ELISE PHILLIPS
EDITOR IN CHIEF
On April 1, North Carolin-
lans put on their tennis shoes
-in Asheville, NC and joined a
statewide effort called the Mil-
lion Step March, sponsored by.
insurance company Blue Cross
and Blue Shield of North Carolina
(BCBSNC).
Since that day, members of
the Million Step March team and
participants have walked over 400,
miles and stopped in various parts
of the state hosting events at non-
profit organizations, schools, parks
and worksites in order to educate
their walking
shoes
NC citizens about the importance
of physical activity.
The goal of the march is to show
North Carolinians that even taking
small measures"like walking"can
greatly benefit their health. ©
Thousands have participated
in the Million Step March, which
stopped in Greenville on May 21
from 11 a.m./to 1 p.m. to celebrate
National Employee Health and
Fitness Day.
We've walked all the way from
Asheville to show that anyone
can start a healthy habit, one step
at a time, said Kathy Higgins,
BCBSNCs vice president of com-
munity, relations who helped to
lead the march. We're pleased to
have the people of Pitt County join

A speech by Jianming Chen, an

Greenville Mayor Pat Dunn also
offered words of condolence and
comfort to the crowd gathered.
On occasions like this we real-
ize how connected we are,? she said.
We also realize that in a twin-
~kling of an eye, things can change.
Theres no doubt that many of you

was the last person to address the
crowd. He told members of the
audience that there was something
they could do to help victims of
the tragedy in China: help build
a school for the children whose
school building had been wiped out
by the quake.
May 12, 2008 is a day all
of us will remember,? he said.
Near to 7,000 school buildings
were lost or damaged. Without
schools, [childrens] dreams will
become nightmares.?
Zeng and Li collected donations
for the school, which will be built
in an area of China hit hardest by
the natural disaster. According to
Li, members supporting the project
collect about $3,000 last weekend
at Greenvilles Sams Club, and
will be out collecting donations
for the school this weekend as
well. All of the money collected
will be put into the Greenville
Chinese School Earthquake Fund
and be used to fund the building of a
school in China. |
Rebuilding is a long-term
project,? Zeng said. It may take an
entire generation to do this.?

ECU student wins TRU
teen of contest
Pledges to be
tobacco-free-
NATALIE JURGEN
NEWS EDITOR
Julia Stephenson, a freshman
communications major from Wash--
ington, NC, was recently named
a winner of the Tobacco Reality -
Unfiltered (TRU) Teen of the
Month Contest. ;
TRU is the teen tobacco preven-
tion movement funded by the NC
Health and Wellness Trust Fund
(HWTF).
In order to enter the contest,
all entrants had to be between the
ages of 12 and 18 and take the TRU
pledge to remain tobacco-free.
A variety of entry forms were
accepted, such as videos, essays and
artwork. Stephensons entry was an
original poem.
After reviewing a number of sub-
missions, a winner was chosen from
each of the four regions in NC: west,
central west, central east and east.
I was motivated to enter the
contest when I saw an article
Contributed Photo
about it in my local newspaper,?
said Stephenson.
Each TRU teen of the month
also stars in their own tobacco
prevention commercial.
Stephensons commercial will
air on networks such as MTV and
Comedy Central.
My family and friends are very
excited for me, Stephenson said.
Stephenson believes that it is
important for students to have their
own individual outlook and make
their own decisions. 3 3
The message in my poem is
for kids and teenagers who expe-
rience peer pressure,? Stephenson
said. It lets them know you dont
have to smoke to look cool.?

TRU uses testimonials of
real NC teens as well as hard-hit-
ting facts to dissuade youth from
using tobacco. This grassroots
initiative includes the TRU media
campaign, as well as a grant pro-
grams to organizations working
in all 100 counties to reduce teen
tobacco use.
The NC Health and Wellness
Trust Fund makes NC stronger,
both physically and economi-
cally, by funding programs that
promote preventive health. Cre-
ated by the General Assembly
in 2000 to allocate a portion of
NCs share of the national tobacco
settlement, HW TF has invested
$143 million to support preven-
tive health initiatives and $102
million to fund prescription drug
assistance programs.
Any student interested in
helping prevent teen tobacco use
should contact a TRU grantee,
which is a TRU movement leader,?
said Megan Hauser, Youth Tobacco
Prevention Coordinator for NC.

911: used and abused
Or call someone who
cares
J.D. LEWIS
OPINION EDITOR
Before leaving the workforce
and returning to college full-time,
I spent eight years as a 911 opera-
tor. A local newspaper reporter
and I were once going to team up
and write an exposé of the public
abuse of the 911 system, but my
then-supervisor quickly dismissed
the idea because, in his view, abuse
isn't that big of a problem.?
That is easy to say when youre not
the one sitting in the communications
center for 12 hours dealing with it.
Out of compassion for dispatch-
ers everywhere, it is time to say some
things that have long needed to be
said. 911 is for emergencies only.
It is not to find out if your favor-
ite officer is on duty; to inquire if
some useless relative is in jail; if
the police have a warrant for your
arrest or to report power outages.
Yes, these are all inconveniences,
but hardly emergencies.
Do not call 911 to ask for the
number to the jail or anywhere
else. It is not 411. The nine and
the four are diagonal from each
other on totally opposite sides of
the keypad. No matter how hard
you try, you are not going to hit
the nine by mistake when going
for the four.
A frequent response to 911? is
Ive got the wrong number.? No,
911 is only three numbers, and for
a wrong number you need at least
four more.
As equally unfathomable as the
whole wrong number bit, is the
outright denial. ,
I didnt call 911.?
You obviously did, or I wouldn't
have answered and said 911.?
This ain't really an emer-
gency...? is another oft-quoted
comeback. You don't really need
to call 911 then, do you? ...But I
didnt know who else to call.?
Dispatchers are not God, Dr. Phil
or Abigail Van Buren. If anything
other than a crime, fire or serious
medical problem is on your mind,
then 911 is not the number for you.
This ain't really an emer-
gency...? is often followed by but
I tried to call the other number (the
non-emergency line), and didnt
nobody answer.?
Well, didnt nobody? call because
I was sitting right there the whole
time, and the phone never rang, so
you obviously didnt try too hard. To
the dispatcher, this is just another way
of saying Im too lazy to look the
number up in the phone book.? |
Also, when calling 911, the first
thing out of your mouth should
never be How are you doing??
If you are calling 911, yours or
someone elses life and/or prop-
erty should be in grave danger; a
roaring blaze should be consuming
everything in sight; or you or some-
one else should be in agonizing
pain and/or close to death. In any
case, the welfare of the dispatcher
is not germane to the situation, nor
should you care who answers so
long as someone does.
Whos speaking?? is another
frequent response to 911.? Tell me
what that has to do with anything?
If straits are so dire that I need to
call 911, I really dont care to whom
I am speaking as long as they send
me some help.
More than once a shift, a dis- |
patcher is treated to Can I ask
you a question?? You just did.
Another response is, This might
be a stupid question...? If you feel "
compelled to say that, then it most
likely is. Someone may be trying
to call the police while hiding in
their closet from an axe murderer,
and youre tying up the 911 line
with a question you know is stupid
to begin with.
The 911 number, being for
emergencies only, is apparently a
mind-boggling concept.
Webster defines an emergency
as an unforeseen combination
of circumstances or the result-
ing state that calls for immediate
action? and an urgent need for
assistance or relief.?
Per Webster, none of the afore-
mentioned constitutes an emer-
gency. Other occurrences such as
reporting larceny days after the
fact, and car accidents from two
weeks ago (because your insurance
company wants a report), are not
emergencies either.
Finally, though I could write an
entire book on this subject, the most
annoying fingernails-on-the-black-
board response to 911? for a dis-
patcher is, I hate to bother you...?
Then dont.

On May 22, North Carolina representative
David Price (D-NC) and Connecticut repre-
sentative Christopher Shays released legisla-
tion that peaked the interest of Congress, and
if passed will benefit college and university
students across the nation. :
The bill proposed, the Roosevelt Scholars
Legislation (H.R. 6160), will provide incentives
for graduate students to serve in federal posi-
tions after graduation. These incentives include
paid tuition, support for room and board and a
monetary stipend.
In turn, Roosevelt Scholars would be required
to complete an internship for a federal agency
while in school and upon graduation, serve three
to five years in a federal service job.
The idea for the bill is modeled after the
ROTC program, which provides students ben-
efits while in school in~exchange for service in
a military branch after graduation.

Many were surprised by Nick
Cannon and Mariah Carey's recent
nuptials, however, Carey told
People magazine in their May 19
issue that since the pair both got
matching tattoos a few weeks
before the wedding, no one should
have really been shocked.
According to People, the wedding
took place at Careys Bahamian estate
on April 30, after the couples brief.
courtship that started in March.
Cannon and Carey are said to
have connected during a meeting
for Careys newest video Bye Bye?

Obama Is praised worldwide
Music made in his
honor can be heard
across the globe
(MCT)
Since the exhaustingly long
Democratic primary opened for
business, a niche art form has blos-
somed in the black diaspora: the
Barack Obama praise song.
The rhythms and melodies
range from Jamaican reggae to
Kenyan benga, but that pulse of a
peoples collective hopes racing into
the ether is unmistakably familiar:
Yes, We Can? sounds the same in
Luo as it does in English.
By the time Puerto Rico puts
a wrap to this extended season of
American political theater with its
June 3 primary, some globetrot-
ting multi-cultural record label--
say, Putumayo or Mango--should
have the goods for a compilation
titled Obama-mania: World
Music Edition.?
Track one could be the
latest endorsement ringing out
of Jamaica: Barack Obama,? a
hastily assembled hard-steppin.
3 ing acknowledgment of what every
reggae tune by the aging yet ever-
eerie crooner Coco Tea. The 48-
year-olds grizzled lilt is a voice
from a lost generation of digitized
mid-80s pop, a period in reggae
history that rarely gets its dues
outside of Jamaica.
Heretofore, the closest the
singer ever hot-stepped towards "
politics was his seminal satire,
New Immigration Law,? an endur-
ex-pat Rasta knows: The govern-
ment you just cant depend on.?
Documenting offense after offense,
the songs ultimate message is less
apolitical than anti-politicai--the
singer is in line with a long Ras-
tafarian tradition that views the
Western political system as irre-
deemably corrupt. So to hear this
chap waving hosannas for the next
president of the United States? is a
bit of a shocker.
The musical ace flows
from Coco Teas zealous repeti-
tion of the words Barack Obama,

ECU and the Magnolia Art Center pre-
sented the 2008 Blu Moon Film Festival on
Saturday, May 3.
This day long event offered a variety of
_workshops and panel discussions, followed
by a red carpet gala final screening of the
prize-winning films in the A.J. Fletcher
Music Building at 7 p.m.
The event drew a crowd of over 150 .
people from the eastern part of NC.
The Blu Moon Film Festival dates back.
to 2003 when then senior, Jesse Strong,
fashioned the idea to encourage film, audio
and visual-art students at ECU to get
involved with something new.
The theme of this years event was
to display ECU and Eastern NC student
films and give students and community
-members a chance to gain knowledge from
working professionals.
Film categories ranged from drama,
comedy, broadcast and documentary.
Nearly 50 submissions were received
from NC high schools, ECU, UNCW and
universities in Virginia.
A variety of free panel discussions were
offered throughout the day on Saturday.

NEW BILL continued from page 5
a better investment the federal gov-
ernment can make than in training
and invigorating its future leaders.?
Any student attending an
accredited institution as a full-
time graduate student studying
an approved concentration would
be eligible for the program.
Some of these approved? con-
centrations include law, science,
engineering and public health.
Students going to school for
their masters or doctoral degrees
would be eligible as well.
Because of the federal govern-
ments hiring crisis, the bill would
be a winner for the federal govern-
ment who needs to fill critical jobs
with younger, talented individuals.
According to a recent study by the
Partnership for Public Service,
the federal government will need
to fill 193,000 mission critical?
positions by 2009. According to the
proposal for the Roosevelt Scholars
program, the federal government
is competing for an increasingly
-smaller pool of individuals that
specialize in widely desired fields.
In the face of a dwindling
professional workforce, we must
act now to recruit the scientists,
engineers, and other high-level
experts who make our government
work,? said Rep. Price. Our initia-
tive would mobilize the countrys
colleges and universities to address
this very acute challenge.?
The bill would also benefit
graduate students, who, without
scholarship assistance, would be
facing tens of thousands of dollars
in debt after graduation. According
to the National Center for Educa-
tion Statistics, students going to
school for masters degrees aver-
aged a total of $32,900 in debt
after graduation. Students receiv-
ing higher-level degrees incurred
anywhere from about $41,000
for doctorates and MBAs to over
$125,000 for M.D. degrees, accord-
ing to the center.
If passed, the bill would pay for
an individuals educational needs up
to $60,000 a year.

On his first trip to Kenya, the sena-

one another, and so impressed by

Obama decided to give the guy
100,000 Kenyan shillings (U.S.
$1,600, roughly) to buy a guitar
and spread his message. Heres how
Nyanga characterizes the anthems

dancehalls usually go into a frenzy

was harping about.
The Extra Golden.tune is a
refreshing contribution to the
Obama cannon--unlike the rest,
_its penned in thoughtful apprecia-
tion for the politician, dealing in
results already delivered, rather
than change anticipated.
There are other picks, too.
Ghana's Blakk Rasta has an omi-
nous crunk-dancehall sound for the
candidate, mostly warning Obama
to mind his safety, because there -

Road to Omaha begins in Conway, SC for ECU Baseball
Pirates eliminated

KELLEN HOLTZMAN
SPORTS EDITOR
It wasnt the Cary or Raleigh
Regional many expected, but ECU
is headed to the NCAA ~Tournament
just the same.
The Pirates (40-19) were placed
in the Conway, SC Regional hosted
by Coastal Carolina (47-12). ECU
earned a No. 2 seed and will face No.

The No. 1 seed Chanticleers will do
battle with No. 4 Columbia (22-28) in
the opening game of the bracket.
ECU head coach Billy Godwin
expects Pirate supporters to show
up in full force for the regional.
Its a short trip and thats
good for our fans,? said Godwin.
Im excited because the ~Pirate

are going to want to get down there
and support our program.?
Coastal Carolina may not have
national name-recognition, but are
well known to those who follow
college baseball closely. °
The Chanticleers are 10-time
Big South Champions and have six
NCAA regional appearances in the
last seven years.
Last season, Coastal hosted a
regional but were forced to play in
nearby Myrtle Beach due to sta-
dium restrictions. The Chanticleers
were eliminated by Clemson.
This season, Coastal was any-
thing but a lock to host a regional.
The Chanticleers are currently
ranked as high as No. 13 in the
NCBWA poll but as low as No. 21
in the Collegiate Baseball poll.
Unlike last year, Coastal will
be hosting the regional at its own
stadium in Conway, SC. This
should give the Chanticleers the
advantage they have been searching
for in recent years.

ECU senior catcher/third base-
man Corey Kemp entered the
2008 season carrying a modest
reputation as a solid catcher and a
good teammate.
The 2008 season will end
with Kemp having been named
the C-USA Player of the Year, a
semi-finalist for the Dick Howser
ng?
Trophy, at least a semi-finalist
for the Johnny Bench Award (for
the nations top catcher) and a
finalist for the USA Baseball
Golden Spikes Award (for the
nations top player).
ECU head coach Billy Godwin
had a clue Kemp was special, just
not this special. |
I wouldn't have bet against
it,? said Godwin, about whether
he envisioned such a spectacular
season from Kemp. But I would
have never said that I would be
standing right here saying that he
was Conference USA Player of the
Year, finalist for the Johnny Bench
Award and those things.?
Kemp batted .267 with five
home runs and 41 RBI in 2007, a far
cry from this seasons .358 batting
' average. TheFranklin, TN native
led C-USA in home runs (15) and
RBI (66) while batting .319 with 10
homers and 38 RBI in league play.
Upon further inspection, base-
ball followers will find Kemp is not
just an overnight sensation;? the
clues rest in his first season as a
Pirate in 2007.
Kemp developed a propensity

for clutch hitting, with six game

able .308 with three home runs and
23 RBI in C-USA play but hit just

JARED JACKSON
STAFF WRITER
When news broke that owners
of NFL teams opted out of the
current labor deal with the play-
ers union in 2011, and how an
uncapped year is a possibility in
2010, the first thing to come to
my mind was the idea of teams:
stockpiling talent.
In the day and time when money
is king, teams like the Washington
Redskins and Dallas Cowboys have
a certain advantage in an uncapped
year, as both squads basically have
an unlimited supply of cash.
Players like Julius Peppers,
Steven Jackson, Terrell Owens, T.J.
Houshmandzadeh, Brandon Jacobs,
Roy Williams (Lions), Albert
Haynesworth and Tommie Harris
could all potentially be a part of the
2009 free agent class.
So should fans of teams with
less money to deal out be worried?
Yes, but not completely, as the NFL
has certain conditions attached to
an uncapped year.
According to Jarrett Bell of USA
Today, the conditions are as follows:
the top-eight playoff finishers
from the previous season would be
allowed to sign free agents only at
the rate at which they lose them;.
Players would need six, rather than
four, NFL seasons to be eligible
for free agency, and each team
would be allowed to restrict two
eligible free agents with fran-
chise? or transition? player tags,
rather than one.
A season without a salary cap
could be quite the turning point
for the NFL. The main question is
whether current players will return
to a capped year after playing in an
uncapped year. , 3
According to USA Today, exec-
utive director of the NFL Players
Association Gene Upshaw said
that players would receive more

of nine SEC teams to make the NCAA field and also finished
second in the SECs Western Division. Columbia received an
automatic bid after claiming the Ivy League championship.
ECU is looking to bounce back from a mediocre per-
formance in the C-USA tournament in New Orleans.
The No. 5 seed Pirates were sent into the losers
bracket on the first day with a heartbreaking loss to
No. 4 Houston.
Brandon Henderson smacked a double off the left
field wall in the tenth inning, scoring Corey Kemp
from first base and giving ECU a 4-3 lead.
Houstons Zak Presley answered with a bases loaded
single to give the Cougars a 5-4 extra innings win.
We have to relax and leave the game to us and
focus on what we do,? Godwin said. The effort was
there [against Houston], we were just trying to make
~ too much happen.?
ECU didnt stay down long--the Pirates responded
nationally ranked Rice.
Senior T.J. Hose threw 4.1 innings of hitless base-
ball in a winning relief appearance. Kemp and Roller
each blasted solo home runs and Harrison Eldridge

ECU was eliminated after another close loss to
Houston. The Pirates took an early 1-0 lead but gave
up two runs in the sixth, giving the Cougars all they
would need to preserve a victory.
I still dont think we've played a series yet where
we've played complete,? Godwin said. That's kind of
scary because I think thats certainly possible for this club
to do and I believe they believe its going to happen.?
C-USA Freshman of the Year Seth Maness will take
the mound for the Pirates in the opener against Alabama.
Maness finished the regular season with a 9-1 record
and a 2.79 ERA, being the third lowest in the league. ~The
young right-hander finished with a team-best 75 strike-
outs and walked only 17 batters in 84 innings pitched.
-Maness is confident he can make the transition to
playing on a bigger stage.
Just go out there and try to do everything that Ive been
doing all year,? said Maness. Throw strikes, let the defense
play behind me, and let the offense do what they do.?
Kemp makes no bones about the teams expecta-
tions heading into NCAA play.
He believes that ECU could be in the College |
World Series as early as this year.
Each year the goal is not to make it to the regional
or the super regional, its to make it to Omaha,? Kemp
said. We put forth a tremendous effort this year. If
we play well and get hot at the right time, the sky is
the limit--and thats Omaha.?

than the 60% of total revenue
that is currently central to the rift
with owners in an uncapped year.
Upshaw, however, is advising play-
ers to sign long-term deals if the
numbers are right.
The last uncapped year for the
NFL came in 1993 and Upshaw
has called the 2010 uncapped
season a point of no return in
saying that players would not
settle for a salary cap again.
NFL commissioner Roger
Goodell disagrees and has stated
since the owners opted out last
Tuesday that players would agree "
to a salary cap.
So what brought about this
possible doomsday scenario for
the NFL last Tuesday? Accord-
ing to Upshaw, an e-mail from
Goodell named three key reasons
for the owners opting out. Those
reasons were high labor costs,
problems with rookie contracts,
and the league's inability to recoup
bonuses of players who do not
abide by their contract.
The current deal, signed two
years ago, was to remain in effect
until 2013 but had an option to opt
out in 2011, which is exactly what
happened last week.
Now the sights are turned
to when a possible deal might
be struck between the sides, but
according to both sides that might
take many years.
We'd like to get things done,?
Goodell] said last week in an ESPN
interview. But often its not until
you have a deadline that people
realize the consequences of not
reaching a deal,
March of 2010--thats what we
see as the realistic deadline, Upshaw.
said, according to ESPN. Im not
going to sell the players on a cap
again. Once we go through the cap,
why should we agree to it again??
As the months tick away with-
out an agreement, the possibility
of an uncapped season becomes a
high likelihood.
While the NFL is worried
about an uncapped season, a more
troublesome possibility remains
on the horizon. The possibility of
a lockout in 2011 is looming, which
means no football will be played.
We have guaranteed three
more years of NFL football,?
Goodell said last Tuesday. We
are not in dire straits. But the
agreement isnt working, and we're
looking to get a more fair and
equitable deal.? .

Kemp expects the Pirates to be serious contenders to reach Omaha.
winning home run against
Western Carolina. .
Last year I had a disappoint-
ing season, said Kemp. I was
a little embarrassed. This year
I really wanted to show what
kind of player I was. Last year, I
knew I was a better player than I
showed...so, I took the summer off
from baseball and just worked on
strength and conditioning, tried to
fine-tune some points of my game.
I worked with my coaches day in
and day out and that really made a
difference for me.?
Pirate baseball fans really
began to take note of those dif-
ferences in a March matchup
with Houston. Kemp exploded for
three home runs (3-4) in a 15-4
assault on the Cougars. Kemp
went on to finish the season with
20 multi-hit games, 17 multi-RBI
games, and 11 game-winning RBI
including a walk-off bomb against
Marshall in April.
At the beginning of the season,
Kemp was named one of three
captains on the team along with
T.J. Hose and Drew Schieber.
His leadership is valuable in the
catcher position, especially with
so many inexperienced pitchers to
keep 1 in ine=-"
Corey catching behind the
plate--you couldnt ask for any-
thing more back there,? said C-
USA Freshman of the Year Seth
Maness. He just does a great job
keeping you relaxed. [Its] really
all I need.?
Kemp stayed close to home
after high school, opting to play for
Tennessee Tech. After a one-year
stint at Tech, Corey moved on to
Young Harris, a junior college. A
visit to ECU with outfielder Trent
Ashcraft, a Young Harris team-
mate at the time, prompted Kemp
to finish his career as a Pirate.
IT came toa football game and
fell in love with the fans: the whole
atmosphere that ECU brings, the
tradition, the pride that everybody
takes in being a Pirate,? Kemp
said of ECUs lure. I met fans at a
football game that had just bought
their season tickets for baseball,
so that really opened up my eyes
to what kind of tradition and what
kind of excitement people around
here have for ECU athletics and the
school in general.?
Kemps newfound success
means new attention from Major
League Baseball scouts. Its no
secret that he will be drafted; the
only questions are when and where.
With MLB waiting to snatch hun-
dreds of young players as soon as
the college baseball season ends,
focusing on the task at hand can
become problematic.
You try to focus on the season
but I'd lie if I said I didnt think-
about it [the draft],? Kemp said.
There's a good chance I'll hear
my name called but you try to put
it in the back of your mind and just
focus on the season and deal with
that when the season is over.?
Looking at the improvement
he has made throughout his career,
Kemp looks like he has the skills
and the work ethic necessary to
succeed on the next level.
In the meantime, Kemp is busy
leading the Pirates to the NCAA
Regional. Expectations for the
team range in the Pirate Nation.
With ECU playing as a No. 2
seed, many fans would be happy
with a trip to the Super Regional;
however, there is-only one
destination to meet Kemps expec-
tations: Omaha.
