School ef Communication
director switches gears
Hudson takes on new
role within the college
JAMI DAVIA
STAFF WRITER
Dr. Timothy Hudson, director
of the School of Communication,
has decided to take over as the
director of Special Projects for the
College Fine Arts and Communi-
cation within the next 6 months.
This change is due to many
new advancements in the college
that have allowed the admin-
istration to take a step back
and work on refining important
parts of their programming.
oThe ECU School of Com-
munication has just experienced
several years of amazing change,
growth and progress. So much has
happened so quickly that parts of
the broader institution are reeling
and students are making major
adjustments, ? said Hudson.
oSo, now is the perfect time
for a period of calm and stew-
ardship. New faculty will find
their niches; students will ben-
efit from the larger staff, new
curriculum and improved facili-
ties and. the school can really
put the increased budgetary
and private resources to work. ?
Dr. Jeffery Elwell, the dean
for the College of Fine Arts and
Communication, wants to look at
enrollment management and set
up more international programs
within the college.
They also hope to expand the
college into three or four depart-
ments and add more major gradu-
até programs into the curriculum.
oAs for the School of Com-
munication, it is in terrific hands
and in better shape than ever
before. In a few years, I predict
the College of Fine Arts and
Communication as well as the
broader University community will
have a stronger understanding of

Researchers hope to gain further FELLOWSHIP
knowledge on Multiple Sclerosis
Researchers at ECU are working to find out the effects of MS on couples.
Study conducted at ECU
JAMI DAVIA
STAFF WRITER
ECU Ts Department of Child
Development and Family Relations
is conducting a research study to
further their knowledge of those
_ living and coping with the disease
of Multiple Sclerosis (MS).
The study will be composed of
couples, consisting of at least one
partner with MS. The purpose
of the study is to discover how
both the partner with MS and
the partner without deal with the
disease. In other words, it looks
at how each perspective comes
into play when it comes to dealing
with the diagnosis of MS.
The study will consist of an
hour-long interview where each
individual agrees to discuss
their experience with MS. The
research process is still being
tweaked.
oOne of the goals for the proj-
ect is to help us refine this inter-
view to make sure we are asking
the right questions and focusing
on the key issues when it comes
to understanding how couples
cope with multiple sclerosis.
oRight now we are in the pilot
phase "we are revising the inter- -
view to make sure it is where it
needs to be before we start the next
phase of the research, ? said Director
Mark White, associate professor.
Requirements for the study are
that couples must be in a committed
relationship and that one member
must have a specific diagnosis of
MS. There is no age requirement,
so anyone interested is encouraged
to participate. Also, as an incentive,
all participants will receive a $25
Target gift card.
Eastern North Carolina Ts contact
with the National Multiple Sclerosis
Society [NMSS] is commissioned
through the Eastern North Caro-
lina Chapter Office in Raleigh, NC.
The society doesn Tt keep individ-
ual statistics for each county as far
as numbers of those living with MS,
but they do keep data on those per-
sons registered within the society.
These individuals have signed
up for the society Ts mailing list or
other circulated information.
According to an information
specialist in the chapter, there are
3, 962 registered clients within the _
Eastern NC Chapter,
- As far as national statistics, the
NMSS Web site is extremely help-
ful to both those living with MS and
those simply researching the disease:
The Web site includes-accurate
information on how MS is defined,
who is more prone to acquiring
the disease, symptoms, diagnosis,
causes and a detailed history of
MS Ts discovery and evolvement
through time.
There is also a news reel,
_ various event information, detailed
accounts of treatment methods and
accredited research practices.
Most people diagnosed with
MS are between the ages of 20 and
50, according to the Web site.
Although there is no evi-
dence that MS is inherited, some
genetic factors may make certain
individuals more susceptible to
the disease. An estimated two
to three times as many women
than men have the disease.
According to nmss.org, oMS
occurs more commonly among
people with northern Euro-
pean ancestry, but people of
African, Asian, and Hispanic
backgrounds are not immune.
Approximately 400,000 Ameri-
cans acknowledge having MS and
every week about 200 people are
diagnosed. Worldwide, MS may
affect 2.5 million individuals. ?

research project, contact Mark

Getting tipsy in
Greenville
Supporting independent business
_ JARED WOFFORD
OPINION WRITER
For better or worse, I have called Greenville my home. Since
moving here as a freshman, I have seen people come and go, and
have watched our town as it continually expanded, developed,
and defined itself. In this short time, I have witnessed the grand
openings and closeouts of many local businesses, restaurants and
bars, several of which I frequented and enjoyed. One trend | have
observed over the years is that while national chains continue
to thrive, independent establishments that provide specialized
goods or services are suffering. 5
Unfortunately for the citizenry of Greenville, it is these types
of places that bless our city with diversity, culture and a sense of
local identity. One particular establishment, which has managed
to survive where many small businesses cannot, does just that.
Floating stoically like an island.in the intoxicating, chaotic
tide that washes over much of Greenville Ts uptown district is
Acasia Ts Tipsy Teapot and Parker-Kennybrook Bookstore. Nestled
together on South Evans Street, the Teapot is an English-style
tea room and a new and used bookstore, all under the same
pressed-tin roof. Here, patrons can enjoy the extensive menu of
tea, pastries, sandwiches, and more; as well as peruse through
hundreds of books. Inside, you are certain to find people chatting,
studying, reading, or working; and I almost always see someone
I know (or someone | would very much like to know).
My favorite aspect of this experience is the front window.
The view consists of rainbow-colored umbrellas and trees that
frame storefronts that are endowed with colorful striped awnings.
Across the street, people window shop while tiny birds frantically
bounce around to avoid them on their hunt for crumbs.
One day, while reclining on one of the Teapot Ts over-sized red
chairs, I had to pause for a moment to remember where I was. Then
the thought occurred to me that this place that I was enjoying,
while located in the center of town, looked nothing like the rest of
Greenville; and that the mood it created was consistent with such.
With only a few blocks separating my current position from the
dilapidated bars, frat houses and chronic construction that I have
grown so accustomed to, I somehow felt like I was worlds away.
I began to wonder, is it because of this that I am so compelled
to visit this place? While I do enjoy aspects of the Greenville
experience, has my relationship to this town grown sour enough
that I seek a means to escape it?
Since I discovered the Tipsy Teapot two years ago, I have
subscribed to the belief that it represents aspects of our fair city
that are lacking. Community, art, culture, southern hospitality,
productivity "all of these abstract, desirable qualities seem to
manifest themselves here. Combine all this with an inexhaustible
source of yerba mate, and I have no choice but to claim the Tipsy
Teapot as one of my favorite spots in Greenville. I urge all citizens
of our city to visit this place, and others like it and to encourage
and support businesses that promote such a unique and friendly
experience. It is mutually beneficial for us to patronize such
institutions and to keep small, independently-owned companies .
around so that one day, places like this can define the Greenville
spirit and not defy it.

The artistic side of Greenville
Greenville Museum of
Art offers something for
everyone
BEN HARRIS
STAFF WRITER
With a quick casual glance, the
average passer-by would-have no
idea that the beautiful brick house
across from Ham Ts contains some
of the most beautiful and creative
works of art ever to be created by
North Carolina artists.
The house, currently known
as the Greenville Museum of
Art, has a long and rich history.
It began with the first Wom-
en Ts Club Art Festival in 1935.
The event was very successful
and led to the development of a per-
manent visual arts facility in 1939.
The organization was headed by
Rachel Maxwell Moore. Through
Moore Ts excellent leadership and
passion for art, the organiza-
tion became a Works Project
Administration (WPA) project.
oThe WPA was created as part
of Franklin Roosevelt Ts New Deal
and it was designed to keep artists
employed throughout the great
depression, ? said GMA Director
David Shankweiler. When Con-
gress terminated the WPA in 1943,
the federal government granted a
permanent loan of artworks to the
organization. In 1955, the organi-
zation merged with the East Caro-
_ was the architect of this merger and -
lina Arts Society. Dr. Lee Humber
it was with his help that the current
house that contains the museum
was purchased in 1959.
The museum formally opened
in 1960 and attracted an amazing
7,000 visitors in its first two weeks.
Since then, under the leader-
ship of former director Mary Pen-
nington, the museum has achieved
accreditation from the American
Association of Museums. This feat
is considered remarkable since
only three percent of museums
nationwide receive the honor.
Shankweiler, who has directed
the museum since 2006, has also done
many things to better the museum
both in and out of the community.
One of these things is the
expansion of the summer programs
that the museum offers. There is
a summer program for virtually
every age group.
MiniMasters, which is offered
to four and a half to five-year-olds,
teaches young children about art
from different places, as well as
the creation of different forms of
simple art. _
Sizzlin Summer Art Camp,
which is offered to six to 10-year-
olds, focuses on the teaching of
international art and the advanced
forms of subject-based.drawing.

lina Idol Musical Theatre, is offered

Convenient drug of choice may cause addiction
Coffee is a common caffeine source.
SO}OY
Are students hooked on
caffeine?
CAT POTTER "
STAFF WRITER
After a late night of studying,
many college students need a boost
to make it through the next day.
For junior English major Sarah
Stebnicki, along with many other
students, this boost comes in the
form of caffeine, and is obtained by
the consumption of coffee.
oT have at least two cups before
I leave the house every morning, ?
said Stebnicki. :
Stebnicki has been drinking
coffee regularly since she was 15.
Often times, the occasional cup
of coffee ta keep a student alert
can turn into many, decreasing the
effectiveness of the caffeine.
For Stebnicki, a stint at one
of Greenville Ts Starbucks coffee
houses for several years fostered
her reliance on caffeine to make it
through the day.
oI was drinking espresso like "
everyday and I got to the point
where it didn Tt even effect me very
much, ? Stebnicki said.
The consumption of caffeine is
not only limited to the population of
college students. Researchers esti-
mate that about 80 percent of the
world Ts population consumes some
form of caffeine on a daily basis.
Though caffeine is obviously
a staple in America Ts diet, medical
research has yet to fully determine
whether caffeine has positive or
negative effects on one Ts health.
A recent study at Duke Univer-
sity Medical Center revealed that
caffeine has an effect on the body that
lasts all day and can increase stress
in people who consume it daily.
However, some people believe
caffeine has little or no effect on them.
Caroline Boyd, sophomore reha-
bilitation studies major, claims that

NFL teams gear up for season 5
Opinion
MATT SIMON
STAFF WRITER |
NFL training camp starts next week,
and The East Carolinian has these teams
having the best chance to win the Super
Bowl in 2007:
1) New England Patriots- Already
a perennial contender to go to the Super
Bowl each year, the Patriots actually made
a splash this offseason by adding some
bignames to their roster. Adalius Thomas,
who recorded 11 sacks with the Baltimore
Ravens last year, comes to the Patriots as
a free agent and will fit in with an already
stacked defensive front seven. His versatil-
ity in pass rushing and coverage will blend
well with Bill Belichick Ts defensive schemes.
Randy Moss, the other bigname to landin
New England, should look more like the
receiver he was in Minnesota with Tom
Brady throwing him the ball this year.
2) San Diego Chargers- New
head coach Norv Turner has inherited
the most talented team in the league.
The Chargers went 14-2 last season,
and Turner will have some nice toys
-to play with on both sides of the ball.
LaDainian Tomlinson at halfback and
Antonio Gates at tight end are the best
players in the league at their respective
positions, and QB Phillip Rivers should
have an even better year in 2007 in
Turner's offensive system. The Chargers
~ finished in the top-10 in total defense
in 2006, and boast the NFLs most
intense pass rusher, Shawn Merriman.
Merriman led the league in sacks last
season despite missing four games for a
banned-substance suspension.
3) Indianapolis Colts-Some might
expect the defending champion Colts to
be ranked No. 1 in the preseason, but due
to the big offseason moves by the rival
Patriots, the overflow of talent in San
Diego and the loss of some key starters
from their already flimsy defense, they
come in at No. 3. All-Pro quarterback
Peyton Manning will again be teamed
up with the league's best receiver tandem
of Marvin Harrison and Reggie Wayne,
who combined for 2,676 yards and 21
touchdowns in 2006. The Colts also
recently re-signed Dwight Freeney,
who will keep the pressure on opposing
team Ts quarterbacks in 2007.
4) Baltimore Ravens- Led by the
leagues topranked andmostfeared defense
in 2006, the Ravens finished 2006 with an
impressive 13-3 record. The defense is led
by future hall offame linebacker Ray Lewis,
who keeps his teammates playing with
passion every time they take the field Pro
Bowler Ts Ed Reed and Chris McAllister
anchor the secondary that is known for
picking off passes and finishing the play
in the end zone. Steve McNair T arrival
in 2006 gave Baltimore the confidence it
needed to play well on both offense and
defense. The Ravens also added running
back Willis McGhee this offseason, to
make up for the departure of Jamal Lewis.
5) Chicago Bears- The NFCs best
team has a very strong defense, but has an
offense surrounded by question marks. If
QB Rex Grossman can find some consis-
tency in his play this season then expect
the Bears to dominate the NFC again in
2007. Grossman will have more targets
to throw to in T07 in the Bears first round

draft selection Greg Olson and dynamic
return specialist Devin Hester, both from
the University of Miami. Olsen is a big,
pass-catching tightend whocanbea young
quarterback Ts best friend, and Hester has
been moved to offense after a spectacular
rookie season.
6) Philadelphia Eagles- Donavan
McNabb Ts health will play a huge role
in how well this team performs in 2007.
Last year, with McNabb injured and Jeff
Garcia at the helm, the Eagles won the
NFC East title and made it to the second
round of the playoffs. This led many fanat-
ical Philadelphia fans to call for McNabb Ts
outs as starting OB. The fact is McNabb,
before hisinjury, was playing as well as he
ever had, putting together an MVP-like
season. The Eagles let Garcia leave to
explore free agency, but kept pressure on
McNabb by drafting Houston quarter-
back Kevin Kolb with their first pick in
the 07 draft. The Eagles defenseis a well-
rounded unit that is known for its attack-
ing: style, blitzing from different angles
to keep opposing offenses off balance.
7) New Orleans Saints- Drew
Brees T helped turn around the Saints
organization in 2006. A perfect fit for
coach Sean Peyton Ts schemes, Brees
threw 26 touchdowns and quarterbacked
the top offense in the NFL last year. Joe
Horn, Marques Colston, Devery Hen-
derson and ECU alum Terrance Copper
performed well for Brees at receiver.
Theexciting Reggie Bush also flour-
ished as a receiver out of the backfield,
posting an NFL record 88 receptions
for 742 yards. The Saints aren't gong
to sneak up on anybody this year, so
we'll have to see how everyone's favorite
underdogs are going to handle playing
with a target on their back in 07.
8) Dallas Cowboys- QB Tony
Romo started out great after taking over
forthe struggling Drew Bledsoe in week
seven last season, but struggled near the
end of the season.
This season will be Romo Ts first
as the unquestioned starter and he will
be looking to his duo of receivers in
the flamboyant Terrell Owens and the
always-reliable Terry Glenn. Dallas has
anew head coach in Wade Phillips, who
was the defensive coordinator for the
Chargers last season. Phillips brings a
defensive scheme that will fit the Cowboys
3-4: defense, which he ran to perfection in
San Diego. Watch for DeMarcus Ware,
the Cowboy's outside linebacker, to be
used much in the way that Shawn Mer-
riman was in San Diego.
9) Carolina Panthers- The Good
News: The Panthers basically have the
same roster that many analysts picked to
win the Super Bowl in 2006. The Bad
News: The Panthers basically have the
same roster that many analysts pick to
win the Super Bowlin 2006, but finished
8-8 and missed the playoffs. Injuries and
the constant shuffling of players on the
offensive line cost Carolina in 2006. All-
Pro wide receiver Steve Smith missed
the first three games of the season with
a hamstring injury, and starting QB
Jake Delhomme missed three key games
toward the end of the season, and the
offense lacked consistency during those.
periods as a result. Carolina's defensive
_ unit finished seventh in the league
in total defense in 2006, and should
improve this year with the return of Dan
Morgan and Mike Rucker. The Panthers
also released veteran wide receiver
Keyshawn Johnson after drafting the
talented Dwayne Jarrett out of USC,
but the lack of a proven threat on the
other side spells trouble for the Carolina
offense, and will mean more double and
triple teams for Smith.
10) Denver Broncos- Rookie Jay
Cutler played well after taking over as the
starter in Week 12 last season, finishing
the season with nine touchdowns and
1,001 passing yards. During the offseason,
Denver traded for cornerback Dre T Bly to
play opposite pro bowler Champ Bailey
and drafted Florida's pass: rusher Jarvis
Moss to add to their talented defense.
The team also added veteran running
back Travis Henry to the offense. Henry .
ran for over 1,200 yards for the Titans last
year, and should thrive behind the Broncos
offensive line that produces 1,000-yard
rushers every year.

One of Stokes T three seniors,
Taylor Gagnon, also feels the
freshman class is very solid
and will be able to make strong
contributions this season.
oI think these new guys are
going to help out a lot, ? said
Gagnon. oWe've played some
pick-up games together and they
all looked very impressive..
oThey re all pretty big
and strong, which is great for
freshmen. Getting here early in
_. the summer and working out and
ostuff will work out nicely come
the fall. ?
Gagnon, who grew up in
Greenville and played high
school ball at J.H. Rose, will
be relied on for leadership this
season.
He understands his role will
«be much different this year than
in the past.
oIt is a little bit different
of an outlook, ? he said. oThe
past few years I have just.
kind of been trying to help
the team and do my job but
this year I feel I have more
of a responsibility being
a ee
a senior, primarily with
leadership not only on the
court, but also off. I want
to be friendly to everybody,
get everybody working hard
and having the right attitude
towards the game. ?
Stokes and his staff have
already begun recruiting
for the 2008 class, and will
get a minor break in August
before preseason workouts
and classes start this fall.
This is a T very important
séason for the pirates

wins and improvement.
oIT think we have to prove to ~
people this year, that we are a
hard working group of guys, ?
said Gagnon. oWe do deserve
to have a good year because
we work hard for it. I think
that Ts all we can do is continue
to work hard and hope that
things. will turn around for
us, and I think they will if we
