ECU has had the highest number of
drug violations in seven years out of a nine-

The year 1998 provided the
American public with enough
scandal, tragedy and intrigue to
last at least until the millennium.
The most important story, of
course, was the impeachment of
President Clinton. Linda Tripp
began this year's debacle by
informing the world on Jan. 12 of
Monica Lewinsky's affair with
the President, providing Paula
Jones with a possible witness to
the sexual harassment suit she
filed against Clinton in May of
1994.
Despite Lewinsky's denial of
a sexual relationship and the President's
statement that he "did not have sexual
relations with that woman independent
counsel Kenneth Starr, originally appoint-
ed to investigate the Whitewater land
deal, launched a full investigation.
On April Fool's Day, a VS. district
judge dismissed Paula Jones' lawsuit, too
late to save the President's reputation.
The day after Lewinsky testified
under immunity before the grand jury on
Aug. 6, the President confessed, "I did
have a relationship with Ms. Lewinsky
that was not appropriateIt constituted a
critical lapse in judgment and a personal
failure on my part for which I am solely
and completely responsible
President Clinton's constant apologies
and hedgy grand jury testimony failed to
deter Congress from voting on Dec. 19 to
make him only rhe second president in
American history to be impeached.
From the day the Mouse began to
debate the articles of impeachment until
the day the vote was taken, the President
launched a new set of air strikes against
Iraq, called Operation Desert Fox.
ij'The action resulted from a build-up of
aggravation at Saddam Hussein's policies,
including blatant challenge of American
planes over the "no-fly" zones and refusal
to comply with UN policies.
The air strikes destroyed barracks for
many of Hussein's elite guard, as well as a
few missile sites.
The majority of the Iraqi public was
angered by the U.S. military action, and
Hussein began to increase his defense of
the "no-fly" zones and to make accusa-
tions of treachery against Arab leaden
that supported the U.S.
Two deaths occurred in 1998 that
awoke the government and the nation to
the issue of "hate crimes a term used to
describe a crime
committed
because of prej-
udice of a spe-
cific characteris-
tic of the victim.
In June,
James Byrd Jr a
handicapped
black man, was
chained by
three white men
to a pickup and
dragged for
miles across Jasper, Texas. He was muti-
lated and decapitated.
'His murder revitalized the effort to
increase the power behind hate crime leg-
islation, most of which only protects vic-
tims participating in federally protected
activities, such as voting. Sen. Edward
Kennedy, D Mass led the fight for a new
bill in the Senate.

Technology expanded to meet needs of students
Campus prepares for
the new millennium
Craig D. Ramey
STAFF WRITER
As the millennium approaches, the
ECU campus is expanding to meet
the changing needs of students in
an age of technology.
Projects worth a total of $180
million are in the works. These will
hopefully make ECU more appeal-
ing to future students.
"The most challenging thing for
us was to design the new Science
and Technology Building said
Bruce Flyc, director of Facilities,
Planning and Construction.
This building covering 259,000
square feet, contains three class-
rooms and cost $58 million.
Interdepartmental research will be
conducted there, and chemistry
and biology classes will meet there.
The building should be completed
in five years.
The building, which is at the
end of the design phase, is project-
ed to be the largest and most
expensive building on the main
campus. Known as Science and

Increase in new jobs
keeps alumni in area
Jason Merrill

ECU's southeastern location may
contribute more than just favor-
able weather and Southern charm
to graduates planning to remain in
this region after graduation.
According to Dr. James
Westmoreland, director of Career
Services at ECU, graduates can
expect a bright future in the job
market of tomorrow.
Westmoreland cited studies that
indicated a 19.3 percent increase
in jobs for new graduates in the
southeast, and he contrasted this
with a 21.8 percent decrease in
job opportunities for new gradu-
ates on the West Coast These are
very pleasing statistics for gradu-
ates who plan to enter the job
market in this area.
As far as ECU graduates are
concerned, only seven percent of
the class of 1997 and five percent
of the class of 1996 were unem-
ployed and stilt seeking employ-
ment within six months of gradu-
ation. Westmoreland stated chat
there are more and more opportu-
nities for ECU graduates in many
fields including electronics, com-
puters, education, physical then-
Technology Building, it will house
the Chemistry Department along
with the School of Industry and
Technology.
State legislators will get an
overview of the project as they tour
the site to decide about the funding
that may be provided toward the
construction of the facility. ECU
hopes to receive some of the $52
million from the General Assembly
near the end of the August session.
Already the school has received
$6.2 million for sight preparation
and planning, but is still in need of
much more in order to start con-
struction.
"Lab space is limited
Chancellor Eakin said. 'To serve
students well we need more lab
space. The Science and
Technology Building should do the
trick. It will be one and a half times
the size of the Rec Center
Improvements will also be
made on the Speight Building. In
some classrooms, professors will be
able to use laptops to project com-
puter information onto overhead
screens, providing a more efficient
teaching tool than transparencies or
chalkboards.
Plans are in motion for the new
dining hall on West Campus which
will feature a more relaxed market-
place type setting where students
will enjoy food that is prepared
before their eyes. Developers are
currently planning the dining hall
which will be two stories hign and
eventually take the place of
Mendenhall dining area.
Efforts have also been focused
toward the traffic problems near
campus. New parking lots are pro-
posed for the north end of Ficklen
Stadium. This will provide 600 new
parking spaces. Existing gravel
parking lots will be paved and have
emergency phones and lights
added.
Finally, renovations on Jarvis
and Jones are planned. Jarvis will
receive new air conditioning and
more modem bathrooms. Jones will
get a new sprinkler system and
have air conditioning added. Belk
will be destroyed so that College
Drive can be extended to meet
14th Street.

Tolerance
is not enough.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jrs
dream was that one day blacks
and whites would not merely
tolerate each other, but live
together in mutual love and
respect.
He admitted the challenges of
this dream, "It is pretty difficult to
like some people. Like is senti-
mental and it is pretty difficult to
like someone bombing your home;
it is pretty difficult to like some-
body threatening your children; it
is difficult to like congressmen
who spend all of their time trying
to defeat civil rights. But Jesus
says love them, and love is
greater than like
What motivated him were these
words from Jesus: "Love your
enemies, do good to those who
hate you, bless those who curse
you, pray for those who abuse
you. If you love those who love
you, what credit is that to you?
But love your enemies, and do
good and your reward will be
great, and you will be sons of the
Most High; for he is kind to the
ungrateful and selfish
With a commitment to love
even his enemies, Dr. King led an
historic civil rights movement
without any violence
or vengeance.
As he said, We must be
concerned aboutthe sacred-
ness of all human life. Every man
is somebody because he is a
child of God
Why Is tolerance not enough?
You can tolerate people without
loving them. But loving them is
what will defeat racism.

Graduate school an
important tool for future
Sixty masters degree
programs offered
Nina M. Dry
FEATURES EDITOR
Higher education plays an impor-
tant role in a person's path to his or
her ideal career. But in this day and
age, it seems as if a four year
degree no longer cuts it.
Many students realize that grad-
uate school is almost necessary so
they may stay in the running for
competitive occupations.
According to Randy Gilland, an
ECU grad student studying coun-
selor education, grad school can
prepare students for their future.
"Graduate school is the best
way to gain that extra education
and experience Gilland said.
Since he graduated from ECU
with an undergrad in Psychology,
Gilland contemplates the differ-
ences between both schools.
"Maturity plays a definite fac-
tor Gilland said. "I'm more seri-
ous and put more time into my
work. As a grad student, we do all
we can instead of just trying to get
by
One of the major differences
between graduate and undergrad is
the course work load. Gilland said
that in grad school it is more
involved.
"The classes are more focused
and demanding Gilland said.
"That's probably why students
don't need so many hours
According to Gilland, the cours-
es aren't so much reading from text
books and listening to the profes-
sors lecture, but more research
based.
"The courses are more
focused Gilland said. "We (cam
from other students as well.
Professors are also more relaxed,
but they expect graduate work
Besides taking centralized
courses, some grad students get the
opportunity to obtain hands on
experience in their field. As a
counselor education major, Gilland
applied for assistanccships to
obtain more experience in his field
and was hired by undergraduate
studies to teach a reading course.
He was also hired by Dr. Brian
Haynes to work in minority affairs.
"I act as a liaison between Dr.
Haynes' office and the Native
American organizations around

With both his courses and his

serious electronic confusion starts
and the machines, programmed to
assume the number "19" before
every two-digit date, will start
repeating the century. Basically,
none of us will have been born yet.
Meaning that on a small scale, cred-
it cards will have expired and no
one will be able to collect Social
Security. Though on the up side,
the IRS will not be able to levy
taxes because they didn't exist in
1900.
Scared yet? The government is
definitely concerned and so are any
number of other industries ranging
from computing to banking to trav-
el. An entirely new industry has
sprung up to worry about the Y2K
problem and work on a cure.
There is a team here at ECU
working on the Millennium Bug
for all of the computers on the
ECU network.
"ECU has been working dili-
gently on resolving the issues about
the Y2K problem. We have not
only been working on financial sys-
tems, but on personal computers
within campus also said Leon
Gipson, applications analysis pro-
grammer.
Vice Chancellor Richard Brown
has made sure that a large amount
of money has been put forth into
making sure that the Personal
Computers (PC's) in the labs have
been cured of the Millennium Bug.
"We have been working on this
for years and the student data sys-
tem was all done in 1995 said
Don Dunlap, Director of Software
Development Services. "Some of
our financial systems we are still
working on an will be done in
March
"We feel very comfortable that
we will resolve this issue before the
given time period said Gipson.

apprenticeships, Gilliand's free

"I didn't expect it to take up as
much of my time, but it is worth

Besides its undergrad programs,
ECU's graduate school programs
offer a variety to students who wish
to continue their education after
four years at a university.
"ECU has 60 masters programs
and 10 PH.D 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 applicants can do
are: read all of the directions on the
application, make all of the dead-
lines and get in touch with the
graduate director of the program
desired.
"Depending on the program,
some have earlier deadlines than
others Pinkham said. "That's
why it is very important to know
when they are in order to get your
application in on time
Pinkham believes it is important
to talk to the graduate director so a
students name can become more
familiar to the graduate director.
"I always encourage students to
get in touch with their graduate
director and let them know who
you are, that you arc applying for
their department and that you are
quite interested Pinkham said.
"This way they will have an idea of
who you are if your name comes up
again
Applicants also must go through
numerous requirements before
being accepted into the program,
graduate school exams known as ,
GREs, which are similar to high
school SATs are among the differ-
ent requirements.
There are different forms of this
test for the numerous programs:
MAT, which is a test that consists
of 100 analogies; GMAT, which is
the exam taken by business stu-
dents; are some of the challenging
requirements graduate hopefuls
must first pass before admittance.
Others such as the TOEFL
exam, are given to international
students wishing to enroll in ECU
programs.
"It is for) students coming
from foreign countries who were
not taught in English Pinkham said.
The GREs can be taken here at
ECU. If you're looking for a little
more assistance before you take
the GRE, there are prep courses
offered at the Student Life
Research Assessment and Testing
office.

He also said that these additional
opportunities, in conjunction with
the reputation of ECU students as
employees with a strong sense of
work ethics, are responsible for
the good placement of ECU
graduates in an increasingly
competitive job market.
As career opportunities
become increasingly special-
ized, many ECU graduates
continue their education in
graduate school. Fourteen
percent of ECU graduates
from the class of 1997 became
full-time graduate students,
and an additional six percent
went on to graduate school on
a part-time basis.
Westmoreland stated that
despite the common miscon-
ception that ECU is primarily
a party school, ECU's alumni
place very well in graduate
school; some graduates have
even gone on to graduate
schools as prestigious as
Harvard and Stanford.
Overall, Westmoreland
emphasized that maintaining a
good GPA is more important than
the major course of study. He
feels that employers look at col-
lege degrees as an indication that
an applicant is capable of learning
to perform the complicated tasks
that are required in today's job
market He also urged students to
come to Career Services as soon as
possible in order to speak with a
counselor. They have thousands
of job listings arranged by both
major and employer, as well as
information about the degrees
offered at various graduate
schools.
Increasing numbers of students are staying
in Eastern North Carolina after graduation.

The East Carolinian
Internet becomes daily
routine for most students
i
Distance learning now
available on campus
SUSANNE MlLENKBVICH
STAFF WRITE
Throughout the past decade, the
Internet has become a way of life
for many people as it offers a world
of information that is readily avail-
able.
As the millennium approaches,
the Internet will continue to be a
part of the dairy routine and will
become even more prevalent in the
lives of the students, faculty, and
staff at ECU.
ECU's web site offers the com-
munity much information about
the university as well as access to
records. Registration may be com-
pleted over the Internet, and
recently courses were made avail-
able to be taken over the Internet
for college credit at a small price.
ECU signed a three-year con-
tract in 1998 with Real Education,
Inc. for $30,000 to expand the
online courses already offered by
the university, and a Distant
Education and Extension advisory
board was established to advise the
university on decisions concerning
the online courses.
The distant learning program
allows people worldwide to take
ECU courses and receive credit for
completed courses through the
Internet.
Five new courses have already
been made available through the
Internet for off-campus students.
The courses include ELEC 4505,
Internet Tools, ASIP 3220,
Business Communications, EDUC
3200, Introduction to American
Education, RCLS 2000
Introduction to Leisure Services,
and ITEC 3292 Industrial Safety.
The courses were chosen from a
list of 10 and based on the potential
audience, the availability to off
campus and on campus students,
and because of the amount of time
the faculty had to prepare the
courses.
The five new courses may only
be accessed on the Real Education,
Inc. home page where anyone
interested in taking a course can
choose from a number of courses
offered by universities throughout
the nation.
ECU has also begun creation of
Internet courses that to be available
on the university home page.
Dr. Richard Ringeisen, vice
chancellor of Academic Affairs,
appointed a task force of faculty
and administration members to
work on developing those online
courses.
The content of all courses to be
offered on the Real Education, Inc.
and ECU web sites will be provid-
ed by ECU faculty, who will super-
vise the academic and curriculum
matters.
"Several faculty members are
working this spring and summer to
develop more online courses
Ringeisen said,
By creating the online courses
ECU has joined other schools such
as UNC-Chapci Hill and NC State
in the age of technology with much
success as we approach the new
millennium.
"Online courses really arc work-
ing for ECU Ringeisen said, "We
will be seeing a large increase in
online courses in the future

distant learning courses, you can

"IP
University keeps Up Minority student groups grow
with technology
Groups flourished in
pastjkxyears
School benefits from
computer advancement
Peter Dawyot
assistant news editor
As technology continues to propel
to new and unforeseen places,
ECU continues, like many other
schools in the system, to try to stay
on top of the ever-changing
advancements in ways that may
prove beneficial to the school.
Lisred as one of the top 25 most
wired schools in the nation last
year, ECU continues to build pro-
grams that encourage advance-
ments in television, computer, dig-
ital, and even sound techniques
that have made it even easier to
gain access to some of the top new
technological toys on the market.
New gadgets range from light-
weight computers, cellular phones
no bigger than a index card, along
with VCR type machines which
play video's on a CD format known
as DVD player are among the
many new inventions which have
recently became the next wave of
the future of technology.
ECU also has found themselves
in the middle of the technology
frenzy.incorporating new teaching
techniques with new advance-
ments from the digital communi-
cations world. Many classes now
rely heavily on the aspects and
help of computers and the internet.
Programs such as ones from the

medical program have been initiat-
ed to help others from far away
towns relieve medical attention.
The telemedical program allows
doctors to view patients who live in
other cities through the help of the
internet and the new computer
technology initiated here at ECU.
"Technology is increasing the
access, as well as the quality of
health care in North Carolina said
Lori Maiolo, training center coordi-
nator.
To date, the program has com-
pleted 3,000 consultations in 34
different specialties of medicine
through its REACH-TV network
at 12 clinical sites. The technical
team at ECU integrated advanced
telecommunications technologies
into a uniform network, creating
the most flexible telemedical net-
work in the country.
Students have also found them-
selves interacting with the new
advancements, bringing more per-
sonal computers and laptops to
school every semester. Western
Carolina University already
requires students to bring comput-
ers to school, a condition that many
other colleges in the state plan to
adopt within the next few years.
ECU also plans to begin con-
struction soon on a new building, to
be finished by fall of 2002, to house
the Chemistry Department and
other technology-related depart-
ments. Plans for the finish of the
building could come possibly as
soon as the fall semester of 2002.
The construction comes on the
heels of a University of North
Carolina System consultant's
choice of Flanagan as one of the
two worst academic facilities in the
system.
Many have found themselves
wondering what will be next for
the upcoming years of the technol-
ogy wave. Experts predict faster,
better quality, more lightweight
computers with price tags that may
soon rival those of today's personal
computers.
Rachael Higdon

Minority Student Organizations
have shown increasing growth and
will continue to support diversity
on campus through the year 2000.
In the past five years such
groups as the NAACP, the Black
Student Union, the Native
Amcricam fraternity Epsilon Chi
Nu, and the Native American
sorority Sigma Omicron Epsilon
have been formed and have flour-
ished, gaining members and sup-
port every year.
Campus leaders, such as the
Director of Minority Student
Affairs Brian Haynes, believe that
the need for specific culturally
based groups is growing at univer-
sities across the United State at
the enrollment includes a broader
ethnic base. These types of groups
will multiply in the coming yean.
Haynes also thinks that America
will continue to shift from a society
based on one culture to one that
embraces all cultures. When
groups are formed to identify a spe-
cific segment of the student popu-
lation, that segment is able to join
the mainstream and use its voice.
According to Haynes, in order to
live and work in a diverse society,
students need to become more
aware of their own personal preju-
dices and take responsibility for
addressing bias and discrimination
that they encounter. To be suc-
cessful in overcoming stereotypes,
we need to be able to understand
and avoid common misconcep-
tions.
Along with becoming more
dominant in the university system,
persons of color will also be the
majority population by the year
2025. The face of the US is chang-
ing and so will the workplace and
the educational environment.
This will increase the need to gain
respect for all genders and races.
The growth and success of minori-
ty student organizations at ECU
gives the campus a positive out-
look toward the year 2000.
"We all need to work to gain a
better understanding of diversity
Haynes said.
The International Student
Program is looking toward its goal
for the future: growth. Although
fluctuating over the past five years,
growth has been slow and steady,
and the hope is that the new mil-
lennium will bring more interna-
tional students and an increase in
the exchange program. To achieve
this goal, they are making more
directed efforts at recruiting and
following up more consistently.
Nation
continued from page 1
one hand tied behind their backs
he said.
Some conservative Republicans
have attacked hate-crime legisla-
tion because of their inclusion of
gays and lesbians as protected vic-
tims. That stance was challenged
in October when Wyoming college
student Matthew Shcpard was tied
to a fence with severe head trauma
in nearly-freezing temperatures.
He lay in a coma on full life-sup-
port until his body gave out on
Oct. 12.
Though the two men and two
women charged with the crime
claim robbery as a motive, gay
rights advocates say otherwise, cry-
ing for attention to the matter,
holding candle-light vigils and
demanding inclusion of gays and
lesbians into hate crime laws.
With the sharp-looking I-Macs
selling like hotcakes and AOL's
acquisition of Netscape, not to
mention the impending Y2K bug
moving to the forefront of techno-
logical concern, 1998 saw a great
deal of activity on the computer
front.
The most publicized event was
the Microsoft trial. Several soft-
ware companies backed the Justice
Department in accusing Bill Gates,
of running a monopoly on comput-
er software, pointing to Microsoft's
80 to 90 percent command of oper-
ating systems as evidence that the
company has used nasty tactics to
get ahead.
Microsoft, however, has
responded by remarking the
Netscape-AOL deal and Sun
Microsystems' Java technology as a
new wave of competition in an
ever-changing market.
While Minnesota elected for-
mer mayor, Navy Seal and profes-
sional wrestler, libertarian Jesse,
"The Body" Ventura as governor
Mark Maguire beat out Sammy!
Sosa for the new home run record!
and the NBA strike raged on
America lost Frank Sonatra, Phil!
Hartman, Lloyd Bridges and!
Sonny Bono.
As 1999 commences, the econo
my is up and the government is!
stalled and Y2K is on its way.

According to Bray, the part of the
MC was quite challenging.
"I think I was ready for a role
like that Bray said. "I feel that I
was mature enough to handle a role
like that
Bray said he realized that if he
had taken on a role like
this his freshman year, it
would just have been
"Jim Bray making funny

Bray said he wants to
be in roles that challenge
him, proving that he can
do other things instead of
being type-cast in the
loud mouth, outgoing
roles. He is looking for-
ward to auditioning for the upcom-
ing Playhouse productions, "Our
Town Hot I Baltimore" and
whatever workshops come up.
As a child Bray always had a love
of acting. While growing up in
Winston-Salem, NC, he was what
many people would consider a
"ham
"When you're young, TV is in
your face all of the time Bray said.
"I had dreams of being on TV

about it that definitely intrigued
me when I was little
Although Bray took acting class-
es at a community theater through-
out his grade school years, he was-
n't really into it when he first began
high school. According to Bray, he
thought the people in theater at
Mt. Tabor High School were
"weird
Upon the persuasion of a friend,
Bray decided to take a theater class,
where he met many interesting
characters his freshman year. This
still did not increase his appeal to
join theater, as he joined the
track team in the spring.
During this time Mt. Tabor
was presenting the musical
"Grease Bray's drama teacher
offered him the part of Eugene,
but he declined.
"I was running track, and it
was more important to me at the
time Bray said. "1 now regret
that 1 didn't do it
He did continue to take the-
ater classes, however.
During his sophomore year,
Bray joined the cross country
team, but he did not enjoy him-
self. As soon as cross country sea-
son was over, he went back to
what had been his calling all
along, and never ran for his
school again.
From that moment on, Bray
spent all of his time in the the-
ater department. While acting,
he also did a lot of the pre-pro-
duction work such as building
sets, working the lights, and
became the stage manager for
one of the plays.
"Doing all of the behind the
scenes work taught us the
responsibility behind what we
wanted to do Bray said.
It was during his senior year
that all of the hard work paid off
as he received his first lead role in
the musical production "Damn
Yankees where he played Mr.
Applegate.
According to Bray, his drama
teacher suggested he take up musi-
cal theater as a major once he came
to college. At first Bray thought it
w uld be better to do just straight
acting instead of musical theater.
"Musical theater isn't in your
face all the time like TV and films
are Bray said. "You can't see a
Broadway show in your living
room
He finally decided to heed the
schools at the audition Bray said.
"I got called back by eight, but
ECU wasn't one of them

sentative who told him to come
visit the school.

suggestion of his teacher, and major
in musical theater and minor in
communications "to have some-
thing to fall back on" if the acting
thing didn't happen.
After looking at eight different
schools, Bray started going to schol-
arship auditions, one of which was
held in New Bern, NC.
"There were 10 different
Upon his arrival, Bray spoke
with chairperson, John Shearin, and
the musical teacher at the time who
told him to audition for the produc-
tion he would be putting on in the
fall and to make sure he was seen
around the department.
After graduating from high
school in 1995, he chose to attend
ECU. According to Bray, ECU is
one of the best theater schools in
the state among the state support-
ed schools.
Bray recognizes that a lot of his
success came from the support of
the faculty and his friends.
"Dr. Don Bichn has
been the biggest impact on
me Bray said. "He was a
great teacher who support-
ed me and taught me to
trust myself.
"Friends are really
important. They have been
one of the best things for
me. They've helped me
through many times. I
don't know what I would
have done if it weren't for
my friends in the theater
department
After graduation Bray
plans to do some summer
stock theater and in either
August or September move
to New York.
"I want to go up there
and excel Bray said. "I
want to affect people the
way I am affected when I
see a movie. I want to
enable them to have some
sort of connection with
what I am doing
For those who are inter-
ested in theater, Bray
leaves these final words of
wisdom:
"Audition for every
show. Don't let one show
pass you by that you don't
audition for Bray said. "Also
make sure what you are doing here
is because you love it, not just
because you think it is some sort of

Yoga is a system of exercises for
attaining bodily or mental control
and well-being. It's more than just
a bunch of pretzel positions that
supposedly help you lose weight; it
is a great stress relieving technique
and is a growing trend leading into
the millennium. The recreational
center at ECU offers Yoga to inter-
ested students.
"Yoga courses were introduced
to the Rec Center in the Spring of
'97, right when the facility opened
up said Kari Brown, director of fit-
ness at the Rec Center. "With Yoga
being on an up trend, (he demand
has been going up. This had been
our strongest year
Aside from being rated one of
the best fitness programs you can
do without bouncing around and
working up a sweat, it offers a
plethora of other health benefits.
Yoga improves your flexibility,
helping you feel more relaxed
(which is especially good around
exam time) and also reduces the
likelihood of muscle strain and
sports related injuries. Another
benefit of the program is that it
reduces stress by promoting deep
relaxation, increasing blood circula-
tion and improving coordination.
"The mind and body classes are
quite popular among the students
Brown said.
"I incorporate the breath and
relaxation into my classes said
Dcbi Niswander, yoga instructor at
the Rec Center. "I focus on relax-
ation and the removal of stress out
of the body, mind and emotions
Yoga also conditions your mus-
cles without the use of weights and
barbells. This is obtained through
resistance exercises that use your
own body weight.
Yoga can also (listen up ladies)
relieve those once a month killer
pains. This exercise opens up your
chest cavity and stretches the mus-
cles in your lower back alleviating
killer cramps. Keeping your hands
planted at your feet while stepping
into a push-up position, slowly
lower your knees, then your chest,
and finally your chin to the floor.
Inhale deeply, moving your body
forward and upward. Keep your
shoulders relaxed. Try not to sag in
the middle and keep your arms
straight.
Despite this exercise that targets
'females. Yoga is not just for women
anymore.
"Although the classes tend to
have more females, we do have a
mix of males and females in our
classes Brown said.
Yoga classes will be offered this
semester at the Rec Center. From
Jan. 27 through March 3 there will
be an introductory course offered
every Wednesday at 4 p.m. If
Wednesdays aren't good times,
another introductory course will be
held from Jan. 28 through March 4
with courses every Thursday at 5:30
p.m.
For those who have already com-
pleted an intro course, there is an
advanced beginners class offered
every Tuesday starting from Jan. 26
through March 2 at 5:30 p.m.
"Each class can accommodate 28
students Brown said. "To register,
students need their ECU one

members

As a new semester starts, many
students may find themselves
stressing about the future. Not to
worry: ECU has many services
that make it easy for students to
choose their majors and careers.
"There shouldn't be any pan-
icking going on if a student is still
undecided said Lynn Roeder,
director of the Center for Student
Counseling and Development.
"We just want students to have an
idea of what their focus is by their
junior year
A student can use a personal
assessment of his or her interests,
strengths and weaknesses to fill
out the college major selection
form, available at the office of
Undergraduate Studies. This
helps to narrow the field of choic-
es of majors.
"When students come to me
for help, I think one of the most
important steps is showing them
the requirements for certain
majors said Don Joyner, assis-
tant dean of Undergraduate
Studies. "A science or foreign lan-
guage requirement may make the
difference between
whether or not a
major is suitable for
a student
Students may
worry chat once
they choose a major
there is no chance
for change, but that
is not true.
"People think
majors are for life
Joyner said. "What
students need to
remember is that
people change careers
all their lives

just decided on a major may think
that it is too early to start consider-
ing a career path, but if a they gets

ining Services has a plan to deal
th the problem through the con-
iction, tentatively planned to
in early 2000, of a new dining
ail.
Mendenhall seats 355 students,
but the new dining hall will seat
about 600-650. It will replace the
,Flannagan-Sylvan Amphitheater
that currently lies buried in the hill
i , next to downtown.

, this dining hall already possesses
new features that will set it apart
from the rest.
"We will be using an 'All-You-
Care-to-Eat' concept Salamon
said. "There will be less cafeteria

feeling
Dining Services intends to
stress freshness in the food by
preparing it right in front of the
customer. Aramark will extend its
service to the new dining hall.
Since the amphitheater area
will provide the site of the new
dining area, the building will have
a unique layout. The interior din-
ing area will include terraces and
many levels because of its place-
ment on the hill.
Food sales to Dining Services
will supply the finances for con-
struction. Gantt and Huberman,
architects from Charlotte, will
build the new dining hall.
After its completion, tentatively
set for fall of 2001, Mendenhall
will be getting a new look.
The Spot will expand into the
area that now serves as the dining
hall. That space will become the
Student Union Food Court and
Entertainment area. Many kiosks
will be placed to serve food.
According to Dining Services, it
will be reminiscent of the Plaza

Pirate football faces tough 1999 schedule
Duke, Miami, NC
State to come to ECU
Mario Scherhaufek
spouts editor
The Pirates will have the opportu-
nity to kick Wolfpack butt on home
turf for the first time ever in an
exciting season packed full of tough
matches against Miami, Duke,
West Virginia (at Charlotte),
Southern Miss, Cincinnati, and the
1998 Liberty Bowl winner Tulane.
According to Dr. Henry
VanSant, EClI's associate athletics
director, the official schedule will
"Then is always a lot of
enthusiasm involved in the
Pirate-Wolfpack rivalry. This
rivalry means a lot to students
and fans as well. I think
that this year it will be a
great game again
Dennis Young
Executive director of the AthleiicsPirate Club
not be available until the end of this
month, but it is already being called
the best home game schedule ever
in Pirate football history. South
Carolina will be ECU's first away
opponent with Army, UAB and
Houston rounding out the schedule
on the road.
"We played a lot of good teams
Greenville before, but this is the
first time Duke and NC State are
coming to town VanSant said.
"Our footbal' program is growing
and getting stronger and our players
deserve big-name institutions
which present a bigger challenge
and additional motivation to them
According to VanSant there are
several reasons why ECU didn't
have a similar attractive schedule
before, with the completion of the
upper-deck extension at Dowdy
Ficklen Stadium as the most obvi-
ous one.
"Due partly to the new 43,000
capacity of the stadium and to some
political pressure, NC State
became more receptive to play at
Greenville VanSant said.
Additionally, there is a policy of
scheduling home-and-home with
some schools, which means that
both teams agree to play at each
others stadium the following year,
VantSant said.
Money, of course, can attract
good teams as well, but according
to VanSant, there is usually the
same amount of money exchanged
between two schools. "If they pay
us $100,000, for example, to come
to their school, we would pay them
$100,000 to come to our school the
following year VantSant said.
Looking at the impressive
names of teams, there is no ques-
tion that Greenville will be the
media focus a couple of times
in the 1999 football season.
Now it's up to the coaching
staff and the team to use this
opportunity of media exposure
and get ready for the challeng-
ing season.
"The upside of this sched-
ule is that if you win those
games you'll get the people's
attention, but you have to win
those games first said Steve
Logan, ECU football head
coach. "It's our job now to take
this group of kids and try to
maximize their abilities
The Pirate defense line will
be the biggest question mark
in the 1999 team after ECU
lost four defensive starters
including Roderick Coleman,
who is the Pirate career sacks
leader, as well as Travis
Darden.
"We're going to redo our
defense with putting the
emphasis on speed and quick-
ness. ;tWe won't be strong but
we will be a lot faster Logan
said.
Another big loss for the
team will be the loss of Troy
Smith, who Logan calls the
best wild receiver in his 25-
year-career as football coach.
"You don't replace guys like
that You have to find a way to
do things differently Logan
said.
According to Logan, quar-
terback Bobby Weaver, who is
currently recovering from his
knee injury will not be avail-
able for spring practice but is
expected to return to action for
the fall season. "He is drop-
ping back and throwing balls.
We can't count on him for
spring but for fall Logan said.
David Garrard, last year's
red-shirt freshman quarter-
back, was considered one of
1998's major positive surprises
by Logan and the Pirate fans.
"I think that we really got
everything out of the kids last
year considering that we had a
red-shirt freshman quarterback
and considering the injury fac-
tor Logan said.
Such a big home schedule
also means less travel and orga-
nization stress for everybody
involved, according to Logan.
"It simply is a win-win situ-
ation for everybody said
Dennis Young, executive
director of the AthleticsPirate
Club. "This schedule is great
for our athletic program, for the
Pirate Club, and for the entire uni-
versity. And don't forget the kids
who will be out on the field in front
of a sold-out Dowdy Ficklen
Stadium facing a top-ranked team
from Miami. It will be a lot of
excitement for everybody
involved
According to Young, this sched-
ule, which he calls the best home
schedule ever in ECU football his-
tory, will be a tremendous boost for
the Pirate Club as well.
'This (home schedule) promis-
es a definite growth in membership
numbers and season tickets
Young said. "And for the fans and
students, there will be a number of
great football Saturdays coming up
this fall in Greenville
Young calls Miami the toughest
opponent, but he also said that NC
State will bring a lot of emotions
into town.
"There is always a lot of enthu-
siasm involved in the Pirate-
Wolfpack rivalry Young
said.Young still remembers the day
when Pirate fans stormed the field
and tore the goal post down in 1987
after the Wolfpack was defeated 32-

again Young said.
Nevertheless, Young does think
that this rivalry means that addi-
tional security will be necessary for
the game against NC State.
"We will have a full house that
day, and our entire crew will have
an exhausting day, but I don't think
that we will have an security prob-
lem just because of the team we're

CAA coaches picked ECU to fin-
ish last in their conference after
losing most of last year's starters.
But, the Pirate basketball players
surprised everybody except them-
selves by starting the season off
well.
Thanks to the good work of
coaches and the versatility of the
players, the ECU men's basketball
team headed into the Christmas
holidays with a 5-3 record and a first
place ranking in the conference.
These numbers changed over
the break after the Pirates unfortu-
nately got hit by a series of injured
players. Junior forward Evaldas
Joeys is out indefinitely with a frac-
tured left foot according to the
ECU Sports Information. Joeys has
been the unexpected leader
through the first part of the season.
He is averaging 14.75 points and 6.6
rebounds per game. Joeys had been
starting in place of injured Alphons

Tough upcoming spring for women's hoops
Lady Pirates start out
strong to face CAA foes
Eric Couch
SENIOR WRITER
The first half of the inaugural sea-
son of head coach Dee Gibson has
been a success, and the women's
basketball team hopes to continue
that success in the second half of
the season.
The Pirates jumped out of-the
chute fast this season with an early
record of 5-0. Over the
Thanksgiving holiday they picked
up the Warner Classic Championship
tide and then competed in the
championship game of the
Chescbrough-Ponds Invitational
and were handed their first loss of
the season against Davidson.
"In our losses, mainly our
defense didn't attack like we
should said Beth Jaynes, senior
center.
That defense is one of the
things that Dee Gibson will try to

important roles Dooley said.
"We need to keep our focus and
concentrate on building momen-
tum as we continue conference
play
Nine more games and the CAA
tournament remain on the Pirates
schedule.
"The bulk of our conference
games are ahead of us and every-
one is ready to get them started to
see how we really stand up
Dooley said.
The Pirates boasted an 8-6
record going into last Wednesday's
match up against Old Dominion
where ECU's Neil Punt had tied
the game at 51-51 with a lay up at
the :22 mark. Nevertheless, ODU
ran the clock down inside 10 sec-
onds before Mike Byers hit a run-
ning jumper to help lift the
Monarchs to the close victory over
the Pirates.
These close games though, will
decide how the Pirates fare in the
conference which they were
expected to finish last in.
Several key players have been
making the good start happen for
the Pirates this season. Alico
Dunk has been supplying a rela-
tively young team with much
needed senior leadership.
"Alico has been a great leader
on and off the court Dooley said.
"He has played his role in every
game and he does whatever it
takes to get the win
Freshman Brandon Hawkins
has been impressive since the
start. He is the team's second lead-
ing scorer and leads the team in
assists. Hawkins averaged 10.8
points per game in his first five
starts at the guard position. He
shows great promise and gives
Pirate basketball a bright future.
The Pirates starting lineup has
changed several times this season
and the team is starting to really
play together.
"We have many interchange-
able players this year Dooley
said. 'The team is very versatile
ECU students have always
been supportive of Pirate basket-
ball and its players, and coaches
hope the student body will contin-
ue to attend games and show their
enthusiasm.
"Winning isn't everything to
me ECU senior Christy Pratt
said. "I just like going to the
games and giving the team my
support. The games are exciting
and the pep band really makes
things fun
Nevertheless, the arena still
has not been close to being sold
out
ECU and UNCW have one of
the most heated rivalries in the

on Jan. 23 in Wilmington. The

motivate. All year the Pirates have
seemed to jump out in the second
half and take control of the game in
most of the Pirates' wins. This
proved true on Jan. 10 when the
Pirates downed JMU, 70-61, after a
sluggish start. ?
"We're a second half team said
Waynetta Veney, point guard and
team leader.
The Pirates plan to get more
outstanding play from Veney.

With every new season, new faces
are prominent and new stars shoot
into the ECU sports galaxy.
This year most teams will be
bolstered with new talent and
familiar players who hit new levels
of success. We have already seen a
few athletes who have shown
promise and intend to make this
season one of their own.
The ECU women's basketball
team is off to its best start of the
decade. This is due largely to
Waynctta Veney, a 5'10" point
guard in her first year playing on
the squad. She spent two years at
the College of Charleston before
transferring to ECU last year. The
Hampton, Va. product sat out last
year under ex-coach Anne
Donovan. This year she has had to
adjust to a new coach and a new
role as a team leader.
"Our team goes as she goes
said Dee Gibson, women's head
basketball coach. "She's our leader.
When she plays well, we have a
great opportunity to win. She is an
integral part of our team
Veney is currently
leading the league in
assists and scoring, aver-
aging an impressive 17.3
points per game. She
plays an important role
in ECU's fast-paced
game.
"Our style is well suit-
ed for her style. She's not
really a walk-the-ball-
up-the-floor type of
point guard Gibson
said.
The men's team has a rising star
of their own. Evaldas Joeys, a
native of Lithuania, comes to ECU
from Western Nebraska
Community College.
While at Western
Nebraska, the 6'9" for-
ward was named JUCO
All-America. Joeys has
led the Pirates in scoring
so far this season, averag-
ing over 14 points per
game. The junior also
picked up the CAA
Player of the Week for
strong performances fil
against Liberty and the
Ragin' Cajuns of USL.
"He's got to provide leader-
ship said Joe Dooley, men's head
basketball coach. "He's got lots of
skills. As he gets more comfortable
Waynetta Veney
FILE PHOTO
he will be able to exhibit more of
those skills
Equally as com-
pelling as the journey of
Joeys and Veney is the
story of the track team's
Terry Speller. The
Williamston, N.C.
native walked onto last
year's team but was
injured while playing
basketball before he
could race. Thus,
Speller did not compete
on last season's loaded squad. This
year the sophomore has returned to
the track team and has done noth-
ing but impress in practice.
"He's back this year and he's
coming along nicely
said Bill Carson, men's
head track coach. "Terry
likes to talk a lot, but I
think this year he can
back it up. He's per-
forming very well in
practice but he's still got
a lot to learn
Speller is a nice addi-
Evaldas Joeys tion to a team that is full
rut photo of rising stars. In addi-
tion to the long list of
conference champions that return,
the team welcomes back an Ail-
American, James Alexander, and
two one-time track stars who went
to try their luck with football.

player of the week. She has also led
the team in scoring and assists
despite sitting out some games
because of an ankle sprain.
On Jan. 8, the women captured
another win against William &
Mary, defeating the Tribe 71-59.
Considering such success, the
second half of the season does
promise to be tough for ECU.
Long-time menace Old Dominion
heads the list with ECU trying to
get revenge at this nationally
ranked team which handed the
Pirates three losses last season.
"We always know Old
Dominion will be tough, but our
goal is always the tournament
CAA and making it to the NCAA
tournament Jaynes said.
Jaynes scepticism proved to be
ri?ht when the Pirates fell to the
No. 11 Lady Monarchs 81-52 in
CAA action on Friday night. "I feel
that we struggled offensively
Gibson said. "After the first half we
stopped attacking
The losses this year for ECU
have been to very good teams.
Davidson and Virginia Tech were
teams the Pirates knew they would
have to play well against, and it just
was not enough. With four Pirates
who have been injured at one time,
one main goal of ECU will be to

Screaming, dancing and playing
that funky music is what the ECU
pep band does best.
The unofficial name of the ECU
pep band as The Sixth Man Band
describes how the group works to
establish themselves as that next
presence on the court The pep
band uses upbeat music, cheers
and a positive attitude to energize
ECU fans and support Pirate bas-
ketball.
"We make sure the crowd stays
involved and we support the
team said Donny Allen, pep band
director. "The band also dpes
cheers as part of the pregame and
tries to create a sense of school
pride
Another aspect of the ECU pep
band is the effect it has on opposing
teams. Band members use loud
music and taunting cheers to break
the concentration of visiting players
on free-throws.
"We like to get rowdy and get
into the head of the opposing
team Allen said. "We try to irritate
and really annoy them
The pep band stands the entire
game as a method of showing sup-
port for Pirate basketball. Band
members also have ritual cheers
and tactics they want the crowd to
help them participate in. With the
crowd contributing their voices as
well, the band hopes Pirate players
will benefit while opposing teams
will struggle.
"We are as rowdy as possible and
try to energize the crowd said
David Holt, an ECU pep band
member. "We scream, holler and
have lots of fun
The pep band, however, docs
not forget its musical duties and
music lovers will be
very impressed with
The Sixth Man
Band's performance.
Musical numbers
include 70's funk,
80's rock and current
radio hits. The fight
song and other
crowd favorites
played by the
Marching Pirates are
also covered by the
pep band. Talented
musicians with lots
of energy and a love
of playing music
make The Sixth Man Band impres-
sive and exciting to watch.
"The musicianship is high and
the atmosphere is professional
Holt said. "We are by far the best
band in the CAA
Director Donny Allen is proud
of the band and recognizes: their
skill and the contribution they
make to the games.

season set to begin
ECU Rec Center offers
intramural basketball
David Gaskins
assistant director of intramural
sports at ecu recreational.
SIRVIC1S
Among many intramural programs
that will be offered at the ECU
recreational center and its outdoor
facilities, basketball will be this
spring's highlight and is expected
to start soon.
The Department of
Recreational Services will be spon-
soring a 5-on-5 Basketball league
which will be open to all students,
faculty and staff at ECU.
Leagues will be offered for
men's, women's and Co-Rec teams.
Information regarding playing
rules, participation policies, league
guidelines and entry procedures
will be covered during the first
meeting today, Jan. 19 in
Mendenhall, room 244 at 5 p.m.
Registration for league play will be
held tomorrow, Jan. 20 at the
Student Rec Center, room 128
between 10 a.m. and 3 Jo p.m.
Unaffiliated players who are
interested in playing are encour-
aged to attend for placement on a
team. Teams will play a round-
robin format which will be fol-
lowed by a single elimination tour-
nament to determine All-Campus
champions. Gold (advanced skill),
Purple (intermediate), and Blue
(recreational) leagues will be avail-
able provided that there is suffi-
cient interest.
Leagues will also be offered to
accommodate varying segments of
the university population and will
include Men's Independent,
Fraternity, Residence Hall,
Sorority, Women's Independent
and Co-Rec. A variety of playing
days and times are available for
convenience and assorted schedul-
ing needs.
The regular season will begin
on the week of Jan. 25; games will
be played in the evenings at
Christenbury Gym and the
Student Recreation Center.
Prior to the opening of the regu-
lar season a limited number of
teams will be able to participate in
the Basketball Preview. This is a
preliminary jamboree-type event
which provides league teams the
chance to play several opponents in
shortened games in preparation for
the season. Registration for the
Preview will be on a first-come,
first-serve basis while openings last
and will be conducted along with
the regular season sign-up tomor-
row at the Rec Center.
There is no cost for students
and Student Recreation Center
member facultystaff. Non-SRC
member facultystaff will have the
option either to purchase a daily
guest pass for entry into the facility
or may purchase a 'Limited Pass'
for $10.00 which will cover facility
usage costs for the entire
Basketball season. For further
information on the 5-on-S
Basketball league or the Intramural
Sports program, contact Allison

Head coach Traccy Kee believes
that the new players on the team
will make an immediate impact,

be the keys to success for this year's

Softball team members have
been working hard off the field as

A Big South Tournament

Polonius, who was picked first to

Lacrosse still recruiting

Jim Phelps
senior writer
If you are getting tired of playing
frisbee with your dog, Student
Recreational Services offers a num-
ber of club teams that will use your
talent.
Club sports are extramural orga-
nizations that are student-run and
get financial support from Rec
Services to compete against other
university teams.
"For example, the Rugby men's
club will compete against UNC-
Chapcl Hill, N.C. State and all
kinds of different club teams from
different universities said Todd
King, marketing director for
Student Rec Center. "The other
clubs, like the kayaking club, are
just a bunch of people that enjoy
the sport and go on trips together
The clubs are always recruiting
new members throughout the
semester.
"The best way to get involved in
a club is to come to Recreational
Services and speak with Gray
Hodges and he'll be able to give
you the information you need and
who to contact to get involved in
the club King said.
The club teams at ECU tend to
compete really well.
"Our ultimate frisbee team is
always ranked nationally in the top
five and the rugby team does really
well in the inter-
collegiate
leagues, and
lacrosse does
very well also
King said.
Every team
wants to be suc-
cessful in their
competitions.
The lacrosse
team has high
hopes for the
upcoming sea-
son that begins
in about three to four weeks when
they will also begin their practicing.
They will continue to recruit for the
next three to four weeks.
"We've always done really
good said Ben Kley, president of
the team. "Last year was the first

Individual accomplishment to form strong team
Golfers show ambitions
for national recognition
Tracy Hairr
assistant sports editor
By the end of 1998, the ECU golf
team had closed its fall season and
laid a solid foundation for a spring
season full of anticipated change
and success.
"It was by far the best fall I've
?een since I've been here said
Kevin Williams, head coach. "Our
stroke average was
extremely low and
our national ranking
was the highest it's
ever been
This national
scale is based on scor-
ing averages and cur-
rently the Pirates are
ranked 19th in the
district
There is a light at
the end of the tunnel,
however Williams
said. "Around the
end of February a
committee is sched-
Marc Miller to lead the 1999 team.

uled to vote on
whether or not
con fere nee
champions can
receive automat-
ic admission into
the NCAA tour-
nament"
If this follows
through, the
Pirates' scores
will be consid-
ered on a much
broader scale
that includes the
nation's best
teams, among
whom ECU certainly seems com-
patible after considering the
accomplishments of key players.
Freshmen Frank Adams and M.
Chad Webb proved their excep-
tional skills despite being new to
the team last year. They each
played 23 total tournaments, nine
of which were 71 or below.
"This was really good Williams
said. "In effect they were shooting
under par nine times, and they
came out strong for us
Other top players with the
team's lowest averages were senior
Scott Campbell and junior Marc
MHJpr whose scores were 73.2 and
Tennis teams
bring new talents
Kalajo, Morgan to
lead'through season
Todd Tallmadce
senior writer
While the women's tennis team
will have to rely on one senior and
a lot of new talent for the upcom-
ing season, the men's team hopes
to take its good fall tournament
results and hard practice into a
challenging 1999 tennis season.
The men's team is led by
seniors Roope Kalajo and Kenny
Kirby. Kalajo is coming off of a
good showing at the 1998 ITA
Region II Indoor Championships.
He advanced to the second round
of the tournament before being
eliminated. Kirby and sophomore
Michael Huez will carry their
impressive fall play into the spring
matches.
"We had some great practices in
the fall said junior Stephen
Siebenbrunner. "The team ran
more this season and this helped
us as the fall season went on. It
should help us in the spring season
too
The women's team lost its
number one player, Anne Svae,
due to graduation.
After several big wins this fall,
the team will look to the lone
senior Catherine Morgan to
assume the leadership role.
"Catherine stepped up and
played at a level higher than she
ever had before said Brian
Jackson, assistant coach.
Freshmen Meredith Spears,
Andrea Tcrrill and Mary Elaine
Knox had a strong showing this
past fall, and will hopefully add to
their list of wins while they also
will need to share their experi-
ences with some new arrivals.
Hrushida Kamhre, Stacey Sasser
and Maria Carolina Torres will
begin playing this season, intro-
ducing their talents and encourag-
ing change throughout the team;
head coach Tom Morris is opti-
mistic.
"We as a team ended well in
the fall and are looking forward to
the spring Morris said. "We
made the improvements we need-
ed to have a great showing in the
CAA this season
The men's and women's teams
will start practice Jan. 18. The first
match will be on Feb. 9 when the
Pirates host UNC-Ashcville. The

With such talent at stake,
Williams is excited about the
upcoming spring.
"I really think we have a good
shot at winning the tournament"
Williams said. There are seven
events planned right now. and six of
these courses we player! on last

The one unfamiliar ground will
