It's April again, time to get out,
enjoy the sun, take in a baseball
game and pay your taxes!
April 15 is the deadline for filing
your income taxes and this year
the Internal Revenue Service
(IRS) is trying to make it easier for
you.
The IRS has taken the initia-
tive to implement a electronic fil-
ing program, a phone filing service
and a credit card and debit card
payment plan.
'The IRS is hoping to make
the entire electronic filing experi-
ence more convenient while
simultaneously trying to meet a
congressional mandate to increase
the number of electronically filed
forms said a statement on the

Open house unites
with minority visitation
Spring Open House and
Minority Visitation Weekend will
kick off April 16-17, but this will be
a unique year. For the first time,
these events will be held in con-
junction with one another in order
to increase potential students'
exposure to university services.
"These two events were previ-
ously seen as two different open
houses and they are not said
Elola Moore, assistant director of
Undergraduate Admissions.
The reason for the merger of
the events into one weekend was
for convenience sake. It was felt
that incoming minority students
could benefit from the services
that Open House provided.
"The academic fair during the
spring) open house is outstanding.
I could not provide the same
opportunities for minority stu-
dents Moore said.
In past years, the Minority
Family Weekend occurred two to
three weeks previous to the spring
open house. Officially, the spring
open house is just Saturday, while
the minority weekend starts on
Friday.

Terra Steinbeiser

ECU'S Medical School recently
made an arrangement with
America's Health Network to begin
broadcasting its signal at designated
times daily on Multimedia Cable
Channel 99.
Channel 99 is owned and operat-
ed by the Center of Health
Sciences Communication (CHSC)
and is used to educate people about
current health issues as well as to
provide other information to the
local community. The Radio
Reading Service also uses this chan-
nel to provide the blind community
with readings of the top news sto-
ries.
Although broadcasting for
America's Health Network is not
scheduled to begin until April 15,
CHSC has been working on it for
some time.
"When I began here two years
ago, my bosses told me that we
owned Channel 99 and that we
needed to get more health-oriented

11-year-old held in
death of infant cousin
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) An 11-
year-old giri who was baby-sitting
her 14-month-old cousin was
charged with murdering the boy
Monday.
A neighbor called authorities
after hearing screams from the
home. The boy, Joshua Parker,
went into cardiac arrest and died
later in a hospital.
Police said the girl hit the boy
several times. Coroner Frank
Barren said the boy had bruises
on his head and face and died

ily court judge to undergo a men-
tal evaluation.
Under state law, the girl can be

Spam e-mail policy to cut junk mail
Unwanted messages
clog, slow Exchange
Anisa Ghrairi
staff writer
The university has instituted a new
policy prohibiting the distribution
of unwanted spam e-mail.
Spam e-mail can' be any unwant-
ed messages, advertisements, chain
letters, broadcast announcements,
or any other message sent via e-mail
to a group of persons not requesting
the message unless the e-mail is for
official university business.
"This policy has been instituted
because it has become an annoy-
ance to not only students, but facul-
ty and staff as well said Blake
Price, director of Computing and
Information Systems in charge of
writing up the spam e-mail policy.
"The spam e-mail impacts the sys-
tems by causing them to slow down
e-mail
Many students believe that the
policy is a good idea if it is imple-
mented correctly. Sophomore Todd
Stewart is in favor of the policy.
"At one point someone sent out
a list to probably half the school,
and of course most people reply to
it, which immediately sends a for-
ward message to everyone on the
list and sometimes this can severely
clog up the systems he said.
Price agrees with Stewart about
this problem.
"When you get unwanted mes-
sages do not use the 'reply to all'
function to respond to the sender
he said. 'This will resend the mes-
sage to every address in the original
e-mail and only makes the problem
worse
Students have been complaining
about this for awhile as the spam e-
mail problem fluctuates.
"It is very frustrating when I
open my e-mail account and there
are a lot of nonsense messages that
have been sent to me that take up
space on my file said Alison
Lewis, junior. "I think the policy
will help because it will reduce the
amount of messages being sent to
one's e-mail account that just takes
up space
Mary Ellen Faulk, sophomore,
also thinks the policy is a good idea,
but sees a problem.
"Some people might be msjd
because they can not use fre
advertising on students e-mail any-
more she said.
Former seventh-grade

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) A former mid-

William Comicz, 32, of New
Paltz pleaded guilty Monday in
Federal Court in Albany to one
count of possessing child pornogra-
phy. In his plea, Comicz said
between September 1997 and
November 1997 he received several

SrVAS, Turkey (AP) An earthquake

The quake, with a preliminary
magnitude of 5.2, struck at 3:08 a.m.
(0008 GMT) near the town of

Bill to track age, race,
gender of motorists
Designed to prevent
disproportionate stops
Jessica Reed
staff whiter
A bill recendy introduced in the
legislation by Sen. Ed Warren and
Sen. Frank Ballance will call for all
state law enforcement agencies to
track information on the race, gen-
der and age of motorists who are
stopped.
The goal of the bill is to deter-
mine if the state Highway Patrol
and other law enforcement officials
are stopping a disproportionate
number of black drivers.
'This legislation is intended to
help address the perception that
some folks are stopped because of
their race, and real numbers are the
only way to monitor this said
Ballance, in a recent press release.
This act becomes effective Oct.
I, and is for actions occurring on or
after that date.
Highway Patrol officials said
their policy does not allow any
unfair or improper enforcement and
believes that this study will show
Correction
In the April 6 issue of TEC, we left Jason Evans, candidate for treasurer
and Shondell Jones, candidate for secretary out of our coverage. We oper-
ated on incorrect information that was furnished to us and deeply regret
any adverse effects. Also, the wrong quote was attributed to Overton
Harper. The quote should have read: "As SGA treasurer I would like to
address two issues: simplified funding of organizations and better commu-
nications between the treasurer's office and organizations
that targeting motorists by race is
not a practice.
"We support the bill, but
because we can, we are doing our
own pilot study to track all stops
said Rencc Hoffman, director of
Public Affairs for the Department
of Crime Control and Public Safety.
"We want to know for ourselves
what our officers are doing
This study will analyze statistics
on traffic stops as set forth in legis-
lation. Mobile Data Computers
(MDC) will be installed in every
patrol car to conduct the study of
traffic enforcement stops made by
troopers.
Three hundred sixty-four MDC
units have already been installed in
law enforcement vehicles in 59
counties across the state. By the
end of 2000, 520 more MDC units
will be installed and activated, cov-
ering all counties in the state. Some
African-American ECU students do
not understand the purpose of the
bill.

essary said Amee Terlinden,
sophomore. "When you get pulled

request by both individual tax-
payers and preparers who wanted
the IRS to accept credit card pay-
ments.
Taxpayers who wish to save
time filing and receive their
refund faster can file through
their personal computer or over
the phone. Both pilot programs
are for the 1998 tax year and for
1040 forms only.
Freshman Lisa Kanupp, 18,
was happy with the time she
saved but not the refund she got.
"I found that filing over the

took about five minutes
Kanupp said. "I only got back
$255 for federal taxes because I had
to pay $92, which doesn't even
cover one of my car payments. It
only took about three weeks for the
refund though
The IRS will even allow some-
one else to pay your taxes with their
credit card, should you be lucky
enough to find such a person. Your
parent or spouse can make a pay-
ment with their credit card or debit
card for you. The IRS accepts
DiscoverNovus, American Express
and Mastercard. Sorry, Visa is not
accepted and you may have to pay a
merchant fee on your Mastercard if
you use it If you pay by credit card,
beware that you can only make a
maximum of two payments (to
avoid lots of fees and potential
fraud), however, you can pay up to
$99,999.
Should you want to avoid tech-
nology, the standard paper process
of filing is still available, but
beware of the time and money it
takes.
H&R Block will gladly file your
taxes for you, but they may charge
you at least $50 for a 1040, depend-
ing on your status. Other forms
may need to be filed as well,
depending on your income, depen-
dents, expenses and deductions.
H&R Block also offers a rapid
refund program, where a patron can
get their refund in two to four days,
but they have to have a refund of
$200 to qualify and there is a fee.
"We have a very small percent-
age of students who come through,
probably less than five percent
said George Sauls, of H&R Block
Want to avoid that professional
fee? It could cost you time in the
long run, according to Rebecca
Wharton, 19.
"I filed through the mail, it's
been over a month and I am still
waiting for a refund said Wharton,
who planned on buying clothes and
making a car payment.
The good news for taxpayers this
year is that you or your parents can
take credit for college tuitivn
expenses. Under Publication 970
Tax Benefits for Higher Education,
with form 8863, qualifying appli-

credit on tuition. Applicants may
also qualify to deduct interest paid

Past world rulers like Alexander the Great, Tutankhamen and Julius Caesar have all had one thing in
common: the past. They're stuck in it. It makes more sense to follow a ruler who has conquered
death and a world leader who promises to someday rule the world through peace.
Jesus Christ is that ruler. He claimed to be God, was crucified for our sins, and then rose bodily
from the grave. And he promises to return to rule over the earth. For ai freearticle on

Ordinance keeps cars off lawns
Supporters of policy
saycars ruin aesthetics
Christina Arnold
contrjiutino writer
ECU students who find parking on
campus difficult may find it even
more difficult to park in their own
yards.
The Greenville City Council
recently passed a new city ordi-
nance making it illegal for
Greenville City residents to park
on their front lawns. Yet many
ECU students are unaware of ordi-
nance No. 99-6, which went into
effect Jan. 14,1999.
Tracy Cross, senior, was sur-
prised to leam that she could be
fined for parking in her own front
yard.
"I wasn't aware of such an ordi-
nance Cross said. "How can they
enforce a law that I didn't even
know about?"
According to the ordinance, it is
unacceptable to use grass and bare
earth areas "to maneuver, park or
store any vehicle, camper, trailer or
boat within any front andor side
yard area Residents who do not
comply with the ordinance may be
cited for the violation.
Citations will include a $50 fine
to either the owner of the property,
the owner of the car or the lease of
the property said Blair Carr, city
attorney for the Greenville Police
Department
Carr said repeat violations of the
ordinance could lead to a court
injunction to stop the behavior.
The judge can then decide what
fine to set, she said.
Parking area standards add to
the beautification, safety and con-
formity of a neighborhood Can-
noted.
"It (parking on the lawn) ruins
the aesthetics of a neighborhood,
damages the property and causes a
depreciation of property value
she said.
Complaints about certain
Greenville areas led to them being
zoned for parking enforcement,
while other areas have not adopted
the new citywidc ordinance said
Carl Rees, city of Greenville zoning
enforcement planner.
Many ECU students find the
new ordinance to be problem as
shared housing forces them to park
in their front yards.
"I don't know where the govern-
ment gets off telling us what we
can do with our own property said
Susann Matthews, senior.
Devin Hetley, junior, agrees
with Matthews.
"I don't understand how the
government can regulate private
property. If you own the house,
you should be able to park wherev-
er you want he said.
"I can understand people not
making junk piles out of their yard,
but when you live with other peo-
ple, it's easier to pull your car up
next to the other car Matthews
said. "It just makes it easier when
you're backing out of the drive-
way
"Zoning ordinances allow the
city to regulate land use Carr said.
She suggested students who may
find the new regulation trouble-
some should "take it up with their
landlords

Minority students who will be
visiting the campus can look for-
ward to many activities and pro-
grams during the open house
weekend. There will be mentor
workshops available for students
to get information.
"Faculty members and stu-
dents will be connecting with

other topics Moore said.
There will be a display of vari-
ous minority performances during
the weekend. Performances

"The activities and various
things hold during minority week-
end are not the same as Open
House, but students still get the
special opportunities that minori-
ties need Moore said.
Sixteen minority organizations
will set up tables on April 17 for a
Minority Student Fair. Clubs like
the ECU Chapter of the NAACP
and Allied Blacks for Leadership
and Equality (ABLE) will be pre-
sent.
All students coming during the

BELGRADE, Yugoslavia (AP)
Yugoslav President Slobodan
Milosevic declared a unilateral
cease-fire Tuesday in his campaign
to crush rebels in Kosovo, saying he
wanted to honor the Orthodox
Easter holiday this weekend.
Western leaders called the move a
sham and pledged to press ahead
with airstrikes.
Moments after the cease-fire
took effect at 8 p.m. (2 p.m. EDT),
air-raid sirens wailed in Belgrade,
heralding new NATO attacks.
Government media said a fuel
storage facility at the airport near
Kosovo's capital Pristina was target-
ed early Wednesday, and state tele-
vision said a garage, and a ware-
house at an oil refinery in Novi Sad,
Serbia's second largest city, were
destroyed.
At least six explosions could be
heard late Tuesday in the direction
of the Batajnica military airport just
north of Belgrade and tracer rounds
from anti-aircraft were seen in the
night sky.
Yugoslav television stations
reported further attacks at Uzice,
75 miles southwest of Belgrade;
near Kraljevo, 75 miles south of
Belgrade; and at Pancevo and
Cacak, two industrial towns. U.S.
officials say a munitions plant is
located at Cacak.
Another missile struck a resi-
dential district in Podgorica, capital
of the tiny Yugoslav republic
Montenegro. There were no
injuries but several buildings were
damaged, according to Associated
Press reporters on the scene.
A group of professors from
Belgrade University mostly mem-
bers of the neo-Communist
Yugoslav Left led by Milosevic's
wife stood on a Belgrade bridge
through the night to serve as a
"human shield" against attack.
The Yugoslav cease-fire declara-
tion was clearly aimed at staving off
further NATO attacks and at pre-
senting Milosevic's government as
a champion of peace.
President Clinton and NATO
insisted that half-measures would
not end the NATO air campaign
that began March 24, and British
Prime Minister Tony Blair's
office said Milosevic's announced
truce "doesn't go nearly far
enough
A rebel spokesman also rejected
the cease-fire, which was
announced on Belgrade television
stations, and said the only way the
group would agree to a truce would
be if NATO troops enforced it
The statement also pledged the
government would work for the
return of ethnic Albanian refugees.
However, it wasn't clear if that
meant an immediate halt to mili-
tary actions forcing them to flee.
Russia alone welcomed the
cease-fire. "Any peace initiative
must be useful spokesman
Dmitry Yakushkin quoted
President Boris Yeltsin as saying.
On the refugee front, NATO
nations and others rushed in tons of
aid Tuesday for the400,000 ethnic
Albanians who have been driven
out of Kosovo and into poor neigh-
boring states.
Armies of aid workers and sol-
diers set up row upon row of mili-
tary tents and latrines for the
refugees, while aid flights clogged
nearby airports, including the one
at Tirana, the capital of Albania.
Some doctors were on hand, but
the squalid conditions and lack of
sanitation left many refugees sick
with diarrhea.
Conditions were most desperate
at frontier enclave at Blace on the
Macedonian border, where some
refugees have died.
In order to relieve the refugee
pressure on Macedonia, Western
countries began an airlift to evacu-
ate thousands of refugees from the
former Yugoslav republic. Several
thousand left on flights late
Monday and Tuesday for Norway
and Turkey.
Meanwhile, the Clinton admin-
istration announced that its naval
base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba,
would be a temporary "safe haven"
for up to 20,000 Kosovar refugees
in the coming days.
In its statement, the Yugoslav
leadership said the cessation of hos-
tilities against the ethnic Albanian
Kosovo Liberation Army in
advance of Sunday's Orthodox
Easter was a "gesture of good will
Neither the cease-fire declara-
tion nor statements from Yugoslav
officials said anything about hold-
ing fire against NATO forces'
which mounted their most inten-
sive strikes of the two-week-old ait1
campaign late Monday and early
Tuesday, and promised heavier
firepower to come.
The allies demand that
Milosevic withdraw military and
paramilitary troops from Kosovo
and accept an international military
force to police a settlement tha1!
grants autonomy to Kosovo, a
province of the main Yugoslav-
republic of Serbia.
But in a sign of deteriorating
relations, unknown assailants
hurled a hand grenade at Belgrade
only mosque Tuesday. The blast
injured no one, but shattered wirP
dows and slightly damaged the
building, Beta news agency report-
ed.
In Washington, Defense
Secretary William Cohen said the
Serb cease-fire offer is "not only
completely unacceptable, but it's
absurd
He said accepting a cease-fire
now would be an "abdication of
responsibility" by NATO.

Tae-Bo fanatic, Billy Blanks, has become a large part of the lives of many college
students. If you don't know who Billy Blanks is or have never heard of Tae-Bo,
chances are you aren't keeping that New Year's resolve to get physically fit Tae-Bo
is the latest in a fitness craze that continues to gain momentum and spring is a per-
fect time to catch the wave.
On every channel someone is hawking the latest flexi-do-dad. The most preva-
lent infomercial, features Blanks and his Tae-Bo family kicking and punching their
way to fitness. Such big name people as Carmen Electra, Sinbad, Farrah Fawcett,
Goldie Hawn and Neve Campbell, just to name a few, have helped in advertising
for Banks and his new type of fitness training. We've even heard people say they
didn't want to go on spring break because they would miss their Tai-Bo workouts!
Tae-Bo is not the only way to go. There are weighted balls, weighted polls, steps,
slides, rubber bands and elastic bands too. Not to mention the underwater boxing,
self-defensine and voeo-cizing available at campus and area gyms.
As a student or faculty member, you have a unique environment in which to get
into the best shape of your life. Of course, the multi-million dollar Student Rec
Center is an obvious advantage, but there are many more reasons why you may
never have a better opportunity to get fit. Being surrounded by thousands of other
Jbung bodies caught up in the fitness craze should lend you momentum. Don't get
rjtiscouraged by the ever present beautiful hard body in an itsy-bitsy jogging bra
Reside you. Instead, let those who are ahead of you in their fitness goals inspire you.
Remember, obtaining a certain fitness goal my give you biceps to brag about, but
0ie best reason to get fit is for your health.
I Whether you purchase the latest Tae-Bo series of videos and punch your way to
fitness in the privacy of your home, or you join the throngs of other like minds at
the Rec Center, now is a great time to shape up.

Old enough to fight, too young to drink
yfell, the United States is once
again involved in another skirmish,
and this time it's not with Iraq! The
'ferisis in Kosovo" (a catchy little
phrase that the media came up
wjth, no doubt to increase their rat-
ifies) has the United States military
ajfeng with NATO forces (or the
rj&w World Order) putting the
lljjjes of their soldiers on the line.
JjWith the loss of one American
bfynber, and American soldiers
taken prisoner by the Serbs, it
appears that we may be at the brink
o?something more serious than the
l?S. government had initially
expected.
lWhile the Russian Navy posi-
ttsrns itself near the coast of Kosovo,
a show of support for the Serbs,
may be witnessing the begin-
of an all out war.
with all major wars, there
ays comes an incredible loss of
life?tragic indeed. Who
these wars? I'll tell you who
i these wars. The old men who

, there on the battle fields with
ijr faces in the mud, stopping
bullets with their chests. No, they
sit behind their desks, wearing
their three piece suits, while
America's youth is being crippled
and killed because of some war
they didn't suit.
This brings me to the point of
my letter. Being 19 years old, I am
extremely angered of the feet that I
am not allowed rights that certain
other Americans enjoy and yet, I
am expected to die for my country
at the whim of some corrupt draft
dodging government official, the
rights I refer to are those rights that
people who have graced the earth
with their presence for at least 21
years are allowed, (such as, the
right to buy alcohol or rent a car)
while adults only three years
younger are not
I must question the logic behind
this. An 18 year old is mature
enough to handle a gun in combat
situations, but is not mature
enough to handle a beer if he
chooses to do so? Does this make
the least bit of sense? I should say it
does not.
Since the government is led by
middle-aged people who could
give a sweet rat's ass about the
rights of America's 18-20 year olds,
such that this law has not been
changed.
Furthermore, most government
positions require one to be at least
21 years of age to even be consid-
ered. America's 18-20 year olds do
not deserve to be treated like
pawns, they deserve equal rights. If
they are not given equal rights,
they should not be expected to
engage in military combat.
The government has the right to
send us 18-20 year olds to early
graves in the name of some
trumped up cause, when we don't
even enjoy the same rights as the
people who send us to the early
graves. There is some serious error
in reasoning here. If we allow this
to continue, we shall remain the
governments' pawns, and they
shall continue to manipulate as
they please.
Well, all this writing has made
me thirst, so I think I'll go get me a
cold one. Since, at any given time
America decides to go to war, I'll be
expected to give up my life, I'm
going to enjoy a brew whenever the
mood strikes mc?regardless of the
ridiculous law.
OPINION!
Stephen
Kleinshmitt
Cartoons wrong about Greeks
For the past year, this columnist
has had to endure the unfounded
opinions of staff illustrator Chris
Knotts in our very own East
Carolinian. It is obvious that Knotts
is not a Greek student, and tends to
label what he does not understand
a bad thing. In one of his often
recurring "Life on Tuesday" car-
toons, the main character Tuesday
laughs at the concepts of fraterni-
ties while he is standing in front of
the fictional Tri-Pi fraternity house
during a party. So what are his con-
cepts of fraternities (and to a
greater extent, the entire Greek
system?)
Entirely bogus. Sure, the 10 per-
cent Greek population here at
ECU likes to have a good time like
the other 90 percent of the students
on Friday nights. But, let's look at
the whole truth. The concept of
fraternities are brotherhood and
service. People come to ECU unfa-
miliar with their surroundings.
Fraternities and sororities give stu-
dents direction. They have some-
where to go in times of need. They
have someone encouraging them to
do their best in their schoolwork.
They have the opportunity to meet
many people and grow connec-
tions. And then there is the coveted
Greek social life. People always
like talking to Greeks because they
always have something interesting
going on. What's your idea of fun?
And then there is our service
aspect. Many Greek organizations
donate thousands of dollars and
hundreds of hours doing service to
better the community for all stu-
dents. My own fraternity, Phi
Kappa Psi does a yearly benefit for
the Greenville Community Shelter,
and have been named as their
biggest donor each year. Theta Chi
has their annual see-saw marathon
that has donated over $10,000 in
the last five years to the Pitt
County Special Olympics. And let's
not forget the sororities! Alpha
Omicron Pi has a bone marrow
drive every year, and there are a
host of sororities that hold various
benefits each year that rake in the
cash for North Carolina's most
neediest charities. What are these
charities supposed to rely on?
Canned food and clothing drives
run by the residence halls? Please.
These things yield about 20 bucks
worth of creamed com and dirty
socks. Without Greek organizations
at this campus, there would be a lot
more starving people out there.
The concepts of brotherhood
and service have been taught to us
since we were children. Maybe it
was the Boy Scouts that taught yon
the value of friendship and cama
raderie. Maybe it was all the friends
you had at camp that made your
first trip from home a little less hec-
tic. It could be the times in your
church's youth group when you col-
lected toys for foster children for
Christmas, and it felt good to do
something for someone other than
yourself.
When I came to ECU, I was
stuck in the dorms with druggies,
alcoholics, thieves, all sorts of
weirdos and undesirables. Why
criticize me for wanting to disasso-
ciate myself with these loons? I
know several people who said they
would never go Greek, and have,
and now they'll never go back.
They have obviously dispelled the
Greek notion that Knott's cartoons
try to play up because they lack
creativity and important subject
matter.
Why am I speaking out for the
Greek system? Because I believe in
what it stands for, and since I hap-
pen to have a voice, my message is
that all the Greek community asks
from you is that you should at least
do some research on us before you
bad mouth us. Everybody hates a
know-it-all that criticizes some-
thing they know nothing about
LETTER
to the Editor
Some professors lack professionalism
This is my junior year at ECU. I
have gone through my program of
study without so many "bumps"
along the way. Many of my profes-
sors have been so great! I have truly
enjoyed studying under the profes-
sional teachers I have had here at
this university. However, at the
beginning of this semester, I met
severe disappointment
I walked into the class my second
day back from Christmas vacation
and was subjected to overbearing,
verbal abuse. The professor of the
class used very rude, vulgar lan-
guage which deeply offended my
soul. He used curse word after
curse word, without any logical rea-
soning. He proceeded to use
extremely vulgar sexual slang in
class.
The ultimate sorrow was felt when
he told the class to use one of the
curse words?to say it out loud. As
the room echoed with that nasty
word, proceeded by laughter, my
heart sank. I could not believe what
I was in the midst of. I came to
ECU seeking professionalism. I
received an hour full of lewdness.
As I write this now, the emotions
are still very powerful and sad.
That this son of behavior is allowed
to take place at a doctoral universi-
ty is unbelievable. I dropped the
class and complained about the sit-
uation, but nothing really can be
done unless others take a stand and
put common courtesy and decency
in their proper place.
Students have impressionable
minds. We are supposed to be able
to look up to our professors.
Professors should be guiding role
models. Students should not go to
class and be subject to language
worse than that in rated R movies.
In fact, we should not even be sub-
jected to that type of language. If
this type of language is going to be
allowed, maybe the university
should restrict what ages can enter
into certain classes. Some students
do start college at age 17.
Shame on the slackness of the peo-
ple around me who laughed at the
profanity that day, and shame on
the professor who used the lan-
guage. What is the world coming
to? Should we not set distinguished
goals? Should we not value virtue?
This sort of letter is not enjoyable
to write. I would like to say that I
am truly satisfied with my experi-
ence here, but I am not. This is an
issue that has been bothering me
ever since the fust day of class this
semester, and I believe that this is
the best way to voice my disap-
pointment. I would like to leave a
message to anyone who is placed in
the situation I was in: Stand up for
what you believe in and follow your
integrity. Make sure someone at
the upper level of the university
knows about the situation.

"ays make homes for

Amy Wagner
assistant news editor
I -
Meow, Many students have
p t cats. But, as you may have
nt riced, ECU has their own ver-
sii n of pet cats. Many stray cats
run rampant around campus, mak-
ing; it their home sweet home.
"I've seen them running
artund and I feel so sorry
for them sophomore Chrissy
Buckley said. "There is a whole
family behind my dorm Buckley
lives in Jones Residence Hall.
These cats were not put here by
Chancellor Eakin to add charm or
to chase squirrels. According to
Bobbie Parsons,
shelter direc-
tor of the
Pitt
County
Humane
Society,
the large
number of
stray cats
came from.

students.
"Students

Parsons said.
"These cats

neigh-
b o r ,
think
again.
"People think
these cats behind and somebody
will take care of it Parsons said.
"But, that's not the case. They
either get ran over or become wild
Parsons is not happy with the
consequences of these abandoned
cats. For example, she once saw a
stray cat with its head caught in a jar
and she couldn't catch it to help it.
Besides hurting themselves,
these cats can be dangerous to peo-
ple as well. According to Parsons,
many of them have rabies,
leukemia and the FIV virus.
Leukemia and the FIV virus spread
between cats, even cats that live in
people's homes, if they have not
been given the proper shots.
Rabies can spread to unvaccinated
cats, and to humans as well.
"People will try to pick up the
cat to see if it's tame and then get
bit Parsons said. "They need to
realize that we get rabies too
The ECUPD has had no com-
plaints about the cats so far, and
there have not been any incidents
reported to the Student Health
Center this year.
"I've never had any problems
with the cats Buckley said. "I
even leave them some food some-
times. I feel so sorry for them. It is
horrible that someone could just

they have not received any
complaints about the cats, but if
the number of cats gets too

According to Nelson, during
last summer a housekeeping
employee tried to pet a stray cat
outside of the Housekeeping
Services office which is located
in the Old Cafeteria where
there are a large number of
strays. The cat bit him, but he
was not hurt. Housekeeping
sent him to the hospital to get
rabies shots just in case. But, that is
the only incident ai Nelson
knows of.
"I'm not scared of them, but I've
kept my distance since he got bit
Nelson said. "But, I've seen some
people trying to feed them and they
need to know not to try to pet
them
Parson wants students to help
avoid more stray cats in the future.
"First of all, don't take an animal
if you don't know if you can keep
it she said. "Second of all, if you
can not take it when you leave, try
to find it a home. If you can't,
either call us at the Humane
Society or call the pound. They kill
the animals at the pound, but that's
better than leaving them to become
wild and a danger to themselves
and to us
Buckley and Klop want students
to take more responsibility for their
cats.
"It makes me so angry that these
cats are running around because

According to Blanks' web site,
while training at his California

Roberta Ellis, a Greenville resi-

According to students, the best
thing about it is that it's easy to do
and it's not a workout that you
would do for a week, then allow the

"Martial arts is something I
enjoy doing Ellis said. "It's a solid

"Besides working out, you learn

Hop aboard this
summer's Alaskan cruise
Spend the summer on a cruise visiting sites in British Columbia and Alaska
COURTESY OF WORLD WI0E WEB
Event sponsored by
Discovery Place
Brooke Potts
staff writer
The trip combines a cruise of the
coastline with an excursion into the
interior of the state. Both portions
offer many chances to view wildlife
and natural glacier formations.
The entire trip offers typical
cruise features, such as gourmet
food and entertainment, but this
cruise distinguishes itself as being
geared toward learning and explo-
ration.
"We feel that one of the greatest
benefits of offering a trip such as
this is giving people the chance to
vacation with trained museum
staff said Frieda Nicholson,
President and CEO of Discovery
Place.
Representatives from the muse-
um will lead guests on excursions
geared towards their particular age
group and interest. Plus, partici-
pants will have the opportunity to
choose their own activities, which
are different from what the typical
Alaskan vacation offers.
The options for learning are
numerous. The first part of the trip
is the cruise itself. From the
Holland America ship M.S.
Ryndam, guests will sail between
Vancouver, British Columbia and
Seward, Alaska viewing the sights
of Ketchikan, Juneau, Sitka and
Valdez. Along the way, all sorts of
wildlife such as whales and sea
lions can be seen, and the area will
be adrift with glaciers and ice floes.
"Basically, the trip offers some-
thing for everyone said Jim
Hoffman, who handles media for
Discovery Place. "If you arc inter-
ested in learning more about
Alaska, this is ideal
Those guests who wish to
extend their stay have the opportu-
nity to experience even more of the
natural features of this state. A
sightseeing vessel is scheduled to
take passengers to Kenai Fjords
National Park, where visitors will
view bird rookeries and beaches
covered with barking sea lions.
Other trips will be to the Alaska
SeaLife Center and a ski resort.
Also planned are sightseeing trips
in the city of Anchorage and the
shore of Tumagain Arm.
The last leg of the trip takes
guests aboard a private rail car to
the Donnelly National Park and
Mount McKinley, where they will
tour the park and have a chance to
visit Fairbanks. The final day con-
cludes with a river cruise and a tour
of an Alaskan gold mine.
"Alaska is such a unique and dif-
ferent destination, a trip such as
this one practically sells itself said
Carole Mcrriam, who handles trip
registration for Discovery Place.
There are still several spaces
available for anyone who is inter-
ested. The costs range from $1,832
for the cruise alone to $3,820 for the
cruise and tour combination.
Reservations or more information
can be obtained by calling (704)
372-6261, ext. 205.
If you can't make this trip, there
are several other ways that you can
take advantage of the services that
Discovery Place offers. Each sum-
mer, a major trip is planned, and
the museum usually switches off
between their Alaskan vacation and
a trip to Kenya. Both of these trips
are led by museum staff, and all
stress vacation time as well as learn-
ing about the area and its natural

Mentally challeged
teen faces jail time
? WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.
(AP)?A 15-year-old retarded boy
grabbed $2 in lunch money out of
the pocket of a classmate?and for
that, he could have gotten life in
prison.
For weeks, prosecutors defend-
ed their decision to treat Anthony
Laster as an adult, even though the
boy communicates on the level of a
5-year-old. He spent four weeks,
including Christmas, in a jail for
adults because his sister was
unable to raise the $500 needed to
get him out
Then, last week, two days after
"60 Minutes" arrived to do a story
on the case, the charges were
dropped.
The prosecutor offered no
apologies for his zero-tolerance
stand in the case of Anthony, who
never knew his father and whose
mother died in November.
"You do not cherry-pick the
cases, you do not say you feel sorry
for this person because there's a
developmental disability or this
person has had a bad family life so
we won't charge him as an adult
said Mike Edmondson, a
spokesman for Palm Beach County
State Attorney Barry Krischer.
The decision to drop the
charges of strong-arm robbery,
extortion and petty theft Thursday
had nothing to do with "60
Minutes Edmondson said.
The 14-year-old victim changed
his story and his new version did
not back up the severity of tht
charges, Edmondson explained.
The child originally told police
he felt threatened and in fear of
physical harm when Anthony
demanded his money during an
class Dec. 1 at a Boynton Beach
middle school. Later, he said he
did not feel he was in danger.
State law gives prosecutors
authority to decide which juveniles
are treated as adults. Edmondson
said in Palm Beach County, the
policy is to treat as adults all
offenders who are at least 14 and
have committed a felony.
"If it is automatic, they've got a
lot of holes in their zero-tolerance
policy said John Walsh, an attor-
ney with the Juvenile Advocacy
Project who was appointed by a
court to represent Anthony.
Anthony did not deny taking
the money. He said he was hungry
and used the money to buy candy,
according to police.
Walsh said what was needed in
this case was for someone to take a
look at the child and his circum-
stances.
"Maybe if they had done that
they would have seen that he was
having difficulty dealing with his
mother's death he said. "There
just seemed to be very little atten-
tion to the individual child. No one
seemed to care
Anthony's family did not return

Tuesday, was charged with the

Charnae in 1997.
Police found the girl's skeletal

after Ms. Wise's oldest daughter

said the child was dead. The child's
remains weighed just 12 pounds.
Her son Dante Wise, 9, had tes-

belt buckles, fists and hair brushes.
Ms. Wise broke down sobbing in

Baseball coach
LeClair wins honor
Blaise Deniis
senior writer
Since
being
asked to
step up to
the plate
as the
Pirates'
head
baseball
coach two
seasons ago, Keith LeClair has
delivered a grand slam perfor-
mance at ECU.
After polling ECU coaches, stu-
dents, and athletes and researching
individual accomplishments,
LeClair has earned the 1999 TEC
Coach of the Year award. No
stranger to recognition or success,
LeClair is half-way through the '99
season and has already led his team
to their best stan since 1990 with a
28-6 (6-0) record. LeClair enters his
second season at ECU this year and
is coming off a 30-29 record in 1998.
Despite all of his awards and popu-
larity, LeClair remains modest and
is rather surprised at TEC's deci-
sion to name him coach of the year.
"I certainly appreciate it
LeClair said. "It's a little premature
when we've only played half our
season, but I appreciate the fact
that I guess people think we have
done a good job. To me it's not so
much an award for a coach as it is
for a team
Even though coaches often
receive the praise and honor for the
success of a team, LeClair believes
the players are the key. He gives his
players here at ECU the majority of
the credit for the achievements he
has made as the Pirates' frontman.
"I think good
players make up
good teams
LeClair said.
"To me that's
what it's all
about, it's not so
much an individ-
ual award as it is
a team thing.
Good players
make you suc-
cessful and I
think we work
hard, do the right
things and I
think the kids
know what we
are trying to
accomplish

Cheerleaders put
up top performance
Controversial penalty
proves costly
Morgan Hefner
staff writer
The ECU cheerleading squad trav-
eled to Daytona over Easter break
and put on a top 10 performance.
The ECU cheerleaders compet-
ed with 22 other universities for the
national championship, but due to a
penalty, they finished 18th.
Before the penalty was accessed
to trier scores the Pirates had put up
a score well enough to place them
10th and secure them a spot in the
final round. Only the top 10 teams
in the preliminaries advance to the
finals.
The Pirate cheerleaders were
charged with a safety penalty. The
premise of the penalty is that when
having a pyramid of two and a half
or higher, a squad must have a spot
on both the front and back sides.
The ECU squad had only one side
with a spot. This was the cause of
the deduction. However, the pyra-
mid in the routine was only two
high, thus not warranting a spot on
both the front and back.
The cheerleaders and their
coach protested the judges' deci-
sion, but to no avail.
"It was terrible said Russ
Saputo, squad member. "We had a
score good enough to beat Florida
State
Everyone on the team was really
pleased with the overall perfor-
mance of the group.
"We did really well and every-

Walker, captain, "It was just that

six seasons at WCU, he

the Catamounts to
three Southern
Conference regular-sea-
son championships (1992,
93, 97) and four Southern
Conference Tournament
championships (1992, 93, 94,
97). He also earned his team at
WCU four NCAA Regional berths
(1992, 93, 94, 97). LeCIair's .
coaching success at WCU did
not go unrecognized as he was
honored with three Southern
Conference coach of the year
awards (1992,94,97).
LeClair was successful
as a coach for the
Catamounts, as well as a
player. From 1985-88,
LeClair was a key player

the Southern

named to the All-

1988 and holds the
'single-season records

"Hard work and
dedication, being

Fifth year senior, Michelle Clayton
has taken the track world by storm.
Clayton entered what is to be
her last year competing in the
ECU's signature purple and gold
colors and she has
set her goals
accordingly.
"My goals were

championship in
the hammer throw
and to qualify for

Clayton.
Clayton
achieved her first
goal by winning
the ECAC for the
hammer throw
during the indoor
season and is cur-
rently ranked 14th
in the nation, but plans to surpass
the competition. This season alone,
she has broken three school records
in the hammer, shot and discus, and
has also set the meet record while
at the Duke Invitational for the
hammer.
Clayton has routinely finished in
among the top collegiat competi-
tors at this season's meets. Over the
course of the season she has earned
the respect of her teammates and
her opponents.

Monday the Lady Pirates tennis
team lost to a nationally ranked
N.C. State team 8-1.
The Wolfpaek women's tennis
team is ranked No. 64 nationally.
The match was played at the
Wolfpaek Tennis Complex where
the N.C. State team has suffered
few losses this season.
All six singles were swept by the
N.C. State squad. The closest
matches were at No. 1 singles and
No. 4.
Hrushida Kamthe lost 3-6, 3-6
and Meredith Spears went down 4-
6, 4-6. The Wolfpaek has several
players that were nationally ranked
in the juniors and who have had
much big match experience. This
experience proved fatal to the lady
Pirates in the singles competition.
The No. 1 doubles team of
Kamthe and Asa Ellbring, who
have showed great cohesion this
season, posted the only victory for
the lady Pirates. The duo was victo-
rious over the Wolfpaek team of
Pilar Piana and Francie Barragan.
The match was close, but the lady
Pirates stood victorious in the end
with a score of 8-6.
The other two doubles matches
were not as positive for the lady
Pirates, losing at No. 2 and No. 3
doubles to formidable opponents.
The players on the team took
the loss in stride.
"It is good for us to play teams
that are better than us, so we know
what to work on said Catherine
Morgan, senior.
Some students responded to the
match positively as well.
"I am glad that the singles
matches were as close as they
were said Kendra Johnson, fresh
man.

Ken Griffey Jr. receives contract offer from Mariners
SEATTLE (AP)?The Mariners
have offered centerfielder Ken
Griffey Jr. an array of contract alter-
natives worth at least $105 million,
a newspaper reported.
Griffey told The Seattle Times
he had not yet responded formally
to the team's multiple offers, all of
which reportedly would reach the
level of Kevin Brown's record
seven-year, $105 million contract
with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
"Just to get it done? I don't think
so, not with two years on my pre-
sent contract he told The Times,
which earned a story Monday about
the offers.
Griffey refused to confirm the
offers to The Associated Press.
"I'm tired of all the questions
about my contract. If I'm not wor-
ried about it, I don't think anyone
else should be Griffey told The
AP just after batting practice before
Monday night's home opener.
"Why don't we just let myself
and Alex Rodriguez, whose con-
tract also ends in 2000 play base-
ball? It's 1999, let's worry about
what happens on the field. All I
want to do is play baseball and not
think about contracts. You guys are
not going to be able to figure me
out because there's nothing to fig-
ure out
Chuck Armstrong, the team
president who has handled the
intermittent negotiations with
agents for Griffey and Rodriguez,
was out of town on family business.
General manager Woody
Woodward would only confirm that
there were ongoing negotiations.
"I've said all along there are
negotiations going on. But I'm not
going to talk about it now. It's open-
ing night Woodward told The AP.
Griffey downplayed the dollar
figure while talking to The Times.
"It ain't about money he said.
He's been in Seattle for 10 years
and still hasn't won the World
Series he dreams about.
"And I'm not getting any
younger he said. "The one thing
you can't buy in this game is that
ring
He said he worries about what
the team will do about other play-
ers: Jay Buhner, Edgar Martinez,
Dan Wilson, David Segui and
Jamie Moyer.
"All of them are up at the end of
this year. If they all go unsigned, I
hope the Mariners don't expect
Alex and I to play with six, seven
guys we don't even know
He said he would object if the
Mariners tried to trade star short-
I
stop Rodriguez at the end of thej-
season.
"Everyone believes I will be thejj
one to stay, that I will be easier to ?
sign than Alex That is not neces- J
sarily true Griffey said. "They;
have six or seven other guys to sign J
before they deal with us, and there
isn't one of them who wouldtrt j
defer money to help us win"
And winning is the most impor- j
rant thing to Griffey.
"I want this to be the Mariners
year for so many reasons he said. j

continuid (torn pigi It
LeClair much recognition and pop-
ularity around the Greenville area.
After a three game sweep of CAA
conference rival William and Mary
over the weekend, the Pirates
' moved up to 20 in the "Baseball
America" poll and to 26 in the
ESPNUSA Today Coaches poll.
The Pirates were last ranked
nationally when they came in 23rd
in the "Baseball America" poll on
March 29, 1990. Even though the
national ranking spotlight has given
the Pirates much recognition and
boosted attendance at Harrington
Field, LeClair still concentrates on
the big picture.
"I think you have to try and take
it day in and day out and if you're
ranked that's great and if not you
know what you have to do
LeClair said. "Keep everything in

perspective and don't get caught up
and you can achieve things on an
individual or a daily basis and that is
what you have to do in athletics
Although LeClair tries not to put
too much emphasis on the rank-
ings, he understands what an honor
it is to be included in the national
polls. According to LeClair, it's
good to give the ECU baseball pro-
gram some national notoriety and
he believes that the rankings are a
reward for the outstanding perfor-
mance of this year's Pirate team.
"We've still got a ways to go to
achieve our goals, but I think it's
very deserving for our players and
the time and effort they put into
the program up to this point and
time LeClair said. "Hopefully we
will be ranked at the end of the year
when it really counts
There are many coaches at ECU
who have shared the level of suc-
cess LeClair has and some of these
coaches have nominated him as
their choice for coach of the year.
These coaches are impressed with
LeClair's quick rise to fame in just
his second season at ECU and
women's head basketball coach
Dee Gibson is one of these individ-
uals.
"I think it's the first time we've
been ranked in a long time)"
Gibson said. "He has done a phe-
nomenal job and really turnedthe
program around
LeClair's hard work and effort
have helped to encourage more
ECU students support Pirate base-
ball and follow the team's perfor-
mance this season. The Pirates'
record against their ACC foes under
LeClair's leadership also gained
recognition among ECU's student
population.
"The way he has beat up the
ACC teams this year has been great
for the fans said Christy Pratt, a
senior at ECU. "I am really
impressed with how far the team

Mijatovic fined for boycott
MADRID, Spain (AP) ? Real
Madrid has fined Yugoslav striker
Predrag Mijatovic 5 million pesetas
(dlrs 32,000, 30,000 euros) for boy-
cotting Sunday's game to protest
NATO air strikes against his home-
land.
"The club respects and under-
stands Mijatovic's situation, but he
cannot refuse to play team
spokesman Antonio Mendez said.
The fine is the maximum under
Real Madrid rules.
Mijatovic is from Montenegro,
one of the two republics in
Yugoslavia along with Serbia, and
his family lives in Belgrade. He said
he and other Yugoslav players
around the league felt they had to
help their compatriots.
"I respect the sanction fine but
don't agree with it- I'm disappoint-
ed the 30-year-old Mijatovic said.
"I will try to concentrate for the
next game against Cclta, but right
now I don't guarantee I will play
The club warned Mijatovic he
may be thrown off the team if he
continues his sit out
Spanish news reports said Real
Madrid President Lorenzo Sanz
also was irritated by Mijatovic's
presence at a demonstration
Sunday outside the U.S. Embassy
in Madrid, where the player was
seen wrapped in a Yugoslav flag.
Sanz argued that the club should
not get involved in politics.
Five other Yugoslav players,
including Slavisa Jokanovic of
Tenerife, Albert Nadj of Oviedo
and Goran Djorovic of Celta, also
refused to play Sunday. None have
been punished although some are
expected to be in the coming days.
Mijatovic, a member of the
Yugoslav nadonal team who has
been with Real Madrid since 19
and has played in the Spanish first
.division since 1993, scored the only
goal in last year's European
Champions Cup final against
Juventus that gave Real its first tide
since 1966.

Wohler's struggles continue
ATLANTA (AP) Mark
Wohlers pitched well enough in
spring training to make Atlanta's
opening-day roster. He still seems a
Ion way from reclaiming his role as
the Braves closer.
Wohlers, trying to rebound from
a disastrous season, walked four and
gave up two runs in two-thirds of an
inning Monday as the Braves lost
their opener to Philadelphia 7-4.
Afterward, he cursed at reporters in
the clubhouse. "I don't want to dis-
sect everything I do he said
before stalking away. That's hardly
a realistic stance. Wohlers, who
saved 97 games for the Braves from
1995-97, inexplicably lost sight of
the strike zone last season. He had
a 10.18 ERA for the Braves, walk-
ing 33 in 20 1-3 innings, and was
even worse after going back to
Triple-A Richmond 36 walks in
12 1-3 innings and a 20.43 ERA.
After struggling in the early
weeks of spring training, Wohlers
seemed to regain in his form as the
season neared, earning a spot on the
25-man roster. He retired the
Cleveland Indians 1-2-3 in the final
exhibition game to earn his second
save of the spring.
In the opener, Atlanta trailed the
Phillies 5-4 going to the ninth when
manager Bobby Cox summoned
Wohlers from the bullpen to keep
the game close. The reliever
received a thunderous, standing
ovation from the 47,522 fans, at
Turner Field.
"I had some goose bumps
Wohlers said. That means a lot.
But I want to get guys out
He needed only one pitch to get
the first out, Mike Lieberthal on a

Desi Relaford then walked on
four pitches and stole second
before pinch-hitter Kevin Jordan
grounded to third. Chipper Jones
threw out the hitter at first, but
Relaford broke for third and trotted
home when first baseman Ryan
Klesko made a high throw back
across the diamond trying to get the
runner.
The error seemed to unnerve
Wohlers, who walked Doug
Glanvillc before Marlon Anderson
doubled off the center-field wall to
bring home another run. Wohlers
walked the next two hitters, Scott
Rolen and Rico Brogna, and Cox
mercifully emerged from the
dugout to remove the pitcher.
Wohlers threw 31 pitches only
11 were strikes.
"We put him in a very important
situation and the strike zone got
away from him Cox said. "We'll
have to wait and see. He threw so
many good innings during spring
training, I'd hate to say it all went
for naught. We'll get him in some
more situations and hope we can
get him back to where he was dur-

Wohlers muttered several pro-
fanities and stormed away from his
locker.

When you've seen Letter man drop a bowling ball off a building a
thousand times, or when staring at Jay Leno's chin starts lulling
you to sleep, it's time for a drastic change in your late-night view-
ing habits. Ever wish you had another choice?
Students are starting to rune into "The Late News a blatantly off-
color news and comedy show produced by ECU communications
majors, which airs Monday and Wednesday nights at 11:30 on
PCTV, channel 68.
"The Late News" is the brainchild of Adam Owens, Gabriel Lawlis
and Todd Riddick, who may have started started what will
become Greenville's latest media and entertainment trend.
"I've done a little filming, bad acting, says Riddick, who acts as
the show's audio manDuring the show I cue up the commer-
cials and the skits and that type of thing
Lawlis, who produces and directs the show, interacts with Owens
on the air as necessary.
"Adam's the main host; I'm almost like the cohostdirector. 1 just
sit there and remark he says.
"We have a website thafs coming dose to one thousand hits, and
it's only been up there a few weeks says Owens, who hosts the
show.
The website began advertising the news show before the first
scheduled filming on March 1, but word-of-mouth and recogni-
tion is starting to increase viewership.
"We get spotted on campus a lot says Owens.

Band Review
2 Skinnee fs throw
down NY style
tan got to
Patrick "Sparkles" McMahon
Staff Writer
Dammit, Dammit, Dammit. Why is
it that every time I go downtown to
review a really good band, they have
to have an opening act that shows
them up? I mean, you would think
that they would at least have the
brains to set up the crowd with a
mediocre band to get the fans in the
mood for music but nooo-oooo.
Live from the venue that Playboy
ranked in the top 100 of the nation's
college bars, the Attic, comes 2
Skinnee J's in all their intcrgalactic,
galaxy-melting glory. But as with all
of my concert reviews, I must give
at least a little ink to the opening
act, Kottonmouth Kings, out of LA.
The Kottonmouths are a coalition of
bas-assed white guys who seem to
have inhaled a few too many bongs
hits of that wacky tobacky. These
guys came out to heatbeat-altering
bass and drums, and threw down
for the entire 40-minute set. Think
Rage Against the Machine with the
political button turned down a cou-
ple of notches combined with
Cypress Hill's love of buddha (the
plant, not the guy) and you can
come to a solid conclusion as to
what the Kings are all about. I have
to admit they put on a great show,
but it's what happened to me after
the show that pissed me off. More
on that later.
So now on to the real band of the
night, the infamous 2 Skinnee J's,
hailing out of good old NYC. As
anyone who has ever been to a 2
Skinnee's show can tell you, the
front row is not a place for the faint
of heart. Rampant moshing and
body slamming is not exactly the
best thing to surround yourself with
if you're good and sober, as I was
(hey, I had to be conscious to review

"Volunteers" is classic Hanks material
Ryan Kennemur
StaffWriter
There was a time, albeit long ago,
that Tom Hanks wasn't the superstar
mega-actor that he is today. Now he
plays such memorable characters as
"Forrest Gump the head astronaut
in "Apollo 13 and that military guy
that saved Matt Damon. But I
remember him fondly as the wise-
cracking and cynical funnyman in
such movies as "SplashThe Money
Pit" and "Bachelor Party? The best
of his movies of that era, in my opin-
ion, was the little-seen gem
"Volunteers
Tom Hanks is absolutely great as the
self-centered rich boy who flees to
the Peace Corps to evade being
killed for his gambling debts. He
gets a chance to show off his keen
lorn Hank! stars in this comedy
sense of comic timing, which is one
thing he doesn't get to do these days.
The Tom Hanks we know these days
would never resort to cheap laughs
these days, but lam living proof that
there is an audience for it.
The plot is this: it's the late 60s and
Laurence Bourne HI (Hanks) is
about to graduate from Yale. During
his college career, he has racked up a
gambling debt of $30,000, the whole
while believing that his rich father
would take care of it. Of course, the
father says no, and so Laurence
trades places with his roommate
and goes to Thailand with the Peace
Corps. On the plane trip over, he
meets Tom Turtle from Tacoma
(John Candy) who is a little too
gung-ho about being in the Peace
Corps for Laurence's liking. He

'Carrie 2"i griily icanas and clavw dnamatooraphy mite for a not HHmdiocre sequel
D. Miccah Smith
Fountainhead Editor
Once in a long while a sequel comes
along that is nearly as entertaining
as the original movie. In horror, this
rarely happens. But Carrie 2 is as
close as it's come in years.
Rachel is a teenager with a tattoo, a
basset hound, a best friend and a
terrible secret she possesses the
same mental powers used by Carrie
to destroy her high school more than
20 years ago.
But things are a bit different this
time around: Rachel is at least
socially skilled, and has the ability to
make friends. And instead of a psy-
cho mother who screams, "They're
all going to laugh at you she's got
two laconic foster parents.
Things seem almost normal for our
heroine, until her friend gets deflow-
ered by a crass guy looking to score,
and jumps off the roof of their high
school out of depression.
With the sickeningly realistic crack
of her head shattering a car wind-
shield, this scene jump-starts a plot
filled with intrigue, revenge and ill-
fated love as Rachel's tame existence
takes a sharp slant towards the
macabre.
As the sole survivor of Carrie's fiery
rampage, Sue Snell (played again by
Amy Irving) has become the high
school's guidance counselor. She
tries to help Rachel deal with her
telekinetk powers, and to avert her
anger at the boy whose insensitivity
led to her friend's suicide, but Rachel
will accept no help.
Meanwhile Rachel falls in love with a
recovering sexaholic jock, and his
friends, whose skirt-chasing exploits
have been the ruination of several
freshmen, scheme to degrade her.
As the action intensifies, flashes of
the original "Carrie" movie's final
scenes.combined with surrealistic
black-and-white sequences, prepare
the audience for the bloodbath to
come.
In traditional "Carrie" style, Rachel is
made the belle of a party, then pub-
licly humiliated. Naturally Rachel,
who resembles nothing more than a
pissed young Sigoumey Weaver,
unleashes her powers on the hapless
teenagers. Details like the throbbing
tattoo of a heart on her arm, and a
vine stigmata that pops out around
her neck and face, add an over-the-
top spookiness to her that's no buck-
et of pig's blood, but does the job.
Ill just say that Pve never seen a guy
take that long to drown, and i never
knew spear-guns could be used that
way.
And here's a little reminder in case
you've forgotten how the original
"Carrie" ended: don't take your eyes
off the screen until the credits roll, or
you'll miss the best part.

Q) Review
NW& hits CD has all
the good stuff
Ryan Kennemur
Rapper
If you were to ask me what rap artist
paved the way for the urban rhyme-
slingers of today, I'd have a hard time
deciding on just one. Of course I'd have
to say Grandmaster Flash and the
Sugarhill Gang, because they got the
ball rolling. Then, I'd go towards Public
Enemy, because they made it into a
statement rather than just a long child-
ish poem. I'd then head on over to see
Run-DMC, for they took rap to a new
level by fusing street-wise lyrics with
rock and roll, all the while keeping it a
style all their own with the Adidas
shoes (which they even wrote a song
about) and suits.
By the late 80s, however, rap had
become stapled to violence and street
crime. What does a good businessman
do? That's right! Rappers went where
the action was, and thus was bom a
new term called "Gangsta Rap The
figurehead of this movement was a
supergroup called N WA, or "Niggaz
With Attitude This "chorale" of sorts
was made up of Dr. Dre, Eazy-E, ice
Cube, MC Ren, and Yella. With their
violent lyrics and profanity, the group
was an instant success. But with this
success came trouble. When their
album was banned in a few states and
many arrests disrupted the group, the
boyz called it quits in just short of four
years.
Disbanded and disengaged from every-
thing around them, the members start-
ed out on their solo work. Priority
Records has just released a new two-
disc set that chronicles their efforts, as
well as their offshoots and prodigies,
apdy titled "The NWA Legacy"
The best person to start with is, of
course. Dr. Dre. His album "The
Chronic" is considered by many to be
the best rap album, not to mention
most influential, to ever grace the CD
racks. On it, he incorporated the help
of the D.O.C, Rage, Bushwick Bill,
Kurupt, Daz, cousin Warren G and the
immortal Snoop Doggy Dogg. He later
produced Snoop's first album
"Doggystyle" and then the soundtrack
to Murder Was the Case.

The Nashville Bhiegrass Band
"Don't forget your roots" is a popular
saying these days, lfyouareafirm
believer in this doctrine, and you
like country music, you should take
a liking to bluegrass. The Nashville
Bluegrass band has been stomping
out fine bluegrass since 1984 and
they are still going strong. Their
upbeat music displays an immense
musical talent and lyrical genius.
What to Expect: A group of older
men with guitars, banjos, man-
dolins, fiddles, etc. dressed to the hik
in their Sunday suits singing praises
and songs about getting away with
murder in the typical bluegrass
murder ballad.

ODDITIES
Coyote caught in Central Park
NEW YORK (AP) What sounded like a
April FooTs hoax was no joke: A coyote
was felled by a tranquilizer dart after
roaming Central Park for two days.
Henry Stern, the parks commissioner
known for goofy publicity stunts, had
to persuade skeptics that the animal
sighting was real.
That became evident shortly before
noon Thursday, when after a frantic
flight through part of the 2.5-mile long
park, the frightened coyote got itself
trapped inside the fenced-in Hallett
bird sanctuary, just steps from busy
Fifth Avenue.
After a half-hour pursuit, Officer Steve
Collins zapped the animal with a dart
from about 10 feet away. Still not done,
the quicksilver quadruped escaped by
swimming across a pond, passed
skaters at Wollman rink, and raced
eight blocks north before collapsing in
a grassy area think he was suprised
to see everybody. He's not used to peo-
pleCollins said.
Parks spokesman Edward Skyler said
the coyote was healthy except for the
dart. He said it was sent to the Bronx
Zoo, where it would rest before being
examined today. It will then be
returned to the wild or placed in a zoo,
Skyler said. Its sex and weight were not
immediately known.
Kyle Burkhart, a spokesman for the
Center for Animal Care and Control,
said the coyote posed no threat to
humans but might have attacked a dog
or cat.
Some passersby were blase' about the
coyote caper.
"Up in the country we have coy-dogs
(mixed breeds),but I know animals
and 1 can't picture a coyote choosing
Manhattan as its home base said
Ginny Schroder, who was walking two
Labradors, an Irish setter, a golden
retriever and border collie.
"It's not a big deal - we see them all
the time, crossing the road, in our back
yard said Peter Gordon, a school-
teacher chaperoning a student group
from Palm Springs, Calif.
Audubon magazine says some 400,000
coyotes are killed annually in the
United States, mostly in the West
where they are reviled as livestock
killers. Increasingly, the hardy species
has spread east.
Stern said coyotes have been seen in
Westchester County, on Long Island
and on a couple of occasions in the
Bronx, but this was the first confirmed
sighting in Central Park, which it could
have reached only by crossing a bridge
or traversing a rail tunnel.
Skyler said a parks employee had spot-
ted a coyote two days earlier in
Riverside Park, a mik or more to the
north, but didn't report it until after
the Central Park sighting.
Stern said there were signs the coyote
found shelter under a rock ledge in the
bird sanctuary, a stone's throw from
Fifth Avenue's luxurious Hotel Pierre.
Young elk calls a herd family
OURAY, Cokx (AP) A young elk adopt-
ed by a group of Holstein cows after
he was abandoned by his herd has
quickly become the talk of the town.
The confused yearling caught the
attention ofOuray residents in
October when other elk in his herd
jumped a pasture fence, leaving him
stranded with the cattle.
For weeks he lingered along US. 550,
gazing eastward where the other elk
had last been seen heading towards
the mountains.
But when Jeff Woolston began bring-
ing in hay to feed his cattle, the scruffy
brown elk decided to join the gang -
no matter they were plump, black-
and-white Holsteins.
6 Thursday, April 8.1999
"For a while, he was all stressed out,
but now he sticks right with the cows.
He's one of the crowd Woolston said.
The young elk, named Isabulla by
Ouray residents, now bounds up to
the truck behind the cattk when
Woolston pulls up with hay.
He's started acting like one of the herd
in other ways, as well, nuzzling, licking
and frolicking with the cows, who
have welcomed him in.
Now, everyone in Ouray is keeping an
eye oil the town's new celebrity.
If Isabulla cannot Ik seen from the
highway, the Wooistons' phone starts
ringing with people who want to
know where he is, ?. .
The parks boss, who likes to assign
nicknames to everyone, said there
were "several possibilities" for the coy-
ote. "One is "Lucky Pierre because of
where he lived - and he is very fortu-
nate that he escaped injury he said.

Wexler (Hanks' future wife Rita
Wilson) whom he takes a liking to.
The problem is that she is there
because she wants to be, whereas
Laurence continually makes state-
ments likeIts not that 1 cant help

Their mission is to build a bridge to
the other side of the river in a small
waterfront village. What they don't
know, however, is that the Thailand
underground drug-ring is counting
on the bridge to expand their busi-
ness, as they plan to turn the small
village into an airport. At any rate,
Tom and Beth start to build the
bridge, and Laurence teaches the
natives to gamble. He meets a
young native named At Toon, who
learned English while in a Beijing
school. As the bridge begins to look
more and more like a bridge, Tom
Ibttle is kidnapped and brain-
washed by a underground rebel
group determined to overthrow the
government.
As the truth unfolds before the
Peace Corps helpers, a love interest
bubbles up between Beth and
Laurence, as she begins to look past
his cynical and sarcastic exterior. In
the end, all of the conflicts (the drug
ring, the underground rebel alliance,
and the fact that the villagers weren't
too crazy about the idea of a bridge
in the first place) are resolved in a
huge earth-rattling explosion.

ARIES:
(March 21-April 20)
Keeping secrets won't get you far this
week. Your information could make
or break a situation, so don't with-
hold what you know. There is a
career move for you in the very near
future, but it will be quite a large step
to take, so embark with caution and
optimism.
TAURUS:
(April21-May21)
You have a chance to create a solid
foundation for future security. Be
careful to avoid getting caught up in
getting ahead at the expense of your
peace of mind or creating havoc
within your family. Don't jump to
conclusions with romance, take it a
step at a time.
GEMINI:
(May 22-June 21)
Make sure to not commit yourself to
something that may stifle and hold
you back. Don't stall in your deci-
sions, just say you are not ready and
leave it at that. There seems to be
some tension between you and your
mate, when you kiss and make up,
talk honestly.
CANCER:
(June 22-July 23)
You seem to have a restless sort of
irritability, which may just get you
into trouble. It's important to keep
your anger in check or you may find
yourself cutting off those who are
most important to you. Your current
romantic partner may surprise you
with lots of attention.
LEO:
(July 24- August 23)
You are doing a great job making
finances stretch to their limit, but
enough is enough, ami something
has got to go. If you haw the authori-
ty to make the cut, go for it. Changes
at work may have you feeling like
you have been overlooked, but that is
far from true.
VIRGO:
(August 24-September 23)
A recent investment may prove
much more lucrative than you ever
expected, but getting out early may
not be such a bad idea. Be sure to
take are of all the details though,
however insignificant they may be. If
you are feeling unmotivated, find a
way to psyche yourself up.
LIBRA:
(September 24 - October 23)
Juggle your funds to the best of your
abilities, you might consider consoli-
dating your debts so you have only
one payment to deal with. Any home
repairs now will probably be quite
costly. Emphasize what you have in
your life that brings you enjoyment
and satisfaction.
SCORPIO:
(October 24 - November 22)
Your intuitive hunches are right on,
so don't justify them away. Emotions
which have been held in check for
some time need to be unleashed
now. Allow yourself to express what
you feel inside, striving to maintain a
sense of proportion - things aren't so
bad
SAGITTARIUS:
(November 23 - December 21)
Any risks concerning money this
week will be well worth the effort. Is
there someone trying to hold you
back under the false impression that
it is for your own good? It's time to
make those decisions on your own.
Ifyou are being manipulated by
another, its time to go it alone.
CAPRICORN:
(December 22 - January 20)
This week your passions may get the
best of you and anger your mate. If
you are,at the very least, aware of
this possibility, it can probably fore-
stall any unpleasantness. If stress
has gotten you down, take time for a
rather childlike activity, helping you
to relax.
AQUARIUS:
(January 21 - February 19)
Rethink the reasons for your motiva-
tion in the workplace - you may
need some alterations to previous
plans. Listen to your inner voice for
suggestions. Do the right thing when
watching out for others, especially
family members. What is it you real-
ly want out of life, and how are you
going to get it?
PISCES:
(February 20-March 20)
Someone needs to smooth out the
rough patches created by an argu-
ment, and you are best suited for the
job. Following the rules may make
you seem cold-hearted, so have a lit-
tle compassion for those around you.
Don't keep any secrets if the infor-
mation can be well used.
IF THIS WEEK IS
YOUR BIRTHDAY:
It's a good time to discuss any emo-
tional issues with a significant other.
Clear the air of any obstacles, and
you may be quite surprised at how
easily the conversation flows. Now
that the lines of communication are
open, make every effort to keep
them this way.
SkmttJ, continued from page 2
the show, right?)
Dressed in their red Mork outfits, they
blasted right through their new
album, jamming out hits like "718"
and the uber-motivational
"Champion But for all their hits and
energy, it was actually an old ballad
that made the crowd stop beating
each other to death and stand in
amazement: they broke out the old
Bon Jovi hitWanted Dear or Alive"
before an absolutely stunned crowd.
It was downright amusing to see all
those drunken baboons trying so des-
perately to sing along with the song
without spilling the remainder of their
Bud Lights and burning the people
next to them with their cigarettes. In
all, they put on one hell of a perfor-
mance and are worthy of your cash
the next time they grace us with their
presence.
Now back to those bastards, the
KmtonmouthKings.AllIaskedfor
was a quick little interview with the
band so I could find out a little more
about them so maybe I could scam a
free CD and review it for you guys
right here in The Fountainhead
They were complete asses about the
interview and towards any member of
the male gender they were the same.
They came off to me as cocky bas-
tards who didnt think their poop
stinks. On that note, I say screw
Kottonmouth. But to all the Skinnee's
out there, you guys are truly unique.
Oh, and thank you to Stumpy of i le
Skinnecs for making sure my frit "1
had a sober ride after the show. That
was really decent of you.
