Midnight Madness to haunt Mendenhall
PICL to offer Rocky Horror,
haunted house, buffet
These two unidentified students spent Halloween '98 in each
other's company and shoes and clothes.
Nancy Kuck
ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR
The Partners in Campus Living (PICL)
will host Midnight Madness from 9 p.m2
a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 31 in Mendenhall
Student Center (MSC).
This event, created eight years ago as
an alcohol-free alternative to the classic
"Halloween" of Downtown is introducing
new themes and more exciting events
this year.
"PICL has implemented a theme in
this year's Midnight Madness said Carol
Woodruff, MSC marketing director. "This
year we are planning to have a nightmare
hotel theme and the decorations are
spectacular
PICL was created as a part of the Divi-
sion of Student Life. This will be the first
year that Midnight Madness will be hosted
by this organization. Events include video
karaoke, fortune tellers, open glo-bowling,
a playing of the Rocky Horror Picture Show
which will include props that students will
use during the show, a psychic hotline,
virtual reality games, a free breakfast
buffet, a costume contest, a hypnotist,
bingo and a haunted house in the Pirate
Underground.
"Decorations are still under way and
won't be complete until Halloween said
Jim Sturm, director of the University
Union. "The event was always a hit in the
past and 1 think that this year it will be
even better
CalfrptB-ottTCia'ls expect UetWWrT"
1,250-3,000 students to attend this year's
Midnight Madness. All students, from
on- and off-campus, are encouraged to
come to this event.
"Not only is the Mendenhall theme
the Nightmare Hotel, but there is a story
line behind the entire event Sturm said.
The competition is not the only thing that gets carved up for Midnight
Madness. Gourds are also hunted and captured for their illustrative
pelts for the pumpkin carving contest at Mendenhall.

Student Health Services undergoes makeover
New wing now
open; patients
offered more
amenities
Lex Wilson
STAFF WRITER
With help of construc-
tion workers and Facilities
Services, Student Health
Services (SHS) made the
move from the front of
the old building to the
newly finished back this
past weekend, the new
building will benefit stu-
dents with more exam
rooms, a larger phannacy
and a more pleasant atmo-
sphere.
The move started on
Friday and continued
until late Monday. With
everything basically up
and running, the only
evidence of the move is
the remaining boxes with
administrative supplies
and files.
"I think good plan-
ning and teamwork on the
staff's part made the
move a smoother tran-
sition than we had
expected said Beth
Credle, director of health
education and promo-
tion at SHS. "Another con-
tributing factor to the
smooth move was that the
excitement level was high
among staff to provide a
better facility and better
services to students
Along with the new
building comes new ame-
nities offered to students
such as lockers for visiting
patients and more exam
The new entrance of Student Health
Services, which faces Flanagan Building,
opened Wednesday (photos by John
Stowe)
rooms to make the wait to
see a physician shorter.
When the design for
the building was under
construction, the Student
Health Advisory Commit-
tee (SHAC) met to come
up with suggestions for
a way to benefit patients
visiting the student health
center.
As a result of SHAC's
suggestions and student
survey questionnaires, the
lockers were incorporated
in the final design as well
as better lighting and the
use of plants to decorate
the center.
The only in-house ser-
vices affected by the reno-
vations will be X-rays.
Currently, X-rays are still
being performed in-house.
But in one week X-rays
will only
be given
at East-
ern Radi-
ology by
SHS's radiology technician
until the renovations are
complete.
When considering the
new design, ECU officials
compared the designs
of other recently built
health centers on the cam-
puses of the University
of Virginia, North Caro-
lina State University, the
University of North Caro-
lina-Chapel Hill, the Uni-
versity of Tennessee and
Florida State University.
"The main entrance
that faces Flanagan is actu-
ally a larger-scale replica
that was obtained from
the UVA said Kay Wilk-
erson, director of SHS. "I
think that the new build-
ing increases the confi-
dence of students seeking
health services while they
are here, yet it increases
the quality of services we
are able to provide such
as improved aesthetics
and a larger pharmacy as
well as a wider variety
of medicines offered at a
reduced cost
Renovations to the old
building will include the
removal of asbestos, rewir-
ing and reconstruction, as
well as anything else that

For three days last week, the City of Greenville's Fire
and Rescue Department, headed by Chief Sandy Harris,
simulated apartment fires for training for area firefighters
in this abandoned apartment building located off South
Evans Street.
As part of the federal government's Hurncane Buyout
Frogram, the City of Greenville was required to demolish
the South Evans Apartment building, dubbed by Harris
as the "thorn in the city's side along with other buildings
in the area which were left irreparable after Hurricane
Floyd. Firefighters watched as Fire and Rescue set
the final blaze which gutted the building, leaving less
debris for the city to clean up, and gave onlookers
a smoke-filled sky and an infernal show last Friday,

"Now Is the time for a new
generation of leadership, for
there is a new world to be won
said President John F. Kennedy.
Indeed it is time, fellow stu-
dents. The world to win is a
world of unprecedented listen-
ing and open forums, to allow all
students' concerns to be heard.
The Campus Organization
Council (COC), which met for
the first time last month, is
designed to support Kennedy's
idea. The COC will hold Its
second meeting on Monday.
Again, a representative from
each of ECU's organizations
is invited to attend, to ensure
complete diversity and inclusive-
ness.
The meeting is crucial in
the success of the COC because
procedural business matters will
be discussed. The most impor-
tant question the COC must
address is whether or not to
have a constitution, by-laws,
and a budget. If
the COC moves
into a more
formal organi-
zation status,
it will lose the
town meeting
atmosphere
that I originally
had in mind.
However,
the organiza- MlCh98lC.AhO
tion is now SGA CHIEF OF STAFF
functioning
outside of my reigns and I will sup-
port any decision that is made by
the body. Keep in mind that having
bylaws and a formal environment
will be much like the United States
Congress-filled with two-minute
speeches and parliamentary pro-
cedure. Many people on campus
have criticized my idea for a non
'normal' organization.
I will be quite honest: 1 just do
not see why this organization must
function in such a manner. The
COC does not need a budget,
SGA funding, or support from
organization officers. My idea
is to have a few key students
who lead the group's discus-
sion. Advisers and SGA members
would be present. Everyone
should be happy.
Why is a new idea-which is
unprecedented and critical to
changing SGA's mind set-criti
dzed by so many? Perhaps these
individuals are afraid of change.
Or perhaps these individuals
are afraid their power may be
taken away.
Guess what? That's the way
the world (and especially democ-
racy) works. I propose equal
power-not total power to one
group.
Please come to the COC
meeting at 6:30 p.m. Monday,
Oct. 30 in Hendrix Theatre.
Pood will be provided by

Why not expand your
mind this year and try
something new? Co to
Midnight Madness and
make some new friends.
Co to the Haunted Forest
and see what some stu-
dents have worked so
hard to put together.
OUR VIEW
Who doesn't love being a part of the downtown festivities on Halloween?
However, there is more to life than just downtown. We at TEC would like
students to realize that ECU is very diverse and the alternatives to Halloween
downtown are fabulous. We should consider ourselves lucky to have a
multitude of activities to participate in.
Having done the Halloween thing in Greenville several times, it gets
old. We are glad to have such things as the Haunted Forest and Midnight
Madness to participate in. University Unions puts on an excellent party and
there's no need to worry about a potential macing you might receive as
part of the riotous like crowds that bombard 5th Street. You certainly won't
have to worry about someone stepping on the costume you spent three
days preparing. And you won't go home with bruises from people pushing,
bumping and stepping on you.
So why does everyone continue to head downtown? Why not expand
your mind this year and try something new? Co to Midnight Madness and
make some new friends. Go to the Haunted Forest and see what some
students have worked so hard to put together.
For once we would like to not hear about rumor about snipers looming
on the roofs of buildings. We could also do without the strip show
some partygoers have bestowed upon downtown from above BW-3s
in years past.
While we are glad ECU is known for something, we wish it would be
because of our wonderful school and not for our Halloween partying
skills.

IN MY OPINION
Young voters: where are they?
NikiajoHU
It's funny how many Greenville
citizens and businesses are always
complaining about how students
keep too much noise and cause
too much chaos. How we throw
wild parties and keep them awake
at night. How when we get too
tipsy, we come into their stores
drunk and cause problems. How
we illegally park on their streets
because ECU doesn't offer enough
parking, but we still have to go
to class.
These people do not realize we,
the students, are keeping Greenville
alive. We come to your restaurants.
We bring you business whether we
are sober or drunk. We go to your
restaurants and eat and eat and
eat. We may also eat and drink.
Food and, not to mention, drinks
cost a lot of money. We are giving
you money in exchange for your
service, so don't complain. If not
for us, your business would not be
as good as it is.
We also go to your stores and
buy clothes. We pay crazy prices
that you have jacked up because
you know we will buy what it is
you're selling because we want it
bad enough.
We are bringing life to this
city. Before the college came to
IN MY OPINION
Students help make the city
Greenville, it was quiet and really
didn't have as much vitality as it
does now. We've helped to spice it
up a little and helped it become a
bigger, more prosperous city.
I didn't realize what affect the
students had on the city until 1
came back early from Fall Break.
The town was quiet too quiet.
There were no cars on the street
except for mine and maybe eight
more. How many times have you
seen Greenville Boulevard with
nine or so cars on it? Almost
never.
Everyone was driving sanely
which just proved not many college
students were here (because most
of us can't drive worth a darn). The
parking lots around the residence
halls had few cars in them. There
were no lines at restaurants to get
in. Wal-Mart was not over-crowded.
I didn't even have to wait that long
in line to get out.
Even though many students
may cause trouble for Greenville
residents, they need to realize
our importance. Not only do we
bring life to this town, but we
have also put it on the map. When
people ask, "Where are you going
to school?" and I reply "ECU they
know automatically where that
it is. Whereas before the college
came here, people would need a
clarification between Greenville,
N.C. and Greenville, S.C.
I have to admit, a lot of the
problems that arise, we cause. If we
in our drunken stupor cause you
problems, I apologize. For those of
us who don't drink but still cause
problems, I still offer an apology.
We mean no harm.
We're just trying to have fun
and enjoy our college years and
our life (just as you probably did
at our age or are now). But just try
to realize that we are not children,
so do not treat us as such. Yes, our
parents may be paying for us to go
here, but we are here to learn and
develop our future. Realize we are
as important to "making" this city
as you are.
So next time when you, the
student, hears someone complain
about ECU or other college students
being in their vicinity, remind them
of our importance. Not only are
we helping to support the same
city as they, and we, along with
them, have the same rights. So bear
with us. We are to be appreciated as
people and citizens too.
There has been a lot of talk lately
about young people not voting,
especially those at the college level.
While it's true that a good majority
of the younger population doesn't
show up at the voting polls, there
are a few that make it out there.
However, it's to our loss that we
choose not to vote or choose not
to care or take part in our political
process.
In many nations that have
existed over time, there have been
many kings, dictators, communists
and others of the like who have
oppressed their people. Today,
we are fortunate enough to live
in a society unlike these and we
choose who is going to represent
our interests and us.
Maybe we don't know what we
have or how valuable it is to have
this right, maybe we would never
know unless it was taken away
from us. Can you imagine what it
would be like if you were to wake
up tomorrow and your leaders, who
controlled all aspects of your life,
were chosen by someone else? You
don't know what you have until
you don't have it anymore.
A large portion of our society
is made up of young people, but
the only way to have our interests
heard is to have a voice in the
government. If we don't vote, then
we don't have any power. And if
we don't have any power, then no
one cares about how we think or
what we want.
If you have been keeping up
with the debates and the campaign-
ing by the two major parties, then
you know that issues that concern
young voters are never brought up,
never discussed and rarely even
mentioned. But then again, why
would they?
If we aren't going to vote, and
the only thing any candidate cares
about are the votes, then why
should they waste their time and
money on something that couldn't
get them elected? The fact is that
we need to change this before it
becomes a trend. And if it has
already become a trend, then let's
surprise them this election year.
Now all or even most of the
blame doesn't lie on the younger
population. It has a lot to do with
how the candidates are discussing
the issues. Every time you see them,
they ate talking about Social Secu-
rity and Medicare. They are debat-
ing on tax curs and how to spend
the surplus. They are talking about
increasing military spending and
our role in other countries.
While some of these issues
might interest us and we may even
have a strong opinion on them, it
isn't enough to get us up and go to
the voting booth. Now Medicare
and Social Security are very impor-
tant subjects and of the utmost
concern to the seniors, which are
entitled to their safety, but they
shouldn't be the 6nly topics dis-
cussed. It's almost as if they don't
know that we exist. Maybe we
ought to jump up and say: Hello,
we're here too, do you have any-
thing for us or should we just stay
out of this? And unfortunately,
most of us are staying out of it.
We don't know it, but we have
a lot of power which we are not
using. By voting, we can show
them that we have a voice, that
our interests do matter. We want to
hear more about the digital divide,
our privacy online, spending on
our colleges and universities, more
financial help for college, and other
things of that nature.
If we start voting, they will start
paying attention. If a good majority
of the younger voters turn out this
time, then you will notice that the
politicians in the next election will
actually know what concerns we
have and you will see them talking
about these concerns during the
debates, rather than to ignore us
like they have this election year.
We can change things and we
can make a difference-let's get out
there and have our voice heard.
X-et's vote this election year.

ms IN MY OPINION
Assaulting Al and Smirking George
foufOK PtojJfiU
No
IN MYOPINION
means no
The Technician (North Carolina
State U.)-With Thursday night's
Take Back the Night March in sup-
port of survivors of sexual assault
and rape, it is possible that people
will really discuss what we all know
goes on. 1 could list statistics and
percentages that reveal just how
deeply this plague cuts, but that's
not interesting. Instead, I'd like
to be proactive and address what
can be done to end this miserable
epidemic.
It's really simple: Women do
not need to stop getting raped; men
need to stop raping.
When one frames the discussion
in that light, it becomes a whole lot
easier to see the mental acrobatics
that take place in order to blame
a victim. The age-old discussion
of solutions that we have all been
insulted with throughout the years
is not only inappropriate but also
an affront to common decency.
What was she doing with such
a revealing dress on? She shouldn't
have drunk so much. If she was in
his room, what did she think was
going to happen? If we took our
clothes off, doesn't that mean that
she wanted to have sex?
All of this is akin to accusing
the victim of child molestation of
naivete. It's a pure violation of our
judicial system's principles outlaw-
ing double jeopardy. A woman
Is violated, then dully convicted
for being an incautious slut. Does
this make any sense? The situation
becomes even more confounding
when the solution becomes more
self-defense training for young
women, more rape crisis hotlines
and more access to years of psycho-
therapy. Eventually, we should see
that a Band-Aid fails to serve its
purpose when that knife just keeps
on slicing new skin.
Yet, these seem to be the only
solutions that are ever proposed.
Meanwhile, we have raised at least
one (and probably more) genera-
tion of women who are told that to
be afraid is to be safe. I'll repeat: to
be afraid is to be safe. And we still
don't talk honestly about it.
We never discuss how horren-
dous it is that, "No means maybe
or, "No means yes have become
staples of our cultural dialogue. We
don't teach young men that taking
advantage of physical size or mental
intimidation is inappropriate.
And we don't teach young
women that they don't have to be
submissive-especially not between
the sheets. In fact, dominant culture
betrays these lessons and promotes
the polar opposite. Women are
taught to watch their drinks, not to
be alone at night and to travel in
groups. Men are taught that they
should have sex and that rapists
are just bad men who hang out in
shadows, not normal guys.
Not all men are rapists-not even
a large percentage of them-but all
men have the potential to rape
when communication breaks down
in sexual encounters and women
are seen as objects for our sexual
pleasure. Yet, to discuss and teach
young people in school how to
clearly communicate in sexual situ-
ations is as taboo as real conversa-
tions regarding how we feel about
race.
Instead, we teach "character
curriculums" and abstinence at
all costs, ignoring the fact that
whatever is said, young people will
have sex. This is an irresponsible
shortcoming that perpetuates our
inability to communicate about
male sexual dominance.
I believe this plague will end
when we learn to communicate
better with one another. Commu-
nication: that means that women
feel that they have the right to
slow down or stop and men truly
understand that those needs should
be taken seriously at all costs.
Sexual partners need to under-
stand that to be crystal clear and be
understood is to be safe, not being
afraid. It's time to start holding one
another responsible for our actions
and have some real conversations
regarding sexual assault and rape.
Once we stop the knife from cut-
ting, we can throw out the box of
Band-Aids.
Michigan Daily (U. Michigan)
ANN ARBOR, MichWith just pre-
cious few days to go before Elec-
tion Day and even fewer voters
left undecided, I feel to take this
opportunity to highlight a few of
my favorite moments from the past
few weeks in an effort to help those
all-important undecideds to make
a decision.
My one disclaimer is that while
I present these quips on an inher-
ently biased page, I will try to keep
it a little even-handed, regardless of
my own affiliations. I will, however,
probably fail.
This race for president of the
United States took on a life of its
own nearly a year ago, before we
knew who the nominees would be
and what form the attacks would
take. And now, with less than three
weeks to Election Day, 43 percent
of the people in this state believe
in a man who refuses to discuss his
drug habits prior to 1975 and 43
percent of the people in this state
believe in a man who claims too
much iced tea forced him from a
room of aides discussing potential
illegalities.
Yet 10 percent of you still don't
know who to support. This one
goes out to you:
�How big is it?
Through three debates, George
W. Bush referred to his "big state"
more than 50 times. On everything
from how he'll clean up our land to
how he administers the death of his
citizens, young George consistently
talked about how "ours is a big
state" and how he'll use those
experiences to mold his experience
as president. Doesn't it strike you as
odd that a man so bent on his anti-
government persona is running so
heavily on his government record?
And at the same time his govern-
ment record spans only six years,
two of which have been consumed
by campaigning?
�A new Al
In Debate 3, we saw the return
of Attack Al, and for a moment
there, I thought we might see a
new Al: Assaulting Al. As George
junior spoke, but didn't answer
the question at hand on a patient's
bill of rights, Gore jumped up and
approached Bush with a menacing
glare.
For the first time in more than
an hour of debate time, I got
excited. I really thought Gore was
going to hit him. Or at least get
in his face, bump chests with him
and yell, "You want a piece of my
patient's bill? Huh? Huh?"
Now that would have been a
debate.
�Tap dancing
Bush, citing the rules of the
debate, failed to answer the first
question directly germane to this
campus: Does he support affirma-
tive actin under the rules set forth
by the Supreme Court. After a long-
winded tap dance around the issue,
during which he proclaimed love
for "affirmative access" (whatever
that means), Gore pushed him
to say whether he supports the
policy as used today, including, by
the way, in University admissions
policies.
To moderator Jim I-ehrer's clari-
fication question, Bush reaffirmed
his support for "access saying, "If
affirmative action means quotas,
I'm against it
Wow, bold stance, Gov. Coming
out against an illegal policy and
then hiding behind rules to avoid
saying that you really do oppose
affirmative action as the Court
defines it. That performance fol-
lowed an impressive dance around
his opposition to gay rights in
Debate 2 and his refusal to respond
to Gore challenge that his tax
plan spends more on the wealthi-
est 1 percent than on education,
the military and health care com-
bined.
�What are you for?
Apparently Al Gore supports
working families. Just in case you
missed that. Gore is for working
families. Gore support for working
families. He wants to work for you.
If you're part of a working family,
he's your guy.
�Basic instinct
In a well-planned and executed
response, George Bush tried to
quiet critics of his Debate 2 com-
ments on the death penalty. In that
debate, Bush smirked and appeared
to enjoy saying that, "we can't
enhance the penalty any more
than putting those three thugs to
deaths" during an exchange about
hate crimes legislation.
The joy with which he moved
through that entirely unscripted
answer showed more about the
Texas governor than anything I've
seen before or since. His well-
written, but entirely pre-canned
answer in the final debate doesn't
change the instinct shown in the
second.
So with Election Day 15 days
away and the major television
appearances completed, hopefully
you're near a choice between
Assaulting Al and Smirking George,
and maybe I even helped a bit.
But even with my ranting and
raving, rest assured that I know
the vast majority of you don't care
what I say. I'm just a lowly college
journalist, and George already told
you what to do with me in the final
debate: "Forget the journalists

University should stop racial profiling
BOULDER, Colo. (AP) -A newly
formed student group wants the
University of Colorado to stop col-
lecting information on the racial
makeup of the school.
The group, the Equal Opportu-
nity Alliance, says the university
is practicing racial profiling by
gathering such data.
It wants officials to delete the
box on application forms that asks
the race of applicants.
"Students need to be considered
equally in the admissions process,
and race cannot be a factor said
group leader Jessica Peck, a white
senior at CU. "The race box is
inherently racist and discrimina-
tory
Group members say they want
more diversity on campus but that
racial preferences aren't the way
to achieve it.
Other groups have lobbied the
university to set numerical goals
for minority groups.
The Board of Regents rejected
quotas last year, approving instead
a plan calling for continuous
improvement in the percentage of
minority students on campus.
Ara Cruz, a CU junior and chair
of Movimiento Estudiantil Chi-
cana de Aztlan, opposes the Equal
Opportunity Alliance's goal, saying
colleges need to look at race and
ethnicity to help level the playing
Held for minority students who
have had fewer advantages.
"I think if the race question were
eliminated, it's almost like you're
ignoring the historical oppression
Cruz said. "And it almost furthers
the oppression for people of color
because you couldn't track what's
happening
CU's minority population lags
behind state figures. Minorities
comprise 21 percent of Colorado's
high school graduates, according
to state figures. 13 percent of the
university's students are members
of minorities.

ITHACA, N.Y. (AP)-Even if Hill-
ary Rodham Clinton loses in her
historic campaign to become a U.S.
senator, feminists and their causes
may still win, according to a panel
of Cornell University scholars.
"She wouldn't have to worry
about compromise said Theodore
J. I.owi, a professor of American
institutions. He suggested a loss
Nov. 7 would allow the first lady to
speak her mind without the typical
constraints of elected office.
A loss "may actually advance
the interests of feminists. She still
would have tremendous access
to the media and she could fight
wholeheartedly for her causes.
In the Senate, she would have to
moderate her views said I.owi.
Speaking to a crowd of 200
students, Lowi and five other Cor-
nell academicians spent two hours
Monday evening examining from
a feminist perspective the histori-
cal significance and meaning of
Clinton's unprecedented Senate
run. The scholars represented a
range of disciplines: law, history,
labor and industrial relations, gov-
ernment and ethics.
Clinton is running against Rep.
Rick Lazio, a Long Island Republi-
can, in one of the nation's most
high profile races.
While Lowi thought women's
issues might be advanced more
with a Clinton loss, other panelists
disagreed.
Mary Katzenstein, a professor of
government, said one area where
feminists' interests could be harmed
by a Clinton loss would be on
the Supreme Court, where several
justices are expected to retire in the
next few years. The Senate must
approve Supreme Court nominees.
"Hillary Clinton has said abor-
tion would be a litmus test for
her in the selection of a Supreme
Court justice. Lazio has said, for
him, abortion would not be the
litmus test. So, in this area, a loss
could have a profound impact
Katzenstein said.
law professor Kathryn Abrams
said Clinton once represented great
promise to feminists, who lauded
her successful career as a lawyer,
her tireless children's' advocacy
work and her education reform
efforts.
"Eight years later, I feel con-
spicuously disappointed said
Abrams. She said Clinton had failed
to follow the progressive agenda
she once advanced.
Abrams said feminists were
gravely disappointed with Clinton's
support of the 1996 welfare reform
act signed into law by her husband,
a measure Abrams said pushed an
additional 1 million children into
poverty.
MATC probes use of e-mail to promote Bush protest
UI.WAUKF.F.fAP) Milwankpp
MII.WAUKF.F.(AP)-Milwaukee
Area Technical College administra-
tors say they plan to eliminate
political use of school e-mail and
voice mail after an instructor uti-
lized them to encourage a union
protest of George W. Bush's appear-
ance.
Charlie Dee, a MATC instructor
who is executive vice president
of American Federation of Teach-
ers Local 212, sent the messages
concerning the Milwaukee visit
Monday by the Republican presi-
dential candidate.
Dee said MATC has allowed
the union to use the voice mail
and e-mail systems to send union-
related information.
Lester C. Ingram, MATC's vice
president for administrative ser-
vices, said he was worried that the
union's views could be construed
as MATC's position.
To that end, he said, "we will
put measures in place to ensure
that these perceived infractions
don't occur" in the future.
"This institution is not one that
needs to be viewed as engaging in
partisan political machinations
he said.
Dee's union represents instruc-
tors, counselors and professional
staff at MATC.
The e-mail said Bush was going
to appear Monday at the audito-
rium across the street from MATC's
downtown campus, and that Bush
was not seen as a "friend of educa-
tion Dee said.

Think about it. Most gifts are pretty unimaginative. A toaster makes toast. A blender just blends. And
there are some gifts that no one knows what they're supposed to do.
But give Savings Bonds, and you'll be giving the gift of future possibilities�from a down payment
on a car to help with college tuition. With eight denominations to choose from, there's a size for every
occasion. You can select the popular Series EE Bond or the inflation- protected 1 Bond. They're

help. Instead of worrying, study.
Capricorn

A friend's scheme to make millions has
rough spots. You don't know all of the

Your dream and somebody else's reality

A man and a woman stole off to

He ran over the man's buttocks,

When four tickets to a New York
Giants game were mistakenly delivered

The guy kept two for himself and his
wife and sold the other two, not realizing
that the rightful owner, oann Koslosky,
would assume the tickets were lost in
the mail and get replacements from the
Giants box office.
It all unraveled when Koslosky and
her three friends went to the game and
saw the neighbors-sitting in her seats.
She told reporters later, "I said,
'Where'd you get those tickets?' They
said they bought them from a scalper. I

Prepare to be scared

Forest, (photo by Maura Buck)
Haunted forest
comes to life in Greenville
Maura Buck
FEATURES EDITOR
It's that time of year again, when witches, goblins,
vampires and sorcerers prevail. What better way
to celebrate Halloween than by checking out the
department of recreation and leisure studies' (RCLS)
annual haunted forest?
This year marks the fourth year the department
will be putting on the event in support of outreach
programs within the recreation and leisure services
department for the Greenville and ECU community.
This year's theme is "Prepare to be Scared
"We have put a great deal of work into the forest
this year said Dr. Rachelle Toupence, professor of
RCLS. "It should be a good haunting experience as
well as a lot of fun
"The Haunted Forest was the brain child of
Dr. Jon McChesney who is no longer a professor
at ECU said senior Tory Williams, promotions
committee chair for RCLS. "Although he is elsewhere
this year, he will always be known as the founder of
the Haunted Forest
Two programs the proceeds will benefit in the
RCLS are the RAYS (Recreation Activities Yield
Success) Program in addition to the Patillo Project.
The latter will help to provide recreation activities
to an elementary school in larboro that was victim
to last year's flood and is still experiencing the
devastation of putting things back together.
"Last year's turn-out was really great said junior
April Husenita. "I hope that students, faculty and
members of the community come out to support
this event as much this year
More than 50 students have helped to put
together the forest this year as part of two RCLS
courses. Though the student? are graded on their
efforts, Toupence feels that they have been instru-
mental in bringing making the project work.
Just how scary is the forest? According to junior
and RCLS major Wes Bostic, the spook factor can be
adjusted to the patron's needs.
"If you go in there wanting a 10 experience,
we'll give you a great scare Bostic said. "If you
bring small children, we will just make it a fun
experience
"Our purpose is to give Pitt County and the
surrounding areas a fun and safe community event,
while allowing RCLS students to gain experience in
leisure programming'Williams said.
RCLS will bring the haunted forest to life in
addition to offering face painting, fortune telling
and picture opportunities all at a reasonable rate.
The admission for adults is $3 and $2 for children
12 and under.
The Haunted Forest will run Oct. 26-27 from
6:30 p.m10:30 p.m. at the forest behind Harrington
Field, commonly refered to as the Frisby-Golf Field.

Interest meeting
scheduled for late October

FEATURES EDITOR
Are you ready to choose a life plan or deter-
mined to make being a student your permanent
occupation? The department of English will offer
a group session for students interested in the
opportunities a degree in English can present.
Dr. Rick Taylor, an English professor, will
head an interest meeting for a program known as
Summer in London scheduled for 3 p.m. Tuesday,
Oct. 31 in Room 1024 of the General Classroom
Building. The program offers students interested
in English the chance to study abroad for a
three to four-week learning experience with the
prospect of earning up to six semester hours
of credit.
What skills should an English major possess?
According to Dr. Sandra Tawake, an English
professor, prospective English majors have
a variety of different
interests. If a person en,oys

education (for potential English teachers);
bachelor's of arts in English (with concentration in
writing) for those interested in creative, technical,
business or professional writing; bachelor's of
arts in English (for the traditional degree) that
includes more elective hours in literature and
linguistics as opposed to writing.
"In order to declare a major in English, a
student needs a 2.0 GPA and an accumulated total
of about 40 semester hour credits completed
Tawake said. "That is except if the degree is in
English education in which case the GPA must
be a 2.5
"The student should declare sometime during
their sophomore year as soon as most of their
general education requirements have been met
Tawake said.
Students with degrees in English have gone
on to become involved in such fields as business,
publishing, editing, radio and TV broadcasting
and technical writing for high-tech businesses,
as well as sales and marketing. Tawake says that
many also go on to graduate school in law and
medicine.
"Good reading and writing skills are much
in demand in all professions Tawake said.
"Many employers will train new employees in
specific areas of need as long as they have good
communication skills
Course work for English promotes imagina-
tive, creative activity and ability with language. In
many cases, the student is encouraged in literature
classes to measure his or herself against imagina-
tive characters andor patterns of behavior that
he or she has not yet realized consciously.
"The experience of taking English courses
adds not only to the student's store of knowledge
but also the student's being and his or her ability
to live with full awareness of the world Tawake
said.

English as a major, contact Dr. Tawake at 328-6023

Benefactor gives colleges mascots for fun
CHARLOTTE, N.CCharlotte
businessman lrwin Belk has donated
millions to Carolinas colleges, but
his gifts aren't limited to stadiums,
athletic facilities and scholarships.
He's also into mascots-large
mascots.
Thanks to Belk, Wingate Uni-
versity boasts the world's largest
sculpture of a bulldog. Western
Carolina University claims the larg-
est catamount, a kind of bobcat,
and now Johnson C. Smith is home
to the world's largest bull.
"I reckon it's to get the bragging
rights Belk said, chuckling, when
asked what inspired him to com-
mission the monster mascots.
The sculptures usually accom-
pany tracks and athletic complexes
Belk donates. And there are more
to come.
In the next year, Belk has
pledged to build the world's larg-
est ram sculpture at University of
North Carolian-Chapel Hill, the
world's largest wildcat at Davidson
and the world's largest paladin
(a knight on a horse) at Furman
University.
"You can build a building out
of stones or brick, but you ought
to add something to it to show it
off said Belk, 78. "I wanted to
give these schools something to be
proud of
JCSU officials used a crane to
hoist their new bull onto a rose
quartz pedestal overlooking the
new stadium. The bull, cast in
bronze, cost Belk about $250,000.
It weighs five tons and stands 20
feet tall.
Just how big is a 20-foot sculp-
ture?
Well, you can spot it from the
John Belk Freeway.
The drivers who towed it from
Texas carried a metal rod to lift
power lines out of the way.
It was so large that sculptor
Kent Ullberg had to look backwards
through binoculars in order to see
the whole thing. And he cut a hole
in the floor of his studio to get even
more perspective.
"Once this thing is safely sitting
in the pedestal, I'm going to breath
a tremendous sigh of relief Ullberg
said.
It's tough to know if the mascots
are really the world's largest, but
university officials say they take
Belk's word for it.
For each, Belk said, he does
research to make sure it's the big-
gest. For instance, the largest bull
sculpture before Thursday sat in
front of the Merrill Lynch building
in New York City, Belk said.
"That one's two times life size,
so we made this one two and a half
times life size Belk said.
Getting the right artist for each
creation is another challenge.
For the JCSU bull, Belk sought
out Ullberg, who Belk heard was
the world's best wildlife sculptor.
Ullberg originally set out to create
a "golden bull since that is JCSU's
team name, but gold "would not
last outdoors Ullberg said.
Ullberg is also working on a
giant ram for UNC-CH, expected to
be finished in about four months.
"It will be an attention-grabber
said Moyer Smith, president of
UNC's educational foundation,
which raises money for the athletic
program. "I've just seen a model of
it. It's distinctive and very classy-
looking
At JCSU, president Dorothy
Yancy was beside herself with glee
when she first saw the bull.
"Isn't he awesome? Have you
ever seen anything like this?" she
asked. "He looks like he's about
to come out and charge and win
the game

Casey indicted on
assault charge
Three days after leading the Penn
State Nittany Lions to a win over Illinois,
Penn State quarterback Rashard Casey, was
indicted for assault for beating an off-duty
police officer in his native New Jersey.
The incident, which happened this
summer in Casey's hometown of Hoboken
N.J allegedly had Casey and a friend
severely beating an off-duty police officer
outside of a local club.
If convicted, Casey could face up to 10
years in jail. Casey remains on the team
pending a legal review.
Warner out 4-6 weeks
St. Louis Rams quarterback spent much
of this season piloting the NFL's most potent
offense. Now he must watch as he under-
went surgery Tuesday to repair a broken
right pinky.
"The surgery went very well and we antic-
ipate his recovery will be on
schedule and that he will
have good return of function
in his little finger said Dr.
George A. Paletta.
Warner is expected to sit
out four to six weeks follow-
ing the surgery.
In the meantime, Trent
Green will get the start for the Rams at
quarterback for this Sunday's game with the
49ers. Former Ohio State standout, Joe Ger-
maine will be Green's backup.
Ryan hospitalized
Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan was
hospitalized after experiencing chest pains
during a business trifj to Florida. Ryan, 53,
checked Yiimself intoa hospital'to undergo
tests. Ryan is expected to be released later
this week after the
tests did not turn
up any signs of
damage.
Doctors
blamed the pains
on a muscle
spasm of an artery
near the heart.
Ryan had a double coronary bypass in April.
The righthander won 324 games in his
career and was inducted into the Hall of
Fame last spring.
Dillon breaks
Sweetness' record
Cincinnati Bengals running back Corey
Dillon broke the late Walter Payton's single-
game rushing record Sunday with a 278 yard
performance against the Denver Broncos.
Dillon broke Payton's record of 275 yards in
the Bengals 31-21 win over Denver.
"I'm still in
shock Dillon
said. "I still don't
believe it. From
how I was run-
ning, I didn't see

Minnesota vikings kicker, Gary Anderson
reached the top of the all-time NFL scorers
list Sunday with an 11 -point performance in
a comeback win over Buffalo.
Anderson passed for
Oakland kicker George
Blanda on the list with a
21-yard field goal in the
fourth quarter of Sunday's

Anderson now sits on

ECU tops Cardinals,
gears up for Blazers
Stephen Schramm
SPORTS EDITOR
Coming into this season, It was obvious that
ECU's standing in the C-USA title race would ride
on how the Pirates fared in a six-week span that cut
across the heart of their schedule.
Beginning in early October, the Pirates would
face five straight conference foes beginning with
Memphis on Oct. 7, and ending with Houston on
Nov. 11.
With the Piiate's 28-25 win at Louisville a week
ago, the Pirates kept themselves in the thick of the
OUSA title chase and gave them their second win
in the five game stretch.
Saturday, the Pirates will take on UAB, the squad
that derailed their title hopes last season. Then
after one week off, the team has the final leg of
their six-week C-USA tour when they square off
with Houston.
"Well, it's just one game at a time said Head
Coach Steve l.ogan. "Now next week is big and then
the next week is big. You're just living on the edge
now. It's going to be very, very tense, but it is going
to be exciting and we'll see if we can respond
In their win over the Cardinals, the Pirates got
the fast start they were looking for. At halftime, the
Pirates led 21-10. After the Cardinals outscored ECU
15-7 in the second half, the Pirate defense stiffened,
sealing the victory.
"We had to get turnovers off of their offense
because you can't really stop them Logan said.
"They spread you out and do a great job offensively.
We got turnovers which we talked about all week
long. We had a chance to put the game away. We
were playing beautifully on offense, but missed
two touchdown passes. As it ended, we had to win
it on defense
Louisville's offense tested the Pirate defense with
its speed and passing effectiveness. As a team, the
Cardinals threw for 252 yards by the end of the
game. This week, the Pirates will take on a more
grounded UAB offense in a rematch of one of ECU's
two regular season losses last year.
"They run the option, a lot Logan said. "They
put you in assignment mode. You can't really cut
it loose, everybody's got to play their assignments.
But their doing a good job on both sides of the
ball. Their No. 2 in the nation in totaf defense. On
offense, they do not turn the ball over and let the
defense win it
David Garrard (9) will need to repeat his two touchdown performance from Louisville this weekend when ECU takes on
the Blazers of UAB. (file photo)
Last year, the Pirates took their 7-1 record to Legion
Field in Birmingham where they were stunned by a
30-0 second half run by the Blazers who eventually
toppled the Pirates 36-17.
"We went down there last year thinking we could
beat them said linebacker Reggie Hamphill. "We let
them hang around too long and they really beat us last
year. Tor us to lose to them and then have fnerh come
here, there's definitely a revenge factor
The Blazer team that comes into Greenville Saturday
will be similar to the one the Pirates faced last year.
Coming into the game at 1-2 in C-USA play, the Blazers'
bowl hopes could take a serious blow if they don't
come out with a win.
"Last year we watched a lot of film on them
said tight end Rashon Burns. "The guys they had last
year were really physical and really aggressive. I've
watched film on them this year arid they got a lot more
aggressive than they we're last year. They've gotten
bigger, stronger, faster and obviously a little older
Soccer team suffers through drought
Pirates look to end
scoreless streak
Kyle Barnes
STAFF WRITER
The ECU men's soccer
team has struggled of late.
Having lost their previous
four matches via the shut
out and being outscored
8-0 in those games, the
Pirates are looking for any
way out of this terrible
slump as the end of the
season draws near.
On Oct. 18, the men
played host to a very good
Coastal Carolina team
that only allowed ECU
three shots on goal and
shut the Pirate team down
2-0.
During the first half
neither team was able to
get much to go their way
and a constant battle of
possession led to 0-0 tie
at the half. However, in
the first five minutes of
the second half, Coastal
Carolina would grab the
momentum by scoring
two very quick goals at
the 46:26 and 49:35 marks
of the game.
"Coastal Carolina is a
good team which deserved
this result said second
year Head Coach Devin
O'Neill, "1 was proud of
the way our kids hung in
there and did not give up,
but we just did not look
sharp in any respect
The Pirates let their
record slip to 7-8 overall
and 1-4 in the CAA with
a loss to the conference
rival Richmond Spiders on
Oct. 21. Richmond's first
goal came with just 17 sec-
onds remaining in the first
half, as Spider forward,
Craig Ziadie punched in a
shot from 18 yards out to
take the lead at intermis-
sion.
Richmond would
strike again one minute
into the second half on a
chip that was just out of
ECU goalie Roger Marvin-
ney's hands. Once again
the tempo and posses-
sion was controlled by
their opponent's, and
ECU's offense was shut out
for the third consecutive
game losing the match,
2-0.
"We need to play
the whole ninety min-
utes said senior defender
Nick Errato. "The last
couple games have been
extremely frustrating. We
play good for a while and
then have mental lapses
that are allowing teams to
score on us and costing us
greatly
Tuesday's game against
William & Mary did not
hold any surprises. The
men were shunned from
the net, and failed to score
for the fourth consecutive
match, taking a 1-0 defeat
back to Greenville.
The single score for
the Tribe came at the
60:46 minute mark, on
a header by William &
Mary's Caleb Stewart.
Despite a good outing
by the ECU defense, the
Pirates dropped another
conference match as their
record now stands at 7-9
overall and 1-5 in CAA
play.
"Overall its been a
decent season so far, but
we are holding ourselves
to a lot higher expecta-
tions said senior Andy
Jennings, "games like this
one are very disappoint-
ing, we come in expect-
ing to win, where as in
years past hoping to win
or sneak out a win, and
that makes this loss a lot
more disappointing

Pirate Notes
Women's soccer defeats JMU, AU
Season finale
Sunday at GMU
Ryan Rockwell
STAFF WRITER
ECU women's soccer
team improved their con-
ference standing last
week with wins over JMU
and American University,
despite losing to Virginia
Commonwealth Univer-
sity to start the week.
Last Tuesday the Lady
Pirates lost to VCU, 2-1.
VCU's game winning goal
came with just under three
minutes left in the con-
test.
After a scoreless first
half, VCU's Leah Robinson
put the Rams ahead 1-0
in the 46th minute of the
game.
ECU's leading scorer
Kelly Gray tied the game
in the 74th minute on an
assist by Mindy Nixon.
Then, in the 82nd
minute the ECU's Kim
Sandhoff missed on an
open-net opportunity that
would have given them
the lead.
The missed opportu-
nity proved to be fatal, as
VCU's Genevieve Tremb-
ley scored on a rebound
from a deflected save
attempt by ECU goal-
keeper Brook Crews in the
87th minute.
"We didn't play well
for about 70 minutes
said Head Coach Rob Don-
nenwirth. "Then, we real-
ized we were desperate,
down 0-1. We brought in
senior Angela Baroni, who
gave us a big lift and
played well
Donnenwirth and his
players do not attribute
the loss to lack of effort,
but rather to poor execu-
ECU-4 JMU-1
tion and focus.
"We weren't mentally
prepared Sandhoff said.
"I don't think we went
out very strong Gray
said. "But the halftime talk
pumped us up. The last
20 minutes we stepped it
up
Last Friday's Senior
Day and home finale saw
great improvement in exe-
cution and focus as the
Lady Pirates dominated
JMU, 4-1. Appropriately,
the ECU seniors scored all
four goals and added both
assists.
ECU's offense
exploded in the second
half of the contest after
a scoreless opening half
of play.
I.eanne Mclnnis got
the scoring started on an
assist from Sandhoff in the
31st minute of action.
Co-Captain Charity
McClure beat two defend-
ers, nailing a 25-yard unas-
sisted bomb in the 57th
minute.
Two minutes later
Baroni scored her first
career goal, striking a loose
ball inside the JMU box to
score in the open net.
JMU finally ended
their drought in the 70th
minute on a Jamie Miller
free kick.
ECU kept the pressure
on, however, when
McClure struck again on
an assist from Sandhoff.
The goal came in the 74th
minute and would prove
to be the icing on an
impressive 4-1 victory.
See SOCCErfpoge
Injury comings and goings
After sitting out for three weeks, the linebacker
tandem of Pernell Griffin and Greg Lefever look to
return to action Saturday versus UAB.
"We're going to try to get (Griffin) out on the
field a little bit Logan said. "He's not going to
play the 65-70 snaps he's accustomed to. We're
going to try to ease him back in and make sure
he doesn't get fatigued or reinjure anything in his
knee. Lefever is about the same thing but he's not
quite as far along
Griffin and Lefever both suffered injuries in
ECU's win over Syracuse.
While the ECU defense will gain two mainstays,
the squad will be without safety Anthony Adams
who suffered a back contusion in the game with
Louisville. Adams is expected to be back late in
the season.
Rare free time
Since the Pirates' game with Louisville was on a
Thursday and Fall Break canceled classes on Monday
and Tuesday, Head Coach Steve Logan gave his
team Saturday and Sunday off.
"The reason we did it was because we had
Monday and Tuesday to practice this week Logan
said. "You have to give the players a day off. It's a
good rule, so we opted to instead of coming back
and giving them Monday off because we didnt have
class to go ahead and give them Sunday off and
work them Monday and Tuesday of this week
The free weekend gave players a chance to relax,
go home or just enjoy a weekend doing the things
they don't normally get to do.
"It was actually relaxing to sit back and relax
said linebacker Reggie Hamphill. "We didn't have
any worries ail weekend. We could just sit back
and watch games, even NFL games. Because when
we practice on Sunday at 2 o'clock, we miss them
too. This week I just watched games the whole
weekend
Don't panic
While this weekend's opponent UAB ended
ECU's title hopes last season with a 36-17 upset win,
don't look for the Pirates to dwell on that fact.
"We went down there (last year) and they won
the game and that was that said tight end Rashon
Burns. "When you get into a situation where you're
trying to win the game because of something that
happened last year, then if you end up in a situation
where you're down at a certain point and you're
looking up at the clock, then you're like 'this is
where we were last year You tend to panic. You
can't reallv fall into that mode

Pirates prepare
for homestand
Ryan Downey
SENIOR WRrTER
The Pirate volleyball team
wrapped up a string of road games
Tuesday night by earning a win
over in state rival UNC-W. The team
went 1-2 on the road trip and was
glad to end the trip on a positive
note completing a season sweep
of the Seahawks in a one-sided 3-0
victory.
The Team was excited with the
win and is looking forward to the
chance to stay at home in what will
be a much welcomed break from
the rigors of the road.
"It really felt good, we were
in sync as a team said senior
Sarah Kary. "We played Pirate vol-
leyball
"I think for any team it is dif-
ficult to travel for five hours in a
bus or a van and be expected to
be at the top of our game Kary
said. "When we're at home we are
moving around and have a familiar
routine instead of being crammed
up in a van
The win pushed the Pirates
record to 13-8 on the season and
4-2 in CAA play.
Their four wins already equals
the amount of conference wins
from last season and the 13 wins
over all is four more then last year's
entire win total of nine. This team
has been able to fight through
tough spots in the season and come
back with confidence.
"1 think this season is going
to be awesome said sophomore
setter Mandi Orban. "We have
worked harder as a program and as
a team. The coach has really turned
us into a positive program and we
are beginning to see the benefits
of our hard work. I'm glad we are
going to be back in our own gym
with our own fans with the support
of the ECU community behind us.
"I'm definitely looking forward
to the George Mason and American
games she said. "George Mason
because we lost to them on the
road and want to prove we can beat
them and American because they
have always been at the top of our
conference. We want to prove that
we deserved to win that first time
and that we are good enough to
beat them again
The home stretch will include
games against VCU this Friday and
William 8r Mary this Saturday. On
Halloween night the Campbell
Camels will scream into town fol-
lowed by a back to back Friday
and Saturday stand against George
Mason and defending conference
champion American University
respectively.
The road trip this weekend was
the third weekend of traveling in a
row for the Pirates who were feeling
the effects of the constant travel.
"Over the weekend we struggled
a bit said coach Colleen Farrell.
"We didn't play as well as we have
been in the past. Being on the road
for the third weekend in a row
is tough we let down and when
you are on the road you have to
concentrate that much more
The team now gets to prepare
the home stretch by playing six
of their last nine at home with
their road game at NC State before
closing with Va Tech.
"I think we are in very good
spirits Farrell said. "We had some
time off this weekend for Fall Break
and being at home and playing
in your own environment is more
comfortable

while only allowing one goal.
FaCU got its second straight CAA
victory, beating AU, 2-1.
Gray scored her 10th goal of
the season, tying Sandhoff s single-
season record for most goals in a
season at ECU.
The goal came in the 14th
minute of the contest to start the
Lady Pirates out on the right foot.
AU tied the game at 1-1 in the
34th minute on a Diane Wooten
goal.
The goal came prior to a physi-
cal second half, that compiled 14
fouls and two yellow cards.
In the 61st minute, Baroni
scored her second career goal, her
second goal in as many games.
Baroni deflected a cross by Mclnnis
for the game-winning score.
Steigerwald once again played
solid, recording three saves in the
victory.
The Lady Pirates are ending
the season on a high note, after a
disappointing start in conference
play. At 3-4 in conference play,
their final game against proves to
be pivotal.
"This is an outstanding confer-
ence where every game is a battle
Donnenwirth said.
"With eight new starters on the
team, to finish the year with a win-
ning record, to finish strong, and
to have positive things to build on,
and to allow the seniors to leave
with a lot of pride Donnenwirth
said are the goals he has set for
his team.
At season's end the Lady Pirates
may prove to have a great year.
McClure believes a lack of com-
plete game focus has been the
team's downfall to this point.
"We have to play hard for 90
minutes McClure said. "Many
times we dominate a game and then
have this lag time. If we maintain
and focus, we can win
The Pirates are 10-6-2 and 3-4

Strawberry arrested again, jailed
TAMPA, Fla. (AP)-Troubled
slugger Darryl Strawberry, already
on probation for drug charge,
was jailed Wednesday after he
was arrested for allegedly testing
positive for cocaine.
Strawberry was arrested at a
private treatment center in Tampa
and booked into the Hillsborough
County Jail, said C. J. Drake, a
spokesman for the Florida Depart-
ment of Corrections. He was held
without bail.
Drake said Strawberry tested
positive for cocaine. The former
New York Yankee also violated
curfew because he was absent
without permission from the treat-
ment center horn 11 p.m. Satur-
day until about 3 a.m. Sunday,
corrections officials said.
"Mr. Strawberry was absent
without our permission from
the treatment center over the
weekend said Drake. "When
he returned we administered a
drug test and it tested positive
for cocaine
Drake said the arrest was
"without incident
"Mr. Strawberry was very
cooperative he said.
Strawberry was sentenced to
18 months probation May 1999
after pleading no contest to drug
and solicitation charges. In Feb-
ruary, he was suspended from
baseball for a year for testing
positive to cocaine.

It's time for Fountainhead.
In keeping with the spooky
spirit of the season, we have
gone overboard and filled
many of the following pages
with Halloween material so
that we can all better prepare
for Tuesday's great adven-
tures. So get your costumes
together, boys and girls,
'cause it's gonna be a wild
one. And say 'hi' if you see
me downtown. I'll be the Jedi
in leather pants.
You will notice that my pic-
ture is not in this issue. Well,
not where you can tell it's
me, anyway. We had a pro-
posal on the table to start
calling the publication Emily-
head and plaster my beaming
face across every front cover
and at the top of every page,
but it was voted down by the
office ghosts because they hate
me. I swear I'm not a narcissist.
I don't even like to talk about
myself. So for those of you
hoping to get a glimpse of my
darling mug again, I'm sorry to
disappoint you.
We had very minimal
response last month to the new
version of the Fountainhead.
That either means nobody's
reading it or everybody likes it
-people always respond when
they're mad about something.
Once again, we encourage you
to let us know how you like the
publication so we can improve
things that aren't working and
keep the things that are. Plus,
we crave the affirmation. We
love it when people tell us how
wonderful we are. Or we think
we do. We don't really get
many of those, so there's
no way to be sure. Usually
our e-mails have lots of cuss
words and suggestions on
various places on our bodies
to stick sharp objects.
So enjoy this month's
issue. We've included a few
reviews, an interview with a
band from Wilmington, Hal-
loween costume suggestions,
a holiday history lesson and
other assorted informative
and entertaining articles. So
we hope, anyway. Let us
know what you think.

A Lesson in
ALLQWftN
Josh LePree
STAFF WRITER
That's right fellow party
animals, Halloween is right
around the corner. For many,
simply hearing this word
triggers blurry memories of
thousands of costume-clad
maniacs surrounding each
other downtown for no other
apparent reason but to
scream.
After a few years in Green-
ville, it seems all associations
with Halloween such as
candy, jack-o-lanterns, and
the like are hard to come
by, but in other parts of the
world they still make the hol-
iday.
Many of the Halloween
traditions known today are
direct descendants of tradi-
tions practiced years ago.
According to folklore pro-
fessor Chip Sullivan, the day
we refer to as "Halloween"
originated as a Celtic new
year festival, probably some
time during the pre-Christian
era. November first signified
the new year in the Celtic cal-
endar, and the accompanying
festival of Samhain (so-win)
was celebrated Oct. 31.
The current moniker of
"Halloween" was given by
the Christian church, which
wanted to make it
an official Chris-
tian holiday.
"Hallow is an old
form of the word
holy, and the Christian name
was another way to say holy
evening Sullivan said.
All Halloween traditions of
today have roots in the Celtic
culture of long ago. Trick-or-
treating can be traced back to
the practice of people leaving
food out for the visiting spirits
of deceased family members
or friends, who would wander
back on this one day that
allowed for spirits to transcend
into our world.
Dressing in costume for Hal-
loween was practiced as a way
for people to disguise them-
selves as spirits. The Celtic
people would guide the spirits
to their homes by placing a
candle in a turnip or a gourd
near their door.
The American version of this
practice is obviously the jack-o-
lantern, which is made using a
pumpkin. This is likely due to
the lack of gourds during colo-
nial times.
Contrary to some conser-
vative views, Halloween was
never intended for causing
trouble and mischief.
"Some people believe Hallow-
een to be related to satanic or
devil celebration, and this is
incorrect Sullivan said.

Top 13 Halloween favorites
Emily Little
FOUNTAINHEAD EDITOR
Don't just watch Evil Dead and call it a night. We've gone
through our memory banks and selected only the classiest, most
spirited holiday material for your viewing and listening pleasure.
These are our favorites: the movies, TV shows, radio broadcasts
and songs that make Halloween feel like Halloween. Now you
have no excuses.
1 - Movie Halloween
Naturally. You just can't have Old Hallow's Eve without Michael
Myers. Once upon a time, this lovable little scamp donned a white
mask and started chasing his sister, 0amie Lee Curtis) around with
a pumpkin-carving knife on the very night of Halloween. He is an
indestructible foe who always gets up after they kill him so he can
come back for the next sequel.
2 - Movie "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown"
Haven't you heard of the Great Pumpkin? He only comes once
a year to give lots of candy to all the good little girls and boys
who wait for him in the pumpkin patch. So while Charlie Brown
chases the cute little red-headed girl and the Peanuts gang bobs for
apples and begs for candy, Linus spends the whole of Halloween
waiting in the pumpkin patch, despite the jeers and practical jokes
he endures. He is rewarded greatly.
3 - Music Video "Thriller"
Michael Jackson turns into a yellow-eyed werewolf and tries to
eat his date with Vincent Price and some zombies from a nearby
graveyard. This was a first in both music and video. It's thriller
night.
4 - Radio Broadcast
Orson Welles version of War of the Worlds
One Halloween eve in 1938, Orson Welles and his acting troupe
scared the mess out of the entire American radio audience by per-
forming an altered version of H.G. Welles' War of the Worlds live.
Although they warned listeners before the performance began,
many were taken in by the idea that Martians were invading and
killing everything in sight. People grabbed their guns and went
looking for these evil creatures. Pure genius, and scary even if you
already know it's not for real. Now you can download it from the
Internet.
5 - Comedy Skit Adam Sandler's "Gimme
Some Candy" skit from "Saturday Night Live"
Adam Sandier pops into Weekend Update to give America some
easy costume ideas. Don't have any money? Pull your arm in your
shirt and go as crazy one-arm man. Gimme some candy!
6 - Movie Bram Stoker's Dracula
Keanu Reeves, Cary Elwes and Anthony Hopkins fight off Gary
Oldman before he turns Winona Ryder into a vampire. Some-
where in all those celebrities lurks Dracula, creature of the night.
There's lots of blood and biting and bestiality and, oddly enough,
romance.

Eastern North Carolina is
full of tales about wander-
ing spirits and creepy coin-
cidences. Here are just a
few of the most popular
ghost stories from around
the area.
Greenville
In Pactolis, just outside of
town, a man was hit by a
train one night as he was
walking home. At night
you can see his lantern
swaying in the air. It is the
man's ghost searching for
his head.
Greenville, ECU
A third-floor room in
Cotton Hall is haunted.
Years ago, a young girl
hung herself in the room.
If you go to the room
late at night you can see
the giri's figure hanging in
mid-air.
Washington
A field beside a local
swamp is haunted with
baby spirits. There used to
be a plantation here with
many houses. When slave
babies were born, they
were of no good use to
the plantation owners, so
they were drowned in the
swamp. If you walk over
to the swamp, you can still
hear the babies' cries.
Southport
At Fort Caswell Baptist
Camp there is a popular
ghost story called "The
Old Gray Nurse Fort
Caswell was a former Civil
War fort, and one of the
houses, named Lantana,
used to be a hospital. If
you walk over there at
night, supposedly the old
nurse is still there, watch-
ing over you.
Near High Point
A young girl stands on the
side of the road trying to
get a ride home. Many
people have picked her up,
but by the time they arrive
at the house, she has dis-
appeared. One man went
to the house and told the
old lady who answered
the door what had hap-
pened. She told him that
her daughter was killed a
year ago in a car wreck
while coming home from a
dance. Sometimes, if you
drive beneath the Highway
70 underpass at this partic-
ular spot, you can see the
figure of the girl waving
cars down to get a ride
home.
Siler City
There is an area off of a
country road near Harper
Cross Roads that is fre-
quented by the Devil him-
self. The area is a patch of
grass arranged in a perfect
circle. People claim to have
seen a pair of red, glowing
eyes as they passed the
road. It is called Devil's
Stomping Ground.
Wilmington, St.
James Cemetery
A young boy was buried
alive. If you visit the cem-
etery where his headstone
is located, you can hear
his voice saying, "I've been
buried alive Meanwhile,
his friend's figure is walk-
ing along the graveyard
because he feels guilty
about the death.
New Bern, 520
Craven Street
The jerkins-Richardson
house was taken over
during the Civil War and
used as a hospital for
Union Soldiers. During the
war, numerous soldiers
came here for their
wounds to be healed, and
some died there. A certain
soldier named Keefer spent
time in the house and
eventually died. Since his
death, the house has
been haunted by his
spirit.
It is specifically haunted
in the second floor, back
bedroom. Families who
have lived in the house
since then have expe-
rienced encounters with
Keefer. Some say they
saw and talked to a man
in a blue uniform. The
house is sometimes part
of New Bern's Annual
Halloween Ghost Walk.

The Greenville Tradition
A history of the biggest night of the year
Josh LePree
STAFF WRITER
Greenville's annual Hal-
loween celebration has been
a culmination of tens of
thousands of people looking
to have a good time. And
though this year may be wild,
it will have difficulty compet-
ing with some holidays of the
past.
"Sometime in the mid '70s,
the downtown celebration
was intervened by police
when small crowd riots broke
out said Capt. K.M. Smelt-
zer, a 17-year veteran of the
Greenville Police Department
(GPD). "This is as far back as I
can recall
Smeltzer said that after this
incident, the party was shut
down in the late '70s. The
celebration returned in 1984,
and created few problems over
the next few years. Greenville
Halloween quickly grew in pop-
ularity, but law enforcement
did little to control the crowds.
"People were walking
through downtown with cool-
ers full of glass bottles Smelt-
zer said. "Some people would
literally throw their beer bottles
straight up in the air, only to
come down and injure some-
one
In 1988, the situation grew
too intense to go unnoticed,
as many alcohol induced inci-
dents led to violence, injuries
and arrests.
"There was bus after bus
coming into Greenville loaded
with kids from other universi-
ties, as well as from nearby mil-
itary bases Smeltzer said.
Following the plethora of
criminal charges and injuries
during the Halloween of 1988,
the city again made efforts to
shut down the downtown fes-
tivities. Downtown bars reluc-
tantly agreed to close their
doors on Halloween night.
Many students relocated their
celebration to Tar River Estates,
located off 1st Street. Multiple
parties not only attracted thou-
sands of students, but many
police also showed up in
response to fighting and cars

What you should know before you head out
J. P. Nasse
STAFF WRITER
The Halloween 2000 cele-
bration is guaranteed to be
the most spirited event of the
year, the latest chapter in a
proud tradition of thrilling
Halloween evenings at ECU.
But in order to make sure
it's as safe as it is fun, there
are some rules you should all
know before you don your
costumes and head out into
the fray.
"We want students to have
a good time, but to just
be safe said Janet Johnson,
assistant director for Uni-
versity Judicial and Special
Projects. She says that even
on Halloween, the standard
campus alcohol policies still
apply. If you're not 21, you
can't drink. If you are 21,
you can't drink in the room
of an underage student. The
school policy also states that no
kegs or parties (more than six
people) are allowed in resident
hall rooms.
Overnight guests are also not
allowed in the residence halls
during Halloween.
"Students are responsible
whatever their guests do
Johnson said. "If something
gets broke, they will have to
pay for it Mostly, it's not
our students that do it, it's their
guests. They come here and get
in bad shape
Those students living on
campus should be sure to carry
their ECU One Cards with
them. According to Johnson,
only one door will be used as
an entrance into the halls and
residence hall staff will be mon-
itoring these points. You will
need your ID to get in.
"You shouldn't let anybody
in other doors Johnson said,
"That's a real issue for us. It's
for their safety
"Stay in groups and have
one sober person with you
said ECU Police Department
(ECUPD) Sgt. Joseph Horst.
But students won't be left
to fend for themselves com-
pletely. Officers will be on
hand to keep the peace.
"The whole department will
be working Horst said.
"Everyone will be on staff. We
will also be working with the
Greenville police He recom-
mended that partiers stay aware
of their surroundings.
"Just use common sense he
said.
According to Johnson, one
thing all students should be
aware of this Halloween is the
drug GHB. Often referred to as
a "date rape drug GHB is a
liquid stimulant that can cause
loss of consciousness and even
death. It is frequently slipped
into drinks that are handed
to unsuspecting students. The
drug is odorles, colorless and is
virtually tasteless.
"Be careful of what you
drink Johnson said. "There is
a lot of GHB out there

Just when you thought reality TV couldn't get weirder.
In an effort to one-up "Survivor MTV puts some cocky
young volunteers in a known haunted building for the
night and makes them do stuff to see how scared they
get. Some of the things that happen are super-creepy.
8 - Movie Carrie
They're all laughing at her, so she kills them. This
is one film that teaches us all not to make fun of the
strange girl with telekinesis. At her high school prom, the
other kids dump pig's blood on Carrie's head. In response
she blows up the gym and everyone inside it, then goes
home and pulls the house down on her and her mother's
heads. Talk about overreacting.
9 - Movie The legend of Sleepy Hollow
Any version of this one will do, as long as it pits
Ichabod Crane against the Headless Horseman out in
Puritan country. A scary pumpkinhead freak rides on
horseback, chopping off heads in the woods while a
New York schoolteacher (or constable, if you go by the
Johnny Depp version) gets very freaked out. Based on
Washington Irving's story.
10 - TV Special
"The Simpsons" Halloween special
America's favorite animated family finds itself in all
kinds of scary holiday scrapes. They get abducted by
aliens, move into a haunted house where they try to kill
each other, and Ted Flanders turns Homer into a zombie
who chases his family down a dark Springfield road. They
do lots of other funny stuff, too.
11 - Movie
Tales From the Crypt Demon Night
Only the chosen one can stop the demons from getting
that last piece of the puzzle that will let them rule the
earth. This first of the Crypt Keeper's full-length features
turns one long night of a holyjada Pinkett Smith against
an evil Billy Zane. God wins this round.
12 - Musical Rocky Horror Picture Show
It's astounding. Transvestites from the planet Trans-
sexual have taken up residence in a big house, and they
really like to sing. You don't have to get dressed up and
bring props, but you can if you want to.
13 - TV Show
WB's "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"
Just forget the movie ever existed. Sarah Michelle
Cellar is a hardcore vampire-killing machine in the body
of a mild-mannered college girl. She surrounds herself
with odd people who have even odder names and spends
her nights patrolling graveyards in Sunnydale, Ca. Some-
how this show manages to investigate the troubles of
growing up middle-class in America and the growing
problem of evil creatures running loose in the streets at
the same time. Wow.

Local Band Profile:
Feel Love Fury
Emily Little
FOUNTMKHEAD EDITOR
They call it "mutty rock"
because it combines elements
from several different genres.
But to the listener in the
audience, Feel Love Fury
plays clean, smooth guitar
riffs with constant chord pro-
gression changes, echoed by
the steady drum set and
toppedoff with melodic,
emotional vocals. In other
words, very pretty, but very
much rock 'n' roll.
"We're kind of in the
minority as far as bands
go said vocalist and guitar
player Stefan Hajek. "We're
not doing anything that any-
body else is doing. We're not
doing rap core and we're not
doing hippie music
For the past two years,
Hajek, guitarist Jesse Rains,
bassist Darell Allen and
drummer Kevin Cullen have
been creeping their way up
the music ladder in Wilm-
ington, N.C. They started
playing shows as soon as
they wrote enough songs
for a set and recorded their
first release, the self-produced
Source, only six months after
they got together. Now the
band has begun working
its way onto the Greenville
scene with shows at Pirate
Underground and the Attic.
"Everybody's getting more
comfortable with who they are
musically Rains said. "That
helps create the sound
That sound is a culmination
of varied musical interests.
Rains and Allen grew up on
heavy metal and '80s hair
bands. Cullen has an affinity
for standard rock bands like
Aerosmith, although he also
digs the occasional dance tune.
Hajek comes from a folk and
acoustic background, a back-
ground that becomes obvious
when he sings. But when these
four musicians come together,
their different genres blend
together nicely to form one
solid style.
"We kind of take a holistic
approach to songs Hajek said.
"It's a kind of atmosphere that
we try to create
Atmosphere is key to Feel
Love Fury's performance. These
guys feed off emotion. Hajek
regularly knocks over mic
stands and runs into his guitar
on its stand when he gets
enthusiastic; occasionally he'll
even dance on the bar if he
can. The more excited the
crowd, the more adventurous
the band.
Their subjects are serious-
maybe too serious for a crowd
of drinkers looking only for
background music-but
definitely honest and thought-
ful. They have songs about
domestic violence and suicide,
but also tunes like "Craving

dents rebelled and approx-
imately 170 arrests were
made for "failure to disperse
Police action that night
angered many students who
later protested the arrests at
City Hail.
The downtown celebration
remained dormant until
which is about uncensored
desire, and "It All Ends With
You about finding a soul
mate. They even wrote a song
about Hurricane Bonnie.
"We're genuine Rains said.
"Our songs aren't contrived
"I would hope that we would
put enough energy out there
that people would sit there and
listen and really get some of it
Hajek said.
If there's one thing Feel Love
Fury has plenty of, it's energy.
These guys regularly play two
and three hour sets without
ever slowing down or taking a
break, even though the mem-
bers all work full-time, profes-
sional jobs during the week.
Rains is a carpenter, Cullen a
production coordinator in the
film industry, Hajek a graphic
and Web designer, and Allen Is
a plumber.
Although the guys are seri-
ously attached to their name,
having created it out of a
search for definition of the
music they play, it has caused
them problems several times
when venues mix it up on their
calendars.
"We are Feel Love Fury, not
Field of Fury, Feel the Fury
or Feel deez Nuts Hajek
announced to the crowd at a
recent show in Atlantic Beach.
All in all, what makes this
band so talented is an absolute
devotion to the music. They
love recording in the studio,
1992, when Greenville was
taken over by a new admin-
istration that sought to rein-
state the downtown celebration
with the cooperation of stu-
dents and downtown business
owners. City officials reached
agreements with downtown
businesses to increase safety
and order, such as requiring
plastic cups for beverage sale
and not allowing alcohol out-
side the business.
Since 1992, the celebration
has occurred with minimal
incidents, possibly because the
crowds have typically been
smaller and more local.
But according to Melissa Bart-
ley, director of GPD public

gonna keep playing and devel-
oping ourselves and whatever it
takes

laugh at. Last year's crowd was
estimated at 11,000 people in
the four block area of down-

She attributes some of the rel-
ative absence of problems to
the growing law enforcement
presence downtown. On Tues-
day night, over 135 officers will
be in Greenville for the Hal-

Movie Review:
Bedazzled
� ���
Nikia Jones
STAFF WRITER
Have you ever heard the
cliche, "Be careful what you
wish for?" If you have, you
have one foot in the door to
understanding the profundity
of the movie Bedazzled.
Have you ever wondered
what, if anything, you would
give to be liked, loved and
respected by that certain
person? What would you
do? Those are two questions
the movie poses and some-
thing you should really think
about.
Bedazzled's main character
Elliot Richards (Brendan
Fraser), plays the dorky, self-
Tommy Davidson. Wayans
plays a writer who creates a
network TV minstrel show in
blackface that is set on a planta-
tion. Although he intends for it
to show how negatively society
perceives Blacks in America, the
show gains great success on the
national level.
Lee's genius and master of cer-
emonial and exploratory docu-
mentation of significant periods
of American history is now leg-
endary. Treater critics will howl
with disappointment because
Hollywood and New York want
to deny its petrified history of
racism and discrimination.
Bamboozled hits Hollywood
conscious guy who always tries
to fit in. Yeah, we know the
type or have been there our-
selves. He is always rejected
by those around him because
they don't take him seriously
and don't respect him. He's a
doormat essentially for other
people's ridicule. The devil
(Elizabeth Hurley) is a seductive
and witty masterpiece. Even
though all of her outfits, with
the exception of one, are kinky,
revealing red threads which
are pretty cute, she flicks and
flashes across the screen flaunt-
ing her personality and body at
Elliot and moviegoers.
The action, dialogue and
personality of the movie are
all easy for the audience to
get into. The characters are
all funny and laid-back. The
comedy each one brings to the
moguls and New York theater
executives squarely in the face
with some hard and pene-
trating images. Images that
they perpetrated on the Ameri-
can public for decades. Images
that negated the talents and
humanity of black people
everywhere. Images that hurt
and marauded the human soul
and psyche, and helped to
maintain the status quo of
racism in every corner of this
country.
One of the most resounding
of these images is the ritual
of creating the minstrel-show
make-up. Burnt cork and gar-
nish red lipstick are applied
screen is simple with a message
behind it but is portrayed in
an easy, comfortable way we
understand and can laugh at.
The movie begins with blurps
appearing beside various peo-
ple's heads naming some "loser,
cheater, has bad credit, sleazy,
etc The whole time these
blurps are appearing on the
screen, you are wondering "Is
this God telling us or the
Devil?" But given the source of
the movie, you'd have to sus-
pect the latter.
Once the movie gets rolling,
you see how much of a loner
Elliot is. His co-workers think
he's a total idiot and hide
from him when they go out
in public. Because of his lone-
liness and another important
element (to which I will not
disclose), Elliot actually meets
Tommy Davidson (left) and Savion Glover star in Bam-
boozled, (file photo)
to both black and white faces
to create crudely exaggerated
human features.
"I did not make up 'black-
face Lee said in a recent
online interview. "My research
for this film revealed tons of
stuff I did not even know.
Not only did famous stars like
Mickey Rooney and Judy Gar-
land wear blackface, but so
did Bugs Bunny
Bamboozled is important in
the year 2000, the beginning
of a new century, because as
Lee puts it, "racism is still
inherent in much of what we
see today

is given seven wishes to use.
Of course, he wishes for dumb
things, which are important to
him.
While you are laughing
at the wise cracking remarks
between the devil and Elliot,
you're gonna be thinking,
"What would I do if I were him
in that situation?"
Lastly, Bedazzled introduces
elements the everyday person
can relate easily to. One of the

The
Ouija
Board
Emily Little
FfJUNTAINHEAD EDITOR
Originally, since it was Hal-
loween and all, I was going to
have my palm read, but those
two ladies in the phone book
were just downright creepy.
One, according to her husband,
was "on the tahlet and the
other sounded like she smoked
a good 10 packs of cigarettes
and a couple of joints every
day, in addition to wanting
$100 just to get in the door.
1 definitely do not trust my
future to their interpretations. I
think I would prefer someone
with a secretary.
So someone suggested the
Ouija (pronounced wee-jee)
board.
1 never used to put much
stock in this stuff. I used to
say that anything I couldn't
see were pretty much suspect,
but ever since I saw that
John Edward show on Sci-Fi I
haven't had as many heebie-
jeebies left to worry about. But
I'm fairly certain that during
this whole Ouija board experi-
ence the rest of my heebie-jee-
bies packed their bags and left.
I am now completely heebie-
jeebie-less.
Three of us TEC girls got
together at the office one night
and hid ourselves in the dark-
room so it would be especially
spooky. We set out the board
and six candles-all that Feng
Shui stuff that made the room
smell like wood and fire and
earth and water. Apparently
ghosts really like hippies.
So anyway, we sat around
the board very symmetrically
with the lights off, staring at
this board and chanting to our-
selves. They told me that if

ghost might get really ticked
off and leave. That was the
hardest part because 1 am
not one to take chanting and
This is the Ouija board and our hands as we prepare to call up the spirits. Notice the hippie candles and. for
added effect, the pumpkin I brought from my kitchen. At this point we still had the lights on.

smelly candles and spirits I
can't see pushing my hand
around a board very seriously.
That's what my heebie-jeebies
were for.
I don't know if the other two
were pushing that little piece of
plastic around just to freak me
out-they say they weren't,
but those girls are mighty
shady characters-but I defi-
nitely had nothing to do with
it. That thing slid all over the
board with our fingers lightly
attached. Sometimes it would
slip from letter to letter to
spell words. But we usually had
more luck with yes or no ques-
tions.
We found out that we have
three ghosts in our office, and
one of them killed Jane. We
never figured out who Jane
was, although the ghost who
killed her told us to guess, but
he swears he did not kill her
on purpose. All this we learned
before I spilled hippie candle
wax on my pants.
That was about when we lost
reception. I think the ghosts
got sick of me making jokes
about what the white wax
now embedded in my gray
pant material looked like.
They told us they only
liked five of the employees
here at the paper, and I
don't think I'm one of
them. So if this is my
last column and somebody
finds me prone in front of
my computer some rainy
Sunday evening, you'll all
know why. The ghosts
don't like my columns.
