STUDENTS WASHINGTON (AP)-Do the words "Give me liberty or give me death" sound only vaguely familiar? Do you think Thomas Jefferson was the "Father of the Constitu- tion"? If so, you're not alone. Nearly 80 percent of seniors at 55 top col- leges and universities including Harvard and Princeton received a D or F on a 34-ques- tion, high-school level American history test that contained historical references like those. More than a third of the students didn't know the Constitution established the divi- sion of power in American government, ac- cording to the Center for Survey Research and Analysis at the University of Connecti- cut, which administered the test as part of a study to measure the teaching of American history. Students were much more knowledgeable about popular culture. For example, 99 per- cent of the seniors could identify profane adolescents Beavis and Butthead as "televi- sion cartoon characters But only 23 per- cent identified James Madison as the princi- pal framer of the Constitution. Sen. Joseph Lieberman, D-Conn la- mented the findings. Quoting Jefferson, he said that "if a nation expects to be ignorant and free it expects what never was and never will be "This nation seems well on its way to test- ing this proposition Lieberman said. The study, sponsored by the American Council of Trustees and Alumni, found none of the 55 schools require American history for graduation. And only 78 percent of the schools require students to take any history classes, according to Jerry Martin, one of the report's authors. "These students are allowed to graduate as if they didn't know the past existed Martin said. see HISTORY, page 2 A recent study conducted by the American Council of Trustees and Alumni found many of the U.Ss top college students rank poorly when tested on U.S. history, (photo by Shane Cranford) loi TEST YOUR KNOWLEDGE The following are sample US. history questions similar to those missed by some of the country's top college students 1.

State police chief retires early CRIME Later this week, Lieberman, Sen. Slade Gorton, R-Wash and Reps. Thomas Petri, R-Wis and George Miller, D-Calif plan to introduce a resolution calling on boards of trustees, college admin- istrators and state officials to strengthen American history re- quirements in all levels of the educational system. Martin's group has been work- ing to try to get colleges and uni- versities to stress American his- tory, but does not advocate a par- ticular curriculum. Within the last two years, the State University of New York sys- tem agreed to add American his- tory to its core curriculum. The problem also must be ad- dressed in elementary schools, said James C. Rees, who oversees former President George Washington's estate in Mount Vernon, Va. "George Washington has been virtually eliminated from elementary school text- books Rees said. The history test was given by telephone to 556 college seniors chosen at random. The questions were drawn from a basic high school curriculum. RALEIGH (AP)�North Caro- lina State University's police chief retired sooner than expected and has been stripped of his duties in the fallout of allegations involv- ing questionable purchases by his department. Ralph Lex Harper, 61, gave the university a letter of resignation that took effect June 30. He had intended to retire from the uni- versity Sept. 1 after nearly 11 years as head of NCSU's public safety agency. NCSU Chancellor Marye Anne Fox said that Harper had been "relieved of his duties" but is be- ing allowed to retire. Harper's supervisor, Jeff Mann, associate vice chancellor for busi- ness, is being reassigned to a new position determined Monday, Fox said. Mann had been Harper's boss throughout his ten- ure. Since July 1994, Harper has used $2.2 million in unspent sal- ary and benefit money to help buy hundreds of thousands of dollars in electronics gear such as TVs and stereos, vehicles, fur- nishings and leather goods. Some of those items have been confis- Trying to get your foot in the door') If you are looking to build your resume, the East Carolin- ian is now hiring responsible students for part-time work as Advertising Representatives.

"The News & Observer" of Ra- leigh reported the questionable purchases Sunday, June 24 prompting inquiries and state probes. "There have been rather seri- ous allegations that we are wait- ing for an opinion from such as the state auditor and the State Bureau of Investigation, and we felt it prudent to remove both the person against whom the allega- tions are lodged and his imme- diate supervisor from the direct operation of the department while those investigations con- tinue Fox said. Harper has been away from his post for the past month and is recuperating from back surgery. He could not be reached for com- ment at the time of this story. Mann said he had no com- ment about his transfer. He has been an associate vice chancel- lor since 1989 and had hired Harper later that year. Fox named Assistant Director Terry Wright to lead the depart- ment until a new chief is hired. The university plans a national search this summer. The university also has re- moved 34 items of electronic gear, ranging from TVs to laptops to a voice-changing telephone, that are not needed by the de- partment. They are being dis- persed to other departments. Harper's spending has caused state legislators to demand a bet- ter accounting of the lapsed sal- ary and benefit money accrued by universities. Fox said she wants senior administrators to "personally ensure that lapsed salary (money) support core pro- grams within their areas She also wants quarterly reports of the expenditures. An internal audit in 1997 alerted Mann to questionable spending in the public safety de- partment as well as more than $1 million in lapsed salary and ben- efit money that Harper had spent on non-personnel items.

Bowen also demanded that stu- dents who participate in what many Aggies consider their most revered tradition undergo a change of culture and dem- onstrate a willingness to accept his terms for the revival. When and if bonfire returns, Bowen said, it will revert to a simpler, smaller "teepee" design that will resemble the stacks of logs built in the 1950s. "I think the decision today is driven as much by having ob- served the horror that visited our campus as much as any- thing else Bowen said of the Nov. 18 collapse that killed 12 students and injured 27. Reaction to Bowen's announce- ment ranged from relief and support to disbelief and criti- cism. "It does not take two years to decide how to build a teepee-style bonfire. I'm sorry, but it doesn't Joe Barton U.S. Representative (R) Many former students said they are happy that the bonfire was not eliminated. But others are disappointed the bonfire will be canceled for two years. Some say the university can solve safety problems and still have a bonfire this fall. U.S. Rep. oe Barton, an A&M graduate and a professional en- gineer who once represented the College Station area, praised Bowen's announce- ment of added safety proce- dures, but said he strongly dis- agrees with halting the bonfire until 2002. Barton, an Ennis, Texas, Repub- lican, said there is no safety jus- tification to stop the bonfire for two years because the planned teepee design for the logs "eliminated the largest struc- tural problem "It does not take two years to decide how to build a teepee- style bonfire. I'm sorry, but it doesn't" he said. Barton said that A&M officials told him that Bowen's decision to cancel the bonfire for two years is really a way to halt stu- dent trends with the bonfire that Bowen doesn't like. "He's trying to break the cul- ture of some of the student leadership Barton said. "He wants to break that chain. But there is another way to break it without stopping the bonfire Bowen insists that the new ver- sion will be designed by a li- censed engineer, with only one layer or stack, versus the six that comprised the 1999 bonfire, and students will only be al- lowed to work on the project for two weeks each fall. Perhaps the most jarring change will be the elimination of the so-called cut site, where students chop down logs and then haul them to the campus. Cut sites have been the scene of numerous reported injuries of students through the years. A live band every Saturday night at the new This Saturday, Mark Gray will play 9pm-until.

The genome-the set of instruc- tions that defines an organism- consists of two sets of 23 giant DNA molecules. Each set con- tains a total of 3 billion chemi- cal units. Clinton described the research as "one of the most important, most wondrous maps ever pro- duced by humankind Two rival groups � the Celera Corporation and the Human Genome Project, or HGP, were responsible for the discovery, the result of a two year race to map the genome. "It ranks with Watson and Crick's discovery of DNA said C. Robertson McClung, a Profes- sor of Biology at the College. "It will have a huge impact in the study of disease and health care as well as the understanding of human biology and the biol- ogy of a number of animals he added. The Dartmouth Ethics Insti- tute, coincidentally, has been hosting a two-week long Faculty Summer Institute on teaching the implications of the Human Genome Project that began on June 19. The project is intended to study the ethical, legal and social implications genome mapping is likely to produce and is intended to train teachers from other col- leges and universities interested in developing and teaching multi-disciplinary ethics courses. The Institute has sponsored lectures addressing questions such as "Why should we study genes? "Who should have ac- cess to my genome? "Who owns the genome? and "Should we be changing our genes?" One of the most important ethical worries posed by this dis- covery is genetic discrimination. Although the image of a "Brave New World" in which genetic testing is used in everything from college admission to job inter- views is troublesome, it seems far away and difficult to imagine. Yet, there are a number of more likely issues that may result. Many specifically question the future of insurance coverage. Pri- vacy issues involved in an insur- ance company's right to know an individual's genetic predisposi- tion to disease in order to set rates have many ethicists worried. One of the most contested im- plications of genome mapping is prenatal testing. While doctors already have the ability to test for diseases such as Downs Syn- drome, there are fears that these tests will multiply until qualities such as height and IQ are tested for and, consequently, geneti- cally engineered. Although the technology for this engineering has yet to be developed, questions like this have spawned as much appre- hension as excitement over Monday's recent announcement. Many scientists have also felt a certain chagrin that a commer- cial rival upstaged the Human Genome Project, an altruistic and open venture. 7.

The tragedy lies in how few of us know that. OUR VIEW Question: Did Thomas Jefferson sign the Constitu- tion? Most of you probably said yes, and you are no dif- ferent than most college students in this country. A re- cent study conducted by the University of Connecticut has shown the world just how ignorant 'educated' America is about its past. The truth is, Thomas Jefferson was not even in the country during the signing of the Constitution. Even though this may be a petty fact from a time long ago, before you shrug your shoulders and go back to your sitcoms, think for a minute about what your limited historical knowledge means. It means you've been slighted. Most students think of history as a list of places, dates and people that do boring things to make boring subjects of boring text- books. But given the right teacher, history is one long collection of exciting stories: great battles, heroes and scandals. The tragedy lies in how few of us know that. Instead of placing the blame on lazy, nonchalant students, TEC would like to remind history teachers how much most of us like to learn when the information is interesting, when it doesn't come from a book, and when homework doesn't mean multiple-choice ques- tions taken from the end of the chapter. Perhaps America's youth knows no history because of lazy, non- chalant teachers. JaisalCodhi MY OPINION Gasoline prices: what's up? aw IN MY OPINION Bush shouldn't support death penalty Capital punishment is a very con- troversial topic in America. Some call it a deterrent and others call it slaugh- ter. I'm going to call it what it is- murder in the first. Some people are sentenced to death and then it is later realized that the convicted person was innocent. Do we want to take that chance with people? Shouldn't we have a greater respect for life? Texas inmate Gary Graham was executed two weeks ago by lethal in- jection. Graham had to pay the ulti- mate price because he was convicted of a murder in 1981. There are a few things wrong with his case that drew national attention. First, his convic- tion was primarily based on the testi- mony of one person. One person? Maybe I have been watching shows like "The Practice" for too long, but I thought it took more than one person's testimony to prove one's guilt, let alone send a person to death row. Second, there were two individu- als who later came forward to testify that they knew Graham did not com- mit that murder. This should have hastened an immediate call by the governor to stop the execution but, the campaigning Texas governor George W. Bush expressing no inter- est in delaying Graham's execution. Many observer speculate that his in- activity was motivated by a fear that he would have suffered a severe po- litical blow had he intervened. I think it's a blow to the cause of jus- tice that Graham died. National figures such as Jesse Jack- son went to Texas to plead Graham's case along with other politicians, Democrats and Republicans alike. The governor of Illinois even spoke against the execution of Graham. Re- cently, 13 Illinois inmates sentenced to death were exonerated after new evidence was found. This should be proof enough of a flawed judicial process in dispensing capital punish- ment. Even Attorney General Janet Reno has gone on record to say that she has failed to find any evidence that capital punishment is a viable deterrent. That's not too hard to be- lieve, considering that 70 percent of death sentences are reversed in ap- peals. The death penalty is not working and I don't want a man who can't see this as a state governor to become my president. I can't support a presi- dential candidate who is more con- cerned with his election than with stopping an unjust execution. As you have probably noticed, the price of gasoline has been soaring recently. Businesses have raised prices to keep pace with energy costs, and consumers have decreased their across-the-board spendig. When we inquire into the reasons that prices have soared higher than ever seen in recent memory, we come up empty. The gasoline companies blame Washington for the price hikes, citing damaging legisla- tion and a gas tax, while the government ac- cuses the gasoline industry of price fixing. Both parties blame OPEC but, for instance how can OPEC be blamed for the steep prices in the Midwest while prices are as much as 70 cents per gallon lower in other regions? So, my question is this-what's really going on and why can't the government do anything about it? As we know, OPEC, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, has recently decreased its level of worldwide exports, in- cluding those to the United States. This de- crease in supply, combined with the greater American oil demand during the summer months, has spelled an increase in the price of oil. Oil costs have surged to as high as $35 a barrel, compared with the normal rate of about $20 per barrel. These price woes are worsened by the fact that the White House is now requiring that cleaner gasoline be used in certain areas to combat pollution.While ecological concern is a good idea, no one is sure how much it adds to the price per gallon. Some sources say it adds about three cents, while others have cal- culated a much higher 25 cent increase per gallon. The White House insists that the clean gasoline requirement is not responsible for the tremendous increase in gas prices. Rather, it claims that the oil industry has seized this op- portunity as an excuse to wrongfully inflate prices. Add to that a broken oil pipeline in the Midwest and you get further price increases. Another interesting factor is the gasoline tax. In a time like this, federal and state governments should suspend gasoline taxes in order to give consumers a break. As one economist put it, "Tax is an evil necessity However, I'm sure we could do without this particular "necessity" until the price of gasoline goes down, especially since the government claims to have some bil- lion dollars in surplus this year. So, what is making the prices go up? There really isn't a simple answer. There is the OPEC limiting of supply. Then there is the clean gaso- line requirement in smog infested areas, which the White House insists is necessary. And then there are the accusations that gasoline compa- nies are playing with the prices to pocket more money, which doesn't sound unreasonable since the wholesale price of gasoline has gone down 25 cents a gallon without a correspond- ing decrease in prices at the pump. The FTC is investigating, so we won't find out until their investigation is complete. This means that we will probably never receive a clear, concise answer, since such matters can sometimes stall in administrative quagmire and often require an investigation of the investiga- tion. None of these factors are easing matters at the pump. Hopefully, with OPEC recently agreeing to a slight increase in production and the government heavily pressuring the oil in- dustry to lower prices, American consumers should see some respite in the fall. eastcarolinian �Mp Qfttfi, News Editor EwijF little, Features Editor EatfyJ l.QMa, Editor in Chief Photo Editor I, Sports Editor Head Copy Editor Saving ECU since 1925, The East Carolinian prints 11,000 copies even Tuesday and Thursday duiing the regular academic year and 5,000 on Wednesdays during the summer. -Our Mew' is the opinion ol the Editorial Board and is written by Editorial Board members.

(AP)-People here are getting bullish on a wave of vandalism directed recently at statues of the city's namesake animal. At least four of the 39 buffalo statues that have been placed around the city as part of a nationwide campaign have been vandalized recently, ac- cording to reports. The latest was when a bison was tipped over and one of its horns bro- ken off. Police have arrested a 23- year-old on charges of crimi- nal mischief. The bison are part of a na- tional series of similar animal (and even vegetable) parades. Other parades include cows in West Orange, N.J. and Stam- ford, Conn pigs in Cincinnati and Peoria, III lizards in Or- lando, Fla mermaids in Nor- folk, Va. and 6-foot-high ears of corn in Bloomington, III. It's that time of the year again Hurricane Season Emily Little FEATURES EDITOR In September, the newest storm will linger off the Southeast- ern seaboard. With better than 74mph winds and an 80 degree expanse of water, it will swirl through uninhibited ocean until it comes up on a little stretch of land that bkKks its path. Then the hurricane will attack, dropping in horizontal sheets the massive quantities of rain it picked up on its trek across the Atlantic. And Greenville gets it almost every time. According to Allen Riordan, a meteorology professor at N.C. State, more hurricanes reach land in the Cape Hatteras area than anywhere else on the Atlantic coast. "Most hurricanes begin to form in a westward-drifting regime he said. "The next thing sticking out there is North Carolina The season lasts from June to November, and peaks around Labor Day. That's when the jet stream is right around the coast, and the water stays warm enough to support the storms. Most property damage is caused by storm surge, when the ocean climbs up onto shore and takes out whatever it touches. But anyone who was around for last year's adventure with Floyd can testify to the effective- ness of a good post-hurricane flood. Accord- ing to Riordan, the amount of inland flood- � ing cause by these storms increases ev- ery year. Still, he recommends a flight to higher ground when a hurricane ap- proaches. "We've had storms like' Hugo or An- drew that at the last minute intensi- fied Riordan said. "Your best bet is to pack up your belongings and move in- land Bill Koch, ECU'S director of Environmental Health and Safety, believes that students living on campus might actually be better off staying put. "What we generally come down to is, if the hur- ricane is going to hit, stu- dents are a lot safer in our buildings than they are in their homes he said. That's because ECU housing is held to a stricter building code than most private residences. According to Mark Kimball, with ECU Facili- ties, the only damage Floyd did to any on-campus housing was minor flooding in Tyler hall. But for those students living off campus in apartments, all the masking tape in the world will make no difference if the win- dows aren't strong enough to take the blast. Boarding them up is still the best way to keep the glass intact and protect your be- longings. Most importantly, when the storm hits, Riordan says to be prepared. One of the things that causes the most chaos during a hurricane is the amount of people going back and forth to the store because they failed to make a list of what they needed. "You should have a plan he said. Don't forget things like batteries and extra drinking water in case the power goes out. see HURRICANE, oage 8 Fran 1996 Bertha 1996 Allison 1995 Hugo 1989 Charley 1986 Diana 1984 OO David 1979 Wednesday July 5, 2000 www. tec. ecu.edu FEATURES PICK OF THE WEEK: The Maddening Crowd by Nine Days The East Carolinian 7 features@tec.ecu.edu Emily Little FEATURES EDITOR You can't judge pop-rock on the same scale with other music. For instance, you can't say live 6 sucks because they don't sound like Nine Inch Nails, because you're automati- cally dooming them to a certain fate. So on a scale of one to 10, with Third Eye Blind as a crappy old one and Barenaked ladies at a spectacular 10, Nine Days falls in on the pop- rock scale at about a seven. You know Nine Days. They're the band that plays one of the songs that used to be good before 99X started playing it every hour, on the hour until most of us started slamming our heads into walls to make it go away. You know, the song, "This is the story of a girl, who cried a river and drowned the whole world That song. If you liked "Absolutely (Story of a Girl)" before the overkill, then you would like all of The Maddening Crowd, because most of the songs on the album are done in that same poppy, light tone with a memorable hook and a crisp set of riffs. Although Nine Days has decided to throw its hat in the lower end of the pop-rock spectrum by touring with Third Eye Blind, most of their songs are re- ally interesting and worth a better headlin- ing act. The band has two vocaliststhe one you now is thc Time!

It makes for a nice variation, because although the singers switch off as lead vocalists, they are not so different that you don't recognize the band. The thing that separates Nine Days from the really crummy pop-rock acts, aside from genuine musical ability, is a tendency to put a hopeful sound to an otherwise depressing set of lyrics. "End Up Alone for instance, begs the ques- tion of why we all do end up alone, but it begs it in a sweet, sort of resigned way. If you didn't listen to the words, you might think it was a happy song. And the same goes for most of the tunes on this album. On the other hand, none of these poppy tunes are so cheery you find yourself sickened by the senti- ment. Not like, say, "Semi-Charmed Life which also covers a depressing thought with upbeat, whistle-while-you- work type noises. When Nine Days "doo- doo-doos it sounds more like Ben Folds Five. Nine Days is good stuff. They are a definite seven in the world of pop-rock. Just don't try to compare them to any- thing hardcore.

Kinston Indians offer idyllic minor league experience Stephen Schramm SPORTS EDITOR Top: Kinston takes on Salem in front of a full house in the grandstand. The team plays in front of locals and Pitt County residents that make the trip down Hwy. 11. (photo by Garrett McMillan) . Above: Kinston Native, Reed Owens watches Alex Mense wind up at the Speed Pitch, (photo by Garrett McMillan) New Bern's Al Watson sits at the back of the grandstand, his back to the late afternoon sun. He is unaffected by the uniformed little leaguers that accompany him. Instead, he chooses to focus on the slow, deliberate ac- tions of the Kinston Indians pitcher. "I come out here when I get the chance Watson said. "I come for the atmosphere, the crowd, the people On this early summer Friday evening in Kinston, the crowd at Grainger Stadium is sparse. Empty seats dot the upper half of the grandstand while the bleachers down the third base side are mostly empty. Near the top of the seats along the first base side, Kinston native William Soloman takes in the scene. Soloman has been following the Indians for over a decade. "I've been to Salem, Virginia, I.ynchburg Soloman said. "I'd say Kinston is the best For much of the time Soloman has followed the K-Tribe, they have been the Class A affili- ate of the Cleveland Indians. For the whole time, they have played in Grainger Stadium. The outfield's plywood fences are decorated with ads for local businesses. Beyond the wall in left field is a neighborhood, while the right field wall fronts a tobacco warehouse that rises above the stadium as a reminder of the city's economic roots. Kinston is thirty minutes South of Greenville on NC Hwy. 11. The Indians are the closest professional baseball team to Greenville and every home game sees a num- ber of fans from Pitt County. On this night Jerry Allen of Greenville and his son Ashley watch the game from the pic- nic tables facing right field. "I work two jobs and go to school, so I get down here when I can said Jerry Allen, who works with the Pitt County Sheriff's office and the Pitt Community College Police while tak- ing classes at PCC. "I'm a baseball fan, I've been a baseball fan forever While the games draw Greenville residents, it takes more to draw the ECU crowd. "Every once in a while, you'll see a couple said Indians employee Reed Owens, a recent Kinston high school graduate who will attend N.C. State University in the fall. "A lot of them come down on Thursday nights when we have 'Thirsty Thursdays a lot of the older students come down Even in baseball, we follow the drink spe- cials. "It seems to be prominent at any college Owens said, "Not just ECU On this night, Owens was manning the Speed Pitch, which features a rubber mat against which customers hurl a baseball. The speed of their pitch is determined electroni- cally and shown on a lighted screen. "Everybody comes in and they think they can throw really fast Owens said. "They think they can throw 50 or 60 and they throw 35,40 at most. I laugh all night long While many of the older fans stick to watch- ing the game or occasionally embarrassing themselves on the Speed Pitch, for the young fans, the main form of entertainment at the game is trying to catch that elusive foul ball. Any ball that leaves the field will set off a belt-high stampede of kids, each toting a glove, sprinting for a shot at the souvenir. see YARD, page 10 10 The East Carolinian sports@tec.ecu.edu SPORTS Wednesday July 5, 2000 www.tec.ecu.edu Stephen Schramm SPORTS EDITOR Halfway mark offers some surprises at top MY OPINION As Major League Baseball's 2000 season nears its halfway point, a glance at the standings will yield a number of surprises. If you claim to have expected Toronto, Chicago and Seattle to lead their respective American League divisions at this point, you're lying. However, Toronto is really not that much of a surprise. At the end of last season the surging Blue Jays mounted a serious chal- lenge to Boston in the AL Wild Card race before eventually los- ing out to the BoSox. The Jays return the nucleus of their prom- isingl999 squad, minus the speedy and powerful left fielder Shawn Green, who was traded to the LA Dodgers for the equally speedy and powerful Raul Mondesi. Consequently, much was ex- pected from the Jays this season, especially from their corps of young stars, who include first baseman Carlos Delgado, short stop Tony Batista and outfielder Shannon Stewart. Thus far, the trio has lived up to the hype. Delgado has a realistic shot at the coveted Triple crown and leads the AL in homers with 27. Mean- while, Batista is also among the . league leaders in home runs with 22. It also helps when your pitch- ing staff features veteran ace David Wells, who has returned to the form that made him one of baseball's best pitchers two yearsago. Wellshas already com- piled a 13-2 record with 94 strikeouts. While the Blue Jays are not a surprise to knowledgeable base- ball fans, The Mariners and White Sox are legitimate shock- ers. The White Sox came into this season with underachieving star Frank Thomas proclaiming "Don't question my desire" on the cover of Sports Illustrated (SI). The corresponding SI pre- season article painted the Chi- THtfASTtSTSailHG DC COMICS OKI AT: Nostalgia Newsstand HI llcUnson Avenue GreenUHe He 27834 252.758.6909 Mark A. Ward Attorney At Law �DWI, Traffic, Felony Defense �NC Bar Certified Specialist in State Criminal Law �24 Hour Message Service 752-7529 cago clubhouse as an environ- ment devoid of team chemistry. Either the story was wrong or manager Jerry Manuel is a ge- nius. The White Sox have the largest division lead in all of baseball, 10 and a half games over the division's consensus preseason pick, the Cleveland Indians. The ChiSox have their sizable lead thanks to resurgent pitching and solid all-around teamwork, bolstered by tight clubhouse camaraderie. The Mariners were all but left for dead after trading superstar Ken Griffey Jr. However, there were some who were quietly- talking about the Mariners as a serious contender in the rela- tively weak and wide-open AL West. Those whispers have turned into talk of a pennant run in Seattle. However, the AL West also features the Oakland A's, who also contended for the AL Wild Card in '99 and look to do so again this year, unless they are able to overtake Seattle and win the division outright. In the National League, every- thing has stayed true to form. Atlanta has a slim lead over the Mets in the Last. Arizona has an equally tenuous grasp on first in the West, while St. Louis is eight and a half games ahead of Cin- cinnati. If that last one surprised you, it should. For the past two seasons, Mark McGwire's home run heroics have hidden the fact that the Cardinals have played some very bad baseball. They have finished at or near the bottom of their di- vision in each of the past two sea- sons. This season was supposed to be the year that the Reds would prove that small-market teams can compete, as they, and their new star, Griffey, were going to win the NL Central and challenge the Braves and Mets for National League supremacy. That has not happened. The Cards have finally gotten strong pitching to match their tradition- ally explosive offense, bolting them past the Reds and turning the competitive NL Central race into a laugher. By the way, has anyone seen the Houston Astros? Houston, one of the perennial powers in the NL, opened the season by christening their new park, Knron field (affectionately known as "ten-run field") and have not been heard from since. Thanks to some poor pitching and little league park dimen- sions, the Astros have made their new field as inviting to home run hitters as baseball's most notori- ous hitter's park, Coors field. Each year there are surprises. Often, knowledgeable fans and baseball insiders are able to an- ticipate surprises before they oc- cur, This year, however, they're just as shocked as you.

Ttbuhad Ron Rogers, 13, does not get caught up in the foul-ball frenzy. Instead, he sits in the bleach- ers just past third base with his friend, gloveless. "It doesn't really mean that much to me said Rogers, a Greenville native. It does mean something to young James O'Reilly and his little brother Kevin. "I've caught one, but my brother, he's always got them said James. Along with their father, Tom, the O'Reilly's make the trip from their home in Goldsboro to Kinston about 20 times a year to catch the Indians. Tonight they sit in the bleachers along the left field line. James holds his glove while Kevin sips a drink. "I like it Tom said. "It's not as congested as going to a big sta- dium, you're not fighting the crowds. Here you've just got lo- cal community people and that's what makes it nice For O'Reilly, Class A baseball is more appealing than the majors. "They're the players still en- thusiastic about playing base- ball Tom says. "They're not re- ally in it for the money, like you see a lot of major league players in it. They're fresh, they want to learn and they play real hard While the players are far away from the major leagues, it doesn't seem to matter much to the fans in Kinston. Neither does the fact that, on this night, the K-Tribe would fall to Salem by a score of 7-0, and retain their spot in the Carolina League stand- ings, dead last.
