The Multidisciplinary Studies at ECU offers undergraduate students a measure of Input and flexibility In planning their own unique academic degree program. The program began with approximately 12 students last spring and officials expect more than 20 students to choose this path In the upcoming school year. For those with a variety of Interests who don't want to limit their education to one area, the multidisciplinary studies major might be an increasingly attractive option. "The student comes up with their own curriculum that will allow students to design their own degrees said Dr. Steve Cerutti, director of Multidisciplinary Studies. "Students contact faculty mem- bers In each department they are Interest- ed in taking classes and forms an academ- ic advisory committee According to Cerutti, faculty mentoring is a key aspect of the major. "Each student works with one mentor Cerutti said. "Dr. Doug McMillan in English has mentored some of the stu- dents in our program and he has been very helpful and Dr. Ron Graziani in Art has also done a lot to bring students into the program as well Dr. Cerutti also emphasized that the program does not wish to replace existing programs in other departments. "When a student comes to me, I talk to them about what they are Interested In and I check ta see If a major already exists and I give them suggestions Cerutti said. Another unique aspect of the program is that It serves the needs of students inter- ested In majors where creativity is the key to success. "One of the requirements is that all stu- dents have to produce a senior thesis, but it does not have to be a written project Cerutti said. "For an art student it could be a work of art, a music student a piece of music, for a drama student a scene, depending on their Interest However, Multidisciplinary Studies is not designed to be a pushover for those looking for an easy major or fast way out of school. "We want it to be a prospective degree, not a retrospective degree Cerutti said. "I don't want a senior coming to me saying, 'I want to graduate next December I have 125 hours and just stick a name on it (a degree that's not what we want. We want motivated students to plan out a program they want to take and will truly be benefi- cial Dr. Cerutti sees the program as a tool in meeting the strategic goal of Increasing enrollment at ECU by attracting students from other schools that have more numer- ous majors and larger academic programs. It will also serve as a means to provide challenges to students already enrolled at ECU. "I believe in the mission of East Carolina to improve itself academically and I saw this program as a way of cultivating the best students and getting average students to work harder and take a little Initiative in planning out their future Cerutti said. "One of the things that really helps a uni- versity is the success of it's students. If a student goes out and does good things, East Carolina University also reaps the benefits One of our students was selected for a very competitive program and is currently in Rome, these are opportunities where all our students are competing with other stu- dents from universities all over the coun- try Recent graduates of the program have expressed interest In attending graduate school, and Dr. Cerutti said he believes they are well prepared in this regard. "Once universities start seeing students from East Carolina prepared to go to grad- uate school, then the reputation of East Carolina is enhanced as well Cerutti said. Other multidisciplinary type programs have been already been proposed and implemented at both the undergraduate and graduate level at ECU. Coastal Studies is currently offered as a minor which has been proposed as a new major and may be available as early as next year pending approval. The student comes up with their own curriculum that will allow students to design their own degrees i Dr. Steve Cerutti Director of Multidisciplinary Studies A new Ph.D program In Coastal Resources Management will enroll its Inaugural class of 12 students this fall and has multidisciplinary tracks in social sci- ence, maritime studies, geosclence and ecology. Drawing on existing expertise across different departments is the key to a successful multidisciplinary program. "The faculty involved In multidiscipli- nary programs In both the undergraduate and doctoral programs have distinguished records In research, publications, external support, and serve as advisors to local state and national governments said Dr. Lauriston King, director of the Coastal Resources Management Ph.D. Program. "Within universities future career prospects and problems must be addressed by the many disciplines that bear on these issues King said. The ultimate goal is making sure the students are successful and are employed or accepted to graduate school once they have graduated. "There's a lot of employers out there who need people with a variety of sklllssald Dr. Jim Westmoreland, director of Career Services. "Many employers would be attracted to graduates of multidiscipli- nary programs, anything from Insurance companies, newspapers?people who are good writers and communicators, and stu- dents who can combine a variety of work and school experiences should be able to find some good opportunities. Preparing a job search for multidisciplinary graduates is virtually the same as traditional degree programs However, according to Westmoreland, it is still vital to participate In the resume building experiences that students on a traditional track might do. "Whatever the major might be, it is still important to remind them to do the net- working and resume development, which our office stands ready to help them with at any time Westmoreland said. "These skills are needed In every major; even those who are in business or computer sci- ence where they may be trained for a spe- cific area A well- rounded student Multidisciplinary Studies lets students integrate many facets of the university into one major. Photos by Robin Vuchnich Multidisdplinary Studies allows students to personalize majors Co-op helps students gain work experience Offke serves as connection for internships Cory Sheeler NEWS F.DITOR The cooperative education office gives students an opportunity to gain work experience in their field of study, without making a serious commitment to a career that they may later regret. Co-op helps students decide on what kind of career they want to pursue after graduation by placing them in temporary jobs during the summer, or throughout the regular school year. By being placed in this temporary situation, students can decide if the field is something that they would like to pursue later on in life. "Our main objective is to have students gain practical work experi- ence in their chosen field of study said Larry Donley, coordinatoredu- cation specialist. "Co-op is available to anyone who is enrolled at ECU. The only real requirement is that they have a 2.0 grade point average. "The only way around that is if they are required to have work experience for their major. In that case, a faculty advisor can sign-off on it and we'll work with them According to Donley, students who are enrolled in cooperative education are more likely to find a job after they graduate. "If students go through a Co-op program while they are in school, they find a job about two times faster than a student who doesn't do Co-op Donley said. "Not only do our statistics indicate that, but other Co-op statistics around the country show similar statistics This belief is shared by many employers as well. Robert Marini, chairman and CEO of Camp Dresser & McKee, a leading envi- ronmental engineering firm, says a college degree does not guarantee a job. Rather, students should take advantage of what Co-op programs have to offer. "It's clear that a college degree no longer guarantees even the brightest student gainful employ- ment in his or her chosen field Marini said. "The skills demanded of today's new graduates are more challenging and diverse than ever before. "As educators and employers, it is incumbent upon us to help them develop these skills, so that they can become sought after and valu- able employees.

Jury 7, 1999 DWJ charge dropped against Carolina Panther CHARLOTTE (AP) - A judge dis- missed a drunken-driving charge against Carolina Panthers defensive end Jason Peter, saying botched paperwork outweighed evidence showing the player was legally drunk. Mecklenburg County District Judge C. Jerome Leonard agreed with a defense argument Monday that the driving-while-impaired charge was tainted because a magis- trate's order signed after Peter's arrest was improperly dated. Peter was arrested March 14 but the mag- istrate's order was dated March 24. "There's negligence in this case defense attorney George Laughrun said. "For whatever reason, the wre's stuck with the mistake Prosecutor Tommy Simpson said the state would appeal the matter to Superior Court, but Laughrun said it was unlikely the case would even make it to trial on that level. Laughrun said he would argue that because evidence in the case was introduced Monday in Leonard's courtroom, hearing the matter at a higher level would violate Peter's right to protection against double-jeopardy. Peter, who also had been charged with speeding for driving 81 mph in a 55 zone at the time of his arrest, entered a guilty plea to a reduced charge of driving 70 in a 55 zone. Leonard fined him $100 and ordered him to pay an additional $86 in court costs. Woman cashes in on Powerball jackpot ROSEVILLE, Minn. (AP) - A 21- ycar-old woman who makes $9 an hour at a mortgage company called her boss to say she wouldn't be in because of a death in the family, then stepped forward Thursday to claim a $150 million Powerball lottery jackpot. Farrah Slad beat 80-million-to- 1 odds to win the third-biggest prize ever in the multistate lottery and one of the richest jackpots ever claimed by an individual. Ms. Slad said she bought $5 worth of tickets at a store on the spur of the moment after stopping because her 1991 Acura Integra was running low on gas. She was on the way to her parents' house for dinner and hadn't bought any tickets since last summer. "I thank my parents and my tar for this the single young woman said with a big smile at lottery headquarters in this St. Paul sub- urb. Ms. Slad held the only winning ticket for Wednesday night's draw- ing, which had a jackpot of $150 million over 25 years. She elected instead to receive a lump sum of $78.8 million, or $50.4 million after state and federal taxes are with- held. Ms. Slad saw the winning num- bers on television Wednesday night while rewinding a videotape of "Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery "We looked it over a hundred times and it didn't seem real she said. Ms. Slad, who lives in Brainerd, called her boss at MorNorth mort- gage Wednesday night and told him a family member had died and she wouldn't be in to work Thursday. After a sleepless night spent pondering the possibilities, she stepped forward. On her list of things to do and buy: travel to Mexico, a new car, a house, "good deeds" and possibly veterinary school. She also plans to buy a dream house, trucks and boats for her parents. And she acknowledged: "I'm going to meet people who say they've known me forever Heat conlmued limn page I more quickly. If a person becomes dehydrated, there are many symp- toms that you can look for according to the Red Cross. These symptoms are headaches, lightheadedness, nausea, skin cool and pale, fatigue and dizziness. If these symptoms are not treated, a person can devel- op heat stroke. Meat stroke can be fatal. ECU students realize the magnitude of the heat as well as what it can do to you. There are many different strategies that arc used to keep cool in these sultry summer days, and one of the most common is to avoid the sun alto- gether. "I stay inside to avoid the heat said Nykoll Williams, senior.While many students stay indoors to try to beat the heat, there is one more important factor that goes into spending the day inside.

Rated R Max Fischer is a precocious 15- year-old whose reason for living is his attendance at Rushmore, a private school where he's not doing well in any of his classes, but where he's the king of extracurricular activities - from being in the beekeeping society to writing and producing plays, there's very little after school he doesn't do. His life begins to change, however, when he finds out he on academic probation, and when he stumbles into love with Miss Cross, a pretty teacher of the elementary school at Rushmore. Added to the mix is his friendship with Herman Brume, wealthy industrialist and father to boys who attend the school, and who also finds him- self attracted to Miss Cross.

OPINION DEMOSTHENES Sexuality should be viewed as a beautiful and expressive enti- ' ty that dwells inside all of us. The human body is a beautifully crafted work of art, yet the censor- ship boards and the legislatures in this coEintry are in a constant battle to cover it up. Nudity and sexual expression are illegal except under specifically controlled conditions, and, as a result of this stifling repres- sion, we have many problems. J People need to express them- selves sexually. It is part of being a 6u man being and living a wholly ful- Clled life. It is not an absolute neces- sity such as food and shelter but rather a factor which improves the Let it out quality and meaningfulness of life. What happens when you take away people's ability to express themselves? A pent-Eip energy begins growing inside which can occasionally show itself in twisted and violent outbursts. Sexuality in America is closely linked with vio- lence and degradation because people have had to find other means to release the energy that has built up inside of them. Sexuality should be viewed as a beautiful and expressive entity that dwells inside all of us. No one is devoid of all sexuality. Kveryone has the same fears, thoughts and dreams so why hold it all back? I am not suggesting people go around having sex in public nor that there should be no agreement over some rules of conduct. I am just confused at the Puritanical dam on the river of sexuality. Once the water builds up enough on one side, it is simply going flow around into new territory. In any case, you can not stop the water from flow- ing. A naked body should not be something people giggle or point fin- gers and snicker at when they see it in a movie. Why is there so much vio- lence on television yet you can not see a woman's naked breast? Why was it necessary to create special laws just so a woman could breast feed in public? The human body should be something held in reverence and awe as one of the most exquisite creations every witnessed on this planet. You are beautiful; you are perfect just the way you are. I -ct no one tell you otherwise. Be at peace until we OPINION SUSAN WRIGHT Summer days are here again Well, if I got to choose my poi- son, I cannot think of many that are more appealing than barbecued chicken. After what seems like an eternity of rain, mist, cloudy skies and other yucky and depressing weather phe- nomena, we finally get to see some sunshine here in Greenville. This new wave of sunny skies is wonder- ful for me because I love to be warm and my tan is fading fast. Thank goodness summer is here again! There are many fun things to do in the summertime. Personally, I prefer the pool. The cool water is great, but the chlorine that you get in you eyes is definitely a draw- back. If you are a blonde like me, you also have to deal with the pos- sibility that you may have green hair at the end of the summer. That is not a good thing because my hair cannot get much shorter than it is already! A backyard barbecue is always fantastic. Normally, the food is great when it is cooked outside, but there have been a couple of times when the food was so burnt that I worried that the amount of carcinogens that I was consuming would cancel out my many years of not smoking. Well, if I got to choose my poison, I cannot think of many that are more appeal- ing than barbecued chicken. The potato salad is always tasty, and no one can forget the sweet tea. Someone I know takes great comfort in the fact that there will always be sweet tea. Enough about food because I am beginning to make myself hungry! What else can you do in the summer? There is always live music play- ing somewhere, a game of volleyball going or a beach that is calling your name. Whatever it is that you do, you had better get out there and do it before the sun takes another recess behind the clouds. We'll all have to pull on our jeans again, and you have missed your opportunity for green hair, carcinogenic chicken, and black eyes from volleyball. Don't let these sunny days casually pass you by! b . idh, y&TMimpi$cifaNAPi Stupes it a ne tofcWHflfc srupeMS Pick wC ow cm&es OF STUpW A OtpGg. -TV IZACN M0& A0OU? MBSCfy IM bwu?j?,12 courses of wome JJ anjp a omuz in yfirfMiftr tofiscr ouyiew In the modem working world, it is becoming increasingly important to be well versed in many areas. Many of us receive the preparation and job skills neces- sary for us to enter the profession of our choice. Unfortunately, many of us will enter college and choose a field which seems to fit our desired profession only to later realize that we arc ill prepared for our chosen field. As a result, not only are time and money thrown down the drain, but we may also feel that we should simply abandon all hope for our dream job and instead scrtle for an occupation for which we have been preparing. In an effort to combat the limitations of the average major, ECU is now offer- ing a major in die field of Multidisciplinary Studies. For those of you who are unfa- miliar with this new major, it is a way for a student to direct his or her own curricu- lum based upon courses which are relevant to the student's intended profession. Now before you go storming off to the undergraduate offices with your change of major forms, you need to realize that this is a serious major designed, in theory, to benefit students who may be interested in fields of study not currently offered. In our view this, on paper, is a very exciting and novel idea. Imagine the stu- dent who dreams of being a film maker, yet feels uncomfortable as a Theater major, stifled by the English department and unsure in the Art building. With the option of a Multidisciplinary Studies major available, this student could build a concise plan of study focusing on these three courses of study which are each integral parts of film making. The same could be said for an aspiring cartoonist or advertising executive or anything. The possibilities are endless. However, the possible downside is that the student mentor factor in this new major may not be emphasized enough. Students could take advantage of this new program to slide by, taking easy courses with no real plan of ever using their degree. Let us all hope that both the students and faculty involved in the initial phases of ushering in this new major will realize the possibilities it can create. Otherwise, it may turn out to be what it sets out to destroy, college students' money wasted as well as their time. JZp LtAl?' OPINION SCOTT WILKINS Joys found in moving The elusive promise of free beer after the job is done will usual- ly bring eager movers to your door. This week I am writing on a subject that we can all relate to: moving. Yes, it is something each of us has had to experience in some form or another. Whether it is moving from one house to another or from your house to the dorm, moving has afflicted us all. I have moved five times since coming to ECU in 19. I am preparing for my sixth move on August 1st. I lave no fear, this opin- ion columnist isn't leaving Oreenville, just moving across town. I could never leave my fiancee. (You may know her, she's Susan, the other opinion columnist.) There is more to moving than just packing boxes. Moving is, in essence, a new way of life. Everything changes; your resi- dence, your neighbors, your per- spective. Your sense of who you are in the world has much to do with where you live. Moving also involves those nasty change-of-address cards from the I ISPS. Of course, this doesn't mean that all of your mail gets there on time ? or even gets there at all. Biting my nails wondering if my credit card bill has been lost in the transition is not one of my favorite pastimes. Moving also involves friends. It is next to impossible to move by oneself, especially if one has large furniture. Making friends with someone who owns a pickup truck would certainly be considered in good taste. Strong backs are usually consid- ered a plus in moving as well. The elusive promise of free beer after the job is done will usually bring eager movers to your door. A round of brew for everyone! Moving also usually involves blood, sweat, and tears. The sweat comes from moving a 200-pound couch and an even heavier enter- tainment center. The blood comes from me maiming myself in some way during the move and the tears are twofold: the pain of injuring myself and the cost of the move from one place to another. My cur- rent move is costing me everything but my right lung. My checkbook is smoking from all the checks I have written lately. They're all good, of course. Moving is a pain, yet it can be fun as well. Don't think of it as lift- ing your mattress up three flights of stairs, think of it as an adventure. OPINION CHRIS SACHS TV for the intellectually challenged How can one admit something is fake and then shell out $39.95 to watch it? That is the very definition of stupid; I looked it up. Let me make something clear: I'm a man; a male. But I agree with all the women when they say that pro- fessional wrestling is the most stu- pid and ridiculous waste of time this country has invented. Now I love rough sports, don't get me wrong. I'm a member of a boxing gym, and I love football, rugby, and chess ? all the dangerous sports. But let me say now and forever WRESTLING IS NOT A SPORT. I am sorry if the rednecks and the Cro-Magnon losers are offended, but the tnith needs to be told. Wrestling has scripts that are followed, fake injuries and pain and referees that fall somewhere in between worth- little and worthless. Now wrestling is fine for kids (I condone any violence for impressionable youth) because wrestling is just like cartoons, except for the fact that it is real. Cartoons are better than wrestling in two ways. A.) Cartoons require intelligence. B.) Cartoons are not on Pay-Per- View. The funny thing is when I see adults watching this stuff. Can they really be so intellectually bankrupt to think that this stuff is real? If they know it's not real, then why watch such a moronic thing? How can one admit something is fake and then shell out $39.95 to watch it? That is the very definition of stupid; I looked it up. I guess could say the same thing about women and their soap operas, but I excuse women because they admit it is not real and they just want to lose themselves for an hour (or six) in a fantasy world where love and pas- sion sweep away their souls. Hey, Shakespeare did the same thing. Love and passion never beat the hell out of a seven-foot steroid monster with a dining room table. Women have class; they know how to enjoy a fantasy show. You don't see grown women walking all over town with T-shirts that say, "Luke and Laura Rule "Save Samantha and " Bo and I lope are better than yon I see grown men -adults - with hats, bumper stickers, T-shirts, jackets, towels, toilet paper and lunch boxes with dumb phrases like: "Austin 3:16 said so and "The rock is gonna rock your world all the time. I actually saw a car once that had an etched pic- ture of some ape named "Goldberg" on their rear window. Give me a break. NWO: are you serious? There wasn't enough crap in the wrestling world already, so 1 now they have gang wars against each other! Look all you wrestling- loving sheep, I used to work for Rick Flair (for all you intelligent people out there, he was a profes- sional wrestler), and he secretly told me me many things. But in a nutshell, the most important thing he told me was that wrestling is 100 fake. He actually made fun of the people that take it as serious- ly as they do. And who should know better than the guy who has been draining your wallets (and your IQ) for years now in that so called "sport"? The real disappointment comes in the fact that during the amount of time one sits watching those wastes-of-oxygen jump all around the ring like orangutans on angel dust, beating themselves senseless, they could have done something constructive, like read a good book, volunteer, study or buy booze for underage freshman. You know in the fall it takes only 50,000 book sales for a book to make the New York limes Best Seller's List in a country of 270 million. That's pathetic! Yet tens of millions watch wrestling every week. C'mon peo- ple, we can do better. If you must watch TV, and you go to a bar that has nights set aside for wrestling and shows it on 23 big screens all over the place, take a stand and demand that "60 Minutes" must be turned on instead. You will feel bet- ter as well as the rest of us. . ? ' 4 Wednesday. July 7. 1999 features 5 Widntsdiy, July The East Carolinian Bands perform nigjitly at bars Katik Williams si uk wmtkr The popularity of the live music scene in downtown Greenville is rapidly expanding. There used to be a very limited number of places that had live music, now almost every bar or restaurant hosts a band at least once a week. Six local bars and restaurants were contacted and asked what type of bands they SK ROCKS QREENVillE have and what type of crow they draw. From Peasant's to Staccato's, there is at least one place that will appeal to your tastes. On Fifth Street, there is the Attic where you can catch some form of live entertainment almost every night. Whether it be beach music, rock and roll, an '80's cover band, or a popular regional band, the Attic has plenty of dancing room and bars to ful- fill your needs. There is not a typical crowd that hangs out at the Attic; it really depends on which band is play- ing. 'The cover charge also varies according to the band. "I like to groove to the bands at the Attic said Brian Myerhoffer, F.Cl alumna. 'The Attic expanded last fall to suit the needs of others like Brian who enjoyed dancing to the music. 'The Attic is now the largest bardance club in Greenville. It has been listed iri Playboy magazine as one of the 100 best bars in America. j Just a few doors down on Fifth Street is Boli's restaurant. If you are looking for something fun to do and you don't want to spend a lot of money, Boli's is the place to go. Every Tuesday night they have live music, but you better get there early because it only sits 125 people. The bands at Boli's usually play music you can sing along with, such as top 40 hits with some oldies songs as well. The age group of the people that you will typically find at Boli's on Tuesday night range from college students to people who are 35. There is no cover charge, and they have great drink specials. Across the street at BW-3's is typically populated by people who are 20 to 30 years old. They have live music mainly on Wednesday and Thursday nights, but occa- sionally they play music on other nights of die week Hie music is mostly acoustic. There is no cover at BW-3's. Around the corner at Peasant's, you can find the biggest variety of music along with the widest variety of people. Peasant's has live music 'Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and on Wednesday, they feature a DJ. The charge to get in depends on the band performing that night, but it is rarely more than five dollars. What type of crowd can you expect to see at Peasant's? Well, if you are there on the infamous mug night, which is 'Tuesday, it tends to be more sorority and fraternity members. On the weekends, it is a very laid-back crowd with peo- ple from age 18 to 60. Peasant's hires many local bands as well as bands from all over the country. "1 go to Peasant's every 'Tuesday for mug night because its cheap and there is always a cool crowd there said Jackie Wright, junior. If you want something a little farther away from the heart of the downtown bar scene, you might want to try Courtyard 'Tavern's Yard Party. Each Sunday from 7 to 11p.m Courtyard entertains a crowd of 11-A2 year-olds with local bands such as the Magic Pipers, Groove Riders, and Matt Thomas with Slip Joint. They also have a large outdoor patio where you can sit and enjoy their awe- some drink specials and listen to live music. "I like to go there because it is a relax- ing atmosphere said Brandon Lawn, senior. And if jazz or the blues is your thing, check out Staccato's every Thursday from 9 to 12p.m. It is a very relaxed atmosphere, and the typical crowd is composed of sin- gle, young professionals. As with many of the other lie music locations in Greenville, there is no cover charge. They do not offer any drink specials because they are more restaurant-oriented, however, they do pro- vide several entree specials. If you aren't interested in any of these, there are several other places to listen to live music in Greenville. There is Music by the Waterfront on Sundays at the Town Commons. Everybody's favorite new restaurant. Ham's, also has live music on Wednesday nights. If you like to be a part of the live music entertainment, you can sing karaoke at Underwater on Wednesday nights, or you can just listen to the other college students' attempts at music.

I spoke with Gloria Poythrcss from Wilson about the festivities that occurred on Independence Day. She was very generous and polite. I was curious how and why she got involved in this strange amusement business. She said that her husband's grandmother used to have a food joint at the fair. He used to enjoy watching them put things together when he was young. After they were married, they started out with two amuse- ments, a Ferris wheel and a swing, then began to buy others. The Sharpsburg (VA) 100th anniversary was their first spot. That was over 17 years ago, when she was 25. They now have 24 rides. "The Jaycees asked us if we could come back Poythress said.

Now that Lecter is back, she is the only one who can find him. There is another character look- ing for Dr. Lecter, and this man suffered at his maniacal hands. revenge and pleasure, and he will not be denied. If graphic descriptions and tales of terrible cruelty will not give you. nightmares for weeks, this is ani interesting novel with many intriguing twists. The description that Harris uses captures the senses and draws you into his world. All of FBI intrigue, refined tastes, torture, cannibalism and revenge all enter into Hiinnihfil, the sequel to The Silence of the Lambs by Thomas Harris. Dr. Hannibal Lecter, now freed from prison, continues to elude any law enforcement by using his clever and resourceful mind as well as his ability to kill without remorse. He is an intrigu- ing character. Initially, he is mere- ly a nithless killer, but as his char- acter grows, he becomes a man of cultured tastes, a lover and a pen- sive older brother. The many faces of Hannibal Lecter are exposed through his actions and his relation- ship with Clarice Starling. Clarice, a beautiful FBI agent, forms a relationship with Lecter in the first book, and she is now haunted by his memory. Crimes that bear his signature as well as notes in his copperplate hand begin to appear, and she has no choice but to delve into the past and their conversations.

July 7. 1999 6 Malik makes an impression Herrion s basketball camp is a hit with kids I'KIKK DAWVOT si'Urts cumin Basketball stars seem to have a habit of following old coaches. For Michael Jordan, it was Dean Smith. For San Antonio Spurs Forward, Malik Rose, it is Pirates head coach Bill Herrion. Area kids who attended Herrion's basketball camp last week were given a special treat when Rose, who recently won the NBA championship, visited. Rose, a former standout for Herrion at Drexle University, was fresh off an NBA season that brought him many rewards. Rose is known as one of the most improved players in the league. He participated and later won the NBA championship, and time was something that Rose did not have in abundance. Rose, however, saw the importance of giving back to his roots. Herrion said that it was not hard getting Rose to come to the camp. "I spoke with Malik once a week while he was going through the playoffs, and he agreed to come once the season was over Herrion said. The week long camp for boys and girls age 6 12 - 17 focused on many aspects of the game, espe- cially sticking to the fundamentals. Rose visited on Friday, and while he was there, he sought to teach the kids many important aspects, including his favorite, the pick and roll. Aside from the basketball pointers, he also offered advice to the kids on becoming a better per- son. Rose, while still not seeing as much playing time as he would liked2.9 mpg), understands his value to the Spurs, and made cer- tain that all the kids attending understood that everybody is important to the team. "My role for the Spurs is to get out of the way of Tim and Dave; to come in with a lot of energy off the bench. The time I was in there was minimum so I had to maximize my output Rose said. Herrion said that Rose has qualities which go unnoticed by many in the league, but these qualities often are extremely important. The role played by Rose is similar to Charles Barkley or Dennis Rodman because they are all necessary components to the team, but they are not high scorers. "Malik was only recruited by- three colleges out of high school Kids at the Bill Heron Basketball Camp raise their hands for the chance to run through a pick and roll drill with Malik Rose of the San Antonio Spurs.

Justice announced his resigna- tion late in June, and Athletic Director, Mike Hamrick, con- firmed the resignation through the university on June 23. Justice said he resigned because he wanted to spend more time with his wife, Sharon, and their children, Andrea, five, and Dylan, one. An opportunity to teach at Pitt Community College gave him the chance to be at home more often. The biggest reason was to get the opportunity to stay at home more Justice said in an interview with the Daily Reflector. "In the course of a year, I travel at least 40 weekends. I felt I needed to be home more.

As a student, he served as the football team's equipment manager since there was no cross country team for him to join. After completing his degree in 1985, the univer- sity offered him a full time job as equipment manager. Three years later, Justice took a year off to run competitively but soon returned to begin working on his masters degree in business administration. By this time, ECU had begun a cross country program coached by John Welborn. He talked Justice 10 year-old Kramer Sneed dribbles past Malik Rose while learning about the pick and roll during the Bill Heron Basketball Camp. PH0T0 AND CAPTION BY JEAN HENRI WHITE.

The third most important is to work hard and never give up Malik Rose San Amomo Spins Rose advised kids to focus less on strategy and more on experiencing themselves if they want to make it to the NBA. This advice also applies to the younger crowd which has been developing pre- maturely in the NBA. He believes that making an impact on the court. is a skill which takes time to develop " Some, like Kobe (Bryant), are doing well, but the odds are against a high school kid coming in and i making an immediate impact Rose said. " I would rather see col- lege kids getting drafted over young kids just out of high school Herrion has offered basketball camps for over six years at Drexle. j He continues the tradition here ? and plans next year to continue the' camp as well as start a camp for fathers and sons. Herrion has paid little attention to the CAA high-rated preseason polls for ECU but instead likes to put his mind to other activities such as the camps and meetings with players during the summer. "When you change (schools),the biggest adjustment is getting to know the players as people, f am pleased with the progress made so far Herrion said.

After a roller coaster ride last sea- son concluding with the changing of the guard for ECU coaches, the men's basketball team has been predicted to finish second in the conference. "It's great to be picked high, but it presents a big challenge for the players said Bill Herrion, ECU men's basketball coach. A summer vote by the nine Colonial Athletic Associations coaches tabbed ECU for a second place top finish in the 1999-2000 season. This was an overwhelm ing improvement from last season in which the team finished sev- enth in the conference. First-year coach. Bill Herrion, welcomes back an entire roster except for point guard Alico Dunk. ECU is expected to finish behind George Mason, defending conference champions. George Mason is the coaches' choice to repeat as the conference champion George Mason, like ECU, wel- comes back four of the five starters from their 1998-1999 season. Despite missing nine games due to a fracture in his lower left leg, forward Evaldas Joeys, who led the pirates in both points ( 13.8) and rebounds (6.2), was named to the preseason All-CAA first team. Joining Joeys were George Mason center George Evans, Richmond forward Charles Stephens, James Madison guard Jabari Outtz, and guard LeMar Taylor of Virginia Commonwealth. In addition to Joeys, senior guard Garrett Blackwelder (11.8 ppg, 46 three-pointers), junior guard-forward David Taylor (7.3 gpg, 4.1 rpg), and 6'8" senior Neil Punt (7.2 ppg, 4.9 rpg) return to play for ECU as starters.

Rounding out the projected team finishes behind George Mason and ECU were Richmond, VCU, Old Dominion, James Madison, UNC- Wilmington, American and William & Mary. George Mason garnered five of the nine first place votes while ECU received two and Richmond one. "A poll in the summer is nice, but unfortunately the poll we are going to be concerned about is the one at the end of the year Herrion said. The ECU women's basketball team was picked third in the sum- mer poll, right behind George Mason. "It's great that the coaches think so highly of the team, but it's what we do during the year that counts said Debbie Gibson, ECU women's coach. Old Dominion led the poll with eight first place votes. In last year's CAA Tournament, ECU was run- ner up to ODU. "In last summer's poll, we were picked to finish 9th in the tourna- ment and we finished 5th Gibson saidIt was a great achievement The women's pre-season selec- tions as player of the year were led by Old Dominion's Lucienne Berthieu. ECU's Danielle Melvin, who averaged 11.8 points and 8.6 rebounds a year ago, was also named along with CJeorge Mason's Jen Surlas and Trish Halpin, and American's Kate Miller. georges hair designs ?

To reflect on another's comment that a state run school for speech & hearing impaired's teaching method "is child abuse is to recall an ex- perience of seeking workstudy students at a state run school for the handicapped. After exploring with the job counselor a workstudy op- portunity where an apparent 'handi- cap was actually a blessing in meeting a particular job need I was - introduced to a vocational educatot After some comfortable 'shop talk I addressed as I had with coun- selor that there was one condition a perspective student would need to meet. They would need to put in writing their answers to the ques- tions "Is World Peace possible? and Why or why not? and be open to open discussion of their an- swers The educator said "World peace is not possible end of discus- sion please leave Though I left the place behind the issue the students ft educator remain in the front of my mind.
