Researchers at the ECU School of
Medicine have discovered differences in
how chronic and acute alcohol consump-

by the National Institutes of Health, Dr.
Abdel A. Abdel-Rahman, ECU professor of
pharmacology, found that in female lab
rats, estrogen buffers the negative impact
alcohol has on the cardiovascular system.
Abdel-Rahman and ECU physiology profes-
sor Robert Lust, who assisted in the
research, have more details about what
their research could mean for women,
especially those considering hormone

NEWS EDITOR
As hurricane Dennis bears down
on the east coast, ECU is prepar-
ing to warn students of any
changes in the university's sched-
ule.
ECU's Environmental Health
and Safety office cooperates with
other campus departments to con-
stantly update emergency action
plans based on previous disaster
events.
"In each event we go back and
reassess what we did said Tom
Pohlman, environmental manager
of ECU Environmental Health
and Safety. "What we could have
done better and what might have
helped to try and implement
those changes
Before Dennis started causing
weather problems on Monday, an
alert system e-mail was sent out to
all students through the university
e-mail accounts.
The e-mail warned students to
close all windows, lower all blinds
and not leave cars parked near
trees.
The alert also gave students an
alternate means of keeping up
with any delay or cancellations the
university might incur.

Governor Jim Hunt recently
appointed Jim Talton to ECU's
Board of Trustees.
Talton, a member of the
Foundation Board of Directors and
the University Scholars Campaign
Executive Committee, currently
holds many influential positions at
ECU.
"I am very excited to be working
with ECU's Board of Trustees
Talton said. "I hope I will be able to
assist ECU to progress to the next
level
Hunt appoints only four of the
12 board members, while the Board
of Governors appoints the other
eight.
Hunt appointed Talton to
replace former BOT member,
Walter Williams.
Williams resigned from the
BOT on April 20, after he made an
objectionable racial comment dur-
ing a Pirate Club banquet in
Wilmington, NC.
"Jim ' Hunt's involvement in
ECU's Board of Trustees is mini-
mal said Dr. James Smith, execu-
tive assistant to the Chancellor and
associate secretary to the BOT.
"The function of the Board of
Trustees is to help chart the future
and set a course of where we want
to go as a university said Layton
Getsinger, associate vice chancellor
of Administration and Finance.
"I am very pleased about the
learning process of the board. I
have not had a great amount of
exposure, as of yet, since we have
not had our first meeting said
Michael Kelly, who is also new to
the BOT.
"I have been given a good
overview by the board about what
goes on at ECU. The board is a
group that varies in age and experi-
ence. I am looking forward very
much to serving my four year
term Kelly said.
"I deal mainly with student
affairs said Betty Speir, the only
female currently serving on the
BOT. "I have thoroughly enjoyed
working with the board. I am very
excited about working with the

Pirate Underground gets new look
Students have mixed

Freshly painted murals are the newest additions to the Pirate Underground.

The Pirate Underground in
Mendenhall Student Center has a
new look.
The once white-washed walls
are now covered by a richly detailed
mural. The artwork was done by
Kymia Nawabi, a second semester
freshman art major. Her concentra-
tion is on drawing and painting. She
was selected to do the mural by the
Popular Entertainment Committee
through an ad in The East
Carolinian. She brought in many
samples, and a few made it onto the
walls. The largest frame of the
mural is a copy of a sketch she com-
pleted her senior year in high
school.
The windows painted onto the
walls feature some of the characters
that occur frequendy in her art-
work. Her overall theme for the
mural was multi-cultural expres-
sion.
Nawabi was paid $500 for her
work, and all of her supplies were
paid for.
She started the mural two weeks
after Spring Break, and finished
three weeks into the summer.
This project was 100 percent
student developed and run.

Scientists benefit

Physicists use

CotRiNKV Martin
STAFF �int�
The physics department is using a
tandem Van De Graaf accelerator to
identify artifacts from Blackbeard's
ship, the Queen Anne's Revenge.
When the State Department of
Cultural Resources needed to
examine 50 artifacts from what sci-
entists believe to be the Queen
Anne's Revenge, they called the ECU
department of physics. The depart-
ment's accelerator happens to be
the only one of its kind in the state.
J A piece of copper from beneath
the barrel of a cannon from the ship
was the first artifact to be tested.

1718, the accelerator did allow
them to learn what went into the
making of the metal itself.
The process works in multiple
steps. First, the artifact is placed in
a vacuum container. It is then blast-
ed with a beam of accelerated pro-
tons which cause the atoms in the
various elements of the metal to fly
off in a scattering of x-rays. These
x-rays then help scientists to deter-
mine which elements are present.

grade and become part of the
healed skin.
The new three-layered dressing,
developed by NCSU textile
researchers, increases the healing
rate and protects the wound from
bacteria and other infections.
Some members of the research
team presented their discoveries at
the 218th American Chemical
Society's national meeting Monday
in New Orleans. Researchers
include former master's student
Allison London Brown and profes-
sors Bhupender Gupta, Sam
Hudson and Alan Tonelli.
According to Hudson, a NCSU
textile professor who has done
research on the topic for more than
12 years, the innermost layers of the
bandage are metabolized by the
body. These layers are composed of
chitosen, which is a natural fiber
extracted from shellfish and
refined. The anti-fungal compound
is commonly used in medical fields.
The new dressing incorporates
layers of chitosen and synthetic
polymers under a gauze layer. The
degradation of chitosen is benefi-
cial to the growth of skin cells.
The chitosen film protects the
wound from bacteria but allows
moisture to pass through, according
to Gupta, NCSU textile professor.
Regular bandages are made of
cotton fibers, which do not break
down and therefore cannot assist in
the formation of new tissue. In the
new dressing, only the outermost
layer need be removed and discard-
ed, as the inner layers biodegrade
and become part of the healed skin.

Advances in HIV treatment
PITTSBURGH (AP)-Oniy a
handful of medical centers around the
world are willing to transplant organs in
HIV-positive patients a controversial
procedure both in terms of medical
success and societal acceptance.
But surgeons at an international
liver transplantation conference Friday
said much of that could change as
aggressive new therapies like the. so-
called AIDS "cocktail" allow people
infected with HIV to live longer.
"As far as I'm concerned, they're all
patients said transplant surgeon Dr.
Nigel Heaton of King's College
Hospital in London, where four HIV
patients have been given transplants.
"I don't believe in social reasons for
exclusion
What he does want is data-hard
numbers that will prove or disprove the
theory that transplants can help people
infected with HIV
Key to HIV transplants is finding
patients who are heakhy enough to
qualify and are willing to take care of
their new organs once they get them.
Another key is controlling hepatitis
C, which is often found in HIV patients
and invariably reinfects the new liver
once it has been transplanted.
At this point, there is very little data
on transplantation tor patients infected
with HIV, the virus which causes
AIDS, and no papers have been pub-
lished, experts said. Only recendy have
a select few surgeons performed the
procedure knowingly, although there is
some historical data from before
patients were checked for HIV infec-
tions.
"People think we're crazy for doing
it said Dr. John Fung head of the
University of Pittsburgh Medical
C inters transplant center.
But early indications show that liver
transplantation is effective in reversing
the complications of end-stage organ
failure in some HIV-positive patients,
Fung said.
He presented findings at the con-
ference on four HIV patients who
underwent the procedure between
September 1997 and March 1999.
In all the cases, the liver transplants
reversed the distinguishing characteris-
tics of chronic liver failure, including
fluid retention, muscle wasting, fatigue
and jaundice. HIV traces remained
undetectable with patients who contin-
ued the drug combination with pro-
tease inhibitor and none developed
opportunistic infections, Fung said

ECU physicists have noticed

Dr. Larry Toburen, director of
the Physics Accelerator
Laboratory, said that while the
machine has not been able to pos-
itively identify the ship as
Blackbeard's, the information
might be useful to historians who
have researched the making of
metal in Europe and other places.
The tandem accelerator is used

though.
It is also used by many other
people in the University. A geolo-
gy graduate student used the
machine to look at mineral sam-
ples. The School of Medicine
uses it to examine the trace ele-
ments in the blood of cancer
patients. Biologists study the ele-
ments in fish bones and archaeol-

The dressing protects the

is removed often, as most are, the
fibers become embedded in the

Another advantage of this

that the film is clear, which allows
the wound to be observed without
having to remove the bandage,

Education secretary warns
of Y2K effects on student aid
(U-WIRE) WASHINGTON�
Education Secretary Richard Riley
said many colleges and universities
are not ready for the expected Year
2000 computer crisis and that stu-
dent-aid delivery may be affected
unless improvements are made.
Because older computer systems
are programmed to only read two
digits for the year, many computers
will be set back to 1900 at the turn
of the millennium. Experts are
undecided whether this worldwide
problem will have disastrous or
minor effects on life in January.
The secretary said 40 percent of
college respondents do not expect
to have their mission-critical sys-
tems, computer systems which are
necessary for student aid alloca-
tions, in place until October. He
also said he was disappointed that
only iZ percent of schools respond-
ed to the survey. Riley said a fol-
low-up survey will be sent directly
to the schools' chief officers.
Terry Hartle, senior vice presi-
dent of the American Council on
Education, said he believes the
computer problem will not have as
much of an impact as Riley fears.
He said the survey in which the
education department released
only used a very small sample and
said the results may be flawed
because the survey was distributed
in the summer. But, he said the
issue of fixing computers on college
campuses is complex.
The Department of Education
received high marks recently from
a Congressional subcommittee
reviewing the government's pre-
paredness for the Y2K computer
problem. According to Riley,
because student aid programs rely
on data partnerships with the col-
leges and universities it serves, it
cannot be sure information flow
will not be affected.
In fact, the Education
Department's inspector general
said colleges and universities were
at "high risk" of being unprepared
for delivery of student-aid informa-
tion. Riley said only 22 of the more
than 5,800 schools have tested their
student-aid programs against the
department's software.

OPINION!
.RYAN

ouwiew
The new murals in the Pirate Underground area of Mcndenhall are the
subject of controversy, but we at TEC believe that ECU's students should
be encouraged to display their talents as much as possible.
Since the Pirate Underground, now in its third year running, has found
a permanent home in the Mcndenhall billiards room, students have been
able to sec great bands for free in a smoke-free, alcohol-free environment
So why not spruce up the billiards room with home-grown artwork as well?
During the spring and summer semester, the Pirate Underground paid
Kymia Nawabi $500 to paint a mural with the theme of multi-cultural
expression in the area of the room where the bands perform.
It's the best way to complement the student-run program, which usual-
ly draws an enthusiastic crowd. And, it adds an atmosphere to the room that
most students can appreciate.
The project also gave an ECU art student the chance to build her port-
folio, while detracting from the institutional monotony of the room's once-
whitewashed walls.
Student artwork is a good investment for the University, and benefits
both the artist and the patron with a quality piece of art that both can be
proud of. Even if you don't like the Pirate Underground murals, you can
appreciate the creativity that went into them. Besides, they're great con-
versation pieces.
The Pirate Underground is a wonderful venue for student bands and
solo artists who want to perform, but it still has yet to break into the down-
town scene. It is, however, a great place to meet new friends, take a load
off and shoot some pool, all the while supporting a student-run organiza-
tion.
Check out the Pirate Underground at least once this semester, if only to
lookat the new murals. Show your fellow students that you care about what
they're doing for your school. You might like what you sec.
The next Pirate Underground presentation will be the Mike Plume
Band, Saturday, Sept. 11, at 10 p.m. Call Information at 328-4763 for
details. Admission is free to students.

tafawcr me this: why bother? What
da people see in AOL? I aimed on
for my free trial month once and
only thing I even remotely
! about it was the e-mail. Other
than that, I saw nothing of value.
Then, a friend of mine came to
me and said, "Ryan, chatting is
where it's at You can meet so many
interesting people, and they never
have to know that you are a geek
And so, I signed onto my
account, my arms open to the good
people of Coolville. I clicked on the
space marked People Connection,
and there I was in a chat room filled
with interesting people.
Since this was my first chatting
experience, I decided to just watch
for a few minutes to get a feel for it.
It occurred to me that each one of
these people must have signed
onto their accounts with hopes that
it will soothe the massive head
wound they are obviously suffering
from. The only thing these people
could say was "hey everybody" and
"this room sux. C-ya
Figuring that I was in the
Lobotomy Room, I decided to go
into a specialty room. They were all
full for the most part, so I sifted
through and found a room called
High Priests. I entered and was
immediately involved in a heated
argument over the Trinity.
Tempers were flaring, then all of a
sudden, a guy called Venom223
entered the room with the standard
question. "AgeSex?"
Most people ignored the guy,
but one kind-hearted soul named
SisMaric replied and said "24, K"
Venom223 replied with, and I
quote, "Let's get it on SisMaric
replied with "Sorry, I'm a nun
Venom223, not taking the hint,
replied with "Hey SisMaric, let's
go to a private room
As I have said before, this was
my first time in a chat room.
However, I do not need a cyber-
dictionary to figure out what a pri-
vate room is for. It's the Internet
stud's Motel 6, which, in conjunc-
tion with the optional vibrating
keyboard, I'm sure can provide for
a highly erotic rendezvous.
SisMaric left the room at once,
again foiling Venom223's plan to
fulfill his dream of hooking up with
a young and attractive nymphoma-
niac nua It was then that I knew
that chat rooms were not for me. I
feel that they are silly and decep-
tive, not to mention highly unorga-
nized. I have no clue as to why peo-
ple would want to spend countless
hours talking to these people, many
of whom are probably not even the
gender that they claim to be.
And so, I propose that all AOL
users take one day out of their
week to stay away from their com-
puters. Go outside and play. Climb
a tree. Do whatever you want, just
don't go near AOL. While you arc
all outside, maybe I can finally get
through to check my e-mail.

Gun control debate rages on
Gun controls, restrictions and
laws are topics that never seetn
to filter out of the media or
political arena.
Gun controls, restrictions and
laws are topics that never seem to
filter out of the media or political
arena. It is such a sensitive topic and
is becoming more so in light of the
recent tragedies that took place in
the Colorado and Georgia schools.
Everyone agrees that those inci-
dents were absolutely horrible, and
that the homicide and accidental
gun death rates in the United
States, compared among other
countries that have tougher restric-
tions, is much higher.
Tragic deaths and higher rates
are undeniable to both sides of the
issue. Those wanting more exten-
sive and comprehensive restrictions
assert that these new policies will
lower death tolls, and reduce gener-
al violence in America. Those
opposing any new governmental
controls deny that this proposed
effect will occur, while reminding
lawmakers of American's right to
bear arms. To properly address the
issue, three questions have to be
answered in deciding an
approach�if any, to this never end-
ing debate on gun control.
First question: Is it possible to
ban or further restrict the possession
or use of guns? The second amend-
ment in the Bill of Rights clearly
makes the provision to "bear arms
Yes, this right was written in a dif-
ferent time, but nonetheless, it is
still explicitly there. Altering and
bending the Constitution to suit
interest groups and public outcry is
a very dangerous practice.
Restricting gun possession even
further is where the bulk of the
debate lies, though. This brings the
issue to the second question.
If legal restrictions are enacted,
is it really possible to change the
societal view and handling of guns
now? Even if strict gun control laws
are made, there enforcement would
prove to be near impossible which
would almost have a reverse effect
Think about prohibition for a
minute. Admittedly, countries like
Canada and England, who basically
prohibit gun possession, have very
low crime incidents involving guns,
but their whole society has never
been exposed to the ability and
atmosphere without those laws.
Legislative bodies can make new
laws, but they can't make people
feel, think, believe and thus behave
differently just by passing restric-
tive policies. Thinking that laws
alone will change behavior
overnight is unrealistic.
Thirdly, would new laws really
curb violence in the schools and on
the streets, since these problems are
the ones that fuel the gun issue's
fire? If it were for some reason, pos-
sible for legal and societal changes
to occur, this would neither stop
psychotic little children from shoot-
ing guns in schools, nor would it
stop gangs and drug dealers from
shooting each other, as well as inno-
cent bystanders. It is insane to
believe that "normal" children
commit violent acts just because
guns exist. If that were the case,
then there would be a multitude of
school shootings, and this may be
news to some, but drug dealers do
not mind breaking the law. Thus, a
law limiting or banning ownership
of guns because of people who
would break the law regardless is
ridiculous, and would ultimately
prove to be ineffective.
Whether or not gun control
restrictions should be made masks
the real point; those restrictions will
not remedy the problem. It's too
late. Despite the legal obstacles,
society is already locked into a cer-
tain mode that laws can't realistical-
ly alter.

OPINION!
LETTER TO
EDITOR
I just want to express my disap-
pointment for the fact that the
ECU baseball and softball teams
were not awarded championship
rings for winning their respective
titles. These two teams displayed
true athleticism this past season,
and deserve much more than a ring.
According to the grapevine, nei-
ther team will be receiving a cham-
pionship ring for their dedication,
hard work and true Pirate aggres-
sion. Instead, each team will have
to go on knowing that their own
athletic department does not sup-
port them as much as they should.
Whatever happened to giving cred-
it where credit is due?
The baseball team was national-
ly ranked week after week, and
after winning the Colonial Athletic
Association conference tourna-
ment, traveled to Baton Rouge, as
the number one seed. They then
defeated former national champion
Louisiana State University in the
NCAA regionals. The softball team
did exactly the same by winning
the Big South Tourney title and
achieving automatic berth in the
NCAA tournament
I surely think that these Pirates
need this unfortunately buried trea-
sure�championship rings for a job
well done!

am to see Chris Sach's article on

It is nice to know that you don't
have to be in the 'majority' to pub-

oughly enjoyed reading it I never
thought that a Southern university
like this one would ever publish an
article like this, and it is very pleas-
ing to me that your paper let the
minority' state an opinion like this
one. All last year I wanted so badly
to write and article like the one
Chris wrote, but I never thought
that in a million years it would be
allowed in the paper. I am glad that
I was wrong.

Stress overwhelms students
Healthy Iking reduces
tension, daily pressures
MlCIIAKI. KlHlAKIIS
ST AFP WKITKK
Stress, that feeling that pressures
people to get things done on time,
also rushes students through their
lives and experiences.
As students gradually settle down
into the college groove, they begin
noticing things about their minds
and bodies that perhaps they haven't
noticed before. There is an empti-
ness that is sometimes caused from
the separation from one's parents,
friends and familiar surroundings as
well as an inner voice of discontent
brought about by the unfamiliar
locale, strange Faces, new rules and
regulations, and most of all sched-
ules.
As students meet new friends and
become acquainted with their new
neighborhood, many of these
uncomfortable feelings dissipate and
they learn to relax. Before they know
it, students actually begin to enjoy
the new freedoms of being indepen-
dent. From time to time, there will
be feelings of the need to pull your
hair out, yell at somebody, "pop a
pill or throw a roommate's stereo
across the room because of stress.
There are many kinds of stress,
such as that which occurs from a loss
of a parent, friend or pet, but there is
a particular type of stress found in
the college atmosphere. This mon-
ster comes from all sides�brain
drain, bad relationships, bills, dorm
life, alcohol, cigarettes, illegal dnigs,
STDs, neighbors, poor diet, lack of
Pr
��aseS"
If
parking and roommates; the list is
endless. For the most part, students
manage to plow through these
dilemmas with little difficulty.
Occasionally, several of these stres-
sors accumulate beyond control, and
a person "loses it"
Numerous books and articles
have been written on how to handle
stress. One such article appeared
recently in ParadeMagazine entitled
"Let Goof Stress It begins witht
the realization that no matter whef
you are or where you are, stress is
a part of life.
L.W. Winik defines stress asl
"the body's reaction to a perceived
threat. Adrenaline and hormones are'
released, and the nervous system is
activated, sharpening the senses.
Simultaneously, pulse rises, i
muscles tense, and the.
immune system
shuts down
The article gives
10 ways to overcome
stress:
I.) Plan ahead,
ask questions if
unsure of direc-
tions, deadlines,
expectations oi
responsibilities.
2.) Avoid
gossip and!
negative peo-
ple.
3.) Seek out people who are
cheerful and who can provide
encouragement and a pep talk.
4.) Set priorities and esrablish rou-
tines.
5.) Focus and refocus your objec-
tives and goals.
6.) Understand that your job is not
you, and learn to separate your job or
your hectic
schedule from
your life.
7.) Reward
your accom-
plishments but
don't go over-
board.
9.) Set aside time to play.
10.) Change your scenery.
"People who can't relieve daily
stress may experience fatigue, upset
stomach or frequent headaches
Winik said.
"Long-term stress, however, is
aeven more dangerous leading to
tmily breakdowns, chronic
health problems high
blood pressure, memory
loss, accidents and
written about the very basis of good
emotional, spiritual and mental
health which starts with a good atti-
tude. It's improbable, if not impossi-
ble, for a person to maintain a good
attitude if they torture their body
with the wrong input, such as too
many toxins like fatty foods, alcohol,
tobacco, sugar and salt.
Smoking does not aid the body in
any way. If a person doesn't smoke,
they shouldn't start It makes a per-
son look 30 when they're 20; it
makes them stink, causes lung can-
cer and numerous other physical
problems, and creates a tremendous
amount of stress in the body.
A person should drink plenty of
unchlorinated water, and get at least a
t moderate amount of exercise each
j day.
The more exercise a person gets,
on the average, the happier and more
relaxed they feel.
According to a 1997 study from the
Journal of Health Education, a smok-
ing male who does not exercise has
nearly a 40 percent chance of dying in
mid-life.
Another tip to controlling stress is
to "learn to differentiate what you can
control in your life and what you can-
not according to Dr. Betty Staub of
the ECU Health Promotions Office.
Learn to ignore the everyday irrita-
tions. As Far as what one person can
control, everyone should learn how to
recognize these irritations and deal
with them.
The first sentence of M. Scott
Peck's book, The Road Less Traveled,
begins, "Life is tough The most suc-
cessful athletes, actors and other pro-
fessionals have learned to use stress
successfully. Learn to change bad rou-
tines before they become bad habits.
Eat well, exercise, smile and be
happy.

Local groups benefit
from NC Arts Council funds
State programs
receive necessary grants
l! hookic Potts
srup WHI ILK
As part of a state-wide effort to
bring fine arts programs to the pub-
lic, each year the NC Arts Council
awards over $6 million in grants to
local organizations.
These non-profit groups range
from small grassroots organizations
to large programs such as the ECU
Summer Theater. To support the
1999-2000 season, the University
has been awarded almost $12,000
to fund three separate projects.
"The variety of programs that
the NC Arts Council supports
demonstrate the far reaching
effects of public money said
Miriam Sauls, Communications
Director for the NC Arts Council.
"Through the programs at ECU
and others across the state, we are
bringing the arts into the heart of
many communities
ECU has received grants to fund
three projects. The East Carolina
Summer Theater was awarded
$4,000 to support ongoing projects,
and the Writers Reading Series
received $3,000 to support its 1999-
2000 season. In addition, the ECU
Gray Gallery received $5,000 to
support an upcoming exhibit enti-
tled "Pychromatics: An
International Symposium on
Colour in Wood-Fired Ceramics
Each of these groups were
selected from among 552 appli-
cants. In order to be eligible to
receive a grant, they had to demon-
strate that the money was going to
support quality programs that will
benefit the entire community.
Each received money from a differ-
ent anistic category for application.
These categories include literature,
performing arts, folk life, artists in
schools and communities and
music.
"In order to be eligible for the
grants, each organization has to
meet our criteria and then be
approved by a panel which deter-
mines the final award amount

Art professor, family exhibits work in gallery

The Student Union Visual Arts
Committee kicks off another
eventful year with a new art exhib-
it located in the Mendenhall
Student Center Gallery.
(Billingsley )3 features the works of
ECU associate professor and head
of the sculpture department, Carl
Billingsley, his wife, Catherine and
their son, Benjamin.
"The Visual Arts Committee
liked the idea of a family of artists
working together said Lee
I loward, chairperson of VAC. "It is
a positive disposition to promote. It
also shows a diversity of the art)
media
Each member of the Billingsley
family contributed pieces from
their respective concentrations.
"We're all pretty focused on our
own primary means of expression
said Carl Billingsley.
Professor Billingsley's concen-
tration resides in sculpting and cast-
ing; Catherine is primarily a
weaver, focusing a lot on pattern
and color, their son Benjamin char-
acterizes himself as a painter.
Although three different medi-
ums are exhibited in (Billingsley).V
these artists have managed to com-
bine them into a beautiful show.
"We thought the colors in.the
weavings would go well with
(Ben's) paintings Catherine
Billingsley said. "Carl filled in the
spaces with his pieces on the
pedestals
One piece that immediately
catches the eye in the gallery is
Catherine's "Twist and Shout
Color" weaving.
"I worked on 'Twist and Shout
Color' for several months
Catherine Billingsley said. "(The
piece) is based on the Fibonacci
number system, where each unit is
the sum of the two previous units.
It creates a pleasing quality when
you look at the patterns
Catherine Billingsley is also
working on another idea called
"Name Draft" which incorporates
different types of codes into her
weaving.
(Billingsley)3 is displayed in Mendenhall's Gallery
PHOTO ST WILLIAM KEITH
"I will take a name or a phrase,
apply the appropriate number to
the letter and develop a distinctive
pattern from that system
Catherine Billingsley said. "The
messages are encoded into the
weavings and it has significance for
each person
"With the coding process, each
name and phrase will result in a
unique pattern Carl
Billingsley said.
An example of a
name draft is in
Catherine's work
entitled "Self
Portrait which is
composed of her
name. This piece can
be viewed at the
Gallery.
Tonight, from 6
p.m8 p.m the
gallery will have its
closing reception of
the exhibit.
"This is our first
reception of the
year said Howard
Billingsley. "There
will be a nice spread
of food, and the artists
will be there to speak
with interested parties
Also, for any art collectors out
there, some pieces in the
(Billingsley)3 exhibit are for sale. If
interested, contact either Carl
Billingsley at the art department or

Committee.

The difference in college and
high school classes is considerable,
not only in difficulty and length,
but in flexibility.
"Well I'm taking 16 hours this
semester English, geography and a

really like the 50 minute classes
instead of the hour and a half ones

great to be able to make your own
schedule with breaks in between

Part of the freshman experience
is also the communal eating estab-

ties.

experience was what we expected
it to be or not, we can only hope
that future freshmen at ECU have
as good of a time as Lucian has had
so far.
Lucian Cobb is a freshman music
major, with a concentration in jazz
studies, and in a candid interview
he shared his experiences so far as
a rookie Pirate.
Cobb is from Havelock, NC, so
Greenville isn't too far from home.
"The first thing I noticed about
Greenville and the University is
that the people are a lot nicer than
in other places Cobb said. "I felt
like I was a part of the University

Not only is moving to a different

ence, Cobb also had to move into a
dorm, which is an experience all in
itself.
"Moving in went off without a

simple and the staff was very help-

Kevin McMullan, former assis-
tant coach at St. John's University
for the past three years, has recent-
ly been named the new assistant
coach for the Pirates.
McMullan replaces Todd

well as the strength and condition-

Before taking any college
coaching position, McMullan was
among one of the top players in
the New York Yankees farm team
organization, in 1992 he was
named the Pioneer league Most
Valuable Offensive Player, and
was on the all star team in 1990.
Joining McMullan, is Tommy

Pirates for the past two years as a

I K IK K DaWVOT
ASSISTANT KI'OMTS KIIITI
Upon completing one of the most
challenging and successful seasons
in ECU baseball, head coach
Keith LeClair has set his eyes on
many new additions which will
take over where last year's team
left off.
LeClair and the Pirates have
signed 14 student athletes to its
2000 recruiting class. Among
them, there are 10 pitchers and
four position players. LeClair
hopes that these players will be
able to make an immediate impact
for the team and possibly help to
build the future of the team.
I think we certainly identified
our needs, which were mainly on
the pitching staff, and addressed
those concerns by bringing in
some good, talented young arms,
LeClair said. I think there are a lot
of quality kids in this class and
some real talent. As a class I think
they have a bright future and can
help get this program to the level
want to be at every year.
Not stopping at just a strong
and talented freshmen class, the
Pirates have also received three
other student athletes that have
transferred to ECU and are
expected to play during the 2000
season.
Justin Hyde, a senior transfer
from Clemson, Clayton
McCullough, a sophomore trans-
fer from Vanderbilt, prep standout
at J.H. Rose High in Greenville
and Kieran Mattison, a sophomore
transfer from the college of
Charleston will all join up to play
in the 2000 season.
"We are excited about about
Western Carolina University.
McMullan will be overseeing the
the recruiting duties as well as
working with the outfielders and
looking to improve hitting per-
centages for the Pirates.
"Kevin is certainly regarded as
one of the best
recruiters in the
Northeast region
and is extremely
hard working
LeClair said. "He
comes from a good
program and has had much
success recruiting there. He
also has head coaching
experience and will
make an outstanding
addition to our staff.
We are excited to have
him joining us as he-
knows the caliber of play-

As game time approaches, the
focus of the practices moves away
from conditioning and basic drills
and begins to focus on specific
problems posed by West Virginia
using drills with the scout team.
"Our defense has got to work

got one hell of a quarterback, Marc

It is also a time for some of the

Many times, fans feel as if they
have no say in what happens during
the game and for the most part,
they are right but for one fan this
wish has come true.
The man known as the student
voice of the Pirates, Bob Smith, for
the last three years, has broadcasted
for the Pirates home games on the
250 watt student radio station
WZMB. Students find his game
broadcasts entertaining because
Smith calls the game the way
everybody in the stands sees it
"It's really refreshing to hear
somebody who gives an honest por-
trayal of what is going on during the
game said Richard Chadwell, an
ECU junior.
"Many Students listen to the
games on headphones while at
Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium watching

the game. They say they enjoy the
all-out broadcast of the game
The thing that makes Smith's
broadcasts so different from the
other game broadcast provided by
the Pirate Sports Network is that
Smith holds no punches. While
many times established broadcast-
ers will soften mistakes made by
the team they are covering, Smith
gets right to the point.

that our listeners enjoy is that I call

THE EAST CAROLINIAN
Bulgpr looking for some personal gain this season
rVtORGANTOWN, W.Vfc. (AP)�
Billboards along state highways
remind motorists who drives the
West Virginia football team.
"On the Marc reads one.
"Must see QB says another.
Marc Bulger is definitely the
pilot for the Mountaineers' quest
for a fifth-straight bowl trip. And
the low-key Bulger, not one to put
himself before his team, acknowl-
edges he is looking for a bit of per-
sonal satisfaction this year.
Having been overshadowed by
Syracuse's Donovan McNabb his
entire career, Bulger has a chance
to overtake the departed McNabb
in career Big East passing yards,
adding to his 21 school records.
"That will probably be more spe-
cial, because West Virginia hasn't
been really known for its passing
M much said Bulger.
Bulger needs 2,747 yards to
reak McNabb's record of 8,389 set
ast season. Bulger has averaged
5,656 yards in each of the past two
easons and has three veteran
eceivers back to help.
More difficult, but still possible,
will be reaching McNabb's Big
Stist record of 77 touchdowns,
lulgcr needs 36, an average of
nore than three per game. But
with the loss of tailback Amos
Zereouc to the NFL, Bulger fig-
ures to be throwing a lot more this
season.
"He's definitely the best quar-
terback this school's ever seen
said center John Come, dismissing
such Mountaineer legends as
Major Harris and Jeff Hostetler. "I
mean ever. Forget anybody else.
Marc's the best. And that's all there
is to it"
"He's just got great composure.
He's not a rah-rah guy said Conte,
one of five new starters on the
offensive line this season, "I think
that's a big asset. When he speaks,
people listen to him
Coach Don Nehlen figures
Bulger has a good chance to reach
the records.
"Number one, we've given him
the opportunity to smash them
said Coach Nehlen, "If we hadn't
played the kind of football we
have, he wouldn't break them. And
number two, he has the ability to
break them. If I ran option football
with Marc Bulger, that would be
kind of stupid. He's an accurate
passer
Bulger also has the confidence
of his receivers. "I think the system
really helped him out said Pat
Greene. "Before there were only
two receivers. Now, we've got
three receivers, four receivers. The
tailback coming out of the back-
field. We've got so many different
weapons and different angles to
come at you with that it's hard to
defend them. And Marc's a good
quarterback. He's smart enough to
take advantage of that. It's hard for
defenses to pick up on that
Bulger has had hurdles every
year. "In high school, I wasn't
known he said. "I had two or

when I got here, I was too small.
Then my freshman year, I think it
was my back that was hurt. Then it
turned into my inexperience. Now
this year, it will be the loss of
everyone. It's .always going to be
something
Bulger agrees his experience
will be important to the
Mountaineers.
"I think I've learned a lot he

by so many seniors, that I pretty
much considered myself a senior

improve ever more. I'll have to,

Blocked punts cost Longhorns victory
i �
AUSTIN, Texas (AP)�There is
life in North Carolina State
University after Terry Holt. It's
just on the other side of the ball.
North Carolina State continued
its year of early-season upsets
Saturday night, using three
blocked punts and a stingy sec-
ond-half defense to pull out a Zi-
20 victory over No. 17 Texas in
the Black Coaches Association
Classic.
Terrence Holt, younger brother of
the departed All-American wide
receiver, blocked two punts that
were converted into touchdowns
for North Carolina State.
"I've never been associated with
a game in which we've won in this
fashion, with so many blocked
punts said NC State coach Mike
O'Cain. "It wasn't very pretty,
which is typical of a first game. It
had a magical ending.
"We emphasize blocking punts
and it paid off O'Cain said.
With the Wolfpack trailing 20-15
with 3:32 left, Holt sprinted in
from the right side to get a piece
of Ryan Long's punt at the Texas
48. Eric Leak, who blocked a
punt in the first half that led to a
safety, picked up the loose ball
and ran it in for the go-ahead
touchdown.
Quarterback Jamie Barnette
found Chris Coleman in the cor-
ner of the end zone for the 2-
point conversion and 23-20 lead.
"We had pressure from the out-
side, and I just took the right
angle and got to the ball Holt
said. "We knew that special teams
was going to win it
They had to. North Carolina
State's offense struggled all night.
Barnette, the ACC total offense
leader in 1998, was constantly
harassed by Texas pass rushers
and finished 9-of-26 for 65 yards
with one interception. The
Wolfpack gained only 171 yards.
Texas drove to midfield looking
for a possible tying field goal, but
came up short when quarterback
Major Applewhite was stuffed on
fourth-and-inches.
Texas played its first game in four
years without Division I-A career
rushing leader Ricky Williams.
Applewhite passed for 316 yards
and one touchdown and ran for
one score.
The Texas running game was a
pale comparison to a year ago,
however. Texas gained just 56
yards on 36 attempts. Backup tail-
back Victor Ike led the
Longhorns with 48 yards on. 12
carries.
"The only stats that mean any-
thing are the kicking game and
turnovers. It's a devastating loss
for our kids said Texas coach
Mack Brown. "You can't have
three blocked punts for 16 points
and win a ball game
NC State pulled off its third early-
season upset, in as many years,
after victories over Syracuse in
1997 and Florida State in 1998. It
also was NC State coach Mike
O'Cain's first victory over Brown.
O'Cain was 0-5 against Brown's
.North Carolina teams.
Despite its recent fortunes in big
early-season games, NC State
very nearly was victimized by its
own mistakes.
Texas changed consecutive
Wolfpack turnovers into a 10-0
first quarter lead, on a 2-yard run
by Applewhite and a 48-yard field
goal by Kris Stockton.
NC State shook off those mis-
takes on its next possession. Ray'
Robinson capped an 80-yard drive
when he broke outside for a 25-
yard touchdown run to make k
10-7.
The Wolfpack pulled to 10-9
when Leak recorded NC State's
first blocked punt. The ball rolled
31 yards to the end zone but three
NC State players couldn't pick k
up before the ball rolled over the
back line for a safety.
NC State made up for that mis-
take when Holt blocked a punt'
that Tony Scott returned 25 yards'
for a touchdown to pull the,
Wolfpack within 17-15 in the'
fourth quarter.

Wednesday, Sept. 1 @ 7:30 pm & Thursday, Sept. 2 @ 10 pm
A law school student (Matt Damon) loses his tuition money and
everything else he has saved in a high stakes poker game.
Learning his lesson (he thinks), he vows to his girl friend (Mol
Gretchen) to give up playing forever. That lasts until his best
friend (Edward Norton), a notorious card shark, is released from
prison and drags him back into the circuit to pay debts he has
incurred to a Russian mobster (John Malkovich). John Turturro
also appears as a career poker player and Martin Landau plays a
law professor who understands his student's need to be
something other than what is dictated to him.

THE EAST CAROLINIAN
Graf looks at life without tennis
NEW YORK (AP) Steffi Graf
came back to the V.ii. Open wear-
ing pumps instead of sneakers, a
sleek navy blue dress instead of
tennis whites, and a carefree smile
that revealed how comfortable she
is with her decision to retire.
These may be a time when Graf
will miss the game so much that she
wilt change her mind, lace up again
and grab her rackets.
"Right now she said Saturday
on the eve of the tournament she
won five times, "walking away"
seems extremely easy. I don't
know if that's going to be the
case in a few months
It seems so easy, she said,
because she has no regrets. She has
been playing professionally more
than half her life, from 13 to 30.
Her 22nd Grand Slam singles
title, the French Open in June, was
her most emotional and satisfying,
completing a journey back from
injuries and illnesses that nearly
ended her career before she was
ready to quit. She goes out now on
her own terms and unquestionably
as one of the game's greatest play-
ers ever.
"I feel pretty happy about leav-
ing it right now Graf said, two
weeks after announcing she would
skip the Open and retire from the
tour. "I know I'm going to miss the
competitiveness, without a doubt.
The working out. It's different
being on a bike or a StairMaster
instead of being able to run around
and be upset if you miss a shot or
be happy if you win it. But right
now, I'm not missing it. It may
sound a little strange, knowing me,
but in a way a lot of pressure has
gone and it feels good
Graf spoke at the National
Tennis Center on a beautiful, warm
afternoon after Pete Sampras,
Andre Agassi, Martina Hingis and
Serena Williams and others playful-
ly participated in the annual Arthur
Ashe Kids' Day.
A sellout crowd of 20,883 helped
raise more than $500,000 for chari-
ties, including $400,000 that will go
to the National Junior Tennis
League to help programs aimed at
inner city kids.

Get A Clue
The Scene: It was a dark and stormy night.
The Suspects: ECU students.
The Crime: Around Greenville, students sat alone in their
residence halls and apartments tormented by loneliness, boredom,
and questions.
The Investigation: One student had enough of all this
so she began searching for clues. She began her search
with the helpful folks in the residence hall. There
she was directed to attend "Get A Clue On
Life" sponsored by the Division of
Student Life. Get A Clue, she
learned, is an event at which
student organizations and student
service offices set up information
tables on Wright Plaza to showcase
their activities. Any interested
student can drop by on September 8
between 10:30 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. to
pick up information and win prizes.
The Criminal: Any student who misses Get A Clue.

Hits The
Campaign
If Dan Quayle and Al Gore can run for office, why can't I? I could be an SGA
legislator or even Class President! Then I would have a say on all that student
fee money. Maybe I could even have an intern under me. "Yes, Mr. President
"What can I do for you Mr. President?" "Will that be one lump or two in your tea,
Mr. President?" "Happy Birthday, Mr. President
It's not even that hard to get involved. All I have to do is to file the application
form at the SGA office in Mendenhall Student Center and pay the $10
refundable fee by September 3. Where am I going to get $10 from before
the first week in September? Mom! I'm sure she'd donate $10 to help her
adorable son run for President. Then its time to campaign before
the September 22 election. I can hang banners, hand out
fliers and buttons, and make campaign promises. I'll
promise students free parking, fight for a four-day
school week, outlaw homework when there is a foot-
ball game, and demand 15 cent wings at BW3's. I
love this! I can leave my legacy at ECU.
