Protest draws community attention to police brutality j-TTiofifTTi) www.tec.ecu.edu Organization presents demands at station Asn Sheridan ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR , Students and non-students alike : gathered together in front of the Greenville Police Station . Thursday to protest police brutali- . ty' The Federation of Partisans Against Police Brutality (FPAPB) and the Coalition Against Racism (CAR) helped orchestrate the Oct. 22 protest. There were around 30 i people peacefully protesting on the corner of 5th Street and Greene Street. "We came here today to speak out against cases of police harass- ment and police brutality said Carlton Smith, a supervisor at the Mendenhall Student Center. "(We want to confront the occu- pying army and to expose the fact that people don't have control of their own communities because "The reason I am out here is because one incident of police brutality is one incident too many. The police are here to protect and serve the people, not to brutalize them Chris Reynolds Sophomore al Pitt Communiiy College people have no voice about what goes on in the police department The FPAPB presented demands to start community forums to inform people about their rights against the police, an end to the violation of human rights by the Greenville Police Department (GPD), and the police relinquishing information regard- ing the racial makeup of its forces as well as the department's hiring practices. The group's largest demand is for a community review board of the GPD. The CAR would particularly like this board to consist of trusted members of the community, including non-white and poor communities. "The reason I am out here is because one incident of police bru- tality is one incident too many said Chris Reynolds, a sophomore at Pitt Community College. "The police are here to protect and serve the people, not to brutalize them The protest also brought people together who were not members of CAR, yet still interested in the fight against police brutality. "This is the first time I have attended any meeting with this group junior Jeremy Reed said. "I am interested in more informa- tion from this group and about this subject Oct. 22 was the third annual day of protest against police brutality. The GPD had no comment to CAR and did not bother the pro- testers because they had obtained proper permits to hold the protest. Protesters at Thursday's rally hold signs to raise awareness of police brutality in the community.

PAGE 2 www.tec.ecu.edu Five courses expected by spring 1999 Sl'SANNE M ILENKEVICH STAFF WRITER ECU has signed a three year con- tract with Real Education, Inc.for $30,000 to expand the online courses offered. The Denver based company will help ECU make 20 more courses available online by the fall 1999 semester. "Our goal is to have at least five courses available for the 1999 spring semester Dr. David Watkins, special assistant to the vice chancellor of Academic Affairs said. "The other 15 would be avail- able by the 1999 fall semester The distant learning program allows people worldwide to take ECU courses and receive credit for completed courses through the Internet. ECU already offers sever- al dozen courses but wants to expand the program. The contract for 20 more cours- es was negotiated by the Distant Education Extension Advisory Board and reviewed by the University Legal Council. "The Legal Council checked the contract to make sure EC! was not entering a contract that will present legal problems Dr. Richard Ringcisen, vice chancellor of Academic Affairs said. Funding for this program will come from a bill that the State I legislature is currently working on that will provide money to public schools for distant education. "If the bill is delayed, KCl'uill assume responsibility for the pay- ments and will be reimbursed when the State passes the pro- gram Watkins said. It is more economical for ECU to expand its online program through Real Education rather than develop the programs itself Ringcisen said. ECU faculty members will pro- vide the content for the courses and will supervise the academic and curriculum matters. Alcohol Awareness Week educates students Events culminate Halloween night R AC II A EL HlGDON STAFF WRITER Alcohol Awareness Week began Monday to educate people about the dangers of alcohol abuse and will continue through Halloween night. "We are trying to help people become more aware of the use of alcohol and we have planned vari- ous activities to increase awareness of this drug said Donna Walsh, director of Health Promotion and Well-Being. Monday through Thursday stu- dents are invited by SADD to the Wright Place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. to write about their experiences with alcohol on The Wall. Students arc encouraged to express whatever their feelings may be, positive or negative, about the drug. A new way to spread alcohol awareness has been added with the Wall of Rememberances, which will be located at the fountain near Wright Plaza. "The Wall of Rememberances is for us to take time and remember those whose lives have been lost through an alcohol-related inci- dent Walsh said. "We are looking for pictures, notes, or poems Another new program is called "Where's Norm?" Students can win prizes from retrieving lava lamps hidden around campus and returning them to 210 Whichard.

"Mary Jo Bratton was a very fair minded, wonderful woman said Bodo Nischan, chair of the History Department. "(She was an excellent scholar Since 1967, Bratton had been a faculty member of the Department of History. In addition to the time she spent teaching, she was the director of graduate studies in the History Department from 1986 to 1989. Bratton also served as the acting chair of the department from 1992 to 1994. She retired in 1995. "Bratton was always friendly, fair, and on the ball history pro- fessor Mike Palmer said. In 1980 Bratton was delegated by ECU to write the school's first official history. East Carolina University: The Formative Years, 1907-1982, was published in 1986. In 1997, Bratton helped to write a summarized history of the universi- ty for a booklet celebrating ECU's 90th anniversary. Bratton had received awards and fellowships for her articles and papers examining the histo- ry, culture, and soci- ety of the South. "Bratton con- tributed a great amount to ECU over the years Nischan said. Bratton was born in Bluefield, West Virginia in 1926. Her parents were Thomas Josiah and Irene McKinstry Jackson. She completed her undergraduate degrees at Montreal College and Virginia Polytechnic Institute. She received a master's degree and a doctorate at UNC-Chapel Hill. Bratton is survived by her children Jack, Jess, and Katherine. Alcohol continued from page 1 publicized this week in campus computer labs. ECU was one of 50 schools as a trial site last year and students here helped develop the program which Walsh describes as "interactive and fun Forms will be available in Mendenhall and the Student Recreation Center for students to pledge not to drink on Halloween night. Also available will be the Safe Halloween Pledge during Midnight Madness at Mendenhall on Saturday night from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. Midnight Madness is an alco- hol-free alternative offered which will include food, beverages, and games. Coinciding with Alcohol Awareness Week is the delivery of drug and alcohol awareness booklets to the residence halls. Core surveys have shown that 74 percent of students believe their peers drink three times a week, when in actuality only 17 percent arc reported drinking that often. "We are trying to tell the stu- dents what is really happening at ECU Walsh said.

She has also been active in the community, volunteering at the New Directions Shelter, My Sister's Closet and the Little Willie Center. She plans to attend graduate school to study family therapy. "Tytishia has shown her skills in the leadership since her arrival at the university Benson-Clayton said. "She was a transfer student and had to transition during her first semester here. But after the semester she flourished as an acad- emic and a leader. The first semes- ter she concentrated on grades and made academics a priority. The second semester she was able to build a solid GPA that she used to branch out to other organizations. Ty is not only active on campus but also in various committees and institutions According to Benson-Clayton, Wright built a comprehensive pro- gram on campus to serve and sup- port the blacks at ECU.

GraarMk. ?�6H3S3 Ioi intormsiKni, call K2.3�e366- oumsw We've all had that one teacher who truly inspires, the one who pushes you to expand your limits and find a passion for learning. We've also all had professors that flat-out don't do their job. Whether they fail everyone who walks through the door or ignore the needs of their students, they don't deserve to be at the head of a classroom. As students, we have the means to affect the world around us. At the end of each semester, we are given forms to evaluate our teachers. Unfortunately, many students look at these forms as little more than another chore to do. Often, we rush right through evaluations without giving them the attention they need and justify it by saying, "It doesn't really matter what I say Some feel that evaluation forms are another rubber stamp ECU hands out. Actually, the opinions students express weigh heavily when a professor comes up for tenure. If you think you have the professor from hell, speak up! If he or she is really that bad, others will feel the same way and the powers that be will wake up and take another look. Now that midterms are over, we should begin to give a little advance thought to these matters. Are you happy with the way your classes are being taught? If not, is it honestly because of faults of the teacher? If that's what it is, by all means, say so. However, back up what you say with reasons besides, "Man, this guy sucks There is a space on the form for written comments and while it is not required it is importnat. If you put plenty of reasons behind your scores of "1 people will begin to take notice. If you don't give them any , reasons, do you expect the people who look at the forms to pay attention? They won't take ; you seriously if you don't take them seriously. Members of the younger classes won't remember this, but the evaluation forms used to be a lot less specific. The written portions were only added after people complained that they weren't detailed enough. If the written parts are just left blank, what good was adding them? TEC would like to encourage the administration to make the written portion mandatory too. SGAs at some schools publish results of teacher evaluations for the students. An index of each professor would be valuable for us. Rather than relying on hearsay when it comes time to choose next semester's teachers, we could see what past classes have had to say. Many of us are putting ourselves into years of debt for this school. It's only reasonable to want to make the most informed choice possible. OPINION Marvelle Sullivan Notification laws not needed Parental notification is a measure taken by the law in regard to juvenile offenses. Therefore, also allowing universities to implement this measure is suggesting that a college student is not an adult and should be treated accordingly. A law, proposed by John Warner of Virginia, if passed will give universities (among other institutions) the right to notify parents of students who commit alcohol and drug violations. The proposal's aim is to deter under- age drinking and drug offenses that supposedly run rampant on campuses around the country. Lawmakers feel that the threat of parental notification will compel students to "reconsider" before taking any actions deemed criminal by the university codes of conduct. While the proposal may be a well-intended attempt to curb student alcohol and drug use, it is certainly not a very well thought- out deterrent. A college student is an adult. Whether or not he or she is a mature adult is not the issue. Part of college life (and any post- high-shool graduation path) is the slow but sure attainment of responsibility and accountability. To notify parents at every offense most assuredly impedes the student's capability to deal with the consequences of his or her actions, i.e. breaking the law. Parental notification is a measure taken by the law in regard to juvenile offenses. Therefore, also allowing universities to implement this measure is suggesting that a college student is not an adult and should be treated accordingly. This is a very dangerous concept that could be used in other areas that would prove to be very detrimental to students everywhere. Another very important issue is privacy. Since a student is legally an adult, not to mention a citizen of the United States, there are certain rights which are "inalienable Students have a right to privacy in the personal, medical AND legal matters that pertain to them. To inform anyone (even if it is a parent) of such matters is a direct violation of that privacy. It is understandable that universities and lawmakers become very frustrated with student alcohol and drug violations, and hence, search for any way to curb these offenses. However it is not understandable that any entity would forgo common sense to accomplish this. When an individual can serve in a war and vote for a president, then surely this same individual can choose what personal information to tell his or her parents. Whether university administrators, lawmakers, or police agree or feel that it is in the individual's best interest is a non-issue. Essentially, the university's parenting of students and violating their privacy (and thus violating a basic principle of our country) will eventually do more harm than good. So, the adoption of this policy, if it is indeed passed, would be an unconscionable short and long-term mistake. "Chance favors the prepared mind Louis Pasteur Scientist OPINION Columnist Stephen Kleinschmit NBA strike reveals poor sports? First of all, they want more money. That is fine. But the players want to have partial ownership of the teams. Well guess what. Owners are the bosses, and players are the employees. The NBA strike has to be the stupidest thing I have seen in a long time. In a country where we view our sports stars as "heroes our children's so called role models have decided to sell themselves, and their fans out, so they can make even more money. Here arc sonic of the things that annoy me about the player's demands. First of all, they want more money. That is fine. But the players want to have partial ownership of the teams. Well guess what. Owners are the bosses, and players are the employees. They have agreed to work for their boss, and they get paid well. The player's demands have gone above plain fairness, and that's why the owners won't accept their demands. Second, they want to be paid during the strike. I'm glad the judge told them hell no. These little pretty boys want to have their cake and eat it too, and it's not fair to the fans and the owners. I leek, they even have the super rich Michael Jordan negotiating for themwhen he's not on TV lying about how much he likes MCI or Rayovac batteries. Doesn't it annoy you that someone who makes almost -�inety million a year in salary and endorsements is telling their fans that they're not being paid enough? Finally, the players have even ; speculated about forming their j own league. Well I am sure that a I league led by money grubbing, ' inconsiderate, Latreile Sprewell j and Dennis Rodman wannabes ' would be a whole lot better than the way it is now (sarcasm). I'm sure that if this would happen, basketball would become a spectacle, instead of a sportpretty much like � professional wrestling with a ball. j I think I'll probably stick to the C NCAA games from now on. They ; seem to like to play, regardless ; of money. OPINION Ryan Kennermur Space program mostly hype And yes, there was that Astronaut Ice Cream stuff. It was a good marketing idea, to be honest. Charge three bucks a pop for a brick of Neapolitan chalk and watch the kids go ape poop. This time, I'm gonna talk about the nation's space program, and what's going on with it. For starters, I don't like the space program. I like the idea of it; I just don't really see any advances coming from it. The only really useful thing that NASA ever brought typical Americans was Velcro. You're probably thinking, "But Ryan-Dogg! What about Tang?" Well, here's the skinny on Tang. It is a dehydrated orange beverage that became famous because it was part of the diet of those guys who landed on the moon. When it came out in the early 70s, people flocked to their local markets and bought it by the metric ton, never giving a thought to the fact that it didn't taste particularly good, and it caused something that rhymes with "miarhhea And yes, there was that Astronaut Ice Cream stuff. It was a good marketing idea, to be honest. Charge three bucks a pop for a brick of Neapolitan chalk and watch the kids go ape poop. But aside of the useless products we have, and that's including the Hubble Telescope, they still can't seem to capture our attention like they did with the moon landing. They even have that channel on television- you know the one. It consists of slow-moving shots of the earth, back and forth. It's like the Kennedy assassination tape, only it lasts a few light-years longer. Boring photos plus no sound multiplied by the American attention span equals "nobody cares The least they can do is interrupt the silence with a random alien popping up and threatening to destroy the universe. But no! Instead, to boost their popularity, they are instilling the presence of Senator John Glenn. As you may know, he was the first man in orbit.

But, do not fear, there are many places on campus to help the struggling student. The Academic Support Center recommends workshops as the first step to building a better academic career. They offer workshops dealing with such areas as academic moti- vation, career exploration, note-taking strategies, reading for comprehension, stress management, test anxiety, test- taking strategies, and time management The Center for Counseling and Student Development offers workshops on "Becoming a Successful Student" and "Academic Motivation Both help students explore how to better their academic performance. "The academic motivation workshop is especially important said Dr. Nancy Badger of the Center for Counseling and Student Development. "A lot of students can get tired and give up on school The times and places of Academic Support Center work- shops can be picked up at B103 Brewster Building. Workshops provided by Student Development take place on Mondays and Tuesdays starting in November.

Students who feel completely at a loss on what to do may attend counseling sessions. These include individual and group sessions. Call the Center for Counseling and Student Development at 328-6661 for more information. Another option available to students is tutoring. "We have tutors mostly for freshmen and sophomore classes said Marsha Lassiter, tutor.

A way to help improve studying for a class is to simply talk with the professor. "Just ask the professor about his or her tests and how you should study for them said Don Joyner, assistant dean of Undergraduate Studies. "Teachers can be creatures of habit, just by looking at your past tests, you should be able to figure out what your final will look like In the end though, it is up to the students themselves to study. There are many tips on how to study that everyone can do. When reading or studying for a class, try to take a break every fifty minutes. This helps retain information. It is also important to set priorities about one's life. This can help students maintain a balance between work, study and fun. A handout from the Office of Undergraduate Studies states, "Make social interactions a part of your life, not you life Before it becomes too late, one should always keep a eye on their grade point average before it falls too low. At the end of the semester, there might be a stamp signify- ing an academic warning, or worse, academic probation on your report card. For those students (including transfer stu- dents) who have attempted 8-31 semester hours, a 1.35 GPA is needed. If completing 32-63 hours, a GPA equal of higher to 1.6 is needed to avoid academic probation. An 1.8 GPA is need for 64-95 hours and an 1.9 GPA for 96 or SEE STUDYING.

Dry SENIOR WRITER Even though the winter season is quickly approaching, many ECU students are striving to maintain healthy and fit. They do so by using exercise, such as running or walking on and around campus. While keeping in shape, stu- dents must also strive to keep safe. According to Tom Younce, assis- ;tant director of the ECU police department, the campus area is a relatively good one, but students still need to be aware of what is going on around them. Younce also said that the best ' place to exercise is at the Student Recreation Center. "I encourage students to exer- cise at the rec center Younce said. They have an incredible facility Students often exercise in the areas surrounding campus PHOTO BY MARC CRIPPEN that students can take advantage of If you cannot make it to the rec center and you have to exercise around your apartment complex or residence halls, there are measures you can take to keep safe in different cir- cumstances. , "If you plan on running in the evenings, wear reflective clothing Younce said.

Hold on to your blue suede shoes because tonight the Arkansas Repertory Theatre presents Idols of the King at 8 p.m. in the Wright Auditorium. Written by Ronnie Claire Edwards and Allen Crowe, this per- formance began touring in early September. The show started in Arkansas, where it ran very success- fully, and continued doing well on its 28 state tour. Their last stop will be in Ponoma, NJ on November 13. The musical is more about the fans than it is about the King him- self. "It's about Elvis' devoted fans who worshiped himsaid Carol Woodruff, marketing director of the department of University Unions. "Some might call them loony, but it's a comical view of the fans' devotion The cast con- sists of three peo- ple: Kevin Bartlet, Dale Dickey and Lance Zitron. Bartlet and Dickey portray the many fans of Elvis� some funny, others touching, all obsessed. "To name a couple, there is a motorcyclist and his ditzy girlfriend who are hitchhiking Woodruff said. "The girlfriend would like to write songs for Elvis. There's also an older couple who have placed their toilet on display because Elvis used it once Between the scenes, Lance Zitron, the Elvis impersonator and accomplished actor, recreates many of the King's popular songs such as Love Me Tender, Blue Suede Shoes, Jailhouse Rock, and Return to Sender. He will be accompanied Show begins at 8 p.m. in Wright Auditorium, Tuesday Oct. 27. PHOTO COURTESY OF THEATRE ARTS by a live four-piece band. Zitron will then place the icing on the cake for all Presley fans dur- ing the grand finale. "Zitron will end the show wear- ing the legendary white sequined jumpsuit and cape, singing some of the King's greatest hits Woodruff said. According to Woodruff, even those who aren't die-hard Elvis fans will find this performance to be quite an experience. "This production should sell out wherever it goes Woodruff said.

The more congested they are, the higher the chances are of having an accident. "I discourage people to run on such streets as 10th and 5th because of all the traffic Younce said. Also, there is always safety in numbers. If possible, a workout partner is a good idea because you can watch out for one another. If you do not have people to work out with, be sure to let someone know your whereabouts. "Inform someone of your exer- cising plans as far as where you're going to be, how long you're going to be there, and when you plan on returning Younce said. If you plan on jogging around campus and you feel unsafe, the blue lights that are strategically places throughout campus are there for your use. The blue lights arc an excellent tool to use if one feels that they arc being followed Younce said. Even if you can not speak into the call box, the ECU police will know exactly where you are by the blue light you have pressed. Younce said if you arc joggingwalking off campus and you feel unsafe, go to a well-lit, well-populated area. Another thing to look out for is loose animals. It's quite intimidat- ing when you're jogging down the street and a dog comes out of nowhere. You can never be too sure if the dog is friendly or if it wants to take a bite out of your leg. In situa- tions like these, it's best not to panic. "If you were jogging and you approach an animal, stop said Brenda Tripp, an animal control officer. "Running away will only increase the animal's prey drive Tripp said telling the animal "NO in a firm voice as they come toward you will also help prevent the dog from coming after you. Also, if you see an animal loose in the same area on more than one occasion, there are things you can do. "If you have a routine exercise route and you see a dog in that area frequently, call the Animal Control Center and we'll come and check the situation out Tripp said.

Scott Wilson picked up what is now called "Lucy in the Field with Flowers" five years ago and gave it to his friend. Jerry Reilly was taken by the painting's extreme clash of sub- ject, proportion and color and, fate- fully, asked for more. Now, he is executive director of The Museum of Bad Art in Boston, which owns more than 200 irresistibly awful pieces of art, 90 of which can be seen until Oct. 17 at The Ellipse Arts Center.

The loss dropped ECU's record to 4-3 overall, and 1-1 in Conference USA. ECU must win its last four conference games to have a shot at a bowl game. C- USA has tie-ins with two bowls, sending its champion to the Liberty Bowl and a second team to the Humanitarian Bowl. As it stands now, Tulane and Southern Missippi are in line to take those spots. Since Tulane and ECU do not play this year, there was talk from Liberty Bowl organizers that the two schools would meet in Memphis if both went undefeat- ed in conference play. Southern Missippi made sure that didn't happen, now the Pirates need to win out and hope someone in C- USA upsets one of the top two teams. ECU got off to a fast start against the Golden Eagles, with a nine-play 76-yard opening drive. Freshman running back Leonard Henry ended the drive with a 17- yard touchdown run, the first of his career. "Scoring my first college touchdown against an opposing team like Southern Missippi, it was a real big thing Henry said. "I was hoping I would get back in there again, but didn't. It was a real big moment for me. I will never in my life forget it Unfortunately for the Pirates, their fast start didn't last. Southern Missippi scored 41 unanswered points, beginning with Eddie Shaw's 54-yard punt return for a touchdown. Shaw's return was the latest special teams breakdown for the Pirates. ECU head coach Steve Logan said up until Shaw's return his team had preformed well on punt coverage. "That was the number seven punt team in the nation that we SEE FOOTBALL.

This event marked the first dual meet of the season for the Pirates and they won six events against the Eagles. Head coach Rick Kobe was very proud of the Pirate's effort on Saturday. "The women were able to dominate from the start and get the season off on the right foot Kobe said. Dana Fuller won the first indi- vidual victory of the season in the 1000-meter freestyle with a time of 10:27.66. Soon after Hollie Butler took the very next victory when she won the 200-meter freestyle in a time of 1:56.35. Butler also took the 500 free in 5:10.12 for her second victory. A piece of ECU history was also set in stone on Saturday as freshman Courtney Foster won the 50-meter freestyle with a time of 24.81. This time marks the fifth fastest time in the history of the event for women's swimming at ECU. Foster also won the 100- meter freestyle in 53.87 which falls seventh on the ECU all-time list. The men's com- petition was a much clos- er match-up but the Pirate men could not top the Eagles and Rick Kobe dropped head swimming coach their season opener 123- 117. "The guys lost a fiercely fought battle but remained close till the end Kobe said. Andy Byrnes took the first win for the Pirates in the 50-meter freestyle with a time of 21.79. Adam Gaffey, a last year college national champion set a time of 9:39.36 in the 1000-meter freestyle which ranks fourth on ECU's all-time charts. On Sunday both teams saw repeat performances at James Madison. The Lady Pirates won their second meet in a row while the men lost their second straight to the Dukes. For the women, Butler had "The women were able to dominate from the start and get the season off on the right foot Rick Kobe Head Swimming Coach two victories with wins in the 200 and 100-meter freestyles. Also Brooke Wise presented a winning time of 2:11.95 in the 200-meter butterfly. Another mark was made in the books on Sunday with freshman Heather Hagedorn winning the 200-mctcr backstroke event with a time of 1:06.80 which is the sec- ond-fastest in ECU history. ECU also posted a win in div- ing with freshman Jessica Hunt scoring 216.98 on the 1-meter board. ECU's men scored seven vic- tories on the day but it just was not enough as JMU defeated the Pirates in a very close meet. Adam Gaffey had two victories of his own winning the 1000- meter freestyle and the 200- meter freestyle. Richard Chen, Josh Ltpree and Paul Pinther also had individual victories for the ECU men. The diving team swept the competition as Willy Hayes and Ryan Baldwin both posted wins against the Dukes on Sunday. Kobe was once again pleased with both teams on Sunday. "We are pleased with where we are at right now and have to get ready for another tough two meets next week Kobe said.

I Anne Svae was able to get a number one seed and a bye for the first round on Friday. She won her second-round match against Georgia State's Nina Jansen, 6-3, 6-0. Later that day, she won against Charleston Southern's Julie Harnios, 6-2, 6-3. "I had a lot of confidence going into this tournament Svae said. "I have been playing real good tennis lately Catherine Morgan lost her first-round match against Georgia State's Jovana Kriskapa, 6-3, 6-1 on Friday morning. She was able to bounce back later that day and beat Morehead State's Amy Haybarker, 6-1, 6-0, in her conso- lation match. Meredith Spears defeated Campbell's Megan Cannon, 6-1, 6-1, on Friday before falling to Georgia State's Kristina Jensen, 6- 1, 6-2.

"When you play nationally known teams you get a great deal more national publicity Henry VanSant, assistant athletics direc- tor, said. "You're on ESPN score- board, you're on ABC scoreboard Playing against bigger competi- tion not only helps ECU's name grow, but it also helps the universi- ty's pocketbook. People are more likely to buy tickets to see nation- ally known teams. "Look at the attendance for last Saturday's game against Army, which is certainly a nationally known team, and you see the dif- ference between that and what we do against UT-Chattanooga VanSant said. Football is not the only sport that feels these effects. All the sports share in this, especially bas- ketball. The Pirate basketball team also receives a lot of coverage when it plays nationally known teams. ECU's track team has played many nationally known teams such as Nebraska, and traveled to other meets with national powers. This high-profile competition also helps recruiting. "Playing these nationally known teams helps in recruiting VanSant said. "All your top athletes want to play against these national- ly known teams While ECU has played many nationally known teams in the past, it is currently adding more top teams to the lineup. The baseball schedule for this year reflects this with teams like N.C. State, Wake Forest, North Carolina and Ohio SEE NAMES.

After falling behind early against the William and Mary Tribe, the team rallied behind the play of Lucinda Mason who helped the Pirates claw back into it before eventually losing the first match 15-9. The inspired play of Tara Tobias and Ellen Gazdowicz, who recorded 12 kills and 12 assists, led the Tribe to a 15-10 vic- tory in the second match. In the third'match ECU came out strong, led by the play of Clinta Claro who recorded 12 kills in the game, but the Pirates weren't able to over- come the strong defense of the Tribe, eventually losing 15-10. The Pirates turned it all around on Saturday with an impressive straight game win over the VCU Rams snapping a three-match con- ference losing streak in the process. "After Friday's loss to William and Mary, I told the athlete's to just wash it out of their minds, put it behind them head coach Kim Walker said. "Apparently they did that. We came out aggressively and made better decisions Claro continued her strong play, helping lead the Pirates to an early 7-0 lead in the first game before taking the game 15-9. The Pirates continued to pound the ball by ral- lying to a 15-10 win in the second game. In the third ECU pulled away from a 9-9 tie late in the game with the help of Mason whose ser- vice ace broke the tie. From that point on the Pirates never looked back, scoring five of the last six points to take the game 15-10. "These athletes decided to for- get what has happened in the past and looked almost unstoppable Walker said. Mason paced the team, finish- ing with nine kills, three aces, five digs and five blocks. Shannon Kaess also contributed heavily to the team's strong play, adding eight kills and nine digs. The split leaves ECU with a 9- 13 record overall and a 3-5 CAA record. The squad takes the court next Friday, traveling to Baltimore, MD to take on Morgan State. The Pirates then return to conference action with an away match against James Madison on Saturday, Oct. 31.

"We had preformed beautifully all year long, we've been coached well. It wasn't a great run, it didn't need to be a great run, there was no contain. We've just got to go back and reemphasize it again Against Southern Missippi, ECU was flagged for holding on four straight kickoff returns, leaving the offense with terrible field position for most of the game. Junior wide- out LaMont Chappell was called on to return kicks against Southern Missippi but had several returns brought back because of penalties. Southern Missippi freshman Derrick Nix led all rushers with 116 yards on 27 carries and scored two touchdowns. Junior linebacker Jeff Kerr said Nix was as good as adver- tised. Kerr returned to the Pirate line up after Missippiing the Alabama game with a concussion. While Ken- was glad to be back on the field, he said he was disappointed with the way the game unfolded. "It's just sickening to us, really Kerr said. "We know that we're a lot better defense than what played last week. We've just got to come up with the plays Logan said making plays turned out to be the difference in the game. "The score is not indicative of the difference in the programs Logan said.

This year the Pirate football program is continuing to dive into huge competition with teams like Alabama, and will lock horns in the future with other nationally known teams such as Duke, North Carolina at Chapel Hill, N.C. State and Miami. "Our schedule is getting more nationally competitive each year VanSant said. "It's important for all our sports to play strong, nationally known teams. If you really want to be good, you have to play good teams Kriskapa and Jensen. The other doubles team of Spears and Terrill lost in the first round to Coastal Carolina's Rominc and Jenny Clack. Both Spears and Tcrrill were done for the tournament. "Catherine stepped up and played real well Svae said.

She was able to then hold off Hampton's Christina Ferreira, 6-4,6-4, to win the cham- pionship match. "Kidd played a different style of game that I was not ready for Svae said.

You're facing a dilemma. Spending a cold Halloween night downtown dealing with masses of overzealous and possibly intoxicated souls is a scary prospect. Then again, the thought of a quiet night at home on Halloween is a drag. What's a fun-loving student like you to do? Why not join 2,000-3,000 students and guests and come into Mendenhall on this night? Midnight Madness, sponsored by the Division of Student Life, offers a free Halloween bash that's full of stuff to do, free food, free entertainment, free novelty attractions, and free giveaways. There will be plenty of chances to win cash prizes, either by winning at the costume contest or Bingo.

Forget the hassle of trick-or-treating for free food! ECU Dining Services is offering the perfect Halloween menu to satisfy any sweet tooth. Join other ghosts and goblins at Midnight Madness for free candy apples, cotton candy, snow cones, popcorn, and peanuts. From 11 p.m. -1 a.m. Mendenhall will serve a Midnight Breakfast Buffet.

Wednesday, October 28.1998 Christopher Salerno Staff Writer Halloween is afoot in the Emerald City and it just may be the most anticipated social event on the ECU party calender. Downtown streets are shut down to cars while the people min- gle freely, masquerading through the bowery and passing through the bars. The open-street atmosphere makes it easy for those in costume to see and meet their fellow freaks as they wind their way through the crowd. The downtown Halloween ceremonies have taken some beat- ings in the past. A bad rap wasn't even the worst of it. Crowds who refused to go home when asked by police were maced until they left Much of the added commotion and festivity is due to the area's sudden Halloween population surge. People come from the ends of the earth for a taste of the ECU Halloween street spectacular. Every corner of your house ends up slept in. Your cousin and his next door neighbor from Hoboken pass out, smearing clown make-up on the kitchen floor tiles. Your roommate decide to have a late- night gathering for all the people he found dressed as Alice from the Brady Bunch. Costumes are very important for Pirates with spirit. The latest trends in television and scandal, along with the old standbys, are among what will be seen this year on the scene.

They spawned from the now extinct country-rock pioneer band called Uncle Tupelo, which disbanded in the early 90s. Jay Farrar (now thesongwriterlcad singer of Son Volt) worked in col- laboration with Jeff Tweedy to pro- duce four almost equally brilliant records, picking up hordes of fans spanning the country. Then, in 1993, following the release of their finest album enti- tled Anodyne, Farrar shrugged his shoulders and left the band high and dry, causing them to split up and head down separate roads. Tweedy went on to form the criti- cally praised rock outfit Wilco, while Farrar set up his stakes with Son Volt. When Son Volt put out their first album, Trace, many found it to be everything they could hope for. Its delicious blend of hard rocking riffs and slow acoustic gems was alluring. Then, in 1997, the band followed up with the record Straightaways. This album was basically a continuation of Trace, but it didn't do anything to expand on the sound, and thus was widely considered a disappointment. Some started to wonder if Farrar had run out of ideas. Well, some people should quit their wondering and go pick up the new disk Wide Swing Tremolo. Son Volt is back in full force, and this is shown quite clearly from the start with their opening track "StraightfaceThe song is a flat- out rocker, complete with loud crunching guitars and harshly dis- torted vocals. This leads us into the next song "Driving the View which has the words "underground hit single" written all over it. It has a lovely melody, and the harmonies provid- ed by bassist Jim Boquist arc possi- bly the most consistently perfect in the country rock genre. Indeed, these first couple songs are a more hyped-up side of Son Volt than most of us have ever heard, which brings us to the third songJodel Jodel is the biggest waste of space I have ever listened to. It is 41 seconds of off-key harmonica, and that is putting it nicely. I hate it. This song is the sole reason for this album not getting 10 out of 10. It's that bad. I'd feel more comfortable listening to a swarm of 17-year cicadas climaxing with one unify- ing yet piercing screech. Nope, "Jodel" is not a good song.

Caleb Rose Assistant Editor ju Peasant's Cafe was host rJKfJnf to 'in adventure two BL Saturdays ago when Richmond Virginia's Cashmere Jungle Lords propelled a packed house into their own little world of Pulp music. Imagine yourself buying a-tkket for a trip to various places around the world. That is the experienced in 2 hours upon seeing this fantastic trio. The unique style of music the Jungle Lords produce could be the soundtrack to this adventure. After the opening band, � Greenville's own King Monkey, began the evening with fueled Rockabilly and excessive consump- tion of Pabst Blue Ribbon, the Cashmere Jungle Lords took the stage and made sure everyone's seat belts were buckled before the adven- ture began. After several introductory tunes, the band hopped into a vintage Jaguar and went on a spy hunt as they plowed through "Paradise from their disc titled Southern Barber Supply, as well as "Pixie Dust also from the album. The spy hunt ended at the beach and it was time to go surfing. A slew of surfin' songs filled the ears of the crowd, among them the album track "Sweeper At night on the beach when all is peaceful, it's pleasant to hear Caribbean sounds fill the air. The band took a chance with these differently flavored songs, noting that this was one of the first times that they had been played to the public. Much to the band's surprise, the tunes were a hit and with their closing, the beach adventure was over. Once the Caribbean cruise had landed, the "peasants" in the audi- ence found themselves on the bor- der of Texas and Mexico listening to "Fernando a tune named after the name singersongwriter Dominic See Lords continued on page 7 Its Your Place For Midnight Madness SATURDAY.

You've got a new butt to kiss! That's right, kids. Dreamworks INC. picks up where they left off with Small Soldiers and make it a one-two punch with the release of their newest animated masterpiece, Antz. Let's begin with the understanding that this is not a movie for kids. There are a few curse words (which added to my enjoyment), a giant army-style fight scene that depicts soldier ants being melted by acid-spewing termites, and ants are burnt to cinders by a human with a magnifying glass. Pretty hardcore imagery. The movie centers around one work- er ant named Z-4195, voiced by neurotic Unfortunately, the entire cast was wiped out when the best boy spilled 8 beer at the cast party. Woody Allen, who is under the impres- sion that there is more to life than mov- ing dirt from place to place. Likewise is Princess Bala, voiced by Sharon Stone, who is being forced to marry General Mandible (Gene Hackman) against her wishes. Mandible, along with the aid of Colonel Cutler (Christopher Walken) plans to eliminate all the worker ants by drowning them, thus making a supreme society of soldier ants. Other notable roles are Sly Stallone as a soldier ant that falls for a worker ant, voiced by Jennifer Lopez. Also Dan Aykroyd and Jane Curtin play some very WASPish wasps. That's the basic introduction, but there's more to the story that meets the eye. This movie is more than just an excuse to make another cartoon using Toy Srory-esquc animations. Antz has political statements out the wazoo. In fact, it would be a good idea to go out and read Anthem by Ayn Rand before viewing it. Themes of socialism run amok in almost every scene. First of all, the newborn ants (in lar- vae form) arc immediately set in front of a committee and deemed whether they are suited to be workers, in which case they arc given a pickax, or soldiers, in which case they are given a helmet. Secondly, the ants are not allowed to think for themselves. They are so used to doing nothing but work that they actual- ly enjoy it and ask no questions. They arc told when to dance, when to sleep, and anyone that defers from the norm is punished. By the end of the film, however, Z- 4195 is able to overcome the elements and reform the entire commune. The animation during the final scene is so realistic, you can actually see the social- ism crumbling down to the ground. Antz is a miniature view of our own society, and the fact that it can poke fun at it is reason enough to see it. Like the tag line of the movie states, "Every ant has his day Let's hope that these partic- ular ants have more than just one day in the sun, for these insect stars will be shining for years to come. become a mem Launch your organization into cyberspace r. www. clubhouse acu.edu Sun Volt, continued from page 2 minds, they follow up with "Medicine Hat which is a catchy albeit lyrically confusing little ditty, and possibly the best song on the disk. The remainder of the disk is just as strong, mixing the usual spellbind- ingly beautiful hard-road ballads with the crunchy guitar-fueled rockers that Son Volt fans have come to appreciate. It's like their other albums, only better. On the opening track, Farrar sings of carrying in a new day.

Yeah, but it's a prom movie, you say. I know, I know. There's no excuse. Butjusthearmeout There's something about the lo-fi filming style, unrelenting carnage and utter chaos in Brian DePalma's 1976 film version of Stephen King's first literary success that gives it a permanent standing above any other film of its kind since. Many have tried, and failed, to make prom night into such a terrifying experi- ence onscreen. King's formula is simple enough: take one girl with groovy telekinetic powers, add a psycho mom and a horde of loudmouthed high-school kids who hate her guts. Shake well, and serve with a splash of pig's blood, heh-heh.

The Ghoul Cafe, Mendenhall's haunted house, has been replaced this year with Evil Landing which will be held in the social room. All people involved are keeping a tight lip as to what will be going on in the haunted house. All that has been said is that aliens will be involved� -the rest is top secret. The last new addition is the vir- tual reality Nascar ride. According to Woodruff there will be four cars set up with a grandstand set up around See Madness, continued on page 7 For a good time caU the ECU Student Union Hotline at 252.328.6004. or visit our website at www.ecu.edustudentunion.

Her other hobbies include sewing, singing and self-fla- gellating, plus ignoring and generally repressing the delicate Carrie in a house heavy with dark wood and religious art. Well, our heroine enjoys the same warm companionship and good times at school too, as if that were a surprise. After joining an attack on Carrie with tampons in a locker room in the opening sequence, one girl feels guilty and gets her boyfriend, a puffy-haired jock with GOOD GUY stamped across his fore- head, to ask Carrie to the prom and show her a good time. Can we skip the rest of the movie and go straight to prom night, please?! (Why yes, that is John Travolta with a bucket of pig's blood. Now hush up.) Carrie gets herself all duded up in a gorgeous petal pink satin gown she made herself, and naturally her mom has to try to screw things up. "I can see your dirty pillows she says, just to keep things light. "They're called breasts, Mama, and every woman has them Carrie answers. Smart comeback. Did you ace rhetoric last semester? So she takes off for the prom, which is charmingly crammed into the school gym, not knowing of a fiendish plot (involving Travolta and the aforementioned bucket o' pig's blood) to embarrass her in front of the school. DePalma, in his wisdom, saves all the best stuff for last. Once you've seen Carrie's terrifying face streaked with pig's blood, eyes bulging, body tensed, damnation oozing from every pore, you'll never forget it. The scene brands like a hot iron. Carrie snaps the gym doors shut with a telekinetic blast, leaving her- self plenty of time to leisurely extract the vengeance for which a million tortured, misunderstood high school girls' souls have cried out since time began: total, brutal, indiscriminate and full of neat pyrotechnics. 'Nuffsaid. Lords, continued from page 2 Carpin's girlfriend was mumbling in her sleep one day. Carpin makes a point to dictate stories behind the songs, a good habit for any tour- guide. Many of the non-album tunes had this Tex-Mex feel to them, mainly because of Carpin's Mexican ancestry. Don't forget your roots. Finally, we flew out to California to try out the movie business. Carpin sings in the first line of "Mr. Melrose Avcl wanna be a Hollywood movie star If this is true, he should consider sticking to his night job as a musician because the Cashmere Jungle Lords have a unique gift in delivering such a solid Halloween, continued from page t traditional presidential mask, Bill is depicted with tongue hanging out and lipstick kisses all over his blush- ing face. Other popular cos- tumes include Southpark, � Batman and, in keeping with school spirit, the Pirate. Also Zorro, with its basic costume, is a popular choice among low- maintenance guys. "We've sold tons of Pirate stuff because of the home football game that dayl'said Tortorella. "Ninety percent of the customers have been college students Surely we'll see our share of crazy couples this Halloween, like service with a smirk guys with hairy chest wigs and girlfriends with pitchforks to stick them with. Of course, cross-dressing also runs rampant on this night, and not just in designat- ed situations, either. "Girls are buying everything sexy, like French Maids and Sexy Nurse costumessaid Myra Smith.owner of Party Success. Around the store fishnet stockings and sex kitten outfits hang among Hey! How d Bob Dole gel in? the traditional Zorros and Freddy Kruger cos- tumes. "We try and push people to create original costumes said Michael Gwaltney, who does the design work for Party Makers. "Some people arc spending 50 or 60 dollars But the bottom line is that it's not the price that counts on Halloween, but how many people you can scare.
