ECU transit bus driver loses consciousness at wheel

Causes downed power

lines and grass fires

DAVID WILDER
STAFF WRITER

On Feb. 7, an ECU student
driver lost consciousness at
the wheel of an ECU Transit
bio-diesel bus, launching it into
oncoming traffic on 10th Street
between Charles Boulevard and
Evans Street.

A passenger attempted to
maintain control of the steer-
ing wheel after the driver,
Nathen James Rennels, lost

control of the bus.

The bus crashed into multiple
cars, damaged two traffic utility
boxes, leveled power lines (light-
ing a set of grass fires) and hit
four utility poles before slowing
to a stop on the opposite sidewalk,
according to The Daily Reflector.

Although the wreck caused
massive damage and required an
extensive cleanup effort, only four
people endured minor injuries.

Rennels and two passen-
gers were taken to Pitt County
Memorial Hospital, and were
later released.

According to The Daily Reflec-
tor, the bus hit 10 vehicles between

Charles and.Evans Street before
stopping on the sidewalk adjacent

~to Starbucks. The bus struck a

sports utility vehicle in Starbucks
parking lot.

After crossing Evans Street,
the bus downed utility poles,
knocking down traffic signals
and stopping in front of Scotts
Cleaners.

Scotts Cleaners store
employee, Nancy Dunn, saw the
last half of the accident.

We saw it when it was
coming from the Starbucks
parking lot,� Dunn said.

It was headed right for us at

really going to get.it because the
bus was going really fast.�

The accident and traffic con-
gestion affected the business at
Scotts Cleaning for the majority
of the day, Dunn said.

I. saw the driver stretched
out over the steering wheel and
I thought he was really badly
hurt. I am glad those people
are okay.�

Motorists En route to the
intersection of Charles and Evans
Street were affected by the acci-
dent for most of the day.

~rhe. accident -hap-
pened around 10 oclock [in

that time. We thought we were

the morning], and the traf-

fic was obstructed up until
about 10 o'clock at night,

said Major Frank Knight of
the ECU police department.

For the first couple of hours,
the ECU Police Department
assisted Greenville with some
traffic control.�

The ECU Police Department
also gathered insurance informa-
tion for the Greenville Police
Department, Knight said.

Although the damage caused
by the accident was immense,
electrical service was unaltered.

KIMBERLY BELLAMY
NEWS EDITOR

The SGA House of Orga- :

nizations discussed their capa-
bilities within SGA and voted
on two leadership positions at
their third meeting since the
reconstruction of congress.
The SGA congress was
divided into a House of Student
Organizations, an Undergraduate
Student Senate and Graduate Stu-
dent Senate to create better rep-
resentation of the student body.
The speaker that was presid-

ing over the House of Student:

Organizations, Ashley Yopp,
passed on the torch to new lead-
ership after members nominated
and voted on a speaker to fill
her shoes.

~Two nominees were chosen.. )

by the members for speaker of
the house and were then given
five minutes to express why they
should hold the position.

After the members got to
hear each nominee's claims,
secret ballots were cast to deter-
mine the winner. 3

There was only one accepted

nomination, for the position as

Tom Meutsch was voted
speaker of the house while Ann-

Gelle Carter was voted speaker

pro tempore. |
Both of the winners expressed

similar goals for the House of
Organizations.

Improving the communica-
tion with the student body is a
priority for the house, according
to Acarier.

My overall goal is to repre-
sent the student organizations
on campus in the best way pos-
sible, restore the beliefin student
government and build commu-
nication with the student body,�
Meutsch said.

Yopp will assume her
role as speaker of the Under-
graduate Student Senate,
but is pleased with the mem-

bers chosen for the positions. g

Im excited to see such pas-§
sionate leadership come forms
the House of Organizations,�

Yopp said.

I have no doubt that they
will continue to ensure students

voices on campus.�

Even though new leadership
has been chosen, direction is still
needed about what the members
will be allowed to do.

Some members of the orga-
nization expressed interest in
gaining legislative power, but the
Undergraduate Student Senate
holds all the power.

There is a way for the House of
Organizations to gain legislative
power but it isnt possible with-
out the help of the student body.

You can ask the student
body, all 26,000 of them if you
can have those same powers,

The ECU Office of Greek Life
held its Greek Standards Week,�
from Feb. 4 through Feb. 9.

The event was designed to
teach members of Greek organi-
zations about the responsibilities
and benefits of membership.

Greek Standards Week
replaced our Greek Leadership
Conference that the office of
Greek life has put on the past
two years, said Keith Tingley,
assistant director of Greek life.

This year we did it'a little dif-
ferently and had different topics each
night to educate our members.�

The event was designed to
accommodate leadership from
various Greek groups.

Each night had a different
topic, which was designated for
different officers in the chapter,
Tingley said.

A forum was held Saturday
night, featuring guest speakers
to educate each organization's

_members, according to Tingley.

It was very well-attended,�
said Kay Christian, associate
director of Greek life.

Christian is advisor to the
Pan-Hellenic Council and spoke

to its members during the Risk

Management session on Feb. 4.
The Risk Management ses-
sion informed students about the

importance of their-national pol- .

icies, according to Christian.

was stressed during the meeting.

The last thing that we would.

ever want to happen would be a

The sessions included a new
member meeting, a discussion
with organization presidents
and a ~service learning and phi-
lanthropy session.

A Scholarship Development
and Education Programming
session was held Feb 6.

I discussed the importance
of being registered with the

The week also provided members with the chance to gain an under-
standing of other Greek organizations goals and accomplishments.
It was a really good opportunity to see what the other organiza-

_ tions are doing,� said Adam Agee, Interfraternity Council delegate

for Sigma Pi.

The members that attended had the opportunity to gain informa- -
tion and share it with fellow members. |

Their job is to go back and educate their chapter,� Christian said.

About 350 students participated throughout last week and about
250 attended Saturdays forum, according to Tingley.

At least one member from each organization came to each ses-

sion, according to Christian.

All of the 32 Greek organizations recognized by the office of
Greek life participated in the week,� Tingley said.

ECU Relay for Lite looking
o gather additional support

| "
FOR LIFE

Teams still registering
with two months until
event

YAZID FINN
STAFF WRITER

PEW as gathering support.

from both online and non-
Internet resources for the first
upcoming Relay for Life.

The relay is a collaborative
event between Colleges Against
Cancer and the campus very

-own SGA in partnership with

the American Cancer Society.

Currently, ECU has 59 reg-
istered student teams, and the
university as a whole is ranked
fifth in the nation in terms of
online fundraising.

We really want to get the
student body excited and involved
on teams,� said Val Englert,
event co-chair for growth.

Student involvement is
being encouraged through vari-
ous methods of persuasion.

We have incentives such as

_ T-shirts for teams that register

in advance and a lot of cool
activities planned for the day

of, including decorating their
tents, Englert said.

A faculty and staff kick-off
event was held Feb. 7 in the
Mendenhall Student Center.

The purpose of the event
was to further spread the mes-
sage of Relay for Life and gather

additional teams and volunteers.

There is no deadline to reg-
ister teams,� said Krista L. Wil-
helm, assistant director for the
ECU Center for Student Lead-
ership & Civic Engagement.

We would like teams to
form now so they may begin
fundraising, and I believe our
goal will be attained by the day
of the event.� 7

The sky is the limit when
it comes to student organiza-
tions and teams planning their
fundraising strategies.

Each group is in charge
of their own fundraising,� said
Demi-Anna Martinez, a repre-
sentative for Relay for Life.

T have heard of car washes,
bake sales as well as holiday-
themed activities including
Valentines Day.�

During the event day,
awards and prizes will be issued

for a variety of reasons, accord-
ing to Wilhelm.

One member of each team
must be on the track the
entire time the team takes
part in the relay and various
activities will take place to
keep participants engaged.

I could see themed laps at
the top of each hour, like a 80s
theme at two in the morning,�
Wilhelm said.

This is the first time ECU
has joined in Relay for Life and
we hope students understand
how great of a cause they are
sharing in.�

ECU is scheduled to par-
ticipate in their Relay for Life
on April 4 and 5.

For more information about
signing up your team or volun-
teering, direct e-mails to the
student event chair at ecurelay@
ecu.edu or visit events.cancer.
org/rflecu to receive a packet.

; HOUSE seeinidd from Al

Yopp said.

Those powers could be
given to the House of Organiza-
tions if the student body votes in
favor of the idea if an election.
_ Corey King, assistant vice
chancellor for student experi-
ences, reminded the organiza-
tion that they chose the plan to
restructure the organization in
which they wouldn't be granted
these powers.

After discussing the pos-
sibility of the group having

legislative power, a motion was

called to vote on having an elec-
tion but it failed.

Following the discussion |

of the House of Organizations
powers, Peter Romary, director
of Student Legal Services, pre-
sented two topics to the members
and asked for their assistance..

Romary discussed the cre-
ation of a Mediation and Risk
Management Center in which
students can become mediators
and receive training to handle
different types of disputes. °
_ This initiative will be effec-
tive as soon as the first batch of
students decide to participate,
according to Romary.

The second thing that
Romary asked students to become
involved in was his appointment

_as an honorary consul for the

Republic of Namibia.

Im asking you to do some-
thing thats a huge philan-
thropic gesture, Romary said.

To find out more about
these programs, you can email
Romary. To find out more about
SGA you can visit the Web site

Is there something about
chocolate?

MICHAEL MCANDREW
STAFF WRITER

Valentines Day is almost upon us,
and with it comes the never-ending
question of what to buy in order.
to win the affection of those one
loves most. One of the most popular
purchases is candy in the form of

Chocolate has been proven to raise levels of certain ~happy chemicals in the brain.

chocolate, a favorite among women
in particular.

What is it about chocolate that
makes people so crazy on the four-
teenth of February? Is chocolate
really an aphrodisiac, as popular cul-
ture suggests? And what is the cor-

relation, if any, between Valentines

Day and chocolate?
Modern Valentines Day is cel-

ebrated by lovers and friends alike,

who exchange boxes of chocolate, sen-
timental cards and little candy hearts

an

with clichéd sentiments as tokens of
mutual affection.

Casanova reportedly consumed
chocolate to boost his endurance
before seducing his conquests.

Thousands of years, ago Aztecs
and Mayans discovered the cocoa
bean and in turn ascribed aphrodi-
siac qualities to it. Aztec emperor,
Montezuma, is said to have consumed
nearly 50 goblets of chocolate each
day in order to fuel his sexual ren-
dezvous.

Montezuma introduced Spanish
explorer, Cortez, to chocolate who in
turn took the cocoa beans back to his
native country in an attempt to keep its
libido-heightening powers a secret.

However, the power of chocolate
didnt remain a secret for long after
monks began to cultivate it by creat-
ing plantations.

The Spanish were one of the first
cultures to add sweeteners to the cocoa
beans and create what we now consider
chocolate.

Today choc-
olate remains
one of the most
frequently pur-
chased gifts.
According to
the Chocolate
Manufacturers
Association and
National Con-
fectioners Asso-
ciation, more
than 36 million
heart-shaped
boxes of choco-
late are sold for
Valentine's Day

So is choc-
olate a sexual
aphrodisiac?

According to
a study found in
the 2005 issue
of the Journal of
Sexual Medicine
and conducted
by the Univer-
sity of Milan
in Italy, women
who consume
chocolate on a
daily basis have ©
increased
sexual appetite

compared to those who don't.
Since the study relied on self-
reports from 163 Italian women, it

is questionable as to whether the
effects are actually physical or psy-

chological.

The mood enhancers found in the
ingredient phenylethylamine are know
to act a love chemical by increasing
serotonin. This increase causes rapid
mood change, a rise in blood pressure
and an increase in heart rate, inducing
those feelings of well-being, border-
ing on the euphoria usually associated
with being in love.

Although calling chocolate an
aphrodisiac may be a stretch, it does
heighten chemical levels in the brain
and gives consumers an energy
boost.

So this V-Day, reach for the Her-
sheys and spread the love around.

JUNO continued from A4

oncoming tide of her classmates,
demonstrating her willingness
to break social norms. The
root of Junos teenage rebellion
is left ambiguous, though the
character expresses her skepti-
cism over the perceived stability
of interpersonal relationships
many times by commenting how
her mother left her father years
ago and now has a new spouse
and ~replacement children.
Several instances in the film
also make reference to Juno
being prescribed to a variety of
behavior-modification medica-
tions, including a reference to
an unseen episode involving a
mall fountain. It is this atypical
outlook which leads the more

experienced Juno into the arms:

of the virginal Paulie, who has
been in love with her for quite
some time. Junos reasons for
initiating the encounter fluc-

tuate between her being bored
that night and being in love
with Paulie. Likewise, Junos
decision to carry her baby to
term is viewed with wariness by
her family, as well as by the par-
ents of her unborn child. Paulie
and her friend Leah view. her
decision as irregular, but not as
anything really unusual, acom-
mentary of how commonplace

unplanned teenage pregnancy

has become in our culture.
The ensemble cast buoys the
film to another plateau. Ellen
Page has received a nomination
for Best Actress� at this years
Academy Awards, following in
the tradition of young women
being nominated for creating
exceptional roles in which their
characters act with a worldview
that does not belie their youth
(Linda Blair in The Exorcist,
Tatum O'Neal in Paper Moon).

Michael Cera performs ably as
always, delivering the role as a
quiet, awkward young man who
is repeatedly a victim to circum-
stances beyond his control and
understanding. Junos father,
played by J.K. Simmons (HBOs
Oz, Spider-Man) steals every
scene with genial aplomb.

Juno isnt really a family
film or a date movie. Like the
characters themselves, the film
cannot be so easily pigeonholed
into a quick and easy descrip-
tive. Juno is a film about people
with realistic, complex relation-
ships, in which not everyone
ends up happy in the end. At
times it can be hilarious and
heartbreaking, often in the
same breath. Do yourself a favor
and check it out.

JOHNSON continued from A4

Johnson is a folk-style singer, songwriter,
filmmaker and surfer. from Hawaii. Originally,
Johnson was a professional surfer until a surfing
accident at the Banzai Pipeline cost him his front
teeth and 150 stitches. After the accident Johnson
pursued a degree in film from the University of
California at Santa Barbara. During his time as a
student there, he decided to begin dedicating all
his time and passion to making music.

In 2001, Johnson released his first major
studio effort, Brushfire. Fairytales, that was
received with substantial acclaim from critics.
After the release of his first effort, he garnered
the creation of a loyal and receptive fan base.
Since his first release he has released four other
major label studio albums and a load of EPs'and

strictly to-Internet releases. Brushfire Fairytales, "

though, signified the start of a lucrative and

but sadly lacks some of the pizzazz that his last
albums have been loaded with. Although it offers
an enormous array of musical range, it lacks the
consistency that made all of his last albums so
compelling and masterful. It by no means is the
nail in the coffin for the career of Johnson, but
it does without a doubt disappoint in certain
aspects. '

In retrospect, Johnsons new album is moving
and graceful. Songs like Angel� have the abil-
ity to churn your gut and make your heart drop.
Other songs like Enemy� seem a bit sophomoric
for the abijity of Johnson. In the end, Sleep
Through Static is worthy of a listening, but dont
expect the same emotion-clinching album that
Johnson has made in the past.

One contracted HIV will-

by a blood transfusion when

found out by chance for the
first time that she was infected

Students need
to chill out

Leave your worries behind

LARA OLIVER
OPINION WRITER

Pirate Rants about people stealing other peo-
ples boyfriends, roommates yelling at each other
over cell phones in between classes about who
left the milk out, passive-aggressive comments
towards teachers over disagreements on politics,
angry driving leading to torn up cars (and in some
cases) people ... Its time we chilled out, guys.

These are the best years of our lives, and we'll
never see them again. Its a time period for finding
out who we are, what we want to do with our lives
and who we want to spend them with. These years

should be filled with excitement, care-free weekends ©

and learning (when we get around to it). Why do
we spend this time, when our bodies and minds are
in their prime, just yelling at each other? Yelling
about a sandwich being made incorrectly, yelling
about how you disagree over whether SUVs are evil,
yelling over how some skank� stole your man. Its
just a whole lot of yelling about nothing.

We can't even have friendships anymore without
feeling that some source of drama or sadness has to
fuel everything. Girls attack each other on Facebook
walls to show who's Alpha-Female; boys fight strang-
ers in bars to show off to all their friends. Is this really
getting us anywhere? Is all this anger and violence
really making anyone happy in the long run?

Sure, school may take a toll on us, and that
fight we had with our significant other may still be
weighing on our minds for the rest of the weekend,
but something we all need to realize is that this
stress won't last forever. That algebra test won't
make you a worse person if you get a D instead of

a.B. Your best friend will probably forgive you after -

you had a fight with her about who was going to be
the designated driver this weekend. Your professor
will listen to you if you have a problem in class and
will try to help you work around it. So why let it
sour you and make the rest of your day worse?
We need to stop letting this stress get a
stranglehold on us and realize that its just a part
of life. Stress is going to happen, but we need to
learn to deal with it rationally. Yelling at your
boyfriend just makes him angry and your throat
sore. Calling your best friend cruel names isnt
going to make her like you any better, and its not
going to make you more popular. Being a jerk to

the professor is just a more difficult way to make |

a bad grade than not showing up. So why not just
take a minute to calm down and talk to the people

just like you, and probably have just as much stress
in their life as you do in yours.

So while everybody else is busy yelling, I think

How | learned to do nothing but g0
to class"

YAZID FINN
OPINION WRITER

Continuing in this series I have taken upon
myself to spread to the masses, I will expand upon
issues presented in last weeks episode. To begin, I
made the promise of revealing this election season's
antagonist, and to some it may come as no surprise.
None other than M. Cole Jones still occupies the
walls of Mendenhall Student Center in spirit. From
his throne in one of the many rooms now long
forgotten in MSC, his hand and endorsement have
already been thrown into the ring. To whom, how-
ever, will remain a secret-until the night of filing
following our return from spring break

Some questioned how exactly they could pos-
sibly get their foot in the door when the door to the
metaphorical SGA building so rarely opens. Just
like national government, unless someone becomes
afflicted with some form of mental illness or dies,
seats seldam open. Nonetheless, there is hope for
those looking to engage themselves and begin on a
journey through their own collegic test of endurance.
The first step is through the legislative branch, which
only recently restructured itself and is now more user
friendly. Get a seat while they're hot, as in a few weeks
you will be out of luck till next semester.

If you do not have the credits or politics is not
your cup of tea, there are multiple other venues
available for students to still get involved and
make a difference. The Student Union program
available for ECU students provides individuals
with the opportunity to voice themselves through
arts or music, while entertaining thousands of
their peers every year. Events as seemingly simple,
as movies aired in Hendrix Theater are carefully
tailored in hopes of reaching the general tastes of
the campus. Think you can do better? Prove it and
join the committees that direct these programs.

This is the final editorial in this trilogy, as next
week I will faithfully return to my normal routine.
These articles were not for naught, as they have already
served their purpose in attracting the attention of those
I set out to reach. If you suddenly feel inspired and have
the time to invest into the campus as well, then please,
by all means, do so. You will be setting yourself apart
from those in our society who have forgotten the phrase

long-term gratification� and prove there are still a
handful of altruistic people in the world.

was some discussion about my crush
on an ECU dancer. No, its not the
tall blonde!

Avril Lavigne may like skater boys,

_ but to the rest of us, skateboards are

toys ... for kids.
Are we too good of friends to become
something more?

The walls in the dorms are notas thick
as you may think, sweetheart.

She asked me if she should worry that

| wish the guys who live across from

| Know | have a boyfriend, but | dont
want him, | want you.

My roommate isnt in the room that
often, but when he is, hes having sex
with his girlfriend while Im less then

not watching?

Yeah, | drive by your house to see if
the light is on. So what?

roaches; they came and exterminated.
Then it was worms in the shower; they

they had to come catch them. NOW
ITS BATS!!! WHAT THE HECK

AM | PAYING THOUSANDS OF
DOLLARS TO STAY HERE?

Project Management is ridiculous.

Doppelganger ... there, | said it.

You know, just as many boys wear

outwards.

! want to ravish you. After hours. In

Its been one entire year since Ive
been on a date, mainly because |
refuse to date guys that are only

because there isa SEVERE shortage
of genuinely decent males at ECU ...
at least in any of my classes/social

So, | saw my so-called best friend

she didn't invite me to her birthday this

How about you stop telling people

You haven't been a good friend, |

| am FINALLY over you and it feels

It amazes me that people think their

There are too many people in the

Dont spend a fortune on me; just let
me know you are thinking of me.

Is it weird that | like to go home now

that | am in college.

Dude, its not very classy for us to hear
you and your girlfriend screaming
during sex.

getting freaky with a vacuum.

My roommate goes to the tanning
bed so much, we all have to wear
sunglasses to protect us from his
radioactive glow.

Okay ... I'm writing a Pirate Rant while

Bull Riding), and the first thing that

Ribbon.

It is not fair when your history teacher
plays a practical joke on the whole
Class and makes you have a heart
attack at the same time.

The bus crash yesterday was a
perfect metaphor for the universitys
administration in recent history. The
person at the wheel spazzed out,

leaving the student to save the entire

structure, but to little avail.

ECU allows graduate students to
drop their classes after the period to
pay back any grants, but would rather
undergraduate students fail their
classes instead of setting a drop date
that would actually be reasonable, so
the students would not have to pay
the grants back. ECU= GREED.

People ride their bikes on the sidewalk
because the bike lane� on the roads
suddenly disappears at random
points. How about people walking just
move out of the way for two seconds
the same way they would have to for
someone walking faster than them.

- Get over it.

~ Im supposed to be working right

now!

Everyone thinks ive got my life so
together. Sometimes it's hard to keep
up the show.

How do you expect me to ever fully
trust you, when you can't trust ME
with the truth?

Just because you think | don't have |
a life or am boring because | would

rather stay in and watch movies than
make a fool of myself being drunk
doesn't mean you can keep me, up
until 1:30am with your extremely
terrible music.

Little known fact: Say Anythings |

album Is a Real Boy,� was written
about my life.

Because of my class on Chaucer, |
often wonder how my life would be
different if | had lived in the Middle
Ages.

| figured that if | submit a few Pirate
Rants then the probability of at least
one getting posted is heightened.
Now | just have remember which

ones | actually submitted.

| really want you to change your
Facebook relationship status. | don't
care what your friends think. | love

' you, and that should be all that

matters

If pretty much everyone on campus is
sick, shouldn't the Chancellor cancel
classes so we all dont die!?

Up in smoke
No butts about It

J.D. LEWIS
OPINION EDITOR



Surely Im about to tick some people off, but
first let me say that although I do not smoke, I
wholeheartedly support your right to kill yourself
if that is what you so desire. They're your lungs
after all. Bill Clintons anti-tobacco crusade in
the 1990s was a farce; his love of cigars was well
documented. And, lets face it, Nextel Cup just
doesnt pack quite the same punch as Winston
Cup. Smokers rights advocates will find no bigger
supporter than me.

That being said, I support my right to breathe
clean air, and like the majority of smokers Ive
encountered, when it all boils down to it, its
really all about me. If the smell of your smoke
prevents me from enjoying a delicious meal with
the wife at Outback, then snuff that sucker out.
No ones paying $50 for a side of your secondhand
smoke.

Besides, do you really want to give the impres-
sion that you are that weak and sad? Im fat and
love to eat, but I can go for an hour without food.
Do you honestly think anyone really believes
you can't go for the hour it takes to consume a
meal without puffing on a cigarette? In fact, I
ate breakfast Saturday morning around 7:30, and
didnt eat again until 8 that night. How many of
you went that long without a cigarette? Its all in
your head, friends.

ECU recently enacted a policy prohibiting
smoking within 25 feet of any building on campus.
Now Im no math major, but as I walk through
a choking cloud of cigarette smoke and wade.
through a pile of cigarette butts on my way out
one door and into another, its apparent that few
here are. Another sign of the weakness of smok-
ers: they can still smoke, but cant take the time
to walk a few extra steps in order to do so.

People who smoke for 30 years and then
try to sue the tobacco companies for their self-
inflicted maladies dont deserve one cent. Cancer
sticks were called that long before the 1990s. The
information has been out there for quite a while
now, and no guns were held to their heads. If they
were too dumb to quit before it was too late, tough
turkey. Shouldve gone cold turkey instead.

As a fan of clean air, Id have no problem if
every establishment in America banned smoking
on their premises. As a supporter of smoker's
rights, it should be strictly a business decision that
smokers should grudgingly support. Just as you
have a right to smoke and smell like an ashtray,
non-smokers have a right to breathe and smell like
clean laundry. Tolerance is a two-way street.

I am dead-set against a government-mandated
ban on smoking. Like the decision to smoke, the
decision not to smoke should be left up to the
individual. As always, common sense and the free
enterprise system do a lot more good for society
than the government ever can.

Jesse Ventura once described religion as a
crutch for weak-minded people. Id say he can't
see the forest for the cigar in his mouth.

ECU finishes on
winning note

KELLEN HOLTZMAN
STAFF WRITER

The ECU ice hockey team
ended its third season on a
positive note over the weekend
by sweeping South Carolina. The
Pirates knocked off the Game-
cocks 10-8 Friday night and 9-4
in the Saturday matinee.

ECU finished with a spotless
7-0 record at Bladez on Ice Rink
and improved its all-time home
record to 23-3.

The Pirates honored seven
seniors before both games,
including goaltender and team
co-founder Brent Falcon.

Out of the three seasons
I played here, this is probably
the best team we've had and the

tightest team off of the ice,� said

Falcon, who started both Friday
and Saturday's games. I had a
blast. It was a great way to end
my career.�

The senior weekend� was
of particular importance to
the players who watched the
program develop from the very
beginning.

Its a pretty big deal, being
the last original class graduat-
ing,� said senior defenseman Jon
Koritz. After losing our rank-
ings due to ineligible players- it
was a really big deal to win these
last games.� ,

ECU led 3-1 heading into the
second period of Friday's game,
when the intensity picked up
significantly. oe

After an lan Falcon goal
made the score 4-2, USC scored
back-to-back goals to knot the
game up at 4-4 by the midway
point of the period.

STAFF WRITER

The Lady Pirates faced the
Tulane Green Wave Thursday
night at Minges Coliseum and
were outlasted, 70-65, after an
exciting comeback inside the
final two minutes of the game.

It was pretty tough out
there,� said ECUs Jasmine
Young. I didnt expect it to be

that physical. We went with the
punches and we didnt come out
with a win.�

Gabriela Husarova sparked
the comeback attempt with a
3-pointer. Husarova then stole
the Green Wave's inbound pass
and passed the ball to LaCoya
Terry, who made the basket and

got the foul.

Terry converted the free
throw and the Pirates were only
down by two points. ©

Jasmine Young then scored
a fast break layup with :48
seconds remaining to tie the
game at 65. Tulane followed

with a pair of free throws and
although the Pirates had a few
more opportunities, they were
unable catch up.

I was proud that we were
able to come back. We couldve
folded...we were just a little bit
too late,� said Pirates Coach
Sharon Balwin-Tener.

After having won their pre-
vious four games, things were
starting to look up for the Pirate
squad.

The loss against Tulane
proved to be a very frustrating
loss for the team.

I was frustrated the whole

in a row. ECU lost to Tulane last Thursday and then at UTEP on Sunday.

game,� Baldwin-Tener said.
I thought we took a big step
backward today. We've been
playing well. We've been playing
together as a team and today I
didnt think we did that.�

ECU came out strong early

in the game with a 7-2 run, but

its lead wouldnt last long.
~ ECUs largest lead was by
five in the first half. ,

ECU was plagued by turn-
overs having 13 in the first half
and 17 in the game.

We were very careless

with the basketball early in the

game"it wasn't important to

treak screeches to a halt

us,� said Baldwin-Tener. Tulane
has a very good defensive team
and that showed.�

Husarova and Terry were the
leading scorers for the Pirates,
with 14 points.

Ashley Langford of Tulane
led all scorers with 28 points.

_ ECUs struggles were appar-
ent to all of the players and
coaches against Tulane.

We were just out of sync
tonight,� said Young. We
couldnt really get anything
going for us.

Several Pirates step up

HART HOLLOMAN
STAFF WRITER

The ECU rugby team was
without some of its key parts
this past weekend, but still
dominated UNC Wilmington,
44-0, in Wilmington, NC.

The Pirates, without senior

leader Thomas: Francisco

and head coach Jorge Conde,
improved to 2-0 in their matrix
(conference) with Saturdays
win against the in-state rival
Seahawks.

Francisco was sidelined
because of a shoulder injury and
Conde was not able to make the
trip because of a business trip.

Several other ECU play-.

ers played, but were not full
strength because of the flu.

Despite the adversity, ECU
dominated from the begin-
ning. ?
These setbacks seemed to
be only marginal after the first
few minutes of play began,� said
sophomore Justin Borgeois.
We came out playing hard in
the first half.�

Numerous players played
expanded roles due to the
absence of Francisco, and they
didnt disappoint.

Senior Connor Duke, who
was awarded Man of the
Match� for his impact, ~started
in Francisco's outside center
spot, and had a very good game
according to Bourgeois.

Two rookies also got their
first career start in the win
over the Seahawks. Bobby Allen
and Hugh Morgan each scored
two tries in their first starts,
respectively.

Morgan made an impact
immediately by putting the
Pirates on the scoreboard
first.

We came out in the first
half and despite an unlucky pen-

alty, and pressure by UNCW
inside our 22 meters, we scored
the first time our backs touched
the ball,� Bourgeois said. The
ball was passed out to Hugh
Morgan on the wing and he
made some solid moves through
defenders to score the first
try.

Morgan scored on another
offensive attack later in the
half.

Former ECU football place-
kicker Robert Lee converted
on both of the Pirates conver-
sion kicks and added a penalty
kick to make the score 17-0 at
halftime.

The Pirates blew the game
open in the second half by uti-
lizing their speed advantage for
three second half tries.

We came out just as strong
in the second half as we did
in the first,� said Bourgeois.

The forwards began to really

play as a unit and our excellent
conditioning started to take a
toll on the entire UNCW team.
We obtained ball-possession for
nearly the entire second half.�

Allen made his presence
felt-in the second half, just like
Morgan did in the first.

Allen recorded ECUs first
try of the second half by blazing
by multiple Seahawk defenders
with his superb speed. He also
scored ECUs final try of the
game, again utilizing his quick-
ness for a speedy run.

ECUs other score in the
second half was not of the speed
variety however.

Bourgeois and Duke were

trying to push the ball ahead

with their speed, but Steven
Marrero took a different
approach, willing his way for a
Pirates score which was. very
devastating to UNCW.

After multiple attacks by
the ECU centers, Steven Mar-
rero was able to muscle his way

Pirates finish second in season-opening tournament

ECU goes 4-2 in
tournament

(SID)"-After slipping past
Kent State 3-2 in the first
Salve OF tie. day the ECU
softball team dropped a 5-2
decision to North Carolina in
the championship contest of the
Carolina Classic in Chapel Hill
on Sunday. :

The Pirates finished their
first weekend of play at 4-2,
while the Tar Heels improved
_ to 5-0 and the Golden Flashes
sit at 2-3. 7

Sophomores Cristen Aona,

Toni Paisley and senior Erin
St. Ledger were named to the
all-tournament team.

Kent State went ahead in the
second inning of the morning
game when Jamie Fitzpatrick
drew a leadoff walk. Corey
Houk then stepped to the plate
and got just enough of the
ball to send it over the center
field fence, giving the Golden
Flashes an early 2-0 lead.

Kent State threatened to
add to its advantage in the
fourth when Jessica Carmichael

singled in the infield to begin

the inning. However, Kaui Tom
made a spectacular play to erase

Carmichael at second and threw
to first in time to complete a
double play. ,

The Pirates responded in
their half of the fourth when
Jessica Johnson and St. Ledger
blasted back-to-back long balls
to draw their team even at 2-2.
With one out, Sissy Jimenez
singled and advanced to second
on a wild pitch but she would go
no further as Beth Nolan struck
out to end the threat.

et Ledger proved. the
Pirates hero in the bottom
of the sixth when she hit her
second dinger in as many at-
bats to give ECU the winning

HOCKEY continued from Al0

the 9:03 mark, but the resilient
Gamecocks answered less than
two minutes later to make the
score 5-5. «
Sean Burns recaptured the
lead for ECU just 22 seconds
after the USC goal. Burns out-
skated a Gamecock defender to
gain control of a loose puck, cre-
ating a breakaway. Burns shot
appeared to have been saved
but the puck bounced off the
back of the goaltenders right
skate and across the goal line

fer the score: 3

The next USC reply arrived
with only three of its players on
the ice. ECU failed to capital-
ize on a 5-on-3 advantage as
a Gamecock converted a back-
hand shot to complete the rare,
shorthanded goal.

The Pirates finally landed
a power play goal with 1:27
remaining when freshman Sam
Duehring blasted a slapshot into
the back of the net to give his
team a 7-6 lead heading into the

third period. ,

ECU pushed its lead to 10-6
in the final period before USC
added two late goals.

The Pirates controlled the
puck for the majority of the first
period and outshot the Game-
cocks, 19-5.

ECU led 3-1 at the conclu-
sion of the first, behind goals
from Joe Colatuno, Corey Fleitz
and Nathan Buhr. ,

ECU dominated the second
game of the weekend from the
very Start.

The Pirates scored an
astounding three goals in just
21 seconds of play in the early-
goings of the first period. ECU
entered the locker room with a
6-1 lead after one period in the
books.

That was the whole point to
this game,� said senior defense-
man Jon Ciecko. Just to get out
to a quick start and have fun.
with it [the game].�

Jeremy Lang seemed to
have wrapped up the game in
the second period when he got
loose on a breakaway and deked
his way to his first goal of the
weekend. 3

USC managed to tighten
the lead to 8-4 with 6:26 left
in the third period, but senior
Jon Huck cashed in an insur-

ance score in his final game as
ar hare. ,
Eve been: here since. the
beginning, Huck said of his
time at ECU. I wanted to go
out with a bang ... forfeiting
those games was kind of a blow.

It wasnt really the way we
wanted to go out but playing

these games help.�
Those forfeited games are
the biggest downside to what
was an otherwise successful
year for ECU ice hockey. The
Pirates finished with an overall
record of 14-4 (not counting
forfeited games) and added to
the already solid foundation for
the future. |
ECU will lose several key
players for next season, but a

bulk of the scoring will return

with rising seniors Ian and
Tyler Falcon leading the way.
Burns and Cesario, two of the
Pirates most prolific scorers,
will also be expected to produce
consistently. |

The elder Falcon will pass his
pads down to freshman Matt Dal-
getty, who got plenty of on-the-
job training this season and looks
like a lock to man the Pirates net
for the next three years.

Coach Wayne Cox believes
progress was made despite
not making the ACHA South
Regionals.

Sam [Duehring] has got
so much skill, Donovan [Dean],
weve got Nick [Dinardo],�
Cox said of his underclassmen.
Chris [Cesario] ; Kyle [Tote]
-all these kids can play hockey
and we've got kids that didnt
make the team that could step
up next year. | :

We've got four new kids
coming in. We've got a young
kid coming in from Philadelphia
and a kid coming in from New
Jersey. Its going to make the
program get bigger.�

All of the pieces appear
to be in place for a return to
South Regionals in 2009. And
with 13 returning juniors and
sophomores, a first-ever trip to
nationals is a realistic possibil-
ity for the near future of EC
ice hockey.

BBALL continued from AlO

We've come too far and
we've been playing too hard
to go out and play like we did
tonight. I thought we really just
didnt play tonight,� Baldwin-
Tener added.

The Pirates knew what they
would face in regards to the Sun-
days contest against undefeated
conference rival UTEP.

UTEP has a very good bas-
ketball team and were going to
have to play a lot better than we
played today to even make it a
game,� said Balwin-Tener.

Sunday's game between
ECU and UTEP was televised
nationally by ESPN.

ECU kept it close, but
UTEPs strong second half
surged the Miners to a:81-53
win.

Its going to be a tough one
and we're going to be on national
TV so hopefully we can show

everyone what the Pirates are
made of,� said Young, who had
13 points against Tulane.

The 2 p.m. televised event
proved to be too much for the
Pirates, as UTEP extended its
winning streak to 15 games in
the win.

ECU is now 4-6 in the con-
ference and 10-13 overall.

The Pirates led early on
in the contest and went into
halftime down only 30-26, but
the Miners pulled away in the
second half.

Jasmine Young had 18 points
against UTEP, while LaCoya
Terry had 9.

The Lady Pirates return
home for a 7 p.m. game Friday,
Feb. 15 against Southern Miss.

consecutive contest, pushing
her record to 2-1 and earning
her third complete game of the
season. She scattered three hits

Ledger finished 2-for-3 with
the two home runs. ee

North Carolina went ahead
3-0 in the championship game,
plating runs in each of the
innings off-of. six nts. Phe

fourth inning when Vanessa

Moreno singled with one out,

driving in Charina Sumner
and Christina Merrida, who
had led off the inning with two
singles.

The Tar Heels put the game

runs on three hits to provide
the final margin. 3

season. Howell and Paisley both
struck out one.

ECU coach Tracey. Kee

picked up her 500th career win
on Saturday as the Pirates won
a pair of contests. They took out
preseason Mid-American Con-
ference favorite Kent State 2-1
in Saturdays first game before
returning to defeat George
Washington 6-1 in the final
contest of the day.

After Pirate hurler Toni
Paisley kept Kent State off the
board through the first two
innings, East Carolina struck

Lee was successful on all
three conversions after ECU's
second half tries.

He also added two more
penalty kicks in the final half,
finishing the game 3-of-6 on
penalty kicks.
| Lees successful kicks and
the Pirates diverse attack in

start the inning then proceeded
to steal second. Sumner then
recorded her second double of
the game, scoring Andrews to
push the Pirates on top 1-0.
ECU added another run in the
sixth.

The Golden Flashes drew
within a run in their half of the
sixth as Kim Hamilton took
Paisleys offering over the left
center field fence to leadoff the
half-inning. The Pirates were
then set down in order in the top
of the seventh, setting up a dra-
matic ending to the contest.

Ashlee Hein reached first
on a leadoff walk then advanced
to second on a single by pinch
hitter Lauren Brocklehurst.
With both runners at second
and third with two outs, Hamil-
ton was hit by a pitch to load the
bases. However, Kani ~Tom was
able to snag a ball off the bat of
Jessica Carmichael and step on :
second to end the contest.

In Saturdays second game,
GW jumped on top in the third
inning, giving George Wash-
ington the 1-0 advantage. How-
ever, ECU would strike back in
their half of the third.

On a O-1 pitch, Sumner
left no doubt as to where the
ball was headed as it easily
cleared the wall in right center,
knotting the score at one. Two

batters later, Jessica Johnson
smashed her first home run of
the year, scoring Merrida and
providing the Pirates with a 3-1
lead. ECU scored two more runs
later in the inning, pushing the
advantage to 5-1.

Brooke Swann picked up her
first victory of the season to
move to 1-0 as well as throwing
her first complete game since
Feb 23, 2007. St. Ledger was
a perfect 3-for-3 in the contest.

ECU split its opening day
games on Friday, losing to UNC
5-1, and beating North Carolina
Central 13-0 in five innings.

ECU threatened in the top
of the first when with one out
but with the bases load and two
outs on the board, Cristen Apna
struck out, ending the inning.

North Carolina struck first
in the bottom of the third.
Danielle Spaulding led off with
a walk before Emily Troup dou-
bled, scoring Spaulding, who
had taken second on a sacrifice
bunt. The Tar Heels added their
second run on an Anna Roberts
single, scoring Troup.

North Carolina expanded its
lead to 3-0 in the next inning
as Breanna Brown and Cassie
Palmer singled. Palmers single
scored Brown from first.

Cristen Aona spoiled Lisa
Norris's shutout bid in the top
of the seventh when she ripped
a long ball that easily cleared
the center field fence, giving the
game its 5-1 final score.

In the Pirates second game

of the day, they jumped on
North Carolina Central early,
scoring three runs in the bottom
of the first.

The Pirates put the game
out of reach in the second, scor-
ing eight runs to extend their
lead to 11-0.

Freshman Britt Howell went
three innings, allowing one
hit and striking out one while
junior Brooke Swann threw the
last two innings to complete the
shutout. Swann did not give up
a hit as she fanned three. Mer-
rida was a perfect 4-for-4 on the
game while Aona went 3-for-4
to finish 4-for-7 on the day.

ECU returns to action on
Friday as it opens up the home
portion of the schedule.

The Pirates host the Pirate

tive home tournaments. Boston

nent for ECU as the contest is
