African-American students often feel invisible on campus
Blacks say campus attitude
often one of indifference
Editor's Note: This article is the
first of an ongoing look at race relations
at ECU.
Tommy Yakborough
STAFF WRITER
ECU has made great strides toward draw-
ing more black students to campus.
In a recent article concerning race rela-
tions in the "Daily Reflector some blacks
feel they are invisible at ECl

(African-American) students said gradu-

manager goes to trial
ate student Adrian Cox. "But, they've got
to go further than just getting numbers
Since 1963, when Laura Marie Leary
became the first African-American student
enrolled full time at ECU, the ranks have
expanded to a 1998 enrollment of 2,160
which is about 12 percent of the student
body.
Brian Haynes, assistant vice chancellor
for Student Life and director of Minority
Student Affairs, said there are about 17 uni-
versity-recognized organizations geared
toward black students.
"That number has dramatically
increased over the past few years Haynes
said.
But, according to some blacks, that is not
enough.
"From my perspective, I think that the
climate is one of a bit of indifference Cox
said, noting that his observation applies to
both black students and the university offi-
cials.
Rushane Jones, a junior studying politi-
cal science, says he came to ECU from a
mostly white high school, so he was accus-
tomed to being the minority in a class of,
say 30 students. Jones said that this is
also the case in many classes at ECU.
But for black students who come
from high schools where the racial mix is
more even, ECU can be quite over-
whelming.
"They don't know how to take it
Jones said. "We lose a lot of them that
way
Cox suggests that, left to their own
devices, students from different ethnic
and racial backgrounds "self-segregate
driven by a natural need to gravitate to
those people who look like them.
English professor Reginald Watson
points out what he considers one of the
main problems on campus.
"Number one, minority faculty he
said, citing the disproportionate num-
ber of black students to African-American
faculty members.
In the fall of 1997, when black students
made up nearly 12 percent of the student

body, black faculty members accounted for
40 teachers, not quite 3.5 percent of the full
and part-time faculty roster.
"So there is a lack of what you might call
role models Watson said.
"The reason for more faculty
members he said, echoing Cox's
remarks, "is that students want to
search out someone who looks like
them
That becomes especially true
when students might be facing
their first time away from home in a
potentially high-pressure environ-
ment, Watson said.
"ECU needs to have more activ-
ities that integrate more segments
of the population on campus said
Watson. "That way, you have more
interaction

Former ECU Playhouse manager
Gary Faircloth is prepared to go to
trial Feb. 22 for the embezzlement
charges brought against him last
June.
Faircloth, an employee of the
university since 1987, pleaded not
guilty on four felony counts of
embezzlement and one count of
forgery related to the embezzle-
ment of funds from the East
Carolina Theater Fund.
Faircloth's court date was set
during his arraignment in the Pitt
County Superior Court.
Faircloth, 47, is accused of
embezzling over $23,000 from the
fund and was fired from the uni-
versity on July 31.
According to reports, ECU
closed the theater foundation
account and transferred the
remaining balance of approximate-
ly $70,000 to its main fund raising
arm, the ECU Foundation, when
suspicions arose.
According to Ben Irons, attor-
ney for ECU, all evidence regard-
ing the case has been handed over
to the SBI.
"I am not actively involved
with the case, but the district attor-
neys office is working with the SBI
and the prosecution on the case
Irons said.
SBI agents filed the charges
after an ECU probe discovered
differences in the foundation's
books.
Faircloth's replacement, Jeffrey
Woodruff, managing director of
the East Carolina Playhouse, said
he came after Faircloth was gone.
He is no way involved in what is
going on with the case and
Faircloth only knows what he has
heard and read in the paper.
In addition to pleading not
guilty, Faircloth waived a probable
cause hearing and denied accusa-
tions and charges against him.
Preacher's annual visit sparks heated debates
Birdsong's insists
enrage students
Erica S i k e s
STAFF WRITER
The mall preacher Gary Birdsong came
again this year to speak to a full crowd of
enraged and inspired spectators.
On Feb. 11, 1999, students gathered
around to carry on the spring tradition. Gary
Birdsong, an annual visitor of ECU could be
found on the mall with a crowd surrounding
him.
Many witnesses to Birdsong's testimony
and evangelism have seen a handful of out-
rageous accusations and judgments. When
junior Michael Smith inquired about
Birdsong's credentials, he replied that he
was a graduate of Christ to the Nations Bible
College in Dallas, Texas. Birdsong has no
official ministerial certification and is non-
denominational. He specializes in campus
ministry.
ECU is one of the top schools on
Birdsong's list to reform because of its party-
school reputation. However, that was not his
only pet peeve. He adamantly protested
many touchy subjects including abortion,
homosexuality and interracial marriages.
"I don't think it's wise Birdsong said
when asked his opinion on interracial dating.
He claims that it causes confusion within
the family, thus disrupting the balanced
structure of the family.
Birdsong proceeded to give his advice by
declaring that women should be subservient
to their husbands.
When attacked by the female crowd,
Birdsong replied, "When you meet a man
like mc, you'll want to submit also
Birdsong also believes that a true
Christian should be intolerant to homosexu-
als, non-Christians and "those who sit in
hell's fire
One of Birdsong's main doctrines is that it
is man's duty to make righteous judgments.
According to Internet research on the
Satanic Bible, it is one of the satanic com-
mandments to judge.
Birdsong's theories also include areas as
far-fetched as the decline of males' grades is
as a result of masturbation. He is also quick
to denounce the females standing in the
crowd wearing shorts and tank tops.
"Women are emotional and will believe
anything Birdsong said. "All they do is nag,
"Women are emotional and will
believe anything. All they do is nag,

Carrie Thornton, an elementary educa-
tion major quickly refuted Birdsong's
preaching.
In defense of the students at ECU,
Thornton said, "God is a God of wrath, but
God is a God of love. God doesn't want his
word screamed at his people, he wants it pre-
sented with love
When asked if he would be returning to
ECU, Birdsong's response was "I'm going
back to Chapel Hill. That's where the
queers are

Once again Coca-Cola and
Pepsi are at war, but this
time it's for an exclusive
high school agreement.
The Pitt County Board
of Education voted to set
up a pilot program in six schools to
test three soft drink vendors. Pepsi,
Coca-Cola and Dennis Foods will
compete to see which one earns the
most money.
For the past year, the school
board has been exploring whether
an exclusive agreement with one
vendor or a competitive market
would better serve the county's
19,600 students.
"The success of failure of the
pilot project will determine the
next step the school board will
take said Public Information's
Officer
P
Barry Gaskins.
In November, representatives
of Coke, Pepsi and Dennis Foods
went before the school board's
Finance Committee to pitch the
merits of an exclusive contract with
their companies.
After hearing from each compa-
ny, the committee discussed the
idea of establishing test runs in a
few schools to measure each ven-
dor's performance. The committee
recommended to a full board on

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) � The

that it could attack American and

"We, by help from God and

ous Arab nation including true and
sincere nationals in Saudi Arabia
and Kuwait have the ability to

Iraqi television said, quoting a

The statement came amid a
simmering war of nerves with the
United States and Britain over "no-

southern Iraq.

alienate themselves. What else can
the university do to integrate the

who are in college, with the excep-
tion of some inner-city kids, had to
except being a minority throughout
their scholastic careers, so why do
they think that college will be any

February 8, that the three soft
drink handlers each try out their
products at one high school and an
accompanying middle school,
allowing equal competition among
the companies.
According to Public Information
Officer Barry Gaskins, the test will
determine factors such as commis-
sion rates, profit margins, customer
satisfaction, the mechanics of
vending machine placement and
accessibility.
After receiving the OK from the
school board the internal soft drink
committee will now develop a plan
for the pilot program. Members of
the committee include high school
and middle school principals, ath-
letic directors as well as child nutri-
tion specialists. The parameters of
the test, including the number of
be decided by the committee.
The pilot probably will not be
launched until next school year in
the fall due to time restraints. So
far Dennis Food is the only one of
three vendors that has agreed to
participate in the program.
Manager of Coca-Cola of
Greenville's cold drink division,
Mike Langley, delivered a 50-page
report to the finance committee in
Nov. The report outlined his
framework for a "partnership"
between the company and the
school system. The bottom line of
the proposal held more than
$190,000 in cash profits and ser-
vices for the schools.
Vice President of sales and mar-
keting for Pepsi-Cola Bottling Co.
of Greenville, Steve Crouch, did
not bring bottom-line price quotes
to the meeting.
Owner of Dennis Foods in
Virginia, Dave Dennis, laid out a
plan that he projected would bring
more than $225,000 to the schools
through the sale of soft drinks
alone. Dennis offered to provide
not only his products, but also
Coke and Pepsi, in his deal.
"This pilot is definitely a way to
generate revenue for the schools
said Gaskins.

Clinton rebuilds after impeachment
WASHINGTON (AP) � After a
year of scandal and shame,
President Bill Clinton now must
try to rebuild his tarnished presi-
dency. Surprisingly, he may discov-
er some unlikely allies among the
Republicans who tried to force htm
from office.
No matter what, Clinton will go
into the history books with the
humiliating distinction of being
only the second president ever
impeached. His challenge is to
make historians write in the next
paragraph that he was a successful
president nevertheless.
Republicans are in trouble, too.
Their zest for impeachment back-
fired and angered voters, who con-
cluded they were more interested
in lynching Clinton than in fixing
Social Security and heath care.
Republicans sagged in the polls as
Clinton soared.
Clinton and his Republican
adversaries share a common need
to convince voters that they can get
things done. The president wants
to repair his legacy; the
Republicans want to save their
political skins. Both sides are
angling for advantage in the 2000
elections.
"The Republicans ate a des-
perate for success as Bill Clinton
is said Democratic consultant
Dane Strother.
"Is there going to be personal
affection? No said Ralph Reed, a
Republican strategist. "Is there
going to be a mutual institutional
desire to get something done to
save themselves in 2000? Yes.
Clinton doesn't want to lose the
White House, and the Republicans
don't want to lose the Congress.
They're more apt to lose if they get
nothing done

We find it ironic that the Millennium Bug may come to bite the technological world in its
proverbial ass.
With the advances of technology and the Internet over the past ten years it is difficult to
imagine a world void of these conveniences. Yet according to many information technology
specialists the Y2K problem could cause serious inconveniences to businesses, industries and
our day-to-day lives. Despite the fact that information technology experts realized the Year
2000 problem was imminent over ten years ago, it is now 10 months until the year 2000 and
many have just begun to prepare for problems. Whether you believe the Millennium Bug will
bring an end to the world as we know it or that it will cause a mere hiccup, everyone should
use this as a lesson for the new millennium.
When the Internet is old hat the new millennium will be serving up more outrageous
advances like gene therapy, cloning and cryogenics (the practice of freezing a dead diseased
human in hopes restoring life at some future time when a cure for the disease could possibly
be found.) It is imperative that as we experiment we also think of the long term consequences
and potential pitfalls of our technological inventions.
This century, the Millennium Bug and all its problems was caused by a simple oversight in
setting the dates of computers. If we do not mix caution with our experimentation the next
a
p century could bring even worse problems. A simple oversight in computers is one thing, an
i
"oversight" in someone's genes is a different ball game. If we do not learn to plan better, imag-

Preacher battles students
, say to you boy, let's
go look at some Playboys,
and drink some beers, and
later we '11 go out and chase
some women
Well once again, ECU has allowed
a loud mouth, hell fire and brim-
stone preacher to come and raise a
ruckus on the Mall of our great
university. I had a great time mess-
ing with this guy, and I am sure a
few of you did too. Here are some
of the highlights of this past
Thursday's shenanigans.
I was walking to class
when I first noticed him bad
mouthing some guy. Then he stut-
tered to me "I, I, I say to you boy,
let's go look at some Playboys, and
drink some beers, and later we'll
go out and chase some women
And I gave an obligatory "Amen"
just to spite him. That's when he
started screaming something
about fornicating and burning in
hell and blah, blah, blah. I saw lips
moving, but I really couldn't hear
anything.
Again, later that day, I
decided to go back to the mall and
see everybody else mess with the
guy. The funniest thing was that
about 20 people would all scream
at this guy, and people would sit
there and raise their hands waiting
to be recognized, like they were in
class or something.
I had to throw in my 10 cents
worth, and of course I sank to his
level by engaging him with Jim
Jones survivalist jokes about
drinking cyanide-laced Kool Aid
to escape from all the black CIA
helicopters that arc carrying
cocaine for the Mob.
But the hardest thing to
accept is that this guy did his job.
Just as any writer can elicit a great
response by writing on a hot sub-
ject, this guy was able to heat peo-
ple up, and they we.it around the
rest of the day pissed off at how
A)
someone could be so hateful. This
is how he operates. You may not
understand it when you're sitting
there screaming it out with the
guy, but if you arc like me, you
went home that night and might
have agreed with something the
guy said.
Case in point. Abortion is
a emotionally and physically
painful procedure. Nobody wakes
up one day and says "Oh goody,
I'm having an abortion But yet,
people would argue with this guy
over abortion, and make it seem
like it's better than winning the
lottery. I don't approve of the way
in which he delivers his message,
but I agree with the message.
Maybe the reason that we
avoid people like him is not
because we ate too good for him,
but because we are not good
enough. College students stray
from our religious upbringing and
our sense of decency and morality,
and just roll with the crowd. We
are not good enough to hold on to
our beliefs, so we criticize anyone
who reminds us of our shortcom-
ings. Hey, I admit it, I hate being
wrong.

OPINION
Impeachment views across the nation
From the Asbury Park (N.J.) Press:
After his acquittal yesterday, President Clinton
asked people to forgive him Perhaps eventually
some, who opposed his removal from office while
holding their noses, might.For those whose hatred
goes back to the draft and not inhaling, Clinton's
only hope would be to believe in miracles.
As for Ken Starr, Linda Tripp, Henry Hyde and
company, there are three words of wisdom to which
all those who hold them in low esteem should
adhere: If you can't say anything nice about som-
body, don't say anything at all.
From The Dallas Morning News:
The U.S. Senate's gathering at noon Friday lacked
the dramatic suspense that surrounded Andrew
Johnson's narrow escape from impeachment in
1868. There were clear signs all week that the
Senate would not remove President William
Jefferson Clinton from office on grounds of perjury
and obstruction of justice. Perhaps the only surprise
was that neither charge gained a majority of guilty
votes.
Still, when high noon arrived, and the chief jus-
tice of the United States asked in a solemn voice,
"Senators, how say you the hushed chamber
showed the gravity of the vote ahead.
That solemnity and order Friday should help
Americans feel proud of their country, despite the
ugly matters that brought the vote. This nation
relies upon process, not bayonets, to resolve its con-
flicts.
From the Detroit Free Press:
And now it's Kenneth Starr's turn. Between the
philandering president and the obsessed prosecu-
tor, it is the prosecutor who has been the greater
threat to the values of the republic.
Now it's time to shut down the inquisition,
write finis to the tawdry drama, and send Starr
himself back into the private sector, where he can
console himself with million-dollar fees from the
clients and associates who have long hoped he
could bring down Bill Clinton. It does not excuse
Clinton to say that Starr has been the prosecutor of
thoughtful jurists' nightmares. Back in 1940, con-
servative Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson
issued the classic warning against the rogue prose-
cutor "who will pick people that he thinks he
should get, rather than cases that need to be pros-
ecuted who would search the lawbooks or set the
bloodhounds sniffing to find any offense, no mat-
ter how technical or trivial, to pin on his target.
Jackson could hardly have described Starr better.

Swing dancing gains
popularity on campus
Freshmen Mary Beth Webster and Blake Braswell dance the night away at the Methodist Center every Tuesday night.

FEATURES EDITOR
The new rave that has been sweep-
ing the nation in commercials and
music videos has finally reached
ECU. Swing dancing is here. Fear
not if you do not know how to
swing because lessons are given at
the Wesley Foundation by Rev.
Scott Wilkinson.
Wilkinson considers himself to
be very much into swing, and when
he came to ECU last summer, he
began inquiring about it.
"I was used to going to swing
dances nearly every weekend in
either Durham or Greensboro
Wilkinson said. "I couldn't find
anything here in Greenville, yet
everybody seemed really interest-
ed '
It just so happened that the one
of the rooms at the Wesley
Foundation had a large dance floor
area, and Wilkinson decided to give
lessons himself.
"Since I am a slow learner in
dance, I am a good teacher
Wilkinson said. "I teach the dance
steps slowly and make sure stu-
dents are comfortable. When peo-
ple leave my class, they know how
to swing
According to Wilkinson, 50 stu-
dents showed up the first night last
semester and the Wesley
Foundation has been swinging ever
since.
During the late 1920s, swing
dancing began in the ballrooms as a
spin off of the popular dance, the
Charleston, in I larlem, New York.
As this new, yet no named dance
continued to grow in popularity, a
New York Times reporter went to
the Savoy Ballroom to sec what all
of the fuss was about. Mind you,
this was the same time that Charles
Lindbergh took his historic flight
over the Atlantic. When the
reporter asked the kids the name of
this new dance, one of them,
remembering the headline of the
paper that morning entitled, 'Lindy
Hops Atlantic called out, "Why,
it's the Lindy Hop
The name stuck and throughout
"It's a nice environment where
you don't have to worry about
impressing other people like at

Sophomore
the years it began to branch off into
other dances such as the East Coast
Swing (better known as the
Jitterbug) and Shag.
In the 1950s, bebop and rock
became the new fad and swing
music and the dancing faded out.
In the 1980s, swing dancing
resurfaced in Europe when dancers
saw the movie, Animal Crackers,
where the actors were doing the
Lindy Hop. The Europeans con-
tacted the United States in hopes of
finding people who remembered
the dance and came up with
Frankie Manning, one of the origi-
nal dancers in the movie. From
there, Manning began traveling all
over the world holding swing dance
workshops and participating in the
rebirth of swing.
"I took a workshop with
Manning last year in Durham
Wilkinson said. "He sees his mis-
sion as almost spiritual
Wilkinson recently conducted
his own swing workshop at a
national student conference for col-
lege students from all around the
US.
"The students talked about dif-
ferent swing clubs around their uni-
versities Wilkinson said.
According to Wilkinson, college
students are becoming very inter-
ested in swing dancing.
"It seems as if students are tired
of modern dancing and jumping
around Wilkinson said. "Swing
has technical moves you do with a
partner, and you actually dance
"It's hard to dance when you are
at the club said junior Lorainc
Helms. "There's no actual tech-
nique like in swing dancing
"There's other places that teach
swing for $20 an hour, but here it's
free for anyone said junior Jaime
Wilkins.
"It's a nice environment where
you don't have to worry about
impressing other people like at a
club said sophomore Bryan Jarvis.
"Everyone is clean and sober�it's
an enjoyable thing to do
Beginning lessons are offered
every Tuesday night at 7:30 p.m.
followed by intermediate lessons
for those looking for more of a chal-
lenge at 8:30 p.m. at the Wesley
Foundation. For more information

Students participate in
campus exchange program
Study abroad
opportunities abound
Erica Sikes
staff writer
Imagine yourself in a whole new
world with new faces, beautiful
places and exotic sceneries. ECU
has made this possible for students
to study in other countries through
the International Studies Program.
"ECU has provided various
opportunities to students for the
last 25 years said Linda
McGowan, oversees opportunities
coordinator.
According to McGowan, approx-
imately 30-35 students participate
in the ECU exchanges each year.
Some go for one semester while
others go for the full year.
A lot of preparation goes into
studying abroad. McGowan
encourages students to begin the
thought process at least eight to
nine months in advanced.
Once it has been decided that
the student is ready to go abroad,
McGowan holds information and
advising sessions.
"I explain the options students
have when they study, work and
travel abroad McGowan said. "I
also spend time with students in
the application process
Through the exchange program,
students do not have to worry about
extravagant tuition fees. Studying
in another country is the same
amount as studying here at ECU.
"Participating in the exchange
program gives students a different
view of the world McGowan said.
"It also allows students to look at
their own country in a different per-
spective.
Samantha Dunn, an English
major, received the opportunity to
study abroad at the Manchester
University in England. She was ini-
tially introduced to International
Studies when her older sister par-
ticipated in the program. According
to Dunn, her experiences there
were very interesting.
The major language differences
that she encountered were found
primarily in the British slang.
"Their slang words were quite
different than ours Dunn said.
For instance, when the British
say that a man was 'pissed they
mean he was intoxicated.
A few other cultural diversities
from the American way of life that
Dunn recognized were in the edu-
cational system.
'The classes were very differ-
ent Dunn said. "I only went to
class on Mondays and Tuesdays
and had the rest of the week to
myself
Although Dunn only attended
one semester, she was able to inter-
act with students of other cultures
as well as the British. Her three
roommates were German, Polish
and African.
When asked if they would opt to
study abroad, the opinions of stu-
dents varied.
"It would be weird being in a
strange place where I wouldn't
know anyone and all the unfamiliar
surroundings said Cindy Horrell,
freshman.
Other students seemed
enthused at the idea of studying in
another country.
"I would try it out for a semester
just to get the experience said
Vinny Cardillo, graduate student.
"I think it would be an awesome
experience said Robin Skipper,
Junior.

Catchphrase contest makes profit for
Nebraska students
GENEVA, Neb. (AP) - Ever catch
yourself saying, "like, you know" a
lot?
Geneva High School senior
Jessica Reinsch won $1,000 for tap-
ing a 15-minute radio interview
during which that annoying phrase
- "you know" - was uttered 61
times.
Before the Nebraskaland
Foundadon's "You Know" contest,
Reinsch was aware of how often
she heard the phrase, "but it didn't
ever connect that it was that annoy-
ing she said.
"Now I hear it all the time she
said. "I catch myself now. It seems
weird
The contest, open to Nebraska
students from kindergarten
through 12th grades, was set up to
raise awareness among young peo-
ple about the meaningless phrase.
It stems from the morning
Nebraska native Barney Oldfield
heard 117 "you knows" during a
60-minute radio show.
"It was an oral abomination
said the 1933 University of
Nebraska School of Journalism
graduate, who now lives in Beverly
Hills, Calif. Oldfield and his wife,
Vada, contribute the cash awards.
Trucker unsatisfied

West, 24, of Newton, Kan called
police about 8 p.m. Tuesday to
complain that the woman left

wanted half of his $80 returned.
"He told me that she was his!
date and that she did not perform
the services that he asked for, so he

officer wrote in a report.
West was arrested on a public
lewdness complaint and remained!

The East Carolinian
Pirates earn back-to-back wins for season victory
Jaynes adds 34 points
in her last home games
Jean V. Wharton
STAFF WHITER
By showing a lot of love for the game on
Valentines Day, the Lady Pirates came
out of the weekend with two back-to-
back wins on home turf.
Friday the Women's hoops broke
their loosing streak in the CAA by nar-
rowly beating George Mason 52-51,
then jumping back into action on
Sunday to defeat American University
90-85.
The Pirates were looking to notch a
big win over GMU after two road losses
last weekend. The Patriots proved to be
a tough competitor for ECU as the two
teams went neck in neck during the first
half.
Senior center Beth Jaynes led the
Pirates in scoring with 12 points during
the first half.
Neither team broke away for a big
lead. In the first half they tied 14 times
with no lead larger then five points. At
the half GMU had captured the lead at
31-29.
The second half was another 30 min-
utes of tough play for both teams. ECU
managed to hold on to a lead thanks to
strong defensive play.
"We had a great defensive effort in
the second half said Dee Gibson,
ECU head coach. "We did a good job
shutting them down
"We had a great defensive effort in

The game came down to the wire
with ECU up by one and the Patriots in
possession of the ball. A last minute
GMU time out with 24 seconds remain-
ing was not enough for the Patriots to
score.
ECU won 52-51, lead by Jaynes with
15 points.

Feeling confident off of Friday's win,
the Lady Pirates took to the floor at
Minges again on Sunday.
"We've been really pumped up off of
the George Mason game said Danielle
Melvin, junior forward.
ECU was able to gain a significant
lead over the Eagles but could not hold
on due to turnovers. At the half the
women hung on to a narrow 37-36 lead.
Jaynes lead the Pirates with 11 points
in the first half. This game marked the
end of Jaynes' ECU career as she
played in her final home game.
The second half was played at the
foul line. ECU took an early lead but
was slowed down by foul trouble. But,
setting a season high 40 of 46 at the
line, the Pirates were able to hang on to
the lead during the second half.
As the clock counted down ECU
had the lead and went to the foul line
again with forward Waynetta Veney,
securing the win.
Melvin led the team in scoring with
a career-high 21 points. Jaynes added 19
for the Pirates.
This game marked the 14th win for
the Lady Pirates, which stands for the
first winning season in six years.
"This has been a big goal, it feels
good Gibson said.
This set of victories provides the
Lady Pirates with confidence
going into the CAA tournament,
held in Richmond from March 3-
6.
"We needed to be in good
standing come tournament time
said Melvin.
Gibson and her team move to
14-10 overall and 7-7 in the CAA.
The Lady Pirates travel to
Richmond on Feb. 19 and then
finish out the regular season on
Feb. 24 at Virginia
Commonwealth.
With a career high 21 points, Danielle Melvin led the Pirates in their win over American University Sunday afternoon.

Just when they thought it was safe to get back
into the water, other CAA teams must face the
attack of the ECU Pirates.
Charlotte, North Carolina's Mecklenburg
Aquatic Center will hold this year's Conference
Swimming Championship from Feb. 18-20.
Pirate swimmers are gradually resting their

that lies ahead.

Pirates wins 4x400
at Kroger Invitational
Stephen S c m r a m m
SENIOR WRITER
ECU went head to head with teams
from around the country and came
out on top at this weekend's Kroger
Collegiate Invitational.
Both the men's and women's track
teams traveled to the meet at Virginia
Tech with hopes of qualifying for the
important meets to come and possi-
bly breaking some personal and
school records along the way. One
athlete who broke records and quali-
fied for the NCAAs was ECU fresh-
man Toni Kilgore.
Kilgore set a new school and per-
sonal record in the triple jump with a
jump of 41'6 12
"I knew she would eventually
jump that far, but I did not expect her
to do it this soon said Chatles
"Choo" Justice, ECU's head women's
track coach. "She will continue as she
gets stronger and more experienced
Another sparkling performance
came from Michelle Clayton. In the
weight throw, Clayton set a new
school record and a new NCAA provi-
sional qualifying mark with a throw of
60' 8 Clayton, ranked 10th in the
country, wound up first among col-
lege competitors losing only to a pro-
fessional. In the shot put, Clayton
placed third.
Kiona Kirkpatrick set a school
record in the 400 meter dash.
Kirkpatrick finished 12th.
"She ran a perfect race. She ran
really well Justice said.
Rasheca Barrow had an exception-
al meet, running well in two events.
In the 200 meter dash, Barrow placed
11th. Her time of 25.11 seconds broke
her personal record and qualified her
for the ECAC Championships later
this month. Barrowfollowed up her
performance in the 200 by finishing
seventh in the 60 meter dash.
In the long jump Kilgore and
teammate Toshima Dabbs took ninth
and 10th place respectively.
In the women's 4x400 meter relay
ECU qualified for the ECAC
Championships and placed eighth.
The men's 4x400 meter relay final
was touted as "the Battle of the
Carolinas" because it pitted squads
from the ECU, the University of
North Carolina and the University of
South Carolina. The battle turned out
not to be much of a race. ECU took
the lead on the second leg and won
by 15 meters.
"Before the race they played this
fight song on the loud speakers and
said it was the battle of the Carolinas.
People were up and screaming.
That's what it's all about said Bill
Carson, ECU's head men's track
coach .
The 4x400 meter relay team of
James Alexander, Darrick Ingram,
Lawrence Ward and Damon Davis
finished first out of 52 teams. The
team is currently ranked ninth in the
nation.
Many of the runners on the 4x400
squad had already competed in the
open 400 meters earlier in the meet.
Davis finished sixth despite drawing
lane two.
Ward won his heat in the 400 as he
had in the past few meets, but like
those meets Ward did not make it
into the finals.
"We're winning heats but we're
not getting into the fastest heats
Carson said.
In the 500 meter dash, Lynn
Stewart placed second while team-
mate Von Johnson placed fourth.
Johnson's time of 1:04.83 qualified
him for the IC4A Indoor
Championships.
In the 60 meter dash, Vaughn
Monroe placed 11th out of 56.

man Aaron Harris continued his sur-

Woods and Brown both had

Woods was visibly upset

Brown tied Woods at 20-

"Is What, I Want What You Want? Promoting Consent and Preventing

What can men and women do to insure that all sexual intimacy is mutual,

present? This lecture provides guidelines for what men can do to prevent rape and
what women can do to reduce their risk of victimization, and what we can all do to
create healthy campuses where sexual assault is uncommon. Dr. Berkowitz has served
as an advisor to The Centers for Disease Control, the U.S. Department of Education,

Last night I was downtown with several of my friends. It was a night
like any other night downtown. ejKftJjjjkaghing and having a
great time. Before I knew what was happening, I began to feel very ill.
I was sleepy, having trouble staying alert. I couldn't understand what
was happening because I had not had very much to drink. I had drunk as
much as I usually drink, but I felt as if I had drank a lot more.
Today I am thankful for my friends. I told one of my friends that I was
feeling really bad. After some general teasing, "lightweight one of my
tends helped me get home safely. One of them even stayed with me
ntil the next morning.
Today I feel like I will neveT be the same again. I don't really have a
lot of memories about what happened to me, but I know it was awful. I
remember feeling numb, as though I couldn't move, couldn't defend
myself. I remember someone was with me, doing things I didn't want
them to do. I remember asking them to stop, saying, "No Today, I,
feel afraid, my world is a very diflnnt place now. Where were my
friends? Where were the people fflppught I could trust?

Approximately two-thirds of all rapes are not reported to the police.
Women are 10 times more likely than men to be victims of rape or sexual
assault.
One-third of all rape victims consider committing suicide.
The majority of rape and sexual assault victims are young women between the
ages of 16 and 24.
One out of every five young women in 2 and 4 year colleges report that they
have been forced to have sexual intercourse.
Less than 2 of reported rapes are false reports.
70 of black victims are raped by black men; 78 of white victims are raped by
white men.
12 of all sexual assault victims are men.
80 of all rapes are perpetrated by male acquaintances; only 20 of rapes are
by strangers.
40 of rapists are married or have a regular sex partner.
