Student falls victim
to armed robbery
Police have no firm
leads on suspects
Holly Harris
NEWS EDITOR
A Garret Hall resident was robbed
at gunpoint in the parking lot west
of Aycock Hall last Thursday night.
According to a police report, two
young white males in a teal car
stopped 18-year-old Shaun Foran
around 9:15 p.m. under the pre-
tense that they needed directions.
Capt. Frank Knight of the ECU
police department said that after
Foran provided the directions and
began to walk away, the men called
him back to the car, and the passen-
ger brandished a 9 mm handgun
and demanded F'oran's watch.
After Foran gave the perpetrator
his watch, the men backed out of
the parking lot and drove away.
Though Foran reported the inci-
dent to campus police, the Highway
Patrol, local authorities have been
notified to be on the look out for the
car and the two men. Knight said
there were no witnesses other than
the victim and no progress has been
made in the case.
Foran was not available for com-
ment.
"At this time we don't have any
firm leads on the suspects or the
suspects' car Knight said. "We
have an investigator on the case
According to Knight, this is the
only armed robbery that has
occurred on campus in about two
years.
"We don't think there is any big
concern, but everyone should be
careful Knight said. "If anyone
drives up to you, do not approach
the vehicle. The safest thing would
be to go directly into a dormitory
The police department has
increased the number of officers cir-
culating on foot and bike patrols for
the College Hill and the residence
hall area of west side of campus.
Three stabbed at

A man was arrested early Sunday
morning for stabbing three bounc-
ers in a local night club.
According to a police report,
William Donald Poland Jr 24, was
arrested for three felony counts of
assault with a deadly weapon with
intent to kill inflicting serious
injury. The incident happened in
Pantana Bob's night club, located
on Cotanche Street, a downtown
night spot frequented by ECU stu-
dents.
A news release said that after
Poland was removed from the club
for disruptive behavior, his friends
began fighting with the bouncers.
Poland went back inside the club,
where the bouncers again grabbed
him. He then stabbed the victims
with a folding blade knife.
According to Ja.son Blackman, a
sophomore who was at the club that
night, it was obvious that something
was going on, but the crowd pre-
vented him from seeing anything.
"A fight broke out, but that's not
uncommon Blackman said. "The
next thing I knew people were
talking about the bouncers getting
stabbed
A representative from Pantana
Bob's would not comment on the
incident.
"I didn't get a look at any
bouncers, but I saw a lot of blood
on the sidewalk outside
Blackman said.
The police report also said that
Poland had used alcohol and drugs
prior to the stabbing.
Poland, who is currently living
in Rocky Mount was secured under

Last Friday, the city of
Greenville gathered at Harrington
Field to raise money and walk for
cancer, a disease that has taken the
lives of many and changed the
lives of survivors. The 24-hour
walk around the track began at
3:30 on Friday afternoon. It con-

At 7:00 p.m tents were pitched
and grills were fired up to accom-

ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR
ECU students held a rally
Thursday to protest and discuss a
racial slur made by former Board of
Trustees member Walter Williams.
According to Marcus Fredrick of
The Ledonia Wright Center, 250-
300 students gathered on campus
for the annual Heritage Festival at
the amphitheater on west campus.
The rally was held at the start of the
festival.
Fredrick said he and Na'im
Akbar, Gillian Thompson and
Adrian Cox started the rally under
the umbrella of the Minority
Student Coalition.
"We took the opportunity of the
gathering of students to inform
them about the B.O.T members'
comments Akbar said. "We want-
ed to explain exactly what the com-
ment meant.
Williams said in an address to the
Cape Fear chapter of the pirate
club that there was a "nigger in the
woodpile" if the men's basketball
team does not begin to win with
new coach Bill Herrion
Groups present at the rally
included the ECU chapter of the
NAACP, the Black Student Union,
A.B.L.E Alpha Kappa Alpha and
the National Pan Hellenic Council,
among others, according to
Fredrick.
"We basically wanted to inform
everybody of what had happened
Fredrick said. "Not everyone on
campus is aware of Mr. Williams'
remarks
Fredrick also said that the rally
was held to let people know what
the minority leaders on campus
were doing about Williams' com-
ment.
Some students that attended the
Heritage Festival said they were
pleasantly surprised by the rally.
"I wasn't expecting it said Brad

STAff WIITKI
Recently, the UNC Board of
Governors approved a new degree
program for ECU's School of
Industry and Technology. Starting
next month, the school will offer a
master of science degree in occupa-
tional safety and health.
The program began four years
ago as a concentration in a masters
in industrial technology. Since
then, it has generated a lot of stu-
dent interest and has grown rapidly
� much to the delight of the
School of Industry and Technology.
Rape suspect indicted
on firearms charge
CHARLOTTE (AP) A
Charlotte man serving prison time
" in Virginia for molesting a girl and
awaiting trial on child kidnapping
and rape charges has been charged
with federal firearms violations.
A federal grand jury charged
Robin Wayne Martin, 42, of pos-
sessing machine guns, submachine
guns and silencers. He also is
charged in the indictment.
"It was obvious very early on
that the program was going to be
popular, so we began the adminis-
trative process of turning it into its
own degree program said Darryl
Davis, dean of the School of
Industry and Technology.
Many of the classes required for
this new degree will be offered on-
line.
"This is an important part of the
program because we'll have people
from all over North Carolina and
the United States taking these
courses Davis said. "There will
still be some required lab compo-
nents that students will have to
complete, but a lot of the require-
ments will-be done on-line

ECU will join Murray State
University, Indiana University of
Pennsylvania, West Virginia State
University and Indiana University
as the only schools in the nation to
offer an accredited program in
occupational safety and health at
the master's level, according to
John Durham, director of news and
communication services.
"Making this program into a
degree that stands alone is going to
benefit both students and prospec-
tive employers because occupa-
tional health and safety is such a
broad field Davis said.
Graduates typically pursue
careers as insurance loss control

tries and safety consultants.

tm.
The Board of Governors has also
approved three other construction
projects to enlarge campus offer-
ings. The first of these is a $2.9 mil-
lion materials warehouse that will
be built on Dickinson Avenue. The
warehouse will handle shipping
and receiving as well as store some
materials.
Bruce Flye, director of Facilities
Planning said that the new facility
will be larger and better than the
current warehouse. This building
will satisfy the need to get the facil-
ity off of central camps, and the
location on Dickinson will conve-
niently serve both the School of
Medicine and the main body of
campus.
Jones Hall will also undergo
extensive renovations. As part of a 2
12 piece, $18.5 million project, the
first phase will include renovations
to the old dining hall. The changes
will include a slight expansion that
will affect the dimensions of the
Galley. The second phase of the
Jones renovations will include
equipping the entire building with
air conditioning. There will also be
a juice and desert bar, a fitness cen-
ter, an online coffee bar, study areas
and activity areas which will give
students an entertainment alterna-
tive to going downtown.
Students say they will have to
see what the new facilities have to
offer before deciding if they will
spend their recreation time there.
"It may be a nice place, but it
depends on what they have to
offer said freshman Colleen
Sherrill. "It depends on how enter-
taining it will be There will also
be a new chiller plant installed on
College Hill. The chiller plant will
allow all halls on College Hill to
eventually be equipped with air
conditioning.
"One chiller plant will result in
huge energy savings Flye said
"The plant will ensure that a hall
doesn't go without air condition-
ing
If the chiller mechanically failed
in any way, the hall would lose its
air conditioning. With the addition
of the new plant which will have
several chillers, no one hall would
lose its air conditioning.
The third project is the con-
struction of a $10.6 million strength
and conditioning center between
Minges and Dowdy-Ficklen
Stadium. The 20,000 square-foot
facility will have a recruit dining
area, kitchen, study areas, a track,
an agility area, a plyometric training
area, a large area for free-form lift-
ing, a number of aerobic training
units, as well as a 500-seat banquet
hall.
"It is one of the biggest spaces
in the country Flye said.
He also said that the banquet
hall will be a much needed asset to.
the city of Greenville.
"All of the different types of-
training we can do will be con-
tained to that facility said Jeff
Connors, director of strength and
conditioning.
Students said they think the
complex is a good idea as long as
numerous people can take advan-
tage of the facilities.
"There are more important
things to spend $10.6 million on.
Hopefully it will be open to all stu-
dents said Kmily Miller, junior
science education major.

Female jail guard gets
probation for having
sex with inmate
SPRINGFIELD, Ga. (AP) A
former Effingham jailer has been
sentenced to two years probation
for having sex with an inmate at the
Effingham Countyjail.
Kay C. Stone, 50, of Springfield,
was convicted Friday of sexual
assault against a person in custody
by Superior Court Judge Faye
Sanders Martin, who also handed
down the sentence.
Ms. Stone was also fined $2,000
in lieu of a 90-day sentence in a
women's detention center.
Two of Ms. Stone's former
coworkers are accused of taking
bribes of as little as $20 to allow
male inmates to visit female
inmates. Former jailers Jerry W.

officials feel that the plan will result
in a more effective use of space
throughout the 16 campuses of the
UNC system.
So far, representatives at the tar-
get schools said they arc generally
excited about the prospect of
increasing their enrollment.
"We feel very good about the
proposal said Frank Prochaska,
Vice Chancellor of Academic Affairs
at Western Carolina University. "Of
course, when you plan to grow like
that you will encounter problems,
but we feel confident that we can
handle them There are currently
6,200 students enrolled at Western
Carolina.
Officials at Elizabeth City State
University, which has 1,950 current
students, feel much the same way.
"We're very supportive of the
system's growth plan and feel that it
will be beneficial to the system as a
whole said Marsha McLean,
director of university relations at
ECSU.
Since ECU is the third largest
university in the state, this particu-
lar plan will have only a small effect
in enrollment, despite the fact that
the school hopes to increase growth.
Earlier this year, ECU expressed
the desire to increase enrollment to
anywhere between 25,000 and
27,000 students in the next ten
years. Under the BOG plan, ECU
will eventually increase up to
24,000 students in 2008.
"The general administration is
aware of our goals, but it isn't the
highest priority right now said
John Durham, director of news and
communication services.
One of the greatest problems in
implementing the plan will be
building sufficient facilities and
financing the estimated $7.4 billion
price tag that will go along with it
"Before any significant growth
can take place, we need to get the
facilities Durham said. "We're
maxed out right now
"We need to start building resi-
dence halls now if Western Carolina
is going to grow as planned
Prochaska said.
BOG members will review the
plan each year to evaluate its effec-
tiveness to ensure that future
needs are not undermined by the
program.

The East Ciroli
outnew
As we all know, long time Board of Trustees member, Walter Williams recently
resigned from his position. Williams made a comment in reference to this seasons
basketball team and its new coach, later saying his comment was mistakenly taken
as a racial slur.
The comment, "nigger in the woodpile is an old saying from an old era. If it ever
was acceptable, then aren't we thankful we are not of that era. In a time when peo-
ple used wood to heat buildings, did they assume that if wood was found missing,
an African-American was stealing the wood?
Williams may have lived most of his life in an era when this comment would have
been acceptable, but in the late 90's this is inexcusable. Just because the 69-year-
old Williams was raised in an age when African-Americans were not allowed to
drink from the same fountain, use the same bathroom, eat at the same restaurants
or sit together on the bus with whites, does not excuse the comment. People who
grew up before the Civil Rights Movement should embrace changes, not hold on
to a way of life that was wrong and is no more .
We shudder to think Williams may have made comments of this nature before in
private crowds where no one raised an eyebrow. We hope the lesson to administra-
tors and the community alike is not merely to be careful of where they make com-
ments, but to evaluate their fundamental attitudes and behaviors toward minorities.
This university is composed of 2,159 African-Americans whose presence must be
embraced. Shame on any administrator who merely tolerates minorities or worse,
never stops to evaluate the positive attributes which increasing multi-culturalism
brings to our cajnpus.
We not only have an opinion, we would like to suggest a solution. We recognize
and appreciate the tireless efforts of Williams over the years. We understand his
heartache over loosing a leadership position at an institution to which he clearly has
devoted himself. Instead of stripping his name from the collesium or dismantling
the scholarship fund he and his wife recently established, let's give him an oppor-
tunity to continue giving and help in the healing of a campus hurt by his words. We
suggest Williams continues to contribute � this time, in the name ofcultural diver-
sity and racial healing.
Obviously, racial issues can divide the spirit of East Carolina University. This inci-
dent should be a catalyst for programs which challenge students of all races to com-
bat the legacies of bygone era.
LETTER
to the Editor
Chancellor calls for healing of community
The events that culminated in the
resignation of Walter Williams from
the East Carolina Board of Trustees
this week serve as a stark reminder
of the power of words to divide us.
I hope that as we move to put this
incident behind us, we can use it as
a lesson on the need for thoughtful-
ness, for consideration and for
mutual respect.
This is a situation that has no
winners. Many are hurt because of
Mr. Williams' words. Others are
saddened because his talents will
no longer be available in a leader-
ship position at the university. The
fabric of our community has been
torn.
I am sorry for the hurt that has
been caused. I regret that the state-
ment was made. It was wrong. But
it cannot be unmade. Words once
spoken or written cannot be unspo-
ken or unwritten. It is important
now that we move ahead together,
that we embrace a healing in our
community.
I hope that as we move ahead
we can all take to heart the truths
that these events have reminded us
of: Our words can have tremendous
effect. They can uplift, inspire,
teach and motivate. And they can
injure, insult, degrade and divide.
We should choose and use our
words carefully, ever mindful of
how they might be heard and seen
by others.
This incident, as painful as it is,
offers us an opportunity to grow as
an academic community. If we can
recommit to strength in diversity
and to the need to treat others with
dignity and courtesy, then we will
have taken a critical step in that
direction.
Sincerely,
Richard R. Eakin

OPINION
Phillip
Gilfus
Three zeros, no cause to cheer
Fact: The year 2000 is next year.
Fact: The new millennium,
a.k.a. the 21st century, is NOT next
year.
Opinion: Anyone who says that
next year is the beginning of the
new millennium is a poo-poo head.
I'm sorry, folks, but it's true. I
know two-thirds of this campus has
the craziest notion that three zeros
is a cause of big celebration, but 1
scoff at all of you that follow that
line of reasoning. Don't get me
wrong, though, I like all of you, I
really do. After all, the only reason I
write this column is just so I can to
bring a little sunshine into all of
your
lives
(mustkeepstraightface).
Which brings me to today's sub-
ject: Why ECU is the best darn
school in the Carolina of the North.
Now 1 know what y'all are think-
ing, "But what about the parking,
those crazy professors and the blan-
kety-blank rising tuition?" Oh sure,
we have some slight annoyances,
the ones that every other university
has, but in the end, ECU is an oasis
in the land of UNC-system desert.
Don't believe me? Just look at
LETTER
all of the things we offer here. We
have over 200 clubs on campus.
Anyone can get involved in such
fine organizations as Student
Government, the Lullaby League,
the Lollipop GuikL.no wait, this is
the list for UNC. But this brings up
another point, where else are you
going to go to school? UNC? Sure,
go ahead. Be an elitist, sell-out. NC
State? Well, I can't pick on NCSU
too much. Those technical schools
are a little bit "different At State,
they work on something called tex-
tiles. Ask anyone there what a tex-
tile is, and you will get a lengthy
explanation involving polymers
and plastics.
In other words, they are basical-
ly building strategic doomsday
weapons in Raleigh under the
guise of a manufacturing school.
And why do you think they are so
good at football? They aren't just
using those hormones on the cows
in their agricultural college, I'll tell
ya that.
But we all know that ECU gets
a bad rap across the state. The infa-
mous E-ZU, that dern party school.
There are some people who say
that if you drive through
Greenville, someone will throw a
diploma in your car. Now that's not
true, you have to stop first. But seri-
ously, this is not some second-rate
university with a bunch of easy
classes. As evidence, I would like to
present defense exhibit A, my
report card. Lousy, bloody math
course.
To those who say that our
admission standards let just about
anyone in, I won't argue with them.
Color me crazy, but I like going to
an university that has a diverse
group of about 18,000 people from
all walks of life. They might not
have all scored a 1300 on their SAT,
but they're working just as hard as
everyone else, if not harder.
You can have your UNC-G and
Appalachian State. Go ahead, apply
to Duke and UNC-W. But I'll stay
a Pirate until they kick me out or I
graduate, whichever comes first.
I'm the first to admit that I usually
don't go all out with the school
pride thing, but I'll defend my pur-
ple and gold to any and all critics.
Williams should play no role on campus
I would like to respond to the
recent events that have taken place
regarding our university over the
last couple weeks. First, I would
like to say that for the first time in
my life, I am ashamed to call myself
a Pirate Club member. I can not
believe I am a part of an organiza-
tion that allows its officials to make
openly racist comments and still be
allowed to remain as a university
spokesperson. This makes a major
statement about our university sys-
tem, and it is a disgrace to the good
people of our organization and to
the people of Eastern North
Carolina. Not to mention the ulti-
mate embarrassment of having
Governor Jim Hunt call to ask for
his resignation. Mr. Williams needs
to resign immediately as Executive
President of the Pirate Club and
relinquish his representation as a
university spokesperson. He does
not represent me, nor does his
name portray any type of positive
image for himself, his company or
our university. He should have
been immediately asked to step
down from all university positions
and should not have been allowed
to speak at any other university
associated functions. No apology
can make up for such a horrific
error in judgment. When you
assume a position of power or as an
authority figure, you are held to a
much higher set of moral and ethi-
cal standards, and there is no room
for error. Allowing him to remain
only condones his behavior, and it
means you are thinking only with
your wallet rather than with your
head.
ECU has always been treated as
the red-headed step-child of our
state. We have enough enemies try-
ing to push us down, so why shoot
ourselves in the foot by keeping
him around to further damage our
image? We don't need any more
help in that area. Raleigh and the
News & Observer are already try-
ing their best to promote a negative
image of us. So why perpetuate it
further by allowing him to continue
as a university spokesperson?
I actually would like to see you
give him his million dollars back
and then have his name removed
from the basketball arena. His
name, from this point on, will be
associated with racism; every time
it is mentioned , that's the first
thing that will come to people's
minds. That's not an association
that our university needs. We
should only address the arena by its
proper name from here on out�
Minges Coliseum.
If I were Coach Gibson or any
ECU basketball player, I would
never want to set foot in that stnic-
ture as long as it contains the
Williams name. "Racist" Arena is
not a place where we will be able to
build a positive legacy and tradi-
tion, as long as we have it associat-
ed with Mr. Williams and his racial
image.
I do not want Walter Williams
representing ECU in any capacity,
whether Executive President, or
even Chapter Representative. If he
wishes to remain a Pirate Club
member, that's his choice, but he
should do so as a silent, nonactive
member.
I will seriously have to reconsid-
er whether to renew my Pirate
Club membership next year if he
remains as Executive President,
but I do plan to boycott all Trade
Mart convenience stores as a result
of his actions. I no longer want to
associate or contribute to the efforts
of anything associated with Mr;
Williams. The only honorable thing
for him to do would be to remove
himself from all university posi-
tions. He has already ruined his
reputation, so why allow him to fur-
ther damage ECU's? It doesn't
matter when he grew up and how
things were back then, that's no
excuse, this is the 1990s, not the
1890s. :
Allowing him to remain is eveni
tually going to effect our university
funding by those in Raleigh. This
not only affects our athletic pro-
gram but our university as a whole.
Is he going to reimburse the uni-
versity for all funds it is denied as a
result of the fallout of his actions? I
don't think so. Had this occurred at
UNC-Chapel Hill, Duke or NC
State, he would have been
removed immediately. So why
haven't we done that yet? Had a
member of the coaching staff made
a similar remark they would have
been forced to resign immediately:
Instead we have let it get so out of
hand that the Governor has had to
step in and take action. You are only
perpetuating the image that
Eastern North Carolinians are
backward.

racial remark.
All that is required is intelli-
gence, integrity and respect for
your self and others. As students of
this university, it is our responsibil-
ity to voice our concerns when it
comes to our universities' leaders.
However, TEC article on April
11 did not respect or represent the
opinions and concerns of all stu-
dents. I believe that because this
highly publicized issue is targeted
at African-Americans, TEC took
the safe approach by predominant-
ly providing comments from the
African-American population. In
doing so, TEC could be doing
more harm than good.
Just because Williams' ignorant
and racist remark was directed
toward African-Americans, it does
not make it their problem. Racism
is everyone's problem. To combat
racial problems on this campus and
everywhere, it cannot be presented
as only a problem of the wronged
and discriminated.
We will all be negatively affect-
ed by racism if we do not speak up
about it now. I encourage anyone
who values the integrity of this
school, anyone who is disgusted at
Williams' comments and its reper-
cussions to speak out, write letters,
and make a difference in our uni-
versity and community.

LETTER
to the Editor
African-American accepts apology
As a African-American alumnus of
East Carolina, I would like to
express my opinion on the entire
situation. Being a member of the
Pirate Club I have had the opportu-
nity to meet Mr. Williams and truly
believe that when he made the
comments at the Pirate Club event
in Wilmington that he didn't mean
anything to offend anyone or hurt
the image of the university he has
supported so long. Mr. Williams
admitted that he made a mistake,
apologized and resigned from the
Board of Trustees. In a world of
where we have the 3-strikes you're
out laws, Mr. Williams deserves to
use his remaining strikes. I hope
from Mr. Williams and continues to
support the businesses of Mr.
Williams, as he has always support-
ed East Carolina University. The
school I'm proud to be a graduate
of.

You, being just as bored as they are,

Prank calls are popular among
college students. Those who fall
prey to it are the pranker's friends,
enemies, or perhaps some random
victim who's number was chosen
from the phone book.
According to Frank Mann, an
ECU professional telecommunica-
tions entertainment team manager,
prank calls are just calls done with
nothing but a good laugh in mind. A
prank call isn't a form of harass-
ment, it is merely a gift that you
have had the joy of receiving.
"Some people just take prank
calls too seriously Mann said.
With only two weeks left in the
semester, some people still have
not grasped the concept that you
have to dial nine to order a pizza.
"We get at least five calls a day
where someone is trying to order a
pizza said Max Houseworth, a res-
ident of Clement Hall, whose num-
ber is coincidentally 7577.
"Sometimes we just pick up the
phone and say 'Papa John's' and
play along
On a more serious level, there
are threatening phone calls. These
usually occur between ex-
boyfriends and girlfriends who want
nothing but revenge or to hear the
other person's voice. These calls
can be considered threatening and
malicious, deserve to be taken seri-
ously and should ALWAYS be
reported to the proper authorities.
"While most of the unwanted
calls are harmless and non-threaten-
ing, roughly 15 percent are threat-
ening said Captain F. Knight of
the ECU Police Department.
"Most of the threatening calls
made are somewhat sexual in
nature and sexually explicit"
The ECU Police Department
encourages anyone feeling threat-
ened or annoyed by unwanted
calls to contact the department.
"Right now, we do have the
capability to trace calls that are
made from one campus number
to another campus number
Knight said. "We are still working
on the technology to be able to
trace off-campus calls
If you arc a victim of an
unwanted phone call, you should
make the caller aware that the call
is unwanted and
ask them to
please not call you
again. If the calls
continue, you should
alert the campus
police. If the calls can
be traced, the ECU
police will more than
likely confront the
caller and issue
them a campus
appearance ticket.
The caller, accord-
ing to the extent of
the phone call, will
be assigned a fine or
community service.
In extreme cases
your phone number
can be changed.

"All of the field study programs
were unbelievably expensive, so I
was about to give up she said.
But luckily. Dr. Sylvia Henning,
member of the board of directors
for this masters program, happened
to meet one Dr. Frank Chipasula.
Dr. Chipasula, professor at
University of Nebraska-Omaha, is
originally from Malawi. Henning
put Chipasula in touch with Jolly.
When Jolly mentioned that her
concentration, which all MAIS stu-
dents must choose, is in environ-
mental degradation, Chipasula said
he had a friend who was the minis-
ter of the department for
Environmental Affairs in Malawi.
"My position was to be an intern or
assistant to the Environmental
Division Officer (EDO) Jolly
said.
Malawi is divided into 24 dis-
tricts, though Jolly would end up
only visiting three. There is an
EDO in each district. The relative-
ly new department of
Environmental Affairs is designed
to be a coordinating body for all of
Malawi's natural resources divi-
sions. Malawi itself is a third world
country with a population over nine
million, which is slightly smaller
than Pennsylvania. The official lan-
guages are English and Chichewa.
Jolly first traveled to the north-
ern district of Nkhata Bay, near
Lake Malawi. From there she visit-
ed Mangochi, which is also on the
lake. The EDO in this district was
attempting to establish environ-
mental clubs in the primary and
secondary schools, so Jolly had the
chance to travel to 11 randomly
chosen schools in the area.

Even though you have probably
had your fill of exams and quizzes
this semester, take a moment to
answer a few quick questions. How
many of these can you answer yes
to?
1 am forgetful, tired, and bored
with school. I am irritable and snap
at people. I feel sad for no apparent
reason. 1 have trouble sleeping
because 1 worry about school. I get
sick more than I used to.
Communicating with others is a
strain.
If you answered "yes" several of
these questions, you could be hav-
ing a problem with school burnout.
This time of year, with the
abundance of tests, projects and
papers due, it is a wonder that the
downtown bars get any business at
all. Professors trying to wind down
the semester place additional pres-
sure on students to do more work
now than the rest of the year. This
is also the time when all those
assignments that you have known
about since the beginning of the
semester slowly creep up on you.
For some students, burnout is
more than just an end-of-the-
semester phenomenon. They feel
as though school will never end and
that the pressure just keeps build-
ing.

Like many other students, Anne
has encountered some difficulties
during her stay here at ECU. A
change in majors and not enough
seats in the program she wanted to
get into put her into a world of
stress. She feels that the university
could do more to help students
rather than pile on additional pres-
sure.
"There is really no way to get
ahead or graduate early she said.
"The lack of flexibility in the
course load is really frustrating
Neil Boardman, senior, had a
similar experience. He feels that
the university just doesn't put
enough effort into helping students
finish up and graduate on time.
"There's a lot of red tape to go

According to Al Smith, assistant

dents should take to cope with

of stress Smith said. "Do you lose
sleep, eat more than usual, or seem
especially nervous? How do you

After you isolate the symptom,
try to understand what specifically
is causing you to feel this way.
Isolating your main stressors can
help you to deal directly with what
seems to be bothering you the
most. The next step is often the
hardest.
"Take the time to relax and
unwind Smith said. "Really, it's a
skill that students need to work on,
especially this time of year
With all the pressures college
entails, that may be easier said than
done. But there are some things
you can do in a short amount of
time to refresh your mind and
body, alt of which will help you to
get through without getting burned
out. Take some time to exercise
and wsich your diet. Stimulants
like caffeine will only excite your
already jittery nerves.
Avoiding stress and burnout
simply takes a little bit of organiza-
tion. Make to-do lists and cross of
items as you complete them. Keep
a day planner and don't try to take
on more than you can reasonably
handle.
If you can't handle it all on your
own, don't be afraid to ask for help.
The Center for Counseling and
Student Development offers work-
shops to help students manage
stress, and counselors can help stu-
dents who need to talk out their
problems one on one.
Students also offer suggestions
on avoiding burnout.
"Make sure you know what is
going on said Boardman. "Don't
rely on other people to do things
for you, or it could backfire
"Take it one day at a time, get
organized, and don't procrasti-

She also observed the work th:u
Malawian women must endure.
"It's not uncommon to see a

her front, a huge, huge load of
wood strapped on top of her heai'
and carrying something in both
hands. Her husband is walking

After her four month sojourn.
Jolly found it hard to readjust to life
in the States.
"There's just so much guilt. I'm
putting myself through school, I
have a one bedroom apartment, am
a full-time student, I don't make
any money. So by standards here,
I'm relatively poor she said. "But
there, I've never been so wealthy
in all my life
Jolly plans to take off a year
after receiving her masters. She
hopes to either go for her doctorate
or get a job at a non-governmental,
environmental organization.

Prank calls arc popular among
college students. Those who fall
prey to it are the pranker's friends,
enemies, or perhaps some random
victim who's number was chosen
from the phone book.
According to Frank Mann, an
ECU professional telecommunica-
tions entertainment team manager,
prank calls are just calls done with
nothing but a good laugh in mind. A
prank call isn't a form of harass-
ment, it is merely a gift that you
have had the joy of receiving.
"Some people just take prank
calls too seriously Mann said.
With only two weeks left in the
semester, some people still have
not grasped the concept that you
have to dial nine to order a pizza.
"We get at least five calls a day
where someone is trying to order a
pizza said Max Houseworth, a res-
ident of Clement Hall, whose num-
ber is coincidentally 7577.
"Sometimes we just pick up the
phone and say 'Papa John's' and
play along
On a more serious level, there
are threatening phone calls. These
usually occur between ex-
boyfricnds and girlfriends who want
nothing but revenge or to hear the
other person's voice. These calls
can be considered threatening and
malicious, deserve to be taken seri-
ously and should ALWAYS be
reported to the proper authorities.
"While most of the unwanted
calls are harmless and non-threaten-
ing, roughly 15 percent are threat-

ening said Captain F. Knight of
the ECU Police Department.
"Most of the threatening calls
made are somewhat sexual in
nature and sexually explicit
The ECU Police Department
encourages anyone feeling threat-
ened or annoyed by unwanted
calls to contact the department.
"Right now, we do have the
capability to trace calls that are
made from one campus number
to another campus number
Knight said. "We are still working
on the technology to be able to
�race off-campus calls
If you arc a victim of an
unwanted phone call, you should
make the caller aware that the call
is unwanted and
ask them to
please not call you
again. If the calls
continue, you should
alert the campus
police. If the calls can
be traced, the ECU
police will more than
likely confront the
caller and issue
them a campus
appearance ticket.
The caller, accord-
ing to the extent of
the phone call, will
be assigned a fine or
community service.
In extreme cases,
your phone number
can be changed.

If the Masters of Arts International

As part of her field study
requirement, Jolly spent four
months traveling through Malawi,
Africa and had a life-changing
experience.

"All of the field study programs
were unbelievably expensive, so I
was about to give up she said.
But luckily. Dr. Sylvia Henning,
member of the board of directors
for this masters program, happened
to meet one Dr. Frank Chipasula.
Dr. Chipasula, professor at
University of Nebraska-Omaha, is
originally from Malawi. Henning
put Chipasula in touch with Jolly.
When Jolly mentioned that her
concentration, which all MAIS stu-
dents must choose, is in environ-
mental degradation, Chipasula said
he had a friend who was the minis-
ter of the department for
Environmental Affairs in Malawi.
"My position was to be an intern or
assistant to the Environmental
Division Officer (EDO) Jolly
said.
Malawi is divided into 24 dis-
tricts, though Jolly would end up
only visiting three. There is an
EDO in each district. The relative-
ly new department of
Environmental Affairs is designed
to be a coordinating body for all of
Malawi's natural resources divi-
sions. Malawi itself is a third world
country with a population over nine
million, which is slightly smaller
than Pennsylvania. The official lan-
guages are English and Chichewa.
Jolly first traveled to the north-
ern district of Nkhata Bay, near
Lake Malawi. From there she visit-
ed Mangochi, which is also on the
lake. The EDO in this district was
attempting to establish environ-
mental clubs in the primary and
secondary schools, so Jolly had the
chance to travel to 11 randomly
chosen schools in the area.
"The kids were probably the
best thing about being there Jolly
said. "The kids are amazing

The normal appearance for a

"Looking at them you could see

that amazed me was how happy
they were. They always had a smile
on their faces
But the question arose: how
many of those children would last

Even though you have probably
had your fill of exams and quizzes
this semester, take a moment to
answer a few quick questions. How
many of these can you answer yes
to?
I am forgetful, tired, and bored
with school. I am irritable and snap
at people. I feel sad for no apparent
reason. 1 have trouble sleeping
because I worry about school. I get
sick more than I used to.
Communicating with others is a
strain.
If you answered "yes" several of
these questions, you could be hav-
ing a problem with school burnout.
This time of year, with the
abundance of tests, projects and
papers due, it is a wonder that the
downtown bars get any business at
all. Professors trying to wind down
the semester place additional pres-
sure on students to do more work
now than the rest of the year. This
is also the time when all those
assignments that you have known
about since the beginning of the
semester slowly creep up on you.
For some students, burnout is
more than just an end-of-the-
semester phenomenon. They feel
as though school will never end and
that the pressure just keeps build-
ing.

Like many other students, Anne
has encountered some difficulties
during her stay here at ECU. A
change in majors and not enough
seats in the program she wanted to
get into put her into a world of
stress. She feels that the university
could do more to help students
rather than pile on additional pres-
sure.
"There is really no way to get
ahead or graduate early she said.
"The lack of flexibility in the
course load is really frustrating
Neil Boardman, senior, had a
similar experience. He feels that
the university just doesn't put
enough effort into helping students
finish up and graduate on time.

According to Al Smith, assistant

dents should take to cope with
events that cause stress and early
burnout. ,

of stress Smith said. "Do you lose
sleep, eat more than usual, or seem

Coming off a non-conference loss
to interstate rival UNC-Chapel
Hill, ECU Softball bounced back
over the weekend to defeat UNC
Charlotte on the road.
There was no home turf advan-
tage on Wednesday as Carolina
snapped ECU's 12 game winning
streak with a set of doubleheader
defeats, 10-3 and 6-5.
After being named Big South
Pitcher of the Week, Denisc
Reagan struggled on the mound
Wednesday. The loss put the star
pitcher at 27-7 on the season.
"I was really disappointed with
today's outing said Tracey Kec,
head coach. "We really struggled at
the plate and stranded numerous
batters
The Pirates managed to pull
out a doubleheader conference
win over UNC Charlotte on the
road this weekend.
Led by senior slugger Isonette
Polonius, ECU beat Charlotte in a
6-0 shutout then again in a 17-9
slamming in game two.
The wins were numbers 40 and
41 for the season, making this the
6th consecutive year that ECU has
notched over 40 victories.
"We have a lot of fun, which
helps us be successful as a team
said Addie Chlebnikow, freshman.
Polonius' 15th and 16th home
runs on the season helped to put
ECU in the standings, out hitting

Pirates' Sunday loss at ODU came
after consecutive wins on Friday
and Saturday. ECU took Friday's
win 14-4 after a rain delay, then
they went on to win on Saturday 9-
2 and finished with the disappoint-
ing loss on Sunday afternoon 6-2.
"We didn't do a very good job
offensively at the plate. We had too
many non-quality outs during the
game which will always get you in
trouble said, Keith LeClair, head
coach. "I thought Foye pitched
well for the most part and the
defense was good
In Sunday's loss the Pirates were
held hitless for the first five innings
of the contest and only managed to
put down four hits the entire game
tying their lowest hit total of the
season. ECU's poor performance
came after two games of over-
whelming hitting displays with 29
hits in the two days combined.
"I was really surprised to see the
Pirates struggling so much at bat.
After the way they played on Friday
and Saturday, either Bailey was a
heck of a pitcher or the Pirates just
did not come to play said Heather
Burgess, senior.
But Monarch starter David
Bailey seemed too much for ECU
as he shut down their first nine bat-
ter straight. He did not allow a hit
until the sixth inning when with
two outs and the bases loaded Chad
Tracy hit a single which scored both
Steve Salargo and John Williamson.
"We are still in good shape.
though LeClair said. "We took
two-of-three from a solid confer-
ence opponent and that is what you
always hope for. Now we just have
to get it back together and get ready
for another game
ECU's overall record fell to 35-
10 and 11-3 and the CAA after the
defeat. With Sunday's win ODU
ended an eight game CAA losing
streak and gave ECU alumni and
ODU head coach his 600th career
coaching win. Foye Minton(7-4)
saw 6.0 innings on the mound and
gave up eight hits, five runs, two
walks with five strikeouts. Adam

Catherine Morgan, the lone senior
captain, has finished her years of
playing tennis for ECU.
Morgan, who has been involved
with tennis since the age of 10,
played her last and final match dur-
ing the CAA Tournament as the
team placed seventh out of the
nine teams
present.
"I've

Morgan. "I

Morgan completed her career
under the new head coach Tom
Morris along with a very young
team consisting of mainly freshmen
and sophomores. Although the sea-
son was not perfect, Morgan did
win a tough three set match against
Georgetown in singles and doubles
as well.
"I think Catherine has shown a
lot of leadership and maturity said
Morris. "She has played hard every

Coming out of high school in

overall record 68-2 and was named
Washington High Female Athlete

In her highlight season as a
junior, Morgan had the team's

bad during the final round of the
Greater Greensboro Chrysler
Classic that he started hoping they
would just end up in the rough.
At one point, he told his caddy,
Lance Ten Broeck, that he had no
idea where the next drive might
end up.
Despite the erratic driver,
Parnevik was still finished with a 2-
under 70 and close out a record-set-
ting victory on Sunday.
Parnevik hit just five fairways off
the tee but still finished the tourna-
ment at 23-under par, breaking by
six shots the 72-hole scoring record
for the tournament since it moved
to Forest Oaks Country Club in
1977. Sandy Lyle and Ken Green
set the previous mark of 17-under-
par 271 in 1988. Lyle won that year
in a playoff.
Parnevik's four-day 265 was the
best on the tour this year, beating
by one stroke David Duval's 266 at
the season-opening.
"I really did struggle with my
driving on the weekend Parnevik
said. "Every time I hit a fairway, 1
made birdie. Apart from that, it was
a struggle. The swing that I had on
my irons that worked very well, did
not work very well on my driver
But he wasn't comfortable with his
lead at
"I stood over the ball (on the
16th tee) and just told my caddy, 'I
have no idea where this is going to
end up,� Parnevik said. "I was just
hoping I was going to go anywhere
near the fairway. I was kind of
thinking, the further "And that was
one of the few airways I actually
hit
Jim Furyk, who played with
Parnevik on Sunday, shot a 69 to
leader and made one serious
charge, closing the gap to one with
a 30-foot chip-in for birdie on the
11th hole, fringe on the par-3 12th
and holed a 12-foot birdie putt on
No. 13 to push the lead back to
three. Furyk got no closer
than two shots the rest of the
way. the field by six said Furyk,
who had only three bogeys on the
week to Parnevik's eight. "I can't
control what Jesper does. He just
made more birdies than I did

the CAA the Pirates also slid back
in the polls last week. In
ESPNUSA Today Top 25 Poll and
the Baseball America Top 25 Poll
the Pirates fell back to No. 23 in
the nation. But it was in the
Collegiate Baseball Rankings
where the Pirates were nowhere to
be found as they fell from No. 24
right off the top 30 poll to receive
no ranking for the week.
The Pirates will be taking on
the University of North Carolina
today at 7 p.m. for an expected sell
out game. So if you're planning to
go out and cheer on the Pirates we
at the East Carolinian suggest that
you get out there mighty early.

In front of 41,000 fans in rainy
Philadelphia this veckend, ECUs
track teams put on a show.
The Pirates got classic perfor-
mances from the class of each team.
Michelle Clayton and the men's
4x400 squad got
third place fin-
ishes in the pres-
tigious event.
Other Pirate
competitors
such as fresh-
man, Toni
Kilgore and the
women's 4x200
meter relay put
on strong perfor-
mances as well.
The Men's
4x400 squad
came into the
meet with a shot
at taking home
first place. In the
finals the team
started well.
"We had a lead from the begin-
ning said Head Men's Track
Coach Bill Carson. "James
(Alexander) got us the lead,
(Darrick) Ingram got it bigger and
Miller kept it. Damon (Davis) just
got pushed by a real good runner.
He probably should have backed
off, but he just ran out of gas. 300
meters into it he had nothing left
The squad finished third among
college teams.
"It's nice to be in position to win.
We gave the maximum effort and
just got beat Carson said.
The 4x200 squad raced earlier in
the meet. The team of Alexander,
Toni

Davis, Lawrence, Ward and Ingram
placed sixth.
Throughout the 1999 track sea-
son, there have been few constants.
However, one thing has remained
true. It is that Michelle Clayton will
be at the top of the standings in any
event she is in. 7 �
At the Penn Relays, it was' no
different. Clayton finished third in
the shot put among college com-
petitors.
The women's 4x200 meter relav
squad placed third among ECAC
teams.The team of Nicky Coins,
Rasheca Barrow, Tonya Little and
Carmen Weldon
finished ahead
of seven other
teams.
Freshman,
Toni Kilgore
placed sixth in
the college
triple jump. In
the long jump,
Toshima Dabbs
placed 19th
among college
competitors.
"We did
pretty good
said Head
Women's Track
Coach "Choo"
Justice. "It was a
huge meet. There were thousands
of people there. It was a really big
deal
Next weekend, the teams travel
to the USATF Series in New
Orleans. The event, is a scored
meet. For the first time this season,
the ECU distance runners will com-
pete with the sprinters. The dis-
tance squad missed the Penn;
Relays due to illness. This fact maj!

"This will benefit us because we,

Strawberry suspended
on cocaine charges f
NEW YORK, N.Y. (AP) -Darryl
Strawberry was suspended indefi-
nitely Saturday while baseball
investigates his arrest this month on
a charge of cocaine possession.
Commissioner Bud Selig put the
37-year-old outfielder on "adminis-
trative leave which isn't defined
by baseball's rules but carries the
same penalties as a suspension.
Strawberry can't participate in
workouts or games with the New
York Yankees or their farm teams
until the inquiry is completed.
"It's in the hands of the legal sys-
tem in Florida and it will depend on
what happens there Selig said.

inning ECU had held off the 49ers
6-0.
Game two proved to be another
round of ECU dominating play.
Polonius' ECU career record for
home runs reached 41. She
showed the team the way home
notching four RBI's, three runs,
two doubles and one homer. She
went 4-for-5 while sophomore Jen

double, three RBI's and one run.

drug problems. He was
suspended for 60 days in 1995
after testing positive for cocaine
and another positive test would be
cause for another suspension, sev-
eral baseball officials have said
since the arrest.
The two baseball officials said
there was no conclusive agreement
between owners and the players'
association on the results of his
most recent tests. Part of the prob-
lem, one official said, may have
been the timing of the test follow-
ing his arrest the test may have
occurred too late to detect any
cocaine is his urine.
Strawberry has a home in
Tampa, Fla where the arrest
occurred. He has been getting back
into playing shape following colon
cancer surgery last October and has
wanted to resume workouts at the
Yankees' minor league complex
there.
Yankees general manager Brian
Cashman declined comment
before the Yankees 7-4 win against
Toronto. After the game, the
Yankees players and coaches had
little to add.
"I ain't no lawyer, I don't know
anything about it said Don
Zimmcr, interim manager.
In an unusual arrangement
designed to avoid baseball's luxury
tax, the team signed him to a minor
league contract and a consulting
deal during the offseason, a
package worth $2.5 million.
New York advanced Strawberry
money due him under the consult-
ing deal but stopped the advances
after his arrest, several sources
familiar with the arrangement have
said on the condition they not be
identified.
Strawberry's lawyer, Joseph
Ficarrotta, said his client intends to
plead innocent to the charges of
cocaine possession and solicitation
of a prostitute. A hearing date has
not been scheduled.
Strawberry was arrested a few
miles from the Yankees' extended
spring training camp. The eight-
rime All-Star wB charged with pos-
session of 0.3 grams of cocaine and
solicitation for offering an under-
cover female officer $50 for sex. He
was released on a $6,000 bond.
Strawberry said the cocaine
found wrapped in a $20 bill inside
his wallet did not belong to him.
And while he acknowledged dis-
cussing sex with the undercover
officer, he insisted he was joking
and did not intend to meet her at a
motel.
Strawberry has a long history of
drug and alcohol problems and run-
ins with the law, including a convic-
tion on federal tax charges.
He hit .257 with 24 homers in
101 games for the Yankees last sea-
son. Strawberry is not on the 40-
man roster and has not traveled
with the team this season, except in
spring training.
Former bookmaker Doyle
warns athletes on gambling
EUGENE, Ore. (AP) - The mes-
sage to the assembled University of
Oregon athletes -as to the point.
"If you're dumb enough to gam-
ble said former bookmaker Joey
Doyle, "at least le smart enough to
know what you're up against
So in a one-hour session, Doyle
presented his case against gam-
bling, from the inside knowledge of
someone who spent 15 years taking
bets and profiting from the busi-
ness of wagering, whether on sports
or casino games.
"What makes you guys suscepti-
ble is you're very talented, you're
the best at what you do, and you
were taught to win Doyle told the
members of the UO football and
men's basketball team. "Those
same characteristics that make you
successful as an athlete make you
vulnerable to gambling, and that's
why you've got to be more careful
Gamblers assume they can
come out ahead, Doyle said, before
he presented examples of how "the
house" always profits, whether it's
organized crime, corporations that
own casinos or state governments
running the game.
"I can't believe it Doyle said
of the state of Oregon. "You kids
can't go buy a hot dog without trip-
ping over 15 lottery machines
Doyle said that while govern-
ments "tell you state lotteries are
good for education, good for the
economy, good for the environment
what they don't tell you is that fot
every $1 that goes in, 50 cents is
gone immediately" and not paid
out to the gamblers.
He also said that betting on
sports events, whether legal or not,
could be compared to flipping a
coin and trying to predict the out-
come, with money at risk.
"If you call it correctly, I pay you
$10 Doyle said. "If you don't, you
pay me $11
The presentation began with a
short video that included excerpts
from several news reports on gam-
bling by college students, and
Doyle said he had been astonished
when he made a presentation at
Nebraska and found out how wide-
spread betting was among stu-
dents.
"You've got to understand the
risks you take Doyle told the ath-
letes, explaining that even for a $50
wager with an illegal bookie, a bet-
tor could face prosecution. "If you
end up with an arrest record,
understand what that means to
you.
Doyle also spoke about betting
scandals involving teams at
Northwestern and Arizona State.
Most attempts to rig the outcome
of events, he said, are arranged by
"dummies because "the mob
doesn't want fixed games" and
often lielps expose the crime.
While taking bets, Doyle said he
recalled only three athletic events
that he "took off the board mean-
ing he refused to accept more
wagering. His mob boss had infor-
mation that all three had predeter-
mined outcomes, he said, including
a 1988 Olympic men's basketball
game involving the United States.
Mike Bcllotti, the UO football
coach who attended the session
with his players, said the purpose of
the session was to let "athletes hear
our concerns from different
sources. I can't get their attention
the way somebody who has been in
the business can
TH incidents at Northwestern
and ASU and a recent probe of
UCLA athletes allegedly in contact
with possible gamblers show
"those things are there
Bcllotti said. "It's prevalent and
we all need to recognize those
predators are out there. I think it's
our duty to educate our athletes to
the potential harm that can be done
and to the futility of gambling
Collins to plead no contest
on DWI charge, pay $100 fine
(AP) - Quarterback Kerry Collins,
who is starting a new phase 01 his
NFL career with the New York
Giants, plans to plead no contest
Monday to driving while impaired
in November.
Attorney George Laughrun said
Collins doesn't want to fight the
charge.
"Kerry said, 'I made a mistake. I
want to pay my price. And I don't
want to be treated any different
than anybody else. I want to get
this behind me
Laughrun said. "I wanted to try
it. But that's his call not mine
Collins will not be in court for
the trial in Mecklenburg District
Court. Laughrun will enter Collins'
plea.
Defendants pleading no contest
don't admit guilt but also don't
challenge the charges. They are
sentenced as if they pleaded guilty.
Collins, 26, likely faces a $100
fine, the maximum monetary
penalty for a first DWI conviction.
He was signed in February by the
Giants to a four-year, $16.9 million
free-agent contract after being cut
by the New Orleans Saints.
In March, Collins said alcohol
had played too much a part in his
life, though he had not been diag-
nosed an alcoholic.
"My focus right now is to try and
be the best quarterback I can be,
and alcohol plays no part in that
Collins told reporters after signing
with the Giants.
"It's not going to play any role in
my life
Collins has been working at the
Giants mini-camp.
Collins was arrested about 1 a.m.
Nov. 2, just hours after being taunt-
ed by Carolina Panthers fans. The
Panthers' first-ever draft choice in
1995 had returned to Charlotte
with his new team, the Saints. He
had the team's permission to stay in
the city after the Saints' 31-17 loss
to the Panthers.
A state trooper reported that
Collins' car had weaved and
crossed the center line.
Collins refused to take a breath
test at the Mecklenburg County
Jail. He acknowledged his guilt'
later that day.
"I broke the law. It's a matter of'
taking what's coming to me he
told the Charlotte Observer.
