Election results overturned
Judicial Board
recommends new
election
ELIZABETH LAUTEN
ASST. NEWS EDITOR
Newly elected SGA executive
officers and congressional represen-
tatives had their victories recalled
last night.
After hearing the case of Matthew
W. Cohen vs. the Elections Commit-
tee, the SGA judicial board ruled
last week Ts election be overturned.
Keri Brockett (president elect),
Phillip Kendall (vice president elect),
Guillaume Bagal (treasurer elect)
and Dena Mazie (secretary elect),
and all other elected representatives
will have to undergo the election
process all over again.
The case was held in reaction
to a complaint Cohen filed last
Friday against the elections com-
mittee regarding staff voting in
the recent student body election.
In the case, SGA attorney general,
Nick Genty represented Cohen, and
the advocate for accused students,
Augustus Willis, represented Wag-
oner and the elections committee.
Genty questioned Cohen regarding
what the implications of what an
inherently flawed election would
mean to the student body if the
results were allowed to stand.
Cohen responded that allowing the
results to stand would make SGA
look bad.
oTt will hurt every part of this
body ... unless we have the trust and
respect of the students we represent, ?
Cohen said. oOne whole branch [of

New roof for Joyner
Partial roof
replacement scheduled
for this summer
ZACK HILL
SENIOR WRITER
A partial roof replacement of
Joyner Library will take place
during the summer.
The area to be worked on is
to the west of Sonic Plaza and on
the side facing the mall and Old
_ Cafeteria Complex.
oOn Saturday, Oct. 26 a sig-
nificant leak was discovered on
the third floor of the west wing of
Joyner Library, ? said Beth Win-
stead, interim associate director
for library public services.
The next week additional
leaks were discovered.
Because of the leaks, several
shelves on the floor have been
draped with plastic.
oLibrary staff and student
assistants removed items that
were wet and put plastic over the
affected shelves, ? Winstead said.
oAlthough the ECU roofers
have done a good job of patching
the roof and the roof is scheduled
to be replaced this summer we
believe it is better to be cautious
Joyner Library will get a new roof to repair a leak on the third floor.
because of potential for heavy
showers during the spring and
summer, ? said Trudy McGlohon,
head of services for library build-
ing operations. oFor this reason
you will probably see the plastic
until the new roof has been com-
pleted. ?
The repairs are scheduled to
begin soon after the semester
ends, on May 14, and are sched-
uled to be completed by Aug. 11.
oTm really glad that it Ts going
to be done after spring exams, ?
Winstead said.
oMichael Talton, project man-
ager for facilities engineering
and architectural services, said
that though new roofing will
be installed, othe existing roof
structure will remain. ?
The cost of the repairs is
estimated at $527,316 and was
publicly bid to an outside con-
tractor.
Talton said that no signifi-
cant damage has been done to
library material or property.
He apologized in a statement
for any inconvenience that the
repairs may cause to summer
school students.

Impeachment proceedings
must wait for congress
Injunction to remain
in effect until congress
defines a filing date
SARAH BELL
EDITOR IN CHIEF
The proceedings to impeach
M. Cole Jones, SGA president,
which began Monday evening,
were put on hold after an injunc-
tion was issued by Nick Genty,
SGA attorney general.
The injunction was the result
of a request for an interpretation
of the SGA constitution regarding
the filing date for the impeach-
ment process, and what consti-
tutes an impeachable offense.
The attorney general Ts ruling
extended the injunction filed
Monday against the Rules and
Judiciary Committee, prevent-
ing them from following the
impeachment process until a
point at which legislation can
be passed to protect the rights
of Jones and any elected official
that may face impeachment in
the future.
The interpretation states
that since othe elected official is
suspended from office (Article
VI, Section V), for the duration
of the impeachment process, it is
critical that the elected official
be granted a timely notice of the
allegations, and thereby capable
of preparing a reasonable defense
which to present to the Rules and
Judiciary Committee. ?
Without a defined filing date,
theruling states, there may be insuf-
ficient time for the accused official
to construct a reasonable defense.
Additionally, the ruling states
that ECU Ts SGA constitution fails
to identify which offenses are
considered impeachable, which
ocreates the opportunity for indi-
viduals to be held responsible for
minor or frivolous offenses. ?
Since the constitution does
not define either a filing date
for the impeachment process or
impeachable offenses, the student
congress will need to clarify both
matters before impeachment pro-
ceedings can continue.
The issue will be presented
to congress at their meeting
Monday at 5 p.m.
Ashley Yopp, chair of the Rules
and Judiciary Committee, said
she was satisfied with the ruling.
oWhile I know it is the
responsibility of the Rules and-
Judiciary Committee to consider
impeachment of elected officials
when articles of impeachment are
brought forth, it is our greater

Local television programs
fueled by ECU students
Students and staff

KIMBERLY BELLAMY
SENIOR WRITER
Channel 23 and channel 31 are
two broadcast outlets at the uni-
versity that faculty and students
produce the programs.
oKen Robol, director of stu-
dent engagement, works with all
student media including the East
Carolinian, WZMB, Expressions
magazine and the Rebel and over-
sees channel 31.
Channel 31 is operated by the
university and uses student fees to
fund it, according to Robol.
The city of Greenville owns
channel 23 and the broadcasts are
aired by a cable company accord-
ing to Tom McQuaid, member of
the board of directors for channel
23.
oIt is a non-profit corporation
carried over by Sudden Link cable
and broadcast on channel 23, ? said
McQuaid.
Channel 23 was at the uni-
versity in the past, discontinued
operation and was reestablished
later.
oThe channel [23] was origi-
nally started at Pitt Community
College in 1993 and shut down
for a while and was resurrected
back here [at ECU] in 1999, ?
McQuaid said.
Channel 31 was also estab-
lished in the 1990s and has been
around for a while.
oIt Ts been around for over ten
years, ? Robol said.
A major difference between
channel 23 and 31 is the intended
target audience.
Channel 23 produces and
broadcasts things that are meant
to provide insight to all the Pitt
County citizens.
oChannel 23 is television from
the community, for the commu-
nity, T McQuaid said.
Channel 31 broadcasts materi-
als to update and inform the stu-
dents, faculty and staff at ECU. ,
Robol hopes in the future, the
channel will be ostudent focused
with student programs that fea-
ture anything ECU students are
interested in. ?
The reason for broadcasting
the type of programming that each
channel does, may be due to the
accessibility of the viewers who
see the channels.
Only citizens that have Sudden
Link cable have access to channel ;
23 according to McQuaid.
Programs for channel 31 are
only accessible on campus because it
is closed circuit, according to Robol.
While individuals in the com-
munity contribute to producing
material for channel 23, students
are also heavily involved.
Alison Miller, visiting instruc-
tor in the communication depart-
ment, and David McCarty, pro-
fessor in the communication
department, teach classes that
produce material for newscasts
that air once a week, according to
McQuaid.
oOur class does weekly pack-
ages. We anchor the show and
then there Ts a production class
that shoots it, ? said Darla Moran,
senior communication major. ~*
The crew comes from Mill-
er Ts Production Practicum while
McCarty instructs advanced
reporting, which provides the
talent according to Moran.
There is uncertainty from
students and faculty about when
the weekly news cast airs on chan-
nel 23.
oHe [McCarty] has been tell-
ing us that it Ts supposed to air on
channel 23 on Thursdays but so
far, I haven Tt seen it, T Moran said.
There is no certain time slot
the viewer can tune in and watch
the weekly news cast because
the programs are circulated by a

o Obama Ts $25 million
fundraising haul places him in
direct competition with Clinton
DAVENPORT, lowa (AP) "With a
stunning $25 million fundraising
haul for his presidential campaign,
Democrat Barack Obama affirmed
his status Wednesday as Hillary
Rodham Clinton Ts chief rival.
The freshman Illinois senator
proved he could channel his appeal
into significant financial muscle,
and he dispelled, for now, ques-
tions about the durability of his
anti-war, ohope ?-driven candidacy.
Obama Ts three-month money total
stopped just short of the record
$26 million Clinton brought.in. By
any measure, it was an astonish-
ing figure fora political newcomer
elected to the U.S. Senate just two
years ago.
Obama was in lowa Wednesday,
with a rally in Mason City planned
for the afternoon. In an e-mail
message to supporters, he said his
fundraising success represented
oan unmistakable message to the
political establishment in Washing-
ton about the power and serious-
ness of our challenge. ?
His campaign released additional
details illustrating the breadth of
Obama's support. He had 100,000
contributors in the first quarter,
with more than half donating online
for a total of $6.9 million. Clinton,
by contrast, had about 50,000
contributors and raised $4.2 mil-
lion online.
Study suggests a good
mammogram reader may do as
- well as computers at spotting
cancer
BOSTON (AP) "A good mammo-
gram reader may do just as well at
spotting cancers without expensive
new computer systems often used
for a second opinion, a new study
suggests. Computerized mam-
mography, now used for about a
third of the nation Ts mammograms,
too often finds harmless spots that
lead to false scares, researchers
found. That conflicts with earlier
_ studies showing benefit from the
systems.
oIt looks like computer-aided de-
tection might not be working like
people thought it would, ? said lead
researcher Dr. Joshua Fenton, a
family doctor at the University of
California-Davis, in Sacramento.
The findings, which appeared
Thursday in the New England
Journal of Medicine, touch on a
rapidly spreading technology first
marketed in 1998.
Two NC. cities rank among
worst for bad drivers
(AP) "As far as Dick Lennox
is concerned, things that go
obump ? on the road are good for
business. Still, even the owner
of Lennox. Body Shop would like
to see a little less of it on local
roads.
An analysis in Men Ts Health
magazine ranked Cheyenne driv-
ers among the nation Ts worst.
Similar drivers were found in
two cities in North Carolina °
based on data from the National
Highway Traffic Safety Admin-
istration, Allstate Insurance and
the Governors Highway Safety
Association.
Greensboro, N.C., was ranked
98th out of 100 cities, while driv-
ers in North Carolina Ts largest
city, Charlotte, were ranked
93rd. The magazine ranked
Cheyenne 96th, and gave all
three cities an oF. ?
Cheyenne Ts ranking was no
surprise to Lennox.
oThe drivers here are pretty
scary, T he said. oAny day of the
week, go sit at any major inter-
section in town and watch people
run stop lights. They do it all
day long. ? ss
Men Ts Health Ts ranking used
the NHTSA Ts data on the rate
of fatal accidents, deaths caused
by speeding, and seat belt use;
Allstate Ts data on accident fre-
quency; and the Governors High-
way Safety Association Ts data on
speeding drivers.
Columbia, S.C., had the worst T
drivers in the ranking, followed.
by St. Louis; Greensboro, N.C.;
Jackson, Miss.; and Cheyenne.
Kansas City, Mo., and Orlando
also received F grades.
The cities with the safest
drivers were Des Moines, lowa;
Jersey City, N.J.; New York; Yon-
kers, N.Y.; and San Francisco.
Rebecka Seymour, who moved
to Cheyenne from Las Vegas, said
too many drivers in Cheyenne
seem not to be paying attention.
oIt seems like the drivers are
never aware of what Ts around
them, ? she said. oThere are just
a bunch of bad drivers. ?
Audrey Hobbs, who works
for the Wyoming Department
of Transportation, said the big-
gest problem is with the basics?
oPeople need to slow down, use
turn signals and learn how to
merge. ?
All of which adds up to plenty
oof business for Lennox.
oTo be a good.driver these
days, you have to be a defensive
driver, ? Lennox said. oBut the
more accidents, the more I stay in
business. It Ts sad, but true. ?

Army says friendly fire may
have killed two U.S. soldiers
in Iraq
WASHINGTON (AP) "Two soldiers
killed in lraq in February may have
died as a result of friendly fire, .
Army officials said Wednesday.
The Army said it is investigating
the deaths of Pvt. Matthew Zeimer,
18, of Glendive, Mont., and Spc.
Alan E. McPeek, 20, of Tucson,
Ariz., who were killed in Ramadi, in
western lraq on Feb. 2. The fami-
lies of the two soldiers were initially
told they were killed by enemy fire.
According to Army Col. Daniel Bag-
gio, unit commanders in Iraq did
not initially suspect they were killed
by U.S. forces, but an investigation
by the unit has found that may be
a possibility.
A supplemental report filed Feb.
28 suggested that the initial re-
ports might be wrong but that an
investigation was still under way,
he said. It took another month
before the families of the two sol-
- diers were told, on March 31, that
friendly fire was suspected.
Wednesday's disclosure comes on
the heels of the announcement last
week that nine high-ranking Army
officers, including four generals,
made critical errors in reporting the
friendly fire death of Army Ranger
Pat Tillman in Afghanistan. The
military found no criminal wrongdo-
ing in the shooting of the former
NFL player.

Degrees require internships
ECU has resources
to help
ALYCIA WENDT
STAFF WRITER
ECU had 8,934 students
enrolled in 1,182 work related
courses during 2004 " 2005
academic year. These students,
as a group, earned 26,367 credit
hours.
According to Suzanne
Martin, assistant vice chancel-
lor for student life, most students
in health sciences, education and
in specific programs in business,
technology, communication and
social sciences are required to
complete an internship or some
clinical/field experience.
Certain departments that do
require internships have at least
one faculty member that coordi-
nates internship opportunities.
The Career Center has sev-
eral resources and tools to help
students search for an intern-
ship.
These resources include
online databases, tools to help
create resumes and cover letters
and resources to guide the stu-
dents through the interviewing
process.
oIf you were going to buy
a car, would you buy the car
without test driving it? I feel the
same way about college students.
Internships lead to better under-
standing of what the work is like.
From the employer perspective,
it Ts the same thing. If you can
test drive them before you bring
them on full time, it is kind of a
win-win situation for both par-
ties, ? said Eric Lochtefeld, CEO
of the University of Dreams.
The University of Dreams
is an internship program that
offers 850 students a summer a
chance to intern in New York,
Chicago, Los Angeles, San Fran-
cisco, London and Barcelona.
Ten percent of the students
who intern with the University
of Dreams are international stu-
dents, while the rest are students
from. all over the U.S.
CEO of University of Dreams,
Eric Lochtefeld, recommends
that students start interning
their freshman year.
oIt is so competitive these
days that the more internships
you can have on your resume
by the time you graduate, the
better off you are going to be, ?
Lochtefeld said.
oThe more experience you
have when you graduate, the
more marketable you are to
employers for a full-time posi-
tion, ? said Martin.

ELECTION continued from Al
this election as fair and valid as
possible, ? said Wagoner. oObviously
we thought Onestop was secure. ?
Wagoner agreed that
fair election was a priority.
?I do see that this a problem and either
way I do see that this needs to be
resolved or it Ts going to keep happen-
ing in every election, ? Wagoner said.
In closing, Genty posed a ques-
tion to the committee.
oDo. we stick with the flawed
results we currently have? Or do
we take a risk of a new election that
may also have flaws? ? he asked.
After a closed discussion of the
case, the judicial board resumed the
hearing and ruled that the election
in question to be overturned and rec-
ommended to have a new election.
Keri Brockett said she was
uncomfortable with having to re-
do elections.
oFrom a student perspective,
I am uncomfortable that we are
having to spend more time and
energy and money to campaign and

tion fair and square, ? Brockett said.
oT think it Ts important to remember
we are students first. ?
Brockett added that she does
respect the review board for taking
the time to make the decision, which
she said must have been difficult,
and hopes the elections will have a
positive result.
oWe look forward to an honest
and just result to the end reign of
dirty politics that has taken place
in student government in this elec-
tion, ? she said.
The elections process will begin

IMPEACH continued from Al
responsibility to ensure that the

tected, ? Yopp said in a written
statement. oHad we continued
forth with impeachment, we
would have greatly impeded

Jones and not allowed him an
adequate opportunity to defend
himself. The committee will
take action to produce effective
and fair statutes that spell out
the impeachment process as
the attorney general Ts ruling
requires. ?
Ryan Wiggins, Screenings
and Appointments Committee
chair, filed the original impeach-
ment proceedings and says they
were handled correctly.
oThe discrepancies [in the
constitution] are minor, ? Wig-
gins said. oWhat we are doing is
right in every way, abiding with
our constitution. ?
The interpretation request
was filed by Dustin Pittman,
SGA representative, Monday
evening.
oOur congress never wrote a
statute saying how impeachment
was done, so we don Tt have.a
rule, ? said Pittman about why he
filed for the interpretation.
oIt is an unjust violation of
the accused student Ts rights to
proceed with an impeachment
hearing without first defining
a filing date, as well as defining
the offenses [for] which one can
be impeached, ? he added.

Laughter
silenced on
SNL
Saturday Night Live is circling the
drain
JONATHAN GARDNER
OPINION WRITER
Ww
Saturday Night Live used to be the highlight of 3
any weekend. With a great cast, SNL would spend
an hour every Saturday entertaining the millions
of viewers that turned to NBC. The show would be
graced with celebrities, music stars and actors. It
would be hailed for its parodies of politicians, tele-
vision shows and movies. So when I searched on
YouTube for the SNL parody of 300, I was disgusted
at the results.
The skit consisted entirely of the same joke, over
and over again. Peyton Manning, as a beast sent to
crush the Spartan army with boulders, would con-
stantly miss his cue to othrow the rock ? on the cower-
ing Spartan warrior. The director would eventually
get so flustered that he would remove the scene from
the movie completely. The scene was so bad, even the
live audience couldn't find something to laugh at. By
the end of the skit, I felt sick to stomach to see SNL
fall so far, so fast.
Starting in 1975, SNL has consistently had ee
actors, creating memorable characters. Chevy Chase
started the show, followed by Bill Murray. Eddie
Murphy and Dana Carvey carried the show until it
reached its peak. With actors like Chris Farley, Adam
Sandler, Mike Myers and Kevin Nealon, notable
characters would flood out of SNL. Along with the
chemistry between Sandler and Farley, Myers and
Carvey would work together to create Wayne and
Garth in their oWayne Ts World ? sketch. It truly was
the high point for SNL, and the momentum from this
era would be carried for years to follow.
However, the show would steadily start to decline
in the 2003 " 2004 season. The departure of popular
actors like Will Ferrell, Chris Kattan and Tracy
Morgan would cause many of the viewers to leave as
well. The fact that SNL replaced these actors with
less-than-desirable actors only caused the slump to
heighten. Currently, SNL has lost a large amount of
viewers compared to earlier, and the cast has reduced
to a small 11 cast members, with the only recogniz-
able actor being Kenan Thompson.
So, what caused this decline? Some blame new
writers, others blame Lorne Michaels, and some
claim that SNL hasn't lost its touch and that nos-
talgia has just blinded the show to what it actually
was. But in the end, the facts don Tt lie. The actors are
breaking their characters too often now, the techni-
cal aspects are showing up on screen, and lines are
being read awkwardly or missed completely. Massive
budget cuts can only mean a declining viewership
and ultimately a downward spiral for Saturday
Night Live.
Big deal, it Ts
Banner
A look into the big fuss over Banner
ALEX LAROCCA
OPINION WRITER
I will always remember Opal, our past register-
ing program. I will always remember it because ever
since I arrived here at ECU it never worked and I
have always been forced to go to my advisor. I have
wondered for so long T why Opal never worked and
why the school couldn't fix such a seemingly easy
problem.
For years we have been riddled with this problem
but over the past several months, a question was
forming: oWhat is Banner? ?
Posters were put all over the school with stu-
dents walking by them, staring blankly, wondering
how a girl in the library with notes all over her had
something to do with that guy eating pancakes and
mustard. Slowly, though, word spread from person
to person that Banner was to be our new, and thor-
oughly improved, registering program.
Hurray, one of the easiest and most basic prob-
lems at our school has been sorted out. Let the
celebration of Banner begin!
I never thought it too much to ask for a simple
way to register for classes and I don Tt see how it is so
difficult to solve such a problem. It really just seems
lazy and inconsiderate that we students were forced
to use a program that is as reliable as a house on a
sinkhole. Numerous times, Opal screwed me out of
classes or tricked me into thinking, oHey it finally
worked. ? Why was this necessary?
Well, in order to make up for this, the adminis-
tration apparently decided to throw a big fuss over
Banner. This past week, and for some the week
before, we have all been honored with using the
all-working and all-glorious Banner program. The
papers advertised, posters stayed up, OneStop added .
it and orientations were offered to explain it. And by
now we have all either decided going to our advisor
is easier or Banner blew our minds.
Is it too crazy to ask why all the mystery? Why
all the advertisements and even a oBanner Day ?
where one could eat pancakes with mustard? I was
honestly embarrassed over how much our school
cared about Banner; a registering program. Wouldn't
it have been a little easier, less expensive and less of a
hassle to just send out constant informative e-mails
or perhaps just put up informative posters?
I realize it wasn Tt that much money, but seriously,
why was there a poster with a guy eating pancakes
with mustard? What would have been the harm with
a poster half the size saying oBanner is...? ?
I am so glad Opal is dead and:am quite pleased
with Banner as a replacement, so kudos to our school
for making registration possible. I am just at a loss
of words when I think about the mystery of Banner
and how for months the school kept us from knowing
such a simple and stupid fact.

Downtown racism still prevalent
Bitter truths about downtown
* MARGOT ROGERSON
OPINION WRITER
-As a student at ECU, I have heard many stories
and rumors about downtown Greenville. One such
thing is the racism and discrimination shown by
some bouncers at certain clubs. I have heard that
bouncers will discriminate not only by race, but also
those entering with military identification cards.
_As a Caucasian female, I have had little to no
personal experience with racism or other discrimina-
tion. I have also never seen it firsthand downtown,
yet I continue to hear stories from my friends and
others about their experiences. .
One story hit particularly close to home. A close
friend of mine is a regular visitor of downtown
Greenville on the weekends. He even has a particular
club that he attends most often. He enjoys this club
because he is close friends with one of the bartenders
and is friends with many people that work there.
However, he called me one morning, not long
ago, to tell me his astonishing experience the night
before. As with most Saturday nights, he planned to
visit his regular club with two of his friends. One of
these friends is African American.
It was early in the night and there was no line
at the door. My friend recognized the guy checking
licenses and went to the door, handed the bouncer
his ID, and waited to be let in. The bouncer looked
at my friend, looked at his friend, and then gave the
license back to my friend. He proceeded to tell the
three guys that they needed memberships to enter.
I have heard of clubs using this method to pre-
vent entrance among other reasons. Sometimes, if
the club-goers are not wearing appropriate clothing,
the bouncers have the right to refuse entrance. That
said, my friends were wearing button-down, collared
shirts and dress shoes.
Also, I have heard of bouncers refusing admis-
sion if the club is starting to fill to capacity. But, like I
said, it was early in the evening and there was no line.
I can only draw one conclusion from this story.
This bouncer was exhibiting some degree of racism.
Why else would he refuse a loyal patron like my T
friend? My friend consistently spends money every
Friday and Saturday night in this club. The bouncer Ts
job should be to bring in business, not to deter cus-
tomers because of race or any one unreasonable
discriminatory method.
My friend has not gone to this club since the
incident, and I hope that this club changes its policy
of entrance. I did not realize the degree to which
racism was being exercised until this happened. It
is a true shame and disgrace.
To the Editor,
I am a member of the legislative branch of the
SGA where I proudly represent the Anthropology
Student Organization. This is not an easy job, but I
try my best to be responsive to my constituents. In
fact, I care about what goes on at ECU. I also care
about how events on campus affect the members of
the organization that I represent.
I know there is a lot of frustration on campus
regarding our student government. I have to admit
that I am usually one of the first to get frustrated,
and I am a representative. Rersonally, I think that
many of the rules regarding the funding of campus
organizations are cumbersome and unfair, especially
in the area of travel expenses. I am also very disap-
pointed and upset with many recent issues that-have
arisen in the SGA. Yet, when I sit down and think
of it, 1 am glad we have a student government on
this campus.
Yes, there are problems in the SGA. We are not
perfect, but the majority of us are there to serve the
students. Folks, the SGA has done some really good
things. We try to improve the standard of living on
campus. We also strive to represent and look out for
those who live off campus.
I agree; work needs to be. done, things need to be
improved and problems need to be corrected. How-
ever, just think about how things would be if there
wasn Tt any student representation at ECU, at least
we have some voice. The students make the SGA. It
is a government for the students, of the students and
by the students.
Those of us who serve give up our time so that
we can provide some sort of student voice. Usually
- all we get as thanks for our service is a T-shirt, a
free sandwich and nasty comments for raising all of
our student fees.
o| implore you T all to consider what I have said
when you are criticizing the SGA as a whole.
Sincerely,
Richard A. Weir

You Tve been rich and you've
been poor, and rich is often
more comfortable. It can also
be quite temporary, if you don Tt
plan ahead. Now Ts a good time
to do that.
Taurus
Get the information to your
teammates, so they can advance.
If you provide support, they'll do
most of everything else.
Gemini
You're working hard but it Ts less
fun when you're not making very
much money. Think of this as
paying off karmic debt, and try
to be cheerful.
Cancer
You're so cute and so popular
now, you can talk just about
anybody into just about anything.
Be good . you've got a lot of
power in that smile.

You may be tempted to run
away and leave your troubles
behind. Unfortunately, that Ts
not possible. They'll find a way
to tag along.
Virgo

The Winter Mission aims to redefine Greenville music scene
Call them witty, call
them weird, just don Tt
call them emo
JENNY AYERS
STAFF WRITER
The guys from The Winter
Mission want to do more than just
rock, they want to change eastern
North Carolina Ts slight excuse for
a music scene. Citing inspirations
such as Brand New, Minus the Bear
and even Weird.Al Yankovic, these
guys want to leave an impression
without being typecast into any
specific category.
When the original group got
together over a year and a half ago,
they-called themselves Kid Arcade.
After a couple of name changes
and band member trade-offs, the
current lineup has been playing
together since September 2006.
Their sound is constantly evolving
and improving.
oWe have an innovative sound,
but it Ts nothing experimental.
Most bands are either hardcore,
pop, jam bands or alternative. We
don Tt fall under any of those, ? said
Wes Bryon, vocalist and lyricist
for the band.
They describe themselves as
having a rock sound with ever-
so-slight hardcore (aggressive,
screamtastic) undertones. One
genre they refuse to identify with
however is emo.
All the classifications, genres
and sub-genres that exist in music
get confusing, so Bryon clarified,
oEmo started out as a genre of
music, but now it has become a
fashion statement or a lifestyle.
Contributed images
True emo is [bands such as]
Mineral, Rights of Spring and The
Promise Ring, but it is not The
Winter Mission. ?
Nathan Black, the band Ts
drummer, clarified further, saying
that their songs T subject matter is
what has people confused on their
emo/non-emo status. Will Bryant,
guitarist and back-up vocalist,
adds, oWe've got a post-emo flavor
and influence. What Wes writes is
very heart-felt. ?
oY ll admit, we're a little angsty
at times, ? Bryon jokes.
There are as many labels out
there as there are bands, but the ~
important thing is what drives
the band, what their musical
purpose is. It is clear that, for the
most part, these guys aren Tt just
in it for the cute girls and the ego
boost, they would really like to
make an impact on the local music
community.
oI wouldn Tt want to be huge,
but I want our songs to mean
something to people, ? Bryon
said.
On that same note, Bryant
added, oThe biggest thing I want
to take away is knowing that we
made a difference to people and
Greenville. This university offers

The Greenville Theatre Proj-
ect is a wonderful opportunity for
those who are interested in com-
munity theatre. Among the many
performances that they produce
are the Vagina Monologues, full-
length plays and an improv group
called the Oops! Improv Troop.
The Oops! Improv Troop
rehearses every other Sunday at
the City Hotel and Bistro. They
perform for an audience every 4
"6 weeks, mainly at the City Hotel
and Bistro. Their next show will be
Sunday, April 22 from 7 " 9 p.m.
Tickets can be bought at the door
for $7 or $5 per a person for groups
of eight people or more.
The troop consists of students
and professionals throughout
Greenville. Participants stem from
a variety of backgrounds; those
involved include professors from
ECU and Pitt Community College,
local lawyers and an event planner.
In addition to supporting
the Oops! Improv Troop, The

The Memory Keeper Ts
Daughter succeeds in
pulling its reader in
JENNY AYERS
STAFF WRITER
This is a complicated, entwin-
ing novel that revolves around an
enormous lie that is almost too
much to swallow. A seemingly pic-
ture-perfect family is ripped apart
when Dr. David Henry, the husband
and father of the tale, takes fate
into his own hands and completely
turns their world upside down.
When Kim Edwards T novel
The Memory Keeper's Daughter first
opens, the reader is taken back
to a winter storm in Louisville,
Kentucky in 1964. David, a suc-
cessful orthopedic surgeon, has to
deliver his wife Ts baby when they
can't make it to the hospital over
treacherous roads. Come to find
out, the heavily sedated woman,
Norah Henry, is actually pregnant
with twins. The first baby is a
beautiful baby whom the mother
has already given :the name Paul.
Upon delivery of the second baby,
Phoebe, David realizes she has
Down syndrome and makes a deci-
sion that will completely obliterate
life as he knows it.
As the
mother is
passed out
from fatigue
and medica-
tion, David
instructs his
nurse to take
the inflicted

institution

sulting his

wants to right
David off as a heartless monster,
but Edwards gives a glimpse into
his past which sheds some light on
his seemingly thoughtless decision.
David once had a younger sister
whom he loved and adored; this
little girl was born with a heart
defect which would eventually kill
her. Seeing the pain and suffering
his own mother endured and how
this affected the entire family Ts
life, David did not want to subject
his wife and family to that same
inspiring
contrast to the lives of David,
Caroline and Paul.
David is so haunted by the lie
that has become the foundation
of his relationship that he never
allows himself to discuss the lost
baby with his wife, even when
she pleads. As a result, Caroline
becomes self-destructive over the
child and marriage that she has
lost. Paul, of course, suffers when
his father is never around and his
mother is too consumed with the
issues that are weighing her down.
The story is told through the
eyes of all three characters over the
course of twenty-five years. They
all have attributes that everyone can
identify with: Self-doubt, selfish
desires, heartache and even hope.
As the story grows and fol-
lows the two parallel families, it
is interesting to see the distinct
contrast which develops. While
the Henry Ts are crumbling on
their foundation of lies, Caro-
line and Phoebe are blossoming
with love, hope and compassion.
This is a story that is as heart-
breaking and sad as it is heart-
warming and hopeful. Edwards
pulls off a nice balance between
the two ends of the emotional
spectrum. Where one family
fails, another prospers; where one
household is conflicted and torn,
another is supported and strong.
When the story opens, it:
appears as though Phoebe is the
one who should be pitied, when
in actuality, Paul Ts ideal house-
hold proves to be anything but.
Phoebe, the forgotten, becomes a
beacon of inspiration in this story.
It is definitely a quick read that
makes the reader reflect on their
own, possibly under appreciated,
relationships.

Real reasons why bickering bands reunite
(MCT) "When bands reunite and give press
conferences about it, they're more than happy to
announce their upcoming tour dates, gush about
how well they Tre getting along or crow about the
wondrous endurance of their old hits:
There Ts just one thing they rarely, if ever, talk
about: their real motivation.
When the Police announced their summer come-
. back at a press conference in L.A., Sting repeatedly
dodged questions about the true reasons behind it
all, offering only a spacey spiel about how he wanted
to surprise the other guys _ and himself.
When the members of Van Halen were asked why
this famously fractious bunch was reuniting now,
singer David Lee Roth simply called it a ono-brainer. ?
Now, of course, it Ts no-go, since Eddie Van Halen
was packed off to the dry-out bin just a few weeks
after the story broke.
Luckily, there are plenty of other reunions to
come this summer and fall, including Genesis,
Rage Against the Machine, the Stooges, Smashing
Pumpkins and Crowded House. With that in mind,
we offer the most common genuine reasons that,
after years of distance and acrimony, musicians sud-
denly decide to bury the hatchet in something besides
each other Ts backs:
1) The bassist has a mortgage to pay: Ask the
Who. According to singer Roger Daltrey and late
bassist John Entwistle, the reason they got Pete
Townshend to agree to many tours over the years
was simply that they were trying to get the kind of
cash flow Pete can command just by sitting home
and collecting his publishing checks. That goes
for a lot of bands. The guy who wrote the songs
may be doing nicely years after the group stops
playing, but the other musicians aren Tt earning a
dime unless they play.
2) They want the attention: Face it, after a certain
point the stars can Tt be doing it just for the money.
How many Brazilian models can Mick Jagger buy?
A more compelling motivation is the heightened love
and admiration they get from playing their proven
hits for fans who've pined for eons to hear them from
the original guys.
3) The leader ran out of ideas for his solo career:
Prime example: Sting. The guy Ts latest album
consists entirely of 16th-century lute music. It
doesn Tt get much lower on the obscurity scale than
that. As a chaser, who wouldn Tt want to bring back
something you know bazillions of people will wor-
ship you for?
4) This is the members T last shot to get back on
the cover of Rolling Stone before they look too hor-
rible for even the airbrushers to cover up: A subset
of the owanting attention ? category, this has to do
with pure vanity.
5) The members want to make aniends for their
past: The stars forging these reunions are at least a
decade _ if not two or three _ older than they were
when they made the (sometimes) rash decision to
pack it in. Who hasn Tt mellowed in all that time?
And who wants the bad karma of continuing to hold a
grudge against someone with whom you once shared
something so dear?
6) They pine to play the bigger halls they can Tt fill
on their own: Even stars as huge as Sting and Phil
Collins could never play stadiums as a solo act. But
with their old bands, they can. That not only trans-
lates into a sky-high payday (as lofty as $100 million
for some) but lets them bask in that rare sound of
50,000 people'shouting their songs at once.
7) They want their youth back: The closest they
can get is by reconnecting with the colleagues,
and songs, that came from the fever of youth. Of
course, that Ts the covert dream, and key motivation,
of the fans, too.

Bryant ready to step into spotlight
Redshirt sophomore Jamar Bryant hopes to take his Bice among the ine wide receivers aa all time at ECU.
_ Sophomore receiver has
overcome odds
JARED JACKSON
STAFF WRITER
After playing in only a few
games last year and enduring a
roller coaster ride of a recruiting
process that eventually led him
to ECU, sophomore wide receiver
Jamar Bryant is ready to fill the
void left by Second-Team All-
Conference USA receiver Aundrae
Allison.
Listed at 6-foot-2, 205 pounds,
Bryant received many accolades
from national recruiting pub-
lications during his tenure at
Richmond County High School,
where he completed 77-of-159 pass
attempts for 1,276 yards and 12
touchdowns during senior season:
He also rushed for 864 yards and
13 touchdowns on 134 attempts.
He even took over punting duties,
averaging 37 yards a punt.
Based on these stats it is no
wonder Rivals.com selected Bryant
as one of the oTop 40 Athletes in
the Nation ? during his senior year.
Bryant was also honored as part
of Superprep Ts All-America squad
and participated in the Shine Bowl
game, where he topped all North
Carolina receivers.
Bryant claims that he wasn Tt
really a quarterback even after
being selected among the nations
70 best quarterbacks according to
Insiders.com coming out of high
school.
oI was always real athletic but
I wasn Tt really a quarterback, ?
said the Hamlet, N.C. native. oI
was just an athlete and it just so
happened that I was the best ath-
lete on the team so they put me at
quarterback. ?
Even with all the hype sur-
rounding his extraordinary foot-
ball skills, Bryant knew the media
hype meant nothing because he
couldn Tt get high enough test
grades.
oIt was alright, but when I
was reading it [certain media],
it really didn Tt mean anything
because I didn Tt get my SAT scores
up, ? Bryant said.
Bryant would end up signing
with the University of. Georgia
after his stellar high school cam-
paign, but after failing to qualify
academically, he enrolled at Har-
grave Military Academy in an
effort to get his academic troubles
under control.
oWell, as a student, it helped
me get self disciplined, ? Bryant
said of Hargrave. oBefore I came
to Hargrave, I didn Tt have any
self discipline, I wouldn Tt go to
class, but at Hargrave you have to
go to class. If you don Tt go you're
punished. ?
As for football, Bryant said
that because of the skill level at
Hargrave, it taught him to com-
pete every day, unlike in high
school where he was always the
best player on the field.
Despite attending Hargrave,
Bryant was still unable to meet the
academic requirements at UGA.
UGA Head Coach Mark Richt
issued a statement in July of 2005
regarding Bryant Ts situation.
oJamar Bryant has asked for
and received release from his
letter of intent with the University
of Georgia, ? said Richt. oHe has
decided he wants to go to East
Carolina University, which is
closer to his home. We certainly
respect his decision and wish him
the best in the future. ?
After enrolling at ECU in the
fall of 2005, Bryant wasn Tt able to
join the team until the summer
after he completed the NCAA
eligibility requirements.
Even though he was at ECU in
the fall, Bryant didn Tt attend many
of the football games.
oT really didn Tt even go to any
games because I knew I could be
out there helping them and I really
didn Tt like to go out there and see
them losing like that, ? Bryant said.
oWhen I used to go out there I
would hear people in the stands
talking about how bad ECU was
and that used to hurt me. ?
After meeting the academic
requirements that plagued him,
Bryant endured his first season
of collegiate football last year.
Bryant caught 11 passes for 108
yards including a career high
three catches for 26 yards in the

SOUPS PRS Tour ae
The Masters is held at undoubt-
edly the greatest. venue in all of
sports. Located behind a 12-foot
hedge of bamboo, red-tipped
photinia and pearlbush, Augusta
National calls the second largest
city [200,000] in Georgia home.
And while that number is fairly
large and Augusta National is
located off Washington Rd., which
is the busiest road in the city, the
golf course maintains a level of
privacy and intimacy like no other
place on Earth.
So, when the golfer Ts tee off
today, why should you watch?
Simply put, this is the 10th
anniversary since Tiger Woods
Each participant has the option of
choosing which tricks they would
like to perform and have evaluated
by a panel of judges.
The super pipe is also an event
based on style points and tricks on
a half-pipe-like structure, and the
giant slalom is a timed event with
the winner determined upon the
quickest final times after comple-
tion of the course.
When looking for the best
collegiate snowboarding teams in
America, you probably would not
expect to see ECU listed near the
top, much less second place.
oECU got a lot of recognition
that week, ? said Shoe regarding
the reactions from some surprised
Westerners who did not expect to
see the Pirates succeed.
oThey could not believe we
were beating them, ? said Sul-
livan.
So how does a team with no
coach and no structured prac-
tice schedule place second at the
national level?
oBecause we are good, ? laughed
Sullivan.
The Pirates also showed a
determination that was not lost on
see SNOW page AQ
won his first major title in 1997
and he is going for his second title
in the past three years.
Also, how will Phil Mickelson
defend his Green Jacket from 2006
after double bogeying on the final
hole of the U.S. Open to lose by one
stroke last year after he appeared
to have the title wrapped up?
While Woods is without ques-
tion the favorite heading into
today, a few others are seemingly
on top of their game heading into
Augusta.
Ernie Els, Vijay Singh and
Retief Goosen will most likely
be a few of the fashionable picks
for this week. Adam Scott, Luke
Mickelson has placed in the top 10 at the Masters every year since 1999.
Donald and Sergio Garcia could
also challenge, but when it matters
most, as it does this week, would
anyone be willing to choose the
field over Tiger? "
_ The anything can happen
and anyone can win mentality is
ultimately what makes this sport
event, as CBS puts it, oa tradition
unlike any other. ?
So when the leaders are head-
ing into Amen Corner on Sunday,
expect the unexpected and you
will soon see that this sporting
event is the greatest of the year.

SNOW continued from A&
BRYANT continued from A&

South Florida.
oLast year was just a learn-
ing process, ? Bryant said. oI
haven't played wide receiver that
much. Last year was actually my
first year playing wide receiver
and I learned a lot from all the
seniors. ?
With Allison headed to the
NFL, Bryant knows he must
step up.
oIT put pressure on myself
everyday to get better, ? Bryant
said. oI guess there is a lot of pres-
sure on me because he [Allison]
was the leading receiver and I Tm
the next X [receiver]; so I have
to step up to whatever he did last
year and do better. ?
And while Bryant has been
impressive in two scrimmages so
far in the spring, he knows come
fall it isn Tt so much about personal
success as it is team succéss.
oThis year I Tm just trying to
help the team get better, ? Bryant
said. oGo undefeated if we can.
Take it one game at a time. ?
For any athlete to overcome
the road Bryant has traveled is
truly a testament to his willpower.
He knows ECU didn Tt have to
admit him and if they didn Tt he
would probably be sitting at
home right now. This is his time
to enter the spotlight. This is his
redemption.
