BUTLER LEADS PIRATE SWIMMERS pg. 6 Senior co-captain is backbone of squad TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 1. 2000 TODAY'S WEATHER Sunny, high of 50� and a low of 30� Broad adds capital fees to student tab Money to be used for building maintenance Terra Steinbeiser NEWS EDITOR For the first time in the history of the UNC System, students will be paying an additional fee for the maintenance and upkeep of classroom buildings. UNC President Molly Broad made this proposal when the state legislature failed to grant the Gen- eral Assembly (GA) a requested $3 million construc- tion bond package last July. When the Board was denied the bond, it set the GA back in their goal to increase system en- rollment by 40,000 students by the year 2008. In order to make this a realistic goal it was decided early on that there would have to be vast improve- ments and additions to the facilities at each of the 16 campuses, especially in the residence hails, class- room buildings and science labs. Students will pay a100 capital improvements fee this fall, another $100 next year, and $75 in 2002. Some ECU students have expressed their dis- may at his new fee being tacked onto their educa- tion costs. "1 don't think they the Board of Governors! realize how much $100 is to a student said jun- ior Brad Davis "I can buy a month's worth of gro- ceries or a couple textbooks with that money Sophomore Bonnie Shepherd said she felt much the same way. "These school of- ficials just add on100 here, and $100 there, it really adds up Shepherd said. Students at North Carolina State University and University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, the two public research institu- tions in North Carolina, will pay the capital improvement fees plus an additional $200-a-year to keep faculty salaries competitive with those at research institu- tions across the country. Broad said that she has opposed student fee in- creases in past years, but with the denial of the construction bond package and the other finan- cial problems the state is facing because of the dam- age caused by Hurricane Floyd, she had no other choice. "The notion of putting this proposal forward is to acknowledge that we face an urgent situation Broad said in an earlier interview. "Extraordinary times require extraordinary measures said Brad Wilson, head of the BOG's budget and finance committee. Broad is working on another proposal for the state legislature that, if passed, will increase the amount of need-based financial aid that will be available in coming years. Broad has made other decisions regarding tu- ition increases as well. She did not recommend the $270 tuition increase at ECU that was approved by the ECU Board of Trustees, nor did she recom- mend support for increases at UNC-Charlotte and this proposd forward is tocKknowledgethat we face an urgent situation Molly Broad UNC SYSTEM PRESIDENT U N C - Wilmington. According to John Durham, ECU'S director of News and Information, the total in- creases recom- mended by Broad for ECU will raise un- dergraduate tuition and fees from $1,957 this year to $2,110 for the 2000-2001 school year.

Survey reveals how ECU students spend time Poll taken for benefit of students, faculty Why students miss class Maura Buck STAFF WRITER The Office of Research, As- sessment and Testing at ECU re- cently released the results of a student time use survey taken in April of 1998. According to Kris M. Smith, associate vice chancellor of the Division of Student Life, the sur- veys are conducted for multiple purposes. The surveys aid the university in understanding its students and gaining an aware- ness of student expectations. The survey also compares ECU to other public universities inside and outside of the state. "All research analyses and re- ports are done in aggregate Smith said. "That is to say that they are done as group informa- tion The survey revealed that stu- dents miss class 44 percent of the time due to oversleeping. Being sick came in second with 15 per- cent. Other reasons included be- ing too busy, simply not want- ing to attend class and being lazy. "From my experience, more and more students don't go to class simply because they are lazy said freshman Becca Starkey. "I think that a lot of times, students just don't want to admit it The second area that the sur- vey explored was the breakdown of students working by GPA, gen- der and class. The survey con- � v.Ws- � Laziness � Not wanting to attend D Too busy � Sickness � TiredOversleeping 'April 1998 time use survey conducted by the Office of Research, Assessment and Testing eluded that the majority of stu- dents that work maintain a B average. It showed more females hold jobs than males. According to class rank, the number of stu- dents holding jobs corresponds to class rank from senior to fresh- man. Senior Tameka I'ate said she believes that a student's GPA is dependent on their drive rather than their occupational status. "It all depends on your par- ticular major, motivation and the number of hours you not only carry in school but at work as well Pate said. The final area pertains to the socialization process. One area that surprised freshman Nicole Radcliffe was the percentage of males that reported socializing as compared to females. Sixty-one percent of males reported social- izing ten hours a week compared to 46 percent of females. "That's really surprising Radcliffe said. "I would have guessed that girls socialized a great deal more than guys The majority of students do not feel that their social lives af- fect their schoolwork. Sixty-two percent claim that their social life never interferes with their school obligations while 30 percent feel the opposite. "I would say that in the case of freshman, especially, social obligations greatly affect their school work said freshman Nick Chaplinski. "I think that between sports, frats and going out, it's hard to keep up for a freshman who is trying to meet people Dr. Peter Mather, associate dean of Student Development and the director of Research, As- sessment, and Testing, said he believes that these surveys are taken for the benefit of the stu- dents. "Our hope is that this infor- mation will help to shape better educational practices and poli- cies affecting students Mather said. In addition, it helps give fac- ulty and staff better insight as to what students do as well as how they spend their time. "Faculty and staff have per- ceptions about how students spend their time Smith said. "But we all know that perception isn't always reality. Therefore, we undertook the survey to check the accuracy of these perceptions and to educate the university community about how students really spend their time This writer can be contacted at mbuck@studentmedia.ecu.edu. Crocker named Law Officer of the Year ECU chief of police receives county award Heather Lewis STAFF WRITER eresa Crocker, chief of the ECU Police De- partment, was recently named Pitt County's Law Officer of the Year for 1999. The award is given annually to a law enforce- ment officer in Pitt County who has exhibited a commitment to his or her position and is out- standing in their department or field. Several candidates are nominated for the honor each year by various departments and the recipient is carefully selected from those. "This is a great honor for my department and for the university Crocker said. "It's a wonderful feeling any time people salute law enforcement Crocker, who has been the chief of police since November of 1993, said that she had reservations about accepting such a prestigious honor. "It was especially wonderful to get this award this year Crocker said. "Our department and many others worked hard during Hurricane Floyd and its aftermath. So many other people did so much during those trying times that I don't feel worthy to receive this honor The chief said she hopes that word of her and the department's accomplishments will encourage more enthusiastic and hard working officers to come and work for ECU'S police force. Many of the officers that work under Crocker have expressed their sup- port and pride in their chief. "I think it's terrific said Christy Smith, ECU police officer.

"In a world with only a few household names, Maya Angelou has become one Vice Chancellor Jim Langley said. "She is one of the most important voices in not only world literature, but also in mod- ern thinking Tesh Khullar, A.S. president, who headed the search for a gradu- ation speaker along with A.S. Pro grammer Scott Mantell, said he is pleased with Angelou's commit- ment and said he expects students to respond positively to her speech. "I am beyond happy right now Khullar said. "In my opinion this is one of the most important things that the A.S. Council) has done all year Langley originally set a deadline for last Monday at noon for the A.S. Council to find a speaker. That deadline was extended because Angelou's agent did not yet have an answer; Angelou confirmed early last week. Khullar said that everyone he has talked to is delighted about Angelou's involvement. "Now that it has been made of- ficial, I have heard nothing but positive comments from people he said. "Everyone is excited be- cause of the name of the speaker Langley said that the adminis- tration has budgeted $130,000 for this year's graduation. Angelou will receive $25,000 for speaking to the crowd. Langley said that with Angelou's fee, it will be a challenge to stay within the budget. He added that the campus may look for sponsor- ships to help fund the ceremony. ' Angelou spoke at R1MAC Arena last winter and was greeted with a sold-out crowd. Khullar was one of the individuals present in the audi- ence. ' "How quickly the show sold out speaks to her popularity he said. Duke University�Chilean President-elect Ricardo Lagos rose to political prominence during a 1988 television interview. Pointing his finger at the camera, the socialist politician became the first national figure to criticize publicly Gen. Augusto Pinochet, then-dictator of Chile. Lagos rose to academic distinc- tion in 1966, when he earned his doctorate in economics from Duke University. Those who studied alongside him remember a quiet and studious man few could have predicted would become the presi- dent of one of South America's most prosperous countries. When informed that Lagos won the presidency Jan. 16, William SchafferHKOnomics professor at the Georgia Institute of Technol- ogy�was shocked. A former Duke classmate of Lagos, Schaffer remem- bers the new president as a quiet gentleman. "Damnation! Who would have imagined?" said Schaffer, who graduated in 1967. "He was just an ordinary economics student when I knew him With his election, Lagos takes charge of a country in which 20 per- cent of the population lives below the poverty line. Additionally, his administration will be asked to re- form the 1990 constitution installed by Pinochet. Lagos came to Duke's econom- ics department on a scholarship in 1962. He planned to stay in Durham, N.C. only long enough to complete the year-long master's pro- gram, said Lagos' good friend and classmate Ghazi Duwaji, now an associate professor of economics at the University of Texas at Arlington. Eventually, a professor convinced both Duwaji and Lagos to apply for fellowships and stay three more years for their doctorates. Duwaji recalled that when Lagos came to Duke at age 24, he was a Marxist, but by the time the Chil- ean left Duke, he was a more prag- matic socialist. Nuclear secrets mistakenly disclosed WASHINGTON (AP)�The government's aggressive push five years ago to declassify historic pa- pers led to about 1,000 documents containing nuclear weapons secrets to be mistakenly declassified, the Clinton administration told Con- gress. While the nuclear weapons documents were inadvertently opened to researchers, only one of the files�on nuclear weapons de- ployment in foreign countries in the 1950s�was actually examined by any outsiders before the mistakes were discovered, the Department of Energy said in a report. � The papers were among millions of pages that were declassified be- tween 1995 and 1998 under an ex- ecutive order from President Clinton directing federal agencies to lift the veil of secrecy from docu- ments that are more than 25 years old. The openness campaign was widely applauded as an effort to re- verse decades of secrecy about the nuclear weapons programs at the old Atomic Energy Commission and about a variety of events from the Vietnam War and UFO research to the failed Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba. The declassification effort is ex- pected to cover about a billion pages before it is completed in a few years. The classified report sent to Con- gress just before Christmas details the findings of a Department of Energy (DOE) audit of some 948,000 pages of nuclear weapons-related documents that had been part of the three-year declassification effort. During the review, auditors found that 14,890 pages containing secret weapons information were mistakenly declassified and made available for public view at the Na- tional Archives, according to an unclassified summary of the report. The material covers "about 1,000 documents many of which originated in the old Atomic Energy Commission but had been trans- ferred to other agencies and declas- sified there, said a DOE official, who spoke on condition of not being identified further.

Wave of school violence in France keeps some schools closed BONDY, France (AP)�At the Jean Zay Junior High, in a troubled neighborhood outside of Paris, � students huddled Tuesday in the freezing morning darkness, locked out of school for yet another day by angry parents and teachers demanding an end to school violence. "My son is in his final year here, and I don't want ,to have to come pick him up from the infirmary or ,the hospital said Marie Cuillerat, 38, who was blocking the school's doors with other determined parents. The school has been shut down for a week. After a wave of vicious attacks swept through Jean Zay and other French schools in recent weeks, France's education minister is expected to announce on Thursday a series of measures, mainly financial, aimed at curbing the violence committed by chil- dren. But many discouraged teachers, parents and even students say far deeper changes may be needed to remedy a complex, long-ignored problem. Schools from the northern town of Roubaix to Montpellier in the south have closed their doors re- cently to protest rising levels of violence. Some are still closed. Reports of brutal school tortures surfaced last week when junior high school students were accused of attempted murder for catapulting an 11-year-old boy over a railing. The child survived but suffered a broken arm after falling 10 feet. In another case, a vocational school student claimed three fellow classmates burned him with hot irons and cigarettes. At Jean Zay, students set off handmade bottle bombs in the corridors, torched a gasoline-soaked door and attacked a classroom monitor; "Students came to us and said, 'We're afraid said Pascal Fournier, a history teacher at the school in the working class suburb of Bondy.

Please, you're going to make us work longer hours to pay to school, we'd like to at least be bankrolling an education OURVIEW How come every time we look around tuition fees are raised? The newest $270 fee increase proposed by university departments was sup- posed to enhance funding for, among other things, the unendingly open palm of the athletic department (big surprise). When this plan was pre- sented to our SGA, it was immediately denied. But, instead of listening to the advice of our elected student voice, for the first time in history the chancellor went around the SGA and had the proposal approved by the Board of Trustees anyway. This plan was then sent to Molly Broad, president of the UNC school system, who said she rejected it because she deemed the raise excessive. However, this was not done out of her good benevolent heart and deep respect for poor college kids. Broad rejected the hike in favor of her own increase of $100 for all UNC schools to "help maintain the buildings and structures Now the question arises, to what extent can we fairly burden our students until their financial backs begin to break? Our fellow universities, NC State and UNC Chapel Hill, will even be charged a whopping additional J200 to help keep employee salaries "com- petitiveat least a more noble reason. It seems our administrators judg- ment as to the monetary troubles college students face has become clouded by their six-figure paychecks. The $100 that has been added is much more money than the 'powers that be' realize. Weren't these people college students at one time? This money can be spent for much better purposes: What about parking? What about extending the hours for the library? One-hundred dollars could easily buy a college student's groceries and gas money for a month, not to mention allow one to treat oneself to a dozen Krispy Kreme doughnuts on his or her birthday. Wake up and smell the coffee boys and girls-we're here to learn not to make sure that the floors in GCB have no nicks and cracks. Please, if you're going to make us work longer hours to pay to school, we'd like to at least be bankrolling an education. OPINION COLUMN I Maybe Internet advertisers should get drunk Ryan Kennemur SENIOR WRITER Howdy folks! This is something that has bothered Tie for some time now�even more so now, seeing how I the quintessential opinion columnist, am affected y it. In fact, you might say that I'm a part of it. Yep, 'm talking about the commercials. Now, don't get me wrong. This topic could never )e shown any justice in just one short, little opinion :olumn. No, it deserves an entire series, each part de- rated to one aspect that needs to be evaluated exten- iively. But you know what, good people? I'm going to iefy the odds and cover the whole thing in just one. Isn't it strange how they (advertising people) get mch inappropriate, famous people to endorse their aroducts? I'm not talking about the new Wilfred jiimley life insurance commercial. His blood has been �eplaced with enough Quaker Oatmeal to help him esist death's collapsing grip for the next decade. But so many times these ads make the celebrities ook like they're so desperate that they would've prob- ably done it for free just to get their face back on televi- sion. Having Tony Danza and that choad who married Courtney Cox tell me what number to dial for long distance is just enough to make me remember how annoying they were when they were actually in the spotlight. And George Jefferson is not going to make me wear "performance" fleece pullovers. Also, after watching yesterday's Super Bowl (like there's one for each day), I have come to a couple of pretty sharp conclusions. The first one is that Internet people truly have the sense of humor of a stuck pig. So many techie companies spent two million big ones for thirty seconds of boring sorryness. This is because these people sit in front of a computer screen all day won- dering about the next big virus (thought I assume STDs never have to cross their mind) and how many chain letters and forwards to send to Sir Hacks-a-lot. The beer advertisers, on the other hand, have got something going for them. All they have to do to come up with a good commercial is sit around for a few hours sampling their product. Think about it. Would a sober person come up with a commercial featuring a dog talk- ing about the beer that he gives his master? Would a sober person come up with the Bud-weis-errr frogs and the little Joe Pesci-esque iguana who fights with the ferret? Would a sober person come up with the pen- guin that says "Doo-be-doo-be-doo?" I think you get the point. Granted, these advertise- ments don't make me want to go out and buy their products, but at least they are clever. Now if you'll ex- cuse me, I have to eat some oatmeal.

I know our generation of Abercrornbie- uniformed drones don't seem concerned with any sort of national news, (unless it's on "Total Request Live" or printed on the label of a beer bottle) so I'll give you the Cliff's Notes. Group of Cuban migrants head to America in shoddy raft. Raft sinks. Only survivor is a small boy. Coast Guard saves boy from sea. Boy not returned to Cuba like the other tens of thousands of refugees. Col- umnist wonders why this guy is so special. I mean, I thought this thing was really cut and dry. United States laws state that unless a refugee lands on the coast of the US, they must be returned to their coun- try of origin. But for some reason, someone insists on keeping him here even though he still has a father liv- ing in Cuba. I don't see why he is any different than anybody else who has been returned to Cuba. The U.S. Coast Guard interdicts thousands of illegal migrants every year in make shift rafts, and they're returned. Now we have a dilemma. Why are we choosing some migrants over others? I thought one of the main beliefs in American society is equal treatment under the law. Is Elian more aesthetically pleasing than other mi- grants? Is a cute 6-year-old kid better than an ugly 12- year-old? Are we just using this little boy as some pawn in a political chess match? Probably. I think the US just loves to get back at Cuba for that whole missile crisis thing. So, where do I stand? I say send him home. This poor kid can't take a crap without somebody taking a picture of him, and if I were a father, I could never forgive a country that was holding my kid hostage. He's being held here by re-election-wary congress- man who are using him mostly for political gains and propaganda. If we are going to give refuge to one mi- grant, we should give refuge to them all. It's not fair to everybody else. This writer can be contacted at skleinschmit&studentmedia. ecu. edu. LETTER TO THE EDITOR Downtown club owners need to reconsider policies Dear Editor, I am writing in response to the article written in Our View, Jan. 20, 2000, discussing racial bias in down- town clubs. Even though 1 am a minority student, I have never faced the issue of being discriminated against because of the color of my skin, until I went downtown one weekend. The excuse the club managers came up with was that you had to be dressed in an appropriate man- ner to be let into the club. Well, 1 know for a fact that is just not true. One Saturday night, my girlfriends and I went to The Cellar. We were all dressed nicely. We stood in line for like 20 minutes only, to be turned away at the door. The excuse was that we needed membership to enter the club that night. Wert they afraid that we were go- ing to cause trouble? Really, what can three girls no taller than five-feet-four-inches do? I would like to respond to what Leigh Richards said: "If you want to be let in, then dress and act in an ap- propriate manner because if you don't respect yourself it's a safe bet you will not receive any respect or special treatment from the doormen Well, what happens when you dress and act in an appropriate manner and are still turned away? I am a firm believer in That you have to give respect before you can receive respect. But in a one-minute conversation with the doorman, how can he determine if you are being respectful if you re- ally don't say anything to them? How can you say that it is a privilege to be allowed into a public place? It's a right guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States. Discrimination is partiality or bias, in the treatment of a person or group, which is unfair and illegal. Maybe people don't realize what they are doing or saying is considered discrimination. So my advice to everyone is to think before you speak so you can avoid saying or doing something you'll regret later. As we all know, the courts in our nation seriously frown upon discrimination. Maybe when some of the club owners end up being sued over their employees' bad judgments, they'll change their policies. Marjorie Gibbs cepted an invitation to, and visited Israel and Jordan.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR ECU buses need to get on the road Dear Editor: For a school that's trying to become a pedestrian campus, the transit system sure needs some improve- ment. Don't get me wrong�I've been happily riding the bus for all my years at ECU, but this semester has gotten off to a bad start. The Purple line in particular seems to have punctuality issues. I am frequently waiting outside for 10-15 minutes after its supposed arrival time. And it always seems to be on those days when it's 30 degrees outside. I under- stand delays are expected when there's ice on the roads, but this has happened on many snow-free days. Speak- ing of snow, how can we even be expected to go to class when the buses are 45 minutes off-schedule? A couple of Fridays ago I was waiting for the Purple line at Mendenhall at about 5:15. I'd had a horrible day and just wanted to get home, but the bus was late. I kept waiting and waiting, thinking it would come any minute, but it never did. After 45.minutes, I asked another bus driver where it was, and he informed me that Purple was in the garage and wouldn't be running again until Monday. I was already frozen from stand- ing there, and then I had to deal with finding a ride home! All I want is for the buses to be on schedule. Maybe that's too much to ask of ECU, but if they want stu- dents to quit driving and start using the bus service, they need to improve it. If that means getting more buses, then so be it. I think enough parking tickets are issued to fund the purchase of an additional bus or two. The transit system needs to address these issues with their drivers, if that's where the problems lie. And I didn't even touch on the issue of overcrowding! Mimosa Mallernee Senior, Art Major 4 The East Carolinian www.tec.ecu.edu FEATURES Tuesday, Feb. 1,2000 Tuesday, Feb. www.jec.ecu.� FEATURES BRIEFS Famous African-Americans Frederick Douglass (1817-1895) The most prominent African-Ameri- can orator, Journalist and antislavery leader of the 19th century. Douglass, an escaped slave, campaigned for the end of slavery and published three versions of his autobiography. In these works, he de- scribed his experiences as a slave in the South and as a fugi- tive in the North. He also depicted life as a free black before the American Civil War and his rise to national prominence during and after the war. Later in life he continued to work for full civil rights for blacks and held several government positions. Booker I. Washington (1856-1915) Born on April 5,1856, Washington was an American educator who urged blacks to attempt to uplift themselves through educational attainments and economic advancement. In 1879, he be- came an instructor at Hampton Insti- tute, where he helped to organize a night school and was in charge of the industrial training of 75 American-Indians. ' In 1895, in Atlanta, Ga Washington made his famous compromise speech. In this address he urged blacks to accept their inferior social position for the present and to strive to raise themselves through vocational training and economic self-reliance. Malcolm X (1925-1965) Malcolm X, later known also by the religious name El- Hall Malik El-Shabbazz, was an African- American activist. His militant views that Western nations were inherently racist and that black people must join together to build their own society and value system had an important influence on black nationalist and black separatist movements of the 1950s and 1960s. His beliefs gained a broader audience through "The Autobiography of Malcolm X" (1965), published after his as- sassination. George Washington Carver (1864-1943) Carver was an American educator and an outstanding innovator in the ag- ricultural sciences. Following his gradu- ation in 1894 from Iowa State College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts, Carver Joined the college faculty and continued his studies, specializing in bacteriological laboratory work in sys- tematic botany. Carver developed sev- eral hundred industrial uses for peanuts, sweet potatoes and soybeans and developed a new type of cotton known as Carver's hybrid. His discoveries induced southern farmers to raise other crops in addition to cotton. He also taught meth- ods of soil improvement. Langston Hughes (1902-1967) This American writer is known for the use of jazz and black folk rhythms in his poetry. James Mercer Langston Hughes was bom In Joplin, Mo and educated at Uncoln University in Pennsylvania. In 1925, his literary skills were discovered after he left three of his poems beside the plate of American poet Vachel Lindsay, who recognized Hughes's abilities and helped publicize Hughes's work In the 1920s, when he lived in New York City, he was a prominent figure during the Harlem Renaissance and was referred to as the Poet Laureate of Harlem. His innovations in form and voice influenced many black writers. Sojoumer Truth (circa 1797-1883) � American abolitionist and advocate of women's rights, Truth was bom into slavery in Hurley, Ulster Couhty, N.Y and originally named Isabella. A mystic who heard voices she believed to be God's, she arrived in New York City in 1829, where she preached in the streets. In 1843, obeying her voices, she took the name Sojourner Truth and went preaching along the eastern seaboard. Encountering the women's rights movement in 1850, she also added its causes to hers. During the American Civil War she also solicited gifts for black volunteer regiments. Maya Angelou (1928) ' American author, poet and entertainer, Angelou is best known for her portrayals of strong African-American women. Much of Angelou's writing stresses the themes of courage, perseverance, self-acceptance and realization of one's full potential. In her works she frequently presents strong female role models. Angelou read her poem "On the Pulse of Morning" at the inaugu- ration of President Bill Clinton in January 1993. She has received many awards and honorary degrees, including Grammy Awards (1994 and 1996) for her recordings of her poetry on the al- bums "On the Pulse of Morning" (1993) and "Phenomenal Woman (1995). In 1998 Angelou made her directing debut with the release of the motion picture "Down in the Delta Mary Bethune McLeod (1875-1955) McLeod was an American educator, bom in Mayesville, S.C and educated, at Scotia Seminary and the Moody Bible Institute. She taught school in Florida and Georgia from 1897 to! 1903, and in 1904 she founded the Daytona Educational and Industrial Training School for Negro Girls (now Bethune- Gokman College). Harriet Tubman (1820-1913) Tubman was an African-American who fled slavery and then guided run- away slaves to freedom in the North for more than a decade before the Ameri- can Civil War. During the war, she served as a scout, spy and nurse for the United States Army. In later years she continued to work for the rights of blacks and women. Black History Month creates educational opportunities Ice c African-American accomplishments recognized Jennifer Brown STAFF WRITER American People. In 1926, the second week of Febru- ary nationally became known as Black History Week. This week was chosen to include the birthday of Fredrick Douglas and Abraham Lincoln. In 1976, it was changed to include the entire month of February Black History Month was started to educate people on the contributions and history of African-Americans. February was designated as Black History month in 1976. This month is intended to be a time that the ac- complishments, contributions and successes of African Ameri- cans are reognized. Black History Month has been a part of the cur- riculum for chil- dren since it was initiated in 1976. During Black History Month, school-age children focus on the contributions of African-Americans, such as Fredrich Douglass and George Washington Carver. The teachers let the elementary students draw pictures of these people to hang in the halls. The local middle and high schools feature one African-American person in the afternoon announcements every day in Febru- ary. "Carter G.

Dry ASSISTANT FEATURES EDITOR As the curtain is drawn and the actors take their final bows, thunderous applause resonate throughout the theater. The per- formance was a great success. But wait�everything that was seen on stage did not just appear magically. Productions take a lot of preparation in order to become what the audience sees on open- ing night. "There is an equal and perhaps a greater number of people that the audience) never sees that are working behind the scenes said Ken White, lighting and sound di- rector. The production aspect of Macbeth is broken up into differ- ent sections which is overseen by five individuals who are working together to make this play set in Scotland come to life According to costume designer Jeffery Phipps, it is a collaborative art in which all of the designers come together to create this idea. "It's important that we all communicate Phipps said. The seed of development be- gan when director John Shearin started envisioning what he wanted to see on stage. He wanted something that emphasized de- cay, rot and decadence. "The idea of 'Macbeth meets Swamp Thing' was kicked around a little White said. But the main inspiration for the final idea came from an expe- rience very close to home. White said during the time when Shearin was searching for the look for Macbeth, Hurricane Floyd had just Neil Williamson cuts plywood to construct the set. Macbeth sets, pictured above, were designed and built in a process that took months. The show will run for only six days, (photos by Paul Coenen) hit. The wet, dank and dark look was on everyone's mind. "The particular look we went with is related to the flood Shearin said. "I noticed how every- thing looked after the water re- ceded and thought if I put this look in twilight, it would be really scary Once the idea was planted, Shearin got the ball rolling by con- tacting scenic designer Bob Alpers to draw up the plans. The two worked together to decide what the production should accomplish, how it should look and how they want to use the stage. "Shakespeare is always fun to design because he is poetry and he gives you a lot of leeway on how to interpret it Alpers said. One comment that Shearin made to Alpers was that it should vaguely mimic the Elizabethan stage. With all of these thoughts in "mind, Alpers conducted research to find the precise look, coming across Celtic and Scottish pict ruins. "That was the kind of look John was describing Alpers said. Sketches began in the middle of October and Alpers had a basic model and draft done the first week in November. This is unusual for the Playhouse because designs usu- ally begin the same semester of the production. Since Floyd came through, the second show of the season was canceled and prepara- tions for Macbeth ensued. Alpers took the "blue prints" to technical director Leonard Darby, who oversees the construction of the scenery. Once Darby looks at the designs, he calculated what it would take to make this project work. He does some of his own technical drawing consisting of the construction of the set. "Bob draws what the audience See MACBETH, page 5 Groundhog Day celebrated in Punxatawney Hundreds make trip to Gobbler's Knob Jennifer Brown STAFF WRITER "I'm dreaming of the Great Groundhog, just like I do this time each year when he brings nice weather, and brings us together to wait for him to appear sing many groundhog groupies as they make the trek to Gobbler's Knob annually. Every year, Punxatawney, Penn. goes all out for the little rodent who peeks at his shadow. The myth surrounding the Groundhog Day celebra- tion is that one groundhog, also known as Punxatawney Phil, predicts whether or not the winter will continue. If he comes out of his hole and sees his shadow, it scares him and he retreats back into his hole. This means six more weeks of bad weather are to come. If Phil doesn't see his shadow, it means that spring is on its way. The first Groundhog Day was held in 1886 and can be traced back to the Germans who were the first set- tlers of Pennsylvania. They used the groundhog to pre- Groundhogs kiss for the camera, (photos from the World Wide Web) diet what their crops were going to be like for the next month and a half. There have been 98 years where he saw his shadow, 14 where he didn't see his shadow and nine where no records were kept. Today, Groundhog Day is a highly publicized event that hundreds of people from all over the coun- try come to see. The 1993 movie, "Groundhog Day starring Bill Murray heightened the interest of groundhog followers everywhere. According to the Groundhog Day Web site, "In the years following the release of the movie, record crowds numbering as high as 30,000 have visited Gobbler's Knob in Punxsutawney Phil the groundhog also appeared on the "Oprah Winfrey" show in 1995.

So were the guests, who had to sit on frozen chairs at fro- zen tabj.es (with frozen fruit bowls and iced bouquets) as icy chefs tolled over giant ice pots, atop stoves made of�what else�ice. Welcome to Manhattan's very own Ice Cafe. The chilly cafe at Rockefeller Plaza was con- structed�for view on Thursday only�to promote Win- ter Restaurant Week, from Jan. 31 through Feb. 4, when more than 80 of the city's top restaurants freeze lunch prices at $20 for a three-course prix fixe menu. "One year we did a tower of bagels; we did the world's largest iced tea publicist Melanie Young said as she huddled in layers of wool near the ice lattice- work marking the entrance to the cafe. "We always come up with something larger than life. And because it's winter we wanted to do something with ice.

The inspiration was the Ice Hotel in Jukkasjaervi, Swedergrwhich is made of entirely of snow and ice. The weather in Manhattan, which stayed well be- low freezing, perfectly suited the concept -carved from 6 tons of ice. But there were glitches. Although the strawberries and cream at each place- setting looked fresh, the blush champagne resembled frozen strawberry shakes. "This is totally new to us said Kay Nelson of the Convention and Visitors Bureau, which organized the program complete with icy launch. "The blush cham- pagne froze. And one of the glasses actually broke and expanded because of the cold "It was our first try at an ice restaurant noted Vic- tor Modic of IceArt in Cedar Grove, N.J which de- signed the cafe.

"The tables weren't too bad, but the lattice work on the side, that was technically very challenging to put together with- out breaking it. "The chefs were pretty difficult too, with the facial features and making sure that they look like somebody The two toiling ice chefs featured big bushy eye- brows and mustaches, crisp-looking toques and pro- fessional kitchen-wear�all in ice.

During Prohibition, Phil threatened to impose 60 weeks of winter on the community if he wasn't allowed a drink. In 1958 Phil announced that it was a "United States Chucknrkrather than a Soviet Sputnik or Muttnik that became the first man-made satellite to orbit Earth. In 1981, Phil wore a yellow ribbon in honor of the American hostages in Iran. Phil met Pennsylva- nia Governor Dick Thomburg in 1987, the same year he met with President Reagan in the Oval Office. Freshman Stephanie Suber said that although she doesn't really believe his predictions, she can't help but watch the event. "It's everywhere�on the news, Internet Suber said. "Groundhog Day is a quirky event our society rev- els in for some strange reason�I guess it's just an Ameri- can thing Even though the Germans started the tradition, Groundhog Day began in the United States and no other countries seem to have anything similar to it. "I know that France does not have a similar tradi- tion said Dj. Fredric Fladenmuller, a professor in the foreign language department. "I think it is mainly an American celebration, although Canada does recognize it sees from the front and I draw what you would see if you were standing in the back Darby said. From there, Darby consults with his crew, mainly made up of students, to begin the building process. "All of the scenery seen on stage is built by stu- dents Darby said. "It's a part of their learning According to Darby, stu- dents on average work about 40 hours per week on the set. "There's a lot of Styrofoam, paints and tex- tures being used to create the dark look Darby said. � "When the audience walks in we want them to smell moss, Mood (and) a sense of eeriness within the space Alpers said. While the scenes are be- ing designed, Shearin began discussing costume designs with Phipps. Since the play takes place in the 11th cen- tury, this affected how the style of the clothing looked. To go along with the dark theme of the production, the look they wanted for the cos- tumes was rugged, heavy and reminiscent of dried blood. "We did a lot.of shopping for fabrics, but it was a chal- lenge due to the limited re- sources here in Greenville Phipps said. So Phipps visited local cities Raleigh, Wilson and Goldsboro for the right fab- ric. According to Phipps, this show has approximately 30 characters, each with at least one costume change. Once the characters were casted, he had a better idea of what to look for. "We started fittings (recently) Phipps said. "We go through about two to three fittings before they are ready to go on stage "Lighting is the last thing to join the party White said. After seeing a fun-through of the play, White can now determine where to place the lighting instrument to get the optimum effect. "Macbeth is a world of contrast White said. "This was a time period, before electricity so there is a lot of primal forces in play. Light is coming directly from somewhere and is casting deep, long shadows But as the last item to be added to the production, lighting work is never truly complete before the show. "Up until the moment of the final dress rehearsal the night before opening, it's all subject to change� ' it's kind of exciting White said. Sound will also play a big role in Macbeth. White said they are go: ing full out on this pro- duction. They are pursu- . ing the atmospheric sounds such as storms, wind and battle sounds; and also musical inter- ludes. "The musical inter ludes will be during the transitions of scenes, White said. "Either to comment on the scene that just happened or to foreshadow on scenes that are about to hap- pen All of the technical aspects of the produce tion will come together on Feb. 5. According to Shearin, the technicians will go through the en- tire show without the ac- tors. He enjoys seeing his ideas come to life with the assistance of the other directors. "That's the whole beauty of the collabora- tive aspect of theater Shearin said. "A direc- tor can. have an idea and, if it's presented in the right way, then what the designers will come back with is better when what the director had in his mind's eye.

In addition to scoring points rn the freestyle, Butler is regarded as the dynamo behind this season's 9-1 team. Butler, who will be graduating next fall with a de- gree in science education, is in the top 10 all rime in all but one category of freestyle swimming. "She is probably our most decorated freestyler in our Lady Pirate swim history; she ranks in the top ten in the 100, 200, 500, 1,000 and 1,650 top ten all time said Head Coach Rick Kobe. Butler, who was born in Palm Beach, Fla but grew up in Camden, S.C for nine years before moving to Kinston N.C is a hard worker and a coach's delight. "She is very easy to coach Kobe said. "Swimming is hard; you swim up and down the pool for four hours a day. She ivorks hard and reajly gets after it. "She is a very likable person, very reliable in- prac- tice and is always a tough swimmer in our duel meets and our championship meet.

Add in lifting weights for one hour, three days a week and one starts to see the kind of work it takes to make it. "Through the years, all I've thought about is working hard and doing the best that I can Butler said. "When you're out of the wa- ter after a race and you feel like you hadn't worked to your potential, you really have to ask yourself why you are doing it at all. If not to show yourself what you can do, why then are you doing it for other people?" As a captain, she has carried herself in a way that makes people around her comfortable and confi- dent, leading not just by example but also through encouraging words. "She is a positive person, she never says anything bad about the other girls, she has a good relation- ship with everybody on the team said teammate Mike Julian. "She is very approachable always talking to people. She is not a quiet person "She is a really good leader, she really knows how to get the team on task said teammate Samantha Perry. "She always keeps us motivated. She is very goal- oriented a'nd wants us to do well as a team.

"I was in the hospital for ten days last year with a blood clot and she came to visit me Perry said. "It's not like she had to, so the fact that she did that really meant a lot to me.

Butler has been engaged since the day after Christmas to her boyfriend, Will Best. Butler, who changed her major from marine biology to science education this year, plans to teach school after graduation. "The only thing I ever wanted to do in my life was make a difference Butler said.

Rams defeat Titans 23-16 in Super Bowl ATLANTA (AP)�This was why they invented the Super Bowl. This one had long touchdowns, record-setting per- formances, courageous comebacks and a thrilling fin- ish. Nobody could have asked for more than the St. Louis Rams and Tennessee Titans supplied Sunday. That the Rams held on�by inches�for a 23-16 vic- tory didn't necessarily make the Titans losers. Each team could leave the Georgia Dome with pride. "It was a fight to the finish said Rams' receiver Isaac Bruce, who caught the 73-yard game-winning pass from Kurt Warner just 18 seconds after the Titans over- came a 16-0 deficit to tie it. "It was one of the best games I've ever played in. I am just proud to be part of this As were the Titans, who fell just short when Kevin Dyson was tackled by linebacker Mike Jones at the 1- yard line as time ran out. "To come this far and be a half-yard short is just a sick feeling Dyson said. "But this team leaves here winners inside They weren't winners on the scoreboard because Jones made a classic tackle on the final play. It was the last of a super series of second-half plays providing a scintillating finish. "I said, 'This time, no matter who it is, I can't let him in the end zoneJones said. We got a chance to win this game. Get him on the ground "They've got the hearts of warriors Jones said. . "They were down 16-0, and a lot of teams would have tucked tail At the end, all of these warriors were worn out. The Rams' defenders barely could stand, and the Titans' attackers were just as wobbly. "Football is the most emotional roller coaster you can be on Dyson said. "It leaves you with nothing left emotionally Tennessee could do nothing in the first half, which the Rams dominated. St. Louis gained 294 yards to 89 for the Titans. The Rams ran 44 plays to 24 for Tennes- see. League MVP Kurt Warner, who also won the game's Most Valuable Player award, already had 19 comple- tions and 270 yards. But it was1 just 9-0 on Jeff Wilkins' field goals of 27, 29 and 28 yards. Every time the Rams, whose 526 points � were the third-highest in league history, got near the end zone, they couldn't get it in. "We were getting points, but we knew we had to get the ball in the end zone said Bruce, who would make six catches for 162 yards. "We couldn't win with just field goals I111MBI1MB Hh'fli"3k Sm St. Louis' Mike James tackled the Titans' Kevin Dyson on the one-yard line to clinch the Rams' first Super Bowl title (photo from the World Wide Web) They stopped kicking for points on their first drive of the second half, when Warner found rookie lorry Holt for a 9-yard score. The touchdown came three plays after safety Blaine Bishop was carted off the field with a neck injury. He later returned to the Dome after going to the hospital for X-rays, which were negative. St. Louis (16-3), a city that never had a pro football champion, was up 16-0 and looking at a potential rout. Finally, Steve McNair and Eddie George got on track for the Titans (16- 4), who took the difficult wild-card route to their first Super Bowl. McNair engineered a 12-play, 66-yard drive that included a 23- yard run to the St. Louis 2-yard line. George scored from the 1-yard line, but a 2-point pass went behind Frank Wycheck. Emboldened, the titans forced a Rams punt for the first time, and George scored on a magnificent 2-yard run on which he broke three tackles. Suddenly, it was 16-13, and when the Rams once more went 3-and-out, Tennessee was in charge. "In the second half, the guys buckled down and made things happen said McNair, who showed no signs of a painful toe injury that has plagued him for the last month. They had to make things happen one more time to � even things, and thanks to Mike Horan's 30-yard punt, they did. Al Del Greco made a 43-yard field goal with 2:12 to go, and the first overtime in Super Bowl history seemed likely. Then again, the Rams don't believe in the prob- able. After all, this was a team that went 5-11 and 4-12 in coach Dick Vermeil's first two seasons following a 14-year hiatus. This was a team quarterbacked by a former Arena League and NFL Europe player wh"o pnce stocked shelves in a supermarket. And this was a team that has struck quickly quite frequently this season. So why not win a Super Bowl that way? "Isaac is our go-to guy said Warner, who set a Su- per Bowl record with 414 yards passing. "He's made big plays for us all year and we knew he could make another one Warner came back for a deep pass that was a bit short. Cornerback Denard Walker fell as he tried to go for Bruce, leaving an alley that Bruce sped down for the winning touchdown with 1:54 remaining. Tennessee, of course, had other ideas. And McNair got the Titans as close as possible to overtime. He led them from their 12 to the Rams 10 with time for one play. That play was the in-cut to Dyson, who stretched and stretched, but couldn't reach the goal line. "You just want to get them down any way possible Jones said. "First you think, 'Lock this guy up and then get him down I stood up and looked at the clock and time was out, and I knew we were Super Bowl champi- ons "You dream of making an interception or a sack, � not necessarily a tackle to win the game Jones said. "But we'll take that. Without a doubt, it's the.tSggest play of my career. It won a Super Bowl on the last play Braves' Rocker suspended for racial, ethnic remarks NEW YORK (AP) �John Rocker was suspended until May 1 by base- ball commissioner Bud Selig on Monday for racial and ethnic re- marks that "offended practically every element of society The Atlanta Braves' reliever also was fined, $20,000 and ordered to undergo sensitivity training for dis- paraging foreigners, homosexuals and minorities in a magazine inter- view. The players' union said it in- tends to fight the ruling. "Major league baseball takes se- riously its role as an American in- stitution and the important social responsibility that goes with it Selig said. "We will not dodge our respon- sibility. Mr. Rocker should under- stand that his remarks offended practically every element of society and brought dishonor to himself, the Atlanta Braves and major league baseball. The terrible example set by Mr. Rocker is not what our great game is about and, in fact, is a pro- found breach of the social compact we hold in such high regard The players' association said it expects to file a grievance over the penalty, believed to be the longest against a baseball player for an ac- tion not related to drug use since Lenny Randle of Texas got 30 days in March 1977 for punching his manager, Frank Lucchesi. "1 do not believe it is appropri- ate that I should be harshly disci- plined for my misguided speech un- accompanied by any conduct on my part Rocker said in a statement released by his agents. "I have pre- viously apologized for my unfor- tunate remarks and stand by my apology A grievance would force the matter before Shaym Das, the sport's new independent arbitra- tor. "We have been in consultation with Mr. Rocker and it is our present intention to appeal said Gene Orza, the union's No. 2 offi- cial. "It is literally unprecedented to impose a penalty on a player for pure speech, offensive though the speech may be. That, coupled with the magnitude of the penalty, just as unprecedented, makes us opti- mistic about the outcome of the appeal With the season to start April 3, the suspension technically is to last 28 days. A suspension will not affect his salary, expected to be between $200,000 and $300,000. "It really is about what I antici- pated happening Braves general manager John Schuerholz said of the penalty. The 25-year-old pitcher was barred from joining the Braves at spring training. A high-ranking baseball official, speaking on the condition he not be identified, said the commissioner's office did not want Rocker to report with other Braves' pitchers and catch- ers, thus minimizing the number of media descending on Kissimmee, Fla when camp opens Feb. 17. Rob Manfred, baseball's executive vice president for labor relations, dis- puted that, saying it was not a factor. Braves president Kasten said he hoped Rocker will not appeal. "I hope we can separate the legal ramifications from John personally Kasten said. "It's most important to get through this thing and get through it successfully. That's much more important than winning a couple of days ZH- Rocker's comments drew a strong response from Braves executive Hank! Aaron and civil rights groups. Several Braves players have said they expect Rocker to have a difficult time when: See ROCKER, page 7 at trt n flM v Iiesofay, Feb. 1, 2000 v.tec.ecu.edu SPORTS The East Carolinian 7 sports@studentmedia.ecu.edu he is very goal- m.

But with the right effort and the right attitude, I hink it's possible The, pitcher, whose fine will go to groups that promote diversity, was prderedby Selig on Jan. 6 to undergo psychological tests, but the results of thqsejests have not been disclosed. Katefl and Schuerholz met about two weeks ago with seven senior lembers of the NL champions. "T.bJf.cpnsensus in that room was that while they believed John should ! punished in some fashion, they were willing to give him a second chance as a teammate Schuerholz said.

"I don't think we ought to hold it against him forever Turner said.
