Campus race initiative continues
Graduate student
submits proposal
Cloudy with a high of 69

Angela Harne
STAFF WRITER
Students Na'im Akbar and
Adrian Cox proposed a set of forums
to Chancellor Richard Eakin this
April in hopes of hav-
ing diversity grow.
This proposal was the
result of comments
made last year by
Board of Trustees
member Walter Will-
iams that were consid-
ered racist.
Since the com-
ment, several students
have rallied together
and discussed with
Chancellor Eakin how
to bring diversity to campus.
Akbar and Cox suggested that
the chancellor institute programs
that deal with cultural sensitivity.
In response, Eakin asked the stu-
dents to create the programs, and
Akbar proposed several forums.
These forums will begin Oct. 27
and continue until April. They will
be held at Mendenhall Student Cen-
ter (MSC) in Room 244 at 7 p.m.
A series of multicultural events
will be held in conjunction with the
forums which are intended to cel-
ebrate the richness of ECU'S diverse
population.
This semester ECU has already
sponsored two events. Earlier this
month, Dr. Christopher Edley, se-
nior advisor to President Clinton,
came to Hendrix Theater to discuss
affirmative action. This past week-
end, the Ledonia Wright Culture
Center and Joyner Library spon-
sored a slave narrative.
Now the third event promoting
diversity on campus is underway. As
the year long activities continue,
Chancellor Eakin hopes family ties

According to sophomore
Shamika Spencer, the Holiday Cel-
ebration scheduled for Dec. 8 will
celebrate all cultures on campus and
the Circle of Diversity scheduled for
Jan. 19 plans on having representa-
tion from all cultures and beliefs on
campus. Students and staff will then
form a circle around MSC.
"We want everyone to feel like
they have a voice on campus
Spencer said. "We want everyone to
learn something from one another
The proposal committee consists
of nine students; Na'im Akbar,
Layota Davis, Dushun Evans, Jason
Evans, Elenah Godbolt, Shamika
Spencer, Roderick Stevenson,
Patrick Suarez and Yolanda Thlgpen.
Students on the proposal com-
mittee shared their thoughts on the
forums.
"On a personal level, I'm more
aware of promoting the goodness
between students Akbar said. "I
feel that it is my responsibility to
reach out to those different from
myself. Hopefully it
will become conta-
gious and all stu-
dents will be able to
build on each other
"I feel that the
forums will not only
be beneficial to Afri-
can-American stu-
dents, but to stu-
dents as a whole
Spencer said. "They
will show how di-
verse we are and help
us understand each other to better
our campus and get along
"I hope to see more minority
groups on campus so we can gain
knowledge and information from
one another said sophomore
Patrick Suarez.
According to Akbar, students
need to recognize the challenges
that colleges face with diversity.
"I hope that the forums will cre-
ate discussions between the ECU
population so we can make the step-
ping stones harmony Akbar said.

Community leaders discuss Floyd aftermath
Plans made
to help victims
Angela Harne
STAFF WRITER
The United Way of America and
about 30 local community leaders
met earlier this month to discuss the
state of our flood-stricken area.
The meeting to place on Oct. 8
at the Wachovia Bank on Red Banks
Road to discuss their thoughts and
ideas of how to meet the needs of
the area in the wake of Hurricane
Floyd and the subsequent flooding.
Betty Beene, president and CEO
of the United Way, presided over the
question and answer meeting.
"We need words of inspiration
said Dr. Rick Croskey, president of
the local board of United Way. "We
need to understand the needs of the
community and we need to gain
knowledge and ideas from those
who have gone through the same
devastation
The main concerns of the com-
munity leaders during the meeting
were homeless families. Many are
still in local shelters run by the Red
Cross, which will stay open until all
the families have other means of
shelter.
Other Pitt County families have
been forced to live in hotels or
FEMA trailers. The trailers are avail-
able to families for 18 months, rent
free. However, there are not enough
of these temporary housing units
for the area. Officials stated that the
temporary housing units are guar-
anteed to those who need them, but
it will take time.
Many present during the meet-
ing expressed their concerns about
what will happen to the flood-
stricken families when their money
and vouchers dwindle, and hotels
will no longer house them.
"The unknown scares us said
one attendee. "What should we ex-
pect as we continue through'the
rebuilding?"
"There are several things to ex-
pect Beene said.
"For one, people might start
fighting they will begin to get
frustrated because they won't un-
derstand why it's taking so long to
get things back together. Two is the
flood plain issue. Even though
someone's house wasn't affected by
the flood, it may be in a flood area,
therefore they have to get out. Third
is mental health and stress related
issues with parents, children, em-
ployers, etc
Many suggestions were made at
the meeting, and it was concluded
that a partnership, in which non-
affected families could house dev-
astated families, would be adopted.
Despite the grim mood during
the meeting, Beene tried to speak
encouraging words.
"With a natural disaster, the
community really begins to mean
something that it never did before
she said.
"I wanted to see firsthand the
problems and needs of the victims
many are hopeful, others are
weary, but there is a light at the end
of the tunnel and United Way is
here to help
There were approximately 1,(XX)
volunteers from United Way work-
ing in the community for 16-18
hour days. Eight more groups came
earlier this month to continue the
relief effort. Volunteers have been
sleeping in local office buildings and
are showering at the Greenville Rec-
reational Center.

NCSU collects
donations for flood
relief at ECU
Contributions total more $7,000

STAFF WRITER
While ECU tried to rebuild the community,
NCSU offered a helping hand.
State students organized the 35,000 Challenge
Fund raiser, a week-long event, running from
Sept. 28-Oct.l, to offer ECU students some relief.
NCSU students raised $7,000 and collected
more than 20,000 items including clothes, blan-
kets and canned" food� - �
On Oct. 1, students hosted a campus collec-
tion party where students could drop off remain-
ing donations. Committees were created that
sought donations from the residence halls, and
various NCSU fraternities and sororities visited
local apartment complexes for contributions.
Students felt the fund raiser was a huge suc-
cess.
"Without a doubt it was an incredible experi-
ence said NCSU student Luke Perry. "The way
the university responded was amazing. Everyone
stepped up to the challenge
"Obviously the reason for the fund raiser was
sad, but it showed how generous people can be
in the time of need said NCSU student Bryan
Proffitt. "It was very heartwarming
SGA President Cliff Webster applauded the ef-
fort.
"The fund raiser was awesome Webster said.
"It brought more enthusiasm to ECU than I've
ever seen before. Out of all of the groups I've
worked with during our time of need, N.C. State
would have to be the best
Because NCSU has large enrollment of 35,000
students, it was hoped that all students and staff
members would donate one item.
"Even though we didn't reach our goal of
35,000,1 feel we contributed a great deal to ECU
Perry said. "We wish them the best as they re-
build their campus and community

Hurricane Irene moves out to sea, causes no area damage
The day after Irene hit, her effects can be seen at the bottom of College Hill (photo by Emily Richardson)
WILMINGTON (AP)�Hurricane
Irene raced out to sea today, but not
before dumping nearly a foot of rain
in parts of eastern NC and rekin-
dling fears of residents displaced by
Hurricane Floyd a month ago.
NC's third hurricane in two
months churned through Florida
during the weekend and up the
southeast U.S. coast toward the
Carolinas. Late Sunday, it turned
northeast back to sea.
Irene's maximum sustained
winds increased to 105 mph over-
night and it accelerated its move-
ment out into the Atlantic. Tropi-
cal storm warnings were canceled as
the storm moved away from the
coast. �
At 11 a.m the storm was 240
miles south of Massachusetts' Nan-
tucket Island, moving northeast at
39 mph. Storm surges of up to 4 feet
above normal were expected to de-
crease later today.
Torrential rains�tnostly from 3
inches to 6 inchebut up to 11
inches in isolated areas�closed sev-
eral dozen roads. The rain had;
stopped falling by early today, antt
forecasters expected skies to clear
rapidly.
But delayed river flooding and
washed-out roads were still the big-
gest concern to state officials. The
Tar, Neuse and Cape Fear rivers were
expected to be above flood stage by
the middle of the week. During
Floyd, most of the state's 49 deaths
involved rising water, not high
wind.
As Irene neared N.C, an evacu-
ation order was issued for several
beach towns near Wilmington, and
people living in low-lying areas and
mobile homes were encouraged to
seek shelter.
Many left homeless by Floyd
which dumped up to 20 inches of
rain Sept. 16, were evacuated from'
temporary trailer villages to shel
ters. About 6,()(K) homes were dam-

CONTRIBUTING WRITER
� This article is the last installment in our geological se-
rifs
, You've heard it all before. It has become part of our
national culture. Human activities are causing dramatic
increases in carbon dioxide (C02), methane and other
greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. These changes are
causing global warming.
. This much is indisputable: humans have had an
immense impact on the Earth's surface and atmosphere,
the effect of that impact, however, is far from certain.
The scenario heard most often goes like this. As C02
ind other greenhouse gases are added to the atmo-
sphere, average global temperature rises. The results are
flooding, deadly heat waves and severe wind storms.
Tjhe grain belt moves north, sea level rises, our coastal
cjties drown and we all move to Canada, which is now
duite temperate.
i But there is a problem. This scenario is based on
rfcther simple models, models that don't take fully into
Recount the importance of both the oceans and the
ajtmosphere.
1 More complex models, that couple the ocean and
atmosphere, present a very different picture. As C02
and other greenhouse gases are added to the atmo-
sphere, intensified heating in the tropics evaporates
ruge amounts of water from the ocean. As evapora-
tion increases, tropical cloud belts get thicker and more
water vapor is added to the atmosphere.
Water vapor is a greenhouse gas that dwarfs the sig-
nificance of COr As water vapor increases, more rain
fills on the northern continents and oceans. The addi-
tion of all of this fresh water to the northern ocean
causes circulation in the North Atlantic to shut down.
! When it is operating, North Atlantic circulation
rfroves cold, deep water from the polar regions to the
ebuator. As it moves through the equatorial region, the
water warms and rises to the surface. This warm sur-
face water circulates back toward the poles, via currents
like the Gulf Stream, keeping the climate in places such
as NC and western Europe relatively mild.
When this circulation shuts down, the currents that
carry heat from the equator to the poles also shut down.
Without the warm water provided by these currents,
the Northern Hemisphere gets cold, very cold. Instead
of heating up, we enter a new ice age. Ice caps grow,
sea level drops, we all buy heavy wool coats and wish
we lived near the beach, which would be miles east of
where it is now.
The problem with all this is that we cannot be sure
which scenario is correct. While most media attention
has focused on C02 and temperature fluctuations, those
of us who study Earth's climate history know that wa-
ter vapor and precipitation patterns are also important.
Geologists studying global climate change are work-
ing to solve the problem of competing scenarios by
studying the record of past climate change. Our stud-
ies provide ample evidence for both wetter and dryer
and warmer and colder conditions on the Earth than
exist today.
Further, the geological record tells us that the Earth's
climate changes are not usually slow and smooth. In-
stead, they are punctuated by abrupt shifts in rainfall,
as evidenced by the periodic filling up and drying out
of large lakes worldwide and by equally abrupt and dra-
matic shifts in temperature, sometimes up to 20 de-
grees Fahrenheit within a few decades.
The last large-scale global climate shift, a short-Jived
period of severe global cooling, occurred about 10,000
years ago. Lately, we have had an unusually long pe-
riod of climatic warmth and stability. This current warm
interval has already been more than twice as long as
any during the past two million years.
Civilization is working to insure that Earth's climate
will change again soon. By adding C02 and other green-
house gases to the atmosphere, we are giving a climate
system that is poised on the brink of natural changes a
small, but powerful nudge, possibly just what it needs
to make the overdue change. But what will that change
be?
Studies of past climate change are helping to an-
swer that question. Geological data collected from sites
around the globe can be used to test the ocean-atmo-
sphere models.
This data, best preserved in sediments on the ocean
floor and in large lakes, is being gathered and exam-
ined by geologists at ECU and around the world. We
cannot study the future, but the information preserved
in geological record will provide us with valuable clues
about past climate change and help us predict and pre-
pare for the inevitable, and likely rapid, climate changes
coming our way.

CORRECTION
Campus Nutrition Director
Laura Hartung was misquoted in
both the "The Truth About Choco-
late" and "The Freshman 15" ar-
ticles. The corrections are as follows:
Women are not 76 percent more
likely to be addicted to chocolate
than males, but are 76 percent more
likely to crave chocolate; Fruits are
not a substantial source of protein,
but are full of vitamins, minerals,
fiber and carbohydrates; It is fine to
snack, as long as it isn't made syn-
onymous with studying. Lastly, the
quotation "although men need
their daily cocoa as well" was
wrongly attributed to Hartung. We
apologize for the misinformation.

Two people were injured from
separate tornadoes spawned by the

FEATURES BRIEFS
Great writers in history
Shakespeare, William (1564-1616)
Shakespeare was the English playwright and
poet, recognized in much of the world as the
greatest of all dramatists. Shakespeare's plays
communicate a profound knowledge of the
wellsprings of human behavior, revealed
through portrayals of a wide variety of
characters. His use of poetic and dramatic
means to create a unified aesthetic effect out
of a multiplicity of vocal expressions and actions
is recognized as a singular achievement. While
his use of poetry within his plays to express the
deepest levels of human motivation in individual,
social and universal situations is considered one
of the greatest accomplishments in literary
history.
Ibsen, Henrtk Johan (1828-1906)
Ibsen was the Norwegian dramatist, whose well-
constructed plays dealing realistically with
psychological and social problems won him
recognition as the father of modern drama.
)aV
Chekhov, Anton Pavlovich (1860-1904)
Chekhov was the Russian writer who brought
both the short story and the drama to new
.prominence in Russia and eventually the
.Western world. Chekhov conveys his
character's inner lives and feelings indirectly,
by suggestion rather than statement. His plots
'are usually simple, and the endings of both his
stories and his plays tend toward openness
father than finality. Chekhov's works create the
effect of profound experience taking place
beneath the surface in the ordinary lives of
unexceptional people.
O'Neill, Eugene (1888-1953)
O'Neill was the American playwright whose
work dramatizes the plight of people driven by
elemental passions, by memory and dream and
by an awareness of the forces that threaten to
overwhelm them. His early plays, appearing
between 1916-1920, helped initiate American
theater's shift away from elegant parlor dramas
and toward gritty naturalistic plays.
Genet, Jean (1910-1986)
Genet was the French novelist and dramatist,
whose writings, dwelling upon bizarre, and
grotesque aspects of human existence, express
profound rebellion against society and its
conventions. Born in Paris, Genet was the
illegitimate child of a prostitute. He was caught
stealing at the age of 10 and by early
adolescence had begun to serve a series of
sentences, spanning nearly 30 years, for theft
and homosexual prostitution.
Mamet, David (1947-)
Mamet is the American playwright, screenwriter
and director, whose dramatic style reflects the
inarticulateness and violence in alienated
members of the lower-middle class. Poetic,
comically fragmented and often shocking,
Mamet's use of language has been compared
to that of Greek dramatist Aristophanes,
American writer Emest Hemingway, Irish author
Samuel Beckett and English playwright Harold
Pinter.

ASSISTANT FEATURES EDITOR
You're in class all day and work a double shift every
night. Homework is a task you have mastered com-
pleting in between classes. All of a sudden, as you
glimpse at your syllabus, you realize a major paper is
due in two days that will count 40 percent of your fi-
nal grade. As you stress about creating a 15 page paper
in two days, you begin to daydream of a magical place
where you can get a paper that has already been writ-
ten. Sound too good to be true? Not in this day and
age. Finding sites where you can receive pre-written
papers is not hard to come by as cheatingplagiarizing
online becomes more pppular.
Judicial coordinator, Dean Mary Louise Antieau re-
alize these sites are in existence.
"We've began picking up on these sites about five
years ago Antieau said.
According to Antieau, as a member The Associa-
tion of Student Judicial Affairs, she and other profes-
sors discuss online cheating. According to Donna
Patchett of Marymount University, "if you go to any
internet search engine and type in 'term papers you
will find hundreds of sites offering term papers for free
and some that will send free sample pages before
you buy
The system is quite simple. On most sites you can
get many things accomplished, from writing a term
paper or book report to creating a professional resume
or answering the questions on college entrance essays.
With a few keystrokes, you can obtain a custom pa-
per�for a price. For example, on one particular site,
the first page of a book report will cost $30, each addi-
tional page $15. Be prepared to shell out more money
if you want to include a bibliography or footnotes.
There are other sites that will post papers under
certain categories and are just right for the picking, if
you're lucky to find one that fits the description of what
professors are looking for. According to Antieau, she
wouldn't consider using these sources.
"Some sites have students who write Ipapers). put
them on the web and sell them or give them away
Antieau said.
She said she has read some of these papers that have
gone on the net for free and, as a former high school
teacher, she wouldn't even give them a "D" on the
work, had it been their own.
Although many of these sites use disclaimers such
as "students should use these papers as a tool to better
understand the particular subject matter and the site
cannot be held accountable for plagiarism if the stu-
dent chooses to hand in the pre-written work it is
still considered cheating ifyou turn in the work as your
own.
"No matter what medium is used to obtain these
papers, it's still a violation of ECU's code of conduct
Antieau said.
Within her first year as judicial coordinator at ECU,
Antieau has not encountered a case of cheating involv-
Independent films
given outlet on campus
Mercury cinema
growing in popularity
Jennifer Brown
STAFF WRITER
Independent films that are not shown at main-
stream theaters like Carmike 12 get less time in the
public eye. Mercury Cinema at ECU gives students a
chance to see independent films.
"Mercury Cinema shows independent films that
aren't Blockbusters and aren't usually well-known to
the general public said Cathy Black, a senior at ECU.
Black is the film chair, which means she supervises a
group of 12 students who select the movies to be shown.
These students start by browsing through catalogs
of films and then compile a huge list of movies they
are interested in viewing. The list is eventually narrowed
down. Also, surveys were passed out to all incoming
students to see which movies they were interested in
seeing.
"Mercury Cinema shows independent films that
aren't Blockbusters and aren't usually well-known to
the general public
Cathy Black
ECU Student
Then after defining their list they vote and Black
orders the films that are available. Students can get
involved by going by Mendenhall 236 and picking up
an application from the Student Union.
Mercury Cinema began last year, according to
Stephen Gray, the student activities director. Gray said
that the response to the cinema has been very large
this year with audiences ranging from 150-175 people
per showing.
Mercury Cinema movies are shown at 7:30 p.m. on
Wednesdays and 10 p.m. on Thursdays. Blockbusters
are shown Thursdays Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays
at 7:30 p.m.
"Life is Beautiful will be shown on Nov. 3-4 in con-
junction with an artistic instillation about the holo-
caust that will be in the Mendenhall Gallery, Oct. 25-
Nov. 22 said Lynn Caverly, the assistant director of
student activities.
This Is just one of the many films to be shown at
the cinema this year. Freshmen Brad Whitley and
Amanda Smith enjoy going to the Mercury Cinema.
Whitley said they have seen such films as Midsummer

Ing the internet.
For some, although, it Is in violation with our
university's regulations.Jhey will take the chance and
submit these essays. But according to university attor-
ney, Ben Irons, it isn't the smartest thing.
"Online plagiarism) compromises a student's in-
tegrity and undermines their education Irons said.
"Faculty members are aware of these sites and do
recognize that It is a problem. However, faculty mem-
bers are equipped to detect plagiarism
According to Antieau, one way professors can de-
tect plagiarism is the changes in the style of writing.
"Generally speaking, it's pretty easy in most sub-
jects because most students who cheat aren't very dis-
ciplined themselves Antieau said. "It would be easy
for a professor to note the change of writing styles in a
student
"If the written product is inconsistent with previ-
ous products, professors will become suspicious Irons
said.
And the consequences that go along with getting
caught can be severe.
"If one is caught cheating, consequences such as
an 'F' in the course may occur Irons said. "If allega-
tions are serious enough and repeated, it could extend
from probation, suspension, possibly expulsion.
Although cheating seems to have immediate re-
wards, occasionally the consequences can be a severe
as expulsion. Whether it is online or in person, cheat-
ing is a violation of the code of conduct and can be
detrimental to one's academic career if he or she is
caught.

If we continue to neglect our
responsibility to the environment that
feeds and nourishes us as well as
gives us beauty to appreciate
aesthetically, how can we say that we
are gaming a wider perspective or
that we are interested in the well
being of the world and the people
around US'?
OURVIEW
Recycling: is it an overrated movement left over from the hippies, or is
it a valid way of participating in the fight to preserve the natural resources
that we have left?
At ECU, we are at about 50 percent of our recycling capabilities. We
could recycle less, but there is room for us to recycle much more.
There are recycling bins all over CC and the other academic buildings
on campus, but do you always stop to put your old papers in them or do
you aim for the nearest trash can? Maybe everyone should stop and think
next time they walk around with that pathetic test grade, and decide if
you want it forever in a landfill or forever erased and made into another
sheet of paper for another merciless teacher to write a heart breaking
grade on.
Not a difficult decision to make, but many decide that they want these
papers and soda cans, bottles, memos and newspapers to forever sit and
rot beneath neighborhoods or city parks.
The trees that we have left are producing enough oxygen for the out-
rageous amount of men and women populating this planet at a mind-
blowing rate, but how long will that last if they are burned and chopped
down to make toothpicks and other wood products? If we could preserve
the natural resources we have by recycling the things that we use, than
our forests and rain forests might possibly be around for more genera-
tions to look at and benefit from.
Why bother having recycling bins if we are not going to use them? As
students, we should be educated and aware of the effect of the things we
do. If we continue to neglect our responsibility to the environment that
feeds and nourishes us as well as gives us beauty to appreciate aestheti-
cally, how can we say that we are gaining a wider perspective or that we
are interested in the well being of the world and the people around us?
Next time you carelessly trash that recyclable good, think again. Would
you rather cause the needless destruction of another tree, or will you give
that piece of paper, no matter how foul the writing on it may be, another
life?
OPINION COLUMN
University should reinstate reading day
OPINION COLUMN
Consumer fever eats the American conscience
Demosthenes
OPINION WRITER
In the latest pinnacle of western
culture, the United States has em-
braced a sick philosophy. It is called
consumer fever and it is spreading.
The majority of citizens of this na-
tion believe that if they can buy, eat,
burn, possess and consume enough
material substance that it will make
them happy.
It is quite evident by the fact that
Americans use more eas, food, pa-
per and so on than any other na-
tion. This is no way to live in har-
mony with our surroundings. Con-
sumerism is the great lawn mower
of the world.
You can look at this phenom-
enon from a smaller perspective. A
bacteria colony in a petri dish full
of food will grow in population
until supplies begin to run short. Its
population will then decrease until
all are dead. This event follows a
simple bell curve that exists
throughout nature.
Has mankind not risen above
this base biological law? Obviously,
3ur petri dish has not yet reached
ts capacity, but we are beginning
to see the strain we cause. Why do
you think there is a big push to de-
velop planetary colonization tech-
nology?
In eastern thought there is a
much larger emphasis on living
within your surroundings, never
upsetting the delicate balance that
nature has established. This can he
accomplished by slowing down,
paying attention to what is around
you and using only what you need.
For example, why do Americans
eat so much food? People in this
country eat like they have not seen
food in weeks. Next time you walk
through the lines at Todd or
Mendenhall think about how much
food do you really need to consume
and if everyone ate no more than
they needed how much the quality
of the food would increase.
When you go out to buy a new
stereo, bicycle, book or tool, think
about if you buy one with some sub-
stance quality to it, you might
spend a little extra money now, but
you will not have to run out and
buy another one in three years
when this one is useless. When
something of yours breaks, the im-
mediate consumer fever response is
to run out for another. A great al-
ternative which seems to have been
forgotten is to simply get it fixed.
One more thing which I think
plays a vital role in harmonious liv-
ing is reusing resources. Recycling
applies not only to glass and paper,
but to everything around you. If we
could learn to reuse materials in-
stead of discarding everything into
giant underground dumps we
would be one step closer to har-
mony.
As 1 watch Europe put up its own
versions of Walmart, and I see chil-
dren in Nepal wearing Sylvester
Stalone T-shirts, I can only hope
that humanity will not fall for these
consumer fever methods. Keep
shopping at your small independent
bakery, your fish market and your
deli. Reuse and recycle anything you
can and find new ways to do so, and
do not discard your broken posses-
sions only to go out and buy a new
piece of garbage to replace it. Let us
not take more from the petri dish
than we can return. Be thoughtful
and conscious, until we meet again.

Everyone is making adjustments due to Hurricane
Floyd and its disastrous aftermath. Not only did the
hurricane reek havoc in our day to day lives by de-
stroying housing, contaminating water and bolstering
the amount of local mosquitoes but it also created uni-
versity chaos. Classes being canceled for two weeks is
resulting in unmitigated academic hell for both the
students and professors. In the attempt to compensate
for the classes missed because of this natural disaster,
the university decided to eliminate fall break, cut out a
day of Thanksgiving break, add a Saturday class and
replace Reading Day with a normal class day. While
the university is making great and respectable strides
to lower stress and ease the transition back into a regu-
lar schedule, a major mistake is being made.
No one can reasonably deny that missing class for
two weeks creates a major obstacle to meeting course
requirements and objectives. After all, class curriculums
are designed for an allotted number of days and class
meetings; however, jamming the hours into breaks and
weekends is counterproductive. This is especially true
of one day in particular, Reading Day.
Taking away our fall break is bad; it's not as if dis-
missed classes due to national states of emergency fall
under "rest and relaxation" time. Admittedly though,
desperate times call for desperate measures so the elimi-
nation of fall break, while bad, is understandable. Cut-
ting a day out of Thanksgiving seems odd, to say the
least. Thanksgiving is family time, and for those like
myself with a night class that Wednesday, a definite
strain is caused to get home in time for Thanksgiving
dinner. The Saturday class, even though the most logi-
cal, is equally the most laughable. Having class on Sat-
urday is not natural and it violates everything we have
ever known about school since age 5. Nevertheless, like
the previous examples, there is method to the mad-
ness of the solution, except for Reading Day.
Reading Day is not just some day that can come �
and go on a whim. It has a specific academic purpose,
Some students may not take it seriously, but some stu-
dents don't take school in general seriously. The corf- ;
cept of Reading Day is so important that most schools
allot for days or even a week in between classes ami
exams. Taking away one of the most crucial days pre-
ceding final exams is ludicrous. Essentially, it's adding
insult to injury. There are times to scramble around �
and make up for something lost and then there are �
times, like right now, that you just have to chalk it up '�
to misfortune and accept that it is lost and it's not com- !
ing back. The university needs to let go of the notion
that we are actually going to be able to fully recuperate
academically from the hurricane and in the process, �
give us our Reading Day back.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Football team deserves praise, not jabs
Dear Editor,
I was reading the opinion col-
umn of Mr. Ryan Kennemuf ("Fans
Bragging Rights Not Earned Oct.
12) and was wondering what he was
talking about. The idea that anyone,
much less someone that is supposed
to be a supporter of the school,
would call any program such as ours
receives as "unneeded" is foolish.
Who cares who claims ECU as their
home team? I've worked with the
ECU football team for the last two
and a half years and consider any-
one willing to come to our games
an asset, regardless of how long
they've been supporters.
By the way, Ryan Dogg, where
were you on Saturday? "We-suck-
land?" Don't condemn anyone who
was there supporting your school
when you couldn't find the time to
come to a game that is free for you
to attend. I am sure that the several
thousand other fans would agree on
this matter. Also, the next time you
decide to rant on a topic, STICK TO
IT, instead of rambling on about
superfluous subjects that have little
or nothing to do with what you're
writing about. Exactly how does a
NASCAR fan compare to a fair-
weather Pirate fan?
Lastly, no one person should
ever call the one loss we suffered last
Saturday as inevitable. The work
that these young men have piU
forth to obtain a goal, that is obvi-
ously beyond your comprehension,
goes above and beyond what is ex-
pected of the average student. This
team deserves every bit of gratitude
that can be given to them at this
early part of the season. Besides,
when, not if, we are awarded a bowl
bid, 1 am sure that once again you
will be writing a column on the
greatness of the fans and program
you seem so willing to put down
now.

)ivision I sports. I found the article
o be very nice.
There was a comment made by
junior communications major
hat really caught my eye. In the
rticle, he stated "It makes you ask
ourself why there aren't more than
wo African-American head coaches
it ECU here. I am busy asking
nyself are they just not finding
ualified ones, or what?"
The reason that the comment
intrigued me was because of the lack
of support for specifically women's
basketball. I would like to challenge
that young man and the rest of the
student body not to criticize the
hiring practices here at ECU but,
instead, to make a difference by sup-
porting the coaches that are here!
How many of you know that our
volleyball team started off the sea-
son 5-0? How many of you knew
that my basketball team had its first
winning season in six years last year
in my first year as head coach and
were six points from advancing to
the NCAA tournament?
We need your support! If you
love ECU, you'll come out and sup-
port us this season. We need you to
give us a home court advantage so
that we can be even more success-
ful than we already have been.
If you support us, I promise to
support you in any way possible. I
would love to help any student or-
ganization on campus. I am a mem-
ber of the Alpha Kappa Alpha So-
rority, Inc and they know that they
have my full support as well.
How many of you PIRATES will
step up to the challenge?
See you at the games.
Dee Gibson
Head Women's Basketball Coach
Selfishness, greed and arrogance
are often devastating characteristics
of one's persona and usually when
these words are used to describe a
person (in this case persons) or their
behavior, those persons are unaware
of these obscene character flaws
andor actions. Blinded by these
wretched personality traits, these
persons continue on whatever trek,
plan or scheme they have con-
cocted.
Why am I babbling about these
particular 'gems' of the human
psyche and personality? Because I
would like to inform a group em-
bodying these traits and actions to
the letter, on a daily basis, that it is
time to stop.
Who are these poor, aloof indi-
viduals? The members of the new
Chi Phi "colony" trying to gain ad-
mittance to the inter-fraternity
council, and into an oversaturated
Greek community. I know, I know,
we are supposed to encourage
people to chase after their dreams
and shoot for lofty goals but in this
case it's just not fair to the other
male Greek letter organizations on
this campus.
It is a simple matter of numbers.
Membership is at an all-time low
here at ECU, as well as around the
country, which translates into less
opportunities for the eighteen fra-
ternities to recruit quality men. The
Greek student population as a
whole is only about 10 percent-
down from 15 percent just a few
short years ago. The balance be-
tween fraternities and sororities is
severely lopsided, a two-to-one ra-
tio, which means that the social
outlet is already hanging on a tight
noose.
What members of the Chi Phi
colony are doing is putting an
abominable strain on an already
tapped Greek system. There are
enough fraternities here that offer
every type of social diversity that
one could ever ask for.
What these men are doing is
unfair to the members of the Greek
community. You are not enhanc-
ing the population, you are tearing
it down, because you are either A.
too selfish to go out and rush and
see what everyone has to offer, B.
so pompous that you think that you
are better than everyone else, C. so
blinded by greed andor a lack of
self-esteem that you think this will
catapult you into instant social ac-
ceptance. Or, D. you are just plain
old clue less.
I hope that the answer is D be-
cause I hate to think that I have to
share a community with people that
have such low moral character and
lack of conviction as you seem to
possess.

Midnight Madness kicks off basketball season
Pep rally, contests draw 1,400
Susanne Milenkevich
SENIOR WRITER
ECU'S basketball programs began their seasons with
a new twist this year, as the Pirates held their first ever
Minges Midnight Madness to kick off the 1999-2000
basketball season.
Midnight Madness is a tradition at many schools
across the nation. University of North Carolina and
Duke University both hold this event which consists
of a pep rally and contests that begin late the night
before practice can officially start according to the
NCAA regulations. At 12:01 a.m. many teams begin
the season by splitting the players into two teams to
scrimmage before their fans and coaches.
"I've been to midnight madness's before at other
colleges and I think it's great that ECU is starting one
here said junior Karen Flayner, a hospitality manage-
ment major.
According to Media Relations, the night began when
the doors opened at 10:45 p.m. and about 1,400 ECU
fans poured in.
Performances by the Pure Gold Dance Team, the
ECU cheerleaders and the Pep Band began at 11:1S p.m.
followed by the introduction of this year's coaches.
Women's Head Coach Dee Gibson was introduced
for her second season with the Pirates.
"Let me tell you something Gibson said. "You guys
haven't seen nothing yet
Last year Gibson lead the women to their first win-
ning season in six years with a record of 16-13. This
year, Gibson has bigger plans.
"We played in the finals at the conference tourna-
ment last year and lost to number five in the country,
Old Dominion Gibson said. "This year we're going
to beat Old Dominion
Gibson called for the support to make it happen.
"Let me tell you something Gibson said. "We need
your help. We need you here
First year coach Bill Herrion was then introduced
as "no stranger to the NCAA tournament as he joins us
from coaching a Drexel University team that made the
tournament four times under his leadership
"I'm starting to get excited already Herrion said.
"Even though this place is not full yet (imagine) how
loud it would get if we put people in the stands this
year. I think we could really turn this into a great home
court atmosphere
Herrion also called for support from the fans as he
announced the men's season begins at home Nov. 23
against Wisconsin-Green Bay.
"We want to pack this place when we play Wiscon-
sin-Green Bay Herrion said.
The Pirates had a special guest in the crowd Friday
night as they were joined by WNBA Cleveland Rockers
player Chastity Melvin.
Melvin played for N.C. State and just finished her
first season in the WNBA. Melvin's younger sister,
Danielle plays for ECU.
"I love the girls on the ECU team Melvin said. "I
know all of them, they're like all my little sisters so I
had to come watch them play
Since the WNBA's season is in the summer, Melvin
said she will attend many of the games this year.
"I think they'll do well coming off last year Melvin
said. "If they just work hard and play with confidence

Player's determination leads to success
Stephen Schramm
SPORTS EDITOR
For a while in the fourth quar-
ter against Southern Miss, David
Garrard looked as if he were back
at Southern Durham high school.
Tacklers hitting the 235 pound
quarterback only to be shaken off
and watch as Garrard would
make the play and keep the drive
alive.
"I was just determined not to
go down that last drive, and it was
working out for the most part
Garrard said.
Determination is something
Garrard has shown throughout
the 1999 campaign.
Against West Virginia, it was
his ability to run for key yards and
break tackles that propelled the Pi-
rates to the 30-23 victory. It was
his touchdown run with 56 sec-
onds left that gave the Pirates the
lead.
It was his determination that
helped lead the Pirates to victories
over Duke and South Carolina.
It was his determination that
kept him and the Pirates from
folding when they were down 20-
0 against Miami.
It was determination that
helped Garrard throw for 300
yards against Army and get the C-
USA offensive Player-of-the-
Week. The next week, he threw for
249 yards and rushed for 56
against Southern Miss in a losing
effort. However it was his late
game heroics that electrified the
crowd of 39,000 at Dowdy
Ficklen Stadium.
"He's a very amazing guy
said Senior flanker LaMont
Chappell. "The stuff he does,
sometimes it's funny to sit a
watch him and how elusive he
is. He brings a lot to the table,
as far as being our quarterback
and making plays
The spectacular plays and
consistent performance that
Garrard has shown this season
should come as no surprise to
Pirate fans.
Garrard finished 1998 ranked
No. 23 nationally in passing effi-
ciency and No. 2 among freshmen.
He broke 16 ECU passing records
including the highest completion
percentage in ECU history, 61.6. He
also broke the record for most pass-
ing yards in a game with a 414 yard
performance against Memphis.
The record was formerly held by
Pirate legend, Marcus Crandall.
Garrard's growth as a quarter-
back has been tremendous since he
took over for Bobby Weaver in Oc-
tober of 1998. In only one year as
a starter, he has become a force
in the conference and a leader in
the locker room.
"It's about as dramatic as it
could be said Head Coach
Steve Logan. "Compared to the J
young man that was playing last ;
year at about this time, compared
to what we've got right now.
He's an outstanding student of
the game. He is very coachable,
teachable and he's got the God-
given ability to make plays

Golf team finishes ninth
at Adam's Cup

STAFF WRITER
The ECU golf team finished ninth out of 1.4 at th
Adam's Cup in Narragansett, R.I. This tournampnt fea-
tured high praised teams such as Furman, Michigan
State, Virginia Tech and Toledo (who won the tourna-
ment).
The team had to battle terrible weather conditions
throughout the tournament with winds reaching up
to 30 mph and gusting as high as 50 mph. Coach
Kevin Williams had never seen playing conditions ol
that caliber but knows it was still a competition.
"Conditions dictate how you play but everyone had
to play in those conditions Williams said !
Despite the tough weather conditions, -ECU die
have a bright spot with Stephen Satterly earning a top
20 finish rounding out the tournament with a final
round 80 to finish in a tie for 16th.
Chad Webb and Frank Adams had good final round:
as they moved up to 23rd and 32nd.
"The wind was really bad and tough on everyone
Webb said. "It was blowing so hard that no one coulc
play as well as they could
The Pirate golf squad has a record of 13 wns anc
14 losses so far this season.
"It is really hard to tell where we are at considerinj
everything that has gone on this semester with thi
flooding Williams said. "Losing our first two tourna
ments put us really far behind. 1 thought the breal
might help our players because they would have raon
time to work on their game while they were at home
The Pirates took a vicious blow at the beginning o
the season when Marc Miller decided to be redshirted
Since the NCAA tournament will be held in his home
town of Durham in the year 2001, he wanted ahanc
to play there either as a team or individually.
"Sometimes it's frustrating to know that I could b(
helping the team and that is when I do miss it Millei
