As a result, ASU will collect money at their Homecoming game this weekend for student relief. Additionally, they have decided to donate the proceeds of their home- coming concert to the same relief effort. Damage to University totals more than $4 million Figure does not include labor, electronic costs Holly Harris editor-in-chief Even as communities begin to recover from what environmental and agricultural experts are calling the Flood of the Century, organiza- tions around the eastern part of the state are still reeling from record financial losses. ECU has proved to be no exception with officials tally- ing damage to the university at more than $4 million. According to Dr. George Harrell, assistant vice chancellor of Business Affairs, the university suf- fered $4,286 million worth of capi- tal damage. Harrell said that this figure is not yet final, and includes only damage to "real property" such as buildings, control switches and steam lines. There are still no concrete estimates to measure the loss of networking and telephone equipment, and this sum also does not include the $100,000 of outside labor costs and the $400,000 of employee work hours the clean-up effort necessitated. Harrell said that the most seri- ous damage was sustained to the General Classroom and Howell Science buildings. Water in the machine rooms, where most of the buildings' computing and building control equipment was kept, reached more than four feet deep. "One of the major nodes in GC took a significant hit Harrell said. "It was the same area as all the high voltage equipment that brings elec- tricity into the building Ruptured steam lines and clogged sewer lines are still being repaired, and according to Harrell it will be next summer before the university can fully correct all the damage that Floyd wrought on campus. The cost for this catastro- phe is being absorbed by both insurance and FEMA monies. Many Facilities Services employees worked long shifts to get the campus back In working order. PHOTO BY EMILY RICHARDSON However, some existing' university funds will have to be redistributed. 'The rest of the money will be collected probably from reallocat- ing university funds and perhaps redirecting repair and renovation funds Harrell said. "I have no idea at this time what projects will be affected because of that" Restoring the University to working order took 200 workers 20,000 hours and 10 days. Many of these employees were working nearly 24-hour shifts taking breaks of only 3 or four hour in order to sleep. Some of these workers even had to be specially transported to the University because the area where they lived had been washed away by flooding. According to Harrell, the Facilities Services team started cleaning up Floyd's mess the Thursday after the storm with only 80 of their nearly 300 employees. The ordeal was complicated by an unpredictable utility availabilities . 'The most difficult thing we were dealing with was that every- thing changed and kept changing Harrell said. "We would have elec- tricity and then no electricity or we would have electricity but no watef that was potable. Every one of those situations required us to develop a new operating plan. We felt we couldn't get out of a con- stantly reactive mode Campus officials dealt with this problem by using all of their nearly 20 generators to completely supply the campus with electricity when city utilities were lost. "When GUC went offline for a long period, we initiated a backup plan that put 2.8 megawatts of peaking generator online Harrell said. "We call it the biggest Y2K test imaginable, at that point we were effectively operating without any utility support Earnest Marshburn, director of Strategic Initiatives for ECU Computing Information Services said one of the most disturbing aspects of this utility downtime was the inability to update the University web page�a major source of information for students stranded in other towns. However there was no information lost and school officials and CIS staff mem- bers have been working feverishly to keep the site updated with the ntest current information. "It has been ongoing, almost a non-ending process since the power went out on Sunday Marshburn said. It will be months before campus is fully operational again. But Harrell said he is certain that he has the staff necessary to make the work happen. "If the Facilities Services per- sonnel had been on the the crew of the Titanic they'd have patched the hole, pumped out the water, cleaned it up, and put on a fresh coat of paint before it got to New York Harbor Harrell said. "The passengers would never have know anything had happened. I am extremely proud of our facilities employees This writer can be contacted at edita8stuientmedia.ecu.edu. Flood Relief Resource Center aids victims Dininghall now serving needed help Nina M. D r y ASSISTANT FEATURES EDITOR The University has created a resource center in order to help stu- dents and staff recover from their losses due to the hurricane. "It is a university-wide effort said Dr. Kris Smith, dean of Student Development. "Administration was concerned about getting services available to students and decided we needed a center to offer a variety of services to meet our students' and staffs needs The Flood Relief Resource Center set up 12 stations to meet students, staff and faculty's imme- diate needs with both on-campus and community assistance. "Most of the tables are staffed by people in the area in terms of the University departments and students are working through com- munity organizations such as the United Way Smith said. Students and staff members who have suffered from damage and loss are encouraged to visit the resource center and fill out infor- mation forms to assess their situa- tion. "People working with the United Way help staff and students learn about community services such as the Red Cross, Salvation Army and Social Services to help meet those needs Smith said. Many of the on-campus organi- zations have set up tables at the center to meet students' needs. According to Smith, the Student Government Association (SGA) offers emergency loans to students ranging from $50 - $200 for stu- S!RELIEF PAGE 3 Pirates sail through Hurricanes, 2723 seepg. 8 Bug population predicted to rise Bitingpests trouble relief efforts Phillip Gilfus news editor Junior Ryan Everett begins the relief process. PHOTO BY EMILV RICHARDSON In the wake of lost homes and major flood damage, most hurricane vic- tims pay little attention to the small- er after-effects of a hurricane. Dr. Trenton Davis, a professor in the department of environmental health, hopes to increase public awareness of one particular post- flood pest' mosquitoes. "North Carolina and Eastern North Carolina are good habitats for those blood suckers Davis said. Biting mosquitoes breed in flood waters, standing water in back yards, birdbaths and other places where stagnant water is present Eggs can be laid and then hatch weeks later. Davis was contacted by Craven and Pitt County health departments to estimate the number of mosqui- toes expected in the next few days. The local health departments will then use those numbers to decide what their next step will be, which could possibly be to air-deliver pes- ticides. "It's hard to predict whether they'll be used Davis said. After hurricanes Fran and Bonnie, pesticides by air were used. Davis, along with some of his students, will acquire his mosquito count through a "landing count" method. This procedure is done by extending one's aim and allowing mosquitoes to land on it for one mihute. Then the number of "land- ings" are counted. Davis, who did a trial test in his Greenville backyard, discovered that the number of mosquitoes has so far doubled. Davis counted 10 - 15 mosquitoes this week, compared with the five to six he found before the hurricane. With an increased number of mosquitoes in the area, work by flood damage relief workers may be hampered. Davis stated that a potential mosquito-carried disease is Eastern equine encephalitis, a viral disease. The disease seriously affects the central nervous system and symp- toms can include headaches. "There is no reason to believe that there will be any disease con- cerns Davis said. Pre-flood analyses of birds and bugs showed no presence of the viral disease. In his work, Davis is also deter- mining types of mosquito species that will be present 'There will be the Asian tiger mosquito, which is very aggressive he said. "It will make life tough Davis also hopes to get students working with the local county health departments by taking them to flooded residences to examine the sites for fungi and mold, which could cause allergic reactions to returning residents.

The administra- tion's view is that campus clean- up and repair will take time. ; According to Nice Chancellor Richard Brown, who addressed the faculty, Floyd's winds were not as strong as expected, but the campus suffered damage from the 14 inches of rain that fell in an over 24-hour period. Brown also stated that the Emergency Response Team, com- posed of members from various university departments, met once or twice a day, every day for two weeks, since Sept. 15. The Emergency Response Team focused their efforts on restoring utilities, maintaining and feeding students and relief work- ers and processing end-of-thc- montli payrolls, which were in peril iluc to power outages. "The good news is we survived it Brown said. "The bail news is that we w ill have to deal with it for some time Brown also spent time dis- pelling rumors, including that the myth that 5,000 students were withdrawing from ECU. According to Vice Chancellor for Student Life Gary Moore, only four students have withdrawn from the university. Among them, two withdrew to help their hurri- cane-stricken families and one student is reconsidering. "The lid' family is suffering, there is no doubt about that Moore said. Moore further stated that hous- ing has been found for most stu- dents and that a list of families who are willing to house students is being made available. As for university damage, Brown stated that all parking lots were repaired and safe, excluding the commuter lot at the bottom of University officials briefed faculty and staff about how many students had been left homeless.

AT TIAA-CREF, LOW EXPENSES ARE A HIGH PRIORITY. All financial companies charge operating fees and expenses - some more than others. Of course, the lower the expenses you pay, the better. That way, more of your money goes where it should - toward building a comfortable future. As the largest retirement system in the world,1 we have among the lowest expenses in the insurance and mutual fund industries. In fact, TIAA-CREF's 0.35 average fund expenses are a fraction of the expense charges of comparable funds. It's one reason why Morningstar says, "TIAA-CREF sets the standard in the financial services industry A focus on your future Of course, expenses are only one factor to consider when you make an invest- ment decision. Morningstar also noted our commitment to "consumer education, service" and "solid investment perfor- mance Because that can make a differ- ence in the long run, too.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) � Six inches of rain kicked off new flooding today in an area already devastated by I lurricane Floyd's inunda- tion, washing out roads and a spillway. People were urged to evacuate two residential areas. The pouring rain that fell during the night, cut through roads and made bridges in Wayne County and other areas rtnpassable this morning southeast of Raleigh. In Goldsboro, 80 percent of the downtown streets were flooded this morning by Stony Creek, which flows through the middle of town, said National Guard Maj. Dave Culbreth. "The city's almost like an island Culbreth said. "We have some flooding in town again. We're almost back to ground zero Rising water also poured over the top of the Lake Waekena dam three miles southeast of Goldsboro and washed out the spillway, and National Guardsmen went door to door urging residents to leave the Walnut Creek subdivision. Only a handful of people left. However, Tom Ditt, spokesman for the state emergency management office, said the wash-out of the spillway helped relieve pressure that might have caused a failure of the dam itself. North of Cioldsboro, guardsmen were sent to tell people living near Bear Creek Dam they, too, may need to evacuate as uatcr washed over that dam, Culbreth said. It is the second time in two weeks that some Walnut Creek residents have been flooded. GREENVILLE AUTO REPAIR INC.

The devasta- tion caused by Floyd will take years for many to overcome, and it is our job to make sure that they don't have to over- come it alone. OPINION! LETTER TO EDITOR Over the past two weeks ECU and the city of Greenville have been forced to pick up the pieces of the devastation caused by I lurricane Floyd. For many of us this has been a trying time-a time tilled with insecurity and doubt. Fortunately, for many of us there has been some help. (lountlcss organizations ranging from thenircd W'av to I'KM.V to vari- ous local community organizations have been there for us all. ECl itself has provided a safe haven for many of the victims left homeless by Floyd, as well as assembled a Flood Relief Center to provide a place for us to find help. Thousands of volunteers from as close as Western North (iarolina and from as far away as (lalifornia have traveled to Kastcrn North (Carolina to help. lb all these people and organizations we would like to offer our sincerest thanks; without you it won III be impossible for many of us to tread forward. We owe many of you more than we could possibly repav. lint perhaps the most important people to thank are our friends and neigh- bors here in Greenville. Without these people thousands of us would be homeless or alone. Your compassion should be commended. It is times like these we can truly, call ourselves a community. Now. however comes the hardest part. Do nor forget that just because Floyd has passed us that the struggle is over. Remember that just because everything has worked out for you, it may have destroyed someone else's home or livelihood. The devastation caused by Flovd will take vears for many to overcome, and it is our job to make sure that they don't go have to overcome it alone. Destruction of goalposts reflects badly It was a beautiful fall night in Raleigh. Around 46,000 ECU alum- ni, fans and students had just wit- nessed a spectacular, come-from- behind victory over the ninth- ranked Miami Hurricanes. Then, before we could celebrate- in the stands and before even the players could celebrate on the field, several hundred young men ignored the announcer's requests. tore down the fence, swarmed onto the field, and tore down both goal posts. We fans in the stands watched with disgust and booed their actions as they paraded the goal posts up and down the field. We then left the stadium feeling pride- in what our team had accomplished and at the same time deep embar- rassment for how these young men were destroying much of what our football program had accomplished over the last 10 years. To the North Carolina State (Diversity administration, alumni, fans and students: We are sincerely grateful for the wonderful gesture you made in loaning Cartcr-Finlcy Stadium for the EClMiami game. We deeply regret and apologize for the manner in which these several hundred young men showed their lack of appreciation and respect for your gesture. Your facility is truly beautiful anil one you should be proud of. To the ECU coaches and play- ers: We are proud of the way you played and the character you exhib- ited in this game. We alumni .and fans will remember this game for a long, long time. 'lb the KGl' alumni, fans and students who attended this game: Thank you for your attendance and your support. The atmosphere was electric. You were loud. You stayed until the end, not giving up on a 20- 3 half-time score. You are the best fans in the world. lii the voting men who stormed the field and destroyed the goal posts: Thank you for robbing more than 45,000 fans of the satisfaction of savoring this upset victory. Thank you for preventing the players anil coaches from celebrat- ing a very hard fought and richly deserved win. They had to leave the field for their own safety. Thank you for "repaying the hospitality of out hosts as C put it, in such a selfish, shortsighted and immature manner. Congratulations, you have managed in a few short minutes to set back the KCl' football program more than II) years in the terms of respect and dignity winch have worked so long and hard for. Sincerely, M. Craig Simpson Glass of 1978 and 1987 opinion! LETTER TO EDITOR Fans' behavior reflects badly on school I have received numerous calls from universities aeross the state asking what can we do to help ECU during its recovery from Hurricane Floyd. NC State offered, and we accepted, the opportunity to play our September 25th game against Miami in their stadium. What a game! Last Saturday, no doubt, gave us cause to celebrate. We are all very proud of our football ptogram its well as the tenacity demonstrated by the players. This victory over the Miami Hurricanes, following I lurricane Floyd, gave us a much needed diversion from the trauma felt by this community. I did not travel to Raleigh wi our alumni and students bu watched the game on 'IV. I was very saddened as I watched our stu- dents tear down the goal post at the end of a beautiful game. This behavior provides opportunity for criticism that ECU does not deserve. Yes, we need to celebrate but not in a destructive wav. We must respect the property and rights of others just as we desire and deserve the same. It is important for our students, K'eially those who took part in le destruction of the goal post, to extend a sincere apology to N( LSI: anil resolve ourselves to continue celebrating our victories but never again in a destructive manner.

As I sit here in the wee hours of the morning, thinking of a subject to write about, my mind is reflecting on my experiences of the past two weeks and surviv ing "the Flood of the Century There are many aspects of the devastation which I could write about, but I really don't know which aspect to highlight. I could talk about the personal loss of im clothing, television. VCR, stereo, etc. as I was leaving K( 't on the Thursday of the flood. I had to ditch my possessions in order to lighten the weight of m car to get through the rising water on I lighvvav .Vv I could talk about how m pos- sessions seem of little importance while I volunteered at the Tarboro High School shelter, dealing with people who lost everything they owned, barely escaping with their lives. I could talk about the fear and total disbelief of the people of Tarboro and I'rinccville as they wit- nessed their homes and lives being submerged in the raging waters of the 'liir River. I could talk about the Town of I'rinccville�its historic signifi- cance of being the first town in the nation to be chartered by freed slaves. I low even then, there were life-threatening floods that plagued the citizens, yet I'rinccville always bounced back from adversity. The reason for this spirit in the people is reflected in the words of I'rineev ille's mayor, the honorable- Delia Perkins, when she said, "We stand on the word of God I could talk about the rush of emotions that flowed through me when I was part of a tour, led by Sheriff James Knight and the mili- tary accompanied by Dick Gregory, into I'rinccville and seeing the many caskets, coffins and vaults floating throughout a section of I'rinccville as a result of being unearthed from the local cemetery. I wondered if any contained the remains of any of my numerous rel- atives buried there. I could talk about the spirit of the victims of this disaster, who could easily give up hope for a renewed future and wallow in their misery. The mass majority have not given up and will not give up, but they will trust in the mercy of God and they will know that CJod takes nothing away from us. but that lie will replace it with something bet- ter. The people believe this and these thoughts will see us through. I could talk about how people sacrificed their lives helping others. One story is of a man from I'inetops OPINION LETTER TO EDITOR Rev offers psalm for students I The Twenty-Third I'salm (I lurricane Floyd Version) by Rev. Scott Wilkinson Dedicated to the thousands of KCl' students who were displaced as a result of Hurricane Floyd and the countless emergency workers and volunteers who have reached out to offer them a helping hand: The Lord is my Chief F.mcrgcniv Relief Worker: I shall not drow n. I le makcth me to lie down in a dry shelter: lie Icadeth me out of rising flood waters. I le restored) my sanity: I le lead- ed) me in the paths to higher ground for the sake of His great concern for me. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the Tar River Basin, I shall not fear the worst: for Thou art with me: Thy many tireless emergency workers and volunteers they com- fort me. Thou prepares! a hot meal before me in the presence of those who once were strangers, but now are friends: Thou anointest my head with bug spray and my arm with a Tetanus shot: my cup runneth over with bottled water. Surely the goodness and mercy that was shown to me, I will show to others all the days of my life: and 1 will dwell in the shelter and protec- tion of the Lord forever. Rev. Scott Wilkinson is the United Methodist Campus Minister at ECU and director of the Wesley Foundation on East Fifth Street. I le along with many other from the different campus ministry organizations have been working along side university personnel in helping to provide flood relief to students. Anyone wishing to talk to a campus minister or religious staff person is encouraged to call 758- 20.W. who assisted the search and recov- ery team with their rescue efforts. After reportedly helping four other families climb safely into boats, he and the rescue team began to pull his own family mem- bers aboard, only to have the bout capsize, killing him, his wife, his daughter and his granddaughter. F'inally, 1 could talk about some of the unsung heroes, such as my friend and brother Reverend William 11. Clayton, Jr. of'Tarboro's l-Uistern Star Missionary Baptist Church, who has and is continuing to labor hard during these difficult times to bring comfort to hundreds of people displaced by the flood. There are many people who have made personal sacrifices to help others. I mention Rev. Clayton because I have worked side-hy-side with him each day at Tarboro I ligh, and since I am a staunch advocate of diversity and cultural sensitivity, I have learned valuable lessons of how people of diverse religious backgrounds can work as one to alleviate pain and suffering encoun- tered by people. Yes, I could write about all of these things and more, but I would, like you, the reader, to make sug gestions or direct questions and; issues for me to deal with as h attempt to write an opinion column each week.

"We're on the second floor, and it came up a foot and a half on the second floor, and we were trapped there for two days Mullen's complex, like many others, is surrounded by piles of garbage where mosquitoes, flics and snakes can easily find refuge.

They had to take the walls out those people over there, they really did I se everything The Tar River is slowly relinquishing its grip on the apart- ment complex which bears its name. Water-beaten fences around patios tilt at crazy angles; mud- caked cars line the abandoned streets; a sodden mattress lies washed up beside a lake that was once a river. And behiiul all of this chaos is the swiftiv flowing current of the Tar itself, swollen tojecord-brcak- ing proportions. All around the river, the air reeks of sewage and brine. The soggy ground is covered in an ashy crust of dried mud which coats every leaf and blade of grass, and leaves a grayish line of demarcation on the outside of buildings as the water slowly recedes. Police officers guard every street that leads to a Hooded area, while residents are forced to wait, once their homes are dry enough to enter, for inspectors to safety-check their buildings. Front doors spray- painted with an orange "X" are safe to enter; houses marked with an "X" inside a box are condemned. Sheri Ciiddons, a senior health and fitness major, gazes across police caution tape and muddy water to her apartment building, which is still partially submerged. She wonders if her second-floor apartment has been Hooded, and if anything inside can be salvaged. Authorities have told her she'll have to wait another four to six weeks to find out. "It's come down a lot since yes- terday she said. "Cosh, it stinks. It could've been worse These students have a lot on their minds jusr now. The search for new apartments and concern for what thev were unable to save from tlood waters precludes academic concerns for rhe present. Hut most are finding their Greenville neighbors hospitable at' the very least. According to Shelly Myers, director of Adult and Commuter Services at KCU, hundreds of local families have offered rooms in their homes to displaced students, and apartment complexes are cooperat- ing with University administrators to provide temporary leases and other ways to help students who now find themselves homeless. When sophomore Randy Minton piled a few clothes on top of his bed before leaving for work at the Ramada Inn, he had no idea that his foresight would provide him with the only dry possessions he would save from his flooded apartment, where water levels reached six feet. As students know all too well, dry clothes are something to cele- brate around here. "I pretty much saved most of the clothingl he said.

Since the evacuation of the flooded Tar River area, a non-prof- it group called KARS (Kmcrgency Rescue Animal Sen ice), based in Sacramento, Calif has rescued about 660 animals from I'irr (lounty homes. KARS Director Terry Crisp has directed a group of 15 volunteer coordinators from all over the limed States in rescue efforts dur- ing this and other national disasters. Ten coordinators were called to North Carolina after Floyd to begin rescuing local pets, which are being housed in the Brody Building. "The animals have been brought in primarily by volunteers, rescue teams said Crisp, walking through the rooms of the temporary KARS headquarters. The main entrance is also a warehouse, stacked neatly ceiling- high with crates of canned and dry dog and cat food, bottled water and piles of leashes and collars. One room off to the side is devoted entirely ro bags of dry food, which lie in drifts from wall to wall. Most of this has been donated by pri- vate citizens. Rooms are designated for bathing, vaccina- tion, medical care and storage of all types of rescued animals, which range from dogs and cats to more unusual pets. "We've had one goat and chickens Crisp said. Flood victims who can'r get to their animals can call KARS ar Slo-181.? to request a rescue. The rescue teams go by boat to pick the ani- mals up, stopping to get other ani- mals along the way. "We've pretty much gotten to all the rescues Crisp said.

The term "Mozart Effect coined by Alfred Tomatis, refers to the theory that students who listen to music by the composer Mozart have a better chance of excelling in academics. This theory came from the research findings of Dr. Francis Rancher and Dr. Gordon I Shaw from the University of California at Irvine.

State's Carter-finley Stadium among the list of disaster areas devastated by events sur- rounding the hurricanes. While it may' not have been a direct result of floyd, LCI's sur- prise upset over the Miami I lurricanes caused fans to rush the field, eventually tearing down N.C. State's goal posts. Before this game, the i lurricanes were ranked number 11 in the nation, anil most thought that our chances of winning were slim to nonecspccially Under the extreme circumstances. After the continuing battle with I lurricane floyd left the football team stranded in South Carolina fol- lowing the Sept. IH game at ISC, tension was running very high with both the players and the coaches. Among the many disadvantages to this situation was the lack of prac- tice time and space. Most of the team's reserve players were not pre- sent, making scrimmages difficult, and the team supplies were limited to what they needed for the initial game. Since Miami had only lost one game this decade while leading at the end of the third quarter, many fans were not expecting the Pirates to win; they never lost faith. After a stunning comeback fans rushed the field causing mass pandemonium eventually leading to the loss of N.C. State's goal posts.

STEPHEN SCHRAMM David Garrard went 30 for 46 for 328 yards in ECU'S 27-23 win over Miami PHOTO hi CMILV RICHARDSON Celebration was tasteless but justified L After time exflljpd in Saturday's 27-23 win ovcrtjMiami, throngs of Pirate fans stormed the field at N.C. State's Carter-Finley Stadium. They flocked to the goal posts and tore them down in eele- biation of ECU'S biggest win since 19. I sat in the press box and watched the gtbl posts fall, absorb- ing the irony vMjth all of the other sportswritcrs r attendance. We had to be at the field house for the post-game press conference and the only elevator available was full. So some other writers and I struck out to find stairs. The stairs we found dumped us out on the top of the upper deck. So I filed down the stands, surrounded by older Pirate fans, while the euphoric chaos played out on the field below. It was at that moment that I became ashamed to be an KCL fan. 1 was not ashamed of the unfor- tunate, albeit understandable emo- tion displayed on the field; I was ashamed of the remarks and excla- mations I heard from the Pirate fans around me in the stands. Men and women shouted obscenities at the fans on the field. One woman standing next to me even said to her young child, "No honey, the police can't just go out there and start beating up the students, though I wislAWiey would Ma'am dt you remember Colorado Statewhere after CSV upset ColoradollpVliee tear gassed the celebrating students? Once at the press conference, many members of the media sat and blasted the KCl' student body for their behavior on the field. "They really showed their asses today said one television reporter. In the days following the game. LCL's students were bashed in both the GrceriVillc ;md Raleigh media for tearing up the field of the team that helped them out. In the late 'KOs, our rivalry with State was scrapped after rowdy KCl I fans tore down Carter-finley Stadium's goal posts after an KCL win in Raleigh. Thus given our his- tory, tearing down State's goal posts was not the brightest thing we could have done. However, to anyone who bashed the KCL student body for this. I ask you: If you had just lost everything due to a flood and your school had just beat a top 10 team, do you think you could just go home? That is if you had a home to go to. What happened on the field after the game Saturday was a proper venting of emotions. It is unfortunate that it happened in a place where we were guests. However, given all of the crap KCL students have had to deal with, it was an understandable release of frustration. When State takes the field for their next home game, they will have new goal posts, probably paid for by KCL. There will be no reminders of Saturday's celebra- tion. I lowever, flood water will still be in apartments and reminders of floyd will be everywhere in east- ern North Carolina well into the future. 'fearing down the goal posts was not a classy thing to do. Some might say it was tasteless, and they may be right. Hut for anybody to say anything about Saturday, they must understand where the stu- dents were coming from; then they will see that whatever damage we caused them was not without justi- fication.

Many residence halls, classrooms, parking ' lots and other facilities are facing severe losses. Despite enduring some damage during I lurricane Dennis, F.C.I's athletic facilities did not suffer too greatly from the more powerful I lurricane I'loyd. I larrington Field suf- fered minor damages including three downed ttces, one which fell in center field. The fence surrounding the field also sustained minimal destruction. The temporary bleachers at Dowdy- I'icklcn Stadium received sonic light damage due to the storm's heavy winds. Perhaps the most cost- ly damage was the discov- ery of a major leak in the press box at Dowdy- Ftcktcn Stadium. The stadium's score- board, which was installed this summer, was dam- aged during Hurricane Dennis, leading to mal- functions during I'X'H's game against Duke, but it survived I lurricane Floyd with no damage. "I would expect the damage to be repaired within a matter of days said Craig Curtis, assistant athletic director for opera- tions and facilities. "The trees have have been removed anil the bleach- ers are under repair. By the end of the week, you probably will not be able to tell any damage occurred Minges Coliseum, Bunting Field, the soft- ball field and the football practice facility were not damaged bv Hurricane Floyd.

American fans show unsportsmanlike behavior LONDON(AP)�European golfers may refuse to play in anoth- er Ryder Cup in the United States because of the abuse they were subjected to from American fans last weekend, outgoing Furopean captain Mark James says. James, whose wife was spat upon by a spectator, said he feared that fights will break out unless action is taken to curl) the behavior by players, and fans that tainted the Americans' comeback victory in Urookline, Mass. "A lot of players will not be bothered competing in American again said James in remarks pub- lished widely:in liiesday's British newspapers. "Certainly that is the case with me. It's not something I would look forward to. We don't need to be treated like this James' wife. Jane, said a young fan spat at her Sunday on the final day of the three-day competition at The Country Club. "It was just awful she said. "There were lots of incidents of people telling us to go home Mark James said the incidents left a "bitter taste" and called for an alcohol ban at major golf events, including the next Ryder Cup in 2001 at the Belfry in England. That idea was backed bv Colin Montgomerie, the target of much of the heckling. "I learned over the weekend that Miclielon beer is to be the next official drink at the next Ryder Cup Montgomerie said in a column in liiesday's Daily 'lelegraph. "To me, that does not make sense.

U.S. captain BenCrenshaw later apologized, but Montgomerie said it was too late. "No amount of apol- ogy can make amends for what they did Montgomerie said. James said the incidents at the 17th green "pale in comparison" to the behavior of fans toward the Furopean players. "If I had been playing myself, I might have lost my temper com- pletely James said. "Cheering when you miss putts or hit into bunkers is one thing. Hut personal abuse is something different. We are going to get into a situation where fights will break out if we don't stop this thing now Montgomerie said his 70-year- old father, who had traveled from Scotland for the event, left the course Sunday because of the mer- ciless heckling of his son. "I cannot tell you the number of occasions I had to back off a shot because of fans shouting during his backswing, Montgomerie said.

FOR HIRE JtlfrlHtfffl FOR AIL FUNCTIONS & CAMPUS ORGANIZATIONS Call J.Arthur @ 252-412-0971 THE JUGGLERS ECU commuter students are master jugglers. They handle class schedules, work schedules and transportation plans with ease. Toss in obligations to family and friends and commuters don't even break a sweat. But how can they master the skill of adding campus involvement to the mix? Successful students who become highly sought after employees intertwine academ- ic studies with other campus experiences. Finding one's "niche" in campus life is key to personal growth and allows one to get the most out of the college experi- ence. Commuters who have found their "niche" while juggling life's other responsibilities share this advice. Get more involved in your academic depart- ment. Meet faculty. Organize study groups. Build a support network of fellow students, facul- ty and staff. Find an on-campus job. Join a student organization. Develop a new interest by attending perfor- mance art programs, musical recitals or theatre productions. Take care of yourself. Meet with staff in Student Recreation Services, Health Promotion, Campus Dining Services or Student Health Services. Take initiative. Don't assume that your busy schedule will keep you from being involved. Meet with others to discuss your special circum- stances and ways you can contribute. Volunteer between classes. Be a Pirate fan. Pick an ECU team to support and attend games, meets and matches when you can. Don't forget to wear your purple and gold. Can commuters juggle one more thing, you may ask? Maybe, maybe not. But when they've already learned to toss around three flaming bowling pins, what's one more? Especially when it might put them in the center ring. If you are a commuter looking for a way to get involved in campus life, call Adult and Commuter Student Services at 6881 or Student Leadership Programs at 4796. As campus life runs along each day, photographers will be out and about to capture us, the students, at our best If you can identify yourself in any of our pictures, present yourself to MSC 109 (Student Leadership) and point Vyou" out to the staff1 there. Rewards will be on hand for your efforts, so keep a close eye on these pictures! ECU SPELLS RELIEF The Division of Student Life would like to thank all the volunteers who have assisted with flood relief. Your efforts have greatly assisted the division and numerous students, faculty and staff members as they rebuild after the storm. In addition we would like to recognize the strength and courage of our ECU students. Despite the adverse conditions, long lines, and complicated applica- tions, ECU students have remained patient, respectful and positive during the relief efforts. Your understanding, good humor, and positive attitude will help the ECU family to overcome Floyd's impact and distinguish you among your peers. You are the reason for our Pirate Pride! Finally, we would like to remind all those affected by the flood that relief is available at Todd Dining Hall. Services available include counseling, "health information, legal counseling, financial assistance, textbooks on loan, ECU One Card replacement, and a list of available housing options. The Flood Relief Resource Center is open daily from 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Red Cross main number 355-3800 .service center 752-3226 752-55 ECU Flood Relief Resource Center328-0483 Dear Diary Dear Diary, WH' I still miss home. I thought this feeling was supposed to go away after the first day. Maybe I'm difFerentmaybe I'm weird. I don't like this place, I haven't met all these new friends that my parents said I would and I hate eating alone in the cafeteria. I miss my par- ents, my life back home, and yeseven my little brother. I want to go home. I want to go home so bad sometimes that I can't concentrate on homework at night. I'm alone. I can't even sleepevery time I close my eyes I see home. I don't know what to do Dear Diary, My RA came up to me today and asked me how I was feeling. She recommended I go talk to the people at the Counseling Center. She was really nice about the whole thing - she did not make me feel like I was weird. Dear Diary, I went to the Center for Counseling and Student Development and they helped me work through my troubles. They suggested that I might want to check out the Recreational Center, the Student Leadership office, and get involved on campus. I made some friends today. I feel great! TIPS FOR TENANTS � Always have a written lease with your landlord. � If you aren't familiar with leases have someone else besides the land- lord review it with you. SGAp rovides a free service to all ECU students where you can meet with an attorney. � Complete a check list about the condition of your property as soon as possible. Do it now if you haven't already. This will help you if you have concerns later about your security deposit. � You should receive your security deposit within 30 days after your lease ends. If you do not receive the entire amount you can request written notification from the landlord as to why you were charged. Typically, deposits are kept if the damages exceed normal wear and rear. � Keep your landlord's or property manager's phone number handy. � To receive a copy of "A Place of Your Own: A Guide to Off-Campus Living" call Adult and Commuter Student Services at 328-6881. 1 & PREVIEW DAY FRIDAY EARLY OPENING 8am, SATURDAY OCTOBER 2nd! 25 OFF Entire Stock Ladies' Pantsuits Misses, Petites and Today's Woman.
