Playhouse manager arrested
on counts of embezzlement
Missing monies more
than originally thougfit
Amanda Aistin
news editor
The ECU Playhouse manager was
arrested Thursday by the SBI's
Financial Crimes Unit for allegedly
embezzling money from the private
Theatre Arts Foundation. Gary
Faircloth, playhouse manager and
treasurer of the private theatre
foundation, was initially suspected
of embezzling approximately
$15,000, an amount that has nearly
doubled since his suspension in
May. ?
Faircloth was initially suspended
with pay in connection with the
missing funds. He now stands
against four counts of embezzle-
ment and one count of forgery.
In May, the SBI was asked to
investigate irregularities in the
Theatre Arts Foundation, a
request that came directly
from Chancellor Richard
Eakin.
Agent Curt Ellis, supervi-
sor of the SBI Financial
Crimes Unit, led the investi-
gation which led to
Faircloth's arrest, and said the
evidence against Faircloth is
solid.
"He is on leave with pay
impending an appeals hear-
ing said Toi Carter, assistant
university attorney.
The impending appeals hearing
was requested by Faircloth.
At this stage of the investigation,
the university attorney's office is
involved with the case.
"We are only involved in the
appeals hearing Carter

Faircloth's request for an appeals
hearing falls under the ECU per-
sonnel employees
exemption from state
personnel act.
"Mr. Faircloth is
requesting an appeal
under those provi-
sions Carter said.
The university
attorneys office was
unable to give specif-
ic information
regarding the case
against Faircloth,
other than the pend-
ing appeals hearing.
After his arrest, Faircloth was
held at the Pitt County Detention
Center until he was released on a
$35,500 secured bond.

Today is the day, will it be generation next or
the real thing. Bid submissions for Pepsi-
Cola and Coca-Cola exclusive pouring rights
at ECU are due.
Exclusive pouring rights usually include
all university vending machines, concessions
at sports events and the cafeterias. In addi-
tion, the company would also have the ben-
efit of exclusively advertising on campus for
product promotion.
Richard Brown, vice chancellor of admin-
istration and finance said, both companies
are expected to submit bids. Both compa-
nies have been calling to ask questions and
make clarifications.
If all bids are in on time the Board of
Trustees final decision could come during
their July 17 meeting.
"The choice of the board will be to reject
all bids or accept one bid Brown said.
"(The Board of Trustees) can only accept
the highest bid. The one with the most ben-
efits for the university
It is the Board of Trustees' responsibility
to review both bids carefully.
"The information will have to be put into
a spreadsheet to evaluate the net present
value of the total amount Brown said.
"The evaluation committee will review
spreadsheets and bids and review pros and
cons
There are other factors the evaluation
committee will have to review. The board
wil have to review options of full exclusivi-

panies to have 25 percent of shelf space) and

five or 10 years.

In the summer, the down-
town area affects campus life,
and not just for the students.
Since central campus is the most

Greenville may not be the largest
of cities, but that won't stop its citi-
zens from making the largest of
efforts at celebrating
Independence day.
For those who are looking for a
July 4th outing, the place to visit
will be the town commons, which
will be teeming with festivities all
day long. The town commons will
be the site of Greenville's Annual
Fourth of July Celebration, spon-
sored by the Greenville Jaycees
and other area businesses.
According to Will Paul of
Greenville Parks and Recreation,
outside fireworks will not be per-
mitted, nor will alcoholic bever-
ages. Events will begin Friday at 6
p.m. begins a carnival, which lasts
until 10 p.m. and $7 will purchase
unlimited rides. The day will
begin on Saturday with children's
events, but throughout the day
there will be something for every-
one. The main event of the day will
be a classic car show, for which reg-
istration begins at 9:30 a.m. and
continues until noon. The show
itself is from 9:30 until 3 p.m.
There will be musical acts and
entertainment throughout the cele-
bration, as well as food, crafts and
cold Pepsi.
Traditionally, the high point of
Independence Day is fireworks.
The Jaycees and Greenville Fire
Department promise a worthwhile
show. The fireworks show begins at
9:15 p.m. and will finish off the
evening with a bang.
Festivities at Town Commons
exclude drinking, and for those
who want to partake of a refreshing
alcoholic beverage on the fourth,
celebration will have to take place
elsewhere. Although the fourth
takes place on Saturday, none of
the downtown establishments con-
tacted planned on having drink
specials or Independence Day
activities.
However, the Greenville Police
Department anticipates a greater
number of intoxicated drivers than
usual, due to picnics and private
parties.
"We will have the entire police
force out at one time or another
said Captain Kevin Smeltzer, of the
Greenville police. "We have a
mutual aid program here in
Greenville, so officers from other
departments will be here to help

Career Services puts resumes
online for students, alumni
Service planned to
be?n fall semester
Debbie Neuwirth
STAFF WRITER
Career Services is now offering to
help students put their resume
online. They are also making it
available to register online and to
explore career options. The
unveiling of these services is
aimed for August 1, but will defi-
nitely be available by fall.
This new service to put your
resume online is aimed at seniors,
graduate students and alumni.
The program and home page have
been online for a couple of years,
but the new software will better
enhance the ability for first year
students, sophomores, and juniors
to explore their options. The pro-
gram, called Career Quest, and
with employers to submit their job
leads.
The program offers a variety of
options. Students can check posi-
tion listings and do a job search.
The program also displays help on
how to develop an effective
resume. There are help sessions
offered every Monday at 4 p.m. to
explain the process to students.
"Not everyone is at the same
level said Lemar D. Bell, assis-
tant director of career services.
"We can help reach them and
make them feel comfortable with
this service
Another advantage for students
is that they can go online at any
time to sec which companies have
looked at their resume.
"Students have the opportunity
day or night to find out who is hir-
ing. I really don't see any down-
falls Bell said.
"Students can now use the
home page as a gateway to hun-
dreds of job sources said James
Westmoreland, director of career
services.
The registration process is an
online aspect as well.
"This service will teach people
how to look for jobs in their area
Westmoreland said.
This program is an attempt to
get freshmen and sophomores
logged on early so they will have
some help with career decisions
and planning their own course
selections. Keith Kulowiec, a

teaching certificates, they would
have real-life experience and can
take the classes to become certi-

"I think this (Alternative
Certification) holds great promise
when we're not getting as many
young people coming out of the
normal process into teaching
Clayton said. "Some areas of
North Carolina are having a phe-
nomenal growth. With us relying
on traditional ways to get teachers,
we're going to be short. We're
already short on master's certified
teachers
North Carolina is scheduled to
be the fourth state in the amount
of growth in its population, accord-
ing to Richard W. Riley, secretary
of the U.S. Department of
Education and keynote speaker at
the seminar.
Dr. Marilyn Sheerer, dean of
the school of education, believes
the deficit in teachers- particularly

teaching was one of the only career

Though the local Pepsi bottling
company is owned by the Minges

depend upon who submits the
highest bid because the state bid-

a.m. into three sections: from

surrounding the Cupola, and
from Mendenhall Student Center

according to groundskeeper
Stanley Valentine.
After these teams clear their
designated areas, the second step

the grounds department was
cleaning up the debris left by stu-
dents moving off campus or back
home for the last part of the break.
"Wednesday was the busiest
day of the summer, yet Caldwell
said. "But before the fall semester
starts, there will be an acquisition
of sixteen more trash cans to
accommodate the amount of stu-
dent waste.
A large part of littering stems
from the way smokers habitually
throw their finished cigarettes
away on the ground instead of
using an ashtray or an ashtray urn
placed on top of the metallic trash
cans. While the solution to the lit-
tering of cigarettes can only be
started by social habits, Valentine
of the grounds department did
offer a suggestion to stop the
action.
"If the students were required
to wear a visible number on their
clothing, a witness of their infrac-
tion could use the number to
identify the litterer Valentine
said.

Despite tremendous effort and glorious results, the beautification committee's work is being se-
verely undercut by Pirates of the worst kind ? litterbugs. Why? Regardless of multiple trash cans
scattered strategically across campus, lots of people will chunk their waste carelessly about. Everyone
wants a pretty campus to show off to our family on Parents Weekend and to our friends from other
universities, but few of us are disciplined enough to put our trash where it belongs on a daily basis.
But litter is not a new problem on campus. Grounds manager Doug Caldwell said litter has been a
tremendous problem through much of ECU's history. Between Tuesdays and Thursdays 12-15 per-
cent of his staffs time must be spent on litter maintenance and control alone, with much of this effort
going to clean up the area around the Wright Place. Since this area is the most littered on campus, a
food service worker is employed strictly to keep the area clean.
On other days, other parts of campus hold remnants from residents' visits downtown. Caldwell
said 25 percent of the groundskeeping work is picking up after students ? an embarrassing duty
since we are all adults and we know what trash cans are for. What's worse is that West Campus and
College Hill remain strewn with trash after these party nights, and sometimes there's a distinct path
designating the transition students make from their Fifth Street felicity to their respectable rooms.
There's simply no excuse for it. It's time to cultivate a two-way relationship with our alma mater
and realize that our relationship with ECU extends beyond expecting services from the residence
halls, library, Rcc Center and food distributors. We may not choose to give back, but we can certainly
clean up.
Though there appears to be an inherent tendency toward laziness, it's time for all of us to realize
that our mothers don't live here to clean up our mess.

Complaining's like teletubbies
What's the friggin' deal uiith
pseudo-freshmen and the
Elbo? What the hell is a
Teletubby and why is it filling
my airwaves with a plague
worse than Barney? What
No Ginger Spice? What is the
thinking?
As I haven't really done much
Lflat out complaining this summer?
or at least as much as we're all ac-
?customed to ? I decided that I
Jwould take this opportunity to ad-
?dress a few things that have been
Jon my mind of late.
I Number One: What's the
?friggin' deal with pseudo-freshmen
Jnd the Elbo? Why doesn't anyone
?tell them how bad the place sucks?
?if it weren't for their complete ig-
norance of the principles of good
?taste in a nightclub (and that's not
?their fault), that place would have
$een closed down and used as a
Jehovah's Witness temple years ago.
Somehow they continue to flock to
it like flies to poop (and what a fit-
ting analogy). The only answer is
that there is a nationwide con-
spiracy to delude high school se-
niors that the 'Bio is the place to be
through various methods of mind
control and hypnosis. You know
those 3D posters you buy in the
middle of the mall at Christmas that
you stare at until you look like a
drooling dolt? They are all encoded
with secret devices to convince 18
year-olds that the Elbo is cool. I ac-
tually saw one once that said "Come
to the Elbo. Ignore the fact that ev-
eryone in here looks more lost than
yourself. Don't look in the corner
at those 40-year-old men with no
teeth trying to pick up every girl
that sets foot in the door. No, you
don't have to be 21 to drink; that's
just a rumor. This is heaven I'm
lucky I escaped with my sanity in-
tact. Sort of.
Number Two: What the hell is
a Teletubby and why is it filling my
airwaves with a plague worse than
Barney? After seeing the show
once, I understand why it is so con-
troversial. Not because of the fact
that they attract and hold the atten-
tion of a much younger audience of
children than scientists thought
possible, thus addicting them to TV
at an earlier age and robbing them
of time that should be spent devel-
oping motor function and interper-
sonal skills necessary to life as a hu-
man being?all as a marketing ploy
for the Teletubby dolls and as a ve-
hicle for global domination by the
British. Nope, I hate it because I
know college students who are
skipping class because they fall into
the enhancement of that slow mov-
ing little world. How can anyone
avoid becoming a moron when four
monkey-aliens are gaga-ing at you
for an hour every day? What's worse
is that their brand of patronizingly
smug cuteness is addictive. You
need to be made to feel stupid ev-
ery morning at ten.
Number Three: What No
Ginger Spice? What isshe thinking?
My life is mined. Now I have to find
a new victim of my sarcasm. Hanson
sounds like a good candidate
I'm running out of ranting space,
so here are some quickies. I went
to ladies night downtown the other
night. O.K diere are four guys here
and 607,875 women ? and they're
all in heels, skirts, big hair and
makeup. Why? They're only im-
pressing each other. The four guys
didn't even shower.
Why do people come into the
place where I work (no names ?
my stalker and I prefer to keep to
ourselves) where I am obviously
wearing a uniform and working ?
and ask if I work there? Do they
think I do that crap for fun? Who
walks into a store and starts straight-
ening things on the shelves out of
the kindness of their hearts?
Why not shave the armpits?
Come on. I understand the Back to
Nature Granola Girl Movement and
the "I don't have to subject myself
to society's standards" spiel, but
can't you just buy some
Birkenstocks or something? Go live
in a commune in the desert? Do
you really have to let the armpit hair
hang?
That's all I have for today,
kiddies. Stay tuned next week for
another dose of gratuitous bitching.
It's like a drug or an episode of the
Teletubbies, isn't it?

everybody hates to admit that they
like. To all those people who have
seen Animal House, and unfairly
label us as hazing, alcoholic wom-
anizers and promiscuous air headed
bimbos: get bent.
It's time to examine the facts.
First, The Center for Advanced So-
cial Research In St. Louis found
that Greeks were 18 percent likely
to drop out college within the first
two years, whereas the general
population wqs at 25 percent. Why
is this? Because the Greek system
motivates their members to achieve
scholastically, and give the person
a circle of friends, which they don't
want to leave. Therefore, we have
more motivation to stay in school.
Second, Greek organizations are
very charitable organizations. We
think we can take the criticism of
being more generous than the av-
erage student. Charities such as the
Greenville Community Center and
The Red Cross depend on these
rather large donations to keep them
operating. Also, Greek organiza-
tions also volunteer at local area in-
stitutions such as the Boy's and
Girl's Club, and to help the elderly.
Finally, 85 percent of our top
business and governmental leaders
have been Greek. Many U.S. presi-
dents, congressmen, CEOs, Su-
preme Court Justices, Generals, Ad-
mirals and top entertainment per-
sonalities have been Greek. Is it
that book smarts will only get you
so far? Is it that employers want
someone who is socially developed,
and can relate to other people?
So what it boils down to is
straight jealousy. We are more suc-
cessful. We are more charitable. We
are achievers. And yes, we throw a
pretty good bash every once in
awhile. In other words, we have a
better college experience. To those
who think you we are paying for
our friends, most of the money we
pay is for insurance,and we still ac-
cept them as our brothers and sis-
ters, even if they don't pay dues, or
i f they arc not in school.To those,
who say we are just a bunch of party
fiends, I probably passed you and
other non-greeks passed out on the
floors of the dorms on the way to
my room last year (generally Greeks
are more responsible too!) If you
can't beat us, join us. We are not
cliquish and will accept you for who
you are. We have different letters,
but the same purpose: Brotherhood
and Sisterhood.

Drivers are called athletes in
this auto racing extrava-

athletic as their spectators
These guys are athletes? The
racers are only called athletes
by the people who watch the
circular show.
Drive straight, turn left repeat 400
times and you have a NASCAR
race. I have never understood the
growing popularity with this so-
called sport. Drivers are called ath-
letes in this auto racing extrava-
ganza, yet most look about as ath-
letic as their spectators.
NASCAR fans have a devotion to a
specific make of car. Ford and
Chevy are the primary vehicles of
choice for racers and their loyal fans.
These people will argue which car
is better until they are blue in the
face and red in the neck. I guess
these stereotyped, beer guzzling,
country music lovin' fans cannot
read. If they could read the entire
argument could be settled after
reading the impartial
"Consumer'Reports.
Racin' fans will utter statements
that are derogatory to other car
manufacturers; i.e. FORD: found
on road dead. I have never seen
such diehard loyalty to a product.
When is the last time you heard this
phrase, "I don't like Michael Jor-
dan, because he wears Nike"?
Most other types of racing I view as
being actual sports. These other
follow-the-leader games will keep
on truckin' if the weather turns to
rain. Changing of tires is necessary
in order for better traction, but they
do continue the race. NASCAR is
treated like a small child. When the
rains come, they sit inside like litde
children waiting for a break in the
clouds.
The multi-colored cars that Dale,
Jeff, Bobby and the rest of the knot
hole gang drive give me headaches.
Imagine, if you will, the L.A Lak-
ers having every sponsor that some
of the players are spokesmen for on
their jerseys, Nike, Gatorade,
Spalding, Pepsi and Taco Bell. The
plethora of colors would be distract-
ing to the eye, much in the same
way many consider stock cars.
These guys are athletes? The races
are only called athletes by the
people who watch the circular show.
The spectators could call truckers
athletes based upon their criteria for
athleticism. They drive for a long
time, big deal I have made twelve
hour treks before and even filled up
my own gas tank.
Despise is too nice a word to de-
scribe how I feel about NASCAR

Summer finds us only publishing

can't review as many CDs as we

Wilco and Billy Bragg team up to
pay tribute to original punk
Woody Guthrie. When Guthrie
died, he left behind a lot of songs
that he had written lyrics for but
no music. Wilco and Bragg
provide the music, which
compliments Guthrie's words to
the T. The best songs include:
"Hesitating Beauty "She Came
Along to Me" and "Ingrid

Do you have a special outfit you wear for
buffet eatin'? You pull out the shirt with the
picture of a gal with a tanned shiny be-hind
that says, "NOTHING BUTT NAGS
HEAD and a pair of short so stained you
don't know what color they are anymore.
After all, you're gonna doing serious eating
and don't want to worry about slop staining
your church clothes.
Well, that outfit won't do at Ming
Dynasty. It's more civilized than your
average buffet atmosphere, and that's a
hell of an accomplishment since they're
within snortin' distance of the Piggly
Wiggly on 10th Street.
The inside of the restaurant is really
quite attractive ? in redneck
terminology that would be "it's done up
right good
It's buffet bar, however, could certainly
be improved. The biggest problem is the
small selection; it's particular weak in
comparison to other buffet bars in town.
The quality of the food in the buffet bar
is only slightly above average and many
items don't seem to be incredibly fresh.
They do have big and good egg rolls.
The price is on par with the Greenville
average: $4.99 (lunch) and $6.79 (dinner).
However, the more upscale atmosphere
should encourage you to put down the
bib and "act like you got some
upbringing" and order a single dish.

Careless students have but a few choices
when it comes to Chinese food, and
Szechuan Garden, located on Evans
Street, is a pretty gbodToption.
For $4.95 at lunch or $6.95 at dinner (not
including the student discount), you can
try the fried chicken wings, which rival
even the Colonel's for crispy brown

The first and most important thing to

and sugar water on the same food, do it.
If you don't, you're missing out on

Mongolian House specializes in
Mongolian barbecue. You go in, fill up a

and frozen meat, dump the sauce on, and
the chef cooks the whole mess for you on
top of this flat grill made to look like a
shield. It's the manliest restaurant in
town!
And it's quite good. If you like Chinese
food, there's no more unusual experience
in Greenville than Mongolian House. It's

is distinguishable as a southern
treat by its inclusion of vanilla

A discerning eye is useful when
the fish hook goes through Hizuru's

and doesn't let up.
Little of the violence here is
cathartic; nobody gets to feel better
for very long after pulping
somebody else's face. Though all
the pain may bring about some
kind of purification by the end, it's
difficult to say if anyone is really
better off because of it.
And that difficulty is ultimately
what makes Tokyo Fist more than
just violent pornography. At the
beginning of the story, Tsuda's life
is stifling. He's constantly tired and
seems to have contracted some
chronic illness. He's lost touch with
cruising the net for summer fare.
Don't bite off more than you can
chew; keep the recipes simple,
since you'll be dragging this food
around in a wicker basket (or
carrying it on pointy sticks) while
you search for a decent fireworks
display.
And beware of recipes
submitted by persons named
Blanche (i.e. Blanche Edwards'
raspberry salad.) They usually call
for a ring mold or something and
are altogether disgusting, since
they consist of things like Jell-O,
melted ice cream and nuts.
The most important thing to
keep in mind is a sense of
adventure. Try barbecuing for real.

Jordan Golf
Classic big success
New format gets
rave reviews
Patrick Giovinazzo
STAFF WRITER
Thousands of spectators had the
chance to meet their favorite
celebrities, including Michael
Jordan ? and they didn't even
have to leave Greenville to do it.
Jordan, along with
half of the other
celebrity golfers,
played a private round
at Greenville Country
Club on Saturday.
Plenty of fans still
turned out at Brook
Valley on Saturday,
though. They came to
watch Tim
Meadows, Stuart
Scott and Jim
Palmer among oth-
ers. It was no coin-
cidence that things
picked up at Brook Valley Sunday
? Jordan was playing there.
Nearly 10,000 people showed
up to view the Golf Classic on
Sunday. As the day went on, the
crowd grew larger and louder, but
few received autographs from the
event's namesake, as Jordan
declined most attempts from
those who desired his signature. ?
The tournament, in its four-
teenth year, ended up being the
most profitable ever. In it Emily
Faulkner, of Faulkner and
Associates Advertising, helped
organize the tournament. "I think
we about doubled what we did last
year and that was $200,000. So we
think it's over 400,000 dollars this
year said Emily Faulkner, of
Faulkner and Associates
Advertising, who helped organize
the event.
Al Wood,
who played in
the first
Celebrity Golf
Classic but
not again until
last weekend,
won the
celebrity skins
tournaments.
He and his
other four
amateur
teammates
shot a 121 on
Saturday and
a 123 on Sunday. Their 244 fin-
ished tops among all others. ESPN
analyst Lee Corso's group finished
second with a 245. The Jordan
team ended with a total of 261 and
17th place, making Jordan far from
the winner he was during the NBA
championships.
Fans are now left with a year

before they'll get another
opportunity to chase
down Jordan's autograph.
Yet, rhe future of the tour-
nament remains a little
unsure. Brook Valley
Country Club's contract
with the tournament is
done, but the organizers
are sure the event will
remain in Greenville. The
new format changes will
also be evaluated. This

York City, taverns and bars fill up
for the games, whether the patrons
are Italian, Irish, Dutch, Cuban or
of any other origin wanting to
watch their descendant nation, or
maybe the American team's match-
es. Withalmost every comer of the
world represented at this year's
World Cup, the fans who cannot
make the pilgrimage to France to
cheer for their team all find ways to
watch the globally-televised
fbmes.
To consider a much smaller mar-
ket than the aforementioned areas,
people here in Greenville are view-
ing the World Cup in various ways,
some with a practiced eye, others
learning the intricacies of the sport
as the tournament progresses. A
few are setting up shop at local
restaurants, taverns or bars, such as
Chicago Style Hot Dogs, La Vista
or Professor Q'Cools. That practice
became especially important dur-
ing the U.S. team's opening match
against the mighty German side.
For some unfathomable reason, the
local ABC affiliate decided not to
air the game, forcing potential
watchers to places equipped with
satellite dishes to see their national
team play. Other than that particu-
lar disaster, though, the games have
been easily accessible on ESPN,
ESPN2 and ABC.
Since the games are being held
in France, there is approximately a
six-hour difference, so the majority
of the matches are broadcast in the
late mornings and afternoons.
Because of the not-so-prime times,
most watch the games at home.
One such person is graduate stu-
dent Julian Martinez. A 23-year-old
of Spanish dcent, Martinez is not
new to watching the sport and has
followed the Cup closely.
"I usually watch the games at my
"Unless you see other countries
play, you don't see other styles;
you don't see the best players or
the best teams. The World Cup
lets you see the best of soccer
Julian Martinez
graduate siudem
apartment between classes said
Martinez. He is also quick to point
out the difference between watch-
ing the American Major League
Soccer (MLS) and college soccer to
watching international level soccer.
"Unless you sec other countries
play, you don't see other styles; you
don't see the best players or the best
teams. The World Cup lets you see
the best of soccer he explains.
A student with much less socce
exposure is rising senior Jim
Matheny. The Zebulon native has
also primarily viewed the games at
his apartment
"My roommate pretty much
has (the games) on constantly
Matheny said. "So, at first, we had
to watch them. I've gotten more
interested, however, as the whole
thing went on
Matheny is not a watcher of
MLS or any other soccer but finds
himself paying attention to the
World Cup.
"I don't know if it's a four year
thing or what he said. "But
watching the World Cup is like
watching the Olympics. I mean, I
don't watch figure skating usually,
but I do then. The soccer played
at the Cup is also at the highest
level, so it's a lot more attractive to
watch
Wherever they are watching the
games, many people around
Greenville are finding ways to fol-
low the tournament, despite the
awkward kick-off times. They will
have to get used to it, as the 2002
World Cup will take place in Japan
and South Korea, a 12-hour time dif-
ference to America.
Time for Thirsty
Thursdays
Professional baseball,
cheap beer in Kins ton
Travis Barkley
sports editor
As most ECU students know, there
is not a professional baseball team
locally. There is however, a team
just down the road in Kinston.
The Kinston Indians, or K-
Tribe as they are called, are the
Class A affiliate of the Cleveland
Indians.
For several years now, the
Indians have offered a popular pro-
motion known as "Thirsty
Thursdays
"It's one of our more popular
events said Dave Echols, assis-
tant general manager of the
Indians. "Thursdays and Saturdays
are our biggest nights
On Thursdays,
admission for stu-
dents is only $2.
Once inside, those
over the age of 21
can treat themselves
to draft beer for 75
cents.
Echols said since
the program began
in 1989, more stu-
dents come to the
games.
"I think we get a
lot of support from
ECU Echols said.
"Obviously with col-
lege students, there
is a lot of turnover,
but they know about
it
While the promo-
tion has been suc-
cessful, Echols said
the Indians are
always looking for
ways to make it bet-
ter.
"We are talking
about having the
(Mu.
Mike Corrado Band play on
Thursdays to get more of an ECU
presence and to liven up the
atmosphere Echols said.
One potential problem of
Thirsty Thursdays is trying to find
designated drivers. The Indians
are looking into ways of solving this
problem.
"We'd love to try to establish
some kind of shuttle service that
could pick up the students in
Greenville and bring them to and

Located on the East Carolina University Campus in Greenville, NC,
the East Carolina Summer Theatre is a Not-for-Profit Professional Theatre
featuring talents from all across the country.
Gibson
continued from page 6
tant at Murray State University,
where she handled recruiting and
scheduling and worked with the
post players. She began her coach-
ing career at the University of
Alabama at Birmingham, where
she was a restricted earnings assis-
tant coach with the Lady Blazers in
the 1993-1994 season. UAB went
undefeated in the Great Midwest
Conference that season and earned
its first-ever trip to the NCAAs
before finishing with a 23-6 record.
Gibson started playing basket-
ball at Wake Forest University and
played for two seasons before
transferring to the University of
North Carolina at Charlotte for her
final two years. She was named to
the Dean's List three times and the
Metro Conference Commissioner's
List for two years, and was also
entitled the outstanding graduat-
ing senior in communications her
final year at UNC-C.
"I am excited that Dee is in the
CAA and think having a coach of
her quality and caliber will only
improve the league said UNC
Wilmington men's Head Coach
Jerry Wainwright, who was an assis-
tant at Wake Forest when Gibson
was a player. "I think with her out-
going personality and people skills,
Dee is a perfect role model for a
student-athlete. I believe she will
have a tremendous impact on in-
state recruiting at ECU because of
her experience and the fact she is
genuinely excited to be coaching
in the state of North Carolina
With such achievements consid-
ered, the Lady Pirates and ECU
are looking for Gibson to do a lot
for the program this season and are
excited about her arrival.
Beth Jaynes, an upcoming
senior Lady Pirate said, "The team
seems to be excited and positive
about the change of coaches
Gibson was described by Jaynes
as one capable of tremendous per-
son-to-person relationships.
"She is more of a people's
coach said Jaynes.
Jaynes added that Gibson "is as
tough as Donovan, but not as strict
or formal
The team can expect to run a lot
this year and get a lot of basketball
in. Gibson really wants to beat her
old team, UNC Charlotte, this
family and feel that I am walking
into a great situation Gibson said.
"I think ECU is a gold mine wait-
ing to happen, as there are all kinds
of possibilities for its program.
Overall, this is an exciting opportu-
nity and I look forward to the chal-
lenge. I have always loved the state
of North Carolina ever since 1 was
a player here and have hoped one
day there would be an opportunity
to come back, so coming to ECU is
exactly what I have been looking
for
Gibson graduated from UNC-C
in 1993 with a bachelor's degree in
communications. She is currently a
member of the Women's
Basketball Coaches Association
and Black Coaches Association.
The search for a head coach was
a tortuous one for the Pirate, with
seven candidates other than
Gibson. Among the candidates
were: Rick Reeves, head coach at
Liberty; Joanne Boyle, assistant
coach at Duke; Ann Hancock,
assistant coach at UNC; Mike
Holloman, head coach at
Louisburg Junior College; Connie
Guinn, former head coach at Berry
College in Georgia; and Shawn
Campbell, an assistant at Virginia.

from the game Echols said.
Besides cheap beer, there are
plenty of other reasons to go to an
Indians game, Echols said.
"Every Saturday we either have
a giveaway or fireworks Echols
said. "Something is going on at the
park for every game
Going to an Indians game also
means seeing potential major
league players.
Current ones such as Albert
Belle, Charles Nagy, Jim Thome
and Manny Ramirez all played in
Kinston at one point or another.
Jaret Wright was pitching in the
World Series last year ? only a year
after pitching for the K-Tribe.
Not every Kinston player will
make it to the majors, but Thirsty
Thursdays provides a chance to see
professional baseball up close for a
low price.

refining some things, but nothing

No matter what the changes,
Greenville is expected to remain
the home of the event and hopeful-
