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

ensure the
strategy's
success,
Gene
Rayfield,
chairman
of the

these
increases will come only with
hard work and determination.
Rayfield said that the trustees
want to aggressively pursue
increased enrollment, while

the same time. He suggested

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.

Agents with the North Carolina
Alcohol Law Enforcement agency
(ALE) made 85 arrests on 91
charges related to underage drink-
ing last Friday and Saturday.
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

HUNT CALLS ON
LEGISLATORS TO
MAKE SCHOOLS BEST
IN COUNTRY
RALEIGH (AP) Legislators
should carry out their commitment
to get teacher salaries to the
national average and take on a new
commitment to make North
Carolina schools the best in the
country by 2010, Gov. 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.

an expansion of the

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

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.

nience store. "Sometimes it's a lit-

Habitat for Humanity of Piti County.
Habitat for Humanity is a new
opportunity on campus for stu-
dents who wish to be involved and
make a difference in the lives of
others.
Freshman Michael Aho is in the
process of founding an ECU chap-
ter of Habitat for Humanity.
Habitat for
Humanity is a
nonprofit orga-
nization that
helps people
build homes
who otherwise
would not have
the means to do
so. Although
the chapter is not yet officially rec-
ognized as a university organiza-
tion, over 100 students have joined.
"Last semester was pretty much
all planning Aho said. "This
semester we're working on becom-
ing an official campus organization
and applying to be an official cam-
pus chapter through Habitat for
Humanity International. By fall
semester we should be having
meetings and working on projects
on a regular basis
Other campus organizations and
students wishing to volunteer right
away, should contact the Habitat
for Humanity of Pitt County.
"We get lots of groups from
ECU who want to Help out said
Suzanne Butcher of the Habitat for
Humanity of Pitt County.
"Fraternities, sororities, the
Teaching Fellows and the
Construction Association have all
helped out here before
When the ECU chapter is fully
functional, members will work
closely with the Pitt County affili-
ate. "Our chapter can't do much on
its own Aho said. "Pitt County is
our guiding light
Even while the ECU chapter is
still just starting out, its members
already have big plans.
"We're going to work a few
Saturdays at some
home sites in the
"We get lots of groups from area and at the resale
shop on 10th Street
homes Aho said.
According to the
ECU Student
Volunteer Program
Director Judy Baker, Habitat for
Humanity International offers
opportunities for sadents to go to
different places around the world
over Spring Break to work on
home-building projects. The ECU
chapter is tentative.y planning to
send a group to Michigan in March.

Lewinsky interview reveals little
Washington � House Republican
prosecutors questioned Monica
Lewinsky for less than five
hours Monday in a session likely to
determine the course, if not the
outcome, of President Clinton's
Senate impeachment trial.
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

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.

OUNICW
Just when you think we have set foot in the right direction toward equality between men
and women, someone has to step up to the plate and prove us wrong.
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.

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.

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

STAFF WRITF.B
Enjoy a good game of cards? 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

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

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

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

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

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.

Unlikely suspects charged Cologne
SANTA CRUZ, California (AP) -
She wore a Spice Girls t-shin, her
blonde hair cut in a conservative
bob. 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

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.
"I'm devastated her mother,
Linda Freeman, told the Santa
Cruz Sentinel from their home in

Santa Cruz police Sgt. Steve
Clark said Freeman had told detec-

reveals thief
ABERDEEN, South Dakota (AP)
- A would-be casino robber foiled
by his own cologne has received
seven years behind bars.
Jerold Nissen of Aberdeen
wore a Halloween mask as he
entered the casino Nov. 4 with a
loaded gun, said Ken Vams, assis-
tant Brown County state's attor-
ney. When Nissen announced the
robbery, a casino clerk recognized
his cologne as that of a regular
patron and addressed Nissen by
name.
"She told him to take the mask
off, that it wasn't funny Vams
said.
"He put the gun away, took the
mask off, sat down at a machine
and played lottery for a few min-
utes
The robbery attempt was
reported the next day, when casi-
no officials noticed phone lines
had been cut A search of Nissen's
truck turned up the mask, gun and
wire cuppers, Vams said.

State law mandates prison sen-
tences for anyone who uses a gun
during a crime. Freeman faces up
to 26 years in prison if convicted,
prosecutors said.
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. He was mumbling

Vasqucz told police he tried to
remove the boy's head with a shov-
el, but denied mutilating the body.
The defendant said he was sorry he
killed Cardenas and that he
thought of suicide after the murder.
"I wanted to kill myself, too
Vasquez said on the tape.
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. "Frankly, with
something like this, I don't think
end-of-the-world enthusiasts are a
big part of our customer base.
"You know, you don't want to
make light of a person's millenni-
um-driven beliefs, but I don't think
it's something that would have a
broad reach to instill a sense of
fear Ralston 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.
"For a town the size of Agra to get j
on Paul Harvey, that's really some-
thing it's been fun

Salmon wants Reagan sface on Mt Rushmore Robbers try to getaway with loot in stroller
PHOENIX (AP) - An Arizona con-
gressman says he has come up with
the best way to immortalize former
President Ronald Reagan.
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

Pirates upset number-one Old Dominion
Basketball gets first
CM win of season
Senior Writer
eric COUCH
For twenty years the Pirates have
always come away from Norfolk,
VA with a loss; that was until
Monday night
For the first time since 1979,
ECU beat Old Dominion on their
home floor and they did it when
they needed it the most. 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.

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

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.

"We were not in attack mode. If

With eight minutes left the
Pirates began a 13-2 run that essen-

started with Misty Home's three-

had built up a 21-point lead with
three minutes left At halftime the

"We were not very smart defen-

offense. They really shut us down

said.
The Lady Seahawks opened the
second half with an 8-4

game in jeopardy.
"We weren't focused
Gibson said. "When we
go into halftime with a

"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-

About 7,000 athletes represent-

We all know that Jordan and

likely as ECU going to the Final

But there are plenty of other rea-

One of which is that with the sea-

with it play-off
implications.
Another great

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. All
players should report to the playing
area at this time with their ECU
One Card to be presented prior to
participation. Participants should
also bring a small supply of quarters
to play in scheduled matches.
Schedules will be finalized after
the check-in of players has con-
cluded. 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.
Annual NCAA Basketball
Tournament Pick 'Em Contest
Beginning on Monday, March 8,
the Department of Recreational

contest with competition available
in the Men's andor Women's tour-
naments.
It is difficult to isolate a sporting
event which is more hotly debated,
discussed, or of greater interest
within the media and among the
general public than the NCAA bas-
ketball tournament. Entries may
be picked up at 128 SRC and must
be turned in by the deadline on
Thursday, March 11 at noon. After
the initial pairings are determined
on Selection Sunday, participants
complete a tournament bracket by
selecting winner for each of the 63
games. Points are accumulated for
accurately chosen teams who
advance to the next round using a
method of ascending value for each
succeeding round of play. One

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. "When we step
on the court now, we feel that we

stir.
"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

tor of Athletic Marketing.

"They have such a good attitude

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

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.

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

I had it all planned. I, Joe Student, made a New Year's
Resolution. I was going to MARDI GRAS. I had heard
about it from my buds. 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.

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.

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

ECU In Final Four
Stephen Schramm
Senior Writer
To me the thing that makes
college basketball so great is
not the titanic programs with
their rosters full of high-school
Ail-Americans and home are-
nas that seat thousands. 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.

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. His delicate

Movie Review
Caleb Rom
� M Assistant Editor
m
T. 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!

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. You
won't be disappointed.

ARIES:
(March 21-April 20)
Your manner is quite pleasing and
others see you as being accepting -
don't let them down. 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. Your jealousy of a
mate is tacky, keep your cool.
IF THIS WEEK
IS YOUR BIRTHDAY:
It seems as if you are work-
ing harder than ever lately.
And that each task requires
twice the time and effort it
would normally take.

MILWAUKEE (AP) The executive
director of the Leukemia Society of
America's Wisconsin chapter is a bit
miffed about a fund-raiser for the
group planned by a group of strip-

"You don't want to dissuade people

She also said a surprise party at
which the strippers will dance is

hard work.
"He is exactly like a middle school
band player, even though he is older,
said 13-year-old Anna Richardson.
"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

The young horn players look to him
for guidance and, in turn, they help
him.
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,

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. Lefshope
that others hear this album and fol-
low him in his quest for musical
integrity.
