At the present time, Mendenhall Student Center hous- es the main dining hall of west campus. Mendenhall, first built in 1974, is still in good use today, but is being moved in order to provide more room in the Mendenhall Student Center. The dining hall will be located on the west end of campus. It will include a 600-seat dining hall and a food court adjacent to Readc Circle, where the amphitheater is located. The food will be prepared and served by Aramark, a multi- million dollar food service company already contracted with the univer- sity. "Construction would not begin for another year Brown said . Brown expects the dining hall to be of the same caliber as Todd Dining Hall and a major improve- ment to ECU's west campus. Recently, the Board of Governors of the UNC system approved spending more than $92 million on construction projects at eight UNC campuses around the state. Of that $92 million, $7.4 mil- lion will go into constructing a new dining hall at ECU. The money for the projects is coming directly from the sale of revenue bonds. The bonds are to be repaid from income earned by the facilities through rent, direct sales or fees. "The bonds keep the universi- ty's dining hall improvements mov- ing forward said Richard Brown, ECU vice chancellor of finance and administration. Transit approves raised GPA Requirements uppedto 23 for managers Watt Campus's naw dining hall will be built in the area between Clement and Fletcher Hall where the old amphitheatre now stands. PHOTO IY AMANDA AUSTIN Lawsuit alleges commissioners biased over PCMH privatization Hewlett Packard invites ideas for web site 3 residents cite conflict of interest Jenny Vickers STAFF WRITER Many Pitt County Memorial Hospital and Pitt County Commissioners are adamantly pro- claiming the benefits of becoming a private, not-for-profit hospital. Despite these assertions, three resi- dents of Pitt County have filed a lawsuit against them claiming that several commissioners cannot make a fair decision due to conflicts of interest in favor of privatization. Because Pitt County Commissioners, who have close connections with and within PCMH, elect the consultants to advise them on the hospital's priva- tization issue, several Pitt County residents claim that there will be biases involved in the issue of priva- tization. According to Gene Tranbarger, associate professor of nursing at ECU and former president of the North Carolina Nurses Association, the change will benefit the resi- dents of Pitt County. "PCMH will continue to serve the indigent regardless of its organi- zational status because this is an integral part of its mission Tranbarger said. Pitt County resident Nancy Colville, one of the citizens who has served the commissioners with the lawsuit, claims that the issue is not whether they will continue to care for the indigent, but rather who will pay for it. "The cost of indigent care is negotiable Colville said. "They Many controversial issues stand between the public and Pitt County commissioners regarding the privatization of Pitt County Memorial Hospital, located on Stantonsburg Rd.

Dry STAFF WRITER The Hewlett Packard (HP) Company has recently announced a contest inviting engineering stu- dents to offer their input and ideas for a new Hewlett Packard educa- tional web site. "We currently have an award- winning web site that meets the needs of engineering educators, but students need something differ- ent said Marsh Faber, education program manager of HP's Electronic Measurements Division. "A select group of tomor- row's engineers can help us create a web site that will benefit engineer- ing students worldwide There are 11 openings available in this contest, five of which are opened to students in the United States. Eligibility extends to college sophomores and juniors. "I think it is difficult to offer the contest to seniors Faber said. "At that point, seniors are more con- cerned about graduating and get- ting their first jobs However, HP docs offer some- thing for graduating seniors. Marsh said that HP will send a free book to the student's first job entitled The First Job Survival Guide by Andrea Sutcliffe. Just send your name and the job's address to the HP web site. For sophomores and juniors to participate in the contest, they must submit a two paragraph essay to the SEE WEB SITE. PAGE 2 William LeLiever STAf WHITE The university student transit authority met Wednesday, Topics of discussion included the academ- ic probation policy, a cellular phone policy, the 1998-99 budget, and the maximum hours and salary for student managers. Joey Weathington, student tran- sit adviser, proposed changes to the transit academic probation pol- icy, which were accepted. Transit managers are now required to keep a 2.3 overall GPA instead of the previous 2.0 criteria. Drivers will be warned if their overall GPA goes below a 2.3. Transit managers will be relieved of their position if their GPA goes below a 2.3, but may still work as a driver. "This addition to the existing academic probation policy will help students become more con- cerned with their grades while holding a management position Weathington said. Two cellular phones will be supplied to the transit system. According to Stephen Wright, transit manager, it will allow the drivers' of charter buses that go beyond city limits to reach the Greenville office. The phones will cost about $7.95 a month to use, "For safety concerns on charters we need cell phones when the buses go outside of Greenville said Craig Jackson, operations manager. "The buses run outside the city during the summer 20 to 25 times a month, and during the school year four or five times a month. We also have an employee going to different towns to drop off or pick up retail, buses and equip- SEE TRANSIT. PAGE 3 are already putting a dollar amount on how much they will cover. If they claim they will continue to pro- vide indigent care for all, why are they placing a number on it? Eventually, if the hospital doesn't have enough money to cover indi- gent care, they could retain consul- tants and plead that they can't pay. The county is not obligated to pick up the cost, but morally, they will have to. This means the property tax owners will have to pay more in order to compensate Colville feels a lot of the benefits are misleading. "People arc mis- leadingColville said. "I have official documents to back up what I am saying Colville said. "Who are you going to believe, a person who just talks about it or a person with documents to back them up? A car salesman will sell any car Arlcn Holt, hospital information officer, feels that the privatization is the best course of action. "The County feels it is in the best interest of the citizens to reor- ganize under N.C. General Statute 131 E-8 Holt said. Colville disagrees and wants res- idents to be more concerned about the privatization issue. She said she feels that once PCMH ceases to be public, a lot of negative things will occur in the community. "They will be able to put leans in patients who can't pay their bill in full Colville said. "This means that they can force you to sell your house if you don't have the money. As a public hospital, they arc only allowed to invest in safe invest- ments. When they become private, they can invest aggressively in the stock market. This is a risk because SEE PRIVATIZATION, PAGE 2 Library Science degree not accredited by American Library Association 5winSrTTi For more information www.tec.ecu.edu Program graduates can' work at Joyner Carolyn Rob bins Hyde staff writer Students attending ECU in the library science program might have a big surprise when they apply for jobs after graduation. The master of library science degree at ECU is not accredited by the American Library Association, a qualification that is required throughout most of the country for the positions of librarian within universities, private research, med- ical research or various government jobs. Though it is possible to obtain a job without the accreditation in North Carolina, the degree is not acceptable for most library posi- tions elsewhere in the United States. It is normally not sufficient to meet eligibility requirements for a faculty position as librarian, even at Joyner Library on campus. In 1989, Dr. Lawrence Auld, current chairperson of the Department of Library Studies and Educational Technology, came to ECU in an attempt to secure ALA accreditation. A self-study was con- ducted here at ECU, praised bythc dean at that time as "brilliant" However, the ALA refused recon- sideration. Unfortunately, accredi- tation was never accomplished. "The issue of ALA accreditation was dropped several years ago and is no longer an issue Auld said. When questioned as to the ben- efits of having this degree, Auld stressed that ECU's library science program is approved through the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction, thereby giving SEE LIBRARY PAGE 1 TODAY Cloudy high 79 low 63 TOMORROW Thunderstorms high 74 low 65 Opinion Lifestyle I Sports Your choice to use "morning after pill There's no complaining about Irma Vep go Online Survey www.tec.ecu.edu "Re you pro-choice or pro-life?"

The treatment must be administered within 72 hours of an unprotected sexual encounter. Emergency contraception con- sists of a high dose of hormones in the form of eight pills that reduces the risk of pregnancy by 75 percent The emergency contraception offered by the SHS is not the con- troversial "abortion pill RU-486. Contrary to reports in common fashion magazines, women cannot simply overdose on birth control pills as a method of emergency con- traception. "People just think they can overload on their birth control pre- scription and be fine said Heather Zophy, health education coordina- tor. "Individuals need to go see a health care provider for the pre- scription instead of just reading an article Birth control pills are not a suffi- cient substitute because only cer- tain brands of pills can be used for emergency contraception. Women in need of this service are those who have engaged in unprotected intercourse, those that have encountered a failed form of birth control (ex. a broken condom), or women who have been sexually assaulted. lb obtain access to emergency contraception, a woman must make an appointment with a health care provider at SHS within 72 hours of the unprotected act. The appointment will consist of a visit with a nurse followed by counseling by a health care provider. Occasionally a pregnancy test or a pelvic exam must be administered. A pregnancy test is $5 through the SHS. Emergency contracep- tion pills are $8. "Typically you don't need a pelvic exam, you just need to talk with a provider said Kathy Whitehead, family nurse practition- er with SHS. "You need to know when your last period was and gen- erally what your cycles are like If emergency contraception is prescribed, the provider will explain its use and side effects to the patient. Not every woman is a candidate for this option. A provider will eval- uate the patient's family history in addition to other factors to deter- mine if the patient should have the pills. The concept of emergency con- traception is controversial because of the debate over when life begins. A typical pregnancy happens when fertilization occurs in the fal- lopian tubes and the fertilized egg travels down to implant along the walls of the uterus. Emergency contraception works by inhibiting implantation of a fer- tilized egg in the uterus. Many believe that life begins with initial fertilization, others with implanta- tion. "Typically it's not a pregnancy until the fertilized egg implants in the uterus, but the controversy still there lies Zophy said. Medically, a pregnancy will not show on a test until implantation has occurred. Emergency contraception is completely voluntary and other options are discussed in detail by providers. The SHS is open from 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 9:00 sum. - 5:00 p.m on Wednesdays. Weekend hours are 9:00 a.m12:00 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. 5tj EAST CAROLINA UNIVERSITY Accelerate toward gradual Skate through a Contact your adviser.

"There are dangerous side effects if the morning after pill is used too often Joyner said. "It can lead to blood clotting, and it is not intended to be used as regular birth control The emergency birth control pill is sometimes mistaken as a second-hand type of abortion. Joyner promises that this is not the case. The pill prevents a fertilized egg from implanting in the uterus. This is not at all an abortion because if taken within 72 hours, you are not actually pregnant yet The morning after pill is available at the Student Health Center for just $8. and can be taken up to 72 hours after unprotected sexual intercourse. The pill is most effective if it is taken within 24 hours Joyner said. "But it is by no means 100 percent effective. It reduces your chances of becoming pregnant by about 75 percent Tablets are taken initially and then again 12 hours later. The side effects? You can expect extreme nauseousness and vomiting for a day or so in most cases. Other side effects such as severe headaches, blurred vision, speech problems, or severe leg pain are possible but not common. Be aware, the morning after pill is available, but its purpose is not to replace responsibility. iPyou are sexually active, use condoms or another form of birth control so that you can avoid this situation all together. "The biggest thing that we are stressing is that the emergency birth control pill shouldnot be used on a routine basis Joyner said. "It is not healthy to make a habit of it OPINION BERGMAN Columnist Carter not man for Raleigh job OPINION Bntt HONEYCUTJ Columnist Preacher means spring's here We are lucky to be one of the campuses blessed with a deranged holy man. For most of us, he provides a wonderful comic relief for our lives. You don't truly know that spring has sprung until the crazy preacher comes to town. It makes me smile to see him on the mall ranting and damning us all to hell, because I know that his very presence signi- fies that summer will be here soon. With the kind of screwed-up weather that this place has, he's about the only indicator we have. It's a phenomenon on college cam- puses Bible-belt wide that is scien- tifically unexplainable, but fright- eningly consistent. Every year it's the same. The crowd gathers 'round, all googly- eyed like they're in the freak tent at the carnival. It's reminiscent of the olden days when large win- dows were built on the lower floors of insane asylums so that after church on Sundays people could stroll down and look at the crazies. What I don't understand is the people who get really upset over him. I mean, it's fun to taunt him by saying things like "What's God think about all that prison time you did?" and "How does God feel about you beating your wife and kids, Mr. Preacher Man?" But some folks out there actually take the things he says seriously. You don't take the insane seri- ously unless they have a weapon. How many people get worked up over the guy on the bus swatting invisible flies? The guy in your hometown who is convinced he's the chief of police? The Spice Girls? They really can't help it. All we can do is smile and nod, and thank our mothers for not being on crack when we were conceived. Now, I'll be the first to admit that when you have somebody who thinks he's the messiah and has stockpiled an arsenal of firearms and a small infantry of looney tunes, you've got a problem. But for the most part � if you keep the implements of destruction out of their hands � those who are a fewr bricks short of a load can't really harm those cognizant enough to realize that these chaps are nuts. I think that we should just let them be. If they feel like catching a ride on a comet, who arc we to stop them? And who knows, those Heaven's Gaters could be looking down on us from Hale-Bopp right now, thinking we are all lunatics. We are lucky to be one of the campuses blessed with a deranged holy man. For most of us, he pro- vides a wonderful comic relief for our lives. For some, he challenges their patience and tolerance, which is ironic since he possesses neither of these qualities. And for the easi- ly excitable among us, he builds vocal cord strength. If you really want the demented preacher on the mall to go away (which would be really painful for me � every time I look at him I think of how few weeks we have until classes end), then the best idea is to keep from him that which he craves the most � attention. If he upsets you so much, just treat him like that unpleasant itch in your underwear ignore it, and it will disappear eventually. Carters got some problem with people like my readers and myself. We are studentsevidently we are the problem. � As Ronald Reagan said about us, "Well, there you go again I have no idea what that means, but the crowd seemed to love the saying. I go again, about politics. Thanks to a conservative lawyer, the primaries may be put off until later this year. The primary elec- tion was supposed to be held on -May 5th. I did not even want to write about the primaries. Yeah, go figure, me not wanting to write about politics. The reason I write is that I am scared, truly scared. In one State Senate race, an outrageous possibil- ity exists. Two men are facing off in the election: Bob Martin and Ed Carter. Martin is a nice guy. I have actu- ally met him and liked what I saw. When you tell someone who is in politics you are with the press, you are usually treated with the utmost ass-kissing. Martin treated me with respect before I told him what I do. City council members and others in or running for office usually treat me with respect after not before I tell them. But Martin was differ- ent; I really liked him. Not to men- tion he has a great voting record for some causes that I like. I will not name them; I do not want to come off sounding like a press release or campaign commercial. I would not even write about Martin if his competition did not scare me. Ed Carter is challenging Martin for his Senate seat. During elections I tend not to listen to promises and proposals; instead I look at the past. Voting records and what people try to do while in office are a more accurate way of telling what politicians will do. Carter was mayor of Greenville for one term. After the one term Carter was promptly voted.out of office. Carter's got some problem with people like my readers and myself. We are East Carolina University students, faculty and administra- tion; evidently we are the problem. A plague so much facing the coun- try that we need to be contained. For some of us enrolled in East Carolina now, 1989 and 1990 were high school years. If you were an East Carolina University student in 1990 you would feel the same way I do about Mr. Carter. In case some of you do not know Downtown was closed off for a cou- ple of Halloweens. The scene downtown was different; a lot more people came into town. MTV even mentioned the party that went on here. The party got big, and some people came to the party with dubious intentions. Guns were found, more fights than normal, so I Carter decided to take action. Carter closed downtown for Halloween. It seemed like a good � idea, until parties broke out all over town. Instead of having one central location, the police now had to deal with several different locales. This resulted in a few clashes between the people antf the police. I think Carter really likes stu- dents, he just wishes they would participate more in politics. His answer: call out the National Guard and hope a few students were shot, thus students become politically active. But, that is just what I think Along with the National Guard, Carter wanted to help bring crime down in Greenville. Carter was try- ing to secure funds for the police department. While raising money Carter made a few suggestions to the Greenville City Council. Some of his proposals were either, for lack of a better word, idiotic. One idea sticks out like Michael Jackson at the million man march. The suggestion was to establish a citywidc curfew from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. I really like to go outside and play some ball, sometimes after 6 p.m. With that curfew people like myself would be criminals. As con- servatives like to say, if you outlaw balls only criminals will have balls. He claims to be for civil liberties, but any civil libertarian will balk at such ideas. Carter is what I like to refer to as extremist. A proposal to impose a type of marshal law is not what this city needed and definitely not the person for the job in Raleigh. opiNior (Columnist Grant WHITLEY Advice for intramural experience LJETTER to the Editor Children should be tried as adults I am writing my opinion on what should be done to the two kids who murdered all those people at a school a while back and on the juvenile law of the United States. The judicial system in this country leaves a lot to be desired. I think that kids 13 and up should be held responsible for their actions and suffer the same consequences that any other offender faces when per- forming the same crime. Children that age should know the difference between right and wrong unless they arc mentally ill. I don't see anything wrong with sending them to a juvenile deten- tion center until the age of 18, but after that they should be sent straight to a state penitentiary and serve time like any other adult offender. The two boys who committed that heinous crime should be sent to a detention center until they reach the age of 18 and then sent to a state penitentiary and serve their sentence there. I also believe that they should be tried as adults because, like I said before, they should know the difference between right and wrong and should be held responsible for their actions. Even if the case is that their parents didn't raise them any bet- ter, they should still know the dif- ference between right and wrong. I don't and probably never will understand insanity like that. I would just like to know what is wrong with people and society today. Jim Phclps encourage everyone to par- ticipate in intramural sports. The number of sports avail- able is incredible ECU has a great intramural sports program. Anyone can get together a group of friends and have a lot of fun with virtually no chance of being groped by the President. However, as with anything, there arc problems. That's why I've put together some helpful hints and tips to smooth out the bumps and pave the way to victory. I'm writing specifically about Softball, which is what I've been playing the past couple of weeks. Tip number one: Get a good glove. This is tougher than you think. The glove my dad gave me looked like a piece of dining hall flank steak. After testing both, I can report that the glove's texture and flavor are outstanding, while the flank steak is durable and with- stands lots of hard throws. Renting a glove from the Rec Center has its advantages and disadvantages as well. Advantage: it's free; disadvan- tage: you're not five-years-old. I don't know who buys equip- ment for the Rec Center, but I'd like to put forth some suggestions. If a glove has pictures of comic book characters on it, it's too small. If it says something like "Saf-T- Gluv" or "My First Spalding again, it's too small. I mean, come on, this is East Carolina UNIVER- SITY! Anyone whose hand would fit in the glove I got thinks a party school is one that has a trampoline and a big sandbox. Tip number two: Pick a posi- tion. Remember it's not whether you win or lose, but where you play the game. If you have comprehen- sive dental insurance, catcher is the way to go. Having played catcher, I know what the position entails. Basically you stand behind some alpha male who takes care to miss your head by several inches. Occasionally he will miss the ball, and it will hit you somewhere on the face because you have your eyes closed, imagining that the bat is further away from your head than it actually is. Check for loose teeth, throw the ball to the pitcher, repeat. Tip number three: Size up the opposition. If you sign up for the easy league, your team will be the only one in the league that is actu- ally bad. The other teams are com- posed of people who were sick dur- ing Major League tryouts, and peo- ple who thought their huge mus- cles would restrict their movement. The conversations sound like this. "Yo, dat wuz a good hit, Vinnie "No friggin' way, Lou. Da cover's still on da ball. Next time I'll moider it Knowing your enemy's weak- ness will lead you to victory, rather than causing your team to be a real- istic hitting drill for Lou and Vinnie. All kidding aside, I encourage everyone to participate in intramur- al sports. The number of sports available is incredible, with even dodgcball being offered. Rumor has it that Parking Services will be sponsoring a ticket-writing compe- tition. Points will be awarded for style and number of tickets written, with bonus points awarded for players who ticket legally parked cars. I'm already signed up Big 6 Thursday.

You have to be even better to write good songs about something. Kevin Gordon's better. Cadillac Jack's ttl Son is the Nashville-based musician's debut album on Shanachie Entertainment.

Whatever the reason, we just never get to see some mighty good movies on ike big screen. When they hit video, however, they 're ours for the taking. This series will look at some of the films that did- n V make the Greenville cut, the ones that got away French film smart, funny Mark Brett senior writer 8 OUT OF 10 I really wanted to slam something this week. I mean, really. I've been writing too many positive reviews lately and I'm feeling the need to get a little bile out of my system. Unfortunately, I'm reviewing Irma Vep today, and I just can't rally Hong Kong actress Maggie Cheung stars as Maggie Cheung in Irma Vep. PHOTO COURTESY OF MAGGIE CHEUNG FAN PAGE to the attack. It's such a good- natured little film. Going after it with the critical knives would make me feel like the worst kind of Revlon vivisectionist, removing Thumper's eyes to see if the hair dye damaged them any. So I guess I'll have to play nice. Damn it. Here's the set-up: Irma Vep is a French film starring Hong Kong actress Maggie Cheung (Heroic Trio, Jackie Chan's Police Story) as herself, hired by a French director to play jewel thief Irma Vep in his new remake of the French silent film classic Les Vampires. Got that? It's Maggie Cheung in a French film about Maggie Cheung making a French film. Those whacky Frogs. I'd like to tell you that this con- cept is contrived and confusing, and that Irma Vep suffers for it. I'd like to say that the film is just so much artistic puffery, and should be avoided by any right-thinking film connoisseur. But I can't, because Irma Vep is actually a nice, under- stated comedic character study. It's a quiet little film about the cast and crew of the doomed Ijs Vampires, with Cheung at the center as a son of stranger in a strange land. Cheung oh, that's too for- mal for this film; I'll just call her Maggie. Maggie doesn't speak a word of French, you see, and so she is excluded from most of the conversations going ori around her. She does speak English, thankfully, and so can speak with the bilingual members of the crew. But site still spends much of her time, smiling in confusion as the tumultuous production goes on around her. It would be nice to be able to say that this role is beyond Cheung (that's Cheung the actress, as opposed to Maggie the character). I wish I coulr make some snippy commerfr about her sticking to the Hong Kong action flicks, where she can act with her good looks and stunt doubles. I'd love that. But unfortu- nately, Maggie � er, Cheung is excellent in Irma Vep. Granted, she is playing herself, so maybe the quality of her performance shouldn't be so surprising. But the way she captures that feeling of polite confusion is fun to watch. Mostly, I suppose, she comes across as a very gen- uine character, trying to stay out of all the internal squab- bles going on around her. If I were inclined to be harsh, I suppose I could say that Irma Vep only gives us an ego-stroking, idealized version of Maggie Cheung Maggie becomes an object of fascination for the Les Vampires crew. She seems somehow perfect in their eyes, precisely because she stays out of the all the petty bicker- ing going on around her. But Irma ,Vep is a smarter film than that. Maggie stays out of the squabbles because she's on strange ground, and because she can't understand most of the arguments SEE MAGGIE.

But it just ain't so. The Internet is a perilous place. Nasty, suspicious folks of all sons can snoop in all sorts of ways. We have "cookies" for exam- ple, which are little programs that web sites download onto your computer that give marketers all sorts of personal information: race, age, sex, web sites hit, etc. These are nasty, but not as creepy as just plain old electronic peeping toms. Most of you don't realize that Internet stalkers out there can probably read your e-mail. Again, it'd be nice if ECU would be a little forward-thinking and provide means to keep our e- mail private, but we, unfortunate- ly, have an administration that favors the peeping torn philoso- phy. Therefore, if we want to keep the Constitutional rights to privacy ensured to us by the First and Fourth Amendments, we're going to have to take our own measures for the time being. A simple, quick way to at least make it troublesome for the high- er-ups to invade our privacy is to utilize the password options on word processors. It works like this: Write your message in a word processor (such as Word) WordPerfect, ClarisWorks, etc.) that you and the recipient of your message have in common. After you've written it, click on the "document summary" option under "file There'll be an option called "set password" or some- thing like that. Click on this and type in a password. Then, use a phone or snail-mail and let your recipient know of your password. Finally, mail the word processor file as an attachment. This is not sophisticated at all, and any tenacious administrator can get a computer geek flunky tq decode this fairly easily. But it will make them have to work to read your stuff. There are also a few Freeware programs you can download off the Net. One of the best is written by PGP (Pretty Good Privacy a? http:www.nai.eomdefaultpgp.a sp) There are actually several good privacy programs on their web site. The better ones obviously cost money, but your privacy may be worth it to you.

The continuation of the party's events are scheduled for April 1?-19 at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium. For.the seventh year now, Eastern Carolina Toyota dealers have pledged their support of ECU by sponsoring the Pig-Out portion of the upcoming action. "Their support to assist to underwrite this event is crucial to our ability to raise funds for student-athlete scholarships said ECU Director of Athletics Mike Hamrick in a press release. Also behind the Pirates, United States Cellular is sponsoring the Golf Classic that will be played Friday, April 17, at Brook Valley Country Club, and is hosting special appearances from professional athletes and ECU alumni. Then on Saturday morning, PCS Phosphate holds fast to their support of the Breakfast of Champions where the All Academic team and Outstanding Male and Female Student-Athletes of 1998 will be honored. "One cannot leave this event without feeling proud of East Carolina Univeristy and the student-athletes that are on our campus Hamrick said. Other businesses along with these, plus individual Pirate supporters, have graciously offered gifts and donations to help in accommodations for the weekend. The events planned for this annual party range from the musical entertainment of the Band of Oz and Tin Pan Alley to ECU teams in action. The soccer team will host UNCW, the baseball team is slated to participate in a 3-game series, and fans can get a sneak preview of the football team's performance as they compete for positions. Before these games, some ECU athletes will be featuring an autograph session, and after practicing, the football team will be involved. Assisting the festivities will be a military display of vehicles and equipment from Camp Lejeune in Jacksonville. The ECU mascot, PccDee the Pirate, is going to be celebrating his birthday, and everyone is invited to help him enjoy his birthday cake. A Home and Garden show will exhibit services and items, a craft show is also planned, and Minges Coliseum parking lot, full of rides for both children and adults, adds still more excitement to the anticipated events. On Friday evening, there is a scheduled Pig-Cookin' contest to be held under the stadium that will be highlighted by fireworks, rides, and music during the night. Then the food concessions last all weekend until Sunday afternoon. With such an eventful agenda lined up, all ECU fans, friends, and family are encouraged to come out and participate in the fun-filled activities.

April 18 Baseball's biggest fan shows community what spirit is all about Greene takes extra step for Pirate ball Jason Thi'ringer SENIOR WRITER Jerry Greene, a local truck i driverdock worker, is by far the biggest fan of ECU baseball. That's no big deal, you might say. Well, what is a big deal is that Greene has seen every baseball game the Pirates have played since the start of the 1993 season. As of April 14, his streak stands at 315 consecutive games arid still going. That is not home games only or the not-so-far-away away games in Raleigh or Wilmington, but every game the Pirates have played from Florida to West Virginia and many other states in between. "No question, he is one of the greatest fans we have Head Coach Keith LeClair said "He is there every day and he doesn't care whether we win or lose "He is a great lift to the team and he really helps our spirits out said senior Ryan Massimo. So where does this Pirate fan's spirit come from? We at TEC set out on a mission to find out. Q: How or why does a streak like this get started? A: When the '93 season started, Coach Overton and I were going over the schedule trying to decide what I could do to help out and I just jokingly said, "You know I can go to every one of these games Sun, April 19 6-11:30 p.m. 7 p.m. 7:30-11:30 p.m 8:45 p.m. 9:16 p.m. 10 p.m. 11:45 p.m. . 7-9 a.m. 9-10:30 a.m. 9 a.m5 p.m. 10 a.m6 p.m. 10:30 a.m. 11 a.m. 11 a.m. 11:30 a.m. 11:30-12 p.m. 12 p.m. 12-1 p.m. 12-2 p.m. 12:30 p.m. 1 p.m. 1 p.m. 1-1:45 p.m. 2-3 p.m. 3 p.m. 3:15-3:45 p.m. 3-5 p.m. 4-4:30 p.m. 3:30-6 p.m. 12-5 p.m. 1 p.m. Ticket good for admission to Saturday Golf Clastic Social 8- Auction Golf Classic sponsored by United States Cellular Carnival opens-Aides for all ages) Public invited to walk stadium 'midway' Live radio shows Band of OZ "Live Show" Fireworks-sponsored by Toyota Parade of Pigs Pig Cookin' Contest begins Activities area closes Judging of the pigs PCS Phosphate Breakfast of Champions Greenville Home 8 Garden Show ($3.00 adults12 8 under free) Craft ShowSports Card Show Carnival Children 8 Adult rides Free Health Screening Concessions open Barbecue Plates served until sold out ($3.50advance-$5.00event) Local performance group-TBA Pig Cookin' Contest winners announced Military Equipment Display Jr. Pure Gold and Pure Gold Dance Teams PS.

She also recieved the swimming team's 1998 Iron Woman award. Keep up the good work, Alicia! Men's and women's track prepare for season closing Pirates look to finish season on a strong note Jerry Greene has dedicated the past six years of his life to ECU baseball. He has attended every home and away game since 1993, and is considered by coaches and players as a part of the team. PHOTO �1 CLAY BUCK Q: What is the driving force behind keeping the streak alive? A: The kids on the field. Since this is the sixth year of the streak, none of the kids out there have ever taken a swing or thrown a pitch without me being there to cheer them on and support them. I've always said that baseball is a family sport and I've been fortunate to be part of the family here at ECU over the past five years. The coaches and players have made me feel like part of the family. Q: What is the most memorable road trip you have made? A I've had some interesting road trips. One of the most memorable was in 1993. We played in Raleigh on a Wednesday night and came back. I had to be back in Raleigh Thursday morning for a meeting and we played in Burlington Thursday night. The game was over about 10:30 that night and I drove straight to Atlanta because my brother-in-law had tickets for me to see Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls play Friday night and I couldn't pass that up. 1:30 Saturday afternoon I SEE SUPEHFAM. PAGE 11 STEPHEN SCHRAMM SENIOR WRITER ECU's men's and women's track teams have gone through hell and high water to gee to this point in their season. The high water came during a stretch where rains washed out practices. The hell was the lackluster performances and disappointing finishes that followed. However their seasons can become successes with a strong showing at this weekend's CAA Championships. Both teams had their final meets marred by bad weather. The men's team traveled to Tempe, Arizona for the Sun Angel Classic. The teams competed against each other and a thirty mile per hour wind in their faces. "That's the most wind I've ever been exposed to at a meet It destroyed the meet. Usually it will be bad in the morning and then die down, but this didn't said head men's track coach Bill Carson. The Pirates managed five top ten performances en route to a third place finish overall. The women's team had worse luck with the weather. The meet that most of the team went to was snowed out. The rest of the team traveled to Liberty and scored three top five finishes. Jennifer Prevatt finished second in the hammer throw. Teammate Crystal Fryc finished second in the shot put while Saundra Teel won the heptathalon. These strong performances bode well for the Pirates as they head into the conference championships. Differing levels of emphasis are placed on the CAA meet. "This is one of the meets we shoot for said head women's track coach Charles "Choo" Justice. "We want to do as well, as we can, and have each girl do as well as we can Heading into the meet the Pirates suspect depth is a concern. "I don't know about our depth, I like to think we have enough but I don't think we have the numbers to make a big impact Justice said. The men's team does not place as much emphasis on the CAA meet. Because it is built around the track events and does not compete in every event, the Pirates are not made for a meet of this size. "We'll run our stuff and be about fifth. The conference is getting more competitive. It's getting tough to find places to score points Carson said. The Pirates will head to the meet without one of their major weapons. "We'll be without Ramondo North. He is a Prop 48 player, and our conference doesn't allow prop 48 players to compete. We'll have to go without a big chunk of our team. That will make it rougher Carson said. Another concern is the condition of the team after two straight weeks of extensive travel. "Going to the Texas Relays and Tempe back to back was not a good idea, Carson said. Both teams head to the CAA meet in Williamsburg, Virginia rested and confident. "We're in good shape, we're not hurt, we're not beat down, we're ready for it Carson said. Lady Pirate softball extends winning streak to 11 with Charleston Southern sweep Both games called on eight-run merry rule Travis barkley SENIOR WRITER Charleston Southern proved to be no match for the ECU softball team as the Pirates rolled to a doubleheader sweep at home on Monday. ECU won 10-2 in the first game and 12-0 in the second. Both games were halted in the fifth inning due to the eight-run mercy rule. Charleston Southern actually led the first game, jumping out to 1-0 lead in the top of the first. However, their lead didn't last long, as Pirate slugger Isonette Polonius blasted a two-run home run to left field. ECU would never look back, allowing Charleston only one run the rest of the afternoon. The Pirates scored three runs in the third and four runs in the fifth before the game was called. Starting pitcher Jami Bendle got the win and improved to 12-6 on the season. Bendle allowed only three hits while striking out five. ECU benefited from an aggressive running game, stealing 6 bases in the game and 10 on the afternoon. Polonius had two of the steals and said the team knew they could run effectively early on. 'The catcher sets the play Polonius said. "When the first throw comes in you can usually tell Charleston catcher Jennifer Tompkins had trouble throwing all day. Several of her throws to second were cut off because they were so late. ECU senior right fielder Dawn SEE SOFTBALL. PAGE 10 Big South Pitcher of tit Denise Reagan 1 2-0 0.00 ERA In I f 10 Thursday.

Coming to Norfolk, Va. with a backup of a five-match winning streak, the Lady Pirates came close to ending that series on April 6, 1998. The ECU women's team took two of three doubles matches. Softball continued from page 9 Conrad said that ECU tries to run in every game. "We try to run on every team Conrad said. "We would run on anybody Conrad sparked the Pirate offense in the first game with a two-run double in the first. ECU scored three runs in every at-bat, banging out 12 runs on 12 hits. Big South Player-of-the-Week Keisha Shepperson continued her hot hitting, going two for three with two doubles. Senior Christi Valevich finished 3-4 with two RBIs. Freshman pitcher Lisa Paganini allowed only two hits and struck out six to get the win. Paganini's shutout Was her sixth of the year and raised her record to 7-5. Polonius finished a combined 6-for-7 at the plate, with two doubles, six RBIs and six runs scored. Her double in the first game set a new school record for career doubles. Earlier-this year, Polonius set the career home run record. Top-seeded Anne Svae and Mona Eek defeated Luciana Araujo and Iva Beli 8-3. The No. 3 duo of Catherine Morgan and Gina MacDonald won their seventh consecutive match, with an impressive .8-4 decision over Michelle Wells and Lacey Lee. Sophomore Michelle Martin and junior Morgan both recorded singles wins, too. Martin, playing at the No. 4 spot, defeated Stephanie Smith 7-5,6-2. Morgan, on the other hand, won her fifth straight match, topping Wells 6-4, 6-1 at the No. 6 position. "After my third year playing tennis for ECU, I'm having a lot of experience and I feel confidence coming into my game Morgan said. "All singles matches were a constant up and down for us. We were really close to beating them for the first time Both their scheduled matches against No. 67 UNCG on April ff and against No. 35 N.C. State on "As a player, I don't keep track of how many doubles or home runs I hit Polonius said. "It feels good, but I don't really pay attention to records The sweep extended ECU's winning streak to 11 games, winning 27 of their last 32 games. Overall, ECU stands at 34-16, 9-1 in the Big South. Charleston Southern dropped to 2-37, 0-8 in the conference. Polonius said the Pirates have enjoyed their recent home stand after playing on the road much of the season. "In the long run it gets tiring (playing on the road) Polonius said. "It's nice to have fans there for vou The home stand will be the last for the Pi rate Tuesday were postponed due to inclement weather and may be made up at a later date. According to Morgan, the team is in good shape and ready for this weekend's conference tournament, where the sixth- seeded Lady Pirates will take on third-seeded Richmond in their first match at noon on Friday. Their matches will go through Sunday and will take place at Richmond's Byrd Park and the University of Richmond tennis courts. "We have a good chance of doing really well this year Morgan said. "We have been practicing very hard and I think that we could do better than we did last season The team looks to improve from 1997's fifth place finish in the CAA standings. Overall, the Lady Pirates concluded the spring with a 9-6 (3-1 CAA) record, their sixth straight winning season. seniors. Conrad is one of three seniors on the team. She says she has mixed emotions about playing her final home games. "I've had a fun time, but I'm ready to move on Conrad said. "I've had a good career ECU will continue Big South play this weekend with double-headers at UMBC on Saturday and at George Mason on Sunday. The Lady Pirates picked up two wins against Charleston Southern. ECU now holds a 9-1 conference record.

Q: Which game stands out as the most memorable that you have seen? A: I can't say which one stands out; there have been so many. There have been so many of them. I've seen games where we were playing here and we were down six runs in the bottom of the ninth with two outs and nobody on and we end up tying the game. Playing in the regional (the qualifying tournament to the College World Series) was a lot of fun. Winning the CAA tournament in Wilmington was a lot of fun. I enjoyed that. As for picking one I can't really do it. After 312 games they tend to run together. Beating Tennessee when they were ranked second in the nation was memorable. We beat a team that people said couldn't be beat. That was a wonderful moment. Beating Clcmson for Keith's first victory in Clemson was memorable. It was the first time they had lost a home opener since 1984. That was fun. They've all bcerTa lot of fun. Q: What helps make the streak possible? A The biggest reason I can do it is because of my wife. She is wonderful. She supports me and. allows me to do it. Without her I could never do it. And my work schedule allows me to do it. They work real well with me. They allow me to get off work early for some afternoon games and I have vacation days saved for the away games that are a problem. Another supporter is the coaching staff. They are real friendly toward me and I thank and respect them for that. Every sports team hopes to have fans like Greene. It is apparent that the ECU baseball team is lucky to have this fan on its side. Congratulations, Jerry, on being a rabid supporter of Piratebaseball. I hope I'm there to see the day his streak reaches 400.

From the outside, you can't tell any difference between Lyons and his friends. They share common interests and look like ordinary college students. Lyons hangs out with his friends so much that he even smalls like them. "I can't escape it he says. He smells like his friends because most, including his roommate, are smokers. And Lyons is part of the non-smoking minority. Non-smokers such as Lyons are greatly out numbered in downtown Greenville. On a typical night most bar patrons, like Matt Dillon, are cigarette smokers whether they smoke a pack a day or only smoke while consuming alcohol. Dillon, an ECU junior, has tried to quit, but the power of nicotine was"too great. "I light a smoke in my car, after a good meal, and about a pack when I'm drinking he said. Dillon's New Year's resolution was to quit smoking, but his resolve lasted less than an hour. Dillon and his roommate, fellow nicotine addict, Fonzie Weninger, have adopted a smoke- free homeplace, vowing, no matter how cold, not to smoke inside. "Me and Fonz got some new furniture a while back and we don't want to stink it all up said Dillon. Perhaps Dillon and Weninger should be more concerned with their health than their new furniture. According to the American Cancer Society, smoking is a leading cause of lung cancer. But they still have time to quit. A 1990 report by the Surgeon General says that after 15 years off cigarettes, the risk of death for ex-smokers returns to nearly the same level of those who have never smoked. In recent years, there has been According to the American Lung Association, secondhand smoke is responsible for an increase in smoke free environments. People can no O longer smoke in some malls or even at work. At ECU, the only places to smoke on campus are in some faculty offices, residence halls, and outside. This is because of a concern about secondhand smoke. According to the American Lung Association, secondhand smoke is responsible for about 3,000 deaths each year. In the fall of 1995, Donna Walsh, director of Health Promotion and Well Being, conducted an informal survey of 300 ECU students, asking them about smoking. There turned out about ,000 deaths to be slightly more non-smokers than smokers. "The interesting part is that the majority of non- smokers we surveyed said they would have a serious relationship with a smoker she said. When asked about secondhand smoke, Lyons said his roommate doesn't smoke in their house, but he is still exposed to secondhand smoke at his friends' houses, in their cars, and especially at' parties and downtown. Joked Lyons, "If I didn't hang out with smokers for one whole day, I'd probably crave a cigarette Students addicted to nicotine Quitting options available to smokers Amy Wagner FOCUS SECTION WHITE. She wanted it when she woke up and went to bed. She craved it at least 20 times a day. Alison Koppel, an ECU sophomore, was addicted to nicotine. Nevertheless, after three years of smoking, she quit 14 months ago. "I have so much more energy Koppel said. "Now I can keep up with the hot guys when I work out Koppel acknowledges her decision to quit as the best one she has ever made. Quitting not only adds years to your life, but has immediate benefits as well. The American Red Cross points out that within 20 minutes of your last cigarette there is a drop in your blood pressure and heart rate. After 48 hours, damaged nerve endings start to regrow, enhancing your ability to smell and taste. According to the American Cancer Society, more than 38 million adults have already quit smoking; It was Koppel's 1997 New Year's resolution. "I just quit cold turkey Koppel said. For others, quitting may not be that easy. That is why many smokers rdjy on over-the-counter nicotine replacement drugs. These drugs, help ease the pain of nicotine withdrawal without the tar and other chemicals in cigarettes. Nicotine gum cost around $50 for 100 pieces, and like cigarettes, you must be at least 18 years old to buy it. Nicorette, a popular brand, suggests using the gum with a support program. To find one in you area there are toll free numbers to call. Nicorette reports that only about five percent of users continue chewing the gum Where to call for help on quitting smoking American Lung Association: 1-800-5864872 American Cancer Society: 1-800-227-2345 American Heart Association: 1 800-242-8721 after they quit smoking. Nicotine patches costs around $50 for 14 patches, or two weeks worth. One patch is placed on your arm or hjp � a day to continually pump nicotine into your blood stream. Nicotrol, a brand, of patches, warns that people with sensitive Skin may not be able to use this product. The American Lung Association recommends a nicotine inhaler, called Nicotrol Inhaler, which you actually suck on regularly to get the nicotine into your body. The FDA recently approved this product, and it should be on the market within a few months. The American Heart Association cautions that nicotine replacement drugs should not be used by people with heart problems or ulcers, In addition, there is a high risk for nidotine overdose if the user continues to smoke or use other products containing nicotine. Trevor Van Meter, an ECU senior, smoked for two years. Four months ago he quit smoking with the help of his doctor. He was prescribed pills that do not contain nicotine. "I tried the patch, but they made me feel sick and restless Van Meter said. "These little pills worked like a charm His doctor informed him that the treatment last from seven to 12 weeks, but it only took' him five. k is difficult to quit smoking, but not impossible.

April 16, 1998 frcUSfrsodioi) The East Carolinian Lawsuits threaten eastern NC tobacco Tobacco farmer believes regulation will mean industry's devastation Nikki Hayes � FOCUS SECTION WRITER S. G. Hayes of Henderson is afraid that he may be on the endangered species list. That's because he is a. tobacco farmer. ft number of states attorney generals are suing the United States . cigarette industry for money paid by the states to treat smoking related illnesses. The settlement proposed could cost cigarette manufacturers $368.5 billion over 25 years. It could cost Hayes and other farmers their entire way of life. If the proposal is approved, cigarette companies will be buying less tobacco. This is bad news for small' farms, like Hayes's. In order for the farmers to break even or better, the government will have to buy their allotments from them. An allotment is the number of pounds that one can grow on a farm in a year. If the farmer wants to grow more tobacco than his allotment will allow, he must rent or buy an allotment from another farmer. Cigarette companies must know two years in advance how much tobacco they are going to purchase. Allotments are assigned accordingly. The more open land a farmer has, the larger his allotment. Almost three percent of the United States population makes a living working with tobacco, from the farms to the cigarette manufacturers. North Carolina produces 60 percent of the flue-cured (dried with artificial heat) in the United States. Hayes estimates that 90 percent of North Carolina farmers probably grow some tobacco. "North Carolina would die without tobacco he said. According to Mitch Smith, of the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service in Pitt County, there are about 200 active producers of tobacco in Pitt County. Last year, tobacco generated $62 million here. Pitt County ranks tenth in the state in farm cash-receipts. That adds up to a large portion of local income. Hayes began farming tobacco as a boy with his father. Then when he married in 1957, he purchased his first land for growing tobacco. He split half an acre of land with another farmer and each grew a quarter of an acre of tobacco. Hayes now owns farms in Franklin County and leases farms in Vance and Warren counties. Together his four farms total 264 acres. He also leases allotments from other farmers. Last year, he grew more than 390 acres of tobacco and 900 acres of soybeans. However, Hayes said he would never grow soybeans if he didn't grow tobacco. There simply isn't enough money in soybeans. While an acre of soybeans brings a farmer $150 - $180, an acre of tobacco may bring in $3,500 - $4,000. Hayes is a member of the Tobacco Growers Association of North Carolina, which supports the concept of a tobacco North Carolina produces 60 percent of the flue-cured (dried with artificial heat) in . the United States. Hayes estimates that 90 percent of North Carolina farmers probably grow some tobacco. "North Carolina would die without tobacco' he said. settlement. In the event of a government buyout, the association supports provisions granting the farmers $12 a pound if they own allotment and planted the tobacco, $8 a pound if the own the quota, or allotment, and $4 a pound if they planted the tobacco. While this may sound like more than reasonable compensation, Hayes points out that if he had to stop growing, tobacco, he would have $1 million of useless farm equipment and not enough land to grow anything else that could make him a living. Hayes said tobacco's effect on the average person is not recognized. "The average person doesn't realize where taxes would come from if they did away with tobacco Hayes said. I I His point? Every acre of tobacco grown in the U.S. for domestic consumption generates more than $46,000 in state and federal excise taxes when sold as cigarettes and smokeless tobacco. If tobacco were regulated and the amount of tobacco grown and sold in North Carolina is cut, taxpayers will have to pick up the tab. Hayes wonders if his son Mike and Mike's three sons will be able to carry on the family business or if legal battles will put an end to their tradition. gar up in goes Shop owners says soaring market steadies Carl Mothes FOCUS SECTION WRITER Everyone from Wall Street millionaires to college students have been lighting up their stogies. Cigar smoking has become the trend of the 1990s. But think twice before buying your $300 humidor. According a Greenville cigar store manager, Richard Peterson, the cigar smoking trend, which began five years ago in urban areas, is now on the decline. For the past few years urban cigar profits have continued to fall two to three percent each year. Peterson, manager of Onix, a cigar and tobacco store located downtown, has attributed the rise and fall of the trend to a feeling of nostalgia. Cigars are also a backlash against conservatives, an affordable luxury, and status symbol. "In the 1980s people Would indulge in Porsches, but now the money isn't available Peterson said. He feels the cigar market has reached a point of saturation, and everyone who will smoke cigars are smoking them. Despite the urban decline Onix has continued to increase profits 15 percent to 20 percent each year for the past three years that it has been open. Peterson attributes- the increase to there being no other competitors nearby. As for the trend's decline Peterson said, "It's been a hell of a ride; a lot of people have made a lot of money" While Peterson has enjoyed the cigar smoking trend, Joel Duncan, who has been smoking cigars for six years, resents it. "I hate to do what trends are; prices have gone up; costs have doubled Duncan said. He can often be caught sitting in front of his flashing computer screen with thick smoke wafting from an El Rey Del Mundo in hand. Duncan spends about $20 a week on cigars which may appear modest when compared to individual cigar prices averaging $5 to $10 and reaching upwards of $20 to $30 for a 'fine' cigar. For him cigar smoking is all about pleasure. Duncan said there are risks and costs involved with everything, and you have to weigh both the costs and the benefits. Some current health risks for cigar smokers as determined by the American Cancer Association include: higher tar and nicotine concentrations, up to 40 times that of cigarettes; cigar smokers are more likely to develop persistent coughs, phlegm, and peptic ulcers than cigarette smokers; and cigar smokers are up to 10 times more likely to die from laryngeal, oral, and esophageal cancer than cigarette smokers Duncan, a graduate student in the counseling school and graduate coordinator of Slay and Umstead residence halls, believes that many statistics about the health risks from smoking cigars are manipulated. And this causes cigar smoking to appear more harmful than it is. "Statistics lie he said. "You can make numbers say anything you want them to say. The minimal health risks don't outweigh the maximum pleasurable benefits Both Peterson and Duncan agree that smoking is a personal thing. In addition to cigars, both also smoke a pipe. Peterson feels that when the cigar smoking trend is finally over, pipes will be their successor as the next fad. "Pipes give you more to do Peterson said. "It's a busy habit Accordingly, Peterson is preparing Onix for the projected pipe smoking trend by stocking the store with quality pipes, premium pipe tobacco, and pipe accessories. .the ithe 1 � � eastcarolinian Amy Royster Editor-in-Chief Heather Burgess Managing Editor Celeste Wilson Cover and Layout Design focus Focus is a combined effort between The East Carolinian and Shearlean Duke's Basic Reporting class in the Department of Communication. 4 Thursday, April 16. 1998 focus section Tha East Carolinian Cancer warnings go unheeded by students Smoking poses threats to health Angela Powell FOCI'S SECTION tt R I T �: R Everyone has read the warnings about smoking and cancer, but many people believe that they are invinceable, and say, "It can't happen to me, I'm too young. Besides, I'm not addicted, I'll quit smoking tomorrow But for a lot of people, tomorrow may be too late. "I don't think that I"ll ever get lung cancer said sophomore Amanda Laeng. "I don't smoke that often anyway. I probably just threw away my last pack This is the attitude of many smokers. But the damage may already be done. Symptoms may not appear for years after the disease has already set itself up, according to medical experts and the American Cancer Society. Cigarette smoking also can lead to laryngcal, oral and esophageal cancer, and is associated with cancer of the pancreas, urinary bladder and kidney, according to the Surgeon General's office. Tobacco smoking is by far the leading cause of lung cancer, accounting for up to 90 percent of all cases of the disease, according to the American Cancer Society. Lung cancer, however, is the leading cause of 1 cancer death among both men and women in the United States, m and is the second leading "w cause of death in the US. In Pitt County, for 1997, it was projected that there would be 60 new lung cancer cases diagnosed, and there would be 60 lung cancer-related deaths, according to a study performed by the North Carolina Central Cancer Registry. The American (lancer Society estimates that for the I IS in 1998, about 171,500 new cases of lung cancer will be reported. 91,400 among men and 80,100 among women. Iung cancer will account for about 14 percent of all new cancers and about 29 percent of deaths from cancer. A n estimated 160,100 deaths are expected from lung cancer: 93,100 among men, and 67,000 among women, accounting for 28 percent of all cancer deaths. Since 1987, more women have died each year of lung cancer than of breast cancer, which had been the major cause of cancer death in women for the past 40 years. The cancer death rate for womea smokers is 67 percenthigher than for non-smokers. The following percentages show the increase in respiratory and digestive ailments among women smokers, as jjj compared to non-smokers: bronchitis 300 percent; emphysema: 300 j percent; chronic I sinusitis: 75 percent; peptic ulcers: 50 percent. More and more data show - cigarette smoking during pregnancy can damage to a fetus, causing helath and developmental problems in newborns and children.
