ISSUE 35 Sports page 11 rustees meeting called Enrollment increase discussed P K I I: R 1) A W 1 0 T ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR Recently, Chancellor Richard Eakin called a special Board of Trustees meeting to discuss, possibilities of the university's enrollment increasing to 27.0(H) by the end of the next decade. Eakin is seriously commit- ted to the cause and appears determined to increase the number of students at ECU to 25,000 by 2008. " It is quite conceivable that we could have 25.000 stu- dents in 2008 Eakin said. "With incredible determina- tion, effort and drive, it would be worthwhile to commit to a goal of 27,000 students While an extra 9,000 stu- dents does seem interesting, Eakin did clarify that these goals would not be easy to reach. Increasing the number of students would also require many additions to the univer- sity. Some issues are an increase in funds for scholar- ships, new academic pro- grams, and new facilities for the school, such as that of the Science and Technology Building, which is currently in early stages of development. Board members also sec potential for an increase of students enrolling in the uni- versity but in order to ensure the strategy's success, Gene Rayfield, chairman of the Chancellor Eakin board, file photo said that these increases will come only with hard work and determination. Rayfield said that the trustees want to aggressively pursue increased enrollment, while increasing school standards at the same time. He suggested that the trustees hold meet- " is quite conceivable that we could have 25,000 students in 2008 Richard Eakin Chancellor ings to consider growth strategies especially in Health Sciences and athlet- ics.

PHOTO BV MIKE JACOSSEN Kristv Daniel staff writer A new chapter of the American Civil Liberty Union (ACLU) is being formed for the benefit of ECU students. According to Deborah Ross, executive director of ACLU of North Carolina in Raleigh, ACLU is designed to protect and defend civil and constitutional rights of citizens. ACLU was started in 1968, when UNC-Chapel Hill decided they wanted a communist speaker to give a speech. At the time, North Carolina had a law against communists speak- ing at universities. Therefore, they held the speech on Franklin Street thus forming the ACLU, which decided the law was against civil rights and sued. They won the case and have been fighting for civil rights since. "We care about peoples rights and the constitution. We engage in such things as lawsuits, we lobby at the legislature and do public education work Ross said. The ECU chapter will serve students who feel as if they have been unjustly treated by the university. Clementine Tran, an ECU junior majoring in psychology, decided that ECU needed this chapter to help inform the students of their rights. " I wanted to help make the students aware of their civil rights as students and citizens and make sure their rights and privileges haven't been violated in any way Tran said. " I felt the students needed to get involved politically. They need to know the government affects us as students" Tran said. Archie Smith, professor at ECU, works with the Greenville chapter of the ACLU. He is helping Tran introduce the ECU chapter to the students. "I think the students deserve a place of forum, somewhere to express their opinions regarding civil lib- erties Smith said. Elizabeth Hayek, sophomore at ECU major- ing in marketing, said, "I think the persons involved in bringing the ACLU chapter to campus should be commended for their interests in our students rights and privileges As of right now, the ECU chapter is in the process of getting approved by the state chapter in Raleigh. They intend to hold their first meeting Feb. 18.

Ten agents worked undercover to survey business at five estab- lishments that sell beer and wine in the Greenville area, said John Simmons, ALE district supervisor. Charges included the sale of alcohol to persons underage, unlawful possession of alcohol, possession of fake identification, driving while intoxicated, posses- sion of marijuana, public urination and fighting. Carla, a freshman at ECU who received a drinking ticket last weekend, said that as much of a hassle it is for students to pay the fines, they have to face the conse- quences of their actions.

Jim Hunt says. "Never before in our history have we set such an ambitious goal Hunt said in his State of the State address to a joint session of the Legislature Monday night. "And never before have we need- ed a statewide effort of this scope. Our future is at stake Both Republican and Democratic legislative leaders praised Hunt's emphasis on edu- cation, and Republicans said he was right in calling for no tax increases this year. "The governor has given us a strong charge to move North Carolina forward said Senate President Pro Tern Marc Basnight, D-Dare. Hunt said he would issue an executive order asking the Education Cabinet, which he chairs, to develop a set of goals to make the state's schools the best in the nation by the end of the next decade. He said he wanted the goals set by Sept. 1. "I may not be running for any- thing, but I haven't run out of ambition for North Carolina said Hunt, who is in his last two years as governor. "I'm not interested in building a legacy. I'm interested in building our future Hunt said he wants four things from the Legislature this yean increased funding for Smart Start, the third installment of a four-year plan to raise teacher salaries to the national average, improved school safety and an end to social promo- tions. Hunt provided no specifics for paying for his proposals but said there would be enough money this year. He will present his budget next week. FORD WORKER DIES IN EXPLOSION AND FIRE AT PLANT DEARBORN, Michigan (AP) Ford Motor Co. scrambled to bring in generators and get its River Rouge complex back in operation after a deadly explosion halted work there and slowed pro- duction at other Ford plants around the United States. River Rouge contains a Mustang assembly plant as well as parts factories that make such things as engines, doors, hoods and glass. If production doesn't resume quickly, work will be slowed at 16 of the No. 2 automaker's 20 North America assembly plants. The explosion at a power sta- tion Monday killed one person. Fifteen other workers remained in critical condition Tuesday. The cause of the blast was under inves- tigation, but authorities suspected a boiler explosion. Many of the 10,000 workers at River Rouge awaited word on when they could return to work. Ford assembly plants in several other cities were also asked to scale back production. River Rouge manager Art Janes wouldn't speculate on when pro- duction at the complex might resume. "I just can't tell you until we push the button and see if it works he said Tuesday. Chancellor continued from page 1 possible additions which could bring an increase number of stu- dents to ECU. Proposals such as an expansion of the Communications Department, other additions in programs such as Coastal Sciences , as well as a bachelor of science program in Allied Health Sciences. Donald Neal, vice chairman of the faculty told trustees how they decide which programs will help further students needs as well as the needs of the school. Neal said that the school and faculty hope to grow stronger through programs on this foundation in order to attract better faculty and students. "It all comes down to image and the ablate to market this image to the world Neal said. "If we build a strong, positive image of ECU, the students will come Alcohol continued from page 1 Simmons said the effort is pan of an ongoing, statewide program aimed at decreasing the sale of alcohol to minors. ALE agents will go undercover again in February and March to perform operations similar to those of this past week- end. Most of the charges are misde- meanors that carry a fine but some carry the penalty of suspended dri- vers licenses. ALE is also targeting stores that sell to minors which can result in the lose of their license to sell alcohol. "This is a huge problem Simmons said. "We're interested in nipping it in the bud so it does- n't escalate any further. The pro- gram has been very successful so far Some businesses involved allow undercover agents inside posing as employees or customers. Other have officers in the parking lot monitoring the business. "They (ALE) just like to keep checking on us said the manager of Jolly Roger's Revenge conve- nience store. "Sometimes it's a lit- tle too much Conference continued from page 1 niques. 'Teachers have to earn continu- ing education units each year and this conference is a good way for teachers to update their skills said Betty Wheatley, conference direc- tor. "The conference really does cover a wide spectrum of topics dealing with reading and language arts said Professor Kathcrine Misulis, reading coordinator and graduate program director at ECU. "We're really excited about the whole event The conference will be held Feb. 4-5 at the Ramada Plaza and Hilton Inn in Greenville.

Lewinsky offered no sig- nificant new insights into Clinton's attempts to conceal their affair, and the president's lawyers, who were present at the deposition, chose not to ask any questions, according to a person who was briefed about the inter- view. The president's team had planned not to ask questions if the lawyers felt the prosecutors had broken no new ground, said sever- al Democratic sources familiar with the preparations. One of Clinton's private attorneys, Nicole Scligman, ended the session by reading a brief expression of regret on behalf of the president, said the source, who spoke only on condition of anonymity. Citing strict secrecy rules, neither the lawyers nor four senators who presided over the deposition revealed any details about the testimony of the former White House intern, whose sexual trysts with Clinton sparked the yearlong scandal that threatens his presidency. But Democratic and Republican senators have said they did not anticipate explosive revela- tions from a witness who has told her story to investigators and pros- ecutors 22 times before. And with- out anew hook, prosecutors have acknowledged, they will have a difficult if not impossible time per- suading the Senate to convict Clinton and eject him from office. Republican and Democratic senators emerged from the presidential suite of the Mayflower Hotel on Monday after- noon to announce only that Lewinsky's latest interview about s J Arti 6 t�Ml�I Migrant of Tin M Ctratinim t ficer ung ind i jalify e ill e at f for FEBRUARY 4-9,1999 MCGINNIS THEATRE- EAST CAROLINA UNIVERSITY EAST CAROLINA Tut Ann TICKETS GENERAL PUBLIC S9 ond $8 CHILDREN $6 oral $5 ECU FACULTYSTAFF $8 ond $7 ECU STUDENTS $6ond $5 10 CHARGf TICKHS, CALI 252 328 6829 OsMce 0 i'&9 ?& her affair with Clinton fell far short of the eight hours allotted by the Senate. Sen. Mike DeWine (R- Ohio) told a throng of reporters and photographers waiting outside the historic hotel that the deposition lasted from 9:03 a.m. to 3:14 p.m including a one-hour lunch break and several shorter ones. Senators will be able to view a videotape of the deposition at four separate locations on Capitol Hill beginning at 8 a.m. today, DeWine said. He and a rotating crop of three Democratic senators were appointed to preside over the deposition. House prosecutors said before Monday's deposition that they hoped Lewinsky could clear up some inconsistencies and shed new light on Clinton's effort to conceal their relationship. They are expected to use her words later this week in an attempt to per- suade senators to call her to testify on the Senate floor. At the very least, the House Republicans have said, they hope to air portions of the videotape in the trial. Clinton's lawyers are dis- inclined to erant a public forum to against Clinton. Instead, Bryant said, he would focus on the obstruction of justice charge. House prosecutors have said he would ask Lewinsky about conversations she had with Clinton before she filed an affidavit denying their affair and about the president's attempt to help her find a job. Lewinsky told the grand jury that no one told her to lie or promised her a job in exchange for her silence in Paula Jones' sexual- harassment suit against Clinton. But House prosecutors have argued that the president did- n't have to be direct to signal Lewinsky that he wanted her to hide their relationship. They also have tried to build a circumstantial case that Clinton asked his friend Vernon Jordan to find Lewinsky a job as encouragement to keep her quiet House prosecutors will question Jordan, a high-powered Washington attorney, during a deposition today on Capitol Hill. The next day, they will depose Sidney Blumenthal, a senior White House adviser. Write a Letter to the Editor and let your view he heard!

Pirate baseball has begun a new student support group called the Diamond Girls. The title alone insinuates a crew of women wearing tight outfits running around on the baseball field. It seems as if someone has watched one episode of WCW Monday Night Nino too many. The Athletics Marketing Department claims that they are looking for any stu- dents�male or female � who would be willing to work hard and dedicate themselves to the team. Dedicate themselves to what? From the ad alone, which was printed in TEC on Jan. 21, no one gets a clear understanding of what the baseball team is looking for. What we can interpret is that Pirate baseball is looking for a way to entice high school boys to join the team through sexual means. Why can't the team just use its reputation and possibly the potential player's love of baseball as a recruiting device? How can the marketing department be so naive in believing that any man would want to join an organization called the 'Diamond Girls'? Sure, the ad claims that this organization is open to all students "without regard to race, religion, sex, creed or handicap but that door of opportunity was immediately shut after Athletics Marketing decided on that name. Not many guys�or girls for that matter� would like to associate themselves with an organization whose name is best suited on the box of a porn flick. In our opinion, the Pirate Cheerleaders are athletes whose purpose consists of motivating the crowds through cheers and choreographed aerial moves. What do the Diamond Girls have to offer? According to the ad, their "duties" include attending home games, taking part in pro- motional events and assisting the coaches and team during recruiting visits. What does that mean? A big breasted girl shoving herself in the face of a defenseless high school boy, con- vincing him that Pirate baseball is his calling? If this is not the intention, the marketing department needs to go back to the drawing board and come up with a clearer- and less sexist- idea for its organization. LETTER to the Editoi Parking and Traffic enrages commuter As a commuter, I cannot compre- hend how I can pay for a parking decal, but many days I have nowhere to park. Every year I pay the outrageous amount for a park- ing decal, and the parking gets worse and worse. I believe that ECU Parking and Traffic Services sells more decals than they have spaces. Gust drive by the commuter lot in the morning.) Instead of adding spaces, they seem to be taking them away. This brings me to the question: "Where does all the money go that they get from decals and rickets?" It looks to me that it goes toward the salaries of the parking officers because no matter where I go on campus, there is an officer writing another ticket. Parking and Traffic Services should stop spending all their time writing tickets and add spaces, or how about improving our parking lots? Have you ever been to the lot behind Belk Residence Hall? There has been a pothole there for years which gets bigger and bigger. When it rains, you can plant fish in there and you'll have an ECU fish- ing hotel Besides the parking problems. they have some of the rudest employees. I have heard students say that they have been cursed at by officers. If they can't add spaces or improve the condition of our lots, they should take the money and survey the student body. If they do, I guarantee they'll realize how many students are enraged with the parking situation on campus. Brent W. Anderson Senior Communications "Evil news fly faster than good �Thomas Kyd English dramatist 1592 OPINION Ryan Kennemur Computer ate his column Afoap have an even bigger problem. They're called nightmares. Well, here I am, retyping my col- umn. The computers here at The East Carolinian (which can be rearranged to spell "Anal Theoreticians") are nothing less than crappy. I swear they were designed by Hider. This fascist machine deleted my words just as soon as I wrote my final punctua- tion mark. Had you been given the chance to read the article, you would have no doubt been enlight- ened by my usual edge-of-your- seat hard hitting topics (this week was to be about onions and people with bad breath) and my serious and straightforward style. But, see- ing as how the story was deleted, you'll just have to take my word for it It was incredible, astonishing, and loads of other really big words. Probably the single most important document that I or anyone else has ever written, or ever will. So, you'll just have to make due with this one. I have had a lot. of trouble sleeping lately, and I don't exactly know why. At first, it was due to the train whistling its whis- de at two in the morning. I have never quite understood why they have to do this. If you're not smart enough to stay off the tracks, you really shouldn't have the privilege of legs to begin with. Also, there are these people next door that can't hear their music unless it is loud enough to pierce through their Abcrcrombie toboggans and the impenetrable haze of marijuana smoke. No, now I have an even bigger problem. They're called night- mares, and you're not supposed to have them at my age, or even your age. It's so strange. When I was younger, I was afraid of the usual things. The "bogeyman the "boogcrman and the "man that is neither bogey nor booger, but defi- nitely a case study in terror I was afraid of Chucky, the "My Little Buddy doll with a knife and a scorching case of herpes Yes, he really bothered me. I always had this dream that an alien from the Reese's Pieces com- mercial would drag me through the house and throw me in the trash can, and the next morning I would wake up in the dumpstcr and won- der if it was really a dream. But now, I am dreaming of grown-up things. Two nights ago, I dreamt that I was a total failure with no recognizable future, and my occupation had something to do with "hot apple pies Then, I was having a great dream about � being in a pool with a naked Marian Carey, but I woke up in the middle of it. Have you ever had a dream that you wanted to continue after you woke up, but it rums into like the exact opposite of the last dream? Well, when I fell back asleep, I was shooting pool with a naked Drew Carey. Not quite the same. So if you have a weird dream that you'd like to share, write to me at rtk0623@mau.ecu.edu. I'd love to hear about it. At any rate, have a great day and don't trust any small woodland creatures. OPINION Christopher Coppedge, � He is very smooth and careful to ask only for jumper cables, but by the time you hear his whole story, you end up donating some money to his cause. Want to hear about a great scam? If you park in the West Campus grav- el lots you might already know this one. There is a very good scam artist on the loose and you may be his next victim. I know because it happened to me. It starts out simple and inno- cent, "Hey buddy, you got any jumper cables in your car?" Most people I know do not usually carry jumper cables in their cars so the common response is no. This African American male maybe around his late twenties looks pret- ty harmless. He asks if you have a minute, at which point you should leave, and if you stay he proceeds to tell you his story. First he tells Con artist lurks in gravel lots you that he works for the universi- ty and that he has identification to prove it, but most people do not ask to see it. Then the story and acting get better; he says his battery is dead and all he needs is a jump. His wife and kid are sitting in the car waiting for him. I cannot remember exactly why but the police are unable to help him. He has just moved here from New Jersey and docs not know anyone in Greenville. To get his car towed he needs $80 but he only has $70. He never really asks you for any money, but he repeatedly states he is only ten dollars short. He also started to mention his watch and jewelry and how much it cost like he was going to sell it to me. He is very smooth and careful to ask only for jumper cables, but by the time you hear his whole story you end up donating some money to his cause. This happened to me last semester and I gave him a cou- ple dollars, thinking I was doing a good thing. I realized that he could have been lying but I was probably in a good mood that day. A couple of days ago, I as I was walking back from the parking lot, the same guy approached me in the same way, "Hey buddy This time I said no and did not stick around, but I think he did get the next person to stop. t I cannot believe I fell into this guy's trap. I have heard that he has approached many people out in the parking lot and uses the same lines on them. He is a good actor, very convincing and pulls sympathy to his cause. However you should not stick around to hear what he has to say. Next time I see him I will probably call the police, and I encourage everyone else to do the same. I hate to say that you shouldn't trust anybody, but I think it might be at that point. I am always skep- tical of people, but I usually trust the good in people. Sometimes you get burned because of this. This guy makes me mad because now I don't want to stop and help any- body out, and some people really do need help. The worid is getting so sick and twisted that you cannot help out your fellow man or woman; without the thought of getting hus ded or hurt. It is really sad that is has come to this, but I don't think I am going to let just one person; change me. I do encourage people to listen to some people but not to get into a situation where may be in trouble or you are giving out money. There are still some good people out in the world and hope- fully the bad ones won't make you forget that, like the jumper cable Mm I Jll TUnivL Frtr-rv 4. 1999 Tin Eut Carolinian Four Seats Left Jason Latour Ants Marching Victoria Kidd VU.UOT NlfrWT X HM TO weft wmtw u:s� Slow- MY fccK�ftttDnift MOtWrt I HAt T�$�wfM�e6 fetcUr WAV AM AttWAB oP SSTiHAvckVmaoa M�W, Nb�, 'BuOM You AM StftttfUNt.

Need a chance to unwind after classes with a friendly group? The ECU Pirate Bridge Club, which is about to start classes for beginners, wel- comes members of all experience. "We encourage faculty, staff and students to come and play said Nancy Zeller, assistant professor at the School of Education who founded and sponsors the bridge club. We especially want to get more students interested in this game The Pirate Bridge Club has been in place since October 1997 and now contains almost 30 mem- bers. Zeller, a Life Master of the American Contract Bridge League (ACBL), instructs advanced begin- ners in duplicate-style bridge games, a style which involves large groups of players, and coordinates practiceplay sessions. "At first I thought bridge) was a 'grandma game but it's really fun said senior Kathryn Sprinkle, presi- dent of the bridge club. "It takes a lot of thought. I would encourage people to come and play For people who are beginners, or who have never played before, a bridge course it taught by Ann Webb, a Silver Life Master of the ACBL. New players are taken through a bridge book, which is provided free of charge by ACBL. Those who complete the instruc- tion receive a free t-shirt. "Right now we have two groups playing. One is the beginning group, and the other is people who are still getting use to the game said Alycia Gibson, treasurer. "We just play for fun and get used to scoring and everything One purpose of the bridge club "We encourage faculty, staff and students to come and play. We especially want to get more students interested in this game Nancy Zeller assistant professor is to revive interest in the card game. They hope to make students aware of the fun and rules of this strategic card game. "It's the 'chess' of card games Zcller said. "Students who have played whist, hearts or spades already have the foundations for bridge The first inter-group tourna- ment took place on Dec. 7, with first place going to Shannon Lee, a staff member at CIS. During Christmas, members of the bridge club went to the Greenville Duplicate Bridge Club and com- peted. There is hope that the bridge club will be able to go to tourna- ments in Wilson and here in Greenville in the coming months. It is also planned to have games over the Internet. Meetings for the bridge club take place at Mendenhall Student Center on Mondays from 7 p.m9 p.m. The beginners class' will be held Feb. 8 in the Social Room. "Bridge is the greatest card game in the world; I hope people will come and join us Zeller said. Health Annual SHS getting word out on safer sex Education sponsors Second Sexual Responsibility Week Phillip Gilfus staff writer With Valentine's Day right around the comer. Health Education at Health Services will be sponsoring the Second Annual ECU Sexual Responsibility Week. This week is held in conjunction with National Condom Week, but Health Education started Sexual Responsibility Week in order to make a broader focus on the issue of safer sex. "We want to show students all their options, not just focus on con- doms said Beth Credle, health education graduate assistant. "It is also good for students to practice abstinence Starting Monday, Feb. 8, stu- dents will be able to send up to two "Valentine grams" to one another on campus. A booth will be set up in front of Health Services for this purpose. "People can send a message along with a Hershey Kiss or Hug, and a male or female condom said Heather Zophy, director of Health Education at Health Services. "This will all be for free These "Valentine grams" will be delivered to on campus students at their dorms on Friday. Students will also have the opportunity to "create-a-date Students who stop by the table in front of Health Services can cre- atively come up with a date that would be both sexy and safe. On Tuesday at 7:30 p.m a dis- cussion group entitled "Ask the Sexperts" will take place in Mendenhall Student Center, Room 244. Dorothy Buder, assis- tant professor at the ECU school of Medicine, department of Obstetrics and Gynecology; David Knox, sociology professor and Ella Fields-Bunch, a representative from the Pitt County Public Health Center will be the prominent experts leading the question and answer period. Anonymous questions may also be submitted and turned in to either the Health Education booth on Monday or Tuesday or immedi- ately before the discussion begins. Condom games and giveaways will take place on Thursday, at the Health Education booth. One con- test is "Condom Match" in which students must identify which labels go to which condoms. Winners will receive a free t-shirt. "We hope this will encourage students to read condom labels bet- Student Health offers ideas for safe sex. PHOTO BY HEALTH SERVICES ter Credle said.

Joyner introduces Special Collections Source unknown to many students Daniel Ketchum contriiuting writer For the scholar and historian, one of the hidden treasures of ECU is the Special Collections section of Joyner Library. Here, for those willing to do a bit of digging, exists a wide array of materials encom- passing a variety of interests and needs. The Special Collections are divided into four main areas. The first of these is the Manuscript Collection, which contains letters, diaries, photographs and numer- ous other items with great research potential. The Manuscript Collection concentrates on four things, the fust being materials from or related to North Carolina (the North Carolina Collection on the third floor of Joyner is a pan of Special Collections). The second part of the Manuscript Collection is com- posed of military papers. According to Donald R. Lennon of Special Collections, the large number of naval papers in this col- lection are, "the largest repository outside the military There is also a considerable amount of material in this section related to the U.S. Civil War. A third area of interest covered by this collection are materials accumulated by the tobacco industry and its employees. These include documents from many different parts of the world, such as China and Rhodesia, where this industry has had a presence. The fourth cate- gory in the Manuscript Collection is mis- sionary records. Like the previously mentioned tobacco records, these mate- rials come from all over the world, and objects reflecting the day-to-day operations of this university, aft well as the activities of some of its previous students and faculty. Fofr those wishing to do research in either the Manuscript Collection or the University Archives, it wflj be necessary to use the card cata- log in the manuscript room, since (with a few exceptions) this mater rial is not yet in the computer cat 1 r� " is an accumulation of pub- lished material dealing with Communism by both the left and right Donald R. Lennon Special Collections alog. The third section of Special Collections is the Rare Book Collection which, while small at present, is again growing thanks to contributions from the Friends of the Library. Books are found about maritime architecture (and maritime studies in general) as well as some travel accounts of the 18th and 19th centuries. In addi- tion, there are a number of works relating to slavery, many pub- lished before 1865. The fourth section is the Hoover Collection, which is a vast assortment of items relating to international Communism and radicals. "It is an accumulation of pub- lished material dealing wit Communism by both the left and includerecords returnedfrom Africa,South Americaand the Orient.

RLE PHOTO be carefully organized, itemized and protect- ed against deterioration. It can arrive at the offices in boxes, cases, bags or in one case, even a barrel. The archivist must sort through the documents, organizing them as best he or she can (since they are rarely in any sort of order). The scheme used is usually either top- ical or (more frequently) chronc- logical. In those instances where the paper is acidic and destroying the document, it is sent to the lab downstairs to neutralize the acid and prevent further decay. The next section of Special Collections is the University Archives. Records and memorabil- ia of ECU from its eariy years to the present day are stored here. There are business office records, yearbooks, photographs and other right Lennon said. It would be a mistake assume that you will only fini information relating to the afore mentioned topics in Specia Collection. Many boxes contain ing materials unrelated to dies broad categories exist and available to students. For instance the university has a sizable collec tion of documents relating t George Washington Carver. The Special Collections Joyner Library are generally ai underused but very valuabh resource that will provide pleasan surprises for those who choose make use of them.

His striped sweater was clean and neat. Detectives figured the pair who allegedly pulled off two armed rob- beries weren't run-of-the-mill criminals. But even they were surprised to learn the suspects were students at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and their alleged getaway driver an elementary school teach- ing aide. Emma Rose Freeman, 18, a National Merit Scholar, is accused of pointing a .380-caliber Bcretta semiautomatic handgun at a terri- fied stylist while robbing a hair salon on Jan. 16 with her boyfriend Anthony Louis Christophani, a senior philosophy major. Five days later when a security guard at a Costco warehouse store asked to see receipts for a boom box and Walkman-like stereo sys- tem, she allegedly turned to him with the gun and said: "Back off. Don't do anything stupid On Wednesday, it was Freeman who shook with fear as a judge warned that she faces a long prison sentence if convicted of the two armed robberies. Christophani and Craig Dickson, 23-year-old roommates, posted bail earlier on the same charges. But Judge Heather Morse raised Freeman's bail from $25,000 to $150,000 as prosecutors filed additional charges of brandishing the weapon.

ED1NBURG, Texas (AP) - A South Texas man said the devil told him to kill a teenager and he later drank the boy's blood, accord- ing to a videotaped confession played for jurors Tuesday. Pablo Lucio Vasquez is accused of killing and mutilating David Cardenas. The 12-year-old was par- tying with Vasquez and others on the night of April 17-18 when he was killed. His body was found five days later, scalped and dismembered under some aluminum slabs in a vacant field in Donna. Vasquez, 21, said he heard voic- es throughout the killing. "One side of my head said, 'You did wrong Vasquez said on the tape, which was recorded on April 23, the day after he was arrested. "The other side said, 'Keep doing it Keep doing it In the tape, Vasquez said he and Andy Chapa, also accused of Cardenas' murder, were both drunk that night. Vasquez told investigators he had also had cocaine and marijuana then. After hitting Cardenas with a metal pipe, Vasquez recalled, he slit them boy's throat with a knife. Vasquez said he then hoisted the boy on his shoulder and drank the blood that was flowing freely from Cardenas' wound. Afterward, Vasquez said, he and Chapa carried the victim to the vacant lot and tried to bury him. "My face was covered with his blood Vasquez said. "He was say- ing something.

Robbery is the official motive in the killing since the boy's jewelry was taken. The timing of the killing and the way the boy was killed led Donna police to speculate on a link to the occult, however. Seven others are accused in the crime. Chapa, 15, is charged with capital murder and will stand trial as an adult Six others, including two teenage girls, are accused of helping to cover up the killing. LAS VEGAS (AP) -Is Las Vegas on the eve of destruction? A Southern Nevada man seems to think so. A man who identifies himself only as David says the city will be destroyed at midnight in the year 2000. He has created a web site espousing his views. - . The creator of the Las Vegas- based Internet site, www.antichrist.com, boasts more than 250,000 hits since going online June 6, 1996. He's predicting an earthquake will destroy the city and says he'll go down with the disaster. "I promised I would give my life for the cause David told the Las Vegas Review-Journal, refusing to give his last name because of alleged death threats. "I'll be gone, but at least I'll leave knowing that this place will finally be fixed He says the pyramid-shaped Luxor resort will be destroyed to prove "the existence of GodSatan Hotel officials aren't taking much stock in the prediction. Sarah Ralston, a spokeswoman for the Luxor's parent Circus Circus Enterprises, Inc. said she was surprised at the space devoted to the Luxor on the Internet site. But she doesn't think it represents any kind of threat to the company's business interests. "We do our best to monitor the Internet to find information that might potentially be damaging to a property she said.

Small Kansas town gets chuckle AGRA, Kan. (AP) - Vandalism usu- ally provokes little humor among those who have to view it. But for many people here, a recent episode has been, well, uplifting. About two weeks ago, someone scaled the water tower in this town of about 300 and painted a "v" and an "i" in front of the town's name, resulting in "viAgra" � as in the impotency drug. "Mostly people are laughing about it and joking about it said Becky Stegmaier, a waitress at a nearby diner. "I don't think anybody is mad, except maybe the mayor. They just painted the water tower this summer Mayor Merle Barnes said he isn't angry and that the newly acquired lettering will likely stay for a while. "As far as I'm concerned, it'll be there until it gets painted again. I'm not going to go up there and paint it Barnes said. Repainting the tower would cost about $1,200. The paint job has earned the town some national recognition, as Paul Harvey reported the recent events on his radio program this week. "We're actually having a good time with it here said Lannie Nelson, who lives near the tower.

Republican U.S. Rep. Matt Salmon said Saturday he's readying a bill that would alter Mount Rushmore National Monument to include Reagan's face. Mount Rushmore in South Dakota bears the faces of four for- mer presidents: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt Salmon announced his bill before a gathering of some 400 del- egates at the state Republican con- vention here. Salmon, who voted to impeach President Clinton last month, revealed his plans while urging del- egates to stay loyal to the GOP's conservative principles Reagan GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (AP) -Two robbers were unsuccessful in their getaway during a recent rob- bery attempt. This getaway, using a baby stroller to carry the loot with a baby inside, didn't get very far. Mesa County sheriffs deputies arrested Joseph W. Murray, 19, and Jamie A. Foust, 18, shortly after they allegedly broke into a home and stole a shotgun, a .243-caliber rifle, a bulletproof vest and jewelry Wednesday.

This 67-62 win for the Pirates marked the end of a 10 game CAA road game losing streak. While on the subject of streaks. Ladies i 4 -5 for the second straight game the leading scorer for the Pirates was junior forward Evaldas Joeys with 16 points. Joeys also made shots in the clutch by hitting two free throws with five seconds left in the game. "It's good to have him (Joeys) said Alphons van Ireland. "He adds . �� jre depth and he can use his good quickness to score As for the game, the Pirates led 30-20 at the half but started out slow to begin the second half of play. The Monarchs charged out of the locker room and jumped out in front of ECU 43-39. This game would stay close as the two teams would trade baskets for the remain- der. After a Joeys three-pointer, the Pirates took the lead 46-43 with 102 left in the game and would never look back. Brandon Hawkins and David Taylor would hit key baskets to mount an ECU 12-0 run before the monarchs could fight "I think we have started to eliminate some mistakes we have been mating Jos Doolsy iMcatck back. Down the stretch the Pirates would make six of eight shots from the free throw line to seal the win. "I think we have started to elim- inate some mistakes we have been making said Joe Dooley, head coach. "We're seeing more and more of this in practice and in games. It's obvious that when you do this, you are going to give your- self a win Winning also has to be practiced mentally and that's what might have made the difference, accord- ing to Garrett Blackwelder. "In our prac- tices we have focused more on ourselves rather than the other team Blackwelder said. The Pirate defense also deserved praises on Monday as ODU was held to 38 percent from the floor and 38 per- cent from three-point'land. ECU was also able to hold the big man, Cal Bowdler to just two field goals and 10 points on the night. "We contested all their shots van Ireland said. "We went out there on defense and really played hard. They're a really good team and you get more excited when you play a team like that. "We have played Georgia, Evansville and UW-Green Bay, all of which have quality teams. But ODU has the best balance of any team we have played. They have a good inside-outside game, and all the intangibles. There is no doubt in my mind that they are one of the top 64 teams in the country Next, the Pirates will have a week off before playing against Virginia Commonwealth on Feb.10.

PHOTO BY SARAH CHRISTIE "Diamond Girls" to World Summer Games come to North Carolina receive new name Controversial name to be changed Frank Hendricks staff writer In an attempt to better the Pirate baseball program, ECU's Athletic Marketing has devised a plan, The Diamond Girls. That was the name of the new volunteer program until Chancellor Eakin, who was not available for a comment, told the department to change the name. The Diamond Girls were designed by sports marketing to be a support group for Pirate baseball. They are only part of a plan to improve Pirate baseball, which also includes bringing in lights for a more professional atmosphere. The volunteer program is for any student who is qualified, regardless of sex, race, religion, creed or hand- icap. The Diamond Girls will pri- marily serve as marketing assistants and official hostesses of Pirate base- ball. Their duties will include: attending designated home games, handling promotional events, and assisting the team and coaches dur- ing recruiting visits. Chris Loney, assistant market- ing director, would not comment on why the name was being changed. Loney took the idea from other successful programs such as Auburn's Diamond Dolls and Wichita State's Shocker Girls. "The program is something to improve the edge in recruiting Loney said. "The students will carry the recruits around campus and sit with the recruit and his fam- ily at the games The volunteers "Theprogram is something to improve the edge in recruiting Chrit Loney Assistant marketing director will be educated about the campus and will answer any questions that the recruit and his family may have.

Recreational Services sponsor inaugural Foosball Tournament The Department of Recreational Services will be spon- soring a Foosbwl Tournament which is ooen to all currently enrolled students as well as faculty and staff. This activity, also known as table soccer, is being offered by the Intramural Sports program for the fust time this spring. Competition will be available for men and women in separate singles divi- sions provided that the number of entries is sufficient. Interested par- ticipants should complete the appropriate entry form and include full name, social security number phone number, and address prior to the entry deadline on Tuesday, March 2 in 128 SRC. The tourna- ment will take place on Wednesday, March 3 at 8:00 p.m. in the Mendenhall Student Center games room on the lower level.

The format of the activity will be determined by the numbers of entries. A match will consist of the best 2 out of 3 games. Each game winner will be determined by the best 5 out of 9 balls. Play will be governed by the United States Table Soccer Association (USTSA) Rules. A copy of these rules are available in the Intramural Sports office at SRC for any players inter- ested in reviewing the rules in detail. While foosball has not been played as an Intramural Sports activity in the past, the game has been played on an informal basis in the MSC games room in the past. Foosball or table soccer is an action-packed recreational activity that is fast-paced but involves lim- ited physical exertion. It can be olaved bv virtuallv anvone and is extremely popular on many cam- puses. The game consists of a table which is a miniaturized soccer field and "players" who are attached to rods which extend outside the table. The participant manually turns the rods to control the players in an attempt to score a goal as in traditional soccer. The opponent also controls hisher players and positions them defensively when not in possession of the ball. Quick thinking and good eye-hand coor- dination are useful skills to possess but the activity is one that can be enjoyed by all. For further informa- tion, please contact Joanna Ezzell or David Gaskins at Recreational Services at 328-6387.

Fibruiry 4.1989 sports Tat East Caraltaiaa Price Was high in Atlanta's bid for Olympics Wbmens Basketball Baseball Cj J m. comifluid from pigi 11 continuwl ffom pia ATLANTyyCAP) In the two yean before Atlanta won the 1996 Olympics; tax records show its bid team spent $7.8 million to lobby International Olympic Committee tmembers, The Atlanta Journal- Constitution reported Tuesday. In the final nine months of its campaign, the Atlanta group spent dlrs 3.1 million on everything from IOC member visits to Atlanta and bid team travels around the globe to public relations and a five-vol- ume bid book for each IOC mem- ber. No one has suggested that the millions spent by Atlanta's bid team were improper, but the tax records illustrate the high cost of the Olympic bidding war between cities, the newspaper said. The IOC recently moved to expel six of its members for taking improper gifts and payments from Salt Lake City bidders. Since the scandal, four other IOC members have resigned and the IOC has expanded its investi- Igation to include the candidate cities for the 19 through 2006 Games. Dick Pound, chairman of the IOC's investigation, has said he sent letters to two dozen bid com- mittees of winter and summer games requesting details of any suspected misconduct by IOC members. Dick Yarbrough, spokesman for the Atlanta bidders, said they had not received the letter, but mem- bers of Atlanta's committee planned to meet Tuesday to draft a response. "We went about it the right way and our letter's going to basically reflect that he said Tuesday. "We hope to have it finished as quickly as possible Atlanta bid officials have stead- fastly maintained that they con- ducted their campaign within the rules and that no IOC members abused their position. But Atlanta's competitors are speaking out about excesses. Manchester officials complained about visiting IOC members trying to collect twice or three times for expenses for a single visit to the candidate city in England. And Toronto officials said 26 of 69 IOC members who visited that city broke IOC rules by bringing more than one guest, coming more than once or staying longer than allowed. They said the most bla- tant abuse by IOC members was the misappropriation of travel expenses and airline tickets or pass- es that Toronto officials provided. Atlanta's bid campaign was run almost entirely on private dona- tions from philanthropies and cor- porations, and on merchandising. More than dlrs 12 million was taken in during the four-year fund- raising campaign, according to the returns the newspaper obtained from the nonprofit Georgia Amateur Athletics Foundation. The GAAF was created in 1987 to manage the bid effort and was headed by Billy Payne and then- Mayor Andrew Young. The GAAF was the predecessor to the Atlanta Committee for the Olympic Games, which was incorporated in 1991 after Atlanta won the Games. The bid group, known as the Atlanta Organizing Committee, spent din 376,545 on the four-day trip to Tokyo for the International Olympic Committee's vote award- ing the 19 games, the Journal- Constitution said after reviewing the tax records. The AOC picked up part of the tab for more than 300 Georgians who accompanied the bid team to Tokyo. The Atlanta bid team - core group of nine led by attorneys Payne, Batde and Horace Sibley along with Young and volunteers Ginger Watkins and Linda Stephenson traveled to IOC members' homelands and played host to them and their families in Atlanta. In the last nine months before the vote, the bid team members' visits to 85 of the 87 voting mem- ben on the IOC cost din 401,694. The bid team spent din 646,879 on 68 IOC members' visits to Atlanta an average of din 9313 per visitor �during the nine- month period. against the Old Dominions of the world The Pirates responded to the UNC-W run. ECU put together eight unanswered points and put the game out of reach for the Seahawks. Down the stretch, the Pirates relied on the experienced leader- ship of juniors Waynetta Veney and Danielle Mervin to ice the victory. "We felt we had an advantage in our guards size-wise, and we felt we had an advantage inside Gibson said. The advantage inside was Melvin. She had a career game, scoring 20 points and grabbing nine rebounds. The win was the most lopsided since a loss the Pirates suffered at the hands of American in late January. The loss gave the Pirates a new attitude, an attitude that man- ifested itself in their two most recent wins. "We left our losing attitude in D.C Veney said.

"I think that there is already enough sexism in ECU sports today without raising the question of sexual enticement to recruit players said Lillian Robinson, director of Women's Studies. "I can see why the name is being changed Some of the Pirate baseball players are having mixed feelings about the subject. "For bat girl purposes I think it is a good idea, but I don't believe that it should be used for recruiting purposes said Travis Thompson, a senior pitcher for the Pirates. Many of the schools that use simi- lar programs have different aspects. Auburn's Diamond Dolls are not even allowed to step onto the field while other schools use the volunteers as bat girls. Head coach Keith LeClair thinks that the program is a good idea. "This program has been tai- lored after something that other schools have had success with, and these schools do so with female volunteers LeClair said. To become involved in the pro- gram, you must apply before Friday, Feb. 5 at 5 p.m. All appli- cants will receive an interview, with the process beginning on Feb. 8. The sports marketing department wants up to 30 dedi- cated volunteers. There will be a new name for the program before it begins. "We are changing the name, but one has yet to be decided upon said Angic Wellman, direc- tor of Athletic Marketing. Applications can be picked up at Pirate basketball games or at the sports marketing office. CONDOM GAMES Come test your condom knowledge for prizes!

"ECU is working together with us providing the athletes with housing, food and a place to prac- tice Foy said. "It has been really good having ECU as an ally Some ECU students are already planning to volunteer their rime for World Games and support the mes- sage of this event "I would volunteer because it's a great cause ECU senior Alicia Raynor said. "These individuals have a right to do as much as every- one else does Athletes are competing at worid class levels in events such as weight lifting, track and field, soccer and cycling. According to Foy, a good majority of these athletes compete in regular world competition in their individual events. "These individuals are treated as athletes not looked at as if they arc special Foy said. "I saw a Special Olympian dead-lift 600 pounds and that is the level of com- petition you see at these games Mize believes Special Olympics provides many unique opportuni- ties and advantages for the resi- dents of North Carolina. "The value of this event is that it creates awareness Mize said. "You see these individuals as ath- letes and you sec what they can do instead of what they can't Mize believes there are many lessons to be learned from this pop- ulation and how they approach life. "They have such a good attitude and appreciate life much more than we do Mize said. "It really puts things in perspective An event of this size requires many fund-raisers in addition to the support of state and local agencies to be successful. ECU sororities and fraternities have in the past often contributed to the fund-raising process according to Mize. The ASMO company of Greenville is under Japanese management and has helped to fund a large portion of the Japanese delegation coming to ECU. Interested volunteers can contact Dean Foy at 329-4541. . NBA sports Tha East Carolinian continuld from pigi 11 they joined the league. Now that Jordan is gone, it opens the door for one of these young players to take the baton into the next century the same way Jordan took it from Magic. True, there will never be another Jordan. But then again, there will never be another Bird or Dr. J either. Students here at ECU have their own opinions involving the goings- on in the NBA. When asked if Jordan's retirement would affect his watching of the NBA this season, one student agreed. "The Lockout will affect my not watching the NBA said junior Eric Lane. Sophomore Patrick Watson had a similar opinion that not Jordan's retirement but the players' strike was responsible for his disappoint- ment in the NBA. "No, Jordan's retirement will not stop me from watching the NBA. It is due to the players' reluctance to play Watson said. Other students expressed their feelings about the loss of Jordan. "When Jordan left he took a lot with him graduate student John Shelton said. Students also have their picks for the team that will dethrone the Bulls this year as new World Champions. Most students picked a team from the West, and that team is Houston. After the Lockout the Rockets signed former Bull Scottie Pippen to add to their already strong roster that includes two of the NBA's 50 Greatest Players of All Time, Charles and Hakeem. The East has its own World Champion Contender as well. Many sports writers, and students alike are saying that Indiana is the team to beat in the East Reggie Miller and Mark Jackson will run into stiff competition when they meet the Knicks in the Playoffs. With players like Ewing, Starks, Oakley and Spreewell the Pacers may have a tough time matching up. Students around East Carolina's campus are reluctant to watch the NBA this season because they see the players arc more worried about themselves than the fans and the game that has brought them fame and fortune. But it does not matter if you are going to watch the games or not, since the season will go on and a champion will be crowned. Who will it be? rec briefs continued from page 12 picked first round winner, two points per team which advances to the "Sweet 16 three points for each team which reaches the "Great Eight four points for identifying each "Final Four" team, and five points for accurate- ly forecasting winners in the semi- final and final games. The contest champion is the individual who garners the largest amount of points throughout the tournament. If more than one participant is tied with the same number of points, a tiebreaker will be employed. If the ECU team quali- fies for the tournament, partici- pants select the winner and final score for 'the team's first round game.

This contest is open to all ECU students, faculty and staff. Standings for the event will be posted on each Tuesday through- out the tournament on the bulletin board adjacent to Court 1 at SRC to allow participants to periodically track their progress. T-shirts will be awarded to the winners of the Pick 'Em for both the men's and women's NCAA tournaments. Among the total of 73 individuals participating last year include top prognosticators Todd Boyd and Dana Long who will return again this year.

Broncos bring bucks DENVER (AP- The Denver Broncos have given their city more than just bragging rights. The football club had infused the local economy with more than $120 million, the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce estimates. The figure includes money spent on food, drink, rickets and parking as well as T-shirts, hats and other merchandise. The chamber estimated that $50 mil- lion came from out-of-town visi- tors to games. "It's retail; it's entertainment; it's tourism; it's a number of things said Steve Coffin, execu- tive vice president of the chamber of commerce. "There's an increased demand for Broncos products because of the Super Bowl Estimates on the take from this year's championship season were not available. But there could be another increase when construc- tion on the new football stadium begins this year. Coffin said. Beyond the boost to Denver's local economy, officials have said the Broncos have an immeasur- able effect on how national televi- sion audiences see the city. "Image-wise, the impact is tremendous said Rich Grant, spokesman for the Denver Metro Convention and Visitors Bureau. "People associate Denver with a winner.

They brought back the beads, the stories, and more stories. My buddy Slick, went down south for the festivities and brought back stories of a hellacious time, meeting other college students, and gettin' it on with the partying and the aura of New Orleans. It was all I could think about, so this is the year that I do it. ,L!NA UNIVERSITY � A B V Mardi �jras Mask Contest ECU Dining Services Presents the annual Mardi Gras Mask Contest! Create and make your own version of a Mardi Gras mask and enter to win: First Prize - $100 cash; Second Prize - $50 Advantage Account; Third Prize - $25 Advantage Account The rules are simple: 1. You must be a registered ECU student to enter, 2. Store bought masks are not eligible; 3. The mask must be wearable; 4. In the spirit of Mardi Gras, everything else is up to your imagination. The entries will be accepted during the week of February 8-12 at Mendenhall Dining Hall and will be on display there through February 12. Judging will occur and winners will be announced at Mardi Gras. I checked into flights - way too expensive, so I i thought I would drive. My car is your typical college car; it can only make it from home to the Minges Parking lot. I called Slick to see if he could go again, but he has to work, can you believe it? I exhausted my resources on all the parties over break and the hotels in New Orleans weren't cheap, still I was not to be denied. That is when I saw the ad in the East Carolinian. ECU CELEBRATES MARDI GRAS - FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1999 - EVERYTHING IS FREE WITH YOUR ECU ID. I was so excited as I read on Free Cajun buffet, free beads, free Video Karaoke, free dance lessons, the Lady Luck Casino (maybe I can still get lucky), Bourbon Street Bingo, Loozy-anna Laser Tag, DJ Arthur, and free prizes. I had just wandered into the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. I was on Easy Street and to make it even better I can get a guest ticket with my ID. I think I'm going to invite Slick; he deserves a good time at ECU's Mardi Gras in Mendenhall Student Center, Friday, February 12, 1999 from 9:00 PM to 2:00 AM. Now with the money I didn't spend I think I will try and save up for a GREAT Spring Break Trip. I wonder if there's a free one out there somewhere. If there is I'll find it. 1 The Origin of African- American Heritage mor m In 1926, Carter G. Woodson known as the "Father of Negro History introduced Negro History Week as a reaction to racism and to emphasize the many contributions that Negroes had made in the development of civilization. The week originally chosen by Woodson to celebrate Negro History Week fell during the weekhich included the birthdays of Frederick Douglas, African-American abolitionist, and Abraham Lincoln, signer of the Emancipation Proclamation. The 1920's have been characterized as the "Gay Twenties" but for African-Americans this was not the case. America was deeply segregated and there was a tightening of Jim Crow Laws that further segregated a divided country. In an attempt to ease some of the racial tensions Woodson wanted to use Negro History Week to educjjte all Americans about the rich contributions made by African-Americans. Over the years, Negro History Week has undergone a number of changes. In 1976, the entire month of February was set aside as African-American History Month. Generally, African-American History Month is observed with speeches, lectures, films, presentations, theatrical performances, exhibits and historical information. Each year a national theme for African-American History Month is selected by the Association for the Study of Afro-American Life and History. This year's theme is 5 oj foui 'Arts & Entertainment Magazine of The East last Carolinian � m I wMnkfim. Thursday. February 4,1999 : .

It's the small colleges whose teams toil in anonymity until they get a bid to the NCAA Tournament as a seed in the teens. These are the teams who make March so maddening. It's about time they found their way into a college basketball video game. Final Four '99 is the first col- lege basketball game put out by 989 Studios for the Sony Playstation. 989 is the compa- ny behind such titles as NFL Gameday and NBA Shootout. For their first crack at the col- lege basketball market. Final Four '99 is a solid start Every previous college basketball game has included only the teams from the country's major confer- ences. The total number of teams never climbed too far above 150. �toofour topped all of their rivals by incorporating almost 300 teams to chose from. Almost every Division One team, no matter how obscure, found their way into the game, in addition to the usual col- lege basketball heavyweights such as North Carolina, Kentucky and Duke the game also has the less storied programs such as the Fighting Camels of Campbell, the Eagles of Monmouth and, most importantly, the Pirates of ECU. Up to now, most college basketball games have played like choppy step- children of that company's NBA title. This trend continues with Find Four V9. The game is easy to learn and easy to play. The fast rate of play and the relative ease with which one can score leads to many exciting and high-scoring games. One of the game's only downsides would be the graphics. The game does not have the detailed graphics of most other Playstation games. For instance, details such as the players' facial features and writing on their jerseys appear blurry. Another problem is the inane play- by-play delivered by former Indiana Hoosier gnat and current TV ana- lyst, Quinn Buckner. Buckner has a unique knowledge of the game of basketball earned through decades of being in the game as a player and later as a coach. Ifs a shame that none of this was used in the game. Buckner's comments range from the ridiculous, "N BC, Nothing but cord to the just plain stupidStriiiiing muuuuuuusic Blurry graphics arid unfortunate commentary, however, do not keep Final Four from being a truly fun game. But the lone fact that one can play a season with ECU makes the game worth purchasing. And almost 300 teams complete with accurate uniforms, home floors and rosters makes Final Four "99 the best college basketball game on the market. �1t. iqi .� iMiam�ic�initi 11.000 cam �m fcajaw mi nmm ?.0DO caan at t� AnwLRoysler Editor in Chief Heather Burgess Managing Editor Miccah Smith Enter CalebRote Assistant Editor acfhweWliidiiiHiidpn im�kUiiniU(�l B�t,TWk� Catfcaa � aaav Mtt�M n� Im Ma �tan tarn � to iMri �!���. ah wrki aM l aaacfaavn Hi !��� im � a � m m ma Man bf aataaR ban aatt a) afat IflM �Ml � ataBaa- w Mat aba .�a Sm Caaaal SbaW nI lUl.tataaaatnaVOaJai t I Ryan Kennemur Music Guv At last year's Oscars, you may have seen him uncom- fortably sandwiched between Cdine Dion and Trisha Yearwood. You may have heard his single "Miss Misery" while viewing "Good Will Hunting If these two instances don't apply to you, then you probably have had no contact with the likes of melody-guru Elliott Smith. Smith was once the front of his own band, a little Portland, Ore. based garage rock quartet called Heatmiser. CD Review He co-wrote the band's songs and, multi-instumentalistthatheis, brought an eclectic and eerie under- tone to every song. Though their albums were critically applauded, the group never took off on the success standpoint. For their last alburnMic City Sons the cover featured nothing but airplanes, signifying their depar- ture from the group that they tried for years to establish a name for. The rest of the band went on to other things, such as forming smaller local groups or raising families. Smith decided that he was not done with the musk business. He began his solo career in 1995 with a mainly acoustic but highly melodic self-tided outing. He followed up with two albums ("EitherOr" and "Roman Candle") over the next two years, and gathered a small following on the West Coast It was in this time that he befriended movie director Gus Van Sant.who hired him to head the soundtrack of his movie "Good Will Hunting for which he (Smith) received an Oscar nomination. Fresh from mis success, Smith was recruited by a brand new record label, Dreamworks. Seeing as how he was now backed with the money of three of the richest men in the world, Elliott saw his chance to make the album that he would have made long ago had he been able to afford all of the back-up instrumentalists and special effects. When his newest album "XO" begins with "Sweet Adeline it sounds like every other one of his albums, acoustic and quiet. All of this changes in about a minute and a half, upon which time his breathy voice is over- taken by a barrage of percussion instruments and piano in an almost apocalyptic outburst It doesn't take a musical genius to hear that his biggest influence is the Beatles, what with the elaborate melodies he structures.

Surely most of jj you who read BW this have had the experience during the Easter holiday of sitting in the family living room watching some bearded dude reading some stone tablets. That's right folks, Moses is the man I am refer- ring to and the age-old story the movie portrays is called "The Ten Commandments Recently, the film company Dream Works released a cartoon version telling the same Bible story of Moses. The final outcome was "The Prince of Egypt an animated film much shorter than its predecessor. The story-line of the film was good of course, and I say this mostly because should I shun it, I believe that I would be reserving a place for myself in Hell. Many potential scenes were left out, perhaps because of time constraints or budget. For instance, there was no mention of Moses making bricks without straw as well as other tidbits that may have added to the complex story. "The Prince of Egypt" is indeed a cartoon, however it is following a current trend of cartoons, such as "Antz"and"A Bug's Life, which are geared toward an adult audience. In my humble opinion, the movie is enjoyable for people of any age because it depicts a story in a format most all of us grew up with: anima- tion. It was also easier for the direc- tor to create such scenes as the Bunting Bush, the Pillar of Fire and the parting of the Red Sea. Also, since it was an animated feature, these scenes were more realistic because the entire movie was unre- alisticdoes that make sense to everyone dse or just me? One aspect that "The Prince of Egypt" could have done without was the singing. Cartoon films common- ly feature singing characters, but in this case, they went a little over- board. Somebody must have enjoyed the musk because the movie inspired the production of three sep- arate soundtracks, a score, inspira- tional and contemporary artists, and a Nashville soundtrack consisting of country performers. The greatest benefits of the film are its durable story line and the feet that it educates the viewer with a Bible story. This is not a movie for devout Christians only; even an agnostic could find enjoyment in this film too.Till next time television! answers to Tuesday's East Carolinian Crossword QQ0 DBS ULJQQUEi nan raaau snanna QDnnraQno ???dhei ?aaaw guu ana anaon uaa ncman ?qh ana anoa G3HODO QUaG DDE nnDQoaa aaaEEaa DUL3 WODU riDflGDM mnn uou aanaa Baacoa ciBEirannnQ amtfBuu aann sea t' ifefe'iifrj-ii T I I Jl a & & so The Buccaneer I Still Know What You Did Last Summer R Daily: 70,9:30 Sat-Sun: 1:45,4:20,7:00,9:30 Psycho R Daily: 7:15, 20 Sat-Sun: 1:00,3:05,5:10, 7:15,920 Vampires R Daily: 70,930 Sat-Sun: 20,430,7.fl0,9:30 Carolina East 4 ABug'sLife C Daily: 7:15,930 Sat-Sua 10,3:05,5:10, 7:15,930' EnemyOfThe State R Dairy. 70,9:45 Sat-Sun: 10,4:00,7:00,9:45 JackFrost PG Dairy:7:L5 Sat-Sun: 35,7:15 Mighty Joe Young PG Daily: 7:00,9:40 Sat-Sun: 15,40,7.00,9:40 The Water Boy PG-13 Daily: 9:20 Sat-Sun: 10,5:10,9:20 CarmikeU A Civil Action PG-13 Daily: 1:15,45,70,9:45 AtRrstSight PG-13 Dairy: 10,3:45,7:00,95 Gloria R Dailv: �00,430,70.930 In Dreams R DaBy:130,�IO,7�5,25 Patch Adams PG-13 Daily: 1:30,4:15,70,9:45 Stepmom PG-13 Daily: 1:15,4:10,75,9:50 TheFacukyR Dairy: 20,430,700.9-J2O The Prince Of Egypt PG Daily: 10,3(6,5:10,7:15,930 The Thin Red Line R Dairy: 10,4:30,8:15 VarsityBmea R Virus R Daily: 1:45,4:15,7:05,930 YouVeGotMail PG Daily: l00,40,70,930 Video Review Real men watch "Goodfellas" "Goodfellas" Patrick McMahon Staff Writer What do you get when you put Joe Pesci, Robert DeNiro, Ray Liotta and Paul Sorvino in a film directed by Martin Scorcese? Pure and utter bril- liance. This rat pack of "mobster- esque" standouts come together in the 1990 wiseguy movie "Goodfellas the defining film of each of their careers. Based on Nicholas Pileggi's book, "Wiseguy the film brings the viewer through a twisted web of mob vio- lence and deception. Through the dever narration of Henry Hill (played expertly by Ray Liotta) the story begins to unfold as the viewer witnesses a young Hill get involved with the local wiseguys and begin to work his way up in "the Family Comic relief in an otherwise brutal film is hard to come by, but the moment that sticks out the most comes fairly early in the movie. After hooking up with the local bosses to fence stolen ciga- rettes, a young Hill is busted by the cops and appears before a judge for his Scoflnt shows how nob n reiffy b in "GoodMss" hearing. Of course the judge is taking money from the bosses to leave them alone (what kind of mob movie would it be without it?), so Hill beats the first of many charges that lay ahead in his life. When leaving the courthouse, Hill is greeted by everyone in "the Family? The main boss, Paulie Cicero, yells jok- ingly to Hill's lawyerYou popped his cherry The movie shows graphically the highs and lows of mob life. From murder to drug addiction to adultery, everything is laid out in a stunningly realistic yet cinematic smorgasbord of greed and selfishness. Under Scorcese's watchful eye, the film pro- ceeds with a precision and direction rarely seen in gangster movies. At about two and a half hours, the story moves faster than a beer on penny draft night at the Elba The most compelling performances of the entire cast came from Robert DeNiro and Joe Pesci. DeNiro, as the cold and calculating killerthief Jimmy Conway, shines in his role with daz- zling skill. Picture his performance in Casino and multiply it by 10. That's how good he is. And what would a mob movie be without Joe Pesci? In the role of psycho-sociopathic lowlife Tommy DeVito, he is the humor, vio- lence, fear, insecurity, and chutzpah of the whole film rolled into one tiny ball of fire. In all, this is the greatest mob movie ever made (at least as for as I'm con- cerned). The all-star cast and bullet- proof direction makes this a must-see for any gangster fan. To all you people who think Tarantino is the master of gangster flicks, sit back and watch the show from the Scorcese side.

This week will probably showcase your determined spirit; when you have something to fight for you win. TAURUS: (April 21-May 21) Follow your hunches regarding money matters, especially those situ- ations you have no real experience with. GEMINI: (May22-June21) You tend to worry about money and would be better off being careful how you spend discretionary income. Think big this week. Your charming self will open new doors for you - everyone wants you around, because everyone likes to feel good. You'll accomplish alot. CANCER: (June 22-July 23) You need to get things done, but nobody else seems to want to go along with the program - looks like you're on your own. LEO; (July24-Afigust23) Your ability to be objective will hdp you to resove a (airly sticky situation between two co-workers. Romance is in the air - your love life couldn't be any better. Guard against intense feelings of jealousy, there really is no cause for such strong reactions. VIRGO: (August 24 - September 23) Disappointments in your lovclife are painful, but you realize that you are not at fault for what happened. Don't drive yourself too hard at work week, because you won't receive the credit clue. LIBRA: (September 24 - October 23) Keep yourself busy this week and don't think about depressing things. A change is coming in the near future. SCORPIO: (October 24 - November 22) However hard it may be, try to be charitable to those who give you a hard time. Your warm and under- standing personality will shine through, and those around you will respond favorably. �i SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 - December 21) Finish up old projects at home and in the workplace, before starting new ones - or everything will catch up with you. Youll accomplish alot and people will be caught up in your enthusiasm. If you have been quar- reling with family members, its time' to set things straight. CAPRICORN: (December 22 - January 20) There will be plenty of variety, so there's little chance of being bored. Both friendship and group endeav- ors will dominate - your ability to cooperate comes in handy. AQUARIUS: (January 21 - February 19) Spend time working on routine mat ters, and you will be surprised how well the week will go. It's possible that you may be under pressure in the workplace, but that never slows you down; continue at your own pace. PISCES: (February 20-March 20) Family issues are most on your mind. Older people depend on you for certain feedback. Your thinking maybe just a bit fuzzy, and you are inclined to go off on flights of fancy - it's okay to do so.

"Without musk I would just as soon be dead Suta said, summing up a phi- losophy that through the years has led him to take up opera, the piano and the harmonica. And it was what drove him to walk into the middle school's beginning band dass and ask for the chance to learn how to play a horn he had always loved. Without hesitating, the teacher told him.Take a seat Since then, Suta has advanced from "Mary Had a Little Lamb to Beethoven, from sixth-grade to eighth- grade band. Josh Mack took over leadership of the Roosevelt band program this year and inherited Suta I just knew he had to be there, Mack said. Suta's love for music goes back to his childhood in Aurora, HI when his mother would sing songs in her native Hungarian. He grew up studying singing with an accompanist for the Chicago Opera and speaking German, Hungarian, Romanian and Italian in his immi- grant neighborhood. After World War II, he studied to become an opera singer, but soon dis- covered his love of music wasn't enough to pay the bills, so he raised two sons on a pipe fitter's wages. But music never left Suta's life. After he retired, he teamed with a friend on piano and sang at weddings, picnics and senior centers. And on his own he even sang the national anthem at a few University of Oregon basketball games. Through the years, he always remem- bered the days when his brother and a friend would go house to house at Christmas, playing carols on a violin and French horn. Those memories came flooding back four years ago when he spotted an old French horn in a Salvation Army store. "I had that horn in my ear Suta said. "I saw the tag. It said 85 bucks. I said to the lady What's your best price. I don't have 85 bucks in my budget. Will you go $75?" She said Yes He tried a few adult classes to learn the instrument but they were all too advanced. That's what led him to Roosevelt. Despite heart trouble and nerve dam- age in his legs that make it difficult to walk, Suta rarely misses practice and is &ecome a member.

About a year ago, he stumbled in the small cluttered house where he lives atone, falling on his French horn and crushing the bell. He dropped the instrument off at a local music store, not knowing how he would afford to pay for the repairs. When Suta returned to the store the next day, the horn was fixed the Roosevelt Middle School band mem- bers had pitched in to pay for the work. "It almost knocked me over, Suta said, cryingYou hear about all the things youngsters do, all this and that But you don't hear the beauty of the chil- dren review, continued from page.2 lyrics are rivaled by few, usually dealing with emotionally distraught characters and lonely underdogs. There is no real recurring style to this record. Smith seems bent on using his newfound financial back- ing to shower us with a wide range of styles ranging from simple acoustic ballads ("Pitsdeh") to wist- ful a cappella ("I Didn't Understand") to semi-rockers ("A Question Mark") to pianostring compositions, such as "Waltz 2" and "Baby Britain "XD"is one of 1998's best, and if you are a fan of complex Beade-esque melodies, then it is not to be missed. It appears that Elliott Smith is one of a rare breed, the singersongwriter that is too preoccupied with how he feds his music should sound than to play down to the masses.
