of Allied Health and

Change provides
opportunity for growth
NIA RICHARDSON
STAFF WRITER
The health programs at ECU
have received new status, as the
names of the Schools of Allied
Health Sciences and Nursing
have been changed to the College
of Allied Health and the College
of Nursing.
The status change is a direct
result of the colleges having a 60
percent increase in enrollment,
student credit hours and degrees
given over the past five years.
oThe awarding of col-
lege recognition status pro-
vides recognition of our tre-
mendous growth, productivity
and complexity and aligns us &
more closely with other colleges Se
at ECU, � said Sylvia Brown,
dean of the College of Nursing.
The College of Allied Health
Sciences currently has over 700
students enrolled in nine depart-
ment programs, which include
biostatistics, clinical laboratory
science, communication sciences
and disorders, community health,
health services and information
management, occupational ther-
apy, physical therapy, physician
assistant studies and rehabilita-
tion studies.
The College of Nursing
has an enrollment of over 1000
students in its undergraduate,
masters and doctoral programs.
Both colleges are housed in
the 270,000 square foot Allied
Health Sciences and Nursing
building that sits adjacent to
Brody School of Medicine.
Each department has inter-
active classrooms and labs that

STAFF WRITER
A new film course will be
offered next semester to students,
which focuses on issues relating
to culture, environment and post
dramatic events.
Only 2000 and 4000-level
classes are going to be offered
in the spring but are expected
to be the beginning steps in the
creation of a film studies minor.
ECU hired two new assistant
professors of film studies, Anna
Froula and Amanda Klein, to
create the minor.
The first class offered will
be Introduction to Film and will
cover film theory, genre and his-
tory and will be taught by both
Froula and Klein.
Froula will be teaching Post-

Women in eastern North
Carolina who have breast
cancer are discovering their
own tumors through self-
examination procedures.
Approximately 75 percent
of tumors are found by breast
cancer patients themselves,
even among women who
receive mammograms.
These tumors are often
larger and more difficult to
treat, according to research
studies conducted at ECU.
Andrea Rosenberg, a
second-year resident physi-
cian at the ECU Brody School
of Medicine, said the best thing
women can do in order to catch
breast cancer at-its earliest
stages is to educate themselves
about the warning signs of
breast cancer.
othe warning signs of
breast cancer include a change
in the size or shape of their
breast, a lump or thickening
in the breast or area around
the breast or underarm, warm
sensations in the breast, a
change in the look or feel of
the nipple including an inward
or sunken nipple, rash on the
nipple, nipple tenderness or
discharge, or any breast pain
or changing in the look or feel
of the skin on the breast, nipple
or areola, T Rosenberg said.
A cancer study led by
Rosenberg analyzed the medi-
cal records of more than 1,500
women diagnosed with breast
canger at ECU between 1999
and 2004.
The women surveyed
crossed all demograph-
ics, educational and income
levels. Findings suggest that
self-examination remains an
important method of breast
cancer identification.
Rosenberg and her
team found that 12 percent
of the women had tumors
that were at least five cen-
timeters in diameter.
oA tumor five centimeters
or more in diameter would
be at least a stage 2 cancer, �
Rosenberg said.
Breast cancer is classified
in four stages, and stage 2
cancer is advanced and may
affect lymph nodes.
Diagnosing cancer before
stage 3 can make a significant
difference in treatment and
quality of life for patients,
according to Rosenberg.
The findings led research-
ers at the Leo W. Jenkins
Cancer Center, a clinic at the
Brody School of Medicine,
to recommend that patients
be taught and educated in
their physicians T offices on
how to properly perform
breast self-examinations.
This early detection
method should be used in con-
Junction with mammograms.
oPrimary care physicians
need to spend more time with
their patients in teaching them
the correct procedure in how
to perform a proper self breast
exam and need to remind their
patients to continue to perform
them, � Rosenberg said.
Rosenberg Ts research con-
cluded that the likelihood
of breast cancer survival is
improved by early diagnosis.
A patient is more likely to
be cured or have prolonged
survival if she is faced with a
smaller tumor. |
While women often dis-
cover their own cancer, the
cancer discovered by mam-
mograms is identified earlier
in the same building.

War On Terror, � which will
collect essays about post-9/11
media, such as film, poetry, video
games and graphic novels.
Froula hopes that once the
book is published it will become
an undergraduate reader for
her class.
Contemporary American
and International Cinema will
be the other higher-level course
that will be taught by Klein.
The course will focus on
film genre, such as noir, west-
ern and romantic comedy and
how their themes and con-
ventions change or remain
the same depending on the
sociocultural environment.
oIt Ts going to rely heavily on
student input, � Klein said.
Opinion pieces based on
the films will be available to
the class.
The films taught will be
a mix of classic and current,
ranging from oStagecoach �
and oHis Girl Friday � to oThe
Departed � and oKnocked Up. �
Klein has been teaching for
seven years and for the last four
years she was a film professor at
the University of Pittsburgh.
She is currently working
on a manuscript on the signifi-
cance of film cycle in defining
genres, dealing mostly with
oghetto action cycle � films like
oMenace II Society. �
While the minor is being
set up, the teachers hope that
in the future they can offer core
courses about criticism, history
and international cinema.
oLots of the students are
excited about it, based on all
the feedback we Tve gotten, �
Klein said.
Other professors in both
the English and communication
departments have expressed
interest in being a part of the
film studies minor.
After the minor has been
formalized, the teachers hope
the major will follow closely.

{Happy Halloween! }
PCs reign
supreme
Macs are for little girls
ALEX LAROCCA
OPINION WRITER
My very first computer was one of the original
Macs my parents bought for 100 bucks. At age
nine, this was the first experience I ever had with
a computer, and at age nine, this was my first and
last time to ever own a Mac. I realize that Macs
have come a long way since then and I have used a
large array of new Macs, from the Powerbooks to
the desktop Macs, but no matter the size, weight,
or style, they have always sucked.
The history of the two can be run down like
this: Bill Gates helped create what is the general-
ized PC and Steve Jobs is owner of Apple. At one
point, Apple was on top of the world, but reality
rained down when Bill Gates outmaneuvered Jobs
and now everyone uses PCs. Fast-forward to about
10 years ago, and Macs began to create these dis-
gusting multi-colored, transparent computers and
laptops that a bunch of contemporary businesses
thought were innovative. This gave enough money
to Apple to eventually create what would remake
them: the iPod.
I hate iPods and because of iPods I hate Macs
also. iPods are cheap, faulty and when they break
the self-proclaimed ogeniuses � at the Apple store
tell you to buy a new one. Everyone fell for the
iPod craze and I have had three iPods now and had
trouble with all of them. Around the same time
Apple created the godly iPod they began pumping
out these ostylish � laptops with super-cool names
like oPowerbook � or the grand desktop, oG4. �
Having gained enough confidence, Apple actually
began to have commercials with the audacity to
bash PCs. .
We have all seen these commercials: the hip,
young white kid, Mac, next to that pathetic office-
attired white guy, PC. This of course could be a
take as Macs seem to be only for people with style
and a sense of individualism, as they make it seem.
This isn Tt what gets me, though. What gets to me
is when they make a PC seem confined to only oPC
things � whereas the Mac is so adaptable it attaches
itself only to its owner.
First off, every make looks exactly the same
and comes in black, white or metallic silver: Every
single desktop is set up like the next one and, in all
honesty, has confusing manners in order to really
get into the computer to see what Ts going on. You
are not allowed to.open your Mac, not only because
most Mac users have NO idea what is Bom on in
theirs, but because it is only right for a ogenius � at
an Apple store to fix anything with an Apple on it,
leaving anyone with a Mac problem at the mercy
of a money-grubbing franchise.
PCs on the other hand come in no distinct
manner. I can buy one from Dell, HP, IBM, etc., or
if I want (and everyone should) I can just buy every-
thing I need from Newegg.com or Tigerdirect.com
for a minimum of at least $400. Talk about robot-
and office-like...there are around 139 companies
that make PC cases (just cases) and I only caught
that amount on www.Newegg.com. I am not going
to bother to go into the number of companies that
make PC processors, RAM, Video-Cards, etc. The
accessories alone for PCs beat any variety Mac
produces. The amount of mice, monitors, fans,
cooling systems, etc., outweighs that skinny little
dweeb in the commercial. Also, Microsoft is so
very well-connected to PC, but if this was such a
bad thing then why do so TARY Macs come with
Microsoft Office?
All Apple wants is mass amounts of money and
they will pump out this absurd angle until they
go under. Just last year my girlfriend Ts hard-drive
on her Powerbook just stopped working. She was
forced to take it to a ogenius. � He came back out
to tell her the hard-drive was completely busted.
His reasoning, perhaps to a Mac user, made per-
fect sense oEventually they all just break. � $300
later, she had her brand-new hard-drive ready to
eventually break with all of her personality, I hate
the ogeniuses � because hard-drives don Tt all just
eventually break. I have never had a hard-drive
Just break on my PC, and I have never had to pay
$300 for a hard-drive either.
I can only hope that people realize how the
extra money you put into your Mac doesn Tt make
it work extra good, the-extra small iPod doesn Tt
make it extra convenient and the extra Is don Tt
make anything work extra-well.

Life as a transfer student
Why | came to ECU
LISA ENSMINGER
OPINION WRITER
I came from a school really close to my home,
about 45 minutes away, where I knew A LOT of
people. My orandom rvommate �.turned out to
be an acquaintance from high school and about
ten of my closest went there whom I saw almost
every day. The university was about the same size
as here in a small town with only a Wal-Mart, a
few fast food restaurants, and LOTS of bars. To
those who complain about Greenville being too
. small, you haven't seen small until you Tve been to
Oxford, Ohio.
Quite frankly, I just wasn Tt happy at
Miami University. There was absolutely no diver-
sity, with 60 percent of the population being Greek |
Life and I didn Tt feel like the school was fit for
me. It was a comfort zone (which is convenient at
times) but it was high school all over again, leaving
no room for me to grow as an individual. I could
always fall back on calling my best friend from
home or drive home to the same boring city that.
I've lived in all my life. I never was challenged to
meet new people and learn new things. Everyone
was the same, no one seemed real to me. I never
felt as if | was getting the full college experience
I needed or really risk going into the real world.
It was a big operfect � bubble I felt trapped in but
yet not perfect at all.
I came to ECU because it was far away
with a chance to start fresh with knowing no
one. The school is great with its pros and cons.
(but what school doesn Tt). The student body is
completely diverse and I meet a new and exciting
individual everyday. Everyone seems real here,
working hard for his or her education or working
hard outside of school. I get to explore a new area;
granted, Greenville isn Tt the most exciting city, but
Raleigh and Wilmington are nothing to complain
about. The experience being away from home has
been awesome because I started completely: over.
It is a great time to really grow as an individual
and become independent. ECU is awesome. Go

Pro-life and
Pro-Giuliani
- Or, seeing the forest and not
just the trees :
J.D. LEWIS
OPINION WRITER
Tama born again Christian, I'm pro-life, and I sup-
port Rudy Giuliani for President of the United States.
The former New York City mayor is my preferred
Republican candidate, and the refusal of so many in the
evangelical community to even consider him based solely
on his pro-choice views saddens me. They'll probably
even kick me out of the group after reading this.
Like it or not, in 1973, seven unelected justices on
the U.S. Supreme Court stripped the right of millions
of Americans to regulate abortion through their elected
legislators at the state level. It is now the law of the land,
and short of an amendment to the Constitution, there is
little the President or Congress can do aboutit. Sure, the
President can appoint new justices to the Supreme Court,
but these are lifetime appointments, and someone has to
die or resign first ... and it seems that just can Tt happen
fast enough for the religious right.
The mayor's promises not to make abortion a litmus
test for new justices and to appoint oconservative strict
constructionist � judges aren't what most evangelicals
want to hear. Never mind that our soldiers are dying
in Iraq, that there are still Islamic nutcases who want
to blow us off the map, that we're being held hostage
by OPEC and raped every time we fill our cars up with
gas, or that we're being invaded by illegals from south
of the border; their only concern, unfortunately, is that
a presidential candidate commits to appointing justices
who will overturn Roe v. Wade.
With that in mind, let Ts look at some fees Before
1973, when the Court cleared the way for abortion as a
form of contraception, the procedure was already legal
in all fifty states. Thirty states permitted abortion only
to save the life of the mother. Sixteen states, including
North Carolina, allowed abortions to save the life of the
mother and in cases involving rape or incest. Four states
allowed for some form of abortion on demand. Restricted
in most states, yes, but legal all the same. Where was the
pro-life outcry back then?
If someday, the Supreme Court should overturn Roe
v. Wade " and I don't believe it will " it won't be the
end of the world and the return to back-alley abortions
that pro-choice radicals like Ted Kennedy would have
us believe; neither will it be the final nail in abortion Ts
coffin that most pro-lifers believe it will be ... as I once
did. Abortion will still be legal, and overturning Roe
will simply mean that we the people have our right back
to set the policy in our respective states.
While I am pro-life, I am also a realist, and I believe
that abortion is a necessary evil in some circumstances.
I was once pro-life to the point of making Jesse Helms
look liberal, and then someone asked me a simple ques-
tion: If your wife was raped and became pregnant with
that man Ts child, do you think she should have to carry
that child to term? I cannot honestly say that I think she
should, and I don Tt believe that many evangelicals could
honestly say that either.
Since then, my position has been that of our state Ts
pre-Roe. I believe abortion is acceptable in cases of rape
or incest, and if necessary to save the life of the mother.
If it came down to losing: my wife or our unborn child,
I'd obviously want the doctors to do everything in their
power to save my wife. A fellow Christian once asked
me did I not believe God could intervene and save them
both. Of course I believe He could, and I'd pray that He
would ... but maybe that person has more faith than I do.
I wouldn't be willing to take the chance. We could always
try to have more children, but I could never replace my
wife. That may sound harsh to some, but I do not feel
that my position on abortion conflicts with my Christian
faith in any way. I have a clear conscience.
I most certainly respect that my opinion isn Tt going
to be everyone else's, nor do I expect it to be, but I have
little respect for single issue voters, be they pro-life or
pro-gun (which I am also). According to nearly, every
national poll, Rudy Giuliani is the only Republican
with a snowball Ts chance of defeating Hillary Clinton
in the general election. It is just the height of ignorance
for evangelicals to write Rudy Giuliani off for being
pro-choice in favor of electing a pro-choice militant like
Hillary Clinton, who many of these same folks view as
Satan incarnate. It just doesn Tt make any sense.

Campus dining provides more
options to students looking for
healthier foods
ERIN EDWARDS
STAFF WRITER
As the rate of overweight Americans
climbs, with an estimated 63 percent of
men and women possessing a Body Mass
Index (BMI) of over 25, it is predicted that
at least one-third of U.S. adults will be
obese by 2020 with a BMI in excess of 30.
This is a drastic jump from 31 percent in
2000, according to the American National
Center for Health statistics.
According to the Center for Disease
Control, obesity is defined as othe con-
dition of an excessively high amount of
body fat or adipose tissue in relation to
lean body mass. �
The difference between obesity and
being overweight is the level of BMI,
with overweight being between 25
and 30, and obesity being over 30.
So what does this mean for
college students? According to the
American Obesity Association, 64.5
percent of adults age 20 or older,
including college students, are over-
weight. Over
half of the
college popu-
lation is over-
weight, which can cause
health difficulties in
later years. Accord-
ing to Tara Barber, assis-
tant director for nutrition services at
Campus Recreation and Well-
ness, there are often several rea-
sons why ECU students gain weight.
oFor many students, especially fresh-
men, they are making decisions about food
on their own, rather than their parents
doing the grocery shopping and meal
preparations. This can lead to unhealthy
decisions about food, � said Barber.
Barber also attributes student weight
gain to not being physically active and
choosing to drink alcohol, giving students -
excess calories that add up over time. She
said that students should be aware of what
they are eating, especially in the dining
halls, because many have the tendency
to overeat, overlooking portion sizes and
not knowing when they are satisfied and
not stuffed.
For those affected by serious
weight gain in college, there are many
resources to be taken advantage of for
weight management.
The Campus Recreation and Well-
ness Department offers numerous options
for physical activity including personal
training, group fitness classes, walking
programs, adventure trips and more. Also,
nutrition services are offered on campus,
including free nutrition counseling from
a registered dietitian at Student Health
or Campus Dining. There is information
and resources, including food models
and handouts that can be picked up at
the Wellness Center.
Nutrition Director for Dining Services
Janie Eubanks believes that students
should be aware of the healthy food options
available on campus.

According to accounts from

Greek organization was the Phi

founded at the College of Wil-

specific letters are said to repre-

1. Score fast
Uncharacteristically, the Pirates were able to put
last week. ECU needs to do the same this week
by smacking Memphis in the mouth early. On the
season, ECU has been outscored 68-34 in the
first quarter so coming out and putting up points
on the first few possessions will be key.
2. Secondary play
The Pirates will once again be facing a opass
first � team this week. Senior quarterback Martin
Haskins has picked defenses apart this year with
10 touchdown passes and almost 1,500 yards,
despite not playing in two games. ECU's defen-
sive line must provide pressure, but creating
turnovers and not allowing big gains gives the
secondary the most important task of the game.
3. Protect the lead
Last week against UAB, the Pirates created a big
lead and never surrendered it. If ECU is think-
ing conference title then it must be able to hold
on to a lead again. Without a doubt protecting a
lead will also give the Pirates more confidence
on both sides of the ball as they move forward
towards the end of the season.

ECU trying to win fifth straight conference matchup
JARED JACKSON
STAFF WRITER
One down and three to go in the draining four games to end the regular
season, as the Pirates try to clinch the East Division title in C-USA and a berth
in the conference title game.
oThis is what we call our ofinal four conference tour, and Memphis is the
next opponent, � said ECU head coach Skip Holtz.
The Pirates [5-4, #-1] will travel to Memphis to play-the-Tigers [4 "4, 3-1]
this weekend in a pivotal C-USA clash set for 2 p.m.
T The match-up was considered to be a cake walk three weeks ago when
Memphis was struggling, but the Tigers have reeled off two straight confer-
ence wins, against Rice and Tulane, to improve their record to .500 and have
shot up the East Division standings where they currently sit in a tie for second
place with UCF.
Now the Pirates are set to enter another emotional contest, and because of a
Southern Miss loss to UCF last week, ECU now controls its own destiny in the
conference race. :
Win out and it will host the title game in Greenville; lose and the season Ts in
limbo.
oWe needed the help to control our own destiny but we always try to go 1-0
each week, � said Holtz about the UCF-Southern Miss game Ts ramifications. oPeople
have already started talking about three games from now but we need to make sure
we don Tt fall into that trap. I told the team, Just like last week, that they have until
Tuesday to get this game out of their systems to get ready for Memphis. �
The Pirates were in a similar situation last year as they traveled to Rice, in .
which they needed a win to clinch the East division title in their final conference
game of the season. After a Chris Johnson touchdown in the third quarter to
give ECU a 17-9 lead, the Owls fought back and eventually won, 18-17.
Rest assured Pirate nation; Skip Holtz remembers that contest well and is
making sure his team does too.
oIt is definitely a teaching tool, � Holtz said. oWe were in the same situation
last year that we are in now, controlling our own destiny. Hopefully the players
remember that trip and that feeling after losing the opportunity to play for the
conference championship. :
oLast year, we put ourselves in a position to play for the championship and
we stubbed our toe at the last second. Hopefully that taught us to maintain
our focus this year. If we don Tt take care of business this week then we lose the
opportunity to play for it again next week. �
The meeting between the Pirates and Tigers will be the 16th between the
two schools. ECU leads 9-6 in the all time series but Memphis has won four of
the last six. ECU won last season 35-20 in Greenville but Memphis won the last
time the two teams met at the Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium, 27-24.
oWe know that we have a challenge this week, � said Holtz. oMemphis is a
4-4 football team right now and 3-1 in the conference. They have won three of
their last four and are playing well with confidence. �
Holtz knows that his ECU defense will have its hands full this weekend.
oOffensively, they [Memphis] are scary because they have three tailbacks that
are playing by committee, � Holtz said. oTheir two quarterbacks have completed
over 60 percent of their passes and have thrown 14 touchdowns as compared
to seven interceptions.
oAdditionally, their five wide receivers: have caught over 20 passes and are
extremely tall, all the way up to 6-foot-8. �
The Tigers offense could present a problem for the ECU defense come
Saturday because of the things coach Holtz spoke of. Memphis ranks third in
C-USA in pass offense with 280 yards per game and fourth in total offense with
419 yards per game. :
Senior quarterback Martin Hankins has played well in all six games he has
had action in, throwing for almost 1,500 yards and 10 touchdowns. 6-foot-4
Junior, Maurice Jones has been the Tigers go-to option, amassing almost 500
receiving yards on the season on 26 receptions and two touchdowns. Carlos
Singleton has also been key for the receiving core, as the 6-foot-8 redshirt
sophomore has three touchdowns and 324 receiving yards.
The turnover differential should have a huge impact in this contest, as the Pirates
and Tigers rank No. 1 and No. 2, respectively, in C-USA in turnover margin.
oOn the defensive side of the ball, [Memphis] is a stingy group, � said Holtz.
oI think their secondary is extremely active and have a lot of upperclassmen,
especially -at the safety position.
oWe will have to be ready for the 4-4 or 4-3 and be really simple in what we
do offensively. They are first in redzone defense, second in scoring defense and
third in passing defense so we need to be ready. It will take one of our better
efforts, especially playing on the road. �
While this will be the third coaching battle between Memphis head coach
Tommy West and Holtz at their respective schools, the two also stood on oppo-
site sidelines while Holtz was an assistant at Florida State and West was the
head coach at Clemson; also when Holtz was an assistant for this father, Lou, at

Pirates face familiar foe in critical game
£EU
1. Win the turnover battle
ECU and Memphis are the top two teams in C-
USA in turnover margin, so the team that wins
the turnover margin on Saturday is likely to be
victorious. Memphis is very good at stripping
the ball, as it leads C-USA in fumbles recov-
ered with 13. Both teams rarely turn the ball
over so ball security, or lack there of, should
have a huge impact.
2. Pass the ball effectively
Memphis has passed for over 300 yards in all
four of its wins this year. Senior quarterback
Martin Hankins has struggled in the Tigers T
losses however. ECU Ts secondary played well
last week, but the jury is still out on the young
group that has been susceptible tothe long pass.
3. Win the fourth quarter
Memphis has been outscored in every quarter
this season except the one that usually matters
the most: the fourth. Memphis used a game-
winning drive in the final minutes to beat Tulane
last week and has won all three of its confer-
ence games by a combined seven points. These
two teams have a history of games decided in
the final minutes. Memphis will have to keep
the game close throughout and hope to pull
more late-game heroics in the final quarter.
TOMMY WEST
They're [ECU] talented and they
look offensively like a very similar
offense out there. It's amazing
watching it how similar both teams
are from an offensive standpoint. �

ECU club rugby team
les past competition
The members of the ECU club rugby team have formed a comradarie that translates well on the field.
Pirates stand out in
the south
HART HOLLOMAN
STAFF WRITER
With the varsity athletic
teams receiving the amount of
attention that they do from the
university and its supporters,
club teams often go overlooked
by the student body as legiti-
mate representatives of ECU
athletics.
The club hockey team
receives its fair share of public-
ity around campus, but there
are other successful club teams
that go unnoticed by most
students. The rugby team has
competed for years at the high-
est collegiate level; rising to be
one of, if not the best team in
the state. :
Since rugby is not a sanc-
tioned NCAA sport, no uni-
versity can have a varsity team.
Instead, competition is gov-
erned by USA Rugby, which
divides college teams into three
divisions. ECU Ts team currently
competes in the second division.
However, they have shown the
ability to defeat teams in Divi-
sion I in recent years. Last
spring, the Pirates finished
third in the prestigious Cherry
Blossom Tournament in Wash-
ington, D.C., defeating Division
I teams like Rice, Temple, and
Virginia Tech along the way.
Building on last years suc-
cess, which also saw the team
win its conference and make it
to the elite eight of the South
Region before losing to national
runner-up Arkansas State, the
team has gotten off to a blazing
start this year. Led by team
captain Casey Clapp and nine
other seniors, ECU has jumped
out to an unbeaten record and
top-15 national ranking.
Outside of tournament play,
the team has wins against Wake
Forest, Cherry Point Marines
and Cape Fear Men Ts Semi-Pro.
The combined score of the three
games was 86-7, with shutouts
coming against Cherry Point
and.Cape Fear.
This past September, the
team also competed in the
Ninth Annual Rucktoberfest
Fall Rugby Tournament hosted
by Appalachian State, and suc-
cessfully defended the cham-
pionship they had won the
previous year in convincing
fashion.
ECU began with two shut-
outs against in-state rivals
UNCW and App. St., 26-0 and
41-0, respectively. Then the
Pirates faced a Furman team
that has competed for the Divi-
sion III National Championship
the past four years, taking three
of four titles. Former ECU
place-kicker and first-year
player Robert Lee scored all of
ECU Ts points as it edged out the
Paladins, 9-7. Lee Ts two penalty
kicks and a drop goal in the run
of play were enough to send
ECU to the semi-finals.
There the Pirates faced
another in-state rival, N.C.
State. ECU dominated the
game and behind two try Ts (a
score similar to a touchdown
in football) by senior Thomas
see RUGBY page B4
PAGE B4
Francisco and more solid kick-
ing from Lee, it rolled to a
30-14 win.
In the finals, the Pirates faced
familiar foe Furman again. This
time however, ECU dismantled
them in an embarrassing 33-5
shellacking. Senior Drew Grif-
fin led the charge with two try Ts,
and again, Lee was crucial in the
kicking game.
ECU outscored its oppo-
nents 149-26 in the tournament.
Griffin and Francisco led the
team with four try Ts each, John
Markey had three, Conner Duke
had two and several others had
one each. Lee Ts exceptional kick-
ing earned him Ref Ts Choice
honors as the MVP of the tour-
nament.
The team was also the favor-
ite to win the state tournament
this past weekend in Raleigh,
but the tournament was can-
celled due to the rain. Now
the Pirates are looking toward
spring and defending their con-
ference title.
RUGBY continued from B3
oWe want to win the con-
ference again, obviously, � said
Griffin. oBut this year we want
to go a lot further in the national
tournament. �
Even with their success, the
Pirates are always looking for
new players and urging people
to come out.
oWe take all comers, � said
Griffin. oNo matter what shape
or size, athletic ability level or
experience level. There are no
tryouts and it Ts never too late
to show up. We just want to get
as many guys out as possible
who want to have fun and learn
a great sport. �
If you are interested in play-
ing, you can find a contact
email at the ECU club sports
website, or come out to practice.
Practices are held on Tuesdays,
Wednesdays and Thursdays
from 4:30-6:30 p.m. at the
Blount Intramural Fields.

Notre Dame and West was an
assistant at Tennessee.
oT think East Carolina has
played an absolute brutal sched-
ule, � said West. oThey've beaten
Houston, UTEP and Central
Florida, which are three really
good teams. They're really a
solid football team. They don Tt
make mistakes. �
After the dismantling of
UAB last week, the Pirates
seem to have a reemerging
quarterback situation on their
hands. Early season starter
Patrick Pinkney came off the
bench last week and completed
6-of-7 passes for 159 yards and
two touchdowns while looking
like the quarterback that ECU
fans saw earlier in the season as
compared to recently.
Although Pinkney played
great Saturday, Rob Kass still sits
atop the depth chart going into
this week Ts crucial matchup, but
Holtz will use his same approach
to dictating playing time for each
Saturday.
oBoth quarterbacks will play, �
Holtz said when asked what his
approach was this week against
the Tigers. oWho plays will be
predicated on how we are moving
the football and the other team Ts
defense. x
oI think we have a very healthy
quarterback situation. The first
guy off the sideline to congratulate
Patrick Pinkney after he threw
that touchdown to Jamar Bryant
in third quarter Saturday [against
UAB] was Rob Kass. It Ts a healthy
competition and a great thing for
our football team. �
Holtz is hoping that the two-
quarterback system will work
again this week.
oThis is not Rob Kass vs. Pat-
rick Pinkney, but East Carolina vs.
Memphis, � he said.
Armed with two quarter-
backs, ECU seeks to go 1-0
again this week in what Holtz
is calling the conference Ts single
elimination tournament. .
The Pirates are only three
weeks away from making his-
tory, but as they learned last
year, you have to take things
one week at a time.
