Florida recount
begins as
candidates wait
MIAMI, Florida
(CNN)-GOI' presidential
nominee George W. Bush
cautiously claimed vic-
tory Wednesday, even
though his narrow lead in
Florida-a crucial electoral
state-was stuck in limbo
pending a vote recount.
His Democratic rival,
Vice President Al Gore,
gave a brief statement this
afternoon in which he
urged "respect for the rule
of law as Florida officials
began carefully counting
ballots again.
"We now need to
resolve this election in a
way that Is fair and forth-
right, and in a way that
is fully consistent with
the Constitution and our
laws Gore said. "Because
of what is at stake, this
matter must be resolved
expeditiously, but delib-
erately and without any
rush to judgment
Bush, the Texas gov-
ernor, has a 1,784-vote
lead over Gore in Florida.
Because the lead is so
narrow, Florida's election
officials, by law, enacted
a mandatory recount
Wednesday. The recount
must be completed by the
end of the business day
Thursday.
"Because of the close-
ness of the presidential
election, an automatic
recount as provided by
law is currently under
way Florida Gov. Jeb
Bush, the Republican pres-
idential hopeful's younger
brother, told reporters
Wednesday afternoon.
"We thought it would
be close Jeb Bush said.
"Never in my wildest
dreams did I imagine it
would be this close. I have
the greatest confidence in
the independently elected
bipartisan group of coun-
try supervisors of elections
that exist all across our
state
Four Florida counties
reported the first recount
results Wednesday after-
noon, with only a slight
change indicated for the
vice president, who picked
up 23 votes among their
combined tallies.
"This morning brings
news from Florida that
the final vote count
there shows that Secre-
tary (Dick) Cheney and I
have carried the state of
Florida George W. Bush
told reporters Wednesday
afternoon. "And if that
result is confirmed by an
automatic recount as we
expect it to be, then we
have won the election
"We have to make sure
the outcome is finalized
as quickly as possible
he said, adding that the
situation reflects on the
"strength of our democ-
racy
Bush promised that he
would work hard to gain
the confidence of Gore
voters.
A county-by-county
recount had begun by
Wednesday afternoon,
and election officials said
they would release results-
as they received them.
The Electoral College
and ultimate victory for
either Gore or Bush is at
stake.
In Washington, Pres-
ident Clinton, newly
returned from New York
after first lady Hillary
Rodham Clinton's vie- .
tory in that state's Senate
race, said the continually
unfolding events sur-
rounding this year's presi-
dential election should
quash any notion that
individual votes are not
significant.
"If ever there was a

tance of exercising democ-

Counterfeit investigations pending Bond referendum passes
Two illegal bills used;
different locations, same night
Lex Wilson
STAFF WRITER
Six days after the arrest of ECU's back-up quarterback
Richard Alston, both the Greenville and ECU police
departments are continuing their investigations into
whether another incident involving a counterfeit bill
is related to Alston.
Alston was arrested last Thursday after attempting
to pay for a meal with a $100 counterfeit bill at the
Burger King drive-thru on 10th Street and Greenville
Boulevard.
More details regarding the events leading up to
Alston's arrest have surfaced. According to Burger
King's restaurant manager, who refused to be identified
for this story, Alston drove up to the drive-thru at
approximately 8:45 p.m not at 11:30 p.m. as originally
reported by Greenville Police Department (GPD).
"We were just about to finish up an event with
the Phi Mu Alpha fraternity, which was scheduled
to end at 9 p.m when the incident took place the
manager said.
The manager said the window clerk, non-student
James Price, was following restaurant procedure when
he rejected the $100 bill Alston used to pay for his
meal.
"Burger King's policy entails that any currency
$20 and above are to be handed to a manager for
approval, always the manager said. "Our employees
sign a contract prior to hiring that if they do not get
currency approved and it turns out to be counterfeit,
they are responsible for repaying the full amount to
Burger King
The manager also said the counterfeit bill felt the
same as a genuine $20 bill that he approved five days
prior to the Thursday night incident. After Price took
the $100 bill and passed it to the manager, Alston was
told that the bill did not look genuine. The passenger
in Alston's vehicle then gave Price a genuine $20 to
pay for the meal at which time Price told them it
was policy to hold the vehicle until police arrived.
Alston, waited for approximately 20 seconds before
driving away.
Price took down Alston's license plate number and
reported the incident to the GPD. "The $100 bill
looked real Price said. "I didn't think that it was fake.
The only thing about it was that it felt very similar to
wallpaper-sort of slick
Alston has since been released on a $5,500 unsecured
bond.
Another incident involving an attempt by an
individual to pass a counterfeit $100 bill occurred
around 11:45 p.m. the same evening in the Galley
dining area in Jones Residence Hall on College Hill
Drive. Police have not given any information yet
regarding a suspect.
"The ECUPD along with the GPD are still trying to
determine if the two incidents are related by running
down all relevant leads said Capt. Frank Knight of the
ECU Police Department (ECUPD). "The investigation
is still ongoing and several law enforcement agencies
are coordinating on the investigation
According to the FBI, counterfeiting money is a
federal offense. Both the FBI and possibly the U.S.
Treasury Department could be participating in the
investigation, however, Knight would not confirm
this.
"I can not offer this information being that the
Investigation is still pending Knight said.
Alston could not be reached for comment.
Anyone with information regarding this incident
should contact the Greenville Police Department at
830-3937.

ECU to receive
$190.6 million
Nancy Kuck
ASSISTANT NEWS
EDITOR
The long awaited
$3.1 billion Higher Edu-
cation Bond- Referen-
dum was passed on
Tuesday with the sup-
port from the North
Carolina voting com-
munity. ECU's share
of the bond is $190.6
million.
At the close of the
election, 75 percent of
the state approved the
bond referendum, in
Pitt County, 82 per-
cent agreed that a ref-
erendum was needed to
improve our universi-
ties facilities.
The bond will pro-
vide the much needed
renovations and con-
struction of academic
facilities on the 16 Uni-
versity of North Caro-
lina (UNC) campuses
and various commu-
nity colleges.
Portions of the
bond's money are allo-
cated to ECU and other
UNC institutions faced
with the prospect of
50,000 additional stu-
dents expected state
wide over the next 10
years.
Receiving the third
largest share of the
bond referendum, ECU
will facilitate the money
toward completing the
current construction
of the new Science and
Technology Building
adjacent to the Howell
Science Complex.
The preparation site
for the main infrastruc-
ture of the building
was recently completed
with the $7 million ini-
tially allocated by the
N.C. General Assem-
bly.
"We are totally
elated and the next
thing we have to do is
go through a process to
get permission to pro-
ceed with the construc-
tion of the building
said Austin Bunch, assis-
tant to the chancellor.
Advertisements for a
contractor are projected
for mid to late Decem-
ber. ConstrucUon is pro-
jected to begin by the
middle of spring semes-
ter. The projected com-
pletion date is 2003.

Congratulations ECU and
North Carolina voters! Students
at ECU will benefit significantly
from the new bond.
Among campus renovation
and conversion of current facili-
ties for academic use, repairs
and expansion of the campus
infrastructure and improvements
in classrooms and laboratories
will also take place.
The Brody School of Medicine
will receive much-needed addi-
tional library and study space to
accommodate current and future
enrollment growth in Health Sci-
ence programs as well.
SGA did everything possible to
help campaign for the bond. We
distributed stickers and campaign
literature to all
campus organi-
zations, sent a
letter to every
ECU North Car-
olina parent,
had voter regis-
tration drives,
spoke on WZMB
91.3 FM, spoke
to campus orga-
nizations, hung MnSMOl C. AhO
posters, made SGA chief OF staff
banners and all
in all, got the word out!
With the passage of this bond
Tuesday, ECU now has the potential
to become a strong contender in
both national and global academic
programs. All degrees will be worth
a little more now-so, thank you
for your help in passing these
?bonds.
In legislative matters, the
following campus organization
constitutions were approved:
Airwaves (umbrella media orga-
nization), Pirate Bridge Club
and ECU Student Athletic Train-
ers Club (which will provide
all student athletic trainers the
kills needed for their training).
Additionally, 14 new stu-
dents were sworn into their
respective legislative seats. The
legislature still has seats open,
so if you are interested in filling
one of these, please stop by
Room 255 Mendenhall and fill
out an application.

bring victory to the Democratic
ticket.
But if that is not the case, Gore
campaign chairman William Daley
said, "Vice President Gore and
Senator (Joe) Lieberman are fully
prepared to concede and to support
Governor Bush if and when he is
officially elected president
Gore overtook Bush in the
national popular vote tally by 1
percentage point, 49 percent to 48
percent.
Officials in Florida said all the
precinct ballots and all the absentee
ballots had been counted in all 67
counties with the major exception
of overseas absentee ballots. Now
all the votes will be recounted
by supervisors from all counties,
with representatives from the news
media and both candidates pres-
ent.
Election officials said either
the number of overseas absentee
ballots or a change as a result of the
recount could tip the election for
Bush or for Gore.
It is also possible that one can-
didate could win the Electoral
College vote and the other win
the popular vote, which hasn't
happened in a hundred years.

BOND from page 1
"It is just so exciting said
Chancellor Richard Eakin. "I truly
believe the191 million is probably
one of the best things that has
happened to ECU in many years
Other buildings and laboratories
that will receive renovation include
the Flanagan, Belk Allied Health,
Speight, General Classroom, Austin,
Rawl and Rivers buildings. A new
Health Science library will also be
constructed. Construction will take
six years to complete.

OUR VIEW
The suspense is mounting and our country is held in abeyance. After
a long night of watching the networks play guessing games with one
another, we still have absolutely no clue who the next leader of the
free world will be.
There are pathetic speculations whining, and thick, smog-like opinions.
What is going on? Everyone is confused Electoral what! Why are the
numbers different on each station? Percentage this, percentage that! Drip,
drip, drip Last night we watched a jigsaw map of our country flash blue
and red across our TV sets, and anchor people with plastic faces were
supposedly telling us "the truth?"
We all went to bed, woke up, and over Frosted Flakes and a cup of joe,
we picked up this intense novel where it left off. Still no winner, still no loser.
Something about losing this and not gaining that, lost numbers here, forgot
to smile there, and something is rotten in the state of Florida!
All we want to know is when are these candidates going to pick up
those dilapidated signs of their faces littering the road? What a bunch
of eye-sores!
Until the time comes for them to pick a number and stick with it, the
networks will still keep us enraptured.

IN MY OPINION
Why I voted for Gore
A IN MY OPINION
Some dating traditions need to persist today
It's funny how people change
over time. As we grow and mature,
we will see different perspectives
and the way we view the world will
change. Our outward appearances
and the actions we take will then
change. It's like a cycle.
Traditions change and people
grow. I'll never forget the quote,
"Things don't change by and by.
People do This is true and can
be applied to any aspect of life,
especially dating.
For example, one thing that has
changed through generations are
the people who we'd want to date.
Modern guys are very different from
their ancestral men as a whole. In
the past, going on hearsay, a guy
was much more polite and really
knew how to treat his lady. He
respected her and her ideals more
than those in present day. He would
court and woo her, bringing her
flowers, writing her poetry and
whispering sweet nothings in her
ear.
She wouldn't have to worry
about whether or not he had ulte-
rior motives, because he probably
wouldn't be that straightforward
about his physical attraction to
her.
On the other hand, the ladies
then were always pristine and
seldom, if ever, wore pants. Their
skirts and blouses would never
show too much skin, but rather
just enough. Their hair was always
done nicely and only a few pieces
of jewelry were worn as to keep
the nice delicate appearance. Their
hands would be well-manicured
and little or no make-up would be
worn.
She'd never be caught calling
her man a "cheatin' dog" because
he'd have no reason to look else-
where, or at least it was remotely
heard of. Very few had premarital
sex back in this (what may seem
like) ancient time of dating because
they viewed sex as a union between
two people who believed they'd
be together forever. The point is,
many things that are happening
now probably happened back then;
they just knew how to keep their
mouths shut.
But now, everything is different.
We are loud when telling others
about our lives. Many of us don't
care about being judged by others so
we let it all hang out, literally speak-
ing. Many of us don't care that if
something we say is misconstrued,
it can hurt someone's feelings or
seem obscene to another's innocent
ears. Many girls don't watch their
language when talking to other
females and are vulgar in talking
to guys.
Girls now tend to be more bold
with their language. They don't
hesitate in using profanity around
anyone except for maybe their
preacher and their parents. They'll
ask a guy, "You want a piece of
me?" in the blink of an eye and
depending on what he says, she
may tell him to come on. That was
unheard of 50 or more years ago. It
would have been seen as rude and
unladylike.
Generally speaking, the dating
game today is typically mostly
physical, whereas in the past it
was more emotional. Don't get me
wrong, there are many emotions all
of us deal with when we're dating
that special person, but that's not
all our feelings are based on. That's
why your parents freaked out when
you said you were, or they caught
you, sleeping over at your boyfriend
or girlfriend's house. They weren't
allowed to do that, unless they
disobeyed their parents or snuck
out.
Not only is dating now really
physical, but a lot of mannerisms
from the past are eliminated in
modern dating. Most guys usually
don't even hold doors open. To
those that do and don't let them
slam in our faces, thank you. Many
don't pull out a chair for their
date to sit down and just figure she
can get it on her own. Many don't
bring flowers, or even call to say
they're sorry when they've done
something wrong.
They either act like it never hap-
pened, make you feel guilty even
If it wasn't your fault, or never call
back. Many guys feel that because
women are so independent, they
can pay their own way out on out-
ings. Women don't want the man
to do everything for them all the
time. But now and then, the gesture
is what's important, and believe
me, she'll notice and appreciate
you even more for it.
Girls, leave something to be
desired. Don't wear clothes so
revealing he has nothing left to
fantasize about. You want to keep
things exciting, but not too much.
Overall, boys and girls, realize
that even though both sexes have a
lot in common, we're very different.
It would be nice to carry over some
traditions now and then. When
we're in any kind of relationship,
friendship or intimate, we like to
feel appreciated.
So the next time you go to stick
out your mouth, unless you have
good reason, remember it takes
more muscles to frown. So smile,
and give him something to wonder
about.
Try doing something different
and unexpected for a change. Try
going back, looking at the tradi-
tional dating of the past and apply
it to today. You may just end up
with the results it seems like you've
been waiting forever for. ,
Who did you vote for? I'm sure
that is the topic of most conversa-
tions as the first presidential elec-
tion of the new millennium comes
to an end. Some will turn away,
reluctant to reveal their voting
choices, some will sneer at the
thought of anyone actually voting
for Nader and then there are some
who will look at you and say, "elec-
tion?" I made my vote for Al Gore
and 1 am not afraid to tell you
why.
This being the first election that
I was able to vote in, I decided early
on that I was going to follow the
candidates, the debates and the
issues, and then logically make my
decision. Unfortunately, it did not
take that long.
I tried my hardest to ignore the
character flaws that were waved
around about Bush, such as, the fact
that he was an alcoholic, that he
comes across as being unintelligent,
and that he reportedly told the
Queen of England, at a dinner at
the White House during his father's
administration, that every family,
including hers, had a black sheep.
Yes, this could have all been
overlooked, if only he had a reason-
ably strong platform to stand on.
Nader, in my opinion, was the
lost candidate of this election. He
had the issues and the solutions
to many problems, but for some
reason he just,couldn't get the
backing.
I would have seriously voted for
Nader, If this wasn't such a close
election, but I don't think that I
would have been able to live with
myself if I voted for Nader and Bush
won the election. Therefore, I voted
for the close second to Nader.
The main reason that I voted
for Gore was because of his belief
that women's issues are important.
Being a woman, I feel that it is
very important that the person I
elect to make the rules which we
live by, has some sort of respect
for me, as an individual and as a
woman. Gore is for a women's right
to choose, an issue that has caused
many debates between religious
and political persons for a long
time.
I, however, am not looking at
it as a religious issue, but simply
as a freedom that should not be
controlled by a bunch of politi-
cians. I am not saying that I agree
or disagree with abortion, but is
it really fair to make such a life
changing decision for someone?
The other reason that made
me vote for Gore is his standing
on environmental issues. Over the
years, Gore has proven that he is
a prevalent advocate for the pres-
ervation of our environment. He
intends to combat such problems
as, pollution, deforestation and
global warming, and this is not just
talk to get votes. During the Clinton
administration, he played a big part
in legislation for conservation and
plans to contest global warming,
which is something that should be
a great concern for people world-
wide.
He also plans on preserving
the undeveloped land nationwide,
unlike his counterpart, who wants
to destroy acres of natural, undevel-
oped land in Alaska for a quick solu-
tion to a natural resource problem,
and then worry about it later. I'm
sorry Mr. Bush, wrong answer.
In addition to this, Gore
clenched my vote by standing (or
such Issues as, making tougher gun
control laws, giving tax cuts to
those people who are actually in
need of them and by possessing
strong skills in foreign policy. He
has proven, in the past eight years,
that he has the experience, the
knowledge and the leadership that
it takes to bring the United States
in the next millennium.
After all, do we really want
someone who can't pronounce
supposably correctly, making
deals involving nuclear fire arms?
Although I do not yet know who
has won the election, while writing
this opinion piece, I feel that my
first presidential vote was given to
a well deserving Al Gore.

iumoU IN MY OPINION
Bush butchers the English language
aw9. tucuoa IN MYOPINION
The day the music industry died
Baylor U.(U-WIRE)-It's about
time a member of the recording
industry stopped trying to fight
technology and started working to
keep up with It.
Bertelsmann media company
announced last week its intention
to team up with Napster and start
charging users for the right to swap
music files online.
In doing so, the company,
which owns BMG and sells records
by Whitney Houston, Kenny G and
Britney Spears, showed how the
Internet will become a legitimate
medium.
In joining with Napster, Ber-
telsmann broke ranks with most
of the recording industry which
had rejected Napster.com with its
bootleg recordings as a threat to
artists' rights.
These artists and industry execu-
tives were fighting a losing battle
against the dawning of the Digital
Age. The music industry simply saw
Napster as an illegitimate parasite
that robbed artists of the royalties
that were due to them. They saw
Napster as a competitor.
Many universities, including
Baylor, followed the music indus-
try's lead. Baylor's announcement
this fall to ban access to Napster
from university computers arose
in part out of fears of legal action
against Napster and the sites that
allowed access to it by the recording
Industry.
Rational thinkers realized that
even if Napster were forever banned
from cyberspace, the technology
would not cease to exist. Copycat
Web sites could and already have
begun to create online communi-
ties similar to Napster. Napster
made it popular, but the Internet
I made it possible.
The challenge was to find a way
to seize the technology and use it
to the benefit of the industry.
BMG did that.
With this new plan to charge
users about a $5 fee to trade music
files every month, the companies
have added accountability to the
technology's possibilities. There's
no such thing as a free lunch, and
there shouldn't be any such thing
as free music.
Oklahoma Daily (U-W1RE)
NORMAN, OklaThis is Preserva-
tion Month. I appreciate preserva-
tion. It's what you do when you run
for president. You gotta preserve
explained George W. Bush to a
group of New Hampshire elemen-
tary students during Perseverance
Month. That's P-E-R-S-E-V-E-R-A-
N-C-E.
Over the last year we have come
to love little Dubya for his uncanny
ability to make a fool of himself at
any given moment. We watch in
amazement as he stumbles, fumbles
and bumbles, attempting to regur-
gitate lines fed to him by countless
advisors, speechwriters and ex-
presidents. And what will Bush
gain from his exceptional lack of
intellect? Probably the presidency.
It's depressing to think that this
pathetic scion of one of America's
most powerful families will be
representing us as the leader of
the free world for the next four
years. But surely Bush makes up for
his lack of intelligence with other
qualities, right?
Well, let's see. Maybe it's his
homespun west Texas philosophy
that makes him so durn likeable.
Like he said at a South Carolina
oyster roast, "We must all hear the
universal call to like your neighbor
just like you like to be liked your-
self
That's like some of the most
likeable words I have ever heard.
Leave it to Dubya to screw up the
golden rule. And he's supposed
to represent the Christian right.
Shame on him.
Maybe it is his sound political
ideals that keep Bush atop the polls
then.
"If you're sick and tired of the
politics of cynicism and polls and
principles come and join this cam-
paign said Bush at a rally in Hilton
Head, S.C.
Well, I know I'm fed up with the
poliUcs of principle. What business
do principles have interfering in
political campaigns anyway?
Bush is a strident proponent
of education, though, and that
can't be overlooked. Like he so elo-
quently pointed out on a campaign
stop in Florence S.C, "Rarely is
the question asked: Is our children
learning?" Well, let's hope they are,
if only to correct your grammatical
aberrations, Governor.
It seems during the debates
that Bush got a real surge in the
polls especially with the undecided
voters. So maybe his uncanny skills
in the art of forming sound argu-
ments compel us to him.
During the last of this year's
three debates Lisa Key asked, "How
will your tax proposals affect me as
a middle-class, 34-year-old single
person with no dependents?"
Gore answered first by giving
the specifics of how his plan would
benefit taxpayers at lower income
levels. Gov. Bush then began by
saying Gore's tax breaks, education
and elder care benefits would "cost
a whole lot of money, a lot more
than we have
Dubya then proceeded down
his usual slippery slope of pretzel
logic by finishing his answer as
follows, word-for-word:
"I think also what you need to
think about is not the immediate,
but what about Medicare? You get
a plan that will include prescrip-
tion drugs, a plan that will give
you options. Now, I hope people
understand that Medicare today is
is is Important, but it doesn't
keep up with the new medicines.
If you're a Medicare person, on
Medicare, you don't get the new
procedures. You're stuck in a time
warp in many ways. So it will be
a modern Medicare system that
trusts you to make a variety of
options for you.
"You're going to live In a peace-
ful world. It'll be a world of
peace because we're going to have
a clearer clear-sighted foreign
policy based upon a strong military
and a mission that stands by our
friends-a mission that doesn't try
to be all things to all people. A
judicious use of the military which
will help keep the peace.
"You'll be in a world, hopefully,
that's more educated, so It's less
likely you'll be harmed in your
neighborhood. See, an educated
child is one much more likely to
be hopeful and optimistic.
"You'll be in a world in which-
rits into my philosophy. You know,
the harder work-the harder you
work the more you can keep. It's
the American way. Government
shouldn't be a heavy hand, that's
what the federal government does
to you. Should be a helping hand.
And tax relief in the proposals I
just described should be a good
helping hand
Any high school student run-
ning for class president would be
laughed off stage if they made
a speech as incoherent as this.
Bush Isn't running for president of
his class though, he's running for
president of his nation.

Dr. Linda Beatrice
Brown, the distinguished
professor of Humanities
at Bennett College in
Greensboro, N.C. will read
her own work on Thurs-
day, Nov. 16, at the Green-
ville Museum of Art.
Beatrice Brown will
have a "meet the writer"
session at 3 p.m. followed
at 7 p.m. by the reading,
reception and book sign-
ing. Admission will be
$3 for the general public
and $2 for students and
Seniors.
Beatrice Brown holds
the Willa B. Player Chair
in the Humanities, and is a
poet and lecturer. She has
written for such publica-
tions as The Black Scholar
and Religion and Intellectual
Life. She is also the author
of two novels, Rainbow
Roun'Mah Shoulder, Cross-
ing Over Ionian and a col-
lection of poetry, A Love
Song to Black Men.
"It is always interest-

hisher own work said
Randall Martoccia, English
professor. "The experience
uncovers things that a
reader wouldn't normally
get from just reading off
the page. Plus, at these
events the attendees are
able to probe the mind of
the writer by meeting with

experience
Her latest book, The
Long Walk, has been in the
works since 1992. It was
in that year, the current
president of Bennett Col-

the story of Willa B. Play-

Player's niece, Beatrice
Brown, during the first
year of her employment as
the Willa B. Player Profes-

Every day on campus, students pass dozens of
nameless faces. Some may smile, but some don't even
look. However, nearly all are truly special people. One
of those people is sophomore Miranda Morton.
As a student, Morton goes above and beyond to do
her best. As a person, she goes the extra mile to make
sure she recognizes students across campus and
greets them with a friendly smile. Originally from
Winston-Salem, N.C Morton came to ECU last year
to start on her degree in
"I love to volunteer and
give my time to others.

Miranda Morton
Sophomore
accounting. Her need for
extra money and her desire
to help others led her to
a job at the Mendenhall
Student Center (MSC) help
desk.
"It's a lot of responsibil-
ity Morton said. "People
depend on you to know
what you're doing. You can
never tell someone you
don't know the answer to
their question
Aside from answering the student locator phone
line and the MSC information line, Morton sells
bubble sheets, rents table cloths and reserves rooms
for student groups. She also fields numerous questions
from students, staff and visitors about MSC7s activities,
including the movie schedule.
"I worked hard to learn all of this information
Morton said. "You have to be an unlimited source
of knowledge
Aside from her work at MSG, Morton is also a
member of the Society of National Collegiate Scholars.
"1 really thought getting a fob wouldjriake it harder
to maintain my 3.6 GPA But actually I am cToing better
Morton said. "I have had to learn time management,
which has really helped me keep everything in order. I
think anyone who hesitates to work or even volunteer
their time shouldn't be afraid of risking their grades.
You have to challenge yourself and believe in yourself.
Not only does this prepare you for the real world, but
it makes you a stronger person
Morton spends her extra time as a math tutor and
volunteering for Habitat for Humanity.
"I love to volunteer and give my time to others"
Morton said. "It gives me confidence to know I'm
helping others as much as I can
She tries to encourage her younger sisters to achieve
all that they can.
"1 want to support them in everything her sisters)
do Morton said. "My mother was my biggest support
and I feel it really helps to have someone who believes
in you. I try to encourage everyone I know because
people need to hear that every day. 1 don't know what
I would do without my family and most especially my
best friend Alisha, who is the nicest person you will ever
meet. I make every effort to let them know how much
they have helped me to become the person I am
"Miranda works the busiest hours of the day and
she does her job well said Sharon Wilson, information
desk supervisor. "All of my students work very hard.
A lot of them actually trained Miranda. We all enjoy
working with Miranda. She is very dependable and
dedicated
"I love my job because the people I work with are
so friendly and helpful Morton said. "I wouldn't
be half as good at my job if it weren't for the other
students I work with
There are thousands ol outstanding students at ECU
and Morton is just one of them.
Her smile, positive attitude and genuine concern
for others has helped her to achieve all that she has.
"I don't like being singled out because I feel that
everyone has something terrific that makes them
special Morton said.

SPORTSBRIEFS
Simms named All-CAA
ECU midfielder Clyde
Slmms was named to the
All-CAA second team. The
team is selected by the
league's coaches.
Simms is the 11th ECU
player to be named to the
team and the first ECU
freshman to be named to
the team since 1992.
Simms leads the team in points with
10 and assists with four. The Jamestown,
N.C. native also added three goals this
season.
"I am very excited that Clyde has been
recognized as one of the top players in the
conference said ECU Head Coach Devin
O'Neill. "It's not easy to make an all-con-
ference team in a strong conference like
the CAA. Clyde has made a good transi-
tion from high school to college soccer
and he has done a great job for us this
year
Furcal gets
NL Rookie honors
Atlanta Braves
shortstop Rafael Furcal
was named the NL
Rookie of the Year
Tuesday. Furcal cap-
tured 25 of the 32 first-
place votes.
Furcal batted .295
and notched 40 stolen
bases in his rookie campaign. He also
scored 87 runs, hit four home runs and
had 37 RBIs.
NHL lengthens
McSorley suspension
NHL Commissioner
Gary Betteman agreed
to keep former Boston
Bruins enforcer, Marty
McSorley off of the
ice for another three
months.
According to the
Commissioner's ruling,
McSorley will be suspended until Feb. 20.
The date is one calendar since the player's
vicious slash that sidelined the Vancouver
Canucks' Donald Brashear.
McSorley was convicted on assault
charges stemming from the incident in a
Vancouver court earlier this year.
Manuel named
AL's top skipper
Chicago
White Sox'

Manuel was
named the AL
Manger of the
Year. Manuel
received 25
first-place votes and got a total of 134
points.
Oakland A's manger Art Howe finished
second with 74 points.
Manuel's White Sox went 95-67 and
earned their first post-season appearance
since 1993.
The run was made more remarkable
by the fact that the team did so with a
$37 million payroll, the 21st highest in the
league.
Championship
fight Saturday
Lennox Lewis will put
his heavyweight title on the
line Saturday in Las Vegas
when he takes on Samoan
challenger David Tua.
Lewis enters the bout at
37-1-1 with 29 knockouts.
Lewis' last two fights have
failed to get past the second round.
Tua, the native of Samoa who resides
in New Zealand, enters the bout at 37-1
with 32 knockouts. Tua packs power, but
many insiders think it will not be enough
to handle the arsenal of the champion.

SPORTS EDITOR
ECU's final home game
of the season Saturday
versus Houston conies in
the midst of trying off-
field distractions, a tense
conference race and a sud-
denly muddled bowl pic-
ture.
The Pirates will take
the field for the first time
since their 16-13 loss to
UAB two weeks ago. The
loss dropped the Pirates
out of the Conference-
USA title race and com-
plicated the Pirates post-
season possibilities.
The game was played
in front of the smallest
crowd to see a game in
Greenville this season.
During the following
off week, backup quarter-
back Richard Alston was
arrested for trying to pass a
counterfeit $100 dollar bill
at a local Burger King. He
was then suspended from
the team indefinitely.
Saturday's game gives
the team an opportunity
to erase any
of the bad
memories of
the past two
weeks as
well as a
shot at a
winning
season and
a bowl bid.
"The
coaches, the
players, everybody's
enthused, we know we've
got to win this game
said safety Antwan Adams.
"This game means a lot.
We'll have a winning
season, be eligible for a
bowl game after this game.
So there's a lot on the
"This is a have-to deal.
We're ten points away
from being a top 25
team. We can't afford
any more mistakes
Following the loss a
month ago at Memphis,
the team had no margin
for error when it came
to a chance at a conference
title. Currently, the Pirates
are still walking the tight-
rope, a second place in

"This is a

points away from being
a top 25 team. We can't

"It's a big game said
quarterback David Gar-
rard. "If we go out and
win this one then we'll
probably be assured of
a bowl game. We defi-
nitely need to go out and
win this one and win the
rest of them and turn
our season into a positive
one
With the suspension
of Alston, the Pirates will
have to go with one quar-
terback for the first time in
almost two years. Alston
has had an appearance
in every game so far this
season.
"Well I'm not happy
to take all the snaps
Ciarrard said. "I would
like to have somebody
to come in and get them-
selves some reps. But I'm
happy to do what ever the

Swimmers sweep CAA foes
Women top William
5r Mary, men beat ODU
Ryan Downey
SENIOR WRITER
Hie swim team had an undefeated road trip this
weekend. Both the men's and women's teams picked
up wins over Old Dominion and William & Mary
respectively. The great performances kept the men's
swim team undefeated at 5-0 and pushed the women
to 4-1.
"This past weekend we were just ecstatic said Head
Coach Rick Kobe. "To go on the road for the second
consecutive weekend and come away 4-0 is awesome.
On Sunday we just swam very well for a second day.
The team we swam against (William & Mary) didn't
have a meet Saturday so they were rested
The men's team is starting off better then last year
when after five meets they were 4-1 and 2-1 in the
conference. Their depth gives them an edge on the
road that they didn't have last season.
The road is becoming a comfortable place for these
Pirates. The men swam strong against ODU and were
able to win the meet before the last race, making the
final event a 400 freestyle relay nothing more then
high stakes victory lap.
"We've got a real deep team this year said
sophomore Chris Miller. "I think having all of these
fast guys really pumps us up
The team will face what could be their toughest
opponent this Friday at the Minges natatorium when
they will be taking on the NC State Wolfpack. The ACC
Power will be bringing a very athletic and talented
team.
"It will definitely be our toughest meet said Miller.
"They have a lot of powerhouse swimmers on their
team but I think we have more depth. It will be the
fourth and fifth place finishers that decide the meet
for us
The women's team Is reloading after a great season
last year. After splitting two meets last weekend they
were able to put together two strong performances this
weekend and take a sweep on the road.
The women had a tough time, against ODU on
Saturday, having to finish first and third in the final
event to pull out the win. Sunday the women and the
men were able to take 10 of 13 events from William St
Mary. The women's team which is heavily loaded with
freshmen and sophomores is coming Into its own.
"Our team is really young this year as far as lots of
freshmen and sophomores said freshman Meghan
Dunaway. "That helps because as the training gets
harder we are all going to go through it together. We
help each other out inside and outside the pool
Ages didn't matter this weekend as the team came
together when It counted against ODU. The women
needed great performances and they got them from
everybody.

Freshman
Jessica Krasny
has had a solid
first season, (file
photo)
Standing at only
5-foot-4inches, one
would think this golfer
would not be that
intimidating. But after
one swing of her club,
her presence is felt.
This is no ordinary
golfer.
Jessica Krasny, a freshman on the ECU
women's golf team, has been playing golf since
she was 10 years old. Her dad would take her
out on the course and spend hours hitting golf
balls. He then decided to start signing her up for
some local tournaments. Since then Krasny says
her parents have been very supportive and try to
come to most of her tournaments.
Krasny, who is from Summerville, S.C started
playing in tournaments after just a year of
playing. She won her first individual title in
Charleston, S.C. at a local tournament. Since
then, Krasny has developed a passion for the
game, and a world of potential.
She says the one memory of playing golf
she will always remember is breaking par for
the first time.
"It was at the Surf Club in Myrtle Beach, S.C,
I hit the ball really well and shot a 67 overall
Krasny said.
Krasny says the one part of her game that
she works on the most is her putting. She goes
out on the course for about three or four hours
a day practicing her putting and hitting range
balls. She also says sometimes she practices up
to 60 hours a week. All of this practice will be
necessary though if she plans to reach some of
the goals which she has for herself.
"I would love to win an NCAA tournament
title someday Krasny said. "My ultimate goal
though would be to
" would love to win an
NCAA tournament title
someday My ultimate
goal though would be to

Jessica Krasny
Freshman, ECU Golf
turn pro. I think that
would be exciting
Krasny attended
Bishop England
High School in
Charleston. Recruit-
ers from the College
of Charleston, Wof-
fard College and
the University of
South Carolina were
all interested in
Krasny coming to
play for them.
Krasny though decided to come and play for
ECU after Head Coach Kevin Williams paid a
to visit.
"Jessica was very highly recruited out of high
school Williams said. "I think she was excited
that we were starting a first year program
Everything has started out great for Krasny
in her first year. The coaches on the team have
been very happy with what they have seen.
Assistant coach Sally Hammel has been very
impressed.
"Overall she has been very productive and
consistent Hammel said. "We could not be
more pleased to have her on our team
Williams mentions the kind of impact she
has had on the team.
"She is in the top 100 in the country Wil-
liams said. "She has also finished in the top 10 in
four of our tournaments this year
After deciding to come and play for the golf
team, Krasny went to play at a tournament this
past summer. She played at he Serrano Golf
Course in California.
"It was the best course that I have ever played
on Krasny said. "The course was in great
condition. They really spend a lot of time taking
care of the course
The coaches on the team have been very
happy with what they have seen. Hammel has
been very impressed.
"Overall she has been very productive and
consistent Hammel said. "We could not be
more pleased to have her on our team
There is a life outside of golf though for
Krasny. She is currently majoring in communica-
tions and says she would like to become involved
in journalism sooner or later. Krasny also enjoys
swimming and surfing at some of the local
beaches around Charleston. She loves to watch
golf on television as well, and says her favorite
golfer is Fred Couples. But reminds everyone
though, that the majority of her time is spent
on the golf course.
Krasny has played very well on a golf team
that has seven freshmen and only one junior. Do
not be surprised If the name Jessica Krasny pops
up on a women's pro tour .someday.
