Hiodon staff writer Campus parking and traffic will be undergoing many changes as the system becomes more transit ori- ented in the coming years. "Parking next to buildings will become less available, so the entire community needs to buy into the park and ride system said Johnny Eastwood, external operations Bill seeks building funds $58 million needed for total project costs Peter Dawyot senior writer Proposals for the financing of the new Science and Technology Building have been requested to the North Carolina General Assembly for parts of the $58 mil- lion needed in order to create one of the largest and most expensive buildings on main campus. ECU hopes to relieve the allot- ted money in a bill that proposes circulation of the money through a two year fiscal deal each amount- ing nearly $27.5 million. The Science and Technology building in which ECU hopes to relieve to money for will be the second largest building on the campus at 259,000 square feet, dwarfed only in size to the School of Medicine's Brody Building which encompass- es 476,329 square feet. ECU sparked a major interest in the development of the building after a panel of N.C. University inspectors rated the Flanagan Building as the second worst- developed building in the universi- ty system. Flanagan currently houses the chemistry department, and the School of Industry and Technology along with depart- mental offices and labs, all which will be transferred over to the Science and Technology Building possibly as soon as the fall semester of 2002. The bill was sent to appropria- tion committees Monday, March 1 for considerations. House Representatives Gene Rogers, Marian McLawhorn, Joe Tolson, Zeno Edwards, and Edith Warren are among the co-sponsors of the bill. While Senators Bob Martian and Ed Warren are looking into the proposed bill for the Senate. Bruce Flye, director of Facilities Planning, does not think the bill wilt delay the progress for the building's development since plans have already been made for the design of the building.

"A cultural change needs to take on the campus com- munity Sources say that the problem with parking is not availability, it is convenience. "People need to utilize fringe parking said Pat Gertz, adminis- trative officer for Parking and Transit services. "There are plenty of spaces, they are just not on the core of campus The use of the bus system will become essential in the coming years to utilize all of the parking available to students and staff. Appalachian and N.C. State University are also in the process of implementing a more transit based system. "If everyone would obey the rules and park where they are sup- posed to, then traffic would be much less of a problem said Debra Grubb, office worker in traf- fic services at Appalachian State University. At ECU, there are also problems with illegal parking. "It is a convenience issue, but it is an issue that needs to be addressed Eastwood said. Parking at all three schools is offered on a limited basis according to class rank. Freshmen being the lowest on the scales, finding park- ing to accommodate them is often an issue. "ECU does a great job with freshman parking, it is not offered at State for students who live on campus and only a limited amount is available for freshman who com- mute said Cathy Reeve, director of transportation at N.C. State University. N.C. State also uses a' system similar to ECU's Pirate Ride, the Wolfline, which is a free Park-and-Ride system that picks up students at predetermined loca- tions. "State does the best they can with limited space said Tracey Phillips, N.C. State student and communications major. "Almost everyone uses the Park-and-Ride, there are convenient locations for everyone, it is free, and the best thing is that it is almost always on time ECU is looking toward follow- ing State's example of a successful transit system "Our plan is to make this a pedestrian campus said Gertz. "Within the next six months a parking consultant will be brought on campus to review the facilities and help us make a plan for the future The revenue gained from park- ing decals and the parking and traf- fic services goes to maintenance and grounds upkeep as well as to new project at all three of the schools. Lots are being paved over Numbers show ECU not E-Z U Terra Steinbeiser staff writer Some students are concerned that ECU's longstanding reputation as a party school may affect the way people perceive its academics. However, statistics show that ECU students are up to par with stu- dents at comparable institutions such as Appalachian State University and UNC-Greensboro. "I think we are a party school, but not to the extent some people make us out to be said freshman Hillary Andrews. The average GPA and SAT scores of last year's incoming fresh- man class at ECU was 3.2 and 1020 respectively. "The average SAT and GPA scores of the latest freshman class were both higher than they were last year said Gerald Clayton, associate director of admissions.

But, last week at Clement, it was not a drill. A fire broke out in Clement Hall last Monday forcing residents to evacuate the premises. An electric short in the air conditioning of an unoccupied room was most likely the cause of the flames, officials said. "Definitely an accident said Phil Louis of the ECU Environmental Health Department. According to Louis, all fire safe- ty precautions were operating smoothly. "The alarm systems functioned "Definitely an accident Phil Louis ECU Environmental Health Department properly and there were no prob- lems getting kids to safety Louis said. Each residence hall has evac- uation plans posted prominently on every floor and conducts fire drills to practice fire evacuation safety.

"It is not that we have a shortage of vacant spots, it is that the spaces are not convenient to where stu- dents want to go said David Santa Ana, director of transportation. The issue is being able to make parking convenient for students and staff alike. "We want to implement the park once policy, where a student leaves their car in one place to attend all of their classes, therefore reducing traffic on campus and pro- moting pedestrians and bicyclists Reeve said.

PHOTO BY MICHAEL SMITH K r i s t v Daniel SENIOR WRITER ECU officials are considering a for- mer International Broadcasting Bureau (IBB) building shut down in 1995 as a possible area for uni- versity expansion. The IBB, renamed from Voices of America by Clinton, decided to shut down the site to save money. According to Bruce Hunter, "We were going to use the main building for a museum and the rest of the land for recreational services Kimble said. Ron Kimble, City Manager station manager for IBB, the site, a receiving station for the bureau, was built in the late 1950's along with two other sites in Pitt County used for transmitting. After the site was shut down, it was taken over by the General Service Administrators. According to ECU professor Byron Burlingham, the university wants the 640 acres of land to expand the campus. The university, in conjunction with N.C. State and A&T University, will be receiving a grant from the U.S. Department of Education to cover the costs of the expansion. Featured on the site is a 27,000 sq. ft. building that will become the future site of the North Carolina Institute for Health and Safety in Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, shortened to the Agro- Med Institute.

Appalachian only retained 62.1 percent of their first-year students. The university is always trying to come up with new programs and support systems for students so that they will be able to stay moti- Jr,vated to graduate said Annette ?'fPacilio, associate director of "Institutional Research and "�Planning at Appalachian. "It's ,i something we're improving on r,lAll schools have their specific areas of strength in academic pro- grams. The top three majors at ECU are business, nursing and ele- mentary education. Graduates of ECU are most frequendy hired at banks, schools and accounting firms, and at textile, transportation and insurance companies. Appalachian is best known for their management, communica- tions and elementary education programs. Nations Bank, Gallo, First Union Bank and Burlington Industries are the the companies that many graduates work for after leaving Appalachian. At UNC-G, the three most pop- ular majors include business administration, nursing and psy- chology. Companies like American Express, Arthur Andersen, IBM and Wachovia Bank are the most common employers of graduates in these fields. "We've found that graduates of the business administration pro- gram at UNC-G are very well pre- pared to meet the demands of our business said Carl Langely of Wachovia Bank. "We're pretty much even with the other colleges around here said sophomore Elizabeth Jones.

The former speech pathology professor was terminated from his tenured position by Chancellor Eakin amid allegations of using obscene language during faculty meetings, shoving fellow professor Dr. Richard Shine and disobeying requests from his department chair. According to DeMarco, the alle- gations of disobeying his depart- ment chair came after he was told not participate in further sessions with students. Demarco said that he did not cancel a scheduled session with one student because he misun- derstood the requests of the chair. Demarco claims that the shoving incident was the result of his multi- ple sclerosis. He said it happened when he was shocked when Dr. Shine placed his hand on him. Demarco said he reacted by throw- ing his hands up, and as a result of this, accusations of pushing Shine were made. In a recent letter from the Employment Security Commission, Demarco was denied the rehearing because his application was four days late. Demarco's lawyer, Al McSurery, thought he had 15 days to apply for a rehearing, but the deadline is 10 days. "He missed the deadline DeMarco said "I understand peo- ple make mistakes. I'm unhappy, but I have to move on DeMarco said that he has no plans to repetition the ESC. On April 19, a judicial appeal will be heard by the Wake County Superior Court to determine if it was a fair trial. DeMarco also said that McSurery will file suit against ECU and Chancellor Eakin under the 1990 American's with Disabilities Act. DeMarco said he was discriminated against because of his multiple scle- Evaluations planned jbrMardi22-April8 Amy Sheridan senior writer nation of an ad in TEC, this story, and the e-mails sent to all the stu- dents through the the school e-mail system, that will encourage more student participation said Associate Dean Jo Ann Jones.

In the past, advisers usually passed out the evaluation survey form when students came in to make their spring schedule. However, last year, for the first time students were given a choice to either get the survey from their adviser and mail it in, or use the Internet. The Office of Undergraduate Studies hope that this year there will be a much more positive turn out because they have sent e-mail to every students school e-mail address.

By participating in this survey, students will be able not only to evaluate their advisers, but also to help improve academic advising at ECU. "The $300 is,a way of saying thank you for the" student participa- tion said Dorothy Muller, dean of Under Graduate Studies. Advisers who choose to partici- pate in the evaluation program will be eligible for recognition as out- standing advisers for the 1998-1999 academic year. Faculty will be selected as outstanding General College and declared major advis- ers by committees established by the Office of Undergraduate Studies in conjunction with appro- priate Faculty Senate cornmittees and the Council on Undergraduate Academic Advising. Four former winners of the General College or Declared Major Outstanding Adviser Award at ECU have been selected recipients of the Outstanding Adviser Award given by the National Academic Advising Association. Seniors can participate and a number of professors and senior students are encouraged to as well. "As a senior, I never have been given the opportunity to evaluate my adviser's performance; however, I feel that many more students will participate because it will alleviate the pain staking process of mailing the forms back to the university said Jacques Grace, a senior and accounting major. "Having the survey on the Internet will allow more opportuni- ty for students to participate Mailer said. "While they were on the school e-mail system we would hope that students might look fur- ther than the survey into the rest of the schools web location ed, the university must then find a contractor for the development of the proposed area near 10th Street and the General Classroom Building, partially set on Faculty Way. This process could take some time since the N.C. system requires that a committee must decide which contractor offers the best value for the money. Flye said that the building will combine much better technology than that of the old Flanagan Building. "This one is probably a litde more complex than the Brody Building, with more sophisticated laboratories Flye said. Sen. Ed Warren thinks that once the wheels sun turning there should be no problem in getting the project started in the develop- ment stages. Warren said that usu- ally capital projects are looked at in the last two to three weeks of ses- sion, sometime near June, with results coming possibly in May. Warren, however, is not sure if the bill will be passed. "The bill was just submitted. That's one of the last things we will look at at the present time we don't know if the bill will be passed Warren said.

VGA continiid from pigt 1 rally DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) Elizabeth Dole's announcement of an exploratory committee for the Republican presidential nomina- tion brings new attention to the GOP field and should give her cariy steam in the race, analysts say. Mrs. Dole will announce at a rally here Wednesday the forma- tion of the committee and also begin airing television commercials in Iowa and New Hampshire flesh- ing out her campaign's themes, aides said. In the TV spots, she warns of a "thickening layer of skepticism and doubt "If I run, this will be why I believe our people are looking for leaders who will call America to her better nature Mrs. Dole said. "Yes, we've been let down, and by people we should have been able to look up to A transcript of the commercial was obtained from a site on the World Wide Web, and two Dole aides confirmed it was the script for the new spot "I'm not a politician and, frankly, today that may be a plus Mrs. Dole says. With the formation of an exploratory committee, Mrs. Dole joins Texas Gov. George W. Bush at the top of the name recognition heap among GOP presidential hopefuls. The two dominate early polling for what is shaping up as a large Republican field. "They have a magnifying glass above them that other candidates don't have,? said Ed Gillespie, a strategist allied with Ohio Rep. John Kasich.

According to Burlingham, the process takes about 45 days after the application is received. "The application will be leaving the university in the next couple of days Burlingham said. The land on the site will be used by the university to start building the "millennium" cam- pus. "We are using the word millen- nium in the sense of new, not the year 2000 Burlingham said. According to Burlingham, the new campus is to feature some high-tech programs that will help in resident and graduate education. There is also the idea to have some residential opportunities for stu- dents and offer summer camps on the land. This is a long-term investment for the university Burlingham said. "It is estimated to be a 30- year project" However, the building on the site will be occupied in the next few months. The city and the county origi- nally wanted to secure the land, but according to Ron Kimble, city manager, when ECU officials men- tioned using the land, they decided not to apply. "We were going to use the main building for a museum and the rest of the land for recreational ser- vices Kimble said. According to Kimble, the takeover would be costly for the city and officials felt ECU needed the land for the expansion of edu- cational purposes.

Time to wonder why Spring Break happens in winter, instead of spring? No, it's time to start think- ing about the 2000 presidential elections. I know, I know, most of you are thinking, "But Grand Master Funk P, I'm just an average college stu- dent who cares nothing about the wild world of politics. I mean, I'm lucky enough if I can make it out of bed in the morning to go to class Yes, well true as that may be, when election day rolls around next year, you, GenX (a.k.a. GenNext, GenN-Sync and GenTinkyWinky) will be able to play a pivotal roll at the ballot booth. Let's start with the potential candidates. In the left comer, wear- ing green trunks made from envi- ronmentally-safe fibers, is Al "I came so close to kicking Bill out" Gore. Now when examining the people vying for the highest office in the land (the second highest is being a model photographer. Hello, nurse!), it is important to look at the special qualities that are needed for the presidency. Like hair, for instance. The vice prez is starting to acquire a bald spot in die back, but he still has his original hair color. This will proba- bly help him pick up some votes on the West Coast. Also he's relatively young, and one of his daughters looksgood, if I remember right. Oh, and he's not a member of that evil party known as the Republicans. They call themselves the "Party of Lincoln Hello! He's been dead for more than 100 years! Can we update already! Theoretically, congressional leaders Dick Gephardt and Tom Daschle might be testing the waters for the White House, but Gore could take them both on with one hand tied behind his back, blindfolded, jumping through a flaming hoop, with a man-eat- ingsorry, got carried away there. The current Republican front runners appear to be Texas Gov. George W. (the W stands for "Won thanks to my name") Bush and Elizabeth Dole. Now Georgie-boy knows how to campaign well, and he received a large percentage of the Hispanic vote in his last elec- tion, a vote which usually goes to the democrats. Both he and Gore are sons of successful politicians (not that anyone needs reminding here but, and I'm looking in the freshmen's general direction, George Bush was president before Clinton. You know, when Vanilla Ice was cool). Gov. Bush also looks good (I guess), so that won't hurt him at the polls. But ladies, don't be fooled. He has the heart of a snake and has left the toilet seat up on numerous occasions (okay, I can't prove that, but then I don't have to). Mrs. Dole is an intelligent, kind lady from a small town in North Carolina (translate small town as "I forgot where she was from"). She was the president of the American Red Cross and knows how Washington, D.C. works. But, she has never touched an elected polit- ical office before (well, I suppose when she touches her husband, she is touching a former senator, but I don't need that picture in my mind. Sorry, Bob). She's just another Ross Perot, except for being sane, and Colin Powell, except for being, a woman. Of course there is the attraction of voting for the first woman president, but sex should play no part in voting (everyone stop laughing). Of course, Libby hasn't even officially announced that she's running, yet. But I'll tell you something, if the Republicans nominate her as their presidential candidate, you will be able to knock me over with an ECU One Card, I will also take back half the bad things I have ever said about the GOP. Well, maybe a quarter. So I hope I have been able to shed a little light on the next presi- dential election. For those of you wondering why you should care about the 2000 race, remember this: A person who doesn't vote is automatically placed on the list for jury duty. Everyone thinks that it's the other way around, but's that's exactly what "they" want you to think. Muhahaha! ljEtE AIA0WED IN SCHOOLS. lit f IHfc K coot vJffH �.

There is a huge misconception that all ECU students do is party. Admit it, how many of you came to ECU because of the unbeatable party-school reputation? When compared to N.C. State and UNC-G, we don't look too shabby in the academic department We even have more freshmen coming back for a second year than both of those schools. Why don't we hear about how much the students who failed out of those schools party? Furthermore, while ECU's bar scene is definitely pumping, N.C. State has more bars around their campus than ECU does. For some reason, even though we are getting our work done and walking out with diplomas in hand to join the ranks of industries like banking, accounting, medicine and education, peo- ple everywhere have something snide to say. So, next time you proudly hail your institution of choice and someone starts to give you that knowing look, blast them back with stats like these: The average GPA of ECU freshman after their first year is 3.0. ECU was named one of the most wired universities in the country. We have achieved doctoral II status and boast over 50 advanced-degree programs including a medical school, not to mention a host of instructors well-known and accomplished in their fields. The point is not that we here at ECU are academic gods that can juggle everything more efficiently than students at other universities, but more that we and our institution are beyond OPINION Marvelle Sullivan Communication key to relations Men are more likely to start the conversation, talk the most, try to be rigit, and then have the last word. In our society, communication is an individual's venue to both express- ing and receiving thoughts. Although this relatively simplistic attitude toward communication theory seems commonplace, human communication is one of the most complex facets of our lives. In the novel, "A Passage to India E.M. Forstcr writes, "A pause in the wrong place, an inno- tation misunderstood, and a whole conversation went awry Forster was describing how people of dif- ferent cultures through no fault of their own, can completely misun- derstand each other as a result of extremely simple communication differences. This concept is not exclusive to people of different cul- tures though. Every day we all experience the effects of ill communication. What is worse, a lot of the time we proba- bly do not even realize it! Everyone has their own style of communicating an idea or feeling. Individual style along with unique phraseology and obscure usages of euphemisms, makes it a wonder that anyone gets the intended point across. Miscommunication hinders rela- tionships with parents, professors, employers, friends, co-workers, sib- lings, virtually anyone with which you come into contact. Most dis- agreements are essentially the result of a misunderstanding due to misinterpretation of intent or the lack of forthrightness in the first place. Either way, the result is the same. How many times do relation- ships break down or marriages fall apart and in retrospect someone says, "She just doesn't understand me" or "He never told me how he felt"? Communication, or the lack thereof, is at the heart of all such conflict. Most psychologists and sociologists who study communica- tion patterns have come to the con- clusion that males and females express themselves so differently that it can almost be equated to the OPINION Columnist TA difference between two different species. How do you compete with "b1 that? QaH According to those who suppoit this theory, women above all strive; 'n for connection while men strive for1 status through communication. Men are more likely to mil the conversation, talk the most, try to be right, and then have the hat'v' word. Women, on the other hand, " act as receptors to the male Kyle of1 communication by listening, moat likely agreeing, and permitting thc�l imposition of dominance. MafcsjS tend to handle conflict or RU-j ments differently because, to diem life is a quest for dominance so con-1. flict is natural and comfortable, i Women, seeking connection will be deeply bothered by conflict and go to lengths to avoid it or resolve k if; it does occur. This explains why9 women like to "talk about it" andu13 men like to "forget about it Of course, there are exceptions to these generalizations, but the described patterns ring one for' most. Since there is no way to change people's communication style, the best way to avoid conflict' K and understand others is to be aware of the differences that exist J and then go from there. 3131 tisd T3J Stephen Kleinschmit Don't throw caution to the wind I'm sure Mexican jails aren't any more decorative than their American counterparts. Ah, Spring Break approaches! It's that time again when we pull out that old dusty Travel Mate luggage set and pack up half our belongings and head south. Personally, I have to go (gasp) home for two days before I go up to Virginia and party like a rock star, but many of you are headed to the beaches of Cancun. Here's a couple reasons why I will not go to Mexico. To begin with, you are in a for- eign country. They have different customs, laws and traditions. I am sure that I would probably end up breaking at least one of these. And I'm sure Mexican jails aren't any more decorative than their American counterparts. Next, I try to avoid countries where political uprisings and assas- sinations occur. Occasionally, armed rebels have been known to take over parts of the country, and I would not like being a hostage. I know a couple ladies from several schools who were attacked by cab drivers who try to take advantage of attractive, young, intoxicated col- lege girls . Also, a few years ago, Mexican bandits kidnapped and murdered American Spring Breakers on South Padre Island. Not exactly the safe party atmos- phere that I would like. Finally, there's the food and water. The water and sanitation TA systems are notoriously bad Many areas surrounding huge dries have thousands of people living in . squalid living conditions. If you drink the water, you will most like- ly get Montezuma's Revenge Some area restaurants even serve !oni field rats as dinner entrees. For all the rest of ya'H with' other destinations, please don't ' drink and drive. If you must, wear a . condom. And for Pete's sake, use common sense. For example, don't be the Panama City Spring Breaker who dies from a fall from jumping to and from hotel balconies. I would really hate to see the headline of this newspaper start "ECU students injuredkilled while t�i-� onies. I the next start off: severely!

I Jazz studies graduate student, Waughn Ambrose, has achieved his dreams through hard work and �determination. This Jacksonville, JNC native has been asked to fulfill Ian opportunity that most musically �talented individuals would envy.

Parker, who is now the assis- tant principal at Thurgood Marshall High School in Maryland, contact- ed Dashiell in need of a music edu- cation teacher. Ambrose immedi- ately came to Dashiell's mind. According to Dashiell, Ambrose was his first choice because of his determination which helped him accomplish so much thus far and his drive to educate others about music history. George Broussard, one of Ambrose's other influential instructors said Ambrose possesses the leadership qualities and self- control that are needed to pursue a career as an educator. "In situations where Vaughn needed to be level-headed and pro- fessional, he displayed these char- acteristics quite well Broussard said.

Probably someone who is young, intelligent, enjoys going out and having fun and looks a lot like you. What you don't see is someone who is infect- ed with a deadly disease. Think you don't have anything to worry about? It is estimated that one in every 500 college students is infected with HIV. The number of women who contract HIV through heterosexual contact is steadily increasing, and close to 70 percent of all new AIDS cases in North Carolina are seen in people ages 20- 39. Chances are you fall into at least one of those categories. Here are some other statistics you might not be aware of. Compared to surrounding states, North Carolina continues to have the highest number of new HIV infections, but the lowest rate of AIDS cases per 100,000 people. There is also an important link between sexually transmitted dis- eases, HIV and AIDS. A person who already has an STD and is exposed to HIV through sexual contact is five times more likely to contract the virus. As the number of cases contin- ues to grow, so does the amount of money that the taxpayers and the government have to spend on treat- ment and care. Last year, the state spent over $70 million dollars treat- ing people with HIV and AIDS. Cliff Seagroves, an ECU alumni who works with the N.C. Department of Epidemiology AIDS Care Branch, realizes that students should be especially con- cerned. "I think it's important for all young adults, and especially ECU students, to understand the issues surrounding this virus that could directly affect their lives Seagroves said. "One doesn't have to be a homosexual or a drug user to be infected by this virus. For exam- ple, the South has the highest pop- ulation of people living with AIDS Pitt County also has been dra- matically impacted by HIV. It cur- rently has the highest number of AIDS cases per capita in the state, most of whom seek treatment at Pitt County Hospital. Out of every 1000 people in the county, 220 are infected with HIV and 200 have developed AIDS. "Contrary to popular beliefs, this virus is not an urban disease Seagroves said. "12 eastern North Carolina counties accounted for 20 percent of the new AIDS cases, but these counties only account for about 12 percent of the total popu- lation As a response to the increase in our area, organizations such as PICASO have formed to provide support and outreach to those who are infected with the virus. They provide a valuable resource to those who are infected and in need of support services. Zach Siler, an RA in Fleming, brought PICASO representative Berry Elmore to Cotten Hall recently to inform students about the severity of STDs and AIDS. "Elmore spoke to students about STDs, how they are contract- ed and contraceptives Siler said. "He also brought one of his patients who is infected with HIV According to Siler, having a per- son attend who is living with the virus brought the AIDS issue to a more personal level and opened the students' eyes. "It's definitely a problem that should be addressed Siler said. "I would like to make PICASO an annual program in the residence halls ECU has also been forced to acknowledge the threat of HIV on campus. Last semester, they began offering tree HIV wnng ar the Student Health Services. "Student Health instituted its testing as a response to the demands of students said Heather Zophy, a health educator at SHS. "They felt that it was important that this service be offered on campus According to Zophy, the response has been very positive. There has been a steady flow of testing since the fall, and stu- dents have expressed their appreci- ation for the services that the SHS provides Zophy said. You are at risk for HIV and should be tested if you have engaged in any type of unprotected sex, shared drug needles or syringes, have ever been infected with a sexually transmitted disease, or have ever been sexually assauJo ed. Any student who wants to be tested can call SHS to make an appointment. Counselors will dis- cuss the results of your test with you, and help you to interpret djj� results. "We encourage abstinence as the best way to prevent HIV infec- tion, and we are trying to make stu- dents realize that the danger is real�even at ECU Zophy said. 9 Thundiy, 4f- ft ITIwidlv.

According to Bair, there are two , types of students that he encoun- U ters�those with a lot of talent and little discipline and those with a lot of discipline and very little talent. . "His combination of talent and discipline makes him more than ' ready to take on this position Bair said. "He is also very informed about the tradition of jazz music and the major influences to the style, which makes him a perfect candidate as an educator "Middle school is the perfect place to start music education and I feel that I can open up different avenues and genres for them Ambrose said. "I feel that the jazz faculty has given me a firm founda- tion to go out and make an impact in the world of music Ambrose credits much of his accomplishments to the music staff here at ECU and his story is an excellent example of the way that students and teachers influence each other. Ambrose hopes to influ- ence the middle school students just as he was encouraged and influenced by his professors. Ambrose and Dashiell met at band camp while Ambrose was attending White Oak High School in Jacksonville, NC. Dashiell recog- nized Ambrose's hidden musical talents which didn't surface until he made the transition from French horn to saxophone. Ambrose then decided to attend ECU and receive his undergraduate degree in music education. Through Dashiell's encouragement and Ambrose's own determination, he became one of the first freshmen to make the Jazz Ensemble A. "I wouldn't be where I am today without Dashiell's musical guid- ance Ambrose said. Ambrose worked hard and earned a spot as the lead alto player for the Jazz Ensemble. He later fur- thered his accomplishments and achievements as president of the International Association of Jazz Educators Student Chapter. Upon graduation, he decided to continue his education at ECU and receive an additional degree in jazz studies. He has taught saxophone and various jazz history courses as well as conducted the Jazz Ensemble B. Dashiell is very confident that Ambrose's education and talents will pave the way toward a bright future for him. "With his playing ability and teaching skills, he's going to do well Dashiell said. Cockapoo comes to boy's aid dogmewes"purpIe Ueart"for his bravery IeVITTOWN, Pa. (AP) - A 30- fcund cockapoo charged two pit 11s attacking an 11-year-old boy, distracting them so the lacerated toy could scramble to safety in a Itearby house. !l "I thought he was dead said tyito Addesa, owner of Bo, the mighty mite lavished by the neigh- borhood with doggy treats and a Hand-drawn "purple heart" award �ring "bravery and strength under extreme circumstances 9 Falls Township Police Chief Arnie Conoline said the dog deserved the honors. Addesa said Bo, a cocker spaniel-poodle mix, didn't hesitate when he saw the pit bulls, twice his size, attacking 11-year-old John Itewart. As it was, Stewart spent two days at St. Mary Medical Center, where he was treated for arm lacer- ations. Conoline said the boy was walk- ing home from school Feb. 12 when he was attacked by the two dogs, which were owned by John Martell. The attack occurred nearly in front of Addesa's home. The 64- year-old retired chemist said he heard the boy screaming and ran toward the street, with Bo right behind him. "I saw John with a dog holding on to each arm, ripping his arms. Bo came out behind me, ran toward the boy and was attacked by both dogs Addesa said. Another neighbor, Robert Ipry, 36, ran out with a .357 magnum he is licensed to carry. When Addesa was unable to pry one of the pit bulls from Bo's throat, Ipry shot the pit bull in the shoulder. "I think the litde dog deserves a medal Ipry said. "When I got there, one pit bull was just leaving him, the other was running around, and blood was running down his arms. If not for Bo, the pit bull would still be mauling the kid As the dogs chewed deep gashes in Bo's hide, the boy ran for a neighbor's home. "He's okay now, but I thought he was dead that night" Addesa said. "He's got six or seven holes in him the size of my thumb Anton Spiritosanto, Falls Township animal control officer, said the wounded pit bull was euth- anized and the other is still with Manell, who was charged with har- boring a dangerous dog.

Contrary to what you may believe or what values mom and dad instilled in you, many level-headed and pro- fessional individuals utilize these various resources to enhance their sexual relationships. Yes, even mom and dad. According to Phil Harvey, owner and president of Adam and Eve, all types of people are known to have a few hidden secrets such as a vibrator, explicit magazines or sexy lingerie. "We just recently commissioned a survey of a cross-section of adults ages 19-45 Harvey said. "Our results showed that a large majority of adults have used romance enhancers such as mas- sage oils, explicit magazines and sexy lingerie to better their sexu- al relationships Adam and Eve, which is located in Hillsboro, NC is the nation's largest adult oriented mail order distributor. It started out in 1970 as a mail order contraceptive business. The idea came as a result of Harvey's ventures in India where poverty has increased because of a lack of family planning educational pro- grams. Harvey felt that if America was going to aid other countries, then they should improve their own family planning practices. He returned to the States and received a scholarship to attend the University of North Carolina and majored in family planning administration. Tiffany Maxwell-Smith, who is the spokesperson for Adam and Eve can agree that although many people classify those who buy their products as low-class, the typical customers are within the population of married, mid- dle-class individuals with kids and a house in the suburbs. "About 80 percent of our cus- tomers are men and an astound- ing 20 percent of our customers are women said Smith. Their products lie geared tovard enhancing the romance in sexual relationships rather than selling sexually explicit material that degrades sex. "Because of the controversial nature of what we sell, Adam'and Eve has gone to great lengths to have everything screened by fero- fessional sex therapists who omit any degrading, violent or negative content Harvey said. One local business here in Greenville that sells romance' enhancers is Lori's Intimate Apparel which is located in ' Arlington Square Shopping Center on Red Banks Road. The atmosphere that is created in the store is very welcoming and isn't designed to make even the most modest individual feel inade- quate or out of place.

During this time, the two have posted an overall record of 273 wins and only 114 losses. Rose has also helped 35 Pirate divers reach the finals of the CAA Championship and five others qualify for the NCAA regional tournament. According to Kobe, there are many things he will miss about Rose, but he will especially remember Rose's positive attitude. "He has a great sense of humor and is a great story-teller Kobe said. "It's been great working together and we are really good friends In 1979, after working as the gymnastics coach at South East Missouri State for three years, Rose moved to Greenville. Upon his arrival he took over the coaching duties for women's gymnastics and men's tennis. Two years later, women's gymnastics was canceled and Rose was approached concern- ing the diving coach position. According to Rose, diving and gymnastics are closely related and diving is merely gymnastics into the water. Although his smile and sense of humor make an impression on most everyone who works with Rose, many of his athletes will remember his persistence and toughness. According to sopho- more diver John Bishop, Rose tries to teach all of his athletes to have confidence in themselves and strive to reach their full potential. "I never dove before, so coach Rose taught me everything I know Bishop said. "He believes everyone can be successful and if he sees someone slacking, he does- n't take too kindly to that Rose labels himself a tough coach. He believes you have to be tough to get the most out of your athletes. He says you must be demanding and the satisfaction a coach receives from his athletes' success is something he will miss.

"They arc regular student tickets and they are first come, first served said Mark Wharton, Assistant Pirate Club Director.

The job was opened when Joe Dooley, head coach since 1995, stepped down last week. Chancellor Eakin began the meeting with a brief statement on the issues that were and were not to be addressed. The first and main concern was the establishment of a committee that would conclusively narrow down a broad group of indi- viduals to one final coach. "We would hope that this com- mittee would be formed quickly so that they could go about the busi- ness of conducting a national search so that ECU might be able to hire the best talent available for their basketball coach said Eakin. Hamrick then took the floor answering the most important ques- tion being asked: just who is going to be on the committee and who are we looking for as our coach? Using the same method during the hiring of the current baseball, women's basketball, and men's soc- "We would hope that this com- mittee would be formed quickly so that they could go about the business Chancellor Eakin Board of Trustees oer coaches, Hamrick proposed to the board a list of potential members of the committee who he felt would well represent all aspects of the cam- pus. Included on the list were three trustees, one current player selected by team members, George Kooncc, a former ECU athlete and alumni; one faculty member; Diane Murphrey, the Pirate Club execu- tive president; and one other alum- ni. "In any kind of search, you have to be open in your public body. You have to basically advertise that your position is open and you have to afford the opportunity to everyone whatever experience level it may be said Phil Dixon, trustee. "The search committee screens those peo- ple and brings it down to a more workable number where you might focus your energy and work onto one group There was no mention of specific names that had shown interest in the position or talk of the amount of salary they would be presented with. However, it was said that the athlet- ic department was basically willing to provide whatever it would take. "I think that our salary has to be at the top range of the conference that we play in said Hamrick.

The women sent tHrower Michelle Clayton and triple jumper Toni Kilgore to the NCAA Indoor Championships in Indianapolis. Clayton threw her way into the championship round where she fin- ished 13th out of 18 competitors with a throw of 59 feet. In Saturday's triple jump Kilgore posted a jump of 38' 10 12" on her first jump. She fell on her second jump and twist- ed her leg on the third, thus failing to make the finals.

"That role of a pushy coach is not always Mr. Nice Guy. You don't always win the popularity contest, but that's not what I get paid for According to Henry VanSant, associate athletic director, Rose has been a loyal employee and has done great work with ECU divers. VanSant added, the athletic depart- ment hates to lose a good coach like Rose and officials are in the preliminary steps of finding a replacement, but a full-blown search has not begun. "Remuneration is a feather in his cap VanSant said.

(AP)�A child- hood friend of Joe DiMaggio says he was tempted to contact Joltin' Joe back in 1990 when the friend began playing senior softball in his 70s, a game the pair played as kids. "I was going to tell him, 'Hey Joe, you're retired but I'm still play- ing ball said Tony Scafani. "I think he would have gotten a kick out of that" ' Scafani, 85, learned softball alongside DiMaggio back in the North Beach neighborhood of San Francisco in the 1920s. "Joe lived right around the cor- ner from me said Scafani, a retired Medford School District superin- tendent. "We played ball together a lot back then. Of course, he was a much better ballplayer than I was. "We weren't buddies, but we were friends he added. "We talked, that sort of thing. He wasn't a celebrity back then Scafani has a June 2, 1938, copy of a magazine with a black-and- white photograph of DiMaggio playing accordion while several childhood chums, including Scafani, clowning around in the background. "This is me Scafani said, pointing to the young man at DiMaggio's right shoulder. "That's the old gang from the neighbor- hood. "Back then, he was holding out for $40,000 he added. "He was back in the neighborhood because it is thought to cause dehydration and weight gain as a short term effect. It is also thought to possibly cause some severe cramping due to dehydration. All of this information has some athletes weary of Creatine use. "I have used it before said Travis Thompson, a senior pitcher for the Pirates, "but not knowing the long term effects, I think I would rather be natural Thompson also thinks the drug is effective. "I'd say my bench press went up 30 pounds in three weeks Thompson said. Sports trainer Mike Henley said that "Creatine is there for the ath- lete, but these kids have to watch how much they take and their fluid intake None of the athletes are pushed either way when dealing with the use of Creatine. The football pro- gram has more need for it, so natu- rally uses more. "We don't tell an athlete to use or not use, we just make it avail- able. I do, however strongly believe that it works and that it is very effective Connors said. he wasn't playing ball then. He was with the Yankees but he was hold- ing out for more money Scafani was reared just around the comer from the DiMaggio fam- ily. They both attended Galileo High School. "I hate to say it�Joe wasn't the greatest guy about going to school Scafani said. "But he was a great player. He had a good arm, he could hit and he was a good fielder. There wasn't anything he couldn't do Scafani, who played second base in college and then semi-pro ball, became a teacher, then a school administrator. He retired as the Phoenix-Talent School District superintendent in 1978. Although DiMaggio wasn't as serious as he could have been about school, he was serious about baseball even as a youngster, Scafani said. Scafani still has newspaper clip- pings from 1929 when North Beach smashed the Michelangelo club, 19-9. Third baseman DiMaggio hit three out of four times at bat; first baseman Scafani was three out of six. "That was just sandlot ball he said. "It was a recreation league that all the ballplayers in the neigh- borhood played on. We were in junior high back then But even then, DiMaggio stood out from the rest. Scafani recalled a field they played on where an out- field wall separated the field from a playground for youngsters. 2K.

Now he's baseball's highest-paid reliever. The San Diego Padres closer agreed to a $32 million, four-year contract extension through 2003, the Associated Press learned. The deal, which is the largest in club history, reversed an exodus of Padres stars since the World Series. Hoffman's extension includes a $10 million club option for 2004 which, if exercised, would make the deal worth $40 million over five years. The Padres can buy out the option year for $2 million. For the first time ever, the team has granted a no-trade clause. Either way, Hoffman, the pre- mier closer in baseball last year with 53 saves in 54 chances, gets what he wanted�an $8 million average annual salary. His last two deals have been at the so-called San Diego discount, and Hoffman, who wanted to remain with the Padres, made it clear that a new deal would be on his terms. He set a deadline of opening day for completing an extension. The Padres now have the two relievers with the highest average annual salaries in baseball. Randy Myers is owed $6 million this year in the middle year of an $18 mil- lion, three-year deal he signed in November 1997 with Toronto. Acquired Aug. 6, Myers was ineffective and has been on the trading-block, but the Padres would have to eat some of his salary in any potential deal. Hoffman, 31, will be paid $4.1 million in 1999, the final year of an $8.4 million, three-year extension he signed in August 19. The largest previous deal in Padres history was the $15.5 mil- lion, three-year contract given to left-hander Sterling Hitchcock, the SEE HOFFMAN PACE 14 .it IK I � Mr .12 j raj ica Crown Jewels of the &.

General manager Kevin Towers, who attended the Padres' game against San Francisco at Scottsdale on Monday, wouldn't confirm or deny the deal. A source familiar with the deal, speaking on the con- dition he not be identified, said San Diego planned to announce it today. Hoffman was not at Monday afternoon's game, but said earlier in the day that talks were "moving in the right direction Just a few days ago, Hoffman wondered whether a deal would get done. But talks proceeded at a remarkable clip after Hoffman met this weekend with owner John Moores and club president Larry Lucchino, who were in town for the club's board of directors meeting on Saturday. Hoffman summoned his agent from Florida, and negotia- tions went late into Sunday night. "Really, it's been a lot of K.T. Towers') input in regard to getting stuff started Hoffman said. "I don't know if they want to wait until the end of spring Hoffman's .981 save percentage last year was the best in major league history and his S3 saves tied the NL record. He made the All- Scar team for the first time and was runner-up to Atlanta's Tom Glavine in the NL Cy Young balloting. The Padres were 62-4 in games in which Hoffman pitched. His only blown save came on July 26, when he allowed Moises Alou's first-pitch homer in the ninth. That came one day after he matched Rod Beck's big league record with 41 straight saves, a mark later sur- passed by Boston's Tom Gordon. Retaining the popular reliever is certain to be a hit with the fans, who saw Kevin Brown, Steve Finley and Ken Caminiti leave as free agents, and Greg Vaughn and Joey Hamilton depart via trades. The Padres traded Vaughn in part because of his potential free agent status, and Hoffman feared he might be traded for the same reason. Now he becomes the first player locked up through 2002, when the club is scheduled to move into a new downtown ballpark that was overwhelmingly approved by voters two weeks after the World Series. Even with all the off-season moves, the Padres project a player payroll of about $48 million, a $3 million increase from the figure they opened 1998 at. Uv, HIGH WINDS DELAY START OF WORLD CUP JSIERRA NEVADA, Spain (AP)� C JThe men's and women's downhills " at the World Cup finals in southern .Spain were called off today because pf dangerous high winds on the a course. " The downhills will be held later . In the week, though a time had not r,been determined. Weather fore- -i .casts predicting heavy snowfalls "later in the week had already 'l pushed organizers to reshuffle the " week's schedule and advance both downhills from Wednesday. Two super-G's were also expected to be moved up a day to Wednesday. Despite the schedule changes, a women's night slalom was still set for Friday with men's slalom and women's giant slalom on Saturday, and men's giant slalom Sunday� the closing day. It is not the first time that unpre- dictable weather has affected ski races in this Spanish resort. Because of poor weather condi- tions during a World Cup final in 1993, organizers replaced a men's downhill with a slalom�easier and less dangerous to stage�causing miffed technical skiers to go on strike. Gloomy forecasts in a World Cup in 1994 pushed officials to advance all the women's races without notice. The world championships in 1995 were wiped out altogether because of a lack of snow and held a year later. Brand New Luxury Apartments TV j. Pirate.

PERSONALS THE CARD Post Report 317 Tip Top Inn. The extent of the suicide cri- sis is most complex to measure. Ac- tive suicides (guns, trains, pills, etc.) are challenge enough to accu- rately count. Passive suicides (as when one stops trying, they start dy- ing) are the greatest challenge to count. Recognizing the 'active' may be the tip of the iceberg The Card Post will continue to promote the 'forum' as the foundation of educa- tion to progress in addressing this ur- gent matter.

Miccah Smith Fountainhead Editor Its Spring Break time again, time to jet off to some sunny beach far away, look for a summer job, hang out with the parental units, or work on piled-up assignments. A lot of students take this gold- en opportunity to flail around in a week-long drunken stupor. But if you've got nothing planned in particular, a little money and a sense of adventure, North Carolina can be a great place to explore. Most students have lived here all our lives, rarely taking advantage of the cultural and natural resources just a couple of hours'drive away. To the west lie ancient mountains that students take for granted when driving up to visit friends at Appalachian State or Western Carolina. These mountains are home to folk arts, pristine waterfalls, fishing spots, rapids and, of course, Cherokee. If roughing it is your idea of a good time, the Blue Ridge Parkway is a great place to start searching for highland adventure. Dr. James Kirkland of ECU's North Carolina Studies program says that the Moses Coit State Park, which is accessible from the parkway, is "a beautiful place to camp Horseback riding and canoeing are just a couple of the activities offered by the park.

As hard as I tried to hate this "girl movie I just couldn't bring myself to dislike it. I know, I know, I'm a wuss, a puss and just an all-around fairy for liking this movie, but 111 tell you what I got a damn big feeling you'd like it too. It's just too, wdTsweet-not to like. Sure, I like a good ol'blood'n guts John Woo movie just like the rest of you, but something a little sentimental is good every now and again. "Shag" is the story of four young, beautiful southern belles who get together and go to Myrtle Beach for one last fling before they all go to col- lege or get married. They're a mixed bag of personalities, ranging from the uptight, mom-like Luanne to the fast and easy Melaina. But on this trip, they're just four sheltered women who want to cut loose, have fun and maybe get up with some guys in the process. The trip starts off with a bang; they each tell their parents that they're going to Fort Sumter to take tours and learn about colonial households. Being the typical all-believing par- ents they are, they applaud their chil- dren's desire to learn about their her- itage. So the girls head off the the "Grand Strand" to have the time of their lives. Upon their arrival, they meet the movie's main male characters: Buzz, who falls in love with one of the girls, and Dale, who digs an absolutely adorable girl named Pudge. The girls don't like them at first but soon find out that they have more in common than they really thought. I just can't get over the pure cuteness of this movie. Eve ry thing about it had me kicking myself in the rear for actually liking it, but it really is a fun movie. From the gorgeous Melaina dancing and singing "Dixiewhile wearing nothing but a string bikini and a confederate flag to Pudge win- ning the shag contest, it's truly a story for everyone. And what would a movie entitled "Shag" be without dancing? The actors dance like there ain't no tomorrow and have a blast the whole time. With the band singing old stan- dards like "Sixty Minute Man they danced their little southern hearts out If you really want to see a good movie,check this one out. It's defi- nitely worth the time and money. Girls, rent it and make your boyfriend watch it; I know they'll like it. And meanwhile, maybe I'll go and take some shag lessons so I can keep up with all my friends. Oh, and one last message for the guys: trust me, if you can shag, you can guarantee yourself a phone number when you go downtown. Amy LRoyster Editor in Chief Amanda G.

If not,I suggest you go out and purchase All for Nothing Nothing for Ml, the greatest hits of the best punk rock band of the 80s. Those guys were everything that I think Rock'n Roll should be: loud, obnoxious and against everything society stands for. But in 1991, the lead singerguitarist Paul Westerbeig mentioned to his band mates that he would like to try a solo album. So, instead of working things out, the rest of the band decided to "help him quit" The back-up players moved onto smaller bands or started families, but Paul still wanted to do the solo thing. In 1993, he gave us his very own album titled 14 Songs. He followed up two years later with his second effort, Eventually, which was moving more and more toward aduh contemporary pop. Some peo- ple might say that he was a horse with a broken leg. Well, those people need to go out and buy Suicane Gratifaction, the revolutionary new solo album. Don't ask me what the title meanscause I don't got no due. The only thing I'm sure of is that sometimes, growing up is a good thing. This album finds Westerbeig in a surprisingly intro- spectivc and confessional mood. While the Replacements were known to wear their heart on their sleeve, Westerberg is willing to hand- deliver it to you. The record begins with "It's a Wonderful Lie a downbeat acoustic See Cd Review, continued on page 7 you an organ & tissue donor? Ask your family today, and let them know your decision, too.

Share your decision?" o COALITION , o Band Review Better Than Ezra rods live Patrick McMahon StaffWriter As tar as concerts go, it can be hit or miss when it comes to the show's quality. The guys could be tired and don't really fed like being out there or they can come out and put on one of the best shows imaginable. Lucky for the fans out at the Attic, Better Than Ezra came out swinging and blew the crowd away. The people in atten- dance had a due that it was gonna be a fun night when a big-headed alien walked out on stage, lit candles and eventually summoned out the band, who jumped right into the set. But before 1 start reviewing Ezra though, I have to mention the open- ing act, Train, which hails from San Francisco. These guys left me in absolute awe. Each band member was a natural up on stage and they looked like they loved what they were doing. They had already played a song when 1 got into the club and at first I noticed that there weren't a whole lot of people in the back. 1 looked around and all I saw were a few people getting the big white bar- becue cups full of Busch Light in the back. But when I turned the comer, it hit me. The reason why there was- n't anybody in the back (except for thai weird 99X sticker guy) is because they were all up front and jamming to Train. Half-Blind Melon (they had great songs too, you know) half-Led Zeppelin and half pure adrenaline, these guys are going to be nothing short of huge. Look for an upcoming CD review right here in the Fountainhead of their new self- tilled album coming up in a few weeks. And on the eighth day, God created um, wait a minute, there is no eighth day. Wdl on Man 2, Better Than Ezra created something truly speciaL They came on stage laughing and smiling and just had fun the entire time. Some of the fans around me though that they could have been a little more professional about it, but I thought they were just up there entertaining the fens and having a Em brought G-g� u iti htt Itime. Ill have to admit, I am not really an Ezra fen and didn't know how to approach the show from a reviewing standpoint But all musical feelings aside, the show was absolutely kick- ass. Each song was a solid effort and played with excellent precision. I almost pooped in my britches when they covered LL Cool 'Because I I.ove You" from, like, 1986. A down- side of the show was that they cov- ered way too many songs; some- where between six or seven. Some worked (like the cover of Prince's "Purple Rain) and some didn't (that Chumbawomba song). Long song interludes provided the band with rest but also let them have fun with the crowd. Using a sampler, they incorporated people's voices from the crowd and blended them id) together to make one hdl of a jam. That was definitely the highlight of the show. As much as I'm not realty into their kind of rode I have to give credit where the credit is due. Theycap- tured the crowd's attention like few bands can. As long as I live I will never forget seeing a 45-year-old, overweight and balding man singing Maybe we do need radio rock after all. It gives us something to sing along with in the car and then we can go back to our Chris Duarte albums at home. Let me go ahead and apologize to my editor for putting this in, but I have to thank the new friends I made at the Attic who treated me great: the band manager of Train, Carol Ann Eastwood for a shoulder to lean on, the guy who bought me a beer, I mean dub soda, because he sneezed on my notepad, and Chris for letting me hold his spot And one final message for all you fans, or at least fens of a good show, make sure you catch Better Than Ezra whenever you can. It is weO worth the money. SURGE battles for glory Becky Charny StaffWriter I)o you get your kicks playing video and computer games? If so, then you should be part of the S.U.R.G.E. computer multi-player game dub on campus. The club is fairly new; this is its second semester in existence. Members congregate at 7 p.m. on Friday nights in the White Hall com- puter lab on west campus. Everyone is welcome to come and compete in various games like "QuakeQuake 2PostalNF53 "StarcraftrXvTTAoE" and "Half- Life just to name a few. Competition occurs between other colleges and dub members. In the past S.U.R.G.E. has partidpated in inter- collegiate games with Auburn. University. Michigan University should be hopping on the bandwag- on with their own club in the near future. Members enjoy the setting of friend- ly competition and sharing of game strategies. S.U.R.G.E. is a social club where people share a hobby as a group. As member Richard Miller put itrt serves as a chance to combine team- work, competition and adrenaline all in one. What more could you ask for on a Friday night than to go in with a dose-knit team, hunt down fellow players and take home the trophy, all in a night's play?" Others see it as a way to take a break from academics, hang out, and have fun meeting new people. "It's great! What better way can you think of to relieve stress but blasting your friends into a mil- lion electrons?" asked a member who prefers to be called "Driver? Increasing importance of comput- ers in the 21st century leads to a society that should be educated in their use. One of S.U.R.G.E.S main objectives, according to the char- ter, is using the "exposure and motivational factors of various games to lead to increased interac- tion with computers; and thus build- ing further understanding of com- puters and computer mediated com- munication S.U.R.G.E does this while breaking the isolation of playing just one game, and the isolation of people that is often associated with comput- ers.

MomcReww "8mm" not a date movie RyanKennemur Movie Reviewer "8 MM" There is another world, ami it exists just below the surface of our own. Down there, people wear dark colored clothing and trench coats, and pay for sexua! gratification. The big difference between here arid there, however, is the fact that sometimes the sex part involves violence, and even death. This is the case in the newest suspense thriller out of HoUywood8rnmThe story goes that Tom Welles (Nicolas Cage) is hired by a rich widow to find out if the reel of film she found in her late husband's safe depicting a young gufs murder is a genuine article. This type of film is affectionately called a "snuff" film, and as far as anyone knows, there's never been a case to prove its existence. This sends him away from his family for a few months and into the underbelly of the world spoken of in the preceding paragraph: the pom industry. His voyage begins with finding the girks picture at the "missing person resource building Once he finds apt ture match, our frowning hero embarks on a journey through the grimiest places in the country. Net CototU inovtr his btai Interestingly enough, all of these places look alike. Along the way, he meets up with adult bookstore clerk Max, played by Joaquin Phoenix who looks like Dawson's Creek's Pacey with multi-colored hair and death metal clothes. Together, they embark on a journey of perversion unlike any they have ever seen. "8mnf is a enjoyable roller coaster ride, but it's not for the weak-stom- ached. It shows the murderer hacking up the little girl, as well as many scenes that include bondage and rough sex. I guess this movie was made to show that perversions exist in everyone. You just have to be introduced to realize that they are there. Like Max says, "When you dance with the devil, the devil doesn't change. He changes you This is what happens to Tom WeDes, and by the end we see what he has teamed through his dispensing with the bad guys. The acting in the movie is pretty well- done, but Nick Cage could have done more with the emotions of the charac- ter. We're expecting to see what his character is going through, but all we have to show us this are a few frowns and a final scene in which he cries in his wife's lap. Catherine Keener, who plays his wife, is limited to two-minute scenes, which occur almost always on the telephone. This gets repetitive quickly. Only when James Gandolfini (from HBOsThe Sopranos") is onscreen does the scenery begin to get chewed up. He is an incredible actor with "better late than never" potential and he gives the movie a much needed over- the-top villain. The story is by the same writer as "SeverC and it shows in every nook and cranny. The film deals with the exploration of one's own morality, just as "Seven" did. It seems like someone couki make a heck of a living writing movies like this, so I won" t be sur- prised when then next movie like this comes out All and all, "8mm" is an entertaining dive too a territory that few people are willing to admit to liking. Make no mistake. This is not a kid movie, as if you had to guess. Also, this is NOT a date movie. Who knows.

"Best Thing That Never Happened "Lookin' Out Forever" and "Final Hurrah" are all "Replacements-lite" rockers that show just how concerned he is with the future and where he stands with it Stuck in between these instant clas- sics is"Born for Me the sweet honey- suckle tune that he wrote for his wife. Just about every song here is a keeper. I even like the acoustic enigma "Actor In The Street just because it incorpo- rates a string section. The best song on the disk, however, is "Whatever Makes You Happy? It best showcases the ideal that Paul Westerberg is trying to embrace: that of thinking and caring about other people and dropping the self-centered indifference that made him such a worthy spokesman for the 80s punk- rock movement I i Apply at the Student publications Building 7ThaAn.lhidin.fi99 �n � ��� �������� at wAA.iee.eu.ediplffcK on the calendar link. esTlTstinajsitflo the event submission form. www.tec.ecu.eduevents into your browser, your event onto our campus calendar.

You're lying in bed trying to sleep because you have a big meeting tomorrow morning. You feel a pounding sensa- tion in your head. At first, you think it's a headache. But then you re- alize that it's music blasting from your neighbor's stereo, rattling your windows. Before you pound on the neighbor's door and yell something you'll regret, try some more constructive al- ternatives. 1. TALK TO YOUR NEIGHBOR Your first step is to talk to your neighbor and try to re- solve your differences in per- son. It's hard to believe, but sometimes neighbors are not aware that they are causing a disturbance. Even if you're ready to punch somebody's lights out, try a little sugar in- stead. 2.GETACOPYOFYOUR LOCAL ORDINANCE Your next step is to get a copy of your local noise laws. Most cities and counties have ordinances that control the times, types and loudness of noise. You can look up your lo- cal ordinance at city hall or the public library. Make at least two copies of it, one for your neighbor and one for yourself. 3. WARN YOUR NEIGHBOR IN WRITING If things don't improve, ask your neighbor again � this time in writing�to quiet down. Don't make threats, but state that if the situation doesn't improve you'll be forced to notify the authori- ties. Enclose a copy of the noise ordinance. Keep a copy of your letter; you'll need it if, as a last resort, you later sue your neighbor. 4. SUGGEST MEDIATION Most cities offer free or low-cost mediation services, which means they provide an impartial mediator who will sit down with you and your neighbor and try to help you resolve your differences. Just call the mediation ser- vice; someone there will con- tact the neighbor and suggest mediation. (These people are very good at convincing oth- ers to give mediation a chance.) 5. CALL THE POLICE If you have done all of the above and your neighbor has responded by turning up the volume, now is the time to call the police (or the Animal Con- trol officer if the problem is a barking dog). Try to get the police to come while the noise is occurring. Of course, you can call the police on a noisy neighbor the first time the music gets too loud for your taste. But the police will be more sympa- thetic to your situation if they see that you have tried to solve the problem on your own. 6. SUE FOR NUISANCE If all else fails, you can get your neighbor's attention� and maybe some money�by suing in small claims court. You can sue your neighbor for nuisance if your neighbor's noise unreasonably interferes with your enjoyment of your property. In the lawsuit, you ask for money to compensate you for the interference with your right to peacefully enjoy your home. Small claims court is easy and inexpensive, and you continued on page 6 Ahoy, Tirates! Don't get stuck on a sinking ship.

You will need to show the following: �There is excessive and disturbing noise. �Your enjoyment of your property is diminished. �You have asked the per- son to stop the noise (your let- ter should be enough to prove this). To prove your case, you can use police reports, wit- nesses, recordings, your own testimony and the testimony of neighbors or other wit- nesses. If you're in an apartment, noisy neighbors are always bad news. But when you share walls with the insensitive neighbor, the problem is es- pecially vexing. The good news for renters is that, in ad- dition to all your other op- tions, you have built-in allies in the battle to keep your apartment livable: your lease or rental agreement and your landlord. Remember the lease or rental agreement you signed? Chances are your neighbor signed one too. Standard leases and rental agreements contain clauses that entitle you to "quiet enjoyment" of your home. A neighbor who is blasting the stereo in an unreasonable manner is probably violating the lease or rental agreement and can be evicted. If you warn your neighbor about the noise in writing, in your letter, tell the neighbor that the next complaint will be to the landlord or neigh- borhood association if the noise continues. If warning your neighbor doesn't work, go to your land- lord. Most tenants don't like to complain to the landlord or manager about unreason- able noise. But other neigh- bors are probably bothered by the noise too. Get together with them and complain to the landlord as a group. It's easier and you might get faster results. Most landlords don't want argu- ments between tenants. Your landlord will probably tell the noisy tenant to pipe down or face eviction. onogement Apartments & Rente House PO Box 873 � 08 Browntea Lwe� Suite A Geefwife, Nwth Caroline 27835-OB73 (252) 758-1921 � FAX (252) 757-7722 Now Preleasing for Fall Semester Langston Park Apartments Wesley Commons South hfej 3 ASK ABOUT SECURITY DEPOSIT K All Apartments Just 5 Blocks from ECU Campus 1 Block from ECU Bus route Two Bedroom Units Ibath Free Water and Sewer Central Heat & Air Dishwasher RefrigeratorStove WasherDryer Hook Ups , Mini-Blinds Deadbolt Locks Each Unit Has a Patio or Balcony Pets Allowed with Pet Fee OneTwo Bedroom Units Ibath Free Water and Sewer Central Heat & Air in 2 Bdrms Wall AC Unit in 1 Bdrms RefrigeratorStove WasherDryer Hook Ups Mini-Blinds Deadbolt Lodes and Hall Closets 1st Floor Patio with Fence 2nd Floor Front or Back patio Pets Allowed with Pet Fee 1 All Apartments Just 5 Blocks from ECU Campus On Site Laundry Facilities On ECU Bus route STRATFORD ARMS "We Focus on You" -1,2 bedroom gardens 3 bedroom gardens 2 bedroom townhouses - swimming pool - basketball court - tennis court - on site laundry facilities -2 playground areas ECU transit stops here - we will furnish upon request security Deposit: $200 1 bedroom $375 2 bedroom gardens $425 2 bedroom townhouses $465 - 3 bedroom $565 office hours: M-F 8-5,S 9-1 1900 S.

APARTMENT D 56l4terrt Watch for these things when renting ERICA FARRIS STUDENT LEGAL LEARNING CENTER UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI Looking for an apartment? You might want to start now and there are things you should know. Many stu- dents start hunting for apartments for the fall as early as spring break. In addition to luxuries like swim- ming pools, dishwashers and micro- waves there are other matters you should consider before signing a lease. Check the apartment's construc- tion, appliances, electrical outlets, lighting, window and door locks, and the general cleanliness and parking. Are there laundry facilities avail- able or close by is there grocery shop- ping or a bus stop? All these things should be consid- ered in addition to the general repu- tation of the landlord for making re- pairs in a timely manner and for re- turning security deposits at the end of the lease. Once you decide on an apartment, you should carefully review the lease. Read it word for word. If you do not understand a provi- sion or do not agree with it, have someone explain it or advise you how to rewrite it in terms agreeable to you and the landlord. If the landlord makes promises re- garding repairs that will be made be- fore you move in or shortly thereaf- ter, get those promises in writing, along with a date they will be com- pleted. If you have roommates, every- body should sign the lease. Remember that the lease is a binding contract. If the term of the lease is for one year, you are bound to its terms for one year. Choose your roommates carefully. You could be paying their rent if they decide to move out. Every roommate signing the lease is legally obligated for the full amount of the rent if another roommate fails to pay. Roommates should have a written agreement with each other, stating who pays what. If a utility is billed in your name, you are respon- sible for the entire bill and must ask reimbursement from your room- mates. Can you afford it? It is highly ad- visable to check your budget before signing the lease, not when you re- ceive an eviction notice or a call from a debt collector. If you have problems with your apartment, there are specific laws andor ordinances that may provide help for you. Check out the local or state laws which may apply in the university or city library.
