Man chased, arrested after burglarizing Fletcher
May be linked to six
other break-ins
Kristy Daniel
staff writer
A 21-year-old Greenville resident
was arrested after he was chased
from Fletcher Hall across campus
into the Roly Poly sandwich shop.
Police are not sure if this is the
person who has been involved in
the many break-ins which have
occurred during the past few weeks
on campus involving residence hall
rooms which had been left
unlocked or unattended, six of
which took place in Aycock Hall.

Olympic historian Dr. John Lucas
comes to ECU to speak on the
Olympic movement, as well as his
own Olympic and coaching experi-
ences.
Lucas, a professor emeritus at
Penn State University, has had
plenty of experience with the
Olympic movement over the past
40 years from covering the games
from a coaches perspective, to

Games.
"Although I never actually com-
peted in the Games, I worked as a

specialist, journalist and official
historian Lucas said.
Lucas' lecture, entitled
"Pursuing an Olympic Ideal" will
cover a broad range of topics.
"Lucas will be speaking about
Olympic spirit, or the idea behind
the Olympics; the history of the
Games since the time of the
ancient Greeks; and some of the
problems facing the Olympics
today like bribery, commercialism
and drug use said Dr. Steve
Estes, chairman of the Department
of Exercise and Sports Science.

officers on a chase Thursday after
breaking into a Fletcher Residence
Hall room. The chase ended in the
shop when officers found him in
the women's bathroom after he had
broken the sink in his attempt to
escape through the restaurant's
suspended ceiling.
Willoughby was charged with
breaking and entering, larceny,
resisting arrest, trespassing and
possession of stolen goods. He was
placed under a $12,500 bond.
The only stolen was a pocket-
book which was recovered when
he threw it at one of the officers.
Willoughby apparently entered
the building by persuading some-
one to let him in the residence hall
through the front door, a violation
of the ECU housing policy.
The chase began after a resident
in Fletcher Hall noticed
Willoughby entering unlocked
rooms.
Susan Gregorovic, manager of
the Roly Poly, was in the restaurant
at the time and was surprised by
the events which occurred. Along

with the shattered sink, the suspect
also tried to exit out of a locked
glass door but ended up shattering
that also. Gregorovic upon realizing
the police were after him called
the police to the scene, while
Willoughby ran to the ladies
room.
"I yelled, 'he's in here
Gregorovic said.
Gregorovic later discovered
that Willoughby was also a sus-
pect in a robbery that had taken
place earlier that morning.
"I went to the magistrates
office and they said that he was
also a suspect in another robbery
that morning said Gregorvic.
Tom Younce, assistant director
of the ECU Police Department,
said that Willoughby will probably
have to pay for the damage which
he caused to the restaurant.
Officers arrested Willoughby,
who was taken into custody and
sentenced with a set bail of $12,500.

After Willoughby's arrest, locks
in Aycock Residence Hall were
changed as a possible way to deter
crime from happening in the resi-
dence halls.
Emanuele Amaro, director of
University Housing, said that the
break-ins at Aycock are still under
investigation.
Younce believes students play
key roles in preventing such crimes
from becoming more common-
place.

Housing Services updates facilities
On-campus laundry
to accept One Card
Kristy Daniel
staff writer
To better serve on-campus resi-
dents, Housing Services is renovat-
ing facilities, making laundry costs
inclusive and planning to offer a
substance free living environment.
Each yean, Housing Services
administers two surveys to on-cam-
pus students to determine what
kind of adjustments need to be
made. Such issues as renovations,
additions and laundry are addressed
in these surveys.
Housing Services and Facilities
Planning, Design, and Construction
have been making the necessary
renovations to classroom buildings
and residence halls.
Jarvis has been under construc-
tion since the summer of last year.
"Students felt like they were
being nick led and dimed when
it came to doing laundry
Manny Amaro
Director of University Housing Services.
The construction includes adding
an elevator, air conditioning and
more modem bathrooms.
Jarvis will be complete in 2000,
and then Jones will be closed for
construction. They will install a
new sprinkler system, elevator and
air conditioning.
Facilities are not the only
aspects of on-campus living receiv-
ing a facelift. Surveys revealed that
in addition to updating facilities.
Housing Services could also update
its customer services.
Housing along with Web
Services are offering new incen-
tives this year to on-campus resi-
dents. One is that cost of laundry
will be added in with housing costs.
In surveys, residents complained
about having to use quarters.
"Students felt like they were
being nickled and dimed when it
came to doing laundry said
Manny Amaro, director of
University Housing Services.
Students will have to do is insert
their One Card to wash their
clothes. Housing will be able to
track if off-campus students are
using the services.
In addition, if an on-campus stu-
dent is using their card more than
usual, they will be questioned.
"I think doing laundry this way
will be easy sophomore Jennifer
Scates said. "I often have a hard
time finding quarters. Although I
feel, if off-campus students use the
services, it won't be fair to those on
campus. It will take up the time of
people living in the dorm
Housing will also offer a sub-
stance free hall in Fletcher next
year as requested by incoming
freshman. This means there will be
no alcohol or tobacco allowed.

Unsolicited email is piling up in
student accounts.
Email is a tremendously power-
ful communications tool, used by
millions of people in thousands of
positive ways. Unforunatery, such a
powerful tool has the potential to
be used in other, less productive
ways.
Someone sending email incurs
no incremental costs; sending one
message costs about the same as
sending 100 messages. Some peo-
ple use this feature to send mes-
sages to thousands, even millions of
people at once.
Unfortunately, this leads to
spamming, the popular internet,
nickname for junk email.
Limited mailbox space is proba-

have a problem with spam email in
their campus accounts. If a sudent's

CIVIL RI6HTS
COMMISSION WILL NO
LONGER DISCUSS
CIVIL WAR COURSE
GREENSBORO (AP) A Civil
War course at Randolph
Community College is no longer on
the agenda of a public forum origi-
nally scheduled in response to that
course, civil-rights leaders say.
The forum has been pushed
back to late March or April and like-
ly will cover school redistricting,
police brutality, public housing and
.claims that a mall's anti-loitering
policy targeted black people.
"As far as the issue in Randolph,
that's dead and gone Wyatt Kirk,
chairman of the state advisory com-
mittee to the U.S. Commission on
Civil Rights, said last week.
Kirk said that the commission's
role is to investigate civil-rights
issues of broad public concern. As
time passes, he said, the college
course taught by the Southern her-
itage group Sons of Confederate
Veterans appears less and less sig-
nificant in terms of civil rights.
Kirk said Thursday that he could
not say what new information
changed the federal commission's
perception, only that he believed it
had overreacted.
POLITE BEHAVIOR
GETS ROBBERS
CAUGHT
BIRMINGHAM, Alabama (AP)
Two teen-age girls charged with
robbery were extraordinarily
polite, so polite they got caught
The girls walked into a shoe
store Thursday and asked
employee Sonya Graham for a pen
and paper. One wrote a note, then
handed it to the worker, saying,
"I'm sorry to do this. You're so
nice
The note said: "I have a gun in
my pants, give me all the money
"You came at a bad time the
worker said. "I have a customer to
wait on The would-be robbers
offered to wait, police said, so the
worker walked to the back of the
store and triggered the store's
silent alarm system. She then
went back to the counter and
stalled the suspects until police
arrived.

The Olympic Committee

Hussein
dies of
cancer
AMMAN, Jordan (AP) � King
Hussein of Jordan, who became a
key force for stability in the turbu-
lent Middle East in more than four
decades as ruler of his strategically
placed nation, died on Sunday fol-
lowing a battle with cancer. He
was 63.
Official Jordanian TV
announced the death, showing a
portrait of the king draped with
the nation's flag. In Amman,
mosque loudspeakers began
sounding verses from the Koran,
the Muslim holy book, in a sign of
mourning.
People scurried, sobbing,
through rain-soaked streets, and a
disraught crowd of hundreds gath-
ered at the hospital where Hussein
died. Elderly women wailed and
shook with grief, while men cried
into their red-and-white head
scarves, wrapped around their
faces in a traditional gesture of
mourning. Guards blocked their
way, but there was no confronta-
tion, for some guards were weep-
ing as well.
Elsewhere, people came
together in quiet mourning.
The king died just before noon
in his bed at the King Hussein
Medical City. Jordan's Cabinet
immediately met and proclaimed
Crown Prince Abdullah king, a
day after he was named regent.
The new king was sworn in
four hours later in a solemn cere-
mony at Parliament. Lawmakers
wore their red keffiyehs wrapped
around their faces.
"The kingship was transferred
constitutionally to Crown Prince
Abdullah in view of His Majesty
King Hussein's death said a
Cabinet statement read over state
TV.
Queen Noor and Hussein's
children were all with him when
he died, a senior palace source
said. The immediate cause of
death was heart failure brought on
by complications from cancer, the
official said.
The king had been on a respi-
rator, which was not switched off
until after his heart had stopped
and his brain function completely
ceased, a medical source said.
"This is God's judgment and
God's will the 37-ycar-old
Abdullah told the nation in a
solemn address less than an hour
after the death.

Chapel Hill to decide on
ending ban on Burma
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) �
This politically progressive town
will decide next week whether to
end its 2-year-old stand against the
government of Burma.
The Town Council will consider
a resolution Monday night to drop
Chapel Hill's prohibition against
using the services of those who do
business with the Southeast Asian
military dictatorship, also known as
Myanmar.
The debate comes two months
after a federal judge in
Massachusetts declared similar reg-
ulations in that state unconstitu-
tional. The judge said they infringe
on the U.S. government's power to
conduct foreign policy. A plaintiff
in that case, the National Foreign
Trade Council, has asked Chapel
Hill to rescind its Burma oolicv.
because of them.
Burma's government stands
accused of massive human rights
abuses, including torture, rape and
slavery. The country's military
holds power in defiance of a free
election in 1990.
Opposition leaders in Burma
have called for international sanc-
tions. Human rights activists have
persuaded 22 U.S. cities and coun-
ties, Chapel Hill and Carrboro
among them, to go along.
Carrboro has no plans to repeal
its Burmese ban, officials said. The
town joined an appeal Friday of the
Massachusetts decision in a friend-
of-the-court brief led by larger
cities.
"I think even though it makes
for good political jokes, this is real-
ly, really serious stuff Carrboro
Alderman Jacquelyn Gist said.
"From my point of view, it's big
business telling us who we have to
buy from. I resent that, and it's
scary
Some officials believe measures
like theirs and Carrboro's are large-
ly ineffective, merely creating
aggravation and more paperwork
rather than having an impact.
In Carrboro, the sanctions have
forced officials to swear off the use
of shipping services offered by
Federal Express and United Parcel
Services, said Katherine Duncan,
the town's purchasing officer. The
town also avoids using Kodak film.

Italian witnesses to
testify in court-martial
CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C (AP)
Twenty-two Italians who say they
saw a Marine Corps jet flying too
low and too fast over a village are
expected to be the first witnesses
in the court-martial of the jet's
pilot.
The Italians will be witnesses in
the court-martial of Capt. Richard
Ashby, charged in the deaths of the
20 people who died last February
with the jet snapped a gondola car
cable over the village of Cavalese.
In addition, at least 21 relatives
of victims are coming at United
States' government expense to
watch the trial. There are a few
seats in the small courtroom for
family members; a video feed with
translators has been set up in
another building on this sprawling
eastern North Carolina base.
Opening arguments will be pre-
sented to a jury of eight superior
officers chosen to hear the case
when court convenes at 8 a.m.
Monday.
"We will get to the end of this
trial without ambush, without jock-
eying for position said the judge,
Lt. Col. Robert Nunley. "We're
going to be fair
Ashby, 31, of Mission Viejo,
Calif, was at the controls of the
EA-6B Prowler jet on Feb. 3, 1998,
when its wing cut the cable sup-
porting the Mount Cermis gondola
in which 20 people were riding.
Ashby and his three-man crew
were based at a the Cherry Point
Marine Air Station and assigned to
the Aviano, Italy, air base for flights
over Bosnia.
The gondola crashed to the
ground and dismembered victims,
killing people from Italy, Poland,
Belgium, Germany, Austria and the
Netherlands.
A military investigation con-
cluded the deaths were the fault of
the crew's recklessly flying low and
fast in violation of flight rules. The
altitude restriction for the area was
at least 1,000 feet and the cable was
hit at 370 feet.
Defense attorneys say Ashby
didn't know the cable was strung
across the vallev until seconds
before hitting it. The gondola was
erected in 1966.
Defense lawyer Frank Spinner
said Ashby's map didn't have the
gondola on it and that he was ham-
pered by an optical illusion that
made him think he was higher than
he was. There also is a question
about whether the plane's radar
altimeter worked properly.
Last week. Spinner complained '
that the jury makeup wasn't fair to'
Ashby because it didn't have jet'
combat pilots on it. The jury panel i

does include three pilots with"
experience in larger jets and heli- '

"I have sincere questions now"
about whether Capt Ashby can get '
a fair trial, given the issues of this '
case Spinner said.
Ashby faces a maximum possi- -
ble sentence of more than 200
years in prison if convicted of 20 :�
counts of involuntary manslaughter �
as well as charges of destruction of
private and military property and
dereliction of duty.

faces the same charges as Ashby,
plus 20 counts of negligent homi-
cide. His trial is scheduled to begin
March 1.
Both also are charged with
obstruction of justice over a miss-
ing personal videotape shot during
the flight. j
The Prowler's two back seat;
crewmen were charged, but the
charges later were dismissed.

Even though February is Black History Month, most white students will only be exposed
to the snippets of black history information that R.A.s will post on the dorm bulletin boards or
an occasional speech on the lasting effects of Martin Luther King.
February will pass in a haze of parties, class work and extra-curricular activities, and white
students will miss their best chance to learn something about our nation's most influential
minority, as they have done every other year.
But we at TEC believe that this month is a great opportunity to do research on black histo-
ry. We take geniuses like Duke Ellington and George Washington Carver for granted every
day of the year, without stopping to ask why these people did what they did, and how their
social conditions helped to influence them. Don't let February go by without learning some-
thing about black history, even if you just skim a biography or chat about it with a professor.
The objective of this editorial is not to pound guilt into your brain for the suffering of
African-Americans throughout history, but to open your eyes to the value of the suffering, and

Immoral world needs guns
V they would think twice
if they knew that Granny had
a Beretta 9mm in her purse.
I like guns. I think they are cool.
They make a loud noise and put
holes in things. I get my testos-
terone fix each month by going to
my reservist drills and shooting
machine guns and cannons. And
though I'm having fun doing it, I
know there is a purpose to it. Let's
face it, people need guns.
I know many of you women,
and even some guys don't like
guns, and are even scared of them,
but having a gun is a critical part of
safety in our immoral society. The
problem with gun control is that
the only people who have guns are
criminals. Think about it. If you
pass a gun control law, the only
people who will follow it are the
good, law abiding citizens. And
now the criminals still have guns.
And they know all the law abiding
citizens with wives and children
have none.
Such is the case in cities like
Washington D.C. and New York.
Crime is rampant because people
are defenseless against their
assailants. Well, guess what. I bet
they would think twice if they
knew that granny had a Beretta
9mm in her purse. As a matter of
fact, in Florida, where they imple-
mented a more casual concealed
carry law, crime has dropped con-
siderably, especially violent crimes.
Granted, everybody shouldn't
have a gun. Alcoholics, stalkers,
felons and mentally unstable peo-
ple are among these. And I don't
really understand why anyone
would need a machine gun either.
There are good people like me
that may like to hunt or shoot at
paper targets. I personally would
never want to shoot anyone.But if
you try to rob me at gunpoint, or
break into my house, I will shoot
you and not think twice about it.
In an ideal world, there would
be no need for guns. But in an ideal
world, we could all sit at the beach
all day and drink margaritas and
play volleyball. But humanity is
imperfect, and we sometimes have
to expect the worst from people.
Hope for the best, prepare for the
worst.
LETTER
to the Editor
Find truth about on-campus parking
"Parking and Traffic enrages com-
muter (TEC 2499). What else.is
new? I read the preceding editorial
tide and thought to myself, "What
has Parking and Traffic Services
done now?" I was tempted not to
bother reading the editorial, bt I
was bored in ethics class so I read it
anyway. Seems to me, it is time for
students to find out what old tricks
Parking and Traffic is up to.
Brent W. Anderson, a senior
communications major, seems to
think that Parking and Traffic is
selling more parking decals than
the school has spaces. Well, my
soon-to-be-friend is right. I cannot
say what they have done this acad-
emic; year, but they have done this
in the past I am a resident and
refuse to purchase a parking decal
or even to park on campus. I sug-
gest that if at all possible, ride your
bike or take a bus to and from class-
es. From what I hear, it is much
more convenient. Why spend all
that hard-earned money on a park-
ing decal from the school where
you already spent countless hours
on tuition, housing or rent, food,
books and other necessities?
As pan of my freshman English
class last year, I found myself writ-
ing a paper titled "University
Liability Concerning Flooding in
ECU Parking Lots While the the-
sis of this paper obviously deals
with flooding, there are many facts
concerning the campus and parking
that many of you may want to know
about. I invite all of you to read this
paper, enlighten yourselves and
form your opinion of Parking and
Traffic. The URL for the paper is

Along with all the fun and excite-
ment college life may bring, there's
also the everyday stresses that can
bring students down. While some
take things in stride others may
have a difficult time dealing. Here
lit ECU, Mental Health Services
(Ml IS) is available to help any stu-
dent who may be suffering from a
psychological illness that impairs
their ability to accomplish daily
Ktivitics.
For over seven years, MHS has
been helping students deal with
Crises in their lives. By paying stu-
dent health fees at the beginning of
eiuh semester, there are no addi-
tional diarges to the services pro-
vided by MHS.

Most therapy sessions with staff
psychologists last 45 to 60 minutes
and the average length of treatment
is six to eight sessions.
Mental Health is also fully-
equipped with medication samples.
This helps the staff psychiatrists
determine which medications
would be the most effective to a
student before a prescription is
given.
"In cases where mental health
issues are limiting students' capaci-
ties to meet the demands of college
life, psychiatric medication pre-
scriptions are often very helpful
Federman said.
Any medication prescriptions
must be purchased by students
through retail pharmacies. In some
cases, financial assistance is given

A new wing will be added to the
Student Health Center next spring
which will enable MHS expand its
office space.
Located on the second floor of
the Student Health Center, MHS is
on call 365 days a year, and its oper-
ating hours are from 8 a.m. to 5
p.m Monday through Friday.
Students who wonder whether
or not they have a problem serious
enough to be seen by Mental
Health should call the office at 328-

prime career goals
Cruz opened art
gallery last summer
Erica Sixes
staff white
As graduation becomes more of a
reality to some of us, the dream of
acquiring all that we hope for once
we get out into the real world
becomes overwhelming. For
Derrick Cruz, however, a 1998
ECU alumnus, this has not been an
impossible feat
Cruz stumbled upon luck when
his former boss offered to sell him
some property to open his own art
gallery. This was one of Cruz's
goals he wanted to achieve upon
graduation. This past summer,
Cruz and his wife, Michele,
opened their gallery which is locat-
ed on Main Street in Tarboro, NC.
Tarboro and the surrounding
area is replete with talented artists
of all different disciplines who are
all hungering to have a forum to
sell and display their art Cruz
said. "Being central to the Rocky
Mount, Greenville, and Wilson
area, and close enough to the North
Carolina Coast, makes Tarboro an
ideal place to open this gallery.
The care that patrons of this town
have taken to keep the downtown
active, while preserving some if its
charm, makes Tarboro a pleasant
place to visit and work in
"It takes a tremendous amount
of work for both he and his wife to
accomplish so much said painting
and drawing professor Dr. Paul
Hartley, Cruz's adviser.
Cruz, a native of Caguas, Puerto
Rico, possesses genuine talent, cre-
ativity, artistic skills and a knowl-
edge of diverse cultures, making
him a true representative of his
Hispanic culture.
Cruz's senior show's theme
included the phrase, afioflao, which
he says means "spoiled brat" in
Spanish. Cruz and Mark Cooley,
who received his MFA in painting,
presented a joint senior show at the
Cruz Gallery last semester. Cruz's
artwork that was presented in
Cooley and Cruz's senior show is
presently on display and will
remain throughout the month of
February at the Rocky Mount
Playhouse.
"He's very thoughtful and com-
mitted as an artistCooley said.
"He is not only interested in get-
ting work that sells, but more inter-
ested in showing pieces with value.
He also doesn't use the gallery for
personal reasons, but instead uses
it to promote other artists
Cruz and Cooley's senior show
was marketed with the tide being

Math professor
participates in film
David Pravica uses
academic knowledge
Phillip Gilfus
staff writer
Imagine that you have been inex-
plicably transported to the inside of
a giant cube. There are different
rooms to explore, but people in
your group have been getting mys-
teriously killed. You need to find a
way to get out, and suddenly some-
one comes up with an answer
Math. This is the basis for the
movie "Cube whose screenwrit-
ers consulted ECU Math Professor
David Pravica.
� "Cube" was written i by
Vincenzo Netali and Andre Bijelic
of Ryerson College in Toronto.
These two film students knew
Pravica and decided to give him a
call when they began writing the
screenplay.
"There was a small question by
the authors about prime numbers
Pravica said. "After we discussed
some tricks and traps that they
could use in the film, I just got
more and more into it"
The movie's plot contains a
diverse group of characters moving
through "safe" and "trap" rooms.
The mathematician in the group
soon figures out that there are pat-
terns about which rooms are dan-
gerous and starts working on a
numerical formula in order for the
group to escape from the cube.
"The screenwriters wanted to
design a movie using one set said
Shaun Johnson, a member of the
ECU Films Committee. "They
also wanted the characters in the
movie to use a numerical sequence
in order for them to find out a way
from the cube
Pravica was the only expert con-
sulted for the mathematical con-
structs contained in the film.
Through a series of letters, e-mails
and faxes, the math professor tried
to described the formulas and con-
cepts that would be need in the
movie.
"I was more involved in the
beginning of the film Pravica
said.
He was able to see the full evo-
lution of the film. The early ver-
sions that he previewed contained
more math than the later and final
versions.
"I liked the earlier versions bet-
ter, scenes that they took out along
the way contained a lot of the math
parts Pravica said. "I also wasn't
happy with the music they chose, I
guess I just had a different vision of
the film
In order to show everything that
he intended for the film, and to
explain some parts that may have
ended up on the cutting room floor,
Pravica is setting up a special sec-
tion on his web page devoted to
"Cube He admits that it may
have been difficult for the screen-
writers to get the total picture of
what he was trying to explain to
them. To get the full mathematical
story, log on to his web page at
http:www.math.ecu.edu-pravi-
ca.
"Cube" is an art film, so the plot
can be used as a simile for our
everyday lives, but says Pravica, "I
wouldn't read too much into it
This film also portrays how impor-
tant everyone is a group can be.
"The formula in the film is so
difficult that the mathematician
can't figure it out In the end, the
idiot savant of the group finds the
solution Pravica said.
"Cube" was one of four films in
Toronto chosen by Norman
Jewison Producers, who have done
such films as "In the Heat of the
Night" and "Jesus Christ
Superstar Pravica wanted to bring
this psychological, math-suspense
film to ECU. He spoke with one of
the writers, Vincenzo, and tried to
work it out with the ECU Films
Committee, but time ran out.
However, Dale Jacobs, assistant
professor in the English
Department, brought a review of
the film to the Films Committee,
and the twelve-person body voted
to make it part of the Sundance
Cinema program. ECU students
will be able to see the film on Feb.
10 at Hendrix Theatre at 8 p.m.

symbolic to Cruz's life, as he has
had to cope with remaining a part of
his heritage as he takes on the typi-
cal American practices. This sym-
bol recurs in several of Cruz's paint-
ings and is incorporated with other
shapes or symbols that represent
other family members.
Cruz received his bachelor of
fine arts in painting. As a student at
ECU, he worked various jobs both
full and part-time and was able to
maintain an above average grade
point landing him on the Honor
Roll.

Hartley said.
According to Hartley, Derrick

jobs.
"He is a very admirable stu-

Cruz also revitalized ECU's
Painting Guild by becoming its
president. While in office, Cruz
organized the visit of Sidney
Goodman, a famous artist, to speak
to the art students and also led
other great projects and beneficial
programs for the art department.
In 1990, Derrick graduated from
Rocky Mount Senior High School.
Prior to graduating from high
school, Cruz made a name for him-

National Scholastic Gold Key Art

Wilson, NC.
Looking back, Cruz thinks o
what he could have done to
improve his direction toward his
goals.
"You should have a dear direc-

artwork means to you and what you
want to accomplish with it Cruas
said. "Try to be as prolific as possi-

9 Tuesday,
Smaller schools have
more attractive games
L

i
Eric Couch
senior writer
With the emergence of the 1999
ECU football schedule, questions
have risen about the integrity of the
men's basketball schedule.
Many basketball fans on campus
feel that ECU could have a better
non-conference schedule before
beginning their conference play.
ECU's schedule has been com-
pared with schedules from schools
such as UNC-Charlottc, UNC-
� Greensboro, and UNC-
Wilmington. All of these programs
� have marquee match-ups before
their conference games begin.
� ECU's basketball fans wonder why
: the Pirates never have a similar
attractive schedule.
UNC-G has had a very tough
schedule this year and they have
definitely played some attractive
names. Wake Forest, Tennessee
and top-ranked Duke were hosts to
UNC-G earlier this season. They
lost all three of these games by 30
points or more, but students still
had the opportunity to play some
big-name schools.
UNC-C had games against
Miami and Virginia Tech at home,
and even went to overtime against
the Tarheels on national television
in Chapel Hill. UNC-C has bene-
fited from being in Conference
USA, but they tuned up for that
conference by playing some tough
teams.
And as for our good pals down in
Wilmington, a school half the size
of ECU, they played the Bearcats
of Cincinnati on the road, and then
went on to play Princeton at home.
Students are asking, if this CAA
team can get well respected teams,
why can't we?
"It would be a nice change to
see some of those teams on our
non-conference schedule
Heather Smith said. "It would even
increase the seemingly nonchalant

attitude among many students
toward ECU's basketball games
For the last couple years, ECU
has faced off with Georgia, and this
year South Carolina was the
Pirates' most awaited non-confer-
ence games. These have been good
games for the Pirates but the fans
want more.
"I would
like to see us

at home
junior Laura
Barbour said.
"Georgia and
USC are good
teams, but
we played
them away. I
think that our
conference
and our pro-
gram are
strong and we
have a great atmosphere for college
basketball
Many students believe that our
atmosphere is good for great col-
lege basketball. They think it
would be even better if well-
respected teams came to
Greenville.

Alfred Hitchcock's movies cannot
be more exciting than the final
minute in ECU's nailbiter against
the Dukes.
JMU guard Eugene Atkinson
found teammate Chatney Howard
standing wide open on the left wing
with less than one second remaining
in last Wednesday's game. Howard's
ensuing jump shot found the bot-
tom of the net before the buzzer
sounded and the Pirates were left
with another loss in front of a crowd
of 4,458 at Minges Coliseum.
The Pirates led for most of the
second half, but shot very poorly
down the stretch. The Pirates were
one for eight from the floor and
three of seven from the foul line on
their last 15 possessions. The
Pirates, led by Evaldas Joeys' 16
points, did have a chance to win the
game, though. ECU point guard
Alico Dunk, who had eight assists,
tied up JMU's Jabari Outtz for a
defensive jump ball with 32.6 sec-
onds to play. Pirate coach Joe
Dooley had a plan.
"I told the guys to look for
Evaldas Joeys or David Taylor
with about 10 seconds left Dooley
said.
Taylor got the ball but was
blocked by JMU center Rob
Strickland with 4.5 seconds left on
the clock. The Dukes then drove
the length of the floor and found a
wide open Howard.
"I just kind of lollygagged down
the side and came open Howard
said.
Howard's buzzer beater sealed
the loss for the Pirates.
"On the final play, we had a
defensive lapse and Howard hit a
tough shot said Taylor, who
poured in 12 for the Pirates. "We've
had a lot of close games and we
need to find a way to pull them
out
The Pirates (11-10, 5-6 CAA)
have another tough game ahead of
them when they travel to
Richmond, VA on Wednesday to
face the Virginia Commonwealth
Rams. The Rams (11-13, 5-6 CAA)
are coming off a big win against
William and Mary.
"We have a lot of work to do for
next week's games. We don't want
to play like we did tonight Dooley
said.

Stephen Schramm
. SENIOR WRITER
jWhile the women's track team
,�tayedin Greenville over the week-
-end, the men's team competed in
, two invitationals to prepare for the
Virginia Tech meet.
. The ECU Men's Track Team
headed to Lincoln, Neb. this week-
end for the Frank Sevigne Husker
Invitational, where they were
t�cel by their talented 4x400
meter relay squad. The team of
James Alexander, Darrick Ingram,
Lawrence Ward and Damon Davis
.rocketed into the finals. In the
finals the Pirates finished second
behind the squad from Oklahoma.
; �fe got beat pretty substantial-
ly laid BUI Canon, head men's
track coach.
Individually, the Pirate 400
meter runners had mixed results.
.Davis went to the finals and fin-
ished fourth overall. Ingram cruised
to a win in his heat. However, his
time was not fast enough to give
him a trip to the finals.
"Ingrarn" didn't go out hard
enough Carson said. "He won his
heat by a good 20 meters, but its a
time thing and he didn't make it
"James (Alexander) saw what
happened to Ingram and he went
out real hard Carson said. "He
went out too hard and just died
In the 200-meter relay, ECU's
Darren Tuitt placed sixth in the
finals despite battling a cold.
"Tuitt ran well the first day
Carson said. "He had an awful cold.
In fact, we had to take him to the
emergency room in Wilson on the
way back. His throat closed up on
him
Despite his team's slight adver-
sity, Carson is still content with his
team's performance.
"I'm very pleased at this point in
the season Carson said. "We
made some mistakes. One went out
too fast and another went out too
easy. We're tired and we're not
training, but I'll tell you one thing.
We're fast and we're healthy
Other members of the team
went to the Millrose Games in New
I York City. The Pirates made their
first appearance at the Games and
did not disappoint. They won the
4x800 meter relay held at Madison
Square Garden.
Next week the Pirate men and
women travel to the Virginia Tech
Invitational. The Virginia Tech
Invitational provides a good shoot
for many ECU athletes to qualify.
"Everyone is trying to qualify
and break school records said
ECU's Rasheca Barrow.
The ECU women have not
competed since last weekend. The
team has been preparing for the
meet.
"It's one of the meets where
we're pretty rested and we've been
training for it said Charles Justice,
head women's track coach. "We're
looking to run our best times and
qualify for the Eastern
Championships(ECAC)
The men, too, are looking at the
Virginia Tech Invitational as a
chance to qualify. Britt Cox, who
was out for the weekend due to
injury, looks to qualify at the
Virginia Tech meet
"I'm running the 55 or the 60
and I should qualify for the IC4A's.
That would be straight Cox said.
Tennis season ready to
take off today
New players and coach
are onboard
Amber McAllay
staff writer
With a new head coach and new
players, ECU's tennis teams are
ready to start a new season.
The season starts today as both
teams take on UNC Asheville at 2
p.m.
"I hope for a good year. There is
continued improvement and we
are ready to play said Tom Morris,
head coach.
The teams have practiced a lot
throughout the pre-season. With
the completion of a new indoor
facility, the tennis teams are able to
practice independent of bad
weather conditions.
"We have been using the indoor
court when it rains said Catherine
Morgan, women's team captain.
"We have been doing a lot a things
together to get into good shape
The teams have also added a
few different ways to prepare
themselves for upcoming matches.
"We practice three hours a day
and work on conditioning said
Michael Huez, sophomore.
After a 10-10 record last year,
the teams are hoping for a better
year.
"We are hopeful and looking for
improvement Morris said. "The
players are very healthy after a few
nagging injuries. They are the
strongest ever. We are focused,
positive, and ready to play
With the loss of Mona Eek and
Anne Svae, Morgan is hopeful that
the new recruits will help fill that
void. The players are confident
toward their first match.
"We have two new recruits and
are strong throughout Morgan
said. �
As always, we expect to win
Huez shares Morgan's opti-
mistic outlook.
"Victory Huez said. "We are
facing a tough opponent, but we
should be able to beat them
Among the players to look for
are seniors Kenny Kerby (captain),
Roope Kalajo, Stephan
Siebenbrunner, Derek Slate and
newcomers Huez and Dustin Hall.
"We play good football teams,
why not good basketball teams?"
Donny Johnson said. "It would
only help us
As for future home games,
Hamrick says that we have West
Virginia and Wisconsin-Green Bay
on for the 1999-2000 schedule.

STAFF WRITER
This weekend proved to be a
heartbreaker for the women's bas-
ketball team as they traveled
through Virginia.
On Friday, the Pirates fell to
William & Mary 77-57 and then
finished the weekend with a 89-60
loss to Old Dominion on Sunday.
Looking for a second win
against the Tribe, center Beth
Jaynes felt optimistic going into the
weekend. Jaynes said that the team
was working on having a better atti-
tude and coming out strong early in
the game. The Pirates failed to do
so in the first half, trailing by 13
points. But, the Pirates were able
to close the gap as the teams went
into the next half still with Tribe
leading 32-26.
The second half was another
struggle for the Pirates as the Tribe
pushed on with three consecutive
baskets by Quintina Walker. In the
end, William & Mary topped off
ECU and improved to 11-10 overall
and 4-7 in the CAA.
ECU's Cecilia Shinn and
Waynetta Veney led the team with
12 points each. The Pirates fin-
ished with 19 of 24 at the free

throw line.
The team continued touring
Virginia to take on the 11th ranked
Monarchs of ODU. The Pirates
were looking to score their first vic-
tory against this CAA foe.
According to Jaynes, the team
was hoping to be a tougher com-
petitor for the Monarchs. However,
the Pirates were unsuccessful as
ODU came out strong in the first
half.
"We were really inconsistent
Jaynes said. "And we didn't follow
the coach's game plan
The Pirates might have secured
a win, but Jaynes said that they did-
n't mostly because of needing
improvement in "defense and
rebounding
When the teams broke for half-
time ODU had the lead, 43-24.
The Pirates were soil unable �
stop the Monarchs in the second
half as ODU's Lucienne Benhieu
scored eight points in just two min-
utes. Benhieu finished out the
game with 26 points over the
Pirates. ECU failed to make up
points and lost by 29.
This win marks 270th win for
coach Wendy Larry, making her the
most successful coach in ODU
women's basketball history.
The weekend losses put ECU
12-10 overall and 5-7 in the CAA,

and was named to the All-

Schmidt and Smith were par-
ticipants in ECU's football
camp during the summer.
Logan believes this camp is
becoming more important in
the recruiting process each year.
"I had 52 kids my first
year of camp and now we're up
to 400 Logan said. "We are
getting recruiting prospects and
I can't tell you how excited I
am"
Logan has relied on keeping
talented players from local high
schools close to home by
recruiting them to ECU. This
year's class is no different.
"These local guys are always
the fabric we start with Logan
said. "They have been good to
us and I know these kids will

Kicker Bryce Harrington is an
individual recruited from outside
North Carolina who will add
strength to the Pirate special teams.
Harrington attended high school in
Merrit Island, Fla and recorded a
career long field goal from 54 yards.
Harrington will probably be one of
the few players to see action next
season as a true freshman.
Including Wednesday's signing
period, the off season has been
extremely productive for ECU foot-
ball. Pirate fans can look forward to
some new faces on the field and a
competitive schedule this fall.
"Every football team very
quickly begins to take on a person
ality during the off season and this,
particular group of kids have been
refreshingly positive and upbeat
Logan said. "The kids are excited
about the schedule. They see it and
know they have to get ready
Ski safety disputed after judge decision
BRECKENRIDGE, Colo. (AP)
Serious ski injuries are on the
increase, and longtime skiers worry
that too many people are skiing and
snowboarding too fast. Critics say a
judge's recent ruling could set ski
safety on a slippery slope.
District Court Judge David Lass
ruled on Jan. 15 that a former Vail
Associates employee could not be
prpsecuted for reckless manslaugh-
ter for skiing too fast Lass said that
"skiing too fast for conditions or out
of control" docs not automatically
justify homicide charges in fatal
accidents.
One day after Lass issued the
ruling, a teen-age skier launched
off a jump here and struck and
killed a 60-year-old snowboarder.
The teen also died in the accident,
which a U.S. Forest Service official
blamed on excessive speed. Both
victims were highly regarded local
residents.
Skiing under control is the No. 1
item on the National Association of
Ski Areas' code for skiers and snow-
boarders. Now, some worry that
Lass' ruling has taken the fear of
prosecution away as a deterrent to
irresponsible skiers.
"It's liable to make it a lot more
dangerous said Ann Watson, 73,
of Snowmass Village. Three years
after her femur was smashed in a
collision with a skier who fled, Mrs.
Watson still hasn't recovered
enough to ski.
There were 26 fatalities last
year, the lowest level since the
1989-90 season.
Johns Hopkins researcher Dr.
Jeffery A. Hadley, in a recent study,
says there may be twice as many
injuries as reported because the Ski
Patrol sees less than half the vic-
tims. Many of the unreponed
injuries, however, are likely to be
minor.
Lass upheld a county court rul-
ing dismissing charges against
Nathan Hall in the Vail crash. He
"It's liable to make it a lot
more dangerous
Ann Watson
fteidem of Snowmass Village
said skiing recklessly isn't very like-
ly to cause fatal accidents. Other
factors, such as drug or alcohol use,
could be used as grounds for charg-
ing someone in a mountainside
crash, but simple speed is not
enough, he said.
Deputy District Attorney Rob
Wheeler said he is considering an
appeal.
"I think it is a dangerous prece-
dent said Jim Chalat, a Denver
lawyer who handles many lawsuits
against skiers and ski companies.
He noted California courts have
made it difficult to pursue civil
cases against reckless skiers and
snowboarders. The two states'
decisions "create an atmosphere in
which there is no personal responsi-
bility
Vail Municipal Judge Buck
Allen, who saw Hall frying down
the mountain before he crashed
into Alan Cobb of Denver, killing
him, said: "If the Skier Safety Act
doesn't cover this it'needs id be
rewritten
Allen recalls "watching him
(Hall) ski by I don't know if you
could call that skiing there is no
way he could have stopped. He
was bouncing off the moguls, sit-
ting way back on his skis
John Wilson, Rocky Mountain
regional director of the Ski Patrol,
declined to comment on the
judge's ruling. But he said even
helmets aren't enough to guarantee
safety.
"Things are pretty strange.
People are pretty strange. They are
so rude said Wilson, a 34-year-old
volunteer ski patrol veteran. Skiers
and snowboarders may soon be
wearing flak jackets and body
armor, he said.
