Groups come together to
say Enough is Enough?

Coordinators of the march pass out flyers in West Greenville.

A march to end juvenile deaths to be held

KIMBERLY BELLAMY
NEWS EDITOR

Some people have had enough when it comes to the senseless.
deaths of juveniles and they will show their concern during a
march on Friday, March 7. ! 3

The Intergenerational Community Center, ECU students,
community members and the families of victims*are working
together to promote awareness about the issue. :

The march is titled When Enough is Enough,? and will start

at 6:30 p.m. The route for the,walk will begin at the center, located

at 1100 Ward St., and conclude there as well.

Walkers will make a stop on Imperia Street, the location where
Kenneth Andrews was murdered in July of 2007.

Over 100 juvenile deaths have occurred in Greenville within
the last 10 years, according to Christopher Taylor of the Intergen-
erational Community Center. AndrewsT death is an example of the
type of crime that this march is attempting to eliminate.

Ida Andrews, mother of the victim, shared the story of her
sonTs death at a meeting to finalize plans for the march held on
March 5. : |

The situation that ended with the shooting of Andrews started
with a robbery incident. .

Shadeek Pittman had broke into AndrewsT home and had
stolen his wallet and pants. Andrews questioned Pittman about his
belongings, which Ida believes were related to PittmanTs motives
for the crime.

Although the crime wasnTt gang related, some were trying to

label it as that, according to Ida.

The police department wanted to automatically say it was
gang or drug related, and it was neither,? Ida said.

Ida said that her son wasnTt involved in a gang. She gave the

individuals who attended the. meeting an insight into what kind »

of person her son was. ,

Andrews had dreams of driving a truck, and eventually a race
car. He also wanted to follow in the footsteps of his mother and
write a book. Neither of these aspirations were fulfilled before
his death. 7 |

The coordinators of the event want to give young people in .

West Greenville hope. They .aim to show youth that they can.
fulfill their dreams, and that resorting to violence isnTt the right
path to follow. .

The ultimate goal is to cut out juvenile deaths and bring father

figures back homes, according to Taylor. The organizers of the |

march are also trying to raise awareness of the amount of youth
deaths that hit close to home. ,
This not only happens in the neighborhood that I live in, but

_ also in other neighborhoods,? Ida said.
ItTs one thing to hear something and another thing to feel _

something,T Taylor said.

Coordinators of the march would like more involvement from. |

the community and ECU.

One idea is to recruit more male students, such as ECU football
players, to mentor the kids.

While some students are unaware of the issues that happen

in communities so close to campus, others have taken an active "

approach to fixing the problem.

The Counseling Center is worki

Facility offers multiple ways to.
get the help needed

_ NADIAH SARSOUR
STAFF WRITER

A close and convenient way to help students

cope with their daily distresses may be walking

distance away.

Students are mired in their mid-term stud-
ies, spring break is just around the corner and

relational hurdles either with your roommate,
and friend or family members are timeless.

With that, the flow of stress is difficult to
_ block.

The ECU Counseling and Student Develop-
ment Center is committed to helping students
with their personal and academic development.

Renita Moore is the Mental Health Outreach
Specialist for the Counseling Center.

She said the center offers different counsel-
ing services and itTs all dictated by students
interest.?

Whether the consultation is conducted with
a group, couple or individually, is up to the final
say of the students that are being seen.

The center grips on to all sorts of problems
like personal issues, social issues and develop-
ment of life and academic skills.

_ Many students are under the impression that

if they aren't able to get an appointment that is

in the near future, then they will have a longer
waiting time. Moore denied the notion that they
have a waiting list. |
Some students are having difficulties being
seen as soon as they hope to, especially during

Counseling center debunks
the myths of waiting lines

peek time, which is normally around exams.

Moore said thatTs because the number of
staff members may be working against us.?

She added how that could be challenging
compared to the number of clients present.
However, she said we are trying to fit spots as
soon as possible.?

Moore also said the priority of appoint-
ments are based on the severity of condi-
tions. ,

Students are advised to set up appoint-
ments but they also provide walk in ser-
vices from . If an psychical appointment
feasible, there is also a 24 hour council on
call from10:00-4:00.

Discretion and confidentiality is key to the
foundation of their services.

We are bound by law to remain confiden-
tial.? Moore said.

If the client chooses to keep police and family
members oblivious to their case, they will honor
that request unless that person imposes danger
to themselves or others,? Moore said.

The officeTs location is also discrete; it is
the only office on the third floor in the Wright
Building.

ItTs difficult for some students to make the
move and seek consultation.

ItTs really a personal decision to seek out
counseling process,? Moore said.

Moore added that getting help is taking
a step in the right direction and also a coura-
geous effort.

Speech defines the importance of
humanity studies

KIMBERLY BELLAMY
NEWS EDITOR

The seats of Bate 1031 were filled with
individuals who came to hear to final lecture
offered by Julian Lethbridge, distinguished
visiting Rivers professor of International
Affairs, in a one-month lecture series.

Lethbridge gave a lecture about different
topics once a week for about four straight
weeks, according to Thomas Herron, assis-
tant professor of English.

The latest topic addressed was the study
of humanities. The lecture was titled, The
Function of the Humanities at the Present
~Tames

Lethbridge gave the subject a humanistic
feel by describing humanities in ways that
most would relate to living things.

Everything boils down to the human
element.? Lethbridge said.

The humanities are a living species and
can go extinct.?

Lethbridge also gave the audience a clue of
how humanities relates to the concepts of self-
consciousness, understanding and freedom.

Some of the other topics Lethbridge lec-
tured on during the month of February were
history, theology, and literary criticism,
according to Herron.

Herron said that he felt Lethbridge
focused on defining what these three topics
do and the lecture on humanities was more
of a defense of the subject.

ainherlectures havé-been such a success
that interest has been expressed about having

them published.

Four or five people in the English depart-
ment have asked if the lectures will be pub-
lished,? Herron said.

Herron played a part in LethbridgeTs
arrival at ECU. Different departments apply
to bring in someone to act as their distin-
guished visiting professor.

Herron filled out the application request-
ing Lethbridge to fulfill the capacity of this
position and the English department was
chosen.

During his time here at ECU, Lethbridge
not only gave lectures but also taught classes
and provided assistance to other professors
with the department.

Part of the responsibilities for the dis-
tinguished visiting Rivers professors is to
teach one class per semester, according to
Herron. |

The work of Lethbridge paralleled with
some of the work of others in the English
department.

The department has a couple of renais-
sance professors and Lethbridge is a Renais-
sance scholar.

The professors and Lethbridge had the
opportunity to meet and discuss the issues
related to this subject. , ,

Many feel that Lethbridge has become
one of ECUTs own during his visit. Marilyn
Sheerer, interim provost of vice chancellor of
academic and student affairs, said that Leth-
bridge is more like a resident speaker instead
of a visiting speaker during her introduction
of him at the lecture on Tuesday. ,

great student center and Ledonia Wright Cultural Center that will

be appropriate for a university this size,? Ballard said.

Atkins expressed his concern about the project, but reassured
students that they are working diligently and carefully with
other members on campus to make sure that they will still have
adequate space.?

The topic of safety emerged along with reminders of the shoot-
ings at Virginia Tech and, most recently, in North Illinois.

Nothing bothers a chancellor or president ofa public university
more than safety,? Ballard said. It is a daunting challenge to run
an open campus.?

According to Ballard, $2.7 million has been reserved to ensure
that money is available to fund-recurring campus safety initia-
tives.

The controversial topic of hard waiver insurance once again
reared its head, leaving Ballard to explain why he opted to delay the
decision for another year. The idea behind hard waiver insurance is

that every attending student must be insured, either by their own
source or by a university hard waiver. Advantages include improved
health and reduction of the risk of students on campus.

My main concern is the affordability of education, I donTt want
to price education out of peopleTs range,? Ballard said. Quite a few

students have a hard time affording higher education already, and
the introduction of hard waiver would act as the biggest single
increase in cost.?

A lighthearted ee. arose towards the end of the session
as Stephen Mason, student union vice president-elect, posed the
audience question what is your favorite thing about ECU.?

I just love the spirit of the students, that spirit can be seen in
everything we do,? said Ballard. |

I was surprised that the question of tuition increases didnTt
come up, since it is such a vital part of studentTs lives,? Ballard said
after the discussion. |

student,? Sampson continued.

discussion beneficial and comprehensive.

I think they did an excellent job covering everything. They
seemed to be well informed,? said Hyers.

to bash the sacred pastime of using the week off

Well, I just happen to think there are

things that could better serve our character.

than making a trip based solely ~on preparing
to make some bad decisions. I mean, the Carib-
bean is a great place to vacation, but why not
just save that for summer and do something
at least slightly productive over the break?
Many of my friends have actually participated
in the alternative spring break programs that

are offered through ECU and other universi- "

ties. The coolest one was definitely my friend
who headed down to help in the aftermath of
Hurricane Katrina. However, there are pro-
grams that even send you to Jordan to do mis-
sionary work for a week! I think that is more
intriguing than going and sitting in another bar
in another city in another country. (Moreover, they
always brought back the most beautiful pictures

and awesome stories about how their experiences

changed their lives).

When you think about it, how much is paying
large sums of money, simply to do exactly what you
do on an average weekend, going to change you?
How are you going to remember the lessons you
learned? (I mean, other than liquor before beer, but
letTs face it, who doesnTt already know that?)

Therefore, I challenge you"yes, you who
are staying in Greenville, to those who are going

to Barbados or even Antarctica"to do at least

one thing for another person. A good deed, per
se, whether itTs being nice to the locals if you are
somewhere exotic or just helping someone pick up
something they dropped. Be the best person you can
be. Represent the universities of America in a new
light, not the teenage wasteland it usually is.

Just ask yourself, or at least consider, What
can I do over break to cultivate my character??

YAZID FINN
OPINION WRITER

. My addiction to poker began innocently
chbugh, my freshman year. Five-dollar buy-ins,
random individuals from my residence hall, and
you could enjoy two hours of fun for less than
the cost of a movie. This was just a physical
metaphor for a gateway drug; soon enough,
one of the players who was a regular spoke of
a-bigger game and higher stakes. As a novice

in ~the game with a taste for cards, how could

I pass up such an opportunity?

We set out late in the night, down the empty
streets of the city. At this time of the day, even
Evans Street was deserted. Turning down a
side road, we arrived at our destination: an
unimpressive, nondescript house. After knock-
ing and waiting, the faint sound of a door bolt
unlocking could be heard, and the door creaked
open. | half-expected the muscular figure of a
bodybuilder in a sleeveless black shirt to pat
us down, but was instead greeted by a tall and
skinny young adult with glasses. ;

As we walked inside, we met the clinking
sound of quality clay and metal chips and the
smell of cigarette smoke. Two standard-sized
poker tables were in sight, surrounded by what

looked like a selection of the most recent World "

Series of Poker: college kids my age with graphic
T-shirts and iPods, and older men glancing at
their watches, half-expecting a phone call from
their wives. Exchanging our money for chips, we
took our seats.

A year and a half later, ITm still a regular
player. Visiting sometimes three days out of
the week, we joke and play ~till sometimes six
in the morning on a weekday, only to stop to
pay a visit to IHOP and then go our separate
ways. After sleeping ~till sundown, we roll out
of bed and start our day, possibly to begin this
series of events once more.

Of course, with games such as these, pro-
cedure demands invitation only. Maybe if you
catch my eye at one of the many campus or
town games and get a nod of approval from
the club,? you, too, can bet off your paycheck
and enjoy some of the best entertainment
Greenville doesnTt talk about.

ANDREA ROBERTSON
OPINION WRITER

The U.S., the last remaining superpower, is
the only industrialized nation that has yet to enact
a single-payer health care system. As the wealthi-
est nation in the world, one would think that it
would go without saying that U.S. citizens would
receive adequate health care. America, however,
has approximately 44 million citizens under the
age of 65 who are uninsured, thus not receiving
sufficient health care. Money is the primary force
preventing our country from granting its citizens
the right of free health care.

The. prime fear of a single-payer health care
system is the raising of taxes; however, the
increase would more than likely go unnoticed,
especially since all out-of-pocket expenses for
insurance would be eliminated. I donTt feel that as
human beings, we should be so materialistic as to
deny any person the chance to become well. Many
of the people being denied assistance are those
who cannot help themselves. Children and the
elderly are unable to provide the means necessary
to pay for health care services or insurance.

Money-hungry insurance companies are also
preventing the single-payer system from becom-
ing a reality. Worried about receiving payment,

~a person living with low income will find him or

herself facing greater debt or even bankruptcy (if
he or she were to seek medical attention, accord-
ing to Sandy Miller, a writer for the Knight Ridder
Tribune Business News). Not only is the price for
health insurance hurting those with low income, but

middle class citizens are also facing the problem of "

losing their health coverage because it is too expen-

Miller also points out the fear of bankruptcy a
person with a chronic illness might have. Because
insurance companies are more concerned with
making profits than spreading well-being, the U.S.
is allowing this bureaucracy to cause many prema-
ture deaths. According to Dr. William Wewer, a
Steelton physician, health insurers are an exhaust
on the system. The insurers use too much money
for advertising instead of health care.

With this knowledge, it seems ridiculous for
the U.S. to continue to allow this to take place.
Our country should be providing its people with
the highest possible quality of life. "

A single-payer system would not only
prevent thousands of unnecessary deaths, but

would potentially save taxpayers money. Studies |
administered by the general accounting office and

the congressional budget office predicted that a
single-payer system would save the United States
billions of dollars. By merely eliminating all over-
head writing, billing and marketing costs that
insurance companies spend, about $350 billion
each year will be available for the use of the new
health care system that is desperately needed.
As written on the Statue of Liberty: Give
me your tired, your poor...? Our people are tired
and poor and in desperate need of a health care
system that will accommodate the needs of not

only those who can afford insurance, but those
who will contribute to a healthier America as a
- whole. ItTs time for the citizens of this country to

take a stand and help their fellow man. Worry not
about a tax increase; we area country founded on
camaraderie. It is our duty to force our country
to provide every man, woman and child with the
right of health care. .

Nuclear weapons

They only want to please us

ALEX LAROCCA
OPINION WRITER

A long time ago, people would savagely kill
each other with swords and spears. Thousands
would march into a field and fight over some
arbitrary plot of land, or perhaps something
even more stupid. Later, man invented gun-
powder, leading us toward the ability to kill
way more people and feel less grossed out by it.
In the 20" century, all the technologies of the

- past culminated into a world bloodbath leading

up to the Cold War. World War II was the last
loud boom of gunpowder, leaving around 62
million people dead. But what helped stop such
an insane bloodbath? Nuclear weapons.

As I hope you know, the fear of nuclear
holocaust was the only thing stopping the Cold.
War from becoming a hot war. In a strange way,
the worst weapon ever devised by man is also
one of the greatest tools of peace, ever. I hon-
estly think that without the invention of nukes,
we would be living in a completely devastated
world practically stripped of its population.
Thanks to nukes, most of the world will never
see wars like that again, and, thanks to nukes,
those wars just canTt happen anymore.

I can see how people would split hairs with
me on this one, and I am not in favor or spend-
ing lots of money on nukes or even keeping
them around. But on that note, I donTt think a
nuke will ever be dropped again. It is basically
a consensus to think that China or Russia, or
whoever, will never just drop a nuke on a coun-
try. Today, having a nuke is just like having
some sort of VIP status or special membership.
Any country that becomes a VIP is then cool?
and can hang out with the real? and important
countries of the world.

Who would ever take North Korea, a country
so small, ignorant and poor, seriously? Well,
no one, until they began claiming their nuclear
capabilities. Unfortunately, North Korea did not
get an official invite from China and was called
out in front of everyone. Embarrassment is a pos-
sibility for those who wish to become a VIP, but
VIP status is really hard to get since all of the
current members are really stingy.

For instance, today nobody really wants
Iran to get an invite to become a VIP, except
for old man Russia. But what if Iran managed to
get at least minor VIP status"nuclear power.
Despite what you may read or hear; nuclear
power is not a gateway like pot. In fact, if you
want nuclear weapons, you have to be really
rich and smart"two things that Iran really
isnTt right now"so who can blame us for not
wanting to invite them?

_ Ofcourse, there are the troublemakers too.
Terrorists fit into this category, because only a
terrorist would steal from a VIP member and
use his or her peaceful nuke. But aside from
24,? and whatever other terrible shows there
are, that wonTt happen. In the real world, ter-

-rorists aren't allowed anywhere near the VIP

lounge. And ifa terrorist was somehow caught

hanging out with VIP members or anywhere
near the VIP. lounge, they would just be kicked
out and murdered so that we can continue to
stay safe.

In the past, thousands to millions were
slaughtered for the pointless reasons of greed,
power and land. Today, though, only a few
hundred to maybe a few thousand of those
people are killed ... and mostly by accident.
Perhaps instead of constantly hating on the big
bad nukes, we should stop for a moment and
embrace and honor them as a peaceful force.

Pirates win slugtest over Old Dominion

ECU SID"The ECU base-

record at 4-4 by defeating Old
Domion 20-13 on the road
Tuesday night, but the win
didnTt come easy.
| Despite leading for most of

the game, the PiratesT needed
to score run in the top of the
ninth to push the game into

Then in the tenth, ECU
exploded for seven runs, secur-
ing the win. ,

Heading into the 10th frame
with the game tied at 13, six
consecutive batters reached base

Ryan Wood lead off with a
single down the right field line,
then moved to third on Stephen

right-center scoring Ray. 3

In the bottom of the fourth,
ODU tied the game at seven.
Cipolla drew a two-out walk
and scored on BurnsT two-run

Junior pitcher Justin Bristow.

Maness took the mound again,
and then again, in another
tough situation.

After ECU lost its home-
opener, 4-3, the night before,
Maness made his pitching debut
at Clark-LeClair Stadium.

And yet again, the young
pitcher came through.

Maness struck out seven
Monmouth batters, five hits
and two runs in his first career
victory as an ECU pitcher.

ItTs awesome, ITve been
looking forward to this since
I was five years old,? Maness
said of his first career win. It

than this.? :

PITCHERS continued from AQ

turned in an even more impres-
sive performance the day after
ManessT first career victory:

Bristow threw a two-hit,
complete game shutout Sunday
afternoon, giving ECU its first
series win of the season.

After two starts at ECU,
Bristow leads the Pirates in
ERA, as he had only given up
two earned runs in 14 innings
pitched.

Bristow didnTt have that
kind of success at Auburn.

He posted a 1-6 record with
a 9.30 ERA last season, but a
new jersey has obviously pro-
duced different results.

I canTt really speak on
what happened there [Auburn]
because I wasn't there, but
weve had some closed-door
talks and sometimes a change
of environment can help a guy
of his ability,? Godwin said.

The 6-foot-4, 213-pounder
from Richmond, VA, was a high
school All-American and rated
as the fourth-best high school
player in the nation by Baseball
America in 2005, and Godwin
is confident that Bristow can
reach his full potential after a

rough stint at Auburn.

HeTs been nothing but
good for us and we donTt talk
about the past, especially when
the past is maybe not what he

ECUMrachnemeser Manibes

thought it was going to be,?
Godwin said. I think the

most important thing is that

heTs here, and heTs
Were

Unlike some college ooh:
ers, Bristow and Maness both
use three different pitches
on the mound: a fastball, a
breaking ball and an off-speed
pitch.

Utilizing these three
pitches with variety can keep
hitters off-balance for most.of
the game.

ItTs a definite advantage,?
Maness said. The curveball is
more of a strikeout pitch, but
you have to work it through

s doing well

your fastball.?

ItTs worked so far in 2008,
as Bristow and Maness are fed
for the team-lead in strikeouts,
each at 12.

Getting quality pitching
performances on the weekend
is necessary for most college
baseball teams.

ECUTs season might come
down to the success of pitchers
not named, T.J. Hose"and if
that is the case"Maness and
Bristow could make a name for
themselves. |

Senior Alex Smith hits a forehand at ECUTs Tennis Complex during spring play this season.

ECU S1D-"-For.the first
time in its history, the ECU
womenTs tennis program has
earned a place in the national
rankings as it stands No. 63
in this weekTs Intercollegiate
Tennis Association (ITA)
Division I Poll according to a

release from the organization

late Tuesday night. -

The Lady Pirates, who have
raced out to an 8-0 record so
far this spring, are one of five
Conference USA teams listed
among the top 75 teams in
the nation - joining Marshall

(55), UAB (57), Tulsa (58) and
Rice (75).

T think this serves as a testa-
ment to the support we have from

our administration and all the

hard work our players have done
this season,? ECU coach Tom
Morris said. ItTs certainly a good
place to start, especially since we'll
have the opportunity to play other
ranked teams this spring.?
Morris, who is in his 10th
season heading the ECU wom-
enTs team and ranks as the
program's winningest coach,
has directed the Lady Pirates to

together as a unit in order to be
successful.

Everybody just has to work
together to get better as a unit

. when one guy comes out of
the game, we don't want to skip
any beats, we want everyone to
be on the same level,? Lindsay
said.

When it comes to Lindsay,
he says he is ready to step into
the position that was once filled
by a sure first-day NFL draft
pick.

That is what I want, I guess
because the team is counting on
me, Lindsay said. Any time
that pressure is on you, you
perform your best.?

While Lindsay, Norman
Whitley, Jonathan Williams
and Brandon Simmons will be
viable options come next season,
it remains just how the loss of
Johnson will affect the Pirates.

It has a tremendous
impact,T Smith said of John-
sonTs loss. You're talking
about a guy that had 17 or 18
touchdowns rushing, another
six receiving and then another
one on a kickoff return. You're

talking about a guy that scored

half of our points last year, so
itTs going to have a impact.
ItTs one of those things that
when someone graduates, itTs
time for somebody to step up.
Just like last year when Bran-
don Fractious graduated, Chris
stepped up with his opportunity
and made the most of it.?
While replacing Johnson's
productivity could be almost
impossible to fully replace,
Smith says the team is going
about practice and the drills

other day.

Just the: same things,
they're [the running backs] Just
getting more reps now,T Smith -
said. Since itTs spring ball, itTs
a lot of competition, so the guy
that goes out and is consistent, .
works hard and knows his stuff *
is who were going to put the °
workload on.?

One of the things that.
Johnson did that doesnTt show ~
up on the stat sheet is his abil- °
ity to draw defenders into the
box and open up some passing :
lanes. Smith knows that. bal- .
anced offense usually equals °
success on the gridiron.

You have to be a balanced
offense, and you, have to be
able to take the pressure off
the quarterback,? Smith said.
Then you have to be able to
run when itTs time to run, so
itTs a lot of pressure on the
running backs unit right now
because we have to go out and
be consistent.?

These guys are our future,
Smith added.

If all goes right for theT
PiratesT running back unit, the
loss of Johnson will be minimal,
but that happening is easier said
than done.

However, Lindsay knows

~that he and his teammates can

achieve success and eventually
step out of the shadow cast by
Johnson.

He was a great player,T
Lindsay said. We have some
guys that are ready to play ...
so we can get it done.?

CHELSEA CAMPEN
: STAFF WRITER

The thrilling and provocative
2007 film starring Jodi Foster and
Terrance Campbell was hailed by
The New York Times as well cast
and smoothly directed, [but] is
just as crude and ugly as you want
it to be. And that the movie insists,
how, in your heart of hearts, you
really do want it to be. Its none-
too-subtle governing idea is that
even the most effete, brownstone-

dwelling public radio listener | '

might feel the occasional urge to:

blow someoneTs head off.?

In The Brave One, Jodi Foster
plays Erica Bain, a radio personal-
ity turned vigilante, bent on pun-

ishing the criminals of New York:

are attacked by gang members,

she kills a robber/murderer in a
convenience store and experiences
her first taste of justice.?

She roams the streets at
night, fulfilling her driving need
for vengeance against a city she
feels has turned against her. A
relationship develops with the
investigator (Terrance Camp-

bell), following the series of mur-
ders that fuels her vendetta.

Although she continues kill-
ing, she suffers conflicts within
herself about the nature of her
sense of justice. The movie cli-
maxes when she confronts her
fiancéTs killers.

Overall, the movie is raw,

some good questions about jus- |

tice. Is it right to kill a guilty
person without a trial, and
more importantly, is it wrong to
purposefully place yourself in a
situation where you will have to

kill in self defense?

In the movie, the investigators
are looking for a man as the shooter

SARAH CAMPBELL
EDITOR IN CHIEF ©

Spring break is a mere
two days away, and whether
you are planning an exotic
getaway or a casual trip to
your hometown, one thing is
for sure: packing is a hurdle
that everyone must overcome
before hitting the road.

No matter where you may be
traveling, becoming a minimal-
ist will make packing a much
easier endeavor. The impulse
to pack your entire wardrobe
along with every other personal
care item is oftentimes the cul-
prit for over packing.

Following a few simple
guidelines will make the process
of packing a bit more bearable.

First, consider your destina-
tion. Location plays a crucial role
in the types of things you need to
bring along for the trip.

Find out what amenities
may already be included in
your lodging. If you are head-
ing home, it is unnecéssary to

No matter where you go this
spring break, it is important to
remember to bring along your
driverTs license, cell phone,

These are items that canTt be

bought once you arrive at your

destination, so it is imperative to
include them in your suitcase.

The way you pack is just as
important as what you decide to
take. Rolling clothes can be more
practical than folding, which can
leave creases in clothing.

Each traveler should bring

only one suitcase anda carry-on

being bogged down by luggage
when trying to switch flights or
pack the car for a roadtrip.

On-campus and off-campus
both offer advantages

KIMBERLY BELLAMY
NEWS EDITOR

Many students are eager to branch out from
the dependency of their parents and become more
independent when entering college.

One of the ways to gain this freedom is
making the transition from your parents house to
your own place, whether it be a house, an apart-
ment or in the dorms.

Deciding which one of these environments is
the right fit for you can be the next challenge in
your quest for liberation.

There are many resources available to help
choose an environment that will suit your lifestyle.

The Center for Off Campus and Community
Living (COCCL) has a website that offers numer-
ous information for adult students, transfer stu-
dents and students seeking off-campus housing.

We have a website where we have several
apartment complexes listed. All of them have
passed the city codes,? said Lucia Brannon, admin-
istrative assistant for COCCL.

Special attention was given to whether or not
the apartments chosen for the website were safe.

Individuals working at COCCL visited the

apartments to make sure that they are safe,

according to Brannon.

The website also gives students the option to find
a roommate or invite people to sublease for them.

Safety is a major factor in making a choice for
residency. Some students don't have the benefit of
having someone double-check to make sure that
their home will be safe. 3

Location contributes to how safe students
might feel in their new environments.

Choosing a good neighborhood is a good
thing to think about when considering if staying
in a house is right for you.

major and resident of a house.

There are ways to conquer your fears of crime
if you feel you're in a bad area off-campus.

The security in our neighborhood isnTt that
great, Hargadon said.

Students can choose to take the initiative to
attend meetings that focus on topics like neigh-
borhood safety such as Hargadon, who mentioned
she would be attending a meeting with the City of
Greenville about these types of issues.

When you stay in houses off-campus, you may
have to deal with more skepticism about safety but
there are advantages.

I love the freedom of being able to do what I

want,? Hargadon said.

If being closer to the heart of ECUTs campus
is more important to you, staying in one of the
15 dorms on campus would be best.

We really connect students to the ECU com-
munity, said Aaron Lucier, associate director
campus living.

Staying on campus allows you to interact
with more people on a day-to-day basis and
gives you the opportunity to engage in the full
college experience.

We do a lot of great programs and activities
directly related to college such as educational and
diversity programs, according to Lucier.

A major factor to consider is which alternative
will empty your pockets the most.

Some argue that dorms are less expensive ane
some beg to differ.

It depends on where you live. I believe we
offer competition,? Lucier said.

After considering these things, you will be
able to make a more informed decision about
where you would like to reside while gaining
your education.

To find out more about the possibilities of
staying on-campus, you can visit the website at
ecu.edu/studentlife/campusliving.

To makes decisions about off-campus living,
students can go to ecu.edu/studentlife/offcampus.
