A remembrance ceremony

to honor the lives lost during

Staff Photo

the Sept. 11 attacks will be held
tonight at Mendenhall Student
Center at 6 p.m.

The event is sponsored by
The Foundation for the Defense of
Democracies [FDD] and SGA.

FDD is a non-profit organi-

zation that raises awareness of
terrorism to students.

The organizers made it clear
that this is not going to be a
political event.

oIt Ts really more about the
loss of American life, ? said Joel
Carter, member of FDD.

oThe last thing that troops
want to come home to is an anti-
war protest. ?

The ceremony is part of a
year-long fellowship to have a
number of awareness campaigns
on campus.

The first memorial cer-

Weeks of Kindness starts
with hugs for everyone

Hug It Out Day kicks
off the program

KIMBERLY BELLAMY
NEWS EDITOR

The Weeks of Kindness pro-
gram kicked off yesterday with
Hug It Out Day, which was
co-sponsored by the Center for
Counseling and Student Devel-
opment and SGA.

Students in SGA, Peer
Health, and Healthy Pirates
were in Wright Plaza from 11
a.m. to 2 p.m. to offer hugs to
their fellow Pirates as an act of
kindness and unity.

oT think there were three SGA
students and one Peer Health stu-
dent out there today, ? said Renita
Moore, education program spe-
cialist for the Center of Counsel-
ing and Student Development.

National Suicide Prevention
Week and Stop a Suicide Today!
Day also began on September 10.

Each program and event

is related to one another by T

attempting to create positive

relationships among students and _
Screening Day on Oct. 11. and

to let them know that assistance

"is available if they need counsel-

ing or help.

oThe purpose of Hug It Out
Day is to raise awareness and
observance of this day and to
hand out suicide prevention
material, ? Moore said.

Hug passes were given out by
students in Wright Place that acted
as a tool to continue the pattern of
giving hugs throughout the day.

The individual that gave
out the Hug Pass was entitled

to a hug from the receiver of
the pass.

The receiver then became a
giver of the pass, which created
a network of hugging.

Other materials passed out
during this time period included
suicide prevention information
that gave statistics about the
percentage of suicides committed
by college students, tips for rec-
ognizing suicidal individuals and
how to treat this condition.

These materials acted as a
tool to inform the ECU com-
munity about the prevalence of
suicide in this area.

oThe main thing was to raise
awareness about these mental
health issues that aren't normally
talked about in big group set-
tings, ? Moore said.

SGA and the Counseling
Center are in the planning stages
for other events to include in the
Weeks of Kindness.

oThere are two events that
are currently being worked on in
collaboration with SGA and the
Center for Counseling and Stu-
dent Development, ? said James
Wagoner, chief of staff for SGA.

Definite events planned for
this program include Random
Acts of Kindness Day and World
Mental Health Day.

SGA has been working on
making the idea of Weeks of
Kindness come to life prior to the
beginning of the semester.

oWe've been planning all
summer for the Weeks of Kind-
ness and we're hoping to make it a

_ tradition, ? said Guillaume Bagal,

secretary of SGA.

The program will end on
October 10 with the World
Mental Health Day.

Students are encouraged to
attend the National Depression

the upcoming Weeks of Kind-
ness events. :

The next event sponsored by
the Counseling Center will be their
open house on September 27.

The Counseling Center is
located in 316 of the Wright
Building. You can reach the
Counseling Center at 328-6661.

emony was held last year and had
a turnout of over. 100 students
and community members.

The organizers hope that the
number will increase this year.

oWe're expecting a bigger
crowd because we've linked up
with SGA, ? said Chris Federici,
vice president of the local chap-
ter of the FDD.

oWe want as much participation
from the student body as possible. ?

Major Kevin Smeltzer of the
Greenville Police Department
will be one of the memorial Ts
guest speakers.

Representatives from
the fire department and the
National Guard are also
expected to speak.

Members of the ECU ROTC
will present the color guard and
Phi Mu Sinfonia will perform
the National Anthem.

Carter was a member of the
82.4 Airborne when the attacks
occurred six years ago.

He was in a Fort Bragg chow
hall when he heard the news
and spent the rest of the day as
a member of a 24-hour watch
team, according to Carter. A few

months later Carter was sent to
Afghanistan.

Federici had an uncle in the
second tower of the World Trade
Center who maneged to escape
without harm.

Unfortunately, Federici lost
some of his high school friends
in the attack.

Both organizers will be
graduating soon, but they hope
that the memorial will continue
and become an annual event.

Criminal background checks
may become a requirement

Faculty Senate follows
security trend

MEGAN BUCHAUER
STAFF WRITER

East Carolina University
may soon follow a security trend
set by several other University
of North Carolina public insti-
tutions and begin to require
criminal background checks on

. all prospective faculty.

There are currently no
background checks done on
new faculty at ECU, accord-
ing to the human resources
department.

oIt is traditional for most
universities across the country
to not do background checks on
faculty, ? said John Durham, ECU
Chief Public Affairs Officer.

There is no. requirement
by the state of North Carolina

for public universities to do

criminal background checks on
faculty, according to Durham.

At ECU, the Faculty Senate
creates the policy of whether or
not criminal background checks
are mandatory:

Later this semester, the Fac-

the proposal of a reevaluation of

tion Guidelines.

of the application process.

The proposal, which was
suggested last year, will be

There are faculty members
that oppose the proposal and
believe it to be unnecessary
according to Taggart.

careful as a part of the applica-
tion process, ? Taggart said.

Some organizations such
as the American Association of
University Professors [AAUP]
are against faculty criminal
background checks.

According to aaup.org, crim-
inal background checks infringe
upon the privacy of the candi-
date and should only be done to
ensure that the candidate is qual-
ified for specified obligations.

oWe have faculty that are
members of AAUP. It Ts just
like politics. You have people
with very strongly held views.
You have to let them express
the views and after the views
have been expressed you have

Many students hope that
the faculty criminal background

{ That's what he said... }

Our last years

Why you'll die or how you Tll survive

ALEX LAROCCA
OPINION WRITER

Since the beginnings of civilization the end has
been near. Today, tomorrow, or 20 years from now,
someone is bound to get it right eventually. The
biggest problems with predicting the end, I think,
involve where we look.

Many people have been looking in the Christian
Bible for clues for centuries. But before Jesus was
even born, another race and creed had not only cor-
rectly predicted doomsday, but also put scientific
backing to it.

December 21, 2012, will signify the completion
of the thirteenth B Tak Ttun cycle in the Long Count
of the Maya calendar. According to the Mayans,
this shall usher in a great change, which they rec-
ognize, basically, as the end of the world.

Laugh all you want, but on this day of Solstice,
some modern-day scientists also believe that the
entire polarity of the Earth will shift. Volcanoes
erupting, hurricanes forming in seconds, moun-
tains crumble and fall in mere seconds...Everything
that really sucks will happen in one day.

Well even if all of this does happen, odds are
that not everyone will die. And into this scenario
I place myself. I am not going to die on December
21, 2012. Not only because I recognize that I am
not going to die, but also because I have a plan.
Now, we all have our zombie invasion plans and/or
World War III plans, but in the hell that will be
2012 you need to start from scratch.

The big things to consider here are how not to
die, and if so, how not to die miserably. Anything
past the Mississippi is going to be absolutely
annihilated when the super-volcano in Yellowstone
blows. The Southeast will more than likely flood
completely when hurricanes begin forming every
hour. Going north is no better. |

Not only will the North Pole melt, but also
Canada, and the ensuing flood will have no mercy,
especially when it meets the southern floods. I
couldn Tt possibly imagine going to Mexico for
anything more than a vacation, so there is no
possibility of escape there, either. South America
would be a great place for salvation if an asteroid
wasn Tt hitting it in 2036, so I won't bother getting
comfortable.

The safest place will be the Middle-East. It is
an obvious choice: It is our original Eden, there
are TONS of guns to battle the roaming streets
gangs of the future, and due to the massive climate
change it probably won't be that hot.

Unfortunately, it is thousands of miles away and
flying is the best way to go. I am not sure when I
am leaving, but for anyone following my plans fly
BEFORE Dec. 21, not on.

If you have a fear of flying, then steal a boat,
and if you have a fear of both then keep a tab of
cyanide in your teeth.

So now I have made it and, as stated, I am alive.
Mission accomplished, but I and all the other survi-
vors must rebuild civilization. Some may think that
in the scary, ravaged and poor aftermath of Dec.
22 living in the Middle-East sounds like a death
sentence. These people are not thinking.

This area already has lived in mass poverty,
been exploited and subjugated for centuries.

Needless to say, they have been expecting the T

Apocalypse. :

Not to mention that Islam (obviously being
the dominant religion of the future) has perfect
rules with perfect penalties for such a dangerous
future.

The gangs of the future, either attempting to
spread their doctrine, steal gas or pillage, will have
a hell of a time contending with post-apocalyptic
Islamic Law.

In fact, after the initial defense against these
roving gangs, Muslims will more than likely go
on the offensive, reclaiming most of the old Islamic
Kingdom.

By this time, though, I think things will have
really gotten out of hand and I will attempt to
leave. If I can make it out, and survive the miles of
barren land, then | will attempt to head somewhere
in Europe.

The future jungles of Europe will more than
likely be infested with zombies and you are making
a life choice to live among them. But there is little
leeway in the future and your choices are two:
zombies or Neo-Islam.

If you do manage to survive and go through

with my.plan, or your own, then I suggest a balance T

of these two. In what order I am not sure, though. I

think starting with Neo-Islam will make it easier to .

live with zombies, but perhaps you will need divine
light after dealings with the zombie population.
Either orderisn'tsobad, though, asall thenegatives
of the past, racism and money, will be demolished and
life will not only be happier but violently simplistic.

| love the new additions that were
made to the games this year: the
videos, the Jolly Roger and no
quarter flags,even a dude dressed
almost like Captain Jack, to name a
few. It was awesome!

Drinking and driving causes you |

to miss out on many opportunities,
say, for example, being the starting
quarterback.

| wrote a Rant about you once. I Tm
sorry.

Is it_too: much to ask that | wake up
and there not be vomit on the floor?
For real kids, let's learn something
called self-control and maybe what
a trash can is.

Is there a 12-step program for
caffeine addiction and if so, where
can | sign up?

The VMAs sucked! what is wrong
with the music scene today?!

The Flanagan building almost made
me cry...and | still don Tt know how |
found my class.

How can we have tests this week? |
haven't learned anything yet...

What was up with parking at the
game this past weekend? We tried
to get in at Belk and were told it was
by ticket only?! How many of those
UNC fans had tickets?

Finally, my Pirate Rants paid off! They
built a pirate ship in the stadium!

To the girl in my class, we ALL know
you want him, but we also know he Ts
not interested, so give up and pull up
your shirt!

| enjoyed the wave that went around
and around the stadium this weekend.
Let's do it again!

Here Ts a quick common sense lesson
for the One Card office! If | had a
receipt for the current. semester last
week when you issued me a temp
card, | am probably still a student now,
so why do you insist on making me
stand in the never-ending Cashier Ts
Office Line to get another?

Please stop smoking right before you
come to class and sit near me. | want
to die every time | inhale.

Have. you thanked a Janitor or
Facilities/Maintenance staff member
lately?! We are very fortunate to have
such a wonderful staff to maintain
our beautiful campus!! Thanks to all
oPirate Janitors and Maintenance
staff members! ?

o

I'm sick of hearing my teachers
complain about the copy limit. Can't
the university see that the teachers
can't do their jobs without being able
to make copies?

I Tm into 80 Ts music. 1880's.

ECU is the best place in the world.
The football game against UNC
proved it. GO PIRATES!!!

Grow some morals!

Once again the Student Film
Committee shows its incompetence.
My friends and | went out to
Mendenhall on Friday to go see
Grindhouse, but it turns out that
they had switched the viewing of
Grindhouse to 7 p.m. on a whim
and without mentioning anything to
anyone else. This is on top of the
horrendous fumbling of the 300
sneak preview. Needless to say, we
were all pretty upset, considering we
had planned our whole day around
that one movie.

Since you were so drunk, you lost
your $300 phone. | found it, and you
would think that you would at least
say thank you to me for returning
it to you, but no. | could have sold
that sucker.

The construction between Joyner
and the Old Cafeteria Building is
killing me! Who knew that one little
section of sidewalk could cause so
much stress!

Why don Tt people wear purple on
Fridays anymore? Where is your
Pirate pride?

| don Tt understand why people
are so rude to transit drivers. The
transportation provided is a privilege.
How would you like walking across
campus to class all the time? Please
students, don Tt abuse it. Be respectful
of your drivers. T

Why is it that there are like a million
parties going on right outside of
campus and my roommate claims
that she cannot find ONE to go to?

I Tm glad you have new friends to
impress and hang out with...but once
they find out the oreal ? you, don Tt
come crying to me--l Tll be too busy
laughing to be of any help.

To the drunk guys from last semester...
| STILL have your pen and | think it Ts
happier here with me.

Sometimes | have dreams that | am
stuck in an oven. Then | wake up and
I Tm in Belk. Same difference.

| like how we have to type in those
fuzzy letters after submitting a Pirate
Rant. It makes me feel like I Tm
feeding information to a government
agency.

If anyone was stupid enough to pay
$600 for an iPhone, then they don Tt
deserve their $100 ooops, I Tm an
idiot, ? rebate after Apple reduced the
price. And by the way, $400 is still too
much for a cell phone.

It's bad when we start hoping for a
hurricane just so we can get some
rain around here.

Seeing some guy Ts stomach and
underwear on the poster in the
Croatan every morning really isn Tt all
that appetizing.

| feel invisible with my sunglasses
on.

| really wish I'd never met you. You've
become my personal stalker and it
makes me uncomfortable everytime
| am with you.

Let Ts give everyone a firearm

And put the anger back in danger

YAZID FINN
OPINION WRITER

Safety on any university campus is an issue of
tremendous importance. As mentioned previously
ina TEC article, East Carolina employs numerous
means of keeping its students out of harm Ts way,
like our accredited police force and every system
that falls under the umbrella of Campus Safety.
With nearly five thousand freshmen and the larg-
est student body in ECU Ts history, though, these
systems are sure to be spread thin at times.

With the release of the latest reports detailing
the standards of university safety on campuses
such as Virginia Tech, one account caught my
eye. My surprise did not have to do with the end-
less game of point-the-finger that shamelessly
follows tragedy. It does however, stem from the
ideas that some lawmakers and even students were
bringing to the table to prevent future shootings
at any college.

The pitch: Allow students and teachers to
carry concealed weapons with a license on campus.
Surprisingly enough, this is not that hard of a feat.
Virginia law states that every university campus
is entitled to their opinion in terms of concealed
weapon policies. Currently, Virginia Tech is not
the only school weighing their options in this field
" students from Virginia Ts George Mason are also
voicing interest in the idea.

For the sake of attention spans of those crying
this proposal will breed more violence; I will limit
gun laws to two scenarios: Japan and Israel. The
former bans nearly its entire citizen population
from owning a firearm. The only weapons one
may purchase in Japan range from air rifles to

shotguns and may only be used in sporting and
hunting events. Japan is so strict that it requires
all owners of registered weapons to check them
in for inspection once a year. With this in mind,
Japan experiences roughly two hundred gun
related attacks a year in comparison to the United
States, whom over 50,000 reports annually.

Israel, on the flipside, is a country that openly
gives firearm licenses freely away to its of age
citizens. Here Ts the catch: citizens of Israel are
required to serve in the Israeli Defense Force for
three years, and, upon leaving, become reservists.
Does this deterrent work for the country when

. nearly all of its people may be carrying a loaded
firearm? Facts seem to say so, as Israel ranks
lowest on nearly all available statistics concerning
firearm related attacks and murders.

What does this have to do with colleges? The
point is, anyone who wants to commit violent acts
will, regardless of whether concealed weapons are
legal or not. Most gun related deaths and attacks
are from the barrels of unregistered and stolen
firearms to begin with. Furthermore, guns are not
needed to commit a violent act. Africa alone can
attest to this, with nearly one million deaths from
the sharp end of a machete. Will students persuade
legislators and schools in Virginia to test this
extreme method of self-defense? Most likely not,
but the improbability may not stop students from
going out of their way to protect their lives...

It should be noted that of nearly one hundred
students polled at East Carolina University, the
majority of those asked strongly oppose the idea
of allowing licensed firearms on campus in the
hands of students.

Republicans
versus the
environment

What happened to the conservative
conservationist?

JUSTIN SUMMERS
OPINION WRITER

You would think, by definition, that conser-
vatives would inherently align themselves with
conservation. While most conservatives will agree
on conserving the right to marriage between a man
and a woman, preserving a small government and
Christian morals, one conservative principle that
seems to have been forgotten over the past 20 years
is the conservation of the environment. Nowadays
it seems that republican pundits and politicians love
nothing more than to take a cheap shot at environ-
mentalists and green policies in order to appease
their base. Whether it is denying the importance of
global warming, the role humans have on our earth
or simple apathy towards environmental issues,
the new wave of republicans are truly setting a
new low standard for the environment. My ques-
tion is, what happened to the Republican Party?

Once upon a time there were republicans in
office who cared about the environment. Teddy
Roosevelt, a leader of the Republican Party and
progressive movements, established the system of
National Parks and wildlife refuges in the United
States. While he did enjoy hunting big game in
Africa and killed his share of white Rhinos, at least
he expressed some concern for the environment.
Another good example is Barry Goldwater, the
ofather of conservatism. ? Quite possibly the most
famous republican conservationist is Richard Nixon.

T Nixon not only signed federal laws such as the
Clean Air Act, the Endangered Species Act and the
National Environmental Policy Act, he also estab-
lished the Environmental Protection Agency (2).
So it is obvious that republicans were once keen
to environmental issues, but now it seems they
are backpedaling. Since Nixon, conservatives in
the Whitehouse and on the Hill rarely make an
effort to be ogreen, ? and are now even chiseling
away at the legislation their republican breth-
ren put into place in the past. For instance, the
Bush: Whitehouse has proposed opening several
thousand acres of national parks for industrial
purposes and even allowing snowmobiles in Yel-
lowstone and Grand Teton National Parks (1).

Also they have succeeded at dismantling the
EPA library (1) and other environmental organi-
zations that provide oversight and regulation on
industry abuses. They have purposefully allowed
the denial of scientific evidence towards global

warming and ignored the scientific bodies most

informed of such topics. The list goes on and on.

Even outside of Washington it seems as though
people from the dark side are scared to talk about
the environment. From high school and college
campuses around the country, I feel like the over-
all sentiment amongst republicans is disinterest
and denial of environmental problems. Whenever
discussion arises, it seems people immediately
start on Al Gore and his movie. Please note, Al
Gore is not the sole face of environmentalism in
America and we could care less about how big
his house is and its affect on the environment.
The fact of the matter is, everyone has to do their
part to clean up, and if we are not willing to do
so in fear of looking like a otree-hugging hippie, ?
then we do not deserve all that the earth provides
for us. We have politicized environmentalism
to a point where it does no one any good, and
in order to make progress we must look beyond
all the trivialities and do something positive.

Luckily one group is dedicated to doing just that
and it may surprise you when you hear the name.
REP, or Republicans for Environmental Protec-
tion, is a national organization dedicated to envi-
ronmentalism in the GOP and supports candidates
who share their beliefs. So there is after all a small
but growing beacon of hope for the environmental-
ist hidden away in the majority of conservatives;
the question is, are you big enough to expose it?

Driving and anger: a deadly mix |

Road rage can lead to
serious Consequences

ERIN EDWARDS
STAFF WRITER

In the fast-paced world we
live in today, many people are in a
hurry to get where they are going,
ignoring the concept of slowing
down and taking a break. For
many, the use of automobiles only
increases this behavior, making
some act out in angry ways when
behind the wheel. However, the
simple misunderstandings that
occur on our nation Ts highways,
including being cut off by another,
followed too closely or any other
traffic violations, can cause road
rage, a term many drivers may
already be familiar with.

Road rage is the violent behav-
ior by a driver in an automobile.
While it is a form of aggressive
driving, the degree of extrem-
ity between the two is widely
disputed.

But road rage is not Just flip-
ping someone the middle finger
or murmuring incoherent insults
under your breath. It entails

serious consequences for anyone
who operates a car. Road rageS

leads to endangerment of others
and, according to the American
Automobile Association (AAA),
results in the death of at least 1500
men, women and children each
year in the United States. This
issue is a serious problem among
Americans, especially in heavily
populated metropolitan areas.

oT think that the typical driver
doesn Tt pay attention, causing me
to get angry. Many drive slow
or can Tt follow simple traffic pat-
terns, ? said ECU Senior Carlye
Guthrie. oTt is frustrating and I
would think most drivers would
know what they are doing. ?

Licensed professional Coun-

Some ECU students admit to having road rage while driving in Greenville, but acting on this anger could have serious, even deadly outcomes.

selor Derrance Hughes, a coun-
selor at the Center for Counseling
and Student Development at ECU
for over eight years, says that
road rage can be thought of as an
extreme case of aggressive driv-
ing with behaviors sparked from
the emotion of anger.

oThere is a difference
between anger and aggression,
which can be seen in road rage, ?
he said. oTypically when we are
driving and a situation occurs,
we have automatic thoughts
which effect our emotions and
behavior, so if a person is driving

and has irrational thoughts, it
could affect their level of anger
and behavior causing possible
aggression. ?

There are numerous triggers
that can set offa driver to experi-
ence illogical hostility, including
encounters with slow drivers,
tailgating between cars, another
driver cutting in, and competi-
tion for parking spaces.

In circumstances where a
driver encounters irritation,
Hughes recommends differ-
ent. types of ways to deal with
the experience.

eFinding alternative routes
to drive, especially if your
normal commute leaves you in
a fit of rage.

eThinking before reacting
and remembering the conse-
quences of your actions.

e Challenging irrational
beliefs and developing rational
self talk.

ePracticing relaxation tech-
niques and deep breathing.

Junior Richard Kristeller
admits to getting irritated with
irresponsible drivers, believing that
their actions can cause accidents.

Students learn ways to deal with stress

Services offered to help
students cope with stress

VIRGINIA SMITH
STAFF WRITER

Between exams,
relationships, classes and being
away from family, students can
get overwhelmed. It Ts easy to
feel as though they are all alone
in an intimidating world, but
there are places on and near
campus where students can go
for help.

Seeking help means that you
recognize the need for a support
system, which can come from
many different sources.

For some people, having
a strong network of friends is
enough to get T them through
the hard times. Joining clubs
and organizations provides an
instant group of support as well.
Being able to spend time with
friends can help one unwind
from the stresses of school.

But what about students who

feel like they
need more?

The Center
for Counseling
and Student
Development at
ECU can help
students who
need help with
coping with the
everyday stress
of attending a
university.

The Counseling Center

is free for students and offers

sessions by appointment and
also walk-in sessions for
students who need immediate
support.

Scheduled appointments last

- an hour and walk-in sessions are

usually about 45 minutes. Most
of the counseling is short-term
(about one semester), but if
problems persist, students can
be referred to a more long-term
establishment, that works in
conjunction with Student Health
Services.

Renita Moore, the outreach
specialist, can set up interactive
programs and workshops by
request for student organizations
that can target a specific
group of students with specific
problems.

Experiencing college for the first time

First generation students are those who are the first in their family to attend a college.

Life for a first
generation student

BY: BEN HARRIS
STAFF WRITER

For the majority of incoming
students, college is a new, vastly
unique, undoubtedly frighten-
ing experience. Many of these

students have been forewarned |

profusely by alumni relatives
about eternal financial aid lines,
bookstores that make money

disappear, and mass-produced
dining hall food. These students
have been guided through nearly
every portion of the application
and settlement phases of the first
year of college and stand a good
chance of acclimating well to
their new environment.

But what about the students
who are the first in their family
to go to college?

After all, college is not only a

brand-new experience for them,

but for their family also. These
students, commonly called

ofirst-genera-
tion students, ?
face several
difficult chal-
lenges that
many students
who come
from a long
line of college
graduates will
not have to
contend with.
Some first-
generation
students, like
ECU sopho-
more and Psy-
chology major
Dorian Luvi-

complete the
entire process
of obtaining
college admission and financial
aid on their own.

oMy family didn Tt agree with
my decision to come to college
because they felt that since they
didn Tt go to college and still led
stable lives I didn Tt need too
either, ? said Luviano. oI had to
explain to them that things are
different today. ?

It is precisely that difference.
that has led many parents to push
their children to become the first
in the family to attend college.
Andy Watkins, senior English

ano, had to.

and Anthropology major, said
that his parents were very happy
that he was attending college
because it gave him the chance
to better himself; a chance they
might not necessarily have had
growing up. As difficult and as
stressful as the process of admis-
sion may be for a first-generation
student, it pales in comparison to
the seemingly gargantuan task
of actually succeeding in college.
The pressure to succeed from
family members is a constant
stressor and can sometimes get
overwhelming.

According to Luviano, family
members have such high expecta-
tions ofa first-generation student
because oit is the first real test to
see if someone in the family can
succeed ? in the new, experienced
based world economy.

The current economy has put
tremendous emphasis on attend-
ing and succeeding at college in
order to get the treasured jobs
that are constantly glorified
in the career handbooks. The
pressure of being a first-genera-
tion student also has an unlikely
benefit that will certainly help
the student in succeeding and
getting those coveted five-day-a-
week jobs. The pressure actually

oI've gotten better at handling
my frustration in those kinds of
situations when I Tm driving. I bite
my tongue now, but I admit that I
used to raise that one finger traf-
fic signal, ? Kristeller said.

While anger may take over
emotions at times, especially
on the road, it is imperative
to remember that driving is a
privilege. Small mishaps and
misunderstandings have the
potential to turn into deadly
problems.

in eight different locations.

Greenville contains the only
one located outside of South
Carolina.

The restaurant Ts menu
mainly consists of low-coun-
try seafood platters, in which
the seafood is served fried, |
steamed and grilled.

oWe try to get the freshest
| seafood around, ? said Toney
| Otero, Gilligan's General
Manager. It just depends on
where we can get it as quick
and fresh as possible ?

In addition to the wide
variety of fresh seafood on
the menu, Gilligan Ts also
serves steak, grilled chicken
and burgers.

_ Dinner entrees range
from $8.95 for an 8-ounce

gives students more incentive to
succeed in order to prevent the
disastrous letdown of hopeful
relatives.

oI have to prove myself [to
my family], ? Luviano said. oI
will not get this chance again
so I have to succeed. ?

Besides the surprising ben-
efit of first-generation pressure,
these students also become
motivated from a variety of other
sources. For some students it is
the realities of the betterment of

both the self and the family that
make being a first-generation
student so special.

oThe biggest benefit is that
you are experiencing much
more of the world than your
relatives and having the ability
to both better yourself and your
family through furthering your
education, ? Watkins said.

The idea of a better future
for their descendants drives
some first-generation students
who, like Luviano and Watkins,

want to become the cornerstone
for their family Ts prospective
education hopes. While begin-
ning college is hard for anyone,
it is especially complicated for
first-generation students. These
students are guided not by the
attempt to fulfill a hollow legacy,
but by the determination of the
betterment of both themselves
and their proud families.

win over North Carolina, ECU
quarterback Patrick Pinkney has
been named C-USA Offensive
Player-of-the-Week, the league
office announced today.

Pinkney threw for career-high
406 yards and a personal best of
three touchdowns to guide ECU
to a 34-31 non-league win over
ACC member North Carolina. He
completed 31-of-41 passes without
an interception in his first collegiate
start (and second overall game,
both against BCS members).

The junior Ts 406 passing yards
ranks second on ECU's all-time
single-game list, only standing
behind David Garrard Ts mark of
AlA4 set against Memphis on Nov.
21, 1998. He tossed TD passes
of 78, 15 and 24 (Johnson) yards
and also directed the Pirates on a
31-yard game-winning march in
just 49 seconds to set up deciding
field goal. Pinkney also led all Pirate
rushers with 22 yards on 10 carries.
He earned national recognition on
Saturday, earning an ESPN Game
Day Final Helmet Sticker.

C-USA defensive honors were.
given to UAB senior S Will Dunbar,
while Special Teams recognition
went to SMU junior P/K Thomas
Morstead.

The Pirates (1-1) will open league
play this Saturday, Sept. 15 when
they play host to Southern Miss (1-
1) inside Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium
with a 6 p.m. kickoff scheduled.

They Said It:

oIt [the win] means a lot to our
players, fans and alumni who
work with graduates of [UNC]...
| tell our players all the time that
we are trying to build a program
that is big-time college football
and it was evidenced by the
events that transpired Saturday
with the television, tailgating and
enthusiasm of the student body.
It was great seeing the student
section filling up two hours before
kickoff because two years ago, they
would all tailgate but never make
it into the stadium. ?- ECU football
Head Coach Skip Holtz

oThey [the players] want to win
and if we miss that kick at the end
of the game, we sit here 0-2 and
feel completely different. Losing
doesn Tt change their commitment
or talent but it does alter our mental
approach. | said before the season
that we have a better football team
this year, but it probably wouldn't
show because of the toughness of
our schedule. There is a reason
Rivals ranked our schedule the
fourth-hardest in the nation. So,
to get a win like we did Saturday
gives us a little more confidence.
This schedule will give us a chance
to see how mentally tough we are
as a football team. ?- ECU football

Pirates finally get redemption
against long-time rival Heels

Crucial field goals
decide the outcome

RONNIE WOODWARD
ASST. SPORTS EDITOR

The third time was the charm
for Ben Hartman and ECU Sat-
urday night.

After missing two fourth
quarter field goals with the
game tied at 31, Hartman
kicked the game-winner as
time expired, giving ECU a
34-31 win over North Carolina,
its first win over the Tar Heels
since 1975.

oYou just have to block out
everything that has gone bad, ?
said the Pirates T kicker. oI knew
it was going to come down to me
and I just said, forget about the
other three and make this one;
this one counts. ?

Hartman Ts first attempt to
break the 31-31 tie sailed wide
right early in the fourth quar-
ter, and his second attempt
hit the left upright. He also
missed another field goal half-
way through the second quarter
and finished the game 2-for-5 on
field goal attempts.

But with 2 seconds on the
game clock and after exchang-
ing jokes with ECU Head
Coach Skip Holtz, Hartman
slipped a 39-yarder just inside

of the left upright, sending the $
ECU sideline and the 43,387 in a
attendance into instant Jubila- |

tion and providing redemption :
for Hartman.

oMy teammates Just told me
to keep my head up and follow
through, ? Hartman said of the
game-winning kick, which was
also a career-long for him.

The Tar Heels missed a
would-be game-winning field
goal of their own, but theirs
never even got in the air.

UNC drove to the ECU
35-yard-line and lined up for
a field goal on fourth-and-
four with 55 seconds left in
the game, but the UNC holder
bobbled the snap and never
allowed kicker Connor Barth,

overtime

STAFF WRITER

The ECU women Ts soccer
team notched its second and
third wins. of the season over
the weekend. The Pirates out-
lasted Old Dominion on Friday
afternoon, stealing a victory in
overtime, 1-0, then finished out
the weekend with a rain-soaked
win over Furman on Sun day
afternoon, 3-0.

In ECU Ts biggest win of the

season so far, the Pirates were
outplayed on offense but were
tough and steadfast on defense.

The Pirates were out shot
by ODU, 13-7, and held to zero
shots on goal in the second half
but were able to withstand the
persistent assault of the Lady
Monarchs.

Junior goalie Amber Camp-
bell was the player of the game,
posting five crucial saves in her
twelfth career shutout.

Regulation ended with both
teams knotted up 0-0 in a defen-
sive struggle.

ECU Head Coach Rob Don-
nenwirth attributed the low-

making his first collegiate start,
made the most of the UNC
miscue as he completed two
clutch passes which put the
Pirates at the UNC 22-yard-line
and set up the game-winning
field goal.

Pinkney finished the game
with the second best passing
performance in ECU history,
as he went 31-of-41 for 406
yards and three touchdowns,

and also led the Pirates in
rushing with 22 yards.

oHe Ts a competitor, ? Holtz
said of Pinkney. oI Tve seen a side
of him I hadn Tt seen [before]...
his poise in the pocket, the way
he keeps his eyes downfield, the
way he sees things, he Just does a
heck ofa job running this offense
and I Tm really proud of him. ?

scoring affair to two squads with
strong defensive units.

oWe had two teams work-
ing extremely hard defensively;
[and] the defensive pressure
[didn Tt allow] a lot of time on the
ball, ? said Donnenwirth.

The Pirates got the only
goal they needed with about
two minutes remaining in the
first overtime period to defeat
the Lady Monarchs 1-0, and
improve their record to 2-1.

The goal was scored by Amy
Szilard off of a Nicole Moore
free kick.

oIt is good to win an over-
time game. It shows them what

they are capable of and gives
them incentive to keep work-
ing hard at fitness. More than
anything it shows if you keep
working hard, even when things
aren't clicking, good things will
come, ? said Donnenwirth.

The Pirates were excited to
get the win against a polished
ODU team, but. Donnenwirth
challenged his team to improve
in all phases of the game.

oWe need to be better with the
ball when under pressure and show
a little more composure with the
ball so we make better decisions, ?
said Donnenwirth in response to
his team Ts weaknesses.

receiver; it was running back
Chris Johnson.

Johnson had 258 all-purpose
yards and three touchdowns
against UNC, with 136 of those
yards and two of the touch-
downs coming on passes from
Pinkney.

Johnson now has six career
touchdown receptions, which
ties an ECU record for run-
ning backs, and his 78-yard
touchdown reception in the first
quarter was the longest ECU
touchdown since he caught an
81-yard pass from James Pinkney
against Rice in 2005.

Holtz is now 3-1 against
ACC opponents as coach of the
Pirates T, something that he said
is a testament to the ECU players
just as much as him.

oWe're growing, we're
moving in the right direction, ?
said Holtz. oWe still have a long
way to go but I couldn Tt be more
pleased with the attitude, the
way these players are working
and the commitment level that
they have.

oWe want to play big-time
football in Greenville and I told
them after the Virginia Tech
game, that was a big time envi-
ronment and they belonged in it,
we want to play big-time football
and we got in that arena and
that environment tonight and
we played it; I couldn Tt be more
proud of these players, I haven't
made a pass or thrown a block or
made a tackle, these guys deserve
the credit for the way that they
go out there and let it all out on
the field. ?

UNC had beat ECU eight
of the last 10 meetings in the
series, and Saturday Ts win for the
Pirates could have signaled a sign
of the future.

oIt feels great, it Ts an in-
state rivalry and they were
talking very downward towards
us, ? said Khalif Mitchell, who
transferred to ECU from UNC
in 2006. oThis is a good win
for this whole area; this whole
Greenville and Eastern North
Carolina area. ?

ECU heard.its head coach Ts
rally cry and responded in a big
way in the second game of the
weekend.

The Pirates started out slug-
gish, partly due to the rough
weather conditions, but eventu-
ally stepped up their game.

The first half of the game was
delayed by rain from Tropical
Storm Gabrielle and an unfor-
tunate injury to midfielder Sarah
Kirkley.

Then with 10:39 left to play
in the first half, Madison Keller
awoke ECU Ts slumbering offense
with the first of her two goals on
a header off 'a corner kick from
Tricia Tufts:

At the half ECU led Furman,
1-0, and had out shot its oppo-
nent, 7-1.

ECU pressured very well
defensively, which opened things
up for the Pirates in the second
half.

Szilard had a great shot at
the start of the second half, just
missing the goal.

With about 27 minutes left to
play, Kat Norris saved the poten-
tial game-tying goal for Furman
and in turn kept the momentum
on the Pirate Ts side.

Keller scored her second goal
of the contest with 16 minutes
remaining off a penalty kick to
give the Pirates a 2-0 lead.

The Pirate Ts third goal of
the afternoon:came from Blair
Hefner on a pass from freshman
Amanda Broz with just under five
minutes left in regulation.

The goal was Hefner Ts third
of the season.

ECU goalkeeper Campbell Ts
strong play on Friday carried
over, as she recorded her second
straight shutout and 13th of her
career.

The Pirates will head to New
York this weekend to face Syra-
cuse Friday at 7 p.m. and Stony
Brook Sunday at 12 p.m.

RONNIE WOODWARD
ASST. SPORTS EDITOR

While many ECU students
were gearing up for the football
team Ts home opener against in-
state rival North Carolina last
week, the ECU baseball players
were gearing for their season
opener, which is only about five
months away.

The Pirates T opened fall
practice last Wednesday, and
coach Godwin said pace is the
key to ECU Ts fall practice.

oIt feels like we just left
yesterday to be honest, it Ts
always exciting to get out here
in the fall, ? said Godwin after
the team Ts first official practice.
oThe most important thing
right now is to control the pace
because we don Tt play until
February, we don Tt have to get
it all in today. ?

ECU has added nine true
freshmen and two transfers to
go along with its 23 returnees
from last season, which has cre-

ated unprecedented depth to the
program.

oWe're going to be very
deep, ? said Godwin. oThe
Pirates are going to have depth
at every position and that Ts
good. ?

Some of the 11 new play-
ers have a chance to make
an impact, and fall practice
is important for them to get
adjusted to ECU baseball.

oT still think they're getting
acclimated to each other, ? said
Godwin. oOnce they kind of
settle in to their own environ-
ment and get more comfortable
things will pick up, but I was
very pleased with the attitude
and I think they were excited
about being out here. ?

. Freshman Trent Whitehead
said that the college game is
much faster, and the upperclass-
men are doing a great job of
helping the newcomers adjust.

oIt was a big difference from
high school, ? said Whitehead,
who graduated from nearby
Washington High School. oIt Ts
so much more intense and much
faster; there is a lot of adjust-
ments and a lot of thing's that

With so many newcomers,
Godwin is hoping some new
leadership will develop during
the fall.

oWith these younger guys
coming in, they Tre looking for
us. to show them the way and
I take that with respect, ? said
ECU senior T.J. Hose, who will
be one of the Pirates T captains
this year.

Senior Corey Kemp and
Junior Drew Schieber will join
Hose as team captains.

Godwin said he feels con-
fident in those three guys, and
the rest of the upperclassmen to
lead this team.

oWe have tri-captains and
I did that earlier this year than
I Tve ever done it, ? said Godwin.
oThey're not our only leaders,
we want all of our guys to be
leaders, but they Tre certainly
three guys that have stepped
up and shown some of the attri-
butes of being a good leader. ?

To go along with the lead-
ership, Godwin said that indi-
vidual player evaluation and

the fall priority list.

After players are individu-
ally evaluated, specific roles
will be defined especially with
a pitching staff that does not
return closer Shane Mathews,
who led C-USA in saves last
season.

oWe'll give everyone an
opportunity and we won't make
those decisions until late in the
fall, ? said Godwin. oTheir are
no starters, middle relievers or
closers right now, they'll just all
go out there and pitch about the
same amount of time and then
depending on what we see we'll
start to set roles for them. ?

ECU finished second in
C-USA last year and was
eliminated from the NCAA
Tournament in the Chapel
Hill Regional, but the ECU
goal is always to make the
College World Series, and
preparation for that is already
beginning.

oI would just like to have
a good season and get us to
Omaha, ? said Hose.
