Gas leak on 10th Street creates headaches
Quick response
alleviates damage
SARAH CAMPBELL
EDITOR IN CHIEF
On Wednesday at 9:20
a.m., Greenville emergency
officials responded to a call
for a punctured water line near
the intersection of Fox Haven
Drive and E. 10th Street. After
arriving on the scene just 10
minutes later, they learned that
the true cause for the call was
actually a gas leak.
oThey [a construction
crew] were drilling under
the road and they struck a
gas line, ? said Doug Branch,
Greenville Fire & Rescue
battalion chief.
Six units responded to the
scene. Upon arrival, rescue
workers evacuated several
local commercial businesses
in the immediate area and
blocked traffic on 10 Street.
Precautions were taken in
order to ensure the safety of
those in the vicinity.
At a roadblock set up at
the intersection of Brook
Valley subdivisions, drivers
commuting east on 10th
Street were re-routed. Those
heading West were cut off at
Portertown Road.
oIt Ts possible that a vehicle
could be an ignition source.
We also had to think about the
damage that the fumes could
cause, ? Branch said. .
Hehvew: BCU an ansist
system had to adjust their
route to University Manor.
due to the roadblocks.
oA call came in from our
bus driver saying that 10th
Street was blocked. We sent
out a supervisor to assess the
scene, and to figure out if we
would still be able to service
the area, ? said Wood Davidson,
interim director of transit.
Within 15 minutes of the

Art professor
earns award
Posters brings
attention to the School
of Art and Design
WHITNEY JENKINS
STAFF WRITER
Gunnar Swanson, ECU
graphic arts professor, has T
received an award of excellence
from the University & College
Designers Association for his
ECU School of Art and Design
student recruitment poster.
The purpose of the poster,
according to Swanson, is to
implement graphic design visu-
ally and present it in a way that
initiates discussion.
oAwards always recognize
an immediate aesthetic reac-
tion, ? Swanson said.
oGraphic design isn Tt
about being pretty and win-
ning awards, but to get
people discussing. Graphic
design is visual rhetoric. ?
The poster depicts a col-
lection of random but highly
stylized objects that include a
sheep, an open hand, a key, fish-
ing lures and a pair of snips.
Concerning the discussion
of his graphic. design poster,
Swanson said, oThere are a lot
of loaded symbols. How can
these symbols interact? ?
Form and image both have
meaning and should be taken
seriously by people, especially
those persons in the art and
graphic design area, according
to Swanson.
oThe images on the poster
are deliberately ambiguous but
far from random, T Swanson said.
oFor instance, the sheep
could be one in a series of lures
or goals featured "the fabled
Golden Fleece or the sheep-
rowly-defined disciplines, but
that Ts just me. ?
Swanson hopes that by people
discussing the meaning and
interpretation of his poster that ©
they will also be talking about
the School of Art and Design.
Otherwise, oI Tve failed, ?
Swanson said, regarding his
goal for stimulating discussion
about the poster design.
oWhen people say What
does that mean? T we know
it Ts working, ? said Michael
Drought, director of the
School of Art and Design.
oSo much graphic design |
is either so transparent or so
obscure that conscious con-
sideration of meaning seems
irrelevant, ? Drought said.
oWe'd like to create open-
ings for conversations about
how people in a university
talk and think about art and
design. ?
The student recruit-
ment poster was printed by
a team of ECU faculty and
students, using silkscreen
and letterpress techniques
that are used in art processes.
oWe chose art T reproduc-
tion techniques rather than
normal commercial printing
methods so the poster would
act as an exemplar as much as
advertising, ? Swanson said.
oBy creating a limited edi-
tion object, we hope the poster
will connect with issues of art
and value. ?
The student recruitment
poster is sent to various art
schools and allows people to
consider ECU.
It is also featured in Print
magazine's 2007 design awards,
currently on newsstands and
will appear in a special awards

Fortunately, the 80s proved
that rock & roll was capable of

RESTORE continue from Al
ReStore staff member.
Tasks included prepping,
sanding and painting the fur-
niture. In all, the volunteers
restored two rooms worth of _
furniture and set them up in
front of the ReStore.
While restoring the furni-
ture, the senior seminar class
shot a video of themselves
working that will be played in
the ReStore so that potential
purchasers of the revamped
items can see the effort that was
put into their restoration.
The video will also serve to
inspire the restoration of other
items in the store.
oThe money made is used
to take care of the overhead of
Habitat for Humanity, ? said Joe
Dunkleman, ReStore manager.

tions keep rolling in,

cation of Habitat for Human-:

enforcement to ensure that
they could continue to ser-
vice students who live in
the apartment complex.
An agreement was reached
that the bus would be able to
go inside the barricade, make
a three-point turn, and wait
at the intersection.
Transit authorities noti-
fied University Manor staff
that students would have
to walk from the complex
down to the intersection,
and requested that signs
be placed at bus stops to
announce the change.
oWe went out to the bus
stop and put up signs out at
both the front and the back
to let them [residents] know
that they would have to walk
to the light down at Brook
Valley, ? said Tuwanna Rouse,
University Manor leasing
manager.
According to previous
ridership data, about 150
students were likely affected
by the incident.
The incident was resolved
in two hours. The leak was
stopped by 10:10 a.m. and
the scene was cleared by
10:57 a.m.

WATER continued from Al
watering to a minimum.
Harrell noted how the campus
is always working to develop
their measures a step further.
oIn addition to low-flow
showerheads already in use
throughout the residence halls,
we're looking into expanding
the use of automatic sinks and
flush valves, ? Harrell said.
Recent rain has helped the sit-
uation throughout the Southeast,
and there are those who believe
owet periods ? such as these can be
used for water collection.
oRain water isa category of gray
water, or water that is undrinkable,
but useful for many needs such as
watering plants, washing buildings
and vehicles, ? said Scott Curtis,
professor of geography.
Curtis believes that droughts
can be predicted with greater
accuracy than hurricanes or
other storms and the University
should research water recycle
measures appropriately.
oFor the Southeast, drought
is related to the La Nina, or
cooling of the central to east-
ern Pacific, and during these
time periods, the jet stream
carries storms further north
than normal, leading to dry and
warm conditions, ? Curtis said.
Stream flow data of rivers
is useful in measuring the level
of how extreme a drought may
be for a region, which has been
recently seen in the Tar River.
oThe recent monthly stream
flows in Tarboro have never been
recorded lower over this 110 year
period, ? said Michael O TDriscoll,
professor of geological sciences.
Another option for owater
harvesting being studied is the
use of underground aquifers for
storage of water during periods
of higher stream flows.
oThe Aquifer Storage and
Recovery is a water resources
management approach that
seasonally takes water from
rivers when they have higher
stream flows and stores this
water in: underground aquifers, ?
O TDriscoll said.
Students are asked to report any
complications regarding the campus
facilities to work management.

Criticizing one of my own
MARGOT ROGERSON
OPINION WRITER
I must admit, when I read your article, oThat Ts
it, ? I knew there was something out of the ordi-
nary. It didn Tt sit right with me. I let it slide. I
read the replies of the enthusiastic Christians who
responded. They thought they had owon ? over
another.
Then I read your last article, and I cringed. I
had hoped it was not possible. My first response
was to scream, oHow could you? ?
As it is obvious from the article I wrote, which
was published the same day as your last, I am
not a Christian, and yet I would never go about
manipulating people in the manner that you did.
It offends me.
You quoted the Sokal Affair as your basis
for your little trick. Clever. But how about this:
religion, albeit different for everyone, is a topic of
which deliberate falsification is inappropriate.
I find your article completely condescending
and without merit. You speak of a diatribe as if you
are someone in the position of condemning others T
thoughts. Who do you think you are?
You rebuke them for their reaction when it was
you who insinuated it, as a game. Religion is not a
game to be played as one would roll dice. Regard-
less of your religion, which you chose to remain
nameless, one has liberty to pursue the one that
he or she wants.
I can appreciate sarcasm with the best of them.
I think it has a crucial place in the media. But in
subjects not as personal as one Ts own religion.
I understand you have your opinions. In reality,
I share a lot of your opinions. But it is not necessary
. for me to reproach the religious beliefs of another
person. Especially not as a game in a university
newspaper, read by more people that disagree with
you than agree.
Even if you disagree, let them decide for
themselves.

The art of
yoga
How yoga has transformed me
LISA ENSMINGER
OPINION WRITER
Living the life of a college student can be quite
stressful at times (or all the time), as many of you
would agree, and you just need time to relax. Now
I know vegging out on the couch in front of the TV
with a bag of chips is just a necessity sometimes
because our brains are constantly over-worked, but
yoga is the perfect activity to try when in need of
some deep relaxation. :
The art of yoga focuses on every aspect of
your body and healing it with finding your inner
self. You fall into deep relaxation before and after
the workout to really listen to your body and hear
what needs to be focused on. Not only does yoga
provide relaxation, your muscles become toned
and stretched, leaving you with a fantastic figure
and limber body.
The majority of you probably think yoga is a
non-challenging activity that probably would not
give you a good workout or help you lose weight,
but this is not true. I Tm sure if you pass a yoga ses-
sion at the gym and see these odd-looking poses
with the lights off, you think to yourselves, oWhat
are they doing in there? That is not much of a
workout at all. ? In fact, every time I leave a yoga
_ session, I am sore, relaxed and feeling satisfied
with my hour and half workout.
Most of the poses are quite challenging, but
there are all sorts of levels and variations of a
particular pose to make it easier or harder for the
participant. oDown-ward-facing dog ? is a signature
pose that works both the upper and lower parts
of the body, while stretching every muscle and
gaining strength by holding up the entire weight
of your body.
The variety of poses really focuses on the
positioning of your body, gaining of strength and
flexibility, and enhancing your posture by length-
ening your spine.
It takes time to really get involved with the art
of yoga. I was always afraid to try it out because it
looked difficult to me. I needed to find something
that distressed me and gave me an all-around good
workout because, honestly, running just doesn Tt cut
it for me. I decided to try it out. I Tm not going to lie,
it was kind of weird at first trying to listen to your
own body and really practice the breathing sensa-
tions, but it takes some getting used to feel that
yoga is normal. It also takes some time to really
find that deep relaxation and learn the different
poses to get the full effect and benefits of yoga.
Now that I have been intensely involved with
yoga, practicing it at least two times a week (if not
more), I have seen drastic improvements with my
flexibility and my body figure, Not only does yoga
noticeably tone your muscles, it allows you to really
find your inner self by focusing on the positive
things in life. It takes the bitterness out of your

The art of yoga is extremely beneficial to the
body as a whole, and I really feel it is looked down
- upon because people either are afraid or ashamed
of participating in it because it is unusual. If you
have had any desire to try yoga, I encourage you to
give it a chance; you may find that it is a positive,
transforming experience, as it was for me.

The smartest show on TV
How South Park continues to
With the positive response to this three-part |

GREG KATSKI
SPORTS EDITOR
oFamily Guy, ? Jennifer Lopez, Scientologists,
Al Gore, Mormons, Jews, Christians and now
Bono; nothing is sacred or safe from oSouth Park ?
creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone.
oSouth Park ? is unlike any show on television,
and continues to evolve in it Ts own unique, twisted
way. The show, which was created by a couple of
knuckleheads messing around with construction
paper cutouts, has become the pioneer of hilari-
ously controversial TV.
Do you really think that shows like oFamily
Guy ? and oRobot Chicken ? would be possible
without oSouth Park? ?
As long running as oSouth Park ? is, the one
complaint directed at Trey Parker and Matt Stone
over the past few seasons has been a heavy dose of
opreaching. ? For several seasons, this was a real
problem, and the show became weighed down with
the burden of its own smugness.
Thats, until Parker and Stone got in on the joke,
and realized they could poke fun at even themselves.
The true turning point in the series occurred when
Stone and Parker wrote up an ingenious series
about Eric Cartman going to Los Angeles to cancel
oFamily Guy ?. Throughout the episode, Kyle and
Stan commend oFamily Guy T for its irreverence and
because it is not too opreachy ? (nudge, nudge).
series, the creators got back to work on what they
do best - writing the most off-the-wall, politically
incorrect episodes they can think of; and boy do
they have some ideas.
This season has had plenty of highlights, from
Bono as literally the biggest crap in the world, to
terrorists attacking oour imagination. ? And who
can forget the classic episode where Cartman pre-
tends he has Tourette Ts syndrome so he can rip on
Jews, white trash and the like, and actually ends
up with the disease.
Herein lies the beauty of oSouth Park. ? Stone
and Parker can relentlessly poke fun at everything
we view as politically incorrect in the society we
live in, and still make it seem funny and true.
I don Tt necessarily agree with everything Stone
and Parker opreach ? about on their show, but that Ts
. not the point. The show is meant to be enjoyed with a
grain of salt and a cold beer, and anyone who thinks
otherwise needs to cool down a little bit.
I Tm sure there are those who worship the show
so much that they believe everything the show
opreaches, ? but I Tm sure Stone and Parker don Tt
intend for the show to be taken this way.
There is no other show on television that can
simultaneously make fun of terrorists, the U.S.
Government and military, Al Gore, Hollywood,
Kurt Russell, Strawberry Shortcake, the Care-
bears, Popeye and Leprechauns, and pull it off. Just
check out this season Ts three-part trilogy, oKyle
Sucks Cartman Ts Balls ? and you will understand.

Manners at
the movies
Do they even exist anymore?
J.D. LEWIS
OPINION WRITER
Saturday night, the wife and I went with
some friends to see 30 Days of Night, the new
movie about vampires terrorizing the town of
Barrow, Alaska, for ... 30 days of night.
I knew we were doomed as soon as I walked
in and saw about 20 other people in the theater.
You know what'l Tm talking about. We've all had
a movie ruined by at least one jerk that thinks he
or she is the only person in the theater. I knew
that in a crowd of 20 there had to be at least one.
I wasn Tt counting on 16. Unfortunately, that sort
of thing happens more and more these days. _
Children too often are brought to movies
they don Tt need to see. Surprisingly, no rugrats
turned out for 30 Days of Night, but how many
other times have we tried to enjoy a little sex
and violence while enduring a nearby child talk-
ing incessantly, kicking our seats, or crossing
in front of us every five minutes on their way to
and from the bathroom? It Ts really fun when a
kid behind you poops in their diaper and no one
has the decency to take them out. People with
children should stick to Disney movies or stay
at home and wait for the DVD.
I realize you can Tt really blame a child for
acting like a child, but adults who act like chil-
dren in the movie theater just need a punch in
the mouth. Why can Tt anyone 16 or older go to
the toilet by themselves? Every time one of the
gals in the last row got up to go Saturday, four
friends followed suit, stomping down the stairs
like a herd of Clydesdales. :
Cell phones are another annoyance. Perhaps
the only thing more irritating than the woman
two rows down gabbing all through the trailers
was the bozo directly in front of me constantly
flipping his phone open and shining that damn
blue light in my face. He apparently had opted to
go to the movies rather than attend a wake, but
someone at the funeral home was kind enough ©
to email him photos of the body in the casket,
which he had to look at over and over, and pass
around for the other members of his party to
gawk at too.
Don Tt you hate it when people decide to eat
their evening meal at the movies? The couple
behind us couldn Tt have had enough hands to
carry everything they bought at the concession
stand. I listened to crinkling wrappers and
rattling bags throughout the first half of the
picture. One of them must have been a messy
eater, for constant wiping with noisy, rough
paper napkins could be heard during most of
the second half.
One thing I failed to realize going in to 30
Days of Night was that it Ts a comedy. It must
be. Every time a vampire took another victim,
practically everyone who was guilty of any
of my aforementioned grievances hee-hawed
like a jackass. The more gruesome the killing,
the funnier it was. I fail to see the humor in
someone's throat being ripped out, but then
that Ts just me.
I Tve yelled out oShut up! ? once or twice in
a theater, and I Tve turned around and glared at
many a person who thought I enjoyed having
the back of my seat kicked; but remember that
episode of Seinfeld where George decided to do
the opposite of what his instincts told him to do?
A guy behind George in a theater kept bugging
him, so George turned around and basically
went postal on the guy to the delight of the
other patrons. Perhaps if more of us had George Ts
gumption, going to the movies would be a more
pleasant experience than it has become; and
better yet if more people used a little common
sense and self-control. If you engage in the sort
of activities I have described, just bear in mind
that no one paid $7.50 to watch you.

STAFF WRITER
Despite the growing econ-

taking over people in our coun-
try. Striking Americans of any
age group, ethnicity and back-
ground, this growing problem
is often kept silent among
others. Those suffering have
two things in common: they are
poor and without enough food.
There are many orgariizations
across the nation that strive to
help with this mounting crisis, .
and ECU is no exception. Some
students are taking action.
The Collective Association

According to Gill, poverty
and hunger are two of the
unnecessary epidemics of today.
Poverty is defined as an inabil-

nutritious food, clothing and
reasonable shelter. In a national

. Flag memorial
commemorates Native
American Heritage Month
ELISE PHILLIPS
FEATURES EDITOR
Small colored flags and
printed signs lined the Mall yes-
terday, commemorating the men,
women and children who walked
or passed away on the Trail of
Tears, which took place between
1830 and 1850. The memorial
was part of Native American
Heritage Month in November.
Each flag represented 100 people
who walked the Trail of Tears
and the white dots on the flags
represented 100 people who died
on the Trail of Tears.
The memorial included five
different Native American tribes:
the Cherokee nation (represented
by red flags), the Creek Nation
(represented by black flags), the
Choctaw nation (represented by
purple flags), the Chickasaw nation
(represented by blue flags) and the
Seminole nation (represented by
yellow flags).
Allen Stephenson, a Greenville, S.C. native, started his own polo-inspired clothing line, Southern Tide.
On a recent fall afternoon,
Stephenson alternately stood
and sat behind the desk as he
talked about how he Td come to
be there.
The Greenville, S.C., native,
son of a lawyer and a nurse,
developed a taste for the finer
things early.
At 6 years old, he wore
his first tuxedo to an uncle Ts
wedding. .When it came time
to return the rental suit, little
Allen asked his mother if he
could keep it.
oI thought that it was so
funny that a kid would want
a tuxedo, ? said his mother,
Dianne Stephenson. oHe just
loved it. ?
llen remembers looking.in
the mirror while wearing the
tux and feeling important.
oT Tve always known dressing
is everything, ? he said. oI mean,
if you're wearing a suit versus a
sweat suit, the man with the suit
is going to get a lot more respect
regardless of his attitude or
what his intentions really are. ?

At 7, he took apart his

The memorial represented the
almost 30,000 men, women and

In 1830, the ratification of the
Indian Removal Act took place, and
, approximately 100,000 American
Indians were forced to leave their
homes and move west of the Missis-

were transported in chains, while
others were treated brutally.
The display was put on by a
group within Campus Living, made
up of resident advisors, dorm coor-

oI wouldn't mean to [remem-

While in high school, he
sharpened his business skills
and earned money by cutting
lawns. With the help of friends
hired for $10 to $12 an hour,
Stephenson grew his venture to
dozens of lawns per week.
As a biology major at the
University of South Carolina,
he planned on following the
lead of his grandfather and the
four generations before him and
becoming a doctor. He Td build a
career around plastic surgery.
But he landed in Florence,
Italy, for five months in a study-
abroad program.
He hadn Tt planned on the
trip.
While in Italy, Stephenson
soaked up the experience. He
learned to speak a little of the
language. The country Ts culture |
and design enthralled him.
oThe Italians translated
their world into their designs,
from clothes to cars, ? Stephen-
son said.
His time away also gave him
fresh eyes.
By the time Stephenson .
returned to USC from Italy,
he Td begun thinking of ways to
reconcile his passion for design

The rise of social-network-
ing brings the convergence of
our personal life with your
ork life online.
People who participate on

Whether you're an entre-
ipreneur or an electrician, an

if you want to post a profile and

ips below to ensure your online

--Look for tools that allow
ou to restrict access to your

et your profile to private, as
well as all or a portion of your

ited profile T function lets you
ssentially create a profile that Ts
ess personal for certain friends,
hile still maintaining a more

--Limit the degree to which

to the ECU Gospel Choir. Throughout the years,
the choir has continued to grow in size.
Though it has been through a series of directors,
the group is now lead by directors senior Arturo Cum-
ming and graduate student Yolanda Henderson.
oThe purpose of the Gospel Choir is to
expose interested students to gospel music and T
its various styles as an art form, while promoting
the university throughout the state and region, ?
said Kiki Taylor, assistant secretary of the ECU
Gospel Choir.
oMembership is open to any students enrolled
at East Carolina University regardless of race, age,
creed, sex, disability or religious affiliation. ?
The ECU Gospel Choir hopes that attendance
will be high at this fall concert; they encourage
students to come out and hear music from a genre
that they might not hear on a regular basis.
oWe hope] to provide a night of enjoyment to
the campus and communities, ? Taylor said.
oThe Gospel Choir is definitely thrilled about
the concert and we are all in great expectation for
God to do some marvelous things. We all believe
that God will show up and show out in Wright
Auditorium. ?
Although the choir mall be performing most of
the concert, there will be two guest appearances
by two local musical groups.
The cost of the concert is $3 for students with
I.D. and $5 for the general public, and can be pur-
chased at the Central Ticket Office in Mendenhall
or at the door the night of the concert.
oFor those not planning to attend, you will be
missing out on a great night of praise and wor-
ship, ? Taylor said.

In the fall of his senior year,
a class project for a speech

He showed sketches, talked of

He packed up his dorm

Greenville that night.
For months, Stephenson
holed up in his boyhood bed-
room, working feverishly. He
deconstructed polo shirts,
studying every aspect from the
material to stitching. He taught
himself a computer graphics
program to design emblems
and logos inspired by icons
of his Southern heritage, like
fishing-lure hang tags
emblem to the brushed-cotton
interior and the amount of
thread used on the button.
He researched factories and
manufacturers. He paid for
prototypes, rejected some,
modified others and tweaked
his design constantly.
In March 2007, Southern
Tide launched its first shirt to
compete with other high-end
brands in upscale men Ts retail

like to expand this organization

Meagan Wallace, CAB-
IN Ts director of event plan-
ning, said that the group
gives her an opportunity to
work with other people and
organizations in order to
achieve a common goal.
oT joined because CABIN
is a great organization to be
a part of. Not only do you
get the opportunity to net-
work with various organiza-
tions and unite in hopes of
achieving something larger
than individual efforts would
allow, but it also allows you
to help those who are in
need. This provides a sense
of relief for those who aren Tt
able to provide the basic
necessities for themselves, ?
said Wallace.
CABIN also uses the
ancient proverb ogive a man
a fish and he eats for the day;
teach a man to fish and he is
fed for life, ? in gaining inspi-
ration to develop programs
that help people find jobs
and develop the necessary
skills it takes to survive in
the modern United States
economy. With this, the
oimmediate ? goal of CABIN,
according to Gill, is aimed
at helping victims of disas-
ters, such as hurricanes and
floods.
CABIN Ts director of
administration, Jarmichael
Harris sees the need for
campus organizations to
unite in efforts to help
others.
oI saw a need for stu-
dent organizations to work
together and CABIN has the
perfect solution of coming
together to help those who
are less fortunate than our-
selves. Every student orga-
nization has a community
outreach project, but there
are few that actually col-
laborate with several other °
organizations to accomplish
their goals, ? said Harris.
Harris also said that
CABIN uses the TEAM
concept-- otogether every-
one accomplishes more, ? in
efforts to work with others
toward a common objec-
tive.
Currently, CABIN is
working on collaborating
with different organiza-
tions on campus, includ-
ing Black Student Union,
Residence Hall Association,
East Carolina Physical Fit-
ness Association, Kappa
Delta Sorority, Fellowship
of Christian Athletes and the
East Carolina Association

New movie
has political
implications
(MCT) Actor and political
activist Robert Redford learned
a lifelong lesson when he was a
teenager.
oAt 18, I went to the Uni-
versity of Colorado. I was asked
to leave after a year. I went
to Europe to study art, ? said
Redford during an interview at
the Ritz-Carlton Hotel. oI was
living a very Bohemian life with
a lot of other students. They
would talk about politics all the
time. And I had nothing to say.
That Ts when I became deter-
mined to really read up about
my country so I would have an
answer for their questions. ?
He returned to the United
States after a few years abroad
a opessimistic optimist. ? He
knew that while the country
faced major problems, there
was potential for change. It just
meant getting involved. "
That Ts why Redford bal-
anced his pursuit of an acting
career, spawned by the art he
studied overseas and fueled by
the set design work he began
doing when he returned to the
United States, with an interest
in history, current events and
politics. He was determined
to live a life of learning and
being proactive when it came
to politics. :
That has continued for the
past 50 years. Redford has
fought for social causes such as
the environment and American
Indian rights. He founded the
Sundance Institute and Film
Festival, which helps small,
independent filmmakers and
has become a powerhouse in
getting films noticed.
In acting, his movies such
as All the President Ts Men, The
Candidate and Three Days of the
Condor were driven by strong
political messages.
Now, he Ts on the road to talk
about his new film, Lions for
Lambs, which represents Red-
ford Ts passion for politics. He
directed the movie and co-stars
with Tom Cruise and Meryl
Streep. The film looks at Amer-
ica Ts current war efforts in Iraq
and Afghanistan. But instead of
focusing on the gun battles and
big special effects, the movie is
about today Ts politics and how
_ they mirror the past. It has
MCT

Robert Redford is an actor in the upcoming movie Lions for Lambs.
lots of dialogue. Cruise plays
a Republican senator, Streep a
cable news reporter and Red-
ford a college professor.
Lions for Lambs reflects
Redford Ts belief that the Ameri-
can people are being failed by
the educational system, politi-
cians and media more inter-
ested in small matters such as
a celebrity Ts rehabilitation stay
than in bigger, important mat-
ters such as the war.
The film deals with the
current conflict, but Redford
doesn Tt want Lions for Lambs to
be lumped in with other recent
productions about the war, such
as Rendition, Kingdom or Home
of the Brave.
. oFirst of all, if it had just
been about the Iraq war, I
wouldn Tt have been as inter-
ested in it as other projects I
am developing. I knew there
would be a lot of films and
documentaries about the Iraq
war. That is a subject that is
well covered, ? Redford said. oIt
is far more interesting for me
to do a film that involves educa-
tion, the media and politics and
the military by having these
individual stories. ?
What caught Redford Ts eye
was that Lions for Lambs puts
education, politics and the
media under a blinding light.
The idea of the film is to dig into
these issues to find why such
conditions continue to emerge
at different times in history.
oIf you think about certain
events in my lifetime McCar-
thy, Watergate, Iran-Contra,
this war, if you look under-
neath it,.it is always the same
sensibility that creates these
conditions. Look at Nixon and
his henchmen and what they
did in Cambodia. Look at these
guys and their henchmen; it is
the same, ? Redford said.
Redford is certain he Tll be
hammered by some people in
politics and the media because
of Lions for Lambs.
_ oMy problem is that I love
this country. I wanted to make
this film because I am in mourn-
ing for my country. The film is
about frustration. It Ts about
sadness. It is about what we
have lost that we didn Tt have to
lose because we let this happen.
I accept the fact that there will .
be some controversy. The sad
thing is that some of the contro-
versy will be biased because our
country is so polarized right
now, it is horrible. Therefore,
there will be those people out
there who mischaracterize the
film. If you miss the point, it
would be easy to say this is a
left-wing story, ? he said.
But the actor isn Tt com-
plaining. He long ago accepted
othe fact that he Ts not going to
please everyone.
Redford only wants to make
people think.

Does a diet cause acne?
(MCT)Here Ts a question to
ponder: Why is acne common
in the Western, industrialized
world, while the pimples that
plague American kids are rare
in developing countries?
It Ts a puzzler and one that
prompted Australian research-
ers to ask whether changing the
diet of teenagers would have any
effect on acne.
The results could change
the way dermatologists think
about diet.
To test their theory, the
Australian researchers recruited
50 young men between the ages
of 15 and 25 with mild-to-
moderate acne. They split the
volunteers into two groups:
One group was instructed to T
eat a diet of lean meat, poultry
and fish, along with fruits and
vegetables. They replaced foods
such as white bread and highly
processed breakfast cereals
with whole grains. Meanwhile,
the other group ate a typical
Western diet.
After 12 weeks, research-
ers found that-the group eating
more protein and whole grains
experienced dramatic results,
according to the researchers.
oThe acne of the boys on the
higher-protein, low-glycemic
index diet improved dramati-
cally, by more than 50 percent,
which is more than what you
see with topical acne solutions, ?
wrote senior author Neil Mann,
an associate professor at the
Royal Melbourne Institute of
Technology in Australia.
The typical teenager Ts diet,
rich with things like doughnuts
and cheeseburgers, appears to
raise hormone levels, and surg-
ing hormones have long been
linked to acne.
oA diet high in processed
foods pushes glucose and insu-
lin levels higher, exacerbating
the problem, but low-glycemic
foods do the opposite, ? Mann
said. oThe mechanism and the
results are clear as day. ?
Although the study was
small and even the study Ts
authors agree that more research
is needed, Altamonte Springs,
Fla. dermatologist Jerri Johnson
thinks the study Ts authors may
be on to something even though
the web site for the Ameri-
can Academy of Dermatology
explicitly says there Ts no link
between diet and acne.
oIt Ts worth telling patients
about because it shows that diet
is important, ? said Johnson. oWe
do know that acne is a more
severe disease in Westerners ...
so there Ts got to be some con-
nection there. ?
oIndeed, ? said Dr. Barbara
Reed, a Denver dermatologist
and spokeswoman for the AAD.

oI happen to agree that our
diet is so full of fats and refined
sugar that it can Tt be so good for
us, probably in more ways than
Just causing acne. T
But Johnson also thinks
it Ts too soon to conclusively
link acne to diet. Dermatolo-
gists have long believed that
acne depends on many factors,
including heredity, hormonal
changes and use of greasy cos-
metics or creams.
oYears ago, we used to think
that chocolate and Cokes cause
acne, ? Johnson said, but the
dermatology community moved
away from that.
Today, patients with mild-
to-moderate acne are typically
given a retinoid such as Retin-A
and topical antibiotics. But John-
son usually advises her patients
to drink lots of water and avoid
greasy, high-fat foods.
oT think diet does play a role, ?
Johnson said, but she believes
some people inherit genes that
predispose them to acne.
Still, the more critical ques-
tion may be this: Will an Ameri-
can teenager give up junk food
in hopes of getting rid of acne?
oIt Ts possible, ? Johnson said.
oIt all depends on the kid. The
same kid who will use his topi-
cal medication every day would
probably be willing to stick to
the diet, ? she said.

JARED JACKSON
STAFF WRITER
With only two games left in the Skip Holtz termed osingle elimination tourna-
ment ?, ECU [6-4, 5-1] will pack its bags and head to Huntington, W.Va. to take on
the Marshall [-8, 1-4] Thundering Herd. :
The Pirates, who will forever be inked in Marshall history due to the much-profiled 3
1970 plane crash following an ECU victory in Greenville (in which Marshall's charter |
jet crashed on approach to Huntington Ts Tri-State Airport and claimed the lives of |F
i 70 passengers and five crew members), sport an overall series lead of 6-2 against the
Thundering Herd, winning four of the last five dating back to 1970.
This year Ts match-up features two polar opposites, as the Pirates come in looking
to boost their post season resume and continue their march to the conference title,
while Marshall is just looking to knock off a top-notch program and build momentum
heading into next year.
Even with a sub-par record, Holtz believes that Marshall is a very capable team of
knocking off his seemingly superior Pirate squad.
oWhen you look at Marshall, I think they are a much better football team than
their record indicates, ? said Holtz, who is 2-0 against the Thundering Herd during his
tenure at ECU, including a 33-20 win last year in Greenville.
oEveryone wanted to look at N.C. State and say they were a 1-5 football team, but |}
they were one of the better teams that came in here this season. [Marshall] scares me
because we are playing on the road and Marshall is an extremely tough place to play.
oJ don Tt quite know exactly what their record is at home, but when we went up there
two years ago, they were 108-5 at home. We need to look past that record and look at
the football team that we are going to play. ?
The football team the Pirates are squaring up with is a hungry, desperate squad.
oMarshall doesn Tt have the chance to go to a bowl game but they will motivate
themselves to play the role of spoiler against the number one team in the East [Divi-
sion]. Coach Snyder is an excellent football coach. ?
Marshall head coach Mark Snyder knows that the Pirates will be a stern challenge
» for his young football team but is just glad to get back for some home cooking.
oWe are excited to get back home and we are going to be playing a very good East
Carolina team, ? Snyder told Herdzone.com. oSkip (Holtz) has done very well down ff
there with that program. :
oT think they are getting better each and every week. I don Tt think there is any
H question about that and it Ts a mixture of things. Kass does one thing well and then
Pinkney does another. I tell you what, it really looks like Pinkney and Jehuson are
getting better each and every week. ? :
; The Thundering Herd Ts record is very misleading, as Holtz stated every conference
| game other than Marshall Ts blowout loss last week at the hands of UCF has been com-
i) petitive. Earlier this year they played with West Virginia well into the fourth quarter
} before finally being put away. Op
With that said, the Marshall offense will present a tough challenge to the ECU flat
defense, which is still a little banged up at a number of positions and contains a terrible
| secondary that ranks 115 in the nation out of 119 teams.
Marshall is averaging 400 yards per game, with 272 coming through the air, good
| enough for fourth in C-USA. On the flip side, the Thundering Herd features a 1m
| running attack that ranks 10th out of 12 teams.
Senior quarterback Bernard Morris has enjoyed a decent season so far, averaging 260 |aal
] passing yards a game, with 10 touchdowns on the year. His favorite target, sophomore ef
ight end Cody Slate, is having a stellar season, averaging 74 yards receiving a game
|| to go along with five touchdowns. :
Darius Passmore, certainly one of the best names for a wide receiver ever, compli- |
ments Slate in the Marshall pass attack, as he also has five touchdowns on the season
while averaging almost 70 receiving yards a game.
While Marshall on paper holds the advantage against the ECU defense, the: same
could be said for the Pirates T offense.
Coming into the contest Saturday, Marshall has been allowing nearly 37 points
per game and 465 yards, which sets up the game this weekend up as an old fashioned
C-USA shoot out.
oOn defense, their strength is their physical linebackers. I have been really impressed
with [Maurice] Kitchens and Josh Johnson, ? said Holtz. oAll of their linebackers are
about 250 pounds across the board and they run extremely fast. ?
| . With all the weapons that Marshall seems to have on both sides of the ball, Holtz
j offered the following assessment when asked wy he thought the Thundering Herd |y¥;
have struggled this season.
oWe have looked at some things on film and all I see is them playing toe-to-toe |
j with everyone on their schedule, ? said Holtz. oOne of their biggest problems right now
is their turnovers. They are -14 in the turnover battle and have only gained five.
oWhen you watch their film and evaluate them athletically, they are not a 1-8 foot-
ball team. If you fall into the trap of only looking at their record, you will leave with ff
| your foot sticking out of your ear. I am concerned about this game. T
One area that has concerned Holtz all season is without a doubt the Pirates T terrible
} pass defense. Last week against Memphis, ECU gave up 416 yards through the air and
| allowed two Tigers T receivers to finish the day with over a 100 yards receiving.
oYou have ten guys that are doing what they are supposed to; staying square, jam-

Revenge 1s sweet for road-warrior Pirates
ECU club ice hockey -
team No. 5 in South
KELLEN HOLTZMAN
STAFF WRITER
Avenging past losses is
becoming a habit for the ECU
ice hockey team this season.
Earlier this season, ECU
beat Appalachian State, who
knocked the Pirates out of
last year Ts Blue Ridge Hockey
Conference Tournament, and
two weeks ago ECU picked
up it Ts first-ever win against
rival N.C. State in convincing
fashion.
The Pirates T revenge tour
made a stop in Maryland
over the weekend, with ECU
destroying Johns Hopkins
11-0 before outpacing the
Greyhounds of Loyola (Md)
12-8. Loyola defeated ECU
twice last year, including an
overtime shootout victory in
the [ACHA] South Regionals
that ended the Pirates T hope for
a bid to. nationals.
ECU expected a tough
game from Johns Hopkins, but
the Pirates T depth managed to
wear down an under-manned
Blue Jays squad.
oIt Ts really hard to know
what these teams are going
to bring this year, ? said Coach
Wayne Cox. oWe thought
Johns Hopkins was going to
have a strong hockey team.
We've got more-horses than
we've ever had so I think we
feel good where we are. The
key for us is to play to our ©
level. ? A strong opening period
by ECU buried the Blue Jays
in a hole too deep to climb out
of. The Pirates hung five goals
on Johns Hopkins in a span of
10 minutes. :
Freshman Nick Dinardo
scored ECU Ts lone goal of the
second period to extend the
lead to 7-0.
ECU added five more goals
in the final period to complete
the rout.
Nathan Buhr, Dono-
van Dean, and Sean Burns
accounted for six Pirate goals,
with each finding the net
twice.
Goaltender Brent Falcon
went the distance for ECU and
recorded his first shutout of
the season.
oIt was hard to stick to our
system, ? said Falcon of the
lopsided match. oIt Ts so easy
to just get out there and run
through the team. We had a

few problems early on trying
to stick to the system and move
the puck well.
_ oIt Ts easy to get excited and
Just run your stats up, but we
played a great game all around
and obviously getting the shut-
out is always good. ?
More importantly than the
revenge factor, the Loyola game
was also crucial for points in
the [ACHA] South rankings,
which were released Oct. 28.
The Pirates debuted at No. 5,
the highest ranking in their
short history. ECU is preceded

Richmond; Loyola earned the
No. 10 position.
ECU headed into the third
period with a 7-6 lead on Loyola,
behind two goals apiece from

continued from B3
8-7 at the 15:19 mark. Burns
answered four minutes later
with another goal and then
assisted on a Joe Colatuno goal
to stretch the lead to 10-7.
The Greyhounds continued
to hang around, again narrow-
ing the deficit to two, but goals
in the final minutes from senior
Corey Fleitz and sophomore
Chris Cesario put the game on
ice for the Pirates.
The first period was a back-
and-forth affair, with Loyola
snatching the lead three differ-
ent times before ECU leveled
the game at 4-4 before inter-
mission.
The: Greyhounds pounced
on the Pirates again at the start
of the second period before
Duehring, Lang, and freshman
Ryan Konchalski reeled off
three straight goals to make it
a 7-5 ECU advantage. Loyola
scored in the final minute of the
second to lessen the Pirate lead
to one goal.
ECU Ts Matt Dalgetty col-
lected T32'saves while playing a full
60 minutes between the pipes.
oThat was a big game for us
mentally and emotionally, ? said
Fleitz. oWe came out strong.
We've got Richmond next week
so that will prove where we
_really are after the semester. ?
ECU will return to the ice
in Richmond on Nov. 16 and 17
to face the No. 4 Spiders, as well
as Virginia Commonwealth. .
Although it is relatively
early in the season, moving up
a spot in the rankings is crucial,
as only the top-4 ranked-teams
from the South Region advance
to the ACHA Nationals after
the conclusion of regionals.
Currently, winning the region-
als does not guarantee a spot
in thé nationals. And with an
away date in January with No.
1-ranked Georgia waiting, next
weekend becomes even more
important.
