"When looking at East Carolina's history, we have changed dramatically as a university said Jim Kleckley of the office of Planning and Institu- tional Research. The demographics of the university include types of students, race, gender and the location of where students originate. According to one fact book, all of the informa- tion about ECU's history, students, staff, and en- rollment can be found" here. This book is an an- nual publication that provides a ready source of information to answer frequently asked questions about the University and its operations. It contains a broad spectrum of information about past and present, and its primary purposes are to promote organizational understanding and to inform. "We want to improve the quality of diversity throughout the entire student body said Ronald Speier, dean of students. "This data makes sure that we are meeting our goals. ECU becoming a more diverse student body, is making us become a better university This book is provided by the Office of Plan- ning and Institutional Research. Their job is to re- fine this document each year and they welcome comments and suggestions for improvements. According to the fact book, some of the high- lights included are that 17,799 students enrolled in the fall semester, the average SAT score for Fall 1998 first-time freshman is 1019 and 87 percent of all students are state residents. The fact book also presents information about each administrative position at ECU. It explains the positions and what that job entails. Ethnicity, enrollment by state, graduate and undergradu- ate statistics, the number of students in a par- ticular major and the size of the university Is also present in the fact book. "In comparison to other UNC-schools, ECU is the third largest university in the state of North Carolina Kleckley said. "We are behind Chapel Hill and State According to Kleckley, each university has a different goal and objective. For example, UNC is a research institution while ECU has gained doctoral status. "ECU is a regional institution although we draw students from all across the country Kleckley said. "Eastern N.C. are where the majority of our students come from Speier said. ECU is hoped to grow to be the largest uni- versity in N.C. "We have 18,220 students now Kleckley said. "We could have as many as 27,000 students within the next ten years "We are on task and reaching our goals as a university Speier said. This writer can be contacted at awberts@studentmedia.ecu.edu. SGA president looks ahead Plans to change- student payroll Terra Steinbeiser ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR The president of the SGA takes on responsibilities above and beyond that of most stu- dents. "Representation of the stu- dents is the most important part of my job said Cliff Webster, SGA president. "I also knew in my heart that it was the best part of the job after all of the events following the hurricane. 1 got to get up and represent all of our students in front of the adminis- tration and ask them for the help many students needed Webster, a graduate student in the MBA program, has taken on his executive duties with en- thusiasm. His job includes mak- ing recommendations to the leg- islature, ordering executive com- mittees and requiring reports from them, calling and presiding over meetings of the student body and acting as the chief rep- resentative of the student body in all matters, internal and ex- ternal. The SGA president is not only a representative of the students to ECU's administration, but to the entire UNC-system as well. "Cliff has meetings with Molly Broad, the president of the UNC system, and is a voting member of the ECU board of trustees said Dr. Ronald Speier, dean of students and SGA spon- sor. "He is looked upon by the chancellor and the public to bring about university issues Webster has big plans for ECU this year. "There are so many things that we want to accomplish over the rest of the year Webster said. A few of the goals the SGA is working toward is getting stu- dent payrolls done twice a month, as well as keeping the annual raise in student fees lower than five percent. The SGA also plans to spon- sor several programs, including a "legislators school" that will give students an opportunity to observe the rules and order of the school legislature. A leadership conference was scheduled for September, but was canceled due to Hurricane Floyd. Cliff Webster "It is hard to have a definite plan because issues arise haphaz- ardly during the year, like ECU wanting to have a benefit con- cert because we got hit by a hur- ricane Webster said. Webster has been involved with SGA for four years and has also had previous leadership ex- perience.

Jordan spends his time working with psychics and medi- s, as well as networking with others in his field. "What 1 believe people are seeing when they claim to encounter spirits are not necessarily souls, but their shadows Jordan said. During his presentation, Jordan shared his lat- est findings. They included photographs taken of various paranormal phenomena, a video clip from Unsolved Mysteries and a visual representation of a communion wafer that once materialized in front of Jordan's eyes. He also spent time discussing poltergeists, haunted places, apparitions and "phantom hitch- hikers Jordan defined poltergeists as "hauntlngs pre- dominated by physical movements of objects, characteristically associated with the presence of a living, pre-pubescent child These children are usually abused, and have trouble handling these emotions. "The generally accepted theory, is that such jfhtfdren,incapable of venting their anger and frus- tration, repress it until it is at the bursting point Jordan said.

"It goes to show you that you can get any- thing out of life if you set your mind to it Jones (1810-1887) was born a slave in Wake County and served several masters. After the Civil War he worked as a watchman at the Capitol, helped found the first Baptist church for African-Americans in Raleigh and played an im- portant role in local politics. His narrative provides details of his life as a slave and reflects his strong Christian beliefs.

Rivers transport water in channels of their own making and flood naturally from time to time. The interval of recurrence of a flood of a given size is predictable, assuring us that floods area natural and predictable phenomenon. Hydrologlsts have learned how to predict the recurrence interval of floods for a river based on knowledge of the shape of the river chan- nel and surrounding area, combined with records of the past response of the river to specific amounts of rainfall in the region. How do we do this? Creeks and rivers flow In channels of their own cre- ation. When precipitation occurs in the drainage ba- sin of the river, the water flows across the land surface and enters the river through smaller tributaries. The channel of a specific river has a measurable width and' depth, and we can also measure the velocity of flow- ing water. By definition, a "flood" occurs when the water In the channel of a river rises up to and begins to over- flow the channel. We express this height of water rela- tive to sea level, and we say, for example, that the Tar River in Greenville has a flood stage of 13 feet above sea level because the top of the river channel in Greenville is 13 feet above sea level. Any increase in flooding above flood stage sends water onto the area surrounding the river channel, or flood plain. A river carries more water and moves more rapidly during flood time. Hydrologists routinely use a term called "discharge" to relate the volume of water moving past a point in a stream in a given amount of time to the width, depth and velocity of a stream. For the last 100 years or so we have been measur- ing the discharges of some streams in the US. When we accumulate stream discharge records for at least 10 years, by using a simple statistical method, we can pre- dict with good confidence how often a flood that pro- duces a certain discharge will occur by trying to pre- dict over time periods equal to or less than the num- bers of years of records that we have for a given stream. We can predict "beyond our number of years of records" with less confidence, but we make these pre- dictions quite often. For example, we often hear of the 100-year flood, the 500-year flood or even the 1000-year flood. These types of flood recurrence techniques and analyses are useful and defensible, but we need to remember sev- eral important facts about them: Causes of severe flooding related to urban sprawl Dr. Stanley Riggs CONTRIBUTING WRITER The "flood of the century" resulted from at least three major factors. First, the flood was a product of two back to back hurricanes that made landfall on the North Carolina coastal plain. Hurricane Dennis dropped enough rain in early September to put the major rivers above flood stage by the time Hurricane Floyd followed the same general track two weeks later. However, two other critical factors were also respon- sible for the extreme flooding response to these storms. The second factor is related to the time period of the '60s to early '90s when eastern NC experienced extensive growth and development, but had only a few minor hurricanes. The resulting urban sprawl converted vast areas of forest and agricultural land to paved sur- faces and lawns, significantly increasing storm-water run-off that in turn increased frequency and magni- tude of flash flooding. The third factor resulted from the cumulative im- pact of severe modification of our drainage systems during that same growth period. Many tributary streams throughout eastern NC were extensively channelized and adjacent marginal uplands and asso- ciated wetlands were ditched and drained. These drain- age programs were designed to remove surface water from marginal lands quickly and efficiently for alter- nate uses including agribusiness, forestry, industry and housing. Also, expansion of the highway system resulted in many roads being constructed on fill material across floodplains with minimal-sized culvert and bridge openings over the main channels. The resulting par- tial 'road dams' significantly diminish floodplain flow when rivers and streams are in flood stage. Prior to this period of rapid growth and drainage modifications, similar storm events resulted in signifi- cantly smaller floods. In fact, larger hurricanes often did not even produce record floods. For example, in 19SS, three major hurricanes crossed the NC coastal plain between Aug. 12 and Sept. 20 and brought un- precedented rainfall (Connie, Diane and lone). According to the National Weather Service, the first two storms dropped more than 30 inches of rain on the central coastal plain with another 16 inches falling on the area during the third storm. However, river flood levels in 19S5 only reached 23.5 feet in Tarboro and 17 feet in Greenville as compared to the previous flood record of 34 feet and 24.5 feet in 1919 and the new flood record in 1999 of 38 feet and 30 feet, respectively. A river is a drainage system designed to carry sur- face water off the land and back to the oceans by grav- ity. Rivers have many parts, including the main chan- nel that carries the day to day water flow, the primary floodplain that carries the increased river volume dur- ing the rainy season and other small storms, and the secondary floodplain that carries high water volumes resulting from very large storms. The primary floodplain consists of wetland vegeta- See FLOOD, page 4 We do not know precisely when a flood of a given discharge will occur, and these analyses of the histori- cal records simply tell us to expect a flood of a given magnitude sometime within a given span of years. The longer the discharge records are collected, the more accurate the prediction of flood intensity is likely to be. In the long term, a 25-year flood is predicted to happen once every year 25 years, but two or three 25- year floods could occur in any given year, as could could two 100-year floods or even two 500-year floods! The September '99 floods of many North Carolina rivers were clearly on the order of 500-year floods, and many residents of the region may have been lulled into a false sense of security regarding the probability of recurrence of another flood of this size. Using statistical probability, when we average over long periods of time, we should only experience one storm of this magnitude every 500 years. But we should remember that this flood recurrence prediction is based upon less than 100 years of records of flooding for this region, and that another flood of the same magnitude could occur next year, or even later this year! Floods, even as large as the "1999 Flood of the Cen- tury" in eastern North Carolina, are a natural, expect- able and predictable phenomenon. We should view the flood plains of our rivers as part of the river's domain, useful to the river during flood times, and certain to be claimed by the river from time to time. According to Physical Geology, by Judson, Kauffman and Leet, if we use the flood plain, we must remember that it is only a loan to us. Whatever use we make of it ought to be as compatible as possible with the use to which the river is sure to put it. Experi- ence should teach us not only that streams will top their banks from time to time but also that the most energetic flood-control plans (including the use of dams, levees, dredging and modification of channels) sometimes fail. "The problem is partly an economic one: Against what magnitude flood shall we try to protect the flood plain? The 10-year flood? the 100-year flood? The 500- year flood? Obviously the larger the flood we attempt to defend against, the greater the expense. At what point does the expense of protection outweigh the gain achieved? This clearly is a question of public policy Many geologists believe that an alternate to protec- tion of the flood plain by engineering works is to put the flood plain to a use more compatible with flood- ing, such as recreation (i.e. parks) or some forms of agriculture. The "1999 Flood of the Century" was clearly an unusual flood event, and it will probably be classified as a 500-year flood. The next 500-year flood could eas- ily occur during our lifetimes, so we need to continue the process of planning and preparation now.

State� Pending the deci- sion of a peer review committee, sanctions may be imposed on The Nubian Message, North Carolina State University's African-American newspaper, which has been in op- eration since 1992. According to T. Greg Doucette, chair of the Student Media Author- ity, The Nubian Message has been accused of plagiarizing articles from a number of sources, including Raleigh's News and Observer, ency- clopedias, Internet sites and books ibout African-American leaders. Doucette said that approxi- mately four weeks ago, he received hree complaints about some of the naterial in The Nubian Message say- ng that "stories were plagiarized 'erbatim "If an accusation like this arises, am required by the Student Media authority statutes to create a peer eview board Doucette said. The board is investigating those laims and plans to return a verdict in about two weeks. "I have faith that the commit- tee is interested in helping Nubian, not in working against it said Doc Winston, editor-in-chief of The Nubian Message. "But it does bother me that someone would bring these complaints to the SMA. "If it was out of concern, that's one thing. But if it was out of po- litical motivation, someone who doesn't think an African-American newspaper belongs on this campus, that disturbs me Last year a Nubian Message staff writer was accused and found guilty of plagiarizing an article straight out of the News and Observer, which threatened lawsuits soon after. That staff member, Trey Webster, still serves as the paper's business man- ager despite the events of last year. "Some allegations say they've been plagiarizing ever since Doucette said, adding that it could possibly be even three or four ar- ticles per issue throughout this year. Though the peer review committee has not confirmed all reports, Doucette added that he suspects that at least one allegation is true. "I really don't know yet Doucette said. "I told the board that 1 would stay out of the investigation as much as possible to avoid any conflict of interest If the claims are found to be true, Doucette said the question of whom is responsible will remain. If an individual is held account- able, he or she may face penalties from the student judiciary similar to a student who has plagiarized an essay for class. If the entire maga- zine is held accountable, Doucette said he is "not sure what kind of restrictions would be placed on the magazine Michigan State -About 2,300 students received free Menomune vaccinations after a freshman was hospitalized over the weekend with Meningococcal menengitis. MSU started giving the vaccina- tion, which Is 80-90 percent effec- tive in protecting against four of the five Meningococcal meningitis strains, to students Monday. People who were vaccinated in March 1997, in response to menin- gitis cases among MSU students, can be vaccinated again even though the three-year recommended wait- ing period is pot up. "I'd rather take an hour to be in line for a vaccination than who knows how long being sick said Ronnie Frelix, a marketing junior who waited in line for the vaccine. Meningitis is an infection that inflames the lining surrounding the brain and spinal cord. There are two types of meningitis: bacterial and viral. Bacterial can result in death and must be treated with antibiot- ics. The MSU student is infected with Meningococcal meningitis, which is a form of bacterial menin- gitis. It can invade the blood stream and cause the body's major systems to go into shock. The vaccination's side effects include redness and soreness around the point of injection, which may last one to two days, and rarely a slight fever. In 1997, MSU offered vaccina- tions when two students died from Meningococcal meningococcemia during the 1996-1997 school year. In 1997, one student sought treat- ment at Sparrow for a meningococ- cal infection and was released. Two students later came down with the less serious viral meningitis. Geralyn Lasher, Michigan De- partment of Community Health spokeswoman, said it is important for university and health officials to assess the situation as it unfolds, and that the university will take the cor- rect steps with the vaccinations. "The school's been very aggres- sive in their approach to this to make sure no more students are infected Lasher said.

The channel and primary floodplain should not be violated under any conditions. The secondary floodplain is used much less frequently by rivers and may consist of obvious wetland veg- etation; however, when a river needs this floodplain it will reoc- cupy it. We can share the latter floodplain, but it must be done on the river's terms, or there will be a catastrophe. Should drainage systems be re- engineered by specific user groups and jeopardize the natural function of the system? Should the heart of a modern city (sewage lines, sewage and water treatment plants and power substations), as well as low- cost housing and industrial facili- ties, be built within these second- ary floodplains? Rivers operate within a natural Set of rules. Communities, inti- mately tied to and dependent upon river systems, must understand, ac- WILT from page 2 GHOSTS from page 1 cept and respect these rules. Since we are locked into an ever expand- ing growth mode, it is more impor- tant than ever for society to under- stand how the most basic resource (water) on our finite planet works. Have we created our own crisis in eastern North Carolina through the systematic modification of our watersheds during the last several decades? Yes, and it can and will happen again unless we change our approach, but not in 500 years. Rather, like rolling dice, the 500- year flood could be rolled again this fall, next year or anytime in the near future! Thus, rebuilding must be based upon our scientific under- standing of river systems and the knowledge utilized in planning all future growth and development. We must begin to restore the natural drainage systems, move our infrastructure out of the floodplains and prevent further political and economic migration into these mar- ginal lands.

Chamberlain starred in the NBA from 1959 through 1973, when he played for the Philadel- phia (later the San FiairUsco) War- riors, 76ers and.lpakers. He scored3T,4i9 pfcirits during his career, a record until Kareem Abdul-Jabbar broke it in 1984. Chamberlain, who never fouled out in 1,205 regular-season and playoff games, holds the record for career rebounding with 23,924. Chamberlain, who began his professional career with the Harlem Globetrotters in 1958, was one of only two men to win the MVP and Rookie of the Year Awards in the same season (1959- 60). He was also MVP in 1966 through 1968. He led the NBA in scoring seven straight seasons, 1960-66, and led the league in re- bounding 11 of his 14 seasons. He was such a force that the NBA changed some of its rules, in- cluding widening the lane to try to keep him, and his weird finger- roll shot with his back to the bas- ket, farther away from the goal. His most famous record is the 100 points he scored in the Phila- delphia Warriors' 169-147 defeat of the New York Knlcks on March 2, 1962, in Hershey, Pa. He remained active after his NBA career and was considered an outstanding volleyball player. He also ran in the Honolulu, marathon in recent years. In January 1998, Chamberlain made his first official visit to Kan- sas since his college career ended 40 years earlier. His jersey was raised to the rafters of Allen Fieldhouse. Chamberlain is survived by sis- ters Barbara Lewis, Margaret Lane, Selina Gross and Yvonne Cham- berlain, and brothers Wilbert and Oliver Chamberlain. Funeral services are pending. Poltergeists are reportedly asso- ciated with apports, or objects that suddenly appear, as if from another dimension. These are either unusu- ally hot or unusually cold, denot- ing an electrical change. Jordan also explain that haunted places are thought to become haunted when a person dies there. Either the person cannot let go of life or they have suffered a tragic death. These hauntings are a result of a lack of closure. "Death may leave behind an emotional sediment in certain places, an imprint, that a living agent can experience as a kind of holographic memory Jordan said. Jordan stated that apparitions are "your garden-variety ghosts Some are dying family members, while some have been in a certain place for awhile. "In nearly all cases of reported apparitions, I find it curious that we do not have a single case in which the ghost was naked he said. �Where do all these clothes come from? Unless there Is a Kmart In heaven, they must be a reflection of memory, there Is simply no other possibility. Either this memory Is lifted psychically from the environ- ment itself or It is being telepathl- cally communicated from a discarnate spirit Jordan first became interested if) the paranormal when he was young. As a child, he was interested in magic, especially Harry Houdini who also studied paranormal phe- nomena. He had no previous expe- rience with the phenomena, but harbors an innate curiosity. Since there are no schools where one can major in psychic phenom- ena, Jordan has a bachelors degree in philosophy and a masters' in psy� chology. He learned his trade' through field work and investiga- tion. This writer can be contacted at cherold@studentmedia.ecu.edu.

While we realize that not everyone can pitch a tent and stay up for several hours, it was ridiculous to hear about students who brought bver 20 student IDs in 'order to get tickets for their friends. OURVIEW � � � . � OPINION COLUMN Students should learn some manners Patrick McMahon OPINION WRITER ; First off, I am going to warn you that this opinion is based upon first hand observations and represents nq one else's opinion but my own. ; On Tuesday, TEC ran a letter to the editor from a student who ar- rived early Monday morning for their tickets to the State game and complained about the debacle that ensued. Let me take this opportu- nity to get this off my chest because if 1 don't get it out I'm going to scream myself to death. JI was one of the first individuals wBo arrived for tickets Sunday night. I set up my little camp along- side some friends and hunkered doVvn for the long night ahead. Ev- erything was going great and the crowd was having a blast. A drum circle and guitar player sang classics into the early morning and the friibees and footballs were flying through the air majestically. The mood was upbeat and positive with chants of "PURPLE! GOLD (though not nearly as long as that marathon session during the USM game) permeating the night. Every- thing went great. Until daybreak. About the time that the sun vas just about to rise over the beautiful Greenville landscape all hell broke loose. Now by this time 1 was so doped up on Vivarin that my body was literally shaking and from the lack of rest. Would I get that rest? Nope. About 6:30 a.m. I heard what sounded like a herd of buffalo get- ting closer and closer. I looked up and to my horror saw 200-plus people running to the front of the line. They were led by an individual who looked like Chris Farley after a 500-year flood. Just minutes before was literally hundreds of yards be- hind those of us at the front, and he was leading the group with a mock light sabre. Seeing impending doom, I jumped out of my chair and got my spot in line. The near-riot that en- sued by thesewas just too much to bear. I nearly lost my self- control, folks. To make things worse, I saw people just walk in from the parking lot and step right in front of people who got there at 9 p.m. the night before. Some idiot right in front off me decided that it would be funny if he took a penny and threw it into the crowd. After I saw that, I lost it. I was in complete mental and physical shut down. I just started yelling at this choad for his complete lack of hu- man decency and came within inches of breaking his face. I con- trolled my urges but others evi- dently didn't have the self control that I somehow managed to display. To make matters worse, the crowd decided to chant a line that sounded something like "bullspit" to whom- ever got their tickets before them. That showed a lot of class. It is sad that what started out as a wonder- ful evening of school spirit and pride turned into such a mess. If this is the way people are go- ing to act at the game, then I'll just watch the game on TV and sell my ticket on E-bay. This writer can be contacted at pcmcmahon@studentmedia.ecu.edu ECU will play State on Nov. 20, and we at TEC are looking forward to sending the Wolfpack home, whimpering with their tail between their legs. But the spirit of the game is tarnished when the distribution of football' tickets turns into a circus, as it did this past Monday. This is a time of school pride, not every man for himself. It was exciting to hear about those students who decided to camp out in order to get those first tickets on Monday morning. Enough tents were pitched to make Duke blush. But once distribution of tickets began, so did utter chaos. While most students remained patient and well-behaved, others seemed to forget the rules we all learned in kindergarten�the ones that taught us to wait our turn. While we realize that not everyone can pitch a tent and stay up for several hours, it was ridiculous to hear about students who brought over 20 student IDs in order to get tickets for their friends. We think that if an ECU student wants the tar tickets to the biggest game this season since the Miami game, he or ��� should pitch a tent in front of Minges Coli- seum at 7 p.m. Sunday like everyone else. The ticket line on Monday was further disrupted when it was decided to move the new Pirate statue through the line. It's hard to believe there was no other time the Athletic Department could have chosen to move it. Students were forced to destroy the line order they had been waiting in for hours. Everyone then had to make a mad dash to regain their spot. We just hope that our school was not permanently embarrassed when television news crews arrived to showcase our ticket-starved Pirates. We hope that the next time a big-game ticket distribution takes place, the process will be better organized and students will behave like they are in college. yitE?� WHEJHER CW THE COVRt, OR IN TH E BEDROOM HE SCORED MORE I - THANflNYONE to �5.1 fBt SB v n OPINION COLUMN Community service helps students, forms alliances Na'im Akbar OPINION WRITER Do college students have a re- sponsibility to serve the community in which they attend school? This is a question that requires each stu- dent to do some soul-searching be- fore coming up with an answer that will make him or her comfortable and will satisfy his or her con- science. Serving the community, along with forming community alliances can play an important part in the growth and development of college students. Students can develop and improve their own skills, as well as have a positive effect on the qual- ity of life of the community with whom they choose to form this al- liance. College students can pro- mote a voice and vision to the struggle of people in the commu- nity. College students should feel a sense of dedication and commit- ment to communities near their colleges and the community in which they reside. We need to make available the knowledge which has been gained to help eradicate some of the pressing problems in our communities. These problems in- clude, but are not limited to: sub- stance abuse, violent behavior, HIV AIDS, parenting, self-esteem, fam- ily preservation, counseling, inmate intervention, sensitivity, training and cultural diversity. " The need for forming Commu- nity alliances has been established by witnessing the problems in our own communities. This should de- velop, in us, a need for cultivating a desire to make a positive differ- ence in the lives of community resi- dents. Students can make a difference by sharing in the philosophy that suggests that "the ruin of a nation begins in the homes of its people and in the quality of a society can be measured by the quality of its individuals We have to realize that our edu- cation obligates us to form alliances with communities for the purpose of uplifting and preserving sacred life connections that are steadily being stamped out in our troubled communities. It is important that college stu- dents form community alliances that will serve as a voice calling ou for total restoration of depress communities. Moral consciousne must be the platform which we gc about our community work. Th economic, political and social cli-j mate in out community is in dire proportion to the moral climate of the population. Students should understand tha( when we contribute to the healthy and positive uplifting of those wit whom we form alliances, we are" helping to remake the world. We have to develop a mission ofj providing education and training in Sjj proper human development that" will restore and enhance the qual- ity of life for communities. We caiy� use our education and knowledge�v in the areas of psychology, sociol-i ogy, family counseling and educaJt tion, child development and our�i� practical experience in service de-C livery to families and children.

OPINION COLUMN Government should not be involved in funding arts OPINION COLUMN Spirited school support needs no criticism ; Chris Sachs OPINION WRITER .During the past few weeks, I haVe heard more about ECU foot- baU than I have for the past three years. With all the hoopla over our great record, our goalpost fiasco at N.C. State, the loss to some team in Mississippi and the ticket frenzy at Minges, I have never enjoyed ECU football more than now. This is what football is all about people. ;We are young, energetic college students and we support our team by drinking, screaming and break- ing things. That is what profes- sional football supporters do and that is just the way it is. Football is one of those games that excites like no Other game in the US. It is natu- ral (or us to express our joy or an- ger when we win or lose. But people want to stifle and restrain the feel- ings that are so ingrained in us hu- mans. These tight-lipped middle-aged burnouts that come to our games want us to golf clap and blow kisses at the team when they make a good play when we should be jumping up and down, throwing drinks and pizza boxes, tossing our best friend down the stairs. This lets the team know we support them. Why do you think the paramedics are really there in the first place? For the re- pair of our fans, not the team. So many people have criticized us about our behavior and I am re- ally tired of these whiners. Where do they get their holier-than-thou attitudes? I would bet the majority of people that are complaining were, back in their day, drunken hooligans just like us. Hey, we have been acting this way for as long as football has been around and it's not gonna change. So if you can't beat 'em, join 'em. Take your RV and ram the other team's travel bus. Knit sweaters that say the other team sucks. Write let- ters full of epithets to the others players' parents. Help us out. This could be the best year in our school's history. But the things that we have done are really not that bad. Com- pared to UNC-Chapel Hill, we are tame as kittens. They set furniture on fire on Franklin Street and the bars look like a bomb was set off. But that is how it should be. Have you ever seen fans at a soccer match go berserk in Europe? That's fan support; we need to look up to them and learn from the best. They know how to support their teams. So when we Anally do play N.C. State in about a month�and when we beat them like a cop at Woodstock '99�we should rush the field. I call for the fraternities to tear down the goalposts and put them in your backyards. Let's tear down the upper deck, too. And when we are done, let's all drive to Raleigh and tear down goalposts again, just for the fun of it. Now that's team support.

Hobbs OPINION WRITER In case you have not heard, the Brooklyn Museum of Art in New York is featuring a work in which elephant feces and private female body parts cut from porn maga- zines are scattered about a painting of the Holy Virgin Mary. Some people have no problem at all with the painting, but others, especially religious groups, are offended by it. New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani has threat- ened to take state funding away from the museum for displaying such an offensive piece. The issue has even made it to Washington, where congressmen are pro- posing to end federal funding of the museum, as well. All of this controversy leads to a bigger question� should government be funding the arts at all? Do we really want the government telling us what art is? The answer to both is no. By funding certain arts organizations, the govern- ment is taking my money and defining what is (and isn't) art. That is wrong. Just as the government has no right to tell me which religion, if any, I should prac- tice, which car I should drive or which restaurant I should patronize. Likewise, the government has no right to tell me which museum has the best art. Offensiveness alone, however, should not be the rea- son for ending arts funding. After all, it is no secret the direction that art has taken this past century. Darkness, anger and cynicism with an obsession for death and sex seem to dominate art these days. Many artists seem to shock only for the sake of shocking, but that's not a news flash. Art has been of- fending people for years. I actually disagree with those who wish only to end government funding for one- specific museum based on offensiveness of the art It- self. It is the government's involvement with the arts altogether that bugs me. Many people would probably cite the first amend- ment in this case, but this is not a first amendment debate. Art institutions have the right to display what- ever they wish, and artists have the right to stroke up whatever they wish. After all, someone is always going to be offended. My problem is that the government is paying for it. The notion that somehow art institutions will be hurt without government help is nonsense. Government was designed to help in ways which the people cannot do by themselves. The arts would do just fine with pri- vate funding alone�just like countless other organi- zations. So, for the sake of both art and the people, congress should withdraw their leash on the arts and set it free to be enjoyed or hated�but without government in- terference.

The Greenville and campus commu- nity came together and provided much-needed help for those trau- matized by the hurricane. The ef- fects of Floyd in many cases did not just affect the students, but their families as well. Needless to say, these past couple of weeks have been quite a strain on everyone. Even those who were not hit hard�or at all for that matter�most of them knew people who had damage and got a contact stress. The Student Union has been try- ing to put on a relief concert since the tragedy. On behalf of the Stu- dent Union, I am pledging to give something to the students to relax and have a good time.

You need that burst of energy to make it through on more class. You just need choco- late. According to research,women are more susceptible than men to the sweet treat. "Women are 76 percent more likely to be addicted to chocolate than men, although guys still need the occasional dose of cocoa said Laura Hartung, nutri- tionist. There is a long history behind the love affair be- tween chocolate and our sweet tooth.Chocolate was first brought to Europe by the Spaniards and was intro- duced into England in 1657. The Swiss invented a pro- cess called conching, which transforms cocoa beans, Students obsessed with soaps TV dramas lure watchers Nina M. Dry ASSISTANT FEATURES EDITOR For most college students, life is built around deadlines, work sched- ules and everyday issues. However, when the real world becomes too stressful, some find their release in the never ending sagas of their fa- vorite soap operas. Some students can turn the stress releasing habit of watching soap operas into an addiction. Ac- :ording to Bob Morphet, counselor it the Center for Counseling and Student Development, getting "hooked" to a soap is a maladaptive pattern of behavior, which could have negative effects. "If watching the soap interferes with normal, daily functioning, it's i problem Morphet said. How do people get involved with these TV dramas in the first place? For most, it begins with parents who watched the shows as their children were growing up. "I used to sit and watch it with my mom said junior Brooke Allen. "At the time, I wanted to do what she did "When I was young, my mom would watch soap operas and I would watch them with her said senior Scott Wilkins. Others may catch an episode that peaks their interest. "Over the summer, a particular episode (of "All My Children" caught my attention and I became more interested said sophomore Stacey Pinney. While most frequently watched shows are reruns during the sum- mer, soaps seem to grow in popu- larity. "Watching the same thing over and over gets old said senior Tricia Bell. "At least with soaps, there's al- ways something new going on After that one particular episode grabs you, the need to see what hap- pens next takes over. "I realize people ridicule and criticize soaps but, like any other show, if you keep watching, it lures you in Pinney said. According to Wilkins, who has been watching "The Young and the Restless" and "The Bold and the Beautiful" for the past five years, the actresses on these shows are enough incentive to watch. "There are a lot of fine looking women on their shows Wilkins said. According to Morphet, there are many reasons why people get in- volved with watching soaps. "It's pure escapism Morphet said. "You can forget about argu- ments you had with your girlfriend or boyfriend, get way from home- work, etc. Also the plot lines become familiar and you become involved vicariously with what's going on Morphet also said the plot lines are set up to leave viewers hanging from one show to the next, making you want to tune in again to see what happens. Although many students watch these shows when they fit conviently into their schedule, some make their schedules fit these shows at all costs. One student, who wishes to remain anonymous, con- siders himself to be a recovering soap opera addict. He began watch- ing "Days of Our Lives" his fresh- man year in college and watched it loyally for two years. "My roommate would watch "Days" everyday my freshman year one student said. "I would ask him questions about the story line and after two days of my failed at- tempts to take a nap, I was hooked According to student, he, his roommate and his roommate's girl- friend would watch the show every afternoon and make arrangements if they couldn't. "We would tape the show if our classes conflicted with us watching 'Days the student said. Although many can get into the trials and tribulations that plague the characters on these shows, there are some who can not see what the hype is all about. "I don't see why people like soaps so much Allen said. "I just view soap operas to be a big gossip fest. "Sure shows like ER and Third Watch have similar goings on, but the characters have scruples that we can identify with more readily Although many characterize daytime TV and prime time dramas as soap operas, there is another prime time show that has grown in popularity over the years: profes- sional wrestling. "Wrestling is the male soap op- era said senior G.W. Barker. "The only difference is there's less sex than daytime soaps�no wait a minute there's more sex According to Dave Honeycutt, a senior, professional wrestling has become more of a soap opera since See SOAPS page I and other tasty ingredients into the smooth, creaftty form everone loves. In the 17th century, the Catholic Church believed that chocolate was the drink of sor- cerers. Chocolate was first manufactured in the US in 17,65 in Massachusetts. Today, the average American con- sumes over five pounds of chocolate every year. Chocolate is an true aphrodisiac. Chocolate is made from the cocoa beans of the cocoa tree, theobroma, and contains phenylthylamine�the chemical manu factured by our brain when we fall in love. So in a sense we are literally falling in love with chocolate. Chocolate was considered an aphrodisiac as loh) ago as the age of the Aztecs. The Aztec king Montezum; reportedly drank 50 goblets of chocolate or cocoa pe day for its aphrodisiacal qualities. Chocolate is also said by many to have negativ affects as well, but most of these are myths. Chocolat does not cause acne or tooth decay, and it doesn't rais' blood cholesterol levels. The chemicals that are ii chocolate create a craving that has to be satisfied b; See Cocoa, page 8 Cycle into good health Cyclemania promotes better physical fitness Karen Matthew STAFF WRITER Cyclemania is an incentive program for indoor stu- dio cycling at the Student Recreation Center. The goal of the program is to promote student and staff partici- pation in a Revolutions Per Minute (RPM) studio cy- cling class. Two promotional sessions are being held this fall. They wijl be Sept. 13-Oct. 22 and Nov. 1-Dec. 8. Not only are these sessions free, but students and staff can earn five fitness bucks if they attend 10 RPM classes during each five week period. Students cycle for fitness and fun at the SRC. (Photo by Bobby Russell) The fitness bucks can be redeemed for an RPM t shirt or be applied toward any SRC fitness program such as an an aerobics class or an outdoor adventun trip. "We want to make being involved in RPM as eas as possible because it's a fabulous way to get in shape said Sam Combs, SRC employee. According to Combs, RPM studio cycling burns th( most calories per minute of any activity offered at th( SRC. It is ideal for strengthening the lower body anc increasing muscle definition. RPM can also accommodate people of all fitness lev els. The 10 cycles used can be set to different speed? and tensions, allowing the participant to control the intensity of the workout. The RPM studio cycling class is held at different times throughout the week to give more people the opportunity to try out the program. The class is of- fered regularly Monday through Thursday, and occa- sionally on Friday.

Dry ASSISTANT FEATURES EDITOR Upon entering FiredWorks Cafe, a sense of tranquil- ity is present. People wander to and from their stations, carefully drying their unfinished pieces. Bright colors and designs displayed on the walls reflect the cheery moods the customers exhibit as they chatter animat- edly with one another, proudly presenting their unfin- ished pieces. "It's so therapeutic said Debbie O'Neal, owner. FiredWorks Cafe, soon to be celebrating its one year anniversary, is Greenville's contemporary paint-your- own pottery studio. "We picked the name FiredWorks because every- thing we do is fired works O'Neal said. "Everything is fired on the kiln on the premises "We set it up with a cafe atmosphere serving fresh coffees and teas According to O'Neal, the trend of paint-your-own pottery studios began about five years ago in New York Patrons at FiredWorks enjoy painting their own unique ceramic creations.

O'Neal's studio sells an assortment of functional pieces such as candle holders, mugs and picture frames just waiting for a customer to design it to his or her taste. So, how do you go about creating your own per- sonalized piece? Once the item has been chosen, there are no limits to the designs one can create. There are idea books ot- tering suggestions about different patterns and tech- niques, a variety of stencil books and pictures of pieces created by previous customers that one can take inspi- ration from. Along with the books and pictures, there are assis- tants that can help you get your creative juices flow- ing. "I will help customers who have questions or who have never been to FiredWorks before said employee and art major, Julie Brooks. "I work with people on an individual basis said employee and interior design major, Courtney Snyder. "I'll help them come up with designs, choose colors and come up with ideas. It's so much fun Once the piece has been painted, FiredWorks will glaze the piece, fire it and have it ready for pickup three days later.

He began his journalism career the day after graduj. ating high school and was recruited by the sports edi- tor for the Dairy Reflector, Since then, he has attended ECU and UNC-CH in pursuit of higher education Lang graduated in 1984 from ECU with a master) degree in English, with a concentration in technical writing. In addition to his scholastic pursuits, Lang has worked in journalism for 48 years. He wrote for the Associated Press, which allowed him to travel, and has lived in New York, Oklahoma and Florida. Raleigh, NC is the city he has enjoyed living ir) the most. According to Lang, Miami was "a terrify place for news operations, but it was consistently hot.? He now lives in Ayden with his wife, Edith, and they have a son and daughter as well as six grandchildren In between stints of working as a journalist, Lang decided to pursue farming. After agreeing they did not want to move around anymore due to his hectic sched- ule, he and his family began growing tobacco, corn and wheat. They resided in both Pitt and Craven Counties for five years. Lang said it was an interesting and enjoyable time in his life, though not very lucra. tive, and decided the time was right to return to i more profitable job after the second year. Lang spends the majority of his time between the Daily Reflector and teaching communication classes at ECU such as Media Writing and Basic Reporting.

The Pirates currently compete in the CAA in 13 varsity sports. The Pirates softball team competes in the Big South Conference and the ECU track and cross country teams compete in the ECAC and IC4A conferences. In the 2001-2002 academic year, all sports will join ECU football in C-USA. C-USA will grow to 14 member schools by 2003. The additions of Texas Christian, South Florida and ECU were announced Monday after the league meetings in New York. Only 11 of the schools will compete in football. The league will be forced to split into two divisions. The specifics of the split have not been announced. The team that will be affected most by the change will be basketball. In previous seasons the program has been hurt by low attendance. ECU is banking on the hope that the prospect of teams like Cincinnati, Louisville and UNC-Charlotte visiting Williams Arena in the coming years will energize the public and help boost ticket sales. "This is a challenge to our fans said Athletic Director Mike Hamrick. "If you can't get excited about this, then you can't get excited Another advantage to playing in C- USA is the availability of post-sea- son berths. "C-USA is a lot different from the CAA said Head Women's Basketball Coach, Dee Gibson. "In the CAA, you have to win the con- ference tournament to get in the NCAA tournament. There's no doubt, you must. Unless we go out and beat four or five top 25 teams, it's almost impossible to get an at-large bid. American University understood that two years ago, when they went 23-8 and didn't get in to the NCAAs Both ECU and South Florida already had ties to C-USA. South Florida had been a member in basketball and many other sports and ECU joined as a football-only member in 1997. "I think that the board felt we need- ed to look inside the family before looking outside said Mike Slive, C- USA commissioner. "South Florida has been a valuable member of this league in other sports than football and ECU has been a valuable mem- ber in football and has made some commitments we thought were appropriate in trying to begin to move up in basketball 1 13 Confusion surrounds State game tickets Athletic Department gives reasons for higher prices Women's soccer team records three shutouts Lady Pirates move to S-2 in best-ever conference start Tiffany Waters STAFF WRITER Tiffany Waters STAFF WRITER Questions have been raised this week byECU staff and students as to why ticket sales for the ECU-NCSU game are more expensive than other games. Guest tickets and general public tickets were raised from the usual $20 to $30. "It is not uncommon for ticket prices to go up for a bigger game said Norm Reilly, media relations direc- tor. � Reilly said that it was more of a supply- and-demand issue. Students normally purchase one ticket at a dis- counted price and fffiSPif rt'i- any otherguest Y JffaPJ tickets at the regular Vi" ticket price, but for the ECU-NCSU " game, that is not the case. According to Reilly, students were allotted one guest each in order to allow for more student demand. This is to make it easier for more students to attend the game. Another change in ticket distribution was the allot- ment of 5,000 tickets to NCSU instead of approximately 500 that are usually given to visiting schools. NCSU first distributed their tickets to the Wolfpack Club, NCSU's alumni organization. Students and the general public were then allowed to purchase their tick- ets. Tickets were also sold three weeks in advance instead of the Tuesday before the game, as is done with all other football events. "It is usually standard practice for a game of such high interest for the tickets to go on sale early Reilly said. This allows the ticket office to know if they can dis- tribute more tickets to the general public after tickets have been sold to the student and faculty population. Reilly dispelled the rumor that the placement of stu- dent seating had been changed. Due to high student de- mand, the student section has been expanded into parts of the stadium where students are not accustomed to seating. This writer can be contacted at twateri@studentmedia.ecu.edu The women's soccer team has proven to be golden in their past three games with three conference shutout wins against University of Richmond (previously ranked 21 nationally), Virginia Common- wealth University and rival University of North Carolina at Wilmington. "We played a really solid game said Head Coach Rob Donnenwirth. The performance on both teams proved to be strong throughout the whole game, but the Pirates proved to be a little stronger towards the end. "Coming off of the George Mason loss and coming back in a game with the fire we had against Richmond and to beat them felt really good said Amy Horton, senior goalkeeper. Richmond outshot the Pirates 14-12 in a losing effort. With less than two minutes to go, junior forward Kim Sandhoff found the goal off an assist from junior midfielder Erin Cann. This was Sandhoff's first goal of the season. Horton recorded her second com- plete game shutout with two saves. Richmond's Kristen Samuhel took the loss, allowing one goal while saving eight. "This was a huge game for us Donnenwirth said. "The whole nation has been talking about our win because of their national ranking Sandhoff struck against VCU again with a pair of goals to lead the Pirates to a 2-0 shutout victory. Even with the strong performance from Sandhoff, the whole team came out very flat in the first half "primarily due to fatigue Horton said. In the sec- ond half, the Pirates picked it up and showed the Rams they meant business. A pass by sophomore forward Amanda Duffy to senior forward Jennifer Reilly earned them both an assist for Sandhoff s first goal of the evening in the 56th minute. Sandhoff scored again in the 67th off a Cann assist making it her third goal in the last two games to clinch the ECU victory. The Pirates outshot the Rams 19-S with five corner kicks to VCU's one. Horton picked up her third complete game shutout of the year, with no allowed goals and one save. This was Horton's sec- ond consecutive complete game shutout. In a losing effort VCU's Lindy Brown earned 10 saves and allowed two goals. The Lady Pirates gave rivals UNC-W a taste of pirate pride with the 4-0 beating Tuesday. "It was so nice to beat them the way we See SOCCER, page 10 it a 5 i � I �� i Spears more than just an athlete Tennis captain excels on the court Ryan Downey STAFF WRITER Meredith Spears, captain of the women's tennis team, is a student athlete in the truest sense of the word. She was recently voted captain by her teammates because of her leadership skills and com- passion for her fellow players. "When someone on the team needs something important they call me, I also lead during stretching exercises and things like that Spears said. Other responsibilities of the captain are to keep things organized during the morning weight training sessions. She also helps the team make plans for road trips, and she successfully pushed for the team to have their own lockers. "She listens to what we have to say and brings the team together on decisions Junior Meredith Spears practices her forehand (file photo). said An- d r e a Terrill, team- mate. Spears has been interested in com- ing to ECU since childhood, and is now a second year stu- dent classified as a junior because of pre- vious credits. This interest was started by her her father and other family mem- bers who are ECU graduates. She is a double major in political sci- ence and English, has a 3.4 GPA and is planning to go to law school. Once she is done with school she plans to open a practice involved with professional sports teams. An all around athlete, she has played tennis since the age of ten, thanks to the encouragement of her father. "I didn't really get serious about it until I was 13, then I started playing it all the time Spears said. "When I was young my dad wanted me to play everything. I played lots of sports tee-ball, softball, soccer and basketball After an injury during a soccer match she decided to focus on ten- nis on because her mother thought it would be safer. "We decided tennis was some- thing I could do for the rest of my s life and enjoy Spears said. "My ten- nis coach when I was younger always en- couraged me and told me that I could be a college player Spears has a packed schedule, which in- cludes school work, many hours with coaches in individual training, as well as time in the weight room and the normal three hour practice with the rest of the team. "You can't work as hard as Meredith and not get better. She leads the other girb to work hard; she will have a great career here. She has been the kind of person that coaches want in a program. I can't say enough about Meredith Spears said Tom Morris.

After the decision was announced by UEFA presi- dent Lennart Johansson, members of the Portuguese s delegation�including soccer great Eusebio� jumped to their feet in the conference hall of an Aachen hotel Jand cheered wildly. "Portugal is a small country but we love football �said a beaming Eusebio as Portuguese delegation offi- cials popped open bottles of champagne. I It will be the first time the quadrennial champion- ships are held in Portugal and the biggest sports event ever in the country. The 2000 tournament will be staged in Belgium and iThe Netherlands. i"This is the happiest day in my life said Portu- guese soccer federation president Gilberto Madail. "We tdid everything possible to prove that Portugal was ca- 'pable and worthy of staging the European Champion- ship L Under the Portuguese bid plans, championship (matches will be held in eight cities: Lisbon, Porto, (Aveiro, Braga, Coimbra, FaroLouie, Guimaraes and JLeiria. Lisbon and Porto will provide two stadiums each. ' Five stadiums need extensive renovation and five Pnew ones will be built, according to the Portuguese bid. j Spain's bid was based on its sophisticated soccer stadiums, while Austria and Hungary tried to capital- j Ize on the political significance of staging the champi- onship on the former Cold War divide. The three bidders made final presentations Tues- day morning to UEFA's Committee for European Cham- pionship, which gave its backing to Portugal. UEFA's Executive Committee then endorsed the decision. Egidius Braun, the German chairman of the cham- pionship committee and a UEFA vice president, said Portugal received "a strong majority" in a secret vote by the 16-member panel. He declined to give the break- down of the ballots. Members of the committee coming from the three bidders were not allowed to vote, including Spanish soccer federation president Angel Maria Villar. "This is a complete surprise he said. "The Portu- guese) don't have the better facilities but there were other reasons they won It and one of the reasons is precisely that they don't have the resources Braun also said the championships would be an opportunity for Portugal to develop its facilities. "Portugal has good football, but stadiums need full renovation said Madail, the Portuguese federation chief. "This is a great opportunity to definitely change our football for better The biggest soccer event Portugal ever hosted was the youth World Cup in 1991. "It's a great opportunity for Portugal to reform its sports infrastructures; an opportunity for social con- tact, for culture and tourism President Jorge Sampaio told reporters in Lisbon. Prime Minister Antonio Guterres said he felt "par- ticularly satisfied because hosting the competition would boost Portuguese sports and portray Portugal as a "modern and developed country, capable of com- peting at international levels O'Meara: In bad season, even Ryder win feels like loss iSOCCER : from page 9 � did Horton said. The Pirate's came out strong and never let up, putshooting the Seahawks 13-6. i- "To beat them so decisively like j that felt good, "Horton said. "Every- J thing just clicked with our team ECU started off with a goal from J Reilly off of an assist from Sandhoff. j "Kim had another great game j Donnenwirth said. Sandhoff added an unassisted goal in the 44th minute to give the J Pirates a 2-0 lead, but the Pirate's � weren't finished yet. In the 81st J minute, Reilly added her second � goal of the day with an assist from J-Duffy. Duffy also got her own per- sonal taste of victory with a last- minute goal off an assist from jun- ior forward Charity McClure. "Our backs did a great job Donnenwirth said. This win puts the Lady Pirates at 8-2 overall and 5-2 in the Colo- nial Athletic Association. The five- conference win is the highest an ECU team has gone along with the last seven out of eight wins posted by the team. "It feels really great to be the first to reach 5-0 in the conference each year we've gotten better Horton said. "To know how we started my freshman year and to see the building that we have done, it feels great that other teams are start- ing to recognize us and know were there Horton recorded her fourth complete game shutout with two saves and no allowed goals. Meghan Fitzsimmons and Carla Linebarger combined with seven saves and four goals allowed. "The difference for us today was the play of our defenders, despite the fact that we scored four goals Donnenwirth said. The Pirates will continue on their seven-game road trip when they travel to DeLand, Fla. to take on Stetson University Sunday, at 1 p.m. VIRGINIA WATER, England (AP) It's been that kind of year for Mark O'Meara. Even the Ryder Cup victory feels like a loss for the American as he prepares to defend the World Match Play title. Last year, O'Meara capped an amazing season highlighted by victories in the U.S. Masters and British Open with a 1-up deci- sion over friend Tiger Woods in the 36-hole final. "It was one of the most ex- citing, most unique, most fun quality golf matches that I have ever been associated with O'Meara said. "This year has been a differ- ent story added the American, who has struggled all year with his driver. "It has been kind of a battle out there on the course O'Meara, who didn't score a point in the Americans' Ryder Cup victory, said Tuesday that controversy had soured the vic- tory, though he was lauded by the Europeans as one of the good guys. "I didn't feel like I won any- thing at the Ryder Cup. Even though all that great golf was played on both sides of the At- lantic, it just seemed to be so negative "I don't know if Europe had won it would have been that nega- tive or not. But it just seems like the two winning teams that I have been on, everything has been so negative about what happened that it doesn't feel like we won O'Meara also said he might skip the Nov. 4-7 World Golf Champi- onships at Valderrama in southern Spain if his game doesn't improve. O'Meara, South Africa's Ernie Els, Scotland's Colin Montgomerie and Zimbabwe's Nick Price, the top four seeds, have byes in Thursday's opening round on Wentworth's West Course. In the first-matches, it will be Craig Parry, Australia, vs. Paul Lawrie, Scotland (winner faces O'Meara); Sergio Garcia, Spain, vs. Retief Goosen, South Africa (winner faces Price); Carlos Franco, Paraguay, vs. Padraig Harrington, Ireland (winner faces Els); Jose Maria Olazabal, Spain, vs. Notah Begay III, United States (winner faces Montgomerie). Price warned 19-year-old Garcia to improve his driving game. Garcia led Spain to the Dunhill Cup title Sunday at St. Andrews and defeated Price 67-70 in a third-round match on the Old Course. They could meet again on Friday in the quarterfinals. "His (Garcia's) short game right now is about as good as anyone's I have ever seen Price said. "It is something about that Spanish, blood. None of them (Seye Ballesteros, Olazabal and Garcja) drive the ball well, but they ajl�. chip and putt ' "You have to drive the ball well to win major champion ships. You saw at CarnoustieMi (British Open) this year where he (Garcia) had a horiffic first round" (89) so there are certain golf courses where he's going to struggle. "I am not asking him to change his swing, just refine it! Shorten it a bit or whatever if" takes to slow those hands down a bit "If he does make those refinfe ments as Tiger has done them come four, five, six years he is going to be a real powerhouse in the game The least-known name in ttye1 12-man field is Begay. A surprise entry in the tournament, he made organizers look good when he won the Michelob Champi- onship on Sunday "in Williamsburg, Virginia. Begay is the only American '� Indian playing on the U.S. tour. i� Montgomerie, who pulled ij out of the Dunhill last week with a toothache, said he expects to play this week and will have his bad tooth pulled next week. Michael Jordan visits hurricane recovery center. j! irt.aw Mr (APi Hie r�A.�� �.ii i . !I BURGAW, N.C. (AP) His Airness popped in Tuesday at a di- saster recovery center for Hurricane Floyd flood victims, dispensing cases of underwear and hugs. Jordan, who grew up in nearby Wilmington, walked into the Salva- tion Army disaster recovery center about 12:30 p.m. Wide-eyed adults looked on in amazement as Jordan wheeled a shopping cart full of underwear and Gatorade into the former pharmacy building. "Where do these go?" he nonchalantly asked a volunteer standing open-mouthed as- he ar- rived. He spent 15 minutes listen- ing to the victims' stories, said Sal- vation Army spokeswoman Amy Carpenter. "That was a big morale booster for flood victims in the Burgaw area Carpenter said. The region was badly flooded when Floyd drenched eastern North Carolina with up to 20 inches of rain Sept. 16. The storm was blamed for at least 49 deaths and is expected to surpass Hurricane Fran, which caused $6 billion in damage in 1996. Carpenter said several qjf Jordan's cousins have received &ft tance from the Burgaw center ar)B' his aunt volunteered there. Tie cerf-i ter serves Pender and Duplin courp; ties.

U make the call Less than a week ago, the call was simple: Peter Warrick, the Semi- noles' sensational wide receiver, was the clear favorite to win the Heisman Trophy, college football's grandest individual prize. The choice is not so easy any- more. Warrick was suspended in- definitely last week following his arrest for felony theft underpay- ing for designer clothes at a Talla- hassee department store. He missed Florida State's 31-21 win over Mi- ami, and is expected to sit out Saturday's game. And as he waits for his lawyer to sort out his legal mess, Warrick's Heisman chances have all but slipped away. A sampling of several dozen Heisman voters nationwide indicate Warrick has little or no chance to win the award presented by New York's Downtown Athletic Club on Dec. 11. "Peter Warrick Is out of it, in my mind voter Steve Kirk of the Bir- mingham News said. "And not be- cause of the moral issues. He missed a big game and there's only 11 of them. You can't miss a big game Ron Bracken, sports editor of the Centre (Pa.) Daily Times, said he would have a tough time voting for Warrick because, "you want that guy standing up there getting that trophy to be somebody that can be looked up at and admired and a youngster can say, '1 want to be like him Warrick may be the nation's best player whether he misses one, two or more games, but Heisman voter Bruce Hooley of The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer adds, "I also think the Heisman stands for something more than what he stood for at Dillard's (department store) By winning the Heisman, a player is guaranteed lifelong recog- nition by football fans everywhere. Now, Warrick is likely to be remem- bered as the first player to lose it because of his misadventures in a mall. With Warrick on the sideline, the leading Heisman contender looks to be Georgia Tech's Joe Hamilton, the nation's top-rated passer with 1,347 yards and 12 touchdowns. He's also run for 321 yards and six TDs for the eighth- ranked Yellow Jackets, whose only loss came against Warrick and the Seminoles. "Everyone seems to think Warrick being out has automatically given the award to Joe Hamilton Heisman voter Andrew Bagnato of The Chicago Tribune said, "but I don't think that's a given just yet I thought it was an outrage By Heisman rules, Warrick re- mains a candidate, but William J Dockery, president of the award, said the receiver would become in- eligible if convicted of a felony. Should he win the Heisman and then be convicted, the award can be taken away. Fans aren't snatching up playoff tickets in Atlanta ATLANTA (AP)�Chipper Jones can't understand it, the Atlanta Braves again are having a tough time selling tickets to the National League championship series. "This is an exciting team, a blue-collar team, and this-team deserves to have the backing of its fans Jones said. After drawing franchise lows for the divisional series, the Braves were 6,000 tickets short of a sellout for the opening game of the playoff series against the hated New York Mets. More than 9,000 tickets remained for Game 2. "If the fans are taking for granted that we're go- ing to make it to the World Series, the Mets may have something to say about that Jones said. Complaints about Atlanta's postseason apathy are not new. Former Braves outfielder David Justice ripped the fans in 1995 for not making enough noise during the World Series against Cleveland. But it seems to be getting worse. The Braves drew only 39,119 fans to the first game of the division series against Houston, nearly 11,000 short of capacity at Turner Field and the smallest crowd ever in Atlanta's 44-game postseason history. The second game wasn't much better with only 41,913 in the seats. David Teske, a fan from Jonesboro, said the 4 p.m. game times against Houston hurt attendance. It's hard for working fans to attend afternoon games on the weekdays, he said. Other fans see the empty seats as a symptom of the Braves' success. "I think the fans are getting a little complacent said Vicki Reidy of Newnan, who bought tickets for tonight's game on her lunch break Monday. "They're used to winning, and they like to wait until the end before they show up The lukewarm support in the playoffs follows what may have been one of the Braves' most excit- ing seasons. With Andres Galarraga recovering from cancer and Javy Lopez still out with a knee injury, the Braves managed to fight off the hard-charging Mets in the final week of the season. They won more than 100 games for the third straight year. "I guess I was a little spoiled playing in St. Louis the last few years said Braves right fielder Brian Jor- dan. "Those are true baseball fans. Win, lose or draw they were always there. To come here and be in the postseason and not have sellouts is surprising Braves officials were predicting tickets for Game 1 would sell out later today. "I think Atlanta fans are going to rise to the occasion said Paul Adams, di- rector of ticket sales. Steven Fortt, a New York Yankees fan who lives in Atlanta, said he wasn't going to any playoff games at Turner Field because of the expensive tickets. Re- served seats are $45, and box seats are $60.

Tori Amos'new attempt falls short of greatness I). Micc.ih Smith Fowitamhead H.iliior As Tori Amos slides deeper into dec- t ronica, abandoning the lush marriage of voice and piano for a murky syn- thesized soup in which those two ele- ments merely float near the surface, only one question comes to mind: Has Tori lost her soul? I cycle CD one (Orbiting) of To Venus anil Back over and over on the CD player, searching for a crumb of any element predating Songs from lite Choir Girl Hotel, but with little hope. Tori's sympathetic vocals outline purposefully hazy photographs, little snippets of our miserable lives, in tracks like "Glory of the 8)'s"and "Josephine "Lust" invokes a trace of Under the Pink, perhaps, minus the breathtaking bridges that once marked Tori's songs. In fact, most of the songs on this CD are unpalatable due to the unbroken, one-dimensional flatness of tone and lyric content. Tori rarely raves or yells on her albums anymore; instead she politely whispers or slurs her words, taking the locus off her best instrument and placing it on the mediocre orchestra- tion provided by her synthesisers, drummer Matt Chamberlain and gui- tarist Steve Caton. She seems to have forgotten her tal- ent for songs about personal pain, opting for densely spacey numbers with vaguely depressing connotations. Her lyrics are a tangled mess in which you'd need a team of psychoan- alysts to interpret: "And I found out where my edge isand it bleeds into where you resistand my only way out is to goso far inbillowing out to somewhere she mumbles enigmati- cally in"Spring Haze Fortunately, 7b Venus anil Back comes equipped with a second, and much more enjoyable, CD of yummy live material. CD two Still Orbiting) is gorgeous, a miniaturized personal interpretation of Tori Amos by Tori Amos. She pours intense thought into the live versions of her songs, pausing to wring screams from her fans with quiet between-song monologues. "Precious Things"still resonates with jagged-edged junior high tragedy, but apocalyptic rhythm tracks, combined with Tori's other- worldly Choir Girl Hotel vocalizations, make the old standard fairly glisten with purpose as the first track. She zips happily through "Cruel and plays with "Cornflake GirT'like a new toy. I didn't like the new identity she gave to "llells for Her it's too busy, and lacks the simplicity that made the original version charming. Hut she sweetens "Cloud on My Tongue" by pairing her regretful voice with only the piano. Tori also introduces a tew non- album tracks like "Cooling" and "Purple People much to my delight. Buy the album, with my blessing. But buy it for the live versions of "Little Earthquakes"and the vocally explosive "Wait ress two of her most memorable tracks to date.

After breaking off a sizable chunk of the New Wave movement in 1980 and becoming a radio staple with their debut album, the band's personal tragedies began. By 1983, both their lead guitarist and bassist were dead, both of them from drug overdoses. The remaining members, singer Chrissie Hynde and drummer Blair Cunningham, picked up and went ahead with their music, never quite catching the wave they once rode the very crest of. Several years and solo careers later, the Pretenders are staging a come- back. Indeed, Chrissie sat down to write a few songs and used her imagi- nation; the tracks portray this suc- cinctly. With their newest release Vim El Amor, the Pretenders have made a plea for a Renaissance of pure pop music. The album was originally slated to be concept album about not playing by the rules, in honor of the final trackBikerThat album was rejected after Chrissie married a Cuban man and cancer cut her long-standing friendship with I.inda McCartney short. Linda had been working on photographs for Vim weeks prior to her death, and the cover shot is in honor of her memory. The opening track"Popstar despite its biting lyrics and mantra of "They don't make'em like they used to is a poor sample of what is to come. It's bubblegum-poppy.and the rest of the And then came rock'n' roll. Three of the songs on this album just grab you by the necktie and yankNails in the Road"and"Legalize Me"rock like the Pretenders of days of yore. But the track "Baby's Breath" is the best song songs are either straight-up rock'n' roll or power pop. But the song does have a good message in that radio songs nowadays are lacking in any- thing resembling professionalism. The next songHuman is their lat- est single and it ought to be one of the top singles of the year. Hynde confess- es in her signature crystal-clear roar that she's "only human on the inside Then comes"From the Heart Down about how the man loves the woman in the tune. The lyrics on this album bite down and never quite let go. on the disk. Above the crunch guitar and harmonica-driven beat, Hynde wailsWhy did you send me roses? Save them for someone's death Vim marks a return to form for the Pretenders. Considering all the tur- moil the band has been through, it's a miracle that they even have the frame of mind to make such great music.

Hut it you've eaten at Ragazzi's oik too many times, or just want to clutch your date's hand over a romantic dinner in a cozier setting than usual, check out our picks for the best locally-owned Italian fare Greenville has to offer. Poppy's Pizza Den IVppy's Fizza Den is an excellent choice when you're in the mood for good Italian food in a relaxed atmosphere. Unlike chain Italian restaurants in the Greenville area, the locally owned Peppy's is more likely to satisfy your desire for a good, quality meal. Their pizza prkes are unbeatable. If you buy one pizza, any size, with any number of toppings, you get another like it for free. The menu also features a delicious variety of pastas, sandwiches, steaks and subs, prepared to order. I lam and cheese subs are a specialty, so try one if you hap- pen by. You can also create your own salad at their salad bar, which is loaded with Iresh vegetables and plenty of dressings. Not only does Peppy's serve tasty food at sat- isfactory price but those who dine in are surrounded by an attractive,clean sell ing. The service is quick and friendly, loo. All foods are available for take-out. Peppy's Pizza Den is located on the cor- ner of Red Hanks Road and Greenville Houlevard. Bolt's As I stepped onto the hardwood fkxir the smell of fresh Italian food hit me. Top 40 hits were playing on the radio while Sportscenter was on TV I took a window seat on a high stool in the corner and waited for a waitress. Almost immediately someone came to help me, and I began to examine the menu. The prices are about what you would expect form a pizzeria, reasonable but not too cheap. The food is worth every penny, much better than what you'd find in a larger pizza corporation. There area number of specialty pizzas you can order, or you can choose your own toppings. 1 ordered a small behe- moth, which is a ten-inch personal pizza, with five or six meats and lour vegeta- bles. Hut as in all good pizzerias, the food doesn't stop at the pizza. Ikili's also makes subs, which are reasonably priced,and stromboli which I was told is the best in town. They dkl get my order wrong the first time but were nice enough to make me another pizza and take the price of my drink off the ticket. They even haw live musk every Tuesday and specials on drafts throughout the week. They even deliver to anywhere in Greenville, provid- ed it's not too busy in the restaurant. For someone on a tight budget this is a place you can go maybe once every two weeks or so. Holi's, located on the corner of Fifth and Cotanchc Streets,has a sports bar atmosphere with a quiet little pizzeria fed. This is one place that I high- ly recommend you visit. Finellis "Yo! Vinnie and the boys want to go get some good Italian food to fill their respectably large bellies. They'd like to know if you've heard of any such place that could, you know, entertai n such a notion, Capite?" "Yeah, Finellis Cafe's rail good for that sort of ting. Mickey and his boys go down there all the lime.They talk about how good the lasagna is and stuff. They say it's like Ma Fratdli used to make before she got caught by all those kills. And ihey say that the portions are so big, even Fat Tbni lias to have a doggy bag. And you get .ill the bread that's named alter us you want, not to mention all the salad with the dressing named after us! Also, they got a different seafood every day. Who knows, you might even eat a fish thai Luca lirassi sleeps with.God rest his immortal soul(spits on the floor) "They got so many types of pasta, PizanaYou can get linguine,spaghetti, tettuccini with 'Fredogravy. You can even make your own pasta dish with one of the aforementioned noodles and a salsa of your choice, with grilled chkken or shrimp for just two dams extra "They gots sandwiches, Mr. Pesci?" "Sure, Bobby! All sorts of stuff. Philly cheese steaks, grilled chicken and even this grilled cheese with four types of cheeses. Not bad, methinks "Sounds good, Joey-boy. Ybu wanna go? "Nah, youse guys go ahead. There's not many tables, so you better get there before 5 p.m. Anyway, somebody's trying to whack me, so I better just get Myrtle to fix me some nice arugala salad. Bon Appetit Villa Roma Conveniently located on HKh Street, Villa Roma Restaurant offers patrons a traditional Italian-style dining experi- ence. It is, undoubtedly, oik of the finest c;isual spots to e-at Italian food around the Greenville area. Not only is the food marvelous, but the stall' is also extremdy friendly, profes- sional and happy to wait on you. Prices typically range from W�S to $ 12.95 for popular entrees like Eggplant Parmigana and Baked Ziti.and although the sauce on the pasta is a bit sweet, the meal is definitely high-quality. If you are not a fan of pasta, the menu also includes a variety of poultry and veal options, not to mention pizza. In addition to the main course.giiests also receive a side salad (including fat- free dressing for health nuts!) and a bas- ket of Villa Roma's authenticddedable garlic bread. The romantic atmosphere is reminis- cent of an old-world Italian establishment with dim lighting,warm glowing candles and soft lyrics flowing in the background. It's quaint and provides a sense of calmness away from the bustle of a day of dasses or work. Villa Roma is a welcome change from countless dinners at home or any ot the dining halls. Interestingly enough,a sports bar is also connected to the restaurant so fans can check scores and memorabilia in between courses. Although there are numerous Italian restaurants in Greenville, not all of them display the characteristics that make Villa Roma authentic including accessibility for those students that liveon-campus. Among the vast selection of food, the quality service and the atmosphere (which I was once told you couldn't eat), Villa Roma truly brings the"house of Rome"to Greenville.

Gary (Irani had it. Marlon Brando had it. And now, Spacey has it. It's the ability to make every role seem like it was written for him, as il he doesn't have to act at all. So it should come as no surprise that in the new movie "American Beauty Spacey's talent finds a star in the char- acter of Lester Burnham. Even with a stellar ensemble cast, featuring Annette Belling as Spacey's "chcata- holic real estate-selling wife Carolyn, the film grabs a hold of Spacey and never lets up. The story is of your run-of-the-mill middlc-agcr coping with the tact that his wife is cheating on him by jump- starting his day with a itiick game ol "Shower Olympics" (you had to be there). Their teenage daughter hates her parents and gels her kicks by posing for a video camera-obsessed guy next door. Lester is going through a mid-life cri- sis something fierce. He starts working at a fast food restaurant te-try and find his youth. But this is moYc than your typical "I wistuLwefdi cowboy" mid- life crisis. It seems old Lester is up to the Devil's business. While his wile is out cheating on him, Lester has been Ryan Kennemur Stuff Writer Kevin Spacey is nothing short ol a Greek god, urn, regarding acting, ot course. Even in his most minor roles (see "The kef"), he brings to the screen something that is lacking in most big Hollywood talents these days. It's his charisma,added to his'every- man" demeanor, multiplied by his sense of professionalism, that gets you. It was Spacey who made"Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" watch- able, and same for "Seven He's not one of these guys that are all looks and no substance.

This is possibly ihe most striking visu- al I've ever seen in any film, and I shared Lester's daughter's reaction. This is the beauty of the movie: we teel what the characters feel. Not like "Blair Witch where wc felt just the fear of the actors on screen, but every emotion on the human palate.

HERE COMES "AIRPLANE Michael Edwards Sniff Writer f This oldie-but- rent-me comedy was written and produced by jim Abrahams, and David and )erry Zuckcr. Recognize those names? The AbrahamsZuckcr team have worked on man; a fine and funny film over I he past two decades. I lowever, they are probably best remembered for their series of "Naked Gun" movies in the early 90s. Yet, that "Naked Gun" sensibility is definitely evi- dent in all of I heir films, espe- cially in "Airplane (he 1980 disaster film sendup. Like most of the AbraiiamsZuckcr filmsAirplane is a hard film to review. Not because it's a bad movie. But, in order to fully appreciate the movie, you have to see il. Still, I must try to convey the spirit of this film to student (tidy Daniel, summing up the frustrations of many others who attend Hendrix's shows. The system now in Hendrix Theatre was installed in 1974 and has gone through a few improvements, includ- ing Dolby Digital Surround Sound and a new Strong Theater System platter arrangement. Now, to help combat the sound prob- lems, sound-reducing pads will be placed in the projection booth to reduce "bounce or the retraction ot sound oil the walls of the theatre itself. "The sound is a problem, yes, but it will be adjusted in the upcoming weeks by the company who originally installed the system said Brent Williams, Mendenhall technical direc- tor.

"It has been my experience that the movies often break or have something wrong with the film itself said student Cliff Bailey. But students should consider the you, the reader, if only to keep my prestigious job and fabulous salary.

For all its problems, movie night at Hendrix is usually met with anticipa- tion from many thankful students lor a free source of entertainment in a grow- ing world of student fees, rising tuition costs and the many other expenditures we come across daily. Yes, the theatre needs some work, but it's still the best deal on campus. Look for upgrades in sound quality within the next few weeks. See you at the movies!

As the doctor quick describes every symptom of the ill- ness, the pilot rapidly succumbs. With the pilot out of commission, it falls to Striker to land the plane. Hut can he overcome his latent war trauma? The plot is so generic that a quick summary reveals nothing. So, how do I ably describe such scenes as the bar- room tight between two Girl Scouts? The shell- shocked vet who thinks he's Ethel Merman? Striker's drinking problem? Or even the gratuitous slam against Konald Reagan movies? Abrahams and the Zuckcrs take full advantage of the visual medium, never missing an opportunity to put in a written or visual gag. There's something funny going on all the time. If you look away for even a few seconds, you're bound to miss some- thing. In fact, just thinking about it, I'm amazed at how much material is crammed into this 88-minute movie. If for no other reason, rent "Airplane for the cast. Where else can you see Leslie Nielsen, Peter Graves, Kareem Abdul-Jabar, and Uarbara Uillingsley (TV's une Cleaver) in the same movie? Well, maybe in a real disaster movie.

This walk through the fields of other bars brought me to Peasant's Cafe for the much-anticipated return of ah Works, a Baltimore-based five-man reggae band. Even though I'm much more into the harder sound that the Attic normally provides, I do like to sprinkle a little Capleton, Huju lianlon and Gregory Isaacs (lava into the Limp Hikit and Korn medley thai normally occupies my disc changer, so I was looking for- ward to the show. Jah Works didn't disappoint. Sadly, I was lost in the crowd at the end of the show so I couldn't get a set list from the band. Trust me though, they were really strong. Mixing the classic, upbeat sound of traditional reggae with the dance hall flavors of Ituju Ranton, they formed a sound that was surprisingly original, which is quite hard to successfully pull off in the reg- gae world. What shocked me the most was the soulful and almost, dare I say it, beautiful sounds coming from the lead singer's mouth. His vocal skills got the crowd eating out of his hand. I almost fed like I have to mention the crowd. For a downtown guy like me, I have become accustomed to the women dressing up in their black stretchy-pants and nice white (or optional blue) shirts shaking their booties to ihe same rhythm as every other girl in the club. Hut thankfully enough, I saw something different. Listen up Indies, these women were still beautiful without the fancy clothes and make-up. They didn't care about some other girl talking to their boyfriend. They danced a litde weird and some people were just gyrating like they had a real bad case of the cooties, but they had fun and didn't care what anyone else said about them. That is the Webster's definition of class, folks. Hack to the band. I don't know why, but by the end of the night their songs just kind of blended together into one big jam. With the saxophone playing well off the electronic steel drum, they provided those listening with the won- derful sounds of reggae. If they ever return, you have to catch this band.
