" Founders Day is a per- fect way for the university to remember its roots said Kris Smith, coordinator of the event. "It shows us where we started and how far we've come Founders Day marks the day in 1907 when the Gen- eral Assembly of North Caro- lina created the institution then known as East Carolina Teachers' Training School. The anniversary celebra- tion traditionally concen- trates on a particular theme. The focus of this year's cel- ebration was on the Cam- paign for Bast Carolina Schol- ars, a fund-raising effort to in- crease student scholarships at the university. In past years Founders Day has centered on ECU'S historical development. Last year the celebration revolved around the development of Joyner Library and various art works around the building. "I think that for a univer- sity to grow at the rate ours is and to maintain a quality en- vironment, the institution must have the financial re- sources to attract the best pos- sible students said Dr. Tho- mas Durham, chair of the fac- ulty segment of the scholars campaign.

Senior Brian Lamartin, Labus' boy- friend, alleges that more evidence about the collision has been uncov- ered. Lamartin said he learned from of- ficials examining physical evidence that Bradley Beatty, the driver of the other vehicle involved, was driving without his lights on when he struck Labus' vehicle as she ran through a stop sign at the intersection. According to Melissa Bartlett of the Greenville Police Department (GPD), no additional charges have been filed in the case other than the previous DWI charge. According to the Greenville Police Department (GPD) report, Beatty was charged with a DWI after blowing a 0.16 during a breathalyzer test. The re- port also said that he was traveling at 40 mph in a 25-mph zone. The police are waiting for the re- sults of a toxicology report on Labus to determine whether she was intoxi- cated at the time of the collision. Bartlett said it will take six to eight weeks for the report to return from FBI headquarters in Raleigh. Lamartin said the public should be aware of what he says are the facts sur- rounding the accident. "She was with her friends study- ing and was on her way home Beatty was driving without his lights on Lamartin said. "She Labus never saw him coming Lamartin said the family is plan- ning to file a civil suit against Beatty. "I will be there Lamartin said.

While at lunch with her students, one of the children began choking on her sandwich. Adam quickly administered the Heimlich maneuver to the girl and the sandwich be- came dislodged. "It was a frightening experience and ev erything happened so quick, but 1 had to do something Adam said. The child was shaken by the incident but was unhurt. "Coincidentally, the girl's parents were having dinner that night with a friend that was a doctor and they ensured the child's welfare Adam said. The child's parents wrote a letter to ECU praising the education department and Ms. Adam. "They thanked us for placing Erin in that particular classroom because she saved their child's life said Patricia Anderson, the uni- versity supervisor of Erin's internship. Anderson said she feels Erin is a natural born teacher. "She knew exactly what to do without thinking about it which is great because, as a teacher, it's important to be prepared at all times concerning all issues Adam said that the experience did not scare her away from teaching. "I love kids and relate I relate with them very well Adam said. "Growing up with my little sisters has also contributed to my in- terest in children Adam said that she is grateful to the ECU education department. "As a student of the program, you ben- eflt from its teachings at an early stage Isophomore yearl, therefore it gives you time to decide if this is what you really want to do Adam is in the process of earning her teaching degree and is currently student- teaching third graders.

ACROSS OTHER CAMPUSES North Carolina State University-Research pro- grams of national significance are being conducted here on the North Carolina State University cam- pus. On NCSU's Centennial Campus, university aca- demic research programs are interacting with a pri- vate industry to provide solutions to some of industry's biggest challenges. One NCSU professor and his team of under- graduate students are changing the way we view statistical data. Chris Healey, assistant professor in computer science, and his team are using a stereo- graphic presentation to present statistical data in a visual way. "We are looking at ways to display many layers of information simultaneously Healey said. Normally, when people try to visualize data, they usually can only incorporate three variables in a 3- dimensional model. The classic example is the weather map, which contains three dimensions: height, latitude and longitude. However, variables such as temperature, wind velocity, wind direction and weather systems appear flat on the screen of the 3-D model, according to team members. The question that Healey and his team are evaluating is how to present the interaction of multiple variables of information in 3-D, in a coherent, visual man- ner. Healey's research was initiated by colleagues at UC-Berkley. They wanted to view 20-30 variables of information about a large movie database, simul- taneously in a visual manner. Healey and his team are using what is referred to as a "responsive work- bench" to provide the visual presentation of the data. Designed like a drafting table, this workbench consists of a 44-inch screen with a high-resolution backlit projector. This projector is similar to ones found in certain lecture rooms here on campus. However, the quality of the image resolution seen on the workbench is far better than what you would obtain on a screen that is intended for 200 people to view. This hardware costs about $60,000 and as Healey states, "Very few academic depart- ments in the country have access to the responsive workbench Associated with this piece of hardware, is the visual stereo component. This consists of computer software designed with the ability to draw images as if they were floating in space rather than lying flat on a screen. "You think you can reach out and grab compo- nents off the display Healey said. In addition to the software, special viewing glasses are used that work to produce 60 images per second for both the left and right eyes. Essentially, these glasses utilize the same concept as traditional 3-D glasses, by producing separate images for each eye. An image is produced for the left eye, while the right eye is blocked from viewing and vice versa. Therefore, 120 images are produced each second in a 3-D layout. As Borwick points out, "This is much more realistic than 3-D glasses As innovative as the concept behind this re- search is, the most interesting fact is that Healey is using undergraduate students to help with the re- search. "1 think this is a very good example of under- graduates participating in research Borwick said. "I am always trying to expand my knowledge in computer science. I wanted to get more involved into the mathematics behind computer science Indeed, the vision of Centennial Campus was to provide a center for academic research and in- dustry to interact with each other. Healey's research 4s another example of this vision achieving its goal. Ohio UNow that warm weather has hit, credit card companies will be hounding students between classes, promising low rates and free gifts. Do stu- dents know what they are really getting into? The answer may be debt. Statistics from Nellie Mae, a national student loan provider, show that credit card debt among under- graduates applying for loans is high. The thought of having a credit card sounds good, but students might buy things they can not afford and wind up in debt. Ohio University senior John Ploehs understands the negative consequences of having a credit card. Last year, he applied for a credit card from one of the promoters, Uptown. "I bought a lot of things I couldn't afford Ploehs said. He said he eventually surpassed the spending limit on his credit card and did not pay the mini- mum payment amounts. After Ploehs let his debt get too high, he had to tell his parents. "I told my mom I was several hundred dollars in debt he said. "She wrote the check out right there and we cut up the credit card Sixty percent of University undergraduates and 96 percent of graduate students have credit cards, and Ploehs' problem is not uncommon. So why do credit card companies make it so easy for college students to get their cards? "College students are targeted by credit card com- panies so they can establish brand loyalty for years to come they are looking to secure business early said Allen Blair, director of Credit Management at Nellie Mae. Sean Healy, Visa's vice president of corporate re- lations, said although only a small portion of cardholders are college-aged, people in this age group generally maintain good credit limits and payment habits. These characteristics are what make students the target of advertisement. "Visa uses direct mailers and fliers to get the word out about our card Healy said. "What draws stu- dents is the combination of physical presence and marketing materials Visa also attempts to keep its college cardholders in financial stability. "We invest in a lot of resources such as financial education programs to help students stay financially savvy Healy said. The United States Student Association, a national group dedicated to serving students and their inter- ests, runs a program called CreditWise with MasterCard. The program's goal is to educate col- lege students about credit cards and debt. USSA sta- tistics report that 86 percent of college students pay their own credit card bills. Also, 59 percent of stu- dents report paying their credit card balances in full each month compared to 40 percent of the general population, contrary to Nellie Mae's statistics. Blair said the promotion of credit cards to col- lege-age students does not contribute to debt in members of that age group. "We're not promoting that students misuse their credit cards or that students shouldn't have credit cards Blair said. "We're hoping to raise awareness to possible misuse of credit cards and the conse- quences Specialty stores are also attempting to educate their young cardholders. "Express has student programs available, which allows students to earn a credit history said Dia Hollenbeck, Express's national public relations di- rector. "College students are in our target age group, so we want to educate them to enhance our sales and their worthiness as a credit card holder she said. Mark A.

Prosecutors say they must throw out thousands of cases so they can focus on the most serious and easiest to prove. In fact, Charlotte has fewer prosecutors than any other U.S. city of comparable size, and prosecutors dis- miss a higher percentage of charges than their coun- terparts in every other urban county in North Caro- lina. More than half of all felony cases police bring are not pursued, and four of five alleged rapes and two of three reported robberies never make it to court. "I believe this is malfeasance of office by the Gen- eral Assembly that they allow this community to con- tinue to be victimized because of a lack of resources said former Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Chief Den- nis Nowicki. "I think it's criminal. 1 wish they could be sued by the next victim One criminal, Antoine Thrasher, 28, is serving a 22- year sentence for accessory to murder and a series of armed robberies. But this is only his second time in prison, even though he has been charged with about 50 crimes, including murder, armed robbery and kid- napping over 10 years. Prosecutors threw out most of the charges. "I beat them at their own game he said. "The sys- tem is easy to beat Many suspects in Mecklenburg County often go on to victimize others. More than 2,100 suspects have been arrested for felonies five or more times since 1990. More than 150 of them have been arrested 10 or more times, the Char- lotte Observer reported Sunday. Meanwhile, Mecklenburg's violent crime rate- nearly 1,500 offenses per 100,000 people in 1998-re- mains, by far, the state's highest. "We're sending the message that this is the place to come if you want to get away with it said Judy Will- iams, co-founder of Mothers of Murdered Offspring. Mecklenburg police and prosecutors say they'd have more success fighting crime if the General Assembly provided the needed resources. But some former court officials question whether District Attorney Peter Gilchrist makes the best possible use of his staff. For every 10,000 major crimes reported to police, Mecklenburg has just eight prosecutors, fewer than all other North Carolina cities. Given the county's slim staffing, prosecutors do a "damn good job Gilchrist said. "You can't make clothing if you don't have cloth he said. Parents angry at AOL after child of 11 runs up $3,190 toll bill SHAWNEE, Kan. (AP)- Eleven-year-old Lilly Colclasure's parents are angry. With a long-distance bill of almost $3,200 for a little over a month, that's understandable. But they're not upset with Lilly for running up the bill while using America Online. They're angry with the com- pany, which they say prompted their daughter to log in to serv- ers requiring toll calls. AOL, meanwhile, says they should have been watching their daughter more closely. And the phone companies just want their money. Lilly signed up for an ac- count in early December. When she gave her area code as 913- the code for the Kansas side of the Kansas City metropolitan area-AOL's software offered her only three telephone numbers for access to the service. One was in Leavenworth, two in Wichita-both long dis- tance from Shawnee. But Lilly didn't know that, and she used the numbers more than 320 times in 37 days between Dec. 4 and Jan. 9. "She knows all about computers, but she doesn't know about long- distance numbers said her mother, Patty Colclasure. Rich D'Amato, an AOL spokes- man, questioned how the problem occurred. He said AOL offers sub- scribers telephone numbers in the 913, 316 and 816 area codes when someone in the 913 area asks for a number. When told it didn't do that for the Coldasures or on a computer at a Kansas City Star reporter's home, he said, "That doesn't describe what should be the user's experience When the phone bill arrived, Colclasure said she thought it was a mistake. "I thought this must be a Y2K thing she said, estimating that the family's average long distance bill is around $10 per month. "I bought a 1986 Honda Accord for $3,500 last year. They're want- ing almost a car she said. But D'Amato said the service isn't responsible for the bill. "We repeatedly caution mem- bers they need to check with the local phone company to ensure that the number they have chosen is lo- cal for their calling plan and area he said. And if children don't under- stand the concept of toll calls, D'Amato said, it's up to their par- ents to explain it to them. "As more and more kids are set- ting up these things, we recom- mend that parents participate in every stage he said. The solution: Customers on the Kansas side have to know to key in Missouri's 816 area code and look tor a Kansas City number. AOIs modem pool for the area is in the 816 area. Lilly wasn't the only young cus- tomer from the Kansas side to make a long-distance mistake in recent months. Thirteen-year-old Brian Fitzpatrick, of Overland Park, couldn't access America Online when 10-digit dialing began in the metro area on Dec. 4. He asked for access numbers from 913 and was given three numbers in Wichita and one in Leavenworth. He chose the Leavenworth number, also not realizing it was a toll call, and racked up $290 in toll charges with Southwest- ern Bell before the bill arrived. "We got the bill and just about fainted said his father, J. Kevin Fitzpatrick. AOL has not offered to reim- burse either family for its ex- penses. AT&T spokeswoman LeAnn Kuster said the long distance company would work with the Colclasure family for extended payments but would not waive the charges. "It's incumbent on the cus- tomer to know how to set up the service she said. And Southwestern Bell also has not offered to waive the Fitzpatrick family's bill. "We do advise customers to go back to them the Internet service provider) and make ar- rangements to get reimbursed or whatever spokeswoman Ellen Pantaenius said.

Bush benefitted from strong support among tradi- tional Republicans who made up the bulk of the Maine GOP primary electorate Tuesday, mirroring the strength he had displayed previ- ously within his core constituency. But likewise building on a pre- Super Tuesday trend, an insurgent challenge by Sen. John McCain of Arizona was buoyed by the backing of voters characterizing themselves as independent, according to the results of an exit poll by Voter News Service for The Associated Press and television networks. Exit polling around the state found Bush claiming about three- fifths of the votes cast by self-de- scribed Republicans, who comprised two-thirds of Tuesday's turnout in the GOP contest. McCain won a similar share of the independents, who accounted for the remaining third of the Re- publican primary voters. Of regis- Compute This! An HHOpen' Custom Computer � including One year of Internet Service withGeeksnet � ' 1 www.geeksnet.com eeksnet tered independents who actually enrolled as Republicans on Tuesday to vote, McCain took about three out of four. In the state's Democratic pri- mary, Vice President Al Gore was heavily favored by voters express- ing strong Democratic affiliation by far the largest bloc. Former Sen. Bill Bradley of New Jersey led among those characterizing themselves as independent. In seeking a majority that would claim all 14 of Maine's national con- vention delegates, Bush ran strongly among voters who identified with the so-called religious right. Th6se voters, making up no more than a one-fifth sliver of total primary turnout, aligned with Bush by better than two-thirds. "He's more conservative said 34-year-old Kerri Foster, a Bush voter in Augusta. "I'm a Christian, so I'm looking more for the conser- vative McCain, meanwhile, held an edge approaching 3-1 among vot- ers who supported at least one of Ross Perot's presidential efforts in 1992 and 1996. Both times, Maine was the Re- form Party founder's best state. McCain's history as a prisoner of war in Vietnam is well known, but resulted in no special standing amongvoting veterans. Three in 10 GOP voters Tuesday were veterans and they split roughly evenly be- tween Bush and McCain. Gore, contesting Bradley for 23 national delegates being awarded proportionately in Maine on Tues- day, was the choice of Democrats for whom experience was a desirable quality in a candidate. "I think he's the most compe- tent, and I think he has a good chance of winning said Gore voter Charles Carpenter, 74, as he left the polls at Augusta City Hall. Independents had been an es- sential ingredient in McCain's un- derdog candidacy and they played a prominent role in shaping Tuesday's outcome in Maine. Four years ago, those non-tradi- tional Republican voters made up not quite one-fifth of GOP primary voters in the state. OrvTuesday, self- styled independents provided aboyt one-third of the primary votes. The results were from a sample of 427 Republican voters and 283 Democratic voters interviewed by VNS in 25 randomly selected pre- cincts around Maine. The margin of error due to sampling was plus or minus 6 percentage points on the Republican side and plus Or miniis 8 percentage points on the Demo- cratic side, greater for subgroups per month KESWICK" APARTMENTS Facilities s fmv wit raM In COMPUTER GEEKSvw� The people who know computers!

Shake those winter blues and let yourself temporarily forget about all those term pa- pers you have waiting to be written when you get back. It's a beau- tiful thing. As you and your friends pack up your bathing suits, lawn chairs and coolers to find your sunny spot on the beach, make sure you don't lose all that good sense you've acquired over the years. If you're planning to party MTV-style, make sure you drink plenty of water while you're out on the beach. Those.pretty strawberry daiquiris and pina coladas won't keep you from getting dehydrated. Sunscreen is always a good idea, especially if you don't want to end up looking like Magda, the leathery old sunbaked neighbor from "There's Something About Mary in your later years. If your hotel or that other party isn't within walking distance and you've been drinking get a taxi, a sober friend, o to give you a ride. You won't be sorry-it is always worth the temporary inconvenience it may pose. The most important things, however, are to relax, have fun and unwind. It's no secret that Spring Break is what ensures the sanity of college students everywhere. Take pictures, make sand castles and party like a rock star. Don't bring your text books with you; this is your week. Read something that you've been meaning to read but never seem to find the time. Make this Spring Break so good that it sustains you all the way through April and into May when you'll be studying for those final exams. So as the longest week known to college students finally comes to an end, we at TEC would like to wish you all a fun, memorable and safe vacation. Demosthenes STAFF WRITER The word wine descends from the Latin word vino. Wine as a beverage descends from millen- nia of revelry and merriment. As a fine art and craft, wine holds a special place in any dinning experience. As a means of intoxication, it serves its purpose at festivals and celebrations. The Greeks understood the beauty of wine best, I think, as they drank constantly and held massive festivals in honor of Dionysus, the god of wine and revelry. The Romans then carried on this tradition with their own version-Bacus. It is wonderful that these powerful civilizations could incorporate such massive celebration into their structure. Now, for a practical understanding of wine in our lives. I will present a bit of information to help you along. Please keep in mind that I am no wine guru, just a humble columnist trying to spread some love of wine. Wine comes from grapes duh But, it is the variety of grape combined with the essences of the land on which it is grown, as well as the fermentation process, that gives a wine its dis- tinctive flavor. For example, a cabernet sauvignon and a merlot, which are both red, are made from dif- ferent red grapes. A chardonay is made from heavier white grapes, while a white zinfandel, the bastard child of wine (sorry to all those white zin lovers out there), will be made from a blend of whatever kinds of grapes are around. To keep it simple let's use a scale: 1-5 (like the tornado or hurricane scales) for force of fla- vor. From light to heavy we have: sauvignon blanc, chardonay, chiraz, merlot and cabernet sauvignon. Say you are eating a seafood dinner. You want to pick a wine that fits the flavor scale of your meal, and more importantly, accentuates it. Once again, for simplicity: cabernet with steak, chiraz with spicy food, merlot with tomato saute, sauvignon blanc with mild chicken dishes and chardonay with seafood. I have mad respect for the wine connoisseurs, experts and growers out there because it is truly a worthy art form. The wine buzz is something not to be missed for its euphoric qualities arid especially for its health properties. The old say- ing, "an apple a day keeps the doctor away should be applied to wine for its miraculous work- ings on the circulatory system. I ask you: Why is heart disease the number one killer in this country? The answer�becaujse people don't drink enough wine, among other things. The French eat much fattier foods than Americans, yet they are on the opposite end of the heart-disease scale. Is it because they exer cise all day to stay fit? No, it is because they have a constant stream of wine flowing through their; system thinning out their blood and dissolving plaque on arterial walls. I offer up this praise of wine to living well and feeling fine. So, drink a little here and there, ex- pand your palate and be aware. Play with wine, it brings delight, and revel long into the night in true Dyonisian fashion, until we meet again. This writer can be contacted at demosthenes@studentmedia.ecu.edu. OPINION COLUMN Forget school; Spring Break's just around the corner Chris Sachs OPINION WRITER OPINION COLUMN Wake me when it's over Mark Larado POLITICAL COLUMNIST What I don't get about this year's election is that the media is trying to make the Republican race the race to watch. After Super Tuesday's results, John McCain had just as many victories as a basketball team from the University of Helen Keller (or ECU's team, take your pick). And speaking of a blow out, Bill Bradley last night �had a better chance of making it back into the NBA than becoming president. Although, if Bra- dley was to rejoin the Knicks, he could help out big because the Knicks suck as bad as a two- dollar Vietnamese whore with braces (believe me, I know). These political blow outs are the reason why nobody is really paying any attention to'this election, especially young people. 1 too am a young person, even though it says I'm 35 on my fake ID, and I think this election needs to be spiced up enough so I can watch it more often than an episode of "Moesha So I came up with a few suggestions for the election that I think would help the average television viewer enjoy this political race. My first idea is "The Presidential Blame Game This is about the two prime candidates who sit in big comfy chairs while really vapid, really obnoxious, "lawyers" try to win over a voting audience who'll pin the blame on the candidate who has the worst political policy. During one part of the show the two candidates come down to the front of the audience for a segment called "You Did It, Now Admit It Each candidate asks the other five vague questions about things he has done in the past that may corrupt his political platform. If one candidate beats the other by correctly admitting the most past wrong-doings, the winning candidate will be able to have his witness to his character tes- tify on his behalf. One segment could go like this: Gore: "Bill Bradley, I know you liked "veg- etables" in college. What is in your Vegetation Digestion file?" Bradley (hitting a bell before him making a "ding" sound): "I admit it, I smoked weed in col- lege Judge: "That is correct. Now Bill, it's your turn to ask a question Bradley: "Now Al, I heard you are quite a bore What is in your Petrified Style file?" Gore (hitting a bell before him making yet another "ding" sound): "I admit it, I once was in a trance didn't move from an upright position for three days Judge: "Sorry Al, that's incorrect. We were look- ing for the fact that a lumber jack almost acci- dentally cut you down while you were at a con- ference in Oregon I think that show has potential, but it's too talky. I'm a man, and other than naked breasts, men like me need violence. So that is why I came up with this show, "World's Scariest Presidential Candidate Arrests Basically it's a two-hour long show depicting real footage of presidential can- didates being arrested for various crimes. Like G.W. Bush's run-ins with the law when he was in a fraternity at Yale, or that time Al Gore got pulled over for doing 37 in a 35 (oh no, he's a wild one). These two presidential candidates only take 15 minutes of the show's time, the rest of the two hours is dedicated to every Kennedy foul-up. And believe me, we had to edit it or else it would be a mini-series. Finally, since game shows have made a great popular insurgence back into our modern culture, it is fitting that I should came up with the show, "Who Wants To Be In a Political Scandal? Each week contestants are on there to answer questions to win appearances in certain political scandals, like to be G.W. Bush's coke pusher or Gore's fi- nancial campaign advisor. You too can win fame fortune and political ruin. Yeah! This writer can be contacted at mlarado&studentmedia. ecu. edu. I In 1936 Harvard University was established as America's first university. Since Harvard is the oldest school, its students were the first to experience the exciting-and much needed- Spring Break. About that time, 28-year-old John Milton was beginning work on "Paradise Lost the wicked and painfully boring poem about chaos and Hell. Now, the reason that Milton wrote such a dark and creepy story was because he lost his "para- dise" by not traveling to one for Spring Break like the rest of Harvard's student body. Had he gone and blown off steam by going to Cancun and drinking cheap booze in the company of even an cheaper women, he would not have had such a rotten outlook on life. So this article is dedicated to Spring Break and all its virtues. And when I write about Milton, booze and the meaning of life, one quote by A.E. Housman comes to mind: "And malt does more than Milton can to justify God's ways to man Spring Break is the single most important week of the school year. Most people think of it as being the week of exams, but it's not. exams are a dime a dozen and can always be retaken next semester. But a good .quality Spring Break can change your life in many more ways. You get to flee from your nagging loved one, forget about school (as well as manners, morals and ethics) and act like you always wanted to in front of strange people you will never see again. There is a Fall Break every year but that time isn't as enjoyable because.the weather is too cold and everyone is still broke from paying last Spring Break's left over bills. So that means you have one week to raise as much hell as possible, and you may not live through it-so make it a good one. So grab your guns, money and law- yers; we're going to Babylon! Where to go for Spring Break? It should be warm, cheap and far away. Mexico is fun, and so is "God's waiting room Florida, but a much less expensive and more memorable vacation could ! be achieved if you have a sense of adventure. I recommend El Salvador, Cuba or Somalia. You I will meet friendly people, eat new and interest- ing food (except for in Somalia) and the locals jails are loads of fun. Make sure to read up ol& the local customs and have plenty of extra casjv to bribe cops, boarder patrols and to pay fq�' emergency flights out of the country. What to do when you get to your destination The first thing to do when your plane lands isC find the nearest bar. Ask the first taxi driver that pesters you to take you to the best tavern and! pay for him to wait for you. If you chose the righc country, a six-hour wait will only cost you abouir; three pesos, about 1283 of a penny. But the&C will be well compensated as they drive yourj drunken carcass to the hotel and then steal yolirj luggage. When to leave? As soon as you are done read ing this article. Actually, if you are a Spring Break J expert, you will have skipped class and wouldn't; be here reading this-you would already be on a j plane. Who to bring? Friends that always get you to . do the stupidest things when you are drunk. They ; will watch out for your well being and are great - for taking pictures of you being hauled off to jail. '� Never bring a relative and or a significant other; no matter what. This could end in a nasty break : up and possibly a canceled wedding. And bring- � ing a boy-girlfriend will definitely be a downer on your sex life. How could you possibly have � sex with that mysterious foreign stranger with '� your loved one back at the hotel waiting for you? Now you're all set. So go forth my loyal read ers and eat, drink and be crazy. And remember the most important pan about Spring Break: It's better to spend money tonight like there is no tomorrow than to spend tomorrow like there is no money.

LETTER TO EDITOR Speier deserves thanks for positive leadership LETTER TO EDITOR Westmoreland provides professional counseling I would just like for everyone to know that we have an outstanding staff at Career Services. I have recently had an appointment with Dr. Jim Westmoreland and he was one of the most sincere individuals I have ever met. I would like to thank the university for providing such a professional and caring counselor as Dr. Westmoreland. I was very proud to have Dr. Westmoreland represent our school at the Edu- cation Career Day. His genuine care for students and his profes- sionalism can not be matched. I would highly recommend for every senior to do themselves a favor and make an appointment to see Dr. Westmoreland prior to graduation. And when you see him say, "Thanks for being here for us Thank you Dr. Westmoreland for helping me. Charlie M. Keith Senior History, Secondary Education Dear Editor, The has never been a man at ECU to touch as many lives as Dr. Ronald Speier. In the process, Dr. Speier has been a model for many of us to pattern our lives after. It was Dr. Speier who en- couraged many students to take defeat as a learn- ing experience. An experience some of us may have to draw from throughout our lives. He is a man of exceptional character who has been the biggest inspiration of my life. He taught many of us how life was about accomplishment. Accom- plishments that usually serve to fulfill regard- less of monetary rewards, or lack thereof. Dr. Ronald Speier personally gave me the strength to dust myself off after my first defeat in a leadership election. It was his personal cheers that lead me to become senior class president in 1998. Everything I did and everywhere I went, Dr. Speier's light guided me in the proper direc- tion. Fortunately, I have been one of the lucky people to receive a good portion of his knowl- edge. Knowledge he bestowed in my life will serve to protect and keep me strong throughout life. His most profound teaching to date has changed my life forever and, thus, any behavior that results will be credited to him. Dr. Speier will be credited with teaching me how wealth and prosperity of the world are not worth having if individuals morality is compromised. In a time when money rules the world, and successful alumni are the desired result, this man taught the goodness of being a human being. As mentioned earlier, without the direction of this honorable man in my life I may have never found the courage to move forward after defeat, unless I had moved forward being less of a man. This is my opportunity to thank Dr. Ronald Speier publicly for all the moments he shared with me, good and bad. You have been a wonderful dean of students, and most importantly, you have been a good role model. I will always carry your memory throughout life. I will also support you in your next endeavor, as you are the source of my own existence. Thanks for your kindness. Jonathan L.

Joe Schlatter STAFF WRITER The Carolina Ballet has a number of new faces in the company at the beginning of its second season. Its classical style and talented dancers have quickly brought both success and fame to the new performing company. Under the direction of Robert Weiss, the company's classically-based reper- . toire includes works by George Balanchine, Weiss and others. Perfor- mances include "Carmen Handel's "Messiah" and Phillip Glass's "String Quartet 5 The company has over 30 members on the roster, and 12 of them are male. In a professional company, the ratio of females to males - is typically much greater. Xavier Pont is a core member of the ballet. During his extensive training, Pont has seen ballet from an international perspective. Pont began his dance career in Spain at age 11 and started in ballet at 14. He began his rofessional training at 16 years of age, trained in London for two years and at the Houston Ballet Company for another two before coming to the Carolina Ballet where he has been since its conception. Pont points out that even though females traditionally have more role opportunities in ballet, this company provides more equal opportunities for all. "Through history, females are used more because there are more roles for them Pont said.

So when they use Wyatt's com- puter to create a stunningly beauti- ful woman; she's the answer to all of their problems. It's Saturday morning, and the mall is filled with an assortment of Greenville goodies, classics like Krispy Kreme doughnuts and newer additions, such as Tandoor Indian Cuisine. Twenty-one local venders donated a portion of their goods to raise money for the American Lung Association at The Taste of Greenville. For the past 11 years, Greenville food venders have partici- pated in The Taste of Greenville for two reasons. It is a good source of pub- licity, and the money goes back into the community. "We went so that people could sample our product said Junior Parish, manager of Krispy Kreme Doughnuts. "Most ev- eryone in Greenville has had a Krispy Kreme dough- nut, but you never know who may come in. It gives people from out of town a chance to try our food Krispy Kreme donated 25 dozen doughnuts and four dozen bagels to this event. "It goes to a good cause, and it gives people a chance to try our food Parish said. "We kill two birds with one stone Other venders who are less well-known, such as the Swiss Chalet Bakery, found the publicity that the event offered invaluable. "The Taste of Greenville can help to make people know we're here and we offer something special said Silvia Frizzelle, supervisor at Swiss Chalet Bakery. The Carolina East Mall, one of the sponsors for the event, has been helping out for the past three years. The event has grown since last year, with 21 venders in attendance compared to 16 last year. The mall also had approximately twice as many people came oui than on a typical Saturday. The event does not bring in a profit for the mall or any of the venders, but all view it as an important community event, according to Cindy Roberts, general manager at the Carolina East Mall. "We like to be considered part of the community, and we do things for the community Roberts said. "It provides a source for fund raising, and it gives the cus- tomers a chance to taste some of Greenville's food The cus- tomers who got to sample ev- erything were not the only beneficiaries. The American Lung Asso- ciation is the charity that is be- hind this event. Only $5,000 was made at the event, compared to $8,000 last year. Actording to Dawna Banks, area direc- tor for the American Lung Asso- cia tion, part of the reason for the lacking profit may be the.residual ef- fects of Floyd.

The money from the Taste of Greenville and other fund-raisers will go to help people with asthma through programs in the schools and community. One of the biggest programs that the ALA sponsors is an asthma camp in the summer. Children who would not be able to go into the woods and spend time outdoors other- wise are sent to the mountains under the care of nurses and doctors. The children come from the 27 counties in eastern North Carolina. Approximately half are from Pitt County.

He was born at Kilpatrick, near Dumbarton, in Scotland, in the year 387. Patirck drove all the snakes out of the country after being sold into slavery from his native home. He is also known for bringing Christianity to the Irish. The tradition of huge celebrations on St. Patrick's Day, March 17, reached American soil as early as 1737 in Boston, Massachusetts. Dublin, New York, and Chicago are known to host some of the wildest celebrations in honor of St. Patrick's Day. In Dublin the festivities last all weekend. This year's theme is 'Hullabaloo New York has a huge parade; 40 blocks are blocked off for the festivities. Chicago's tradition of making the Chicago River green for St. Patrick's Day is by far one of the most interesting events associated with this saint. Dying the river began in 1962 and came about because of an ecological concern. City crews had been plac- ing dye into the River to trace the source pollution discharges. The dye had the effect of turning things green. Upon this discovery Stephen Bailey, a friend of the mayor at the time, persuaded him to add 100 pounds of green vegetable dye to the river for that year's St. Patrick's Day. That was enough to keep the river green for a week. Nowadays it Just takes 40 pounds of green food coloring to keep the river green during the hours of the parade. On a more local scale, lengthv and involved St. Patrick's Day celebrations are usually reserved for grade school children delighting in pinching their classmates when they aren't wearing green. Preschool teacher Melissa Coutts didn't even realize that the holiday was such a big deal until she started teaching young children. "Well, I never thought of St. Patrick's Day as a real holiday, until Ibegan working with children Coutts said. "Now I've got to decorate the room for it. We aren't going to have a big party or any- thing, but we will have a cake East Carolina studnets and staff have different plans in mind. "1 have a special pair of green underwear that I wear every St. Patrick's Day said senior David Loliar. I end up getting pinched anyway, but it's still fun to wear them Those of the legal age tend to celebrate the day with a little more Irish style. "For St. Patrick's Day, I generally make an Irish Stew; the main ingredients are beef, onions, and Guiness Stout said professor C. W. Sullivan III. The Guiness gives it a very nice flavor " mn!? whe yo� are in the world, you're considered Irish on St. Patrick's Day, and should act accordingly, or get pinched. m $10 1931 V Re magic; Wall oppor IT w 1 Th Ac Year in ;i research ir good reasc � Easy divi managei � Solid pei � Strong o � Plus, a ful With an ex than 80 yea at over 9,0C and enjoy- Choosing y with the lea ' According to 0ALBAH, Ir pint satisfaction.

"Everything is important in an interview, there are so many differ- ent pieces to it but the greeting is very important, that initial interac- tion said Dr. James Westmoreland, director of Career Services. "A lot of times, it's just getting the name identified so it's easy to remember after you've interviewed 10 or IS people Others may think that "I think positive body language is very im- portant, for instance, sitting up straight, the interest they show in the interview, making direct eye contact and their appearance-how they present themselves in a non- verbal way said Lynn Roeder from the Center for Counseling. In the interviewing workshop at Career Services, held at 4 p.m. ev- ery Thursday, James Westmoreland says that there are five questions that are important when one is be- ing interviewed. "First tell me about yourself Westmoreland said. "Why should I hire you? What are your goals for the future? What questions do you have for me and also how to handle certain situational questions? We go over these questions in the workshop. How to make you an- swer in a way that makes you feel good about it before you get there In a job interview, there are a variety of questions that can be asked. Some of the common ones include personal questions, ques- tions about your education, ques- tions about your current experi- ences and also you career goals. Some examples of those type of questions include: Who are your role models and why? Why did you choose to attend your college or university? What did you enjoy most about your last employment? Would you be successful working in a team? There are also a variety of ques- tions you may have for the inter- viewer such as asking them to de- scribe the duties of the job for you, asking about flextime and what the usual promotional time frame is. "There are some legal matters when it comes to asking questions, you're not allowed to ask personal questions such as marriage and re- ligion said Roeder. "The informa- tion you're trying to gain is about their skills not about their personal lives There are many different uses for an interview. These uses include getting a job and research for an articles, papers or essays you might fcWri5fsMffA. mnmQ iPHdhllrim � it SILVER BULLET Doors Open: 7:30 p.m. Si Touch OfCfass" 756-6278 Dolls Stage Time: 9:00 p.m. TUESUAV Lingerie Night WEDNESDAY Ainateur Night and Silver Bullet Dancers THURSDAY Rock-N-RoU Ni�ht FR1&SAT Silver Bullet Exotic Dancer Looted 5 Ida W� of CrmnilM on K4 Aft.

"The point of an interview is to learn more about the other person Westmoreland said. Also, the idea to connect and make a good match, In terms of making the match and getting the understanding for the people is really the biggest part of a job interview because both people have something to gain from it According to Roeder, the pur- pose of an interview is to gain in- formation from someone about themselves, but then it also goes both ways. An interview provides information for both parties. Others may think that the point of an interview "is to see how aware the person is of their qualifi- cations and their communication skills said freshman Paige Lee. "Well, the preparation for this comes from talking with people in advance in different areas that you might want to go to work. For ex- ample, if you wanted to work with a bank, a lot of people think of the jobs only as managers and tellers. You don't see all of the behind the scene Jobs. So if someone were to go to a place for an interview, and say, 'tell me a little bit about the your jobs here at the bank not to the person they're going to interr view with but someone else who works at the bank, they can tell you about the bank's personality, orga- nizations and status Westmoreland said. Of course, there are other mat- ters to be considered. Being confi- dent and controlling nervousness is also a very important quality during any interview. "I think your overall presenta- tion and how you carry yourself is the most important part said ECU freshman Jennifer Asch. Giving a clean and neat appear- ance is very important. Take into consideration who is interviewing you, where you are being inter- viewed, and what type of position you have in mind. Dress for the occasion in something comfort- able. It is also vital in any interview to try making personal chemistry in any interview with the inter- viewer. You should also be moti- vated and enthusiastic. "I think that your social skills and having good humor are impor- tant to have during an interview said freshman James Laxton. It is also important to have good manners and listen well during an interview. How you present your- self can make all the difference.

That is all well and good, but the problem is jjwt my friend is coming with me. I live in a rather hftal area, and I honestly don't know what we are ' jijihg to do to keep from being bored for a week. If it were just me going home, I wouldn't worry because 1 �rj veg with my sister in front of the TV, but I don't ;8jnk that he would really enjoy that.

Personally, I just want to get away from jGieenville for a week, it wouldn't matter if I went to 5�pskie. If your friend is in his junior or senior year gtcollege, a bit of R&R may be just what he needs. J ;Is there anything better in life than eating some- ;o$e else's home-cooked food, and not having anyone 1 at you to get out of bed because you are the guest? I't think so. In the end, this will probably end up �g more of a vacation for him than you since he tnever be asked to clean the bathroom. Dear Marjorie, I am going to Cancun for vacation, but I don't have a tan. I don't even have a semblance of a tan because I have red hair and I am forever winter white. I am going to be the only woman in Cancun with a bikini on and no matching tan lines. Do you have any suggestions for how to get a tan fast? �Pigment Impaired Dear Pigment Impaired, Stop! This is not the '70s. Haven't you ever read any- thing about melanoma? It is not just an inconvenience but a deadly disease that is causing deaths among Ameri- cans both old and young. Having a tan is really your skin's way of protecting itself from the deadly UVA and UVB rays that cause these cancers. It is not a healthy glow, but rather a defense mechanism. If you still insist that you have to be tan, however, invest in a good self-tanner and a strong sunscreen. Sometimes beauty costs more than anyone should ever pay. Death is too high a cost to pay for the very tempo- rary sun-kissed bronze look. If you have any questions and queries, please contact Marjorie at marjorie@studentmedia.edu.ecu.

Many other faces are still new to the world of pro- fessional dance. Like the company, Emily Younger is just beginning her career in ballet. Younger, a female dancer in the Carolina company, is a Raleigh native and began her dancing at an early age, when she was 3 years old. "I started at three but didn't get serious until I was nine Younger said. "I took modern jazz and all the other styles but ballet was always my interest Her training led her to the North Carolina School of the Arts which was a turning point for her career. "When I was a junior in high school I wasn't sure if ballet was what I wanted to do but when I got ac- cepted at the school of the arts, it changed my whole outlook Younger said. "It was a really positive at- mosphere but I had to do a lot of hard work. "During my senior year of high school I auditioned a lot of places but didn't get in. So, during my fresh- man year of college I went back to the school of the arts and worked hard and finally got a job here The reality of a dancer's schedule is as hard, or harder than any job. Between practices and perfor- mances, they work about 40 hours a week. "It is a really hard day Younger said. "We start at 10:30 in the morning and go until 6:30 at night five days a week. It's exhausting, but we get the weekends off and the performing makes it all worth it. A lot of people don't understand that it is a real jobWhen I tell them I'm a dancer they say' What kind of dancer? and when I say a ballet dancer they say 'well, OK ' Younger also began her career with The Carolina Ballet as it was beginning, a unique situation that made, the work more appealing to her. "I was with the starting company so I've been here for two years Younger said. "Everybody has theTf own personality, they're not copies of each other �and"that makes us work well on stage. "I found it to be a lot easier to start out in a com- pany where everyone was new rather than starting with people who had been there for 10 years with certain ways of doing things. This was a lot more comfortable The Carolina Ballet's young and talented perform- ers will be coming to ECU on March 24, 2000.

Instead, he's listed as a car owner. Brack and A.J. Foyt, the man he drove for in 1998 and 1999, filed for entry last Friday with the Indianapolis Motor Speedway as ccowners. A driver has not yet been named. Last season, Brack left Foyt's team to move from IRL to the CART circuit with Team Rahal, so some thought that he might end up defending his title after all. But Brack says no; he is concentrat- ing on his transition to CART and the 20-race season ahead. As a former Indy 500 cham- pion, I understand how unique it is for the defending champion to not race at Indy Rahal said. "I think it is a great gesture on the part of A.J. that he has offered Kenny a symbolic means to be involved in the race Pirates rally in ninth to overcome Duke Delfino home run spurs comeback Jason Adzigian STAFF WRITER The Pirates battled Duke for the second time this season, notching a 7-6 comeback victory in ideal baseball weather. ECU jumped out to an early lead, scoring one run in the first off of John Willimason's single that brought home Nick Schnabel. Bryant Ward added to that lead in the second with a towering two run homer, giving the Pirates a 4-0 lead. Duke an- swered in the third with three runs, and then again in the sixth with two more off of J.D. Alleva's solo home run putting Duke ahead 5-4. Freshman Davey Penny re- lieved Will Brinson in the sev- enth for the Pirates, and hit Jeff Becker with the bases loaded giv- ing Duke a 6-4 lead. Penny went on to strike out the next two bat- ters. Sophomore transfer Kieran Mattison came on in relief in the eighth and ninth innings for ECU and shut Duke down, striking out two Blue Devils en route to his McSorley to face charges in slash Marty McSorley, 36, an en- forcer on the Boston Bruins, must now answer to a Canadian co'urt for his vicious Feb. 21 attack on Donald Brashear of the Vancouver Canucks. The court date is set for April 4. He is facing one count of assault with a weapon. According to his lawyer, McSorley plans to plead inno- cent, but if convicted he could face a maximum of 18 months in jail. McSorley was suspended by the NHL for the rest of season in the league's harshest penalty ever for an on-ice infraction. He must meet with commissioner Gary Bettman before the league will consider letting him play again. The NHL is upset by the deci- sion to prosecute in court, but said it will cooperate fully with the Canadian authorities. "I'm disappointed McSorley said in an interview with Steve Levy on ESPN's Up Close. "I'm disappointed it's going to court, because I don't know if anybody really knows right now how much I've already lost Cards upset about proposed change According to a plan publicized Tuesday by USA Today, Major League Baseball is seeking to shift the Arizona Diamondbacks to the American League and the Tampa Bay Devil Rays to the Na- tional League for the 2001 sea- son. The plan is slated to be four divisions, with the Cardinals in the South East Division with Tampa Bay, Florida and Atlanta. The Cards are not happy about this move because the re- alignment would break up the tra- ditj5Tal rivalry with the Chicago CiffiS- This plan would put the the CdEBTn the Central Division with Hdustori, Milwaukee and Cincin- nati. "I'm assuming it's a typo said Cardinals president Mark Lamping. Other Card officials and play- ers had the same reaction, in- cluding Manager Tony La Russa.

In the Pirate ninth, sopho- more Lee Delfino lead off with a solo home run to left field, bringing the Pirates within one. Williamson walked and scored when sophomore Chad Tracy doubled down the left field line, which tied the score at six. Justin Hyde came in to pinch hit and was intentionally walked. Catcher Cliff Godwin fol- lowed with what appeared to be a ground ball double play, but was mishandled by the Duke shortstop, leaving the bases loaded for Erik Bakich. Bakich grounded to the Duke third baseman, Kevin Kelly, who threw home for the force out. "Regardless of my home run, I knew we could comeback in the ninth Delfino said. "We just had to put on our rally caps and rely on our con- fidence With the bases loaded and only one out, Ward stepped up to the plate and hit a high chopper over the Duke closer, Kevin Perry.

Meanwhile, the men's 4x400-meter relay squad traveled to Gainesville, Fla for the Nike Last Chance Meet be- fore heading to the NCAA Championships next weekend. The team of Lawrence Ward, Darrick Ingram, James Alexander and Damon Davis will head down to Fayetteville, Ark. for the National Championships, Friday. To qualify for the meet- the team ran the seventh fastest time in the country at the Iowa State Invitational in February. "This was probably one of tha, finest performances this team has ever given said Bill Carson head coach of men's track, fol- lowing the Iowa meet. "This is even more special considering that we have not had the train- ing we wanted to this winter and we have not done any speed work. We are now basically in the nationals so we can focus on that and getting the team ready and rested Also at the Florida meet, Davis competed in the 400- meters and placed third. Davis' time of 46.87 just missed the NCAA automatic qualifying time of 46.72. True freshman, Anto- nio Gray finished sixth. The men's distance runners travel to the IC4A Indoor Championships in Boston.

"We're happy and sad said Len Klepack, cross coun- try head coach. "We're happy to set a new school record but we felt that we could make it to the finals The women also traveled to Boston for the ECAC Indoor Championships where they earned a promising seventh place finish. "This is fantastic said Matt Munson, head women's track and field coach. "This was a meet with over seventy teams. This was our highest finish ever. Things really went our way Last year the Lady Pirates finished the season tied for 11th. This year with a more balanced field, the ECU squad was able to move up. "This year it was a tougher meet Munson said. "There were higher quality people their so the talent was more spread out.

The Lady Pirates beat UNC Wilmington 13-1, Lehigh 11-4 and Towson 3- 1 in the round-robin por- tion held on Friday. On Sat- urday, the Pirates battled University of Maryland-Bal- timore County for eight in- nings before pulling out a 9-7 victory. The Lady Pirates were lead by seniors Denise Reagan and Nicki Andrews. Reagan picked up the vic- tory, while Andrews knocked in three RBIs and swiped two bases. Junior Keisha Shepperson added two hits, scored two runs and stole one base. "We worked hard all week on hitting, and we definitely executed Shepperson said. The second game on Satur- day featured the Lady Pirates downing Towson 11-3, in their second matchup of the tourna- ment. The Lady Pirates jumped on top early, scoring eight runs in the first inning. "We played solid. Each week someone new comes through with big hits Keisha Shepperson Pirate secondbaseman "We set the goal of scoring early, and we were the first ones on the board every game said Head Coach Tracy Kee. Junior Lisa Paganini earned the victory by pitching 3.1. in- nings and giving up no runs. Shepperson continued to domi- nate pitchers with two hits, two stolen bases and an RBI. Senior Ameaka McDougald went 2-4, while freshman Hillary Halpern finished 2-3 with two runs scored and two RBIs. "I just try to play the roles asked by the coaches, work hard and remain versatile Halpern said. The victory over Towson moved ECU into the champi- onship game against UNC- Greensboro. The Lady Pirates slipped past the Spartans just one week ago, with a 5-4 win in 11 innings in the Finals of the Pirate Classic. An extra in- ning would be necessary once again. The Lady Pirates' sopho- more Angela Manzo knocked in the game-winning run in the eighth inning, giving ECU a 2-1 victory. McDougald went 1-3 with a stolen base on her way to earning Tour- nament MVP. Keisha Shepperson, who was also se- lected as Tournament MVP, went 2-4 scoring both Lady Pirate runs. Denise Reagan pitched all eight innings for ECU, giving up just one run on five hits. "I was very pleased over- all Kee said. "We knew we were going to see a lot of off- speed pitches, so we focused last week in practice on that. We flat out drilled the ball this past weekend "We played solid Shepperson said. "Each week someone new comes through with big hits ECU improves to an im- pressive 16-1 with the per- fect 6-0 tournament, and has won 11 games in a row. It's the best start in school his- tory since 1986 when the Lady Pirates went 15-1. The Lady Pirates will see action again over Spring Break when they play in the Lady Vol Spring Invitational on March 10-12 and then in the Coastal Carolina Tourna- ment held March 13-15.

(AP)-The lawyer for former Carolina Panther Rae Carruth wants the attorney for a codefendant also facing a murder charge kicked off the case for statements to the media. Carruth's lawyer, David Rudolf, filed a motion Tuesday to disqualify Michael Eugene Kennedy's lawyer, James Exum. Exum said he hasn't said anything inappropriate. "It appears to me that Mr. Rudolf is more in- tent on trying the case in the press than he is on trying the case before a panel of jurors Exum said. Carruth, Kennedy and two other men have been charged with first-degree murder and sev- eral related charges in the death of the football player's girlfriend, Cherica Adams. Adams, 24, who was pregnant with Carruth's baby, was shot four times while driving in south Charlotte. She died a month later. Prosecutors have said they will seek the death penalty, but no trial date has been set. Rudolf, seeking to have Exum disqualified, argues that Exum became a potential witness when he told reporters about confidential com- munications with Kennedy. Exum told reporters in December that Carruth didn't want the baby Adams was carrying. But Rudolf has said Carruth had no reason to worry about child-support payments for the baby. He said financial documents showed that the former wide receiver had a net worth of almost 5480,000, including about SI75,000 in bank ac- counts at the time of Adams' shooting. Exum also told reporters that Kennedy told him Carruth was on the cell phone with one of the suspects at the time of the shooting. In Tuesday's court documents, Rudolf says that's not true. Kennedy, in his first statement to police, said he received a telephone call from Carruth shortly after Carruth and Adams left a movie the night of the shooting, according to the motion. In his second statement to police, the motion says, Kennedy identified a call made by Carruth at 11:51 p.m. as the one he received from Carruth on his car phone. That phone call, Rudolf pointed out, occurred about 45 minutes before the shooting. Police said the crime took place between 12:34 a.m. and 12:36 a.m. Adams' 911 call to police was made at 12S6 a.m. Exum said he never specifically said what time Carruth telephoned Kennedy. He said he has material "that clearly indicates the purpose of Mr. Carruth's call but said he couldn't reveal that information yet. Rudolph also filed a motion Tuesday that said Kennedy purchased the murder weapon and bullets used to kill Adams. The other two men charged in the slaying, Van Brett Watkins and Stanley Drew "Boss" Abraham told police Kennedy purchased the gun and the bullets about two hours before the shoot- ing, according to the motion.

Miccah Smith Fountainhead Hce Reporter It's no big secret that college students are showoffs, and downtown Greenville is a perfect place to do it. Karaoke's popu- larity packs clubs like the Cellar, Underwater Pirates Cove and the Sports Pad all week long, while the Corner and Peasant's Cafe host open mic nights early in the week. If you've got a song in your heart and the guts to sing in front of a crowded room, chances are you're going to enjoy yourself at one of these venues. Corey Stewart, who has previ- ously hosted karoake at the Cellar, is both a serious performer and karaoke enthusiast, but he's unique. Stewart is one of the few who move comfortably between the two wildly different worlds. Typical karaoke venues are packed with top-forty fans who've partied heartily and just want to have a good time with other club-goers. Karaoke is an accessory to their downtown experience, a way to emulate their favorite singers for a moment or watch friends and strangers mangle popular songs onstage. They don't want to learn music theory or write a song; they're living for the moment. Like the Psychic Friends Network, karaoke is for enter- Eddle White. Casey Meyer. Billy Ingram.

"Karoake is definitely one of those things where either you love it or you hate it Stewart said. "Anybody can do it It's a good release, a good way to vent whatever's bottled up inside of you, to be what you've always wanted to be So what's open mic got that karaoke hasn't? Plenty, according O) to those who have benefited from experience. For starters, open n mic nights give amateur performers of music, poetry and drama a a chance to be heard and to hone their skills. They often earn not only praise from crowds, but gigs at clubs as well. s "The people that go to open mic night are out to hear 9 originality Stewart said. "I think open mic night is a means of jl expressing yourself artistically. It's a little more in-depth, a lot c more intimate But this is a college town near a Marine base, after all. These days, karaoke's versatility and crowd-pleasing aspects are boosting its growth, while open mic nights prove not nearly as popular. Open mic performers may sing for a handful of faithful friends lg and half-interested loungers, but karaoke and crowds of drinkers a go hand-in-hand. Consequently, karaoke brings bars more money. � Peasant's Cafe, which has hosted open mic nights for about .� six years, isn't about to give up on the amateur performers, W although attendance has seriously declined. "I don't want to abandon it said Paul Edwards, owner of 9 Peasant's. "There was a time when open mic night would do as u ro Kat Fowler and Robin Vechurch perform at open mic night, (photo by Kenny Smith) many people as any night of the week He hopes to revitalize open mic night at Peasant's by mixing amateur and community theater with music perfor- mances. "I hope it's going to evolve into something were it's music(al) and theatrical It's not just for musicians The Underwater Pirates Cove has hosted both an open mic and karaoke night, but now only features karaoke. "Open mic just wasn't going as good; we just weren't getting the support said owner Donovan Carless. "The performers really didn't bring their own people to support them As a bar, the Cove tends to attract more of the fun-loving karaoke crowd. "Karaoke is more popular, more known-of Carless said. "And karaoke can really pack a bar Open mic venues are feeling the hurt as other clubs chip away their business. Creativity is essential if open mic nights are to survive the competition. That's why the newly formed "Blues Night featured Mondays at The Corner, is such a welcome change. "Blues Night" offers musicians a welcome chance to bond, jam and learn. A solid audience is starting to give open mic night the recognition it needs. "There's a lot of good musicians here that enjoy playing the blues, and they never get a chance to do it said Vance Moore, who started "Blues Night" in January. "A lot of people are glad that we're doing this. You get to see a lot of students that you normally wouldn't get to see anywhere On a given Monday night, you can catch road-seasoned guitarists mingling with classically trained cats from the school of music's famous Jazz Band A. The stage is always open to less experienced performers and other combinations, and the atmo- sphere encourages experimentation. "Down here 1 can take chances on the instrument, whereas with my band I can't do that so much said Chris Salerno, an ECU student. The rough-and-ready, imperfect but jubilant sounds of im- promptu performance can reel in a crowd, offering open mic a long-needed shot in the arm. Karaoke singers may do it for their friends, but at "Blues Night it's all about the music. To ECU graduate Steve Losey, pleasing the crowd is icing on the cake. "When I get up there with a bunch of musicians and we get a good song and things really start going he said, " you can just look at the audience and see the smiles on their faces, and know that they're enjoying it just as much as you are This writer can be contacted at msmith@studentmedia.ecu.edu.

Miccah In Late Smith Melyssa Ohmygod Ojeda Emily Isthatok Richardson Melissa Maybe Later Massey People tuho like this sort of thing ujiII find this to be the sort of thing that they like. -Abraham Lincoln I fn Patrick McMahon Entertainment Editor I guess it was only a matter of time before the rice-boy trend stretched its legs across the country and stepped into eastern North Carolina. The "rice trend" is a nickname given to import automobiles whose owners decide to turn the car into something it was never meant to be, i.e. fast. I'm sure you have seen these cars cruising through downtown equipped fart tips, a lowered stance and a driver who holds their chin while driving with one arm. Rice is becoming more and more visible as each day passes. What was once a west-coast only activity has turned into a full-blown industry by automo- bile enthusiasts everywhere. The term "rice" was coined about six to seven years ago in California by the American- built muscle car crowd that was tired of seeing high-schoolers lower their cars and put Powered by Honda stickers on them. Rice is a derivative of rice-burner, which has been a popular nickname for import automobiles for some time. The most popular of these riced-out cars is the Honda Civic, which has gone on to unprecedented I popularity with tremendous backing from aftermarket perfor- mance product companies. Rice is much more than loud stickers pasted all over a car; it is an attitude as well. I'm sure you Camaro and Mustang guys know what I'm talking THE RICE BOYS ARE COMING Over-hyped cars invade NC stickers. It becomes obvious when these guys come up to you and say, my car will blow all you guys away. I got an intake which gives me 240 horsepower and I can beat any the attention away. Hence, along with true Asian pride there is now AZN Pride. I'm sure many of you have seen the white Prelude around campus with this window banner across it, and now you know what it means (I make no claims as to about. You see this little Civic pull up beside you at a stop- light revving the engine and looking for a good old-fash- ioned street race. What do they get? A good old-fashioned butt whooping. These Civic guys think their car is faster than anything else out on the road and totally disregard the safety of the public when conducting these little impromptu street races. As an attitude, rice is much more noticeable than 40 From the racing Maxima to extra hubcaps to way too many fog lights to sheet metal-extended spoilers to the 'exclusive Prelude, this is rice, (photos by Patrick McMahon) V8 Mustang ever built. Complete and utter bullspit. Remember, these people are driving Hondas. Another movement in the rice-boy trend that has slowly trickled down to North Caro- lina is the AZN Pride move- ment. Rice originated with young Asian males trying to make their cars as fast or faster than the cars'Japanese coun- terparts. Well, over the years, the Asians' role in the industry has steadily decreased because of the white-kid-from-suburbia- trying-to-be-hard taking all of why the owner of the Prelude decided to do that. He did it for his own reasons, I'm sure). I know all of this mess may be hard to understand for some of you but the trend is blowing up. Unfortunately, it is all ridiculous. These idiots go out there and assume that a window banner gives them horsepower and try to run up against V8 Mustangs and WS6 Firebirds which is not the brightest thing in the world. It is true that some Hondas have run nine-second quarter mile times at like 140 mph, but these rice boys on the street run nothing more than 16s and think they are bad-asses. If you want to know the basics of rice, you don't have to look any further than any parking lot around campus. Look for shiny rims with ultra- thin tires, the obligatory offset racing stripe across the top of the car, a muffler that sounds as if it's pooting, stickers all over it like it really is a race car, and of course it's dropped to the ground. THAT is rice. One of the main players in the anti-rice crusade has been Bryan Hong, a Californian who has devoted much of his time into documenting and display- ing hideous displays of rice on his Web site riceboypage.com. Although hated and respected at the same time, there is nothing worse than having your car posted in the Hall of Shame. So watch kiddies, keep fixing your car up and me and my digital camera might make a little phone call and have your ride all over the Internet. Happy motoring.

Miccah Smith FH flee Reporter I know this is a long shot, but I'm betting that at least one of you is going to be stuck around here for Spring Break, sans cash, while your friends all jaunt off to that perennial sweaty jumble of scantily-clad bodies known as Key West. But don't despair; you can still pull off a fabulous vacation if you put a little effort into it. Although it's way too early for summer vacationers, North Carolina is a fabulous state to explore this time of year, and you don't have to spend a lot of money. For a good time camping and exploring North Carolina's history, try the coastline. The North.Carelina-Maritime. � � . A day trip will get you a chance to play on the state's own retired battleship, (tile c History Museum in Beaufort offers wildlife tours and educational programs about our state's historic seafaring culture. Stop to check out Bluebeard's home, or explore one of several eerie sites in Bath, one of the South's most haunted cities. Camping is cheap and fun on the coast and in national forests; look up the N.C. Tourism Web site for informa- tion on rates and sites, and go to Mapblaster.com for direc- tions. The Nag's Head Woods Ecological Preserve, Battleship U.S.S. North Carolina, Cape Hatteras National Seashore and Mligator River Refuge are good places to start communing with nature. Or, you could take a ferry to Ocracoke Island for more privacy. If roughing it isn't your style, you can chow down on seafood and take a stroll through the stone-walled Elizabeth Gardens in Manteo. The island is also home to a historic microbrewery and restaurant called the Weeping Radish. If you've had enough of the beach for one lifetime, head west for a scenic, if chilly, vacation in the Appalachian Mountains. Go to Asheville and see the Biltmore House, if you've never been. Or, take a gorgeous drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway. "It's beautiful up here in early spring said Thomas McGowan of Appalachian State University. "Because the trees haven't filled out yet the views can be really great But, keep in mind that the mountains operate on their own timetable, and camping can be a serious business this time of year due to low nighttime tempera- tures. Any exploration of the famed Appalachian Trail might be better left until the summer. "I think a person who does North Carolina's hidden treasures go on the trail needs to pay attention to weather reports McGowan said. Skiing, on the other hand, is still an option up here, as are the warmer comforts to be found in bluegrass venues, mountain craft shops, rented cabins and local potteries. Call the Boone and Asheville chambers of commerce and tourist bureaus for places to go. I could tell you about Cherokee, but I don't think I need to. Just don't forget to save some of those slot ma- chine quarters for gas money to get you home.

But when the Greenville Museum of Art (GMA) showed interest in his work, he thought the last ten years would do. The West Wing Gallery features 37 works by the artist in a show entitled "Ten Years Apart: A Retrospective 1990- 2000" Busang shows his ability to paint warm, almost homely images of those things which some of us don't consider homely. Buildings, overpasses, and other urban scenes are portrayed in various images. Busang was raised in Memphis, TN, among southerners. He left, "to never return again as he jokingly put it, to New York City to make a living. "Most people only see the airport in Memphis); they aren't missing much he said. While in NYC he did a number of things including acting, play writing and photography. It was the photography that brought him to where he is today I wanted to portray city life, and I came into painting through photography Busang said. today. "People who seem intent on testing the wind get all the attention he said, "I seem passe to others But like any real around my age. I guess it's my time he said. In the exhibit, which runs until Apr. 1, several paintings stand out to show the dynamic Corner on teal: one of Busang's pieces, (photo by Kenny Smith) Influenced by artists Sloan, Henwright, and Manet, Busang wanted to paint in the realist tradition but work in that style is very visible on the art scene artist he painted what he wanted and now his work is getting some much-deserved attention. "Most artists emerge of his work. One, entitled "2- Mile Bridge depicts the underneath of an iron bridge that goes on for what seems like forever. Done in acrylic. like the other works, it uses comfortable colors and impres- sive shadows. "I used a very limited pallet he said. "To make the feel of that dark, iron mass of the bridge that's bearing down on you delicate Another eye- catching painting, called "At First Base shows a view of a dusty sandlot's first base area. It's a homey image of a piece of American heritage, the local baseball field. From a distance the print looks like a photograph. One of Busang's influences once said: "Art only achieves promi- nence when politics and money drag it along Even though Busang has never received a grant, he has another exhibit currently showing in his hometown, so it may only be a matter of time before he starts getting more national recognition.

If you want to learn a little I 7ii�rMSQ thing about the rave scene or the music that drives it, check out Asylum. You can also find dates posted for raves in the finer cities in our country. Plan to do some traveling though, because Pitt County doesn't have much to offer in the way of raves. There's lots of cool stuff to do on this site. There's a history section where you can find out how the whole drum 'n' bass scene started. There are a few artist profiles to look at, such as Grooverider and Fabio (not the blond guy on the namfi rpyifiw game reuietra covers of romance novels). These guys worked the early rave scene and helped drum 'n' bass become somewhat legitimate. The review section is really useful with pic- tures, lists of tracks on records and an overall reviews of records. Then there's The Booth. With Real Player G2, you can listen to many recent tracks and ones that date back to 1993. Although these are commercial tracks, Asylum reminds you that while you can listen to them, you don't have a right to keep them. The site also includes the Forum, where you can leave messages telling people about a cool new artist and mixes, or trade records and ideas. The links section of Asylum contains lots of DJs, labels and artists. Most of them are from the United Kingdom of course. The spinning "PVC" icon lets you listen to PVC Net Radio. This radio station broadcasts over the phone lines and you can listen to the latest drum 'n' bass and send in requests for what you want to hear. The partyvibe.com section also has news articles, interviews and party dates. By visiting Asylum, you too can enjoy some truly refreshing music when you want, and find all the information you could ever want about a truly original style of music for the next century.

And they keep repeating the same little trivia phrases when the action stops. It's like they ought to say "Did you know that Martin Brodeur goes to goalie camp every summer to improve his game? Huh? Did you?" As for the gameplay, I really don't have any complaints. There's even a button for hooking, a feature I wish had been in the NBA game rotten Iverson. The only problem I see is that defense is tough to pull off, even when it's three-on-one. The players are responsive enough, but the computer can knife through the defense with ease.

It's frustrating at times, but at least the guys at Sega Sports didn't dumb it down like some sort of NBA Jam game. NHL2K is pretty darn good if you enjoy the toothless abandon that is the game of hockey. Indeed, if you don't like the real sport, you're probably not going to dig the home version. So, if you're like me and can appreciate a sport worshiped by people who end each sentence with "ay then check it out. It could just save your life one day.

Paul Palmer and Bill Clymer, both of wfcom love to sing, have experienced that, too. The two work as mainte- nance men at NBA Oklahoma Christian Home, a nursing homeretirement complex. The two maintenance men enjoy singing to residents there during their free moments, lunch breaks and special occasions. At some of the duo's performances, nursing home personnel noticed that their singing elicited responses from residents whose health prob- lems have left them unable to communicate, said Sue Hunt Perry, the center's public relations director. "Many of the residents they sing to are incoherent. Bill and Paul have been able to get reactions out of some special people who otherwise do not respond to much said Perry. "Yeah, once they were throwing things at us cracked Clymer, his tongue firmly lodged in his cheek. "I thought they were throwing quarters, but they turned out to be hearing aids The two maintenance men began singing together at the nursing home about a year ago. "We perform at birthdays for any staff member or resident Palmer said. "Basi- cally if we get wind of anything that's going on, we'll sing Palmer, who piays the guitar, often provides musical accompaniment for the pair's singing act. Clymer fills in the interval between songs with jokes and other humorous patter. "If you feel a need to ever pray for me, pray for hair Clymer told a recent group of visitors, as he patted his receding hairline. The pair's repertoire consists mainly of favorite hymns, Christian contempo- rary pieces and country songs. But Palmer and Clymer contend "Jesus Loves Me" and "Storms Never Last" have been most effective in patching broken communica- tion links with patients who are incoherent, unresponsive or semi-comatose. One staunch fan is Gelene Gay, 84, a partially paralyzed woman in a wheelchair, who knows all the pair's songs and loves to sing along. "She can't talk, but boy, can she sing 'Jesus Loves Me said Clymer. Clymer and Palmer are also members of a slightly larger singing group that also performs on a volunteer basis for special events at the nursing home. Using the nursing home's initials, the group calls itself the OCH Singers. mg THINCS TO DO IN GREENVILLE Emily Little Fauntainhead Editor I was feeling energized this week by the sudden reappearance in the sky of Apollo's great ball of fire, I decided to grab my friend Clementine and drag her with me to try out Greenville's frisbee golf course last Friday. I played the game once before with some friends on the Zebulon course, where I learned not to ever wear Uirkenstocks because of the alarming amount of mud that has an irresistible urge to swallow frisbees of unsuspecting little girls who always throw left. It was at this course that I confirmed my suspicion that I am horrible at frisbee golf, so this time 1 tried to give myself an edge by donning a baseball cap. It seems to help the guys, after all. Frisbee golf, in case you've never played, is golf with a frisbee. There are a traditional 18 holes. It's a fairly self-explanatory game, although the "holes" are baskets and there are a lot more trees between you and them. Our course has a heap of trees because it's set partly in the forest at the corner of Cotanche and Greenville Blvd, and partly in the field behind the big blinking ECU sign that never works. Overall the Greenville course is a nice one, despite the bushes and trees and poison ivy you will inevita- bly climb through, and the one hole that's so close to the street you will probably end up playing it from underneath a passing semi. When the sun's out and the weather's nice, though, the half of the course on the field is a pleasant experience. I'm just guessing, though, because it was overcast and chilly for the two hours we played. WHEN YOU'RE SOBER FRISBEE GOLF (Top) This is right before I hit the photographer in the crotch with my disc.

In short, the baseball cap did no good whatsoever. The photographer, who had never played before, had us worried for a minute when he lobbed a few a pretty good distance, but then we were all shown up by this guy behind us who knew what he was doing. We were pretty much in awe of his capabilities; he chucked those little discs way farther than any human should be able to. Meanwhile, I came really close to hitting a guy at a nearby hole in the head. That brings me to one of the things I love about this game. It is heavily male dominated, and most of the guys would be more than happy to help an innocent girl with no expertise and mud on her Birkenstocks. But that's just a side benefit. We didn't keep score because we ran out of numbers, but we did have fun. Some of the holes weren't well marked but we managed to find them anyway. The result was a two- hour adventure of magnani- mous proportions, whatever that means. If you're bored, need a little exercise, and have an unquenchable urge to go traipsing through the woods after a round piece of plastic, this is the game for you. Give it a shot. You can't possibly be worse at it than me. This writer can be contacted at fountamheaaWstudentmedia.ecu.edu. a c a u 3- CD 0) O.
