DeMarco and his attorney, Alan

DeMarco was fired for "profanity

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

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.

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

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.

Surge in enrollment numbers
expected for UNC-system
I
Lack of space leaves
little room for growth
Joseph Elder
STAFF WHITE!
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.

mitted, to the quality of student ser-

'The purpose is to share the
language and culture and to wel-

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,

Senate report says no
evidence of nerve gas
WASHINGTON (AP) ? There is
insufficient evidence to say
whether nerve gas caused illnesses
among Persian Gulf War veterans, a
Senate report concludes.
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

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

Christina Christou, a Biomedical

the department may take him out of

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

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.

Math?the dreaded requirement. 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.

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.

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

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?

For thousands of years, sexually.
transmitted infections have
plagued our world.
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. STI's can be trans-

ferreel by the simple act of kissing
or fondling. 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-

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.
The best way to reduce the risk
of catching an STI is the latex eon-

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

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.

FACTS
?There are Currently more than 20 STD's identified
with millions infected every year
?STD's are caused by bacteria, protozoa, fungi,
parasitic insects and viruses
?STO's can damage the body, even if the symptoms
of the disease are mild
?Damage by STD's include infertility, liver disease,
cancer and many others
?Individuals with STD's are at risk for HIV infection
because sore, rashes and blisters provide a way for
HIV to enter the body
dom. 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.

The new theater, located on

Aug. 5.
Opening night was complete

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

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

Roche was not certain if there
would be another sponsored event

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

" Racine bakery reports
theft of 2,400 kringles
jtACINE, Wis. (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.

next-to-last mistake

"It makes cam-

with the money
Way back when I was till a senior in high school, loo of people
would ask me where I was going to college. 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

usually a pretty big share of the
homeless hanging around the
vicinities of the bars in the bigger
cities, but that is to be expected.
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.

Pitt County Pirate Club
decorates Dowdy-Fkklen
Tracy M. Lai bach
SPORT S kDITUR
With the football team's first home game
against the University of Tennessee-
Chattanooga coming up on September 12, it is
time once again to paint this town purple.
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. Walter

inside Young said. "Our mis-

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.

Over the summer, ECU signed a

stock the university's pockets
with 7.1 million dollars over ten
years. 'The athletic department
stands to receive 4 million dollars

The department already has

been divised to split the money

The money for the facility will
not come from the Pepsi contract

The facility which will be used
mainly for Pirate football practices

Essential to the athletic depart-

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

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

vals.
This will be a great outreach
tool for the university, the school

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

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

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

Women's soccer shuts out High Point, 3-0
I
Lady Pirates gain
convincing victory
Tracy M. 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. "I expect it to be
a great competitive game

TYSON. IN FENDER-
BENDER. RESTRAINED
BY OWN BODYGUARDS
GAITHERSBURG, Maryland
(AP) Mike Tyson was involved in
a minor auto accident and had to
be restrained by his own body-
guards from fighting the driver of
the other car, police said.
The former heavyweight cham-
pion complained of chest pains
after Monday's accident, described
by police as minor in this
Washington, D.C suburb. No one
was arrested.
Tyson was a passenger in the
Mercedes convertible driven by,
his wife, Monica Turner, who!
apparendy struck the car in front of
hers, said Derek Baliles, a
spokesman for the Montgomery
County police.
Tyson got out of the car and
"appeared to want to fight the
other driver said Baliles. "He was
restrained by his wife and mem-
bers of his security detail who were
traveling in a second car
The other driver was not identi-
fied.
Because passers-by called to
report the incident, police stopped
Tyson a short time later, he said.
