Academic achievement
honored by university

The Minority Student Academic
Leadership and Achievement Award cere-
mony was held to honor African and
Native American students who have
excelled in academics and in leadership.
The ceremony was held Wednesday,
Nov. IK, in Wright Auditorium. Students
who received a cumulative GrA of 3.0 for
the fall of'97 and the spring of'98, a total
of 255, were presented a certificate of
recognition. The leadership award winners
were nominated by faculty and staff and
required a minimum GPA of 2.5. These
fifteen students were recognized leader-
ship awards due ro their outstanding roles
on campus.
The event, sponsored by the African-
American Cultural Center, was established
in 1996.
"The awards help the students gain
confidence by being acknowledged said
Taffye Clayton, Director of the African-
American Cultural Center. "So many times
these students can go through school and
never be recognized
Programs like these also help in minori-
ty recruitment by showing a more positive-
aspect of ECU while assisting in retaining
successful minority students.
"We want them to feel good about
being a student here since acknowledge-
ment and celebration are integral parts of
being a student on this campus Clayton
said. "It also gives the student lasting
memories
Charles Penny, assistant city manager of
Rocky Mount, addressed the crowd on the
topic of "Millennium Torch Bearers:
Continuing the Path of Progress for African
Americans Although the program is orga-
nized for both African and Native
American students alike, the majority of
participants are African-American.
Organizers believe that events like this are
specific ways to make successful graduates
who, in turn, support the cultural center
and serve as positive role models,
"This is an outstanding program said
Brian 1 laynes, with Minority and Student
Affairs. "It is one of the better ones we
have at ECU that honors and recognizes

A two percent increase in tuition added to

More than 155,000 students enrolled at
the 16 North Carolina campuses were
affected by the tuition hike. The increase

increase to the fall tuition, although it had
not yet been formally approved, instead of
sending out supplement bills to 17,000

instead of sending a supplement bill later
saves the university a large amount of time
and money. The hike was recommended
to the legislature as a part of the biannual
budget which was drafted last year, there-

was most definite.
UNC Chapel Hill decided to send out
supplement bills to collect the 2 rather
than add it to the fall tuition like ECU.
Both Brown and Joni Worthington,
UNC system spokeswoman, said that "the
two percent increase is a very modest
increase, especially for in-state students
Yearly tuition at ECU is $918 for in-
state students and $8,188 for non-resi-
dents including the increase. The increas-
es for in-state students ranged from $16 to
$28 and $140 to $208 for out-of-state stu-
dents.
"The in-state tuition fees are among
the lowest rates in the country said
Richard Brown, Vice Chancellor for
Administration and Finance.
The increase will be used to cover the
costs of doing business as a university sys-
tem. The two percent increase for the fall
semester will appear on the spring tuition
bill.
"Historically, tuition fees have gone up
by two to three percent per academic
year said Michael P. Balko, University

The award was announced at their
annual state convention the weekend of

receiving such an honor, and members say

Prague
Orchestra to perform
in Czech Republic
P B Tr.R Da w y o t
ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR
Next fall F2CU's Symphony orchestra
will perform their first out-of-country
performance in the city of Prague, Czech
Republic.
The festival, which is hosted and
sponsored by the Prague Students
Orchestra, has featured youth orchestras
from numerous countries in Europe.
ECU is the first ensemble from the
United States to be invited to the festi-
val.
"This represents a tremendous honor
of the School of Music at ECU said Dr.
Douglas Morrison, music director. "The
invitation to Prague really underscores
the School of Music's commitment to
excellence. Exciting things are really
happening at ECU
The invitation came about through
violinist Jan Mizera, an exchange stu-
dent form Prague. In the spring of 1998,
Mizera played in the ECU Symphony
Orchestra and upon his return home
urged festivals directors to issue the invi-
tation.
Mizera lived with Morrison and his
family during the stay in the United
States.
"It was sad to see him go said
Morrison. "He had become family
ECU's attendance marks the first
American ensemble to attend the festi-
val. Prior participants in the festival have
included orchestras from France,
Germany, Belgium, Sweden and the
Slovak Republic.
According to Morrison, the timing of
the trip could not be better.
"1999 marks the 175th anniversary of
the birth of one of the greatest Czech
composers, Bcdrich Smetana said
Morrison. " I had already planned a spe-
cial complete performance of his great-
est work, Ma Ylast. Now we will be able
to honor this great composer in the city
in which he lived and composed
The festival, which was inaugurated
in 1994, will be held from Oct. 28
through Nov. 17. These dates will com-
memorate important dates in Czech his-
tory. ECU plans to perform three con-
certs which will focus on American
music for one part of the ensemble and
and the second half to celebrate the
Czech influences.
ECU will perform for three shows in
Prague. Berno, and Vienna, Austria.
ECU freshman Drew Yates is among
one of the music majors hoping to attend
the trip.
"This is an exciting time for the
music department said Yates " I think
this trip will help bring about more
recognition for the music department.
Funding for the trip has now
became one of the major focuses for the
music department. The projected cost
to take the orchestra on the trip is
approximately $150,000, which is
expected to come from charitable dona-
tions to the music department.
"Every7 little bit helps towards our
goal to raise money for the trip
Morrison said. "All donations will
greatly be appreciated

dent form Prague. In the spring of 1998,
Mizera played in the ECU Symphony
Orchestra and upon his return home
urged festivals directors to issue the invi-
tation.
Mizera lived with Morrison and his
family during the stay in the United
States.
"It was sad to see him go said
Morrison. "He had become family
ECU's attendance marks the first
American ensemble to attend the festi-
val. Prior participants in the festival have
included orchestras from France,
Germany, Belgium, Sweden and the
Slovak Republic.
According to Morrison, the timing of
the trip could not be better.
"1999 marks the 175th anniversary of
the birth of one of the greatest Czech
composers, Bedrich Smetana said
Morrison. " I had already planned a spe-
cial complete performance of his great-
est work. Ma Ylast. Now we will be able
to honor this great composer in the city
in which he lived and composed
The festival, which was inaugurated
in 1994, will be held from Oct. 28
through Nov. 17. These dates will com-
memorate important dates in Czech his-
tory. ECU plans to perform three con-
certs which will focus on American
music for one part of the ensemble and
and the second half to celebrate the
Czech influences.
ECU will perform for three shows in
Prague Berno, and Vienna, Austria.
ECU freshman Drew Yates is among
one of the music majors hoping to attend
the trip.
"This is an exciting time for the
music department said Yates " I think
this trip will help bring about more
recognition for the music department.
Funding for the trip has now
became one of the major focuses for the
music department. The projected cost
to take the orchestra on the trip is
approximately $150,000, which is
expected to come from charitable dona-
tions to the music department.
"Every little bit helps towards our
goal to raise money for the trip
Morrison said. "All donations will
greatly be appreciated

The East Carolinian
November Indian Heritage Month
3 Tiwullliv Mnyj
Events reflect Native
American history
Devon White
STAFF WHITER
The month of November has been
declared Indian Heritage month in
North Carolina by Governor James
B. Hunt.
North Carolina Indians com-
prise the largest American Indian
population of any state east of the
Mississippi River, and the seventh
largest in the nation. According to
the 1990 U.S. Census, North
Carolina's Indian population totals
over 80,000 throughout all 100
counties. Six tribes are recognized
by North Carolina : The Eastern
Band of Cherokee, Coharie,
Haliwa-Saponi, Lumbee, Meherrin
and Waccamaw-Siouan. The
Eastern Band of Cherokee is also
recognized by the federal govern-
ment. Other tribes also exist that

are unofficially recognized such as
the Guilford Native American
Association, Cumberland County
Association for Indian People and
Metrolina Native American
Association.
Archeological evidence indi-
cates that Native Americans
were living in North Carolina
10,000 years ago. Native
Americans of the Virginia and
North Carolina coasts were
hosts to the first English-speak-
ing explorers and settlers.
Natives taught fishing and agri-
cultural techniques to the new-
comers. They introduced the
settlers to new methods of land
clearing, showing them how to
make efficient use of the new
crops such as corn and tobacco.
Many activities were planned to
celebrate the Indian Heritage
month. Events such as the
Lumbee Tribe's Fall Festival &
Pow Wow, Fifth Annual Native
Cultural Festival (for school
children). Native American
Celebration, and Native
American Wild Game Festival
gave an opportunity for children
and adults alike to learn more about
the Native American heritage of
North Carolina, especially at a time
when cultural diversity and educa-
tion has became so important in
keeping the Native American her-
itage alive.
"It is a great time not only to dis-
cuss the contributions of Indian
people, but also the contemporary
histories and lifestyles of the over
80,000 who live in North Carolina
today" said Gregory Richardson,
executive director of the N.C
Commission of Indian Affairs.
Although the turn out wasn't as
good as hoped for, the events still
went well. The contributions of
people around the state helped to
bring about some type of recogni-
tion for Native Americans.
"We had hoped for more support
from the school systems across
North Carolina Richardson said.
As the years continue perhaps
the interest in the awareness of
Native American culture will
improve. Next year look for more
publicity as the state during the
dedicated month. Sometimes pro-
grams have a hard time getting off
to a solid start, but after a little work
these become important events in
the calendar.
Aged Garlic Extract reduces stroke
is Risk factors reduced
for heart disease
Cara Davis
staff writer
A recent study led by Manfred
Steiner, MD, Ph.D researcher at
East Carolina School of Medicine
found that using an aged garlic
extract (AGE) reduced cardiovascu-
lar disease risk factors.
Over 60 million Americans suf-
fer from some form of heart disease
and more than 40 percent of all
deaths each year in the United
States are due to cardiovascular dis-
ease, eventually leading to heart
attacks and strokes. Risk factors for
heart disease include cigarette
smoking, high blood pressure, high
blood cholesterol levels, inactivity,
stress, obesity and diabetes.
When the aged garlic extract is
administered over extended peri-
ods of time the risk factors are
reduced for stroke and heart dis-
ease; aged garlic extract decreased
LDL cholesterol levels by 5 to 7
percent. A reduction of blood pres-
sure in the same 5 to 7 percent
range was also found during the
study. Aged garlic extract is odor-
less and is different in its chemical
make-up than that of fresh garlic.
"The aging process changed
several of the key components and
makes it more easily absorbed in
the stomach and small intestine
Steiner said. He went on to say
that a main cause of heart disease
along with stroke is hardening of
the arteries. This process can be
dramatically slowed with the
antioxidants found within this
extract.
"I'm not saying this will reverse
heart disease or stroke risk factors,
but it may slow down the process
Steiner said.
To have a healthy heart at age 80
or 90 pay attention to major risk fac-
tors. Don't smoke, maintain nor-
mal weight and follow a nutritious
diet schedule. Examine your
behaviors and change any which
contribute to the risk of heart dis-
ease and blood vessel disease.
Originally from Austria, Steiner
is now a professor in the
Department of Medicine, Section
of Hematology-Oncology at the
ECU School of Medicine. He pre-
sented his findings, "Recent

Six athletes charged in shooting death at State
Lea Delicio
NEWS EDITOR OF N.C. STATE
STUDENT NEWSPAPER "THE
TECHNICIAN-
Neil Davis was shot in his town
home early Sunday morning.
Raleigh Police Department has
Charged six in relation to the crime.
t Three N.C. State football play-
ers, two members of the NCSU
wrestling team and one former
member of the NCSU wrestling
team have been charged in con-
nection with the shooting death of
an NCSU student.
Neil Vernon Davis Jr a lifelong
education student in undergradu-
ate studies, died after a shooting in
his home at 4306 Hunter's Club
Drive at 2:30 a.m. Sunday, accord-
ing to a statement issued by the
Raleigh Police Department
(RPD).
Clyde Williams Blunt, a sopho-
more and a member of the NCSU
wrestling team, is charged with
involuntary manslaughter and mis-
demeanor breaking and entering,
according to the RPD statement.
Also, among those charged,
according to the RPD statement,
are three NCSU football players;
Harold Jackson, a sophomore and a
fullback, is reportedly charged with
accessory to a felony, misdemeanor
breaking and entering and misde-
meanor assault. Willie Wright, a
freshman and wide receiver, is
reportedly charged with larceny of
a firearm, misdemeanor breaking
and entering and misdemeanor
assault. Davis Stringer, a freshman
and a wide receiver, is reportedly
charged with accessory to a felony,
misdemeanor breaking and enter-
ing and misdemeanor assault.
One other NCSU wrestler and
one former wrestler are charged in
relation to Davis' death as well.
The wrestler, Michael Mordarski, a
freshman, is reportedly charged
with misdemeanor breaking and
entering.
According to Captain Mike
Longmire of the RPD, Blunt is
charged with involuntary
manslaughter because he did not
show premeditation or malice
when he allegedly shot Davis.
"We're not saying that Mr.
Blunt went to Mr. Davis' house
with the intent to kill him
Longmire said.
In speculating as to what the
men were doing at Davis' resi-
dence, Longmire said: "We've
charged three other people with
misdemeanor assault, so I guess
you could draw some conclusion
from that
The police do know that Davis
was "killed with a gun that was in
his Davis' possession according
to Longmire. Police have not yet
checked the ownership of that gun.
Police are still investigating the
case. They know there were other
people in the house at the time but
had not been able to positively
identify them as of Sunday night-
Chancellor Marye Anne Fox
said Sunday night that the incident
was a tragedy.
"Our concern is with the stu-
dents and their families she said.
NCSU will release an official
statement on Tuesday morning,
according to Fox.
Under current charges, Blunt
could receive from two to a little
over four years in jail should he be
found guilty of involuntary
manslaughter.

Another tuition hike? As if the students of ECU do not pay enough money to go to this
school, the UNC Board of Governors approved a two percent tuition hike for all 16 North
Carolina campuses. More than 155,000 students are affected by this increase.
ECU decided to add the increase to the fall tuition instead of sending supplemental tuition
bills to students after they had already paid. At least our administration had the class not to
send out supplemental bills to collect the two percent tuition hike like UNC-Chapel Hill's
administration opted to do. Imagine paying for the spring semester and then receiving a
second bill demanding another two percent. That is just plain tacky.
Attending a university costs a pretty penny. When tuition is increased every year, more
students are deprived of a higher education, especially students from North Carolina's rural
eastern region. This tuition hike will also hinder students who wish to take a full course load
but do not have the money to be full-time students.
Consider that the average out-of-state student pays $9,000 per year to attend our university,
not including room and board. Out-of-state students will be forced to pay another $180 per
year to attend ECU. That may not seem like a large sum of money if your parents foot your
tuition bill. However, if you pay your own tuition, an extra $180 might make a serious
difference.
The UNC Board of Governors intends to use the increase to cover the costs of doing
business as a university system. While the UNC system is famous for its low tuition costs
relative to other state systems, TEC feels that increases in the wake of especially healthy years
in terms of the state's financial situation are unfortunate.
We as students need to band together to object to the constant rise in tuition every year.
Voice your opinion to the legislature that rules our school. Why are we not told about this in a
letter to each and every student who will be affected by the tuition hike? We as students need
to speak our minds to the legislators who continues to make it more financially difficult for
students to pay for their education.

Kennemur
Ryan's dad speaks out
? I feel that life and death
should occur in the exact
opposite way.
A lot of people who know me well
(all three of you) ask me the same
question. "Hey Ryan-Dogg you
say. "Why don't you take the time
to let us look into your family life?
It seems like your column ideas
come from nowhere, perhaps it
would help if we knew something
about your background
Well, you asked for it! We at
your favorite newspaper are always
interested in giving the people
what they want, so instead of your
usual opinion column we are going
to let my dad give it a shot! Don't
say I didn't warn you. Heeeeeere's
Daddy!
My son Ryan comes home
every once in a while and reads me
the articles he has written for the
East Carolinian. As an alumni of
ECU, I feel that I should have
equal time to expand on what's
been on my mind for some time
now. I feel that life and death
should occur in the exact opposite
way. Let me explain.
When you die you would come
out of the ground, ride home in a
Cadillac and eat all the food your
neighbors brought over, then go
directly into retirement. You can
spend all of your time on the beach
or golf course, living on a monthly
check that the government sends
you. You would have all the
knowledge you ever need to get
you through life.
As time passes, your hearing,
eyesight, etc. will get better to help
you through your adult years. Your
children would be old enough to
look after themselves, as well as
you. You would already have
money in the bank to buy things
with, you could even pay cash for
that new house!
Years later, you would be able to
go out and act crazy and do stupid
things (note: like falling out of a
tree stand and breaking both arms!
I had to say itRyan) and everyone
would understand. Then, at the
very last minute you would be
born, in which case you would
move into this comfy little taco-
shaped condominium. You could
live in this warm little place for
eternity, and never have to be
buried in the cold ground. Sounds
good to me! Thanks for letting me
share that. Ryan's dad. We now
return you to your regularly
scheduled column, already in
progress.
Well, I hope that clears up a few
things. Now you know where I get
it from. Oh, by the way, my dad is
not really that weird. He just has a
lot of time to think since he got out
of the institution. (Sorry Dad, they
had to know.) To his credit, I feel
obligated to tell you that he is
responsible for the inventions of
the external combustion engine
and the artificial appendix.
Well, that about does it for me
this week! By the way, if you have
any questions for me or any topic
ideas, just write to
rtk0623@mail.ecu.edu. I would
appreciate the input. Have a
great Thanksgiving and save me
some turkey.
LETTER
to the Editor
Polish slur not enlightened, appreciated
This letter is in response to an
opinion column that appeared in
last Thursday's paper. The writer,
Stephen Kleinschmit, in his
previous columns has rarely
demonstrated even the slightest
indication of rational thought, and
in his latest opinion column has
displayed his true nature not only
as a total moron but also as an
ignorant and insensitive bigot. I am
referring to the poor analogy Mr.
Kleinschmit drew between himself
and "an intoxicated Polock on
stilts
In case you were unaware, Mr.
Kleinschmit, the word "Polock" is a
derogatory term for a Polish person.
Maybe this hasn't occurred to you
because "dumb Polock" jokes are
so widespread. Had you chosen a
different ethnic group as the target
of your joke, there probably would
have been a huge uproar. However,
the low percentage of people of
Polish descent on this campus does
not in any way justify your use of
derogatory terms when referring to
them. In general, you should be
more careful about who you choose
to insult by lowering them to your
subhuman level of intelligence, and
you should at least consider the
alternative to your narrow-minded
point of view before you put it in
print and have it widely distiibuted.

Language classes hinder many
One of the main problems I
have with the foreign
language requirement is that
they require you to take four
semesters of it.
When I think of the foreign
language requirement at ECU, it
doesn't exactly embrace me as the
most essential or the most
important part of a college
education. I even had to change
my major and degree program
partially because of difficulty with
the foreign language requirement.
I can honestly tell you that the only
thing that I can recall from taking
French last semester is that French
people are snotty, inconsiderate,
are decent at making wine and
suck at fighting wars. Heck, the
day after the final exam, I couldn't
tell you what the professor's name
was, let alone the endearing
(laugh) knowledge that they
bestowed to me.
One of the main problems I
have with the foreign language
requirement is that they require
you to take four semesters of it.
And through high school and
college, I have had three different
teachers, all of which would get
discouraged because nobody gives
a flip about foreign language,
American kids are generally
isolated from foreign cultures and
are uncomfortable talking to
people from other countries,
American kids are apathetic about
world affairs, we have enough
dialects of English that are difficult
to understandYankee, Southern,
Gangsta,South Boston, etc.)
already, or if we study, we'll miss
Springer.
The other thing is that the
professors will speak only in the
foreign language the entire class.
As Busta Rhymes so eloquently
put it , what the dilly yo? I am
making an earnest attempt to learn
about a foreign language, and I am
forced to sit for an hour listening to
someone ramble on more
unintelligibly than a drunken
hyena. I don't believe that this is a
very efficientor reasonableway
to teach. For all those people who
take Math 1065, how would von
feel if the teacher came in each day
and just wrote equations on the
board all day without saying
anything? It's a rather unnerving
way to educate.
Finally, why do we need foreign
language? The only countries that
I want to go to are Canada, Ireland,
Great Britain and AustraliaThey
all speak English there. The only
non-English speaking country that
I would go to would be Germany.
And I am sure that 1 will be a
proficient translator with my three
hours of instruction a week
(sarcasm).
The United States is the only
country in the world that doesn't
use the metric system, and we can
really care less about soccer. We are
used to doing things our way.
When we step up to the plate, the
world cowers in fear. It's the
American way. And that's why if
we don't want to screw up our
GPA's by taking difficult and
unimportant foreign language
courses, then we shouldn't have to.
Maybe we could instead require
courses in idiotic musical landmark
design, and how to finance the
exponentially increasing cost of a
parking sticker.

Well-rounded education the point
Although I hate it, the point
of a foreign language
requirement is abundantly
clear. It broadens your
mind.
I hate it. You hate it. I lell, most of
the professors hate it. The foreign
language requirement will most
likely be the sole cause of my
staying at ECU an extra semester,
and is in general the bane of my
existence. Many of us will may
never leave USA, so why learn to
speak Spanish, French or
German?
Well, why not? To start with,
ECU is just that. A University. It is
not a trade school where we come
to learn a skill and immediately go
apply it in a trade. We are a liberal
arts college, and we are here to be
educated. In the old days (the ones
your grandparents talk about;
when they had to walk 30 miles
through the snow to get to college,
uphill both ways) an education was
not considered complete without a
stint overseas. Now it seems we arc
just here to get our diplomas and
head straight to an office to sit on
our hind parts all day and stare into
the face of a computer. Our only
joy, playing Naked Tetris when the
boss is out.
Although I hate it, the point of
the foreign language requirement
is abundantly clear. It broadens
your mind. So you may never visit
Zimbabwe. But knowing the
language there at least makes it
feasible that you could do so.
Different languages require
different thought patterns. Your
brain has to work differently to
process Spanish than it does to
process English. By introducing
new thought patterns, your mind
expands its capabilities. So the
reasons for keeping the language
requirement thus far are pretty
obvious.
What I don't understand is
why some majors don't have it.
Ones that you would think could
really utilize a language capability
seem to completely neglect it, like
the theater major. You know those
guys could use it as much as
anybody else. Why are they
exempt?
So maybe universities are
becoming less a place to be
educated and more a place to leam
a trade. Maybe the language
requirement is on its way out. But
truly educated people have an
understanding of other cultures
and people, that's why we have
social science requirements.
Learning another culture's,
language is an eye-opening
experience. It gives you insight
into the way they think and relate
to each other, and that insight
contributes to your understanding
of the way that the world works. It
makes you a more complete
individual.
Even though I feel that the
foreign language requirement
screwed me in several ways, I'm
glad it's there. I'll appreciate
knowing how speak Spanish one
day. Maybe not today. Maybe not
tomorrow, or the next day, or the
next, but someday. Hasta luego,
mis amigos.

CONTRIBUTING WRITER
The archaeology program at ECU is part
of the anthropology department's triad of
programs that include archaeology, bio-
? logical anthropology and
H cultural anthropology.
JM The anthropology
' department's archaeology
H program is flourishing these
days as a pattern of summer
semester archaeology field-
school digs have been established that
will alternate between historical archae-
ology, which is under the direction of Dr.
Charles Ewen, and prehistoric archaeolo-
gy, which is conducted by Dr. Randolph
Daniel. At present, there are over twen-
ty graduate students in the program.
"We hope to expand Ewen said.
"The classes are packed
During the first summer session of
1W8, students participated in a field
school conducted by Dr. Daniel and Dr.
John Byrd in the Croatan National
Forest. Undergraduates and graduate
students working on his or her thesis had
the opportunity to work at several sites
which, on this occasion, included both
historic and prehistoric remains.
The first site excavated was a prehis-
toric shell midden left by local Native
Americans. A shell midden is essentially
an ancient trash heap. While, obviously,
shells are the largest compo-
nent of such a midden, there
are often many other things .
to find such as projectile
points, pottery shards and
occasionally plant and bone remains, that
are very revealing about the lifestyles of
the first inhabitants of North Carolina.
One of the reasons that this dig was
conducted was the concern expressed by
the Forest Service that some suspected
sites situated alongside rivers might have
been damaged by the hurricanes we have
experienced in recent years, which can
erode the shoreline and thus might dis-
turb or even destroy remains.
Another site examined by the stu-
? ?

dents was a suspected civil war
blockhouse which was held alter-
nately iff the Confederacy and then
by the Union, and was thought to
have been built to guard a section of
railway line. This site serves to point
out that archaeology is not just "fortune
and glory" but rather a hard, sweaty pro-
fession that demands a great deal physi-
cally and mentally from its practitioners.
Here, before any surface collecting or
digging could even begin, the land had to
be cleared of both large and small trees,
underbrush and vines. After an
incident with a chainsaw, it was
decided that the trees would have
to be cleared the old fashioned
way: with axes. Even when this
was accomplished, there remained
the even more difficult task of cutting
though the endless tree roots filling any
spot where digging was thought best.
Several other sites were also exam-
ined to greater or lesser degrees, depend-
ing on what a preliminary survey
revealed (and on available man-power
and time).
As one might imagine, one of the
results of this yearly frenzy of activity is
a sizable collection of artifacts gathered
from many different sites.
All of this material is presently to be
found stored in the Archaeology Lab,
which is located in the same building
housing Financial Aid, just beyond the
inner courtyard and up the stairs.
While Ewen says that students and
other groups are permitted to visit the
lab and see the artifacts "on an appoint-
ment basis"(interested parties should
contact Ewen if they wish to do this)
there has been some discussion
of the possibility of creating
. a museum to display sonic
fe of the materials the lab con-
l& tains.
A proposal to that effect
was drafted last year, but it has not yet
been acted on.
"It's just a matter of space and fund-
ing Ewen said. "I don't think anyone
is really opposed to it
Aside from the North Carolina his-
toric and prehistoric sites contain-
ing "some very interesting things
Ewen points out that the lab also
has artifacts from the
Mediterranean, including some of
Greek and Roman origin. There
are also pieces from Mesoamerica
as well as masks from Mexico.
In addition, members of other
departments are also interested in
the idea of a museum. In
L i letter, Dr. Runyan,
Director of the pro-
wf gram in Maritime
History and Nautical
Archaeology, expressed his sup-
port of the idea. He pointed out
during an interview that in March of
1999 an exhibit of some of the arti-
facts recovered from the ship suspected
of being Blackbeard's Queen Ann's
Revenge will be on display in the North
Carolina Collection of the Joyner
Library.
In the future, if a museum is created,
such displays can take place there. Thfe
library has a collection of materials in rJB?,
University Archives that could be placer
in a museum, including many items from
the early years of ECU.
Ewen mentioned funding is perhaps
the primary obstacle to building a muse-
um on campus since it will need, aniong
other things, a core full time staff. The
solution, Dr. Runyan suggests, is the cre-
ation of a Board of Trustees who will
be responsible for raising the
necessary funds.

The Emerald city is widely known
for ECU and the Pirates, but many
people do not realize the vast com-
munity that consists of children in
the area. One university organiza-
tion does recognize this and reach-
es out to give back to the kids.
East Carolina Friends is a big
brother big sister mentoring pro-
gram that pairs children from the
area (known as "little friends") with
an ECU student (known as a "big
friend").
The organization was estab-
lished about 13 years ago by Dr.
Linda Mooney, a professor in the
sociology department.
"A student came up to mc in one
of my classes and asked if there
were any child mentoring programs
in the area Mooney said. "There

According to Jamie Ellis, presi-
dent of East Carolina Friends, there
are currently about 35 members
involved in the organization who
are a friend to children between the
ages of six and 12 who need a little
bit more attention in their lives.
"We send applications to local
elementary schools and the coun-
selors, parents, or the child fills it
out Ellis said. "Once they are
returned to us, we match the chil-
dren up with the ability of the
friend and the need of the child
As a whole, East Carolina
Friends plan many activities for all
the "little friends" involved in the
organization such as Christmas par-
ties, end of the year parties, and,
just recently, their Halloween
party.
"The Halloween party

big friend. "All of the kids were a

It seems that students are constant-

you go, there are fliers and adver-

Everyone tries to plan ahead
while in college and those who are
successful at this are more likely to
succeed later on in life. Getting

level of responsibility. Being
involved shows that you are respon-
sible enough to handle the daily
stresses of college life and are more
than qualified to handle a full time
job. Having this positive level of
responsibility allows the student to
build an attractive resume. Some
things that are attractive on a
resume are leadership positions and
involvement in non-profit organiza-
tions.
When a student can be selfless
iftd give his or her time and talents
rjbey are admired by most adults
4tho have lost faith in the younger
generations.
Bobby Burns of The Daily
Reflector feels as an employer that
someone who has internships and
experience is more likely to get
hired than someone with little
experience.
"Drive and enthusiasm gets the
job Burns said.
According to Dr. Jim
Westmoreland, Director of Career
Services, in any interview the per-
son who has service experience has
actual examples of how they devel-
op his or her communication skills.
Employers look for people who can
talk about examples of things that
they have done. Someone who has
been an intern at a hospital while in
college will be more likely to be
hired than someone with no hands-
on experience.
Getting involved will strengthen
resumes, communities and your
own individuality. So, if you're not
involved with at least one extra-cur-
ricular activity, get involved with
something! The world needs more
responsible, selfless human beings.

"The contract states that the

at least two hours a week with
hisher little friend, and attend all of

Also applicants must have a 2.0
GPA, pay a five dollar due for the
whole year and, if you are planning
to use your car as a mode of trans-
portation for you and your little
friend, a copy of your driving record
and insurance information is need-

The East Carolinian
Football team wins
season finale, 34-31
Humanitarian Bowl
bid still possible
Travis B rk.i.ei
SENIOR v H I l l li
For the second week in a row,
records fell during ECU's football
game, but while Louisville's Chris
Redmond did most of the record
breaking last week, this time it was
Pirate freshman David Garrard.
Garrard completed 33 of 44
passes for a school record of 414
yards as ECU rallied to beat
Memphis 34-31. With the win,
ECU finishes the fourth winning
campaign in the last five years with
a 6-5 overall record.
Carrard's passing total broke
Marcus Crandell's mark of 392
yards, set againsi Syracuse iii 1995.
Garrard threw three touchdowns
without an interception and fin-
ished with the highest single sea-
Ison accuracy total in K( :l' history
fat 61.9 percent.
Despite Garrard's impressive
play this season, head coach Steve
Logan said Garrard has played
more than he planned.
"Quite honestly, he's played
more than 1 wanted him to and
he's shouldered more than I want-
ed him to Logan said. "It's a
long, long season for a freshman
and we see it happen every year to
them. Around the 7th, 8th and 9th
games, we see freshmen all the
time that just swoon on you.
"David has been good along
those lines. I Ic hasn't had much of
that. I think Hobby Weaver early
in the season prevented him from
having to take all of it
The team's leading receiver,
Troy Smith, did not play because
of a knee sprain suffered againsr
Louisville. Injuries also hampered
junior flanker LaNlonr Chappell,
who played sparingly because of a
sore hamstring. Nine different
Pirates caught passes on Saturday,
led by seniors J.J. McQueen and

Miss is invited to the Music City
Bowl, it would open Conference
USA's spot in the Humanitarian
Bowl for the Pirates.
An ECU bowl bid seemed
highly unlikely in the first half on
Saturday as Memphis jumped out
to a 24-7 lead. ECU battled back,
cutting the deficit to three on
Jamie Wilson's one yard touch-
down run before halftime.
After a scoreless third quarter
that saw both teams turn the ball
twice, ECU finally took the lead
28-24 on McQueen's second
touchdown catch of the day.
Memphis then regained the lead
31-28. ECU appeared to retake
the lead on its next drive as
Garrard found Chappell in the end
zone on third and goal from the
one. The referees ruled that
Chappell bobbled the ball, forcing
ECU to tie the game with an 18
yard field goal. Television replays
showed that the ball never hit the
ground and that the play should
have been ruled as a touchdown.
The Pirate defense stiffened on
Memphis' final drive, forcing the
Tigers to punt. Garrard led ECU
on a 73 yard final drive, which cul-
minated in Andrew Bayes' game-
winning, 41 yard field goal. Only
seven seconds remained in the
game.
Although he didn't get a sack
on Saturday, senior linebacker Rod
Coleman finished his career as
ECU's all-time sack leader with 39.
Coleman says he hopes to extend
his playing career to the NFL.
"I've got to go to the Senior

them into the next season.

The Pirates finished their sea-
son with a record of 10-18.
According to Walker, the record was
not reflective of the Pirates' effort
this season.
"The only thing I'm truly disap-
pointed with this season is our
record Walker said. "That's how
we're measured. That's our society,

Despite their losing record, the
Pirates do not view the entire sea-

gets better
Next season, all of the cur-

Lady Pirates
face busy break
Frenchman shocks field to win men's slalom
Women's basketball
hopes to continue wins
Jason Latoir
senior writer
The ECU women's basketball
team's season hits full stride over
Thanksgiving break as the Lady
Pirates are scheduled to play three
games in the span of the week.
They are hoping to continue the
strong play which led them to a 64-
43 road win over Campbell last
Monday.
The team travels to Charlotte
early this week to take on in-state
foe UNC Charlotte on Monday,
Nov. 24, at 7 p.m. The game will
be a home-coming for ECU head
coach Dee Gibson, who played at
UNCC from 199193 under cur-
rent 49ers head coach Ed Baldwin.
The Lady Pirates are hoping to
continue to receive production
from key players, including junior
transfer Waynetta Veney, who
helped ECU with 19 points against
Campbell, and freshman Teana
McKiver, who lead the team with 5
blocks. UNCC is lead by returning
guard senior Nikki Richardson,
who averaged 13 points per game
last season, and junior Shemika
Turner.
The Lady Pirates will then trav-
el to Fairfield, CT to participate in
the Fairfield University Warner
Classic. ECU will face the tourna-
ment host Fairfield Stags in the
first game of the tournament on
Friday, Nov. 27th, at 5 p.m. Based
upon the results of the first game,
the Lady Pirates will either face
the winner of the tournaments'
other game, Wake Forest vs.
Fairleigh Dickinson, in the cham-
pionship or will play the loser in
the consolation game. Both the
championship and consolation
game will be held on Nov. 28th.
The tournament presents ECU
with it's first-ever match up with
Fairfeld, while the Lady Pirates
hold a 4-1 series lead over Fairleigh
Dickinson and a 4-2 series lead
over Wake Forest.
The possible match-up with
Wake Forest could pit ECU assis-
tant coach Jennifer Mitchell up
against her alma mater. Mitchell
was an outstanding member of
Wake Forests' womens basketball
team before graduating in 1991.
PARK CITY, Utah (AP) Pierrick
Bourgeat will probably wake up
with a sore dialing finger. But it's
not every day you get to call home
to France and share a first World
Cup victory with family and
friends.
The 22-ycar-oId Bourgeat didn't
figure to be spending so much time
chatting on the phone after
Saturday's first run of a men's
slalom. Blinded by a snowstorm
and stunned when he hit himself in
the chin with a ski pole, he stag-
gered to a 14th-place finish.
Visibility returned for the after-
noon run and, despite huge ruts at
some of the gates, Bourgeat took
full advantage.
"It's the perfect kind of condi-
tions for me, when I have to fight
' Bourgeat said. "In conditions like
these, I have to ski my best
Bourgeat, whose best previous
performance was a second last year,
made up over two seconds on the
field in the afternoon run, thanks in
large part to his skill at maneuver-
ing through ruts that tossed his
competition like rag dolls.
"I don't like these conditions,
but I still skied very hard said
Bourgeat, who was so overcome by
his victory he kept forgetting words
in English, a language he speaks
well. "On my second run, I decid-
ed I must rake chances.
"It's great, it's wonderful, it's
magnificentl"
It was the first French slalom
victory since a 19 triumph by
Sebastian Amiez, who settled for
sixth on Sunday. Bourgeat had a
second run of 51.19 seconds.
Basketball
continued from page 7
Jaimie Simmons led the fight-
ing Camels (0-3) with 13 points,
making nine of 10 shots from the
foul line. Campbell shot only 31
percent (14 of 35) for the game.
The Pirates are back in action at
home on Tuesday, Nov. 24, against
Southwestern Louisiana (0-1),
where they will try for their first
home victory of the season.
Southwestern lost their to
Southern Mississippi 57-51 in their
last game and is also hoping to win.
The teams have met twice in the
past two seasons, and the Pirates
won both times. USL will be led
by guard David Patrick and for-
ward Reginald Poole, who both
average 12 points and four
rebounds per game.
"Southwestern Louisiana will
bring in a good team Tuesday
Dooley said. "We'll need to come
out ready to play and hopefully
we'll get the win Tip-off is set for
7 p.m. in Williams Arena at Minges
Coliseum.
"I was really motivated for the
second run. I didn't think I could
win; I was aiming at a top-8 result
Bourgeat said.
Bourgeat completed two runs in
1 minute, 43.34 seconds, a healthy
.44 seconds faster than Norway's
Olympic champion, Hans-Petter
Buraas, who led the Frenchman by
1.67 seconds after a morning ses-
sion run during a snowstorm.
Although blue skies reappeared
for the second run, an army of
course workers was unable to
sweep away the snow cover, and
the racers soon built that loose
snow into huge ruts, particularly on
the gates midway down the steep
portion of the Clementine layout.
Austria's Christian Mayer, who
would claim third in 1:44.02, said
he didn't ski his best.
"But this is a very tough course
under these conditions Mayer
said. "I'm very excited about this
weekend because I'm skiing very
well
Mayer, second in Friday's giant
slalom, parlayed his two-podium
weekend into the lead in the World
Cup overall standings. He has 190
points to 180 for teammate Stefan
Eberharter, who doesn't ski slalom.
Mayer had just finished when
the five heavy hitters from the first
run, four Norwegians and a
Slovenian, lined up to try their
luck.
Each charged from the gate,
each handled the top gates well,
but each was jostled from gate to
gate midway down the steeps.
Slovenia's Jure Kosir, second in the
morning, almost came to a halt
after crashing into one of the ruts, a
collision that helped drop him to
12th.
Buraas came closest to master-
ing the mid-steep minefield,
although he couldn't approach
Burgcat's time. Kjetil Andre
Aamodt, a close fifth in the morn-
ing, dropped to a tie for ninth and
teammate Ole Kristian Furuseth
went from fourth to 16th.
50 YEAR ANNIVERSARY
Southern Miss to Humanitarian Bowl
RENO, Nev. (AP) Playing on a
blue football field in Idaho appears
to be in Southern Mississippi's
future. Lee Roberts passed for 344
yards and three touchdowns
Saturday, breaking Favre's season
yardage record and tying his record
of 52 career touchdown passes, in a
55-28 win over Nevada that may
have clinched a berth to the
Humanitarian Bowl.
Southern Miss (7-4, 5-1 in
Conference USA), apparently has
wrapped up a bid to the bowl game
at Boise, Idaho, but the Golden
Eagles are hoping for a better invi-
tation after winning six of its last
seven.
"We'll be happy to go to the
Humanitarian Bowl if that's what
happens said Southern Miss ath-
letic director Bill McLellan. "But it
would be nice to go to somewhere
closer so more of our fans could go
to the game
But after breaking one of Brett
Favre's records, Roberts says he
will be happy to have the chance to
lead the Golden Eagles to any bowl
game after a 1-3 start.
"It's really good to be mentioned
in the same sentence with Brett
Favre. He did great things at
Southern Miss and has made a
name for himself in the NFL
Roberts said.
"Next season, somebody could
tome along and break it. What peo-
ple are going to look back on and
remember about meis that he led
his team to a 7-4 record and to a
bowl game
Freshman Derrick Nix ran for
219 yards and two touchdowns and
Todd Pinkston caught 12 passes for
203 yards, including a 14-yard TD
pass from Roberts.
Roberts completed 22-of-37
attempts, leading Southern Miss to
a 27-0 lead before Nevada's Chris
Lemon ran 5 yards for a touchdown
just before the half.
In the second half, Roberts
threw touchdowns of 10 yards to
Sherrod Gideon and 9 to Eddie
Shaw to tie Favre's career TD pass-
ing mark. His 344 passing yards
Saturday gave him 2,780 for the
season, surpassing the mark of
2,588 Favre set in 1989.
"I've never seen Lee sharper
said USM coach Jeff Bower. "He
was really on target and making
good throws. We were really play-
ing well offensively and moving the
ball
Linebacker Brian Bell recovered
a fumble in the end zone and
DeQuincy Scott got a school-record
46th career sack for the Golden
Eagles defense that shut down the
nation's fifth-ranked offense most
of the game.
David Ncill, who set an NCAA
freshman record with 611 yards
passing in a single game for Nevada
this year, passed for 280 yards,
including touchdown passes in the
second half to Trevor Insiey of 13,
20 and 31 yards.
But Southern Miss' pass rush
kept him off balance much of the
game and he ended up scrambling
to become Nevada's leading rusher
on the day with 122 yards.
McLellan said he hopes
Saturday's win can give Southern
Miss more bowl options. At-large
berths to the Music City Bowl in
Nashville, the Jeep Aloha Bowl in
Honolulu and the Las Vegas Bowl
still remain.

PERFECTIONISM
VERSUS EXCELLENCE
"Life is not a gymnastics meet writes Dr. Kevin Leman in Growing Up.
Firstborn. "There are not five judges sitting out there waiting to hold up score
cards after everything you do. You do not have to run through life racking up a
perfect "10" in everything
Striving for perfection is a quality shared by many over achievers. Constantly
pushing oneself to make all "As to win every sport or to look "perfect" can be
exhausting. Some perfectionists may even give up trying if they feel the end
result will be less than perfect.
Dr. Leman encourages others to strive for excellence instead of perfection.
Pursuing excellence, which is within reach, leads to a healthier more balanced life
than chasing after perfection, which is definitely out of reach. Listed below are
some differences between pursuing excellence and chasing after perfection.

Think about these Alcohol Facts:
College students who are alcohol abusers and binge drinkers are:
11 Times more likely to fall behind in school.
10 Times more likely to drive after drinking.
7 Times more likely to have unprotected sex.
Approximately 240,000 to 360,000 of the nation's 12 million
current undergraduates will ultimately die from alcohol-related
causes - more than the number that will get MA's or PhD's combined.
College students who reported D and F grade point averages consumed
an average of 10 alcoholic drinks per week, while those who earned
mostly A's consumed slightly more than 3 drinks per week.
Alcohol-related auto accidents are the 1 killer among young people ages 16-24.
RESULTS FROM ECU'S CORE ALCOHOL SURVEY
95 of ECU students don't drink from Sunday to Thursday
84 of ECU students drink once a week or less
66 of ECU students said no to an offer to use alcohol or other drugs
69 of ECU students didn't use marijuana in the past year
Myth: 74 of our students believe their peers drink 3 times a week
Fact: only 17 report drinking this often

To Consume or Not to Consume
Joe and Joanne Student begin their holiday ride home.
JOE: Thanks for driving me home this Thanksgiving, Joanne. I'm so glad that the
beginning of the holidays is here. I can't wait to eat some home cooked food.
JOANNE: Yeah, the food will be good, but I'm going to be very careful about what
I eat. Did you know that Americans average a 6-8 pound weight gain during the
holidays?
JOE: No I didn't, but I don't really care. I'm going to fill up on cookies, stuffing,
pudding, pie, candies and turkey. I'm going to eat so much turkey. And, football
snacks with chili and chips. OH YEAH! I can't wait.
JOANNE: Well, I think you're being pretty stupid. I plan to be very selective this
holiday season. I will only take a sample of my favorite goodies rather than pigging out.
JOE: Are you crazy? Why would you get just a taste and then have to wait until
next year to get more? I'm going to get as much as I can, while I can.
JOANNE: You're going to be sorry when you don't fit into your old clothes. I'm
going to plan out the next day's eating before I go to bed at night and I'm definitely
going to stick to my plan. Then I'm going to wake up early and exercise every day.
JOE: Well, while your planning your meals, I'll be out drinking beers with my
friends. I'm not going to waste my holidays at home worrying about my diet. You
can do what you like in the morning but my holidays are for my rest and relaxation.
Don't plan to see me before noon, and don't plan to see me off the couch.
JOANNE: You can do what you want, but I warn you that eating, drinking and
sleeping add up to serious weight gain. If you skip meals then you'll overeat later
and if you don't exercise, then the holiday foods will really get to your waist size.
JOE: I don't believe that you're serious about this. What do you think
a New Year's resolution is for? I'll have a great holiday
season with no worries. I'll start my good habits
January 1st and be back to normal by January
15th.
JOANNE: We'll see Joe, we'll see. But I
can tell you that January is too late. You will
probably carry 6-8 holiday pounds with
you to Florida for Spring Break and after
the partying you do down there you may
not fit in the car on the way back.

gm H The Christmas holiday is fast approach-
ing which means another year of pushing
m?. trough malls, fighting over merchandise
and stressing over what to get the person
who has everything (or wants nothing). Well this dilem-
ma can easily be resolved at this year's Holiday
Exhibition and Sale sponsored by the School of Art.
From December 3-5, the Gray Art Gallery will exhib-
it art work from the different student art guilds, graduate
students and some faculty members.
"The School of Art has been sponsoring the exhibi-
tion and sale for the last 12 years said Gil Leebrick,
director of the Gray Gallery. "It's a very big deal.
Approximately 5000 square feet will be filled with a vari-
ety of pieces, all of which are for sale
"This is the second year 1 have been involved in the
Christmas sale said Amanda Proctor, an ECU art major.
"It is a good chance to have the experience of selling
your pieces and having your work on display"
The pieces on display will range from jewelry and
scarves to wood carvings and ceramics. The best part is
that all of the art work is one-of-a-kind, so you never
have to worry about you and a friend buying the same
thing.
"People will see a little bit of everything Leebrick

TheV-Roys
All About Town
9 out of lORyans
The V-Roys (formerly the Viceroys,
but some reggae band already had
that name) are back, and with a
vengeance. Their last effort lust Add
Ice was one of the best albums of
1996, and they continue their high
quality brand of bittersweet country-
tinged rock with their new release All
About Town.
These four guys from
Knoxvillc have come up with a batch
of songs that want to enter through
your ears and bounce around for a
few weeks. Scott Miller and Mic
Harrison share the songwriting and
singing responsibilities, an idea that
has gotten lost with the rock bands of
late. With the "Twangtrusl" (Steve
Early and Ray Kennedy) producing
this album, there is really nothing left
to stop this band from making it to
the big time.
The disk starts off with
"the window song which isn't the
strongest song on the album, but def-
initely holds its own. Next comes the
acoustic, almost bluegrass stylings of
"Mary This one is about as catchy
as a song gets.
The third track, "Amy 88
is a flat out rocker about a girl that
they only know from her license
plate It comes complete with blaring
guitars, a catchy HP chorus, and saxo-
phones!
This brings us to one of
the best songs on the disk, "Ariane"
This tale of lost love is so reminiscent
of the Beatles, I can't help but love it.
Scott Miller sings in his best tenor
voicethere's a place where I can
gowhere her memory still flowsit
cuts a deeper pathwith every season
past
"Strange the fifth track,
is possibly the weakest of the disk.
It's really nothing more than a bunch
of two-word sentences thrown
together to make a song. Pretty
lame. Then there's the cool little
acoustic ditty "Hold on to me" and
the Amy 88-ish "Miss Operator Both
of these songs are good, but they
don't exactly stand out. They just add
to the solidity of this album.
The last five songs are all
standouts. "Testify" begins with just
a bass line (sounds like a Phil Collins
song) and then jumps into a foot-
stomping sing along. "Sorry Sue" is a
very relaxed tune about unrequited
lovc.a real teary-eyed soliloquy of a
song.
"Over the Mountain" is
what you might call a "rollicking Irish
drinkin' song It has that beat that
you can swing your beer steins back
and forth to. Then comes the combi-
nation of "Virginia WayShenandoah
breakdown It starts out as a slow
acoustic song song, but ends up in a
full-blown bluegrass pickin' session,
compliments of the Del McCoury
Band.
The V-Roys must believe
in saving the best for last. "Fade
Away" is about Scott Miller's suicidal
sister. The lyrics speak for them-
selves. "Your eyes are mineYour fin-
gers fit my hands.It makes me
cryTo think I will not hold them
again The chorus is equally haunt-
ing. "If I could see you one more
dayIt would be the one before you
changedSee you later to say good-
bye
All About Town is a gen-
uinely great disk. It does more than
just sharpen the skills first shown on
their debut album; it marks the tran-
sition for a good band into a poten-
tially great one.

Band Review
Mghthawks swoop for a kill
Caleb Rose
Assistant Editor
? -Jk Who says downtown is for
: H college kids only? November
21 seemed to start out as a
dead night in downtown Greenville,
but The Attic had something up their
sleeve.
Washing D.C. blues men, The
Nighthawks, continued their 25-year
legacy when they delivered two sets of
music to a somewhat older-than-
usual-crowd that gathered at The
Attic
It was interesting to watch the
crowd mingling together as if they
were at a class reunion. There were
many hugs, handshakes, and how the
hell are you? conversations wafting
through the smoky air. Once reac-
quainted with their old mates, the
crowd was ready to get wild.
The Nighthawks took the stage
and opened with a hey, hey, hey chant
which kindled into a blues groove and
caused a dance eruption in the crowd.
One fan seemed to be doing
rounds as has waltzed all around The
Attic finding women and encouraging
them to dance along with him to the
music. It was an endless endeavor that
seemed to pay offat least it did for
him.
The Nighthawks had an arsenal of
blues numbers from all regional
types. Vocalist Mark Wenner shined
on Texas Blues numbers because his
gravelly voice is reminiscent of the
late Stevie Ray Vaughn. The slow
boom-chicka-boom rhythm that the
band perfected was an obvious nod to
the Chicago blues scene that attracted
such famous acts as B.B. King.
The Nighthawks also paid homage
to the Rolling Stones by covering
"Honest I Do which is currently on
the Hope Floats soundtrack.
Above and beyond, The
Nighthawks did something to
Greenville that is overlooked: they
brought some real, different music to
town. For all those who have com-
plained about the Greenville music
scene recently, this would have been a
great opportunity to hear some vari-
ety.
The Attic was transformed into a
madhouse bar on this Saturday night.
Everyone was having a good time
singing and dancing along.
Everyone gets the blues at some
point in time, and for all of those who
had them Saturday night, The
Nighthawks were the perfect
prescription.

Pleasantvilk is weird but cool
Ryan Kcnncmur
Movie Reviewer
There is a place out there, where
there's no crime, no fires, and
nobody gets hurtat least not so
had that it doesn't heal in a half an
hour.
This place is called
"Pleasantville and it is very real, or
at least it was. In the movie of the
same namePleasantville"is a
Donna Reed-ish television show
that comes on every evening in
David and Jennifer's house.
David (Tobey McGuire) is your
typical school nerd who does noth-
ing but read and watch episodes of
"Pleasantville Jennifer (Reese
Witherspoon) is his twin sister who
couldn't care less about school.
Indeed, she is more involved with
other extracurricular activities, such
as shopping, dating and sex. At the
start of the movie, she has just
made a date to watch a televised
concert with her newest conquest.
What she neglects to realize, howev-
er, is that the marathon of
"Pleasantville" is coming on at the
same time as the concert. Madness
ensues.
The twins fight over the remote
control, breaking it in the process.
Enter the TV Repairman, played by
Barney Fife (Don Knotts). He gives
them a new remote, which inciden-
tally looks like something off of
"Lost in Space They press the big
red button, and are suddenly
zapped into the screen, becoming
the two siblings from the Parker
family in the TV show. At first, I
thought this may be just another
movie where the people get sucked
into the TV (Stay Tuned) and go

Welcome. Please wipe your feet and leave your vices at the door
from channel to channel trying to
find a way out.

how the powers that be want every-
thing to stay the same in the set
outline, with themselves in total
control. In a wordsocialism
When the kids arrive in their
new black and white surroundings,
they have two different points of
view. David plans to act out the part
that he has been given until he can
figure out a way to get home.
Jennifer, in contrast, is intent on
teaching the local boys about some
of the more pleasurable facts of
lifenamelysex.
Every married couple in
"Pleasantville" has the typical setup.
They sleep in separate beds, but in
the same room. They occasionally
kiss, but it is just a goodbye peck.
They have heard the word "sex but
they aren't too sure what it
is. Apparenth the stork is
not just an dd wives tale.
Jennifer makes out with a
boy on lovers lane, and then
introduces him to the s-
word by saying "Don't
worry. It's supposed to do

Things start to happen.
In the middle of the black
g and white abyss, a red rose
appears on a bush, then
I another rose and then a per-
I son. The Parker's tree catch-
es on fire and people start to
wonder what's going on, and
so they go to David, who
informs everyone of the
wonder and delight that exists out-
side of "Pleasantville
The real standout is the visuals.
At one point, David and his new
love interest are driving a convert-
ible to Lover's Lane, and they drive
on a tree-bordered path.
Everything is in black and white
except for the colored leaves falling
down. This scene best summarizes
the movie by showing that, even
though there may be chaos, there is
still beauty hidden in every situa-
tion.
I won't give away the ending, but
I'm pretty sure you can figure it out.
This movie is highly entertaining,
and the performances are possibly
Oscar material.

Watch Wrafe Christmastfs good for ya!
Miccah Smith
Fountainhead
Editor
You're just like me. About now
you're feeling the familiar tug of the
old couch, the urge to plop down
with your folks and watch one of
those raggedy old Christmas
movies. Maybe even a Charlie
BrownGarfield double feature.
1 don't know you, but I feel your
pain. This Thanksgiving break I
myself was corralled into watching
a huge chunk of musical master
Irving Berlin's optimistic postwar
classic White Christmas.
Fortunately for yours truly, it's
always been a favorite of mine,
since I seem to have inherited my
mom's yen for funny, limber red-
heads like the legendary Danny
Kaye.
He stars alongside the heavy-eyed
Bing Crosby in this musical extrav-
aganza about two old Army chums
who scheme to help a retired Army
general out of financial difficulties,
since he sank all his life savings
into remodeling a Vermont ski
lodge with no snow in sight.
Yes, some of the numbers are
cheesy, but most are chock full of
the graceful Robert Alton choreog-
raphy that was just hitting full
stride back when our grandparents
were having kids. Rosemary
Clooney and Vera-Ellen play the
Haynes sisters, slim blonde side-
kicks to the two gentlemen, who
have turned to showbiz after being
discharged from the Army.
Together they bring a successful
New York vaudeville act to the ski
lodge in hopes of attracting cus-
tomers.
Guess what? The harebrained
scheme to help out the old general
works, and the actors frolic happily
in a bank of snow on Christmas
Eve. Aw gee whiz (I'm not quite sure
how they managed to get the snow,
though)!
White Christmas is one of those
movies that never goes out of style,
and like How the Grinch Stole
Christmas and It's a Wonderful Life,
it has a sure grip on prime time
television from Thanksgiving
throughout the rest of the season.
So you might as well bite the bullet
and watch it again, just for old
time's sake-
Pretend for a couple of hours that
you're not a jaded and cynical stu-
dent, and gape with wonder at the
fast-flyin' feet, wasp-waisted
women and general mind-melting
musical mayhem that is White
Christmas. And save some room on
the couch for your folks.
Surprise! Watching old movies with your folks ain't that bad!

horoscopes
ARIES:
(March 21-April 20)
You may have a tough time with
changes on a personal level. Since
these changes are going to take
place without your say-so learn to
accept them. Pay attention to your
home life, your family needs your
input - expressing positive feelings
will do wonders.
TAURUS:
(April21-May21)
New ideas need to be shared, and
the feedback of others may improve
the concepts. It's time to make way
for a new approach. Time out may
be a welcome change in your love
life - although there is love, the day
to day routine may have become
boring and tedious.
GEMINI:
(May 22-June 21)
Your need for solitude and quiet
may be hard to achieve. Make the
necessary compromises, meeting all
responsibilities, but keep your input
at a minimum. Try not to be so gen-
erous with money, or you may come
up short yourself. Expect defiance
from those not wanting change.
CANCER:
(June 22-July 23)
Use all available resources in the
most economic and efficient way
possible in order to reach your goal.
You might have to do some juggling,
but the extra effort will be worth it.
Others will end up amazed at how
much you were able to.do, with so
few resources.
LEO:
(July 24-August 23)
Perfection is not required, and will
no doubt be impossible to achieve.
Assuming any type of superior
stance will aggravate those around
you, try to leave well enough alone.
You have a great deal to think about,
especially concerning personal mat-
ters, take time to do so.
VIRGO:
(August 24 - September 23)
Resist any suggestion or manipula-
tion that tries to get you to give
more than you've got in terms of
time, money and energy. Standing
up for yourself will give you a great
feeling of success, boosting your
confidence tenfold. Don't budge on
what you believe.
LIBRA:
(September 24 - October 23)
Show your appreciation to your
friends and family. You have lots to
give those you love, and revealing
those feelings more often will bring
you joy and peace. Financial success
will be tied to a raise or promotion -
and if not now, advancement is in
the very near future.
SCORPIO:
(October 24 - November 22)
Learning something new will give
you a feeling of joy and confidence
which you can share with friends
and loved ones. You are currently
riding on a crest of continued suc-
cess either at work or on the home-
front, so be prepared for any unex-
pected difficulties.
SAGITTARIUS:
(November 23 - December 21)
What has previously seemed like a
potential disaster, probably concern-
ing a relationship, may instead turn
out positive and provide you with
new opportunities to create a more
stable and loving closeness. If you
find yourself in a rut, do something
about it now.
CAPRICORN:
(December 22 - January 20)
Any investments, especially in the
area of real estate or stocks, can pro-
vide you with excellent returns.
Communicate clearly with experts
in these fields before you make your
move. Try to let a troublesome prob-
lem take care of itself. Enjoy time
with your mate.
AQUARIUS:
(January 21 - February 19)
If you feel pressured about making a
choice, insist on more time to gather
the information and think about
what you really want from all this.
It's best to delay any decision,
instead of trying to undo what you
never should have done in the first
place. Practice moderation.
PISCES:
(February 20-March 20)
If you are finding yourself constant-
ly letdown, it may be time to re-
examine your expectations - unreal-
istic expectations of others will only
cause you grief. Compromise is a
key word for the week. Certain mat-
ters are not worth worrying about,
since you cannot change them.
Birthday This Week:
You may be having the nagging feel-
ing that there's something you
should be doing, but you can't
remember just what it is. This may
just be a sign that you are moving
forward toward a new future which
hasn't become apparent to you yet.

Holiday Concert
Miccah Smith

k
fPV The Madrigal Dinner
?W isn't the only ECU hol-
iday tradition. The annual Holiday
Concert, which features the
Symphonic Wind Ensemble, has
provided a healthy dose of Yuletide
cheer for students, staff and children
alike since the 1970s.
Conductor Scott Carter remembers
playing in the concert years ago. Now
his ensemble will please the Sunday,
Dec. 6 audience with what he calls
Vtypical holiday fare
or junior Angie Bess, a music edu-
cation major who plays both piccolo
and flute, this will be her first
Holiday Concert.
"There's a lot of kids that come, and
they really enjoythe concert, and
we also enjoy putting it on for them
says Bess.
Things have changed this year with
the addition ofECU's 3 choral
groups. Dr. Rhonda Fleming, con-
ductor of the Chamber Choir, is
pleased that choir involvement,
which started the year before last
with the Chamber Singers, has come
this far.
"This year we've expanded the for-
mat to include all the choirs she
says.
"Carter has been very gracious to
want to include choirs in the pro-
gram
The 30-member Chamber Singers
and Concert Choir and the 75-mem-
ber University Chorale will add an
eye catching element to the festivi-
ties.
"We have several outstanding gradu-
ate students who are majoring in
choral conducting says Fleming,
who is giving five of the students
opportunities to conduct the
University Chorale during the con-
cert. Janna Brendell will conduct the
Concert Choir.
Faculty members Sharon Munden
and John Kramar will be the fea-
tured soloists of the evening, lending
their voices to Silent Night and the
Glouchester Wassail song respective-
iy-
Of course this is all well and good to
those fidgeting younger members of
the audience, who will be anxious to
see whether or not a certain jolly old
elf waltzes onstage at the last minute
to distribute candy. According to
Carter and Fleming, odds are that he
will.
Good music, candy and a
Christmasy glow that lasts all day are
in store for anyone who attends this
free concert on Sunday, Dec. 6 at 3
p.m. in Wright Auditorium.

THANKFUL FOR SUPPORT
PHILADELPHIA (AP When Ian
Fleming, an Englishman, celebrated
his first Thanksgiving this year, he
had a lot to be thankful for.
He was thankful that his new wife,
Teresa, was still in good health after
receiving a kidney transplant. He
was thankful that he met her, in an
America Online chat room in early
fall 1997. He was thankful that he
was a suitable match, so he could
donate the kidney keeping his new
wife alive.
And he was thankful for the prayers
and cards from hundreds of people
enraptured by this improbable love
story.
"There must be at least 100 cards
around from people we don't even
know said Fleming. "We are really
thankful for everybody's prayers
Although both are doing fine, Mrs.
Fleming will return Monday to the
hospital in Philadelphia for routine
blood tests to make sure her body
isn't rejecting the kidney.
"Every time she has a cold she has to
go back to the hospital to make sure
there isn't any kind of infection
Fleming said.
In addition to the many cards and
letters they've received, Fleming said
his mother Sylvia still gets stopped
on the street- back home in
Manchester, England by people
askingIs your son OK? Is your
daughter-in-law OK?"
"You step back and thinkWhy?'
Fleming saidIt astounds you,
really?
But the fact that so many were swept
up in the couple's story shouldn't be
all that surprising. It has all the
improbable plot twists of a good
soap opera.
Fleming met his wife in an America
Online chat room in early fall 1997.
They began exchanging e-mail, then
trans-Atlantic phone calls. Fleming
proposed on New Year's Eve and
moved to York from Manchester this
summer.
When Fleming found out his wife
needed a kidney, he volunteered
immediately and turned out to be a
match. The newlyweds each under-
went about four hours of surgery on
Nov. 10, when Fleming's right kidney
was transplanted into his new wife.
As he prepares to celebrate his first
Christmas with his new wife,
Fleming is asking Santa for just one
small favor.
"A nice, quiet Christmas Fleming
said. "No trips to the hospital
