Creator of Sonic Plaza speaks
about four main components
Planning, construction
completed after seven years
S I s i: M 11. k K i;v icm
S I'M?? WHITER
The construction of Sonic Plaza was recent-
ly completed after seven years of planning.
It will be dedicated and turned over to ECU
on Dec. 11, after it undergoes a test period to
make sure that all the components are oper-
ating as planned.
"The plaza will be monitored over the
next couple months to let it settle in the
creator of Sonic Plaza, Christopher Janney,
said.
Sonic Plaza began as an idea in 1991
when YXV decided to renovate Joyner
Library. The building committee held a
national public art competition to determine
who would help to plan and create the plaza.
After interviewing the top five candidates,
the committee selected Christopher Janney.
Janney has art in public spaces at the Boston
Children's Museum, Miami Dade
International Airport, and in New York City
and Paris subway systems.
According to Janney, the project cost
about $110,000, but a lot of funding was
donated by large corporations.
Sonic Plaza consists of four components,
the Sonic Gates, the Percussive Water Wall,
the Media Glckenspiel and the Ground
Cloud Well. The four parts are designed to
be a laboratory for experimentation in the art
program. Students in visual arts, media,
music and performance will be able to create
temporary works for the components under
faculty supervision.
"The plaza will be monitored over the
next couple months to let it settle in
Christopher Janey
Sonic Plaa Creator
The Sonic Gates are classical columns
located at the north entrance of the plaza.
The columns contain computerized electric
cells that produce sound images when peo-
ple pass through. The sound images contin-
uously change in pitch and timbre creating
different sounds.
"By using technology we bring a sense of
performance to architecture Janney said.
The Percussive Water Wall is made up of
64 water jets that play ever-changing pat-
terns of water mist. The series were creat-
ed by Janney but students in the music
department will have the opportunity to
create other patterns that may also be
used. The Media Glckenspiel is a clock
tower that chimes every hour and is
inspired by other international clock tow-
ers. The tower has a ring of television
monitors that run graphics patterns from
sunset to sunrise. The graphics are the
designs of Janney and students in the
School of Arts. The media arts department
will be able to use this for a project so that
students can create their own graphics that
will be temporarily displayed throughout
the year.
Surrounding of the ring of monitors
there is a ring that shows different times of
the year. Twelve letters around the ring
represent the months of the year.
In the center of the circle there is a door
that opens up four times a day to reveal a
sculpture accompanied by a soundtrack.
The Ground Cloud Well is the fourth
component of the project. Mist rises from
underground and is blown by the wind.
"A special characteristic about Sonic
Plaza is that it changes personality
throughout the course of the day Janney
said.

The cases of cocaine use may be increasing
among students, however ECU has been able
to find very few cases of abuse on campus. In a
1997 survey conducted by ECU officials, 92
percent of students surveyed claim they have
never done cocaine. In the eight percent that do use cocaine
however, six percent started between the ages of 18-25.
Marie Antineau, associate dean of students, says that ECU
has had very little problem with cocaine in the dorms or on
campus.
"Less than one percent of students were arrested for
cocaine possessions in the dorms last year and so far there have
been no arrests. Either students are not using the drug, or
becoming smarter at hiding their addiction Antineau said.
Others seem to have a different opinion on dorm drug use.
One junior believes use is very prevalent among students.

"Out of every 100 people in a dorm area probably 15 use

Associate Dean Of Student Development Kris Smith said
that ECU's penalties for the possession or use of cocaine arc
the most severe of all drug offenses. Students caught with sim-
ple possession are suspended for the semester, but could pos-
sibly return after fulfilling requirements such as successful
completion of a drug treatment program and a passed drug test.

SI SI I WRITER
The American Diabetes Association in
conjunction with Pitt Memorial Hospital
sponsored a 30-minut.e satellite broadcast
hosted by ABC- News Medical
Correspondent Nancy Sniderman.
The broadcast, which occurred
Thursday night in Edwin Monroe
Conference Center, addressed current
issues such as nutrition, new drugs and dia-
betes symptoms. Following the broadcast,
a panel of experts answered questions
from the audience.
Over 18 million Americans suffer from
diabetes, many of the signs and symptoms
of this disease occur without the sufferer
recognizing them.
Symptoms include being overweight,
frequent urination, constant hunger and
thirst, unhcalable sores, and numbness and
tightening of the feet. Approximately one-
third of the people who suffer from this
disease are not aware qf it and may go
undiagnosed up to four to seven years.

ROTG Pirates on the move this month
Awands ceremony held
for Veteran's Day
Devon White
STAFF WRITER
The army ROTC Pirates have
been on the move in the months of
October and November.
The Pirates have participated in
several events such as the Army 10-
milcr, Ranger Challenger
Competition, Persian Rifle, Fall
FTX, and a Veteran's Day
Ceremony.
"Everything has been very pro-
ductive. These cadets worked hard
to strive for the best Cadet Yvette
Campbell said.
This year marked the second
consecutive year that cadets from
ECU Army ROTC ran in the Army
10-miler. This event is held every
year in Washington, D.C. With
14,000 runners in attendance, this
event continues to be the largest
running event in the U.S. Pirates
Battalions 10-miler team finished
37th among the other ROTC
teams that participated. Individual
times for the team members were:
Latrice Clark at 1:33:36, Todd
Deca at 1:18:41, Jason Dickey at
1:18:41, Jason Gibbs at 1:02:46,
Heather Reilcy at 1:39:28, and
Michael VVorley at 1:28:11.
The ECU Ranger Challenge
Team went to Ft. Jackson, S.C. to
participate in the Annual Carolina
Brigade, Ranger Challenge
Competition. The competition
consisted of 26 teams from all over
North and South Carolina. Each
team competed in a series of events
which included a one-rope bridge,
assembling of M16 & M60,
grenade assault course, land navi-
gation, BRM, 10K ruck run, PT
test and a written land navigation
test.
The ECU Persian Rifle color
guard has also been on the move
this semester. They have partici-
pated in almost every home foot-
ball game, in the opening of Sam's
Club, and the speaking of General
Hugh Shelton, chairman of Joint
Chiefs of Staff. ?
On Friday, Nov. 6, 42 ECU

Students all around ECU have
stories of emergency room visits
and friends who have overdosed.
One student we spoke with

"The more you know, the more
people you can help, whether you
have the disease or not
Sniderman said.
Sniderman believes it is impor-
tant to recognize the two types of
diabetes.Type I Diabetes occurs in
only 10 percent of cases. This type
is very strong and requires insulin
therapy for treatment. Type II
Diabetes is a weaker form, and is
much more difficult to diagnose. It
occurs in 90 percent of the affected
population. With this type, there
are little or no noticeable symptoms
except high blood pressure and
cholesterol. If these symptoms go
undetected they could eventually
lead to heart disease.
There are new developments in
medicine to treat Type II Diabetes
patients. Since 1994, four new
drugs have been approved to be
administered for cases of diabetes.
These include Mezulin, Prandin,
Prelose and Glucophase, which arc
all take orally and suppress produc-
tion of glucose in the blood.
"Education is the key to estab-
lishing a strong grasp on treatments
and cures of this disease
Sniderman said. Doctors recom-
mend to keep accurate records of
normal blood pressure and choles-
terol counts, have frequent check-
ups, especially if something is out
of the ordinary, and most
importantly, stay informed.

Everybody knows that most drugs are a problem. How could anyone not know? There are
advertisements for a "drug-free America" in virtually every aspect of our society. Yes, many
drugs are bad, but not many people know just how bad and what the side-effects of serious
substances, cocaine for example, really are. - ?
Cocaine, also known as coke, freeze, snow and rock, is one of the drugs abused at ECU. A
survey was conducted in the spring of 1997 that calculated the number of students who'd
had any experience with the drug. Out of 2,000 students, only around half of them returned
their forms. From that number, 3.7 percent have tried the drug for the first time between the
ages of 18-20.
Curiosity may be a reigning influence since the use of cocaine creates a carefree feeling,
relaxation and a sense of control. But the euphoria doesn't last long.
Cocaine is severely addictive which causes the users to develop a physical and psychological
dependency on the drug sometimes after only one use. Upon snorting the drug, cocaine
causes the brain to secrete dopamine, the chemical responsible for the euphoric feelings
associated with the substance. Eventual effects of repeated use include inability to become
happy without the drug (the brain will lose its ability to produce dopamine on its own after a
while), nasal bleeding and inflammation, seizures, delirium, cardiac arrest and often death.
Aside from all biological facts, the social reasons for avoiding cocaine are just as strong. Once
a person is addicted, his or her friends and family are undoubtedly affected. It may be as
simple as noticing changes in the user's behavior, but soon enough the user is utterly
helpless around others because he or she is no longer capable of caring for themselves. Only
one thing occupies their mind?getting more cocaine.
What about money? An eight-ball (three and a half grams of powder), can cost up to $250.

Republicans forgot the issues
I If they wanted to continue

Republicans should have
focused and loudly voiced
5 their policy agendas for
V making America and
1 Americans better off instead
of focusing on what Clinton
; lacks by way of character.
E
?The general outcome of this year's
Election proved to create quite an
Jistounding surprise for voters and
?politicians alike. The political
?scene, while always full of scandal
5)nd upheaval?has seen prolific
fthange and turmoil especially
throughout this past year.
With the Republicans' sweep of
She house in 1994, relatively
Javorable polls, and the
Overwhelming Clinton scandals,
.continued Republican dominance
?was seemingly assured for the next
Ifcrm of Congress. Nevertheless,
hc voters' response contradicted
jjiis assumption entirely. The
Republican house seats didn't just
sustain' themselves?the
Democrats actually gained seats
from the Republicans. Then, to
add to the madness, Newt
Gingrich resigned from his high
profile post as Speaker of the
House.
Amid the Lewinsky scandal,
alleged campaign finance
violations, a weakening economy,
and international unrest (not to
mention Clinton's weak foreign
policy concept), how did the
Republicans manage to fall victim
to defeat in this election?
Obviously, there were a few
strategic mistakes. The
Republican party overestimated
the voters' disapproval of Clinton
and its own favorability, which in
turn perpetuated an
underestimation of its lack of
policy and performance in the
areas the voters do care about,
primarily financial well-being.
At the exit polls, 63 percent of
the voters claimed the Clinton
scandal had no prominent effect in
their voting decision. If anything,
the reaction of the politicians
superseded the initial criminal act
of the president and his staff. As
disappointing as it is, voters
conveyed by ballot that
performance in issues that directly
relate to them prevails over
integrity, honor, and character.
Thanks for coming out. If anyone
expects the recent scandals,
events, and outcomes of this past
election to propagate an overall
character reform of politicians,
then major denial is overtaking
common sense.
If they wanted to continue their
reign in the House, the
Republicans should have focused
and loudly voiced their policy
agendas for making America and
Americans better off instead of
focusing on what Clinton lacks by
way of character. Stating
differences between parties may
have a positive internal effect,
creating cohesion within the party
itself, but at the same time it
generates a negative external
perception by the voters. The
Republicans believed the Clinton
scandal and a series of mud-
slinging campaigns would carry
them to victory, but sadly, it carried
them into an election flop.
Gingrich's resignation
encapsulated the Republican
defeat and served to teach a lesson
to both political parties; while
extremism is a necessary facet of a
group, extremists are not
necessarily best fit to lead a group
to its full potential. Instead, they
can best be utilized in bargaining
and in forming initial policies
which can be later guided into
more centrist policies.
While the November election
disappointed Republican
politicians and conservative voters,
the lessons learned will perhaps
gear the party into a positive and
winning direction for the big
election of 2000 knowing what it
faces and what is imperative to
reform.
OPINION
Columnist
Condiments shouldn't be extra
Unless we boycott or
something, they may start to
charge us extra on other
things as well. I'm talking
about napkins, straws, ice,
pay toilets, and oxygen. It
is not fair to us college
students to have to shell out
eleven cents every time we
want to have mustard.
Here's something that really
bothers me. It clearly states in the
United States Constitution, in
section 2, article 13, row 4, scat 45,
that every human being has the
right to as many free condiments as
he or she pleases, but restaurant
profiteers arc denying your rights
every day.
I recently went to a restaurant
with a few friends. To protect the
restaurant's name, let's just call it
"Flojangles My friend MC
Russell ordered some chicken
strips, and then asked for two,
count 'cm, two packets of honey
mustard to dip his food in. The
woman behind the counter then
informed him, with a straight face,
that any more than one packet
would cost him eleven cents extra.
I, as a professional journalist,
had to call Bull-Schmitt on that
one. I have done a little research
(very little, actually) on the
subject, and I have found that
Flojangles isn't the only restaurant
to take this policy. McConnalds, as
well!
What is the world coming to?
. First the Presidential Hummer,
and then this tragedy. Remember
back in the good old days (when
you're parents were young) when
you could go .to someone's house
and open one of the kitchen
drawers, only to find packets upon
packets of ketchup (pronounced
CAT-sup) and mustard from
various fast food restaurants? Well,
apparently those days are gone.
It's about greed, pure and
simple. The fast food industry
must be losing money, what with
those itty bitty sponsors like
Disney and the NBA. (note: The
preceding line fully utilized the
age-old journalism tactic known as
"sarcasm I learned it in a class
right here at ECU, thus proving
the existence of education on
campus.) The restaurants are
charging us for condiments, and
someone has to put a stop to it!
That's why it is up to you and
me, Jasper and Francine American,
to take this whole ordeal to the
highest authorities, and seeing
how Frank Sinatra is now dead, we
should probably go to Bill Cosby.
We should tell him, with a bribe of
pudding in hand, that he needs to
make a public service
announcement about this matter,
and if that doesn't work then we
will just have to deal with it. If
"the Coz" can't do it, no one can!
Sorry about that. I am still
-wired from the 4,000 pixi-sticks I
bought at Sam's last week. But
seriously, there is something really
wrong when people are getting
charged for mustard. Unless we
boycott or something, they may
start to charge us extra on other
things as well. I'm talking about
napkins, straws, ice, pay toilets,
and oxygen. It is not fair to us
college students to have to shell
out eleven cents every time we
want to have mustard.
Think about it. Eleven cents
can really add up. If you cat at
Flojangles every day for two
months, getting two extra mustard
packets every time, you will have
spent roughly $13 extra. That's
enough for a couple to go to the
movies, dinner at Red Lobster, or
even a dime bag for the drug set.
I hope this has opened your
eyes to some extent. Think about
how much you love your free
condiments, and then express to
the local restaurant managers your
disgust. If nothing else, you may
get one of those cards for a free
small soda, so it won't be wasting
your time. In the meantime, Til be
at Flojangles eating my
condiment-free chicken biscuiti I
don't use condiments, anyway.

Housekeepers; university report a cover-up
The university's just-concluded
investigation into the racially
offensive posters found by
housekeepers in the Jenkins Art
Building is a cover-up. There was
no evidence presented that a
student or students were
responsible. The university's
attempt to scapegoat students is
offensive in itself.
The idea that the act
represented a well-meaning but ill-
conceived attempt at artistic
expression is simply not credible.
The posters were not hung in any
gallery, but in hallways cleaned by
black housekeepers. The only area
of Jenkins cleaned by a white
housekeeper had no racist posters
hung up. The posters were hung
anonymously and were not part of
any formal exhibit. When students
display artwork, they most likely
obtain prior approval.
Approximately 170 of the 186
ECU housekeepers are African
American, and their association,
formed almost three years ago,
organized into the NC Public
Service Workers Union, UE Local
150. There has been harassment by
Marriott and ECU supervisors, and
a noose was found hanging from a
file cabinet drawer in a faculty
member's office. This is all in
context of two black church
burnings in Pitt County.
UE Local 150 - ECU
Housekeepers Association is
asking for a real investigation by
the Justice Department and US
attorney Janet Cole.

Sceptics obsessed with Ventura's old job
I was appalled at columnist
Stephen Kleinschmit's article about
the election of Minnesota Governor
Jesse Ventura, especially with the
fact that he seems obsessed with
the man's former job. That's
correct, former job. Mr.
Kleinschmit doesn't seem to realize
that most politicians are always a
former something; it just wasn't
until now that we had a former
wrestler elected to public office. He
seems to think that this former job
will somehow affect Mr. Ventura's
ability to hold office, but I find this
an incorrect statement since it is
obvious that Mr. Ventura can
separate fantasy from reality.
Perhaps it is Me. Kleinschmit who
is having trouble with that.
Mr. Kleinschmit goes on to call
the election of Ventura a desperate
craving for "entertainment" by the
people of Minnesota. Basically, this
is ludicrous. Yes, Ventura was once
an entertainer, but Mr. Kleinschmit
conveniently neglects the fact that
the new governor is also a former
Navy Seal and mayor, which adds
, more validity to his holding office.
As for the people of Minnesota,
they had the entire campaign to
make up their minds about
Ventura's platform; evidently they
wanted a change from the old
establishment.
Perhaps Mr. Kleinschmit should
widen his view concerning Ventura,
and sustain his initial impulses to
bash the man just for doing a job
that some find ridiculous, as it is
just that, a job. And a job does not
define a man, just as Mr.
Kleinschmit's does not make him a
credible columnist.

Campus food drives aim to help
underprivileged families during holidays
Collection boxes located
throughout campus
Phillip 'Gil.fus'
STAFF WRITER
As the holidays approach, people
are once again getting into the char-
itable spirit. Here at ECU, the
?ourth Annual ECU Holiday Drive
?as commenced and it is hoped that
jpany community organizations and
families will benefit from donations
given by faculty and students.
Business Services, in conjunc-
tion with the Pitt County
Department of Social Services, has
?et up fifty collection boxes
throughout the campus and
Greenville.
"We felt that the university
Deeded a program that could give
something back to the communi-
ty said Julie Wolfe of
Administration and Finance of
Business Services.
? The programmed kicked off this
year on November 3 and is expect-
ed to end on December 9. Social
Services has identified several fam-
ilies in need and has provided wish
lists for several children and elderly
shut-ins. Social Services usually
compiles a list of families to be
sponsored that contain ECU stu-
dents or employees that are in
need, but this year there are none.
Last year twenty three children
were provided for by the holiday
drive, this year that number has
increased to forty one.
"The drive grows tremendously
each year said Leslie Craigle,
Director of Marketing for Business
Service. "We hope to help more
and more families each year
Items that are being asked for
donation include toys, clothing,
baby items, school supplies, non-
perishable food, and household
items. While children are the
emphasis of this holiday drive,
many other charitable organizations
will be helped by donations. The
Greenville Community Shelter,
Operation Sunshine, the Flynn
Christian Home for Men, the F'irst
Born Community Shelter, and the
Salvation Army are among the
groups that will benefit from ECU
charity.
In partnership with Business
Services, WZMB (91.3 FM), the
campus radio station, has helped
make this year's Holiday Drive spe-
cial. During their "Family Values
Food Drive a person is entered
into a drawing for free concert tick-
ets for every two cans of non-per-
ishable food items that are donated
in their collection boxes. Two stu-
dents have already been awarded
tickets for Korn and Marilyn
Manson. But tickets for Phish and
Dave Matthews are still up for
grabs.
"Our main objective is to feed
the hungry said Lisa Ramsey,
WZMB promotional director. "The
concert tickets are simply an incen-
tive to get people to donate more
food
The radio station is accepting
food items at their station, local gro-
cery stores, and local remotes. The
final drawing for tickets will take
place November 24 when WZMB
broadcast live from the Onix.
The Student Volunteer Program
will help to distribute the collected
items during the beginning of
December. Any students interest-
ed in helping should contact
Student Volunteer Services or stop
by their office in Christenbury.
Several donation boxes are located across campus for donating non-perishable items.

All should be aware of
i, their environment
Nina M. Dry
SENIOR WRITER
Although ECU's student popula-
tion is approximately 17,8(K), it has
managed to stay close knit and rel-
atively safe. To keep things the
way they are, we must continue
implementing safety procedures.
Here are some tips of keeping safe
on and around campus grounds.
5,500 find their home away from
home in one of the fourteen resi-
dence halls around campus. Even
though some might consider the
people on their hall family, there's
always the possibility that not
everyone is what they seem.
"It is unfortunate that people
will walk into someone's room and
steal things said Tom Younce,
assistant director of the ECU
police. "That's why you should
always keep your door locked, even
if you're just going down the hall
Younce explained a procedure of
keeping belongings safe called
Operation I.D. the ECU police will
come and mark one's property such
as stereos, televisions, and refriger-
ators with the person's social secu-
rity number or their drivers license
number. This way if the items were
to become stolen, they would be
identifiable.
To keep residence halls safe as a
whole, residents must be aware of
their environment. If someone
looks suspicious, report it immedi-
ately to the coordinator or an RA.
"Make sure to never let some-
one in the residence hall you do
not know Younce said. "Also
never prop open doors. This gives
access for anyone to just walk right
on in
At one time or another most stu-
dents will have to take a night class.
Students should take precautionary
measures when walking back to
their rooms or their cars.
"People should always walk in
pairs. This applies to both men and
women Younce said. "Assaults on
men happen more frequently than
on women
If there isn't anyone to walk
back with, students can use the
escort service provided by the ECU
police department or they can use
the Pirate Ride.
"Pirate Ride picks up at the Rec
Center and goes throughout cam-
pus Younce said. "It runs about
every 10-15 minutes. It's a great
form of transportation
If you are walking around cam-
pus and feel your personal safety
being threatened, there are devices
that can be to your advantage. The
blue light telephones are strategi-
cally placed throughout campus
that are connected to the ECU
police.
"There are about 75 blue light
phones on ECU grounds Younce
said, "The best thing about them is
if you pick one up, we know exact-
ly where you are?you do not need
to say anything
Younce said the ECU police
check the lights once a week and
review their locations. If you come
across one that seems out of order,
report it to the ECU police.
Some students can not park
their cars near their residence halls
and must park in the gravel lot by
5th street. Even though the car isn't
close by doesn't mean it can not be
safe.
"The lots are patrolled often and
officers are placed in street clothes
around the area to catch people in
the act of vandalizing and stealing
Younce said.
According to Younce, the best
way to keep one's car safe is to
make sure all personal, valuable
items are out of sight.
For any other safety concerns
the ECU police department is here
for the students. It is a full service
police organization located on tenth
street next to Umstead Hall.
For more information on the
ECU police visit their site on the
web, www.ecu.edupolice
Students must take special care when entering doors. Always shut doors behind you.

Message left in bottle 28
years ago turns up on coast
PHOTOGMfflEJIS arm ? m TEC OFHCf
MOBILE, Ala. (AP) ? A little girl
who got bored on a fishing trip
scribbled a note, stuck it in a bottle
and threw it in the water. It turned
up 28 years later a mere 40 miles
from where it began its journey.
Kathy Briley stumbled across
the time capsule last Sunday on a
beach at Perdido Bay.
Mrs. Briley was only two months
old in 1970 when Betty Elaine
Harris of Loxley wrote the message
oit the back of a sample ballot for
the 1970 election. She also drew a
picture of a girl holding a purse and
a balloon.
Then she sealed the ballot in a
bottle and threw it into the Styx
River, while flows through south-
west Alabama and into Perdido
Bay.
"I can vaguely remember doing
it said the author, who is now mar-
ried and known as Betty Elaine
Ory. She lives in Daphne, where
she works as a receptionist.
Mrs. Ory said she was 8 at the
time and was fishing with her par-
ents in their aluminum boat.
"When I got tired of fishing, I
would play with the stuff in the
boat, and mom said that was when I
dug in her purse and got the paper
out and wrote that she said.
Mrs. Ory's mother, Janie Harris,
72, said she could barely remember
the note when she got a call from
Mrs. Briley about finding it. Mrs.
Briley lives in Pensacola, Fla and
works at a motel in Gulf Shores.
She said she and her boyfriend,
Tommy McGaster, were looking
for arrowheads along a beach when
they found the bottle.
"I have three kids and they talk
about doing stuff like that every

Do you agree with
this statementP
A society is more liberated to the extent that fewer people are
denied human rights or opportunities or in any way oppressed
due to race, religion, ethnicity, gender, age, sexual preference,
property ownership, wealth, income, or statist authoritarian-
ism and exclusion. Reducing and ultimately removing such
hierarchies of reward, circumstance, status, or power would
improve society.
If so, join us at our meeting.

Louisville severely spoils Pirates' senior daf
Tundiy, Nov
8 Tuetdiy. November 17. 1998
Football team misses
chance for bowl game
Travis Bark ley
senior writer
Saturday's game against the
University of Louisville turned
out to be a record setting affair.
Unfortunately for ECU, it was
Cardinal quarterback Chris
Redmond who did most of the
record breaking.
The junior quarterback com-
pleted 44 of 56 passes for a stag-
gering 592 yards and six touch-
downs as Louisville spoiled senior
day for ECU and won 63-45. In
total, ten ECU records were bro-
ken or tied in the game.
"We didn't score enough points
in the first half to keep pace with
them head coach Steve Logan
said. "They've got an NFL quar-
terback and a fine compliment of
receivers. They did to us what
they've done to a lot of folks
Logan said ECU threw a vari-
ety of different defenses at
Louisville, but none of them
proved effective against the
nation's top-ranked offense.
"We tried everything in the
world to stop them and couldn't
come up with any answers Logan
said. "You name it, we tried it. We
tried man coverage, zone coverage,
blitz coverage, we dropped eight,
we had combination coverages
Junior cornerback Forrest Foster
had the unenviable task of covering
the Cardinal receivers. He said
Louisville got most of their yardage

on runs after the catch.
"We mixed it up, but they came
out there and executed well
Foster said. "Their tight end, No.
10 wideout Arnold Jackson some-
times came underneath the line-
backers. I think that's where they
got most of their yardage from:
slants ovet the middle and runs
after the catch. That's a big factor
The Cardinals tallied 769 yards
of total offense, improving to 6-4 on
the season. With the loss ECU fell
to 5-5 and was probably eliminated
from any possible bowl berth. The
winner of the game was said by
Motor City Bowl officials to have
the inside track on that bowl's at-
large berth.
Logan said he didn't mention
any bowl possibilities to his team
because he is somewhat skeptical
about such situations.
"Those things; I have to see
them to believe them first because
of the experience I've had here
ECU fans' voice about the '98 team
Football fans differ
in their opinions
Blaine Denius
staff writer
Pirate fans hold a variety of opin-
ions about the performance of this
year's football team, which owns a
record of 5-5.
. "As far as wins and losses go, I
hope for a better season next year
' ECU junior Craig Morrisette said.
"It's really difficult when your
leadet on the field is new to the
scheme, but I feel that Garrard has
done an excellent job this year
ECU alumna Jodie Britton says
she is satisfied with the team's per-
formance so far and does not think
they deserve much of the criticism
that has come.
"I have heard all of the criticism
of Coach Logan and I just don't
agree with it Britton said.
The performance of the special
teams players has brought the con-
cern of several Pirate fans.
"The team had some close
i games that could have gone either
i way sophomore Matt
j McLawhorn said. "I wish the kick-
i ing game was stronger. I think that
j would have helped
J According to sophomore Lee
i Hiner, ECU's special teams have
been really slack. "Offensively we
are struggling and just can't seem to
i put the points on the board
I Hiner said.
Although the time is near, few
: teams are certain of their position in
( the variety of bowl games yet to be
played this season. Even if the
i Pirates do not receive a bowl bid,
! fans are showing their continuing
i support.
I "I think for a young team they
i have done really well this year.

tions ECU senior Lonnie Farmer
said.

ECU sophomore Morgan Clayton
I agrees. Clayton is happy with the
team this season and looks forward
to next year.
before with an 8-3 team Logan
said. "We've got a game next week
that we have to focus on, that's all
that matters now
The play of ECU's special
teams have been overlooked in the
loss. The Pirates scored their first
touchdown on a blocked punt
return by linebacker Carlos Ochoa
and suffered no breakdowns in
their own kicking game. Andrew
Bayes converted six of six extra
points and nailed his single field
goal attempt. Ochoa said they
planned to go after Louisville's
first punt instead of setting up a
return.
"We surprised them with the
first call to block it, and it worked
Ochoa said.
Also overlooked in the loss is

senior writer
Despite some key injuries, the
ECU men's cross country team
capped its season with a strong
showing at the NCAA District
Three Regionals in Greenville,
S.C. The Pirates finished with an
impressive 14th place and set the
stage for next year's stacked squad.
"I think, considering the cir-
cumstances, we ran very well said
Leonard Klepack, head men's cross
country coach.
The Pirates set two school
course records on the muddy track.
One of those was accomplished by
Junior Justin England, who fin-
ished 25th overall with a time of
31:03 and was named to the All-
District Team. Sophomore Stuart

The Pirates were without two of

Freshman Jason Trant, was unable
to participate all week due to a flu
and did not make the trip.
Sophomore Steve Arnold did not
run either after he was hindered by
a severe cramp. According to
Klepack, Arnold's Joss was
extremely unfortunate for the team

of the successful runners.

Tracv Hairr
assistant sports editor
The men's soccer team concluded
its season last Tuesday with a 0-4
shutout by American University
during the CAA Championships in
addition to losing head coach Will
Wiberg, who resigned his position.
ECU's best opportunity to score
in their final game of the season
came when Brian Denoo made a
shot, right outside the net, at 18:40.
This was one of five shots attempt-
ed by the Pirates.
For senior Wyatt Panos, this was
his last game for the Pirates.
"We had a very bad year and
thought we had a chance at win-
ning Panos said. "I wish we could
have finished the season different-

The CAA began the soccer tour-
nament in 1990, but ECU has cap-
tured a victory only once. This
occurred when the Pirates defeated
UNC-Wilmington in 1995.
"Every time there's a tourna-
ment, if feels like you're getting a
second chance assistant coach Jeff
Oberg said. "We had hoped to do
better and didn't expect to lose so
quickly
Due to Wiberg's resignation,
however, the program will hopeful-
ly invite changes to allow for anoth

"Coach Wiberg made ai
extremely good effort to work withr

L Starting tomorrow, November 19th,The
V East Carolina Playhouse will present
'tKftW Mother Courage as its second and last
production this semester.
Bertok Brecht's drama is set in Europe during the Thirty
Years War, with action that spans over several of those
years.
The set is simple: a woven brown canvas stretches across
the back wall of the stage and rustic fortress gates made
of wooden planks conceal the wings.
With only her four children and a wagon filled with sup-
plies to peddle to desperate soldiers, Mother Courage
carves herself a life and a business out of the necessities
and privations of war, following the soldiers of either
side from country to ravaged country.
Over the course of years, Mother Courage loses her chil-
dren, one by one, through brutality or her own selfish-
ness. But her humanity has instilled in her the strength
of will to grimly plunge ahead, no matter the cost
Through it all, Mother Courage stands upright, face
turned broadly to scenes of carnage and rage, dispens-
ing earthy wisdom even when her heart is broken.
"I don't know why I listen to you slurs a drunken young
soldier once.
Her response is steady and true: "You listen to me
because I'm not saying anything new
Director John Shearin has drawn upon his own memo-

CD Review
Beck
Mutations
8 out of 10
Let me start out by saying this:
This is not everyone's Beck album.
For those of you still trying to
figure out where it's at, let me tell
you, it ain't here. Mutations finds a
Dust Brothers-less Beck stripping
away the spotlight glitter of Odeky,
and instead exploring a more
organic, eclectic mix of songs. This
is the age of pluralism and Beck is
a master of the trade. Whether it be
blues, folk, country, or even the
surprising Indian influence,
Mutations showcases a maturity in
songwriting that, although not
surprising coming from Beck, can't
be ignored.
From the opening psychedelicfolk
of "Cold Brains" to the final hidden
track, which could easily be
mistaken for c Beastie Boys
number, Beck pulls out all the
stops and rarely falters.
The clear stand-out on the
album isn't easy to distinguish, and
the fact that the two top contenders
are so stylistically different makes
it no less harder. "Bottle of Blues
with its subtly wailing harmonica
and blues-tinged guitar is
definitely a highlight. Lyrically,
Beck knows when to be abstract,
when to be funny, and when to be
down right simple, as demonstrated
here with lines like "Ain't it hard to
want somebody who doesn't want
you And leave it to Beck to find a
way to successfully put a wah wah
guitar in a blues song.
In the other corner,
"Tropicalia which sounds Ijke it
came off the same Carnival Cruise
Line ship as the recent single
"Deadweight"(from the life less
Ordinary soundtrack), has, I'm
sure, all but guaranteed Beck a spot
in Vegas as a future resident lounge
singer. With its flamenco style
guitar, Latin percussion, and sound
effects that remind me of the noise
your straw makes when you move
it up and down in your milkshake,
this song is so strangely unusual
that you can't help but love it0
Maria" takes us back to the wild
west, with its saloon-style piano
and drunken vocals, only to
transport us down to New Orleans
with the introduction of a trom-
bone. Listening to the song, 1 can't
figure out whether I'm supposed to
take that special someone into my
arms and head for the dance floor
or to just sit down and have
another.
"Nobody's Fault But My Own"
finds a contemplative Beck singing
over a sitar-laced raga, and at
times, even finds his usually nasal
vocals in such perfect form that
they all but melt into the mix. I

Band Review
2 Skinnee fs in da house!
Caleb Rose
Assistant Editor
It is amazing that the
floor of The Attic did
not cave in last
Thursday night due
to the sold out crowd that gath-
ered together for an evening of
tunage from Nameless? Dial-7 and
headlining act 2 Skinnee J's.
People started to pour in when
the doors opened at 9 p.m. Once the
tickets at the door were gobbled up,
The Attic was sold out for the
evening. House of Pain guru Everlast
was originally slated to open for the
Skinnee ones but he canceled and
the slot was filled by California's Dial
7.
Serious busting of moves just occurred here
Greenville natives Nameless?
opened the evening delivering their
own mix of rock and funk. Being no
strangers to The Attic, they put on a
good opening to a soon-to-be great
concert.
Dial 7 set up shortly thereafter
and soon took the stage. The five-
piece consisted of the core guitar,
bass, and drums and fueled
by a ball of energy disguised
as two singers. To picture
Dial-7's singers, imagine if
Chuck D and Flava Flav of
Public Enemy joined
Fishbone
Dial-7 delivered tunes
promoting their latest record
Never Enough Time. Most
all of the songs from their
set were upbeat and tight. The
dual singingrapping force put on a
show of their own by dancing errati-
cally about in costumes and encour-
aging crowd participation. "All I
Want" displayed the band's harmony
talents as they sang the melody "All I
wantis just another chance to do it
again Other memorable tunes

Movie Review

Apt Pupil gives evil a new face
Apt Pupil, the newest movie from
director Bryan Singer, begins with a
kickstart.
"I want to know everything.
Everything that they won't tell us in
school That's what Todd Bowden
(frighteningly portrayed by Brad
Rcnfro), a sixteen-year-old high
school student, tells Arthur Denker
(menacing Ian McKellan), the fugi-
tive Nazi war criminal.
What Todd wants to know
everything about is the Holocaust.
Not only does he want to know
about it; he wants to know every
graphic detail and to hear all about
Denkcr's involvement in the
massacre.
Why should Denker tell him any-
thing? Well, Todd has assembled
pictures and fingerprints, and is giv-
ing him no choice If he doesn't (ell
his stories, Todd will go to the police
with his evidence. So Denker agrees
and tells Todd his stories. Every day
after school, Todd goes to Denkcr's
house, absorbing more and more of
the truly awful stories that Denker
has to offer. Because of his fascina-
tion.Todd begins to falter in school
and soon the tides turn, leading the
Nazi gentleman to take control.
By posing as Todd's grandfather,
Denker is able to thwart the school
guidance counselor (a pretty decent
David Schwimmcr) into letting
Todd take the final exams and use
those grades as the ones that are to
show up on hisjreport card. Todd
studies and studies and makes all
As.
Even after this
act of kindness,
Todd is not willing
to let go of the
wtiole ex-Nazi
thing. He pur-
chases a Nazi
General costume
and makes
Denker put it on,
and then instructs
him to march.
Denker, by orders,
begins to march
in place. This is
one of the most pow-
erful scenes I have seen in any
recent movie. When you realize that
Denker is (in his own mind) no
longer in his kitchen, but back in
WWII Germany, you begin to won-
der exactly what went on back then.
The basic plot of the story deals
with Todd's undying thirst for
I Renfra and Ian McKellan dredge up a dark past in Apl Pupil
knowledge on the subject of Nazi-
era Germany. He can't seem to be
satisfied with the age-old saying
"learn from your mistakesor better
yetlearn from others'mistakes
Todd doesn't learn about what went
on as much as he learns how to pro-
tect his interests by using the Nazi
techniques.
I won't give away the end-
ing, but I'll tell you that
Denker makes a profound
indention on Todd's life
Whatever goodness and
morality Todd has at the
beginning of the film, we are
to assume that he has lost
these qualities by the end.
Bryan Singer's style fits
the overall mood of the
story quite well. He adopted
most of the cinematography
from his last film and one of
the best movies ever, The
UsualSuspects.You don't get as
much out of this film as you do with
SuspectSybul it is indeed well worth
lull admission. Just always remem-
ber this: If you don't believe in the
existence of true evil, then you have
a lot to learn.

Beck, continued from page 2
personally never imagined hearing
a Beck song that you could
meditate to, but again, Mutations
isn't exactly your typical Beck
album. "Static the album's closing
song (minus the mysterious hidden
track) is one of Beck's most
accessible song to date, one that I
could see being covered by any
number of artists, many of whom
would probably never touch a Beck
song otherwise. Laced with trippy
guitar and vocals that are, at times,
reminiscent of the Velvet
Underground, and surprisingly
warm lyrics like "It's a perfect day
to lock yourself inside you can't
help but walk away from the song
feeling a certain degree of comfort.
And all this from a man who, only a
few years ago, was calling himself a
loser. If only all mutations could
be this good.

Madrigal Dinner plans
Nina M.
Dry
Senior
Writer
Each year ECU
has celebrated
the Christmas
holiday with the
traditional
Madrigal
Dinner, an
E 1 i a b e t h a n
tvpc feast with the-
atrical song and dance activities, what we come up with. Gray sa.d
A 20-year tradition gets revamped
These dinners were presented
for four nights in December at
Mcndenhall Student Center
and featured musical perfor-
mances by students of the
School of Music. School of
Theatre and Dance students
created different characters such
as the Lord and Lady of the
Manor, the court jester and court
singers. Dining Services always
served a delectable feast.
This 20-year ECU tradition was
headed by School of Music faculty
member Dr. Brett Watson.
Dr. Watson's retirement last year
from ECU caused him to step down
from the position of the Madrigal
Dinner director. His subsequent death
this summer was a shock to many
people. This year, it has been decided
to change the holiday tradition a little
bit.
"After the retirement and unfortu-
nate death of Dr. Watson, the
(Madrigal Dinner program will be
suspended for this yean said Carol
Woodruff, marketing director of the
University Unions.
This year will be taken to review
the Madrigal Dinner of years past.
Director of Student Activities Stephen
Gray is currently the committee chair-
person in charge of looking at what
can be improved in the program.
"We were using the same format
every year Gray said. "The program
needed to be revisited, make it more
authentic
Gray, along with School of Music
faculty member Rhonda Fleming and
Theatre and Dance faculty member
Marcus Olsen (also known for direct-
ing the hit production of Cabaret),
plan to brainstorm in the hopes of cre-
ating a new and improved Madrigal
Dinner.
"We're going to travel to other uni-
versities to look at other scripts to see
Gray plans to sec what type of pro-
ductions other Universities used this
season and compare it to what will
work here.
"We have every intention of rein-
stating the program in December'99
Woodruff said.
As to what we will see the next

ries and his impressions of suffering
and war to make the characters as
real as they can be. He wants
audience members to see what he
sees in the story.
"1 hope they'll take from it he same
thing that inspired me to do it
perhaps a better understanding of
what helps people to survive in the
face of seemingly insurmountable
odds and horrors
Music director Mort Stinc has helped
Shcarin produce what he hopes will
be a fresh and attention-grabbing
interpretation.
"1 think one of the things that you
will see in this is the use of music that
is atypical of Brecht says Shearin 1
created a set of characters called the
Four Zanies (pictured on Page 1)
The Zanies play and sing music com-
posed by Mort Stine for voice, trom-
bone, tambourine, slide whistle and
kazoo.
"They carry the burden of the show
says ShearinThey're the narrative
thread in a highly episodic play"
A great admirer of Brecht, Shearin
thinks it is important for ECU
students "to gain exposure to one of
the great modern playwrights
He calls Brecht "one of the giants of
drama
Shearin just hopes the audiences are
ready to do some heavy thinking.
"You've got to have an attention span
to dig this stuff. This isn't a sitcomhe
warns.
Evening performances are on the
19th, 20th, 21st, 23rd and 24th at 8
p.m. A Sunday matinee will be
presented on the 22nd at 2 p.m.
"There are tremendous challenges for
actors in this playl'says Shcarinl
think we have risen to the
challenge

ARIES:
(March 21-April 20)
Your ideas and information could
make the difference, be sure you
inform those who can get the
wheels turning. Self- sacrifice for the
sake of loved ones is a joyful gift.
But there are those who might want
to take exception to your plans.
TAURUS:
(April 21-May 21)
Clear communication will be very
important. Follow up as soon as
possible on all correspondence. You
are set to make things happen and
now have all you need at your dis-
posal to do so. Go for it! Changes
need to be made at home - the sug-
gestions won't be met with
enthusiasm.
GEMINI:
(May 22-June 21)
An unexpected money gift will give
you the chance to try something
new. You feel like you're walking off
the edge of your usual routine, and
the feeling is exhilarating. Take care
of your own needs, which may
include taking some time for your-
self. Be prudent.
CANCER:
(June 22-July 23)
Always remember that change is the
only constant - for your idea of self
may be a bit shaken up now.
Attitude is everything when dealing
with situations and people out of
the norm. There are a few relation-
ships important to you that need
attention; be sure to state your
needs clearly.
LEO:
(July 24-August 23)
Something important you have been
looking forward to is about to
appear. Don't let your ego get the
best of you and induce you to do
something really risky. You're look-
ing for a leadership role, but the
time isn't right. Wait for the perfect
moment to make your bid.
VIRGO:
(August 24 - September 23)
All seems quite well this week. In
fact, you are probably sitting on top
of the world. This satisfaction can
come from several areas. Perhaps
your love life is improving, or you
may have just accomplished some-
thing at work. Pay very close atten-
tion to all you hear now.
LIBRA:
(September 24 - October 23)
Although you are an easy going
character, you may easily offend
someone if you are not at your
diplomatic best. Spiritual inspira-
tion comes in the company of like-
minded friends. There is a real
opportunity for success, but only if
you're willing to change.
SCORPIO:
(October 24 - November 22)
Continue to insist on quality and
honesty in all your dealings, espe-
cially when issues are in the spot-
light. It may be the best time to
examine how to best use your tal-
ents and abilities, and whether or
not you need to shift gears where a
job is concerned.
SAGITTARIUS:
(November 23 - December 21)
The darker side of family members'
personalities may emerge if you are
dealing with money. Remember that
you can only do so much when
someone else controls the situation.
A requirement of personal interac-
tion must be that you will be treated
as an equal. No need to divulge
secrets.
CAPRICORN:
(December 22 - January 20)
You are in danger of being seduced
by something that has an attractive
outer appearance, but won't hold up
under close scrutiny. If greed is a
part of your motivation, put a stop
to it immediately. Don't criticize
another unless it is done with the
compassion.
AQUARIUS:
(January 21 - February 19)
Your energy level is at top speed -
slow down and be a bit more cau-
tious. It's time to talk about your
need for a great deal of indepen-
dence in relationships, so there are
no uncomfortable surprises later.
Clarify your point of view and
assure others no offense was meant.
PISCES:
(February 20-March 20)
Romance is in the picture, but be
aware of jealous behavior. Point out
that you are no one's possession.
Words of love may get an immediate
response, but be assured that you
are appreciated. Your primary rela-
tionship will distract you from your
work if you don't get a grip.
Birthday This Week:
Your daily grind may now become
more frantic and all-consuming,
which may lead to depleted health.
Rest and relaxation are definitely in
order for the next several months -
to rejuvenate your frazzled energies.
Make sure all communications are
crystal clear; messages may get easi-
ly confused.

Video Review
Skip class Bueller style
Ryan Kennemur
Movie Reviewer
3 12 outof4Ryans
Ferris Bueller's Day Off is a teenybop-
per film that could only be made by
John Hughes. This movie captures
the essence of being young, all the
while being a mainstream comedy
and a hysterical one at that.
We meet Ferris Bueller (Matthew
Broderick),and right from the get-go
it's obvious (but not lo his parents)
he is faking an illness so he can stay
home from school. This is the basic
symbolism upon which the entire
movie relies: all the adults seem out
of touch. The fact the parents aren't
smart enough to realize he's faking
shows how clever kids can be. We
also meet Ferris'jealous sister Jeanie
(pre-Dirty Dancing Jennifer Grey),
who has a bad case of sibling rivalry.
This element drives a lot of the
action and is a plotline not often
found in most movies involving
teens.
Ferris proceeds to narrate the film in
a classy, funny way. He's not one for
fancy book-learnin, but he does
Ferris proves thai brains beat brawn any old time
know a lot about life, people, and
having fun.
What he wants to do is take a day
off and show his best friend how to
have some fun. The friend is the
depressed hypochondriac Cameron
Frye, portrayed by Alan Ruck, who
shall always be known for this role.
Ferris has a kind of psychological
control over Cameron and when he
tells him to come pick him up,
Cameron refuses, but then guilt trips
himself into going along with it.
We also meet Ed Rooney (Jeffrey
Jones), the school principal who is
obsessed with catching Ferris to
show the example he sets is "a first
class ticket to nowhere Rooney is
somewhat of the cliche anal-re'ten-
tive administrator, but the atmos-
phere of the film is so zany and satir-
ical even the typical elements seem
fresh.
So Ferris, his girlfriend Sloane
(Mia Sara),and Carqeron take on the
city of Chicago. They also take
Cameron's father's Ferrari essentially
to add to the risk.
Unlike most comedies, the protago-
nists in this story aren't trying to
overcome a conflict, they are just
being themselves and doing and say-
ing funny things. They do get into a
few situations that could blow their
cover, but their teenage wit and fast
thinking save them every time.

N.C. officers, dogs, helicopter
chase after thief suspect
CREEDMOOR, N.C. (AP) It took a
police chief, more than 90 officers, a
helicopter and three dogs to chase
down a man accused of stealing a
$500 space heater.
Leroy Howard, who police call the
"unluckiest crook alive was arrested
and charged with running from
police, stealing the heater and other
offenses.
Howard, who had been wanted for
weeks by Oxford police, was being
Saturday held under $41,000 bond
in the Granville County Jail.
The chase began when Creedmoor
Police Chief Ted Pollard saw the 30-
year-old Kitrell man on Monday
loading a space heater into a truck.
Pollard said when he stopped and
asked Howard what he was doing,
Howard jumped in his truck and
drove off.
Pollard followed the truck until it got
stuck in mud crossing a field. Then
he said Howard got out and ran into
the woods.
Just then three more police officers
arrived and discovered the truck had
been stolen from the city of Oxford.
But Howard's luck would get worse.
Two wildlife officers driving by the
field led their tracking dog into the
woods after Howard.
Then, as if on cue, two vans carrying
15 armed members of the North
Carolina Prison Emergency
Response Team arrived after hearing
the commotion on the radio.
The rest of the 80-member platoon
with two more dogs was called in
after the others searched unsuccess-
fully for about an hour.
"There was no way he was going to
escape now Pollard said.
Now all police needed was some
help from above, and it just so hap-
pened a highway patrol helicopter
getting repaired nearby flew over to
assist.
Finally after spotting Howard and
then losing him, a PERT officer
found him covered with leaves in
some bushes.
The full monarchy: Charles
keeps clothes on at
birthday tribute
SHEFFIELD, England (AP) The dif-
ference between "The Full Monty"
and "The Full Monarchy" is
elemental: Prince Charles keeps his
clothes on.
But the heir to the throne was a hit
nonetheless Friday at a 50th birth-
day party staged in his honor featur-
ing a cast member from the hit film
about unemployed Sheffield men
who turn to stripping.
The icing on a birthday cake in the
shape of a security guard's cap pro-
claimed "The Full Monarchy" Cast
members all wore such hats in the
movie's finale.
Charles visited a set used in the
1997 movie about the Yorkshire
industrial city to promote the work
of his charity, the Prince's Trust.
Taking a lead from Hugo Speer, who
played one of the main characters,
"Lunchbox in the film, Charles
quickly mastered the steps and .
joined in recreating a scene where
the men start practicing their dance
routine while waiting in line at a job
center,
"I've even been given a bit of chore-
ography on how to do things in a
queue Charles said.
"He's a cinch, a natural Speer said
of the prince. "He asked for a few
tips but didn't need them. It looks
like he's been practicing in his bed-
room
After his performance to the song
"Hot Stuff" by Donna Summer, the
prince was serenaded by hundreds
of youngsters who sang' ? Happy
Birthday to You
During an earlier visit to a drug
rehabilitation center in Sheffield,
Charles encountered a warm admir-
er in 78-year-old Elaine Glaza.
"Can I kiss you?" she asked.
"Absolutely said Charles, and some
bystanders shoutedGo on,
Charlie Mrs. Glaza also gave him
cuff links and a carnation after she
kissed his lips.
Charles, who reaches the half-centu-
ry mark Saturday, began his birth-
day celebrations Thursday night
with a private party at Hampton
Court Palace. On Friday night, Queen
Elizabeth II planned a party at
Buckingham Palace.
Camilla Parker Bowles, Charles'
longtime love, was among the guests
Thursday, but the event produced no
pictures of the two of them together.
She is hosting a party for Charles on
Saturday at Highgrove.his country
home.

I holiday season, ifs anybody's guess,

? ty of it Gray said. "When the new
program is introduced in 1999, we
! hope to have the people saying
S 'wow
Both students and staff members
anticipate the return of our
Christmas tradition.
"It was a lot of fun. I enjoyed it
said associate director at Mendenhall
Student Center Betty Hardee, who
performed in the Madrigal Dinners
in the past. "If they have a part for
me, I would do it again
"It was a very creative and won-
derful experience said Matt Hinson,
an ECU junior can't wait for it to
come back. It's an experience that we
never forget
Ferris, continued from page 6
Meanwhile, Jeanie and Rooney are so
obsessed with catching Ferris their
paths eventually cross and the result
is one of the best scenes, not to men-
tion the best facial expression, in any
movie of that era. In classic John
Hughes style, Ferris has toget back
home before his parents arrive to
continue faking his illness.
Ferris Bueller's Day Off is a genius
comedy. It's very funny, original, well- ?
written, and well acted. It's not
preachy in terms of symbolism, but ;
its style is so brilliant it's in a class all ;
its own. What's more is the fact that i
it has the Bow-Bowchicka-chickahhh i
song and Charlie Sheen in his finest I
hour. If you haven't seen this movie,
you'd better. It's probably the best ?
movie of our generation. Period. ?

Dial-7 played a short but intense set
that pumped the crowd up for our
Skinnee friends.
The crowd meandered about while
the sets were changed. Frequent trips
to the bar and bathroom were often
impeded by the 99X booth located at
the rear of The Attic (after all they were
a sponsor of the show). The crowd
moved forward as the DJ's from 99X
introduced the band that brought in
the crowd: The 2 Skinnee J's.
The band opened up in a fog of
fake smoke and dressed in weird
space-age leisure suits with a creeping
instrumental titled "Space Avengers
Return to Base As the song was clos-
ing, the two singers, J and Special J,
crept onto the stage as if everything
was moving in slow motion.
They set their positions and
slammed into"Thc Best"which had
the crowd and band jumping in sync
(except for Special J - he was impeded
by an injury) to the point where it
seemed like The Attic floor was about
to cave in.
Song after song was played with a
short spoken intro before each so that
the band could catch their breath. 2
Skinnee J's are hardcore. They have the
same grooves as 311 but with a
Brooklyn, New York, Beastie Boy atti-
tude.
The in-between song banter were
stories from the road and their past.
An interesting point of the show was
A.J. Stumpy, the band's manager and
spiritual advisor. He stood up on
stage, all hardass, then he broke into
break-dancing during the song dedi-
cated to him.
Songs new and old, including
"BBQ "Artificial Flavor'V'Irresistible
Force" and the crowd favorites "Seven
One Eight" and "You're a Champion"
were thrown into the crowd of stu-
dents, which started swinging their .
hands, chanting "You're a champion
On many occasions the crowd
obeyed as the J's shouted "throw ya
hands in the air Signs were posted on
the stage that enforced "No
Stagediving, No Slamdancing howev-
er it said nothing about crowd-surfing.
Fans were passed around like a joint at
a Phish concert and they were then
escorted out by The Attic staff.
2 Skinnee J's are off to Atlanta and
then Charlotte. They claim that they
arc a working band that never leaves
the road. Whatever they do, they need
to keep on kecpin' on because that
night, as they said, we all were "cham-
pions" at having a good time.
