girl and A Gun
David N. Meyer
Andv Turner
lifestyle editor
"All you need to make a film is a
girl and a gun wisely explained
legendary French director Jean Luc
Godard.
Although David N. Meyer uses
those same sentiments to title his
new guide to film noir on video, A
Girl and A Gun, he shows that film
noir is much more than tough guys
with gats and femme fatales aching
to screw them. Film noir, when
done well, offers intelligent, often
subtle, exploration of the dark and
ugly parts of human existence.
In addition to explaining the
usual technical aspects of noir (dark
images, shadowy frames) and what
is noir and whac
is not, Meyer
discusses the
recurring themes
of noir. "no good
deed goes
unpunished
"character deter-
mines fate" and
"crime doesn't
pay, but normal
life is an experi-
entialexistential
straitjacket
It's appropri-
ately ironic,
Meyer argues,
that the very
American art
form was named
by the French.
Noir, Meyer
says, turned the
tables on whom
the good guys
and bad guys
were and what
moral codes (if
any) were appro-
priate. The sto-
ries of noir offer
"powerful
metaphors for
the undercur-
rent of violence in American life
and for a deep dissatisfaction with
widely espoused (though entrap-
ping) middle class values he
writes.
Meyer also analyzes the contra-
dicting characteristics of women
and men in noir. The men are usu-
ally the heroes (or antiheroes) who
live by their own code of conduct in
pursuit of personal freedom (or
maybe just booze and dames). Noir
"Next time, put the cap on the toothpaste

women are often powerful and just
as often treated like the queen of

While not denying their impor-

course, that would take work and

movies, hampered by "big studio
slickness didn't have the power of
low-budget noir gems like Kansas
City Confidential and Gun Crazy.
Meyer is a former music video
critic for the notoriously ass-kissing
Entertainment Weekly, so you may
question his ability to effectively
write about the dirty, stank world of
noir. But A Girl and A Gun adapts
the hard-boiled style of its subject
matter to great effect. He offers
intelligent discourse of noir while
giving straight-foward insight about
movies like the modern noir, After
Dark, My Sweet. After Dark, My Sweet,
based on the novel by pulp-fiction
master Jim Thompson, illustrates

when Greenville natives Ska Fu
Squirrels launched the show into
action for the evening. Ska Fu
Squirrels got the ball rolling with a
cover of the tune "Peter Gun
(more commonly known as the
theme song for the arcade game
Spy Hunter). As they started to
play, the last few members all ven-
tured up onto the stage one by one
to add a piece to the song. The final
member count was eight musi-
cians, with two guitars, bass, drums,
two saxes, trombone and trumpet
in the brass section.
After the intro-song, Ska Fu
exploded and got really wild. The
singerguitarist was dancing his
crazy legs in a frenzy that sparked a
mass of crowd members joining in
to dance as well. From this moment
on, the show was non-stop energy.
They delivered a nine song set of
old school ska that kept the crowd
pleased and the Squirrels dancing.
They added a few instrumental
songs that sounded like the sound-
track to some old '30s gangster
movie as well as new and old songs
from their repertoire.
Following the Ska Fu Squirrels
and a small resting period for the
crowd was Regatta 69, based out of
Chapel Hill. There was no creep-
ing intro with this band. They
erupted like a volcano and they
were extremely powerful. They
were a five piece consisting of gui-
tar Bass and drums and driven by
this piercing brass section of trom-
bone and trumpet. The brass sec-
tion created harmonies that
seemed to sing along with the
music.
An interesting part of their set
was the stories that were told of
being on the road since they have
been on tour of the college scene
for a while. They also dedicated a
song to Chapel Hill brethren
Southern Culture on the Skids
(due to the fact that it was a bit
"country") titled "Skabilly
Regatta 69. are quite praiseworthy
considering their road experience,
and skill of vocal and instrumental
harmonies. The tightness in the
music is as good as it gets and their
stage presence can be compared to
that of a controlled riot. They are
an act worth viewing.
To wrap things up was New
York City's Skinnerbox. Though
they are considered a ska band and
though they do play ska music,
there is a discemable reggae influ-
ence as well as jazz undertones in
their music. They consisted of the
standard rhythm section: guitar,
stand up bass and drums, as well as
the brass section: trombone (who
doubled as the singer), trumpet and
saxophone. They delivered excel-
lent vocal and instrumental har-
monies and had exceptionally
bizarre jazz-style fills on guitar.
They delivered over an hour's
worth of music including old school
ska and reggaeska. One of the
songs, simply introduced as a
"Song about the Stooges" was a
slow jazzy piece that could have
paid homage to the Three Stooges,
or perhaps the band The Stooges
which most know from Iggy Pop's
contributions. Throughout their
set, the fans continued with their
dancing and grooving to the point
that when the set was complete,
they cheered Skinnerbox out for a
one song encore before ending the
night
Watching this show was like
watching the evolution of a ska
band. With each act came a little
more experience that told tales of
the road and showed signs of good
and bad times. These bands can
count on only getting better and
maturing even further as musi-
cians. Aside from all of the pointing
and laughing at my cowboy hat,
overall, it was a hell of a night.

TRAVIS BARKLEY
SENIOR WRITER
For the second year in a row, the
ECU Softball team fell short in its
bid for the Big South Conference
championship.
Despite having the number
one seed as regular season
champions, ECU was knocked
out of the tournament on
Saturday.
The Pirates got off to a good
start on Friday, winning their first
fime against Liberty 3-1. Denise
eagan got her 18th win of the
year, allowing only two hits and
one unearned run. Reagan struck
out four and walked none in the
complete game victory.
Liberty scored their lone run in
the top of the fourth to break a
scoreless tie. ECU responded
with two runs of their own in the
bottom half
of the
inning.
Catcher

H a 1 p e r n
singled with
one outj and
scored on
Dawn
Conrad's
single to
center. Two
batters later, Harmn
Conrad
scored on a triple by Jessica
Critcher. Amy Hooks hit her first
home run of the season in the fifth
to provide the final score.
On Saturday, ECU faced ofT
against Coastal Carolina, a team
they defeated twice in the regular
season.
Coastal jumped out to a 2-0
lead in the first inning on a two-
run single by Brooke Weisbrod.
ECU answered with single runs in
the first three innings to take a 3-
2 lead. Coastal reclaimed the lead
5-3 with two runs in the fifth and
one in the seventh.
In the bottom of the seventh,
ECU loaded the bases and tied
the game on Halpern's two-out,
two-run single.
However, Coastal would score
three times in the eighth and hold
on to win 8-5.
The loss prevented ECU from
advancing to Sunday's
championship game. Instead,
ECU was forced to play another
game against Liberty.
Second baseman Keisha
Shepperson hit her fifth home run
of the season in the first, giving
ECU a quick 1-0 lead. The Pirates
added two in the fourth and
seemed to be cruising along until
the top of the fifth. Liberty
exploded for six runs in the inning
and added three more in the sixth
for the 9-3 upset. Coastal scored
their runs on just six hits. Starter
Lisa Paganini took the loss,
pitching 4 13 innings before
being replaced by Jami Bendle.
Paganini finished the season with
a 10-7 mark. Going into the game,
Coastal had an 0-9 record against
ECU.
Junior slugger Isonette
Polonius
said that
going into

the team felt
their
chances
were good of

ECU's loss in the tournament
spoiled an otherwise exciting
week for several Pirate players
who made the Big South all-
conference teams. Polonius won
the league's Most Valuable Player
as well as the Scholar Athlete of
the Year.
"It feels pretty good, but I'm
not thinking about it right now
Polonius said.
Polonius ended the year with a
25-game hitting streak and led the
team in 10 offensive categories.
Her .476 average, 15 home runs
and 62 RBIs ranked among the
national leaders.
Shepperson was named to the
all-conference second team and
won the Big South Rookie of the

ECU's ultimate frisbee team took
second at the Mid-Atlantic
regionals the weekend of April
25th and 26th. The (rates' wins
qualified them for the national
ultimate frisbee tournament later
this month.
"We're ranked 10th in the
nation right now senior co-
captain Josh Poucher said.
The regionals were played as a
double elimination bracket. The
Irates lost in the third round semi-
finals against NC State and
dropped to the losers bracket,
where they were able to take
second. NC State took first place.
"The only team that gave us
any trouble was NC State senior
Pete Gutowski said.
The Irates pulled off a
comeback against Haverford
College. At one point, the Irates
were losing 6-1, but they came
back and beat them 15-7.
"I felt like the first day we
were slow getting started senior
Mark Ihnot said, "but then we
stepped up and took control when
we needed to. Sunday we

The Irates also played Navy,
UNC-Chapel Hill, U. Penn, and
Lee High.
"It was the first time all season
we had true teamwork and a lot of
the rookies stepped up Ihnot
said.
The national competition will
be played in Blane, Minnesota on
the 29th. 30th and the 31st of
May. The first two days will be
pool play.
The Irates will be assigned to
one of two pools. Each team will
play twice on the 29th and three
times on the 30th. The top two
teams in each pool will advance to
the semifinals. The semifinals
and finals will be held Sunday the
31st.

showing.
The Irates lost to Colorado in a
close game earlier this year and
lost to Stanford by two.

SENIOR WRITER
Antainc Jones led the Pirates last
weekend as they beat James
Madison University three games
to two in the series. In Saturday's
double header Antaine Jones
followed up his stellar Friday
night 4-6 hitting performance by
hitting 4-6 again in the first game
and 3-4 in the second. Jones
started off Saturdays second game
at the lead off position where he
destroyed the bail over the right-
center field wall to complement
his seventh inning home run in
the first game. Then two batters
later, still in the first. Junior Steve
Salargo cleared the out field fence
for his seventh home run of the
season to give the Pirates a 2-0
lead early in the game.
"I'm just trying to get out on a
good note, I was hitting the ball
really well all season, they just
finally started falling for me
Jones said after Saturdays
victories.
In the second and third innings
everybody got a chance to hit as
the pirates batted
around in both
innings scoring
nine runs and six
hits, which upped
the lead to 11-0 by
the end of the third
inning. JMU had a
small rally in the
top of the sixth
inning, but it was
not enough as the
Pirates took the W
in Saturday's
second game with a final score of
14-4.
"I think the whole team is
swinging the bat well and the
pitchers are doing their job, it's all
coming together Steve Salargo
said. "This weekend definitely
helps us out, we've got a lot of
momentum going with us and
we're ready to roll right into the
weekend.

Pamc to make him 0-1. The
irates accumulated six errors in
their 9-8 loss on Friday, which
may have made the difference in
the game.
In Saturday's first game the
Pirates were down 11-7 going into
the sixth inning when ECU
capitalized on two Duke errors to
come with in one run of the lead.
Then in the seventh inning with
two outs and down one run
Antaine Jones hit a solo home run
which tied the game at 11. Then
in the top of the eighth inning
Conrad Clark managed to hold
the Dukes to no runs in the top of
the ninth enabling who else, but
Antaine Jones to hit in pinch
runner Kidah Snev-d for the game
winning run.
"I thought today 'as our best
effort all year, I thought we were
able to come back after a tough
loss yesterday and put it behind
us and come out and play
probably our best ball game of the
year Head Coach Keith LeClair

VanSant shares
thoughts with TEC
Associate athletic
director predicts future
of success for ECU
RACY H.URR
STAFF WRITER
As the school year winds down,
TEC looked to associate athletic
director Henry VanSant for his
comments on the past year of
ECU athletics and also the future
of the program.
Q: What are some of your
comments on ECU athletics this
year?
A: Well, you know, the 1997-98
year in athletics has honestly not
been one of our better years. We
had our football season, which
was certainly not disastrous, but
with a 5-6 record, we are looking
forward to better things in the
future. Basketball�of course, we
had, you know a 10-17 year there,
which is our first losing season in
the last three years. And Coach
Dooley had two winning seasons
the two previous years and of
course in those two years won
more games than any coach had
won since the late 1950s and 60s.
We finished 2nd in Swimming,
with our women in the
conference, and last year we won
the championship. Our baseball is
struggling a little bit this year, but
they're going to be very good. We
have had a lot of good things, of
course: we've had facility
upgrades and set new records for
season ticket sales and new
records for Pirate Club members.
We do have a lot of good things
that are going on in the athletics
department and we think that the
future of ECU athletics is very
bright.
Q: What is the current
women's basketball coach status
and program predictions?
A Well, very recently we had a
resignation. Our women's
basketball coach resigned, and we
of course were certainly a little
remorseful to see that happen.
Anne Donovan was with us for
three years and we thought that
she was an outstanding coach and
certainly an outstanding person in
the sport of women's basketball,
having been a three-time
Olympian, having two Olympic
gold medals, and playing
professional basketball in both
Japan and Italy. So she really was
an outstanding coach. Coach
Donovan resigned her position as
the head coach here at East
Carolina to take a position in the
women's professional league, the
ABL, as head coach in
Philadelphia. We are, of course,
currently advertising and are
working toward filling the
position of head women's
basketball coach and we
anticipate finding a very good
person to lead that program and
get our women's basketball where
we'd like for it to be. Our goals
and ambitions for women's
basketball are to make them a
nationally competitive program.
We certainly want to get to the
point in the Colonial Athletic
Association that we are competing
for championships with the
currently dominant team, Old
Dominion.
Q: Do you have any
predictions for the 1998 football
Henry VanSant
FILE PHOTO
season?
A: Everything right now is very
optimistic. We've finished spring
practice with our football team. Of
course, Coach Logan and his staff
are very excited about the 1998
season. We
anticipate
having
another good
team. We
have had
very good
football
teams here.
We were 5-6
last year, but
of course in
the year
before that, a
very
outstanding
season. We feel like we can get
our program back to where we can
win the conference USA
championship and qualify for a
bowl game, and certainly have an
opportunity to go back to the
Liberty Bowl. We played in the
Liberty Bowl two years ago and
beat Stanford, which was a really
big feather in the athletic cap here
at East Carolina. So we feel that
next year is going to be another
good year. We have a lot of very
fine talent, had a really good
recruiting class for 1997 and
another good recruiting class in
1998. So 1 feel that football
certainly will head back to success
in 1998.
Q: What are a few comments
about the new upper deck of the
stadium?
A The upper deck is nearing
completion. We are scheduled for
final inspection on that in the
middle of May, but it is, for all
practical purposes completed.
The upper deck�of course what
they're doing right now is what
they call a punch-list, which are a
lot of minor corrections, some
water sealing, some painting, a
little bit of grinding, mostly
cosmetic work, aesthetic things,
of course little mistakes that are
made here and there, and it is, as
I said, completed except for these
few minor details. I'm very
anxious for us to get that open,
and we do plan on having some
sort of Open House up there in
the middle of the summer, maybe
June or early July. We do want to
have an Open House and let
people go up there because it's an
absolutely fine facility�8,000

SENIOR WRITER
The ECU Pirate Club provides
an opportunity for students and
fans to get the most out of ECU
athletics.
There are eight different
membership levels that start as
low as $25 for a student
membership. Student members
receive a crew level membership
for one-third the price at a $50
discount. By starting their Pirate
Club memberships early, students
can start building priority for
tickets, parking and other benefits
in the future.
A student Pirate Club member
has the opportunity to pick up
their season tickets for basketball,
football and baseball two weeks
before the season starts instead of
having to pick up their tickets for
each individual game. Crew level
members also gain from their
priority to buy bowl game and
away game tickets. Other benefits
include: 20 issues of the Pirate's
Chest newsletter, Pirate Club
bumper stickers, window decals,
membership cards and the
opportunities for away game road
trips. The Pirate Club also hosts
many social events such as
pregame socials and cookouts as
well as many opportunities for the
Pirate Club fans to meet the
coaches on a social basis.
"We need the student body
behind us Assistant Pirate Club
Director Mark Wharton said. "We
feel that across the nation a
successful athletic program is
attributed to student support
In 1997 there were 158 student
Pirate Club members and a goal
of 300 student members has been
set for 1998.
The Pirate Club plays an
astonishing role in the
scholarships handed out at ECU.
Sixty-six percent of the total
scholarships handed out each year
for athletics is donated by the
Pirate Club. In 1997, the 6,050
members donated and raised just
over $2 million. In 1998, the
Pirate Club plans to donate! 1.7
million dollars to ECU athletics
from the $2.27 million they plan
to raise.
"Any athletic program can't
succeed without the support from
the students and fans, student
Lee Pierce said. "With great
support we can continue to grow
and succeed as a great athletic
program
The Pirate Club raised another
$100,000 from the Trade Mart
Golf Classic, Pirate Club Auction
and the Great Pirate PurpleGold
Pigskin Pig-Out Party, which
were all held on Pirate Club
weekend.
After students graduate, the
Pirate Club also offers the young
alumni program for the first three
years which provides membership
at the $150 membership level for
only $25 the first year, $50 the
next and $100 the third.

Pirate Club and student Pirate
Club memberships, contact Mark

New signees look
promising for season
JIM PHELPS
STAFF WHITE
Pirate football is right around the
corner and excitement is in the
air, especially since a good group
has signed to play for the Pirates.
"We have a good, solid class
Offensive Coordinator Doug
Martin said.
All of the new recruits will be
redshirted for the 1998 season.
"We feel good about Troy
Smith, who played Larry
Shannon's position last
season and broke records,
and we have good running
backs in Jamie Wilson and
Leonard Henry
Doug Martin
Offensive Coordinator
"The only way they would
play would be if a starter was
injured Martin said.
. According to Martin, if any of
the new recruits were to see any
playing time this season it would
be at the defensive back position.
The recruiting process for
Pirate football involves the
regional area of the east coast,
from New Jersey down to
Georgia. Some visits to the
homes of prospective players are
made. All the coaches take part
in the recruiting process, and
there are four N.C. recruiting
coaches.
ECU will be playing big
name, tough teams like Alabama
and Virginia Tech this season.
"We look forward to playing
these schools Martin said.
"That's what kids come to school
for, to play big teams
The Pirates finished 4-2 in
Conference USA last season, and
with new recruits like linebacker
Ivan Butler, defensive lineman
Josiah James, and running back
Reggie Hamphill, they are well
on their way to having another
successful season.
ECU lost some great players
to graduation, but there is still a
lot of talent left on the team.
"We feel good about Troy
Smith, who played Larry
Shannon's position last season
and broke records, and we have
good running backs in Jamie
Wilson and Leonard Henry
Martin said.
The Pirates are looking
forward to taking the field in
1998 and are excited about
welcoming their new recruits to
the team.
Baseball
continued from page 16
said after Saturdays games.
This weekend the Pirates will
take on Wake Forest University
Saturday at 5:00 and then Duke
University at 4:00 both games are
at home.
"Were trying to fine tune all
our abilities and be ready to go
into the tournament playing our
best baseball. We're trying to rap
it up playing the best we can, and
go into the tournament on a
high Salargo said.
The CAA Tournament starts
May 12th and runs through the
16th in Kinston, NG.
"I think it's kind of a wide
open tournament, I think any
particular team can win. There is
not one team in the conference
that is not capable of winning the
tournament LeClair said. I
think it is going to come down to
the team that plays the best and
most consistent baseball over a
four of five day period
In Friday night's game Senior
Randy Rigsby surpassed the
career most hits record in the
bottom of the eighth inning with
his 235 hits. Also in the bottom of
the eighth as Rigsby stole second
base he ran through the ECU
mark for most stolen bases in a
season with 67. Rigsby is also just
two games away from breaking
the record for most games played
in a career. With eight stolen
bases on Friday night, the Pirates
surpassed the most stolen bases
record in a game. In Saturday's
games Conrad Clark(l-O) took
the win in the first game after
pitching two 23 innings, giving
up one hit with three K's. In the
second gamethe W wen to Travis
Thompson.

obscenities at opposing coaches.
"GericsJ coached us two years
ago Poucher said. "We sort of
fired him because of) a lack of
leadership abilities, a difference of
opinion, and because a lot of us
played with him and it didn't
work out
Poucher and his teammates
had seen Gerics behave in
manners similar to what the
Journal described.
"I wasn't there to witness the
spitting incident Poucher said,
"but I did see him strike another
player. He actually hit me when
he was playing on another team
According to Poucher, an
argument about questionable
calls escalated. Many people
"ganged up on" Gerics and were
yelling at him.
"He said he thought I was
going to hit him, which was, no
way impossible Poucher said.
The Irates had to forget what
the Journal had said and
concentrate on the regionals.
"We just tried to put the
article out of our minds
Gutowski said. "It described the
state of things and the way Mike
Gerics plays, but that shouldn't be
used as a measuring stick for the
ECU ultimate team, the Irates,
and ultimate in general
The Journal reported that
more players of ultimate frisbee
are calling for officials to be
present at more games. Ultimate
frisbee is a sport that is usually
played without officials. The only
time referees, which ultimate
players call "observers are used
are during high level tournament
games.
"I don't think there's a strong
need for observers Poucher said.
"The way ultimate's played, you
make your own calls. If the
players can't come to an
agreement, it's just, like, a do-
over
Poucher said that observers
will be at nationals.

Both players will be returning
next year and both say that ECU

"The freshmen had a lot of
experience this year Polonius
said of ECU's six first year
players. "It will be tough, but I
think we will be able to bring
home the trophy next year
Shepperson agrees that the
future looks promising for this
young team.
"I think we'll be just as good
next year, if not better
Shepperson said.

Pennington resigns as
athletic director at
UNC-Pembroke
PEMBROKE, N.C. (AP) �
Raymond Pennington announced
his retirement Saturday after 14
years as athletics director at the
University of North Carolina at
Pembroke. Pennington first
joined Pembroke as head baseball
coach in 1964 and led the Braves
to a 114-32 record, still the best
winning percentage in school
history among baseball coaches.
"Over the past five years, we
have been able to increase our
athletic scholarships; however,
there is still a lot more needed to
be done he said in a release. I
think the time is right for me to
step down and bring in new
leadership.
Pennington's retirement will
take effect July 31, and the school
says it has already formed a search
committee to find a successor.
The Greensboro, N.C, native led
the athletics program from the
National Association of
Intercollegiate Athletics level to
its current Division II status with

Ammaccapane takes
women's Masters
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.
(AP) � One of the first things
Danielle Ammaccapane did after
winning the Titleholders
Championship was to cancel her
flight home to Phoenix so she
could celebrate without feeling
rushed.
She also figured it was time to
readjust her goals.
Her confidence was so low at
the start of the season that
Ammaccapane was simply striving
to play on the weekend.
Now, she might even allow
herself a peak at the Solheim Cup.
"I'm not just trying to make
cuts anymore the golfer said
Sunday evening. "I want to go
win some golf tournaments now
If she can play the way she did
Sunday, shooting a 1-undcr 71 in
tough scoring conditions to win
the Titleholders by one stroke
over Michelle Estill, that
shouldn't be a problem.
"All I can say is, 'I'm back
said Ammaccapane, who finished
at 12-under 276.
Tied with LPGA player of the
year Annika Sorenstam and Carin
Koch, Ammaccapane scrambled
for pars early to stay in the hunt
and-then made steady pars down
the stretch to stay in the lead.
Sorenstam, still looking for her
first victory of the year, fell out of
contention with back-to-back
bogeys and was alone in third at
278.
Koch played in the last group
with Ammaccapane, and had a
chance to get within one of the
lead until she missed a short putt
for bogey on No. 16. She wound
up fourth at 279.
Ammaccapane won $150,000
from the $1 million purse and also
gets a green jacket that goes to the
winner of the Titleholders,
regarded as the women's version
of The Masters when it started in
1937 at Augusta Country Club,
next door to Augusta National.

those 8,000 people. We also have
men's and women's restrooms up
there with automatic fixtures,
hand washers, and toilets also
have automatic flushers.
Concession stands are very nice,
extremely convenient to the
seating area. We also have a
souvenir shop up there, and the
seats arc absolutely fantastic. Any
seat in the upper deck is a good
scat and makes the playing field
and the game very visibly
accessible. It's completely and
totally handicapped accessible
with fine facilities and seats for
our disabled fans. We certainly
want to encourage people with
disabilities to come to our football
games and they will have some
really first class facilities up there
and will be well taken care of. I
really think that people who visit
the upper deck and who take
advantage of sitting in the upper
deck arc going to find that it is
probably one of the finest upper
decks that you will ever go into. It
is extremely nice.
Q:What are some comments
on the new athletic facility that is
being planned?
A: We are planning a new
athletic facility which will go
between Minges Coliseum and
Dowdey- Ficklen Stadium, and it
will actually house a strength
training facility and will have a
multi-purpose room or! the
second floor which will have a
banquet hall and will serve many
purposes like conventions or
whatever. Of course it will be
used for pre-game and post-game
entertainments. It's a total of
52,000 square feet. at a cost of
slightly 10 million dollars. Dennis
Young, who is our executive
director of the Pirate Club here is
putting together right now the
campaign to go out and raise
money, and that will be built with
donations from the East Carolina
Constigency, through our Pirate
Club.We are working on that and
hope that it will be started within
the next 18 months to two years.
But that is going to be a very fine
facility and a great addition to the
campus, which will also give us
some banquet and meeting
facilities that we have not had on
this campus that will serve many
of the different components that
go to make up the university.
Q: What are some of your
predictions for ECU athletics in
the future?
A: We really feel like the future
of ECU athletics is very bright. Of
course, the younger students who
are here now really do not realize
where we have come from. But I
have been privileged to have
been on the East Carolina
University campus since 1957,
which is getting close to 41 years
now. I did have an absence which
kept me away for a few years, but
I have seen the growth and
development of East Carolina
University, and we have had so
many things that have happened
on this campus. Of course, on the
main campus there's the new
General Classroom building and
the new student recreation center
is something I think students
should be very proud of and
happy about. I use that myself. I
go over there and walk on the
. track and it's just an absolutely
fantastic facility. The new library
has been one of the big
contributors to East Carolina
University gaining Doctoral II
status. We here in athletics have
seen the development of the
Williams arena of Minges
Coliseum,the development of
Harrington Field, our baseball
field, our practice facilities,
Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium. And I
happen to have been here when
we dedicated the original Ficklen
Stadium as it was known at that
time. It was a 17,000 seat facility
and we dedicated that in 1963 in a
game against Wake Forest
University, which East Carolina
won 20-10. I have seen all these
things and now, I think it's the
third expansion of the stadium.
We have grown to really being a
major Division I athletic program
and I see this as the cause of a
very bright future. This is
basically because of our alumni
and our supporters and the large
number of people we have now in
the community and in those
surrounding ones attending our
athletic contests. They have all
done a great job and I think we
are going to continue to grow at a
very rapid rate here. East Carolina
University is going to be a major
player on the national athletic
scene.

for Deborah
British boxer in critical condition following surgery
LONDON (AP) � British boxer
Spencer Oliver was in critical
condition Sunday following brain
surgery to remove a blood clot
suffered in his European super-
bantamweight title fight against
Ukrainian Sergei Devakov.
The 22-ycar-old Oliver, who
was on a ventilator following
three-hour operation to remove
the clot, was knocked down for
the second time in the Saturday
bout in the 10th round. It was his
fourth defense of his European
title.
"The operation lasted three
hours and he is now in a critical
but stable condition in intensive
care where he is on a ventilator
said a spokesman of the National
Hospital in London.
Oliver had won his previous 14
fights and was ahead on points
when Devakov floored him with a
right hand in the fight at Royal
Albert Hall in west London.
The champion staggered back,
crashed to the floor and pulled
himself up at the nine count
before French referee Alfred
Azaro stopped the fight.
He was also knocked down in
the first round by a left hook.
Oliver, nicknamed the Omen,
was a silver medalist at the
Commonwealth Games in
Canada in 1994.
The incident comes two weeks
after fellow British boxer Chris
Eubank was treated in hospital
following his defeat in a punishing
12-round championship bout.

Seven novels, 14
volumes poetry
to credit
IMC Post Laureate to give
commencement address
Amer t�tum
STAFf WRITER
This spring's commencement address will be
given by the poet laureate of North Carolina,
Fred Chappell.
"Fred is an absolutely fascinating poet and a
charming individual said Dr. Patrick Bizzaro
of the ECU English department.
Chappell has worked as a professor at the
University of North Carolina at Creensboro
since 1964; he teaches advanced composition,
poetry and fiction. He is the author of seven
novels, 14 volumes of poetry, a book of essays
and two boob of short stories.
"We are honored that the poet laureate of
North Carolina will address our graduates
Chancellor Richard Eakin said. "Fred Chappell
is known and recognized throughout the state
and nation not only for his writing but for his
leaching and encouragement of future genera-
tions ofauthors and poets. We look'forward to
welcoming him to our campus
Bizzaro has been editing one of Chappell's
books, Dream Carden: The Poetry of Fred
Chappell, since 1987. He said that he's not sur-
prised to see all the attention Chappell has
been receiving.
"He Chappell behaves like he doesn't
deserve all the attention Bizzaro said.
Chappell also has a series out that will con-
sist of four novels when finished. The third and
most recently published book is Farewell, I'm
Bound to Leave You. It is about independent,
strong women of the Appalachian Mountains.
"Chappell gives us a collection that is bril-
liant and fanciful, contemplative and humor-

Although graduation signals the end of
classes and exams, for many students il
also signifies the beginning of the next
slep on the academic ladder: graduate
school.
For some ECU students, that means
another one or Iwo years in Creenville. 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 gradu-
ate school office located in 131 Ragsdale
and see what ECU's graduate school has
to offer.
With an enrollment of 2,815 students
The East Carolinian
including 303 pursuing Ph.D.s through
the School of Medicine, the graduate
school at ECU is
currently ranked
third in the stale
behind UNC-CH
and N.C. State
respectively. The
medical school con-
sistently places
among the top
teaching hospitals
in the country and
continues to
increase in both
enrollment and cal-
iber of instruction
as more professors
are drawn to
Creenville and ECU from all over the
country and the world.
Applications can
be picked up from
the Graduate
School office in
Ragsdale Hall or
on the Internet at
www. research, ecu.
edugrad
With
ECU offers more than 60 degrees at the
master's and post-master's level. Degrees
are offered through 10 pro-
fessional schools as well as
the School of Medicine,
which offers Ph.D.s in eight
disciplines.
According to Dr. Vm
Tscheller, associate dean of
the graduate school, the
first step in applying to the
graduate program is to talk
to the chair of the depart-
ment to which you want to
apply
"We ECU use a self-
managed application for
admission to the graduate
school Tschetter said,
self-managed application
process, the student is responsible for
gathering all requirements for admission,
including transcripts and letters of refer-
ence. It is up to the applicant to make
sure all the various pieces of the applica-
tion arrive in the graduate office by the
deadline. The deadline for regular admis-
sion is June 15 for the fall semester and
Oct. 15 for the spring semester. Some
schools such as the School of Art have ear-
lier deadlines.
Applications can be picked up from the
graduate office or downloaded off the
Internet mm
(http:www.research.ecu.edugrad).
The graduate office works with the var-
ious academic departments in choosing
qualified applicants. For each school, the
requirements differ, although all have
basic standards for admission which
include a baccalaureate degree, prefer-
ably 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 CPA of 2.5 and a
satisfactory score on the GRE are also
required.
For most programs, the admission stan-
dard is much more competitive. Students
from universities worldwide apply to pro-
grams at ECU.
"Business, Physical Therapy and
Occupational Therapy are always very
competitive Tschetter said.
"Psychology and maritime history are also
verypopular 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.

Kevin Williamson, outstanding alumnus
MICCAH SMITH
SEN 1011 UKSm.ES WHITES
Kevin Williamson, author of such wildlv successful
screenplays as Scream, Know What You Did Last
Summer and Scream , is one of the most famous
ECU alumni, and his reputation keeps growing with
each passing year
The 33-year-old New Bern native was heavily
influenced as a teenager by such movies as John
Carpenter's Halloween and John Hughes's fluffy com-
ing-of-age teen flicks like Sixteen Candles, The
Breakfast Club and Pretty in Pink.
Williamson had dreamed of becoming a writer,
perhaps even a director on the scale of Steven
Spielberg, but was discouraged by a teacher in high
school who told him he'd never make it.
Thinking he'd found his niche at the ECU School
of Acting, he attended college here before seeking his
fortune in New York City. Instead of a glamorous
career in stage and film acting, however, be only
found bit parts on stage and television.
Williamson moved to Los Angeles for a change
and found himself walking dogs for money, working
out of a temp agency and even assisting a music video
director.
It was during this time that he began working on
his first script, Killing Mrs. Tingle, a buck comedy
(think Heathers) about a determined schoolgirl and a
group of friends who wouldn't mind seeing their evil
teacher dead. He sold the script soon after its com-
pletion to an agency that never used it.
Although Killing Mrs. Tingle was not Williamson's
big break, the money he made from the script allowed
him to pay off some student loans and put down a
payment for a car.
Scream was written after a scary experience
Williamson had while house-sitting for his fnend Cil,
and he sold it to Miramax, the second-highest bidder
The movie made $103 million, reviving the languish-
ing horror genre and assuring Williamson of a Future
in show buisiness.
Miramax pounced on the successful writer, offer-
ing him to join the likes of Robert Rodriguez and
Quentin Tarandno in a three-year contract with the
film company.
Williamson had planned for Scream to be a trilogy
all along, but Scream III had been put on hold so that
he can work on several other projects.
His drama series called Damson's Creek, which
airs Tuesday nights on the WB network, is somewhat
autobiographical, with characters loosely based on
himself and the friends of his adolescence in a town
near his own hometown.
Williamson is also working on another series
based on a group of LA. Gen-Xers called Wasteland.
Both television series feature Williamson's patented
snappy dialogue which has made the teenage charac-
ters in his movies so much fun for audiences to watch.
In the future, Williamson intends to attack action
movies and romantic comedies, to put his own spin on
them much the same way he did the horror genre.
Williamson is also collaborating with Robert
Rodriguez on a sci-fi film called The Feelers, slated
for release in late 1998 or early 1999. He has written
a treatment (basic plot line) for Halloween VII and is
finally directing his first baby, Killing Mrs. Tingle.

STAFF WHITEN
ECU ranks 25th in the nation as one of
America's "most wired" colleges. The uni-
versity is the onlv public university in
North Carolina included in Yahoo! Internet
Life magazine's listings.
Rankings are based on 22 factors in
four categories � general services, acad-
emics, social life and computer statistics.
ECU moved from 93rd last year to 25th
this year, outranking Duke and Wake
Forest � the only other N.C. universities
included in the list.
"ECU continues to make great strides
in raising the information technology (IT)
bar in education said Ernest Marshburn,
director of academic computing.
"Beginning with a commitment to upgrade
the campus networking system with fiber
optics and just this year becoming the
'first' university in the nation to imple-
ment Microsoft Exchange 5.0, ECU con-
tinues to make steady progress in educa-
tional IT
Chancellor Richard Eakin attributes
ECU's technological achievements to
three main factors: the installation of a
$14 million asynchronous transfer mode
(ATM) fiber optic network, the informa-
tion-technology fee included in student
tuition and ECU's commitment to equip
faculty with up-to-date technologies
including new computers for faculty every
three years.
The ATM fiber optic network enabled
ECU to be the first university to imple-
ment Microsoft Exchange 5.0 as its cam-
pus-wide messaging system. This svstems
was chosen after an 18 month evaluation
period of five messaging systems. It
proved to be the most effective means for
nomadic user" access, providing world-
wide e-mail accessibility, attachments
capabilities
and other
assets.
Exchange
was also the
most cost
effective
plan avail-
"Beginning with a
commitment to upgrade
the campus networking
system with fiber optics
and just this year becoming
the first'university in the
nation to implement
Microsoft Exchange 5.0,
ECU continues to make
steady progress in
educational IT
Ernest Marshburn
director of academic computing
T h e
information-technology fee allows funds
exceeding $700,000 a year to be spent on
technological equipment to benefit stu-
dents.
"We want our students to graduate with
more than just 'computer literacy said
Richard Brown, vice chancellor for admin-
istration and
finance.
"Employers
look for peo-
ple who know
now to func-
tion in the
'information
age' and our
graduates are
becoming more and more attractive
because of the hands-on experience they
have gained at ECU
Marshburn said ECU is not resting with
this achievement, but will continue to
maintain the advances and recognition
earned.

Computer, engineering, medical work hot
careers: manufacturing cooling down

FOCUS SECTION WHITER
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.
According to the Occupational Outlook Handbook, computer
jobs offer the possibility of advancement, high starting salary,
benefits and personal fulfillment.
"Computer engineering and computer accounting are two
very hot careers right now, said Judy Davis, assistant creden-
tial 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 com-
puter 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 engi-
neer has the highest starting salary out there right now. In trie
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 engi-
neering 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 directly relates to graduates of ECU, according to a sur-
vey done by Career Services.
"The top four careers entered by graduates were educa-
tionnon-profit organization, health care, merchandising ser-
vices 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 competi-
tive right now. Careers such as physical and occupational ther-
apy, 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

corner of 5th Street and Jarvis Street just outside of campus.

THE
SONIC
PLAZA
Sonic Plaza nearing
completion

A new work of public art is nearing completion at
ECU. The one of a kind Sonic Plaza is targeted to
be completed by the end of May 1998.
"The North Carolina Arts Council commissioned
this project under the Artworks for Stale Buildings
Program said Bruce Flye, director of facilites ser-
vices.
It is through this program that artworks are com-
missioned for new public buildings using .05 percent
of a building's construction budget. An example of
such artwork can be seen at the Educational Budding
in Raleigh where they have a mural on the mall.
There is another such work, a sound sculpture, at the
Revenue Building.
The project artist for the Sonic Plata, Christopher
Janney, is an internationally known sound artist who
has created interactive soundarchitecture installa-
tions in Rome, Paris, Boston and New York.
Upon completion, the Sonic Plaza will consist of
four elements: the ground cloud, a media glocken-
spiel, 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

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 surprise object and
sound will be seen and beard. ECll music and art
students, along with faculty supervision, will deter-
mine the sight and sound. As you near the new
entrance into Joyner Library, there will be a 15-foot
x 40-foot percussion water wall. Within this wall will
be 64 water jets arranged to play a series of constant
