East Carolina University has estab- : lished a Y2K Response Team to ! recognize campus problems and implement solutions associated ! with the upcoming millennium. The team, led by Richard Brown, vice chancellor for Administration and Finance, meets frequently to regulate Y2K devel- opments and plan for possible cam- pus problems. Brown said in a press release that campus officials are confident that the computer hardware and soft- ware at ECU are mainly Y2K com- patible- or will be soon- but that dif- ficulties associated with various utilities, other vendors and suppli- ers could set off cascading prob- lems. The worse case scenario could result in failure of major utility sys- tems that could leave the campus without electricity, water, or phone service for a period of time. "While we will plan for such occurrences, we do not expect that will be necessary Brown said . Don Dunlap, director of Software Development Services, said he is confident that ECU is in good shape for the new year. "There will be a number of peo- ple working and we have a very lim- ited holiday schedule. People will be working on New Years's Eve and New Year's Day Dunlap said. Because Jan. 1, 2000, falls on a Saturday and because the first day of spring semester classes does not begin until Jan. 10, officials will have several days to recover from the problems that may occur. Dunlap said the Y2K team will be conducting major tests between the second summer session and August. "We will try to fool the comput- ers by changing the date to see if they will work said Dunlap. "Our student system has been ready since 1995. I think the university is in really good shape. We have been ahead of most universities since the beginning Other universities in North Carolina are also hard at work on the Y2K problem. UNC-Chapel Hill has also created an Academic and Technology Network team dedicated to the Y2K problem. They are assessing equipment and departments within the academic community, while raising aware- ness of the problem.

But are you ready for them? Criminals are always ready to pounce on unsuspecting victims, according to Officer Kip Gaskins of the Greenville Police Department. He warned that anyone could be a prime target for a crime, especially if you are unaware and insecure. "Criminals are opportunists.They're going to take the path of least resistance said Gaskins.

Do not take shortcuts through park- ing lots and yards, but instead stay in populated areas. Also, if you carry a purse, hold it close to your body. According to Gaskins, the strap may be used as a tool for the perpetrator. If it is around your neck and the purse is jerked, you too will go down.

PHOTO BY MIKE JAC06SEN State issues campus five alco-sensors Ringold incident raises awareness Problems exist after Cotten Hall rape Rachel Hia d o n STAFF WRITER o ver a year has passed since a student was raped on campus in Cotten Hall. Another student was sexually assaulted at knife-point in Ringold Towers less than a month ago. In the United States 1.3 women are raped every minute ? that's 78 rapes each hour, 1872 rapes each day, 56160 rapes each month and 638,380 rapes each year. Statistics like these and the shocking instance of such a brutal crime occurring to ECU students has some women saying that they are becoming increasingly con- cerned about safety issues on cam- pus. "I was surprised and shocked, I felt like it could have happened to me said Cotten Hall resident Bridgette Flynn. "It made me a lot more cautious Although awareness was height- ened after the incident, many say feel that time has caused stu- dents to fall back into care- lessness. According to offi- cials, unlocked doors and unescorted guests pose the greatest danger to residents. "A lot of times in the beginning everyone is con- cerned, but in time that con- cern dwindles said Stephanie Anthony, Sgt. of Crime Prevention with ECUPD. "We still find resi- dence hall doors propped open and doors unlocked Some students who live in residence halls said they think that access to resi- dence halls should be more of a concern "It is so easy to get into the halls said sophomore Jennifer Zinn. "People realize that it can happen or that it could hap- pen again said freshman Ann Vogel Officials on campus said that incidents that involve students always raise aware- ness and incite many to take extra precautions. However, according to director of Rape Statistics - One out of every three American women will . be sexually assaulted in her lifetime. - One in seven women will be reped by her husband. - 6 percent of all reps cases are victims less 118 years c o between One year after a rape occurred in Cotten Hall end weeks after an assault in Ringold Towers, sexual assault remains a concern to many in the campus community. PHOTO DRAMATIZATION Housing Manny Amaro, the only remained the same, as well as poli way that students can really stay protected is to show active concern by participating in safety measures like traveling in groups, making sure that doors are closed and locked, and refusing to let anyone into residence halls who is not escorted by a resident. "Nothing has changed as far as security in the residence halls said Manny Amaro, director of housing. According to Amaro, the locked inner and outer doors have cies that forbid visitors to walk unescorted through the halls. "If you are not careful and aware you can jeopardize not only your own safety, but the safety of oth- ers Amaro said.

These hand-held devices, better known as alco-sensors, are used in conjunction with field sobriety tests, such as walking a straight line or counting to five on your fingers, to estab- lish probable cause for arrest. The blood alcohol reading the machine reg- isters can work for or against a suspect. If the person blows around a .08, the legal limit for intoxication, then they must be taken to the Pitt County Detention Center. However, If the reading is lower than .08, it can mean that the per- son does not have to go to the look is more grim.

In response to the burgeoning human- itarian crisis, NATO nations pre- pared to begin taking in large num- bers of refugees, while stressing it was only a temporary measure until they could return to homes in Kosovo. Germany is ready to accept 40,000; the United States, 20,000; and Turkey, 20,000, NATO said Sunday. Macedonia, a former Yugoslav republic, agreed to let refugees pass over its border in return for a promise that nearly all would go elsewhere.

Gaskins believes that people are aware of personal safety proce- dures, but overlook simple proce- dures that could prevent them from becoming a victim. "People are in such a hurry to get nowhere and forget the funda- mentals of personal safety said Gaskins. crime March 31 Damage to Property - A student reported that the window on his vehicle was broken out while the vehicle was parked in the Ninth and Forbes Streets parking lot.

Their desperate plight - and that of tens of thousands of other refugees flooding out of Kosovo - is spurring NATO nations to offer temporary refuge in order to take the pressure off neighbors of the southern Serbian province that are overwhelmed by the refugee influx. Some of the worst of the suffer- ing could be seen at a squalid encampment on the Macedonia- Yugoslav border. In only days, it has become a refugee city, with wisps of smoke wafting over a landscape of shelters made of plastic or blankets. With no latrines in the camp, human feces were ground into the mud underfoot. Some refugees walked into a half-empty field near a river, many washing themselves in the freezing cold water. "It is like nothing I have ever experienced said one woman who identified herself only as Lora, with tears in her eyes. After days of waiting, some aid was arriving at the squalid camp. Aid workers distributed heavy boxes of cookies and canons of juice. Blankets and plasdc sheeting were also being supplied. For some, the help was coming too late. Julia Taft, U.S. assistant secretary of state for refugees who visited the camp on Sunday, said 11 elderly people had died there in the past few days. "It is very grim she said. In response to the burgeoning crisis, NATO nations prepared to begin taking in the refugees, while stressing it was only a temporary measure. Germany is ready to accept 40,000; the United States, 20,000; and Turkey, 20,000, NATO spokesman Jamie Shea said in Brussels, Belgium on Sunday. "The NATO operation is a col- lective one. Those who have partic- ipated in it must also participate in the responsibility said Turkish Prime Minister Bulent Ecevit, whose country announced plans to set up a tent camp in northwestern Turkey for refugees. NATO is marshaling planes, food, shelter, medical and other aid for Macedonia and Albania, which are dealing with an estimated 135,000 refugees and 190,000 refugees respectively. Montenegro, the smallerofthe two republics that make up Yugoslavia, has taken in another 32,000 Kosovars who say they are fleeing Serb atrocities. Taft said she had received assur- ances from President Kiro Gligorov that Macedonia's border would remain open to those fleeing Kovoso, provided other nations would take them in. Fearing political instability as a result of the influx, Macedonia said it could allow no more than 20,000 refugees to remain. But it agreed Sunday to allow arrivals to be fer- ried from the muddy border field to a tent city being set up by NATO forces near its capital, Skopje. At the edge of the encampment, long lines of buses were taking away an estimated 300 refugees an hour, or about 5,000 a day, slowly shrinking the encampment whose size had swelled to 70,000 refugees. A few were already being flown out of Macedonia on the return legs of arriving aid flights, and Macedonia's deputy prime minis- ter, Radmilla Kiprjanova, said Sunday that larger-scale airlifts using military transport would get under way from the Skopje airport. f East Carolina Paintball IT'S A BLAST! s5 mask rental s5 gun rental SB field fee 52C02fee for 100 pain tballs Take Hwy 33 West from Greenville, 8 miles past the airport.

Do you see the problem here? With this year's basketball season over, it's time for the Pirates to regroup and pre- pare for next year with new coach, Bill Herrion. Herrion's impeccable reputation as coach of the Drexel Dragons at Drexel University in Philadelphia for eight seasons, ranking 15th among active coaches makes him a useful asset to the Pirates. With his background and passion for the game, we hope he can use the same magic he did with the Dragons and instill the same passion within the players on our team. What we're looking for here is something of the Domino effect. By building the Pirates morale, this may improve their on court performance - well, that's what we're hoping for. And as shallow as it may sound, no one wants to back a mediocre team?school spirit or no school spirit. As the Pirates improve and strive towards coming togeth- er ?remember, there is no T in team? students may be more apt to coming out and supporting them. Not to say that we don't support them now. But if Minges can seat over 8,000 and approximately 3,500 students take the time to actually attend half the game, we can definitely do better than this. If the team makes a conscien- tious effort to improve their game, it's almost a given that students will go to the games and cheer their Pirates on?everyone loves a winning team. Although this is a tall order for one man to face, we believe that Herrion will be able to fit the bill?that's why the sports department shells out the big bucks. Good luck to you, Coach Herrion and welcome to Pirate Country! OPINION The New York Times The public has right to know "When democracies send their military forces into combat, citi- zens need to know as much about the battles as sensible security pre- cautions permit. In the case of Kosovo NATO and the Pentagon must provide a detailed account of the effectiveness of the air war. It is a responsibility they have so far largely failed to meet. The decision to limit NATO briefings to broad generalities comes from Gen. Wesley Clark, the American commander of alliance forces in Europe. Pentagon briefings have offered more target and damage informa- tion but have been frustratingly short on important specifics. The air offensive has not gone well in the first 11 days, and the American people should not be denied a full account of the reasons, beyond the foul weather that has limited bombing runs. In the weeks ahead. President (Bill) Clinton may seek public sup- port for escalating the air war, or even introducing ground troops into combat. It is essential that citizens have all the information they need to make informed judg- ments as these matters arise. OPINION The Washington Post Tragedy takes shape in Kosovo "IT WILL NO doubt take some days, perhaps weeks, to mea- sure the full impact of the new surge in NATO bombing against Serbian targets in Kosovo and in Serbia proper. But it takes no time at all to realize that a horren- dous and somehow unanticipat- ed human tragedy is taking shape in Kosovo under the hammer of ilobodan Milosevic's latest ethnic cleansing program. Relief for the refugees is proving complex both administratively and politically. Answers are urgent. It is observed that the people of Serbia are also under a grave threat the threat of allied bombing. But a key distinction must be main- tained. The Serbian population, with which NATO has no quarrel in any event, is only the unintended and acci- dental target of military action, and a target the allies strain to avoid. But the Kosovar population is the intended and chosen target: Their physical destruction and removal from their homes and from their own country are in fact President Milosevic's principal war aim.

LETTER to the Editor Do not condemn because of beliefs Usually I will politely say that I do not believe in that and walk off. I do not mind unless the person says, "Do you know if you are not saved or if you don't believe in Jesus Christ that you will" In the March 30 issue of TEC, a student wrote in protest of hearing about alternative lifestyles. I was rather angered by this article because I feel that people often for- get to look at both sides of the coin. Often when I walk across campus I will see religious communities preaching their faith or certain activities they are holding. I have no problem with this, as these groups are a part of our community. However, sometimes I am stopped and asked whether I want to join and to help "save" others from sin. Usually I will politely say that I do not believe in that and walk off. I do not mind unless that person says, "Do you know if you are not saved or you don't believe in Jesus Christ that you will go to hell?" Why do people start condemning how I choose to live? They may not like it but I am not asking them to agree with me. I am just asking the respect that this is what I believe because I am an individual. When I see such articles referring to various groups I may not agree with what they believe in. But this is our soci- ety. In this country we have certain rights, mainly the freedom of reli- gion and speech. It is from these articles that we are allowed to see the many sides of our culture. If we saw everything we wanted to see when we opened the paper or turned on the television, I don't think we would be learning much. I ask my fellow students to agree or condemn the former article. Or to agree or condemn this one. I ask that when you read something about another lifestyle or culture you take the time and respect that everyone is different even if you don't agree with them. I ask you to think that maybe when you see something wrong with someone else they may also feel there is something just as wrong with you. Our campus is made up of people of all colors, races, religious back- grounds and lifestyles. This is a part of learning about the world. This is what makes East Carolina University an interesting place. Candice Matelski LETTER to the Editor Is the university stealing our money.? Students, you have forgotten that you have rights and you have the right to voice what you think. Ttme to stand up and be counted when it comes to this parking issue. Dear Editor So many issues, so little time. About the cartoons with the gun issue in mind Hey, why not draw a canoon of dining services holding up students for that $125 we must pay in order to get a room on this burg for the summer. Those people are robbing us blind and they dont even have guns. Let's hope they never get guns. My question is??? What if I don't want to eat in the dining hall? What happens to my money if I do not eat $125 worth if food? Does the money come back to me? No it does not Hey, I think those guys that caught poor ole Steve speeding are related to the dining hall services money grabbers down this way LAST AND MOST IMPORTANT: Would it not be nice to see Ms. Teel set records at her home track? Wouldn't be nice if you were a per- son who put in long hours running in the cold and heat, rain or shine to have your photo in the paper? How long would our baseball players play ball if all their games were away games? What is wrong with track . . . Not enough money? Could the attendance be any less chart that of the basketball teams? The 4x300 men's relay team might have loved to be cheered on by their home school and peers. If they keep taking away the parking, soon this will be a com- muter college instead of a walking college. Dorms will be located in Vanceboro and Kinston. If you think you run late now, just wait until the purple and gold buses from dowtown Vanceboro and Kinston. It is downright shameful. We have no parking spaces, some dorms look like something out of the slums, students are held hostage by the Dining Services, and oh yes I know that if I don't like it here, I should go somewhere else. Then there's the great quote "Well I have been to colleges that are worse BEEP?wrong answer. I do like it here, but there are changes that need to be made. Somewhere along the way, this col- lege has forgotten who pays their paychecks. I agree with the editori- al on parking. Stop selling the $96, oops, $120 stickers for next year for parking if there are not enough spaces. False advertising is what I call it. If you pay for a service, and you do not get that service, what do you do? If you have X number of stu- dents, then you should give out X number of parking stickers. Number the spaces to go along with the dorms. Let visitors hunt for a space. We live here, we pay to sleep, eat and park here. Oh, did I leave out that we take classes here? Well, two ouc of three ain't bad. Still, we should have a place to park our cars. Students, you have forgotten that you have rights and you have the right to voice what you think. Time to stand up and be counted when it comes to this parking issue. If you do not speak up and to the right people, then when you are wet, cold and late for class, you will have no voice. Now I see that we are walking on the grass. Well, make up your mind. Most grass paths are made by students dodg- ing construction. Let's find out what they do with the money. Let's find out what they do with the fines and tickets. You have 120 reasons to com- plain about this issue. In conclusion, it is not hard to understand why the track team does not have a track. It is going to be turned into a parking lot. Then no one will be able to park there because it will be turned into a con- struction site. Then it will be turned into some state-of-the-art something that no one will visit. Why, because they have to ride the bus from Vanceboro and by the time the bus reaches it. it will be closed for repairs, (for example, the 3 million dollar wall of waste, oops, water. ??? comics 6 Tutidiv.

Ladies, how many times have you leard this line from some drunken, lesperate, dork? And guys, do you eally think someone is going to be tupid enough to say yes? Such is the story of Greenville lighdife. We all go out, otherwise why would we be in school at ECU? But the question remains, why do we go out? "I go out to relieve stress and ;njoy the company of my friends .aid senior Danielle Pschcrer. For the most part, going out and laving fun is a great way to relax ifter a long week of classes. And with the variety bars located in Greenville, the nightlife here does- l't often get old. If you are headed out, there is ots to choose from. Some places, iuch as BW-3 and Chico's, offer a nore relaxed atmosphere where socializing and with old friends and neeting new ones is possible. For :hose who take their night life a lit- Je more seriously, dance clubs such is The Cellar and Parana Bob's give :he Greenville players a chance to trut their stuff. There are also sev- :ral places to hear live music if the Dar or club scenes aren't for you. Another great thing about the downtown scene is its proximity to ampus. Students who live on cam- jus don't usually have to worry ibout driving downtown, and since nost off campus students live near- ay, many people who enjoy going downtown can stumble home after- wards and stay off the highways. Since the downtown area is cen- trally located, most of the students frequent the same places, which makes it a great way to socialize with people you know. Chances arc, you're going to know a few peo- ple already when you go into a place, which makes students feel more at home at the night spots they frequent. A consistent crowd draws many people, students and non-students alike. Speaking of the crowd, it's pret- ty much the same on any given night. An informal (and anony- mous) poll revealed the typical atti- tudes that most people have about the downtown crowd. For the most part, the girls are described as undepressed whores and the guys as drunk, desperate, and looking for the aforementioned women. (Of course, not all people downtown are like this, but if you are planning to go downtown on a regular basis, it will help you to fit in). "Greenville caters to the hoochie-mama slut-puppy, red neck lovin' crowd said one anony- mous senior. Ouch. "I no longer do the downtown scene because all it is is a bunch of alcoholics looking for an excuse to grope and grab one another said junior Jeannette Jackson. When asked about what students specifically like to do downtown, most will non-specifi- cally answer, "To drink and socialize Translation: get drunk and harass the opposite sex. Of course, with the variety of cheap drink specials offered down- town, it is an easy thing to do. Most places outside of the downtown area don't offer drinks as cheaply as the bars and clubs down- town, which encourages most peo- ple who go out on a regular basis to frequent the downtown area. Although the Greenville Many ECU prefer to use their weekends relaxing in the downtown bars while they drink away their stressful weeks in the company of friends. PHOTO BY JACOB GARMON nightlife offers a lot of things to do, there are some drawbacks. One of the worst things about downtown involves the problems of the city of Greenville. There just isn't enough close parking, so expect to walk at least a block or more to get where you're going. And also expect to be watched closely by the Greenville police if you are walking anywhere down Fifth street. This is a problem that people who go to bars outside of downtown don't have to deal with, and many students feel that it NIGHTLIFE INFORMATION TOP FIVE PLACES TO GO DOWNTOWN BW-3 2, Pantana Bob's' 3.

Many students kept up all ?: hours of night due to Insomnia Lack of knowledge keeps disorder mystery ?? IErica Sikes STAFF WRITER You look at the clock. It's 2 a.m. If you could just go to sleep now, you could get at least five good hours before it's time for your eight o'clock class, you wouldn't be tired during the day and you'd also be able to concentrate and stay awake in math class. Many students face this com- mon disorder known as insomnia. The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, NHLBI, defines insomnia as the perception or com- plaint of inadequate or poor quality sleep. According to the NHLBI, insomnia is characterized by having difficulty falling asleep, waking up frequently during the night, wak- ing up too early in the morning and unrefreshing sleep. Insomnia is classified into three categories, according to severity. The first, transient, which is short term, lasts from a single night to a few weeks. The second category, which is intermittent, occurs when there are frequent episodes of tran- sient insomnia. The third, which is chronic, and more serious, and occurs on most night s and lasts for a month or more. Insomnia occurs most often in people over 60, of the female gen- der or with a history of depression. Other conditions such as stress, anxiety, a medical problem, or the use of certain medications, are con- tributing factors to the severity of the disorder. There are many things that cause insomnia. Stress, environ- mental noise, extreme tempefa- tures, change in environment and medicinal side effects are among the components responsible for this disorder. Chronic insomnia is affected by a combination of these Restless nights lead to exhaustion and lack of performance in the classroom. PHOTO BY JACOB GARMON factors. One of the most common factors is depression, which is sta- tistically high among teenagers. Students usually come up with their own anecdotes to aid them in falling asleep. They are either unaware that there is a problem, or simply blame the difficulty on stress and caffeine or alcohol. "When I can't sleep at night, I normally toss and turn for about two hours said freshman, Mary Beth Fleming. "Then I get fed up and take Nyquil, and that puts me to sleep As opposed to drugs, some stu- dents use more natural methods to get themselves to sleep. "When I have difficulty falling asleep.I find it more relaxing to have music playing said sopho- more, Nick McLamb. "Another alternative, which is popular among my suite mates, is just to go four- wheelin "Usually, when I can't sleep I break out my Algebra said junior.Tricia Bell. "That usually does the trick Diagnosis of insomnia is very difficult because of the lack of knowledge about the disorder. Lack of sleep can be caused mere- ly by stress or by more serious dis- orders such as sleep apnea, heart failure, asthma, narcolepsy, Parkinson's disease or hypothy- roidism. Treatment of insomnia is less mandatory in transient and inter- mittent insomnia because the symptoms only last for a few days. Treatment for chronic insomnia consists of different therapy meth- ods such as relaxation therapy, sleep restriction and recondition- ing. Five greek organizations are planning a step show to bring awareness to violence, portions of the proceeds will go to New Directions, a Pitt County based organization geared toward family violence in the local area. PHOTO COURTESY OF NATIONAL PANOHELLENIC COUNCIL Fraternities, sororities join together to step out violence Portion of proceeds benefit New Directions Phillip Gilfis SENIOR WRITER If the only thoughts you have of Greek organizations involve loud music and parties, you had better think again. A group of fraternities and soror- ities are joining together under the organization of the National Pan- Hellenic Council, to perform an annual Greek stepshow. A portion of the proceeds from this event will go to New Directions, Pitt County Family Violence Program, Inc. "The stepshow is a traditional program done on most campuses said Chris Rey, president of the National Pan-Hellenic Council. "The dances and different moves are styles that go back to Africa The five Greek organizations taking part in the performance are three sororities, Alpha Kappa Alpha, Zeta Phi Beta, Sigma Gamma Rho, and two fraternities, Kappa Alpha Psi and Phi Beta Sigma. Each organization is participat- ing in the event in different ways. "(Alpha Kappa Alpha will be helping with the ushering and will count votes. We may do some floorstepping, but not for competi- tion said Dushun Evans, presi- dent. "Ten of Phi Beta Sigma's members will be participating. We've taken part in the stepshow since our fraternity started in "The stepshow is a traditional program done on most campuses Chris Rey president of ihe National Pan-Hellenic Council 1983 Rey said, who is also presi- dent of Phi Beta Sigma.

Judges for the competition will be members from three impartial Greeks organizations. After the performance, an after party will take place at as yet deter- mined place. "Last year we had it at Christenbury, but we're still unsure where it will be this year Rey said. "But everyone will defi- nitely be jammin wherever it is Each year the National Pan- Hellenic Council votes to have a portion of the proceeds go to the community. The rest is kept for the Pan-Hellenic Council, which organizes the Minority Ball on- campus and provides many differ- ent programs including social events, comedy shows and panics. This year, Toya Sanders, member of Sigma Gamma Rho, convinced the council to give ten percent of the proceeds to New Directions. "New Directions provides a safehouse for battered women and children Sanders said, who is also the Community Education Coordinator for the organization. "One main purpose of this perfor- mance is to show suppon for the Greeks and New Directions Sanders, along with volunteers, will pass out purple ribbons at the step show which symbolize the need to stop domestic violence and share information about the pro- grams that they provide. The money New directions receive will help them provide 24-hour crisis counseling, temporary housing, clothing and food for in-house women and children. The stepshow will take place at Wright Auditorium on Friday, April 9 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $8 in advance for non-Greeks and $6 for Greeks. The Central Ticket Office at Mendenhall Student Center will be have advance tick- ets available. The public is invited.

April 6. 1899 9 Pirates sweep William and Mary ECU improves, 28-6 overall; 6-0 conference Paul Kaplan senior writer The Pirates baseball team swept William and Mary last weekend in a three game Easter home confer- ence special series. It was the first time since 1989 that ECU had back to back sweeps over conference teams as they increased their record to 28-6 over- all and 6-0 in the conference and first place atop the CAA. ECU took down William and Mary 23-3 on Friday night in the first of a three game series, and later put away W&M 4-2 in game three on Sunday. But the number 13 ended up being the lucky number on Saturday night for the number 23 Pirate baseball team in game two of the series. It was in the bottom of the 13th inning when Steve Salargo hit out the game winning home run in dra- matic style to end a not so dramatic 8-6 triumph overWilliam and Mary. Nick Schnabel led off the inning with a sensational infield hit, just beating the throw from the W&M short stop. Then with Schnabel on First, Salargo decided that 13 innings on a Saturday night was a little too long and sent his second home run of the day just over the deep center-field wall sending everybody home and taking the win. "In all honesty, you never really try to hit a ball out of the park. You take a good swing, you hit it solid and it just goes Salargo said. "Honestly, I was trying to drive the ball in the gap with a runner onfirst and give him a chance to score, he threw a fast ball up and awayand he just gave it to me In Saturday's game, ECU did not score a run until the bottom of the third inning when they found themselves down 3-0. Then with one out Salargo and John Williamson knocked out back-to- back home runs to shrink the deficit down to 3-2. Then with two men on base and only one out, Lee Delfino hit into his first of two dou- ble plays to end the rally just as it Clayton sets records 4x200 places third in Texas Relay Mandy Reutter STAFF WRITER Men's 4x200-meter finished third and took fourth in the 4x400 in Texas, as Michelle Clayton stole first-place and set a new school record in the weight throw at Duke. The Texas Relays, held on the campus of the University of Texas, housed some of the best track teams in the country, including our ECU men's track team. "The Texas Relays is the most prestigeous in the country Bill Carson men's head coach "The Texas Relays is the most prestigeous in the country said Bill Carson, men's head coach. "To finish third was good This was not the only time that ECU has placed third in the 4x200 at the Texas Relays. In fact this is the third year in a row that they have placed in third position. It was the combination of James Alexander, Darren Tuitt, Lawrence Ward and Darrick Ingram that led to this third place victorv with a fin- ishing time of 1:23.90. Individual times included 21.0, 20.7, 21.10, and 20.4 respectively. The only two teams that stood in their way of a first place win was Arizona State (1:22.20) and Southern (1:23.45). "Bad batton handoffs is what kept us out placing first said Carson. Bad handoffs or not, the men's 4x400 went on to place fourth and recorded a time of 3:05.33. This time is currently the fourth best time in the country. Alexander, Ingram, Damon Davis and Mike Miller were the four who tallied individual times of 46.6, 45.6, 46.4, and 46.0 respectfully. ECU women's track was also representative in Texas as their 4x100 and 4x400-meter relay teams finished fifth and ninth in their heats, but failed to advance to the championship round. Success didn't just strike in Texas but also here in North Carolina. Michelle Clayton, senior weight thrower, set three school records at the General Motors- Duke Invitational. Out of 63 teams in the Invitational, Clayton placed first and set one school record with her winning throw of 186-7. This throw qualified her for the ECAC Outdoor Championships on May 21-23 in Fairfax, Va. Clayton then went on to set record in the discus with a throw of 146 feet, 8 inches to place fifth and break Darlene Vicks' previous record and shot 47 feet, 34 inches to break her last and final record of th- Invitational. "I knew she would do it eventu- ally, I just didn't know that she would do it this fast said Charles Justice, women's head coach. "I wasn't expecting her to do it all at once In the 800 meters, Fran Lattie placed fourth, while teammate Leana Anding placed eigth in the triple jump. Michelle Clayton FILE PHOTO ECU's improving distance run- ners had a banner day in Durham. The Pirates set a new school record in the distance medley. "They did well said Leonard Klepack, men's cross-country head coach. "They ran competitively in a field that was very good Stuart Will, Von Johnson, Brian Beil and David Balon turned in strong performances en route to earning ECU a tenth place finish and a time of 10:06.52. "It's nice to set a school record with a team that you know still has a long way to go Klepack said. was beginning. The Pirates scored two more in the fourth off an RBI single by Schnabel and one more off a dropped pop fly hit by Wlliamson. ECU scored two more in the fifth inning off of a two RBI single by James Molinari. But not without giving up two in the fifth and one in the sixth inning to W&M. "It was a long day. It shows a lot of character of this team, to keep battling and battling. We had so many things go wrong for us and we just kept battling and that's the sign of a good team Schnabel said. When it was all said and done the Pirates took Saturday's game 8- 6 and Adam Reikowski got the win on the mound for ECU and Justin Wellen took the loss for William and Mary. "I think it was a true test of char- acter. I thought we battled andhung in there as a team when we could have given up on several occasions and I thought it was tremendous win said Keith LeClair, head coach. "I thought the bullpen did an outstanding job and kept us in the game long enough to give us a chance to win the game in the end ECU went on to win Sunday's game in a regular old nine-inning game as they beat W&M 4-2. Brooks Jemigan took the win after eight innings of pitching, giving up six hits, four walks and with seven strike outs.

Now, in retirement Jordan wants to add NBA Owner to that list. He has contacted the beloved and underachieving Charlotte Hornets about buying 50 percent of the team. I think the only drawback to his plan is the fact that he only wants to buy 50 percent and share owner- ship of the team with the cheap George Shinn. C'mon Mike just one more percent wouldn't hurt. Shinn's unwillingness to dish out the eight figure salaries and thus remain competitive in a league where $100 million dollar salaries are not uncommon shows the average Hornets fan that the ownership of their team is not com- mitted to winning. In the early nineties, the Hornets looked to be the team of the future. With a nucleus of Alonzo Mourning and Larry Johnson, the team appeared to be on the road to becoming one of the NBAs elite. The Hornets re-signed the injury-ridden Johnson to a deal that effectively made keeping Mourning financially impossible. Mourning was dealt to Miami for perennial All-Star Glenn Rice. Johnson went to New York for the much cheaper Anthony Mason. Over the course of the decade, the Hornets' roster became cheaper and filled with more obscure play- ers. Can you name the Hornets starting point guard? The Hornets are now a shell of the team that was once considered the heir apparent to Jordan's Bulls. The Hornet's downfall came as a result of Shinn's lack of financial support. A top center like Mourning automatically makes you a contender. The departure of Mourning took the Hornets from a championship contender to an afterthought. Jordan's purchase of the Hornets would breathe life into an organiza- tion whose current status is that of a has been in the Eastern Conference. Jordan's acquisition could make the Hornets an attrac- tive option for free agents and Jordan's money could make the salaries offered to players on par with the rest of the league. In addition to the Jordan's stature and money, Michael Jordan is one of best basketball minds in the game. However, it is unknown whether his on-coun acumen will extend to the front office. The team is currently bound to mediocrity brought on by poor per- sonnel decisions. Jordan's input would give the Charlotte front office instant credibility and a knowledge for the game that only the greatest to ever play the game could posses ? ?: ?????'?irf - aM 10 TMriiy, ?HI 8. 1889 sports THE EA8T CAROLINIAN Lindros recoves after lung injury Injury accund after beingcmss-checked PHILADELPHIA (AP)Eric Lindros's lung was expanding again and most of the fluid has drained from his chest cavity after doctors began treating the Philadelphia Flyers star for a collapsed right lung. Doctors reported Saturday on the condition of Lindros, 26, who was apparently injured Thursday after being cross-checked during the Flyers' 2-1 victory at Nashville. Television replays showed Lindros falling on his stick in the first peri- od. Lindros, of Canada, spoke with reporters in the dressing room for several minutes after the victory and did not appear to be in pain. He awoke Friday morning with chest pain and went to the hospital. Nearly three quarts of bloody fluid filled into the space where the lung collapsed, and doctors at the hospital drained the fluid with a chest tube. Team physician Dr. Gary Dorshimer said doctors insert- ed a vacuum pump in the lung to help re-expand 3it. "Eric is a big piece of this team. Somebody else has to pick it up and step up center Marc Bureau said after a 3-0 loss in Boston on Saturday. Lindros, who is being treated by Predators team physician Dr. Richard Garman, will stay in Baptist Hospital in Nashville at least until Tuesday to make sure the lung is working properly. He will probably be moved from intensive care to a regular room on Sunday, Dorshimer said. Lindros was coming off a two- game suspension when the injury occurred. He will probably miss the rest of the regular season and his status for the playoffs remains unclear. The injury could not have come at a worse time for the injury- wracked Flyers, who have seen their chances of going deep in the playoffs diminished. "Put it this way: We have a lot bigger chance with him. Wc need him back Flyers winger Mikael Renberg said. "But whatever hap- pens, if he can't come back, we got to do it without him. It's going to be tough, but we've got a good team still In addition to Lindros, the Flyers played Saturday without sec- ond leading-scorer John LcClair, who has an injured back; right wing Mark Recchi, who complained of headaches and nausea; and top defenseman Eric Dcsjardins, out with a torn left anterior cruciate lig- ament. "It's tough for any team if you take away the team's top scorers said Flyers coach Roger Neilson. On the bright side, Dorshimer said Recchi was feeling much bet- ter. The team was initially con- cerned that Recchi's condition might be related to a March 22 con- cussion that kept him out of the lineup for three games. But Dorshimer said the nausea and headaches were probably caused by a combination of insom- nia, the stress of traveling, and lack of conditioning from his time off. Recchi, who told Dorshimer he felt "back to normal will be evalu- ated again Sunday. Boozer announces he will attend Duke First choice to UCLA and St. John's AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP)When you think of Alaskan pipelines, you generally think of oil being transported, not basketball players. But Duke University has found a pretty nice lode of hoop talent in the Great North. Five days after Trajan Langdon played his last game for the Blue Devils, fellow Alaskan Carlos Boozer, Jr. announced that he, too, would attend Duke. The 6-foot-9 forward from Juneau had narrowed his choices to Duke, UCLA and St. John's before making his announcement at the Magic Johnson RoundbaH Classic Saturday at the Palace of Auburn Hills. "It's just a great situation for me Boozer said. "To go in and have a good time, play for a great coach, to play for a team that has a chance to win a national champi- onship Boozer averaged 30 points, 12 rebounds, two steals, three blocks and three assists for Juneau- Douglas High School. Some of his accomplishments include being named Alaska Player of the Year, Gatorade Player of the Year and Parade All-American. Boozer led his team to back-to- back state titles and was team MVP three years in a row. Baseball continued from page 9 Carolina last Wednesday night. The Pirates were out hit 11-8 in the game and gave up two errors in the loss. "That Coastal game was kind of a freak, one of those weird things. We had a lot of anger built up inside of us and we pulled every- body together after that game to play our best game against William and Mary Friday night, Salargo said. "They're a good ball club and they're going to compete with us. We just hung in there and bat- tled tonight. Baseball's a crazy sport and sometimes stuff like this happens, but we stayed in here and battled Their next conference action will be this weekend at Virginia Commonwealth.

(AP)The emergence of several younger play- ers has prompted the Carolina Panthers to cut Mark Carrier, the club's all-time receptions leader. Carrier, 33, who caught 176 pass- es for 2547 yards with Carolina but had just 19 receptions for 301 yards last year, was released Thursday by new coach George Seifert. "Mark's a player who has obvi- ously meant a lot to the Carolina Panthers during the team's first four seasons Seifert said. "Mark will always be held in high esteem by everyone in the Panthers' organiza- tion, but we feel that we have a good group of young receivers who need to develop That group is headed by Muhsin Muhammad, a second-round draft pick in 19, and Rae Canuth, the Panthers' top selection in the 1997 draft. Both have shown promise when not sidelined by injuries. The Panthers, who lost free- agent wide receiver Raghib Ismail to the Dallas Cowboys last week, also are pleased with the progress of two wideouts they drafted last year. "Mark will always be held in high esteem by everyone in die Panthers' organization, but we feel that we have a good group of young receivers who need to develop George Seifert Head Coach Donald Hayes, a fourth-round selection, and Jim Turner, a sev- enth-round pick, both were side- lined by injuries for extended peri- ods in 1998 but looked solid when healthy. Also Thursday, the Panthers re- signed unrestricted free-agent cor- nerback Steve Lofton, who had been claimed off waivers from New England midway through the 1998 season and started seven games for Carolina. The Panthers also waived line- backer Ray Farmer, who failed his physical. ; Truth,Equality, Justice ? 123 WSt. Greenville ?Speeding Tickets ?Driving While Impaired ?Drug Charges ?All Criminal Matters ?Free Consultation 752-0952 atre enhall? ay k. ; 1 se a or a ance. -$15.00 endenhali 1 tTO, s. ion.

Apply for a job at oastcarolinian today! It it just a phase your child is going through? Or is his life in danger? The threat comes from inhalants, which are ordinary household products that kids sniff to get high. Half of all 14-15 year olds have been offered inhalants and almost one in five 8 graders has tried them. Few realize that just one sniff can cause death, or that chronic users can suffer severe and permanent brain damage. The tell-tale signs of inhalant use include slurred speech, glassy eyes and the smell of chemicals on clothes. Sniffers may also suffer nose bleeds, sores or rashes around the nose and mouth, or a sudden lose of appetite. Warn your kids before its too late, because we don't recommend the other means of detection. It's called an autopsy.
