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,

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

eration. Throughout the
week students can commence
their scheduling process on
their designated day at 6 a.m

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

After four years of school, a
number of students are making
decision to go back to school.
The Second Annual Graduate

Cost of treatment
estimated at $20,000

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.

Family of three in critical
condition after apparent
murder-suicide
ANAHEIM, Calif. (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.

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-

The severity of the violence does
seem to be increasing. We're see-

Penny's third-grade school pic-

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.

Wendy says she would leave Penny

from her own parents, Wendy said.

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.

Family of three in critical
condition after apparent
murder-suicide
ANAHEIM, Calif. (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.

Government looks
at Microsoft remedies
WASHINGTON (AP)?The
nation's top antitrust official
says the government is "look-

to punish Microsoft following
a judge's ruling that the soft-
ware giant misused its mo-
nopoly powers.
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-

In an open letter, Microsoft
Chairman Bill Gates said the
company is committed to "a
fair and responsible" resolu-
tion. The company's chief op-
erating officer, Bob Herbold,
said on the Sunday talk shows
that "there's nothing we'd like
more than to settle this case
Assistant Attorney General
Joel Klein, who also appeared
on three television programs,
said, "Obviously settlement is
always an option
Neither Klein nor Herbold
would suggest what an agree-

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
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-

OPINION COLUMN
Take control over TV's adverse effects
Christie Marra
OPINION COLUMNIST
Here's an idea from my little corner of the world to
yours: action?don't talk about it, be about it. 1 got
that from a skateboard company, and it makes perfect
sense in response to Kenton Bell's article about the
media. 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?

Daily stressors take toll on writer
Ryan Kennemur
? opinion column1-
Hello my friends! 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. A lot of things
ire going on these days in my life.
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.

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.

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.

OPINION COLUMN
Beware of corporate monopolies
Jeff Buck
OPINION COLUMNIST
Merger. 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.

Mystic's Favorite: Tarot Cards
Tarot is the name given to a deck of cards mainly
used for fortunetelling. 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.

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.

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.

Weaves save damaged
tresses from additional distress
Keep style trends, avoid split ends
:
Nina M. 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.

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

INTERESTING MAJOR HOSPITALITY MANAGEMENT
People-oriented careers
offer changing opportunities
Jennifer Brown
STAFF WRITER
At ECU, students are learning how to deal with
people and cater to their many needs in the hosptiality
management program. 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.

He caused lots of turmoil, destruc-
tion, and fear, he left with one hell
of a rebuilding year.

"Unreplaceable"
Jacqueline Brimley
When we first heard of Floyd, we
hoped he would come.
The only reason for this was to
sleep-in some.
The day after the storm we woke up
to see
That the city had gone through a
catastrophe.
A glance through the window
showed a few broken trees.
I still wonder why we felt so at ease.
Little did we know the hurricane
would give
My best friend's belongings to the
river where she used to live.
Her life-long possessions weren't the
only things gone.
Eliza, her kitty, was found dead on
her neighbor's lawn.
Her life and her hopes taken away,
And now she doesn't even have a
place to stay.
With no job and no money and in
debt to a school loan,
The only way out was to withdraw
from school and go home.

"People are definitely getting away from chemi-
cal styling. 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.

Pirates burned by Blazers
Brooks leads UAB

SPORTS EDITOR
Late in the first half, down 17-3 with their best
player en route to the hospital, UAB looked to be down
for the count. 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

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-

Joeys. The Lithuanian led the Pirates
in scoring last season, averaging
13.8 points per game and 6.2 re-

22 games and was second on the
team in scoring with 11.8 points per

Pirate women win
two, men lose one
Ryan Downey
STAFF WRITER
The men's and women's swim
teams had two outstanding meets
this weekend. 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

The men added another win
Sunday, avenging a bad loss to Wil-
liam and Mary last year defeating

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. "I think some-

Kick Weight Gain
Can you believe another holiday season is upon us? 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!
"Kick Butt
Great American
Smokeout, ECU
Style
O.KIt's time! Let's not wait for a New Year's Resolution or some other excuse to pack away
our Puffs. Thursday, November 18th marks the date for the annual American Cancer
Society, Great American Smokeout! ECU Division of Student Life will be tying into this
event in an effort to reduce the amount of smoking that takes place here at good 'ol ECU.
Head to the Union (Mendenhall that is) on Thursday the 18th for a FREE DINNER and
giveaways (around 5:00) To be eligible all you have to do is fuel our Bon Fire with some
type of tobacco product or accessory (cigarette, cigar, dip, lighter, ashtray, etc.). While you
eat and gather all of your giveaway goodies, you'll also receive information on HOW TO
QUIT No, we don't expect for you to stop on the spot that day, but you will receive infor-
mation on Smoking Cessation Programs, scheduled to begin early in the millennium
You don't have to be a smoker to get involved with this event. Bring your smoker fricnds-
and tell them to "Get Your Butt Out of My Face" (cigarette butt that is), and come enjoy all
of the FREE FOOD and FUN For more information you can contact Health Promotion at
328-6793, Student Health at 328-6794 or Center for Counseling and Student Development at
328-6661.
As campus life runs along each day, photographers
will be out and about to capture us, the students, at
our best. If you can identify yourself in any of our
pictures, present yourself to MSC 109 to the staff
there. Rewards will be on hand for your efforts, so
keep a close eye on those pictures.
Kick In
Trade Your Ideas For Food and Eat For FREE!
We want your ideas and opinions about how to improve campus restaurants, meal plans,
and menus. Join others at monthly Student Food Advisory Counsil meetings to offer
comments, suggestions, and compliments about your dining experiences at ECU.
Meeting attendees enjoy a scrumptious free catered meal prior to the SFAC meeting
and have the opportunity to meet and socialize with the entire dining service manage-
ment team. To make a reservation for our November 10th meeting call 328-2337.
Unable to attend? We're still eager to hear from you. Feel free to complete an Edible
Suggestion card at anytime and drop it in our collection boxes located at any of our .
seven campus restaurants.
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.
