Third party exclusion angers activists Stephen Losey GUEST WRITER Two ECU students were among more than 500 activists who pro- tested the exclusion of third party candidates from the presidential debates in Winston-Salem last Wednesday. Students Whit Rob- erson and Bert Rochelle marched with the protest- ers to the campus edge of Wake Forest University as presidential candidates Al Gore and George W. Hush debated in Wait Chapel. The protesters were met by about 75 police officers in full riot gear, including shields, gas masks and helmets. The police lined up in front of a gated entrance to Wake Forest. The protest was orderly and there were no arrests or property damage during the march. Roberson has also pro- tested April's World Trade Organization meeting in Washington, D.C. and the Republican National Con- vention in Philadelphia. Roberson has helped orga- Student activists held a protest outside the gates of Wake Forest Uniersity in Winston-Salem, N.C. last Wednesday. The protesters voiced their opposition to the exclusion of third party representation at this year's presidential debates, (photo from indymedia.com) nize rallies against alleged police brutality in Green- ville, N.C. "Tonight's goal is to raise awareness; to display- opposition to corporate two-party control Rob- erson said. Winston-Salem was Rochelle's first large-scale protest. "It's my civic duty said Rochelle when asked why he attended the pro- test. The march was orga- nized by the South Caro- lina Direct Action Net- work. "Without open debate there is no democracy said Direct Action Network representative Cathie Berrey about the purpose of the protest. "I think we already have changed people's minds Berrey said. "We've shown them they can have their voices heard, even in a closed debate Most protesters carried signs supporting Green Party candidate Ralph Nader. Others advocated the Communist, Reform, Libertarian and Natural law parties. On Oct. 3, Nader attempted to enter the audience of the Boston presidential debate. His ticket was confiscated and he was turned away at the door. "1 don't think that it should u�t be open to Nader Berrey said. "It should be open to all eligi- ble candidates. If it's open to Republicans or Demo- crats, why not Greens or Libertarians or Commu- nists?" the marchers gathered at nearby Polo Park and listened to speakers. The rally included a show sati- rizing Bush and Gore with 20-foot tall puppets. One puppet showed a politi- cian with two heads-one Bush and one Gore. Though police told the organizers marchers would be arrested if they stepped in the street, many did so anyway. The march took up two of three lanes. Police drove by to keep marchers from stepping in the third lane, but did not arrest anyone. Marchers shouted slo- gans such as "Whose streets? Our streets and "This is what democracy looks like A house with Bush's name spelled out in Christmas lights was booed as marchers passed.

Vote online at www.theeastcarolinian.com Would you take part in the Peer Mentor Program? 50 Yes 50 No Nancy Kuck ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR Thomas Younce, assistant chief of FCU police department (ECUPD) left the force yesterday, Oct. 16. Younce, who has been a part of the F.CU community for the past five years, has served the university through events ranging from minimal campus crimes to national events such as Hurricane Floyd. TEC recently sat down with Younce to find out more about his decision to leave and where he plans to go from here. TEC: How long have you been at ECU? Younce: I am in my fifth year now, so about four-and-a-half years. TEC: Are you retiring? Younce: No, I am just moving on to another position. I hate to leave ECU but this is just an excellent A farewell reception for ECU Assistant Police Chief, Tom Younce, was held yesterday afternoon in the Ward Sports Medicine Building. Here, Willie Lee, director of University Printing and Graphics wishes Younce great success at his new position as director of Public Safety at NCSU. A replacement for Younce will be chosen later this year (photo by Laura Benedict) opportunity for me professionally to move from an assistant director position to a director position at North Carolina State University (NCSU). TEC: Do you feel you accomplished a lot at ECU? Younce: Yes, I think we accomplished a lot here and a lot has been accomplished of course with Chief Theresa Crocker. A lot of credit goes to what she has been able to do in the years she has been here. It has been a pleasure to work for her, and of course the flood last year was a traumatic event for everybody. Fortunately, the university came through and pulled together a routine between staff and students to do what we could. We were successful yielding a couple of governor's awards in the last couple years. I am proud to have been a part of the ECU's police department. TEC: What would you say was the biggest event that you are going to remember here at ECU? Younce: Well, it has to be the flood. Of course it seemed like once I came here it was Hurricane Floyd, Hurricane Fran and Hurricane Bertha. So the weather has to be a big picture of it. I have been fortunate to be in the faculty and with the criminal justice program. It has been a real pleasure to work with the staff and students and teaching. This is especially working with the athletic programs. I think it is a great athletic program. They got a lot of school spirit. A lot of big things are going to happen in the future and I am just proud to be a part of that. A lot of good things are going to come into the police department in the future. There are some expansion plans in the facility. We are in the process of putting in laptops in all the police cars. Doing some innovating things with the electronics, we got a new communication center that is coming on-line now. TEC: Are you going to miss that? Younce: I am going to miss that. 1 really am. 1 am going to miss the people. There are a lot of good people in the police department and the university level. I am really going to miss everybody. It was a lot of fun. TEC: Are you going to take what you learned here and implement it at NCSU? Younce: Well, yes. We have done a lot of good things here, especially with the liaisons, hitting officers in the residence halls, bike patrols. 1 plan to bring a lot of those ideas to NCSU. I have a lot of experience here and a good teacher, Chief Crocker. Of course it is a larger university, about 10,000 more students and a larger police department and it is right smack dab in the center in Raleigh. I am looking to the challenge of going there, there have been some serious problems with the administration in the police Decked out for the debate Students and supporters gathered in the Coliseum Annex at Wake Forest University for the second presidential debate this year. The event was sponsored by the North Carolina Democratic Party. This enthusiast showed her support for the vice president and other state candidates, (photos by Phillip Gilfus) see Younce page 3 Before the evening ended with a confetti drop (above), Gov Jim Hunt, Tipper Gore and Sen. Jon Edwards joined the vice president in rallying support for the Democratic Party. 2 The East Carolinian www.theeastcarolinian.com Tuesday, October 17, 2000 news@tec.ecu.edu Tuesday, Ocl www.theeasi act if Damage to Property-A staff member reported that a limb had fallen onto a vehicle parked in the lot at 5th and Harding streets.

(TMS Campus)-In sixth grade, when Rebekah Preston told her mom she was depressed, her mother told her to drink a cup of hot tea and read "Calvin and Hobbes Rebekah's favorite comic book. It didn't help. By eighth grade, thoughts of suicide filled Rebekah's head. She made up wills. She held razor blades and X-Acto knives over her wrists. By high school, she ran away from home for days at a time, she started abusing alcohol and her behavior got more erratic and out of control. A relative told Monica Preston, Rebekah's mother, to throw her and her stuff out on the street until she straightened up. A church counselor said the problems stemmed from her relationship with her father. They were wrong. Rebekah Preston, now 21 and an art student at Pikes Peak Com- munity College, suffers from bipolar disorder. She has a chemical imbal- ance in her brain that makes her oscillate between extreme moods of elation and severe depression, like many teens who suffer from mental illness, she went undiagnosed for years. Experts say myths about teen behavior and ignorance about teen mental health have combined to blind society to teen mental illness. Parents, convinced that moodiness, anti-social behavior and thoughts of suicide are par for the course for teen-agers, may overlook signs of serious mental illness. The delay could be deadly. Family relationships with teens grow strained, and teens grow up feeling isolated and alone. Worse, teens, who are more impulsive than adults, may be inclined to end their suffering through suicide. But experts say by becoming more aware of the symptoms associ- ated with mental illness, parents can tell the difference between normal teen angst and bigger prob- lems. And teens soon can be on the road to recover) "A strong parent-child relation- ship increases the likelihood that a kid will access care and feel sup- ported said Katherine Koselka Robredo, a therapist who treats adolescents at the Front Range Institute in Colorado Springs. Until 20 years ago, the psychia- try world believed children didn't have the mental maturity for such "adult" illnesses as depression or bipolar disorder. Minnesota students use wireless technology (TMS Campus)-When two St. Olaf College students found them- selves without high-speed Internet access recently because of a lousy dorm-room assignment, they took matters into their own hands. Lacking all-important wall jacks for plugging their PCs into the campus computer network, Tom Engle and Sam Evans cleverly went the wire-free route.Using off-the- shelf wireless-networking products, they jerry-rigged a cabie-less con- nection to a jack in an adjoining residence hall. Presto! They were hooked into the network alongside their classmates, but with data that reached them through thin air. Their experience is unusual, but becoming less so. Students at a growing number of U.S. col- leges, and even some K-12 schools, use wireless connections that let them tap into local servers and the broader Net just about anywhere, even outdoors, without a jack in sight. Such wireless hook-ups are essentially identical to the make- shift network the two St. Olaf students concocted, but school- approved and deployed on a far greater scale with pleasingly zippy performance. At Minnesota State University in Mankato, for instance, students with properly equipped laptops can sprawl on the grass outside public buildings without disconnecting from school servers. No wires are required because special transmit- ters scattered around campus zap data at high speeds through walls and across lawns. "On a nice day, we don't have to be cooped up" in dorm rooms or PC labs, says Timothy Huebsch, a laptop-packing junior. "We can check our e-mail over by the (big outdoor) fountain or work (on class assignments) in Stompers Food Court. We can eat 'n' surf University of Minnesota stu- dents recently gained no-wire access, too. Several dozen Internet- access kiosks deployed around the school's Twin Cities campuses double as wireless-access hubs that provide high-speed network con- nections to any compatible PCs or Macintosh computers within range.

It has caused ripples in the system in the way that they manage their money and some of the things that were done by the previous administrator, so it will be quite a challenge. TEC: Do you think that the crime rate is higher at NCSU? Younce: I have not gotten the chance to look at that. Of course that is going to be a major focus. The major focus of the campus policing here, NCSU, UNC, is to see that the students have a safe place to learn, to experience and to grow. A very important part of campus policing is to provide that atmosphere. I am sure that the center of Raleigh has that problem for people coming outside the campus into campus and it is a large campus and that creates a challenge for those police officers to serve that community. TEC: What will you remember most from ECU? Younce: Probably the people. Eastern North Carolina has a little different flavor than a lot of places. People are a lot friendlier and I think that is something that I will always remember. This is my first campus policing experience. 1 came in from municipal policing and fed- eral policing. The people here took me under their wings and showed me the ropes, the difference. There is a difference between campus police and municipal police. I have learned a lot about the campus and the academia and how to work in the world of academics. It is different. TEC: Do you have anything else you'd like to add? Younce: I am leaving with a lot of regrets but looking forward to the new challenge and new job. I am looking forward to connecting with the professional association with people here at the university. We are all part of the university system and I look forward to being a part of the system. N.C. community college instructors rank last in pay WILMINGTON(AP)Cape Fear Community College instructor Jason Rogers says teaching isn't about the pay. But he also has a simple answer when asked if he'd like to make more money: "You bet North Carolina community col- lege instructors are the lowest-paid in the Southeast. Rogers, who makes $31,347 a year, said salaries are often a topic of conversation. "Everybody thinks they are underpaid he said. Compared with 15 other states, North Carolina community college instructors are at the bottom of the list, with an average salary of $33,027, according to a report from the Southern Regional Education Board. 10 years ago, North Carolina ranked 11th out of 16 states in the Southeast. lxw salaries have been "a long- standing problem for the system said Eric McKeithan, president at Cape Fear Community College. After 20 years working for the state community college system, McKeithan admits the problem has gotten worse. McKeithan said catching the national average would be difficult because recent growth has exacer- bated the problem. In 1994, Cape Fear had 70 full- time faculty members. Today, it has 179. As new instructors come on board, the college's average salary declines, he said. That's because newer instructors typically have fewer years' experi- ence than those leaving the college, which means their starting salary is lower. But the lower starting pay makes it hard to find qualified instructors. "So we're starting out behind McKeithan said. A comparison of salaries high- lights how tough it is to compete in the labor market. The average salary for a com- puter support specialist is $39,320, and the average for a computer programmer is $54,070. Librarians make an average $36,210, while registered nurses make an average salary of $41,650. The average salary for North Carolina public school teachers, $36,098, is also higher than the average salary for community college instructors of $33,027. While faculty salaries at North Carolina community colleges are the lowest in the Southeast, the average salary at North Carolina's four-year colleges and universities ranks fourth in the region. The good news for instructors is that state officials are taking note of the problem. State community college administrators are calling for a substantial raise next year, and lawmakers admit the salaries need to be increased. During a recent forum at Cape Fear, state Sen.

OUR VIEW The Republican candidate, Gov. George W. Bush and the Democratic candidate, Vice President Al Gore squared off during the past two televised political debates this month. Unfortunately for viewers of the debates, not all of the party representatives are invited to participate. Libertarian candidate Harry Browne, Green Party candidate Ralph Nader, and Reform Party candidate Pat Buchanan are all left standing out in the cold. Why were these candidates not included? Aren't their political views valid to the 2000 presidential election? One would think that after Ross Perot was included in the the 1992 election debates, the question of the participation of an Independent candidate should be answered. Because Perot made such an impact in his inclusion, the now- threatened Democrats and Republicans wish to keep things as they have always been. The election of Independent Jessi "The Body" Ventura as governor of Minnesota should further prove the power of the Independents. By including only two of the candidates in the debate, American citizens are the ones who are losing out. ust because the suits of Washington, D.C. are almost entirely made up of Republicans and Democrats does not mean that they are the only ones with the answers to America's problems. The Independents are most often brushed to the side in media coverage leaving them scrambling for exposure. One of the Independent candidates reportedly answered debate questions online while the first debate was in progress. An equal opportunity to participate in the debates can bring the se candidates' fresh ideas to light. )ust because their parties have not existed as long as the two major parties does not mean they should be ignored. Why should Americans keep'Voting for the Republicans and Democrats if, when elected, they leave citizens feeling betrayed and embarrassed with the most powerful representative of the free world? We at TfC would like to be given the opportunity to hear all of the presidential candidates in the debates in future elections. Everyone who has the opportunity to run for office should be given the right to be heard. MadUa Kmox IN MYOPINION Candidates found little to disagree on in debate COLUMBUS, Ohio (U-WIRL.)-I nearly fell asleep watching the second presidential debate this week. It took a good 20-some min- utes for Tweedledee and Tweedle- dum to finally find an issue that they distinctly disagreed with each other on. Even from that point on there were mostly only subtle differences, but no real deep controversies. For instance, while Al Gore supports mandatory waiting periods for gun purchases, George W. Bush does not. However, both are for better enforcement of laws already on the books and the elimination of gun show loopholes. Both have stated that they are willing to sign limited gun restriction laws. Bush and Gore have remarkable similarities on numerous other issues. Both favor putting more money into the drug war, and under the Clinton administration more people have been put away for non- violent drug crimes than during Bush Srs administration. Neither candidate has dealt head-on with America's alarmingly high prison population. During the debates, when the moderator listed past American military interventions in foreign countries, Bush and Gore agreed significantly more than they dis- agreed. Two years ago, a town meet- ing to discuss bombing of Iraq was set here at Ohio State, where groups of protesters demonstrated against the action. If both presidential candidates advocate a consistent pattern of violent military action. where is the voice of all the Ameri- cans opposed to it? Both candidates also support the death penalty despite its failure as a crime deterrent, opposition from Amnesty International and the United Nations and the risk of innocent lives. More than 85 prisoners have been freed from death row due to revealed accidents and incompetence in our judicial system. Gore warns against the dangers of racial profiling but does not seem to be bothered by the fact that the vast majority of death row inmates could not afford a lawyer and are racial minorities. In the matter of health insur- ance, it is a no-win situation. We see that the number of people without it has increased during the Clinton administration, and also that Texas, combined with California, holds 18 percent of the nation's children without coverage. People will point out that Gore and Bush divide, perhaps most sharply, on the issues of Medical Care, Social Security and welfare. Certainly Gore is more aggressive about putting additional funds into such programs. However, we must acknowledge that Clinton signed a bill that cut welfare and that both he and Gore have records for being centrist Democrats. Both candidates have also engaged in corrupt campaigns, taking advantage of loopholes that violate the spirit of the laws. Both the Clinton and now the Gore campaigns used soft money, even after Gore publicly condemned it. And Bush has received bundled- contributions from corporations. The most insane catch-22 in this year's election is the part of third parties, particularly the front- running Green Party and its candi- date Ralph Nader. The media do not pay attention to third parties, and that leads to the candidates doing poorly in the polls, which leads to the media continuing to not pay attention to them. Another frustrating barrier is that when voters see third-party candidates doing poorly in the polls it reinforces the idea that it is a waste to vote for them, and so those candidates cannot seem to get past a low set threshold. it is rather remarkable, given these roadblocks, that at some point in the campaign Nader had 8 percent in the polls. And that 8 percent does not count all those liberals who would like to vote for Nader but will not because they fear Bush. After carefully watching this campaign for more than a year I personally have grown tired of the urge to vote Gore as the lesser of two evils. If Gore loses because of liberals who voted for Nader instead, then the Democratic Party will be forced to turn back to real liberal values to get those people back. So in that respect it is not blind idealism to vote for Nader if one really wants to. We don't have to vote for the winning person to make a positive difference. LETTER TO THE EDITOR Take action: Vote Dear Editor, Amidst debates, party platforms, ideologies, commercials and open letters, such as the "little" Al Gore propaganda piece published by TEC on Oct. 3, there is one thing we can trust: the right to vote. However, it is pathetic, statistically, that our age group (18-25) will have one of lowest voter turnouts-even though we compromise one of the larger segments of society. It is also sad that MTV feels it has to "Rock the Votepandering down to us the brilliant advice of N'SYNC and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. We should know by now, if we stayed awake in our American History class, that the presidential elections are a chance to give our beliefs action, to exercise a consti- tutional process. And even though we may cast our vote for an obscure third party candidate, that is still reason enough to get off your butt, close your cell phone and vote. Michael Fischer ECU student t$EE lTbibNttKElONGrRTH6CWW7bV(hStU1?w Qaiicllodla IN MYOPINION Welfare of Palestine not United States priority The fighting in Palestine has continued throughout the week with many more dying and even more injured, almost alt on the Palestinian side. It seems as if there has been a considerable amount to talk about the Palestinians to pull back, and some have placed the blame on Arafat. Both presidential candidates have talked about their support for Israel and yet they want to act as an honest broker. So as it stands, to my utter shock, there are some in the media and politics who think that the Palestinians are causing the aggressions and are killing innocent Israeli citizens. Well, let's go over the facts. First, a visit from the Israeli government official to a holly site in Palestine caused some peaceful protesting among the Palestinians; something like what we do in the United States (one example in the Million Mom March for gun control). It was peaceful and to the point until Israeli soldiers started shooting live ammo and unarmed civilians and innocent children. Now if that isn't enough to outrage somebody, I don't know what is. After some 80 plus Palestinians were killed, there was no con- demnation of this act of aggres- sion by the Israelis except by the United Nations; but without any consequences to back that con- demnation, it really doesn't mean anything to anybody. Imagine that an enemy is firing up you with live ammo, is bomb- ing you from above, not just your military sites but also your civilian sites. Would this not be enough for us to declare war and to fight with everything we have? Sure it would, and that is the case with the Palestinians. Now it so happens that you capture a couple of the soldiers who are firing at you while you are unarmed. What would you do to them? That is exactly what the Pales- tinians did when they caught a few Israeli soldiers. The fact is, about 100 or more Palestinians have been killed thus fat in this new set of tragic events. Nobody wants it to happen but it happened and the Palestinians are under fire from ground and air, they are at war and there is no other way to put it. President Bill Clinton was quick to condemn the killing of the Israeli soldiers; I have yet to hear him condemn the killings of the Pales- tinians. Maybe he doesn't think that a 100 Palestinian lives are worth anything; I don't know what other conclusion to draw. Given this, how can the United States claim to be an honest broker? LETTER TO THE EDITOR Napster: big labels steal from bands Editor's Note: "Our View" is the opinion of the TEC Editorial Board and is written by individual Editorial Board members. Dear Editor, Recently (TEC) wrote yet another uninformed opinion about- a subject that (it) has absolutely no understanding about. All issues have more than one side and in today's complicated world, issues often have several sides. The writer seems to be a bit lazy in (his or her) knowledge of the subject. Concerning Napster and your concern that the musicians may "go out of business This is not a musician issue. It is a record label issue. It is the record labels strong arm known as RIM that is reaching out to file these lawsuits against Napster. At issue is not the music or the profits or concern for the musi- cians. What they are concerned about is that their own huge prof- its may be diminished, but more important to the record labels is a concern for their diminished control. You obviously did absolutely no research except for a quick passage from the bible so here's some info. A new band signed to a major label who enjoys moderate success, let us say, they are a one-hit-wonder. They sell 2 million copies of their inane song and we get to here this simple but catchy tune 10 times a day on the local modern rock station. The label sells the albums at around $12 per unit to the record stores. They cost the label about 85 cents per copy including packaging. With a gross take in of about $24 million how much do you think the band will see? A whoping 27 cents per copy sold. That's right, it works out to around a half a million dollars. Wow, the label takes in around 24 million and the artist receives $500,000 of that. Who's stealing from whom here? Napster is participant driven. Millions of young people are saying to the public and the record indus- try that they don't want and don't like the crappy music being force fed to them by labels that have little or no clue as to what good music is. It's about control by the big three labels. About a year and a half ago sev- eral small labels where purchased and dissolved so as to eliminate the opportunities that may give a band the opportunity to receive the lions share of the profits. If they-the Large record Industry-don't repre- sent it, then they don't want you to have it. Along comes the Internet and about 10 million downloaders express their wants and desires by finding a way to get to the music they want and by posting that music and their choices for others to find and listen to as MP3s at the Napster site. It gives independent bands a leg up in an industry that clearly wants to keep them in their place. If bands become known and get that $12 a CD rather than the record industry, would that be so bad? Yes, there are issues about Nap- ster and loss of revenue and there are no clear answers yet, but your simpleton attack on the young man that formed Napster reeks of piousness and a glaring lack of knowledge and information about the issue you write about. At least the young man who dropped out of college used the time on his hands to make a mark in this world and he has stood up for that mark and he has, dare I say, accomplished more before he was 19 than most of us will ever accomplish in our lives. You quoted from the Bible, something about "thou shall not steal What about, "Judge not lest ye be judged Since you've chosen to insult the young man without him being able to respond and defend him- self, which is very small-minded, especially the college dropout com- ments, here's one on his behalf back at ya. Your piousness is only surpassed by your ignorance and laziness in researching the subject at hand. If you are going to speak out as (a newspaper) you owe it to your readers to be fully informed and then to get that information to them. It's difficult for us to take you seriously and to consider your opinions valid unless they are founded, which few if any of yours are.

He rushed in and heard the unmis- takable sounds of passion in one of the stalls. He pounded on the door, threat- ening mayhem and bodily harm, but they continued undeterred. The situation was resolved soon afterward back on the dock outside, in an ugly scene featuring the expected screaming match and fistfight. Alcohol may have been involved. Think you have in-law problems? Gary Farmer, who had met his daughter's new husband at their wed- ding only three days earlier, found that he just didn't like the groom, Mark Erlandson, one little bit. Felt, in fact that the man just wasn't good enough for his daughter. So, while visiting the couple in their mobile home, he came around in back of the groom, pulled his head back by his hair and cut his throat with a kitchen knife. Erlandson survived. Farmer, 53, has been charged with attempted murder, and his attorney has requested a psy- chological evaluation. 0itOUT www.geek-boy.comscg www.badcookie.com Whatever happened to trust?

PiCk Of the Week: Meet the Parents Maura Buck FEATURES EDITOR Meet the Parents is prov- ing to be a huge hit with moviegoers. The cpmedy about a beau, Greg Focker (Ben Stiller), who meets the ultimate father-in-law from hell, played by Robert DeNiro, brought home a record $29.1 million for an October opener. The film broke the record previ- ously held by the Octo- berl998 hit Ante. Parents has a pretty impressive cast of charac- ters, boasting Ben Stiller, Robert DeNiro, Teri Polo and Blythe Danner. Despite the fact that these actors have star power, director Jay Roach brings his unique humor to the big screen for the first time since his Austin Powers success. "I loved his Austin Powers films and I wasn't let down by his efforts in this film, either said sophomore Kevin Scarmack. Mothers-in-law get off easy in Meet the Parents. Instead, a would-be father- in-law serves as the running punch line for the movie. The movie sets up jokes so well that they leave patrons laughing and they leave the theater with smiles plastered on their faces. Don't think an overflowing septic tank is funny enough? Just wait until wedding guests get spattered with the muck-and don't forget those close-ups. "Some parts were minutes of non- stop laughter said Eric Davis, fresh- man. The harder Focker-a male nurse and Jewish kid-tries, the more determined Dad becomes to unmask the young man for the liar and drug user he mistakenly assumes him to be. He even goes so far as to administer a polygraph test to the flustered visitor. "I think that Stiller and DeNiro had a lot of chemistry, they worked well together Davis said. One thing that truly works for the film is the way it sets up scenes. For example, in one early scene Focker tosses a cigarette pack-Dad hates smokers-onto the roof and there's a close-up of it lying on the shingles. Why? So that halfway through the film moviegoers can experience a hilarious scene in which Focker climbs out onto the roof, smokes a cigarette and accidentally starts a major fire on the eve of his future sister-in-law's wedding. Though Stiller is still stuck in his familiar chump mode from There's Some- thing About Mary he is arguably one of the funniest young comedians today. Danner, as DeNiro's wife, and Polo-from TV's "Felicityboth have too little to do, though Danner definitely adds decorative comic relief where she can. Their characters are crucial to the story line despite the fact that they never steal scenes. Regardless, the stars, plot and the very premise of the film are all topics that nearly every couple can relate to. It's a great film to see when craving a comedy.

(TMS)-Parents, take note: For most college students, a four-year degree is a thing of the past. At most of Virginia's 15 public four-year colleges, less than 50 per- cent of freshmen graduate within six years, according to state data. That's still an Improvement from the recent past; in the past decade, the graduation rates have risen at two-thirds of the schools. The latest data from the State Council of Higher Education, which are not final, track the number of freshmen starting college in 1993 who graduated by 1999. They show: About 20 percent graduated at Norfolk State University, the Virginia school with the lowest rate. That reflects Norfolk State's "almost open-admissions" policy in the early 1990s, President Marie V. McDemmond said. She predicted that the rate will increase with the university's recent shift to a C-average admissions requirement and more intensive advising of students without majors. Slightly less than 40 percent graduated from Old Dominion University, down from 41.4 percent of 1983 freshmen. ODU President James V. Koch said the change is small and termed the rates "basically irrelevant" for ODU. Thirty percent of freshmen, including military dependents, "tell us they do not intend to graduate from ODU Koch thinks those students should be excluded from the rates. Twenty-eight percent graduated at Christopher Newport University, down from 30.5 percent of 1983 freshmen. The school has the state's sec- ond-lowest rate, but its provost, Robert D. Doane, said: "I don't think that reflects what students at CNU are like today. What we're doing now is accepting much more qualified students The colleges with the best gradu- ation rates remain the University of Virginia and the College of William and Mary, at 91 and 88 percent, respectively. That's no surprise to Phyllis Palmiero, executive director of the state council, who echoed academia's caveat: Don't compare schools. "Students who go to William and Mary and the University of Virginia are academically prepared Palmiero said. At some other col- leges, "students may be less pre- pared or they may have more chal- lenges paying for school. So they're going to be dropping in and out, and taking fewer courses Academics say Virginia's figures are in line with nationwide results. ACT Inc an education organi- zation in Iowa, surveys 450 public four-year colleges. It says the five- year graduation rate has fallen from 48.5 percent in 1987 to 42.2 percent in 1999. It does not compute six- year rates, as Virginia does. Neither compiles four-year rates.

ECU - 42 ARMY - 21 Fourth quarter surge helps Pirates past Cadets Harris, Henry spur offensive outburst Stephen Schramm SPORTS EDITOR ECU Head Coach Steve Logan has preached to his team all season about the value of a strong fourth quarter. After three quarters Saturday, KCU battled Army to a 21-21 tie. In the final period, the Pirates exploded for 21 points and blew past winless Army, 42-21. "All year we haven't lost a fourth quarter said running back Jamie Wilson. "We came up short in the (Virginia) Tech game and the Memphis game, but we still won the fourth quarter of those games. That's what we do. That's Pirate football, that's what we're known for. We try to stick to it ECU jumped out to an early lead, getting the fast start they had hoped for, on a one-yard touchdown nin by Quarterback David Garrard. On the Pirates' second possession, a Garrard pass bounced off of the chest of tight end Rashon Burns and into the hands of Army's Ben Woodroff. Army got on the board in the second quarter with a Michael Wallace 2 yard touchdown on a drive that saw the Cadets convert a fourth and one. POINTS SCORED IN THE FOURTH QUARTER �Total Opponents07300010 ECU1414147102180 Wallace scored again on a 2 yard run that gave Army a 14-7 lead with 2:46 left in the quarter. "We talked all week about getting off to a fast start and we kind of did that Logan said. "That turnover on the start of the second drive opened pandora's box and it took a while to get it back under control. 1 was proud of the offensive kids responding the way that they did The Pirates responded by evening the score at 14 a piece on a drive that saw the Pirates move 69 yards after a 30-yard kickoff return by Terrance Copper. The Pirates scored when Garrard connected with Marcellus Harris on a 46-yard bomb. After a Garrard pass was picked off by Army's Brent Dial and run back to the ECU 10-yard line, the Cadets scored on a 7-yard pass from Curtis Zervic to Bryan Bowdish. The Pirates anwered again when Garrard found Henry out of the backfield for a scoring play that covered 15 yards, tied the score and set up the Pirates' fourth quarter surge. "We did come out and did get the opening drive. But we did taper a little bitGarrard said. "But we still kept our heads in it and puched it in in the fourth quarter like we normally do Marcellus Harris is one of the big time players in this program. I wouldn't trade him foranybody. He just does everything. Runs reverses, runs back kickoffs. Whatever we need him to do, he does it. He played a wonderful game tonight. "Sometimes I wonder if I've over coached it Logan said. "Hanging around and waiting for the fourth quarter is going to cause me a heart attack. I don't know. But I do know that games are won in the fourth quarter. It's just a fact. When they bury me, that'll be a nice thing to have on my tombstone he was held in the fourth quarter he said. Men's soccer team wins first conference game Pirates down UNCW,falltolMU Richard Clark STAFF WRITER The ECU men's soccer team seized their first confer- ence win Oct. 1 I with a thrilling, double-overtime win against state rival UNC-Wilmington. The Pirates followed that performance with a gutsy .1-0 loss to the nationally ranked James Madison University. ECU used a mix of senior leadership and timely freshmen contributions to wear down a talented UNC-W team. I he seniors, Pat Jennings, Greg Hoffman and Dino Stambolitis, kept the team together until freshman D.J. Jarmon scored not only the first goal of his career, but also the game winner in the second overtime period against Wilmington. ECU started slowly falling behind 2-0 on goals by Justin Schatz and Tommy Miller of UNC-W. I thought UNC-W came out from the start and looked sharp ECU Head Coach Devin O'Neill said. "Our guys showed guts. They never gave up and that is a credit to their character. I think the potential is there for us to have a really good team. It is just a matter of putting together a full 90 minutes The Pirates cut the lead in half with the first of Jennings two goals. It was a well executed play starting the corner with Michael Logan and Charlie Joyner collecting assists by playing keep-away from an UNC-W defender and ending with a rocket off the foot of Jennings. O'Neill sensing his Pirates were starting slowly made the first of several subtle but deft changes that invigorated his team. The first half ended with the Seahawks clinging to a 2-1 lead. The Pirates opened the second half with constant pressure, which resulted in flurry of shots on UNC-W goalie Bill Mills. ECU, fueled by the infusion of energy from reserves Stambolitis and Jarmon, pressed the Seahawks into several mistakes. The ECU soccer team watches the action on the field, (file photo) "We owe everything to Coach O'Neill Stambolitis said. "He definitely has turned the program around Ereshman Pat Simcox was able to capitalize on one of the mistakes by scoring unassisted to knot the score at 2-2. ECU played with more aggression in the second half and seemed to be in control of the game's tempo. However, just as things seemed to be favoring ECU, the Seahawks Conor Lander slipped a goal past See SOCCER pg 9 Heat's mourning to miss NBA season MIAMI (AP)-A common but serious kidney ailment will keep Alonzo Mourning sidelined for the entire season, depriving the Miami Heat of their biggest star and the key to their quest for an NBA title. Doctors said Monday that the illness, first spotted just after Mourning helped the United States team to the basketball gold medal earlier this month, was focal glomerulosclerosis, which leads to kidney failure in about half the cases. They said there were no immediate plans for a kidney transplant or dialysis. "I feel great right now. We've pretty much got a hold on it, the whole situation right now Mourning said at a news conference where he discussed his ailment publicly for the first time. "The main objective is to get me healthy so I can live my life normally, so I can see my babies grow up, and so 1 can enjoy my family. "And at the same time, possibly do the things that I know and love-and that's the game of basketball. But the key right now is to get me healthy he said. Pat Riley, the head coach who spent the offseason signing free agents and redesigning the team to complement Mourning's talents, said his star center was following the proper course. "Alonzo Mourning will not be playing professional basketball this season, and we're totally convinced that the only thing that should be on his mind is getting healthy Riley said. Mourning, 30, made his first public appearance since Oct. 3, when he attended the team's media day. Training camp began without him the following day, and he has not practiced because of his condition, which was discovered during a routine physical two weeks ago. Dr. Gerald Appel, of Columbia Presbyterian Hospital in New York, said the disease causes the kidneys to leak protein into a person's urine. Without treatment, filters in the kidneys eventually become scarred, cease to function and a transplant is needed. He said the disease is widespread among blacks. "I am very confident this is not related to HIV disease, it's not related to drug abuse, it's not related to steroids or anything Alonzo did Appel said, adding that the origin of Mourning's condition is "idiopathic or unknown. Mourning will be placed on a six-month treatment trial. He will take medications to hopefully reduce the swelling in his lower body, stop the kidneys from leaking proteins and control his blood pressure and cholesterol levels. He also will follow a strict low-sodium diet. But even with treatment, about 50 percent of cases develop chronic renal failure, Appel said. The See MOURNING Pg7 Duke female kicker awarded $2 million DURHAM (IMSCampus)-Duke University's decision to cut a female place-kicker from its football team in 1996 was based strictly on the fact that she was female, and the university must now pay Heather Sue Mercer more than $2 million in damages, a jury ruled Thursday. Mercer, 24, claimed that then-Head Coach Ered Goldsmith cut her from the team because she was a woman. She testified that she was capable are hitting field goals from 48 yards out, and that she kicked the game-winning field goal in an intrasquad game before Goldsmith dismissed her. The University, however, testified that Mercer was cut because she simply didn't have the skills other kickers had, and that Goldsmith, who was fired in 1998, cut Mercer extra slack because "she was trying to do something special he said during his testimony. The settlement consists of $2 million in puni- tive damages, stemmed from the university's knowledge of, and inaction regarding, Mercer's dismissal. "We're obviously dis- appointed with the jury's finding and are confident the judg- ment will be rectified on appeal John Burness Vice President Public Affairs, Duke Additionally, Duke must pay Mercer $1 in compensatory dam- ages. The jury rea- soned that putting a price tag on damages Mercer incurred was not feasible. Neverthe- less, Mercer was grat- ified with the jury's decision. "I feel great Mercer said. "I con- sider it a complete vic- tory John Burness, Duke's senior vice president for public affairs and government relations, announced in a blunt statement that the university will appeal the decision. "We're obviously disappointed with the jury's finding and are confident the judgment will be rectified on appeal Burness said. Burton Craige, Mercer's attorney, asked the jury to reward his client with an amount that would "get Duke's attention But Mercer, now an employee at Charles Schwab & Co. in New York, said that the money is merely an afterthought. "Any monetary award is completely icing on the cake. I wanted to be told what they did was wrong, and it was, " Mercer said. The punitive damages will go toward a scholarship fund for future female place-kickers. Interestingly, the decision comes smack in the middle of a year-long, university-wide program recognizing women's achievements in Duke sports. The program culminates in April with a weekend of activities, including a gala, golf outing, silent auction and several parties. Duke introduced women's sports on the club level in the 1940s. Varsity athletics for women were introduced during the 1971-72 school year, roughly the same time the U.S. Department of Education enforced Title IX, which prohibits any school receiving federal funds, Duke included, from excluding would-be athletes on the basis of gender.

The eccentric, colorful coach became as famous off the court as on during his 13 years leading the team then known as the Warriors to 259 victories. His career culminated in 1977 when Marquette won the NCAA championship shortly after he announced his retirement. McGuire also led the Warriors to the 1970 NIT title. "You don't have to be a fan of college basketball to be a fan of Al McGuire current men's basketball coach Tom Crean said Monday. "You have to be a fan of life McGuire, who is ill with leukemia, said in a statement that he is honored and is looking forward to taking the first shot in the new building. It will house practice facilities for men's and women's basketball, an academic center for student-athletes and a Marquette athletic hall of fame, among other smioes. "You don't have to be a fan of college basketball to be a fan of Al McGuire You have to be a fan of life Tom Crean Head Coach. Men's Basketball, Marquette University officials said they had no details on where the facility would be built, what it would look like or how much it would cost. But there was news Monday of a second large donation to help pay for the new building. James and Virginia Wheeler of West Bend pledged a $2 million matching gift. That is in addition to $7 million already pledged in August by an anonymous donor. The university now must raise $9 million from other donors to match the gifts. The Wheelers founded Essential Industries Inc a maker of industrial soaps and detergents. They were charier members of the Blue Gold Fund, a scholarship program fwrshrdenr-attMetts. SOCCER from 8 the Pirates defense. Freshmen Joe Ellington and Jennings teamed up to notch Jennings' second goal of the evening tying the game at 3-3 with just 9 seconds left in regula- tion. Jennings, who was hurt in practice on Oct. 7 and missed the High Point game, was just cleared to play on game day. "Pat Jennings has been solid all year Stambolitis said. "We were very excited about having him back After battling through an entire overtime period and nightfall well on the way, Jarmon stepped up and whistled the ball past the helpless Seahawks goalie to give the Pirates their first conference win and move their overall record to 7-5. Jarmon's goal gave the Pirate supporters that lasted through the marathon affair the thrill they were waiting for and the ECU men's soccer team the boost needed as "The seniors have been outstanding Our seniors have put the team first even if it may have been at their personal expense, such as reduced minutes.

"There are a whole lot of people that are worse off than me Doctors initially suspected Mourning had a viral infection, thyroid condition or merely fatigue from a busy offseason. Beginning Aug. 23, Mourning was on the road with the Olympic team for nearly six weeks, logging more than 40,000 air miles. He went to New York, Hawaii, Japan and finally Australia, and crossed the Pacific Ocean four times, return- ing briefly to Miami for the birth of his second child and flying back to Sydney to help the U.S. Olympic team win a gold medal. He was expected to lead a revamped Miami team widely con- sidered to be the favorite to win the Eastern Conference. Mourning missed the Hear1 first exhibition game last week against the New Jersey Nets. He finished third in voting for the NBA's Most Valuable Player last season, when he averaged 21.1 points, 9.5 rebounds and 3.7 blocks per game. He has missed only seven games the past two seasons. With a healthy roster, the Heat were widely regarded as the favor- ites in the Eastern Conference. Without Mourning, the outlook would change drastically.
