The Cashier's Office will be mov- ing to the backside of the Old Cafeteria Complex, where Uni- versity Printing once was. The office will reopen on Monday, Dec. 6, and will resume normal business hours. All fax and phone numbers will remain unchanged.

(photo by Emily Richardson) Services Building on Second and Reade Street will serve as the contact person. All other busi- ness for the Cashier's Office will be handled on Dec. 6. The move is being done in order to provide a centralized lo- cation for financial services. Ac- cording to Dan Bishop, comp- troller, the new office space "pro- vides much more room, so stu- dents can wait Inside during in- clement weather The Cashier's Office is the last nonadmlnistrative office to move from the Splllman Build- ing. Spillman already contains the chancellor's and vice chancellor's offices. "This move has been looked at for the last fifteen years said Michael Balko, Jr cashier. According to Balko, the move was delayed due to problems relocating of the vault. The timing of the move was planned so it would hit during a time when traffic is normally slow. The Cashier's Office handles affairs such as payment for tu- ition and fees, and all other fees. Also, It gives interdepartmental receipts. "The Cashier's Office is a central point of collection of all monies collected by ECU said Dan Bishop, comptroller. ECU is in the process of mov- ing all non-essential offices off campus. The campus encom- passes 40 acres, which, according to Balko, is not much. "ECU is trying to best allocate our facilities to the maximum Balko said.

Belk, Tyler residents frustrated by phone difficulties Problems vary from room to room Terra Steinbeiser ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR For the past three weeks, many residents of Belk and Tyler residence halls have been experiencing flickering phone service. "Sometimes we'll pick up the phone and we won't hear anything, not even a dial tone said Carol Smith of Belk Hall. "Other times people will call us and we won't hear the phone Sophomore Lauren Cofoert (right) and freshman Crystal Driessen (left) relax outside of Tyler Hall, the site of several phone problems, (photo by Emily Richardson.) ring but we'll get a voice mail message The problem seems to be inconsistent in every way, sometimes affecting whole floors and suites while other times only one room experi- ences difficulties.

When it goes out, nobody's phone works on the whole floor. It is really frus- trating Other residents in the same See University Housing Services, along with the Daily Reflector, hopes to bring the news closer to students. The program, which is now in its testing stage, provides students at various residence halls access to two newspapers, the Daily Reflector and USA Today. This program originated at Pennsylvania State University after studies revealed that students still value news print over all other forms of informa- tive sources, including the Internet and television. "It is a lot more convenient said Sharon Evans, student. "You can read a paper when you .have downtime betweeeWclasses and When yon don't have access to a news network The papers can be picked up at Belk, Tyler, Gar- ret and Fletcher. These four residence halls were specially selected; they determine an accurate cross section of students from different sexes and class ranks. In its second week running this program, the Dairy Reflector has tabulated a daily usage rate of approximately 50 percent. Brandy Hatchett, student, was surprised when she discovered the program. "One day the papers were just there Hatchett said. "It was a nice surprise being able to get such an asset free of charge The pilot period is expected to last until Janu- ary. At that time a decision will be made to either bring the project to Its full scale or to terminate it. Currently the papers are compliments of both the Daily Reflector and USA Today. However, If the pro- gram is successful, the university will take on the costs at a reduced rate. "It's a great program for college students said Asa Doolittle, freshman. "Often there is this mis- conception that we're uninterested in the news, but it's not true "To be honest, I never cared about actually read- ing the paper before said sophomore Lisa Dozier, "but now I like the fact that it's right there, and I really do look at it more than I ever did before Barbara Kuetemeyer, circulation sales manager for the Daily Reflector, said that their paper encour- ages students to get Involved and correspond with their office. They want to hear student feedback. For example, the paper is delivered on the campus five days a week, but if students would like to have; weekend issues, the paper would comply. "This program is exceptional for university students because it gives them access not only world concerns, but also community Issues that page2 . a The East Carolinian www.tec.ecu.edu Thursday, Nov. 18,1999 news@studentmedia.ecu.edu Voters rewarded with prizes Are you interested in a job that offers real life experience instead of busy work?

ECU and the United Way held workshops for the "Phase II ECU Family Relief Fund" which distrib- utes funds donated by ECU families and surrounding communities. Student flood victims hope to receive grant money in order to get on with their lives. "Everything is gone said Yolanda Thigpen, senior. "I lived with my grandmother in Princeville the whole town was literally washed out. I'm now staying with a relative in Tarboro, and commuting is taking a toll on me. I'm hoping for a miracle a blessing is needed. I don't expect ECU and United Way will be able to replace everything, but I don't expect them to give me only $200 either "1 lost everything except my clothes said junior David Paulson. "My home at 800 Willow Street is gone, but I am surviving the best I can. I'm hoping for any amount of money I can get from the grants Students are not the only ones in need, though. "I lost everything in the flood said housekeeper Doris Moye. "The application isn't too easy, but once it's filled out it will be very helpful. I lived on Old River Road now my two kids and I live In a one bed- room apartment. It's hard but we are managing. FEMA helped me a little. I hope ECU and United Way will be able to grant me enough to help me buy a new trailer According to Rose Mary Stelma, director of Financial Aid, grants will be distributed based on need in amounts up $2,000. Applications are available in the Office of Finan- cial Aid in the Old Cafeteria Com- plex and the SGA Office in Mendenhall Student Center. The deadline for applications is tomor- row. Associate Dean of Student Life Laura Sweet worked with students as they entered the workshops and helped them fill out their applica- tions. "These workshops are wonder- ful Sweet said. "Students are able to ask questions, apply for grants and get needed documents copied. It is going well. Students are com- ing in prepared, and those that need documents photocopied I am send- ing to my office at 201 Whichard Tonya Sanders, an employee of United Way, worked with university staff who were applying for grants and went over unfinished applica- tions. "A lot of staff has already filled out applications Sanders said. "Many just needed to bring by ex- tra verification.

"I came prepared said senior Jesse McGill. "The application pro- cess was pretty easy. I didn't have to wait in line, and the process took about ten minutes. I recommend students check out the flood update web site to know what they need to complete the application "The application process is not easy Thigpen said.

"We haven't really had a prob- lem, but I know that a lot of other people have had a really hard time with their phones lately said Brook Crews of Belk. Despite experiencing problems, few students have reported the problem.

WASHINGTON (AP) � A relief co-pilot alone in the EgyptAir cockpit said "I made my decision now; I put my faith in God's hands" just before the jetliner began its fatal plunge, officials close to the investigation said Wednesday. Moments after the plane began to dive, the pilot returned to struggle � fu- tilely � to pull out. As Egyptian officials won time to send their own experts to review the cockpit voice recorder tape, a federal law enforcement offi- cial and other sources close to the investiga- tion described the evidence on Wednesday that led the United States to the verge of put- ting the FBI in charge of the inquiry as a po- tential criminal matter. The current theory of the fate of EgyptAir 990, the Boeing 767 that plunged into the Atlantic Ocean off Massachusetts killing 217 people, is both tentative and incomplete, the law enforcement official stressed. Further elec- tronic enhancement of the tape recording and input from the Egyptian experts could alter the sketchy understanding of what went on. With no sign of any mechanical malfunc- tion or explosion, investigators have been drawn to actions of the crew as captured on the cockpit voice recorder and synchronized with the plane's movements preserved in the flight data recorder. The law enforcement official, comment- ing only on condition of anonymity, and other sources close to the case gave this ac- count what those recorders show: Relief co-pilot Capt. Gameel el-Batouty, scheduled to take over much later in the 11- hour New York-to-Cairo flight, enters the cockpit and asks to fly. His request is accepted. The cockpit door is opened later, after which there is no conversation, leading in- vestigators to conclude el-Batouty is alone. He says in Arabic: "I made my decision now. I put my faith in God's hands Shortly thereafter, the autopilot is turned off and the jet begins to descend steeply from 33,000 feet. The cockpit door opens again. Investiga- tors believe the pilot, Capt. Ahmed Mahmoud el-Habashy, has returned because he is heard to ask what's going on. They be- lieve he tries to regain control because he is heard to say, "PuH with me. Help me. Pull with me There is no sound of struggle, but some investigators believe that phrase is said in an argumentative tone. At about this time, there is an unusual split in the plane's elevators: One moves up and the other down. These flaps on either side of the tail usually move up or down in unison to lower or raise the plane's nose. Boeing has told investigators crew mem- bers must apply SO pounds of pressure in opposite directions on the pilot's and co- pilot's control yokes to achieve this split out- come. Investigators surmise this may be evi- dence of a struggle between two crew mem- bers over how to respond to the steep dive. Shortly thereafter the jet's two engines are shut off. The plane regains some altitude, stalls and drops into the sea. In Egypt, relatives angrily rejected any notion el-Batouty planned to commit suicide, described him as a loving father of five and denied the family had financial problems. Family members said el-Batouty had just bought two automobile tires in the United States for his son's car and they believed the tires were on Flight 990. it SILVER II BULLET VOllS Doors Open: 7:30 p.m. 5.

OURVIEW OPINION COLUMN �� Take a stand; reduce racism Na'im Akbar OPINION WRITER I grew up in a time when racism and discrimination seemed to be the natural order. I remember traveling on the Trailway busses when I was a boy of 8 or 9 years old. If I wanted something to eat, I had to go to the back of the station and order my food from a small window. I had to eat the food as best I couid. You see, I could not eat inside the bus station which had chairs and tables and a counter where people ordered their food and ate in a relaxing atmosphere. I could not sit and eat because the tables, chairs and counter were on the Whites Only side of the station and coloreds were not allowed to ven- ture into that domain. Racism was alive and well, and was the order of the day. I write this today because those harsh memories of man's inhuman- ity to man are recycled when I ob- served a table in Wright Plaza seek- ing information from those who had witnessed or been a victim of dis- crimination in some of the down- town clubs. I had heard of discriminatory practices such as requiring a nonex- istent membership for African- Americans or a "pants too baggy" excuse for denying entrance to Af- rican-Americans. I had heard that African-American students visiting the clubs with their white "friends" were often turned away because of these discriminatory practices while their white friends were al- lowed to enter. I would first ques- tion why a "friend" would leave me on the outside of a club that had denied me entrance instead of making a statement against dis- crimination by not patronizing such an establishment. There are many other issues that can be addressed in this regard but I choose to leave that with others. My purpose for writing on this subject is to bring an awareness to the situa- tion that it might empower students to change a condition that should not exist in 1999. As we approach the new millennium. I would be re- miss in my duty and responsibility to young students if I allowed this situation to continue unchanged. I am not into the club partying scene. I would be quite satisfied if all young students would party less and study more. That, of course is an old guys opinion. Although, I feel this way, I will defend anyone's right to patronize any place that is opened to the public without suf- fering a public humiliation of dis- crimination. As members of the ECU family, we can make a strong statement against this kind of discrimination and insensitivity. We need to come together, as students, to address this issue because injustice anywhere is a potential for injustice everywhere. One of my oft-repeated state- ments is, "As students, we are the most important people here A message needs to be sent out that will let those who discriminate know that if one of the members of the ECU family is hurt, every mem- ber feels that pain. We are about heal- ing, not hurting. Take a stand, you may be next. This writer can be contacted at nakbar@studentmedia.ecu.edu. OPINION COLUMN Remembering beginnings of NCSU-ECU rivalry about who was present at the worst drubbings ever imparted upon the beloved Pirates. Jeff Blake, the only speck of talent to grace ECU'S football team since Cro-Magnun man died off, and Bill Lewis, the only ECU coach who could plot strat- egy above the little-league level, moved on to greener pastures after ECU reached the pinnacle of its less than blinding brilliance in its 37-34 victory over the Wolfpack in the 1992 Peach Bowl. As won- derful as they were, these figures are in ECU'S past. But what is ECU'S present? To be blunt, ECU sucks swamp water. They're so bad, it took the threat of legislative action for them to get real teams to even consider taking them on. ECU used to be just a big waste of perfectly good tax money for some down East politicians and a cheap institution for higher "learning" where dull- ards are toting Cannabis instead of taking classes. Now it'll be a waste of a perfectly good Saturday afternoon. The whole concept of East Carolina is a joke� a ship of fools could make short work of this peanut gallery. But there is a bright spot to all of this� mashing the purple and gold till they're black and blue will be most amusing. True, beating Appalachian State would be more of a challenge, but the sense of ac- complishment from ruining the day for thousands of rowdy 'bucheads'�especially after they went to all the trouble of bathing before the game and put- ting on their Sunday-best ECU T-shirts (sans tobacco juice stains of course)�would more than make up for anything lost in such a lopsided match. Editors note: The following Is an excerpt from an editorial that ap- peared in a 1996 edition of The Technician, N.C. State's student newspaper. We include this opinion, taken from the era when ECU and NCSU were first sclreduled to began playing each other again, to give Pirate fans a perspective on the nature of the on-going rivalry between the schools. Some N.C. State fans remember a football ri- valry between the Wolfpack and the Pirates of East Carolina University. This wildly popular clash came to an end in 1987 after the euphoria of victory over- whelmed some ECU fans and led them to incite a post-game brawl with the friendly neighborhood police. Some thought that after the violently destruc- tive display of jubilation, the boorish hordes from Greenville would never return to West Raleigh to pillage Carter-Finley Stadium. But thanks to some concerned souls downtown on Jones Street, the 'Pack and 'Bucs' will soon flip for possession. ECU, long seen as the stepchild to the flagship schools of the best education bargain in the nation, wants to schedule tougher opponents like NCSU and UNC-CH�who ceased its series with the Pirates In 1981�so they may create a noteworthy football pro- gram. Now NCSU has had its arm twisted into accept- ing a dud of an old rival, and there are those who are less than pleased with the imminent reappear- ance of the Pirates. Sure, ECU fans are as giddy as little schoolgirls gossiping on who likes who on the playground during recess, but we all know that it will soon switch over to tired old veterans bragging TONIGHTS BIG STORY NEWSCASTERS SUCH AS MYSELF NOT ONLY DON T WEAR PANTSWE DON'T HAVE LEGS! NCSU felt their arm had been twisted by making them play their old rival, ECU. The editorial below appeared in NCSU's student newspaper in June 1996. My, how times have changed. Five months after this appeared, the Pirates stomped the Wolfpack 50-29 in Charlotte. NCSU knows they have their work cut out for them this time as well. They are very aware that it is going to be a tough task to stop this Pirate squad. With the Pirates at 8-2 and the 'Pack at 6-5, this time it will be the Wolfpack who come in as the underdog. It will be the Pirates who put their stellar record and national ranking on the line. This particular game should be one of the more memorable tilts in a series that has provided many unforgettable moments. After hurricane-addled fans tore down the goalposts in Raleigh's Carter- Finley Stadium in September following the Pirates' upset victory over Mi- ami, NCSU fans took umbrage. Retaliation might come if the Wolfpack wins on Saturday. If NCSU wins, could there be another riot like there was after 1987's match-up? The only precaution that can be taken is to beef up police, but even that might not be enough to control the 48,000-plus stadium fans. Greenville has been waiting for this game since 1932, when the first Pirate team took the field. It is rare for any one of the "Big Four" to cross 1-95 to play a football game. For all of the NCSU-ECU rivalry's history and tradition, the game has never been played in Greenville. For staunch Pirate fans this game was a long time coming. Hopefully, the final game of the century in North Carolina's most intense football rivalry will be worth the wait. LETTER TO THE EDITOR Discrimination downtown unacceptable Dear Editor, Have you ever wondered why so many black stu- dents walk the streets downtown? Ever thought it odd that you could see very few black students in the clubs downtown? Let me guess�you want to know why. I'll tell you why: discrimination. That's right folks! Right here on our doorstep, this ugly beast has dared show its face again in our midst. ECU students are being discriminated against down- town simply because their skin tones happen to be a bit darker. Of course, they will tell you it's because "No baggy jeans are allowed Well, a lot of people where baggy jeans�black, white, Asian, American-Indian, Hispanic or whatever. But you can best believe that white students are not being turned away. How about this one: "members only Hmm, this is an interesting one. How many nightclubs do you know that refuse to allow someone in just because they don't have memberships? How many of us had memberships or were even legal when we were invited for orienta- tion? "But it's a members-only club you say. No dice there. I have personally been invited to several "mem- bers-only" clubs. When you didn't have a membership, they would go in, pull a member at random to sponsor non-members and charge you double the cover charge. If you don't believe this kind of discrimination goes on downtown, ask a couple of black students. Quite a few of the establishments downtown participate in this disgusting practice. It happens most often at Pantana Bob's, Sports Pad and the Cellar. So if you go down- town and only see blacks at BW-3's, Underwater and Boli's, its not because all we do is eat, but because those are virtually the only places that realize the only color in business is green. I personally salute these three es- tablishments, although BW-3's could put a couple of more hip-hopr & b options in the jukebox. In conclusion, our colleagues, associates and friends are being treated unfairly downtown. If you frequent the establishments practicing this type of behavior, you have the civic duty and responsibility to do something, whether you choose to stop going or complain to man- agement. To do nothing is to accept this kind of be- havior in our community. If you do nothing you might as well be the bouncer at the door telling me my pants are too baggy, I don't have a membership, my skin is too dark or my hair is not quite the right grade. Better yet just tell me that you are better than I am and that I have no rights or privileges. If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem. Marcus Frederick : Governor, ECU Black Students' Union; SGA Judicial Board member OPINION COLUMN Curse of '87 can finally be lifted Patrick McMahon OPINION WRITER Well, here we are, just two days from one of the biggest events in the school's history, and the admin- istration looks like they are trying to spoil the fun for everyone in- volved. I mean, what in the world were they thinking when they set kick- off for the NCSU game at 12:08 p.m.? It is completely dumbfound- ing that they could pull a stunt like this. This is to the students: When was the last time you went to a col- lege football game that kicked off this early? And to the alumni: When was the last time you even REMEMBER a game being this early? Come on guys. You can think of a later time than this. The word around campus seems to be that the 'Powers That Be' are trying to minimize the tailgating and pregame drinking as much as possible. Who are they trying to fool? The tailgating fields open four hours before kickoff, so that means that the individuals who partake in this activity must arrive at 8 a.m. to get their spots and get ready for the game. Instead of cooking chicken, steaks, and various luncheon feasts, these people must now bring skil- lets to cook eggs and bacon for breakfast. Do you think these people won't still drink at eight in the morning? Come on. You have dras- tically underestimated the drinking capabilities of the student body and alumni community. Hell, I know dozens of Pirate Club members who can outdrink any student we have. With that little message out of the way to the PTB (Powers That Be), this goes out to all the students out there. While we are at the game, can we at least try to show some school pride without repeating the riot of 1987? We fought long and hard for the chance to play these suckers on our home field, so lets not be the drunken, crazed idiots that the state seems to think we are, OK? I mean, we can be the drunken, crazed idiT ots they think we are, but let's at least do it in a respectful manner. Being respectful means no bottle throwing in the stands, no fights and no drunks passing out in the stands, requiring the EMT's to come get them. This is our chance people. This is our chance to show the world that we ARE capable of throwing one kick-ass game and party at the same time without having anyone get hurt or arrested. The cops are only there to do their job. We re- spect them, they respect us. The curse of '87 is about to be lifted. Lefs make sure it never returns. This writer can be contacted at pmcmahon@studentmedia. ecu. edu. OPINION COLUMN Pokemon inhibits children's learning R.W. Hobbs, Jr. OPINION WRITER A new foreign movie began hit- ting theaters last week�not from France or Italy, but from Japan. Pokemon is probably the largest Japanese phenomenon since those horrible black and white claymation monster flicks from eons past (which can still be seen on the Sci- Fi network). But it's not just an American craze�Pokemon is popu- lar worldwide. The concept was cre- ated by Nintendo and arrived here in America as a television show and a video game. "Pokemon" is the number one kids show on televi- sion. And beyond video games, the concept has also been successful with toys and playing cards. The motion picture is breaking all sorts of box office records. Whatever happened to educa- tional children's programming like Big Bird and Mr. Rogers? Children are being overloaded with strange and flashy cartoon figures and mountains of toys. The big problem lies with the parents, who are con- stantly buying these expensive toys for the kids. Children are even steal- ing Pokemon toys from each other at school, and trading, and gam- bling with them. These cartoons have no educational features or message for kids. 1 am convinced that programs such as "Pokemon" do nothing for kids except to instill addiction in toys at an early age. Some schools are even banning it because parents are worried about the likelyhood that children will become addicted. The toys, especially the rare and overpriced ones, become a compe- tition among children. This is a trend that has been going on for a few years now. Around Christmas a couple of years ago the "Tickle Me Elmo" was causing parents to knock each other over in the aisles of stores just to get it. The same thing hap- pened last year with the infamous "Furbie This year, there will prob- ably be a $200 Pokemon, which will probably be nothing more than a 4 ball of cotton with two eyes and a mouth. Some say that the Pokemon cards help kids with math and de- cision skills at an early age. That's like saying it's OK for kids to jump on their beds because it encourages exercise, or it's good to allow kids to slap their friends across the face because it teaches self-defense. The education argument does not wash when you account for the sensory overload of the toys, the gambling and fighting over the cards, and the addictive nature of the whole phe- nomenon. Children need to be discouraged from viewing programs that do nothing to educate them yet do a lot to hinder their morals and in- crease their brattiness. Shows like this and their spinoffs only desen- sitize children. We should steer kids away from the plotless, mindless and unpronounceable and encour- age the more educational, American programming.

Army ROTC cadets outshine peers at camp Training teaches valuable life skills Susan Wright FEATURES EDITOR The Army ROTC at ECU taps the full potential of its cadets in a variety of activities. During their field training exercise at Ft. Bragg on Nov. 7 and 8, their skills and abilities were tested In a series of challenging activities. Over the course of one weekend, 42 cadets ranging from sophomores to seniors, were put through land navigation exercises, a leadership reaction course and a qualifying test at the rifle range. All of these exercises are intended to give the cadets a taste of the challenges the Army will present them after they leave college. "Each of the things that they are exposed to before they go to camp gives them more realistic training and more realistic evaluations to see how they stack up against their peers said Lt. Col. Michael Loftin. ECU'S ROTC cadets, in the opinion of Loftin, ex- celled in comparison to the other cadets who were train- ing. "We are head over heels above the cadets we trained with at St. Augustine's College in Raleigh Loftin said. The first activity, a land navigation exercise, chal- lenges the cadet to find certain markers in the envi- ronment using a compass. They do this exercise twice, the first time during the day and the second at night. "The land navigation course at night was interest- ing because it demonstrated what skills we did or didn't have negotiating the terrain Loftin said. Another activity, the leadership reaction course, gave the cadets the opportunity to see what they could do when put in command. The cadets are broken down See ROTC, page 7 Cadet Heather Riley (center) and teammates from St. Augustine's move successfully through the obstacles, (photo courtesy of Murphrey Knox) Alumni House aids graduates in real worid Office offers connections, activities Nina M. Dry ASSISTANT FEATURES EDITOR After four (or five) years at our institution, five lovely words ring in the ears of some of our gradu- ates. No, not "thank goodness, I finally graduated even though many may say that, but "what do I do now?" With a degree in hand, many students leave the university to move on to bigger and better things, never looking back. Many do not realize what a use- ful resource ECU has available for students who are about to cross that threshold into the real world. The Alumni Affairs Office offers many avenues for ECU students. According to Phillip Home, associate vice chan- cellor of Alumni Affairs, there are a variety of mea- sures the Alumni Relations Office take to ensure con- tact with ECU graduates. "The primary mean used to keep in contact with alumni on a regular basis would be "The ECU Re- port a quarterly magazine that is published by Alumni Relations Home said. Home also said alumni should visit the award- winning Web site which posts a variety of events and activities taking place through the many alumni chapters located all over the country. This site is up- dated daily. The Alumni House will also send direct and elec- tronic mail to alumni, informing them of special benefits and upcoming programs such as Homecom- ing and reunion activities, receptions for ECU legis- lators and policy makers, chapter golf tournaments, alumni socialscareer exchanges, even tailgate par- ties held at Dowdy-Ficklen. According to Home, there are currently well over 85,000 general members, 12,000 of which are con- sidered active members at the alumni house. With so many students coming in and out of ECU, what becomes of them after graduation? Out of the multitude, let's look at two successful graduates who have accomplished many things after leaving this institution. Babs Winn graduated from ECU in 1973, receiv- ing her bachelor's of art degree in physical educa- tion. Her true passion, however resided in dance. Professors' passions spark pastimes Life continues for everyone beyond classrooms J. Lee Hughes CONTRIBUTING WRITER In front of every professor, there is a desk covered with assignments, lesson plans and appointment cal- endars. Behind this same professor however, are typi- cally photos of trips they have taken and of their life beyond ECU. Dr. Makuck stands in front of large stacks of books in his office, (photo by Susan Wright) As a business professor, Dr. Dan Schisler's desk is stacked high with various papers and such. After he has conquered the stack and earned himself some free time, he enjoys many of the same activities that other North Carolinians do.

Beside her regular course load, Winn also performed in many of the productions put on by ECU and taught at R a m o n a ' s School of Dance, a small dance studio here in Greenville. It was through R a m o n a VanNortwick that Winn re- ceived her first taste of "the Big Apple " Ramon a would bring me to New York for dance produc- tions where we would stay for a week Winn said. "I just fell in love with the place 1 knew 1 had to be there So one year after graduating from ECU, Winn moved up to New York, and has remained there ever since. Currently, Winn keeps extremely busy running many businesses. In 1988, she created a company that coordinates demonstrations in department stores. Her company presents a variety of items ranging from ap- pliances to food. Winn is also the first person known to appear on the Home Shopping Network to present products, which she still does for specific items. Among all of this, Winn still has time for her other passion. A NOTCH ABOVE THE NORM Dr. Margaret Bauer English Dr. Margaret Bauer's office Is decorated with tra- ditional Southern sayings and quotes about women, femininity and multiple copies of the North Caro- lina Literary Review (NCLR). Bauer currently teaches literature classes at ECU, in addition to editing the NCLR. After growing up in Franklin, La she followed her ambitions. Contrary to the normal expectations for a woman from her hometown, Bauer went on to pursue a successful academic career. She attended Louisiana State University, Univer- sity of Southwest Louisiana and University of Ten- nessee at Knoxville, and earned a Ph.D. in English with a specialization in Southern literature. Her the- sis was on Ellen Gilchrist, which has since been pub- lished as a book. Her passion, as well as her job, focuses on South- ern literature. She also teaches women's literature and black literature. One of the places she has taught is Wabash University in Indiana, an all-male liberal arts college. Bauer said It was definitely an experi- ence teaching women's literature to a small group of men. During her career as a professor and an editor, she has had the opportunity to meet several presti- gious writers. Fred Chappell, the poet laureate of NC, was one she has had the pleasure of knowing, as well as Lee Smith. According to Bauer, some of the most In- credible Southern writers are living and writing In NC today. It is an amazing time for N.C. literature, and many students don't realize what is happen- ing in literary circles now. In her classes she is animated, upbeat and in- volved, and encourages student discussion. Whether conducting class or conversation, It Is ap- parent Bauer loves her job and the Southern litera- ture that she teaches. performing. "One of the major productions I've done was the off-Broadway show called, 'Take This Show and Shove It Winn said. "I finished that in July and have done smaller projects since then She also has a country-western band called "Ms. Babs and the Kickin' Boogie Band They have just completed their CD, "Good Home Cookin and released it this past summer. In September, they opened for Bryan White at the Westbury Music Fair in Westbury, Long Island. With all of these events going on, the Alumni Center has been giving much support along the way. "ECU is supporting the marketing of the CD Winn said. "They're always thinking about people they can hook me up with and in a couple of weeks they will have a link on their site to my Web page; they've been very supportive This past May, Ryan Jasen Henne graduated from ECU with a bachelor's of science in communications. Currently he attends Grand Valley State University in Michigan. "I'm getting my master's in student affairs and counseling Henne said. Although it's barely been a year since Henne graduated from ECU, he has received assistance from Alumni Relations. "They helped me out a lot with Project ECU, a program created for victims of Hurricane Floyd Henne said. Once Henne heard about the disaster caused by the hurricane, he immediately organized Project ECU in order to get the student body at Grand Valley State involved by donating items ECU students may need. "We ended up bringing over 1,500 pounds of items for the students of ECU Henne said. Both Winn and Henne agree that the Alumni House is a great asset for students to take advantage of. According to Winn, had she not gotten involved with the Alumni House, it would have been "one huge area of support she would have totally missed out on "There are connections I would never have made had I not been involved with Alumni Relations Winn said.

Thanks to the Ian Haus Film Series, students will have the opportunity to show their film in front of an audience. "The idea was brought to me at a meeting by Dr. Dale Jacobs, who teaches a film class said Cathy Black, the Films Committee Chair for the Student Union. "The idea was brought up to him by a student One day during an Intro to Film class a senior named Jesse McGill made the suggestion to Jacobs, a professor in the English department who is also on the Films Committee. "I think it's a great idea Jacobs said. "There are a lot of students interested in producing films McGill said he had been thinking about the idea of showing student films for awhile now. "I watch a lot of independent films and I would like to work in a production house someday McGill said. Even though McGill has done a few small films himself, he would possibly be interested in editing. Black said that the Ian Haus Film Series was named after Jesse McGill, because his middle name is Ian. She said he wanted to get the ECU student's films shown, and the Student Union was willing to put it on. McGill also said he would like to see the Film Festi- val turn Into an annual event here at ECU. "Eventually we want to end up doing an Ian Haus Film Festival next semester but it depends on what kind of response we get from the public this semester Black said.

Dr. Jim Holte, a professor of the English department, may not play golf, but his travels have taken him to the land that invented golf�Ireland. Holte has visited a variety of countries in England, including Romania. Romania may seem to be a strange place for a vaca- tion, but for Holte, it was his interest in vampires that brought him there. "Transylvania is in Romania you know Holte said. The vampire memorabilia in his office, including a rubber bat and a life-size stuffed Dracula sitting in a rocking chair, shows his interest in vampires. "I've written four books on vampires and their his- tory Holte said. "I have around 250 books of vampire fiction in my collection, mostly all new Holte also sits on a worldwide committee that judges the best new vampire-based literature that comes out each year. The committee meets in various locations throughout Europe, so traveling is not only his pas- sion, but is also necessary. Dr. Peter Makuck of the English department also likes to get out, but his adventures are of a more nauti- cal nature. His two favorite pastimes are fishing and scuba diving. "I fish for anything that will put up a fight�wa- hoo, Spanish mackerel, tuna and dolphin, sailfish too Makuck said. "There's nothing like being out there and landing a big one. "All around you, any way you turn, there's nothing out there but you and your boat. The lilac-colored wa- ter, and you get a strike Makuck said. "Your rod-tip dives over the edge of the boat, and your reel starts screaming, and there's nothing you can do about it, you just let it urn, and then you see this huge silvery- blue marlin jump out of the water. There's nothing like it The experience becomes poetic and almost epic in the telling. Expect no less from Makuck; he's written four books of poetry and one of short stories. Schisler, Holte and Makuck all have different lives outside of the classroom, and they all have to get away sometimes. Their paper-littered desks are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the personality of each and every professor at ECU.

Steffi Graf was again on center court at Madison Square Garden during the final tour- nament of the WTA Tour, an event she has won five times during the length of her career. This time she wore a formal black sweater and ankle-length black skirt and fought back the tears, especially when she thanked her mother, Heidi, and coach, Heinz Gunthardt.

MLS abandons shootout, reworks divisions The shootout is shot. Major League Soccer said Wednesday it will replace its controversial tiebreaker with two five-minute periods of sudden-death over- time. The ending of the shootout � in which a player starts 35 yards from the goal and has five seconds to shoot at the goalkeeper � was one of a series of changes by the 4-year- old league. However, MLS will not award four points for a victory, a format that will be adopted by the second- and third-division United Soccer Leagues next season. Instead, MLS will use the international norm of three points for a win and one for a tie. Sunday's MLS Cup championship game in Foxboro, Mass. between two-time champion D.C. United and the Los Angeles Galaxy, how- ever, will still use the shootout if the game is tied after 30 minutes of sudden-death over- time.

Karolyi, who retired after the 1996 Olym- pics, will be the women's national team coordi- nator but he will not coach at the Sydney Olympics, USA Gymnastics said Tuesday. He will set the team's training programs and over- see its Olympic preparations. "We need to make some adjustments to our women's program to improve our prepara- tion for the 2000 Olympic Games said Bob Colarossi, president of USA Gymnastics. "Karolyi's efforts will make a significant differ- ence in our ability to train at the highest level during the 10 months prior to Sydney Karolyi will advise the gymnasts' personal coaches and have a role in saying who makes the Olympic team. "This is a special opportunity for me to con- tinue supporting American gymnasts Karolyi said. "This role suits me best since my retire- ment from training individual gymnasts.

Some of the most storied rivalries date back to the last century. How- ever, the one rivalry than runs deeper than the others and still brings emotion out of the most se- date fans is one of the state's young- est. "It's like if you and your brother don't get along said linebacker Jeff Kerr. "It's like a sibling rivalry ECU played N.C. State for the first timt in football on Oct. 10, 1970, in Raleigh. The Wolfpack whipped the Pirates 23-6 in front of 18,000 in Raleigh's Carter Stadium. The following season under first year Head Coach Sonny Randle, the Pirates beat N.C. State 31-15 and the rivalry was born. The rivalry that began in 1970 had been an annual affair for 17 years. It had been halted for almost a decade and revived by an act of law. It has been played as season openers, season finales and bowl games. By far, it is the most intense football rivalry the state has seen. The early years, 1970-1972 Many of the emotions that fuel the rivalry come from before the two teams ever met on the field. For much of the century, east- ern NC was behind the rest of the state in many areas. Eastern NC's feeling of inferiority extended from a lack of economic prosperity in col- lege football. For years, the "Big Four" domi- nated college sports in NC. Duke, University of North Carolina- Chapel Hill, N.C. State and Wake Forest got the exposure and notori- ety when it came to college football. The "Big Four" had their regal rivalries that dated back to the 1890's. They had the tradition, they had the history, they had each other and the prestigious Atlantic Coast Conference. ECU played in the lower profile Southern Conference. The Pirates faced conference foes such as Furman, The Citadel and William & Mary. The Pirates playing one of the "Big Four" would be a major boost for the program. ECU did play Wake Forest once, in Greenville on Sept. 21,1963. The Pirates beat the Demon Deacons 20- 10 in front of 17,000 in the first game ever played in Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium. The game marked the first and only time time that ECU would play one of the "Big Four" before 1970. The ECU-N.C. State rivalry owes its origins to a pair of old friend talk- ing over dinner. Former N.C. State Head Coach Earle Edwards and Jeff Blake (above left) threw for 378 yards and fQur touchdowns "in the '92 Peach Bowl.Luke Fisher (above) caught 12 passes for 144 yards in ECU'S 37- 34 victory (file photos). longtime ECU Head Coach and Ath- letic Director Clarence Stasavich, discussed having their teams play each other, while the two were at dinner during a national coaches' convention in the late '60s. "They were the first in-state school that agreed to play us said Henry VanSant, assistant athletic di- rector. "They helped East Carolina a great deal by agreeing to play us On Oct. 10,1970, the two teams finally did suit up and play each other in Raleigh. Edwards was on the N.C. State sideline, while ECU was coached by first year man, Mike McGee. Edward's Wolfpack stomped the Pirates, 23-6. ECU'S lone score coming on an 11-yard pass from John Casazza to Dick Corrada. N.C. State's All-ACC safety, Jack Whitely returned an ECU punt 69 yards for a Wolfpack score. The next year the Pirates notched their first win against N.C. State. On Oct. 23, 1971 two teams that had not been playing good football that season rame into Carter Stadium. Both the Wolfpack and the Pirates were at 1-5 prior to the contest. "The intent when we went in was not to get embarrassed said running back Carlester Crumpler. "We wanted to go out and and play hard and represent the university well The Pirates did just that. On the strength of a 20-point first half, the Pirates cruised to a 31-15 win. "It was big Crumpler said, who had 47 yards on nine carries. "Both teams didn't have good years. I think we won four games, but one of those wins was against them While the early games drew the fans, it was not yet a true rivalry. "We thought a lot about it, but it wasn't as hyped up as it is now Crumpler said. "State and Carolina were the two biggest out-of-confer- ence games that we played while I was there The games would be an inaus- picious beginning to a series that would provide some magical mo- ments. Building a rivalry, 1973-1987 In 1972 the Pirates began a string of eight winning seasons. N.C. State and ECU played every year, always in Raleigh. During these years of Pirate success, ECU only beat the Wolfpack twice. In 1976 and again in 1977 the Pirates bested the Wolfpack. By 1980, with over a decade of games under their belts, N.C. State held an 8-3 series lead. The losses continued until 1983, when ECU topped the Wolfpack, 22-16 in Raleigh. A N.C. State win in 1984, fol- lowed by a Pirate win in '85, fol- lowed by a another N.C. State win in 1986, gave credibility to what once was a one-sided series. Up until to this point the rivalry was a pair of in-state schools squar- ing off. It made for some good col- lege football games and bragging rights. What made the rivalry run so deep is also what killed it for nearly a decade. "The rivalry was stopped be- cause of difficulties we had in '87 VanSant said. See RIVALRY, page 11 Pirates, Pack square off N.C State to play in Greenviile for first time Stephen Schramm SPORTS EDITOR Since the rivalry between N.C. State and ECU be- gan in 1970, Pirate fans have yearned for the series to come east of Raleigh. Saturday, they finally get the chance to see the Pirates and the Pack go head to head in Greenville. "It's going to be big said quarterback David Garrard. "The crowd Is going to be in It the whole game. They've been waiting for State to come here for so long, and now they're finally here. They just want to see a good game and a good victory by the Pirates The upcoming game sold out almost a month ago. The crowd Is expected to be the largest In Dowdy- Flcklen history. "It will be electric for both teams said Head Coach Steve Logan. "When we played in Raleigh, they had 50,000-60,000. We played over there and their place was sold-out. "It will be electric. It will be what college football is supposed to be like The game will be the 23rd renewal of one of college football's most intense rivalries. For the seniors on this Pirate squad, it will be the third time they have faced the Wolfpack. For others on the team, it will be the first time playing the Wolfpack. While they have not faced State on the field, the teams are not strangers. "I know a couple of players on the State team, and I live like, 15 minutes from it Garrard said. "Actually, that was my school in high school, but it kind of changed a little bit For many, including senior LaMont Chappell, the Wolfpack team is filled with familiar faces. Chappell went to high school at Roxboro's Person High School along with State quarterback Jamie Barnette. "ECU-N.C. State is a big rjvalry Chappell said. "It will mean a lot to me because a lot of those guys are from my hometown, who I grew up with from kinder- garten up. I played ball with those guys since elemen- tary school�peewee league all the way up to high school. It will mean a lot and give me some bragging rights when I go home Barnette, a senior, will be a concern for the Pirates as they prepare for the Wolfpack. "We've got to keep Jamie Barnette from running up and down the field on us Logan said. "He's a run- throw guy; he can do both. People chase him around all the time, but he gets sacked maybe once a game. You've got to trap him with three people. One guy can't sack him. Two guys might have a chance, but it takes three to take him down Another point of concern will be the talented corps of receivers Barnette has at his disposal. Koren Robinson and Chris Coleman have helped the Wolfpack offense pass for an average of 201.8 yards per game. While the Wolfpack offense has caught the atten- tion of Pirate coaches, the defense has not gone unno- ticed. "I know they're going to play man-to-man Chappell said. "They played Carolina pretty good on defense; they've really played everybody pretty good. I feel they're going to come out and their going to play their hardest, for a few quarters. But if we keep pound- ing them, we'll come out with a victory This writer con be contacted at sports@studentmsdia .ecu.edu, av. 18,1999 nedia.ecu.edu 1 Coach and Ath- rence Stasavich, :heir teams play the two were at ational coaches' late '60s. le first in-state to play us said istant athletic di- ed East Carolina seing to play us '0, the two teams d and play each Edwards was on :line, while ECU it year man, Mike olfpack stomped ECU'S lone score -yard pass from ick Corrada.

Thursday, Nov. 18,1999 www.tec.ecu.edu SPORTS The East Carolinian sports0studentmedia.ecu.edu RIVALRY from page 10 What happened on the night of Sept. 5, 1987 ce- mented the rivalry and made Into the intense feud that it is today. The season opener for the Pirates was going to be a stern test for Head Coach Art Baker. Baker, in his third year as head coach, had an undistinguished tenure at the helm of the Pirate program. Having led the Pirates to a 2-9 finish in 1985 and a 3-8 record in 1986, the match up with N.C. State would be of the utmost im- portance to Baker's future at the school. The game itself was uneventful. On a rainy, late-sum- mer evening, 56,000 fans watched ECU take apart the Wolfpack. The Pirates' run and shoot offense was click- ing with Travis Hunter at the helm. The Pirates opened up a 13-7 lead at halftime and cruised to a 32-14 win. ECU racked up 330 rushing yards in the victory. With 10 seconds remaining, and the scoreboard pro- jecting the all-but-certain ECU victory, hoards of Pirates fans streamed from the grassy hill behind the South end zone of Carter-Finley. The stampede was turned back by an infuriated Baker. However, as the final seconds ticked away, neither Baker nor the police could stop what was about to happen. Storming the field following a Pirate win in Carter- Finley was nothing new. Pirate fans had taken to the field after every Pirate win since 1971. It was usually a peaceful, uneventful action. However, on this night, it was different. Thousands of Pirate fans ran over a chain link fence and took to the field. This time N.C. State fans were waiting. While the ECU fans headed for the goal posts, N.C. State fans tried to defend their home field. When the two factions met, a riot ensued. Police were unable to control the melee. Maj. Larry D. Liles, of the NCSU Department of Pub- lic Safety, told the News and Observer that he estimated over 2,000 people were on the field during the incident. In the chaos, fist fights broke out and both goal posts were torn down. The incident outraged fans of both teams. As a re- sult, the series that had been played every year since 1970 was halted indefinitely. "One of the great college football games, period Jan. 1,1992 If the 1987 game gave the rivalry its intensity, then the 1992 Peach Bowl gave it its magic. The effects of the game are still felt today in this part of the state. Names like Jeff Blake, Robert Jones and Luke Fisher still resonate like the names of heroes in a legend. Almost every restaurant or shop in Greenville pays hom- age to this team and this game with a picture on the wall, a jersey on display or some other relic from that January day in Atlanta. "It was just one of the great college football games, period said Head Coach Steve Logan, who then was the offensive coordinator. The Pirates began the 1991 campaign with a loss at Illinois. It would be the last time the team lost all year. The team rattled off 10 straight wins, many in dramatic fashions. Of the teams' 10 regular season wins, four were by seven points or less. The team's winning streak garnered much attention and its motto, "We Believe" adorned buttons and bill- boards across the state. The team accepted a bid to go to the Peach Bowl in Atlanta to face N.C. State. The game would be the last Peach Bowl played in Atlanta's Fulton County Stadium. With 59,322 fans in attendance the game kicked off. N.C. State took the early lead on a 2-yard touchdown run from Gary Downs. A 5- yard touchdown pass from Blake to Cedric Van Buren knotted the score at seven. The Wolfpack took a seven point lead when quarterback Terry Jordan found fight end Todd Harrison for a 4-yard touchdown reception. ECU countered with 10 points of their own, seven com- ing on a 55-yard touchdown strike from Blake to Hunter Gallimore. The Pirates went Into halftime up, 17-14. The third quarter saw N.C. State score 13 unanswered points. A 52-yard touchdown pass from halfback Ledel George to split end Charles Davenport put the Wolfpack up by 17 with 13:01 left in the game. "I have been a part of some storybook things here at East Carolina Logan said. "The '92 Peach Bowl was storybook What happened next was storybook. After ECU got the ball following a muffed N.C. State punt with 8:41 on the clock, Blake led the Pirates back from the brink. Blake scored on a 2-yard run to cut the Wolfpack lead to 10. On the following ECU possession, Blake moved the Pirates 80 yards and found Dion Johnson for a 17-yard touchdown pass. Head Coach Bill Lewis opted for the two point con- version. It failed and the Pirates were down four with 4:18 remaining. On the Pirates final possession, Blake hit the tight end, Fisher for a 22-yard touchdown. This put the Pirates up 34-31. When Damon Hartman's 49-yard field goal attempt fell short, the Pirates had completed the greatest come- back in ECU history. ECU had put up 20 unanswered points and taken their place among NC's elite football programs. From the gridiron to the legislature, 1992-1997 The 1992 Peach Bowl re-energized the rivalry be- tween the two schools. The game, combined with both teams' moderate success in the early and mid '90s, cre- ated a movement to get the two schools to renew their annual series. State senator, Mark Basnight (D-Dare) in- troduced bills In the General Assembly to require ECU to play N.C. State and UNC-CH. The measure worked and UNC-CH and N.C. State agreed to play ECU, start- ing with N.C. State taking on the Pirates in 19. The two teams'first meeting since the Peach Bowl came on Nov. 30, 1996 in Charlotte's Ericsson Sta- dium. On that rainy day, it was aU Pirates. ECU took control early and never let up, cruising to a 50-29 blowout. "To go down there and just totally beat them, it meant a lot to us said defensive lineman, Norris McCleary. Pirate running back Scott Harley set an NCAA record for rushing yards as a sophomore, racking up 351 yards on the ground. "That was really the cap on the bottle Logan said. "We were denied a bowl bid that year. We kind of used that game as a bowl game. The kids really responded well The next year, the series shifted to Raleigh, where N.C. State pulled out a dramatic victory on the last play of the game. "They beat us on the last play of the game, and that hurts McCleary said. "We emphasize winning on the last play of the game. They beat us at our own game The rivalry will be renewed Saturday, and again next year, in Charlotte. "We could be 3-8 or they could be 3-8 or 8-3, it doesn't matter Logan said.

As captain I am like a mediator between coaches and play- ers. The other players look to me to dis- cuss team issues with the coaches Jabs understands that it takes time to get to know teammates and really understand them as people, especially freshmen. "As a freshman you come in and kind of put on a front for everybody, Jabs said, "but as you prove yourself, more of your true self comes out. We have a very closefly knit team. We have a lot of fun This season has been a very pro- ductive one for the men's swim team. Jabs has led them to only one loss out of five meets this season. He will gradu- ate next fall with a degree in exercise and sports science with a recreation and leisure minor. Jabs got his drive for ex- cellence from his parents. "They not only emphasized athlet- ics; academics was very important Jabs said. "When I was a sophomore in high school my parents pulled me from the team. 1 wasn't failing, but I wasn't meeting what they expected of me. That showed me what was really im- portant" As an athlete and captain he has made a lasting impression on his coaches. His hard work shows in how his peers look at him. "He came in as a great athlete and is leaving as a much faster swimmer said Head Coach Rick Kobe. "He's one of the fastest in the conference. He has a game plan and is very mature and has done his growing up If you are at a swim meet and want to find Matt Jabs, just look for the guy having the most fun and you'll spot him easily.

"As a team we played with our heart, we gave great effort and came together said junior defender Nick Errato. "We gave a great performance as a whole. It was a heartbreaker for the seniors to go out with a loss The Pirates went into the tour- nament at Virginia Beach, Va. hold- ing the number seven seed. They faced VCU, who held the second seed, and has been ranked seventh in the nation. ECU lost to VCU in the final season game as well. "It was pretty bad said senior forward AJ. Gray. "We played good. It was a close game, close at half time VCU attempted 20 shots throughout the game, but did not score until the 82nd minute. "It was the senior's last game, going out like that is crappy Gray said. "There was like eight minutes left in the game when a real controver- sial goal was made, Gray said. "It kind of killed us; we didn't have much of a chance The controversial goal Gray re- ferred to was a possible handball made by the offense of VCU before the goal was scored. ECU tallied three shots on the day. "The ref may have overlooked the calls, but we played our hearts out and gained respect said senior defender Brett Waxer. "We worked so hard from beginning to end Freshman goalkeeper R.J. Marvtnney earned five saves and one goal allowed. Marvlnney completed the game in the goalkeeper's posi- tion. "Our record does not reflect how we played Waxer said. "We stuck together and worked through the ob- stacles The Pirates ended the 1999 sea- son with the quarter final game. William & Mary won their fifth soc- cer championship 4-2 over VCU. This writer can be contacted at ekoperniak@studentmedia.ecu.edu.
