ECU inks deal with ESPN
Minimum of eight
football games to
be shown over
term of contract
Dave Pond
Sports Editor
ECU and ESPN Communica-
tions signed a multi-year television
agreement Tuesday that will assure
the Pirates of having national foot-
ball coverage, as well as select
women's athletic events during the
term of the contract, which starts
in 1996.
Mike Aresco, ESPN's director
of College Sports, and Dave Hart.
ECU'S director of Athletics, joined
forces at a Tuesday afternoon press
conference to make the announce-
ment.
Pirates
on the
Street
"On the heels of last night's na-
tionally televised basketball game
on ESPN2, which was the first for
our basketball program Hart said,
"we are pleased today with what we
think is an exciting and significant
announcement relating to future
television exposure for our football
program, as well as a foundation
for additional broad-based visibilty
for ECU athletics on a national
level
Months of negotiations ended
with the agreement that will secure
the football program exposure into
the next decade.
ESPN and ESPN2 will televise
a minimum of eight Pirate home
football games over a five-year span,
starting in 1996.
As of 1996, ESPN will own all
rights to ECU home football games.
NBC's contract with Notre Dame in
football coverage is the only other
in the country similar to the ECU-
ESPN deal, for the number of
games and seasons.
The agreement would also sur-
vive if ECU joins a conference dur-
ing the term.
Whatever games ESPN does
noi choose to broadcast could be
shown by other networks, who
would have to negotiate with
ESPN.
As for regional exposure, such
as the Pirate Sports Network, ECU
would continue to broadcast above
and apart from the new agreement,
and could have four to six games
televised each season.
"We wanted to ensure that East
Carolina got the exposure it needed
in other forms Aresco said.
"Obviously we feel that our
commitment is a major one - we
are committing to at least one game
a year. On that basis, a regional

Staff members may have noticed fewer parking spaces available. Several have been
blocked off due to construction outside of the General Classroom Building. Weather
permitting, the construction should be completed within several weeks. When finished,
the handicap access will be improved and more handicap parking will become available.
Cheerieading debate unites squad
Funding is nonexistent for cheerieading competition despite national ranking
Michael Mulvlhlle, Junior
Yes, because they work
just as hard as any other
athletic docs.
Brian Paiz
Sports writer
Harper Holscher,
freshman
No, because you don't
keep score and there are
no points involved.
Lauren Vaughan, Junior
Sure, because it is a
strenuous activity and a
lot of time and effort
goes into it. I think it's a
competitive sport.
Paige Abbott, Junior
yes, because I used to
cheer and they don't get
enough credit for all their
hard work. They practice
like any other team.

Controversy once again reigns
between the ECU cheerleaders and
the athletic department. After failing
to go to the national competition on
a paid-for basis last year, the ECU
cheerieading squad, although finish-
ing 15th in a recent national compe-
tition, failed once again to gain a paid-
for invite. They qualified, but will have
to pay their own way to the National
Cheerieading Championships in Or-
lando in May.
The problem is that the Univer-
sal Cheerieading Association (UCA).
which sponsors the event, will only
fund the top 10 teams that qualify.
The ECU cheerleaders feel the ath-
letic department should help send
them, since they did qualify for the
event
"We are extremely supportive of
our cheerleaders in what they accom-
plish here at ECU said Lee Work-
man ECU assistant athletics director
for tickets and promotions. "We try
to be fair in our policies and decisions
related to all areas of our athletic pro-
gram. Unfortunately we can't always
say 'yes The cheerleaders' primary
purpose at ECU is a student support
group for our athletic teams and an
ambassador for the University.
"I understand that the competi-
tion aspect is important to our cheer-
leaders, and we are proud that they
were ranked nationally
The NCAA does not recognize
cheerieading as an official sport,
therefore, no money is lequired to be
allotted to the program, and any
money given by the schools is up to
them.
Interim Athletics Director Henry
Van Sant said a decision had not been
made about the national competition
because he had not yet received a re-
quest from the cheerleaders that they
wanted to go to the national competi-
tion.
"This is the first I've heard about
it said Van Sant. "I have not received
any type of request from the cheer-
leaders here at ECU
Chancellor Eakin was also un-
aware of the situation.
"I am in the dark about this situ-
ation so I cannot comment, but I am
sure I represent the whole ECU com-
munity in giving congratulations to
the cheerleaders on their 15th-ranked
finish in the national competition
he said. "1 have had the personal op-
portunity to see the cheerleaders
throughout the year, and they are a
great talent and credit to ECU
The athletic department, not un
der any NCAA regulations, does pay
for travel and lodging to all away foot-
ball and some basketball games, and
give the cheerleaders allotted
weightlifting time and regular use of
the sports medicine treatment.
"We allow one fundraising
project per year for our athletic teams.
The cheerleaders are usually given
two to help them out One is appear-
ance fees, and the second one is the
high school competition which they
hold in the spring. However, this
spring the cheerleaders are not hold-
ing the competition
Senior Pirate cheerleader David
Coates said that he feels the cheer-
leaders deserve a chance to prove
themselves on a national level, and
that the athletic department should
be proud to send them.
"The way I look at it is regard-

Movie sparks controversy

The movie A Reason To Believe
stirred up controversy last night, not
because of the language and nudity,
but because the plot, about date rape,
took place in a Greek setting.
Over 1,000 people showed up at
Hendrix Theater to view the movie,
but only about 800 were permitted to
stay due to seating capacity, said
Heather Zophy, health education co-
ordinator at Student Health Services.
Due to the large amount of students
who wanted to see the movie, it was
shown a second time for those who
were turned away the first time.
Immediately following the first
viewing, a panel discussion was avail-
able to answer questions regarding
the movie and the issues it addssed.
"People were concerned about
Greeks being stereotyped, but this

Challenges Inc a newly formed
organization based in Greenville, is
now offering new experiences for vi-
sually and physically challenged per-
sons.
"Challenges is a non-profit or-
ganization said Myra McCall. ex
ecutive director of Challenges Inc.
"What we do is pro-
vide recreational op-
portunities for people
who are physically
challenged, visually
challenged and hear-
ing-impaired. People
who don't normally
get to enjoy some of
the recreational op-
portunities that every-
body else does
McCall said the
organization works to
contact and contract
with businesses to
help set up the events.
In the case of its first
project, which is for
the visually impaired,
the organization is
working with Two for
The Road, a tandem bicycle tour
company of Greenville. Tandem
bikes are basically bicycles built for
two.
"To be able to provide these rec-
reational opportunities, we find
people who are already doing some
of these things McCall said. "Like
our tandem bike ride, we are con-
tracting Two for The Road tandem
bike tours because they have the bi-
cycles, they have all of the equip-
ment, they have the helmets, they

on it McCall said. There is thi

They don't have to worry about the
steering of the bike. The communi-
cation between the captain and the
stoker is important because the cap
tain has to let the stoker know when
they are coming to a turn, what kind
of traffic is around and the stoker
is there pedaling.

through the cable stations, social
workers, newspapers and on the

Soup searching for students
Volunteers needed
to serve soup to
homeless, needy
Andrew Davis
Staff Writer
Any volunteers? The Greenville
Soup Kitchen is now open and taking
all they can get. Located on Tyson
Street in York Memorial AME Zion
Church the Soup Kitchen is now serv-
ing.
"On an average we are serving
about 35 (people a day, but the num-
bers are growing said Martha
Dawson, a kitchen coordinator.
The Greenville Soup Kitchen pro-
vides homeless and needy individuals
with a meal at no cost. The Soup
Kitchen is the only one of its kind in
Greenville. Another soup kitchen in
Greenville, located on Fifth Street,
operated for three years but was forced
to close in August of 1994.
The ECU Student Volunteer pro-
gram, under the direction of Judy
Baker, used to supply the
kitchen with a large number of volun-
teers. After the Soup Kitchen closed
in August, it was removed from the
program. Since being opened at a new
location and under new coordinators,
it has yet to be reinstated.
An organization of York Memo-
rial, headed by Dawson and Barbara
Taft, started by serving on Saturdays
but quickly found that was not enough.
"We felt we had to do something,
and the response was such that it
needed to be done daily Dawson said.
The Soup Kitchen runs entirely
from private donations, a fact that both
coordinators are particularly proud of.
Seven area churches are the source of
most of these contributions, along with
some help from sororities. Several of
the churches have a specified day. On
that particular day the church's team
of volunteers prepares and serves the
food, and cleans up afterward.
The organization has even
thought of transportation. York
Memorial's Church van picks up at
Shepard Library on Evans Street and
at the Greenville Community Shelter
Monday-Friday at 10:30 a.m.
"There were 18, maybe 19 people
on a 15-passenger van when it left here
Friday said Jim Vadnais, resident at
the Greenville Community Shelter.
The Greenville Soup Kitchen
serves people from 11-12 p.m Mon-
day-Friday.
"We feel we are really doing a
good and needed service for our com-
munity Dawson said.
Anyone is welcomed to volunteer
time or contribute canned goods. Con-
tact York Memorial between 9:30-12:30
p.m. at 758-6077 if interested.

General assembly experiences busy day
Here's the run
down of a day in
the life of the
General Assembly
(AP) - On Tuesday at the Gen-
eral Assembly:
- A House committee debated
a proposal that would lift the state
prison cap in January 1996 and al-
low private prisons for the first
time.
- Correction Secretary
Franklin Freeman asked a Senate
committee to approve a bill allow-
ing the department to hire private
companies to build and operate
state prisons.
- State Treasurer Harlan
Boyles criticized a teacher lobby-
ing group for using "scare tactics"
in telling retired educators their
pension benefits might be reduced.
� The House Finance Commit-
tee learned that a formula used in
a GOP-promised bill to limit the
growth of state spending would re-
quire the state to spend at least
$156 million less in 1996 than cur-
rently anticipated.
- The House delayed a final
vote on a bill giving businesses a
reduction in unemployment taxes
because of concerns about an
amendment that would make such
reductions automatic.
- The House gave final ap-
proval and sent to the Senate a bill
that would require Superior Court
judges to be elected by districts,
not statewide.
- The state Child Fatality Task
Force recommended graduated li-
censes for teenagers, automatic li-
cense revocation for underage
drinkers who drive and requiring
smoke alarms in all dwellings as
ways to reduce child deaths.
- The House and Senate sched-
uled early floor sessions for
Wednesday so that about 66 mem-
bers can fly to Fayetteville to tour
Fort Bragg.
- The House voted to reduce
the threshold for food stamp fraud
felonies from $2,000 to $400.
- The House approved an ex-
emption for firefighters and emer-
gency workers carrying axes or
other tools that may be described
as weapons from a state law that
makes it a felony to carry weapons
on school grounds.
- Environmental and commu-
nity groups called on the Legisla-
ture to pass regulations that would
lessen the impact massive hog
farms are having in eastern North
Carolina.
Electronically bugged fish stolen
(AP) - Largemouth bass im-
planted with tiny electronic bugs
helped hook a black market ring that
illegally sold more than 40,000
pounds of fish, authorities say.
State Department of Natural Re-
sources agents buried the tiny bugs,
which measure about three-eighths
of an inch long, under the skin of
about 3,000 wild largemouth bass as
part of a program to track their
growth and movement.
The bugs, which give off radio
signals to a hand-held box, helped re-
veal illegally caught bass from the
Potomac River that were being stored
in a fish farm run by 47-year-old Den-
nis Patrick Woodruff, The Sun re-
ported Tuesday.
The fish were set to be shipped
to wholesalers who would sell them
to Asian markets and North Ameri-
can restaurants, officials said. Au-
thorities say Woodruff and three ac-
complices made a profit of more than
$150,000.
Woodruff was charged with con-
spiracy and nine counts under a fed-
eral law that prohibits the interstate
sale of protected wildlife. Each count
carries a maximum penalty of five
years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
Also charged last week were
three men who allegedly supplied the
fish to Woodruff.
The Potomac below Washington
is known as one of the best bass-fish-
ing rivers in North America.

to keep more inmates behind bars
longer.
Waiting just 90 days, until
March 1, would save the state S13
million of that money, but Rep.
Sean Lemmond. R-Mecklenburg,
told the House Judiciary 11 Commit
tee Tuesday that waiting three
months would mean emergency
paroles for about 1.800 additional
inmates.
�"You're looking at 1,800

oped the proposal. "Basically, we

That's what we wrestled with
The state Senate already has ap-
proved lifting the cap in September
1996. when the state is expected to
have enough prison beds to house
all its inmates. But Lemmond said
waiting that long would put 3,185
inmates on the streets on parole.
"We felt that the Sept. 1 date
approved by the Senate was essen-
tially smoke and mirrors in that it
repealed the prison cap after it was

The proposal from Lemmond's
subcommittee would do much more
than just lift the prison cap on Janu-
ary 1. It also would allow private
prisons to operate in the state for
the first time, would allow contract-
ing with counties to build and oper-
ate facilities for the state, and would
loosen restrictions on the Depart-
ment of Correction for renting out-
of-state prison beds in emergencies.
Under the Senate plan, the state
would have to spend no additional
money next year on out-of-state rent-
als or other emergency measures be-
cause its construction program is ex-
pected to catch up with prison ad-
missions.
Several committee members
questioned whether allowing private
companies to build and operate pris-
ons is a good idea.
"As to whether private contrac-
tors become the primary housers of
prisoners down the road, or the
state, is something that the cost fac-
tors and the market will determine

pand and contract based on need.

man said. "Once our needs for those
prison beds are through, we'll con-

The Senate panel is considering
a separate bill that allows private
prisons.
Freeman said the state's expe-
rience housing inmates at privately
run prisons in Tennessee. Oklahoma
and Rhode Island has been gener-
ally positive. The state has 1.000
inmates housed in those states, the
maximum allowed by the Legislature
last year.
The Correction Department
pays as little as $54 a day per pris-
oner in Oklahoma to a high of $78
a day in Rhode Island. Potential
prison operators have said they
could provide the service for about
$50 a day, Freeman said.
The state now pays an average
of $62.50 a day for medium-custody
inmates, the kind of prisoners
housed out-of-state, he said.
"The reason the costs are high
in North Carolina is there are over
30 medium-custody prisons in this
state that have less than 100 pris-
oners in them Freeman said.
Sens. Tony Rand, D-
Cumberland, and David Hoyle, D-
Gaston, asked Freeman to compile
figures that include prison construc-
tion costs in the department's per-
day cost of holding inmates.
"Private companies would be
able to do it for considerably less if
you built in the true cost Hoyle
said. "We should try to get the state
out of the construction business of
building prisons

(AP) - Milk can do a body bad.
That's the latest message from
the Center for Science in the Pub-
lic Interest, the group that has
made waves telling people the hor-
rors of fat-laden movie popcorn and
Chinese takeout.
"People have to

ington-based center.
"Yes, milk can do a

milk
The nonprofit
center began a seven-week pilot
project Wednesday in Clarksburg
and neighboring Bridgeport to see
whether a public awareness pro-
gram focused on one item - milk -
can change people's consumption
habits.
The campaign willfeature slick
television, radio and newspaper ads
encouraging 25,000 residents in
the towns about 100 miles south
of Pittsburgh to switch to either 1
percent, half of 1 percent or skim
milk.
Grocery sales records and tele-
phone surveys will be used to track

Bill Reger.

University and
a member of
the research
team, said
whole milk is
the biggest
source of calo-
ries in child-
hood diets and
the second-largest source of satu-
rated fats for adults.
While 2 percent milk is labeled
low-fat. 40 percent of its calories
come from saturated fat, Reger
said. One percent milk gets 23 per-
cent of its calories from saturated
fat while skim milk ranges from
zero to 10 percent.
"One glass of whole milk has
the artery clogging fat of five strips
of bacon and 2 percent milk isn't
much better but 1 percent and skim
milk give you all the great taste
Silverman said.
In West Virginia, health offi-
cials say. obesity and heart disease
rates are nearly 20 percent higher
than the national average.
Jim Barr, head of the National
Milk Producers Federation, dis-
missed the notion that certain
forms of milk are bad and said
whole milk is important to grow-
ing children. The federation repre-
sents 100,000 dairy farmers.
"They make an assumption
that everybody would be better off
if they totally eliminated fat from
their diet and this is simply not
based on any scientific fact they
can point to Barr said from his

Our View
ECU fans proved
Monday night
that we are in-
deed as great as
our hoopsters.
Last night the
trend continued,
as the Pirates
toppled UNC-
Charlotte by a
whopping 10
points, But let's
not forget about
Saturday. Anton
and Chuckie
need a proper
farewell. Well
miss you guys!
Kudos to the entire Williams Arena crowd for their
never-ending support of the Pirates in a losing cause
on ESPN2 Monday evening. The national TV cover-
age may have slightly-restricted attendance and pre-
vented the game from being a sellout, but you wouldn't
have known it from the amount of crowd noise and
activity present throughout.
Although the top few rows of the Williams stands
were sprinkled with Pirate fans, all in the arena came
alive that evening, armed with ESPN signs and a de-
sire to show the nation the true spirit - Pirate style.
The Minges Maniacs came out in full force and
school spirit, easily discrediting claims by an overly
sensitive ECU "fan" (who labeled a certain group of
the student section as "absolute goons" and "want-to-
be Blue Devil fans" in the Feb. 9 edition of TEC.)
This group, centered between the two team
benches, have become the leaders of the Maniacs, and
should be commended for their efforts in trying to
make Williams arena as hostile as possible for the
opposition. If the refs (who, by the way, were horrible
on Monday night) aren't offended enough by their
actions to give them a tech, why should one of our
own raise a stink about it?
Pirate fever, after 10 home games, finally spread
throughout the rest of the coliseum, and made all the
difference. Head coach Eddie Payne, although ending
up with a tough loss, was able to gain the much talked
about "sixth man" -edge from the excellent fan sup-
port. Heck, even the people that paid for their tickets
were on their feet cheering the whole game.
The entire group of fans rocked visiting Old Do-
minion players and coaches (along with the aforemen-
tioned referees) with deafening cheers and chants,
while continually lifting the spirits of the purple and
gold throughout - what they are supposed to do, and
exactly why nationally-recognized student sections are
nationally recognized.
Simply put, it was louder in Williams Arena on
Monday than it has been for any other game this sea-
son. With Saturday's huge match-up with interstate
rival UNC-Wilmington looming on the horizon, the
fans need to come out strong and prove that Monday's
pep and spirit wasn't just a one time deal.

Traffic problems abound
The only major complaint I have
about Greenville, NC, is the traffic. I
moved here a little over a year and a
half ago and for the most part I've
enjoyed the town. Greenville is a nice,
quiet little town, maybe a little too
quiet occasionally but overall a pretty
friendly place. Unfortunately, the
friendly inhabitants of Greenville
can't drive. And I'm not talking about
just the year-round residents. ECU
students apparently acquire this de-
ficiency once they get in to town. (I,
of course, am immune.)
First let me ask a question: Is
no-one in this town ever in a hurry
to get anywhereThis is my first
experience living in a town where the
majority of people drive five to ten
miles below the speed limit Even
the Department of Motor Vehicles is
aware of this problem apparently.
When I went to get my North
Carolina driver's license there were
four questions related to minimum
speed limits and how driving too
slow can cause traffic accidents.
There was only one question about
exceeding the speed limit and that
was about going more than twenty
miles over the limit. Somehow I
doubt that is big concern here in
Greenville.
Andi Powell Phillips
Opinion Columnist
The Emerald City
has major flow
problems and
they appear to
be contagious.
Another local traffic problem I
have encountered is the Stoplight
Phenomenon. This is when I am sit-
ting at a traffic light behind a line
of cars, the light turns green and
nothing happens. I continue idling
at a dead stop for another few sec-
onds before I see the car ahead of
me gradually begin to roll forward.
By the time the light turns red all
of three cars have managed to creep
across the intersection. It doesn't
matter though, because five more
cars follow after the light turns
red.
It seems that the only time
Greenville residents are in a hurry
to get somewhere is when they see a
red light. I figure it works on the
same principle as waving a red cape
in front of a bull. I've seen so many
red lights run I'm beginning to think
red doesn't mean the same thing here
as it does everywhere else. From
what I've been able to tell, red means
hurry, green means go eventually
and yellow has no meaning at all.
This traffic light thing reminds
me of a silly joke my dad told me
when I was a kid. There was this guy
who was always running red lights.
He knew it was safe because his
brother did it all the time and noth-
ing ever happened to him. One day
he was driving along with a friend in
the car and he came upon a green
light. He slammed on the brakes and
screeched to a stop. "The light was
green the friend said. "You could've
gone "Are you kidding?" the guy
asked. "My brother might've been
coming the other way
Think about this the next time
you hit the road: If you drive at the
posted speed limits, you won't have
to run those red lights to get where
you're going on time. And you never
know when your brother may be com-
ing the other way.

ties.
This belief is supported by num-
bers that show that states with higher
welfare payments have higher ratios
of illegitimate births to mothers who
are welfare beneficiaries.
As a result of increases of wel-
fare legislation and grants during the
early 1960s, illegitimacy rates skyrock-
eted between then and the mid 1980s.
There has been much recent de-
bate over the possibilities of institut-
ing new policies mandating the insti-
tution of government run orphanages.
1 don't believe in taking children away
from their mothers and I don't see
where society could allow this to oc-
cur.
Recently Hillary' Clinton argued
that she doubted weather Bill Clinton
or Newt Gingrich's mothers would
have given them up without one heck
of a fight.
The solution to the problem is
simple; attack it at the source. Re-
vamp the welfare system. Its time to
cease funding For illegitimate children
born while the mother is on welfare.
My argument has always been:
Why try to get something if you can't
pay for it in the first place. I'm not
alone in my findings, the numbers
speak for themselves. Ninety four
percent of Americans feel that the
welfare system is in definite need of
revamping. Of that 94 percent 64
percent feel that we should no longer
continue to fund for illegitimate chil-
dren born while the mother is on
welfare.
The lack of responsibility is over-
whelming and we should no longer
tolerate or pay for it. One of the big-
gest responsibilities our society faces
is returning the responsibility of pro-
viding for children back to parents.
According to Wilson, that change re-
quires the emancipation of the indi-
vidual from the restraints of tradition,
community, and government.
Americans have always been the
kind of people that believe in helping
out their fellow neighbor. But, we
should no longer be stuck raising their
children.
You know, this won't be the first
time or the last time I criticize one of
Newt Gingrich's policies, but this one
hits home.
Republicans have been known for
their apathy toward young adults.
When Clinton appeared on MTV in '92,
Bush refused to appear on the popu-
lar network, not wanting to appeal to
a bunch of "teeny-boppers
I could go on and debate over the
Republican's disdain for the college
generation, but that's not the point
College loans are important to a lot of
people, but the repayment of these
loans is a definite problem.
I should know, I have a Stafford
loan and college would be real diffi-
cult without it There are people less
fortunate than I who depend on loans
to pay for all college costs; tuition,
books, spending money, etc.
These are all loans that must be
paid back in full. For a student who
just graduated, paying back the loan
can be an inconvenience. He or she
may be looking for a job, seeking
graduate education, or looking for a
place to live.
Fortunately, for most loans, while
we are in school we are given the op-
tion to defer the loan payment until
we are no longer in college. The in-
stant we leave school, we are then ex-
pected to commence payments.
I feel this system is a great one,
designed to help people pursue a col-
lege education who otherwise might
not be able to. The usual stringent

demands for loans are relaxed to ac-
commodate college students. One dis-
tinguishing characteristic of a non-col-
lege loan is interest.
In most situations, when one bor-
rows money interest accrues on that
money until it is paid in full. Anyone
who has used a credit card knows what
this is all about.
The Speaker of the House wants
interest to accrue while we are in col-
lege. I think I speak for most college
students when I say we have enough
problems to worry about apartment
rent, electric bills, phone bills, grocery
bills and. hopefully, a little bit of spend-
ing money.
For many, times are financial
difficult in college. Tuition increases,
parking increases and other fees are
commonplace. Let's not forget a few
"pit stops" at the Croatan can cost a
small fortune.
For example, say that I go to col-
lege for five years, getting a $2,000
loan per semester. Besides paying
$20,000 back, I would have to fork over
$1,000 in interest
The cost of attending college is high
enough. I don't want to get into a parti-
san debate over this subject but it's a
fact that President Clinton is concerned
about the costs of college; anyone who
saw him during Campaign '92 can at-
test to that
I know some people are saying,
"Criticize Newt Gingrich? Hey buddy, get

admire Newt for his candor. The guy does
tell you what's on his mind. I don't hate
him, I just disagree with many of his
policies.
Were a democrat to offer this pro-
posal, i would be just as vehement about
it It just doesn't surprise me that the
GOP backs this measure. When are re-
publicans going to realize that trickle-
down economics don't work? Forget capi-
tal gains, and worry about the little
people, the ones who "ratified" your
contract
Don't we have enough monetary
hardships as it is? You would think a
former history professor would have a
little more compassion for the struggling
college student I just hope that any rep-
resentative or senator who doesn't like
this policy will stand up for the students.
After all. we're voters, too!

To the Editor:
There's been some concern
voiced in the last week about the pro-
posed increase of out-of-state tuition
at the University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill, North Carolina State
University and the North Carolina
School of the Arts.
Few of the stories and editorials
have given a full picture of the facts
that support the proposed increase.
It was originally proposed by the Gov-
ernment Performance Audit Commit-
tee (GPAC), the widely-applauded in-
dependent ajdit of state government
conducted in 1992. GPAC's rationale
was that out-of-state students ought
to pay the full cost of their education.
North Carolina taxpayers may not
realized that they now subsidize as
much as 25 of the tuition cost for
out-of-state students at L'NC and N.C.
State, footing the bill for some $2,100
a year for an out-of-state student at
UNC.
There is no such subsidy at sev-
eral of the UNC campuses, including
UNC-Charlotte, UNC-Greensboro.
UNC-Wilmington and Appalachian
State University. In fact, those schools
actually charge out-of-state students
more than the cost of their education.
It should be noted that even with
this increase, the cost of a UNC edu-
cation is still a good deal for out-of-
state students - still less than the
tuition charged by comparable state-
supported schools like the University
of Virginia, the University of Michi-
gan and the University of California
at Berkeley.
This budget recommendation is
based on the view that the taxpayer-
financed subsidy is something our
state can no longer afford, given the
other pressing needs we face. Those
needs include tax relief for working
families with children, strengthening
the state's efforts to fight crime, re-
ducing class size in the first grade and
improving direct services for children
in their early years.

The Jerky Boys dial
the wrong number
Ike Shibley
Staff Writer
For those who have never heard
the caustic, insolent barbs hurled by
the Jerky Boys onto unsuspecting
persons who pick up a phone, a new
film, aptly titled The Jerky Boys,
promises to acquaint you with these
two phone pranksters.
I first heard the Jerky Boys
while huddled in my brother's car
last Thanksgiving outside my par-
ents' house. Something about the
surreptitious manner in which we
listened to my brother's tape added
a thrill to what we heard. The mate-
rial seemed too illicit to listen to
with Mom and Dad around. A cer-
tain excitement about doing some-
thing not quite socially acceptable
filled the car as we anxiously
awaited to hear what these brazen
men would do next
My two brothers and I laughed
uproariously at the audacity of these
two callers. The Jerky Boys would
call anyone, in any situation. They
called a clinic claiming to be suffer-
ing from hemorrhoids and called a
talent agency pretending to be the
Egyptian Magician. The nonstop
barrage of insults spewed by these
' two New Yorkers left all three of us
short of breath from laughing so
hard.
The two men, Johnny Brennan
and Kamal Ahmed, who play them-
selves in the film, talked to listen-
ers on the receiving end of their
calls with harsh, brazen impudence.
I cannot be certain that the calls
were not staged, but the possibility
of the calls being real made the com-
edy truly stimulating. The thought
of these two Jerky Boys really jerk-
ing someone around until the per-
son finally hung up added the spice
necessary to make the comedy up-
roarious.
Why anyone thought that a
Jerky Boys film would be a good idea
baffles me, however. Every call
within the film is obviously staged
and therefore lacks the energy of the
tapes. Plus, seeing the callers re-
moves the thrill of imagining what
might be going on with the poor
person on the receiving end of the
line.
Worse yet is that the writers
(helped by the Jerky Boys) tried to
fit a story around which the prank-
sters could make their calls. They
also made a wrongheaded decision
to try to fit in routines from their
tapes. The Egyptian Magician se-
quence is hopelessly out of place.
The Jerky Boys call a gangster
and get him to think they are two
goodfellas from Chicago, working
for a don named Frank Rizzo (an-
other bit from the tapes). They get
to meet with Ernie Lazarro (Adam
See JERKY page 10

They'd better hide their faces! Our reviewer gave phone pranksters the Jerky Boys (pictured
above) the lowest rating possible for their new film, imaginatively titled The Jerky Boys.
Giants walk the Ritz

lifestyle Editor
I honestly didn't think this show
would be that great
No, really! On my way to the Ritz
Sunday night, I didn't expect to be
dazzled by They Might Be Giants.
Sure, they're one of my favorite bands,
but I figured their peculiar brand of
polka-heavy alternative pop was too
studio-bound. I expected to enjoy
myself, mind you, but the best I was
hoping for was to hear some of my
favorite obscure tunes, like "Kiss Me,
Son of God" or "Dead Anything
more seemed unlikely.
Okay, so I was wrong.
But before I get to how very
wrong I was, I need to give the open-
ing act their due. Fresh-faced noise-

Meredith Langley
Assistant Lifestyle Editor
1 never thought that Belly
would be able to top their last al-
bum, Star, but their new release,
King, is a surprising change of
pace for this multi-talented four-
some.
The album starts off with a
rather upbeat song called "Pu-
berty Singer and guitarist Tanya
Donelly gives us a taste of her
abundant musical abilities on this
song with her guitar riffs and
beautiful melodic voice. Even
though 1 enjoyed the song thor-
oughly, it ended up being one of
my least favorites on the album.
"Seal My Fate" shows the
band's knack for writing slower
songs that explode into powerful
choruses with ringing guitars, up-
beat drumming and loud harmo-
nious vocals. This song also shows
Donelly's skill at writing song lyr-
ics. "Unholy and dirty words I
gathered to me Thinking the
point was keep what's mine for me
While he's laughing Hear my
faith Seal my fate The lyrics
she writes seem to just flow along,
and that in turn makes the songs
themselves flow better too.
The third track on the album,
"Red follows the same slow-to-
fast pattern as "Seal My Fate but
it doesn't fall into the trap of
sounding just like another song.
There were a few moments when
"Red" made me think of the song
"White Belly" from their last al-
bum, but this song has a lot of
merit, and is much more maturely
written than some of their past
pop melodies.
"King the title track, is a
very fast-paced song that has
Donelly's voice slightly buried un-
der distorted guitars. It then
jumps into a very straightforward,
almost standard rock chorus,
which makes the song sound a
little unorganized. The song does
boast a short but sweet guitar solo,
and the lyrics are pretty good, too.
As the title track, this song has a
lot of potential because it has that
almost-cluttered sound to it that
everyone is so crazy about these
days.
Currently playing on MTV is
the first release off King, called
"Now They'll Sleep This song is
incredible. It has all the elements
of a great song. Musically, the song
is well constructed, and flows to-
gether very well. The lyrics are also
interesting: "Now I've lost the plot
I'm not the hero I could be
But not the dog I was It's so
catchy that after the first time I
heard it, I sang it for at least three
days.
For the most part, every song
on the album is well-constructed.
Drummer Christopher Warren is
a very capable drummer, and his
ability shines through on King
much more so than on Star. He
has this great style that uses a lot
of buildup techniques. These build-
ups really help the listener know
that something big is about to
happen within the song.
King also boasts a great deal
more harmonization than Belly's
last album. I hear more backup vo
cals by Bassist-Gail Greenwood
pop outfit the Dambuilders, despite
delaying the show's starting time by
nearly two hours, got things off to a
snappy start Their skunk-haired vio-
linist stole the show with her distorted
violin stylings. Capable of far eerier
sounds than a guitar, this instrument
separates the Dambuilders from the
alternative pack and makes them wor-
thy of opening for They Might Be Gi-
ants, who are themselves nothing if
not different
Proving just how different they
really are. the Giants opened with "0
Do Not Forsake Me This song, a
dirge-like number with three-part har-
mony on their John Henry album, was
delivered with a lounge jazz snap by
primary Giants vocalist John
Flansburgh and keyboardistaccor-
dion player John Linnell. Grinning like
a fool by the second verse, I knew I
was about to see something amazing.
I wasn't disappointed. The Giants
took us through a whirlwind of a
show. "Out of respect for you as an
audience the two Johns told us,
"we're not gonna play any bad songs.
That's right! No bad songs, only the
good ones

Ominous Seapods
smell a bit Phishy
Brandon Wadded
Staff Writer
See BELLY page 10
Last week, I heard a track on WZMB
from a band called Ominous Seapods. It
sounded real Phishy to say the least but
it was definitely worth giving a onceover
listening. So when I found their new CD,
Econobrain, I grabbed it Their sound is
not totally jazzy, bluesy or funky; it's all
these things combined.
One aspect of their sound that cer-
tainly made a favorable impression is that
it was recorded live. Few record compa-
nies will release a band's first effort as a
live album because they can't have the
producers change the music in the stu-
dio to make it sound more commercially
appealing. Most likely, in a release such
as this, what you hear is what you get
That's why I also assumed that their live
show would be as good as what I heard
on disc.
For the most part, it was. The
Seapods are from upstate New York and
Greenville is the furthest south they've
ever been while touring. They're suppos-
edly one of the most successful bands
on the East Coast However, consider-
ing the size of the crowd at Peasant's
Cafe Saturday night I think it would be
quite difficult to find someone around
here who would agree with that claim.
The show did go much better after
1 am but this was probably due more
to the fact that the audience had a larger
amount of alcohol in their system than
the show actually getting better. Among
the 50 or so spectators at Peasant's Sat-
urday night the majority of the people
were more into in-depth conversations
with each other than checking out the
band they paid a 5 dollar cover to see.
Overall, the Seapods did not have
too bad of an introductory performance
in Greenville. Hopefully they won't be
scared away from our little town simply
because they didn't blow the roof off of
Peasant's. Many bands that come
through Greenville do not have a pleas-
ant first outing and never come back.
Hopefully, though, the Seapods will come
back to see us in the future

Considering how few bad songs �
there are in the They Might Be G-j
ants repertoire, this was a pretty safe ,
claim to make. Giant standards like,
"Particle Man "Ana Ng" and "Don't,
Let's Start" (their first hit) were care-j
fully mixed in with lesser-known stuff j
like "1 Palindrome I" and "Mammal
In the eyes and ears of the audience, (
our beloved Johns were right: There
wasn't a bad song in the bunch.
Showing off some impressive,
musical talents all the way through
the Giants surpassed the studio veis
sions of just about every song they
played. On "Spy for instance, they-i
expressed their love of '60s spy movie
theme songs and improvisational jazz'j
with a lovely, jumbled climax loosely J
conducted by Linnell.
But the big surprise for the'
evening was "Why Does the Sun
Shine?" A song plucked from some
educational children's record of the)
'50s, this one was released last year j
to mixed reviews. The somewhat myo-
pic tone grated on some ears, and this'
track became infamous as a love-it-or-
hate-it song.
For the show, however, the Giants
relieved the song of any myopic quali- j
ties it might have possessed. Speed-�
ing things up. they almost gave this �
one a punk edge. I still can't believe ;
Linnell kept a straight face delivering J
lines like "The sun is a huge, atom
smashing machine" over the driving
beats being laid down by his'
bandmates.

But the giggles were infectious i
at this show. The audience (a pecu- j
liar mix of alty kids, skinheads and
the utterly normal) started moving as J
soon as They Might Be Giants took
the stage and rarely stopped. A mosh'
pit briefly broke out near the stage
and didn't really seem out of place,
despite the light tone. A rash ofj
pogoing broke out. and a conga line �
snaked around the crowd for a while, J
but soon found itself stopped dead in J
its tracks by people surging up from J
the back of the room.
All in all. I've seldom seen a hap-1
pier crowd: I didn't even see any vio- �
lence break out. Considering how i
tightly we were all packed onto the �
Ritz dance floor, that's pretty amaz- j
ing. Perhaps downtown audiences J
could learn from this example
It's even more amazing when you
consider the subject matter of a lot
of the music. They Might Be Giants j
play happy little songs about hoi i ibk i
little people, but that's their charm.
On the surface, their music might
appear frivolous: a friend of mine ac- J
tually called them a novelty hand But
beyond the bouncy beats is a core oi
cynicism that underscores neatly ev- J
ery song. �
As the Giants themselves say. "No �
one in the world ever gets what they �
want and that is beautiful. Everybody j
dies frustrated and sad and that is ;
beautiful Perhaps not words to live j
by exactly, but certainly something to
think about.

than I ever did before. This is a great
asset on an album because if you
like to sing a long in the car like I
do. it will be pretty hard to get bored
since there are so many parts to sing
to.
One other great thing about
King is that none of the songs sound
exactly alike. With both Doneliy and
Thomas Gordon playing guitar, both
of their sounds shine through. This
adds more variety to their songs and
shows their ability to put their own
creative effort into the band with-
out trying to outshine each other.
Overall. King is a great album.
There are maybe one or two songs
that start to grate your nerves be-
fore they are over, but I've forgot-
ten which ones they were because
I got so wrapped up in the disc.
1 highly suggest this album to
anyone who is a Belly fan. You will
not be disappointed. 1 will admit
that 1 was a little thrown off when
I first started listening, but I can
already tell that I will like King just
as much, if not more, than I liked

ation that saps any comedic energy
right from the film.
The Jerky Boys. Brennan and
Kamal, still have humor. Brennan
called into Letterman last week and
got laughs even with his toned-down
language. But the film lacks story,
originality and acting. Not one aspect
of The Jerky Boys warrants praise.
The Jerky Boys detracts from
the comedy of the phone calls. Ev-
ery joke falls flat, which makes the
film painful to watch. Despite cam-
eos by Tom Jones and Ozzy
Osbourne, the film sinks to the low-
est possible depths of cinema, thus
according it the lowest possible rat-
ing. The Jerky Boys need to stay on
tape and away from celluloid.
On a scale of one to ten, The

Monday night at Williams
Arena, the Pirates played in front
of a national TV audience on
ESPN2, and had the opportunity to
knock off the No. 1 team in the
CAA in front of a very enthusiastic
crowd of 6,865.
Then came Mario Mullen to
break up the spirit.
The junior
from Virginia
Beach connected
on 11 of 12 field
goal attempts for
27 points in lead-
ing the Old Do-
minion Monarchs
to a 81-73 victory
over ECU. Petey
Sessoms added 17
points for the
Monarchs, who
improved to 11-2
in the CAA and
16-11 overall.
"Were lucky
to get a win down
here First year
ODU coach Jeff
Capel said. "It is a very tough place
to play - they've got a really good
situation down here at East Caro-
lina with what they have done to
the arena
The Pirates, led by Anton
Gill's 13 points, held a 35-33 lead
at halftime, but the Monarchs hit
17-of-23 field goals in the second
half to pull away.
"You look at the stats and it
was amazing that we had a chance
to win the game ECU head coach
Eddie Payne said.
"They shot 70 per-
cent for the sec-
ond half and 60
percent for the
game
The game was
closely contested
throughout until
the Monarchs
went on a 17-6
run in the second
half to take a 68-
58 lead with just
under five min-
utes remaining.

Edwards leads off 1995
Former Clinton

Lamont Edwards
Aaron Wilson
Staff Writer
Early this season, Lamont
Edwards has stepped up in a big
way filling two new roles for the
Pirate baseball team. The starting
second baseman and leadoff hitter
is hitting .429 after three games,
and leads the team in runs scored
and stolen bases. He has also been
impressive in the field, committing
just one error so far this year.
Success has not come easily for
Edwards, who waited his turn as a
freshman in a reserve outfield role
before finishing fourth on the team
in batting last year with a .317 av-
erage.
After a productive summer
with the Arlington Senators in a
Washington D.Carea summer
league, expectations are high for
Edwards. He led the Senators in
batting (.360) and stole 17 bases.
"Lamont Edwards is a player
that has paid his dues Overton
said. "He was a backup player on a
outstanding 1993 squad. Last year,
he proved he is a Division-1 hitter.
I have every confidence that this
year he will prove to everyone as-
sociated with college baseball that
he is an outstanding prospect for
the professional scouts
Edwards has the size (6-2,
200), speed and natural ability to
play second base. He has good bat
speed and a strong arm that he
developed playing in the outfield.
"The couple of scouts that I
have talked to want to see me hit
for more power and work hard at
my new position Edwards said.
"I'm not too worried about getting
drafted and all of that stuff. 1 just
try to concentrate on school and
baseball
With the loss of First-Team All-
CAA outfielder, Jamie Borel to the
Detroit Tigers organization Coach
Overton has to replace ECU'S all-
time stolen base leader, who was a
star leadoff hitter during his ten-
ure as a Pirate.
"1 knew somebody had to step
up and be the leadoff hitter
Edwards said. "I felt like I had the
speed to be a productive
baserunner and a good eye to not
swing at bad pitches and get on
base. So far, it has worked out real
well, and we are scoring a lot of
runs

Not one, two or three, but four
state high school-level track titles in
one dayit's a collegiate track coach's
recruiting dream. At ECU, it's a real-
ity, in the person of sophomore Brian
Johnson.
While at Beaufort (S.C.) High
School, Johnson was a four-year
letterman in track and football as a
wide receiver. The home-state recruit-
ers from the University of South Caro-
lina and Clemson actively courted
Johnson, but it was the word of an
impressed colleague that brought
Johnson to the attention of veteran
yy
Pirate track head coach Bill Carson.
Carson was at his first indoor-out-
door meet of the 1992-93 season,
when he got the tip from a rival coach
about a South Carolina senior who
could do both track and football.
"The coach from University of
South Carolina came up to me and
said, 'Coach, there's a kid in South
Carolina that I think would really fit
the nature of your program Carson
said.
When Carson returned to
Greenville, he did his homework on
Johnson and made several efforts to
contact him, but was not able to reach
him that week.
Within a couple of days, Carson
received a call from the Pirate foot-
ball office. They were looking at a com-
bination football-track athletc.named
Brian Johnson.
"Well, a little light bulb went off
Carson said. "So then when I talked
with Brian, and saw his size, I knew
what he could do because I had
checked that out. His times and all
were very legit 1 knew that he was
going to have a good high school
senior year
Both athletic offices worked to-
gether with Brian in an effort to sign
him to both sports for the Pirates.
"I told Brian if ECU football did
not take him, that I would, and give
him a full scholarship Carson said.
"He could participate in football if he
chose to
"Well, that's exactly what hap-
pened Carson said. "Football signed
the primary people. They didn't take
Brian - and I did. Brian chose not to ;
play football just simply because of j
academics. He's about a 2.4 GPA stu- ;
dent now, his decision was good. It's
worked out well
The transition from high school
to college was fairly smooth for
Johnson.
"I felt like I could adapt easily be-
cause Greenville is a small town kind
of like my hometown Johnson said.
Johnson's freshman year as a
track athlete was far from easy,
though. Trouble began during the
second indoor-outdoor meet of his
. first season.
"He hurt a hamstring outdoor
trying to race two All-Americans
Carson said. "He led them at the 200,
and then poof
"Last year was doomed from the
beginning, because I got hurt and I
got red-shirted for the rest of the sea-
son Johnson lamented. "Then I fi-
nally started running outdoors, and I
got hurt again - so 1 never got the
chance to run open events, I just ran

N.C. minor
league franchise
joins the Internet
(AP) - Already one of the hot
merchandising commodities in the
country, the Hickory Crawdads
have become the first minor league
baseball team on the Internet-
Internet surfers can check out
the catchy crustacean logo on the
full-color electronic catalog, and
download order forms for Crawdads
caps and T-shirts to their printers.
Wired-in baseball junkies can
catch up on team news, trades,
schedules and even send questions
to the team's management.
Still to come: Game statistics,
and player profiles, with photos,
and ultimately. E-mail souvenir or-
ders.
"Everything I read says this is
the wave of the future in market-
ing and merchandising, and we
wanted to catch it early Marty
Steele. the Crawdads' vice presi-
dent of baseball operations, told
The Charlotte Observer.
The Crawdads. the Chicago
White Sox affiliate in the Class A
South Atlantic League, aren't the
first baseball team on the Internet.
The major league Seattle Mariners
beat them to that distinction.
The Crawdads connection is
the latest feature of North Carolina
Networks, a service offered
through the World Wide Web. The
Web is an increasingly popular seg-
ment of the worldwide computer
network called Internet, which re-
quires a fee to access.
John Ellis, a Catawba Valley
Community College professor,
started Networks about two
months ago to offer tourism infor-
mation for visitors' bureaus in 13
North Carolina cities. It also car-
ries advertising, for a fee, for
Hickory's furniture dealers and for
the upcoming Southern Spring
Show in Charlotte.
But it's the Crawdads connec-
tion that draws the surfers.
Before Feb. 2, when the
Crawdads went on-line, the most
people who had tapped into Ellis'
service in one day was 845. On Feb.

Drug use hurt '80s Mets
(AP) - The New York Mets partied
even harder than they played in the
1980s, according to former star Darryl
Strawberry.
In the Feb. 27 issue of Sports Illus-
trated. Strawberry says widespread alco-
hol and drug abuse hurt the Mets.
"If we wouldn't have partied so
much, we would have won more says
Strawberry, who played for the Mets from
1983-90. "We had a team full of drunks.
We'd go into a town and couldn't wait to
go out drinking and partying, always
asking each other, 'Hey, where you go-
ing tonight?'
"If we had 24 guys on the team in
those days, at least half of them were
hard drinkers or drug users. That was a
hard-living team
Strawberry and former Mets team-
mate Dwight Gooden are featured in a
cover story entitled "The Dead End
Kids Both were National League Rook-
ies of the Year, both have been troubled
by alcohol and drug abuse, and both are
currently suspended from major league
baseball.
Former Mets trainer Steve Garland
said that after Gooden got out of a re-
hab center in 1987, the pitcher told him
the team had a drug problem.
"He talked to me about how preva-
lent the drug use was on the team Gar-
land told SI. "He started calling off
names. He rattled off more than 10 -
more than half the team. Probably
around 14 or 15. And I thought the '84,
'85 and '86 teams were wilder
The story traces the downfall of
Strawberry and Gooden, who helped the
Mets win the World Series in 1986.
Strawberry was released by the San
Francisco Giants and suspended from
baseball for 60 days on Feb. 6 after test-
ing positive for cocaine.
"It became a lifestyle for me Straw-
berry says of his alcohol and drug use.
"I played games when I was drunk, or
just getting off a drunk or all-night par-
tying or coming down off amphet-
amines
Gooden, who became a free agent
last October, was suspended twice last
year after flunking drug tests. The sec-
ond suspension covers the entire 1995
season.
Gooden says his problems started
with beer, which led to haid liquor, then
cocaine.
"If I don't drink, I have no desire to
use coke he says. "You could put a
bag of coke in front of me right now and
I'd have no desire for it at all.
Gooden and Strawberry have been
treated for alcohol and drug problems,
but both have suffered relapses.
CRAW from page 13
The Crawdads had the second-
most popular logo in all of minor
league baseball in 1993 and will fin-
ish in the top five in merchandise
sold for the 1994 season, Steele
predicted. Other popular teams in-
clude the Durham Bulls, the
Rancho Cucamonga (Calif.) Quakes
and the Toledo Mud Hens.
Under the licensing agreement
with Major League Baseball, how-
ever, minor league teams get only
9 percent of the revenue from such
merchandise as caps and jackets
bearing their logo. That s because
the minors are piggybacking on the
majors souvenir-distribution sys-
tem.
But the Crawdads keep all the
profit on anything they sell out of
their own warehouse at one of
the Crawdad s Hole stores or
through their printed catalog,
Steele said.
Right now, the Crawdads don t
have enough computer power to get
on the Internet from their offices,
much less accept electronic orders
for their wares. Internet shoppers
will have to pnnt the team's order
form off the computer and mail or
fax it in.
"But by the end of the season,
we'll have our computers upgraded
and be ready for E-mail orders
Steele said.
Basebail executives will be
watching the Crawdads' Internet
experiment closely, said Miles Wolff,
publisher of Baseball America, a
weekly newspaper that covers minor
league baseball.
"If they are successful, they'll
have everyone else in minor league
baseball copying them said Wolff,
who owned the Durham Bulls for 12
years until he sold the team in 1991.
"Until the world is a little more
plugged in computer-wise, I see this
as having a limited impact on the
sale of team-logo merchandise to
start with. But you never know. This
could be the start of a trend

rates were 5-of-7. Chuckie Robinson
added 12 points and a whopping 13
rebounds to ECU'S totals. Tim

each added 11 for the Pirates, who
dropped to 16-10 overall and 6-7 in
the CAA, holding fourth place.
"Our kids played hard and tried
in spurts, but there was a little slight
toughness that ODU had tonight
said Payne.
The Pirates wrap up the regluar
season on Saturday night at Will-
iams Arena when they host in-state
rival UNC-Wimington. ECU will try
to avenge an earlier loss they suf-
fered from the Seahawks. Tip-off is

will compete in the championship
meet
"We have six going to the ECAC
indoor meet, which is impressive be-
cause it is the most we've ever sent to
the indoor championship said ECU
coach "Choo" Justice.

4:15 today, not 4:30.
tion at second base, lettering four
years when he played for Clinton
High School. He also earned all-
conference honors in football and
basketball.
Making the transition from the
outfield to second base hasn't been
easy because of the 30 pounds that
he has put on since last playing the
position. The weight gain has both
positive and negative aspects.
"It isn't uncomfortable, but I
just have to get used to carrying
this weight Edwards said. "I have
spent a lot of time in the weight
room since I started school here,
and it has really helped me to im-
prove my power
As far as goals go, Edwards
doesn't set any individual goals ex-
cept getting on base a lot and im-
proving his batting average. Areas
he wants to improve on are steal-
ing more bases by getting a better
jump on the pitcher, and to cut his
swing down to make better contact
with the ball.
The double-play combination of
Edwards and shortstop Chad
Puckett looks to be outstanding
because of Puckett's experience at
the position and Edwards' out-
standing range and strong arm.
"I really like playing with Chad
because he has played the position
for a couple years now, and he is
one of the best defensive players
on the team Edwards said. "Once
we get used to playing together we
should really be good at turning the
double play. One thing I have to get
used to is pivoting and making the
throw to first when runners slide
and try to take me out. You have
to make the tag and throw really
fast to get the job done
The team was picked to finish
fifth in the CAA, a prediction based
upon the graduation of the major-
ity of the pitching staff.
"We are a young team, but we
do have a lot of talent Edwards
said. "I think we can finish first in
the conference because this is a
much closer, unified team than last
year. Coach Overton is a great
coach. He teaches us to play with
reckless abandon, and play as hard
as we can every inning
Edwards began his career at
East Carolina as a two-sport athlete,
playing football and baseball. At
wide receiver Edwards excelled in
several spring scrimmages, but base-
ball has always been his first love.
"I was going to be drafted, but
I decided to give football a shot be-
fore I was committed to baseball full-
time Edwards said. "I think it just
takes a lot of hard work to practice
both sports, and it wore me out. Be-
sides, baseball is definitely my favor-
ite and better sport, so I feel like I
made the right decision
Making the right choices is very
important for the information pro-
cessing major, and he regularly
speaks with young people In the
community as a role model.
"I talk to a lot of kids about
baseball, but I realiy like to tell them
how important it is to stay in school
and out of trouble he said, if they
want to play sports they have to
work hard in the classroom and at
their sport
relays
Johnson has had a summer and
fall of good health and recuperation
to prepare him for his sophomore year.
"Over the summer, 1 was just
working outlaying lowjust trying
to recover from the injury Johnson
said.
At the moment, the worst enemy
of the men's track team is the combi-
nation of the cold, wet weather expe-
rienced continuously for a two-to-
three week period in February, plus
the flu is making the rounds with all
of Carson's athletes.
"Our team is sick coach said.
"We've had the flu just rampage
through us. We have nowhere to work
out I have an NCAA Relay Team right
now - but we can't get it there
In the past 27 years that Carson
has guided the men's track program
for the Pirates, he has built a strong
reputation for ECU track, especially
in the relays. ECU, however, is one of
the few Division I NCAA schools with-
out an indoor track practice facility;
when the weather is wet and under
40 degrees outside, he can't afford to
run the health risk of practicing his
athletes hard.
Once the weather breaks and
Carson can get his runners outside,
everyone expects a strong effort from
the Pirates.
"It's going great, really Johnson
said. "We're getting real close to quali-
fying for the nationa!sand once we
get everybody healthy, and get over
the sicknesses, we should be able to
do it
Carson intends to shift Johnson's
role in the relays from the first leg to
the second leg of a four-man relay
team.
"I've been using him as the lead-
off leg Carson said. "I'm going to
switch that. I'm going to lead off with
sophomore Lewis Harris, and put
Brian second, because I don't think
anybody around is going to have a bet-
ter second leg than what Brian is, with
his speed and the combination
"The second leg is just as impor-
tant, if not as important, as the anchor
leg coach explained. "Brian can take
the baton on the second leg, make that
cut stay a little wide, don't get dragged
down into Lane One, and use his long
stride and he'll be very beneficial
Considering the problems
Johnson has experienced in the past
several months, his mind is focused on
one area the strongest.
"For this year, my main goal is to
stay healthy Johnson said. "Through-
out college, I want to get All-American
- maybe run in the trials for the Olym-
pics
Johnson, in reviewing his team-
mates, has a very balanced view of the
men's track squad.
"We don't have really one standout
performer Johnson said. "Everybody
contributeseverybody basically runs
the same thing, and no matter who runs
the event or what relay, the times will
pretty much be the same. Instead of just
depending on one person, it's more like
a group effort"
All in all, Carson is confident that
Johnson will carry his part of the load
for the 1994-95 meets.
"I think that he's going to have a
very good year Carson said. "He's very
sound

"ECU will have a chance to
wrap the ESPN coverage with re-

yond football and basketball, to in-
clude baseball, women's soccer,

tury
ESPN has televised live five
previous football games involving
ECU - the 1994 Liberty Bowl, 1992
Peach Bowl and regular-season
games against Illinois (1991),
Southern Miss (1992) and Syracuse
(1993).
"ESPN is pleased to have en-
tered into this multi-year agreement
which includes football coverage on
both ESPN and ESPN2 Aresco
said. "This unique arrangement will
provide ESPN the opportunity to
showcase quality ECU football and
will continue our successful
assosciation with ECU athletics
By 1996, ESPN is projecting to
have a viewing market of 65-70 mil-
lion homes, while ESPN2 will teach
at least 30 million homes. ESPN2,
since its inception two years ago,
has been accepted by many cable
systems, is currently available in
over 18 million homes and is grow-
ing at a more rapid pace than did
ESPN when it began.
"We have a uniform signal,
meaning we are broadcast nation-
ally Aresco said. "We have be-
come, in many respects, the na-
tional outlet for college football.
What you have now among the net-
works is a regionalization, with the
exception of the Notre Dame games
on NBC
Over the years, a combined
Thursday-Saturday package of Pi-
rate football will be seen on the two
networks, with approximately a 50-
50 split on each network.
The Thurday night football
games are some of the most
watched each week, because they
are nationally televised. Also, a
Thursday night game kicks off the
weekend, thereby monopolizing
major media college football cover-
age in both print and television,
until Saturday's games take place.
ESPN has major football deals
in place with teams in the ACC,
SEC, Big East. Big Ten and the
WAC conferences. All of the deals
have ESPN and ESPN2 compo-
nents, as ESPN2 will be covering
more football in the coming years
than during the past two seasons.
'In looking at East Carolina
down the road Aresco said, "there
are obviously some very attractive
games - Miami visits, West Virginia
visits, Syracuse, Kentuckythere
are a number of attractive games
that we will look at carefully.
"We feel that to have ECU as
part of that will provide ESPN with
quality football and will also pro-
vide ECU a chance to show the
nation the kind of football it plays
