ROTC team earns
second place
SHANNON DAVIS
STAFF WRITER
Ten cadets from the ECU
ROTC program competed in the
F.astern Region ROTC Fourth
Brigade's Ranger Challenge at
Fort Pickett, Va from Oct. 27-29.
The team placed second overall
among 19 participating colleges
and universities from Virginia
and North Carolina. Participating
schools included UNC, NCSU, NC
A&T and Campbell University.
Virginia Military Institute fin-
ished in first place.
The Ranger Challenge features
the best cadets from participating
schools. It covers eight events,
which are the Army physical fit-
ness test, basic rifle marksman-
ship, construction and execution
of a one-rope bridge, patrolling,
weapon assembly, orienteering, a
hand grenade assault course and
a 10-kilometer road march. The
ECU team finished first among
all teams in physical fitness, BRM
and orienteering.
The Ranger Challenge plays
an important role in furthering
cadets' development as leaders and
future Army officers. .
Aaron Olson, a junior nurs-
ing major, was among the cadets
chosen to participate in the Ranger
Challenge. He attributed their suc-
cess to their teamwork and spirit.
"We had great team effort he
said. "We had awesome trainers
to support us. The captains that
helped us are seniors in the ROTC.
Since first place went to VMI,
ECU is the North Carolina state
champions for the competition
The Ranger Challenge occurs
once a year during the fall semes-
ter. The competition takes months
to prepare for; participants begin
their training in the beginning of
the semester. Tryouts for anyone
interested to be on the Ranger
Challenge team begin the first
week of the semester. Cadets
have to prove their competency of
land navigation, do well in their
physical training and always be
in attendance to take part in the
competition. Due to the restricted
number of people allowed to be on
the team, it is a rigorous process to
choose who is most eligible.
Olson reported that the ECU
ROTC cadre assured that the

Wounded marines speak out
in honor of Veteran's Day
Sponsored by Students
for the Defense of
Democracies
ADELINE TRENTO
STAFF WRITER
In an effort to show support for
the U.S. military and honor veter-
ans, the Students for the Defense
of Democracies hosted a speaker
from the Wounded Warriors
Organization yesterday, Nov. IS
Lt. Col. Thomas C. Sieben-
thal, the Officer in Charge of the
Injured Support Unit, spoke to
ECU students and faculty as part
of Veterans Appreciation Day.
Siebenthal, along with a
few soldiers from the Wounded
Warrior Barracks, spoke to stu-
dents about the barracks and the
Wounded Warriors Organization.
The Wounded Warrior Bar-
racks, which are located at Camp
Lejeune, N.C offer emotional and
physical support to injured marines.
The barracks allow wounded
marines to share their experiences
and connect with others going
through the same recovery process.
Siebenthal said the Wounded
Warrior Barracks give the injured
marines a place to heal with
other soldiers going through the
same ordeal. By being around
other wounded marines, the sol-
diers have a chance to share sto-
ries and open up about fears
which helps them to recover.
The goal of the organization is
to help the injured soldiers transi-
tion out of the military or return
to active duty with a higher moral.
Siebenthal also spoke to stu-
dents about the importance of
honoring and remembering vet-
erans of the U.S. military. He
believes that everyone should
show appreciation for veterans no
matter what their political views.
"On a personal level I would like
to thank all of our past as well as
present soldiers Siebenthal said.
The Students for the Defense
of Democracies sponsored this
event to encourage students
to stand behind our military
and remember U.S. veterans.
"We feel that regardless of
one's political affiliation it is nec-
essary to steadfastly support the
U.S. military said Chris Federici,
Vice President of the Students
for the Defense of Democracies.
"Everyday, U.S. soldiers put
their ideological beliefs aside
and risk their lives to serve their
country. We wanted to recog-
nize that courage and honor
those who have served, been
wounded or killed
Joel Carter, President of
the Students for the Defense of
Democracies, believes that this
was a very beneficial speech for
students to hear. Carter said that
these speakers, some of which were
wounded soldiers, are what Veter-
ans Appreciation Day is all about.
"A lot of times people dismiss
the soldiers because of political
issues, but the root of this holiday is
to honor our soldiers said Carter.
Carter, as well as many
members of the Students for the
Defense of Democracies, hope that
the speakers from the Wounded
Warriors Organization have
made students more patriotic and
shown them why it is important
to support and honor our soldiers.
"Personally I feel that patrio-
tism is extremely important in
times like this in the world
said Carter. "There are a lot of
conflicts around the world, and
I feel we must come together as
Americans before we can actively
fight any other situation. Patrio-
tism can unite us all because this
is our country, our freedom
Next semester, the Students
for the Defense of Democracies
plan to host a policy debate that
will stimulate discussions about
terrorism, defense and security.

Ranger Challenge team was well
fed by cooking hot dogs and com-
mented that they were an encourag-
ing group of people who maintained
positive attitudes throughout the
weekend. The cadre consisted
of Col. Donaldson, Maj. Mcln-
tosh, Sgt. Hill and Capt. Herbert.
According to Olson, there were
two freshmen who were a part of
the team.
"There wasn't ever any com-
plaining Olson said. "It was
always a light atmosphere despite
everyone busting their butts to
do well. We wanted to make sure
everyone felt like friends, especially
the freshmen. It's always nice to
know that you're a part of a team
This was an opportunity for
the participants to use the skills
they learned at their field train-
ing exercises to create a bond that
would help them move through the
challenge smoothly as a team.
This was the second time in four
years that ECU earned second place
at the Ranger Challenge. The cadets
demonstrated leadership and team-
work, which helped them excel beyond
the other participating universities.

ECU program benefits
children in rural schools
COLRS Program seeks to
place media specialists
in rural N.C. schools
ELISA BIZZOTTO
STAFF WRITER
The Department of Library
Science and Instructional Tech-
nology in the College of Edu-
cation awarded its first Com-
munity Oriented Librarian
Recruitment Scholarships to
eight students working toward
their Masters in Library Science
through the all-online degree
program at ECU on Friday, Nov. 3.
The COLRS, which were
awarded to the students in Joyner
Library, seek to fulfill the growing
need for licensed media specialists
within rural schools through-
out eastern North Carolina.
Dr. John Harer and Dr. Larry
White, who co-developed and
co-direct the COLRS program,
acknowledged the predictions of
researchers who claim that over
the next 15 to 20 years 40,000 to
50,000 library media specialists
will retire in the United States.
Only about half of those posi-
tions will be filled by graduates
coming out of library schools.
"Literally half the positions
could go unfilled so our purpose
is to recruit school librarians
into the profession said Harer
of his and fellow LSIT faculty
member Dr. White's motivation.
LSIT has been awarded the
largest grant of its kind in the state
of North Carolina at $737,000.
The grant was awarded by
the Federal Institute of Museum
and Library Services to fund
the COLRS Program, allowing
45 scholarships to be awarded
over the next three years.
"This grant will allow librar-
ians to continue working in
their communities while going
to school to become licensed
media specialists White said.
"It also allows school districts
in rural areas to have licensed
media specialists on staff that
they may not otherwise be able
to recruit
In addition to earning a degree
through the LSIT department, the
recipients have to become licensed
media specialists upon earning their
degree and commit to a job in a rural
North Carolina school.
According to Harer because
school libraries are changing with
newly developed technology, librar-
ies today require staff who are able to
utilize as well as teach others to use
electronic resources such as the Web.
I n addition to that, they are gear-
ing the scholarships toward those
pursuing positions in rural school
systems because generally those
positions are more difficult to fill
This year's recipients include
Jill Rene' Bateman-Whitson from
Snow Hill, Daneika Shontell
Bynum from Wilson, Milton R.
Dail, Jr from Washington, Brandi
Caviness Dowd from Carthage,
Laura A. Hiles from Southern
Pines, Gail Holloman Holmes
from Greensboro, Teresa A.
Mullen from Raleigh and Kimberly
Allen Townsend from Greenville.
"Most of our recipients and
most of our students in our
program are late 20s through
early 40s in age and are usu-
ally teachers or people with a
Bachelor's degree and have done
some sort of career first, and this
is a second career said Harer.
"We were very pleased with
all of the recipients and with
the quality of the recipients
The next application review
will be Feb. 15, and Harer and
White have plans to award up to
17 scholarships by March 1 for the
2007 fall semester.

Student fees to
rise once more
All student fee proposals
approved by the SGA
congress
KIMBERLY BELLAMY
SENIOR WRITER
All of the fee increases that
were proposed were approved by
members of congress at the con-
gressional meeting on Monday.
The congress didn't oppose
any of the fees but the amounts
of the fee increases are now lower
than initially expected.
The maximum amount that
could have been approved was
about $236. A total of $215 was
approved for fee increases for the
2007-2008 academic year.
The main areas of the univer-
sity that will benefit from these
increases are the Athletics, Edu-
cation and Technology, Health
Services, Campus Wellness and
Recreation, Ledonia Wright Cul-
tural Center, University Unions
and Mendenhall Student Center.
These increases will fund things
such as money for equipment and
travel for all athletic teams, the
continuation of legal services to
students, funding for computer labs
and ACE technicians, continuation
of counseling and health care to stu-
dents, and the funding to promote
and advertise programs and events
sponsored by the Ledonia Wright
Cultural Center.
New developments will also be
made with the funding provided
from these increases in various areas.
Under the University Unions,
the Media Board was allotted
money through this increase to
hire more student staff and to
create a campus television station.
A portion of the money that
will be allotted to Campus Well-
ness and Recreation will go
towards establishing the North
Recreational Complex.
This complex will be a massive
129 acre park that will have numerous
sports fields, lakes and other ath-
letic facilities needed to house state,
national, and regional competitions.
A major factor in the reasoning
of these increases was due to the
increase in minimum wage from $5.15
to $6.15, and the need to efficiently
pay student and professional staff.
Stephanie Coleman, of the
financial division of SGA said,
"When the state mandates salary
increases, the student fees pay
these increases
Many faculty members from
each one of these eight different
divisions of the university attended
the meeting and represented why
these increases were needed.
Skip Holtz, head football coach,
Dr. Corey King, assistant vice
chancellor of student experiences,
and Peter Romary, director of
student legal services were among
the, many faculty members that
presented points on why specific-
fees should be approved.
Anotheroneofthemain reasons
presented in the meeting for the
increase was to try to continue to

Cancer patients test theory at
the gym
(AP) Six months ago you
couldn't have paid Gretchen Hoag
to go to a gym. Radiation and che-
motherapy treatments for breast
cancer had robbed her of her hair,
and the idea of being seen in public
like that was repellent.
"I would not have felt comfort-
able said Hoag, 46, who lives in
Chapel Hill.
But today, Hoag is an eager
participant in a new program at
the University of North Carolina
at Chapel Hill that hopes to more
firmly establish regular exercise as
an effective treatment for common
and debilitating side effects of
breast cancer therapy, includ-
ing pain, fatigue, depression and
anxiety.
Three times a week, Hoag
visits a small fitness center in the
Women's Gym at UNC, where she-
works out ith a personal trainer.
She follows up the exercise sessions
with recreational therapy, includ-
ing biofeedback, designed to help
her maintain emotional balance
and learn to relax deeply.
SGA
Exercise programs for cancer
patients are still relatively rare.
For now, there are still too many
unanswered questions about what
types of exercise and recreational
activity are most effective, and how
much is needed for the patient to
see a benefit, said Battaglini, who
hopes soon to launch a third exer-
cise program working with lung
cancer patients.
"We want to understand the
efficacy of our program he said.
"That's what the physicians are
looking for
Group raising funds to keep
historic mill in Stokes County
(AP) Every now and then,
Krank Blount and Charles Parnell,
the owners of Sheppard's Mill,
get the old machinery wheels of
the two-story mill turning. The
machines whir to life as the smell
of old belts and dust fills the air.
But the sounds of times past
are incomplete. There's no clat-
ter from the old automatic sifter,
no rumble from the granite and
French buhr millstones.
Sheppard's Mill, built by Calla
Hill Sheppard in 1904, remains
intact but is inactive. The mill
produced cornmeal, flour, rye
flour and feed until the 1950s
when Sheppard died and Hurricane
Hazel washed away the wooden
dam.
Dunlap's wife, Patti, is on the
historical society's steering com-
mittee that is heading up the effort
to keep the mill in Stokes. Dunlap
says he would also like to help.
"We're trying to preserve
it, and I hope we can do what's
necessary to see that it stays just
like it is, and it be here for years
to come so that other generations
can see what this is about he said.
"We're very happy to work toward
that goal
The committee plans to meet
again soon.
"The primary reason we're
here is to try to get funding to,
purchase the mill Farlow said.
"If these other people buy it, the
state's going to lose this mill.
Stokes County, the region, the
state of North Carolina's going to
lose one of its real treasures.
"It's time to either fish or cut
bait, as the old men say, and we'd
like to fish
continued from Al
establish ECU as a top notch school.
Dustin Pittman, SGA con-
gressman said, "Competitiveness
and cooperation are two of the
things that these fees will help the
university achieve
A $150 debt service fee will
also take effect to pay for the
remodeling of Mendenhall and the
Ledonia Wright Cultural Center.
A set fee increase has been
proposed for tuition of $96 for all
students including in-state and
out-of-state students.
The Transit division didn't
seek funding because of their
partnership with the six apartment
complexes which they provide
transportation to.
The Housing and Dining divi-
sion will provide an informational
session at the congressional meet-
ing next Monday to explain how
they will be funded.
All of the funding approved at
the meeting is only final after it
goes to the Board of Trustees and
the Board of Governors for review
and voting.

CLAIRE MURPHY
ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR
The music I listen to significantly shapes who
I am. I'm not saying I won't hang out with people
who are into anything different than me. I'm actu-
ally drawn particularly to people who are different.
I just want someone to get the same feeling out of
music that I do. It's an amazing experience.
Have you ever listened to a song and literally
felt it in your heart? If you have, then it doesn't
matter what artists you listen to. The point is to
fall in love with a song and let it take over you for
a few minutes.
If you're into the indie or hardcore scene, rock
on! Take the time to download Bright Eyes or t
Every Time I Die (whom the title of this article $
is from). Either or both will melt your face off, I
can pretty much promise you that. If not, I chal-
lenge you to find an artist or group that you can
be obsessed with. I have a few of my own.
There's a lot of good acoustic out there too.
I find that to be easy to get into. Country seems
to tell stories that are of no interest to me, not to
mention I can't stand the country-ness of it all
anyway. I do consider myself open-minded, but I
have nearly ruled out that entire genre. However,
I respect people who can be in love with it.
Music that moves you can be very therapeu-
tic, especially if you sing or play an instrument
yourself. It drags you in. Maya Angelou once said,
"Music was my refuge. I could crawl between the
space between the notes and curl my back to loneli-
ness If you've heard a song that changes you, you
know what she's talking about. When you play one
of your favorite songs, you never feel quite alone.
It's similar to the effects of reading a good book.
I suggest you do that as well.
This week, take the time to get lost in a song.
See if it makes you feel like a different person.
Music can open your eyes, and ears to anything.

This statement was found under the Academic
Advising link on ECU's Web site. When I first read
it, I burst out laughing.
Let me start off by telling you my experience
with ECU's finest. I went in like any other student
to talk to my advisor about what classes I should
take and to receive my registration code. All was
fine, and the day of registration I was quite excited
about registering for a new semester of classes.
So on Nov. 6 at 11 a.m. I logged on to Onestop,
selected all the classes I wanted to register for, and
then watched my computer for an hour trying to
register through the blessed "Opal
After calling my advisor, talking to a quite rude
secretary, and leaving a message never be returned, I
was a bit mad at the world, more specifically the advis-
ing center. So I called back two hours later, finally
getting my advisor on the phone, just for her to tell
me that oops, she forgot to let me know that since I
live off campus I had to come on campus to register.
So, after thanking my advisor who's job is to
"guide, serve and support" me for letting me in
on that little secret, I got in my car and headed
off to Minges to get on the bus. When finally
arriving at the library, I registered for my classes
in less than five minutes or so I thought.
Just when sunshine started to brighten
my gloomy day, Opal informed me that the
classes my advisor told me to sign-up for were
for majors only and required pre-requisites
that she should have known I hadn't taken.
So, I marched across campus to the advising
center, just to find out that my advisor had just
left for lunch. So, after the secretary yelling at me
because she didn't understand my problem, I waited
an hour and a half for my advisor to brilliantly guide
me through my problems once again.
I was watching a senior girl who was about to
cry because she couldn't get in to the classes she
needed to graduate being yelled at by the secretary,
who offered no help except to tell other advisors her
problem in a condescending way and laughing at her
after she left. Then I finally went in.
So my advisor happily told me she forgot to
declare my major on the computer the last time I
was here. So one problem is fixed, what about the
chemistry class I can't get into? So this advisor
who is trying to "foster professional success and
responsible citizenship" in me, sends me to a room
number that doesn't exist, in a building that doesn't
have anything related to chemistry.
After roaming the halls there, I finally was told the
right place to go, and talked to someone who wasn't an
advisor, but who should get an "Advisor of the Year"
award. She didn't have a rude secretary, she knew
what she was talking about, didn't forget to tell me
any important information, and she genuinely cared.
Finally, my problems were worked out, and I
ended up taking only three of the classes my advisor
advised me to take, simply because the rest weren't
necessary for me to graduate.
So, the advising center may not guide and sup-
port me, but let me say thank you to the rude secre-
tary and my not-so-helpful advisor because you guys
have helped me to be more responsible for my own
classes, so much that my Undergraduate Catalog
and I have become best friends.
I'm sure there are some good advisors some-
where at ECU, and if you are reading this, please
come find me so that I know that there is some good
left in this unintelligent and quite rude world.
You would think my sorority
would have been nicer to me
considering I was one of the only
skinny, pretty girls they had. Oh
well guess they're just jealous.

little cancer stick.
A suggestion for the "service"
sorority who finished their keg
in 18 minutes, spend more
time doing your "services" in
the community and less time
bragging about your beastliness
andor alcoholic tendencies.
It is people like you who make
our "regular" sororities get bad
reputations. Have some class!
I will put money down on the fact
that your service sorority did not
finish a keg in 18 minutes. You
big fat liar. I have 18 minutes of
free time and would love to see
you do it again.

I would like to take this moment
to rant about how awesome
our military is. In a recent

the best educated military in
the world. 99.3 percent have
graduated from high school. Of
non-commissioned officers, 97
percent have a college degree.
So screw you, Kerry.
My eyes are bigger than my

Girls please start talking to me.
I didn't know floral patterns and

I love how sororities try to take
a stand for not being a bunch of

friends; but then someone goes
and talks about being "hard core"
by saying they can drink a keg in
18 minutes. And ya'll wonder why
so many have little respect.
I bet $50 Pirate Bucks we beat

I was at the Galley on the Hill

Good job Democrats. You
succeeded in tipping the scales
in the Senate and in the House
of Representatives. But, don't
consider this a victory. You
didn't vote for the candidates,
you merely voted against the
republicans.
I am in college. So why are most
of my classes still treating me like
I am in high school?
I thought I belonged to a
sisterhood. Apparently, I
belonged to a bunch of stealing,
lying girls who thought they were
better than everyone else. Guess
what? You're not and I'm a hell of
a lot cooler than you.
The reason service sororities
have socials still is because you
don't have a governing board at
ECU like Panhellenic or IFC. So
enjoy while you can they'll crack
down on you too, just wait.
I want it to snow already!
I'm not sure if I love you yet, but
I know that I 3 you.
Butterfly in the sky, I can go twice

So, is anyone else considering
contacting that mail-order
Russian bride that e-mailed
everyone in the school?
I hope the Democrats enjoy
their terms because most of the
American people will realize how
they just made everything so
much worse and put Republicans
back into office.
Talk about corruption - dead
people voted for the Democrats.

Dear Jane,
I have gained the freshman 16 and the semester
is not even over. I eat healthy and don't snack on
junk like most of ray friends, but they're not gain-
ing weight, I am. I just want to be in shape the way
I was back in high school. I never had to work out
then and suddenly I'm this fat person that I don't
even recognize. Does ECU put weight-gaining
stuff in their food or what? I just don't sic why this

Signed,
Gaining weight for nothing
Deaf Gaining,
Ahh the dreaded freshman 15. If you want to shed
tlio.se unwanted pounds, you'll need to navigate the
dining halls with caution. Choose healthy foods, avoid
second trips to the buffet line and limit your desserts
Try not to eat late at night or in front of the TV, you
can lose track of how much you consume. Also don't
skip meals even if you're in a rush, it will cause your
metabolism to slow down. Exercise as much as possible
-ifyou live in a dorm with an elevator, start taking the
stairs. Speed walk to and from class, and make extra
loops around the mall if you have time. Try signing
up for some classes at the Rec in your spare time, and
squeeze in those extra trips to the gym no matter
how unmotivated you feel Work on your posture too,
which will make you appear and lee more slender
while strengthening your core Drink tons of water,
and cut out any sodas and sweet teas (as addicting
as they are). Kinally, watch your alcohol intake. Beer
makes people bloat up, no doubt about it. Good luck.

Breakthrough
election results
Minority voters and candidates win big
JUSTIN SUMMERS
OPINION WRITKK
v
Iast Tuesday people made it to the polls in large num-
bers to cast their votes i n the midterm elections. If you have
been hiding in a closet and don't know already, 1 am glad
to inform you that the Democrats have regained control of
both the House and Senate in a remarkable turn-around.
Last week's elections were remarkable in the fact that
both Democrats and Republicans mobilized to express
their dissatisfaction with the current state of things
and, in record numbers, they effectively gave some long
awaited change to a failing Congress.
One of the more impressive things about this election
was the impact minority voters had and the success of
minority candidates in key states.
The crucial African American vote won three Senate
seats. In key states like Virginia, Massachusetts and
Rhode Island, black voters turned out in record numbers
to vote and make their impact. In the past two elections
African American voters have struggled with enormous
lines at voting stations due to lack of voting machines
and overall enfranchisement of their votes, but this
year they truly made a difference. Latinos also assembled
in large numbers in states like Texas, New Mexico and
California and tallied over two million votes nationwide.
In addition to the minority vote, young adults also
turned out in record numbers to cast their ballots. For
the second major election in a row, 18 to 29-year-olds
increased their voter turnout. In 8008, eight million 18
to 29-year-olds cast ballots and on Tuesday we saw 10
million go to the polls, so there was a two million vote
increase. Overall, this shows that there is a trend of
increasing voter participation among young adults and
that we are a very important part of the electorate and
politicians need to pay attention to us.
More surprising than the increased turnout of
young and minority voters was the success of minority
candidates. In Massachusetts, Deval Patrick became the
state's first African American governor; he is only the
second elected black governor in the nation's history.
In Minnesota, Democrat Keith Ellison was elected
as the first Muslim to serve in Congress. This is a huge
accomplishment for Ellison because he is not only going
to be the first Muslim in the House of Representatives,
but also Minnesota's first non-white representative.
In Vermont there was another landmark victory
and a first for the nation when voters elected Inde-
pendent Bernie Sanders to become the country's first
self-described socialist to be elected to the U.S. Senate.
When asked, "What do you mean, socialist'?" He said
he believes "government has got to play a v ery important
role in making sure that as a right of citizenship, all of our
people have health care; that as a right, all of our kids,
regardless of income, have quality childcare, are able
to go to college without going deeply into debt; that it
means we do not allow large corporations and moneyed
interests to destroy our environment; that we create a
government in which it is not dominated by big money
interest. I mean, to me, it means democracy, frankly
Which sounds good to me.
According to Mr. Bush, Democratic control of
Congress means, "the terrorists win and America
loses I think if anything, these elections show America
has not lost, but rather won an amazing victory for
minorities and every American man, woman and child,
Join up today
A chance to make a difference, and
the choice is yours
SEAN PETERSON
OPINION WRITER
Have you ever had an opinion on something and felt it
would drastically change something for the better? Have
you ever hail that opinion ami see something become
worse because you did not speak up soon enough? Do
you have a sudden urge to get involved on campus,
but cannot decide what your interests might focus on?
I feel that the Student Government Association is
the best opportunity for the common student on campus
to make his or her voice heard. It gives students the
opportunity to change things on campus. Any organiza-
tion on campus for that matter would do the trick. It is
all about taking the initiative to go out and find what
you want to do.
I stopped by the SGA office in Mendenhall Student
Center on Thursday. I am in a fraternity and felt that I
needed to get involved on campus in hopes of strength-
ening myself as a person and to further the name of
my fraternity in a positive manner. I was asked what 1
wanted to do on campus. 1 had a tew ideas run across
my mind, but one idea that kept coming back to me. I
wanted to help the Greek system on campus improve
in all of its areas. I was put into the Elite Leadership
program. The program gives me the opportunity to
build a foundation to work upon.
Say you have a keen interest in changing the way
our university promotes health education and aware-
ness You could join the Elite Leadership program and
promote what you want to do through a committee. You
can take any interest you have in our university and help
shape it by joining a student organization.
Granted, every enrolled student at ECU is a part of
S( i.V Everyone has the opportunity to make a difference.
You ultimately choose if you want to hold a specific posi-
tion where you have the chance to help shape student life
exclusively. If the SGA is not for you, perhaps you could
join College Ambassadors or Campus Crusade for Christ
1 teel that being active at this university is important
because there are issues on campus that I am sure many
students are not happy about. Some of these issues are
the increasing student tuition, improving Greek lite
anil breaking stereotypes. You can go to the meet-
ings they have for these issues and voice an opinion
because the university needs everybody's opinion to
better understand how our university should be con-
ducted. You get rnit of ECU what you put into ECU.
If you have an interest in something and an organi-
zation like the SGA doesn't have a position tor it already,
you can start it up. It will look great on your resume
and give you the feeling of responsibility you have lacked
since coming to college.
So, get out there and make your voice heard. Join
any organization on campus w hen you have the chance.
You never know what opportunities await you.

MTV journalist offers cultural lessons
What you missed from Gideon
Yago's appearance
LIZ FULTON
SENIOR WRITER
Despite a hearty advertising push from the
student union and university publications, a dismal
crowd filled the seats of Mendenhall for MTV
journalist Gideon Yago.
Expecting to be packed into the auditorium
like sardines with girls waving posters (or pos-
sibly underwear) at the undeniably handsome
on-air personality. I was quite stunned that there
were more people clamoring outside for the start
of whatever movie Mendenhall was presenting
that night
As a communication student who is deeply
concerned with media and its relation to the war
and current events, 1 was expecting an open-ended
discussion on journalists' coverage of the current
Bush administration and the role of 24 hour news
channels in public opinion.
Instead, I received a slightly patronizing lec-
ture on how the "echo boom generation" (us) is
disenfranchised and how the necessity of voting
could change all of that.
Clad in jeans and a blazer, the unshaven Yago
delivered his message from a sleek IBook, a neces-
sity for all badass reporters. It would be petty of
me not to note Yago's coverage of 911, the 2004
presidential election and his documentaries in
Kuwait and Baghdad and his ability to appeal to
younger viewers.
Presented in the format of "True Life" and
"Diary viewers were "tricked into watching
Yago offered students an entertaining, informative look at journalism.
something" that seemed familiar but was also
educating the public.
Yago also conveyed his dissatisfaction with
MTV and its programming choices. Follow-
ing 911, the network had broadcasted pieces
involving key players in the tragedy including
Osama bin Laden and American relationships
with the Middle East. However, as time passed
and America longed "to care about meaningless
bullshit again MTV resumed its programming
of shows like "Laguna Beach" and "Jackass
At the conclusion of Prophet Yago's speech,
he delivered his hope that our generation would
soon become enfranchised. Citing our use of
technology and the ability to connect with each
other, Yago posed the question, "What will
spark the change from passivity and insulation
to actual participation?"
He continued by saying that there are 52
million of us in America, outnumbering the baby
boomer generation by five million. Trying to
inspire change, he remarked on our dedication
to products and consumerism while hoping we'd
find another issue more important.
Despite Yago's thinly veiled arrogance and
barely tolerable attitude of those in attendance,
the evening was not a total loss. It is clear that
Yago has good intentions and wishes to rally
his generation into caring about something
other than material things. I just hope that next
time there will be more discussion and less of
a rehashing of all the great things Yago has
accomplished.

Mononucleosis
Ledonia Wright Cultural Center offers a variety of opportunities to appreciate and understand cultural differences
Dialogue about diversity
Roundtable discussions help
educate students about cultural
issues
STACY DAIL
STAFF WHITER
With all the talk about racism and discrimina-
tion going on around ECU'a campus these days,
the Ledonia Wright Cultural Center has decided to
stamp out hate by educating students about different
cultural issues on a monthly basis.
This month, the topic that will he discussed is
Native American culture Students and faculty, some
of whom are Native Americans, will be discussing
Native American history as well as the things that
this culture faces in today's society and on our
campus.
The event will be held this Thursday from fi-7
p.m at the Ledonia Wright Cultural Center. Stu-
dents are encouraged to come out, learn and discuss
Native American culture.
"We are really excited about this event. Basically
we want students to really embrace the cultures dn
this campus and to know that the cultural center is
here for everyone, and they are all invited to come
out and learn said Shannon Mulvancy, graduate
assistant at the center.
"Dialogue on Diversity" is the name of the
series that the cultural center will he featuring each
month. Last month's topic focused on international
students and how they adapted to changes upon
arriving at ECU.
The event will be set up like a roundtable discus-
sion where students will have the opportunity to ask
questions and discuss anything related to culture or,
in the case of this month, Native American current
news and history.
The Ledonia Wright Cultural Center also took
part in ECU'S recent Hate Out Week, which showed
students the importance of being tolerant and under-
standing of different races and cultures.
During this week's discussion, events from Hate
Out week will be tied in and discussed specifically
among Native American life on our campus and
community.
The center first opened on ECU'S campus
in 1995 and was named after Ledonia Wright,

Mono can be contracted from everyday places such as a water fountain
Not just a kissing
disease
see DIVERSITY page A5
SHANNON DAVIS
STAFF WRITER
Mononucleosis, also known as
"mono is an infection caused by
the Epstein-Barr virus. Mono is
not spread as easily as some other
viruses, such as the common cold.
The mono virus is found in saliva
and mucus. One common way to
catch mono is by kissing someone
who has been infected, which is
how the illness got its nickname.
If a person has never been infected
with the Epstein-Barr virus, then
intimate kissing with someone
who is infected can put him or
her at greater risk for contracting
the disease.
Mononucleosis can be trans-
ferred through other types of
direct contact with saliva from
someone infected with the virus,
such as by sharing a straw or an
eating utensil. A harmless cough
can also transmit the virus, which
means you can contract it from a
complete stranger. Some people
who have the virus in their bodies
never have any symptoms, but it is
still possible to contract the virus
from them.
Signs of mono usually develop
four to six weeks after a person has
been exposed to the virus. Mono
is most common among people 15
to 35 years old because this age
bracket is typically the most active
with kissing more than one partner.
Signs of mono include fever,
sore throat, headaches, white
patches on the back of your throat,
swollen glands in your neck, feel-
ing tired and loss of appetite.
The most serious concern
with mono is that the spleen will
enlarge and even rupture. The
spleen is a large gland, which is
located in the upper left side of
the abdomen. The major function
of the spleen is to filter blood
through the body.
Though a ruptured spleen
is rare in people with mono, it
is important to be aware of the
signs because internal bleeding
can lead to death. Signs of a rup-
tured spleen include pain in the

Take a seat initiative
SHANNON DAVIS
STAFF WRITER
On Thursday, Nov. 16, stu-
dents across America are going
to "take a new seat" during their
lunch breaks in celebration of the
fifth annual Mix It Up At Lunch
Day This project was designed to
foster respect and understanding
in schools and communities.
The purpose of the event
is to incourage students
to meet new people in differ-
ent categories or cliques, and
to get to know them better.
Students across the U.S. are
urged to have lunch with other
students outside their immedi-
ate circle of friends. The event
is designed to break down social
boundaries at schools. Now here on
college campuses are the bound-
aries of group membership more
obvious than in and around the
dining halls
"Our country is still divided 3,
along lines of race, ethnicity, class S
and tiie like said Mix It Up Direc- -5
tor Taken English. She went on
to say that, "Schools are actually
the third most common venue for 5
hate crimes
People are prejudice to cultures
they are not familiar w ith or do not
understand. This day provides a
chance for students to learn about
customs and ethnicities different
from their own.
Mix It Up at Lunch Day pro
vides students with an opportunity
to bring down the walls in their
schools and get to know people
they may not otherwise interact
with.
Four million students through-
out the country are expected to
participate in this event in hopes of
diminishing social boundaries.
The labeling and grouping on
most campuses tend to put people
in one group and keep others out.
As juvenile as this behavior may
seem, it still occurs on college
campuses. Mix It Up believes in
the power of youth to create and
sustain real change. They want
to provide ideas and tools to help
break the walls of division in
schools and various communities.
After last year's event, orga-
nizers overwhelmingly reported
that Mix It Up Day successfully
encouraged students to cross
group lines and meet new people.
This national event began in
2001 by the Southern Poverty
Law Center and Teaching Toler-
(ince magazine. This is a wonderful

opportunity for ECU's campus
community to have fun while
meeting new people from different
backgrounds and cultures.
The objective is simple - invite
someone new to join you and your
friends for lunch. You can mix it up
by yourself or encourage campus
organizations, student groups,
faculty and friends to join you.
This is a positive outlet to enjoy
the differences of students who
.wander the ECU campus. Before
sitting down at a table to enjoy your
meal, look around you in search of
someone new to join you. It is
possible that a complete stranger
can be your new best friend.

MONO

left upper part of your abdomen,
feeling light-headed, having a fast
heartbeat, bleeding more easily
than usual and having trouble
breathing. Mono cannot be cured
but it will go away on its own
usually within four weeks. The
main point of treatment is to alle-
viate the symptoms. Resting and
drinking plenty of fluids are two
key factors to relieve many ofthe
ailments caused by mono.
Avoiding sports, activities or
exercise of any kind will lead to
a faster recovery because if the
spleen is bumped, serious damage
can occur.
Physical contact with others
should be avoided for three to four
weeks after the infection begins
because it does not take much for
others to become infected with
the virus.
College campuses are breed-
ing grounds for mono because
of the close contact students
have with one another in
classrooms and dormitories.
Be careful sharing drinks with
other people or making out with
others because you may walk
away with more than you bar-
gained for.

Pirates become bowl-
eligible for the first
time in five years
RON CLEMENTS
SENIOR WRITER
ECU beat Marshal! on Satur-
day, 33-20, to become bowl-eligible
for the first time since 2001. For
the seniors, earning the victory
in the final home game of their
tumultuous careers is a special'
mark on their time in Greenville.
"It was very special for all of
the seniors, especially the ones who
have been here for five years said
senior quarterback James Pinkney,
who was 21-of-27 for 270 yards and
a touchdown. "We've been through
the highs and the lows, and we're
just going to keep riding this high
right now. We're bowl-eligible right
now, but we're not done yet. We're
still hungry
For the fifth-year seniors, Skip
Holtz is the third head coach of their
careers. Some players chose ECU
because of the winning tradition
they thought was being built under
former Steve Logan. With Logan's
departure following a 4-8 campaign
in 2002, the ECU program suffered
through two of the worst years in
its history, going 3-20 in two years
under John Thompson.
Last year's 5-6 season in Holtz's
first year at the helm created a
buzz that the Pirates' ship had been
turned around in the right direc-
tion. Saturday's win on Senior Day
cemented that idea and moved the
Pirates one step closer to clinching
the Fast Division of Conference
USA. ECU (6-4,5-2 C-USA) needs
to win at Rice next week to clinch
the division.
"This is the last time 1 get to
wear the purple jersey at home
senior offensive tackle Fic Graham
said after the game. "It might get
emotional in the locker room. Those
one and two-win seasons were
something that you want to get out
of your head. To finish off and be
bowl-eligible and get this win over-
shadows all of that. It feels great to be
in the position we are in right now
Holtz said his team will enjoy the
possible bowl game when it arrives.
"It's great, I love it, and it's kind of
a monkey off your back Holtz said.
"But, wejust gotta stay focused with
two games left to play. We're gonna
have time to celebrate the accom-
plishments of what this team has
done, and celebrate the seniors and
everything they've brought to this
program. Just today's not the day
The Pirates are on the precipice
of a bowl bid thanks to a smothering
defense that held C-USA's leading
rushing to just 26 yards. Bradshaw
entered the game averaging 125
yards per game. FXU allowed
Marshall just 35 rushing yards as a
team, the third time in four games
that the Pirates held their opponents
to under 100 yards rushing.
A blocked punt and a pair of
turnovers gave ECU a 20-7 halftime
lead over the Thundering Herd,
which did not allow Marshall to use
its vaunted run game.
"They took us out of our game
plan Marshall head coach Mark
Snyder said. "They did a good job
of whipping us up front and taking
away running lanes and that hurt us
Marshall, which entered the
game leading C-USA in rushing,
used its opening possession to go
to the air, throwing passes on four
of its first five plays to get the ball
deep inside FXU territory as Jimmy
Skinner completed three of those
four pass attempts. The defense
stiffened and held Marshall to a 41-
yard field goal attempt, which was
missed by Anthony Binswanger.
Marshall forced a three-and-out
on ECU's first possession, and Ryan
Dougherty booted a 52-yard punt
to push the Herd back at their own
26. Dougherty had three punts for
140 yards on the day, which made
the senior from Orlando C-USA's
all-time leader in punt yards.
Marshall's next three posses-
sions resulted in a blocked punt
and two Ahmad Bradshaw fumbles.
The blocked punt by sophomore
defensive end Zach Slate was ECU's
first in three years and led to the
game's first score, a one-yard plunge
by senior running back Brandon
F'ractious.
Slate realized the importance of
the win and its impact on the seniors.
"It's a tough day for them, but
we owed it to them Slate said.
"Emotionally, they get caught up in
remembering four or five years ago
what they came through and, we as
the younger players needed to step
up and carry them a little bit

"I'm really proud of this team and
the way they keep competing and
stay focused. We had an awful lot
to distract us. I was a little worried
about Senior Day. They get out
there and get all emotional, and
don't play very well, but I'm just
really proud of this team
'The Herd was able to get on the
board following a second Pinkney
fumble. The turnover set up a four-
yard scamper by Bradshaw, his 12th
rushing touchdown of the season.
The Pirates responded quickly,
marching 79 yards on seven plays
in just over two and a half minutes,
culminating in a 29-yard touch-
down pass from Pinkney to Henry
to take a 20-7 halftime lead.
The Pirates got a 38-yard Lee
field goal late in the third quarter
to cap a 45-yard drive. Lee, who
would add a 42-yarder in the
fourth quarter to put ECU up 33-
14, made four field goals on the
day. It was the ninth multi-field
goal game of his career, and the
senior's first four field-goal game.
The Herd answered two minutes
later on a Skinner-to-Cody Slate-
41-yard pass. Slate led all receivers
with nine grabs for 140 yards.
ECU used some trickery to
push the lead back to 16. A pitch and

Darrell Jenkins records
double-double in debut
RON CLEMENTS
SENIOR WRITER
With a nearly brand new roster,
the FXU men's basketball team got
a game-high 22 points and 12 assists
from junior college transfer Darrell
Jenkins to earn an 86-67 win over
Morgan State Saturday night inside
Minges Coliseum in the season-
opener for both teams.
With the Pirates clinging to a
44-42 lead at halftime, ECU out-
scored Morgan State, 42-25, in the
final 20 minutes while forcing 13
second-half turnovers and holding
the Bears to 38 percent shooting in
the second half
"I thought we made a nice adjust-
ment in the second half said ECU
Head Coach Ricky Stokes. "Our
defense and rebounding got better
in the second half Good teams, win-
ning teams, don't give up 42 points
in a half"
The Pirates were out-rebounded
in the first half, 22-20, but turned the
stat the other way in the second half
-crashing the boards for 17 rebounds
to Morgan State's 14.
With seven freshmen, Jenkins
said nerves may have played a part in
the team's lackluster defensive start.
"We were nervous at first, but
after we calmed down and went
to the locker room, Coach Stokes
told us that if we wanted to win
the second half had to be our half
Jenkins said.
The teams traded buckets and
leads to begin the second half. The
game saw three lead changes in the
first nine minutes before an Ingram
jumper made it a two-possession
game, at 59-54.
Behind the shooting of Jenkins
Jeremy Ingram slams home two of his 13 points in the season opener.
Five Pirates scored in double-digits with Jenkins totalling a game-high 22
and Ingram, and an electrifying
dunk by the 6-3 junior from Kinston,
ECU built a 14-point lead with just
under five minutes remaining.
Jenkins, who led all scorers
with 22 points and 12 assists,said
Ingram's dunk was the momentum-
swinging play of the game.
"We needed big plays like that,
especially from him Jenkins said

about the Kinston native. "He got
the crowd going and got us going. I
think that was the turning point
The Pirates jumped out to a
16-8 lead to open the game, only to
have the Bears claw to within two.

Sherrod elected to stay close to
home by signing with the Pirates.
As a junior at Tarboro High School,

three possessions in the first half.
Morgan State used the cold spell
to jump out to a 31-25-lead.
The Pirates fell behind by
seven, 34-27, before going on a
16r run to regain the lead with 38
seconds remaining in the first half
on a Jeremy Ingram 3-pointer. The
seven-point margin was the largest
lead of the game for the Bears. ECU
led at the break, 44-42.
Morgan State, after a well-
played first half, was sloppy in the
second half. The Bears were called
for several traveling violations and
even an illegal in-bounds pass with
3:21 remaining on their way to com-
mitting 13 second-half turnovers.
ECU turned over the ball nine
times in the first half The Pirates
had 12 assists in the first half, with

Jenkins having six on his way to
finishing with a game-high 12.
"I think Darrell does an excel-
lent job advancing the basketball
Stokes said. "He's also sharing the
ball. Anytime when your point
guard has 12 assists, good things
will happen. Twelve assists is a good
night for any point guard
With seven freshmen and Jen-
kins and Cory Farmer as JuCo
transfers, the Pirates have a lot of
new players and Stokes said he was
pleased with the way his team played.
"I didn't sleep well last night,
but I'll sleep better tonight Stokes
said. "They play hard and they love
East Carolina and they're gonna
get better. We're nowhere where
we need to be defensively, but we'll
get there
Both teams entered the contest
with 10 new players on their respec-
tive rosters, and each coach said
they were not sure what to expect
from the other.
"When I spoke before the game,
1 viewed the game as a blind date
because neither one of us knew a
lot about the other Morgan State
Head Coach Todd Bozeman said.
"Obviously, for us, the blind date
turned out bad
The Pirates shot 51-percent
from the floor for the game, had five
players score in double digits, and
6-10 freshman Gabe Blair hauled in
eight rebounds while 6-foot-9 fresh-
man John Fields had four blocks and
12 points. Ingram scored 13 while
Farmer added 11.
Bozeman said he was surprised at
how well the ECU freshmen played.
"I thought ECU's freshmen
did a good job Bozeman said.
"To have freshmen step up and
play like that was big for them.
Freshmen are gonna have good
games, and they're gonna have
bad games. That's just a given

scoring ability from the perimeter
with Jenkins.
"I knew they were strong perim-
