Stephen Schramm
sports editor
Bill Herrion, former head coach at
Drexel University, was introduced
as ECU's new head basketball
coach Tuesday.
Herrion will become the 20th
basketball coach in ECU history.
He replaces Joe Dooley who
stepped down earlier this year after
four seasons.
"Four weeks ago, wc decided to
go in a different direction. Four
weeks later, we got just what we
wanted. We wanted a head coach
who has had big time success. We
wanted a coach who's style people
would want to see. We wanted
someone who could rally the troops
and get this program to the top of
the CM and the top of the
NCAA said Mike Hamrick, ECU
Athletic Director.
Herrion was the head coach at
Philadelphia's Drexel University
for the past eight seasons. At
Drexel, Herrion went 121-32.
Herrion's .791 winning percentage
ranks him 15th among active coach-
es.
"I'm not a win at all costs coach.
I want to have good people in this
program and take a lot of pride in
developing these guys as people
Herrion said.

Herrion takes over a program
that went 13-14 during the 1998-99
season.
"I can't guarantee wins and loss-
es right now. But what I can guaran-
tee is a basketball team that will
play hard and compete hard
Herrion said.
Herrion agreed to a five year
deal with a base salary of $130,000.
During his eight years at Drexel,
Herrion led the Dragons to seven
winning seasons, five conference
championships and three trips to
the NCAA Tournament. Herrion
was also named Coach of the Year
four rimes.
The highlight of his tenure at
Drexel came in 19, when his
Dragons upset Memphis in the first
round of the NCAA Tournament.
ECU students are excited about
the new coach.

According to the Federal Bureau
?of Investigation, domestic vio-
lence is the establishment of con-
trol and fear in a relationship not
only through violence, but also
through intimidation, threats,
psychological abuse and isolation.
Statistics found that women from
19 to 29-years-old were more like-
ly than women of other ages to be
victimized by someone they
know.
Two -thirds of these attacks are
committed by boyfriends, hus-
bands, other family members or
acquaintances.
Domestic violence is the leading
cause of injury to women between
ages 15 and 44 in the United
States, more than car accidents,
muggings, and rapes combined.
"Domestic violence is one of the
number one health risks for
women today and also for the chil-
dren growing up in these homes

Match Day places doctors with schools
Sixty-nine medical

Terra Steinbeiser
STAf P WRITER
Sixty-nine students recently partic-
ipated in Match Day, an annual
event in which ECU medical stu-
dents gather together to find out
where they will spend the next
three to five years in residency
training.
"It's a really big event where
everyone and their families get
together in an auditorium to find
out the news said Roytesa
Rodgers, a medical student.
After students spend four years
in medical school they are eligible
to apply for residency training.
"After interviews at residency
programs throughout the country,
students rank their top ten choices
for programs said Jeannine
Hutson, Information Specialist.
"The programs also rank their
choices for students. Then, a
National Residency Match Program
computer sorts through all the
applicants' and graduate medical
programs' rankings and produces an
impartial matching
This is what is distributed to stu-
dents on Match Day.
There are about 23,000 residen-
cy positions available nationwide.
Besides the US medical students
who compete for these slots, anoth-
er 19,000 "independent" applicants
including former graduates of US
medical schools, US osteopathic
students, and graduates of foreign
medical schools apply for these lim-
ited spaces.
This year, 71 percent of graduat-
ing medical students got into their
top choice for a residency training
program, ECU's highest percentage
ever.
Twenty-four percent of students
placed will remain at ECU and 42
percent will stay in North Carolina
for their residency training
"The residency is just field
training for your particular area
said Karen Gavigan, pediatric med-
ical student, who will be spending
her three year residency at ECU.

Consulting firms
to assess parking
Selection process
in early stages
Amy Wagner
assistant news editor
Parking and Traffic Services, along
with Materials Management have
begun the process of selecting a
consulting firm to discuss the future
of parking at ECU.
Dave Santa Ana, director of
Parking and Traffic Services;
Layton Getsinger, associate vice
chancellor for administration and
finance; Bruce Flye, director of
Facilities Planning and other mem-
bers of the Parking and Traffic
Policy Committee held a confer-
ence on Monday with consultants
representing four firms. The com-
mittee explained the major prob-
lems with current campus parking
and addressed specific desires for
the future so that the consulting
firms can include solutions in their
proposals.
The consultants' request for
proposals must address many
issues wih ECU parking including
medical school parking, fee struc-
ture, charging the Athletic
Department for use of the lots dur-
ing athletic events, private parking,
dealing with the projected increase
in enrollment and locating areas for
new lots. The committee is espe-
cially interested in utilizing current
resources.
"How do wc live with what we
currently have?" Getsinger said.
There are currently two lots that
are not utilized because they are
inconvenient, he said.
The committee wants to find
ways to encourage people's use of
other means of transportation to
campus because parking is current-
ly too congested.
"We have to find out where it is
to decrease the amount of cars cur-
rently on campus Getsinger said.
He believes this can be done by
improving the transit system. He
also mentioned perimeter-based
fees whereas the farther away from
campus you park, the less your
parking sticker costs.
The Parking Policy Committee
said they want to help the entire
campus by receiving input from
everyone. The committee, which
will work as a contact for the select-
ed consultant, is composed of staff,
faculty and students. In addition,
the committee wants to survey the
campus community about current
parking problems.
"When we come up with a final
project, everyone will be exposed to
it Getsinger said.
The Parking and Traffic Policy
Committee wants to examine the
prospective consultants' previous
experience with university parking.
Ruth Davis, a committee member
representing the medical school,
asked the consultants to include
specific examples of their previous
work with medical school parking.
Although the committee is anx-
ious to get the parking renovations
underway, they said they are being
realistic.
"We're not going to be able to
make everyone happy and wc know

According to some experts many
of our four-legged friends are given
up to the humane society and ani-

all together.
In 1998, Greenville Animal

Executive Committee
seats up for vote
Holly Harris
news editor
The SGA will hold its annual exec-
utive committee elections to fill the
offices of president, vice president,
secretary and treasurer on April 7.
Candidates campaigning for
positions include Cliff Webster and
Raymond McGill for president,
Na-im Akbar and John Meriac for
vice president, Overton Harper and
Jason Evans for treasurer and
Jessica Dowdy and Shondell Jones
for secretary.
Students can vote vote from 9
a.m6:30 p.m. at Mendenhall
Student Center, the Student
Recreation Center, Todd Dining
Hall, the Wright Place and Minges
Coliseum. The polls at Wright
Place will remain open until 7 p.m.
Ballot locations will be run by
members of the elections commit-
tee. To vote, students are required
to swipe their One Card to ensure
that each person can only vote
once. Then, voters mark their
selections on a ballot sheet and turn
it in to the attendant.
According to James
Kaltenschnee, the elections com-
mittee chair, this system will
ensure that there will be no oppor-
tunity for unfair ballot collection.
"Because we arc using the One
Card system, I'm not really con-
cerned Kaltenschnee said. "The
people working the polls are not
allowed to endorse anybody, every-
body on the elections committee is
totally unbiased.
Last year, only 1,150 out of the
16,636 enrolled students voted in
last year's election. Despite the fact
that the current student body sur-
passes last year's total,
Kaltenschnee said he expects a
similar turnout next Wednesday.
SGA Chief of Staff Cliff Webster
said he believes the problem is that
students don't know have enough
information to go to the polls.
"I think students care and
would go out and vote if they knew
where Webster said.
Issues that will face the next
executive committee include cam-
pus safety, parking and transit, and
the simplification of funding for
student organizations.

Theta Chi fraternity helped raise
money over the weekend for the
Pitt County Special Olympics by
holding a seesaw fundraiser.
With a goal of $4,000 to reach
this year, the brothers went out
around Greenville collecting
money from local businesses
including the Burger King on the
corner of Red Banks road and
Greenville boulevard where their
fundraiser was held.
"We've been doing this for
about nine years said Eddie
Jappell, chaplain and head of phil-
anthropy for Theta Chi.
In the past they have raised at
least $2,000 a year.
"Over the past five years, Theta
Chi is the largest sponsor we have
raising over $10,000 Dean Foy,
coordinator for the Pitt County
Special Olympics said.
The money that Theta Chi rais-
es helps the Special Olympics in
several ways.
"The money goes to help the
actual set up of games and support
of Special Olympics in North
Carolina, but mainly in Pitt
County Jappell said.
In addition to receiving dona-
tions from local businesses, repre-
sentatives of rhe fraternity also
received pledges of $24 dollars, one
dollar for every hour on the seesaw.
"The community turn-out has
been great; people stopped at the
red lights have been giving us
money and a lot of support Vinnie
Brown, a member of Theta Chi.
Aside from holding a fundraiser,
15 of Theta Chi's brothers will be
volunteering all day at the Special
Olympics helping in various activi-
ties.
The Pitt County Special
Olympics will be held on April 15
at J.H.Rose High School.

Clinton rejects Milosevic's plan
WASHINGTON (AP) -
Slobodan Milosevic could lose
international recognition for his ter-
ritorial claim on Kosovo if the Serbs
don't stop killing the region's ethnic
Albanians, President Clinton said
Tuesday. He rejected a formula for
peace offered by the Yugoslav pres-
ident.
"If there was ever any doubt
about what is at stake in Kosovo,
Mr. Milosevic is certainly erasing it
by his actions Clinton said. "They
are the culmination of more than a
decade of using ethnic and religious
hatred as a justification for uproot-
ing and murdering completely
innocent, peaceful civilians to pave
Mr.
Milosevic's path to absolute
power
The president urged the allies to
remain steadfast in their opposition
to Milosevic on Day 7 of NATO's
air campaign against the Serbs
while the administration promised
neighboring nations financial aid
for the refugees streaming across
their borders and support against
Serb threats.
"There have to be some limits
beyond which we collectively do
not wish to see our country go and
our worid go Clinton said in a
keynote address
Tuesday night to the Electronic
Industries Alliance. While technol-
ogy opens the door for new oppor-
tunity, it also can aid those who
would destroy peace, he said.
"When married together with
the most primitive hatreds, like
those we see manifest in Kosovo
today, the advent of technology and
decentralized decision making and
access to information can be a very
potent but destructive force
Clinton said.
Some success was reported in
diminishing Serb air defenses and
strikes against troops stationed just
outside Kosovo. But a Pentagon
spokesman cautioned
against expecting a quick
"knockout punch and the military
refused to detail the damage
NATO has inflicted on the Serbs.
U.S. policy has opposed inde-
pendence moves in Kosovo and
supported Serbia's claim to the
province. During peace talks this
month in Rambouillet, France, the
Clinton administration supported
autonomy but not independence
for the majority ethnic Albanians
in Kosovo. Milosevic rejected that
plan.
Administration officials insisted
that there had been no policy
change, but during a State
Department ceremony honoring
former Secretary of State Warren
Christopher, Clinton signaled that
the Serbs' actions in Kosovo carried
a price: the loss of international sup-
port for Milosevic's claim on the
region.
"Today he faces the mounting
cost of his continued aggression
Clinton said. "For a sustained peri-
od, we will see that his military will
be seriously diminished, key mili-
tary infrastructure destroyed, the
prospect for international support
for Serbia's claim to Kosovo increas-
ingly jeopardized

Some university officials say they
are concerned that many students
on ECU's campus may not be aware
of the difference between the
responsibilities of Parking and
Traffic Services and the ECU
Police Department. The fact is, it's
all in who writes the parking tickets
and who enforces the laws.
ECU Parking and Traffic

campus, and the four parking con-
trol officers employed by Traffic
Services give out all parking cita-
tions.

been hired in two years said
David Santa Ana, ECU transporta-

Campus is divided into four sec-

patrol on foot and in vehicles from
6:30 a.m12 p.m.
Officers say resident parking is
the most problematic area. Parking
control officer Shirley Bazemore
said that a majority of the 25 to 50
tickets that she gives out a day are
at meters around the dorms.
The ECU Police Department
enforces university regulations and
state laws on campus. Sgt Joseph
C. Horst said that their main focus
is the safety of students, faculty and
staff on campus.
The department educates stu-
dents and staff on safety and securi-
ty practices through a variety of pro-

Forty-five sworn certified police
officers are employed with the

Helms, Edwards clash over nomination
U.S. Sen. John Edwards' advocacy
of a close personal friend for a fed-
eral judgeship has run head-on into
Sen. Jesse Helms, the first major
clash between North Carolina's two
senators since Edwards' election in
November.
Rather than see the slot filled,
Helms wants it moved from the
Eastern District of North Carolina
to the Western District.
Edwards, a Democrat, asked the
White House to nominate IS.
Bankruptcy Judge Rich Leonard to
be a U.S. District Court judge in
Raleigh, and President Clinton
nominated Leonard on Wednesday.
Helms introduced a bill this
month that would transfer the fed-
eral judgeship from the Eastern
District to the Western District.
Helms says the Western District,
with three jtidgeships, has more
pending cases then the Eastern
District, which has four.
"We don't need him said the
Republican senior senator. "We
need one in the Western District
Leonard, 49, has been a federal
bankruptcy judge since 1992 in the
Eastern District of North Carolina,
which stretches from Raleigh to the
coast. Leonard operates from
Wilson.
"He's just infinitely qualified
Edwards said. "He's a fair-minded,
straight-down-the-middle judge.
He's the kind of person you look for
in a judge
I
The Eastern District shouldn't
give up a judge to the Western
District, Edwards' aides Said. They
cite a report last week by the
Judicial Conference of the United
States stating the number of
Eastern District' judges should
remain at four to handle the dis-
trict's caseload. ? ? i
The same report said the
Western District, Which stretches
from Charlotte westward, needs
two more judges. ? I
"This robbing Peter to pay Paul
approach would still leave the peo-
ple of North Carolina without that
kind of access to the courts that
they deserve Mike Briggs,
Edwards' pres's secretary, said.

The companionship and warmth a pet can bring into a person's life can be immeasurable. For
many college students, who are a long way from home, the idea of owning a pet is alluring.
Of course, there are many responsible pet owners. Unfortunately, many others are not at a place
in their lives where they are best prepared to care for a pet. The truth is that most student
lifestyles are not conducive to pet ownership.
As a result, area animal shelters are filled with pets who have been left homeless because of the
irresponsibility or circumstances often of college students.
The life of a college student can be hectic. Living arrangements change year to year and semes-
ter to semester. This uncertain environment is not stable and not always appropriate for pets.
You may get a new roommate who doesn't like pets. You may move somewhere that doesn't
allow pets. You may transfer or get expelled ftom school. Too many variables can make owning a
pet detrimental to the life of the animal.
Even if living arrangements are stable, what happens when pet owners leave for breaks dur-
ing the school year?
Taking care of a pet is a responsibility that is often underestimated by students. Students often
live in cramped apartments with far too little room for animals to run. Many of us barely have
enough money to feed ourselves, much less a pet.
If a student chooses to own a pet, serious thought must be put into the decision. With all of the
strain put on your time by studies and social activities, are you really going to want to take time
to care for a pet?
Planning must be done for the safety of the pet. Is there someone who can take care of the pet
when you go home? If for some reason you cannot keep your pet anymore, is there somebody
else who you know can and will take care of it?
If you do not have easy answers to these questions, a pet might noi be a wise choice.
If a student chooses to own a pet, and is later unable to care for it, the student loses a pet and
the pet could possibly lose its life. Animal shelters can only hold pets for a limited period of time
before the animals are destroyed.
The penalties for irresponsible pet ownership are vastly greater for the animals. If students
want pets there is very little anyone can do to stop them from obtaining one. However, pet own-
ership should be a choice that is well deliberated. Mistreating animals is rarely anyone's intention,
but is often the result of poor planning.

seriously, dude, these guys were

wrong with capitalism. Business are

If America was run by
Communists (though some may
argue that is already is), life would
be like living on a college campus,
and how great would that be?
Everone could cat at the same great
campus restaurants, and we would
all make the same wages as college
studentswhich is a little less than
nil so we are well on our way.
Here is a common Capitalist
doctrine: a man goes into a pawn
shop and purchases a still-sealed
playstation game for twenty dollars
(there would be no playstations in
my perfect communist world, mind
yonplaystations bad!) and then
proceeds to drive to the local Wal-
Mart and return it for thirty crisp
dollars he can use to buy computer
games or hookersnow who would
want to do that? This would never
have happened had Mr. Marx's
ideals been carried out.
If Communism were King, there
would be no thought of getting 12
free CDs from BMG that you don't
want and selling them to CD Alley
for better music.oh no. Don't get
any ideas either because once Y2K

huts again, there will not be any fun

For those of you who never lis-

probably don't recognize the above
snippet from DJ Jazzy Jeff and the
Fresh Prince's song "Parents just

"Capitalism is defined by that

nition of "Cantonese I Imm. I
wonder if they're related somehow.
Capitalism is the foundation
upon which this great nation of ours
(the people of Canton, China) was
built on. To many people, it has
turned into a way of making money
without actually doing any work.
An example of this is going into a
pawn shop and finding something
that purchasing something that
looks new, then taking it to Wal-
Mart and getting the full retail price
for it in cash. How do I feel about
this? In a wordword. This is a
great way to make money, second
only to prostitution. And seeing as
how I was a victim of the Freshman
Forty, that one's out.
Big corporations like Wal-Mart,
K-Mart and Roses are thieves in a
thieves market.These guys (not
the people of Canton, China) are
taking us for every penny that we
earn, and I sec nothing wrong with
the occasional Savings and Loan
scam.
But I have to respect these cor-
porations, even if it's only because
they have nifty logos. But also
because of what they do for the lit-
tle mom and pop places that spring
up in the area. You know, the ones
that open and close in the same
week because they can't compete
with the surrounding chains. Man,
that's awesome. Darwin's Natural
Selection theory really applies here.

BMG and then turning around and;
selling them at a used CD store
Isn't that genius? And also, getting
compromised credit card numbers;
off the internet and using them for
900 numbers (and 10-10 numbers).
We're not stealing so much as "tak-

Canton, China) stole from us. Let's
sec you try to get anything like that
done through the ideal of
Communism. Marx was a Nazi and
Frederich Engels wasn't even

listen to what those weird French
people have to say?

Great Books
Last year, a new minor was created in "Multidisciplinary Studies"
allowing declared majors who have completed 30 s.h. to design
their own minors under the direction of their major advisor.
Students interested in the "Great Books" that have shaped our
present cultures and civilizations can design a minor on this
theme.
Beginning in spring 2000, selected courses with an emphasis on
the great works of literature, philosophy, history, science, social
science ? every discipline ? will carry a special GB designation
in the course catalog. For fall 1999, interested students should
sign up for the first seminar, "An Introduction to the Great Books

Brochures are available listing the specific requirements, contacts,
and courses that will regularly carry the GB designation when they
are offered. The program in Great Books plans to have a web page
up and running soon. In the meantime, send your e-mail or other
address to Professor Rand Evans at rbevans@aol.com to keep
informed of developments and courses to watch for.

To some, dating seriously while
in college is a waste of good qual-

themselves capable of being
completely happy in a relation-
ship. Why do opinions on this
one subject vary so
tremendously?
According to popular opinion,
while you attend college, the
general idea is to "have fun"
which sometimes does not seem
to include juggling a serious rela-
tionship, classes and friends.
With exposure to a variety of
people in school there is occa-
sionally an urge to experiment

How many times have you said, "1

Daily? Twice? Never? Often, we
toss around phrases like this with-
out them ever coming true. But
among the student population at
ECU are many students who have
said this and meant it. Not only do
these couples commit their time to
their schoolwork, but also have to
dealing with the pressures of being
married.
Devotion to a spouse and trying
to make time for school keeps
everyone busy, but overall the
pleasures of being married out-
weigh the negative aspects.
The following three couples all
have unique situations, but face
similar challenges. Kelly Bumpass,
a graduate student who is finishing
his degree, feels that he made the
right decision to get married while
still in school.
"I wouldn't trade it for the
world Bumpass said.
According to Bumpass, he
appreciates the security of having
his wife Dora at home when he gets
in, and the financial security that
his wife's job provides takes pres-
sure off of him as he finishes his
degree.
He also realizes that there are
some drawbacks to balancing his
time.
"Sometimes I can get over-
whelmed with school and work,
and then she feels neglected
Bumpass said. "I basically have to
slow down and try not to do too
much
He advises students who are
thinking about getting married and
going to school at the same time to
carefully consider the additional
responsibilities that married life
will bring. Not only do you have to
consider the impact of your deci-
sions on your own lite, but on your
spouse's as well.
Unlike single ECU students, he
has to think about the future not
just in terms of school, but of long-

range consequences.
"You're living a life outside of
school, at the same time that you
are in school Bumpass said. "You
have to get your priorities straight
to make it work
Other married students face
similar situations. Junior Jeff Ellis
and his wife Roberta have been
married since August and have a
baby girl. They also feel the pres-
sures of balancing home and
school.
Roberta is glad they decided not
to wait until they finished school.
"When you love someone and
are committed to them, you can
work through anything she said.
This way, they don't have to
worry about finding time to see one
another or have to experience the
apprehension of being single and
dating.
One of the keys to their relation-
ship is understanding and support.
Jeff realizes the difficulties Roberta
has in caring for the baby, and
Roberta enrouraees him as he tries
to finish school and support the
family.
Looking back, the decision to
marry and start a family definitely
caused a major change in Jeffs life.
"I really had to grow up
overnight he said.
Jeff decided to put his family
first, even if it meant putting
school lower on his list of priorities.
Even though sometimes it is diffi-
cult, he doesn't give up.
"It's definitely worth it Jeff
said.
Another couple, Don and
Martina Froning, have to deal with
a particularly unique situation.
Don is a graduate student, while
his wife still lives in Hawaii, where
they met. They have been married
for nearly two years, and Don has
been going to school here in
Greenville since the fall. Due to
the separation, he is trying to finish
school as quickly as possible and
resume his life in Hawaii.
"We had always planned for me
to go away to school, but it still
doesn't make the separation any
easier Froning said.
His wife, who works in Hawaii,
only gets to see him about every
two months.
"It's been more of an adjust-
ment for her he said. "I have to
adjust to a new environment, but
she has to get used to me not being

Lindsey Cranston, sophomore.
"And some people look like they
just rolled out of bed
Since students were out for
morning classes, there tended to be
a more conservative style present.
One man followed the standard
style by wearing a Polo shirt, jeans
and boots, following the standard
style.
"A lot of people go for the prep-
py, good-looking look Gutierrez
said.
It appeared that most men just
vary themselves on the basic
theme. One male walking to class
was wearing baggy jeans, a baseball
cap, gold chain, black T-shirt and a
football jersey, while another had
on khaki pants, a T-shirt, fleece
pullover and sunglasses. Sunglasses
appear to be the most common
accessory for hot weather.
"I don't think people try on reg-
istration days. Most people just
dress up on certain days. Of course,
people just go for comfort said
Megan Tathie, junior.
There also appears to be a dress-
down trend on Fridays, possibly

Judge njects claim of cash from God
GLENWOOD SPRINGS, Colo.
(AP)?A District Court judge
rejected claims from a New Castle
man that God provided him with a
plastic jug of cash and advised the
man he was being charged with
burglary and theft
Ubaldo Madrid Rodriguez, 31,
was arrested after he tried to cash
$400 in U.S. Savings Bonds at an
Alpine Bank branch on Tuesday.
The bonds were issued to
Richard Luetke, also of New
Casde.
Luetke said he put the money
in a jug and kept it on the head-
board of a bed in his apartment
Rodriguez told police he was
desperate for money for rent and
was "praying to God for help
police said.
He said he heard someone run-
ning and saw someone fleeing,
then saw the plastic jug sitting in
front of Luetke's door.

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP)?Marge and

pleased when police told them
their stolen van had been found?
finally.
The red Volkswagen microbus

He recalled that he and his wife
used to paint homes for a living,

in the van when it was taken while
they lived in Phoenix. They moved
to Tucson in 1989.
It had been stolen in 1974, and
the Fehrs had given up hope they
ever would see it again.
Police told the Fehrs last week it
was found recently in a vacant lot in
Phoenix, what was left of ic The
interior had been stripped and the
carpet was worn down to the metal.

continued from page 7
from students waking up after a'
night of partying.
During this morning "fashion
show" in front of Rawt Building,
several girls passed by resembling
Sporty Spice. This particular com-
bination is made up of athletic
pants, tennis shoes and a short-
sleeve T-shirt.
An ever-present accessory for
all students is the book bag. Most
appear to stick with simple, sub-
dued colors, like black, dark blue,
green and the occasional daring
dark red or cream. However, some
girls seem to be choosing to carry
their books in a long-strapped
satchel.
Be it guy or girl, though, not
many students have the money to
spend large amounts on their
wardrobe. But those individuals
who consider themselves fashion-
conscious usually spend most of
their money at stores in their own
hometown, not necessarily here in
Greenville.
The only fashion-deviant spot- j
ted on this particular day was a
man dressed up in Johnny Cash-
style, complete with boots, black
jeans, black belt, black denim shirt
and a cigarette.
Of course this is college, not a
fashion show. Most students go for
a utilitarian look, and do not waste
their time worrying about chic-
ness. Just remember to put away
the white shoes after Labor Day.

As college basketball crowns
their national champion, college
chcerleading holds a similar com-
petition to find the best squad in
the nation.
ECU's cheerlcading squad is
currently putting the finishing
touches on its routine as they get
ready for to travel to Daytona,
Florida to compete in the National
Cheerlcading Competition.
This tournament is a five day
affair that is comprised of both seri-
ous competition and an equal
amount of fun.
On the first day of the five day
event the Pirates will arrive in
Daytona.
Day two of the competition
is the preliminary round, and
the last day of competeting
for most of the teams. The
Pirates will be in Division
1-A, the most difficult
division to compete in.
The preliminaries are
held inside at the
Ocean Center.
Up until they take the
stage, the Pirate cheerlead-
ers will be honing their rou-
tine to make it the best they
can for the judges.
The top ten teams sur-
vive to the third day, which
is the finals. The end of
the competition is held
outside where the these
ten teams try their best
to claim the champi-
onship trophy. The
teams that usually
have a good show,
ing are frijtfn
Louisville, Florida
State, Georgia Tech
Texas and Purdue.
The fourth day of Daytona is a
day of fun. The teams that have
traveled to Daytona and worked
hard to prepa'hf; for he champi-
onship are rewarded with a day of
fun on the beach. Here the com-
petitors have a chance to mingle
with the other schools and playing
the sand demonstrating some of
the moves and stunts they showed
ort Stage, but this time in a more
relaxed atmosphere.
Day five will be another day of
travel for the Pirate cheering squad
when they embark homeward,
hopefully, with a trophy in hand.

1,367 fans packed the bleachers and even more
lined the outfield fence and filled the outfield
bleachers of I larrington Field last Tuesday night
to see the No. 24 in the nation ECU baseball
team (2S-5) defeat No. 23 Wake Forest (19-7).
For those who missed out it was yet another
Pirate baseball nail-biting victory as
ECU took the 11-8 win.
In the bottom of the eighth inning
with the score tied and 1,300 fans won-
dering just what the Pirates were going
to do this time, Steve Salargo, last
week's CAA Player of the Week, got up
to bat. With Cliff Oodwin on First base
and two outs Salargo sent the game
clinching home run deep over the centerfield
wall.
"A home run is always good but I honestly
wasn't trying to hit it out, we had a runner on sec-
ond so 1 was trying to hit the ball hard to get a
base hit to score him Salargo said. "He threw
a fast ball up in the zone and luckily I was able

The ECU's men's and women's track
teams competed in the Raleigh
Relays on Friday and Saturday.
The meet consisted of about 117
university and club teams. These
teams brought with them about
4,000 athletes to compete.
The Pirate women ended up with
a good showing. Michelle Clayton, in
particular, had a commendable per-
formance. She placed third in the
hammer throw with a throw of 185
feet.
"That is one of the top throws in
the country this year said Charles

Clayton did not stop there. She
went on to place eighth in the shot

cus toss.

NCAA freshman eligability requirements overturned in court
Colleges must now
set their own guidlines
Mavdv Kkittkk
STM-F U HI'I'KR
The court case of'two African-
American high school student-ath-
letes ultimately led to the current
controversy over Proposition 16.
Leatrice Shaw and Tae Kwan
were seniors at Simon Grantz High
School in Philadelphia in 1996.
Shaw and Kwan had grade-point
averages of 3.5 and 2.8 respectively
and finished in the top ten percent
of their class, but each failed to
achieve the minimum SAT score.
According to Proposition 16, these
two should have been labeled as
"partial qualifiers" and sent on to
college to play at the school of
choice. Yet somehow they were
never officially cleared through the
NCAA Clearinghouse.
Proposition 16 says that in order
to play as a freshman and receive
scholarship, a prospective athlete
must at least score an 820 on the
SAT along with a 2.5 grade-point
average, or a 1010 SAT score and a
2.0 grade-point average. If only one
part is met, like in the case of Shaw
and Kwan, then they are deemed
"partial qualifiers" and can practice
with their collegiate team and
receive scholarship, but lose one
year of eligibility. If a student-ath-
lete completes both parts of the
requirements then they are allowed
to start playing and have no restric-
tions or penalties held against them.
For years many black coaches
and professors in addition to rural
whites, have held their beliefs that
standardized test scores are "radi-
cally and culturally discriminatory"
which has led to the attack against
Proposition 16. They contend that
standardized test scores have noth-
ing to do with a student-athlete's
ability to complete a college course,
and therefore should not inhibit the
student-athlete from going to col-
lege.
District Judge Ronald
Buckwalter agreed and on March 8
he ruled that the NCAA can not use
the minimal standardized test score
to eliminate student-athletes from
Division I eligibility because their
practice is unfair to black students.
Buckwalter denied the NCAA's
request for a stay, making
Proposition 16 officially overturned.
This decision has left open holes
for 302 Division I coaches and their
now non-existing guidelines for
recruiting. Our own ECU coaches
now struggle to decide as an institu-
tion, what standards they want to
set for prospective student-athletes.
"NCAA standards define who
you can recruit. This decision has
now affected all sports across the
board said Neil Roberts, head
coach of women's soccer. "Three
months ago during the signing
process many students weren't eli-
gible for Division I sports and now
they are
There are many concerns to this
more open style of recruiting. The
pool of potential student-athletes is
now greatly enhanced. It has given
schools more of an opportunity to
increase their level of competitive-
ness but may in the future result in
a decrease in the percentage of stu-
dent-athletes who graduate.
"If you are trying to build a good
program and bring in more money
to the school, then yes it would be
better said Marvin Miteell, assis-
tant athletic director for student
development. "But if it is strictly for
athletics and the student conies just
for sports, then no it's not a good
idea because they aren't going to
focus on graduation which is our
main focus
As the fall approaches student-
athletes anxiously await to hear that
they have been officially cleared.
They may have more worrying to

and shut down WFU with two of
his days six strike-outs and then
forced a fly out to end the inning.
WFU made another rally later in
the sixth inning scoring three runs
as they batted around on Bucy's
pitching until ECU's Adam
Reikowski came in to pitch the
third out of the inning. The Pirates
took the lead back (8-6) in the bot-
tom of the seventh inning off of an
Erik Bakich two RBI home run

reached second on an error.
"With a runner on third and two
outs, I was just trying to get that run

Losing Streak
Extended to Three
I'RANK IlKNDRICKS
ITArT WSITKS,
ECU lost a non-conference dual
match on Monday to visiting West
Virginia.
After losing the in doubles, the
Pirates dropped five out of six sin-
gles matches to give the
Mountaineers the 6-1 victory.
"I felt we played well today but
West Virginia played better on the
critical points said Tom Morris,
ECU head coach.
Freshman Michael Huez, who
is 10-4 on the season, was the only
Pirate who was victorious in the
singles matches. He beat out West
Virginia's Irakli Tatishvili by a score
of 6-3, 6-2.
Three of the singles losses came
in grueling three set matches.
Oliver Thalen, who played at No. 2
for the Pirates, lost to James Kent
3-6, 6-4, 6-4. Dustin Hall also lost
in three, losing 6-7, 64,
6-0 to Guillame Raux.
"I was pretty tired after two. I
was worn out and (Raux) really
stepped up in the third Hall said.
Another three set battle came at
the No. 6 spot where Pirate fresh-
man Leshaun Jenkins was beaten
6-0, 2-6,6-2 by James Simpson.
Senior Kenny Kirby's ankle
injury may explain some of the
hardships that the Pirates faced.
"I think things would have been
different if we had Kenny in the
lineup Morris said.
Kirby is a high seed for the
Pirates and his injury forces all
other players to bump up a seed
and play a higher seed than usual.
"Injuries have hurt us all year.
It's very competitive out there and
when you have to move up a seed,
you can tell. It's pretty hard
Huez said.
Kirby is not expected to return
until April 8th when the Pirates
face conference foe George Mason.
The Pirates, 6-8 overall, 0-1 CAA
are traveling to Elon college today.
The match begins at 2:30 p.m.

An astounded crowd of students and faculty crammed into
Hendrix Theater Saturday to witness a technology so advanced
that it can only be described as "breathtaking
After weeks of deliberation, ECU made a bold leap into the 20th
Century by showing a moving picture-show to a select crowd of
ticketed students, teachers and journalists.
"Ice Cream the first picture-show ever to be shown on campus,
is a short film about a small girl licking an ice-cream cone. Since
the film is silent, organist Ethel B. Simmonds, who usually plays
for the weekly Hendrix Theater variety show, added a comical
musical score to the ten-minute film, much to the audience's
delight.
"Oh, its just super gushed Sue-Ann Brown, junior elementary
ed. major. "Our school is the best! Who'd have guessed that in
1999, we'd get to see real moving pictures, close-up, just like they
do in New York? I bet State won't catch up "till 2005
Audience members laughed when the film's heroine, "Baby Betty
dribbled ice cream behind her, attracting the attention of neigh-
borhood dogs.
"It was so real, I could almost hear them barking said Robert
Seymour, a biology major. "Gee whiz, just imagine what this tech-
nology could mean to science
Even faculty members couldn't get enough of Baby Betty's fat lit-
tle cheeks. Mathematics professor Harold R. Worsterchire stood
up after the first showing and demanded an encore. Subsequent

"UHF"
I realty can't figure it out. It seems as
though all the realty classic enter-
tainment emanates from 1989.
Look at the classic film "UHF from
the one and only comic genius
WeiidAlYantovkh. Who cares
about those other "Hollywood"
movies of the 80s anyway? Everyone
could use a good meaningless laugh
now and then. And that is exactly
what the movie provides: meaning-
This irreverent saga is about a
lowiy UHF station trying to survive
in the cutthroat world of basic tele-
vision. 1 know, 1 know, but trust me,
its a great film. The cast is headed
by the aforementioned Weird Al,
who plays the stations daydreaming
nincompoop of a manager, George
Newman.
A man with an overactive imagina-
tion, he shuffles from job to job, get-
ting himself fired for his idiotic
escapades. He finally finds his niche
when his gambling Unde Harvey
wins a small, decrepit UHF station
in a poker game.
At first, times are rough because the
only shows featured by the station
are reruns of Mr. Ed and Green
Acres. But with the help of his
trusty engineer Philco, George soon
gets hold of broadcasting basics.
On the brink of bankruptcy, George
finally has an idea that will save the
day: original prograrnming. From
the depths of his demented mind
come shows like "Wheel of Fish"
and "Name That Stain which help
fill airtimc.
He struggles along until the stations
ratings are finally boosted by
"Stanley Spadowski's Playhouse
hosted by a pre-Seinfeld Michael
Richards.
The cerebralty challenged host
draws attention and terrific ratings
to the station; during one episode, a

CD Review
Wiiang worth a listen
Like a bat out of Hell's smoky
depths, radical metal ensemble
Wulfgang comes screaming out of
Concord, North tarolina with a
release pumped to the roof with
head-slarmnin fcather-wearin' rock
and roll
Love AM Easy is bursting with
melancholy ballads and heavy riffs,
and the talent these guys possess
can't be denied.
I'm scratching my head, wondering
why this musically superior group
hasn't garnered a major recording
deal. With such songs as"Rock My
Workflow Gone Badand"Back
in the Saddle Wulfgang boldly
Umtolhss
daims the right to be chased by
hordes of t-shirt clad women in tight
jeans, but they're still playing the
small-time label game.
These lyrics are incredible. Jimmy
Lee Price's husky, slightly nasal wail
cuts through my heart like a knife
with his primal "Hoooooo, whoa,
yeah-yeah
I nearly cried when I really listened
to the lyrics of "The Indian Song
whose plaintive refrain of "Hey-hi-
W-hey-hi-hi-hey-ru-W-yowww
tugged at my heart
Unfortwiatcfy Wulfgang will never
get the respect they deserve, since
this giourd-breaking album arrived
on the music scene about a decade
too late to matter.
Dont get me wrong; there's nothing
hackneyed about their sound. No
way do they sound like Whitcsnake
or Def Leppaid Ifs just that today's
market is already too flooded with
big-haired, mega-talented 35-year-
old men in hot pink bandannas.
But one thing's for sure: if you only
buy one album this year out of the
$1 bin at CD ADey, the one full of
CDs by non-famous people, make it
this one. You won't regret it very
much.

campus safety check
Ryan "Jungle Boy" Kennemur

As you may or may not know, our
campus was recently visited by an
Australian celebrity. Yes, the mighty
Steve Irwin, also known as the
Crocodile Hunter, took time out of
his busy schedule of chasing the
fiercest creatures the world has to
offer to team up with the school's
ecology department and identify the
deadly creatures living on campus. I
had the chancc.no, the blessing of
interviewing him as he toured our
campus. Here is how it went, word

odileman! h is great to meet you.

you, pally!

out the campus to make students

mals that live-

Assistant Editor Caleb Rose who is
standing behind me listening) Great
Flaming Wallabies! Do you realize
what that is?

Caleb.

Did you know that your friend here
is a giant walking snake from Hell?
RK: Ofcourseldid. But don't
worryhe,s toothless, so he won't
hurt anybody.

scious with a massive head wound)
Oh, I'm sure he's fine. Lefs took

not expecting to see much- Sweet

See how he's copulating with me

on my shirt and quickly eats it.)
RK: What the hell was that?
CH: Nothing, mate, nothing I have
to be moving along now. My
Crocodile Sense is telling me that
someone is in danger of being eaten
somewhere down under, and I must
put a stop to it! Besides, I'm getting
hungry. Mmmm-Hmmm! Croc for

audience response was so high, the
Mendenhall staff had no choice but to
show"Ice Cream" a second time.
Mendenhall marketing director Arthur
Dent couldn't be happier about ECU'S
new craze, and can't wait to begin
showing weekly films.
"We've got big plans for Hendrix
Theaterf he said"WeTl move the vari-
ety show to the amphitheatei so that
we can transform Hendrix into a
space-age viewing facility for students
and faculty alike
Dent cited such upgrades as a new
450-horn pipe organ, large screen and
orchestra pit
Further plans to propel ECU into the
1900s include a sandwich shop, for
students who are too busy to consume
bowls of gruel, and spaces in which
students may park their motor-cars.

Dog enjoys $70,000 a year
RALEIGH (AP) Once a homeless
mutt, Rowdy is living anything but a
dogs life these days in his air-condi-
tioned doghouse in north Raleigh. His
late millionaire owner's largesse pays
about $70,000 a year for his care.
Twenty miks away in Clayton, animal
shelter manager Melinda Barefoot
can't wait for the pampered 15-year-
old to finally gnaw his last chew bone.
Under Charles Caldwell's will, her
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals shelter stands to get a share
of his estatebut not before Rowdy
rests in peace.
Meanwhile, the shelter is in dire
straits. It has $856 in the bank and
more than 150 abandoned animals
sharing cages. Dozens of animals are
put to sleep every month because
Barefoot cannot afford to keep them.
Barefoot works at the shelter seven
days a week, despite rheumatoid
arthritis and lupus.
Caldwell took Rowdy in during the
1980s. He died four years ago at age
92. Rowdy, however, still is going
strong, although he has a touch of
arthritis in his hind legs.
Rowdy lives behind the home of
Caldwell's long-time companion,
Lillian Smith, and wants for nothing,
including a daily dog-sitter visit.
"I know this is not what Mr. Caldwell
would have wanted said Barefoot,
who started the shelter from her own
back yard in 1982. She built it with
financial help from Caldwell, who also
sent the shelter $1,000 a month for
expenses.
"Mr. Caldwell loved all stray dogs she
said. "He promised us we would be
taken care of
Recently the estate's attorney, David
Cockman of Morehead City, began
sending the shelter $1,000 a month
from his own legal tees and promised
to continue the payments for the next
30 months.
The money helps, but it is not enough,
and when space runs short, Barefoot is
the one who must euthanize shelter
animals.
"Some nights 1 go home, and I try to
sleep, and all lean think about are
their faces she said.
Caldwell, who made a fortune in real
estate, left a $2.3 million estate when
Sheep make great pets
NEW YORK (AP) During his 13 years
driving a bus in the heart of New York
City, Jose Cruz said he had seen a
llama, a potbellied pig, a parrot and
plenty of dogs and cats. But Thursday
was the first time he spotted sheep.
As he drove across 42nd Street during
the morning rush hour, traffic forced
him to stop alongside the New York
Public Library, where he noticed a
well-dressed man and woman
strolling along the sidewalk with two
fuzzy white adult sheep on leashes.
"If you look to your right, you'll see a
couple walking their sheep, Cruz told
passengers through the public address
system on the bus.
Heads turned briefly, but passengers
quickly returned to their newspapers.
People on the crowded street saw the
sheep but also kept moving.

"It's New York shrugged Cruz, 37,
who lives in Queens. "You know what
makes it New York? Everybody looks
and says OK, yeah ? no big deal
It turns out the sheep, Winnie and
Ajax, were part of a promotion for
lightweight wool sponsored by The
Woolmark Company, a textile organi-
zation which licenses its brands to
manufacturers in over 65 coun-
tricsThis is a fun way to get people's
attention in the country's fashion cen-
ter and dispel the misconception that
wool is only a cool weather fabric
said company spokeswoman
Stephanie GarbarinL
"Ajax and Winnie are domesticated
just like dogs ? they love people and
attention, she said.
he died. In his will, he stipulated that
Rowdy and two other dogs, Butch and
Tramp, would have to die before other
beneficiaries, such as Barefoofs shel-
ter, could receive proceeds of the
estate.
Butch and Tramp are gone, but not
Rowdy. His veterinarian, Dr. Craig
Wilson of Bayleaf Veterinary Hospital
in Raleigh, said Rowdy "is in good
health, and well taken care of
"By the time Rowdy dies, there may be
nothing left said Cockman, the
estate's lawyer.
He said the estate was forced to pay $1
million in federal taxes after a recent
audit. Other funds have gone to pay
state taxes.
Smith has received dividends from
investments Caldwell made before he
died, phis $190,000 to buy herself and
Rowdy a house. And there are other
miscellaneous dog- and home-upkeep
expenses spelled out in the will.
Tm very protective of Rowdy" Smith
said. She said Caldwell would be
thrilled to know Rowdy is happy and
healthy.

This kid gobbles up the hose, antici-

out and blasts the kid through a

To make a long story short, the
movie is a drawn-out comedic mas-

of humor is priceless. If you have any

fame. But as Ed said, his fifteen min-
utes of fame was fourteen minutes
too long.
It sounds like a good movie, doesn't
itoh boy does ft have undertones.
Let me be the first to remind you of a
superb novel written in 1948 by a
man named Orwellyou got it, the
prophetic" 1984 The story was much
the same except that the main charac-
ter of"1984Winston Smith.didn't
decide to be watched all the time.
America is foreshadowing technolo-
gy's damnation, people! Like the
Marshall Tucker Band saidcan't you
see?" This"EDtv"bullschmidt is
nothing more than director Ron
Howard's way telling us that tele-
screens are coming!
Sooner or later they will be watching
our every move. Oh yes, Big Brother is
upon us and ferociously anticipates
making our American lives terrible.
What? You think you can run? You
can't run, it's Big Brother, flimsily dis-
guised as entertainment! Soon all of
us will have jobs working for Hig
Brother, sending scraps of paper with
important historical facts into an
incinerator so future generations will
riot ever know how great life was
before telescreens and doublespeak.
Don't you get it? This Ed is a messen-
ger, a messiah, a really special guy. He
is bringing a message to us humble
servants on Earth from a place of
much higher knowledgc.and that
place is Dover, Delaware. We should jj(
organize a sect and pay homage to
this man by smashing telescreen-like
devices and erecting video stores that
we will congregate in whenever
February 29 occurs on a Thursday?in
mark you calendar!
The end is nigh, friend, and "EDtv"
has spread the message of light to you
and 1, the humble beings that inhabit
this wonderful America, a country
soon to be catastrophically altered by
a new society where our every move
and thought will be monitored,
recorded and remembered. But as
long as we stick to believing the scrip-
ture from the Ron Howard film
"EDtv" and meet in Dover, Delaware
at the video storesynagogue, we shall
overcome. Until then, Big Brother is
watching you. ))

ARIES:
(March 21-April 20)
Today is the day that you will eat
many tomatoes. The eating of the
tomatoes begins this day. You will
awaken, and the craving for toma-
toes is there, in your bowels. You will
open the refrigerator and reach for
all available tomatoes. You will travel
to your local supermarket also.
Then, when you think that you have
eaten all available tomatoes, you will
discover one more, slightly shriveled.
You will consume it. This is not my
fault
TAURUS:

Ahhh! Awaken and feel the fresh
tingry sensation of a dean spring
breeze on your face! This day will
bring you much happiness and suc-
cess in money, love, fame or whatev-
er. When you root for a booger, you'll
find it. It's that kind of day. Just
remember, when you're walking on
the sidewalk, not to step on any
cracks. This is crucial! What? You
already did?
GEMINI:

Save it, in case someone else needs it

food-scraps as well You never know
when hungry cats may come up to
your door. Honey, I never throw any-
thing away. You know, those toilet-
paper rolls can come in handy.
Martha Stewart says so!
