DeMarco files
petition of review
Testimony in benefit
hearing concludes
Steve L o s e y
NEWS EDITOR
After two unsuccessful appeals to
the Board of Trustees (BOT) and
the Board of Governors .
(BOG), former professor
Sal DeMarco has filed a
Petition of Review with
the Wake County Superior
Court accusing Chancellor
Richard Eakin of violating
due process rights guaran-
teed by the North Carolina
and U.S. Constitutions.
Testimony also concluded
Tuesday in an
Employment Securities
Commission hearing to
decide whether DeMarco should
receive unemployment benefits.
In the Oct. 9 petition, Alan
McSurely, attorney for DeMarco,
called Eakin's April decision to
overrule a due process committee's
unanimous decision not to termi-
nate DeMarco's employment
"arbitrary and capricious The
petition also alleges that Dr.
Michael Rastetter, chair of the
Communications Sciences and
Disorders department, intimidated
witnesses that testified for the due
process committee.
"I never intimidated a witness
at all Rastetter said. "I don't
know where DeMarco gets this
information
DeMarco allegedly
used profanities dur-
ing meetings,
ridiculed colleagues,
arranged appoint-
ments after he was
ordered not to, and
intimidated those
around him.
An impartial due
process committee,
made up of tenured
professors, ruled that
DeMarco's actions were "unfortu-
nate" but did not warrant firing.
"A bed-rock element of Due
Process is an impartial decision-

John Edwards unveiled his public
education platform at a town hall
meeting with ECU students and
faculty Thursday at Wright Plaza.
"Public schools are the most

Edwards said.
Edwards called for a reduction
in class size. He said that it i$ a
poor learning environment to have
children sitting on top of each
other with very little individual
attention from teachers.
Edwards also said that schools
need to have more computers and

Extra punishment for hate
ECU adds sanctions to

news editor
After the death of gay University of Wyoming stu-
dent Matthew Shcpard, some have worried that
such an incident could happenat ECU.
"This very well could have been one of us B-
(JI ,AD adviser Jeff Gersh said.
If a student at ECU committed a hate crime,
the student would face additional penalties other
than those handed down by the courts.
"We would make the sanction appropriate to
what happened said Mary Lou Antieau, associ-
ate dean of students. "First, we would determine
if there was a violation of the Code of Conduct. If
there was a violation, we would then decide on the
sanction
The Code of Conduct forbids harassing, abus-
ing, threatening, endangering, injuring or threat-
ening to injure another person or their.
Dean of Students Ronald Speier said that there
have been many instances of harassment motivat-
ed by bias at ECU.
"We have instructed the honor board to take
motivation into consideration Speier said.
"We've been doing that for the past 10 years
Though North Carolina's laws against hate
crimes do not mention gays and lesbians, ECU
includes homosexuality as a possible motive for a
hate crime.
"ECU takes this very seriously, and as such,
we do more than other schools Speir said.

Shepard, Gersh criticized the way North Carolina defines hate
crimes.
"North Carolina does have laws against hate crime, but it
does not protect gay and lesbian people Gersh said.
ECU's Police Department has been voluntarily participat-
ing with the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation
(SBI) since late 1995.
"North Carolina's way ahead of most states in the country
said Tom lounce, assistant director of the ECUPD. "They
voluntarily instituted hate crime reporting six years ago
The ECUPD sifts through reports, looking for any that fit
the requirements of a hate crime. If one is found, it is reported
to the Division of Crime Information at the SBI, which then
passes it on to the FBI.
There have been only three incidents reported to the
ECUPD since the program began. In February 19, racially
inflammatory notes were left on a bulletin board in a residence
hall. In October 1996 and November 1997, harassing phone
calls were made to gay individuals.
No criminal charges were made in any of those incidents.
North Carolina has two statutes in place that address hate
crimes. Statute 14-3, Committing a Misdemeanor Because of
Prejudice, relates to the punishment of misdemeanors com-

Student Health Center to
add extra rooms
Space to cut waiting
room crowds
Jason Ziebart
staff writer
The Student Health Center
is beginning renovations and
additions to a building that will
cut crowding and create a more
professional environment.
Carol Himes, facilities
architect for facilities planning,
design and construction, said
that the renovations are an
upgrade of the current services
and facilities.
"The renovation will be in
two phases Himes said.
First, there will be an addi-
tion to the old building which
will wrap around to the back of
the building, adding more
treatment rooms to the Health
Center. The extra rooms will
allow more space for patients
to wait for the doctor. This will
also help cut down on a crowd-
ed waiting room.
'The big thing is the extra
treatment rooms. They allow
more privacy for the students
said Kay Wilkerson, director of
Student Health Services.
The renovation will also
provide more storage space,
allowing more medicines; to
be on hand. There will also
be more efficient space for
the staff.
"We want it to be more of
a professional environment
Wilkerson said.
The renovation will not
affect the services offered by
the Health Center.
"The existing building
will be fully operational dur-
ing renovations Himes
said.
The East Group was cho-
sen by a committee to help
with the renovations of the

Renovations for Jarvis Residence
Hall are scheduled to begin in 45
days, now that the asbestos is
completely removed, and should
be opened by January of 2000.
Jarvis was chosen for renova-
tion because it was "in the worst
shape" of all the halls, Housing
Director Manny Amaro said.
The roof will be replaced with
red tile similar to the original style,
and the front porch will be left as
it is.
"The whole Fifth Street front
will keep the traditional look
said Carol Hines, project manager
and facilities architect.
Most of the original features of
the hall will be left intact.
"We are keeping the vaulted
ceilings and using lighting to
reflect the traditional lighting of
the building Amaro said.
Jarvis will feature microfridges,
state-of-the-art bathrooms and
utilities and new features such as
centralized air conditioners that
are controlled by the resident.

Journalist and acclaimed novelist
G.D. Gearino will speak on his
writing experiences tonight at the
annual Friends of Joyner Library
banquet The evening will begin
with a reception at the home of
Chancellor Eakin at 6:15 p.m.
Following the reception will be
the annual banquet beginning at
7:30 p.m in the Great Room of
Mendenhall Student Center.
Gearino's work includes
What the Deaf-Mule Heard, Counting
Coup and the soon to be published
A Place Called-Blue Hole. What the
Deaf-Mute Heard was filmed as a
Hallmark Hall of Fame production
for CBS and became the most
widely viewed movie in Hallmark's
history in November 1997. The
production also
achieved the
highest rating
for a TV-movie
since the early
1990's. The
19 novel
received the Sir
Walter Raleigh
Award for
Fiction.
"People are
often interested
in hearing what
happens to a
writer as he watches his book turn
into a movie Gearino said.
Gearino has written a popular
features column in the Raleigh News
& Observer since 1993 and has been

writing fiction novels for six years.
"Being a local writer, Gearino
has readings from work all around
the triangle area Gail Munde,
associate director of Joyner Library,
said.
Before coming to North
Carolina, Gearino worked as a
reporter, editor and columnist at
newspapers in Florida, Michigan,
Colorado, Wyoming, Montana and
Alberta, Canada. He is a native of
Georgia and graduate of the
University of Georgia.
The Friends of Joyner Library is
an organization composed of com-
munity members that include a
variety of people from the
Greenville area. Retired ECU fac-
ulty, alumni, business executives
and many others are all a part of the
organization. The purpose of the
group is to benefit the library in any
way possible.
"We believe that the library is
the heart of the community said
Fred Ragan, a board member of
Friends of Joyner Library.
The organization is currently
forming a group specifically aimed
at students who are genuinely
interested in working to benefit the
library, called Student Friends of
Joyner Library. The program is
still in planning but should be open
to students by November.
The banquet is open to anyone
who is interested in improving the
library.
"By having this banquet we
hope to inspire people to join the
Friends of Joyner Library Linda
Coward, temporary lesion to
Friends of Joyner Library said.
"We expect it to be an evening
of good friends, good food, and a
wonderful speaker said Munde.

Students who live on West campus
will soon have a closer and better
equipped dining facility in their
own backyard.
Plans for the $7.4 million, two-
story dining hall have already
begun.The 3,300 square-foot hall
will be able to hold a capacity of
600 people, 230 more than
Mendenhall. Along with its size,
ECU hopes to develop a more
comfortable atmosphere for stu-
dents.
Frank Salamon, director of din-
ing services, and Bruce Flyc, direc-
tor of facilities construction, were
among members of a committee
which flew across the country in
order to gain ideas for the dining
hall's setting. Yale, Boston College
and UNLV were among some of
the colleges viewed with hopes to
develop better ways for ECU to
improve the restaurants attitude
and setting.

members are charged in discharge
proceedings and the manner in
which the charge is reviewed are
specified in the University code

The petition requests that the
Superior Court overturn Eakin's
decision and restore DeMarco to
his former position with full back
pay and benefits. It also asks for
reasonable attorney's fees to be
paid to DeMarco.
DeMarco also claims that ECU
discriminated against him because
of his disability.
"They're getting me on the
conduct DeMarco said. "Non-
disabled faculty admit getting
angry and using loud voices. These
people arc allowed to use loud
voices and derogatory remarks, but
I'm held to a different standard
Irons declined to comment on
DeMarco's claims of discrimina-
tion.
DeMarco has been denied
unemployment benefits because
termination due to misconduct
does not qualify one for benefits.
Testimony concluded Tuesday
with DeMarco, Dr. Richard Shine,
the professor who was allegedly
shoved in a December 19 meet-
ing by DeMarco, and Dr. Ralph
Scott, the chair of the due process
committee. DeMarco said the rul-
ing should come within three
weeks.
DeMarco claims that his behav-
ior was not unreasonable and that
many faculty members cursed dur-
ing meetings.
"I only used the F-word twice
in the last 15 years DeMarco said.
Shine has testified that
DeMarco's behavior was well
beyond simple cursing.

country of origin If the motive
behind a misdemeanor is preju-
dice, the penalty will be increased.
Someone who would normally
receive a maximum sentence of 60
days in jail and a $1,000 fine would
receive as much as 120 days in jail
and a fine to be set by the judge.
A criminal who would normally

Statute 14-3 does not make any

"The penalty will only be

ney Blair Carr said.
The prosecution must prove a
crime was racially motivated to
enhance the penalty. They could
show direct evidence, such as wit-
nesses that saw the defendant
shouting racial epithets during the
crime.
Circumstantial evidence could
also prove a crime was motivated
by prejudice. For example, hate
propaganda found in the defen-

the case of a black victim. Carr said
that the penalties for hate crimes

Dining Hall
continued from page 2
throughout the country Flye
t' said.
Other aspects looked at were
ways to better serve the customers
of the dining hall. "ECU wants to
give its customers more of a restau-
rant feel when coming into the
dining hall as opposed to the usual
feelings of a cafeteria Flye said.
Salamon hopes to feature more
demonstrational cooking.
"Food will be prepared fresh,
giving more of a marketplace set-
ting, with food prepared to cus-
tomers specifactions in order to
give more appeal to the atmos-
phere of the restaurant" Salamon
said.
Salamon said that funding for
the creation of the hew dining hall
comes completely from profits of
current ECU restaurants and din-
ing halls.
"We arc a self-supported auxil-
iary with 100 percent of the the
funding coming from profits from
food sales Salamon said. "If a stu-
dent does not purchase food from
the dining halls, they are not pay-
ing for the creation of the dining
hall
Restaurants along Fifth Street
have shown little concern about
the dining hall taking business
away.
Flye believes that downtown
restaurants are not worried about
competition because the only peo-
ple who will know about the hall
will be students and faculty.
"Since we do very little advertis-
ing for dining halls, and the build-
ing's layout will blend into the
campus, most people from the
downtown area will not recognize
West End Dining Hall as a restau-
rant Flye said.
The Flanagan Sylvan
Amphitheater between Clement
and Fletcher will have to be torn
down to make way for the new
facility.
"The location was chosen due
to the number of dorms in the
area Flye said. "This is why this
dining hall will be in such a prime
location
After completion of the new
cafeteria, plans will then be made
to close down the Mendenhall din-
ing area. The cafeteria will then be
expanded to be used by The Spot.

tion by the end of 1999 and possi-

new building will be built where
the courtyard is and will be the
community space of Jarvis. To
keep the traditional look, two fire-
places will be installed in the
study areas.
The layout of the rooms will
remain basically the same, except
closet space will be replaced with
built-in wall units of drawers and
racks. The rooms and bathrooms
will have a modern face, but the
halls and exterior will keep their
historical appearance.
"I think the project is great
Amaro said. "We made the deci-
sion three years ago and the cost is
affordable for us to do it"
The hall was closed down last
year and has undergone the
process of asbestos removal. State
law mandates that the area must
be completely contained during
the asbestos removal, so a fence
was put up around Jarvis. Some
utility work has already been
done, but Housing Services is still
in the process of choosing a con-
tractor.
The cost of the renovations to
Jarvis will be $5,095,000, which is
under the national average for a
similar renovation project. The
cost averages between $31,000
and $32,000 per resident. The
national average for renovations to
dorms is $35,000 per resident
The cost of renovation will be
covered by students' rent. The
Housing Service is an auxiliary
enterprise, independendy funded
by students who pay to live on
campus and use campus facilities.
"I think the renovations are
wonderful Hines said. "The
building will be safer and more
comfortable but will still keep the
flavor of the campus
Construction began on Jarvis in
1907, and it is the oldest building
on campus.
"Jarvis opened its doors in
1909 Amaro said. "The academ-
ic building had not been finished
yet so they held the first day of

to give these kids at risk a place to
go"
Edwards wants an effort to
make school buildings more ade-
quate. He said that there is not
enough space for students in the
schools and that some schools have
to use trailers to accommodate the
students.
"Funding for these projects
could come from pay cuts in the
bureaucracy in Washington in the
Department of Education
Edwards said.
Edwards also discussed the
need to focus on funding Pell
Grants, reducing loan fees and con-
tinuing scholarships so that all
students have the chance to go
to college.
"I think funding grants and
scholarships is a big issue because
it can help students who might
otherwise not go to college because
they can't afford it" said Lynn
Mitchell, a graduate student in the
Political Science Department
Edwards is opposed to private
school vouchers because he says it
takes money away from public
schooling.
"We desperately need every
dollar in public schools to pay for
more teachers and adequate class-
rooms Edwards said.

Rape is one of the most heinous crimes imaginable. Over the past few years, there
have been several rapes on campus which have all generated news, fear and public uproar.
In these cases, there have been suspects, convictions, and cases where the rapist got away
in the end.
In some cases, the victims never come to terms with the nightmare they have
undergone. In others, the victim may be too terrified to speak up and let the authorities
know that she has been raped so that action can be taken.
We at TEC want to remind victims that help is not far away. If you are raped, there
are ways to make certain the rapist is caught and put in prison, or better yet, the ground.
In a world of false accusations, a rape kit will prove the crime s existence. These
can be administered to the victim at Pitt County Hospital. The rape kit takes semen, hair
and skin samples that can be matched to the rapist. We strongly urge the victim not to
wait. It is wise not to shower or cleanse your body because it may contain the evidence
jhat will lead to the apprehension of the rapist.
It is also extremely important to report the crime to the police. Report to the ECU
Campus Police as well as the Greenville Police Department. This will launch an
investigation which will also lead to an apprehension.
If it happens that you are raped, let someone know about so that the proper
measures can be taken that will lead to another criminal in his place - behind bars. It is
understandable that this is a difficult event to cope with, but repression only gives the
papist more time to find another victim and strike again. Had his last victim spoken up, it
fray never have happened to you.
There are also ways to avoid a possible rape situation. Never walk anywhere on
dampus at night by yourself. Go places in groups - large groups. Take advantage of the
emergency phones with the blue lights. This allows you to safely be escorted by a campus
policeman to your destination. If you are not close to an emergency phone, call a friend or
the police to escort you from wherever you are. That is what friends and the police are for -
protection.
Rape happens, and unfortunately it happens on our happy little ECU campus.
Protect yourself and take necessary precautions in order to prevent such a horrible thing
from happening to you.

Cynicism poisons society
Most recently, a study just
released by the Pew Research
Center for People and the
Press showed that only about
one-third of Americans trust
the federal government.
If you don't know who Bell is,
count yourself lucky. Bell hosted
the fourth most popular talk show
in the country. It is estimated that
he had anywhere from 6.5 to 15
million regular listeners. And just
what were all these people listing
to? Paranoid rantings about UFOs
and secret government projects.
The fact that so many people
were willing to believe this kind of
lunacy points out an even larger
problem. Our culture is awash in
cynicism. The evidence is
overwhelming.
A poll taken in 1994 showed
that the majority of Americans
believed that politicians care more
about special interests than
ordinary people, more about
keeping office than the best
interests of the county, and that
campaign promises are made with
no intention of their being kept.
A 19 study showed that only
one-third of workers thought that
management was "trustworthy
and even-handed
Most recently, a study just
released by the Pew Research
Center for People and the Press
showed that only about one-third
of Americans trust the federal
government.
This cynicism is eating away at
the foundation of our democracy.
Because so many people believe
the worst about our leaders, they
don't bother paying attention to
campaigns. Because politicians are
expected to lie and break their
promises, we don't hold them
accountable when they do. And
every time that this happens, it
merely reinforces the already
existing cynicism.
Most importantly, this climate
discourages honest people from
participating. Why would any
decent individual subject him or
herself to the pain and frustration
of trying to run for office when
doing so will only make a large
percentage of the population
doubt his or her motivation? And
so cynicism becomes a self-
fulfilling prophecy,
Cynicism has an undeniable
appeal. Cynics can believe that
everyone is motivated by
selfishness, while they are
virtuous. They can also believe
that everyone else is foolish for
buying into all the lies. For that
matter, why even bother trying to
stay informed if nothing anyone
says is believable?
All of this is not to say that
everything that public officials say
should be accepted at face value.
But the proper attitude to take is
one of healthy skepticism, not
cynicism. It is fine to question the
arguments made on behalf of a
policy; the arguer's motivation is
irrelevant the truth of the
proposition.
Think of skepticism and
cynicism as acid. A small amount
used carefully will clean a valuable
item. A large amount will destroy
it. As we prepare to vote in the
next few weeks, try to remember
the difference.

Mandatory minimun no good
These are laws that say that
for certain offenses, a
mandatory minimum of time
must be served in jail without
parole. This sounds good in
theory. But the people who get
locked away are non-violent
first time offenders.
Do you ever feel that the law
makers aren't listening to your
concerns? Well I do. Have you
ever noticed that some of the
things that you like to do are
illegal? Well, I figure that the laws
of this nation aren't adequately
reflecting the will of the people.
I lerc arc some examples of laws
that the public at large doesn't
support.
Marijuana. I would say that a
very large proportion of our
population would support the
legalization of marijuana. I don't
smoke it, but I can find nothing
wrong with it. Heck, alcohol is
legal, and it kills thousands and
destroys the lives and marriages of
thousands more. I find nothing
wrong with a drug that makes
people want to eat junk food and
go to sleep. The only reason it was
outlawed in the first place is
because the cotton barons of the
1930s influenced congress to
outlaw hemp because it posed a
threat to the profits of the cotton
industry.
Mandatory minimum laws.
These are laws that say that for
certain offenses, a mandatory
minimum of time must be served
in jail without parole. This sounds
good in theory. But the people
who get locked away are non-
violent first time offenders. True
story. A mother of three gives a
friend a ride to work and the guy
accidentally drops his stash of
LSD in her car. The mother drives
home and is stopped for speeding.
The cop searches the car and finds
the LSD. Mom gets stuck with
rapists and murderers for a period
of no less than 15 years without
parole. Even judges denounce
these ridiculous laws, which they
claim are as reasonable as sending
a jaywalker to the electric chair.
The drinking age. I could buy
tobacco, serve in the military, be
charged as an adult, pay taxes and
vote as an 18-year-old. But I can't
go out and pick up a six pack of
Miller Lite. What is wrong here? I
guess my country thinks that I am
a man since I have enough
responsibility to endure incredible
agony and hardship to fight for my
country, but in the same respect, I
am just a child when it comes to
buying a beer. Sort of hypocritical,
isn't it?
I feel that our lawmakers as a
whole are pushing their own
agendas, and are turning a blind
eye to their constituents. They are
too worried about getting re-
elected by the old retirees who
actually vote. This is where we
come in. Young people as a whole
don't vote because they feel like
they are too busy or too cool, or
some other lame excuse. But if we
all would actually vote, we would
have nothing to complain about.
There are a lot more of us than
them, so why do we let them tell
us what to do? It was the work of
forward-looking progressives like
our parents who finally ended
segregation by uniting together for
a common cause. If they didn't
stand up to the old school
lawmakers, we could still have
segregation today.
LETTER
to the Editor
Southern bashing uncalled for
Mr. Kleinschmit,
I am sorry to inform you but you
crossed the line in your remarks
about Southerners in the Oct. 13th
edition of The East Carolinian.
Southern people are not the
stereotype you described in your
opinion column. I believe you were
confused with "poor white trash"
who live all over the country,
including the North.
Sure I'm a good ole Southern
boy who was born and raised in
Southern Wake County who drives
a four-wheel drive Chevy truck,
listens to Country music, and loves
to hunt and fish. But, my friend,
this does not make me a middle
school dropout with no teeth who
beats his wife. A true Southern
gentleman treats ALL women with
respect and has more manners than
any negative-thinking, know-it-all
Yankee does. You also mentioned
that the only difference between
"us and them" was that
Southerners cuss too much, whicli
is also a miss-led stereotype. You
forgot to mention the real
differencessuch as liberal political
beliefs, large noses that you talk
through, and an attitude that
believes nothing is good enough
and nothing can please you. By the
way, over one-third of the races on
the NASCAR circuit are in the
North, just thought I would clear
that up while it was on my mind.
I cannot believe you had to say
something about the Civil War! I
happen to have five Confederate
flags hanging in my room along
with one on my permanent North
Carolina license plate because I am
a proud member of The Sons of
Confederate Veterans This is all
heritage to our ancestry and
background, no hatred involved.
Personally I have never crossed the
Mason-Dixon Line and don't
intend to because it must be pretty
bad since you say all Yankees want
to move down here. If this is so,
then why must you bash Southern
culture and its people?
Finally, the real difference
between us is that Northerners
don't have the guts to address these
issues face to face; they just hide
behind the black and white print. If
you want to talk bad about
Southerners, give me a call some
time. I'm in the book.

;exciting time for ECU students,
ibut for alumni as well. Many past
graduates returned to Greenville

alumni were bestowed with the
Outstanding Alumni Award.
On Friday, October 9, the morn-

alumni watched the Homecoming
Parade. Afterwards, they made
their way to Dowdy-Ficklen
Stadium for a tailgating party.
At the homecoming game, the
Outstanding Alumni winners were
again recognized on the football
field before the kickoff. Here
Chancellor Eakin presented the
recipients with their plaques.

Many students have to work to stay
in school. Some work only a few
hours a week at jobs ranging from
data processing to baby-sitting.
Other students have to keep full-
time jobs while attending classes, or
fhey wouldn't be able to afford to
go to school. Then there are those
people who do something outside
pf the norm and employ themselves
by starting their own businesses.
Thaedeus Jenkins and
lohamed Hussein are two of those
ivho went outside of the "norm"
find started their own businesses.
Hussein, a junior at ECU, runs
pn internet auction with the help of
& few others. Ohano Entertainment
s owned and operated by
Thaedeus and his partner. The
Chano Entertainment company
Works with music. They set up
shows and concerts, DJ, and do
label promotion in the local area.
. Jenkins says that this isn't for
everyone. He not only has his own
business, but is also a staff writer for
Expressions and the rap director for
jjVZMB, the on-campus radio sta-
tion.

Thaedeus Jenkins has
had to make many sacri-
fices to keep his busi-
ness up and running.
"Money and time
Jenkins said. "There's
not enough time in a day. You keep
rushing here or there, and there's
never enough money
"Last summer, I was in summer
school and had the opportunity to
go to Canada on an expense-paid
tour, but I made the right choice
and stayed in school and let my
partner go instead Jenkins said.
Money is an important factor in
starting a business and in the begin-
ning it may take a little of your per-
sonal account.
"Right now, it's just starting
off Hussein said. "I used my own
personal money. Right now we're

Jenkins is a junior here at ECU
and is majoring in communications
journalism. Jenkins started doing
karaoke as a kid with his friends,
but it wasn't until he met a comedi-
an named Talent, who came here
to school, that he started getting
together a business.
"Talent was a comedian and did
bookings Jenkins said. "I le got
me going and showed me how to
get my ideas together
As for the future, Jenkins and
Hussein have their own plans,
including expanding on the busi-
nesses that they have already start-
ed.
"In five years, I want mv busi-
ness to be competing with larger
internet auctions Hussein said.
"I would like to start my own
label and get a studio Jenkins
said.
Thaedeus Jenkins also has some
ideas about starting his own paper
that would cover both North and
South Carolina.
"Mainly we'll focus on enter-
tainment, but also cover high school
and college sports Jenkins said.
Jenkins does not have anything
solid yet on this, but it is an idea. So
next time that you are reading
Fxprcssions or listening to rap on
WZMB, remember Thaedeus
Jenkins and the others, like
Mohamed Hussein, who run their
own businesses and be happy that
you don't have their schedule.

Interested in getting paid or acade-
mic credit for work in a field you're
interested in entering? Then co-op
education may be your answer.
Dr. Mary Cauley, director of
Cooperative Education, said that
co-op allows the student to, "apply
skills they learned in the class-
room
Cooperative Education, for
which a student is normally paid
while still enrolled at ECU, has
three different programs a student
can be involved in.
The alternating plan lets a stu-
dent alternate semesters between
work and school. The parallel plan
allows a full time student to work
part time after classes. The last co-
op program available is a summer
plan. With the summer plan a stu-
dent can work full or part time dur-
ing the summer.
The Cooperative Education
Department can also help a student
find an internship. An internship is
normally for class credit and most
do not offer a salary. Students
involved in work study can also
look into co-op to help them find a
job.
Sounds great , so
what now?
Cauley says the first
step in getting involved
is to attend a 45 -
minute to a hour ses-
sion on Mondays and
Thursdays at 1 or 4 pm
in the General
Classroom Building.
In this seminar you
will receive a packet of
information that will let
you know what to
expect and some forms
to fill out. From there
Cauley said that you can look up
the major in which you are interest-
ed and the area in which you want
to work via the internet at
www.ecu.educoophome.htm.
Under each major offered at
ECU is a listing of internships and
co-op opportunities available in the
state you chose. From there you
can copy down the job numbers
and bring them into your coordina-
tor.
When meeting with a coordina-
tor you can discuss what the
requirements for the position are,
and if you are still interested the
next step is building your resume.
A coordinator will work with you to
develop your first resume, if you
don't already have one. Then your
finished resume will be sent to the
employers you are interested in and
interview appointments with any
interested employers will be set up.
"Currently Cauley said, "there
are about 3,000 students involved
in the program. At any time one-
third of that are working
Cauley recommends that your
junior year is the best time to gain
your work experience since you
have some knowledge of the field
you have chosen. But if you are
interested in working earlier
Cauley said that the summer of
your freshman year would be the
earliest. '
Co-op works a semester ahead
however so anyone interested in
working in the summer should get
involved now since many compa-
nies have any early deadline.
Cauley believes that the co-op
program is one way to test your
employment decision.
"It's like test driving a car
Cauley said.
According to Cauley, after being
in a co-op or internship many stuj
dents know whether they really !

Avoid speeding
tickets via internet
Sites developed to
search for lawyers
Erin Alderman-
staff WRITER
Ever gotten a speeding ticket in a
town you never hope to see again?
While receiving a speeding ticket is
never fun, finding a lawyer to rep-
resent you in court in another coun-
ty can make the experience that
much worse.
To help aid in the search for a
lawyer and lessen the hassle, two
North Carolina-based law firms
have recently taken to the internet.
Traffic Law Network at
www.trafficlawnetwork.com is
operated by Bachman & Swanson,
a firm in Durham. The network,
which has been running for almost
six months, helps you find a traffic
law attorney in the county where
you received a citation. The site
asks that you fill out a simple ques-
tionnaire including what happened,
when and how. Then the service
will put you in contact with an !
attorney in the appropriate jurisdic-j
tion.
David Swanson, a partner in the .
firm, says he got the idea through a
traffic law center.
According to Swanson there
were a lot of people who received
tickets out of state, so he developed !
the sight to provide his clients with !
better service.
The site also includes informa-1
tion on speed traps throughout the j
United States and allows you to add
ones you know of as well. This fea-
ture is great for those of you who
plan to travel and want to avoid I
popular ticket areas.
Swanson hopes to make the site'
more comprehensive in the future. I
According to Swanson his firm is I
involved in many more aspects of ?
the law and he hopes to add these;
services to the site.
Speedingticket.net at
www.speedingticket.net is another
service available via the internet.
The service, which launched on
labor day weekend, is operated out

After the winning game, a final
ceremony was held for the alumni
at the Ramada Inn Hotel. A social
and dance was held here where a
band called "Rissc" performed.

As a result of the many activi-

their lives.
Studies have shown that stu-
dents involved in the program not
only have a higher GPA (a 3.0 com-
pared to a 2.8), but also find jobs
after graduation several months
sooner than their peers (2.7 months
compared to 6.4 months).
Another benefit Cauley points
out is that a lot of times a company
a student has worked with through
co-op will offer a student a full time
position after graduation.
Reccntly.Cauley said she spoke
with IBM and they said that they
had hired 20 students because they
had co-oped with the company.
Donna Worthey, a student
involved in the co-op program for
her second year, said that co-op was

According to White, he got the

He took his friend's idea and
then developed it into spced-
ingticket.net. The service includes
her the knowledge she needs for
future careers and helped with her
office skills.
Stephanie Lassiter, now a tech-
nical writer with Ericsson Inc is a
former co-op student.

White says is a lot like AAA, offers
an array of great services for a very
reasonable price.
According to White you can
look forward to many new develop-
ments on the site in the coming
future.
White also intends to support
MADD (Mothers Against Drunk
Driving) and SADD (Students
Against Drunk Driving) by offer-
ing them free advertising on the
site. White says that while the main
purpose of the site was to help
motorists find an attorney he also
hoped to bring about an awareness
of speeding.

ECU visits Eagles for
C-USA showdown

SENIOR WRITER
ECU will look to bounce back
from a tough, one-point loss
against Alabama when the Pirates
take on the University of Southern
Mississippi this Saturday in
Hattiesburg.
After last Saturdays nail-biter
against Alabama with the Pirates
missing one extra point and having
another try blocked and returned
for two-points, ECU will make
some changes in its kicking game.
ECU prepares to avenge two straight defeats against Southern Mississippi.

The ECU Men's cross country

Greenville. The Pirates finished
first out of ten teams, all from
North Carolina. The victory
marked the highest-ever finish
for the host team at the meet
and is the Pirates' third victory
of the season.

Junior Justin England fin-

England was sophomore Stuart

24:29. Both Will and England
ran times among the five fastest

Women's B-Ball
has new look
Coaching staff among
many changes
Todd Tallmadce
sports writer
The ECU women's basketball
team opened its new season this
week with a completely new
coaching staff and new opportuni-
ties.
During fall break the Lady
Pirates started their twice-a-day
practices. The team looks to
bounce back from last seasons' dis-
appointments by having individual
workouts with a focus on condition-
ing since the beginning of the fall
semester.
The team will have four new
coaches to guide the team, lead by
head coach Dee Gibson. Gibson
came to ECU after being an
assistant coach at the
University of Nebraska.
The other new coach is
Todd Buchanan, who
coached at the University of
Montevallo, a Division II school.
Jennifer Mitchell, who was an
assistant at Virginia
Commonwealth University last
year, and Randy Rueth, who was a
coach at Middleton High School in
Wisconsin, are also assisting Gibson
this season.
"The city of Greenville has
been real receptive to the new
staff Gibson said. "We know that
the city wants a good women's bas-
ketball team. We are hoping to
bring the winning attitude back to
ECU
The women's team only has one
returning senior, Beth Jaynes. The
coaches will look to juniors Misty
Home and Danielle Mclvin to help
Jaynes carry the team.
This summer the nation was awed by the blasts
St. Louis Cardinals' Mark McGwire sent out of
America's ballparks. Almost as well document-
ed as his home runs was his use of legal over-
the-counter performance enhancing drugs.
Like McGwire, every college athlete strives to
improve his or her performance. However,
when hard work and dedication are no longer
enough, some turn to medications.
In the United States, there are a variety of
legal performance enhancers on the market,
many of which are banned by the NCAA. The
NCAA only endorses the use of one such drug,
Creatine.
Creatine occurs natural-
ly in the liver through the
synthesis of amino acids.
Creatine can also be
obtained through a diet
high in meat and fish,
though it may be lost dur-
ing cooking. This forces
many athletes to get
Creatine in their bodies
through supplementation.
Creatine enhances a
muscle's ability to do work.
It also adds volume to muscle cells by increasing
their water content. It is especially useful in
sports that contain intermittent bouts of high
intense activity. These qualities have made it a
part of ECU's training program.
"The reason we use Creatine is because num-
ber one, it works and number two, it hasn't been
banned ECU strength and conditioning coach
Jeff Connors said.
ECU athletes have the option to take
Creatine. If they choose to, they can look for-
ward to two stages of Creatine use. The loading
phase is a period of five days where the athlete
takes a daily dose of .45 grams per kilogram of
body weight. After the loading phase is complete
the athlete enters the second and final phase, the
maintenance phase. In this phase the athlete
takes half of the amount they took during
the loading phase, 0.225 grams per kilogram
Creatine allows for greater endurance during workouts and is used by approximately one-fifth of all ECU athletes.

of body weight.
"We take Creatine on a voluntary basis. We
try to stay with these guidelines in administering
the product Connots said.
Connors estimates that one-fifth of all ECU
athletes take Creatine. Most of these athletes
play sports such as football, baseball and track,
sports that involve fast twitch muscle use.
ECU is not alone in its reliance on
Creatine.
"Among college football programs at the
college level, there are still a vast number of
programs that take Creatine Connors said.
As with any non-natural supplements,
Creatine does not come without its prob-
lems either.
"Last year there were many complaints
of Creatine causing muscle cramps, yet
many research studies have not been able
to reproduce this in the lab Connors said.
Connors believes that the problems
associated with Creatine are results of poor
quality Creatine and misuse of the product.
The lack of knowledge about the long-term
effects of Creatine are also a problem.
According to Connors, Creatine users defend
their stand by saying that many former Soviet
athletes have been using the product for

"We as players have been real
positive about the coaching
changes Jaynes said. "We have
adapted well to the situation
Gibson enjoys working with the
team and expects the Lady Pirates
to put up some fights this season.
"With the team being young,
this will help us in the ftiture
Gibson said. "We feel that we
should be able to compete in all of
our games this season though
"We have set basically three
goals for this season Gibson said.
"We are looking to be better than
last year, to have a .500 season, and
to win three CAA conference tour-
nament games. If we win the three
tournament games we will make it
into the NCAA national tourna-
ment
According to Gibson, the team
on top should be Old Dominion
once again. "They should be
ranked nationally in most presea-
son polls. The other teams that
should stand out are James
Madison, George Mason, and
Virginia Commonwealth Gibson
said.
To compete with these teams,
Coach Gibson plans to push the
ball and play a fast, up tempo
offense. They will play an in-your-
face, man-to-man defense to try to
frustrate the opposition.
The women's team will play its
first exhibition game at home on
Nov. 6, at 7 p.m against a Finnish
Team. All students are encouraged
to attend. ?,

All three of their losses have come
to teams in the Top 25, at Pcnn

Southern Miss has beaten the
Pirates over the last two years in
Greenville and holds a 17-6 advan-
tage in the series. ECU's last win
against Southern Miss came in
Hattiesburg during the 1995 sea-
son. In that game, the Pirates
faked a long distance field goal in
the final seconds, drawing a pass
interference penalty on Southern
Miss. Place-kicker Chad Holcomb
then kicked the game winner from
much closer range for a 36-34
Pirate win.
Senior tight end Buck Collins
says the series has evolved into
quite a rivalry and that a lot is rid-
ing on Saturday's game.
"This is the biggest rivalry, I
think, that we have on our sched-
ule Collins said. "From the
beginning of the year coach Logan
told us we had to go through two
teams to win a conference champi-
onship: Army and Southern Miss.
We've already beaten Army, so if
we come out and win this game

Creatine
continuid from page tO
decades.
Despite all the evidence on the
benefits of Creatine, many athletes
decide not to take it.
"I don't have a problem with it
: (Creatine). I just don't take it I
don't take anything. I just go off my
ability that God gave me and the
weight training that coach Connors
puts us through said ECU line-
backer Rod Coleman. I'm not into
taking drugs or supplements to
enhance my ability or performance.
That comes through hard work
Creatine is the only legal sub-
stance to be used by NCAA ath-
letes. The number of banned per-
formance enhancers continues to
grow as the market becomes crowd-
ed with newer drugs with bolder
claims. Connors sees the growth of
the market first hand as free sam-
ples of new drugs clutter his desk
drawer.
"I don't mess with these prod-
ucts. People send them to me, but I
can't distribute them because
they're not legal Connors said.
"They all do the same thing and
they are all banned by the NCAA
and the Olympic Committee
Any product that increases the
level of testosterone or increases
the user's heart rate is
banned under NCAA by
law number 31.2.3.1. Products
such as Nbrandrostenedione,
Dchydroepiandrosteronc(DHEA)
and Androstenedione all fall under
this category and are banned.
Androstenedione, which is legal
in Major League Baseball, became
famous this year after McGwire's
confession to taking them.
"I don't think you can say that
Mark McGwire's success is attrib-
uted to Androstenedione, because I
don't think it has such a significant
effect Connors said. "(He's) trying
everything he possibly can to maxi-
mize his performance and within
the realm of what's legal

continuad from page 10
came out strong in the first half
attacking the Braves' defense.
ECU's best chance of the first half
came 8 minutes before halftime
when Brian Denoo had a good shot
from 20 yards but UNCP keeper
Eric Gossctt had a great save. The
Pirates were unable to capitalize
before heading into the intermission
scoreless.
The Pirates' best scoring oppor-
tunity of the day came with 10:15
left in the first overtime as midfield-
er Garland Gill looked to have a
clear path on the left side of the goal
but missed on his only shot of the
game.
ECU almost didn't make it into
overtime as UNCP's Bryon
Coltrane, with only 1:13 remaining
in regulation, put the ball off
DeStefano leaving it free in the box
before ECU's Nick Errato cleared it
on the goal line.
