African-American experience improving on campus

the college experience, some "students
still overwhelmingly report that they're not
happy said Dennis Chestnut, profes-
sor of psychology at ECU.
Exactly what accounts for the
unhappiness is not completely under-
stood, but Chestnut says he labels it as
a "quality of life, quality of experience
issue at ECU
Chestnut said that often "the scope
of the academic setting within the
classroom doesn't address the African-
American experience but this is def-
initely changing.
For example, since 19 there has
been growing support in his depart-
ment for teaching classes against the
backdrop of the ethnic, cultural experi-
ence, Chestnut said.
ECU now has an African-American
studies program, and English professor
Reginald Watson teaches African-
American literature as a way to foster dis-
cussion among his students about race
issues. He noted that text written by black
abolitionist Frederick Douglas in the mid-
19th century still has ideas relevant to
today's young African-American students.
"In that process, (students) start to do
things, they start to get that dialogue going.
That really opens up the class to a lot of
productive discussion Watson said.
ECU has the third-highest percentage
of blacks among traditionally white schools
in the UNC system. There are at least 15
university-recognized organizations
geared toward black students.
So why do some black students feel
alienated on campus? Unfortunately,
Watson said, these groups suffer poor com-
munication among themselves and operate
"in isolation from one another Thus,
their power to help weave black students
into the university fabric becomes frac-
tured.
"In fact, most of your minority organiza-
tions will complain about lack of participa-
tion he said. Watson knows about this
firsthand. In 1993, he formed a theater
company called Thespians for Diversity,
an ensemble group that uses drama to

YinSiTfi:
Tuition hike, decrease
in funding proposed
Moi.i.v Harris
S T FI WRITER
Governor Jim Hunt submitted his
biennial 1999-2001 state budget
proposal to the North Carolina
General Assembly on Feb. IS.
I lowever, according to universi-
ty sources, the North Carolina
University system is less than
pleased with his recommendations.
Hunt's budget, which will be
revised and finalized by the
General Assembly, not only
includes a 2.5 percent tuition
increase for every university in the
UNC system, but fails to increase
funding for projects such as infor-
mation and technology additions,
distance education (remote site
classes) and libraries.
The budget is broken down into
two parts; the continuation budget
or the amount of money that was
allotted in 1998-1999, and the
expansion budget which is com-
posed of new dollar requests for
programs such as salary increases
for state employees and capital pro-
jects such as new buildings. The
UNC system requested $99.4 mil-
lion in new expansion budget fund-
ing. Hunt recommended $34.5 mil-
lion.
ECU's doctoral status was not
addressed in terms of expanded
funding, and also the $55 million
needed to complete the Science
and Technology building was not
recommended. Additionally,
Hunt's budget included a .5 per-
cent decrease in the UNC system's
budget which equates to a $750,000
cut for ECU.
"It's very difficult to accept bud-
get cuts in a period when the econ-
omy is thriving and the state's fiscal
situation is excellent said Richard
Brown, vice chancellor of

the North Carolina Legislature
approved the charter for the East
Carolina Teachers Training School,

Student Union brings
Cosmic guide with dog
Peter Dawvot
ASSISTAN I N'EWS EDITOR
In recent weeks, students and fac-
ulty members have discovered
new forms of spiritual guidance
through the help of a cosmic guide
known as Ann Shengold and her
dog Rudie.
The two have been working in a
joint effort with the North Carolina
Arts Foundation and the ECU
Student Union in an effort to give
students a new insight about the
events which surround them on a
daily basis.
Shengold incoqiorates a combi-
nation of spiritual guidance through
conversation, as well as Reiki,
which is an ancient Tibetan hands-
on art. It uses mental massages in
attempt to allow students a new
way to vent frustrations as well as
bridge gaps between missing auras.
This project, known as "Dreaming
of a Cosmic Catering Device has
(iened new perspectives for both
students and faculty.
Members within a Student
Union subcommittee were in
charge of helping initiate the drive
to bring Shengold to ECU. With
the help of the Student Union and
a grant from the N.C. Arts
Foundation, the two were able to
get Shengold and her pet on cam-
pus.
According to Shengold, she
received a grant from the North
Carolina Arts Council for around
$8,000 as well as other grants from
ECU.
Jeffrey Marshall, assistant direc-
tor of Student Activities, said that
there have been mixed reactions
concerning the presence of the cos-
mic lady on campus from students
and faculty.
"Student reaction has been pret-
ty positive Marshall said. "There

ulty members
Marshall said that this is
Shcngold's last week on campus
and that as many students as possi-
ble should take advantage of the
exhibit.

viewer to be a part of a 3-D world
by allowing them to participate.

STAFF WHITER
A black ECU student said he has
been rejected for service as an ori-
entation assistant, and the $1,200
paycheck, because he spoke out
about what he believes is a poor
environment for African Americans
at this university.
Na'im K. Akbar, a 51-year-old
student, commented about the
unsatisfactory atmosphere of blacks
at ECU and the lack of black facul-
ty. He used ECU's counseling cen-
ter as an example, saying ECU
employs counselors, none of which
are black.
Akbar feels that these people are
no doubt qualified.
"But, when you're talking about
18 or 19-year olds going away for
the first time, who might have been
sheltered, they might be more com-
fortable talking with someone they
can relate to culturally and racially
Akbar said.
He also pointed to what he calls
lack of sufficient African-American
representation on the student
union board, which schedules stu-
dent activities.
"I could not recommend ECU
to a young African-American stu-
dent Akbar was quoted as saying.
Akbar said he met with Beth
Anne Pretty, the associate dean of
student development who heads
up orientation, to discuss his appli-
cation to become an orientation
assistant this summer. Pretty told
him the application had been
denied, he said.
The Daily Reflector quoted
Akbar's opinion in the Feb. 11 issue
and he feels that the quotation in
" could not recommend ECU
to a young African-American
student"
Na'im K. Akbar,
51 -year-old siudent
the paper was the reason for his
application getting denied.
"I feel that it's because of my
quote in the paper Akbar said.
During his meeting with Pretty,
Akbar was asked if he had made the
remark attributed to him in the
newspaper.
Akbar said that he had, then
went on to explain why he made
the statement.
"I feel very bad that a person can
be rejected based on a personal
feeling they have.which they can
point to many examples of why that
feeling is valid Akbar said.
Neither Pretty nor her boss,
Chris Smith, dean of student devel-
opment, would comment on
Akbar's application, citing that state
law prohibits them from discussing
personnel matters.
Pretty said 30 students applied
for 20 slots as orientation assistants.

She said a selection committee ulti-
mately chooses the successful can-
didates after they have gone
through a series of four "event sce-
narios" and a 20-minute interview.
The event scenarios use role
playing to measure the applicants'
abilities in areas such as public
speaking and conflict management,
Pretty said.
Orientation assistants answer
questions and serve as campus
guides for prospective students
who visit ECU for two or three days
to find out about the university.
Orientation assistants receive
$1,200 pay, plus free lodging and
meals.
Pretty declined to say whether a
remark like the one Akbar would
affect an applicant's chance on
becoming an orientation assistant.
During orientation, if a black
student asked about the African-
American experience at ECU,
Akbar said he would encourage that
person's participation as a tonic to
any ills on campus.
"I would let them know that,
being on a majority (white) campus,
there are issues that black students
have, and in order to be abreast of
the issues. You have to become a
part of the East Carolina life to
effectively bring about change
Akbar said he practices what he
preaches, serving in several univer-
sity-recognized organizations such
as the Student Government
Association, Chancellor's
Leadership Program, and Allied
Blacks for Effective Leadership.

explore concerns facing minority
students. But he said fewer
students joined than expected.
"I hate to say it, but it's going
to take more effort from blacks to
integrate themselves into the col-
lege experience says senior
Richard Clark. "Just between the
activities at Mendenhall and the
new recreation center, a person of
any race can find similar interests.
Having minority organizations
are fine, but how many white peo-
ple are
actually going join a black orga-
nization?"
"Because, I know from experi-
ence that black people aren't nec-
essarily going to make a white
person feel comfortable when
they (blacks) are in the majority
he added.
Sometimes it takes someone to
step forward and make an exam-
ple of what can be done.
When Troy Yarborough, a
merchandising major, decided to
join Sigma Pi, he became one of
the first blacks to join a white
social fraternity.
"I really did it for the experi-
ence he said. "These guys came
to me and asked me to join, which
I thought was cool, because to
them, my race wasn't an issue
"I knew that other students
were going to have something to
say, and it came from blacks and
whites Yarborough added. "But
I think some people were just
jealous because they knew they
wouldn't do what I did
Keith Copeland, a junior
majoring in communications, also
says color had nothing to do with
joining Sigma Pi.
"Being in a white fraternity, I
actually have seen it (prejudice)
from both sides (black and white),
but the reason I joined in the first
place had to do with the guys who
I hung out with, not because they
were black, white or whatever,
but because they were my
friends Copeland said.
Chestnut, who as a student was
the first black elected to the
Student Government Association
Judiciary Board, commended
Chancellor Eakin and his admin-
istration for a "strong push toward
ethnic and cultural diversity
"I am loyal to ECU Chestnut
said. "I'm a pirate bom and bred,
and I'll be a pirate when I'm
dead
Yarborough thinks that it's
going to take effort by both blacks
and whites if we are ever going to
see full integration.
"ECU has done its part to give
all minorities a chance to fit in
Yarborough said. "We have more
opportunities than ever before to
interact with each other. For years
the black man has been crying for
the white man to give him a
chance. Now, we have that
chance. But it's going to take an
effort
from everyone
"The path for true equality,
albeit narrow and rocky, has been
forged,so I think we can either sit
on the sides of the path and talk
about what should be done,
watching and criticizing others, or
we can join the few actually doing
something to make the path easi-
er to walk on Yarborough said.

Rudolf Nureycv's life is what most college students dream life should be: lying on a moun-
tain of pillows, getting petted and taking naps all day.
Rudolf ('Rudie' for short) is a very "inactive" dog, who is currently taking his naps on the
second floor of the Mendenhall Student Center surrounded by pillows and incense.
'Rudie' is Ann Shengold's spiritual guide. He leads her to explore the beauty which some-
times stays undiscovered by human beings. Most importantly, 'Rudie' is part of Shengold's
current performance art piece, called "Dreaming of A Cosmic Catering Device which is The
Student Union's most recent contribution to broadening our horizons, releasing our chis and
mentally messaging our minds.
We recognize that performance art is often intangible and should be left to the audience and
the performer to determine its worth. Nevertheless, we are going to go out on a limb, risk
sounding like uncultured hicks and flat out say that Shengold comes across to most students
more as a flake who may be wanted in several states than an artist To be fair, our Features
Editor found her encounter with Shengold worth while as no doubt have some other students.
It's questionable enough that the Student Union chose to bring Shengold to campus, but
the job they did promoting her is even worse. Shengold complained to us that few people are
showing up to interact with her. You could follow the smell of incense up to the second floor
of Mendenhall, but how would you know that smell doesn't stem from the Spot's kitchen
where somebody just burnt a cheese steak? The Visual Arts Committee, who partly sponsored
Shengold's stay in Greenville, published a brochure and sent out email inviting "students and
members of the community to join Ann and 'Rudie' for "dreaming, questions, conversation,
silent sitting, laughing, tea, mediation, gentle dog petting, Reiki, manifestation exercises and
other forms of process-oriented work as they develop over the course of this public residen-
cy Are we still speaking English?
Nothing is wrong with spiritual arts in general, and Reiki in particular. We think that stu-
dents should be more aware of various types of New-Age thinking. Unfortunately, Shengold
just learned Reiki techniques last year and recently incorporated them into her repertoire.
Besides, how can you release the barriers in your chi with all the noise in the Student Union?
The next time the Student Union decides to bring something unusual to campus we hope
they do a better job promoting, explaining or in this case helping us prepare for "cosmic
dreaming because they really lost us this time.

Hacks-a-lot, the virus

You know, I was sitting in a
friend's room the other day play-
ing video games. I was struggling,
as I usually do, and in walks my
friend's little six-year-old brother.
The game was Goldeneye for the
Nintendo 64, and he asked if he
could play. When I said no, he
came back with "I just wanted to
show you what you were doing
wrong
This is coming from a boy who
routinely has to sit down to put
pants on, and even then he forgets
that the zipper goes in the front.
Sometimes, I admit, that one gets
me as well. My point is that kids
these days are continually getting
smarter and smarter in the ways of
technology, but their parents
aren't pushing them to learn com-
mon sense.
It's like that commercial with
the little eight-year-old that gets
the computer for Christmas. I had
to wait until I was 18 before I
could get one of those doohickies,
but my "kids are too spoiled these
days" column is forthcoming. It
just kills me to think that the kids
that don't have computers or
Nintendos or Ataris (you young-
sters probably don't remember
that one) have to play outside with
actual footballs. Imagine, if you
will, this scenario, complements of

Tmy Tim goes to his computer-

mom answers, our hero asks
politely if Lil' Huckelberry can
come out and play. Is this mother
going to reply withOh sure he

and if he doesn't feel better soon,
he may not finish that Y2K prob-

I believe we all know the
answer to that one. Another thing
that kills me is the fact that kids
are taking high school classes in
middle school. The school system
in Wake County (motto: Home of
Lizard Lick and, urn, oh yeah, the
state capital) started letting kids
take algebra in eighth grade at the
same time I was starting high
school. Now, I felt pretty stupid
having to take pre-algebra twice,
but when I was a sophomore tak-

incoming freshmen taking algebra

their own rulers.
I guess my main thing here is
the fact that, even though I'm get-

OPINION
"It's our duty to give
those New Year babies a
little elbow room
Citizen-Times, Asheville,
N.C.� An interesting conflu-
ence of news events happened
earlier this month.
The first involved a story
about couples who, through
monitoring menstrual cycles,
tracking basal body temperatures
and the like, will begin trying in
earnest to conceive in late March
or early April.
The goal: To have the first
baby bom on Jan. 1, 2000, the
famous first baby of the new mil-
lennium.
The second news story was
out of The Hague, Netherlands,
where some 140 non-govern-
mental organizations were meet-
ing to gauge the progress of pro-
grams designed to slow popula-
tion growth.
Almost lost in the flow of
earnest pronouncements was the
projection that, despite a dramat-
ic slowing of the fertility rate, the
world's population will hit 6 bil-
lion this year, probably in July.
That number has huge ramifica-
tions for those babies bom Jan. 1,
2000.
And for the rest of us.
Six billion is a difficult figure
for the mind to grasp here in the
age of trillion-dollar budges and
the like. Around the time of
Jesus' birth, the world population
was around 300 million about
28 million shy of the current pop-
ulation of the UnitedStates.
At the end of the first millen-
nium, 1,000 AD the world pop-
ulation was 345 million. By 1800,
it was 1 billion. 1900 saw 1.7 bil-
lion. 1950, 2.5 billion. And com-
ing soon, 6 billion.
To break the number down
further, planet Earth is adding 80
million new editions of homo
sapiens a year. Even 80 million is
still a hard number to wrap the
mind around. So try this: consid-
ering Asheville's population is
around 68,000, that 80 million
figure means the equivalent of
1,142 Ashevilles are being
dropped on the planet on an
annual basis.
Three a day.
By 2050, those children being
welcomed into the world New
Year's Day, 2000, will be living on
a planet with a population of 9.3
billion.
Of course, these numbers
seem at best a fuzzy mirage on a
distant horizon to those of us in
Western North Carolina, where
there is still elbow room to be
I
had.
So does the population boom
mean anything here? Of course it
does. It is manifesting itself in
various ways. You wouldn't have
land use or zoning questions if
people weren't beginning to
crowd each other.
You wouldn't have clogged
highways. You wouldn't be fret-
ting about water sources and
shortages.
And considering the fact that
the U.S. population is expected
to near 400 million by 2050,
fueled mostly by immigration,
you can expect to see more of the
same.
The question: What to do?
One simple tack would be to
support international family plan-
ning, an area in which the U.S.
has shirked its responsibility. At
the 1994 U.N. Population
Conference in Cairo, the U.S.
made a commitment to family
planning efforts. It has not ful-
filled it. U.S. funding for popula-
tion assistance has dropped from
$583 million in 1995 to $385 mil-
lion in 1999. Had we lived up to
the promises we made in Cairo,
the 1999 figure would be $1.9 bil-
lion.
It's our duty to give those
New Year babies a little elbow
room.
We should take that duty seri-
ously.

Performance piece of Campus kicks off Sexual

Shengold presents
work at Mendenhall
Nina M. Dry
FEATURES EDITOR
Art can be as simple as a painting or
can become a three dimensional
masterpiece. Ann Shengold, an
instillation artist, is visiting our
campus with her performance
piece, "Dreaming of a Cosmic
Device
Shengold wanted to invent and
realize in physical form a mobile art
piece and have it travel to different
places.
Dreaming of a Cosmic
Catering Device' is a work in
progress about process and transfor-
mation Shengold said. "I want to
develop a mobile unit that would
refresh your senses, enliven your
spirits and reinvigorate your sense
of wonder
Shengold said with this piece
she would like to blur definitions
and rub up against boundaries of
anitheater, the artist and the view-
er.
"In this piece, the viewer liter-
ally may enter the work, sitting on
the comfortable pillows, at the
desk, petting Rudie her dog or
receiving Reiki treatment from
me Shengold said.
Reiki is an ancient Tibetan
hands-on healing art that was lost
and rediscovered by Japanese
monk Mikao Usui. Shengold has
been practicing Reiki for about six
months.
"Reiki is somewhat similar to
healing touch Shengold said. "It
comes through you. The practition-
er serves as a vehicle to move the
universal energy through and mix it
with the person's life energy

Shengold and Rudie are located
at Mendenhall Student Center sec-
ond floor for the rest of this week.
On Sunday, there will be a ceremo-
nial close at 5:30 p.m. to conclude
this piece. Shengold is keeping
quiet as to what she has planned.

Each day people must acknowl-
edge the reality and severity of
rape.
Yesterday began what is known
as Sexual Assault Awareness Week.
Our campus is actively participating
by organizing many programs for
students.
"We want to create a campus
awareness in the issue of sexual
assault said Heather Zophy,
health educator at Student Health
Services.
According to a recent study, one
in four women who were surveyed
had been victims of rape or
attempted rape. 84 percent of those
women knew the attacker while 57
percent of those were date rapes.
A special presentation in
Hendrix Theater by Dr. Alan
Berkowitz began Sexual Assault
Awareness Week qn Monday at
7:(K) p.m. Dr. Berkowitz is a nation-
ally renowned speaker and scholar
who has served for The Centers for
Disease Control, The U.S.
Department of Education among
other organizations. His speech
focused on promoting consent and
preventing coercion in intimate
relationships.
The ECU Police Department is
also an avid supporter of Sexual
Assault Awareness Week.
"We are very supportive of all
the activities and will be helping
out in any way we can, such as traf-
fic control during the march said
Lt. LaFrancc Davis of the ECU
Police Department. "We will also
attend as many events as our sched-
ules will allow
Davis has been involved with
the Sexual Assault Awareness
Week programs for the past two
years. Last year, there were over
200 participants in the Take Back
the Night March.
"The Sexual Assault Awareness
Week committee would like to
exceed the amount of last year's
participants Lt. Davis said.
Many problems and concerns
involving the sexual assault issue
will be introduced during this
week. Ways to avoid certain situa-
tions will be covered in the various
activities and programs.
To reduce your risk of being
sexually assaulted, always give ver-
bal consent before engaging in sex.
Stay in public places where there
are a lot of people. If something is
too good to be true, then it probably
is.
"If you do become a victim of
sexual assault, you are encouraged
to contact the ECU Police
Department Lt. Davis said.
Laura Sweet, ECU's sexual
assault victim's advocate, is avail-
able to guide victims through legal,
medical and counseling processes
can be reached through the ECU
Police.
"I am available anytime to aid
any victim who has been sexually
assaulted Sweet said.
This week also has programs
specifically formed for men. On
Tuesday, there will be a discussion
exclusively for men led by licensed
psychologist Dr. Thomas Maple.
Everyone is encouraged to
attend as many events as possible
during this week.

SI AH WRITER
Hardly a day goes by that most
ECU students do not go online.
Whether they are checking their c-
mail or doing research, students
take full advantage of the many
computer services that the univer-
sity provides.
Since ECU was declared 25th
out of the KM) Most Wired College
Campuses by Yahoo Magazine,
computer services have been
placed in the spotlight. The most
important computer service has
become RezNet, which is a cooper-
ative function by University
Housing Services and Computing
and Information Systems (CIS).
RezNet is the process through
which students who live in resi-
dence halls connect their comput-
ers to the Internet.
"RezNet is entering its fourth
year and continuing to grow said
Aaron Lucier, assistant director of
Housing for Technology. "About
one fourth of all on-campus stu-
dents are currently connected
In Spring 1995, RezNet started
out with 50 users. The numbers
have gone up to 1,375. The
Ethernet card that is used to con-
nect a student's computer to the
world wide web is more efficient
than a regular modem. There are
no passwords or numbers to dial. In
many ways the Ethernet is actually
faster than a conventional modem.
Students who need an applica-
tion can fill one out online. It is
located on the University Housing
home page and leads the student
through a step-by-step process.
"We try to keep the information
up-to-date on the applications.
That's why it's kept online
Lucier said.
After students fill out an applica
tion, they must connect an
Ethernet card to their computer.
The ECU Student Store sells this
hardware along with other comput-
er stores in Greenville. Prices can
range from $23 to $123 depending
on the brand name of the card and
whether it will be installed or not.
Students who need help with the
installation process are encouraged
to call the Ethernet helpline at 328-
4133.
University Housing is currently-
connecting students to RezNet
once a week. This is the first year

New York FBI agent
attested for drunk driving
Man subdued
with pepper spray
LINDEN, N.J. (AP) - The head
of the FBI's New York criminal
division was arrested for drunken
driving and subdued with pepper
spray when he refused to get out of
his car, state police said.
� Victor Gonzalez, 48, of Old
Bridge, was driving north on the
New Jersey Turnpike to pick up
his daughter at Newark
International Airport at about 4
p.m. Monday when he was stopped
by police, State Police Lt. Dan
Cosgrove said.
A motorist had called on a cellu-
lar phone to say that a driver
appeared to be drunk and had
almost hit a wall on the side of the
highway, Cosgrove said. Troopers
soon saw the man driving erratically
in the turnpike's outer roadway,
activated their sirens and pulled
him over three miles later,
Cosgrove said.
Gonzalez refused to get out of
his car or identify himself, then
locked his hands around the steer-
ing wheel and wrapped his legs
under the car seat to make it harder
for officers to remove him, police
said. The troopers squirted
Gonzalez with pepper spray, then
three officers removed him from
the car.
Gonzalez appeared to be drunk
but refused to take a breath test,
police said. He was charged with
driving while intoxicated, obstruc-
tion of justice and failure to take an
alcohol test.
Gonzalez has worked for about a
year as special agent in charge of
the FBI's criminal division for New
York, FBI spokesman Joseph
Valiquette said Wednesday.
Valiquette refused to say how
long Gonzalez has worked for the
FBI or whether the bureau would
discipline him.
Woman's deceased father
saves her from near death
��
Out-of-control car
crashes througji door
KISSIMMEE, Fla. (AP) - A
woman's dead father is credited
with warning her to move from a
couch seconds before an out-of-
control car crashed through the
front door of her home, knocked
over the seat and demolished an
interior wall.
Maria Tejada was watching tele-
vision Wednesday when she
reportedly heard her father, who
died five years ago, tell her to
move.
"He told me to get up off the
couch said Ms. Tejada, 40. "I did-
n't listen the first two times he said
it, but the third time I got up and
went over to the love seat
Just then, a car with two teen-
agers on their way to school crashed
through the front door.
"If I didn't listen to my father,
I'd be dead Ms. Tejada said.
It apparently isn't the first time
that ghosts have shown up at the
house.
Inexplicable door slams, noises
in the attic, footsteps, shaking door-
knobs and a rumbling sound have
been reported.
Ms. Tejada said the house is
haunted by a man who hanged
himself from a big oak tree next to
the house about 20 years ago.
Others say they have heard the
man walking on the roof.
"I was in the house with Maria
before this, and we heard foot-
steps said
Carmen Pagan, her best friend.
"I think he was walking through
the house.Then the radio shut off
Even the accident had an ele-
ment of mystery. Driver Willie
Wells told authorities that his
brakes failed.
"I tried them right after the acci-
dent and they were fine said
Bethany Santiago, a Kissimmee
community services officer.
Wells, 17, was ticketed for
careless driving. He and his passen-
ger were not seriously injured.

Seahawfcs guards take over wn finale
HUP
Simmons & Donon
steal Dunk the show
Eric Couch
SENIOR WRITER
In Alico Dunk's last basketball game
at a sold out Minges Coliseum, the
UNCW guards stole the show by
completely dominating the entire
game.
CAA preseason player of the year
Stan Simmons led UNCW to a sti-
fling win over ECU by a score of 59-
45. Simmons led all scorers with 19
points and teammate Billy Donlon
chipped in his own 14 points.
Simmons and Donlon controlled this
game from start to finish and they
were not just doing it on offense.
With 7,311 attendees, the biggest
crowd of the season, the Pirates were
shut down on the offensive end as
the Seahawks defense held ECU to
26 percent shooting in the first half.
ECU did not even have 10 points on
the board until the 6:28 mark of the
first half.
"That's probably the best 40 min-
utes of defense we've played this
year said Jerry Wainwright, UNCW
head coach.
The shooting woes continued
throughout the night as ECU was off
and on for the rest of the game. The
one Pirate who was consistent was
Neil Punt, who had
his best game of the
season. Punt shot 7-
8 from the floor and
finished with 15
points. Even with
Punt shooting well,
the Pirates still
played cold.
"They came out
and beat us up
Punt said. "I

Pirates win two of three in home opener
Baseball struggles Sunday
after winning two Saturday
BLAINE DENIL'S
SENIOR WRITER
The diamond sparkled when ECU baseball
team picked up two wins from Radford over
the weekend.
The Pirates started the series strong on
Saturday, blasting the Highlanders 9-3 and 3-1
in a double-header before losing 11-7 on
Sunday.
Game one put ECU's strikeout leader
Brooks Jernigan on the mound against
Radford's Jamie Booth. Jernigan, who was
coming off a loss to the University of North
Carolina on Feb. 12, went 6.2 innings and
struck out three while bringing his record to 1-
1.
The Pirates jumped on the Highlanders
early in the bottom of the third to post a 2-0
lead. Everything was calm until the Pirates
caught fire in the seventh, scoring three runs on
a John Williamson double. ECU continued its
streak adding four more runs in the eighth and
never looked back. Junior infielder Nick
Schnabel provided the majority of ECU's
offense in game one. Schnabel went 3-3 with
two doubles and three runs scored.
Senior pitcher Travis Thompson continued
his winning ways in game two. Thompson
Pirate catcher Jason Howard feels that the Pirates underes-
timated Radford after their strong showing last week.

struck out three in 5.0 innings of play and has
not allowed a run so far this year. The Pirates
scored three runs in the second and held on as
Radford added one run in the ninth. Senior
right-hander Kevyn Fulcher pitched one inning
and picked up his first save of the year for the
Pirates.
"We came off a good weekend against the
ACC and we just wanted to build on that
Schnabel said. "We did some good things and
we did some bad things
Last week's "Collegiate Baseball" Player of
the Week Foye Minton was the starting pitcher
for the Pirates on Sunday. Minton, a sophomore
left-hander, struck out six and completed 5.0
innings in the Pirates 11-7 loss to the
Highlanders. The temperature dropped to
near freezing Sunday afternoon and the wind
chill had Pirate fans bundled up as they hoped
for a three game sweep of Radford. The
Highlanders' Mike Lombardi smacked a
homer off Minton in the third to stretch the
Radford lead to 5-0.
Minton settled down in the fourth and
saved a hit by fielding a line-drive heading
straight for his face to round out the inning.
Radford added four more runs in the ninth and
survived the final Pirate charge as ECU picked
up five runs in their last at-bat.
"I come out and try to play my best and that
usually takes care of itself Minton said. "I'm
not here for individual honors, but I'm here to
win for the team
The Pirates started off slow Sunday and just
didn't seem to warm up until the ninth inning.
Before Sunday's game the Pirates had not
scored in the ninth and fans looked worried as
ECU came up to bat for the final time. The
Pirates decided to change that statistic and put
on a hitting clinic in the ninth, bashing
Radford's relief pitcher Daryl DeSalvo and
scoring five.
"We waited too late and it's hard to beat a
team in the ninth inning Minton said. "I wish
I would have pitched a little better
After pounding the ACC in two of three
meetings at the Winn-Dixie Shootout
Tournament Feb. 12-14, some ECU players
believe that the team might have underestimat-
ed this Radford squad.
"We hoped to sweep them and we feel a lit-
tle let down after today said Jason Howard,
senior catcher for the Pirates. "After we played
the ACC, we kind of overlooked Radford. We
didn't look ready today
The Pirates will have the chance to battle
the ACC once again as they face the Demon
Deacons of Wake Forest on Feb. 24.

Variety of intramural sports offered at SRC
Student officials
share passion for game
Jean Wharton
staff writer
Another semester of intramural sports has start-
ed, bringing competition and fun to ECU stu-
dents.
Intramurals offer students a chance to play in
a variety of sports at varying skill levels. Indoor
soccer, four-on-four flag football, foosball and
Softball are among the sports played this semes-
ter.
Students interested in playing on a team can
sign up in a number of ways. Students may cre-
ate a new team. Also, independent players can
be placed on teams that do not have a full ros-
ter. Each team must have a captain who will be
responsible for going to the registration meet-
ings and providing the team with information.
Registration meetings also discuss the rules and
regulations for each sport. As soon as the teams
complete all registration information they are
ready to start playing.
"Intramurals offer a release from daily grid of
classes said David Gaskins, assistant director
of Student Recreation Services. Gaskins coordi-
nates intramural sports at ECU.
"(Intramurals are great for relaxation
Gaskins said.
Senior Kelly Wehmann has played on the
same team in a number of sports throughout her
four years at ECU.
"Having played on the same team for so
long, it's all about fun for me Wehmann said.
"I don't let the outcome of the game affect my
attitude toward other players
Intramural games are officiated by student
officials. The Sports Officials Development
Program employs students who have finished a
training program to officiate intramural sports.
"I have always had an interest in sports and I
wanted to do something more said senior
fCNen Day, who officiates basketball and soft-
ball.
Officiating has given Day a new perspective
on playing sports, and a better attitude to the
officials during the game she plays in.
"When I am a player I know what it is like to
be an official and I try to encourage my team-
mates to have respect Day said.
Day said that being a female official in a
majority of male games is sometime difficult.
She has been forced to make tough calls, but
says that when she is confident in her call, play-
ers understand.
"Officiating has been a good way to earn the
respect of fellow students Day said.
Intramurals offer challenging and fun experi-
ences for students.
"A lot of students don't realize all of what
we've got Gaskins said.
Upcoming sports include a foosball tourna-
ment on March 3. The registration deadline is
March 2. Additionally, a 4-on-4 flag football reg-
istration meeting is on April 6.
Teams or individuals interested in intramur-
al sports are encouraged to stop by 128 SRC or
call at 328-6387.
Men and women
both roll to 4-0
Morgan Heener
staff writer
Both ECU tennis teams continued
their impressive winning streaks
this weekend.
The Pirates' male and female
tennis teams both won two matches
on Saturday to improve their
records to 4-0 overall.
"Both teams played really well

men's and women's head coach.

some areas and we are looking for-

did not drop a game in singles or
doubles, blanking Andy Clapp 6-0
6-0 and then won his doubles match
with Stephan Siebenbrunner 8-0.
According to Siebenbrunner,
who is one of the four seniors on the
Pirate roster, team spirit makes the
difference this year.
"Especially in college sports,
every single player is important to
form a team. And that's how we
played today, as a team
Siebenbrunner said.
Senior Derek Slate agrees by
saying that the team was very con-
sistent in its performance as a single
unit.
"We came out with a strong per-
formance and we were very
focused Slate said.
Kenny Kirby also won two morn-
ing matches, one of them teaming
with Slate.
"I was definitely hitting my fore-
hand well. I kept the ball deep con-
sistently and played within myself
Kirby said.

tage playing the relatively easy

"Playing in the morning helped
us with the weather aspect of the
match. It was a little windy and
cooler in the morning Kirby said.
Slate and Kirby lost the only
doubles match against Campbell,
falling 8-5 to the team of Mardbrink
and Bucko at No. 1 doubles.
"We missed a few big conver-
sions in the match that could have
changed things for us Slate said.
But Kirby was still optimistic
about the rest of the season.
"Campbell played well. We'vt
got to come out pumped up for
every match and focus on every
point he said.
Senior Roope Kalajo, a native of
Finland at ECU's No. 1 position,
had the toughest game of the day
when he was facing Andreas
Mardbrink, a 6' 5" tall Swedish
native, representing Campbell.
'Their No. 1 player Mardbrink
was undefeated so far this season.
He defeated Carolina's No. 1
Morris said.
The Scandinavian match looked
to be an easy one for ECU's Kalajo
when he outplayed Mardbrink 6-1
in the first set. After losing the sec-
ond set 7-5, however, Kalajo had to
go into tie break in the third where
he defeated his opponent by 7-6 in
a dogfight.
"I think Roope Kalajo had his
best match in a long time today
Siebenbrunner said. 'This guy was
tough, but Roope played terrific -

The Pirates finished the game
shooting 35 percent from the floor
and 32 percent from behind the
three point arc. Garrett
Blackwelder, who had been aver-
aging over 14 points per game, was
held to 1 of 7 from the floor and
only three points.
In his last game at Minges,
senior guard Alico Dunk was held
to five points and one assist.
"It was a tough loss and we
came out flat Dunk said. "I don't
know why we came out flat, we
just didn't show up to play tonight.
We've got to give their defense
credit, they were in our face all
night
Even the Pirates leading scorer
Evaldas Joeys could not find a way
to bring the Pirates back from as
much as 16 points in the second
half. Joeys finished the night with
16 points and seven rebounds.
"Their defense was a factor and
we played tight all night said Joe
Dooley, Pirate head coach.
"Donlon and Simmons dominated
the game from beginning to end
The Pirates will have to
improve from this game for the
upcoming tournament. The CAA
tournament tips off for No. 7 seed
ECU on Friday in Richmond, Va
at 6 p.m. The Pirates will go into
the tournament with a 13-13 record
overall and 7-9 in CAA games.
Their opponent in the first round
game is No. 2 seed Old Dominion
University. The Pirates have a tied
record with ODU after losing at
home 54-51 on Jan. 13, but then
defeating the Monarchs in their
most recent meet by a score of 67-

Va. on Feb. 1.

said.
The Pirates' next home match
will be against CAA conference
opponent Richmond on Tuesday,
March 2, at 2:30 p.m. after playing
Coastal Carolina on the weekend.
Along with the men's team, the
Lady Pirates were victorious as
well this weekend. The women's
team did not drop a match to Mt.
Olive and won their afternoon
match against Campbell 7-2 by a
strong performance in the doubles
and the bottom four singles compe-
titions.
At number one singles, Hrusida
Kamthe showed that her freshman
nervousness is wearing off as she
was dropping only two games in
her morning match.
Carolina Torres, Asa Ellbring,
Meredith Spears, and Catherine
Morgan coasted wins over their
opponents, flexing their tennis
muscle.
The women continued to show
their strength in doubles this year
by taking all of the matches against
the outmatched Campbell doubles
teams. The team of Ellbring and
Kamthe struggled to a 9-8 win at
No. 1.
"They KamtheEllbring
