ment and conspiracy to embezzle funds

ed sentence along with special condi-
tions. He was

tion chooses, the
amount of restitu-

Former Medical Foundation presi-

Adams had confidential knowledge of
the Medical Foundation's upcoming
land acquisition plans. He hired
Fleming and the two worked together
to set up several dummy companies.
According to Mike Ball, attorney for
the Medical Foundation, the first trans-
action was conducted under the name
of GRK Associates, Inc. GRK sold a
piece of land to the Medical
Foundation and made a profit of
$450,000. A second, under the name

STAFF WRITER
Dr. Louis Warren, an elementary and middle
grades education professor, has been awarded
the first Max Ray Joyner award for Faculty
Service through Continuing Education for his
work in teaching adult, off-campus students in
Craven County.
"He is one of the most student-oriented, car-
ing faculty members on campus said Dr.
Marilyn Shear, dean of the School of Education.
Warren began his work with off-campus stu-
dents in 1995 when the Division of Continuing
Education developed a new program to offer
classes in Craven and Carteret counties. The
program was designed to
help students who could
not commute to the ECU
campus complete their
undergraduate degree
courses by taking classes
in Havelock and
Morehead City. Warren
describes the program as a
way of "reaching out" for
the students. Many of the
students have full time
jobs and families, so they
are very appreciative to
have a teacher come to
them.
"He is genuinely inter-
ested in the students in
and out of class said
senior Amanda Gamer,
student and advisee of Dr. Warren.
Warren refers to the off-campus students as
"ideal students" and said that they work hard

Parking and Traffic Services
reported that the parking lot at the
corner of Fifth and Harding Street
has seen less students and staff
and more visitors since the time on
the parking meters was shortened.
The maximum time for the
parking meters in the Fifth and
Harding lot was shortened from
two hours to one on September 21.
The lot was originally intended to
be used by visitors and students
who had to make brief visits to the
campus. However, Parking and
Traffic Services found that stu-
dents and staff were using the lot
to park their cars during classes.
"It's helped the turnover in that

Greenville and ECU police officers
will keep an eye out for unlicensed
ECU merchandise outside of
Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium while
ECU battles Alabama-Birmingham
this Saturday.
"People try to sell unlicensed t-
shirts and hats out of their trucks or
vans in the parking lots and outly-
ing areas ECU Police Chief
Teresa Crocker said.
The sale of unlicensed merchan-
dise is a felony according to a North
Carolina law that was enacted in
1995 against counterfeiting mer-
chandise.
"The North Carolina law about
counterfeiting is one of the tough-
est in the country and is used as a
model by other states assistant
athletics director Lee Workman
said.
According to Tom Younce, assis-
tant director of the ECU Police
Department, the sale of unlicensed
merchandise up to $3,000 in retail
value is a Class 2 misdemeanor
which means a maximum fine of
$1,000 and 60 days in prison. If the
retail value is from $3,001 to
$10,000, the charge becomes a
Class I felony that has a maximum
of 10 years in prison. From $10,001
and up it is classified a Class H
felony that carries 20 years in
prison.
The sale of counterfeit merchan-
dise is also a violation of the Anti
Counterfeit Consumer Protection
Act. This is a federal offense that
carries a maximum 20 year sen-
tence.
No one has been arrested at
ECU for counterfeiting merchan-
dise since the state law was enacted
in 1995. The few people who were
cited had under $3,000 worth of
merchandise so were only charged
with misdemeanors.
The sale of unlicensed merchan-
dise directly hurts ECU in two
ways, according to Lee Workman.

ECU at midpoint of
three phase plan
A m v Sheridan
staff WRITER
ECU is halfway through the second
phase of the Master Plan, which
was first developed in July 1992.
The intent of the master plan is
to guide and facilitate the growth
and development of the university
through approximately the next ten
years. In 1992, ECU was given a $5
million bond from the UNC-sys-
tems General Assembly to assist
with the costs of campus renova-
tions. Since the Master Plan was
implemented, it has provided the
university with a well-defined set of
guidelines for future campus devel-
opment.
The four major goals contained
in the Master Plan are to create a
distinguished campus environment,
provide for the functional needs of
all campus users, establish and
maintain an ongoing planning
process, and strengthen relation-
ships with the city of Greenville.
The first stage of development,
which was allotted a five-year peri-
od for construction, included the
building of the Student Recreation
Center, the renovation of the
Joyner Library, and the building of
Todd Dining Hall. The first stage
of development was completed
before the five year deadline,
paving the way for the early begin-
ning of the second phase.
"The most impressive thing is
when you go through the Master
Plan and see how much has been
accomplished in such a short time
said Richard Brown, vice chancellor
for Administration and Finance.
The second phase of develop-
ment includes designing the
Student Health building, expand-
ing Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium, and
making notable improvements on
one of the science and technology

'There was an anonymous call
in December of 1995 to the State
Auditor's hotline Ball said.
"Adams was suspected of double
billing reimbursments for travel
expenses
The investigation led to closer
scrutiny by auditors for the state
and ECU that uncovered the land
transactions.
Adams accepted a plea bargain
for his charges in July and was
given a seven year suspended sen-
tence. Adams was also ordered to
serve a five month jail sentence
and pay restitution to the Medical
Foundation in the amount of
$197,000.
"The sentence was the state's
recommendation in light that he
cooperated and was willing to tes-
tify against Adams Murphy said.
"Adams has already made a

Adams is expected to complete
the restitution payments he was
ordered to make.
The Medical Foundation has a

"The early completion of the

The final phase of the ECU
Master Plan has already started to

university is beginning its
attempts to find a company that
specializes in campus planning, so
the third and final phase of the
Master Plan can be drawn out and
accomplished. Meetings will be
held in December to decide the
parameters of the third phase.
The university is still waiting
for a new $200,000 budget from
the General Assembly of the UNC

It's that time of year again.
On the horizon you can hear the booming of marching bands and the rumbling of parades.
Hordes of alumni are zeroing in on Greenville, armed with fistfuls of memories. It can mean
only one thing.
Homecoming is here, and it brings with it many opportunities for students to have fun and
learn more about the school. A lot of time and effort has gone into ensuring that the events
come off smoothly. This year also marked the first time that the voting for the Homecoming
Court was done online, showing just one way ECU remembers the past while keeping an eye
on the future.
This is one of the few times when ECU is lucky enough to have so many alumni coming
back. Even those who graduated just a few years ago will marvel at the many changes to
campus since their college years. While they are here, take a few moments to talk to some of
them and learn a little bit about what life at ECU used to be like.
Once you're through with that, check out a few of the events around campus to celebrate
this week. Even if you missed the events during the first half of Homecoming week, there are
still plenty more things to do. Coming up is a pep rally, a parade, the crowning of King and
Queen, and, of course, the Homecoming football game.
There will be plenty of entertainment for everyone to enjoy at the Piratefest pep rally. The
Marching Pirates, Pure Gold dance team, and the gospel choir are among many others
scheduled to perform. Anyone who goes there should be able to find a little something to
enjoy.
Hopefully, ECU students don't need any encouragement to go to this game. The tradition
of the Homecoming game is as much a part of the South as grits and sweltering heat. The
Pirates have an outstanding winning record of Homecoming games that will, with a little luck,
continue with a victory at Saturday's game against the University of Alabama-Birmingham.

Computer requirement necessary
know a lot of people don't
like computers. Just think
how hard it was for my 50-
year-old mom, to learn how
to use a computer. When she
went to college, it was
considered high tech to have a
solar calculator!
To all those of you that run away
from modern technology as if it
were laced with Anthrax, a new day
of educational endeavor is upon us.
Many colleges nationwide are
requiring all incoming freshmen
and students to purchase a
computer. Western Carolina and
Virginia Tech are just two southern
colleges who have made this leap.
And since ECU is probably trying
to move up on the list of the most
wired (or weird) college campuses
nationwide, I believe that it is
imminent in the next two years
that we are going to do the same.
I support this requirement. If
you are supposed to be smart
enough to study at a university, you
should be proficient at using a
computer. I was happy to buy my
computer last year, instead of
having to go to the Aycock
computer lab where my computer
would crash on an hourly basis. I
also liked playing around on it. I
had a Budweiser screen saver that
had the frogs on it, but I had to take
it off because I kept on getting
awakened at 3 a.m. by those frogs
goingBudWeiseEr.
I know a lot of people don't like
computers. Just think how hard it
was for my 50-year-old mom, to
learn how to use a computer. When
she went to college, it was
considered high tech to have a solar
calculator! Let's face it, in any
college major you are going to have
to present your work in a
professional manner, a feat easily
accomplished by a computer. Even
your old buddies from high school
who went to the nearest podunk
community college have had to use
computers for their classes, even if
they have their associate degrees in
TVyVCR repair or gun repair.
I support everyone being on the
internet. I have met people on the
net that I didn't even know I was
related to. I met a guy named
Helmet Kleinschmit that turned
out to be my great uncle. He lives
in Berlin, Germany, not a part of
the United States, even though
someone at a party tried to
convince me that it is. I can also
find information on time travel
theory, investing, and obscure
historical figures that professors
assign reports on. Basically, with so
much information at my finger tips,
why would I need to walk through
the annoying sonic tragedy and go
to Joyner Library where books
are obsolete before they even hit
the shelves?
Got something to say? Need somewhere to say it?

ECU deserves equal funding
Why should ECU not receive
the same funding as other
schools? How are we suppose
to raise the bar while
maximizing present potential
if we have to compete with
schools that not only possess a
better reputation, but are also
are more attractive because
of their relatively larger
cashflow.
ECU's Board of Trustees has
admitted that because of ECU's
"academic reputation we do not
receive as much state funding as
other universities such as UNC-
CH and other Triangle schools.
Students in the Eastern part of the
state have, on the average, lower
SAT scores which predicts a lower
academic ability and potential at
college.
While the correlation between
lower SAT scores, student
performance, and lower university
funding may be coherent at first, it
is actually quite ludicrous! Why
should ECU not receive the same
funding as other schools? How are
we suppose to raise the bar while
maximizing present potential if we
have to compete with schools that
not only possess a better
reputation, but are also are more
attractive because of their
relatively larger cash flow. Yes,
excellence should be rewarded and
recognized, but state schools are
state schools. There should not be
a large disparage of the monetary
allocation among state schools.
Whatever inequity that exists
should be based on the population
of the universities. Since ECU is
one of the largest universities in
the state, the funding should be
very comparable to NCSU, UNC-
CH and ASU.
The aforementioned points are
derived from the theory that ECU,
when compared to other
universities may not measure up,
but this really isn't the case. Our
schools of medicine, nursing, and
art (just to name a few) are among
the top in the state�and nation.
ECU's average student GPA is
rising a tenth of a point ever year.
While that may not sound
remarkably outstanding, it is
definitely a feat despite the
mysterious rise's cause. What
ECU lacks is a bold and prominent
public relations approach. We have
the academic "goods" but we just
don't sell them very effectively.
ECU students and parents pay
taxes just like any other
university's students and parents.
Likewise, we deserve the same
funding as other schools. Our
legislators need to recognize our j.
university's accomplishments and
merits and in return allocate money
to us accordingly, even if they do "
not feel that ail schools are worthy
of equal tax dollars. We do not J
need to concede to be treated I
unfairly in this matter. An intense
push for more recognition will ,�
improve the quality of future
applicants and thus, the education
students receive. This will result '�
in benefits for our faculty, staff, and i
of course, students.

Vagrants need to get off their bums
Call them what you will.
Bums, hoboes, wastes of life.
It's all the same really, and
the bottom line is that they
have enough initiative to come
up to absolutely anyone and
ask for money. But they don't
have enough initiative to
clean themselves up and go fill
out a job application.
Opinion Time! This week's
column is about downtown, and
the crazies that inhabit it.
I don't know about you, but I
get hassled every time I go
downtown to visit the CD store or
to get some of those 20 cent wings
(excuse me25" cent wings.
What a sorry thing to do!)
Picture this. You're walking
along, minding your own beeswax,
and all of a sudden you start to hear
footsteps following the same step
pattern as yours. You glance
behind you, only to meet eye to
eye with a withered old man with a
doe-eyed look on his face. You can
guess what he's going to say to you,
but before you get to show him the
white lining of your pockets, his
toothless mouth opens to speak.
Out of his mouth comes a smell
that is normally associated with
paper mills and sewage treatment
plants, and a sentence.
His voice sounds like Bob
Dylan gargling hot asphalt. You
say something to the point of
"excuse me?" He repeats himself,
only this time louder. He says
"Hey man, do you have any
change you could lend me?" On
that note, isn't it funny how they
sometimes use the word "lend?"
Like they �re go'ing to remember
you on the street or take down
your mailing address to pay you
back for the 12 cents you so
humbly gave them.
Call them what you will. Bums,
hoboes, wastes of life. It's all the
same really, and the bottom line is
that they hav& enough initiative to
come up to absolutely anyone and
ask for money. But they don't have
enough initiative to clean
themselves up and go fill out a job
application. I think that as long as
they have enough self-confidence
to approach these people, they
should be hired as pollsters for the
next election. Then you'd hear'
something like, "Excuse me sir or'
madam, how would you rate
Mayor Jenkins' performance this
term? That good, huh? Okay,
wellhow about a couple bucks for
the effort?"
Don't think I am cold hearted.
I have given them money on
various occasions, never really
giving a thought to how they are
probably going to spend it. The
way I see it, if you want to do
something to help them, you
should just run into Cubbies and
get a hot dog and give it to them.
That way at least you know where
the money is going.
It's inevitable that there are
always going to be people that
would rather beg for money than
earn it. It is up to us as a
community to help these people
pick themselves off the ground
and make them valued members
of society. Until we do, we might
as well learn to live with the fact
that we are going to be approached
by these people that our parents
warned us about.

At tyneti�wf��nei�Iswr�yqgi8 ago,
amphitheaters were the center of culti
imd remained so for many hundreds
years. And amphitheaters, just like the
Olympic games, are.one of the many tra-
ditions derived from the ancient world
that still survives today. Though the use
of the amphitheater in our modern world
has declined.
For many years amphitheaters were
attended by. the ancient Greeks and
Romans as a moans of entertainment and
social interaction. This ancient tradition,
though many modem amphitheaters can
be found'across the world, has made a
drastic decline, including here at ECl '�
Between the narrow passage oi
Clement and Fletcher halls, an amphithe-
ater can be found sheltered by a row of tall
bushes. The site which has remained at
ECU for a number of decades, though
beautiful to look at has rarely been used
for performances or activities and we are
now nearing a time when this amphithe-
ater too will decline, just as ancient
amphitheaters, when the construction for
the new west campus dining hall begins
The amphitheater, hidden behind a row of bushes between Clement and Fletcher Halls, has not been used for a formal production in nearly three decades.

and the amphitheater is removed.
Here at ECU, neither the music nor
the theater departments have taken the
opportunity to the utilize the amphithe-
ater here on campus, mainly claiming that
the area was too small for a production.
"We used it for rehearsals a few times
when the mall was booked said Carol
Pendcrgrass, Drama Professor. "It was
too small for anything else
The cultural center considered using
the amphitheater, but, "It never panned
out, probably because of the weather
That last known performance that took
place at the campus theater dates back to
the 1970's when a band named The
Association brought their show to ECU,
and played their hit song, Windy.
The role of the amphitheater and out-
side productions has taken such a drastic
fall that here on campus many faculty
members can not even recall when the
amphitheater was built, or why.
Stuard Aronson, a retired professor that
was with the university from 1971 until
1991, used the amphitheater for auditions
for his play, "Black Beard: Knight of the
Black Flag
"In my thirty years, the theater depart-
ment used it for nothing but auditions
though students sunned themselves there
during the summer Aronson said.
Amphitheaters have a long history
both in American and in ancient Greece
and Rome. They originated in Greece
to honor Dionysus and needed an area
that provided superb acoustics so that the
chorus, which was a part of a theater
production, could be heard in the audi-
ence. Therefore, sections of a hill would
be cut into semi-circular shape to provide
the needed effect. Seats were added and
the grade of the hill provided excellent
viewing. From these religious beginn-
ings sprang the wealth of tragedies
and comedies.
In Greece the works of many writers
such as Euripides, Sophocles and
Aristophanes could be viewed. Audiences
often times spending as many as ten hours
a day watching five or more performances.
Eater in Rome amphitheaters were
built by Pompey, Nero and many others
in various locations such as Nimes,
Verona, and Aosta.
These amphitheaters were elliptical in
shape with tiered rows of seats.
At one time amphitheaters held a pur-
pose. In the Roman Empire, the
Amphitheatrum was used for plays, fights,
public speeches, etc. Because of the large
cost of many of these events, many
amphitheaters in the Roman empire were
built near or attached to military bases and
used for parades, weapons training and
tactical training.
For many here at ECU the amphithe-
ater is a resting place on the way back
from downtown or a place to do home-

Ten students involved with
leadership development at ECU
took a recent trip to New York to
attend workshops and ropes
training courses in leadership.
The ten students traveled to
State University of New York

"They set up a 'ropes' course for

how to bring what they had learned

How many times a week do you
think the average ECU student
consumes alcohol? Why do you
think they drink? How do you think
ECU drinking habits compare to
other campuses? These questions
and more were asked during the
Spring 1997 CORE Institute
Alcohol and Other Drug Survey,
and the results may surprise you.
Out of the 1200 students who
were given the survey, over fifty
percent responded. They answered
questions ranging from personal
alcohol use, drug use and their
opinions of alcohol use on campus.
"This survey is very important
said Donna Walsh, director of the
Office Of Student Health
Promotion and Wcll-Being.
"Alcohol use is a problem and this
information needs to get out to
the students
The survey results showed that
95 of ECU students abstain from
drinking from Sunday through
Wednesday. Another H47t reported
drinking once a week or less. When
asked whether they had been
involved in binge-drinking (drink-
ing five or more drinks in one
sitting), 34 of students replied
they had "in the last two weeks

Tobacco, drugs rank below alcohol
Smokers 5 times more
likely to use drug
Erin Alderman
staff writer
While alcohol is the leading drug
used on college campuses, that
does not mean that tobacco and
marijuana are left in the dust.
According to a survey conducted
in 1997 alcohol use ranked first
place followed by tobacco and mar-
ijuana use.
61 of the students reported
trying tobacco at least once. 24 of
the
students
in the survey
said that they had
used tobacco at least three times in
the last week.
69 of students reported that
they hadn't used Marijuana in the
last year and only 5 had used the
drug three times in the last week.
But, marijuana still ranks third
place as the most popular drug
on campus.
Tobacco which contains the
addictive substance nicotine has
many negative effects on the
bodv. Nicotine has been linked to
coronary heart disease and may
increase the risk of death due to a
heart attack by 2 to 4 times.
Nicotine has also been proven to
cause emphysema, lung cancer and
chronic bronchitis.
Marijuana, the third most popular
drug on campus, is the most
frequently used illicit drug in the
I S.
Many times alcohol and marijuana
and tobacco are used together. One
out of every four young adults had
an alcoholic drink at the same time.

Young people are also five times
more likely to use pot if they are
cigarette smokers. Marijuana users
between the ages of 18 and 25 are
one and a half times more likely to
be male. 74 of marijuana users are
more likely to try cocaine.
Marijuana may have many
effects on the user by impairing
short term memory, concentration,
judgment and fine motor skills.
Memory loss may continue even
three to six months after marijuana
use is discontinued. Some studies
have even shown that the use of
marijuana during pregnancy can
lead to birth defects.

For those of you who don not
know me, which is pretty much
everyone, my name is Blake
Norman. I have a major in phi-
losophy and hope to attend law
school after graduating from
ECU. A few semesters ago I
heard Dr. Linda McGowan
speaking to a group about inter-
national exchanges. I decided
that having "study abroad" on
my law school applications
would be quite helpful in deter-
mining my future success, so I
decided to go for it. So here I am
now a year later in England.
I just came into Leicester (pro-
nounced Leh-ster) two days ago.
The first thing I noticed about
England was immediately step-
ping off my plane it's cold.
Mind you 48 degree weather
isn't really bad, but I was wear-
ing short sleeves. After taxiing
my ggagc around Gatwick
Airport, which is huge, I caught a
coach to Leicester.
While sitting on the coach, I saw
much of the countryside. The
scenery was incredible�there
were large rolling hills that seemed
to extend into the distance forever.
There were countless farms and
pastures filled with sheep. As I
looked at the farms, I saw huge
manors which seemed out of place
in the middle of nowhere. I also
saw old broken down dwellings
that one would hope no one would
live in, but sadly that would be
mistaken.
In the cars that passed by I saw
families, couples, truck drivers�
real people�people that we forget
about living in the U.S. We dismiss
the English as being prudish, fair
skinned people who have bad
teeth. By sticking this and similar
stereotypes on another nation, we
dismiss the possibility of individu-
ality and we forget that each per-
son is real, with individual

everyone else was frequently using
drugs few, if any, actually reported
doing so.
The survey found that while
74 of the students thought their
peers drank 3 times a week only
17 reported doing so.
Walsh also said that according to
the survey 95 of ECU students
don't drink Sunday through
Thursday and of the students who
do, 25 drink on Thursdays and
75 drink only on the weekends.
Walsh also said that 18,000 stu-
dents can't fit downtown, so many
students are doing something else
and finding other ways to have fun.
Many students may not realize
the seriousness of the conse-
quences that can occur when a stu-
dent is caught with drugs or under
the influence . Not only are you
subject to state laws but may vary
well face punishment at the school
as well.
The disciplinary actions that are
taken by the school vary from
offense to offense. ECU's policy on
substance abuse says that, "for a
first-time offense involving the ille-
gal possession of any controlled
substance, such as Rohypnol, barbi-
turates or marijuana, the minimum
penalty shall be probation for a peri-
od to be determined on a case-by-
case basis The student must also
participate in a drug education and
counseling program, consent to reg-
ular drug testing and do community
service.
A second offense can lead
to expulsion.
Disciplinary action for the illegal
use or possession of alcohol vary
with the degree of infraction
and the circumstances involved.
Penalties may include, a warning,
probation, fine, community
service or the involvement in
an alcohol education andor coun-
seling program.
To spread awareness the
Department of Health Promotion
and Well Being will sponsor
Alcohol Awareness Week the last
week of October. One event
planned for Monday through
Thursday will be a "wall" in front of
the Wright Place.
Walsh encourages students to
stop by and write on a "brick" and
share how alcohol has affected their
lives or just stop by and read how
others have been affected.
Walsh also recommends that for
further information on drugs and
their effects you can pick up more
information available in pamphlets
around campus in the Joyner
Library, Health Center, General
Classroom Building or in
Mendenhall.

realize this the world becomes

My most startling discovery on the
coach trip was from neighbor who
was reading a copy of The Daily
Mirror. As I looked over his shoul-
der, I even saw seven, no I'm not
exaggerating, full pages devoted to
Bill Clinton's antics, which they
call "zippergate I was astonished
to see this much focus on an
American president in a British
paper.
The owner of the hotel I stayed in
knew all about the scandal in intri-
cate detail. This worried me for
two reasons. First, by the looks of
it, the world has picked up on the
president and is denouncing him
as a sexpot who can't be trusted. Is
this how we want the world to
view the U.S.? Second, British cit-
izens are more informed in US pol-
itics than American citizens, even
without a
scandal. If
you don't
agree, how
much do

Scottish separatist movement?

Rule 4.
Set The Rules.
Kids need to know exactly what the rules are. The
rules have to be clear, consistent, reasonable. And
enforced. Every kid will try to find out exactly
how far he or she can go. And drugs are no place
for trial and error. To learn more about what kind
of rules to set and how to enforce them, call for a

The statistics alone may not
seem like much, but when com-
pared to national standards, a clear-
er picture of ECU's drinking habits
comes into focus.
Comparing the on-campus
results to those of 45,632 other col-
lege students who completed a
similar survey between 1992 and
1994, ECU actually falls below the
national average.
"There are a lot of misconcep-
tions about ECU Walsh said.
"This survey helps show the reali-
ties of alcohol use on-campus
ECU and national averages are
the same when it comes to yearly
alcohol use. The results were also
similar about students who had
consumed alcohol on six or fewer
occasions during the last year. The
national numbers, which come
from the second Harvard School
College Student Alcohol Survey,
show some startling tendencies.
The number of students binge-
drinking is increasing, currendy it
stands at 38. The Harvard study
also showed a twenty two percent
increase in the number of students
who said they were drunk three or
more times in the previous month.
In addition there was also a thir-
ty three percent increase in the stu-
dents who say they drink with the
specific purpose of getting drunk.
In 1993, about 39 of students said
they drank to get drunk, and last
year that number jumped to 52.
ECU students gave many rea-
sons for why they drink. The top
reason given to drink was "to
enhance social activity Other rea-
sons, in declining order, include
"to have more fun "to break the
ice and "to get drunk Private
parties and restaurantsbars were
the most frequently cited places of
consumption.
The CORE Survey listed sever-
al "key findings" that attempted to
summarize their findings. ECU
students' drinking behavior is sim-
ilar to students nationwide.
Also, binge drinking is a prob-
lem for some students. The survey
further stated that alcohol contin-
ues to be the drug of choice here at
ECU. But in the end, it is shown
from the survey that drinking does
not play a significant role in most
student's lives.

ECU hopes for tenth straight homecoming win
Pirates to hostAUB
this Saturday
Travis Barki.ky
SENIOR WRITER
ECU will attempt to run its win-
ning streak to fout games on
Saturday when the Pitates host the
University of Alabama-
Birmingham.
A win against the Blazets would
be ECU's tenth sttaight
Homecoming win, dating back to a
1988 loss to West Vitginia, 30-10.
UAB (2-2) has proven to be danger-
ous in Homecoming games, post-
ing a 7-0-1 record in the program's
brief, eight-year history. The
Blazers are 3-0-1 as the visitors in
those games.
Saturday's game will become an
annual event when the Blazer foot-
ball team joins Conference USA
next season. UAB is already a
member of C-USA in all other
sports.
Even though UAB has been a
Division 1-A program for three
years, ECU head coach Steve
Logan says his team can't afford to
overlook the Blazers.
"They are light years
ahead of where you would
think someone could be
Logan said. "I told our
football team very point-
edly, if we fail to execute
in any form or fashion, if
we fail to improve that we
will get beat and get beat
fast
UAB's two losses have
come at Nebraska 38-7
and against Kansas 39-37
in four overtimes. The
Blazers have home victo-
ries against Tennessee
Tech 38-6 and SW
Louisiana 24-13. Just like
ECU's last two opponents;
Ohio and Army, UAB is a
ttiple option team. Logan
compared its offensive
scheme to that of Army's.
"It looks just like Army
except they're much more
sophisticated in the pass-
ing game Logan said.
ECU attempted to
recruit current Blazet quar-
terback Lee Jolly. Last
week Jolly was 11 of 21 for
yards and two touchdowns, I le
added 94 yards on the ground.

is the last wishbone team ECU will
have to face.

Volleyball team falls short in
three games to Wilmington
Loss drops team to 2-2
conference record
Travis Barki.ky
s i:ior WRITER
The ECU volleyball team had its
two match conference winning
streak snapped Tuesday night as
the Pirates fell to UNC-
Wilmington in three straight
games.
The loss dropped the Pirates to
2-2 in the CAA, 7-10 ovetall.
UNCW improved to 6-12 overall,
Z-l in the conference. The match
was extremely close for the first
two games with UNCW winning
the first game 17-15. With the score
tied at 14 in the second game, a
controversial line call in front of the
Pirate bench went against ECU,
taking away a scoring opportunity.
The Pitates just couldn't get on
track and lost the game 16-14. After
the second game it was all
Seahawks as they completed the
sweep 15-6.
Head coach Kim Walker
declined t- comment about the
controversial call, one of several
close calls that went against the
Pirates. Walker said the difference
in the match came down to attack-
ing.
"They attacked the ball better
than we did Walker said. "I
haven't even see the stats but I'm
sure they out hit us. We blocked
about the same � we dug about
the same amount of balls. We've
got to find a way to terminate the
ball, and we just didn't terminate
the ball today
Sophomore outside hitter Liz
I lall said that there are no easy
games in the CAA.
"Everybody is pretty evenly
matched Hall said. "We played
hard but our hitting wasn't where it
needed to be
Sophomore Cinta Cla.ro led the
team with 14 kills, followed by-
Shannon Kaess with seven and
LuCinda Mason with six. Kaess is
the only uppcrclassman on a very
young and talented Pirate team.
Walker said with such a young
team, the play so far has been
inconsistent, but the focus is on
improving.
"We were hitting a little higher
at the beginning of the season
than we are now Walker said.
"We're getting better every day.
We're better than we were at the
beginning of the year
While the crowds at this year's
home games have grown, there is
still room for improvement.
Walker encourages fans to come
out and support the team.
"Its an exciting game Walker
said. "We're building a good team
here. Obviously we'te very young
but we're building a team that's
exciting to watch
ECU's next game will be on
the road against High Point on
October 10.

With new faces and a new modi-

The men's team lost four
seniors and three coaches from last

Tony Parham is finishing up his
degree at ECU, Dink Peters is
playing with the Harlem

Club sports program offers
leadership opportunites
250 students active in

Todd Tallmadge
staff writer
Have you ever thought you could
lead a team to a championship? Do
you feel you could play for a college
sports team? Have you always
wanted to play against college level
competition? If you think you have
what it takes, club sports is calling
your name.
The club sports program is a
way for students to fine-tune their
organizational and leadership skills
along with expanding that compet-
itiveness in us all. The students get
the opportunity to plan their own
practice times, how the practices
are run, and prepare themselves for
the competition.

sports for recreational services, sug-
gests that being part of the program

the pass a little more this week
ECU's offense may have suf-
fered a slight setback during last
week's game when quarterback
Bobby Weaver sprained his ankle.
"Bobby's ankle is real sore
Logan said. "He's just staying
down in the training room when
he's not in class. They're treating
him 100 miles per hour, we'll just
see how it goes day by day
Weaver and the rest of the
Pirate offense will be facing a
Blazer defense that Logan says
reminds him of ECU.
"This football team is built just
like us Logan said. "They're
lean, they're fast, they run well
and they've got some exceptional
players on defense
dents to be involved.
"These programs give
the students a way of over-
seeing their own team
Hodges said. "The leaders
of each sport come up with a
constitution for how the
team will be run. The team
then plans the practices,
which are usually three to
five times a week
Practices are held at the Student
Recreation Center or at the new
Blount Fields.
"We currently have over 400
students involved in both the fall
and spring semesters, with over 250
students participating this fall. The
club sports are open to all student,
faculty, and staff that are currently
enrolled or employed Hodges
said. "We feel that this will give
these students a chance at leader-
ship that they will need in the com-
munity
The clubs do most of the fund-
raising to support the teams, but
Recreational Services helps with
the equipment, transportation, and
finding locations for games.
One of those players is nose
guard Curtis Jeter. Jeter is tied for
the team lead in sacks with three
and leads the team with six tackles
for losses.
"They've got a nose guard on
defense that took the center from
Nebraska and beat him to death
for 60 minutes Logan said. "The
kid from Nebraska never blocked
him, ever. It's going to be a severe
test for Danny Moore
Moore says he welcomes the
challenge of facing Jeter.
"The guy is a real short, stocky
guy (5'11 290), real quick with a
bunch of moves Moore said.
"I'm going to have to really work
hard this week in practice to pre-
pare myself mentally and physical-
ly
Moore suffered a slight hand
injury against Army but says it
shouldn't hinder his performance
this week.
"It's just a little sprain, nothing
that won't be cured by Saturday
"We help get the teams started
and then leave it up to the leaders
to handle anything that comes up
Hodges said.
The men's lacrosse team has a
match this Friday against N.C.
State at 7 p.m. Another big date on
the club sports calendar is the
weekend of Nov. 6-8 for an all day
lacrosse tournament. On
December 5-6 the ultimate frisbce
tournament will be held.

ular club or to find out more about

Moore said.
Both Logan and the players
encourage the fans to pack the
stands for Saturday's game.
"I would like to extend a real
challenge to our fans to show up
this Saturday too Logan said.
"It doesn't matter who we're play-
ing, they need to come watch us
play. If we can get 40,000 last
week, we can get 41,000 this week.
Our players deserve that. We've
got a good football team to watch
Moore says a loud fan base does
make a difference.
"It's a great feeling to run
underneath those goal posts when
you have 40,000 people out there
cheering for you Moore said. "It
gives us twice as much energy,
twice as much adrenaline and
makes us play better
Kickoff is set for 3:30 p.m.
Euro 2000 qualifying match
put off for security reasons
NYON, Switzerland (AP) The
European Championships qualify-
ing encounter between Yugoslavia
and the Republic of Ireland this
weekend will be postponed for
security reasons, European soccer's
governing body UEFA announced
Monday.
The match, due to be played
Saturday in the Yugoslav capital
Belgrade, has been put off "in
view of the political situation in
Yugoslavia and the subsequent
effects at international level a
press release said. A UEFA
spokeswoman didn't give any fur-
ther details.
A new date and possible change
of venue will be set by the Euro
2000 organizing committee in con-
sultation with the Irish and
Yugoslav national soccer associa-
tions, UEFA said.
The corresponding under-21
match between the two countries
has been postponed for the same
reasons, the release said.
Last week, England called off
an exhibition next month at
Wembley stadium against
Yugoslavia because of the conflict
in Kosovo and the possibility of
military intervention.
NBA cancels preseason games
NEW YORK (AP) The NBA
canceled the final 90 pre-season
games Monday because of stalled
labor negotiations with the players
union.
"At this point, our teams cannot
possibly be ready to play any
games before November deputy
commissioner Russ Granik said in
a statement. "It's sad that we have
been unable to have any meaning-
ful negotiations
The next collective bargaining
session is set for Oct. 8. The league
said decisions concerning possible
cancellation of regular-season
games would be made next week.
The league earlier had canceled
24 games.
Union officials had no immedi-
ate response to the decision.
When they finally meet again,
the sides will have only a few days
to strike a deal that would preserve
the 82-game regular season sched-
ule which starts Nov. 3.
Once a new agreement is
reached, it will take at least three
weeks to sign players, make trades
and hold abbreviated training
camps.
But a quick settlement seems
extremely unlikely with the parties
so far apart on the main economic
issue.
The owners made their latest
proposal 10 days ago, still calling
for a system with an absolute ceil-
ing on salaries or a "hard" salary
cap. The union said the owners
I
included 16 pages of new demands
that hadn't been discussed in any
previous meetings.
"Our proposals would result in
an average player salary of more
than3.1 million and a minimum
salary for 10-ycar veterans of $
750,000 Granik said.
"Unfortunately, the union leader-
ship has been unwilling to give any
serious consideration to what we
have offered
Both sides await a ruling from
arbitrator John Feerick on the
union's grievance over whether
players with guaranteed contracts
should be paid during the lockout
Feerick's decision could come at
any time before Oct. 19.
Students show strong
response to new sports fields
Opportunites expand
for intramurals
Casev Rlshton
staff writer
The recently-opened William Gray
and Barbara Keck Recreational
Sports Complex is the newest
addition to ECU's commitment to
health and fitness.
The complex cost the university
approximately $1.6 million and has
been in the works since March
1995.
"It's been several years now
said David Gaskins, intramural
director for Recreational Services.
"We had hoped that they (the
fields) would be ready last fall ini-
tially, but with normal construction
delays, it was not completely fin-
ished until this vear
The necessity to build this field
came about with the expansion of
Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium. The ath-
letic department decided to
change the former intramural fields
adjacent to the stadium into a park-
ing lot.
"We knew we were going to
lose the old fields with the stadium
expansion and we had to explore
alternate field options.
Cooperation with athletics allowed
us to keep using the old fields until
we were able to play on the new
ones Gaskins said. "The transi-
tion worked out perfectly
Students agree that the transi-
tion has gone smoothly as well, and
are pleased with the new facilities
that are now offered. Intramural
athletes in particular have reflected
very positive attitudes about the
new facility.
"It is a great thing. It's a lot of
fun playing on these new fields
said Dan Cheney, an intramural
flag football player.
Cheney's opinion is similar to
most recreational athletes who
find this new 12-acre complex a
vast improvement from the old
fields.
"This new complex is very nice
for the students. We now have the
opportunity to host extramural
tournaments, like the rugby tour-
nament that was held out there a
couple of weeks ago said Patrick
Daniel, a Recreational Services and
intramurals assistant and athlete.
Along with these positive
remarks, however, some students
have had questions about the new
guidelines for the facility.
"It's great, but it kind of sucks
that you can't bring your dogs out
anymore intramural athelete
Ryan Sullivan said.
As an employee of recreational
services, Whitney Farmer has
heard questions and concerns
about the fact that no one is
allowed to smoke on these new
fields. "Students say they don't
like the fact that they can't smoke,
but they understand why they
can't and they appreciate the new
fields Farmer said.
The Blount Complex includes
10 flag football fields, 6 soccer
fields, or 5 Softball fields. The
fields are used for intramurals and
club sports activities. Any universi-
ty group can reserve the use of the
fields by obtaining and returning a
request form to the main office of
the Student Recreation Center at
least two weeks in advance.
"Last year, 78 percent of full
time students participated in recre-
ational services. These are remark-

What does everyone think
about the new fields?
"It is a very nice facility. Everything is very clean and I can
understand why they made rules to keep it this nice
Megan Cuthrie
"I have enjoyed watching flag football on these new fields. It
feels more like an official sport with the new facility and the
nice lights
Sarah McConntU
"They are much nicer than the old ones. It makes Intramural
athletes feel more important
Jamie Demchak
"I've heard nothing but good things about it. I think the stu-
dents, including myself, are really excited about it
� Josh Simmons
"It proves that the school is not all about varsity sports and
that has made a lot of student athletes happy. Some
Intramural athletes are just as serious as scholarship athletes are
Greg (reason
able numbers and we hope to see
an increase with the addition of the
new complex Daniel said.
Flag football is the only sport
being played on the new fields cur-
rently. Soccer will be played on the
fields later in the semester and a
Punt, Pass and Kick competition
will be held next Wednesday, Sept.
30 at 8 p.m.
The complex is located behind
the Allied Health Building and
houses a central building with
water fountains, bathrooms, first
aid and storage space. The land,
which was donated by the Blount
family, is surrounded by a natural
buffer of trees and is well lit for
players' safety.
A ropes course is located in the
woods next to the fields and is also
available for use through recre-
ational services. Parking around
the complex is for university regis-
tered vehicles only. Those without
a university sticker can park in the
gravel lot across Charles Boulevard
next to Harrington Field.

Punt, Pass and Kick competition,
