ISSUE 43 Student falls victim to armed robbery Police have no firm leads on suspects Holly Harris NEWS EDITOR A Garret Hall resident was robbed at gunpoint in the parking lot west of Aycock Hall last Thursday night. According to a police report, two young white males in a teal car stopped 18-year-old Shaun Foran around 9:15 p.m. under the pre- tense that they needed directions. Capt. Frank Knight of the ECU police department said that after Foran provided the directions and began to walk away, the men called him back to the car, and the passen- ger brandished a 9 mm handgun and demanded F'oran's watch. After Foran gave the perpetrator his watch, the men backed out of the parking lot and drove away. Though Foran reported the inci- dent to campus police, the Highway Patrol, local authorities have been notified to be on the look out for the car and the two men. Knight said there were no witnesses other than the victim and no progress has been made in the case. Foran was not available for com- ment. "At this time we don't have any firm leads on the suspects or the suspects' car Knight said. "We have an investigator on the case According to Knight, this is the only armed robbery that has occurred on campus in about two years. "We don't think there is any big concern, but everyone should be careful Knight said. "If anyone drives up to you, do not approach the vehicle. The safest thing would be to go directly into a dormitory The police department has increased the number of officers cir- culating on foot and bike patrols for the College Hill and the residence hall area of west side of campus. Three stabbed at downtown night club Bouncers attacked atPantana Bobs Amy Wagner assistant news editor A man was arrested early Sunday morning for stabbing three bounc- ers in a local night club. According to a police report, William Donald Poland Jr 24, was arrested for three felony counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury. The incident happened in Pantana Bob's night club, located on Cotanche Street, a downtown night spot frequented by ECU stu- dents. A news release said that after Poland was removed from the club for disruptive behavior, his friends began fighting with the bouncers. Poland went back inside the club, where the bouncers again grabbed him. He then stabbed the victims with a folding blade knife. According to Ja.son Blackman, a sophomore who was at the club that night, it was obvious that something was going on, but the crowd pre- vented him from seeing anything. "A fight broke out, but that's not uncommon Blackman said. "The next thing I knew people were talking about the bouncers getting stabbed A representative from Pantana Bob's would not comment on the incident. "I didn't get a look at any bouncers, but I saw a lot of blood on the sidewalk outside Blackman said. The police report also said that Poland had used alcohol and drugs prior to the stabbing.

Erica S i k e s Last Friday, the city of Greenville gathered at Harrington Field to raise money and walk for cancer, a disease that has taken the lives of many and changed the lives of survivors. The 24-hour walk around the track began at 3:30 on Friday afternoon. It con- tinued throughout the entire night. At 7:00 p.m tents were pitched and grills were fired up to accom- modate the walkers with hamburg- ers and hot dogs. "We had a very big turnout this year said Amy Beach, 1999 Relay Chair. "We had teams partici- pate in the activities "We would, however like to see more ECU faculty and Student Professional Organizations next year Beach said.

According to Marcus Fredrick of The Ledonia Wright Center, 250- 300 students gathered on campus for the annual Heritage Festival at the amphitheater on west campus. The rally was held at the start of the festival. Fredrick said he and Na'im Akbar, Gillian Thompson and Adrian Cox started the rally under the umbrella of the Minority Student Coalition. "We took the opportunity of the gathering of students to inform them about the B.O.T members' comments Akbar said. "We want- ed to explain exactly what the com- ment meant. Williams said in an address to the Cape Fear chapter of the pirate club that there was a "nigger in the woodpile" if the men's basketball team does not begin to win with new coach Bill Herrion Groups present at the rally included the ECU chapter of the NAACP, the Black Student Union, A.B.L.E Alpha Kappa Alpha and the National Pan Hellenic Council, among others, according to Fredrick. "We basically wanted to inform everybody of what had happened Fredrick said. "Not everyone on campus is aware of Mr. Williams' remarks Fredrick also said that the rally was held to let people know what the minority leaders on campus were doing about Williams' com- ment. Some students that attended the Heritage Festival said they were pleasantly surprised by the rally. "I wasn't expecting it said Brad Calhoun, sophomore.

PHOTO Bf MICHAEL SMITH Campus is preparing for the begin- ning of several new construction projects slated to begin as early as this summer. Preparation work on the new 249,000 square-foot Science and Technology Building begins this summer and will result in the clos- ing of Founder's Drive from Christenbury to the English Annex. A temporary road servicing con- struction and maintenance vehicles as well as emergency vehicles will connect East Tenth Street to Founder's Drive. No other traffic will be permitted. This will result in the loss of 42 resident parking spaces east of Umstead. However, the 17 staff parking spaces behind Flanagan will be changed into resi- dent.

ARTIST RENDERING 2 Tun��y, April 27, 1998 news The East Carolinian New masters Many required classes to be offered online program offers of science degree Tkrra Si kinbkiskr STAff WIITKI Recently, the UNC Board of Governors approved a new degree program for ECU's School of Industry and Technology. Starting next month, the school will offer a master of science degree in occupa- tional safety and health. The program began four years ago as a concentration in a masters in industrial technology. Since then, it has generated a lot of stu- dent interest and has grown rapidly � much to the delight of the School of Industry and Technology. Rape suspect indicted on firearms charge CHARLOTTE (AP) A Charlotte man serving prison time " in Virginia for molesting a girl and awaiting trial on child kidnapping and rape charges has been charged with federal firearms violations. A federal grand jury charged Robin Wayne Martin, 42, of pos- sessing machine guns, submachine guns and silencers. He also is charged in the indictment. "It was obvious very early on that the program was going to be popular, so we began the adminis- trative process of turning it into its own degree program said Darryl Davis, dean of the School of Industry and Technology. Many of the classes required for this new degree will be offered on- line. "This is an important part of the program because we'll have people from all over North Carolina and the United States taking these courses Davis said. "There will still be some required lab compo- nents that students will have to complete, but a lot of the require- ments will-be done on-line Courses available on-line will range from such basics as Introduction to Safety Management, all the way up to more specific classes like Fire .news briefs unsealed Wednesday, of attempt- ing to manufacture, transfer or pos- sess assault-style weapons. Martin was convicted in Virginia in September 1997 of molesting an 8-year-old girl. Safety and Hazardous Communication. ECU will join Murray State University, Indiana University of Pennsylvania, West Virginia State University and Indiana University as the only schools in the nation to offer an accredited program in occupational safety and health at the master's level, according to John Durham, director of news and communication services. "Making this program into a degree that stands alone is going to benefit both students and prospec- tive employers because occupa- tional health and safety is such a broad field Davis said. Graduates typically pursue careers as insurance loss control representatives, safety program directors in medium to large indus- tries and safety consultants. Construction CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 also be closed. If students would like to find out more about parking and traffic changes this summer, information can be found at www.ecu.eduservicesparkadjust.h tm. The Board of Governors has also approved three other construction projects to enlarge campus offer- ings. The first of these is a $2.9 mil- lion materials warehouse that will be built on Dickinson Avenue. The warehouse will handle shipping and receiving as well as store some materials. Bruce Flye, director of Facilities Planning said that the new facility will be larger and better than the current warehouse. This building will satisfy the need to get the facil- ity off of central camps, and the location on Dickinson will conve- niently serve both the School of Medicine and the main body of campus. Jones Hall will also undergo extensive renovations. As part of a 2 12 piece, $18.5 million project, the first phase will include renovations to the old dining hall. The changes will include a slight expansion that will affect the dimensions of the Galley. The second phase of the Jones renovations will include equipping the entire building with air conditioning. There will also be a juice and desert bar, a fitness cen- ter, an online coffee bar, study areas and activity areas which will give students an entertainment alterna- tive to going downtown. Students say they will have to see what the new facilities have to offer before deciding if they will spend their recreation time there. "It may be a nice place, but it depends on what they have to offer said freshman Colleen Sherrill. "It depends on how enter- taining it will be There will also be a new chiller plant installed on College Hill. The chiller plant will allow all halls on College Hill to eventually be equipped with air conditioning. "One chiller plant will result in huge energy savings Flye said "The plant will ensure that a hall doesn't go without air condition- ing If the chiller mechanically failed in any way, the hall would lose its air conditioning. With the addition of the new plant which will have several chillers, no one hall would lose its air conditioning. The third project is the con- struction of a $10.6 million strength and conditioning center between Minges and Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium. The 20,000 square-foot facility will have a recruit dining area, kitchen, study areas, a track, an agility area, a plyometric training area, a large area for free-form lift- ing, a number of aerobic training units, as well as a 500-seat banquet hall. "It is one of the biggest spaces in the country Flye said. He also said that the banquet hall will be a much needed asset to. the city of Greenville. "All of the different types of- training we can do will be con- tained to that facility said Jeff Connors, director of strength and conditioning. Students said they think the complex is a good idea as long as numerous people can take advan- tage of the facilities. "There are more important things to spend $10.6 million on. Hopefully it will be open to all stu- dents said Kmily Miller, junior science education major. The East Carolini Female jail guard gets probation for having sex with inmate SPRINGFIELD, Ga. (AP) A former Effingham jailer has been sentenced to two years probation for having sex with an inmate at the Effingham Countyjail. Kay C. Stone, 50, of Springfield, was convicted Friday of sexual assault against a person in custody by Superior Court Judge Faye Sanders Martin, who also handed down the sentence. Ms. Stone was also fined $2,000 in lieu of a 90-day sentence in a women's detention center. Two of Ms. Stone's former coworkers are accused of taking bribes of as little as $20 to allow male inmates to visit female inmates. Former jailers Jerry W. Hall, 47, and Toby Lee Tittle, 24, both of Guyton, face bribery charges. Stabbing continued liom page 1 $300,000 bond. Officers arrested Poland in the Chico's parking lot. He cooperat- ed, leading police to the knife which was hidden in the bushes behind the club, a news release said. Students say that they are used to seeing fights downtown, but this stabbing is on a whole other level. "It's really scary that people think it's necessary to bring a knife downtown said Brad Calhoun, sophomore. "I hope 1 don't give the wrong look to some crazy per- son that will stab me. It makes me think twice about going downtown There was also a stabbing this weekend at Tar River Estates. According to a police report, an altercation erupted between five- individuals. Three of the individu- als suffered cut wounds and were treated at University Medical Center. The incident, which involved knives, is still under investigation. Relay For Life continued liom page I with the disease and to support those who had overcome the dis- ease.

For i good lint all: KUStaoVolUotaHotitiic officials feel that the plan will result in a more effective use of space throughout the 16 campuses of the UNC system. So far, representatives at the tar- get schools said they arc generally excited about the prospect of increasing their enrollment. "We feel very good about the proposal said Frank Prochaska, Vice Chancellor of Academic Affairs at Western Carolina University. "Of course, when you plan to grow like that you will encounter problems, but we feel confident that we can handle them There are currently 6,200 students enrolled at Western Carolina. Officials at Elizabeth City State University, which has 1,950 current students, feel much the same way. "We're very supportive of the system's growth plan and feel that it will be beneficial to the system as a whole said Marsha McLean, director of university relations at ECSU. Since ECU is the third largest university in the state, this particu- lar plan will have only a small effect in enrollment, despite the fact that the school hopes to increase growth. Earlier this year, ECU expressed the desire to increase enrollment to anywhere between 25,000 and 27,000 students in the next ten years. Under the BOG plan, ECU will eventually increase up to 24,000 students in 2008. "The general administration is aware of our goals, but it isn't the highest priority right now said John Durham, director of news and communication services. One of the greatest problems in implementing the plan will be building sufficient facilities and financing the estimated $7.4 billion price tag that will go along with it "Before any significant growth can take place, we need to get the facilities Durham said. "We're maxed out right now "We need to start building resi- dence halls now if Western Carolina is going to grow as planned Prochaska said. BOG members will review the plan each year to evaluate its effec- tiveness to ensure that future needs are not undermined by the program. s a 1 � i j$� SCSI 16 stance and disposed of the same.

Williams made a comment in reference to this seasons basketball team and its new coach, later saying his comment was mistakenly taken as a racial slur. The comment, "nigger in the woodpile is an old saying from an old era. If it ever was acceptable, then aren't we thankful we are not of that era. In a time when peo- ple used wood to heat buildings, did they assume that if wood was found missing, an African-American was stealing the wood? Williams may have lived most of his life in an era when this comment would have been acceptable, but in the late 90's this is inexcusable. Just because the 69-year- old Williams was raised in an age when African-Americans were not allowed to drink from the same fountain, use the same bathroom, eat at the same restaurants or sit together on the bus with whites, does not excuse the comment. People who grew up before the Civil Rights Movement should embrace changes, not hold on to a way of life that was wrong and is no more . We shudder to think Williams may have made comments of this nature before in private crowds where no one raised an eyebrow. We hope the lesson to administra- tors and the community alike is not merely to be careful of where they make com- ments, but to evaluate their fundamental attitudes and behaviors toward minorities. This university is composed of 2,159 African-Americans whose presence must be embraced. Shame on any administrator who merely tolerates minorities or worse, never stops to evaluate the positive attributes which increasing multi-culturalism brings to our cajnpus. We not only have an opinion, we would like to suggest a solution. We recognize and appreciate the tireless efforts of Williams over the years. We understand his heartache over loosing a leadership position at an institution to which he clearly has devoted himself. Instead of stripping his name from the collesium or dismantling the scholarship fund he and his wife recently established, let's give him an oppor- tunity to continue giving and help in the healing of a campus hurt by his words. We suggest Williams continues to contribute � this time, in the name ofcultural diver- sity and racial healing. Obviously, racial issues can divide the spirit of East Carolina University. This inci- dent should be a catalyst for programs which challenge students of all races to com- bat the legacies of bygone era. LETTER to the Editor Chancellor calls for healing of community The events that culminated in the resignation of Walter Williams from the East Carolina Board of Trustees this week serve as a stark reminder of the power of words to divide us. I hope that as we move to put this incident behind us, we can use it as a lesson on the need for thoughtful- ness, for consideration and for mutual respect. This is a situation that has no winners. Many are hurt because of Mr. Williams' words. Others are saddened because his talents will no longer be available in a leader- ship position at the university. The fabric of our community has been torn. I am sorry for the hurt that has been caused. I regret that the state- ment was made. It was wrong. But it cannot be unmade. Words once spoken or written cannot be unspo- ken or unwritten. It is important now that we move ahead together, that we embrace a healing in our community. I hope that as we move ahead we can all take to heart the truths that these events have reminded us of: Our words can have tremendous effect. They can uplift, inspire, teach and motivate. And they can injure, insult, degrade and divide. We should choose and use our words carefully, ever mindful of how they might be heard and seen by others. This incident, as painful as it is, offers us an opportunity to grow as an academic community. If we can recommit to strength in diversity and to the need to treat others with dignity and courtesy, then we will have taken a critical step in that direction. Sincerely, Richard R.

But this brings up another point, where else are you going to go to school? UNC? Sure, go ahead. Be an elitist, sell-out. NC State? Well, I can't pick on NCSU too much. Those technical schools are a little bit "different At State, they work on something called tex- tiles. Ask anyone there what a tex- tile is, and you will get a lengthy explanation involving polymers and plastics. In other words, they are basical- ly building strategic doomsday weapons in Raleigh under the guise of a manufacturing school. And why do you think they are so good at football? They aren't just using those hormones on the cows in their agricultural college, I'll tell ya that. But we all know that ECU gets a bad rap across the state. The infa- mous E-ZU, that dern party school. There are some people who say that if you drive through Greenville, someone will throw a diploma in your car. Now that's not true, you have to stop first. But seri- ously, this is not some second-rate university with a bunch of easy classes. As evidence, I would like to present defense exhibit A, my report card. Lousy, bloody math course. To those who say that our admission standards let just about anyone in, I won't argue with them. Color me crazy, but I like going to an university that has a diverse group of about 18,000 people from all walks of life. They might not have all scored a 1300 on their SAT, but they're working just as hard as everyone else, if not harder. You can have your UNC-G and Appalachian State. Go ahead, apply to Duke and UNC-W. But I'll stay a Pirate until they kick me out or I graduate, whichever comes first. I'm the first to admit that I usually don't go all out with the school pride thing, but I'll defend my pur- ple and gold to any and all critics. Williams should play no role on campus I would like to respond to the recent events that have taken place regarding our university over the last couple weeks. First, I would like to say that for the first time in my life, I am ashamed to call myself a Pirate Club member. I can not believe I am a part of an organiza- tion that allows its officials to make openly racist comments and still be allowed to remain as a university spokesperson. This makes a major statement about our university sys- tem, and it is a disgrace to the good people of our organization and to the people of Eastern North Carolina. Not to mention the ulti- mate embarrassment of having Governor Jim Hunt call to ask for his resignation. Mr. Williams needs to resign immediately as Executive President of the Pirate Club and relinquish his representation as a university spokesperson. He does not represent me, nor does his name portray any type of positive image for himself, his company or our university. He should have been immediately asked to step down from all university positions and should not have been allowed to speak at any other university associated functions. No apology can make up for such a horrific error in judgment. When you assume a position of power or as an authority figure, you are held to a much higher set of moral and ethi- cal standards, and there is no room for error. Allowing him to remain only condones his behavior, and it means you are thinking only with your wallet rather than with your head. ECU has always been treated as the red-headed step-child of our state. We have enough enemies try- ing to push us down, so why shoot ourselves in the foot by keeping him around to further damage our image? We don't need any more help in that area. Raleigh and the News & Observer are already try- ing their best to promote a negative image of us. So why perpetuate it further by allowing him to continue as a university spokesperson? I actually would like to see you give him his million dollars back and then have his name removed from the basketball arena. His name, from this point on, will be associated with racism; every time it is mentioned , that's the first thing that will come to people's minds. That's not an association that our university needs. We should only address the arena by its proper name from here on out� Minges Coliseum. If I were Coach Gibson or any ECU basketball player, I would never want to set foot in that stnic- ture as long as it contains the Williams name. "Racist" Arena is not a place where we will be able to build a positive legacy and tradi- tion, as long as we have it associat- ed with Mr. Williams and his racial image. I do not want Walter Williams representing ECU in any capacity, whether Executive President, or even Chapter Representative. If he wishes to remain a Pirate Club member, that's his choice, but he should do so as a silent, nonactive member. I will seriously have to reconsid- er whether to renew my Pirate Club membership next year if he remains as Executive President, but I do plan to boycott all Trade Mart convenience stores as a result of his actions. I no longer want to associate or contribute to the efforts of anything associated with Mr; Williams. The only honorable thing for him to do would be to remove himself from all university posi- tions. He has already ruined his reputation, so why allow him to fur- ther damage ECU's? It doesn't matter when he grew up and how things were back then, that's no excuse, this is the 1990s, not the 1890s. : Allowing him to remain is eveni tually going to effect our university funding by those in Raleigh. This not only affects our athletic pro- gram but our university as a whole. Is he going to reimburse the uni- versity for all funds it is denied as a result of the fallout of his actions? I don't think so. Had this occurred at UNC-Chapel Hill, Duke or NC State, he would have been removed immediately. So why haven't we done that yet? Had a member of the coaching staff made a similar remark they would have been forced to resign immediately: Instead we have let it get so out of hand that the Governor has had to step in and take action.

April 20 1919 S LETTER Racism a problem for all students You do not have to be an African- American to he appalled by former BOT member Walter Williams racial remark. All that is required is intelli- gence, integrity and respect for your self and others. As students of this university, it is our responsibil- ity to voice our concerns when it comes to our universities' leaders. However, TEC article on April 11 did not respect or represent the opinions and concerns of all stu- dents. I believe that because this highly publicized issue is targeted at African-Americans, TEC took the safe approach by predominant- ly providing comments from the African-American population. In doing so, TEC could be doing more harm than good. Just because Williams' ignorant and racist remark was directed toward African-Americans, it does not make it their problem. Racism is everyone's problem. To combat racial problems on this campus and everywhere, it cannot be presented as only a problem of the wronged and discriminated. We will all be negatively affect- ed by racism if we do not speak up about it now. I encourage anyone who values the integrity of this school, anyone who is disgusted at Williams' comments and its reper- cussions to speak out, write letters, and make a difference in our uni- versity and community. Stephanie Marshall Junior LETTER to the Editor African-American accepts apology As a African-American alumnus of East Carolina, I would like to express my opinion on the entire situation. Being a member of the Pirate Club I have had the opportu- nity to meet Mr. Williams and truly believe that when he made the comments at the Pirate Club event in Wilmington that he didn't mean anything to offend anyone or hurt the image of the university he has supported so long. Mr. Williams admitted that he made a mistake, apologized and resigned from the Board of Trustees. In a world of where we have the 3-strikes you're out laws, Mr. Williams deserves to use his remaining strikes. I hope from Mr. Williams and continues to support the businesses of Mr. Williams, as he has always support- ed East Carolina University. The school I'm proud to be a graduate of.

Those who fall prey to it are the pranker's friends, enemies, or perhaps some random victim who's number was chosen from the phone book. According to Frank Mann, an ECU professional telecommunica- tions entertainment team manager, prank calls are just calls done with nothing but a good laugh in mind. A prank call isn't a form of harass- ment, it is merely a gift that you have had the joy of receiving. "Some people just take prank calls too seriously Mann said. With only two weeks left in the semester, some people still have not grasped the concept that you have to dial nine to order a pizza. "We get at least five calls a day where someone is trying to order a pizza said Max Houseworth, a res- ident of Clement Hall, whose num- ber is coincidentally 7577. "Sometimes we just pick up the phone and say 'Papa John's' and play along On a more serious level, there are threatening phone calls. These usually occur between ex- boyfriends and girlfriends who want nothing but revenge or to hear the other person's voice. These calls can be considered threatening and malicious, deserve to be taken seri- ously and should ALWAYS be reported to the proper authorities. "While most of the unwanted calls are harmless and non-threaten- ing, roughly 15 percent are threat- ening said Captain F. Knight of the ECU Police Department. "Most of the threatening calls made are somewhat sexual in nature and sexually explicit" The ECU Police Department encourages anyone feeling threat- ened or annoyed by unwanted calls to contact the department. "Right now, we do have the capability to trace calls that are made from one campus number to another campus number Knight said. "We are still working on the technology to be able to trace off-campus calls If you arc a victim of an unwanted phone call, you should make the caller aware that the call is unwanted and ask them to please not call you again. If the calls continue, you should alert the campus police. If the calls can be traced, the ECU police will more than likely confront the caller and issue them a campus appearance ticket. The caller, accord- ing to the extent of the phone call, will be assigned a fine or community service. In extreme cases your phone number can be changed. �Name changed to pr tect in the event of inves tigation Student obtains opportunity Exam stress contributes to student burnout Masters pro-am changes perspective I'm mi in (; 11. ii s SI.MOK U H I I'KH If the Masters of Arts International Studies, MAIS, Program has one promoter, it is Melanie Jolly.

Dr. Sylvia Henning, member of the board of directors for this masters program, happened to meet one Dr. Frank Chipasula. Dr. Chipasula, professor at University of Nebraska-Omaha, is originally from Malawi. Henning put Chipasula in touch with Jolly. When Jolly mentioned that her concentration, which all MAIS stu- dents must choose, is in environ- mental degradation, Chipasula said he had a friend who was the minis- ter of the department for Environmental Affairs in Malawi. "My position was to be an intern or assistant to the Environmental Division Officer (EDO) Jolly said. Malawi is divided into 24 dis- tricts, though Jolly would end up only visiting three. There is an EDO in each district. The relative- ly new department of Environmental Affairs is designed to be a coordinating body for all of Malawi's natural resources divi- sions. Malawi itself is a third world country with a population over nine million, which is slightly smaller than Pennsylvania. The official lan- guages are English and Chichewa. Jolly first traveled to the north- ern district of Nkhata Bay, near Lake Malawi. From there she visit- ed Mangochi, which is also on the lake. The EDO in this district was attempting to establish environ- mental clubs in the primary and secondary schools, so Jolly had the chance to travel to 11 randomly chosen schools in the area. "The kids were probably the best thing about being there Jolly said. "The kids are amazing Americans have it made, we have no idea The normal appearance for a Malawian child is a malnourished figure, characterized by a swollen belly, with sores on their arms and legs. "Looking at them you could see how poor they were but the thing that amazed me was how happy they were. They always had a smile on their faces But the question arose: how many of those children would last another year? "The majority of them won't Jolly said. The last district Jolly worked in was the worst area she had seen yet. "There was very little water she said. "The population is so huge they are farming on marginal land.

How many of these can you answer yes to? 1 am forgetful, tired, and bored with school. I am irritable and snap at people. I feel sad for no apparent reason. 1 have trouble sleeping because 1 worry about school. I get sick more than I used to. Communicating with others is a strain. If you answered "yes" several of these questions, you could be hav- ing a problem with school burnout. This time of year, with the abundance of tests, projects and papers due, it is a wonder that the downtown bars get any business at all. Professors trying to wind down the semester place additional pres- sure on students to do more work now than the rest of the year. This is also the time when all those assignments that you have known about since the beginning of the semester slowly creep up on you. For some students, burnout is more than just an end-of-the- semester phenomenon. They feel as though school will never end and that the pressure just keeps build- ing.

A change in majors and not enough seats in the program she wanted to get into put her into a world of stress. She feels that the university could do more to help students rather than pile on additional pres- sure. "There is really no way to get ahead or graduate early she said. "The lack of flexibility in the course load is really frustrating Neil Boardman, senior, had a similar experience. He feels that the university just doesn't put enough effort into helping students finish up and graduate on time. "There's a lot of red tape to go through to get anything accom plished Boardman said.

According to Al Smith, assistant director, there are four steps stu- dents should take to cope with events that cause stress and early burnout. , "First, try to identify symptoms of stress Smith said. "Do you lose sleep, eat more than usual, or seem especially nervous? How do you react under pressure?" After you isolate the symptom, try to understand what specifically is causing you to feel this way. Isolating your main stressors can help you to deal directly with what seems to be bothering you the most. The next step is often the hardest. "Take the time to relax and unwind Smith said. "Really, it's a skill that students need to work on, especially this time of year With all the pressures college entails, that may be easier said than done. But there are some things you can do in a short amount of time to refresh your mind and body, alt of which will help you to get through without getting burned out. Take some time to exercise and wsich your diet. Stimulants like caffeine will only excite your already jittery nerves. Avoiding stress and burnout simply takes a little bit of organiza- tion. Make to-do lists and cross of items as you complete them. Keep a day planner and don't try to take on more than you can reasonably handle. If you can't handle it all on your own, don't be afraid to ask for help. The Center for Counseling and Student Development offers work- shops to help students manage stress, and counselors can help stu- dents who need to talk out their problems one on one. Students also offer suggestions on avoiding burnout. "Make sure you know what is going on said Boardman. "Don't rely on other people to do things for you, or it could backfire "Take it one day at a time, get organized, and don't procrasti- nate Spinicci said. Malawi continued from page 8 She also observed the work th:u Malawian women must endure. "It's not uncommon to see a woman walking down the road with a baby on her back, a baby on her front, a huge, huge load of wood strapped on top of her heai' and carrying something in both hands. Her husband is walking ahead of her carrying nothing After her four month sojourn. Jolly found it hard to readjust to life in the States. "There's just so much guilt. I'm putting myself through school, I have a one bedroom apartment, am a full-time student, I don't make any money. So by standards here, I'm relatively poor she said. "But there, I've never been so wealthy in all my life Jolly plans to take off a year after receiving her masters. She hopes to either go for her doctorate or get a job at a non-governmental, environmental organization. rfppartij I QnOQPmpml Aoartments & Rental Houses pf� A� im � rv� ivmnkn r�� ; � & (252) 758-1921 .

Jolly first traveled to the north- ern district of Nkhata Bay, near Lake Malawi. From there she visit- ed Mangochi, which is also on the lake. The EDO in this district was attempting to establish environ- mental clubs in the primary and secondary schools, so Jolly had the chance to travel to 11 randomly chosen schools in the area. "The kids were probably the best thing about being there Jolly said. "The kids are amazing Americans have it made, we have no idea The normal appearance for a Malawian child is a malnourished figure, characterized by a swollen belly, with sores on their arms and legs. "Looking at them you could see how poor they were but the thing that amazed me was how happy they were. They always had a smile on their faces But the question arose: how many of those children would last another year? "The majority of them won't Jolly said. The last district Jolly worked in was the worst area she had seen yet. "There was very little water she said. "The population is so huge they are farming on marginal land.

How many of these can you answer yes to? I am forgetful, tired, and bored with school. I am irritable and snap at people. I feel sad for no apparent reason. 1 have trouble sleeping because I worry about school. I get sick more than I used to. Communicating with others is a strain. If you answered "yes" several of these questions, you could be hav- ing a problem with school burnout. This time of year, with the abundance of tests, projects and papers due, it is a wonder that the downtown bars get any business at all. Professors trying to wind down the semester place additional pres- sure on students to do more work now than the rest of the year. This is also the time when all those assignments that you have known about since the beginning of the semester slowly creep up on you. For some students, burnout is more than just an end-of-the- semester phenomenon. They feel as though school will never end and that the pressure just keeps build- ing.

A change in majors and not enough seats in the program she wanted to get into put her into a world of stress. She feels that the university could do more to help students rather than pile on additional pres- sure. "There is really no way to get ahead or graduate early she said. "The lack of flexibility in the course load is really frustrating Neil Boardman, senior, had a similar experience. He feels that the university just doesn't put enough effort into helping students finish up and graduate on time. "There's a lot of red tape to go through to get anything accom plished Boardman said.

According to Al Smith, assistant director, there- are four steps stu- dents should take to cope with events that cause stress and early burnout. , "First, try to identify symptoms of stress Smith said. "Do you lose sleep, eat more than usual, or seem especially nervous? How do you react under pressure?" After you isolate the symptom, try to understand what specifically is causing you to feel this way. Isolating your main stressors can help you to deal directly with what seems to be bothering you the most. The next step is often the hardest. "Take the time to relax and unwind Smith said. "Really, it's a skill that students need to work on, especially this time of year With all the pressures college entails, that may be easier said than done. But there are some things you can do in a short amount of time to refresh your mind and body, all of which will help you to get through without getting burned out Take some time to exercise and wsich your diet. Stimulants like caffeine will only excite your already jittery nerves. Avoiding stress and burnout simply takes a little bit of organiza- tion. Make to-do lists and cross of items as you complete them. Keep a day planner and don't try to take on more than you can reasonably handle. If you can't handle it all on your own, don't be afraid to ask for help. The Center for Counseling and Student Development offers work- shops to help students manage stress, and counselors can help stu- dents who need to talk out their problems one on one. Students also offer suggestions on avoiding burnout. "Make sure you know what is going on said Boardman. "Don't rely on other people to do things for you, or it could backfire 'Take it one day at a time, get organized, and don't procrasti- nate Spinicci said. Malawi continued from page 8 She also observed the work ths; Malawian women must endure. "It's not uncommon to see a woman walking down the road with a baby on her back, a baby on her front, a huge, huge load of wood strapped on top of her heai' and carrying something in both hands. Her husband is walking ahead of her carrying nothing After her four month sojourn, Jolly found it hard to readjust to life in the States. "There's just so much guilt. I'm putting myself through school, I have a one bedroom apartment, am a full-time student, I don't make any money. So by standards here, I'm relatively poor she said. "But there, I've never been so wealthy in all my life Jolly plans to take off a year after receiving her masters. She hopes to either go for her doctorate or get a job at a non-governmental, environmental organization. ripperty I Qnog�m�n' Aoortmonb & Rentoi Houses PO R� Kn � VA IVr� Mot ; � 4 r-vio Nrvth Crvnlr� 97IWS-fW (262) 758-1921 � FAX (252) 757-7722 r�1 T Langston Park Apartments Two Bedroom Units A 0 KITCHEN feint HMtUji ASK ABOUT SECURITY DESPOSIT SPECIALS LIVING ROOM bath Free Water and Sewer Central Heat & Air Dishwasher RefrigeratorStove WasherDryer Hook Ups Mini-Blinds Dead bo It Locks Each Unit Has a Patio or Balcony Pets Allowed with Pet Fee All Apartments Just 5 Blocks from ECU Campus 1 Block from ECU Bus route 24hr Emergency Maintenance Service Wesley Commons South j OneTwo Bedroom Units 1bath Free Water and Sewer Central Heat & Air in 2 Bdrms Wall AC Unit in 1 Bdrms RefrigeratorStove WasherDryer Hook Ups Mini-Blinds Deadbolt Locks and Hall Closets 1st Floor Patio with Fence 2nd Floor Front or Back patio Pets Allowed with Pet Fee ���� "X EOT tS IS All Apartments Just 5 Blocks from ECU Campus On Site Laundry Facilities On ECU Bus route gai -ma Tin East Carolinian sports 9 Tuaadiy, April Tuesday.

K Coming off a non-conference loss to interstate rival UNC-Chapel Hill, ECU Softball bounced back over the weekend to defeat UNC Charlotte on the road. There was no home turf advan- tage on Wednesday as Carolina snapped ECU's 12 game winning streak with a set of doubleheader defeats, 10-3 and 6-5. After being named Big South Pitcher of the Week, Denisc Reagan struggled on the mound Wednesday. The loss put the star pitcher at 27-7 on the season. "I was really disappointed with today's outing said Tracey Kec, head coach. "We really struggled at the plate and stranded numerous batters The Pirates managed to pull out a doubleheader conference win over UNC Charlotte on the road this weekend. Led by senior slugger Isonette Polonius, ECU beat Charlotte in a 6-0 shutout then again in a 17-9 slamming in game two. The wins were numbers 40 and 41 for the season, making this the 6th consecutive year that ECU has notched over 40 victories. "We have a lot of fun, which helps us be successful as a team said Addie Chlebnikow, freshman. Polonius' 15th and 16th home runs on the season helped to put ECU in the standings, out hitting UNCC11-6.

ECU took Friday's win 14-4 after a rain delay, then they went on to win on Saturday 9- 2 and finished with the disappoint- ing loss on Sunday afternoon 6-2. "We didn't do a very good job offensively at the plate. We had too many non-quality outs during the game which will always get you in trouble said, Keith LeClair, head coach. "I thought Foye pitched well for the most part and the defense was good In Sunday's loss the Pirates were held hitless for the first five innings of the contest and only managed to put down four hits the entire game tying their lowest hit total of the season. ECU's poor performance came after two games of over- whelming hitting displays with 29 hits in the two days combined. "I was really surprised to see the Pirates struggling so much at bat. After the way they played on Friday and Saturday, either Bailey was a heck of a pitcher or the Pirates just did not come to play said Heather Burgess, senior. But Monarch starter David Bailey seemed too much for ECU as he shut down their first nine bat- ter straight. He did not allow a hit until the sixth inning when with two outs and the bases loaded Chad Tracy hit a single which scored both Steve Salargo and John Williamson. "We are still in good shape. though LeClair said. "We took two-of-three from a solid confer- ence opponent and that is what you always hope for. Now we just have to get it back together and get ready for another game ECU's overall record fell to 35- 10 and 11-3 and the CAA after the defeat. With Sunday's win ODU ended an eight game CAA losing streak and gave ECU alumni and ODU head coach his 600th career coaching win. Foye Minton(7-4) saw 6.0 innings on the mound and gave up eight hits, five runs, two walks with five strikeouts. Adam Reikowski finished the game for ECU pitching two scoreless innings.

Morgan, who has been involved with tennis since the age of 10, played her last and final match dur- ing the CAA Tournament as the team placed seventh out of the nine teams present. "I've enjoyed this year the most said Morgan. "I may teach some lessons in the future, but for the most part I'm done playing Morgan completed her career under the new head coach Tom Morris along with a very young team consisting of mainly freshmen and sophomores. Although the sea- son was not perfect, Morgan did win a tough three set match against Georgetown in singles and doubles as well. "I think Catherine has shown a lot of leadership and maturity said Morris. "She has played hard every time she's been out there Coming out of high school in 1995, Morgan brought with her an overall record 68-2 and was named Washington High Female Athlete of-the-Year.

Parnevik wins Greensboro Chrysler Classic GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) - Jesper Parnevik's tee shots got so bad during the final round of the Greater Greensboro Chrysler Classic that he started hoping they would just end up in the rough. At one point, he told his caddy, Lance Ten Broeck, that he had no idea where the next drive might end up. Despite the erratic driver, Parnevik was still finished with a 2- under 70 and close out a record-set- ting victory on Sunday. Parnevik hit just five fairways off the tee but still finished the tourna- ment at 23-under par, breaking by six shots the 72-hole scoring record for the tournament since it moved to Forest Oaks Country Club in 1977. Sandy Lyle and Ken Green set the previous mark of 17-under- par 271 in 1988. Lyle won that year in a playoff. Parnevik's four-day 265 was the best on the tour this year, beating by one stroke David Duval's 266 at the season-opening. "I really did struggle with my driving on the weekend Parnevik said. "Every time I hit a fairway, 1 made birdie. Apart from that, it was a struggle. The swing that I had on my irons that worked very well, did not work very well on my driver But he wasn't comfortable with his lead at "I stood over the ball (on the 16th tee) and just told my caddy, 'I have no idea where this is going to end up,� Parnevik said.

The Pirates got classic perfor- mances from the class of each team. Michelle Clayton and the men's 4x400 squad got third place fin- ishes in the pres- tigious event. Other Pirate competitors such as fresh- man, Toni Kilgore and the women's 4x200 meter relay put on strong perfor- mances as well. The Men's 4x400 squad came into the meet with a shot at taking home first place. In the finals the team started well. "We had a lead from the begin- ning said Head Men's Track Coach Bill Carson. "James (Alexander) got us the lead, (Darrick) Ingram got it bigger and Miller kept it. Damon (Davis) just got pushed by a real good runner. He probably should have backed off, but he just ran out of gas. 300 meters into it he had nothing left The squad finished third among college teams. "It's nice to be in position to win. We gave the maximum effort and just got beat Carson said. The 4x200 squad raced earlier in the meet. The team of Alexander, Toni FILE Davis, Lawrence, Ward and Ingram placed sixth. Throughout the 1999 track sea- son, there have been few constants. However, one thing has remained true. It is that Michelle Clayton will be at the top of the standings in any event she is in. 7 � At the Penn Relays, it was' no different. Clayton finished third in the shot put among college com- petitors. The women's 4x200 meter relav squad placed third among ECAC teams.The team of Nicky Coins, Rasheca Barrow, Tonya Little and Carmen Weldon finished ahead of seven other teams.

He was suspended for 60 days in 1995 after testing positive for cocaine and another positive test would be cause for another suspension, sev- eral baseball officials have said since the arrest. The two baseball officials said there was no conclusive agreement between owners and the players' association on the results of his most recent tests. Part of the prob- lem, one official said, may have been the timing of the test follow- ing his arrest the test may have occurred too late to detect any cocaine is his urine. Strawberry has a home in Tampa, Fla where the arrest occurred. He has been getting back into playing shape following colon cancer surgery last October and has wanted to resume workouts at the Yankees' minor league complex there. Yankees general manager Brian Cashman declined comment before the Yankees 7-4 win against Toronto. After the game, the Yankees players and coaches had little to add. "I ain't no lawyer, I don't know anything about it said Don Zimmcr, interim manager. In an unusual arrangement designed to avoid baseball's luxury tax, the team signed him to a minor league contract and a consulting deal during the offseason, a package worth $2.5 million. New York advanced Strawberry money due him under the consult- ing deal but stopped the advances after his arrest, several sources familiar with the arrangement have said on the condition they not be identified. Strawberry's lawyer, Joseph Ficarrotta, said his client intends to plead innocent to the charges of cocaine possession and solicitation of a prostitute. A hearing date has not been scheduled. Strawberry was arrested a few miles from the Yankees' extended spring training camp. The eight- rime All-Star wB charged with pos- session of 0.3 grams of cocaine and solicitation for offering an under- cover female officer $50 for sex. He was released on a $6,000 bond. Strawberry said the cocaine found wrapped in a $20 bill inside his wallet did not belong to him. And while he acknowledged dis- cussing sex with the undercover officer, he insisted he was joking and did not intend to meet her at a motel. Strawberry has a long history of drug and alcohol problems and run- ins with the law, including a convic- tion on federal tax charges. He hit .257 with 24 homers in 101 games for the Yankees last sea- son. Strawberry is not on the 40- man roster and has not traveled with the team this season, except in spring training. Former bookmaker Doyle warns athletes on gambling EUGENE, Ore. (AP) - The mes- sage to the assembled University of Oregon athletes -as to the point. "If you're dumb enough to gam- ble said former bookmaker Joey Doyle, "at least le smart enough to know what you're up against So in a one-hour session, Doyle presented his case against gam- bling, from the inside knowledge of someone who spent 15 years taking bets and profiting from the busi- ness of wagering, whether on sports or casino games. "What makes you guys suscepti- ble is you're very talented, you're the best at what you do, and you were taught to win Doyle told the members of the UO football and men's basketball team. "Those same characteristics that make you successful as an athlete make you vulnerable to gambling, and that's why you've got to be more careful Gamblers assume they can come out ahead, Doyle said, before he presented examples of how "the house" always profits, whether it's organized crime, corporations that own casinos or state governments running the game. "I can't believe it Doyle said of the state of Oregon. "You kids can't go buy a hot dog without trip- ping over 15 lottery machines Doyle said that while govern- ments "tell you state lotteries are good for education, good for the economy, good for the environment what they don't tell you is that fot every $1 that goes in, 50 cents is gone immediately" and not paid out to the gamblers. He also said that betting on sports events, whether legal or not, could be compared to flipping a coin and trying to predict the out- come, with money at risk. "If you call it correctly, I pay you $10 Doyle said. "If you don't, you pay me $11 The presentation began with a short video that included excerpts from several news reports on gam- bling by college students, and Doyle said he had been astonished when he made a presentation at Nebraska and found out how wide- spread betting was among stu- dents. "You've got to understand the risks you take Doyle told the ath- letes, explaining that even for a $50 wager with an illegal bookie, a bet- tor could face prosecution. "If you end up with an arrest record, understand what that means to you. Doyle also spoke about betting scandals involving teams at Northwestern and Arizona State. Most attempts to rig the outcome of events, he said, are arranged by "dummies because "the mob doesn't want fixed games" and often lielps expose the crime. While taking bets, Doyle said he recalled only three athletic events that he "took off the board mean- ing he refused to accept more wagering. His mob boss had infor- mation that all three had predeter- mined outcomes, he said, including a 1988 Olympic men's basketball game involving the United States. Mike Bcllotti, the UO football coach who attended the session with his players, said the purpose of the session was to let "athletes hear our concerns from different sources. I can't get their attention the way somebody who has been in the business can TH incidents at Northwestern and ASU and a recent probe of UCLA athletes allegedly in contact with possible gamblers show "those things are there Bcllotti said. "It's prevalent and we all need to recognize those predators are out there. I think it's our duty to educate our athletes to the potential harm that can be done and to the futility of gambling Collins to plead no contest on DWI charge, pay $100 fine (AP) - Quarterback Kerry Collins, who is starting a new phase 01 his NFL career with the New York Giants, plans to plead no contest Monday to driving while impaired in November. Attorney George Laughrun said Collins doesn't want to fight the charge. "Kerry said, 'I made a mistake. I want to pay my price. And I don't want to be treated any different than anybody else. I want to get this behind me Laughrun said. "I wanted to try it. But that's his call not mine Collins will not be in court for the trial in Mecklenburg District Court. Laughrun will enter Collins' plea. Defendants pleading no contest don't admit guilt but also don't challenge the charges. They are sentenced as if they pleaded guilty. Collins, 26, likely faces a $100 fine, the maximum monetary penalty for a first DWI conviction. He was signed in February by the Giants to a four-year, $16.9 million free-agent contract after being cut by the New Orleans Saints. In March, Collins said alcohol had played too much a part in his life, though he had not been diag- nosed an alcoholic. "My focus right now is to try and be the best quarterback I can be, and alcohol plays no part in that Collins told reporters after signing with the Giants. "It's not going to play any role in my life Collins has been working at the Giants mini-camp. Collins was arrested about 1 a.m. Nov. 2, just hours after being taunt- ed by Carolina Panthers fans. The Panthers' first-ever draft choice in 1995 had returned to Charlotte with his new team, the Saints. He had the team's permission to stay in the city after the Saints' 31-17 loss to the Panthers. A state trooper reported that Collins' car had weaved and crossed the center line. Collins refused to take a breath test at the Mecklenburg County Jail. He acknowledged his guilt' later that day. "I broke the law. It's a matter of' taking what's coming to me he told the Charlotte Observer. Till Etst Carolinian Greensboro continued from page 9 day 10 strokes behind Pamevik, shot a 68 Sunday and finished at 273. Dudley Hart carded a 72-274, alone in fourth place in the tourna- ment sponsored by Chrysler. The victory was a stunning turn- around for Pamevik, who was dis- qualified at last week's MCI Classic for using his glove to brush away debris in his putting line. He fired his longtime caddy, Brocck to carry his bag this week. cJlctolilllr-li-lriTHEilSlB ofinedi s Qaje 2905 E Sth Street, Greenville, NC � (252) 695-0020 Pasta � Pizza � Salads � Sandwiches � Homemade � Soups � Desserts Dine In or Take Out � Boxed Lunches Available Dining Room Open Mon-Thurs 10:30AM - 9PM Fri k Sat 1030AM - 10PM Closed Sundays � Full ABC Permits The Friends of Joyner Library will hold a booksale in the Mendenhall Multipurpose Room from 1 p.m. � 5 p.m. on Sunday, May 2, and from 8 a.m. - 3 p.m. on Monday, May 3.
