An event to test
military skills
ADELINE TRENTO
STAFF WRITER
Last week, the ECU Pirate
Battalion won first place at the
annual Ranger Challenge com-
petition in Fort Pickett, Va.
The Ranger Challenge, which
took place Oct. 26-28, allowed
dozens of cadets from 19 colleges
in North Carolina and Virginia
to compete against each other in
several different events.
oThe Ranger Challenge is a
competition that is held ever year
and it is put on by the 4" Brigade, ?
said Seargent Hill, coach of the
Ranger Challenge Team.
oThe win was pretty huge for
us because we hadn Tt won first
place before, we had won second
.and third, but never first. It was a
great accomplishment for us and
I am pretty proud of them. ?

first place standi
ng in the competition.
The winning Ranger Challenge
team was made up of nine males, one
female and two alternates who- Were
chosen to compete at the event:
oWe began tryouts three days
after school started and there
were certain criteria that the
cadets had to meet, ? Hill said.
oWe did PT tests, a written
land navigation test and there were
requirements that they had to méet
to be chosen for the team. ?
At this year Ts Ranger Chal-

events including a physical fitness
test, a basic rifle marksmanship
test, a tactical event, a command-

Students attend forum to
discuss possible fee increases
Raised awareness about
where fees are going
WILLIAM HALL
STAFF WRITER
A forum was held in the
Mendenhall Student Center on
Nov. 1 concerning the increase in
student fees.
SGA President Keri Brockett
gave the presentation alongside the
student fee committee members.
The forum was an opportu-
nity to create awareness about
the tuition process and to act
as an outlet for students and
community members to find out
where the fees are going.
oWe're the ones who pay tuition,
so we should have a say in where the
fees are going, ? said Ashley Yopp,
SGA speaker of the congress.
Tuition and fees have dou-
bled in the last 10 years.and the
proposed increase for next year
1s 1-2 percent.
There will be a $14 increase
from the $140 increase last year.
The tuition increase will be
announced at a later date.
The fees will be going to areas
Stadium and the transit system.
oWe are realistic that there
are going to be increases, ? said
Todd Johnson, interim vice pro-
vost of student affairs.
oWe look at ways to present our
services at an affordable rate. ?
The Recreation and Wellness
fee will go from $221 to $226 and
will go to facility employment.
The SGA fee will increase
from $220 to $221 and go towards

such as Banner, Dowdy-Ficklin&
employing the new student legal
services position.
The Education and Technol-
ogy fee will increase from $145
to $153.
This is the lowest increase in
that area, and the need reflects the
efforts to keep up with the other
schools in the UNC system.
The athletic department
did not ask for an increase, but
they do want the existing amount
to be redirected.
The department is partner-
ing with Health and Human
Services to build an auxiliary
gym to solve the problem of
overcrowding in Minges. The
redirection of funds will be
applied to the construction.
Resuliants
Student expresses interest about what increases in tuition and fees will be applied for the 2008-2009 school year.
The increase is coming from
the need to maintain the stan-
dard services within ECU and
the UNC school system.
It is also to help with finan-
cial aid, which is in more of a
need at ECU than any other
school in the state.
Trustees are also seeking
other monetary sources, such
as private donations and state
funds, to ease the pressure off
of students.
Another discussion about
the fee increase will be held
on Novy. 12 in the Social Room
of Mendenhall.

SGA works to resolve issue
with no quorum in congress
Constitutional
revision committee
assembled
DAVID WILDER
STAFF WRITER
SGA established the Con-
stitutional Revision Commit-
tee to review a structurally
unconstitutional section of the
SGA constitution.
oNew business can be con-
ducted once the committee
comes up with a resolution, ? said
Keri Brockett, SGA president.
The committee will deter-
mine any possible changes to the
SGA constitution, Brockett said.
oAt present, SGA congress
has about 12 members that are
elected at large in campus-wide
elections, ? said Corey King,
assistant vice chancellor for
student experiences.
oSGA congress currently
has about 50-60 funded orga-
nizations. According to the
SGA constitution, there should
be about, 110-130 members
}
of congress, thus the quorum
being 56-66 qualified mem-
bers, ? King said.
Article II, section IV of
the constitution requires con-
gress to be composed of: rep-
resentatives from all student
organizations who receive
annual funding from SGA, and
representatives-at-large must
be equal to the number of annu-
ally funded student organiza-
tions, and one representative
from each on-campus residence
hall must become an elected
member of congress.
Abey Dessie, SGA attorney
general, ruled that Article II is
structurally unconstitutional at
the Oct. 22 congress meeting.
However, Dessie also
ruled that SGA congress may
continue to perform official
business such as approving
new organizations, granting
emergency funding, voting on
student fees and passing resolu-
tions that respond to university
policies and procedures.

Industrial Distribution students
return from California conference
Students took

WILLIAM HALL
STAFF WRITER
Five ECU students in the
industrial distribution and logis-
. tics program recently returned
from the American Supply
Association (ASA) conference in
Anaheim, Calif.
The conference, held Oct.
24-27, was a nationwide gath-
ering of wholesalers, manufac-
turers and contractors, in the
plumbing and piping industry.
The students were given
the opportunity to raise aware-
ness about the program to
national-businesses.
The industrial distribu-
tion and logistics program is
a part of the College of Tech-
nology and Computer Science,
and specializes in the whole-
sale industry in the global
market place.
The participating students
are educated on the tools of the
industry, such as the manage-
ment of goods and services
across the world.
oWe know we Tre in a
global marketplace now, and
we're preparing our kids for
it, ? said Mark Angolia, a
teaching instructor for the
department of technology
who accompanied the students

oOur goal is not just to get
our kids an education, but to get
them a job. ?
The students also attended
many seminars on topics like
marketing, sales, motivation
and the impact that the new
generation of college graduates
will have on the industry.
Angolia and the students
took part in a panel presented to
over 100 people concerning pro-
gram recruitment techniques.
The conference also gave
the students a chance to net-
work with corporate CEOs and
executives in hopes of gaining
employment after graduation.
oThe current generation of
people in the distribution indus-
try are pretty close to retire-
ment age, ? Angolia said.
oThey're looking to the
younger generation to fill the void
that they're going to create. ?
There were 12 job inter-

SKATING continued from Al
oFigure skating is not popular
down here.in the South. I decided
to start a club for the students,
Just to skate for fun, ? Dean Lindo
said. -
Lindo is the head coach for the
club and is an assistant professor
for the Exercise 1000 program for
figure skating that he also created.
The club is registered with US
Figure Skating, and is sending at
least 10 of their athletes to Boston in
February to represent the university
for the 2008 intercollegiate season.
- They also have a competition
in Delaware next year. If they
qualify for nationals, they will
compete in Michigan with all
of the colleges on the east coast.
oA long future goal for
the club in general is to make
it to Intercollegiate Nationals, ?
Cecilia Lindo said.
The club has three different
program levels for thé skaters.
The first program is the tutorial
program, which is for students that
are taking figure skating for their
Exercise 1000 class.
Students in this class do not
neéd to have prior knowledge of
figure skating. The coaches teach T
them all of the basics that they
need to know.
oThe next program level is for
the recreational skaters who are
just involved in the club to learn
how to skate. It is a basic skills
program based on the US Figure
Skating sanction.
The tutorial and rec-
reational levels did a group
member showcase at The
Autumn Invitational Basic
Skills Competition.
According to Lindo,
this is like a otheater on
ice kind of performance. ?
There.are about 15 stu-
dents involved in these
parts of the club.
The third program
level is for competitive skaters
who represent the university
in competitions.
oA lot of competitive skaters
are coming to our school. A few
skaters from Boston heard about
the club:and came here to skate, ?
Dean Lindo said.
The competitive skaters for the
club include Justin Clements, Sasha
Tokarev, Samantha Dayman, Liane
Pavilonis and Haley Hawkes.
The competitive skaters help
to train the beginner skaters,
who seem to have demonstrated
improvement since they began
the class.

a ballet and Pilate teacher

In addition, all skaters must

at 7 a.m. to runa mile.
oTlove that the club is very active
with all members, no matter what
level of skating, ? Pavilonis said.
The figure skaters are all
coaches for Bladez on Ice and
were judges in the Invitational.
The sponsors for the ECFSC
include Cyclone Taylor, located
in Canada, Gold Ts Gym, which

In order to prepare for the
Ranger Challenge, the cadets met
every weekday morning at 6 a.m.
to do guerilla drills, run, weight

did in the morning, ? Hill said.
oThe cadets also practiced
their land navigation skills,
their marksmanship and they
practiced forthe written test
as well. We began preparing
for the event as soon as school
started, s6° we had about three
months of intense work. ?
At the Ranger Challenge,
Cadet Theodore Brennis, an
ECU sophomore, had the high-
est score out of 200 cadets in the
Army physical fitness test.
Brennis scored 370 points
out of a possible 300 points on
the test, which consisted of two
minutes of push-ups, two minutes
oThe Ranger Challenge is
the only opportunity that we
have to compete with other
ROTC programs in our Bri-
gade, ? Brennis said.
oYou can look at as many sta-
tistics and numbers as you want
to, but when it comes down to
finding out which schools have
the most prepared and dedicated
cadets, the Ranger Challenge is
an excellent gauge of the quality
of a school Ts ROTC program.
The skills that we try to develop
in the Ranger Challenge are
skills that every cadet is required
to be proficient in to become an
officer in the U.S. Army. ?

{ Today is the day. }
Right 1s night
MARGOT ROGERSON
OPINION WRITER
First, before I begin, this article is going to
be controversial. It is not, however, meant to dis-
criminate against any religion or belief of someone
else. I only want the opportunity to respond to a
significant question in my life: Can atheists have
morals?
I am an atheist. My religious views, or rather
lack thereof, are something that have shaped every
aspect of my life, as it does for many people. There
is one thing that I have found peculiarly in common
about the responses of others to my being an athe-
ist. Almost everyone I tell who is of a different
religion, at least after some thought, will ask me
how I can live morally without religion.
My answer to this question: I live by my own
moral code. I believe there is something innate
in people that compel them to do the right thing.
The oright ? thing being set by his or her own
standard. That standard, of course, is influenced
by the cultural framework of society at that time.
Things that are oright ? for some are owrong ? for
others and vice versa.
Then the most important question becomes,
what is the right thing? Each life gives way to
different experiences and inherently different
thoughts about such life. Is there one moral code?
I do not think it is possible. For centuries philoso-
phers have tried to develop a unified moral code.
All of them have failed. :
It is only since meeting other people that share
my religious beliefs that I have been able to speak
more openly. A good friend of mine, who most
would denote as a ogoody two shoes, ? is also an
atheist. She told me the most common response
she receives after sharing this with-someone else
is, oBut you seem so good, I didn Tt think you could
be atheist! ?
What does this phrase mean? Is the consensus
really that because I do not believe in God that I
cannot be a good person? Phrases such as this
imply that atheists do not live by the same moral
code as others, or by none at all.
I have had similar experiences. Many people
have asked me, after learning my religious origins,
oWhy don Tt you do whatever you want because
you don Tt have to worry about going to hell? ? I do
the right thing (in my terms) because it makes me
feel like a beneficial member of society. If I wrong
someone, the guilt I feel makes me not want to
commit the same act again. It Ts not the fear of
going to hell because that fear does not exist for
an atheist.
I did not choose to have the mindset of,an
atheist. I Tm not sure why, at this moment, I feel
compelled to share my side of things. As I have
gotten older, I have made some new realizations
about myself and my life. A year ago I would never
have told someone new, at a university in the heart
of the Bible belt, that I did not believe in God.
Even today, I would have preferred this article run
anonymously.
I do not want to defend my religion against
that of another, as better or worse. Who am I to
say? But I do want to defend my character, as it is
often judged by misconceptions about my religious
preference. My desire was to write an article that
stated that morals exist without religion. Right
is right, but because you have determined it to be
right for you.

Shed apathy, gain power
SARAH CAMPBELL
EDITOR IN CHIEF
Imagine a society where the citizens have
no influence on the laws that govern their daily
lives.
One such society could easily become a reality
in America if the population continues to remain
politically apathetic.
Voting is a right that many people in this
country appear to view as a burden, rather than
a privilege. :
Taking the time to research political candidates
seems to some like too much work, when in fact it
is an essential part of the voting process. Forming
an educated political opinion grants citizens the
power to ignite change.
The people that are elected to represent us on the
local, state and national levels of government make
the decisions that affect our everyday lives from taxes
to healthcare and education to public safety.
Today, the City of Greenville will hold elections
in order to appoint City Council members, and fill
the positions of mayor, alderman and commissioner
seats. Less than a year from now (Nov. 4, 2008, to
be exact), people across the country will have the
opportunity to vote in the election that will deter-
mine the next President of the United States. .
Those who don Tt vote in these elections don Tt
have the right to gripe about the decisions that are
made, because they didn Tt take part in appointing
representatives.
If everyone lived by the philosophy, omy vote
doesn Tt make a difference ? then voting would
become obsolete and the idea of democracy would
cease to exist.
I urge you all to put aside the urge to purse
apathy and let your voice be heard by heading to
the polls to cast your vote.

Answer to oThat's It ?
YAZID FINN
OPINION WRITER
Come now, ECU, Religious Arguments 101 can
be summed up in a single word: context. In this
case, not a sentence, not a paragraph, but an entire
diatribe you took for fact. I had a great punch line
and twist lined up for last week Ts piece, but while it
may have been cut literally last second, I probably
got more of a response without it.
A professor of mine recalled the Sokal Hoax,
in which a prominent physicist submits a blatantly
false article to a scholarly journal. The essay is
obviously a farce in the field, combining Quantum
Mechanics with political implications, however
to his surprise, generates positive response. Only
after Sokal pointed out his own story was the
Emperor with no clothes did people realize they
had been taken for fools.
So let us recap last week, shall we? A writer
with a history of publications asserting why he
would never convert to Christianity has a radical
change of heart. He runs an essay filled to the brim
with fallacious "Christian rhetoric that anyone
with an entry college philosophy class under their
belt should have seen through in an instant.
Right off the bat, I play the mother of all logical
fallacies with good old begging the question. P T is
true, because, well, P T is true. We know the Bible
is true because it is the Word of God. We know
it is the Word of God because Jesus says so and
we know Jesus says this, because it is in the Bible,
which of course is true...Wait...What?
Next I pulled from the Evangelist playbook a
T false dichotomy. You either do this, or that. One
is presented with two options and told these are
the only options to choose from. This of course
is among the most elementary of argumentative
canards that I even went as far as to verbally elbow
you in on the joke by referencing its other name as
the oblack or white ? fallacy.
The article ended with something so overly
sarcastic even I threw up a little in my throat
glancing back over it. I will set the record straight
now and for future publications. I am content in my
beliefs and bluntly put, will not change. If you want
to know what they are, ask me. Seeing as satire is
not a strong point with some of our readers I will
attempt to throw out enough literary elbows that
at least one of them catch you in the side.
Oh and for the last time, no, I will not be
attending your ministry Ts service, however
lovely it may be. I already have religious obliga-
tions Sunday mornings that you simply could
not pay me to miss. Peace to everyone and |
really mean that.

The world runs
on Starbucks
Why the world hates Americans
ELISE PHILLIPS
FEATURES EDITOR
The world runs on Starbucks. Really. Not only
does this coffee shop spot the landscape of almost
every major city in the United States, Starbucks can
be found in Rome, London, Amsterdam, Beijing,
Tokyo, Sydney, Rio de Janeiro...and Baghdad.
Maybe it Ts because of the caffeine jolt that busi-
nessmen and women need on their commute to work
in the morning, or the energy kick that students
crave after an all-night study session. Or maybe
the world loves Starbucks because of its designer
label. Is the coffee really so good that the world Ts
population spends billions of dollars a year on the
product? Or is it the notion that carrying around
that iced latte or espresso in a neatly-packaged Star-
bucks-labeled cup brings some kind of notoriety or
power? Are you only cool if you carry something
from Starbucks? :
The taste or look of Starbucks coffee is not the
point of this article, but the fact remains that on
almost every corner, in almost every country across
the globe, there Ts a Starbucks. A beacon to caffeine-
deprived individuals in need of an energy fix.
What Ts interesting to me is the fact that the
U.S., in its occupation of overseas countries, has
been stationed in countries like Iraq. . which, guess
what, has a Starbucks. So while American soldiers,
Iraqi women and children, Iraqi soldiers and jour-
nalists are being killed in warfare, the backdrop is
a Starbucks coffee shop. A screaming American
advertisement disguised as a designer coffee chain.
At least that Ts what many Iraqi people feel.
The infusion of: American movies, TV shows,
stores, restaurants and other products into their
society is seen as a stripping of their own unique
culture. :
And Americans wonder why the rest of the
world hates us. It might be our policies that turn
them off to the U.S., but I think that the fact that
most of the world is overflowing with American
businesses ticks people (who are not Americans)
off, too. While most Americans don Tt give a second
thought to the fact that there Ts a Starbucks on
every corner, citizens of other countries do think
about it.
Here Ts something to think about: what if all
of a sudden the world was dominated by mostly
Chinese businesses? Is that a ridiculous thought?
They have more people than the U.S., and according
to Bill Gates, a bigger intelligence pool...so is it
crazy to think that Chinese culture could dominate
the world?
As Americans, we think that this could never
happen. And that Ts another reason why people in
other countries hate us. They see us as egocentric
and self-absorbed.
While many college students don Tt follow poli-
tics, they can understand the feeling of invasion that
these other areas feel.
They perceive America as a threat to their
cultural identity, their sense of self. And I can
understand that. We might be living in the most
powerful country in the world, but it might not be
like that for long.
In 1900, England was the most powerful coun-
try in the world. It had the best military, the best
schools and world domination, but not anymore.
What makes the U.S. think that we will stay in
power forever?
In the meantime, the world over runs on Star-
bucks. But there Ts no guarantee that it will last
for long.

Gary Harwell performed as a barber who returned home to find his wife dead and daughter the ward of a crooked judge with marriage in sight in Sweeney Tood last week.
during this time, ? said John Kramer, director of the ECU
opera and theatre department, who explained that Swee-
ney Todd is similar to the legend of Jack the Ripper.
Sweeney Todd, played by Gary Harwell, is a barber
who returns after exile to the penal colonies in Australia
and finds his wife dead and his daughter the ward of a
crooked judge who plans to wed her. Sweeney seeks his
revenge, his victims ending up as the main ingredient
in his landlady Ts meat pies.
According to Kramer, the musical Ts dark themes such
as murder, revenge and rape made some faculty mem- T
bers wary about putting Sweeney Todd on because they
believed the musical style was too far from opera.
Kramer explained that the music is as challenging
and at times even as difficult as any opera.
oThe timing is intricate, ? he said.

oThe singer is forced to keep up with the orchestra. ?
Kramer also said the music is the biggest difficulty
in Sweeney because it appears easy at first, but is actually
extremely challenging.
For this reason, the cast members were selected
according to their vocals range.
The cast was selected in May, although rehearsals
did not start until the beginning of the academic year.
Kramer said he had a tough group to choose from
because the current students were well developed
musically.

ing dish by selecting items from a list of traditional
breakfast foods.

_ Coffee creations or a freshly baked pastry, to go.
The lunch and dinner menus include a variety of
sandwiches and burgers ranging from $5.50 to $7.95,
soups, salads, paninis and an assortment of entrees.
T Among the lunch entrees, which all cost $9.95, are-
the shrimp & turf platter, the Florentine filet, the chicken
cacciatore and shrimp or chicken alfredo.
Customers can choose from 15 dinner entrees that
range in price from $11.95 for the sesame chicken lin-
guini, to $19.95 for a 12-ounce prime rib steak.

entrees that range in price from $4.25 to $7.75.
Appetizers range in price from $4.25 to $7.95 and

allows customers to choose from a variety of pastas, as
well as a veggie hoagie, pizza or wrap.
Although Shearin described many of the items on
the menu as omainstream, ? she also said that the menu
consists of odifferent tastes from different cultures. ?
oOur menu is what I call fusion T; it is a little bit
of every culture, because we have the Gyro Burger

play on Jimmy Eat World Ts
newest release, Chase This
Light, you are instantaneously
blown away by the opening
track and first single from the
album, oBig Casino. ? This song
serves as an. exclamation for the
band, confirming that Jimmy
Eat World has bigger and more
powerful hooks than Kareem
Abdul-Jabbar.
With the release of Chase
This Light, it is becoming evi-
dent that this band is showing
no signs of slowing down or
fading away.
Jimmy Eat World Ts most
recent release, Futures, signifi- -
cantly strayed away from the
band Ts previously established
optimistic sound by concen-
trating on the darker aspects
of life such as drugs, suicide
and heartbreak. Unable to
understand the sudden change,
Futures led to a considerable
amount of disappointment from _
a large majority of the Jimmy
Eat World fan base. Chase This
Light, however, re-releases -
Jimmy Eat World back into the
music world they helped create
and allows them to reclaim their
throne as the king of emo-pop.
When it comes to radio-
friendly anthems, this band
surely seems to know the secret
behind grabbing and keeping

Neos attention. Songs such as
oLet It Happen ? and oElectable ?
possess everything needed
to have your head completely,
submerged i in a pool of beguifs
ing melodies for hours on enda
However, there is a necessary
warning to issue before you,
attempt to listen to this album;
do not pick up this album and,
expect to hear the same kind, of,
bubblegum pop hits as Jimmy's
2001 breakthrough albums
Bleed American, the title ,of
which later changed to Jimmy,
Eat World. ;
Although this album has
its fair share of catchy pop,
the overall sound has grown °
tremendously, leaving the Bleeg,
American tracks looking occay
sionally juvenile, certainly, a
thing of the past.
Those who have closely
followed Jimmy Eat World Ts
career know that all of their,
previous albums have ended
on, for the most part, tracks,
that present a relatively somber
sound and usually share the
same lyrical nature. Over
the years, this has become, a
standard for the band and Js
regarded as necessity when
attempting to release a Jimmy,
Eat World record. Despite the,
similarities, the band has never
stated that this was for a Sper
cific purpose or was anything
more than coincidence. The
fans, however, tend to group
tiese songs together and com
pare them to one another.

Johnson etched his name into
records books Saturday with an
amazing individual performance
in the Pirates T 56-40 win over
Memphis. Johnson scored four
touchd dran for 301 rushing
yards, which ranks second in school
history behind Scott Harley's 351
against N.C. State in 1996. Johnson
also.added 95 yards on kick returns
and 12 receiving yards, which
pushed his all-purpose mark to 408,
a new ECU single-game record. His
final touchdown, a 50-yard run in
the fourth quarter, was the 38th of
his career, which is also a new ECU
record.
o| have great respect for Chris
Johnson, not because he can run a
42 or carry the ball 1,000 yards, but
because of the attitude that he has
_ had. So many times as a senior it is
easy to come in and coast through
trying not to get hurt but he hasn't
missed a beat. He comes into the
weight room after getting beat up on
Saturday and doesn Tt ask to get out
of anything. He has been a leader and
is one of the hardest working players
on the field. ?-Coach Skip Holtz on the
work ethic of Chris Johnson
Although ECU led most of the
game against Memphis, the opening
touchdown in the second half seemed to
put things away. On ECU Ts second play
from scrimmage, Chris Johnson blazed
by Memphis T defense for a 70-yard
touchdown run that made the score 28-
13 in the Pirates favor. The long score by
Johnson came less than a minute into
the second half and the Tigers never
got within one score of the lead again,
s ECU went on to win the offensive
shootout, 56-40.
oIt Ts always nice to win. You are
always grateful to get any win on the
toad this late in the season. We talked
about how we responded off a loss
against NC State, coming back and
playing one of our better games against
UAB. We then saw if we were mature
enough to handle going on the road
after a win. | was really proud of the way
we responded to the challenge. ?-ECU
football coach Skip Holtz
Johnson has record-
setting day
RONNIE WOODWARD
ASST. SPORTS EDITOR
Chris Johnson almost reached
Scott Harley status this past
weekend.
Johnson rushed for a career-
high 301 yards and four touch-
downs in the Pirates T 56-40 win
at Memphis.
His performance was the
second best rushing performance
in school history, 50 yards behind
Harley's 351-yard thrashing of
the N.C. State defense in the
Pirates T 50-29 win in 1996,
which is still idolized by numer-
ous Pirate fans today.
oChris Johnson continues to
be committed, determined and a
man on a mission right now, ? said
ECU coach Skip Holtz. oIt wasn Tt
a thing where he just wanted to
get out to a good start; he Ts really
committed to getting this thing
done and the goals that we have
as a football team right now.
oHe Ts tough, he has been
durable, he Ts physical and has
been running extremely hard and
making things happen. When
you give him the ball 20 times
and he rushes for 300 yards it Ts
hard to find something negative
about that. ?
Johnson, who is leading the
nation in all-purpose yards at
216.9 yards per game, also added
95 kick-return yards and 12
receiving yards to set anew ECU
(6-4, 5-1) single-game record
with 408 all-purpose yards.
The Pirates T explosive senior
running back also became ECU Ts
career leader in touchdowns (38)
with his 50-yard touchdown run
in the fourth quarter, which made
the score 56-32.

The volleyball team got
back-to-back wins for the first
time since late September over
the weekend with dominat-
ing wins over conference foes
UCF (9-20, 0-14) and Southern
Miss (10-20, 1-13), both by 3-0
counts.
With the two wins, the
Pirates (15-14, 6-8) are above
.500 for the first time since Ne
October.
The UCF Knights came to
town on Friday to begin the last
home weekend for the Pirates
this Season. And on senior night,
the lone honoree, Kelley Wer-
nert, didn Tt disappoint. Her 21
kills led the Pirates to a complete
dismantling of the visitors.
Game one saw the Pirates
Jump out to a 12-5 advantage,
forcing an early timeout call by
UCF. The visitors would pull
back to within five at.18-13, but
the Pirates came back with five
unanswered points to double
their lead. The Pirates continued
to pull away and increased the
margin to 12 by the end of the
game to'win, 30-18.
Game two brought more of
the same as the Pirates again
cruised early, picking up an early
10-2 lead behind the strong serve
of sophomore Peyton Thompson.
At one point they had doubled
UCF Ts score at 24-12 and would
go on to secure the game with a
final tally of 30-19.
At halftime, Wernert was
honored in a tearful ceremony

STAFF WRITER
The ECU women Ts soccer
team wrapped up its regular
season this weekend at home
against UAB and Memphis.
The Pirates finished the
season with a record of 9-4-5
overall, 3-3-3 in the conference.
ECU battled UAB on Friday
afternoon to a 0-0 final score.
The scoreless tie marked its
fourth of the year.
With the tie against UAB,
ECU earned a spot in the C-
USA conference championships,
which begins Tuesday in El
? Paso, Texas.
The tie also marked goal-
keeper Amber Campbell Ts tenth
shutout of the season.
ECU had 11 shots on the
day, three coming from fresh-
man Amanda Broz. :
The Pirates then faced
Memphis on Sunday afternoon
to try to defend their undefeated
record at home.
ECU Ts five seniors, Kris-
ten Allred, Jami Dickerson,
Anastasia Nikas, Kat Norris
and Patty Pierce, were hon-
ored at halftime in their final
home game of their respective
careers.
After a scoreless first half,
Memphis came out strong in
the second half and scored two
goals just two minutes apart.
oOur energy level was
good...I thought we battled, ?
said ECU coach Rob Don-
nenwirth. oT still think we can
do some things better on the
attack. I thought we made a bad
mistake on their second goal. ?
ECU struggled against co-
conference champion Memphis
and despite a late second half
run, fel] 2-1.
The team had an 8-1-1
record at Bunting Field this
season.
Donnenwirth knew that
Memphis was going to be a
tough team to beat.
oThey're a good team...they
don Tt give you a lot of time on
the ball at all, ? he said. oThey're
a very physical team and also
good skill-wise; one of the best
in the conference. It Ts no mis-
take they're co-champions. ?
ECU Ts lone goal was scored
with one minute remaining in
the contest by Bailey Wilcox,
on a pass from Jess Swanson.
The goal was the freshman Ts
second on the year.
Memphis out-shot ECU,
recording 10 shots and four
on goal, while ECU recorded
eight shots and five on goal,
_ respectively. :
oWe need to just clear our
minds and know that now we Tre
going into a situation where it Ts
a one game season, ? said Don-
nenwirth.
ECU will face top-seeded
UCF in the first game of the
conference championships
tomorrow at 2 Tp.m. The winner
advances to Friday's semifinal
game against the winner of the
No. 4 vs. No. 5 seed game.

VOLLEYBALL continued from A9
ing: Her list of program records
and, accomplishments speaks
for itself.
oShe will leave ECU as the
most successful offensive player
in school history. In addition
to the ECU career kills record
she obtained earlier this season,
shé also holds the top-11 single
gamne kill totals in program
history. She now ranks 16th
on-the all-time C-USA chart
for.career kills as well. She has
tallied an amazing 57 games
with double-digit kills out of
_ her last 61. Earning numerous
tournament accolades as well
as national player-of-the-week
honors earlier this season she
also leads the team in kills,
service aces, blocks and points
per game.
After the break the Pirates
kept the momentum they had
gained before the half. They
steamrolled to an easy 30-14
victory to sweep the match, 3-
0. Thompson added 10 kills to
Wernert Ts total and freshman
Katie Koop notched seven on
only eight attempts to add to
her.match-high 38 assists. The
Pirates were led defensively by
sophomores Hannah Fenker
and Stephanie Turner, who each
posted 13 digs. After the match,
coach Rushing was pleased
with his team Ts play, but it was
quite clear that he expected
nothing less.
oWe just played some good
solid volleyball, ? said Rush-
ing. oI think the two times we
played them this year I thought
that we were stronger, and I
think we played at our level.
Some of the losses we Tve had
this. year we have given up a lot
of easy points, and we didn Tt do
that tonight. ?
He was also full of praise for
his prized senior. When asked
about her contribution to the
team, Rushing had no trouble
stating her importance.
oShe Ts dominant, ? he said.
oWe're going to miss her a lot.
We're going to miss her as a
player and as a person. ?
Wernert was especially excited
to get a win on senior night.
oIt feels great, everything is
just perfect, ? said Wernert. oWe
all just made a team effort to get
it done quick, and it was fun. ?
With the emotions of Friday
night still evident, the Pirates
again took the court Sunday
afternoon with vengeance on
their minds against a Southern
Miss team that had defeated
them earlier in the season in
its only conference win of the
season.
The Pirates again domi-
nated from the outset. They
took an early advantage, 9-0,
behind the serve of Thompson.
Though S. Miss. did come back
to within five at 20-15, the
Pirates made a run of their own
to close out game one, 30-19.
Game two was much closer
than game one. With the scores
level at 22-22, it took a 5-O run
on the serve of Turner to push
the Pirates to a 30-23 win.
Game three saw S. Miss.
creep even closer to taking the
match to another game. With
the Pirates holding a six-point
lead and sitting on match point,
the Golden Eagles reeled off
four straight points. Flash-
backs of games the Pirates let
slip away earlier in the season
came to mind, but they showed
maturity, and on the fifth try
at match point ECU earned
the sweep.
Wernert again led the team
with 19 kills, Melissa Zent-
ner added 11 and Thompson
chipped in with nine. Koop
again piled on the assists with
a gaudy 41 and Fenker led the
defensive effort with ten digs,
while Trish Monroe added six
of her own.
ECU ends the regular
season next weekend with
matches, at UAB and Mem-
phis, respectively. Its regular
season record will determine
seeding for the conference
tournament, held Nov. 15-18
in Huntington, W. Va.
