This program takes place once a year and offers the dis- abled lessons, equipment and new friends. According to Terry Edwards, program assistant for A- Rise, this is the second year that ECU has attended the clinic, and they plan on making it a tradi- tion. "We attended this program last year, along with the univer- sities of Georgia and Virginia Edwards said. "The coordinators of the program were so impressed with our students and volunteers that they invited us back for many years to come Edwards said that an anony- mous donor gave the A-Rise pro- gram $1000 to help with the ex- penses to make a trip back to Ski Beech Resort. "We were excited to make the trip again Edwards said. "The clinic is supported by the Atlanta Chapter of Disabled Sports of the USA, and they promised A-Rise yearly donations to make the trip possible According to Edwards, two volunteers attended this year. "Usually the volunteers who attend are recreation leisure ma- jors Edwards said. "The volun- teers mainly help the students Mark Janac and Shawn Hessee were the two students who attended the clinic. "This clinic was offered to the university at a price of $250 per student Edwards said. "Thanks to the donor, disabled students attended for free. Students got specialized equipment and les- sons. They were able to ski Tues- day through Friday John Brown, coordinator of the adventure program, said in a past interview that the A-Rise program always offers trips and experiences for students with disabilities. "We regularly sponsor trips for A-Rise Brown said. "These are experiences students may not have had available to them in the past Edwards said the Student Recreation Center (SRC) and A- Rise have opened many doors for students and staff with disabili- ties. The annual ski trip is now among these opportunities. "This yearly event has helped to build students' confidence Edwards said. "It has given them an opportunity to be part of a large event, while meeting oth- ers with their own disability.

(photo by Garrett McMillan) Hurricane Floyd floods Internet Special Collections Department to post Web site Angela McKay STAFF WRITER The Special Collections Department of Joyner Library is collecting materials for a "Flood of the Century" Web site and manuscript collection. Mary Boccaccio, the director of the Special Collections Department, has been collecting items since Sept. 12. Boccaccio is in search of video foot- age, photos, books, essays, statistics and interviews. As of now, the collection consists of video footage from local television stations WITN, WNCT and WRAL. The Kinston newspaper added the book "Hur- ricane Floyd and the 500-Year Flood from the Kinston Free Press The book includes photos, articles and statistics from the Lenoir County area and is available at the Kinston Newspaper Office. Still in the process of being collected is five r hours of video footage from the National Guard, essays written by the students of Bethel Elemen- tary School and video footage from the Windsor Community. The Web site will be dedicated to a chronology of events covering the loss of housing, business and agriculture. "It's going to be a small site, but there's some good information on it Boccaccio said. "There's a section that has about eight to 10 photographs and another section that has statistics and links The site will also cover the events which brought the community closer together with the help of national organizations FEMA, The Salva- tion Army and The Red Cross, to name a few. The Special Collections Department will be accepting documentation of the flood and the af- termath for the Web site for the next 5-10 years. All donations can be delivered to Special Collec- tions located on the fourth floor of Joyner Library. Boccaccio plans to have the Web site posted in two weeks.

I The network, which consists of representa- tives of the community of Greenville, the ECU Division of Student life, ECU students and neighborhood association presidents, wrote the guide last summer. "It helps the student who is looking to live off out in the community for the first time by providing important infor- mation and resources said Michele Myers, director of Adult and Commuter Student Services. The book covers every- thing from frequently asked questions about off-campus leasing to explainations of what landlords are typically responsible for fixing. In ad- dition, it provides informa- tion about when a landlord can keep the deposit and what one can do if their land- lord is treating them unfairly. "I am really considering living off campus next year and I think that a book like this would help me out through the process said freshman Wes Cherry. There is also a section called 'Community Connec- tions which outlines the signs of healthy and un- healthy living communities. It includes tips on how one can be a positive force in the community while becoming involved with their neighbor- hood. Finally, there is a list of resources, including emer- gency numbers, city parking information and a directory of some common university resources. The Community Network published a booklet as a guide for students living on ' - their own for the first time. "C "This book gets the city in- formation to the student who is a member of two communi- ties-ECU and the city of Greenville Myers said. "Moving off campus is a big decision and I know that a book like this would help me a great deal in situations that 1 would otherwise have no idea how to handle said Kelvin Stroupe. "I wasn't aware of this pro- gram and I know that in cases such as this past year with the flood, I could have definitely used it in dealing with my ' landlord said Junior Joe Feno. The guide also discusses city ordinances. For example, it explains noise expectations, pets, disorderly conduct, alco- " hoi and games In the street. Furthermore, it incorporates information on ECU parking and transit as well as parking within the city of Greenville. The book is free and stu- dents can acquire a copy by calling 328-6881 or picking one up at the office of Adult and Commuter Services in the lower level of Mendenhall Stu- dent Center. Myers will be holding a program also en- titled "A Place of Your Own" where she will answer any ad- ditional questions students may have. This writer can be contacted at mbudtffstudentrnedia.eai.edu.

Deen Mohammed, the recognized leader and spokesman of 2.5 million American-Muslims, de- livered a speech at ECU last week. The title of his speech was "Diversity and Cultural Sensitivityr-Living Together in the New Millennium Mohammed was invited to ECU by a group of stu- dent representatives for the Minority Students Coali- tion as part of an ongoing race relations and cultural sensitivity initiative. �. -We started the process of getting him to come here in June said Na'im Akbar of the Minority Student Coalition. "We contacted an Imam in Durham who has direct access to Imam Mohammed and he helped us contact him The task of bringing such a well-known religious leader to the university was mainly a student-driven effort. "We helped facilitate the planning and the public- ity for the event said Yolanda Thigpen, chair of the Minority Student Coalition. In his speech, which was attended by approximately ;30O people, Mohammed spoke of having more peace $nd cooperation between different cultures by "accept- �iftg the oneness of mankind, and building upon that iqueness and diversity r Mohammed said that acceptance of others goes W&fig with the Muslim belief that the "power of uni- versal truths will bring sincere people to join the fam- ily bf man and embrace the family of Islam ' � Akbar said that ECU had never hosted a Muslim speaker before.

Chris Spencer, or "Spence" as he likes to be called, is majoring in architecture and philoso- phy at North Carolina State University in addition to being president and CEO ofSentrisystems.com, a business located on Centennial Campus. Spencer describes Sentrisystems.com as a com- pany that uses the most recent security and encryp- tion technology for collaboration between businesses and a company that allows consumers to control what information is released and how the informa- tion is circulated. "We're enabling businesses to work together in ways they've never been able to do up to this point Spencer said, "and we're giving consumers � people like you and me � the control they rightfully de- serve over that information The company is still rather small, and five out of seven employees are still taking classes at NCSU. Spencer said NCSU has been closely involved and helped make tfie'eom- pany a reality. Centennial Venture Partners have invested in this company as well, providing money, advice and con- tacts for Sentrisystems.com, Spencer said. "This new venture is as 'home grown' as it will ever get for N.C. State said Art Padilla, a professor in the College of Management and informal advisor to Sentrisystems.com. "All of the participants are N.C. State students and faculty, and it is the first company to occupy the Entrepreneurial Develop- ment Center at N.C. Statc.it is an activity in which the entire university can take great pride because it represents a splendid marriage of the university, edu- cation, creativity and free enterprise "The experi- ence we've all garnered from either working at the university, or working with the people within the university has been highly valuable and appreci- ated Spencer said. "In fact, it is something that I will remain aware of as the company grows University of California at Los Angeles�About 25 people exposed their half-naked bodies Sunday to the intersection of Westwood Boulevard and Weyburn Avenue in Los Angeles because they would rather "wear nothing, than wear Gap They stripped in protest of the alleged defores- tation done by the Fisher Family, one of the Gap's largest investors, as well as the alleged sweatshop labor practices used by the company. "We're protesting the Fishers because they're claiming to be good stewards of the land said Mary Bull, the national coordinator of "Save The Red- woodsBoycott the Gap Campaign "They're hypo- crites But Alan Marks, a spokesman for Gap, Inc. said the clothing company does not privately own any manufacturing plants and has strict measures to make sure child labor or sweatshop practices do not occur. He said there are 60 employees who monitor such factories world-wide. If factories are found to be in violation of the Gap's policies, they may be reprimanded depending on the seriousness of the violation or the Gap may take their business else- where. "We're constantly monitoring factories to make sure they follow all our guidelines Marks said. "We're in the factories on a constant basis Marks also noted that the company is not affili- ated in any legal way with the Mendocino Redwood company, the group protesters said is clearing for- est land for the Fisher family. The protesters led a similar protest Saturday at the Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica march- ing from the Gap to the Banana Republic, which, along with Old Navy, is owned by the Gap. Though one of the main focuses of the protest was to stop deforestation, some were there more in support of ending the alleged unfair labor practices of the Gap. See UCLA, page 3 CRIME Feb.

Though the protesters originally planned or. stripping completely- after the police said they would be arrested for indecent exposure if they did�the protesters felt that the media coverage was not enough for them to undergo arrest. Bull said her group had stripped completely in other cities such as San Francisco, Amsterdam and New York. "We didn't know that L.A. was so straight-laced she said. Though the protest attracted viewers, some of the observers said they did not really understand what was being protested. LEADER from page 2 terested in bringing Him back Akbar said. Mohammed became an Imam in February of 1975, following in his father's footsteps. He has since re- ceived many awards and acknowledgements. He has written several books, led a prayer in Wash- ington D.C. and was the first Mus- lim to deliver an invocation to the Senate and to the Georgia Legisla- tive body. To most Muslims, the title "Imam" means a religious leader. To others, such as the Shiites, it refers to the head of state, both religiously and politically.

Well, thanks to the items that )oyner Library's Special Collections department has collected, it will be possible to prove to future generations (unlike the whole walking 10 miles in the snow thing). Come onit was deemed the Flood of the Century. We all experienced and survived something that hasn't happened in 500 years. And although it was an experience that many will not soon forget, it's something that binds all eastern North Carolinians. Photographs that once held such fond memories of events past and old books you dreaded can now leave you with a totally different thought that you can share with others visiting Special Collections.

Now it's all a part of history. Although students' personal belongings paint a vivid picture of the mayhem that was created by Floyd, the collection will also have records of the sites and sounds that TV news stations aired to viewers around the world, giving people a glimpse into what we experienced.

OPINION COLUMN Trauma caused by everyday expectations Leigh Murphy OPINION COLUMNIST OPINION COLUMN "Simpsons" shows subtle humor Demosthenes OPINION COLUMNIST ;� Hi, I'm Demosthenes. You might remember me from such columns as "Baby Seals on Your Feet and �Presidential Lunacy in the 20th Century At 10:35 nearly every evening it is time to take a load off both your feet and your mind to sit back and enjoy a won- der of cartoon zaniness and wit. "The Simpsons which airs on the Fox network at this time tests the limits of reason and sanity as Bart, Lisa, Homer, Marge and Maggie show us the in's and out's of the perfect nuclear family. 'This brain-child of cartoonist Mat Groening has ari emotional depth seldom seen or expected from an animated series. The small town family splays the human condition for us as they struggle with greed, faith, envy, hope, infidelity, alcoholism, sibling rivalry, love and hate every day. This columnist struggles and laiighs along with them as often as possible. I can't think of another show that anyone from an 8 year old to an old hippie can enjoy and each walk away with something different. This is due to the ability of the writers in adding many layers of meaning to the humor, and hiding their social com- mentary subtly behind all the slapstick Bangs and Pows and the Dohs of Homer. No one is safe from ridicule, not the town drunk nor the president of the United States, because once in a while, everyone needs to laugh at themselves. Here is a little trivia just to see how closely you pay attention, f. What is Chief Wiggum's son's name? 2. What kind of animal does Burns have standing in his office? 3. Name Marge's sisters. 4. What kind of animal was Blinky? S. And finally, What is the bus driver's fa- vorite pastime? If you got five out of five, e-mail me, and in no less than 3-7 workdays you will receive my admiration and respect. You might also challenge me with some trivia, if you dare. I salute you Mat Groening and company for making everyone realize just how silly they really are, and for not taking anything too seriously. The Simpsons have their moments of doubt and pain, but as in life, they always pull through and live to laugh another day. So remember, don't think out loud, never rob the Quickie Mart and avoid Guatemalan Insanity Peppers, until we meet again. This writer can be contacted at demosthenes@studentmedio.ecu.edu. Expectations can be the downfall of any situation. I always try not to look into things too much before trjey actually take place, but realistically that is almost impossible. 1 think everyone sets themselves up for despair or heartache because of underlying pressure that they bring on themselves. So why can't we just take each day and each situation for what it is with- out assuming the outcome? For example, let's take the parents or as I refer to them my parental units. They expect us to graduate from high school, come to college and make some- thing of ourselves�and all in a four-year time period. As we all know it is becoming a difficult task to do in the allotted time, and therefore the first disappoint- ment is upon us. Then, they have this idea that after the four years is up we will get a job and become successful. I wish the best to those that will achieve this! Needless to say, if the parental units had not put this added pres- sure into our heads we might actually have the moti- vation to do it. Now lets look at everyday expectations, such as those in a classroom and those set by our professors. Before I start, though, I have to tell you a story that about 175 people (at least) will enjoy reading about. I am currently enrolled in a physics class that meets on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 2 p.m3 p.m. This class is packed everyday, and is often a little noisy due to the size of the class. One student, however, decided to acknowledge this problem. She raised her hand and addressed the pro- fessor by saying something to the effect that she could not hear him due to the buzz in the room and the fact that this was the rudest class she had ever attended. Immediately following this statement another stu- dent addressed her, giving her explicit directions con- cerning some relations that she may endure. Neverthe- less, the entire class was laughing for the remaining 10 minutes. This entire scenario could have been avoided if this one female student did not hold such high expecta tions of our physics class. And I think it is fair to con-1 elude that our professor's expectations of class partici- pation were exceeded. As we all know, expectations in a romantic relation- ship can also cause trauma. For me, I'm not in a rela- tionship right now and therefore cannot expect any- thing, but I do know what it is like! I also have friends that tell me their issues all the time, so I do have first-hand experience. The biggest idea that I want to touch on here is that all people have feelings. They may not be the same as yours, but that does not make them a bad person. For ail you guys that assume bad things about girls give them a chance. And if nothing else, remember that - the date will only iast a few hours. Also, I was told or Monday that all girls are witches, or that we might ac; tually be the devil on the inside. As for the girls that think boys are scum, I hope somewhere there is a prince charming waiting for you. I want to make sure that everyone realizes the im- pact that expectations can have on a college student. I've found that the majority of the time you have great. expectations, you are most likely going to get the op- J posite effect or at least be terribly disappointed. So why bother putting your time and effort into a; dead end? Take the time to step away and decide what you want rather than what you think you should get Only time will tell what will happen, but if you look at life realistically there is a better chance for success.

OPINION COLUMN OPINION COLUMN Hillary Clinton announces New York senate bid Easy on the Web forwards, Trigger Ryan Kennemur OPINION COLUMNIST ! Stephen Kleinschmit OPINION COLUMNIST Finally, it seems the hardly long-awaited an- nouncement of Hillary Clinton's senate bid has finally come. The long-time one month resident of New York will compete against New York City Mayor Rudy "con- crete overshoes" Giuliani in this year's senate runoff. Score 1-0 Hillary for the Letterman interview. It seems really shady that Hillary would seek a bid in New York, a state known primarily for its violent crime, and the question "What is a grit?" J I would think that she would have the strongest support back in Arkansas, the home of Daisy BB guns. There seems to be strong support for the Clintons there, especially from the all-so-important beef jerky lobby. In all seriousness, why would anyone vote for you if you lived in their state for a month? ; Giuliani has been a New Yorker for quite a while, and has been one of the best things to come out of New York since LI. Cool J. Following the traditions of other great mayors such as Jesse "the monkey" Ventura, Giuliani seeks to represent his state in a higher office than his present one. I think this is only a logical step for him, and I believe he would prob- ably make an effective senator. And not that I am hint- ing that he probably has mob connections, but how do you think JFK won Chicago? Score 1-1, tie. Meanwhile, Hillary has filled her days with lun- cheons and interviews, as well as shopping online for a chastity belt for her husband. Though she is a highly effective speaker, her pre-campaign promises, like many others, are generalized and a bit unrealistic: "I will end all poverty in New York, and deliver a pony to every young girl who wants one I do believe that her candi- dacy is a little more legit than others in the past (such as Sonny Bono). The thing I like best about Giuliani is his conserva- tive nature. He's not always one to compromise him- self to the bleeding heart liberalism cleverly dubbed as pop culture. Want to use endowment of the arts funds to make a portrait of the Virgin Mary using cut-outs of porn and topped with elephant dung? Not in my city says Giuliani. He threatens cutting arts funding by two- thirds and it's gone the next day. Excellent. Giuliani is someone who encourages creativity in the arts, but draws the line at government sponsored obscenity. If you want obscenity, go to the local quickie mart and pick up the latest issue of Swank magazine. Score 2-1, Giuliani. This writer can be contacted at skteinschmit@studentmedia.ecu.edu. In this day and age of technology, letter writing has become a thing of the past. Why pick up a piece of paper and pencil when you can just type out a quick note and have it delivered in seconds. Isn't the Internet great? Nope. With the incarnation of e-mail came the idea of junk e-mail. I would like to go on record as saying that I despise forwards. 1 get about a thousand or so each day from people who, before they got into e-mail, I considered to be my friends. They aren't funny. But I, the quintessential opinion columnist, have made a shocking discovery. There are only four forwards that exist in the world todaythey just get passed around over and over. Actually, I have a similar theory regard- ing fruitcake. 1.Virus Notice: This can be under the subject of "Melissa "Blue Sky" and various other Allman Bros, song titles. It tries to warn people about an email-trans- mitted virus that can do a great bit of damage to your hard drive. Also, they can kill your pet fish, tell your friends what you really think of them, lock your keys in your car, throw your clothes over a fence when you're skinny dipping, give you lockjaw and night vision, suck all the paint off your house and give your family a permanent orange Afro. 2.Chain Letters: A sweet poem becomes bitter when you get to the bottom and see what lies in store for those who refuse to forward the letter to 10 friends. The people that come up with this stuff have a job eating checkers at their local loony bin. Por ejemplo, Agatha Crumb was checking her e-mail one morning and she saw this similar e-mail on her computer. She read it in it's entirety and thought nothing of it. On; the way to her boxing class, she was hit in the head by a safe that was, for reasons unknown, dangling over Main Street. She was knocked unconscious just as the man of her dreams was walking across the street carry- ing a dozen roses for a girl that never loved him for who he truly was. After her mind left her on a park bench, she was left to wander the earth in a frumpy little dress, poor, homeless and never to find true love. I bet she wishes she had forwarded the e-mail. Don't let it happen to you! 3.Lists: I gotta tell ya, there are just way too many top 10 lists circulating over e-mail. I got one the other day about Pacey's top 10 best comebacks. I can't tell you how many friends I have made by using that as an ice breaker. No waityes I can. None. 4.The ones I get most frequently on my Hotmail address (which I rarely check) are the ones with the subject lines that read, "I forgot to tell you" or "You never write anymore Of course, one would suspect that this e-mail would be from a close friend or at least an associate. Not many people, however, would sus- ' pect this note to be from Sheila, the hot, 18-year-old beach bunny with brand new implants and a scorch- ing case of nymphomania. But at least these emails are educational. Did you know that the word "fist" is also a verb? There are variations of these, of course, but most of j them are pretty much the same. If you are the one send- ing me all this junk, I want you to know that I have sent you the "Ramblin' Man" virus. You should be get � ting it any minute. Now, if you you'll excuse me, I have to see what my friend Sheila is up to.

Daffy made his film debut in the 1937 "Per- cuss Duck Hunt three years before Bugs was even created. Daffy was created by anima- tion director Frederick Bean Avery, who thought it would be funny to have one of "nature's own" turn the table on his oppressor a duck who is not easily scared by someone pointing a gun at him. What makes Daffy unforgettable is Bob Oampett's film, The Daffy Doc which portrays Daffy in his wild, hysterical form. 0 Porky Pig Porcine "Porky" Pig was one of the only original Warner Brothers cartoons to have staying power. After starring in the 1935 film "I Haven't Got a Hat doors began to open for this mild- mannered pig. Animator Friz Freleng got his inspiration for the character from two of his childhood playmates�a kid nicknamed Piggy and his younger brother, Porky. Freleng had always wanted to do a strip featuring two children with these names, but since animation involved only animals during this time, he created Porky Pig. Mel Blanc took over as the voice of Porky, and gave him a stutter which offered a comedic spin. Due to his poking fun of a disability, rumors of attempts to retire Porky early on did circulate, but no actual documentation exists that can prove this. Bugs Bunny Although this "wascally wabbit" wasn't the Warner Brothers Studio's first major star, he definitely was the one who made a name for WB studios, as it was named number one in short-term animation. Bugs also won over viewers as he topped many of popularity polls of the '40s, '50s and '60s. It was through the collaborative efforts of J.B. "Bugs" Hardaway, Charles M. Jones and Robert Clampett that the Bugs" phenomenon was created. Some consider Bugs' ability to create a strong personality that can disappear, then come back and still be recognizable and entertaining to be their great- est achievement. Tasmanian Devil The Tasmanian Devil (Taz to his I friends), has been described as an animal short on brains and long on hunger. Taz remained one of the most colorful foes of Bugs Bunny, and occasionally Daffy Duck, in the 1950s. As the youngest of all of the Looney Tunes char- acters, Taz debuted in 1954's "Devil May Hare Soon after its release, the character was banned by the pro- ducer of the cartoons, Eddie Selzer. Jack L. Warner, head of all production at WB, began inquiring about the lack of appearances made by Taz. With that, the character was brought back for a few more efforts in the late '50s and early '60s. When Mel Blanc was approached to do Taz's voice, he asked what a Tasmanian devil sounded like. Since no one had ever actually heard one, Blanc chose to improvise with a gurgling sound�transcribed for one short "eccawchkupkekupke"�which is now consid- ered "Taz Speak Tweety Bird II Bi Otherwise known as Tweety or Tweety Bird, this precious little canary has no problem taking care of himself, especially since he is the target of Sylvester the Cat. Tweety usually benefits from the intercessions of his caretaker, Granny, or by the bull- flogs that reside in his neighborhood. ; Bob Clampett created Tweety (originally called Orson) in fond memory of his past fascinations with baby birds. Clampett gave him a baby lisp for a voice, &long with a head proportioned like a baby's and a temperament many say was borrowed from the Red Skelton character of Junior, "the Mean Whiddle Kid Tweefys debut in 1942's "A Tale of Two Kitties shows he is no helpless little orphan as he protects himself with the use of gasoline, hand grenades, dy- namite and clubs. � Sylvester Sylvester is considered one of the p most versatile characters of the � jfl Warner Brothers Studios because of P53 his ability to morph from timid and vulnerable to a father figure, to a cunning and evil feline. Friz Freleng and his staff designed Sylvester for a 1945 piece entitled "Life with Feathers Freleng wanted Sylvester to appear clown-like by giving him a big red nose and a low crotch (giving the effect of baggy pants). Mel Blanc provided the "say it, but don't spray it" voice for Sylvester which was quite similar to Daffy's. Elmer J. Fudd Well known as Bugs' arch nem- esis, Elmer has had a long-cunning career playing journeyman, stooge, dupe and second banana to that "wascally wabbit Fudd's character developed in "A Wild Hare and not many changes were made to his original appearance. Road Runner Road Runner is the constant prey of Wile E. Coyote, and al- though he never speaks (well, be- sides the occasional sign), he seems to have a knack for startling others quietly from behind and abruptly giving his famous "beep-beep Bibliotherapy: beneficial or bull? wSBvV.tec.ei Act of reading may prove self-therapeutic Dorcas A. Brule STAFF WRITER Bibliotherapy isn't just another one of those catch phrases derived from the self-help craze of the '90s. The term has actually been around since the advent of books, and now�in the midst's of America's self-help craze�bibliotherapy is gaining more notice. The initial idea that the word bibliotherapy invokes can be quite a misnomer since the term doesn't mean a therapeutic happiness derived from simply reading a book. At its core, bibliotherapy is the use of books as a kind of therapy, but what is often misunderstood is that it involves mainly the use of self-help books as a kind of independent therapy. Jacqueline Stanley, who supports this type of bib- liotherapy, is the author of the first non-academic Bbok Caroline Healy, medical school student, browses the stack for a relaxing book, (photo by Garrett McMillian) dealing with bibliotherapy, Reading to Heal. Her book' is a guide that shows how one can pick out self-help books and use them as a form of self-therapy. Some skeptics question its use and are wary of ne- gating the power of traditional therapies. �, "I think books can be a great part of the healing process said ECU graduate student Mary Pierce "When you find something that you can relate to in a book, it makes a world of difference But, I don't think books are the complete solution Healing takes time. and love, too J Some believe that the best way to perform biblio- � therapy is through reading fiction, since fiction allows the reader to speak about their emotions through a character, rather than directly having to reference them- selves. In a sense, the non-clinical bibliotherapy can ; be defined as therapeutic happiness derived from sim ply reading a book. This is what many people perceive! the term to mean. See BOOKS, page 7 STUDENTS LEARN ART OF MIXOLOGY Bartenders entertain, supply alcohol Nina M. Dry ASSISTANT FEATURES EDITOR Move over. Tom Cruise. You aren't the only one who can make a mean drink in these parts. For many years, bartending has been a popular and appealing career choice for many people. Ac- cording to Stuart Haithcock, owner of the East Carolina School of Bartending, people love enter- tainment and are willing to pay for it. "Bartending is a relaxation business Haithcock said. "It pro- vides a service for people. I've been in this since 1979 and this type business is always hot "I love interacting with people that come in said senior Brigitte Isles, a bartender at Cabanas. "Al- though it can be stressful at times, the bartenders) usually work well together Alcohol comes in many forms. Any way you drink it, a bartender pours it. (photo by Emily Richardson) So, wha,t does it take to be a primo bartender, also known as a professional mixologist in technical terms? Well, chances are it may be more beneficial if one meets three areas of criteria: female, good looking and honest. Although Haithcock can find work for many people in the field of mixology, it's easier to find a po- The 13th Warrior battles boredom Legendary plot dampened mediocre characters Susan Wright FEATURES EDITOR If you've been waiting eagerly for The 13th Warrior to come out on video, don't waste your hard-earned money renting it. Braveheart did the gritty warrior with a passionate heart and a quick mind fighting against unreal odds well. The 13th Warrior on the other hand, tries, yet all of the characters are lukewarm and uninteresting. Nor- mally a duel or a macho I'm-better-than-you scene has the audience rooting for one character or another. Here, however, this was just another step in the dull trek to the end of the movie. Hrothgar, the king of the Danes, has sent messages for help to warriors all over the barbaric world, since beasts of unnatural strength and stamina have ravished his kingdom. The communal mead hall is the place where warriors celebrate their victories as well as plan new strategies, and where these beasts do most of their killing. In this town, there are no men between the ages of 15 and 50 since most died attempting to kill the beasts. The plot focuses on a group of 12 Northmen and one Arab (Antonio Banderas), exiled from his country for loving a beautiful woman who was already taken. A prophet says one of the 13 warriors to go must not be a Northman, and so the others abduct him and head out to battle the beasts. The plot runs parallel to the first part of the classic "Beowulf the legend of the great battle between the Great warrior and Grendel, the beast. It seems that a plot based on a legend that has en- dured for hundreds of years and has been read, heard and treasured by so many would readily lend itself to an amazing screenplay, yet this is not the case. There is nothing amazing about The 13th Warrior, except for the fact that a great deal of people have paid money to see it. Banderas is the token Arab with a name 30 syllables long. He struggles to learn the language and to become a warrior. It was unbelievable that he suddenly fit in and became one of the group as soon as he learned their language by listening alone. This movie lacks the special effects, characteriza- tion and strong story line that make a gothic movie worth watching. To me, any movie that makes a col- lege student turn off a video he or she has paid hard- earned money for can be considered a truly terrible waste of time. The 13th Warrior made it to one hour with me, and then went back into the box from whence it came. This writer can be contacted at features@studentmedia. ecu. edu.

I turned around, and there was this guy lifting weights. I think he was straining way too hard. Is it natural for someone to grunt and turn beet red if all they're doing is lifting weights? �Straining at the SRC Dear Straining, I think all of us have seen those guys whose veins on their forehead look as if they'd pop out if one more weight were added to their bar. Personally, I know a perfect gym that should be built especially for these individuals: Grunter's Gym. Some men might find this grunting a necessity, but I don't think so. It's caused by testosterone overflow. The gym at- mosphere should be one of fun and concen- tration, not of grunting and animalistic noises. Dear Marjorie, My boyfriend is one of the most normal guys you'd ever meet outside the bedroom. But, once the door closes he is a totally different man. He does this thing where he strangles himself when we are together. He says it makes the experience better. My question is, is this dangerous and are there other people out there like him? �Bewildered in Belk Dear Bewildered, Your man is not alone in his strange urges. ' This behavior is known as erotic strangulation, and some people use it as a way of exciting themselves andor making their sexual experi- ences more intense. Erotic strangulation is very dangerous. It has caused people to pass out and, in some cases, it has proved fatal. If you care about him, try to find new ways to sate his de- sires.

In this time period, they learn how to make drinks, become acquainted with the different alcohols that go into each drink and are taught how to serve and handle the popular adult beverages. Not everyone who attends these classes are aspir- ing bartenders. "Approximately 30 percent of my students take the class just to learn about drinks and to entertain at home Haithcock said. After the two-week session is completed, students must take a written test by the American Bartender's Association in order to be a licensed mixologist. According to Isles, this test includes questions on how to mix drinks and what alcohols go into each. From there, one must pass Responsible Alcohol Sales Education, or the RASE test, which is provided by the Alcohol Law Enforcement (ALE). The test goes over how to cut off an intoxicated person's alcoholic supply with- out upsetting them and how to check IDs. Many people choose to become involved in this field because of the "big money" one can make. De- pending on location and how business is per evening, some bartenders can rake in a sizable amount of money. "Some people can make $30 in tips on some nights and then $300 on another Haithcock said. "It just depends where you are According to ECU alumnus, Jenny Inlow, bartend- ers don't receive enough money for what they do. "I think bartenders do a lot of work and don't make enough money Inlow said. "It irritates me to see people not tip their bartender. They are helping you have a good time For those interested in learning the science of mixology, contact Stuart Haithcock at the East Caro- lina School of Bartending at 752-1115.

State suspends license of doctor NEW YORK (AP)�Almost five months after an obstetrician carved his initials in apatient's abdomen, the state removed his license, fined the hospital $14,000 for seven vio- lations and required that the hos- pital make changes in its reporting procedures. The state Department of Health's actions were announced Thursday following an investigation into the hospital's conduct sur- rounding the Sept. 7,1999, incident in which Dr. Allan Zarkin carved the letters "A" and "Z" into 31-year-old Liana Gedz, whose baby he had just delivered by Caesarian section. The investigation was com- pleted Thursday. Commissioner Antonia C. Novello said the delay was due in part to inadequate reporting by Beth Israel Medical Center and to rules requiring an in-depth investigation before action can be taken. "The state Health Department has now obtained the permanent surrender of Dr. Allan Zarkin's li- cense'to practice the art of medi- cine. Dr. Zarkin signed the surren- der order yesterday and the chair- man of the board for professional medical conduct signed it today Novello told reporters. "It is my hope that Dr. Zarkin will not prac- tice medicine in the state of New York ever again "The failure of Beth Israel was not reporting the incident as re- quired she said. "We found that there were clear signs before the incident that Dr. Zarkin's behav- ior was totally inappropriate There were many moments in the system when this could have been halted A year before the incident, nurses and physicians at the hos- pital reported incidents in which Zarkin, 61, "screamed" at staff members and the fathers of new- borns and pulled the arms of new. born babies, she said.

SPORTS Tuesday, Feb. 8, 2UUU sports@studentmedia.ecu.edu Men's basketball team falls to JMU Dukes come back from 10-point deficit in second half Susanne Milenkevich SENIOR WRITER ECU'S basketball team dropped to 9-12, 4-6 in CAA action, as they lost 62-55 to visiting James Madison University (14-6, 8-2 CAA), Saturday. The Dukes opened the game with a 15-6 run in the first five minutes bvt the Pirates responded with a 16-1 run to put them up 24-16. "They really challenged us said ECU center Alphons van Ierland. "They really came after us ECU extended their lead to 10 points at the half as they entered the locker room with a 33-23 lead. The Pirates shot 46.4 percent in the first 20 minutes while JMU hit only 23 percent. The second half was a differ- ent story as ECU connected on only 32.1' percent of its field goals as the Dukes improved to 46.2 percent. JMU came out of the locker room ready to run as they went on a five minute 14-4 run to tie the game at 37 a piece. "We have had trouble keeping leads all year said Bill Herrion, first-year head coach. "They played like the number one team in the league. They turned it on when they had to and they made plays when they had to JMU's Rob Strickland and Jabari Outtz teamed up to score 21 points after the half while the ECU squad scored only 22 points in the second half. "They came out with a lot of intensity in the second half Herrion said. "We did not. I have told our kids all year long that the most important minutes of the game are the first five of the second half and they beat us there today The Pirate duo of van Ierland and David Taylor scored ,17 points in the first half but were held to a mere four points in the second half. "We need to come out with the same intensity we know the other team will come out with said ECU's David Taylor. The Dukes hit seven free throws in the final two minutes of the game to gj,ve them a 62-55 win over the Pirates.

Spring David Taylor (left) led all Pirate scorers with 11 points. Neil Punt added nine points in the loss, (photos by Garrett McMillan) Pirates gear up for baseball season Most of team talent returns Jason Adzigian STAFF WRITER Pirate baseball is ready to get un- derway for the 2000 season. Man- aged by 1999 CAA Coach of the Year, Keith LeClair, the team looks to earn their second conference title in as many years. , Last season the Pirates finished 14-6 in the conference, and 46-16 overall, earning them their first ever national ranking. They battled four teams ranked in the top 25 with the biggest victory coming in a 6-5 win over third ranked Miami. The Pirates put together an impressive 11 game winning streak with wins over Clemson and 19th ranked Wake For- est. In the CAA tournament, in its last year in Kinston, the Pirates de- feated fifth seed Old Dominion en route to earning a number one seed in Baton Rouge, La. for the NCAA Regional Tournament. The Pirates ended their outstanding season by dropping two games to LSU. This year's non-conference schedule looks to be just as tough, as the Pirates match up against three teams ranked in the top 25, Wake Forest, Clemson and South Caro- lina. They also face Duke and Purdue. The rivalry games for ECU will be Feb. 11 vs. N.C. State and April 18 vs. UNC, both of which the Pirates split games with last season. The Pirates will also face the tough CAA schedule. "There are four or five teams that will battle this year with no team having a real advantage LeClair said. The Pirates' pitching staff has only four returners, of which only junior Foye Minton is a starter. Last season, Minton went 9-5 pitching 104.2 innings, striking out 89 while walking an impressively low 20. He also threw a no-hitter vs. N.C. State, the first in l'O years for the Pirates. The Pirates bring in eight freshmen. "Getting them confi- dence early is crucial LeClair said. "I like the talent although un- proven in game situa tions they are still very capable of success this season The only change for the Pirate de- fense is the absence of Steve Salargo. The team will rely on outfielder James Molinari, second baseman Nick Sen na bel and catcher cliff p Godwin to lead the way for the young team. Around the infield the Pirates are among the best. Sophomore first baseman Chad Tracy, who started all 62 games for the Pirates and won rookie of the year honors in 1999, returns. As does CAA Defensive Player of the Year, Schnabel. Shortstop Lee Deifino started 59 games and was selected by Baseball America to the Ail-American and All-Freshman second teams. Deifino and Schnabel are. the most heralded middle infielders in the CAA, which can account for the added pressure. "It's nice to hear, and build off of it, but we have a job to do on the field Schnabel said. "I try not to let that get in the way, but I have learned a 1Q lot from Nick and having two � " years together, we should re- Chad Tracey returns as the Pirates' first baseman, (photo by Garrtett McMillan) m ally gel this year Deifino said. ; - LeClair brought aboard assistant; coach Kevin McMullan from the' University of Indiana (Pa.) to help- with recruiting and hitting. Tommy! Eason returns for his third year to! help instruct the young pitching staff. Also returning for his third year on the coaching staff is George Whitfield to work with the infield- ers. LeClair will need to remain pa- tient with so many young players and so little experience, but the vet- erans should serve as a nucleus for the squad. The newcomers, how- ever, are doing their part. "The freshmen are real gutsy, and work real hard. Everyone gets; along well both on and off the- field Defino said.

"I think we played great to- gether, we were able to move the ball along Fogaca said. "We could have rebound better "I thought we did a great job of attacking the zone said head coach Dee Gibson. "Defensively, our de- fense was extraordinary. It was ex- cellent. That's what won us the bas- ketball game. We struggled a little bit offensively, but when you play defense like that, you have every chance in the world to win After a short break, the Lady pi- rates will host James Madison in conference play at 7 pm. on Friday.

First, they headed to New York City to the Millrose Games in Madison Square Garden on Friday, then they stopped at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va. for the Pa- triot Games. In New York the distance-medley squad of Stu Will, Terry Speller, Brian Beil and Justin England placed sec- ond to the team from Columbia Uni- versity. "It was a great experience said Len Klepack, men's cross country coach. "They were among the great- est runners in the world. Running in Madison Square Garden, in front of 18,000 people was great The runners then rode in a van overnight to Fairfax, Va. for the Pa- triot Games. They also finished sec- ond in Virginia, behind Villanova. At the Patriot Games the team's time of 10:13.20 qualified them for the IC4A Indoor Championships. "They handled themselves very well Klepack said. "They knew they had to get rest. They slept in the van and studied in the van, their time management was great At George Mason, the 4x400- medly turned in their fastest time of the year. Despite being stuck in lane one, the team of Lawrence Ward, Darrick Ingram, James Alexander and Damon Davis finished first in a time of 3:1.48. The Pirates were paced by Davis who ran a 47.7 anchor leg to blow past St. Augustine's. "Were we're stuck in lane one said Bill Carson, men's track head coach. "It was very hard to run fast On the women's side, the Lady Pirates notched two first place fin- ishes and an ECAC qualifying mark. "I thought we had a fantastic meet said women's Head Coach Matt Munson. "I was very pleased with the results Rasheca Barrow took home first place in the 60-meters. Her time of 7.58 set a new ECU record, break- ing her own of 7.61. Junior Margaret Clayton took home first place in the weight throw with a toss of 55' 34 Clayton's throw is also a personal best. Fresh- man Becky Post and junior Crystal Frye notched third place finishes in the pole vault and the shot put, re- spectively. Two other ECU records fell at George Mason. In the 800-meters, Kay Livick placed sixth in 2:16.51, a new school record. The distance-medley relay squad just missed an ECAC qualifying mark. Their time of 3:53.53 was good enough for third place, and a new school record. Also scoring a third place was the 4x400-meter relay. The team also qualified for the ECAC. At George Mason, ECU's fresh- men shined. Shirena James too home fifth in the 200-meters. She was followed by Demiko Picott who " placed ninth. Both turned in per- sonal best times. In the high jump, Colleen McGinn and Kelli Post placed fifth and sixth, respectively. "The freshmen have really done well Munson said.

Rodman Signs With Mavericks J www.tec.ecu plug into the source. DALLAS (AP)�In the last 10 months, Dennis Rodman has been arrested three times and added sev- eral more tattoos and piercings to his walking collection. Now he's doing something re- ally wacky�joining the Dallas Mavericks. Rodman ended a long court- ship with his hometown team Thursday by signing a contract that'll pay him about $465,000 for the rest of the season. The saga will draw out even longer, though, because he's taking another week to get into playing shape. Rodman won't make his Mavericks debut until Wednesday at Reunion Arena against Seattle. Soon-to-be owner Mark Cuban said he's not sure whether Rodman will travel with the team for road games Saturday against the Los An- geles Clippers and Sunday against the Vancouver Grizzlies. But Cuban is sure Rodman won't be going to the Pro Bowl, as he'd threatened last week while in At- lanta for the Super Bowl. "If anything, I might take him to LA just to get him with his trainer because he's getting that serious said Cuban, who personally pursued the NBA's most eligible free agent since shortly after agreeing to buy the team in early January. The 38-year-old forward skipped Dallas' 106-96 victory over Char- lotte on Thursday night. He may have been too tired to do anything after two-a-day workouts with a trainer. Or maybe he was too busy get- ting comfy in his new residence, the 4,000-square-foot guest house to Cuban's mansion. The billionaire co-founder of broadcast.com didn't become Rodman's landlord to keep tabs on him. Cuban just wants to make Rodman's stay in Dallas as comfort- able as possible. "I'm not going to try to stop Dennis from being Dennis Cuban said. "I'm not going to say, 'Ooh, Dennis, don't go out and party. Ooh, Dennis, you're talking to the wrong girls No. Dennis, go out and have fun � be Dennis. "Dennis has managed to be Den- nis and be very successful on the court for a long time Cuban said there also were prac- tical considerations. "I've got big fences he said. "Everywhere he goes, he creates a scene, so I wanted to protect him from that so he can concentrate and focus Rodman will pay Cuban $3,000 rent per month because league rules force the owner to charge the going rate. Reserve Greg Buckner is giving up $15 a day from his paycheck to reimburse his boss for the use of a car. But Cuban is making some spe- cial concessions for Rodman, such as allowing him to ride a stationary bike instead of practicing and let- ting him arrive at games later than his teammates.
