Sexual Assault Awareness Week alms to teach
Speakers emphasize the
importance of awareness
WHITNEY JENKINS
STAFF WRITER
Two new victim advocacy
events highlighted Sexual
Assault Awareness Week at
ECU: oHow to Help a Sexual
Assault Survivor: What Men Can
Do, ? and oA Girl Interrupted:
The Debbie Smith Story. ?
Hosted by the Office of
Victim Services, the sexual
assault awareness events are
aimed at increasing violence
awareness among men and
women, against women.
Similar programs in the past
have generally been targeted at
educating women on personal
safety tips and what to do if
they become a victim of rape or
domestic violence.
This year, men were given
the unique opportunity to par-
ticipate in the one-hour men Ts
workshop, oHow to Help a
Sexual Assault Survivor: What
Men Can Do. ?
The program was held on
Monday, Sept. 24 at Mendenhall
Student Center in Hendrix The-
' ater at 7 p.m.
The workshop is beneficial
in educating men on how to help
female rape victims recover from
their experiences and in lower-
ing men Ts likelihood of commit-
ting rape, according to Suzanne
Molhan, director of the Office of
Victim Services.
One-in-Four, an all-male
sexual assault peer education
group hosted the workshop.
The group Ts name stems from
the national statistic that one in
four college-age women report
surviving rape or attempted rape .
since their teenage years.
oTo end rape, it Ts extremely
important to reach out to men, T
said Dan Mollison, One-in-Four
group member.
o(To end rape] has to come
from men choosing not to rape, ?
Mollison said.
oThis program is particu-
larly good at awakening men to
this issue. ?
Preceding the men Ts work-
shop, the annual oTake Back the ©
Night ? March was held at 6:30
p.m. at the top of College Hill,
featuring One-in-Four.
oTake Back the Night ? is an
international march organized to
unify men, women and children in
the awareness of violence against
women, children and families.
* An important aspect of the
march is the owalk a mile in her
shoes ? approach, where men literally
walkin women Ts shoes, symbolizing
the rape of female victims.
Some events for Sexual
Assault Awareness Week began
as early as last week.
The Lifetime TV movie, oA
Girl Interrupted: The Debbie
Smith Story, ? was shown on
Friday, which depicts the true
story of a woman who was
repeatedly raped in the woods
behind her house.
Debbie gave her testimony
on the witness stand in court that
during her rape, she began pray-
ing, according to the movie.
oMy faith was greatly tested, T
Debbie said. oHe [God] was preparing
me to do exactly what I'm doing now. ?
Debbie began to boldly speak
out against rape by telling her
story to millions.
oI had to be the voice for
those that were not strong
enough, ? Debbie said.
oThe movie was very power-
ful, ? said James Callaway, fresh-
man recreational therapy major.
oHer struggle, her ability to
testify and bring her life back,
was the most powerful. ?
Despite trying circum-
stances, Debbie has become 4
crusader with intentions to help
rape victims and to prevent
others from becoming victims.
oIf I let him destroy my life,
then he will. I won't let him. ?
Debbie said.
The movie illustrates expe-
riences in which many rape
victims have gone through that
Debbie has had contact with.
oI have every hope in my
heart that they [rape victims]
will find their own strength, ?

First Code of Conduct ©
Awareness Week to be held
Students learn what
rights thy have
KIMBERLY BELLAMY
NEWS EDITOR
The first Code of Conduct
Awareness Week, sponsored by
the judicial board of SGA, is :
being held this week to inform
students about what rights
they have at the university.
The Dean of Students
Office and the Office of Stu-
dent Rights and Responsi-
bilities are also supporting
the event.
The purpose of the
event is to create awareness
among the student body
about the Code of Conduct
and the judicial process.
Members of the judicial
board feel that their orga-
nization would be the best
group to present this infor-
mation to the students.
oWe feel it is somewhat
our responsibility to educate
the students: about it, ? said
Thomas Myers, SGA advo-
cate for accused students.
Creating awareness of the
rules that students must obey
by will prevent students from
violating the Code of Conduct
and facing consequences for
their actions.
' The average student usually
doesn Tt take the time to find out
what the Code of Conduct states
and what it means.
oThe general ctidene body
doesn Tt know about the Code
of Conduct. Most students
that know are the people
that get into trouble, ? said
Abey Dessie, attorney gen-
eral of the judicial board.
Students normally violate
these rules because they are
unaware of what rules they
must adhere to.
The Code of Conduct
applies to students at all
times, whether they are on or
off campus, because students
. are seen as representatives of
ECU, according to Dessie.
Some of the topics stated
in the Code of Conduct are
covered in some classes
such as libel and slander.
Other parts of the Code of
Conduct should be common
sense and addresses issues
such as committing forgery,
using illegal drugs, partici-
pating in hazing or vandal-
izing university property.
Most students are unaware
that the Code of Conduct
states that there certain
procedures you must follow
to sell your book to other
students and that there are
consequences if you fail to
present you OneCard to a
university official when asked.
The Code of Conduct
states that not only are staff
and faculty considered uni-
versity officials, but resi-
dence advisors are also when
acting in an official capacity.
To inform students of these
rules, the judicial branch will
have events throughout the week
to get this information out.
A banner that states that
students will uphold the
responsibilities of becom-
ing educated about the
Code of Conduct and will
follow the rules stated in T
the document will be avail-
able for student signatures.
Students will have the
chance to sign the banner in
Wright Place between 11 a.m.
and 2 p.m. on Tuesday and
Wednesday. é
Zeta Phi Beta sorority
will show their support for
the event by stepping in
Wright Place on Wednes-
day, according to Dessie.
Flyers that give detailed
information about the Code
of Conduct, the Rights of
an Accused Student, and
the duties of the judi-
cial board will be passed
out throughout the week.
ECU Ts judicial board is one
of the only judicial boards in
the nation that is completely
student-run.
The attorney general has
the role of-representing the
university, while the advo-
cate for accused students
represents the student in
judicial hearing. A panel of
five board members decides
on the ruling of the case.
To find out more about
the judicial board, call the
attorney general Ts office at
328-4052 or visit the Web site
at ecu.edu/sga.

SARAH CAMPBELL
EDITOR IN CHIEF
For the first time in nearly
a year, WZMB hit airwaves live
from their Mendenhall locale
beginning 8 a.m. Monday. After
a rocky year filled with abrupt
shifts in leadership and FCC vio-
lations, the station has managed
to persevere.
The station can be heard on
frequency 91.3 FM throughout
Pitt County at all times. New
Mediatouch technology allows
the station to stay on-air 24 hours
by selecting songs at random
from the station Ts database.
The current staff is undergo-
ing a major overhaul in restructur-
ing the station in order to make
sure FCC regulations are upheld.
One new standard includes
screening the lyrics for every
song for obscenities before they
can become eligible to air.
oEvery song in our nearly
12,000 song database has been
listened to by someone here
at the station, ? said Matthew
McKnight, student assistant
coordinator. oIt Ts still a work in
progress, but-everything on the
air should be clean. ?
Besides making sure that all
on-air content is free of obscenities,
the station has added diversity to the
content by increasing the number of
genres available for listening.
Metal, jazz, instrumental,
indie, holiday; folk, country,
techno, retro, reggae, rock, pop
and punk are just a few of the
multiple genres that are offered.
oWe are changing our sound
by adding more variety and
popular music since that is what .

Debbie said.
oHer story makes me proud
to be a girl, ? said Lauren Ray,
freshman international business
major. oI want to help with the
walk in whatever way I can. ?
Debbie has also made efforts
to prevent rape by contributing
to the cause legally.
Debbie's name is attached to
the Justice for All Act of 2004,
which allows thousands of unex-
amined rape kits to be processed.
Resources to process rape
kits were unavailable before this
act. The legislation is signed by
President George W. Bush.
oIt took four years to pass
legislation, ? said Rob Smith,
Debbie Ts husband. oIt was a
timeless effort. ?
Debbie speaks without a
fee at conferences all over the
United States and Canada, and
she is the founder and C.E.O. of
H-E-A-R-T, Inc., a non-profit
foundation established to aid
victims of sexual assault.
oOne thing I want people to
learn is that one person can make
a differencé, ? Debbie said.
There are plenty of ways in
which men can be the first to
take a stand against offensive
behavior towards women.
oWhen men are in a $cenario
with jokes or suggestive talks
about women, not only do they
need to get up and walk out,
they need to say something, ?
Rob said.
. The issue of rape is not only
a woman Ts concern. The issue
begins with men as well. oThis
is aman and woman's issue that _
we need to work on [prevent-
ing] together, ? he said.

said Joe Gill, Cultural
Awareness committee chair.
' oThe Student Union is
looking to increase diversity
in its own: events, so I was
happy to help out.for the
evening. ?
Teachers and professors
have taken a notable interest in
the event and have spread the
word to classes.
oThere is so much more
you can get out of experi-
encing. something, instead of
reading about it in a book, ?
said Derek Maher, profes-
sor of religious studies.
oYou see what is at stake for
those who practice it, simulating
it for yourself. ?
Some professors feel that
this event will make students
aware about the practices of
people with different cultures
and religions.
oThrough participation,
awareness is one of the biggest
things students will gain, ? said
Jami Leibowitz, professor of
anthropology.
oStudents see there are other
people with these traditions. ?
Students learning
about other cultures may
strengthen their view-
points of their own culture.
oOpening up students to
anything, just to have them
question their own beliefs,
helps in the end to strengthen
what they believe in, ? Leibow-
itz said.
The Fast-a-thon program

Successful rush week despite Chi Phi bust
Chi Phi under
indefinite suspension
DAVID WILDER
STAFF WRITER
There are 183 pledges
involved this semester with
the fraternities in Greek Life, a
darge increase from last year.
oWe had about a 25 percent
increase... we had a good rush, ?
said Keith Tingley, assistant
director of greek life.
ECU's Interfraternity Coun-
cil (IFC) is using new Interac-
_ tive Collegiate Solutions (ICS)
technology to register members
this year.
oWe encouraged them
to register on our ICS data-
base, ? said Logan Johnson,
treasurer of IFC. The data-
base helps track members
and allows them to post pic-
tures and contact information.
During summer freshmen
orientation, fraternities reg-
istered with Greek Life gave.
orientation sessions in the
Mendenhall Great Rooms.
Steps. like these helped
produce five pledge classes
with over 20 members this
semester.
The fraternities also threw a
band party at the bottom of Col-
lege Hill with 5" Generation, a
local band.
Many smaller Hareenities
received large pledge classes
this semester. Regarding mem-
bership size, owe'd like everyone
to be on a level playing field, ?
Tingley said.
ECU Ts Epsilon Theta chap-
ter of Chi Phi was involved in an
incident that occurred on Aug.
20 that yielded 77 underage
drinking tickets.
Michael Azarian, national
executive director of Chi
Phi, placed the chapter under
indefinite suspension. Azari-
an Ts decision was released on
Sept. 17.
Azarian Ts letter states, © hie
Chapter shall be indefinitely
suspended of all activities and
operations for a period of no
more than four years. ?
Chi Phi Ts active charter will
be taken over by the Epsilon
Theta Alumni Association.
They may request to be taken
off suspension as soon as July
2008.
Former members are now
recognized as alumni members
and are prohibited from using
the Chi Phi letters and symbols.
oI feel very good about
the resolution, because the
national organization came
down and did a thorough
investigation. Iam confident
that IFC will see the rec-
ommendations by nationals
as an appropriate response
to the incident. ? said Corey
King, assistant vice chancel-
lor for student experiences.
Chi Phi was one of.seven
fraternities registered with
Greek Life that did. not
own a house. The incident
occurred at a house owned
by one member of Chi Phi,
rather than at a chapter house.
During rush week, frater-
nities that do not own a house
were allowed to use sorority
houses to perform their rush
activities. This semester Ts rush
week lasted Aug. 27 to 30.

RANT OF THE DAY
It still pisses me off that the one time
my Pirate Rant was used for Rant of
the Day, the paper wasn Tt published.
{ Take it from us... }
Sister Souljah
is a leader?
Hip-hop star a poor choice for ECU
J.D. LEWIS
OPINION WRITER
If you've seen the fliers plastered all over campus,
or the ads in this newspaper, you're aware that Sister
Souljah, a recording artist, author, producer, and
racist whose real name is Lisa Williams, will be
the keynote speaker at this weekend Ts Multicultural
Student Leadership Conference in the Mendenhall
Student Center. Was David Duke not available?
What's next? Mahmoud Ahmadinejad address-
ing the next meeting of Hillel? How about Jesse
Helms headlining the next B-GLAD event?
Neither one makes a whole lot of sense. Equally
unfathomable is Sister Souljah keynoting a multi-
cultural leadership conference.
Multiculturalism is defined as the idea that a
society, notably one with a high rate of immigration,
is enriched by celebrating the separate contributions
of its component cultures. To me that means all
cultures, and, for better or for worse, that includes
we white folk. Yes, we have our bad apples, but for
every David Duke, there Ts an Abraham Lincoln.
Sister Souljah came to national attention when
then presidential candidate Bill Clinton criticized
her remarks on race in a May 1992, Washington
Post interview. Souljah was. quoted as saying, oIf
black people kill black people every day, why not
have a week and kill white people? ?
Souljah has also been quoted as saying, oIm not saying
there aren't any decent white people; I've just never met one ?
Are these the comments of the leader?
To her credit, Sister Souljah has done a lot of good
work for homeless and other disadvantaged youth
in the black community through camps and other
educational programs. She has rallied against racially-
motivated crimes "ironic given her remarks against
the white race "and police brutality. Such activities
are admirable, but is it admirable to sow the seeds of
hate as well?
I don Tt know whose idea it was to invite Sister Soul-
Jah to ECU, but surely someone who truly embraces
multiculturalism could have been found. We have
many fine professors from all over the world, who
_are excellent role models, right here on our campus.
Probably at least one of them would have been glad to
speak if asked.
On her website, Souljah claims that omany people
attempt to silence ? her opowerful voice ? because oa
young influential woman who has achieved so much, yet
remains down to earth, can be quite intimidating. ?
No, but when someone calls for a week-long killing
spree of members of your race and is embraced as a leader,
it can be a little unsettling.
Remember, Hitler was a leader too.

YAZID FINN
STAFF WRITER
The idea is taken straight from a futuristic
war movie: the premise is mercenaries, who work
for the highest bidder. These gun-for-hires travel
under the guise of security detail and work without
rules, protected by those who employ them.
While the notion is unsettling, such people do
exist and they are currently operating overseas.
Some place the number of mercenaries working in
Iraq well into the tens of thousands, while some
reports list figures of at least one hundred thousand
contract workers.
Do not think that Blackwater, a private security
firm, is a recent coming to the war in Iraq, as they
have been in action for years. Reports from the
beginning of the Iraq war place the North Caro-
lina based private security firm in the country. It
is only of late that its name has made headlines
again, with two notable inquiries (and counting)
as you read this article.
The first to arise was a shooting that took place
Sept. 16, in which numerous civilians including
women and children were shot and killed. Wit-
nesses to the shoot-out relayed that Blackwater
acted unprovoked and out of cold blood, whereas
Blackwater Ts spokesperson described the contract
workers as having oheroically defended American
lives in a war zone. ?
The incident caused a visible stir as evidenced
when Iraq Ts Prime Minister Maliki called for a
halt in Blackwater Ts presence in the country. Of
course, this did not last long, for less than four
days later, Blackwater was back on the street. It
would seem the security force is more of a crutch
than originally thought.
With its position in Iraq secured, all seemed
well for the security firm until auditors for Black-
water Ts weapons caches found enough sound evi-
dence to file smuggling charges. As if their $600-
a-day pay (tax free up to their first $75,000) was
not enough, some have taken it upon themselves
to make a little more on the side through illegal
arms deals. While I am not that up-to-date on the
_ going rate of an M-16, I do not think the average
American would like to know rifles are being sold -
into the hands of the enemy.
But before anyone gets the bright idea of pressing
charges or suing Blackwater, let me warn you that
it is not that simple. Iraq cannot prosecute them as
the US flies these oprofessionals ? out of the country
after any questionable incident arises. Then, once
back in the States, the US government turns down
any charges against them, because the cases might
reveal classified information relating to the war.
As always, while some might not support the idea
of the war in Iraq, Americans are always asked to at
least support those who are overseas. That is fine by
me, but I will take my troops the old-fashioned way;
fighting for the country and not for the pocket.

Professors, please stop making
guest lectures mandatory: | was
appalled at how many students left
in the middle of the Cristina Garcia
lecture on Thursday. The fact that she
even commented about the people
scurrying out T was embarassing. |
would rather those people not show
up then be disrespectful.
| like my out-of date iPod Shuffle. It
has a sense of humor. | was walking
back home in. the rain today and just
as it started pouring, oWho'll Stop The
* Rain? ? came on. Fancy that.
| was standing at the corner of 10th
and Elmin the pouring rain today, and
this guy stopped his car and let me
cross, even though he had a green
light and made like 15 cars behind
him wait just so | could get home
and out of the rain a little sooner.
Something so simple and still so nice.
Thank you so much!
| will wear my Duke shirt whenever
and wherever | want. If you don Tt like
that, I Tm not sorry. You can transfer.
Why is MLK always the first and only
influential black person mentioned
or honored when someone tries to
prove they're not racist?
Like it or not, a ndose in a tree is an
offensive form of free speech; while
the beating of a student by othersis a
crime. We need to move on...
To the girl who feels guys just want
you for your body. Yeah, I Tm the guy
who wants more than just a nice
body.
oStop brown-nosing the teacher,
it Ts not getting you any extra credit
points, and it Ts really sickening to
listen to. :
You know you are a fresliman if you
walk in the chimes by Joyner Library
trying to get a good beat going.
Really, who cares what team
someone is. supporting here!? Yes,
they may go here, but that doesn Tt
mean that their favorite team has to
be ECU! if you had to attend your
favorite school just to be accepted
by your peers, well then, not a lot of
people would be in school! :
If six white students beat up one
black student, do you think it would
be considered racist?
I Tm what you call oMan-Pretty. ?
It still pisses me off that the one
time my Pirate Rant was used for
Rant of the Day, the, paper. wasn't
published.
Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are
suppressing black people and they
don't even know it.
You keep trusting the American
government, and you are going to
be living in a cardboard box with a
barcode slapped across the back of
your neck.
Please do not smoke where | breathe.
| choose to not die of cancer.
To the guy who gave his seat up on
the Exchange Bus...THANK YOU, »
you made my day! There should
be more gentlemen like you in the
world! ;
To the person bashing the Humane
Society: Everyone should get their ©
pets from a shelter of some sort, that
really goes without saying. But it Ts
important to support no-kill shelters;
they often take the dogs that other
animal shelters would put down
without hesitation. Plus, | know that .
the Humane Society of Eastern NC
often fills their cages with animals
from Pitt County Animal Shelter,
so when you adopt from HSEC,
you save two animals for the price

You miss class because you walk
past a Domino's booth that is giving

You know when ECU gets more
money when they redo the sidewalks
with bricks.

take it out on. my turkey, tomato and
mustard wrap. Your bad attitude ruins
my sandwiches.
You know you're in college when you
get your first test grade back and it Ts
lower than the class average.
Even if you go to the hospital
[because you're] dying, Student
Health Services still won't give you
a note excusing you from missing
class.
| am sick and tired of people of
oother religions ? being passive
and saying, oWell, we all believe ~
in the same God. ? No, we don't.
Furthermore, Jesus was not just a
good man, He was the Son of God.
He Ts the only way to heaven, and
good works do not take. you there.
Believing that Jesus died on the

your life to God is the only way to get
to heaven. And no, I Tm not religious.
I'm faithful.
To my ex-boyfriend: | know you

You should just break up with your
girlfriend and date my roommate.
Y'all are perfect together anyway,

Last time | checked, the library isn'ta

If only you would give me a chance,

Dots!! Who needs Cold Stone when

It Ts not because of the weather
down here that your nose is always

The beef jerky at Destination 360
gave me food poisoning.
Thanks for the eggs on my car, it
really added a little something.
Calling it clubbing T doesn Tt make it
cool. It is still JUST Greenville, JUST
trashy people, and JUST cheap
liquor. Grow up and get a life.
Looks like we're back in the 90s
again. The cowboys are good in
football and OJ is back in court.
I Tm convinced ECU is just a very
expensive daycare center.
DON TT throw your pennies away.
Give them to the art students, we'll
make cool stuff out of them!!
o Tothe people who like to stand on the

Yes, I Tm Canadian. No, | don Tt say
oEh? ? or oAboot. ? Yes, | play hockey.
Yes, | believe in free health care. No,
| don Tt eat cold pizza and beer for

A teacher should realize that when
the whole class fails the test that you ©
are not presenting the material clearly
and should change your methods.

the edge.
As long as the library guard continues
sitting there looking hot and smiling
whenever | come in, he can do
whatever he wants.
| love you more than | know how

My puppy is getting ofixed ? next week,
and I Tm kind of sad because she
would have the cutest durn puppies
EVER.
To all the rude people who use my
yard as a shortcut to and from class:
First of all, why do you think it Ts OK for
you to wander all over my property?

Greenville in
transition
Attractions for those looking for
something a little different
OPINION WRITER
JUSTIN SUMMERS
Follow the road less traveled. Many of you have
heard this quote. Some of you may have even read
the poem. In this article I am trying to convince
you to do just that. Not in some preachy meta-
phorical way, I actually want to go to a road and
perhaps enjoy some things you won't find elsewhere
in Greenville. Evans Street is the road; Uptown
Greenville is the place.
I have lived on this road in Uptown Greenville
for the past year, and in that short period of time,
I have seen a transition. Once the focal point of
business and social activity in Greenville (in the
1950's), the area was more or less left to rot until
recently.
I can remember freshman year, when the only
signs of life Uptown were a few shops and a couple
of bums. Funding for.the area ran out and the tran-
sition began to move to Greenville Boulevard and
Red Banks Road. As most of you know, Greenville
Boulevard and areas west of it are now a traffic
nightmare, and because of that, I think many busi-
ness owners are seeing an opportunity for growth
in the historic part of town. There are a wide array
of businesses new and old that are worth visiting
in Uptown Greenville and in this article I will tell
you about a few of my favorites.
The newest establishment to pop up on Evans
Street is called oHookah Haze ? and it is as far as
I know the only hookah bar in town. For those of
you who don Tt go out and drink but still want to
do something fun, this is a great alternative. Far
different from any other hookah bar I have seen,
Haze is not as relaxed and chill as one may think.
Sure the majority of the time it is laid back and
mellow, but many times the atmosphere is high
energy music, dancing and all around enjoyment.
The inside is very clean and comfortable with a
good sound system and plenty of couches to sit
on while you puff on any of their choice tobaccos..
Hookah Haze is already gaining in popularity on
campus and if you Tre smart you'll give it a try.
Another great spot Uptown is called Acacias
Tipsy Teapot. The Tipsy Teapot is a used bookstore
that offers great deals on books and food as well
as a quiet friendly atmosphere in which to study
or read a book. The cuisine offered at the Teapot
ranges from great salads and vegetarian items
- to lasagna and philly cheese steaks. My personal
favorite is the vegetarian nachos, with a glass of
black currant iced tea. The Tipsy Teapot like the
rest of Uptown has wireless Internet connection
outlets to plug in your laptop.
Not to forget my favorite neighbors, another
next recommendation for lunch or dinner has to
be Jahnaz Caribbean Restaurant. Jahnaz serves up
traditional Jamaican and Caribbean cuisine such as
curry and jerked chicken, oxtails, plantains, rice
and beans and even goat, for the daring. Jahnaz
also has great tropical drinks and merchandise
for sale. If you want a great meal at a reasonable
price but are sick of burgers and pizza, I definitely
recommend giving Jahnaz a try.
There are at least a dozen places worth visit-
ing Uptown that I did not mention, all of which
provide a product or service different from any-
where else around town. From great bars like
The Green Lantern, 4° Street Wine Bar and
soon-to-open 5 Points Tavern; to art studios and
shops like Emerge and Ripple City. The quiet and T
friendly atmosphere Uptown is something unique
to Greenville, and I hope each of you take my word
and give us a visit.

students will be guided through
workshops and sessions that
focus on building upon founda-
tions that were set from last

Matt Dodge
The job that Dodge did punting
the ball is one of the positives
that the Pirates took away from
Saturday Ts loss at West Virgin-
ia. Dodge punted the ball seven
times for a total of 327 yards.
His 6l-yarder in the second
quarter tied a career-long, and
the Appalachian State transfer
recorded four punts of 50 yards
or longer. His 327 punting yards
in the game was also a career
high; his previous high was 293
in 2005, when he played for Ap-
palachian State.
o| thought Matt Dodge did an
excellent job of punting the
football, he averaged about 55
yards in the first half. He did
a great job of punting the ball
consistently. "
- ECU coach Skip Holtz
THE TURNING
POINT ||
Down 3-0 halfway through the
first quarter, the Pirates were
gaining momentum as they were
driving down the field. On first-
and-10 from the Mountaineers T
36-yard-line, WVU linebacker
Mortty Ivy stepped in front of
a pass intended for ECU true
freshman Jonathan Williams
and completely reversed the
momentum. Ivy Ts interception
was only ECU quarterback Pat-
rick Pinkney Ts second turnover
of the season. After the turn-
over, the Mountaineers ran a
reverse play, which explosive
receiver Darius Reynaud ran 64
yards all way to the ECU 2-yard-
line. Steve Slaton plunged in for
a l-yard score two plays later,
_and the rout was on.
THEY SAID IT:
o! thought we played hard but
also at the same time we were
tentative. | think West Virginia
had something to do with that
because of their offense and the
schemes that they use. They put
us on our heels. ? i.

ECU suffers blowout loss
RONNIE WOODWARD
ASST. SPORTS EDITOR
West Virginia simply ran
faster than ECU Saturday after-
noon.
The fifth-ranked Mountain-
eers, led by the explosive duo of
quarterback Pat White and run-
ning back Steve Slaton, amassed
599 total yards in a 48-7 blowout
win over the Pirates, the most
lopsided loss since Skip Holtz
was named the Pirates T head
coach in 2005.
oI don Tt think there are five
teams in the country that are -
going to line up and tackle
those. guys in space on a con-
- sistent basis, T Holtz said of the
Mountaineers T offense. oI think
they deserve to be where they
are as a top-five team, that Ts the
best West Virginia team we've
played. We played Slaton and
White as freshmen and sopho-
mores...I think they Tve gone
through that maturing process
and they are explosive, there Ts
a reason why they're averaging
over 500 yards a game. »
oTm certainly not trying
to make excuses, but they are
pretty impressive, we haven't
played a team with that kind of
speed since I Tve been here. ?
ECU Ts defense seemed over-
matched and had trouble tack-
ling the Mountaineers T explosive
runners; WVU scored on eight
of its. 11 possessions in the
game.
oI don Tt think we tackled
well and I think that had a lot
to do with them and the athletes
they had running around, ? said
Holtz.
The Mountaineers got the
ball rolling early when wide
receiver Darius Reynaud blew
by numerous Pirate defenders
on a 64-yard reverse play with
WVU already up 3-0 early in the
first quarter. Slaton scored on a
1-yard touchdown run two plays
later, making the score 10-0.
Reynaud Ts dazzling run was
set up by a costly turnover by-
the Pirates. ECU had the ball
in Mountaineer territory down
only three points, but on first-
and-10 from the WVU 36-yard-
line, Patrick Pinkney Ts pass was
intercepted by WVU linebacker
Mortty Ivy. Ivy Ts interception
stopped the Pirates T momentum
T and began the WVU offensive
surge.
Pinkney only passed for
43 yards and completed seven
passes in his first career road
start. The athletic quarterback,
who was leading ECU in rushing
prior to the WVU game, also
had negative 25 yards rushing
and was sacked four times.
oPatrick has had success get-
ting on the perimeter and run-
ning around, ? said Holtz. oWhat
they did a great job of, with their
three-down lineman, was bring-
ing edge pressure, getting up the
field and making Patrick step up
and throw out of a well, and that
isn Tt exactly his strength. ?
Holtz tried to get the offense
started early by electing to
receive the ball after winning
the coin toss, hoping that the
Pirates could establish field posi-
tion early in the game. But ECU
was penalized:on the kickoff
and on its second offensive play
from scrimmage, so WVU's first
offensive series started from the

The ECU women Ts volley-
ball team just finished a long
run of away games, including
the Tribe Classic in Williams-
burg, Virginia, and the George
Washington Invitational that
ECU dominated in beating both
Howard and Hartford with two
3-0 wins. The Pirates returned
home this past Sunday to face
a formidable opponent, SMU,
in Minges Coliseum for the
second conference game of their
season.
Both teams started strong,
scoring one after the other, but
eventually SMU broke out into
the lead.
ECU was forced to play
catch-up and almost did during
the course of the game. The 3
Pirates pulled within one point 2
of SMU at 17-18, but this is as &
close as ECU would get. SMU
won the first game of the match,
30-27.
During the second game,
ECU wasted no time in taking
the lead. They had a strong
several corner kicks.
oWhat we need to get better
at Is our decisions and runs
around the box, ? said Don-
nenwirth. oWe have some very
young players out there and that
will come once they get a little
more experience. ?
Amy Szilard nearly scored
with 20 minutes remaining in
the first. Her efforts paid off
when she tallied the only*score
of the contest with 35 minutes
remaining on a header from
Madison Keller.
ECU had several close shots
in the second half.
oMaybe we're thinking too
much right now around the
goal instead of just going for it
and ripping a shot, ? said Don-
nenwirth.
Jazmin Turcotte just missed
the goal shooting over the net in
the 30" minute.
Madison Keller also nearly
scored off a corner kick with
18:25 remaining in the game.
Nicole Moore was also cred:
ited with an assist on the Szilard
goal.

lead of 11-4 over the Mustangs.
Although SMU kept persisting
and trying to regain the lead, the
Pirates kept them on their toes
and held onto the lead. Sopho-
more Stephanie Turner, and
senior Kelley Wernert strength-
ened the offense with numerous
kills, giving ECU the second
game with a 30-26 win.
ECU started the third game
with a thirst to win. Wernert
scored the first two points of
the game and continued to add
points for the Pirates, giving
them the lead. However, SMU did
not back down and came:back to
tie the game at 7-7. SMU gained
the lead, 10-7, when ECU took
their first timeout and at their
second for the game, SMU was
still in the lead, 15-8. After an
impressive series of kills from
Turner, Wernert and senior
Mignon Dubenion, the Pirates
gained some momentum, but not
enough, as SMU won the third
game 30-22. :
The pressure was at a high as
ECU entered their final chance
to get the match in its favor.:
Dubenion scored the first point
of the game, but SMU responded
- immediately. The two teams were
tied at 4-4, but with kills from
Turner and an ace from freshman
Katie Koop the Pirates gained
the lead, 8-4, causing a nervous
SMU team to take their first time
out of the game. Once again, the.
Pirate Ts strong offense gave them
a quick win over SMU in the
third game, 30-18, causing the
crowd of fans to go wild knowing
that a fifth tie-breaker game was
to follow.

RECA Pecniinued from A8
ECU 41-yard-line.
oI figured with our kickoff
return if we could start on about
the 30-yard-line, and even if we
didn Tt make a first down and
punted from the 40 we could
flip the field to start the game, ?
said Holtz. oWe get a penalty on
the opening kickoff so instead
- of starting on the 30, we're on
the 15. On the second play from
scrimmage, we jump offside so
now it Ts third-and-15. It just
really made it difficult because
when we punted they started
with great field position. ?
ECU barely avoided snap-
ping a 116-game streak of not
being shutout late in the fourth
quarter. Down 48-0, Chris
Johnson, who had 191 total
yards in the game, scored on
a 3-yard touchdown run with
59 seconds left in the game.
The last time the Pirates were
shutout was Oct. 4, 1997 at
Syracuse.
Another positive from the
lopsided loss came from ECU
punter Matt Dodge. Dodge,
who was forced to compete for
his starting position during
' practice last week because of
inconsistent play, punted the
ball seven times for 327 yards,
including a career-high 61-
yarder in the second quarter.
oI thought Matt Dodge did
an excellent job of punting the
football, ? said Holtz. oHe did a
great job of punting it consis-
tently. ?
ECU also got the oppor-
tunity to play a lot of players
in the second half, including
quarterback Rob Kass.
Kass, who was the Pirates
starting quarterback prior to
being arrested for driving while
impaired the week of season
opener, quarterbacked ECU Ts
only scoring drive, completing
two of his three pass attempts
in his first appearance of the
season.
o] said that if the situation
arises when we have to turn
and play a backup quarterback,
we'll put Rob in, ? said Holtz.
oI felt like where we were in
the game, we needed to try
something else...so that Ts what
made us say let Ts go ahead
and make the change, let Ts put
in Rob and see if he can add
a spark and get something
moving. ?
Holtz was very complimen-
tary of the Mountaineers and
their high-powered offense, but
believes the 48-7 final score
did not indicate the Pirates T
best effort.
oT think we are a better foot-
ball team than what we played,
or what the score indicated, but
I was extremely impressed with
West Virginia, ? he said.

As many ECU games thus
