Impeachment process begins despite ASG nomination

SGA president
now candidate for
UNCASG president

SARAH BELL
EDITOR IN CHIEF

M. Cole Jones, Student Gov-
ernment Association president,
garnered a nomination for presi-
dent of the UNC-system Associa-
tion of Student Governments for
2007 "2008 during the associa-

tion Ts general assembly meeting
Saturday.

Yesterday, however, ECU Ts
SGA began proceedings to
impeach Jones.

According to the impeachment
document introduced yesterday
by Daniel Spuller, chair of the
graduate student advisory com-
mittee and Ryan Wiggins, chair of
the screenings and appointments
committee, and witnessed by Jon
Massachi, speaker of congress,
Jones is being oimpeached for

violating the SGA Oath of Office,
for violating the Student Code of
Conduct, and for being arraigned
in offenses violating the law of the
state of North Carolina. ?

oThe main reason we decided
to do this is because I had stu-
dents come up to me and say that
I need to do something about this
because the image of the school
was in jeopardy, ? said Spuller. oI
felt like I had a moral responsibil-
ity to make sure students T voices

_are represented. ?

oAny ECU student can file to
impeach an officer [of SGA], and
Daniel Spuller and Ryan Wig-
gins, two senior members of SGA,
decided he [Jones] broke the oath
of office, ? said Matthew Cohen,
congress member and member of
the rules and judiciary committee.
oThey felt he violated the section
that calls to promote the high-
est ideals of integrity, and that
prompted the hearing. ?

Jones was issued a resignation
request by members of congress

Morals Week concluded
Friday with Anti-Affirmative
Action Day, hosted by the Col-
lege Republicans, which was

Black Student Union.

oWe see [affirmative action]
as one of the top issues on
campus. The university tends
to put a lot of emphasis on
other events like Diversity
Week... even so far as to spon-
sor a drag show... we [ College
Republicans] were left out...
so we decided to take on a
diversity issue during Morals
Week, ? said Dustin Pittman,
administrative vice chairman of
the N.C. Federation of College
Republicans.

Stemming from the 1950s
and 1960s, affirmative action
refers to the specific steps

tion in employment, educa-
tion and contracting by insti-
tutions and businesses that
choose to abide by its policies.
To help explain affirmative
action, the College Republicans
hostedanon-traditional bake sale.
There, they sold cook-
ies that all appeared simi-
lar, but were priced differ-
ently based upon their labels.
Cookies were labeled as follows:
ounder-represented minorities, ?
$1 oblack female, ? $1.50, oblack
male, T $2, owhite female, ? $2.50
and owhite male, ? $3.

The bake sale was used as a
tool to represent how the Col-
lege Republicans view affirma-
tive action, where one Ts value
is determined by the color of
the skin.

oThe bake sale idea... it Ts done
at a number of college campuses
to show students what affirma-
tive action is, T Pittman said. oWe
thought it would be a good idea
to do here... it Ts something I Tve
wanted to do for a couple of years,
[just never had the opportunity.

With the event came much
controversy. The Baptist Student
Union, the NAACP, the Muslim
Student Association and the
ECU Gospel Choir all attended
in protest.

oI would estimate 12 College
Republicans and 60 " 75 BSU
members [were present] for the

protest, ? said Pittman.

? TWe wanted to show that
affirmative action is relevant in
our community and it was not

_ just based on race, that it was also

geared toward helping minorities
as well as females. We also felt the
College Republicans T views upon
affirmative action were unfair
toward many of the minority
students th general, ? said Michele
McKenzie, BSU secretary. oWe
hoped to accomplish bringing
everyone on campus knowledge
about what affirmative action
really is, and to bring another side
to the issue so that everyone could

hear opinions from both sides. ?

Friday Ts Anti-Affirmative
Action Day ended on a high note,
with a handshake between the
College Republicans and BSU,
and plans to meet in the future to
discuss the idea further.

oWe're working with Patrick
Dixon, BSU president and Dustin
Robinson to come up with a public
forum where both sides are able
to present their ideas in a more
formal setting. A debate type
deal, ? Pittman said.

Nominations made
In congress meeting

MASSACHI

Addressed topics were
approved

KIMBERLY BELLAMY
SENIOR WRITER

Congress members approved
organizations, resolutions, a
new judiciary board and leader-
ship members-at the meeting on
Monday night.

ike firs t

topic of

discussion was nominating con-
gress members for awards that
will be given out at their SGA
Banquet on April 13 at Rock
Springs.

Awards that will be given
include congress member of the

ee
by Za

year, committee chair or co-chair of
the year and legislation of the year.

Some of the legislation con-
sidered for the award include the
grading appeal policy, the resolu-
tion against plus/minus grading
scale and no smoking at the River
building.

There were 10 legislation
% resolutions listed on the ballot
S that could win the award.

The results of the award
g Winners will be announced at
& the banquet and at the following

congress meeting for members

who decide not to attend the ban-
quet, according to Jon Massachi,
speaker of the congress.

Five new organizations were
presented to congress as new
organizations by Ashley Yopp,
congress member.

These organizations were
Colleges Against Cancer, Books
All Around, East Carolina Eng-
lish Education Club, National
Student Speech Organization
and College of Nursing Student
Graduate Organizations.

After Yopp provided the
members with a brief summary
of each organization Ts purpose,
congress approved all five orga-
nizations.

Congress also approved new
Judicial board members and lead-
ership nominees for the judicial
board.

Two resolutions were dis-
cussed in congress and pre-

irkin

sented by Regina Twine, con-
gress member.
The first resolution was to

charging students for official
transcripts.

The resolution proposes that
the registrar should not charge
for the first two transcripts.

oIf you needed 10 transcripts,
regardless of the circumstances,
you would have to pay $5 per
transcript, ? Twine said.

A suggestion made by a con-
gress member was to not charge
students for any of the official
transcripts.

o[ We] don Tt want people to
ask for a substantial amount of
transcripts, ? replied Twine to
that suggestion.

The last resolution was to
change the type of toiletry that
the university provides stu-
dents. .

The resolution was approved
by congress to discontinue having
one-ply toilet paper and start
using two-ply toilet paper.

The reasoning presented in
this resolution was to make the
students feel more comfortable
and that this was the standard
convention of most homes.

Service North Carolina
wraps up

ADELINE TRENTO
STAFF WRITER

Last week, ECU competed with
the 15 other UNC campuses ina week-
long community service challenge.

Service North Carolina, which
was sponsored locally by SGA and
the Volunteer and Service-Learn-
ing Center, kicked off on March
26 with a blood drive outside of
Wright Place.

oService North Carolina is a
week long event that brings the
16 universities together to do
community service, ? said Jennifer
Montgomery, chairperson of the
Service North Carolina Planning
Committee. oIt Ts a little challenge to
see what university can get the most
volunteer hours and have bragging
rights for the rest of the year. ?

To help students participate and
get involved, many service activities
were offered throughout the week.

Students had the opportunity
to work with animals at the Pitt
County Humane Society, watch
March Madness with residents at
the Carolina House Assisted Living
Center and work with children at
the ECU Youth Arts Festival.

oWe tried to vary the opportu-
nities that were scheduled for the
week, ? said Jason Denius, director
of the ECU Volunteer and Service-
Learning Center. oWe wanted to
give students the chance to partici-
pate in a variety of different volun-
teer activities and we wanted the
activities to appeal to a lot of people. ?

Several events were also sched-
uled to get males involved with
Service North Carolina.

oWe tend to see more women
volunteers than men, ? Denius said.
oAs a strong male volunteer myself,

Sharpe is ECU alum

ZACK HILL
SENIOR WRITER

Former U.S. House represen-
tative Roger Sharpe came to Bate
1032 Thursday night to talk about
life, politics and his new memoir,
Ceremony of Innocence.

The book follows his early
years in Sandy Springs, N.C., a
small town near Winston-Salem,
through his years in Washington,
D.C. as the representative for
North Carolina Ts fifth district.

Sharpe received a criminal
Justice degree from ECU.

oTm glad to be back because
I Tm an alumnus, ? Sharpe said.

Sharpe said that early on in life
his eyes were open to the problems
of racism that were prévalent in
many rural times in the South.

Sharpe said he was concerned
about many of the problems facing



the country today.

oThere is a great divide in
American society, politically and
religiously, ? Sharpe. oMy concern
is what can any of us do that can
be reconciling? What would bring
people together? ?

Sharpe returned briefly to
ECU at one point to teach creative
writing and religious studies.

He had some encouraging
words for the students on hand.

oRealize that within your circle
of friends and family and within
your resources, you too can grasp
life and its gifts for yourself, ?
Sharpe said.

Recently Sharpe has been on
the road, debating the issue of

Senate majority leader may move
to cut off war funds if White House
rejects Iraq timeline

WASHINGTON (AP) "Senate
Majority Leader Harry Reid

said Monday he will try to cut
off funding for the Iraq war if
President Bush rejects Congress T
proposal to set a deadline for
ending combat.

The move is likely to intensify
the Democrats T rift with the
administration, which already
contends Democrats are

putting troops at risk by setting »
deadlines.

oIt Ts time the self-appointed
strategists on Capitol Hill

understood a very simple

concept: You cannot win a war if

Also Monday, President

Bush conferred by secure

pace of a nearly seven-week-old
security crackdown. Extra troops
from both countries are aiming
to calm Baghdad and troubled

Supreme Court rebukes Bush
administration on greenhouse gas
emissions

WASHINGTON (AP) "The
Supreme Court rebuked the Bush
administration Monday for its
inaction on global warming in a
decision that could lead to more
fuel-efficient cars as early as next
year.

The court, in a 5-4 ruling in its
first case on climate change,
declared that carbon dioxide and
other greenhouse gases are air
pollutants under the Clean Air
Act.

The Environmental Protection
Agency has the authority to
regulate those emissions from
new cars and trucks under the
landmark environment law, and
the olaundry list ? of reasons it
has given for declining to do so
are insufficient, the court said.
oA reduction in domestic
emissions would slow the pace
of global emissions increases, no
matter what happens elsewhere, ?
Justice John Paul Stevens said

in the majority opinion. oEPA has. ...

offered no reasoned explanation
for its refusal to decide whether
greenhouse gases cause or
contribute to climate change. ?

camped out overnight Tuesday
on a hillside above a devastated
town.in the western Solomon
Islands after a tsunami that
struck without warning washed

least 13 people. The death toll
was expected to rise.

A wall of water reportedly 30

causing widespread damage and

The tsunami was triggered by a
magnitude 8.0 quake that struck
shortly after 7:39 a.m. Monday
six miles beneath the sea floor,
about 25 miles from the western
island of Gizo and 215 miles
northwest of the Solomons T
capital, Honiara, the U.S.

The quake the strongest in the
Solomons in more than three
decades _ set off tsunami alarms
from Tokyo to Hawaii and closed

Australia more than 1,250 miles
away. Lifeguards with bullhorns
yelled at surfers to get out of the

Military panel discusses US. involvement in Iraq

Event hosted by
College Republicans

CARMIN BLACK
STAFF WRITER

On March 28, at 7 p.m. in Bate
1032, the ECU College Republicans
held an informational question and .
answer session where prominent
US. Military personnel spoke about
their time spent in Iraq.

The meeting opened with a
group prayer and the pledge of
allegiance.

Army Col. John Reitzell, Army
Lt. Col. Scott Rutter and Army
Mjr. John Krenson expressed
their opinions on why it would
be beneficial for the U.S. Army
to increase troop numbers in the
USS. and Iraq, and why American
troops should remain involved.

oPolls show they [Iraqis] are
not ready for our troops to leave,
not just yet; there is a moral obliga-

tion to do what it takes to win, the
question is how long are we going
to stay? If we leave now we'll leave
behind a bloodbath and a civil
war, ? said Major John Krenson.

During this informational ses-
sion each of the three officers indi-
vidually stood up to speak about

their take on the war, and why they -

feel America is still involved.

Col. John Reitzell opened up the
information session by illustrating
his reasons for the war by showing
a film of self-captured footage he
shot of U.S. soldiers fighting in
Iraq. Most scenes depicted U.S.
soldiers firing large weapons at
Iraqi buildings.

Maj. John Krenson, who now
serves as an ordained deacon in the
Roman Catholic Church also spoke
about his personal viewpoints, but
he chose to focus on the religious
and theological perspectives. He
said he feels anyone who practices
the Christian faith must view this
war as a way to justify fighting for

their country.

Lastly, Lt. Col. Scott Rutter
presented his opinions by jumping
on top of the tables to recite a time-
line of all the incidents he claims
led up to this war. Rutter said that
the reasons for the U.S. s involve-
ment in Iraq can be simply traced
back to the Islamic Revolution.

After each officer spoke a ques-
tion and answer session was held.
Persons both for and against war
spoke out regarding their opinions
of America Ts current involvement in
the Middle East.

A 19-year-old political science -

major, David Zeher said it was
refreshing to hear the three officers
come and speak. Zeher also said
that these three men provided him
with an un-biased account of why
we are actually fighting. Zeher feels
the media is to blame for the reason
most Americans are not in favor of
troops going to Iraq.

oNBC NEWS T and ABC
NEWS are a center for bias and

propaganda; they twist viewpoints
and causalities. We lose more people
from smoking each day than we
do in the war, and do you hear
about that? I feel that the news
networks take a stance and they
don Tt budge on that, ? said Zehr.

On the other hand, there were
those present who were not in favor
of the war.

27-year-old Jacek Teller, physics
major and member of ECU Peace
and Justice, said he has good reason
for believing this war is not worth
fighting for.

Teller served as a marine for
five years and he believes that
most Iraqis do not want American
troops in their country anymore.

oThere was a poll done March
2006 listed on Zogby International
that shows 60 percent of all Ameri-
can troops would like America
to pull out of the war, and over
85 percent of Iraqis want us out
of Iraq by year Ts end, ? said Teller.

Teller said that when serving

as a Marine, he saw first hand how
this war is a battle to keep America
on the forefront of world power.
He gave the example of this power
struggle by talking about an inci-
dent he learned of called oMonsanto
Seeds. ?

Monsanto Seeds is an American
seed company which supplies Iraq
with the seeds they need to grow
their crops. Teller said that Mon-
santo Seeds is the only company that
the U.S. military will allow Iraqis
to buy their seeds from. He said
that once the seeds finally arrive
to Iraqi farmers they are what he
called osuicide seeds, ? a kind of seed
which will produce crops but when
new seeds fall from the crops they
are infertile. This forces the Iraqi
people to have to buy more seeds
if they want to grow more crops of
that kind; an: incident that Teller
called oeconomic exploitation. ?

SERVICE continued from Al

one of my goals for the week was
to get more guys to participate.
My hope is that we can show more
gentlemen the benefits of commu-
nity service and hopefully get them
to enjoy volunteering. ?

To encourage more male par-
ticipation, Theta Chi sponsored a
Men Ts Challenge.

The Men Ts Challenge, which
involved a Youth Sports Fair,
allowed volunteers to play sports and
recreational games with children
from local after school programs.

oIt Ts important to help out
the community any way we
can, ? said Brad Congleton,
sophomore sports management
major. oThese kids don Tt have a lot of
positive male role models so it was
important for us to volunteer and
give them someone to look up to. ?

Students that participated in
community service activities on
their own were able to record their
hours as well.

Students were able to submit
their a hours online by
providing the contact information
of supervisors and certifying that
the information was true, based on

the ECU honor code.

oA lot of people volunteer on
their own and outside of the uni-
versity, T Montgomery said. oWe
wanted to give them an easy way to
record their hours and participate in
Service North Carolina. ?

Last year, ECU finished a close
second to N.C. State and this year
the university hopes to come in
first place by completing the most
volunteer hours.

oOur main goal is to make
a difference in the community, ?
Congleton said, obut beating the
Wolfpack is definitely a goal as well. ?

The event concluded on March
31 and the winner will be announced
within the next few weeks, but
Denius and Montgomery encour-
age students to continue making
a difference in the community.

oThis institution has a long his-
tory of serving its community and
the region, ? Denius said. oI think
it Ts important for students to real-
ize that they have the opportunity
to give back. ?

UNCASG continued

oThe rules and judiciary com-
mittee is temporarily postponing
our vote on this matter, pending
a certain issue of constitutional-
ity, ? said Cohen. oOnce the ruling
comes in, which should be no
later than the next 48 hours, the
committee will call an emergency
meeting to take up the matter
again. ?

According to Cohen, the com-
mittee would need to vote by a
two-thirds margin to temporarily
suspend Jones from office through
the impeachment process.

After being passed by the
committee, the issue would be
presented to congress, where
a three-fourths vote would be
necessary to remove Jones from
office after a trial during the
congress meeting.

Even if Congress moves to
remove Jones from office, the
decision would not necessarily
interfere with Jones T ability to
serve UNCASG president.

According to the UNCASG
constitution, presidential candi-
dates need only be members of
their university's SGA at the time

from Al

of their nomination.

Cody Grasty, student body
president at Western Carolina
University and interim chairman
of the ASG finance committee,

will run alongside Jones for ASG ©

vice president.

The UNCASG general
assembly also nominated Ste-
phen Moore, ASG vice president
for government relations and
a UNC Chapel Hill junior, for
president of the organization.
Jake Parton, ASG vice. presi-
dent for academic and student
affairs and a UNC Chapel Hill
Junior, was nominated for vice
president.

ASG delegates from all 16
UNC campuses will elect the
next association president and
vice president at their next meet-
ing April 14 at N.C. Central

heels of the world. Now normally I would defend
Ahmadinejad and the choices of Iran, however the
country is not making it easy for me. Two recent
events come to mind.

To begin there is the ocapture ? of the fifteen
British sailors and marines. While the event is far
too controversial for me to accept any claim as fact,
I will just look at the case.

Iran seizes fifteen British marines and sailors,
whom Iran believes to have illegally crossed into
Iranian waters. Britain on the other hand denies this,
with Tony Blair asserting that those captured were
actually in waters of Iraq.

Now this is a real lose-lose situation on Iran Ts
part. If they were doing it legitimately, their efforts
will be for nothing and the country will still be
pegged as the bad guy.

Let us remember that this is not the first time
British marines would have accidentally stumbled
into Iranian waters, nor the first time Iran has taken
British marines into custody.

On the flip side, what purpose do they hope to
serve by capturing the soldiers outside of Iranian
water? Is Iran hoping for another Ronald Reagan?
This move of ostanding up ? to the West would have
been a bit more gutsy if they really had the nuclear
weapons that Neo-Conservatives in America paint
them as attempting to gain.

As if that were not enough, Iran piles more
weight on their shoulders by pushing away the
International Atomic Energy Agency.

While Iran reasons the exclusion of the IAEA
followed UN Security Council sanctions on their
country, now is not the best time to raise any more
suspicion.

Iran needs all the evidence they can muster
that nuclear armaments are not the focus of their
uranium enrichment. Failing to inform the IAEA
of Iran Ts plans and prégress does not speak well of
their current position.

While I do not believe war is imminent with
Iran, the West Ts opinion of the country is further
deteriorating. But what is Iran to do? Ahmadinejad
has no interest in becoming another puppet nation
like others in the Middle East.

Iran is quite content with their spot in the top
five oil exporters for the world and will surely use
their place if provoked.

Iran Ts upped thé ante and with both Britain and
the United States at the table, we will have to wait
and see who shows their hand first.

Deadline

for war

Is that even possible?

MARGOT ROGERSON
OPINION WRITER

Recently, the House of Representatives passed a
new bill concerning plans for the war in Iraq. The
bill states that operations in Iraq, at least to some
degree, will cease before September 2008.

This bill has been in speculation for a while, but
for some reason, | did not think it had an actual chance
of passing, even in a liberal House of Representatives.

First, let me state that J am neither a Democrat
nor a Republican. I try to view the issues as they are,
and I believe the best solution can be made without
party interruptions.

That said, this bill seems almost ludicrous, and I
cannot help but feel that I am onside with the President.

The President responded to the House Ts decision
almost immediately. President Bush stated, oMem-
bers of Congress now face a choice: Whether they
will waste time and provoke an unnecessary confron-
tation, or whether they will join us in working to do
the people Ts business. We have many important issues
before us. So we need to put partisan politics aside
and come together to enact important legislation for
the American people. ?

I have to agree. It seems that Congress would
do more good by trying to work with the executive
branch. If the House will only serve to bring about
bills that have an almost certain expectation of being
vetoed, what is the purpose?

Although I may not agree with the war in Iraq, I
disagree with the Democrats passing this bill. One of
the large purposes of the bill is to cease involvement
in Iraq and pull troops out by September 2008. I do
not know what person can put a time limit on a war.
I do not feel such a person exists. That idea alone
should seem ludicrous to.anyone.

I am nota proponent for American soldiers losing
their lives, and I am not a proponent for going to
war with one reason and stating another. That said,
I do feel we can complete the mission in Iraq. I feel
it is important to remember that most soldiers today
know beforehand that the likelihood of a tour in Iraq
is inevitable. But these soldiers continue to sign up
because this is a cause of which they believe.

Our founding fathers created a system of checks
and balances so that one element of government
could not get too powerful. However, in this case,
it seems as if one branch is at war with another.
There are ways to show your displeasure without
purposefully creating tension between Congress
and the president.

It seems as if the House of Representatives is
more concerned with being against the Bush admin-
istration than they are with trying to do what is right
for Americans.

Wouldn't a more effective plan be established if
each branch would agree to work with another for
a solution?

The best years of your life

Did you spend them wisely?

LISA URAM
OPINION WRITER

So what do you want to do with your life? For
most college-graduates, the easy answer is to find
a job that utilizes the skills you've worked towards
for the past four years. Unfortunately, although a
college degree is an outstanding accomplishment, it
doesn Tt entitle you to immediate career success and a
big paycheck. More than ever before, employers are
looking for more than just a diploma.

As acollege student, you have probably heard the
term omarket yourself ? more than once, but it Ts true.
Students often get caught up in grade point averages
and forget to develop other valuable proficiencies.
Participating in volunteer work, internships, work-
study, school organizations and even holding a
part-time job throughout college helps significantly
broaden your chances of landing an interview when
applying for a job.

So you have an interview, what do you do now?
The most important aspect of nailing an interview
is how you prepare before you get there. Companies

expect that you know a great deal about their com-
pany and what they want to accomplish before you
get there. It is also wise to evaluate what you want in
a career. Do you really want what they're offering?
Are you willing to travel or relocate? What salary
do you think you deserve?

Developing a strong work ethic is also important,
along with verbal and written communication skills,
quantitative tools (tables, spreadsheets and graphs),
research skills, working well in groups and many
more skills that are often overlooked while in col-
lege. Most importantly, there are tons of resources
available on the Internet that can better prepare you
for the oreal world ? of life after college. These aren't
resources just for seniors; at every level of college,
you should be seriously thinking about why you went
to college in the first place.

Students in the 21st century are becoming
increasingly consumed by the social scene that col-
lege offers. By the time you stop and realize that
all your friends will one day move on, get a job,
get married and have children, you'll wish you had
spent more of your college years devoting your time
to preparing for the future. After all, your career is
your future.

Finding the
right one T

What no one can teach you about
love and relationships

ELISE PHILLIPS
ASSISTANT PULSE EDITOR

I believe that there is only one person in the
world for everybody.

I know it sounds cheesy, but I think that once
you've found the right person, you know. But how
easy is it to find that one special person? In my
experience, it is not very easy at all.

When I got to ECU, I thought, this is a big univer-
sity, there has to be that one person just waiting for me.

I thought that finding that one would not take
much time, I mean, there are thousands of guys here,
just waiting for that special girl. Wrong.

For starters, it seems that almost half of the
guys here at ECU are gay, or they are only looking
for casual sex.

I found myself getting frustrated and confused
at the prospect of going through my whole college
career without one meaningful relationship. Without
finding the one person for me.

I started to wonder, has our society turned in
the dream of a special, long-lasting relationship for
just temporary, sex-driven flings? Or is there still
hope that everyone will find that one person for
him or her?

Has the thought of being with the one, building
a relationship and family with them, gone by the
wayside?

Last semester, I took a Courtship and Marriage
class. In the class, we had to give a speech about
our current relationship, or past relationships, or
relationship experiences that we had.

I was surprised to find that almost half of the
class gave a speech about how they believed that
their current relationship was the right one, the one
that they would be with forever.

By the end of the semester, most of these same
students had broken up with their significant others
and found new ones.

At that point, I thought, hey, at least they tried. I
mean, that Ts what dating is, right, trial and error?

I see things a little differently now.

I think that people develop casual, sexual rela-
tionships with people to get experience for the person
that will be the one. They do it because they feel that
finding the perfect person for them is a dream, kind
of like becoming a millionaire. Everybody wants to
be one, but only those who go after it will be rolling
around in the money.

Maybe finding the right one is the same.

People feel it Ts attainable, but not so likely.

I think that people should see finding that one
person that fits you like a glove, whose weaknesses
are your strengths, and whose strengths are your
weaknesses, whose touch makes you jump even after
50 years, as a necessity.

It is an attainable goal to find and be with that
right one. Maybe people should stop casually dating
the wrong ones and try looking for the real thing.

There might not be so many broken hearts if
they did.

ECU Gospel Choir
concert draws crowd

ELISE PHILLIPS
ASSISTANT PULSE EDITOR

ECU Ts Gospel Choir delivered
a night full of praise, worship and
dance at their 29th annual Anni-
versary Concert on Sunday.

The concert was held in
Wright Auditorium, where the
choir sang songs from the musical
stylings of Gospel greats such as
Dorinda Clark-Cole, Tye Tribbett,
Byron Cage, Marvin Sapp and
Richard Smallwood.

The concert elicited a good

number of students, faculty and

family and included eleven songs,
along with words of encourage-

Pt.

ment, Scripture and prayer.

The choir had been working
toward the program for months
now, and considered it a success.

The theme of the night was oHe
Is... Who is he to you? ? Each song
that the choir performed supported
the theme, using music to describe
who God is to the choir members.

At the beginning of the night,
a PowerPoint was shown, outlin-
ing each name of God in Hebrew,
with its English translation.

Along with posters, flyers and
handouts, the choir also sponsored

Education is an important tool that children in Uganda look forward to utilizing to ensure a brighter future.

Invisible Children ignites
_ passion in ECU students

New organization is
working towards saving
a country

LAURA HUHN
STAFF WRITER

College students are informed
of certain international issues
within a classroom, but only
to the extent of the professor Ts
knowledge. The issue is often not
that personal to the students, but
that. doesn Tt mean that college
students don Tt care. They are just
searching for something to be pas-
sionate about.

Here on ECU Ts campus, a
group of students have found their
passion. Invisible Children United
at ECU is an organization that
stems from a worldwide organi-
zation called Invisible Children
International. IC International is
a rapidly growing organization
whose goal is to raise awareness
about the dire plight. of children
caught up in the civil war in
Uganda.

The organization started when
three American college students
decided to take a trip to Africa
to find a story. Upon exploration
of Uganda, they stumbled upon
a story they had never expected.
They learned that the rebels, who
hope to overthrow the govern-
ment, take great and violent mea-
sures to recruit members to their
party, including kidnapping chil-

dren from their homes and forcing
them to become soldiers, never to
be seen again. These students then
made a film of their travels in the
hopes of spreading the message of
the Ugandan children Ts needs all
around the world.

IC United at ECU is amember
of the nationwide Schools for
Schools initiative. Séhools for
Schools is.a way for high schools
and universities across the nation
to utilize the creativity of their
student body, to help raise money
for greater education in Uganda.

Ashley Wrenn, a textiles
design major in her fourth year
at ECU, founded the IC United
here on campus in February. She
spoke of how ECU is now part of
a larger design.

oSchools all around the United
States have joined together to help
Ugandan schools, ? she said.

Each member of Schools for
Schools is then partnered with a
school in Uganda, ensuring that
the funds raised go directly where
they should. The idea is to provide
the schools with a greater means
to be able to educate the children.

oWe are starting with the most
basic needs, such as water, ? Wrenn
said. oThen we plan to move on to
help recruit teachers and overall
improve the schools. You won't get
past the war until there is greater
education. ?

Laurel Truelove, a sophomore
math education major, spoke of
how reachable the goals are.

oJust $10,000 will get running
water in the school, ? she said. oI
think it Ts incredibly important to
show ECU students that even the
small things can end up making a
huge difference in our community
and in places we Tve never seen
before. ? "

IC United is a perfect outlet
for students who desire to put
energy in a cause that will truly
change lives. A great difference
in IC International and other non-
profit organizations is that those
involved in IC know for a fact that
their funds are benefiting the
people directly. There is always
a group of full-time workers and
interns from IC International in
Uganda, seeing to it that the hard
work and passion of the students
back in America is really worth
something.

oWe're trying to raise more
awareness because it Ts something
we didn Tt know about, and we can
truly help save a country, ? Wrenn
said.

Truelove spoke of IC United Ts
hopes in the coming months.

oThe main goal right now is
to expand the group, and to get
students to become more knowl-
edgeable, ? she said. oNo one will
want to do anything unless they
know something. ?

Wrenn mentioned an even
bigger goal in the future.

oHopefully, eventually, our

center aisles.

The dramatic entrance was
strongly welcomed by the crowd,
who cheered and applauded
the introduction.

Arturo Cummings, a member
of the Gospel Choir thought that
the anniversary being held on
Palm Sunday had significance.

oAs Christians, we hold this
time of year very dear to our
hearts. It represents the death and
resurrection of our Lord. Being
able to share music that represents
Jesus; who he was then and who he

is today on Palm Sunday was very
powerful, ? said Cummings.

Dorthea Taylor, the director
of the choir, encouraged the audi-
ence to get involved with the choir,
leading them in dance steps and a
well-known Gospel song, oSoldier
in the Army of the Lord. ?

The night ended with dancing
and celebration as the choir mem-
bers and the audience enjoyed good
music and a great atmosphere.

Women have long sought after
the power and prestige offered
to those brave enough to enter a
scientific field. Yet, more often
than not, men still end up with
a degree in biology or chemistry
and women do not. Why do women
shy away from a degree that would
grant them access to successful,
high-paying, job opportunities?
Many people argue that women
have more gender specific prob-
lems that occur both while trying
to earn a degree in the sciences and
in the work force.

ECU, cognizant of these prob-
lems seeks to help female stu-
dents achieve success in their
pursuit of scientific degrees.
ECU is hosting an event entitled
oWomen in Science: Strategies for
Success ? to teach young women
how to succeed in the sciences.
Since ECU is known both for its
nursing school and Brody School
of Medicine, this event would be
beneficial to many young upcom-

ing female professionals.

All four panelists are success-
ful professionals willing to answer
questions about their education,
career and life. These panelists
include two representatives from
ECU, Lorrie Basnight, MD and
associate professor of pediatrics
in Brody School of Medicine and
Ron Newton, PhD, a professor of
biology and the associate dean of
our Graduate School. The other
two professionals are Christy
Shaffer, PhD, president and CEO
of Inspire Pharmaceuticals and
Halley White who is a pediatric
dentist. The panel will be inter-
mediated by Dr. Virginia Hardy,
interim chief diversity officer and
interim senior associate dean for
Academic Affairs.

A reception will follow the
question and answer session where
heavy hors d Toeuvres will be
served. At the reception, interested
students and professionals can
sign up for a mentoring program.

The Department of Chemistry,
the Career Center and the Office
of Institutional Diversity teamed
up to sponsor this event.

The eVent Ts design was based
on survey results from ECU

WOMEN continued from A4

students in Danell Ts Chemis-

try classes. Danell asked stu-

dents what types of barriers
they thought had olimited the
advancement of women in science
careers. ? Students felt that women
were most limited by ocareer-
defining training occurring
during the child-bearing years. ?

The highest concern that stu-
dents had-about their futures
revolved around the idea of whether
or not it would be possible to bal-
ance both their career and their
family. Students were also ques-
tioned as to who they would like
to hear from on the topic of women
and their careers.

Danell used the survey responses
to create a program aimed at helping
female students succeed. The men-
toring portion of the program will
enable students to have a connection
with a professional who can help
them throughout their schooling and
even in their career.

oT thought it would be great to
match up students with profession-
als in their field of interest who the
students could send a quick e-mail
to in the future when they have
questions about interviewing, grad-
uate programs etc., ? said Danell.

This event seeks to introduce
the idea of oe-mentoring ? as a new
option. for female. students. .Often
face-to-face interaction can be hard
to maintain with both a student's
and professionals hectic schedule.

ONLINE SUMMER SESSIONS

Chances are you'll never tell your kids about that killer summer you spent in a classroom. So go
ahead, live a little and learn a lot this summer with UNCG Ts online summer session classes.

Now, mentors can talk to students
through e-mails, which will pro-
vide an informal way to maintain
open communication between both
the student and the professional. If
a student has a quick question, they
can send out an e-mail. Mentors
are intended to help students stay
focused on the goal and be there as
a support system for students who
need someone to ask career-ori-
ented questions. While this event
hopes to partner students and pro-
fessionals together, it also seeks to
draw interest to the scientific fields.

oThis event is important
because we need to increase the
number of women entering the
various science fields and to retain
those who are currently in the
field, ? said Hardy.

The event is not just for women
and both women and men are
welcomed to come. The event is
supposed to be all inclusive, with
perspectives from both men and
women on the topic. Newton, a
male panel member, is participat-
ing to show his support and per-
spective on the matter.

The event will be held on
Thursday, April 5 at 5 p.m. in the
Science and Technology Building,
Room .C307. Any questions can
be directed to Allison Danell via
e-mail at danella@ecu.edu.

RONNIE WOODWARD
ASST. SPORTS EDITOR

Down 7-2, the ECU baseball
team was close to being swept for
the second consecutive road series _
on Sunday against Tulane.

But with two outs in the sev-
enth inning, the bats came alive
and the Pirates were able to
score six runs, picking up their
first road victory of the season.

oThey don Tt quit and I think
that Ts a great characteristic to
have, ? said ECU Head Coach Billy
Godwin after the Pirates got a simi-
lar victory over UNC Wilmington.

Senior Ryan Tousley led the
charge on Sunday after the Pirates
suffered two losses to open the
series. Tousley went 5-for-5 on
Sunday and had a clutch hit to give
the Pirates the lead in the seventh as
he hit a two-run homer off Tulane Ts
stud closer, Daniel Latham. Tous-
ley Ts home run gave the Pirates an
8-7 lead, which they would later add
three runs to, and finished the game
with four RBIs. Tousley has now
pushed his home run total to seven
and RBI total to 33 on the year.

oEverybody is. picking each
other up, ? said Pirate short-

stop Dale Mollenhauer. oEvery-
body is just coming together
to do their job and in the key
situation everybody did it. ?

Although the series ended
well for the 22nd ranked Pirates,
Friday Ts 2-1 loss to Tulane was
a heartbreaker and broke ECU Ts
nation-long winning streak of 14.

Despite a strong pitching
performance from starter T.J.
Hose, who allowed only two runs
and six hits in six innings, the

Pirates didn Tt make the most of .

their opportunities to pick up the
win. ECU loaded the bases twice
but Tulane starting pitcher Sean
Morgan shut the door on two
separate rallies, securing the win
for the Green Wave.

ECU loaded the bases with no
outs in the fifth inning after Ryan
Wood, Harrison Eldridge and Dale
Mollenhauer all reached safely.

Morgan then struck out the
next three batters, keeping the
score at 2-1 and ending ECU Ts best
chance for.a comeback.

Two innings later, the Pirates
loaded the bases again, this time
with two outs, and Morgan again
recorded a strike out to end the
Pirate Ts rally.

Pirates sweep doubleheader with style

ECU scores victories
over Barton and
Wingate

STEPHANIE FU
STAFF WRITER

The ECU women Ts soccer
team made the Pirate Nation
proud this weekend, bringing
in two victories against Barton
College and Wingate University
at Bunting Field.

ECU got off to a great start
in the first game. Before halftime,
the Pirates were already up by
two against Barton College.

Patty Pierce scored the first
goal of the second half three min-
utes into play. She headed the ball
into the goal after a corner kick
from the right side.

Shortly after the goal by
Pierce, Jessica Swanson con-
nected on a breakaway shot with
24 minutes left in regulation.

ECU kept the offensive pres-
sure on Barton. With 12 minutes
left in the game, freshman Alexis
Foltz made a strong kick at the
goal, but the Barton goalie made
a spectacular diving save.

However, Foltz would continue
to pursue. Two minutes later, she
came back strong and got the ball
by the Barton goalie.

This capped off the Pirates
barrage of goals.

Seven seconds remained as
Barton tried to prevent a shutout
game, but was unsuccessful as Jen
Kurowicki saved a goal. Continu-
ous offensive pressure from the
Pirates brought the final score to
5-0, giving ECU its first victory
of the day.

The second game of the day
was against Wingate University.

ECU opened up the second half

leading Wingate, 1-0.
Six minutes into the second
half, Jami Dickerson corner

kicked the ball from the right. It
was deflected to Madison Keller,
who headed the ball for ECU Ts
second goal.

Three minutes later, Nicole
Moore ran after the ball and tried
to gain control of it when she col-
lided with the Wingate goalie.
The Wingate goalie was down
for about a minute after taking
a strong blow to the head from
Moore. Wingate was rewarded
with an indirect penalty kick for
the foul.

In the 21 minutes left in the
second half, Wingate scored on
a long goal from the left side, to
bring the score to 2-1.

Four minutes later, ECU
responded when Sarah Kirkley
made a spin move and dished the
ball to Caylin Sandke for another
Pirate goal.

With a little more than eight
minutes left in the game, another
Wingate player went down after
an attempted goal.

Kurowicki, tried to stop the

breakaway goal and kicked the 3

Wingate player in the stomach.
The clock was stopped and a
substitute was put in for the hurt
Wingate player.

The Pirates finished off the
game defeating Wingate Uni-
versity, 3-1.

oWins and losses don Tt really
matter as much, ? said ECU Head
Coach Rob Donnenwirth. oThe
main thing is that we develop
all of our players individually.
During the spring, we have a dif-
ferent mindset where we try play-
ers in different positions. Today
was a good day and I think they
played well.

Donnenwirth added, oI
thought today was a good break-
out day for freshman. Foltz and
Swanson had very good days
today. Now they already have a

season under their belt. I treat the

spring as a preseason for the fall

The ECU women Ts soccer team held both Barton and Wingate in check
on the offensive side of the ball, with minimal shots taken on goal.

to make these players improve,
recruit new players and hopefully
be ready come fall. ?

ECU Ts only loss of the spring
season came against the Univer-
sity of South Carolina about a
month ago.

oI think we played some
good teams this spring like Old
Dominion, where it was a 0-0
tie, and South Carolina which
was. our only loss this spring. I
think we learned a lot, ? said Don-
nenwirth.

The Pirates hope that their
successful spring will give them
some momentum heading into
next fall.

oA lot of what we do in the
spring leads into the summer and
we try to leave a good taste in our
mouths for the fall, ? said Keller.

In the fall, the ECU women Ts
soccer team will once again face
some of the more challenging
teams in the country.

With this weekend Ts victories,
a good taste in their mouths

will certainly be on the menu

with improving tactics and team

effort.

The Pirates road woes con-

to the Green Wave 8-2.

ECU now has a.1-5 record
on the road compared to
a 20-7 record at home. The
Pirates also sit in fifth place
in C-USA with a 4-2 record.

oYou get a little out of your
comfort level when you go on the
road, ? Godwin said. oYou're not
at home and playing in front of
your home fans so we talk about
making plays that can create posi-
tive energy for our club, and on
the road you have to do that to
quiet the fans that are there. ?

ECU will look for revenge

oThere Ts no quit and we have

(SID) "Redshirt freshman
tailback Norman Whitley rushed
for 233 yards and three touch-
downs while Junior quarter-
back Patrick Pinkney threw for
three scores to highlight ECU Ts
second full intra-squad scrim-
mage Friday afternoon at Dowdy-
Ficklen Stadium.

Whitley, who picked up 73
yards on the first of his 18 car-
ries, scored from seven, 53 and
one yard out while splitting time
on the Pirates No. 2 and 3 offen-
sive units. Pinkney, who finished
the contest completing 12-of-16
passes for 96 yards, connected
with Whitley, Davon Drew and
Steven Rogers on nine, four
and seven-yard scoring tosses,
respectively.

In the opening half, each No.
1 unit faced off against the No.
2 squad across the line of scrim-
mage while the second period
featured a more traditional match
up of equal levels of the depth
chart.

oWell, scrimmage No. 2 is in
the books, and at first-glance for
a physical afternoon, I think we
finished today relatively healthy, ?
head coach Ship Holtz said. oWe
went, 130-140 plays and I think we
are getting to a point where we
are running the ball better than
we have in the past. ?

While the second and third
offensive units accounted for seven
of the game Ts eight touchdowns,
the No. 1 defense surrendered just
one score during the game. After
sophomore Brett Clay hooked up
with sophomore Jamar Bryant on

Junior QB Pa rick Pinkney rops ack to make a pass.

Whitley highlights second scrimmage

a 45-yard TD strike during the
No. 2 unit Ts first possession, the
top-rated defense-bounced back
to hold the No. 2 unit scoreless
during its remaining four series T
of the first half before shutting
out the No. 1 offense on all four of
its second half possessions.

With sophomore Rob Kass
engineering ECU Ts top unit, the
offense opened the game with a
long sustaining drive which was
capped by a:one-yard TD run by
senior Chris Johnson. Clay and
Pinkney both took turns guiding
the No. 2 unit, which scored on
five of its 10 possessions. Com-
bined, the Pirates finished the
scrimmage with 746 yards of total
offense on 140 plays - an average
of 5.3 yards per snap.

oWe can only get better from
each practice and scrimmage, ?
Holtz added. oWe Tve been so
geared toward team work lately,
keying on down and distance
awareness and situational plays. ?

In all, ECU completed 37-of-
62 passes for 367 yards while suf-
fering a pair of interceptions and
contributed 379 rushing yards on
78 carries, an average of 4.9 yards
per attempt.

Kass finished the contest
completing 13-of-26 passes for
111 yards while Clay topped all
quarterbacks with 140 yards
on nine-of-14 passing, which
included the TD strike to Bryant
to open the action.

In addition to Whitley's game-
high numbers, Johnson contrib-
uted 72 yards on 18 carries, junior

yards on 11 attempts and junior
Brandon Simmons chipped in 35
yards on eight rushes. Bryant led
all receivers with five catches for
78 yards while redshirt freshman
Dwayne Harris netted 66 yards
on four receptions. Drew, a Junior
tight end, logged a trio of grabs
for 24 yards while converted
wide receiver Michael Hickman
also registered three catches for
24 yards.

Defensively, sophomore line-
backer Nick Johnson was credited
with 10 stops while sophomore
linebacker Lorenzo Osborne
and redshirt freshman safety
Melvin Patterson each tallied
eight stops.

The Pirates T defense did enjoy
several highlights, using a pair of
interceptions to thwart possible
scoring drives. Junior walk-on
defensive back Kurtis von Bargen
picked off a Clay pass before
sophomore linebacker Jeremy
Chambliss stepped in front of
a Kass attempt and returned it
22 yards. Chambliss, who also
made five tackles, recorded the
game Ts only fumble recovery and
produced a sack.

oAs a staff, we are starting
to feel good about some things, ?
Holtz concluded. oI can Tt say we're
consistently playing well, but
we're certainly making progress
and have been very physical on
both sides of the ball. ?
