Players question coach's methods
Trainer fired following
locker room brawl
Stephen Schramm
SPORTS EDITOR
Following a late season brawl
that erupted in the locker room
of the ECU basketball team that
left one player injured and two
players suspended, many ECU
players are questioning the
rhetoric of Head Basketball
Coach Bill Merrion. The after-
math of the incident has also
claimed the job of respected
trainer, Jim Bazluki.
Numerous players have
stated that Herrion often told the
team to be more physical adopt
a more violent style of game and
a more confrontational attitude
among themselves.
The players stated that
Herrion said:
� "At Drexel, I would come in
at halftime and someone would
be pinned against the wall by
their throat. Why can't I get that
here?"
�"If 1 could hit you, I would.
But then I'd get fired. By this time
at Drexel there would have been
three or four fights by now
�"Be a man, knock
somebody's head off
�"We have enough bodies, so
I don't care if you get hurt
�"If you foul somebody take
his fing head off
�"We haven't had one fight
this year. You guys are so soft.
There's not an ounce of competi-
tiveness in anyone on this team
�"One time at Drexel, I had
two guys start just swinging at
each other and told 'em, 'Let 'em
go So I just sat back and
watched them go after it. Finally
after a while we broke it up
According to players who did
not wish to be identified,
Herrion's comments contributed
to the altercation that took place
between the two teammates.
The fight that occurred on
Feb. 29 followed a practice in
which Herrion was reportedly
upset with the team's lack of in-
tensity.
According to statements ob-
tained from the players, the fight
took place in the film room fol-
lowing a heated speech by
Herrion in which he made eye
contact with center Alphons Van
Ierland. Following the speech the
coaching staff left the room. At
that point, guard David Taylor
mentioned that Herrion was
looking at Van Ierland for much
of his talk.
Following that remark,
Quincy Hall, apparently of-
fended by Taylor's comment to-
wards Van Ierland, confronted
Taylor. The two exchanged words
and then Hall struck Taylor. The
two then fought until Hall began
choking Taylor, allegedly render-
ing him momentarily uncon-
scious. The players then broke up
the fight and summoned
Bazluki, who was still on the
court. Bazluki entered the room
and found Taylor conscious and
began to tend to his injuries. At
this point Taylor reportedly
picked up a chair and attempted
to throw it at Hall. The chair was
taken away and the fight was
over.
The fight left Taylor with a
cut below his eye that required
six stitches and several smaller
cuts. Hall was left with a small
cut in his mouth that did not re-
quire stitches.
Because of the altercation,
both Taylor and Hall were sus-
pended for the CAA Tournament
game that the Pirates eventually
lost, 75-54.
Following the incident,
Bazluki spoke with Herrion
about the altercation. Bazluki re-

School of Business seeks tougher admission requirements
Proposal will have
few short-term effects
Carolyn Herold
STAFF WRITER
The School of Business at
ECU recently proposed to raise
program admission requirements
in an effort keep the business
school approximately the same
size while the rest of the univer-
sity grows.
The way the admission re-
quirements stand currently, a stu-
dent needs to have completed at
least 45 semester hours with a 2.5
or higher GPA, and a grade of C
or better in seven specific courses
to enter into the school of busi-
ness. The proposal will raise those
class requirements to eight
courses (ACCT 2521 will be
added), scoring a C or better on
all eight courses, while still re-
taining the current requirement
of 45 semester hours and a 2.5
overall.
The proposed changes were
generated by the administration
of the school of business and
passed by a mail ballot without
general discussion among the
faculty or students. The measure
must now be approved by the
university Curriculum Commit-
tee, Faculty Senate and Chancel-
lor Eakin before it can be imple-
mented.
The business faculty voted on
the new requirements by way of
a mail-in ballot three days after
the proposal was made. Typi-
cally when proposals of this na-
ture are made, there is a longer
period of deliberation and a full
faculty meeting for discussion.
"There were faculty and com-
mittee involved said Dr. Ernest
B. Uhr, dean of the school of
r
business. "We ha e been looking
at this since last fall. All of the
requirements were followed

Duke U.�Elvis is alive and the government is about
to shut down Krcyzewskiville�no foolin Unless it
happens to be April Fool's Day and you're looking at
Duke University's Web site or the Duke Basketball Re-
port.
In honor of the April 1 holiday, the Duke News
Service superimposed Elvis Presley into the pictures that
normally appear on the University's homepage. With
this addition, Elvis was present at President Nan
Keohane's inauguration, a field hockey game and sev-
eral other places.
While seemingly few students actually reported that
they noticed the King in the Web site pictures, staff at
the Duke News Service were proud of their prank.
"We thought It was so cool that it would make a
good April Fool's joke said Dennis Meredith, assis-
tant vice president and director of the Office of Re-
search Communications. "Nan thought it was a real
honor to have Elvis at her inauguration
The idea for the joke originally came from Vincent
Budnick, a systems administration analyst in the Of-
fice of Information Technology, while he was super-
imposing images of Elvis into pictures for fun, Meredith
said. The choice of Elvis for the superimposed images
was simple.
Cause Elvis is cool Meredith said. "He's the King.
And Duke doesn't accept anything less than the King
The Duke Basketball Report, a privately run Web
site which features up-to-date basketball information,
is frequented by many Duke fans.
The site also puts on an annual April Fool's prank,
and this year it created a phony story claiming that
the Environmental Protection Agency was shutting
down K-ville as an environmental hazard.
"Each year we try to do an April Fool's joke that
knocks people for a loop said DBR co-director Boswell,
a 1980 Duke graduate who prefers the one-word moni-
ker. "So each year we try to do something that's a bit
realistic, something that actually might be true
This year, the site creators decided to use K-ville
because it is one of the "great, hallowed traditions at
Duke We knew it would touch a nerve if some gov-
ernment bureaucrats came in and tried to interfere with
it Boswell said.
Along with the fake press release the creators made
a link to the actual EPA letter that had been sent to
Executive Vice President Tallman Trask.
And although this year's idea originally came from
his wife, Boswell said, It is in keeping with other April
Fool's pranks the site has pulled.
Last year, DBR created a mock-up of The Herald-
Sun of Durham's Web site, and posted a story claiming
that Bill Guthridge had retired and Dean Smith was
coming back as his replacement.
The story was so widely believed that wire services
in Iowa and Missouri picked it up, and the real Herald-
Sun was forced to run an announcement about their
lack of involvement with the prank.
This year's prank was more confusing to people than
anything else, Boswell said, with people writing in ask-
ing why DBR had fallen for such a prank.
"A couple�and these are probably the funniest re-
actions�told us what idiots we were for falling for an
April Fool's joke he said. "We had to tell them we
were the ones that came up with it
Georgia Southern U.�Four former Georgia South-
ern University students who were arrested and con-
victed of participating in an April 7,1999 bombing and
burglary conspiracy were sentenced on March 23 to
varying prison terms and probation.
Shane Thomas McKevlin, Jason William Guest and
Michael Tyson Miller�all charged with two counts of
possession, manufacture, or transportation of a destruc-
tive device and one count of conspiracy to commit
burglary�were sentenced by Judge John R. Turner to
10 years in prison, to be probated except for a 300 to
360 day period of incarceration in a detention center.
Each of the three was fined $7,500 and banished
from the Ogeechee Judicial Circuit, which includes
Bulloch and three other counties.
McKevlin and Guest must perform 200 hours of
community service; Miller must put in 300 hours.
Miller, who worked as a student escort with the GSU
Police Department prior to and during the incident,
was fingered by prosecutors as the mastermind of the
plot.
Haley Melissa Berryman, convicted on one count
of possession, manufacture, or transportation of a de-
structive device and one count of conspiracy to com-
mit burglary, was sentenced to 10years, probated, with
60 to 90 days to be served in a detention center. She
also received a $2,000 fine, 200 hours of community
service and banishment from the Ogeechee Judicial
Circuit.
The students planned to detonate a bomb near the
Recreation and Activity Center (RAC) on campus, while
three of them carried out a robbery of Deal Hall. The
plot was uncovered by investigators and they appre-
hended them the same night as the attempt.
The bomb was made of household materials and
placed near a dumpster at the RAC, but did not ex-
plode because rain falling that evening put out the fuse.
Investigators also discovered that the defendants
had detonated a test bomb the day before in order to
determine how much noise the bomb would create.
This was done, according to prosecutors, so they could
gauge whether or not the bomb would be an accept-
able diversion.
The sentencing phase had been rescheduled numer-
ous times over the past few months following the plea
agreements reached by the state and the defense. Vari-
ous expert witnesses and family members testified, each
hoping to affect the sentencing decision of the judge.
Video presentations were submitted by both the
state and the defense, with the state retaining the ser-
vices of the GBI to construct and detonate a bomb of
similar composition and the defense hiring an inde-
pendent bomb expert for $21,000 to do the same.
The difference between the two test was that the
GBI agents used firecrackers in their bomb, like the
defendants, while the defense's expert did not. The
state's tape was meant to show the unpredictability of
a bomb explosion, while the defense's showed that the
bomb did not even have enough force to knock down
the wooden boards propped nearby.
At issue during the proceedings Thursday was
whether the materials used in the bombs were danger-
ous enough to cause harm or damage.
Attorneys for the defense argued their clients did
not think the bomb would cause harm to any indi-
viduals, with McKevlin's attorney reading statements
from the four indicating that the area of placement for
the bomb used the night of the intended burglary was
chosen because they felt no one would get hurt if it
was detonated there.

the fight.
Many players said they feel that Herrion's
comments were indeed contributing factors
for the altercation.
"When someone gets hurt, it crosses the
line said one player. "You've got to know
what type of players you've got and what
they can take
Herrion was unable to be reached for
comment.
After his discussion with Herrion, Bazluki
traveled with the team to Richmond for the
CAA tournament.
On the Wednesday after the tournament,
Bazluki was informed that his contract,
which ends June 30, would not be renewed
by ECU.
"The unofficial reason given is that there
is irreparable damage between the coach and
myself Bazluki said.
"I just think it's unfortunate said one
player. "He was standing up for the players.
Bazluki has been around enough players
and coaches to know when to sit back and

with practice, somebody has got to stick up

Bazluki has worked at ECU for seven years
and was named the North Carolina Athletic
Trainers Associations' CollegeUniversity
Athletic Trainer of the Year in 1997. Accord-
ing to Bazluki, there was no attempt made to
move him to a different team.

Klan threatens civil-rights challenge to city mask law ELECTION
from page 1
BARBOURVILLE, Ky. (APM Ku
Klux Klan group vowed Sunday to
file a federal civil-rights lawsuit
against Barbourville for hastily pass-
. Ing an ordinance forbidding the
' group from wearing masks in pub-
lic.
Klan members went ahead with
a rally Saturday, but complained
that the March 28 ordinance damp-
ened the turnout and infringed on
their First Amendment rights.
"It stopped probably another SO
people from coming. They would
have lost their jobs Jeff Berry,
National Imperial Wizard of the
American Knights of the Ku Klux
Klan, told the Associated Press Sun-
day. Berry spoke in a telephone
interview from his Butler, Ind
home.
Seventeen Klan members at-
tended rallies in Barbourville and
Pineville on Saturday.
Berry said his group plans to ar-
gue in federal court that the ordi-
nance had a chilling effect on Klan
members' individual rights to at-
tend the rally and express their
views.
"If they look in the Constitution
it says everyone Is entitled to free
political speech anonymously
Berry said.
The ordinance bans the wearing
of hoods or masks for anyone 13 or
older in public places or on
another's property. The city first
considered the ordinance on March
27, and gave it final passage at a
special meeting the next day, four
days before the rally.
Klan members also did not wear
hoods in Pineville, where an anti-
mask ordinance has been in place
responsible to the legislature for all
financial transactions that happen
within the SGA.
Minutes of all SGA meetings and
any legislative correspondence is
taken care of by the secretary.
Students can vote tomorrow at
Todd Dining Hall, Joyner Library,
The Wright Place and Mendenhall
Student Center beginning at 9 a.m.
"It's really important that every-
one go out and vote said Overton
Harper, the current student body
treasurer. "The SGA can't be the
voice of the students if they don't
use their vote to voice their opin-

Tomorrow is the day when all the SGA candidates will be out with
their crews, dressed in identical T-shirts trying to convince you to vote.
It's no secret that out of a student body of 17,000, hundreds choose to
vote while thousands pass the polls by every year.
We at TEC say you should swallow your apathy and spend the neces-
sary five minutes to make yourself feel involved in campus politics. Make
a choice on a candidate based on reputation, looks or even sheer persis-
tence-just vote!
Voting in campus elections is good practice for voting in the "real
world It gets you thinking about candidate qualities, what changes
you'd like to see and how you feel about different topics around cam-
pus. '�
Take a minute to ask the candidates what they plan to do for you.
Take notes and compare their answers. You can, with your vote, make
an individual statement about what matters to you.
Next year, no matter who wins, you can hold that official account-
able to his or her statements. You may even want to attend some SGA
meetings, just to see if you are satisfied with how things are going.
Sometimes it seems like your vote doesn't matter, and that the
elected student leaders have little effect on what happens, but SGA
officials work hard to represent you in all matters at meetings year-
round. They do more for you than you may give them credit for, and you
should care enough to choose the ones you feel may do the best job. If
nobody votes, the students will not be represented in any way to the
Board of Trustees or to Chancellor EakinAny influence we possess as
students will be lost.
Instead of ignoring your opportunity to vote, take it and use it to
improve your world. If you don't like what the candidates stand for,
start a write-in campaign or run for office next year. But don't just
stand there and let the chance to speak out pass you by, and then
complain all year when things aren't the way you want them to be!
OPINION COLUMN
"F"s should be reserved for incompletion
Dorcas A. Brule
OPINION COLUMNIST
The words of my fifth-grade teacher's son
still ring in my ear. One day in class, Mrs.
MacKenzie shared with us the great insights of
her then teenage son. He said that if her stu-
dents had done the work, they should not re-
ceive a grade lower than an "F That "F"s should
be reserved for those who didn't do the work,
or did just half of the job.
Mrs. MacKenzie relayed this story to us, I
think, because she saw the wisdom of her son's
words. She agreed with him, and from that day
forward didn't give another "F" unless a stu-
dent was just so slack that they didn't do their
work.
Speeches like that impress a young mind, and
those words have been with me ever since. I to-
tally agree with this idea. I mean, if I've done a
project and gotten an "F" on it, how does that
separate me from the person that didn't do the
project and received the same grade? It doesn't,
and that isn't fair considering that I at least put
time and effort into the project, even if it wasn't
100 percent correct.
I am certain that my neighbor in my English
3010 class would agree considering the fact that
she recently became the victim of this harsh
reality. Having written the required paper-com-
plete with quotes, cited works and two pages
past the requirement-she received a failing
grade.
I believe that as long as you've put a mea-
surable amount of effort into
the project, you should at least receive the
minimum passing grade. Say you've had to write
an essay that has a word-count requirement. If
you've fulfilled the word-count requirement-not
with nonsense-with actual research and support,
but failed to miss the point somehow, I don't see
why you would deserve an "F Clearly the effort
was there.
If you've missed the point it is only a sign that
you need further assistance with the subject mat-
ter, not that you didn't care enough to put time
and effort into it. By giving the student a grade of
"F" it is discouraging them from trying at all. I
know that it would make me feel like a complete
failure, especially if thought I had turned in a great
essay when it was due.
Instead, I think that teachers should take this
as a sign that the student must need help-yes even
in college a professor should step up to the plate
when they see that a student is having trouble. In
an ideal world every student would be able to write
a wonderful essay by college, but we all know this
isn't an ideal world. That's why students are given
"F"s even when they have completed the work.
"F"s should be reserved for those who are slack
and simply don't care about what they are doing.
"F"s belong to those of us who didn't do the
projectpaper at all, or have wasted the professor's
time with gibberish in a sad attempt to pull some-
thing over on them.

OPINION COLUMN
I don't have the funk
Because my dear boyfriend had paid $30 for
the tickets, and that roughly equates to 5 boxes
of cereal and three gallons of milk in the real world
(in other words, a whole lot of food!), we patiently
wafted for the band to begin, hoping that the
longer wait was a sign that the band to come would
make it worth our while. They say that it is worth
waiting for, but P-Funk was not.
After about 45 minutes of unimpressive runs
up and down the scalesa skill taught to ECU
music students in their first semester of study,
and then they are told never ever to do it again
because it is obnoxious), a bass line that swallowed
the higher melodies (for your own version, stomp
your foot so hard that you can no longer hear
your own voice) and lighting as random as my
typical conversation style, Danny and I left George
Clinton and all the P-Funkers to an evening of
mediocre music and entirely too much attitude.
"We got the funk" instantly conjures images
of stinky, sweaty guys sitting around in a room,
without soap a bottle of cologne anywhere
nearby. It does not however, conjure up images
of a fun-filled and enjoyable concert. As the
evening, and the concert progressed on, I came
to discover that my initial suspicions were right;
I don't have the funk.
Time is of the essence to college students at
the end of the semester, and it was sadly wasted
as George Clinton and the Parliament Funkadelic
took an hour to compose themselves and as-
cend to the stage. You would think that if the
ticket said 8 p.m the band would begin at 8
p.m. Oh, ye who are so naive! The concert be-
gan at 9 p.m. with 10 minutes of college stu-
dents shouting about how enthusiastic they were
abom the funk, and yeah, they all had it.
State of the Student Government Address
. This address was given at
the SGA meeting on April 3.
The ECU Student Government Association
has worked hard for the past two years to up-
hold standards that were bent and fallen long
before many students that now attend ECU were
here. The steadfast effort of the ECU Student
Government Association Executive Council to
improve the SGA will ultimately benefit all stu-
dents.
Our "student voice" has been exercised with-
out compromise. This can be seen in events
throughout the summer, the aftermath of Hur-
ricane Floyd, student fee increases, tuition in-
creases, and the unfortunate dismissal of Dr.
Ron Speier, dean of students. We refuse to al-
low anyone to harm or deter the image that we
have so wholeheartedly worked for.
Over the past two years we have worked hard
to recover what was dissolved by persons who
were out for their own good. There is no place
in the SGA for students with personal agendas.
Being a part of the SGA Executive Council is
more than $400 a month, a nice office space,
new furniture, socials and cocktails. It is a pas-
sion that we, who take it seriously, will never
loose sight of.
The SGA Executive Council sincerely appre-
ciates what the student body has given to us.
We hope that you have been able to see im-
provements and that you continue to respect
the job we do. Students getting paid twice a
month, a simplified funding process, new tran-
sit buses and a newly energized representation
of the student opinion are only a few of our
accomplishments this year.
SGA will continue to play an integral role in
student life. The vice chancellor for Student Life
has made a promise to have more student in-
put on our campus. If you are unsatisfied with
student relations on campus, now is your chance
to voice your concern. You can vote for students
like you, or you can vote for the suit-and-tie
kind of guy, it's your choice. Your future is in
tomorrow's election.
With 14 days left in our administration, we
must remember that it's not what we did, or
how we did it; it's the one student we affected.
We didn't have to affect 18,223 students to be
successful in our positions. What we did try to
do is strive toward making a difference for those
students. If you touch one life, one heart, one
education, then you have done your job.

OPINION COLUMN
Another birthday goes by the wayside
Patrick McMahon
OPINION COLUMNIST
Believe it not, my birthday was Saturday. Yes
I was truly born on April Fool's Day, which may
explain my personality to those of you out there
who despise me, but oh well. Another one down,
too many left to count. Aren't birthdays supposed
to be fun? Not this one. Despite fighting allergies
and a nauseous stomach the whole weekend, I
had a decent celebration Friday and Saturday
night. But the entire while the birthday had me
thinking about the years that have passed and
the years to come.
A long time ago, I had made a promise to
myself that I would go on a road trip to the West
Coast by the time I hit this birthday. Well, that's
one dream left unfulfilled. I also wanted to have
half of my book finished by now but so far I only
have 268 pages typed. That's two strikes�want
to go for three? Oh, yeah. I also had wanted to
have a beautiful girlfriend with lots of money
and even more class. But, swing and a miss. Strike
three, I'm out.
Birthdays are thoroughly depressing. As I
stand here on the brink of my entire life I look
ahead to the future with dim excitement and 10
times more nervousness. Who else will I offend
with my column and articles? Who out there is
waiting for me to walk through the door to give
me that job in the music business that I dream
of? Who out there is waiting for me to marry them
and make beautiful babies? Who out there is
gonna play a role in my demise, whether know-
ingly or not? What kind of man will I become?
Will I become half the man my father is? Will I be
in debt like I am now? Will I be happy?
Questions aside, the future scares the living
spit out of me. I can deal with the past but the
future is just plain scary. It's almost like birth-
days are the harbingers of evil thoughts regard-
ing one's self. They make you think about things
that aren't supposed to be thought about. LJke
death. Like life. Like success. Like failure.
I still have yet to understand why this birth-
day has made me feel so bad because it really
shouldn't have. I should be happy. I am another
year older and supposedly another year wiser,
but I don't feel it. My birthday has put me in a
funk. A day that should be celebrated has turned
into a maelstrom of self-doubt and harsh reali-
ties. The fact that I am writing about this scares
the spit out of me because I 'm trying to figure
out why I constantly need to come to you read-
ers with my problems and hang-ups. To be hon-
est, it's like therapy.
I wish I had some drastically important mes-
sage to spread this week about love, life, happi-
ness and saving neighborhoods from destruction,
but instead I have come to you with my dilem-
mas. Maybe you can help me figure out this
strange and wonderful trip called life. It's hard
enough when you have to go through it alone.

Victor Frankenstein grew up
in Geneva, Switzerland as the
eldest son of a higher class
family. He was brought up with an orphan, Eliza-
beth and also had two younger brothers. He did
not have many friends, Henry Clerval being the
only exception. At the age of 19, Frankenstein be-
came interested in natural philosophy, electricity,
chemistry and mathematics. After the death of his
mother, who succumbed to scarlet fever, Fran-
kenstein left for Ingolstadt, Germany, to attend
university. There, his interest in natural philoso-
phy quickly became an obsession. He was par-
ticularly fascinated with the human frame and the
principle of life.
After four years of fanatic studying, not keep-
ing in contact with his family, he was able to "be-
stow animation upon lifeless matter" and created
a monster of gigantic proportion from assembled
body parts taken from graveyards, slaughter-
houses and dissecting rooms. As soon as the
creature opened his eyes, nowever, the beauty of
Frankenstein's dream vanished: it became a hor-
rible creature. He realized he made a mistake in
creating this monster and fled from his laboratory.
On his return the next day, the monster had
disappeared. On the eve of the return to his pa-
rental home, he received a letter that his young-
est brother had been found murdered. On his
way home, Frankenstein saw the demon he had
created and immediately realized that it is he who
is responsible for his brothe'rs death. Franken-
stein decided not to tell his family about the de-
mon because they would simply dismiss it as in-
sane. As he arrived home, he was informed that
the murderer of his brother had been found. The
accused was Justine, a good friend of the family.
When Justine has been found guilty and has
been hanged, Frankenstein's heart was tortured.
He could not stay in the house and started wan-
dering in the Alpine valleys. There, Frankenstein
was confronted with his creation who tells him his
life story.
. After sharing his experiences, the demon's
Only request from Frankenstein was that he
should create another being: a female to accom-
pany him. If Frankenstein complies, he and his
bade will stay away from other people and keep
to themselves in the wild. Frankenstein saw some
justice in the monster's arguments and also felt
that he has a duty towards his fellow-man, so he
agreed to the daemon's request. Victor left for En-
gland to finish his work accompanied by his friend
Gterval, promising to marry Elizabeth on his re-
turn.
When the work on his second creation was
advanced, he started to question his promise. He
was afraid that they might hate each other, or that
they might produce a whole race of these crea-
tures. When the monster visits to check on the
progress, Frankenstein destroyed his work. The
rhpnster swore revenge and promised to be with
Him on his wedding night. The following day a
body was found and Frankenstein was accused
'�" 6
of inurder. He was taken to the body which he
identified as Henry Clerval. He was eventually
cleared of all charges and returned to Geneva in a
vety bad condition. Frankenstein married Eliza-
beth after promising her to tell her his horrifying
sepret the following day. Remembering the
monster's threat, Frankenstein was convinced
tfjat he would be killed that night. The monster,
however, kills Elizabeth instead. Frankenstein lost
aiipther family member as his father died after
hearing the news about Elizabeth's death. Fran-
kenstein had now lost every sensation except for
revenge. He followed the monster everywhere
which eventually led him to the Arctic region,
where he was taken aboard Walton's ship.
After telling Walton his story, Victor asks him to
kill the monster if he dies before he can do it him-
self. The ship has in the mean time been freed
frpm the ice and pressured by his crew, Walton
h$s decided to abandon his trip and return home.
Victor's health eventually deteriorates and he
dfcs. Just after his death, Walton finds the mon-
ster hanging over Victor's body. The daBmon
speaks of his sufferings. Because of all the mur-
ders he has committed, he now hates himself.
$j�ce his creator is dead, he decides it is time that
tt� too will rest in death. After stating that he will '
tjaild a funeral pile for himself, he leaves the ship
and disappears ?n his ice-raft in the darkness, f

Outdoor dining

Picnic, (Pik'nik): an excursion in which the participants carry food
with them and share a meal in the open air. Although most
people know the definition of a picnic, how many students know
how to do it the right way? For those who are uneducated in
thg fine art of picnicking, here are a few pointers for every-
thing from location to possible entrees.
"The beach, national parks, parks that people can visit or a
grassy area" can serve as the perfect area for a picnic accord-
ing to Beth Credle, the interim director of health education at
ECU Student Health Services.
Picnics are meant to be fun and relaxing but you must also try to
play it safe when planning you picnic. You must be picky to avoid
food-borne illnesses.
"As far as food preparation, I would say that foods that need to be
stored at a colder temperature need to be kept on ice Credle said.
"Watch out for things like mayonnaise and other condiments that can
get too hot and can spoil. Food spoilage would be the biggest
health issue
"Marinated salads and vegetables are good to take, as long
as they are chilled said Marilyn Ogaro, the catering manager
at ECU. "Meats, of course the deli meats are ideal because they
already have preservatives in them and the. fact that they've
already been chilled
Be sure to cook the food at the proper temperature and make sure it
is properly cooled afterwards. Take-out food should be eaten within an
hour and a hall' from purchase. Avoid recipes such as potato salad, cole
slaw and other cold dishes that are prepared with raw eggs. After the
meal, if you think food may have been exposed to unsafe temperature
for too long-throw it away.
Food is best kept in plastic containers. While it's sitting out,
cover it with plastic wrap, aluminum foil or waxed paper to
prevent flies and other potential carriers of diseases from touch-
ing the food.
Another factor to consider when planning a picnic, besides
the obvious food, is the climate for your feast. Picnics cab be
anytime, but certain seasons offer a better atmosphere.
"It's up to the choice of the person. Weather wise, I'd prob-
ably say spring or fall Credle said.
Of course you'll need to bring other items besides food.
"You'll need something to sit on whether it be a blanket or
chairs Ogaro said. "Depending on where you are going, you
might want to bring something to repel the insects
Picnics are ideal for a
family gathering, a friendly
get-away or even a date.
There are many different
recipes that are possible-de-
pending on your own indi-
vidual style and taste.
"Meat items are always
good to take, for instance,
smoked turkey or ham and
cheeses to accompany that
Ogaro said. "And croissants
are always nice whether
you're doing something ro-
mantic or casual
Some of the best ideas for a
picnic are finger foods; they
don't require plates or utensils,
and become a perfecf grab-and-
go snack for the active picnicker.
Hors d'oeuvres such as deviled
eggs, stuffed tomatoes, minia-
ture sandwiches, cheese balls
and ham roll ups are intended
to be served cold, therefore, they
can be made the day before and
refrigerated. This will leave you
more time to relax and enjoy the
day while still serving an array
of bite-sized treats everyone is
sure to enjoy.

Prayer box offers intercession

Stores, the new location of the ECU prayer box, a confidential
outlet for students' most personal prayers, (photo by Emily

The ECU Campus Ministry Association (CMA)
erected a prayer box in Wright Plaza, it is a place
for students to place prayer requests, offering
the ECU community a unique opportunity.
The CMA, an interfaith organization united
by a common belief in God, moral values and
service to others, established the prayer box on
Feb. 17, 2000, so that students have a chance to
communicate their aspirations, concerns and in-
nermost thoughts.
According to Carol Woodruff, ECU Hillel ad-
viser and member of the CMA, this service gives
students the opportunity to offer prayers about
any of their concerns.
"The prayer box seems to be fulfilling an impor-
tant need Woodruff said. "When we open the. box to
collect the prayers prior to the meetings, we consis-
tently find notes and requests
The prayer requests are collected before each CMA
meeting and are read aloud during the meetings by
ministry members who then pray silently on behalf of
the requesters. This innovative program welcomes
prayers of students from all religions and also prayers
of students not belonging to any particular religious
conviction. All prayers are kept confidential and Woo-
druff said that all requests are prayed for, whether they
agree with what is written or not.

Confederate battle flag
controversy rages on
Dorcas A Brule
STAFF WRITER
Confederate battle flag, considered by many to be
a symbol of Southern traditions and the pre-Confed-
eracy lifestyle, is now the hot topic in much of the
South. In Columbia, S.C. a Confederate battle flag flies
on top of the State Capitol Building, leading to a boy-
cott by the NAACP. Some see the flag as a representa-
tion of democracy in action; others feel that its pres-
ence in politics perpetuates racial inequality.
The Confederate flag as we know it today is one of
six flags used during the Civil War.
"The flag that is in question was never the national
flag said David Long, ECU history professor. "It
was just a banner the troops carried into battle
with them.
"The Stars and Bars was actually the national flag
of the Confederacy, and, it is very different from the
battle flag. When people claim the flag was representa-
tive of the Confederacy and slavery, they don't know
what they're talking about. Originally, the only thing
it symbolized was the courage and valor of the Con-
federate soldiers who went into battle and fought for
what they believed in
Following the war, many racist groups used
the battle flag to represent their animosity and
feelings of superiority. The Ku Klux Klan adopted
the flag as a sort of calling card to leave at the
sites of lynchings.
"The flag, to black people, represents slavery
and all of the negative things that happened to
black people because of slavery said Gaston
Monk, president of the Pitt County Chapter of
the NAACP.
Because of tthe way that these racist groups
used the flag as a symbol, the original meaning
has been tainted in the minds of many.
"It has come to be a symbol of racism Long
said.
The flag controversy in South Carolina spawns
from the conflicting views of the flag; is it a sym-
bol of valor or a sign of a racist think-tank?
South Carolina's Capitol Building didn't start fly-
ing the flag until 1962, in the midst of the battle over
integration. In defense, South Carolina govern-
ment offically said that it put up the flag for the
centennial anniversary of the Civil War. But, the
flag did not appear until a full year after the 1961
anniversary.
The NAACP however, takes a different perspective
on the flying of the flag and the significance of the
particular time South Carolina began flying it.
"Obviously it was because the government was
dragging segregation into everything, housing, schools,
etc Monk said. "They hung the flag to say 'we want
to do what we want to do. We are still a Confederate
state, and we want to keep Southern traditions such as
segregation and Jim Crow
Many support the idea that the Civil War was about
resisting the federal government's unconstitutional ef-
forts to subjugate sovereign states. To these believers,
demanding removal of the flag reopens the old wound
of states'rights.
"Well, to be honest, I feel bad about the situation
said Steven Clodfelter, Winston-Salem native. "I agree
that the flag is offensive not only to African Ameri-
cans, but also to those Caucasians who aren't proud of
their own heritage.
However, if South Carolina cannot decide for them-
selves whether or not to fly the flag then where lies
the power vested in statehood?"
Still, those of African-American descent feel that the
flag is a symbol of the oppression that their people
endured for centuries. If the Civil War is viewed as a
fight against slavery, then this view of the flag is com-
pletely justified. Not only does the flag remind people
of the war, but it also reminds them of white-supremacy
events such as attempts at overturning the amendments
granting freedom and rights to African Americans and
Ku Klux Klan involvement.
The NAACP has placed an economic boycott on
South Carolina's tourist industry in an attempt to pres-
sure the state into removing the flag from its capitol
building. In reality, this boycott might, in the end,
have adverse effects on South Carolina's African-Ameri-
can population because they hold a disproportionate
share of service jobs in the state.
"When you start losing money, you get the mes-
sage that we are trying to send because you can't func-
tion Monk said.
The bottom line is that South Carolina can't decide '
what to do with their flag. Georgia and Mississippi :
both found ways around the pesky "Southern pride" i
symbol. In 1894, Mississippi combined their state flag !
with the Confederacy flag, placing it in the up-
per-left corner. Georgia didn't change their flag
until the racial unrest that began in the 1950s. !
The Confederacy flag holds a more prominent !
spot on Georgia's flag. Both states are closely
following the proceedings in South Carolina in :
fear that they might be asked to remove the Con-
federate flag image from their state flags.

from page 6
Bob Leith, a retired ECU professor of indus-
trial technology, constructed and donated the
prayer box. This idea came from the Wake For-
est campus and Scott Wilkinson, pastor of the
ECU Wesley Foundation (Methodist Student Cen-
ter), brought it to ECU.
"I saw something similar done at Wake For-
est and immediately thought that this would be
a wonderful opportunity for the ECU commu-
nity Wilkinson said. "What makes this service
somewhat unique is that we are an interfaith
organization and we invite people.flf all fjBths
and religions to utilize this service.r
According to Ellen Crawford True of the Presbyte-
rian Campus Ministry, the main goal of the prayer
box is for the students to feel comfortable asking for
any kind of prayer, big or small. Students can seek
comfort in a non-threatening environment and ex-
press their personal concerns and problems to
the CMA.
"I think it's an easier way for students to ex-
press concerns and feel the concerns are taken
seriously Crawford True said.
"Students can express, in faith, their troubles, bless-
ings and concerns said Father Tom Bonacci of the
Newman Catholic Student Center.
The CMA consists of 18 members, all representing
different religious groups. They hold meetings twice a
month where they pray for the requests from the prayer
box. According to Woodruff, The CMA is also involved
in different service projects for ECU and the Greenville
community.
The CMA values the ability to fulfill the heart-felt
concerns of students.
"Our goal is to lift the aspiration of prayer of the
student and to give students an outlet Woodruff said.

McCurley earned a doctorate in
political scienc'e from Indiana State

1994.

McCurley said. "I chose political
science because my family was very,

He describes his position as "a
constantly stimulating, usually
challenging, never boring, some
times frustrating job
McCurley feels that the most
rewarding part of his job is the time
he spends in class. He is always ex-

cause not only does he teach, but
he also learns from his students.
"I feel like my students need to

In the political science depart-

public administration instructor.
He teaches classes in American na-
tional politics and voting behavior.
In public adrninistration he teaches
statistics and computer applications.
Also, he sometimes teaches United
States cultural politics.
He-has good relationships with his

He tries to keep his students atten-

some students may find this way of
teaching a bit weird.
Since he started teaching at ECU,
McCurley said he feels he has good
relationships with his colleagues as
well as the students who are under his
instruction.
"When I first came here as a new
teacher, I received a warm welcome
from the faculty and staff members
McCurley said. "They made me feel
like I was a member of the faculty
They respect my independence and
my academic work. They are also
very supportive
Besides the eager students and
helpful staff, McCurley also enjoys
. the continuously changing teaching
environment which he sees as a chal-

Political science is not a static
subject because of a constantly
changing political environment.
Another challenge McCurley enjoys .
is that his teaching skills have to
match the level of interest and abil-
ity of his students.
"If one has a job that is not chal-
lenging and gets bored by his job,
one should stay at home and watch

AIDS.
College student Steve Sawyer, a hemophiliac who contracted HIV and hepatitis
C through unscreened blood transfusions, spoke not long ago to hundreds of
students on our campus. His earthly life ended on March 13, 1999.
Steve faced death with great hope and courage. How? He had come to know
"the greatest love in the universe" (his favorite way to describe God). In place
of battling AIDS with fear, anger and denial, Steve found his life characterized
by peace. Because of his relationship with God, Steve said, "My life took on a
whole new perspective And he knew that if he had reason to be hopeful and
cheerful, anyone could experience that.
So, at only 19 years old, in spite of his imminent death, Steve chose to travel
to hundreds of college campuses to speak to fellow students. With humor,
humility and warmth, he shared with them how they could live with hope, no
matter what life might throw at them. Thousands of students who heard Steve
would tell you that his message changed their lives forever.

SPORTS BRIEFS
Michigan State,
Florida in NCAA
The Florida Gators will play
for their first national champion-
ship on Monday night In the RCA
Dome against the Michigan State
Spartans.
Florida Head Coach Billy
Donovan's 10-man rotation, full-
court press and balanced scoring
worked yet again to help the
Gators In their 71-59 win against
the UNC Tar Heels Saturday. Af-
ter an opening-round scare
against Butler, fifth-seeded
Florida took out higher-ranked
opponents such as Illinois, Duke
and Oklahoma State to reach the
Final Four. m ?.
The Tar Heels, making their
third Final Four appearance in
four years, have lost four straight
national semifinal games, while
this is Florida's second appear-
ance.
Michigan State, who has been
focused on winning the title since
losing to Duke in the national
semifinals last year, beat the Wis-
consin Badgers 53-41 for the
fourth time this season.
The Badgers, who shot only
35 percent (15-42) and had only
one player in double figures,
were one of two No. 8 seeds in
the Final Four. They knocked out
top-seeded Arizona in the second
round and then beat Purdue to
get to Indy.
MSU, the only No. 1 seed to
reach the Final Four, won Its only
national title 21 years ago with
Magic Johnson at point guard,
beating Indiana State and Larry
Bird.
"We just didn't get it done,
Wisconsin Coach Dick Bennett
said. "They're better than us, and

BellSouth Classic
Heavy rain turned bunkers
into beaches on the TPC at
Sugarloaf as Phil Mickelson
made a birdie at the first playoff
hole to deny Gary Nicklaus a
chance to be known for more
than his last name.
Mickelson and Nicklaus, tied
at 11-under 205 after 54 holes,
went to the par-316th for the
sudden-death playoff. Due to
continuous rain, the tournament
had to be cut short using the
same policy it cited when the late
Payne Stewart won the Pebble
Beach National Pro-Am in 1999
after 54 holes.
It was the first time a "final
round" featured only one hole
since the 1997 Mercedes Cham-
pionship when Tiger Woods beat
Tom Lehman in one shot.
Nicklaus, the 31-year-old son
of Jack Nicklaus, has spent the
fast eight years traveling the
globe trying to get out of his .
father's shadow. He finally got his
PGA Tour card and received
$302,400 Sunday.
Mickelson earned $504,000
for his 15th career victory, and
hopefully the confidence to take
over at The Masters.

Lady Pirates shutout Hampton
Softball team keeps
Hampton scoreless
Scotty Childress
STAFF WRITER
The 24th nationally ranked
Lady Pirates defeated Hampton
twice on March 30th, thanks to
their spectacular defensive
play. However, their offense
was sluggish.
Their first game of the after-
noon produced the most excite-
ment on offense in the 1st in-
ning, when Keisha Shepperson
hit a single to get on first base
and then proceeded to steal
second and third, finally being
brought home by Angela
Manzo's single.
Before the inning was done,
Beth Bridger hit a long single
to the left outfield to bring An-
gela in, making the score 2-0,
ECU.
From there, game one of the
double-header was all about
deffnse. Denise Roagan held
Hampton to only one hit the
entire game and struck out 11
batters while Jessica Critcher
and Eva Herron made some
amazing catches to ensure a
win for the Lady Pirates.

Game two saw no improve-
ment offensively for the Lady
Pirates, the lone run coming
from Bridger's home run in the
bottom of the 5th.
"Thanks to great in-field
play, our defensive strength
was the key to our wins today
said Hillary Halpern, the Lady
Pirates' pitcher for the second
game. Both Halpern and
Reagan pitched terrific games
and had tremendous support
in holding Hampton scoreless
through both games from the
outstanding efforts of their
teammates.
"Our defense saved the day.
We did what we needed to do
to win the games said Herron.
With their offensive
efforts virtually nonexistent
through both games, the ladies
compensated with phenom-
enal defensive plays.
"There are three reasons
why our softball team is doing
so well this year said head
coach Tracey Kee. "Outstand-
ing pitching, great defensive
effort, and consistent hitting.
We did not have consistent hit-
ting, today, but our gjrls hung
in there, stayed tough, and did
what they had to do to win the
game
In the Hudson-Hokie Clas-
sic this weekend, the Lady Pi-
rates continued their hitting
woes against the Virginia Tech
Hokies, losing to the Hokies 4-1
in the opening game Friday.
Manzo obtained the lone run for
ECU when she brought honle
Shepperson.
The Lady Pirates were back on
track Saturday against Harvard,
significantly improving their hit-
ting. They earned 10 hits against
Harvard, winning the game 9-7.
Reagan improved her record to
18-1 while allowing one run and
just two hits as the starting
pitcher before being relieved by

Track teams shine at Raleigh Relays
Pirates set two
new school records
Stephen Schramm
SPORTS EDITOR
The ECU men's and
women's track teams took the
short trip two hours west for
the Raleigh Relays last week-
end. The teams set two school
records and the men's 4x400-
relay reached the NCAA pro-
visional qualifying time.
Ayana Coleman, of the
women's team, set a new
school record in the 200-
meter hurdles and qualified
for the ECAC Outdoor Cham-
pionships. Coleman finished
fifth overall with a time of
1:00.18.
"She ran an outstanding
race said head women's track
coach Matt Munson.
Another ECU record was bro-
ken by the 1,600 sprint relay
squad. The team of Rasheca Bar-
row, Carmen Weldon, Martina
Freeman and Lauren Chadwick,
placed 13th with a time of
4:06.89.
Barrow and Weldon also gave
the Pirates some high finishes in
the individual sprint events. Bar-
row qualified for the ECAC in the
100- and 200-meters. In the 100
she placed fifth at 12.4, and in
the 200 she took home 11th
place. Finishing ahead of her in
the 200 was Weldon, who fin-
ished ninth with a time of 24.89.
Weldon also qualified for the
ECAC meet.
ECU's sprinters also made
their mark in the relays. The
4x400-relay team took home
sixth place while the 4x100
placed 12th.
Abby Hayes set a personal
record in the 1,500, with a time
of 4:50.31.
"Abby Hayes did well said
cross country coach. Len
Klepack. "She is learning how
to race. She is learning how to
use her great kick
In the field events, the Pi-
rates were led by their
throwers. Crystal Frye placed
third overall in the shot put
with a toss of 45' 6 12Team-
mate Margaret Clayton placed
13th in the hammer throw with
a distance of 147.11
In the triple jump, Toni
Kilgore placed fourth with a
jump of 40' 2 1 4 In the high
jump, Colleen McGinn placed
fourth with a height of 5' 6 1
For the men, the 4x400-
meter relay team once again
stole the show. The team
reached the NCAA provisional
qualifying time of 3:07.00.
The team of Darrick Ingram,
Damon Davis, James
Alexander and Lawrence Ward
placed second overall with a
time of 3:06.30.
"I expected them to go
3:05 said men's head track
coach Bill Carson. "They went
3:06 and it was a soft track,
not a fast track
The 4x400 "B" team placed
13th in 3:14.09.
"Our 'B' team finished
higher than all the other CAA
teams except Wilmington
Carson said.
The Pirate quarter-milers
were not finished. However,
they provided three of the top
six finishers in the open-400.
Ingram took third, Ward
placed fifth and Davis took
home sixth. In the 400-meter
hurdles, ECU's Lynn Stewart
placed fifth with a time of 52.14
and qualified for the IC4A Out-
door Championships.
In addition to the strong
showing by the sprinters, the Pi-
rates got good performances
from their distance runners.
ECU's Justin England placed
12th in the 10,000-meters,
while teammate Jamie Mance
won his heat in the 5,000.
"They work very hard
Klepack said. "They get about
70 miles a week and they're
hard nosed runners. They al-
ways have a positive attitude
and they don't back off

Tennis teams fall to Old Dominion

STAFF WRITER
The ECU men's and women's
tennis teams were in action last
week facing tough Old Domin-
ion (ODU) teams Wednesday,
followed by a Friday match-up
between the Lady Pirates and
28th-ranked Virginia Common-
wealth (VCU).
The men picked up a hard
fought 5-2 loss knocking their
record to 15-13 and 2-4 in the
CAA. ODU started by winning
the doubles point which gave
them an early advantage and
from there won four out of .six
in singles action. '
"We had good chances to
win at certain spots said head
coach Tom Morris. "It just did

They are a quality, ranked team
that we held up against. We are
starting to establish ourselves
in matches with quality teams
ODU was able to pull out
most of the close matches keep-
ing the Pirates from gaining
momentum.
"I think there is a good
chance that we can beat them
if we meet in the conference
championships said tennis
player Michael Huez. "Going
into the match we expected
them to be very good, but when
we actually played them we
were close in most of the
matches and actually lost a win-
nable match
The Lady Pirates also picked
up a loss falling 6-0 against a
veteran ODU squad.
"We lost four really tough
matches Morris said. "They
were just older and more expe-
rienced than us, but we played
well. We are playing a tough
stretch of matches and this one
was good for us to play
The women were in action
again the following Friday
against 28th-ranked VCU in a
match that the Lady Pirates see
as a learning experience. VCU
was able to win the match 5-1
with the lone singles victory
coming from sophomore An-
drea Terrill.
"It's a good learning ex-
perience said captain Asa
Ellbring. "This is a team we can
watch to see what we can im-
prove. They are more consis-
tent than we are, they know ex-
actly where to put the ball when
they have the opportunity

The Lady Pirates fell to 14-5
for the year in what is still shap-
ing up as one of the best seasons
the program has ever had.
Terrill finished a long match
with her teammates cheering her
on to win. The Lady Pirates have
grown close over the season, mak-
ing them able to endure tough
losses such as this one.
"Our team is a lot closer than
VCU Terrill said. "It had a huge
effect on my win today to have
my team behind me like that. The
most important thing going into
tough matches is being a team

mond Spiders and then N.C. Stare

STUDENTS AND TRANSPORTATION
Parking and Transportation is a major conceam of fac-
ulty and students alike. At parking and traffic meetings,
proposals which determine the fate of the students are
made. These proposals are passed without much resistance
due to the lack of students presant. For example, at this
past meeting, a proposal was passed that will cause fresh-
men and sophomores living off campus to be unable to buy
commuter stickers. ECU is a growing campus and needs as
much student input as possible. Have your voice heard
and come to the next meeting on APRIL 20th at 3:00 p.m. in

$MONEY$
S.G. A. decides what organizations and groups get

year, think to the future, and say where YOU want YOUR
money to go.
AROUND ECU
The S.G.A. of ECU has been extremely active in the
community as well as on campus. Recently S.G.A. mem-
bers volunteered for the Special Olympics. SiG.A. also
raised money through a penny drive, which was donated
for the Special Olympics.
