Staff Writkr A national poll shows Americans strongly sup- port federal aid to college students, yet that aid may soon decrease due to bud- get cuts. The chance of losing financial aid has prompt- ed several organizations to fight Congress and keep aid alive and stronger than ever. About 60 orga- nizations across the coun- try have formed the Student Aid Alliance (SAA), their motto is "Invest in futures. Theirs and ours According to Dr. Richard Ringeisen, vice chancellor for academic affairs, ECU strongly supports SAA. "We've had successes and downfalls Ringeisen said. "Students have lob- bied and aid is on the raise. Even though efforts have brought about small changes, I think the results need to be better According to SAA, there are many investments society can choose from to make the future more secure. But one invest- ment in particular gives back high returns: college education. The organiza- tion states that giving stu- dents the chance for a col- lege education benefits everyone. SAA was formed in January to show Congress how important funding for students and the future of education is, while also requesting that they increase Supplemental Grant fund- ing by $65 million, Perkins Loans be increased by $35 million, Educational Assistance Partnerships increased by $50 million, Federal Work- Study increased by $64 million, TRIO increased by $70 million and Graduate programs increased by $25 million. According to SAA, an educated work force means reduced welfare, higher productivity, lower employment rates, higher salaries and better, jobs. ECU staff strongly sup- ports SAA and their efforts. "I couldn't have gone to college without financial aid, and Pell helped me See AID, page 3 A student and a friend were physically attacked last week and their attackers are still on the loose. The attack occurred at ap- proximately 3 a.m. on Oct. 29, north of Joyner Library. Both male victims, whose names have not yet been released, did not know their attackers, and there appears to be no reason for the assault. The non-student victim was severely injured after being struck and was sent to the Uni- versity Medical Center for seri- ous head injuries. He is now at home, recovering, though ECU police say that he does not re- member everything about the attack. The student only re- ceived minor injuries. The two victims were on their way to visit friends when they were assaulted. The attack was not a robbery and the confron- tation lasted only briefly. The three male attackers were described as having short, light colored hair and wearing jeans. They were last seen running south through the Sonic Plaza. If anyone observed these sus- pects in the area or have any in- formation about the assault, they are encouraged to contact the ECU police department at 328- 6787 or may leave an anony- mous tip under the "Crime Tips" section of the ECU PD web page at www.ecu.edupolice.

Disaster forces 82 to leave school University struggles to keep students Housekeepers honored for work Staff continues work despite hurricane, flood Angela Harne STAFF WRITER Campus housekeepers got someone else to clean up after them for a change. This past Monday ECU sponsored the yearly luncheon and dinner for university housekeepers at Mendenhall Student Center in the Great Room. The day crew enjoyed a luncheon from 12-1 p.m. and the evening crew enjoyed dinner from 8-9 p.m. Vice Chancellor Richard Brown and Associate Vice Chancellor of Facilities George Harold at- tended the luncheon. Attendees praised the event. "Everyone really enjoyed themselves at the lun- cheon said Beverly Bobbitt, University Housing housekeeping manager. "We had a great turn out at the luncheon Harold said. "Employees greatly enjoyed them- selves "This is very enjoyable said Al Flood, campus housekeeper. "The setup is very nice, too ECU Catering served fried chicken and baked ham, along with macaroni and cheese, green beans, salad and rolls. Beverages included iced tea, water and coffee, with the dessert selection consisting of carrot and chocolate cake. Ten door prizes were given away at each lun- cheondinner. They included ECU hats, shirts and sweatshirts nd a $25 gift certificate to Golden Cor- ral. "This is the first time I have enjoyed the Great Room said Robert Outlaw, housekeeper of the Iron Building. "It is very nice and well organized According to Kenn Chatis, housekeeper admin- istrator, Housekeeping Appreciation Week usually takes place in September, but was postponed due to Hurricane Floyd. "We had some very difficult times during the flood Chatis said. "Over half of our employees lost everything. Many were living In shelters, but they still managed to get to work and help with the flood relief efforts. They went above and be- yond the call of duty. I am blessed to be working with such wonderful people See LUNCH, page 3 Ruby Roberson, an employee of ECU housekeeping, hard at work, (photo by Emily Richardson) Terra Steinbeiser ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR When Hurricane Floyd ripped through our state seven weeks ago, everyone at ECU was affected in one way or another. For some students, the losses they suffered were so great that they needed to withdraw from school to deal with them. Following the disaster, the university quickly implemented a Hurricane Relief Center and other programs to assist students in their recovery. The adminis- tration brought in external coun- seling and relief services, gave out direct grants of $100, relaxed the class drop schedule to enable students to lighten their course load if necessary and started a book loan program so that stu- dents would not have to repur- chase books that had been dam- aged or lost. According to Laura Sweet, assistant dean of students, 82 stu- dents clearly stated that they were quitting school as a direct result of the flooding that fol- lowed the hurricane. "Students needed to quit school for various reasons related to the hurricane said Dean of Students, Dr. Ronald Speier. "Some withdrew because they lost their homes and could no longer afford to go to school. We even had one student who lost his home here, and his fam- ily lost their home in Duplin County The administration made many efforts to make it possible for students to continue to stay in school even if they had suf- fered heavy losses. "When a student considers withdrawing from school in any case, we sit down with them and conduct an exit interview, where we try to identify the problems the student is facing Sweet said. "In the case of the hurricane, if a student identified the problem as emotional or fi- nancial we directed them over to the counseling center or to financial aid to see if they could be of any help The Office of Financial Aid was able to find about $80,000 worth of additional grant money and increase the amount of loans available for students. In addition to this, those who officially withdrew from the university before Oct. 25 received at least a 25 percent refund of their tuition and fees.

In the midst of its initial public stock offering, the nation's first online textbook retailer is now fighting to make sure its stock does not flat-line when it hits the mar- ket. Varsitybooks.com has been ac- cused of making false and mislead- ing advertising claims about its dis- counts and on-campus stores' pric- ing schemes. NACS, an organization of 3,000 college bookstores, including Duke University Stores and The Book Ex- change in Durham, is seeking an injunction against the site for its insistence that it offers texts at 40 percent below the "suggested price NACS officials say this price standard does not exist in the col- lege textbook market and that the Web site's prices only rarely beat on- campus stores by 40 percent. "We want them to stop making claims about a suggested price said Cynthia D'Angelo, senior associate executive director of NACS. "There are very few textbooks that offer a suggested price. They advertise a discount of 40 percent, yet that's not the industry standard Wife of Los Lobos member missing; half-brother arrested DISASTER pagel ROWLAND HEIGHTS, Calif. (AP)�The wife of Los Lobos singer- guitarist Cesar Rosas remained miss- ing today as Los Angeles County sheriff's detectives investigated her half-brother in the disappearance.

H�r van, a side window broken, was found Monday on a street in nearby La Puente.

"It happens every day in our See LOBOS, page 3 "We tried not to make it finan- cially penalizing for students if they needed to drop out because of prob- lems due to the flooding said Rose Mary Stelma, director of Financial Aid.

"So far, our revenues are up compared to last year Wilkerson said. "However, online book selling is a new trend of doing business that I think all booksellers are going to have to venture into to remain competitive in price and ser- vices In the suit, NACS claims that Varsitybooks.com's supposedly drastic discounts easily trick college students, who often experience "sticker shock" at the high prices of textbooks at on-campus bookstores. D'Angelo explained that students often think their college bookstores are taking advantage of them and become particularly receptive to dis- count offers. Varsitybooks.com has already toned down some of its 40 percent- off discount claims but is gearing up for a "David vs. Goliath" battle against NACS, Kaplan said.

"I think the supporting organizations are very respectable. If the proposal is done responsibly then it's a great idea. SAA is not asking for unmeasurable amounts of money about $400 more, which boils down to about a 30 increase According to SAA, federal stu- dent aid programs have a long record of helping millions for Americans attend college. But over the past two decades, the funding for these important programs has not kept pace with inflation. That means students' federal grants and loans are worth less to- day than in 1980. "American's students deserve better said Laura Wilcox, assistant director of public affairs for the American Council of Education.

For additional information, call 252-328-6366 If it had not been for admin- istrative measures, it is probable that many more of our students may have been forced to withdraw from school to deal with the aftermath of the disaster. 0URVIEW Hurricane Floyd and the flooding that followed presented eastern NC and ECU with more challenges then anyone could have ever imagined. Chancellor Eakin reminded students the semester was not lost and named many of the university's resources that were available, but for 82 of our students, the stress of picking up the pieces and continuing their education at the same time proved to be too much to handle at one time. The administration worked with us to help replace textbooks, file for federal aid and provided additional counseling, academic and financial aid services. At the Hurricane Relief Center, students were given $100 on the spot to help with immediate needs. The period to drop classes was extended and students could maintain 9 instead of 12 hours and still be considered full-time. The Financial Aid Office searched for and found ad- ditional grant money that could be given to students in need. If it had not been for administrative measures, it is probable that many more of our students may have been forced to withdraw from school to deal with the aftermath of the disaster. While the rest of us may groan about our lost vacation days and grumble about the increased work load in our classes, we are fortunate that we have been able to recover enough that we are still able to carry on most of our usual routines. It is tragic that the disaster affected some of our students in virtually every aspect of their lives and turned them upside down. We at TEC hope that in their time away, they are able to regain normalcy as quickly as possible so that they can return to ECU to continue their education. OPINION COLUMN George W.p" jcHes dump truck R.W. Hobbs, Jr. OPINION WRITER Sometimes life imitates life. George W. Bush was jogging along the street Monday when he heard a dump truck behind him. To avoid being hit, Bush leaped out of the way. He consequently suffered a bruise and minor abrasions, how ironic. In the political scene, Bush has been jogging along in the polls. The dump truck here are the candidates who showed up for the Republican town hall meeting which was aired ltve on CNN. Bush avoided the de- bate, and some say he was hurt by not showing up. Many candidates licked their chops knowing that Bush not being there was a good op- portunity to show how he does not care to connect with the people. Campaign finance reform was a topic of discussion that was thrown around a lot at the meeting. George W. Bush is known for his unlimited financial resources. Some candi- dates used last week's town hall meeting to exploit Bush's abuse of the campaign finance system. A couple of candidates took the opportunity to "dump" on Bush for not showing up. One of the mod- erators asked a question made by someone who could not attend the meeting. Taking a snap at Bush, Gary Bauer, a Republican presiden- tial candidate said, "are you sure that question didn't come from Governor Bush?" Steve Forbes, another candidate, took a hard stab at Bush, mention- ing that he missed a visit to a school for underprivileged students in fa- vor of a fund-raiser. Forbes suggested that if they called the debates fund- raisers, perhaps Bush would show up. With Elizabeth Dole out of the race, Sen. John McCain takes a strong second place to George W. Bush. Attending this town meeting has given him a boost in the polls, and McCain continues to tighten up his second place position. Bush says he will be involved in debates later on in December, but many believe his absence at this most decent town meeting has hurt him at least temporarily. Which brings me back to the story of the dump truck�Bush can leap out of the way, but that doesn't guarantee that he won't get hurt. Others may even move past him. Bush needs to be very careful with each political move he makes. Right now, he's enjoying a com- fortable lead, but Al Gore is suppos- edly changing his image, and John McCain is gaining on him. So, Bush is right to look forward to his presi- dential inevitability, but he should also keep an eye out for the many dump trucks behind him that can't wait to drop their piles to get ahead.

OPINION COLUMN Helms deserves no criticism for blocking nomination Patrick McMahon OPINION WRITER I don't know if any of you have been reading the papers, but a story has come to my attention that I feel I must address. There is currently a fire storm of debate going on right now in our nation's Capitol concerning the nomination of Carol Mosely-Brown to the posi- tion of ambassador to New Zealand. OK, 1 know many of you don't care about that crap, but I'll try and make it worth your while by saying something stupid. The debate has arisen mainly because of North Caro- lina Sen. Jesse Helms' staunch opposition to the nomi- nation. Helms is receiving unwarranted attacks because some people think he is carrying out a personal ven- detta against Mosely-Brown, who blocked the patent renewal of the United Daughters of the Confederacy's logo which contained the Confederate Battle Flag. Mosely-Brown's blocking of the routine patent renewal came after numerous speeches in which she attacked the group and its logo stating that it was a representa- tion of slavery and that it was offensive to black people. She also said Helms is out to get her because he sung pixie while in an elevator. Please wait while I try to sop my sobbing and wipe the tears from my eyes. No matter how hard I try, I cannot fathom this group of- fending her enough for her to do this; the flag repre- sents heritage, not hate. The United Sons and Daughters of the Confederacy are groups that were formed to remember those who fought and gave their lives in defense of the South during the Civil War. These groups represent no ha- tred towards black people or fond remembrance of sla- very. They are simple pride organizations who struggle in today's world to keep these veterans' memory alive. Mosely-Brown's ignorant crusade and personal ven- detta against them shows that she does not have the open mind needed to be ambassador of anything. Helms' opposition relies mainly on the fact that Mosely- Brown used left over campaign money for personal luxuries, thus violating ethics rules. She has also been linked to third world despots and certain agencies whose ideals are clearly questionable. Mosely-Brown deserves no position of representa- tion of anyone in this country. She does not represent me and I applaud Helms' fiery opposition to her nomi- nation. I vote for anyone who comes up against him in an election and personally I despise the man. But for what he is crusading for right now, he has my full support. Mosely-Brown's nomination should be denied and she needs to go before the full Senate to finally answer the ethics charges and stop hiding behind the president who nominated her.

THINGS ARE MOVING ALONG AS EXPECTED AND A FIERY DEATH FOR ALL MANKIND IS IMMINENT! NOW HERE'S STEPHEN WITH SPORTS OPINION COLUMN How old am I? Na'im K. Akbar OPINION WRITER Since I am the resident elder at ECU, one of the most oft-repeated questions that 1 have to entertain is that of my age. I enjoy a special kind of relationship with my fellow students. I am a brother and confidant, a friend, a mentor, an advisor, and to a great many I am that parent away from home. It is an acknowledged fact that I rarely give traditional answers to questions. So, the answer to the question of my age can be found in the events that occurred during the year of my birth, which is Aug. 20, 19?? My first source of information is my mother, who told me that I was born around noon. She remembers going into labor at about 10 a.m. She sent my aunt for the mid-wife, who assisted in my birth. I was born in Tarboro, NC. From the information I am about to supply, you should be able to tell me my age, unless you are too lazy to do a little research. I can understand that (smile). The headline in the Tarboro daily newspaper was "Hugh 'Shot' Cox Signed As Coach at Tarboro High Sunsuits were the fashion and personality pins were in style. A brand new Dodge sedan cost $1, 675. Food was very cheap by today's standard. Cabbage was three pounds for 19 cents, evaporated milk 11 cents per can, sirloin steak 73 cents per pound, stew beef 33 cents per pound, dog food 19 cents for two cans and peaches were 17 cents for three pounds. Entertainment was flourishing at this time with movies such as, "Framed "Raiders of Red Rock" and "Law of Canpon We were not without our disasters of the time, there were reports of a tornado that caused the death of 167 persons anp" injury to more than 1,300 in Texas and Oklahoma. A ship explosion killed 500 persons in Texas City, Texas; the city was annihilated by the blast. And a severe hurricane swept in from the gulf of Mexico, killing 100 people in Florida, Missis- sippi and Louisiana, as an aftermath, floodwaters de- stroyed crops and killed 60 people, sound familiar? This is the year that Henry Ford and Bea Bernadet died. Jackie Robinson was the first African American to play in the major leagues. The first globe-circling airline was inaugurated with a cost of $1,700 for an around-the-world trip. The first supersonic aircraft was piloted by Captain Charles "Chuck" Yeager. In the political arena, the president was Harry S. Truman and vice-president was Alben W. Barkley. Rob- ert Gregg Cherry served as governor of North Caro- lina. The state elected offidals from the Edgecombe County area were, Benjamin E. Fountain, representa- tive and Lawrence H. Fountain, state senator. In the world of sports the New York Yankees were World Series champions ("Go Yankees"), MVPs�Joe Dimaggio�New York Yankees and Bob Elliot�Boston Braves. In basketball the NCAA champion was Holy Cross and the NBA champion was the Baltimore Bul- lets. In football the college champion was Notre Dame and the NFL champion was the Chicago Cardinals. Joe Louis was the heavyweight champion, Jimmy Demaret won the Masters, Mauri Rose won the Indy 500 and Jack Kramer was the tennis champion. And I will conclude with the cultural aspects of the time: fashions for women were long skirts pinched at the waist and flattened bosoms. Men wore full gabar- dine coats and zoot suits. Hairstyles were the crew cut, Argentina duck tail, and the greasy combed-back look of Frank Sinatra for White men and the low-but (low fade) style for African American men. Well, this con- cludes my journey to the year of my birth. Now, you will no longer have to ask me my age. I have just an- swered that question.

OPINION COLUMN Media gives youth poor role models Kenton Bell OPINION WRITER The proliferation of beauty, and notoriety as the litmus test for the self-worth of a person has become the scarlet letter of many. The news media is inundated with images of young women obsessed with beauty and students rampaging through school as an outcry against isolation. The youth of America no longer look to their par- ents for guidance but to media that is centered on com- merce. Teletubbies, Pokemon and any number of fads that enter an impressible child's mind can leave an in- delible mark. The world of Sesame Street, and the dif- ference between near and far, are left to the wayside for the latest cartoon character with live action sounds, and accessories sold separately of course. The recent film "Fight Club" centered around the belief that people have been misled to believe that ev- eryone will be a movie star or model if only they wear the right clothes. The movie's star Brad Pitt, the poster boy of squared jaw features, charms hoards of women by raising an eyebrow. The hypocritical nature of the choice of a lead may find to the antithesis intended. The tendency for society to become so jaded by apathy shows in the minds of many of its members. The average American can tell you who is who in "Hol- lywood and even their latest love interest, but have no idea who their senator is. The desires of a child no longer center around making their parents proud, but around making the papers. Famous men and women are not beholden to the rules of law, when the presi- dent can lie under oath and the degree to which sports heroes are acquitted for their transgressions is directly proportionate to their earned run average gained. The death of a beloved football player will make one stop and reflect on a stellar career more than the shooting of a local boy by the police. Movies and me- dia tells us that we are not pretty enough and require a certain look, and then mention young children dying and murders with the same complacent smile. This columnist will not pretend to understand why this happened, nor pretend to be able to find an an- swer. The world is now centered on beauty and fads. This may be an idealistic view of life, but one can still achieve happiness and success by hard work. The world has always followed the vogue of the times and this will never change. However, when the child walks by with a toy from the newest show, and a young girl pores over beauty magazines, remember that beauty is more than skin deep�it is based in hype, cultural direction and the need to belong. Success it seems, means to be happy with who and what you are. This writer can be contacted at kbell@studentmedia.ecu.edu. LETTER TO THE EDITOR Sachs must have basis for 'Morningwood' gripe Dear Editor, I am writing in response to Chris Sachs' article about the "evils" at the so-called "Morningwood Apartments I live at the aforementioned complex and consider it to be my home. Now, I will agree with you that it has its share of problems. But you must consider that any apartment complex inhabited mostly by college students is going to be loud, as well as host a number of other negative aspects. I do not, however, feel that this particular place has any more problems in number or severity than any other. I also feel the need to put in a good word for the staff in the managing office. They may come across as anal-retentive at times, but someone here has to be, considering the fact that many of the inhabitants re- side here solely thanks to the graces of their parents' money and have no sense of responsibility to take care of themselves or this place. I think there is an unspoken rule that applies to this situation that I would like to remind you of. You nmmm have the right to complain about something that is yours, like your mother for instance, but heaven-for- bid someone outside the family says anything. I, hav- ing been on a journalism staff myself, strongly believe in being opinionated and being able to express that opinion. But I think that opinion should be rooted in something you are personally connected to, not just based on some conversation you had with a couple buddies during a gripe session. I do not feel it takes talent to trash something you know nothing about and to absentmindedly write with the sole purpose of pushing people's buttons on issues that are so personal. I have to say that Chris is creative and I laughed when I read the article. I just think he lacks tact and a certain amount of sensitivity that a good writer should have. Sincerely, Cara Adams, tenant "Morningwood Apartments" tm The East Carolinian www.tec.ecu.edu FEATURES BRIEFS Quick hangover fixes Hangover (HANG-over) n. Unpleasant physi- cal effects following the heavy use of alcohol. May including nausea, vomiting, intense head- ache, stomach pain and photophobia (sensitiv- ity to light). Symptoms can be attributed to de- hydration, low-blood sugar, irritation of the stomach lining and poisoning of the organs by the amount of alcohol they are trying to pro- cess. Some simple solutions: �Drink plenty of water to replace lost fluids. �Alcohol depletes the system of many nutrients, particularly vitamins A, B, B-6 and C and miner- als such as niacin, calcium, magnesium and po- tassium. Take a multivitamin that includes min- erals. �To work the alcohol out of your system (actu- ally to metabolize it), a little exercise is useful. It increases your intake of oxygen, therefore speeding up the process. �"Bite the dog that bit ya" is an old cure that has some basis in reality. The brain cells affected by alcohol can return to normal quite suddenly. A small amount of alcohol can ease your brain back into awareness. �An aromatherapy cocktail can quell the queasi- ness. Mix 4 ounces of water, the juice of half of a lemon and 1-2 drops of fennel essential oil; drink before breakfast. � Ayurvedic doctors recommend stirring 1 tea- spoon of lime juice and a pinch of cumin into a cup of fresh orange juice and drinking. �Fresh juices are helpful in speeding the recov- ery of a hangover. They flush the system of tox- ins and rehydrate your body. Assuming you can drag yourself to the kitchen, blend 8 ounces of carrot juice, 1 ounce of beet juice, 4 ounces of J celery juice and 12 to 1 ounce of parsley juice. ; Drink a glass in the morning and another later in I the day to stimulate the liver. � I �A readily-available mixture called "E-mergen-C" J contains vitamins B and C and many other min- ; erals to replace the nutrients that are destroyed ; during heavy drinking. Follow the dosage direc- '�� tions to help relieve your hangover.

Brides li Restaurants, sport teams benefit from variations in hues Jennifer Brown STAFF WRITER When you pick out your clothes in the morning do you think of what effect the colors might have on other people? Colors can say a lot about our personalities and lifestyles, as well as the cultural beliefs that we as- cribe to. Colors are symbols. This meaning is often capital- ized upon in society. For example, everyone knows when they come to an intersection and see a red light they must stop; if it were yellow, they would theoreti- cally slow down. In California, however, colors also determine where you can park your car. A red curb means no parking, yellow is a loading zone, green is parking for 10 min- utes, white is for five minutes during business hours and a blue curb means handicapped parking only. According to Michael Hoane, a visiting assistant professor of psychology, colors can even affect how a team performs on the playing field. He said the foot- ball coach of the University of Ohio was known for painting the opponents locker room pink and the home locker room red. Pink is a passive color that symbolizes submissiveness, while red is a color of aggression and anger. "Visiting teams would even bring in colored paper to put up over the locker rooms to change the pink color so their team would be fired up Hoane said. Hoane also said that restaurants use color tech- niques. For example, McDonald's uses red and yellow to signal speed and quick service. However, fancier res- taurants use lower lights and calmer colors so that the people will relax and stay longer. Colors also have different meanings in various coun- tries. In Western cultures, a bride wears white during her wedding, while in Korea, people wear white to Brightly colored bubble gumballs are appealing to children for their eye-catching color. (Photo by Emily Richardson) See COLOR, page 7 Heritage Month bughjs said Melissa Chavis, one of the co-presidents of ECNAO. There are 40 students involved this year, and at least 7 different tribes are represented.The organization sends out letters to all students who classify themselves as Native Americans, and also meets twice a year to help increase student aware- ness about the organization. ECNAO sponsors several other events that encourage students to take pride in their cultural identity. "Get A Clue" is an event that promotes cultural equality as well as education spanning a variety of cultures other than one's own. The event also features the Native American culture. A can drive for needy families is one community service project that ECNAO supports. Another organization that encourages Native American students to take pride in their culture is Epsilon Chi Nu. Provost said he believes it neces- ECNAO encourages cultural awareness Susan Wright Features Editor November is Native American Heritage month. For a number of ECU students, this is an opportunity for Native Americans to celebrate their cultural heritage as well as to learn more about their roots. East Carolina Native American Organization (ECNAO) is dedicated to promoting the culture as well as the unity of Native American students at ECU. Promoting Native American culture is complex since there are a number of different tribes that exist, each with their own unique subculture con- sisting of beliefs that differ from most or all of the tribes. "Each tribe has its own beliefs said Raymond Provost, vice-president of Epsilon Chi Nu who is of Cherokee descent. "They try to keep the cul- ture alive and they are willing to defend it Although there are many divisions within the Native American culture, ECNAO encourages fel- lowship among the members of all tribes and beliefs. "At N.C. State, they have three different organiza- tions, but here there is only one organization said Randy Gilland, graduate student and vice- president of the graduate chapter of Epsilon Chi Nu. "It works well here because we are trying to promote the entire culture. Some people don't realize that we are still here and that we don't act . like Indians in the movies. We try to dispel any false stereotypes "We're here to promote Native American aware- ness and fellowship among Native Americans Am faxydbncsrpMmttftdttmalen�i�fMfpMo sary to make everyone aware of Native American culture. "Our organization does things to keep our culture alive Provost said. "We are making a new drum, and we also do traditional crafts According to Provost, only one percent of the population is Native American. "Our organization is trying to make sure people know that Native Americans haven't faded into history Provost said. There is also an annual powwow for ECU stu- dents as well as community members who choose to participate. This school year, the sev- enth annual powwow is being held on March 25, 2000. "It is a gathering of Native Americans, and it is an expression of our culture Gilland said. "We try to represent the ECU students also because all of the universities around have at least one pow- wow "A powwow begins with a prayer Chavis said. "Then, there are traditional dances with a lead male and a lead female who lead the dances. There is also a lead drum and two or three other drummers A powwow is a traditional part of the Native American culture. The annual powwows held at ECU are meant to celebrate Native American tra- ditions and honor the elders, according to Chavis. ECNAO and other Native American organiza- tions are important social groups as well as sup- port groups for students away from home. Everyone wants to know where they come from. Provost said. "We have a lot of pride in what we are and who we are "For me, it is a social support because I do not rave the luxury of being with my family all of the time said Gilland. It is good to have some- one that you can be around who can offer sup- port Non-Native American students also believe that promoting this unique culture is important. Teople should know about the different cul- tures said Courtney Carter, sophomore. "A lot of times, minorities get overlooKed" "Accomplishments of people from different cul- tures should be recognized that contribute to the nation said Jennifer Johnson, senior. Native Americans were predecessors to Americans of European descent and do not honor the time when Spanish explorer Christopher Columbus reachedthe New World. "We of course do not celebrate Columbus Day at all, because it was when the plagues and sicknesses came to our land and deci- mated our culture and our people Provost said. "It is important to show the other side of it. Native American Heritage month gives us a chance to shine This writer can be contacted at feature@studentmedia.ecu.edu. Kl Breast augmentation riddled with positive, negative possibilities Nonsurgkal additions, used as alternatives Kenton Bell STAFF WRITER Breast augmentation has been an issue of societal debate since it began in the early '80s when im- plants first came out. Enlargement is now available through surgical and non-surgical methods. Breast enlargement is defined as increasing the bust line through surgery. The surgical method in- cludes implantation of several dif- ferent kinds of breast implant sub- stances, such as silicon, saline and soy bean. Augmentation is the ad- justment of the body without im- plants. Both women and menhave dif- ferent perspectives on the necessity and desirability of implants. "Society says that you should try for this perfect form, but I think that you should just be happy with what you have said sophomore Navillan McCray. "I believe that augmentation does help; companies look for cer- tain attributes that show a certain image said freshman Jason Robbins. "It also serves to raise a person's self-esteem because of the Victoria's Secret sells a variety of cleavage enhancing products for those who wish to look more fully endowed. (Photo by Chriss Rodigues) increased social acceptance According to the Breast Health Guide, published by St. Mark's Breast Centre, scarring in the area where the incision is made to insert the implant is one risk associated with breast augmentations. Though sili- cone is rarely used anymore, per- sons with the implants have had concerns over them leaking. Im- plants have been known to move from their original position and are then needed to be removed. Addi- tional surgeries to correct compli- cations are also a regular occurrence.

ExprtMtkm: Habal There are many campus organizations that are stu- dent-run, but need advisement from someone with specialized experience in the area. At TEC, which is edited, written and produced by students, Paul Wright has the interesting and challenging job of making sure that everything runs smoothly everyday. Wright earned both his bachelor of arts and his master's in mass communication at Morehead Univer- sity in Kentucky. Since that time, he has worked a vari- ety of jobs In communications. The only area he has not explored is television. ECU is the fifth university he has taught at or ad- vised in student publications. Since his graduation from college, he has been at Morehead University, the Uni- versity of Tennessee-Knoxville, Virginia Common- wealth and Florida International in Miami, Fla. "Communication has been something I have always wanted to do Wright said. "I like radio because of the way that you interact with the audience According to Wright, in radio programs such as "War of the Worlds the audience is captivated by the scenarios that they create in their mind, the radio only gives them the beginning of the picture. In other types of media, the audience does not have the same creative potential or opportunity. SeeWHIOIIT.page? funerals.

"I think that certain colors can make you feel certain ways, but that doesn't affect how I dress said freshman Kristen Brown. ; Color has always been used for healing power. Ancient cultures be- lieved that the sun's rays had magi- cal healing qualities. According to New Age On-Line Austrailia, each color influences a certain feeling or taste, and may have the power to re- juvenate one who is ill. Red and or- ange are colors of energy, but while red Is used for treating cancer, orange is used to increase sexual potency. Yellow is a sign of intellect and can also help with some skin prob- lems. White is the color of purity and the best reliever of pain. Green sym- bolizes harmony and balance and is good for growth. Blue is the color of truth, while indigo clears the path to the spiritual self. Purple is good for mental and nervous problems. Lavender is used as a tranquilizer. Black is thought to help patients reach the silence and peace of God. Silver is the color of peace and per- sistence. Gold is the strongest color and is thought to strengthen all fields of the body and the spirit. "We get trained to believe a cer- tain way said Eva Roberts, an asso- ciate professor in the art department. "For example, we associate pink with girls and blue with boys. There are obvious cultural associations with color and we have our own personal reactions to them Colors do play an important role in our lives as symbols and means of communication. Society deter- mines what the colors represent, and in turn, colors shape our reality. This writer can be contacted at jbrown@studentmedia.ecu.edu. BERKELEY, Calif. (AP)�A Tibetan monk looking for asylum. A Dominican schoolgirl In search of an educa- tion. The rebuilding of war-torn Bosnia. Some University of California law students are fol- lowing the paper chase Into the gritty world of human rights struggles as part of a program that flows from classroom to courtroom. So far, the students have helped refugee clients from countries including Mexico, Zimbabwe, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, Egypt, Colombia, Bul- garia and El Salvador. "It totally puts law in context said Klrstin Carlson, a second-year student at Berkeley's Boalt Hall. "A prob- lem with law school is you can become really myopic. You can get really good at contract law, but you can forget to ask yourself: 'How should this be? What's jus- tice? The Boalt Hall International Human Rights Clinic was started in January 1998 by two lecturers, Patty Blum and Laurel Fletcher. The idea was to go beyond the tra- ditional teaching tools of simulated cases. "In a simulation class you can carefully control the facts for a pedagogic purpose. In a clinic setting, the pedagogic purpose is to learn how to be a lawyer by dealing with the real problems lawyers deal with Fletcher said. The program has six to 10, second- and third-year students a semester, who work under the close super- vision of a practicing lawyer. "Students aren't simply thrown in and told, 'Just learn how to do It Any document is reviewed count- less times before it goes out of the office said Fletcher, clinic associate director. One early case was that of Tibetan monk ligdol Ngawang, who requested asylum last year on the grounds he had been beaten, imprisoned and tortured under Chinese rule. Ngawang, who began studying to be a monk at age 12, began protesting for Tibetan rights at age 15, join- ing other Buddhist monks and nuns who marched outside of a temple in Tibet. Police descended and al- though Ngawang escaped, he was arrested the next day. In prison, he said, he was beaten, sharp bamboo sticks were shoved under his fingernails and he was hanged from the prison ceiling by handcuffs as police demanded to know who was behind the demonstra- tion. Five years later, he was released without explana- tion, but he soon learned he was under surveillance and likely to go back to prison. He fled, spending two months walking across the Himalayan mountains and living as an undocumented refugee In Nepal for five years before gaining passage to California. In preparing Ngawang's case, law student Anastasia Telesetsky put together Ngawang's declaration of his experiences, corroborating news articles and his per- sonal photos and letters. The clinic, said Ngawang, "saved my future life Now 28-years-old and working at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Ngawang said every day is a revelation. "It's real. There are real deadlines. There are real people. There's real passion to win the case Amato said. The six interviewed judges about how effective the role of law has been in social reconstruction. They are now working on a report to the International Crimi- nal Tribunal on how it can make its work more rel- evant. "Watching theory spring to life was an experience to remember Carlson said. "It was hard and it was amazing and it touched me in ways I didn't expect she said. LINGERIE from page 6 inside the cup of the bra to add fullness.

The characters and the scenery may change, but it is the same story. When working with a student news- paper, you get trie same thrill of see- ing your work in print, but without all of the effort. One of the most interesting jobs he has held was during his time at Florida International. When he ar- rived only one issue of the newspa- per had been distributed, so he and the staff began the newspaper from scratch. Wright said that it was the most unusual staff that he had ever worked with because of the mix of people on staff. It was as likely that an interview would be conducted in Spanish as in English, and cultures from all over South America and all regions of the US were represented. Although Wright's career has offered him a variety of opportuni- ties and obstacles, he still finds ev- ery day exciting. Working with stu- dents is interesting for Wright be- cause there are constantly new ideas, new problems and new issues to deal with. He never has the opportunity to get bored.

Sampras out at least 10 days Pete Sampras injured his back and withdrew from the Paris Open on Wednesday, all but ending his chance to regain the No. 1 ranking before the end of the year. Playing his first match since Aug. 20, when he hurt his right hip during a match at Indianapo- lis, Sampras beat Francisco Clavet 4-6, 6-3, 7-6 (7-4) Tuesday night. Sampras wouldn't speculate on how long the back spasms will sideline him, although tournament physician Per Bastholt said he would be out 10-15 daysSampras said the injury isn't as serious as the one just before the U.S. Open. "The spasm is bad enough to stop me from play- ing, but not so serious as the disc injury he said. Sampras has finished No. 1 for six straight sea- sons. He is ranked No. 3, trailing No. 1 Andre Agassi and No. 2 Yevgeny Kafelnikov. Leaf suspended for four weeks The short, troubled NFI. career of Ryan Leaf hit a new low Tuesday when he was suspended for four weeks without pay and fined a week's salary for what teammates said was an obscenity-laced tirade at gen- eral manager Bobby Beathard and other San Diego Chargers personnel. ! The Chargers wouldn't disclose the reason for the disciplinary action against Leaf, who's coming off shoulder surgery and was expected to be in playing shape in three to four weeks. However, players and others in the organization, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Leaf yelled at Beathard and mem- bers of the strength and conditioning staff, appar- ently over a workout he was asked to do. The blowup came before a team meeting Mon- day, a day after San Diego's 34-0 loss at Kansas City. Coach Mike Riley and some players witnessed part of the exchange. "We can't tolerate the undermining of discipline that's set for this team Beathard said at a news con- ference. "It's something that we' discussed, and to the man felt that it was something we could not avoid. It was an action we had to take Beathard refused to elaborate, other than to say the suspen- sion had nothing to do with alcohol or drugs, and that It was prompted by something that happened Monday. i . SPORTS With everything at stake, Pirates head to UAB Blazers'Brooks may be a force to reckon with Stephen Schramm SPORTS EDITOR Saturday ECU will head to Birmingham with a bowl bid, conference title and a national ranking on the line. The dangerous UAB team, with nothing to lose, eagerly awaits Pirates. The Pirates go into Birmingham's historic Legion Field at 7-1, ranked 17th and in contention for their first C-USA championship. UAB enters the game at 3-5 and 2-2 in conference. ECU'S trip to Birmingham will give UAB a chance to beat a ranked team for the first time in the school's history. The Pirates are not phased by the possibility of an upset in the season's final road test. "That hasn't even played in my mind said quar- terback David Garrard. "We just need to go out there and get a victory; a convincing victory is what we need The only other time the Blazers and Pirates met was 1998's 26-7 Pirate victory in Greenville. Much has changed since the two teams last faced one another. "The Alabama-Birmingham football team has up- graded their talent from last year to this year in dra- matic fashion said Head Coach Steve Logan. "UAB is very good on the defensive side of the ball, they are still trying to find out who they are on offense. "They believe in what they are doing and they are well coached. It's going to take a very good effort on our part to go get on the plane and get another vic- tory Logan said. The Blazers feature a vastly improved defense which features one of the nation's top cornerbacks, Rodregis Brooks. "I think they've improved a whole lot from last year just by looking at their defense said senior flanker LaMont Chappell. With seven interceptions, Brooks is leading the na- tion. He is also a deadly punt returner who averages 20.2 yards per return. "We'll throw at him, we'll throw at everybody else, it doesn't change anything Garrard said. "If he gets one, he gets one. But we're just going to keep throwing the ball Last week the Pirate defense shut down Houston, David Garrard looks to lead the Pirates past UAB. (photo by Emily Richardson). so this week the Blazers will feature an offense with many different styles. "They've got a couple different ways they can go at, you said cornerback Kevin Monroe. "They can run the option as well as spread out five wide receivers and pass on you. So we've got to get a good defensive scheme and just keep them out of the end zone While the defense kept the Cougars from scoring, the Pirate offense sputtered. "Offensively, we played a bad game last week. The defense held, they really played a good game Chappell said. "They really saved us the game because offensively, everything we did do didn't work, and when it did we had penalties. So I feel we need to go out there and score and try to jump out on these guys early and take them out of the game This writer can be contacted at sports@studentmedia. ecu. edu. Men's S3CCer team prepares for CAA tournament Pirates face fierce competition Emily Koperniak STAFF WRITER Nov. 9 is the beginning of the CAA Men's Soccer Tournament. The ECU men's soc- cer team now stands 1-6 in the CAA. The Pirates are looking up at the rest of the field. "We are trying to make sure we are not in the eighth or ninth seed so we can have a day of rest. It's all up in the air right now said Head Coach Devin O'Neill. This year the Pirates stand at 3-9-1 for the season. Despite their losses, they are hopeful about the upcoming tournament play. "We are talking more, hang- ing out more as a team. I feel we are more unified as a team. That's what it's all about Nate Douglas said. The tournament will feature several strong teams. "All the competition is great; Old Dominion has been exceptional all year, Virginia Commonwealth is great, and Richmond is strong O'Neill said. Teams who hold the position of eighth and ninth seed will compete at 3 p.m. on Nov. 9. The winner of that game will face the No. 1 seed the next day. Semi- final rounds will be played at 5:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Nov. 12. The championship match, which will'be televised, is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. on Nov. 14. The Pirates are busy preparing for the stiff test. "We are working hard at practicing everyday said Dino Stambolitis. Team Captain Brett Waxer has been in three CAA tournaments while at ECU. "I feel my job is to keep the guys up, keep their mind set. We have to focus on what we came to achieve. Hopefully we will all have a positive attitude Waxer said. Sophomore, Nate Dou- glas will be competing in his first CAA tournament "1 plan on stepping up my game, concentrating on thinking more Douglas said. In 1998 the Pirates headed into the tourna- ment as the ninth seed. They lost to American Uni- versity 4-0. Coach O'Neill feels that every athlete on the team has something to give tothe tournament. "Team effort is very important. In our game, all it takes is one player to make a mistake; but then again, all it takes is one player to turn things around. Re- sponsibility is shared for scoring, as well as defense O'Neill said. This writer can be contacted at ekoperniok@studentmedia. ecu. edu.

"He kind of downgraded his celebrity status said Doug Buffone, who was a veteran linebacker when Payton joined the Chicago Bears in 1975. "It was no big deal to him. He was very common, never in his ivory tower or standoffish Buffone said he had heard in recent weeks that Payton's condition had deteriorated, but he respected Payton's wishes for privacy. "I stayed out of it Buffone said. "Walt was always in a good mood That was the case during his final moments, said Hall of Fame linebacker Mike Singletary, who read the Bible and prayed with Payton hours before he died of cancer Monday. "As a person, he was just one of those who was defi- nitely a bright spot wherever darkness appeared Singletary said. "There was peace�a peace that sur- passed all understanding A few months ago, a group of Payton's former Chi- cago Bears teammates joined him at a local restaurant to share laughs and a few memories, Singletary said. As the night wore on, they realized one guy was mak- ing thern laugh harder than anyone else. "Walter was the middle of attention Singletary said.

The Greenville Arts and Funfest helps relieve Floyd losses Robbie Schwartz Staff Writer Okay, so you managed to spend all of your money this past weekend on all of the Halloween festivities. So how does a weekend of free live music and enter- tainment grab you? The Greenville Arts and Funfest is going on this weekend in the Minges Coliseum parking lot. The festival will offer many dif- ferent things to do and buy, and the proceeds will go for Hurricane Floyd recovery. Sponsored by the De- partment of Recreation and Leisure Studies here at ECU and the University Health Systems, the Funfest will facilitate the making of gift baskets for children and families affected by the flood. "With the approach of the holidays, we want to do our part to assist parents in bringing smiles to the eyes of their children said Dr. Jon McChesney, the director of the festival as well as a professor at ECU. "We want to appeal to the Greenville and surrounding communities to help us help the children An example of the chil- dren who will benefit are those from Patillo Middle School. The children of this school, located between Princeville and Tarboro, will not be able to return to their school building for at least two years. They are cur- rently meeting in mobile units with their only other facilities being Port-a-Jons. Of the hundreds of booths featured at Funfest, these children will have one where they hope to collect recreation equipment such as balls, bats, gloves, jump ropes, board games, and other things that they might be able to enjoy. Private companies and businesses, as well as mem- bers of the community, will have stands set up to sell stained-glass art, pottery, and hand-carved items. ECU students are getting involved as well. Some of the fraternities and sororities and other groups at ECU will be setting up booths to promote health awareness and provide entertainment. Pee-Dee the Pirate, the Solid Gold Dancers and ECU Cheerleaders will per- form at the festival. Members of the Methodist Student Swing Club will also be out there doing a performance. Students from the Recre- ation and Leisure Studies Department will be provid- ing children's games, such as putt-putt, a football toss and a soccer kick contest. There will be clowns, an in- flatable Moon Bounce and slides for the kids. Students from the RCLS department are also sponsor- ing a wheelchair basketball contest. For the adults, there will be a rock-climbing wall, a golf simulator to see how far you can hit a ball, a radar pitch to see how hard you can throw a ball and even an adult Moon Bounce for those who are kids at heart. "It is the biggest event to hit Greenville said volun- teer Allen Nielson. "It is free and we guarantee a great time Along with all of these booths there will be a stage set-up for local performers to play. Some of the bands in- clude Slipjoint, King Mon- key, Luckytown, Travis Proctor, and Kelly Lilly, as well as jazz and beach music performers. The festival will also in- clude a pie-baking contest. Chancellor Dr. Ri- chard Eakin and City Coun- cil member Mary Alsentzer will be guest judges, and de- cide on the best-tasting pie. "Greenville needs a posi- tive event that facilitates community collusiveness said Dr. McChesney. "Floyd affected so many families and children of our community that we wanted to give something uplifting to these people So come out and shop for holiday gifts, enjoy some free entertainment, and help the children of Greenville and surrounding communi- ties.

If you've ever seen the Pink Panther movies, then you know that Peter Sellers has a very wide range of characters, not the least of which is a Hindu character named Hrundi R. Bashki, which he plays in The Party. Sellers stars as a second- rate actor who has an extra roll in an action movie. Sell- ers is in several scenes and manages to mess up all of them. He even screws up scenes he isn't in. In one scene the special effects guys are going to blow up a fort with dynamite. They only get one shot at it, which should tell you what hap- pens there. Well Sellers props his foot on the TNT trigger to tie his shoe, and I needn't mention what happens next. The producer calls the head of the studio, who goes by "General and tells him to blacklist Hrundi. What the General doesn't know is that he wrote Hrundi's name on the guest list to a private Never invite Peter Sellers to your soiree. (World Wide Web photo). party that he's hosting. Once Hrundi arrives at the party, he gets involved in one comic screwup after another. He loses his shoe in an in-house pool, makes the art deco bar rotate, breaking everyone's glasses, floods an upstairs toilet and has to exit out a window that takes him face first into the pool. The funniest scene in the movie is at dinner, which features Steven Franken as a waiter who's so drunk that he ends up serv- ing the salad with his hands. In the background we see the headwaiter strangle the drunk on four different occa- sions while the guests sure obliviously at their dinners. There is also a cute little love story in this movie. Hrundi uses his Hindu charm on a young French singer who, ironically, is brought to the party by the producer of the movie Hrundi messed up.

Don Giovanni romances Wright Auditorium tonight Maura Buck Staff Writer When the curtain draws, a charismatic, smooth-talking, sexy character begins to mes- merize the entire audience. He is promiscuous, remark- ably naughty, and shockingly forgivable. That's right, for- givable. Who else could be the subject of such a mixed recep- tion but the one, the only, Don Juan? Watch out ladies, this sexy character will be in our midst tonight at 8 p.m. in Wright MUSIC continued from page 3 into a hippie anthem by Janis Joplin in the 60s. Also, his songs "Help Me Make it Through the Night" and "Sunday Morning Com- ing Down" both went plati- num. So why did this "Silver- Tongued Devil" never become Auditorium. The world-re- nowned Western Opera The- ater (WOT) out of San Fran- cisco is bringing the ever- popular Italian opera "Don Giovanni" to our campus. Courtesy of the SRAPAS, the WOT will proudly present this exciting piece of musical history written by Mozart in Italian with En- glish supertides projected above the stage. "More than anything, the advent of supertides has bro- ken down so many barriers and has made opera much less intimidating said Robert Cable, marketing and public rela- tions coordinator of the WOT. Cable brought up an inter- file radio king that his songs would lead one to imagine? It could be the fact that he'd rather see other people gain fame and financial status be- cause of his songs .or it might be the fact the he just can't sing very well. Either way, his new album The Austin Sessions is a twelve song collection of his best ma- esting point in his assertion about the opera being intimi- dating. College students may not be willing to give the art of opera a fair chance. But he feels that one attraction to this particular production will be the age of its actors. "The singers in the West- ern Opera Theater are very young singers he said. "Most of them are not too much older than students themselves. I really think that that helps The talent at WOT has earned quite a reputation in the theatrical circuit. Not only are they the only national touring opera, but they are also responsible for delivering almost 3,000 performances to nearly 3 million people world- wide, especially in locations that would otherwise have no ex- posure to such entertainment. Furthermore, they were the first American opera to tour The People's Republic of China in 1987. The tale of Don Giovanni has fascinated millions throughout time. It's Mozart's account of a morally corrupt opportunist who seeks sexual ��tt�i terial revamped for his new record label, Adantic Records. For this grand occasion, Kris sings to the best of his ability (which is actually pretty good) and enlists the help of such artists as Allison Krauss, Steve Earle, Vince Gill, Jackson Browne and Marc Cohn. This is the crowd pleasures and refuses to accept any consequences for his ac- tions. One object of his affec- tions, Donna Anna, does not readily condone his advances, since Giovanni is responsible for taking her father's life. Regardless, the determined Giovanni uses disguises and clever ploys to try to gain her attention. The entire opera leads up to an in- teresting final scene that ulti- mately reveals the fate of the infamous Don Juan. Believe it or not, not many universities around the nation foster the arts quite like ECU does. Through programs such as the SRAPAS, students, fac- ulty and the community of Greenville can come together and experience something as unique as the WOT's "Don Giovanni" at unbeatable prices. Kevin Scarmack, a fresh- man taking a music apprecia- tion class at ECU, plans on attending the event because of the cultural aspect. "I am studying Mozart in my class now and the oppor- tunity to see a well-respected company perform a promi- that should be covering his songs: those artists who are on the fringe of classification. Songwise, all the greats are here, most notably his "Sun- day Morning Coming Down which could be an ode to col- lege students everywhere .except maybe Campbell. With lyrics like "The beer was good at break- nent ethnic piece is a rare oc- currence. We are really pretty lucky In addition to the acting, the musical score parallels the plot through an ever-changing tempo and pace. The changes in tone and pitch, in a way, define the audience's relationship with the notorious Giovanni. At one point, he's irresist- ible and perhaps five minutes later, he is absolutely detest- able! Conceivably that is the very reason that the opera has survived through the years of performances, and yet it still has the ability to enchant au- diences on a global level.

Joe Carow's fine choreog- raphy kicked off an amusing rendition of "Rock Island" in the first scene, spoken by a train earful of traveling sales- man in time with the jerking of the train on its way to River City. Here we met salesman Charlie Cowell (Paul Smith), whose snappy delivery and grotesquely bald head never failed to amuse. Ben Allison, in his lead role as slick salesman Harold Hill, was cooler than a cu- cumber in his ice cream suit and band hat as he proceeded to convince the townspeople of River City that their boys were all delinquent and needed to join a marching band. After collecting money from their parents for order- ing instruments and costumes, he planned to skip town and leave River City a little "sad- der but wiser The only major hitch in this plan was the lovely Miss Marian "The Librarian" Paroo (Elizabeth Lucas), who saw right through him from the get-go. Unable to charm her, Hill began trying to impress her with downright noble deeds. Christine Mayers sup- ported nobly as the Irish Mrs. Paroo, Marian's mother. Her impeccable brogue did much to redeem the theater department's notorious lack of dialect consistency in the past. A wooden John Darrow II did his darndest to cavort merrily as Marian's pre-pu- bescent brother, and the pow- ers that were saw fit to inten- sify his affected lisp with a microphone for the audience's amusement. A sweet, if mooney, Emilia Brown rounded out the children's cast as his object of affections. Conductor Scott Carter juggled a small orchestra in the pit very nicely, but the percussion could have been better. Unfortunately, the sound wasn't big enough to support some of the larger numbers like "Marian the Li- brarian Joe Carow's choreography was at its best during that number, as well as "Shipoopi and saved the crummy- sounding show-stopper "Sev- enty-Six Trombones" with en- thusiastic marching and some delightfully anachronistic ba- ton-twirling. "Iowa Stubborn" showed off the chorus' ability on a broad scale, featuring the beautifully blended voices of a well-selected cast of towns- people. Elizabeth Lucas' silver throat was put to good use in "My White Knight" and some lovely duets, and even litde John Darrow had a grinding solo that made me want to put out my eyes with my pen. Other irritating perfor- mances included those by the squeaky Zaneeta Shinn (Jes- sica Forsythe), whose intent to be "quirky and humorous" would have been better facili- tated by her wearing a sign reading "I'm a goofy charac- ter on her forehead. And I won't fail to men- tion Mrs. Eulalie Shinn's town cronies, shrieking paro- dies of women who awakened my own latent misogynistic tendencies. After enduring see THEATER page 7 11499 Scorcese fumbles big-time Bringing Out the Dead is a reviewer's worst nightmare Kenton Bell StaffWriter Bringing out the Dead seems more of an allegory about the people who com- mitted suicide due to bore- dom in this film, and less about the substantive plot of the film. It can be summed up rather succincdy referring to the complete and utter lack thereof. Nicholas Cage, the perennial pretty-boy of such cinematic detritus as Raising Arizona, and oh yes, the memorable FaceOff stars in the main role as Frank Pierce, a paramedic in Gotham's Hell's kitchen, Gotham being New York City, and Hell be- ing the 2-hour run time. Here's the catch: he sees the people whose lives he lost in the process of his job, and the ghosts ask him why he did not save them. Pierce re- sponds has any professional would: by drinking and taking a molatov cocktail of intrave- nous drugs. Oh, I know that you're hooked already (Can he make the ghosts leave him alone? Will the drug abuse finally catch up to him?) A wonder- ful supporting cast will supply the story turns to facilitate an- swers. Ving Rhames oiPulp Fic- tion Marsellus Wallace fame (at least when he got raped he got some music; you only get Cage stars in another big-budget bust. (Worldwide Web photo). dramatic racial cliches) plays Marcus, an old road-weary paramedic paired with Pierce. He serves up such wonderful bon mots as "This is big, Daddy and "What's my Sugar Mommy doing?" One must pose this question: Why didn't Scorcese opt for the crows Heckle and Jekyll from the old Warner Brothers films? They at least did a song and dance number. Ving Rhames does Amos and Andy proud. Patricia Arquette, the ma- tron saint of full frontal nu- dity (and what a dramatic role she played in Lost Highway. Everyone, say it with me, "man damn) plays Mary Burke, the daughter of a gentleman who has a heart at- tack, and whom Pierce is sent to help. The kicker is that the man wants to die, but the family is keeping him alive. Arquette's character is inane, pointless, blah, blah, blah, blah, and a few other adjectives. Tom Sizemore (Saving Private Ryan, and nothing else memorable) plays another paramedic, a sick and twisted man who beats more people than he saves. John Goodman, the illegitimate husband to Roseanne Barr, does a stellar job of playing a bad actor in a bad movie, truly Oscar-worthy. Scorcese, whose body of work includes Bull Durham, Casino and Goodfellas, makes a movie that, above all, should never have been attempted. The script is dry, the dialogue insipid and the acting reminds me that anyone can be a star, with a good agent.

Edward Norton and Kevin Spacey come to mind, but one thing's for surethey'll never get to be a celebrated Nash- ville recording artist. This brings us to Kris Kristofferson. You may have seen him lately in such folks might remember him from the quintessential truck drama "Convoy" or as Mace Mon- tana, the ring master du jour in "Big Top Pee Wee The strange thing is that even though he's appeared in more than thirty feature films, his one true love has always been, and remains, songwriting. As one of the Highway- men, he and his oudaw bud- dies Willie "the Taxman" Nelson, Waylon "the ballad- eer" Jennings, and Johnny "grrr" Cash have been turning the country music industry on its ear for the past thirty years. Though the other group members went on to have lu- crative careers in music, Kristofferson stayed the course and got nothing out of it But that's not to say that ' his music went unheard. His own compositions have been covered by such performers as Gladys Knight, Elvis (the dead one) and David Allen Coe.

Patrick "all around great guy" McMahon StaffWriter I got a call from my edi- tor at 5 p.m. Friday evening informing me that I needed to review a band. Super. I had to pick out a band wor- thy enough of my time to re- view. 1 flipped open my trusty Attic schedule book and guess what happened? Nothing really, I just saw that Treading Evans was playing and I said to myself, "Hey you handsome stud, this looks cool So I went. Thank God I did. Upon arrival I noticed the opening band was playing to a full back bar, only about a dozen people on the front dance floor. What a damn shame. These guys were really solid and had a heavy, almost southern rock sound that was a joy to listen to. The band, Feel Love Fury out of Wilmington, got my attention earlier in the day when they did an inter- view on WZMB 91.3. The literally had me clenching my stomach in pain from laughing so hard. I guess the best way to describe their sound is that it is full, with heavy guitar and lead vocal action. A song that really stood out was "Don't off their new self-tided album. I was kinda miffed that more people didn't see this show. I know they would have enjoyed it. For more on this great band (they really are cool guys), check out www.feellovefury.com. After a very very brief in- terlude, the always entertain- ing "Dog" (the bassist for Treading Evans) came out and the slighdy larger crowd showed its appreciation. I don't know what it is about this guy, but he's just a natural- onstage. Anyone who saw him play with nameless? can attest to that. In fact, his the- atrics sometimes drew my at- tention away from the band as a whole, which can be taken any way you want, I guess. Aside from the "Dog" show, the band was churning out really solid music with a heavy, melodic sound. They use what 1 call "emotional" hooks, kinda like how Pearl Jam starts their songs slow and then builds into an in- credible crescendo, but with- out the perfection that Pearl Jam possesses. They pull off the "emotional" wave profes- sionally, without all the crap that muddles music nowadays. There are very few bands that give me a feeling that they are going to really amount to any- thing in the long run, but this band gave me that feeling. With the right direction and management, the song "Rob's Closet" could be their big break.
