On November 6, Pitt County
will hold its municipal elections
for City Council positions as
well as the Mayor, Alderman and
Commissioner seats.
The Greenville City Coun-
cil, which is responsible for
establishing the general poli-
cies of the city, is made up of
the mayor, five District Council
members and one at-large City
Council Member.
The City Council enacts
ordinances, adopts the annual
~s
HumorFest and
conference to be held
WHITNEY JENKINS
STAFF WRITER
The first ECU Humor Festival
and Conference will bé held Nov. 1
through Nov. 3. Author and N.C.
native Jill McCorkle, poet and
screenwriter Andrei Codrescu,
and Texas musician and novelist
Kinky Friedman are the keynote
speakers.
Deciding who would be the
best to kick-off the first ever ECU
HumorFest, were the tour dates of
the presenters, and the price range
of the coordinators.
oWe attempted to pull people
that would present humor in many
different ways, ? said Carol Wood-
ruff, director of co-curricular pro-
budget, approves the financing
of all operations and authorizes
contracts on behalf of the city.
oCity Council is the governing
body for the city of Greenville, ?
said Larry Spell, the current
District 3 Council Member.
oWe have a council-manager
form of government, so the day
to day activities of the city are
run by the City Manager, and
the City Council is there to
advise and make policy deci-
sions. The idea is that the City
Council should be made up of
people from all walks of life
that bring different perspectives
from throughout the city. ?
Although many students
do not realize it, the council
is responsible for policies that
cae
grams and cultural outreach. oOur »
focus was on satire and parody
humor. ?
The laugh-out-loud, three-day
event will feature a film and perfor- '
mance festival that includes stand-
up, improv comedy, joke contests
and silly songs.
oHumor as an art form rarely
attracts the serious attention it
deserves, ? said Tom Douglass, ECU
professor of English, co-chair of
the event.
oThe East Carolina HumorFest
intends to correct this omission and
provide performers, scholars and
students an opportunity to enjoy
humor in all of its forms. ?
The academic Humor confer-
ence will be presented in all its
forms, in which scholars explore
humor in therapy, art, literature,
film and dance.
oIt Ts exciting because students
are involved in many different ways,
such as planning of the event and

those presenting papers from other
universities, ? Douglass said.
The festival provides a rare
opportunity for performers, schol-
ars and students to interact and
enjoy humor from all dimensions.
oWe [Tom Douglass and
I] were thinking, over coffee in
Mendenhall Student Center, what
would be an interesting initiative
that would unite academic activities
with those outside of the classroom, ?
Woodruff said. oLet Ts incorporate |
other realms of humor. ?

affect them on a daily basis.
oStudents are Greenville
citizens and they are affected
by the decisions that the City
Council makes, ? Spell said.
oThey are affected by policies
about garbage pickup, housing,
police protection and how many
parks or greenways we have. ?
In this year Ts election, sev-
eral candidates have empha-
sized safety as a major issue in
Greenville and most students
agree that crime is a problem
in the city.

the first thing I would do is want

oI think it would be a good
idea to have those emergency

campus, but also throughout
the neighborhoods surrounding

should put more focus on keep-

of ECU.
The idea of bringing this
artist to ECU stemmed form two
main factors about homecoming
that that the students felt should
be changed.
The concert Ts first objective
is to give students entertainment
at ECU for homecoming, instead
of them having to go to other
schools to enjoy homecoming fes-
tivities, according to Tucker.
They were following the model
of other schools that traditionally
have concerts during their week of
homecoming, according to Patrick
Dixon, president of BSU.
The second issue that encour-
aged the sponsors to have this
concert is the intentions of
the groups to create more events
that promote more diversity and
minority participation in Home-
coming.
oWe both had a common
goal to provide entertainment for
homecoming for students that are
interested in having a concert of
the R&B/Hip Hop persuasion, ?
Dixon said.
BSU and Muschismo Enter-
tainment have invested a lot of
time into planning the concert.
BSU has been planning the
concert since August, according
to Dixon.

ists since this summer, ? Dixon

oThe growth of our city is
not only inevitable and desir-
able, it can also be exciting
and produce valuable new
jobs, ? said Calvin Mercer,
District 4 candidate.
oIt can provide vibrant new
opportunities for culture, recre-
ation and commerce. However,
our growth must be smart,
planned and beneficial to all
of our citizens; small and large
businesses, and neighborhoods.
Smart growth can address many

WILLIAM HALL
STAFF WRITER
ECU's College of Education
and Project HEART (High
Expectations for At-Risk Teens)
have collaborated to organize a
Service Learning Initiative.
The event will consist of
two days of training for Project
HEART' Ts tutors, the first being
held tomorrow and the second
to be held Dec. 6.
Both sessions will be held
at the City Hotel and Bistro
in Greenville from 8 a.m. to
4 p.m.
Joan Libtrot, executive
director of the Institute for
Global Education and Service
Learning, will provide the
training.
The goals for the first ses-
sion are to introduce the ele-
ments of effective service learn-
ing and to increase understand-
ing of how service learning can
address community needs.
The objectives for the
second session will be learn-
ing how to equip and assist

implementing their own service
projects.
Students from all over east-
ern N.C. are expected to attend
the sessions, coming from
schools such as Barton College,
Lenoir Community College and
Campbell University.
Faculty members from the
College of Education will be on
hand to solicit input and to aid
in training.
After the sessions, the
tutors and their students will
work with host teachers to look
around at their community and
look for possible interventions.
oIt Ts not just isolated with
a teacher standing in front of
a group, ? said Betty Beacham,
director of Project HEART.
oIt Ts learning by doing,
which is a wonderful way of
getting kids to feel that they can
give to their community. ?
Project HEART began after
a 2001 meeting between Govy-
ernor Jim Hunt and the dean of
the College of Education, John
Swope, to see how AmeriCorp
funds could benefit the N.C.
families that were affected by
Hurricane Floyd.
_ Since then, the project has
become ECU Ts AmeriCorp
initiative that trains students
to be tutors for at-risk teens in
eastern N.C. elementary, middle
and high schools.
Their goal is to reduce
dropout rates and help students
succeed academically.
oMany of our kids don Tt see
a future, ? Beacham said.
oThey feel like there Ts noth-
ing for them after high school,
and we're trying to change that
mindset. ? 5
Project HEART tutors
receive a living allowance and
become eligible for educational
awards for their commitment
to provide 900 hours of service
over a 12-month period.
Since its inception in 2000,
the organization has gained
more than 500 tutors to serve
approximately 6,000 students.
The organization is part-
nered with the North Carolina
Commission on Volunteerism
and Community Service and
the Boy and Girls Club.
Project HEART is also
looking for ways to partner
with the ECU Volunteer Center
to pool resources, provide train-
ers and get ECU faculty more
involved in service learning.

HumorFest event.
HumorFest was approximately
one year in the making. There will
be guests from 11 different states
and 33 universities. |
oWe've got professors from
Italy, Montreal, England..., ?
Woodruff said. oWhen we began
getting proposals from faculty
out of the country, we knew it
was big. ?
Students are strongly encour-
aged to attend HumorfFest. Tickets
must be obtained at the box office.
oGet your tickets now to ensure
that you will have a good seat, ?
Woodruff said.
oEverything is free for ECU
students, except for the dinner
and the luncheon, ? said Woodruff.
oThis includes all performances,
all panels and programs. ?
The cost is $25 for students
of other campuses and $80 for all
other participants, including the
public, faculty and staff. Individual
tickets for each event are $15 in
advance and $20 at the door.
All events, except for the
Kinky Friedman event, will take
place at Mendenhall Student
Center.
A campus-wide cream pie-toss
will kick off events at noon, Nov. 1,
at the Mendenhall Student Center
brickyard.

cerning her excitement about

student-oriented initiatives that
Tripp plans to address.
Within the next few weeks,
the Greenville City Council
plans to meet with the executive
board of SGA to discuss issues
that are important to students.
oWe are trying to have
more of an involvement with the
Student Government Associa-
tion, ? Spell said.
oWe are looking forward
to meeting with the executive
board so that the City Council
can have better communica-
tion with the student body. We
want to understand the needs of
the students and work to meet
those needs. ?
Some students are already
making efforts to gain aware-
ness about the significance
of the decisions that the City
Council makes.
oI feel it is imperative for
students to vote in this election
because a lot is at stake. Crime,
traffic, and landlord issues
can hit home to a lot of us, ?
said Daniel Spuller, graduate
student at ECU and campaign
manager for Mercer.
The candidates encourage
students to vote on Election Day
to get their voices heard and
make a difference in Greenville.
oAll of the issues that affect
someone who has lived here for
30 years affect someone who
has lived here for only three
months, ? Spell said.
Others agree that the issues
that the candidates are address-
ing affect citizens regardless of
the amount of time they reside
in Pitt County.
oMost students live in
Greenville for at least 9 months
out of the year. During that
time, we use the roadways,
infrastructure and city services.
It is important to remember
that voting gives students a say
in the direction that Greenville
goes, ? Spuller said.

[Trey Songz] would be a good
fit, T Dixon said.
The entertainer has released
two albums, I Gotta Make It and
Tre Day, both of which peaked
at positions within the top ten
on the R&B/Hip Hop Album
chart, according to the Billboard
Web site.
While some students are
excited about having this artist
help celebrate homecoming with
the university, they may go with-
out considering the measures
that had to be taken to make it
happen.
The issue of the cost curtailed
the plans for many of the artists
that could have been chosen for
the concert.
Although the artist fell within
the price range the sponsors could
afford, it still resulted in a large
price to be paid.
The overall price of the event
is in the range of $20,000, accord-
ing to Dixon.

oThe funds are coming out of
BSU and Muchismo Entertain-
ment.
The students involved in the
entertainment group were so pas-
sionate about organizing the event
they pitched in some money from
their personal accounts.
oWe have been saving that
money for a year and it Ts coming
out of our pockets, ? Tucker said.
The event is advertised as the
first homecoming concert at ECU,
according to the various promo-
tional materials for the event.
While ECU has not had a
large number of big-name per-
formers for homecoming, estab-
lished comedians and musicians
have come to ECU in the past for
other occasions.
oIn the past we have had
some pretty large groups. Most
of them came here in the 1970s
and 1980s, ? said Michael Caple,
president of Student Union.
Student Union does not have
any events planned for homecom-
ing due to other activities that
are planned within the same time
vicinity.
Nothing has been planned for
homecoming because of a comedy
show and Midnight Madness,
according to Caple.
Student Union strives to bring
entertainers to campus who are
well known, but they aren Tt always
able to accomplish this goal due to
monetary issues.
oWe try to get the person
that Ts right on the brink but
doesn Tt break the piggy bank, ?
Caple said.
Some of the comedians and
musicians students have expressed
the most interest in coming to
campus have been eliminated auto-
matically because of the cost.
The comedian that students
want to perform at the comedy

Dont waste
our time
Apathy all too common in the
classroom
RACHEL KING
OPINION EDITOR
Have you ever gotten to class, only to find it
more than half empty with two minutes until go
time? T Even after the first quarter of class, people
still manage to straggle in, without so much as the
effort to close the door quietly. Sometimes. you get
those classes with the silent majority "the students
that sit behind their desks through the entire period,
refusing to open their mouths because they haven't
bothered to do their homework. What happened to
being in college because you wanted to learn? Why
waste the time of everyone who wants to get some-
thing out of it?
First of all, Tm sure some of you will need some
kind of clarification as to what I mean by an apa-
thetic student. T These students are not having a bad
day...unless they Tre counting having to be in class at
all. We all have days where we Td like to be somewhere
else, professors included, I Tm sure. And there are days
when you can Tt avoid being late, and that Ts fine, too.
It Ts called life. T .
However, these kids act like they Td rather have
to see the dentist for a root canal than be forced to
listen to an hour (not even! 50 measly minutes...an
hour fifteen, tops...I do pity the three-hour warriors,
though...three hours is always too much). Why is it
so hard for you all to be timely and to at least feign
interest for the people who bust their butts to make
sure you take away the information you need to be
successful?
Some of you may say, Well, that argument Ts
flawed. I'll never need Algebra I again...nor basic
Biology. And I don Tt care what Shakespeare said. I can
speak English just fine and I saw 10 Things I Hate
About You. My bases are covered. T But are they?
At least a dozen times during the semester, I Tll
leave a class and overhear a student remarking on
how pointless the class is, or how they aren Tt learning
anything, or how dumb the professor is. Well, I have
two ideas for you on how to improve your less-than-
desirable situation: drop the class or (if you have to
have it), make sure you state your concerns on those
annoying little bubble sheets we get at the end of every
semester asking us to rate the class and the professor.
Those little sheets that so many of us like to bubble
in straight nines in a one-through-ten lineup on are
one way to remedy future students T same grievances.
Bottom line here: do your part, get out, or shut up.
Some students seem to be forgetting the basic
tenant of student-professor relationship.
It Ts called respect.
I cannot express the frustration I feel when I
am sitting in class, ready to roll, and the professor
asks a basic reading comprehension question from
last night Ts homework...and no one answers because
either they didn Tt do their homework or can Tt be
bothered. In far too many of my classes, people are
freezing up and hiding behind their bank-breaking
textbooks. You paid all that money for them; why
don Tt you use them?
And yes, I do answer the professor when a ques-
tion is posed to the class and no one else will speak
up. I Tm a bit of an overachiever, it Ts true, but I don Tt go
out of my way every night to make sure I have witty
things to say, or go any farther than anyone goes
who Ts conscious of his or her academic success. It Ts one
thing to be shy, and quite another to just not care. I Td
venture to say that most professors aren't asking you
to perform brain surgery, so what Ts the problem?
How would you feel if you tried for over half an
hour to start a meaningful discussion just to have it
die on you because two of the 23 (out of 30 "the other
five are asleep, and one is actively snoring) students
in your class won't have anything to do with you?
And you can forget about calling students like that
out on something basic like consistently coming to
class unprepared. They roll your eyes at you. They
whisper base insults to each other behind their palms
openly. They let their phones ring in class and act
like it Ts no big deal. In some of the larger lecture ses-
sions, you may even find someone on his or her cell,
discussing the previous night Ts drunken excursions
with someone else in another classroom. This kind
of overt, disparaging, and yes "crappy "disrespect
is far too prevalent for my tastes.
It Ts not that these people aren't intelligent; I think
most of them are. Their interests just don Tt lie in the
daily classroom grind. I also recognize that for many
of us, especially when it comes to the general educa-
tion requirements of an ECU degree, these classes
are just stepping stones to the next exciting thing
we'll do in life.
I ask everyone to take a second look at your
classroom conduct. Is it respectful? Would it kill
you to silence your phone before it goes off? Could
you manage to stay awake for the class period? If you
can Tt, why don Tt you leave? Can you imagine how you
make your professors feel? And, seriously, professors,
it Ts your responsibility to not to tolerate that kind of
thing. You've paid your dues; you deserve to have an
active, alert, prepared classroom environment that Ts
engaging and inspiring. No, it won't be that way every
day; because this is not a perfect world, but I think
there Ts plenty of room for improvement.
So please, I love you for reading our Pirate Rants,
but put the newspaper down. Youre in-class, for
goodness T sake.

There. Their. They're. There is a
difference. Learn it, love it, live it.
| hate when people respond to other
people Ts Rants; it Ts a waste of time to
even read it.
Ever had a reason to smile so much
that your face actually hurts? It Ts
great, isn Tt it? :
| miss Pop-Up Video...those were so
fun to watch, and | learned so much
useless information.
| hate when teachers write directions
on the syllabus and then they change
the instruction but never update the
syllabus. How am | supposed to
remember every little detail when you
change your mind everyday?!
The middle of class is not the time for
your Egg McMuffin.
What's the deal with students having
to pay for bubble sheets? | don't
know of any schools outside of North
Carolina that have this policy.
Assaults on campus have been
occurring more frequently, isn Tt it
time for ECU to step up and protect
the students. | don Tt want to walk to
my car from a night class scared
that something may happen to me!
A pamphlet telling you to walk in
groups is not always going to save
you. | admire the administration for
making us aware of the problem,
but PLEASE do something more
than talk!
How many licks does it take to get to
the center of a tootsie pop? Really?
To the library supervisor " thanks
for reminding me to be quiet on the
first floor of the library- by the TV,
espresso machine, computers, and
multitudes of people chatting around
me. | don Tt know what | would do
without you!
You're so vain; you probably think this
Rant is about you. Don Tt you?
So last week, my car was towed,
which | would normally take blame
for, but this time it was towed from
RIGHT OUTSIDE MY HOUSE! My
house! Mine! | parked otoo close ? to
MY driveway... $90 later, I Tm thinking
to myself- oWTF is wrong with this
town? ?
Can someone please tell my why it
is always so cold in the buildings on
campus? I Tve been here 4 years, and
they have never been able to get the
room temperature right. It Ts always
too hot in the winter, and freezing in
the sue Something Ts not right
here!
I'm in love with you, you idiot. Dump
the girlfriend so we can go out to
dinner.
Over the past week, | have seen
many girls and one guy wearing pink
shorts hit the handicap button on
the doors around campus instead of
opening it themselves. Why do they
do this? | personally thank God | have
the ability to open the door myself, but
I guess you can Tt expect a guy in pink
shorts to open his own door.
Stop discriminating against people
that aren't dorks and like to go out on
Friday and Saturday.
Did you see that bus driver who hit
the fence last week? | am not sure
how | feel about 18 year olds who are.
_ fesponsible for a 25,000 Ib vehicle...
To the person whose car was towed
for being otoo close to the driveway ?: |
feel you, | gota ticket for parking in my
driveway the wrong way. Best part
is, the ticket was $50, and it would
be $500 to appeal it. So | just flip
off the meter maid that rides around
near campus.
I'm so lucky...everday | am always the
10,000th or 100,000th or 1,000,000th
person to visit a website.
| don Tt give a crap what othey ? do in
your little country town that no one Ts
heard of - we're in Greenville now.
When | go to bed with a girl, they
always insist on sleeping against the
wall. Why is that?
Why do we need all of these
numbered and reserved parking
spaces for campus administrators?
These parking spaces are often
noticeably empty. | agree that the
chancellor should have a reserved
space, but everyone else should park
on the basis of oGet to work first, park
closer to where you work. ? Set the
example for others to follow.
Could someone please tell my co-
worker that just because | look at

cheating on his wife with her) that |
DON'T want him? Thanks.

Dear roommate, I Tve kept quiet all
year long but you need to hear this;
I'm begging you, less cologne more
showers. 3 showers per week are not
enough, and it is too hot for you not
to shower on a daily basis!
| hate when passengers see the bus
about to pull away from the stop, but
they still walk slow talking on their
cell phone. That is why | leave them
standing there
I Tm in love with a librarian. She stares

your ass is going to get slapped. See

The debate: Macs vs. PCs
Which computer is better?
LISA ENSMINGER
OPINION WRITER
Macs or PCs? What do you prefer? Most of you
would say PC because it is what you are used to and
the easiest navigation, but you may find yourself
missing out on the new and improved Mac com-
puter. Most of you may remember when Macs used
to be oghetto ? back in the day when they had every
color of the rainbow desktop and PC was the oit ?
computer, but Macs have made a huge comeback
with their high style and improved technology.
When it came time to buying a computer
for my college career, I had no clue what to buy
because I had no knowledge on computers. The
Mac store was always packed when I passed it in
the mall, leaving me wondering how good these
computers actually were. I ended up purchasing a
Mac and J fell in love with it because it made life
so much easier (well that Ts a little exaggeration),
but the computer was a well-worth-it purchase.
There are many reasons to like a Mac better
than a PC, because, simply, the computer just
works well. Even software such as Microsoft
Office is compatible with your. Mac that was
found on your old PC. Not only can you find your
necessary applications, you have lots of oamazing
stuff ? such as iPhoto, iTunes, and iMovie. These
applications allow you to create, modify, or edit
photos and movies, along with a library of music
and iTunes store to purchase additional music,
DVDs, and more. Not only does the Mac provide
amazing software and applications, the laptop and
desktop is no computer you would be ashamed
of with its high style and flair. Mac laptops are ©
more on the classy and cute side, with a color
choice of black or white, rather than the bulky,
boring, PC laptop. The slim style makes it easy to
carry around with you to class and provide less
of a hassle. If you are not looking for a laptop, the
desktops are even more convenient with one big
screen and no ugly tower. Also with extremely
crisp and clear color and graphics, you cannot go
wrong with purchasing a Mac that fits your style.
Now I am no computer expert or anything,
but I Tve always had bad experiences with PCs.
My computers back in the day crashed one
after another because viruses would continually
attack it, even if I did have Norton Anti-Virus
software, that I constantly updated and paid for
regularly. My PC would always be extremely slow
and freeze, leaving me to restart the computer,
and even losing that paper I just spent three hours
working on. Another downfall of the PC is that
other companies constantly rebuild software and
update operating systems, providing continuous
change and confusion to the users. Who wants a
computer continuously crashing, changing, and
failing to perform properly? [Editor Ts note: Mac
has a reputation for building upon its previous
OS where, say, Windows, for instance, reinvents
itself, as is the case with Vista, its most recent
OS, which met with a considerable amount of
controversy due to bugs T in the system and
kinks that needed to be worked out after release]
From my personal experience, Mac has the
better performance and reliability out of the
two choices. If you are looking for a laugh and
a funny but true: comparison, check out the
commercial ads of Mac vs. PC at apple.com.

Allow fans to duke it out
oALEX LAROCCA
OPINION WRITER
For those us who managed to get tickets to
the game this past Saturday, it is needless to say
we were mighty upset. As we all know, on paper,
ECU should have had that game, but unfortunately
reality played a better show for State fans. I will
admit I was just plain pissed come oNo Quarter, ?
but contrary State Fans were very pleased. Earlier
in the game my friends and I were screaming and
very amped for a Pirate victory. After first quar-
ter I needed some Dippin T Dots and so I went to
quench this hunger. While walking back up to row
XX, I saw two guys getting led away by police. I
knew what must have happened but since they were
dressed as frats, I couldn Tt tell who they were for
or against. This was true until I saw two friends
of mine getting led by the Police.
As it turns out, while I was gone, the two State
fans began talking a lot of garbage to some Pirate
girls seated behind us. A friend of mine had enough
and so the bickering began. A cop came and took
away the two state fans and later my two friends,
one of which wasn Tt really involved. After taking
them away, they were kicked out of the game. Now,
those who went to get these tickets know how hard
it was to get them. I personally waited four hours
for them and so did one of my friends who got
kicked out AND there wasn Tt even a fight!
When I went to the UNC-ECU game, a
drunken UNC fan was going up and down the
aisles bothering everyone with his loud mouth--
until a much bigger ECU fan got into his face and
punched it. This in turn led to the police taking
both of them away. We didn Tt see them agaily but I
would bet the UNC fan would have shut up the rest
of the game if the cops hadn't shown up.
So what, I say. If you are going to run your
mouth at a football game, a hockey game, baseball
game, etc. then you better be ready to either shut up
or fight because this is the sporting world we live
in. mean America is almost a little girl in compari-
son to what some soccer hooligans do in Europe or
South America. In Moscow they stationed 6,000
cops to prevent a riot when Britain came to play
and in Argentina two fans were killed, one shot
and the other stabbed. In retrospect who cares if
two State Fans got knocked in a little. I doubt it
would have led to the entire stadium erupting into
rioting chaos.
I am not pleading for no police or some kind of
sports fighting arena I am just simply saying this
Zero Tolerance rule seems to go a little far. If there
isn Tt even a fight, why kick someone out of a game?
If there is a fight then break it up, but are arrests
and possible criminal charges always necessary? I
don Tt think so. I say live and let be, but to the guy ©
who punches my team Ts enemy fan, oh well.

Most students are familiar
with the clubs and bars that line
downtown Greenville.
If you mention the Spazza-
torium, however, very few will
have heard of it and even fewer
will know its location.
The oSpazz ? is not an elitist
club, but rather an esoteric haven
for those devoted to music and
art; its location obscure to protect
the nature of its atmosphere.
Spazz Ts atmosphere is envel-
oped in original sound and the
erratic community art on the
walls.-Think of your parent's
basement, but way cooler.
oWe avoid putting fliers in
mainstream places, ? said Jeff
Blimder, Spazz Ts co-owner and
an ECU senior. oIt Ts mostly about
networking. If you're looking for
it, you'll find it. ?
Blimder got the idea for an
underground club by under-
ground shows he attended in
Boston. These shows were the °
inspiration behind Spazz,
which caters to those
with a taste for the
underground
scene. Since its
opening a
year ago,
Blimder said his objective has
been to provide a place for art
and music, and the club has far
exceeded his expectations.
Shows at the Spazz are diverse,
as the Spazz features bands from
Norway, Japan, Canada, France
and Germany. The Spazz has
also been host to oRa Ra Riot, ? a
popular punk band that brought
along with it a reporter from
the Boston Globe and oThe Silent
Years, ? which have been featured
in Spin Magazine and MTV.
oThere are not a lot of places
in North Carolina to play and
Greenville is a good strategic
location, ? Blimder said. oSome-
times I find them, or booking
agents find us. ?
Blimder also says he utilizes
MySpace to attract those in and
around the Greenville area.
oSometimes I get two pages
a day of bands wanting to come
[to the club], ? he said.
Bands like the overall
Spazz environment
and are usually

chance to play at the club.
oI play here every chance I
get. It Ts easygoing and accept-
ing, ? said Corbie Hill of the band
oMillion Dollar Sunset, ? who
heard about the Spazz through
word of mouth.
The band oDead to Society ?
will be holding a benefit concert
for the Spazz in Durham.
- The Spazz is not limited to
music, however.
oSometimes bands follow art °
shows or vice versa, [and] they
travel around like a caravan, o
The co-owner hopes
to continue provid-
ing good art shows
and perfor-
mance art
as well.
Greenville Ts new underground club, the Spazzatorium, was developed by ECU student Jeff Blimder who got the idea for the hot spot from going to underground shows in Boston.
The Spazzatorium:
®
Bands like oMillion Dollar Sunset ? and oDead to Society ? have played at the new club.
Although the Spazz is a club, it
does not serve alcohol.
The Spazz does take donations,
which go toward the bands and
artists but are not expected to
exceed $5.

Krakauer authored the famous book Into the Wild T, depicting the story of a young man living in Alaska.
Into the Wild T tells
journey of young man
JESSICA DUNLOW
STAFF WRITER
Many students studying
English in high school and col-
lege alike have been required to
read Into the Wild, a text written
by Jon Krakauer.
How much can we really
understand about a boy who
abandoned everything, only to
die namelessly as Alexander
Supertramp in a bus in the
Alaskan interior?
Krakauer, a journalist for
Outdoor magazine, was assigned
a story on a young man Ts body
found in a bus in the infamous
Alaskan terrain, and begins
the novel with the discovery of
the body by three insignificant
characters. Even at the begin-
ning of the book, readers see
the picture of a man smiling in
front of the very bus that would
become his deathbed.
Christopher McCandless,
a college graduate, was some-
where around age 23 when
his body was found, and it is
Krakauer Ts story that examines
how his journey began and how
it ultimately ended. |
McCandless was from an
affluent family in northern
Virginia, and according to his
diaries, he donated his some
$25,000 in savings to charity,
burned the cash in his pocket
and set off on an adventure to
the West after he graduated
from college.
Why would such a lucky
young man abandon his family
and friends?
This question remains a
mystery to readers, but the
journals that McCandless left
behind hoped to provide clues to
Krakauer as he did his research
on the death of the young
man.
Krakauer introduces to
readers the faces of McCand-
less T journey into the wild,

Emerge Gallery exhibits new artists
How students can get
involved
ELISE PHILLIPS
FEATURES EDITOR
Emerge Gallery and Art
Center, located in downtown
Greenville on Evans St., fea-
tures budding artists from
around the city in its five differ-
ent galleries. Artwork is not the
only thing that Emerge features,
however.
The gallery offers diverse
classes to students and the com-
munity alike in areas such as
pottery, photography, painting
_and textiles.
Since its opening in 2000
by several ECU art students,
Emerge has grown to service a-
wide variety of interests in the
Greenville area.
According to literature pub-
lished by the gallery, oEmerge
has grown leaps and bounds
over the last five years, tran-
sitioning into the leading arts
organization in Pitt County. ?
Some of the facilities that
Emerge boasts are a pottery
facility, a metal design and
jewelry-making classroom, a
Contributed Photo
photography and printmaking
classroom (with darkroom)
and a general classroom for the
many art courses that the gal-
lery offers.
Emerge offers classes not
only to ECU students, but
to adults and children in and
around the Greenville area.
One of its newest projects is
a mural painted by members of
Emerge in the downtown area.
oStudents between the ages
of 12 and 15 within our Youth
Arts Initiative, Public Art Proj-
ect developed the idea for the
mural from the first concept to
the finished product you now
see on the former Joan Ts Fash-
ion Ts storefront along Evans St., ?
said Heather White, the director
of education and outreach for
Emerge.
The Youth Arts Initiative
and the Public Art Project are
two programs sponsored by
Emerge that target youth in the
Pitt County community. The
Youth Arts Initiative provides
one completely free class for
every five classes that are paid
for (by others) to disadvantaged
youth in Pitt County. Likewise,

which include the trucker that
dropped him off at the edge of
the forest in Alaska, a former
employer in North Dakota and
a married couple of vagabonds
with whom McCandless hitch-
hiked with through northern
California.
The novel also tackles the
different views of McCand-
less T journey by readers of the
original article. Many Alaskan
natives sent Krakauer com-
plaints that are cited in the text,
and most stated simply that an
inexperienced college boy had
a odeath wish ? by arriving in
the Alaskan interior without
sufficient supplies and skill.
The Los Angeles Times even
stated that the book is merely a
story of a ostubborn, idealistic
young man. ?
However, the story remains
ART.

somewhat of an inspiration
for those looking for answers,
because according to the find-
ings of Krakauer, based on
materials found with McCand-
less T body and the interesting
people he met along the way,
this is exactly what the young
man was doing.
The mystery unfolds per-
fectly in Krakauer Ts version,
he even inserts his own brush °
with death in the same Alaskan
terrain.
The movie, oInto the Wild, ?
directed by Sean Penn, will be
opening in theatres all over the
country shortly.
Penn ( oI Am Sam ?) picked
up the novel because, he said,
oThe cover grabbed me "the
bus, the image of the bus with
Into the Wild T on it. ?
The movie stars Emile
Hirsch (The Girl Next
Door ?, oLords of Dogtown ?)
as McCandless, who lost 25
pounds for the role and under-
went 8 months of training to get
into the same body shape that
McCandless was presumably
in before his death. The movie
also stars Vince Vaughn and
William Hurt.
The book and the movie are
sure to grip viewers and readers
alike with the timeless mystery
of a young, man facing seem-
ingly insurmountable odds in
the Alaskan wilderness.

JARED JACKSON
STAFF WRITER
The college football season has reached its homestretch, and the Pirates are in conten-
tion for their first C-USA East Division title and berth in the conference title game.
But if ECU [4-4, 3-1] so much as blinks during the final four games
then the season could turn into a major disap- pointment for the Pirate
Nation.
First up for the Pirates in the critical four-
[2-5,1-2], who according to ECU head coach
spoil ECU Ts homecoming when the game kicks
at Dowdy-Ficklen.
oThere are two types of teams playing in
have goals to play for and those who want to spoil
ties, T Holtz said. oWe are very fortunate to still be
conference title. Obviously, we need some help from
somewhere along the way but all we can do is control

tiebreaker because they beat ECU earlier this season.
The Blazers come into Saturday Ts contest after a 49-10
behind the woodshed beating at the hands of Houston in Bir-
mingham, Ala. However, much like N.C. State last week, Holtz
warns that his team faces an opponent that has a solid team whose
record simply overtook it.
oYou can fall into a similar trap with UAB that you did with N.C. State, ?
warned Holtz.
oWe said that'N.C. State had a 1-5 record, but had played some very talented teams.
The same goes for UAB. When you look in conference, they have lost to Tulsa and
Houston and out of conference to Michigan State, Florida State and Mississippi State.
You can take the statistics and records and throw them out of the window. ?
UAB ranks dead last in C-USA in scoring offense, averaging around 20 points a
game, as well as total offense, averaging about 313 yards a game and rushing defense,
giving up about 241 yards.on the ground per game.
First-year UAB head coach Neil Callaway, who came to UAB after a long stint as
offensive Coordinator at Georgia, used to be a part-time assistant at ECU under Pat
Dye and helped the Pirates to a 9-3 mark and Independence Bowl victory in 1978.
oTt will be a game that will be a tremendous challenge for us, ? said Callaway. oI'm
very impressed with what Skip Holtz has done up there, getting that program rejuve-
nated and going in the right direction. ?
Holtz gives Callaway and UAB nothing but credit regardless of its record.
oI think Coach Callaway has done a great job as he has just started. They have a
very scrappy team and they play extremely hard, ? Holtz said of the Blazers.
After the emotional loss to the Wolfpack, Holtz wanted to come into the week
offat 3:30 p.m. Saturday
of preparation for UAB just continuing to play Pirate football.
oJ think the main concern coming into this week is us, ? he said. oWe need to focus
more on what we do and not get concerned with who we are playing. Make whoever it
is earn what they get and let Ts worry about our execution. We have to put a better step
forward. ?
For the three weeks prior to the N.C. State game, the Pirates T offense was on fire.
But after the frustrating loss on Satuday, redshirt sophomore quarterback Rob Kass says
his offense will do whatever it takes to pick up a win this weekend.
oWe definitely have a talented group of tailbacks, T said Kass, who was 28-of-50
against the Wolfpack for 254 yards and one touchdown. oWe're going to do a good job
of pounding it; running it right at them. I think that will open up the play action
pass and if we have to sit back there and pass then we willdo ge _ that too. ?
Kassalso knows the key to pulling out... £ the win against
the Blaz- ers on Saturday will be not _{ turning the ball
over 4 \ toateam that Ts looking to ruin the Pirates
con- 7 ference chances.
oWe can't turn the ball over. Unfor-
tunately, the last two

games we have
that, but we will
pared Saturday, ?
oWe can't overlook
any team because the
next four teams on our
schedule don Tt have the
best record, but they're
coming in and looking to
knock off the leader in the
East right now.
oUAB last year didn Tt have that
great of a record but they knocked us
off in a tough loss. It came down to the last
play so were going to come in with a fire in our
stomach and ready to play. ?
Even with last week Ts loss exposing a lot of
weaknesses on the offensive side of ball for the
Pirates, ECU should win the matchup over a weak
UAB defense that is giving up over 32 points and
480 yards per game. With that said, the offensive
line for the Pirates cannot have a repeat performance
from last Saturday and give up multiple sacks or the
game will swing in favor of the Blazers.
While most Pirate fans think that the defense will
get a little bit of a break from the stiff competition that
ECU has played as of late, this is far from the truth.

and they play extremely hard. They are
playing with freshmen wide receivers that

Freshman Dwayne
Harris is destined for
stardom
KELLEN HOLTZMAN
STAFF WRITER
Growing up as a quarter-
back in Georgia, redshirt fresh-
man Dwayne Harris had little
idea his future would lie as a wide
receiver at ECU.
Harris began his career at
ECU on the scout team as a quar-
terback. After making the switch
to receiver in spring drills, Harris
has emerged as one of the Pirates T -
most valuable weapons.
The Stone Mountain, Ga.
native has 14 catches on the season
for two touchdowns.
While Harris has become a
solid receiver, it is his versatility
that makes him so dangerous. His
passing skills allow ECU to have
two quarterbacks on the field at
once, something that proved to be
convenient in a shootout against
UTEP. Harris connected with
wide receiver Jamar Bryant for 80
yards on a reverse pass play.
oT smiled when coach called it, ?
Harris said of the play. oIt was just
a great play call. Jamar [Bryant]
made a great catch and made two
defenders miss to get in the end
zone for me. ?
Harris displayed more of his
athleticism against the Miners,
exploding for a 57-yard sprint
down the sideline for a rushing
touchdown.
But just because he is listed
as a receiver does not mean his.
quarterback days are over. Harris
is occasionally inserted under
center, typically to run quarterback
keepers.
oWe thought Dwayne [Harris]
was a good quarterback, ? said wide
receivers coach Donnie Kirkpat-
rick, who cited Harris T modest
6-foot stature as cause for the
position switch, oBut we thought
he might have been the best player
on tapeas far as playmaking ability
that we had evaluated in the two
years we've been here. ?
According to Kirkpatrick,
the confusion about where to play
Harris began while he was still in
high school.
oAs a receiver coach I said, I
know he can play receiver, ? said
couldn't do that he could probably
play defensive back. The running
backs coach thought he could
probably be a running back if he
got a little bit bigger. We thought,
oThere Ts no way he ain Tt going to
be something. ?
When Harris isn Tt busy catch-
ing, running or throwing he also
manages to find time returning
punts and kicks. He took over the
punt return duties in the second
game of the season against UNC.
Quarterback Rob Kass
expected Harris to make a smooth
transition from scout team to the
active roster.
oWe had a lot of confidence
in him, ? said Kass. oObviously as
a redshirt player we saw what he
could do out here in practice every
day and now everybody else in the
country is getting an
opportunity to
see what he can
do now that he Ts
out on the field
on Saturday. ?
Harris
caught the
attention
of several
big name
schools
including
Boston
College
and UNC
while lead-
ing Tucker
High School to
a 10-1 record in
2005, with his
team ranking
as high as No. 3
in the Associated
Press Georgia prep
rankings. Harris was
later named MVP of
the North-South All-Star
Game in a state stocked with
football talent.
Quarterback was the only |
position Harris had ever known in
Georgia and ECU wasn't exactly
on his radar.
Harris had aspirations of play-
ing for Maryland before the Terra-
pins opted for another quarterback
and ECU running backs coach
Junior Smith stepped in.
oT considered going to Mary-
land because I had family up
there, ? said Harris. oAnd then
Coach [Ralph] Friedgen called
me one night and said they took
a quarterback. ..I started looking
THE EAST CAROLINIAN ¢ SPORTS
ECU's not-so-secret weapon
the picture late.
oCoach Smith stayed with me,
kept calling me and told me he
was going to stick with me the
whole time. ?
Making the decision to
attend ECU did not come as a
no-brainer to Dwayne, despite
all of the high profile schools
abandoning him. Harris was
not exactly familiar with the
Pirate Nation.
oT didn Tt know anything
about it [ECU] until Coach
Smith called me, ? Harris said. oI
did research on it [ECU] and
everything; I knew a lot of great
quarterbacks like Jeff Blake and
[David] Garrard came out of
here. ?
The surfacing of Harris as
such an impact player has been
crucial to a relatively inexperi-
enced receiving corps. The loss of
two key seniors, Aundrae Allison
and Bobby Good, from last year Ts
squad left ECU without a ogo-to ?
receiver this year.
oThe thing about it is, he
really hasn't played a lot of ball,
so I think he Ts going to be a
; heck of a lot better than
he is right now, ? said
Kirkpatrick. oI
don Tt think he
really under-
stands the
impact that
he Ts making
right now.
oAs he starts
to get older and
starts think-
ing about how
great he can
be, starts
pushing
himself
harder
in practice,
starts thinking about his
future and maybe how
many championships
we can win here...he Ts
going to be even more com-
mitted and I think even better. ?
Whether he Ts lining up at
wide receiver, sneaking in to play
a down at quarterback or contrib-
uting on special teams, one thing
is for certain: classifying Harris
isn Tt important, Just get him on
the field.

This year marks a landmark year
for the Pirates of ECU. It Ts ECU's cen-
tennial year, and the celebrations for
Homecoming will reflect this impor-

Many organizations on campus are
doing something special for Home-

Oct. 26-28, and the Alumni Associa-

The Alumni Association will be
sponsoring several events this year
to commemorate ECU's 100" year,
some traditional and some new. These
events include many reunions which
bring together alumni from all over
the country who have been a part of
the Pirate tradition for many years.
oEvery year we feature the 50 ?

STAFF WRITER The men fell to N.C. State Kids Night ° Family Friendly
The ECU swimming and
diving team has had early suc-
cess so far this season.
With the success, head
coach Rick Kobe earned his
400th career victory this past
weekend.
oTo be honest...I didn Tt
know it was 400 until they told
me after the meet, T said Kobe.
oIf you have a pretty solid, con-
sistent program the wins Just
keep coming. When I found out
about it, it was exciting. That Ts a
lot of wins against a lot of great
programs ?.
Kobe made sure to point out
that a record like the one he just
set was not accomplished just
because of his coaching skills.
oYou're only as good as the
quality of help that you have...
and the staff that I have now is
exceptional, ? Kobe said. oAll of
them are as equally responsible
for every one of those wins as I
last Saturday in a dual meet
against the Wolfpack and Wil-
liam & Mary.
The score of the N.C. state
meet was 96-204 in favor of
the Pack.
oThe score of that meet is
not indicative of how close that
s...it looks like N.C. State ran
away with it but they didn Tt, ?
~ said Kobe. oIn probably 75 per-
cent of all the races the outcome
was less than a second. We were
right there with them. ?
_ Amanda Duncan, one of
ECU Ts top butterfly swimmers,
received the C-USA swimmer-
of-the-week award this past
week.
oShe has been a great swim-
mer for us the past two years, ?
said Kobe. oShe has had a fan-
tastic start to her junior year.
We're really excited about her
potential throughout the rest
of the season ?

ECU basketball teams
Hinnant leads Purple
squad to a victory
SID--- Anticipation con-
tinues to build for the 2007-
08 basketball season at ECU. -
Under the direction of new
head coach Mack McCarthy,
the Pirates welcomed students,
alumni and community sup-
porters to the first Purple-Gold
Fan Jam inside Williams Arena:
at Minges Coliseum Friday
night. The event was hosted
by actor Dennis Haskins, best
known for his role as Mr. Beld-
ing on the hit TV show, oSaved
By The Bell. ?
The event featured scrim-
mages by both the men and
women Ts teams and was capped
with a 35-34 win by the ECU
Men Ts Purple squad in a 20-
minute exhibition.
The crowd was treated to
a variety of performances and
contests, including oSaved By
The Bell ? trivia and a 3-point
shooting contest. Many of the
Pirates T athletic teams were
introduced, including the foot-
ball team. Coach Skip Holtz
and juniors Zack Slate and
Fred Hicks each spoke to the
assembly with Hicks leading
the cheers as the team exited.
The evening culminated
with a one-point victory, 35-
34, for the ECU Men Ts Purple
squad of Gabe Blair, Sam Hin-
nant, Daquan Joyner, Jontae
Sherrod, Chad Wynn and Brock
Young.
Hinnant led the squad with
15 points on 6-of-10 shooting,
including 3-of-5 from 3-point
range. Sherrod added seven
points, while Wynn chipped in
six points. Blair, the top fresh-
man rebounder in C-USA last
season, led all glass cleaners
with five boards.

about 194 yards passing per
game and throwing eight touch-
downs on the season. With a
receiving threat such as redshirt
freshman Frantrell Forrest, who
has four touchdowns, and backup
quarterback turned receiver
Joseph Webb, the UAB offense
is not to be taken lightly.
Junior defensive tackle Khalif
Mitchell knows this and believes
the Pirates will be ok if they just
take it one game at a time.
oWe have to come out witha
lot of focus, ? said Mitchell. oIt Ts
like a one game championship
now. We're at the top but we have
to beat everybody. We just need
to win every game...because if
we lose one then we will have to
lean on other people.
oTm glad it was the [N.C]
State game to get a wake up
call as opposed to a conference
loss. It hurts to lose to [N.C.]
State around here but we can
accomplish bigger goals than
just beating [N.C] State. We had
State Championship goals, but
that didn Tt have anything to do
with a bowl game or a conference
championship. ?
If the focus is there on Sat-
urday then the Pirates should be
able to start 1-0 in phase three of
the regular season, and Mitchell
believes that they are on the
cusp of accomplishing something
special.
oI know a lot of guys are
tired. We're tired as hell, but at
the same time we are right there, ?
. said Mitchell. oYou are either
going to break or youre going to
go. I think we're going to go. ?
After being knocked back
down to earth last week against
N.C. State, the Pirates have
seemingly gained some of their
swagger back and are ready to
march on.
Perhaps to a conference
title.
