Original SGA election results to stand

Judicial Review Board
revisits issue at urging

SARAH BELL
EDITOR IN CHIEF

Although a second round of
elections was scheduled to take
place today, Marilyn Sheerer, vice
chancellor of Student Life, issued
a memorandum on Thursday
which overturned the Judicial
Review Board Ts decision to have
a new election for SGA officers.
Sheerer later revoked her decision

Student art show in Mendenhall closes early

Illumina taken down
because of complaints

ADELINE TRENTO
STAFF WRITER

Last week, an art show in
Mendenhall was taken down early
due to complaints from students.

The Illumina, a student art
exhibition, was scheduled to be up

until April 5 but was taken down :.

last Tuesday.

oThe Visual Arts Committee
decided to end. the show early
because of continuous complaints, ?
said Ameena Mohyuddin, assistant
director of ECU Student Activities
& Major Events. oThere was a lot
of controversy going on and the
committee decided it would be best
to end the show. ?

Illumina, which was scheduled
to begin on March 19, angered
many students from the beginning
when it started a week later than
advertised.

oI thought it was really disre-
spectful that the lumina show
was pushed back, ? said Paul Phil-
lips, senior art education major.
oThere were tons of posters and
advertisements all over campus
and then the show didn Tt start
on time. Some people had family
who made plans to travel a long
distance to see the artwork and
then the dates were changed with
very little notice. ?

Mohyuddin said that although
the gallery in Mendenhall was not
double booked, the Visual Arts
Committee decided to allow other
departments to use the space and

Board] have this information, ?
Sheerer said of her decision
to pull back from the issue on
Monday.

oI thought, I Tm going to
put this on hold, meet with the
people I didn Tt have a chance to
meet with last Thursday... and
let them proceed, ? said Sheerer.
oThat Ts exactly what they did. ?

The decision to overrule the
Judicial Review Board Ts decision
came in response to oa myriad ? of
appeals, according to Sheerer.

One of the appeals came from
Matt Wagoner, former elections
chair. Wagoner explained that
after beginning the second elec-
tion process it became oevident
that there were still going to be
major flaws in the new election ?

postpone the show. °

oThe Illumina show went up
late because we decided to let other
departments use our display cases
and the walls, ? Mohyuddin said.
oThe College of Education and
Campus Recreation and Wellness
requested to use the space and we
let them. It is a student gallery and

and that it would onot represent
the student body, ? and decided
to appeal to Chancellor Ballard.
Ballard then appointed Sheerer
to act on his behalf.

Sheerer said she reviewed
the original campaign violation
form submitted by Matthew
Cohen, congress member, and
the formal appeal by Matthew
Wagoner, which was heard at the
Judicial Review Board session
last Wednesday.

After meeting with ITCS
representative Phillip Hulsey,
Sheerer decided conducting a
new election would serve no
purpose.

oCHulsley] assured me that
there were 2,868 total votes in
this election, 23 of which were

as the student center we need to
accommodate everyone and every
student related thing that happens
at ECU. ? :

Because the exhibition started
a week late, the artwork for Ilu-
mina was kept in Mendenhall and
many students were unhappy with
the way it was stored.

Campus Recreation and Well-

from April 1 "7. This is an annual
event that has been occurring for
over ten years.

jeopardy.
According to Erica Payton, a
Community Health Intern who

is working on this project with

the Campus Wellness Depart-
ment, the main goal of this week
is to educate ECU students about
sexually transmitted disease,
encourage them to get tests and
make them aware of the resources
the ECU community has.

oWe want students to know
that it is important to protect
themselves from STDS. We also
are promoting abstinence as the
only 100 percent effective method
of protection, ? said Payton.

Students can make appoint-
ments at the Student Health
Center to get tested for STDS.
The tests are free and are also

free at Pitt County Health
Department.

On April 16th, the Student
Health Center is having free
Rapid HIV testing in the Multi-
Purpose room from 10 a.m. until
2 p.m.

oWe hope to have more of
the Rapid Testing days here at
Student Health with Pitt County
AIDS Service Organization and
those dates will be forthcoming, ?
said Health Educator for Student
Health, Shawnte T McMillan.

Students can reach the Stu-
dent Health center at 328-6841
to set up an appointment.

oWe hope that these programs

to Mr. Hulsey, there are no other
ineligible students who voted, ?
wrote Sheerer in the memoran-
dum. oHe pulled all the votes and
compare them to our current stu-
dent database and conducted this
same procedure several times.
Thus, the outcome of the election
is verified. ?

Sheerer said that since the
votes did not-make a difference in
the outcome of the election, she
decided to overturn the Judicial
Review Board Ts decision. She said
she felt the board should have the

chance to hear the information

- provided to her by ITCS and

reconsider its ruling.
Last night, the Judicial
Review Board reconvened to

Melissa Giglio, junior art edu-
cation and metal design major, said
that she took her parents to see her

for [lumina had been carelessly

dled badly, ? said Giglio. oEvery-
thing that was framed was stacked

referenced in her memorandum
directly from Philip Hulsey, an
ITCS representative.

After discussing the informa-
tion, the board agreed to let the
original election results stand.
Nick Genty, SGA attorney gen-
eral, could not be reached for
comment regarding the decision.

Sheerer said she was pleased
that the Judicial Review Board Ts
decision last night mirrored her
decision that a second election
was not necessary.

oI Tm glad they were able to
come to that same conclusion, ?
she said.

Dates for possible re-
elections announced

KIMBERLY BELLAMY
SENIOR WRITER

A new elections chair and
co-chair were voted on by
congress during the weekly
meeting held on Monday.

Matt Wagoner, former elec-
tions chair, recently resigned
and a new election chair was
appointed to fill the vacancy for
the remainder of the semester.

Courtney Tysinger was
chosen to fulfill the duties of
elections chair for the rest of
the term.

Tysinger introduced whom
the elections committee chose
to be chair and co-chair for the
2007 " 2008 academic year.

Ashley Fish was selected to
be the chair and Steven Shipley
was selected to be co-chair.

Congress voted in favor
of both of these individuals
handling these leadership posi-
tions for next year.

Also discussed in congress
was the current election situ-
ation of whether or not there
will be a re-election for execu-
tive officers and congress.

oThe vice chancellor of stu-
dent life (Dr. Marilyn Sheerer]
asked for the violations that
have been filed to be sent back
to the judicial board, ? said
Corey King, assistant vice
chancellor of student experi-
ences.

The decision that the judi-
cial board makes will deter-
mine if there will be a re-elec-
tion according to King.

New elections chair
and co-chair appointed

Tysinger gave congress a
proposed schedule of the new
elections in the event that the
judicial branch votes in favor
of a re-election.

to Tysinger.

Jon Massachi, speaker of
the congress, announced that
next Monday would be the
last meeting for the current
congress members.

oThe new congress will
take over on April 23, ? Mas-
sachi said.

uled to happen this Friday at

are extremely important to the
people that created them and that
is just not the way artwork should
be handled. I couldn't even find
some of my pieces because they
were buried in boxes. ?
Mohyuddin declined to com-
ment on the way the work was kept,
but a regional gallery director
said that this was not the correct
way to store artwork for a show.
oThe work should be kept the
same way that it was brought in, ?
the director said. oYou should
handle the artwork as little as
possible and keep it separated.
Especially metals, you are talk-
ing about thousands of dollars in
materials, not to mention the time
that went into creating it. Every
piece needs to be treated like it is
invaluable, like it is priceless. ?
Many students were also
upset that the work on display
at [lumina did not have the art-
ists name or the title of the piece
attached to it. .
Without the name of the
artist on each piece, friends and

family could not tell whose work

was whose and the artists were
unable to be recognized for their
accomplishments. :
oSometimes the title of the
work will put the image in some
kind of context and without the
title that context can be lost, ? said
Brian Gonzales, senior printmak-
ing major. oIt is their responsibil-
ity to label the work and | find
the absence of the name to be

very disrespectful. It Ts as if they
are saying you aren Tt important.

enough to take credit for your
achievement. ?

The absence of the artists
name may have caused a monetary
loss for some students as well.

oOne night I walked up to look
at the work and I heard a woman
saying that she really liked a par-
ticular piece and wanted to buy it, ?
Gonzales said. oUnfortunately for
that artist there was no name, no
title and no price listed. ?

Due to the problems with this
year Ts show, many students said

future exhibits in Mendenhall.

oThere was just a lack of care
and respect for our work at this
show, ? Phillips said. oWe put a lot
of time into our work and the whole
thing was just unprofessional.
Unless something changes I won't
submit anything there again. ?

Mohyuddin encourages stu-
dents to join the Visual Arts Com-
mittee and make the changes that
they would like to see.

oThere is always room for

_improvement in everything and

the committee has learned a few
lessons.along the way, ? Mohyud-
din said. oWe invite everyone to
get involved with the committee
because we need more people to
help decide what exhibits should
come to campus and how things
should be run. The Visual Arts
Committee has done a lot of great
things this year and our students
have learned some important les-
sons from this experience. ?

Get up and do something

ELIZABETH LAUTEN
ASST. NEWS EDITOR

The university is working hard to make ECU
one of the top universities in nation "from hiring
new staff to bringing in speakers to hosting a mul-
titude of conferences every week on various topics.

Heck, even the Board of Trustees.and alumni are ©
doing their part; after all, they're giving us another "
fountain to sit in Wright Circle, since our last one ~

went kaput. Yes, everyone seems to be doing their

part in this equation. Everyone, that is, except the -

actual students of the university.

It Ts about time that students realize that it Ts their
responsibility, as well, to take the initiative to change
things. Really, students just need to find what they're
passionate about and pursue it while taking advantage
of the countless opportunities made available to them.
By no means do am I trying to work PR for the
university, but apathy seems to be at an all time
high at ECU.

In my tenure here, I have experienced a startling
lack of motivation within the student body. Despite
students T devotion to athletics and partying, I wish
for sake of the university, that there could be the same
kind of passion for any of the other outlets here.

The campus seems to have awoken though in the
past two weeks, and thus I have a newfound hope
"that there really are students out there who care,
they just don Tt realize the gold mine of opportunity
that lies before them.

This brings me to my point in all of this "in
case you missed the news, two weeks ago the Media
Board appointed new managers and editors to all of
ECU Ts media outlets.

Correction, all areas of the media save the East
Carolinian. Why you may ask? Because only one
person applied for the position.

I wish I were kidding, but sadly I Tm not.

I watch the newsstands empty every day on
campus as student after student grab papers off the
newsstand. So why the lack of interest in being part
of the staff? The paper doesn Tt write itself after all.

At other universities throughout the country, the
chance to work at the university newspaper is not a
paying job, as it is here at ECU, but rather it is seen
as a privilege. At the University of Virginia, over 200
students volunteer at the reputable Daily Cavalier
every year. At Carolina, there are tons of volunteers
on staff working for the Dazly Tar Heel, and yet, here
at ECU, we can only muster one applicant for the top
position of the whole paper.

Throughout the United States, the media is con-
sidered such a powerful force that it Ts often called the
fourth branch of government "it plays an essential
role in keeping democracy in check by keeping the
masses informed.

With our beloved first amendment as our pro-
tector, merely media law and the furthest reaches
of one Ts imagination and creativity govern journal-
ists. Without a doubt, journalism is one of the most
empowering careers out there. And yet it Ts vastly
unappreciated. :

Regardless, the Media Board is giving students
another opportunity to apply to be editor-in-chief.
You have until this Friday to turn in an applica-
tion. Don Tt waste another opportunity because of
apathy.

My request to the Student Body is this "get
involved. Maybe the paper Ts not your thing, but if
ECU can't find students interested in the jugger- .
naut of the media, then why bother trying with all

of the rest? If students really don Tt care, what Ts the

point? :
Dare to prove me wrong ECU.

ASK JANE

Need advice? Want answers? Just ask Jane.

Dear Jane,

ve been dating this boy for about a month now,
but we have been hanging out since January.

I think I Tm in love with him already. I think
about him all of the time and I can Tt seem to go a day
without seeing him. Is that at all possible?

Signed,
In Love

Dear In Love,

I wasn Tt quite sure what to say to this question of
whether or not it Ts truly blissed-out love, so I asked
the people in production and our news room, so this
reply is from all of us.

Out of the seven available opinions, only two
people believe in falling hard and fast. Ironically, they
happen to be the two non-student opinions.

Four people said that there Ts no way you could be
in love already. The general consensus is that you're
probably doing some serious crushing, forming an
attachment to this person and getting to know him
better.

A few people suggested that you're experiencing
serious infatuation.

One person looked solemnly at me and said,
oWell, that depends on their age. If they're 14, then
no, but if they're 30... well, maybe. ?

So while I cannot procure a straight answer
for you on this topic, I can at least offer what the
majority believes.

If oDo you believe in love at first sight? ? was a
question easily answered, you wouldn't have written
in to begin with.

Personally, I think it depends on the person. You

_may very possibly be in love; only time will tell. After
all, what is it to be in love? Take this one up with
your philosophy professor. é

Good luck in love,

Jane

South Park becomes a
satirical voice

Jenelle Conner

How has it gone from fart jokes to -
politics?

JONATHAN GARDNER...
OPINION WRITER

oSouth Park ? started as a cardboard Jesus ani-
mated to fight a cardboard Frosty the Snowman.
When. Trey Parker and Matt Stone were hired to
create a series around the characters in this anima-

otion, their first couple seasons involved crude fart

jokes, sexual innuendos and the constant death of

the character Kenny. As of late, oSouth Park ? has
- become less of the gross-out show, and more of a

tongue-in-cheek, satirical show. Willing, and essen-

"tially allowed, to take on any issue, no matter how
_taboo, oSouth Park ? has taken shots at a variety of

religions, movies, politicians and celebrities.

This latest season has exemplified the best of
oSouth Park, ? the best of their gross-out humor and
the best of their satirical side. Season Two started
with the episode oWith Apologies to Jessie Jackson, ?
an episode which focuses on a character mistakenly
saying the oN-word ? on Wheel of Fortune. The epi-

~ sode took jabs at Michael Richards, as the episode

took place almost immediately after his incident
at the Laugh Factory, and at Jessie Jackson, when

~he apparently claimed to be othe emperor of black

people ? in the episode. The season continued with
oThe Snuke, ? an episode that parodied the TV drama,
o24, ? and takes on both Hillary Clinton and racial
profiling in the process. Clinton was thought to have
a osnuke ? in her body, or a osuitcase nuke designed to
fit in a women Ts snizz. ? Immediately, the new Muslim
family was thought to be the culprits, when in fact,

the enemy is oAmerica Ts oldest enemy, ? the British.
In the end, a character states that they shouldn't be

_ suspicious of just one race, obecause actually, most -
of the world hates [America]. ?

And while the show continues to push every
popular issue out there, it retains,a small piece of its
past, usually parodying or jabbing at the issues in
an off-the-wall, offensive way. When discussing the
effects Christianity has on its followers, they went
into a long drawn out parody of The Da Vinci Code,
ultimately ending with a Jewish character killing

- Jesus, allowing Jesus to resurrect outside the cage

to kill the pope. When discussing Scientology and
Tom Cruise, they made their Tom Cruise character
lock himself in a closet, earning the response from
many characters, asking Cruise to ocome out of the

closet. ? When Al Gore came out with the movie 4n

Inconvenient Truth, oSouth Park ? came out with an
episode involving Al Gore chasing oManBearPig, ?
a fictional creature that was half man, half bear, half
pig, basically implying that global warming was

- fictional. During the episode, it Ts stated repeatedly

that the characters ofelt bad for [Gore] ? because ohe
doesn Tt have any friends. ?

So how did oSouth Park ? gain this type of flex-
ibility? Despite multiple protests, banned episodes
and angered celebrities, oSouth Park ? ranks one of
the highest rated shows on Comedy Central. It Ts

been renewed for at least another season, and each

episode seems to be better than the last. So why has
this show survived for as long as it has? Probably
the same reason Jerry Springer is still on televi-
sion "shock value. The viewers have come to expect
it from oSouth Park, ? and yet after each episode,
they seem to push it farther than what any could
have imagined.

- Multimedia Web Editor

You may have noticed the #bomb ran on the front
page Thursday. Twice.

Were you offended? Appalled? You should be.

You should be offended, and deeply disturbed
"I know I am.

You should be offended "but not by the photo-
graph of Kappa Alpha Ts vandalized fence, or the news
article that references it.

You should be offended by the graffiti Ts very
existence, and the act that put it there in the first
place. You should be disturbed, and you should want
to address whatever underlying issues led to it, now,
so they don Tt fester.

I received several comments from individuals
who said they were offended by the photograph
and/or the accompanying article, saying I should
have edited or pulled parts of the article and photo-
graph. I think their sentiments are misdirected, and
I must disagree.

To have cropped the photo, or digitally tampered
with it in any way, would have misrepresented the
original message and immediately destroyed the
photo Ts credibility. I can Tt sugarcoat photographs.

In the article that ran with the photograph, the
graffiti was quoted directly, because even with the
omission of a single letter, or group of letters, the
message was obvious. I Tm not going to insult your
intelligence.

The article was not long enough to jump to a
subsequent page to display the photograph, but even

~ if it had been, I Tm not sure the photo would have been

placed differently.

The graffiti Ts message is not like those submitted
in Pirate Rants or opinion columns, which would
disappear should we choose not to publish them- "it
was already prominently placed in public.

Additionally, the graffiti Ts message and place-
ment was not arbitrary; it was intentionally directed
at Kappa Alpha, a large and long-standing student
organization, located just a stone Ts throw from
campus for all to see. To fail to bring the issue to
your attention, so that it can be addressed, would
have been a disservice to our community.

The article and its headline did not, and could
not, fully and accurately convey the graffiti Ts pres-

ence and message without the accompanying pho-

tograph and quoted phrases. To omit either would
have been to knowingly conceal parts of the truth,
which I believe is unethical.

The truth is not always pretty, like in this case,
and it Ts not always easy to report. Despite the content
of the photograph, members of our editorial board
thought anvarticle about the graffiti was necessary
and newsworthy. We still think so, and we hope the
article will facilitate a discussion on campus "not to
blame or point fingers, but instead ask why.

Let Ts ask ourselves why it was put there. Let Ts ask
what "what feelings led to it? What feelings have
been caused by it? :

Three weeks ago, ECU celebrated Diversity
Week and a campus climate survey began to help
gauge the ocurrent attitudes, behaviors and standards
of employees and students concerning access, inclu-
sion and level of respect for individuals or groups on
campus. ? Two weeks ago, students heatedly debated
affirmative action on campus. Last week, students
created Facebook groups calling for the impeach-
ment of our student body president, and opposing
groups, which called students to organize on the
basis of race.

Different issues have reared their heads in recent
weeks, and although I recognize they are being
addressed, I think we, as students and as a commu-
nity, need make sure we continue to address them
and work toward finding resolutions.

Big issues take courage to talk about and to
tackle, but we can Tt turn a blind eye and claim igno-
rance. This university is a forum for your voice to
be heard, and this page is yours to fill.

All we ask is that you have an open mind.

Students learn valuable self-defense skills

Judo Club offers
something new

ELISE PHILLIPS
ASSISTANT PULSE EDITOR

Last year, president John Gray
helped to organize the first Judo
Club at ECU. For anumber of years
the club had been offcampus, but last
year it finally became available to
ECU students as a sourcé in which to
learn, practice and compete in Judo.

According to the constitution
of the Judo Club, the organiza-
tion hopes oto teach the sport
of Judo to the ECU community;
to help the community through
humanity projects; and to help
bring self-defense awareness in
the community. This includes
people of all ages and experience
levels from beginners to advanced
players. ?

Presently, the club has about
five members,. and includes
members of the community as
well, since the group meets off
campus. The club is advised by
Alex Georgakilas, a member
of ECU Ts Biology Department.

The long-term goal of the
Judo Club is to become a more
established organization on
ECU Ts campus, and to compete
with area schools, includ-
ing N.C. State and UNC
Chapel Hill, among others.

According to Gray, Judo is a
martial art designed for self-defense.
Originated in 1882 in Japan, Judo
has become widespread in the U.S.,
and is supported by three national
Judo organizations: United States
Judo, Inc., the United States Judo
Association and the United States
Judo Federation. It can also be
seen as a sport in the Olympics.

In Judo, a person practices
the art of using the least force to
achieve maximum results against
an attacker or enemy. This can be
achieved by using pins, arm bars
and throws. Participants in the
sport learn how to fall after being

Professor Profile:
Festus Eribo

BEN HARRIS
STAFF WRITER

Many students have lives
that are so convoluted with
deadlines, studying, bills and
work that they have very little,
if any, time to engage in any
form of extra curricular activi-
ties. Communication pyofessor
Festus Eribo, who has diligently
taught thousands of ECU stu-
dents since 1989, found enough

a newspaper, all the while travel-
ing to some of the most presti-
gious universities in the world
gaining an education that many
of the most privileged students
only dream about.

Born in Nigeria, Eribo
attended a British school for
African boys where he first
gained an interest in journal-
ism. When he was 17 years old,
he published The Torch, which
was his schools first newspaper.

oT noticed a scarcity [in
writing and information shar-
ing ] so I started my own paper, ?
said Eribo.

Eventually, Eribo realized
that due to his exceptional
writing skills and penchant for
information sharing, journalism
was his calling.

At 19 years old, he became
Editor-in-Chief of The Sword,
his schools magazine. Accord-
ing to Eribo, the magazine had
great writers and material but
had great difficulty in being
published due to lack of useable
printers.

Professor molds minds
of future journalists

However, Eribo Ts uncle,
who was one of Nigeria Ts most
prominent industrialists, had a
printing press which allowed
the magazine to exist if only for
one issue.

After graduating from the
school, Eribo furthered his edu-
cation by attending the Univer-
sity of St. Petersburg in Russia
on a full scholarship where he
earned his bachelor Ts in journal-
ism and his duel master Ts in busi-
ness administration and journal-
ism. After receiving his master Ts,
Eribo went back to Africa where
he wrote three to five articles a
day while doing editor Ts work
and constantly thinking of
ways to improve journalism
on the expansive continent.

Eribo longed to study in
America, thanks to his pas-
sionate love for the country
brought on by pen pals he had
corresponded with since he
was 14. His dream remained
unattainable for most of his life
because of the high cost of living
inthe WIS. +=

In 1969, Eribo Ts dreams
were finally realized because of
a scholarship which allowed him
to study anywhere in the world.
He chose the University of
Madison-Wisconsin in which to
earn his doctorate in journalism.

Dr. Eribo went back to
Africa in 1983 where he handled
the press for Nigeria Ts governor,
Samuel Ogbemudia.

oHe [Samuel Ogbemudia] is
a great man and he is known all
throughout Nigeria, ? Eribo said.

Eribo still enjoys a good
relationship with the governor

both young and old, are encour-
aged to join, ? said Gray.

Judo is ranked on a belt system,
much like other martial arts.
The type of belt each person
receives dictates what kind of tour-
naments they will get involved in.

There are ways to become
involved with Judo without having to

do any actual self-defense techniques.
Gray says that students are also
encouraged to learn how to become
areferee of Judo or practice a grace-
ful form of the sport, called Kata.
oNot all students have to
become competitive, ? Gray said.
For more information on the
Judo Club, or to learn how you

can get involved, contact Gray at

A sleaze filled saga of an

That Ts the tag line for
Grindhouse, the new cinematic
experience from directors Robert
Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino.

Grindhouse really is an experi-
ence in exploitation cinema; each
director has created their own full-
length movie paying homage to the
action, thriller horror and sci-fi B-
list movies of the 1970s and 1980s.

Rodriguez's film, Planet Terror, -

revolves around ex-Go-Go dancer
Cherry and her boyfriend as they
and the local police force take on a
mysterious virus that turns people
into osickos ? who eat and infect
other humans.

Death Proof, Tarantino's film,
follows the psychotic Stuntman
Mike, brilliantly played by Kurt
Russell, as he stalks and murders
women with his weapon of choice,
his car, that is until his luck turns
around on him and he Ts on the

receiving end.

On top of that, the two films
are connected by a handful of
hilarious mock B-list trailers that
offer almost as much fun as the
two films themselves.

However, if you're expecting
the next Pulp Fiction, you'd better
think again.

These two movies aren't to
be taken seriously or be over
analyzed either; doing so misses
the whole point of the movies that
inspired these directors.

In comparing the two films,
many critics have been quick to say
that Tarantino Ts Death Proofis the
more valuable of the two.

While they are very different
and difficult to compare, I have
to disagree.

I was surprised that Rodri-
guez Ts film packed in more horror,
more sex, more gore and, in the
end, more excitement. His story
was wilder and offered loads of
suspense, yet it still managed to
offer plenty. of laughs.

Everything about Planet
Terror, from the dialogue down

MCT

to the story, takes the horror and
sci-fi genre it represents and kicks
it up a notch.

That Ts not to say that Tar-
antino Ts movie was bad. On the
contrary, it was still a great flick
"it did, however, seem that the
dialogue just tended to go on fora
little too long towards the middle
of the movie.

Not to mention that Death
Proof has one of the most amaz-
ing car crash scenes ever created,
which shows, from various angles,
what happens to each of the four
passengers in the vehicle durmg a
head-on collision.

16th season at Rice, where
he has won 710 games; Prior
to coaching at Rice, Graham
won five national champion-
ships and tallied 575 wins
at San Jacinto North Col-
lege; Graham led Rice to its
first national championship
in 2003 and has taken the
Owls to 12-straight NCAA
Tournament appearances and
five College World Series T
since 1997; he is a three-time
national coach of the year and
was named the Collegiate
Baseball Ts National Junior
College Athletic Association Ts
coach of the century for his
success at San Jacinto North
College; Rice swept ECU this
past weekend, and currently
sits in first in C-USA and No.
7 in the nation

Years since the winner
of the Masters golf tourna-
ment finished with a score of
over-par; this year Ts Masters
winner, Zach Johnson, shot a
69 on Sunday to finish with a
four-round total of 289 (+1)
and win his first ever Mas-
ters; the last time someone
won the prestigious event
with a +1 score was in 1956,
which was also the first year
that the Masters was ever
televised, when Jack Burke
Jr. won the event; this feat
also happened in 1954 when
Sam Snead Ts score of 289 won
him a green jacket; Johnson,
a 31-year-old from Iowa, beat
out PGA Tour veterans Tiger
Woods, Retief Goosen and
Rory Sabbatini on Sunday as
all three finished in a tie for
second place

Runs allowed by the ECU

led in three of four games
played last week, but couldn't
pick up any victories on the
week; last Wednesday, ECU
was leading NC State 2-0
heading into the bottom of
the eighth, but relievers Jason
Neitz and Shane Mathews
allowed three runs in the
inning, which gave the Wolf-
pack the 3-2 win; Mathews,
who leads C-USA in saves,
allowed five runs in two

finish in the 4 x 100 relay and
a fifth place mark in the 4 x

had the most success for the
women as her mark of 55.17 in
the hammer throw event was
good enough for third place

ECU suffers first ever
sweep at Clark-LeClair
Stadium

RONNIE WOODWARD
ASST. SPORTS EDITOR

Conference USA teams haven't
had much success against Rice
since it joined the league in 2006,
and the ECU baseball team didn Tt
do much to change that as it got
swept by No. 7 Rice this past
weekend.

Rice has won all 11 of its C-
USA series T and now has a 34-3
record as a member of C-USA,
including last year Ts regular season
and postseason championships.

oThey have good players, they
have great tradition and they
expect to win, ? ECU Head Coach
Billy Godwin said of Rice on
Sunday. oWhen they get down
they Tre not going to quit. ?

The Pirates led in both the Sat-
urday and Sunday games against
Rice, which has made five Col-
lege World Series appearances
since 1997 and captured the 2003
National Championship, but lost
both games to the national power-
house. Rice picked up a comeback
victory on Saturday, 9-6, and
comeback win on Sunday, 8-6, to
close out the series and hand ECU
its first ever series sweep at Clark-
LeClair Stadium and first overall
since the 2002 season.

oIt was two good programs
going up against each other and
we came up on the short end, ? said
Godwin. oI Tm not going to over-
analyze it, somehow I have to get

these guys to believe in themselves
again and that has to take place
between now and Wednesday. ?

Saturday Ts loss was the most
devastating as ECU scored in
each of the first three innings, but
squandered a 5-0 lead. Rice scored
nine runs in the final six innings,
including a five-run fifth, to pick
up the 9-6 victory.

Rice Ts designated hitter, Aaron

Luna, capped off the Owls five-run _

inning with a double that scored
two and gave Rice a 6-5 lead.
Third baseman J.P. Padron led
off the Rice fifth when he reached
on a fielding error. ECU then sur-
rendered two walks and allowed an

Owl to score on a wild pitch prior
to Luna Ts game-winning hit.

oI haven Tt coached in many
games where you give up five
runs in an inning and come out
on the positive side of things, ? said
Godwin. oI think it was a combina-
tion of several things, we walked
some guys in that inning and there
were some balls I thought we could
have got to or made plays on that
we didn't, so I think it was a combi-
nation of things and not one thing
I could put my finger on. ?

The Pirates had the lead again
on Sunday, as starting pitcher Josh
Dowdy provided another strong
outing, allowing two runs in 6 1/3

innings. ECU Ts bullpen couldn't
maintain the lead however, as
the Pirate relievers combined to
give up six runs in the final 2 2/3
innings.

ECU rallied in the seventh and
eighth, scoring two runs in each
inning, but Rice answered each
time as it scored seven runs in the
final three innings. Rice Ts Adam
Zornes, who entered the game in
the seventh inning as a defensive
replacement, hit a two-run home
run in the eighth and Jess Buenger

ECU will host C-USA Baseball Championship

Site to change for this
year Ts event; Tulane will
host in 2008

(SID) "The 2007 Conference
USA Baseball Championship,
originally scheduled for May 23-
27 at Turchin Stadium in New
Orleans, will be changing sites.
Due to continuing renovations
on the stadium since Hurricane
Katrina, the facility will not be
completed in time to host the
eight-team, double-elimination
tournament.

oWe were disappointed to learn
that Turchin Stadium will not be
ready to host the 2007 C-USA
Baseball Championship, since we
expect it will be one of the finest
college baseball facilities in the
country when it is completed, ? said
Commissioner Britton Banowsky.

With Tulane unable to hold
this year Ts event, ECU will now
serve as the host of the 2007
championship at Clark-LeClair
Stadium in Greenville, N.C. ECU
was originally scheduled to host
the 2008 championship and Tulane

Josh Dowdy _

SID

Dowdy was one of the bright
spots for the Pirates this past
weekend as he continues to
pitch well as the Sunday start-
ing pitcher. Dowdy pitched 6
1/3 innings against No. 7 Rice
on Sunday, allowing only two
runs off six hits. Dowdy now
has a 1-1 record in six starts
this season, and has the lowest
ERA (2.48) of the Pirates three
weekend starters. Opponents
are batting .211 against him and
have only scored 10 runs in 36
1/3 innings.

I thought Josh Dowdy was
outstanding today, he certainly did
everything we asked him to do. He
left the game with us winning and
gave us the opportunity to win,
that Ts all we can ask out of our
starting pitching, I thought he did
a great job. ? " ECU Head Coach

WINLESS continued from A6

single in the ninth to secure the
sweep for the Owls.

ECU Ts bullpen struggled
throughout the weekend, giving
up nine runs in 11 1/3 innings
against Rice.

The Pirates led in three of
their four games last week, includ-
ing ECU Ts 3-2 loss to in-state
rival N.C. State last Wednesday,
but came up empty for the week
and will be on a four-game losing
streak when they play at UNCW
tomorrow night.

Overall, ECU Ts bullpen
allowed 12 runs in 14 2/3 innings
last week. Pirate closer Shane
Mathews, who leads C-USA in
saves, suffered the loss against
N.C. State and allowed a total of
five runs in two innings in the
Pirate Ts winless week.

oOur club has done a good
job of coming from behind and
battling but the last week we've
had some leads and haven Tt been
able to put teams away or Keep the

_ lead, which somewhat concerns

me, ? said Godwin.

The only game ECU didn Tt
lead in last week came on Friday
night against Rice. Owls ace Ryan
Berry kept the Pirates in check
as he recorded a career-high
12 strikeouts in seven shutout
innings. Reliever Ryne Tacker

oHe threw strikes and mixed
up his breaking ball and fastball
real well, ? Godwin said after the
Pirates were shutout for the first
time since Feb. 21. oI don Tt think
we had good approaches at the
plate. We didn Tt battle in some
counts and we have to do a better
job of that. We Tre not going to
win any games if we don Tt score
any runs. ?

Berry, a freshman from
Humble, Tex., spread out the 12
strikeouts as he rang up all nine of
the Pirates T starters at least once.
He allowed only four hits and one
walk, which came against the last
batter he faced.

oHe threw a lot T of strikes
around the zone, ? said Pirate
outfielder Ryan Tousley. oHe
moved the ball well with his
off-speed pitches and mixed in
his fastball too. He kept us off-
balanced. We only got four hits
off him, so we have to give credit
to him. ?

ECU has now played 10 games
