For the second year in a row,
ECUs Army ROTC Pirate Bat-
talion brought home a win from
the Ranger Challenge.
Held the weekend of October
24-26 at Fort Pickett, V.A., the
Ranger Challenge is a two-day
competition between 22 schools
from North Carolina and Vir-
ginia.
According to team captain
Matthew Kane, the team was
chosen from the 118 cadets in the
ROTC program at ECU. Cadets .
are able to tryout for the team,
and must train five days a week
starting in August. After a month
and a half of tryouts, the selection
is dwindled down to about 15
people, and the final cut is made
two weeks before the challenge.
Each team consists of nine males
and one female along with two
alternates.
Everyone involved sacri-
ficed a lot of time,? Kane said.

ROTC continued from 1
minutes of sit-ups and a two-mile ©
run. ECU took second place in
this event.
The navigation tests require
the teams to navigate themselves
to a number of different points.
Using only a compass, they must
find these points using eight digit
coordinates that they plot on a
map. ECU took first place in the
written land navigation test.
On the second day of the
challenge the teams competed in
the one rope bridge challenge, the
basic rifle marksmanship chal-
lenge, the grenade assault course,
the squad tactical exercise, the
day land navigation test and the
10K ruck march.
The competition is defi-
nitely physical, and in prepara-
tion we ran about four miles a
day,? Kane said.
The Ranger Challenge is.
a great way for cadets to build
leadership skills and improve
their commission status, accord-
ing to members of the team.
Kane provided us with really
good training,? said Ranger Chal- ©
lenge team member, Ted Brennis.

sometimes, but he definitely pre-
pared us for the competition.?
ECUs ROTC cadets went
into the challenge in hopes of
dominating the competition.
I had absolutely no doubt
that we wouldnt take anything
less than first place regardless
of the rhetoric that we received
from other universities,? said
Eric Fitzgerald, Ranger Chal-
lenge co-captain.

Additional canned food
drives are currently running
to benefit, unfortunate families
during the upcoming holidays.
Sonya Holley, a social worker
with the Pitt County Depart-

be collecting food from ECU
efforts as well as collections at
Cornerstone Church.
We need to have food on
site for people walking in with
an immediate need for food,?
said Holley. There are people
who come in that havent eaten
in days that need to be provided
with food not just for the holi-

Holley also facilitates an

McCain starts mapping out
a new role in the Senate
(AP)
Before resting from the gru-
eling presidential race, John
McCain began discussing with
Senior aides what role he will
play in the Senate now that he has
promised to work with the man
who defeated him for president.
Democrats, who padded
their majorities in the House
and Senate, have a suggestion:
McCain can mediate solutions
to-partisan standoffs on key leg-
islation.as he did to help avert
a constitutional meltdown over
judicial confirmations in 2005.
Theres a need for the old
John McCain, a leader who
worked in a bipartisan way,? Sen.
Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said
Wednesday.
GOP leaders, never fond of
McCains independent streak
or blunt style, nonetheless are
reaching out to keep him in the
fold and keep Republican ranks
as robust as possible during the
next Congress, two knowledge-
able GOP officials said on condi-
tion they not be named because
the conversations were private.
One obvious focus will be
the war in Iraq. After two years
spent more on the campaign
than in the Senate, McCain will -
return as the ranking Republican
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
on the Armed Services Commit-
tee. That will put the four-term
Arizona-senator in a position
to influence Democrat Barack
Obamas plan to set a timetable "
to withdraw U.S. troops from
combat in Iraq.
That would be good,? sen
Jim DeMint, R-S.C., said in a
telephone interview. I would.
love to see McCain work with
President Obama in dealing with
Iraq in a way that Republicans
and Democrats could agree on.?
During the campaign,
McCain staunchly opposed set-
ting such a time frame, even
as the Iraqi government began
working with the Bush adminis-
tration to do so.
But in conceding the presi-
dency to Obama Tuesday night at
.a Phoenix hotel, McCain pledged
to do all in my power to help
him lead us through the many
challenges we face.?
He allowed that defeat ~ane!
disappointing but said that start-
ing Wednesday we must move
beyond it and work together to
get our country moving again.?
Aides said they believed
McCain would work well with
Obama as president because

competitive games and the ever-present peer pres-
sure around Greenville, and, judging by the number
of people you can see stumbling from bar to bar in
couldnt share the same bathroom. Less than 50
years ago, whites and blacks couldnt sit in the
same part of a city bus in many parts of the coun-
the city every night, people are continually being
wooed into forgetting their evenings. Although I
am legally old enough to drink, I often find myself
longing to do something other than go to a bar or
house party.
I find it incredibly difficult to believe
that I am the only person who feels this way.
Ive seen organizations associated with the univer-
sity that offer sober alternatives, but they require
some sort of skill or religious affiliation. Then I
stumbled across hammered.org, which is a chapter
organization that avoids preaching about drinking
woes, but provides fun for students who simply
dont feel like drinking.
Universities across the nation participate in
. hammered.orgs programs, but North Carolina
doesnt have a single chapter. This type of organi-
zation would be awesome for students who want
to get to know new people and connect with stu-
dents who share similar interests. Maybe there are
people who can play hours of board games, cards
or Wii: Perhaps groups of people want to go see
movies, try a new restaurant or start up a game of
dodge ball. Because | live off campus, a Hammered
chapter would give me the chance to develop social
networks with people on campus, without making
anew drinking buddy.
The hammered.org concept may sound like
a bore to some, but consider the side effects of
drinking before slamming the people who may be
interested in getting Hammered.? .
Dont be mistaken, I am not chastising those
who choose to drink, but simply suggesting an
alternative to alcohol consumption. At the very
least, consider the risks associated with drinking
before accepting your next red cup. If there seems
to be any interest in starting a Hammered chapter
at ECU, it would be an awesome addition to the
activities currently offered on campus that I would
back 100 percent.

For those not from the area, Roanoke Rapids is
the leftovers of a town that lost all of its industries
and small businesses during the 1970s and 1980s.
Since then, the town has lost all of its drive to be
anything more than a town for younger people to
leave, and for older people to retire.
Carolina Crossroads and The Roanoke Rapids
Theatre were built in the small town just a few years
ago. The plan was to help stimulate the economy
and add a new set of venues for the state. Judging by
the lack of progress that Ive seen from both places,
its the perfect place for hopelessness and despair.

try. Less than 50 years ago, blacks fought for the
right to eat lunch at the same counter as whites.
But on Tuesday, after years of injustice, preju-
dice and wrongdoing, the American people elected
its first black president"Barack Obama.
And he won by a landslide"he pocketed
almost twice the Electoral votes that McCain
did"349, well over the 270 he needed to win
the presidency.
No hanging chads or recounts here.
Whether you voted for Obama and agree with
his politics or not, his win is an unprecedented
event in our nations history. But does his win
signify a change in prejudice attitudes in our
country? Have we evolved as a nation?
According to an MSNBC exit poll released
yesterday, 43 percent of eligible white voters in
the United States voted for Obama.
Does that mean that that almost half of the
country has no issues with race? Or does that
mean that 43 percent of the U.S. doesnt care about
the color of their president but do care about race
in other contexts? .
I think the latter. I think that a brilliant, elo-
quent, sincere half-white, half-Kenyan man won
the hearts of the majority of Americans. But I
dont think that bigotry in America is on its way
out. I think that we have just begun the journey
of healing and restoration between races in our
country.
I feel like I can talk about this, because I am
white and engaged to a black man, and I have
seen the nasty looks and heard the comments. Ive
experienced discriminatory attitudes. In fact, on
Election Day, I witnessed some of these attitudes
first-hand. I had the wrong color ~fiancé, and
therefore was almost prohibited from entering the
polling place with him. What a shame.
The media can talk about how far we have
come as a country all they want, but like I said,
this path will be a long and hard one"even though
Obamas victory is historical.
What does Obamas win mean for our aol
For Greenville? For ECU?
As of yesterday, hours after the announcement
that Obama had defeated McCain, it was still too
close to call in North Carolina. And judging by
_the Facebook comments Ive seen over the. last
few days, ECU students arent too much closer
to achieving racial harmony.
I think well get there, but we arent there
yet. We are a maturing America, not a complete
one. Not yet.
Maybe Im wrong. Maybe Im underestimat-
ing Americas power to change. But maybe Im
just echoing what President-elect, Obama said
himself Tuesday night, The road ahead will be

Purity rings now popular

ASHLEY ABERNATHY
THE East CAROLINIAN
Most wear wedding rings
on their left ring finger, but not
freshmen Carrie Adams.
For Adams, she wears a dif-
ferent type of ring, a ring that,
according to her, is a symbol of
a strong belief.
Her ring is an outward,
symbol that lets others know she
is waiting to have sex until she is
married: a purity ring.
Purity rings became popu-
lar in the 90s after Christian
affiliated organizations started
programs educating and teaching
sexual abstinence.
' Purity rings are commonly
given to adolescents and are
meant to be worn until marriage.
When one decides to wear
a purity ring, the person takes
a personal vow, like Adams, to
wait until marriage to become
sexually active.
Not only is it a promise to
myself, but a promise to the person
I will marry,? Adams said.
There are several groups like
True Love Waits and Silver Ring
Thing that are based on Christian
beliefs that promote sexual absti-
nence outside of marriage.
T feel like these programs
are good because it teaches you
what your religion wants you to
know,? Adams said.
Adams received a purity ring
after participating in a program
like True Love Waits though her
church when she was in middle
school.
But, why are abstinence pro-
grams and purity rings such a hot
topic these days?
Some feel sexual behavior
has become more prevalent in the
media and according to Adams,
Tts hard to stay pure especially
in todays society.?
However, Adams is still wear-

WILD Conference participants.
ERIN EDWARDS
THE East CAROLINIAN
This weekend, ECU women took a step into
the world of leadership. :
As part of the ninth annual Women in
Leadership Development Conference (WILD),
34 female students and faculty engaged in
connecting and networking with other schools
across the state. According to the official con-
ference description, the mission of the WILD
Conference is to inspire, develop and empower
a diverse community of collegiate women as
leaders, striving to do this by teaching relevant -
skills, creating networking opportunities, rec-
ognizing and challenging structural barriers and "
encouraging self-reflection.?
Making Connections? served as the
theme for this years conference, and intended
Female students, faculty ~make
connections at annual conference
to show women participants how to make
critical connections that are deemed neces-
sary in order to become a leader. These steps
include connecting to yourself, others and to
the community.
Many of the workshops talked dat how
to network with others in order to succeed,? said
Brooke Barton, a student leadership assistant
at the ECU Center for Student Leadership and
Civic Engagement. During lunch, we had the
opportunity to network with people across the
state, and we discussed our dreams and goals_
for the future and offered advice to each other
about how to get internships, organizations
to get involved in and people we knew who
could possibly help others accomplish their
career goals.?
Other workshops focused on how to learn
and improve participants strengths and weak-

nesses, proper communication and interview-
ing tips for job and how to deal with conflict
management within an organization.
Cheri Britton, an Asheville resident who
works at BOOM Thinking, served as the
keynote speaker for the conference. Brit-
ton offered the women leaders advice about
networking and challenged them to write out
goals they hoped to accomplish, along with.
discussing it with others around them to find
ways to achieve those goals.
You cant have what you want if you do it
alone,? said Britton, whose main focus for the
women participants was to show how important
proper.networking is for emerging leaders and
how people must connect in order to reach
individual goals.

THE EAST CAROLINIAN:* NEWS
LEADERSHIP continued from 7
Britton also shared words of
wisdom from Ivan Misner, the
founder of Business Network
International.
First, you have to be visible
in the community,? Britton said.
You have to get. out there and
connect with people; its not called
net-sitting or net-eating--it is called
networking.?
For Barton and the rest of
the leaders, the opportunity to
attend the conference was not
only an opportunity to improve
individual skills, but also to meet
with other women leaders that
thrive at ECU.
Not only did we have the
opportunity to meet students from
across the state and network with
them, but we also had the oppor-
tunity to get to know students
from ECU,? Barton said. One
of the most rewarding parts of the
trip was when a non-traditional,
commuter student and a current
junior stood up on the bus and
thanked everyone for making
her feel more a part of the ECU
community. She said through this
trip, she had the opportunity to
make several new friends from
ECU and feel like she was more at
home at ECU.?
ECU brought the fae del-
egation at the conference, complete
with PeeDee the Pirate stickers.
Overall, this conference was a
huge success,? Barton said.

John Legend
Evolver, 4 out of 5
There are a raft of guest stars on
Evolver, John Legends follow-up
to 2006s Once Again. Fortunately,
Legends own considerable talents
form the foundation for these 13
songs, which dont really need
any additional boost from A-listers
such as Kanye West, OutKasts
Andre 3000 and Brandy.
In an era of histrionic American
Idol types, Legend is one of the
rare singers willing to approach his
work with restraint. That easy style
is well suited to mid-tempo love
songs such as Everybody Knows,?
with its sweet melody that unfolds
above a mannered rock beat and soft
cushion of backing voices.
When Legend does collaborate,
he has a knack for matching the visi-
tors with material. Andre 3000s rap
lends a nice edge to the ultra-cool
dance groove of Green Light,?
while West provides a more boister-
ous presence in the sassy yet slick
Its Over.? Brandy injects some
nice harmonies on Quickly.?
On the albums second half,
Legend goes it alone on songs such
as the majestic piano ballad This
Time,? the lilting Take Me Away?
School of Seven Bells
Alpinisms, 3 out of 5
Alpinism is defined as the
art of climbing mountains,? and
theres a similar lofty aspiration at
work in these 11 songs.
Supposedly, the members of
School of Seven Bells--Benjamin
Curtis (Secret Machines) and sis-
ters Claudia and Alejandra Deheza
(On! Air!Library!)--have packed
the songs with secret messages
between imaginary characters. The
bands name, by the way, comes
from a mythical South American
pickpocket academy, which may
or may not exist.
AMAZON.COM
and others. Despite the occasional
bump, such as the repetitive,
uninviting hook in Satisfaction,?
Legend shows that he is still a
master of pretty, gently delivered
R&B. When it comes to that, he
doesnt need any help.
Ry Cooder
The UFO Has Landed, 5 out of 5 "
God bless the archivist
assigned to pin down the eclectic
contributions of Ry Cooder. After
all, Cooders four-decade career
spans early blues and roots music
to film soundtracks to Buena Vista
Social Club to recent genre-bend-
ers such as My Name is Buddy
(2007) and the new J, Flathead. Its
a lot of ground to cover.
Produced by Cooders son and
collaborator, Joachim, The UFO
-Has Landed admirably blends
old and new in a two-disc, 34-
song collection. Theres only
one unreleased track, a version
of Lets Work Together? with
Buckwheat Zydeco, but the col-
lective effect is still stunning
and enlightening.
Its an astounding reminder
of Cooders flawless touch with
slide guitar, as well as his sense
of humor and understanding of
good music from Woody Guthrie
to Flaco Jimenez. God bless this
UFO.
Thats too deep for me, but songs
such as the opening Jamunder-
nodisguise? and Face to Face on
High Places? showcase a captivat-
ing combination of shimmering
psychedelic hooks, icy laptop beats
and noise reminiscent of a more
mannered My Bloody Valentine.
Although theres softness to
some of the tracks, School of
Seven Bells is capable of indulging
its more raucous side, as it does on
Wired for Light.?
Yet even in such moments, the
rock tendencies are layered into
a bed of dance-worthy beats and
electronic weirdness that makes it
lofty indeed.

~Week 10: Ranking the Carolinas
RONNIE. WOODWARD
THE EAsT CaROLINIAN
Record: 6-2
Last week: Bye week
The Heels are going to have to fight to hold onto the top spot from here on out. South
Carolina is on fire right now, but UNC can distance itself from USC with two wins in
the next two weeks. UNC hosts No. 20 Georgia Tech this weekend and plays at No. 23
Maryland next week. Former starting quarterback T.J. Yates is also practicing again after
an injury earlier this season. Star wide receiver Brandon Tate will not be returning any time
soon, but having Yates and Cam Sexton available to throw the ball could be valuable as
UNC closes out its regular season.
Record: 6-3 Last week: Won vs. Tennessee, 27-6
Something tells me that Steve Spurrier enjoyed costing Phillip Fulmer his job last
weekend by flat-out embarrassing the reeling Vols on national television. The Gamecocks
put together their best effort of the season in that game, and Fulmer"who was the thorn
in Spurriers side when he was at Florida"was fired on Monday. USC plays Arkansas this
week and then Spurrier and his Gamecocks travel to Florida the following week. | have |
-a feeling Arkansas might be overlooked a little this week, as npc! would love to beat
Tennessee and win at the Swamp all in one season.
Record: 5-3 Last week: Won vs. Duke, 33-30
_In last weeks battle for third place in the rankings game, Wake Forest came out on
top"barely. After Duke missed what would have been the game-winning field with two
seconds left in regulation, the Deacons capitalized. Wake knocked down a field goal in its
overtime possession, and star cornerback Alphonso Smith ended the game when he picked
off a Thaddeus Lewis pass in the end zone, and the game ended.

THE EAST CAROLINIAN ¢ SPORTS
ECU swimmers establish confidence
SEAN LABAR
THE East CAROLINIAN .
Coach ~Rick Kobe is con-
fident and determined as the
ECU swim team heads into the
midpoint of its season with toug]
competition in the latter part of
the schedule.
With a 9-2 overall record this
- season, the Pirates are defining
themselves as a force to be reck-
oned with in the upcoming ACC
and SEC conferences.
The Pirates won three of
four dual meets last weekend,
defeating Georgetown and
Towson. At McCarthy pool
against Georgetown, the Pirates
set seven records, a feat that has
never happened before at ECUs
home pool.
Setting those records was
good for our team,? said Kobe.
The wins over the weekend
solidified the teams confi-
dence.?
Senior Amanda: Duncan
holds one of the three records
set by the Pirates. Duncan teamed
with Kelsey Brosi, Jessica Brin-
kley and Jenna Stewart to set the
record in the 200-yard medley
relay. Rachel Blue and Kali Gas-
kill then joined Duncan and Brosi
in a record-setting 200-yard
freestyle performance. Duncan
then won the 100-yard butterfly
with a time of 56.62.
The men dominated George-
town and Towson. Sophomore
Thiago Cavalcanti led the way
with a record-breaking time of
1:43.03 in the 200-meter free-
style.
With an impressive meet now
behind them, Kobe feels his team
has good morale heading into a
critical part of the season.
We have been swimming
really fast,? said Kobe. Every-
one has been swimming great,
even the freshmen have been
a crucial part of the team this
year.?
Kobe considers a victory
against the College of Charleston
this weekend crucial as the team
prepares to battle tough competi-
tion at the Gamecock Invitational
in Columbia, S.C. the following
TRAVIS BARTLETT |
weekend. The Invitational will
host an experienced blend of
nationally ranked teams coming
from the ACC and SCC.
We are excited about com-
peting against those ACC and
SEC teams,? said Kobe. Beating
those nationally ranked teams
would be great.?
The outstanding start for the
Pirates could prove to be the
defining factor in predicting how
the remainder of the season will
play out. Kobe has high expec-
tations for his team, and. feels it
carries the skill and maturity to
compete with teams at any col-
legiate level.
We feel like we can win
every meet; they are all so big,?
he said. We are pretty happy
with losing just two...we are
hoping to have the girls be 5-1 "
and the guys be 6-1.?
For the Pirate swim team,
a long, tough road is ahead, .a
challenge that Kobe is ready to
face head on.

rease is a real pain in the drain?
because it can clog sewer lines, which
can lead to sewer spills. GUC does every-
thing it can to prevent sewer spills, but we
cant do it alone. We need your help!
The best way you can cease the grease? is
to never pour grease (things like oil, butter,
margarine, shortening, pan drippings, and
sauces) down the drain. Instead, let it cool
down, collect it in a container"like a used |
