Cracking down on Driving While Impaired

DWI laws that could
affect you

ZACK HILL
SENIOR WRITER

Tonya Oliver knows a thing or
two about DWI offenses.

As an assistant district attor-
ney for Pitt County, she handles
mainly traffic offenses and she
says that DWI cases take up about
90 percent of her time.

oI just donTt understand it,?
Oliver said. oYou have a few drinks
and think ITm OK to drive, and
then you make a poor decision.?

Between July 2005 and July
2006, Oliver and the rest of the
district attorneyTs office handled
2,211 DWI cases according to
state court statistics and that
number may be going up because
of some changes to state laws that
recently took effect.

oThey've really closed the
loopholes. The judge must find you
guilty now,? said Peter Romary,
director of legal services at ECU.

Romary said that the list of

_changes is long, but there are

several that could affect students
more than others.

Any amount of a Schedule I
substance found in the driverTs
bloodstream can result in a DWI
conviction. These substances
include LSD, MDMA commonly
referred to as Ecstasy, PCP, heroin
and morphine.

Someone riding a bicycle or
lawnmower while intoxicated can
also be convicted of DWI.

Mitigating factors such as caus-
ing injury or property damage now
play amore substantial role as well.

For example, a repeat offender
or a blood alcohol level above .16
coupled with an injury or property
damage could cause what before could
have been tried as a misdemeanor to

become an aggravated felony.

And that means a harsher
sentence for both the driver and
their wallet.

oFor one, your insurance will
go up 400 percent. The fines are
huge. ItTs absolutely massive in
cost,? Romary said.

Romary said that a conviction
could also have ramifications with
the university because it is a viola-
tion of the code of conduct.

Oliver said that though many
might expect ECU students to make
a disproportionately high percentage
of the DWI cases in Pitt County, the
facts donTt back that up.

oWe've looked at the statistics and
broken it down, but it doesnTt appear
to be that way,? Oliver said. oIt would
be great one day to have no one come
in for this, but my job is to get every-
body to stop. It puts us all at risk.?

STAFF WRITER

According to the American
Heart Association, only 13 per-
cent of women even recognize
heart disease as a threat to their
health, despite the fact that heart
disease is the number one killer of
women over the age of 25. Campus
Wellness, in affiliation with the
AHA, have decided to devote

an entire week toward promot-
ing awareness for heart dis-
ease in women and advocating
lifestyle changes as a means of
prevention.

This week is called, oGo Red
Week? in honor of the color red,
a national symbol representing
healthy hearts and the ability
to engage in a better life. The
national oGo Red Day? is Feb.

2, sponsored by the AHA since |

2004.

Karen Warren, director of
Campus, Wellness, wanted to
dispel the myth women are
immune to heart disease.
Women can be just as easily

Red Week promotes Heart Disease Awareness

affected as men by the disease.

oThis is really important
for heart disease not to be
overlooked [in women],? said
Warren. Campus Wellness hopes
that Go Red Week will not only
bring awareness to the problem
of heart disease in women, but
also encourage women to enact
lifestyle changes that they can
utilize throughout their entire
life.

The week commenced on Jan.
30 with, oMove Your Feet Heart
Walk,? which began at noon. The
walk while bringing recognition
to heart disease in women, more
importantly emphasized the idea

ings were held in the Student
Recreation Center main lobby from
10 a.m. " 2 p.m. High blood
pressure and high cholesterol
are risk factors for develop-
ing heart disease. Screenings

WZMB.91.3 FM, ECU's stu-
dent radio station, went back on air
yesterday after a two month-long
hiatus spurred on by winter break
and lack of a general manager.

Two orientation sessions were
held with the WZMB staff in
Mendenhall last Thursday and Friday
to educate new and returning employ-
ees about the stationTs new direction.

Natalie Sacarakis, a senior
English major who has worked at
the station since spring 2006, said
the meeting on Friday discussed
omajor changes? taking place not
only with the stationTs technical

Friends of Sheppard Memorial Library hold fundraiser

16th annual book sale

ADELINE TRENTO
STAFF WRITER

Last weekend, the Friends of
Sheppard Memorial Library held
their 16th annual book sale at the
Greenville Convention Center.

The three-day event, which
opened to the public on Friday,
Feb. 2, is a major fund-raiser for
the Sheppard Memorial Library
and its branches.

Willie Nelms, director of the
Sheppard Memorial Library, said
that although raising money is
the events main purpose, it also
benefits the community in other
ways as well.

oThe book sale helps the com-
munity in a lot of ways,? said
Nelms. oIt provides an opportu-
nity to recycle books and it allows
people to get great books at bar-
gain prices.?

Nelms also believes that the
event helps to improve literacy
in Pitt County by giving people a
place to buy a ton.of books for very
little money.

oMany people want to buy a lot
of books but simply canTt afford to
pay retail prices for them,? he said.
oAt the sale people are able to pay
low prices for a variety of books,
and that helps to promote reading

in the community.?

The sale offered more than
18,000 books to the public with
prices ranging from 25 cents for
a paperback to an entire set of
encyclopedias for $20.

On Sunday, people were able
to fill a bag with as many books as
they could fit for only $5.

Customers could also purchase
movies and music at the sale,
including a large selection of CDs,
DVDs and VHS cassette tapes.

Most of the books and other
items at the event did not come
from the shelves at the Sheppard
Memorial Library. Nelms said that
less than 3 percent of the books
actually came from the library.
The others, he said, came from
donations and gifts that were
given by the community.

oA lot of people buy a book for
$30 and read it once,? said Nelms.
oThey donate it to us and we either
already have a copy on our shelves
or donTt need it for our collection.
We sell it at the book sale and it
gives people a chance to own a
basically new book for $2 or $3.?

This yearTs sale was a huge
success and many people came out
to help the library.

Jan Lewis, member of the
Friends of Sheppard Memorial
Library, said that the community
comes out to support the sale

every year.

oPeople are always happy about
the event,? said Lewis. oIt gives
the community a chance to buy
cheap books, but it also gives them
a place to meet with other people
and share ideas about books.?

Many ECU students also came
out to take advantage of the great
deals.

Students were able to purchase
dictionaries, thesauruses, ency-
clopedias and other items that
could help with their majors and
future jobs.

Kelli Ross, junior elementary
education major, came to the sale
to buy childrenTs books for her
classes.

oWhenever we do our field
experience and teach in classrooms
we always read a story to the kids,?
said Ross. oI thought this would be
a great place to stock up on books
to read in the elementary schools
that we teach in.?

All of the proceeds from the
book sale went to the Sheppard
Memorial Library and its branches.
Profits from the event will be used
for special programs and activities
that taxes do not provide for.

does not pay the basic operating

Situations, enjoys educating every-
one on campus about health related
topics. A booth set up in the SRC
provided visitors with the oppor-
tunity to learn about how stress
affects heart disease. -

oWe are making stress balls
because stress is one of the causes
of heart disease,? said Reshma
Patel, secretary for the Healthy

Erica Payton, Ebony Alston and Leslie McCamn inform students about heart disease during oGo Red Week.?

PIRATES.

Risk for heart disease increases
when you fail to allow your body
to relax. Stress can damage your
arteries, which can then damage
your heart.

oThe hostile heart syndrome
[studied at] Duke, [says that] people
who have a pessimistic and aggres-
sive attitude toward life are more
likely to have heart disease, which
relates to stress hormones in the

blood,? said Tywanna Jeffries, assis-
tant director of Campus Wellness.
oPeople donTt take into account
how much stress affects heart dis-
ease,? said Karen Warren.
Instead, Warren said people
typically attempt other prevention
methods like exercise before recog-
nizing that stress may be a factor.

WZMB continued from Al

may vary slightly depending on
the time of day, there will be no
individual specialty shows hosted -by
student disc jockeys this semester.
Weather, sports and newscasts will
be recorded by students, however,
and will play throughout the day.

Sacarakis said that the WZMB
staff was informed that the reason
for the heavy reliance on the auto-
mated system stemmed from FCC
violations last fall.

oThe way it was described to us
was that there were a lot of problems
with FCC violations last semester,?
Sacarakis said. oThe oTask ForceT
was forced to make this decision
[to use the automated system] or
otherwise go off air.?

Ken Robol, director of Stu-
dent Media, said the use of the
automated system is intended to
make the station more efficient.

oThe Media Board was not
interested in micro-managing
the station, but just focusing on
small goals to help it grow into
the future,T Robol wrote in an e-
mail. oThis is very similar to what
most commercial radio stations are
doing. [The DJs] can still do liners
at the station.?

Sacarakis said she and many of

the DJs were unaware of the prob- _

lems involving FCC regulations at
the station last fall.

oNo one came to me and said ...
that we could get shut down,? she
said. oI was never informed I was
doing anything wrong with my show.
I donTt think we were made aware
enough [last semester] and then
we had this dropped on us Friday.?

Sacarakis said Kristen Stone-
man, WZMBTs recently-appointed
interim assistant general manager,
has been put in a otough position?
when it comes to overhauling the
station and getting the DJs on track.
Stoneman could not be reached for
comment on this article.

Robol said the Media Board
owanted WZMB to retool and
focus om the big picture of being
a training ground and serv-
ing students while providing
great entertainment for ECU.?

Instead of hosting music pro-
grams this semester, WZMB
employees who are not weather,
sports or newscasters will work
on various projects like loading
songs into the OMT-Media Touch
systemTs library, retooling the FCC

and training/policy manual and
finding ways to get more students
groups engaged with the radio.

Sacarakis echoed the sentiments
of former DJ Jimmy Goose when
she said she was onot real thrilled
with the idea of not having DJs on
air anymore.?

oT donTt think enough input was
taken from the DJs,T Sacarakis said
about the Media BoardTs decision to
implement a task force.

oI donTt think they have experi-
ence with radio, they haven't worked
with the radio. .. ItTs a silly idea to put
the station in their hands,? she said.

Robol, however, is excited
about the possibilities the auto-
mated system offers. Boe.

oThe station has a music library
of over 10,000 songs and this is
going to be available to listeners and
to DJs starting in April. WZMB
will be the only station in town
that could play Bob Dylan, REM,
Johnny Cash, Kayne West, Normal
Jean, MXPX and many other great
artists... This is a great time to
work at WZMB,? he said.

Enough
is enough

Accept differences and embrace
diversity
ELISE PHILLIPS
ASSISTANT PULSE EDITOR
The other night, while watching an episode of
oTrading Spouses,? I saw something that I have known
about for some time, but had never written about. The
show is about two families who trade spouses for a

week and the new omommies? get to make new rules,

do new things and decide certain issues for their new $

family. The episode that I was watching portrayed a
white woman and a black woman who had traded lives
with each other.

The white woman ended up with a black man who
was all about African pride and oteaching? this woman
the value of black culture in America. He treated her
terribly, because he felt like she should learn from
mistakes that the white race had made as a whole. The
black woman ended up with a family who welcomed
her, but found it difficult to interact with the family.

At the end ofthe show, the two moms got together
to talk about their experience. It was amazing to
see that both of them thought that the other was
rude when talking about their familyTs dynamics.

This, only confirms what I see on a day-to-day
basis between black and white people. As a whole, the
two races donTt understand each other. ItTs no secret
that the black culture and the white culture have major
differences. True, we are all human beings, but some
things about each culture are distinctly different.

I noticed this culture difference even more when I
came to ECU. I was really surprised to find that most
white people stuck together and most black people stuck
together. As far as I could see, there wasnTt much racial
mixing, I also noticed that it was hard to make friends
with the opposite race. I understood the obvious cultural
differences, but why was this happening? Are people
afraid to hang out with someone of the opposite race?

There is no blame placed on a particular race; each
one has their problems. Some ignorant white people
in the United States choose to hate and exploit black
people and some equally ignorant black people choose

to think of whites as fitting a certain mold, as if the

whole race is prejudiced. Both of these ideas are wrong. .

I think that it is the craziest thing to see blacks
and whites still so separated from each other. I think
that if each race is to. better understand each other and
abolish these racial ogeneralizations? that have plagued
our society, blacks and whites need to get to know each
other. If each race spent some time wie the other, they
would find that despite cultural dibierences, we are all
people and all have more similarities than differences.

Personally, I hate living in a world that is defined
by black and white. ITm not saying that our society
should wash away the things that make each culture
unique, but I do think that people shquld blend the
differences. This would make America a better place.
Whites should understand that blacks have had it
hard in the United States. Blacks should understand
that not all white people have an agenda against them.

The black-white controversy has gone on for
hundreds of years and I think that it is enough. Accept
differences. Spread diversity and acceptance. That is
the only way that a small portion in the gap that divides
the races will be bridged.

BRIDGET TODD
OPINION WRITER

As much as I hate to admit it, every night it
seems like I end up sitting in front of the artificial
glow of the television set.

As I flip channels, I skip through child pornog-
raphy stings, teenagers touching each other and -
people screaming over briefcases of money. All of
it makes me cringe. Tonight, however, itTs a special
kind of absurdity.

There is only one show that can cram a bunch
of out-of-work man skanks into one tacky mansion.
Yes, its Vh1Ts oI Love New York.? The show follows
Tiffany Pollard known as oNew York? from oThe
Flavor of Love.? A few months ago a surprisingly
high amount of Americans watched as New York
sashayed her way onto the set of oFlavor of Love?
in a jangle of plastic hair, tattooed breasts and

menthol cigarettes.

Why? To vie for the love of gold toothed, clock-
necked former Public Enemy great Flava Flay, of course.
This was the epiphany of tacky reality shows. This was
what tacky reality shows hope to be like when they grow
up. A bunch of wannabe singers and soon-to-be-strippers
fighting for the placid gaze of the babbling, drugged up
shadow of what used to be Flava Flav. Remember when
Flav wanted us to oFight The Power?? Remember when
he had something to say? Now a veritable political icon has
been reduced to a jabbering joke. Only I'm not laughing.

New York should have been embarrassed to be
part of it. She should have cowered in mortification
after watching herself march up and down FlavTs
mansion in kitten heels proclaiming that she was
the oHead bitch in charge!? I was embarrassed
enough for the both of us. Embarrassed that I was
watching"embarrassed that I couldnTt look away:

Embarrassed that she wasnTt embarrassed. The*

whole spectacle was made somehow worse that she
wasn't. She was proud. It was like she was saying:

Yes, America, this is a black woman, belligerent,
emotionally unstable and with Hennessey on her
breath. As an African-American woman, I do not
want that to be how America sees us"maniacal
sluts with bad grammar? New York is something
special. She basks in her ignorance, hoisting it
like a flag, riding atop it like her own personal
palanquin to celebrity.

And why exactly is she a celebrity? Because as a

contestant on another reality show she was the most *

insane? So of course, this is someone who needs
and deserves her own show. Because thatTs exactly
what we need on TV"more black people making
idiots of themselves for the sake of mass entertain-
ment. Hey, it worked in the twenties, and people
Just loved those minstrel shows. Besides, just think
of all the time we've wasted not watching New York
give away a pair of her panties mounted in a frame.

And if by any chance you're reading this while
watching oI Love New York,? please do yourself a
favor and go read a book instead.

Moving down the campaign trail to
2008 presidential elections

ELIZABETH LAUTEN
CONTRIBUTING WRITER

While November 2008 may seem far off to many,
to those eyeing the coveted seat of our countryTs next
President, the time between now and then doesnTt feel
like long enough.

As we begin our journey down the 2008 election
trail, there are some facts that everyone should be aware,T
and with my peerTs political acumen. seeming to be at
an all-time low, I feel the need to urge my peers to get
up and take notice of what exactly is happening sooner,
rather than later.

Whether youre hoping for the Republicans maintain °
hold of the Oval Office, or if you want to see a Demo-
cratic take over, one thingTs for sure"people are ready
for a major change and itTs seemingly the DemocratsT
election to lose.

Only once in the past 50 years, in 1988, has a party
won a presidential election for a third consecutive four-
year term. ItTs not surprising to think that after control-
ling the White House for that long, voters are generally
ready for change. And as the adage goes, history repeats
itself, in most cases that is. :

On topf that, for the first time in 80 years, politi-
cians find themselves in a unique situation"neither the
incumbent president nor his vice president will enter a
state caucus or primary to run for the presidency. This
leaves the field wide open for everyone else.

Another notable component of this election comes
in knowing that just last month the Federal Election
Commission chairman stated that he thought this would
be the most expensive election in American history. It
is estimated to rack up to be a $1 billion election and
that candidates who wish to be taken seriously need
to raise at least a $100 million by the end of this year.
With such staggering figures, I canTt help but wonder
if politicians are going to win the presidency or try to
buy their way to it.

Finally, when it comes to talking abou whom the
race is between, we canTt say for sure just yet. With
exploratory committees out there for a number of can-
didates and another large group filing papers, declar-
ing that they're going to run, the battle lines are only
temporarily drawn. Moreover, we won't know that forT
another year when the respective parties have their.
nominating conventions in September 2008, who the
two main candidates will be.

The frontrunner for the Republican Party nomina-
tion is Sen. John McCain from Arizona. He has the

" necessary experience in big politics and his independence

from Capitol Hill will likely prove beneficial. down
the campaign trail, as doesnTt have close ties to Bush.
Nevertheless, whoever gets the GOP nomination, will
be burdened heavily by the publicTs judgments on the
current administration.

As we look towards the Democratic Party, we see

' Hillary Clinton vying for the nomination, and while

I'd love to see-a woman President in 2008, Clinton is
coming on to the field with much political baggage and
stiff competition coming from the ranks of the rest of
her party. And, of course, thereTs Barack Obama"the
not-quite-seasoned enough Senator from Illinois, who
only took office in 2005. While I do not doubt his
potential for the future, I canTt help but wonder why
people even entertain the idea that he may be ready for
office now. I think this party is just focusing in all the
wrong directions.

Nevertheless, the political field is overflowing with

" candidates seeking nominations from both sides of the

pond right now. There are more candidates out there
running for President than you can imagine, but who
will end up where after the nominating conventions,
we're going to have to wait and see.

One thingTs for sure, the 2008 presidential race will
be one of the most interesting races of our day, and the :*
closeness of the past two presidential elections should
prove to be indicators of what dramatic events we can
expect to see in 2008.

Horoscopes:

Aries

Keep an eye on your partner,
so he or she doesnTt make
matters worse. Make sure you're
both aiming at the same target.
Staying close could be the best
thing for both of you.

Taurus

Your workload is increasing,
though your paycheckTs not
getting fatter. DonTt worry about
that; itTll follow as you increase
your skills. :

Gemini

You'll naturally relax as more
of the puzzle pieces fall into
place. DonTt let down your guard
completely, however. Keep your
wits about you. .

Cancer

The problem is that you're still
busy, and you donTt want to be.
You want to be curled up on
your couch. Better get yourself
a good laptop and talk the boss
into working from.home.

Leo

ThereTs not quite as much
tension, partially because you're
getting smarter. Prove it, by
not trying to fix something that
already works.

Virgo

The system you've helped set up
should be beginning to work by
now. You'll see good results for
acouple of days. Accomplish as
much as you can.

Libra

You've probably finished most
of the disagreeable tasks by
now. Don't lose interest before
the jobTs done, or you'll be in
trouble again.

Scorpio
All the stuff youTve been putting
off is suddenly coming due. The
good news is, thereTs no trouble
figuring out what you should
do now.

Sagittarius

Friends help you find many uses
for your new skills. Do what you
find fascinating and donTt worry
about the money.

Capricorn

The person in charge of the
money is feeling generous. If
you're nice, which may not be
easy, you could get a bonus.
DonTt make any jokes at this
personTs expense.

Aquarius

You know where you want to go.
Convince the others to help, and
give them the credit when you
arrive. This is definitely a team
effort. Being part of the team
will eventually help you as an
individual.

Pisces

Search through your list of
contacts to find the person who
has what you need. A private
transaction will be better this
time than going public.

Super Bowl advertisements worth millions?

A glance at ads past and present

LEIGH CARTER
STAFF WRITER

Before the kick off of this yearTs Super Bowl last
Sunday, what was hanging on your mind?

How long would it take the pizza to arrive? Did
we buy enough dip? Will the soft drinks hold out?

Does any of this ring a bell?

While the advertisements shown during this
special event might not have been the first thing on
your mind as the Bears and Colts battled it out on
Sunday, they surely amused those watching as pro-
motions from companies like Budweiser, Pepsi and
various members of the automobile industry dazzled
viewers with their newest creations for the marketing

of their products.

oThe advertisements shown during the Super
Bowl are a nice break from the game itself,? said Misty
Joyner, history graduate student.
intense and serious and then you sée things like the
Budweiser frogs and it helps you to take a breath.?

Though the ads displayed on the screens of tele-
visions all around the world are entertaining, many
forget why they are actually there. Over $2.5 million
was spent on each 30 second spot during the 2006
game, creating much competition between vendors

to get representation.

oSuper Bowl] advertising has become a cultural
phenomenon,? said Interlibrary Loan Librarian Wil-
liam Gee. oWe expect them to wow us.?

Each year different teams take the field and new
companies try to find their way to present Super

Bowl ad material.

Veterans to the advertisement industry plan early
to combat the rush for ad space. From Burger King
and McDonaldTs to Pepsi and Coca-cola, the crusade
never ends as each one tries to create new ways to
outdo not only their previous advertisements, but also

those of their competitors.

Such heavy rivalry and pressure to succeed takes
its toll of many who plan to submit ads.

SARAH CAMPBELLT
PULSE EDITOR

Nestled away in historic
uptown Greenville lies a cozy
locale where native artists gather
to exhibit their work and members

of the community are privy to the

unique opportunity to delve into
their creativity by fashioning their
own works of art. October 2000
marked the opening of Emerge
Gallery & Art Center, a non-profit
art center, which provides the
ECU community as well as local
residents a variety of opportunities
to display and create art.

oI love walking through the
doors of Emerge into the warm
aesthetic that looms in the air,
and taking my time to browse
throughout the gallery. ItTs a great
way to escape the hustle and bustle
of everyday life without costing a
single penny,? said Charlotte Moye,
Junior communication major.

Since its humble beginnings
the gallery has served as an outlet
in which local artists can display
their work in a professional manor.
The exhibition space is open for
professional exhibitions, regional

juried show as well as student
thesis and senior exhibitions.

After renovating the facilities
last year, Emerge also offers a vari-
ety of educational classes that are
open to those from all walks of life.

A variety of classes including
adult figure drawing, raku pottery,
intro to the wheel, pop up paper
and books are offered to anyone
interested in furthering artist
abilities, or those simply searching
for a new hobby.

oWith the invaluable resources
of the ECU School of Art and
Design at our fingertips, our hope
is to bring diverse and unique
offerings into the community for
the skilled artist, novices, college
students and school age children
alike,? said the director of educa-
tion and outreach Heather White.

These classroom spaces have
been built in order to house a full
scale pottery studio, a metal design
studio, book art facilities and a
variety of other classrooms for an
assortment of mediums.

oOne of our objectives is to
bring the highly skilled exper-
tise found on the college campus
to the community at a reason-
able rate, at convenient times
and to remove the myth that you
must be trained artist to take art

Become smoke free for your sweetheart

A unique ValentineTs
Day gift

ELISE PHILLIPS
ASSISTANT PULSE EDITOR

When most people think about

ValentineTs Day, they think of love, ~

chocolate, flowers and teddy bears.
One thing people most definitely
do not think about is smoking.

The staff and faculty at
Campus Recreation and Well-
ness think that ValentineTs
Day is the perfect time to raise
awareness about smoking, by
sponsoring an event called Smoke-
free for your Sweetheart.

The event will take place, of
course, on Wednesday, Feb. 14
from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. in Wright
Plaza, right in front of Dowdy
Student Stores.

The Smokefree for your Sweet-
heart event will offer games,
including a tobacco trivia quiz,
and prizes such as T-shirts, key
chains, pens and chip clips, just to
name a few.

Students will also have a
chance to sign a petition to show
their support for a smoke free
campus. Already more than 1,600
ECU students have signed the
petition. Students can also grab a
survival kit, which gives instruc-
tions on how to quit smoking.

The event was inspired by
Georgia Childs, assistant direc-
tor for Peer Health at ECU, when
Campus Recreation and Wellness
and the Department of Health
Education and Promotion received
a state-sponsored grant used to
better educate students about
smoking and second-hand smoke.
She decided to hold the event
during Sexual Responsibility
Week, which is usually eae
of ValentineTs Day. 4

oQuitting smoking or help-
ing someone else quit is a great
way to show your love for those
around you,? said Childs. oWhat
better gift to give your sweet-
heart on ValentineTs Day
than the gift of fresh air.?

According to a study done in
2004 by Campus Wellness, 14
percent of ECU students smoke,
although many students said that
they only smoke on weekends.
Although these smokers, usually
pegged as osocial? or ocasual?
smokers only smoke on weekends,
say getting addicted is easy.

Childs thinks that stu-
dents smoke mainly because
of stress, and it is her and her
staffTs goal to teach people to
manage their stress in a healthier
way, such as exercising.

Childs expects 400-500 stu-
dents to stop by Smokefree for
your Sweetheart, and hopes that

Levenia Ty ell

more students will sign the peti-
tion to quit smoking.

oWe'd like to get at least 200
more signatures for the petition
as well as educating the stu-
dents about the harmful effects
of smoking, secondhand smoke
and how smoking can affect your
love dife,? Childs said.

Students may think that they
know all about the effects of smok-
ing and second-hand smoke, but

One gift to give fo give your loved one this Valentine's day is quitting smoking with some help from

Childs hopes that helping even one
student quit smoking or decrease
the amount of cigarettes they
smoke will make the air a little
fresher for all of us.

oEven if you think you have
heard everything you can hear
about smoking, you might learn
something new. ItTs a new year and
a new start. I think that students
should make a change for the
better this year and stop smok-

WC.

ing. The world will be a better
place for all of us,? said Tiara
Street, a student that will be help-
ing with the event.

Smokefree for your Sweetheart
is sure to be a fun and educating
experience for students all over
ECU's campus.

Local employment
opportunities

LEE SCHWARZ
STAFF WRITER

Are you looking for a job to
pay your bills until you gradu-
ate and hopefully find more
professional post-graduation
employment? While local busi-
nesses as well as ECU hire a lot
of students, often times there is
intense competition especially
among businesses close to the
ECU campus.

Greenville has a lot of busi-
nesses relative to its population
as part of its natural evolution of
a college town. Going out into
Greenville away from campus
can actually provide some good
employment opportunities.

One good place to look

for jobs locally is Pitt County
JobLink located at the intersec-
tion of Firetower and Memorial
next to ChicoTs. While it is a bit of
a drive from ECUTs campus there
are lots of excellent opportunities
available there.

Job counselors are also
on hand to assist with pre-
graduation employment. A trip
there can help get you hired as
ECUTs career service offices
focus almost exclusively on post-
graduation employment.

While ECUTs career ser-
vicesT focus is on post-gradua-
tion employment the e-recruit-
ing system should be seriously
looked at for pre-graduation Jobs.
There are often many Jobs avail-
able to students in Greenville.
The key is to be ever vigilant and
willing to work hard and learn
something new.

It is important to gain some

Job watch for students

work history even if it is not
in your field so that you gain
experience doing different things
and so that you can hopefully
build a nice nest egg ofa savings
account for when you graduate
and are no longer supported by
your parents.

Perhaps you can at least
keep your debt from rising.
Avoiding debt is a serious thing
considering that a majority of
people who get into debt never
get out of it.

The hunt for a job can be a
losing battle, but in the end the
war can be won. Finding the
right fit may: take some time, but
in the end the benefits far out
weigh the hassles. Grab a suit,
smile and enthusiasm and let the
job hunt begin.

previewed the ad prior to its submission.

Even jean manufacturer Levi took its share
of criticism as their 2001 ad showing their jeans
in a similar light to organ transplants was disap-
proved of, angering real life donor seekers.

Even through all the years of competition
and hardships in advertising, companies still
make having representation in the Super Bowl
a major priority.

At the top of this ladder of dedication are
three companies declared by superbowl-ads.
com as the best of all time. Apple, Coke and
McDonaldTs, who each put a memorable spin on
their products and what they represent to the
public, hold this title after several appearances
during various Super Bowl broadcasts.

This year for the first time in Super Bowl
history several ads that were created purely by
amateurs were aired during the show. The Frito
Lay, Pepsi Co. Inc. held an online contest in which

hopefuls could enter their commercial.

The winner of the contest, Dale Backus,
worked with four other people from Five Point
Productions out of Cary, North Carolina, for four
days to produce the commercial.

The General Motors Corp. also ran a com-
mercial by a newcomer from the University of
Wisconsin at Stevens Point, Katie Crabb.

oEveryone wants to be different and memo-
rable,? said Gee. oThat's because everyone is
watching for the ads.?

There is no doubt that this yearTs Super Bowl
commercials were just as memorable as always,
proving that advertisers are making their impres-
sion by leaving viewers with something to talk
about long after the Vince Lombardi Trophy is
awarded.

Pirates gear up for
Carolina Classic and
clash with No. 2
Tennessee

ROBERT MATTHEW PARKS
STAFF WRITER

Youth is the word nowadays for
Tracey Kee, head coach of the ECU
softball team.

Coming off of'a 40-24 season in
2006, the Pirates will try to better
that mark despite having many play-
ers yet to see their first action in an
ECU uniform.

With 11 of the 18 players in her
clubhouse either a freshman or a
sophomore, it is apparent that Kee
needs for the juniors and seniors to
take the lead.

oThis yearsT team has a unique
make up,? said Kee. oBut I think we
have strong leadership with our
Juniors and our seniors.?

Among the freshmen that are
new to ECU this year are Hawai-
ians Christen Aona, Kaui Tom and
Charina Sumner. All three are util-
ity players that can be used all over
the field.

With Kee saying that what the
team needs most is experience,
solidifying an everyday lineup could
come as a challenge. Having players
such as Aona, Tom and Sumner as
well as fellow freshman Tiffany
Shaw available to play several differ-
ent roles should alleviate any depth
problems.

The Pirates also have Christina
Merrida and Toni Paisley coming
all the way from California. Mer-

rida will play in the outfield, while .

Paisley is a pitcher.

Similar to ECUTs baseball team,
the biggest loss for the softball squad
since last season will undoubtedly
be the contribution of a former
catcher. The Pirates baseball team
will be without former 2006 All-
American and Johnny Bench Award
winner Jake Smith, while the Pirates
softball team lost batting champion
Krista Jessup. Jessup batted .303 last
year and is currently playing profes-
sionally with the Chicago Bandits.

Kee has noted that the hole
behind home plate will likely be
filled by committee. Right now, she
considers senior and Rotterdam,
Netherlands native Joyce Rooden-
burg as the player who has most
familiarity with the pitching staff.
Roodenburg also has experience
internationally, previously playing
for the Dutch national team.

Pirates lose in overtime

BENJAMIN LLOYD
SENIOR WRITER

The ECU womenTs basketball

team lost an overtime heartbreaker ;

to UAB last Thursday 73-69 in
Minges Coliseum. The Pirates led
at half time by seven, but UABTs
Diamond RogersT jump shot with
32.3 seconds left in overtime capped
off an emotional game. After the
game, ECU was 9-13 overall, 4-5
in Conference USA, and the UAB
Blazers improved to 12-9 overall
and 7-2 in league play.

ECU played with vigor to open
the game on a 10-0 run. UAB
wasn't going to give up that easily
and had their own run of 13-2
taking the lead back with 11:12 left
in the first half. The lead changed
hands six times during the first
half and was tied three times.

The Pirates defense seemed to
be too much for UAB to handle,
creating 15 turnovers and collaps-

Uncertainty at one end of the
battery is met with assuredness at
the other. Without a doubt, one of
the biggest stories out of the ECU
softball team this year will be
pitcher Keli Harrell.

Harrell, a senior and J.H. Rose
alumni, has set numerous pitching
records at ECU and last year was
named a first team all-conference
selection in Conference USA. Last
season Harrell pitched her way to a
1.72 ERA in 36 starts.

This year she has her sights set
on the C-USA all-time strikeout
record. Former DePaul University
pitcher Lindsay Choinard currently
holds the record with 858 strikeouts
while Harrell has amassed 756 so
far in her career at ECU.

She'll also be looking up at the
all-time wins mark for pitchers at
ECU. Harrell has 71 career wins, 31
off the school record of 102 wins set

Considering the amount of

ing in the lane, forcing the Blazers
to take difficult outside jumpers.
The Blazers had a strong defen-
sive night against the Pirates as
well, tallying eight steals and four
blocks in the first half alone.

LaCoya Terry had an impres-
sive first half scoring eight points
on 4-7 shooting from the floor to
lead all scorers, as ECU had 20
points in the paint to UABTs eight.
Cherie Mills also added five points
to those in the paint and had five
rebounds alongside Nicole Days.

ECU ended the half on a 9-3
run to give them the lead going
into half time 30-23. UABTs senior
guard Carmen Guzman put up
seven points in the first half, hit-
ting two three-pointers.

The Pirates jumped out to
an early lead in the second half
and led by as many as 14 with
11:24 left to go in the game. The
Blazers seemed destined to come
back against ECU by tripling
'the amount of times they went
to the free throw line, shooting

83.3 percent in the second half
from the charity stripe. UAB also
doubled itTs three-pointers from
four to eight.

oWe did come out of the zone,
we played actually a sagging man
defense for a little while and when
we did, they were getting shots
driving past us and also getting the
offensive board,? said ECU head
coach Sharon Baldwin-Tener.

Diamond RogersT lay-up at
the 4:34 mark cut the ECU lead
down to four, 55-51. Then a jumper
from the free-throw line by ECU
guard Jasmine Young gave the
Pirates the 57-51 advantage with
3:40 to play. .

A three-pointer by Fatiha
Salaam and a jumper by Rogers over
the next two possessions pulled the
Blazers to within one, 57-56, with
less than three minutes remaining
in the game. Four straight free
throws by UAB gave the Blazers the
60-57 lead with 1:26 to play.

ECU cruises to blowout
win over Memphis

JOSEPH MURPHY
STAFF WRITER

The ECU WomenTs Basketball
team bounced back from a dis-
heartening loss at home to UAB in
overtime by defeating the Memphis
Tigers 79-57 Saturday at Minges
Coliseum. The victory improves
the Pirates overall record to 10-
13 and their conference record to
5-5. The loss drops Memphis to
3-21 and 0-10 in league play. The
Pirates jumped out to an 8-0 lead
and never looked back.

oIt was important, [to get out
to a quick start] I was concerned
with how we would respond and
how we would come out after
losing a heartbreaker like we did,?
said Pirates head coach Sharon
Baldwin-Tener.

The Pirates went on a 13-0
run midway through the first half
to make the score 34-14. But the
Tigers rallied to make the score
38-27 at the half. The Pirates
scored the first six points of the
second half and never let the
Tigers get any closer than 12 the
rest of the way.

The Pirates were led in scor-
ing by Senior Cherie Mills, who
had 15 points and made seven of
her 11 shots from the field.

oI did do a good Job of getting
position,? said Mills. oI was able
to get good position because they
were overplaying me.?

Sophomore point guard Jas-
mine Young set the pace for the
Pirates, scoring nine points and
dishing out ten assists.

oTheir defense was so spread
out I was able to penetrate, and
instead of just settling for three I
was trying to get it into the lane
and get closer looks to the basket,?
said Young.

Young played an ideal game
for a point guard because she
was able to get her teammates
involved.

oT felt like we took our time in
our zone offenses; we worked on
them in practice and we were able

to make the difference by hitting
a jumper and driving the lane to
pick up a foul to tie the score at 63,
pushing the game into overtime.

Last year when these two
teams met, Guzman hit a pair
of free throws with six seconds
remaining in a triple overtime win
against ECU at Minges Coliseum,
so it seemed awkward to be in this
same situation for a second year
in a row.

The Pirates started the extra
time with a jump shot by Young,
but were no match for Rogers,
who hit a three-pointer and drove
the lane for a bucket with 33 ticks
left. ECU had two chances to tie
the game up at 71, but Terry and
Young both missed shots, allowing
UABTs Salaam to get back to the
foul line to win 73-69.

oWe turned the ball over too
much and that gave them some
easy buckets,? Coach Baldwin-
Tener said after the game.

The Blazers forced 23 ECU
turnovers and recorded 16 steals.

to execute today,? Young said.

Five Pirates scored in double
figures; Mills had 15, Sophomores
Impris Manning and LaCoya
Terry each had 11, and Junior
Nicole Days and Sophomore Jes-
sica Slack each had 10.

oI think when we are balanced
we're a much better basketball
team,? Baldwin-Tener said.

oPeople key in on Jasmine and
Cherie and if one of them is having
an off night, ifnobody steps up in
their place weTre in trouble, but if
everybody who gets on the floor
is contributing then we are a much
better basketball team.?

The victory was important for
the Pirates who travel for their
next two games at SMU on Friday
Feb. 11 and at Tulsa on Sunday,
Febalsk

oYou need to win at home,?
Baldwin-Tener said. oWe only
have two of our six games left at
home and we haven't done that
well on the road so we need to steal
a couple on the road.?

The Pirates are only 1-8 on the
road so far this season, compared
with 7-3 at Minges Coliseum. The
next two road games are crucial
for the Pirates as they head down
the stretch of conference play.

oWe're still in the thick of
things in terms of conference
play,? Baldwin-Tener said.

At 5-5, the Pirates are cur-
rently seventh in C-USA but could
greatly improve their seeding for
the Conference Tournament with
victories in their next two games
at SMU and at Tulsa.

The Tulsa game will be tele-
vised nationally on ESPN2 at 5:30
p.m. on Feb. 11. The prospect of
playing on national TV is a rare
and exhilarating opportunity for
the WomenTs Basketball Team.

oThatTs very exciting, ITm
going to make sure | call my
people back home to let them know
to watch us,? Young said.

Mills added that the ESPN2
game at Tulsa is a great time for
the Pirates to pick up a road win.

oEverybodyTs going to be
watching us,? Mills said. oPlus itTs
an away game and we haven't been
doing that well on the road, so itTs
important that we come up big and
get the win.?

oCU in heartbreaking fashion

UAB also went 10-28 from behind
the arc. Rogers pulled down a
double double with 20 points 10
rebounds, and also had seven
steals. Guzman had 19 points and
shot 50 percent from three-point
land. Fatiha had 14 points and
Britney Jones added another 12.
ECU shot 86.4 percent from
the charity stripe and dominated
down low with 40 points in the
paint. Senior Mills ended with 19
points and eight rebounds, Terry
finished with 17 points, Young
added 16 points, and Days had 10

yebounds.

oT think it was good for our
kids to be able to come back.
They played hard and we played
together, we were able to cut the
lead and force overtime. The last

play of regulation we were able to.

we fought back,? coach Baldwin-

Captain trys to right PirateTs sinking ship

(AP) " Morris Almond
scored 21 of his game-high 34
points in the second half to rally
Rice to an 83-74 win over ECU
on Saturday night.

Almond, who moved up two
spots to become RiceTs fifth all-
time leading scorer, produced
seven points in a pivotal 11-0
Owls run in the second half. That
spree turned a 53-47 deficit into
a 58-53 Owl dead that Rice never
relinquished.

ECU (5-16, 0-8 C-USA) lost
its eighth consecutive game and
was beaten for the 15th time in its
last 16 outings.

The Pirates closed the gap to
62-61 with 8:04 left on a basket by
Cory Farmer, but the Owls scored
nine of the next 10 points for a 71-
62 cushion with 4:20 showing.

Rice (11-10, 5-3 C-USA) made
11 consecutive free throws down
the'stretch to put the game away.

Putting teams away has been a
problem for ECU all season long,
especially in conference play. In the
first half of the game, the Pirates
went 8-10 from the charity stripe,

while Rice went 10-13 from the
line.

ECU digressed in the second
half, allowing 25 free throw
attempts to the Owls. Rice made

than the Pirates.

the Pirates pay, hitting 20 of the
attempts. On the other hand, ECU
went 3-7 from the free throw line
in the half.

On the year, the
Pirates are shooting
56.5 percent on free
throws, which ranks
last in C-USA.
ECU also ranks last
in the conference in
free throws made (225)
and second to last in free throws
attempted (398). Houston holds
last place in C-USA in free throws
attempted (394), just four less

On a positive note, ECU got a
big contribution from lone senior
Courtney Captain. Captain led
the Pirates with 21 points, while
John Fields and Farmer each
scored 15.

Senior guard
Lorenzo Williams
added a season-
high 20 points for
the Owls.

ECU built

a nine-point first half
lead and held a 42-37 halftime
advantage, led by CaptainTs 13
first half points, but couldnTt
maintain momentum.

The Pirates shot a season-

best 56.3 percent (27-of-48) from
the field and made 9-of-17 3-
point shots. However, they also
committed 21 turnovers and sent
the Owls to the line 38 times,
where they made 30 free throws.
