Imagine the Future According to Program Coor- dinator Dr. John Meredith, the capsule within the sundial will represent cultural diversity and will be up to mark the beginning of the new millennium at mid- night on Pec. 31, 2000. Meredith said the capsule and sundial will be placed in the town commons just north of 1st Street. "Capsules are usually lost Meredith said. "We decided that the sundial would be the marker of where our capsule is held. The sundial will also represent time of the past and future According to City Manager Ron Kimble, stories about Greenville will be sketched into the sundial. The time capsule within the sundial will include recorded oral histories, school es- says, signature scrolls, photo- graphs and drawings, current and historical local newspapers and magazines and other contjibu- tions from Greenville citizens. The entire project is esti- community mated to cost $100,000, and fund-raisers will begin this month to complete the construc- tion by the official start of the millennium. "The Millennium Committee is working hard to preserve Greenville's history Kimble said. "As a result of their efforts, ourcapsule will be here fora long time to come "We are looking for ways to reduce funds Meredith said. "Citizens may make tax deduct- ible contributions to Greater Greenville and those which sup- port our project will receive rec- ognition Meredith said he hopes that the capsule is opened in 100 years. "I hope to be dead and gone by the time it is reopened Meredith said. "I hope that a tra- dition begins with the opening of the capsule so lessons can be learned and more knowledge can be stored in it The sundial is a way of mark- ing the passage of time for Greenville. "Our sundial not only pre- serves history Kimble said, "but also demonstrates a natural marking of time through na- ture Kimble and Meredith said they are very excited about their millennium plan. "I-am very excited Kimble said. "Our sundial will make sure that we don't forget the past while keeping an eye on the fu- ture I am ecstatic Meredith said. "It will express our dynamic, progressive community while staying focused on the people and their quality of life Meredith said that the Greenville Millennium Commit- tee filled out an application with the White House in efforts of be- coming a millennium commu- nity.

For full coverage see page 10 (photo by Emily Richardson). New traffic and parking patterns around campus won't be going back to normal anytime soon. The newest and largest of these projects is the pre-construction site prepa- ration taking place east of Umstead Resi- dence Hall for the new Science and Tech- nology Building. The permanent closing of Founder's Drive between Christenbury Gym and the English Annex has cut off a main artery through campus and made new traffic patterns that affect a large portion of the campus. Residents of SlayUmstead Residence Halls lost 42 parking spaces when the lot east of the dorms was fenced off, but the residents gained back 35 of those spaces with the new arrangements. A total of 59 staff parking spots were lost to resident and private parking for this project alone. "It's the staff who have taken a major hit on this said Johnnie Eastwood of Parking and Traffic Services. "We're really trying to look out for the residents in this part of campus This preliminary construction, known as Phase I, began on Dec. 13 and should last approximately 150 days. "All we're doing now is site prepara- tion said Bill Bagnell, assistant director for Planning and Facilities. "This is the time when we relocate utilities, grade the area and create a pad for the building Despite the fact that ECU will gain a state-of-the-art facility after enduring these months of construction, many stu- dents have expressed their frustration with the situation. "You can't go a single place on cam- pus where there isn't any construction going on said freshman Jenny Frasier. "It's so noisy, ugly and distracting Construction traffic blocks roads on campus, (photo by Emily Richardson) "It just makes me mad that I've paid all this money for a resident parking sticker and they keep getting rid of park- ing lots said junior Jason Daniels. While it may look like construction vehicles ate taking over parking lots by leaps and bounds, Eastwood says that measures are being taken to limit the num- ber of actual vehicles on campus. "We only allow construction vehicles that are totally necessary to the comple- tion of the project to park on the site Eastwood said. "The rest of them have to park in a lot on the corner of 4th and Reade Streets There has recently been an increase in construction traffic on central campus at thejarvis site. "This is because as a job gets nearer to completion you need more people on a job site�people like plumbers, electricians and so forth Eastwtxid said.

DirectorofUnivemtyUniommovesontonewschool Three is good Company Marshall encourages student involvement Carolyn Herold STAFF WRITER After almost 10 years, Jay Marshall, assistant director of University Unions, is leaving ECU. Marshall is leaving Greenville at the end of this week to be closer to his family and old home in Montana and to further de- velop his career. He has accepted a position as associate director of the Ullsvik Center and the Cen- ter for the Arts at the University of Wisconsin at Platteville, a four-year institution specializing in engineering and teaching de- grees. According to Marshall, he spent two and a half years selec- tively looking for a position that would allow him to supervise staff and "build" a student cen- ter from tiie ground up. At ECU, Marshall's main du- ties included hosting the travel adventure film series and advis- ing the Student Union, specifi- cajly the Barefoot on the Mall Committee, the Marketing and Popular Entertainment Commit- tees, and the I lomecoming Com- mittee. There will be no one fill- ing his position, although Asso- ciate Director for University Unions, Stephen (iray will take over his committee responsibili- ties! "I'm not leaving because I don't like ECU�because I do Marshall said. "I've always been proud of the collaboration we've made with the academic depart- ments, particularly the School of Music, School of Arts and the Department of English. The first major event that Marshall was involved in was bringing panels for the AIDS quilt to ECU to commemorate AIDS Awareness Month in 1992. Since then, the quilt has been displayed in many places throughout the country. Close to 5,000 people came to see the quilt on display. Other events that Marshall helped organize included bring- ing in Dr. Ruth Westheimer and author Robert Fulgham to speak, the Allman Brothers' concert and 1 lomecoming.

After her official appointment at the beginning of September, Clayton stepped into the position prepared to undertake her new duties. "I interact with management and employees to in- terpret and apply all Federal and State policies regard- ing color, race, natural creed, sex, or disability Clayton said. Prior to this promotion, she served as the director of the Lowdown Wright African American Cultural Center at ECU. Before arriving at ECU, Clayton attended and gradu- ated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a bachelor's degree, and she later attended American University in Washington, D.CfAfter: obtain- ing her master's degree there, she served as the special programs and populations coordinator for the Division of Student Life at American University.

After massive research projects, billions of dollars and unbelievable preventative measures, Y2K has proven to be nothing more than the start of a new century. With the ex- ception of a few businesses, residen- tial computers and government agencies disturbed by a few minor glitches, problems were few. Software giant Microsoft re- ported they experienced two Y2K- related problems. The first disrup- tion that occurred affected the soft- ware used in viewing some Web pages. The second involved an in- correct display of time within the free e-mail server, Hotmail. Interest- ingly, Microsoft Internet Explorer displayed the date for a short period of time as being 3099. The Federal Emergency Manage- ment Administration (FEMA), one government agency familiar to east- ern North Carolina, also experi- enced some technical problems for a bit. FEMA employees had diffi- culty with a database of reservists and regular staff used to deploy per- sonnel when a disaster is declared. Immediately after the rollover on New Year's the system went down, although things are expected to be repaired by the end of this week. Although the New Year is well underway, government officials still feel there may be possible glitches in the future. "We are likely to see glitches pop up here and there in the coming days and weeks, but I think that will be localized and transitory and will not pose a threat to the nation's economy said John Koskinen, White House point man on Y2K. As for the economy, majiy ex- perts believe Americans spent the Y2K bug to death. Koskinen esti- mates that U.S. businesses and gov- ernment agencies spent at least $100 billion in preventative mea- sures. A more comical story occurred in New York state when a customer was charged $91,250 for renting "The General's Daughter The com- puter in the store mistakenly charged customers for returning videos 100 years late. "The clerk and I were shocked, and then zeroed out the late charge and gave the customer a free video rental and wished him a Happy New Year said Terry Field, owner of the store.

"For instance, if residents are notified and the ex- tra non-related persons do not vacate the premises in the given time then fines will be issued one day equals $50, two days equals $100 and three or more days equals $250 each excessive day. These are viewed as civil fines not as criminal ones. If for some reason resi- dents ignore the warnings and issued fines the city has the right to pursue a court order which may require all residents to move out The code of living law relates to zoning issues. "The idea of zoning has been around forever Hamilton said. "It is a police power given to the state to separate the land into districts and set rules accord- ingly. Different rules pertain to different areas and as- pects like the issues of buffing, vegetation, sign usage and living arrangements Holec said zoning is a useful tool.

"Our code states that a family is one of the three; an individual living alone, two or more persons blood related living together or no more than three persons unrelated living together According to Holec, the law offers balance through- out the community.

This Was my first time hearing about permanent cosmetics, so you re ally caught my attention. As for myself, permanent cosmetics would not even become an option. I think I'd rather stick with the old way of just continually buying makeup from the store. The reason 1 say this is because I am not a person that takes pain very well. Sitting still while somebody pokes around my eyes or lips with a needle just would not happen unless it was an emergency. Have you heard of any problems or side effects that have appeared after a patient has gone through this process? If so, what are they? Even though 1 won't use permanent cosmetics, it still is good to have greater insight about different tech- nologies around the world. I believe that your article might influence other people who don't have the time or patience to apply makeup every day. Tpnya Daniels Freshman, Education LETTER TO THE EDITOR Availability of healthy food on campus inadequate Dear Fditor, I was reading an article in a recent TEC about the infamous "freshman fifteen This article, called "Fight- ing the Freshman Fifteen" was informative in telling students about the weight gain issue and some ways to attempt to avoid the situation. However, the one issue the writer failed to discuss was the inconvenience of the hours of the dining halls. The two main dining halls, Todd and Mendenhall, do not seem to accommodate much of the student body. With the exception of dinner, the hours are short and inconvenient. The time for breakfast, 7:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m essentially destroys any chance to eat for students who do not have eight o'clock classes. The lunch pe- riod, 11:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m gives students no chance to eat if they can only make a late lunch. How are stu- dents going to take advantage of the healthy and highly praised salad and pasta bars if the dining halls are not even open? The administration in charge of the dining halls needs to reevaluate the situation and make the time? more convenient for the students who do not have a schedule that allows them to follow the strict eating hours. When this happens the students who could eat before can still eat and at the same time the students who could not eat will have the opportunity to do so. The smaller eating spots such as The Wright Place, Croatan and The Spot are open all day and do have healthy alternatives, which is good. The overwhelm- ing number of unhealthy foods such as Steak and cheese and chicken fingers on the menu compared to the small variety of healthy foods makes it hard for a student to turn down the greasy food for a small salad. People are essentially forced to eat junk food to fill up because the salads and sandwiches just are not doing the job. Can a salad or sandwich be considered healthy hunger that it was originally supposed to fill? That is the true ques: tion behind the great epidemic people call the "fresh- man fifteen Hayes Framme Freshman, Undecided LETTER TO THE EDITOR Fee increase puts unfair strain on students Dear Editor, Today, Dec. 8, 1999, it has come to my attention through TEC that a tuition increase of $15 per student is being proposed by the university to support revenue athletic programs of the Athletic Department. How- ever, given the amount of money that is raised by the football program in the fall of every year, it would ap- pear that revenue sports should be capable of being self-supporting. Also, student-athletes need to be given fair treatment and better chances to achieve career goals in their futures. Therefore, it does not seem economically just or fair to expect the student body to kick in extra tuition money to support a system, or an athletic program that is heavily weighted in favor of bringing in high sala- ries and revenue for the ones who control it from the top. The athletic department does an excellent job here at ECU, building morale, raising money and providing a great relationship with alumni. We need to call upon some of these wealthy folks who have a lot more cash than students do, to put up the money for revenue sports. We here at ECU are a winning team, working to- gether to build a better future for ourselves and for East- ern North Carolina. I hope that we never lose sight of these goals. There is no reason to push the student body further down into debt and poverty to support those individuals who are already extremely well off. Richard F. Becker Senior, Political Science In an effort to help deal with the large number of citizens displaced by last year's flood, the city of Greenville lifted the ordinance that bans more than three unrelated persons living together in the same house. It seemed Greenville was finally going to do away with at least one of its archaic laws. As of the first of this year, however, that ordinance is back in effect and residents who disobey the ordinance are subject to heavy fines that increase by the day. This is a law that may have served some purpose when it was first implemented, but does it really have any place in a col- lege town where students are the biggest spenders? City officials cite zoning as the reasoning behind the ordinance, mean- ing that a residential zone is designed specifically for single family pur- poses, not for college students trying to save money on rent. Jhe code even goes so far as to define a family. A city attorney said he believed the law brought a "balance needed for the quality of life Now it seems that most college students live together in communities with other college students. It is unlikely that we are going to feel our quality of life is declining if the apartment next door has three or five people living there. It almost seems the zoning laws are arbitrary and follow no real guidelines when you look at Pirate's Cove and Player's Club apartment complexes. These apartments were approved under'dormitory regulations because of their suite style floor plan, but are they really any different from the countless other apartments in town? The fact that the Greenville City Council was so quick to get rid of this ordinance when we were in a state of emer- gency speaks volumes about the real intent behind this law. ari OPINION COLUMN The straight-A student's shopping list Chris Sachs OPINION WRITER Welcome back fellow students to a new and excit- ing semester of qualityhigher learning here at good 'ol ECU. 1 know that you are looking forward to ex- panding your minds and discovering the rich future that this term has to offer. After a month-king break, how can anyone be ready to go back to school? Even after a two-week visit with the family I am not ready to begin studying again; af- ter that visit I'm ready to begin my dream of becom- ing a wise old drunk. I'm definitely not ready for school. But for those few die hard students, who are intent on actually getting a degree, I have compiled a list of things you need to have for a successful semester. The first and foremost item is a large supply of No- Doze sleep inhibiting pills. This is mandatory for the incredibly interesting lectures that your professor loves to ramble on with at eight o'clock in the morning. You know you don't want to miss a second of the sphinc- ter-constricting narrative about 17th century accounts of troglodyte dyspepsia. The next items for your shopping baskets are Pepto Bismol and aspirin. These are mandatory hangover medication that you must have in great supply, espe- cially since here the parties start on Thursday and don't end until the nest Wednesday. Plus, they will keep you from eating too many No-Doze and listening to a long- winded crackpot yawn about 17th century troglodyte dyspepsia. The next items to steal are alarm clocks. Make sure that you have more than one at all times. This allows you to still be woken up even after you throw the first one at the wall in a hung-over rage at 7:58 a.m. The alarm clocks with a built-in tape player are the best kind: they allow you to wake up to a recording of the lecture you had the day before. The next item is to get a job. That's right, (God fOf- bid) a job. This job is not for paying tuition and biHi, that's what parents and student loans are for. This job is to raise the much-needed funds to provide a truly memorable spring break. One where you can get tanked and forget about loved ones" classes and your rottfrn job. And remember: The most important part abenit the job, is that when you get back from spring break, make sure to quit. The next to last item on the shopping list is an ample supply of excuses; you can never have too many. These valuable nuggets are needed for late term papers and missed tests. Try to be original, having the same excuse as someone else in the class makes you look suspicious. And for the ladies, get lots of tissues, that way when you cry in your professor's office about your inability to get a passing grade because your cat had an emo- tional trauma from a hairball incident, you won't smudge your eyeliner. Guys, make sure to get faked sports injury excuses from a buddy that works at tte health center. And the last item to procure is a note-taker. Prefer- ably someone who is unpopular and looking for accep- tance, does not drink and has really neat handwriting. This allows you to miss massive amounts of class-time and still receive a "C" on the tests. And if the note- taker gets curious about why you miss weeks of classes, refer to the previous paragraph. There you go people�you're now all set for another productive and meaningful college semester. And t?y -the way, you will soon be able to purchase all these items on the Web site I'm working on, so stayed tuned. This writer can be contacted at csochs@studentmedia. ecu. edu. LETTER TO THE EDITOR ECU fans lack enthusiasm during Bowl game Dear Editor, Watching from the stands as my fellow students tore down the goalposts at the NC State game, I thought to myself, we really are spirited, despite what others may say. And of course 1 was excited to hear about our invitation to the Mobile Alabama Bowl. I was excited not only for the team but for the whole school. My mother, my boyfriend and I headed to Ala- bama, preparing for the best game of the season. We hadn't noticed too many students but we figured they would pop up sooner or later. The stadium was small but it was packed with ECU fans, while the TCU side was sparsely populated. The game began with an ECU touchdown in the first few minutes. The crowd went crazy. This was a good sign. the game turned and TCU took the lead. Slowly, the supposed ECU fans all started to sit down. I real- ized that there were hardly any students and tons of alumni. Not only that but these fans weren't even fans they were people from Alabama who just wanted to see a Bowl game. The guy in front of me even asked me where ECU was. Still cheering, we hoped the Pi- rates would regain the lead. The last lew minutes of the game came and the Pirates could still win if they tried but they needed fan support. I was so frustrated. Everyone was sitting down staring at the field like they were in a trance. Me and a lone man in front of me screamed at the crowd to stand up and cheer for their team. They just ignored us. When their team is winning they scream and cheer, but when they start to lose they blow them off. Literally, me and my family were the only four people cheering, and we cheered until the very end. How well is a team going to play if they have lukewarm fans? The most discouraging point of the game was when one of our own players stood in the middle of the field and motioned for the crowd to stand up and cheer. Not one person stood up. Even the cheerleaders gave up, and that's sad. I felt so sorry for our team. These so- called "spirited" alumni paid all this money to come and see their team play and then just sat there. � - 1 personally believe that a lot of how well a team plays depends on fan support. And we have very little of it, or at least that's what I got from the Bowl game. I hope that next season our team will know that they have true fans and we will win a Bowl game.

FEATURES Thursday, Jan. 13, 2000 Creativity, sciences fostered in twentieth century laiATKANP OfSTROTERI PICASSO Key international figures leave mark Susan Wright FEATURES EDITOR Many people of the 20th cen- tury left behind a legacy of creative innovations, inspired music or unique literary achievements that have forever changed the world. As the next century begins, mankind is continuing to build on the suc- cesses and triumphs of its forefa- thers. These dreamers and doers will not be soon forgotten. Walt Disney, the man who built an empire on the shoulders of a mouse, was born Dec. 5, 1901 in Chicago, II Disney did not grow up wealthy; his family relocated several times to find a home where they could prosper. Walt Disney began his career in animation as an ap- prentice commercial artist in Kan- sas City in 1919. The agency's busi- ness declined, and Disney was laid off. Undeterred, he continued to pursue a career in cartooning, only now, he was the owner of the ad- vertising agepcy. Throughout his career, Disney looked for new innovations and variations on his work as a cartoon- ist. He created cartoon ads called "Laugh-O-Grams" and a series called "Alice in Cartgonland" in which live actors were combined on-screen with animation before he created the mouse that would make him famous. Initially, the mouse was named Mortimer, which was later changed to Mickey after his wife told him she thought that the name was depressing. Steamboat Willie, the first sound cartoon, won the Academy Award. Disney experimented success- fully in liye action films, "The Van- ishing Prairie" and "The Living Desert full-length animated mov- ies, "Snow White" and "Fantasia and television series, such as the "Disneyland" TV series and the "Mickey Mouse Club" series. Before Walt Disney died on Dec. 15, 1966, he had turned Mickey Mouse and his empire into a billion-dollar cor- poration. His legacy of fantastic and innovative animation as well as his drive to experiment with all possible mediums for his art has often been imitated, but never rep- licated. Henry Ford created "a motor car for the great multitudes Born July 30, 1863, Ford lived on his family's farm until he was 17. He then worked at the Westinghouse En- gine Company, where he first tink- ered with his won inventions In his own machine shop. In 1896, Ford completed the "Quadricycle the first horseless carriage mounted on bicycle wheels. After selling his first car to finance his next vehicle, his profits continually fueled new changes. In 1903, Ford began pro- ducing his automobile for the pub- lic through the Ford Motor Corpo- ration. The Model T, created in Octo- ber 1908, was manufactured over as period of 19 years. In Great Brit- ain, 250,000. cars were sold, while 1,000,000 models were sold in Canada and 15,500,00 were sold in the United States. Ford's produc- tion accounted for half the total automobile output in the world, lord increased productivity from 728 minutes per car to 24 minutes per car in 1927. He also paid a higher minimum wage than his competitors, introduced the three- shift system and vertically inte- grated his empire. Although Ford was known for his strange behavior, such as char- Yosemite National of John Muir and photo) tering an ocean liner with his friends to Eu- rope to end the war in 1915 by "continuous meditation" and blaming the "International Jew" for financ- ing the war in, his own news- paper in 1918, Ford changed the world to a more mobile so- ciety with his in- vention of the automobile. John Muir preserved America's beauty be- cause of a passionate love for and avid appreciation of the wilderness and all that exists. Muir was born in 1838 in Scotland, and emigrated to the United States in 1849 with his family. In his spare time, he would take walks in the lands around his home or carve wooden mechanisms. One of these tipped him out of bed before dawn every morning. Muir attended college for three years, but withdrew to see the northern United States and Canada. Muir walked 1000 miles across the United States as well as sailing to Cuba and Panama. By 1871, he found the living glaciers of the Sierras. His writings about this area of the country started his successful career as a writer. Muir composed 300 articles and 10 books about his travels an'd his naturalist philosophies. Muir's book "Our National Parks" captured the attention of the nation. !ln 1903, President Roosevelt and Muir visited Yosemite. Here, they discussed the Park was perserved because of the efforts other conservationists. (World Wide Web dreams that were to become Roosevelt's many conservation pro- grams. Because of Muir and his in- terest in nature and the preservation of the beauty that exists naturally, the National Parks System in the United States is internationally recognized for its conservation efforts. Albert Einstein worked toward peace his entire life, but he was also the man who made it possible for sci- entists to invent a nuclear bomb. Einstein was born in T879 in Ger- many. F.arly in life, he showed poten- tial in his ability to play the violin and his mathematics skill. As he grew older, Einstein did not have much success in the German school system. He was denied entrance to an engi- neering school in 1894 and 1900. He began working in a patent office in Bern while exploring theoretical physics, and in 1905, was rewarded with his doctorate from the Univer- sity of Zurich for a thesis on a new determination of molecular dimen- sions.

University once home to performers, professionals Pirate pride stretches a century wide Nina Dry FEATURES EDITOR ECU is an institution that springs many individuals who go on to become quite success- ful in their careers. With this new year upon us, let us look back at just a few people who have made a name for them- selves after graduating. Mark Kemp (Class of 1983) This Asheboro, NC native lives out his dream of becoming an editor of a well-known maga- zine and major contributor to music television. Kemp attended ECU in the late '70s majoring in English and minoring in Philosophy. Upon graduating in 1983, Kemp began his successful climb in the jour- nalism field as a reporter for the Burlington Daily News Times in Burlington, NC. In 1987, while attending a book publishing seminar at New York University, Kemp chose to make the Big Apple his new home where-many doors of op- portunity opened for him as he wrote articles for Discover Maga- zine, The Village Voice and Op- From there, in 1996 Kemp is of- fered a position as senior editor Roll- ing Stone Magazine moving up to music editor. Kemp's stint at Rolling Stone was short lived when the president of MTV offered him the position in 1997. He is currently the Vice Presi- dent of music development at MTV and is part of a team in charge of cre- ating new music and video-based programs. He and a team of writers are responsible of creating such shows as "The Mourning After how stars deal with the loss of loved ones and some Ultrasound segments. Although his plate seems quite full at the moment, Kemp find the time to write articles for the New York Times on the side. Dr. Annette Wysocki (Class of 1976) While attending ECU, Wysocki received her bachelor of science de- gree in nursing in 1978, her master's in 1980 and then went on to the Uni- versity of Texas at Austin to obtain her doctoral degree. She is the Scientific Director of the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) and completed a NIH post-doctoral fellowship, study- ing in 1989 in the department of cell biology and anatomy at the Univer- sity of Texas-Southwestern Medical Center and later in the 1991 depart- ment of surgery at Cornell Univer- sity Medical College. Annette currently directs all as- pects of the Division of Intramural Research at NINR and is develop- ing a mult'idisciplinary -laboratory and clinical research program. Before joining NIH, Annette was the Director of Nursing Re- search at New York University Medical Center. Since 1986, she has investigated the pathophysiology of chronic wounds and has been nationally acclaimed and recog- nized for her publications and re- search. She seeks ways to improve clinical management and care of chronic and acute surgical wounds. John Christopher Farren (Class of 1979) Farren was blessed with the skill to play the piano since he was a child. As most college students ex- perience, he made some pocket money playing in clubs in down- town Greenville. All his perform- ing at the Tree House (today known as Boli's) paid off because he is now a country music producer, songwriter and vocalist. One of the many awards Farren has won in- cludes being named the third top producer in country music for the 1997 issue of Billboard Magazine. Dr. Donna Thigpen (Class of 1964) Thigpen went down in ECU his- tory when, in 1964she graduated with the first School of Nursing class. Thigpen has traded her nurse's capfor a president's role. Originally from Beaulaville, NC, she now heads Bismarck College in North Dakota. Donna previously served as a "iaurse in Pitt County and in Rich- mond, Va and as a professor at Virginia Commonwealth Uni- versity and James Sprunt Com- munity College. She obtained her doctorate from North Caro- lina State University. She feels her background as a nurse has helped her in problem-solving, and one that serves as a model in every day role as president of a college. John E. Sexton (Class of 1977) Owner of John E. Sexton & Associates of Greensboro, Jonny ' has contributed significantly to helping the children of North Carolina as a professional audi- ologist. He has held numerous posi- tions in state and national orga- nizations, such as President of the North Carolina Speech, Hear- ing and Language Organization, whereby he has offered his ex- pertise and experience in help- ing the young children in North Carolina who suffer from hear- ing disorders. Sexton has also been extremely supportive of the students in the . ECU School of Allied Health Sci- ences and has graciously offered the John E. Sexton Audiology Scholarship to graduate students studying audiology at ECU, which Sexton offers in appreciation for the support and encouragement given to him as a student and a professional audiologist. Babs Winn (Class of 1973) �Although Winn received her degree in physical education in 1973, her passions resided in danc- ing. While attending ECU, Winn taught at the Ramona School of Dance. After many trips to New York for recitals, Winn knew that the "city that never sleeps" would be her new home. Winn has been in. many off- Broadway productions, such as "Take This Show and Shove It" which she finished in July. Cur- rently Winn heads the music group, Winn and the Kickin' Boogie Band recently released the CD "Good Home Cookin over the summer. Kevin Williamson (Class of 1965) Williamson was born in New Bern, NC in 1965. Throughout his See ALUMNI, page 9 Waiting on the new millennium Green Mile constantly involves audience Clock watchers agonize over another year Susan Wright FEATURES EDITOR Cries to rally massive crowds to "celebrate the new millennium" rang throughout the world in 1999. If only they had paid attention to their history books, they would have realized that there is still a year to go before the next millennium truly begins. The Gregorian calendar, the cal- endar that is currently used, sup- posedly began with Christ's birth. The Gregorian monk who designed this calendar made two minor mis- takes when he invented his calen- dar in 524 A.D. The first was that Christ was born about four years before the Romans believed him to be. His second mistake was that he did not begin with the year 0. Instead he began with the year 1. "There was no year zero as there should have been said Don Collins, associate history professor. "Since the calendar began with one, the millennium will begin in the year 2001. The last millennium began in the year 1001 The acceptance and use of the Gregorian calendar has had many glitches along the way, so the mil- lennium confusion is not unex- pected. In 1752, the United States and Britain finally accepted the Gregorian calendar instead of the less accurate Julian calendar that they had been using previously. The acceptance came so slowly because the calendar was initiated by a Catholic pope. Originally, the calen- See MILLENIUM, page 7 Pnsioner and guard are moved by the same phenomenom in The Green Mile. Death row drama creates emotional roller coaster Susan Wright FEATURES EDITOR In five minutes, a man is burnt to a charred corpse. It begins with heart-wrenching screams, smoke and tears, and the scene is so vivid that one can almost smell his skin. This was just one of the most moving drama that I have seen this year. The Green Mile, written by Stephen King, is set in a Southern penitentiary. The action all happens on the green mile, or death row. "The prison guards and the paltry prisoners are the main characters, and for three and a half hours, the viewer is pulled into their lives. Death row becomes more than the black and white place for the men who were condemned to die by an impartial jury of their peers. On the green mile, lives are changed, not only terminated. Every character is acted brilliantly, and you are swept along with them as they discover who John Coffey ("like the drink only spelled different") truly is and what he can do. Until the first half of the movie is over, none of the typical Stephen King touches are apparent. There are no overtly psychotic characters and no supernatu- ral happenings. When the author does make his role in the film apparent however, the audience is pulled in and can- not let go. For many of the scenes, the audience is right there in the room or walking through the woods. The real world ceases to be separated from the effects and believable characters.

Ryan Kennemur SENIOR WRITER Why do people choose to go to certain restaurants? Sometimes they go because the res- taurant has a massive reputation, such as Outback Steakhouse, Lone Star Saloon and even McDonald's. Other times people go based on the word-of-mouth that the foodatmosphere is good, such as Staccatto's Cafe and Finnelli's Cafe. An interesting name can also draw a crowd. � Such is the case for the newest restaurant to spring up in Greenville, The Jewish Mother, lo- cated inside the Plaza Mall in the place Annabelle's used to occupy. As you are seated, you can't help but second-guess the fact that you are technically still inside the mall.

(AP)�An old Gothic Revival style building that has sat vacant since 1996 would be perfect for an art museum that could anchor a cultural corridor that may revive this economically de- pressed county seat, an architect and some local officials maintain. The unusual thing about this building is what it used to be: the Montgomery County Prison. I When Doug Seiler moved his architectural office from Blue Bell to Norristown last March, he became interested in the downtown build- ing, which is nearly 150 years old. "It's a good-looking building Seiler said. "It's striking. It's hand- FEATURES Architect chooses Pennsylvania prison site for art museum some, well built. It's in incredible shape for its age and it being vacant for so long It took him until June to get in touch with someone from the county who could let him inside to look around. "It was at that point it dawned on us there was potential he said. "It's almost a prototypical museum. If you were o lay out a generic museum, it would be laid out the way this building is The inmates who inhabited the building until the county opened its current prison in Eagleville might not agree with Seiler's enthusiasm. They had been crammed in three at a time into 8-by-10-foot cells. The basement of the original part of the prison has cells that resemble a medieval dungeon, with doorways that are only 5 feet tall and no source of outside light. Pigeon droppings are several inches thick in some places upstairs. Hot-rod and pornographic pictures remain hanging in some cells. The plaster is crumbling and paint is peeling'in huge sheets from most walls. But the brick and tile work underneath is still as solid as the day it was built. Seiler has been awarded $4,700 in local government money to come up with architectural ideas and drawings for reusing the building. The money came from a $100,000 grant the county awarded Norristown for revitalization. Consultants hired to devise a revitalization action plan for the borough expanded on Seiler's idea, saying the old prison could also be used as a cultural arts center or a combination of the two, said Steve Nelson, the county's deputy chief officer for policy and planning. Built in 1851, the prison and county courthouse were designed by Napoleon LeBrun, a noted Phila- delphia architect of the time who also designed two well-known buildings in Philadelphia: the Ca- thedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul and the Academy of Music. "I think it's get tremendous po- tential Nelson said. "It creates a visitor attraction in downtown Norristown, and that helps the bor- ough out. It works from a historic preservation point of view, and it reuses a county building so the county doesn't have to worry about the building falling down After Seiler does his work, the county needs to find out how much Seiler's plan would cost and how many people could be expected to visit the museum, Nelson said. "Then we start shopping it around to museum boards and the Thursday, Jan. 13,2000 features@studentmedia.ecu.edu cultural arts people he said. "The most likely scenario is for an exist- ing museum to open up a branch or a satellite Nelson explained most muse- ums have more holdings than can be displayed, keeping items in stor- age where the public cannot see them, so opening a branch museum could be an attractive idea. And an existing museum has expertise that would have to be duplicated if a new museum were opened, he said. If an art museum does open in the old prison, it won't be the region's first. The James A. Michener Art Museum In Doylestown was converted from the old prison.

Cowboys fire coach ' The Dallas Cowboys have had four head i ;coaches in their history. All four have been fired ;by current owner Jerry Jones. Jones fired his � fourth coach Tuesday, pulling the plug on Chan '� ;Gailey's tenure in Dallas. Gailey went 18-14 in his two seasons, guid- ing the Cowboys to the playoffs in each season. Both times the Cowboys have been ousted in the first round. Sunday they lost to the Minne- sota Vikings 27-10, at the Metrodome. ; The 48-year-old Gailey replaced Barry Switzer following the 1997-98 season.

Williams withdraws from Australian Open Venus Williams announced Wednesday that she will not compete in this month's Australian Open due to tendonitis in her left wrist. Williams is the second American to withdraw from the open in two days. Fellow American, Monica Seles withdrew Tuesday citing a foot injury that she suffered in October. "I am really sad to to miss the first Grand Slam, because I've been working realty hard and I was looking forward to playing Williams said. Williams will be replaced as the No3 seed by her younger sister and 1999 U.S. Open Champion Serena Williams. In the Mobile Alabama Bowl, Texas Christian showed why speed kills. The Horned Frogs option at- tack and speedy defense paced TCU to a 28-14 win over the Pirates. Led by the nation's leading rusher, LaDainian Tomlinson and true freshman quarterback Casey Print- ers, the Horned Frogs racked up 186 rushing yards. Tomlinson rushed for 124 yards on 36 carries and two touchdowns as the TCU option offense moved the ball easily on the Pirate defense. "We knew they would be weak in that area Print- ers said. "We worked on that day in, day out in prac- tice. My coach told me that they might make me run the football Printers rushed for 27 yardj passed for 174 and picked up the GMAC player of the game award. In contrast, the Pirates were unable to get anything going on the ground. ECU finished the game with -16 yards rushing. "We went out with the mind set to run the ball, but they shut that down from the beginning said Jamie Wilson. "So we had to throw the ball and they shut that down. So we had to run the ball. We just played all of our game and we just couldn't get anything going today The Pirates wen? able to find some success in the air, passing for 239 yards. "That's the way it's been all year, up and down and in between, " said head coach Steve Logan . "We had our opportunities tonight for about 24 points and let about ten of 12 of those points slip away In the first quarter it looked as if it would be TCU who would let the game slip away. The Horned Frogs first possession ended when ECU safety John Williamson, drilled TCU receiver LaTarence Dunbar, jarring the ball loose. ECU'S Anthony Adams recovered the fumble and the Pirates took over. On the Pirates' second play from scrimmage, David Garrard hit a wide open Arnie Powell with a short pass. Powell scurried 58 yards down the right side for the game's first score. Down 7-0, TCU responded with an eight play, 65 yard drive ending in a two yard touchdown run by Tomlinson to knot the score at seven. Later in the first quarter, the Horned Frogs drove to the ECU 20. An unsportsmanlike conduct penalty pushed TCU back 15 yards and they were forced to punt. In the second quarter the Horned frogs went on top with a 21 yard touchdown pass from Printers to Mike Scarborough. "When I came off of the play fake, the corners squat- ted. They just stood there Printers said. "Scarborough just pointed to the corner of the end zone, telling me to throw it. So I threw it, and he was wide open With 51 seconds remaining in the second quarter, Tomlinson got his second touchdown of the night, scor- ing on a three yard run. The Horned Frogs had opened up a 21-7 lead heading into halftime. "We were lucky we weren't behind by more than what we were at halftime Logan said.

Loss sours tremendous season Stephen Schramm SPORTS EDITOR When Jeff Kerr walked off the turf of Mobile's Ladd-Peebles Sta- dium following ECU'S 28-14 loss to TCU in the Mobile Alabama Bowl, it marked the end of his Pi- rate football career. "It's been a great five years Kerr said. "It's a terrible way to end it. It's sad to end it this way, when you know you played your hard- est That sentiment was echoed by many Pirate players. For the team it was the end of a long, strange ride that went from a win in Ericsson Stadium, to a week in a hotel in South Carolina, to na- tional prominence and back to a devastated Greenville. This team was the first to knock off a top 10 team and the first to beat North Carolina State in Greenville. "It was a great season said se- nior flanker LaMont Chappell. "I had fun playing with these guys. We did some amazing things and came through a lot of adversity For the seniors, the game was the end to a career that for some began five years ago. "I have a lot of things to be happy about, but at the same time, losing this game, going out as a se- nior, there is something to be sad about Chappell said. "We had a great season but the last thing I'm going to remember is the TCU game The Pirates finish the season at 9-3. The teams nine wins are the most since 1995. "To come up short is excep- tionally disappointing for us, es- pecially for me as a senior Kerr said. The loss somewhat darkened what had been a tremendous sea- son. However, looking ahead the team likes what it sees. The Pirates will lose only 15 seniors and the team should contend for the C- USA title in 2000. "We're 9-3 so, I guess its just one of those crappy ol' 9-3 sea- sons said Head Coach Steve Lo- gan. This writer can be contacted at sports@studentmedia.ecu.edu Men's basketball team continues five game winning-streak Pirates thrive during break, improve overall record to 7-7 Susanne Milenkevich SENIOR WRITER ECU'S men's basketball team did not have time to relax over the semester break, as the team faced seven opponents building their record to 7-7. The Pirates be- gan by hosting Jacksonville State University on Dec. 18. The Pirates shot 34 percent from the floor in their 69-53 loss against the Gamecocks, bringing ECU to a 2- 6 record while JSU improved to 6-2. "I think this was a game that was decided in the first few minutes said first-year Head Coach Bill Herrion. "We changed the lineup around some tonight, but I am not blaming one individual. Early in the game I am looking to get more production out of our veter- ans. We try to get more guys involved, but it is not happening for us right now The Gamecocks jumped to a 9-0 lead in the first 3:46 of the game before senior forward Neil Punt sank a free throw to give the Pirates their first point of the game. 'ECU ended the half with a five-point run to come within 12 points of JSU. The score was 34-22 in JSU's favor. JSU opened the second half with a 7-0 run that in- creased the Gamecock lead to 19 points. The Pirates cut this lead to 11 with 3:51 left in the game when senior guard Garrett Blackwelder hit back-to-back 3- pointers to bring the score to 57-46. ECU-h.it only three more shots down the stretch to give JSU a 69-53 victory. "Offensively, the ball will not go in the basket Herrion said. "However, that excuse only goes so far. We need more answers to our problems than that. We are now entering a very fragile part of the season ECU was handed their second loss during the break when they hosted West Virginia on Dec. 20. The Pi- rates' record fell to 2-7 in the 87-76 defeat; their fifth consecutive loss. Blackwelder walked away from the loss with a ca- reer high of 25 points and tied a school record with eight completed 3-pointers, a mark that was set in 1990 by Steve Richardson. The Mountaineers opened a 18-8 lead during the first half after a 10-0 run before ECU sophomore guard Brandon Hawkins and Blackwelder each hit a 3-point shot to pull within seven. a 14-6 run in which Blackwelder hit another of his eight 3-pointers against the Mountaineers to pull within five. At the close of the half West Virginia lead ' 41-36. "I thought we came out ready to play, that's the toughest part Herrion said. "Make no mistake about it, I thought we had the effort to play with that team. But it's hard when you lose (five straight) like this West Virginia took control in the second half with a 9-1 run. ECU remained close throughout the half and with 4:29 left in the game Blackwelder sank a 3- pointer to bring the Pirates within five. In the final two minutes of play the Mountaineers hit 9 of 12 free throws to cap their win over the Pi- rates. "It's hard to feel good when we can't seem to win Hawkins said. "We really needed to win to regain our confidence After a week off, the Pirates returned to the floor by hosting Presbyterian College on Dec. 28. The Pi- rates snapped their five game losing streak as they beat the Blue Hose 86-52 in their first win since Dec. 1. "Right now, our guys needed a win Herrion said. "We weren't concerned with the name on their jer- seys. What was important for us, was to go out there tonight and execute and play well. Our performance was far from perfect, but I think we did see some en- couraging things The Pirates entered the game averaging a mere 37.4 shpothig percentage but came out with a season high . game average of 60.4 percent. Punt and Blackwelder teamed up to score half of ECU'S first half points as the Pirates entered the locker room with a 44-17 lead at the half. "In a sense, it is hard to play hard in the second half when you have a big halftime lead, but the kids did a really good job Herrion said. "Give Presbyte- rian a lot of credit; they continued to play hard all game Presbyterian College opened the second half with a 6-0 run but was stopped when ECU regained control midway through the half when junior guard Larry Morrisey scored eight points in just 1:10. ECU finished the game with 11 of 19 3-pointers and a rebound advantage of 36 to 25. This was ECU'S ninth game out of 10 this season in which they lead in rebounds. The Pirates then spent New Year's Eve on the road as they faced Fairfield University Dec. 31. ECU im- proved their record to 4-7 in an overtime victory against Fairfield opened with a quick 10 point lead with the score at 20-10 with 10:10 remaining in the first half. ECU then rebounded with a 19-8 run to gain the lead at 29-28. The Pirates went on to score nine more points, entering the second half with a 38-36 lead. ECU came out of the locker room ready to score as the Pirates built a 52-44 lead with 13:14 left in the sec- ond half. Fairfield then took control and mounted a 14-3 run that helped the Stags overcome ECU with a 73-69 advantage. With only :09 remaining in regulation time, Blackwelder sank a crucial 3-pointer that tied the game at 79, sending the game into overtime. The Pirates lead throughout overtime to defeat the Stags 92-89 in their first road victory this season. ECU out rebounded its opponent for the 10th time in 11 games this season and shot 51.7 percent from the floor. With two consecutive wins on their backs, the Pirates continued the streak as they defeated Mount Saint Mary's team on the Mountaineer's home court. The 72-49 victory put ECU at 5-7 on the season. The Pirates took a 24-13 lead midway through the first half when they sparked a 10-2 run. ECU added to the lead to end the half with a 37-21 score over the Mountaineers. ECU kept the. lead during the second half despite the Mountaineers' 15-7 run that brought them within 9. "I thought we played a good game Herrion said. "The first half was a strong all-around effort. I think the biggest thing is that we were.getting some contri- butions from our bench. If we continue like this, we can have a good nine- or 10-man rotation going for us ECU then extended their winning streak to four in a row after defeating Belmont College 66-54 in Nash- ville, Tenn improving their record to 6-7. "We knew coming in that Belmont was a well-coached team Herrion said. "We knew they would have a tough style of play with four or five guys capable of shooting 3s The Bruins entered the game ranked third in the nation for 3-point shooting but ECU held Belmont at just 25 percent with 6 of 24 3-pointers completed. Belmont took a six point lead early in the game that ECU overcame at the end of the half to bring the score to 32-30. The Pirates opened the second half with a 13-6 run and never looked back as ECU kept the lead for the SeeBASKETBALL.page12 : Thursday, www.tec.t Pir C Tec CO ECU'S irr Association people in thi that is left oi On Dec. i cepted ECU June 30, 200 The Pirati schedule tha for the entire be barred fro onship.

On Dec. 8, 1999 the CAA Council of Presidents ac- cepted ECU's resignation from the conference effective June 30, 2001. The Pirates will be able to keep their regular season schedule that includes games against the CAA teams, for the entire 2000-01 season. However the Pirates will be barred from competing for any conference champi- onship. ECU will join C-USA in the 2001-02 school year. "We continue to wish East Carolina success in the future, but the Council determined it was inappropri- ate for a resigned member to potentially represent the conference in NCAA competition said CAA Commis- sioner Thomas Yeager in a statement from the confer- ence. "Conference transitions are never easy, but we feel the totality of these agreements represent a fair com- promise both for the university and the conference Yeager said. The decision severs a relationship between ECU and the CAA that dates back to the conferences inception in 1981. "I am pleased by the actions taken today by the CAA Council of Presidents said ECU Chancellor Dr. Richard Eakin. "It is clear to me that the presidents have placed the interests of our student-athletes first and foremost. Our membership in the CAA continues to be a most enjoyable experience. Today's action will allow our departure to amicable as well ECU athletes will be eligible for conference titles in individual sports such as track and field, swimming and diving and cross country. ECU'S baseball, men's and women's basketball, golf, tennis, volleyball and soccer teams will not be able to compete for conference cham- pionships.

We had a couple of opportuni- ties to do that but we just couldn't get it done One of the Pirates' opportunities came with four and a half minutes left in the third quarter when Wil- son scored on a 13 yard touchdown run. Down by seveji, Logan gambled. The Pirates tried a surprise in- side and Forest Foster recovered. The Pirates' drive stalled and they were forced to punt. The Pirates got the ball back'but less than a minute into the fourth quarter, TCU safety Russell Gary effec- tively turned out the lights on the Pirates' season, pick- ing off a Garrard pass and returning it 32 yards to put TCU back up by 14. "I didn't see the guy coming underneath Garrard said. "Coach said he came in kind of late. He just made a good play coming underneath the ball, because if he wasn't there, it's a touchdown all the way This writer can be contacted at sports@studentmedia.ecu.edu. Cowboys fire Chan Gailey IRVING, Texas (AP)�Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones considered asking coach Chan Gailey to make some changes to his offense. Then Jones decided it would be better if he just changed coaches. Jones fired Gailey on Tuesday, two days after his second season ended just like the first: with a blowout loss in the first round of the playoffs. Gailey's undoing was an offensive philosophy that didn't get the most out of Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith and other holdovers from teams that won Super Bowls following the 1992, '93 and '95 seasons. "We had some success, but we didn't have the kind of success I thought we'd have Jones said. "I thought a fresh approach, a change, doing something different for the Erik Williamses, the Emmitt Smiths, the Troy Aikmans, the Michael Irvins, just might be the ticket. "They tried their hearts out to try to make it pro- ductive. We just aren't as productive offensively as we need to be, and we haven't been for the last two years Jones is likely to hire someone with ties to the sys- tem that did work in Dallas, the one installed by Norv Turner and continued by Ernie Zampese. But Turner, the Washington coach, probably won't be available, and Zampese wasn't popular when he left. A possible front-runner, then, is Mike Martz, who worked for Turner with the Redskins, then used his knowledge to build a record-setting offense as St. Louis' offensive coordinator this season. He'll be a candidate for several of the other four NFL job openings, although no one can talk to him until the Rams' season ends; Got books on your mind? "Give us a break you say? How about these?

' In the final 11:44 pf the game ECU allowed Belmont just four bas- kets. "We got off to a slow start but then settled in on defense Herrion said. "I thought our defense in the second half was outstanding. We still have some things to work on, but 1 thought we have been doing some good things as a basketball team lately The victory gave ECU its fourth straight win. "I think that winning four straight has really given the kids some confidence and it is showing in their play, especially on defense Herrion said after the Belmont game. "We are starting to get a great nine or 10-man rotation with out- standing contributions from the bench "When you're on such a win- ning streak everyone feels good about themselves and come into practice feeling positive and ready "Yea, Buffy. I totally can't believe they really printed my letter to the editor to win Punt said. ECU returned home last Satur- day to play their last game of the break against CAA opponent Will- iam and Mary. The Pirates brought their record to .500 with a 83-62 victory over the Tribe. "Right now I think we are get- ting better as a team each time we step on the floor Herrion said. "Be- ing ready for games has been a big goal of ours this season and we were prepared for it tonight ECU began the game with an 11- 0 run to take a lead that the Pirates never lost. At the end of the first half ECU lead 47-26 as Brandon Hawkins nailed a 3-pointer at the buzeef. The second half brought more of the same action from ECU as their lead never fell to less than 17 points. The Pirates finished the game completing 56 percent from the floor, 43 percent behind the arc, and out rebounding William and Mary 39-23. "Another nice thing that we have going for us right now is that we have a lot of guys contributing, especially the guys coming off the bench Herrion said. "It makes my job tougher to find minutes for ev- eryone but it is a positive thing with our team's balanced play Punt agreed that coach Herrion gives the players fair time. "Herrion has given us oppor- tunities that other coaches haven't Punt said. "He started as a walk-on against West Virginia and has given guys time to play With a five game winning streak, ECU took to the court last night at Minges Coliseum in a late game against CAA opponent Richmond.

NEW YORK (AP)�A quarter- century ago, the lives of Carlton Fisk and Tony Perez intersected on an October night at Fenway Park. Now they meet again, entering the Hall of Fame together. The pair, linked by home runs in perhaps the greatest World Se- ries ever, were elected to the Hall on Tuesday, wiping away the times they fell just short. "I'll be happy and proud to be standing up there in July at the same podium as he is Fisk said. Fisk is best remembered for waving his 12th-inning homer fair in Game 6 of the 1975 World Se- ries. Perez's two-run shot off Bill Lee the following night, which helped rally Cincinnati from a three-run deficit to the title, is largely overlooked. "It's sweet now, when I'm in. It doesn't matter how long I had to wait Perez said, who made it on his ninth try. "The first thing I thought of was calling my mother in Cuba. The family was there, too. They started jumping around. My mother was crying Fisk, who caught the most games in major league history (2,226) and hit a record 351 of 376 career home runs while playing the position, received 397 votes among the record 499 ballots cast by 10- year members of the Baseball Writ- ers' Association of America. Perez received 385 votes. To be elected, a player had to be listed on 375 ballots (75 percent). Fisk, who fell short by 43 votes last year in his first time on the ballot, received 79.6 percent and made it with 22 votes to spare. Perez, 71 votes shy last year when Nolan Ryan, George Brett and Robin Yount were chosen, got 77.2 percent and was elected with 10 votes to spare, becoming the first Cuban chosen by the BBWAA. And it could be an even bigger '75 reunion when induction cer- emonies are held. Fisk, who played from 1969-93, and Perez, active from 1964-86, will be inducted into the Hall at Cooperstown, N.Y on July 23. Sparky Anderson, who managed the Reds to Series titles in 1975 and '76, is a leading contender for election by the Veterans' Committee, which meets Feb. 29 at Tampa, Fla. "That would be something spe- cial, if I went in with Sparky at the same time Perez said. Fisk, who spent 11 seasons with the Boston Red Sox and 13 with the Chicago White Sox, acknowledged his Game 6 homer off Pat Darcy was his defining moment, especially for director Harry Coyle's reaction shot of his using every bit of body En- glish to wave the ball fair as it trav- eled down the left-field line. When it finally hit the foul pole for a home run, he jumped with his arms thrust in the air. "A lot of people who viewed that game realized we're all people and we run the full gamut of emotions, maybe even more intensely than the fans Fisk said. Cincinnati trailed 3-0 in the sixth inning the following night when Perez hit a two-run homer on Lee's blooper pitch.
