Help for drinking, drug use
on the way
PBTBR O.vwvoi
ASSISTANT NKWS EDITOR
With the ever-increasing awareness of stu-
dents who are abusing alcohol and other
drugs, the Center for Counseling and
Student Development at ECU has begun
looking into the possibility of hiring spe-
cialized counselors to help curb the prob-
lem.
Due to numbers of underage drinkers at
ECU and other universities in the area.
many faculty members and students have
begun work to start a support group for
people who have been affected by alcohol
and other drus.
The group, in progressive stages will be
sponsored by a committee known as
Interventions to Make Positive Alcohol
Changes Together (IMPACT).
While numbers of drinkers at ECU are
below the national standards, IMPACT
feels it can focus on many other ways to
help combat the drinking problem.
Recently the committee has been focusing
on ways to help not only students with alco-
hol and drug problems, but also work with
students who have had problems with
friends and family who have been affected.
Bob Motphet . head counselor for the
Center for Substance Abuse, helps stu-
dents with drug and alcohol problems
ranging from simple possession to drinking
and driving charges. Statistics have recent-
ly shown that males who drink are eight
times more likely to die accidentally than
non-drinkers, and females who drink are at
an even greater risk of dying of a fatal car
accident than males. Morphet wants the
group to focus on the effects and problems
concerning binge drinking
'The one issue which we are really
focusing on is binge alcohol; drinking not
where people are drinking one drink but
when people, have five or more drinks
Morphet said. "That's where we have the
most problem when involving problems on
campus such as vandalism and people start
to miss class due to drinking

summer school is pretty much self
supported, so we have to charge for
what summer school actually costs
in order to pay faculty and so
forth
Balko said that in an academic
year, the in-state student only pays
fot about 19 of what tuition costs
and the taxpayers cover the rest
According to Clayton Sessums,
from the Division of Continuing
Studies, there will be two tuition
changes this year.
"The two changes include the
usual annual increase and now this
year it is proposed that we charge
by the credit hour for summer
school, not by block as we have in
past years Sessums said. "Some
students will pay less, say for
instance, a student taking three
hours
Dan Bishop, ECU comptroller,
says the proposed difference will
be that summer school students
will be billed by the credit hour
instead of by blocks. The blocks
are broken into a quarter basis.
Undergraduate blocks range from
zero to two, three to five, six to
eight, nine to 11 and 12 or more.
Graduate blocks run from zero to
two, three to five, six to eight and
nine or more.
"It will cost undergraduates a
little more and graduates a little
less Bishop said. "Summer
school has nothing to do with the
General Assembly 2 increase
According to Bishop, the 1999
spring rate will be used to figure
out the cost of summer session as
well as future semester rates.
"Summer school tuition is set in
relation to the academic year
tuition and prorated by the amount
of credit hours taken said
Richard Brown, Vice Chancellor of
Administration and Finance.
"This is all strictly an estimate
Balko said. "We will still go back to
the block for next fall and spring
Bishop said the $918 academic
year rate that is recommended by
the General Administration and set
by the Board of Governors will be
the basis to figure out what the
summer school rate is. The same
procedure is followed for out-of-
state rates.

group
Their latest performance was
centered around ??Kwanza, an
African-American holiday which
was created in 1966 by Dr. Ron
Karenga. This holiday is celebrat-
ed from December 26 to January 1
and is it is a cultural and spiritual,
yet non-religious holiday.
The concept was created dur-
ing the civil rights era, when Black
Americans, specifically Dr.
Karenga, realized that there was no
African-American holiday that
related to their "growth, develop-
ment, or essence It was formed
under the theory called Kawaida
which states that social revolution-
ary change can be achieved by
revealing to individuals their cul-
tural heritage. Kwanza is, however,
not only a celebration, it is a way of
life designed to help Black
Americans relate to the past, to
understand the present, and deal
with the future.
During the seven day period,
candles are lit each day for the dif-
ferent principles which are cele-
brated: unity, self-determination,
collective work and responsibility,
cooperative economics, purpose,
creativity, and faith. These seven
tenants allow African-Americans to
practice the principles that helped
their ancestors endure oppression
and slavery. The Thespians of
Diversity had skits prepared to
illustrate these seven principles;
however, due to the low turnout
not all of them were performed.
'This is not solely an African-
American holiday, its principles
are for everyone said Na'im K.
Ackbar, student and minority peer
mentor. "Since I don't celebrate
Christmas, it is a holiday that I can
celebrate without religious conno-
tations and still get in the spirit of
the holiday season Ackbar also
visits area elementary schools and
shares with students the value of
Kwanza to everyone. "We can all
learn from each other said
Ackbar.

The Prince of Egypt
NEW YORK (AP) Animate a story
that's sacred to three major reli-
gions, pick a voice to sound like
God, and mass-market the result
around the world all without
offending anybody.
That was the delicate task
before Jeffrey Katzenberg, co-
founder of DreamWorks, as he
shepherded the forthcoming film
"The Prince of Egypt" which tells
the story of Moses from concept to
reality.
"It is so much more complicat-
ed, so much more challenging than
simply making a movie
Katzenberg told Time magazine in
its Dec. 14 issue.
Katzenberg met with 700 clerics
and scholars, journeved to the
Vatican, studied the BibJe and
spoke to professors at Harvard's
divinity school, all in an effort to get
things right without stepping on
anyone's toes. And instead of
Moses action figures, the promo-
tional tie-in will consist of a pack-
age containing a book, compact disc
and tickets to the movie.
Letter bomber appears

CANBERRA, Australia (AP) The
man accused of sending a letter
bomb that exploded at a Canberra

charges when he appears in court,
police said Sunday.
Colin George Dunstan, 43, was
arrested Friday after he was admit-
ted to Canberra Hospital with a
slashed wrist and was ordered held
until his court .appearance on
Tuesday.
Australian Federal Police Acting
Sergeant Daryl Webb confirmed
that Dunstan will face additional
charges.
Police said a search of Dunstan's
home had revealed items and docu-
mentation relating to people CO
whom other explosive devices were
sent.
"It is also believed that the
defendant has been involved in the
mailing of 27 further explosive
devices in the Australian Capital'
Territory, New South Wales,
Queensland and Victoria police
said.
Dunstan was formally charged
Saturday with one count of damag-
ing property with an explosive
device, with intent to endanger life.

10-year enrollment plan
Preliminary report
announces projections
SliSANNE MlLENKEVlCH
STAFF WRITF.ll
ECU recently submitted a pre-
liminary report to the North
Carolina General Assembly about
the university's 10 year enrollment
projections and goals.
"The General Assembly will
look at how to meet the projected
capacity with new buildings and
distant education programs and;
decide how to accommodate stu-
dents with laboratories, classrooms
and more faculty said Dr. Robert
Thompson, planning and institu-
tional research director.
According to the Office of
Planning and Institutional
Research's 1998-2008 Long Range
Enrollment Projections, it is esti-
mated that by the year 2008 ECU
will have an enrollment of 20,637
students while it has set a goal for
23,280 students. However, the
UNC General Assembly has pro-
jected that the university will have
the capacity to accommodate
23,714 students.
To develop the estimates, ECU
considered the issues of growth in
the pool of potential students, com-
petition, student qualifications,
financial implications and the uni-
versity itself.
Researchers estimate that with
the completion of projects such as
Joyner Library, the university's
capacity could rise from the current
total of 17,800 to 19,500 by the year
2008.
Other projects in the planning
stages include a science laboratory
and technology building, which is
planned to be completed by 2002
and would increase capacity of stu-
dents by 1,700 students.
By 2003 the university wants to
complete an addition to the Rivers
Building, which would have a posi-
tive impact upon the home eco-
nomics and nursing programs; how-
ever, it would not increase the
capacity of the institution.
Additionally, ECU wants to
begin a project to build new facili-
ties for the School of Medicine,
though this also would not increase
student capacity. Furthermore,
ECU is considering building a new
multipurpose center to meet the
needs of the athletic programs.

Argh! 'Tis the season to be stressed! Exam week is upon us once again, as the
dawn of semester's end sets visions of free time dancing in our heads.
It seems that time is totally unavailable at this point in the semester, since this
is when we need it the most. Folks are stressing to find that perfect Christmas
gift for friends and family, and those students who work retail have to deal with
the stress of helping the stressed find what they're looking for. Those who live
far away have to make arrangements to get home for the holidays. Most
importantly, we all have to study for our exams so we can take straight "A" report
cards home to the fclks to hang up on the fridge.
Most of us have been through the exam process, but let this be a lesson to the
freshman: exams are no walk in the park. You cannot rely on waiting until the last
minute to cram a whole semester's worth of knowledge into your brain in a few
hours. Reading day is Thursday; here's a clue: start studying! Space your time out
and don't spend much of this precious time on one subject. Take a 15-20 minute
bireak after each hour of studying, and get a sufficient amount of sleep before and
during exam days. Proper preparation leads to high confidence, and high
qbnfidence leads to low stress and high grades.
: Don't ruin your semester break because you bombed all of your exams. If you
have been slacking, it is time to wake up and smell the coffeeliterally. Coffee
ritiakes a good study mate if you absolutely insist on ignoring this advice not to
cram. Make Mom and Dad happy this Christmas; present a good report card as a
gift to them, and come back for the spring with no worries.

You can't buy her love, can you:

Here's an idea that is way
past its time. Fellas, let's
get our shopping done at
the beginning of December.
Hard to imagine?
Christmas bells arc ringing!
Can you hear them? Me neither.
Gome to think of it, I haven't really
had the Christmas Spirit at all the
past couple of years. It just seems
to get here so quickly, only to end
at the blink of an eye. It's sad, but
factually believe I know why it
happens. In a wordshopping

especially true with buying gifts
fbr the special someone in your
life, and I'm not talking about
Iyeonardo DiCaprio. No, I am
talking about the shopping trip
that can make or break any
relationship.
j Since I am a guy (it's a fact), I
am going to talk about guy
shopping. There is something we
guys know as the "Day before X-
mas desperation move This is
the time, just minutes before the
stroke of midnight, when guys
rush to the store and try
desperately to find something to
show their love, but seeing as how
every quality product has already
been purchased by other guys
doing the same thing, they usually
end up getting her whatever is left.
This is usually something
inappropriate, such as a broken
Thighmaster (which really sends a
bad message) or an outboard motor
(which isn't as bad, but one must
remember that it has a sharp
propeller and can be used as a
weapon).
Here's an idea that is way past
its time. Fellas, let's get our
shopping done at the beginning of
December. Hard to imagine? Not
if you follow "Ryan-Dogg's Handy
Dandy Shopping Guide (This is
only a few excerpts from the actual
book of the same name, due to hit
the bookshelves in the spring of
2023.)
Rulel: Never go through the
door that opens to the lingerie
section of the department store.
This section was strategically
placed to promote red-faced
embarrassment to the good men of
Americaand maybe Paraguay.
Rule 2: Realize that
sometimes mannequins are
actually sales clerks that are
standing still so they don't have to
deal with you, a little trick they
learned while living on the fifth
circle of Hell.
Rule 3: Always bring credit
cards! The only way you will get
helped by a sales clerk is to let her
smell a credit card. This is one of
the two things that a clerk can
smell, the other being fear.
Rule 4: Use lots of dairy
products, but never Swiss
cheeseno waitthat's from my
other book "Ryan-Dogg's Sex Can
Be Fun and Profitable
Handbook
Rule 5: If she says "Surprise
me don't believe it! If she says
"I'm sure I will love anything you
get me shoot yourself. You'll be
better off! My friend's girlfriend
once said "give me something I
need Imagine her surprise when
he bought her a lifetime supply of
Midol. Imagine his surprise when
she castrated him.
Rule 6: Don't make
something yourself. It may sound
romantic, but we both know that
you have the creativity of a sloth,
and anything you make with wood
could lead to fatalities.
Rule 7: Tell her you love her
and take her somewhere quiet.
Then look into her eyes and say,
"My love, don't get me anything.
Having you near me is like a
million presents, and they keep on
giving the whole year round If
you say this right, she can't
possibly expect a present from
you. You're set for life!
That's about all for this year!
This was all a joke, ladies, so don't
get offended. (guys:wink-wink)
Have a merry Christmas and a
happy new year!

Kleinschmit clears the ugly air
Sometimes I feel that people
art Just arguing for the sake
of argument.
It seems that this semester that
I have been the instigator of many
letters to the editor. I have enjoyed
reading most of these, but I have
wanted to respond to some that I
feel result from misunderstanding.
Sometimes I feel that people are
just arguing for the, sake of
argument.
Recently, I received a letter
from a reader who called me a
"Republican from the North who
doesn't want other than rich
people to attend college" in
relation to my article on requiring
people to have computers at ECU.
Well look here buddy, you stated
that your parents help pay for your
school.
I receive absolutely nothing
from my parents. I can afford to go
here only because of my veteran
benefits and loans. I paid for my
truck, a new computer, utilities
and rent, food, gas, and my
fraternity dues because I know
how to manage my finances and
work for what I want and need. I'm
sure that since you stated that you
don't have a job, you probably just
expect the magic computer fairy to
put one under your pillow. I may
be a "Republican from the North
but it is far from the truth that I
think that only rich kids should get
the privilege of a college
education.
I also read letters from many of
you who view Mark McGwire as a
hero. Good for you; that's fine. I
don't view sports stars as heroes. I
think the NBA players are cowards
for ruining the season. Sports are
fun to watch, and I enjoy a good
football or basketball game now
and then, but I won't lose any
sleep over Carolina getting beaten
by College of Charleston on
Saturday. I guess I just have
different priorities. I prefer to live
my life instead of watching it on
TV.
Then there was the notorious
NorthSouth thing. I got a lot of
hate mail from this one, but the
whole purpose of the article was to
poke fun at the rude Southern
elitist attitude towards
Northerners. Hell, we're all
Americans. I had no idea that so
many normal people considered
themselves toothless idiots. I guess
that people either misunderstood
the meaning of the article or have a
really bad opinion of themselves.

Coppedge
Procrastiriators get goin' now, now I
Procrastination is a
problem, not always serious,
but it seems to be catching.
There arc only two weeks left in
this semester, a concept that
should leave many students and
faculty happy. It is definitely time
for an extended holiday break so
we can recover and regroup for the
next dose of learning in the spring.
Of course, with only two weeks
left, that means all final papers and
projects are due. Time to stress
out.
If you are like me, you have
decided to leave all of your papers
and projects to the last possible
moment. Yes, I am a procrastinator,
a very good one in fact. I cannot
tell if I procrastinate just because I
am lazy, because I am too busy
with other work, or because my
best work is done when I am under
the pressure of a deadline. I love it
when I receive an "A" on a
research paper that was supposed
to take weeks to write, but I did it
in an hour or so the night before I
turn it in. This isn't always on
purpose, nor do I always get an
"A but I usually get a decent
grade minus the sleep.
The only problem with
procrastinating is the schedules at
the library and computer labs.
Often times, I am only able to do
my research late at night. Joyncr
Library closes at 1 a.m. through the
week and at 6 p.m. on the
weekends. It also opens early,
around six in the morning, but
some of us prefer sleep to research.
This semester I have had a very
tight and hectic schedule, so I
cannot work on the same schedule
as the library. Plus, I have always
done better work at night, so
where do I go? Millions of dollars
were spent to build our new
library; maybe they could have
considered hiring more people to
work late nights. I know people
need money and want jobs, and if
it fit into their schedules, this
would be a great opportunity for
all. If the university would like to
spend some money to help the
students, they could also consider
putting a copy machine in each of
the dorms. Sometimes when I
work late on my various
assignments, I need to make
copies, but every place I know that
has a copier is closed. I know a
couple of friends who have had the
same problems dealing with the
copiers.
Procrastination is a problem, not
always serious, but it seems to be
catching. I should go do my work, i
Good luck to all the procrastinators
out there during the final weeks,
especially in finding an open
computer at night.

TERRORIST
Webster delines terrorist as the
"systematic use of terror, espe-
cially as a means of coercion
No where in that definition, did
it say that all pelple with mid-
dle eastern blood in their veins
are terrorist. Yet it also didn't
say that a person from Ireland
is a terrorist. Also, don't think
that all African Americans carry
guns, or have anything to with
drugs.
Ask yourself, how many African
Americans own boats, or planes
to bring drugs into the country.
Just because a couple of bad
apples have surfaced in the
world, don't think that the
whole tree is rotton.
And another thing. Don't fall for the
sterotypes displayed by the media. Don't go
see " the Siege " starring Bruce Willis, and
Denzel Washington, and leave thinking that
all people of Arab desent have a bomb
strapped on their backs, waiting to blow up
the school.
Sterotypes created by the media is the
leading reason so many americans can' get
along.

"ECU has 60 masters and 10
PHd programs said Gail
Pinkham, manager of Graduate
admissions. "Not many schools
offer such a variety of programs
.According to Pinkham, when
applying for grad school, the most
important things you can do is read
all of the directions on your appli-
cation, make all of the deadlines,
and get in touch with graduate
director in one's program.
t "Depending on the program,
some have earlier deadlines than
others Pinkham said. That's why
it is very important to know when
they arc in order to get your appli-
cation in on time
According to Pinkham,
important to talk to the graduate
director in order for one's name to
be more familiar to them.
"I always encourage students to
get in touch with their graduate
director and let them know who
they are, that they arc applying for
their department, and that they are
quite interested Pinkham said.
"This way the director will have
an idea of who you are if your
name comes up again
Then of course there are the
graduate school exams that are
similar to high school SATs called
GREs. There are different forms
of this test MATs, which is a 100
word analogies test, GMAT which
is the exam taken by business stu-
dents, and the TOEFL exam,
which is for international students.
"It is for students coming from
foreign countries who were not
taught in English Pinkham said.
The GREs can be taken here at
ECU. And if you're looking for a
little more assistance before you
take the GRE, there arc prep
courses offered at the Student Life
Research Assessment and Testing
office.
Once all of the information is
received at the office of graduate
admissions, Pinkham said it is
keyed into the computer so that
the graduate department has
immediate access to a student's
file.

Recyling
continued from page 7
week. Materials such as aluminum,
paper, glass and plastic are recy-
clable and can be placed in these
bins. For information on special
recycling pickups, call 328-60.
"We have bins all over the
place said Roy Briley, a member
of the three-man team that collects
the materials from the bins.
"Everyone should be able to use
them Briley said.
Joyner Library, Mendenhall
Student Center and the Student
Recreation Center also offer ways
to recycle. They take part in the
recycling program by displaying
collection bins and by recycling
their own waste products.
One of the reasons for the
implementation of the recycling
program is that the North Carolina
legislature has made it mandatory
for all state employees and agencies
to recycle materials with a goal of
40 percent total waste reduction by
the year 2000.
Only specific materials are
accepted for recycling. Items are
separated into various categories. In
the white collection trailer, 1 and
2 plastics, aluminum cans, glass
(clear, brown and green) and paper
(office, computer, newspaper) are
accepted. A three man team goes
around collecting these materials
which account for 27 percent of
ECU's waste. The teams are made
up of staff, though work study stu-
dents are also employed for the
program.
Cardboard and scrap metal
should be placed beside the nearest
dumpsters. There is now a fine for
putting large amounts of cardboard
into the landfills, so it saves the uni-
versity unnecessary money if card-
board is recycled.
The money that is gained from
the recycled materials goes back
into the program.
"We use the money to maintain
our equipment like our trailer and
metal containers said Tom
Pohlman, who is in charge of the
recycling program.
The advantages of recycling
include saving natural resources,
energy and landfill space.
Recycling also helps reduce costs of
trash disposal and raw products.
Pollution is also decreased as a
result.
"Recycling is just the right thing
to do Pohlman said.
The Office of Environmental
Health and Safety is not the only
group recycling. Many offices at
recycling, if there really is one, is
that it requires a sense of commit-
ment Pohlman said.
The Recycling Program has also
taken its message online. Their
web site located on the
Environmental Health and Safety
Web page. Their internet address
is http:www.ecu.eduoehs. This
site offers information about the
program and recycling in general.
One can access tips on recycling,
reducing, and reusing. There is also

ECU recycle the material they use.
Facility Services recycled 15,000
pounds of white goods last year.
White goods include such things as
broken air conditioners, scrap metal
and various other materials. Facility
Services also managed to divert
52,000 pounds of tires, batteries, oil
filters and motor oil from the land-
fill last year.
Materials Management was able
to recycle over 2,000 pounds of
printer cartridges and other office
waste. The Grounds Department
recycled and composted 724,000
pounds of yard waste, most of
which was the result of hurricane
damage. Dining Services managed
to recycle 63,000 pounds of cooking
oil.
Announcements are usually cir-
culated to the faculty and staff to
encourage them to practice recy-
cling methods. But students are the
key to on-campus recycling. Even
everyday activities like using e-
mail can help the environment. By
using e-mail and other electronic
data transfers, 250,000 pounds of
paper were saved last year.

helpful information about recycling
in residence halls and in academic
and administrative areas. One
interesting aspect of the web site is
a link that offers ways of stopping
junk mail from being delivered to
you. For those who are still con-
fused about what materials are
recyclable and ones which are not,
this site will inform you.
The '9798 fiscal year has been
one of the best years for the recy-
cling program. The list of materials
that were recycled from various
departments grew. Items include
magazines, aluminum scrap metal,
lead, fax paper, plastic drink con-
tainers, corrugated and regular
cardboard.
If you wish to volunteer your
services to the recycling program
you may contact Tom Pohlman at

James Hamm, who shot and
killed someone when he was ? n
teen-ager, will not teach classes
this spring semester as planned;5"
officials said Thursday, the same
day The Arizona Republic had"1
reported Hamm's hiring.
"The debate surrounding Mr1
Hamm's employment in the"
classroom at ASU would be too
disruptive to the educational32
environment, as evidenced by the"
reaction to his hiring said Milton
Glick, ASU provost and senior
vice president.
Some members of the legal
community had been critical of
the idea.
"This has got to be a cruel
joke Phoenix attorney Dan
Cracchiolo saidIt's like?-
Hannibal Lecter inviting Jodie
Foster to a tea party
Hamm said he was disappoint?
ed with the school's decision but!5
not entirely surprised. '3
"I would prefer to teach, bur'
that's just not in the cards and51
that's not the way it's going to
happen Hamm told The.H
Associated Press. Earlier, he tokf "
the paper "I never had any prob11
lems with the students or faculty "
in law school It was just a probJ
lem with the politicians and news
? r o
papers. 0
Hamm pleaded guilty in 1974
to shooting Willard J. Morely Jr
during a drugdeal in Tucson. He331-
was sentenced to 25 years to lifej'm
in prison and served 17 yeaivrt1
before he was paroled in 1992.
Since then he earned his cola11
lege degree, then a law degree0
from ASU. Despite his gains, the
state's clemency board refused K"
earlier this year to release him" n
from parole. ! "
Dennis Palumbo, the justice1
studies professor who interviewed'
Hamm for the job, said Hamm-
deserves a second chance. -?
"He did something real stupid-1
when he was 17. Why the hell 4
should we condemn him for rfce
rest of his life?" Palumbo said. f.?
Hamm was supposed to teach?-
one pre-law course on substantive
criminal law and another on duerf"r
process and the Bill of Rights aP3
the School of Justice Studies. ?"
Hamm still has a contract withob
the school, Glick said. Hamm said11
he is negotiating with the univer'
sity on his new position, whicrprte
could tesearch. ASU will also
change hiring procedures for part3
time instructors. Hiring had been
left to department chairmen, butw?
a dean will now review their deci-1!

SENIOR WRITER
The ECU women's basketball
team took an undefeated record to
the Davidson Roundball
Invitational this weekend, and
returned home with their first loss
of the season.
With a spectacular defensive
effort against Elon, the Pirates
rolled to a 56-37 victory. The
Pirates held Elon to shooting 5-26
in field goals and 12 points in the
first half. Even though ECU was
playing without team leader

One of the players that led the
Pirates in the first game versus Elon
was Danielle Melvin, who pro-
duced a double-double by scoring
14 points and grabbing 121
rebounds. Cecilia Shinn also
scored 10 points and brought
down five rebounds while
Beth Jaynes chipped in nine
points and six rebounds.
The victory moved ECU I
to a record of 5-0 and to a
chance to play host Davidson j
in the championship game.
That game would prove to

The East Carolinian
Chalk one up for the old guys
SUN CITY, South Africa (AP)
Nick Price, 41, edged 22-year-old
Tiger Woods in a dramatic five-hole
playoff to win the big check at the
Million Dollar Challenge and his
third tide at Sun City.
It was a victory of experience
over pure talent, of one of golfs
most amiable players over its most
brilliant.
"Obviously to have beaten
someone like Tiger, it makes it a
little special. He's a phenomenon
said Price, who has been a profes-
sional for as long as Woods has been
alive. "I've got a great future
behind me. He's going to win plen-
ty
"If he continues to refine his
game as he's doing, he's going to be
formidable Price said of Woods.
"I'm glad I'll be hitting the senior
tour then
Price's win was in keeping with
the season of Mark O'Meara,
another 41-year-old, who won two
majors and was named PGA golfer
of the year. O'Meara was part of the
elite field of 12 of golfs best play-
ers, but finished fifth.
Woods and Price both started
the final round at the 7,597-yard
Gary Player Country Club course
four strokes behind another young
sensation, Lee Westwood. But
Westwood quickly faded,Josing
two shots on the first four holes. He
never recovered and ended up
fourth.
Meanwhile, Woods and Price
playing as a twosome began trading
birdies. By the 16th round, it was
clear one of them would come our
on top. By then, Price had scored
six consecutive birdies on holes 9
through 14.
Then, Woods staged a late-
round charge, starting with a birdie
on the 17th.
It came down to the 462-yard
18th hole. Price was leading the
field at 15-under, a stroke ahead on
Woods.

Kobe said.
The Pirates next meet won't
take place until next semester. The
ECU swimmers will head down to
South Carolina to take on the

are not looking forward to a lengthy
layoff over the break though.
On December 29th the Pirates
begin their annual pilgrimage to
Florida for a week and a half of
intense training.
"Basically we will train for five
hours a day to get into the best
shape we can for the last few weeks
of the season. Swimming is a sport
where you can't take time off. Our
swimmers will be home for a week
and a half. At home they will train
with their USS teams, their old
teams and their old teammates. Its
not training at the same level they
get here. When we go down to

" forrnance was, coach Steve
Mariucci quickly discovered that
there was more embarrassment
still to come. When the 49ers got
back in their locker room, Mariucci
telephoned Young to let the player
know his teammates were thinking
about him.
"He told us we gave him a lot of
pain today, squirming around in his

Carolina, the NFL's worst rushing
team, ran for 203 yards against San
Francisco - 131 more than the
Panthers' average and 66 more
than their previous best this sea-
"No question, we missed B.Y
said Gabe Wilkins, who started at
left tackle in place of Young. "But
he's still with us. He's in our spirit,
he's in our

everywhere

Richey's 23-yard field goal on San
Francisco's first possession of the

assures the 49ers (10-3) of at least a
wild-card berth in the playoffs.

back Steve Young said. "We're
going to get the best of everybody,
so we should be proud of being 10-

more gritty about our perfor-
mances and about toughness
The 49ers finished with 236 yards
rushing, the most allowed by

Georges-biggest hurricane
in UCLA upset?
MIAMI (AP) Edgerrin James
ran for a school-record 299 yards
and three touchdowns. Scott
JCovington threw three TD passes
and wasn't intercepted.
Edward Reed forced a fumble
with 3:24 left, keeping UCLA from
sealing the outcome.
There were plenty of
Hurricanes to talk about following
Miami's 49-45 upset of the previ-
ously unbeaten Bruins on Saturday.
But perhaps the most important
one had a single name and last was
seen somewhere over the
Mississippi delta.
Georges.
Timing is everything. And when
Hurricane Georges forced post-
ponement- from tha gameVorigmal
Sept. 26 date, it gave Miami's inex-
perienced players time to mature.
"This is great for the program
said sophomore linebacker Dan
Morgan, who made 17 tackles. "We
are young and it shows all the great
things yet to come
In September, coach Butch
Davis had 14 starting freshmen and
sophomores still adjusting to their
roles. By Saturday, the Hurricanes
themselves had been one game
away from a Bowl Championship
Series berth by finishing second in
the Big East.
"They were better than they
were when we were originally
scheduled to play them UCLA
coach Bob Toledo acknowledged.
"Butch did a great job with this
team
Saturday may well have been a
defining moment for a Miami pro-
gram trying to emerge from the
shambles of NCAA-imposed penal-
ties and return among college foot-
ball's elite.
Last year's 5-6 record was its first
losing season since 1979, before
Miami's run of four national titles in
nine years. The Hurricanes still
have only 77 scholarship players,
eight under the maximum, because
of cuts imposed as punishment for
an illegal-benefits scandal.
Davis called the win a huge trib-
ute to "our integrity and character.
UCLA (10-1) dropped three
places to No. 6 in the final regular-
season poll, dropping out of con-
tention to play for the national
championship in the Fiesta Bowl.
Instead, the Bruins were placed
in the odd position of settling for
the Rose Bowl as a consolation
prize.
Before the BCS was created, the
Pac-10 champion was locked into
spending New Year's in Pasadena,
Calif. Under the new system, the
Bruins would have been released to
play for the national title.
"We had a great year, but not

to win a game like this. It took our
entire team's every ounce of heart
and soul to win this game
The season had its share of
angst. The Hurricanes lost at home
to Virginia Tech in overtime and
struggled in the first half of a win
over Rutgers. A 34-31 win at West
Virginia was a breakthrough, but
things fell apart last week when
they were routed by Syracuse 66-
13, Miami's worst loss since 1944.
"After last week, this was a big
win said James, whose 1,416 yards
rushing this season also is a school
record. "We had nothing to lose and
a bunch to gain. We went out and
we did it
Miami (8-3) was propelled back
into the ratings at No. 24. And as
thousands of fans stormed the
Orange Bowl field after time
expired, the Hurricanes left the
impression of great things to come.
"In my whole career, I never
played in a game where the fans

sive tackle Michael Lawson said.
"I'd seen it on television, but I'd

Alabama to play
Virginia Tech
in Music City
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP)
Alabama will face a team it has
never lost to in the inaugural Music
City Bowl in Nashville, Tenn.
The Crimson Tide (7-4) faces
Virginia Tech (8-3) on Dec. 29, the
first meeting between the two
teams since 1979. Alabama has won
all 10 games in the series.
The Hokies, an at-large selec-
tion, finished third in the Big East
while Alabama was a selection from
the Southeastern Conference.
"This is a big step said Tide
coach Mike DuBose, whose team
.went 4-7 and sat out the postseason
in 1997. "The circle's not complete-
ly closed yet, but
obviously there's not as much of
a gap as there was at the first of the
season. We're headed in the right
direction
Alabama is the all-time leader in
bowl appearances (48) and victories
(28). But after DuBosc's nightmar-
ish debut season, the Tide was
happy just to get back into postsea-
son play of any sort
"Sometimes when you're at a
university like Alabama, with our
rich tradition, you take that for
granted DuBose said. "I think
we're much more appreciative of
this opportunity (after last season)
49ers
continued from page 13
"Offensively we seemed to kind of
idle it down and try to see if we
could get out of there, and that's
way too early. We got caught. We
got burned, and it's tough to
reignite us.
Beucrlein, who threw for 235 yards
and three touchdowns, started the
comeback with a screen pass that
Anthony Johnson turned into a 38-
yard score with 52 seconds left in
the third quarter.
After Carolina forced a San
Francisco punt, Raghib Ismail got
behind the 49ers' secondary for a
40-yard touchdown pass.
Another punt by the 49crs set up a
36-yard reverse by Ismail, who was
yanked down by his facemask by
Ken Norton, putting the ball at the
San FranciscolO. Tshimanga
Biakabutuka scored on a burst
through the right side of the 49ers'
line on the next play. John Kasay's
kick tied it with 6:20 remaining.
The Panthers got back into scoring
range once more in regulation, but
Kasay was wide right on a 47-yard
field-goal try with 22 seconds left.
San Francisco couldn't get into
field-goal range before time
expired.
The Tide is coming off a 31-17
win over Auburn, storming back
from a 17-point deficit to keep its
bowl hopes intact.
Virginia Tech, making its sixth
straight bowl appearance, had a.
topsy-turvy regular season. The
Hokies started off 5-0 and rose to a
No. 14 ranking before blowing a 17-
0 lead in a loss to Temple, which
hadn't beaten a ranked team in 11
years.
Then, the Hokies gave up a
touchdown pass to Syracuse on the
last play of the game and blew a 29-
7 halftime lead against Virginiala-
the season finale.
Virginia Tech wound up losing
that game 36-32.
"Virginia Tech is one play away
from being in the (Bowl
Championship Series) DuBose
said. "They gave up a fourth-down
touchdown to lose a game at
Syracuse. If they win that game,
they win the big East Conference
and are playing in the BCS
The Hokies lost 42-3 to North
Carolina in last year's Gator Bowl.

City of Greenville takes
a bite out of crime
KKl. 1. KV PAYNTER
BTAFi WRITER
The Greenville Police Department is tak-
ing steps to make Greenville a much safer
ity for its residents. According to Captain
John Ennis, Commander of Patrol with
Greenville Police Department, since the
crime rate is increasing rapidly the Police
Department has come up with a few pre-
cautionary programs.
Project l.D. is one that helps victims
repossess valuable property if they are
robbed. This service includes engraving an
l.D. number in valuable property such as
computers, stereos and TVs.
"When the property is reported stolen,
we check pawn shop records and reposses-
sion for the l.D. number and usually can
locate it Ennjs said.
Crime Stoppers is a campaign that has
been around for years. People can call w ith-
out leaving their name and report informa-
tion about a crime. If the information leads
to an arrest, the person could be rewarded
up to $2500.
The new but popular program, 830-
EVES, is similar to the famous Crime
Stoppers. Residents can call this number to
report any suspicious activity or potential
crime and it will be investigated. It is not a
substitute for 411! It should not be used for
emergencies.
According to the 1998 FBI Uniform
Crime Reports, about one third of all vic-
A popular program, 830-EYES allows residents to report suspicious
activity in areas where they do not feel safe.

tinis of violent crimes are between ages 19
and 25. Students are a target for burglaries
especially since they leave for breaksholi-
days and own expensive bikes, computers
and other things of that nature. During hol-
idays, police officers patrol more frequent-
ly, but it does not always help.
"Wc cannot do it by ourselves; crime
prevention is just as much an individual
responsibility as it is the police depart-
ment's Knnis said.
When choosing a place to live, look for a
quality neighborhood that appears to be
safe. Look for one with sufficient lighting.
"Nowhere can you be absolutely guar-
anteed, you can just decrease your odds
said Knnis.
Another type of repeated crime among
students occurs when students leave from
downtown. "Most of the time when they
walk home from downtown, they have had
a few drinks and think nothing could hap-
pen to them said Knnis.
People who leave the downtown area on
foot and alone are at great risk for being
attacked. Law enforcement officers recom-
mend that students wall in groups and be
extremely alert of their surroundings.
"There is nothing new, no new crime
theories. Just be aware of w hat is going on j
said Captain Knnis.
The most important tool in crime pre-
vention is your mind, according to a recent,
crime control survey. Residents can be pro-
tected from crime by using common sense
and a few standard security devices. For
example, install more than one lock on win-
dows and doors and drive a nail through the
window jamb so it cannot be raised.
I lowever, remember even the best security
devices will not keep you safe if you do not :
use them.

SAFETY TIPS
Here are some tips from the North Carolina Department of
Crime and Public Safety to reduce your risk of being victimized:
-Never tell a caller that, you are alone.
-Look through the peephole to see who is at your door.
-If you think a forced entry has been made, do not go inside.
Security cameras to help prevent crime Half of crime
statistics declining
CHjnsTi s i ii n
S-TAl I H HIT KR
Video surveillance cameras are
in the I diversity's future plans,
according to Tom Younce,
assistant director at ECU's
Police Department. Although
Younce isn't sure exactly when
the cameras will be installed,
he does know where.
Two years ago, ECU asked
Lockwood Cireene, Inc a
security company from
Spartenburg S.C to decide
where the cameras would be
most beneficial to faculty, staff
and students. The goal was to
place cameras in parking lots
on campus property.
"Our problem is funding
Younce said. The police
department doesn't have a
budget large enough to incor-
porate the cameras' installation,
thus will have to rely on other
means of funding for the project.
However, the police department
j has Jejen granted money through
tWe Governor's Highway Safety
i Program to put video cameras in
i two patrol cars.
The department will also install
j computers in the patrol cars. This
will help in identifying people and
unning national license plate
-?hecks.
"One of the department's
biggest problems is non-students
on and around campus Younce
said. He hopes that these cameras
md computers will correct the vari-
ous problems incurred by these
people.
Abrial Hayes speaks to an ECU Police officer
in a parking area that may benefit from a security camera
FILE PHOTO
ECU Police Department is the
second largest in the state, behind
NCSU.
"We hope to put a stamp of
approval on what we are doing
here Younce said.
Within the coming year, the
ECU Police Department will be
seeking national accreditation by
having to meet about 600 standards.
"This will only be helpful to our
police department Younce said. If
the accreditation was not finalized,
they would know where the police
department stood and could make
the necessary changes. The police
department is increasing efforts to
maintain a safe carhpus by continu-
ing patrols and Installing more
emergency blue-light phones.
According to Sgt. LaFrance Davis
of the ECU Police Department
Crime Prevention
Division, there arc approximate-
ly 80 phones on campus. "The goal
is to install five phones per year
over the next five years Davis
said.
According to Younce, when new
campus buildings are being
planned, their layout must include
an emergency phone.
In addition to adding new emer-
gency phones to campus, the police
department is working with Facility
Services to make the phones more
handicapped accessible.
Handicapped accessible phones
will be located on
taller brown poles
instead of the current
orange ones.
Another change
includes the
redesigning of the
first floor of the
Blount I louse, where
the F.CU Police-
Department is locat-
ed. This will increase
the effectiveness of
the telecommunica-
tions center.
Currently, the center
handles all emer-
gency and non-emer-
gency calls, which
include 911 and
TDD
(hearingspeech
impaired). The
equipment is
designed to monitor
campus burglary and
fire alarms and secu-
rity telephones in
addition to regular, daily functions.
When the remodeling and instal-
lation of new equipment is com-
plete, the telecommunications cen-
ter will be able to monitor the video
surveillance cameras and have an
enhanced caller tracking system.
Construction began the week of
Oct. 12, 1998 and the anticipated
completion is 120 days later.
The ECU Police Department
wants to make other changes, but
funding is limited.
"The university has always been
good to us as far as funding
Younce said. He pointed out that
needs must be met before wants
fan be pursued.

If you have ever reported anything
stolen at ECU, then you arc a part
of the statistics kept at the ECU
Police Department.
"Most of the calls that we receive
are reports of stolen bookbags or
bikes reports Sgt. LaF'rance
Davis, crime prevention officer.
Arson, drug sales and murder
are just a few of the other areas in
which statistics are kept.
According to the ECU web
page, more than half of the record-
ed crimes have declined over the
past five years. Crime rates have
gone down in many areas. In 1993
there were 45 counts of burglary,
and 36 in 1997. Drug possession
counts went down from 37 counts
in 1993 to 22 in 1997. DWI went
down form 57 counts in 1993 to 37
in 1997. Liquor-law violations went
down from 8 counts in 1993 to 3 in
?1997. And finally weapons viola-
tions went down from 27 counts in
1993 to 14 in 1997.
According to statistics, other
areas have gone up in the last five
years. Larceny went up from 351
counts in 1993 to 408 in 1997.
Simple assault went from 43 counts
in 1993 to 53 in 1997.
"You will find that our statistics
may be higher than other schools
in some areas because we report all
of our statistics Pavis said. "We
don't hide anything under the
rug University of North Carolina
at Chapel I lill's rates are
higher than EC! i in the areas of
burglary and larceny. The number
of burglaries at UNC-Chapel Hill
during 1995 to 1996 was 56 counts.
At ECU during the
1995 to 1996 period there were
50 accounts. During the 1995 to
1996 period at UNC-Chapel Hill
there were 758 accounts of larceny.
There were only 692 accounts at
ECU. Crime rates'at UNC were
lower in the categories of rape and
robbery during that two-year peri-
od. The one category that was
vastly lower at UNC was DWI.
During that two-year span of 1995
to 1996, there were only 34 cita-
tions. At ECU there were 93.
According to the ECU web
page, one of the eight core values
of the ECU Police
Department is to continuously
seek improvement.
"The major area that is under
improvement is larceny Davis
"said. "Bookbags form the student
store and bikes are the main things
stolen.
"Because of the more awareness
of crime on campus, there are more
females taking self defense to pre-
vent assault on themselves Davis
said.
One suggestion that Davis
makes for self protection is to use
the "buddy system
"If you have to go across cam-
pus it is good to take someone witlj

Gay
couples
love like
everyone
Nicoi.f. Underwood
S I F V W HI T K R
It was love at each tap of the key
for Crystal Watson and Jayneen
Thomas, who met in a chat room
two years ago.
"First we started e-mailing one
another, and before I could send a
photo of myself I had Jayneen on
a bus Crystal said.
"My plans were just to stay
until June, but I didn't go back. I
decided to move down here
Jayneen said.
Crystal and Jayneen have been
married for a year now and face
the same challenges of many mar-
ried college students. Yet when
they kiss each other in public,
thi-y receive disapproving looks
and rude comments.
Crystal and Jayneen are a les-
bian couple. "We are just like het-
erosexuals. We fall in love. We
fight. We make up Crystal said.
She feels that many heterosexuals
mistakenly think that homosexual
relationships are just about sex.
"The sex is good, but it's not
about sex she said. "When I first
tame out to my family everything
was fine, but after I told them that
I was getting married it turned to
a different story Crystal said.
"They fed into the stereotype of
homosexual relationships. I feel
they want to accept me deep
clown inside, but they are afraid of
what people might think, rather
than how I feel as a person
Neither Crystal's nor Jayneen's
families came to the wedding,
which was held at the Unitarian
Universalist Church. So they had
seven close friends stand up with
them at the altar on May 1,1997.
"I was more hurt that my sister
did not come more than any one
else in my family Crystal said.
"I didn't invite my family
because they don't know that I
am a lesbian Jayneen said. "I
would have wanted them to be
there, if I could just get the
courage to tell them
Aside from their families' dis-
approval of their relationship,
Jayneen sees prejudice in the
media. She believes that although
people are becoming more aware
about homosexual relationships
because of TV, the characters are
unrealistic.
"Chasing Amy a 1997 film in
Which actress Joey Lauren Adams
portrays an experimenting les-
bian, has Adams questioning her
sexual orientation after meeting a
character played by Ben Affleck.
"The movie didn't help others
see what homosexual relation-
ships are about said Crystal. "I
feel once you're a lesbian, you're
always a lesbian; you're not going
to change
Crystal and Jayneen both say
homosexual relationships have
nothing to do with role-play. No
one plays the man and no one
plays the woman.
"Gay men aren't always flam-
boyant, and lesbians aren't always
butch Crystal said. "These
stereotypes are just helping feed
the ignorant people who don't
know any better
She believes that one way to
change people's views on homo-
sexual relationships is to rid TV
shows of negative stereotypes,
and that a negative stereotype
often shown on sitcoms is the por-
trayal of gay men as feminine-or
wealthy. But "Ellen" was a sitcom
that showed a realistic view of a
lesbian by revealing Ellen as a
person. Crystal and Jayneen feel
that the only way society will
change the view of homosexual
relationships is by-reaching out to
the kids before their minds are
clouded by their parental preju-
dices.
"People need to start looking
at us as people and not be imagin-
ing whdt we are doing in our bed-
room Jayneen said.
College relationships can be complicated, but ohhhhh so rewarding
Ryan Kennemur

It's 9:30 on a Friday night, and a
freshman girl sits alone in her
dorm room waiting for the phone
to ring. Her roommate has gone
home for the weekend, and so
have her suite mates. In a dorm
room on the other side of the
building sits a freshman boy
playing video games with the
lights off. Sound like you or any-
one you know? If so, then open
your eyes to the "Wonderful
World of Meeting People at
ECU
Everyone knows about the
clubs downtown, but not many
know what to do when they get
there. Some go out to the dance
floor and try to bump into a com-
patible companion, while others
opt for the less effective
approach of sitting at the bar and
hoping to strike up a conversa-
tion. Both are acceptable, but
some people find other
ways.
"I like to go downtown and
dance with the guys junior
Susan Taylor said. "It's pretty
fun, but I'd say the best place to
meet date material would be at
work,
especially in an elevator. I've
met plenty of nice guys at work
in the elevator. All you
have to do to start a con-
versation is ask what
floor they are going
to
Other students
agree with her on
the idea of meeting
in the workplace.
"Many people
that meet in the
workplace have a '
chance to develop a
friendship before they
try the actual dating
thing sophomore
Brent Best said. "My
fiancee and I met at the
pizza place I work at
Meeting in the workplace
and downtown isn't for every-
one. In fact, some students aren't
quite old enough to get in the
downtown night spots. These
people must resort to more
uneconomical ways of meeting
people.
"When I was a freshman, I
always met people in my classes,
especially the first day of class
junior Chris Mizelle said. "I
could always get in a conversa-
tion with someone. I mean, since
you're in the same class together,
you already have something in
common
Another place that underage
students can meet is at church or
one of the many church-oriented
groups on campus such as the
Baptist
Student
Union or
New Life.
"I've met lots
of people through
Church and youth group activi-
ties said junior Kelsey Dixon, a
junior Business major, who for
the last three years has dated a
boy she
met at a retreat. "Church is
the place where you meet the
nicer guys. Most of the guys
down-
town are
jerks, anyway
This brings us to
the next and newest way
to meet people: the
Internet. Many students stay
online for hours at a time meet-
ing people in electronic chat
rooms.
"I have two or three friends
that met others through chat
rooms junior Caleb Rose said.
"I even know one guy who is
getting married to a
girl from Portland,
Oregon that he
met - on
America
Online. It's that
addictive. They
exchanged pic-
tures through
their e-mail
accounts and a
few months
later, they
were flying
back and forth to
visit each other
Dr. Phyllis
Monroe, a sociology pro-
fessor, says that the statis-
tics look a little different
than one might expect them
"On the average, about 50
percent of all students meet
prospective relationship material
in the classroom. About 20 per-
cent meet in the dance clubs,
and the rest is divided between
such places as the workplace and
church-related places.
Only a small percentage of
the student body actually meet
on the Internet she said. So the
next time you are at a restaurant,
or even a gas station, look
around. You might see someone
you would like to see more of.
Married students face unique dilemmas
Many wouldn't have
it any other way
Teri Ho well
staff writer
Melissa Bender is not waiting for
Mr. Right to come and sweep her
off of her feet like many of her col-
lege-age female peers may be.
Instead, she looks forward to see-
ing the familiar face of her hus-
band appear in the doorway as he
returns home from class or running
an errand.
Melissa and Berry Bender do
not lead the typical college life. On
Aug. 1, 1998, they vowed to spend
the rest of their lives together as
husband and wife. They were
married in their hometown of New
Bern, NC, and now they face the
challenge of maintaining a mar-
riage and balancing the task of
being college students.
There are about 17,800 stu-
dents who are enrolled at ECU,
according to the Office of Planning
and Institutional Research. Of
those students, only 740 are cur-
rently married.
As one might imagine, being
married has changed the lifestyle
that Berry and Melissa once
livedYou have to focus on each
other Berry said. "The relation-
ship is taken to a whole different
level. It's not just love. I don't even
know how to explain it. It's your
whole life and that love is a lot
deeper than something you say to
a girlfriend. Sometimes it scares
you, but sometimes it's good too
Along with any relationship,
there arc certain pressures that
exist. The fact that they have
made a lifetime commitment to
each other is something on which
they remain continually focused.
"You have to talk about every-
thing and think before you say
things Melissa said. "It's not just
any roommate that you're talking
to
For this newlywed couple,
remembering that they must
always consider the feelings of the
other person has been one of the
added pressures to face. Berry wor-
ries about doing his best to be
kind. There are times when he
may be aggravated, which causes
him to get short with his wife.
"It's a pressure to know when
you are frustrated because you
have to pull back Berry said.
Another responsibility that
comes with marriage is deciding
who will do which household
chores in the apartment close to
campus where they live. Melissa is
responsible for keeping the entire
apartment clean, while Berry does
all of the cooking and grocery
shopping.
"Cleaning is like torture to me.
I know it's not fair because Melissa
does more work Berry said.
However, these rules are not set
in stone. "If there is something
that needs to be done, it's okay to
ask the other person for help
Melissa said.
Since both Melissa and Berry-
are students, they spend much of
their free time studying. They
study together much of the time.
Berry is a business major, and
Melissa's major is exercise physiol-
ogy. Berry has found that being
married has given him a new focus
on school. Since their engagement,
his GPA has increased.
"I need to be able to get a good
job because I have a family to sup-
port he said. "I want to be able to
support Melissa so that she can
stay home with our kids one day, if
that's what she decides she
wants
Other people have been very
supportive of the marriage. Even
the fact that Berry is 19 and
Melissa is 20 has not caused peo-
ple to look at them negatively.
"People see you as one. They
respect you more Melissa said.
They do admit that some peo-
ple initially react strangely, sur-
prised to see a couple that made
such a commitment. That hap-
pened on one occasion when
Melissa missed a class that she has
with Berry, so he offered to grab
her quiz and take it home to her.
He had to explain to the professor
in front of the class that Melissa is
his wife. The students in the class
seemed surprised, and a little
whispering took place, but other
than that it was no big deal.
"As soon as you say i do' you
learn a lot about real life Berry
said.
