The amounts are as follows: for the 9-meal plan, $45.01; for the 14-meal plan, $50.75; and for the 19-meal plan, $56.49. The amounts are for seven days worth of meals, are non-refundable and must be used by the end of the semester. The ECU Playhouse production of The Music Man has been postponed until Oct. 28- Nov. 2 and Nov. 5-6. The postpone- ment is due to the loss of rehearsal days during Hurricane Floyd and the resulting flood. The ECU Pirates will play Southern Mis- sissippi Saturday at 3:30 p.m. at Dowdy- Ficklen Stadium. The ECU student ticket pick-up for the Nov. 20 Pirate football game against N.C. State will be held Oct. 11-13. Students may bring their ECU One Card to the Athletic Ticket Office at Minges Coliseum to pick up one ticket for the game. Students have the option of purchasing one additional guest ticket at the regular ticket price ($30). Tickets are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Group tickets may be picked up with the proper student identification cards. Special preference will not be given to groups. The Minges Coliseum Athletic Ticket Of- fice will be open from 7:30 a.m. - 4 p.m Oct. 11-13. For more information, call the ECU Ticket Office at 328-4500.

In honor of Earth Science Week, which is Oct. 11-15, Joyner Library will house a display (located on the 2nd floor in front of the administrative offices) that illustrates the diversity of geological activities here at ECU. HELPING OTHERS PC 6 International charitable organizations need help in fighting poverty THURSDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1999 TODAY'S WEATHER Sunny and mild in a high of 70 and a low of 48 Benefit concert sidetracked; scheduling uncertain Athletic department slow In responding Phillip Gilfus NEWS EDITOR Junior Paul Davis thinks that it would be a good idea to put on a benefit concert in Minges Coliseum. After Floyd's flood waters washed away his Phi Kappa Phi reggae party, he had $35,000 left in sold tickets. Davis decided to use that money to help bring flood relief to students. According to Davis, he began to recruit various campus orga- nizations after the hurricane, in- cluding the SGA and other Greek organizations. But in order to use Minges Coliseum to hold a con- cert, he would have to get per- mission from the Athletic De- partment. According to Davis, assistant director of Student Activities Jay Marshall met with Mike Hamrick, director of athletics, about reserving the facilities for an Oct. 30 concert. But Marshall stated that he had a meeting with the Athletic Department on Monday, and possible dates would be discussed for when the coliseum would be available. He said that Nov. 18 looks to be a tentative date for when the facilities would be free, though no official approval has been made. Students would have to pay for the planned concert, though food and cash donations would be accepted. Those pro- ceeds would go to help hurricane victims. During the Oct. 4 meeting, Marshall said he discovered that, besides ECU athletes using the facilities for practice, visiting teams also use Minges and Dowdy-Ficklen. "This is the bottom line: Minges is difficult to get during basketball and volleyball seasons and Dowdy-Ficklen is off-limits during the fall Marshall said. "A benefit concert needs to take place in the fall Davis said. "There's a low morale on cam- pus. This could make a dramatic effect on ECU'S face now Craig Curtis, assistant athletic director for equipment and op- erations, who is in charge of scheduling events at athletic fa- cilities, stated that he met with Marshall and two students on Monday, but according to Curtis, all that was discussed was how the Athletic Department could work with the Student Union in scheduling student activities. He said that no specific concerts were mentioned. Dr. Henry VanSant, associate director of athletics, stated he had not heard anything about this specific concert.

Students, UHS "Rock the Vote" Campaign aimed at increasing turnout Terra Steinbeiser ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR With the next presidential election a year away, students are being reminded of the importance of voting. Today is the last day of the University Housing Services (UHS) sponsored "Rock the Vote" voter registration campaign. "This is such a great opportunity for students said Manny Amaro, director of UHS. "If you want to change your environ- ment, that's what you do, you register to vote and then you go do It Since Tuesday, resident advisors in all 14 of ECU'S residence halls have been dutifully passing out registration packets to encourage their residents to complete the registration form. UHS's decision to promote "Rock the Vote" is due in part to federal and state legislation passed last year. The new laws state that universities have a responsibility to provide their students with the resources to become politically active, especially in the voting process. The "Rock the Vote" campaign is to be- come an annual ECU event. Voter registration packets are still available at the UHS of- fice, located in Jones Hall.

"It is not a myth, it happens said Laura Hartung, ECU nutritional director. "Students come to school and they ate on their own. The availability of fatty foods can over- whelm some students to the point of overeating. Those extra calories can end up affecting you come the end of the semester "The unbalanced intake of fatty foods and a lack of fruits and veg- etables also contributes to the fresh- men fifteen said Michelle Rudder, manager of the Groatan. "Although cheeseburgers and pizza arc served throughout campus dining halls, there are also wide vari- eties of nutritional items to choose from. Our nutritionist makes sure that all food on campus is being pre- pared and cooked correctly Through a combination of eating and social habits, first-year students can make sure that their weight does not increase dramatically. Both Todd and Mendenhall din- ing halls provide all-you-can-eat buffets and offer many nutritional items including soup, pasta, fruit, grill items and salad bars. Other ECU dining facilities also provide healthy alternatives. The Galley serves healthy breakfast choices, including fruit and bagels, and the Wright Place offers various types of salads and fresh fruit for breakfast, lunch or dinner. "We have some kind of healthy or low-fat entree at every food loca- tion Hartung said. The Center Court, located in the Student Recreation Center, features a juice bar that serves freshly- squeezed drinks, juices and an assortment of freshly-made smooth- ies. Power bars, fruit, granola barsf and other healthy snacks are also provided. "Fruits and vegetables are a vital part of a nutritional diet Hartung said. "Both provide essential vita- mins, proteins and carbohydrates The Student Rec Center offers students exercising opportunities, which also allows students to main- tain their weight. The center pro- vides students access to many types of fitness equipment, including an indoor track where students can walk, run or jog. A variety of weights helps both male and female stu- dents build their muscle strength and increase endurance. 'The recreation center lets me work out, work off stress, exercise and feel better about myself said freshman Vanessa Olorvida. Hartung revealed other tips on how to fight the freshman fifteen. "Don't skip breakfast and eat regularly she said. 'This will keep your metabolism at a steady rate so that you can burn calories. Also, exercise, avoid snacking and alco- holic beverages and try and enjoy your meals "The freshman fifteen definitely exists, said freshman Sarah Wilson. "Having such a rushed schedule does not allow very much time to think about nutrition. Usually I have to grab something quick for lunch and then rush to my next class Freshman Rachel Kleinman dis- agrees. "I think that the freshman fif- teen is only a myth because there is no way that I could possibly gain weight with my having to walk so far to my classes everyday she said. "I think the freshman fifteen only affects those who let it said freshman Mandy VanCooney.

Presidential adviser speaks about diversity as part of year-long series ECU promotes new programs to change racial attitudes by Angela Harne STAFF WRITER Dr. Christopher Edley, senior adviser to President Clinton, ad- dressed his audience on Monday and Tuesday with words of unity. "We need to find values that unite us, rather than those that divide us he said. Edley, a U.S. Civil Rights Commission appointee, Harvard Law Professor and author of "Not All Black and White presented the first lecture of a year-long initiative on improving race re- lations. "This is the first year in a long series of race, relationships and the role of individuals, institu- tions and communities said Chancellor Eakin. "We are truly a community and it was clearly shown throughout our disaster, a disaster that has brought us all together During his lecture at Hendrix Theater, Edley determined that equality can be reached with three key aspects; opportunity, community and heart. He ex- plained that the first step is to look past the differences of oth- ers. Then one needs to practice communicating with people from different backgrounds and values. "You can't have one aspect without the others or it won't work it is the challenge of to- day Edley said. "Discrimination is alive and all too evident in the world, while Affirmative Action is a key to make it work and battle discrimination Those present for the lecture praised the program. "ECU has taken a step in the right direction dealing with di- versity they ECU realize cul- ture sensitivity is necessary in order to understand one another and work together, said Na'im Akbar, a student. "Edley will be the first pro- gram of many Last April stu- dents suggested that the chan cellor institute programs that would deal with culture sensitiv- ity. The chancellor asked stu- dents to come up with program ideas, and that's how we got to where we are today. The response has been good from the admin- istration "Diversity is the key to the growth of universities said Taffye Benson Clayton, special assistant to the chancellorEqual Employment Opportunity of- ficer. "President Clinton has pro- posed week long lectures on di- versity throughout campuses across the nation to help pro- mote more equality dealing with housing, jobs and overall oppor- tunity. ECU plans to follow the path to equality and the pro- grams dealing with diversity will continue throughout the school year Many are looking forward to what the year-long program promises. "The program will help bridge the gap between different cultures and help ECU become the Utopia of diversity that it publicizes to be said Roderick Stevenson, president of Allied Blacks for Leadership and Equal- ity. "Personally I think that the steps ECU is taking to ensure di- versity are in the right direction, but it's too early to see any re- sults from their new programs said freshman Ernest Daily.

ECU graduate Dr. Beth Foil hopes to provide one forum. She will host a breast health awareness open house at her practice on Fri- day. "I think it Is very Important to learn how to do a good self-exam and then do them every month Foil said. Physicians will be on hand to answer questions about breast self- exams, breast cancer risk assessment and prevention education. Free lim- ited consultations by appointment will also be available. The open house will be at 501-A Greenville Blvd. and will be free and open to the public. Breast cancer Is caused when cells, located most commonly in the ducts of the breast, become malig- nant or cancerous. Infiltrating Duc- tile Cancer is the most common form of the disease. If caught early, it has a 90 percent cure rate. Some forms of the cancer are invasive. They spread beyond the ducts of the breast and spread to other areas of the body. Others are non-invasive and can be treated when caught early on by surgery and radiation therapy. It is thought by the medical community that the cancer starts out as non-invasive and then changes to invasive and spreads. With breast cancer, early detec- tion is key. The cancer can be caught when it is still small by performing an exam every month and getting a yearly mammogram.

The risk factors Involved with breast cancer are a fatty diet, con- sumption of lots of alcohol and a family history of cancer. College- aged women do not usually develop this cancer, though some cases have been reported. This writer can be contacted at cherold@studentmedia.ecu.edu. ACROSS OTHERCAMPUSES Concerns raised about Raleigh police tactics N.C. State�The N.C. State Stu- dent Legal Services Department an- nounced last week that it has be- come concerned over the methods used by the agencies policing the Brent Road party to issue alcohol tickets to party participants. About one-third of the NCSU students tick- eted at the party have brought their case to Student Legal Services over complaints of entrapment by the officers from the Raleigh Police De- partment patrolling the neighbor- hood. "We are very concerned about how the students received their tick- ets said Pam Gerace, Student Le- gal Services director. "We have no- ticed that a majority of the tickets were issued to students over the age of 21, and we have separate groups of students coming up with very consistent scenarios, which should be of concern According to Gerace, all of the students who have come forward with complaints against the polic- ing agencies have presented stories that fit into one of three situations. In one scenario, students over the age of 21 who are walking across the lawns of private residences are approached by police officers and told to exit the grass by way of the sidewalk or else they will be issued a trespassing ticket. The students tell the police that they cannot go out on the sidewalk because they are holding alcohol; but if they lay the alcohol down they will be issued a littering ticket "They are being told to walk on the sidewalk with their alcohol and then they are given a ticket for do- ing so Gerace said. In a second scenario, undercover agents enter parties in homes rented by NCSU students along Brent Road and tell eyeryone under the age of 21 to leave. Then the police officers issue possession tickets to everyone under the age of 21, regardless of whethef or not they have alcohol in theipossession. A third situation brought to the attention of Student Legal Services involves students who clearly are not in possession of alcohol and BA?IL'9 Restaurant & Pizzaria iaig l67� E. Firetower Q.J. &0oc Serving Greek �tjle Pizza & Italian Specialties Dine in or cany out who are stopped and asked if they have had anything to drink that night. Although they purposefully had not been drinking at the party, many answer honestly that they did have a drink earlier in the evening at another private residence. They are then issued a possession ticket because alcohol is in their blood- stream. "If this last-case scenario is what the agencies feel is OK, then any adult over the age of 21 who steps out of a restaurant onto a sidewalk should received a possession ticket because alcohol is in their blood- stream Gerace said. "That wouldn't work anywhere else and it shouldn't work at Brent Road, el- See CAMPUSES, page 4 OCTOBER 4 Larceny from Coin-Operated Device�A staff member reported that an unknown person(s) had pried the plastic cover off a snack machine in the basement of Aycock Hall and stolen various food items.

They represent sources of con- taminants that recent flooding is potentially introducing into ground water whereby many eastern North Carolinians depend. More than half the population of the state gets its drinking water from ground water. In eastern North Carolina, the water-bearing layers, called aquifers, are beds of sand and or limestone; overlying and under- lying layers of silt and clay are con- fining beds that keep the water in the aquifers. The ultimate source of ground water is rain that falls onto the sur- face sediments and percolates down between the sediment grains. The top layer of sediments is an uncon- fined aquifer commonly called the "surficial" or "water table" aquifer, which has no confining bed above it. Aquifers can also be recharged from surface water if river level is high, such as during floods. If the surface-water body (stream, river or estuary) becomes contaminated, then the aquifer being recharged by that water can also become con- taminated. Contaminants picked up at the surface often pass through the surficial aquifer and may move into the deeper aquifers it recharges. Sources of potential contami- nants are numerous, but some of the most common are run-off from roadways and other paved surfaces. This run-off leaks from storage tanks containing gasoline, diesel fuel and heating oil. Overflow from overloaded mu- nicipal sewage treatment plants, fer- tilizer, pesticides and herbicides pollute run-off from farm land, overflow from breached or flooded animal waste lagoons, and enter sea- water that empties into the aquifers along the coast The contaminants are more nu- merous than the sources but com- monly include petroleum products, fertilizers or sewage rich in nutrients such as nitrate and phosphate, heavy metals like cadmium and lead, organic solvents such as ben- zene and acetone, other industrial chemicals, pesticides, herbicides, etc. Sources associated with animal or human waste also carry the risk of contamination by microorgan- isms such as bacteria, viruses and parasites. Any materials such as these that are deposited on the ground surface or carried by surface water, can enter the ground water supply. Because it is unconfined and shallow, the surficial aquifer is much more easily contaminated than the underlying aquifers. As of 199S, more than one-third of the State's population, 2,413,450 North Caro- linians, received domestic water supplies from private wells, many of which are in the surficial aquifer or other other shallow units. Unlike large municipal suppliers who are obligated to furnish their customers with water that meets specific drinking water standards, individual resident wells seldom undergo testing or treatment (other than softening and iron removal). Most contaminants cannot be de- tected by taste, so consumers may be unaware that their water has be- come contaminated. Ground water is not used only as a public water supply. Many in- dustries and agricultural operations rely on this water for processing, ir- rigation and even habitat, in the case of t he ra pidly expandi ng aquac- ulture industry in eastern North Carolina. It is an invaluable resource that contributes to our economy, as well as to our health and well-be- ing. Situations such as the devastat- ing and widespread flooding east- ern North Carolinians have experi- enced provide ample opportunity for contamination of the surficial aquifer and the shallower confined aquifers. The flow rate of water through the surficial aquifer, whether on its way to recharge local streams or to slowly recharge the deeper confined aquifen, is extremely variable and poorly known. In the case of an unprecedented event such as the recent flooding, predictions of shal- low ground water movement are especially problematic. Therefore, to minimize the risk of consuming contaminated water from shallow aquifers, private wells should be periodically tested for months to years following such an event. The next installment in this series will run on Tuesday, Oct. 12.

"At home if you don't vote, you get fined "Rock the Vote" started in 1990 by members of the music industry in response to a series of assaults on First Amendment rights. Soon it was expanded into a national campaign to politically empower the youth of America. According to their handout, "Rock the Vote is dedicated to pro- tecting freedom of expression and to help young people realize and uti- lize their power to affect change in the civic and political lives of their communities In 1992, the organization re- leased several public service'an- nouncements using prominent en- tertainment figures including R.E.M En Vogue and Queen Latifah to spread their message to young Americans by way of MTV, VH-1 and BET.

Jean McGrath, R-Glendale, has not softened in her belief that co-ed dormitories are immoral, endorsing premarital sex and underage drinking. The driving force behind McGrath's posi- tions is her belief that state funding should be kept to a minimum. The thought of money being spent "supporting immoral behavior is her biggest concern, she said. McGrath said she has received a "ton of e-mails" from University of Arizona students responding negatively to her comments at the Board of Regents meeting on Sept. 23. "They were very nasty, with a lot of name calling and vulgarity McGrath said. "They were all just very immature, and it certainly doesn't further their point McGrath said the responses that she has received from non-students has been positive and appreciative to her for speaking her mind. The majority of student responses came from UA students, McGrath said. "Ifs really the adult view of the world ver- sus the student view of the world that has created the problem she said.

If the students want a concert, we should be able to have one, up to four times a year. ourview Right now, the ECU Athletic Department controls both Minges Coli- seum and Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium. Although the Pirate Club raises money for sports facilities, the university owns both buildings. According to an e-mail from J. Marshall, assistant director of Student Activities, the Athletic Department is required by a written statement from Chancellor Eakin to allow the Student Union to use their facilities four times a year. Now the department and students are scouring the athletic calendar trying to find a date when athletes are not using the facilities. What does that say about our school's priorities? As students, we support ECU athletics by attending games, buying merchandise and providing them with a student body to represent on the field. We play in the band, we brag about their wins and we mourn losses. We do everything a student body should do in support of athletics. Now we would like a little consideration. If the students want a concert, we should be able to have one, up to four times a year. Of course, this means that athletes would have to find someplace else to hold a few of their practices. We at TEC think the Greenville community would gladly open their schools and fields to any ECU teams if it meant that a benefit concert could be held. But, a concert is not the most important issue here. Neither is hurri- cane relief. What motivation could the department possibly have for de- nying the use of university-owned facilities to university students for a university-sanctioned event? Concert organizer Paul Davis has received backing from the SCA and other student groups. The concert's proceeds would go to benefit flood victims. The students want to see good bands on campus, and this is a wonderful opportunity for everyone involved to have fun while helping the community. Having a benefit concert is the best idea to hit campus all year, and there's no doubt that student turnout would be impressive. All we've got to do now is move that big cash cow out of the road. OPINION Unsung heroes guide us in flood aftermath Patrick McMahon OPINION WRITER These last few weeks have been a tremendous burden on the popu- lation of North Carolina, as well as other states up the coastline. How- ever strong the burden may be, we as a community have banded to- gether in a way that I thought was never possible. In response to the devastation that Big Bad Floyd brought to our campus, the univer- sity is taking unprecedented steps toward making this transition as seamless as possible for the students. For this they should be praised. You may know by now that TEC is beginning an effort to name he- roes that played an outstanding role during the hurricane. My thoughts bring me to the one and only clear choice for the title of "hero That person is Chancellor Richard Eakin. This man has gone out of his way to assist the students of this university in any way possible, even offering students a spot in his home until they can get back on their feet. He has enabled numerous students who would have otherwise dropped out for the semester to stay enrolled. He is the true hero. Never before have I been so proud to be a mem- ber of the student body. As we praise the Chancellor, let's not forget about the other unsung heroes of this tragedy: the ECU maintenance workers for their tire- less efforts; the grounds crew for their determination to maintain the level of beauty on campus that we have come to know, love and ap- preciate; and finally, the ECU Police Department for being so consider- ate to all students looking informa- tion, updates or even a conversation when needed. I will never forget the ECU officer stationed at the bottom of College Hill Wednesday night and Thursday morning during the hurricane. He showed enormous dedication by staying on the job while his family remained at home. I hope that he and his family made it through everything safely. And finally, on a personal note, my condolences go out to the friends and family of the late Aaron Child. I know how devastating the loss of a dear friend and relative can be and how hard it is to go on know- ing that that person won't be there to join you. Take comfort in the fact that he is in the loving embrace of the Lord. I remember when one of my best friends, Travis Cobb Ellis, was killed almost a year ago today. What helped me through the tremendous level of grief I felt was telling stories about the times we spent together. It is important to talk about the loss. Keeping everything inside only eats away what resolve you have left. The hurricane may have flooded our homes, destroyed our belong- ings and dented our campus, but it hasn't beaten us as a community. With the help of each other we shall overcome this loss.

State ar Editor, turn his attention from the disaster William about the game. His i j in �� �� mAt ( "Thp (ramp WA ffrpat fhp hp Dear Editor, We would like for you to meet William. William and his grandfather are two of ECU'S most loyal fans. They attend almost every ECU football game and last Saturday's Miami game was no exception. As a youngster William would watch a complete game. For years he has known players names and positions. He understands the plays and is now in his first year of tackle football. He is quarterback for his team and talks about playing for ECU one day. William will tell you that he and his grandpa are Pirate Club mem- bers and that they sit in the Pirate Club stands. He is quick to share that everyone in his family has graduated from ECU. It was William that pointed out that the Miami team was the Hurricanes, and that this would make our players more determined to win. In the past weeks William has witnessed much damage and loss as hurricanes Floyd, Dennis and the floods tore into the counties he knows best (Beaufort, Pitt and Mar- tin). We were glad to carry him to Raleigh for the game so he could turn his attention from the disaster to fun. Game time came. Accompanied by Grandpa and Uncle Aaron, Wil- liam, dressed in his finest ECU out- fit, was ready to watch some foot- ball. Then the unexpected, they cheered as ECU actually won the game. It was a joyous time for cel- ebration. The cheering soon ended for Grandpa and Uncle Aaron as they stared in disbelief and shame as a few rushed the field and began to destroy the goal posts. They watched for a while and then turned to William to begin their exit. There was William, ECU's big- gest fan, sitting on the bleacher cry- ing. Big tears ran down his face as he questioned the action on, the field. "State was nice to let us use their field, why are they doing that? State will not want to play us again. Please don't tear up State's field Yes, at age nine, William knew what was happening on the field was wrong and would have nega- tive repercussions for ECU. The young ECU fan came to Raleigh to forget destruction only to have his heart broken. After the game someone asked William about the game. His reply, The game was great, the best, but after-the-game made me wish I had not gone To North Carolina State Univer- sity, we extend our apology for a few fans. We regret the actions of this group and we do appreciate the use of your football field. Good neigh- bors should be treated with more respect. To ECU'S team and coaches, we congratulate you on a great game. You gave Eastern North Carolina a lift in a time of despair. Thanks. To those who ignored the an- nouncements and rushed the field to destroy other's property, we wish you would consider this: Not only did you disgrace your school, take the focus away from the players and coaches, and embarrass thousands of fans, but you showed a future ECU player how the actions of a few can misrepresent the true image of ECU.

GhWS mil BRmmp is OPINION Efforts to unite cultures begins with forums J Na'im Akbar OPINION WRITER Race relations, diversity and cul- tural sensitivity. These are becom- ing the buzz words at ECU as we launch a pro-active agenda to cre- ate dialogue and to gain a better un- derstanding of each other in this beautiful community of multiple races and cultures. The first missile in this effort was fired on Monday night when Chris- topher Edley, senior advisor to Presi- dent Clinton's "Initiative on Race spoke at Hendrix Theater in an evening filled with revealing anec- dotes on the framing of the president's policy on race relations. His informative, refreshing ap- proach to this issue was followed on Tuesday with a panel discussion on "Race Relations and the State These programs represent a bold new beginning in promoting posi- tive race relations and cultural sen- sitivity at ECU. I must commend Chancellor Eakin and his staff for their efforts and commitment to the enhance- ment of diversity on campus. As the most important people on this campus, it is time for stu- dents to step up to the plate and do our part in this long-needed initia- tive. For six months, we have been in constant dialogue with the chan- cellor and his staff on how ECU can best begin the healing process as it relates to promoting positive race relations and cultural sensitivity. It is very easy to complain about a situation, the hard part is to bring possible solutions to the table in which everyone can live with. When recognizing the increas- ing challenges that colleges and universities face in sustaining and expanding educational and social opportunities for an increasing di- verse population, it is important to identify and highlight innovative strategies that will promote cultural sensitivity. If ECU is committed to equality of opportunity for students, faculty and staff, regardless of race, religion, color, creed, national origin, sex, ' age, sexual orientation or disability, then it is the responsibility of each member of the ECU family to pro- mote this equality of opportunity and to make it a reality. To this end, a group of students consisting of myself, Latoya Davis, Dushun Evans, Jason Evans, Elenah Godboh, Shamika Spencer, Roderick Stevenson, Patrick Suarez and Yolanda Thigpen are proposing a series of forums and activities that will address this issue in a way that will include diverse members of the ECU community. It is hoped that these forums and activities will create discussion among the members of the ECU family which will lead to further dialogue and steps toward greater harmony among the diverse popu- lation in this community. The first forum will be held Wednesday, Oct. 27 in MendenhaB Student Center, which will consist of a student panel discussion. The second will be on Monday, Nov. 15 featuring a panel discus- sion. Several students, faculty and staff have already made commit- ments to be a part of this I challenge each student, orgav- nlzation and facultystaff member to become a part of this effort to make ECU a leader in promoting positive race relations and cultural sensitivity. If you accept the challenge, please contact me at the e-mail address below or call me at 328- 3755 or 328-1680. We have the opportunity to build new, strong, diverse relation- ships, or we can allow the human tendency to reject differences and limit the development of the ECU community. The choice is ours.

Letter to the Editor Immature behavior not welcome on campus Dear Editor: Riding the commuter shuttle today, I witnessed an appalling dis- play of immaturity and ignorance. The commuter shuttle, upon reaching Christenbury Gym, was flooded with students (as is usual) and quickly reached its capacity of passengers. As people continued to pack tightly together, the driver de- cided that the bus at this point could not safely transport any more people to their destination. She carefully pulled the bus out of the bus stop and traveled only a few feet to the nearest stoplight. As the bus driver waited at the intersection in front of Christenbury Gym two young ladies approached the front door of the bus in hopes of being able to ride the already-crowded bus. However, the bus driver knew that she could neither legally nor safely carry any other people at the time, so she had to turn them away until the next round. The stoplight turned green, and the bus drove away to its next stop. As the bus pulled away one of the young ladies proceeded to call the bus driver a "bitch I could not believe the ignorance and ungrate- fulness this young lady displayed by using such derogatory language; thus, I felt it necessary to address the situation. This incident is not the first of this type of insolent behavior that I have seen while riding the bus. I have witnessed passengers demand- ing the bus divers to let them off at busy intersections (which are not designated as stops). I have also seen students ungratefully stick up their middle finger at bus drivers who cannot fit any more students on to their crowded bus. Passengers of the ECU transit buses need to be aware, primarily, that the bus drivers know their job and do it well. Each bus driver has to take extensive state examinations to do what they are doing. There- fore, they are qualified in their judg- ments of safety issues for the buses they are driving. IF the bus driver tells you that they cannot take anymore passen- gers, please trust and respect their judgments because they are licensed to make those decisions. These bus drivers have your safety in mind; In addition, passengersjneedjo be grateful to the bus drivers for the service the they provide. The bus drivers are students just like you with tests, quizzes, papers and other worries similar to your own con- cerns. Instead of giving the drivers an attitude try telling them "thank you" once in a while. It would make their job a whole lot easier. I am aware that it is not a joy to miss the bus, but before you lef your temper get the best of you, please think rationally before acting irra- tionally. Remember that the bus driver is fully capable of making accurate judgment about his or her job. And, finally keep in mind that the bus will make other rounds� you will get to your destination safely! Joanna Woods Senior Political Science Affirmative Action has place in society Dear Editor: In regard to Chris Sachs' piece on discrimination, Mr. Sachs over- looks the fact that such an instru- ment already exists, the resume. There is no personal informa- tion on a resume, no picture, and using your initial instead of a first name is common, when Mr. Sachs is no longer applying to Burger King he will find this out. Second, he forgot to name a few other groups whose charters are EX- PRESSLY racist and exclusive: The Black Panthers and the NAACP. These organizations have charters that "are for the advancement of people of color changing only a few words produces that of the AARP, a few more words makes the KKK, and a few more get the pic- ture, Chris? Don't assume that because those whose charters support the ad- vancement of whites are the only racist, sexist, ageist bigots around, the are only the most vocal. As for ridding us of quotas, sev- eral books come to mind which will best show the overwhelming sup- port for the abolishment of Affirma- tive Action. However, the people for whom it was created are the very ones who will ultimately cry out for it to stay. It is a crutch, I agree, but it has been forced on us for so long that many wouldn't try to stand without it. Joe Schlatter The East Carolinian www.tec.ecu.edu FEATURES Thursday, Oct. 7, 1999 featuresOstudentmedia.ecu.edu Tipsfor cleaning house after the storm Open up the house. If the humidity outside is lower than it is indoors, open all the doors and windows to exchange the moist indoor air for drier outdoor air. At night when the humidity is higher outdoors, close up the house. Use fans. A fan will help to circulate the air throughout the house. Don't use central air conditioning or the fur- nace blower if your duct work was underwater. They will blow out dirty air that may contain contami- nants from the sediment left in the duct work. Consult with a contractor. There are contractors who spe- cialize in flood restoration. Make sure you work with a reputable, insured contractor. Unfortunately, there are unscrupulous individuals who take advantage of disaster vic- tims. Wallboard Most ceilings are covered with wallboard, especially in new homes. Wallboard that has been soaked by floodwater presents a ; permanent health hazard. It is rec- ommended that you throw out all ; flooded wallboard. If the wallboard . has been soaked by clean rainwa- ter, it can be dried in place with ' plenty of fresh air moving through '� the area. Plaster Plaster will survive a flood bet- ter than wallboard. It should not j have to be replaced but it will take ! a long time to dry. Sometimes the I plaster will separate from the wood � laths as it dries, in this case the j wall will have to be removed and ; replaced. Insulation There are j three main types of insulation and each reacts dif- ferently to flood waters. Styrofoam i survives best. However, in contam- ! inated waters, it should be I replaced. I Wood If allowed to dry naturally, wood ' will generally regain its original � shape. Some contaminants will i stay in the wood pores after it ( dries, but much more stays in flood- ! ed wallboard. Ceilings Check for sagging ceilings and drain them carefully. If the flood waters went above your ceiling, replace it if it's made of wallboard. A plaster ceiling will eventually dry, but if it has too many cracks or sags, it will have to be torn down and replaced. Remove any wet insulation in the ceiling to allow the joints to dry. Walls Remove water trapped within your walls. To check for water, take off the baseboard. Stick a knife into the wall about two inch- es above the floor. If water drips out, cut or drill a hole large enough to allow water to drain freely. INFORMATION WAS COMPILED � NC STATE UNIVERSITY.

Dm Sonic people consider themselves to be poor because they are living below the poverty line, which is $16,684 for a family of four, in the United States, even if they are earning a steady income or collecting Welfare from the government. In other countries, people literal- ly fight every day to get enough food to keep their children's emaci- ated bodies from wasting away completely. These individuals depend on the generosity of those more fortunate, and these dona- tions usually come from charities. Charities rely on the generosity of individuals to help those in need. Whether people give money or volunteer their time, the work of many people make beneficial orga- nizations possible. Many people are skeptical about the validity of these charity organi- zations and the percentage of the money donated that really goes toward their specific cause. To pre- vent false charities from profiting, the National Charities Information Bureau (NCIB) was formed. The NCIB evaluates over 400 organizations annually, making sure that the organizations are in ordi- nance with their rules and regula- tions. "We have been doing this since 1918 said Dan I.angin, director of public information. "NCIB was created by concerned citizens who were surprised by the amount of organizations that were popping up trying to make money The NCIB requires that each organizatio" spends at least 60 cents of each dollar on the cause (instead of on fund-raising and overhead). They each must be guided by a board of trustees or directors who have the same goals in mind us those who are making contributions, and publish a state- ment clearly saying where the con- tributions are being spent, not just an abstract "good cause One of the charities that meet all of the Bureau's rules and regula- tions is the Make a Wish Foundation. Its purpose is to grant wishes for children between the ages of two and 18 who have life- threatening diseases. "So far the organization has granted 600 wishes said Jennifer Cilatthaar, the administrative assis- tant at the office in Raleigh. The national division was estab- lished in 1980, and it granted its first wish for a 7-year-old boy with leukemia in Arizona. The Arizona Department of Public Safety grant- ed the boy's wish to be a police offi- cer by presenting him with a cus- tom-made uniform, helmet and badge and took him on a helicopter ride. The closest chapter to Greenville is in Raleigh, and according to Glatthaar, its territory- consists of the 49 counties east of the AlamanceOrange County line. "There are only two full-time and one-part time paid employees but over 120 volunteers that assist in granting wishes, public speaking and administrative work Glaatthar said. When a person donates to Make a Wish, the majority of the funds goes to the cause. "Eighty-eight percent of all donations go to the charity Glatthaar said. "The other 12 per- cent of the donations go to fund- raisers and administration Randy F.llis, a reporter for the Daily Okltihoman, and two of his col- leagues have been writing a series of articles on the Feed the Children fund which they suspected for hav- ing misspent their money that was donated to them to help their char- ity.

In that moment, I knew we had entered a new era, and I was in awe of our accom- plishments When asked whom Smith would invite to his own hypothet- ical banquet, he cites certain leg- endary people because of their unique characteristics and knowl- edge. Lenin, Hider and Stalin would be guests because each could offer their views of what it must take for a man to believe he holds the key to a nation's problems and what brings man to become a self-pronounced savior. Watson and Crick would be there because they showed a glimpse into the very core of man. Name Dr. Archie Smith Department Sociology deciphering the double helix. Mozart, Picasso and O'Keefe would be invited for bringing a vision of genius and creation in form and function to the world, along with Churchill, a wit, prime minister and historian who recorded his own acts during a tumultuous period in his own time. Nieztche and Gandhi, who were brilliant men trying to dis- cover the true nature of man, as well as Ghengis Khan ant) Alexander the Great, who were invaders, leaders and men of fate would also be there. These are the men and women that Smith would share his table with, in order to gain a better understand- ing of humanity from the very people who created it. The role of a cultural observer as a sociologist is an integral part of Smith's teaching style, and ho shares his experiences and anec- dotes with his classes. He will bj retiring at the end of the school year. "If 1 could give only one piece of advice to a person growing up in this time lit would be): Teach; yourself to be flexible; flexibility makes a person more receptive); innovative, tolerate and willing to understand change Smith said. Smith is a teacher, mechanic, cultural commentator and closet, philosopher whose words and sto ries offer his students a view of his nature, while his heroes and, curiosity reflect his beliefs and; values.

The Pirates have used a balanced offense to bolt out of the blocks to a 5-0 start. One of ECU's shining stars is starting fullback Jamie Wilson. Wilson, who is a native of Greenville, has rushed for 515 yards and four touchdowns this sea- son. Wilson gives Head Coach Steve Logan a strong back on which to carry the emphasis of the running game. "Jamie has been an all-around good back this year Logan said. "He catches the ball well, blocks well and runs well. He doesn't have any weaknesses Logan feels Jamie has pro- gressed throughout his football career at ECU. "Midway through his red-shirt freshman year he decided he wanted to be a player and has real- ly dedicated himself to it Logan said. Wilson is also very happy as well as excited about this season. He feels the team as a whole is doing very well. "This is very good for the team Wilson said. "We worked hard this season and we are getting everything we deserve Coming out of Greenville's D.H. Conley High School, Wilson was highly recruited by rival uni- versities such as N.C. State and South Carolina. "When I came on my official visit, the coaches seem to accept me real well and the team was real close Wilson said. "At a couple of other schools I visited the play- ers didn't seem as close as they were here Quarterback David Garrard, who is also having a wonderful sea- son is happy to have a player of Wilson's caliber in his backfield. "He is a good back, very atten- tive and he knows what is going on on the field Garrard said. "He could probably even be the back up quanerback because he knows so much about the offense. He is a pretty good key back there Although Wilson is a terror to deal with on the Held for the opposing team, both coaches and teammates feel Wilson is nothing less than a class act off of the field. "He is a great kid off of the field Logan said. "He is a real good student, one of our team leaders and there has never been a minute that you have to wonder or worry about what he is doing. He has a great head on his shoulders Pirates prepare for Southern Miss Football team faces tough conference test as Golden Eagles invade Dowdy-Ficklen Stephen Schramm SPORTS EDITOR The ECU football team is finally on the same page on and off the field. For three weeks the Pirate squad occupied two very different worlds. Their lives on the field could not have been any better. Wins over South Carolina, nationally ranked Miami and Army saw the Pirates climb into the top 25 for the first time in three sea- sons. Off the field, the team dealt with Hurricane Floyd and the damage the storm left in its wake. "We lost our apartment said Arnie Powell, split end. "A couple of guys lost their apartments, like 20,25 of us. We're just trying to make it now Over the past two weeks, the team has been able to recover from the hurricane and move on. "The people have lost a lot of stuff, but they're still main- taining their work ethic on the field said quarterback David Garrard. "It's tough, but they're getting through this The players who lost their homes have found new places to live and life is beginning to return to normalcy. "I keep telling them, 'you guys were the lucky ones said Head Coach Steve Logan. "There are people still living in shel- ters With the players' personal lives finally catching up to the success of their football lives, the Pirates now prepare for one of the season's toughest tests, Southern Miss. "This is one of the tough ones Garrard said. "I thought Miami might have been one of the toughest, but this one prob- ably means a little more to us because if s a conference game The Golden Eagles come into Saturday's game at 2-2. Their two losses came at the hands of Nebraska and Texas A&M. The Golden Eagles lost to Nebraska by only six points in Lincoln. Southern Miss notched wins over Tulane and North- western State at home in Hattiesburg to begin the season. In both wins Southern Miss scored over 40 points. In last season's 41-7 loss to Southern Miss, the Pirates were unable to contain USM's freshman running back Derrick Nix. Nix returns this season and is averaging 97 rushing yards per game. In addition to the Southern Miss running game, a duo of talented receivers spread the field. All-American candidate Sherrod Gideon and Todd Pinkston should present a challenge to the Pirate secondary. Southern Miss has won the past three meetings with ECU, and two of the meetings were in Greenville. To beat the Golden Eagles Saturday, the Pirates will need a total effort. "I think everybody is going to have to show up Garrard said. "I think we're going to have to need passing game, de- fense, running game and everybody to step up. We've got to play hard all the way down to the last wire to win the game The last two times the Pirates faced Southern Miss it was Southern Miss who sat atop the conference. This season, it is ECU who is leading C-USA. "We just gotta come out and play our game, not make any mistakes, turnovers said Norris McCleary. "Defense has got to get turnovers.

Tennis team returns to courts after hurricane Men, women compete at Campbell Susanne Milenkevich SENIOR WRITER ECU's men's and women's ten- nis teams proved successful last weekend with strong finishes de- spite missing many practices and two tournaments because of Hurri- cane Floyd. The Lady Pirates sent three play- ers to UNC Wilmington for the 1999 UNC-W Fall Tennis Invita- tional. After two days of tournament play, sophomore Andrea Terrill fin- ished second in Flight 4 action af- ter a loss in the finals to Coastal Carolina's Dana Goffin, 6-1, 6-1. "We all played well considering we had little time to prepare for the tournament Terrill said. "We should be ready for the next one though Sophomore Maria Carolina Torres of Montevideo, Uruguay also finished second in her Flight after falling to Campbell's Kerstin Stockinger in the finals 6-2, 7-5. ECU freshman Emily Kohl made her debut in collegiate play and fin- ished third in Flight 2 with a con- solation victory over Coastal Carolina's Wissa Benkhakifa. "The level of play is higher Kohl said of her first college tour- nament. "Right off the bat I had hard matches Torres and Kohl teamed up in doubles play to capture third place in Flight 1. The women will take to the clay again Oct. 22-23 when they travel to Buies Creek for the Campbell In- vitational. While the ladies put on a show In Wilmington, the men traveled to Norfolk, Va. to play at the East Coast "We all played well considering we had little time to prepare for the tournament. We should be ready for the next one though ANDREA TERRILL SOPHOMORE Championships hosted by Old Do- minion University. The Pirates began the tourna- ment with a strong showing Friday posting an impressive 3-1 record on the day.

"Considering the circum- stances, I think that we did a good job after not having practiced a great deal over the past couple of weeks Sophomore Michael Huez won three consecutive Flight C singles matches before losing to James Madison's Troy Stone, 6-3, 6-4. Freshman Tobias Boren made his Pirate debut with a win in Flight B last Friday before losing Saturday to Campbell's Julian Tejada, 7-6, 6-0. Rounding out ECU's singles play, junior Oliver Thalen advanced in Flight B after posting a win Friday but lost Saturday to Old Dominion's Rodrigo Laender, 6-1, 6-3.

Tickets will be available for State game Offered on first-come, first-serve basis Stephen Schramm SPORTS EDITOR Student tickets for ECU'S home game vs. N.C. State will be available Monday, Oct. 11 through Wednesday, Oct. 13. Tickets will be available only at the Central Ticket Office at Minges Coliseum. The tickets will be free with an ECU One Card. Guest tickets will be available at the regular ticket price of $30. The game is scheduled for Nov. 20. The highly anticipated game will mark N.C. State's first trip to Greenville. The tickets will be made avail- able over a month in advance in re- sponse to the large demand ex- pected for tickets to the game. An- other reason they are available early is to give others a chance to buy tick- ets. "We need time for any tickets left after the students get a chance to get them to go on sale to the gen- eral public said Brenda Edwards, ticket office manager. So far, the game has not been picked up by a television carrier, though ECU has appeared on FoxSports and ESPN2 this season. "Nobody has picked it up yet, but we may not know until 10 or 12 days out said Norm Reilly, sports Information director. Tickets to the game should go fast as the demand for them will be very high. N.C. State will be the final game of the season. ECU is ranked in both the ESPNUSA Today and AP polls and the Pirates remain undefeated. Should the Pi- rates continue winning, the game will take on added importance. The rivalry between ECU and N.C. State has at times been the most heated in the state. That should stand to make the game extremely important. "I think it's the most antici- pated game of the season said Greg Laurie, junior biology ma- jor. "Miami was good but there's something about us and State; we just don't like each other This writer can be reached at sports@studentmedia.ecu.edu. Swim team looks to dominate in '99 Pirate prospects good Peter Dawyot SENIOR WRITER As the ECU swim team prepares to dive into the season, many changes and additions should strengthen the team and possibly bring them back to glory days of national championships. With some unfortunate set- backs due to Hurricane Floyd, both the men's and women's swim teams will not host the Purple Gold meet�an annual event which was to be held Thursday, Oct. 7. The meet Is an intra-squad match up which is traditionally a formal introduction to the team before the season begins. "Unfortunately, because of lost training time, we had to revamp the early season schedule said Head Coach Rick Kobe. "We are eliminating the yearly pentathlon that the team doles, we're cancel- ing the PurpleGold meet and we will only swim two days instead of three at the Carolina Invitational After the Lady Pirates came off an 8-2 season with a third place fin- ish in the CAA Championship, along with a mediocre 5-5 fifth place finish for the men's team, Kobe looks toward the development of past players as well as the addi- tion of the new class to improve the squad's records. The men are bringing in three Junior National Qualifiers with Pat Bonds, Casey Charles and Chris Miller. The women's team has also made some significant additions with the signing of YMCA National Finalist Leslie Baronklin, along with a pair of Junior National Qualifiers, Aryn Letterman and Abbey Stallworth. "We are extremely happy with the athletes we are bringing in the fall Kobe said. This year, both teams hope to put last year's season behind them while looking to develop many of their returners which should help both teams. The men have 16 of the simmers from last year returning, combined with the 26 returning for the women. This should create a strong seasoned squad which could bring back memories of former days when ECU reigned at the top of the division for swimmers. High turnover has not been lim- ited to just the swimmers. Two new assistant coaches for the swimming and diving teams were hired over the summer. Chris Feaster was added to the staff as assistant swim- ming coach and Kelly McCarthy has been added to the staff as a diving coach. While the cancellation of the PurpleGold meet may leave fans out, they will not be disappointed for long. Kobe will be working with the new additions along with the entire team to better prepare for the upcoming meet against CAA rival James Madison. The meet will kick off the season on Oct. 15 at 5 p.m. in Minges Aquatic Center. This writer can be reached at pdawyot@studentmedia.ecu.edu. If The East Carolinian www.tec.ecu.edu SPORTS Thursday, Oct. 7, 1999 sports@studentmedia.ecu.edu Southern Miss coach not ESPN reporter stands by story about Tennessee athletes surprised at No. 16 ECU HATTIESBURG, Miss. (AP) � There are many people who may be surprised at 16th-ranked East Carolina's 5-0 start, but don't count Southern Mississippi coach Jeff Bower among them. "If you look at what I said in the preseason, when I was asked who I thought would win this conference, the first name out of my mouth was East Carolina Bower said Monday during his weekly news conference. After a week of following con- secutive road losses to top 25 teams, Southern Miss (2-2,1-0 C-USA), the preseason pick to win Conference USA, travels Saturday to East Caro- lina (5-0, 1-0). "They've got talent, new life on defense with the new coordinator there and their quarterback is much more consistent than he was a year ago Bower said of the Pirates. Southern Miss has won all three games against the Pirates since C- USA play began in 1996, and holds a commanding 18-6 series lead. The Eagles won 41-7 last year in Hattiesburg. The lopsided series margin, how- ever, isn't a comfort for Bower, whose team preceded the open date with a 20-13 loss at fourth-ranked Nebraska and a 23-6 loss at No. 13 Texas A&M. When asked how the Pirates match up with Southern Miss' last two opponents, Bower responded, "They're pretty darn good. East Carolina is a team that is resilient and finds a way to win The Eagles took advantage of the open date to work with younger players. Bower said most of the work last week included younger players working out Tuesday and Wednes- day and then scrimmaging Thurs- day. "A lot of our emphasis was placed on getting better at funda- mentals, assignments, not only of- fensively but defensively Bower said. "It came at a pretty good time, the week off, it gave us an opportu- nity to hold out some of the guys. After four tough games from a physical standpoint, we're in pretty good shape. Barring injury between now and game time, we should be at full strength Senior linebacker TJ. Slaugher, who had 20 tackles against Texas A&M, has returned to practiced af- ter off-week surgery to repair liga- ments in his hand. Bower said Slaughter wouldn't have been able Report alleges tutor did work for athletes NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) � An e- mall tip by a University of Tennes- see athlete led to an ESPN investi- gation into allegations athletic de- partment tutors did schoolwork for athletes, the organization says. "Ideally, the TV report, because it reaches so many people, piques people's interest said ESPN.com re- porter Tom Farrey. "Then you go online, and dig deeper Farrey said Friday's reinstate- ment of four suspended players "doesn't conflict at all with what we reported. "We reported that there was a breakdown in the communication of possible NCAA violations with in the institution he said. "That's an issue of institutional control that has yet to be dealt with Farrey said a male athlete e- mailed him in response to his Web query about student athletes, tell- ing him: "I'm tired of professors on cam- pus thinking that because I am an athlete I don't care about school or 1 get improper help or whatever. This has to stop University of Tennessee Presi- dent J. Wade Gilley said the four athletes were cleared by the South- eastern Conference to play in Saturday's game against Auburn af- ter investigators found nothing in- dicating any wrongdoing by the players. The University of Tennessee is continuing its investigation of alle- gations athletic department tutors did schoolwork for athletes, a pos- sible violation of school honor codes and NCAA rules. The allegations were first posted Sunday night on ESPN's Web site, ESPN.com, then reported on ESPN's SportsCenter in the same hour. Farrey called the athlete's e-mail "a moment of conscience" and said others who assisted him "were con- cerned that eligibility (at Tennessee) was more important than educa- tion Farrey, 35, joined ESPN.com four years ago. He broke his first story Investi- gating collegiate athletic programs as a student at the University of Florida, for the campus newspaper, The Alligator. In 1992, at The Seattle Times, Farrey wrote about a University of Washington quarterback who took a $50,000 loan. Washington, the reigning national champion, was later placed on probation. Players return to practice as police wrap up investigation Warrick, Coles among suspects Florida State wide receiver Peter Warrick returned to practice Tues- day while authorities tried to wrap up their investigation into a $244 retail theft at a local shopping mall. "There are some loose ends they (police) are out tying up Leon County State Attorney Willie Meggs said Tuesday. "We have met with the police (and) they'll get back to us when they're done and some deci- sion will be made Scott Hunt, spokesman for the Tallahassee Police Department, said Monday that Warrick and receiver Laveranues Coles "are going to be witnesses or suspects Meggs said no decision was likely until at least Thursday. The top-ranked Seminoles play Miami on Saturday. The 22-year-old Warrick is the team's leading receiver with 36 catches for 508 yards and four touchdowns. "I don't like distractions coach Bobby Bowden said Monday night. However, he wouldn't speculate on what action, if any, he might take against the players. However, the players sounded confident Tuesday they would be cleared of any wrongdoing. "We'll be all right said Warrick, who conceded he is learning about the pressures of being one of the nation's most recognized college players. "Everybody's watching he said Tuesday. "When I'm doing good they talk about me. When I'm doing bad they talk about me. I'm just trying to walk a straight line and do what's right While Warrick practiced Tues- day night, Coles did not.

Graham, who started the first four games, was injured in last Sunday's 16-15 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. He threw three interceptions against Philadelphia, one returned for a touchdown, and his status as the starter was in question. Giants coach Jim Fassel said he would evaluate Graham's performance and would announce his starter Wednes- day. The injury made the decision for him. Graham was examined Monday by neurologist Peter Tsairis of the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City. "All Giants are given neurologi- cal evaluations in the preseason and this information is used to deter- mine any change in their neurologi- cal status Dr. Russell Warren, the team's orthopedic surgeon said. "A battery of tests on Kent on Monday showed some significant alteration. At this point he is still symptom- atic and will be evaluated on an ongoing basis. My recommenda- tions to the Giants is that Kent not play this week Collins, a free agent who signed From page 10 vestigation of a tan hat and four shirts with a total estimated value of $244. The merchandise was ap- parently sold Sept. 29 to the play- ers for far less money by a clerk be- ing investigated by police and store security. "It's not like we grabbed clothes and ran out Coles said. "It's not for nearly $17 million in the offseason despite a troubled past, was 6-of-12 for 86 yards and led the Giants on the game-winning field goal drive after replacing Graham In the third quarter Sunday. How- ever, the drive included a fumble by Collins. "Kerry will start. After listening to the doctors, obviously the mpost improtant thing is not to put Kent at greater risk Fassel said. "The doctors told me because of the con- cussion Kent suffered Sunday, he will be more susceptible to concus- sions this week. If Kent were to sus- tain another concussion, we would be looking at a longer period of in- activity The Giants offense has struggled since the start of the season, al- though Graham has not been solely to blame. Before the injury, Graham threw three horrible interceptions on plays he forced passes into coverage. Fassel said it was almost as if Graham (15-of-29 for 171 yards) predetermined where he was going to throw the ball and didn't bother making any reads on the plays. Two Eagles literally battled for the ball on the third pick. "After that last one, he forced it right into the teeth of the defense, I said I have to take him out of the ballgame Fassel said. Since becoming the Giants coach, Fassel has changed quarter- backs in each of his first two sea- sons. Danny Kanell took over for an injured Dave Brown (pectoral) In 1997 and led the Giants to the NFC East title, posting a 7-2-1 record as a starter. New York won five of six games at the end of last season after Gra- ham replaced Kanell as the starter. "There Is no question In my mind that I am aware when I made the quarterback switch the team has taken off Fassel said You weigh all those factors Collins, the fifth overall pick in the 1995 draft, led New York on an 11 -play, 67-yard march that resulted in Brad Daluiso's game-winning 23- yard field goal with 7:43 to play. The question about Collins is: Is he ready? This is his first year in Fassel's offense and he hasn't gotten many reps since training camp ended. He also struggled mightily last season in Carolina and New Orleans in a season marred by a drunken driv- ing arrest in North Carolina. Fassel isn't sure whether Collins is ready, although he said he has made a lot of progress. "If I am going to make any moves I want to make sure that guy is ready to play and to improve the play Fassel said. "I don't want to go. backwards. I want immediate better play from the position "It's not an easy situation Collins said. "I think we both real- ize things like yesterday happen and it doesn't necessarily mean that per- manent change is going to come like that at all. They wanted to ques- tion us about some things. We went and answered some questions and that's it Coles and Warrick were each ar- rested in 1998 in separate incidents. Coles was charged with simple battery, a misdemeanor, in a domes- tic incident when he allegedly struck his stepmother outside her home. He was suspended for last year's opener against Texas A&M and later served 150 hours of com- munity service. He also was sus- pended for this year's opener for academic reasons. Warrick was charged with disor- derly conduct and resisting arrest, both misdemeanors, for an alterca- tion in the parking lot of a Tampa fast-food restaurant. The charges were eventually dropped.

The Dixie Chicks, those plucky little blonde country maestros that took the country by storm a year and a half ago with their major labd debut Wide Optn Spaces, are here to serve up a second helping of what they do best: looking pretty. To the naked eye, that is what these girls are all about, what with their MTV Music Awards appearance, wearing all the trendy clothes and sporting the Courtney Love-ish black streaks through their blonde hair. Hut the whole glamour thing is just a cha- rade. These girls arc the finest and most pure thing to hit the country music airwaves since, well, anybody but Shania. These gals are doing something that not many country stars arc doing these days, namely playing their own instruments. These girls play banjo, guitar, fiddle, dobro and lap steel gui- tar. That, to me, is reason enough to buy the new album as well as their previous four. Hut instead, an even better reason to buy the new album Fly is because it is so darn great. It sports a wide vari- ety of styles, including soft ballads, angry-chick-getting-even ditties, and even gospel-bluegrass. I for one am proud to have such a self-serving PLAY LIKE GIRLS band making it big. For these girls, music is the main thing, the only thing. It serves as a bridge between generations and genres. Most of the songs are standouts, but the best song on the disk is "Ready to Run which is the Chicks' current radio single. You can tell that the band doesn't care about what Nashville audiences are used to by the opening intro a la fiddle and tin whis- tle. And though it sounds quite Irish, it's one of the reasons that the Chicks' popularity has been stable since Wide Open Spaces began falling from the top 10. This is the song that was fea- tured in last summer's hit movie Runaway llriile. But to bank this disc's success on just one song is irrational, especially when the material is as good as this. The only thing that keeps it from being a revelation in country music is the inclusion of the song "Goodbye Earl which is about getting back at a man who didn't like their cooking by killing him. Another wasted track is "Hole in My Head which is just lead singer Natalie Maines shouting need a boy like you like a hole in my head So obviously, don't look for these chicks to turn into full-blown hens anytime soon. But then again, their carefree innocence is what makes them so darn attractive. Well, that and their Outfits.

Size, continued from page t SIZE DOES MATTER Where can you shake the most booty for your buck? Ryan Kennemur Senior Writer As "the man you can probably guess that I have quite a bit of respon- sibility. When someone gives you a label, or "moniker" such as that, then it is your right and duty to do any- thing and everything to uphold it. So when my editor at The Fotmhiinhaul came to me and said, "Ryan, I need you to do something different this week. Don't get me wrong. I love your CD reviews and your jaded little opinion columns, but I need you to actually do some work this time I started to protest. Then she came back withRyan, if you don't do an article about dance floors, then your status as'the man' will promptly be relinquished So what would you have done, Bubba? Before I knew it, I was going downtown and asking club managers if I could measure their dance floors. Apparently, some people have had difficulties deciding which club down- town has the most room that caters to booty shakin. And as a bonus to you good readers, I decided that this arti- cle would be a good place to let you know about the best drink specials downtown. So without further ado The club with the most dance space is the Attic! It boasts two giant dance floors (21 'X45' and 25'X31') and the most notable entertainment to come to the area, headlining bands such as Better than Ezra, 2 Skinnee J's and most recently, the Long Beach Dub All Stars, formerly known as Sublime. Their most popular drink special is the1.50 hi-ball on Wednesday evening, which happens to be their Comedy Zone night. "Buying out the Firehouse was a really great thing because now we're getting more and more people coming off of Fifth Street, said Dan Heath, assistant manager of the Attic "Also, it gives us twice the dance space Second Place goes to Pantana Bob's, which features two dance areas that together are about the size of The Attic and a different mood altogether. It's also home to one of the more pop- ular drink specials. "Every Friday night they have draft beer for a quarter said Maura Jackson, sophomore. "I like going there because it's very relaxed and they have a great DJ Third Place is a tie between the Cellar and the Sports Pad. They both have fairly large dance floors, and the Sports Pad has recently remodeled and moved the pool tables from the center to another room, giving it the look of an entirely different club. It is going to be renamed Five Points because patrons can now choose from five distinctly themed rooms for dancing, playing pool, singing karaoke and watching sports TV. The best drink special at The Cellar is Thursday night penny draft, and the Sports Pad offers "Group Therapy which is your choice of four shots and a pitcher of draft for $8. "I like the Sports Pad a lot more since they remodeled itsaid Vance Daniels, juniorThey've got a pretty big dance floor now and it's right in front of the bar, so you don't have far to walk Now that that's out of the way, let's talk more about drink specials, because I know some of you out there are quite fond of the occasional sip. Hooray Harry's caters to an older crowd. This is a straight up bar, plain and simple. Wednesday night is 50 cent night. Cheap Shot O'Malley's has all domestics and h i � balls for only a buck on Thursday nights, so make sure you pop in for a visit to get your fix. Peasant's Cafe has a relaxed atmos- phere that is the perfect wingman for their Tuesday night stapleMug Night Bring a mug with a handle but without a spout and the bartender will fill it to the rim for a dollar. Perfect for those Wednesday morning exam nights. Wrong-Way Corrigan's has $1.50 domestics and hi -balls on Sundays. College is all about being well- informed. Now you can rest easy, knowing that the Founttunhead is doing you downtown homework. If you don't believe it, takea tape mea- sure with you this weekend.

Well, it's out now and no one seems to be complaining Utopia Parkway is among the best pop albums I have heard. Fans of Matthew Sweet take note. There's not a bad song on the entire album. Not everyone is a standout, but there are Fourtains of Wayne rebounds something radio-friendly and more than three chords. Artists like Elliott Smith, Weczer and Fountains of Wayne come to mind. The latter, Fountains of Wayne, have been taking their time for the past three years trying to perfect what they do best�hook-heavy pop. Their first album, which was self-titled, came out in 1996 to rave reviews. It was a masterpiece of power pop integrity. The band was then sought out by Tom Hanks to write the title song to his movkf That Thing You Do The band obliged and performed the song on the soundtrack as well as the rest of the songs the "Wonders" were supposedly playing. The song was a radio hit and I for one thought that it would open a door or two and get some of the band's other music on the radio. But it turns out their story ran parallel to that of the band in the film; namely they were one-hit wonders. The band was vocal about their dis- gust towards the radio stations, and many of the band's followers didn't know what to expect from the new no throwaways. The band pretty much takes up from where they left off with their first album and stirs in some Oasis, Kula Shaker and Jars of Clay. The biggest difference between these bands and Fountains of Wayne is that these other bands always want to make a point. Fountains of Wayne couldn't care less, and show that senti- ment with songs like "Hat and Feet which is what the singer croons about how small he felt when his girl dumped him, and "Laser Show which is about a laser show that fea- tures the music of Metallica. A sample lyric from this says it all. "We're gonna sit back, relax, watch the stars with James and Jason, Kirk and Lars in an era of musk that thinks it matters more than it actually does (i.e. Matchbox 20and Limp Bizkit). this sense of humor is a welcome change of pace.

Since Sublime doesn't record anymore, we've spent our days searching out old bootlegs, striving to finish our collections. Following the tragic and untimely death of lead singer Bradley Nowdl, Sublime went into a state of shock. No other members in their band and ensemble recorded any music and it looked like the Sublime we came to know and love went the way of the Dodo. Three years passed. The surviving members, Eric and Bud, came together to form the next incarnation of Sublime. They decided J against calling the new J band "Sublime" because they fdt that the late t Bradley Nowdl was THE Sublime so instead they used the name of a troupe of D)s out of So Cal, going with the name "Long Beach Dub All Stars And so it was written Before the hurricane so ruddy inter- rupted our production schedule, I was given the dubious assignment of reviewing the Long Beach Dub All Stars concert at the Attic.

If so, then the testosterone-packed action filmThe 13th Warrior based on the novel called "Eaters of the Dead" by Michael Crichton, is your I ypc of flick. It seems that simply because Crichton has both authored and created such blockbusters as "Jurassic Park"and "Disclosure"as well as the TV show "ER he has enough pull in Hollywood to get essentially whatever he wants onscreen. The ever-so-lovely Antonio Randeras heads the cast of a handful of Norwegian actors as he por- trays a 10th century Arabic - man banished from his home- land. Surprisingly, even to him, Banderas is chosen as the 13th t warrior on a mission to save a small northern kingdom from a the cannibalistic creatures that t prey on their village. As the film commences, Randeras is introduced to the foreign-speaking band of blondes and proves to be a quick study, picking up on their barbaric language in a matter of five minutes. Although it lakes a lit- tle longer than that to gain the band's confidence and trust, Randeras gels the job done and actually develops a unique bond with the Vikings. Director John McTiernan ("Die Hard" and "The Thomas Crown Affair") does a truly fabulous job of depicting the culture and point in his- tory with a cold-blooded efficiency. However, it's no "Mask of Zorro Perhaps the only similarity is Randeras' use of a sword. Randeras more or less supplies his audience with an average film that is bearable only because of his role in it. Without his presence, the shady band of See Hero, continued on page 7 Video Review "CITIZEN KANE" OFFERS TIMELESS DRAMA Kenny Smith Staff Writer Since we are heading towards a new millennium, even though it doesn't really begin until 2001, people have begun making lists of the best and worst things in any given category, Many of these people are film critics, and they really love their lists. Well.oneparlicular movie is always at or near the top of everybody's list as the best film ever made, and chances are you've probably never even heard of it. The movie is "Citizen Kane "Kane" was produced, directed and co-written in 1941by Orson Welles, who also plays the title character. I could write a book on all the things that make this movie great: the acting, cinematography.sccnery, symbolism and the list goes on. Rut since I am only granted a small seg- ment of this section I will then concen- trate on the thing that usually makes us go to movies in the first place. No, not the special effects, but the story of the JAPANESE ANIMATION DRAWS A DEVOTED CROWD Maura Buck Staff Writer We are all familiar with "Speed Racer we loved "Robotech"growing up, and more recently we've seen car- toons such as "Dragon Ball "and "Pokeman" become increasingly popu- lar in America. These are all products of Japanese animation, a media through which the Japanese have been producing films and television shows of all genres for years. It's also known as aniine, ("ANN- ee-MAY") and it's hotter than ever! Students may not know that there is an organization at our school that fosters the creativity of the Japanese. SAGA (or the "School of Anything Goes An ime") is the acronym for the organization that, over a three-year period, has grown to approximately 40 paying members. "We offer something different than what people at ECU are used tosaid Jim McNully, execu- tive committee chair of SAGA. It all began when a few anime fans on campus found that no organization focused on the unique form of art that had become a cherished hobby to them. Brian Perry, Andre Germain, Sean Miller movie. "Citizen Kane" begins with a scene in which Kane is on his deathbed clutching a snow globe, just before he dies he says one word: "RosebudThis becomes a central part of the action. A reporter played by William Alland is sent out to discover what Kane meant when he uttered that word, to find out who or what" Rosebud" is. and Robbie Proseus joined together and developed what is now known as SAGA. "Our goal is to deliver the best Japanese animal ion to our mem- bers We started in April 1996 and have only been getting stronger said Andre Germain, vice presi- dent and co-founder. Truly, it is the enthusiasm and dedication of the officers and members that make the organization work. Although anime is recognized across the coun- try, organizations such as SAGA cannot be found everywhere, especially on college campuses. Typically, the group meets on the sec- ond floor of One i merest ing thing about Alland is that we never see his face until the very end of the movie, after he's learned everything there is to learn about Charles Foster Kane. Alland goes around and talks to the people who knew Kane best, his friends. The audience is told that Kane was born to a family in Colorado in 1871, where, if luck hadn't come by he would've probably just been another country bumpkin. His family's house was built near an abandoned mine where gold was recently discovered. Kane's mother lets a banker adopt him to take him to the city so he won't have to live in, Well, the siicks. Kane grows up rich and spoiled, get- ting kicked out of the best universities and loving every second of it. When he gets control of his money at age 25 he takes control of a failing newspaper in New York City. Pouring his money into this paper, he and his associates build the Inquirer until it has posts in every major city in the country. Loosely based on the real-life news- paper tycoon William Randolph Hurst, Charles Foster Kane's character wields incredible power as the editor of this newspaper chain. He prints basically what he wants to print, starting the War with Spain in 1898 and helping the US attain the Panama Canal. As a purported champion of the See Kane, continued on page 7 the Mendenhall Student Center and not only discusses the art that has a style of its own, but also views various works of Japanese animation, includ- ing subject matter like drama, science fiction, comedy and fantasy. All ECU students are welcome to attend any meeting. "We like to have fun; it's like a three-hour release from the grind of class work McNully said, with regard to one of the benefits of the dub. After the second visit, the officers ask for a $5 membership fee each semester, at which point they grant the new member voting privileges. The fee goes towards new tapes, T-shirts and membership cards, in addition to help- ing the dub maintain operation. SAGA (foes more than hold weekly meetings; the organization is also responsible for hosting anime festivals on campus in Speight Auditorium dur- ing spring semester. "Last year, the group, amazingly enough, showed 30 straight hours of anime Germain said. See Anime, continued on page 7 Hew, continued from page 6 Scandinavian actors would be all but appealing to view on the big screen. The plot is neither fast-paced nor captivating I found myself longing for the ending throughout the middle portion of the movie.as it seems to drag on. It offers one hour and 43 minutes of complete gore, including a dual scene that leads to one soldier "losing his head literally. Truthfully, the film falls short where it really counts: in the final scenes. The scenes preceding the final confrontation are actually tar more interesting than the last few minutes. For example, when a mysterious tribe of saw-toothed savages are final- ly revealed in their underground cave carved by an incredible waterfall, the entire audience is shocked by the scene. Overall, the plot is an interesting concept, and the scenery is quite spec- Anime. continued from page 6 This gave the group an opportuni- ty to view longer works that they were otherwise unable to view during a normal three-hour session, as well as large parts of series and classic anime movies. SAGA officers are always finding new and interesting series to keep members happy. "(The group tries to expose peo- ple to anime that you can't get here in the USsaid Kevin Jordan, president of SAGA. Reportedly, the group will be rep- resentative at several regional conven- tions this year. The first is called "Anime Weekend Allanta"(Oct. 8-10); the second is "Neko-Con" (Japanese lor cat), that will be held in Virginia Reach Nov. 5-7. tacular. But, when you come right down to it, the picture is both drawn- out and honestly grotesque. It ranks, in terms of brutality, between the all-too- real wartime scenes of "Saving Private Ryan" and the scene where Kevin Cost ner takes a bite out of the buffalo heart in "Dances with Wolves. Although those movies were also violent, they seemed to justify their means through characterization and plot. Here, however, neither the charac- ters nor the plot are strong enough to carry the themes of this movie. It seems to appeal more to the 11 -year- old boy deep in the psyche of all males, with little to offer females. Oh, and if your boyfriend tries to tell you that it is also a romantic film with a passionate relationship between Randeras and a female character in the film, believe me, he's lying!

It looked like I'd be able to interview Ras, the band's new guitarist and vocalist. Obviously on some kind of powerful narcotic, Ras was not the prime interviewee. I kept trying to get an answer out of him but he took 20 minutes just to get the sounds out of his mouth to pronounce "hello dude So the band came out to a raucous ovation by the crowd and started right into the jams. Surprisingly they played an hour and 15 minute set before (he break and then started it back up again. It truly was a memorable night for any fan in attendance. They went through the Sublime mainstays and played every song from their new album Right Back. They filled the night with three hours of down-to-earth reggae and punk. Since their CD wasn't completely ready yet, they had pre-release copies of the "Trailer Ras" single for distribu- tion; lucky for us it has since come out so I will now delve into its inner dimensions to parlay a bit of relevant info about its composition, audible tendencies, and quality. I don't know if I was apprehensive about hearing new stuff from these guys, or what, but I was actually a little curious about how the new band members would affect the sound. My big question was how they could add to the base that Sublime had laid down before them. Long Reach is a completdy separate Kane, continued from page 6 working man, Kane shows no mercy towards the powerful. As an editor, he attempts to right society's wrongs. But failures in both a run at public office and his first marriage start a downhill spiral from which Kane can never recover. It's a story of the triurnph and tragedy of a man who spent his life try- ing to get people to love him.either willingly or by force, but without suc- cess. He spends his life starting things but never finishing them, and even the house he dies in, the opulent Xanadu (named after Kubla Khan's palace) was never completed. What's "Rosebud?" I'm not telling you. Besides if you just keep your eyes open while you watch TV, somebody is entity from the Sublime of the past. With a fuller sound, the result of the implementation of four new instru- ments, they take the original sound to new heights. The laid back reggae jam "Sensi"and the new single "Trailer Ras"are definite hits. There is only one truly bad song on the CD. Meaning wdl, the band did an acoustic cover of the Sublime punk dassic "Saw Red which is truly hideous. It is pure poo-poo with muck from the Tar River spread on it. Other songs, such as "Long Beach Dub" and "Rosarito"show the newfound diversi- ty of sound that these guys now pos- sess. Get the CD, now. This writer can be contacted at pmcmahon@studentmedia.ecu.edu bound to refer to it sooner or later. Kane is an incredible movie and if you haven't seen it, renting it is a very good idea. Then y'all can see what a real movie is, not this crap that they keep putting out these days.
