PHOTOS BY MARC CRIPPEN Help for drinking, drug use on the way PBTBR O.vwvoi ASSISTANT NKWS EDITOR With the ever-increasing awareness of stu- dents who are abusing alcohol and other drugs, the Center for Counseling and Student Development at ECU has begun looking into the possibility of hiring spe- cialized counselors to help curb the prob- lem. Due to numbers of underage drinkers at ECU and other universities in the area. many faculty members and students have begun work to start a support group for people who have been affected by alcohol and other drus. The group, in progressive stages will be sponsored by a committee known as Interventions to Make Positive Alcohol Changes Together (IMPACT). While numbers of drinkers at ECU are below the national standards, IMPACT feels it can focus on many other ways to help combat the drinking problem. Recently the committee has been focusing on ways to help not only students with alco- hol and drug problems, but also work with students who have had problems with friends and family who have been affected. Bob Motphet . head counselor for the Center for Substance Abuse, helps stu- dents with drug and alcohol problems ranging from simple possession to drinking and driving charges. Statistics have recent- ly shown that males who drink are eight times more likely to die accidentally than non-drinkers, and females who drink are at an even greater risk of dying of a fatal car accident than males. Morphet wants the group to focus on the effects and problems concerning binge drinking 'The one issue which we are really focusing on is binge alcohol; drinking not where people are drinking one drink but when people, have five or more drinks Morphet said. "That's where we have the most problem when involving problems on campus such as vandalism and people start to miss class due to drinking Donna Walsh, director of Health and Performance celebrates Kwanza Thespians of Diversity held play to celebrate holiday Rvciivki.

He was a member of the Society of Neuroscience, the Cajal Club, the NC Association for Biomedical Research, the American Association of Anatomists, the American Epilepsy Society, and the Alexander von Humboldt Association of America. In addition to Peterson's epilep- sy research, he was an artistic pho- tographer who enjoyed traveling, hiking, diving, and skiing. He par- ticipated in bicycle races and car shows organized to raise money needed for treatment of different diseases. He was also recently certi- fied to instruct handicapped per- sons in scuba-diving at Pitt County Memorial Hospital's Aquatic Center. "Gary was on the edge of every- thing he did said Dr. Jack Brinn, Peterson's department chair. "He was a very caring person, and I think if you had an opportunity to look around, vou would find a num- ber of people that he had helped out of a personal crisis Dr. Peterson is survived by his wife, two daughters and one grand- son. Dr. Peterson is a native of San Jose, Ca. and he completed a degree in Psychology at Humboldt State University. He received his postdoctoral training at the Salk Institute from 1980-83. Additionally, he studied at University of California at Irvine and U.C. at San Diego. While illus- trating his passion for other cultures and travel, he was the recipient of an Alexander von Humboldt fel- lowship for research conducted in Germany. Besides teaching at ECU, Peterson taught neuro- science in Guadalajara, Mexico and Antigua. summer school is pretty much self supported, so we have to charge for what summer school actually costs in order to pay faculty and so forth Balko said that in an academic year, the in-state student only pays fot about 19 of what tuition costs and the taxpayers cover the rest According to Clayton Sessums, from the Division of Continuing Studies, there will be two tuition changes this year. "The two changes include the usual annual increase and now this year it is proposed that we charge by the credit hour for summer school, not by block as we have in past years Sessums said. "Some students will pay less, say for instance, a student taking three hours Dan Bishop, ECU comptroller, says the proposed difference will be that summer school students will be billed by the credit hour instead of by blocks. The blocks are broken into a quarter basis. Undergraduate blocks range from zero to two, three to five, six to eight, nine to 11 and 12 or more. Graduate blocks run from zero to two, three to five, six to eight and nine or more. "It will cost undergraduates a little more and graduates a little less Bishop said. "Summer school has nothing to do with the General Assembly 2 increase According to Bishop, the 1999 spring rate will be used to figure out the cost of summer session as well as future semester rates. "Summer school tuition is set in relation to the academic year tuition and prorated by the amount of credit hours taken said Richard Brown, Vice Chancellor of Administration and Finance. "This is all strictly an estimate Balko said. "We will still go back to the block for next fall and spring Bishop said the $918 academic year rate that is recommended by the General Administration and set by the Board of Governors will be the basis to figure out what the summer school rate is. The same procedure is followed for out-of- state rates. getting better and people are beginning to recognize that we are an organization on campus said Junior William Best, a member of the ensemble. Performances have been held throughout the semester, involv- ing community members such as Mayor Nancy Jenkins and local elementary students. "We are smaller and can mobilize, do more in the community Williams said. "We are also a happy and uplifting group Their latest performance was centered around ??Kwanza, an African-American holiday which was created in 1966 by Dr. Ron Karenga. This holiday is celebrat- ed from December 26 to January 1 and is it is a cultural and spiritual, yet non-religious holiday. The concept was created dur- ing the civil rights era, when Black Americans, specifically Dr. Karenga, realized that there was no African-American holiday that related to their "growth, develop- ment, or essence It was formed under the theory called Kawaida which states that social revolution- ary change can be achieved by revealing to individuals their cul- tural heritage. Kwanza is, however, not only a celebration, it is a way of life designed to help Black Americans relate to the past, to understand the present, and deal with the future. During the seven day period, candles are lit each day for the dif- ferent principles which are cele- brated: unity, self-determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity, and faith. These seven tenants allow African-Americans to practice the principles that helped their ancestors endure oppression and slavery. The Thespians of Diversity had skits prepared to illustrate these seven principles; however, due to the low turnout not all of them were performed. 'This is not solely an African- American holiday, its principles are for everyone said Na'im K. Ackbar, student and minority peer mentor. "Since I don't celebrate Christmas, it is a holiday that I can celebrate without religious conno- tations and still get in the spirit of the holiday season Ackbar also visits area elementary schools and shares with students the value of Kwanza to everyone. "We can all learn from each other said Ackbar.

That was the delicate task before Jeffrey Katzenberg, co- founder of DreamWorks, as he shepherded the forthcoming film "The Prince of Egypt" which tells the story of Moses from concept to reality. "It is so much more complicat- ed, so much more challenging than simply making a movie Katzenberg told Time magazine in its Dec. 14 issue. Katzenberg met with 700 clerics and scholars, journeved to the Vatican, studied the BibJe and spoke to professors at Harvard's divinity school, all in an effort to get things right without stepping on anyone's toes. And instead of Moses action figures, the promo- tional tie-in will consist of a pack- age containing a book, compact disc and tickets to the movie. Letter bomber appears in court CANBERRA, Australia (AP) The man accused of sending a letter bomb that exploded at a Canberra mail sorting center faces more charges when he appears in court, police said Sunday. Colin George Dunstan, 43, was arrested Friday after he was admit- ted to Canberra Hospital with a slashed wrist and was ordered held until his court .appearance on Tuesday. Australian Federal Police Acting Sergeant Daryl Webb confirmed that Dunstan will face additional charges. Police said a search of Dunstan's home had revealed items and docu- mentation relating to people CO whom other explosive devices were sent. "It is also believed that the defendant has been involved in the mailing of 27 further explosive devices in the Australian Capital' Territory, New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria police said. Dunstan was formally charged Saturday with one count of damag- ing property with an explosive device, with intent to endanger life. By a Rocket Ferried Several miles above earth by a jetliner VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. (AP) A NASA satel- lite that will study star and planet formations was put into orbit Saturday The satellite was on a Pegasus XL rocket dropped from the belly of an L-1011 jetliner flying about 40,000 feet above the Pacific Ocean off the central California coast, NASA spokeswoman Donna Drelick said. The launch marks the begin- ning of a two-year $64 million mis- sion to learn more about the forma- tion of stars and planets. Scientists want to determine the composition of interstellar clouds and monitor how they cool as they collapse to form stars and planets, said Jim Sahli, spokesman for the Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md which will manage the mission. Pope's Poland visit to be lengthened WARSAW, Poland (AP) Pope John Paul II has extended a planned visit to his native Poland and may address parliament while in Warsaw, a newspaper reported Saturday. The pope's trip will begin June 5 and last until June 14, one day longer than originally planned, according to the daily newspaper Zycie. He has added new cities to his itinerary bringing his number of stops to 19. The trip would be John Paul's eighth to Poland since becoming pope in 1978. During his stay, he is expected to beatify more than 100 Poles killed under Nazi occupation. NC Edwards, Faircloth Spend More than $17 million, records show major candidates in the U.S. Senate race spent more than $17.2 million, according to federal campaign records, making it the third most expensive race in state history. Federal Election Commission reports filed last week show U.S. Sen. Lauch Faircloth spent more than challenger John Edwards, who unseated Faircloth in the Nov. 3 election. Faircloth spent $9,270,910 FEC figures show, while Edwards spent $8,050,297 during the same period. The race ranks behind the $26.3 million senatorial race between U.S. Sen. Jesse Helms and Gov. Jim Hunt in 1984 and the $25.5 million battle between Helms and former Charlotte mayor Harvey Gantt for Helms' seat in 1990. lUlr A jWcu 4 TmidtY, Dtcimttf 8. 1998 news Ths East Carolinian 10-year enrollment plan Preliminary report announces projections SliSANNE MlLENKEVlCH STAFF WRITF.ll ECU recently submitted a pre- liminary report to the North Carolina General Assembly about the university's 10 year enrollment projections and goals. "The General Assembly will look at how to meet the projected capacity with new buildings and distant education programs and; decide how to accommodate stu- dents with laboratories, classrooms and more faculty said Dr. Robert Thompson, planning and institu- tional research director. According to the Office of Planning and Institutional Research's 1998-2008 Long Range Enrollment Projections, it is esti- mated that by the year 2008 ECU will have an enrollment of 20,637 students while it has set a goal for 23,280 students. However, the UNC General Assembly has pro- jected that the university will have the capacity to accommodate 23,714 students. To develop the estimates, ECU considered the issues of growth in the pool of potential students, com- petition, student qualifications, financial implications and the uni- versity itself. Researchers estimate that with the completion of projects such as Joyner Library, the university's capacity could rise from the current total of 17,800 to 19,500 by the year 2008. Other projects in the planning stages include a science laboratory and technology building, which is planned to be completed by 2002 and would increase capacity of stu- dents by 1,700 students. By 2003 the university wants to complete an addition to the Rivers Building, which would have a posi- tive impact upon the home eco- nomics and nursing programs; how- ever, it would not increase the capacity of the institution. Additionally, ECU wants to begin a project to build new facili- ties for the School of Medicine, though this also would not increase student capacity. Furthermore, ECU is considering building a new multipurpose center to meet the needs of the athletic programs.

Exam week is upon us once again, as the dawn of semester's end sets visions of free time dancing in our heads. It seems that time is totally unavailable at this point in the semester, since this is when we need it the most. Folks are stressing to find that perfect Christmas gift for friends and family, and those students who work retail have to deal with the stress of helping the stressed find what they're looking for. Those who live far away have to make arrangements to get home for the holidays. Most importantly, we all have to study for our exams so we can take straight "A" report cards home to the fclks to hang up on the fridge. Most of us have been through the exam process, but let this be a lesson to the freshman: exams are no walk in the park. You cannot rely on waiting until the last minute to cram a whole semester's worth of knowledge into your brain in a few hours. Reading day is Thursday; here's a clue: start studying! Space your time out and don't spend much of this precious time on one subject. Take a 15-20 minute bireak after each hour of studying, and get a sufficient amount of sleep before and during exam days. Proper preparation leads to high confidence, and high qbnfidence leads to low stress and high grades. : Don't ruin your semester break because you bombed all of your exams. If you have been slacking, it is time to wake up and smell the coffeeliterally. Coffee ritiakes a good study mate if you absolutely insist on ignoring this advice not to cram. Make Mom and Dad happy this Christmas; present a good report card as a gift to them, and come back for the spring with no worries. OPINION Columnist Ryan Kennemur You can't buy her love, can you: ?

No, I am talking about the shopping trip that can make or break any relationship. j Since I am a guy (it's a fact), I am going to talk about guy shopping. There is something we guys know as the "Day before X- mas desperation move This is the time, just minutes before the stroke of midnight, when guys rush to the store and try desperately to find something to show their love, but seeing as how every quality product has already been purchased by other guys doing the same thing, they usually end up getting her whatever is left. This is usually something inappropriate, such as a broken Thighmaster (which really sends a bad message) or an outboard motor (which isn't as bad, but one must remember that it has a sharp propeller and can be used as a weapon). Here's an idea that is way past its time. Fellas, let's get our shopping done at the beginning of December. Hard to imagine? Not if you follow "Ryan-Dogg's Handy Dandy Shopping Guide (This is only a few excerpts from the actual book of the same name, due to hit the bookshelves in the spring of 2023.) Rulel: Never go through the door that opens to the lingerie section of the department store.

OPINION Columnist Stephen Kleinschmit Kleinschmit clears the ugly air Sometimes I feel that people art Just arguing for the sake of argument. It seems that this semester that I have been the instigator of many letters to the editor. I have enjoyed reading most of these, but I have wanted to respond to some that I feel result from misunderstanding. Sometimes I feel that people are just arguing for the, sake of argument. Recently, I received a letter from a reader who called me a "Republican from the North who doesn't want other than rich people to attend college" in relation to my article on requiring people to have computers at ECU. Well look here buddy, you stated that your parents help pay for your school. I receive absolutely nothing from my parents. I can afford to go here only because of my veteran benefits and loans. I paid for my truck, a new computer, utilities and rent, food, gas, and my fraternity dues because I know how to manage my finances and work for what I want and need. I'm sure that since you stated that you don't have a job, you probably just expect the magic computer fairy to put one under your pillow. I may be a "Republican from the North but it is far from the truth that I think that only rich kids should get the privilege of a college education. I also read letters from many of you who view Mark McGwire as a hero. Good for you; that's fine. I don't view sports stars as heroes. I think the NBA players are cowards for ruining the season. Sports are fun to watch, and I enjoy a good football or basketball game now and then, but I won't lose any sleep over Carolina getting beaten by College of Charleston on Saturday. I guess I just have different priorities. I prefer to live my life instead of watching it on TV. Then there was the notorious NorthSouth thing. I got a lot of hate mail from this one, but the whole purpose of the article was to poke fun at the rude Southern elitist attitude towards Northerners. Hell, we're all Americans. I had no idea that so many normal people considered themselves toothless idiots. I guess that people either misunderstood the meaning of the article or have a really bad opinion of themselves. OPINION Columnist Chris Coppedge Procrastiriators get goin' now, now I Procrastination is a problem, not always serious, but it seems to be catching. There arc only two weeks left in this semester, a concept that should leave many students and faculty happy. It is definitely time for an extended holiday break so we can recover and regroup for the next dose of learning in the spring. Of course, with only two weeks left, that means all final papers and projects are due. Time to stress out. If you are like me, you have decided to leave all of your papers and projects to the last possible moment. Yes, I am a procrastinator, a very good one in fact. I cannot tell if I procrastinate just because I am lazy, because I am too busy with other work, or because my best work is done when I am under the pressure of a deadline. I love it when I receive an "A" on a research paper that was supposed to take weeks to write, but I did it in an hour or so the night before I turn it in. This isn't always on purpose, nor do I always get an "A but I usually get a decent grade minus the sleep. The only problem with procrastinating is the schedules at the library and computer labs. Often times, I am only able to do my research late at night. Joyncr Library closes at 1 a.m. through the week and at 6 p.m. on the weekends. It also opens early, around six in the morning, but some of us prefer sleep to research. This semester I have had a very tight and hectic schedule, so I cannot work on the same schedule as the library. Plus, I have always done better work at night, so where do I go? Millions of dollars were spent to build our new library; maybe they could have considered hiring more people to work late nights. I know people need money and want jobs, and if it fit into their schedules, this would be a great opportunity for all. If the university would like to spend some money to help the students, they could also consider putting a copy machine in each of the dorms. Sometimes when I work late on my various assignments, I need to make copies, but every place I know that has a copier is closed. I know a couple of friends who have had the same problems dealing with the copiers. Procrastination is a problem, not always serious, but it seems to be catching. I should go do my work, i Good luck to all the procrastinators out there during the final weeks, especially in finding an open computer at night. Write a, Letter to tk& Editor Got something to say?

"Not many schools offer such a variety of programs .According to Pinkham, when applying for grad school, the most important things you can do is read all of the directions on your appli- cation, make all of the deadlines, and get in touch with graduate director in one's program. t "Depending on the program, some have earlier deadlines than others Pinkham said. That's why it is very important to know when they arc in order to get your appli- cation in on time According to Pinkham, important to talk to the graduate director in order for one's name to be more familiar to them. "I always encourage students to get in touch with their graduate director and let them know who they are, that they arc applying for their department, and that they are quite interested Pinkham said. "This way the director will have an idea of who you are if your name comes up again Then of course there are the graduate school exams that are similar to high school SATs called GREs. There are different forms of this test MATs, which is a 100 word analogies test, GMAT which is the exam taken by business stu- dents, and the TOEFL exam, which is for international students. "It is for students coming from foreign countries who were not taught in English Pinkham said. The GREs can be taken here at ECU. And if you're looking for a little more assistance before you take the GRE, there arc prep courses offered at the Student Life Research Assessment and Testing office. Once all of the information is received at the office of graduate admissions, Pinkham said it is keyed into the computer so that the graduate department has immediate access to a student's file. itt roperty lanogement Apartments & Rental Houses PO Box 83 ? 08 Brawled Drive.

Materials such as aluminum, paper, glass and plastic are recy- clable and can be placed in these bins. For information on special recycling pickups, call 328-60. "We have bins all over the place said Roy Briley, a member of the three-man team that collects the materials from the bins. "Everyone should be able to use them Briley said. Joyner Library, Mendenhall Student Center and the Student Recreation Center also offer ways to recycle. They take part in the recycling program by displaying collection bins and by recycling their own waste products. One of the reasons for the implementation of the recycling program is that the North Carolina legislature has made it mandatory for all state employees and agencies to recycle materials with a goal of 40 percent total waste reduction by the year 2000. Only specific materials are accepted for recycling. Items are separated into various categories. In the white collection trailer, 1 and 2 plastics, aluminum cans, glass (clear, brown and green) and paper (office, computer, newspaper) are accepted. A three man team goes around collecting these materials which account for 27 percent of ECU's waste. The teams are made up of staff, though work study stu- dents are also employed for the program. Cardboard and scrap metal should be placed beside the nearest dumpsters. There is now a fine for putting large amounts of cardboard into the landfills, so it saves the uni- versity unnecessary money if card- board is recycled. The money that is gained from the recycled materials goes back into the program. "We use the money to maintain our equipment like our trailer and metal containers said Tom Pohlman, who is in charge of the recycling program. The advantages of recycling include saving natural resources, energy and landfill space. Recycling also helps reduce costs of trash disposal and raw products. Pollution is also decreased as a result. "Recycling is just the right thing to do Pohlman said. The Office of Environmental Health and Safety is not the only group recycling. Many offices at recycling, if there really is one, is that it requires a sense of commit- ment Pohlman said. The Recycling Program has also taken its message online. Their web site located on the Environmental Health and Safety Web page. Their internet address is http:www.ecu.eduoehs. This site offers information about the program and recycling in general. One can access tips on recycling, reducing, and reusing. There is also Locations of Recycling bins: Austin Building - Biology Building ? Brcwster Building ? Flanagan Building ? Fletcher Musk Center General Classroom Building ECU recycle the material they use. Facility Services recycled 15,000 pounds of white goods last year. White goods include such things as broken air conditioners, scrap metal and various other materials. Facility Services also managed to divert 52,000 pounds of tires, batteries, oil filters and motor oil from the land- fill last year. Materials Management was able to recycle over 2,000 pounds of printer cartridges and other office waste. The Grounds Department recycled and composted 724,000 pounds of yard waste, most of which was the result of hurricane damage. Dining Services managed to recycle 63,000 pounds of cooking oil. Announcements are usually cir- culated to the faculty and staff to encourage them to practice recy- cling methods. But students are the key to on-campus recycling. Even everyday activities like using e- mail can help the environment. By using e-mail and other electronic data transfers, 250,000 pounds of paper were saved last year. "One of the disadvantages to ?

For those who are still con- fused about what materials are recyclable and ones which are not, this site will inform you. The '9798 fiscal year has been one of the best years for the recy- cling program. The list of materials that were recycled from various departments grew. Items include magazines, aluminum scrap metal, lead, fax paper, plastic drink con- tainers, corrugated and regular cardboard. If you wish to volunteer your services to the recycling program you may contact Tom Pohlman at 328-4234 or stop by the Office of Environmental Health and Safety.

James Hamm, who shot and killed someone when he was ? n teen-ager, will not teach classes this spring semester as planned;5" officials said Thursday, the same day The Arizona Republic had"1 reported Hamm's hiring. "The debate surrounding Mr1 Hamm's employment in the" classroom at ASU would be too disruptive to the educational32 environment, as evidenced by the" reaction to his hiring said Milton Glick, ASU provost and senior vice president. Some members of the legal community had been critical of the idea.

The Pirates 400 medley relay team of Andy Byrnes, Josh LePree, Richard Chen and Matt Jabs won event with a time of 3:30.38, which started the defeat of the devils. Pirates Adam Gaffey and Mike Julian won the 1000 freestyle and 200 freestyle, respectively. Claes Lindgrcn took the top spot in the 200 IM, while- Chen won the 200 fly. Diver Willy Hayes won the 1-m diving competi- tion and the rout was on. On a day when Pirate swimmers and divers preformed so brilliantly and won every event except the 200 backstroke, one ECU athlete had a particularly good day. Junior Matt Jabs won the 50 freestyle and later won the 100 freestyle. The Pirates capped the day with victories by- William Hudgins in the 500 freestyle, Ryan Baldwin in the 3-m board diving competition and Josh LePree in the 200 breast- stroke. "We swam very, very fast This is the fastest we've swam all year said Rick Kobe, ECU's head swimming coach. "On the guys side, they all swam well.

Jan. 16, at 2 p.m. vs. the College of ECU wins one, loses one in Davidson Invitational Veney named CAA player of the week Eric Couch SENIOR WRITER The ECU women's basketball team took an undefeated record to the Davidson Roundball Invitational this weekend, and returned home with their first loss of the season. With a spectacular defensive effort against Elon, the Pirates rolled to a 56-37 victory. The Pirates held Elon to shooting 5-26 in field goals and 12 points in the first half. Even though ECU was playing without team leader Waynetta Veney W a y n e t t a Veney, several other players stepped up and took charge. Veney sprained her ankle in last week's tournament in the Warner Classic. "The good file photo news about this game was that we won without our leader head coach Dee Gibson said. "We wanted to be very cau- tious about her (Veney's) ankle so we sat her out for a game One of the players that led the Pirates in the first game versus Elon was Danielle Melvin, who pro- duced a double-double by scoring 14 points and grabbing 121 rebounds. Cecilia Shinn also scored 10 points and brought down five rebounds while Beth Jaynes chipped in nine points and six rebounds. The victory moved ECU I to a record of 5-0 and to a chance to play host Davidson j in the championship game. That game would prove to bring a much tougher oppo- nent for the Pirates, even with their team leader return- ing. ECU lost in a frustrating j battle by a score of 82-62. It was a frustrating loss because Davidson was a much more physical team.

It was a victory of experience over pure talent, of one of golfs most amiable players over its most brilliant. "Obviously to have beaten someone like Tiger, it makes it a little special. He's a phenomenon said Price, who has been a profes- sional for as long as Woods has been alive. "I've got a great future behind me. He's going to win plen- ty "If he continues to refine his game as he's doing, he's going to be formidable Price said of Woods. "I'm glad I'll be hitting the senior tour then Price's win was in keeping with the season of Mark O'Meara, another 41-year-old, who won two majors and was named PGA golfer of the year. O'Meara was part of the elite field of 12 of golfs best play- ers, but finished fifth. Woods and Price both started the final round at the 7,597-yard Gary Player Country Club course four strokes behind another young sensation, Lee Westwood. But Westwood quickly faded,Josing two shots on the first four holes. He never recovered and ended up fourth. Meanwhile, Woods and Price playing as a twosome began trading birdies. By the 16th round, it was clear one of them would come our on top. By then, Price had scored six consecutive birdies on holes 9 through 14. Then, Woods staged a late- round charge, starting with a birdie on the 17th. It came down to the 462-yard 18th hole. Price was leading the field at 15-under, a stroke ahead on Woods.

Then, in the second half, ECU lost control, and eventually lost the game. The Wildcats scored 54 points in the second half and the Pirates continued their free-throw woes.

(AP) The San Francisco 49ers showed signs of missing Bryant Young on Sunday, and he let them know about it. Six days after losing their defen- sive leader for the season with a broken leg, the 49ers blew a 21- point lead in the final 16 minutes of regulation, then defeated Carolina 31-28 in overtime. As bad as the 49ers' defensrve peP" " forrnance was, coach Steve Mariucci quickly discovered that there was more embarrassment still to come. When the 49ers got back in their locker room, Mariucci telephoned Young to let the player know his teammates were thinking about him. "He told us we gave him a lot of pain today, squirming around in his &ed Mariuoci said. Carolina, the NFL's worst rushing team, ran for 203 yards against San Francisco - 131 more than the Panthers' average and 66 more than their previous best this sea- "No question, we missed B.Y said Gabe Wilkins, who started at left tackle in place of Young.

Now it's time to get that much more gritty about our perfor- mances and about toughness The 49ers finished with 236 yards rushing, the most allowed by jQarolina in its nearly foi tory. Young threw for 213 yards and two touchdowns and Garrison Hearst rushed for 139 yards and a score as the 49ers extended their NFL record of consecutivelO-victory Golf continued from page 12 He two-putted the hole for par, but Woods, his ball about 20 feet away on the fringe, used a sand wedge to sink an uphill 18-footer.

I wasn't sure I had the pace or not. As it kept rolling, kept rolling, about 3 feet from the hole, it looked like it had a really good chance, and then it went right in center Woods said.

Justin Leonard, who finished third with a 3-under 69 for 274, took home $200,000. It was the first appearance by Woods in the tournament, and in Africa, for that matter. He was treated as a hero by South Africa's majority black population and greeted by a huge gallery at each hole. Price said his knowledge of the course and maturity gave him the edge. "I was so focused today he said. "I knew I couldn't afford to make a mistake He didn't. seasons to 16. The 49crs' Terry Kirby added 68 yards rushing and a halfback option pass for another score. While the 49ers are headed to the postseason for the seventh consec- utive year, Carolina (2-11) has already locked up the worst record in its four-year history. ? JThc-Pafltherrtiave been plagued all year with injuries and poor exe- cution, and Sunday's loss featured more of the same. "We gave up big plays for touch- downs.

"You can't have that kind of execution and beat a team like San Francisco The Panthers' biggest blunder came on their third play from scrimmage in overtime, when aierlein. couldn't handle? the snap from Frank Garcia and San Francisco's Chris Ooleman pounced on the ball at the Carolina 30. The 49ers ran five plays, including a 17-yard bootleg by Young, to set up Richey's winning kick with 10:44 left. "The victory was there for the tak- ing, and we didn't take it Panthers cornerback Eric Davis said. "We didn't, they did. End of story. Good teams find a way to win Earlier miscues by Carolina appeared to point the 49ers safely toward their fourth consecutive victory over the Panthers. Carolina turned the ball over twice on the San Francisco 1-yard line, once on William Floyd's fumble and once on Beuerlein's interception, help- ing the 49ers build a 28-7 lead late in the third quarter.

MIAMI (AP) Edgerrin James ran for a school-record 299 yards and three touchdowns. Scott JCovington threw three TD passes and wasn't intercepted. Edward Reed forced a fumble with 3:24 left, keeping UCLA from sealing the outcome. There were plenty of Hurricanes to talk about following Miami's 49-45 upset of the previ- ously unbeaten Bruins on Saturday. But perhaps the most important one had a single name and last was seen somewhere over the Mississippi delta. Georges. Timing is everything. And when Hurricane Georges forced post- ponement- from tha gameVorigmal Sept. 26 date, it gave Miami's inex- perienced players time to mature. "This is great for the program said sophomore linebacker Dan Morgan, who made 17 tackles. "We are young and it shows all the great things yet to come In September, coach Butch Davis had 14 starting freshmen and sophomores still adjusting to their roles. By Saturday, the Hurricanes themselves had been one game away from a Bowl Championship Series berth by finishing second in the Big East. "They were better than they were when we were originally scheduled to play them UCLA coach Bob Toledo acknowledged. "Butch did a great job with this team Saturday may well have been a defining moment for a Miami pro- gram trying to emerge from the shambles of NCAA-imposed penal- ties and return among college foot- ball's elite. Last year's 5-6 record was its first losing season since 1979, before Miami's run of four national titles in nine years. The Hurricanes still have only 77 scholarship players, eight under the maximum, because of cuts imposed as punishment for an illegal-benefits scandal. Davis called the win a huge trib- ute to "our integrity and character. UCLA (10-1) dropped three places to No. 6 in the final regular- season poll, dropping out of con- tention to play for the national championship in the Fiesta Bowl. Instead, the Bruins were placed in the odd position of settling for the Rose Bowl as a consolation prize. Before the BCS was created, the Pac-10 champion was locked into spending New Year's in Pasadena, Calif. Under the new system, the Bruins would have been released to play for the national title. "We had a great year, but not great enough said wide receiver Brad Melsby, whose questionable fumble on Reed's hit opened the -We-mvesced U-rnonthsJA-fJuVteain?rionr for rhc HnriicaneSL- to win a game like this. It took our entire team's every ounce of heart and soul to win this game The season had its share of angst. The Hurricanes lost at home to Virginia Tech in overtime and struggled in the first half of a win over Rutgers. A 34-31 win at West Virginia was a breakthrough, but things fell apart last week when they were routed by Syracuse 66- 13, Miami's worst loss since 1944. "After last week, this was a big win said James, whose 1,416 yards rushing this season also is a school record. "We had nothing to lose and a bunch to gain. We went out and we did it Miami (8-3) was propelled back into the ratings at No. 24. And as thousands of fans stormed the Orange Bowl field after time expired, the Hurricanes left the impression of great things to come. "In my whole career, I never played in a game where the fans rush the field at the end defen- sive tackle Michael Lawson said. "I'd seen it on television, but I'd never experienced it. It's indescrib- able. This is what I played for Alabama to play Virginia Tech in Music City MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) Alabama will face a team it has never lost to in the inaugural Music City Bowl in Nashville, Tenn. The Crimson Tide (7-4) faces Virginia Tech (8-3) on Dec. 29, the first meeting between the two teams since 1979. Alabama has won all 10 games in the series. The Hokies, an at-large selec- tion, finished third in the Big East while Alabama was a selection from the Southeastern Conference. "This is a big step said Tide coach Mike DuBose, whose team .went 4-7 and sat out the postseason in 1997. "The circle's not complete- ly closed yet, but obviously there's not as much of a gap as there was at the first of the season. We're headed in the right direction Alabama is the all-time leader in bowl appearances (48) and victories (28). But after DuBosc's nightmar- ish debut season, the Tide was happy just to get back into postsea- son play of any sort "Sometimes when you're at a university like Alabama, with our rich tradition, you take that for granted DuBose said. "I think we're much more appreciative of this opportunity (after last season) 49ers continued from page 13 "Offensively we seemed to kind of idle it down and try to see if we could get out of there, and that's way too early. We got caught. We got burned, and it's tough to reignite us. Beucrlein, who threw for 235 yards and three touchdowns, started the comeback with a screen pass that Anthony Johnson turned into a 38- yard score with 52 seconds left in the third quarter. After Carolina forced a San Francisco punt, Raghib Ismail got behind the 49ers' secondary for a 40-yard touchdown pass. Another punt by the 49crs set up a 36-yard reverse by Ismail, who was yanked down by his facemask by Ken Norton, putting the ball at the San FranciscolO. Tshimanga Biakabutuka scored on a burst through the right side of the 49ers' line on the next play. John Kasay's kick tied it with 6:20 remaining. The Panthers got back into scoring range once more in regulation, but Kasay was wide right on a 47-yard field-goal try with 22 seconds left. San Francisco couldn't get into field-goal range before time expired. The Tide is coming off a 31-17 win over Auburn, storming back from a 17-point deficit to keep its bowl hopes intact. Virginia Tech, making its sixth straight bowl appearance, had a. topsy-turvy regular season. The Hokies started off 5-0 and rose to a No. 14 ranking before blowing a 17- 0 lead in a loss to Temple, which hadn't beaten a ranked team in 11 years. Then, the Hokies gave up a touchdown pass to Syracuse on the last play of the game and blew a 29- 7 halftime lead against Virginiala- the season finale. Virginia Tech wound up losing that game 36-32. "Virginia Tech is one play away from being in the (Bowl Championship Series) DuBose said. "They gave up a fourth-down touchdown to lose a game at Syracuse. If they win that game, they win the big East Conference and are playing in the BCS The Hokies lost 42-3 to North Carolina in last year's Gator Bowl.

KV PAYNTER BTAFi WRITER The Greenville Police Department is tak- ing steps to make Greenville a much safer ity for its residents. According to Captain John Ennis, Commander of Patrol with Greenville Police Department, since the crime rate is increasing rapidly the Police Department has come up with a few pre- cautionary programs. Project l.D. is one that helps victims repossess valuable property if they are robbed. This service includes engraving an l.D. number in valuable property such as computers, stereos and TVs. "When the property is reported stolen, we check pawn shop records and reposses- sion for the l.D. number and usually can locate it Ennjs said. Crime Stoppers is a campaign that has been around for years. People can call w ith- out leaving their name and report informa- tion about a crime. If the information leads to an arrest, the person could be rewarded up to $2500. The new but popular program, 830- EVES, is similar to the famous Crime Stoppers. Residents can call this number to report any suspicious activity or potential crime and it will be investigated. It is not a substitute for 411! It should not be used for emergencies. According to the 1998 FBI Uniform Crime Reports, about one third of all vic- A popular program, 830-EYES allows residents to report suspicious activity in areas where they do not feel safe. FILE PHOTO tinis of violent crimes are between ages 19 and 25. Students are a target for burglaries especially since they leave for breaksholi- days and own expensive bikes, computers and other things of that nature. During hol- idays, police officers patrol more frequent- ly, but it does not always help. "Wc cannot do it by ourselves; crime prevention is just as much an individual responsibility as it is the police depart- ment's Knnis said. When choosing a place to live, look for a quality neighborhood that appears to be safe. Look for one with sufficient lighting. "Nowhere can you be absolutely guar- anteed, you can just decrease your odds said Knnis. Another type of repeated crime among students occurs when students leave from downtown. "Most of the time when they walk home from downtown, they have had a few drinks and think nothing could hap- pen to them said Knnis. People who leave the downtown area on foot and alone are at great risk for being attacked. Law enforcement officers recom- mend that students wall in groups and be extremely alert of their surroundings. "There is nothing new, no new crime theories. Just be aware of w hat is going on j said Captain Knnis. The most important tool in crime pre- vention is your mind, according to a recent, crime control survey. Residents can be pro- tected from crime by using common sense and a few standard security devices. For example, install more than one lock on win- dows and doors and drive a nail through the window jamb so it cannot be raised. I lowever, remember even the best security devices will not keep you safe if you do not : use them. The ECU Police work to patrol campus and keep students safe. FILE PHOTO SAFETY TIPS Here are some tips from the North Carolina Department of Crime and Public Safety to reduce your risk of being victimized: -Never tell a caller that, you are alone. -Look through the peephole to see who is at your door. -If you think a forced entry has been made, do not go inside. Security cameras to help prevent crime Half of crime statistics declining CHjnsTi s i ii n S-TAl I H HIT KR Video surveillance cameras are in the I diversity's future plans, according to Tom Younce, assistant director at ECU's Police Department. Although Younce isn't sure exactly when the cameras will be installed, he does know where. Two years ago, ECU asked Lockwood Cireene, Inc a security company from Spartenburg S.C to decide where the cameras would be most beneficial to faculty, staff and students. The goal was to place cameras in parking lots on campus property. "Our problem is funding Younce said. The police department doesn't have a budget large enough to incor- porate the cameras' installation, thus will have to rely on other means of funding for the project. However, the police department j has Jejen granted money through tWe Governor's Highway Safety i Program to put video cameras in i two patrol cars. The department will also install j computers in the patrol cars. This will help in identifying people and unning national license plate -?hecks. "One of the department's biggest problems is non-students on and around campus Younce said. He hopes that these cameras md computers will correct the vari- ous problems incurred by these people. Abrial Hayes speaks to an ECU Police officer in a parking area that may benefit from a security camera FILE PHOTO ECU Police Department is the second largest in the state, behind NCSU. "We hope to put a stamp of approval on what we are doing here Younce said. Within the coming year, the ECU Police Department will be seeking national accreditation by having to meet about 600 standards. "This will only be helpful to our police department Younce said. If the accreditation was not finalized, they would know where the police department stood and could make the necessary changes. The police department is increasing efforts to maintain a safe carhpus by continu- ing patrols and Installing more emergency blue-light phones. According to Sgt. LaFrance Davis of the ECU Police Department Crime Prevention Division, there arc approximate- ly 80 phones on campus. "The goal is to install five phones per year over the next five years Davis said. According to Younce, when new campus buildings are being planned, their layout must include an emergency phone. In addition to adding new emer- gency phones to campus, the police department is working with Facility Services to make the phones more handicapped accessible. Handicapped accessible phones will be located on taller brown poles instead of the current orange ones. Another change includes the redesigning of the first floor of the Blount I louse, where the F.CU Police- Department is locat- ed. This will increase the effectiveness of the telecommunica- tions center. Currently, the center handles all emer- gency and non-emer- gency calls, which include 911 and TDD (hearingspeech impaired). The equipment is designed to monitor campus burglary and fire alarms and secu- rity telephones in addition to regular, daily functions. When the remodeling and instal- lation of new equipment is com- plete, the telecommunications cen- ter will be able to monitor the video surveillance cameras and have an enhanced caller tracking system. Construction began the week of Oct. 12, 1998 and the anticipated completion is 120 days later. The ECU Police Department wants to make other changes, but funding is limited. "The university has always been good to us as far as funding Younce said. He pointed out that needs must be met before wants fan be pursued. Elena Thioo staff R 1 I KH If you have ever reported anything stolen at ECU, then you arc a part of the statistics kept at the ECU Police Department. "Most of the calls that we receive are reports of stolen bookbags or bikes reports Sgt. LaF'rance Davis, crime prevention officer. Arson, drug sales and murder are just a few of the other areas in which statistics are kept. According to the ECU web page, more than half of the record- ed crimes have declined over the past five years. Crime rates have gone down in many areas. In 1993 there were 45 counts of burglary, and 36 in 1997. Drug possession counts went down from 37 counts in 1993 to 22 in 1997. DWI went down form 57 counts in 1993 to 37 in 1997. Liquor-law violations went down from 8 counts in 1993 to 3 in ?1997. And finally weapons viola- tions went down from 27 counts in 1993 to 14 in 1997. According to statistics, other areas have gone up in the last five years. Larceny went up from 351 counts in 1993 to 408 in 1997. Simple assault went from 43 counts in 1993 to 53 in 1997. "You will find that our statistics may be higher than other schools in some areas because we report all of our statistics Pavis said. "We don't hide anything under the rug University of North Carolina at Chapel I lill's rates are higher than EC! i in the areas of burglary and larceny. The number of burglaries at UNC-Chapel Hill during 1995 to 1996 was 56 counts. At ECU during the 1995 to 1996 period there were 50 accounts. During the 1995 to 1996 period at UNC-Chapel Hill there were 758 accounts of larceny. There were only 692 accounts at ECU. Crime rates'at UNC were lower in the categories of rape and robbery during that two-year peri- od. The one category that was vastly lower at UNC was DWI. During that two-year span of 1995 to 1996, there were only 34 cita- tions. At ECU there were 93. According to the ECU web page, one of the eight core values of the ECU Police Department is to continuously seek improvement. "The major area that is under improvement is larceny Davis "said. "Bookbags form the student store and bikes are the main things stolen. "Because of the more awareness of crime on campus, there are more females taking self defense to pre- vent assault on themselves Davis said. One suggestion that Davis makes for self protection is to use the "buddy system "If you have to go across cam- pus it is good to take someone witlj you Davis said. 17 Tuasday, I ( COl lov eve N I e o I.

Underwood S I F V W HI T K R It was love at each tap of the key for Crystal Watson and Jayneen Thomas, who met in a chat room two years ago. "First we started e-mailing one another, and before I could send a photo of myself I had Jayneen on a bus Crystal said. "My plans were just to stay until June, but I didn't go back. I decided to move down here Jayneen said. Crystal and Jayneen have been married for a year now and face the same challenges of many mar- ried college students. Yet when they kiss each other in public, thi-y receive disapproving looks and rude comments. Crystal and Jayneen are a les- bian couple. "We are just like het- erosexuals. We fall in love. We fight. We make up Crystal said. She feels that many heterosexuals mistakenly think that homosexual relationships are just about sex. "The sex is good, but it's not about sex she said. "When I first tame out to my family everything was fine, but after I told them that I was getting married it turned to a different story Crystal said. "They fed into the stereotype of homosexual relationships. I feel they want to accept me deep clown inside, but they are afraid of what people might think, rather than how I feel as a person Neither Crystal's nor Jayneen's families came to the wedding, which was held at the Unitarian Universalist Church. So they had seven close friends stand up with them at the altar on May 1,1997. "I was more hurt that my sister did not come more than any one else in my family Crystal said. "I didn't invite my family because they don't know that I am a lesbian Jayneen said. "I would have wanted them to be there, if I could just get the courage to tell them Aside from their families' dis- approval of their relationship, Jayneen sees prejudice in the media. She believes that although people are becoming more aware about homosexual relationships because of TV, the characters are unrealistic. "Chasing Amy a 1997 film in Which actress Joey Lauren Adams portrays an experimenting les- bian, has Adams questioning her sexual orientation after meeting a character played by Ben Affleck. "The movie didn't help others see what homosexual relation- ships are about said Crystal. "I feel once you're a lesbian, you're always a lesbian; you're not going to change Crystal and Jayneen both say homosexual relationships have nothing to do with role-play. No one plays the man and no one plays the woman. "Gay men aren't always flam- boyant, and lesbians aren't always butch Crystal said. "These stereotypes are just helping feed the ignorant people who don't know any better She believes that one way to change people's views on homo- sexual relationships is to rid TV shows of negative stereotypes, and that a negative stereotype often shown on sitcoms is the por- trayal of gay men as feminine-or wealthy. But "Ellen" was a sitcom that showed a realistic view of a lesbian by revealing Ellen as a person. Crystal and Jayneen feel that the only way society will change the view of homosexual relationships is by-reaching out to the kids before their minds are clouded by their parental preju- dices. "People need to start looking at us as people and not be imagin- ing whdt we are doing in our bed- room Jayneen said. College relationships can be complicated, but ohhhhh so rewarding Ryan Kennemur staff writer It's 9:30 on a Friday night, and a freshman girl sits alone in her dorm room waiting for the phone to ring. Her roommate has gone home for the weekend, and so have her suite mates. In a dorm room on the other side of the building sits a freshman boy playing video games with the lights off. Sound like you or any- one you know? If so, then open your eyes to the "Wonderful World of Meeting People at ECU Everyone knows about the clubs downtown, but not many know what to do when they get there. Some go out to the dance floor and try to bump into a com- patible companion, while others opt for the less effective approach of sitting at the bar and hoping to strike up a conversa- tion. Both are acceptable, but some people find other ways. "I like to go downtown and dance with the guys junior Susan Taylor said. "It's pretty fun, but I'd say the best place to meet date material would be at work, especially in an elevator. I've met plenty of nice guys at work in the elevator. All you have to do to start a con- versation is ask what floor they are going to Other students agree with her on the idea of meeting in the workplace. "Many people that meet in the workplace have a ' chance to develop a friendship before they try the actual dating thing sophomore Brent Best said. "My fiancee and I met at the pizza place I work at Meeting in the workplace and downtown isn't for every- one. In fact, some students aren't quite old enough to get in the downtown night spots. These people must resort to more uneconomical ways of meeting people. "When I was a freshman, I always met people in my classes, especially the first day of class junior Chris Mizelle said. "I could always get in a conversa- tion with someone. I mean, since you're in the same class together, you already have something in common Another place that underage students can meet is at church or one of the many church-oriented groups on campus such as the Baptist Student Union or New Life. "I've met lots of people through Church and youth group activi- ties said junior Kelsey Dixon, a junior Business major, who for the last three years has dated a boy she met at a retreat. "Church is the place where you meet the nicer guys. Most of the guys down- town are jerks, anyway This brings us to the next and newest way to meet people: the Internet. Many students stay online for hours at a time meet- ing people in electronic chat rooms. "I have two or three friends that met others through chat rooms junior Caleb Rose said. "I even know one guy who is getting married to a girl from Portland, Oregon that he met - on America Online. It's that addictive. They exchanged pic- tures through their e-mail accounts and a few months later, they were flying back and forth to visit each other Dr. Phyllis Monroe, a sociology pro- fessor, says that the statis- tics look a little different than one might expect them "On the average, about 50 percent of all students meet prospective relationship material in the classroom. About 20 per- cent meet in the dance clubs, and the rest is divided between such places as the workplace and church-related places. Only a small percentage of the student body actually meet on the Internet she said. So the next time you are at a restaurant, or even a gas station, look around. You might see someone you would like to see more of. Married students face unique dilemmas Many wouldn't have it any other way Teri Ho well staff writer Melissa Bender is not waiting for Mr. Right to come and sweep her off of her feet like many of her col- lege-age female peers may be. Instead, she looks forward to see- ing the familiar face of her hus- band appear in the doorway as he returns home from class or running an errand. Melissa and Berry Bender do not lead the typical college life. On Aug. 1, 1998, they vowed to spend the rest of their lives together as husband and wife. They were married in their hometown of New Bern, NC, and now they face the challenge of maintaining a mar- riage and balancing the task of being college students. There are about 17,800 stu- dents who are enrolled at ECU, according to the Office of Planning and Institutional Research. Of those students, only 740 are cur- rently married. As one might imagine, being married has changed the lifestyle that Berry and Melissa once livedYou have to focus on each other Berry said. "The relation- ship is taken to a whole different level. It's not just love. I don't even know how to explain it. It's your whole life and that love is a lot deeper than something you say to a girlfriend. Sometimes it scares you, but sometimes it's good too Along with any relationship, there arc certain pressures that exist. The fact that they have made a lifetime commitment to each other is something on which they remain continually focused. "You have to talk about every- thing and think before you say things Melissa said. "It's not just any roommate that you're talking to For this newlywed couple, remembering that they must always consider the feelings of the other person has been one of the added pressures to face. Berry wor- ries about doing his best to be kind. There are times when he may be aggravated, which causes him to get short with his wife. "It's a pressure to know when you are frustrated because you have to pull back Berry said. Another responsibility that comes with marriage is deciding who will do which household chores in the apartment close to campus where they live. Melissa is responsible for keeping the entire apartment clean, while Berry does all of the cooking and grocery shopping. "Cleaning is like torture to me. I know it's not fair because Melissa does more work Berry said. However, these rules are not set in stone. "If there is something that needs to be done, it's okay to ask the other person for help Melissa said. Since both Melissa and Berry- are students, they spend much of their free time studying. They study together much of the time. Berry is a business major, and Melissa's major is exercise physiol- ogy. Berry has found that being married has given him a new focus on school. Since their engagement, his GPA has increased. "I need to be able to get a good job because I have a family to sup- port he said. "I want to be able to support Melissa so that she can stay home with our kids one day, if that's what she decides she wants Other people have been very supportive of the marriage. Even the fact that Berry is 19 and Melissa is 20 has not caused peo- ple to look at them negatively. "People see you as one. They respect you more Melissa said. They do admit that some peo- ple initially react strangely, sur- prised to see a couple that made such a commitment. That hap- pened on one occasion when Melissa missed a class that she has with Berry, so he offered to grab her quiz and take it home to her. He had to explain to the professor in front of the class that Melissa is his wife. The students in the class seemed surprised, and a little whispering took place, but other than that it was no big deal. "As soon as you say i do' you learn a lot about real life Berry said. eastcarolinian Amy L.Roystkr Editor Amanda G.
