University professors design Web classes Internet makes 'e-education' possible Jennifer Brown STAFF WRITER Some ECU professors are us- ing the Internet as a way to con- duct class rather than just for re- search. Teachers are beginning to post notes and assignments on the Web. Dr. Dale Knickerbocker, a for- eign languageliterature teacher uses the World Wide Web in his classes. Knickerbocker said that for his Spanish literature class, he has all of the assignments and study questions on his Web page, and for all of his foreign language classes he has a Web site for re- sources on more Spanish sources. "The site includes links to interactive reading and grammar sites, a Spanish dictionary and thesaurus, Spanish pen pals, sites to study abroad, quizzes with explanations of wrong answers and links to Spanish TV, radio and newspapers Knickerbocker said. "It's a good way to sharpen your Spanish skills Knickerbocker plans to have a graduate level course that is based entirely on-line. It will be a reading course, so students will not be required to speak the lan- guage. This is a class for people who will need to be able to read and understand Spanish text- books for research purposes. "There will be set times in a chat room where students can discuss things with me, or they can e-mail me Knickerbocker said. "I will e-mail the assign- ments during a certain set class time and they will have a certain period of time within which to respond Todd Finley, an English pro- fessor, Is also in the process of de- veloping on-line classes. "I'm developing a DE dis- tance education course called English 6510-Recent Trends in English Education Finley said. "It targets teachers who want to earn their master's but might have difficulty traveling to cam- pus or making time in their schedule "For those living far away from campus, a DE course makes sense. If a mother in Nag's Head has to travel three hours to sit through a three-hour class, then drive three hours back home, she's not going to have the time to do anything more than sur- vive the experience Finley said. Finley said that in the future, a large percentage ECU students will participate in what he calls "place-less timeless edu- cation "The fossil- ized model of teaching stu- dents at the same time, three times a week doesn't make sense Finley said. However, a majority of ECU students say that they are not quite ready for the Internet to re- place the class- room. Accord- ing to an Internet-use survey taken by The East Carolinian, 79 percent of students polled said that teachers should not hold class discussions via the Web.

Taking proper precautions prevents alcohol poisoning Programs work to promote awareness Martina Clyburn STAFF WRITER In the past few months, there have been at least four reported cases of alcohol poisoning among ECU students. Alcohol poisoning, which can lead to death, occurs when the body has consumed an ex- cessive amount of the intoxicant. "The reason your body is un- able to digest this is because al- cohol is a depressant, so it de- presses your breathing and your heart rate said Dr. Betty Straub, associate dean and director of Health Promotions. Symptoms that may occur include cold, clammy skin, slow respirations, vomiting while "sleeping" or passed out, oblivi- ousness to surroundings or loca- tion and unconsciousness or semi-unconsciousness. Sargent Stephanie Griffin of the ECU Police Department re- ported that she has encountered several cases involving under-age students who have abused alco- hol and have had to be reported to EMS. According to Beth Credle, interim director of Health Edu- See POISONING page 2 Alcohol poisoning can be prevented by being aware of your limits, drinking in moderation and using common sense, (photo by Emily Richardson) Teacher suspended for posting Wiccan Web site Action highlights privacy debate Terra Steinbeiser NEWS EDITOR A high school teacher in Scotland County was suspended last month for posting a Web site that contained pictures of ritual nudity as- sociated with the Wiccan religion. Sherri Eicher, an 11th grade English teacher at Scotland High School, is the leader of a small sect called the WillowFyre Coven. The Web site that she and her husband maintained had pho- tographs of fully nude Wiccans participating in a body painting ritual, known as "sky clad Eicher was not one of those pictured. Her suspension in January brought about a barrage of discussions and town meetings with the Scotland County Board of Education (SCBOE), area ministers, lawyers and citizens about the fine line between the private and pub- lic life of a school teacher. On Jan. 27, the SCBOE released a statement saying that Eicher would not be returning to her job at Scotland High, despite the fact that her most recent performance evaluations rate her as "above standard "The direct issue is settled to our satisfac- tion with regard to the school district and school district employees said Richard Eicher, Shari Eicher's husband in a previous interview with the Laurinburg Exchange. An agreement made by both parties main- tained that neither the Eichers nor the school board would make any further comments about the issue to the media. The issue of the dividing point between the public and private lives of those who have a direct influence on children is one that is hotly debated. "There's quite a lot of law pertaining to what is personal and private for a teacher said Dr. Parmalee Hawk, director of Teacher Education at ECU. "If what they do reduces their effec- tiveness in the classroom, then the school board has a right to make a suspension or a dismissal In 1984, the State Supreme Court made a decision pertaining to this issue. In the case of Faulkner vs. New Bern-Craven County Board of Education, the court upheld that "it is not in- appropriate or unreasonable to hold our teach- See WICCAN, page 3 Artful salesmanship Senior A I y s s a B 1 i n d a uer examines a pitcher at the art sale on Wednesday.

BISTRO project now underway Josette LaChance STAFF WRITER Pitt County has been chosen to serve as a pilot site for a program designed to identify healthful menu options at restaurants. "The BISTRO project Building Interest and Support for Healthy Restaurants is a state-wide program that sends volunteer dietitians into restaurants in order to identify healthy meals served said Kim Shpvelin, a registered dietitian at Pitt County Memorial Hospital. "For a meal to be identified as healthy, it must consist of fruits, vegetables and grains, while maintaining low sodium and fat content , Once a meal is identified as healthy, it will be identified by a symbol on the menu. , Also, the front door of the res- taurants might hold a sign to let people know that they are partici- pating in the program. The direc- tors of the BISTRO project will also be distributing pamphlets that con- tain more detailed information about the program. . There are seven area restaurants that have decided to participate in the program. The restaurants are the Mesh Cafe, Staccato Cafe and Grill, Chef's 505, Upper Crust Jewish nought About IT Today? Sushi is a low-faf food that is available at area restaurants, (photo by Emily Richardson) Mother, Cicle's and the Cubbie's in Winterville. Shovelin said that any restaurant in the state can partici- pate. "The BISTRO project is an excel- lent idea because it will give people who must maintain a certain diet the chance to go out and have a nice meal said Scott McClelland, owner of the Chef's 505. "I hope it flies. My restaurant is a good candidate for the program because it runs a pretty healthy menu already. When the dietitians came, they said they could use practically my whole" menu Fred Sullivan, former owner of the Mesh Cafe, said he is a big ad- vocate of the BISTRO project be- POISONING from page 1 cation, the best way to prevent al- cohol poisoning is to drink in mod- eration. ; "You have to know your limit Credel said.

If this doesn't hap- pen, the victim is likely to choke ? ;There are many avenues on cam- pij to educate students on alcohol and the effects of it's abuse. The ECU PD also presents workshops at the beginning of the semester in the lobby of the residence halls. Also, Straub hosts a two-hour workshop twice a week that is of- fered to any student or campus or- ganization who is interested in teaming about alcohol awareness. Straub said she is currently in the process of developing a video to encourage students to "stop the cra- ziness" of alcohol abuse. "It involves everyone Straub said. "The greeks and the athletes as well as the non-greeks and non- athletes ECU is not the only university that is taking measures to prevent alcohol abuse. Michigan State" Uni- versity is partnering with the fam- ily of Bradly McCue, a junior at MSU who died on his 21st birthday from alcohol poisoning. The family has created an orga- nization called B.R.A.D. (Being Re- sponsible About Drinking) which can be accessed at, "www.brad21.org The site gives information about alcohol poison- ing and allows you to send a card to a friend on their 21st birthday to remind them to drink in modera- tion.

"It will show that we're not just another restaurant, but will give our guests a healthy alternative" Sullivan said. Some ECU students said that knowing which restaurants offer healthful menu choices will make a difference in where they chose to eat. "I'm concerned about fat con- tent and staying healthy said jun- ior Daniel Hunt. Freshman Jeanne Czarnecki agreed. "I would chose a meal that had received the sign if it sounded good because I like healthy foods Czarnecki said. This writer can be contacted at jlachance@studentmedia, ecu. edu.

Duke University Trinity senior Drew Fine does, and he'll get the chance to win it all on the ABC game show this week. After calling in to the 800-number and acing sev- eral rounds of trivia questions, Fine won a chance to be on "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire his airdate will be tonight at 8 p.m. or Thursday at 9 p.m. "It was a whim he said Friday. "Now I'm going to New York The hit game show, which has been a ratings bo- nanza for ABC, features 10 new players every day from around the country. They compete against each other to ascend to the seat opposite host, Regis Philbin. Once in the "hot seat the contestant must answer 15 multiple-choice questions to win the million. He gets three "lifelines"?which enable him to poll the audience, call a friend or eliminate two of the four an- swer choices. The Chronicle learned Monday night that Fine had made it into the "hot seat and that, he had reached the $8,000 round when he called Pratt senior Gabe Tsuboyama to help him answer a question. That question?What word is. consistently spelled backward in the novel The Shining??stumped Tsuboyama too. He suggested the wrong answer, but Fine apparently disregarded his lifeline and guessed correctly. Fine could not be reached for comment on his fi- nal winnings from the game show. Fine said his subject strengths are sports and geog- raphy, and his weaknesses are books, authors and '60s and '70s pop culture. For the latter subjects, Fine can call on some Dukies to help.

University of Columbia?Nearly five years after Harvard was rocked by the deaths of two students in an apparent murder-suicide, Columbia University is trying to deal with the same shock. On Saturday, a 19-year-old sophomore was killed, followed hours later by the suicide of the suspect, her former boyfriend. Kathleen A. Roskot, a star lacrosse player, was found dead early Saturday morning in her dorm room. Her throat had been slashed. Later that day, Thomas G. Nelford, a Columbia drop- out and alleged cocaine addict known for his artistic' ability, threw himself in front of a Manhattan subway train. He was found carrying Roskot's wallet. According to Virgil Renzulli, Columbia's associate vice president for Public Affairs, Friday night's security1 tapes show Roskot and Nelford entering her dorm o gether. Nelford also left his identification card with the' dorm's security guard. A New York Police Department lieutenant told Thfe! Crimson that detectives have no doubt that Nelford' killed Roskot. The case was closed Saturday with' Nelford's suicide, the lieutenant said. ' ? Renzulli said the killing was Columbia's second fn1 less than three years. The other murder was also allegJ edly committed by an acquaintance of the victim. " '? "Any student death is a tragedy he said. "This is just a terrible loss ? ? Renzulli also said that Columbia is taking steps to' help students deal with Roskot's and Nelford's deaths. He said administrators began the process by informing' all students of the murder-suicide via e-mail messages.I "The university has made counselors available' throughout the weekend for any students Renzulli' said.

Republican leaders urge gay marriage question at meeting BRATTLEBORO, Vt. (AP)?Republican leaders in the Vermont House and Vermont Senate are urging towns to ask voters for their thoughts on gay marriage at March town meeting. House Leader Walter Freed, R-Dorset, and Senate Leader John Bloomer, R-Rutland, wrote letters to towns across the state suggesting they include ballot ques- tions on Town Meeting Day. They suggested that two questions be put to voters: "Do you support same-sex marriage?" And, "Do you support the creation of a domestic partnership law by the Vermont Legislature which would allow same-sex couples the same basic benefits as married heterosexual couples presently have?" The Legislature is considering those questions in the wake of the Supreme Court's ruling that gay and lesbian couples should be given all the rights and ben- efits of marriage. The court left it to the Legislature to' determine how to provide those rights. The two Republicans said that the request was not made to support any one particular position, but "to allow the Vermont public a chance to weigh in on this issite on an individual basis Several towns already have put the issue on their ballots. Among the larger communities seeking voters' views are Hartford and Rutland City. Rockingham was the first town to decide on a ballot measure. Now, it appears that Brattleboro may follow suit. Town officials scheduled a discussion at a select board meeting after receiving the letter from Freed and Bloomer. The board will vote on Tuesday whether to include the matter on the 2000 town meeting warning, which would include a town-wide secret ballot vote. Robert Fagelson, chairman of the Brattleboro Se- lect Board, said Sunday that he fully supported putting the item on the ballot and he predicted Brattleboro "would be one of the few towns" in the state to en- dorse the controversial issue. "I don't have a problem with it at all said Fagelson, who said he would have a problem adding a third ques- tion for Brattleboro voters-whether voters supported a constitutional amendment defining marriage as a union between a man and a woman. "I don't like constitutional amendments.in the first place said Fagelson. "And 1 would be opposed to it Fagelson noted that when the town endorsed do- mestic partnerships for its town employees, giving ben- efits coverage to a town employee's same-sex partner he didn't hear a word against it.

The case of Sherri Eicher and her dismissal from her job as an 11th- grade English teacher raises many questions. The Scotland County High School teacher who was dismissed for the content of a Wiccan Web site she ran caused many to ask "Should teachers be held to a higher stan- dard than everyone else and should what a teacher does out of class affect her employment?" Many people would say yes. Obviously, nobody wants a teacher breaking laws or setting a bad example for children. However, it is when you get closer to the center of the moral spectrum that the answers to those questions become less clear. If certain aspects of Eicher's case had been different, a quick and clean answer to the problem could be had. If Eicher had taught second grade, there would probably be more support for her firing. Likewise, if she had been a college professor, would her decisions outside of the classroom garner as much attention? Prob- ably not. But this case does raise the issue of equality-how can we set concrete standards if no one can agree about what the proper definition of decency should be. And, should anyone be trying to answer that ques- tion on a public level in the first place? A teacher does work with the youth of the community and they do shape the views of their students. However, at what point does the in- class life end and the out-ofrclass life begin? Another thing that makes the Eicher case so sticky is the exact con- tent and purpose of the site. The Web site is dedicated to the Wiccan religion. The controversial images depicted a religious ceremony. This presents a constitutional quandary for the school board. Is the Web site protected by the First Amendment? Should her private life be private? Is the Web site so threatening? The Eicher case proves that a-situation that at first seems open and shut can have other aspects that can cloud a decision. ECU ?mtix Tfmm?tSSu. OPINION COLUMN Those drugs are killing you, stupid! Patrick McMahon OPINION COLUMNIST (OPINION COLUMN 0 I Vote LaradoBastard for 2000 President Mark Larado POLITICAL COLUMNIST ,? Quite frankly, this year's election could just be the ipjdst boring ever. Watching the campaigns is a lot like ?tching the amateurs play at the AT&T Pebble Beach If Pro Am. You don't know the names of the old jateurs playing, but a lot of people clap for them, so tpey must be famous. !To spice up this year's presidential race, we need to ajiolish the law that snuffs out the young idealists from the presidential race, like NSYNC. That rule is in Ar- tfcle Six of the Constitution-and firmly states that the president must be a minimum of 35 years of age. It ajfeb states, "No shoes, No shirt, No elected president" (jofrry candidates from West Virginia). So, I'm pushing for a petition that will overturn ttils oppressive law, and while I'm doing that I might asjivell throw my hat into the topless mud wrestling rif g for the presidency, too. Here's how an interview between a distinguished journalist (Katie Couric, for example) and me might gi- 1 Question: Why should we vote for you for presi- dent? Answer: As president, I will return the "wholesome- nass" and "dignity" to the presidency that was absurdly, m&rred in the last term. I will focus my campaign on education and health care reform, while battling the evils of censorship. ' Q: Really? ? A: Of course not, unless you find legalizing prosti- tution "wholesome I Q: Who will be your running mate? I A: You may know my running mate from the en- tertainment industry. He is widely known and could b? considered a household name. My running mate fof vice president is Ol' Dirty Bastard. Some of you may aljo know him as Big Baby Jesus or Rikers Island in- nate 45876. Q: How could Ol' Dirty' Bastard be qualified for a position of high office. J A: I thought you might ask that question. I assure ycju he is very qualified because he can drink just about enough and has had as many run-ins with the law as any Kennedy has had. IQ: What is your view on gun control? A: Although my running mate is pro-uzi, I feel I cannot express my views about gun control freely be- cause we have marines and a clock tower here at ECU. ? Q: I've noticed that the Republican and Democratic primaries have already started, so this means that you will have to run as a third party. What party will that be? The Reform party perhaps? A: The Reform party is already filled. The likes of Buchanan and Trump are fiercely battling it out now for one percent of the American vote come Nov. 2. So with this knowledge, Ol' Dirty Bastard (ODB) and I held a crusade to find the right political party that will back us up, with a little help from Politics.com. From our research, we've found that there are oodles of political parties out there. Many have a unique plat- form that sets themselves apart from the typical "meat and potatoes" parties, like Republicans. For instance, we found the Pansexual People Party (PPP). Their credo is "The primary purpose of the PPP is to promote positive political progress and partner- ship through prurient propaganda. Their platform in- cludes budget reform, anti-censorship and most impor- tantly, the PPP is pro-transvestitism. Along with their views on gun control and war reform, you can also find a guide to the multiple male orgasm on theii Web site. I wonder what Steve Forbes' view on the multiple male orgasm is? He always looks a little tense. Of course we came upon numerous marijuana re- form parties like the Pot Party. I find this party interest- ing because they have two candidates already running for nomination. I'm voting for Nathaniel Brown be- cause not only does he agree with my views on gun control, but he received "High Times Bong-of-the- Month award in 1994. ODB and I didn't look at some political parties' Web sites because of their oxymoronic titles?like the Free- dom Socialist Party or the Democratic Socialist Party. How could you be free or democratic, if you have to wait in a line for your state-rationed bread every week? Also there is the Utopian Anarchist Party. If you vote for an anarchy, wouldn't that still be considered a de- mocracy? ODB and I came to the conclusion that the major- ity of the parties have already given out nominations for the presidency. In order for a successful LaradoBas- tard 2000 run for the White House, we had to resurrect an inactive party that we both agreed on: the Free Pony and Ice Cream Party. In '96, their candidate for presi- dent was a parakeet named Bob. They have scientific research that backs their claim that millions of Ameri- cans love ponies and ice cream. If ODB and I joined this party we would be shoo-ins if we stick to party promises. So vote for LaradoBastard and every family can re- ceive a free pony (weight and color at our discretion) and free ice cream on every third Friday (ice milk and fat free also available). This writer con be contacted at mlarado@studentmedia. ecu. edu. Over this past weekend, I viewed some little im- ages that have left an indelible mark upon my im- pressionable little brain. After a long, hard night down- town having a good time with my sister and some of her friends, I waited patiently in front of Cubbies for my ride to come and pick up me and my friends. It just so happened that this very night was the. holy grail of Rave parties at the Sports Pad. Literally hundreds upon hundreds of people lined the streets for nearly a block and a half so they could take part in what I'm sure must have been a helluva party. But what struck me so profoundly was the manner in which these people had prepared themselves for the event. I saw a cross-section of ravers, from the regular guy in cargo pants and American Eagle shirt to the girl with see-through glass platform shoes and pink hair with so many piercing that it would take her hours to get through an airport metal detector. The scene disturbed me. Make no bones about it, I like raves. The lights and beating music can put you in some sort of trance that is truly a treasure in its own right, but I draw the line when I see people smear- ing Vicks' Vapo-Rub on the inside of surgeon's masks so they can inhale the fumes to get a rush. What does Homer Simpson say when he does something stuoid7 DOH! v The same people doing this are already rolling (for you professors and parents out there, this means tak- ing ecstasy.) Now, I don't claim to be the smartest guy in the world but mixing huffing and X can't be the most beneficial thing you can do to your body. That brings me to the whole drug thing. WHY? WHY7 WHY? I was always raised to believe that the body is a temple that God gave us to preserve and experience. Maybe I'm not perfect in taking care of my body, but drugs just seem stupid. Most people out there have done some herb and that plant is one thing, but co- caine? Special K? What are you thinking? These drugs are slowly killing you from the inside where you cannot see it. How does the old saying go? What you can't see can't hurt you? DOH! Maybe this isn't comparable but right now, my hearing is slowly deteriorating. A decade of abuse by ear infections and obscenely loud music have made them about 65 percent scar tissue and the fluid build up is nothing short of amazing. I'm just two de- cades old but if the hearing doesn't get better, I'm look- ing towards a life of making Miracle Ear my Jesus Christ. All those drugs are doing the same thing to your bodies. They slowly eat away at you until one day you realize you can't hear certain tones and that cd you love so much doesn't quite sound the same. No wait, that's me. Drugs still suck though. Why take a drug when you can do the same thing naturally. I don't know about you but when some urban, jungle or techno comes on, it just lifts me away into a pulsat- ing world full of bumblebees and candy canes. I can probably imitate any drug in existence by just training my mind to do it naturally. Try it some time. Instead of rolling, just keep dancing. While dancing, tilt your head back and close your eyes. Let your whole body become one with the sounds. You'll find that after just a few seconds, you'll be able to predict the changes in the music and go with the flow, entirely without drugs. You may not believe it, but I would give my own life to ensure that all of you lived to be a hundred so you could experience the joys of life without having to spend money on rehab and methadone. I care about each and every one of you and it pains me to no end to see you killing yourselves like this. Drugs ain't cool folks. I'm not trying to be an over- protecting dad or nothing but just turn it down next time. The more you don't do it, the easier it is to live without it.

OPINION COLUMN University faculty, staff should get dibs on parking I Chris Sachs OPINION COLUMNIST I try to stay away from articles about parking be- cause the situation is old news, it sucks, and it is not likely to change. Students are willing to yell about parking to anyone who will listen?and I try to never listen. But as of recently, professors have been express- ing their opinions about parking and all the hassles they have to endure. We students are not the only ones getting hosed. I refuse to buy a parking sticker. I know spaces are rare and I don't want to stress myself out driving 45 minutes to find a spot. I park far away and I walk. I used to park at Darryl's but the situation there has gotten out of control. Students have found ways to pack cars in there in such a way that they defy funda- mental laws of physics and geometry. So I gave up. I walk long distances and I don't mind anymore. It al- lows me slow down and gives me time to think. But that's me. Now with all the construction and deci- sion-making going on about parking, professors are being forced to walk long distances as well. Now the thought of some of my professors having to park in Kinston and trudging it to work is a fun fantasy to have, but in reality it's unfair. How would you like to get hired to' work when you graduate and be told you have to park a 15 minute walk away to get to work? You would hate it and you would complain. And that is what ECU professors have done. But the complaints have fallen upon deaf ears. That is because they were yelling at the decision maker's cars while they drove by them in the street on the way to their cushy parking spaces. Camus had it all wrong about the myth of Sisyphus. The benighted king of Corinth endlessly rolling that rock up a hill in Hell is not symbolic of life, just parking at ECU. Surely there is some answer that we can all agree to. Now I know students will hate me on this matter, but hey, that's why it's an opinion column. I think the students should have to park far away, walk or take the shuttles to classes, not professors. Now be- fore you all burn me in effigy and call my mother vulgar names hear me out. As of today they're about 1,600 parking spaces On campus. There about 1,100 faculty and about 500 staff employed here. There are just enough parking spaces for each and every person that works for ECU. I think the professors should have full and complete access to all those spots. It's the professors and staff that have to be here all day for their jobs. Students get to go home for lunch, take off and do some errands for a few hours, or maybe have only one or two classes, whatever. But professors and staff hold longer hours that they must be. here, many have to stay late and many have to come in at night to do work. But the upper administration wants the professors- to take a proposed shuttle service for off campus park- j ing. Parking and Transportation Services (PTS), in their j infinite stupidity, have worked with the upper adminis- tration and hired Chance Management, a consultation firm, to study the parking problem. What a waste of money. We have a campus filled with brilliant teachers and researchers who can easily solve this problem with a little brain storming for free, yet we now have to pay for some biased firm to come and tell us what they already decided: A parking shuttle is what the school needs. This idea falls somewhere in between worth-little and worthless. It is a logistical night- mare and it will never work. PTS has answered professors concerns about late nights when the shuttle services stop. They say that they will be able to call and be picked up. They have given an option of three numbers professors can call for rides, the last one being the police. The police! Yeah, call the police to get a chauffeur-driven ride to your parked car two miles away. That makes sense. Some girl is getting gang raped by Klan biker members and Mango the cop " is away driving some nervous professor back to their Honda. Now I know not all professors work late (some barely work at all), but if this school is to really grow and be taken seriously, then they darn well should ?This column will continue in next week's TEC?

In the past year, The Jewish Mother has started featuring jazz musicians. Staccato's and Mesh Cafe also feature jazz groups on a regular basis. The residents of Greenville have been exposed to more jazz than ever now because of these non- ECU affiliated businesses opening their doors to the music. Staccato's business improves when the bands come. "Our business does seem to in- crease a little when we have the jazz bands come said Eva McKeel, as- sistant manager at Staccato's.

Valentine's Day began as fertility festival Susan Wright FEATURES EDITOR In 469 AD, Valentine's Day was set to commemorate the death of St. Valentine, the pa- tron saint of lovers and epi- lepsy. Now, people celebrate the holiday in a variety of ways. In Greenville, there are ac- tivities for both singles ? who aren't sitting home and eating Ben & Jerry's? and couples. St. Valen- tine died in 269 AD for protecting Christian martyrs after torture. He died at the hands of Em- p e r o r Claudius II on Feb. 14. Origi- nally, St. Val- entine was age to the wolf deity Lycaeus. She was the mother of Romulus and Remus, the founders of Rome. This day was a fertility festival, and the Catholic Church added the pagan tradition into the ob- servance of St. Valentine's Day. Thus, St. Valentine became the patron saint of lovers as well. Since Valentine's Day wa's incoprporated into the calea- dar, people have used it as a time to celebrate those who they love, espe- cially their signifi- cant other. Jennifer Williams sophomore, takes her best shot at the pins, (photo by Emily Richardson) only the patron saint of epilepsy, but the Catholic Church incor- porated Roman traditions into hfs memorial day.

If I page someone repetitively, and then they page me back, but I get their page and don't have anyone to call but their pager, what do I do? I hate playing pager tag but sometimes it seems as if there is no other way to get in touch with people. ?Perturbed about Pagers Dear Perturbed, There are documented sources for telephone etiquette, dining etiquette and classroom etiquette, but there are none that address pager etiquette. I understand your frustration with playing pager tag. Personally, I would go by the same rules that one adheres to for telephones. If you have already called them once, don't call again unless they call you. True, the tedium of pager tag could go on forever, but at least you will be playing by the rules. Always try to get an actual phone number that connects to an answering machine. That might end the silly game of pager tag sooner. Dear Marjorie, I have been dating my boyfriend for about a year. The other day, however, I was walking across campus and 1 saw this guy who just exuded this incredible sexual energy. I had to have him. He looked at me, and we ran Into the library and had sex on the copier machines. Did I do something evil and wrong, or is that just a part of human sexuality? ?Puzzled and Passionate Dear Puzzled, Depending on your age and your boyfriend's age, one of you may be nearer to your sexual peak and this may be causing a rift In your relation- ship. A man peaks at approximately 19 years of age and a woman peaks in her early 30s, so age plays a role in sexual compatibility. What matters more than the wild fling with this random man Is the fact that you were emotionally and physically unfaithful to your steady boyfriend. There are women who would give their right arm for a good and loving man (I know quite a few), and you threw that all away for five minutes of passion I sincerely hope that it was worth it, because you ? may have lost one of the best things you had be- cause of your infidelity.

(AP)?Balloonist Kevin Uliassi knows a Swiss team was the first to circle the world in a balloon. He wants to be the first to do it alone. Uliassi was sidelined a year ago by bad weather and international politics when Bertrand Piccard and Brian Jones succeeded in 19 days. He also was foiled in 1997 and 1998. Now recharged and supported by enough sponsors, Uliassi is ready to try floating into history again?this time, solo. Typically, around-the-world balloon attempts are made by teams of triree. "To me, the appeal is I don't have to worry about the other person Uliassi said. "It makes everything so much simpler. For other people they identify with that, especially when it's an ordinary person. "But you can't really say why it's important. Some people think it's just plain silly. People don't see b'al- loons as rational things like airplanes. "if I can do this, it may have some meaning to people who are interested in the sport he added. Uliassi, 36, was planning to take off as early as the wee hours of Sunday depending on the weather. But on Saturday, according to his website, the launch was called off for the time being because of unfavorable weather patterns. In a 160-foot balloon named J. Renee, for his wife, he would lift off on his 20,000-mile journey from a stone quarry near Rockford, III in a town called Loves Park. He'll rise to about 30,000 feet for what he expects to be a journey of 18 to 20 days. The J. Renee will be on autopilot when Uliassi sleeps, and he'll be in contact with medical advisers should he get sick at such high altitudes. "You have to force yourself to drink water he said. "It's not a natural craving when you're at altitude I?H 110 billion cows are alive in the world In a day 60-200 100 pounds of milk are produc pounds of manure are produced by one cow. wtl pounds of food are consumed by one cow.

The senior forward has brought his game to the next level in his final season at ECU. As Pirate basketball gears up for the CAA tournament this week with a three-game road swing against William & Mary, Richmond and Old Dominion, senior forward Punt looks to his experience to lead the way. "We are less likely to give up, we realize that we still have a chance Punt said when asked to compare this year's Pirate team to previous ones. The consensus among the play- ers as to the reason for the renewed devotion is coach Bill Herrion, and the revamped coaching staff. "They have worked very well with all of the players said senior Garrett Blackwelder. "I'm enjoying this season much more than last Punt said. "The coaching staff allows us new oppor- tunities A major plus for the Pirates this season has been the marked im- provement of Punt's game. Punt at- tributes his improvement to off-sea- son weight training, running and pick up ball. Punt also praises the personal coaching that the players receive in the preseason. "It helps us develop specific ar- eas of our own games Punt said. "Neil is the type of player that coaches love to have Herrion said. "I wish I had him returning for three more years "He's our go-to guy Blackwelder said. "He's done a lot of work to earn that position. He is definitely an inside presence, and a proven scorer Punt is a 6'8" senior from Chanhassen, Minn. He finished third all-time in scoring at his high school, with over 1,300 points. Throughout his college career, Punt has seen a somewhat limited play- ing time, due in part to a broken foot. , Off the court Punt has many hobbies including rollerblading and watching the X games. He and his wife, Karen, have their son, Chase, to keep them busy. Following gradu- ation Punt would love to work with the State Patrol investigating insur- ance fraud. "I'd rather not put all my eggs in one basket Punt said after say- ing how he'd love to play pro.

Pirates blank Blue Devils OPINION COLUMN Football schedule offers quality once again ?t F.CU took on Duke Monday af- ternoon at Harrington Field to open the 2000 season. The Pirates beat the Devils 5-0 with ECU pitchers Foye Minton and Davey Penny combined for a no-hikw. The Pirates did not allow a Blue Weevils baserunner until the fifth inning when Duke's Larry Broadway reached base on an er- ror. Minton pitched through the eighth inning. Penny came into the ninth to keep the no-hitter intact. The no-hitter is Minton's sec- ond as a Pirate. He no-hit N.C. State in his first outing last season. "It's pretty hard to believe that Minton could come out and work a no-hitter again for the second year in a row said Head Baseball Coach Keith I.eClair. The Pirates scored four runs in the first inning. F.CU tacked on an- other run in the seventh to finish with five runs. "Overall this was a good win for us to start the year with I.eClair said. Freshman Davey Penny (above) came on in the ninth to preserve the Pirates' no-hitter. Outfielder Erik Bakich (left) got some instruction from a Pirate coach prior to Monday's game.

If you're a fan of Pirate football you'll be in Ficklin watching F.CU take on Virginia Tech in ECU's home opener. ECU'S 2000 football schedule was released last week and the Thursday night match up with the Hokies was the game that garnered the most attention. The game will be nationally televised on ESPN and will feature two of the most inter- esting teams from last season. The Hokies went 11-0.en route to a Sugar Bowl match up with even- tual National Champion, Florida State. Tech had an offense that fea- tured the nation's most exciting player, Michael Vick. Vick will come into the 2000 season as a favorite for the Heisman and the game against ECU may be one of his first chances to impress the voters. ECU's season kicks off with a date with Duke in Durham. ECU easily disposed of the Devils when the two teams met in Greenville in September of last year. The Pirates will then return home to face Virginia Tech on Thursday night. The game against the Hokies will also represent the first of three match ups with teams from the Big East on the docket. The Pirates will also tangle with Syracuse later in the month and West Vir- ginia in November. ECU will then face two more opponents at home, Tulane and Syracuse, and have a by-week before heading West to Memphis for a tilt with the Tigers. The game with Memphis starts a stretch where ECU faces five straight conference oppo- nents. ECU then returns home for a contest with Army, before traveling to Louisville to take on the Cardi- nals. ECU then has back-to-back home games with conference foes, UAB and Houston. The Houston game will be the home finale for the Pirates. To end the season, ECU will have a tough road swing that in- cludes visits to West Virginia and C- USA champ, Southern Miss on Thanksgiving weekend. The South- ern Miss game will be a rematch of the conference's best game of 1999. The Pirates will face the best of C-USA. They will take on the other two bowl teams from the confer- ence, Southern Miss and Louisville. The 2000 schedule will be com- petitive. While it does not contain N.C. State or North Carolina, it does offer the Pirates several chances to sell out home games aVid showcase their program. Of their 11 games, five have a chance to be nationally televised. The home games with Virginia Tech and Syracuse, as well as the match up with West Virginia will be shown on ESPN or ESPN2. The games with conference foes, Louisville and Southern Miss will be shown on Fox Sports Net. This writer can be contacted at sports@studentmedia.ecu.edu. 2000 ECU Football Schedule Sept. 2 (Sat.)

He would not release the names of the other limo passengers. The Sun in Baltimore reported Monday that limo driver Duane Fassett, 51, told police that Lewis threw at least one punch in the fight that resulted in the two deaths a week earlier. The affidavit police used to obtain the arrest war- rant against Lewis cited an unidentified witness who said Lewis participated in the "punching, beating and stabbing" of the two men. Lewis, middle linebacker for the Baltimore Ravens, is in the Atlanta Detention Center on murder charges stemming from the deaths of Jacinth "Shorty" Baker 21, and Richard Lollar, 24, both of Decatur.

Thursday, February 10, 2000 ??? Lincoln Day in West Virginia and Vermont S) rj FOUNTAIN HEAD BACK in CD n rj n c a e Patrick McMahon Entertainment Editor Way back in the early to mid-70s, Greenville was a completely different entity to the ECU student. Back then, the massive, national retail chains and outlets that dot the areas surrounding campus did not exist and Greenville Boulevard was just three lanes of unfettered road (kind of hard to believe now). The town was just that: a town. The "City of Greenville" was years away and the university was pretty much the biggest thing going. Highway 264 was a two- lane stretch of desolate space that led right into the heart of the city, which was, for better or worse, the ECU campus. The legal drinking age was still 18, the war was raging and with that brought notions of the male college student desper- ately trying to maintain good status so he wouldn't have to be sent off to die in someone else's war. The air was different then. It was a nervous, yet excited air and downtown Greenville was right there to cater to the college kids' need for entertainment and distrac- tion from the world around them. Many of ECU's current students had parents here at about that time and trust me, from what I found out, they had it a lot better then than we do now, as far as downtown goes. It is pretty much a crap shoot to decide where to start. So much has changed in Greenville over the last 25 years that it truly was an undertaking in futility to track down every bit of info on every downtown establishment over the last couple of decades. So I'm going to try to narrow it down to the interesting stuff. Each and every building downtown has seen a remark- able array of different busi- nesses, and many have come and gone with the passage of time. The Cellar has seen some of the most dramatic changes over the years, from being a quiet eatery to the dance haven it is now. From the late '60s to early 70s, the building has housed about five different establishments, all owned and maintained by various mem- bers of the Saleed family. When It comes to downtown Greenville, you don't have to look too far to find an establishment that a particular family didn't have a hand in maintaining or running. Back in the '60s, the Saieeds were the first ones to bring pizza to Greenville. They even supplied pizzas to the campus for a spell of time. The Cellar was actually a Chevy dealership before the Saieed family came into the picture. Before it was turned into The Cellar, the building served as a restaurant called Fiddlers III. Jolly Rogers Disco took over the building during the mid- '70s disco craze, which later became Rafters, a rock 'n' roll bar. After that, the building was turned into Bogies, a theme restaurant and bar, before finally becoming The Cellar that it is now. In fact, there are about 400 squares left over from the disco days that are individually lit just like the dance floor from Saturday Night Fever. Believe it or not, the owner is thinking about bringing it back out if the demand is high enough. Another downtown mainstay that just recently relocated to the collection of shops by the Harris Teeter on Charles Boulevard Is Scully's. Specializing in eclectic material and used music, the owners had maintained a downtown presence since approximately 1981, when it was located in the BW-3's courtyard in a building that has since burned down. Known as Quicksilver ofStkMuimeM RoSerVamrnererT SP?rtS ? ,0Cati0n? bBf0re B?S bMt-(photo cour,e$!l to bet you a thousand bucks you'd never guess the building used to be a horse stable. Go figure. Back before the drinking age was 21, the bars would have Happy Hours from about 4 p.m6 p.m. that the college kids used to attend after their classes got out. The students would go in the afternoon to drink and socialize, then go 1958 - 5th Street from the future Alfredo's, (photo courtesy of Roger Kammerer) Records, it was mainly a music shop but also catered to other interests. At the same time, the owners maintained Eponymous Books?Progressive Reading For The Unfettered Mind before Barnes and Noble came in and squashed most of the book- stores in the downtown area and across town. I'd be willing home and sober up and come back at night when the bars' late shift worked. Can you imagine doing that today? Some more points of interest: Alfredo's II used to be a head shop called Pipe Dreams, specializing in "tobacco accessories (aka bongs and bowls). The business was booming in those days until the governor's office got involved and squashed that idea. For more on Pipe Dreams, check out 1998's edition of ECU's annual arts publication The Rebel for a personal account of it. Also, the location that now houses Chico's was called Jason's, which was nothing more than a regular hang-out for the college crowd that had cheap sandwiches and good beer on tap. BW-3's was formerly a Belk's department store. Probably the biggest, most well-known downtown establishment in Greenville was The Elbo Room. We all ' know about The Elbo from our orientation days, but how many of you know that it was still in the same location in 1970? It hasn't moved or renamed Itself in 30 years?up until a few weeks ago, that is. It is now Cabana's, a retro and top 40 dance club. From what I understand, it is a pretty nice place. The music scene hasn't changed much over the years. The Attic, Greenville's most popular and longest lasting name In music, has withstood the test of time. After existing in Its present location for a few years after its initial opening, it moved to a building that burned to the ground not long after it moved In. After that, It returned to the present locale and has been there ever since. It has seen numerous major acts pass through its doors. From the Pointer Sisters to Widespread Panic to Jeff Foxworthy, the possibility of seeing a major talent in the making at The Attic is pretty much a given. Some buildings have humorous histories. Backdoor used to be called Super Ego, which was a hair salon and barber shop. Tiki Bar was formally a Goodyear Supply store and The Sports Pad was Leder Brothers, a clothing store.

Miccah Smith FH Assistant Editor It's cold outside, but you're sweating, tense, kneeling in a crude trench cut out of the earth. You're in a forest; gray winter trees have been dragging at your skin and clothes all day as you march through a rural area lugging an old-fashioned rifle, the unfamiliar heaviness of the weapon weighing your shoulder down. You're tired from digging and crouching and running, but all you can do now is peer over a mound of earth, rifle loaded, and hope you can squeeze off a shot at your enemies before they attack. Suddenly, a figure darts out from behind a bush. You brace your rifle, but he shoots first. You jerk back, then slump into the damp dirt at the bottom of the trench, eyes closed. You hear the crunch of boots on mulch as the enemy walks over to have a look at you. "Good game he says. "Now, it's our turn to defend Welcome to the rough-and- tumble world of war re- enactment, a living time machine of sorts for those with minds?and bodies?tough enough to give the gorier parts of history another shot. The American obsession with war has created a new pastime: the art of meticulously recreating uniforms, combat units and battlefield scenes from history's most docu- mented conflicts. Groups from all over the country train like soldiers and spend countless dollars on authentic uniforms (called "impressions") and weaponry. They converge on a single point at a single moment in time, usually for a weekend, where they recreate a specific point in war history together. To a younger generation raised on Rambo movies, skilled at comparing "Apocalypse Now" to "Saving Private Ryan" and mesmerized by unreal portrayals of the kind of full-scale war they're likely never to encounter, re-enactment is surprisingly addictive. A small group of die-hard ECU re-enactors lives for its brutal shock. Senior political science major Andy Vincent calls re-enact- ments "a perfect chance to learn history He's been involved in re-enactments, mostly of the World War II persuasion, for two years. "When you're in the event and you're in the woods for an entire weekend with 200 people, all of the same era, everyone is trying to recreate history Vincent said. "You really start to believe that you're a part of it. People avoid any references to the real world Re-enactors delve into a small, concentrated moment in history, aligning themselves with a particular army and living in the frenzy of a pitched battle for the weekend, using authentic firearms or replicas to fire blanks above each other's heads during combat. They get an education about war that books could never show them. "I like the action part said Luke Sanders, 25, who majored in Spanish. "It's fun. Instead of going to class, you go out in a field, and you pick up a gun and you shoot at people You learn a lot about history and culture, and you get to participate in an active way Senior history major Kevin Treadway currently leads a unit of three or four re-enactors in a series of drills, practice runs and work sessions on a rural tract of land 20 minutes outside Greenville. With his help, they are meshing into a historically accurate group capable of holding their own in some large-scale re-enactments this year. Most wars, especially those in the distant past, pose expen- sive challenges to re-enactors on college students' budgets. Making or purchasing a perfect "impression" requires money and luck. That's why the ECU group sticks to World War II. Their army of choice? Russian. "It's the cheapest said Treadway, who enjoys portraying a World War H-era Russian. "You can get a decent impression for around $150 "The Russian army basically destroyed some of the best German formations during the war Treadway said. "The Eastern front was a big meat-grinder for the German army The Russian army is also a convenient choice for Lisa O' Donnell, a senior computer science major. Since Russia was the only army during the war, and throughout most of history, to actually employ female soldiers during combat, she, unlike most female re-enactors, needs not disguise her femininity on the battlefield. O' Donnell says the feeling is "liberating and empowering. There is nothing like being in uniform, holding a rifle and knowing that you're authentic, being a woman in uniform, holding a rifle and shooting at Nazis Treadway, who has re- enacted World War I and the Revolutionary and Civil Wars, is a veteran to the very real emotions shared by re-enactors, a wave of experience that probably draws more "soldiers" than anything else. "It's a fairly safe but intense environment that creates a remarkably accurate view of combat Treadway said. "When you're in a forest, and several guys outfitted as Germans open-fire on you with machine guns, your mind tells you that they're just blanks, but your emotions scream, 'Fight or flight' and dump adrenaline into your system. It's an incredible high Although quite popular with re-enactors, World War-II is only a plot point on a time line. If a battle was fought, it's re-enactment fodder for some dedicated group. Unbeknownst to most Americans, the United States is a vast playground for the re-enactors, who tear through fields and forests from Pennsylvania to Oregon to Ohio, girded in everything from Medieval armor to Vietnam-era camouflage. Across the pond the mania is just as apparent. Not even Ireland or Top- re-enactors march in full battle gear Bottom- pretend Germans take pretend Russian Pums. (file photos) Wales are safe from stem- faced Roman armies and bands of Celts waving battle- axes. Nonetheless, realism and respect for war are at the heart of re-enactment, and if it's done right, it contains some of the essence of war that so fascinates our genera- tion. A battle can become real; a college student can become a soldier for one day. "If you allow yourself to fully participate, you realize the horror Vincent said. "You literally stop having a future. You're just in the battle For information on re- enacting, contact Kevin Treadway at 329-9121.

Bigger models strut new lingerie NEW YORK (AP) - For years, supermodel Kate Dillon starved herself to be thin. Then she got fed up. She started eating and stopped working as a "skinny model Today, the 5-foot-ll- inch, 175-pound Dillon is showing off revealing lingerie on the runway as part of retailer Lane Bryant's effort to kick off Cacique - its new line of plus-size lingerie and sleepwear. Lane Bryant, which already carries plus-size cloth- ing, hopes to make an impres- sion with its thongs, plunging lace bras and sleepwear for women sized 14 to 28. The national chain publicized a Wednesday night Webcast of its "intimate runway show" in major newspapers and trade publications. Its ads featured generously proportioned women stripping down to their underwear, and the words: "Big girls take back the night The runway show, held Tuesday in New York, included the likes of former Playboy Playmate of the Year Anna Nicole Smith, actress Kathy Najimy of the NBC show "Veronica's Closet" and Mia Tyler, daughter of Aerosmith's Steven Tyler. Before and after the show, movies of women posing seductively blanketed the walls of the packed studio. Like most lingerie runway shows, this one had models, most close to 6 feet tall, strutting to the beat and sporting garter belts, bustiers, camisoles and see-through nightgowns. But unlike those typically seen on television and in magazines, some of these models had cellulite and stretch marks. "They are very sexy, even if they are bigger said audi- ence-member Corrado Speziali. "A slim model gives you the wrong idea But slim models have been the norm until recently. "You couldn't have done this five years ago said Julie Lewit, founder of Mode maga- zine, which is targeted at plus- size women.

I am a connoisseur of television, and I haven't been excited by anything in months. All that changed last Monday night when I returned from doing the laundry to find Eminem and Dr. Die performing an incredible rendition of "Forgot About Ore" on USA. When they stepped off the stage to do an interview with the great Matt Pinfield, I turned up the volume and took a seat. The show is called "Jimmy and Doug's Farmclub and it's a modern piece of artistic genius. The first of its kind, the program is a totally interactive welcome wagon for the new century. It all begins on the Web site, Farmclub.com, where unsigned bands upload their songs to a database. Anyone can log onto the site, listen to the songs and vote on which performers they'd like to see on the show. The winners get a visit from Matt Pinfield and a one-time gig on the Farmdub stage, in front of a TV audience of millions. The big winners get a record deal too. In be- tween the new acts, Farmclub schedules current favorites. The premiere included two energy-charged performances from Eminem and Dr. Dre, as well as a mushy version of "I Do by 98 Degrees, fueled by scream- ing girls in the front row. The boy band's performance was the only nod to MTV to interrupt the tone of the program; it was a little out of place for a show that seeks out true musical talent. And anyone who's heard Pinfield's Limp Bizkit tirade knows he must have been slamming his head into rarmclub.com: the homepage, world wide web photo) a wall the whole way through the song. 98 Degrees, in fact, was the only band he didn't interview. They got to talk to the Doritos girl who was in their video, one of two hot chicks flanking the Bald Man during the show. He did sit down with Eminem and Dre, as well as the new bands before they performed and as they left the stage. It was one long easy- going discussion about good music with the man who knows more about it than anyone else from MTV land. The best thing about the show is its uncensored feel. Definitely not a program for the kiddies, hence its late-night scheduling, musicians are not made to change their lyrics, no matter how violent or disgust- ing. Although heavy cuss words are silenced, the words are still allowed to be said onstage, and the content of the song is never touched, like the cheesy radio version of Everlast's "Ends where we're not even allowed to hear "smoke" when "weed" is scratched out. 98 Degrees aside, there is no foolish MTV act here. This is all about the music and striving musicians. Rock bands, singing DJs, metalheads, punk rock- ers?it doesn't matter. Someone has.finally produced music television worth watching. Farmclub comes on Monday nights at 11 p.m. on USA. I urge you strongly to see it. If you don't have cable, this, if repeated showings of "Back to the Future" isn't enough, should be reason to get it. Screw MTV. They've been overshadowed by something better. This writer can be contacted at ftnmhimlmidaistudentmedia.ecu.edu. College students play to eat like a millionaire PHILADELPHIA (AP)- "Who Wants to Eat Like a Millionaire?" . Dozens of Philadel- phia college students do, and were hungry enough to bring their appetites to campus Thursday to compete for a six-course French meal in a crystal-lit room surrounded by silk- covered walls at one of Philadelphia's best-known restaurants, Le Bee-Fin. As a spin off of the ABC's "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire students at the University of Pennsylvania and Drexel University are taking advantage of the quiz craze and organizing their own version of the show to help bridge the gaps between the students at the two West Philadel- phia campuses. The campus of Penn, the city's claim to Ivy League status, sits just blocks from Drexel, a less prestigious and $ftiller private institution. The two school's crowds rarely mix, students say. To better school relations, several student associations are coordi- nating noncompetitive games to be held next week. The "Who Wants to Eat Like a Millionaire?" game will be conducted very similar to the popular TV show but instead of big cash prizes, the booty will be gift certificates from nearby eateries like the corner conve- nience store or a four-star restau- rant. "I'm not particularly a fan of 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire?' but we thought that since the two groups of students live down the block from each other and don't hang out, we would give them the opportunity to meet said Jon Herrmann, a 21-year-old Wharton senior and co- chairman of Penn's Social Planning and Events Commit- tee. Participants must choose their prospective dinner date before they compete for the show. The person they choose will also serve as their "phone a friend" life line, Herrmann said. Besides that game, student groups also organized a version of "The Dating Game" to help motivate more dating between the two groups. . "We wanted to get some love in the air since Valentine's Day is coming up said 21- year-old Jason McRae, president of the Black Student Union. He pondered organizing "The Dating Game" last year, and finally decided to propose it after discovering that the TV show was founded by Drexel alum Chuck Barris. Winners of this game will win a dinner and a movie date. Dozens of students registered for the university- funded games over the Internet this week, McRae said. Organiz- ers hope to have about 200 other students gather to watch the games. "The Dating Game" will take place at Drexel's student center on Feb. 9, and "Millionaire" is happening at Penn's student center on Feb. 10. "For me personally, I think it sounds kind of cheesy said Penn history student Greg jenemann, as he locked up his bicycle on campus. "1 already have friends that go to Drexel, but for the most part 1 think the two schools are just different socially.

But it's free and it's on campus and I was afraid that if I started with something more exciting I'd run out of ideas by March. You probably underestimate the value of a Mendenhall movie anyway. You probably don't appreciate the subtleties of watching a recently-released-to- video film with a crowd of loud people who like to throw things and laugh during the serious parts. So I went to Hendrix last Thursday to see Runaway Bride, to prove to you how exciting the experience is, but it wasn't really very exciting. So I'll just talk about the other times I've been to Hendrix to see movies over the years. It's not like other theaters, where that one girl keeps talking to her boyfriend and everybody keeps flashing her dirty looks but nobody says anything. There are no expensive popcorn buckets that 10 people couldn't consume or 2-gallon sodas that make you have to do the mad dash to the bathroom three times when you think there's a slow part (although the moment you're gone there will be a major plot twist on which the entire comprehension of the film hinges. I know this. I have a small bladder.) There is, however, The Spot. Here you can buy candy and soda, both of which you can either throw or consume?it's up to you. (By throwing soda, I mean you can suck some up in a straw and then squirt it out at people.) By the time you've finished the previews, you can be so full of Raisinets and caffeine that you're too busy running across the stage naked, screaming, "Look at me! I'm naked to pay attention to the gradually build- ing romance that symbolizes man's devotion to his inner child. The Spot also provides one-stop shopping for all freshmen who want to use up their declining balance and gain some of those important 15 pounds at the same time, although you may work them off again while you run around naked. You never go to Hendrix if you actually want to see a movie. It's kind of like that small party where somebody put in Howard the Duck just to have something on TV while everybody talks about how much they hate the foreign language requirement. Hendrix is more like a junior version of "Mystery Science Theater 3000 but with more people. You're basically going to a movie with all these friends you've never met. One time, my fresh- man year, we were shown a special preview of Ransom right before It hit the theaters. Right when Gary Sinese catches a few bullets to the chest, some guy yelled out, in his best Forrest Gump: "They shot Lieutenant Dan and the whole theater exploded in a giant hysterical convul- sion until nobody could possibly have understood the dialogue for about 10 minutes. That is Hendrix. That's FILMS AT HENDRIX what makes it fun. Those people who don't shut up, who laugh when the teenagers are murdered in the prime of their innocent youth, who make appropriate jokes in the least appropriate moments?those are the people who make it all worthwhile. Them and that girl who sits downstairs and shushes as loud as she possibly can while the loud people laugh at her and yell even louder. Then she gets really mad and starts cussing them out until they almost get into a fight and the whole theater can't hear the movie. That's entertain- ment. Always go to see an action movie. Explo- sions are better when accompanied by cheers and funny comments, especially Lethal Weapon films. Especially the fourth one, where that Chinese guy with the rat tail takes a gun apart and knocks Murtoch and Riggs out with one swift motion. You know what I'm talking about. You sat open-mouthed in awe when it happened, too. Hendrix shows films on Wednesdays at 7 p.m. and Thursdays at 10 p.m or is it Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 3 p.m.? Or Thursdays at 7:30 p.m. and Fridays and Saturdays at 10 p.m.? 1 guess they show some movies at some time on some day of the week. Call the Student Union for the times because frankly, I can never figure out the schedule over there. The number is 328-4715. Ask for the employee who answers the phone and tell them I sent you.
