JANUARY 28,1999 VOLUME 74, ISSUE 32 Support Professors write about impeachment given to disabled University improving support for handicapped Political scientists sources in Clinton proceeding K r i s t y Daniel STAFF WRITER Being away from home is a challenge, but imagine if that challenge was compounded with a disability. The university offers a great deal of sup- port and services to help in aiding these disabled students. Much of the support and aid comes from the Department for Disability Support Services. ECU is home to around 365 disabled students. According to Liz Shilliday, asso- ciate director for the Department for Disability Support Services, "It is not a requirement for the disabled students to let the university know they are disabled when enrolling. Therefore, we only know the number of students who are disabled that have come to us for support, and not the total number The Department for Disability Support Services offers services such as mobility training for the blind or visually impaired and interpreting services and Portable Telecommunication Devices for the deaf. Hearing impaired students are provided with sign language interpreters and the visually impaired are provided with things such as books on tape and items in larger print. In addition to Disability Support Services, the university also offers four handicap accessible dorms and six handi- cap accessible dining halls.

Dr. Tinsley Yarbrough has completed a manuscript for a book about Supreme Court Justice William Rchnquist, who will preside at the impeachment hearings. "I teach constitution law here and wrote the book because of a simple part of inter- est in the Supreme Court Dr. Yarbrough said. Although the book contains no informa- tion regarding the proceedings against Sororities go sober Panhellenic stops endorsing alcoholic events President Clinton, it does look at the Rehnquist court which is presiding over the hearings.

Renovations to many of the dorms and other campus buildings are underway to make ECU a more handicap accessible university. Beginning last year, ECU started to ren- ovate dorms and campus buildings by adding elevators. Jarvis Hall's renovations will start this year. Once renovations arc complete, Jarvis will be equipped with an elevator. According to Bruce Flye, director of Facilities Planning, Jones Hall is the next dorm in line to have an elevate installed. The Austin Building and Rawl Annex are two campus buildings that have recent- ly been under construction. ECU Transit has eight of their 18 busses available for the use of disabled stu- dents. They are equipped with lifts for access to the bus. "The last five busses we have bought have been accessible. When we replace the old buses with new ones, they will also be accessible said Joey Weathington, SEE DISABLED. PAGE 2 The ECU Panhellenic Council, the organization which governs campus sororities and fraternities, has passed a resolution to co-sponsor only events held on fraternity property that are alco- hol-free. This resolution is set to take effect in the fall of 2000. Amanda Garner, the Panhellenic president, said that she did not want the tragic events blamed on alcohol at other campuses to occur at here. "We hope this resolution will show the administration, faculty and students of this campus and other campuses that wc arc aware of the current issues involv- ing alcohol across the United States Garner said. Assistant Dean of Students Laura Sweet was delighted when the Council decided to pass the new resolution, origi- nally brought about by the students and voted on in mid-October. "I think that they will have activities at the Fraternity and Sorority Houses that will be much more wholesome Sweet said. ECU is the second school in the nation whose Panhellenic Council passed this measure. The university followed suit only a week after University of Florida at Gainesville passed a similar measure. The National Panhellenic Chairman has cited ECU as progressive in the com- bat against excessive alcohol use. In addition, Amanda Garner received a let- ter of commendation from the Chairman of the National Panhellenic Conference. Some members of Fraternities and Sororities feel differently and object to the resolution. "I hate to upset the administration but most incoming stu- dents are coming to ECU to have a good time. Let's be honest we're not at Harvard said Jeff Larson, senior, mem- ber of Sigma Phi Epsilon. "This will influence students negatively towards the Greek system. Numbers are decreas- ing gradually already. This will not sal- vage ECU or the Greek reputation. People have an idea of what ECU is all about, I say capitalize on the advantages of the school�the fun PHOTO BY MIKE JACOBSEN Internet sells students books Varsitybooks.com rivals book stores Amy Simpson staff whiter There seems to be some competition on the horizon for the ECU Dowdy Student Stores and the University Book Exchange (U.B.E). That competition is called VarsityBooks.com, a new college text-based bookstore on the Internet that provides an online option for buying text- books. That means that now there is an open mar- ket for textbook sales, whereas before there were only the two student stores. VarsityBooks.com offers prices as low as 15 percent to 40 percent below sug- gested retail price, a tempt- ing offer to economy-bound ECU students. Both U.B.E. and ECU Student Stores charge a 20 percent margin on all high enrollment text- books. Although VarsityBooks.com only offers new textbooks, its prices equal that of some of the used books at the uni- versity bookstores. In a comparison of the three- options offered to students at ECU, VarsirvBiKiks.com saved $30 after deducting shipping and handling. To access the catalog, students can go online to www.VarsityBooks.com and select ECU from the list of universities. Then they select the class and course number from the alphabetical list of depart- ments. Every once in a while thete may be a differ- ent edition, or paperback instead of hardcover. VarsityBooks.com replaces sales tax with ship- ping and handling charges. It is a relatively new entity, subsisting on credit card payments only, and not set up to p.ocess cash or check payments, making it difficult for those students on financial aid or scholar- ships. The ECU Dowdy Student Stores accepts everything except Discover and American Express. Moreover, U.B.E. is unable to take One-Cards and American Express. "1 don't feel it (VarsityBooks.com) is a problem as of right now, because the program is so new said Wanda Scarborough, director of the ECU Student Stores. So far VarsityBooks.com has made little if any differ- ence to the Student Stores sales. U.B.E. does not yet perceive VarsityBooks.com as a threat because the web- site does not sell used text- books. Several students at ECU think VarsityBooks.com sounds like a good idea, but they said they are still more likely to continue to shop at the university bookstores. "The long lines are a drag, but at least I am guar- anteed service freshman Kalcb Hobson said. VarsityBooks.com is not the only online service available. The Student Stores are teaming up with follett.com to offer more to the students at large. V Austin Bunch becomes Assistant to Chancellor.

Not only do these students deal constantly with new obstacles, but they must also stand with their heads up as some people stare and gawk quietly. While many of us concentrate on holding doors and other acts of pity for the disabled, TEC feels that we should put our attention toward improving facilities on campus. As we begin a three-part series covering the challenges faced by the handicapped and dealing with lack of facilities equipped to adequately meet their needs, the school has recently purchased a number of new buildings, trees, Sonic Plazas, as well as beautiful neon lights for the library, but wheel-chair-bound students still have to navigate around an obstacle course to get from the handicapped parking to a building's entrance, including our own Student Publications building. Areas such as College Hill, along with other dorms, are almost vacant of wheelchair- accessible areas. While their numbers may be smaller than other groups, the roughly 400 disabled students at this university face more disadvantages than most. In this technological age of advancement, and ECU one of the top 25 most wired college campuses around, it's ironic that many students cannot reach computer labs, such as the one in Aycock's basement, because of the stairs leading to the area. While the school has had many advancements in the past several years, still many changes need to be addressed. Many of these people are among the bravest most strong-willed people in the community, and to this TEC dedicates this series to those who have stood up in the face of adversity instead of quitting at the sight of obstacles. OPINION Ryan Kennemur Squirrel attacks helpless Ryan LETTER to the Editor Article missing important pieces Aww. He thinks my Adidas are a mate. How cute. There's something going on hereand I just can't figure out what it is. I'm going to let you guys in on a secret. I'm embarrassed to say it, but I just need to tell somebody. Okayhere goes, (deep breath) The other day, I was with a classmate of mine walking past Joyner Library (official motto: "You'll never find the entrance. Ha I la llaaah) It was a rather beautiful day in the neighborhood, and indeed a beautiful day for a neighbor. All of the beauty quickly ceased, however, when out of the blue a squirrel bum-rushed me. He was rtinning at top-crittcr-spced, and he stopped about two feet away from me. I looked at my classmate and said something like "I don't believe you've met my friend Mr. Fuzzy. Well, apparently Mr. Fuzzy didn't like his new nickname, and he pounced on my shoe. I, as a semi- normal person, began to sift through my internal brain files and look for any info for remedying a rabid squirrel attack. This took about 10 seconds, at which time my classmate told me to look at what the squirrel was doing. My idea that he hated me was proven completely false. Indeed, he really seemed to care for mc.or at least my footwear. My first thought was "Aww. He thinks my Adidas are a mate. Mow cute The first words to come from my mouth, however, were "Ewww Well what would you do, Bubba? I picked up my foot, but the squirrel's lust was stronger than mere gravity. 1 began to wave my foot back and forth, gently so as not to hurt the little booger, but it only seemed to make it worse. I was getting angry, and the little castaway was having the ride of his life. Finally, I decided to use a stick to pry him off my foot. There was only one thing more disgusting at that time than a squirrel trying to make love to my shoe, and that was a squirrel that succeeds in making love to me shoe. I got him off my foot and he scurried up a tree, no doubt to smoke a small pecan- flavored cigarette. We walked the rest of the way to Mendenhall in silence, just as I had hoped. The reason for my writing this is the simple fact that the weather is throwing everything off balance. There's something wrong when it's t-shirt and shorts weather in the middle of January, and there is really something wrong when the small woodland creatures go into heat three months early. And it's all due to this Global Warming Theory. My idea is that we should just forget about this theory all together. In fact, let's just not listen to any new theory that scientists throw at us. Think about it. Every time those white-coated people come up with a prediction for the future, such as the Greenhouse Effect, erosion of the beaches and holes in the Ozone, they always seem to come true! So my idea is.Jet's just not think about it If we don't think about it, maybe it won't happen! Just a thought. Well, I am getting sleepy. I think I'll go back to my bomb shelter, er, I mean my dorm room and take a nap. An article in the Dec. 8 edition of The East Carolinian entitled "Group combats drinking problem" contained some erroneous information that I would like to correct in this response. In March 1998 The Center for Counseling and Student Development hired a staff member who specializes in substance abuse counseling and prevention issues. The ankle incorrectly stated that ECU was "looking into the possibility" of doing so. This position has allowed the university to expand Its response to alcohol and other drug abuse. The article reported that "the number of drinkers at ECU is below the national standards A more accurate statement would read that the 1997 CORE survey demonstrated that alcohol consumption at ECU was very near the national norms. Even though our students' drinking behaviors reflect the fairly responsible patterns found at other universities, our group is looking for ways to address abusive drinking. We are interested in having students join IMPACT in this effort. Students may call 328-6661 to help. Bob Morphet Center for Counseling and Student Development OPINION Columnist Stephen Kleinschmit French too cozy with Iraq Write, cu Letter to tk& EcUtor Got something to say? Need somewhere to say it? Bring your letter to the easfearolinian located on the 2nd floor of The Student Publicatiqns Building No doubt when we took on Iraq in Desert Storm, coalition forces had to face Iraqis with the same equipment that the French had sold to them. I believe that the French are taking an anti-American and anti- NATO stance in some of their political and military aims. One of the most concerning aspects of their government is that they sell military weapons , to terrorist countries. Inl986theU.S.S.Stark,a U.S. Navy frigate, was severely damaged when an Iranian fighter bomber fired a French-made Exocet anti-ship missile at the Stark, killing several American sailors. France knowingly sold these powerful weapons to the enemy of its supposed ally, who if I remember correctly, saved them from certain extermination in WW2. That doesn't to seem to be very grateful response from a country who owes its entire existence to us. No doubt when we took on Iraq in Desert Storm, coalition forces had to face Iraqis with the same equipment that the French had sold to them. And no doubt at least several of the Americans shot down over Iraq and Kuwait were shot down with French missiles. This past December, during what has been humorously dubbed "Operation Desert Shield Me From Impeachment the only two countries who did not support the bombings were the former Soviet Union and France. This puzzles me. How can France expect global peace and tranquility if it sells weapons to terrorists and supports keeping a madman in charge of a doomsday arsenal of chemical weapons? I feel that we should put the same economic sanctions on France as we do on Cuba. I feel that such an ungrateful country should not be considered a friend if it does crap like this to all of its neighbors who are looking out for it.

Unsure about your major? Need to just lie down and vent your frustra- tions about college life to some- one? Don Joyner, Assistant Dean of Undergraduate Studies, can help students with those problems and others. He has worked at ECU for over twenty years and has helped many students find out who they are, what they want to be, and where they are going with their lives and careers. Upon entering Joyner's office, a comfy couch sits waiting for a student to stretch out on it and either complain about their hor- rendous schedules or to ask what they should be doing with their lives. "I want students to be comfort- able Joyner said. "They can just plop on the couch and I'll try to guide them through the maze that ta higher education Among his many duties, Joyner coordinates a seminar for freshmen, GOAD 1000. This seminar he assists first year students develop their academic skills, learning processes, career decision-making and personal attributes essential for student suc- cess. The course was real informa- tive said Jamie Newsom, an ECU sophomore. "The best part was getting to know Don "He taught stuff about school that you wouldn't normally learn. It was very helpful Newsom said. Joyner is also in charge of the Academic Intervention Program. Students who are in academic dif- ficulty, which includes students with a GPA under 2.0, go to a workshop to improve their skills. Over 1200 students came to Joyner's workshop during the first week of this semester. "I'm big on organizationJoyner said. "But the most important thing that I try to tell students is to go to class. Bad grades are usually accompanied by bad attendance There is also the Academic Difficulty Report Program which sends a survey to every professor who has at least one freshman (stu- dents who have under 32 hours) in their class. The definition of acad- emic difficulty includes poor test scores, unsatisfactory homework, and excessive absences. Even though students may not be doing well in their classes, Joyner tries to get students back on track. "I want to raise academic self- esteem in students Joyner said. "I try to teach students to take responsibility for their grades Joyner also teaches a free study Joyner works to help confused students through acedemic intervention.

This native of Henderson, a small town north of Raleigh, is a graduate of the ECU School of Business.

"We offer many alternative activities through the Adventure or swim 500 meters to participate in these activities.

"It's a really great program and I encourage everyone to sign up There are drawbacks to pro- grams that aren't filled. "If not enough students sign up for the big trips like skiing and snowboarding, the trips get can- celed said Zina Briley, student employee at SRC. One concern students may have about the programs are the safety factors involved. Are the programs safe for the students new to the activity? Yes, they are.

You don't have to be able to run a mile NEW YORK (AP) - Sonya Cruz and Estee Lee should have been able to see trouble coming. Instead, the women were arrest- ed Wednesday and charged with bilking thousands of dollars from clients in a fortune telling scam. The arrests are part of an ongo- ing crack down - dubbed "Operation Crystal Ball on for- tune tellers who tell customers they're cursed and that the evil spell can lie lifted with more visits and an extra fee, police said. Cruz and Lee allegedly told cus- tomers, who showed up for read- ings at their homes, that they were cursed or had other problems that required repeat visits. Investigators said that Cruz, also known as Signora Rita, had a for- tune telling show on the radio and also placed ads in a newspaper to attract clients. A sign outside her Baysidc home said she was a psy- chic reader. Meanwhile, Lee was welcoming customers to her $3,000-a-month apartment on Manhattan's Upper East Side. She had a "nice lifestyle said Deputy Inspector Robert A. Martin, commanding officer of the NYPD's Special Investigations Division. In some cases, the women allegedly charged customers more than $1,000 to remove a supposed curse or heal problems, such as a drunken husband, Mar n said at a news conference. Some people lost as much as $30,000 in three other cases of scam fortune tellers, said Lt. Robert Groth, commanding officer of the department's Special Fraud Squad. The women also allegedly charged customers for analyzing samples of bath water or dirt in an effort to find a cure for a supposed ailment, Groth said. Anonymous tips triggered the investigation, leading undercover cops to the women's homes, policfc said. Instead of having their palms read for a one-time fee, investiga- tors were told to come back for more. "Once you cross the line and tell people they are cursed and charge exorbitant fees it's ille- gal said Groth, explaining that at that point, it's no longer for "enter- tainment purposes Lee, 43, and Cruz, 34, wer charged with scheme to defraud, grand larceny and fortune telling They "never relieved any of the problems said Groth.

(AP) - A toy company here has a message for competitors in Texas and California: Don't mess with an Oregon bear. Purr-Fection by MJC, a family-owned business with a line of 289 stuffed animals, has hauled the companies to U.S. District Court to protect its copyright on Fudge Bear. Marty Castro Sr designer of the furry-faced toy, holds the copyright on various ver- sions of Fudge, which has fake mink fur, and on a related Ted E. Bear. The toys might be small, but the business is big: Castro says the company sells several million dol- lars' worth of cuddly critters each year. Now the company wants That's a Good Idea! in Canton, Texas, and JS Toys and Emily Toy Collection of Compton, Calif to stop making knock-offs of Fudge. MJC lawyers wrote to That's a Good Idea! telling them to stop selling the look-alike bears, but the Texas company "has willfully and deliberately ignored this notice the suit said. Meanwhile JS Toys has been making, importing and distributing the bears, according to the suit Lawyers say those companies should know the bears are under copyright because the bears have hang tags that say so. The suit, which was filed Thursday, says it is no accident that the That's a Good Idea! bears bear a strong resemblance to Fudge. The Texas company's Graze Bear and Papa Bear W. are "unaur thorized copies and 'knock-offs' of MJC's Fudge the court papers say. The suit also claims that That's a Good Idea! "purchased hundreds of MJC's Fudge bears" before making illegal copies. The Tualatin company wants an accounting of profits from the sale of any Fudge-like bears, and the award of triple damages to Castro of MJC, as well as unspecified puni- tive damages. It also asks the court to order the companies to destroy any bears in stock and recall them from stores; MJC also wants the companies ordered to stop all advertising, mar- keting and sales efforts that infringe on the copyright 2 Q- TkttMtCmlWw 7 Tundiy, Jinuaty 26. 1899 r stress. lers JY: acer or dirt in an e for a supposed 1 as triggered the ding undercover n's homes, police iving their palms le fee, investiga- come back for ;s the line and tell cursed and fees it's illc- explaining that at longer for "entef- s Cruz, 34, wet; leme to defraud, I fortune telling elieved any of the 3roth.

After such defeats as Richmond defeating the Pirates 97-145 and setting them back last year, the women won 154-91 to get some payback. "The women had lost the last two years to Richmond, including pretty badly last season, so we wanted to come out strong and show them who was the best said head coach Rick Kobe in a Sports Information interview.

Even down the stretch when the Pirates were forced to foul, it was UNC-W who hit 17-21 from the free throw line to put the nail in the coffin. Despite a late rally by the Pirates, ECU could not tame the Seahawks in the first contest of the season between the two rivals. ECU dropped to a record of 9-9 (3- 5) with the 70-59 loss. A packed house at Trask Coliseum was present to watch this heated game. The 6,100 fans saw a back and forth competition in the first half with each team taking its turn with the lead. In that first half the Pirates were able to shoot 55 percent from the floor, but that did not carry over to the second half. The win for the Seahawks was their eighth straight victory against ECU at Trask Coliseum. The bright spots for ECU were the plays of Garret Blackwelder and Brandon Hawkins. Blackwelder, a junior from Mount Olive N.C played all 40 minutes and scored 19 points by shooting 7- 17 for the game. The Morganton, NC freshman Brandon Hawkins had a hot hand in the second half and helped the Pirates rally late with his 12 points. "Our guards did some things well and I liked the way they played head coach Joe Dooley said. "The thing with having young guys on the court, especially on the road in a tough place to play, is they will do some good things and some bad ECU was hot late in the second half as they went on a 10-0 run that cut the lead to five with a huge three-point basket by another freshman, Kenyatta Brown. However, that would be the end of the ECU run and they did not pull any closer to the Seahawks. "We had some opportunities at the end that we just didn't convert on Dooley said. "We were down by just five at one point and didn't convert. We didn't do some of the things we needed to win. The other thing that hurt was we didn't get much production out of our big guys Coaches as well as players showed signs of frustration after the loss. "We are not where we want to be Blackwelder said at a press conference on Saturday. "We need to get better The Pirates will get a chance for some sweet revenge against the Seahawks when UNC-W comes to Greenville on Feb. 20 at Minges Coliseum. Up next for ECU will be yet another chance for some revenge against William & Mary who defeated the Pirates 69-66 on Jan. 16. ECU will definitely want to improve on their shooting. The Pirates combined for 38 percent from the floor in the match up on January 16. Also on that day, William and Mary's Randy Bracy, last year's scoring leader in the CAA, scored a game-high 24 points. The Pirates will have to stop Bracy and the rest of the Tribe in order to split the season in wins between the two teams.

The women traveled to Blacksburg, VA for the Virginia Tech Invitational, where the Lady Pirates were pitted against many of the country's top track pro- grams. "The meet was very competi- tive. All of the top teams on the East Coast were there said Charles "Choo" Justice, head women's track coach . "We did very well. This is as well as we have performed this early in the season ever The Pirates were led by the unmatched Clayton, who set a new school record in the weight throw with a toss of 59'8 14 The throw also established a new NCAA provisional qualifying mark for the senior. Clayton placed third in the event, the highest finish among the college competitors. First and second place were taken by professional throwers.

SEE TRACK PAGE 10 Countless Super Bowl parties soon to begin MIAMI (AP) The image is frightening: sports writers stoked on free beer dancing to the music of Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. It could only happen at the Super Bowl. The Daddies will perform for the media Tuesday at one of the countless parties leading up to Sunday's game. Some 150,000 people are coming to town, and most hotels are requiring a four- night minimum stay, which means plenty of time to kill before kick- off. The result is a week long exer- cise in excess. No one's complain- ing' ' "There's so much going on said Alex Munoz, executive direc- tor of the South Florida Super Bowl Host Committee. "You can go to a Super Bowl, not go to the game and still have a great time Since Pro Player Stadium's capacity is 75,000, many visitors obviously are making the trip for reasons other than attend- ing the Denver-Atlanta game. "You don't want to go through life drunk, fat and stupid said Jeff DeForrest, a local radio talk- show host. "But if you do, Super Bowl week is the way to do it DeForrest has survived a dozen Super Bowls, but this one might be his toughest test yet. For starters, there's not one media party, but two. They're sanctioned by the host committee, as are a cook-off for charity with top chefs from NFL cities show- casing regional cuisine, and a three-day beach party held by the NFL Players Association. The bash on the beach is expected to attract many former and cuHrent. players. "Not all of these guys get tick- ets to the game, and there are a lot of them in town Munoz said. "They'll go there and hang out and watch the game There are also concerts and VIP gatherings, as well as countless parties not considered official events. "I heard rumors that Michael Jordan is throwing a party Munoz said, "and Deion Sanders is having The biggest bash is the only one hosted by the league - the annual commissioner's party. Invitations are free but limited, and one broker is selling them for $850 apiece. Some 5,000 of Commissioner Paul Tagliabue's closest friends - the media, employees of NFL teams and other guests - will attend the soiree Friday at the Miami Beach Convention Center. The event requires 154,000 square feet of floor space, the equivalent of eight football fields. "We put an equal emphasis on three elements: decor, food and entertainment said Sue Robichek, who is planning her fourth commissioner's party. "This year it's an undersea adventure to exotic shores. We'll have three stages of simultaneous entertain- ment plus smaller stages with live music The media party featuring Big Bad Voodoo Daddy also includes ice skating in a downtown Miami park. Munoz declined to reveal how he'll produce an ice rink in 80-degree weather. On Sunday, the action moves to Pro Player Stadium. Major corpo- rations such as Coca-Cola, General Electric and Toyota will host par- ties before and after the game in a corporate village that includes 20 tents. "Each one has a different theme, from Key West to Palm Beach, to depict the area said Barton G.

And it was only a third-round women's doublesmatch. One of the players was glam- orous Russian 17-year-old Anna Koumikova, but for a change she wasn't the star of the show. Even her double faults weren't remarkable as she and 18-year-old Martina Hingis, the two-time defending Australian Open singles champion, beat veterans Monica Seles, a four-time singles winner here, and Jana Novotna, who has won a total of 73 doubles titles on the women's tour. With Hingis as the anchor, the youngsters prevailed 7-6(11-9), 6-3 Sunday, and the cheers were divid- ed among the four, players. In her singles matches here, Koumikova has received thump- ing, roaring, whistling support from capacity crowds - despite double faulting 31 times while beating 'apan's Miho Saeki in the second ound and 14 times in defeating Germany's Andrea Glass in the third. Her fans also have lustily cheered her opponents' misses, but that wasn't the case Sunday as spectators shouted, "Go, Monica and "Come on, Jana She served only four double faults Sunday, but held service only once in five games. Double faults, two each, were the problem in two games. In another, she missed an overhead and Hingis netted a vol- ley on the crucial points. Then win- ners by Seles and Novotna did her in. But Seles, the only one of the four who didn't serve and volley, dropped serve four times, and Novotna three times. The 30-year-old Novotna hit � few brilliant shots, but also suffered a continuation of the errors that plagued her in a 6-3, 6-0 third- round singles loss to Spain's Maria Antonia Sanchez Lorenzo. In the quarterfinals, Hingis and Koumikova meet American Nicole Arendt and Dutch player Manon Bollegraf. V HEY! Confused about Career Choices? Love Working in the Lab? Already Have CHEM 1150, 1160?

"He led the race until the last three meters. He just used himself so much. If he had been in lane five he would have won Davis wound up 10th overall. Behind Davis was freshman Lawrence Ward who placed 15th. Ward was the second fastest fresh- man at the meet. He finished ahead of many, more sought-after freshmen, and demonstrated his extreme talent in the quarter-milers. ECU'S depth in the 400 did not go unnoticed by their competitors. "We have talent in the quarter Carson said. "We have six talented quarter-milers. Some of the other coaches there came up to us and said "Man, you guys have got some horses The Pirates showed their depth in the 400 by placing second in the 4x400 meter relay. ECU placed first among college teams, beaten only by a team of professional run- ners. Despite their success in the 400, the Pirates were not yet at their best in many events. The squad that went to Maryland- Eastern Shore had a more disap- pointing meet except for some strong performances by the Pirates' distance runners. This slow start may be attributed to the lack of an indoor practice facility on campus. "Wc don't have the conditioning of the teams that have indoor tracks. When the weather gets cold, they can still train but we have to pull back Carson said. But even without the indoor track, the team can still work to improve for future meets. "What we've got to do is devel- op some depth Carson said. "The kids we sent to Maryland-Eastern Shore.
