SEPTEMBER 3 ,1998 VOLUME 74, ISSUE 04 ESC hears DeMarco case for first time Math DeMarco camp speaks of loaded employee file IK Sweat beads surfaced on the fore- heads of everyone present at a hear- ing Tuesday when an appeals refer- ee from the Employment Securities Commission (ESC) listened to reasons both why and why not tenured professor Dr. Sal DeMarco should receive unemployment checks. As if the castigations and mordantly posed questions weren't already enough to heat the ESC boardroom, the malfunc- tion in the air condition- ing unit - and the thought of recon- vening at a later date � was. DeMarco and his attorney, Alan McSurcly, met with Dr. Richard Eakin, chancellor of ECU, for the first time Tuesday since DeMarco's termination in April of 1998. Both Eakin and Dr. Ralph Scott, were subpoenaed by DeMarco's attorney Dr. Richard Eakin UNIVERSITY CHANCELLOR in an effort to determine whether DeMarco was fired for "profanity and shoving colleagues" or a secret "loaded-employee file Eakin spoke first, saying he had warned DeMarco of alleged misconduct as early as June of 1994, and told him that any fur- ther alleged misconduct would result in more serious actions. After alleged information that DeMarco had reportedly contin- ued to be disruptive on two different accounts in faculty meetings, Eakin said he was forced to take action. "His behavior continued to be unprofessional and that led to action on my part. I then con- tacted DeMarco about my discharge decision, listing four specifications (of why he was being fired Eakin said. When Eakin appointed a due process, committee to investigate the complaints, the committee con- cluded that their wasn't enough evidence to fire DeMarco.

PAGE 3 New skate policy adopted on campus Violators of ordinance receive state citation DEBS! E N Kl WIRTI1 S r UK RITKR ECU recently adopted a new Parking and Traffic ordinance concerning skateboarding and in-line skating on campus. 'The policy is in effect to protect the safety of pedestrians, as well as people skateboarding and in-line skating. The policy states that students can use skateboards and skates as a mode of trans- portation to and from classes but places lim- itations on other uses. Skateboards and skates are not allowed in campus buildings or in the streets of campus. And recreational use of these devices has been abolished from university grounds. According to the ordinance, trick riding or trick skating is prohibited with tricks defined as jumping, skidding, and intentionally leav- ing the ground. A student skateboards on sidewalks adjacent to the university. FILE PHOTO Although skateboards and skates will be allowed on sidewalks and in parking lots, other areas of campus such as curbs and handrails will constitute a breech of the ordi- nance. Students using skateboards and skates must yield the right-of-way to anyone else walking on campus or people using wheelchairs. Failing to observe the new ordinance will have conse- quences for offenders. If a stu- dent is caught performing tricks or violating the policy, they will be issued a state citation by the city of Greenville and it will cost up to $25. The policy is attempting to prevent trick skating because it can be dangerous to pedestrians. Leslie Craigle, the Director of Marketing, believes the policy will be used properly. "This policy is looking for people to use common sense and to protect themselves Craigle said. The policy was created by Parking and 'Transportation, and will be enforced by ECU police officers. Many students were com- plaining about the skating on campus, and felt it was hazardous to them thus prompting the need for the ordinance. Lt. Dail of the ECU Police Department feels the new regulation will be enforced effectively. "We are not trying to stop students from riding skateboards or skates as long as they do it in a responsible way Dail said. Jason Richardson, an ECU student, feels as long as skaters watch where they are going, the policy should work fine. "Maybe they should put a passage espe- cially for skaters so they have less of a chance running into people Richardson said. Many students will be and have been affected by this already. Jason Hopkins, ECU student, feels some people need to skate to and from campus as a means of transporta- tion. "It sounds good, especially if it is really crowded on campus Hopkins said. Some students that know about the policy do not think they will be impacted by it. "I think it would effect me more if I skat- ed, but 1 don't, so I don't think I will be affected as much Beck said. Until this policy, Greenville has had no city wide ordinance restricting the use of skates and skateboards. scores lacking U.S. seniors rank second to last TK Jones NEWS EDITOR As if it weren't enough to worry about funding and violence, schools can now add to the list: how to raise academic standards. With U.S. twelfth graders plac- ing 19th out of 21 in math (beating Cyprus and South Africa) and 16th out of 21 in science, and advanced students placing dead last in physics at the Third International Mathematics and Science Study earlier in the year, the results sent shock waves home to the Department of Education, hasten- ing officials to voice a solution to our lagging behind other devel- oped nations. In order to raise scores, states are advised to "ensure that teach- ers are prepared" and that they are "skilled in the best ways of teach- ing mathematics according to a June DOE newsletter. Twenty-eight percent of high- school math teachers and 18 per- cent of high-school science teach- ers did not major or minor in math or science, according to U.S. Secretary of Education Richard W. Riley. "If we're to continue to be glob- al competitors in the new knowl- edge economy, we'll need a steady and competent pool of employees. Right now, the low performance of those in the pipeline for those future jobs has troubling implica- tions for our future Riley said. More than 20 million American twelfth graders are unequipt with primary math skills. At the same time, university enrollment is on the rise and so are remedial cours- es. Across the nation approximate- ly 30 percent of incoming fresh- men enroll in remedial courses. At ECU, remedial course numbers are rising at the same pace as the number of students unable to pass freshman litmus standards. Currently, over 1100 students fill the 38 sections of remedial SEE MATH. PAGE 2 Jarvis Residence Hall receives new make over Oldest hall will take one year to renovate D K � B 1 K N E I W I K T STAKE' WHITER Facilities Services is in the process of reno- vating Jarvis Hall, the oldest residence hall and building on campus. Facilities Services is systematically ren- ovating all the older residence halls on campus. They can't afford to take on more than one project at a time, and Jarvis Hall has top priority. The reason for the renovation is the building's age and structural condition. The first wing was built in 1909, the same year the hall first opened its doors, and nat- ural wear and tear has made renovating a must. Contracts for the renovation have not been issued as of now, but will be within the next month. Estimates for the building overhaul have reached over $4 million. Manny Amaro, Director of University Housing Services, is working on the Jarvis Hall project, "The new building will be completely renovated inside and out and will have a whole new addition to it Amaro said. Once the renovation starts, it will take a full 12 months to complete. Currently, a fence surrounds Jarvis Hall, due to the removal of asbestos from the building.s exterior. A contractor will be brought in to commence the major renovations following the asbestos removal phase. Opening of the refurbished residence hall is projected for January 2000. The building will include double rooms and air conditioning, with individual thermostat controls in each room. There will be acces- sibility for the handicapped and a large social room where the previous courtyard was located. This will also serve as the buildings main entrance. Dr. George Harrel, Assistant Vice Chancellor for Administration and Finance, says the master plan was designed by ECU Housing Services "Jarvis Hall was very old and didn't have many modern quali- ties about it Harrel said. Housing Services has devel- oped a 15 year plan to renovate all of the older residence halls. Besides the current renovation, they also have 300 other active projects in progress campus wide. Jarvis Hall's renovation will be a one year process.

A predicted enrollment surge with- in NC's 16 public university sys- tem could add 42,323 students by 2006 according to estimates made by the UNC General Administration. Four of the systems largest uni- versities, East Carolina, NC State, UNC-Chapel Hill and UNC- Charlotte, would absorb 55 percent of the system wide student increase, the same percentage of students that the schools currently support The states three largest univer- sities foresee such growth as prob- lematic, but UNCC welcomes the influx of students. ECU's most desperate problem, lack of space to expand its campus facilities. "We're fairly landlocked, which means we are fairly locked to our existing facilities said Bob Thompson, ECU director of plan- ning and institutional research. UNC-CH faces similar chal- lenges with lack of space. Expecting the wave of students to jump the enrollment more than 6,000 students some Chapel Hill officials worry that the boom could paralyze the town. Although N.C. State has fewer concerns about space, officials there question the quality of educa- tion the university could offer to over 35,000 students. But despite having the physical space for expansion, UNCC must tackle the issue of finding addition- al money for new campus facilities. Funding for new buildings is essential for UNCC's plans for rapid growth, which has the least facilities space per student throughout the N.C. university sys- tem. Expansion at ECU would mean a number of other issues would need addressing. With growth in student population, the demand on current faculty and staff becomes maximized requiring additional university employees. Ronald Speier, ECU Dean of Students, has experienced the uni- versities response to past growth spurts raising the student popula- tion from 12,500 to 17,500. "With growth in student popula- tion there is a similar expansion in faculty and staff Speier said. Speier is also confident that the quality of services offered ECU students will keep pace with the growth.

This is the first local effort to unite people of Greek ancestry who live in Greenville and sur- rounding communities. The clos- est and only Greek Orthodox Church in N.C. is located in Raleigh, and while this reunion serves a religious purpose, it also aims at bringing people together to celebrate their Greek culture. 'The purpose is to share the language and culture and to wel- come Greeks coming here from overseas Syson said. After getting to know each other, Syson intends to discover how many other Greeks actually live in Greenville. So far, she has contacted 90 Greek families in Greenville, Wilson, Kinston, Winterville, New Bern, Jacksonville, and Morchead City. Greenville will function as the center for the organization. The Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church, located in Raleigh, is the only cultural organization for Greeks in eastern N.C. The Church currently has between 300 and 400 members. Syson's efforts attempt to create a welcoming, warm place where other Greeks can turn for fellowship and cultural sharing. This will give children and adults a church and community they can feel comfort- able in.

The president also is responsible for speaking at gradua- tion as well as picking the senior gift. . "The senior class president leaves a lasting impression on all the students on graduation day said Leslie Pulley, SGA vice presi- dent. "It is important to choose a leader that is going to give gradu- ates encouragement and inspira- tion for the future bureuocracy that governs them. The number of students choosing math as a major - less than 1 per- cent at ECU - are are more likely to chose other fields than teaching. A 20-year trend shows that of those certified to teach math, one- third never enter a classroom. Of the remaining two-thirds who do, one-third of them have stopped teaching after five years. "A former student of mine with her masters in math is a teacher at a local high school. She is being forced to coach cheerleading.

But university growth and popu- lation increase does not necessarily mean that attcrfding ECU will be more expensive. "There is no direct relationship between the increase in student population and the cost of tuition Thompson said. But he added that that does not mean that tuition in the future would not increase. There are two major causes for the expected surge, more people going to college and more high school graduates. These new stu- dents arc the children of the baby boomers who converged on univer- sity campuses during the 1960s. Need to make copies? You shouldn't have to wait an hour!

Despite the finding, some law- makers said chemical weapons could still be a factor behind ail- ments that remain undiagnosed seven years later. The report Tuesday blamed the mystery on poor Pentagon record- keeping of possible unconventional weapons attacks in the 1991 con- flict and a lack of medical informa- tion on troops before, during and after the war. But in general, the committee's final report on the subject, pre- pared over the past year, backs the military's long-held assertion that chemical weapons haven't been linked to veterans' ailments. "There is insufficient evidence ��t this time to prove or disprove "that there was an actual low level exposure of any troops to chemical weapon nerve agents or that any of the health effects some veterans arc experiencing were caused by such exposure the report says. Instead, the report agrees with Pentagon findings that no single cause has been determined for complaints ranging from chronic fatigue to memory loss. Besides chemical weapons, other possible causes included exposure to pesti- cides, smoke from oil well fires and other toxins. "Some questions Gulf War vet- erans have about their health may never be answered the Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee report concluded. Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter, Republican chairman of the committee, said the findings showed the Pentagon remains "unprepared for the problems of chemical and biological warfare and what may occur as a result of terror- ism As for veterans' health com- plaints. Specter said, "My judg- ment is tha't nerve gas is a con- tributing factor to Gulf War ill- ness Specter and Sen. Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia, rank- ing Democrat on the committee, are promoting legislation that would require the Pentagon to improve troop readiness for uncon- ventional warfare and require the government to provide medical care to all Gulf War veterans who complain of maladies that may or may not be war related. "There should be a presump- tion that if you come back with an undiagnosed illness from the Persian Gulf War that you will be able to be compensated and cared for Rockefeller said. Now, claims are often denied by the Department of Veterans' Affairs when illnesses aren't easily categorized or treated, the senators said. Of 700,000 soldiers sent to the Gulf, 20,000 have undiagnosed complaints and 60,000 have suf- fered illnesses that may or may not be from the war, said Matt Puglisi, a spokesman for the American Legion. "This report, in not finding a link between chemical weapons and the illnesses, only points out there's a lack of evidence Puglisi said. "It doesn't mean people aren't sick Judge to release Clinton's deposition in Paula Jones case, may consider further sanctions LITTLE ROCK, Arkansas (AP) � Citing President Bill Clinton's misleading statements about Monica Lewinsky, a federal judge said she will make public a deposi- tion containing Clinton's now-infa- mous denial of "sexual relations" with Lewinsky. In a footnote to her ruling, the judge also suggested she may con- sider sanctions against Clinton for being less than forthcoming about his relationship with the former White House intern. U.S. District Judge Susan Webber Wright ruled that Clinton's deposition will be released as part of the previously secret files in Paula Jones' now-dis- missed sexual harassment lawsuit. Much of Clinton's deposition has already been made public through excerpts released in earlier court filings. Even so, Clinton's lawyers had sought to block its release, claiming among other things that it would taint the prospects of a fair trial should Mrs. Jones' now-dismissed lawsuit be reinstated upon appeal. Wright rejected that argument and said she would begin releasing documents Sept. 28, barring an appeal of Tuesday's decision. "Although the President does object, his deposition has largely been made public and has been the subject of intense scrutiny in the wake of his public admission that he was "misleading' with regard to his relationship with Monica Lewinsky Wright wrote. Clinton acknowledged Aug. 17 before a federal grand jury and Greek continued from page 2 Classical Greek program, she desires a program in Modern Greek as well. An Athens, Greece native, Syson came to ECU to pursue her masters degree in Maritime History and Nautical Archaeology. "It has been two to three years that people here in Greenville have been working on having a Greek community she said. Christina Christou, a Biomedical and Physics student at ECU, also works with "Syson to organize the local Greek community. "We are trying to get the Greek community together since we are away from our own background Christou said. "If you are from a dif- ferent culture and already have peo- ple from your culture together, you can understand each other better Frank Cantelas, a professor in Maritime History is also of Greek heritage. "I think in eastern N.C. there are not many cultural events, and this is a good idea Cantelas said. Though the department may take him out of town, he will attend the event if at all possible. The festivities are set for Saturday, September 12 at Christine's in the Hilton. Invitations include a buffet with Greek food and wine and will have a live four member orchestra from Kentucky that will perform Greek music. The festival is entitled "The First Hellinic Night "We want Greeks to know who we are and, especially, to respond in the event Syson said. again in a nationally televised address that he had an inappro- priate relationship with Ms. Lewinsky. In a Jan. 17 deposition in Mrs. Jones' case, Clinton said: "I have never had sexual relations with Monica Lewinsky In a one-sentence footnote, Wright said she "has concerns about the nature of the president's January 17, 1998, deposition" but makes no findings at this time regarding whether the president may be in contempt Clinton's lawyer's for Mrs. Jones' lawsuit, Robert Bennett, could not be reached for comment. Wright gave lawyers until Sept. 15 to file a notice of appeal about her decision, in which case she said she would delay releasing the previous- ly secret proceedings. A dozen media organizations, including The Associated Press, asked that thecase file be unsealed. Wright initially rejected their request, but a federal appeals panel ordered her to reconsider after she dismissed the sexual harassment lawsuit April 1. Wright said June 30 that she would unseal the documents but delayed doing so after attorneys for Clinton and Mrs. Jones objected. Mrs. Jones' lawyers later switched positions and urged the judge make the record public. Wright ruled Tuesday that the videotaped copy of Clinton's depo- sition would remain under seal, as well as any discovery materials that were not filed with the court.

The mere mention of the word is enough to weaken the knees of any freshman. Some take the ostrich approach-they stick their heads in the sand and wait a few semesters, hoping it will go away. The only problem is, it won't. The fact is, every semester you wait to take those courses hurts you even more. Whatever nuggets of mathematical information you retained from high school are gradually disappearing. (How fast depends on your beer intake.) Before you whine about how bad and boring your high school teachers were, remember that it doesn't matter here at college. However little you might have remembered can't hurt. Maybe you had one teacher that didn't put you to sleep and actually taught you a few things. The latest math scores show the United States lurking at the very bottom of the barrel. For such an advanced country, this is a huge embarrasment, and it shows in the rising number of remedial math courses being offered at ECU. Every year, more than 50 percent of incoming freshmen fail the math placement test. Nationwide, over 30 percent of incoming freshmen take remedial courses. Math 1065 is the most failed course on campus. Many people go through it two or three times before they get a passing grade. This is something students, and especially freshmen, need to work harder on. Spend a little more time with those math books before you hit downtown, and you'll get everything over with quicker. A little less time watching Melrose Place or wrestling will do wonders for your test scores. Rather than waiting for the right time to take the required math course, students need to bite the bullet and get it over with. Yeah, we know how boring it is. We've been there ourselves. But the bottom line is, students need to take them sooner or later. Suck it up. It's not that bad. And actually, once you've got it over with, it'll be a big load off your shoulders. OPINION Marvelle Sullivan Columnist Should we be Russia's savior Throwing money at them and taking pictures with their leaders is irresponsible and an inefficient use of our governments resources. Well, once again, a black cloud is looming over our economy. The stock market has taken the inevitable and predicted plunge. It is a nervous, but not quite a desperate situationyet. The downfall is a reaction and a reflection of the international situation that has surfaced over the past few months. Basically, Russia is about to collapse, not to mention the Pacific Rim. To remedy the situation, and to maybe receive a few P.R. points, Bill Clinton has traveled to Russia in hopes of saving their country from a virtual political and economic meltdown. The Russian government really does need help, but are we the ones to fulfill that role? Russia needs to form a government that is going to work for them. Our previous "aid" obviously did not bring about prosperity to the Russian people. The American government's attitude of omniscient savior, while admittedly well-intentioned, has to be quite sickening to people all around the world. I am sure Russia appreciates our love and support, etc but at the same time they most assuredly realize that Slick Willy is of no help to them, even symbolically. He represents to all around the world the epitome of American foreign policy and leadership�hypocritical. At the same time, though, we can't let Russia completely go under for one purely selfish reason�it is going to hurt us also. Even though the total Russian economy is smaller than the total Dutch economy, the collapse of a former super power just doesn't make the stock market want to bounce back. So, what should we 'do? We do have some minor responsibility to give Russia a hand, but this responsibility is of the same amount and weight as any other strong country. It makes no economic sense to give financial aid to Russia. That would be like giving candy to a baby�it would be appreciated but in the short and long run the gift would be meaning less and unbeneficial. The United States should subsidize the U.S. business investments in Russia, but then only with guarantees that the Russian government maintain a semblance of law and order and integrate ah enforceable, moderate tax policy. That seems to be a reasonable action on our part. If Russia does indeed collapse, we did what we could without losing insane amounts of money. If they survive, they learned how to do it themselves and maybe this time the system will stick and work for them. America cannot go to countries and correct everything without some instruction andor performance based ultimatum. Throwing money at them and taking pictures with their leaders is irresponsible and an inefficient use of our government's resources. HBSHHW mmtusuu OPINION Columnist Christopher Coppedge Bonnie coverage, nice change Clinton addressed the nation and apologized admitting his wrongdoings. Afterward his approval ratiang dropped slightly. It dropped due to the fact he made his speech in the middle of Monday Night FootballShut up and put football back on. Fm glad to see something else on the news, even a hurricane. As strange as it may sound, Hurricane Bonnie was quite refreshing. Living in North Carolina since I was born, I have experienced the power and destruction of hurricanes. Two years ago, Hurricane Fran was nice enough to wrap an aluminum shed around my Blazer. Despite this, I found Bonnie refreshing for the media attention it received. Finally, something other than President Clinton and Monica Lewinsky was on TV. There has been so much media attention around these two it makes me sick. Can news stories be so scarce that the media must pry into the Presidents' sex life? Somewhere there has to be something important to report. For approximately seven months the trial almost monopolized television. Both the trial and reports of the trial were a waste of time and money, because who really cared? Clinton addressed the nation and apologized admitting his wrongdoings. Afterward his approval ratiang dropped slightly. It dropped due to the fact he made his speech in the middle of Monday Night Football. This caused many people to miss the second half. True, it was only a pre- season game, but it was football. Honestly, who cares what Monica and Bill did, if it doesn't directly affect me. I'm not condoning his actions, but enough already. What does affect me is the constant coverage on every channel. I haven't bee this upset since O.J. Simpson, and he's back to tell his story. Somebody make it stop! I hold Linda Tripp responsible for this scandal. I feel like beating her with a baseball bat until I can't move my arms. I'd also love to smack analysts with a bat too. Clinton's apology took around five to ten minutes. The analysts took another hour to say the same thing the President did. Shut up and put football back on. I'm glad to see something else on the news, even a hurricane. Lb I IbR to the editor Sonic plaza no substitute for nature I would like to make a few comments about the sonic plaza. First of all, I woulk like to point out that the loud mating calls of cicadas and other insects were ringing through the trees on the mall long before the sonic plaza, the new library, and the campus were constructed. Therefore, the artifical sounds of the sonic plaza may at first seem a bit redundant. However, I think that I have figured out why it was installed. The university is in the process of transforming the natural landscape of the campus into a concrete and brick wasteland. Fields of grass and stands of hardwoods have been uprooted to make room for walkways and parking lots. Once the transformation is complete, insects, birds, and other anmimals that live in these dwindling niches will be forced to adapt, move on, or die. Anticipating their dispersal, the university decided to pipe in "natural" sounds. Isn't it interesting that much of this transformation has taken place during the summer months when there are fewer students around to protest?

According to Heather Zophy, MA ED, the Director of Health Education and Student Health Services: Many people, especially college students, tend to lack com- munication with their partners. This lack of communication she says is a major factor in the spread of S'lTs (sexually transmitted infections). Increasingly, society has become more open toward various aspects of sexuality. I Infortunatcly, health educators say that even in the 90's they are finding that this openness is is still accompanied by ignorance. On today's college campuses it's not uncommon for sexual part- ners to know little or nothing about the past of their partners. I low many times are phases like, 'I don't even know your last name?' or, 'So, where are you from?' asked. A common misconception that people have is that the only way to get an infection is through the act of intercourse.

Diseases like genital warts (IIPV) and genital herpes (I1SV), which are two of the most commonly contracted STI's, can be transmitted by simply having skin- to-skin contact with an infected PHOTO BY KIM MCCUMBEB person. This does not mean that other forms of STI's can't be transmitted through physical contact, but they generally requite open sores for transference. The best way to avoid getting an STI is of course through absti- nence. I lealth educators that on college campuses today it is unreal- istic to think that sexual activities will not take place.

Dry SENIOR Mllil Cost and inconvenience are no longer excuses to refrain from hav- ing an HIV test. This fall, Student Health Services (SMS) has begun giving free HIV screening which specifi- cally looks for HIV antibodies. "The Student Health Center is an outreach HIV screening site for the Pitt County Public Health Center for college students said " think it's a great idea that Student Health is giving free HIV testing to students " Wayne Richardson Junior Jolene Jernigan, director of Clinical Operation. According to Jernigan, SI IS has been trying to get this service pro- vided for students for the last five years. "It was hard to do when we were working with budgeted money from the statcJernigan said. The screening process is simple. According to the director of Health Education, Heather Zophy stu- dents should call the SHS to make the appointment with one of the health care providers. "All of our health care providers at SHS are capable of administering the HIV test Zophy said. Before the testing actually occurs, SHS provides pretest coun- seling for their patients. According to Jernigan, the health care provider gives the patient a pamphlet con- taining the pros and cons of an HIV screening. Once the patient decides to go through with the pro- cedure, they are asked to fill out a consent form. Once the test is com- pleted the patient is given a num- ber which they will use to receive their results. "We provide confidentiality to all of our patients Jernigan said. Zophy said SI IS encourages patients to make a follow up appointment the same day they go in for testing. "Students should make their fol- low up appointment with the same health care provider who adminis- tered the rest to ensure continuity Zophy said. In approximately two weeks, the results arc brought back from state- labs. If tests are positive, SI IS have procedures they go through with the patients. "A counselor from the Pitt County Public I lealth (Center and a SI IS provider will be there to talk to the patient Jernigan said. Jernigan said they would go through options with the patient such as who to tell, where to go from there, and mental and emo- tional counseling. "Our goal is to support our patients emotionally in any way we can Jernigan said. "Since we are local and convenient, we try to find the help they need and support them ECU students are also very sup- portive of the new addition to SHS. "I think it's a great idea that Student Health is giving free 11IX" testing to students junior Wayne Richardson said. "It's a great idea because it eliminates many excuses that ate made foe not getting tested said Kicrsten Hansen, a third year student. HIV is a virus that is transmitted through bodily fluids, whether it's through sexual intercourse, drug use, or from mother to child. You can not get it from handshakes, hugs, kissing, or using such things like dishes and rcstrooms after an infected person. "The best way to prevent trans- mitting the disease is through absti- nenceZophy said. "Abstaining from the use of drugs or sexual intercourse is the only foolproof way to prevent it According to Zophy, if someone chooses to engage in sex, it would be best for you and your partner to be in a mutual monogamous rela- tionship and to always use a latex condom. Ways HIV IS Transmitted �Having unprotected sex-vaginal, anal or oral with an infected person �Using or being stuck with a syringe that has been used by or administered to an infected person �Giving birth-Women with HIV infection can pass the virus to their babies during pregnancy or child- birth. In some cases even from breast feeding. �Receiving Blood-The risk of infections through blood transfusions has been practically eliminated since 1985 when careful and widespread screening and testing of the blood became standard practice. Nurse Gina Bery is one of many nurses at Student Health that are trained to test for HIV and counsel all students.

Although some people are allergic to latex, health educators say most people have an aversion to condoms rather than an allergy. People who do experience a reac- tion after using latex condoms should contact Student Health Services for information on other safe options. The number of students report- ing STI's has increased dramatical- ly in just a few short years. "When I graduated from ECU in 1988 the number of students on campus having an STI was about 1 in 6 Zophy said; "Today ECU has an STI rate of one in four which is holding with the national average and is also very close to becoming one in three. This is only based on the students we have tested or whom have informed us. Many may not report their condition to the school With these startling numbers it'i hard to believe that our society in general is not more careful on averj age. ; ECU offers testing for all STI's; Some tests are free, but others' require a nominal fee. The most expensive test is a $29 test for gen- ital herpes (HSV). ECU also offers seminars about STI's and counseling for those with STI's or any other related problems. The counseling center is located on the third floor of the Wright building in room 316 and Student Health Services is located on ECU's main campus. Any student who would like to be tested for STIs is encouraged to contact Student Health Services at 328- 6841 to set up an appointment.

Sometimes living in Oreenville you find yourself bored with the same old thing time and time again. But now many students and residents can enjoy movies in Carmike Theaters new 12 screen complex. The new theater, located on East Fire Tower Road, opened Aug. 5. Opening night was complete with crowds of people who may or may not have realized their money was being donated to local chari- ties. All proceeds from the first two night's ticket sales were donated to the Pitt County United Way and the Children's Miracle Network. The decision to sponsor Pitt County United Way came from the support of workers at the HOT FM. "We were told we would receive monies from the box office, " said Kimberly Roche, director of the Pitt County United Way. "We were to receive ticket sales from the evening and both the 7 and 9:00 shows sold out Roche was not certain if there would be another sponsored event with the theater. Roche said that the initial pur- pose for the chariry event was to get the cqmmunity together and out to see the new theater. The theater which offers twelve screens has four stadium seated auditoriums. Bob Johnson, the manager of the Carmike Theater, said that all the houses arc in stereo and four of the houses are equipped with THX, a standard that offers the best sound quality.

(AP) � Police are qn the lookout for somebody with one big sweet tooth and 2,400 kringles, a light and flaky O-shaped pastry that is a favorite at local bak- eries. "I don't know whether we should be checking hospitals for someone with a huge bellyache, or visiting coffee shops to see who's drinking mass quantities of coffee said police Lt. Al Luther. On Thursday, Charles Palmer- Ball, owner of Lehmann's Baker, reported the loss of 200 cases of the pastry, which was brought to Racine by Danish immigrants. Each case had about a dozen kringles�a total value of about $8,160, Sgt. Jerry Baldukas said Saturday. Inventory records show that the thefts began sometime in July from a storage area in the back of the store, now kept locked, Luther said. Most people in this city along Lake Michigan in southeastern Wisconsin satisfy their kringle crav- ing legally, at about $3.99 for a sin- gle-flavored kringle and $4.89 for a double flavor. "Assorted flavors were stolen, so we can't just keep a lookout for blueberry or raspberry stains Luther said. Hailstorm sparks rumors that world ending HANOI, Vietnam (AP) The first hailstorm in memory caused serious damage in a southern Vietnamese village and sparked rumors that it was a harbinger of doomsday. The chief of the provincial Weather Forecast Station was forced to visit Hiep Thanh, in the Mekong Delta province of Bac Lieu, and appear on local television to explain that it was a natural phe- nomenon, an official of the forecast station said. The hail destroyed 11 thatched homes and damaged 19 others. All of the village's vegetable gardens were damaged, as were other crops. Typhoon Linda, the worst storm to hit the Mekong Delta in a century, caused more than600 million in damage last year. Mathematician solves 400-year-old riddle ANN ARBOR, Michigan (AP) A U.S. mathematician has spent 10 years and three gigabytes of com- puter space figuring out what every 17-year-old grocery clerk already knows: The best way to stack fruit is in a pyramid. Thomas Hales, a professor at University of Michigan, used com- puters and an equation with 150 variables to conclude that when stacking spherical objects, the fruit- stand arrangement is the most effi- cient use of space. Stacking spherical objects directly on top of one another in a cubic configuration uses just over half of the cube's space. Stacking them in a pyramid, with the objects resting off-center in the cracks between spheres, fills 74 percent of the overall space. "The problem seemed simple to me said Hales, 40. "But the more I studied the problem, the more I saw the complexities Of course, oranges and grape- fruits are stacked in pyramids in the grocery store not because it's an efficient use of space, but because it keeps them from rolling onto the floor.

Whenever I told them ECU, they would usually respond with the common nick- names, EZ-U or with some remark about ECU'S reputation as a "party college While the situation has changed a bit in recent years and such remarks by no means reflect the entire school population, a good deal of my friends at ECU spend a good deal of their time partying. In the three years I had been at ECU, I'd only been to a sin- gle party. Since I've been to Japan, I can't even count the num- ber I've been to; it's so much more social here. One might think that with the reputation of Japan as a perpetually busy nation, that they'd never stop to have fun�quite the opposite. According to one of the newspapers I read a while back, the average Japanese drinks a good deal more than their American counterpart. While I'm not usually one to trust what I read, I've seen a lot of evidence to support this. So far I've been out with people I'd never have expected to even like drinking. My Japanese teacher, for example, or the president of the university here. I'd never had thought these people would even get out of the classroom. Another one of our Japanese teachers even came to the bar where one of my class- mates worked. I mean, I'd expected to find good drinking bud- dies among my peers, but my teachers? I suppose that one of the reasons is that Osaka and Tokyo have what might be the most efficient public transportation sys- tem ever known. Public trains run until 11:00 or 12:00 at night (depending on where you need to go) and cabs run all night. And not only that, you don't even need to call cabs in the city� they are always driving around the streets. So, at least here in Osaka, you don't need to figure out who the designated driver of the night is going to be, because most people our age don't even have cars here. There is just no need (for cars). Also, in Japan, the legal drink- ing age is 20, and most of the time they don't even check your ID. My nineteen-year-old friend only got blocked out of a bar once here. Another reason might be that bars are usually open here until five or six in the morn- ing and the 24-hour restaurants nearby are plentiful too. There's SEE UTTER.

However, I suppose that the biggest reason for so much of this "social interchange" (as the politi- cally correct might prefer) is that in Japan, the bond between friends is much stronger. Not only that, the teacher-student bonds arc much stronger too. In some cases, the teachers are often expected to show their students a good time outside of class. At least in my experience, you might never ever see your teachers outside of class back in America, but even in the second-busiest city in Japan we still managed to spot one of our Japanese teachers (we have four, and this is yet a different one from the others mentioned above) stumbling home in the morning. Every so often, it still strikes me as odd that people I barely know arc asking me if I want to join them at such-and-such a place at such- and-such a time. But, then I remember I'm halfway across the world and people here are a lot dif- ferent. I haven't actually been scared of anyone since I came here. I think you could probably count last years homicides in Japan with- out going over a dozen. The only fight I've heard about since I've been here involved shoving and not even a single punch was thrown. The society's just so much different here, so much different that it's actually safe to sleep on the streets here. In fact, me and my friends did that once, too, but that's another story. Let's just say that Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays arc just as slow in Japan as they are on Fifth Street. iULLKTc "A Touch OfClass:r(Y QVJ 756-6278 Located 5 miles West of Greenville on 264 Alt.

For the third consecu- tive year, the Pitt County Pirate Club is working closely with the universi- ty to promote school spir- it by filling the Dowdy- Ficklen Stadium with fans dressed in purple on game day. The organiza- tion set a goal to sell 10,000 "paint it purple" tee-shirts this year, aftet selling 6,000 the first year and 7,000 the next. Lindy Daughtry, a board member of the Pitt County Pirate Club, encourages the entire community to get involved buy purchasing a shirt for $5. "Our biggest goal was to find an item that we could sell for $5 so that every single person could afford to participate Daughtry said. "We want this to be a community project and not just a university project Don Edwards, owner of University Book Exchange, is one of many Greenville citizens who has demonstrated an enormous amount of support for the paint it purple event. To pro- mote sales, he has allowed Daughtry to set up a booth in his store to sell the shirts.

PAGE 3 Football team looks for revenge in Blacksburg Who's HOT on the Hokies? Pirates to open season this Saturday S i kv E Los i: v ASSIST.T SPORTS EDITOR 'The last time ECU played the Virginia 'Tech Hokies, Blacksburg, VA was cold enough to freeze the Pirate offense. Dan Gonzalez, last year's quarterback, was only able to connect for two touchdowns, where the Hokies scored five times and collected 591 yards. This time around, the Pirates are hoping to turn the heat up and spa;k a fire of their own. Last year's game against the Hokies is still fresh in the senior player's minds. "I remember them pounding the ball senior free safety Kelvin Suggs said. "I remember a missed tackle I had that they scored for a touchdown. That's the play that sticks out most. Every time someone mentions Virginia 'Tech, 1 think about that play. 'They just ran the ball, ran the ball, ran the ball Suggs feels that the Pirate's front seven will be just the thing to stop the Hokies rushing game. "Our front seven is the best around this area, and should be the best Suggs said. "It'll solve that problem Senior center Danny Moore remem- bered the crowd at the last Virginia Tech game making it hard to hear. "The guys up at Virginia Tech got some great fans Moore said. "Fans are really loud, makes it tough to hear the audiblcs. 'They got a tradition up there, much like we do here. Those guys take a lot of pride in what they do Perhaps the biggest change from last season is in the quarterback's position. Gonzalez's graduation left the position open for three players, senior Ernest Tinnin, sophomore Bobby Weaver, and redshirt freshman David Garrard. Tinnin and Weaver both saw little playing time previously, making each of the three can- didates are hungry for the job. Moore does I not expect the quarterback rotation to affect the team in any way. "We've got one blocking team for all three quarterbacks Moore said. "That's the way vc look at it. All three are capable of getting the job done. We go out there and block our man so all three of those guys can make the right plays and we'll be in good shape As of Monday's press conference, head coach Steve Logan had not decided which of the three quarterbacks will start this Saturday, but expects to rotate the position frequently. "Before it's over, I know that two of them will play Logan said. "Maybe three. Everyone can choose how much they want to read into the starts, but it's not going to be that meaningful, because I'm going to find out just as you find out. Whoever is playing well will play Logan acknowledged the Hokies advantage over the Pirates in field goal kicking. "Their (Virginia lech's field goal kick- er was 19 for 23 last year. Very bluntly, we don't have that capability. We couldn't make 19 out of 23 on air. The field goal thing concerns me greatly, it really does. It just has been a little bit of a thorn in our side. If they get the ball to the 40-yard line, they've got three points. When we get to the 40-yard line, we've got at least one more first down to make before we can kick it Logan said that one of Virginia 'Tech's kickers hit a 53-yard field goal in a scrim- mage. "If the field goal kicker has such a reach, the defense would have much more stress Logan said. "The red zone would be lengthened, and keeping the Hokies downfield would be much more impor- tant Moore felt that junior fullback Damon Davis, sophomore fullback Jamie Wilson, and freshman fullback Leonard Henry will produce many rushing yards for the Pirates. Henry is coming off an injury (a pulled quadricep) but is reportedly play- ing very well. SEE HOME.

'The athletic department stands to receive 4 million dollars from the deal. The department already has plans for how the money will be used. At this time, the a plan has been divised to split the money between two separate projects. "A portion of the money will go to a new strength and condi- tioning facility with an academic area ECU athletic director Mike Hamrick said. The money for the facility will not come from the Pepsi contract alone. The Pepsi money will be added to financial resources that have come it from a fund raising campaign rhat has just begun. The facility which will be used mainly for Pirate football practices and training, is in the early plan- ning phases. The department has yet to finalize a decide for a design. "We hope to start the facility within the next year Hamrick said. 'The remainder of the money will go in an endowment for ath- SEE PEPSI. PAGE 13 Marching Pirates put on show of ECU pride Inn H.m rk SENIOR VV k I T E R Essential to the athletic depart- ment and its endless attempts to provoke ECl; spirit are a number of different components ranging from the athletes, fans, souvenirs, and the Marching Pirates, the band at the heart of Pirate pride Comprised of 189 members, each a full-time student, the band engages its crowd and offers more than listening pleasure. "As the largest student organi- zation on campus, one of our roles at football games is to not only pro- vide entertainment for the ECU fans, but keep up the energy and noise levels in the stadium Chris Knighten, director of the ECU Marching Pirates said. "We encourage everyone attending the game to join in as many songs and cheers to support the Pirates Along with its significant place in the stands, the band is sched- uled to make several other perfor- mances this year including two high school marching band festi- vals. This will be a great outreach tool for the university, the school of music and the band for a very good recruitment for the future Knighten said.

Saittmbir 3, 1998 sports The Ettt Carolinian Soccer starts on promising note Men scrimmage for first two wins of season Mario Scherhaufek SENIOR WRITER Two conclusions were drawn by the Pirates head men's soccer coach Will Wiberg after his team took on Methodist and Barton for scrim- mage meetings. "Every player had the opportu- nity to show their skills, and they also had to learn how to pace them- selves when they were not only fighting against the opponent teams but also against the heat and humidity out at the fields Wiberg said. According to Wiberg, the team was taught another lesson about the importance of fitness, especially under extreme heat conditions. The heat index of 115 degrees was probably tougher to beat than Methodist College, who was defeated easily by a score of 6-1 on Aug. 25. ECU outshot Methodist 25-3, including a pair of goals by A. J. Gray and one goal each from Robby Schwartz, Sean Hawley, Nick Errato and Garland Gill. While ECU's defense had an easy after- noon, the offense was attacking the Methodist goal constantly, both by its wings and through the middle. "There are still a lot of areas to Marching continued from page 11 Charlotte. Some of the Marching Pirates' recent NFL appearances include halftime performances for the Panthers and the Washington Redskins at RFK Stadium in Washington, DC. With a diverse group of mem- bers coming from 11 different states, the marching band attracts numerous music majors who intend on pursuing band directing careers. However, more th�n half of the band actually concentrates in separate academic fields. Receiving only one hour of credit, the band rehearses six hours each week, and are current- ly preparing three halftime shows: Seventies and Eighties Retro Show, Earth, Wind and Fire Show, and a surprising Halloween Show. "We basically feel that we have a big part and make the crowd a part of the game junior Miles Edmundson, an fourth-year band member said . "We are definitely a central part, of school spirit as well as the football team improve on, especially our finishing skills Wiberg said. While the Pirates entered half- time with a disappointing 1-0 lead, they erupted offensively in the sec- ond half, scoring their second goal at the 46:19 mark. Junior defender Hawley headed the ball into the net off a throw-in from fellow junior midfielder Brian Denoo. ECU then netted four more goals in the last 30 minutes of the half. Wiberg, who has directed ECU's men's soccer program for the past four seasons, was pleased with his squads first efforts of the season. "We played smarter in the sec- ond half and did the things we wanted to, and the score indicated that Wiberg said. The team completed their pre- season period on Sunday with a 3-2 win over the Bulldogs of Barton College. The Bulldogs got off to an early lead in the game, scoring in the 11th minute. Both teams remained scoreless through the rest of the first half as Barton's 1-0 lead held strong despite being outshot 9-4 by the Pirates. Similarly to their Methodist game, however, the Pirates explod- ed offensively during the second half, recording three goals in 11 minutes. The first Pirate goal came at the 69:00 mark when senior Wyatt Panos scored from 17 yards out off a pass from Gray. Just one minute later, sophomore Greg Uphold your 1 st amendment right: Freedom of the press! Apply for a job at east'carolinian today!

PACE 14 after Panos headed a throw-in from Denoo to give sophomore Scott Pokorncy a clear shot to the goal. "In both games we gave up a goal in the last minute of the game, which simply must not happen anymore Wiberg said. Outstanding in both games was that the Pirates made one goal each game by finishing after a long throw-in from Denoo. "He Denoo always had that ability to throw the ball very far, and it's nice to have such a 'special weapon' on the team Wiberg said. According to Denoo, it's all about technique. "I try to get my body weight behind the ball Denoo said. "More important right now is that we are all ready and fired up to play. All we have to do is to keep our focus until the last minute of the game is over The Pirates first home game at Bunting Field is Sept. 10 at 4 p.m. against Virginia Tech. "The team would appreciate a big crowd on Wednesday after- noon. We want to invite everybody to come out and cheer for us Wiberg said.

Laubach SPORTS KDITOH The Lady Pirate soccer team began their 1998 regular season on a strong note, shutting out High Point University 3-0 at Tuesday's game. Neither team was able to post a score for the majority of the first half until ECU"s Shana Woodward con- nected a pass to junior Jennifer Reiley in the 30th minute for the first point of the game and the sea- son. Battling not only the Panthers but the fierce weather conditions as well, the Pirates waited indoor at the half for a 30 minute delay due to lightening. The players returned outside to a puddled field and were forced to change their style of play due to the access water. "We had to play a lot of high balls and air balls because of the water on the field head coach Neil Roberts said. "When it's dry, we play a short, controlled passing game, so we had to change our style of play in the second half Nevertheless, ECU defense came out strong in the second peri- od with goals from freshman Amanda Duffy and sophomore Kim Sandhoff, who scored at the 52cd and 71st minute respectively. Goalkeeper Amy Horton posted a game shutout against High Point, as the Panthers had only three shot attempts during the game com- pared to ECU's 26. "Every time we win a game we learn a lot about ourselves and we gain a lot of confidence Roberts said. "A shutout is a completely convincing victory, and aside from that, we created some really good goal chances The team is scheduled to take on Davidson College this Saturday at 1 p.m. for their second home game of the season. The last time the two teams met, the Pirates brought home a 2-1 victory. "Davidson will be our toughest opponent at this point in the sea- son Roberts said.
