EAST CAROLINA UNIVERSITY
GREENVILLE. NORTH CAROLINA
University makes move to Doctoral II status
Change expected to
occur in April or May
Jenny Vickeks
staff wiitei
After years of setting and achieving
goals in order to reach doctoral sta-
tus, ECU will soon move from
being a comprehensive university
to a Doctoral II university.
Despite the failed expectation
that the university would be pro-
claimed as a doctoral institution last
January, Dr. Richard Ringeisen,
vice chancellor for academic affairs,
expects this change to occur in
April or May.
"It isn't a big issue that the gen-
eral administration didn't grant us
this in the past Ringeisen said.
"What is really happening is that
we are carefully proceeding with
the university system administra-
tion to make this happen in the
best way
In order to be considered a doc-
toral institution, universities must
average over ten doctoral degrees
per year over a three year period.
The university will achieve this
goal
In April of next month two new
PhD programs will be granted:
Coastal Resource Management
(CRM) and Biophysics. Graduates '
from these programs can be expect-
ed in the year 2000.
"This is an important change for
us Ringeisen said. "We'll be
instituting the first steps of the pro-
gram this spring. Biophysics and

William H. Bodenhamer, Jr presi-
dent of USA Parking, recently gave
ECU $100,000 as a scholarship
endowment The newly-estab-
lished academic scholarships are
for students pursuing a hospitality
management degree or the hospi-
tality management option in the
MBA.
Bodenhamer, an alumnus, for-
mer SGA president, university
football player and university
trustee, has been actively involved
in the university since graduating
in 1974. As SGA president, he
appropriated funds to place blue
lights on all ECU police cars so
they could reach crime scenes
more quickly. He was a political
science major but pursued a career
in the hospitality industry. In 1976,
he started his own company, USA
Parking, which reaps an excess of
$50 million a year in parking, man-
ages over 60,000 parking spaces,
has about 800 employees and is
active in five states and Puerto
Rico. USA Parking headquarters

Ian Robson
senior writer
ECU officials recently unveiled
plans for a new athletic facility to be
built in front of Minges Coliseum.
The 22,000 square foot building
will take the place of the bleachers,
and will enclose the west end of the
stadium.
The facility is estimated to cost
$10.5 million, collected from private
donations, and is expected to be
finished in about two and a half
years. Presendy the final drawing of
the facility is being finished, and
ECU will be able to put it out for
bids to find a contractor.

Backpack bandit caught in Minges
Marks fourth campus
arrest since Feb.
Craig D. Ramey
SENIOR WRITER
The alleged backpack bandit was
arrested for trespassing in the men's
locker room at Minges on March
11, marking his fourth arrest on
campus since early February.
ECU police received a phone
call that a suspicious person was in
the men's locker room at Minges.
En route to Minges, Sgt Joe Horst
stopped Cobb who was crossing
Charles Blvd. Horst identified John
Stanley Cobb and then let him go.
"I knew I could find him again if
I needed to Horst said. "Once I
arrived at Minges, I was given a
description fitting Cobb. Three
days later he was arrested for sec-
ond degree trespassing
Police are
unsure about
the reason
Cobb was
allegedly in
the men's
locker room.
Cobb
made news
last month for
alleged ly
stealing text-
books and
money out of
students'
backpacks
and then dis-
carding the backpack in a nearby
bush.
"Cobb was issued a ban warning
in 1994 for suspicious behavior at
the Messick building Horst said.
Once banned from campus, a
person would be guilty of first or

after that.
"Anybody can be
issued a ban from any-

Jordan said. "A student
could be banned from a
certain building and a non-
student could be banned
from the entire campus
The length of a ban can
be permanent, as in
Cobb's case, or temporary,
as in the case of most stu-
dents who have been
issued bans.
Since being banned in
1994, Cobb has been
charged with attempted felonious
larceny, second degree trespassing
and possession of stolen goods,
totaling up to seven misdemeanors

Habitat for Humanity got by with a
little help from their university
friends last Saturday when the
ROTC and Pi Delta sOYority
teamed up to help an unfortunate
family build a new home.
This marks the second time the
two organizations teamed up to
help in the construction and man-
power needed to build Habitat for
Humanity homes.
Habitat for Humanity is a non-
profit organization that helps put
low-income families into a new
home of their own. These families
often work hand in hand with
Habitat for Humanity volunteers in
the construction of the home.
"We like community service,
and we wanted to give something

of Pi Delta. "It makes me feel real

ROTC. "We get a sense of accom-
plishment, being out there and see-

University volunteers helped
put on a roof, painted and did some
of the finishing work on one home
before beginning another.
Some construction professionals
make up the pool of volunteers,
but most of the workers are inexpe-
rienced and learn how to do the
work the day they show up.
Habitat for Humanity always
has projects under construction and
all volunteers are welcomed. Those

received the gift along with
Chancellor Eakin on Feb. 11 in
Fort Lauderdale at the USA
Parking headquarters.
"We are verphpased to receive
this gift Grove said. "It will make
a wonderful contribution to the
education of many students over
the years and help us attract talent-

One $4,000 scholarship, renew-
able for a second year, will be
awarded to a junior or senior hospi-

will also be awarded.
Both scholarships will be award-
ed annually beginning in 1999.
Bodenhamer also hopes to set

students from this university for
full-time positions at USA Parking.

This may be a wee bit shameless, but let us tell you why TEC is so excited. The Society of
Professional Journalists (SPJ) named us the Best Ail-Around Non-Daily Student
Newspaper in our region; North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, and The District
of Columbia. Aside from an overall award, several individuals won reporting awards. To be
honest, we're a bit of an underdog and would have been proud of an honorable mention.
Now, we move on to the national competition to compete with the top newspapers from the
nation's other nine regions. If we place last then we're still the tenth in the nation, and quite
frankly, that feels good.
There are about 60 students who work at TEC as reporters, section editors,
photographers, designers and advertising reps. Like you, we struggle to-balance school,
work and a social life often with another job. While recognition has temporarily gone to our
heads, we all realize that awards are not the best motivator for working hard. Walking across
campus on a Tuesday or Thursday morning and watching readers pick up their copies, tote
them underneath their arm, or pull them out during class � knowing that the paper they're
reading is our best effort � well, that's a feeling no award can match.
It's our aim to keep you informed. We want to provide a range of coverage, from news
from the latest Board of Trustees meeting to the best band to catch downtown. We're
working not only on covering news, but on asking important questions too. We take our
responsibility to our readers seriously and because of this we're becoming increasingly
aware of the importance of filtering news through our own brains and asking questions
which our readers would ask if they had the time or the chance. 7fcC is proud to be
� supported by self-generated advertising revenue. This places us in a position to more freely
Question campus organizations. We have also ventured into the frontier of the internet by
placing our entire paper on-line at www.tec.ecu.edu. Our webmaster Bobby Tuggle counts
over 3,000 hits a day. Another priority at TEC is to provide readers with a more modern
design, including charts and graphics which provide information at a glance. We are also
.striving to offer readers in-depth coverage of issues which the editorial board feels are
important to the campus community. The Focus inserts � a combined effort between
Shearlean Duke's Basic Reporting Classes and TEC� which provide a series of articles on
a related topic, won a third place in-depth reporting award. If there's a subject you would
like to see explored on our pages call us and let us know.
Our goals are lofty, but we want our readers to know what we're striving for so they can
point.it out to us should we fall short. Send us your letters to the editor, if there's something
on your mind. We want to hear from you. We know our readers lead fascinating lives and if
something's interesting to you it's probably interesting to someone else. If you have a story
idea or think you would be an asset to our staff call us at 328-6366.
We want our readers to look on TECs awards as another aspect of ECU we can all be
proud of.

Violence mars our nation
As I've had time to let it sink
in, I have begun to wonder
how far must we, as a
society, let violence go before
we decide to check our
governing system.
My father used to own a gun. It was
a .45 caliber hand gun, a Spanish
make. It.possessed a certain aura
around our home. We (my brothers
and I) were told about it, warned of
its power. We were told never to
handle it, to stay away from it, yet it
stayed there in our home, where we
lived, like a volatile relative who'd
decided to move in with us without
our full consent.
As far as I can remember, my
father never once used it, not even
in practice. It just sat there in my
mom and dad's bedroom closet
pumping out this aura of power and
death and fear. Until I came to
college, I'd never come into contact
with another gun. And during the
last six years I've only seen two.
For the longest time, I abhorred
the idea of owning a gun. I didn't
want to possess anything capable of
such efficient destruction. What
the hell do I need with something
suited for killing another person �
something that's purpose is to cause
injury? And I've had heated
arguments with one of my brothers
on the issue.
- Last week, when I watched the
news of the 11- and 13-year-old
Arkansas boys who ambushed their
classmates and teachers, I was filled
with anger. My thoughts were that
they should fry � that no matter
whether 11 or 50, terrorism is
terrorism. And terrorism must not
be accepted on any level in
America.
As I've had time to let it sink in,
I have begun to wonder how far
must we, as a society, let violence
go before we decide to check our
governing system. Sure, violence
has been always been a part of
humanity. The Romans used to
throw Christians into an arena filled
with hungry lions for fun. We've
come a long way in 2,000 years,
right?
So what is the next step?
Because just as sure as violence has
been a pan of humanity, so too has
change. How far must terrorism be
allowed to spread before we make
some change in the measure of
responsibility and freedom
accorded to us as citizens? And
doesn't it make you frightfully wary
when talk turns to changing
freedom and responsibility? K
ought to.
Perhaps, this more - than
anything else has been what has
stymied any serious change in gun
control. Because when you start
talking about changing the measure
of freedom accorded each and
every citizen, you are talking about
changing what it is to be an
American�what it is to be human.
But the fact of the matter is
terrorism within the United States
has been on the rise in recent
decades. Whether violence has
gotten out of hand is certainly
arguable. But when seemingly
normal kids go to ambushing and
slaughtering teachers and
classmates for no motive other than
"fun it's time to think long and
hard about some son of positive
change.
Working toward a common good
is an arduous task when the roads
are not certain. And no one is
promising an end to violence. It
would be pretentious to think that
such an end is within human
capabilities. But if owning a gun (oi
reasons of fear or fun become;
central motives to upholding a;
constitutional right, then it may-
very well be time to think at
changing the system within which
that constitution works.

Don't be apathetic; register, vote
SGA encourages voters to act
Several members of the student
government association would like
to ask all the students of the
university to vote for their student
body representatives next
Wednesday, April 8.
We arc currently trying to get as
many people as possible to show
their support for the university by
becoming active in this once-a-year
event. We have acknowledged your
concerns about knowing the
candidates before actual voting.
Therefore, we arc going to provide
information on every candidate in
this year's election. Between the
dates of Friday, April 3 and
Tuesday, April 7, members of the
SGA will be at the entrance of the
Wright Place with information on
every candidate. Information such
as previous leadership, previous
SGA involvement and goals for the
following year will be provided.
Others are concerned about not
knowing the candidates on a
' personal level. Some may say, "I've
never met these people, so why
should I vote for them?" We feel no
matter who you decide to vote for,
East Carolina University, and
ultimately every student at the
university can benefit from a
better-than-avcrage turnout. By
voting we are giving the university
an image of active, energetic
student involvement. We have the
ability to make our own education
more valuable by panicipating in
this event. In essence, by voting for
a candidate, you are voting for
yourself. One minute of your time
could actually increase your
chances of getting a job with East
Carolina University on your
resume. Will your future employer
think you attended a university full
of active students?
The SGA has worked hard this
year to meet student concerns. We
are more than glad to give you the
information so you can better
choose for whom to vote. Hopefully
the students of the university can
meet us halfway and show us your
approval. Remember, when you
vote Wednesday, April 8, you are
actually voting for yourself. Thanks
from the Student Government
Association. Go Pirates!

Westmoreland an asset to university
I am choosing this forum to let the
East Carolina community be made
even more fully aware of how
fortunate it is to have a man of the
caliber of Dr. Jim Westmoreland in
charge of the Career Placement
office.
In January I was given the
opportunity to interview with
Parke-D vis Pharmaceuticals, a
division of Warner-Lambert, for a
position to sell anti-epileptic
medications throughout Eastern
North Carolina.
I called Jim to see if he could

to happen. The session was the
difference in my ability to go in

Some five weeks later, I flew to
Atlanta, met the Southeast area

minutes, accepted this much
coveted position.
My family and I will remain

Numerous ideas popped into my
head: campaign finance reform, the
always entertaining Greenville City

blood thirsty Kenneth Stan, or the
Spin Team that works for the
Clinton White House. Then I
thought, why bother?
Nobody seems to care anymore.

gave money to, attended a rally or
actually gave a second thought
about any political commercial you
have seen on television.
The primaries arc coming up
soon. Do you know anything about
who is running? Or do you even
plan to get oft your fat butt and
vote?
Not knowing anything about the
politicians running for office is no
excuse. The Internet is full of
information about those running for
higher office. If you arc unsure
about any candidate call the person
up and ask a few questions. �
You do not have to be a political
know it all. A firm grasp of the
obvious would be helpful.
People have numerous opinions
about every political issue, taxes,
abortion, welfare, the military
industrial complex, just to name a
few. Often these opinions are very
strong. Yet, for all those people
who have opinions, tew actually
vote.
The people with the loudest
opinions often do not vote.
Rush Limbaugh ranks Ronald
Reagan as one of the greatest
?residents, yet never voted for him.
n fact he did not even register to
vote until Reagan was in his second
term. Is this you, some ignorant,
hot-aired fool, who would rather
dispense opinions than actually
vote?
Voting is not that hard. You
register, all two minutes it takes!
you go to your respective place td
vote, go in a litde booth and vote;
When I voted last year the whole
voting process took about fifteen
minutes. '
Fifteen minutes � are you that
lazy? Are you so busy you can't
spare the time to vote? Maybe you
feel that voting onjy encourages
the politicians. Perhaps the!
Democrat and Republican panics;
do not represent your particular
needs. Then vote for someone
from another party.
Damn, people. Are you so;
moronic that politics is out of you�

even grasp basic college algebra, t
guess so. I challenge you � I dare;
you � register to vote and vote in�
both the primary and general"
elections.
I will darn near guarantee that
less than 20 percent of the ECU

Keep retorts inside classroom
Stacey Cochran's recent opinion
left me flabbergasted. I am
appalled at his lack of
professionalism by attacking his
students' papers via The East
Carolinian
His retorts were ones that should
remain within the classroom and
not in the public eye. Instead of
motivating his students, he has
humiliated them. I believe Mr.
Cochran should apologize to his
students and realize the effects of
his carelessness.

Flor fast relief from the nagging ache of taxes, we
recommend TIAA-CREF SRAs. SRAs are tax-
deferred annuities that can help you build additional
assets �money that can make the difference between
living and living i.r in retirement.
Contributions to SRAs are conveniently deducted
from your salary on a pretax basis. The result? More
money invested. Fewer taxes now. And since investment
earnings are tax deferred until you receive them as
income, the money you don't send to Washington tan
work even harder for you.
What else do SRAs offer? A full range of investment

Initially, you might think you're
dealing with a novelty band when
you pick up Gangstabilly; the
debut album from Athens,
Georgia's Drive-By Truckers. First,
the band name inspires images of
sweaty, homicidal 18-wheeler com-
mandos. Second, there's
Gangstadilfy. You think, "OK, Ice-T

Next, you take a look at the song

You think you're dealing with a Jeff

bastard mutation.
Then, you hear record crackle
(even on the CD) and the music
starts. And you realize you were
dead wrong.
Sure, they're irreverent, but
that's a point of pride for many
Athens bands (BBQ Killers, Jack-
O-Nuts, etc.). But the Drive-By
Truckers will just as often fill your
gut with the giggles as they will
with lonesome teardrops.
Gangstabilly, to borrow a phrase
from Sailor Ripley in David
Lynch's Wild at Heart, is "hotter

Classes prepare women for
attackers
M I C C A H S M I T II
SEMOI WRITER
If you're a woman, you've been hearing the same
old schpiel ever since your freshman yean keep to
well-lit areas, never walk alone at night, call for a
police escort, run away from danger and, if all else
fails, scream bloody murder.
This sensible advice usually works to keep
women safe, but you can't always depend on it, and
don't ever discount the possibility of an attack.
So what happens when the safeguards of society
fall away and leave you exposed to a very real phys-
ical threat from an attacker? Do you know how to
actually defend yourself when it counts?
Here's the scene: you're walking home late at
night, just minding your own business, when sud-
denly you feel a hand clamp down on your shoul-
der.
You gasp and try to pull away, but some creep's
got you by the arm and it's pretty obvious by now
he wants more from you than the time of day.
What's the best thing to do in a situation like this?
According to Mitch Ammons, the suntanned
and confident instructor of Wing Chun at the
Greenville Wing Chun School, you should already
Ass
"have some kind of preparedness
This includes sensitivity to changes in your
environment that may indicate a threat. Alertness
can give you the advantage in flight-or-fight situa-
tions.
"If you can, avoid the situation advised
Ammons. But if it's already too late for that, them's
nothing else to do but make your attacker sorry he
touched'you.
Time is short in a combative situation, so choose
a counterattack and follow through. "You can either
grab and twist the groin or you can go for the eyes
and gouge he said.
The use of hands to exploit an opponent's pres-
sure points and weaker physical features is a
premise of Wing Chun, a Kung Fu technique
developed three centuries ago by a Chinese
woman.
Ammons claims that Wing Chun is "the ulti-
mate form of self-defense" because it enables
smaller people to use a larger opponent's weight
against them.
Because street fighting often occurs in cramped
conditions and with minimal time to react, low,
short kicks and sharp jabs are more useful to Wing
Chun students than are the momentum-powered
high kicks and chops used in other martial arts.
Students learn to maximize their own reflexes
�and strengths, even if they are short or small. They
condition their hands and fingers to become

Every time I turn around the nation
is in the midst of celebrating some
different variety of Awareness
Week or Pride Month.
Many socially conscious stu-
dents around campus affix colored
ribbons to their clothing to show
their support andor
awareness of various
groups andor conditions.
Global citizen though
I may be, I am woefully
unable to keep up with
the different ribbon color
I'm supposed to be sport-
ing during a given month.
I feel inadequate and
out-of-step when I can't
remember whether a
green ribbon indicates
Earth Consciousness or
Kermit the Frog Pride.
The time to create my
own National Awareness Week has
come. It's time to rip off those out-
fit-killing ribbons and load up on

Of course, I realize it's quite
possible you've all forgotten how to
be Material Girls and Pet Shop

show your support, please. I won't
even ask for donations. Let's just
take a breather from all this '90s

Students who remember last year's
intertribal powwow at the bottom
of College Hill were a bit disap-
pointed at the lack of school
enthusiasm and participation at
this year's powwow, which began
at noon on Saturday.
A large chunk of ECU's Native
American population, as well as
others from around the state, gath-
ered to celebrate their heritage
with dance, drum and chants, but
not many others showed up.
"They should have advertised
more commented Amy Paradise,
a non-Native American student
who also attended last year's pow-
wow.
"What happened to the food?"
sophomore Becky Charney want-
ed to know.
The Stony Creek drummers,
who chanted and sang as well,
accompanied traditional dancing in
which all Native American stu-
dents were invited to participate.
Silverhawk, who is of the
Cherokee bloodline, was one of
two vendors at Saturday's pow-
wow. He attends several of these
each year, selling leather hides,
vests and pipes.
Bill Freeman, who is affiliated
with the Blackfoot tribe, makes
and sells beaded jewelry, some of
which is amazingly intricate. "I do
it for enjoyment more than any-
thing else he said.

the spectacle, dancers arrayed

SENIOR WRITE
Thank God' it's over. Every year
around this time. I breathe a sigh of
relief. The season has passed once
again, and I can come out of my
hole to breathe freely. Aahh.
What? No, I'm not talking about
winter. I love winter! I love a gqod,
bracing cold wind and bundling up
under piles of warm clothing.
Winter is cool!
No, the season I'm talking about
is awards season. From New Year's
to Easter, the entertainment indus-
try plagues the populace anew with
award show after award show. The
Emmys, the Grammys, the Golden
Globes, the People's bloody Choice
Awards And, of course, the
grandaddy of them all, the most
hyped, most bloated, most disgust-
ing spectacle in the lot, the Oscars.
I hate them all.
This might seem an odd senti-
ment from someone who stays as
immersed in the media as I do. I
love movies, music, television, the
whole blasted entertainment
industry. I make money writing
about it, and I enjoy it. But I'm no
entertainment hack. I know crap
when I see it, and it offends me. I
am more than willing to call a spade
a spade, eager, in fact, to point out
that the emperor has no cjothes.
And, buddy, that fat-ass enter-
tainment overlord is never more
naked than during award season.
It's at award time, you see, that
the hypocrisy of the business is at
its most blatant. Theoretically,
these shows arc supposed to recog-
nize the best things done in the
preceding year. But, more often
than not, it's really all about who
made the most money.
The habit is at its worst in tire
music industry. Nobody's going to
win a Grammy unless their record
label spent a I6t of money hyping
them. And the only people who get
a lot of hype-money are the people
doing the kind of music that the
record industry thinks will sell that
year.
Once every fifteen years, some-
body breaks through on talent
alone; but that's rare, and it usually
signals a sea-change in the public's
listening tastes. The last act to do
that was Nirvana back in '92, "the
year alternative broke
And what have we gotten since
then? Prepackaged alterna-goo.
Bands shaped by their labels to
sound as much like each other as
possible. The same sound-alike-
philosophy crap,we had back in the
late-80s era of the hair bands,
except without all the androgynous
macho posturing and excessive
cleavage. In other words, Bush.
Thank you, Grammy awards.
The other industries really
aren't any better. Emmys go to
shows with high ratings, which is
why ER and NYPD Blue continual-
ly get Best Drama while shows like
Homicide or Law & Order languish in
obscurity.
And it's why a melodrama like
Titanic wins Best Picture.
Everybody knew the big boat was a
lock at this year's Oscars, and why?
Because it was a cinematic master-
piece? Well, no. Titanic is a good
movie, but that's about it, alright? It
tells a nice love story and engages
its audience well. I liked it a lot.
But would it have won Best
Picture if it hadn't also been so
wildly successful? Of course not. If
it had been the colossal bomb that
everyone expected it to be, it
wouldn't have even gotten a nomi-
nation. We'd be laughing about it
like we are about The Postman. You
know, that Kevin Costner thing
about the post-apocalyptic mail-
man? No? Oh yeah, it was a bomb;
nobody remembers bombs.
1-ah! Even talking about award
shows leaves a bad taste in my
mouth. And I haven't even gotten
to the shows themselves. The
awful musical numbers. The
pathetic jokes the presenters strain
to read off cue cards. The inter-
minable acceptance speeches. The
wretched excess of the diamond-
draped starlets and stretch limos,
enough to make me want to bring
back the guillotine, just for one
night.
And the running time. They can
never finish any of these things on
time, even though they give away
the "unimportant" awards before
they go on the air. Maybe they
could cut out oiie of those crappy
vaudeville numbers, or one of the
ten million other annoyances of the
evening. Or maybe they could just
stop having the show at all, and
announce the winner via press con-
ference. At least then they wouldn't
be flaunting tlie emperor's nudity
quite so boldly.
But that's okay. It's over now.
They're done for another year.
Award season is finished.
Of course, now there's pollen
season to contend with, but that's
okay. I can kick back in the sun
with my box of snot rags and enjoy
myself again. Aaaahhhh

On March 13, the ECU Board of

Dooley's salary was increased

from $78,150 to $80,495 and

from $66,462 to $68,456. The
difference between the two
coaches' salaries is just over
$12,000.

VanSant declined to comment
on the differences between

the same for men's and women's

salaries of $90,000. However,
men's head coach Sherman

Bob Holmes brought his show to
Williams Arena on Wednesday,
March 25 to play several teams
comprised of ECU students.
Holmes travels around the
country on his "Bob vs. The
World" tour, challenging various
professional and collegiate teams.
Holmes has beaten teams from
the Toronto Blue Jays, Pittsburgh
Steelers, Washington Redskins
and even a team from the
Baltimore Orioles led by Cal
Ripken. Since beginning in 1986,
Holmes has won over 10,200
games, while losing only 174.
Over 1.5 million people have
watched him play.
"I beat the odds on the court to
illustrate beating the odds in life
Holmes said.
On Wednesday he did just
that, winning two out of three
one-set games.
In the first game, with ESPN's
Jock Jams blaring from the
loudspeakers, Holmes defeated a
team from the Student Athlete
Advisory Council, 22-15.
Using a variety of serving
styles, Bob jumped out to an 11-0
lead. He then extended the game

CAA record improved
to 3-1 with victory

STAFF WRITER
The Pirates held confidence after
their 5-2 victory over the
Seahawks from UNC Wilmington
last Wednesday. ECU's men's
tennis team looked to improve
their record to 3-0 in conference
play as they prepared to take on
the Eagles of American
University at a neutral site in
Raleigh on Friday.
Nevertheless, the Pirates
dropped their first CAA match of
the season, 6-0. The match was
set for 2 p.m but the Pirates were
late to hit the court, and began at
2:30 p.m. with a game penalty in
all singles and- doubles games.
"The van broke down and when
we finally got to the courts, we
had no time to warm-up and wc
got the penalty, too assistant
Coach Matt Rowe said.
Junior Kenny Kirby, playing at
No. 3 singles, was the only Pirate
player to take his match into three
sets. He fell to Nils Broering, 4-6,
6-2, 5-7.
The team returned to
Greenville to host another CAA
match on Saturday. They
defeated the Dukes of James
Madison University. The Pirates
" beat the odds

One-man volleyball phenomenon
on a 15-0 run. Bob even let the
entire team play at one time. He
then scored the next eleven
points in a row to secure the
victory.
Next, Bob took on the ECU
women's club volleyball team.
Holmes took the second game a
little more seriously and won
easily 15-8.
third games, Bob addressed the
crowd on the dangers of drug and
alcohol abuse. He encouraged the
crowd to stay away from drugs
and premarital sex.
"Life is more important to me
than any volleyball game
Holmes said.
"I want to help kids make the
right choices in life
Former ECU volleyball player
Erin Lenker attended the games
and was impressed by Bob's
success.
"Although some of his
techniques were questionable, his
outstanding ball control and
unique serves allow him to
compete Lenker said. "He can
make solid contact and hit the ball
hard no matter what position he is
in on the court
Holmes will be 42 years old on
May 1, but doesn't plan on halting
his court time anytime soon.

three singles points to clinch the
match, 4-3.
"It wasn't really difficult to
motivate them for this match
today. They were all still upset
from yesterday's trip to Raleigh
Rowe said. "I was really satisfied
with the doubles performance
today. They played with a lot of
heart and we were
unlucky not to win all
three doubles
The double team of
Brett Rowley and Roope
Kalajo won at the No. 1
slot, 8-3. At the No. 2
spot, Kirby and Nils
Alomar pulled out a
close one, winning 9-8.
ECU's third doubles
team of Derek Slate and
Oliver Thalen missed
some very close shots
toward the end of the
match and lost in the
tiebreaker for a 8-9 final
result.
According to Thalen,
who captured his first
singles victory of his
collegiate career on
Wednesday against the
Wilmington Seahawks,
they played very well
but got unlucky in the
tiebreaker.
"My ankle isn't
bothering me any more

improve my game in the
upcoming matches

Intramural indoor soccer season set for kick off
BASEBALL
REMINDER!
The ECU baseball team has recently added a
game to it's schedule. The Pirates will play
N.C. State on Wednesday, April 1 at Fleming
Stadium in Wilson. Game time is set for 7:30
p.m. and will be sponsored by the Wilson
Elks Club.
t
The 1998 intramural indoor
soccer season will gee underway
with a captain's registration
meeting today at 5 p.m. in
Mendenhall Student Center,
Room 244. Any individuals
interested in registering a team
should plan on attending this
meeting.
Unaffiliated players who are
seeking to join a team should also
attend. Six players are needed to
form a team and leagues will be
offered on a variety of playing
dates and times. Several divisions
of skill are available in order to
accommodate the diverse
interests of all participants.
Divisions offered wilt include
Fraternity Gold and Purple,
Men's Independent Gold and
Purple, Residence Hall, Sorority
and Women's Independent Gold
leagues are designed for
participants who have experience
i
in competitive play and wish to
participate at a higher level of
skill, while Purple leagues arc
more recreational in nature.
All teams will play a minimum
of two games in pool play prior to
advancing to a single elimination
tournament within each division
and all-campus finals. Regular
season play will begin on Monday,
April 6 and all games will be held
in Christenbury Gymnasium.
The rules of the National
Federation of State High School
Associations will be in effect with
indoor soccer modifications.
The game of indoor soccer is a
fast-paced, action-oriented game
with extremely quick transitions
from offense to defense. The
element of using the walls to play
the ball, defend the goal and pass
the ball add an extra dimension of
skill and strategy to the game. In
1997, 55 teams battled for
divisional and all-campus titles in
an effort to wear the prized
"Intramural Champion" t-shirt.
The fall outdoor season
provided some interesting
subplots leading to the indoor
season. For the first time in
several years, Christy Hamilton
and The Krush faced a stiff
challenge in the women's division
as Luscious took them to the wire
before falling. However, Heather
Bennett and Rebecca
Chlebanowski return for Luscious
in an attempt to wrest the crown
away.
Meanwhile, the Cheese Nips
are considered a dark horse in the
tide chase despite being the only
team with game programs,
uniforms, a pep squad and season
ticket holders. In the men's
independent, Tappa Kegs once
again established their dominance
during the outdoor season as Chris
$
Libert lurked in goal and Pasha
Kamalifard, Steve Parker and
Kevin Parrish provided the
offense.
Among the sororities. Alpha Xi
Delta will attempt to rebound
from their stunning defeat in
basketball as Sara Hudgins is
expected to anchor the defense
and Alicia Marhlo to provide the
scoring. They will be opposed by
Alpha Omicron Pi, who will be
lead by speedy Michelle "Chalk"
Gottschalk and Tina Justice.
Sigma Phi Epsilon and Lambda
Chi Alpha met in both the
Fraternity Gold and Purple finals
and should have strong indoor
teams as well. For further
information, please contact Brian
Weingartz of Recreational
Services at 328-6387 or visit the

Leonard comes from five
back to win Players
Championship
PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla.
(AP) � Put that rivalry between
Tiger Woods and Ernie Els on
hold. Dallas native Justin Leonard
proved once again that when the
stakes are high and the conditions
are tough, he can be as good as
anyone.
One week after Els got the
best of Woods at Bay Hill in a
battle between young major
winners, Leonard won The
Players Championship on Sunday
with a final round that stirred
memories of his victory at the
Britnh Open.
It Was at Royal Troon where
Leimafa became the third player
in XfiisN2j)s t0 win a major
championship in 1997, joining
WooSi (Masters) and Els (U.S.
Open)7
And it) was there that Leonard
rej�k on a hot putter to come
fron tWe strokes behind to win on
the finikdav.
.Jrfidught a little bit about it
Leonard,25, said of the British
Open. J0n a very difficult golf
coursesuch as this, three or four or
five shifts is not safe
i he proved Sunday on a
Stadiumf Course that took its toll
.on so niiny others, the leaders are
never safe whenever Leonard is
lurkm
three strokes behind when
impression University Architect
Bruce Flye said. "This isn't your
ordinary weight room; it doubles
the square feet of the first floor of
the Recreation Center
Also in the artist's rendition of
the future Dowdy-Ficklen,
another upper deck is shown on
the south side of the stadium.
"That addition is well down
the road, maybe ten years Flye
said. "It's not tied to the other
projects; the facility will come
first
However, ECU officials might
be forgetting that they still have to
finish the north end upper deck
before they start "another $10
million-plus campaign.
With all of these new plans .
people might be getting a little I
too overzealous. Last season it did
not even look like the stadium
m
he made
the turn,
Leonard
o n e -
putted the first six greens on the
back nine to win going away. He
got some help from Len Mattiace,
who put two in the water on the
island-green at No. 17 for a
quintuple-bogey 8.
Leonard closed with a 67 to
finish at 10-under 278 and a two-
stroke victory over Tom Lehman
and Glen Day. He won the richest
prize on the PGA Tour, $720,000
from a purse of $4 million.
Woods closed with a 72 and
tied for 35th, while John Daly had
a 69 and was tied for 16th.
"I've been in this position a
couple of times and been able to
come out and play well Leonard
said. "Anytime I think you have
experience in doing something,
you're going to try to draw upon
that experience
Leonard was five strokes back
at the Kemper Open, where he
closed with a 67 and won when
Mark Wiebe three-putted the last
two greens. And he was five
strokes back of Jesper Parnevik at
the British Open, where he closed
with a 65.
In both cases, Leonard needed
a little help from those in front.
But when the tournament was on
the line, Leonard was at his best.
needed an upper deck,
considering that the main stands
were rarely filled and the
bleachers sat lonely at the ends of
the stadium, the only exception
being the South Carolina
Gamecocks game.
With many plans underway for
both the near and extended
future, the athletic facilities on
Pirate grounds are on their way to
becoming among the best in the
state of North Carolina.
The facility will contain a
weight room on the first floor
and an indoor 40-yard
t&ttk. The second'floor will
be a banquet hull that
accommodates 500 people.
Fast Facts: The New Athletic Facility
Location: Iri front of Minges coliseum over looking the football field.
fhaf s In Jt 1st floor will be a workout facility. 2nd floor will be a 600 person
capacity banquet hall
Purpose: A new strength and conditioning facility is needed, and it will impress
high school recruits.
Estimated completion duration: About two and a ha years.

With Arizona
Diamondbacks, Phoenix
arrives as a big-league
city
PHOENIX (AP) �Melissa
Housmyer stood in the sprawling
brick-lined plaza outside Bank
One Ballpark, gazing upward and
marveling at the sparkling new
home of baseball's fledgling
Arizona Diamondbacks.
"It's like the Luxor (hotel-
casino) opening in Las Vegas �
it's just awesome, so cool said
Housmyer, who grew up here
then lived out of state for 16 years
before moving back four years
ago. "It's just overwhelming for us
cowboys and cowgirls in
Phoenix
For more than five decades,
major league teams have come to
Phoenix to train in the warm
desert sunshine, only to depart for
their home cities when April 1
rolled around. Baseball fans here
had to be content to spend sweaty
summer nights with the Phoenix
Firebirds, the San Francisco
Giants' Triple-A farm club �
decent baseball, but not the
majors.
Come Tuesday night, however.
Phoenix officially joins the big
leagues when the Diamondbacks
take the field against the Colorado
Rockies in their season opener
before 50,000 fans in Bank One
Ballpark, a $354 million wonder
rising out of a ragged downtown
warehouse district.
The Phoenix Suns put this city
on the sports map when they
arrived as an NBA expansion club
30 years ago. Phoenix also has
professional hockey and football,
plus Arizona State athletics.
But cab driver Pete Thomas
subscribes to the theory that no
matter how many sports teams a
city has, it isn't complex without
a major-league baseball club.
"Baseball is America's original
game, and if you don't have major-
league baseball, you can't be
classified as a major-league city
said Thomas, gazing out at the
emerald outfield grass from the
left-field bleachers during a
stadium open house last week.
"But we're in the bigs now
Phoenix was awarded an
expansion franchise in 1995 due
to the behind-the-sceneswork of
Jerry Colangelo, the city's most
powerful business figure and
president of the Phoenix Suns.
He holds the title .of managing
general partner of the
Diamondbacks.
Choosing a nickname for the
team (coiled diamondback
rattlesnakes have struck fear in
more than a few unsuspecting
residents of the Sonoran desert)
and uniform colors (purple,
turquoise, copper and black) was
far easier than getting a stadium
built.
Resentment still lingers over
the Maricopa County Board of
Supervisors' approval of a quarter-
cent sales tax that raised $238
million for the stadium�without
a public vote. Polls had shown 2-
to-1 opposition to the tax increase.
Basketball players took
innocence with them
SAN ANTONIO (AP)
never learn. Every
generation of college
basketball manages
They
to produce a new bunch of kids
who figure they can beat the
system, shave some points here
and there, make a few bucks and
get away with it.
Last week, it was
Northwestern. Before that,
Arizona State. Tulane dropped its
program for a while over a betting
scandal, and that was after a point-
shaving case at Boston College.
They're junior wise guys and
they need a lesson in history, the
kind of history that is like a punch
to the stomach. They need to
know they didn't invent this stuff,
that it has all happened before.
They need to hear about CCNY.
Nearly half a century' has
passed since that bunch of New
York City kids swept the NCAA
and NIT championships and,
while they were at it, stole the
game of its innocence.
These were the City College
fixers, seven scared kids who
shaved points and shook the
foundation of their game. They
grew up to become productive
members of society, one a dentist,
another a coach, others successful
in business and industry. But with
the mistakes of youth, they
stained the sport they loved.
HBO Sports has produced a
riveting documentary on the
fixers, airing at a time when the
college game is crowning a new
national champion. It is a chilling
peek behind the scenes of how a
bunch of college kids got
suckered by gamblers.
The attraction of the Final
Four is the innocence of ell
event�four college tea
chasing a championship,
played out against a glo
landscape, a heritage of UCl
dynasty, longshot champions '
Texas Western in 1966, No

and emotional games that don
this show from start to finish.

Monday night for the conclusk
of the chase. And in the glare
the 63rd and final game of
tournament, college basketb
will try to forget the other :
stuff that started with the Cii
College fixers.
These were ordinary kids i

When You're in
Need - How to
Proceed
Have you ever had that "deer in the headlights" look
because you didn't know what to do or where to go?
I know I have. And, my gosh, what would I do if a
crisis ever occurred? Like what if something drastic
happened to someone in my family or there was an
emergency? There are many things that could have
you asking that question�WHO DO I TURN TO?!
The answer is the Dean of Students Office. Dr.
Speier and his crew do much more than oversee the
judicial process on campus. This office provides
assistance and referrals to students with personal
crises. The Dean of Students Office works in
collaboration with Division of Student Life
Departments and University Police Services.
Students or their families may come by the office in
Whichard or call 328-6824 to request help.
The Dean of Students Office can help in the following
ways: medical and emotional needs; withdrawal from
school; accommodations for temporary andor
permanent disabilities; granting class excuses during
time of a crisis; notifying residence hall staff or a
professor in case of an emergency and providing
crisis interventiondisciplinary response for victims
and alleged offenders for sexual abuseassault
victims. In fact, the office offers the student victim an
advocate to help the student understand, evaluate and
choose the services available.
You know, it's great that we have this type of service
on our "purple and gold" campus. At least now I
know that in an emergency situation I'll know to call
the Dean of Students Office.
What's Up
With
Creatine?
The pressure to look good on the beach and to
perform well in athletic competition has led to a number of over-the-counter drugs and supplements in the past
few years (just look at Redux and Phen-Phen). Creatine has become the latest fad in an effort to "pump you
up
It's in the headlines, in the stores, and in our athletes. What is it? Is it safe? It is legal? Creatine is a
relatively new supplement, usually taken orally, only on the market since 1992. With a normal diet, red meat is
ingested and as it is broken down, is assembled into creatine by the liver and kidneys. This is then used to help
the muscles manufacture ATP, the body's primary source of energy. In theory, the more ATP, the more work the
body can do. To athletes and bodybuilders, this means the better the body can perform. Fueled by creatine,
muscles absorb more water, and become bigger, fuller, and rounder. For this reason, many are choosing to
increase their daily intake of creatine with oral supplements (in powder, capsule or candy form) rather then rely
on dietary sources. In reality, because of the relatively new availability, the long-term effects of creatine use
are, as of yet, unknown. Often, users complain of dehydration, nausea, diarrhea, muscle crampsspasms, pulls,
and strains. Some users have even noted a decrease in performance, and it is important to note that creatine has
not been found to increase endurance.
Creatine is not regulated by the NCAA, US Olympic Committee, or professional leagues. An estimated 85
of physicians do not recommend using supplements, stating that normal dietary intake is adequate and
overdoses could possibly be toxic. If creatine is part of your daily regimen, you may consider consulting your
family doctor or personal trainer to help you make an informed choice about its safety. Other information on
creatine is also available in 210 Whichard at the Office of Health Promotion and Well-Being (328-6793).
There is still nothing that can take the place of a balanced diet and regular exercise. Fad supplements and diet
drugs are one type of March Madness you can avoid.
Joe Student Gets His Day
In Court
How do I get myself into these things? One minute, I'm studying
quantum physics and the next, I'm leaning up at the bar ordering
an innocent study-break cocktail. Just one drink - no biggie. And
then, it happened. She (my dream girl) smiled at me. You know
the smile, the one that says, "hey, you actually might have a
shot So, I stayed longer than planned. By 2:00 a.m. I had not
only lost track of time, I had lost my dream girl. Anyway, I figure
the night's a study waste, so I might as well find this girl. Probably
not the best idea, but it sure seemed like the thing to do at the time. I
headed to Greene Hall, thinking, "hey, a lot of girls live there How
hard could it be to find her (or someone like her)? All I knew, was
that when I showed her my brand new tattoo - the one that I got
from a biker named Luger and his girlfriend Dixie while on spring
break (the memories were coming back) - she would be mine.
Naturally I had to take off all my clothes so that she could get a good
view of the tattoo. Funny how RAs react to a naked man walking the
halls of an all-female residence hall shouting "hey, girl from the Elbo,
it's me Go figure.
So, I'm standing there in the parking lot with an ECU cop, my clothes in a wad, my very bad fake ID, facing a bunch of charges,
and, literally, caught with my pants down. I had my ticket punched for a trip through the ECU Judicial System. I had no idea
what to expect. First, I had a warm chat with the Associate Dean who explained the charges: obscene and disorderly conduct,
public intoxication, furnishing false information blah, blah, blah. She also outlined possible punishment - three weeks of
community service. Well, I think I know a thing or two about lawyering, so I chose to take my case to the Judicial Board for a
hearing.
Now, I've seen plenty of "L.A. Law" and I saw "My Cousin Vinnie" three times .1 can per se, object to, your honor, rest my
case .with the best of them. That Judicial Board didn't have a chance against the likes of me. They offered me a student defense
counsel and the option of calling on character witnesses, but who needs all that? I was going to enter a plea of temporary insanity
brought on by quantum physics and March Madness. Geez! Was that a bad move. With my defense down the drain, the Judicial
Board dropped three weeks of community service on me.
If you see me on campus pulling weeds on Wright Circle, let me be a reminder that if you get caught doing something wrong, take
advantage of the legal services that are there for you. The students really know their stuff and the system works a lot better than
that other judicial system we hear so much about. Plus, you get a chance to really know the Dean.
Oh yeah, and when you see me, just ask, and I'll show you my tattoo.
