The Fresy

Walking on campus, being a veteran student, it is very easy to spot the prospective and orientation students. If
you take away the white and purple university bags they are carrying which is full of dozens of university
pamphlets and handouts, and omit the concerned parents and helpless siblings that are shadowing their footsteps,
there lies only the prospective student. Apart from their youthful complexion, you can always tell the fresh meat
from the seasoned veterans, because the new students always dress their best, whether their posture is overly
confident to impress or lacking confidence, they look absolutely lost, and they are way too excited about the
pending freedoms that lie on college campuses.
Last year over 4,000 students visited East Carolina with the interest of attending. Around 2,500 students
applied, were accepted, and attended freshman orientation. Orientation is every students' initiation to their future
university; it is the foundation to their future college experiences. Colleges everywhere pull out all the stops to
make the parents of new students comfortable and confident about the institution while informing, organizing,
and rallying up the new freshman class.
University, department and program introductions fill the days' events. Former high school students have the
opportunity to get a taste of what it is like to be a true college student. And there is no better way of doing that
than having East Carolina students present and instruct most of the orientation activities. Over 100 students
participate in hosting orientation as tour guides, activity directors, guest speakers, resident hall advisers and
student organization representatives.
The highlights of most incoming freshman's visit are: viewing the residence halls, checking out the cafeteria,
holding their student IDs for the first time, and experiencing a world without their parents.

STRANGER NN ANEN LAND
Driving to campus for the first time was unforgettable. As I drove passed all of the buildings on Tenth Street, I tried to
memorize as much of the landscape of campus as I could (even though I did not know the names of the buildings). As
my parents drove me up College Hill to moved me into my room, I was filled with as much excitement as a six year old
visiting Disney World.
I met so many people from my building randomly; I remember I could not remember all of their names or even which
Tooms they were in. The girls on my hall became this notoriously social sisterhood. We would always do everything
together: walking to class, going to the dining hall, attending parties... EVERYTHING together. We were unforgettable;
veryone knew us as the fifteen energetic, inseparable freshmen. We were a sea of fashion and giggles.
I remember we had no clue what we were doing. We relied on fliers and our RA to tell us when football games and other
activities were going on. Football games were electrifying, and the sea of fans was spellbinding. There was always
Something going. Free stuff was everywhere!
When the newness of campus life wore off, the most mystical revelation occurred: I could do whatever I wanted! There
Was no one telling me what to do and when to do it. There were a few rules that seemed common sense, but everything
else was fair game.
I learned quickly that if I attended class and took good notes, I could make a B or better on my quizzes. If I completed
nly Papers earlier than the due date, I could take them to this thing called the writing lab and get help on them to get a
etter chance of earning an A. I studied late at night with groups, order pizza, went to the library, and generally made
800d grades on my exams. I learned to create a balance between my social life, evening activities and school
responsibilities. I realized that being able to stay at East Carolina University is an earned privilege, not a right.
I took care of all of my responsibilities, which became second nature to me. I enjoyed the college culture. I supported
the athletic games and went to the movies on campus. I attended the campus festivals, pickup games and late-nighters. I
ad plenty of pictures to prove it, too. Those photos were snapshots of some great memories and amazing friends. The
St part was realizing that I was going to do this again for the next three years.
Who knew life could be this good?

ON CAMPUS LIVING
- AO
~ Residence Hall Lite
On campuses across the nation many incoming
freshman are required to live on campus their
first academic year. At East Carolina, the
decision to live on campus is completely
optional.
Why do so many students choose to live on
campus? There are many benefits to living on
campus: you are within walking distance to
your classes; you are close to downtown, you
have full access to an amazing gym, you have a
bus system that will take you anywhere you
want in town, the newly renovated dining halls,
and tons of free events and programs. There is
always something going on. In addition to all
these perks to living on campus, there is also an
open network of students to socialize with and
get to know in your dorm buildings.

So you have decided you are going to live on campus,
the next step is Where to Live?�
The West End dorms are Greene, White, Clement,
Garrett and Fletcher. Closer towards Joyner Library
and central campus are Cotten, Fleming, Jarvis, and
Umstead. A block from campus on College Hill are
Aycock, Belk, Jones, Scott, Tyler, and College Hill
Suites, an option for students who do not want to live in
the residence halls but prefer not to move off campus.
West End is close to downtown and just a building or
two away from the fully loaded Student Rec Center.
The Rec center is close to Mendenhall, the hub of
various student organizations and events. On Central
campus provides the convenience of Joyner Library
for those midnight cram sessions, and close to the
academic buildings. |
The other option is living on College Hill. It is only a
block away from the academic side of campus, a block
(way from Minges Coliseum, and decked out with its
Own mini gym. College Hill is where most of the
athletes live and is famous for being close to tailgating
areas,
Each living area, no matter if it's near College Hill, the
middle of campus, or West End, has its own rhythm
and vibe. And each residence hall is a village in itself.

Residence halls such as Cotten, Fletcher, and Greene build
small, close-knit communities. On the flipside, the high
rises on College Hill such as Tyler have been described as
fun, exciting, and filled with something for everyone.
There are always new people you meet and always
someone to hang out with, not just the same old people,�
says Chris Thompson.
So where should you live? Whichever residence hall
students end up calling home, they will certainly have
college and campus life that are memorable.

On October 26, 2009, Katelynn Cusanelli
spoke to students about the importance of
individuality and her journey to fully
embracing it. Katelynn is most well
known for her role on MTVs Real World
Brooklyn 2009, being the first transgender
woman cast member. Before her national
debut on MTV, she was an active leader in
the GLBT (Gay Lesbian Bisexual
Transgender) community in Florida. She
told her story eloquently using frequent
bursts of humor and raunchiness,
entertaining her listeners and provoking
them to think about the hardship of finding
acceptance in her shoes.
Before joining the Real World cast,
Katelynn understood the repercussions of
being on the show, especially because she
was a transgender woman. Being on
television was not what she wanted; in oe
fact, after being chosen, she protested not : Es Katelynn Cusanelli speaks to

the GLBT community. 2 gare
Katelynn mentioned her mothers reaction, saying that it was
difficult for her mother to mourn the loss of one child and to embrace
the other, speaking about her daughters gender transition. Eyes and
ears listened to every second of Katelynns autobiography, beginning
with her first acknowledgment of a desired sex change, to her being a
guest speaker at various institutions.
Growing up, Katelynn wore womens clothing underneath mens
clothes; she faced prejudice in the workplace; finding love was an
incredible challenge. Before filming The Real World, Katelynn had
her gender reassignment surgery, which occurred after her hormone
therapy. She noted that she gained a lot from the therapy, and that
being transgender has emotional issues not dealing with the transgender
process itself. I had abandonment issues,� which was something she
worked on during the one year of therapy before anyone can get gender
reassignment surgery.

Following the obstacles she overcame, Katelynn remains jubilant,
triumphant, ostentatious, and a role model to many.

Following Katelynn Cusanellis talk was the fabulous drag

included acts from Natasha Divine, Kirby Kolby, Michelle

in the dancing and singing, shoveling out their dollar bills
for the fine ladies. There was a strong and loudly

KTOBER)
On October 28th, 2009 the First annual Oktoberfest at East
Carolina University took place. The Student Activities
Board Initiatives director, Wendy Dixon, started the event,
and was helped by her fellow SAB marketing team and
ECUs German Club. The turnout for the event was more
than expected, exceeding two hundred and fifty students; it
was a promising result. The school radio station, WZMB
provided the music, and Aramark catered the food. Both
organizations placed emphasis on the German culture, and
both were enjoyed greatly by all participants.
The polka dancing section of the feast attracted new
comers including students and children, all of whom
cheerfully graced the brick yard. The giant playpen
claimed a few jousters and many children, while other
participants were busy collecting mugs and t-shirts as
prizes. Throughout the event students came and went,
discovering a little bit of Germany along the way.

The Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival is a joyous celebration
of the Chinese lunar calendar and takes place the fifteenth
day of the eighth month of the year. At this time the moon
is noted to be at its fullest and brightest phase. The moon is
symbolic for family reunion and is one of the most
important traditions in the Chinese culture.
At East Carolina University, the event started with a line of
people preparing to engorge themselves with vast amounts
of Chinese food, as food is an important part of this
festival. During the meal, Hsin Dong, director of student
programming at LWCC, told a traditional Chinese legend
to the crowd. Following the storytelling there was a
musical duet performed by two Chinese Students. After the
food, story and song, the much-anticipated spectacular lion
dance took place and was performed by Thanh and his
friends from the Cary Asian Center. The Lion wards off
bad spirits and welcomes the New Year; it is also a symbol
of strength and wisdom. The dance is usually performed by
two or three people.
When the lion dance was over, the conclusion of the event
took place at the Ledonia Wright Cultural Center. There,
participants tasted moon cakes and lit lanterns while
engaging in conversations with friends ending their
discovery of a beautiful Chinese tradition.

_" A Night Filled With Ghouls and Goblins�
Imagine an evening when the most gruesome faces haunt our fair city. A night when terror walks
freely and screams come from every turn. Only one night a year Hell opens its doors, and its subjects
spill out into the streets of Greenville.
Okay, not really. When you are in grade school the coolest costumes are the most terrifying. When
you reach college however, Halloween is an excuse to dress outrageously. Guys choose to go the funny
or vulgar route, and girls tend to abide by the concept that less is more.� Although downtown
Greenville might not scare you on Halloween night, it definitely offers its own variety of shocks.
Downtown establishments are packed by ten pm, and the Greenville Police Department comes out
in full force to ensure the safety of all downtown patrons. Students also find other ways to have a good
time on Halloween attending the plentiful parties the night has to offer.
T just enjoy partying with my closest friends and dressing up and not worrying about crowds. Plus
it is safer,� says Samatha Stewart, an ECU Senior. Festivities blanketed all the student off-campus
housing apartments.

October brings many affirmations of the arrival of
fall. From pumpkins to changing leave, frosty nights
and cool days, many things point to the changing of
the seasons. In Greenville, and more specifically at
East Carolina University, one of the things most
looked forward to during the fall season is
Halloween, and all of the horrors and haunts that
come with it. For some reason, perhaps it is the
uncertainty of the weather, Pirates all over
Greenville and Eastern North Carolina look to shake
themselves up and test their fear limit� as much as
possible. Be it horror movies or haunted houses or
maybe even a haunted corn maze, nothing gets a
Pirate going like Halloween and all of the events that
precede this night of fun, fright, and festivity. One of
the local attractions in Greenville, a treasure of the
East, is Brileys corn maze. Started in 2003 the corn
maze has been running successfully every fall since.
Attracting customers from as far away as Virginia,
Brileys truly does get its patrons in the fall, and
Halloween, spirit. In fact this year, for the first time,
the Student Activities Board at East Carolina _
University reserved Brileys corn mazes for ECU
students, providing transportation to and from the
farm, and partial coverage of the ticket purchase
price; thus, giving students the opportunity to
experience the haunted... and not so haunted corn
maze at Brileys. Brileys haunted corn maze is a
true...fright... to behold. With horror characters
such as Jason from Friday the 13th, and Hannibal
Lector from Silence of the Lambs, patrons and
Pirates alike have more than ample opportunity
_"""""""
to test their scare limits. It takes approximately 35
minutes to navigate the nearly 4 acre haunted
maze, and its numerous fright rooms and
corridors will definitely not disappoint anyone
seeking to be horribly entertained. Planning for
both the haunted and traditional mazes begins
early in the year. When the time comes to actually
build the haunted maze, ideas are made, plans are
drawn, and the owners of the farm, brothers, Joey
and Jeffry Whithurst, along with local help,
construct the maze from scratch. The haunted
maze starts with a five to six minute ride to the
middle of the field during which the excitement
and fear builds. As one walks through the maze
there are several areas or rooms� that attract or
negate attention. One interesting room is the Hall
of Faces. Walking in one can see a plethora of
neon illuminated face in this very dark, dark
room. Be careful though, not all of the faces are
glued to the wall! Another interesting feature in
the haunted maze is the revolving tunnel. Inside is
dark except for the swirling lights that illuminate
the rotating tube. Imagine being highly intoxicated
inside the Millennium Falcon as Han Solo and
Luke jump into hyper drive, and you might have a
slight feeling of what it is like to be in this tunnel.
The Haunted Maze has been a success every year
since its open and will continue to be an attraction
during the Halloween season as long as people
continue to enjoy getting the crap scared out of
them.

There is a crazy excitement in the air.
The music is loudly pumping into the
eardrums of a massive clot of climbers
at the East Carolina University Student
Recreational Center. A satisfactory

fo all the climbers on this day,
Saturday, February 20th, 2010, the
thirteenth annual FlatLanders Fling.
This is the first year that ECU and
UNC Wilmington are hosting a joint
Competition known as The Eastern
Edge Climbing Series. Day one takes
Place at the home of the Pirates, and
day two carries over to UNCW. A
climber may compete at either school
but also has the option of competing at
both locations for a chance to win an
climber may compete at either school
overall major prize in the series. This
year the APC (Adventure Program
Center) at ECU is given its most
successful and hectic turnout for
FlatLanders Fling in both the top-
rope, and the bouldering portions of
the competition. (#) climbers from
different parts of North Carolina
registered, giving the APC staff a
good day of keeping things
organized. There are several
established routes on the wall being
eyed and analyzed by every climber,
just waiting to be conquered. As
participants begin to chalk up, the
excitement along with the music turn
up a notch, while lines begin to
form behind the ropes. On the
second day at UNCW, though the
crowd isnt nearly as large, it
proved to be a success as well.
Aside from the sportsmanship of
competitive climbing, the mixture
of individuals from several
Kelbetononmeelrervaroysrl mites terte
and locations brought together
newly formed friendships. With
the end approaching FlatLanders
Fling and the Eastern Edge
Climbing Series, there is no doubt
that next year will bring more
excitement and more climbers.
So how do Pirates hunker down for what can be a stressful end-of-the-
semester ride? It is true that no two students study the same way, but with
the following tips and observations from experienced Pirates, studying for
exams will hopefully be less stressful.
Tip #1 Dress for Comfort
Apparel of choice: pajamas,
yoga pants, gym shorts, sweats,
t-shirts, Ugg boots, flip flops
and Nikes. The thought here is
absolute comfort. &
Tip #2 Be an Academic Vampire�
An academic vampire, one of the few who has discovered
the vast possibilities in becoming academically nocturnal.§
Look at all the events available on campus during exam
and exam prep time. Most public areas are open 24/7 and a
usually everyone drives themselves insane until midnight.
To avoid all space competition, nervous breakdowns, and
stressful environments, turn your schedule upside down and
make everything available to you.
Rules for being an Academic Vampire:
¢ Commit to relaxing and sleeping during the day.
Unplug from the stresses of the outside world. If it is
important, then tell someone to e-mail you.
¢ Take advantage of all the free stuff and special events on
campus during the day. You will be able to unwind and .
save a lot of money at the same time.
¢ When walking around campus at night, be aware o
everything going on around you. Have a friend or security
guard escort you across campus.

Oh, the weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful,
: a pds,
And since we've no place to go, Let it snow! let it snow! let it snow!
Let It Snow�, lyrics by Sammy Cahn
ECU students would probably rewrite the lyrics to the holiday carol
and explain that the weather outside was more delightful than
frightful. At least, that was the feeling on campus as the Pirates
Jrom all around enjoyed friendly snowball fights, building snowmen
and simply basking in the frigid weather.
Because eastern North Carolina rarely receives more than a
dusting of snow during a typical winter season, the abundance of
winter weather seemed to be welcomed by most of the younger
campus community. And because heavy snow is atypical weather
for the area, snowmobiles and sleds are rarely seen or sold (if they
are seen or sold at all). That didnt stop the creative Pirate minds:
Students could be seen sleddin g on trash can lids, cardboard boxes
and any kind of makeshift sliding mechanism they could find. It was
the kind of fun that little kids dream of.
And big kids, too, as the Pirates proved while enjoying their own
winter wonderland

Here it is again, the snow has fallen, and it has

On the hill over by the West End Dining hall,
Peter Rodenhauser has created a masterpiece on
campus out of this rich white powder.
Throughout the morning, several spectators
spotted the artist and his creation as they walked to and
from the dining hall. A few bystanders stopped to help
Peter lift the giant snowballs on top of each other.
After hours of molding the large body, a face was
carefully carved to inject life into the creation. Voila!
Perched across from West End was a larger than life
snowman that overlooked the north and the south while
entertaining curious students.

_ A Pirate Snow Spell
How often does it snow in Greenville?
Where the land is flat, the elevation is low,
and my body just cant stay still, cant stay still on this white day?
1 am thankful for this season of crisp snow,
of the slick and the slide on those once grassy inclines.
I guess Pll be spending my morning
going where everyone will go:
Down the hill.
_ She goes.
And he tumbles.
And they laugh, exuding heat into the air that spills
Like the steam of coffee into a mug.
Snowball fights.
As opposed to throwing rocks or anger.
which cannot be thrown so playfully.
which cannot be held so lightly.
What is it with sliding down a hill
as fast as you can with very little protection?
Maybe its the fearless child within.
Or perhaps its the adrenaline.
Whatever pushes you to rush on that makeshift sled,
you certainly look happy doing it.
Oh dear, please watch out!
I saw a kid hit his head on his mattress going down that hill youre eyeing.
If you walk away bruised and scraped, dont come cryin,
oh dont come cryin to me.
What is that in your hand?
circular and aimed
my way.
Maybe you should put it back in the ground,
place it on the side
or throw it away.
You are warm enough, right?
Did you put on enough layers?
Warm underwear, socks, and gloves on tight?
Roller coasters in the cold, on a scale
small and tiny.

Tonight was a special night; it was an opportunity to experience true Chinese culture. ECU staff, faculty and
affiliated guests celebrated the Chinese 2010 New Year with those most familiar with it and those
�,�xperiencing it for the first time. A varying demographic in the audience indicated a strong support for the
Chinese community. Children were dressed in authentic Chinese attire, and they sat with their parents gazing
at well-known and foreign faces that admiringly looked back at them. Senior citizens conversed with other
guests in an enthusiastic Chinese tongue, and students anticipated the upcoming performances as they sit
calmly in their seats. A handful of photographers bee-lined for the chance to capture this memorable night.
evening offered a beautiful color scheme of warm red, but every color in the room meshed perfectly with
the master color. The hosts of the evening exercised Chinese and English in their stage dialogue, and they

was much singing and dancing, all performed by children and adults young and old. After the
ntertainment, everyone followed the smell of Chinese food into the other room where guests celebrated the
Cating portion of the tradition. It was clear that the Chinese New Year is celebrated by close knit friends and
family spanning many generations, all collaborating on this one night to welcome new ceremonial
interpretations of an ancient tradition.
In 2009 the outbreak of the H1N1 virus, previously
known as the Swine Flu, generated a storm of fatal
concerns for citizens worldwide. The new strain of the
influenza virus had never been seen before. In its
infant state, it claamed a number of lives, ultimately
resulting in thousands of deaths. Even though there
was an enormous public scare of the virus, it was not
threatening to the majority of the population. Most
people who contracted the virus recovered from it
fairly normally.
Later on in the year, a vaccination was made
public to the community. East Carolina University
began distributing the vaccines to students and the
public on November 2, 2009.

ECU and Beyond...
_ Talking with our International Pirates
International Students discuss Dining Halls, Travel, and Making the Most of Your Experience Abroad
How long have you all been here at ECU?
Ryan: Since August. ,
Christian: Yeah, August [5th.
Troy: ve been here since January the 4th.
Whats your favorite thing about ECU?
| Liliana: The dorms!
Ryan: | really like all the...I dont want to say team spirit, but how everyone is really heavy into ECU.
Troy: I like the really easy multiple choice tests. The US is like the only place that has multiple choice.
What do you think about the dining hall food?
Ryan: It started off decent at the beginning of the first semester
Christian: The first day I arrived and saw the buffet and stuff and I thought, oh I can live here forever! Theres so
much choice! But after one week I realized that its always the same. |
Ryan: Yeah, some things in the dining hall are nice, like the pizza. If you try really hard you can make a pretty
decent meal most times, but its really easy to just take burgers and chips and stuff like that.
What ts the best part of being in the US?
Liliana: Its cheap.
Troy: Yeah its way cheaper to get around than in Australia.
Ryan: Everyone is obsessed with your accent. It makes it really easy to talk to people.
What ts the hardest part of being in the US?
Ryan: Not being able to get around without a car.
Troy: Yeah, you cant go anywhere without someone to drive you.
How do you deal with being away from your boyfriend or girlfriend?
Liliana: Um, its hard, but theres Skype.
Christian: Yeah, Skype especially with video is actually quite good.
What advice would you give to students here who are going overseas to study abroad?
Ryan: Start getting your visa stuff really early, because it is really stressful with the amount of forms you have to do.
Save lots of money.
Ryan: Save more money than you think youll ever need because it means you'll be able to travel.
Christian: I was worrying about the money, that I didnt have enough, but now I realize I have much more than |
_ need.
Christian: I expected to spend much more for traveling.
Liliana: And plan out your travels.
Troy: Yeah, just plan things out if you want to cut down on stress.
Oiwiel omit
Christian is from Frieburg, Germany and is majoring in
Sports Science at ECU. He decided to come to ECU
because of ECUs big sports department. The biggest
adjustments for him were getting used to sharing a room,
living in a smaller city, and not being able to cook. More
than anything he misses his girlfriend, having his own
room, mobility, and good food.
Liliana Olteanu
Liliana is a Psychology major from Tours, France. She came to ECU because it
offered good classes for her major, and because of its location near the beach.
The hardest thing for her coming to ECU was communication; she said The first
weeks were a nightmare to me! I wasn't that good at English and understanding
the accent of American students (for some reason I didn't have problems to
understand teachers) but also the accent of all the international students was
really hard.� The things she misses most are her family, friends, boyfriend, and
French food.

Troy Nicholson
Troy is from Sydney, Australia and is majoring in Journalism. At ECU hes taking two
classes for his major (Media Effects and Advanced Reporting) and two classes just to
try something new (Introduction to Philosophy and Psychology). Troy said the biggest
adjustment for him at ECU was food; in Australia he cooks for himself three times a
day, but here he eats the majority of his meals in the dining hall (and we all know how
that is). When asked about what he misses most about being home, he said I miss a lot
of things about home. Friends and family are the main things I miss, but I keep in
touch with a lot of them via Skype and Facebook. I also miss the little things like Aussie
food, Aussie television and Australian accents!�
Ryan came to ECU from Glasgow, Scotland and is studying
Marketing and Economics. He chose ECU because it was
one of the only schools that covered all of the classes he
needed. The biggest changes for him were not being able to
cook his own meals and having to share a room, and the
things he misses most are his kitchen and a soft drink called

One of the greatest time for a college student is the
day that he or she walks across the stage with a
college diploma. But what about the next steps?
Well, that is what Career Fairs are all about. ECU
hosts several career fairs during the year to help
graduates and graduating seniors connect and
network with employers from around the state and
nation. From corporations and businesses to
academic and governmental agencies, seniors are
given the opportunity to submit portfolios and
resumes to potential employers. Even if students
are not looking to get hired right away, they have
opportunities at the Career Fairs to see what
businesses are looking to find the brightest and
best graduating Pirates.
VULTURE FES
One of the great things about being on campus is being able to get to know
people from different areas around the world. With that in mind, ECU's
Campus Living department created Culture Fest, a day of showcasing,
celebrating and appreciating various cultures and ethnicities.
This marked the third year of Culture Fest, and it was the most vibrant one
yet. With a focus on showcasing student talent and cultural experiences,
the event brought together faculty, staff and students to share dances,
foods, histories and traditions.

From Bhangra to breakdancing, and from Native American customs to
African ceremonies, Culture Fest was filled with energy and passion. It
truly was a day of enjoyment, learning and appreciation of diversity.

urning Spring into Col
It is the end of winter, a time when we celebrate Holi. Holi is an annual tradition
commonly honored by various South Asian cultures. With our friends and family,
we welcome Mother Natures turning of the season. It is still cold; the raindrops
still greet us with chills in their touches; the wind is yet to feel like it hugs our
skins; the sun, although it shines through, the rays are yet to wrap us in warmth.
We are eager to see the color of life grow from the grass and sprout from the trees;
we are looking forward to freshly bloomed flowers dabbled along the median of
highways; we are anticipating warmer weather, and the promise of crops.
Before us is an array of colored powders. These different hues symbolize the
many shades of spring. With the music playing loudly, we are ready to begin the
fun. Throwing powder and chasing each other, we paint ourselves elaborately
with colors and joy. Our faces could cause speculations that perhaps we have
been overcome in a rainbow war zone. The hairs on our heads no longer even
relatively natural anymore; they scream out vibrant, extraordinary, and look at me!
Everyone is laughing, and it feels great although the air is quite chilly, which
explains why we did not include water colors in our celebration this year.
All good things must come to an end, so despite the support and interest in Holi
from the faculty at LWCC (Ledonia Wright Cultural Center) and ASA (Asian
Student Association), our powders ran out. We did well in celebrating the birth of
spring, and we exercised our friendships with one another by coming together and
showing appreciation for this event.May the birds travel back our way, and may
you feel grand after a long winter.

On October 9, 2009, the Ledonia Cultural center
took a group of students to Washington, D.C.
During the three day trip, students discovered
the big city and participated in giving back to
the community. The first day, the group toured
the Capitol building, and then the students were "
given choices on how they would like to spend
their time. They could volunteer at the food
bank, attend a crash course on how to ride the -
metro, or participate in the national equality
march to the capitol. When the students were
not engaged in their events, they were free to
dabble in this sprawling city of big buildings _
and never ending faces. Most students explored
the many museums that D.C had to offer, and
other students visited friends and family that
resided within the vicinity. Volunteering at the
food bank posed a rewarding feeling in that so
little effort from one individual combined with.
the little efforts from hundreds of other
individuals will make an enormous impact on
need based communities. That day, not only
were there volunteers from the local area,
but there were students from several universities
along the east coast all working cased to serve
the ee
The National Equality March took place
the weekend of the D.C trip. It was an act
to promote gay and lesbian rights. There
were a countless number of people not only
exevovmalssviomeltimmerlacermolelary em sxe melieoe
countries as well. This event represented
more than a fight for gay marriage, but
unison of human beings advocating
humanitarian righteousness. The turnout
was beautiful in that the support was
overwhelming; thousands of people
showed up to march. After three days
of exploration, also known as Discover
D.C, it was time to pack up and say
hello to Greenville. As soon as the group
loaded themselves onto the tour bus,
everyone expressed their experience
of the trip, followed by a lingering feeling
in the air that made everyone tired and ©
caused the noise level to drop to only
the sounds of the wheels turning.

Pirates and non-Pirates alike gathered in Wright
Auditorium during ECUs 28th Annual Battle
of the Bands. The event, which took place on
Friday, March 19, included performances by
Mixed Solution, En Serenade, Born under
Punches, Vegas Masquerade, and Crimson
Refuge. All five bands gave great performances,
despite some bumps in the road along the way.
| Crimson Refuge took the stage and got the
| crowd clapping like a U2 concert in the 80s�
with their rock and roll style and melodic
vocals. When asked about his bands
performance after the set, Crimson Refuges
lead singer Cory Nobles, a senior and Geology
major here at ECU, said he thought it went
really well, even though hed been having vocal
problems lately and had an upcoming vocal
surgery.
For En Serenade, who took the stage just after
Crimson Refuge, these bumps in the road were
literal; their van broke down twice on the way
to the competition. Despite spending an hour
and a half stranded on the side of the interstate,
the band still managed to deliver an energetic
performance that drew members of the audience
to the front of the stage.
The event, which awarded eventual winner
Mixed Solutions a $500 grand prize, was
enjoyed by everyone who made it to the event.
Crimson Refuge, didnt make out badly either
and took home the $250 prize for second place.
Mixed Solutions will return to open ECUs 31st
Annual Barefoot on the Mall on Thursday,
April 22. All the bands are really different,�
said crowd member Tara Gardnier. It's been an
awesome show!�

reg Mortenson Ma
Have you read the book Three Cups of Tea? Does the
combination of a veteran climber, a humanitarian, and a New
York Times bestselling author conjure up the name Greg
Mortenson?
| On March 1, 2010, the ECU College of Business invited
Greg Mortenson to speak in the Minges Coliseum in front of a
crowd made up of students, professors, faculty, and community
members. Mortenson is best known for his contributions to
humanity alongside his attempt to conquer Karakoram, mostly
referred to as K2. .
In 1992 Mortenson and his climbing partners took the
opportunity to climb Pakistans K2. He had an objective of
burying his sisters necklace at the summit of the climb, but
failure took his objective and threw it down with the avalanches
during one of the seventy-eight cold days of maneuvering up the
mountain. After his surrender to the treacherous conditions of
the worlds second tallest peak, Mortenson found himself in the
care of the inhabitants of Korphe, a town surrounding the epic
vertical giant that has claimed the many lives of climbers.
During his time in Korphe, though he did not know it yet.
Mortenson was laying down the foundation of strong
relationships with the people of Pakistan. Before retreating to
America, Mortenson left the village with one promise, I will
build a school.�
With that promise came great results and blessings for the
people of Pakistan, and was a testament to the character of Greg
Mortenson. This mans drive and purpose created a ripple effect
that touched not only the beneficiaries of his schools, but
American children, climbers, and politicians; and the ripple was
also evident in the pool of listeners in the Minges Colisiseum.
Mortenson spoke with a gentle purpose in his voice, his
choice of words and mannerism dictated by his purpose to
promote kindness and righteousness. Education is the key to
preventing terrorism and to uplift women into leading healthy
lives, all of which build a community rich in knowledge and
compassion. A prime example is that the Taliban has a higher
chance of recruiting boys from illiterate mothers; this holds true.
During his speech, he applauded every student in the room,
" "" ad
=. 25°F . ce
a
CD
7 Q
ect
rab)
IC.
especially those who will be first generation college graduates,
incredibly emphasizing that knowledge is power. In his book,
he mentioned that his good friend Haji Ali wanted nothing more
than to educate the children of Korphe. In his speech, he
Mentioned that he asked the citizens of central Asia what they
wanted most, and the women replied that they did not want their
babies to die so that they may attend school.
While spreading academic institutions in central Asia,
Mortenson has come to learn that a way to empower people is to
©mpower the elders. When trying to determine what is best for
a country, one should consult the group of seniors. There are
thirty-two provinces in Afghanistan, and in each province there
are ten to twelve elders; these elders are the real integrity and
Power of the country. It is important that we devote time to our
Senior citizens and lend our hands to help our communities, our
World. It is especially essential for progression that we listen
More, we let our hearts speak, and we take good notes.
Though the larger than life success of this one man is now
breathing on its own, it still does not overshadow the hardships
that Mortenson encountered before creating this life. Generating
money to fund his project was many times near hopeless, and
sometimes when things started to look up, it took a turn back
down. Occasionally, the only thing that stood clearly was a
vocal promise, I will build a school.� All else crumbled, it
seemed. Like a phoenix rising from the ashes of working late
hospital shifts, living in less than comfortable quarters, and
rampant traveling, Mortenson combined passion, perseverance,
and patience, ultimately resulting in his success.
Throughout the night, the Minges Coliseum was flooded
with an exuberance of admiration and pride for this bold man in
a dark suit, accented with a purple and gold tie by the name of
Greg Mortenson. 3

A Theatrical Treasure:
Where are you originally from? What interested you in your major?
I'm from Winston-Salem, NC. I lived there until I I've always known that I wanted to study theatre when I
moved to Greenville [for college]. went to college. I never had any interest in another major,
but I always assumed I'd study acting. Once I got to ECU, I
realized that acting wasn't meant for me. But not knowing
what else to study I kept taking theatre classes, including
costuming. Once I was in the class I realized I was actually
pretty good at it and enjoyed it just as much as acting. I love
that everyday I come to campus, I get to work in the
costume shop doing what I love
What has been your weirdest college
experience?
Being a theatre major, we are destined to have weirder
experiences than most students. I've been a part of making
Some very wacky costumes, including a snake, a dragonfly
and a large single breast man. But one of the weirdest times
was in my theatre history class. My group had to present a
Roman play called The Eunuch. We decided to re-tell the
Story as a children's story gone horribly wrong. We ad-libbed
Most of the presentation, but our class and our teacher loved
it. It was so funny and so much fun!
What are you career plans after
college?
I plan on going to graduate school as soon as I can after I
graduate from ECU. I want to continue developing my
skills as a designer so that eventually I can be the head
costume designer for a regional theater or somewhere
even bigger, like for film or Broadway. I'd love to work
at any location or theatre that would allow me to design
and construct costumes for shows.

What are your plans following graduation? |
would like to find a job as a recreational therapist,
hopefully in behavioral health or with special
populations.
Campus Activities: Victory Campus Ministries,
Dowdy Student Stores Customer Service Assistant
What are some of your hobbies and off-campus
interests? I love dancing and anything to do with
creative and expressive arts. I enjoy painting, 3
writing and acting. I travel when time permits; my
favorite place to visit is London. I adore my
golden retriever, Annie, and I never get tired of
listening to any and all types of music.

only as far as I seek

only as deep as I look
can I see,
only as much as I dream
