Out-of-state students
hit by increase

DENNIS MITCHELL
ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR

The North Carolina General
Assembly voted to enact a tuition
increase to cope with the state budget
problems.

According to Senator Ed Warren,
the legislature was faced with a
number of challenges in developing
this yearTs budget.

For starters a slowing economy
and the cost of recovering from
Hurricane Floyd left North Carolina
with a shortfall of more than $500
million,� said Warren.

According to Charles Hawkins,
associate vice chancellor for finan-
cial services, the General Assembly
increased tuition by five percent.

We thought this was going to be
an across the board increase,� said
Hawkins. The State decided to put
the increase onto the out-of-state
students.�

Hawkins said that the university
was already over the market for out-
of-state tuition.

The increase will make it hard
for us in the out-of-state market,�
Hawkins said.

According to Hawkins, ECU
received several budget cuts to ease
the stateTs budget woes.

We were expecting some cuts
because our enrollment dropped last
year below our expected amount of
students,� Hawkins said. The state
had allotted us a certain amount of

money for our expected number of
students, since the actual amount
was lower they had to decrease the
amount they gave us this year.�

According to Hawkins, because of
the expected cuts, ECU put a freeze
on some of the State Personnel Act
job openings.

When some position came open
we kept them on hold until the
budget was passed,� Hawkins said.
We did not fill about 23 positions.�

According to Hawkins, no faculty
or staff member had to be laid off
because the university acted early.

Hawkins said that ECU had to
also aide in the increase to help with
some of the cuts handed down by
NC legislators.

We had to increase tuition four
percent,� Hawkins said.

According to Hawkins, increases
had to be made to help the university
stay operational.

We can manage on our present
budget if we watch our spending,�
Hawkins said.

Senior Orlanda Rouse said that he
finds the increase excessive.

ItTs a bit much considering that
it seems tuition has been going up
ever since I have been here,� Rouse
said,

Freshman Irene Lartey agreed.

T donTt think it is necessary that
tuition was increased,� Lartey said.
Tt was already high enough.�

Hawkins said that since the state
is under the balance budget act they
must balance the budget.

Executive branch
attends ASG meeting

Number of school days, tuition freeze main topics
for SGA participants

ANGELA HARNE
NEWS EDITOR

Members of the Student Government Association (SGA) executive
branch attended the first Association of Student Governments (ASG)
meeting in Chapel Hill last weekend.

According to Michael Orr, senior class president, ASG is working
on a two-year tuition freeze.
We are drafting a resolution for the General Assembly and Board
of Governors because of the ridiculous increases we have seen in the
past,� Orr said.

Orr said the ECU SGA plans on
researching the tuition freeze process
thoroughly to bring more knowledge to
ASG.

In addition to the freeze, Orr said
ASG discussed a resolution to decrease
the number of school days from 150 to
140.

If passed, Orr said the extra 10 days
will more than likely be divvied between
spring semester and summer session
one, and summer session two and fall

COX semester.

I think the odds of it passing are good,� Orr said. The faculty
senate at UNC-Chapel Hill passed a similar resolution and the ECU
faculty supports it. It will be beneficial to everyone. Not only will the
students get an extra break, but the professors will also.�

Orr said the resolution will be voted on at the next ASG meeting.
According to Orr, ASG passed a credit card protection act.
Orr said the act enables the UNC-system to provide classes for

freshmen on how to avoid credit card debt. Orr said the act also
requires student credit card holders to have a parent/guardian
co-signer.

Students are now required to get their parents permission and
signature before they up their credit limit,� Orr said.
Executive board members in attendance said the meeting was
enjoyable.
IL enjoyed meeting the other SGA presidents and representatives,�
said Teresia Paul, recruitment chair of the SGA executive branch.
Ernest Daily, philanthropy chair of the SGA executive branch,

agreed.
T look forward to attending the next meeting,� Daily said.
According to Orr, participation was high. Orr said 13 of the 16

N.C. universities attended. Elizabeth City State, NC Central and
UNC-Charlotte could not attend.
The next ASG meeting is scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 3 in
Charlotte.
ASG is the collaboration of all 16 universities within the North
Carolina system. Each university is allotted four voting representatives;
the student body president and three members for the executive
or legislative branch. i

SGA President Sadie Cox could not be contacted for comment.

Robert Lewis, a 1997 ECU graduate, went to New York to find a job,

Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

Lewis said when he arrived in New York he immediately volunteered
with the Red Cross.

I worked in the shipping and receiving part of the Brooklyn chapter. I
assisted the volunteers in the wreckage and went to shelters supplying food
and other needed supplies,� he said.

According to Lewis, the atmosphere was eerie to say the least.

While I was in New York, the doors to the Trade Center were still
standing. It looked like a tornado had gone through. It was hard to believe
and a lot different then TV,� said Lewis.

According to Lewis, the city has changed since the terrorist attacks.

The people are very friendly and more polite,� he said. There is a lot of
patriotism also. American flags are everywhere.�

Lewis said his experience was one that no one could prepare for.

Lewis said the terrorist attacks have brought people together.

We are reuniting as a nation, and I pray for the families. We must

stand behind the president and his mission so that justice is served,�

said Lewis.

Lewis said the cleanup would probably last at least another six months.

He said the Brooklyn chapter is looking for volunteers. Currently they

have about 1,800.

Lewis volunteered from Sept. 19-23. He received his degree in marketing

and business and served his senior year as the philanthropy chair on the

GA selects lawyer to aid students "

Romary re-appointed

through careful process

CLIFF SHERMAN
STAFF WRITER

The SGA executive branch
selected an attorney to represent the
university on a monthy contract.

Peter Romary was re-appointed
to the position by the SGA through a
careful process last week.

According to SGA Treasurer Fred
Moreno, the decision is not official
as the contract is still in the devel-
opmental process.

Romary seems very eager and
accepting about the proposed con-
tract,� Romary said.

The contract is a year-to-year
agreement, which is different than
in the past. Prior to this proposed
agreement, the standard contract for
a university attorney has been five
years. The SGA decided the five-
year contract has proven to be too
long and costly. They are hoping the
new yearly contract will encourage
more commitment on the part of
the attorney.

The length of the term is not
the only aspect of the contract that
has been altered. The pay rate has

been cut from one thousand dollars
per month to six hundred dollars
per month, excluding the summer
months of June, July and August.

Romary himself proposed the cut
in pay.

Being that the budget is very
tight, one could understand why a
pay increase would help out. Being
a pro-bono lawyer is not about the
money. I do this job for the university
to keep in touch with the commu-
nity and to help out the students,�
Romary said.

RomaryTs duties toward the uni-
versity and students are to give legal
advice and aid to undergraduate and
graduate students. He will also be
involved with the SGA in aiding the
organization with contract advice
and other questions of legality.

Moreno said students are encour-
aged to take advantage of the uni-
versity attorney for any form of
legal advice. Though, the university
lawyer cannot represent a student,
he may advise them on all types of
legal matters and answer questions
as needed.

According to Moreno, Romary
has been selected because of his
experience and commitment.

(UWITRE) James Madison Uni-
versity-Students traveled to Wash-
ington, D.C., Saturday to take part in
the first national anti-war marches
since the September 11 terrorist
attacks.

Thousands of young protesters
came from across the nation to dis-
pute and march against war. The
rally was generally a peaceful display
against military retaliation, spoiled
by only three arrests and some fights,
said police officials, according to
a September 30 Washington Post
article. Junior Progressive Coalition
member, Jenny Schockemoehl, was
one of many who traveled to D.C.
to march.

ItTs really important to mobilize
and have a demonstration against
war,� Schockemoehl said. We hope
this demonstration will show our
government that its people do not
want to fight.�

The first march started at 9 a.m.
at Union Station and was sponsored
by the Anti-Capitalist Convergence
(ACC).

According to ACC Web site
www.abolishthebank.org, it is an
organization that stands for direct
action against the World Bank and
International Monetary Fund meet-
ings.�

They defend anarchy and global
action, stating these organizations
do nothing but hurt the poor and
middle-class people while aiding the
elite, according to the Web site. In
an act to promote anarchy, the ACC
did not get a permit for their march,
requiring police to escort protesters
as they walked.

A second march, sponsored by the
International Action Center (IAC),
started at noon at the Freedom Plaza
on 14th Street and Pennsylvania
Avenue.

It was originally scheduled to
start at the White House. However,
President George W. Bush decided
that no protests should take place
in that vicinity during a 30-day
period. According to the IAC Web site
www.iacenter.org, this proposal was
an effort by the Bush administration

WASHINGTON (AP) -President

George W. Bush has approved plans

to help groups inside Afghanistan

that oppose the terrorist-harboring

Taliban militia and to aid Afghan

refugees fleeing to neighboring Paki-

stan, U.S. officials said Monday.

The government also plans to

announce later this week the reopen-

ingof WashingtonTs Reagan National

Airport, the only airport still closed

after the September 11 terrorist

attacks, said a senior administration

official.

But the airport, close to many
national landmarks, will reopen
under vastly tightened security,
including limits on flights and requir-
ing armed air marshals on those
flights, said the official, speaking on
condition of anonymity.

Nearly three weeks after the dev-
astating attacks on the World Trade
Center and the Pentagon, New York
Mayor Rudolph Giuliani appealed to
the world community to not give in
to terrorism.

The United States must hold
accountable any country that sup-
ports or condones terrorism or you
will fail in your primary mission
as peacekeepers,� Giuliani told rep-
resentatives from more than 150
countries gathered at the United
Nations.

Defense Secretary Donald H.
Rumsfeld, meanwhile, declared
AmericaTs armed forces ready for
the war on terrorism. He spoke at a
ceremony honoring Army General
Henry Shelton, who is retiring as

chairman of the Joint Chiefs of

Staff.

As part of the repositioning of

U.S. forces, the aircraft carrier USS
Kitty Hawk left its base near Tokyo
Monday. Navy spokesman, Hidemi
Nagao, said the carrier was participat-
ing in the campaign against terrorists,
but declined to elaborate and would
not say where it was going.
The Kitty Hawk steamed out of
Yokosuka September 21 on an undis-
closed mission but returned Sunday.

On Monday, administration offi-

cials said Bush has approved new

relief aid to prevent unrest in Paki-

stan as thousands of refugees flee

Afghanistan.

The New York Times reported that
the package would amount tol00
million dollars, but White House
spokesman Ari Fleischer said the
dollar figure was still uncertain.

Separately, Bush approved a plan
to provide covert aid to anti-Taliban
groups operating inside Afghanistan,
administration officials said.

The Taliban have been harbor-
ing Saudi-born Osama bin Laden,
whom the United States suspects of
masterminding the terror attack.

Fleischer declined to say which
groups would receive U.S. support.

The purpose of the mission
is to eliminate those who harbor
terrorists. ... We will work with a
variety of people, all of whom have an
interest in establishing an Afghani-
stan that is peaceful and does not
practice terrorism,� Fleischer said.

How amazing would it be if our country could

Scarcely a day passes when
weTre not bombarded with media
reports of medical studies-from the
alleged effects of cell phones and
apple-shaped bodies to shocking
data about the possible dangers of
vitamin C or still another worrisome
report about hormone-replacement
therapy.

How can a person make sense of
this media overload?

For starters, donTt get all worked
up. Ascertain what kind of study
researchers conducted, the size of
the sample of participants and who
conducted the study, where it was
published and how it was funded.

Consistency of evidence� is
important, said Dr. Philip Greenland,
chairman of the department of pre-
ventive medicine at Northwestern
University Medical School.

If you have a large number of
studies that all show the same thing
and one study seems to contradict
everything else, you should ask
yourself how likely it is that 20 stud-
ies are wrong and this one is right.
It defies logic.�

Medical studies generally fall
into the following categories:

Observational studies relate peo-
pleTs lifestyles to the diseases they
develop. The majority of evidence
linking smoking and lung cancer,
for example, has come from observa-
tional studies.

ItTs obvious why we couldnTt
do clinical trials,� Greenland said.
ItTs clearly viewed as an unethical
thing to do if we believe this is a
risky exposure. How can we justify
exposing people to it?�

Another eating disorder that is
not as well known is compulsive

In a compound exercise, such as
the bench press, maintaining proper
form is important in effectively
working the primary mover. In
order to maintain proper form, the
secondary muscles must work to
alleviate part of the resistance from

of the bench press, stabilize the
movement of the arms. Basically,
the idea is that the primary mover in

WHITNEY RUSSELL

Sigmund Freud once said, The
interpretation of dreams is the royal
road to a knowledge of the uncon-

of brain wave activity. During the
sleeping state, the mind can see and
record dreams.
Although physical reasons for
dreaming are understood, the emo-
tional and mental causes are less
clear. There are quite a few theories
behind the causes of dreaming.
People tend to believe in what they
experience during dreams. Many
students, like Megan Styron, senior
management major, are unsure of the
theory that holds true for them.

do with the subconscious,� Styron

Almost everyone who believes
in the effects of dream analysis
advocates keeping a pen and paper
or a tape recorder beside the bed.
Waking up slowly, without focusing
on the upcoming day, is also a key
to remembering dreams.
The skill of recalling a dream
takes effort and improves, generally,
from remembering a dream in pieces,
to recalling an entire dream com-
