ECU, FEMA, state construct trailer pad Phillip Gil us news editor University Housing Services is hoping to give students who lost their apartments a new lease on life, literally. In cooperation with the state and the Federal Emergency Management Association (FEMA), UHS plans to change over 25 acres into a new temporary housing park for ECU students. Located on Dickinson and Memorial Streets, the University owns 7.5 acres that were originally planned to become a warehouse site. It will now serve as a parking lot for the trailer park. On Monday the state was leased a further 18 acres of high-grade commercial property by a private owner, the planned site for the tem- porary housing. "The jurisdiction of the proper- ty will come under the University said Manny Amaro, director of UHS. He explained that the state would hand over the leased land to ECU. The University has also been allocated 220 17x14 fully-furnished trailers. They will contain three bedrooms and two bathrooms, along with with refrigerators and microwaves. Each trailer will house four people. According to Amaro, only 178 units will be used. The additional trailers will be given to Pitt County for their use. The county already boasts two temporary housing sites for flooded families. It is hoped that students will be able to move into the new facilities by Oct. 22, though that is a tenta- tive date. "It won't be a quick operation Amaro said. Those students who qualify under FEMA will receive a vouch- er and will then sign a lease with SEE HOUSING PAGE 4 Rivals trade competition for compassion U.

These agencies serve infants, adolescents, the elderly, college students, the mentally challenged, the poor and those stricken with illness and dis- ease. The purpose of the university's volunteer program is to get stu- dents involved in helping their community and each other. "Students understand how much involvement it takes to have a program like this work said Judy Baker, director of the ECU Volunteer Program. 'The chancel- lor, the dean and my chairperson are all behind us. We have to have people backing us up The volunteer program, which began operation in 1990, has been growing in size. It is mainly funded by grants. According to Baker, the reason ECU students volunteer their time is so that they can give back to the community. Students also like how they feel after they have helped someone else. Students are also motivated to volunteer in order for them to build a resume.

Benefits available for flooded staff Less than 60 percent working I IKK A STE1NIEISER ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR Residents of North Carolina who lost their jobs as a result of Hurricane Floyd and its aftermath may be eligible for special federal and state compensation. "The sooner the paperwork is done, the sooner these hard-hit workers will be able to collect benefits to help them get bad on their feet Parker Chesson ESC chairman The Disaster Unemployment Assistance (DUA) Program was created following President Clinton's declaration of 66 North Carolina counties as disaster areas. According to Glenn Woodard, a federal coordinating officer, the program is designed to provide financial assistance to small busi- ness owners, self-employed agri- cultural workers, hourly wage earners, those injured as a result of the storm and other types of work- ers who do not qualify for regular unemployment benefits. Parker Chesson, chairman of the Employment Security Commission of North Carolina, urged employers whose workers were affected by the disaster to file for unemployment for the benefit of their employees. "The sooner the paperwork is done, the sooner these hard-hit workers will be able to collect benefits to help them get back on their feet Chesson said. "Employers need to know what type of help is available to their employees and how to access it By submitting a claim, the employer verifies that the worker is on the payroll, but worked fewer than 60 percent of their nor- mal work hours in that week. Employers can e-mail, fax or mail in these claims to the ESC office. So far, response to the DU Program has been good. "We don't have an official and current count of how many claims have been filed, simply because our staff is too busy taking the claims to keep a running tally said David Sherrill of the ESC The federal disaster monies are apportioned by the state in the same way as the North Carolina unemployment program, but is only available to those workers who would otherwise be ineligible for unemployment compensation. "Employees out of work due to the disaster may continue to receive unemployment benefits for 26 weeks, same as those who are getting regular unemploy- ment Sherrill said.

ECU students returned to class last Wednesday and tried to get back into the swing of things in the midst of lingering waters, fallen trees, missing sidewalks and strong sewage fumes. � Many students returned to thfir' hometowns untouched, but others were not so fortunate. As classes continue, many students are left without books, paper, pens, clothes and homes. However, the horrible misfor- tune of Floyd has not been ignored. With the help of the ASG's Quarter's Campaign, relief has come from all parts of North Carolina. Quarter's Campaign's mission is to encourage students as possible to donate a quarter to ECU, which can then be used to helpflood-stricken students. "The program has been a huge success said SGA President Cliff Webster. Hundreds of students have sup- ported the program so far, and donations have been great. Students at UNC-Chapel Hill have collected $1,700, and N.C. State has raised $2,000. "The increase of funding will allow the university to offer flood students more relief Webster said!

House condemns Brooklyn art exhibit WASHINGTON (AP)�The feud over the Brooklyn Museum of Art's provocative "Sensation" exhibit continued to attract Congress' attention Monday as the House approved a nonbinding resolution calling for federal funds to stop flowing to the institution. Republicans argued that taxpay- ers should not have to pay for "Catholic-bashing" art some have deemed vulgar. Some Democrats countered that the GOP was trying to censor artistic expression. The exhibit, which opened Saturday, features, among other things, a black Virgin Mary decorat- ed with body parts and elephant dung. "Should Americans that work 40, 50,60 hours a week be forced to turn over a portion of their pay- check to something that offends so many?" said Rep. John Sweeney, R-N.Y who sponsored the resolu- tion. The measure was approved on a voice vote; the Senate had passed a similar measure last Wednesday. Republicans said they were not arguing that the work should not be shown, but that it should not receive tax dollars. But Democrats said that was disingenuous. "The issue before us is censorship. Make no mistake about it Rep. Maurice Hinchey, D-N.Y said. Over the last three years, the Brooklyn Museum received $1.1 million in federal money. And while Monday's resolution sparked heat- ed debate it was purely symbolic. Republicans are attempting to attach legislation to federal spend- ing bills to block funding to the museum but have been unsuccess- ful. House Democrats also accused Republicans of pushing the resolu- tion to rally support for New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, the exhibit's most vocal critic and a likely candidate for the Senate.

The student should set up an appointment where they can discuss what type of service they can offer. "Volunteering should be a part of every students' education Baker said. Students are encouraged to work through KCU's volunteer program because it can provide a student with organizational skills, and allows individuals to work in a large group setting. This program will wdrk around students' sched- ules. "Students at ECU do a lot of good things Baker said. "You can always find pictures of a bad stu- dent in the newspaper, but for every one of those, I can give you a picture of 30 students serving for good. It seems as though people want to hear the bad and are not interested in learning about the good There are more students volun- teering this year than ever before. Each semester 3,500 student vol- unteers are sent out to many differ- ent agencies throughout Pitt County. Baker can see a great dif- ference this year in the turnout and enthusiasm of student volunteers. Maybe you are thinking, why should I volunteer? "I think that many students do it out of the goodness of their hearts Baker said. "It helps them gain respect for themselves, build self-cstccm and feel better about themselves because of the good they have done Some students' majors require them to volunteer their time. Examples of such degrees are those in social work, medical school and criminal justice. "I think that it is good that some students have to volunteer because of their majors said junior Megan Williams. "It will help them devel- op better people skills while help- ing others "I do not think that volunteer- ing should be required said fresh- man Mandy VanCooney.

"What has happened is exactly what we said would happen the president said. But the president said things will get better over the next two years as "significant numbers of children" receive coverage under a program enacted by Congress in 1997. Clinton, in one of the biggest defeats of his presidency, failed to persuade Congress in 1994 to enact the universal health insurance plan written by his wife, Hillary. "The first lady and 1 and all the rest of us were right in 1994 the president said. "We told you in 1994 that if this were voted down, the insurance companies would continue to drop people, or employers would, because of the system we had He spoke in the Cabinet Room after remarks about efforts to win ratification of a global nuclear test ban treaty. Clinton also addressed a new Census Bureau report that 44.3 mil- lion Americans, one in six, had no health insurance coverage in 1998. The survey found that the number of people without coverage grew by nearly a million, but overall popula- tion growth kept the rate about steady � 16.3 percent in 1998, compared with 16.1 percent in 1997. In 19, 15.6 percent lacked coverage. Jennifer Campbell, author of the Census report, said health care cov- erage among children did not change significantly from 1997 to 1998, with 11.1 million, or 15.4 per- cent, of the under-18 population uninsured. Children ages 12 to 17 were slightly more likely to be without health care coverage than those under 12 � 16.0 percent, compared with 15.1 percent. The president said he expected congressional passage this year of legislation by Sens. Jim Jeffords, R- Vt and Edward M. Kennedy, D- Mass that will allow people with disabilities to go into the work force and keep their federal health insur- ance. He said lawmakers also should enact his proposal to allow Americans as young as 55 to buy Medicare health insurance. Clinton also said he was glad that Vice President Al Gore and for- mer Sen. Bill Bradley, competitors for the Democratic presidential nomination, were discussing com- peting health care proposals. "I hope that wc will continue to see this debated he said.

"The truth of history cannot be distorted and covered said Pyongyang's Rodong Sinmun, the main newspaper of the North's rul- ing Workers' Party of Korea. It said the U.S. forces commit- ted massacres not only in No Gun Ri but also in other areas during the 1950-53 war. Historians say North Korean troops committed far more atroci- ties, summarily executing U.S. prisoners of war and slaughtering large numbers of South Korean civilians. In its commentary, Rodong crit- icized the U.S. and South Korean governments for dismissing repeat- ed requests for an investigation by South Koreans who say they sur- vived the No Chin Ri killings.

Dttrtw i. 1999 Thi East Carolinian Raleigh coMinuad lion paga 3 "We were getting ready to pull out, and then this came along Culbreth said. The setback came after feeble signs of recovery began to emerge Monday in eastern North Carolina. After an unprecedented six-day layoff, the flue-cured tobacco mar- kets rebounded with generally higher prices to cheer farmers, many of whom had little else to praise. More than 39,000 North Carolina residents have registered for state and federal assistance so far since Floyd's devastation. The Federal Emergency Management Agency said it has approved more than $3.8 million in direct aid to hurricane victims in the state. Preliminary estimates show Floyd caused $70.2 million in housing damage in eastern North Carolina, with more than 3,000 homes destroyed or heavily dam- aged. At least 47 people died in North Carolina when the hurricane flood- ed parts of an 18,000-square-mile area. An estimated 2,100 people remain in shelters. Officials estimate agricultural losses due to Floyd will exceed $1 billion, and many eastern North Carolina farmers may decide it's time to try something else. "The reports that we're putting out estimate that fully 15 percent of the growers affected by these floods will probably go ahead and get out of the business said Jim Knight, a spokesman for the state Department of Agriculture. Environmentalists have sug- gested the state should impose restrictions that could remove ani- mal waste lagoons, as well as municipal sewage plants, from flood-prone areas. But farm advocates say that would he complicated and expen- sive. "It's easy to say you're going to move people said Ann Cohen of the North Carolina Farm Bureau. "The question is, do they own land to move to?" Federal agriculture officials have been told that farmers need direct assistance, not loans. Most already are carrying all the debt Korea continued liom page 3 that U.S. commanders ordered their troops to shoot civilians as a defense against disguised enemy soldiers. After the AP report, the U.S. and South Korean governments promised thorough investigations into the No Gun Ri killings. "The U.S. imperialists should clearly see the situation and make an official apology for their murder- ous crimes against the South Korean people Rodong said. North Korea also repeated its demand that Washington withdraw 37,000 U.S. troops from South Korea. North Korea says the U.S. military presence raises tension on the divided Korean peninsula. The United States says the U.S. troops are in South Korea to deter threats from the communist North. The two Koreas are still technically at war because no peace treaty was signed at the end of the Korean War. Their border is the world's most heavily armed. Meanwhile, officials from National Intelligence Service, con- ducted a preliminary field investi- gation Monday, interviewing No Gun Ri survivors and visiting the bridge. It marked the first time any- South Korean government officials questioned the No Ciun Ri sur- vivors. No Gun Ri remained a hot issue in the National Assembly, where legislators criticized the govern- ment for dismissing earlier sur- vivors' claims. The survivors have said they do not want communist support in their campaign to win compensa- tion and an apology from Washington. MATH� POWER Algebra Geometry Calculus. Call 1-800-97NACME.

OPINION! . CHRIS SACHS Application process invites discrimination is so simple: There is no jus- tifiable reason why a person s name, gender, race, age or reli- gion should be on any applica- tion or test. There is a problem that affects the entire country and has contin- ued to do so for decades. That problem is discrimination. The callusecl thumb of discrimination has been flicking the Zippo of big- otry for as long as anyone can remember, and it's time to end it once and for all. But that's an unrealistic objective and I am a realist. I have come up with a plan that I think will do more for equality than most of the laws passed in the last 25 years. I have devised a plan to end all discrimination from every application and testing process that takes place in this country every day, and that plan is anonymity. It is so simple: There is no jus- tifiable reason why a person's name, gender, race, age or religion should be on any application or test. The only reason those things are on applications and such in the first place is for record keeping and and statistical studies. Think about it: Why should someone need to know these per- sonal things until after the person has been judged on their merit? These items are only for newspa- pers, magazines, sociological research and government bean counters who want to compare how many of whom is doing what in relation to others. But the general public, as stu- pid as they are, doesn't see that this data is doing more harm than good, and that others really don't need it. Let's look at an example, shall we? Let's say that Mrs. White and Mrs. Black are both applying to a university. Now the new "Chris Sachs Application Form" is used and all the review committee member sees on the application is their test scores, extracurricular activities, written composition, past grades, letters of recommen- dation and a few other goodies. The person reviewing has no clue of her name and there is no age: If she is too young or old she will not be taken into considera- tion. No race will be listed: Why does the reviewer need to know that? What difference should it make? There is no gender to be seen. Should that make a differ- ence? Nope. And religion is absent, because everyone has their own beliefs and it's no one else's business. So there you have it: a level playing field. Person A has no advantage over Person B unless one has been more productive in their educational career and was more convincing on their written essay. And those have nothing to do with race or gender or anything else; it has to do with who is more qualified for the position. There is no need for dumb quotas and there will be no complaining about the process being unfair. This system works great for job applications, lease agreements, bank loans, juries, etc. Now this system is not fool proof. What about the interview? People have to meet the applicant in most cases, people will say. Everyone will eventually have to confront some Na.iskinheadKKK member that will never change their views, but at least you will have gotten fur- ther than you would have normal- ly. You got your foot in the door before they had a chance to close it in the first place That is a huge leap in the right direction. But for any process where an interview is not required, only qualification will determine the outcome, not quotas. This will also eliminate ethnic groups that want to cry discrimination as a cop out when they don't get their way. I low can one claim bigotry when the person reviewing the applica- tion has no earthly idea about your external qualities, age or beliefs? Many of you may be screaming that this idea makes us all num- bers and takes away our individu- ality. Not true. You are still the same person you will always be, but you will just be anonymous for the paperwork process that initial- ly seeks to categorize and discrim- inate. Once the approval or denial decision is made, the rest of the information will be released. Believe me, they will eventually find out who and what you are, but by then it's too late for them to deny you�they already accepted you. And if they don't like what they see, well then screw 'em. I think the new system ought to be government-mandated and placed into law. It should be enacted overnight and sweep the country in a manner of a few months. It will be a Shockwave of equality that will rock this country forward in the name of peace and equality. It will happen so fast the ignorant will not know what hit them. So, write your congressman and demand the "Chris Sachs Application Form Bill" be passed. Your children will thank you.

I lello my peoples! I hope that everybody is okay and living well. I wasn't really hurt by the big storm, thanks for asking. Since I'm sure everyone is tired of talking about it, lets change the subject altogether. And since there aren't any stand- out topics to rant about, I'm just going to let you in on a few of my recent thoughts. 1) Thank God for all these Dawson's Creek ripoffs on televi- sion this season now I can get my fun-loving, pretty white people with sexual gratification problems fix any day of the week. 2) I believe that the people who have a problem with the ruling for Instant Replay in football just need OPINION to realize that yes, he was out of bounds when he caught that one. Mm being a fan does not change anything. ) O'eez, I'm hungry. And Randy (Juaid's portrayal of the animated KFC Colonel just makes me yearn for a Tender Roast sandwich. And since I'm in between phone ser- vices, maybe I should do like that chnad that married Courtney Cox says and dial 1-oOO-CALL-ATT and dial down the middle. Choad. 4) And while we're on the topic of television commercials, lets talk about the new Gap campaign of nondescript models singing old eighties music standbys. Ever notice how they pretty much bark orders at you at the conclusion of the commercial? The latest is "everyone in leather Ayn Rand would have a field day with that one. 'They might as well have the cool guy from class teaching the class dork how to be cool, "She's All 'That" style. 5) Professional wrestling is not fake. It's rehearsed. 6) Another thing that bugs me lately is the fact that big corpora- tions are now basing how much money they donate to various char- ities based on the how football play- ers perform that day. I was listening to the Panthers game on the radio on the way home one day and John Kasay was just about to kick a field goal. All of the sudden, the radio said, "If he makes this one, RayCom will donate $500 to aid in the fight against muscular dystro- phy Well, isn't that generous? Know what happened? Kasay kicked it wide left, and the fight against muscular dystrophy contin- ued, completely unaided by RayCom. I might be a little mean at J times, but I'd never have the gutsj to say, "Sorry little Joey. Flutie did- n't get that fourth touchdown, so there will be no bone marrow trans- plant for you this week. But cheer up! The Make A Wish Foundation is here to make your wtslv come true, provided that .your wish involves a Nintendo 64, or going to! a real life Charlotte I lorriets game � Well, that's about all for now. I hope I haven't offended anybody, but if I did, accept my most sincere apologies. No really. Unless you're that guy that Courtney Cox mar- ried. Choad. -� This writer can be contacted at rkennemut@studentmedia.ecti.edu MARVELLE SULLIVAN US treats symptoms of drug problem, not causes $166 million is quite a large sum of money. To be sure, our govern- ment is using it wisely, right? Are they appropriating the money for flood relief? No. Is the money being used for farm aid. since East Coast farmers are now financially devastated because of flooding and wind? No. The money has to be used for education because of the United States' ridiculously low- teaching salaries and underfunded scholastic programs. Yet, that is not where the money is going either. The United States government is spending $166 million to combat the production and exportation of drugs in Colombia. 'This is absolutely the most insane and infuriating, way to spend taxpayer money. Not only is the United States funneling money into for- eign countries, but they are also doing so in a very illogical manner. First, to blame a foreign country for our supposed "problem"� which has decreased dramatically since the 1980s is ludicrous. Yes, Colombia is the chief exporter of heroin and cocaine, and they are just supplying a demand�not cre- ating one. 'This method of combating drug use epitomizes the warped mental- ity and approach the government takes. They treat the symptoms rather than the cause itself. If the money was spent on prevention and rehabilitation, then going to a foreign country where we do not belong anyway would not be neces- sary. Curbing demand is the only way to assure a true and lasting decrease in drug use. Curbing the supply, which is what is being attempted now only achieves small ami temporary decrease goals. Second, even if spending the money is logical, the way it is being used is absolutely not. It is a shame and a disgrace that the government believes spraying random Colombian poppy fields, training an anti-narcotic battalion and arrest- ing drug traffickers is really going to make a dent in production. The Colombian drug lords in response have already found new fields, trained a better guerrilla army and hired new pushers. The drug rrade is as permeated in their modern economic, cultural and political systems as Microsoft, fast food and lobbyists are to ours. Fen if it was the United States' job to curb Colombian production, obvi- ously we don't possess enough sense or wherewithal to accomplish the task. Third, and perhaps most impor- tantly, it is not the United States' job to police the world and extend our ethnocentric values whenever and wherever we deem it necessary. Colombia is not asking that we lead aerial campaigns on their land. We certainly would find it appalling if another country behaved this way on our territory. The Colombia attack is just another example of governmental waste. 'This isn't an isolationist ser- mon, but the United States has too many domestic needs to waste time and effort on something that will inevitably end in shattered dreams for the hope of an end to Colombian drug production and exportation.

Sun-kissed leaves harbor a red-and- gold hue while the air captures a c(x�l breeze. Students fill the cam- pus, talking animatedly with one another about impossible assign- ments due and previous weekend excursions. Local businesses arc up and running, serving their patrons with a variety of goods. With all of these people going about their daily activities, it's hard to believe we are still trying to cope and recover from the destruction caused by Hurricane Floyd. "I must say students are (uitc resilient said Dr. Lynn Roeder, director of the Center for Counseling and Student Development. As each day goes by, students attempt to go on and rebuild what Floyd destroyed. According to Roeder, the main concern currently facing students is filling their basic needs of housing. food and clothing. "We're anticipating that once the basic needs are met, things will begin to sink in Roeder said. "This should be in a couple of weeks Last week, it was estimated that over 100 members of the ECU com- munity attended sessions at the Counseling Center and approxi- mately 50 percent of the patients seen at Mental I lealth involved flood-related situations. "Mental Health and the (ounseling (Center is working close- ly together in order to get students the assistance they need in the right place said Dr. Jane Ross, staff psy- chologist at Student I lealth. Mental I lealth Division. Over the last couple of weeks, the Counseling Center and Mental Health have offered assistance to students, as well as staff and faculty through a variety of avenues, such as individual and group counseling ses- sions, tables set up at the Flood Resource Center and offering rou- tine around-the-clock contacts to a mental health professional. "Students can call at anytime to contact one of us Ross said. "Just contact the ECU police and they will inform students who the on-call counselor is Once the initial needs are ful- filled, counselors see other issues arising for students. Students talk with others who have experienced the same loss due to the hurricane. riinillS BY EMILY RICHARDSON "Things may not impact people- right away Roeder said. "One of our concerns is students getting re-trau- matized going back into their apart- ment and actually seeing what used to be their living space According to Roeder. students are trying to get reconnected to their lives prior to,the hurricane. "Some staff have saiil the day when classes resumed, they hail full attendance Roeder said. "This is another sign that students want to get on with a normal life Students have been affected in different ways and are dealing with the situation as best they can. "It was so emotional to see the Tar River reach the roofs of apart- ments said junior Julie Wilson. "The hardest thing was seeing one of my friends permanently leave Greenville because the flood left her with nothing "I wouldn't say coping is the word to use said senior April Petty. "I am basically in limbo-l no longer think of things in long term, but from moment to moment.

"Eat well, sleep, exerciser Excessive use of drugs and alcohol will not get us through the situation According to Roeder and Ross, it will take some time to get back to the way it used to be, so patience is key.

The steam plant, a division of Facilities Sen ices, is a vital compo- nent to ECU. It provides hot water and heat for the entire campus. During Floyd, the steam plant was maintained by as small group of individuals; Dennis Rey, the steam plant supervisor, Andre' Carmon, Dale Kingsland, Robert Newell and Steven Boseman. "We tried to keep the steam going as long as we could Rey said. They realized if the steam went out, the campus would have a new list of problems to add to the diffi- culties the storm was already caus- ing. Lack of drinkable water, itic- obstacles pre- sented by evac- uation and food shortages are just a few that faced this busy crew. The steam plant also assist- ed in other capacities on campus during the hurricane. "We could go places that others couldn't go because our vehicles are higher than other vehicles Rey said. "We carried kerosene over to Mendenhall for fuel, and we built blocks and barricades so no one would get injured When Floyd hit, the campus was deserted. "We were the only ones here beside the E( AI police Rey said. Safety is an important element of both the Floyd and the post-Floyd campus. PHOTOS BY EMILY RICHARDSON In conjunction with the police department, the team from Facilities Services helped to pre- vent accidents which could have occurred if it were not for their ded- ication and hard work. Many officers from the ECU police department were busy dur- ing the hurricane maintaining the security of the campus by con- s t a n t I y patrolling the area. "Some offi- cers worked 25-30 hour shifts during the hurricane said Lt. L a F r a n c e Davis.

We don't go out and cuss the people or shoot them the bird "As in pro wrestling, the shows are more-and-less scripted battles inside the ring he said. Added fellow wrestler Mark "Sweet Dreamz" Howard, "It's basically old school wrestling, which is what people really want to see now The wrestling matches are mix- tures of singles and doubles. A nor- mal night will feature about 2 hours with four match-ups. Fans can't seem to get enough, attendance started out at 25 -people and has risen to as high as 75. The EWA travels to Statesville and Concord, putting on different shows during the week. At each site, different wrestlers will appear, depending on the athlete's sched- ules. Additionally, the group visits churches, putting on Christian- themed shows. McKeever said South goes to the church shows with the normal three match set-ups, but also gives testimonials professing his faith in Ciod. Additionally, other wrestlers will speak, as will local ministers from the area. "It's really based on what they (the church host) want McKeever said.

"I don't just do it for show My relationship with the Lord is meaningful 24 hours a day. liven if I collected trash during the week, I would still be sharing my message with people As for the graphic violence and profanity he said is rampant in pro- fessional wrestling, South said, "I don't comprehend how people can think that has anything to do with wrestling On the possible conflict, Rev.

The Pirates did not disappoint as they whipped Army 3.5-14, improving their record to 5- 0. For the first time in four years ECU carried a Top 25 ranking into a game. Saturday, they brought their No. 19 ranking into Michie Stadium to face the Army Cadets. The last time ECU played at West Point, they defeated the Cadets 31-25 in 1995. With the effects of Hurricane Floyd and their upset over then No. 9, Miami still on their minds, the situation this time was very different. The Pirates got a strong perfor- mance from redshirt freshman kicker, Kevin Miller. Miller con- nected on four field goals including a career long 52-yarder. ECU has not had a kicker kick four field goals in a game since Chad I lolcomb hit four against Stanford in the 1995 Liberty Bowl. "Kevin is very effective said I lead Coach Steve Logan. "I told Davidiarrardl not to turn the ball over when we got into the red zone because Kevin is so efficient. You take 12 points off the board and we're in a break-neck football game Coming into the game unde- feated, and with a C-l'SA show- down with Southern Miss next week the Pirates had all the ingre- dients for a let down versus Army. The Pirates made sure that would not happen. ECU opened the game by mov- ing the ball into the red zone and faltering. The Pirates' first drive ended in a 30-yard field goal by- Miller. Miller hit four FG's and three PAT's against Army. PHOTO BY EMILY RICHARDSON The Cadets took over and their first drive was indicative of the way the afternoon would go for Army.

STEPHEN ICHRAMM Do not read this column Didn't you read the headline? If you're the least bit superstitious like I am, you're advised to net read any further. This column is about something I don't even want to be talking about, and yet I just cannot hold back. During halftone of the Alabama-Florida game, CBS showed highlights of ECU's win over Army. After the highlights were over and the score was shown, former Auburn coach Terry Bowden said how ECU could run the table and end up just like Tulane last season. Before I get too deep in this col- umn let me say one thing: Being undefeated is damn hard. Tennessee went undefeated last year by the grace of God. The Vols needed a missed field goal by Florida and Arkansas quarterback Clint Stoerner to lay the ball on the Neyland Stadium turf to notch their perfect season. Tulane, a fellow C-USA school went undefeated in 1998 and ended up out of any meaningful bowl considerations. The Green Wave played a schedule laden with' cupcakes. They played a C-USA schedule, but due to a scheduling quirk they did not play ECU. In 1998, C-USA was a weaker confer- ence. Their non-conference sched ule included such bantamweights as Rutgers, Navy and the never- dangerous Ragin' Cajuns of Southwestern Louisiana. In 1999 C-USA is a better con- ference. Schools like Cincinnati and Southern Miss, have had the huge wins that escaped them in 1998 and have played tough at places like Ohio State and Nebraska. If the Pirates go undefeated (knock on wood) and follow the same path as Tulane, as many say they will, it will be an injustice. Over a year ago when the 1999 schedule fell into place, the Pirates could have taken a cue from Tulane. Tulane's plight proved that a C-USA schedule was not enough to get recognition in college foot- ball. Thus, scheduling games with West Virginia, South Carolina in Columbia and N.C. State seemed like tests tough enough to bring attention to any program. West Virginia lost badly to Maryland and their season has turned out to be a. bust. The Gamecocks have yet to win a game and State has been going downhill since a win at Texas in the season's first week. However, unlike Tulane, the Pirates at least made an attempt to play tough teams. If these games don't garner any serious consideration for the Pirates in any big time bowls, then the win over Miami should. If the gods of college football can over- look a win over a top 10 team, then'J what's the use of playing a tough schedule in the first place? J Tulane went undefeated in � 1998 and played only one team from a major conference, Rutgers, J the doormat of the Big East. ECU J will have played two teams from the Big East, West Virginia and j Miami; two teams from the ACC, j Duke and N.C. State; and one ' team- from the SEC, South Carolina. I realize this is ridiculously pre- mature, and that the bad karma kicked up by this column is pretty intense. The 1998 Tulane squad was a special team and if ECU can hold on and go to the Liberty Bowl, it would be a great way to end a season. However, if the Pirates can win out, they should not be penalized for having "a weak schedule The truth is that SEE OPIMIOH PAGE I? : Harm firstevett Ik i ASMS!

He hopes his latest offer will lure the team captain to return for this weekend's opener, but that's unlikely, says Todd Reynolds, one of Primeau's agents. "It's not like there is a real carrot in here Reynolds said of the team's offer. "It is not what we had hoped for The latest offer by Rutherford is a shorter-term, two-year deal for the 6-foot-5, 220-pound center. Before Wednesday's offer, the Hurricanes had a five-year, $20 million deal on the table. Primeau, 27, who led the team with 30 goals last season, and agents Don and Todd Reynolds arc seek- ing $5 million a season. Rutherford said the new offer still puts Primeau in the $4 million- a-year category and includes incen- tives close to $500,000. Primeau would also have an opportunity to come back to the bargaining table in two years. "This gives him an opportunity to have a couple of big years and put up some bigger numbers to where he could come back to us or go to an arbitrator to say I'm worth the kind of money he has been ask- ing for Rutherford said� "It does- n't tie his hands for as long as our five-year proposal However, Reynolds said late SEE HURRICANE!

The past two years, Curtis served as director of football operations at the University of Houston. Prior to his stay in Houston, he was the director of marketing and promotions at Troy State University in Alabama. While there, he also served as the game day coordinator for foot- ball, basketball and baseball, and as tournament director for several Mid-Continent Conference Championships. Curtis also served as director of ticket sales and marketing at the University of Tennessee- Chattanooga, and as a coach and teacher at Brookville High School in Lynchburg, Va. "I am very excited about com- ing to East Carolina Cunis said. "I've always regarded the program here as a highly successful, highly visible one, and I feel fortunate to be a part of it" In another move, Angie Wellman, ECU's director of Marketing, was promoted to Assistant Athletics Director for Marketing. SEE CURTIS RUE 12 Football continued Irnni page 10 said. "Once it became a pitch game for them, I felt very comfortable that we could run them down After a three and out. Army was forced to punt. ECU's Keith Stokes, fielded the punt and backpedaled. Stokes got some blockers and took off. Stokes ran to the end zone for an apparent score. However, an illegal block nullified the run and the Pirates took over on their side of the field. The Pirates moved the ball and when Miller connected on his sec- ond field goal, this one from the 29, the Pirates went up 6-0. The Pirates took over after another Army punt, and drove downfield going up 9-0 on Miller's 52-yarder. Miller's kick was ECU's longest since Holcomb connected on a 52- yardcr versus Miami in 19. The kick was the third longest in school history. Midway through the second quarter. Army took over and failed to move the ball. The Cadets punt- ed and ECU took over in their own territory. After a Stokes' reception moved the ball to the ECU 38, Garrard hit Amie Powell for a 62- yard touchdown pass. Garrard, after being hit as he threw while Powell caught the pass, broke a few tackles and raced in for the score. After Miller hit the PAT, the Pirates were up 16-0. Army got the ball and moved across midfield for the first time in the game. The Pirates blocked the Cadets 45-yard field goal attempt and recovered the ball on their own 2-yard line. The Pirates were able to move the ball off of their own goal line and punt. The half expired shortly thereafter with the Pirates up 16-0. After Army's ripening drive fal- tered, the Pirates drove downfield and Miller connected on his founh field goal of the day. The third quarter saw the Pirates and Cadets exchange pos- sessions without scoring. Army finally broke into the scoring-col- umn with a touchdown early in the fourth quarter to make the score 19- 7. After the Cadets and Pirates exchanged punts, Army got the ball at their own 40-yard line. Army quarterback Joe Gerena dropped back to throw when defensive end Kevin Ward slammed into him. The ball popped loose and Norris McCleary recovered, rumbling 40 yards for the score to put ECU on top 26-7. The Cadets would score again on a Gerena run and the Pirates would score again when Marcellus Harris returned an onside kick for a touchdown to make the final score 33-14.

"We feel very strong about our position and we have to go forward Primeau, a restricted free agent, balked at the five-year deal because it would have taken him one year past when he could have filed for unrestricted free agency. Teams can match offers given to unrestricted free agents or receive draft picks as compensation, while unrestricted free agents can shop on the open market. The latest offer by the Hurricanes also drops any fines for missing training camp. "We could have taken that posi- tion, but we didn't Rutherford said. . If Primeau accepts the offer, he'll be in the lineup against the Bruins, Rutherford said. "Physically and mentally, he's saying he's ready to go and I'm sure he has worked very hard, but I don't think anybody who has missed a training camp in any pro- fessional sports is ready to go Rutherford said.
