Roads top city residents' concerns
Results from survey by
ECU professor, students
HOLLY O'NEAL
ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR
Information obtained by
ECU students about Greenville
residents' opinions of the city's
quality of life was presented to
city officials Monday night.
Ken Wilson, Ph.D sociology
professor, relayed the results of a
student-powered survey to the
Cireenville City Council. The
survey was commissioned by the
council to judge whether voters
would supxrl a Ixind referendum
that would fund road construc-
tion, downtown redevelopment,
a 45-block revitalization plan
and improvements in storm
drainage.
The random sample survey of
185 voters asked participants what
the most important city issue is
and whether or not they would
support related projects. Efforts
to develop Greenville's roads were
deemed the most important, and
82 percent of respondents said
they would support measures
toward that goal.
According to the survey, the
45-block revitalization project in
West Greenville and downtown
redevelopment ranked second
and third, respectively. The topics
switched in order of support, with
80 percent in favor of downtown
improvements and 65 percent
supporting the revitalization.
Wilson said the surveying
gave his students an opportunity
to measure real, important issues.
However, he told the council the
results were only a foundation.
"We're taking a snapshot
here - what we're showing now
is what people think today said
Wilson.

from the interviews that it's rock
solid
To pay for the bonds, which
could reach a vote in November,
the council may be forced to raise
property taxes.
About one-fourth surveyed
said 'no' to all property taxes,
while three-fourths said 'yes
though taxes raised above 7 cents
had little backing.
Greenville Mayor Don Parrott
said the survey's information was
"very valuable Comparing it to a
1990 survey, he noted Greenville
residents had changed their pri-
orities.

reation was a concern then, con-

trasted to 85 percent supporting
the issue in 2004.
In a separate presenta-
tion to the council, Chair of
the Greenville Chamber of
Commerce Henry llinton
requested $50,000 to bring the
eastern regional high school
basketball and football
games. The cost would fund
schools' traveling and related
expenses.
"frankly, from a visitor's
standpoint, sports is who we
are said Hinton.
llinton presented results of
a survey conducted by a UNC-
Chapel Hill professor measuring
the economic impact of two
football games on a city. Revenue
totaled $355,000.
llinton said hosting the high
school competitions could lead
to bigger things for Greenville
athletics.
"We've got to crawl before
we walk, walk before we run
llinton said.
llinton proposed the creation
of a sports authority, similar to
�those in Raleigh and Hickory, to
report to the City Council and
procure similar opportunities

Rather than relaxing after

"We were all just really

Members of Ticket One
said they hope to increase stu-

They said they plan to
accept resumes and have open
interviews for their cabinet
positions, instead of appointing
acquaintances.
"We want to send the

said.
Ticket One is currently plan-

They plan to speed up
SGA funding requests for
campus organizations by start-

they hope will take days to
process, instead of weeks.
They are developing a rela-
tionship with the Web site,
www.pickaprof.com, which
they hope will allow students
to accurately judge the quality
of potential instructors based on
their peers' comments.

Greenville begins changing water purification method
City will switch from
chloramines to chlorine
LATOVA D. TONEY
STAFF WRITER
Greenville's water supply
will undergo a few changes this
month to ensure quality.
Greenville Utilities began
changing the purification
method ol city water to chlorine
usage rather than chloramines
Sunday, but the process is not due
to be finished until May 2.
"People shouldn't be alarmed
about the changes said Barret
Lasater, plant manager of Water
Resources Department for
Greenville Utilities.
"This Upart of a normal pro-
cess in maintaining our system
and to make sure that we supply
safe drinking water to the cus-
tomers
Then may lea slight change in
the taste and color of the water. It
may have a bit of a chlorine taste to
it, but it is safe for drinking, bath-
ing, cooking and everyday use.
If there is discoloration in
the water, allowing the bathtub
faucet to run for 5-10 minutes
should clear up the problem.
Lasater said the only people
who need to take precau-
tions are those who are on the
kidney dialysis machines and
fish owners. Be sure to remove
all chlorine from machines and
aquariums.
Greenville Utilities also
started conducting "Operation
Spring Clean" Sunday, but this
process will not be complete
until June 11.
The operation will open fire
hydrants to clean the water dis-
tribution system. Residents are
asked to avoid washing clothes
during the period when their
lines arc being cleaned.
About 25 percent of U.S.
public water systems used chlo-
ramine for decades to disinfect
the water.
Chloramine is a disinfectant
agent consisting of ammo-
nia and chlorine that kills
potentially harmful bacteria and
viruses.
In December of 2002,
Greenville Utilities switched
from chlorine to chloramine
because chloramine lasts longer,
forms fewer disinfection by-
products and poses less health
risk than chlorine.
Under the new health
standards of the Environmen-
tal Protection Agency's Safe
Drinking Water Act, Greenville
Utilities is mandated to use a
treatment process to remove
contaminants that may have
been possible disease causing
microorganisms.
Because chlorine is a stronger
disinfectant, switching back to it
assures there is a proper disinfec-
tant being distributed through-
out pipelines.
The treatment process will
Consist of adding chemicals to
settle the water and a primary
disinfectant of Ozone to kill any
harmful bacteria or viruses.

his focus to domestic issues, saying
the administration has misled the
public about the economy, health

senator who is the presumptive

Young Children who watch TV may be
at risk of developing attention problems
CHICAGO (AP) � Research-
ers have found that every hour
preschoolers watch television
each day boosts their chances
- by about 10 percent - of devel-
oping attention deficit problems
later in life.
The findings back up previ-
ous research showing that televi-
sion can shorten attention spans
and support American Academy
of Pediatrics recommendations
that youngsters under age two
not watch television.
"The truth is there are lots
of reasons for children not to
watch television. Other studies
have shown It to be associated
with obesity and aggressiveness"
too, said lead author Dr. Dimi-
tri Christakis, a researcher at
Children's Hospital and Regional
Medical Center in Seattle.
The study, appearing in the
April issue of Pediatrics, focused
on two groups of children - aged
I and 3 - and suggested that TV
might over stimulate and perma-
nently "rewire" the developing
brain.
The study involved 1,345
children who participated
In government-sponsored
national health surveys. Their
parents were questioned
about the children's TV view-
ing habits and rated their
behavior at age 7 on a scale
similar to measures used in
diagnosing attention deficit
disorders.
The researchers lacked data
on whether the youngsters
were diagnosed with attention
deficit disorders hut the number
of children whose parents
rated them as having atten-
tion problems - 10 percent - is
similar to the prevalence
in the general popula-
tion, Christakis said.
Problems included diffi-
culty concentrating, acting
restless and impulsive,
and being easily confused.
About 36 percent of the
1-year-olds watched no TV,
while 37 percent watched one
to two boun daily and had a 10
percent to 20 percent increased
risk of attention problems.
Fourteen percent watched
three to four hours daily
and had a 30 percent to
40 percent increased risk
compared with children who
watched no TV. The remain-
der watched at least five hours
daily.
Among 3-ycar-olds, only
7 percent watched no TV, 44
percent watched one to two
hours daily, 27 percent watched
three to four hours daily, almost
11 percent watched five to six
hours daily, and about 10 per-
cent watched seven or more
hours daily.
In a Pediatrics editorial,
educational psychologist Jane
llealy said the study "is impor-
tant and long overdue" but needs
to be followed up to con! irm and
better explain the mechanisms
that may be involved.
The researchers didn't
know what shows the children
watched, but Christakis said
Studies say every hour preschoolers watch television, the risk
of developing attention problems increases by 10 percent.
content likely isn't the culprit.
Instead, he said, unrealistically
fast-paced visual images typical
of most TV programming may

Israeli ministers confront Sharon over withdrawal plan
JERUSALEM (AP) � Pales-
tinians might not get a state for
many years as a result of Israel's
unilateral "disengagement" plan,
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said
in interviews published Monday,
providing more details of his pro-
posal to withdraw from allot'the
Gaza Strip and four West Bank
settlements.
Sharon also said Israel is no
longer bound hy a pledge to
the United States not to harm
Yasser Arafat, saying the Pales-
tinian leader and the head of
Lebanon's Hezbollah guerrillas,
Hassan Nasrallah, are potential
targets for assassination.
The prime minister gave
wide-ranging interviews
to the Yediot Ahronot and
HaaretZ dailies, as well as
Israel Radio and Israel Army
Radio, ahead of the
weeklong Jewish
holiday of Passover, which begins
at sundown Monday.
Israeli security forces were
on high alert for the holiday,
with reinforcements deployed
at outdoor markets, malls
estlnlans and that he would nol
coordinate with them-an appar-
ent response to ultra-nationalist
critics who have accused him
of succumbing to Palestinian
violence.
"In the unilateral plan,
there is no Palestinian
state. This situation could
continue for many years Sharon

that the Palestinians would
lunneel all Palestinians from
entering Israel to try to ward
off attacks. The tight closure is
to remain in effect at least until
Israel's Independence Day, April
26, officials said.
Sharon said the withdrawal

settlement. However, he insists
he does not have a Palestinian

drawal plan is a ruse to trade
t iaza for a permanent grasp over
most of the West Bank. Sharon's
remarks Monday further raised
Palestinian suspicions.
"If he cancels the partner-
ship between us and the Israeli
government, then it's a deliber-
ate attempt by him to postpone
or delay the creation of the
Palestinian state said Palestin-
"fie Palestinians say they
welcome any withdrawal,
but that it must be coor-
dinated with them and be
carried out as part of the U.S
backed "road map" peace plan,
which envisions a Palestinian
state by next year.
The prime minister said he
plans to evacuate all 21 Israeli
settlements in Gaza and four in
the West Bank. He said a patrol
road between the Gaza Strip and
Egypt would remain under Israeli
control for the time being.
Sharon said he would seal off
Gaza after a withdrawal, at least
initially.
"At the moment, the plan is
to evacuate all the (Gaza) settle-
ments, to present the Palestin-
ians from operating ports and
to keep the border with Egypt
under our authority Sharon
told Yediot.
"In my opinion, it would be
best to disconnect from all the
territory
Sharon did not explain how
Gaza would function in such a
situation, lie said Israel would
continue supplying water and
electricity, but said the flow
might stop in the event of a
major Palestinian attack on
Israelis.
Spain makes another arrest in Madrid terrorist bombings
MADRID, Spain (AP) �
Authorities announced another
arrest in the Madrid terror bomb-
ings Monday and sent polite
to patrol subway and bus sta-
t ions, as a newspaper said a group
linked to al-Qaida threatened
to turn Spain into "an
inferno
Court officials said the
arrest came Saturday in Ceuta, a
Spanish enclave on the Moroc-
can coast. No details were
given on the ntan's identity
or possible role in the March 11
train attacks, which killed 191
people.
Another suspect whose week-
end arrest was also announced
Monday lias been released
after questioning, officials
said.
The arrest raises to 16
the number of people In
custody, including six charged
with mass murder.
Interior Minister Angel
Acebes confirmed Monday
that one of those killed in a
suicide blast Saturday In an
apartment south ol Madrid
was Moroccan lamal Ahnii-
dan, a prime suspect In the
bombings.
At least five terror suspects
are believed to have died ill
the explosion, along with
a special forces officer.
One of the suspected ter-
rorists has yet to be identified.
Sarhane Ben Abdelmajid lakhct,
a Tunisian believed to be the
overall leader ol the attacks,
was among those killed, Acebes
said.
Fear of more violence
prompted authorities to order
police to patrol the city's subway
and bus stations while civil guards
and army units continued . beck-
ing the country's rail system.
A subway station on a line
leading to the airport stopped
luggage check-in services as a
precaution.
Acebes said police found 22
pounds of dynamite and 200
detonators in the apartment
where the SUSpeCtS blew them-
selves up.

Our View
In February,
Seller claimed
that she was
attacked by
an unknown
assailant and
left uncon-
scious.
There is no
psychiatric
excuse for
this type of
desperate cry
for attention.
A missing college student, Audrey Seiler. was
found alive in a marsh a couple miles away from
her apartment building on Wednesday.
Seiler claimed she was kidnapped from her
apartment, tied up and taken to the marsh.
After finding her, police found inconsistencies
in hot story, concluding that the whole event
was a hoax.
Surveillance tapes show Seiler buying a knife,
duct tape, rope, gum and cold medicine from
a local convenience store. Police found maps
of wooded areas and their weather forecasts
saved on her computer.
Why would an intelligent, well-liked college
student fake her own disappearance?
Police spent an estimated $70,000 on canines,
planes, boats and overtime to search for Seiler.
It is upsetting that someone would fake a kid-
napping and have her family, friends and the
community concerned about her well-being.
In February, Seiler claimed that she was
attacked by an unknown assailant and left
unconscious.
She was not sexually assaulted and she was
not robbed. Could Seiler have been lying about
that attack, too? We think so, especially since
nothing was taken from her.
Seiler should be charged for her crime.
Because she planned her own kidnapping
- down to the supplies used - we view this
intelligent, well-liked girl as negligent, senseless
and inconsiderate.
She's wasted money that should have been
spent on search efforts for real victims and the
conviction of their kidnappers.
Although Seiler is now in a psychiatric hospi-
tal, she should be found guilty and punished.
There is no psychiatric excuse for a desperate
cry for attention

In My Opinion
Israel assassinates founder,
spiritual leader of Hamas
Palestinians vow m
revenge
PETER KALAJIAN
STAFF WRITER
After five failed attempts,
the Israeli military was suc-
cessful this week in assassinat-
ing Sheik Ahmed Yassin, the
founder and spiritual leader of
Hamas.
As he rode in a motorcade
through Gazaity. the sheik,
who is blind and confined
to a wheelchair, was killed
in a massive explosion along
with several aides when a
missile tired Iroin a hovering
Israeli helicopter struck his
vehicle.
As the spiritual leader and
founder ol the proTPale.sMn-
ian group, llamas. Yassin had
long been considered the mas-
termind behind some of the
deadliest suicide bombings in
Israel since the beginning of
the second Intifada nearly lour
years ago.
Unfortunately lor the Israeli
government, Ariel Sharon
has iust committed what
will probably prove to be the
worst military miscalculation
of his i areer. Israel needs lo
prepare herself to reap the
whirlwind,
I tail to set' how assassi-
nating one old man is worth
the perhaps dozens of Israeli
civilians who will be killed
in the impending wave of
retribution suicide bombings
from an enraged Hamas
leadership.
In the aftermath of the assas-
sination, Israel has expelled all
Palestinians from her borders
and closed all checkpoints
in and out of the occupied
territories.
Some would say that assas-
sinating a man opposed to the
very existence of the Israeli
slate and who was no doubt
involved in a number of deadly
suii Ide bombings on Israeli soil
is justified - and maybe they're
right.
The Israeli Defense Forces
has been living to assassinate
Yassin lor some lime.
lie has survived two
car bombings and several
other varied assassination
attempts.
Sharon and the rest of his
hard-line government thought
that killing this man, who is
,i s mbol ol the Palestinian
struggle loi freedom to so many,
would somehow stem the tide
o young Palestinian militants
coming lo Israel to blow them-
selves up
I fear the opposite will be
I me
By refusing to give an
Inch iii negotiations to end
tin' bloodshed and ter-
rorizing innocent Pales-
tinians on a dailv basis,
Sharon and his govern-
ment cronies have ensured
that retribution for the sheik's
murder will be swift and
lieree
Already, militant
groups within the occupied
territories have begun lauiu liing
mortars into Israeli settlements
and the Lebanese group,
Hezbollah, has implemented
attacks against Israeli border
patrols, killing a number of
soldiers.
These attacks are only the
beginning.
Since the inception of
the State of Israel in 1948,
the Israeli Government,
bolstered by sophisticated
military equipment and train-
ing from Great Britain and the
United States, implemented
a system of Intimidation
and control over the
Palestinians which has contin-
ued to this day.
I ven in their own lands,
Palestinians are forced
to produce identifica-
tion at the whim of young
Israeli soldiers, most of
whom have grown up learn-
ing to hate and fear their
Arab neighbors, and Israeli
foot soldiers regularly sack
Palestinian houses looking for
"terrorists
Where Tel Aviv has
buses and western cars
lining the streets, Uaza has
Israeli tanks and troops
transports.
Palestinians live in fear
and poverty, most of which
Is imposed upon them by
Israel.
All the while, the Israeli
government Is exploiting
these people as slave labor-
ers, importing tens of thou-
sands of Palestinians every
day to work at jobs that most
Israelis consider beneath
them.
Palestinians are bus driv-
ers and janitors, construction
workers and menial laborers,
making significantly less
money than their Jewish
counterparts.
Without this force of low
wage employees, the Israeli
economy would come to a
grinding halt.
At the same time, unem-
ployment within the occupied
territories runs as high as 60
percent In some places.
Now, on top of the
daily humiliation Palestin-
ians are subjected to, the
Israelis assassinate
one of the most revered
and beloved figures
in Palestine, Sheik Ahmed
Yassin.
Until the United States
and Israel drastically change
their policies toward the
Palestinian people who, by
(he way, have as valid a claim
to the land as the Jews do,
the horrors of suicide bomb-
ing and military occupation
ol Arab lands will continue
indefinitely.
Between 70 AD. and 1948,
the Israeli people had little
or no presence in the Holy
I and. Maybe its time the Pal-
estinians were given what's
theirs.
If you don't invest very much, then defeat
doesn't hurt very much and winning is not
very exciting. "
In My Opinion
Attraction is more than skin-deep
A definition of true
beauty
TONYZOPPO
ASSISTANT FEATURES EDITOR
I saw an advertisement for
clothing recently that had a
young girl, maybe 16, sitting
with her arms propped over
her legs in front of her.
The girl was noticeably
skinny, borderline unhealthy
even. She had on designer
black pants and a striped shirt
and in big bold letters was "less
is more
I don't know who is in
charge of advertising for
that company, but they need
to look back at that ad and
see what kind of message it's
sending.
We're talking about an
adolescent girl speaking in
volumes to thousands of
other young girls about "less
is more
Although this quote is refer-
ring to the clothing, you'd have
to be insane to tell me that
there isn't another message
lying within that phrase.
Kver heard of Anorexia Ner-
vosa? Bulimia Nervosa?
these are psychological
eating disorders, Anorexia
being the most prominent in
young women, mostly those
going through the physical
and psychological changes that
come with puberty.
Why on Earth, with some-
thing as serious as that going on
this country, would we have a
society whose advertising puts
this enormous strain on being
physically "perfect?"
from the time they are
little girls, women are under
a pressure that no man may
ever know. More often than
not, it's society that teaches
females they have to look per-
fect. They need to have great
skin, high cheekbones, long
legs, narrow hips, a slim torso
and - maybe, most importantly
- a closed mouth.
Why does our definition
of beauty have to be just skin-
deep?
Why isn't an outgoing
quality in a woman desirable?
Why is it that in almost every
advertisement with a female,
there's some kind of sex-sell-
ing mentality depicting these
women as mere objects?
Beauty and being sexy is
not about fitting into a size
four and having a bust size
that makes Pamela Anderson
look like she has two mosquito
bites on her chest.
Though the surface is
almost always the first thing
that intrigues a person about
another and throws a spark out
in the open, looks are merely
a stepping stone - they're not
true beauty.
I'll tell you what beauty
is. Beauty is the woman next
to you who puts up with your
crap day in and day out and still
loves you with all her heart.
Beauty is the woman who has
a brain and a sense of humor
in addition to a body. Beauty
is that creature beside you who
wants to spend every moment
with you for the rest of both
your lives.
Beauty is the wonderful
mother of your children who
has fair skin, wide hips, fit
legs and a wide-open mouth,
whether she is nagging at you
or talking in the sweetest, soft-
est voice you've ever heard.
Beauty isn't about all our
society makes it out to be.
It's about seeing an imperfect
person perfectly.
The next time you see
an ad with a woman half or
barely clothed and some wacky
sex phrase littered all over the
page or television screen, think
about how much you would like
it if you were under a micro-
scope like that every day of
your life.
We're people, not objects
- let's treat each other like
people. And "people" certainly
includes women.

Flavanoids also serve as
antioxidants- enzymes that may

the chocolate should have a high

therefore, not all chocolates
are equal. Dark chocolate has a
higln i c onlcnt ol cocoa solids

As a result, there are about twice
as many antioxidants in dark
chocolate, making it healthier
than the higher fat and higher

If you make wise chocolate

Ac i ording to a study by

Eat fast while eating healthy
Fast food chains jump
on diet bandwagon
KIMBERLY KNIGHT
STAFF WRITER
Eating at your favorite fast
food restaurants isn't the same
anymore - the trend is a health-
ier meal instead of the usual
favorites like heavy, saturated,
fatty burgers and the option of
super sizing.
Businesses like McDonald's,
llardees and Wendy's all offer
healthier choices along with the
original menus.
"I think the fast food
industry is making a good effort
to promote a healthy lifestyle,
hut what is going to happen if we
find out that three or four years
later that the low-carb items were
just as bad for us as the rest?" said
Brian Welch, graduate student
business administration major.
McDonald's offers healthy
alternatives for breakfast, lunch
and dinner.
In the mornings, you can
eat an Egg McMuffin and have
a 12-ounce cup of orange juice
totaling at 440 calories.
If you happen to skip
breakfast and zoom into
lunch, you can eat a Caesar
salad with grilled chicken
with Newman's Own Low-Eat
Balsamic Vinaigrette along with
a Eruit 'n Yogurt i'arfait washed
down with a medium Iced lea
that equals 400 calories.
Another option is a four-pack
of Chicken McNuggets with one
pack of honey, a side salad with
half of Newman's Own creamy
Caesar dressing and a small
Sprite for only 470 calories.
However, if McDonald's is
not your favorite fast food res-
taurant, try llardees.
llardees now has Atkins
Wendy's offers salads as one of their low-calorie r
burgers for those looking for an
alternative to other hamburg-
ers. The low-carb Thick Burger
only has six carbohydrates and
49 fewer grams of fat than other
burgers on the menu.
1 lardees also offers a low-carb
Breakfast Bowl with only five
carbohydrates and a low-carb
Chicken Club Sandwich with
just 11 carbohydrates.
Another fast food favorite
is turning over a new menu as
well.
Wendy's now offers low-
calorie foods as well as providing
helpful tips about how to plan
healthier meals daily.
On their Web site,
Wendy's.com, a suggested meal
planner is offered containing
options under 510 calories and
fewer than 10 grams of fat.
Examples are the Jr.
Hamburger with a side salad
and fat-free dressing, a large
chili with a side salad and
fat-free dressing, or a grilled
chicken sandwich with a side
salad with fat-free dressing.
Eor students looking for
other options, talking with a
nutritionist can be helpful. The
Wellness Education department
offers health educators, nutri-
tionists and body image and
eating programs. Services such
as meal planning and nutrition
are offered at no cost to the
student.
"When tliey come to the
Student Health Center, students
are treated by trained profes-
sionals in a respectful courte-
ous manner said Karen S.
Warren, director of Wellness
Education.
"All visits are highly confi-
dential and cost effective
Still, it all comes down
to the individual wanting to
change their eating style or meal
supplement.
"You can change the menu
all you want, however, the
problem is the fact that people
are still living an unhealthy
lifestyle and in order to change
their lifestyle they must first
change themselves and want
to start living a healthier life
said Mitchell Burley, junior
neuroscience major.

ECU sweeps weekend
series in Charlotte
BRENT WYNNE
STAFF WRITER
Chew on this: 48 hits, 10
home runs and 4S runs. Sounds
like enough offense to last 10
games, huh? Try three for the
ECU baseball team, which once
again proved they have one of the
nation's most potent offenses .is
they rocked Charlotte in a three
game set 8-0, 13-5 and 24-13.
In a nearly (lawless per-
formance, the Pirate offense
was working like a well-oiled
machine trained to do two things
- seek and destroy.
The object of destruction
just happened to be the ball in
this case. The Charlotte pitch-
ers are probably suffering from
the lowest esteem levels ot Lbe.it
collective careers after watching
pitch after pitch sail around and,
often times, out ot the ballpark.
The dominance began with a
game one shutout.
Junior Creg Bunn tossed
eight scoreless innings, scatter-
ing two hits and recorded eight
strikeouts as he improved to 5-0
Oil the season.
Phillip Powell came on In
the ninth to preserve (he shut-
out for the Pirates, their fifth ot
the season.
The lethal l.awhorns were up
to their usual anticsagain as they
both homered in the same game
for the third time this season.
Darryl's home run, the 39th
of his career, moved him into a
tie with pitching coach Tommy
hason for third place on ECU's
all-time home run list.
The Pirates improved to 22-
6ovcrall and 4-3 in Conference-
USA with the win.
The offense was in full
throttle again for game two as
BCD pounded out a remarkable
season-high 21 hits along with
another season-high for runs,
13, in route to a 13-5 pasting of
the 49ers.
the Pirates, now 23-6 over-
all and S-3 in C-USA, found
themselves facing a 4-0 deficit
after a shaky start from Shane
Mat hews, who surrendered three
first-inning home runs, allowing
the 49ers to jump ahead.
Mat hews put his foot down
after that and didn't allow
another run in his appearance,
keeping the Pirates in the game.
ECU kicked it into high gear
with an eight-run fifth, which
ultimately proved to be too much
for Charlotte who mustered only
one more run in the home half
of the ninth.
The eight-run explosion was
due largely in part to a set of
homcruns blasted by T. Lawhorn,
Drew Costanzo and Ryan Jones,
who combined for seven of the
eight RBIs in the frame.
Jones' blast was a grand slam
and marked his ninth round trip-
per of the season.
Matt Bishop was the benefi-
ciary of the knockout blow as he
picked up the win and improved
to 2-0 on the season.
Ryan Norwood and Mark
Minicozzi also had fine days at
the plate as they both went 3-for-
5 with an RBI and a run scored.
As it the punishment, irj lie-
firsl two games wasn't enough,
the Pirates were relentless in the
series finale as they banged out 19
more hits to completely obliterate
the 49ers 24-13.

Leveque leads Pirate golfers
ECU finishes fifth in
Bradford Creek tourney
TRENT WYNNE
STAFF WRITER
Ryan l.eveque's (67-75-69)
five-under-par performance
in the Bradford Creek (par-72,
7,151-yards) Invitational tourna-
ment hosted by the Pirates las!
weekend helped ECU to a fifth
place finish in its home tourney
and rebuilt some of the lost Pirate
confidence.
"We need to regain our
confidence and build as much
momentum as we can heading
into the conference champion-
ships said ECU Mead Coach
Kevin Williams.
"We had not been playing
that well in the spring so far
ECU was tied for the lead
With Campbell and Gardner-
Webb after each team fired a
first round 286.
The Pirates dropped to fifth
after the second round with a
292, four over par, and stayed
there for the rest of the tourna-
ment.
Leveque won the fall version
of this event - the 54-hole, two-
day tourney - which featured
many non-district teams from
the northeast.
"Ryan is a freshman that
shows a lot of promise
Williams said.
"If he will just work harder,
he has a really bright future
here
The three-time defending
champion UNC-W Seahawks
came up just short in a quest
for a four-peat as they fired a
three-round total of 858, good
enough for second place and
just six strokes off of the Camp-
bell Camels who took home the
trophy.
"They have really had a
strangle hold on this tourna-
ment for the past few years
Williams said.
ECU was just one of the 21
teams competing in this year's
event along with American Uni-
versity, Appalachian State, Army,
Campbell, Charleston Southern,
Coastal Carolina, OePaul, F.lon
and Gardner-Webb.
The Pirates shot well at Bradford Creek, finishing fifth.

WE WILL NOT BE UNDERSOLD
THE END IS NEAR!
We are finally nearing the end of another academic year For Suzy and John, students
we discussed earlier in the year, the year has brought both successes and lessons
to be learned As students prepare to make the transition to their summer jobs, back to
their families, or for those who are graduating, to new opportunities, there are several
things to consider.
� First, making a transition always means a period of adjustment. This will be difficult for
you as well as your loved ones Don't be surprised if it is difficult to move back in with your
family. After all, you have changed over the year You are not used to your parents and
they are not used to the "new you They might expect you to be the same person you
were nine months ago when they dropped you off at ECU Remember to communicate
clearly and calmly about what might need to be different for you Remember to listen
well, and consider the fact that you are living in their home You may need to make some
compromises.
� Second, you will be leaving your friends that you have learned to love. Perhaps
you are even separating from that special someone for the summer This can be very
difficult. Have a conversation about what you expect from each other over the summer.
Discuss how you will communicate with each other Discuss possibilities for visits etc.
Remember to do your part in the communicating Don't expect them to always call you,
email you etc. Initiate your share of the conversations.
� Third, You might be seeing old friends from home again Remember that you and the
friends have all changed. Remember that they might not enjoy the same activities, may
not have the same interests as you. Try to let them develop into the people they want to
be, while you develop into who you want to be It is hard to understand how friendships
can change, and if you can acknowledge this, you stand a much better chance at
remaining friends.
� Fourth, you will need to adjust to new time schedules Perhaps you are used to
getting up at 11 00 for your first class Now you have to get up at 8:00 for that new job.
This can take some getting used to. Remember to get your share of sleep Remember
to eat healthy, and not to burn the candle at both ends.
A special word to seniors:
You are embarking on a new journey You will have all kinds of feelings about this. You
may feel anxious or scared because you do not quite know what lies ahead You may
feel sad about leaving your college years behind. You may feel excited about moving on
to this new part of your life. Whatever the case, remember that it is normal to feel all of
these emotions. Go easy on yourself. It is ok if you don't feel great all of the time Talk to
others, take care of yourself, and if these feelings are more than you can handle, come into
the counseling center between 8:30 and 4:30 Monday through Friday for some guidance.
HAVE A GREAT SUMMER

the top ol the eighth, the Pirates
needed a hip inning if they
wanted to complete the sweep.
After Charlotte recorded
the lirst out of tin- inning by a
strikeout, thej were only five
outs away from salvaging the
series
V Ith runners on first and
third, an error by .1harlotte
pitcher proved fatal as the next
two outs were nearly impossible
to get. ECU capitalized on the
inisi. ue with 10 runs, putting
the game OUl Of reach for the
49ers
I he score after the top of the
eighth, 19-11, turned the base-
ball unites! into a football-like
shootout on the scoreboard.
The eighth inning saw D.
l.awhorn move into sole posses-
sion of third place on the ECU
all-time home runs list in a big
way as he blasted a grand slam
that got things cooking for the
I'irates.
A Jones three-run triple and
a T. l.awhorn two run job gave
ECU the 19-11 advantage.
The Pirates tacked on five
more runs in the ninth, adding
a bit of icing to the already
heavily glazed cake.
Norwood, Minicozzi and
Adam Witter also added homers
for the Pirates, who ultimately
improved to 24-6 overall and 6-
3 in C-USA on the season.
Jones and T. Lawhorn led the
way with four hits apiece and
three and four RBls respectively.
Witter and Norwood each added
two hits and three RBls and D.
Lawhorn added one hit (grand
slam) and five RBls.
Kevin Rhodes earned the win
In this wild contest as he tossed
three inning, in relief, striking
out three and only allowing
three runs.
The Pirates' blazing bats will
have a crack at another in-state
rival on Wednesday as ECU
travels to Raleigh for a 7 p.m.
showdown with the Duke Blue
Devils.

ECU tennis bounces back
Men and women
defeat Mount Olive
ROBERT LEONARD
STAFF WRITER
I he II nun and women's
tennis teams rebounded after
losses to Arkansas Pine-Bluff
with wins over Mount Olive last
I bursdav. I he men were able to
win their match 6-1, while the
women won 5-2.
I he win improved the men
to 12-4 on the year with the win.
I he I'irates were led onto the
1 ourt by number one seedtiarl
Meyer, who defeated Mount
( Him's number one seed with a
score of 6-0, 6-2. Other winners
for ECU included Paulo Baumer
6-2 6-2, Darren Mansell 6-3 6-2,
Felipe Ponwca 6-3 6-3 and Mark
Gellard6-4 6-4.
In doubles action, Meyer
and Mansell were able to defeat
their opponents from Mount
Olive as well as J.R. Gudger and
Baumer. The men hope to use
this momentum as they head
to Wilmington to take on in-
state rival UNC Wilmington on
Wednesday.
The women had similar suc-
cess against Mount Olive when
number one seed Raluca Baicu
would win the first match, but
would lose the next and the
tiebreaker.
Fortunately for the Pirates,
four out of her five teammates
would pick up victories. Win-
ners for the ladies included Gillie
Bailey 6-3 6-1, Cristina Meilicke
6-0 6-1, Kristen Buchanan 6-0
6-0 and Sara Boseman 6-7 7-
5 1-0. The team of Baicu and
Buchanan were able to pick up
another victory in doubles for
the Pirates. Bailey and Meilicke
also would win their doubles
match.
The women now have two
road matches at Richmond and
Appalachian State before the
Conference-USA tournament.

US YOURS!
We want to see your photos of this year at ECU. The East
Carolinian is putting together a retrospective of this year

this school year. You can submit a conventional
photo print or a digital file. Please include a note
with the photo and tell us your name, the name(s) of
anyone clearly pictured in the shot and wherewhen it
was taken.
Send your favorite ECU memory of the year to
photos@theeastcarolinian.com by April 16 and we may
include it in our commencement special edition.
NOTE: by submitting a photo you give us your permission to reproduce it in our special edition.
