Outreach Network offers aid to eastern NC Faculty and staff help victims rebuild Terra Steinbeiser ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR More than 250 faculty and staff members have come to- gether to form the ECU Outreach Network (ECU ON), a volunteer organization designed to provide help to the people and businesses affected by last month's flooding. ECU ON plans to take a ma- jor role in the long-term recov- ery of the region by offering as- sistance in five areas: planning and zoning, economic and busi- ness development, construction safety and rebuilding, health and environmental issues and coun- seling. "We realized that more needed to be done said Al Delia, associate vice chancellor of Re- gional Development Services. "The university had the re- sources, we just needed to orga- nize them in a different way, thus ECU ONj was born in a room on campus that frenzied week after the hurricane Earlier this month ECU offi- cials attended town meetings in Windsor, Belhaven, Tarboro, Goldsboro, Lake Waccamaw and Kenansville with three goals in mind: to offer university re- sources, to inform the commu- nities of the other available re- sources and to listen to what lo- cal leaders had to say. "We were on target with what we thought their needs would be Delia said. "What we weren't expecting was the outpouring of support and the desire to have ECU lead the region in the recov- ery efforts ECU ON presented a commu- nity forum last week titled "Hur- ricanes, Floods, Urbanization and Health" in order to provide an opportunity for people to ask questions and discuss floods, hurricanes and their effects. Speakers spoke about the long-term effects the flooding will have on water quality, pre- dicting future floods and the impact of floods on the environ- ment. While rebuilding and clean- ing up are among the obvious needs, Delia and fellow ECU ON member Tom Feldbush, vice chancellor of Research and Graduate Studies, agree that the single biggest need is dealing with the emotional aftermath of the disaster. "So many people are just dev- astated across the eastern part of our state said Feldbush. "They may not even realize that coun- seling is something they need To handle this need, the East- ern Area Health Education Cen- ter (AHEC) is coordinating coun- seling activities within ECU along with outside volunteers.

Another theme during the ser- vice was volunteerism. "The response to the needs have been overwhelming said Judy Baker, director of the volun- teer program. Baker also said that 514 vol- unteers were put into place dur- ing the first week after the hurri- cane. According to Baker, even student volunteers whose houses were affected by the flood still gave their time to help others. The ECU Gospel Choir per- formed three songs during the service, including "Oh Lord We Worship "I Won't Forget" and "Be Grateful Others who spoke during the ceremony were SGA President Cliff Webster, SGA Treasurer Overton Harper and Father Paul Vaeth, pastor at the Catholic Newman Center.

ECU honors their small classes Large enrollment doesn't seem too big by Angela Harne Staff Writer The magic number for students is 125. No more than this number of students can be in a class at ECU. Members of the faculty and staff praise our small class- es which gives students the chance to relate to one anoth- er and to their professors. "Class size at ECU is very rea- sonable said Dr. Dorothy Muller, dean of Undergraduate Studies. "I think students are very fortunate here with our small classes According to Muller, class sizes are determined by the curricu- lum and course level. The aver- age class size now consists of 30-35 students. According to Bob Thompson of Planning and Institutional Research, ECU only has five to six rooms which hold more than 100 students. "Most students are rarely ever in two classes with over 100 at one time Muller said. "Class size depends on the mode of instruction for the material. For instance, if the course consists of basically lec- tures than the class can be larg- er. For the most part professors don't ask questions, but rather just give out the information needed. While on the other hand, if a course requires group work and interaction than the classes tend to be smaller According to Dr. Phyllis Horns, dean of the School of Nursing, undergraduate courses usually have around 50 students, while the clinical courses have around 10. "It is a state regulation that we cannot have more than 10 stu- dents at one time doing clini- cal work Horns said. "Besides if we had more I don't think that we could safely handle any more kids According to Muller, under- graduate courses tend to be larger thangraduate courses. "Once students have entered their major, class size sufficiently drops she said. Petula Satterfield of Planning and Institutional Research said that the undergraduate classes of Fall 1998 averaged 32. Upper level courses, 3000- 4000 classes, aver- aged 21, while grad- uate classes averaged 12. According to Muller, the School of Business contains the largest classes and the School of Art contains the smallest classes. "Art classes tend to be smaller because more one-on-one lectures are required, like in piano Muller said.

According to Harrison, the big- gest attraction this year is the soft- ware program Blackboard. This computer package helps the univer- sity place courses on the Internet, providing long distance learning. "We are sort of the leader in Blackboard Harrison said. A presentation about Reznet, the residence hall Internet service, and the University Housing computer labs will be given by Aaron Lucier, assistant coordinator of technology for Housing, and Rich Bingaman, Housing computer lab manager. They will speak to faculty and staff about what computer and Internet services are available to stu- dents. It is hoped that this will give faculty a better idea of what kind of computer technology to which stu- dents have access. "We'll also be giving a glimpse of the next step that Reznet is tak- ing Lucier said. He will also discuss the plans to increase Internet bandwidth in the residence halls and the Housing computer labs. They will also dis- cuss the three-year replacement policy in Housing Computer labs. The labs replace computers in each of the three Housing labs at Aycock� Umstead and White residence halls every year. This summer Aycock lab will be updated. Other topics of discussion at tlJ exposition are a demonstration of the Student Desktop and a sharing of state contact information by materials management. The IT sup- port team will display their plans for a program that would allow stu- dents to enter computer problems on the Internet and send them to CIS, instead of calling the IT sup- port team help desk.

According to Kay Wilkerson, director of Health Ser- vices, the expansion is long overdue. "The request for an expansion was put in ten years ago Wilkerson said. "Now that the plans are concrete, the process has begun. We decided to just add to our building rather than build a new one because our loca- tion is very convenient for all students no matter where they are on campus According to Wilkerson, 1200 square feet will be added to the building for a new clinical unit. The unit will Include two new treatment rooms, doctor offices, a new physical therapy unit, a larger x-ray room and pharmacy, along with exclusive bathrooms which will have window slots specifically for urine samples. The construction is costing approximately $3.5 bil- lion. Funds are coming from debt services which sup- ported the building of the Student Recreational Cen- ter. Carol Himes, ECU Facilities architect, said that the addition will take about 12 months to complete. Stu- dent Health staff will then move into the new part of the building, while the old side is renovated. The reno- vation should take six months. Construction is currently going well, with only some flaws. "So far everything is going smoothly Himes said. "We have hit a couple of water and electrical lines, but they were quickly fixed "We are a little behind schedule due to the flood. but overall everyone is working with us pretty well said Jenna Batan, Facilities engineer. "The additions will offer patients more privacy and confidentiality Wilkerson said. The building's decor will also be changing. "We are going to spruce up the place with many plants and glass designs Wilkerson said. "We want patients to feel better even while they are sick According to Wilkerson, the construction in the front of the building will only last another 3-4 weeks, while workers place sewage lines in the ground. "We want to let students know that we are still open even though the entrance is hard to find Wilkerson said. "We urge students who need urgent care due to nausea, high fever, vomiting or broken bones to call 328-6904 before coming. That way we can be prepared and halt construction so we can open the gates and allow the patient to enter through the back by the Speight Building. We are terribly sorry for any incon- veniences Students are encouraged to share their ideas about the renovations with Student Health. "If students have any questions or concerns about the construction, please, do not hesitate to let us know said Heather Zophy, director of health education with Student Health. "Comment forms are available in the health service lobby, and the phone lines are open Wilkerson, Al Matthews vice chancellor of Student Life, the clinical coordinator, the medical coordinator and Richard Johnson from East Group toured several campuses to get ideas for the expansion. "We visited Chapel Hill, Florida State, Virginia, Ten- nessee and NC State to get ideas Wilkerson said. "We checked out what they did well, and what was not so wonderful. We took a lot of pictures and asked a lot of questions.

The overall violent crime rate� 566 murders, rapes, robberies and assaults per 100,000 residents- dropped to its lowest figure since 556 in 1985, just before an epidemic of crack cocaine sent it soaring. The FBI report showed the use of guns to commit murder and rob- bery is decreasing. Also, one of the most terrifying crimes that rose along with the crack epidemic- murder by a stranger�dropped be- low half of all murders, to 48 per- cent, for only the second time dur- ing the 1990s. The national total of seven seri- ous violent and property crimes re- ported to 17,000 police agencies around the nation was 12,475,634 in 1998, down 5.4 percent from the previous year and 12 percent since 1989, the FBI said. "For seven years now we have seen serious crime go down in each region of the country and in cities and towns large and small. But we must not become complacent At- torney General Janet Reno said. In Pennsylvania, the number of murders in Pittsburgh declined from 50 in 1997 to 36 in 1998. Erie's also dropped: to two murders in 1998 from four the year before. Philadel- phia had 338 murders in 1998, while York had seven, according to the report. 1997 figures for those cities were not available. Reno credited "more police of- ficers on the street, greater partner- ships between law enforcement agencies, continued efforts to keep guns away from criminals, and a balanced approach that includes prevention, intervention, punish- ment and supervision President Clinton inlned the rail against complacency. "This is good news for America's families, and it shows we can indeed rum the tide on crime he said. But, he added, "even as crime falls, we must not let down our guard. That is why we must redouble our efforts to build on what works Together, we can make America the safest big nation in the world Republicans credited their legis- lation encouraging longer prison sentences. Criminologists also cited the aging of baby boomers past crime-prone years and the decline of crack markets. During 1998, all violent crimes�murder, rape, robbery and aggravated assault�and all the far more numerous property crimes� burglary, auto theft and larceny- theft�dropped in both number and rate. The violent crime rate, which adjusts for population growth, was down 7.3 percent, led by an 11.3 percent decline for robbery and a� 7.4 drop for murder. The aggravated � j assault rate was down 5.7 percent - to the lowest level in a decade. The rape rate declined 4.2 percent to thjeu lowest in 15 years. The property crime rate fell 6.2 percent down 9.3 percent for auto theft, 6.2 percent for burglary and 5.7 percent for larceny-theft. i Thp murder rate nf Al ppr 100,000 residents was the lowest in , 31 years. As in 1997, it was the low- , est since 6.2 in 1967. The robbery rate of 165.2 was the lowest in 29 years, since 148.4 in 1969. ,j Firearms were used In 64.9 per , cent of murders, down from 67.8 ; percent in 1997. The drop in fire arm murders accounted for the en- tire drop in murders nationwide. The percentage of robberies with, i guns dipped from 39.7 to 38.2. ; "That's a consequence of all the. ,� efforts of limiting access to guns for. ; people who shouldn't have them i said Alfred Blumstein, a professor of urban systems and operations re- search at Carnegie-Mellon Univer- sity in Pittsburgh, who directs the National Consortium on Violence See CRIME, page 3 TAX XTVEX ESTATES would like to extend a heart-felt TfiXNX YOU to our residents both past and present.

The brown freshwater plume containing human and animal waste is flowing into coastal estuaries. It sits atop the salt water, robbing the salt water of oxy- gen from surface air and reducing its salinity. Both ingredients are essential for aquatic life. What we're seeing is an ecological event on the catastrophic scale said Hans Paerl, a marine scientist at he University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Floyd dumped 20 inches of rain on eastern North Carolina on Sept. 16, killing at least 48 people as it flooded hog lagoons, sewer plants, homes and cars. "The resulting sludge is flowing from the Neuse and Tar rivers into Pamlico Sound, the nation's second-larg- est' estuary, and from the Cape Fear River, near Wilmington, into the Atlantic. � The largest affected area is a 350-square-mi!e ex- panse of Pamlico Sound and part of adjacent Core Sound. Paerl said he found drastically low oxygen levels in the bottom waters of Pamlico Sound�one milligram per liter, compared to the normal seven milligrams. "While fishermen have to avoid the dead zone, they still have been able to catch fish and shrimp in areas not affected by the dirty water said Nancy Fish, a spokeswoman for the state Division of Marine Fisher- ies. Initial testing showed the catch was safe to eat. But Paerl and other scientists said it may be next spring or summer before the runoff's long-term effect on the sound and the Atlantic is known. In 1993, massive flooding doubled the size of a Gulf of Mexico "dead zone" that some scientists believe was caused by fertilizer runoffs in the Mississippi River ba- sin. The situation in Pamlico Sound, an estuary second in size only to Chesapeake Bay, especially concerns sci- entists because pollutants won't readily be flushed into the ocean. The Pamlico has just three inlets to the At- � ACROSS OTHER CAMPUSES U. Virginia�Almost a year after its completion, the Nobel Peace Lau- reates Conference still is benefiting the University of Virginia. The Dali Lama, who spoke at the conference, recently gave10,000 to the university to help implement a program in Tibetan studies. "Although the program is far from being a reality�organizers said they still need to raise at least $6 million� the donation is an important first step. 'Jeffrey Hopkins, a professor of Re- ligious Studies at UVA, said the Dali Lama decided to donate money for the program after meeting with uni- versity professors at last November's conference. After the conversation, Hopkins said he wrote the Dali Lama a letter asking him to help provide funding to implement a Tibetan Stud- ies program. He said the Dali Lama "answered very positively and gave the money to the University Committee for the Trans-regional Interdisciplinary Study of Tibet and the Himalayas. He added that the money comes from the Dali Lama's personal fund. "It's his own money Hopkins said. Hopkins and Religious Studies Professor David Germano are the co- chairmen of the committee, which is based in the Center for South-Asian Snidies. Germano said he hopes the pro- posed Tibetan Studies program will allow students to consider all aspects of Tibetan culture, rather than just the religious practices in the country. He said he hopes a new program will help "get Tibetan culture out of the Shangri-La vision we have of it The new program should inte- grate history, anthropology and other disciplines to emphasize the Tibetans' "own history and diversity of experi- ences he added. The program will "not just focus on Tibet Hopkins said, but also will examine Tibet's relationship with its surrounding areas�China, the Himalayas and Burma. Religious Studies Chairman Harry Gamble said the Religious Studies department attempts to "engage our subject from several points of view but programs such as Tibetan Studies can help present a broader view of a subject. The program is "a very compli- mentary addition" to the University curriculum, Gamble said. Despite the Dali Lama's initial contributions to the program, there still is an extensive amount of fund raising that must be done before the Tibetan Studies can be developed fully. About $6 million is necessary to start the program, including a1.5 million endowment to maintain it, Hopkins said. , Gamble said the fund raising will " have to be a joint effort" among vari- ous professors and departments at the university. Hopkins said he hopes to target "friends of the university who have seen the kind of work we have done" in Tibetan studies.

Fourteen years and $40.2 million after it was con- ceived, Exploris has emerged as an interactive, high- tech, 84,000-square-foot museum featuring everything from a piece of the Berlin Wall to news feeds from net- works around the world. Exploris isn't the first museum to take a global per- spective, but it may be the largest. Worldways in St. Louis, among others, also focuses on the globe, said Janet Rice Elman, executive director of the Association of Youth Museums in Washington, an organization of which Exploris is a member. Other cities, too, have taken creative approaches to children's museums. Baltimore's new Port Discovery dives into children's dreams for the future with exhib- its about inventing, exploring and discovery. "But most children's museums focus on local is- sues Elman said. Inside Exploris, visitors will gather in the Global Village Square, where a terrazzo map of the world lies at their feet and bridges connect exhibits on the sec- ond floor. Throughout the building, museum-goers can peer into shelves and drawers of artifacts. Computer games and interactive programs let visitors learn more about the objects. In a section called TradeWorks, tennis shoes, hats and scarves help replicate a typical American hall closet in an exhibit that features closets from around the world. Visitors find out where they came from in an interactive computer exercise. In "Living in Balance visitors learn how much water people around the world consume. A computer game lets them design a drinking water system for a community. Next door to museum is Exploris Middle School, which opened in 1997 and has served as a laboratory for the museum. Its 168 students in grades six through eight test exhibits and programs. Exploris officials describe the charter school as a demonstration center for schools around the state, al- lowing teachers to test techniques. They hope to hold seminars for teachers at Exploris and offer visits to the middle school. Programs and series will showcase experts such as author Robert Thurman, the first Western man the Dali Lama ordained as a Tibetan Buddhist monk. Thurman, who spoke at a donor luncheon last week, praised Exploris and the opportunities it offers. "It's marvelous Thurman said, who also is direc- tor of the Tibet House in New York, which preserves Tibetan culture. "I'm proud of North Carolina. If s like 3 the state of North Carolina is coming of age Exploris President Anne Bryan expects about 300,000 visitors each year. To increase the museum's exposure, officials plan . to develop a travel service and educational materials gift items and home accessories to be sold at museums and gift shops around the country. Alan Daniels, director of Exploris Enterprises, will showcase a line of gifts and home accessories, spun off � from the wooden doors from Zanzibar in Exploris' main lobby, at shows in New York, High Point and Atlanta, beginning in January. By September 2001, Exploris plans to open an IMAX theater with educational films. Dave Heinl, president and chief executive officer of' the Greater Raleigh Convention and Visitors Bureau, H said Exploris is an important addition to the city's cul tural attractions. "It adds to the other fine museums we have here, so that's helping to make us look like the Smithsonian. of the South Heinl said. - North Carolina's capital is already home to the state's art, history and natural sciences museums. Soon, , the state natural sciences museum will move into a new 200,000-square-foot building. Exploris developers plan to work with other muse- ums to coordinate exhibits, and officials at other down town museums expect Exploris to boost their atten- dance. j Other cities also have relied on children's museums j to bring people downtown. According to the Associa- � tion of Youth Museums, more than 40 children's mu- 1 seums, including Port Discovery in Baltimore and the ! Chicago Children's Museum, have aided downtown J revitalization. "Museums can also set a city apart from its com- petitors said Edward Able, president and chief execu- 1 tive officer of the American Association of Museums. "They are symbols of livability and civilization of cities that send strong messages for prospective resi- dents and businesses Able said. CRIME from page 2 Research. Blumstein credited big city po- lice departments for stepping up searches for guns, particularly among juveniles, tracing guns to illegal sellers'and even paying bounties to turn in guns, as well as federal and state background checks to prevent sales to felons. Criminologists pointed out the national figures obscured a lin- gering problem: Although teen- age murders have been cut in half since their peak in 1993, they re- main almost twice as high as in 1984 before crack gangs began arming some teenagers, and their schoolmates got guns to copy them or to protect themselves. "The crack epidemic has sub- sided, but we haven't taken all the guns out of the hands of youths said James Alan Fox, professor of criminal justice at Boston's North- eastern University. "Youth crime is down but not out "Police have adopted smarter strategies, focusing on guns and high-risk juveniles, taking a preven- tive approach rather than waiting in squad cars for 911 to ring Fox said. "Communities are involved as never before; corporations have made jobs available; clergy have taken their ministry to the streets "But if we let our guard down, the problem could resurface with a vengeance, because every year for the next couple decades we're go- ing to have a record number of black and Latino teenagers, and they tive in the most at-risk situations Fox said. Although there were highly pub- licized mass shootings by students at a handful of suburban or rural schools, the overall incidence of deadly violence at schools has been declining as well. In 1998, rural areas, the last places reached by the crack gangs. Anally joined in the decline in crime volumes and rates that big cities and � smaller cities have seen for several years. The year before, rural areas . had seen a one percent increase in crime total from 1996. Crime also dropped in every re- gion: down seven percent in then Northeast and West, five percent in ,1 the South and four percent in the �; Midwest.

(Greenville Times Poll '99) The East Carolinian www.tec.ecu.edu ACROSS OTHER CAMPUSES NC State�In January of 1994, indigenous peasants In several towns in eastern Chiapas took up arms against the government, demanding that Mexico end the hu- man rights' violations, political isolation and lack of economic opportunity that has plagued the people for over 500 years. �- The Zapatista rebels proclaimed resistance to op- pression, and governmental indifference to poverty and depressed social conditions in the state of Chiapas and the surrounding states of southeast Mexico. Taking up arms was the only way to be heard and was part of a larger strategy for democratic justice. , The people of these disadvantaged communities have the ideas and ambition to improve their living conditions but often do not have the knowledge to get their ideas off the ground. . Therefore, in the fall of 1998, six students founded Engineers Without Borders (EWB) at N.C. State to com- bat that problem. According to Myrto Tripathi, founder and president of EWB, the common people of these communities do not have the knowledge and education that the stu- dents have. EWB serves two purposes at NCSU. The first goal is to provide technical advice and support to tjiese disadvantaged communities by working hand- in-hand with the people on projects. The other goal is to increase awareness on campus about the culture, history and lifestyles of Third World communities to reach economic development. Although they are an independent organization, EWB works in collaboration with university student associations in France and Mexico. Tripathi observed some organizational concepts in France, and used some of them to pilot NCSU's organization. The French organization of EWB works a lot with Third World communities in Africa. North Carolina is the perfect place to provide help to other countries, distributing contacts throughout the world. "Our main goal is to work with Latin America Tripathi said. EWB helps the community accomplish tasks and goals the community sets for itself. "We do not want to impose on their way of life Tripathi said. "It is important that the community can operate, maintain, and improve any process or equip- ment involved without outside help. I believe that the common people are the hands of progress. You can educate your brain and soul by building interest and getting involved The group's current project works with S. Guerrero, addressing the need for energy production related to waste management. Specific technical, commercial, environmental and cultural needs have been set by the community. Students will provide commercial and technical support to the village, finding out how to make sugar from sugar cane and develop a production unit adapted to the local technology and products. Another goal is to produce power from the recycling of methane emanating from pig waste, which is harm- ful to the population health and to the ecosystem. Tripathi emphasizes that EWB is for all students with humanitarian interests, not only those who are engi- neers. NCSU's organization consists of students in the departments of design, business, communications, English, and of course, engineering. "The students' efforts help not only the people of the communities, but can be beneficial for students themselves. You learn many other things that are ei- ther part of your major or outside of that Tripathi said. Alternative sentencing program changes worry public defenders DURHAM (AP)�Changes to al- ternative sentencing programs state- wide are not as dramatic as public defenders believe, says the judge who helped develop them. Beginning Jan. 1, so-called "community penalties" programs will be required to share informa- tion that counselors gleaned from defendants and that usually only went to defense lawyers preparing ways to keep clients out of jail. Counselors often suggest alter- natives to incarceration, such as drug rehabilitation and intensive probation. Some lawyers are worried because counselors sometimes turn up information harmful to defen- dants, such as criminal histories and drug use. "We have devised a program that allows judges access to the same valuable pre-sentencing informa- tion as defense attorneys, but (it) also protects the rights of defen- dants said Judge Tom Ross, direc- tor of the Administrative Office of the Courts. Ross said while prosecutors will have access to information from the interviews, each community has the latitude to decide when that infor- mation is available. But Bob Brown, Durham County's chief public defender, said the new law means defendants must testify against themselves if they use the program. For now. Brown said he will only use the Durham sen- tencing program on a case-by-case basis: "I can't have clients know- ingly place themselves in greater jeopardy by participating His reluctance to use the pro- gram has prompted one local law- yer to write a letter to Durham Su- perior Court Judge Orlando Hudson demanding Brown's dismissal. Under the new law, judges can request background information about defendants that previously only defense attorneys could get. It also allows prosecutors to gain ac- cess to the same information at some point in the case. The Durham Community Pen- alties Program received 300 referrals for criminal defendants during the last fiscal year. Of the 105 plans pre- pared for keeping people out of prison by using other penalties, 70 of them were accepted by judges. Alternative sentencing programs sprouted across the state in 1983 when lawmakers were looking for ways to ease prison overcrowding and rehabilitate nonviolent offend- ers. Many programs are run by non- profit organizations partly financed by the state with matching dollars coming from each community. That public money is one more reason to make pre-sentencing ser- vices available to judges and not just to defense attorneys, Ross said. Thursday, Oct. 28,199 news@studentmedia.ecu.edu � Hunter innocent in murder ! PITTSBORO, N.C. (AP)� Skyland man accused of shooting a fellow deer hunter to death was found Innocent of involuntary manslaughter. Scott R. McElreath, 18, was on trial for three days this week in Chatham County Superior Court In the shooting of Alan Ray James, 39, of Holly Springs. James was killed early Nov. 18, when a bullet from a high-powered rifle struck him in the back as rre walked down a broad power-line clearing in a forest near the north end of Jordan Lake. James was wear- ing an orange cap. The prosecution argued that McElreath, who said he was shoot- ing at a deer, should have seen the hat and should have recognized a person only 75 yards away. McElreath was shooting from a 15- foot tree stand. In addition, the area where McElreath was shooting was clear for about 100 yards. "1 don't want to question the jury's decision, but so many deer hunters come to Chatham County and they need to know they better behave in a safe manner or they will be prosecuted said Doug Thoren, assistant district attorney, who pros- ecuted the case. McElreath, who did not testify, faced up to 23 months in prison if See MURDER, page 5 Thursday, O www.tec.ecu J Consider an Advanced Degree.

Gore, Bradley spar in debate HANOVER, N.H. (AP) � Pressed in campaign debate about President Clinton's personal behavior, Al Gore said Wednesday night he shared the public's disappointment and anger over the Monica Lewinsky affair and sought to provide "as much conti- nuity and stability" as possible dur- ing the impeachment crisis. "He's my friend the vice presi- dent said of Clinton, fielding the first question from a voter in the first debate with presidential cam- paign rival Bill Bradley. Bradley, too, was pressed on a potential campaign softspot, Gore's criticism of his Senate retirement in 1996 at a time when Republicans had taken control of Congress. "The things I wanted to do I couldn't do in the Senate he said, referring to stops at Stanford, in the private sector and at Notre Dame. In a gentle jab at Gore, who has been in government continuously since 1976, Bradley said that by leaving office, he had been able to "encounter people where they live their lives In a followup poke, he added, "if you're going to do this, you ought Jodeal with the big problems and you ought to have big solutions to See DEBATE. page6 Mother of Columbine victim mourned Prepaid Wireless � Wireless When -HLIXEl Th powe to oimpWy You buy a $20 card.

(AP) � Hundreds of people at- tended the funeral Wednesday of a woman who committed suicide six months after her daughter was criti- cally injured in the Columbine High School shooting. Carla Hochhalter, 48, shot her- self in a pawn shop last week. Rela- tives have said she suffered from clinical depression, and that the Columbine shootings and her daughter's grave injuries were more than she could tolerate. "The stress was mounting, and Carla was dealing with an illness pastor David Jensen told mourners at Christ Lutheran Church. "It be- came too much, not just for Carla, but for many of us About 700 people filled the church's main sanctuary and a sepa- rate room set up with folding chairs and a television screen for the over- flow crowd. Mrs. Hochhalter walked into an Englewood pawn shop Friday and asked to see a handgun, police said. When the clerk was distracted, she loaded it with her own ammunition" and killed herself. On April 20, her daughter, Anne' Marie, was shot in the spinal cord' when Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold' began their attack at Columbine and about 26 others were wounded before the gunmen killed them selves. Miss Hochhalter, 17, who was- partially paralyzed, was released from a rehabilitation hospital in' August. Several days before her mother's death, she said she moved' her legs for the first time during a- therapy session. Mrs. Hochhalter's suicide was the latest blow to a community still' reeling from the rampage. Last week, a Columbine student was arrested after allegedly saying he planned to "finish the job started by Harris and Klebold. "It just doesn't seem to quit said Bob Palmer, a member of Christ- Lutheran. "Things seemed to be set- tling down and getting back to nor- mal, and now this has happened. It's terrible Schools Unprepared for Y2K WASHINGTON (AP) � Students in thousands of schools may get unexpected extended winter vaca- tions because their districts are not prepared for Y2K problems affect- ing heating, food service and teacher payrolls, the government says. An Education Department sur- vey released Wednesday said 36 per- cent of public elementary and sec- ondary school districts are unpre- pared to fix date-sensitive computer systems. And 39 percent of colleges � where tuition-aid records and longtime research could be threat- ened � told the department survey they were not ready.

Gore and Bradley sat on stools in a Dartmouth College auditorium for the 60- minute debate, co-sponsored by CNN and WMUR-TV. The first primary election ballots of the 2000 campaign will be cast in New Hampshire in February, and the polls show Bradley with a lead, having overcome Gore's enormous early advantage. Gore sought to take the offensive 15 min- utes before the television cameras were switched on � and again as the scheduled hour was wrapping up, when he said he would gladly remain to answer any remaining questions. He took questions for more 90 minutes after the TV lights dimmed and Bradley de- parted the scene. Two polls released Wednesday showed that Bradley trails Gore nationally, though he has gained ground since July and April, respectively. Other polls suggest that Gore has slowed his slide in national polls this fall. The vice president had expressed no in- terest in debating until Bradley dashed his hopes for an easy primary contest. Gore now says he wants to debate weekly, though the campaigns have agreed on only a handful of dates before the first votes are cast in Iowa's Jan. 24 caucuses. Y2K from page 5 ance if they haven't done so already "This should be done before we send our students back to those schools he said. The Year 2000, or Y2K, problem refers to concerns about possible computer break- downs on Jan. 1, 2000, because some com- puters were originally programmed to recog- nize just the last two digits of a year and may misinterpret "00" as 1900. Many computers canbe reprogrammed simply, but others have embedded microchips that must be replaced � making the process of getting ready more complicated and time-consuming. With New Year's Day falling on a Satur- day, Smith said, school districts that haven't made the necessary repairs � which at cur- rent count could be nearly 5,000 � have ex- tra days to make sure buildings are safe or otherwise ready for students. Officials acknowledge that Y2K-related failures in schools would have little direct im- pact on classwork other than lessons involv- ing information technology. Some failures could shut down heaters, possibly causing frozen pipes to burst, black out school secu- rity cameras, block access to student and pay- roll records or shut off cafeteria freezers. The Fairfax County School system in northern Virginia will bring in security, com- munication, building and technology experts to check its 200 schools on New Year's Day to ensure schools are ready to open on Jan. 3, the scheduled return date from the winter holiday. "This is based on plans we have in place all the time said district spokeswoman Kitty Porterfield, who added that independent ex- perts reviewed the plans. "We had flooding when the hurricane came in, and pieces of those (emergency) plans went into effect. This is not solely uncharted territory With two months to go � a tight dead- line by industry standards � virtually every school surveyed pledged to be ready by Jan. 1. Even the ones that said they weren't ready when the survey was taken earlier this month felt they would be ready. The survey � a follow-up to ones earlier this spring � relied on self-reporting. The margin of error is plus or minus 2.5 percentage points. The best estimate � just 4 percent of school districts say they won't meet the deadline � could still affect 600 school sys- tems. Some people are skeptical, even angry at the delays. Parents are uncertain of school schedules. College students worry about get- ting their grants and loans on time. And teachers are wondering when they would get paid in the event of a breakdown. Despite optimistic predictions for over- all preparations for Y2K, the Clinton admin- istration has warned that schools, some cit- ies, small hospitals and small businesses are foot-dragging on contingency plans for com- puter failures. Many schools � often the largest public buildings in a community � have a unique role as designated shelters and command centers in case of other emergen- cies. John Koskinen, chairman of Clinton's Council on Year 2000 Conversion, said that in the next two months, schools and col- leges need to concentrate'on fixing their systems, making sure they are independently tested and developing contingency plans in case of failure. l � line Z.s netphone Sportsbook , ALL SPORTS WAGERING on-line Horse Wagering $5,$25,$100 Football pools ' $5 - $10,000 straight bets totals teasers pleasers money lines props half-times JLr$50 FREE for NEW players on initial deposits of $200 .

OURVIEW OPINION COLUMN Money donated to churches could be better spent Jeff Buck OPINION WRITER We all live in a very apathetic society. This is mainly due to the advances of our human race, in which we can do more with less time and work. With all these changes one thing has always stayed the samethe prac- tice of religion. More modern, however, is the addi- tion of a church as a place of worship. It is not my intent to knock religions of the present day or of past times, but to evaluate them. The faith that accompanies all religions is a marvel to the hu- man race and its complex behavior. More people go to church then anything else. They give donations to their churches every Sunday and help out with any events that it becomes affiliated with. These are all great things, but could we be doing more? There are many arguments for and against the es- tablishment of churches. First, you have the issue of money. Is it more useful for your money to go to the church's light bills, payments, preacher salaries, water payments, vanbus rentals and other expenses? What if instead of giving money for those types of services you donate it to a non-profit organization? They de- pend on volunteers for all of these services; everything they have is either donated or paid for by the members themselves. As a whole society, it is certain that this would bring us closer to the'greatest good. Well, you ask, where would this leave us to wor- ship? Have you ever thought about getting together with your neighborhood, street, small town or family? As a parent, wouldn't you know your(holy scripture better if you had to teach it to your children? Does this not promote family and community togetherness? Altogether it is easy to see that some solutions are equivalent to churches. However, as a whole, some are better choices. There are many issues that would have to be dealt with, and many changes. If something is good should you leave it alone or strive for something better? It is the same no matter who you worship with, but the money and the help can be better used elsewhere. All that can be asked is that we think about this and evalu- ate how much more could be done with the effort we already put in to it. I know that churches are good things and they do great things, but could they be made more efficient? Could they be made so it's all voluntary? The people in charge of churches are usually the same ones mak- ing money. I know they are not making a killing, but what would you do in their situation? It is up to the people who attend these churches to think about this. After all, if you go to church you are the one paying for it. This writer can be contacted at jbuck@studentmedia.ecu.edu. R.W. Hobbsjr. OPINION WRITER America lost a great presidential candidate last week. Elizabeth Dole has announced that she is no longer seeking the office of president of the United States. Dole was the only female running. As a candidate, Dole brought a lot of excitement Into the political process that hadn't been there be- fore. Thousands of people disen- chanted with the whole political scene were very excited about a fe- male candidate such as of Elizabeth Dple. Fifty percent of her contribu- tors were women. And Dole was re- ceiving a lot of attention from young people, including college stu- dents like you and me. With all of that support this early in the 2000 campaigns, Just imagine how many people would have joined her cam- paign if it had continued into next year. But it was not to be. Dole re- luctantly dropped out of the race, largely due to a lack of money. She cited 70:1 odds against her oppo- nents, namely the "unlimited re- sources" of George W. Bush. Dole said she was used to facing the odds, arid was willing to face 10:1, or even 20:1, but not 70:1. Her reluctant decision to leave the race came only one day after the campaign finance reform legislation of John McCain (another Republican presidential hopeful) was defeated in Congress. But Dole did not exactly complain that money was controlling the election. She simply said she didn't have enough money to effectively run a successful campaign. Other candidates, including John McCain, Pat Buchanan and Gary Bauer all whine about how much money George W. Bush has and how the Republican establish- ment seems to be behind him and is not giving other candidates a chance. Well, George W. Bush has a large following of people from all over America. And the more money a candidate has, the more support he or she has from Americans. But Bush would not be in the money if he were not a good candidate. He is a proven governor of a very large state, part of a respected political family and his message of compas- sionate conservatism brings the party together. Bush is a candidate of optimism, the likes of which we have not seen since Ronald Reagan. The other candidates who are com- plaining about the money issue sim- ply are not as well-rounded as Bush. Buchanan is an extremist and has tried several times to win the presi- dency with his agenda and has failed every time. This time is no dif- ferent. Gary Bauer simply does not have the experience, notoriety or personality of Bush. And, as Eliza- beth Dole said, timing is everything. George W. Bush got an early start in fund-raising for his campaign and was the first to catch the eye of the Republican establishment. To other candidates, I say better luck next time. Or, run for an office other than presidency first. As for Elizabeth Dole, we have not heard the last from her. Nor will she be the last female to run for president. She will certainly be a serious consideration for a vice- presidential running mate. And she may even be able to try again in 2004. Polls have consistently had her second to Bush and ahead of Al Gore. As Dole herself, she has paved the way for whatever woman will run for president and succeed. And that day will come, thanks in part to Elizabeth Dole. This writer can be contacted at rhobbs@studentmedia. ecu.edu. AND IN TODAY'S NEWS EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA WILL RECIEVE EVEN FURTHER GOVERNMENT AID TO ASSIST IN IT'S LATEST DIASTER THE 1999 DOWNTOWN HALLOWEEN CLEAN UP! Every Halloween in downtown Greenville, students from all over NC converge to take part in the year's biggest block party. While we at TEC think the idea of students, faculty and locals celebrating one crazy night together may sound like a good time, in reality, the event's festivities are not all they have been hyped up to be. Try standing in line, squeezed up against thousands of impatient people attempting to get into the same club downtown. Try keeping ahold of your friends who continually wander off into the mass of thousands of partiers. Take in the smells of stale alcohol, smoke and vomit, along with the intensified heat of the crowd and the inevitable fistfights that break out year after year. These are just some of the highlights one has to look forward to on Halloween night. Instead of dealing with the overwhelming numbers, consider some alternative forms of entertainment that can be found easily. Why not check out what's happening elsewhere around town? Halloween is always a big night in Greenville, and the fun is not strictly limited to the downtown area. Gather a group of friends together and throw your own ghoulish costume party, go out trick-or-treating, visit a local haunted house or give Midnight Madness at Mendenhall a look-see. Still, if none of these interest you, keep in mind no one is stopping you from venturing out and seeing what all the fuss is about. All we can sug- gest is that you look out for one another, and be safe. And hey, if you're really craving a good scare this Halloween, downtown may be right up your alley after all. -��i�iiii�iiii -PSCtft LETTER TO THE Don't forget struggling citizens this Halloween Dear ECU Students, Hats off to you! After the unplanned fall break caused by Hurricane Floyd, our campus is back to normal. This recovery would not have been possible without your flexibility, resiliency and spirit. With the semester half over, and a traditional homecoming behind us, we can look for- ward to successfully completing 1999. Your always outstanding public service has been especially noteworthy during the aftermath of the storm. Statistics compiled by the Student Volunteer Program indicate that you volunteered at twice the usual rate during recent weeks. You helped both friends and strangers in every imaginable way, and in doing so you were truly exemplary representatives of East Carolina University. You are aware, of course, that these are extraordi- nary times. Halloween, normally a time for festive cel- ebrations, falls this year while many in our city are still suffering. Law enforcement and public utility person- nel have labored untold hours to make sure that Greenville has remained safe and out of harm's way as much as possible. Many of the students and families who were severely affected by the flood live in our university neighbor- hood. Please remember this as you enjoy Halloween activities in the Greenville community. Please remem- ber also that the university will host Midnight Mad- ness featuring numerous Halloween activities on Sun- day from 9 p.m. until 2 a.m. We look forward to seeing you there. Sincerely, Richard R. Eakin Chancellor, East Carolina University Cliff Webster SGA President, East Carolina University � LETTER TO THE EDITOR Availability of tickets to Pirate Club members unfair Dear Editor, I am extremely disappointed in the handling of the tickets sales for the ECU vs. NC State football game. As an alumni living out of state, I have attended every ECU football game this season. I am so proud of the efforts of Coach Logan and his staff. Not to mention the all-out ef- forts of the ECU players. Going to all the ECU games, in some case has cost me thousands in travel, hotel, etc but the feelings I get when I see the Pirates play brings back memories that are priceless. As ticket day approaches for the State game 1 became more and more excited1 had already booked my suite at the Hilton and my girlfriend and me had requested days off from work months in advance. Problem 1:1 tried to get tickets earlier, but it seems as if the Pirate Club had already requested a large number of tickets. I quote, "money talks and bull" walks as one Pi- rate Club member put it to me. Oh, and get this�As I told my problem to another Pirate Club member, he laughed and said, "we were only suppose to be able to purchase four tickets and I bought twelve Problem 2: As 9 a.m. ap- proached, I predialed my cellular phone and my home phone line to the ECU ticket office. I started hit- ting redial over and over trying to get through, but guess what, no answer, and get this, no busy sig- nal. My phone calls went to the ECU ticket office voice-mail. Well, I di- aled for over 40 minutes with twb phone lines. At one minute for ev- ery connection, you can imagine how much I rang up in long distant charges. Then, finally it happened, a ring, only to hear a message that the tickets were sold out. So why did this happen? Poor planning? Pirate Club influence? I think I deserve an answer (or at least two tickets). How is it that the "ev- eryday Pirate fan" couldn't get tick- ets to this football game? Well I tell you what Pirate fans. You better hope that the Pirates don't continue to win each and every year, or we will be shut out ot purchasing tick- ets, either by the Pirate Club or poor call center management. Disappointed and ticketless, Ryan Lawrence OPINION COLUMN Plan ahead for safe, sober, memorable Halloween Patrick McMahon STAFF WRITER All I can say to the thousands of students who read this column is to be safe. Be safe in day-to-day life, and be safe in existence. But please, if just for me, be safe on Halloween. I know, I know, everybody and their brother is gonna get drunk this weekend and have a massive blowout party that results in numerous arrests, noise violations, underage citations and the always popular three-day hangover, but do this with caution. If you are going to throw a party, make sure you have enough floor space so all those people have some- where to sleep when they pass out, that way they won't be driving drunk. Last year's Halloween celebration in Chapel Hill resulted in a drunk student driving over a drunk pe- destrian, killing the pedestrian. We all know we are better than those damn tar heels, so lets all be good little boys and girls and stay away from fatalities, OK? Lets face it, people are gonna drive, "I'm OK, I prom- ise Don't let them. I'm staying sober on Halloween to look out for my friends, making sure they survive the night, and so they won't have to drive anywhere. I have lost too many friends in the past two years to let some idiot take another person's' life through an Ignorant act like driving drunk. I would even feel re- sponsible if I let them drink so much alcohoUhat they passed out and died. I'm not trying to take a stance of "I'm better than you because I'm staying sober But, when the night is over I will be able to take comfort in the fact that my staying sober might have saved my friends from them- selves, fines, DWIs, tickets and even death. That is a powerful thought. There will always be room for beer, but I would much rather have my friends sitting beside me than a case of Bud Light and a pack of cigarettes. So we come to these easy steps toward a safe Hal- loween: 1. If you're gonna drink on College Hill, use the Drunk Bus to get downtown. That doggone thing has probably saved more lives than we would like to admit. 2. Stay sober. If just one sober person looks out for their friends, then everyone will be much better off. 3. Drink beer. Have a good time. Have a great time. But have a safe time. 4. Wear an outrageous costume so people can see you. Forget that crap about bright clothes at night. I don't know about you, but I will stop much quicker if there is a drunk dressed up as Jesus than I would for one of those damn people dressed up like an M&M. 5. Ignore every word I say. Go ahead. I'll help carry your casket at the funeral. I'd hate for your parents to have to do it. This writer can be contacted at pmcrnahon9studentmedia.ecu.edu. The East Carolinian Jwww.tec.ecu.edu FEATURES Thursday. Oct. 28, 1999 features�studentmedia. ecu. edu .FEATURES BRIEFS Frightening Flicks '��Jmnn" 1975 ?:This Ash story is about a very big, very hungry shark emerged as director Steven Spielberg's first "monster hit. With "Jaws Spielberg proved that he 'could create and sustain feature-level tension and suspense. His confidence kept the creature out of .full view for almost 90 minutes�and still had us on the edge of our seats. The script is from the novel by Peter Benchley, Carl Gottlieb and an uncredited John Milius. Verna Fields' editing is �sensational, as is John Williams' ominous, now legendary score. "Rosemary's Baby" 1968 Mia Farrow's first postPeyton Place" film inaugurated a cycle of horror movies about the evil lurking within the supposedly wholesome American .nuclear family. A year before the Manson killings (which claimed his wife, Sharon Tate) director Roman Polanski drew the audience inexorably into -a worid of witchcraft and Satanism, concealed beneath a benign, neighborly facade. �The Blair Witch Project 1999 Stop right there: Don't read any review of the radical new indie "The Blair Witch Project" at the looming risk of having what might be modern cinema's most nerve-wracking experience ruined for you from the get-go. The film was made on a budget so small one could not even buy a decent new car with it. "Blair Witch" puts your inner child through a scrambling nightmare like no other film has ever done before. More than any movie since "Planet of the Apes Eduardo Sanchez and Daniel Myrick's dime store masterpiece works best on you the less you. Supposedly, some members of the original Sundance audience didn't even know it was fiction. "Curse of the Demon" 1958 This beautifully crafted, extremely effective horror film is one of the best in director Jacques Tourneur's ("Cat People "I Walked With a Zombie") canon of moody thrillers. DanaAndrews plays a psychologist who travels to England to investigate reports of a "black magic" phenomenon. The monsters and brutality are left offscreen and the story is all the more chilling for its restraint. A.genre gem from a director too frequently overlooked. (Also known as "Night of the Demon) "Halloween" 1978 Michael Myers, whose violent insanity may well be the result of demonic possession, escapes from the mental home where he has been incarcerated after murdering his older sister and returns home to kill some more. He stalks and slaughters several babysitters before the survivor learns once and for all that there is indeed a bogeyman. Consummate ; craftsmanship makes a conventional genre story ! . into something special; the film goes easy on the jj: bloodletting, but the subjective camera is relentless 5 and highly effective. 5 "The Omen" 1976 A child born of a jackal and foisted upon the U.S. 6 ambassador to Britain (Gregory Peck) and his 5 unsuspecting wife, wreaks elaborate havoc on all ! those who inhibit his plans to bring about 'Armageddon in this century. This is a groundbreaking big-budget horror movie whose respectable cast, expensive special effects and exceptional production values ultimately compensate for its silliness and lack of conviction. "The Evil Dead" 1983 Clever directorial touches and an imaginative storyline explain the film's cult following, but it's been wildly overpraised. At a remote cabin, some college kids disturb the sleep of the dead, who retaliate by having these cut-ups start cutting each other up. Not-so-grand Guignol and amateurish acting dilute the suspense, except for one astonishing scene in which a girl is stalked through the woods by an unseen evil. Coffee culture gains steam in Greenville Local vendors appeal to students in seach of a decent cup of joe Susan Wright FEATURES EDITOR The first sniff of a great cup of coffee wakes some people up in the morning. Ally McBeal shows her friend how important it is to savor that first taste of her morn- ing cappuccino. Krispy Kreme and Barnes and Noble cafe are two of the more prestigious coffee venders in Greenville, and many people end their hectic days sipping coffee from from mugs carrying these logos. "Krispy Kreme has the best product for coffee in town said Brad Womack, junior. Krispy Kreme has been an institution in Greenville since 1972, and according to store manager Glen Par- ish, the store sells quite a bit of coffee. "We sell about 500 cups of coffee a day on aver- age Parish said. Krispy Kreme sells 100 percent Arabica coffee from South America manufactured by Krispy Kreme, and it is ground one pot at a time. People relax and talk while they indulge in gourmet coffees. (Photo by Emily Richardson) "When we started selling Arabica coffee in 1995, we doubled oir sales Parish said. Another thing that brings people to the store is that they put the cream and sugar into the coffee before you receive it. "We can't tell what type of cream it is in the cof- fee Parish said. It's a Krispy Kreme secret. If you're more interested in a cup of gourmet cof- fee. Barnes and Noble is one place to go in Greenville. "People come here for the reputation said Health Starnes, cafe manager. "There are Starbuck's all over the world "There Is something for everyone because we have more potent coffees, such as the Barnes and Noble blend, and we also have milder versions According to Starnes, people also visit Barnes and Noble for the atmosphere. "People come here to relax and read Starnes said. "The main reason they come in is because it's a clean, positive, smoke-free environment. "Our coffee is special because it has love in it. I've also heard that the service is good from the customers. We know what some of the people want before they ever reach the counter As far as sales go, "pretty much everybody is gofhg to stop here during the week said Starnes. "It is a meeting place for people, they get a cup of coffee so that they can stay awake while they are studying or reading If you want a gourmet coffee drink, Barnes and Noble cafe serves drinks made with Barnes and Noble's and Starbuck's recipes in a relaxing atmosphere, while Krispy Kreme is good for a quick cup made from qual- ity ingredients.

Staff Writer In ECU's history, there have been a variety of ghosts and supernatural beings seen by students and staff. The Special Collections archives located in Joyner Library have a well organized collection of articles relating tales of all the ghosts on campus. "A few of the people who come to the archives are look- ing for information about what they have seen said Blair McPherson, student assistant in the archives at Joyner Library. "Most of the people who come in have heard stories about ghosts in their dorms and want more information Cotten Hall has had its fair share of paranormal sight- ings over the years. Students have told the tales of haunted dorm rooms and mysteriously moving objects. "Over the summer, I was by myself upstairs and no one else was in the building said Cotten Hall resident, Cristina Nieves. "I was looking out a window, and behind me I distinctly saw a man, and when I turned around no one was there There are three tales passed down by students to support the unexplained bumps in the night. The first story pertains to the namesake of the dormito- ry, Sallie Southall Cotten. According to legend, Cotten can be seen wandering around in a white dress, framed by her shimmering gray hair. Mrs. Cotten was a wealthy benefactor who helped begin the Sheppard Memorial Library. Mrs. Cotten was also involved in the politics of ECU. Cotten was part of the state General Assembly that passed legislation to - establish ECU. Carolyn Fulghum, retired dean of women and director of Residence Life and Housing relays the sec- ond scary story. This tale was told in the Oct. 31, 1997 issue of the "Daily Reflector to reporter James V. Haug. The story is of a young lady who went up to a third floor phone booth in Cotten Hall, never to return. Some say that she was somehow sucked into a trap door into the attic. The exact occurrences will be left to your imagination. "People have always said that they could hear her screaming, walking the hallways Fulghum said. Fulghum found the ori- gin of the tale in tele- phone duty. Since indi- vidual rooms did not have phones, residents of the hall were assigned telephone duty. Each student had to take turns answering the phone on their floor, then finding the recipi- ent of the call. "The story that 1 heard was that someone com- mitted suicide on the third floor over grades" says former Cotten Hall resident Katie Tordonato. Different versions of the Cotten Hall ghost's fate exist to add fervor the story. Some of these include the young lady: See GHOST, page 10 Daylight-saving time ends Students gain extra hour of Halloween festivities Jennifer Brown STAFF WRITER This Sunday will be a big day for ECU students for two reasons; it is both Halloween and daylight-saving time. Students will have an extra hour to go trick-or- treating, or anything else their hearts desire. "Daylight-saving time was a device first started in Europe during war time to conserve electricity by mak- ing the evening hours have longer daylight said Henry Ferrell of the history department. It officially begins on at 2 a.m. on the first Sunday in April and ends on the last Sunday in October. This idea was first suggested by Benjamin Franklin in an essay in 1784. Even though the time zones were insti- tuted in the US in 1883, daylight-saving time was not put into effect until April 13, 1966 in the Uniform Act of 1966 by President Lyndon B.Johnson. The Act did not require anyone to participate in the plan, but it stated that if we were going to do it, we should do it uniformly. Originally the plan stated that daylight-saving time was begin to on the last Sunday in April, but President Ronald Reagan amended it in 1986 to start it on the first Sunday in April. There are parts of the US and the world that do not observe daylight-saving time. A few of these are: Guam, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Virgin Islands, the East- em Time Zone portion of Indiana, and Arizona, ex- cluding the Navajo Indian Reservation, which does observe it. The main purpose of daylight-saving time is to con- serve energy. It cuts down on the amount of electricity the nation uses by one percent every day during day- light-saving time. The term is daylight-saving time, not "savings" be- cause technically we are saving daylight and not day- lights. It is also a day that many people take to change the batteries in their smoke detectors. This reminds you twice a year to check it and make sure it is working correctly. Betty Struab, director of Health Promotions, has some tips to avoid getting our systems off balance. "One hour doesn't typically require that much ad- justment, but our bodies have a need for consistency and predictability Struab said. She recommends keeping your diet healthy during this time, and getting plenty of sleep and exercise. The most common complaint regarding daylight- saving time is the difficultly of remembering to change the time on clocks. Another common question is regarding alcohol sales. Most states have a law stating stores cannot sell alcohol after 2 a.m. Well, does that get extended an extra hour in the fall? No, because the bars officially close at 1:59 a.m. and are not affected by the hour fall back. Freshman Summer Smith isn't complaining about daylight-saving time. "That's cool that it falls on Halloween because it gives students an extra hour of fun Smith said. "There's no point in having daylight-saving time anymore because the majority of the people do not farm anymore said Megan Dunbar. No matter how you feel about the issue, it is hap- pening this Sunday at 2 a.m. This writer can be contacted at jbrown@studentmedia. ecu. edu A NOTCH ABOVE THE NORM Amidst all of the paper work and student assign- ments, Dr. Shelia Y.

Varsitybooks.com, and Bigwords.com have sections dedicated to specific schools, with smooth search fea- tures. To allure students to make purchases online most textbook themed Web sites offer a flat shipping rate. Students will also be inundated with offers for low rate credit cards, free travel discounted merchandise for stu- dents only. The lesson to learn is that online book sales can save a students money who finances are already stretched to the limit by parking expenses, tuition, and the blowup chair that you just had to have. The consumer should be wary that customer ser- vice is a phone call, and four-five shipping days away, opposed a walk across campus, or a short drive. Also, bear in mind that they may not have the latest revi- sion needed, and books sent in the mail often are dam- aged in the shipping. If you are willing to do the research you can save money online through book sellers, remember to do your homework, literally and figuratively, check your editions and keep all receipts. Your local book seller is more likely to work with you to make changes, because every book sale is im- portant and returns can be completed with greater ease. Book sales online are also usually completed using a credit card, and the lure of extra money in your pocket could be to tempting, yes, you really needed that match- ing ottoman for your blow-up-chair.

Hauntings of the theater department is very well known, and most people have a ready story to tell. Many of these in- volve something that happened to a friend. "I was working late one night on stage and I heard noises up on the grid that houses the lighting said Xeno Everette of the prop department. "The lights were off, and 1 went up there to turn them on so if any stu- dents were up their they could find their way back down. "When I got up there no one was there, so I came back down, and still did not see anyone, but I still heard the footsteps. They the footsteps) walked towards the ladder, and I heard each step on every rung down to the floor. At the bottom a pause and the steps contin- ued across the floor and out and opened door The theater students also have had a run in with the apparitions that haunt the theater. Several reports name the ghost Ruben, and others point to a professor named Dr. Lucille Charles who worked for the Theater Department from 1946 to 1953. The reports include seeing white figures floating down hallways into an empty room, then upon entering the room it was im- mensely cold. The reports also relay the story of a gentleman that came into the auditorium with his two dogs in his arms. When he entered, the dogs began to whimper, jumped out of his arms, ran around erratically for a few mo- ments and finally ran out of the room. The gentleman insisted that the dogs return to the auditorium with him, but they would not enter again. Another story sees finds children as the specters. "1 .ate one night, several girls were working on a prop up stairs, they came running back frightened out of their minds to the prop room Everette said.

She also is reported to have alerted the sisters dur- ing a garage fire many years ago. She also runs off bad spirits that want to do the sisters harm.

"When we got outside and we looked up, we could see some woman standing clearly in the win- dow, looking down at us The origins of Victoria are mixed. Some say that she was about to be wed when she found out that her lover was cheating on her and killed herself wearing her wedding dress. Another version says that she is the unfaithful wife of Mr. Johnston who killed herself for her infidelities. The brothers of Kappa Sigma also have a story to tell. It seems the Kappa Sigma house located on 10th Street also has a ghost. The records indicate that an unnamed man killed himself by hanging himself on a staircase rail. The death is recorded, but the burial is not. Another strange occurrence in the house includes a woman in a red sweater who shows up from time to time, now colorful folklore tales are told about her. Its seems that a brother once woke up and saw her at the foot of his bed. He promptly jumped up and never went back into the house. Apparitions from the past also haunt other places on campus. In the old Christenbury gym one can hear the sound of a basketball game being played, but no one is there. The Maria D. Graham building that houses the Geology Department is also rumored to haunted by a ghost. The rumor extends to the point of a professor having a seance to try to find out who the specter is, and seemingly achieving this a goal. Clement, Greene and White dormitories also have a few ghosts to contend with. The legend goes that west campus is a former confederate camp, and some- times you can see a soldier or two walking around in full gear. Are the stories told here part of our local folklore, or are they merely an extension of our own thoughts, fears and subconscience? Could it be that there really are ghosts that haunt the rooms of Cotten Hall, and Victoria looks out for the sisters long after her passing? Several people were interviewed during the writing of this article, and many gave looks of earnest belief and fright. The people who relayed their stories often did not want to be mentioned, and did not want to quoted. The cry of "people will think I'm crazy" and "I really don't want to talk about it" resounded from many people. This does not prove that ghost exist, but it does show that many feel they have seen something. The next time you are studying late, or something happens that you can't explain. Don't look away, you might be the next person who doesn't want to tell the story. This writer can be contacted at kbell@studentmedia.ecu.edu Models' eggs sold via Internet CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP)�A fashion photographer, hoping to cash in on would-be parents' wishes for a beautiful baby, is offering the eggs of eight models in an on-line auction set to start Monday. Infertility groups have expressed disgust at the of fer, saying it turns human life into a commodity. But photographer Ron Harris says his offer is a reflection of American society, where beauty can be purchased by the highest bidder. The Web site, www.ronsangels.com, has pictures of eight models offering their eggs for sale. The bids start at $15,000 and can go as high as $150,000. Harris told The New York Times in a story published Saturday that the Web site had already received a serious bid of $42,000. The models receive the full amount offered; bid- ders must pay Harris' organization an additional 20 percent service fee, he said. "It's unethical and it's distasteful Sean Tipton, spokesman for the American Society of Reproductive Medicine, said Saturday. Infertility specialists are increasingly concerned about putting a price tag on human eggs. This spring, for example, a couple advertised that they would pay $50,000 for eggs donated from an athletic student from a top college. Federal law forbids the purchase and sale of human organs, but trafficking in sperm and eggs is legal, infer- tility experts say. Harris is a Malibu, Ca photographer whose work includes fashion photos, television directing for Play- boy and exercise videos. His Web site boasts that the models are "beautiful and healthy" and subject to rigorous health examina- tions. In a letter on the site, Harris describes the egg auction as "Darwin's Natural Selection at its very best He says society's obsession with appearance has made us stronger and healthier, and he pitches the egg auction as a chance for parents to give their children an advantage in society. "Every organism is evolving to its most perfect state Harris writes. "Finding traits that 'repair' your genetic flaws is what we are all about The models could not be reached for comment Sat- urday, but on the Web site, each gives reasons for sell- ing her eggs, ranging from "to not be dependent on a man to "I want to help others Nancy Etcoff, the Cambridge-based author of "Sur- vival of the Prettiest: The Science of Beauty says it's See EGGS, page 11 t��-wtv � � ��� - �- .�f� IRIINVIUI, NC Monday Night Football $4.00 Bud Lt.

Egg donation has been largely an act of altru- ism until now, Tipton said. He said eggs donors typically are paid $2,500 to $5,000 for their time and inconvenience. In addition to the medical community rejected the idea of selling human body parts, eBay, the world's leading Internet auction site, has banned the sale of eggs, sperm and human organs on its site.

Pirates hope to stop Cougar ground game Sanford, Green combine to make Houston rushing attack Stephen Schramm SPORTS EDITOR Coming off of their S2-7 mauling of Tulane, ECU heads to Texas to take on the Houston Cougars. Houston enters the game 4-2 coming off of a bye week. The last time the Cougars took the field, they beat University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill 20-12 in Kenan Stadium. The Cougars held the Tarheels to 39 yards rushing. Meanwhile Houston piled up 2S7 yards on the ground. "Well we have to slow down the running game said Defensive Coordinator Tim Rose. "We can't be in a situation where they can run it down our throats kind of like Southern Miss did. We've got to get better at the run Houston's Ketric Sanford rushed for 157 yards and teammate Mike Green rushed for 130. "We've got to keep Ketric Sanford from hitting any home runs said Steve Logan. "We've got to run the football well Houston averages 201.9 rushing yards a game. With Green and Sanford combining to make a devastating tandem of running backs and an offensive line that returns three starters, the Houston running game is to be feared. "We got to stop the running game said Jeff Kerr. "We've got to shut the running game down. Their pass- ing game is decent, but it's not as complex as other teams. We have to shut their main point of emphasis down. If we don't, they'll be able to run the ball on us Hornets' Coleman charged with DWI Charlotte Hornets forward Derrick Coleman was charged with driving while under the influence early Wednesday after the car he was driving collided with a tractor-trailer, police said. Coleman, team- mate Eldridge Recasner and a third passenger in Coleman's vehicle, Ebony Kimbrough, were injured in the accident at 12:51 a.m. and taken to Carolinas Medical Center, Charlotte-Mecklenburg police spokesman Tom Barry said. The truck driver was unhurt. After being charged with a DWI, Coleman was taken to the medical center, where Recasner also was a patient. Irvin has genetic spinal condition Michael Irvin's return to the Dallas Cowboys from a spinal injury has been clouded by the dis- covery that the wide receiver was born with a spinal condition that increases his risk of further injury. "Mike was bom with a different-looking spine Cow- boys owner Jerry Jones said. "How does that im- pact any decision he might make? To me, I've heard more discussed about what he was bom with than I have about any damage incurred from the spinal injury earlier this month. Yes I am con- cerned Jones said. "They're addressing every- thing. I don't see this as necessarily totally decided by whether or not the swelling goes down. Right now, I don't know if that's the issue Irvin, 33, was unavailable for comment. 4- Investigation of Stewart plane crash begins MINA, S.D. (AP)�Investigators returned today to the site where a jet carrying Payne Stewart nose-dived into a field, taking samples of victims' remains but cau- tioning there would probably be no quick explanation why the plane flew pilotless for 1,400 miles across the country. Five others also were killed. A six-member National Transportation Safety Board team walked through the crash site Monday evening, hours after the Learjet crashed, and returned to the task today. At one point, they thought they had found the cockpit voice recorder, but they were wrong, NTSB Vice Chairman Robert Francis said. The wreckage is "fairly contained Francis said. "It looks the aircraft was pretty much vertical when it hit the ground. The ground is soft, and it went in fairly deep. It's going to be a challenge, with the wreckage and sorting out what's there The investigation will take some time, he said. "Our concern is in making sure we do it property rather than making sure that we do it fast He said investigators were first taking time to figure out how the thousands of pieces of wreckage could be removed from the site without destroying evidence. Some tissue samples from the victims' remains had been removed from the scene. Brad Randall, a special state medical examiner, said they would be tested for substances such as carbon monoxide, but there is no specific test that can be done on samples that would show oxygen deprivation.

The Pirates exploded for 38 points in the second half against Tulane. The outburst should give the Pi- rates some momentum heading into their match-up with the Cougars. "That's going to help us a lot this week said David Garrard. "I think the guys are going to be feeding off of the win. They should start getting comfortable putting up points like that because the rest of the season we should be able to put points up like that Houston defeated the Pirates on Halloween of 1998 in Greenville 34-31. The position of inside linebacker demands much from a football player. To thrive at the position that is the hitchpin of the defense is difficult. Jeff Ken has battled through injuries, provided leadership and has become the backbone of the Pirates defense and one of the greatest inside linebackers in ECU history. "He typifies everything you would want in an AU- American said defensive coordinator Tim Rose. "First of all, he's a great football player�he makes plays. Sec- ondly, he's a great leader. He's a guy that leads by ex- ample, won't let us have a bad practice. He's great at meetings. Thirdly, he's just a hard working guy that inspires by performance. He's in many ways the heart and soul of the 1999 Pirate defense team in tackles (file photo). Kerr came to ECU in 1995. After being red-shirted, ; he suffered a season-ending injury in the first game of ! the 1996 campaign. He started all 11 games in 1997 � and led the squad in tackles. Last season he led the ; Pirates in tackles with 115, despite missing three games � due to a foot injury. "When he came here, he was a 190 pounder, he weighs 240 now said Steve Logan. "He's gone from a boy to a man in every respect. He's one of the best I football players I've ever had the opportunity to coach ; Senior Captains j lead Pirates Kaess, Walter provide spark Murray Pool STAFF WRITER The ECU women's volleyball team has been strug-j gling this season with a 7 and 10 record. The team has I suffered many heart aches and recently had their coach, j Kim Walker resign. Through all the anguish, seniorj captains Shannon Kaess and Christie Walter have still j managed to make a positive impact on the team. Christie Walter, a native of East Bethany N.Y who( transferred here as a junior feels the team is coming! more together. "We have had a lot of obstacles to overcome, but Ij think the team attitude is getting better and I hope toi finish with a better record" Walter said. Walter, defensive specialist, earned the team's Iron, Pirate award last season. She also feels the team is bet- ter than they are showing and feels that they can bej competitive in the conference. "I would like to finish in the top three in the CAAj Conference Championship and of course to beat our, rival North Carolina State" Walter said. Shannon Kaess, a native of Andover, Minn is con-J sidered one of the best all-around players on the team.j Kaess, who has had to overcome shoulder surgery fromi her freshman year, has prospered well during the rest! of her time on the team. "We have grown as a team and I think it shows ourj strength in being able to get through this and finishr the season. Even though we do show a lot of strengths,) we could be a little bit more consistent than we are Kaess said. Kaess has strong goals for the team and feels every-J one can step it up a notch. "It is all going to come down to the CAA tournai ment and our record right now does not show the abil-j ity that we have" said Kaess. Both Walter and Kaess have excelled on the court as well as in the classroom. They are both Pirate lettei winners and are on the Dean's List.

SANTA CLARA, Calif.�Steve Young appears headed for the in- jured reserve list because of persis- tent post-concussion symptoms, a move that would finish his season and could signal the end of his ca- reer. No formal decision has been made yet, but the agent for the San Francisco 49ers quarterback said Tuesday he doesn't intend to let Young play again this year, and ap- parently the team and Young's doc- tors feel the same way. "I'm determined he not risk any- thing more this year said Leigh Steinberg in an interview with San Francisco's KCBS radio. "He's prob- ably going to end up on injured re- serve. This is a football injury. He was hurt on the field and that's where those players go. But the news is not encouraging. It's not real cheery.

(AP)�Dominik Hasek's long goodbye was supposed to be filled with packed houses, shutouts and accolades. Reality has been far different: soft goals, benchings and plenty of questions. And nobody seems to know why it has all gone wrong for Hasek and the Buffalo Sabres. "I feel very good in the prac- tices said Hasek, a two-time league MVP and the best goaltender five of the last six seasons. "I work hard and feel confident. The game is a little bit different Hasek, the 1998 Olympic gold medalist, plans to retire after the season and return to his native Czech Republic. He wants to go out a winner, but has yet to win this season. 'Of course, it's frustrating said Hasek (0-4-1). "I still love to play but I haven't won a game yet, and it's very frustrating Hasek has been benche'd twice and pulled twice. He's not among the NHL's statistical leaders. He's not even the league's top Dom this sea- son. That honor belongs to Anaheim's Dominic Roussel. But Hasek is not the only Buf- falo player who seems to have re- tired early. The Sabres look nothing like the team that appeared in the Stanley Cup Finals. They went their first seven games without a win, tying a team record, and are 1-6-2 going into Wednesday's game against Tampa Bay. Nobody on the team blames Hasek, even though he has struggled to compile a modest 3.20 goals-against average and .907 save percentage. Last year's numbers in those two categories, 1.87 and .937, were the best of Hasek's career de- spite a groin injury. Hasek had offseason surgery in Germany and says he feels good. Now, once unthinkable questions keep coming. Who will start the next game? Hasek is no longer a given. "I'm not announcing my start- ing goaltender for Wednesday Sa- bres coach Lindy Ruff said. Hasek, who watched 22-year-old Martin Biron record the team's first win with a 7-3 victory over Caro- lina on Friday, says goalies always live with insecurity, no matter how successful they have been. "The situation is different every year Hasek said. "There is always pressure on the goalies, and if you don't play well three, four, five games, they always start question- ing you. "It's nothing unusual, and some- thing the goalie has to deal with. All I want is to play and prove that I can play again The Sabres have played poorly with Hasek in net and with him on the bench. When they have played well, bad luck has dogged them. Buffalo was tied by Phoenix in the final seconds by a pinball of a shot that deflected off defenseman Alexei Zhitnik's skate and scurried underneath Hasek's glove. Then there was Saturday's 4-0 loss to Ottawa. The Sabres spent an hour and a half looking at video of that gruesome performance, in which they were outshot 30-9 in the first two periods. "We had some players that re- peatedly made the same mistakes Ruff said. "And it wasn't just one player. You couldn't just pick out one or two and bench them. It was an effort where every line made the same mistakes and turned the puck over The Sabres barely resembled the Buffalo team that swept Ottawa from the playoffs last season. "The reason we beat them last year in the playoffs was we had a cohesive five-man unit Ruff said. "We're trying to get back to that style that made us successful Getting back won't be easy, no matter how well Hasek plays. "We don't deserve days off, we don't deserve easy practices, and we're not going to get them for- ward Dixon Ward said. e-Opening Sat.

"I think he'll be able to clear some things up, be a little more de- finitive coach Steve Mariucci said. "Is anything drastic going to hap- pen? No ESPN The Magazine's John Clayton reports that Leigh Steinberg said Young will not announce his retirement Wednesday and does not intend to retire this season. If Young were to retire before June 1, he would lose money on his contract and the 49ers would take a $5 mil- lion hit to their salary cap. While Dr. Steinberg's opinion hasn't been disclosed, Young has conceded the report was "discour- aging" and his agent has said that the initial medical opinion has been reaffirmed in consultations with other specialists. Young continues to speak with some of his contemporaries who were forced out of the game by re- peated concussions, including Al Toon and Merrill Hoge. He's also gathering more medical advice and might see another specialist this week. But Mariucci and general manager Bill Walsh have both said they would give greatest weight to Dr. Steinberg's conclusions and they are in no hurry to see Young back on the field. The concern with Young is he could be at risk for permanent brain damage from another concussion. Mariucci said Monday that the team, which has a bye this week, hopes to resolve Young's status in the next week or two and said in- jured reserve was a possibility. It would allow Young an extended period away from football while not totally shutting the door on his eventual return. Though Young has not received medical clearance to play and has no real hope of getting it any time soon, he remains optimistic that his concussion symptoms will eventu- ally clear, leaving at least a possibil- ity he could return next season. Leigh Steinberg said there would be no decision or announcement on the possibility of Young's retirement until after the season but added that Young also will abide by the final medical consensus. "Nothing is going to happen in the way of retirement this season Leigh Steinberg said. "He will come to the right decision but this will take a little time Young continues to feel a strong sense of responsibility to the team, especially now that it's struggling without him, and wouldn't think of leaving in the middle of the season. By going on injured reserve, though, he could stick around and get treatment while remaining with the team as a locker room and side- line presence along with helping advise his replacement, Jeff Garcia. Minnesota banned from postseason want people to know there will be no post-season play Gardebring told the Saint Paul Pioneer Press in a story posted in the paper's online edition. Gardebring did not elaborate to the Pioneer Press on how long the ban on post-season play would last, and she did not return a call from The Associated Press. An investigation into the men's basketball program began in March after former tutor Jan Gangelhoff claimed she did more than 400 pieces of course work for at least 20 basketball players from 1993 to 1998. The investigation has since wid- ened to include accusations of im- proper payments and travel irregu- larities, and alleged sexual and other misconduct in the men's athletics department. The university still faces possible penalties from the NCAA, which intends to complete its own inves- tigation of the men's basketball pro- gram sometime next spring. NCAA spokeswoman Jane Jankowski said the organization would not comment specifically on whatever sanctions Yudof an- nounces. But she said it is appropri- ate and common for embattled schools to come up with their own sanctions. "Universities do frequently hand down their own penalties, and our (investigating) committee con- siders that and can adopt those sanctions, as well as add other pen- alties she said. Yudof hinted in June that the university probably would impose its own sanctions.

He said the program also could lose a couple of scholarships. Coach Clem Haskins resigned under pressure in June and ac- cepted a1.5 million buyout of his contract. He has said he had no knowledge of any academic cheat- ing in the basketball program. Dan Monson of Gonzaga Uni- versity was hired to replace Haskins. The NCAA holds a 64-team tournament at the end of every regular season to determine a na- tional champion. The National In- vitation Tournament is held for 32 teams that don't qualify for the NCAA tournament. Commision mulls fining Tyson RENO, Nevada (AP)�One mem- ber of the Nevada Athletic Commis- sion thinks the panel should take a tough stand and fine Mike Tyson for his punch after the bell in Las Ve- gas on Saturday night. "I would be in favor of some kind of fine based on what I saw and how the fight took place�a fine and a strong letter to Tyson and his ad- visers that this won't be tolerated said commissioner Luther Mack, Monday. "He got $8.7 million. I don't have a number in mind for a fine). It has to be a sum that he knows we're serious. We have to fhake sure we protect the integrity of boxing. We have to take a strong stand Mack, a Reno businessman, said referee Richard Steele was right to declare the fight no contest when Tyson floored Orlin Norris with a punch after the bell ending the first round. Norris injured a knee falling to the canvas and could not con- tinue. The ruling was made after a consultation among Steele, ringside physician Dr. Flip Homansky and commission members. Steele also called the punch an accidental foul, and said it was why Tyson was not disqualified. His li- cense was revoked for about 14 months and he was fined $3 mil- lion after he bit Evander Holyfield's ears in the third round June 28, 1997. The commission released Norris's purse, but it withheld Tyson's $8.7 million share until its hearing Friday. Because of a mana- gerial cut, a tax lien and legal ac- tion, Norris was only paid a little more than $200,000. Another member of the five- man commission, Glenn Carano of Reno said he won't make up his mind about what course of action should be taken until the matter is brought up in public.

He also was part of the team that helped the United States stage a historic come- back to beat Europe last month for the Ryder Cup. Stewart and his wife have two children, Chelsea, 13, and Aaron, 10. "He's an irreplaceable guy fel- low golfer Duffy Waldorf said. "I think of Payne Stewart and there's a guy that's going to be like Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer, a guy you want around all those years Also killed were Stewart's agents, Robert Fraley and Van Ardan, and the two pilots, Michael Kling, 43, and Stephanie Bellegarrigue, 27. Francis said officials believed a sixth person also died. The family of Bruce Borland, 40, one of Nicklaus' golf course designers, was sure he was on board, said Scott Tolley, a spokesman for Nicklaus' Golden Bear International Inc. Borland's wife, Kate, said she con- tacted the private et terminal Mon- day and spoke to an employee who confirmed her husband Intended to get on the plane.

Courier also paid tribute to Payne Stewart, the golfer who died in an airplane accident Monday and with whom Courier was acquainted. Stewart was on the U.S. Ryder Cup team. "I'm very saddened for the loss, not only for Payne's family, but also for his agents and family. It's a tragedy when something like that happens Courier said. "It just touches us all a little bit more when it's some- one that we know or know of. I guess Payne went out on one of his highest years ever. But none of that would be worth missing the time he's going to miss with his family Courier said he would like to be a part of the U.S. Davis Cup team and that he had spoken to new cap- tain John McEnroe about it. "Hopefully, if I play well enough, I'll earn my spot on the team he said. Naming McEnroe as captain will help restore some publicity for the Davis Cup in the United States, Cou- rier said. Seventh-seeded Nicolas Kiefer had to quit when he twisted his left ankle in the first set against Andrei Pavel in a second-round match. And Magnus Larsson dropped out with a back injury, allowing fifth-seeded Greg Rusedski to ad- vance to the third round. Three players have been forced to drop out of the tournament with injuries. , "I would have rather liked to play a math be- cause it's always good to get into a tournament and at least try to win a match Rusedski said. Kiefer was serving for the set at 5-3 when he slipped on the carpet surface. His ankle heavily taped, Kiefer played three more games and lost them all before giving up. He suffered partially torn ligaments. Kiefer is one of the players trying to qualify for the season-end- ing ATP Tour World Championship in Hanover next month that brings together the top eight players of the year. He said he would miss next week's big tour- nament in Paris. Another seeded player moved into the third round when No. 13 Thomas Enqvist beat Michael Chang 6-4, 6-2. Apart from Pete Sampras, Patrick Rafter and Carlos Moya, who are injured, all other top ranked players are playing the Stuttgart tournament, one of the so-called Super 9 series.

The Montgomery Gl Bill 2. Student loan repayment 3. Part-time income The Army Reserve Alternate Training Program is a smart way to pay for college. First, if you qualify, the Mont- gomery Gl Bill can provide you with up to S7.124 for current college ex- penses or approved votech training. Second, if you have�or obtain�a qualified student loan not in default, you may get it paid off at the rate of 15 per year or S500, whichever is greater, up to a maximum of $10,000. Selected military skills can double that maximum. Third, you can earn part-time money in college, and here's how it works: One summer you take Basic Training, and the next summer you receive skill training at an Army school. You'll earn over S1.500 for Basic and even more for skill training. Then you'll attend monthly meetings at an Army Reserve unit near your college, usually one weekend a month plus two weeks a year. You'll be paid over $107 a weekend to start. It's worth thinking about. Give us a call: 756-9695 MAIL YOU CAM �!? ARMY RESERVE www.qoan . �"� . TEST PREPARATION: Tuesday at 3:30, Nov. 2.

Do not accept open drinks from people you don't know and do not leave your drink unattended. Midnight Madness Long ago on a dark and stormy night, a sinister gang of witches congre- gated on the campus of East Carolina University to cook-up a cauldron full of haunting excitement. These creatures conjured up a plan to attract tons of unsuspecting students to an elaborate Halloween bash loaded with free food, games, and great prizes. OK, OK, so it wasn't so long ago, the night was dark but not really stormy, and there were no witches. It was 1991 and the Division of Student Life Major Events Committee decided to throw a major party at ECU for Halloween. This bash, better known as Midnight Madness, has become an annu- al event, and it keeps getting better each year. Midnight Madness 1999 will be held on Sunday, October 31 from 9:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. in Mendenhall Student Center. This year's festivities will include the all new Illusion N' Fusion, a fast-paced virtual reality that is sure to get your body movin the ever-popular video karaoke, in which you can be the star you have always dreamed of and take the video home to prove it; open glow-bowling and billiards; BINGO; a delectable Witches' Brew concocted of slimy gook and great prizes, but you have to get down and dirty for the good stuff; a horrorflick in Hendrix and a horror picture show in the Social Room - The Rocky Horror Picture Show to be exact with all the props provided (note: outside props will not be allowed); fortune tellers and a psychic hotline to fore- cast your future; a costume contest with fabulous cash prizes; the newly named Club Mystique featuring your favorite DJ, J Arthur; and last but certainly not least, the monstrous breakfast buffet. And the best thing about this midnight celebration is that it is all FREE All you need to do to take part in this spooktacular Halloween bash is show your valid ECU One Card at the door. You may bring a guest (high school age or older), but you must obtain a guest pass prior to the event. Guest passes will be available October 25-29 at the Central Ticket Office in Mendenhall Student Center from 8:30 a.m - 6:00 p.m. and at the Todd Dining Hall Meal Plan Office from 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. On Saturday and Sunday, passes will be available from 9:00 a.m. - 10:00p.m. at the Student Recreation Center.

Video Review NOTIFY YOUR NEXT OF KIN IT'S AIM! -young Frankenstein-is a shocker "Fight club" is a kick in the gut Emily Richardson StaffWriter As a child, I remember yearning to belong to something. Like most chil- dren, I felt the need for acceptance. The simple solution at that time was to build my own group, or dub, a secret society with privileged mem- bers. 1 called it die Tree Climbers. Tyler Durden (played by Brad Pitt) and Jack (played by Edward Norton), as adults still feel this need for accep- tance, which forms the plot basis for "Fight dub Their chance meeting on an air- plane during one of Jack's business trips leads them to become more than just "single serving friends Through Tyler, Jack is able to come clean from his Martha Stewart-induced haze and break free from the corporate American existence. 1 think we all need friends like Tyler. For the record, I am not encourag- ing the duplication of Tyler's methods to induce this metamorphosis. Meatloaf, who plays Big Bob Paulson, and Helena Bonham Carter, (who I at first thought was Madonna), have supporting roles in this film as well. ack and Bob are partnered up in a support group for test icular cancer. If nothing else you have to see the breasts on Meatloaf; the scenes give new meaning to his song "I won't do that" Jack joins this group, among other support groups, at his doctor's sly sug- gestion. Maria (Helena Bonham Carter) joins the same groups for her own personal reasons, adding a cer- tain tension to the scene. Jack finds himself jerked into a bru- tal sub-culture when he forms a little group run with Durden himself. "Fight Qub" was directed by David Rncher ("Seven" and "The Game"). That should throw you a red flag as to what to expect from this movie. Spend the $6.50 and go see the movie; it was my boyfriend's money well spent If you still have any doubts and want to sneak a peak, check out the official Web site. I will warn you, much like the movie, if s not your typ- ical Internet site. It's even equipped for virtual fighting.

Edwards StaffWriter I was trying to think of a pithy phrase that would best describe my opinion of the Mel Brooks film "Young Frankenstein It would have to be something that could wind up on the back of a video box, or in real- ly big print on a TV ad (with my name in really tiny print right under it). It would be something that gets me on the Hollywood junket list. Let me lay this one on you: Young Frankenstein so good it's scary Anyway, as I attempt to create a good one-liner, maybe 1 should actually review the movie. As the movie opens, Professor Frederick Frankenstein (Gene Wilder), grandson of the original mad scientist, is teaching classes in the US. But this Frankenstein wants nothing to do with his grandpa's legacy. He has even changed the pronunciation of his last name to" Fron kens teen At one point, while giving a lecture, Frederick openly denounces the original baron's experiments as "utter crap Still, Frederick can't resist going to Transylvania after being summoned for the reading of his grandfather's will. Frederick is assisted by Igor (Marty Feldman), grandson of Igor, who has also taken to pronouncing his name as "Eye-gor Inga (Teri Garr), is the, er, buxom young aide. It isn't long before Fred becomes caught up in his family legacy. Upon discovering his grandfa- ther's secret journal detailing experiments with artificial life, Frederick yells out with an aston- ished cry: "IT COULD WORK (Cue thunder crash). He quickly puts those experiments to the test Frederick does create a human, but it does not come to life. This sends Frederick into a state of I depression. Hoping to cheer him I up, Igor displays his astounding g wit Igor: It's times like this that I f remember what my old dad used ij to say I Frederick: What was that? Igor: What the hell are you doing in the bathroom all day and night? Why don't you get out of there and give someone else a chance?" Eventually, the creation does come to life. But he is not quite what Fred expected. It seems that Igor used the wrong brain: Frankenstein: Would you mind See Frankenstein, continued on page 7 IT'S A GRAVEYARD SMASH 2Thurstfay.tarjt�28,1999 Midnight Madness sinks its claws into Mendenhall Robbie Schwartz StaffWriter Midnight Madness The time for fright is upon us. And this year, "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" is part of the terror. As students dig around trying to piece together a costume and search for the largest party, creatures of the night will be seen entering Mendenhall for Midnight Madness. This party has been held every year for almost a decade and the festivities are always ghoulishly fun. This year's fright night festivities include for the first time a showing of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" and have brought back from the dead a virtual reality experience called "Illusion and Fusion This hair-raising event is planned, as always, for Halloween night and is sponsored by the Mendenhall Student Center and the Division of Student Life. Also included in this scary experi- ence is the ever-popular video karaoke, so you can record and take home a video of you singing your favorite hits. "Everybody dresses up and has a good time said Heather Marshall, who volunteered last year. "You would be surprised how many people can cram into that Video Karaoke room There are over 10 different blood- curdling activities to choose from starting at 9 p.m. and culminating in a gruesome costume contest where cash prizes are awarded. Have your future told by a fortune teller or get an anonymous reading from the Psychic Hotline. You can stop by the Qub Mystique to dance the time away, and there is a free breakfast buffet in the dining hall to satisfy those late-night munchies. But the highlight of this horrific year is the showing of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show which comes complete with its own freakish prop kit so fans need not bring their own. Dress as your favorite character from this clas- sic movie and enter in the "Rocky Horror" category of the costume con- test There are only 250 tickets to see the showing and tickets are only offered during Midnight Madness from 11 p.m. to midnight "I was so mad when I missed Midnight Madness last year because I was out of town said Katie Carney, senior. "But it has been one of the coolest things I've done since I've been here Brought to life in the evil laborato- ries of Dean of Students Ron Speier and the staff of the Division of Student Life as a horrific alternative to the downtown scene, this creepy creation has grown to become one of the most successful events on national campus- es today. Midnight Madness is entirely staff-driven and sponsored.

After a summer tour with the Allman Brothers, the 20-year-old Trucks is back on the road with his own band. See them at The Attic Oct. 30. Tin aVywmkl artist is on tour with his band FH: You're coming to The Attic Oct 30.1 heard that you played there before. DT: It's been a long time. FH: Are you excited about the show? DT: Yeah, this whole run I'm excited about. I'm excited to be back in the area. I'm excited about how the show's gonna go. The whole tour's been good so for. FH: Do you know how rowdy the crowd gets around Halloween down there? DT: (Laughs) I'm looking forward to seeing it FH: OK, just take care of yourself. I imagine you've had some pretty wild experiences with the Allman Brothers. Does anyone in particular stand out as the most funny I or interesting to you? DT: I don't M think there's one. s It was an amaz- ing trip, though. Everyone was in high spirits. FH: Now that the summer is over, are you experienc- ing a letdown after being on tour with theAllmans? DT: Actually, I was excited to get back with my guys and play more music so it was actually a step up, or rather a step sideways. FH: You've got more time for your own band now. What are your plans? DT: We just finished an album last I week, so we're gonna stay on the road until theAllmans start again in March. FH: I was just going to mention the other album you've got following up Out of the Madness. And it's coming out this spring? DT: That's the plan. FH: What will it be like? DT: I don't know. We just went in and recorded about 12 tracks. We're going to have a few guests on it. FH: What kind of guests? DT: We're thinking about a few vocalists. FH: Anybody that we know? DT: Maybe FH: Really? OK, not gonna tell me yet? Whafs the album going to be called? DT: We have a few working tides, but we're not sure yet. We always wait 'til the last second. That's the last thing we do. FH: Do you see yourself on tour indefinitely? DT: Definitely. FH: What is it about being on tour that's so exciting?

Hell Yeah THE MAYFLIES USA Caleb Rose Assistant Fountainhead Editor When you go to a club to see a live band, the music that is played through the PA sys- tem is usually a harbinger of what it to come. Last Thursday at The Artk the scene of about 100 people singing along to a George Michael cover song (Limp Bizkit version). Needless to say I was scared. Here we were waiting to witness two superb pop acts and to gear us up for the show was Limp Bizkit-musk to rape by. So I receive this CD in the mail the other day with some pressthe band is called The Mayflies USA .at first I wrote them of as another band with a country attached to their name (a.k.a. The Chariatans UK. After hearing their disc, my atti- tude toward the band had done a com- plete 360. The Mayflies USA create a brand of pop music with searing vocal The Mayflies USA showed 'em how to rock. harmonies and catchy lyrics. It seems appropriate to add USA to the band name because their style of pop is too good to have originated in this country. The band is currently touring with The Connells to support their Yep Roc Records debut Summertown. Upon arriving at The Attic, my anxiousness arose because the only information I had on this band was a photo, some press consisting of concert reviews, and a promo CD with some damn fine music on it After Fred Durst and George Michael had finished wooing the unanticipated crowd, The Mayflies USA took the stage. These four mop- topped lads (obligatory Beatles refer- ence) opened up the show wreaking havoc on the crowd, armed with exploding feedback from their guitars. The brunt of their set was mostly new material that they said would make up the next record sched- uled for a summer release. When the fourth song was up to bat, Adam, the bassist introduced the band and pre- pared the next song by saying "we have an album out there that you can get in the back, but if you already have it, this would be your favorite song on it with which the band broke into "The Apple a dirty but blissful guitar-driven snap crackle pop tune sporting the finest harmony vocals since Teenage Fandub, a band whom The Mayflies USA have been compared to in the past They continued rocking their hearts out despite an un- enthused crowd, belting through other album tradcs"Aridrand"NYC before dosing with the ballistic rocker "Down With Peter Green" - a song that would definitely bring a smile to any See Mayflies USA. continued on page 6 CD Review IN REVERSE DOES JUST THAT Matthew Sweet goes back to the basks Ryan Kennemur StaffWriter 4 12 Ryans out of 5 Ryans Redemption, though sometimes unaccomplished, is such a huge part of the musk business. That is why so many people have been waiting for the new Matthew Sweet disc to hit the shelves, following tip on the dismal failure of his previous effort (or lack there of), Blue Sky on Mars. Honestly, that CD (all thir- ty-odd minutes of it) was like a short trip to Hell in a metal doom. It did for the musk business what coffee does for a heroin addict. The reason I say this is because I know what Matthew Sweet is capable of. His masterpiece, 1991's Girlfriend, was a revelation in pop music. Grunge was just getting around, but he opted to do peppy pop songs about love and war, disregarding the genre where the real money was. But that was then, and this is now. I'm very pleased to report that his new album, In Reverse, means just what it says. The new album is taking that proverbial step backward to make the step forward towards musical integrity, lust like his albums before Blue Sky on Mars, he resorts to soaring ballads and flat out rock songs with unflinching hooks and guitars that are seconds from jimmying the padlock open. The disc comes out swinging with "Millennium Blues which exhibits Sweet's considerable guitarvocal talents. but also has a title that will give us something worthwhile to look back on from this year, much more so than that pansy boy group. This is followed by the nostalgic "If Time Permits whkh is about the uni- versal theme of regret and how some- times you want to fix things in your life, but there's just not enough hours in the day. The hits just keep on coming from there on out. Sweet has the uncanny ability to fuse songs together in succes- sion, even from ballads to rockers. He is an uncompromising (save for the afore- mentioned Blue Sky on Mars) musical force to be reckoned with, him being a multi-instrumentalist and possessing one of the most recognizable voices in the rock and roll universe. And as many of the songs share a similar theme, Sweet breaks away and answers a few questions for his fans in "VWite Your Own Song" This sample lyric should explain suc- cinctly. "Why don't you write your own songif mine doesn't do it for youyou might get it all wrongor your might cre- ate the hit you wish I'd write for you because I haven't been able to do what you need Indeed, fans spoke out about the last album, and Sweet was all ears. And it seemed he was none to happy by their comments. But it seems that he will be the one who gets the last laugh, leaving us to sit back and kick ourselves for counting him out. In the end, In Reverse gets my bid for album of the year, if for no other reason but that so many fair weather fans have to eat crow.

The question is: are you ready for it? Where else can one expe- rience the craziness that is synony- mous with this annual event but on fifth Street, in our own little town of Greenville? In recent years, the madness has involved girls stripping on light posts and out-of-control parties. Ironically, these are welcome changes in compar- ison to the problems of the past "Overall, the event is only out of con- trol when the people who drink exces- sively bother the people who go to just have a good time said Terri Fleming, junior. Amazingly, there is quite a history behind the evolution of the celebration that many people compare to a smaller version of Mardi Gras. "People come from all over and from aU different colleges to party with us said Mike Mercer, a sophomore who believes this is the reason the celebra- 6 Thursday, October 28,1999 tion is so unique. Though fun, it hasn't been credited with being entirely safe in years past. In fact, a number of serious offenses have taken place along with violent crimes that, for a long period of time, made the event infamous for being "unsafe and unruly' Take for example the case of Richard Thronelle, a state Alcohol Enforcement Agent who, during Halloween 1988, had a run-in with an alcohol-influ- enced individual. While patrolling the four-block area of downtown, Thronelle was victim to a hit-and-run that dragged him nearly 50 feet, leav- ing him with not only a broken toe but also a hairline fracture in his ankle. Sadly, police officials were not the only ones injured by the rowdy crowd; other students were subject to forms of brutality as well. Unfortunately, those that chose to wear costumes, in some circumstances, intentionally made efforts to inflict pain on others. Consider the antics of one party- goer who dressed as a golfer and swung his clubs around in an attempt to hit others, or yet another who dressed as "The Angel of DeanTand tossed a sickle about the crowd, according to past articles from The Daily Reflector. This 1988 riot, with its 140 citations and over 20 injuries, actually led to the cancellation of downtown Halloween events for the following two years, due to the amount of violence and lack of respect that had become characteristic of the festivities. Then, in 1992, bars and downtown entertainment opened once again with a number of new restrictions and reg- ulations. Bar owners ran neither cos- tume contests nor drink specials, in part to discourage excessive drinking. Glass bottles were replaced with plastic cups and aluminum cans to prevent littering in gutters and overall brutali- ty. Law officers from other precincts were also brought in to assist patrolling during the night while spe- cial efforts were made to restrict underage drinking. Since then, the authorities, local offi- cials, bar owners and faculty members of ECU have continued to try to ensure students have a fun but safe night. Although the streets are more carefully monitored and bar owners now have more limitations, Halloween is still a truly spectacular event "You can barely walk said sopho- more Bill Hoffman of the event's atten- dance. "Literally, there are people beside you, next to you, in front of you. You are surrounded by all different kinds of people With an estimated 10,000 partici- pants a year, Halloween downtown is definitely a huge event, especially for bar owners who are ecstatic the event is no longer dosed. Truthfully, it is great there exists so much enthusiasm and excitement for Halloween, yet the night still has the potential for great danger. Drinking and driving are definitely not needed, fighting someone you don't even know is absolutely ridiculous and acting stu- pid is just a reflection upon yourself.

After the set, the band raced to the bar where I caught up with them for some post-concert diit chat I asked Matt, the guitarist what his opinion was to the comparisons to Teenage Fandub, Big Star, and Superdrag, to which his reply was "I think we are pretty much just the American version of Teenage Fandub ' WeU, Matt, I disagree because The Mayflies USA would have buried the Bandwagonesque group by at least Thirteen places in any musical Grand Prix on this particular night. After the band forced me to have a shot with them, we parted ways to go check out The Connells set I apologize to the many Connells fans out there reading this, but in my humble opinion, The Mayflies USA deserve the credit and recognition this time. I am sure Elvis Costello, I mean Doug MacMillian, and the remaining Connells will understand. As for The Mayflies USA, the future is open wide so long as they continue to produce their own searing pop. The best way to sum up this band in a sentence is by quoting the Yep Roc biography which states: "The Mayflies USA manage to prove that pop rock can be pretty and still pack a hell of a punch Thanks for the shot fellas This writer ran be contacted at crose9studentmtdia.ern.edu WWW.TEC.ECU.EDU 0 SHAKE A LEG!

Miccah Smith Founlainhead Editor Join one of the Southeast's most accomplished Swing instructors Saturday for a day of lessons followed by a fun Halloween-costumed Swing dance. Richard Badu, who studied under Frankie Manning, also known as the "King of Lindy will be teaching three workshops at the Willis Building on First and Reade streets, starting at 1 p.m. with a beginner Lindy Hop lesson, a beginner level 2 Lindy Hop lesson at 2:30 p.m. and a class for intermediate to advanced East Coast swingers at 4 p.m. "Badu, more than any other person in North Carolina, is responsible for the Swing revival in North Carolina. He was the one who started it, and it just spread from there said Rev. Scott Wilkinson of the Methodist Student Center, which will sponsor the event Students of all experience levels, even those who have never danced before, can have a good time at at least one of the lessons, including the free beginner East Coast lesson at 7:15 p.m. before the dance at 8:15 p.m. All other lessons are $5 per session or $10 for all three, and are available at the door. "Swing is big everywhere, and the Lindy lessons I teach at Duke are very popular said Badu, who has also taught Julia Roberts how to Swing, choreographed and performed in sev- eral regional and international Swing events and helped found the Triangle Swing Society. Like Manning, Badu's instruction focuses on more than the moves, since Swing dancing is a "miniature romance His advice to beginning dancers is simple. "Listen to the musicThe saidThe whole idea of dancing with a partner is two people communicating non-ver- bally in relationship to music If people concentrate too much on just putting one move after the other, it's like saying a lot of words that have no relationship (jam to Undy with Richard Badu Saturday to each other or the conversation at hand Even if you've never danced a step, come out this Saturday to the Halloween dance, and take a few lessons in romance from the best instructor around.

The film is shot entirely in black and white to give it the fed of a 1930s Universal monster movie, where the old style of fade-ins and fade-outs are used between scenes. Evensomeofthe"lab equipment" from the original 1931 version of "Frankenstein" is used. "Young Frankenstein" is a riotous spoof of classic monster movies that manages to skewer the genre and stay faithful to it at the same time. The movie is full of sharp writing, comical characters and even a cheesy old- school song-and-dance routine. It also has more sex jokes than a PG-rated movie should be allowed to have.
