Student Body President
Major: Graduate Student,

Marketing degree. May 1999,
East Carolina University
View on SGA: SGA gives students
their link to a "fair share" on our campus.
It gives them the chance to actually have
a voice and make decisions that impact
our student body. For example: the
Student Recreation Center. The SGA put
that into the workings for our university.
And especially now. as the University is
overlooking the master plan, we, the stu-
dent body, can have a huge voice in what
will happen over the next few years
as we start to grow rapidly.
John P. Meriac
Vice President
Mejor: PsychologyBusiness
View of SGA: Students should get
involved in SGA to get a feel of what it is
like to work with and help many people
from all areas of campus and to gain an
insider's perspective of how ECU works.
Overton Harper, III

New vice chancellor named
Moore to oversee
student services
Terra Steinbeiser
staff writer
Dr. Garrie Moore has been appoint-
ed as the new vice chancellor for the
Division of Student Life.
Moore came to ECU last year as
assistant to the chancellor and direc-
tor of equal opportunity employ-
ment, after working a? the dean of
students at Pitt Community College
for a number of years.
As a part of the Student Life divi-
sion, he takes part in overseeing the
many services it offers. They
include a variety of non-academic
student activities and programs,
including housing and dining ser-
vices, recreation and intramural,
minority student affairs, financial
aid, orientation, career services and
student health services.
The University of North
Carolina Board of Governors
acknowledged Moore's appoint-
ment as vice chancellor at a meeting
on Aug. 13 in Cullowhee.
"I am very pleased that Dr.
Moore has accepted this appoint-
ment as vice chancellor said
Chancellor Richard Eakin. "He has
a distinguished record of service to
higher education and to this region.
I know that he will continue the tra-
dition of outstanding leadership in
the Division of Student Life
In the excitement of taking on a
new position, Moore has not over-
looked the fact that there will be
challenging times ahead.
"My first goal is to take a look at
the existing programs to see if
they're meeting the needs of the
students. Then we can move on to
see if we have the resources to begin
new things Moore said. "The
challenges will include making sure
we have appropriate quality housing
and financial aid programs that are
meeting the needs of students. We
have to become equipped and stay
equipped
Moore is replacing Dr. Alfred
Matthews, a faculty member who
will be missed.
"In his 10 years here, Matthews
invested a lot into the growth and
development of the University,
from buildings such as Wright Place,
Todd Dining Hall and the Student
Rec Center to new student leader-
ship programs said Dr. Richard
Speier, dean of students. "His vision
is going to be missed
"However, Dr. Moore brings a
new vision to the University. He's
very concerned with the way the
students think, feel and act Speier
said.
Overall, Moore feels that the
transfer of leadership within the
division will be successful.
"I'm really excited about the
staff Speier said. "They're all
energetic well-qualified, knowl-
edgeable, student-centered and
working hard to stay on the cutting
edge

Dean of students visits ROTC camp
Speier experiences
trenches of Fort Louis
Angela Harne
staff writer
This summer camouflage, danger
and heat surrounded Dean of
Students, Dr. Ronald Speier. This
was quite a contrast from his office
environment.
Speier and his wife were invited
by the ROTC to take part in the
summer ROTC program in Fort
Louis, Washington. Upon comple-
tion of the course, the dean was
presented an ROTC Advanced
Camp 1999 plaque.
Captain Donald Mundy pre-
sented the dean with the plaque,
commenting on how proud he was
of his cadets. Many of the them had
gone through the course with
Speier.
"Thank you very much, I truly
appreciate it said Speier, receiv-
ing his plaque. "I took great pride
in wearing the uniform while I
went throughout the course
"He successfully completed a
rough course Mundy said.

Report rates ECU 7lh
Phillip Gilfis
assistant news editor
ECU is ranked seventh as a Top
Southern Public University, accord-
ing to the 2000 College Rankings
released this month by U.S. News
and World Report. The university is
also ranked 23rd among Southern
regional universities.
The magazine used each univer-
sity's academic reputation, retention
of students, faculty resources, stu-
dent selectivity, financial resources
and alumni generosity to decide the
rankings.
"I think it's wonderful said
Ronald Speier, dean of students.
"Our quality of faculty and types of
experiences that we offer in student
life, inside and outside the classroom
make us an excellent school
ECU was placed in the category
of "regional" schools, unlike UNC-
Chapel Hill and Wake Forest, which
were ranked in the "national univer-
sity" categories.
U.S. News and World Report
defined a "regional university" as
one that offers "a full range of under-
graduate and master's programs but
few, if any, doctoral programs
In the category of Southern
Public Universities, ECU tied for
seventh with UNC-Wilmington,
Winthrop University (S.C.) and
Longwood College (Va.).
Appalachian State ranks number
five, followed by UNC-Charlotte at
number six.
In the category of Southern
regional universities, ECU was tied
with Longwood College, UNC-
Wilmington, Winthrop University,
Bellamine College (Ky.) and
Christian Brothers University
(Tenn.).
"More and more people are view-
ing ECU as a good place to go to
school said John Durham, director
of News and Communications.
He added, though, that not too
much emphasis should be placed on
rankings.
'The University makes its poli-
cies based on how to make this a bet-
ter place to go to school, not on rank-
ings
Marion Sykes, senior associate
director of admissions, stated that
the rankings show that ECU has
"the right balance
"We have a great diversity of
degree programs, ranging from fine
arts to allied health programs he
said.
He added that ECU is large
enough to "make a complete college
experience but small enough to
have interaction among professors
and students in the classroom.

Colorado University's
human-rights repository in danger
University of Colorado?C.U. Boulder's campus may lose a significant portion of its world-renowned human-
rights repository because the preeminent archive program is not fiscally and philosophically compatible with the
goal of the university's so-called "Total Learning Environment" initiative, sources familiar with the situation told
the Colorado Daily on Tuesday.
C.U. Boulder's human-rights repository?currently the largest academic collection of non-governmental
human-rights materials in the world?contains documents donated by the Guatemala Human Rights
Commission, the Soviet Jewry Rescue Movement, and the El Salvador Archive Project. The repository is also
home to documents bestowed by Physicians for Human Rights, the Women's International League for Peace and
.Freedom and the U.S. Department of State, which endowed to C.U. its files pertaining to atrocities committed
by Jraqi secret police forces during the Persian Gulf War.
In January, C.U. announced with much fanfare yet another major acquisition: The New York-based Human
Rights Watch organization?which has compiled voluminous files on human-rights violations around the world?
had agreed to entrust all of its documents to C.U.
But on Tuesday, a Human Rights Watch employee who spoke on the condition of anonymity said that the
organization is very frustrated with the lack of institutional support that C. U. has given the files. According to the
employee, the organization may try to reclaim its materials so that it can entrust them to an institution that could
better promote their historical importance to the public.
Religions converge at
Indiana University in celebration
Indiana University ? A swami, a rabbi, a Buddhist, a Muslim, a priest and a nun walk into a church.
' It's not the beginning of a joke, or a meeting to argue religious differences. Instead, it was a celebration of the
similarities of their faiths.
Understanding among various religious faiths was a common objective as His Holiness, the 14th Dalai Lama
of Tibet, and other spiritual leaders led an "Inter-rcligious Vigil for World Peace Monday evening.
The event was cospon-ored by the Monastic Interreligious Dialogue and the Tibetan Culture Center in cel-
ebration of the Kalachakra for World Peace 1999.
The Dalai Lama recognized Sister Mary Funk of Our Lady of Grace Monastery in Beech Grove, his brother
Thubten Norbu of the TCC and others for planning of the vigil.
His Holiness' entrance was greeted by the sounds of the Drepung Loseling Monastic Choir and the Abbey
of Gethsemani Monastic Schola. All attendants rose and many bowed as the Dalai Lama walked down the aisle,
past an illuminated globe at the front of the church.
An invocation was given by representatives of I lindu, Islamic, Jewish and Christian faiths. Attendees includ-
ed Swami Varadananda, Dr. Shahid Athar, Rabbi Eric Bram, Father Tobias Colgan and Sister Mary Sue
Freiberger. Their speaking reflected similar ideals among faiths, recognizing one god, while praying for peace
and harmony.
Twenty minutes of silent meditation followed a performance of "Ave Maria" by cellist Michael Fitzpatrick
?jind harpist Laura Bryne. The silence was broken
:? when Fitzpatrick and pianist Loren Tice softly played Ravel's "The Pavane
; To conclude the vigil, participants followed each other around the displayed globe before exiting. Bassist
Anthony Stoops and flutist Lisha McDuff joined other musicians in playing a recessional song. The Dalai Lama
sailed and shook hands with attendants as he left the church.

The dean was able to see and

"Now I can be sensitive with the

return to the campus Speier said.
"The ROTC is a great program. It
started when I came to ECU, and

seventh anwng pub-
Ik: universities in IJhe
South and 23rd
among all Southern
regional acliools by
U.S. (Mows and World
Report magazine.
At times our university seems to have a negative image. Talk to a person
about ECU and they may start to ask about the "easy" classes, the downtown
activities and wild parties. But that is not ECU. This month we have been
ranked seventh among public universities in the South and 23rd among all
Southern regional schools by U.S. News and Worid Report magazine. And
rightly so. We offer over 14,000 students a variety of programs, both academ-
ic and recreational. There is a diverse group of degree programs to choose
from, with over 20 degree programs holding national accreditations. Our
School of Medicine draws students from everywhere and continues to excel
in its nursing programs. Our university is large enough to be involved in
Division I-A athletics, playing such schools as the University of Miami, West
Virginia University and Tulane University. We offer an amazing student
activity center at Mendenhall and an extensive Student Recreation Center.
There is a countless number of student organizations for every interest or
hobby a student has. But our school is also small enough to have a "small
town" feel. Most professors have personal interaction with their students,
calling them by name, unlike the lecture halls where "every student is just
another number This recent ranking of ECU in a magazine only encour-
ages our belief that ECU is one of the best. And though we may get an occa-
sional black mark on our record, we know that our students are trying their
best and our faculty and staff work hard.
OPINION
should be more careful
relieve it or not, there are some
B
ho would be saddened if little
I
&' me were to be flattened in the
?a
k Twiddle of campus by some mad
at
cyclist.
s
toie campus of ECU is seemingly
ftjerwhelmed with people on bicy-
gs lately. Daily, there seem to be
pre and more bicycles rolling over
r campus, and unfortunately, not all
JJU cyclists are smart, safe drivers.
I Traveling through campus, I have
jjd many close calls with bicycles. I
Ssa know that I am not the only one
who has suffered such close calls.
Everyday, I see cyclists who do not
seem to realize that our campus is a
busy place with people everywhere.
It is not a good idea to speed through
campus at high speeds, endangering
those on foot. It really makes me ill to
see someone on a bicycle hurdling
through with no regard for those
around them.
Obviously, many riders do not seem
to care about us poor lil' pedestrians
Today on campus I was nearly mn
over by at least three bicycles. 1 also wit-
nessed a near head-on collision involv-
ing two bicycles, and saw one biker
almost mn over some pxr girl with a
bag full of books. How malicious!
Granted, not all cyclists around
ECU are bad. I also do not have any-
thing against riding a bike on cam-
pus. I think that it is a convenient,
quick mode of transportation. My
beef is not with cyclists in general.
My concern is irresponsible riding.
Bikes can be dangerous and those
who ride through campus like a holy
terror are not being fair to those on
foot or to those cyclists who ride
responsibly.
If you are going to ride a bike
through campus, please do so careful-
ly. I xwk out for those of us not riding,
and also be aware of others who are.
Believe it or not, there are some who
would be saddened if little of me
were to be flattened in the middle of
campus by some mad cyclist.

whether 1 needed it or not?it did-
n't matter. Just as the hair was get-
ting long enough to hold onto, off it
came. That continued all through
high school. Fortunately, back then,
a lot of fathers still ran the family,
and there were a lot of us kids run-
ning around with short hair.
Then, in the 70s, all hell broke
loose. I went home from college for
Thanksgiving and I sat across the
table from my dad and my uncle
Earl. I was proud of my dad since he
always appreciated my coming
home. But uncle Earl was another
story. I remember him cutting into
the slab of ham on his plate and
without looking at me said, "you
now one of them hippies?" Things
got so quiet that I swear the turkey
let out a little gobble. I said, "great-
grand daddy had long hair and a
beard?I wonder if anyone thought
he was a hippie?" I remember the
sweat breaking on my forehead, and
I looked up at him keeping his eyes
on his plate. Hippies had more
important things going on back in
the 70s than family grief.
How many times have I heard
the expression "clothes make the
man?" Of course, I suspect the same
goes for women, too. But why some
people wear clothes that make them
look worse than they look, I can't
understand. And why would anyone
wear clothes that said "BUM" on
them? If you already look like a
bum, why advertise it? I think I'll
make a line of clothes named
"Flunky" and another called
"Slob I'm going to give Ralph and
Tommy a run for their money. And,
why pay good money to advertise
another person's name?that's for
kids who don't know who they are. I
wonder if they still make Roy
Rogers underwear?
I used to sweat it when I was a
kid and still had my brother's or
cousin's names sewn in my undies.
I was afraid if I got hit by a car, no
one would know who I was until it
was too late. I can see it now?
"here lies George Klutz
Several years ago, I found myself
struck by a train, and no, I wasn't in
the track. The only thing I could
think of, as I was lying there in the
dust, was whose name is in my
underwear? Then, I remembered I
was over 21 and hadn't worn anyone
else's underwear in years.
What I am trying to say is that
guys have it rough finding the right
length clothes, so give them a
break. If a girl's dress is too short,
who's going to point a finger?

Students can have positive impact
All I'm saying is just that
when you do get out into the
real world, do not forget about
the less fortunate.
Let me just start this off with a little
welcome back to everyone here at
good ol' ECl I. Now that the hellos are
exchanged, I feel the need to get this
off my chest. You know, everyday I
look around and realize how lucky I
am to be here. Lucky to Ix; in school,
lucky to have such a good group of
friends, and just lucky in general.
When I think about all the things that
could have gone wrong in my life, I
feel privileged to have the opportuni-
ty to better myself through higher
education.
I'm sure most of us here at ECU
are from North Carolina and know
that certain areas of the state are not
the best places to grow up in, but
somehow we still made it through
the rigors of early life and arrived
here (enough with the ramblings,
Patrick, get to the point). My point
is, when you come to ECU and get
your degree, don't forget about what
you left behind and just say "I'm
never going back to " You owe
that little town that you grew up in a
whole lot. Sure it may be riddled in
drugs, violence and ugly women, but
that is no excuse. Use this newfound
knowledge of the world and do
something with it I know it sounds
stupid, but HELP SOMEONE.
Not everyone is as fortunate as us.
Not everyone has a job right out of
school that starts at 25 grand. For
some people, it takes three to four
years combined to make that much
money. I'm not saying for everyone
to drop that $40,000 a year computer
analyst job and mn into the slums of
Kinston and throw $100 dollar bills
at poor people. All I'm saying is just
that when you do get out into the
real world, do not forget about the
less fortunate. You have to do some-
thing. Get involved with your
church, your community leaders, the
school board in your town and any-
thing that can make a positive differ-
ence in someone else's life. This is
not your choice, it is your duty.

MARVELLE
SULLIVAN
Laws of physics apply to relationships
No matter how hard we try as
humans to change other people
. and other thiug&jiie ean 't.
Much of the early work per-
formed in the field of physics was
devoted to explaining the concept of
motion. The result of this early work
and experimentation is adapted into
the commonplace way we all view
the world. Aristotle, Galileo and
Newton are three dominant figures
associated with the breaking ground
on the broad scope of the study of
physics. Although their work is now
in part revised, the impact of their
contribution is undeniable. So, what
is the point here? Interestingly
enough, the themes of their theories
and studies in explaining an object's
motion runs parallel to themes
regarding the fnotion of life.
One if the very first individuals
documented for investigating mat-
ters regarding physics is Aristotle. In
300 B.C he thought the world to
ultimately exist of four basic sub-
stances ? earth, air, water and fire.
While this theory is obviously in
error today, his further conclusions
on the placement tendency of these
substances relates to the placement
tendency in life. Aristotle claimed
that every substance desires to exist
in a certain place and will always
end up in that place despite its tem-
porary settling places. How true this
is of people and places today. No
matter how hard we try as humans
to change other people and other
things, we can't. Our attempts are in
vain because the while we may alter
people and things, the alteration is
only temporary and thus unsustain-
able. Basically, people are who they
are and things are what they are.
Furthermore, these people and
things will always revert to where
and what they were meant to be in
the first place because essentially,
that is their true desire in the
scheme of life. The only real, true
and permanent change can only be
made within you and should only be
made for you and no one else.
The second figure to study
physics occurred in the seventeenth
century. Galileo, in his study of the
universe, concluded that motion is
constant and unless bothered, it lasts
forever. This resulted in the "Law of
Inertia Inertia is the resistance to
change motion. This law implies fur-
ther that the greater the mass, the
greater the resistance to change
motion. How does this relate to the
real world? The larger something or
someone is in your life, the more you
resist its changing and the harder it is
for that thing or that person to
change in the role they play in your
life. Think about the things and peo-
ple that either mean a lot or consume
a lot of time. It should be apparent
that these are the very things, like
school, jobs, family ties and "signifi-
cant" (or soon to be insignificant)
others that you just can't change or
from which can't break away. That is
exactly why old niles are frustrating
? why long-term relationships
never seem to end and why old
habits die hard. Large amounts of
longevity, meaning and time
increase the constancy of a situation
and decreases the chance of those
situations changing in your life.
Sir Isaac Newton should be a rec-
ognizable name for anyone familiar
with math and science. He devel-
oped three laws regarding objects
and their motion that set the prece-
dent for the way motion is viewed
still today. His third law is best suit-
ed for the application to life. Often
called the "Law of Action and
Reaction Newton claimed that
forces occur in pairs and that for
ever action, there is an equal and
opposite reaction. So, the more you
put into someone or something, the
more you will receive, expect to
receive, and hurt if you do not
receive the extent of your efforts in
return. It's like studying all night for
a test and making a 50, or like being
for with someone for 2 years and
accepting that it just isn't going to
work out. The reaction of large
amounts of action exists in two
extremes ? really good or really
bad. This doesn't mean to not put a
lot of effort into something to avoid
disappointment, though. That
would be tragic because although
you will avoid defeat, you will never
experience success. It doesn't mean,
however, to adjust and prepare for
the results or the lack thereof of your
efforts.

Among the multitude of offers stu-
dents receive upon their arrival to
campus, one that always seems to
surpass all others would be credit
card companies. Solicitors offering
free gifts and "too good to be true"
offers can be overwhelming for
many. Arc our college campuses a
breeding ground for potential cred-
it card holders? Are college stu-
dents just setting themselves up
for some serious debt?
Credit card companies
have created a market
specifically for college
students, enticing them
with a variety of incen-
tives ranging from
posters and T-shirts to
bookbags and watches. All
you have to do is "sign up
and apply Some practical-
ly guarantee students a card
regardless of their credit his-
tory.
According to Discover card
online, they offer a specific site
for college students to apply for
a card, offering such things such as
no annual fees, discount rates on
CDs purchased on the Internet,
cash back bonus awards and what
they consider "competitive" inter-
est rates.
"ICredit card com panics! adver-
tise many gimmicks offering free
stuff, but we all know nothing is
truly free said Brooke Allen,
junior.
Another type of card that can be
found on campus would be the
Visa. If Visa creditors solicit on
campus, they usually offer free
novelty T-shirts in order to attract
students to sign up. Even if your
application isn't accepted, you at
least got a free shirt to add to your
vast wardrobe collection, right?
Well, not all students believe so.
"Students want the benefits of
of free T-shirts, but what they
don't realize is credit card compa-
nies sell their addresses to other
companies, which will just tempt
students to apply for more cards
said Stacey Pinney, sophomore. "I
believe signing up for all of those
cards ruins your credit line
One reason more students find
themselves applying for credit
cards once they get into colleges
because one of the first things they
hear is how necessary it is to build
a credit history.
According to Danielle Custis,
senior, she applied for credit cards
through the campus solicitors in
order to build a history of credit.
"When I first enrolled in
college, I knew
that
I need-
ed credit to
do anything in the "adult world
Custis said. "Without a credit basis
to build anything on, you really
can't get along
Offers of low APR, fixed rates
and the option of accumulating
free long distance when you make
purchases on a particular card con-
vinced Custis to apply for certain
cards.
"The accumulation of long-dis-
tance time is like having a prepaid
calling card, but it's perpetual
because you keep spending in
order to gain those 'free' minutes
Custis said.
The alumni association in con-
junction with BB&T sponsor a
credit card specifically aimed
towards juniors, seniors and alum-
ni.
"BB&T are our affinity credit
card partner said Phillip Home,
Associate Vice Chancellor of
Alumni Relations.
According to Home, stu
dent's approval is based on parents
and students' credit rating. Once
the student is approved, the line of
credit is usually minimal.
Like most credit cards, ' '0
the ECU Visa has its advantages.
The advantages of the card are
that it has a fairly competitive APR
rate Home said. "By virtue
to the affinity pro-
gram, a certain percentage of
the receipts of that credit
card program goes to the
alumni association,
which we use in turn
to promote stu-
dent arid alumni pro-
grams
The alumni asso-
ciation likes to
think of them-
selves as not just
sponsoring another
credit card for
uppcrclassmen
and alumni.
"As a total
package, the alum-
ni association's
affinity partner
offers several advantages for
the university in addi
tion to the
student,
I lorne said.
"Whereas some
the other credit
card compa
nies don't
have a rela-
tionship
with the
alumni
association
or the uni'ersity
beyond simply using stu-
dents as a demographic group to
which they can market and try to
make a profit
"We like to think of our credit
card as part of a larger benefits
package, primarily for alumni, but
we're glad to be supportive of stu-
dents and student activi-
ties I lorne said.
So with such a variety of
credit cards offered steps away
from one's residence hall or
classroom, do most students
acquire their first card on cam-
pus?
"I didn't get my credit card
from campus solicitors Allen
said. "You have to look around
for the best card to fit your
needs
According to Pinney,
although the big picture reads
'no annual fee' the small print
so much more.
"People need to go to

ly what

Earth Day still growing
Student participation
increases in recent years
Mikk Howards
STMf Ill'l KK
In the last 40 years, the once small
activity known as Earth Day has
grown into a world-wide event.
Even though Earth Day 1990 was
not quite "The Day the Earth
Stood Still by day's end organiz-
ers of Earth Day 1970 said that 200
million people in 140 nations had
taken part in the largest grass-roots
demonstration in history.
This year, on April 22, the cele-
bration of Earth Day will be taking
place all over the world. And guess
what? You too can participate this
year at ECU! Since the 1970s,
when people gathered to protest
the federal government's involve-
ment in Vietnam, hundreds of
activists received their unofficial
education in public speaking.
Today, many activists run various
public offices across the country.
Unfortunately, many are attempt-
ing to run the government into the
ground.
What is Earth Day? Mainly, it is
the realization each year that there
are limits to the abuse and destruc-
tion that occur on this planet with-
out causing irreversible changes.

Coming to college for the first time-
can be shocking as your life drasti-
cally changes. A helpful idea is to
seek out others with the same
interests that you have. A simple
way to do this is to join a campus
organization.
ECU offers a broad range of
organizations to choose from.
Three of which are the
International Student Association,
East Carolina Communication
Organization (ECCO) and the
ECU Marching Pirates.
The International Student
Association includes over 150 stu-
dents hailing from 59 different
countries. The association's main
purpose is to give international stu-
dents a chance to adjust to
American living.
"We have get-togethers said
Markus Doell, association presi-
dent from Germany. "We let peo-
ple bring in their own country's
food. We also participated in
Greenville's International
Festival
The association offers services
to help international students when ,
they need it.
"We have a little network j
Doell said. "If you have a problem,
you have someone that has been
here a while to help you
The association also gives
American students a chance to find
out about other countries and cul- '
tures. !

other undergraduates as well.

ize and produce before the popula-
tion reached one billion. According
to USA Today, this magical num-
ber occurred in 1804. The second
billion took only 74 years. By 1974,
we moaned and groaned our way to
over four billion. As luck would
have it, thanks to those individuals
who keep insisting to others "to go
forth, multiply and replenish the t
earth it took only another 13 years
to pump out another billion. If you
ever wonder why the roads seem so
crowded, why there is always a line
at the check-out and why tensions
are running so incredibly high these
days, perhaps it is a result of the 6
billion people competing for clean
air, pure water and a free lunch.
We've failed miserably in our mea-
ger attempt to control ourselves.
However, the numbers of con-
cerned citizens are steadily increas-
ing, meanwhile, more areas of the .
country are running out of water,
being subjected to genetically
altered foods to feed all of the hun-
gry mouths or dodging bullets from
gunmen who have lost their minds
from the all the pollution and noise!
Today is one of the most critical
moments in the history of life on

critical as tomorrow or the next day.

Professor Hill has taught classes
in both German and Spanish at
ECU since she arrived here in
1965. Her office, full of posters of
Latin American scenery as well
as books in English, Spanish and
German, is a testimony to her
interests in languages and travel.
Hill began her studies at
Mexico City College where she
earned her B.A. She continued
her studies at the University of
Southwest Louisiana and
Middlebury College in Vermont,
earning a master's in German and
an AND (All But Dissertation) in
Spanish. Her interests in lan-
guage stemmed from travels dur-
ing her youth and her strong
propensity for learning. At 13,
she moved from her home in
Germany to New Mexico, where
she learned Spanish and English
simultaneously.
Travel was natural for her, it
ran in her blood. Her father loved
to travel, and she very much
enjoys it as well. She has seen
many exotic places in the world.
Mexico, Hong Kong and China
are three of her favorites. The
United States also beckons her
with its many great scenic loca-
tions.
"Europe is so full of culture,
old world cities and beautiful
cathedrals said Hill.
She first began teaching out of
necessity, not out of desire. The
teaching certificate was some-
thing to fall back on, but once
she got into it. she was hooked.
Name
Hilda Hill
Department
Foreign Languages
Her husband was a professor at
ECU as well, and they have been
here quite a while. The classes
that are her favorite to teach are
Latin American Literature and
Latin American Business.
Obviously she has read many
books; her personal favorite is
Gabriel Garcia Marquez's One
Hundred Years of Solitude.
"It is powerful, and it speaks
about every aspect of Latin
American life that you could pos-
sibly imagine said Hill. "It
speaks to every possible aspect of
a reader's interests
If there is one thing she could
communicate to all students, it
would be that there is so much,
more for them than they realize.
"There's a whole big, wide,
beautiful world out there, and
every language is a world of its
own said Hill. "You become a
whole new person with every
language that you learn
When a person visits a country
where they can speak the native
language, they are welcomed as a
friend in that country instead of a
haughty American or a rich
tourist, according to Professor
Hill. Travel has been a source of
learning and enjoyment for her in
her life, and she encourages
ECU students to follow in her
footsteps and learn about the
world through experience as well
as literature and pictures.

Weaver shows versatility
Headcoach
pleased with switch
Ktkpiikn Sciikamm
SPOUTS KDITOK
Bobby Weaver came to ECU, a
quarterback with explosive speed
and loads of promise. Despite get-
ting injured twice last season, the
speed and the potential are still
there. Only now, they will be used
to move the ball on the ground
instead of through the air.
The 1998 season began with
sophomore Bobby Weaver taking
over as quarterback. Weaver led
the Pirates to two wins in his first
three starts, before the Oct. 3 home
game against Army.
Weaver threw for two touch-
downs and rushed for a third, fie
completed 16 of 23 passes for 255
yards. It was undoubtedly his best
game of the season, it also turned
out to be the worst when his season
began to unravel. He was sidelined
because of a sprained ankle in the
second half. David Garrard
stepped in and the Pirates held on
to win the game.
Garrard started two of the next
three games. The redshirt fresh-
man filled in nicely throwing for
430 yards and three touchdowns in
Weaver's absence.
Weaver's ankle healed and he
got the start against Houston. It
was on Halloween that his tri-
umphant return to the
starting lineup would
turn into a
nigh t-
mare.
He was
2 of 2 pass
ing for 29
yards when he went
down with an injured
knee. He had torn his
ACL and was done for
the season. Garrard
would go on to
the remainder of
games and wouli
be looked upon
to be the starte
For the "Jjd
campaign.
"I think I did a fair job
Weaver said. "I think we moved
the ball pretty well and every-
thing, but Dave's the quarter-
back now and that's what we've
got to concentrate on
Weaver's arm wasn't his only
weapon in 1998. His speed made
him a threat on the ground as well
as in the air. His versatility gave
him a second chance to be one of
the main contributors on the 1999
squad.
"Well, after the knee injury,
David stepped up as quarterback
and we had to get all of our best
athletes on the field and Weaver
is one of them said Steve Logan,
head football coach.
Before practices began, the
decision was made to make
Weaver a halfback. The Pirates
were deep at the position, but
they finished sixth out of eight
teams in the conference in rushing
offense in 1998.
"I welcomed the change with
open arms, I just want to get on
the field and play some ball and do
the best wherever I'm at Weaver
said.
Weaver will share time and car-
ries with junior, Marcellus Harris
and junior transfer, Keith Stokes.
Weaver has had little trouble
adjusting to his new position.
"He's doing well" Logam said.
"He's starting to get integrated
into the offense, learning how to
run the routes Logan said. "He
knows which routes to run, being
an ex-quarterback. I le just needs
to refine his route running tech-
nique
Weaver's work and versatility
will make him an integral part of
the 1999 Pirates.
"It's good to have him out there
on the field said teammate Jamie
Wilson. "He may not be a quarter-
back, but we need to get the ball
in his
tm hands. He's
very fast and I think
halfback will be the best
place for him

Volleyball team

Players ready
to start season
RV.W DottXKV
STUK ?ITK
What does August mean to you? To
a certain group of ladies, August
means volleyball practice.
According to players and coaches
this year's August tradition is going
very well.
According to head coach Kim
Walker, the team is in better shape
coming back from summer break
than any team has been in any of
her previous five seasons at ECU.
There is much potential with this
year's team. This season's team is a
junior-laden squad, with senior
Shannon Kaes bringing in loads of
experience. The team, which was
10-18 last season, has high but
attainable hopes for this year.
"We are very excited, said Liz
Hall, a junior from Antioch,
California. "We should win the con-
ference
Experience will help the team
when the game is on the line. The
experience factor will be very
important and for this year's team, it
will be a nice change up from last
year's young team.
During the 1998 campaign, the
Pirates were among the youngest
teams in the conference. This
group has been there before and
found out what it felt like to play
their hearts out and still come up
short. Kim Walker felt that the
team had trouble closing games last
season in the early part of the fall;
by the end of the season, they had
more poise. A real positive is that
Walker can see the players have
taken that into this season's prac-
tices.
"The team has matured a lot
said Kim Walker, head coach.
Maturity is such a big factor in
sports when times get tough. Fans
should look forward to a mentally
tough as well as physically tough
team. Though there is a large group
of upperclassman and there are also
some newcomers to the squad.
Robin Drewes, a 6'2 player out of
Florida and Dawn Bender, a 57
outside hitter are, according to
Walker, talented players who are
now adjusting to the grind of col-
lege sports from high school.
According to Liz Hall, the prac-
tices are centered on individual
technique. The squad's technique
will be put to the test on an impor-
tant early trip to MissouriIn
Missouri, the team will meet com-
petition including Missouri, SE
Missouri and New Mexico State.

play Coach Donnenwirth is confi-
dent that the women will have a
good showing this season.
"The team has steadily
improved to where they can knock
off a top team on any given day
Donnenwirth said.
With F.CU's backfield stacked
with four seniors and three other
seniors covering the other posi-
tions, the Pirates have a lot of expe-
rience to use to their advantage.

"(The seniors) have been

said. "We're looking to them for
leadership
Some key players to watch are
midfield players Erin Cann, Kelly
Gray, and Leanne Mclnnis who
Coach Donnenwirth describes as
very strong.
Other players to look for are for-
wards Amanda Duffy and Jennifer
Reiley.
j "Amanda is a smart player up
top and Jenn compliments her with
speed said Donnenwirth.
One of Coach Donnenwirth's
concerns is the plague of injuries
that have affected his team during
preseason training. Five potential
starters had to sit out last week's
exhibition game against UNC-
Greensboro.

out west Hall said.
The players are also looking for-
ward to games against seven ACC
schools such as the University of
North Carolina, Duke and N.C.
State. One of the most important
games this season will be against
the Campbell Camels. Campbell,
which will visit Greenville Sept. 1,
will be the team's first home game
of (he season. The team would like
to start off the home season with a
win. Stacy Pleasant, an ECU play-
er, was confident about the
Campbell game.
"I know they are beatable this
year! " Pleasant said. She also
added that success will take a lot of
dedication and teamwork. It's no
doubt that teamwork will be
important this season. As the old
saying goes, a team is only as good
as its weakest player, but if the
players work together, they can
build on each others strengths and
minimize any weaknesses that
might exist. The team has not had
a chance to look at one game as a
barometer for how good the team is
going to be for the season, but docs
look forward to playing schools
from conferences such as the ACC.
It looks like it will be an exciting
season.
"Right now the team is taking
things one piece at a time Walker
said.

Men's soccer
ready for season
Team boasts new
leadership, attitude
Si sawk Mii.knkkvk:ii
Hf.VIOI UMTKK
ECU men's soccer team is prepar-
ing to begin the 1999 season with
some changes in the coaching staff
and a new attitude.
"We want to establish ourselves
as a competitive team in the1
CAA said Devin O'Neill, men
soccer coach.
O'Neill, who has experience as
an assistant soccer coach at three1
universities, joined the purple awl
gold after Will Wiberg resigned aS
ECU's head coach after the 1998
season.
"I am very excited about the
opportunity to be a head coach at a
great institution O'Neill said. "I
am also excited about the chal-
lenge of coaching in an excellent
conference like the CAA, whicn
had teams in the NCAA
Tournament last season
With a new atmosphere about
the program the team is sure.to1
turn some heads this season.
"It is important for us to make)
sure people realize we are a good?
soccer program O'Neill said.
O'Neill and his team have
accepted their goal as a challenge
considering some teams in the
CAA are ranked nationally in pre-
season polls.
"It will be difficult because th
CAA is one of the most competi-
tive conferences in the nation
said O'Neill.
The Pirates face a tough sched-
ule this season as they are set to
play in 18 games, eight of which
are conference play, then in the
CAA tournament
O'Neill feels the team is ready
to face the road ahead as he
believes they continue to improve
every day in the preseason.
"We are very happy with the
effort and commitment the players
have shown throughout the pre-
season O'Neill said. "We are
happy with the way things are
coming together
You can check out the men
when they host their season open-
er against Appalachian State on
September 1 at 3 p.m.

THE EAST CAROLINIAN
Training camp tough on rookies
BEREA, Ohio (AP) - Training
camp is over for the Cleveland
Browns and coach Chris Palmer, in
his first year as an NFL. head couch,
is as glad to end the grind of two-a-
day practices as any rookie player.
"I don't know who's more tired,
the coaches or the players he said.
"It's been taxing both mentally and
physically
The expansion Browns wrapped
up their first training camp Monday
with two sessions in front of a
sparse crowd at their headquarters
outside Cleveland. From now on,
the Browns will practice once a day
in sessions closed to the public.
Cleveland opened its camp ear-
lier than most teams and closed
later. But Palmer said he and his
staff needed all the time they could
get to teach their young team.
Quarterback Ty Detmer, a veter-
an of training camps in Green Bay,
Philadelphia and San Francisco,
said a tough camp was to be expect-
ed.

Pleaz Inn. The following is a brief up-
date to the 'petition for judicial re-
view' of 'warning of trespass' issued
12999 by ECU. The petition was
'ordered' by Wayne Superior Court's
judge to a 'mediated settlement con-
ference Recognizing that would not
address the legal questions present-
ed in my petition made a formal
motion to dispense with the 'mediat-
ed settlement conference move the
case to Wake Superior court. .& for

quested by the Vice Chancellor of
Academic Affair for review & re-

address a potential flawmalpractice

WE CAN HELP if you have questions!
By choosing to live off campus you
face challenges and responsibilities
different from residence hall students.
Besides being an ECU student you are
a citizen of the City of Greenville. Here
are a few lifestyle issues to consider.
Common Courtesies
By living off campus you have become part of a larger
community than the umbrella provided by the University.
You will be interacting with more people who have less in common,
therefore, attitudes ol loloranc c respec t, and c onsideration are very
important. Some of your new neighbors will be students, like you.
Others ma be families with young children or teens, rhere may be1
some senior citizens living on vour street or in vour apartment
