Sundial to "honor
past, imagine future"
Angela Harne
ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR
The City of Greenville's Mil-
lennium Committee has pro-
posed the concept of a large sun-
dial with a time capsule to carry
out the national millennium
theme "Honor the Past. 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.
"Based on our creative idea of
a capsule within a sundial we
were chosen Meredith said.
"It is fantastic that we were
chosen Kimble said. "We
sought out our mission and
reached our goal of being a mil-
lennium community

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.

tion said Bill Bagnell, assistant director
for Planning and Facilities. "This is the

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.

Construction traffic blocks roads on campus,

"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

Marshall encourages

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

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.

"The clerk and I were shocked,

store.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Permanent cosmetics painful choice
Dear Kditor,
On Oct. 12, 1999 1 received and read your article
"Permanent cosmetics growing in popularity from
TEC newspaper, issue 67.1 would like for you to know
that 1 enjoyed this article very much. 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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-

war in 1915 by

and blaming the

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

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.

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

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-

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. The aspects that will separate it
from the other phenomenal movies that were made in

NORRISTOWN, Pa. (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

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

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.

youth, he showed great interest in
acting and writing. Williamson de-
cided to makehis dream a reality as
he studied theater and film at ECU,
graduating with a bachelor of fine
arts degree in 1987. From there he
moved to New York to pursue a ca-
reer in acting, but after only a few
bit parts on TV and the stage, he
decided to try his hand at writing
and directing.
In 1996, Williamson was put on
the map of horror movies when he
released "Scream From there, he
created films such as "I Know
What You Did Last Summer
"Scream 2 "The Faculty" and "Kill-
ing Mrs. Tingle
Williamson is also responsible
for the popular teen drama
"Dawson's Creek which airs
Wednesday nights on the WB net-
work.
Williamson's contacts have in-
formed the university of his most
recent project, "Wasteland a
drama about the issues of a group
of recent college graduates who
move to New York. Word has it that
these characters will be based on
ECU alumni.

Ward came to ECU on a football
scholarship in hopes of majoring in
acting. With such a hectic football
schedule, he had to switch his ma-

1999, like "The Matrix" and
"American Pie"are the raw emo-
tion that is in the movie. Every-
thing is intense because the men
ccnd'jmned to die have a limited
life .span, the guards have to be on
edge to be effective in a high stress
environment and it continually
seems as if every character is on the
brink of pain or pleasure. Nothing
is watered down or muted for the
audience; it is all real and in- full �
color.
If you are looking for a way to
pass a couple of hours after the

Charlotte Hornets guard, Bobby Phills was
killed in a car accident around 11 a.m. Wednes-
day morning. Phils was driving home from the

nounced dead on the scene. ,
The 30-year-old Phills was in his seventh year
in the NBA. He attended Southern University and
is survived by his wife Kendall and their two chil-

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. Gailey is
the only Dallas Cowboy head coach not to lead
the team to a victory in the Super Bowl.
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.

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.

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.

Pirates to stay in
CAA next year
Teams will not be eligible for
conference championships
Stephen Schramm
SPORTS EDITOR
ECU'S imminent move from the Colonial Athletic
Association to Conference USA did not give many
people in the CAA a warm feeling, Now it may be ECU
that is left out in the cold.
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 are a little disappointed but we are happy to
have our CAA schedule intact and keep the quality com-

we have to shift our emphasis and try to make our team
worthy of an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament

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;

BASKETBALL
from page 10
Fisk, Perez in Baseball Hall of Fame
remainder of the game.
' 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.
"About the winning streak, we
weren't in school, we were about the
only people here Punt said, "just 13
individuals spending time and starting
to gel with the coach

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.
