Apartment bus routes and Safe Ride
work to decrease overcrowding |

Changes made within
ECU Student Transit

ADELINE TRENTO
STAFF WRITER

In response to complaints
from students about overcrowd-
ing on the ECU buses, many
apartment complexes have teamed
up with the ECU Student Transit
Authority (ECUSTA) to make
travel more efficient for students.

According to Wood David-
son, interim director of ECUSTA,
overcrowding is common during
the fall semester because more
people are coming to campus.

oRidership data shows that
more people tend to ride the
buses to campus during the first
semester, especially right at the
beginning, � said Davidson.

oT think it has a lot to do with
everybody coming to class and
not knowing exactly what their
transportation options are. �

To help make room for
the growing number of stu-
dents going to class, North
Campus. Crossing (NCC) and
The Exchange have both added
more buses to their routes.

After opening Phase II of the
apartment complex, NCC added
two more buses to their route
making it possible for students
to catch a bus to campus every
10 minutes.

On Sept. 17, The Exchange

also added another bus after
more than 20 students were left
behind due to overcrowding.
oWe contract with the large
apartment Tcomplexes to provide
transportation, � Davidson said.
oWe send them a recommen-
dation based on their size and the
data that we have. The apartment
complex then decides what size

_ bus they want to have and how

many busses they want depend-
ing on their budget and their
expectations for transportation. �

Each apartment complex
that uses the ECU bus system
pays 65 percent of the operat-
ing costs, which works out to
be about $28,000 a semester,
depending on the cost of fuel and
how many hours of bus service
the complex has.

Since the complexes have
added more buses to their routes,
many students have seen an
improvement in the bus service
and a decline in overcrowding.

oIt has gotten a lot better
recently but sometimes the bus
is still pretty full in the morn-
ing, � said Kerry Smyth, resident
at NCC.

oT Tve had to stand a few times
on my way to class but it has defi-
nitely improved now that a bus
comes every 10 minutes. �

_ The park and ride shuttles
to Minges Coliseum and Curry
Court have both extended their
hours to serve students better
as well.

These shuttles now run a half
hour longer, with the last bus
leaving the JY. Joyner Library at
7 p.m. Monday through Friday.

oThis was done to marry the
Safe Ride service with the bus
service, � Davidson said.

oSafe Ride wasn Tt starting
until 7 p.m. and the bus service
was ending at 6:30 p.m. We had
a lot of people calling during
that half hour time frame and
asking how to get back to their

car at Minges. We received a lot
of complaints so we decided to

extend the hours to fill that gap. � °

Within the next two
weeks, students will also
experience several changes
to the Safe Ride service.

Safe Ride will no longer be
operated by the ECU Police
under their Campus Safety Divi-
sion, but will now be moved back
into the control of ECU Transit.

The ECUSTA will add more

vehicles to the service during

. peak times, but they plan to keep

the hours of operation the same.

Once ECU Transit begins
operating Safe Ride, several
changes will be made to the
rules and policies of the service.

Under the new policies, stu-
dents will no longer be able to
use Safe Ride to travel from off
campus to off-campus destinations.

The inconvenience of overcrowding on buses has been brought to the attention of ECU Transit for soulutions.

Voyages of the Discovery lecture

and sciences

JENNIFER SOARES
STAFF WRITER

Voyages of the Discovery
lecture series, sponsored by the
Thomas Harriot College of Arts
and Sciences, will begin today
at 7 p.m.

The purpose of these lec-
tures is to deliver more informa-
tion on the history of Eastern
North Carolina and touch on the
origination of modern science for
the faculty and students of the
Thomas Harriot College.

John Tucker, director of the
Voyages of Discoveries lecture
series, stated that the series is
about the differences between
arts and sciences of the college.

The speakers were asked to
the campus of ECU to deliver lec-
tures about Harriot Ts life, work
and the impact he made.

The first lecture will fea-
ture Peter White, professor
of botany at UNC-Chapel
Hill and director of the North
Carolina Botanical Gardens.

White Ts lecture is called,
oFrom the Appalachians to the
Coastal Plain: North Carolina Ts
Wildflowers and Ecology. �

oThis lecture is about natural
history of North Carolina and
all of the exciting discoveries of
plants and animals of the state, �
White said.

He will be featuring the
Venus Fly Trap, which can only
found in 11 counties in North and
South Carolina. ©

Book useful for

NIA RICHARDSON
STAFF WRITER

A book has been created by
Leanne Smith, an English lec-
turer, called oEast Carolina Uni-
versity: Off the Record, � which
gives a detailed perspective of the
university and life in Greenville.

The book is published by

College Prowler, a company _

that recruits students to write

unbiased guidebooks about

their university as a source for ©
high school students seeking an _
appealing college.

Smith was recruited by Col
lege Prowler while completing
her graduate studies. _

Smith Ts involvement on
campus as an orientation assis-
tant, membership in several
student organizations and her
background in English qualified
her as the best candidate to write

the guide.

Smith began the book in

August 2005. The writing pro-

=

cess consisted of gathering

information about the university
and the regional area, collecting

_ anonymous quotes from students

and writing editorials for each

informative section of the book.

oBecause the company has
grown a lot in the last two years,
there were some delays and I had
to submit updates several times.
The most recent updates were in
spring 2007, � said Smith.

oEvery time I heard about

a restaurant closing or moving

in the past two years, the first
thing | thought about was the

Prowler book. �

Once Smith had the lee
copy of the book, College Prowler
put it into an easy-to-read layout
that cues students in on a range
of topics, from academics to the
local atmosphere. oThe book
may also be interesting for new
faculty because they could learn

about the area and especially

about the students who will bein

Students will also have

Davidson said that this
will narrow down the ser-

times as low as possible for
students that need to use
Safe Ride.

Beginning within the
next week or two, Safe Ride:
will not go to any apartment
complexes that are larger
than 500 beds and that do not

oThose complexes have
made the choice to not have

have pinpointed them as

Student Legal Services
offers free advice to students

What students
should know

DAVID WILDER
STAFF WRITER

The staff at ECU Ts Student
Legal Services (SLS) offers a
pre-paid service plan and advice
to students.

The most common question
asked by students would be oIs
this free?. � according to Peter
Romary, director of Student
Legal Services.

Each semester, ECU stu-
dents pay fees that ensure
they will have a pre-paid
legal service available.

Student Legal Services is
helpful for a number of common
legal troubles students find
themselves in.

ECU students are primarily
involved with traffic tickets,
landlord/tenant disagreements,
and criminal offenses.

SLSis strictly an advisory ser-
vice that services both the main
and health sciences campuses.

When a student requires
representation, othere is
no hard-and-fast referral, �
Romary said. If a lawyer mis-
treats a student, SLS would not
recommend them to students,
but otherwise students can
come to SLS for recommenda-

tions.

There is a overy effective bar
in Pitt County to take student
cases, � Romary said.

A recommendation will
be offered owhen we feel that
the time has come for them to
have full-scale representation, �
Romary said.

Students who visit
SLS often hire representa-
tion rather than attempting
to take on the case them-
selves, according to Romary.

Students can also receive
education on how to use their
lawyer more effectively.

Ninety percent of crime
at ECU is related to alcohol,
according to Romary.

If students receive an
alcohol citation and it is their
first offense, they can per-
form 24 hours of community
service and attend an alco-
hol class provided by ECU.

According to Romary, the
two most important things
to watch for in college are
to be proactive when it
comes to legal cases and to
watch out for your friends.

However, one should not
interfere if a police officer is
giving a ticket to a friend,
because that could result in an
additional citation.

The staffat SLS attempts to
be available for students as con-

culture here. �

A tool that prospective
students can use is the grading
scale that College Prowler uses
to rate ECU in comparison with
other schools. ©

oSomething like this could
help them prepare for what
really goes on, � said Amber
Aloia, junior accounting
major.

oUnless you Tve been in
college, you really don Tt have
a clue as to what it Ts really
like. �

Prospects may also find the

of what life is really like at ECU.

Dear football

fans...

A state of mind or a state of being?

JESSICA DUNLOW
OPINION WRITER

Football season has always been a favorite of
mine. Granted, I was never too excited about col-
lege football until I finally arrived tat ECU, which
has been referred to as a football-driven school.
Apparently I have been missing out.

NFL fans are fair-weather sometimes (minus
those Steelers and Eagles fans, who are extremely
die-hard), meaning, people sort of jump on the
bandwagon for whichever teams make it far into
the playoffs.

This is extremely irritating, because there is
nothing better than seeing the crazed and some-
what obnoxious fans sitting at Boli Ts and Dr.Unks
on Sunday afternoons, with their jerseys and
drunken screams at the television.

I am one of these people. We revel in the losses
of other teams and boo the referees T bad calls, and
yes, this is not the ideal way to treat opposing
teams. Regardless of whether or not I like or hate
them (Cowboys, cough).

Considering this, I remember what Skip Holtz
said to the Virginia Tech coach after the game at
the beginning of the season. He told the coach that
they were a role model for what they were trying to
do for our football program here. This was when
they were describing how congenial the VT fans
are to visiting teams. For example, they always clap
for the visiting team regardless of the outcome.

This then reminded me of that letter we all
received about our poor sportsmanship at the home
games last year, and I agree. We get very out of
hand sometimes.

I am all for school pride and wanting our team
to win, but sometimes yelling oBull S*** � and
oF*** Carolina T (and I hate Carolina) is extremely
inappropriate. I suppose all Skip wants is for us to
be respectful to the teams our program welcomes
to Greenville.

I will say that I love our student section,
although we are known for our outrageously strong
school spirit and our undying love for our Pirates
with or without the wins. Controlling ourselves
will be difficult, and it is probably just a pipe dream,
but I think that it is imperative to try.

For the moral of our football games, the bet-
terment of our Pirate spirit and to support the
respectful direction that Coach Holtz is taking,
we should.comply. We live and breathe purple and
gold, so let Ts politely clap for those unfortunate
enough to bleed other colors.

To the Editor:

I agree with JD that the mainstream media
should be giving more coverage and attention to
Gov. Bill Richardson Ts run as a democrat for presi-
dent. With all the coverage of Hillary Clinton Ts
health care plan, for example, very few media out-
lets are pointing out that it is virtually identical
to the health care proposal Richardson rolled out
six months ago. Richardson Ts environmental and
energy policy has been called the omost aggressive �
at taking on global warming and achieving energy
independence by the Sierra Club. This is not sur-
prising, given his expertise after being Secretary.of
Energy under Clinton (the only candidate to have
held a cabinet post). His ability to represent us on
the world stage and revitalize our standing in the
world is assured because of his previous achieve-
ments in that arena.

Besides being proud to elect the first Latino
for president, voters can also be proud to elect the
first president who has already been nominated for
the Nobel Peace Prize four times!

To the Editor:

I couldn't agree with you more. Richardson has
a great deal of diploniatic experience, as well as
having been in the Energy department. He has been
a congressman and has executive experience as a
very successful governor. He has more experience
then the oTop 3 � Democrats in the race combined.
He pretty much makes the top-tier candidates on
béth sides appear amateurish and unqualified.

Don Tt get too pessimistic, the race is really
just beginning. Only now, after Labor Day, are
the majority of people really beginning to pay
attention, and the race doesn Tt begin to get really
intense until December . Richardson has plenty of
time to become known and get his message out. In
the end, voters are likely to choose him because of
his knowledge, experience, capacity to get things
done through cooperation and his non-polarizing
personality.

Have college students forgotten the
meaning of social drinking?

MARGOT ROGERSON
OPINION WRITER

Ever heard someone say, oI got so wasted last
night! � or oDude, I don Tt even remember that! � My
guess is that most college students would answer
yes T to this question. Phrases such as these have
become such a cultural norm to many American
students.

Therefore, my question is this: When did
drinking excessively, at times to the point of severe
health concerns, become such a natural part of
college life? When did the contest of how much
one can drink become more important than having
fun while you drink? As I have been studying in
Spain, I have noticed some distinct cultural dif-
ferences between the youth of Spain and that of
the United States.

The most distinct cultural difference that I.
have noticed is that although the people of Spain
enjoy drinking alcoholic beverages as much as
Americans, they prefer it to be regarded as a tran-
quil social event. Many American college students
would reply that what is practiced in the United
States is social drinking, but this is where I would
disagree. Lining up shots and taking them as
quickly as possible is not often seen in Spain. Many
times, one beer can last a person all night.

It is very common in the United States to hear
an American college student recollecting how
drunk he or she was one any given night. Fewer
times will they mention the group, or how much
the others had to drink. Even more seldom would

Who wants another Bhat

you hear either in Spain.

On the surface, Spain is a country that has
more bars that are visited more frequently and
are open for longer hours. However, that being
said, there are less people getting drunk. It seems
to me that Spanish people have not forgotten the
meaning of social drinking.

According to Wikipedia, social drinking
orefers to casual collateral drinking, usually with-
out the intent to get drunk. � If one is to use such
a definition, it seems that the average American
student practices much more than social drinking.
So what makes the United States different? What
makes one culture different from that of another?
This article is not a means of criticism, as I am an

active member of the cultural norms of the United .

States; however, my experiences have provoked
many thoughts.

Is the American way of getting ed really
such a good idea and past-time? Let Ts see, one
usually says and does things he or she will later
regret. That is assuming that one remembers the
night Ts events. Also, at times, one can wake up feel-
ing extremely sick and confused. And still other
times are spent rolling out of bed and looking at
the credit card receipt and realizing that you spent
entirely too much money at the bar.

We all might do a little better to remember the
meaning of social drinking and trying to have a
bit more responsibility in our college years. Fewer
women might be taken advantage of, fewer drunken
phone calls made and fewer moments regretted. To
be sure, passing the time with friends and having
a drink or two can be blissful, but as it says on the
beer label, drink responsibly.

Talking differently
equals stupidity

Dialect seems to matter

KIMBERLY BELLAMY
NEWS EDITOR

College is a place that gives you the freedom
to express yourself and be exposed to new ideas
and cultures.

With all the freedom ofeled: some eit
seem reluctant to accept it, and turn their backs
on anything that doesn Tt scream familiarity.

The slightest things, such as the way some-
one talks, turn people off. This is something that
I Tve noticed since making my transition from my
small hometown, full of people that sound just
like me, toa university filled with a multitude
of diverse groups. :

When facing such a situation, you can opt
to do two things: stay true to your regional
dialect and be judged, or conform to those
around you.

Many people make assumptions about your
intelligence, competence and character by your
accent or your choice of words (slang).

These features are key characteristics that
make each one of us unique, not foreign.

Conformity is a way that all of us have
decided to cope with this issue, whether we Tve
realized it or not.

Usually, people speak differently around
certain groups to feel a sense of belonging.

The word usage chosen in a conversation

_ with your mother would probably be different

from the words chosen for a conversation with
your spouse or companion.

The things you choose to say to your floset
friends would differ from things you decide to
share with your professor.

This type of conformity, also known as
code switching, provides us with security. This
confirms the saying of oyou are who you hang
with. �

Choosing not to change your style of speech
comes with consequences that can play a major
part in our reputation, jobs we Tre hired for and
friends we make.

Maybe we should take a step back and think
about why certain people talk the way they do
before making assumptions.

Undeniably, your ethnic background can be
a factor in the way someone talks. One of my
close friends from high school told:me that I
didn Tt sound black anymore.

How does black sound? Is black vernacu-
lar better or worse than other distinctions in
language?

Some of these criticisms come from those
that are supposed to empower and encourage
us.
One of my professors has told me flat out that
I sound too country. What is the definition of
country and what Ts so wrong with it?

My southern drawl doesn Tt make'me inferior
to you. Your thick city accent doesn Tt make you
any smarter.

The profession of broadcast journalism that
I want to go into suggests that their employees
express no dialect.

If I am capable of getting the same message
across with my native tongue, then why should
I talk with no indication of dialect?

You can stay true to yourself and still ful-
fill the duty of communicating with a large
population.

Everyone is capable of producing and com-
prehending eloquent, meaningful thoughts.
The way these thoughts are expressed once we
open up our mouths to speak shouldn Tt be an
automatic dismissal of these ideas.

Whether your accent is regional, racially or
culturally stimulated, it should be acknowledged
and accepted, not frowned upon.

Use your time in college to develop an open
mind to all types of people.

Pirates 13th in
Southeast Poll

SID---After starting the
season 5-1-2, the ECU wom-
en Ts' soccer team has received
national recognition. With two
straight shutouts. against in-
state foes Campbell and UNC
Wilmington, the Pirates are
ranked 13th in the Southeast
Region according to Soccer
Buzz, the exclusive colle-
giate publication for women Ts
soccer.

The ranking is the highest
for ECU since 1999, when they
were ranked 10th going into
the Tfinal week of the season.
That team would go on to
finish 11-5.

North Carolina (6-2) is
currently ranked first in the
Southeast Region followed by
Florida State (5-2-1), South
Carolina (8-1), Florida (4-2-
2) and Wake Forest (5-3-1).
Charlotte (5-3 9th) and N.C.
State (5-1-2, 15th) round out
the six North Carolina schools
ranked in the top 15. C-USA
foe UCF is also ranked in the
top 15, coming in 10th with a
record of 4-2-2,

fully that will help. �

KEYS IC
THE GAME

4. Spread out the ECU defense

The Pirates have struggled against the spread of-
fense the past two weeks, and Houston runs the
spread offense very effectively. Houston has an

_athletic offensive core in freshman quarterback

Case Keenum, senior receiver Donnie Avery, who
runs a 4.25 40-yard dash and a speedy running
back in Anthony Alridge, who leads C-USA in all-
purpose yards with 193.7 yards per game. The
Cougars need to get the ball to their playmakers

in space like Southern Miss and West Virginia did

against the ECU defense.

2. Win the special teams battle

Special teams should play a huge role in this
game, as both teams have distinct strengths and
weaknesses in this area. Both teams have strong
kick returners in Houston Ts Alridge and ECU's
Chris Johnson; the Pirates currently lead C-USA in
kickoff returns. Houston is also last in the contfer-

FOOTBALL PREVIEW

ECU to use two-quarterback system

JARED JACKSON
STAFF WRITER

It Ts no secret that ECU (1-3, 0-1) is roughed up and fatigued after
enduring one of the toughest four game stretches in program history;

_ During each of Skip Holtz T first two seasons the Pirates have started
the season 1-3, but went on to win its next game; both of which were
played in Greenville. [his year ECU is once again sitting at 1-3 but look-
ing for its second win of the season against defending C-USA champion
Houston (2-1, 1-0) at Robertson Stadium, instead of at the comfort of
Dowdy-Ficklen.

The Cougars only loss has been to No. 11 Oregon, and Holtz knows

that his team is in for another highly competitive game.

oFrom a statistical standpoint, I wish we were better on both oe
of the ball, � said Holtz. oHowever, we have played two top-10 teams and
then the best defensive team in the conference. It doesn't get any easier,
though, as we go to play Houston...they return eight players on defense
and seven players on offense from a team that won the conference a year
ago. I think Coach Briles has done a great job with his team and he is
beginning to establish a program that is soltd every year. �

The Pirates own a 4-3 advantage in the series with the Cougars
dating back to 1997. ECU Ts last victory over Houston came in 2002.
The Pirates lost the last meeting between the two however, 34-24, at
Robertson Stadium in 2004.

ECU has had a rough four-game stretch to open the season, but the
last two weeks have been especially draining, as the Pirates let one get
away against Southern Miss, 28-21, and then traveled to play West Vir-

_ ginia, only to get beat handily by the Mountaineers, 48-7.

Now ECU must board a flight on Friday and fly across the country to
play the Cougars, and Holtz knows that the emotion of the first third of
the season, coupled with traveling can wear anyone out; including him.

oWe've been competitive in the first games and emotionally they

_were so draining, � he said. oI went home after the North Carolina and

Southern Miss games, sat down and felt exhausted, and I didn't have the
physical side to it, just the emotional. �

Holtz is hoping the travel to Houston will not affect his players
effort on Saturday.

oYou worry about fatigue, Holtz said of the road trip. ou re getting
on a bus, then youre on a plane, then you're on a bus and you go back

_and forth. It Ts like herding cattle sometimes, travel can be draining and

ence in punting, while the Pirates are 2-of-6 on

field goal attempts this season. Houston needs to

getter production out of its punter, contain Chris:

Johnson on kick returns and win the special teams
phase of the game.

3. Use the home field advantage

Houston is approximately 1,110 miles away from

Greenville. The Cougars went undefeated at home

last season, including the C-USA championship

game, and haven't lost at Robertson Stadium

since Nov. 19, 2005. The last time the Pirates

played in Houston was last year against Rice, a
game which Rice won on a last second field goal.
Traveling halfway across the country to win a col-

lege football game is not an easy chore, something

Houston should benefit from Saturday.

take a lot out of you. �

While Holtz would surely love to have. a cupcake team awaiting his
squad on Saturday, the fact of the matter is that his team must line up
and play the defending conference ebatapions in the second phase of
ECU's schedule.

oWe sat the team down and broke our schedule into three parts, �
Holtz said. oThe first part is over and now you begin to get into the
conference race. The middle part isn't any easier when you look at
Houston, UCF, UTEP and NC State. We are at a stopping point now
and we want to evaluate where we are and where we are going for the
next four games. �

One of the things that Holtz and his staff came to the conclusion of
during their evaluation is that the team needs to utilize both junior Patrick
Pinkney and redshirt sophomore Rob Kass at the quarterback position.
While Patrick Pinkney has done above and beyond what has been asked
of him in his three starts as the Pirates T signal caller, Rob Kass brings
certain elements to the offense that Pinkney cannot, and vice versa.

oThere is a need and there is room for two quarterbacks in this
offense, T Holtz said at a Monday press conference. oWe can't ask Patrick

_ to do everything right now. We have to formulate different packages

so that Patrick and Rob can be successful. It will be much harder for a

_ defense having to prepare for multiple packages. The blocking schemes

for the offensive line wont change much but we will use our personnel
where they best fit. �

Kass, who was originally slated to be the Pirates T starting quarterback
prior to being arrested for driving while impaired the week before the
season opener, is looking forward to his first significant action of the
season against the Cougars.

oI'm very excited, T said Kass. oAs much as this past week at West
Virginia hurts, were all going to learn from it. Were all going to
become better players. The coaches are going to work their butts off to
get this team prepared to go to Houston and work towards a conference
championship. �

Kass also happens to be in favor the dual Wie erbauk eaten, which
will utilize either Pinkney or him depending on the situation.

KEYS IC
THE GAME



_1. Force Houston to run the ball

Before: becoming Houston Ts head football coach,
Art Briles was the running backs coach at Texas
Tech, which means that he was around an offense

that passed the ball almost every down. It Ts no

wonder that Briles adopted the same offensive
philosophy at Houston, as the Cougars have been
throwing the ball an average of 35 times a game
through three games this season. ECU must take
away the pass and force Houston to run the ball
or the Pirates secondary could get picked apart

all game long.

2. Make the dual quarterback system work

Skip Holtz has let it be known all week that he
plans to play both Patrick Pinkney and Rob Kass
at the quarterback position this weekend in an
effort to keep Houston's defense on its toes.
Pinkney is known as a scrambler that can use
both his legs and arm to march down the field,
while Kass is a typical gunslinger that can thrown �
the ball downfield and make the big play. In order
to successfully utilize this system, the coaches
must substitute Kass and Pinkney in at the right
times and not mess with the offensive rhythm.

3. Bounce back

The Pirates are banged up both mentally and
physically, and will have a long plane ride on
Friday. Holtz and his staff must make sure that,

_the players are rested up and are on top of their

game come 7 p.m. Saturday. lf not, then don't be
surprised to see the same snowball effect that
doomed the Pirates against West Virginia from
the outset of the game last week.

THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 27, 2007

PREVIEW continued from A6

oPatrick brings a lot of great attributes to the quarterback position, he brings a lot of things
that I don Tt, � Kass said. oI feel like Houston and other teams in our conference and other defenses
are going to have to work for not only myself, but Patrick as well �

At the end of the day however, Kass just wants to be on the team that pulls out the victory.

oIf | get an opportunity to go out there, I just want to play well, � he said. oIf | dont get a
single snap and this team wins, I Tm just as happy. As long as East Carolina comes out on the

- winning side of the scoreboard that Ts all that matters to me. �

While the Pirates faced the rushing attack of the Mountaineers last week, this week ECU
should be prepared for the Cougar Ts pass-happy offense that is sure to be engaged in full throttle
after watching game tape of the young and statistically dreadful Pirate secondary. [he Cougars
redshirt freshman quarterback, Case Keenum, has thrown for 561 yards and four touchdowns
on the year.

Pirate defensive tackle Khalif Mitchell believes while stopping the run is most essential to
the Pirates, the Cougars like to throw the ball and he doesn't consider that a bad thing.

oIt is always important and a priority, T Mitchell said of stopping the run. oIt Ts always impor-
tant to make sure you play your gaps, play hard and knock the line of scrimmage back so when
the running back runs down he runs into our guys...Stopping the run is bigger than stopping
the pass, but they do pass a lot and that is going to be good because it is going to allow us to
come after them more.

As the days and hours tick away tomards Saturday's 7

Coffman stands tall on young line

Left tackle Josh Coffman plows a S. Miss defender to keep-the pressure from getting to Pinkney.

Offensive lineman can
do it all

KELLEN HOLTZMAN
STAFF WRITER

Josh Coffman is a nomad in
the world of the ECU offense.

In 2003, Coffman Ts journey
began when he entered ECU as
one of the top tight end pros-
pects in the nation. After the
2007 season, the Palmetto, Fla.
native will leave as one of the
most talented offensive linemen
in school history.

Coffman made his offensive
line debut just last season. He
started 11 games at right guard
before moving to right tackle
near the end of the season.

Right tackle was not the last
stop for Josh on his trek through
the trenches. Coffman has now
found a permanent home at the
left tackle position this season.

Head coach Skip Holtz rec-
ognizes the difficulty of switch-
ing positions so many times.

oI know he Ts made some
huge sacrifices to go bea tackle, �
said Holtz. oHe was a tight end
when he came in here and then
he played guard; and then he

moved to right tackle and then
with the injuries we've had, he Ts
had to play at left tackle...He Ts a
real team player and we're lucky
to have him. �

Considering how much
Coffman has moved around,
it may come as..a-sur-
prise that he found success
immediately as a.freshman.

Coffman cracked the starting
lineup for then head coach John

Thompson four different times as a °

tight end in 2008. His performance
even produced a selection.to the C-
USA All-Freshmen Team.

The following season yielded a
classic case of a osophomore slump. �
Coffinan struggled to get on the field
with new competition at the position
and did not record any statistics.

oIt was tough to be a player
that starts to take kind of a back-
seat role, � said Coffman. oBut that
helped me to realize that the team
is more important than yourself �

Coffman's fortunes would change
as the Skip Holtz era began in 2005.
He credits offensive line coach Steve
Shankweiler with proposing the switch
from tight end to offensive line.

oWe felt like he was prob-
ably not fast enough to be a
tight end that could run down
the middle of the field, � said

Shankweiler. oBut he was obvi-
ously big enough to be a fast
offensive lineman. �

Big may be an understatement.

Coffman Ts 6-foot-7 frame is
ideal for a lineman, but the coach-
ing staff decided to redshirt him
for the 2005 season to bulk up
for the new role.

oComing in as a 211-pound
freshman and then now pushing
295 or 300 pounds is something
that [strength and condition-
ing] coach [Mike] Golden has
really helped me out with, � said
Coffman. oHe helped me add the
right weight, muscle, instead of
just fat and nonsense weight. �

The 2006 season offered Coffman
afresh start and a chance to resurrect
his career. He did not disappoint.

Coffman Ts stellar play on the
right side of the offensive line
earned him league accolades,

landing All-Conference
USA second-team (media) and
third-team (coaches) honors.

oIt was an honor and it Ts
one of my goals to be an all-
conference player, � said Coffman
of the distinction. oUnfortunately
it wasn't the level I was aiming for
and hopefully we'll get that turned

Quarterback carousel 1s troubling

Pinkney and Kass will

be sharing duties

GREG KATSKI
SPORTS EDITOR

&

It is the classic battle of wits
and ingenuity, strength and
skill, and ultimately success in
football; the competition to be
the starting quarterback. While
some football pundits think
that a quarterback controversy

.can bring a healthy, competi-

tive spirit to a team,

history

and common sense tell us oth-
erwise.

In football, there is nothing
more important than stabil-
ity at the top; long-tenured
coaches and quarterbacks bring
a necessary order to a team.
This is especially the case with
quarterbacks, who must build a
trust with their wide receivers,
offensive line, tight ends and
running backs.

Peyton Manning and the
Indianapolis Colts provide the
best example for this stability, as
Manning has been working with

the same set of wide receivers
and tight ends
for many years.

has become

The execution ©

so flawless between Manning
and wide receiver Marvin Har-
rison that Manning can throw
a sharp pass to Harrison before
Harrison even makes his cut,
and viola, a 30-yard out-route
done easy.

There is no such stability
to be found on ECU Ts offense,
especially with a host of first-
year starters and newcomers.
The one position settled before
the beginning of the season was
at quarterback, until starter Rob
Kass was arrested and charged
with driving while impaired
the Saturday before the season
opener against Virginia Tech.

Former third-string quar-
terback Patrick Pinkney seized
the opportunity and posted a
career-defining game against
UNC the following week.

All seemed to be stable
at the position until the fol-
lowing week when Pinkney
made several mental errors,
including an interception and
two illegal forward passes in a
loss to Southern Miss. Although
these mistakes halted drives, it
was not solely Pinkney Ts fault
that ECU lost; the quarterback
still posted very respectable sta-
tistics. The same cannot be said
for Pinkney Ts performance at
No. 5 West Virginia last week,
but this is understandable.

It seems as if after the UNC

game every Pirate fan in the

. . country forgot that Pinkney

had never started a game
\ before the season, let
_ alone thrown a pass in
a game. With such high
expectations placed by
the UNC perfor-
mance, it was inevi-
table that Pinkney
would have his let-
downs.

Now the Pirates
sit at 1-3 for the second
year in a row, granted
the team Ts first four games
this season trump last
season Ts in degree of dif-
ficulty, and are looking
for answers on offense.

ECU football Head

Coach Skip Holtz
said before the game

es

-ing schemes for the offen-

at West Virginia that the team
would be re-evaluated and
changes would be in-store at
key positions. ~

oIt Ts time to start holding
people accountable, � said Holtz.
oWe are in the midst of discuss-
ing some changes right now at
a couple of positions. If we can Tt
create a winner three weeks in
a row it Ts time to ask if we are
playing with the right people. �

Holtz stayed true to his
word, as Pinkney and Kass will
be sharing duties at quarterback
for the foreseeable future. If
recent history is any indication,
this is not necessarily a good
coaching method. The only
quarterback duo I can recall
having success in this system
is the dynamic one-two punch
of Florida quarterback Ts Chris
Leak and Tim Tebow, who
carried the Gators to the BCS
National Championship.

The same experiment failed
for the Jacksonville Jaguars, as
the stoiac Byron Leftwich and
flashy David Garrard failed to
produce winning seasons for the
Jags while sharing duties.

The problems with having
a two-quarterback system are
numerous and obvious. No quar-
terback can feel comfortable
with the threat of another able-
bodied quarterback waiting on
the sideline for the slightest
mistake or miscue.

Pinkney has his shortcom-
ings, but has seemingly won
the job from the ground up. It
makes me wonder how he will
respond when a mistake is made;
will he fold under the pressure,
or prevail?

Holtz T rationale is simple
and understandable.

oWe can Tt ask Patrick to do
everything right now. We have
to formulate different pack-
ages so that Patrick and Rob
can be successful, � Holtz said.
oIt will be much harder for a
defense having to prepare for
multiple packages. The block-

sive line won't change
much, but we will use
our personnel where
they best fit. �

The question is, will this
also make it harder for Pinkney
to prepare knowing that he
might not be the right fit for
certain situations throughout
the game. Quarterbacks require
time and experience during the
game to find a flow and rhythm
they feel comfortable with.
Inserting Kass for a deep pass,
or Pinkney for a bootleg will
only disrupt the rhythm of the
offense and quarterbacks.

oWe are not good enough
offensively to be one-dimen-

sional.. There is a need and there.

is room for two quarterbacks in
this offense, � Holtz said.
Pinkney and Kass certainly
have two distinct sets of skills
for a quarterback; Kass has the
strong arm and large frame,
Pinkney has the quick feet and
natural instincts of a play-
maker. It will be interesting
to see how the quarterbacks
are used in the offense;
but the results
might not be so
pretty. Holtz
thinks that
the offense
Cann ot
afford to be
one-dimen-
sional and must keep
defenses on their
heels, but every-
one and their mom
knows that when
Kass is in he Ts
going to stay
strong in the
pocket and
look deep,
and when
Pinkey
1S
in

he Ts going to get out of the
pocket and look to make a play.

Holtz is positive that the
offense needs the spark of two
very different quarterbacks.

oWe need to be able to play
two quarterbacks but Patrick
has never needed confidence, �
Holtz said.

I hope Holtz is right and
Pinkney is not affected by
the quarterback controversy,
because confidence is something
that cannot be measured in a
quarterback, unlike physical
skills.

Coffman Ts combination of
size and strength has garnered
national attention. Lindy Ts National
College Football Magazine rated
Coffman as one of the top-10
potential NFL talents in C-USA.
Coffman appreciates
the accolades but remains
focused on the team.
oFirst thing Ts first, � said
Coffman. oYou Tve got to take
care of the things at hand

that stuff when it gets here. �
With mentors like Shank-

ler. oIt Ts a new thing for him. It Ts
only his second year playing.

oHe Ts getting better every
week. I think by midseason, he Ts
going to be a real solid player. �

The modest words of player
andcoach reflect the dogged men-
tality Josh Coffman maintains.

He finally found his way to
the top, even if he did not take
the easiest path to get there.

Kristen Brown, a representative from the
gallery, said that all ECU students are welcome
to come see Hartley's work, although many have
already visited the gallery.

oHartley has an incredible following of support
from ECU, as well as a large base of collectors.
Many of his past and present students came to the
show, as well as several of his colleagues from the
university, � said Brown.

The Lee Hansley Gallery is devoted to
featuring artists from around the southeast,
and Hartley is one of over 30 artists that the
gallery represents.

oLee Hansley Gallery represents several
other ECU artists, including but not limited to,
Catherine Walker, Michael Voors, Carl Billing-
sley, and Hanna Jubran. The Gallery also had a
group exhibition of ECU faculty artists in 2005, �
Brown said. \

Hartley is well known for his profound under-
standing of art history and deep interest in twenti-
eth-century film and popular culture. With his sig-
nature blend of acrylic and oil painting, Hartley's
work invites a sense of melancholy to the viewer.

Professor Profile: Galina Panova

Assistant dance instructor Galina Panova has a remarkable resume.

A Life of Dance

CHELSEA CAMPEN
STAFF WRITER

Russian-born Galina
Panova is an assistant dance
instructor at ECU with a
remarkable resume.

Her father was a pilot and
her mother was a doctor who
saw potential in Panova and
encouraged her to continue to
study dance.

Panova, who has danced
since she was about six or seven,
was chosen by one of the top
dance schools in the world, the
Perm Choreograph Academy.

Panova danced for the acad-
emy from 1960-1968, where she

studied ballet, French and piano. -

She entered the board-

ing school-like academy
at the young age of 10.

oYou get used [living on
your own] � said Panova, refer-
ring to being away from home
and family at such a young age.
oYou go home maybe once or
twice a year, but you get used to
it, that is what-you know. �

She also believes that
beginning to dance at a very
young age prepares dancers for
serious careers.

Panova feels that gaining
rapport in the dancing world
is very important, because it is
harder to make a career from
dancing, then say, Broadway.

o[ There are] bigger oppor-
tunities for various types of tal-
ented people [on Broadway], �
Panova said.

One of the reasons for these

Photo by Forrest Croce

difficulties is that ballet compa-
nies have a stricter criteria for
physique and ability.

The Perm Choreograph
Academy, Panova feels, pre-
pared her for an impressive
international career which
allowed the world to see her
grace and talent. Galina Ts stel-
lar performances have earned
her the Gold Medal in the
Varna International Ballet
Competition in 1968, as well as
an award for best performance
and interpretation of Pulcinella
by Igor Stravinsky in 1991.

She has danced under 22
ballet companies in countries
all over the world, including the
Metropolitan Opera House in
New York. Additionally, she has
danced with renowned dancers,
such as Mikhail Baryshnikov
and Cyril Atanassoff, -in a
lengthy classical repertoire as
well as some ballets written
by her husband, Valery Panov
(with whom she danced in
numerous shows).

Her impressive resume also
goes on to include an appear-
ance on Broadway in the musi-
cal comedy On Your Toes.

Panova shared that rehears-
als are usually a strenuous
seven to ten-hour-a-day regime,
but that they allow the body to
T remember intricate movements.

In her free time, Panova
shares her love of dance by
teaching Argentinean Tango
to older adults.

She likes teaching at ECU,
and she finds fulfillment in
nurturing the young talent
here as well as choreographing
the shows for the Theatre and
Dance Department.

Panova has been instruct-
ing dance since 1987 at vari-
ous academies in the U.S. and
around the world.

Panova stated that good
dancers must have oa sense
of musicality, the ability to
create a character and that the
audience must see what you
are thinking... their job is to
believe in you. �

ered art or photojournalism.

Cook feels the message
photography delivers is what is
most important.

oI guess you could consider
the piece photojournalism. It
depends on who you ask. In my
opinion, photos don Tt always tell
the truth, and art and reality
are both subjective. I tried my
best to present the situation as

honestly as I could. All in all,
this is something people need to
see, not shy away from, regard-
less of how ugly it is, � said Cook.
There is without a doubt a
fine line between what is art
and what is photojournalism,
but one of the many benefits
of this particular exhibition is
that it includes many powerful
images, possibly helping the

viewer to develop his or her
own opinion on the matter.

event and future events hosted

for the musical, � said Gladden.

oBoth Hello, Dolly! and our
other production, The Under-
pants, are both set in the time
period that ECU was founded, �
said Woodruff.

Hello, Dolly! is a story set in
New York City in the turn of the
century The musical outlines
the story about a matchmaker
who is trying to set herself up
with the richest new up-and-
comer in the city. She does not
give up and stalks him until she
finally gets her chance to go
after the young millionaire.

The main character, Dolly
Levi, is played by senior music
major Ashley Burke.

Woodruff said that casting
Burke was not a difficult deci-
sion and said that she is work-
ing extremely hard to capture
the iconic character by putting
in extra hours in the theatre
in addition to their 4-5 hour
daily rehearsals.

oThis [Dolly Levi] is a
great character and she is a bit
of a role model, � Woodruff said.

Woodruff encourages stu-
dents to come to the musi-

UNION continued from Al10

Additionally, on Jan: 25,
the Student Union will be
sponsoring a large comedy
show, although the come-
dian has not yet been decided.
This will be the first major
event that Student Union has
sponsored in five years. More
information about the comedy
show will be announced at a
later time.

Student Union also plans
events like bingo and cultural
programs on campus and works
closely with other groups at
ECU, like the Ledonia Wright
Cultural Center.

oI Tve learned a lot about
event planning and doing a lot
of hands-on planning [through
the:Student Union]. There Ts a
lot that students can do. We've
definitely gone down in num-
bers, but it Ts really easy to join.
All-you need to do is come to
Mendenhall and let someone
know what youre interested in
doing. You can [also] do a lot
of networking through Student
Union. I Tve made most of my
friends at ECU from being in
the Student Union, � said Sherry
Lillington, a committee member
of the Student Union.

Student Union also works
with movie theatres and com-
panies to bring films to ECU
that have not yet hit theatres.
These films are chosen entirely
by students of the Student
Union committees.

According to Charles
Brown, Director of Student
Activities at ECU, each com-
mittee of the Student Union has
a chair (or leader). who does not
vote for movies, popular enter-
tainment, lectures, or concerts,
which leaves the decisions up to
the-students.

oThe chairs of the seven
committees do not vote for films
or anything else. We hope that
this takes away any biases of the
chair, T said Brown.

Brown also said that the
Student Union is different than
most organizations on campus
because it does not require any
member to pay dues.

Spectrum: TBA

8 Cultural Awareness:

_ Films: Thursdays at 5 p.m. -

oMembership is open to all
students at ECU. It states in
our constitution that any stu-
dent [at ECU] is a member of
the Student Union. Whether
or not they choose to actively
take part in it is up to them, �
Brown said.

Michael Caple, Student
Union President, said that the
organization is a fun, gratifying
place for students to give opin-
ions about events on campus.

oIf you're looking for an
enriching opportunity to act
and have an impact on people Ts
lives through event planning...
then the Student Union is the
place for you, � said Caple.

Caple also stated that he
feels that the Student Union is
the most important organiza-
tion on campus because it gives
students the opportunity to
voice what they want out of their
time at ECU.

oTo be honest, 100 percent
of the time that we're planning
events, we take students T consid-
eration in mind...we Tre building
a team atmosphere, and I take
pride [in that], � Caple said.

Because most of the events
are chosen and requested by stu-
dents, Brown encourages more
people to come be:a part of the
Student Union.

oIf students are not happy
with the decisions that we make,
we welcome them to come and
vote. We want them to feel free
to personally take part in the
voting process, � Brown said.

Each month, the Student
Union issues a newsletter called
The Entertainer. The Enter-
tainer includes all events that
the organization is planning, a
member highlight, and a section
orewinding � the events that have
already happened.

Students can pick up The
Entertainer in Mendenhall the
first week of every month.

The Building and
Writing on the Wall

Monday, Oct. 1 Noon

MSC Room 244 and:
LWCC

The Writing on the Wall
project serves as a shared expe-
rience of taking personal action
to confront oppressive behavior.
and elements in our society:

Through the act of literally -

constructing a wall represent-
ing our oppression of others
throughout human history
" and tearing down this strue=: 1
ture " we. will be reminded: of: i:
the need to act and personally |
experience the power to create '
positive change for the future.
Participants will be encour-
aged to write and/or mark on
the wall, amomentin their own
experience or in our collective
history, an act of discrimina-
tion, an outrage, a crime or Tan
act of inhumanity. They will
paint or write this act on the
Wall of Oppression. This monu: :
ment will be erected on campus
so we remember and witness
the writing on the wall.

Tunnel of Oppression: ,

Wednesday,October3 6p.m.
Mendenhall Student Center:
The program is degigned
to create an awareness of dif--
ferent types of oppression, and
its effects, within society and T.
the campus community. The.
primary goal of the project is to
create an experiential program :
for ECU students, staff and fac-
ulty. The program challenges
participants in a safe environ-
ment. After going through the:
experience, participants process
what they see and feel with
trained counselors. Though
the program is targeted to the
ECU campus community, the:
program is open to anyone.
Participants will be taken
through a variety of experiences
to expose them to different
kinds of oppression, including
racism, homophobia, sexism,
able-bodism, classisn?, and
anti-Semitism. The program
also incorporated issues of body
image, domestic violence, and -
hate speech. The Tunnel is laid
out to increase level of sensory
images as participants pro-
gressed. through the experience.
