Y2K team readies for millennium
End of summer tests
planned for campus
Lisa Stokes
news writkr
. East Carolina University has estab-
: lished a Y2K Response Team to
! recognize campus problems and
implement solutions associated
! with the upcoming millennium.
The team, led by Richard
Brown, vice chancellor for
Administration and Finance, meets
frequently to regulate Y2K devel-
opments and plan for possible cam-
pus problems.
Brown said in a press release that
campus officials are confident that
the computer hardware and soft-
ware at ECU are mainly Y2K com-
patible- or will be soon- but that dif-
ficulties associated with various
utilities, other vendors and suppli-
ers could set off cascading prob-
lems.
The worse case scenario could
result in failure of major utility sys-
tems that could leave the campus
without electricity, water, or phone
service for a period of time.
"While we will plan for such
occurrences, we do not expect that
will be necessary Brown said .
Don Dunlap, director of
Software Development Services,
said he is confident that ECU is in
good shape for the new year.
"There will be a number of peo-
ple working and we have a very lim-
ited holiday schedule. People will
be working on New Years's Eve and
New Year's Day Dunlap said.
Because Jan. 1, 2000, falls on a
Saturday and because the first day
of spring semester classes does not
begin until Jan. 10, officials will
have several days to recover from
the problems that may occur.
Dunlap said the Y2K team will
be conducting major tests between
the second summer session and
August.
"We will try to fool the comput-
ers by changing the date to see if
they will work said Dunlap. "Our
student system has been ready
since 1995. I think the university is
in really good shape. We have been
ahead of most universities since
the beginning
Other universities in North
Carolina are also hard at work on
the Y2K problem. UNC-Chapel
Hill has also created an Academic
and Technology Network team
dedicated to the Y2K problem.
They are assessing equipment and
departments within the academic
community, while raising aware-
ness of the problem.
Dunlap suggest that students
interested in checking the compat-
ibility of the personal computers

ECUPD offers crime prevention tips
Officers say being
aware most important

They are ready for you. But are you
ready for them?
Criminals are always ready to
pounce on unsuspecting victims,
according to Officer Kip Gaskins of
the Greenville Police Department.
He warned that anyone could be a
prime target for a crime, especially
if you are unaware and insecure.
"Criminals are
opportunists.They're going to take
the path of least resistance said
Gaskins.
The police department offers
crime prevention tips to reduce
your chances of becoming a victim.
"One of the most important
things is to stay alert when walk-
ing said Gaskins. Fie advises stu-
dents to use the buddy system.
"It's just like a sober driver. You
need a sober friend said Gaskins.
Officers also suggest that stu-
dents walk in well-lighted areas.
Do not take shortcuts through park-
ing lots and yards, but instead stay
in populated areas. Also, if you carry
a purse, hold it close to your body.
According to Gaskins, the strap may
be used as a tool for the perpetrator.
If it is around your neck and the
purse is jerked, you too will go
down.
Other tips include using auto-
mated teller machines in the day-

Ringold incident raises awareness
Problems exist after
Cotten Hall rape
Rachel Hia d o n
STAFF WRITER
o
ver a year has passed since a
student was raped on campus in
Cotten Hall. Another student was
sexually assaulted at knife-point in
Ringold Towers less than a month
ago. In the United States 1.3
women are raped every minute ?
that's 78 rapes each hour, 1872
rapes each day, 56160 rapes each
month and 638,380 rapes each year.
Statistics like these and the
shocking instance of such a brutal
crime occurring to ECU students
has some women saying that they
are becoming increasingly con-
cerned about safety issues on cam-
pus.
"I was surprised and shocked, I
felt like it could have happened to
me said Cotten Hall resident
Bridgette Flynn. "It made me a lot
more cautious
Although awareness was height-
ened after the incident, many say
feel that time has caused stu-
dents to fall back into care-
lessness. According to offi-
cials, unlocked doors and
unescorted guests pose the
greatest danger to residents.
"A lot of times in the
beginning everyone is con-
cerned, but in time that con-
cern dwindles said
Stephanie Anthony, Sgt. of
Crime Prevention with
ECUPD. "We still find resi-
dence hall doors propped
open and doors unlocked
Some students who live
in residence halls said they
think that access to resi-
dence halls should be more
of a concern
"It is so easy to get into
the halls said sophomore
Jennifer Zinn.
"People realize that it can
happen or that it could hap-
pen again said freshman
Ann Vogel
Officials on campus said
that incidents that involve
students always raise aware-
ness and incite many to take
extra precautions. However,
according to director of
Rape Statistics
- One out of every three American women will .
be sexually assaulted in her lifetime.
- One in seven women will be reped by her
husband.
- 6 percent of all reps cases are victims less
118 years c o between
One year after a rape occurred in Cotten Hall end weeks after an assault in Ringold Towers,
sexual assault remains a concern to many in the campus community.

way that students can really stay
protected is to show active concern
by participating in safety measures
like traveling in groups, making
sure that doors are closed and
locked, and refusing to let anyone
into residence halls who is not
escorted by a resident.
"Nothing has changed as far as
security in the residence halls said
Manny Amaro, director of housing.
According to Amaro, the locked
inner and outer doors have
cies that forbid visitors to walk
unescorted through the halls.

BLACE, Macedonia (AP) ? In
response to the burgeoning human-

they could return to homes in
Kosovo. Germany is ready to accept
40,000; the United States, 20,000;
and Turkey, 20,000, NATO said
Sunday. Macedonia, a former
Yugoslav republic, agreed to let
refugees pass over its border in
return for a promise that nearly all
would go elsewhere.

program in which two officers are
assigned to each dorm. The offi-
'cers give safety programs and free

ested.

NATO nations move to
relieve refugee pressure
BLACE, Macedonia (AP) - Living
amid squalor and sticky, knee-deep
mud, tens of thousands of refugees
in a miserable no-man's land along
the Macedonian border struggled
Sunday against hunger and freezing
nighttime temperatures.
Their desperate plight - and that
of tens of thousands of other
refugees flooding out of Kosovo - is
spurring NATO nations to offer
temporary refuge in order to take
the pressure off neighbors of the
southern Serbian province that are
overwhelmed by the refugee
influx.
Some of the worst of the suffer-
ing could be seen at a squalid
encampment on the Macedonia-
Yugoslav border. In only days, it has
become a refugee city, with wisps of
smoke wafting over a landscape of
shelters made of plastic or blankets.
With no latrines in the camp,
human feces were ground into the
mud underfoot. Some refugees
walked into a half-empty field near
a river, many washing themselves
in the freezing cold water.
"It is like nothing I have ever
experienced said one woman who
identified herself only as Lora, with
tears in her eyes.
After days of waiting, some aid
was arriving at the squalid camp.
Aid workers distributed heavy
boxes of cookies and canons of
juice. Blankets and plasdc sheeting
were also being supplied.
For some, the help was coming
too late. Julia Taft, U.S. assistant
secretary of state for refugees who
visited the camp on Sunday, said 11
elderly people had died there in the
past few days.
"It is very grim she said.
In response to the burgeoning
crisis, NATO nations prepared to
begin taking in the refugees, while
stressing it was only a temporary
measure. Germany is ready to
accept 40,000; the United States,
20,000; and Turkey, 20,000, NATO
spokesman Jamie Shea said in
Brussels, Belgium on Sunday.
"The NATO operation is a col-
lective one. Those who have partic-
ipated in it must also participate in
the responsibility said Turkish
Prime Minister Bulent Ecevit,
whose country announced plans to
set up a tent camp in northwestern
Turkey for refugees.
NATO is marshaling planes,
food, shelter, medical and other aid
for Macedonia and Albania, which
are dealing with an estimated
135,000 refugees and 190,000
refugees respectively. Montenegro,
the smallerofthe two republics that
make up Yugoslavia, has taken in
another 32,000 Kosovars who say
they are fleeing Serb atrocities.
Taft said she had received assur-
ances from President Kiro Gligorov
that Macedonia's border would
remain open to those fleeing
Kovoso, provided other nations
would take them in.
Fearing political instability as a
result of the influx, Macedonia said
it could allow no more than 20,000
refugees to remain. But it agreed
Sunday to allow arrivals to be fer-
ried from the muddy border field to
a tent city being set up by NATO
forces near its capital, Skopje.
At the edge of the encampment,
long lines of buses were taking
away an estimated 300 refugees an
hour, or about 5,000 a day, slowly
shrinking the encampment whose
size had swelled to 70,000 refugees.
A few were already being flown
out of Macedonia on the return legs
of arriving aid flights, and
Macedonia's deputy prime minis-
ter, Radmilla Kiprjanova, said
Sunday that larger-scale airlifts
using military transport would get
under way from the Skopje airport.

IF YOU THOUGHT COLLEGE WAS EXPENSIVE,
TRT PUTTING YOURSELF THROUGH RETIREMENT.
Think about supporting yourself
for twenty-five, thirty years or
longer in retirement. It might be the
greatest financial test you'll ever face.
Fortunately, you have two valuable
assets in your favor time and tax deferral.
The key is to begin saving now.
Delaying your decision for even a year or
two can have a big impact on the amount
of income you'll have when you retire.
What's the simplest way to get started?
Save in pretax dollars and make the most
of tax deferral. There's simply no more
painless or powerful way to build a
comfortable and secure tomorrow.
SRAs and IRAs makes it easy.
SRAs - tax-deferred annuities from
TIAA-CREF- and our range of IRAs
offer smart and easy ways to build the
extra income your pension and Social
Security benefits may not cover. They're
backed by the same exclusive investment
choices, low expenses, and personal
service that have made TIAA-CREF the
retirement plan of choice among America's
education and research communities.
Call 1 800 842-2776 and find out for
yourself how easy it is to put yourself
through retirement when you have time

ECU Pirate Football roar of the crowds, tailgating hours before hand, packed
stadium seating every game, fireworks filled pep rally at Mendenhall; ECU Pirate
Basketball crickets chirping. Do you see the problem here?
With this year's basketball season over, it's time for the Pirates to regroup and pre-
pare for next year with new coach, Bill Herrion.
Herrion's impeccable reputation as coach of the Drexel Dragons at Drexel
University in Philadelphia for eight seasons, ranking 15th among active coaches
makes him a useful asset to the Pirates. With his background and passion for the
game, we hope he can use the same magic he did with the Dragons and instill the
same passion within the players on our team.
What we're looking for here is something of the Domino effect.
By building the Pirates morale, this may improve their on court performance -
well, that's what we're hoping for.
And as shallow as it may sound, no one wants to back a mediocre team?school
spirit or no school spirit. As the Pirates improve and strive towards coming togeth-
er ?remember, there is no T in team? students may be more apt to coming out
and supporting them. Not to say that we don't support them now. But if Minges can
seat over 8,000 and approximately 3,500 students take the time to actually attend
half the game, we can definitely do better than this. If the team makes a conscien-
tious effort to improve their game, it's almost a given that students will go to the
games and cheer their Pirates on?everyone loves a winning team.
Although this is a tall order for one man to face, we believe that Herrion will be
able to fit the bill?that's why the sports department shells out the big bucks. Good
luck to you, Coach Herrion and welcome to Pirate Country!
OPINION
The New
York Times
The public has right to know
"When democracies send their
military forces into combat, citi-
zens need to know as much about
the battles as sensible security pre-
cautions permit. In the case of
Kosovo NATO and the
Pentagon must provide a detailed
account of the effectiveness of the
air war. It is a responsibility they
have so far largely failed to meet.
The decision to limit NATO
briefings to broad generalities
comes from Gen. Wesley Clark,
the American commander of
alliance forces in Europe.
Pentagon briefings have offered
more target and damage informa-
tion but have been frustratingly
short on important specifics. The
air offensive has not gone well in
the first 11 days, and the American
people should not be denied a full
account of the reasons, beyond the
foul weather that has limited
bombing runs.
In the weeks ahead. President
(Bill) Clinton may seek public sup-
port for escalating the air war, or
even introducing ground troops
into combat. It is essential that
citizens have all the information
they need to make informed judg-
ments as these matters arise.
OPINION
The Washington
Post
Tragedy takes shape in Kosovo
"IT WILL NO doubt take
some days, perhaps weeks, to mea-
sure the full impact of the new
surge in NATO bombing against
Serbian targets in Kosovo and in
Serbia proper. But it takes no
time at all to realize that a horren-
dous and somehow unanticipat-
ed human tragedy is taking shape
in Kosovo under the hammer of
ilobodan Milosevic's latest ethnic
cleansing program. Relief for the
refugees is proving complex both
administratively and politically.
Answers are urgent.
It is observed that the people of
Serbia are also under a grave threat
the
threat of allied bombing. But a
key distinction must be main-
tained. The
Serbian population, with which
NATO has no quarrel in any event,
is only the unintended and acci-
dental target of military action, and
a target the allies strain to avoid.
But the Kosovar population is the
intended and chosen target:
Their physical destruction and
removal from their homes and
from their own country are in fact
President Milosevic's principal war
aim. War aim and war crime.
Hundreds of thousands of
Kosovars already have been
uprooted

LETTER
to the Editor
Do not condemn because of beliefs
Usually I will politely say that
I do not believe in that and
walk off. I do not mind unless
the person says, "Do you know
if you are not saved or if you
don't believe in Jesus Christ
that you will"
In the March 30 issue of TEC, a
student wrote in protest of hearing
about alternative lifestyles. I was
rather angered by this article
because I feel that people often for-
get to look at both sides of the coin.
Often when I walk across campus I
will see religious communities
preaching their faith or certain
activities they are holding. I have
no problem with this, as these
groups are a part of our community.
However, sometimes I am stopped
and asked whether I want to join
and to help "save" others from sin.
Usually I will politely say that I do
not believe in that and walk off. I
do not mind unless that person
says, "Do you know if you are not
saved or you don't believe in Jesus
Christ that you will go to hell?"
Why do people start condemning
how I choose to live? They may not
like it but I am not asking them to
agree with me. I am just asking the
respect that this is what I believe
because I am an individual. When I
see such articles referring to various
groups I may not agree with what
they believe in. But this is our soci-
ety. In this country we have certain
rights, mainly the freedom of reli-
gion and speech. It is from these
articles that we are allowed to see
the many sides of our culture. If we
saw everything we wanted to see
when we opened the paper or
turned on the television, I don't
think we would be learning much. I
ask my fellow students to agree or
condemn the former article. Or to
agree or condemn this one. I ask
that when you read something
about another lifestyle or culture
you take the time and respect that
everyone is different even if you
don't agree with them. I ask you to
think that maybe when you see
something wrong with someone
else they may also feel there is
something just as wrong with you.
Our campus is made up of people
of all colors, races, religious back-
grounds and lifestyles. This is a part
of learning about the world. This is
what makes East Carolina
University an interesting place.

LETTER
to the Editor
Is the university stealing our money.?
Students, you have forgotten
that you have rights and you
have the right to voice what
you think. Ttme to stand up
and be counted when it comes
to this parking issue.
Dear Editor
So many issues, so little time.
About the cartoons with the gun
issue in mind Hey, why not draw
a canoon of dining services holding
up students for that $125 we must
pay in order to get a room on this
burg for the summer. Those people
are robbing us blind and they dont
even have guns. Let's hope they
never get guns. My question is???
What if I don't want to eat in the
dining hall? What happens to my
money if I do not eat $125 worth if
food? Does the money come back
to me? No it does not Hey, I
think those guys that caught poor
ole Steve speeding are related to
the dining hall services money
grabbers down this way
LAST AND MOST
IMPORTANT:
Would it not be nice to see Ms.
Teel set records at her home track?
Wouldn't be nice if you were a per-
son who put in long hours running
in the cold and heat, rain or shine to
have your photo in the paper? How
long would our baseball players
play ball if all their games were
away games? What is wrong with
track . . . Not enough money?
Could the attendance be any less
chart that of the basketball teams?
The 4x300 men's relay team might
have loved to be cheered on by
their home school and peers.
If they keep taking away the
parking, soon this will be a com-
muter college instead of a walking
college. Dorms will be located in
Vanceboro and Kinston. If you
think you run late now, just wait
until the purple and gold buses
from dowtown Vanceboro and
Kinston.
It is downright shameful. We
have no parking spaces, some
dorms look like something out of
the slums, students are held
hostage by the Dining Services,
and oh yes I know that if I don't
like it here, I should go somewhere
else. Then there's the great quote
"Well I have been to colleges that
are worse BEEP?wrong answer.
I do like it here, but there are
changes that need to be made.
Somewhere along the way, this col-
lege has forgotten who pays their
paychecks. I agree with the editori-
al on parking. Stop selling the $96,
oops, $120 stickers for next year for
parking if there are not enough
spaces. False advertising is what I
call it. If you pay for a service, and
you do not get that service, what do
you do?
If you have X number of stu-
dents, then you should give out X
number of parking stickers.
Number the spaces to go along with
the dorms. Let visitors hunt for a
space. We live here, we pay to
sleep, eat and park here. Oh, did I
leave out that we take classes here?
Well, two ouc of three ain't bad.
Still, we should have a place to park
our cars.
Students, you have forgotten
that you have rights and you have
the right to voice what you think.
Time to stand up and be counted
when it comes to this parking issue.
If you do not speak up and to the
right people, then when you are
wet, cold and late for class, you will
have no voice. Now I see that we
are walking on the grass. Well,
make up your mind. Most grass
paths are made by students dodg-
ing construction. Let's find out
what they do with the money. Let's
find out what they do with the fines
and tickets.
You have 120 reasons to com-
plain about this issue.
In conclusion, it is not hard to
understand why the track team
does not have a track. It is going to
be turned into a parking lot. Then
no one will be able to park there
because it will be turned into a con-
struction site. Then it will be
turned into some state-of-the-art
something that no one will visit.
Why, because they have to ride the
bus from Vanceboro and by the
time the bus reaches it. it will be
closed for repairs, (for example, the
3 million dollar wall of waste, oops,
water.

Students speak out
on downtown scene
Brooke Potts
staff writer
Hey, baby. Wanna get naked?"
Ladies, how many times have you
leard this line from some drunken,
lesperate, dork? And guys, do you
eally think someone is going to be
tupid enough to say yes?
Such is the story of Greenville
lighdife. We all go out, otherwise
why would we be in school at ECU?
But the question remains, why do
we go out?
"I go out to relieve stress and
;njoy the company of my friends
.aid senior Danielle Pschcrer.
For the most part, going out and
laving fun is a great way to relax
ifter a long week of classes. And
with the variety bars located in
Greenville, the nightlife here does-
l't often get old.
If you are headed out, there is
ots to choose from. Some places,
iuch as BW-3 and Chico's, offer a
nore relaxed atmosphere where
socializing and with old friends and
neeting new ones is possible. For
:hose who take their night life a lit-
Je more seriously, dance clubs such
is The Cellar and Parana Bob's give
:he Greenville players a chance to
trut their stuff. There are also sev-
:ral places to hear live music if the
Dar or club scenes aren't for you.
Another great thing about the
downtown scene is its proximity to
ampus. Students who live on cam-
jus don't usually have to worry
ibout driving downtown, and since
nost off campus students live near-
ay, many people who enjoy going
downtown can stumble home after-
wards and stay off the highways.
Since the downtown area is cen-
trally located, most of the students
frequent the same places, which
makes it a great way to socialize
with people you know. Chances
arc, you're going to know a few peo-
ple already when you go into a
place, which makes students feel
more at home at the night spots
they frequent. A consistent crowd
draws many people, students and
non-students alike.
Speaking of the crowd, it's pret-
ty much the same on any given
night. An informal (and anony-
mous) poll revealed the typical atti-
tudes that most people have about
the downtown crowd. For the most
part, the girls are described as
undepressed whores and the guys
as drunk, desperate, and looking for
the aforementioned women. (Of
course, not all people downtown are
like this, but if you are planning to
go downtown on a regular basis, it
will help you to fit in).
"Greenville caters to the
hoochie-mama slut-puppy, red
neck lovin' crowd said one anony-
mous senior. Ouch.
"I no longer do the
downtown scene
because all it is is a
bunch of alcoholics
looking for an excuse to
grope and grab one
another said junior
Jeannette Jackson.
When asked about what
students specifically
like to do downtown,
most will non-specifi-
cally answer, "To drink
and socialize
Translation: get drunk
and harass the opposite
sex. Of course, with the
variety of cheap drink
specials offered down-
town, it is an easy thing
to do. Most places outside of the
downtown area don't offer drinks as
cheaply as the bars and clubs down-
town, which encourages most peo-
ple who go out on a regular basis to
frequent the downtown area.
Although the Greenville

nightlife offers a lot of things to do,
there are some drawbacks. One of
the worst things about downtown
involves the problems of the city of
Greenville. There just isn't enough
close parking, so expect to walk at
least a block or more to get where
you're going. And also expect to be
watched closely by the Greenville
police if you are walking anywhere
down Fifth street. This is a problem
that people who go to bars outside
of downtown don't have to deal
with, and many students feel that it

is unfair that this area is targeted
more heavily by our local law

On the whole, most students
seem to either love or hate the
downtown area. Those who love it

hate do everything they can to

You look at the clock. It's 2 a.m. If
you could just go to sleep now, you
could get at least five good hours
before it's time for your eight
o'clock class, you wouldn't be tired
during the day and you'd also be
able to concentrate and stay awake
in math class.
Many students face this com-
mon disorder known as insomnia.
The National Heart, Lung and
Blood Institute, NHLBI, defines
insomnia as the perception or com-
plaint of inadequate or poor quality
sleep. According to the NHLBI,
insomnia is characterized by having
difficulty falling asleep, waking up
frequently during the night, wak-
ing up too early in the morning and
unrefreshing sleep.
Insomnia is classified into three
categories, according to severity.
The first, transient, which is short
term, lasts from a single night to a
few weeks. The second category,
which is intermittent, occurs when
there are frequent episodes of tran-
sient insomnia. The third, which is
chronic, and more serious, and
occurs on most night s and lasts for
a month or more.
Insomnia occurs most often in
people over 60, of the female gen-
der or with a history of depression.
Other conditions such as stress,
anxiety, a medical problem, or the
use of certain medications, are con-
tributing factors to the severity of
the disorder.
There are many things that
cause insomnia. Stress, environ-
mental noise, extreme tempefa-
tures, change in environment and
medicinal side effects are among
the components responsible for
this disorder. Chronic insomnia is
affected by a combination of these
Restless nights lead to exhaustion and lack of performance in the classroom.

factors. One of the most common
factors is depression, which is sta-
tistically high among teenagers.
Students usually come up with
their own anecdotes to aid them in
falling asleep. They are either
unaware that there is a problem, or
simply blame the difficulty on
stress and caffeine or alcohol.
"When I can't sleep at night, I
normally toss and turn for about
two hours said freshman, Mary
Beth Fleming. "Then I get fed up
and take Nyquil, and that puts me
to sleep
As opposed to drugs, some stu-
dents use more natural methods to
get themselves to sleep.
"When I have difficulty falling
asleep.I find it more relaxing to
have music playing said sopho-
more, Nick McLamb. "Another
alternative, which is popular among
my suite mates, is just to go four-
wheelin
"Usually, when I can't sleep I
break out my Algebra said
junior.Tricia Bell. "That usually
does the trick
Diagnosis of insomnia is very
difficult because of the lack of
knowledge about the disorder.
Lack of sleep can be caused mere-
ly by stress or by more serious dis-
orders such as sleep apnea, heart
failure, asthma, narcolepsy,
Parkinson's disease or hypothy-
roidism.
Treatment of insomnia is less
mandatory in transient and inter-
mittent insomnia because the
symptoms only last for a few days.
Treatment for chronic insomnia
consists of different therapy meth-
ods such as relaxation therapy,
sleep restriction and recondition-
ing.
Five greek organizations are planning a step show to bring awareness to violence, portions of the proceeds will

Fraternities, sororities join
together to step out violence
Portion of proceeds

SENIOR WRITER
If the only thoughts you have of
Greek organizations involve loud
music and parties, you had better
think again.
A group of fraternities and soror-
ities are joining together under the
organization of the National Pan-
Hellenic Council, to perform an
annual Greek stepshow. A portion
of the proceeds from this event will
go to New Directions, Pitt County
Family Violence Program, Inc.
"The stepshow is a traditional
program done on most campuses
said Chris Rey, president of the
National Pan-Hellenic Council.
"The dances and different moves
are styles that go back to Africa
The five Greek organizations
taking part in the performance are
three sororities, Alpha Kappa
Alpha, Zeta Phi Beta, Sigma
Gamma Rho, and two fraternities,
Kappa Alpha Psi and Phi Beta
Sigma.
Each organization is participat-
ing in the event in different ways.
"(Alpha Kappa Alpha will be
helping with the ushering and will
count votes. We may do some
floorstepping, but not for competi-
tion said Dushun Evans, presi-
dent.
"Ten of Phi Beta Sigma's
members will be participating.

petition will receive a grand prize.
Judges for the competition will be
members from three impartial
Greeks organizations.
After the performance, an after
party will take place at as yet deter-
mined place.
"Last year we had it at
Christenbury, but we're still
unsure where it will be this year

nitely be jammin wherever it is
Each year the National Pan-
Hellenic Council votes to have a
portion of the proceeds go to the
community. The rest is kept for
the Pan-Hellenic Council, which
organizes the Minority Ball on-
campus and provides many differ-
ent programs including social
events, comedy shows and panics.
This year, Toya Sanders, member
of Sigma Gamma Rho, convinced
the council to give ten percent of
the proceeds to New Directions.
"New Directions provides a
safehouse for battered women and
children Sanders said, who is also
the Community Education
Coordinator for the organization.
"One main purpose of this perfor-
mance is to show suppon for the
Greeks and New Directions
Sanders, along with volunteers,
will pass out purple ribbons at the
step show which symbolize the
need to stop domestic violence and
share information about the pro-
grams that they provide. The
money New directions receive will
help them provide 24-hour crisis
counseling, temporary housing,
clothing and food for in-house
women and children.
The stepshow will take place at
Wright Auditorium on Friday,
April 9 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $8
in advance for non-Greeks and $6
for Greeks. The Central Ticket
Office at Mendenhall Student
Center will be have advance tick-
ets available. The public is invited.

Pirates sweep William and Mary
ECU improves, 28-6
overall; 6-0 conference
Paul Kaplan
senior writer
The Pirates baseball team swept
William and Mary last weekend in a
three game Easter home confer-
ence special series.
It was the first time since 1989
that ECU had back to back sweeps
over conference teams as they
increased their record to 28-6 over-
all and 6-0 in the conference and
first place atop the CAA.
ECU took down William and
Mary 23-3 on Friday night in the
first of a three game series, and later
put away W&M 4-2 in game three
on Sunday. But the number 13
ended up being the lucky number
on Saturday night for the number
23 Pirate baseball team in game two
of the series.
It was in the bottom of the 13th
inning when Steve Salargo hit out
the game winning home run in dra-
matic style to end a not so dramatic
8-6 triumph overWilliam and Mary.
Nick Schnabel led off the inning
with a sensational infield hit, just
beating the throw from the W&M
short stop. Then with Schnabel on
First, Salargo decided that 13
innings on a Saturday night was a
little too long and sent his second
home run of the day just over the
deep center-field wall sending
everybody home and taking the
win.
"In all honesty, you never really
try to hit a ball out of the park. You
take a good swing, you hit it solid
and it just goes Salargo said.
"Honestly, I was trying to drive
the ball in the gap with a runner
onfirst and give him a chance to
score, he threw a fast ball up and
awayand he just gave it to me
In Saturday's game, ECU did
not score a run until the bottom of
the third inning when they found
themselves down 3-0. Then with
one out Salargo and John
Williamson knocked out back-to-
back home runs to shrink the
deficit down to 3-2. Then with two
men on base and only one out, Lee
Delfino hit into his first of two dou-
ble plays to end the rally just as it
Clayton sets records
4x200 places third
in Texas Relay

STAFF WRITER
Men's 4x200-meter finished third
and took fourth in the 4x400 in
Texas, as Michelle Clayton stole
first-place and set a new school
record in the weight throw at
Duke.
The Texas Relays, held on the
campus of the University of Texas,
housed some of the best track
teams in the country, including our
ECU men's track team.
"The Texas Relays is the most
prestigeous in the country
Bill Carson
men's head coach
"The Texas Relays is the most
prestigeous in the country said
Bill Carson, men's head coach. "To
finish third was good
This was not the only time that
ECU has placed third in the 4x200
at the Texas Relays. In fact this is
the third year in a row that they
have placed in third position.
It was the combination of James
Alexander, Darren Tuitt, Lawrence
Ward and Darrick Ingram that led
to this third place victorv with a fin-
ishing time of 1:23.90. Individual
times included 21.0, 20.7, 21.10,
and 20.4 respectively. The only two
teams that stood in their way of a
first place win was Arizona State
(1:22.20) and Southern (1:23.45).
"Bad batton handoffs is what
kept us out placing first said
Carson.
Bad handoffs or not, the men's
4x400 went on to place fourth and
recorded a time of 3:05.33. This
time is currently the fourth best
time in the country. Alexander,
Ingram, Damon Davis and Mike
Miller were the four who tallied
individual times of 46.6, 45.6, 46.4,
and 46.0 respectfully.
ECU women's track was also
representative in Texas as their
4x100 and 4x400-meter relay teams
finished fifth and ninth in their
heats, but failed to advance to the
championship round.
Success didn't just strike in
Texas but also here in North
Carolina. Michelle Clayton, senior
weight thrower, set three school
records at the General Motors-
Duke Invitational.
Out of 63 teams in the
Invitational, Clayton placed first
and set one school record with her
winning throw of 186-7. This throw
qualified her for the ECAC
Outdoor Championships on May
21-23 in Fairfax, Va.
Clayton then went on to set
record in the discus with a throw of
146 feet, 8 inches to place fifth and
break Darlene Vicks' previous
record and shot 47 feet, 34 inches
to break her last and final record of
th- Invitational.
"I knew she would do it eventu-
ally, I just didn't know that she
would do it this fast said Charles
Justice, women's head coach. "I
wasn't expecting her to do it all at
once
In the 800 meters, Fran Lattie
placed fourth, while teammate
Leana Anding placed eigth in the
triple jump.

was beginning.
The Pirates scored two more in
the fourth off an RBI single by
Schnabel and one more off a
dropped pop fly hit by Wlliamson.
ECU scored two more in the fifth
inning off of a two RBI single by
James Molinari. But not without
giving up two in the fifth and one in
the sixth inning to W&M.
"It was a long day. It shows a lot
of character of this team, to keep
battling and battling. We had so
many things go wrong for us and we
just kept battling and that's the sign
of a good team Schnabel said.
When it was all said and done
the Pirates took Saturday's game 8-
6 and Adam Reikowski got the win
on the mound for ECU and Justin
Wellen took the loss for William
and Mary.
"I think it was a true test of char-
acter. I thought we battled andhung
in there as a team when we could
have given up on several
occasions and I thought it was
tremendous win said Keith
LeClair, head coach. "I thought the
bullpen did an outstanding job and
kept us in the game long enough to
give us a chance to win the game in

ECU went on to win Sunday's
game in a regular old nine-inning
game as they beat W&M 4-2.
Brooks Jemigan took the win after
eight innings of pitching, giving up
six hits, four walks and with seven
strike outs.

MJ, just buy NBA Hornets
Jordan looks at
buying die Hornets
Stephen Schramm
SPORTS EDITOR
Recently, Michael Jordan has been
looking to add another title to his
basketball resume: One that
already includes six-time NBA
Champion, countless MVP awards,
NCAA Champion and of course
the title of Greatest to ever play the
game. Now, in retirement Jordan
wants to add NBA Owner to that
list. He has contacted the beloved
and underachieving Charlotte
Hornets about buying 50 percent of
the team.
I think the only drawback to his
plan is the fact that he only wants to
buy 50 percent and share owner-
ship of the team with the cheap
George Shinn. C'mon Mike just
one more percent wouldn't hurt.
Shinn's unwillingness to dish
out the eight figure salaries and
thus remain competitive in a
league where $100 million dollar
salaries are not uncommon shows
the average Hornets fan that the
ownership of their team is not com-
mitted to winning.
In the early nineties, the
Hornets looked to be the team of
the future. With a nucleus of
Alonzo Mourning and Larry
Johnson, the team appeared to be
on the road to becoming one of the
NBAs elite.
The Hornets re-signed the
injury-ridden Johnson to a deal that
effectively made keeping
Mourning financially impossible.
Mourning was dealt to Miami for
perennial All-Star Glenn Rice.
Johnson went to New York for
the much cheaper Anthony Mason.
Over the course of the decade, the
Hornets' roster became cheaper
and filled with more obscure play-
ers. Can you name the Hornets
starting point guard?
The Hornets are now a shell of
the team that was once considered
the heir apparent to Jordan's Bulls.
The Hornet's downfall came as
a result of Shinn's lack of financial
support. A top center like
Mourning automatically makes you
a contender. The departure of
Mourning took the Hornets from a
championship contender to an
afterthought.
Jordan's purchase of the Hornets
would breathe life into an organiza-
tion whose current status is that of
a has been in the Eastern
Conference. Jordan's acquisition
could make the Hornets an attrac-
tive option for free agents and
Jordan's money could make the
salaries offered to players on par
with the rest of the league.
In addition to the Jordan's
stature and money, Michael Jordan
is one of best basketball minds in
the game. However, it is unknown
whether his on-coun acumen will
extend to the front office.
The team is currently bound to
mediocrity brought on by poor per-
sonnel decisions. Jordan's input
would give the Charlotte front
office instant credibility and a
knowledge for the game that only
the greatest to ever play the game
could posses

Lindros recoves after lung injury
Injury accund after
beingcmss-checked
PHILADELPHIA (AP)Eric
Lindros's lung was expanding again
and most of the fluid has drained
from his chest cavity after doctors
began treating the Philadelphia
Flyers star for a collapsed right lung.
Doctors reported Saturday on
the condition of Lindros, 26, who
was apparently injured Thursday
after being cross-checked during
the Flyers' 2-1 victory at Nashville.
Television replays showed Lindros
falling on his stick in the first peri-
od.
Lindros, of Canada, spoke with
reporters in the dressing room for
several minutes after the victory
and did not appear to be in pain. He
awoke Friday morning with chest
pain and went to the hospital.
Nearly three quarts of bloody
fluid filled into the space where the
lung collapsed, and doctors at the
hospital drained the fluid with a
chest tube. Team physician Dr.
Gary Dorshimer said doctors insert-
ed a vacuum pump in the lung to
help re-expand 3it.
"Eric is a big piece of this team.
Somebody else has to pick it up and
step up center Marc Bureau said
after a 3-0 loss in Boston on
Saturday.
Lindros, who is being treated by
Predators team physician Dr.
Richard Garman, will stay in Baptist
Hospital in Nashville at least until
Tuesday to make sure the lung is
working properly. He will probably
be moved from intensive care to a
regular room on Sunday, Dorshimer
said.
Lindros was coming off a two-
game suspension when the injury
occurred.
He will probably miss the rest of
the regular season and his status for
the playoffs remains unclear.
The injury could not have come
at a worse time for the injury-
wracked Flyers, who have seen
their chances of going deep in the
playoffs diminished.
"Put it this way: We have a lot
bigger chance with him. Wc need
him back Flyers winger Mikael
Renberg said. "But whatever hap-
pens, if he can't come back, we got
to do it without him. It's going to be
tough, but we've got a good team
still
In addition to Lindros, the
Flyers played Saturday without sec-
ond leading-scorer John LcClair,
who has an injured back; right wing
Mark Recchi, who complained of
headaches and nausea; and top
defenseman Eric Dcsjardins, out
with a torn left anterior cruciate lig-
ament.
"It's tough for any team if you
take away the team's top scorers
said Flyers coach Roger Neilson.
On the bright side, Dorshimer
said Recchi was feeling much bet-
ter.
The team was initially con-
cerned that Recchi's condition
might be related to a March 22 con-
cussion that kept him out of the
lineup for three games.
But Dorshimer said the nausea
and headaches were probably
caused by a combination of insom-
nia, the stress of traveling, and lack
of conditioning from his time off.
Recchi, who told Dorshimer he
felt "back to normal will be evalu-
ated again Sunday.
Boozer announces
he will attend Duke
First choice to UCLA
and St. John's
AUBURN HILLS, Mich.
(AP)When you think of Alaskan
pipelines, you generally think of oil
being transported, not basketball
players.
But Duke University has found
a pretty nice lode of hoop talent in
the Great North.
Five days after Trajan Langdon
played his last game for the Blue
Devils, fellow Alaskan Carlos
Boozer, Jr. announced that he, too,
would attend Duke.
The 6-foot-9 forward from
Juneau had narrowed his choices to
Duke, UCLA and St. John's before
making his announcement at the
Magic Johnson RoundbaH Classic
Saturday at the Palace of Auburn
Hills.
"It's just a great situation for
me Boozer said. "To go in and
have a good time, play for a great
coach, to play for a team that has a
chance to win a national champi-
onship
Boozer averaged 30 points, 12
rebounds, two steals, three blocks
and three assists for Juneau-
Douglas High School.
Some of his accomplishments
include being named Alaska Player
of the Year, Gatorade Player of the
Year and Parade All-American.
Boozer led his team to back-to-
back state titles and was team MVP
three years in a row.
Baseball
continued from page 9
Carolina last Wednesday night.
The Pirates were out hit 11-8 in
the game and gave up two errors in
the loss.
"That Coastal game was kind of
a freak, one of those weird things.
We had a lot of anger built up
inside of us and we pulled every-
body together after that game to
play our best game against William
and Mary Friday night, Salargo
said. "They're a good ball club
and they're going to compete with
us. We just hung in there and bat-

happens, but we stayed in here

ATTORNEYS VI A
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP)The
emergence of several younger play-
ers has prompted the Carolina
Panthers to cut Mark Carrier, the
club's all-time receptions leader.
Carrier, 33, who caught 176 pass-
es for 2547 yards with Carolina but
had just 19 receptions for 301 yards
last year, was released Thursday by
new coach George Seifert.
"Mark's a player who has obvi-
ously meant a lot to the Carolina
Panthers during the team's first four
seasons Seifert said. "Mark will
always be held in high esteem by
everyone in the Panthers' organiza-
tion, but we feel that we have a
good group of young receivers who
need to develop
That group is headed by Muhsin
Muhammad, a second-round draft
pick in 19, and Rae Canuth, the
Panthers' top selection in the 1997
draft. Both have shown promise
when not sidelined by injuries.
The Panthers, who lost free-
agent wide receiver Raghib Ismail
to the Dallas Cowboys last week,
also are pleased with the progress of
two wideouts they drafted last year.
"Mark will always be held in
high esteem by everyone in die
Panthers' organization, but
we feel that we have a good
group of young receivers who
need to develop
George Seifert
Head Coach
Donald Hayes, a fourth-round
selection, and Jim Turner, a sev-
enth-round pick, both were side-
lined by injuries for extended peri-
ods in 1998 but looked solid when
healthy.
Also Thursday, the Panthers re-
signed unrestricted free-agent cor-
nerback Steve Lofton, who had
been claimed off waivers from New
England midway through the 1998
season and started seven games for
Carolina.
The Panthers also waived line-
backer Ray Farmer, who failed his
physical.

It it just a phase your child is going through? Or
is his life in danger?
The threat comes from inhalants, which are
ordinary household products that kids sniff to get
high.
Half of all 14-15 year olds have been offered
inhalants and almost one in five 8 graders has tried
them.
Few realize that just one sniff can cause death, or
that chronic users can suffer severe and permanent
brain damage.
The tell-tale signs of inhalant use include slurred
speech, glassy eyes and the smell of chemicals on
clothes.
Sniffers may also suffer nose bleeds, sores or rashes
around the nose and mouth, or a sudden lose of appetite.
Warn your kids before its too late, because we
don't recommend the other means of detection. It's
called an autopsy.
To learn more about inhalants, what they are and
where in your home they can be found, we urge you to
