Carolinian THURSDAY, JANUARY 21 ,1999 VOLUME 74, ISSUE 31 Commemoration of MLK Day Community gathers in tribute to King C R a l o D . Ram i: v SENIOR WRITER While numerous members of the commu- nity gathered to celebrate the feats of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. with candlelight vig- ils' and plays, one tribute that will be remembered for years is the renaming of West Fifth St. in the civil rights leader's name. Last year County Commissioner Jeff Students celebrate MLK Day Events on campus make public aware of King's accomplishments Savage and Bennie Rountree, Pitt county president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference(SCLC) led the crusade to change the name of Fifth St. to honor King. The process of changing the name of West Fifth St. was met with controversy. Many Fifth St. residents and business own- ers opposed the renaming of the street, but the Greenville City Council voted in April to adopt the changes. According to Rountree, many other loca- tions were given consideration before the final decision was made to change West Fifth St. "In the beginning we had less com- plaints about Fifth St Rountree said. Many in opposition said Fifth St. was one of Greenville's oldest and most famous West Fifth St.was recently renamed Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd. PHOTO BY MICHAEl SMITH streets. Others complained about changing the numeric sequence of streets in the downtown area. Businesses complained that they would incur expenses involved in changing func- tional items like letterhead. Businesses and organizations affected include Globe Hardware, NAACP, The Percolator and Park Theater. Some said the renaming may cause prob- lems with road maintenance, since the area between Albermarle Road and Memorial Drive is a state maintained road. However, Greenville's city planner disagrees. "On a minor change like this the state probably wouldn't have any problem accepting the name change said Harry Hamilton, Greenville city planner. Organizations including the Board of Jason Mkrkii s i a i writer Over the past week ECU has provided many interesting opportunities for students and the public to celebrate Martin Luther King Day. Students and faculty have worked hard to produce a unique way for those who were interested to look back and commemorate the life of King through plays, vigils, speeches and other events. Professor Reginald Watson of the English Department recently wrote a play entitled "I've Been to the Mountain Top and It Don't Look So Good It was per- formed in Mendenhall Student Center on Martin Luther King Day. The play focuses on King rising from the dead in 1999 only to find out that his dream of racial harmony has not been achieved. Watson, who has written two other plays, felt that the turnout was great, with almost every seat in the auditorium filled. " I wanted to help in spreading the message and symbol of Martin Luthet King through the play so that I could educate and enter- tain Watson said. Later in the day, people of all races worked together to promote King's memo- ry and his teachings through a candlelight vigil. The vigil began at the top of College Hill and was followed by a march across campus. A program was later performed which featured music performed by the ECU Gospel Choir. Those who attended the program after the march were addressed by Dorothy Spruill Redford, site manager of Somerset Place, a historic plantation site on Lake Phelps in Washington and Tyrrell counties. Redford spoke of the importance of African Americans to have knowledge of and celebrate their rich heritage. She also stressed the importance of living our dai'y lives with King's ideals in mind, not just one day out of the year. Na-im Akbar, mentor for ECU's Ledonia Wright African American Cultural Center, said that the turnout as well as the response from those in attendance was Students enjoy beautiful weather in-between classes PHOTO BY HIKE JACOBSEN encouraging. Akbar hopes that events like these, as well as the upcoming events scheduled in February, which is Black History Month, will increase peoples' understanding of racial diversity. "We live in a diverse society and we need to promote that diversify and respect each others' heritage as we move toward the 'one society' that King spoke of The events were sponsored by the KCV Student Union Awareness Committee, the National Pan-Hellenic Council, the I ,edonia Wright African American Cultural Center, Allied Blacks for Leadership and Equality, and the Martin Luther King Observance Committee. "We live in a diverse society and we need to promote that diversity and respect each others' heritage as we move toward the 'one society' that King spoke of Ackbar Professor Reginald Watson English Department Sponsors hoped that these programs helped provide students with a chance to gain a better understanding of the life and times ofthe civil rights leader and his ideas. Three students attend African-American Leadership Conference Addressed issues of past and present leadership models Rag ha ei. H io don STAFF WRITER Three ECU students attended the fifth annual National African-American Student Leadership Conference in Holly Springs, Mississippi, Jan. 16-18. This year, the conference was designed to address issues of liberation and analysis of African-American leadership models past and present. Students from across the U.S. attended, representing areas ranging from Texas to Iowa. Most attendees came from predominately white campuses, in an effort to learn how to communicate effec- tively with all races. The theme of speak- ers this year was "Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos or Community?" Held at the historically Black Rust College, over 500 students attended the workshops and lec- tures. The SGA sponsored the trip taken by delegates Yalonda Thigpen, Tiffany Lee and Na'im Ackbar, who were ECU's first representatives to attend. The SGA became aware of the opportunity through information that was sent to the Cultural Center and presented to them through Ackbar. "The conference gave us a good chance to network and improve our skills in lead- ership Lee said. "It also allowed us to take a look at some of the racial problems and issues that other schools are address- ing "We need to bridge the gap between the various ethnic groups Ackbar ECU student and community activist Ackbar, ECU student and community activist, spoke on the importance of African-American students forming com- munity alliances.

(AP) The Atlantic Coast Conference and city of Greensboro hope to use this year's NCAA East Regional championship as a warmup for a future Women's Final Four. In a bold move in an area known as a hotbed for ACC men's hoops, ACC commissioner John Swofford said Tuesday the league will submit a bid by the end of the month to host the 2004 Women's Final Four at the Greensboro Coliseum. "I think this is an opportunity �for the city of Greensboro and sur- rounding area to really put itself on �the map in terms of women's bas- ketball and its support of women's basketball Swofford said of this year's regional final, which will be rplayed March 20 and 22. : Communitv suonort and.atten- dance at the event will play huge roles in whether the Greensboro Coliseum will be a legitimate con- tender for a future Final Four, said Swofford and Bernadette McGlade, ACC assistant commis- sioner for women's basketball and chairwoman of the NCAA Division I Women's Basketball Committee. & "This will be a great measuring �.stick McGlade said. "We have talked about wanting to be in the 7,000 to 8,000 in attendance, and if Greensboro gets to 12,000 then the i city makes a huge statement for women's basketball. "The regions that have started doing that are getting favorable nods in terms of getting other NCAA championship events she added. "There are certain limita- tions in Greensboro, but being a . hotbed for women's basketball can overcome those Swofford said Greensboro would likely be competing against a number of cities for the Final Four bid. including regional foes Charlotte and Atlanta.

On an August morning in 1980, Diane Chalfinch and her nine-year- old daughter were found stabbed to death in their apartment in Pinchurst, N.C. A distinctive ring, quickly identified as the property of her neighbor, Brown, was found inside Chalfinch's body. What was characterized at the time as "Mr. Brown's bloody hand print" was also discovered in Chalfinch's apartment. Drops of blood which trailed from Chalfinch's apartment door to Brown's apartment door were also found at the scene. Brown worked with Chalfinch at the hotel where they both lived. This evidence, along with Brown's inability to submit an alibi and a suspiciously deep knife wound on Brown's hand, con- vinced a jury beyond reasonable doubt to sentence Brown to death. Brown's lawyers, however, con- tinue to raise questions about the incriminating evidence. His ring was one of the key pieces of evi- dence in the conviction, but Brown testified that he removed his ring at a party where he was spinning records on the night the murders took place and that he did not sec it again until it was submitted as evi- dence in his murder trial. Investigators could identify nei- ther the origin nor the age of the blood trailed between the two apartments, finding only that it did not belong to either Brown or the victims. Experts testified that the blood could have been there for many years prior to the incident and that it could not even be posi- tively identified as human blood. Investigators were also unable to find a single drop of Brown's blood in the victims' apartment or any of the victims' blood in his, a fact that even prosecutors had difficulty explaining under the circumstances of such a bloody crime. In 1994, a former co-worker of Chalfinch, told police that he saw her ten miles away from her apart- ment at 4:45 a.m. on Monday morn- ing, the exact time when she was supposedly being stabbed to death in her apartment According to the witness himself, however, the pros- ecution intentionally kept him hid- den in a hotel under a fake name to prevent him from testifying. Two other witnesses, also co-workers, said they were ignored by police. They claim to have heard a woman screaming "Leave her alone in Chalfinch's apartment a day-and-a- half after Chalfinch was supposedly dead. A few minutes later they saw a man that they could positively identify as one of Chalfinch's ex- boyfriends jumping from the bal- cony of her apartment. They said that the ex-boyfriend saw them, said "Oh my God and ran off. Police took the witnesses' state- ments, but they never appeared in court " can happen to anyone Muhammad Defense attorneys say they knew little about most of this evi- dence until 1994, because at the time of the trial the prosecutors refused to allow them to investigate the scene or have access to evi- dence that the prosecution had gathered. Earlier this year, due to a feder- al law passed in 19 allowing defense attorneys to have access to the prosecution's evidence in post- conviction cases where the death penalty is involved, Muhammad was granted a stay until Feb. 8, when a similar case will go before the Supreme Court If the Supreme Court decides to allow the defense attorneys in that case to review the prosecutors' evidence, Muhammad's attorneys hope to have the same opportunity and be granted an evidential hearing, ten- tatively scheduled for April 5, to decide whether or not Muhammad will be granted a retrial. Muhammad's attorneys were unable to comment about the pending fate of their client but Muhammad felt that he should issue a warning to the public. "It can happen to anyone Muhammad said.

In a report issued in November f 1998 by the Office of Planning nd Institutional Research institu- ional, projections estimated that ECU'S enrollment could rise from ts current enrollment of 17,799 to 0,637 by the year 2008. But, the General Assembly estimated that nrollment could reach 23,714. The projected 14 percent and 25 ercent increases, respectively, will come as ECU completes uilding projects that would ncrease the university's capacity. uch projects include a Science 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 Michael P.Balko university cashier for summer school, not by block as we have in past years Clayton Sessoms from the Division of Continuing Studies said in a previ- ous interview. A 2 percent increase in tuition was added to the fall semester bills at all 16 North Carolina campuses during the General Assembly's short session in October of 1998. This was later approved by the UNC Board of Governors in November 1998. The tuition hike was recommended to the legisla- ture as a part of the biannual bud- get that was drafted in 1997 by the UNC system. "Historically, tuition fees have gone up by 2 and 3 percent per aca- demic year Michael P. Balko, university cashier, said in a previ- ous interview. While UNC-Chapel Hill sent supplement bills to collect the 2 percent for the 1998 fall semester, ECU added the increase to the 1999 spring semester bill. The tuition increases will also affect summer classes as billing will now charge students per credit hour instead of by the block which is broken into a quarter basis. "We are mandated from the General Administration that we needed to charge by the credit hour instead of the block Balko said in a previous interview. According to Dan Bishop, ECU "We are mandated from the General Administration that we needed to charge by the credit hour instead of the block Michael P.Balko comptroller, the 1999 spring rate will be used to figure out the tuition of the 1999 summer session as well as future semester rates.

WASHINGTON (AP) The Supreme Court will decide whether a disputed federal law violates free- speech rights or effectively protects compulsive gamblers from the lure of casinos. The court said Jan. 15 it will judge the validity of a ban on televi- sion and radio ads that promote casi- nos not owned by Indian tribes. The ban is only in effect in some pans of the nation because some federal appeals courts have ruled it unconstitutional while others have upheld it. For example, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals struck down the ban last year, blocking its enforcement in nine Western states Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana.Nevada, Oregon and Washington. The Supreme Court refused last February to review that But Congress in the past 20 years has amended the anti-broadcast law to allow airing ads for casinos on Indian reserva- tions, state-run lotteries or any gam- bling sponsored by nonprofit pro- moters working for charitable pur- poses. Today, 37 sates and the District of Columbia sponsor and aggres- sively advertise lotteries, and more than two-thirds of the states are home to Indian-owned casinos. Non- Indian casinos are legal in 22 states, and the appeal acted on Jan. 18 focuses on how the federal ban affects advertising for those establish- ments. The New Orleans-based 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the ban. Justice Department lawyers say the New Orleans court was right They point to studies detailing economic and social problems, such as compulsive gambling and orga- nized crime, associated with casi- no gambling and other gaming activities. In seeking to have the 5th Circuit court's ruling overturned, the Greater New Orleans Broadcasting Association and indi- vidual radio and television stations contend that the government's stat- ed concern for compulsive gamblers is hard to swallow.

Gratmilla. ?8b8-t353 Fot i auajw oumew � It astonishes us that anyone feels it a fitting tribute to divide a street in half (a division which happens to fall on racial lines) and give only a portion of it in honor of a man who gave his life for racial equality and desegregation. Dr. Martin Luther King, JR. was murdered because he promoted racial equality through non-violent means. He was murdered because an intolerant racist assassin wanted to quiet his words of peace. He was murdered because he attracted an international following of thousands who took comfort in his words and turned to him for leadership. King was not a black hero. He was a hero for everyone. He was a hero for the black population, who were segregated and given second-class rights, as well as a hero for whites who Wanted segregation and racism eliminated. His words set a precedence for peaceful yet persistent change for other groups of people in this country and around the world. Today, in Greenville, King should be a hero for people on both the "black end" of Fifth Street and the "white end The very fact that Fifth Street itself is so polarized is a testament that the societal issues which King addressed more than 30 years ago still persist. The government may not support segregation anymore, but people still make conscious decisions about where to live and who to associate with on the basis of race. Fifth Street, like many other streets and residential areas of cities across the country, is divided. Perhaps this is why other cities have named large boulevards and thoroughfares after King. It seems unfitting somehow to divide a street or to select a portion of a street which is associated, however unfortunately, with any specific population. At a city council meeting in April 1998, in which the vote was taken on the name change, a mother stood up to say she had tried to explain to her young daughter what King stood for and why he was an important man, worthy of the honor of having a street named after him. After the mother explained to her daughter about King's life and the civil rights movement, the daughter turned and asked her why he only got half a street. As the daughter grows older and hears racist remarks about areas like West Fifth Street and learns that many people still keep very close social circles, she will know why the street was divided. College students don't often think past graduation and career, but the day is coming when we, too, will have a child who is bom into this world pure, without any knowledge of racist attitudes or traditions. Citizens of Greenville, including ECU students, have a responsibility not to carry further the racist divisions that exist today. We believe King would have wanted a street like Fifth Street named for him. Because it runs past homes filled with white people, homes filled with black people, government buildings, a public university, a private Catholic school, black-owned businesses and white- owned businesses. If we can't agree to give all of Fifth Street to King, we need to find a street we can give. King does not deserve a street named in his honor simply because every other city already has one or because it is an easy political decision to make. Driving down old West Fifth Street and seeing the sign labeled Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Drive will never remind us of the tremendous contributions of a grea't leader or of how the civil rights movement affects us today. Instead, it will always remind us of how divided our own town is and of how far we still have to go. . ��. Two great Southerners not forgotten This past Monday we were able to commemorate the life and death of a great man, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. There were parades, festivals, TV shows and dedications made all around the country. There was even a new street named after him here in Greenville. This was a wonderful and an important day for all of us here for a plethora of reasons; one of them being that he, like so many of us here, was a proud ton of the South, and he made us all so proud by representing our geographical location so well. But lost in all this celebrating was the celebration of two other proud sons of the South that did so much for all of us. Monday was also Lee-Jackson Day, commemorating the lives of two of this country's finest gentlemen, Civil War generals Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson. For those of you who don't know, this has been a day celebrated long before MLK day here in the southern states. It is a day that honors two great men who wanted to do nothing more than make life better for all the citizens of the South. They fought to keep states' rights, which kept the national government from controlling and regulating everything we do in our respective states, principles that still stand today. Before anyone jumps to accuse Lee and Jackson of being flaming racist bigots that despise the American way as we've all come to know it, here are the facts. As soon as war was imminent, they released their slaves and ensured their safe passage out of the soon-to-be battle-trodden state of Virginia. Both men attended the United States Military Academy and were at the top of their respective classes, and they were heros during the Mexican-American War. In fact, General Lee was Lincoln's first choice as head Union general. I did not write to take away from MLK day, not by any means. I'm just asking you to help honor the memories of two great men. These men loved their country; they just fought for what they believed in, as many American heros before and after them have done. When it is all said and done, like King, they were good men - men who stood up for what they believed in. They had the highest moral standards, integrity and honor, and that's the stuff real heros are made of. Bryce R. Wagoner III . Junior Exercise Science Lf L sto �' i i rf immzM OPINION Marvelle Sullivan .� Columnist , Dishonesty taken hold on us The general and constant lack of honesty has taken a noticeable toll on society. Honesty. What a novel concept. Telling the truth and expecting to be told the truth are indeed laughable and random events these days. Honesty is now considered a mysterious virtue which can only be attained by astute discipline and rigorous soul-searching. Can anyone imagine that not too long ago it was deemed almost the barest minimum of common decency not to lie or variate the truth? Was it because people in general possessed a higher standard of morals and religious conviction? Or, was there just less temptation and therefore less of a reason to lie? To be sure, those aren't exactly questions wrenching the heart of most college students and spawning them into a hopeless intellectual crisis, but they are valid questions nonetheless. The general and constant lack of honesty has taken a noticeable toll on society. The most obvious example (of course) is the ClintonLewinsky fiasco. Basically, the whole chain of perplexing events boils down to the simple fact that a total disrespect and disregard for anything resembling honesty and truth has occurred and is continuing to take place at this very moment. What is really disheartening is that this scandal is evidence that politics imitate life (rather than life imitating politics). The president's actions are a mirror image of society, and the public wanting to excuse the president for lying is an attempt to justify what Americans do whenever they can. Politicians aren't the only dishonest people here. A recently conducted poll revealed that 30 percent of American married men believed that cheating on their wives was a natural and inevitable part of marriage. At first that statistic may seem humorous, but the realization of it shatters people's homes and lives, all for something deemed acceptable. The high percentage also conveys how far the fundamental facets of character and integrity have left society. This column isn't meant to be some diatribe or propaganda for the folks at the Religious Right or a self-righteous proclamation. Integrity and fairness should be sacred to everyone since the lack thereof facilitated the founding of this country and initiated some of the policies that have made thii country a pretty great place to live What has caused this shifting away from honesty? The primary source would be a concept of philosophy known as rclativismj which is the contention thai ultimate truth is hard, if not impossible to define. Therefore; what is right depends on tha person, time and situation (Clinton" completely subscribes to this reasoning). Simply put, relativism amounts to justifying and rationalizing every action an individual takes so that they can have some sense of inner peace. No one is ever held completely accountable because everyone has the opportunity to explain why what they did was "right at thej time Relativism is definitely noq all bad and thus has a lot of validity but it carries with it the fatal flaw of) most idealistic thought: human! nature. Admittedly, being honest is difficult, especially when everyone is fudging on everything from their, homework to the reason for thej hole in their apartment wall. The; problem is, the benefits of honesty (like a clear conscience and good karma) just don't seem to outweigh! the benefits of being less than! honest, and we all know what those benefits are. It's just one more of! life's perplexing ironies. OPINION Columnist Ryan Kennemur Predictions for judgement year Ryan Dogg mil win a Pulitzer for his dead-on, Nostradamus-ish predictions. Happy gnu yerr! As you can see, I did not git a spelle checkr fore x-mas. I did, however, get a nice guitar and amplifier. And perhaps the best present of all, the George Foreman Fat Reducing Grilling Machine! It's so choice. If you nave the means, I definitely recommend picking one up. But enough about me! Let's talk about something else for a change. By the time you read this, it will be 1999. Kind of hard to imagine, isn't it? Here we are, only a year away from what many people (religious people mostly) believe to be the judgment day, and yet we still have not found a way to coexist peacefully! "But who should we blame for this?" you may be asking yourself. Well, Bubba, as far as I can tell, nobody. Some might say Neil Diamond. Others say the smart money is on Stephen Kleinschmitt (I get bragging rights for first put- down of the year). The fact of the matter is, that as long, as we continue to live this way (the bombings, the killing of the innocent, etc.) we will never be able to achieve this great paradise. On that extent, let me make some predictions for this year of our lord, Nineteen Hundred and Ninety- Nine. l.The WB network will take note from the success of "Dawson's Creek" and drop its other shows, such as "Unhappily Ever After 'The Jamie Foxx Show and the cable ace award winning "Homeboys in Space The shows will be revamped into shows entitled "Dawson Ever After 'The Jamie Foxx Show featuring Pacey and "Homeboys in the Creek 2. Elizabeth Dole will be starting her run for the presidency, and this columnist thinks it's about time we had someone decent in the White House. The sad part is that the guy who should be president right now may have to settle for the First Lady position. 3. Alf Returns! 4.A new album by legendary '80s pop-punkers Blondie will come and go, and the Matchbox 20 album will continue its reign on the charts for the next 18 years. 5.Plucky Rap-person Sean "Puffy" Combs will start to run short of '80s songs to sample and will branch out into the bluegrass scene. His first single to be titled "Hillbilly got da Uzi" will feature a duet with Allison Krauss and the once-dead Notorious BIG. 6. Ryan-Dogg action figures will hit the toy rack and become the staple toy of the holiday season. Noting the lucrative sales figures, other Ryan-Dogg related toys shall be available, such as Tickle-Me Ryan-Dogg, Ryan- Dogg: Weak Bladder Edition and Ryan Dogg with Kung-Fu Grip, for those lonely nights. 7.Sadam Hussand, er, Husseion, uh, that guy that is in Iraq will go on television and tell the world that he likes to dress in women's clothing, upon which time he rips off his fatigues to reveal that he has been wearing a tight albeit sexy teddy throughout his entire political career. His popularity with the nation triples. H.Macintosh computers will begin their new line of commercials for the Imac, featuring both people that bought one last year. 9.Jason, the hockey-masked killer from the Friday the 13th films, will finallv die for good, or WILL HE? 10. Ryan Dogg will win a Pulitzer for his dead-on, Nostradamus-ish predictions. He will later sell it to buy something frivolous, such as Hawaii Well, that's about all this time. If I'm wrong, nevermind. If I'm right, you owe me half yout yearly wages. Sounds fair, I think. At any case, we'll just have to wait and see, provided we don't get nuked first by that guy over there in the desert.

Recycling program benefits campus Students encouraged to take part in process Phillip G ilk is STAFF WHITER Many ECU students pass by a white can on their way to class without giving it one thought. What they may not realize about that white trailer is that it saves the uni- versity over one million pounds in waste. According to the ECU recycling web site, "The goal of the ECU Recycling Program is to reduce waste and minimize the universi- ty's impact on local landfills ' The ECU Recycling Program, sponsored by the Office of Environmental Health and Safety, has been around since 1991. The program has taken many forms on campus. There are many recycling bins in every classroom building, including The School of Medicine. The trailer that serves as a collec- tion bin moves every two days from College Hill to Greene Hall and to the campus mall every week. Materials such as aluminum, paper, glass and plastic are recyclable 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 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 agen- cies 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, newspa- per) are accepted. A three man team goes around collecting these materials which account for 27 per- cent of ECU's waste. The teams are made up of staff, though work study students 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. include saving natural resources, energy and landfill space. Recycling also helps reduce the cost of trash disposal and raw prod- ucts. Pollution is also decreased as a A student throws her plastic trash into one of the many recycling bins on campus. FILE PHOTO 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 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 ECU recycle the material they use. Facility Services recycled 15,000 pounds of white goods last year, including such things as broken air conditioners, scrap metal and vari- ous 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. Materiels 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 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.

This club promises to be totally run by student members; all students are encouraged to join. A set of tiny footprints, or "a path of wellness will be visible in Mendenhall. This will lead to the meet- ing where refreshments will be served afterwards. This student wellness organization, which will soon be given a name by its members, will be coordinated by students from different health-related majors and non-majors. Some students have already been select- ed for this organization, but it is open to everyone. The sponsors for this club are Kari Brown, Laura Hartung and Heather Zophy, who all come from different well- ness related areas on campus. "It'll be exciting to see what direction the stu- dents take said Kari Brown, assistant director of fit- ness at Recreation Services. One purpose of this organization is for students to learn from one another about the different areas that wellness encompasses, including nutrition, fitness, exercise and disease. Another reason for the formation of this group is to replace the Peer Health Educators, who provided a student-oriented perspective for the campus on health issues. At the first meeting, leaders will be chosen and sur- veys will be filled out by the prospective members. The surveys will cover many issues and areas that stu- dents may want to learn about and promote on cam- pus. The purpose is to figure out what direction the club will take. "We'll be brainstorming about different issues across the campus including student dining, recre- ation, health, and many other areas Brown said. "We want to know student opinions about how to promote a healthy lifestyle and how to reach out to the campus said Laura Hartung, director of nutrition at Dining Services. The amount of wellness issues that concern college j� students are numerous. Fitness, nutrition and stress mi reduction are just some of the issues that this new 'ti group will be tackling. "There's been a variety of different strategies of lb health and wellness on campus said Heather Zophy, � director of health education at Health services. "We s5 want students to help students The first meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, Jan. n 27 at the Mendenhall Student Center Social Room at u 4 p.m. The agenda involves discussing where and t when students would like to meet regularly. "We want to bring enthusiasm and excitement iet about wellness to the campus Hartung said. I s �Co 4 Thi Em Carolinian 9 Thundiy.

Quantity Rights Reserved, www.winndixie.com I Stolen identity turns nightmarish ALBUQUERQUE (AP) � There's something about Meriyha she would like you to know. She is Meriyha McAfee, upstanding citi- zen, mother of two, hardworking employee, non-smoker and non- drinker. She is not Meriyha McAfee, crack addict, twice-accused felon, friend to a fugitive and perpetrator of an extensive array of traffic vio- lations. And she isn't the Meriyha McAfee whose arrest in a string of car-stereo thefts was in the news last month. But this is no split personality, no evil twin story. Meriyha McAfee says her iden- tity was stolen. Worse, she says, it was pilfered by a woman she once called her best friend. Now McAfee, like the growing number of people who discover that someone else is committing crimes in their name, helplessly watches as this case of mistaken identity steals her precious time and money and could eventually- rob her of her reputation, her job, her children and her freedom. "I can't go anywhere without worrying that she's done some- thing wrong but I get caught instead the 23-year-old Albuquerque woman said. "It's scary. I feel mad. I feel everything. I don't know what to do Officials of the Albuquerque police, Metro Court and district attorney's office say it's a problem that has increased substantially in the last two years. And it's one that's hard to fix. "Lots of criminals are doing it because it's so easy to do and so easy to get away with said Byron Samora, police detective. "There is no punishment Officials say McAfee's night- mare won't totally be resolved until her friend is arrested and identified under the correct name. There's no telling when that may happen. "Maybe the next time she might kill somebody said Irene McAfee of her daughter's sinister shadow. "Maybe my daughter will get the blame Readers first learned of Meriyha McAfee in a Nov. 17 story detailing her purported role as get- away driver for suspected car- stereo scofflaws who traded their booty for crack cocaine. Among McAfee's companions was a man identified as one of New Mexico's most wanted fugi- tives. The real McAfee said she knows the impostor. "She's been doing this to me for a long time McAfee said. Her criminal counterpart, she said, is a childhood friend who lost her way when she found crack cocaine. "I was going to lose my job because of all this McAfee said. "I had to explain everything The women were born two weeks apart in the same month, the same year. They had been ' neighbors as children. "We were best friends, friends since we were 5 McAfee said. "She sometimes lived with my family when we were growing up and she was having trouble at home. We were like sisters The two also shared a place together as young adults and raised children together, she said. The relationship began to crumble as the friend became increasingly imprisoned by drug addiction, McAfee said. "But we were still friends even though she was doing this to me without me knowingMcAfec said. McAfee said she didn't discover it until Sept. 8, 1997, when McAfee herself was cited for a minor traffic violation. "I called downtown to find out my court date and they tell me I have all these warrants McAfee said. Metro Court records indicate that a Meriyha McAfee was cited for 14 traffic violations � careless driving, no registration, no insur- ance, no driver's license, speeding and driving with an open contain- er, and others � on four occasions beginning in March 1997. Five of those violations became failure-to-appear citations when court dates went unheeded. "I had to go to each individual judge to get the charges all dropped she said. "It took me forever But she would again sec what her friend would do with her name, her record and her life. And this time it would be far more seri- ous than a traffic ticket. Bernalillo County sheriffs deputies arrested a woman June 18 on charges of auto theft and con- spiracy in connection with a stolen blue Chevy pickup. The woman gave her name as Meriyha McAfee. She was booked, fingerprinted and catalogued under McAfee's name into a national database known as the Automated Fingerprint Identification System, or AFIS. Those fingerprints forever entangled McAfee in the criminal- justice system. "When she was fingerprinted, she gave an alias that will remain a part of her life, regardless of what her real name is said Barbara Dominguez of the district attor- ney's office. McAfee said she learned of the auto theft from her friend's former husband. rl : "The Undefeated Best Ptcxc to Hear Live Musk in Grecm � Uptown Greenville ,209 E. 5th St. New entrance on 5th St. www.attic.niahtclub.com ATTIC NO l�gmdary Nightclub, Vofd0l atlCUand Top tOO Colhg tmn In tfiB Motion by Playboy magazine odobor 997 752-7303 Entertainment Complex ADV.

(AP) An angry mother thrust a bag of pen- nies at a principal after hearing her 14-year-old daughter could be penalized foowing 72 cents to a school library. "She was very upset and yelling at me quite loudly principal Bob Rosen saidShc pulled out a bag- gie full of pennies and just threw them at me and they went all over the floor and she left Denise Davenport of rural Oakland says her daughter was told she risked being unable to take a final examination because of the unpaid fine. The girl walked for a mile through snow Wednesday before a friend gave her a ride the final three miles home. Rosen said there was a miscom- municarjon. The girl could have taken the examination had she spo- ken to him rather than leave the building, he said. "It scared me that she started walking home in that weather her mother said. "That really scared me Davenport said she was "real- ly fric" by the thought that a child's schooling depended on a fee. "Public education is not free anymore she said. "You are always going to have to pay enroll- ment fees and in certain classes you have to buy things . A letter sent to parents Jan. 8 says obligations like library fines, unreturned athletic equipment and unserved detention must be resolved prior to final examinations. Students can reschedule an examination they were unable to take, the letter says, but failure to comply within the time allowed "may result in a failing grade The policy instills responsibil- ity in teen-agers, Rosen said. Lawyers for the state Department of Public Instruction said they knew of no law that dis- cusses denying access to examina- tions for unpaid fees. The legality on that is some- thing courts would have to decide department spokeswoman Debra Bougie said. The Wisconsin Supreme Court said in 1974 that public schools can charge book fees and make stu- dents pay for school items like paper, gymnasium towels andband instruments. The ruling involved a father of six who called textbook fees a denial of free public education. Davenport said her daughter learned of the 72-cent fine when paying an overdue $10 registration fee Wednesday. A school secretary told the child about the fine, Rosen said. "If she had known it was $10.72, she would have told me Davenport said. Case against squirrels won SHREWSBURY, England (AP) A vacationing couple whose house was trashed by a rampaging squirrel have won their battle to have their insurance company cover the more than $8,250 in damages. Saga Insurance originally told Desmond and Veronica Green that the squirrel, which was thought to have entered the house via the chimney, was classified as "ver- min" and thus not covered under their policy. But the company reconsidered after newspaper stories about the case, issuing a statement Thursday explaining that "Saga has never before encountered a claim involv- ing a rogue squirrel While the Greens were away from their home in Shropshire, west central England, in September, the squirrel broke a number of objects, damaged their carpets and gnawed at five win- dow frames that now must be replaced. It eventually was chased out of the house by a neighbor after it set off a burglar alarm. After builders complete the repairs to the house, Desmond Green, 71, said he would assign them one last task: squirrel-proof- ing. "I will get something put across the chimney to block it off he said. "I would do it myself tomorrow, but I'm too old For more info visit our website at, WWW.netmar.comuserselbo The Elbo is available for private parties Call 758-4591 or 752-4715 for available dates and times plus price packages The Elbo has been newly renovated Come sit down with your friends in our new Pub Room, Dance on the Raised Dance Floor, Experience the new light � and sound all for your Party Pleasure 21 and over Qm�&fe4foin and t 1. features Thi Ent Carolinian 11 Thuraday.

(AP) A man �nnot father any more children, unless he shows he can support seven children he has already fathered, a judge said in a ruling criticized by the American Civil Liberties Union Saturday. David Oakley, 32, has children ranging in age from one to 13. Over the years Oakley has failed to pay all or parts of court-ordered child support for their maintenance, authorities said. Oakley has a total of nine children, is divorced and also fathered children out of wed- lock, according to court documents. A sentence handed down against Oakley last week involved seven children fathered through four women, Manitowoc County Circuit Court Judge Fred Hazlewood said Saturday. Oakley pleaded no contest to three felony counts of failing to pay support as a repeat crim- inal offender. Four other counts were dismissed and read into the court record. Hazlewood last week ordered Oakley to spend up to three years in prison, consecutive to a three-year term he is serving from Sheboygan County for intimidating a witness. In addition, Hazlewood placed Oakley on pro- bation for five years. As a condition of probation, Hazlewood ordered Oakley to have no more children unless he can demonstrate he is meeting finan- cial obligations for his existing offspring. When , told of the probation condition Saturday, Chris Ahmuty, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Wisconsin, said it was "entirely inappropriate, because the right to make decisions about whether to have children is a fundamental right" "What's to say that the defendant in this case won't turn his life around and be able to support his children in the future Ahmuty said. "He shouldn't have to prove that to the judge before exercising a fundamental right" Oakley also must maintain a full-time job and comply with child-support orders, and spend an additional 90 days in jail. Hazlewood said Saturday he could not com- ment on the case because Oakley could file an appeal. "He could appeal the sentence. He could appeal conditions of probation Hazlewood said. "He can appeal almost everything BOOGIE HOG Come out ea�iy to cct a spot a f NEXT fTUESDAY Lmucnite COOL LINE 752.5855 easaRfcs LISTEN TO W2MB 91.3 THE ONLY REAL "NEW MUSIC" RADIO IN CREENVILLE.

A newly installed state-of-the-art lighting system and some talented additions to the Pirate roster give the '99 baseball season an exciting out- look. The tradition of eating Crackerjacks, joining in the seventh inning stretch and cheering on America's favorite pastime is strong in Greenville. Players and coaches are hoping the new lights and upcoming I night games at Harrington Field will , continue this tradition and bring even more fans out to support Pirate base- ball. "I think the new lights are excuing for the community as well as the team and we expect a lot of support said head coach Keith LeClair. "What bet- ' ter place to get together with friends and watch a great game than out in left field?" ECU players arc also excited with the lighting system and hope more fans will come out and enjoy the games while supporting a strong Pirate team. "I am very excited about the new lights and want to thank the program for getting them senior outfielder Steve Salargo said. "Night games really pull in the crowd The lights are not the only things making the '99 season look so bright. The Pirates have added depth and talent in all positions this season with a recruiting class ranked 34th in the 13 Tharsdi Pirate baseball players won't have to play with the sun in their faces anymore because of the new lights.

"We really fulfilled some needs from last season Both experienced transfer stu- dents and young-blooded freshmen players have come in this year to fill some very big shoes. They have been helped by the leadership qualities of some of the more seasoned Pirate team members. "The junior college guys really know how to play and will fill some key positions for us Salargo said. "The young guys are going to help out offensively and defensively The team's defense is like a brick wall and will be difficult for any team to go through or hit over. This defen- sive strength will be one of the Pirate's most dangerous weapons this season.

Also contributing for the Pirates 3U.il ry The web spun by the Richmond Spiders was just too tight for the Lady Pirates to escape in their third game within five days. The women's basket- ball team seems to contin- ue its up-and-down roller coaster ride with a 85-67 loss on Tuesday night against Richmond after it lost a tough match on Friday to No. 11 ranked Old Dominion and then bounced back to a 63-57 win over the rival Scahawks of UNC- Wilmington on Sunday. As for the Richmond game, the Pirates could not shut down the three- point arsenal set up by Heather Aleshire and Travece Turner who each nailed three bombs from the three-point line. The Spiders combined to hit 11-18 from the three-point line. Five of Richmond's players finished the game in double figures Throughout the ups and downs for ECU there has been one consistency, and that is Danielle Melvin. The Junior out of Roscboro has been on fire as of late and once again contributed her As for the Richmond scoring, CAA player of the week Mandy Hester led the Spiders with 17 points and Freshman point guard Michelle Koclanes had her own double-double by scoring 15 points and adding 12 assists. Up next for the Pirates is a road game at George Mason. GMU will bring on a 6-8 record (3-2) against the Pirate women. One woman to watch for GMU is Jen Surlas who aver- ages 13.6 points per game and more important- ly 19.4 against conference opponents.

This set a personal coaching record for men's head coach Joe Dooley, but additionally sealed the second loss for the George Mason Patriots. After a heartbreaking loss last week to Old Dominion, the Pirates bounced back to defeat the Patriots 60-58, who arrived at Minges Coliseum with the Colonial Athletics Association lead but left with their second straight loss in three nights. The victory put ECU back over .500 for the season. ECU (9-8,3-4) relied on their bench to step up and replace several key players on the injured list. Leading the way for the Pirates was David Taylor with 18 points and eight rebounds. "I think people are stepping up and playing more to their capabilities Taylor said. "I guess knowing how to lose has helped us to learn how to win The Pirate bench outscored George Mason's bench 22-9. Quincy Hall completed a 3- point play with 34 seconds left to regain a lead that the Pirates would not relinquish. "I had never been in a position to hit the game winning shot before Hall said. "I'm just glad that I made it and that I could help the team get the win Hall was the second leading scorer for the Pirates with 15 points in only 28 minutes of play. ECU was 10 for 14 from the chari- ty stripe with several clutch foul shots towards the end to seal the victory. The Pirates also had a suc- cessful defense with 19 turnovers that held George Mason scoreless for the final two minutes of the game. The Pirates unfortunately learned before the game that Steven Branch is out for the year with a severe knee injury. On a brighter side, Alphons Van Ierland returned from the injured list to see limited action. "I was impressed with the way Alphons (van Ierland) came head coach Joe Dooley said. "He'll have to work his way back slowly ECU faces one of their biggest rivalries Jan. 23 in Wilmington. "UNCW has a great team and it's a hard place to play Dooley said.

Last year's men's team dominated the CAA's sprint events, while the women were among the conference's most con- sistent teams. This season most of each team's talent is back and both teams are ready to improve on last year's successes and reach new, maybe higher heights again. The ECU men's track team had . � � i full oi good newsuuu bad news. Starting with the bad news, defending CAA 100-meter champ, Titus Haygood has left the team. "He withdrew from school for academic reasons. He was still eli- gible, but he felt he just needed a break said Bill Carson, head men's track coach. 'That hurt our 4x100 The track team also lost Chris Justice, who left ECU for Wake Forest and Tyrone Dozier, who headed to N.C. State to pursue ' engineering. For the good news, Damon Davis, an Ail-American sprinter for the Pirates in the Spring of 1997, also played tailback on the football team. In the tall of 1997 Davis decided to quit track and devote his time to football. Two years later, Davis has returned to the track. Also back with the track team are former sprint standout James Alexander and Lyn Stewart, who has been hampered by injuries but is now healthy. The team looks to Davis, Alexander and Stewart to fill the void left by the departures of Haygood, Justice and Dozier. "The additions of Damon Davis, a healthy Lyn Stewart and James Alexander returning to school gives us three people we didn't have. We also have some walk-ons who can give significant contributions, so we will be pretty deep Carson said. Despite the slight losses the team is still stacked with talent. Two-time defending Conference 200 and 400 Champion Darrick Ingram looks to team with Davis to make a dangerous one-two punch in the 400. Along with Ingram, the nuclei of the champion relay teams remain intact. Returning contribu- i. � include Koi Ibrahim, au, Monroe, Christia Rey and the Fuquay's Britt Cox. The team looks to improve on last year's third place finish in the conference and their sixth place finish in the IC4A. The women's team brings back most of the talent from last year's squad. The wealth of experienced talent on the team has head coach "Choo" Justice thinking big. "I think it's the best team we've ever had. We have as much if not more talent than we've ever had. We've got excellent leadership Justice said. "We've got several individuals who could break some school records The squad retains most of its CAA and ECAC Champion 4x100- meter relay team as well as the incomparable throwing tandem of Margaret Clayton and her older sis- ter Michelle. After being red-shirt- ed last year, Michelle Clayton returns as one of the country's best throwers. "Michelle is head and shoulders above everybody else and should have a big impact Justice said. Also returning are sprinters Rasheca Barrow, Kai Eason, Nicky Coins and Kiona Kirkpatrick. The Pirates also return hurdler Marshari Williams and the versatile Saundra Teel. Justice has big plans for this year's squad. "We hope to put it all together in March and have a shot at the conference and by May have a shot at being one of the five or ten top teams on the East Coast Justice said. He won't have to wait too long to see how his team stacks up against the best. This weekend the women's team and part of the men's team travel to Blacksburg, VA to the Virginia Tech Invitational ; i compete against some or the l- p teams in the country. "We are going to get stiff com- petition in the events we excel at from schools like South Carolina, Georgia Tech, Georgetown and Ohio State Carson said.

"We have good players in both the infield and the outfield Coach LeClair agrees that defense is the key and that the team must work together in order to be success- ful. "Our strong point is our defensive strength and offensively we are going to be a team that can score some runs LeClair said. "We must play well as a team; it's not going to come from any one individual This year's Pirate baseball team has worked hard to form a family atmosphere and all players seem to be focused on the goal of reaching the big game. That game is the NCAA Championship game in Omaha. "The team unity is really strong and everyone gets along really well Salargo said. "Everyone stays focused on the goal at hand to reach Omaha. There is a real positive atmosphere and I can't wait to start the season The schedule is much more dan- gerous this year. The Pirates will bat- de strong conference opponents like Old Dominion and Richmond. The team also has games against ACC rivals UNC-Chapel Hill and N.C. State which promise to be heated and exciting. The team's season opener will be on Feb. 12 in Charleston, S.C. at the Winn-Dixie Shootout. The new lights will be blazing all season as the Pirates have their first home game on Feb. 20 against Radford.

They were handed another tough loss by the Pirates to travel back to Charleston with an all-time record of 0-7 for both the men's and women's teams. The men's team won its fourth straight meet 142-93, without nationally ranked swimmer Adam Gaffcy. The women continued to roll this season with a 158-88 victo- ry, who won without having seven swimmers. The men won every event of the day except the 400-yard freestyle relay, which they swam as an exhibition. Leading the way for the Pirates (4-4, 0-4) were juniors Matt Jabs, Mike Julian and sopho- more Claes Lindgren, winning two events a piece. Leading the way for the men was Julian, swimming the second-fastest time of the year in the 1,000-yard freestyle (9:57.38) before going on to win the 500-yard freestyle. Jabs picked up wins in the 50-yard freestyle and the 100- yard freestyle. Lindgren finally won two events in the same meet for the first time in his short ECU career. He picked up victories in the 200-yard individual medley (1:58.06) and the 200-yard back- stroke (1:57.53). "We as a team were really tired coming off our training in Florida Julian said. "Coach pushed us a lot harder this year to get us ready for conference After losing the the first four meets of the year, the men seem to be having momentum going into the CAA Championship. "The team was really down on itself early in the year Lindgren said. "After winnipg at the Davidson meet, we started getting our confidence back. That win let us know we could win and has car- ried us to where we are now Richmond will be coming to town this weekend. The men hold a 22-0 all-time record over the Spiders. "Adam Gaffcy will be back this weekend said Rick Kobe, ECU swim coach. "He sat out this past weekend to rest a sore shoul- der. With him back, we should dominant this meet" The Lady Pirate swimmers improved to 7-1 (4-0 in CAA) with- out seven swimmers, including three CAA finalists from last year's team.
