NEWS EDITOR
The Thomas Harriot College of Arts and
Sciences at ECU has recently received a new
staff member--Jennifer Tripp, an alumna and
employee of ECU, has taken the position of
Director of Development.
As the new Director of Development,
Tripp will work with Dean Alan White and
Major Gifts Officer Scott Wells. Tripp hopes
to use her prior experiences at. ECU along
with her knowledge and skills to create a
lasting bond between the college and its alumni
and donors.? ;
Initially, Tripp would like to make her-
self known to the colleges faculty, staff
and friends.
I want to get acquainted with external and
internal constituents of the college as quickly
as possible,? Tripp said. Id like to achieve the
level of funding needed for the college, while
at the same time reconnecting and involving
alumni with their professors and departments
that they spent so much time with.?
Tripp graduated from ECU with her Bach-
elor of Science degree in sociology with a minor
in law and society in 2005.
Tripp feels that since she received her
degree from the Thomas Harriot College of
Arts and Sciences, she now has valuable insight
that she can apply to her current position.
I feel I have a better understanding of the
liberal arts,? Tripp said.
She also believes her understanding
will help make it an easy transition into her
current position.
Thanks to Tripps studies of sociology
and social environment, she believes she has
acquired knowledge that will assist in her inter-
actions with the colleges alumni and donors.
I want to continue to learn and expand
within the university development field, build-
ing lasting relationships,? she said about carry-
ing on her career endeavors at ECU.
Tripp previously held positions with ECU
football and baseball and was involved with
managing athletic operations and coordinating
recruiting efforts.
Also, while Tripp attended ECU, she served
as the alumni relations coordinator for Sigma
Sigma Sigma sorority and was an ambassador for
~the Greenville Area Chamber of Commerce.

antibacterial research
awarded more than
$700,000
JIMMY GALLOWAY
STAFF WRITER
On June 1, the
Defense Threat
Reduction Agency
of the Depart-
ment of Defense
awarded Dr. Rickey
Hicks more than
$400,000 for his
bacterial peptides.
riot College of 8
Arts and Sciences
at ECU, is collaborating with
the Walter Reed Army Institute
of Research (WRAIR) in Silver
Springs, MD, on a study he cre-
ated in 2008 titled Antimicrobial
Drug Development.?
The study seeks to research a
class of unnatural peptides that are
designed to kill bacterial cells.
They are attracted to the
membranes of bacteria,? said Hicks.
Then they punch holes in the mem-
brane, killing the bacterial cell.?
The peptides are effective against
both gram-positive and gram-nega-
tive bacteria. They also work against
drug-resistant infections, such as
MRSA. Because the peptides origi-
nated in reptiles, they dont recognize
the cells of mammals, including
humans. This has the effect of an
extremely low toxicity.
The peptides that Hicks and his
collaborators are researching are
based on natural peptides found in
the skin of crocodiles. According
to Hicks, a biologist noticed that
crocodiles in the Amazon would
fight and wound each other, but
they never got infections from
the water. However, a person who
got into the water with even a
small cut would very likely get a
bacterial infection.
The peptide in the skin of the
crocodile was
soon isolated,
and research-
ers found it
worked well for
healing wounds
and prevent-
ing infection.
Unfortunately,
the peptide had
too short a lifes-
pan for practical
medicinal use.
What Hicks
and his collabo-
rators have done
is take amino acids that dont occur
in nature, and synthesizing peptides
that mimic the natural ones, with the
benefit of a much longer lifespan.
We build the peptides almost
to specifications " certain parts for
longer half-life, selectivity, things
like that,? Hicks said.
There are two tests for the
project before clinical develop-
ment. The first, which has been
conducted successfully before, is
to determine whether the pep- .
tides can cure an infection of
gram-positive and gram-negative ©
bacteria. For the test, the infec-
tions used will be anthrax and the
bubonic plague.
There is no FDA-approved
treatment for anthrax or plague, so
the peptides success against them
is important,? Hicks said.
The second test will be to

communications director for the
~G.K. Butterfield campaign. It can.
be a way to keep gas prices high,
which keeps profits high. ~We have
seen record profits [for gas and oil
companies] recently.?
Willis is right"according to
the US Congressional Research
Service, ExxonMobile made $40.6
billion in profits in 2007, Royal
Dutch Shell made $27.5 billion and
BP pocketed 17.2 billion"all using
a fraction of available land.
The debate should not be
whether to further expand drilling
off the shores of places like NC,
but why oil and gas companies are
stockpiling and sitting idle on the
existing opportunities,? Butterfield
said. Rather than debate risky off-
shore drilling schemes, we need to
~be holding gas and oil companies
accountable for failing to act on the
existing opportunities.?

determine the effectiveness of the
peptides in preventing infection. This
is especially important for anthrax,
which would indicate that the pep-
tides prevent spore germination.
This year is the ~make-or-break
year for the project,? Hicks said. If
the tests are successful, the next
stage is clinical development.?
According to Hicks, it was difficult
to transition the project from WRAIR
to ECU when he came here in 2006.
But,? he said, It was defi-
nitely worthwhile. The benefits and
increased chances of success for the
- project far outweigh the difficulties of
transitioning. The medical school, the
NC Biotechnology Center and ECUs
pharmaceutical chemistry program
are all helping the research.?
If the tests are successful, the US
Army will license the technology to
a private company, which will work
with ECU to conduct clinical tests.
That is also the point where Hicks
personal involvement will decline.
Im just a chemist,? Hicks said, .
After it gets out of here, Im an

RANT OF THE DAY
To all the chicks who wear spandex:
thank you. Ya'll are the only reason | go
to class.
Opinion
{ www.theeastcarolinian.com } -
Not my parties...
And I'll cry if | want to
J.D. LEWIS
OPINION EDITOR
_ In 2006, the Democratic Party won control of both houses of Congress
on a platform of change. Things changed all right; they got worse. Don't
get me wrong. After 12 years of Republicans in power, the country desper-
ately needed a change of direction--its just a shame that the Democrats
were the only alternative. After all, they were thrown out 12 years before
for much the same reason the Republicans were two years ago.
Now were right back where we started from. The Democrats are going
to change everything again with the help of Barack Obama. Obama has yet to
tell us how hes going to change things, but hes going to do it nonetheless.
Frankly, Barack Obama and even John McCain are incapable of real
change. They'll just put forth another version of the same thing. There
are very few new ideas being put on the table, and nearly 23.6 million
Independent voters"including myself"have no true representation.
I left the Republican Party four years ago in protest of what I viewed
as increased suppression of civil liberties by all levels of government.
That being the case, the Democratic Party certainly wasnt an option for
me. The Libertarian Party seemed to best fit my needs, so I changed my
voter registration in time for the 2004 elections. :
Shortly thereafter however, me and thousands of other NC Libertar-
ians received word that we would become unaffiliated registrants thanks
to NCs asinine ballot access laws, some of the most restrictive in the
country. To qualify as an official political party in this state, the party's
candidates for president and governor had to have received 10 percent of
the popular vote in the previous election.
With the major parties so entrenched, 10 percent is wishful thinking
for anyone not associated with the two. And since the Republicans and
Democrats are the ones who write the laws, they have effectively shut the
smaller parties out and ensured their continued domination. Until this
year, thanks to a petition drive and help from the courts, the Libertarian
Party lost its status as a party in NC, and the Democrats and Republicans
have continued their stranglehold on state and national government.
America is the only major democracy I am aware of with a legislative
branch made up of only two parties. The French Parliament is made up
of members from 15 different parties. Italy has 13, Britain 11, Australia
nine, Japan eight, Israel seven, Germany. six and Canada four, with an
independent or two scattered throughout several.
The US House has no independent representatives, and the Senate
has only two independent Democratic clones: Socialist Bernie Sanders of
Vermont and Joe Lieberman of Connecticut.
I was a strong supporter of Sen. Lieberman's independent bid, and had hoped
that after the shabby way he was treated by fellow Democrats following the 2006
primary, he would tell Harry Reid, Hillary Clinton, et al where they could go
" while resisting Republican overtures " and become a true independent voice in
the Senate for the millions of us with no voice ... and possibly a viable independent
presidential candidate in 08. But he has since been quoted as saying, Call me
a Democrat,? and although he has endorsed John McCain for President, he still
caucuses with the Democrats on their other pet issues. Thanks, Joe.
The time is right for a strong third party movement in this country. I'd
like to think that the last election " and probably the one coming up " was
not so much an endorsement of the Democrats as it was a repudiation of the
Republicans. Think what could have happened in this country had there
been other viable alternatives to the Democrats ... and Republicans.
Most of the countries I mentioned earlier have so many parties that
they are forced to form coalition governments. More voices are heard, and
a broader spectrum of ideas is presented " not two versions of the same
thing like in the United States. None of those other countries have been
plunged into chaos as a result, and it won't spell certain doom for this
country if the Democrats and Republicans lose some of their grip either.
As far as the 08 election, Im taking a closer look at Bob Barr, the Lib-
ertarian nominee for President. I hope a lot more people will do the same.

ELISE PHILLIPS
Greenville doctor Paul Camnitzs exhibit will hang in Emerge Gallery until July 12, featuring his global travels.
EDITOR IN CHIEF
Dr. Paul Camnitz is not a pro-
fessional photographer. Actually,
hes the Head of the Division
of Otolaryngology and Head of
Neck surgery for ECUs Brody
School of Medicine.
Although hes a doctor by
day, an Emerge Gallery employee
thought that his photographs of
places around the world were good
enough to hang in the Gallery.
Camnitzs work features what
he calls the memories? of the once-
world--hes already been to about
30 countries all over the planet.
He captures the essence of
the location through people, archi-
tecture and the land,? said Vicky
Fanberg, exhibition and event coor- -
dinator for Emerge Gallery. Most
photos are original film with only
_a few being digital.?
The current exhibit at the Gal-
lery contains some: of Camnitzs
photographs from places like Swit-
zerland, Myanmar, Botswana,
Nepal and Argentina, and will be
shown at Emerge until July 12.
While his Emerge counterparts
saw something in his work, Camnitz
doesn't see himself as a photographer,
but as a person who takes pictures,?
and admits that he was nervous when
asked to exhibit some of his photo-
graphs in the Gallery.
Ive always taken pictures more
for memory than for display,? he
said. Other people have said that
I ought to display [my pictures]
sometime because the interest is not
only in the photograph, but also in
the country that it was taken.?
Camnitz has been taking pho-
tographs since 1979, and for the
last few years has been donat-
ing his work to various auctions
around Greenville.
Camnitz says that he isnt trying
to make a statement with his photo-
graphs, but merely wanting to capture a
memory from the places hes traveled.
[ What inspired me to take
these pictures] is mainly their
faces, their expressions, the fact
that people are people no matter
where you find them,? Camnitz
said. The families in Nepal love

A growing body of research shows that
fruits and vegetables are critical to promoting
good health.
To get the amount thats recommended, most
people will need to increase the amount of fresh
fruits and vegetables they currently eat every
day. For the day-to-day lives of many people,
eating healthy has become an afterthought; how-
_ ever, fruits and vegetables are a natural source of
_ energy and give the body many nutrients people
need to 2 going throughout the day.
According to the Produce for a Better Health
Foundation,-low-fat diets rich in fruits and veg-
etables and low in saturated fat and cholesterol '
may reduce the risk of heart disease and some
types of cancer. Many people do not realize
however, that the color of the foods they eat can
play a part in their overall health.
Eating red fruits and vegetables is good
for you, they provide powerful antioxidants
_ and lycopene,? said Jason Sparrow, an incoming -
ECU nutrition and dietetics major.
However, Sparrow stated that he was not
aware of the health importance of green veg-
etables"like many young college students.
I was just always told to eat my broccoli
and peas, as a kid I just thought it was gross,
not healthy,? Said sophomore communications.
major Stacey Hart:
Going green? in your diet: the healthy way
But the benefits of green vegetables are two-
fold: they provide nutrients as well as antioxidants
to maintain and promote good health. Cruciferous
vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage, bok choy and
brussel sprouts have been studied for their role in
protecting against breast and prostate cancer.
Green leafy vegetables and fruits such as
kale, peas; spinach and kiwi are known for
containing lutein and zeaxanthin, two powerful
antioxidants that help to maintain good vision
health. In many cases, the deeper and darker the"
color of the fruit or vegetable, the greater the
amount of nutrients it contains. For example,
spinach offers eight times more vitamin C than
iceberg lettuce. There are numerous green fruits

FEATURES EDITOR
The 2008 Summer Olympics
will be celebrated from August
8, 2008 to August 24, 2008, with
the opening ceremony beginning
in the Beying National Stadium in
Beying, China.
The Olympic Games were
awarded to Beijing, after a ballot
of the International Olympic
Committee on July 13, 2001. The
Olympic slogan, One World, One
Dream,? calls upon the. world to
unite in the Olympic spirit, and
athletes will compete in 302 events
in 28 sports categories.
According to the Beijing
Olympics official Web site the
slogan, fully reflects the essence
and the universal values of the
Olympic. spirit -- Unity, Friend-
ship, progress, harmony, participa-
tion and dream. It expresses the
common wishes of people all over
differences in colors, , languages
and races, we share the charm and
_ joy of the Olympic Games, and
together we seek for the ideal of
mankind for peace. We belong to
the same world and we share the
same aspirations and dreams.?
This years Olympics have
been looked upon with controversy
due to Chinas actions in Tibet;
however, the concerns are mir-
rored with hope as China emerges
on the world stage.
Beijing has started cleaning
up its act in many areas in order
to prepare for the games. The
Beijing government has circulated
pamphlets urging police officers to

Students can cut rising energy costs simply, eayy
Tips for the penny
pincher in all of us
VERONICA CARRINGTON
FEATURES EDITOR
With summer kicking into
gear across the country, you can
literally hear the drone of air con-
ditioners turning on all over the
US, and as the days get hotter the
energy bills get higher.
These days, the average house-
hold spends $1900 annually on
energy (based on electricity and
gas usage), according to the Envi-
ronmental Protection Agency
(EPA). However, much of that
energy is wasted money, says
energy conservationists.
But college students especially
are feeling the effects of the high
prices of energy usage.
Jennifer George, a senior com-
munications major at ECU, stated
that her electricity bill with four
other roommates last month was
about $1000. Thats $250.00 per
roommate on energy alone.
So what can students do to
lower the costs during the summer?
Luckily, you can do right by the
~ environment and your budget with-
Utility costs, once a fairly small
sliver of a family budget, are eating
up an ever greater share of monthly
incomes. in addition, consumers
have added new services, such as

out any major lifestyle sacrifices.
According to the EPA, by
taking some relatively painless
steps, you can cut your bills by
one-third or more.
1) Upgrade to a program-
mable thermostat.
These devices allow you to cool
your home at different temperatures
at specific times. For example, turn
down the AC during the day when
no one is in your home and then turn
it up again 30 minutes before you or
someone else is due to arrive home.
According to the U.S. Department
of Energy (DOE), you could. cut
your heating and cooling bills by
10 percent annually just by turning
your thermostat back 10 percent to
15 percent for eight hours a day.

but it will save us a ton of money,? said
Georges roommate, junior psychol-
ogy major Caitlyn Donnelley.
2) Keep your AC unit clean.
To kick the summer off, your AC
unit should have a professional tune
up (expect to pay somewhere between
$90 and $120), says Maria Vargas, an
Energy Star spokesperson at the EPA.
Also, air-conditioning filters should
be checked every month to see if they
need cleaning or replacement.
oy Get ofan;
This simple tip will cut back on
your energy costs dramatically.
4) Turn it off.
For those dedicated hairdryer
and curling iron users as well as TV
watchers, unplug your stuff! Even
when all of your home electron-
ics are turned off, many continue
to suck down energy. In fact, idle
TVs cost US consumers $600 mil-
lion annually, or $5 per household,
according to the'EPA. If an item is
not in use, plug it into a power strip
and cut the entire strip off when you
are not around to use it.
5) © -Go green:
This will require some work;
however, the benefits outweigh the
effort. Planting just three shady
trees around your house can whack
$100 to $250 off your annual heat-
ing and cooling costs, according to
the DOE. Leafy trees shield your
home from direct sunlight, keeping
temperatures down.
These easy steps can help you
stay on top of the rising prices due
to energy costs as well as help ease
the pain of high bills.

Derrick Rose has the ability to

of leadership, athletic ability, ball

His ability to get to the rim,
break down defenses and create
off the dribble are some of his
best assets.
He can score from anywhere

any spot on the court he wants.
His 15 points per game last season
at Memphis seems a mild tally for

SPORTS EDITOR
The month of June isnt often
associated with college basketball,
unless you are keeping an rhs on the
NBA draft.
Yet, spring and early summer have
been particularly noteworthy for ECU?
basketball.
In addition to signing his fourth
recruit for the upcoming 2008-
2009 season, head coach Mack
McCarthy recently welcomed a new
member to his staff.
John Moseley was named the
new Director of Basketball Opera-
tions three weeks ago. Moseley, an
ECU graduate, joins the Pirates
from Winston-Salem State, where
he served as an assistant coach.
Before his stint with the Win-
_ ston-Salem, Moseley was a part
of up-and-coming coach Brad
Brownells administrative staff at
Wright State as well, preceded by a
spell as an assistant at Delaware.

aging director Jerry Colangelo
said during a news conference.
The next step is to bring home

Although the Americans cap-
tured the gold at the Sydney Games
in 2000, they no longer dominate °
international play as they once did.
The talent gap has narrowed, and
many top players have chosen to
not play for the national team in
recent years.
Now, the U.S. team appears
loaded. Then again, the Americans
went 5-3 in Athens and lost for
the first time since NBA players
started competing in 1992 even
though they had James, Anthony,
Wade and Tim Duncan. That
group was routed by Puerto Rico
before losing to Lithuania and
Argentina, but this one is confi-
dent it will take the gold.
Its really the worlds game.

Handsfield earns prestigious honor
Handsfield receives
C-USA-Sportsmanship
Award
(ECU SID)
East Carolina University swim-
mer Geoff Handsfield has been
selected as one of three student-
athletes to receive the 2008 Confer-
ence USA Sportsmanship Award
announced Commissioner Britton
Banowsky today. The conference
sportsmanship awards are pre-
sented to student-athletes, coaches
or teams that perform an individual
act of sporting behavior or gener-
ally conduct themselves with a high
degree of good sportsmanship.
The other individuals recognized
for the 2007-08 season were Andy
Smith of the University of Memphis
and Tara Watts of Rice University.
Handsfield has participated in
the championship final in all three
of his individual events at the last
four C-USA Championship Invita-
tionals. He was voted captain of the
team as a sophomore and has held
that distinction for the last three
seasons. The senior compiled a 3.97
GPA in physics and was on the Stu-
dent Athlete Advisory Committee
_ the last two years. The Morehead
City, N.C. native coordinated of all
the swim teams community ser-
vice activities, including working
with the Pitt County Latino stu-
dents, Project ARISE, Pitt County
Humane Society, the Special Olym-
pics and the ALS Walk.
He recently received one of 11
Conference USA Postgraduate schol-
arship awards as well as being named
second-team Academic All-America
for a second consecutive season.
Smith is a veteran offensive line-
man for the Tigers football team.
He helped anchor the offense and
is one of the vocal leaders on the
squad. Smith also leads by example
on and off the field and takes his
role as a leader very seriously. The
senior has participated in various
community service events, including
speaking to elementary school chil-
dren and working youth football
camps. On Martin Luther King Day,
he joined several other Tiger ath-
letes in volunteering at the National
Civil Rights Museum and he often
speaks to students at Sea Isle Elemen-
tary School. Most recently, Smith
helped raise money for St. Judes
Childrens Research Hospital through

Watts just concluded her
second season with the Rice

Eagle. It just wasnt the right
situation for me. There was no bad

McCarthy believes it is unfair
to point the finger at ECU when
programs around the country are
suffering the same transfer losses.
You look at what happened at
Indiana, Duke lost a kid, Carolina lost
a kid,? said McCarthy. Its not ECU;
its anational epidemic where kids just
want some immediate gratification.
....1 sure hope we get some
stability with this team and I feel
really good about the group we've
got coming back.?
After an incredibly successful
spring recruiting period, ECU
will be reloading with seemingly
better talent. : y
The class is headlined by 6-foot-
ECU SID
8 forward Darrius Morrow, who
originally committed to play for
Dave Odom at South Carolina, but
the Georgia prep star had a change
of heart after a coaching change.
Morrow, the 30th-best power
forward prospect in the nation
according to ESPN.com, is poised
to figure prominently in addressing
the Pirates biggest need, a threat
in the post.
Obviously with the attrition
that we had, the inside situa-
tion needed to be addressed,?
said McCarthy. But we're for-
tunate that Chad Wynne and
Daquan Joyner are two of the most
improved guys on the team along
with Jamar Abrams, who can play
inside and out.?
Chris Turner, a 6-foot-5 guard
out of Humble Christian Life Center
in Texas, is expected to provide the
Pirates with a player who can create
his own shot. The Durham native
has also developed a reputation for
being a pure shooter and having the |
ability to finish above the rim.
- Just last week, McCarthy secured
the services of another point guard,
Chris Kupets. At 5-foot-11, Kupetss " |
shooting ability allows him to func-
tion as acombo guard in addition to
his role at point.
Fans may be familiar with
Kupetss sister, Courtney, who
starred for the U.S. Womens
Gymnastics Team during the 2004
Olympic Games.
ECU signed Greenville native
and Louisburg College standout,
Raheem Smith in the fall recruiting
period. The 6-foot-2 Smith is also »
expected to serve as a combo guard.
When Chris Turner visits
Maryland and Wake [Forest] and
Seton Hall and Darrius Morrow
signed with South Carolina and
visited Auburn--Chris [Kupets]
visited Houston and us and had
other offers to go places. Thats
a really positive sign that we're
recruiting the right people.?
ECU will certainly need all the
help it can get with what is building
up to be a very challenging schedule
- that includes three ACC teams.
The Pirates will hit the road for
contests against Clemson and NC
State while dates with George Mason
and in-state rivals Wake Forest high-
light the home schedule.

Roses situation mirrors
that of LeBron James in 2003,

his hometown team, were on

Rose, a Chicago product, has?
professed his desire to suit up for
his hometown Bulls.
With Rose, the Bulls know
exactly what they are getting; a
hometown kid who dreamed of "
_ playing for them growing up and
a scoring point guard who can
help them immediately and will
fit in well with the talent they
already have. _
The Bulls have a stable of
