Ruffin, a Winston- Salem executive, was elected as the chairman of the UNC-Board of Governors. On July 10 Ruffin will serve a two-year term. "This service gives me a , chance to pay back what this great I state has given to me Ruffin ' said. "If tuition had not been low in North Carolina, I probably would not have been where I am now because 1 could not have afforded it. " Ruffin is a graduate of North Carolina Central University and has his master's degree in social work from UNC-Chapel Hill. He has earned honorary doctorates from three universities, and was 'formerly a special assistant to Gov. Jim Hunt. In addition to these duties, Ruffin is the chair for the corporate table of the National Black Caucus of State Legislatures. "This is an interesting turn in history said Dr. Jim Smith, exec- utive assistant to the chancellor. "In the past, the board had been accused of showing favoritism to certain campuses, mostly those with a smaller black population. One of Ruffin's tasks will be to treat those campuses who haven't been considered with equity with- in the broader circle "Ruffin was elected by his fel- low members said Jonie Worthington, head of information at the University of North Carolina. "There were no special ranks for him to go through The only requirements for one to become the chair is for the can- didate to be a member of the "In the past, the board had been accused of showing favoritism to certain campus- es, mostly those with a smaller black population. Jim Smith Eiscutive Assistant to Chancellor board. Before joining the Board of Governors in 1991, Ruffin was the vice president for corporate affairs for R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company. When he joined the board, he held a position as vice chairman for two years. In addi- tion to the titles he has held, he continues to be active in numerous other committees. Ruffin's position was deter- mined by a 16-15 vote. There was some speculation that someone changed a vote at the last minute, leading to Ruffin's victory. The granite stone marker in from of the geology building will toon be replaced by a formal sign identical to all other building signs on campus. PHOTO BY MARC CRIPPEN. THE ROCK Landmark stone, donated by alumni, unearthed after 30 years T.K. Jones NEWS EDITOR w hen geologists unearth rocks, a bit of history is excavated in the process. Campus officials received this lesson in elemental geology the day they unearthed the granite stone, a landmark for the building for nearly thirty years. Students and faculty alike balked at the mere thought of replacing the granite stone (a.k.a. "the headstone") located in front of the Graham build- ing, but university officials did not. Last Wednesday a forklift uprooted the .stone to make room for a uniform building identification sign. The uproar was not about the department having an official univer- sity sign, but that it could have been posted in another location. So why choose the very spot where a granite stone lay nearly three decades? "The site for the new sign was chosen because of its high visibility said Eugene Langford, construction and renovation design supervisor, a division of facilities services. The new sign is "part of the new signage system" on campus, replacing the small, wooden signs in front of departments with larger, eye-level signs. The stone's new location has yet to be determined. An effort has been made by the department's faculty to put the stone on the grass before the handicap ramp, but the Facilities Services declined, saying it would place the signs too close and not look "aesthetically pleasing Others have made comments of the stone itself being distasteful because it resembles a headstone more than a sign for a geology depart- ment. But because the department wanted a sign relevant to geology, they chose the granite stone.

The Office of Research, Assessment and Testing conduct- ed a telephone survey March through April among random undergraduates at ECU. The sur- vey examined important issues to students on campus and nation- wide. Also conducted in the survey were individual interviews with students to determine what level they were on in their studies. The top three issues facing stu- dents nationwide were finances, academics and future plans. But ECU students responded that aca- demics, finances and alcoholdrugs, respectively, were their main concerns. Kris Smith, director of the sur- vey, said the survey helped pin- point important issues for students. TODAY Thunderstorms high 94 low 75 TOMORROW Thunderstorms high 94 low 75 On responding to individual con- cerns, Smith said academics ranked number one in order of importance to nearly all the stu- dents. "Our students are concerned about getting an education Smith said. Other issues mentioned by stu- dents were personal time, relation- ships and time management. Even though not listed in the top three, students still showed concern about these issues. Time management included the problems students face trying to balance their school work, social lives and jobs. Of students sur- veyed, 20 percent said relation- ships were a main issue outside of the classroom. More issues students reported were problems with binge drinking and peer pressure. Also, many found campus safety, campus involvement and parking to be extra things they have to worry about. Included in these issues is the amount of conflict among stu- dents. This is brought upon by dif- ferent diversities and values, Greek organizations verses non- Greeks and raceethnicity. Even though the majority of students mentioned conflict, 20 percent found there was no con- flict whatsoever. One student said, "I think everyone gets along fine WASHINGTON (AP) Two Capitol officers cut down in a burst of gunfire will be honored Tuesday at a special ceremony at the historic building where they worked and died. Their remains will lie in the Rotunda, where the coffins of presidents and commanding generals have rested. Capitol Police Chief Gary Abrecht announced plans to memorialize the two "fallen heroes" as the suspect in the shooting, Russell E. Weston Jr lay in a hospital bed in serious condition. Coffins bearing the bodies of officers Jacob J. Chestnut and John Gibson were in the Capitol Rotunda early Tuesday and remained there all day. President Clinton, Vice President Al Gore, House Speaker Newt Gingrich and Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott all were scheduled to attend the event, officials said. Clinton spoke by telephone Sunday to Chesnut's widow, but was not able to make con- tact with Gibson's widow, said officials traveling with the president in New Mexico. They said he also spoke with 24-year-old Angela Dickerson, a Virginia woman who was wounded and hospital- ized overnight Friday before returning to her home on Saturday. Abrecht said Gibson, 42, a native of Waltham, Mass will be buried Thursday at a location to be announced. Chestnut, 58 and an Air Force veteran, will be interred the following day at Arlington National Cemetery. The two Capitol police officers died of the wounds when the gunman, a loner with a history of mental illness, burst into the Capitol Friday afternoon and opened fire with a .38-caliber hand- gun. The condition of Weston, 41, from Rimini, Mont was upgraded from critical to serious during the day. "His cardiac status has improved said D.C. General Hospital spokeswoman Donna Lewis Johnson. Weston was shot in the chest, arms, thigh and but- tocks and brought down in a furious exchange of gunfire with Gibson. Authorities arranged a hearing in absentia for Weston on Monday in feder- al court, a few blocks from the Capitol. Papers filed in court in the District of Columbia on Saturday charged him with killing the two officers; the purpose of Monday's hearing was to bring the case into federal court. While events were set in motion to honor the fallen�and bring the suspect to justice� tourists roamed the Capitol by the hundreds, some pausing before a pile of flowers that has grown on the steps outside in tribute to Gibson and Chestnut. Tourists pay their respects to the the officers slain in the unexpected shooting Friday. PHOTO BV TK JONES "It's awful that it happened said John Kurzawa, a 16-ycar-old from Northford, Conn, who was touring with his family. "I wish it had- n't happened. I hope as a nation we can get over it The repercussions were already setting in, though, from the grief of the families to the shaken colleagues of Chestnut and Gibson who SEE SHOOTIM.

Green dye gives scare Chemical spill no cause for alarm Christopher Scott staff whiter When Dr. Jack Thorton saw green water under Tenth Street and flooding Rock Springs Road on Friday afternoon, he sprang into action. Thorton feared the worst when he spotted a green liquid seeping from the sewer on Tenth Street and decided to alert the authori- ties. When Thorton, a faculty mem- ber in the school of business, traced the water back to the Howell Science Complex, he thought it might be a chemical spill and notified Bill Koch, head of Environmental Health and Public Safety, and Michael Campbell with the grounds department to investigate the discolored water. After the initial investigation, their answer became clear. "The basis of the discolored water is a non-toxic, organic dye, used to trace the leaks in pipes where water flows through Koch said. "This dye is sanctioned by the National Sanitation Foundation which approves the safety of equipment and materials used in dining facilities During an inspection of the drains in the southern part of the Rawl Building, the grounds depart- ment used the dye to test the reli- Shooting continued from page 1 were being offered counseling, to talk ofenhanced security at a build- ing prized for openness. Among the options was revived talk of construction of a Capitol vis- itors center, possibly underground, that could serve as a way station for tourists as well as provide for greater security. Still, Abrccht, chief of the Capitol police, said there was little that could have been done in the way of security to prevent Wcston's attack that would have been acceptable to members of Congress and the public. "He was prepared to go in there and die and take anybody with him Abrccht said on CNN's Late Rock continued from page 1 headstones said Dr. Scott Snyder, professor of geology. The stone was purchased with alumni dollars to replace a similar stone sign that had maintained the same area from the 60's until it was stolen in 1995. The spot lay vacant for several months before the new stone took its place. The new stone is theft-proof with rods pro- truding from it. The Facility Services Department worked with the Geology Department in mounting and securing the new stone. "That's what the irony is said Snyder. "We worked with the grounds department (a division of Facilities Services) to put it in there (that location) Edition. "He never got more than 20 feet inside the building The chief said the slain officers and others who rushed to the scene "were heroic in every way Officials have said Chestnut tried to stop Weston when he burst past the metal detector at a first- floor entrance to the building Friday afternoon. Chestnut was shot in the head. A second officer who had gone to get a wheelchair for a tourist then fired at Weston, who ran around the comer and opened the private door leading to a suite of offices occupied by the House Republican Whip, Rep. Tom DeLay of Texas. Gibson, assigned to protect DeLay, shouted at numerous peo- ability of the pipes and rout out the leaking ones. "The dye is usually diluted to an unnoticeable level, but the drain in Rawl had backed up and the flow of water was not strong enough to dilute the dye Campbell said. "The drain was old and filled with vegetation and debris The drain is scheduled to be fixed. The grounds department is waiting for a certain part of the draining system to arrive that needs to be replaced. "The best part about something like this is the good response we receive from the campus commu- nity Koch said. "By contacting the correct authorities, this discol- orization was checked out quickly and efficiently pie in the suite to take cover and exchanged gunfire at short range with the gunman. Both officer and gunman fell, Gibson mortally wounded. In a series of meetings Sunday, congressional officials were in touch with the survivors of the two men as they attempted to work out the details of several days of obser- vances. Numerous high-ranking govern- ment officials have lain in state in the Rotunda since Abraham Lincoln's casket was brought there in 1865. Others similarly honored include Presidents John F.

Ask them which building houses the geology department and they'll say, "Why, it's the one with the rock in front of it The rock we're referring to is the large, polished, granite stone with "Geology" engraved on it that, until recently, sat in front of the Graham building. Last Wednesday, the stone was removed in favor of a uniform build- ing identification sign like those in front of Austin or the General Classroom Building. While we are not opposed to having official university signs to identi- fy buildings, why did they have to remove a campus landmark? Why couldn't the university put the new sign on the other side of the building? Is the new sign even necessary? The stone was chosen by the geology department because they wanted a sign that was relevant to their department. What better way to identify the geology building than to have a large granite stone out front? Most students taking a geology class for the first time may not know where the Graham building is, but are pretty sure that their class is in the building with the rock on the outside. A stone identifying the geology department has been in place since the 1960's. Over the years it has become a treasured part of ECU. The stone is so beloved that when the original was stolen in 1995, the school's alumni paid for a replacement. Besides being a waste of time and money, removal of the stone is an insult to faculty, students and alumni � especially to those in the geol- ogy department. It's hard to believe a school that raised money to restore an old cupola on a part of campus that most people don't even go to would spend money to remove a cherished gift donated by the alumni, at the cen- ter of campus activity. In addition to identifying the geology department, the stone became useful when giving directions to visitors, orientation students and opinion! Columnist Britt H0NEYCUTT Go for the mutts These stinky little shitzus and such aren't guaranteed for anything but crapping on the floor and biting your ankle. I am in love. His name is Pepe. His ass smells and he has bugs living in his ears, but we're working on that. He moved in with me recently and everything is wonderful. We met in the swamp beside my parents' house on Friday. It was love at first sight. Found creatures are the best kind. It is beyond my comprehension why people are willing to spend so much money on an inbred animal when there are tons of perfectly good ones with diverse genetics right there in the swamp beside your house. Or even if you don't have a swamp Everybody does have a swamp, right? Remember the kid in high school whose parents were first cousins? Nobody would even invite him to a party, much less let him live in their house. The extra head may have had a little some- thing to do with that, but inbred animals are much the same. The very people who made fun of poor Billy's mom and dad for hooking up at a family reunion make pup- pies do their mommies all the time in the name of "pure lines Every animal I've ever loved was a mutt, and they've never done me wrong. Well, there was Pork Chop, the Yorkshire terrier. He was so butt-stupid that all the other dogs made fun of him until it drove him to cross dress and he began to delve into the frightening world of underground doggy transvestism. Let's not talk about Pork Chop. I have, however, been wronged by countless rottweillers, dober- mans and dalmations � the latter of which bit me smack in the ass for no apparent reason. It seems that dalmations sit around thinking about how good a nice big hunk of human hiney would be. I still have the scars. And the money you pay! As if vet bills, pet food, toys and acces- sories weren't expensive enough alone. Then people spend unneccesary hundreds simply to own a slip of paper stating that your dog or cat is an inbred idiot. These animals are far more prone to birth defects and mean personalities in general (i.e. the aforementioned dalmatian), and yet everybody wants one! But then, I guess the same reasoning applies to the pop- ularity of the Spice Girls. It sickens me to see someone pay upwards of $300 for a sickly, rotten, certified animal when there are so many sweet furry things waiting for someone to save them at the humane society, the pound and swamps all over the area you know, maybe Pepe is alone in his swamp cat status. Okay, forget about the swamp. There are millions of starving, homeless animals who would much rather come live with you than be put to sleep. Give your local kennel a chance. These animals will be so grateful that you saved them from certain destruction that you're guaranteed an affection, loyal pet. These stinky little shitzus and such aren't guaranteed for anything but crapping on the floor and biting your ankle. Y (i fl I i'f; 5fe�. � sn was OPINION Columnist Jeff BERGMAN To sue or not to sue The question I have is how long will the appeals process take � six months, a year, two years? During that time the patient is waiting they could be suffering in extreme pain. Thanks to federal law the patient will have little recourse. To sue or not to sue, that is the debate. The House of Representatives has passed a bill that would allow people to appeal their Health Maintenance Organization's (HMO) decisions about the care received. Most Republicans in the House did not want to add a provision that would have allowed patients to sue their HMO. Republicans, recipients of cam- paign donations from HMO lobby- ists, were afraid of losing these con- tributions. Without this money, they could not make those cool commercials that say they are fight- ing for you against big business. The health industry has a huge lobby inside the beltline. Witness the 1994 advertising blitz brought by them upon the 1994 Clinton Health Care Reform. The public's dismay at the treatment they are receiving is the only reason any- thing is being done. It is an election year and politicians have to show interest in the people. The majority in the House did not want to add a provision that would allow patients to sue. The right-wing party is concerned with frivolous lawsuits. Republicans tend to think all lawsuits against big corporations are unneeded. They are probably right; Ford did nothing wrong when the Pinto went into production, and the cigarette com- panies did not mislead the public at all. Newt and the Gang are correct when they assume that some peo- ple will take advantage of the abili- ty to sue. What the collective intel- ligence of the Republican party fails to consider is that the HMO's will take advantage of patients if they cannot sue. The Republican's bill did have provisions for patients to appeal. Having the ability to appeal is nec- essary to protect the public's health and well-being. The question I have is how long will the appeals process take � six months, a year, two years? During that time the patient is waiting they could be suf- fering in extreme pain.

The federal government should impose stiff prison terms upon the people within the HMO empire. Fines are already in place but what is a couple of hundred grand to a billion dollar industry? People want criminals behind bars and what is more criminal than making a person wait for treatment because the company deemed it too expensive? This is akin to torture. ; OPINIOI Columnist Stephen KLEINSCHMIT Enjoy the rest of summer In the fall, we will welcome back all our friends who have spent the summer embar- rassing themselves as bag boys at the local Piggly Wiggly and have them blow their savings on one night downtown. Well, lets see what did we learn this summer? Money means power, I promised myself that I wouldn't put my two cents in on this one, but it has come to this. In ECU's attempt to get more money to get more football players who can read AND write, ECU has devoted 60 percent of the $7 mil- lion that will be eventually re- extorted out of the students by Pepsi to athletics. Around cam- pus, opinions are pretty critical of this decision, ranging from slighdy less apathetic than usual to sporadic cursing. It seems that the only way we will be able to get coke on cam- pus is in it's purified white, pow- dered form. Freshman orientation was fun. Don't deny it. Those little boys and girls are so awestruck by us that they would shack up with a hobo as long as they had an ECU shirt on. Besides, we really didn't have any- thing else to do on a Wednesday night like study. We went to the Elbo to create an atmosphere of diversity, in stark opposition to the usual local rednecks, rugby players and Marines who frequent the. place. The fourth of July gave us once again another reason to drink and set off unsafe Chinese pyrotech- nics. Don't get me wrong; I love the things. I was just a little peeved, when I had some kids who live in, my rapidly aging apartment com- plex shooting bottle rockets at my truck. These kids are probably the same ones who will end up in jail in, about eight years after they hold up The Pantry so that they can get enough money to buy one book at, Dowdy Student Stores. All in all, it's been a pretty good summer. In the fall, we will wel- come back all our friends who have spent the summer embarrassing themselves as bag boys at the local Piggly Wiggly and have them blow their savings on one night down- town. We better enjoy this little break we have a lot of tough par- tying ahead next semester. "If I open my mouth to speak, must I always be correct, and by whose standard?"

As retro movements go, swing dancing is huge. The high-energy jitterbug style first tweaked interest in 1993 when Disney released "Swing Kids about German youth in the 1930s whose love of American swing made them targets of the Nazis. The 19 movie "Swingers about single life in Los Angeles, furthered swing's popularity. It became an official phenomenon with The Gap's recent U.S. TV ad featuring young cou- ples doing a raucous Lindy Hop to Louis Prima's "Jump Jive an' Wail Big band swing is embraced by all ages, espe- cially - and most surprisingly - by under-30s. Swing kids don't see much romanticism in a mosh pit. "Dancing with a partner was such a thing of the past. With this, you can just go up to any- body. There's no obligation. There's no pres- sure. It's like, "Hey, let's just dance said Craig Lozowick, 25, decked out in pin- stripe suit, skinny tie, slicked-back hair and sideburns. "Everyone in our generation danced separately until this. It has so much energy said his dancing partner, Stacy Wyllys, looking elegant in old-style glasses and a 1940s pink dress bought at a vintage clothing shop. Soon the duo, moving in triple time, is on the dance floor at Man Ray's, a South Florida club learning like many other places that swing pays. Nearly 300 peo- ple were dancing on a recent night. Swing is everywhere, from The Masquerade in Atlanta to The Spanish Ballroom in Washington, D.C where the 16-piece Tom Cunningham Orchestra performs. It's at The Supper Club in New York City, The Derby in Los Angeles, and Cafe du Nord in San Francisco. The West Coast neo-swing movement can be traced to bands like Royal Crown Revue, which started mixing in swing with its punk- influenced ska nearly a decade ago. F'ormer rocker Brian Sctzer of the now-defunct Stray Cats is a current swing guitarist who got his roots in rockabilly. "What a lot of the swing people are playing right now is jump blues, like Louis Prima or Louis Jordan said Steve Perry, lead singer of the Cherry Poppin' Daddies. "Real swing is more like Fletcher Henderson, Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman and Glenn Miller. That's what we play And, of course, MTV motored the trend when the network put the Cherry Poppin' Daddies' "Zoot Suit Riot" in the rotation and the song became an alternative hit. "The zoot suiters were considered the punk rockers of their age because they were very out- rageously dressed said Perry, whose band Even chinos can swing. PHOTO COURTESY OF THE GAP HOMEPAGE came out of the grunge scene in the Pacific Northwest. The eight-piece band isn't the only one mak- ing the scene. There's the jump sound of Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, the Western bent of Big Sandy and his Fly-rite Boys or the Dixieland stylings of Squirrel Nut Zippers, who really scored the first neo- swing hit with "Hell Many of the big-horn bands dress in natty 1940s attire. Songs about gambling and alcohol, like the Voodoo Daddy's "You and Me and Bottle Makes 3 feeds into that day-after-prohibition- ended feeling of the music. Then there's the dancing. Swing is mainly an American invention, evolving out of ragtime and jazz dancing in the 1930s and '40s. Unlike a tango or a waltz, swing is more improvisational and comes in many styles: jive, jitterbug, Lindy, push, whip, shag, East Coast swing, West Coast swing, imperial, Jamaican and Bop. "When soldiers from World War II came with the Service to the major port cities of New York and Chicago, they would see swing and take it back home to Oklahoma, Carolina, Los Angeles an it would mutate said Randy Atlas, president: of the" South Florida Swing Dance Association. That's why in California there's West Coast swing. In Texas it's called push and in the Carolinas it's shag. Each is a slightly different take on swing, kind of like a regional accent. The 1990s resurgence of swing is grounded in the '30s music of Benny Goodman and Glenn Squirrel Nut Zippers kick it East Coast style PHOTO COURTESY OF S0UIRREE NUT ZIPPERS HOMEPAGE Miller, and the jump swing of artists like Louis Prima. "The Lindy Hop or the jitterbug, that's what "Dancing with a partner was such a thing of the past. With this, you can just go up to anybody. There's no obligation. There's no pressure. It's like, Hey, let's just dance Craig Lozowick Swing Enthusiast the swing kids are doing now Atlas said. Modern swing bands play all types of old- time swing, but swing dancing cati be done to all types of music from 70s disco (the Hustle was a form of swing) to Sheryl Crow. "When the dancers hear music in shuffle time, that's 110 to 125 per minute, they are just as happy as hogs in mud Atlas said. Many new converts say ithey became inter- ested in swing after the movie "Swingers in which a guy finally meets a girl thanks to know- ing how to dance to the house band, which hap- pens to be Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. The Gap ad also piqued interest. "We've gotten an overwhelming response. We've received phone calls, letters and e-mails from people saying they were going to go out and take some swing lessons Gap spokes- woman Rebecca Weill said from the company's San Francisco headquarters. The ad brought Brian Tindell and Daminica Landimarino to Man Ray's. She couldn't get over the swing fashion. "Next week I'm bringing my skirt. Forget these pants. Wearing skirts and dresses, you just feel free the 31-year-old nurse said. Tindell, an engineer, said swing is helping him finally understand his folks.

All the sagging mohawks and drooping tat- toos All the sneering, "aren't you old enough to know better" attitude Sometimes I just have to shake my head. It's one of the sad facts of life here at the end of the century that the original punks are now pushing 40. These guys have been mad at the world for a long time now, and I can respect that, but when half of your concert Jbantcr begins "Back in my day you have a problem. But some of the punks have aged gracefully. The Ramones' mop-topped, leather jacket look has served them well, and the Sex Pistols' John Lydon has really managed to ease into middle age with style. Lydon's kept his perspective with an acid sense of humor (always a good thing to be armed with), but the Ramones seem to have survived primarily because they just weren't as pissed off as everyone else. They formed their band in the first place The Ramones, the real "backstreet boys. PHOTO COURTESY OF SIRE RECORDS because they were just bored with '70s arena rock and want- ed to get things jumping again. They were entertainment rebels, not political ones, so they lasted longer than their contemporaries. As I find myself becoming an aging punk (not as old as the first wave, but still pushing 30 any day now), I find the Ramones an inspirational example. I don't have it in me to be as angry as I was 10 years ago, but I can still keep sticking it to The Man by refusing to give in to what the entertain- ment industry feeds me. Why waste money on the latest big Hollywood schlock? It's only going to be moderate- ly entertaining. Why buy an album from an artist whose popularity seems mainly based on how much MTV airtime he got? Godzilla is a perfect example of the attitude I'm talking about. Millions of people went to see this movie, and why? Because it got a lot of hype. It was all over TV and radio and even major magazines. You could- n't be wired into American society and not have heard about it. rAnd because everybody has heard about it ad nauseum for weeks before its debut, millions N of people went to sec it. People ifc- who have never seen a Godzilla movie before in their lives went to see it. People who hate mon- ster movies went to see it. And all because of an ad campaign. In the music industry, this trend is even worse. It's very sel- dom that a band breaks into widespread popularity through genuine fan support these days. No, the way the music industry works is much different and more insidious. The record company will find an act with a sound they can "Me want my MTV PHOTO COURTESY OF UNIVERSAL PICTURES mold, or better yet, they'll create one. They'll have company songwriters concoct music for this group to perform that's written according to charts and formulae designed to maximize its popularity based on what's been popular in the recent past. Then they'll give the group a "look also based on recently popular trends, film a video designed to look just like all the other videos out there (that whole washed-out "Losing My Religion'TOne" look) and push like crazy to get it into heavy rotation on MTV. Appropriate pockets are greased along the way, of course, and eventually all the right people are telling us we should look like this. And thus the Backstreet Boys are born. Why do we put up with this? Or, more accu- rately, why do we settle for this? Why don't we grow a backbone, or a brain, and decide what we like for ourselves? I mean, I know people are busy and don't want to be bothered, but this dri- ves me mad. Maybe it's time for all of us to take a cue from the Ramones and become just a little punk rock. If nothing else, it'll give us some- body to take our frustrations out on who really deserve it Cat man gets his due This is the column where we focus on the stuff we miss and the stuff you missed.

R0CKABIUY HOMEPAGE the Bop "Wear My Ring" and "Lotta Lovin Razor and Tie released a great- est hits compilation of Vincent's work last year, The Streaming End: The Best of Gene Vincent and His Blue Caps. Though called "The Best of the songs on the 20-track com- pilation were recorded in 1956 or 1957. So, technical- ly, the compilation only features the best of two years of Vincent's career, but I've heard songs he recorded after 1957 and rarely does the music hit you as hard as these early songs do. The gut-grabbing raw splendor of the early songs can largely be attributed to the Blue Caps: Cliff Gallup (lead gui- tar), Willie Williams (rhythm gui- tar), Jack Neal (upright bass) and Dickie Harrell (drums). They hooped and hollered and mauled their way through songs like "Who Slapped John "Bluejean Bop "Jumps, Giggles & Shouts" and "Woman Love On The Screaminf.nd, Gene and the Blue Caps sound like they're hammered on cheap hooch and ready to brawl. Listen to the thumping "Cat Man" and it sounds like Vincent is going to jump right out of the jukebox and get a Id of any teenage daughter he can find. The picture of Vincent on the cover of The Screaming End helps make it a little clearer why Billy Graham was proclaiming rock-n- roll the devil's music. Vincent's greasy hair is wild, his eyes far- away and crazed. His legs are fixed at an odd angle (like Kevin Spacey's character in the Usual Suspects) due to a 1955 motorcycle accident that shattered his left leg. He looks like a deranged juvenile delinquent. At that moment, he was the epitome of unkempt, unfil- tered, unscrewed-with rock-n-roll. Vincent was only 36 when he died in 1971 from a ruptured stom- ach ulcer caused from drinking too damn much during a painful life that never got as far as it should have. Thankfully, the Rock 'N' Roll Hall of Fame saw fit to include him. He belongs there. He's influ- enced scores of musician, and most importantly, he's one bad cat. The wild man from Norfolk could have been king. Let's just be thankful it wasn't Pat Boone. ra W in This is not a rant. The goal: to write complete sentences and hopefully to make some sort of point, fust another ass with an opinion Female musicians are people, too ArgfilFm a musician, not yer little sis! Miccah Smith Assistant Lifestyle Editor It's obvious to most of America that girls know how to rock. The '90s have been a unique opportu- nity for women to be noticed and appreciated for their musical abili- ties. Bjork, Tori Amos and PJ Harvey happen to top my personal list of femme fatales in rock, but even scores of no-talent hacks like Paula Cole and the mediocre Lilith Fair posse are making a quick buck on the growing trend toward appreciation of female artists. In the real world of college gigs and bands, however, female song- writers are often perceived as infe- rior. Female guitarists like myself find it hard to connect with male guitarists, even if it's just to jam casually. - I'll meet some guy and discover that the guitar is our common ground, set up a jam session and bring my gear, all ready and eager to exchange ideas. The loser guy will then proceed to pick out an agonizingly mangled Dave Matthews cover ("Wait a sec I think the chords go like this ) much to my boredom and chagrin. Then I'll mention how I like a particular style or group, and he'll shake his head ("Sorry, man. I don't know any U2. And what's classic rock?"). Then he'll make me listen to the opening riff from some Nirvana song. I rarely get a chance to play, and I usually don't get to finish my songs, because I'm so busy trying to be polite by stopping the moment he looks a little less-than- thrilied. Then he'll have the nerve to suggest some music I ought to lis- ten to, as if he's taking me under his wing. Like I need a wiser, older brother or something. I'm sure all the musically talent- ed dudes on campus salivate over Jewel and have Alanis Morissette posters plastered to their walls, but they need to pay attention to the chicks next door. We've got fan- tasies of stardom and talent just like they do, and I, for one, don't enjoy being patronized and ignored. In case any of you musician guys are reading, I'm quite sure I know what I'm doing, and all I want is to be treated like an equal. I'd like to share ideas with you. If I wanted your advice, I'd ask for it. And I'm sure my female contem- poraries would agree.

Conference champs Southern Miss top list Travis Barklev SPORTS EDITOR The Golden Eagles of Southern Miss have been chosen by the head coaches of Conference USA to repeat as conference champions, with ECU not far behind. The annual preseason poll of the league's football coaches was released last week. ECU and Tulane tied for the second spot, with Cincinnati in the fourth position and Houston picked fifth. Memphis was picked sixth, Louisville seventh and C-USA new- comer Army round- ed out the rankings at eight. The champion of C-USA will be the L- host team of the Liberty Bowl in Memphis, on December 31. Southern Miss has won the first two C-USA titles, sharing the crown with Houston in 1996 and winning last year. They went on to demolish Pittsburgh in last year's Liberty Bowl 41-7. Southern Miss placed three players on the preseason all-confer- ence team, including projected defensive player of the year, defen- sive lineman Adalius Thomas. ECU was picked to win C-USA in last year's poll, but got off to a slow start, dropping their First two conference games. The Pirates won their next four to finish third in the conference, their first in C-USA. ECU also placed three players on the all-confer- ence team: cen- ter Danny Moore, along with lineback- ers Roderick Coleman and Jeff Kerr. Tulane was the surprise of the conference last year, finish- ing second after being picked by the coaches to finish last. Tulane placed a �' league-high eight players on the all-conference team: three on offense, three on defense and two on special teams. SEE PIRATES.

Pirate fans will be able to enjoy home games from the new vantage point this season. So what will the upper deck do for ticket sales? Not much-at least not this season anyway. Ticket Office Manager Brenda Edwards doesn't expect much of a change in season ticket sales this year. "We're hoping maybe next year that sales will pick up there Edwards said. Season ticket sales are projected to reach about 14,000; nearly the same as last year. ECU football's first game will take place on Sept. 5 at Virginia Tech. It is possible for students to buy tick- ets to the game through ECU. The ticket office will have tickets for the next two to three weeks at a price of $27. At home games, students will continue to sit in the designated area in the lower deck. There will also be two student sections in the upper deck if they are needed. The ECU ticket office is expecting several home fames to produce major ticket sales. "We really foresee the Army game to be a real big turnout, and then, of course, homecoming is always a &ood turnout Edwards said. The Army game will be October 3. This season is Army's first in Conference USA. ECU last faced Army m 1995, beating the Cadets on their home field 31-25. This year's homecoming game will be the following week, October 10, against University of Alabama- Birmingham. UAB is slated to join C-USA in 1999. For now the ticket office remains a couple of hun- dred sales ahead of last year at this time. Students and other fans can call the office to buy tickets for the Virginia Tech game or to purchase season tickets. The new upper deck may not produce immediate yields in ticket sales, but it is expected to play a large role in the future of ECU athletics. As Pirate football grows and gains national respect, this upper deck will support the growing number of spectators.

On July 22, Shannon, a former Pirate wide receiver, signed a three-year contract with the Miami Dolphins, who drafted the ECU product in the third round of last April's draft. During that morning's practice, Shannon fell and injured his right knee. Shannon suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament. After swelling around the knee subsided, an MRI revealed that Shannon will need surgery. "Larry has talent; there's no doubt about it Head Coach Jimmy Johnson said. "I .think he's going to play for us. Unfortunately it doesn't look like it's going to be this year Shannon's injury is similar to the one Yatil Green suffered last year. Green, a wide receiver from the the University of Miami, was the Dolphins' number one draft pick in 1997. Green tore his ACL during his first practice with the Dolphins last year and missed all of last season. Green's injury last year was one of three serious knee injuries that the Dolphins endured during training camp. Shannon is already the second Dolphin to be lost for the year. Earlier last week, offen- sive lineman Randy Wheeler was paralyzed when his truck flipped over and hit a tree. Shannon led the nation in yards per catch as a junior in 19. Shannon bat- tled ankle injuries most of last season, missing the first four games. Finally healthy, the Dolphins felt that Shannon would be able to con- tribute immediately. His size and speed were thought to make him the deep threat the Dolphins lacked last season. By drafting Shannon, Miami reunited him with former ECU Former Pirate receiver Larry Shannon tore his ACL during his first NFL practice and will likely miss his entire rookie season.

ECU alum receives athletic training award Gatorade honors Barnes with Ttm Kerin Award Patrick Giovinazzo staff writer An ECU graduate is being honored for his outstanding achievements in the athletic training world. Ronnie Barnes, head athletic trainer for the New York Giants, has become the fifth recipient of the Tim Kerin Award for Excellence in Athletic Training. Barnes received his award during the recent 49th Annual Meeting and Clinical Symposia of the National Athletic Trainers' Association (NATA). This accolade, sponsored by the Gatorade Company, annually honors a trainer who embodies the characteristics of the late Tim Kerin. Kerin is specifically remembered for his dedication, integrity and service to the athletic training profes- sion. "Tim Kerin contributed greatly to the I profession of athletic training and will not be soon forgotten Barnes said. "I am proud to accept this award in honor of him Back in 1974, ECU presented Barnes with his bachelor of science degree, and he went on to earn his master of science from Michigan State University in 1979. Since then, Barnes has spent much of his time advancing the profession of athletic train- ing. He has served on several NATA com- mittees, including the Minority Athletic Trainers' Committee. Barnes is currently the president of the "Ttm Kerin contributed greatly to the profession of athletic training and will not be soon forgotten.

(AP) � New England Patriots tight end Ben Coates pleaded innocent to domestic abuse charges this morn- ing in Wrentham District Court Coates, 28, was arrested at his Franklin home Sunday night for allegedly beating a girlfriend, police said. Jennifer Marshall, 27, of Norton, was treated and released from the hospital, Franklin police said. "He is absolutely innocent said defense lawyer Peter Barlow. Coates, free on $500 bail, declined to speak to reporters after his arraignment. It was unclear whether the 6-foot-5-inch, 245- pound player would attend training camp later in the day. It was also not clear whether Marshall was Coates' current girl- friend. A police report said she went to his home because she sus- pected he was having an affair and spotted an unknown car in his dri- veway. Coates allegedly became enraged and began arguing with Marshall, the report said. Coates then allegedly shoved Marshall several times, slammed her against the hood of a car and said, "I'll knock you out accord- ing to a statement she gave to police. Coates told police he pushed Marshall to defend himself. He said they were not dating anymore. Patriots spokesman Don Lowery attended the court appear- ance and said coach Pete Carroll would address reporters at a previ- ously scheduled news conference later in the morning at the team's training camp in Smithfield, R.I. Coates, who earned All-Pro recognition in each of his last two seasons and was selected to the Pro Bowl in each of his last four sea- sons, is the highest paid tight end in the NFL. In 1994, he set a new NFL record for receptions by a tight end with 96. He is heading into his eighth season with the Patriots. 3fans killed, 6 injured in Michigan auto race BROOKLYN, Mich. (AP) Hardly anyone watching the roaring spec- tacle of the U.S. 500 auto race noticed an unusual speeding object � a flying tire. The tire had flown from a car driven into a wall by an out-of-con- trol driver Sunday. It bounded high off the top of the fence protecting A PREFERRED WOMEN'S HEALTH CENTER Abortions to 20 weeks Licensed & NAF Certified Private Doctor's Office Special Reduced Rate Plans Anesthesia Available Nitrous Oxide & Vallum One visit procedures Same Day Appointments All Major Credit cards Insurance Filed Confidential ft Experienced Caring Professional Call Toll Free 1-888-562-7415 Mon - Sat 8 am - 8 pm the fans from the track slammed down in the crowd and bounced further up the grandstand into another knot of fans at Michigan Speedway. Three people were killed and six people were injured. No specta- tors had died in an accident in a major U.S. auto race in more than a decade. "Just for a split second, out of the corner of my eye, I caught what looked like something flying spectator Mark Kuyers said. "I think the people that got hit didn't even see it coming. It was com- pletely a freak thing. The tire bounced a couple of times and landed in the walkway Killed were Michael Terry Tautkus, 49, and Sheryl Ann Laster, 40, of Milan, Mich; and Kenneth Dale Fox, 38, of Lansing. Dr. Gregory Baumann, the chief medical director at Michigan Speedway, said two of the people died instantly from the impact of the debris. The third person was taken to a track medical unit, where resuscitation failed. The accident occurred after dri- ver Adrian Fernandez lost control of his car while traveling at least 200 mph and slammed into a con- crete wall. The tire and debris cleared the wall and a fence before striking the spectators. "The wall is four feet above the track surface and there's 11 feet of fence and cable explained Greg Penske, president of Penske Motorsports Inc which owns the track. "So there's 15 feet from the track surface to the top of the fence. One of the victims was in row eight and another was in approximately row 10 Tim VanderMel, of Waynesville, N.C was one of the spectators who saw the tire coming. "I was watching (the tire) come toward the stands and, as people saw it coming down, they just start- ed scrambling. It was almost like it was in slow motion he said. None of the six injuries was more serious than a fractured leg, and four of the people were treated at a hospital and released. Two oth- ers were in stable condition. The race went on, with most of the 50,000 spectators unaware of the tragedy. Few of the teams or drivers knew about the deaths either, including Fernandez, who sustained bruises to both knees. Pirates continued from page 6 Green Wave quarterback Shaun King was picked by the coaches to repeat as offensive player of the year. Cincinnati safety Tinker Keck made the team as a defensive back and as a return specialist. Keck was Races are rarely halted unless then; is a dangerous situation on the track The crowd was on its feet and cheering when Greg Moore made the last of a record-breaking 62 lead changes on the final lap for the vic- tory. "People came here to watch us race and put on a good show, which we did today Moore said. "But that tragedy definitely puts a damper on it" The deaths marked the first fatalities at a Championship Auto Racing Teams event or any other major oval track race in the United States since the 1967 Indy 500, when a tire came off a car and was struck by another car, sending it into the top row of the grandstand and killing a fan. They were also the first specta- tor fatalities at the Michigan Speedway since 1969, when one fan was killed during a Trans-Am race on the road course. Rookie needs camp, coach says FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) Andre Wadsworth believes he knows the Arizona Cardinals defense well enough to offset the practices missed during his holdout. His coach calls that kind of self-confi- dence misplaced. "To me, he's behind simply by missing the first day, and that will never change, and he won't catch up coach Vlnce Tobin said Monday. "The more he misses, the further behind he's going to get. Whether he can play effectively when he gets here, I think, depends on him, but he's behind Wadsworth, a defensive end from Florida State and the third player drafted last April, has missed the first five days of training camp. The Cardinals hoped the talks would accelerate this week because quarterback Ryan Leaf, the No. 2 pick overall, agreed to a $31.25 million, five-year contract with San Diego over the weekend. But Tobin wasn't aware of any progress. Bob Ferguson, Arizona's vice president of player personnel, and Eugene Parker, Wadsworth's agent, did not return calls to their offices. also named to repeat as special teams player of the year. Offensive lineman Brian Uhl joins Keck as the only other Cincinnati player on the all-conference squad. Louisville placed three players on the team. They are led by tight end Ibn Green, who led all' Division 1-A tight ends in recep- tions last season. Houston, Memphis and Army are represent- ed on the team by one player a piece.
