A Rediscovered Treasure
2006
EAST CAROLINA UNIVERSITY

When each member of East Carolina Universitys team
epped onto campus for the first time something caught
their eye and told them that this is where they belonged.
Whether you were a student attending classes for the first time, a professor holding
your first lecture, or an administrator having your first meeting, a part of ECU stood out
in your mind, reassuring you that the rest of your future would begin here.
Some say it was the well-groomed grounds that made them choose ECU. Others claim
that the charming toll of the clock each hour was the comfort they needed to join the
family. Many, however, based their decision on the university's reputation for excellence
and success in developing the leaders of tomorrow

The reason you made ECU your
home is not the most important
factor. It is instead that you took the
most important step to creating the
person you would become.
Many of these steps were taken
on August 24th as the 2005-2006
academic year began, hosting 1,442
full-time faculty members, 3,200
staff members, and over 23,000
Stuagents on the universitys 4./
million square foot campus.
While these people may seem
to be no different than the countless
others associated with colleges
around the world, those who are
involved with ECU know that is not
the case.
mt POU each person is truly
unique. Everyone is from somewhere
different and has something new to
teach you. The small towns, huge

cities, various states and diverse
countries of the world unite on
Our university to meet a central
goal, to improve the quality of
lite through education. W ale
our homes may have decided
where our high schools would be, our
hearts decided where we would go to
collece. ECU captites differcnccs,
likenesses, individuality, and unity
but still allows those present to
find and make friendships that last
a lifetime.
When we look back on our
years here we will be reminded of
how hectic move-in days were and
how great it was the day our biology
labs Where canceled because of
impending snow flurries. We will
recall the girl who moved into the
room next door because her school
mas lost during the tragedy of

eo ee a

" wes

Hurricane Katrina. We will see
pictures of ECUs Army cadets and
be reminded of the war the United
States was in with Iraq and how each
person can make a difference.
A point scored against Duke
might be just the winning touchdown
to another school, but to us and our
fellow students here at East Carolina,
it is a triumph. It was more than a
win, but a success against the odds.
Each team member is more than
an athlete; he is a student, a son, a
friend, and devotion that we all can
understand. His worries are ours
and he understands the pressures
we face.
East Carolina University displays
both passion and purpose with each
new year and shows everyone what
school spirit really is and what it is
like to be a Pirate.

BUCCANEER

The life of a college student isnt always about the
bookish scholars we all know we are deep down inside
somewhere. There is also the night life, the parties and
the night outings. For many of us, the weekend begins on
Thursday.
some students do it; they party all night and
Many outsiders dont understand how

have class the next day while still managing to
keep their grades up. Its hard to be a college
student. We have to study hard and get our
work done so we can go out at night and then
we have to get up for class the next day. It has
definitely taught me the meaning of responsibility,
stated junior Communication major Allie Moore.
A typical college students day starts out as they wake up
at the crack of dawn, or five minutes before their 10 am class
starts and they prepare to make their grand entrance into the
world. They roll out of bed and throw on the closest outfit
Miney
then wearily find their way to class and manage to find a seat
they can find, sometimes matching but not always.
not directly in the teachers vision. Just as they take their
seat, their class begins, they sit through it, and after class its
time to head home or to work.
By the time the student has hit work they are actually
awake, functioning properly, and able to answer questions
with words. After work is over, the student enjoys a quick
but nutritious meal that satisfies the grumbling stomach that
has been fed caffeine all day instead of real food. The nap
which follows dinner happens to be the most important part
of the day. This nap is essential for any partier who intends
to make a full experience out of their night.
After the slumbering student has awoken, they are able to
take a shower and begin to prepare for the night. Preparation
for the night includes making the phone calls to see where
everyone is going and who they will be going with. Next,
of course, comes the phone call to Safe-Ride or the wait for
the bus. These are the two safest routes of transportation to
and from downtown and not to mention in the winter time,
they are also the warmest. On the bus, students run into
other students who are on their way downtown and strike
up interesting and memorable conversations with complete
strangers and possibly even taking pictures. Later on these
pictures will provide for humorous conversations, including
many questions about who they are with in that picture.
College Double Life

As the night continues on the student enjoys the night
away from their studies, books and planners that haunt them
with school tasks that need to be completed. Downtown the
student runs into almost every person they know on campus
and will be hearing stories of these encounters for
weeks to come. However, no night downtown is
perfect and as the inevitable fight ensues, they
are forced to leave and head across the street to
Gli hex le,
When the night winds down to an end,
normally in the wee hours of the morning, the
student then retires to their home where they find
somewhere to sleep, whether it be the sofa, floor or if
theyre lucky their bed. Only a few hours later will the student
wake up to the annoying consistent beep of an alarm clock
ringing in their ear. They steadily sit up, glance around, stand
and prepare for yet another day in their college career.
Time management is something that you learn as
an ECU student, you learn how to stay out until 3 in the
morning and still make it to class at 8) stated senior James
McLeod Holland a Health Service Management major.
Perhaps it is downtown that students are using what they
learn in the classroom, not in the real world.

No Place Like Home
What are the advantages and disadvantages of living
on campus?
Many factors come into play when choosing the
right place to live during your college career. While most
students choose to live in the dorms for at least one
year during their college life, many stay there the
whole time, making lasting friendships with
roommates and people on the same hall. Sure
apartments have their perks, but dorm life can
be easier and more convenient.
"Where you live is much more than
just a place to lay your head at night,
Communications major Jessalyn Santiago
explains. "It decides how you will spend your
free time, what kinds of people you will meet
and much more:
Many people enjoy the security of having
so many people around to hang out with. In
some ways, it is like having a family around
24/7 and many students who meet people in
the dorms are friends with those same people
during their entire college career.
"In the dorms, there is always someone
there to lend you a helping hand or to let you borrow
something when you need it; Soheila Mobarak says. "Also,
there is the trusty resident advisor there to assist you with
any problems you may have and coordinate fun activities
for your hall to grow close
Proximity is a major advantage of living in the dorm.
You are a mere walk away from your classes, the library,
the student health center, dinning halls, the rec center,
downtown and more. Everything you need is right under
your nose, eliminating the need to drive and find parking.
Still, there is constant debate over what is cheaper in
the long run, apartments or dorms?
Dorms are all inclusive, meaning they include, cable,
internet, furniture, water/sewer, and electricity. Many

"Where you
live is more
than just a
place to lay
your head"

students struggle to pay for college so money is a major
thing to consider when looking for a place to live.
On the other hand, many people love to move into
apartments for the luxury of more space and privacy. It
is often a lot nicer to have a full size kitchen,
your own washer and dryer, larger closets, and
your own bathroom, not to mention saying
"goodbye" to shower shoes.
"I want am apartment because @
won't have to live in one tiny room with
another person; Freshman Paige Ward explains.

"I am beginning to forget what privacy
really is
While it is nice to be able to escape |
to your own bedroom and be able to �
avoid an annoying roommate, many still
think that the convience of campus life is
unsurpassable.
"You can keep your car outside your
apartment and not have to worry about
getting a parking ticket, which is great,
Jamie Renn says. "But rushing to campus
late and trying to find a parking spot in a
hurry is barely worth it
Many apartments around the university have
amenities like workout facilities, pools, computer rooms
and bus access that help make students' lives much less
complicated.
"With an apartments, you feel more grown up
because you feel like you really have a place to make your
own Jamie West explains. "A few apartments even allow
pets and have more room if your friends want to come
over and hang out!
Whatever place you decide to call home can easily be
enjoyed and even given little touches to make it your own.
As long as you have a roof over your head and a warm
bed to snuggle in, you'll be set for college life.

this or heard it spoken at some point over the past two
years. You may be entirely opposed to the concept or you
may have just tried to add the guy who sat behind you at
The Croatan to your friends list, but youve heard of it
nonetheless. Facebook is just one of many sites in the online
social networking trend and was launched February 4,
2004 by four friends at Harvard University. It was
based off the idea of a face book�, which is a
book of names and photographs of a university's
incoming freshman class and is distributed at
The websités
popularity spread like wildfire across the Harvard
the start of the academic year.
campus and within a few weeks over half of the
undergraduate population had registered. Facebook
first appeared on East Carolinds campus in mid-November
2004 a little over a year later, the network had expanded to
include 2,000+ colleges and 25,000+ high school institutions
across the United States, Canada, Mexico, the UK, Australia,
New Zealand, and Ireland, including more than 11 million
users worldwide.
Once registered, students can create personalized profiles
with pictures of themselves and various information such as
their interests, relationship status, clubs/jobs and favorite
music, movies, and TV shows. Users can also search for
other members based on any of the aforementioned criteria.
However, if a person does not attend the same school as the
searcher, their profile cannot be viewed until friendship is
confirmed. Facebook features several distinctive features such
as a Wall� where the users friends can post comments or
common interest groups. These groups range from real campus
or Greek organizations, sports interests and common interest
groups based on geographical affiliation to even ones dedicated
to the very website (I Should Never Have Started Facebook...�
and Facebook Addicts).
Use of Facebook isrit limited to those currently enrolled
in college, however. Oftentimes, graduates still maintain
their profiles and use the site as an easy and convenient
way to keep in contact with friends who may have moved
on to other areas. Its a great transitional tool for recent
graduates, a means for them to still feel a part of the
university and remain in touch with their friends. still

attending; said ECU Alum Candace Drake.
One of the most interesting aspects of sites such as
Facebook is the almost C-list level celebrity status that is
occasionally afforded to some of its users, whether locally or
nationally. One ECU Facebooker in particular has upwards
of 2000 confirmed friends� and is listed as a groupie� (one
that claims many friends within groups) for nearly every
group on the site. However, this sort of notoriety
pales in comparison to that of Florida Staté Jenn
Sterger, who has parlayed her Facebook fame
into spreads in popular meris magazine Maxim
and even her own Playboy photo shoot. Sterger
popularity only grew once her high visibility at
televised FSU athletic events caused a barrage of
friend confirmations from college-aged men from
universities. According to Sports Illustrated, Jenn has
received over 16,000 friend requests on her Facebook profile
since she was first spotted by cameramen at a Florida State
football game.
Facebookers are finding other ways to attract attention,
but not always the positive variety. One of the more
interesting common interest groups available to join is ~I
Would So Have Sex In the Library-ECU Chapter", which
according to a security guard in the library, the ECU Police
maintains a "watch list" of the members of that group.
Police have also taken note of instances of underage drinking
documented in photos posted on Facebook, some of
which have resulted in citations. Similarly, universities are
supplying potential employers with alumni addresses in order
to check in on job prospects and what they see may cause
them to be dismissed as a candidate.
It is this sort of third party interaction that makes
some users a bit hesitant. While many users post home
addresses, telephone numbers, etc., some are hesitant on what
information they want made available on Facebook due to the
fear of stalkers or other security issues. There is some hope
for the savvy user, however. Limitations can also be placed on
who can view their profile, contact information, and even their
photo albums to "friends of friends" or only friends. While
online networking may be the convenient, seemingly safe way
to keep up with friends during and after college, soon-to-be-
grads should take note: Big brother is facebooking.

Foreign Exchange
Program
Nationwide, colleges have to deal with tighter restrictions
in regard to foreign exchange selection. ECU doesnt
escape this task either.
Before Sept. 11, it was usual business to
obtain student visas. Afterward, the task
became extremely difficult.
Application screening became a tedious
task and there were many students who were
flat out denied the opportunity. Training people
to screen applications was just as time consuming.

Rodenberg, Assistant Vice Chancellor of International Affairs.
It became difficult for students from some areas of the
world to get visas at all, otherwise there was a great time delay:
Rodenberg went on to say how the screening process

persuasion, but did not dismiss the applications of other
nationalities.
There was a process by which the government would
investigate a given student before they would allow visas to

be granted? Rodenberg said. And there is a certain amount
of time which none of us could control. It was entirely at
the whim of the U.S. government
He also added that life does appear to be
returning to normal for the foreign exchange
student. With a system of checks that work, now
it is possible to eliminate much of the post 9-11
difficulty that was so apparent.
Now, things within the last year or so are
beginning to turn back to the way they were before 9-
11. Now there are still check outs there? Rodenberg said.
They are particularly for individuals of certain countries
that maybe weren't as strong before 9-11�
With more time and greater check security, foreign
exchange programs, for both Americans and Gf
nationalities, should continue to prosper. Sept. 11 created an
understandable sense of panic in many people. Nevertheless,
the benefit of foreign exchange programs will continue to
exercise itself for some time.

pledged a fraternity or a sorority cannot see?

The definition of what it means to be
I
Greek is a very broad one. Dozens of fraternities
and sororities exist on ECUs campus, each having
SOc ua
distinct similarities and differences that many people dont
know about.
First of all, there are the social fraternities and
sororities on campus. These organizations provide students
with the opportunity to make lifelong friends. There 1s

leadership, social skills, and community service. There are
over 30 social fraternities and sororities on campus, each
representing the North-American Interfraternity Conference,
the National Panhellenic Conference, and the National Pan-
Hellenic Council, which is historically African American.

organizations have social events, but there is an emphasis on
more volunteer work. Students must do volunteer work in
order to attend socials and stay in the organization. I feel
like I have found the perfect sorority for me because I
get to enjoy doing service for my community on a
weekly basis, and I get to attend social functions;
says Jamie Ring, a junior member of Gamma
Sigma Sigma.
There are also a number of other options
available to students like Christian, academic, and
cultural Greek organizations that are well-known and
becoming more popular across campus.
Rushing, or the intake process in the fall and spring,
is a great way to find out what different kinds of sororities
and fraternities are all about. Most pledge periods last from
4-8 weeks.

Sexual Preferences
Gay. Lesbian. Bi-sexual. All of these words are used
in regular language and are not foreign to anyone. Though
various forms of sexual orientation are more widely
accepted than they were ten years ago, they still
provoke controversy in some form or fashion on
campus today. According to data collected by
ECU, sexual orientation ranked highest with
68 percent of students hearing three or more
Tits 1s
compared to the 55 percent hearing similar remarks
insensitive or disparaging remarks.
about race, 50 percent toward women, 53 percent for
religion, and 61 percent for disability. Seventy-three percent
of those hearing the remarks about sexuality were men and
65 percent were females.
The awareness and education of the presence of gays,
lesbians, and bisexuals on campus was heightened with
the formation of an organization called B-GLAD, short for
Bisexuals, Gays, Lesbians, and Allies for Diversity. According
to current advisor Aaron Lucier, student organizations
existed before B-GLAD that espoused similar ideologies.
However, they folded before 1994 which was the year
B-GLAD was formed.
There was much resistance on the part of the Student
Government Association and because of a special clause
preventing funding for special interest� groups, B-Glad was
denied. However, this was changed a few years later at the
same time that SGA allowed funding for religious groups.
B-GLAD has been a major force in improving the life of
GLBT (gays lesbians bi-sexuals transgender) students in
campus and in the community) stated Lucier. B-GLAD puts
on panels that have allowed students to learn about the lives

of GLBT people in an educational environment.
B-GLAD President Danielle Campbell recalled, Each
year we have more and more teachers who request
the panels in their classrooms. This shows that the
teachers aren't always going strictly by the book
Also, on top of these panels the group has also
put on two movies, one about the lives of four
transgender students, and a hate crime movie.
Not only on the ECU campus has such a tolerant
attitude become more accepted, but also on a
national level.
"ECU is also a better place for GLBT students, faculty,
and staff because the nation and region have changed.
Will and Grace and other shows with gays characters have
changed our media, and the debate on gays and lesbians in
the military and more recently the debate on the right for
GLBT to marry has created a great deal of discussion on and
off campus; remarked Lucier. One-student remarks, ~As
far as I have experienced, the campus is pretty accepting to
homosexuals. There are always going to be people who dont
agree with the ~lifestyle; but I have never heard anything
negative from anyone
Despite the fact that alternative lifestyles have gained
widespread acceptance, there are still those who disapprove
and make it known. As with other groups whose mere
existence stokes debate, they have had people rip down flyers
and even discourage others from attending their events.
From their perspective, however, B-GLAD continues to work
for the interests of all students on campus, not simply those
from the gay and lesbian community by fostering a secure
academic environment for the beliefs of many.

Research has shown that studemm

higher than their peers in areas such as critical

read the newspaper are significantly more likely to be
able to articulate their views on major issues and to be
civically engaged than those who do not read the paper.
These are the values/skills that we desire in our college

The Collegiate Readership Program began at Penn

His other strategic directions include providing classroom
leaders for the 21st century for public schools in North Carolina
and the rest of the nation; artistic and cultural leadership; economic
development; and medical innovation.
Before joining East Carolina as the universitys tenth chief
executive, Ballard served as provost at the University of Missouri at
Kansas City. Previous academic appointments had taken him from
Oklahoma to the East Coast.

facilities on campus to host a regional.
In 2001, former Pirate head coach
Keith LeClair jump-started a campaign
to fund and build a state-of-the-art on-
campus facility that would match the
success of the baseball program.
LeClair was forced to resign in 2002
because of health reasons, which later
would be diagnosed as amyotrophic
lateral sclerosis (ALS).
Magen 4 2005 WLeClairs vacion
was realized as the Pirates defeated
the Michigan Wolverines 2-1 in the
inaugural game of the $11 million

Some of the Clark-LeClair Stadium

and scoreboard, TV and radio broadcast
locations, a viewing suite for the LeClair
family, indoor and outdoor batting cages,
coaches offices, and a junglé with
elevated berm for additional viewing
space from behind the outfield fence.
The stadium was named after LeClair
and Bill Clark, a real estate developer
and leading contributor to the project.

Holtz brings New Optimism to Pirate Football
By: Ronnie Woodward
In the second overtime of the
2001 GMAC Bowl, Marshall quarterback
Byron Leftwich connected with Josh Davis
for an 8-yard touchdown pass to beat East
Carolina, who led 38-8 at halftime. The
heartbreaking 64-61 loss started an era the
pirate nation would like to forget.
The three seasons that followed were
filled with administrative changes, coaching
changes, and overall turmoil as the Pirates
compiled a record of 7-28 and headed in
the wrong direction. Enter Skip Holtz.
Holtz, son of coaching legend Lou
Holtz, was hired to revitalize the once
proud Pirate program.
I promise you will have every ounce
of energy, soul, and life that I have in order
to put this program back where it belongs
and thats at a championship level; Holtz
said at his initial press conference as Head
Coach of the Pirates.
The Pirates appeared in four bowl
games in the ~90s, highlighted by the 1992
Peach Bowl victory over arch-rival N.C.
State. The 37-34 victory over the Wolfpack
finalized the memorable season that found
the Pirates ranked ninth nationally in the
final Associated Press Poll.
Athletic Director Terry Holland
believes Holtz has the needed experience
and attributes to guide the Pirate ship back
to success.
We have great confidence in
Skip 10 take Over amd Icdd our icorballl
program; Holland said. His background
and enthusiasm make him a perfect fit for
BCU
In Holts inaugural season the Pirates
finished with a .500 record in Conference
USA for the first time simce 2002, while
compiling an overall record of 5-6. The
team came up one win short of meeting its
goal of reaching a bowl game but ended the
season On a positive note with wins against
Marshall and UAB.
We have came a long way and got
better and better? Holtz said after the UAB
win. Now all we can do is get better in the
off season and keep building this program
Offensive lineman Andrew Farr
said Holtz had a massive influence on his
decision to come to ECU)
When I came on my official visit, he
told me what he wanted to accomplish and
what football at East Carolina University
means to him, Farr said or Holtz. What
he told me really sunk into me and got me
excited about the future of Pirate football
Farr also said that the ECU players
and coaches are working hard to accomplish
great things in the future.
Hé {Holtz} been pushing us real
Nard amd. its mot easy, but he doinebecause he wants to win bowl games and
wit comterence USA, Fatt said. We as
players have bonded together and we know
what we have to do to get the job done
Holland has arranged future games,
starting im 2006, with ACC and regional
competitors N.C. State, UNC. Viroing
Tech and Virginia. Holland views these
games as challenges but thinks Holtz 1s
ready for the task.
In spite of a difficult schedule " Next
year 12006) we Mave SO pow! teams om
our schedule and seven of those are bowl
champions " Coach Holtz is building a
foundation for ECU football that will pay
dividends for years to come

College of Business
ECU business students win national competition
Students from the ECU School of
Business were awarded first place in
a national competition recently. The
competition itself is based off investigative
work done with local businesses where
students identify possible problems and
seek ways to eliminate those problems.
Racheal Baxter, Bryant Beddard, Chris
Long, Brian Ozment, and Tauris Speight
were selected for first place regarding their
work with Bennett Vineyards, which is
located in Edward, N.C.
The students, who were members of
a ~seniors only class taught by Professor
Michael Harris, Director of the Small
Business Institute, assigned the
vineyard as their project. Students worked
closely with business members, interviewing
them and researching the industry of the
business itself. Additionally, the team
were
researched and monitored current industry
trends. The information will help discover
any issues that the students might be able

114
to give advice on in an endeavor to make
the company more profitable.
The small business class gives students
hands on time with real life local businesses,
and the experience takes everything
students have learned up to that point and
gives them a chance to use it.
"It's really a team effort that makes the
Small Business Institute work" said Harris.
Harris prides himself on
excellent students who he knows will put
forth their best effort with their work.
The professor led the team not only to
a first place victory this year, but a second
place victory the previous year.
"This experience helped me find my
passion. Dr. Harris truly changed my
life. He saw my potential and nurtured
it, encouraging me to take a leadership
position; said Racheal Baxter.
Baxter is a graduate who is currently
seeking her MBA.
Baxter described the experience as
having
pretty intense considering that it was the
first time that any of the students had
received any hands on in-depth experience
with a company.
She stressed that students who are
considering opening a business in the future
that knowing one individual skill of the
business, such as marketing or accounting,
simply won't cut it. A person needs to
know the ins and outs of every aspect. This
program takes that charge.
"I'm a believer that if you challenge
students, and if you say, look, this is a real
company. This company, their livelihood
is at stake. In this semester, you can
actually give them a solution and let them
implement so that they make more money.
If the stakes are critical, students rise to the
challenge said Harris.
Both Harris and Baxter highly
encourage students to look into the small
business program at ECU

of professional education. Critical to
such commitment is the promotion of
effective teaching, staff participation
in the improvement of schools; and,
in concert with other state agencies, the
development and creation of educational
policy for North Carolina.
The College of Education consists
of six academic departments that
offer seventeen undergraduate degree

Pushing the Limits
College of Health and Human Performance
The mission of the College of Health Carolina became a university, a large and founding Dean of the College of Health
and Human Performance is to provide
instruction, conduct research, and perform
service in health, exercise science, and
recreation and leisure. The primary focus
of the college is to advance and disseminate
knowledge concerning maintenance
and enhancement of health, physical
performance, and quality of life.
After only 10 years as a school, the
complexity and growth of our programs has
allowed us to reorganize as a college. The
original Department of Physical Education
was a component of the East Carolina
Teachers Training School in 1907. With
each succeeding status change for ECU,
e.g., from Teachers Training School, to
Teachers College, to East Carolina College,
to East Carolina University, the department
assumed greater status. By the time East
strong Department of Health, Physical
Education, Recreation and Safety resided
in the College of Arts and Sciences. With
over sixty-five faculty members the school
is among the largest and most productive
on campus.
In 1982, the Human Performance
Laboratory was instituted and immediately
established itself as an important campus-
wide facility for research and clinical
programs dealing with an array of scientific
and health-related issues.
In 1993, the Department of Health,
Physical Education, Recreation and
Safety became the eleventh professional
school on the East Carolina University
campus. Dr. Carolyn Hampton was
appointed Interim Dean, and in 1994 Dr.
Zauner assumed the position of
Christian

and Human Performance.
In 1999, Dr. Glen Gilbert was
named the second Dean of the schoo
after spending two years as ECU Chair of
the Department of Health Education and
Promotion. Dr. Gilbert is a noted authority
and scholar on topics of public health,
and school health education. Dr. Gilbert
received his doctorate from the Ohio State
University, and has held positions with the
U.S. Public Health Service, the University
of Maryland, Portland State University, and
UNGGreensboro. In 2003 the School of
Health & Human Performance became the
College of Health & Human Performance.
Dr. Sharon Knight and Dr. Susan McGhee
serve the college as Associate Deans.

Hospitality Business Management Program.
Few realize that there is actually a full service

campus, but those who do see it as one of
BCUs hidden treasures, ~Its by far the best
place to get a meal on campus, says MBA
student Brandon Estes. So much imagination
goes into each plate and the students go
management and food service
out of their way to make you feel welcome
The Hospitality Management Luncheon
Series began in 1988 and has since been the
proving grounds through which hopeful
graduates must test their knowledge of food
service, preparation, and budgeting in a real-
While
the program has been a hit with patrons since
its inception, the vitality of the Luncheon Series
was secured through a sizeable donation from
the Darden Restaurant Foundation in 2003.
Darden Restaurants is the parent company of
popular chains such as Olive Garden, Bahama
world, real tume-work environment.
Breeze, Smokey Bones, and Red Lobster.
Since that time, the dining room has bore the
name of Red Lobster/Darden, as The Lob
has been working with ECU longer than any
other Darden subsidiary.
Red Lobster Restaurants has been a
great corporate partner to our Unversity
for neatly a decade. In fact, many Darden
Restaurant concepts (Olive Garden, Bahama
Breeze, Smokey Bones, et al) have successfully
recruited, hired, and promoted alumni
from East Carolina Universitys Hospitality
Management Program said Chandler.
From an academic standpoint, Quantity
Food production and Service Management,
or more simply NUMH 4110 & 4111, isa
rigorous exercise in food service that exposes
students to all conceivable responsibilities
of normal day-to-day restaurant operation.
Students can expect to spend as much as
twenty-one hours per week for about nine
weeks working outside of the class or lab
researching the best and most cost effective
dishes, honing their service and culinary
execution, and preparing their final portfolio.
Each meal consists of three courses, salad/
appetizer, entrée, and desert, which students
are allowed a budget of $3.75 per person.
In the ~real world, this budget is at least
15% above the national industry average,
which means the budget should be $2.63
per person " or less. Of course, we live in a
~learning experience world} which is somewhat
more forgiving; said Chandler.
At the beginning of each course, students
are grouped into teams of as many as four
and rotate through a variety of job functions
Sich aS server, miafiager, chef, and even
dishwasher. Faculty keeps a close eye on
work assignments to assure no student 1s
forced into undesirablé positions longer than
necessary. Each team works two shifts in the
dining room and three in the kitchen with
each team member acting as manager for one
luncheon. Each team member is evaluated on
their professionalism, demeanor, and mastery
of the course-applicable skills based on a time
tested assessment platform.
In the end, Dr. Chandler wants his
students to come away with what he considers
the most important trait of any good business
person " the ability to manage other people.
If you cart manage people, you cart manage
any business Its not just a cold management
perspective he requires, however. He added,

ECU maintains commitment to excellence in online instruction
Several of ECU's degree programs,
including computer science and business, have
been ranked among the top three in the US.
by college research group, GetEducated.com.
The online program for MBA and
computer science degrees are each ranked
number one. The online education degree is
rated number three.
"ECU has strived not only to increase
access through online programs, but also to
ensure that the programs are the best they can
be} said Elmer Poe, assistant vice chancellor for
academic outreach. _
"ECU's online programs are taught by
the same faculty who teach on campus, and
often the online students are in the same virtual
~ classrooms as the campus students"
The MBA program is considered the most
cost-effective degree to get online. The top 25
programs were ranked with respect to the in-
state price tag. ECU is number one for in-state
tuition, costing students only $3,578. That is
more than $1,000 less than the number two
school, Western Illinois University, where it
costs $4,744 to attend in state.
ECU's out-of-state tuition only amounts to
$13,212. That is cheaper than the in-state tuition
of the lower 13 schools on the top 25 list. No
other North Carolina university made the list.
GetEducated.com is an organization
geared toward consumer-oriented students
looking to get an education at an affordable
cost. ECU's online computer science program is
number one among a plethora of other public
colleges competing for students.
"Not surprisingly, eight of the top 10 best
buys came from publicly funded universities;
said Vicky Phillips, GetEducated.com CEO
and chief analyst.
"Many publicly funded universities in low-
cost education states in the South and Midwest
are beginning to offer their programs online for
one flat fee. This means prospective students
nationwide can begin enjoying low public
college tuition rates that were once available
only to the residents of selected states
Online programs and distance education
have grown increasingly popular at ECU, the
state leader in DE programs. Last year, there
were around 50,000 semester hours offered
through distance education.
"We have more to offer because our
faculty has stepped up to the plate and put
these programs on} said Carolyn K. Dunn,
coordinator of marketing and summer study
abroad.
There are about 3,700 students who
are enrolled in more than 50 of ECU's
undergraduate, graduate and _ certificate
programs. In today's global wired society,
it is beneficial for ECU to be able to offer
programs to people who would otherwise miss
the opportunity to get a college education,
Distance education encompasses many forms of
technology and gives students a chance to learn |
without having to commute long distances.
"Distance learning may occur by surface
mail, videotape, interactive TV, radio, satellite
or any number of Internet technologies such |
as message boards, chat rooms and desktop
computer conferencing; Phillips said.
It is important for prospective students
to understand what constitutes an accredited ,
online university though. Trouble can arise from _
believing Internet scams that promise lavish
degree options in miniscule periods of time.
"There is currently a big boom in. 'state
approved' schools offering degrees via distance
learning, especially from California} Phillips said.
"Many states regulate private training and "
trade schools by putting them through a state
approval process. This process is not the same
as accreditation. Sometimes it simply means
that a license to do business has been granted!

School of Allied Health Sciences
Improving Health
The hands on learning experiences that
ECU students experience here play a vital
role in their education. By interacting in
real life scenarios, students are able to gain
the knowledge and skills necessary to be
successful in the career of their choice. The
School of Allied Health Sciences offers some
of the most interactive programs availble.
The School of Allied Health Sciences'
mission as found at ecu.edu/ah is "to
improve the quality of health through
leadership, excellence and innovation in
the delivery of progressive baccalaureate,
masters, doctoral and continuing education
programs, providing professional and
clinical services and conducting basic,
clinical and applied research
The school has an enrollment of
approximately 500 undergraduate
and graduate students within its nine
departments. The school offers a range of
degrees in the areas of biostatistics, clinical
laboratory science, communication sciences
and disorders, community health, health
services and information management,
occupational therapy, physical therapy,
physician assistant studies and rehabilitation
studies. Forty percent more allied health
professionals are enrolled at ECU than any
other four-year state institution.
Being the largest provider of allied
health professionals for the state, mostly
due to the fact that ECU has the first and
only school of allied health sciences, there
is a rising need for expansion to meet the
demand of more student enrollment.
One way to meet this demand head on is
to build a new academic facility. To be
completed in 2006, a new health sciences
campus will include a Family Practice
Center and Health Science Library as well
as a new building for the School of Allied
Health Sciences.
"This new state-of-the-art, high-tech
facility will more than double our space
to accommodate more than nine hundred
students, nearly twice our current enrollment
"The opportunities for new student-
centered instructional, research, service and
clinical activities in an interdisciplinary health
care environment will ring in a new era for
our school" said Stephen Thomas, Dean of
the School of Allied Health Sciences in his
dean's message at ecu.edu/ah.
Accreditation is an important factor
when most students are trying to find the
best school to suit their current needs as well
as their future goals. It allows graduates of
that school to take required state licensure and
national certification and registration exams.
The School of Allied Health Sciences has
accreditation from national accrediting bodies

The interactive environment that the
school offers can be found in community-

One such program, Operation Sunshine, |
allows students the opportunity to create
and implement after-school programs for
rural communities. Another project where
students provide in-home services to a rural |
community is the Tillery Project.

Creating Miracles
Brody School of Medicine
In the early 1960s, a group of leaders
from eastern North Carolina proposed that
a medical school be established at what
was then East Carolina College. They were
concerned about the deficit of modern
medical care available in the region, and
about who would replace the generation of
physicians then in practice. Over the next
decade these and other men and women,
under the determined leadership of the
late Dr. Leo W. Jenkins, chancellor of the
college, made the case for their idea to
anyone who would listen.
Brody School of Medicine at East
Carolina University is accredited by the
Liaison Committee on Medical Education.
East Carolina University is accredited

by the Southern Association of Colleges
and Schools.
In time, East Carolina University was
authorized to establish a health affairs division
as a foundation for a medical program,
and then a one-year medical school whose
participants completed their medical education
at the University of North Carolina-Chapel
Hill. Finally in 1974, the General Assembly
of North Carolina appropriated the funds to
establish a four-year medical school at East
Carolina University.
The legislature set forth a three-fold
mission for the ECU School of Medicine:
to increase the supply of primary care
physicians to serve the state, to improve
health status of citizens in eastern North
Carolina, and to enhance the access of
minority and disadvantaged students to a
medical education. |
Since 1977, when the first class of 28
students enrolled in the four-year School
of Medicine, the institution has grown
dramatically in its teaching, research and
patient care roles. Today, in its partnership.
with University Health Systems of Eastern
Carolina and regional physicians, the school
is the educational centerpiece of one of
North Carolina's largest and most productive |
academic medical centers. In 1999, it was
renamed the Brody School of Medicine at.
East Carolina University, in recognition of the
continuous support of the Brody family. |

When the ECU community picked
up the most recent copy of The East
Carolinian in October of 2005 and read
about the possibility of the university
getting its yearbook back, they were
immediately overjoyed. Nothing is able
to capture memories quite like a yearbook
and nothing will help us to remember this
era in our lives like our yearbook can.
The dictionary defines yearbook as
a book published yearly as a report or
summary of statistics or facts. However, a
yearbook is much more than that.
A yearbook is the one tool students can
treasure, the tool that can bring us back
to our years here with just the simple turn
of a page. Flipping through the Student
Life section of the ECU _ yearbook
reminds us of the amazing win during
Homecoming weekend or the opening of
West End Dining Hall for which we all
waited so long.
Still, no matter how students long for
the possible return of the book, few know
the hard work and the struggles that must
be endured to make it happen.
In college you are unique. Everyone
is from somewhere different and has
something new to teach you. The small
towns, huge cities, various states and
diverse countries of the world join together
in Our university to meet a central goal,
to improve the quality of life through
education.
While our homes may have decided
where our high schools would be, our hearts
decided where we would go to college.
yearbook captures differences,
likenesses, individuality, and unity.
Everyone here at ECU is alike in that they
seek the ultimate goal of graduating and
as we begin each new year, the yearbook
captures the events that make it possible.
When we look back on our years
here we will smile to ourselves as we are
reminded of how hectic move-in days
were and how we were overjoyed when we
discovered that the majority of the dorms
were blessed with air conditioning.
We will laugh at how thrilled we were
the day our biology labs where canceled
because of impending snow flurries and we
