Parking and Traffic to update transit system
Department says lack
of spaces not problem
Rachaei. 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.

manager for ECU Parking and
Traffic Services. "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

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.

Safety precautions followed in Clement fire
Each semester
residents conduct drills
James Poe
staff writer
All students living in the residence
halls must perform an evacuation
drill each semester to ensure safety.
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

Louis said.
Each residence hall has evac-
uation plans posted prominently
on every floor and conducts fire
drills to practice fire evacuation
safety. The Department of
Environmental Health inspects
each building on campus annual-
ly to make sure fire alarms are
operational, and the escape
routes
are the quickest and safest
means to safety in case of a fire.

"It is not that we have a shortage

The issue is being able to make
parking convenient for students

"We want to implement the

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.

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

DeMarco denied Adviser surveys now online
rehearing by ESC
Former professor does
not plan to repetition
KmsTY Daniel
SENIOR WHITER
Former ECU professor Sal
Demarco, terminated from the uni-
versity, was denied a rehearing of
his case by the Employment
Security Commission.
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-

Furthermore, students can find the

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.

not only to evaluate their advisers,
but also to help improve academic

"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

ty for students to participate

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.

The activation ceremony of the
ECU ROTC branch was held
Wednesday to formally present the
battalion with its official colors
(flags).
According to Maj. Stuart Jolly,
the ECU ROTC branch was for-
merly pan of the N.C. State
University ROTC branch. During
the activation ceremony, the ECU
ROTC branch became an indepen-
dent organization recognized by
the U.S. Army as a host institute.
The ceremony began at 3 p.m.
with a parade and was followed by
a reception at the Pirate Club in
honor of the new battalion.
In attendance was the 82nd Air
Borne Division Band and ECU's
ROTC higher headquarters from
Ft. Bragg. Members of the B.O.T
and a wide variety of staff and (ac-
uity members also came to the
watch the 82nd Air Borne flags.
Maj. Jolly, who has been with
the ECU branch for more than a
year, said this was a big step for the
ROTC branch at ECU.
"This is a big day for the Army
ROTC here at ECU Jolly said.
"Wc arc becoming our own battal-
ion, which gives us more visibility

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. "They have very pos-
itive names in the Republican

cooperatively to put on the pro-
gram Burlingham said.
To apply for the land, the deed
must go to the Governor and the
Council of State to be considered
for acceptance. 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.

2000 election hoopla commences
It's that time again!
Time to make fun of Pepsi?
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!

When you tell people you go to ECU do they smirk and say something along the lines of
"EZU?" 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

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

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

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

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

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

I With the new age of swing dancing,
jazz music has risen to new heights.
;One ECU student has been given
jithe opportunity to educate others
about the history of this newly
reborn music style.
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.
It all began when Ambrose's

studies, Carroll Dashiell, was con-

tacted by Melvin Parker, the origi-
nal drummer of the James Brown
Band. 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.

When you look at the typical ECU
student, what do you sec? 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.

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

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

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.
Spiritosanto said he will ask at a
hearing that the remaining pit bull
be destroyed.

pinner's life, although you
should be able to separate the
facts from the myths. 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.
"When I first walked into the0
store, I didn't feel uncomfortable
at all said senior Man
Christopher. "My roommate also

University officials think there's
just too much of G. Roger Davis
showing.
The musk professor says the
school violated his constitutional
rights by forbidding him to wear a
thong at the campus swimming
pool.
' G. Roger Davis sued the univer-
sity's board of trustees Monday,
atjting U.S. District Judge Herman
VJJfcer to order the school to let
hlftf wear the swimsuit of his
dtffce.

Davis said he began wearing his
thong in the fall of 19 during his
regular workouts at Miami's
RecwatmttlSports Center pool.
The following October, school
administration banned the skimpy
suit
He said the administration
revoked his paid membership at
the center in December. Davis
claims the dress code wasn't pub-
licly posted.
University administrators hadn't
seen the lawsuit Tuesday and
could not discuss it, said school
spokeswoman Holly Wissing.

departure as the Pirates' diving

Head swim coach Rick Kobe
has worked side by side with Rose
for the last 17 years at ECU.
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

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.

Search begins for head coach
Indoor track season ends
Committee looks to
replace Dooley
Mandy Reutter
staff writer
Monday afternoon, Chancellor
Eakin, the Board of Trustees and
Athletic Director Mike Hamrick,
met to discuss the hiring process of
a new head basketball coach.
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. "We
do feel that we can be competitive,

pushed pretty hard Rose said.
"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. "He has
given lots to the students without
receiving much in return
Rose, a native of Philadelphia,
plans to remain in the city of
Greenville which has been his
home for the last 20 years. His two
children, one a graduate of N.C.
State and the other a Wolfpack
senior, enjoy the Greenville area
along with his wife who now runs
Rose's Gymnastics Training

Childhood friend
recalls DiMaggio
MEDFORD, Ore. (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.

Finishing second to Ingram was
teammate Damon Davis.
"Damon went out too fast. He
had to get a good start but he went
out too fast and that affected him
Carson said.
Freshman Lawrence Ward fin-
ished eighth.
ECU's stable of talented quarter
miters showed their worth again in
the 4x400 relay. Ingram, Davis,
Michael Miller and James
Alexander put together a strong
race and took first place.
In the 500 meters, Lynn Stewart
finished in a time of 1:03.95.
"I didn't do as well as I wanted,
but it's nothing to look down on
Stewart said.
The ECU distance runners also

PEORIA, Ariz. (AP)?Just a few
weeks ago, Trevor Hoffman was
worried that he might be traded.
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

MVP of the NL championship
series, on Jan. 27.
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.

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.

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.

Alright guys, just go ahead and cru-
cify me now. 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.

Westerbeig cool again
Ryan Kennemur
Senior Writer
CDReview
SuicaneGmtifaction
Okay, to fully get the message of this
review, you have to be able to answer
"yes" to the quest ion: "remember the
Replacements?" 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

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.

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. As gamer Andy Vincent said, "It
promotes community among college
students though a hobby?'
There is a discussion list and web
site for interested gamers on
S.U.R.G.ES web site, located at wysi-
wyg-i104httpwww.clubhouse.ecu
.edusurgcinformation.htm.
If you are interested in the discus-
sion list send an email to LIS-
TFJWeECUMAIL7.ECU.EDU
Whatever your reason, be it learning
some new strategies for games,
meeting new people, or just online
computer gaming, S. U. R.G. E. is the
place to be!

Baaba Seth returns to Peasant's Cafe
tonight to hit Greenville with anoth-

Chariottesville, Virginia group fires
an arsenal of African, Reggae and

jazz fusion, backed by a full horn
section and lavish percussion.

Friday
March 12
The Pondering are busy wondering
what Friday's show at Peasant's Cafe
is going to be like. The "funkrock-
groovepop" group based in
Charleston, South Carolina does not
have to ponder on how good they
are due to the enormous fan base
they have gathered as a result of
constant touring in the southeast
What to expect A harmonious
blend of horns, drums, bass, key-
boards, guitars and vocals. Their lat-
est CD, Standing in the Light
Laughing" reflects the "funkrock-
groovepop" nature, and the band is
currently planning a new album
whenever they can get a break from
touring.

"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. HaUway
through it, you may build your confi-
dence up and admit to her fina thing
that you areumfit to be tied
Spring BnHartiniii from PKH 1
Asheville is another popular vacation
spot, and the Bikmore House is a defi-
nite must-see, but Dr. Luanne Jones,
also of the North Carolina Studies
program, urges students not to stop
there.
"If they've only been as for as
Asheville and think they've seen the
mountains, they really haven't she
says.
lb the East, North Carolina's haunted,
legend-soaked coast and Outer Banks
region draw tourists from all over the
country, but Spring Break prices for
lodging should be cheaper than those
in the summer.
Check book listings for bed-and-
breakfast hotels, cozy little joints
where the service is personal and a
home-cooked breakfast comes with
every room. Poke around on a beach
for shells and hang out in oyster bars.

tact with an old friend you've lost
track of
CANCER:
(June 22-July 23)
There may be heavy demands on
you, so try to stick to routine and all
will go well. If you have been clinging

now. Angry words may flare between
yen and another, be cautious.
LEO:

ty to see the big picture will be great-
ly appreciated. Listen to the ideas of
others.
VIRGO:
(August 24-September 23)
If you can grasp an opportunity to
better yourself financially don't pass
it up, the effort is worth it Again, the
extra effort may be needed at work -
go early and stay late. Your under-
standing of the needs of both men
and women helps you mediate gen-
der-based disputes.
LIBRA:

time and energy. Disputes with fami-
ly members can be resolved through
thoughtful discussions. Any business

There are powerful spiritual insights
dominating your inner self.
SAGITTARIUS:
(November 23 - December 21)
It may be time to step back from
current projects to think things out,
to give you a better perspective on
long-term career strategies. It's a
good time to share bright ideas with
receptive colleagues. There seems to
be an old adversary back on the
scene, be cautious and patient.
CAPRICORN:
(December 22 - January 20)
It will be a challenging week, and you
are assertive in getting your ideas
across. A friend will no doubt wel-
come your help, and may be either
combative or irrational, so be patient
with them. But there will also be a
limit to patience, so know when to
say enough is enough.
AQUARIUS:
(January 21-February 19)
Your health is in question during the
week. Be reassured that there is
nothing wrong with you that more
rest and less stress won't cure, lake
extra time for your mate, and have a
long and loving talk with a loved
one. Your communication skills will
get you through the week's chal-
lenges.
PISCES:
(February 20-March 20)
You may need to talk your ideas out.
Nobody will mind though, because
what you have to say is fascinating.
The work week will start out with
opportunity for monetary gains.
There are differences of opinion
which may threaten a friendship;
resolve them now.
IF THIS WEEK IS
YOUR BIRTHDAY:
You are highly attuned to your own
emotions and those of others. When
in love, you emerge with your lover
with all your heart, mind and soul
Your friends know you will be the
first to join their celebrations, and
the last to leave when trouble strikes.

ballad that foreshadows the tone of
the album by employing lyrics like,
"How am I looking, I don't want the
truthWhat am I doing, I airft in my
youthI'm past my prime, or was that
justapose?"
Then comes the piano-driven ballad
"Self- Defense a ditty that is easy to
pass off as just background music to
play while you drive around in the
rain. But lines like, "It's wrong to com-
mit suicide, unless it's in self-defense"
really make the gears turn. This is the
voice of a man who has been to Hell
and back, and it's "story time" in Mr.
Westerbergs class.
The next few songs all deal with
theme of desperation. "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

1999 HOUSING GUIDE
Get neighbors to turn down the loud noise
CORA JORDAN
It's 2 in the morning.
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

NOISE
continued from page 3
don't need a lawyer. 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.

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.
