NOVEMBER 9. 1999 Registration begins, students face many options Opinions vary as to which system is best Maura Buck STAFF WRITER This week students begin registering for spring 200 classes, and many are over- whelmed by the options avail- able to them. Today, via the Internet, telephone, and terminal pro- cedures, a student can regis- ter in various ways. The oldest of the register- ing methods is the terminal. Students must bring their reg- istration form signed by their academic advisor and their as- signed registration code. "I would certainly com- pose a list of alternate courses with your advisor including not only other section num- bers, but also other courses to make the process a little easier said Amy Bissette, as- sistant registrar. In years past, students have been known to camp- out and stand in line for hours on end. Despite those pitfalls, Senior Ashley Batts pre-registers at Whichard for Spring 2000 semester, (photo by Emily Richardson) many upper-class students feel more comfortable with the ter- minal method simply because it is the one most familiar to them. "I'd rather see it on screen as the technician types It in rather than the Web or the telephone said Gerri Ashe, a senior Com- munications major. "This way, I don't have to worry about an operator making a mistake or the Web site crashing Certainly there are some valid fears with the alternate SGA pay matches minimum wage methods of signing up for courses, yet other students feel it is a welcome change to waiting in line at their depart- ment building. An advantage to both the Web and the telephone reg- istrations are the hours of op- eration. Throughout the week students can commence their scheduling process on their designated day at 6 a.m Income fair compared to other campuses Angela Harne STAFF WRITER Like most students with cam- pus jobs, the SGA executive of- ficers look forward to their pay- checks at the end of every month. But exactly how much are they getting paid? Overton Harper, SGA Trea- surer, stated that the officers' monthly pay varies based on their position. The president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer receive $400, $250, $200 and $275, respectively. According to SGA President Cliff Webster, all representatives also receive $200 a semester for books. SGA advisor, Dean of Stu- dents Ron Speier, said that the payments are approved by the student body legislature. "I've been the advisor for the past 10 years Speier said. "The payment amounts have been changed over the years based on each representative's workloads. They have also been com- pared to other leadership roles on cam- pus Opinions about their salaries vary among the stu- dent represen- tatives. "I think that our pay is very reason- able said SGA Vice President John Meriac. "When you weigh our office hours and work outside of the office, the pay evens up to about minimum wage "I don't think the pay is rea- sonable at all Webster said. "A student cannot live off of $400 a SOM device gives hope to aneurysm victims SGA President Cliff Webster, V. President John Monroe, Treasurer Overton Harper and Secretary Jessica Dowdy month.

The Second Annual Graduate and Professional School Fair took place last Thursday with under- graduates searching for prospec- tive schools in which they will help them get their master's or doctorate. Representatives from various schools set up booths from 10 a.m1:30 p.m in the Multl-Purpose Room in Menden- hall Student Center. "I found the fair very help- ful said junior Adam Carroll. "I'm interested in the law schools and there were many to choose from. Everyone was very nice and well-organized According to Dr. Max Poole, associate dean of graduate school, the fair was successful. "This Is a great honor for us Poole said. "We are gaining na- tional recognition. It's very im- pressive to me that so many graduate schools have come "It's very impressive to me that so many graduate schools have come from such great dis- tances. " -Dr. Max Poole, associate dean of graduate school from such great distances Graduate school representa- tives were impressed with stu- dents. "I've seen a fair amount of students said Anna Basnightof Graduate Admissions for Appa- lachian State University. "Many students have a good idea of what they're looking for. It's quite impressive "I am delighted to be here from the West Coast said Sandy Lane, Bastyr University represen- tative. "I just met a student who yeted from UNC-Wilmington this fair, All the stutients are Highly motivated and impres- sive The day was a busy one for students and the Over 35 gradu- ate school representatives. "I've had a lot of traffic said David Snafer, a representative from N.C. State. "Students are focused and everything is very organized "This fair is amazing said Terri Woods, ECU associate pro- fessor department of biology. "Usually you are lucky If you talk to one student, but 1 just finished talking to six. Students are ex- cited and enthusiastic "This is my second year here said Pam Reynolds, Chatham College representative. "We had several students from ECU apply last year and are now in our physical assistant school Some students were disap- pointed with the fair. "The fair was all right said junior Christopher Columbus. "I'm a physical therapy major and some of the graduate schools were more helpful than others "Unfortunately there was only one pharmacy school said senior Ayne Adenew. "It would be really great if ECU could in- corporate a pharmaceutical school This writer can be contacted at aharne@studentmedia. ecu. edu Cost of treatment estimated at $20,000 Ashley Roberts STAFF WRITER The Food and Drug Adminis- tration has recently approved an endovascular device that is being tested at the ECU School of Medi- cine. According to the Medical Center News and Information of University Health Systems and the School of Medicine, this de- vice is used for treating abdomi- nal aortic aneurysms without major surgery. According to Dr. William Bo- gey, a vascular surgeon at the School of Medicine, an abdomi- nal aortic aneurysm affects the main blood vessel coming out of the heart. An aneurysm is the "ballooning" out of the artery. This ballooning effect can cause the artery to burst, and the vic- tim could bleed to death. "Generally, but not always, those over 60 years old tend to be more likely to be diagnosed with an abdominal aortic aneu- rysm Bogey said. "People that smoke or have hypertension also tend to be higher at risk According to Bogey, an ab- dominal aortic aneurysm usually has no effect until it ruptures. He described how a endovascular device would be placed into a patient. "It is first inserted through in- cisions in the groin and then loaded into a fairly large catheter which can be released and will stick to the walls of the aorta Bogey said. Bogey further described how very small hooks are then latched onto the wall of the aorta. As a result, blood flows through the catheter instead of the aneurysm, which makes It less likely to rupture. He stated that the total cost for the repair of an abdominal aortic aneurysm, with the help of this new device, will be ap- proximately $20,000. "This device is brand new on the market and very few people know how to use it Bogey said. According to the ECU School of Medicine, treatment with the device had a 91 percent success rate.

(AP)�A family of three remained in critical condition Sunday after a man allegedly shot his estranged wife and toddler In a motel room before turning the gun on himself. Ijaz Hussain, 29, of Whittier, his 26-year-old wife Egla and 14-month-old daughter Jasmine were hospi- talized in critical condition at the University of Cali- fornia, Irvine Medical Center in Orange, said Sgt. Michael Gray. Early police statements erroneously said the father and daughter had died. The family checked into the Parkway Inn Friday night. Officers were called there shortly after 5:30 a.m. Saturday by reports of gunshots. Hussain apparently shot his wife and daughter and then himself, Gray said. A handgun was found at the scene, he added. "The shooting may be the result of a domestic vio- lence incident" but the nature of the dispute was un- clear, he said. Mrs. Hussein filed for divorce in April after four years of marriage, according to court records. She had been separated from her husband for sev- eral months and was living with her sister and mother in the Los Angeles suburb of Whittier, her father, Dagoberto Perez, told the Orange County Register. The couple had a history of domestic violence, po- lice and relatives said. "One day I came home and found that he had beaten her, so I kicked him out said Perez, who had been living with the couple. His daughter left with Hussain, she added. "He kept bothering, calling her, and she tried not to see him said Mrs. Hussain's mother, Milka Perez. "But I guess he was putting too much pressure on her, and so she went with him�and that's what happened Hussain, a Pakistani immigrant, had been held at a federal detention center in Eloy, Ariz, pending a de- portation hearing, but was released in August. Families mourn victims of EgyptAir 990 crash NEWPORT, Rhode Island (AP)�Relatives of the vic- tims of EgyptAir Flight 990 gathered Sunday to bid them a wrenching farewell, with one woman wailing "My baby, my baby and others holding onto each other after an emotional service at the edge of the sea where their loved ones remain. About 250 family members gathered on a clear, cold afternoon at a park overlooking the Atlantic Ocean as leaders of the Jewish, Christian and Islamic faiths of- fered readings, chants and prayers in three languages. "Your loss is great, your pain deep, but you must find solace in the memory of those wonderful moments you shared with your loved ones said Egyptian Am- bassador Nebil Fahmy, who read from the Bible and the Koran. Relatives were led to the water through a corridor formed by military personnel and caregivers including workers from Red Cross, National Transportation Safety Board and Salvation Army. Some wept and wiped their faces with handkerchiefs as they dropped flowers into the sea, while others left their flowers in a wicker basket. One woman was so overcome that she had to be helped to the beach. Oth- ers wailed and wept. A military honor guard carried the basket to a Coast Guard helicopter, which hovered overhead briefly be- fore slowly departing. The Coast Guard said the heli- copter would drop the flowers at the crash site Tues- day. OPTIONS from page 1 two hours before the terminal method is available.

Despite U.S. District Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson's preliminary findings against Microsoft, however, both the government and the company expressed a willingness to con- sider an out-of-court settle- ment.

Tuescfay, Nov. 9, 1999 www.tec.ecu.edu The East Carolinian news9studentmedia.ecu.edu -N ACROSS OTHER CAMPUSES Ohio State U�Topless team photographs have long been a tra- dition for men's rugby teams, but the Ohio State University women's rugby team posing topless was a first. :in front of the Lincoln Memo- rial in Washington, D.C. the team was photographed by a photogra- pher, from The Washington Post: Twelve of the 37 team members were topless. Suspended from practice and two games, the team is still under scrutiny from university officials. The administration has been considering possible repercussions, said David Williams II, vice presi- dent of Student Affairs. Rugby is a club sport at OSU, so the team falls under the jurisdiction of Student Affairs. Head Coach Jon Moore said the team wants to present Williams with a plan where only the girls who were topless in the photograph would be punished. "The students understand that they did something that caused great harm to the university, that's definitely clear Moore said. "They are very willing to make up for that and make amends The photograph in question came about when the team stopped in front of the Lincoln Memorial to take a group photo. After the pho- tograph was taken, a few players took another shot with their shirts off while covering themselves with their hands. The Post photographer shot them putting their shirts back on, Moore said. According to the Post story whifch ran in The Columbus Dis- patch Monday, the team had plans to market the photograph on T- shirs that would be sold on cam- pus Moore said there was never any such plan. 'Let me assure you there was at no time any organized intent or plan by the club to produce, mar- ket or distribute pictures, T-shirts, or calendars featuring unclothed OSU women's rugby players Moore said. NCSU�A lot of North Carolina State University students helped out with Hurricane Floyd relief by do- nating money and supplies during the drives here on campus. The NCSU relief effort is now continu- ing with the College of Veterinary Medicine. North Carolina's veterinarians and interested citizens, and the NCSU College of Veterinary Medi- cine faculty and students came to- gether, according to the Hurricane Floyd Animal Relief Effort Web page, to form a field hospital for lost and hurt animals. "The College of Veterinary Medicine field hospital was estab- lished to minimize the animal suf- fering associated with the impact of Hurricane Floyd describes the Web page. "Our number-one goal said Kelli Ferris, director of the field hos- pital, in a recent news release, "has always been to reunite these ani- mals with their owners The Web page also explains that donations have been made by local businesses, corporations and citi- zens, and these donations have paid for food and supplies that were nec- essary to treat over 500 lost pets. Though the college initially helped out in the field, now most of the animals have been found and treated�and the main work re- maining is locating the owners. This search is done using the Internet. "We knew we needed a way for people across the state to see pic- tures of animals said Leigh Ann Wilder, director of college relations in the College of Veterinary Medi- cine. She said that for this reason, the college bought a digital camera and started taking pictures of animals that were found when the college worked with rescue efforts to find and treat animals. Color pictures of located cats and dogs have been posted on the Web page. The Internet provides a perfect medium for getting the pic- tures available to people every- where. Violence committed by children on the rise PHOENIX (AP)�Penny McCardole's stepfather used to push a garbage can up against his bedroom door at night, hoping the sound of it toppling over would wake him if the 13-year-old tried to kill him while he slept. Greg Virden, Penny's stepfa- ther, says he had good reason to be afraid. Since she was S, Penny has hit teachers, hurled desks and beat other kids. A buckled wooden door, torn from its hinges by the girl, leans against the kitchen wall in her Mesa mobile home. That recent fit of rage landed Penny in juvenile hall, one of a steadily increasing number of kids being sent there for domestic vio- lence. In 1998, 1,779 kids in Maricopa County were cited for domestic violence, compared with 1,255 kids in 1994, said Cherie Townsend, director of ju- venile court services for Maricopa County. The increase is worrisome, ex- perts say. But even more alarm- ing, they say, is that the kids are getting more violent. A kid who once shoved his mother now punches her in the face. Dad gets beat to the floor instead of just pushed aside. And parents who hit their kids get it in return, blow for blow. "This is the most violent indus- trialized country on the planet, so- cially and culturally, so it's not sur- prising to see it in homes said Tho- mas Haines, professor of social work at Arizona State University West. The severity of the violence does seem to be increasing. We're see- ing violent crimes leading up to ho- micides within families This summer, a Phoenix teenager with a history of violent behavior at home reportedly killed his father with a baseball bat as the man slept on the couch, according to police. Experts point to myriad reasons for this violence�turbulent family life, violence on television and in movies, mental illness�but they agree that all children are different, and so are their reasons for lashing out. Penny's third-grade school pic- ture shows a sweet-looking girl with pink hearts on the collar of her shirt. It was the last one she had taken. Her mother, Wendy Virden, pulled Penny out.of school shortly after that, deciding to teach the little girl at home. Wendy says the teacher was so afraid of Penny that she did not make her do any schoolwork. Penny was fust 5 when she hit a teacher�for the first time. She did it again in first, second and third grades. Now a teenager, she's still a sweet- faced young girl, but she talks tough about fighting with her stepfather, sometimes coming to blows. Her stepfather recalls the fights with dismay. They put the household in turmoil and strained his relation- ship with his new wife of just a year and a half, he said. In fact, the couple separated for a short time but are now reunited and getting counseling through their church. "I wasn't the perfect Mom all the time, either Wendy admits. When Penny was younger, Wendy says she would leave Penny and her brother, now 17, alone while she went to the bar. Penny was so hard to control that Wendy says she often resorted to grabbing her by the hair or hitting her. It was something she learned from her own parents, Wendy said. And something she taught her daughter. At 6, Penny beat up a 5-year-old boy who wouldn't share his toys. Even the point of her pencil snap- ping could send her into a rage. ' "She was a bomb her mother said. At Central Christian Church in Mesa, Penny growled at people who talked to her, even just to say, "Good morning "I wanted to curl up in a cave and stay there she said. "I was mad at the world It was on Mother's Day this year that a fight between Penny and her stepfather got so out of hand that Wendy called police. When officers arrived about 1:30 p.m Penny was in her room, shaking the bunk beds so hard that they moved away from the wall. It was the night Penny wrenched the door from its hinges. "When I get mad, I get strong she said. The girl's probation officer rec- ommended counseling, Wendy said, rolling her eyes. Penny has been in counseling since she was in kindergarten. Wendy, now 36, has been going since she was 19. "If s not helping she said. They needed something more. Nearly 100 arrested at fraternity party BLOOMSBURG, Pa. (AP)� About 100 people were arrested on underage drinking and other charges in a weekend raid on a fra- ternity house near a police station. Some of those arrested were as young as 15; most of were Bloomsburg University students or their younger brothers and sisters, police said. Police estimated the basement beer party crowd at about 200 people. The bust appears to be the larg- est in Bloomsburg in at least the last decade. It came as parents of many students were in town for the an- nual parents' weekend to showcase the university. One woman was found unconcious in the basement and was taken to a hospital. Plainclothes officers entered the party about 11:30 p.m. Friday and were charged $5 at the door, Sgt. Leo Sokoloski said. Police had the house under surveillance for some time. Officers knew a party was planned when a delivery of canned beer ar- rived earlier in the day. A warrant to enter the property had been pre- pared in advance. Fraternity members stationed outside listened to scanners tuned to police frequencies in hopes of learning of any bust before it hap- pened, Sokoloski said. But police used coded frequencies that can't be picked up on civilian scanners. Local police issued 65 citations, Sokoloski said; he estimated that those cited by state police and liquor agents would bring the total to about 100. Sokoloski noted that some of those busted are 15 and 16 years old. They were apparently visiting with parents for the weekend and went to the bash with older brothers and sisters. "Big brother and big sister were showing them a good time the sergeant said. No parents were found in the house, he said. Officers and members of the GEO fraternity would not talk to reporters. A Bloomsburg University spokesman said school officials are waiting to see that all the charges are true before taking action. The fraternity risks losing its charter with the university. The stu- dents face individual hearings be- fore the student conduct board. GEO is currently recognized by the university.

(AP)�A family of three remained in critical condition Sunday after a man allegedly shot his estranged wife and toddler in a motel room before turning the gun on himself. Ijaz Hussain, 29, of Whittier, his 26-year-old wife Egla and 14-month-old daughter Jasmine were hospi- talized in critical condition at the University of Cali- fornia, Irvine Medical Center in Orange, said Sgt. Michael Gray. Early police statements erroneously said the father and daughter had died. The family checked into the Parkway Inn Friday night. Officers were called there shortly after 5:30 a.m. Saturday by reports of gunshots. Hussain apparently shot his wife and daughter and then himself, Gray said. A handgun was found at the scene, he added. "The shooting may be the result of a domestic vio- lence incident" but the nature of the dispute was un- clear, he said. Mrs. Hussein filed for divorce in April after four years of marriage, according to court records. She had been separated from her husband for sev- eral months and was living with her sister and mother in the Los Angeles suburb of Whittier, her father, Dagoberto Perez, told the Orange County Register. The couple had a history of domestic violence, po- lice and relatives said. "One day I came home and found that he had beaten her, so I kicked him out said Perez, who had been living with the couple. His daughter left with Hussain, she added. "He kept bothering, calling her, and she tried not to see him said Mrs. Hussain's mother, Milka Perez. "But I guess he was putting too much pressure on her, and so she went with him�and that's what happened Hussain, a Pakistani immigrant, had been held at a federal detention center in Eloy, Ariz, pending a de- portation hearing, but was released in August. Families mourn victims of EgyptAir 990 crash NEWPORT, Rhode Island (AP)�Relatives of the vic- tims of EgyptAir Flight 990 gathered Sunday to bid them a wrenching farewell, with one woman wailing "My baby, my baby and others holding onto each other after an emotional service at the edge of the sea where their loved ones remain. About 250 family members gathered on a clear, cold afternoon at a park overlooking the Atlantic Ocean as leaders of the Jewish, Christian and Islamic faiths of- fered readings, chants and prayers in three languages. "Your loss is great, your pain deep, but you must find solace in the memory of those wonderful moments you shared with your loved ones said Egyptian Am- bassador Nebil Fahmy, who read from the Bible and the Koran. Relatives were led to the water through a corridor formed by military personnel and caregivers including workers from Red Cross, National Transportation Safety Board and Salvation Army. Some wept and wiped their faces with handkerchiefs as they dropped flowers into the sea, while others left their flowers in a wicker basket. One woman was so overcome that she had to be helped to the beach. Oth- ers wailed and wept. A military honor guard carried the basket to a Coast Guard helicopter, which hovered overhead briefly be- fore slowly departing. The Coast Guard said the heli- copter would drop the flowers at the crash site Tues- day. � i- ' u. OPTIONS from page 1 two hours before the terminal method is available.

In front of the Lincoln Memo- rial in Washington, D.C. the team was photographed by a photogra- pher, from The Washington Post: Twelve of the 37 team members were topless. Suspended from practice and two games, the team is still under scrutiny from university officials. The administration has been considering possible repercussions, said David Williams II, vice presi- dent of Student Affairs. Rugby is a club sport at OSU, so the team falls under the jurisdiction of Student Affairs. Head Coach Jon Moore said the team wants to present Williams with a plan where only the girls who were topless in the photograph would be punished. "The students understand that they did something that caused great harm to the university, that's definitely clear Moore said. "They are very willing to make up for that and make amends The photograph in question came about when the team stopped in front of the Lincoln Memorial to take a group photo. After the pho- tograph was taken, a few players took another shot with their shirts off while covering themselves with their hands. The Post photographer shot them putting their shirts back on, Moore said. According to the Post story whith ran in The Columbus Dis- patch Monday, the team had plans to market the photograph on T- shir(s that would be sold on cam- pus Moore said there was never any such plan. Let me assure you there was at no time any organized intent or plan by the club to produce, mar- ket or distribute pictures, T-shirts, or calendars featuring unclothed OSU women's rugby players Moore said. NCSU�A lot of North Carolina State University students helped out with Hurricane Floyd relief by do- nating money and supplies during the drives here on campus. The NCSU relief effort Is now continu- ing with the College of Veterinary Medicine. North Carolina's veterinarians and interested citizens, and the NCSU College of Veterinary Medi- cine faculty and students came to- gether, according to the Hurricane Floyd Animal Relief Effort Web page, to form a field hospital for lost and hurt animals. "The College of Veterinary Medicine field hospital was estab- lished to minimize the animal suf- fering associated with the impact of Hurricane Floyd describes the Web page. "Our number-one goal said Kelli Ferris, director of the field hos- pital, in a recent news release, "has always been to reunite these ani- mals with their owners The Web page also explains that donations have been made by local businesses, corporations and citi- zens, and these donations have paid for food and supplies that were nec- essary to treat over 500 lost pets. Though the college initially helped out in the field, now most of the animals have been found and treated�and the main work re- maining is locating the owners. This search is done using the Internet. "We knew we needed a way for people across the state to see pic- tures of animals said Leigh Ann Wilder, director of college relations in the College of Veterinary Medi- cine. She said that for this reason, the college bought a digital camera and started taking pictures of animals that were found when the college worked with rescue efforts to find and treat animals. Color pictures of located cats and dogs have been posted on the Web page. The Internet provides a perfect medium for getting the pic- tures available to people every- where. Violence committed by children on the rise PHOENIX (AP)�Penny McCardole's stepfather used to push a garbage can up against his bedroom door at night, hoping the sound of it toppling over would wake him if the 13-year-old tried to kill him while he slept. Greg Virden, Penny's stepfa- ther, says he had good reason to be afraid. Since she was 5, Penny has hit teachers, hurled desks and beat other kids. A buckled wooden door, torn from its hinges by the girl, leans against the kitchen wall in her Mesa mobile home. That recent fit of rage landed Penny in juvenile hall, one of a steadily increasing number of kids being sent there for domestic vio- lence. In 1998, 1,779 kids in Maricopa County were cited for domestic violence, compared with 1,255 kids in 1994, said Cherie Townsend, director of ju- venile court services for Maricopa County. The increase is worrisome, ex- perts say. But even more alarm- ing, they say, is that the kids are getting more violent. A kid who once shoved his mother now punches her in the face. Dad gets beat to the floor instead of fust pushed aside. And parents who hit their kids get It in return, blow for blow. "This is the most violent indus- trialized country on the planet, so- cially and culturally, so ifs not sur- prising to see it in homes said Tho- mas Haines, professor of social work at Arizona State University West. The severity of the violence does seem to be increasing. We're see- ing violent crimes leading up to ho- micides within families This summer, a Phoenix teenager with a history of violent behavior at home reportedly killed his father with a baseball bat as the man slept on the couch, according to police. Experts point to myriad reasons for this violence�turbulent family life, violence on television and in movies, mental illness�but they agree that all children are different, and so are their reasons for lashing out. Penny's third-grade school pic- ture shows a sweet-looking girl with pink hearts on the collar of her shirt. It was the last one she had taken. Her mother, Wendy Virden, pulled Penny out.of school shortly after that, deciding to teach the little girl at home. Wendy says the teacher was so afraid of Penny that she did not make her do any schoolwork. Penny was just 5 when she hit a teacher�for the first time. She did It again in first, second and third grades. Now a teenager, she's still a sweet- faced young girl, but she talks tough about fighting with her stepfather, sometimes coming to blows. Her stepfather recalls the fights with dismay. They put the household in turmoil arid strained his relation- ship with his new wife of just a year and a half, he said. In fact, the couple separated for a short time but are now reunited and getting counseling through their church. "I wasn't the perfect Mom all the rime, either Wendy admits. When Penny was younger, Wendy says she would leave Penny and her brother, now 17, alone while she went to the bar. Penny was so hard to control that Wendy says she often resorted to grabbing her by the hair or hitting her. It was something she learned from her own parents, Wendy said. And something she taught her daughter. At 6, Penny beat up a 5-year-old boy who wouldn't share his toys. Even the point of her pencil snap- ping could send her into a rage. " "She was a bomb her mother said. At Central Christian Church in Mesa, Penny growled at people who talked to her, even just to say, "Good morning "I wanted to curl up in a cave and stay there she said. "I was mad at the world It was on Mother's Day this year that a fight between Penny and her stepfather got so out of hand that Wendy called police. When officers arrived about 1:30 p.m Penny was in her room, shaking the bunk beds so hard that they moved away from the wall. It was the night Penny wrenched the door from its hinges. "When I get mad, I get strong she said. The girl's probation officer rec- ommended counseling, Wendy said, rolling her eyes. Penny has been in counseling since she was in kindergarten. Wendjt now 36, has been going since she was 19. "Ifs not helping she said. They needed something more. Nearly 100 arrested at fraternity party BLOOMSBURG, Pa. (AP)� About 100 people were arrested on underage drinking and other charges in a weekend raid on a fra- ternity house near a police station. Some of those arrested were as young as 15; most of were Bloomsburg University students or their younger brothers and sisters, police said.

All over the place people complain about how much violence there is on TV and the negative ideas that it puts into the minds of our youth, but no one seems to do much about this problem. We all have the power to stop the madness and regain control of our lives. Lucky you, I am going to tell you exactly what needs to be done. I grew up with TV and Sesame Street like any other kid out there. When I lived at home, my parents had cable and all the other stuff. My first two years here, I had TV and cable, until now. Now, 1 have non of the above. Yep, that's right. 1 am probably one of the few studentsPitt County residents without this modern "necessity Honestly, I miss Saturday morning car- toons, but I have gained something in the midst of my yearning for Sylvester and Speedy Gonzalez. Since my involuntary hiatus from the "magical box" I have become a far better conversationalist than I could have ever imagined. Sorry to blow my own horn (actu- ally I'm not) but without the TV you are actually forced to hold lengthy conversations with your company, lis- ten to music with them, and become an active part of life instead of a mindless vegetable transplanted into the sofa. In regards to the action statement from the begin- ning, each one of us has the power to become spar- kling conversationalist and put an end to the mind- numbing informericals, brain-rotting soap operas and mindless other programs. This power lies in the palm of your hands or the cracks in between the cushions of your couches�the remote and the off button. Yes, when both are used as a team, they can solve may of the problems you are facing today. Someone I know said the TV was evil. Actually I agree with him, look at what it has done for society today. People complain about there not being enough communication in their relationships�well get off your ass, turn off your TV, and actually talk to your signifi- cant other. If you have kids and you don't like the shows they watch, you can regain your dwindling con- trol just by pressing that little button and sending your children to play in traffic. It's amazing how when the TV is involved people will magically turn into blindly obedient slaves. So, each and every one of us can regain control of our lives and quite possibly become better conversa- tionalist without that damn TV. Instead of complain- ing about nothing being on TV or having a relation- ship that lacks what is essential to it, just press the but- ton. I know you can do it, so why haven't you done so already?

Long time, no see! 1 haven't had an article for the past" couple of weeks, and some people thought I might have been fired or something. But make no mistake, the Ryan Dogg is like the Energizer Bunny, the only difference being that he doesn't shed acid if left out in the open too long. Well, let's get to it.

Over the past month, I have had multiple projects, exams, deaths in ih'e family, two-thirds of my income (the Fountainhead is taking a hia- jus) taken away and various other ferras of stress to deal with. You're p'roBably asking yourself I low do you deal with it, Dof,?" My only answer to this is�I don't. Just like the majority of the stu- i iem i here at ECU, I have no earthly . mi as u Mow to handle stress. I go out and exercise, throw rocks through windows and run from the police, but I can never get past the tension that builds right there in the small of your backyou know that spotright the I wake up at 8 every morning and read up for my classes, even though I don't have class un- til noon. This is just to keep up with my studies, so it's not like I'm read- ing about why Miss April doesn't like hang gliding. That's usually re- served for between classes, anyway. But my point is that I just don't have any true "Ryan time" anymore. I know that all of this work is for my future career, but sometimes a person just needs to get away. I'd love to be able to just sit back and let my parents pay for everything, but this is the life I have chosen. I lived Belk for three years, and belie, ne, that was easier than paying bills and dealing with land- lords. The biggest complaints I ever had in the dorm were about the heat, the parking, and the fact that my roommate and his girlfriend would wake me up in the middle of the night with their "wrestling So, what do we (you and I) do about these stressors that have found their way into our lives? We could schedule time each day to do whatever we want, or we could stop procrastinating and get our assign- ments done right when we get them, or we could just flunk out of school and live poor and homeless. Well, scratch that last one. I like Bojangles too much to give up my future. ! guess I may never know how to effectively deal with stress.

HOT DOG RECOGTUZED AS nORTH CAHQLinAS OEUJ STATE BIRD A lot of students can remember back a couple of years to when SCA members voted to raise their salary. The general uproar was considerable, but eventually blew over without any major effects. Many students were upset to learn that their SCA representatives had the power to increase their own pay by vote. So what's the going rate for presidents, secretaries, vice presidents and treasurers around here these days? This year's administration is making a pretty competitive salary com- pared to those at other schools. NCSU student body presidents make $3,600 a year. Compare that with Cliff Webster's $4,800 salary. UIMC-CH executive presidents come in at rock-bottom with a $2,400 yearly salary. Even so, our SGA president takes his salary to task, claiming, "A stu- dent cannot live off of $400 a month Webster, while being the highest-paid SCA official, also says he has to have another job to survive. The SCA executives say that they're being paid about minimum wage, which is probably true, considering all the long hours and dedication they put into their jobs. But compared to officials at other schools, they live like kings. The question is, do we as students feel comfortable with the status quo? Do we think our representatives are paid too much? Too little? ust right? How do we feel about our representatives working at two jobs just to make ends meet? It's up to the administration to vote for their own pay, but an informed student body makes all the difference in the outcome of the vote. Know- ing what we think about the issue will make the SCA more likely to com- ply with our wishes. Next time the question comes up, we need to consider how much we're willing to pay our hard-working representatives. Next time, per- haps we should get the facts before we get upset about a pay-raise. After all, they're only making minimum wage. � LETTER FROM THE Support your campus voice Thank you so much for your continued support of The East Carolinian. Without your input and contin- ued readership, it would be impossible for us to go about the business of reporting campus news. Currently this is a time of great transition for us, and I would like to share with you some of our current struggles and tri- umphs. Firstly, we have been engaged in a progressive rede- sign of the publication throughout this semester in order to make your newspaper more reader-friendly. We have added teasers on the top of the front page highlighting important stories inside the paper, and have provided sidebars of fast facts down the side of each section to allow you to get the information you need quickly. This new focus on user-friendly devices has also led us to revamp our Web site to include discussion boards, comics and a listing of our classified ads. In that vein, we have made an attempt to combine the two medi- ums with the addition of the writers' e-mail addresses at the end of every story or column, an addition which leads to this editor's primary concern�student partici- pation in TEC. I, and the more than 50 staff members that work each week to put out editions of your campus newspa- per would love to see your faces, hear your voices and read your e-mails. It is our goal and our responsibility to give voice to every type of student concern, but it is difficult for us to do this without hearing from the people for which we publish. I urge you to take advantage of the forum that you have right at your fingertips. Please send us your story ideas, letters and pictures. Or, more importantly, we want you on our staff covering the news and issues that are vital to us all. From sports to human interest stories to design positions, there is a job here for every interest and talent. Right now, we are seeking a new editor for our award-winning arts and entertainment magazine, Foun- tainhead. This publication will not appear on the stands for a month as we endeavor to redesign the look and re-evaluate the type of material we include within its covers. If you, or anyone you know, would like to have input on this process, or apply for the editorial posi- tion, please give us a call at 328-6366. Lastly, as many of you may have noticed, several of the latest editions of TEC have been reaching the racks early in the afternoon instead of early in the morning. These editions of the paper have been prepared with no less care and attention than issues in the past. How- ever, we have been faced with several technical print- ing problems that have caused us to deliver the paper to campus later than we would wish. We appreciate your continued patience as we continue to work through these difficulties. Again, please feel free to contact us about any con- cerns or ideas you may have. Remember, we are your campus voice. This writer can be reached at editor@studentmedia.ecu.edu. OPINION COLUMN Deviant political ( behavior influences our vote Marvelle Sullivan OPINION columnist Presidential campaigns and elec- tions never cease to amaze. There is no way to prepare or expect the twists that occur in each stage of the seemingly long and drawn out pro- cess. Oddly enough, voting behav- ior is one of the few variables that possesses a somewhat relative pre- dictability. Electoral patterns based on gender, age, race, religion, etc. are reliable determinants when fore- casting election results, especially on the national level. However, the current presiden- tial race is presenting a true voting behavior puzzle. Clinton's success in the two previous elections is largely due to his overwhelming support from the female electorate. Despite his moral shortcomings that would seemingly dissuade female voters, his political agenda is tailored to promoting women's issues and con- cerns in many aspects through health care plans and other related focuses. Women obviously found Clinton's politics more important than his private escapades. Generally, one would conclude that if a candidate existed that 'would both continue Clinton's strides and could possess some sense of personal and family values, this candidate would be a shoe-in for the female vote.We have that described candidate, but we do not have that strong female support. Al Gore is constantly trailing George W. Bush, Jr. in the polls among women. The Democrats are understandably shocked and amazed that someone with Gore's experience, ideology and (seeming) character is still not locking in the very vote that ushered Clinton in the Oval Office�not once, but twice! It is almost comical that women are preferring Bush, someone whose background is questionable (i.e. al- leged cocaine use and marital infi- delity) and is very gray on women's issues to someone like Gore who champions both family and female values. It's not that the decision is necessarily bad, but rather it is baf- fling, and women are not the only Clinton-supporting voting segment that is leaning away from Gore. The female turn is just a prime example of a large political phenomenon. This brings the puzzle to the underlying questions: Is it really possible that we are now in an age when voters (particularly women) really do favor the candidate that is associated with more human-like or tragic flaws, even if that means straying from traditionally concrete voting behavior? Is the kind of charisma that drives politicians (like Bush, Jr Kennedy and Clinton) to less than socially desirable br.iavior more magnetic and attractive than the steadfastness of such politicians that provide much less excitement and enthusiasm (like Gore, Carter, and Ford)? Or, is it just that our societal norms and expectations are chang- ing and that the political arena is an example of politics imitating life? The answers to these questions can not be determined at this point. To be sure, the 2000 election will provide very interesting insight into the changing nature of the modern political era.

This seems to be a very reoccurring word in the news these days. From pharmaceuticals to web browsers, everyone is buying out who ever is left. While this may seem like no big deal, it is. In the business world you know the bottom line and that is money. It can keep you going and it can break you. When a company be- comes large enough it has access to money that can be used to form a monopoly in the industry. To mo- nopolize, you simply eliminate competitors and lower production cost. In other words, if you sell books, buy out all your competitors, buy paper mills and lumber sup- plies. So what does it have to do with you? The answer to that lies in what happens after a merger. When two companies merger, they usually claim to have a bigger company that can do bigger and better things with its products for the consumers; how- ever, it usually ends up as a bigger hold on the industry, which leads to higher pricing and doing about whatever it wants. Take the recent pharmaceutical merger. You like Advil? One of the companies makes this and if they own a big enough share of the mar- ket, they can eliminate other head- ache remedies. Then what else could you buy? If you can't buy something else you will either pay what they want you to pay or keep the migraine. Now, don't go crazy thinking that Advil will cost you 20 dollars a pop. The company will try to keep its prices down and the good old government will step in if necessary. But, you can look at other industries and see that this ideal balance and check system doesn't always work the way it should. The railroad in- dustry in the 19th century is a great example. Have you heard of Rockefeller? Yes, he was a man that monopolized the rail industry and made millions. Have you heard of Bill Gates? He is currently being ac- cused of a monopoly in the com- puter industry. It is simple to see that many companies sell out every day, and no one is hurt. Some companies buy out others and gain lots of the mar- ket. But, we must stay alert and be- ware of the giant evil "corpses" and what they are planning to do. Most of all, we need to know what can go wrong and make sure that it doesn't happen. So look out for yourself. After all, history can re- peat itself.

The cards were first intro- duced into Europe by Crusaders or by the Roma (Gypsies) between 1095 and 1270 and are known to have been in use in Italy during the early 14th century. Today, increasing numbers of people use tarot cards as a tool for self-exploration and per- sonal growth. Their exact origin is uncertain. FEATURES Tuesday, Nov. 9,194? features@studentmedia.ecu.edo' A full tarot deck consists of 78 cards: the Minor Arcana (56 suit cards) and the Major Arcana, also known as trumps (22 pictorial symbol cards). The Minor Arcana, looking somewhat like a deck of modern playing cards, consist of suits of wands (clubs), cups (hearts), swords (spades) and pen- tacles (diamonds). Each suit contains 14 cards: four court cards (king, queen, knight and page) plus cards numbered from ace to 10. The Major Arcana consist of a fool (also called a madman) card and pictorial cards numbered from one to 21. The Universal Waite Tarot For many decades, The Rider Waite Tarot Deck has been the most popular Tarot deck sold. Now in this new publication of that Tarot artist, Mary Hanson-Roberts recolors the originals in softer colors that are easier on the eye and therefore more conducive to meditation. The Robin Wood Tarot Deck The illustrations are lifelike and friendly. Unlike other decks that portray emotionless figures, Robin Woods' characters wear expressions of wis- dom, approval, joy, concern, fear and contempla- tion, making this one of the easiest decks to read. The Renaissance Tarot Deck A full-color, 78-card deck rendered in golden hues and delicate pastel shading. The 22 Major Arcana cards feature all 12 deities of Olympus, plus other classical gods and demigods. The four suits in the 56 Minor Arcana are represented by four classical myth cycles with an interlocking system of planets, constellations, seasons and elements. The Sacred Circle Tarot The Sacred Circle Tarot is a new concept in tarot design, combining photographs, computer imaging and traditional drawing techniques to create stun- ning images. It draws on the sacred Pagan heri- tage sites of Britain and Ireland and their land- scapes. Key symbols unlock the deepest levels of Pagan teaching. The Old English Tarot This deck is set against a tapestry of medieval En- gland. The Major Arcana features traditional scenes and figures while the Minor Arcana is a vi- sual journey into an era that spans the imagina- tion. 10 The Druid Animal Oracle The 33 animals in the deck, brilliantly illustrated by Bill Worthington, represent specific powers and ar- eas of knowledge to connect us with ancient Celtic earth-based spirituality.

Dry ASSISTANT FEATURES EDITOR It seems as if hair styles change as fast as a New York minute. It can be difficult on the pockets (and on one's hair) to keep up with all the new 'dos and colors. And wouldn't it be nice to change the length of your hair without a pair of scissors touching one strand of it? Well, all of this and more is possible with the won- derful world of hair extensions. Hair extensions have been growing in popularity among many women. Even in Hollywood, many ce- lebrities such as Jennifer Lopez, Brittany Spears and Toni Braxton have accentuated their own locks with exten- sions. According to Gregg Gilchrist, owner of Gregg's Total Care Salon, in his four years in business, he sees hair extensions as a growing field and has seen an in- crease of its use in the area. Also the purpose of why women use them has changed over the years. "Previously, extensions and weaves were used to cover damaged and weak areas in the hair Gilchrist said. "Now instead of changing the color, length or the style of one's hair, one can use the extensions. It's a way to get the desired style without changing the tex- ture of one's hair. Women can either go to a salon and have a hair technician put weaves in for them or purchase the hair at a beauty supply shop and put it in themselves. The hair comes in a variety of lengths, colors and textures. According to Samantha Edmondson, employee at Sally's Beauty Supply, the two types they sell are syn- thetic and human hair extensions. "Most of the time we sell synthetic hair, but a lot of women buy human hair because of its texture Edmondson said. "It's softer and finer than synthetic hair Also the cost of hair extensions vary depending on the length and type one purchases. "Hair prices range from as cheap as $.79 to $20 per package Edmondson said. Fear immobilizes; INVIGORATES PEOPLE Control necessary for onquering situations Susan Wright Features Editor Your throat is dry, your hands are clammy and you have to give a speech in 30 seconds. If this sounds familiar, you may suffer from a fear of public speaking. Fear, in one form or another, affects almost everyone, and it can usually be overcome by gaining control. According to Dr. Susan McCammon, a psychology pro- fessor, some of the most com- mon fears are of public speak- ing, flying, enclosed spaces and heights. The type of fear an individual has is partially dependent on his or her age. After the age of two, one can develop a fear of the dark that may last a short time. Occasionally, this fear can persist until adulthood. In early adoles- cence, people tend to fear tests and examinations. This fear is also prevalent in college-age stu- Sex is another determinant in the prevalence of certain fears. Women are more likely to have environmental fears, such as a fear of big animals, spiders and snakes. The fear of heights, how- ever, is pretty equally distributed throughout both of the sexes. A phobia, however, is a subcat- egory of fear with a few subtle differences. "A fear becomes a phobia when it is out of proportion to the situ- ation, it cannot be reasoned away and it causes the person to avoid the feared thing McCammon said. About ten percent of the popu- lation has a diagnosable phobia of something, whether it be claustrophobia or arachnopho- bia. These phobias do not just appear in a person's head; they are usually thought out uncon- sciously by the person who expe- riences them. "A phobia is created over time said Dr. Beverly Harju, associate professor in the psychology department. Harju gave an example of a woman who had a fear of flying and couldn't understand why. The woman would become sick within minutes of boarding a plane and soon began fearing her and her husband would die on a plane. The woman did not want to leave her child without parents because this was what had happened to her when she was a child. After realizing the reason behind her fear of planes, she began taking control of the situation, and her fear of-flying began to dissipate. Control is a vital component of fear control. "When a person is afraid, they are often lacking self-confi- dence Harju said. "They feel unable to control the situation. They must focus on the choices that they do have: 'How am I going to manage the situation? A person who has a fear or pho- bia of something should face their fear. "If you're afraid of something and you avoid it, your fear won't extinguish because you'll never have the opportunity to see that the bad consequences aren't true McCammon said. According to McCammon, avoidance of the feared object can intensify the fear at the same time that it can cure it. It is a tricky situation to get rid of a fear or phobia, but in most cases, it is possible. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which is caused by a traumatic experience, causes the person to act in much the same way they would if they were experiencing a reaction to a fear or a phobia. "Some of the symptoms of PTSD are recurring nightmares, intrusive images and the feeling like it is happening all over again said Dr. jWie Ross, staff psychologist. "PTSD is caused by external or internal cues and it can affect appetite, sleeping habits and concentration According to Dr. Ross, the sever- ity of the event determines the level and severity of post-trau- matic stress symptoms. A situa- tion such as the flooding that occurred recently would usually cause post-traumatic stress, but there have not been many docu- mented cases at ECU. "Not very many people are coming in with PTSD because of the flood Ross said. "The soon- er you talk about and deal with something, it becomes less and less likely that there will be peo- ple suffering from PTSD because of the event Fear, phobias and PTSD are both physiological and psycho- logical occurrences. People suffer from all three stressors, and con- trol is the best way to pacify each of them. A psychologist can help people realize and overcome their fears. One must take con- trol and acknowledge the cause in order to keep from living his or her life in fear. Wigs cover the whole head while hair extensions and traditional weave add to the length of one's own hair. (Photo by Emily Richardson) There are many reasons why women have chosen to go with hair extensions. Some women want to try different styles now and again without putting a lot of stressful hair products like colorants, bleaches and perms in their own hair.

As a hospitality management major, a student learns how to survive managing res- taurants and lodging facilities successfully. According to Dori Finley, professor and chairper- son of Hospitality Management, the program prepares students for positions in restaurants and lodging facili- ties. "The students usually start out In assistant man- ager positions and move up Finley said. The program has been at ECU for 12 years and has been growing continually. According to Jim Chandler, an assistant professor in hospitality management, there are over 200 students in the program. It is the largest program in North Caro- lina and the third largest in the Southeast. "I would recommend this career to anyone who enjoys a variety of activities and working with other people Chandler said. "It is very challenging, very rewarding and can make lots of money Alex Cheek is an officer In the Hospitality Manage- ment Association (HMA) and has been working as a front desk clerk at the Hilton since January 1998. Cheek loves the program because it gives students like him- self a chance to . "I like helping people, and the field has a lot of opportunities and the flexibility to move around he said. "Every semester is a new thing Cheek loves the diversity of the classes in the pro- gram and being able to be involved in the community. Several of the classes allow students to give back to the community. For example, one class is based around students preparing and serving a meal to 40-50 people. The students must come up with the menu, theme and budget. Another class brings in executives from different businesses to speak about their fields and set up inter- views for the students. One class also allows students to examine and propose ways to better their commu- nity. Students in the program are now examining more family-oriented restaurants in Greenville while one particular class allows students to examine a hotel and analyze what makes it work. "When you see what all goes into running a hotel, you really have an appreciation for what the hourly employees do every day Cheek said. Cheek also complemented the hospitality manage- ment faculty, adding that the staff are always ready to help. "Coming to work and knowing that you are going to make a difference is so rewarding Cheek said. Hospitality management is a field that is expand- ing quickly every day.

They are more concerned with the health of their hair Gilchrist said. "People are becoming more health conscious about their hair According to Edmondson, some women may want to style their hair like their friend's, but just don't have the right cut or length to do so. Others simply may not have the patience to let their natural hair grow. "Some women's hair may not grjpw as quickly, so getting an extension is the easiest way to get the de- sired style Edmondson said. There are different ways to have a hair extension placed in with one's own hair: it can be bonded or sewn in. According to Gilchrist, to have the hair bonded, there is a special type of hair glue that at- taches the hair tracks to the root of one's hair. With the other option, sewing it in, the stylist braids your natural hair and then the extension is sewn or stitched into the braid. This process takes about an hour and a half. Of the above methods, Gilchrist suggests having ex- tensions sewn in. "It's more expensive, but it's safer Gilchrist said. "The glue can cause a chemical reaction with one's natural hair oils Another option for hair elongation which is becom- ing more popular is wig extensions. According to Gilchrist, the stylist formats a net to one's head and weaves the hair into the net. "We have a technician in our salon who does this Gilchrist said. According to Gilchrist, women should maintain their extensions every four to five weeks and there is no set time period of how long you can keep the ex- tensions in. "The length of time you keep them in depends on how well they are maintained Gilchrist said.

In a twenty( minute span, the Blazers rattled off 33 unanswered points, shut down the Pirate offense and secured the first win over a ranked team in the school's history, beating the 17th ranked Pirates 36-17 in Birmingham. "We thought that we had everything under con- trol at halftime said Head Coach, Steve Logan. "Then in the second half, it was one thing after another, which was a lot to their credit UAB's Rodregis Brooks left the game in the second quarter with a neck injury. He was carried off the field on a stretcher and was taken to the hospital for x-rays. "A guy (ECU's Keith Stokes) caught the ball out in the flat and I came up to make the tackle and when I hit the guy, one of our defenders came up from the back and hit the front of my helmet Brooks said. "The left side, my arm and neck went numb. It was kind of scary. At first it did not bother me, then the pain started shooting down my left arm and body Brooks returned in the third quarter to put the hurt on the Pirates with a 59-yard punt return that set up a touchdown and a 91-yard interception return for a touchdown in the fourth quarter. "He has been getting it done all year long said UAB Head Coach, Watson Brown. "He is leading the country in punt returns, and I don't know if he is lead- ing the country in interceptions, but he is a play maker. He could play for anybody in the country After an injury to starter Daniel Dixon, UAB was forced to start redshirt freshman, Thomas Cox at quar- terback. "Thomas knew Wednesday afternoon that it was very likely that he was going to be the starter today Brown said. Daniel (Dixon) stepped on a shoe in prac- tice Wednesday and went down hard and has not prac- ticed a snap since Cox went 10-20 for 122 yards and a touchdown. He also rushed for two scores. "The young man had great poise and I only remem- ber one bad play when he fumbled in the first half. He played great in the whole game Brown said. The win was UAB's first win over a ranked team in the school's short football history. "It's just another step. Every time we do something it is a first Brown said. "I told them before the game thatrfhey have to understand that as that ticker goes across the screen on Headline News and ESPN or wher- ever our score is all over the country all day long so I think that people around the country will know that UAB plays football now Brooks said. For the Pirates it was their second conference loss and effectively knocked them out of the C-USA cham- pionship hunt. "We have some work to do Logan said. "We have to watch some film and prepare for next week This writer can be contacted at sports@studentmedia.ecu.edu. 1 Pirate players return in top form Stephen Schramm SPORTS EDITOR The 1999-2000 men's basketball season effectively began in March with the announcement that after four seasons at the helm of the Pi- rates, Joe Dooley would be stepping down as head coach. On March 31, Bill Herrion was named the new head basketball coach. Herrion comes to ECU after eight seasons at Drexel University in Philadelphia. Herrion compiled a record of 167r71 as coach of the dragons. His winning percentage of .702 puts him 15th among active coaches. The change at the top cre- ated much excitement among fans. The team will not experience much change on the court from the team that went 13-14 last year. Among those coming back is 6- 9 power forward and 2000 CAA "Player of the Year candidate Evaldas Joeys. The Lithuanian led the Pirates in scoring last season, averaging 13.8 points per game and 6.2 re- bounds. Also returning is guard Garrett Black welder. Blackwelder started all 22 games and was second on the team in scoring with 11.8 points per game. Junior David Taylor, senior Neil Punt and sophomore Brandon Hawkins give the Pirates experience. Seven-footers Quincy Hall and Alphons van.Ireland will provide height in the post. All of the returning talent should make for many position battles. "I think there's all five position battles Herrion said. "That's how we build our program, and that's Pirates look to rebound in while Evaldas Jocys(left)was the Pirates leading scorer last season, GarrettBlackwelder started all 22 games(file photo). and go to the NCAA tournament how we approach practice, every day. I've never been a big guy on starting linueps. Obviously you've got to start five players every game. But we really base our team on practice and the program on com- petition every day at every posi- tion. Right now we've got some great competition at all five spots Herrion said. � Despite the returning scorers, the most noticeable changes will not come on offense. "We will play harder defense Joeys said. With the Pirates returning their top seven scorers, they are consid- ered among the contenders for the league crown. "Our ultimate goal is to win the league championship in March Swimmers rally past 0DU;W&M Herrion said. The Pirates will face a tough CAA schedule. "It's a pretty strong conference, George Mason, Old Dominion and Wilmington are going to be tough to beat Blackwelder said. "Pretty much every team is going to be tough to beat The Pirates will take the floor tonight in their first exhibition game. "We've been practicing now for about three weeks Herrion said. "I think we're getting a little bit sick and tired of banging against each other. So I'm really anxious for Tues- day night, out first exhibition game Herrion said.

The women's team had a strong victory over Old Do- minion this past Saturday. The women took control early in the meet and never let up cruising to a 152-85 victory that was more of a rout than the score might make it seem. "We did very well and worked hard as a team, we worked hard until the last relay even though we had already won said Erin Brauer. Saturday's victory was the women's fourth of the year and sec- ond in the conference which sets up a chance at 5-0 for Sunday's meet against William and Mary. The men lost Saturday to an Old Dominion team�picked to finish first in the conference this year�in an exciting match that came down to the very last relay. The Pirates led early on in the meet but were un- able to hold on at the end when ODU started their final push. The men's team was not discour- aged after the loss which was a much closer meet this year than last year. "I think we swam really well said Mathew Jabs. "Last year they came in and beat us bad but this year we took them to the final race, some teams are stronger in their first halves we did what we wanted when we knocked them back early Sunday was a great day for both the women's and men's teams. The women picked up their second, vic- tory on the weekend knocking off William and Mary 135-110. It was another display of athletic excel- lence by the women's team in front of a packed house at Minges Aquatic Center. "The Girls continue to be awe- some said Kobe. "They won for the fifth time this year it was a great win The men added another win Sunday, avenging a bad loss to Wil- liam and Mary last year defeating them 144-99.

Volleyball falls to James Madison Pirates lose to Dukes in three straight games Emily Koperniak z STAFF WRITER The ECU women's volleyball team lost a difficult match to James Madison University Friday here at Minges. The Pirates lost three straight games (15-8,15- 10,15-1) to the Dukes. This CAA game puts the Pirates at 8-13 for the season and 3-6 for league play. "I think the first couple of games we played real good but the third game was like a whole totally differ- ent team. I saw some good stuff in the first couple of games that made me think we were going to win, or win the best out of five said Lucinda Mason. 'The third game it was like nobody had any fire, any mo- mentum, no determination or anything. I think we need to work on defense, blocking, and serving Mason as well as Shannon Kaess each added seven digs. Throughout the first game, East Carolina managed to keep within a two-point difference. James Madison pulled ahead late and claimed the first victory of the night. JMUoutshot ECU. James Madison did not seem to come on as-slrong throughout the second match as their hitting percent- age decreased. This advantage did not help ECU as.their percentage fell into a negative value as well. "We came on strong the first two games andin the third game we beat ourselves. No one was talking, no one was playing defense the way they were supposed to, and no one has hitting the ball said Cinta Claro. "After that second game we just lost everythirtg that we came into the whole match with Claro subbed as setter for Lisa Donovan who was injured. She contributed twelve assists, four digs, and five kills'for the night. The third game brought the Pirates down. The Dukes scored ten points before ECU was even able .to score. James Madison University outshot the .Pirates throughout the entire match. "I think we need to work on talking, defensebaii- cally everything. We all just need to decide whetKer we want to finish this season strong or whether we just want to give up and quit Claro said.

Here come the goodies! Stuffing and gravies and puddings and pies, candies and cookies stacked miles and miles high! Halloween seems to start-off the holiday food madness. Then comes Thanksgiving with its hard-held traditions: family gatherings, football on t.v plenty of hearty, home-cooked food and the after-dinner dash for the couch. It's not just the turkey that ends up being stuffed! By Christmas, "ho, ho, ho" can quickly urn into "oh no, oh no, oh no, I can't fit into my clothes !&mericans average a 4-6 pound weight gain over the holidays. Good news - you can fight the battle of the holiday bulge if you take precautions. To stuff thy turkey without stuffing thy- self at your holiday gatherings, take the following tips into consideration. 1. First and foremost be selective. Remember, it's the first bite -that counts. After the fifth cookie or second piece of pie, they all taste the same. So, take a sample rather than pigging out, while savoring flavor and the company. 2. Decide ahead of time what and how much you will eat and drink. Then stick to your plan � even if you deviate a little from your original eating goals, at least you didn't go in with an attitude of feeling you have a license to overeat simply because it is the holiday season. 3. Limit alcohol. Even one beer or wine spritzer can break down your defenses and lead you to overeating. If you want to drink, dilute your cocktails or alternate one alcoholic beverage with two non-alcoholic beverages. And go easy on the eggnog! 4. Be polite, not nice. Rehearse ahead of time how you gracefully will say "no" to offers of homemade foods you really don't want. 5. Do not skip meals. Omitting breakfast or other meals will lead to overrating at the party or Thanksgiving meal. Enjoy a light and nutrient-dense breakfast and lunch. Don't go to any holiday event on an empty stomach. 6. EXERCISE! EXERCISE! EXERCISE! The holiday season often leaves us feeling tired, ragged and run-down. At a time like this many people feel they have no time for exercise. Regardless, this is the most crucial time period to start or increase your current exercise rou- tine. Make a commitment before Jan. 1st comes around! Make the commitment to get up before class to walk, run, bike, row or ski at least 30 minutes 4-5 days per week. Add some weight training 2-3 times per week. You'll be amazed how well you'll handle the pressures the holiday season sends your way, not to mention what it will do for your waistline. Do yourself a favor and take a 45-minute walk before your Thanksgiving meal. You'll feel refreshed and energized before those activities begin, increase your metabolism and put a curb on your appetite so you don't gobble, gobble, gobble!

Kickboxing In light of the global popularity of kickboxing, many forms of the sport have taken to the exercise studio creating excitement, confusion, and even controversy. How do you choose a kickboxing class, instructor, or video that is effective and safe for everyone? Videos, while great for home use, fall short of providing individual pacing and feedback specific to your form and technique. This information is paramount in decreasing your injury risk. In addition, videos cannot prescribe appropriate pacing or provide an ongo- ing source of motivation to keep you coming back for more. When seeking a live kick- boxing fitness class, make sure you look for instructors that are trained to teach exercise to general population adults. Kickboxing, while great fun, is a sport requiring specific skills and athleticism. The instructor should be well versed in modifying the move- ments for those of us who are not trained in the sport of kickboxing. Music speed, repetition, body posi- tions and kick height are just a few of the things that need to be suited to the individual. Seek out instruc- tors that are certified exercise leaders with training and experience in fitness kickboxing techniques. Organizations such as the Aerobics Fitness Association of America or the American Council on Exercise now offer practical and written exams for instructors in fitness and kickboxing. ECU Recreational Services can take out some of the guesswork with the extremely popular Cardio-Boxx workout. This class features one hour of effective punching, kicking, and sport drills designed to improve cardio-vascular health, muscle strength, and body composition. Each class is taught by instructors prepared to evaluate your technique thereby reducing injury risk while ensuring great results. All of the movements employed are suited to the general popu- lation, as well as modified for fitness versus sport. Fitness Kickboxing is fun, effective, easy to follow and is earning its place in the fitness arena. Just remember that the workouts are for health, fun and vitality, serving in no capacity as self-defense or mar- tial arts training. www.tec.
