Student kidnapped and held at Motel 6 Victim robbed, later released unharmed Cory Sheri.kr news editor An ECU student was kidnapped, robbed and held against his will at the Motel 6 this weekend. According to a Greenville Police Department report, Seth D. Campbell was held against his will by Eddy Robert Damilowski. Campbell was found in a coordi- nated effort by ECU police and Greenville police on June 18. "Mr. Campbell reported that Mr. Damilowski asked for a ride to pick up his co.usin's car said Melissa Bartlett, public affairs coordinator. "When Mr. Campbell gave him a ride, Mr. Damilowski began threatening his life and ask- ing for all of his money. Mr. Damilowski than told Mr. Campbell that he wanted to go to a friends house to pick up some drugs. Damilowski is wanted for multiple charges. PHOTO COURTESY OF GREENVILLE POLICE DEPARTMENT "Mr. Campbell proceeded to call his roommate and tell him that he was in trouble. The Greenville Police then found them at the Motel 6 Bartlett said. Damilowski has eluded author- ities, and according to Bartlett, has not been apprehended. According to Bartlett, Damilowski has a history of asking people for rides and accosting them once he gains entrance to their car. "He was arrested July 22, 1997 for the same type of thing Bartlett said. "He's been doing the same type of thing for two summers now Damilowski was also arrested on June 13, 1999 for assaulting a police officer and possession of stolen, property. While Campbell was unavailable for comment, other students say they have been approached by a man, matching Damilowski's description and telling a similar story. "He came to my door at eight in the morning said Taylor Jones, sophomore.

"Rather than allocating capital money in the annual budget, the Legislature will instead put together a bond issuance for new construction that would cover construction for sev- eral years said Bruce Flye, director of Facilities Planning, Design and Construction. 'This would include the construc- tion of the Science and Technology building, the expansion of the Rivers building and a new building for Allied Health and Nursing on the Medical campus The cost for the Science and Technology building will be $58.6 million, according to Flye. The money for this construction will be through bonds, which will be paid ofT over time, rather than having all of the money up front as was previously done. There will also be renovations of the Student Health Center and the Flannagan building as well as a new Strength and Conditioning Center. "The construction of the Student Health Center will start sometime in the next forty-five days Flye said. "The cost will be $4,175 million, paid for by a bond liquidated by stu- dent fees The new Strength and Construction Center for the Athletic Department will be started, which was funded mainly by $8.5 million in private donations Flye said.

Sports related camps are: football, soccer, cheerleading, basketball, soft- ball, baseball and a specialized youth program offered by the Recreational Services Department Recreational Services offers three, two-week ses- sions of sports and activities for boys and girls between the ages of 7 and 12 for $155 per session. The camps run from 9am to 5pm Monday through Friday and offer activities such as ulti- mate frisbee, soccer and basketball. However, for a nominal fee of $15 per session, parents "can drop off their kids as early as 7 o'clock and pick them up as late as 6 o'clock accord- ing to Brian Weingartz, director of Recreational Services for Youth Summer Sports Camp. "Many of our kids are children of ECU faculty and staff employees and registration is still open Weingartz said. There are many academically ori- ented summer camps at ECU as well. Program such as Summer Ventures, Future Doctors and Ventures in Health Care Careers provide training in science and mathematics for career enhancement. According to Virginia Hardy, associate director of the Academic Support and Counseling Center, the premed program in Future Doctor's provides instruction in science courses designed to "make them the participants more compet- itive for medical school admission and prepare them for the MCAT For those with musical talent, die ECU School of Music offers several summer programs such as Band Camp, Guitar Camp, the Suzuki Institute and Choral Camp.

Company officials, and state and federal officials, gathered Monday at the site to talk about the cleanup and what it means to the waterfront. The chromium that pollutes the site has been sealed in underground walls of clay and layers of plastic, making it safe for development in the view of the Environmental Protection Agency. Jane Nishida, state secretary of the environment, said the AlliedSignal effort, carried out without state or fed- eral aid, "is a success in preventing continued degradation of the envi- ronment while restoring a contami- nated site to a useable property in a desirable location on the waterfront The plant processed chrome ore for 140 years before closing in 1985. Unknown quantities of chromium escaped from the plant and were washed into the soil, resulting in a con- stant stream of the dangerous heavy metal into the Baltimore Harbor. To stop the pollution, the com- pany dug trenches 60 feet or more to bedrock and filled them with three feet of clay. The area was sealed at the top with 15 acres of a multi-layer cap five feet thick. Extraction wells pump polluted water from the ground for process- ing at a treatment facility. Recent EPA tests have not found any chromium flowing from the site. Despite the EPA's seal of approval and the prime location, fears about possible future liability if pollution control measures fail may make it difficult for AlliedSignal to find a developer. Baltimore City Solicitor Otho Thompson said last week the city should not take responsibility for roads or a public park on the land because it would be open to a future lawsuit if pollutants leak from the site. C. William Struever, a developer of several projects along the harbor, said the city's position might make developers squeamish about envi- ronmental risks. "This location is magnificent, fabulous Struever said. "But the city's position makes it much tougher for the project to succeed Tom Crain, a spokesman for AlliedSignal, said the company is not worried about finding a developer. "The land, which was unuseable at one time, is now a prime piece of property in one of the East Coast's most appealing cities he said. State and federal officials are also positive about the cleanup effort that' AlliedSignal carried out undera 1982 consent decree. "The AlliedSignal remediation at Baltimore Harbor has features that the EPA would like to see in many more cleanups across the country said Timothy Fields, the director of EPA's site cleanup programs.

(AP) The U.S. Supreme Court, using a deci- sion it made earlier this month, has ordered the state to reconsider the death sentence of a Wayne County man sentenced partially on the hearsay testimony of an accomplice. The court told the state Supreme Court to reconsider the sentence of Edward Lemons, 26, who was convicted in August 1995 of the shooting deaths of Bobby Gene Stroud, 38, and Margaret Daniels Strickland, 35, both of Goldsboro. Testimony showed the murders were the result of a drug deal gone sour. The court said the sentence should be reconsidered in light of its June 10 decision in Lilly vs. Virginia. In that case, justices limit- ed the use of out-of-court state- ments by accomplices who admit to some wrongdoing but say the defendant played the primary role. Neither of Lemons' accomplices testified against him. But state- ments they made to others were brought out during the sentencing phase of the trial.

"We've offered it to 25 students, and 23 accepted it Sturm said, "and a lot of these people would not have come to ECU, but because of this opportunity, they decided to come here. It's helping us attract some top student leaders from around the area Sturm came to ECU in January 1997, after completing a graduate program at the University of Buffalo. While Sturm is excited about the potential that the Williams Scholarship program has, he has seen the most success in another program that his office conducts. "The Chancellor's Leadership program is the biggest success so far Sturm said. "It's mainly for sophomores and juniors who have been nominated by a faculty mem- ber. After they've applied for a spot, we select 60 people. They are then enrolled in the eight week program. "They meet with successful ECU alumni and successful com- munity members. The Chancellor presents one of the sessions; it's just a really neat program that helps with the development of profes- sional skills Chancellor Richard Eakin thinks the program is a perfect fit for the Student Leadership Development's curriculum of pro- grams. "I had a chance this year to be part of the seminars Eakin said. "I was intrigued by the level of intelligence of the students. I was very impressed by the level of con- versation that I was able to have with them Chancellor Eakin is also pleased with the performance of Sturm and the Student Leadership Development office. "I think Jim Sturm is doing an incredibly fine job at ECU for our students Eakin said. "He has brought the whole notion of leader- ship into a place at the university that I think it deserves Eakin is not the only one who thinks that Sturm's programs are a success. Many students have found these programs to be a benefit to their education. "The many activities involving critical thinking and problem solv- ing strengthened my ability to think critically, individually and as part of a group said Janine Reynolds, freshman. "These skills will help me in the future Reynolds said. PRISTINA Yugoslavia (AP) Even as peacekeepers began build- ing the foundations of peace in Kosovo, they couldn't escape the remains of war. Two NATO soldiers were killed in an explosion as they cleared ammunition from a desert- ed schoolhouse. The British army's Gurkha sol- diers were the first allied deaths since the peacekeepers entered Kosovo on June 12. But dozens of civilians already have died in similar explosions of land mines and booby traps since the peacekeepers began to take control. Two civilians also were killed in Monday's blast, and another was injured. He was being treated in a British field hospital in Pristina. The explosion occurred in a school in the village of Negrovce, 30 kilometers (20 miles) west of Pristina. British peacekeepers were inves- tigating the cause of the blast, and withheld the names of the soldiers of the 69th Gurkha Field Squadron riflemen from Nepal attached to the British peacekeeping force pend- ing notification of their relatives. U.S. President Bill Clinton, visit- ing the former Yugoslav republic of Slovenia, telephoned British Prime Minister Tony Blair to offer his con- dolences, officials said. In spite of the blast, peace appeared stronger than ever, with Albanian rebels pledging in a disar- mament pact with NATO to lay down their arms. The deal came just hours after the last of the 40,000 Serb troops left Kosovo. The 20,000 or so NATO-led KFOR troops now in Kosovo said they were moving beyond initial attempts to quell the violence and were beginning to look ahead by establishing security and laying the groundwork for democratic elections. "Very soon, KFOR will be the only military security presence here. That is how it should be peace- keeping chief Lt. Gen. Mike Jackson said Monday. One day earlier, Jackson received both confirmation that the Yugoslav military had withdrawn its forces from Kosovo and a pledge from the Kosovo Liberation Army to disband, put down its weapons and join efforts to establish peace in Kosovo. With the Serb forces' retreat con- firmed, NATO officially ended its air campaign. And on Monday, the Belgrade government took a recip- rocal step, asking parliament to end the state of war declared the day NATO launched its airstrikes, the state Tanjug news agency reported. Since March 24, the state of war has banned men of military age from leaving the country, let the army take over key institutions and subjected the news media to censorship. Still, reports of a media crackdown persisted. An umbrella group for Yugoslavia's fledgling independent radio and television broadcasters said the government was forcing stations replace their newscasts with those of the state-controlled networks. Meanwhile, the KLA agreed to a broad demilitarization that will require them to leave their check- points and halt any military activity unless the peacekeepers approve it first. Although they can keep their handguns, they agreed not to use explosives, to put remaining weapons in storage sites verified by NATO and to clear mine fields and booby traps within seven days. Already, many in the rank and file seemed to be complying. Former fighters will apply for posi- Budget continued liom page 1 Health Service. "The new building will be designed to be an outpatient, stu- dent-oriented facility Wilkerson said. "It will be more convenient and accessible for physically dis- abled students and will allow for more patient confidentiality with a paperless office. The constniction will not interfere with student care, though there may be some inconve- nience during constniction "The proposal in the General Assembly is for the UNC system to issue limited obligation bonds for state appropriated-type projects that would issued as moral obligations of the state, but not full faith obliga- tions, which require a vote of the cit- izens of the state said Richard Brown, vice-chancellor for finance and Administration. "What has been authorized to this point is $2.4 billion of Ixmds to support academic facilities in the UNC system, of which our share would be about $191 million Other plans for the future include renovations to Jones Residence Hall, a new dining hall on West Campus and a Parking Deck. The reason for the new method of funding to speed up construction is the additional 48,000 students in the UNC system expected to enroll within the next ten years.

Sergio Vieira de Mello, the U.M. official who essentially becomes Kosovo's governor under the peace deal, had expressed concern Sunday that KLA activities could undermine his authority. But on Monday, he praised the agreement, and set about the work of building peace. His tasks include getting elec- tricity, water and other municipal services working again across Kosovo; re-establishing civilian courts and police forces and prepar- ing for elections. Vieira de Mello said one of hit first acts would be to issue strict gun-control orders. for prospective students In addi- tion, it "allows the university to fulfill its missions of public service and pro- viding a safe, secure environment for learning Brogden said. A significant example of how the summer camps promote ECU recruit- ment is Tarrick Cox, Director of Legislator's School for Youth Leadership Development. The legislator's School is one of several leadership summer camps at ECU along with Upward Bound and Project Excel. Cox attended the Legislator's School in 1988 and cited his experience as the primary reason he chose to attend ECU as an under- graduate student, eventually graduat- ing from ECU in 19. According to Cox, "the basis of the school's leadership curriculum is The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Dr. Stephen R. Ckvey There are two sessions of the Legislator's School. .Session one is for rising 8th and 9th graders and session two is for high school students from grades 10 through 12. "Participants are nominated b) guidance counselors at their respec- tive schools Cox said. The 1997 interviews of Legislator's School par- ticipants were used to provide materi- al contained in The 7 Habits ol Highly Effective Teens by Sean Covey (Dr. Covey's son). The pro- gram, and Cox specifically, arc thanked in the Acknowledgement section on page 248 of the book. Cm believes the success of the prograrr can be reflected in the feedback ol proud parents. "A lot of parents saw a big change in their child from the time (he) dropped them off Cox said Examples of parents' comments are "I've seen a different level of commit- ment in my child "they are a lot more responsible and have a different attitude "we communicate better as a family "the skills you that you pro- vided for my child have really made i difference not only personally but aca- demically Cox said. mmfmtmmati 3 WrtmtoUnt B. q?? opinion The East Cirollnlm eastcarolinian llm.l.T tt.

While everyone enjoys progress, the price for such progress inevitably means more construction. It seems that everywhere you turn on campus, there are bright orange barrels and yellow tape warning us to stay away from a new construction site. Also, these projects that are being planned are funded with student fees. Because student fees are used to help finance some of these pro- jects, we wonder why the students were not consulted as to which projects were slated for approval. For instance, renovations to the Student Health Center will cost $4.1 million dollars. Perhaps the students would have rather had that much money allocated toward new dining halls. Maybe it would have been more feasible to take the money that students pay every semester and use it for the much debated, yet much needed parking deck. Although, the university plans to construct a new west campus dining hall and start renovations on Jones residence hall, these things will not be undertaken until the Student Health Center is renovated and the new Science and Technology building is completed. The new Strength and Conditioning Center will cost an estimat- ed $8.5 million, but it is being funded by private donations. Therefore, the Athletic Department is given the freedom of con- ducting their project in any way they see fit. That simply should not be the case with the Student Health Center, and any other projects the university decides to fund with student fees. It is bad enough when the student fees are increased every year, but when the students do not have any input as to what those fees are used for, something needs to change. OPINION MICHAEL EDWARDS Just say no to wigs still have a picture of one of my friends standing in front of one of the living room walls in a towel ? the whole wall was made of beer cans. I must admit, it has been a while since I've lived in Greenvillemore than 20 years according to my diplo- ma. It seems like the trees were much smaller on campus back then. I know there were a lot less people back then (all over the world in fact). I lived in a litde white house on Eastern street with two other guys. It had a fireplace in the garage below made from stolen bricks and a Ping-Pong table made from stolen plywood. I still have a picture of one of my friends standing in front of one of the living room walls in a towel ? the whole wall was made of beer cans. The house is still there, arid it looks really nice. Beer cans now lie in the yard and the street. It seems to me that if people are responsible enough to drink they would be responsible enough to throw their trash away or recycle like intelligent people. The dang rents have gone through the roof since I left! I was paying my fair share ? $25 a month and we sail had to mow our own lawn! Now, the apartment that I live in is nearly $400 a month, and it doesn't even have a Ping-Pong table. Greenville is such a beautiful town. I don't remember it being so attractive. Perhaps the season and the people have a lot to do with it. I have met some of the friendliest people since I've been back. Perhaps I've learned something in the past few years ? walking with my head up, greeting folks with a smile, and not taking life too serious- ly. The only attitudes that I've run into are ECU Attitudes ? I like to call them "Spirit I suppose there is just a little "pirate" in all of us. Even the folks in the cafeteria are friendly, they smile as they take your money. Back when I was here in my past life, we staged a huge boycott on the main yard because our cafeteria food stunk! We all called it the Ptomaine Hilton. We must have made our point because they've got much bet- ter food, now, everywhere you look is a cafeteria. No wonder so many peo- ple are overweight I'm disappointed with the down- town area though. You used to be able to shop downtown. Now, it seems you can only drink and nibble. Shopkeepers should know that when people drink, they want to shop - haven't they heard of symbiotic rela- tionships? The shops that are down- town don't seem to inviting to the "average" shopper. The first place that I ever had a job was Bissette's drug store. Now, Bissette's (board) Store is a wig shop! Why did they put a board over the word "drug"? Is this a new city ordinance? Maybe if they'd leave the (board) word alone, some folks would wonder in just to check it out. Not that wigs are a bad thing, mind you, some people can't do without them them. I've never dated anyone with a wig, I wouldn't be interested. It would freak me out if it came off at the wrong time ? like breakfast Bissette's used to be the breakfast spot downtown ? 25 cents for a cup of coffee! How things have changed! A wig shop man What's with the city traffic engi- neers cutting street parking in half! You used to be able to park your car on either side of the strees that branch off Fifth Street - that was when ECU only had 12,000 stu- dents! Now, you might as well leave your car in Hoboken and get a bike because you ain't going to find a parking space in town after 8 p.m. Speaking of Fifth Street what the heck are those round things in front of the Fine Arts Building across from the Sig-Ep house of ill-repute? Those things aren't "art" are they? It looks like some sort of tiny landing pads for something. This place isn't gone to I mean, there hasn't been a sighting since I lefthas there? The only sightings I can remember back when men were men and women were women were during those late night panty raids at Umstead, but I guess things like that don't happen here anymore. Maybe one of those late night downtown revelers should put together a wig raid. Wigs might look rather bizarre hanging on the wall. OPINION SCOTT WILKINS ? ? Everyone seeks release Even though we may he here at ECU for the summer, and we may he taking classes, we can still seek a release. Well, Monday was the first day of summer. Ah, cool breezes, warm sunshine, and blazing hot tempera- tures. Oh wait, it was cool and rainy. No bother, summer will return shortly. If you are reading this, chances are you decided to stay around campus for the sum- mer. If you are staff, you probably didn't have much of a choice. Yet if you are a student already, or a incoming freshman here for orien- tation and you are reading this then you are just as crazy as me for choosing to hang around campus this summer. Personally, I needed to get caught up on some classes so I could graduate reasonably close to on time. Some are here just because the thought of chilling with mom and dad for the summer sent you screaming. Second Session for Summer begins Thursday and I find myself saying, "Why am I still here? Drop the class before the session begins and go to the beach Then reality hits and I realize that I am here to catch up and that running to the beach isn't going to put a diploma in my hand. That is unless I decide to do the Sally Struthers "TVA'CR repair" thing that I see on TV. Of course, seeing how I can't even fig- ure out my toaster oven, TVVVCR repair may not be the best choice for me. Yet I digress. The point is that even though- we may be here at ECU for the- summer, and we may be taking- classes, we can still seek a release. Escape to the beach with your sig- nificant other or just go by yourself. The waves are therapeutic. Just watch out for seagulls. Or, if you're not really a beach lover find a friend and a tent and head to the moun- tains. Ride up to Washington, DC and discover the Nations' Capital Or ride to Washington, NC. Just don't stay cooped up inside and bore yourself to death with "The Young and the Restless" and reruns of "Charles of Charge Mavbe your release is a good book. Maybe it is watching your favorite movie. Anyone ever heard of The Towering Inferno? It's my person- al favorite. I don't recommend finding release in a carton of Ben ? Jerry's Chunky Monkey. It may be good, but it puts on the pounds. However, I see nothing wrong widj finding release in a frosty. Enjoy the summer, and to the freshman and their parents, wet come to ECU. OPINION SUSAN WRIGHT Celebrate those you love There is nothing that a little love can't make beautiful. Last Sunday was Father's Day, and if you celebrated it, it was a time to spend with your family. Hallmark has attempted to take all of the significance out of simple little holidays like Valentine's Day and Father's Day and turn them into over commercialized spending frenzies, but we must strive to preserve the true meaning and beau- ty of these holidays. The little holidays are the most easily forgotten, but we can be a little creative and make them special. Sometimes, poverty strikes and it seems as if the holiday must pass with- out celebration. This is a falsehood because even in the most dire circum- stances, one can celebrate his or her loved ones. College student are notori- ous for their shortages of funds (occa- sionally so severe that they choose to use candles to illuminate their home instead of conventional electricity), but also for their creativity. Who else but a college student would take the time to figure out that warm beer funneled directly into the mouth is one of the quickest ways to get dnink? Maybe that same college student could apply some of that infinite supply of creative juices to create something special for a loved one to make their day. A card that is handmade will always bring a light to your parents' eyes. Remember kindergarten1 when you made the most misshapen drawing and said that it was a family portrait? Your mom stuck that picture on the fridge so fast the paint ran, and she smothered you in a hug; Cheap, but creative, can be great. Cooking is always a winner when K comes to making a day special Whether cakes, cookies, or manicotlj arc your specialties, if you say that you made it for someone you love, they will swear up and down that it is the best that they have ever eaten. They will rave even if it is burnt to a crisp and the sweet tea has two pounds of sugar in a gallon. Believe me, I have been in both cases and I know. Just show a lit- tle love in your kitchen expertise, and your loved one's day will be bright and sunny. There is nothing that a little love can't make beautiful. Family is some- thing that we all should hold near and dear, whether it is our biological family or our friends here at school. Celebrate those who you love, and never let an opportunity pass to show them how you feel. Whether poverty or a lack of Julia Child expertise is your vice, uti- lize the skills that you have and make that emotion show. Share the warm fuzziest 5 Wddrusday. Ju f? ?

Funding for the trip was supplied by an alumnus who wanted the faculty to learn more about a culture very different from our own, and who feels that China has the potential to become one of the up and coming financial powers in a global econo- my. In order to be selected, each faculty member had to submit a written proposal as to how they would anticipate using infor- mation learned on the trip in their respect- ed departments. The selected group con- sisted of Ernest Uhr (Dean of the School of Business), Richard Kerns, Robert Schellenberger, Laura Eakins (Decision Sciences), Doug Schneider, Rick Niswander (Accounting), Stan Eakins (Finance), Tope Bello, Michael Harris, Roy Simerly (Management), and Robert Frankel (Marketing). They were there for two weeks and vis- ited various parts of China, including Hong Kong, Canton, Shanghai, Gui Lin and Beijing. "There is a significant difference from Hong Kong to the mainland Dean Uhr said. "In Hong Kong, every Chinese sign has an English translation, and most people spoke at least some English. It wasn't that way on the mainland Upon arriving in China, some very real differences from home became apparent. "One of the big things that strikes you immediately, from the moment you enter China till the moment you leave, is the air pollution Rick Niswander said. "The water pollution is very bad as well. They're doing things to improve it, but they have a long way to go The group visited the Great Wall, the Summer Palace, and the Forbidden City. "The historical sitesarc pretty much what one would expect from all the pho- tographs Schneider said, "but there is nothing like actually visiting these places Sightseeing and gaining impressions of the culture and people were a large part of the visit, but it was not all fun and games. Some days consisted of breakfast at six a.m a flight at seven, meetings and tours all day and finally dinner at around ten p.m. " was important for us to see how the people lived, as opposed to just a business point of view Rick Niswander Accounting Faculty The trip took place shortly after the NATO bombing of the Chinese Embassy in Kosovo.

"The younger generation is very much immersed in western culture and dress, far more than the older generation. All throughout China McDonald's and Kentucky Fried Chicken are present. Coke and Pepsi Products are everywhere as well China is state-run, but some small inde- pendent businesses are starting to open up. "It was interesting to see some of the smaller store fronts that wouldn't have been there ten years ago Niswander said. "It's like there's this pent up entrepre- neurial need "There is clearly more affluence than there was before said Dean Uhr, who had been to China on an ECU sponsored trip around fourteen years ago, "but it is a mis- take to think there isn't still a lot of gov- ernment control "It was important for us to see how the people lived, as opposed to just a business point of view Niswander said. "We as Americans are extremely spoiled in many ways Whereas a student here at ECU may have a one thousand square foot apartment and find it very small, there may be as many as three generations of Chinese living in a three hundred square foot room, not too much bigger than one of our dorm rooms "You can't imagine what it's like to live in a country that defines a small city as one that only has five million people Uhr said. On the business level, they may seem very inefficient compared to the US because it seems that there are many more people involved than are necessary. "There are a billion and a quarter people in China Niswander said. "They have to do something "One of the things that I enjoyed most about this trip to China was seeing an American who graduated with an MBA from ECU in the 70's Uhr said.

RICK NISWANOER Notting Hill perfectly cast Accidental'romance has classic charm J AN ISA (illRAIKI PI-ATIfSJtN KIHTOH According to movie advertise- ments, "this year the Force is with Notting Hill Though I wouldn't compare it to Star Wars, I definite- ly think Notting Hill is one of the best romantic comedies I've ever seen. It's a story of a superstar, Anna Scott (Julia Roberts) whose pic- ture is plastered everywhere around the world. While visiting London, she ventures to the dis- trict Notting Hill. There she finds an endless array of shops, includ- ing a travel book shop run by William Thacker (Hugh Grant). It seems like love at first sight, and despite the obstacles of Anna's hectic career, the two manage to hit it off. Roberts seems a bit humble for her character, but its a refreshing touch. Grant's charac- ter, however, is very believable. He is just an average Joe. While their meeting circumstances could really happen to "non-famous" people, its highly unlikely. "I love Julia Roberts' movies; the part she plays in Notting Hill is so true of her real life said sophomore.TanyaWalken. FYI: Julia Roberts is the highest paid actress ever at $20 million per movie. The casting is perfect, and each character balances out one anoth- er. The cast member that steals the show is Williams' dirty but hilarious roommate Spike (Rhys Ifans). In one scene, Spike can't find any clean clothes (which doesn't surprise me), so he goes through Williams' things and puts on a wet suit, goggles and all.

The group met at Camp Lejune in Jacksonville, NC where three of the five were marines. All of the members of the band were very excited to be performing in Greenville again. "I just love Greenville. Everybody's so cool said lead singer Mike Corrado. If you've ever seen the band play before you know that they are great entertainers. They were laid back and fun off the stage and even more exciting to watch on stage. They really knew how to get the crowd going. They opened up with a couple of songs and then intro- duced each band member to the audience. Saxophone player Joe Yankel definitely stole the show. I was fascinated by how well he played the crowd.

(AP) Six score and 18 years ago, their forefathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation, conceived in secession and dedicated to the proposition that states are sovereign and not beholden to a central government. Now, the philosophical heirs to the Confederate States of America are making another go at it. Organizers of the Southern Party have registered with the Federal Election Commission and with the secretaries of state in Florida, Georgia, Texas and Virginia. By August, the party hopes to be established in all 11 states of the old Confederacy arid the border states of Kentucky, Maryland. Missouri, Oklahoma and West Virginia. The short-term goal is to get candidates elected to state and local offices. The long-term objec- tive, which troubles independent political observers even though they doubt it will ever happen: Send enough party members to Congress to push for a separate Southern nation. Wasn't that settled in the Civil War? Not in the view of the Southern Party. "The shotgun wedding forced upon the South at Appomattox has) reached a dead end, and it is time to initiate a political divorce for the' good of all parties concerned declares the group's Web site.

It's culled a duplex Kalas, a Houstonian who filed the party's Texas papers in March, says there's popular support for the idea of a new Confederacy. But is he just whistling "Dixie"? Since 1992, the Southern Focus Polls from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have asked whether the South would be bet- ter off as a separate nation, if that could be achieved without blood- shed. Between 8 percent and 16 percent of Southerners have agreed at any given time, and up to 9 percent of non-Southerners have accepted the premise. Twenty years ago, John Shelton Reed, the author, histori- an and sociologist whose depart- ment oversees the polling, predict- ed the time was coming when Southerners would again seek autonomy. His reasoning: Those who actually fought the Civil War were all dead; America's role in the world was becoming less clear following Vietnam, and the South was "finally ridding itself of the incubus of white supremacy "Although I'm pleased to have my prophecy validated, I'm per- sonally ambivalent about this development Reed says. Even so, he adds, "I certainly believe that any group that's telling the 'federals' to mind their constitutional business is doing a good thing Separatist movements are noth- ing new. Groups of native Hawaiians have been pushing for a return to sovereignty in recent years, and the Alaskan Independence Party, founded on a platform of secession from the lower 48, helped elect a governor in 1990.

If you log onto the Animal Planet web site, you can catch a glimpse of "Crocodile Hunter's" Danger Videos which offer rare sightings of Super Steve in action as he becomes intimate with lurk- ing creatures. You can view such hot topics as the angry komodo dragon chases Steve up a tree, Steve swims in the shark tank, a bearded dragon lunges at Steve and a python takes a chunk out of Steve. "The funniest episode is the one where the snake takes a bite out of Steve's nose said senior Matthew Cochrane. Whether Steve and Terri are observing the fury of the mother crocodile as they try to take her eggs or swimming in shark infested water, the two blatantly put them- selves in the path of danger.

PHOTO BY PAUt WRIGHT Oum ?lal Another powerful hit by Salargo PHOIO BY PAUL WRICHT After fierce competition for the award as well as anchoring his team through the season, outfielder Steve Salargo was named as TEC Athlete of the Year. This year will go down as an eventful year in Salargo's life. In 1999, Salargo capped off a season with ECU winning the Colonial Championship and going to the NCAA birth. At the same time, he personally took part in the Major League Baseball draft, where he was selected by the Baltimore Orioles as the 607th overall pick. The Wilson native may have ended his college career, but he certainly will not be forgotten with all of the records the he now owns. The left fielder racked up records for career hits at ECU( 301),games played (223),at bats(862),doubles(54),and runs scored 198). Combining his career records with the many single season records which he holds, he attracted attention from many other recognized sports associa- tions. Salargo was named to the second- team All-American by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association. Salargo's numerous single season records including games played(62),at bats(244),doubles(20),RBI(77),and runs scored(70) all helped Salargo in his draft campaign. Associate Athletic Director, Henry VanSant, saw Salargo to be one of the top Pirates baseball players ever. "He was a great outfielder who prac- tically rewrote ECU's baseball book VanSant said. Salargo has already moved past ECU. Salargo's mother said that he has already begun play with a minor league farm team for the Orioles in Blue-field, West Virginia. Salargo said that once he left ECU, he went to Sarasota, Florida for an Orioles mini-camp. There his mother shocked him when she told him that he won Ail-American honors. "We were talking on the phone one night when she told me that I had won Salargo said. "I was really surprised and honored with receiving the award After a few weeks in Florida, he headed to the Bluefield Orioles for an advanced rookie ball league, and he is there currendy. Salargo said that the change has not been that difficult thanks to the training he was put through with Pirates head baseball coach, Keith LeClair. "The strategy is a little more fast paced, every one here is a good ball player. Some are at another level than ECU's, but otherwise it is pretty much the same as what coach Leclair did. It's not much different Salargo said. With Salargo gone, it is up to others to pick up the pace and continue to excel. Salargo said that many players should be expected to step up in the upcoming year. "Players like Jeremy Schumacher and John Williamson are incredible ball players who I think will be looked to lead the team Salargo said.

Kohl amassed an individual record of 45-4 overall and 31-0 in conference play over her three years of varsity play at her high school in Wilmington, John T. Hoggard High. Tom Morris, head coach of the ECU women's tennis program, hopes she will have a big impact on the school's program. "We feel fortunate to have Emily join us as she gives us a lot more depth than we had last year Morris said. "She will help us to solidify our top six players and add to our team depth.

It also started the biggest Cup controversy in years. Several Sabres said the Game 6 finish will haunt them and, they said, the National Hockey League for years because Hull's left skate was in the goal crease before he shot.

Put away the brooms and postpone the parade plans. Allan Houston upstaged Tim Duncan and shot the New York Knicks back into the NBA Finals. Allan Houston matched his playoff his first playoff career high to 34 for the points Knicks to a crucial 89-81 victory over the San Antonio Spurs, who had their NBA playoff record 12-game win- ning streak snapped. "Allan Houston was incredi- ble Duncan saidHe played a great game throughout "He was a pain in the neck Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. The Knicks had been dominated by Duncan in two losses in San Antonio but found a way to shut Duncan was stopped by the Knicks defense. him down the fourth quarter. The 7-foot superstar finished with 20 points and 12 rebounds but was 0- of-4 in the final period. "They were a little more aggressive said Duncan, the first two games. "They didn't let me get to the middle as much as I have before. But I missed some shots that I usually hit" Houston came out firing and never stopped, saddling the Spurs' guards with early foul trouble and finishing 10-of-24 from the field. He scored 13 points in the first quarter, when New York bolted to a 14-point lead. He was the offense in the third period, scoring 12 of his team's 16 points. And when the Spurs pulled within four down the stretch, Houston hit a 20-footer for an 83-77 lead with three minutes remaining and the Knicks led by at least six there- after. He tied his post season high SEE KNICKS PAGE I t RXwfay, Jw 23.

Pttyers can play a puck in the crease, but only if it arrives there before they da i "I don't know if we'll ever be able to put this behind us for the asst of our lives Jay McKee of the Sabres said. "This is what we all dreamed to do and the situation to be in and, now, it's gone The debate isn't. NHL officials supervisor Bryan Lewis said Hull's goal counted because he main- tained possession of the puck from the time he played it beyond the crease. "A puck that rebounds off the goalie, the goal post, an opposing player is not deemed to be a change of possession Lewis said. "Therefore, Hull would be deemed to be in control of the puck, allowed to shoot and score a goal, even though the one foot would be in the crease in advance of the puck Still, the rules application seemed to violate the spirit of the NHL's no-tolerance policy on goal crease violations. So many games were delayed this season for video reviews, and enough goals were wiped out by crease infractions, that the NHL's Board of Governors could vote as early as this week to relax the rule. NHL commissioner Gary Bettman hinted strongly he wants the rule relaxed. Harry Sinden of the Boston Bruins said the topic created so much debate at last week's general managers meetings that if any GM didn't know how to curse, he does now. The rule interpretation creates yet again the perception that the NHL often governs itself by the seat of the pants rather than a set of rules. Sabres coach Lindy Ruff was- n't convinced the goal was reviewed by the video replay judge and other NHL officials, although Lewis said it was. "I really think that if we had scored a goal like that, it would have been called back Juneau said. "I think because it was a goal that gave them the Stanley Cup, everybody jumped on the ice and they were afraid to make the call Still, there is no dispute the Stars are worthy champions. The Stars and the 1994 New York Rangers are the only teams in the 1990s to win the regular-season Presidents' Trophy and Stanley Cup in the same season. 1 Knicks continued Irom page 7 t set in Game One of the Eastern Conference semi-finals against Atlanta. .

I don't want to have 30- point nights and then go down and have 10 or whatever i Latrell Sprewell scored 24 points and Larry Johnson added 16 and strong defense for the Knicks, who never trailed but never seemed secure with the lead, either. New York had solid ball movement, got to the foul line and gave Sprewell and Houston some help, which it had not done in the first two games. Houston made all 12 of his free throw attempts. The Knicks made 23-of-30 foul shots and had 17 assists on 31 baskets. Houston said. "I think we did a much better job of just playing together, driving the ball, kicking it to the open man It was another gutty perfor- mance by the Knicks, who made Marcus Camby a surprise starter at center and endured yet another injury, this one a sprained medial capsule in the left knee of reserve guard Chris Childs, who did return with a leg wrap. "I think any team starts with belief and trust Knicks coach Jeff Van Gundy said. "Belief in them- selves as individuals, belief in their teammates, belief in their coaching staff and then trust in those same areas. I think it's any good team's foundation, those two things David Robinson scored a 1999 playoff high 25 points and grabbed 10 rebounds for the Spurs, who lost on the road for the first time in seven post season games. San Antonio fell to 43-7 since a 6-8 start had not lost anywhere since a Game Two home setback to Minnesota in the first round on May 11. "Our team just absolutely hates to lose Robinson said. "We take it personally when we lose. We always respond well after a loss, always. So this is something all of us have to go back and get ourselves reset and just come back out and be more focused Game Four is Wednesday at New York.

ORIENTATION ISSUE 3 Safety Campus Dining Student Health Virtual Classrooms S7 with the" Chancellor ANISA Giirairi tfttt WRITKR Richard Eakin has been chancellor of East Carolina University since March of 1987. Prior to ECU, Eakin was employed at Bowling Green State I Iniversity in Ohio. It was then that the president at Bowling Green made him aware of the opening chancellor position and encouraged him to apply. Chancellor Eakin is from New Castle, PA, and attended Geneva College, a private liberal arts college in Beaver Falls, PA. From there he went on to graduate school at Washington State in Pullman, WA, where he received a masters and doctorate in mathematics. During college Eakin met his wife, JoAnn, and they have been married for 39 years. The Eakin's have two children, Matthew and Maridy. Here is a chance to get to know your chancellor a little more. The East Carolinian: What do you think ECU offers incoming freshmen? Eakin: " I think ECU offers students a wonderful opportunity for a total college experience. We have a rich curriculum, as well as out of class experiences, whether it be recreational, social, or cultural; all designed to help us become total human beings. We also have a sense of community, which I think attracts a lot of people to ECU TEC: Did you ever live in the dorms? What dormfs) do you like the best here and why? Eakin: " I lived in the dorms all four years of college. The dorms 1 like best are Gotten, Fleming and Jarvis because of their historical significance and their distin- guished architecture TEC: What is your favorite spot on campus? Eakin: " I like the mall and the copula, but I admire the architecture of the newer buildings like Joyner Library and the Sonic Plaza, the Recreation Center and Todd Dining Hall TEC: Do you ever cat on campus? Where do you go? Eakin: "We sometimes hold luncheons on campus catered by the school, but usual- ly I go to Todd Dining Hall or the Wright Place and get a sandwich, an apple and a soda TEC: What is your favorite sport, as a viewer or participant? Eakin " I like to watch basketball and play golf FYI- Chancellor Eakin played basketball in college. TEC: What advice can you give to incoming freshmen? Eakin: " As you arrive to East Carolina University be attentive to your surround- ings, realize you have to work harder and more is expected out of you as an individual You need to take responsibility for doing your own work. If you adopt these attitudes and are willing to work hard than success is obvious Night classes offer campus parking problems Safety still big concern for students A m v W ; n !?: k Tkrra Stkinbkiskr Sf.MIIK HITKKS Night classes begin at 6:30 p.m. Most run until 9:30 p.m. and sometimes even longer. Some students have said that they are concerned about safely getting to their car in the dark after class. According to Shirley Bazemore, Parking and Traffic Control officer, there are park- ingl lots that are not open to students until 6:30 p.m. such as the lot next to Rawl, where many night classes are held. "These are private parking lots .Bazemore said. "If they have a registered vehicle, they can park there But there are other places to park before 6:30 p.m to avoid being tardy to class. According to Bazemore, all registered cars except freshmen can park in the Brewster staff lot and in the lot behind Speight after 4 p.m. All other lots open at 5 or 7 p.m. If students' cars are not uni- versity registered, or are parked there before these times, then they might receive a ticket. Bazemore said that tick- eting goes on from 5:30 a.m. to midnight. Students who have night classes said they feel that this puts their safety in jeop- ardy. "Even though the parking lots are pret- ty well lit, I still don't like it when I have to walk to my car alone after class said LaToya Washington, a senior majoring in business. Bruce Flye. director of Facilities Planning, says that there arc no plans to move parking closer to night-class locations. "But measures have been taken to improve lighting and install new emergency call boxes Flye said. According to Flye, the new Reade Street lot will have additional technological safety measures. "(The Reade Street lot will have the best lighting as of yet and will lie equipped with security cameras Flye said. Richard Brown, vice chancellor for Administration and Finance, said that safety is a top priority for ECU, and that the cam- pus is very safe. Some students agree and said they do not fear for their safety on campus after dark. "I know it's not the best idea, but I walk around campus alone after dark often enough, and I've never felt unsafe said ? SEE PARKING PAGE I) Financial aid helps fund college careers Students must apply early to take advantage of loans Brian I Storrincs STMf WRITER Although the SATs may have gotten you into ECU, a knowledge of financial aid will keep you fiscally and physically secure while you are here. There are many types of financial aid available for students at ECU. At the Financial Aid Office, located in the Old Cafeteria Complex, you can find the infor- mation you need to gain access to grants, loans and part-time employment, also known as federal work study. Scholarships and merit-based awards are awarded through individual departments. "In order to receive financial help, you must apply for it and show need. 'The only aid not based on need are unsubsidized Stafford Loans said Karen Barbcc, Associate Director of Financial Aid. One senior, when asked what he would have liked to know about financial aid said, "I wish I had applied for it sooner The process for obtaining aid is first you must complete a FAFSA?Free Application for Federal Student Aid, and list ECU as one of your school options. Sharon Roberts consults Senior Brian Lake PHOTO BY MIKE PUIT0HAK According to the Office of Student Financial Aid, they feel you should apply early, and make a copy of the FAFSA for your records, as well as keeping copies of your IRS forms and other income information. After you send your FAFSA, you will receive a federal acknowledgment in the mail. Give a copy to Financial Aid. You will then receive an award letter. Indicate what aid you want, and turn in the award letter. The faster you do this process, the more aid you can receive. Your financial aid can be affected by your parent's income, and, under the Higher Education Amendments of 1998, any drug conviction can result in a loss of financial aid. If you have any questions about financial aid, you can call the Office of Financial Aid at 252-328-6610 or visit during their office hours Monday?Friday from 10am-5pm. I flRIFHTATinfJ ISSUE UCAID helps university develop Internet 2 ? ? ? ? .? A a. -t. Pantar fnr ' I dlamail iiin? Qofcw developed as hi$- stieed successor to internet AN ISA (illKAIKI STAFF WRITKI East Carolina University has teamed up with the University Corporation for Advanced Internet Development (UCAID) to help in the development of Internet 2. UCAID is a collaboration of mainly universities; 146 hold membership including N.C. State, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Duke University and Wake Forest University as well as other universities across the nation, industries and government offices. It is an effort to build a high speed successor to the Internet which has become too busy and slow in moving large amounts of data that will benefit science and research. It is not an attempt to replace the existing Internet, but merely allow scientists, medical stu- dents, etc. to share vast amounts of data, collaborate easier across broad distances and run complex equipment by remote. ECU, who is one of UCAID's newest members, had to submit an application to be approved by a review board. Jeffrey Huskamp, East Carolina's chief information officer, said joining UCAID will bring about many advantages. "It will increase our ban with the Internet, upgrade the 10 megabytes the computers have now to 45 or possibly 150 megabytes, and help students by accessing other universities more quick- ly Huskamp said. Students at ECU will be able to exchange data vials with other universi- ties like the research library at the University of California at Berkeley. This is made possible by NCLIVE, the UNC systems' libraries. ECU will help with network research like telemedi- cine. At the Center for Telemedicine, part of East Carolina's medical school, students can access lab analysis and receive medical information quicker and easier. There are, however, some restrictions when using Internet 2. If you want to send information or a message, you have to have someone who is a member of UCAID (like ECU) send it for you. You can not be just anywhere and retrieve information. "Universities who join UCAID to be a part of Internet 2 want to have better Internet activities and better Internet access Huskamp said. Virtual classroom slated to be ready for fall Courses will soon be available online I'KKKA STKINBKISKR STAFF WRITF.lt Everyone with access to the Internet will now able to complete ECU courses on- line. According to Dr. David Watkins, spe- cial assistant to the VCAA for information resources, ECU Virtual University will include virtual classrooms, exams, finan- cial services, library research and office visits with professors. Watkins said that the option should be up and running next fall, but there is "no guarantee because they have to tie all the loose ends He also said that there are already a lot of class supplements up and running. "We're actually hoping to get it ready before fall semester so that professors will have enough time to become familiar with the program and get their informa- tion up before classes actually start said Watkins. Watkins said he did not know exactly how many classes will be available through the Virtual University. "It depends on how many faculty members want to get involved and how students respond to it said Watkins. ECU is planning to-purchase a license to use a program called Courselnfo from Blackboard, Inc. Courselnfo will help standardize on-line courses and "help to simplify things said Watkins. It will also provide a template for instructors who feel less than confident about their computer capabilities. Other colleges in the University of North Carolina System already have some of these capabilities, including NC State. "I take an on-line class right in my dorm room said Cameron Schwartz, NC State freshman. "It's not any easier than a regular class that you actually attend, but it is more convenient Some non-traditional students are very excited about the Virtual University. "I'd love to take classes on-line said Cindy Targy, a non-traditional student and mother of two.

Being away from home is a challenge, but imagine if that challenge was compound- ed by a disability. The university offers a great deal of support and services to help in aiding these disabled students. Much of the sup- port and aid comes from the Department for Disability Support Services. ECU is home to around 365 disabled students. According to Liz Shilliday, asso- ciate director for the Department for Disability Support Services, "It is not a requirement for the disabled students to let the university know they are disabled when enrolling. Therefore, we only know the number of students who are disabled that have come to us for support, and not the total number The Department for Disability Support Services offers services such as mobility training for the blind or visually impaired and interpreting services and Portable Telecommunication Devices for the deaf. Hearing impaired students are provided with sign language interpreters and the visually impaired are provided with things such as books on tape and items in larger print. In addition to Disability Support Services, the university also offers four handicap accessible dorms and six handi- cap accessible dining halls. ECU Transit has eight handicap accessible busses and one van. According to Housing Services, the handicap accessible dorms have special doors that open with a remote control that only disabled students who live in that dorm have. Renovations to many of the dorms and other campus buildings are underway to make ECU a more handicap accessible university. Beginning last year, ECU started to renovate dorms and campus buildings by adding elevators. Jarvis Hall's renovations will start this year. Once renovations are complete, Jarvis will be equipped with an elevator. According to Bruce Flye, director of Facilities Planning, Jones Hall is the next dorm in line to have an elevator installed. The Austin Building and Rawl Annex are two campus buildings that have recently been under construction. Rawl is complete, but Austin is still not finished. ECU Transit has eight of their 18 busses available for the use of disabled students. They are equipped with lifts for access to the bus. Although all the busses are not accessible, they eventually will be. "The last five busses we have bought have been accessible said Joey Weathington, director of ECU Transit "When we replace the old buses with new ones, they will also be accessible Each bus driver has been trained in how to help disabled students get on the bus. "When they are hired, and later in each semester, they have training.

So, take time to stop and enjoy campus dining. There are seven dining spots located conveniently throughout campus which offer a variety of foods. There are two din- ing halls?Todd, which is located on College Hill, and Mendenhall on West campus. Both are all-you-can-eat dining halls that serve breakfast, lunch and din- ner Monday through Friday, and brunch and dinner on the weekends. You can choose anything from hot entrees and salads to made-to-order sand- wiches and numerous desserts. In addi- tion to these, the dining halls offer a cere- al station for those of you who do not feel like eating dinner for dinner. If you do not have time to sit down and eat a meal you can go to one of the other five dining spots. If you are on Central campus then you have two options, The Wright Place and Croatan. The Croatan is located in the heart of the academic area of campus, and is an a la carte cafe open for breakfast and lunch Monday through Friday. For breakfast they have biscuit sand- wiches, bagels and an assortment of pack- aged pastries and muffins. For lunch they have sandwiches, fries and qucsadillas, just to name a few options. The Wright Place located next to the Student Stores is the most frequented dining spot It is an a la carte cafe open for breakfast, lunch, dinner and late night dining Monday through Friday, and on Saturday for breakfast and lunch.

For exam- ple, if you sprain your ankle and can't walk, come to the office and we get you to a doctor According to sources at Student Health Services, making an appointment to see a doctor is not difficult, and can be done one or two days in advance unless it is flu season and many people are sick. Student Health Services also has a pharmacy located in the building which allows prescriptions and over- the-counter medications to be purchased quickly and inexpensively. "Access is convenient and fees are less than private offices, but we have good care as well said Linda Sanderson, physician extender. Mental health is another service pro- vided by the Student Health Office. This department has two staff psychologists who students may make an appointment with through Mental Health Services which is located in the same building as Student Health. "We work closely with the counseling center, and we see students that are going through serious problems said Jane- Ross, staff psychologist. "We are not here for the students who are going through the normal stresses of college life, they should lie referred to the Student Counseling Center, but instead we see those who have exceeded the point of functioning normally.

Part of making your dorm room more livable is to find friends to live the dorm life with you. One of the most important things to do when moving into the dorms is to cus- tomize your room.

During your college years, this becomes your favorite four-letter word. Many of us know from experience what it's like to hit financial rock bottom. We all wonder where all the money goes, and we want to know the best ways to make more. There's got to be a better way to save money than to break up with someone right before the gift-giving holi- days and wearing dirty underwear inside out. It has been said that the best way to make money is to get an honest job. Nude dancing, by the way, is not the most dignified way to support your habit for extravagant clothing. Programs sponsored by the University such as the Co-op program and various job placement programs are offered to the financially challenged. Although the job placement programs are not need- based, they help students find jobs with- in their area of study. "It is, however, a good way to defray the costs of your education said Mary Cauley, director of the Co-op program. Finding a job that is related to your major has numerous benefits that include the hands-on experiences you get while in the process of paying for and supporting yourself through your educa- tion. When students were asked to analyze their expenses, needs and wants, they gave the most interesting responses. Puzzled, they tried to rationalize their expenses and splurging habits. "I spend most of my money on stupid things such as food, going out and so many other things said Mary Beth Fleming, freshman. "I think that people just blow their money on small things that add up "I'm usually pretty good about spend- ing my money, but it always seems to dis- appear any time I take an unnecessary trip to Target or Wal-Mart said Melissa Tilley, sophomore. "I always get home $30 short and nothing to show for iL" Students remain baffled as to where their money is going. Frequent trips to the grocery store, the department store and downtown, suck away all of our money without us ever realizing it. The cost of living has also just increased, which leads to the conclusion that no matter how much the average college stu- dent saves, they may never be able to keep up with the Jones I'm sure you are all familiar with thrift shops such as Goodwill and Salvation Army.

Other special interest groups range from those with military concerns, to those interested in ani- mism, the belief in the existence of spirit and soul. There are also music groups, both large and small, religious organizations, and the popular social fraternities, the Greeks. Whatever your tastes, there is some- thing for everyone.

For the scholar and historian, one of the hidden treasures of ECU is the Special Collections section of Joyner Library. Here, for those willing to do a bit of dig- ging, there exists a wide array of materi- als encompassing a variety of interests and needs. The Special Collections are divided into four main areas. The first of these is the Manuscript Collection, which con- tains letters, diaries, photographs and numerous other items with great research potential. The Manuscript Collection concentrates on four things, the first being materials from or related to North Carolina (the North Carolina Collection on the third floor of Joyner is a part of Special Collections). The second part of the Manuscript Collection is composed of military papers. According to Donald R. Lennon of Special Collections, the large number of naval papers in this collection are, "the largest repository outside the mili- tary There is also a considerable amount of material in this section related to the U.S. Civil War. A third area of interest covered by this collection are materials accumulated by the tobacco industry and its employees. These include documents from many different parts of the world, 'such as China and Rhodesia, where this industry has had a presence. The fourth category in the Manuscript Collection is missionary records. These materials come from all over the world, and include records returned from Africa, South America and the Orient. Material destined for the Manuscript Collection must first be carefully orga- nized, itemized and protected against deterioration. It can arrive at the offices in boxes, cases, bags or in one case, even a barrel.

Twice? Never? Often, we toss around phrases like this without them ever coming true. But among the student population at ECU are many students who have said this and meant it. Not only do these couples com- mit their time to their schoolwork, but also have to dealing with the pressures of being married. Devotion to a spouse and trying to make time for school keeps these stu- dents busy, but overall the pleasures of being married outweigh the negative aspects. The following three couples all have unique situations, but face similar chal- lenges. Kelly Bumpass, a graduate stu- dent who is finishing his degree, feels that he made the right decision to get married while still in school. "I wouldn't trade it for the world Bumpass said. According to Bumpass, he appreciates the security of having his wife Dora at home when he gets in. And the financial security that his wife's job provides takes pressure off of him as he finishes his degree. He also realizes that there are some drawbacks to balancing his time. "Sometimes I can get overwhelmed with school and work, and then she feels neglected Bumpass said. "I basically have to slow down and try not to do too much He advises students who are thinking about getting married and going to school at the same time to carefully consider the additional responsibilities that married life will bring. Not only do you have to consider the impact of your decisions on your own life, but on your spouse's as well. Unlike single ECU students, he has to think about the future not just in terms of school, but of long-range consequences. "You're living a life outside of school, at the same time that you are in school Bumpass said. "You have to get your priorities straight to make it work Other married students face similar sit- uations. Junior Jeff Ellis and his wife Roberta have been married since August and have a baby girl. They also feel the pressures of balancing home and school. "When you love someone and are committed to them, you can work through anything Roberta said. This way, they don't have to worry about finding time to see one another or have to experience the apprehension of being single and dating. One of the keys to their relationship is understanding and support. Jeff realizes the difficulties Roberta has in caring for the baby, and Roberta encourages him as he tries to finish school and support the family. Looking back, the decision to marry and start a family definitely caused a major change in Jeffs life. "I really had to grow up overnight Jeff said. Jeff decided to put his family first, even if it meant putting school lower on his list of priori- ties. Even though sometimes it is diffi- cult, he doesn't give up. "It's definitely worth it Jeff said. Another couple, Don and Martina Froning, have to deal with a particu- larly unique situa- tion. Don is a gradu- ate student, while his wife still lives in Hawaii, where they met. They have been married for nearly two years, and Don has been going to school here in Greenville since the fall. Due to the separation, he is trying to fin- ish school as quickly as possible and resume his life in Hawaii. The couple is also trying to buy land for a home and deal with finances, and the distance between them creates additional Many students find their partner for life on the campus of their college. Flit PHOTO frustration that most couples don't have to deal with. Overall, all three of these couples share the same feeling.

"It also allows students to look at their own country in a different perspective Samantha Dunn, an English major, received the opportunity to study abroad at the Manchester University in England. She was initially introduced to International Studies when her older sis- ter participated in the program. According to Dunn, her experiences there were very interesting. The major language differences that she encountered were found primarily in the British slang. "Their slang words were quite differ- ent than ours Dunn said. For instance, when the British say that a man was "pissed they mean he was intoxicated. A few other cultural diversities from the American way of life that Dunn rec- ognized were in the educational system. "The classes were very different Dunn said. "I only went to class on Mondays and Tuesdays and had the rest of the week to myself Although Dunn only attended one semester, she was able to interact with students of other cultures as well as the British. She had three roommates: one German, one Polish and one African. When asked if they would opt to study abroad, the opinions of students varied. "It would be weird being in a strange place where I wouldn't know anyone and all the unfamiliar surroundings said Cindy Horrell, freshman. Other students seemed enthused at the idea of studying in another country. "I would try it out for a semester just to get the experience said Vinny Cardillo, graduate student. "I think it would be an awesome experience said Robin Skipper, Junior.

Several faculty members are selected as guest coaches for selected home events in football, volleyball and both men's and women's basketball. The program is administered by the student development office of the Athletics Department as a way for profes- sors to see what a student athlete goes through in practice and on game days. Chris Hargravc works in the student development office and hosts the faculty members participating in the program. Hargrave says the professors chosen for the program are selected by athletes. "Students nominate a teacher they feel close to Hargrave said. "They have to be attending their class at this semester. It's a way for the athletes to say thank you According to Hargravc, professors take this chance to experience competing Pirates up close. "Upperclassmen usually get first choice Hargrave said. "Sometimes they (the teachers) say no, but most of them are willing when asked There are usually two or three coaches selected for every home game in football.

The ECU Athletic Department named and honored its outstanding student-ath- letes at the annual PCS Phosphate Breakfast of Champions on April 17,1999. The breakfast was a part of the 16th annual Great Pirate PurpleGold Pigskin Pig-out. The breakfast was held at the Greenville Country Club. Isonette Polonius was named ECU Outstanding Female Student-Athlete and Justin England was named as the ECU Outstanding Male Student-Athlete for the 1998-99 season. Along with Polonius and England, the PCS Phosphate All-Academic Team was also honored at the breakfast. The awards given to the female and male scholar-athletes of the year includ an athletic grant-in-aid, which is spon- sored by PCS Phosphate. The scholar-athletes were chosen based on their academic and athletic achievement, leadership qualities and service to the university and community. Polonius, a senior softball "All- American is a native of Curacao, Netherlands Antilles. This season was her final season performing for the Lady Pirates. According to sports information, Polonius ranks in the top two of every ECU offensive category in the softball record book, including the top position in home runs, RBI's and doubles.

Honestly, did you choose ECU when you found out about our 1999 football schedule? I cannot blame you and I really envy the newest edition of all incom- ing Pirate fans for several reasons. While some veteran Pirate fans like myselves have had to remember the 1998.99 Pirate athletics for its lacklus- ter home schedules, now we will have promising seasons with breathtaking opponents ahead of us. Football and basketball suffered from home schedules that lacked the punch of other schools. Because of this dearth of widely known opponents, attendance suf- COURTESY OF ECU MARKETING fered at home games. In the case of football, it was- n't entirely our fault. In the spring of 1998, the University of Kentucky backed out of their game in Greenville slat- ed for September. This cost Pirate fans a chance to see UK quarterback Tim Couch, Heisman contender and eventual first pick in the NFL Draft. Instead of the Wildcats, we got to see the Pirates post a shutout against the hapless UAB. ECU's football schedule was played with giddy anticipation for the 1999 season. Pirate fans knew Miami, Duke and West Virginia were on the docket for next year and that the 1999 season would be capped by NC State's first trip to Greenville. The big games in the Pirate's future did not take away from the present ones. The 1998 Pirate football season saw the team go 6-5, the emergence of the option offense and the develop- ment of quarterbacks David Gerrard and Bobby Weaver. It saw Roderick Coleman continue to work his way up the draft board, the opening of the upper deck at Ficklin and the largest crowd for an ECU home game in a win over Army. Pirate basketball came and went quietly. Home games were played in front of meager crowds despite the exciting young talent the team had. Newcomers Evaldas Joeys and Brandon Hawkins sparked the Pirates to a 13-14 season. The small crowds were brought on by a home schedule that included out of conference foes such as Francis Marion and the University of Southwestern Louisiana. After a season with low attendance and concluding with yet another first round exit in the CAA tournament, changes were made. Head coach Joe Dooley stepped down and former Drexel coach Bill Herrion stepped in. Herrion's arrival and possibly a bet- ter home schedule combined with new recruits like Travis Holocomb-Faye could make the 1999-2000 season more memorable than the last one. Replacing Alico Dunk, the only senior of last year, Holocomb-Faye, a 6-1, 175-pound product of R.J. Reynolds High School, was signed as a highly regard- ed point guard, averaging 16 points, six rebounds and eight assists per game in his last year of high school. While the men went through this season without much fanfare, the women had a seasons worth of memo- ries in one weekend. The Pirates were the sixth seed heading into the CAA Women's Tournament in Richmond. The Pirates posted upset victories over George Mason and Richmond en route to the finals. The Pirates fell to the heavily favored Old Dominion in a close game. As spring rolled around, basketball ended and Pirate baseball and softball began to take center stage. The Pirates have led the conference for most of the season but finished second SEE FANS PAGE 22 ARE YOU AWARE THAfJAST CAROLINA UNIVERSITY HAS A COLLEGE ALTERNATIVE RADIO STATIOI YOU ARE HOW!

They are judged heavily on the criteria of basic dance techniques in jazz, funk and cheer dance. They are also judged on their atti- tudes.

A good performance at the camp is a key factor because it is one of the two ways to qual- ify for the National Cheer Association championship held every April. Hoping to improve from a disappointing 13th place at last year's championship, the team has already qualified by finishing with an impressive second place at the camp this year. "We are pretty pleased with the show- ing at the camp Graham said.

During their suc- cessful games the Pirates beat in-state foes Wake Forest and UNC-CH in front of huge crowds at Harrington field. Not to mention the nation's num- ber one Miami who had to put up with the defeat in their own stadium. The ECU crowd supported the Pirates in nearby Kinston where the Pirates man- aged to win the CAA conference title in a record-breaking final over Old Dominion. The team had been ranked in the top 25 for a number of weeks and secured an NCAA Tournament bid with the 21-15 victory overODU. The Louisiana State Regional series will be remembered by many as unlucky but still with pride. The Pirates showed they had the potential to beat every- body but their luck ran out in the 'Box' at Baton Rouge. Breaking the school record by one, the Lady Pirates won the Big South Tournament championship title over Coastal Carolina and clinched the con- ference's automatic berth in the NCAA tournament. The team (50-18) took on the top-seeded host University of Arizona Wildcats in the first round of the NCAA Regionals and finished their successful season. Being a Pirate fan over the last year has been fun. The present might not have had all of the glory and winning that a fan desires, however most Pirate teams did not experience heavy loses and will come back strong this year. Stronger schedules and more experi- ence should make the 1999-2000 Pirate athletics memorable, especially to you, the newest edition of Pirate fans. .1 ? ,redW?rk5 Q A Paint- yew Own ?kn P&Hhry SHuttc Hand Paint Your Own Masterpieces!
