The university Web site is in
the process of being redesigned
for easier use by students, faculty
and staff.
The University Web Commit-
tee (UWC), the group respon-
sible for this project, was estab-
lished last fall to begin the long
and involved process of upgrad-
ing such a large web site. The
committee is made up of faculty
and staff members from the dif-
ferent academic departments
and experts from Computing
and Information Systems (CIS).
In order to make the project
more manageable, the UWC is
divided into five subcommittees
who meet on a regular basis. The
subcommittees are Design and
Navigation, Performance and Us-
ability Metrics, Content and Pro-
gram Mechanisms, Publicity and
Policies and Guidelines and Le-
gal Authentication. Each of these
subcommittees work separately,
but meet together every month
to report progress to the UWC
as a whole.
Although making the site
easier to navigate is the UWC's
main goal, they do have other
things on their agenda.
"There is great interest in giv-
ing the whole site a consistent
look and feel throughout all of
the pages said Ernie
Marshburn, director of CIS.
"Right now most of the pages
have their own look. We'd like
to get to the point where we have
one voice, one university, one
web page
Another big goal for the site
is using it to market the
university's legions of educa-
tional opportunities but keeping
it functional at the same time,
according to Leslie Craigle, chair
of the publicity subcommittee.
Marshburn said that getting
user feedback is one of the most
important processes in the rede-
sign of the web site.
"We'll be sending out e-maiJs
very soon giving students and
faculty the opportunity to give
us feedback and input on the ini-
tial draft designs Marshburn
said. "The users have to like it or
they won't use it, and that won't
do us any good
The UWC does not have a
definite date when the rede-
signed site will be ready for full
time use yet.
"We are making headway,
considering it's such a long and
involved process Marshburn
said. "I encourage everyone to
help us out by giving us feed-

Pharmacy school new possibility for university
Pharmacists needed
in eastern NC
Angela Harne
ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR
A school of pharmacy may
become part of the ECU family
due to the increased need for
pharmacists in our region.
According to Dr. Ann Jobe,
senior associate dean of Aca-
demic Affairs, the idea of ECU
getting this new academic addi-
tion is still in the preliminary
stages.
The Board of Trustees said
Jobe gave the concept of a phar-
maceutical school their endorse-
ment based on Dr. Jack Cole's
consultant report stating trie
need for pharmacists in eastern
North Carolina.
Jobe said a group of eight pro-
fessionals from the School of
Medicine, allied health and the
university have developed docu-
ments that request permission to
plan the foun-
dation of a
pharmaceuti-
cal school.
"It will be a
long and
drawn out pro-
cess Jobe
said. "Recently
we got permis-
sion from the
Board of Trust-
ees to put
documents to-
gether discuss-
ing plans for a
pharmacy
school. In my
opinion it's too
soon to tell
whether this
will be a reality
or not. 1 believe it is feasible, but
right now we are in the explor-
ing mode, meaning we are dis-
cussing the region and cost of
possible faculty, buildings and
space
Jobe said that once the pre-
liminary plans go through the
Due to the dire need for pharmacists in this region, the BOT approved the
plan for a pharmacy school at ECU. (photo from World Wide Web)
Board of Trustees it will then
have to be passed by the UNC
system Board of Governors.
Fred Parham, professor of
chemistry and a pre-pharmacy
adviser, said he supports the con-
cept of a pharmaceutical school.
"I believe the chances of ECU
getting of
pharmacy
school are very
feasible he
said. "It is defi-
nitely a dream
which can be-
come reality
because we are
in dire need of
pharmacists.
Not only in
eastern North
Carolina, but
throughout
the United
States. We
need the cor-
rect facilities
to properly
train students
so they can go
out and fill the available posi-
tions
Professors in various depart-
ments recognize the lack of phar-
macists in our area.
"At the moment, many stu-
dents graduate from ECU as
chemistry majors and become
pharmacists said Chia-Yu Li
professor and chair of the chem-
istry department. "Currently
there is a shortage of pharmacists
and I believe our institution ii
ready for a pharmacy school
Currently, the only pharma-
ceutical schools in North Caro-
lina are at the University of North
Carolina-Chapel Hill and
Campbell University.
Jobe said the pharmacy
schobl will be aimed at serving
those in eastern North Carolina.
"Though we have not gotten
the full go ahead from the uni-
versity, if and when ECU gets a
pharmaceutical school its gradu-
ates will be aimed at serving our
region, just like the School of
Medicine aims at doingJobe

cerned about the issues discussed
anjd was very serious about taking
action Moore said. "Robinson
agreed to talk to all club owners. He
claimed to set standards for all clubs
where all will be treated fairly. Sup-
posedly all students with their stu-
dent ID and proper attire will be ad-
mitted
Proper attire is a subjective term,
however.
"I was told attire varies from club
to club Moore said. "Though it was
anonymous that sunglasses and
baggy pants were not permitted
Representatives of The Cellar,
which had one report filed against
it; denied discriminating against
anyone.
; A worker at The Cellar who
wished to remain anonymous said
proper attire is at the bouncer's dis-
cretion, though he said it does not
vary from night to night or person
to. person. He said hats needed to
be worn correctly, and pants could
not be baggy due to the possible
concealment of weapons or booze.
A student whose name was with-
held claimed she once went to The
Cellar with her friends, and a male
student with them was wearing his
hat backward and was asked to leave
because it referred to a gang sym-
bol. She also said that she person-
ally has seen The Cellar deny ma-
rines entrance into the club.
One student said marines
needed to be banned from clubs due
to their improper actions.
"Marines seem to be the ones to
the start the bar fights and cause
chaos throughout the clubs said
freshman Brooke Harrison. "They
overstep the lines of flirting and it
is truly unnecessary
According to staff at The Cellar,
they had been informed by
Robinson about the new standards
now in play and the accusations
against them.
The Cellar would not further dis-
cuss the issue.
PB's has received eight reports of
alleged discrimination acts, but the
owner, Saieed, was unable to be con-
tacted.
According to Moore, Saieed
seemed concerned with the accusa-
tions at the meeting and said he
would make a special effort to talk
to all of his employees.
Moore said Saieed promised he
would take immediate action and
discuss the issue with other club
owners.
How much has actually been ac-
complished remains to be seen.
"I feel the new year will bring
change Moore said. " But one can't
be too sure until time passes by, for
only time will tell
Moore said that if the discrimi-
nation continues he needs to be in-
formed immediately by students so
actions can be taken to the next
level.
"I informed students to make
me aware of any continued dis-
crimination Moore said. "If I re-
ceive any more reports I will be con-
tacting Robinson the minute it's in
my hand. Students need to be sure
reports are very informative with
the club's name, the date, the time,
the situation and, if possible, the
bouncer's name

Washington State U.?The
ski slopes he knew and loved
proved fatal for another WSU
student over Winter Break.
Brandon "Bean" Barton died
Dec. 27, five days after hitting a
tree on Slalom, an intermediate
level run at Ski Bluewood ski
area near Dayton, Wash. He was
the second WSU student to die
on a ski slope in the last few
weeks.
"He had worked at Ski
Bluewood in high school and
while going to community col-
lege said Kayla Kirk, Barton's
mother. "He grew up skiing
there; he knew that mountain
top to bottom
Barton, 23, was going about
SO miles per hour when he
struck a tree, according to Casey
Casseday, who was skiing with
Barton.
"He had gone over a jump and
caught an edge which threw him
into the snow; then he bounced
into a tree Kirk said.
"He was in a coma from the sec-
ond he hit the tree Kirk said. "He
never regained consciousness
Barton was taken to St. Mary
Medical Center in Walla Walla,
Wash where he died.
"He died doing what he loved
said Jason Emery, a friend of Barton.
Shawn Frisbee, another friend,
agreed.
"I'm sure if you asked Bean,
there'd be no other way he'd want
to go Frisbee said.
Barton, a senior in Natural Re-
source Management, loved the out-
doors.
"He started fishing when he was
a little, tiny thing; he liked all the
outdoors and that's how he spent
all his time Kirk said. "He was ei-
ther at the river fishing or at the
mountain four wheeling or skiing
According to Kirk, Barton spent
a semester in 1998 with the Oregon
State Department of Fisheries at
Hermiston, Ore and La Grande,
Ore working on a genetic fish
project.
"The main thing about Bean was
he loved the outdoors and he was
always happy Emery said. "He al-
ways had that big grin on his face
Barton's friends had a joke about
his trademark smile.
"We used to say that if you
punched him in the face he'd still
smile Frisbee said.
"It seemed like God needed a
smiling face and Bean was the one
to do it said Jason Cooper, a friend
of Barton.
Barton's ashes will be scat-
tered on Blue Mountain on
March 21, Barton's birthday in
honor of his love for the out-
doors.
"He is just a guy who loved
the outdoors, loved people and
loved life Cooper said.
Barton's memorial service
was held Dec. 30 at first Chris-
tian Church in Dayton, Wash
where he grew up.
The service was standing

said.

It is no longer just a shot off
the rumor mill, ignored and
expected We are onto you,
and we're coming to get you.
It's one of the first stories heard off the rumor mill when you were a
freshman: Downtown clubs exclude minorities. Some will tell you that it's
just a myth, but many people see it happening each week. Everyone be-
comes a believer sooner or later.
Most clubs use the dress code as an excuse. Ten scantily-clad Cauca-
sian girls can pass under a sign that says, "No tank tops but the first
African-American male to show up wearing a jersey is turned around and
sent elsewhere.
Sometimes they use the membership ruse. "You can't get in if you're
not a member But does anyone actually know a member of any club
downtown?
The point is, it happens. Of course the clubs won't say it's racial bias,
and they get away with claiming other reasons for turning out minorities,
but we know what's going on. You can see it when you look around
inside clubs and notice how few dark-skinned faces you see.
Perhaps the owners are afraid of developing a reputation for being a
"black club Maybe they fear gang violence down here in tiny Greenville.
It could be they just don't like African-Americans.
Whatever the reason, downtown should know that we are aware of
this problem. It is no longer just a shot off the rumor mill, ignored and
expected. We are onto y8u, and we're coming to get you.

Possibility of human cloning excites one weirdo
Chris Sachs
OPINION WRITER
I saw on the news last week that American scien-
tists have successfully cloned a monkey and like all
ground-breaking biological science the subject was
given a very stupid name: Tetra. This is a major break-
through as far as the ability to create a human being is
concerned, since a monkey and a human are only
about a two percent difference in DNA. (Sometimes
less if the human has been drinking.) I think we will
see the first cloning of a human very soon. Get your
tickets now kiddies. Darwin and God are about to have
a steel cage match.
I am for cloning. I don't see massive dangers in the
immediate future from cloning so I say go for it. As far
as the long term, well that will be a nightmare of Bib-
lical proportions. But by then I will be dead and not
bothered by this whole mess. So copy away folks! Set
up production lines and clone everything from your
kid's dead goldfish all the way to porn stars.
Questions do arise, however: If we are to clone
someone, who should it be? Who will be chosen to be
the first copied? Should we clone a movie star? Or clone
a senator? Or a famous artist? And should the first clon-
ing be sponsored by Kinko's? And how will this play
with all the religious folk? I am sure the pope and the
other religious ilk are pulling their hair out and losing
sleep about all this cloning business. We are about to
take God's ability to create in his own image and per-
form the same miracle. (Except our process costs a lot
more and we won't drown our subjects if they don't
turn out the way we want them to).
Now I know president Whatshisname has banned
government funding for human cloning research, but
when has this ever stopped anything of Importance?
Popular scientists are everywhere and they will scrounge
oTjfAhe capital from private investors and get the job
done anyway.
As in every good science fiction story, which clon-
ing has emerged from, there are bad guys out there
who will want to use the ability for their own dastardly
deeds. What about the dumb people ? the rich? Mil-
lionaire old ladies will want to dig up their old dead
cats and have "Muffin" brought back to a boring old
life. Old fading Wall Street barons will want to clone
themselves so their idiot step-sons won't inherit their
illegal stock portfolios. What about the tree huggers?
Will they want to clone John Denver and Jerry Garcia
and have thousand of peace freaks sitting on the roof
of the capital smoking avocado peels and wondering
whether trees dream? Will the Mormons in Utah want
to clone themselves so they have a bigger voice to chant
"our Jesus is better than your Jesus?
This whole cloning business is a gas to watch. This
will lead to major ethical and sociological problems in
the future that will make Roe vs. Wade look like an
episode of "Judge Judy I am gonna enjoy watching
all this unravel in the next couple of decades and I
think it will become one of the most important issues
this species will ever have to deal with. But until all
hell breaks loose, I will continue the cloning that has
given meaning to my life and to those around me: clon-
ing cash with my laser printer.

If you're like me, you're tired of America Online
because you're unable to sign on to it at a decent hour.
For me, I can usually only sign on around 11 p.m.
Recently, AOL and Time Warner merged creating
a company worth over $300 billion. With all of this
new capital, can't they spare a little to create a new
access number?
Greenville alone holds over 50,000 people within
its boarders, then adding the outlying towns of Ayden,
Winterville and Kinston to the Greenville number cre-
ates more congestion than one can deal with. So the
competition at night to get online is a lot like clowns
attempting to fill a midget car, sometimes it happens,
sometimes it doesn't.
So what can we do? Some people I have talked to
have left AOL for the small local Internet service pro-
viders popping up all over town, who promise instant
connection. But after switching most of these same
people complain about the more difficult interfaces
that some of these ISPs have and they are still receiv-
ing busy signals at dial-up.
I have heard from a lot of you that you have e-
mailed AOL about this problem. Personally, when I
tried it I received a lame, generically generated e-mail
containing a "Thank you for your concern yet I
haven't seen any results.
AOL claims that last October it reached the 20 mil-
lion member mark, but I fear that with this great ex-
pansion they are losing touch with the small commu-
nities they helped wire years ago. To them, Greenville
and our problems are just a minor blip on their screens.
For now we have to sit patiently and wait, unless
by some miracle, they listen up and respond to our
plight. Maybe with this new merger the Greenville area
will receive cable modems, which are faster, much like
the ones already used in Charlotte and parts of north-
ern Virginia. But until that time, we are just slaves to
the new Big Brother.

Taking on the elements to get to class
Leigh Murphy
OPINION WRITER
OPINION COLUMN
It's hard to know who to trust anymore
What does it take to cancel classes at ECU? Obvi-
ously last semester we Suffered a horrible encounter
with Mother Nature and were forced to stay home.
However, when places start to close in and around
Greenville due to weather, it makes you wonder if we,
ECU students and employees, need to be out driving
around either.
I realize that it is early in the new semester and it's
a problem to cancel classes, but unfortunately we do
have to look out for our fellow pirates and consider
the severity of the driving conditions.
Tuesday morning I was on my way from to school
after work and had trouble sliding all over the roads. I
hated the fact that I had to call my teacher and tell
him that I was not coming to class, but what else was I
supposed to do?
I am sure he must have thought that it was just a
way to get out of class. But, the roads were bad enough
to cancel Pitt County schools, yet we were expected to
take them on to get to morning classes.
Why is it that the county will close the public
schools but the university will uphold expectations for
attendance? I understand that there is an allotted num-
ber of hours and class meetings that have to be held
and that puts pressure on everyone to fulfill that policy,
but what about safety?
I think that if the roads and the weather condi-
tions are too dangerous for travel, then the many
people that live off campus commuting to school ev-
ery day should be taken into consideration. There are
days when it is simply too hazardous to attend.
I know this might not be the most popular way to
look at it, but when I get up for school and see that the
public schools and other facilities are not opening, I
really think about whether or not I should try to com-
bat the elements.
According to the Office of Planning and Institu-
tional Research, there were a total of 18,223 students
enrolled at ECU, of those, 13,270 were commuters.
These numbers reflect the fact that during inclement
weather, a large portion of our students have to deal
with driving and might not attempt to go to class if
the rest of the county isn't trying either.
I am not saying that once Pitt County shuts djiwn.
ECU should also, I just feel as though more consider-
ation should be paid since two-thirds of the popula-
tion commutes to class.
. None of us want to miss class, but none of us should
be asked to take any unnecessary risks to attend either.

Maybe it is just me, but I have a flaw that just will
not escape my body. I know, I know, you people could
probably point out dozens of flaws in me but this one
causes me the most trouble. The problem, you ask?
Well, I trust people too much and have a strange be-
lief that everyone on the planet is basically good.
I believe that when push comes to shove, people
choose the right thing to do even if it is the hardest
decision to make. 1 expect people to be generous and
understanding, caring and compassionate. Oh dear
God, how that notion is flawed.
Call me the eternal optimist, a goodie-two-shoes
or just downright stupid, but up until a little trip over
the holidays, the notion of goodness guided my day. I
would help anyone out of a jam. ?
Some rough and tumbled hobo came up to me on
the street and asked for a couple of dollars so he could
get a meal (aka Colt 45) and what did 1 do? Hand him
a few bucks and direct him to Wendy's. I felt no ap-
prehension in giving him the money because I trusted
in the fact that he would do the right thing, just as 1
would if in his shoes. I watched him carefully and what
did he do? Walk right across the street into Wendy's
and get himself some grub. It made me feel confident
that others would act the way he did. Until Mobile
What literally changed my outlook on people in
the span of 24 hours happened in Mobile, Ala. while
some friends and I were down there for the bowl game
(a.k.a. "ghetto stadium) We were all downtown on
Dauphin Street waiting for our cab when a well-dressed
man came up to my friend Goo and asked him for a
couple of dollars so he could get a cab ride home.
As I walked up, he went into this long story about
how this and that prevented him from doing that and
this. Naturally, I felt sorry for the man and gave him
2o bucks. I know that may sound stupid but this guy
looked right out of a J. Crew catalog and those Long
Island I drank.
The man took down our hotel and promised to get
back to me the next day to pay me back a whopping
$100. The guy never followed through on his word. I
trusted him and where did it get me? Twenty dollars
in the hole, that's where. My friends have yet to let
me live this down (just ask me about "Moron Money)
I find it truly sad that this man's actions have so
changed my outlook on people. I don't trust many
people anymore and for that alone, I hope that man
ODs on the crack he bought with my money.
Some obviously needy guy came up to me down-
town the other week and I damn near hit the man. It
just made me furious. How sad is it that you cannot
trust anyone anymore? What ever happened to hon-
esty? Maybe it's just a sign of the times but for my
sanity's sake, I hope not.

How Miccah feels about everything
really necessary to keep three wildly expensive con-
struction projects going on simultaneously? Am I just
being idealistic when I dream of a time when every-
body will be happy with the way things are?
1 wonder how many T-shirts the average college
student collects over a four-year period. I've noticed
how easily we students are manipulated by offers of
free T-shirts from banks and credit card companies.
Heck, our own school even uses our insatiable lust
for free T-shirts to aid its own ends. I mean, who would
go to those wacky pool parties if not for the shirts? I
sure wouldn't! But just to bolster my argument, I'll
admit that I not only hurled my body into icy waters
at the SRC Polar Bear jump for a T-shirt, I also did it
again for a second one!
I'm convinced that we're all subjects in some
twisted Pavlovian experiment designed to condition
us to perform for T-shirts, as a way of strengthening
our cotten-based economy. But when I think really hard
about it, my brain starts to hurt! I rest my case.

Lila Idso said goodbye to
Barbie, but hello to more than

Saturday Idso auctioned off

doll accessories she'd collected
over the last 20 years with her
daughter, proceeds from the
seven-hour auction will help
Idso buy a. new car, pay living
expenses and set up a trust for
her grandson.
The auction had no diffi-
culty attracting customers. Bids
came in from as far away as Cali-
fornia and Florida, e-mailed in
from Switzerland, phoned in
from Japan and more than 100
people showed up to bid in per-
son.
Idso and her daughter,
Bonnie, had searched garage
sales, estate sales and dolt shows
to build their collection.
Sometimes they scored big.
At a West St. Paul estate sate,
. they paid $15 for a new Barbie
; Midnight Color Magic, still in
; its box with tiny bags of hair
; dye. It brought in 51,900 at the
i auction.
Despite the profits, Idso said
; it was tough to part with her col-
' lection.
"We still like Barbie and hate

Internships bring real world knockin'
Co-op experience ups

STAFF WRITER
Getting a job after college is al-
ways a trying and frustrating pro-
cess. But the Cooperative Education
Program is a good way to get a head
start in finding a job in your area of
specialty.
"Cooperative education is an
academic program that assists stu-
dents in finding career related
work said Lafry Donley, a coop-
erative education coordinator and
education specialist.

for The East Carolinian, (photo by Emily

There are numerous internships
available out there for all different
fields of study.
Donley says that it is definitely
an advantage to have an internship
on your resume.
"The number one question em-
ployers ask prospective employees
is do you have work experience?"
Donley said. "Cooperative educa-
tion allows students to get that work
experience
For Tiffany Norton and Paul
Tucker, the Cooperative Education
Program was exactly what they
needed.
"My adviser recommended that
I complete at least one internship
and 1 ended up doing two Norton
said.
While she completed both of
her internships as a graduate stu-
dent, she recommends that most
students complete them during
undergraduate study.
"Doing an internship around
junior or senior year would be the
most beneficial because it will help
with your core classes in your ma-
jor
Tucker, a decision sciences
major, got involved by going to
the weekly cooperative education
meetings and talking with Mr.
Donley. He has been working in
technical support for the City of
Greenville.
"I would recommend this to
anyone who is looking for work
in their field of study. It's a great
opportunity Tucker said.
James Westmoreland works on a
different side of cooperative educa-
tion. He is involved with the Office
of Career Services.
"We want students to do intern-

helpful for students to have found

North Carolina Symphony fiddles around for kids
Orchestral group participates

FEATURES EDITOR
In 1932, the North Carolina Sym-
phony was founded by Pulitzer Prize-win-
ning composer Lamar Stringfield. In 2000,
the internationally renowned perfor-
mance group is known for its mastery of
music as well as its active participation in
the musical education of the children of
North Carolina.
The North Carolina Symphony will
perform five pieces from its classical se-
lections on Sunday, Jan. 23.
"We perform really great music from
the 'A' list said associate conductor Wil-
liam Henry Curry. "Because we only come
to Greenville onceor twice a year, we don't
have time for experimental or music on
the fringe of the repertoire
The program begins with Beethoven's
Overture to Coriolan, Op. 62. The over-
ture was inspired by a play that bears the
same title. ?
"Beethoven is featured often because
his work is considered to be an integral
part of the classical repertoire Curry said.
"Everything is dramatic and turbulent
Mozart's Symphony No. 41 in C ma-
jor, K. 551, is a more serious piece by
Mozart, and according to Curry, it is the
most epic and greatest symphony he ever
wrote. Mozart was 32 when he wrote it,
and died less than three years later.
The third selection, Claude Debussy's
"Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun is a
contrast musically to the first two.
"This was the moment when modern
music was born Curry said. "Debussy

ferent mood and scene. Debussy's mu-

sionists. It has a transparent, ethereal, dream-
like feel. It is a lazy afternoon type of feel-

Also included will be selections from
Prince Igor and "Night in Mexico
This program is eagerly anticipated by
Greenville's music lovers, and also by Pitt
County's educators. In conjunction with the
Pitt County Chapter of the North Carolina
Symphony, the musicians have the opportu-
nity to involve children in the music.
"We actually raise the money to bring
them here said Louise Toppin, president of
the Pitt County Chapter of the North Caro-
lina Symphony.
"Three years ago, the symphony was ready
to pull out of Greenville
It costs between $30,000 and $50,000 to
bring the symphony and its educational pro-
gram to Greenville. The educational program
has been active since 1943 when a bill, known
as the 'horn tooting bill was passed. The
North Carolina Legislature funded a small por-
tion of the total costs for the educational pro-
grams in North Carolina. The communities
were expected to do the rest.
"Generous contributions, both business
and private, in addition to the ticket sales,
fund the symphony Toppin said. "People
don't realize the important connection be-
tween the symphony and the music educa-
tion program
In August, the pieces are announced to the
music education teachers.
"Kids are prepared over the course of the

Beaman, with the full support of
owner Christina Pagniacci
(Cameron Diaz), threatens to tear
up the fiber that holds the team to-
gether. The team is in crisis during
Its best season in years, and every
member of the all-star cast has to
deal with their own problems.
Emotions run high in this
movie, both on and off the field.
Football is an intense game from the
stands, but from the field, it is in-
describable Although there is no
place for fear or hesitation in foot-
ball, Beaman becomes so intimi-
dated by the size of the opposition
that he vomits before taking the ball
every game. Toward the end of the
season, this becomeshis trademark.

from page 6
From a novice's perspective, I
thought the players and their inter-
actions were presented superbly,
and I felt as if I was watching a true
professional football team go
through one season.
The movie is three hours long,
and I sincerely doubt that it mer-
ited that much time. During the fi-
nal game, I was ready to leave be-
cause I knew what was going to hap-
pen, or so I thought. The end of
"Any Given Sunday" holds a sur-
prising twist, and because of the in-
tensity and tastefully added special
effects, it was worth staying the full

Jordan joins Wizards
NBA great Michael Jordan will join the NBA's
Washington Wizards as the President of Basketball
operations. Jordan will have an option to buy the
team. He should take over before the trading dead-
line on February 24th.
Last year, Jordan tried to become part owner of
the Charlotte Hornets. The deal was nixed after cur-
rent owner George Shinn wouldn't relinquish control
of the team.
Jeter close to

"Eventually I'll get a long term deal Jeter said.
"Hopefully it will be sooner rather than later. It's out of
my hands. We'll see what happens. It's just a matter
of time Jeter said.

Men's basketball falls to American, George Mason
Pirates lose three
conference games in a row
Susanne Milenkevich
SENIOR WRITER
ECU dropped two games in Colonial Athletic
Association play over the weekend to make it three
loses in a row after a five game winning streak.
"We are more up beat now (after three loses) than
when we had the other losing streak senior forward
Neil Punt said. "We know we can be successful
The Pirates traveled to American Saturday to face
the Eagles who had hot beaten ECU since the 1997-
98 season.
American opened the game with a bucket that
gave the Eagles a lead they would maintain until the
second half.
ECU went scoreless in the first 7:35 of the game
when Punt sank a deuce that pulled the Pirates within
five with the score at 7-2.
The Pirates ended the first half shooting just 36
percent but entered the locker room down by five
with the score at 28-23 in favor of the Eagles.
"We were fortunate to be down just five points at
the half said Bill Herrion, first year head coach. "We
should have been down by 25 at the half. We had 10
turnovers in each half, which we can't do and still
put ourselves in a position to win. Today we were
challenged and we didn't have anybody step up
ECU opened the second half with a 16-8 run that
gave the Pirates its first lead of the game at 41-40.
The Eagles followed the Pirate run with an 11-0 run
of their own to fake a 12-point lead with 5:19 left in
the game.
ECU pulled within five but the Eagles sealed their
72-?4 victory with free throws down the stretch.
American outshot the Pirates completing 46 percent
to ECU'S 42 percent while ECU out rebounded their
opponent for'the 15th time this season out of 16
games.
"I thought we had played well the previous two
weeks but the last two games it seems as though we
have fallen back to where we were before Christmas
Herrion said. "We have to try to get it straightened
out
The loss was the second straight for the Pirates
(7-9, 2-3 CAA) after coming off of a five game win-
ning streak.
ECU then matched up with defending CAA tour-
nament champion George Mason, Monday, in more
CAA action where the Pirates gave up their third game
in a row, 75-66.
The Pirates held tight throughout the game as
neither team had more than a five point lead until
the final minutes of the game.
ECU'S senior guard Garrett Blackwelder gave the
Pirates a 56-54 lead with 6:21 left in the game when
Travis Holcomb-Faye looks to pass against Richmond, (photo by Garrett McMillan)
center Alphons van Ireland was called for a foul on
George Mason's following possession and Herrion was
called for a technical foul.
The Patriots capitalized on the call that lead to a
6-0 run by George Mason.
"The first thing I did in the locker room was apolo-
gize to our basketball team for the technical foul
Herrion said. "It hurt our team. Our guys played hard
tonight. They did everything we asked them to do and
we were in a position to win the basketball game
Punt felt otherwise about the call.
"I don't think the technical had any affect on our
loss Punt said. "We were in the game the whole time,
even after the technical
Blackwelder stepped up with a three that helped
the Pirates cut the Patriot lead to one before George
Mason went on a nine point run to take a 10- point
lead before finishing the Pirates.
ECU came out of the game with 13 three-point
buckets (28 attempts) that tied the school record for
three-pointers in a game.
Blackwelder also set a personal mark with a career
high 30 points which were the most points a Pirate
has scored in a game since Lester Lyons scored 33
points against Old Dominion in the 1991-92 season.
ECU, now 7-10,2-4 CAA, will take to the court this
Saturday at 2 p.m. when they play host to UNC-
Wilmington.

ECU's track teams face many changes
Pirates hope to reap
benefits of new track
Stephen Schramm
SPORTS EDITOR
Damon Davis looks to continue ECU'S sprint dominance, (file
photo)
This year's ECU men's and women's track teams will
be the first to use the school's new track. The new track
that surrounds Bunting field replaced the worn and
hard old one that many felt hindered both the athletes
and the program.
"When we used to recruit with the old track, every-
thing would be going fine until we took the kid out to
see the track; it would be like a time bomb said Bill
Carson, head coach for the men's team. "Now we can
go out and show the kids the track and they can leave
here with a positive feeling
The new track should keep the athletes in better
shape.
"It is much needed. We haven't had a new track in
a while and it should cut down on injuries said jun-
ior Rasheca Barrow.
"It's much softer, so we should be less prone to in-
jury said senior Lynn Stewart.
However, the new track did not come without a
price. The track was laid down during the fall semester.
Construction on the project was not completed until
December. Thus, the teams were unable to practice on
a track. They spent much of the fall working on their
strength and running on grass. The lack of traditional
Mauresmo upset at Aussie Open
1999 Australian Open finalist Amelie Mauresmo

14th seed Dominique van Roost. Lindsey Davenport,
4th seed Mary Pierce, 8th seed Amanda Coetier, 9th
seed Julie Halard Decougis all advanced, while 5th
seed Nathalie Tauziat lost in what she said would be
her final Australian Open.
Misty Home lends experience to WZMB
Injured guard to

SPORTS EDITOR
Misty Home's senior season was
lot turning out exactly as she had
loped. Following reconstructive
cnee surgery over the summer, and
i nasty bout with tonsillitis that
aused her to miss the first week of
:lasses, Home decided not to play
ler final season for the ECU
vomen's basketball team.
"I made the decision not to play
efore practice Home said. "I
lidn't want to risk my health
"We missed her, she is an im-
jortant part of the team said Head
-oach Dee Gibson.
Misty Home averaged 7.2 points per
game in her Pirate career (file photo)
Faced with a season spent on
the bench, Home has found an-
other way to participate. She has
decided to lend her three years of
experience in ECU'S basketball pro-
gram and her knowledge of the
game to WZMB and their coverage
of Lady Pirate basketball.
"We figured, it was her senior
year and she wasn't really doing
anything but sitting on the bench,
preparing the team and pumping
up the players said Bob Smith,
WZMB general manager and play-
by-play announcer. "We thought it
was kind of a good way to give back
for her career at ECU and it's been
a great fit for us
"I asked Coach Gibson and she
thought it would be fun Home
said.

training worries the coaches.
"It was a tough fall for us Carson said. "The new
track was a long time coming. It was a little late. For
me, I'm behind. 1 couldn't practice the way I wanted
to, spiking up every day. But I think we're in pretty
good shape. I don't think we have the sprint speed
yet and I don't think we will run fast for a period
Some of the runners think the training methods
will benefit them in the long run.
"Actually, I think it was good said senior Lynn
Stewart. "We had to focus on strength and not just
speed. I think it will keep us from peaking too early
The new track wasn't the only major change in
the track program. This summer, long-time women's
track and cross-country coach, Charles "Choo" Jus-
tice, stepped down. Replacing him is former Assistant
Coach Matt Munson.
"Well it's going to be different, it's going to be a
change said junior Marshari Williams.
Munson coached under Justice last season, after a
stint as an assistant at Columbia. Munson worked
mostly with the throwers and sprinters last season.
"He pretty much has the same role as last year,
only now he has more administrative duties Barrow
said.
