See page 7. THURSDAY. APRIL 15.1999 VOLUME 74, ISSUE 40 Yahoo drops university from Most Wired list School no longer ranked in top 100 AN IS A Gil R.MR I STAKF WRITER ECU has dropped off the list of most wired universities. The May issue of Yahoo! Internet Life has selected The Top 100 Most Wired Campuses in the nation. Three hundred colleges and universities were evaluated based on four cate- gories: social use, academic use, hardware and wiring and student services. In 1997, ECU was 93rd, then shot up to 25th in 1998. This year this university didn't even make the cut. "I don't know why we aren't on the top 100 list said Ernie Marshburn, director of Strategic Initiatives. "I think ECU is very well placed, as far as technology goes Yahoo! did- n't do a whole lot to let us know why we didn't place or where we stand with other North Carolina universities. Because grad- ing criteria and technology change yearly, so do the numbers. Last year's rat- ings were based on social use, but focused pri- marily on the academic bene- fits of using the net. ECU did well because it met all including online registration and online dropadd. Recently the criteria did not focus on these and ECU's standing suf- fered because of it. " think ECU is very well placed, as far as technology goes Ernie Marshburn director nl Strategic Initiatives in this category of the criteria. "The uni- versities are a moving target because of changes in the criteria said Dr. Darrvl Davis, dean at the School of Industry and technology. "Some categories we arc strong in, but others we arc not like game surfing part of the social criteria So, who made it into the top five? Case Western Reserve took the top position, while MIT, Wake Forest, New Jersey Institute of Technology and Rensselaer Polytechnic followed respectively. Experts said it is a great accom- plishment to make it on the list because it shows that the institution has a commitment to raising its level of technology. "ECU is more of a comprehen- sive university, not very technical like a lot of the other schools on the list who focus a lot on computers Davis said. Tim Murphy, computer science major, thinks there are substantial reasons for the low ranking this year. "The computer labs at ECU are out of date, a lot of untrained staff in the labs, students using the schools computers for mostly e-mail and not for academic purposes, and not enough money is put toward computer technology Students concerned for safety after dark No plans to move parking closer to classes A.n WitAik SSIS 1 S I KS I 1)1 I Night classes begin at 6:30 p.m. Most run till 9:30 p.m and some- times even longer. Some students have said that they are concerned about safely getting to their car in the dark after class. According to Shirley Bazemore, Parking and Traffic Control officer, there arc Iparking lots that are not open to students until 6:30 p.m. such as the lot next to Rawl, where many night classes are held. , "These arc private parking lots Bazemore said. "If they have a reg- istered vehicle, they can park there But there are other places to park before 6:30 p.m to avoid being tardy to class. According to Bazemore, all regis- tered cars except freshmen can park in the Brewster staff lot and in the lot behind Speight after 4 p.m. All other lots open at 5 or 7 p.m. If stu- dents' cars are not university regis- tered, or arc parked there before these times, then they might receive a ticket. Bazemore said that ticketing goes on from 5:30 a.m. to midnight. Students who have night classes said they feel that this puts their safety in jeopardy. "Even though the parking lots arc pretty well lit, I still don't like it w hen I have to walk to my car alone after class said LaToya Washington, a senior majoring in business. Bruce Flye, director of Facilities Planning, says that there are no plans to move parking closer to night-class locations. "But measures have been taken to improve lighting and install new emergency call boxes Flye said. According to Flye, the new Rcadc Street lot will have addi- tional technological safety mea- sures to ensure that students arc as protected as possible. "(The Reade Street lot) will have the best lighting as of yet and will be equipped with security cameras Flye said. Richard Brown, vice chancellor for Administration and Finance, said that safety is a top priority for ECU, and that the campus is very safe. "No campus can be absolutely safe Brown said. "Considering we are in an urban area that is high- ly populated, there is the potential for dangerous situations Some students agree and said they do not fear for their safety on campus after dark. "I know it's not the best idea, but I walk around campus alone after dark often enough, and I've never felt unsafe said Rachel Jenu, freshman. But not everyone is so opti- mistic. "I hate walking to my car after class at 9:30 said Chrissy Buckley, sophomore. "They need to do something before someone gets hurt Brown said he feels that stu- dents also have a responsibility to themselves for their own safety. "The real key to safety is per- sonal responsibility and people act- ing responsibly Brown said. "If you look at police records you notice most accounts of crime occur after midnight and alcohol is involved Volunteers learn life's lessons Program promotes students' volunteerism Jessica Reed s T F V. RI T E R Somewhere in Greenville a student is picking up trash, act- ing as a community counselor or playing basketball with a kid. And that person is just one of the more than 7,000 students volun- teers at ECU. The ECU Student Volunteer Program promotes volunteerism among college students and pro- vides them with opportunities to volunteer at 80 health and human service agencies in the community. Students cite several reasons for volunteering opportunity to options, ti learning arid JVim experience; jpsiiild a most i enccj' n i image; ty Bal "Agencies in th continue to tell TSejy their .studmr volume ing the difference Students who volu'i the university sponsoj arc provided with insuf charge.

"It's becoming something use- ful on a job application, even if it's not tied with your major Barnes said. The program keeps records of the volunteer work done by stu- dents for references and resumes. Barnes said that volunteering requires someone with lots of ener- gy and ability to communicate and coordinate effectively. April 19-24 is National Volunteer Week.

Computer-based GRE exams to replace traditional test method Last pen, paper testgpven this month Tarvn Sikkema staff writer A computer-based general test for the Graduate Record Exam is replacing the traditional paper based general test as of fall 1999. The last paper based test will be administered this month. After this date, students will be required to take the test via computer. Both exams last 3.5 hours, cost $96, cover the same content and use the same types of questions. But, the computer-based test uses fewer questions than before. Now the test is automatically adapted to the individual and is tailored to the test taker's performance and ability as the test progresses. This new feature has many students excited. "I think this will show the stu- dents' aptitude better said Brad Calhoun, a senior planning on attending graduate school. "Some people are justbetter at math than others At the begin- ning of the exam, test tak- ers are given questions of equal difficulty. Using that information, the computer adjusts the next question to the participant's ability. The response determines the level of difficulty of the next question. Junior Beth Oels said she feels that computer-adaptive test are " feel as though I would do better I would be more con- fident and less discouraged advantageous to the individual. "I feel as though I would do better Oels said. "I would be more confi- dent and less Beth Oels discouraged Junior One of the more controver- sial features of the computer administered exam is the fact that once you choose an answer you can not go back. Junior Anna Cowperthwaite said she thinks that not being able to go back and check one's work is a point of concern. "I like to be thorough with my work, Cowperthaite said. "Without being able to check over my work, I feel that it puts more stress on the test taking process An individuals' score depends on the number of answered ques- tions, time allotted and the perfor- mance of the individual on the given questions. The questions are weighed according to their level of difficulty. Westmoreland savs that there are advantages to the computer- based exam, such as knowing the grade on the exam as soon as you complete the exam. "You know your scores before you leave Westmoreland said. Student Lynsey Durishin said that when you are scored based on your individual ability it is an advantage. And, because people think differently, not everyone can answer the same types of questions. "The test is more personal. This is a good way for your individuality to come out Durishin said Z Thurtdiy.

Killer bacterium on the rise in Singapore SINGAPORE (AP) � A common bacterium that causes respiratory tract infections has evolved into a killer bug that antibiotics cannot fight in Singapore, doctors and news reports said Tuesday. The number of cases of strepto- coccus pneumoniae bacterium that proved resistant to antibiotics shot up from 2 percent in 1991 to 43 per- cent in 1997, said Dr. Ling Moi Lin, a microbiologist at Singapore General Hospital. Edward "Mel" Markowski, a pro- fessor in the child development and family relations department, has been chosen as the 1999 winner of the Board of Governors Award for excellence in Teaching, the top teaching award presented by the board to one faculty member on each UNC campus. Markowski, who is also the chair of the North Carolina Marriage and Family Therapy Licensure Board was awarded this annual following a nomination by the chair person of his department,Cynthia Johnson. Applicants must also submit a port- folio which includes his or her Philosophy of Teaching statement, examples of course syllabi, letters written by colleagues and students, students' semester evaluations and a video tape of one of the candi- date's classes. Dr. Markowski, and alumni of Florida State University, has been with the university for 26 years. He has served as assistant dean, dean, chairperson of his department and professor Markowski initiated one of ECU's most prestigious master's opportunities, the marriage and family therapy program. This pro- gram requires 500 hours of actual client contact and 100 hours of supervision. A master's degree in this program can lead to a license from North Carolina as a family therapist. This program accepts only 12 students a year from all over the nation. This year, there were 40 applications. Faculty Members said these educational achievements, along with his popularity with students and faculty, led Markowski to win the Top Board of Governors Teaching Award. "Because of his commitment to teaching, learning and students, he has been here many years and is well respected said Dr. David Dosser. "He is creative , innovative and makes learning fun Markowski said he is proud of his award which reflects his love for his profession. "It means that perhaps I have been learning and getting better instead of just rising, plateauing and on a decline ever since Markowski said. "It's really an award I share with all the faculty and students. I know many teachers here who are excellent teachers and it's really a privilege accepting this award But, according to Markowski, the most rewarding thing about his job is the students. " I enjoy seeing the enthusiasm of students and their questions which make me learn by thinking about them and discussing them- having the students teaching me he said.

VATICAN CITY (AP) � Use of the "morning after" pill by rape victims is tantamount to abortion, a senior Vatican official said Tuesday, expressing church opposition to their distribution to Kosovo refugees by U.N. aid workers. He called the pill a "real abor- tion technique" that should not be confused with a contraceptive. The position stated by Monsignor Elio Sgreccia, vice pres- ident of the Pontifical Academy for Life, reflected the Vatican's firm opposition to abortion and its con- cern during the Bosnian civil war that rape victims would end their pregnancies. Sgreccia, writing in the Italian Roman Catholic daily newspaper Avvenire, was reacting to last week's announcement by the U.N. Population Fund that it was provid- ing emergency reproductive health kits for about 350,000 people. The agency's spokesman criti- cized the Vatican position Tuesday, saying the kits had nothing to do with abortions. "They're intended to save women's lives said Alex Marshall. "To drag this abortion debate into this is inhuman Reports of rape suffered by eth- nic Albanian women, who are over- whelmingly Muslim, have been increasing in recent days. British Foreign Secretary Robin Cook said Tuesday that reports indicate that young ethnic Albanian women are being separat- ed from refugee columns and sys- tematically raped at a Serb army camp near the Albanian border. Firsthand accounts from indi- viduals are also beginning to emerge. "I think many of the women are afraid to come forward an Italian doctor, Carlo Romanini, who recently returned from Albania, told a government briefing Tuesday. The U.N. Population Fund said in New York that the kits include equipment to deliver babies with- out medical facilities, pictorial instructions, morning after pills for rape victims and a variety of contra- ceptives. The Planned Parenthood Federation of America, which con- tributed50,000 to the kits, said it was "unconscionable" that the Vatican would express opposition to their distribution. The federation's president, Gloria Feldt, said it was particularly unthinkable to deny reproductive health care to women in need "when you take into consideration the horrible psychological and physical damage of sexual assault The Vatican official said it was important to distinguish between "the act of violence suffered and the reality of new human beings who have begun their life He rejected any comparison with the distribution of contracep- tive pills to nuns in the Congo in the 1960s, which he called "legiti- mate defense" against the possibil- ity of rape. Vatican critics often cite the case of the Congo in the 1960s as an example of the church willing to bend its rules against contracep- tion. Sgreccia's position was attacked by a leading woman member of Italy's Greens party, who said the Vatican's word could add to the suf- fering of the Kosovo women. "From the Vatican, which is so involved in the search for peace, we expect comfort for the suffering of women said Annamaria Procacci.

Well, it's not May yet, so April showers bring i April flowers. With spring comes many delightful things: warm weather, the end of the school ; year and, of course, flowers. Have you looked around campus and seen all of the flowers? Everywhere you look there are pink-laced trees and sunshine-yellow daffodils lining the sidewalks and buildings. It reminds us of how pretty this campus really is, despite all the abhorred construction. : These flowers were planted a long time ago, but it takes care to keep them � blooming year after year. It is good to see that the university has not forgotten this : essential part of our campus. Hey, they don't just care about flashy, high-tech struc- tures such as Sonic Plaza. The flowers are a cheap way to add grace to an already beautiful campus. It is nice to be able to walk around campus and admire the simple elegance of natural beauty. There are not just squirrels, stray cats and classroom buildings; there are gifts from Mother Nature to enjoy as well. These gifts, in turn, make the campus a more enjoyable place. If there were no flowers, grass or trees, just brick buildings and dirt paths, would people want to be there at anytime they didn't have to be? Probably not Whether they know it or not, natural beauty such as flowers make people want to spend time at a place�want to read a book by the fountain, or walk their dog around the mall. Many people are content to just to sit on the grass and take in some sun and gaze at the beautiful landscape. Think of how it must look to visiting high-school seniors who arc trying to decide which school to attend. Campus appearance alone helps to influence the minds of many young students. The lush scenery and colorful flowers only add to the aes- thetic charm of our school. So the next time you find yourself rushing to class, slow down and smell the flow- ers. Or, at least just look at them and enjoy their beauty. OPINION Christopher Coppedge Committing genocide in Kosovo Well I'm back once again, just in case anyone missed me. Spring-itis �has set in and I've been pretty lazy lately, but that's to be expected. My itory is that I have been undercov- er for the last couple of weeks, because I'm really a secret agent ;and all, researching something that I cannot mention at this time. What I will mention is something that I don't quite understand. The Kosovo crisis�what is it? The Serb leader, Slobodan Milosevic, is another crazy man "whose name I cannot pronounce. jMATO has decided that we should Jiate him and bomb him back to the stone age. American troops are being sent over to Yugoslavia to �fight this guy and what I can't fig- ure out is exactly why. What is our interest in Kosovo? I know the rea- son given is to stop the genocide. So essentially we are killing people in order to stop the killing of peo- ple. Is it just me or does this sound like a major contradiction? If I'm not mistaken this feud or civil war has been going on for centuries, so why have we gotten involved now? This is not a ploy by President Clinton to divert attention from his personal life�we are actually about to go to war. We fought against Communism in Vietnam, we fought for justice and oil in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, now it's genocide in Kosovo. The most interesting thing to me is that they are comparing this guy to Adolf Hitler. Hitler was also killing innocent people, but we did not just jump into the war. In fact, wc actually waited until we thought Hitler and Nazi Germany was a threat to the United States before jumping into the war, if I'm not mistaken. So what threat to us is Kosovo, or did we learn our lesson in World War II? An unfortunate product of this war is the possible joining of Russia with Yugoslavia. Apparently Russia may also have an American-hating political figure who is looking for the top position in Russia. Abo, the Russian mad- man is a former KGB agent who is friends with Saddam Hussein, that Iraq guy who we beat a couple of years ago. This whole situation looks bad because if all those American hating groups get togeth- er we'll have a new enemy. I don't totally agree with the United States' involvement over in Kosovo. I don't like the idea of an entire race being wiped out by a madman either. So we are involved in Kosovo, and nobody knows what the next move will be. Hopefully the best will come out of this and the fighting will stop. Then the Americans, Russians, Iraqis and all other countries can join in song while we eat chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream from Dairy Queen. flit Mid of ibe strosUr is ri (whaV's down there?) I LETTER to the Editor Shocked over Schatz dismissal As a former WZMB employee, I am disappointed but not shocked to learn of the details surrounding the firing of Marc Schatz as General Manager of WZMB. I spent three years at WZMB, much of this time working with Mr. Schatz and all of it dealing with the questionable competence and intentions of Paul Wright and the Media Board. Mr. Schatz is an excellent disc jock- ey and a conscientious worker. He has been deeply committed to exposing the WZMB listening audience to innovative, interesting music and has put tireless effort into discovering such music. He has also fought hard to overcome OPINION �� the persistent difficulties the sta- tion has had to face in recent years, namely employee absenteeism (especially problematic when involving disc jockeys) and the strangehold of a media board which has not been the least bit support- ive. While I do not have any firsthand exposure to the details of this par- ticular situation, I must say Mr. Schatz's account of the inappropri- ate methodology involved in his termination is consisted with the behavior of Paul Wright and, to a lesser extent, the media board dur- ing my tenure at the station. This certainly would not be the first time that these parties did not fol- low, or, for that matter, know the proper procedure to be followed in such situations. Hopefully, the media board will realize these errors and reinstate Mr. Schatz. Sincerely, Jeff Anderson Geography Editor's note: Please refer to clarifi- cation on page 2 concerning the 413 issue of TEC regarding the dismissal of Marc Schatz. f Spartanburg Herald Journal SC needs privacy laws South Carolina is not the only state that assumes it owns all the information it can amass about its citizens. North Carolinians recently learned that their state has com- piled a database on 2.5 million of its residents who attended college or took vocational training courses within the past nine years. The database tracks their employment history and their earnings. The stated purpose of the data- base is to analyze the effectiveness of job training by looking at the training taken and the jobs and salaries to which that training led South Carolinians were upset this year to learn that the state had sold their driver's license photos to Image Data, a New Hampshire company developing a system to combat check and credit card fraud. Image Data's system seems like a worthwhile development that represents a maximum benefit for a minimum of intrusion. But the arro- gance of state leaders in believing that the images of all citizens were theirs to trade in led to widespread outrage. Gov. Jim Hodges has cancelled the state's contract with Image Data. But state officials have yet to recognize the fact that they have no right to sell the personal informa- tion of individual South Carolinians Congress and state legislatures should reassert wt ownership of our information. When someone compiles information about us our names, addresses, Social Secuflty numbers, employment and credit histories, etc. (he or she) should not be able to engage in the com- mercial trade of that information without our permission. State and federal lawmakers should study the impact of encod- ing these principles into law. OPINION The Columbia State Check on patient compensation When a state agency is in ques- tionable financial health, it makes sense to give it a checkup. Especially when state taxpayers depend on it. That's why it was a smart move when the five-member board of the Legislative Audit Council which audits and investigates state agencies voted to send auditors to examine the South Carolina Patients Compensation Fund. The PCF, an obscure state agency, han- dles tens of millions of dollars a year in providing malpractice insurance for most of the state's private doc- tors, nurses and hospitals. The trouble with the PCF is that no one really knows what's going on there, as a recent superficial study by an South Carolina Medical Association task force found. The study indicated the PCF may be financially unstable. This is a seri- ous matter. If the PCF goes belly- up, state taxpayers may be stuck with millions of dollars worth of legal claims against doctors. The PCF is a kind of insurance fund, without the same rules that govern real insurance companies. Health professionals who are PCF "members" pay what amounts to malpractice insurance every year. From that money, the PCF pays out settlements when patients are hurt or killed by medical negligence. For years, before the era of high jury verdicts, the PCF had plenty of money. Its rates were the lowest in the country. But in recent years, it has paid out more than it was sched- uled to take in. The PCF can assess higher rates, but it isn't certain that doctors will pay those rates over the long haul. PCF officials say their agency is fine. But it has never had a serious audit. The Legislative Audit Counsel should plunge in quickly. It's about time for a checkup.

Was Mark Twain? These are just some of the many questions and topics that will be discussed at the Annual English Tag Lecture. Novelist David Bradley and pro- fessor and author Dr. Shelley Fisher Fishkin will be visiting ECU to give lectures and discuss their novels that include Bradley's "The Chaneysville Incident" and Fishkin's "Lighting Out for the Territory: Reflections on Mark Twain and American Culture" and "Was Huck Black?: Mark Twain and African-American Voices They will be working together on a workshop which will discuss "Huck Finn" and Mark Twain's irony in writing it said Dr. Lillian Robinson, the workshop's coordi- nator. Currently there is a controversy in schools all over the nation about whether "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" should be taught in the schools. Many oppo- nents point to the racist language used in the novel. "The novel is a satire on racism Robinson said. "Both authors coming to ECU will be tak- ing the stance in the workshop that the book is worth teaching Dr. Fishkin's lecture will be pri- marily about the travels she took across the South, and the different places where Twain lived. "I'll be talking about this enig- ma of a man, who was the son of slaveholders and became the author of the greatest anti-racist novel Fishkin said. Fishkin will speak about Twain's hometown of Hannibal, Mo where they hold a festival every year honoring him. "I'll note in my talk that they're honoring an image that leaves out David Bradley FILE PHOTO more than is put in Fishkin said. Joining Fishkin in the workshop, Bradley will be discussing his views and giving a separate lecture on his book. Bradley will be speaking as part of the Writers Reading Scries. "This will be the last program of the year and it proves to be the best said Julie Fay, director of the writers' series. The Writers Reading Series invites writers to Eastern North Carolina each year to allow the community, students and readers a chance to meet and hear from the them in person. The program gives the authors an opportunity to give a public reading, sign books and attend a public reception in their honor. "IThe Writers' Series gives stu- dents a chance to pick the writer's brain Fay said. The series is co-sponsored by Women's Studies, Ethnic Studies and other various departments. The novel that Bradley will be speaking about, "The Chaneysville Incident was awarded the 1982 PENFaulkncr Prize and an Academy Award from the American Academy and the Institute of Arts and Letters. "In writing that book I had to learn a whole lot of things Bradley said. "A lot of the stuff that I kept coming up with was just plain funny. Part of the way the book works is that he the main charac- ter, an African-American historian is both serious and negative his- tory will do that to you Students who wish to attend the joint workshop arc encouraged to speak to Dr. Robinson or call her at 328-6681.

Dry FEATLHES EDITOR "Will I get into grad school?" "I really need to stop drinking, but can I?" "I know he loves me and he did say he wouldn't hit me again Students live in situations like these and many others. The best thing is that there are people who can help through these hard times. The Center for Counseling and Student Development houses five counselors who are there to listen to students in both individual and group sessions. "The primary role of the Counseling Center is to provide psychological and emotional sup- port for students to help them get through school said Dr. Al Smith, assistant director of the Counseling Center. No matter how big or small you may consider your problem to be, the counselors will be there to offer an objective, supportive ear. "I help people look at their options. A lot of times, if a stu- dent talks to an objective person, they can come up with resolu- tions they might not have thought of said Dr. Nancy Badger, psy- chologist. "I try to ask questions in such a way that they have to look a little bit deeper inside of them- selves for the answer Although all five counselors are generalises and discuss a wide range of issues, they each have dif- ferent disciplines. According to Badger, Dr. Smith focuses on career counseling, Dr. Robert Morphet's concentration is substance abuse, Dr. Valerie Kisler works with eating disorders and Dr. Lynn Roeder targets sexual identity. Badger works with women's issues and relationships. "The college years are when most people develop mentally, trying to work on intimate relation- ships Badger said. Along with her concentration on relationships and women's issues, Badger also coordinates the acade- mic study skills workshops. These workshops are given throughout the semester to serve students in a wide range of issues such as time management, note taking, test preparation, test taking and acade- mic motivation. According to Dr. Bob Morphet, students can receive guidance in any of the previous concerns in' both individual and group sessions. "I enjoy group sessions Badger said. "I consider them very good for those who feel isolated on a particular issue.

The pro- gram's success with the distance is a product of Carson's mindset in recruiting. "Coach only recruits kids who can run the quarter. If you can't run the quarter, you don't get much respect in the program Miller said. The history of quarter-milers at the school also propitiates the flow of quality runners into the program.

After pulling off a weekend sweep of Big South teams Charleston Southern University and Winthrop University, ECU jumped back into action to defeat Campell 2-1 in game one and 6-0 in game two on Tuesday's double header. The weekend on the road pushed the Pirates winning record further as ECU beat CSU 5-1 in the first game and 12-1 in the second. The Pirates out hit the Buccaneers 13-3 in game two and stole a season high eight bases to move their record 29-14 over all and 4-2 in the Big South. "It feels good, especially since we've been splitting lately senior Isonette Polonius said. Polonius continues to lead the team in batting, notching her 12th home run of the season on Sunday against Winthrop. Denise Reagan pitched a pair of shutouts as ECU downed Winthrop 5-0 in game one and 4-0 in game two. "I am very pleased to go home with two conference road sweeps under our belts head coach Tracey Kee said. ECU's winning season has been a balance between strong hitting lead by Polonius and tough pitching by Reagan. Coming off a stellar weekend, Reagan kept the teams winning record by hurling for yet another shutout against Campbell. "Everything just came togeth- er Reagan said, "It felt really good Reagan's teammates support her strong showing on the mound and attribute much of the teams success this season to the junior hurler. "Reagan has been doing great pitching for us Polonius said. "We've battled and really come together The Pirates were able to keep their momentum going againist Campbell with Polonius going 3- for-3 with two runs scored and one RBI. Sophmore Keisha Shepperson was l-for-2 with runs scored and four stolen bases while junior Amekea McDougald notched ECU last hit and scored one run and stole one base. Although the Camels attempt- ed to rally with seven hits ECU defense was too much. "We're playing really well together as a team, that helps a lot freshmen Eva Herron said. ECU gears up for the next series of games trying to maintain their six game winning streak. "We want to carry this to the confrence games this weekend and win the important ones Reagan said. ECU is now 33-14 overall and 6-2 in the Big South. The Pirates hit the road today April 15 as they take on UNC-Greensboro in a game that was rescheduled because of rain. Hornet's forward Mason not prosecuted CHARLOTTE (AP) - Charlotte Hornets forward Anthony Mason won't be prosecuted as a result of a Chicago woman's accusation that Mason raped her in his Charlotte home in January. Mecklenburg prosecutor David Wallace said Monday that there was not sufficient evidence to prove a rape or sexual assault occurred. "She never told police there were any sort of physical threats or verbal threats Wallace said. Mason has denied the accusation since it became public nearly four months ago. The 20-year-old woman told police she met Mason, 32, near her Chicago home and had had prior sexual contact with him before agreeing to visit him at his home in Charlotte, Wallace said. In a search warrant affidavit. police said the woman reported she was in Mason's bedroom around 1 a.m. on Jan. 8 when Mason forced her to have sexual intercourse. She also said Mason invited a second uniden- tified man to perform sex acts on her and she refused. Mason then forced her to have sex with him again, twice, the war- rant said. Later that day, the woman returned home and reported the incident to Chicago police, who referred her to Charlotte-Mecklenburg police, the warrant said. "When asked specifically what she considered to be the force that was used, she stated to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg investiga- tors that he didn't use a condom Wallace said. "There would be insufficient evidence that the crimes alleged occurred Efforts to reach the woman for com- ment Monday were unsuccess- ful, The Charlotte Observer reported. Mason, sitting out for the abbre- viated NBA season after arm surgery, declined comment, but his agent and attorney said they expected Monday's decision. "I'm glad it's been put to rest ThyrtiliY.

The 16th annual Pigskin Pig- Out is scheduled to begin April 16 with a golf tournament and run throughout the weekend conclud- ing with a home and garden show on April 18. The event is a carnival style celebration that will be held in Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium. Activities will include numerous "She never told police there were any sort of physical threats or verbal threats David Wallace Mecklenburg prosecutor exhibits, rides and musical perfor- mances, but the center of attention will be the ECU athletic program. The highlight of the weekend showcases the Pirate football team in their first official scrimmage of the year before a crowd in Dowdy- Ficklen. Assistant athletic director at ECU, Lee Workman, says the main purpose of this event is to create some good exposure for the Pirate athletic program. He also believes the event provides an in-depth look at ECU athletics and works to bring new students and fans to the uni- versity. "It's a great activity for students and fans to come in and have a good time Workman said. "It's a great day because it's free to come on site and free to see the bands SEE PIGSKIN PAGE 11 said Frank Rothman, Mason's New York attorney. Rothman represented Mason in an unrelated case last year in which Mason and his cousin were arrested in New York on charges of felony statutory rape. Two girls, ages 15 and 14, told police they had consensual sex with the two men. Prosecutors dropped the felony charges against Mason in June after Mason agreed to plead guilty to two counts of misdemeanor child endangerment and serve 200 hours of community service. Mason's cousin, William Duggins, pleaded guilty to one count of statutory rape and one count of child endangerment and was sentenced to five years' pro- bation and 800 hours of communi- ty service. Some may say Expos team of 90s MonttwFs pligfit reflects state of the game Stephen Schramm SPORTS EDITOR At the close of every decade the argument arises over which team deserves to be called the "Team of the Decade In baseball the debate circles around the Braves and the Yankees. Though the Braves went to the post-season every year since 1991, they only have one ring to show for it. Thus, I can't give them my endorsement to call themselves the best team of the decade. The Yankees won two rings this decade and last year put together the best squad since the Cincinnati Reds of the 1970s. However, they were somewhat of a non-factor during some points in the decade and being an ardent Orioles fan I cannot give them the nod as the decade's best team. Now that we've ruled two of the front-runners, let me suggest one more candidate. This team was not the best team of the decade but rather they were a team that was indicative of baseball in the 1990s. The Montreal Expos produced some of the finest players of the decade. Of course, for the bulk of their career, they had been lured away from the team before they earned their fame. Also the Expos have been hurt by the current eco- nomic structure of baseball. A struc- ture where almost half of the teams arc out of contention before open- ing day. 1997 NL MVP Larry Walker, Cy Young Award winner Pedro Martinez, and perennial All-Stars Andres Galarraga and Moises Alou all began their careers as Expos. Former Expos are plentiful on the rosters of contenders and World Series teams. The Expos are a team with an excellent front office and great farm system. However, the team is stuck in the smallest of markets, in a town who has shown themselves to be largely apathetic towards pro baseball and their team. The Expos' plight has repeated itself numerous times over the course of the decade. Talent is brought up. The players perform well, and when their contracts run out, the Expos can't afford to keep them. So the players head to an American team for more money. The circle goes on and on, whether it be Mike Lansing, Carlos Perez, Delino DeShields or Marquis Grissom. Current Expos stars such as Dustin Hermanson and Rondell White will probably leave Montreal when their contracts run out as well. The Expos now sit on the poor side of the chasm that separates baseball's haves and have-nots. The team did not get funding for a new downtown ballpark and is threaten- ing to move. If that is not a prime example of where baseball is at now.I don't know what is. If there is a team that has been producing the highest level of tal- ent and is indicative of the current economic structure of baseball it is the Montreal Expos. So what if they weren't the best team of the decade. If you were to pick a team that best fit the moniker "Team of the Nineties" it would have to be the Montreal Expos. UConn Guard El-Amin attested HARTFORD, Connecticut (Ticker) Khalid El-Amin, the start- ing point guard for NCAA champi- on Connecticut, was arrested Tuesday and charged with marijua- na possession. According to Hartford police Sgt. Dan Meehan, El-Amin was arrested late Tuesday afternoon and charged with misdemeanor possession of less than four ounces of marijuana. "El-Amin was released after promising to appear for a court date Meehan said. El-Amin, who just completed his sophomore season, averaged 13.8 points and 3.9 assists as the Huskies captured the NCAA Tournament tide for the first time in school his- tory. Last week, he announced he would return for his junior season and help Connecticut defend its title rather than enter the NBA draft. r �r- ��!�- Vl. 1999 10 ut 18 isical perfor- r of attention ;tic program. ic weekend botball team crimmage of d in Dowdy- director at says the main : is to create 'or the Pirate also believes in-depth look orks to bring s to the uni- ' for students d have a good "It's a great i come on site ids ;t ii y 90s If of the teams i before open- rry Walker, Cy inner Pedro rinial All-Stars i Moises Alou ers as Expos, lentiful on the rs and World team with an and great farm c team is stuck narkets, in a themselves to : towards pro im. it has repeated Ties over the ide.

Quantity Rights Reserved, www.winndixie.com Orioles off to slow start BALTIMORE (AP) � Will Clark sat in front of his locker, a bulky ice pack on his left knee and a strained look on his face. He glanced at the food in the middle of the club- house, which to him appeared as worthless as his .478 batting aver- age. Clark contributed at least one hit in each of his first six games in Baltimore, capping his opening week Sunday with a homer and two RBIs. Yet the Orioles blew a 4-0 lead against the Toronto Blue Jays and finished their opening homes- tand 2-4 and in the AL East cellar. "I'd trade the hits and homers for wins said Clark, who signed a two-year, $11 million contract in December. "The food tastes a lot better when you win Unless the Orioles improve their pitching, Clark will savor few hearty meals this summer. His pro- ductionahead of Albert Belle who's hitting .409 with five RBIs has been wasted because Baltimore's pitching staff owns a 6.00 ERA. "This team is going to score some runs, but not five or six every day manager Ray Miller said. "So we're just going to have to pitch better Mike Mussina owns both Oriole wins, closer Mike Timlin has two saves and Heathcliff Slocumb has yet to yield a run. That pretty much covers the list of Baltimore pitchers who have been effective this sea- son. "But as bad as it's gone, it can turn around quickly Clark said. The Orioles plummeted after a 10-3 start last season, staggering to the finish in fourth place with a 79- 83 record. At this point they've got nowhere to go but up and to Yankee Stadium. After a day off Monday, Baltimore begins an 11-game load trip today with three games against the defending world champion Yankees. The key game is Thursday's finale, when Mussina faces Roger Clemens. The Orioles went 0-6 at Yankee Stadium last year in a controversial series that included a questionable call by an umpire and the fastball from Armando Benitez that hit Tino Martinez in the back and staned a brawl. The Orioles have little chance to win if they performed as they did Sunday, when a botched rundown and a shoddy performance by the bullpen produced a shower of jeers from the soggy, chilled crowd. "You've got to go up there and play good baseball Clark said. "You don't do that, you don't win Pigskin continued from page 10 Although the pig-out party began in 1984 as a method to pro- vide exposure for ECU, it has evolved into an event that accom- plishes much more. This weekend is also one of the main drives to raise funds for ECU's student ath- letic scholarships. Although the football team is spotlighted during the weekend, the money raised is used to provide scholarships for students participating in all the sports offered at ECU. "We hoped this event would turn into a fund-raiser for the stu- dent scholarship program Workman said. "The money for the scholarships comes from the rides, food and the home and garden show According to Workman, this weekend is geared for brothers, sis- ters, moms, dads and everyone else. He hopes more ECU students will become involved in this event and become more familiar with the athletic program at their university. "I really encourage students to come out and enjoy the weekend and be a part of what we are doing Workman said. "I hope students will be a part of the bands, ride rides, eat barbecue, watch the games and bring all their friends to have a good time This year's pig-out party will be even more sports focused. In years past the football scrimmage was the only sporting event for fans to watch. However, the Pirate base- ball and Softball teams will be join- ing in the festivities this weekend as fans are invited to enjoy home matches for both clubs. The Pirate baseball team will play April 16 and 17 at 7 p.m. and April 18 at 2 p.m. at Harrington Field. The ECU softball team will host Radford April 17 at 12:30 p.m. ECU baseball players are excit- ed to be a part of this Pirate tradi- tion and hope the large crowd will make its way to Harrington Field throughout the weekend. "I think it's a great opportunity to come see Pirate athletics and raise money for us said Nick Schnabel, junior infielder for the ECU baseball team. According to Travis Thompson, senior pitcher for the Pirates, he hopes this event can increase the Greenville community's involve- ment in Pirate athletics. He also hopes to interact with those fans who come to check out this cele- bration and plans on the team play- ing well for the hometown crowd.

Aikman inks new deal with Dallas Cowboys spoils Thundiy. April 18. 1999 12 IRVING, Texas (AP) - Troy Aikman once again is the highest- paid player in the NFL, reworking his contract with the Dallas Cowboys so he'll get $85.5 million through 2007, a league source who asked to remain anonymous told The Associated Press on Tuesday. The deal includes a whopping $20 million signing bonus. Aikman already has received $13 million and will get the remaining $7 mil- lion in early 2001, the source said. Neither Cowboys owner Jerry Jones nor Aikman's agent, Leigh Steinberg, would discuss the terms of the deal other than to say it gives the team much more flexibility under the salary cap for several years. "Our goal was to free up cap room so that Troy could play with a competitive team Steinberg said. "He wants more rings on his fin- gers Under a contract that previously made Aikman pro football's salary leader, Aikman was to make $6.5 million in 1999, $7.25 million in 2000 and $8 million in 2001. The new deal drastically lowers those figures but includes a six-year extension, locking Aikman up beyond his 41st birthday. The source did not have the annual breakdown of the new contract. "We have extended the contract of Troy Aikman to the point where this franchise and our fans are sure to have him for the rest of his career Jones said. "We are very pleased this agreement has been completed Aikman has reworked his previ- ous contract practically every sea- son to help Dallas get under the cap. The Cowboys were desperate for space now because they're try- ing to sign several free agents and must have money left for the play- ers they pick in the draft this week- end. "It had been six years since we'd last done Troy's last contract, and in those six years there had been major changes Steinberg said. "Rarely docs someone play that long on one contract The deal was hammered out mostly during an all-night negotiat- ing session late Friday through early Saturday. It was finalized Monday and announced Tuesday during a news conference that also featured the signing of center Mark Stepnoski, a former Cowboy and a close friend to Aikman. Stepnoski was given a five-year, $10.5 million contract, plus a $3.5 million signing bonus. Neither Aikman nor Steinberg attended the news con- ference.

It is hard to believe that our terms on the SGA executive council are almost over. There is still work to be done and I feel that we have the right people in place to make a difference. I would like to congratulate Cliff Webster, John Meriac, Overton Harper and Jessica Dowdy on their recent election to the SGA executive offices. I am extremely confident in their abilities to lead our student government into the next century. I would like to personally thank all of the students who have taken it upon themselves to get involved and make a difference. These students have allowed for this university to be more conducive to the welfare of the entire student body. The entire SGA is a team and every member is just as important as the next Thank you all for your dedication and commitment to the welfare of your fellow students. In one last piece of business, we are hosting all of the SGA leadership scholarship nominees on campus on April 21. This will give us an opportunity to showcase the program and our University. We are excited about the impact many of these students will have on East Carolina.

After I spent Vyear on the board I ran for the Attorney General position, becaVse I wanted to utilize the experience that I received from the board, ap step up my involvement and I have enjoyed every minute of my term as Attorney General. Why should others get into SGA -1 believe that anybody who has anything to offer this University, which is every student at ECU, should get involved with SGA. There is no other organization on cam- pus that allows you to better this campus, & make decisions that truly do affect die entire campus as much as SGA does. I encourage everybody to get involved. What else would you like the students of ECU to know � If I could add anything else, I would just like to let the students know about the Judicial process. Most students do not even know that the Honor Board exists. We are not just here to decide whether students have violated policy or not but we are also here for students to bring complaints to, if they feel that any of there rights have been violated by other students. I would encourage everybody to get involved in some way or another. If anybody has any questions regarding the judicial branch of the SGA, they can contact me at my office at 328- 4722, or contact the Dean of Students.

Arts & Entertainment Magazine of The East Carolini wtxtm Thursday, April 15,1999 Rebecca Charny Stag Writer Thursday, March 25th was the long-awaited opening date of Ham's sports restaurant and bar in Greenville. Since then, the place has become a haven to crowds of people searching for rea- sonably priced food, freshly brewed beer and a great atmosphere. Ham's is a family establishment that's conveniently located off of Evans Street, right across from the Marathon and Two Greeks restaurants. The close location to both downtown and campus and its late hours (Monday through Saturday from 11 am to 2 a.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.) appeals to droves of college students. This will be the 15th total Ham's restaurant in NC; Greenville is now the home of one of the few Ham's within the Eastern part of the state. Ham's serves everything from pizza to hamburgers to pasta; a variety of vegetarian dishes are also available. All of this is served within a price range of four to seven dollars in a casual, down-to- earth atmosphere. "It has a friendly atmosphere with good service customer Xiao Xin Lu said. Megan Hopkins agrees about her visit. "The atmosphere was great! It's a great new addition to Greenville she said. Ham's place seems to bring out a good crowd, especially the night life. "It's a great place to meet people" said Christy HoltonI like the comfortable atmosphere See Hams continued on page 6 New Kid in Town M�$k$ time" CD Review DeNiro has had his fill of being a gangster, now he needs some therapy.

Hut, as my luck would have it, I get to review a CD this week that requires a full range of thought to listen to and "hear? Neon Ballroom is the Australian band's fol- low-up to the highly popular Frogtomp, which blasted these three young guys into instant stardom. With a charismatic lead singer who resembled Kurt Cobain a link too much for comfort and sounded a lit- tle too much like Eddie Vedder, the band was widely criticized for trying to copy other bands' highly success- ful sounds. Despite the detractors, the band became famous off distinc- tive hits like "Fat Boy So with that history comes their newest release, Neon Ballroom (Epic Records). It isn't one of those listen- �o-once-and-get-the-picture kind of disks. It is, well, deep. It seems as though the band has developed a social consciousness over the last few years that becomes apparent on the album. While a welcome addi- tion to their lineup, some attempts come off as a little silly. For instance, the second song, "Anthem for the Year 2000 is a really great song to listen to while in your car or at home. When you sit down and listen to the lyrics, however, you find cheesy "we are the youththe politi- cians are so surewe are the youthknocking on death's door The CD really shine's when lead gui- taristvocalist Daniel Johns has a chance to display his range. From the song"Emotion Sickness where he croons over a full orchestra, to the angry Kom-esque tune "Spawn Again where he yells in a surpris- ingly cool hook, Johns displays a sur- prising ability to change vocal styles at the drop of a hat As he changes vocal styles, the band also flips musical styles just as quickly. From the rage-filled, guitar- and-bass-driven "Spawn Again" to the quiet acoustic jam "Black Tangled Heart" the music alternates styles a little too quickly for my taste. If I would fault anything on this album, it would be that. I mean, do they want to sound like the hard-dri- ving rockers that they seemingly are or do they want to just make mediocre rock songs and cool six- minute ballads? In all, the CD is a pretty decent album. Would I recommend it for a friend to purchase? Probably not, but I'd definitely lend them my copy so they can hear it and make up their mind before buying it. I'm sure that the band's newfound range of music will turn off some die-hard rockers but their style will definitely pick up a few fans along the way. Don't get me wrong, these guys haven't turned into corporate ball boys doing light radio rock so they can sell a few records to aging Zeppelin fans in need of something a little toned down. They still know how to get down to business ornmost of the See CD. continued on page 6 Tmkmkmd Amy LRoyster Editor in Chief Amanda G.

This classic flick stars breakdancers"Shabba Doo" Quinones and"Boogaloo" Chambers. Of course these are the actors' street names; disclosing their real names would be punishable by death. Anyway, there is a great storyline behind this video-cassette dance extravaganza. A classically trained ballerina named Kelly is taken aback by two street dancers at large named Ozone (Shabba Doo Quinones) and Turbo (Boogaloo Chambers). One night KeDy witnesses these two breakers get out-danced by their rival "Electro Rock 'turbo and Ozone were missing one key element in their dancing: a female dancer. They form a plan to incorporate Kelly into the dance mix and the rivals are eventually danced into oblivion. The story line is classic. 80's hardass street guy falls in love with the rich proper girl, but things go wrong and it is hard to be together.

The script is funny and the acting is pretty good, but it's just too familiar. Okay, I admit it. I've been spoiled. See, it's like this. There's this series on HBO called "The Sopranosand in a way, it beat "Analyze This" to the punch. The movie is about a mafia boss named Paul Vitti (the ever-squinting Robert DeNiro) who is having panic attacks and decides that he needs to enlist the help of a psychiatrist (the ever-Jewish Billy Crystal). This is the exact plot of the "Sopranos almost to iT The biggest difference is that "Analyze This" has the subplot of a huge meet- At only thing ikat has mn I Arir, Mat Mfiro iag between all the mafia families from all over the country. After Vitti witnesses his best friend's murder in a restaurant at the begin- ning of the movie, he starts to have his problems. He begins to realize that someone is putting out a hit on him, and he doesn't know how to play the part of the prey, seeing as how he's always been the predator. This puts him into a spiral of anxiety that causes him to lose his nerve when it comes to killing. It gets so bad that he even cries when watching a Merrill Lynch com- mercial. So, it is Family Psychiatrist Ben Sobel's job to make him better in the next two weeks, or else. Ben's problem is that he is taking off a week to get married, and that puts a damper on Paul's wellness. Paul and his boys, in turn, decide to follow him to Miami and take little snippets of his time with his fiance. Since he is scared not to, Ben helps Paul as much as he can, and eventually he comes to the root of the problem. It seems that Paul witnessed his father's annoy in Aiutyntfw murder in a restaurant and feels that he could have done something to pre- vent it. Pretty standard mafia-movie fare. That's not to say that the film isn't worth watching. The screenplay is by Harold Ram is, the man responsible for such gems as "Groundhog Day "Multiplicity" and "Stripes DeNiro is nearly flawless in his comic timing. The only time when he's not believable is when he cries for the first timehe looks like he's been cutting onions and eating lemons simultaneously. And Billy Crystal, although I'm not a fan, finally has the role that can put him back in the spotlight after clunkers like "My Giant" and "Father's Day In the end, the movie is funny and entertainingjust don't go in expecting "The Godfather on Ice If you want the real deal, tune in to HBO on Sunday nights for the "Sopranos It being a series, we have a better chance to care about the characters and thus get more out of it. A note from Christopher Walken Staff Writer Hi. How are you? Good. Sit down. Do you know how hard it is to find infor- mation in the public library node? Listen. I was looking up information on hot dogs, because 1 love hot dogs, when all of the sudden the whole sys- tem shuts downit was a mess. This cannot happen ever again. I lost all of the information I had on hot dogs in a flash, boom! Gone. I had no other choice but to burn the place down and Tango on the ashes. So, remem- ber this, until they make computers that have no glitches in them, I will be on a rampage of burning faulty com- puter terminalsthat will teach them to mess with me!

Most people know that the Internet is a place for learning, chatting with people spanning the globe, and looking at dirty pictures free of charge. What they may not know, however, is that there is much more to it than that. Web sites such as Ebay, Amazon and Party.com have been working overtime to change the way we look at the Information Superhighway. One of the newest and fastest growing sites today is an auction forum called wwwjKtycon.orMoMtocMdi Ebay (www.ebay.com). The idea behind it is that regular people can put up items such as collectibles and musi- cal merchandise for auction, and peo- ple all around the world can place bids on them. It's basically using the old saying "one man's trash is another man's treasure and creating a website around that. And with sponsors like Rosie O'Donncll auctioning off things for charity, there is no telling just how lucrative an idea it is. "The best thing about it is that anyone can get into it said sophomore Chris Russell.

Patrick Brown is ligh tning quick with his fingers. In a mat- ter of minutes, he can transform a few nondescript rubber balloons into a rai nbow with a unicorn in the middle. As a clown, he can entertain a room- ful of kids, pulling coins from ears and making Winnie the Pooh out of a han 11 fu I of orange balloons. But his skills at being the center of atte ntion were no help when he was recen- ly crowned king of the balloon-twist- ing world. The man who likes to make balloon flowers for bank tellers and we ar a green wig on the weekends was stunned. The Dale City resident stumbled throu gh a quick speech, seeming more apologetic than proud. His idol, the ren owned balloon- twist ing guru Marvin Hardy,�tood next to him a fad Brow n didn't realize until he later saw a vide otape of the evening. "Basically, I was speechless he said, remembering the night That doesn't happen often Brown, 40, cleaned up on awards at the first international balloon-twisting co mention at the end of February in Austin, Texas. His sculpture King of the Gargoyles" was first in the big category Clown on Unicycle"was second in the medi- um category. And Clown Car" was first in the small category. Of 140 balloon artists from 38 states and six countries, Brown was named the world's Top Twister It was tough bringing him back to Earth his wife, Debbie, said with a laugh. During an interview at the couple's home, the Browns were surrounded by some of his creations. Elvis on a coat hanger. A jester's hat on top of a lamp. Sylvester the cat and Tweety Bird side by side against the wall. After a few quick minutes, a blue dog with bulging eyes joined the crowd. Brown, wearing an apron, looked hap - pily, almost paternally, over his crew. He can transform a few gray, red, yel- low and green balloons into almost anything a pot overgrown with flow- ers, a unicorn, a teddy bear stuck in a heart. He made his wife Debbie a bal- loon Fred Astaire and is working on a Marilyn Monroe. "Balloons can be art Brown said I can take a simple sculpture and by ad ding detail I make it art Brown works as a mechanic for the U.S. Postal Service at Dulles Internatio nal Airport. On the weekends, he and Debbie, 41, nin Noodles and Giggles Clown and Magic Company. They play birthday parties and children's lairs. But Brown hasn't always been such a balloon enthusiast A native of Vienna, he studied physics at George Mason University. After graduating he took a job as a magic bartender at the Limelight in Georgetown. There, he met an ex- Ringling Brothers clown nicknamed Lima Bean, who intro- duced Brown to balloon twisting and sculpting. " He showed me how to make a poo- dle and I thought it was neat Brown s aid. "He had a half-bag of balloons, went out to this car and when he came back there was a roomful of poodles. Now, he doesn't go anywhere without at least a few balloons in his pockets. If a co-worker asks for a littk some- thing to brighten the day, Brown might make a funny-looking down. If he's out in public and he sees a kid cry- ing, Brown will whip out a few bal- loons and make a dog or a teddy bear. He can't help himself. Garfield does not do Polka WILKES-BARRE, Pa. (AP) Joseph Blazejewski, staunch defender of the polka, has a strong message for a cer- tain cartoon cat named Garfield: Shame on you. Blazejewski said recent Garfield cartoons unfairly lampooned the polka, not to mention the accordion. Thursday, he took his protest to The Tunes Leader, a northeastern Pennsylvania newspaper that publish- es the comic strip. The Polish people and Eastern Europeans get stepped upon, stepped upon, stepped upon and nobody says anything said Blazejewski, also known as Accordion Joe. " Most of those cartoons were not even funny. They were scornful, hateful The cartoons in question appeared in the newspaper last week. In one strip, Garfield's owner Jon suggests a week- end polka excursion Single file exit to the left Garfield thinks. Another cartoon has Jon making out a will and asking that his ashes be spread over his accordion. Garfield's flippant reply Oh, but we'll be cre- mating your accordion as well Blazejewski, 65, of Plains, said Garfield" creator Jim Davis has a habit of browbeating accordion players and polka musk. Davis said he happens to like polka music. Garfield, however, does not The comic strip's job is to remind us that life's not so bad, and we should all learn to laugh at ourselves a bit Davis said in a statement Thursday. Garfield is a fictional character who has lots of likes and dislikes Blazejewski, a longtime accordion player who has played in numerous polka bands, also said the newspaper should have shown more sensitivity to its audience. Northeastern Pennsylvania is home to many people of Polish and Eastern European descent. Tunes Leader editor Allison Walzer said the cartoon never specifically mentioned Polish peopk. The bottom line is we don't edit car- toons she said. "In feet, we don't look at them before publication Blazejewski, who has played in polka bands for 40 years, marched outside The Tunes Leader building in his Polish dancing costume, wh ile his friend Bill Kukkwicz played the accor- dion. Passing motorists honked their horns in approval. The newspaper didn't mind at all. "It's very nice to be serenaded by the accordion, said Ms. Walzer, laughing. Achy-Breaky- Dooby-Doo NASHVILLE, Term. (AP) Why mess with a classic? Country singer Billy Ray Cyrus recorded the theme song from Scooby-Doo" Thursday at a Nashville recording studio for use in a direct-to-video cartoon titled Scooby-Doo and the Witch's Ghost He said he was a longstand- ing fan of the mystery-solving dog of Saturday morning cartoon fame. 1' I tried to stay as close to the origi- nal as possible, and add some of my own flavor to it said Cyrus, who became a country musk star in 1992 with his No. 1 hit Achy Breaky Heart. "I probably could have done it with no practice at all, because I've been a fan so long I know the song so well already he said. Scooby-Doo and the Witch's Ghost" is set for release Oct. 5. Hams continued from page 1 There are plenty of places to hang out in Ham's, whether it's dining in front of the restaurant, checking out the "cigar room" upstairs, or drink- ing on the patio deck and bar out back where you can order some of Ham's own freshly brewed beer. This is the good stuff, too! Ham's brews its own beer, which has been praised for its cxcelle nt taste, in the back of the restaurant. You've got to come in and check this place out!

Learn to recognize when you've done all you can, and move on. Hindsight is always 20-20, so learn from mis- takes and decide to do better next time. If you exercise a little patience, your rewards will be evident. TAURUS: (ApriI21-May21) Love is everywhere during the week. Either a current love is rekindled or you may be in for a new attraction. In any case, the rules have changed, and even if with an old flame, the relationship is completely new. Being around positive people will lift your spirits GEMINI: (May 22-June 21) If the attitudes of others seem to be holding you back, it's time to be a lit- tle more self-centered in order to get yourself back into the swing of what is good for you. A little separation from others can be a good thing. Opportunities will abound, look for them. CANCER: (June 22-July 23) You have a reason to be proud of your output and quality of work this week. Work will provide you with a welcome respite from other worries. If your attitude concerning a rela- tionship does not seem to change, you may be looking at the situation from the wrong view. Don't try so hard. LEO: (July 24-August 23) If you have been running yourself ragged, preventative measures may be needed to keep your health up to par. Money is likely to be tight for the near future, but don't let it stop you from making plans to get away on vacation. Your lover is an absolute joy to you. VIRGO: (August 24 - September 23) If you ponder over the "what ifs even more questions will arise. Ifs not worth putting yourself through such self criticism. What's done is done, and you can only resolve to do better next time. Your drive for per- fection is unrealistic, for there is no such thing as perfection. LIBRA: (September 24 - October 23) If there is a change in plans this week, make the best of the situation. Something very promising may come of what seems to be a missed opportunity. Your love life is getting back on track, so take the opportuni- ty to work out details, and go slowly with your mate. SCORPIO: (October 24 - November 22) Your handwork is not always noticed or appreciated by others. Whatever you do must satisfy you first - rely- ing on others will keep you feeling disappointed. Sweet memories may cause you to look back on the past with a sense of loss and some regret -the good old days. SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 - December 21) It just might come to blows with a loved one during this week. Give each other time to cool off before approaching the subject in a reason- able mood. Good news about money may lighten up your mood a bit The way you use information presented to you pleases your superiors. CAPRICORN: (December 22 -January 20) Your nature insists you follow the rules, but an acquaintance who is more of a free spirit, prefers spon- taneity-learn from him. Don't fall into the trap of judging others, remember that you don't know what motivates and influences others to do what they do. Take a firm hand on money matters. AQUARIUS: (January 21 - February 19) Your personal brand of creativity is crying out to be let loose, allow time for this expression to take place, and don't be too attached to producing immediate masterpieces. If a prob- lem is backing you into a corner, focus your energies on diffusing it. PISCES: (February 20-March 20) Keeping your feelings under wrap will create the illusion of control. If you take the risk of expressing your- self to a loved one, no one will care if you break down. It's going to hurt falling down - but you are better off jumping in, instead of watching from a distance. IF THIS WEEK IS YOUR BIRTH- DAY: Your creative energies express themselves in very tangible ways. You do not build castles in the sky, but tend to put down roots and build useful things which are meant to last. Your life work will always involve building and growing. Party.com continued from page 3 what they bid on Another up-and-coming site is called Amazon (www.amazon.com). A few years ago, this huge megasite began as an online bookstore; sort of an online Barnes and Noble, but without all those dark colors. Nowadays, Amazon is one of die leading shopping sites on the net, branching out into music and video as well as new and out-of-print books. The cool thing is that it's not just for die con- sumers anymore. Amazon gets its rare books from smaller used bookstores in the country.

When Barnes and Noble came out here, most of the other book- stores in town like the Book Potato and Book Warehouse went under. That wouldn't hjive happened if they got into selling online.

It includes links to bee Web Pages, free email, online horoscopes, online comparison shopping, chat rooms, personals and lottery results. This has the potential to be one of the most useful sites on the web, especially for newcomers. "You have die power to shop, check out their horoscope and maybe even find true love, all in one sitting. I hope it catches on soon said Vance Daniels, sophomore. These are only a few of the tasty new sites springing up lately.
