TUESDAY. MAY 2, 2000 TODAY'S WEATHER Showers, high of 80' and a low of 56� Eakin steps down as university chancellor Chancellor to remain at ECU until successor named Terra Steinbeiser NEWS EDITOR Last Thursday, Chancellor Richard Eakin an- nounced that he will retire from his position as ECU's chief executive officer as soon as a successor is named. Eakin, who has served as ECU's chancellor for 13 years, will be taking a research leave but will return later to serve as University Professor of Edu- cational Leadership. "While it is never easy to decide when to de- clare one's departure from university leadership, this feels like the right time for me Eakin said. Eakin cited ECU's future needs, which will re- quire long-term commitment, as one of the rea- sons behind his decision to resign. "The university is expected to grow at an un- precedented pace Eakin said. "Accompanying that growth will be the parallel challenge of pro- viding classrooms, laboratories, offices and resi- dence halls for those new students and teachers. These ventures will be of significant duration and will benefit from uninterrupted leadership University of North Carolina President Molly Broad praised Eakin's achievements and contribu- tions to the university and community during his tenure. "Over the past 13 years, ECU and eastern North Carolina have been the beneficiaries of his leader- ship and vision, for even as he has worked to strengthen ties with the local community, Chan- cellor Eakin has helped push the reach of ECU far- ther out into the region and the state Broad said. "Under his watch, the ECU campus has achieved Doctoral II status and has made great strides in sponsored research, fund-raising and technology iniatives Phil Dixon, Chair of the Board of Trustees (BOT), expressed his admiration and respect for Eakin. "The university has grown and prospered in nearly every way during (Eakin's tenure Dixon said. "What we have accomplished in recent years, from academics to funding athletics, has been truly remarkable, and the chancellor played a major role in all of our achievements The search for a new chancellor will begin as soon as the BOT forms a search committee. The committee will be made up of faculty members, students and trustees. The committee will submit to Broad the names of at least two finalists from the nation-wide search for consideration. The presi- dent will then nominate a finalist to be the new chancellor. The final decision is made by the UNC Board of Governors, the governing body of all 16 universities in the UNC system. At the request of the ECU BOT, Eakin will remain in office until a successor is chosen. This writer can be contacted at news@tec.ecu.edu. Chancellor Richard Eakin announced last Thursday that he will be retiring from his position at ECU.

Student continues to recover from accident Angela Harne ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR � � -Sophomore Mark Eagle is on the rdad to recovery and plans to return to ECU for classes in the fall. ' On Feb. 19, Eagle was hit by a car when attempting to cross 10th Street near Miami Subs. He was transported to Pitt County Memo- rial Hospital (PCMH) with serious head and internal injuries. According to Eagle's mother, Nancy LeQuire, her son spent 25 days in the intensive care unit of PCMH. Eagle was released from PCMH on March 17, and was then trans- ported to the J.

Gunfire erupts at Texas Two Step ECUPD aids in arrests, holds suspects REAP dedicates new playground $10,000 gift funds structure Caroline Jordan STAFF WRITER JC; Last Saturday, members of Jvjhe Remedial Education Activi- ?ties Program (REAP) celebrated �"he completion of their new �playground. REAP, which is run under the School of Education's depart- ment of special education, re- ceived $10,000 from Irene Howell of the Howell Center in Greenville to construct the play- ground. The Howell Center is a residential facility for children with significant medical needs and who are unable to be cared for at home, including children who are wards of the state. Howell, along with her .hus- band and other family members, were some of the approximately 90 people in attendance, includ- ing faculty from the School of Education. "It was obvious the kind of com- mitment she and her family have to children with disabilities said Dr. Marilyn Sheerer, dean of the School of Education. According to Lead Teacher Kim Koen, staff from Harrelson and Smith Contractors saved REAP over $2,000 in time and equipment. "They had a very big role Koen said. On Saturday, an engraved plaque was adhered to the purple and gold playground dedicating it to Howell. Harrelson and Smith Contractors were also thanked for their time and effort. Some previ- ous REAP participants were in atten- dance along with the 16 children that are enrolled in this year's pro- gram. Of the 16 children in the pro- gram, 14 have special needs and two are developing typically-without any handicap. "It was a great day Koen said. "The kids really had a wonderful time REAP provides direct educa- tional and related services to pre- school children with develop- mental delays such as Autism and Downs Syndrome. "It really represents our com- mitment to providing early in- tervention to children with problems Sheerer said. "A lot of these preschool children wouldn't have any place to go. We are pleased to offer these pro- grams The REAP staff also provides supervision for students com- pleting course requirements for observation, practicum, student teaching, internship, and certi- fication In birth to kindergarten. The program's previous wooden playground was torn down in 1997 after failing to comply with new state regula- tions for day care arid preschool facilities. The playground is es- sential for observation of REAP children's gross motor learning development, sensory needs, and social development. This writer can be contacted at cjordan@tec.ecu.edu. Angela Harne ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR Last Friday, gunfire was ex- changed in the Texas Two Step club parking lot, leaving two wounded and one arrested. The Greenville Police Depart- ment (GPD) classified the incident as an 'assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury According to Melissa Bartlett of the GPD, gunshots were fired once the club was closed after a confron- tation between several individuals ' escalated in the parking lot. Both Santez Keys, a non-student from Washington, N.C and Collin Johnson, a non-student from Or- lando, Fla were transported to Pitt County Memorial Hospital (PCMH) for treatment of gunshot wounds. PCMH personnel were unable to comment of the victims' current conditions due to confidentiality is- sues. ECU officers apprehended two suspects involved in the shooting on the sidewalk north of the Human Resources and Institutional Ad- vancement Building and held them until the GPD arrived on the scene. According to Bartlett, three sus- pects have been detained by the GPD for questioning. Bartlett said non-student, Carlester Taylor was arrested and charged with carrying a concealed weapon, along with possession of a stolen firearm. She said Taylor was found in the area after the shoot- ing. As the investigation continued, Taylor received additional charges. According to Captain K.M. Smeltzer of the GPD, Taylor was charged with discharging a firearm in city limits and possession of con- trol substances. Bartlett said the substances found could not be released at the present time. Smeltzer added that Charles Bell, a Greenville resident, was also charged with discharging a firearm within city limits. Neither Bell or Taylor were injured. Bartlett said J.P. Madigan, an of- ficer of the GPD, fired his weapon during the Incident. She said it is "policy" that anytime an officer fires his weapon, the Greenville Police Firearms Discharge Team must in- vestigate to make sure it can be jus- tified with due cause. Detective Steve Pass of the GPD's major crime unit is currently con- tinuing investigations dealing with all parties involved. Smeltzer said that anyone with information pertaining to the shoot- ing is asked to call the GPD, 329- 4317 or Crime Stoppers, 758-7777. This writer can be contacted at aharne@tec.ecu.edu.

State University-Iii the wake of the Littleton school massacre, authori- ties, parents and the nation scurry to find someone, something to blame for the horrible tragedy! Some look to the parents of the at- tackers, to the police, who were pre- sented with threats from the killers' Web site a year or more before the shooting, and to the NRA for lack of gun control. Robert Schrag, professor of commu- nication at North Carolina State Univer- sity and nationally recognized expert on the effects of media on children, looks to the media, as do many others, as a source of the violence. "The more violent and aggressive the television that a child watches, the more we see fairly consistent trends through- out the child's life Schrag said. "They tend to themselves and behave in more aggressive ways; they tend to choose aggressive solutions even on a pen-and- pencil test more quickly than a child that has not watched a lot of violent televi- sion ' The image of men in black shooting up things, of dissatisfied people taking out there rage in a violent blaze of glory, is one that has been burned onto society's retinas in the past few years by the entertainment and news industry. "The problem, I think, and the thing that concerns me with the Colorado shootings is that it would be far more unnerving if it was more surprising Schrag said. "The problem is it wasn't very surprising From recently fired, disgruntled postal workers taking out their superi- ors and co-workers, coining the phrase going "postal to the alienated student dressed in a trench coat, shooting up his school during a dream sequence in a movie, society has come to expect such tragedies. "As we listen to the children who escaped talking about it, how they were sitting in their classroom and suddenly they heard gunshots and bombs going off, what in a child's life would make it so immediately apparent to them that those are gunshots and those are bombs going off?" Schrag said. "How many gun- shots and bombs have you hear in real life? Violence is something that has been normalized in our world by its over- whelming presence in our media, both entertainment and information media Schrag's work on media violence manifesting itself in a child's behavior is based on concept of narratives, a child internalizing behavior viewed in media as a script for hisher own behavior. "The seemujg relationship is that children from a variety of areas, media being only one, create perceptions about what is true in the world and how they are supposed to behave in the world on the basis of what is true Schrag said. The normalization of violence and the building of these violent narrative scripts in children's psyches has resulted in an increase in massacres like those in Littleton, Color and these tragedies will continue, according to Schrag. "If everywhere I look in my entertain- ment media and the news I'm seeing automatic weapons and people using them as a normal way of resolving con- flicts, that normalizes the narrative for me Schrag said. "Then I, the disen- chanted, the suicidal, the alienated, frus- trated person, say 'What's the appropri- ate way for me to act this out?' And sud- denly we see another round of videotape of children fleeing automatic weapon fire According.ro Schrag1, when a child sees violence in the media and knows nothing else to understand that it is not the true way to handle things, then the only way heshe knows to deal with a conflict is through violence. University of Houston-University of Houston Students can expect some changes to the propaganda and mass communication curriculum the next time the course is taught on campus thanks to the Elian Gonzalez case. It may be a political, legal and immi- gration issue, but communication pro- fessor Garth Jowett said the five-month custody dispute over Gonzalez will pro- vide fodder for propaganda researchers for years to come. "It's clearly a very interesting case study about how poor old Elian ended up in the middle of what was a very con- tentious, hut also very interesting, pro- paganda battle he said. Jowett and Montana State University Professor Victoria O'Dorinell are already discussing how the case will be worked into the next edition of their book, "Pro- paganda and Persuasion Jowett currently teaches a graduate seminar on propaganda in the School of Communication. After weeks of research and lively class discussions, he said he finds it interesting how people interpret a single event. "It's just a matter 1 guess of how you phrase it, how the way people look at the same event and phrase it two differ- ent ways he said. As an example, he cited interpreta- tions of Saturday's Associated Press photo that depicted an armed federal agent confronting Gonzalez and his res- cuer, Donato Dalrymple. While the government may have downplayed the potential for violence, Jowett cited columnist William Satire's use of language to emphasize how close the operation came to bloodshed. The way the media portrayed the photo also disappointed Jowett. "I was concerned on Saturday morn- ing at the repetition, the number of times the picture was presented without countermeasure he said. "There was no attempt to interpret the picture beyond what it visually apparently showed As pundits and Monday morning quarterbacks chimed in with their inter- pretation of last weekend's events, Jowett said he was surprised to discover how he and conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh had reached two different conclusions over whether Gonzalez's media exposure was a good thing. "I just found that amazing, from my own psychology, that here are two people, Rush and myself, looking at the; same event and coming up to a 180-de gree different opinion about it-his no- tion that Klian should be made available! to the press at any and all times as being! a good thing Jowett said. In the future, Jowett said he doesn't; expect propagandists to learn from the! events of the past five months. "People don't learn he said. "They never learn from these events But he said you can't fool everyone all of the time: "The audience learns, though. The audience has some residual memories that indicate they need to be more cautious about these things and pay more attention to them Despite the belief that it is possible for the public to wise up to these tactics, Jowett cautioned that as long as propa- gandists appeal to people's emotions, they will never learn from their mistakes. "One would like to believe that, but it doesn't happen he said. "There's no! clear indication, looking at the history' of propaganda, that that's ever hap- pened. People get a little more leery, but when emotions are involved, then all the rules fly out of the window and past his- tory means nothing Corona Pacifico Dos Equis inr.o df; Mayojfc riday, AAay 5 Tans- $4 Keep the Glass & $2.25 Refills ' 23 oz Bass, Harp, Guinness, Black N' Tans- $3.25 $2 Domestic 23 oz Bud, Bud Light, Miller Lite, Natural, icenouse, Kniiing Rock ' $2.75 Michelob Light :$ Every Night- 22 oz Kirin Ichiban bottle wlime- $2.75 " "� " � f� "� " " " "� $2.99 Tax Available at Greenville 10th Street McDonald's Only "4ir v v � . � .

In such situations, researchers are often reluctant to discuss their work. Other sources siid the researchers are also worried that publicity could jeopardize grant applications. Researchers at other medical schools have stumbled and failed at this stage. Don P. Wolf, a reproductive bi- ologist at the Oregon Regional Pri- mate Center, knows the pitfalls of this kind of research. He published preliminary studies in 1997 report- ing success in techniques needed to clone a monkey, but he has not suc- ceeded in cloning an adult monkey. "If they succeed cloning from an adult cell, that would be a big break- through, especially if they do it quickly Wolf said. "My bias is, you may be able to succeed at a very low frequency. The success rates are pretty low. We have argued we can't afford to make and transfer embryos that we have little confidence are capable of leading to a pregnancy Dr. Dee Schramm, a reproduc- tive biologist at the Wisconsin Re- gional Primate Research Center at the I Iniversity of Wisconsin, said he is trying to make genetically identi- cal monkeys using a method differ- ent from the one being used at Wake Forest. Instead of transferring ge- netic information from an adult monkey, he is working at splitting embryos produced through the nor- mal union between a sperm and an egg into identical twins and triplets. The monkeys he breeds are used in AIDS research. Wolf came to Winston-Salem about six months ago to talk with Grant and her colleagues, who in- clude Dr. Kent E. Vrana, a researcher who specializes in alcoholism and drug abuse, and Dr. Michael R. Adams, a primate specialist. ' The team is also working with a biotechnology company in Massa- chusetts called Advanced Cell Tech- nology. The company holds a patent for a cloning technique. Its scientists work with cloned cows to perfect techniques for cloning hu- man cells for potential use in organ replacement and other medical therapies. Company researchers report in Friday's issue of the journal Science that six cows they have cloned show none of the premature aging that scientists previously found in Dolly the cloned sheep. The finding could ease fears that cloned cells age too fast to be useful against diseases. Advanced Cell Technology presi- dent Dr. Michael D. West said he could'no't comment on his work with the Wake Forest team because the university had asked him not to �. zz- Clinton says he supports D.Cs gun buyback program WASHINGTON (AP)-Presi- I dent Clinton threw his support J Friday behind a gun buyback program in the District of Co- i lumbia, pushing aside criticisms I that the programs are ineffective ! because they draw only old, cheap guns from people desper- ' ate for money. The president went to the Metropolitan Police Department's training facility on the south side of town to promote another city gun buyback scheduled for June 23. Mayor Anthony Will- iams said the city would devote 1250,000 to the gun purchases, and Clinton added another $100,000 from the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development. Clinton called the District's buybacks one of the most success- ful in the country a bittersweet victory for a police department that has seen several officers slain in recent years and just wit- nessed an Easter Monday shoot- ing that wounded seven children outside the National Zoo, includ- ing one police sergeant's little brother.

OURVIEW OPINION COLUMN Everyone rejoice-my last column this year Patrick McMahon OPINION COLUMNIST If I have learned one thing this school year it is humility. This year has provided me with a voice through my columns that, for the most part, has been the highlight of my experience at this school. The job of being an opinion columnist with a conscious is not easy. By having my opinions on various issues printed on a regular basis, I open myself up to vari- ous hate mail, attempted physical assaults and death threats, all of which 1 have received in record-break- ing levels. People seem to think that I am the voice of Satan and that if I write something they don't like, then they have the right to call me at home, come to my home, call my parents and cuss at them and do any- thing they want to me because they don't like what I said. I will be the first to admit when I'm wrong and will be the first to apologize for something blatantly offensive, but to date I stand by everything I've writ- ten. Well everything except that "Yankee" column I wrote. That was a bad idea that with even worse ex- ecution. I thought I could joke about it but dammit, I don't think the joke was told all that well. I also would like to give thanks to everyone who took time out to e-mail me with a reply to my col- umn. Without your feedback, I would never have a clear idea as to how I am doing as a writer. I encour- age all of you to reply to columns. To be paid, even the meager sum the newspaper provides, for something as simple as conveying my thoughts in print is crazy to me but also appreciated. This job has convinced me to declare myself a cre- ative writing major with a minor in journalism. So if you hate me now, you gonna hate me in five years when I'm writing for Rolling Stone or working at MTV. I really love this job and the people it has allowed me to meet. From eating dinner with Eve backstage at the Ruff Ryders concert to meeting various bands at The Attic, it has given me more than I ever could repay. And despite what many of you probably think, I love each and every one of you. Without you I probably would have quit a long time ago. You have made this job fun. Probably because you give me the most material to write about. From all of these past trials and tribulations, I am proud of what I have done with both of my columns in TEC and being entertainment editor for The Fountain- head. Emily Little, the head editor for TheFountainhead, has taken that publication to another level. Working here also gave me the opportunity to meet Shannon Meek. She was a true 'personality' in every sense of the word; the world has lost a beacon of light with her death. Shannon was a beautiful soul. She will be missed. I have made a conscious effort to make a name for myself through my columns and hopefully I have done that. Maybe if the new editor doesn't mind a few law- suits and death threats, she will let me come back and write in the summer and fall. You people have been my inspiration and motiva- tion and I offer my sincerest thanks and gratitude. Thank you all for a wonderful year and good luck on your fi- nals. This writer can be contacted at pmcmahon@tec.ecu.edu. OPINION COLUMN No goodbyes, only until next time Angela Harne ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR I can't say that I really have a huge opinion about anything right now, except getting through finals and heading up back to Maryland for the summer. So rather than ranting and raving about some random topic I'd rather just send you the best wishes for the last days of the semester as we look forward to what the future will bring. ' Let's see, I survived my freshman year at ECU while loving every second of it. Luckily, I don't have any roommate horror stories or homesick sob sagas. I have picked up on the 'college life' scene and have made the most of it. After all, they do say these are the best days of our lives. I've met some great friends and those that help make life lessons clearer. Unfortunately, many of my new buds are seniors and will be leaving this quaint little town. Best of luck to all of you. I would especially like to wish Holly the best of luck in Florida. Thanks for being 'cut- throat'�you've taught me more than you'll ever know. And to Terra�enjoy Australia! It's been an honor being your assistant. I'll miss you in the fall. Guess it will be time for a "fresh start To the rest of you, thanks'for the good times. I'll never forget them. And those returning in the fall, have a fun and safe summer. Can't wait until we live it up again. Best of luck on finals! This writer can be contacted at aharne@tec.ecu.edu. Chancellor Richard Eakin has decided to leave us. Before he arrived, there was no Ledonia Wright Cultural Center, no Sonic Plaza, no Stu- dent Recreation Center. You could get Coke on campus, but we weren't in Conference USA. Playboy never came here, but the SWAT team did on Halloween, and we were not a Doctoral II university. Over the past 13 years, Richard Eakin has been an ally for the stu- dents and teachers at this school. He has overseen our development from a hospital-based education-heavy university to a beautiful campus offering a plethora of excellent departments with impressive degrees. And now he's leaving. TEC would like to know, does this mean we won't get our sign? Eakin promised us a sign, and we haven't gotten it yet. And that makes us wonder what other wonderful ideas are leaving us with his departure. We just got started on the pedestrian campus. What if the new man or woman hasn't got the stuff? What if the cam- pus deteriorates to a mass of backhoes and dirt piles with no parking anywhere? What do we do then? We can at least pressure him to give us our sign before he goes. It would be one more wondrous accom- plishment for the record books. In the meantime, we can only hope our next chancellor will collect a record as impressive as Eakin's. So, Chancellor Eakin, thanks for being such a good leader. We'll miss you. And put in a good word for us with the new guygal. Tell him or her to give us a sign.

Iferi'Sbg&lsgML Editor-in-chief says farewell Holly Harris EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Three years ago when I first crossed the threshold of the TEC office I never imagined that I would be sitting here in this chair, in this office, saying goodbye to my university as the Editor-in-Chief of our stu- dent newspaper. In this capacity I rarely have time to write anything for the publication that I have lived for during the past year. So now, as I look back over the course of my time here I want to take a moment to thank those who have made our journey this year meaningful, and offer a bit of advice to those who have presented themselves as roadblocks at every turn. This year I have been the captain of a ship that sailed stormy seas. It has been a time of heartbreak and loss for our entire campus community, and it seemed that at every turn we at The East Carolinian were the messenger of bad news. We faced the loss of our homes and tangible memories; not only here in Greenville, but also in our hometowns as well. We were forced to bury our own, counsel our friends and try to forge ahead through classes that were losing meaning in the face of adversities that seemed im- possible to bear. In the face of all of this, a select group of people worked to keep information in our grasp�to keep our campus bound and united through information. It is these people that I want to thank as I walk out of this door for good. It is these people who taught me the definition of journalism and passion, and painted these virtues into their writing every day. I have had the honor to work with some of the finest collegiate writers, artists and photographers in the country. They have taken on topics that are diffi- cult to write and design about, and have done it all in a tasteful, professional manner. For every story that I have marked up with my dreaded red pen, there were three that I sat in my office and wished I had written. My reporters have dealt with terrifying is- sues this year and have learned by trial and error as well as sheer determination to listen critically, write effectively and represent their fellow students' inter- ests totally. I am utterly, unshakably and unreserv- edly proud. However, there is still something else that needs to be said. For those eternally complaining naysayers who deride the efforts of our campus journalists and al- ways find something to complain about in every is- sue of the paper, let me describe a day in the life of an East Carolinian staff member. In fact, the abridged ver- sion will suffice to draw an appropriate image: 8 a.m wake up, go to work; 9 a.m6 p.m call contacts, go to class, run to courthouse to pick up document, go to class, go back to courthouse, call more contacts, go to class; 7 p.m2 a.m eat breakfast, edit section, think about maybe doing homework. We work demanding full-time jobs while doing calculus homework and attending geology lectures. So, if you have a problem with us, either join our ranks and help us to improve or shut your trap. We always appreciate advice, mentoring and new employ- ees�all of which have been in short supply over the course of this tragic year. So please, if you think you might want to write, edit, take pictures, design pages or even sell advertising, we want you. If you are a faculty member and have experience you think might help us hone our skills, we want you. Your campus wants you too�you can make a difference. We would like to thank some of the people on campus who have made our lives and our publica- tion more rich and complete. Dean of Students, Ronald Speier has been our advocate in every way. From offering his support and advice to coming to every event we hold, Dean Speier has been fantastic. His loss will be keenly felt. Chancellor Richard Eakin has always responded to our phone calls, made ev- eryone else respond to our phone calls and eternally laughed at our (ahem) pointed editorial cartoons. Marie Britt, Janet Respass and Yvonne Moye have been our mothers and our friends�we love you. And last, but not least I, and everyone at TEC would like to thank our adviser, Paul Wright. There are no words to say how phenomenally patient, kind and intelli- gent he is. There is absolutely no way we would have made it through the year without him. Finally, I want to thank my staff for a great ride. From Man Beast Alpha to the PL and the Wall of Shame, you've been inspiring. Oh, that FS. You made me laugh at myself and I love you all for it. I have looked hot death in the face and let me tell you, it's a rotten opinion column that nobody is going to find funny. I'm off to 'make a fresh start if you want me you can just get me on the horn. Pugstein will miss you, adieu. This writer can be contacted at editor@tec.ecu.edu. OPINION COLUMN Thank goodness it's summer Dorcas Brule OPINION COLUMNIST Why do things never seem to go the way they should? Is it their logical progression for my benefit? Although this isn't in the correct order, my first gripe is about the weather. Eastern North Carolina has got to have the most messed up weather patterns in the world. I know it's illogical, but I feel as though this location really does have its own special weather pat- terns that have been carefully created and calculated to disrupt my life, and the lives of my fellow ECU stu- dents. Last semester we had to deal with Floyd and flood- ing at the most inconvenient time. I mean, hello, couldn't the weather have waited to give us that two week break when we really needed it instead of a short month after classes had started? And because ECU was the most affected university, I tend to think we have a weather curse. For instance, here we are in the midst of beginning our exam week and the weather is BEAU- TIFUL. We don't even have reading day to enjoy it because Mother Nature cursed us with snow earlier in the semester and now we have make up snow days. And that snow subject is another thing. I don't know about you, but upon moving to eastern North Carolina, snow was the last thing I expected. Next week and the week after, when exams are over I swear we are going to have crappy weather. I've learned that that's just the way it goes in this state at this school - perhaps just in my life. Something good happens, It rains snows hurricanes or floods. My next, rather unrelated gripe is about financial aid. Although, as an English major-and we all know what that means-I can skillfully tie in everything fcfy saying that it was raining when I realized I had no fi- nancial aid to finish off my last semester at ECU. t figures, mood weather. Yes I've only got one morf summer session to go and they're telling me that they can't give me the financial aid to cover it. I went to summer school last year, spent the same amount of financial aid during the normal school year and still had enough to cover both summer sessions. What gives? I think they just don't like me. But, really, I won- der if they're just trying to make me stay and spend more money. I won't do it, I won't. If I have to sell my body on 5th Street to make the money, I will. I swear I'm leaving this place! 1 Although, because I'm basically a happy person 1 can't end this tirade of mine on a bad note, so I musi admit that despite horrid weather, exams and lack ol financial aid I'm happy to say that it is the end of the semester, and THANK GOD. Be safe this summer, everyone, don't try to bring your crazy ECU antics to your hometowns you might really get arrested. This writer can be contacted at dbrule@tec.ecu.edu. The East Carolinian .www.tec.ecu.edu FEATURES Tuesday, May 2, 2000 features@tec.ecu.edu Tuesday, www.tec.e li II g FEATURES BRIEFS Vegetarians can barbecue too When people think of a barbecue, they often think of slapping a steak on the grille. However many people, namely Vegetarians, can be quite creative in utilizing the grille for a meal more in tune with their eating habits. Here are some creative recipes adapted from the vegetarian so- ciety Web page, www.vegsoc.org. Perhaps even those carnivores out there would enjoy a non- -f fe traditional meal them- M mMp selves. Bonne Appetite! BARBECUED VEGETABLES Most vegetables are delicious when barbe- cued, either cooked straight on the grill or wrapped in foil and thrown into the hot coals. INGREDIENTS: VEGETABLES � redyellow peppers, whole � courgettes, sliced in half lengthwise � aubergine, thickly sliced � sweet potatoes, thickly sliced � onions, cut in half MARINADE � 75 ml5 tbsp olive oil � 1 large clove garlic, crushed � 30 ml2 tbsp mixed summer herbs, finely chopped � salt and freshly ground black pepper 1. In a screw top jar combine the marinade ingredients together, shaking well. 2. Brush the vegetables with the marinade and set aside for at least half an hour to enable the flavors to develop. 3. Before barbecuing brush the vegetable pieces once again with the marinade and sprinkle some extra seasoning over them. 4. Barbecue over a grill, turning frequently. 5. Alternatively, pierce each whole vegetable with a fork, place on a square of foil, add 2 tbsp of marinade, wrap the square of foil around the vegetable and cook in the coals until soft. SPICED ALMOND DIP Serve with bread sticks or sliced pita bread. INGREDIENTS: � 40 g1.2 oz flaked almonds � 1 clove garlic, crushed � pinch cayenne pepper � 2.5 ml12 tsp salt � 2 small tomatoes, skinned & finely choppet � 30 ml2 tbsp red wine vinegar � 150 ml14 pint olive oil s 1. Lightly roast the almonds under a grill and leave to cool. 2. Grind finely in a nut grinder. 3. Put the almonds, garlic, cayenne pepper, salt, tomatoes & vinegar into a liquidizer and blend. 4. Add the oil very slowly while blending, until the whole mixture is amalgamated. 5. Chill well. BARBECUED FRUIT The best way to barbecue fruit is by making fruit kebabs All firm fruits give delicious results, especially when slightly marinated in an alcoholic sugar syrup, so that the outside of the fruit pieces caramelize. INGREDIENTS: FRUIT � pineapple, cubed � apple, cubed � pear, cubed � melon, cubed � strawberries, whole MARINADE � 75 g3 oz sugar � 60 ml4 tbsp water � liqueur (any) 1. Thread alternative fruit pieces onto skewers. 2. In a medium pan gently heat the sugar and water until all the sugar has dissolved, and the syrup has thickened slightly. 3. Allow to cool before adding the liqueur of your choice. 4. Brush the fruit with the marinade and leave to one side to enable the flavors to de velop. 5. Before barbecuing, brush the kebabs once again with the marinade. 6. Barbecue over the grill, turning frequently, until the outside of the fruit begins to cara melize. RELAY FOR L continues despite Participants join fight against cancer Susan Wright FEATURES EDITOR "I am a survivor of seven years said Kathleen Cox, Relay for Life vol- unteer. "The Relay for life is really important and I'm very committed to it Although the fight against AIDS is popular among celebrities and highly publicized fund raiser, cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States. Second-only to heart disease, cancer is a far more deadly killer than AIDS. In the United States, one out of every four deaths is caused by cancer. Nearly five million lives have been lost to cancer since 1990. The American Cancer Society tracks cancer occurrence, including the number of deaths, the number of cases and how long people survive after diagnosis. This year about 552,200 Americans are expected to die of cancer, more than 1,500 people a day. In 2000, about 1,220,100 new cancer cases are expected to be diagnosed. On April 28 and 29, approximately 1,500 Greenville residents and stu- dents ran, walked or skipped around the track during the 24-hour Relay for Life. Survivors, people who have lost family members to cancer and those who simply believe in supporting a good cause were out braving the rain Friday night. "I lost my mother to cancer in 1989, and that's why 1 try to come out here and support this every year said Bill Dawson, a member of State Employees Association of North Carolina (SEANC). "This is my fifth or sixth year. "We have 31 people on our team walking to support the cause Dawson said. Not only was SEANC walking the track, but they were also cooking up food for any hungry passers-by. Although it was raining, the attitudes of the participants were buoyed by the loud music blaring from the speakers mostly oldies, and good food everywhere.

"I think this is a great cause because if you don't have cancer yourself, you probably know someone who has it. It's very worthwhile to try and find a cure. Another reason why I'm here is because when I went to ECU, the American Cancer Society gave me a scholarship to go to nursing school, so I support what they do Memorial Baptist's Youth Group was there as well, and they were em- bracing the cause to learn about the importance of fellowship and com- munity. "We always get them together, and ft's always a great time of fellow- ship and fun said Judith McCoy, Memorial Baptist Youth Leader. "And it helps to know that we're doing it for a good cause According to Jenn Prichard, the co-chair for the event, the American Cancer Society of Greenville was hoping to raise120,000 from this event.

Seven dance pieces were featured during the performance. The choreography and ex- ecution of complicated moves in "Barbie 2000 "Tip History-The 20th Century Taps" and "Transitional Illuminations"(by Leo's Gold award recipient Mia Michaels as choreogrd- pher) were climactic moments in the perfor- mance. Several dance styles were featured. For in- stance, the dances were classical in "Rustic Wedding Variations" and more contemporary in "Barbie 2000" and "The 20th century taps The musical selection was very diverse in "Barbie 2000" and it ranged from performers like The Mills Brothers to Elvis Presley via Little Richard. There was a variety of musical genres throughout the performance. Classical music composers and performers such as Vivaldi and Vanessa Mae were featured along with con- temporary performers like Velva Blu, Tom Wasinger and Jim Harvey. Unique Percussive rhythms added zest to "Tap History The overture was a choreography titled "Rustic Wedding Variations" performed to music composed by Karl Goldmark. The piece was well orchestrated with a choreography directed by Joseph Carow and the dancers demonstrated very good abilities in working as group. "Barbie 2000" was choreographed by Patricia Pertallion, and it was performed with a humorous and ironic edge featuring a drag queen as Barbie. It also featured a funny Go- rilla and some sexy dominatrices that re- ceived a big ovation from the public. The dancers of this piece added good facial and body expressions to their performances which was a bonus to the quality of this piece. "The Tap History-The 20th Century Taps" piece was the first part of the spec- tacle. It was divided in five parts and the last part was the greatest one. The decors were completely changed. The theater was dark and the public could only see the fluo- rescent shoes of the tappers. Added to that, instead of music, students Collin Batten and Jeremy Woodard played percussion on empty paint buckets. The ensembles of performers were suc- cessful; in conveying their artistic message because of the apparent teamwork in every move. Each performer gave a part of him- self in the dance and they were able to come up together with a very expressive choreog- raphy. The dancers had meaningful body ex- pressions and a good sense of acting. Also, the costumes and sets were appropriate to each piece. At each curtain close, applause filled the theater. Lighting and sound designer Ken White and his assistants also contributed a lot to the success of this representation with im- pressive lighting and sound designs. The most interesting part of "Dance 2000" was the creativity that appeared in the various choreographer's works. It added to the excellent and unique quality of the performance. Dancers showed a lot of self- discipline and endless practice sessions through their well-coordinated perfor- mances. "Dance 2000" was a successful perfor- mance, showcasing the talent and hard work of the dancers, production staff and chore- ographers.

(7-571 sails into theaters WWII submarine flick offers great intensity, entertainment Maura Buck FEATURES ASSISTANT EDITOR There is a new fish in the sea and it's creating some major waves at the box office despite the fact that the film was released April 21. U-571 contains stars such as Matthew McConaughey, Jon Bon Jovi, Harvey Keitel and Bill Paxton while telling the story of a team of U.S. Sol- diers during World War II. The soldiers are sent on a mission to sneak aboard a disabled German U- boat (or as we know it, a submarine) to steal an en- cryption device. This device would help America and its allies win the war and take down Hitler's regime. Lt. Andrew Tyler, played by McConaughey, has yet to attain command of his own boat because Commander Mike Dahlgren claims that he is not ready. When their plan fails, McConaughey finds himself in command of eight other men desperately trying to keep things in order in a half-dying ship. In fact, not only is the en- gine dying, but also every- thing is in German. Oh, and let us not forget that there are only a few torpedoes left. Throughout the dura- tion of the picture, there is an overwhelming eerie ner- vousness of not knowing what lurks out there in the water. Between depth charge explosions and mis- siles, the crew is continually fighting an uphill battle (Photos courtesy of the World Wide Web) against an enemy with the upper hand. The overall war themes leave many viewers com- paring this film to Sav- ing Private Ryan, a mo- tion picture that thrived on character development. This film, on the contrary, Is more dependent on the plot instead of fo- cusing on the charac- ters. Truly, the film provides viewers edge-of-your-seat suspense, not to mention intensity from start to finish. Though surely not every aspect of U-S71 is ac- curate in accordance to actual battles during WWII, it does give an accurate account of the historical significance of war-times as well as a peek into the navy as opposed to the typical ground-soldier story. John Mastow, director and co-writer, incorporates historical submarine films such as Crimson Tide and Hunt for Red October into this film and then reinvents those scenes to suit his personal style. However the film works because it is both exciting and interest- ing. What sets this film apart from others is its use of cinematography as well as the talented cast. Perhaps one of the greatest attributes to the actors is the emo- tion that seems to come so natural to their situation. They yell, scream, sweat and breathe appropriately and believably in each terrifying scene. Although movie prices are utterly ridiculous, this is one film that is worth seeing for its entertainment value. Despite the running time of 118 minutes, each minute is full of a passion inspired by an evident commitment by the cast and crew as well as a patri- otic tribute to soldiers everywhere.

(AP)�Every so often, at no par- ticular hour and with no apparent warning, the houses on Marie Way start to rumble. Windows shake. Dishes and glasses vibrate so loudly it sounds like a cross between a helicopter and a jackhammer. Pictures sometimes fall from the walls, and residents on this suburban street about IS miles south of Boston tumble from their beds. The episodes began two years ago-and have re- peated every month or two, but sometimes more of- ten. And nobody knows why. Residents have no shortage of theories about what causes the episodes, which last anywhere from a few seconds to five minutes or more. Some blame earth- quakes, traffic or the methane-burning trash facility across the road. Andrew Curtis, 10, who lives on the street, joked that aliens might be responsible. So far, it's as good a guess as any. Most residents agree that none of the explanations fit, considering the timing and nature of the episodes and the small area where they take place. "I haven't the foggiest idea said resident Tony Panarelli, who slept for months with a video recorder at his side to capture the vibrations on tape. James Curtis, Andrew's father, said he and his fam- ily moved into the neighborhood just a couple months before the trembling started. "It was kind of a surprise one night to get woken up-the car alarms were going off Curtis recalled. "To me, it's sounds like a helicopter about to land on the roof. Everything really shakes, and you look up in the sky, and there's nothing there. "It's been a nuisance, and I'd like the nuisance to stop John Ebel, a Boston College seismologist, was brought in by the town to solve the problem after a town meeting in January. Sd'far, he's got a few leads, but no solid answers. Ebel distributed surveys around the neighborhood and set up instruments to measure the vibrations and waited until the phenomenon came back. When it fi- nally returned in March, Ebel had the data he needed to get started. First, the numbers showed the vibrations were monochromatic, or of a single frequency, suggesting a machine could be responsible. "There's no natural source that I know of, either earthquakes or rock movements of any sort that would be so monochromatic Ebel said. "Earthquakes are rich in many frequencies. When we rule out natural sources Double Coupons B Up to and including food k Drug mtkuti See store for details. like that, then a machine would be the next guess Ebel confirmed the nature of the vibrations when he saw Panarelli's tape. Looking closely, Ebel saw that while glasses were shaking in Panarelli's house, a chandelier was not sway- ing in relation to its base. Because different objects vi- brate at different frequencies, that again suggested there was only one frequency of vibration. The initial data also helped Ebel pin down the source as somewhere near Marie Way and its surround- ing streets. He can't confirm it any closer until he sets up multiple seismographs, and that process has been held up due to equipment problems. Ebel also wants to digitize Ihe sound on Panarelli's tape to get further information. "Right now, I just don't have a good guess he said. "The level of the vibrations seems pretty strong, so we're talking about something that could put a fair amount of energy into the ground itself Once, working in Germany's Black Forest, Ebel said he had encountered a similar problem and discovered the vibrations were caused by sawmills. But he conceded the brevity and unusual timing of the vibrations in Randolph-they often strike very early in the morning�clouds the picture. Companies that operate in the surrounding area have all said they don't operate machines capable of producing such an effect. The best guess-and it's still just that�is that it's some kind of powerful machine very close to the ground and in a house on Marie Way or a nearby street. But Ebel says his job is to provide whatever help science cah and not to knock on doors. "At that point, you're kind of in to the realm of human behavior he said. "Any of the residents is as much an expert as I am at speculating on those mat- ters ; Ebel said the research offers a welcome challenge and a change of pace from teaching. "Here's a case where seismology is trying to help out the average citizen he said. "They have something they don't understand. And the science can help ad- dress the question Of course, science hasn't found the answer. But that, Ebel says, makes the problem a good example of the scientific process. "It's a microcosm he said. "It really represents the way science works. We don't know what the answer s and we don't know when we'll get the answer, but we're pretty sure if we keep studying it we should be able to figure this out D0KING FOR A MMER JOB?

Many Indians players also thought Martinez was deliberately throwing way inside at Einar Oiaz, who doubled twice off him in the seventh inning. They were even more upset by his refusal to join the bench-clearing fight when Cleveland pitcher Charles Nagy hit Jose Offerman in the eighth inning. Moments after being taunted by Indians reliever Scott Kamieniecki for not coming out to fight, Martinez hit Alomar in the right buttock with a pitch. The two teams again met in the infield to brawl, but Martinez was the only one ejected. He was booed by fans as he walked to the Boston dugout.

The prestigious meet is referred to as the "Super Bowl of track and field The women's track team arrived in Philadelphia fresh off of their first con- ference title. "We did pretty well coming off of (the CAA Championships) said Head track Coach Matt Munson. "It was tough to get motivated, but Penn is a very good motivator The Pirates got good performances out of thrower Crystal Frye and fresh- man high jumper Colleen McGinn. Frye overcame the cold weather on Thursday to place third in the shot put. "It was one of those days when you compete hard but your performance doesn't match the effort Munson said. McGinn's third-place finish in the high jump came on her highest jump of the season. McGinn cleared 5'7 a personal best by half an inch. "She's been jumping 5'6 12" all year long Munson said. "So her com- ing out and jumping 57" was good for her confidence. So we're glad she did that The Lady Pirates also got strong performances from hurdler Ayana Coleman, who placed 13th overall in the 400-meter hurdles. Teammate Kiona Kirkpatrick placed 24th overall. In the 4xl00-meter relay, the team of Nicky Goins, Demicko Picott, Carmen Weldon and Rasheca Barrow placed 24th out of 81 teams. In the ECAC sec- tion of the meet, the 4x400-meter re- lay squad placed fourth overall. The 4x800-meter relay squad placed 18th in a field of 33. Meanwhile, the distance medley squad placed 13th. Toni Kilgore placed 12th in the triple jump in Saturday's competition. On the men's side, the 4x40O-meter relay squad entered the meet looking to qualify for the prestigious Champi- onship of America race. The Pirates' qualifying time of 3:09.27 was the 12th fastest of the day. However, the team did not qualify for the championship final. Instead they would race in the IC4A section. They placed fifth overall with a time of 3:07.02. Currently the team is ranked eighth in the country and needs to get some low time to qualify for the NCAA Championships later this month. "We didn't get the time said Head men's track Coach Bill Carson. "We're not very good at running in front of everybody. We're not good frontrunners. We tend not to push it The Pirates did get strong showings from the 4x 100-meter relay squad of Darren Tuitt, James Alexander, Frankie Green and Anthony Sherrard placing fifth in the IC4A section with a time of 41.45. In the 400-meter hurdles, Lynn Stewart placed sixth with a time of 51.61. Stewart's time was a career best as well as a school record.

The Pirates won the first two and lost Sunday's finale. The Pirates improved their record to 37-15 (11-7 in the CAA). On Friday, the Pirates beat the Pa- triots 8-3. The team was led by sophomore Chad Tracy who launched a three-run homer in the top of the first. The Pirates jumped to a 4-0 lead in the first inning. The Pirates added a run in the fourth and four and more runs in the sixth en route to a 9-6 victory. "Everyone has really started feeling like the team is playing bet- ter and we are excited about that said outfielder, James Molinari. "Last week we were able to come away with four wins in five games after struggling for a couple of weeks and that is a posi- tive. We have been playing bet- ter as a team and been playing much better offensively, which we need to do to continue to win , On Saturday, the Pirates won their fourth straight game by de- feating the Patriots 8-3. Once again, Tracy provided the Pirates with some scoring punch by hit- ting the first of two two-run hom- ers in the top of the sixth. Tracy hit another in the ninth to com- plete the Pirates' rout of the GMU. One aspect of the game that the Pirates focused on was steal- ing bases. "We talked about it earlier in the year, that we were not a great base-stealing team said Assistant Coach Kevin McMullan. "We de- cided that we needed to put guys in motion to help advance runners. We have done that more lately and it has shown in our putting more runs on the board. But you have to give the credit to the players, as they are the ones out there doing the things that need to be done to win On Sunday, the Pirates fell to GMU 11-7. GMU put up six runs in the fourth inning to bolt to an early lead and put the game away. Molinari hit a solo home run in the fifth to help bring the Pirates to six runs. However, the Patriots would prove too much as they would hold on to secure the win. "Anytime you can go on the road and get two wins, it is a pretty good weekend said second baseman Nick Schnabel. "Of course we have liked to get the sweep, but that is in the past and we have to keep it there. Now we have to look forward to Tuesday at Elon and keep on work- ing toward our goals This writer can be contacted at sports@tec.ecu.edu. ECU'S Eric Bakich steps in against VCU earlier this season, (file photo) OPINION COLUMN What it Stephen Schramm SPORTS EDITOR Coming into this year, Pirate fans had good reason to be excited including a football schedule full of tough op- ponents and a slew of intriguing home games, a new men's basketball coach and men's and women's teams that were picked to place near the top of the conference. They had good reason to be excited, but they did not know how right they would be. Most of what made this past year special came from a football team that united a community and provided hap- piness in a time where there was little. The season that began in Charlotte with a promising win over West Virginia at first looked like it may turn out to be a pleasant story. Soon it would take on a larger role. When the floods brought by Hurricane Floyd decimated much of Greenville, the team became a source of pride for the school and the community when they notched wins over South Carolina and Miami. It is the Miami game that may be the greatest moment of the year. Playing in Raleigh's Carter-Finley Stadium, the Pirates came back from a 20-point second half deficit to upset the ninth-ranked Hurricanes. Following the game, hordes of ECU student piled onto the turf celebrating the win. This put the Pirate football program into the national spotlight and made the poll- sters take notice. More importantly, if only for a short time, it took the minds of the ECU community off of the devastation in Greenville and gave them something to be happy about. The team spent most of the rest of the season in the Top 25 as a showdown with arch-rival N.C. State loomed. On November 20, the Wolfpack played ECU in Greenville for the first time. The Pirates beat State 23-6 in front of a Dowdy-Ficklen record crowd of over 50,000. The win gave the Pirates a berth to the inaugural Mobile Alabama Bowl. In the bowl game, ECU fell to Texas Christian. The team finished with a record of 9-3. However, their season would be measured by something more important than wins and losses. In October, ECU announced that they would join Conference USA in two years. The move would improve the Pirates' standing in many sports, most notably bas- ketball. In December it was announced that the CAA would not welcome ECU back for the 2000-2001 season. When basketball season rolled around, ECU's men's team began play with a new coach, Bill Herrion They were also picked-by many to place first or second in what would prove to be their final season in the CAA The team suffered through injuries and blown leads to make it a tough experience for many Pirate fans The team finished near the bottom of the conference The situ- ation got worse in April when many players came for- ward stating that some of Herrion's comments in prac- tices incited a brawl between two players before the CAA Tournament. Despite the basketball program's setbacks the 1999 2000 season reminded us why we love college sports. The success experienced a football team helped a com- munity heal following a disaster.

(AP)-lf there's one thing Todd Fletcher learned in his years working for trainer D. Wayne Lukas, it is that there's strength in numbers. This may be Pletcher's first trip to the Kentucky Derby since he set out on his own five years ago, but the Lukas protege boasts a Lukas-like contingent for Saturday's race at Churchill Downs. In fact, Pletcher has four entries to Lukas' three in what is expected to be a full 20-horse field for the 1 1-4-mile Derby. "Some people might say, Oh, you know this guy's here with four horses. He's trying to make a big splash or whatever the 32-year-old Pletcher said Sunday in front of Barn 42. "We're here because all four horses deserve a chance to be here Not only will this be the first Derby for the New York-based trainer, but with four 3-year-olds, Pletcher also makes history: No other rookie Derby trainer has saddled as many starters. Pletcher's foursome is no pushover, either. He trains Blue Grass run- ner-up More Than Ready for James Scatuorchio; Arkansas Derby win- ner Graeme Hall for Eugene and Laura Melnyk; and undefeated Trippi and Impeachment, third in the Arkansas Derby, for Cot Campbell's Dogwood Stable. "I'm pleased and excited about it Pletcher said. "But it's really hard to get too caught up in it because we're here with a job to do and we have four horses to do it with Spoken like a true Lukas disciple-business, after all, is business. Lukas, meanwhile, will send out Blue Grass winner High Yield, Ex- change Rate and Commendable as he tries for his 13th win in a Triple Crown race. Due to common ownership, two of Pletcher's horses-Trippi and Im- peachment-will be coupled in the betting with two of Lukas' horses- High Yield and Commendable. The formidable quartet could end as the betting favorite over Fusaichi Pegasus. Lukas, looking for his fifth Derby win, has a 20-year streak of sad- dling at least one Derby starter. The Hall of Earner has started a record 35 horses in the Derby, and on five occasions, he sent out three or more starters, including five in '96. Pletcher started working for Lukas in 1989 after learning the "train- ing fundamentals" from his father, Jake, who worked primarily on the Midwest racing circuit. In 1996, he came away from his Lukas experi- ence with a much better understanding of what it takes to run a highly successful stable. Under Pletcher's watch, Thunder Gulch won the '95 Florida Derby and then won the Derby and Belmont Stakes forLukas. On his own, Pletcher's best campaigner until this year was Jersey Girl, who won seven in a row including the Acorn, Mother Goose and The Test in 1998. "What Wayne's organization does is it operates on a couple of fronts so everything has to be methodical and organized said Pletcher, who has a degree in animal science from Arizona. "And there's a lot of at- tention to details. If you were working for someone with 20 horses, maybe you wouldn't get all that Pletcher seems to have the hang of it now. He has 80 horses in training in Kentucky and New York. "He's turned into a terrific horseman with a great mind and a great flair for detail Campbell said. Other Lukas graduates include trainers Mark Hennig and Dallas Stewart. Asked about Pletcher preparing for his first Derby, Lukas said: "1 wish all of them had horses (here), and someday they will. And he (Pletcher) has four More Than Ready, to be ridden by John Velasquez, looks to be Pletcher's best bet. In the 1 1-8-mile Blue Grass, he battled High Yield in the stretch before losing by a head. He has six wins, two seconds and a third in 10 career starts, but has yet to win going around two turns. "He established himself early on as a very good horse Pletcher said of his colt who won his first five starts. "We knew we had a classics type horse then. He was second in (he Louisiana Derby his first time around two turns, and ran better in the Blue Grass. He's moving in the right direction Lewis' assault charges are inadmissible Atlanta(AP)-Three previous assault charges against Baltimore Ravens star Ray Lewis cannot be admitted as evidence in his murder trial, a judge ruled Monday. The assault charges, all of them dropped, were filed by three women. Judge Alice Bonner said the charges were not similar enough to those Lewis now faces. Prosecutors argued the assault charges showed Lewis had a history of violence and rebutted the defense's claim that Lewis acted as peacemaker during the street fight after the Super Bowl in Atlanta. Ed Garland, Lewis' defense lawyer, noted the dropped charges carry "a danger of unfair prejudice and confusion The defense on Monday also asked the judge to suppress evidence collected at Lewis' home in Baltimore. Defense lawyer Don Samuel said police did not have sufficient rea- son to look for evidence of a crime there and said the search warrant was too broad. Prosecutors said police searched Lewis' home because most of his things had been removed from his Atlanta hotel room. They also sus- pected co-defendant Reginald Oakley might have returned to Lewis' home. The judge did not immediately rul� on that matter. The court planned to hear further motions Monday. Lewis and two co-defendants are expected to stand trial May IS on charges they murdered Jacinth Baker, 21, and Richard Lollar, 24, after a party following the Super Bowl. Lewis' lawyers might find it difficult to continue their strategy por- traying the linebacker as a devoted family man who hardly knew two others charged in the deaths. A newspaper reported Sunday that Lewis appeared with a co-defen- dant in a sexually explicit mail-order video. The video shows Lewis and Joseph Sweeting watching party guests perform sex acts for-money. Defense attorneys have said Lewis hardly knew Sweeting and the other co-defendant, Reginald Oakley. The videotape, "Luke's Freak Show: Cancun 1999 was produced at a party thrown in the Mexican resort town by rap musician Luther Campbell. In it, Lewis enters with Sweeting and dances shirtless between two scantily dressed and gyrating women. Campbell, leader of the rap group 2 Live Crew, told "The Atlanta Jour- nal-Constitution" he is friends with Lewis and Sweeting, a fledgling mu- sic producer and strip club promoter from Miami. The three met when Lewis was playing with the University of Miami. Campbell, who wears Lewis' No. 52 Ravens jersey while promoting videos and CDs on his Web site, called Sweeting a "good friend" of Lewis. Oakley, the other co-defendant, does not appear in the video, which has not been mentioned in the case. Sweeting has a long criminal history, including convictions for grand theft and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. The charges stem from the mid-1980s. "Joe had some problems but that's all long ago his brother Anthony said. "Some of that is IS years ago, half his life Oakley also has a significant criminal past, with about 25 criminal counts against him between 1985 and 1992. Charges include assault, em- bezzlement, possession of a stolen vehicle, and assault on a police officer. Lennox Lewis displays heart in KO victory NEW YORK (AP)-Lennox Lewis gave an impressive answer to a ques- tion he thought should never have been asked. The 34-year-old British champion retained the WBC and 1BF heavy- weight titles with a second-round knockout of Michael Grant, displaying his punching power and looking nothing like the fighter who had split two bouts with Evander Holyfield. "This was an opportunity for me to show my aggressive side Lewis said Saturday night. "There's always been a question about my heart. 1 don't know where they got that one. Lennox Lewis has a great heart Exposing Grant as a fighter who wasn't ready for the big time may have also done wonders for Lewis' image. "I don't think I should be judged by the two fights with Evander Holyfield Lewis (36-1-1) said. "I think this proves I've got awesome power and 1 can take you out with one punch Grant (30-1-1) felt a lot more than one punch. The challenger was knocked down three times in the first round and then knocked out in the second as Lewis showed Grant attacking was not a solid strategy. "I was surprised his corner sent him out for the second round Lewis said. "1 thought Michael Grant's style was the perfect style for me to show- case my talent The 6-foot-7, 250-pound Grant admitted to "stupidity on my part" for trying to take the fight to Lewis, but it was clear that a fighter who only began boxing six years ago was no match for the heavyweight champion. "Lennox is a champion for a rea- son Grant said. Lewis still holds the WBC and IBF version of the titles-a federal judge ordered the WBA to strip him for not fighting the top contender- but it may be more significant that he showed he could fight like a big heavyweight champion. That didn't happen in two cau- tious fights with Holyfield. "I'm glad he didn't go another 12-rounder said Emanuel Steward, Lewis' trainer. "Lennox actually enjoys exciting fights A little more than halfway through the first round at Madison Square Garden, Lewis threw a punch to the body followed by a right to the head that put Grant down for the first time. By the time the bell sounded to end the first round, Grant had been down two more times and the only question was whether he would come out for the second round. He did, and managed to last until late in the round, when a Lewis uppercut floored Grant, and he was finally counted out at 2:53 of the second round. Lewis, who earned some10 million, emerged from the fight atop the heavyweight ranks, no matter what happens with the WBA title. Holyfield is expected to fight John Ruiz for the WBA title in June. "Whoever picks it up is just a paper champion Lewis said. "I'm still the undisputed champion Lewis is scheduled to fight Francois Botha, last seen getting cold-cocked by Mike Tyson, on July 15 in London. Then there's a possible date with contender David Tua in September. But the heavyweight division doesn't have a lot of fighters who have both the name recognition and the skills to challenge Lewis. That could pose problems for future earnings potential, as Saturday's fight with Grant was hardly a blockbuster on pay-per-view. ?KESWICK 1510 Bridle Circle Greenville, nc 27834 APARTMENTS FREEDOM Are you a student who would like the Freedom of renting an apartment without the worry of your roommate paying their portion of the rent ????: if the aimer is yes then KESWICK APARTMENTS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU We offer, liiilvniHiI leases JJ 9 month lease terns Fully cauiffed Fitness center lighted tennis courts Swimming pool Saml Volleyball court WasherDryer hookups For more information call 355-2198 to experience Trie Keswick style - Make it yours 150 Bridle Circle Greenville, .NC 27834 ??
