APRIL 4. 2000 Players question coach's methods Trainer fired following locker room brawl Stephen Schramm SPORTS EDITOR Following a late season brawl that erupted in the locker room of the ECU basketball team that left one player injured and two players suspended, many ECU players are questioning the rhetoric of Head Basketball Coach Bill Merrion. The after- math of the incident has also claimed the job of respected trainer, Jim Bazluki. Numerous players have stated that Herrion often told the team to be more physical adopt a more violent style of game and a more confrontational attitude among themselves. The players stated that Herrion said: � "At Drexel, I would come in at halftime and someone would be pinned against the wall by their throat. Why can't I get that here?" �"If 1 could hit you, I would. But then I'd get fired. By this time at Drexel there would have been three or four fights by now �"Be a man, knock somebody's head off �"We have enough bodies, so I don't care if you get hurt �"If you foul somebody take his fing head off �"We haven't had one fight this year. You guys are so soft. There's not an ounce of competi- tiveness in anyone on this team �"One time at Drexel, I had two guys start just swinging at each other and told 'em, 'Let 'em go So I just sat back and watched them go after it. Finally after a while we broke it up According to players who did not wish to be identified, Herrion's comments contributed to the altercation that took place between the two teammates. The fight that occurred on Feb. 29 followed a practice in which Herrion was reportedly upset with the team's lack of in- tensity. According to statements ob- tained from the players, the fight took place in the film room fol- lowing a heated speech by Herrion in which he made eye contact with center Alphons Van Ierland. Following the speech the coaching staff left the room. At that point, guard David Taylor mentioned that Herrion was looking at Van Ierland for much of his talk. Following that remark, Quincy Hall, apparently of- fended by Taylor's comment to- wards Van Ierland, confronted Taylor. The two exchanged words and then Hall struck Taylor. The two then fought until Hall began choking Taylor, allegedly render- ing him momentarily uncon- scious. The players then broke up the fight and summoned Bazluki, who was still on the court. Bazluki entered the room and found Taylor conscious and began to tend to his injuries. At this point Taylor reportedly picked up a chair and attempted to throw it at Hall. The chair was taken away and the fight was over. The fight left Taylor with a cut below his eye that required six stitches and several smaller cuts. Hall was left with a small cut in his mouth that did not re- quire stitches. Because of the altercation, both Taylor and Hall were sus- pended for the CAA Tournament game that the Pirates eventually lost, 75-54. Following the incident, Bazluki spoke with Herrion about the altercation.

The executive branch of SGA is made up of the student body president, who is assisted by the vice president, treasurer and sec- retary. Each of the executive of- ficers are elected by a majority of those voting in the student body elections, which take place every year. "A big percentage of student opinton comes from the SGA executive council said Cliff Webster, the current student body president. "We are at a time when the student voice must be heard. That voice will he elected tomorrow The student body president represents the students in work- ing with the faculty, administra- tion, official guests and students from ther � .nools. Other duties of the president include presid- ing over meetings of the legisla- ture, issuing orders to executive committees and delegating du- ties. The president also serves as a non-voting member of the Board of Trustees, which is the body that makes decisions deal- ing with tuition and fees, con- struction projects and other uni- versity issues. "The most important part of the job is student representation and speaking to the administra- tion on behalf of the students Webster said. The responsibilities of the stu- dent body vice president are to perform the duties and exercise the powers of the president if the president is absent for some rea- son. The treasurer's main duties are to advise the legislature on financial matters and is directly Set ELECTION page 4 School of Business seeks tougher admission requirements Proposal will have few short-term effects Carolyn Herold STAFF WRITER The School of Business at ECU recently proposed to raise program admission requirements in an effort keep the business school approximately the same size while the rest of the univer- sity grows. The way the admission re- quirements stand currently, a stu- dent needs to have completed at least 45 semester hours with a 2.5 or higher GPA, and a grade of C or better in seven specific courses to enter into the school of busi- ness. The proposal will raise those class requirements to eight courses (ACCT 2521 will be added), scoring a C or better on all eight courses, while still re- taining the current requirement of 45 semester hours and a 2.5 overall. The proposed changes were generated by the administration of the school of business and passed by a mail ballot without general discussion among the faculty or students. The measure must now be approved by the university Curriculum Commit- tee, Faculty Senate and Chancel- lor Eakin before it can be imple- mented. The business faculty voted on the new requirements by way of a mail-in ballot three days after the proposal was made. Typi- cally when proposals of this na- ture are made, there is a longer period of deliberation and a full faculty meeting for discussion. "There were faculty and com- mittee involved said Dr. Ernest B. Uhr, dean of the school of r business. "We ha e been looking at this since last fall. All of the requirements were followed The issue is a sensitive onetx?- cause some feel thai the school of business is looking to avoid their fair share of the enrollment increase that is expected to hap- pen at ECU over the next several years.

In honor of the April 1 holiday, the Duke News Service superimposed Elvis Presley into the pictures that normally appear on the University's homepage. With this addition, Elvis was present at President Nan Keohane's inauguration, a field hockey game and sev- eral other places. While seemingly few students actually reported that they noticed the King in the Web site pictures, staff at the Duke News Service were proud of their prank. "We thought It was so cool that it would make a good April Fool's joke said Dennis Meredith, assis- tant vice president and director of the Office of Re- search Communications. "Nan thought it was a real honor to have Elvis at her inauguration The idea for the joke originally came from Vincent Budnick, a systems administration analyst in the Of- fice of Information Technology, while he was super- imposing images of Elvis into pictures for fun, Meredith said. The choice of Elvis for the superimposed images was simple. Cause Elvis is cool Meredith said. "He's the King. And Duke doesn't accept anything less than the King The Duke Basketball Report, a privately run Web site which features up-to-date basketball information, is frequented by many Duke fans. The site also puts on an annual April Fool's prank, and this year it created a phony story claiming that the Environmental Protection Agency was shutting down K-ville as an environmental hazard. "Each year we try to do an April Fool's joke that knocks people for a loop said DBR co-director Boswell, a 1980 Duke graduate who prefers the one-word moni- ker. "So each year we try to do something that's a bit realistic, something that actually might be true This year, the site creators decided to use K-ville because it is one of the "great, hallowed traditions at Duke We knew it would touch a nerve if some gov- ernment bureaucrats came in and tried to interfere with it Boswell said. Along with the fake press release the creators made a link to the actual EPA letter that had been sent to Executive Vice President Tallman Trask. And although this year's idea originally came from his wife, Boswell said, It is in keeping with other April Fool's pranks the site has pulled. Last year, DBR created a mock-up of The Herald- Sun of Durham's Web site, and posted a story claiming that Bill Guthridge had retired and Dean Smith was coming back as his replacement. The story was so widely believed that wire services in Iowa and Missouri picked it up, and the real Herald- Sun was forced to run an announcement about their lack of involvement with the prank. This year's prank was more confusing to people than anything else, Boswell said, with people writing in ask- ing why DBR had fallen for such a prank. "A couple�and these are probably the funniest re- actions�told us what idiots we were for falling for an April Fool's joke he said. "We had to tell them we were the ones that came up with it Georgia Southern U.�Four former Georgia South- ern University students who were arrested and con- victed of participating in an April 7,1999 bombing and burglary conspiracy were sentenced on March 23 to varying prison terms and probation. Shane Thomas McKevlin, Jason William Guest and Michael Tyson Miller�all charged with two counts of possession, manufacture, or transportation of a destruc- tive device and one count of conspiracy to commit burglary�were sentenced by Judge John R. Turner to 10 years in prison, to be probated except for a 300 to 360 day period of incarceration in a detention center. Each of the three was fined $7,500 and banished from the Ogeechee Judicial Circuit, which includes Bulloch and three other counties. McKevlin and Guest must perform 200 hours of community service; Miller must put in 300 hours. Miller, who worked as a student escort with the GSU Police Department prior to and during the incident, was fingered by prosecutors as the mastermind of the plot. Haley Melissa Berryman, convicted on one count of possession, manufacture, or transportation of a de- structive device and one count of conspiracy to com- mit burglary, was sentenced to 10years, probated, with 60 to 90 days to be served in a detention center. She also received a $2,000 fine, 200 hours of community service and banishment from the Ogeechee Judicial Circuit. The students planned to detonate a bomb near the Recreation and Activity Center (RAC) on campus, while three of them carried out a robbery of Deal Hall. The plot was uncovered by investigators and they appre- hended them the same night as the attempt. The bomb was made of household materials and placed near a dumpster at the RAC, but did not ex- plode because rain falling that evening put out the fuse. Investigators also discovered that the defendants had detonated a test bomb the day before in order to determine how much noise the bomb would create. This was done, according to prosecutors, so they could gauge whether or not the bomb would be an accept- able diversion. The sentencing phase had been rescheduled numer- ous times over the past few months following the plea agreements reached by the state and the defense. Vari- ous expert witnesses and family members testified, each hoping to affect the sentencing decision of the judge. Video presentations were submitted by both the state and the defense, with the state retaining the ser- vices of the GBI to construct and detonate a bomb of similar composition and the defense hiring an inde- pendent bomb expert for $21,000 to do the same. The difference between the two test was that the GBI agents used firecrackers in their bomb, like the defendants, while the defense's expert did not. The state's tape was meant to show the unpredictability of a bomb explosion, while the defense's showed that the bomb did not even have enough force to knock down the wooden boards propped nearby. At issue during the proceedings Thursday was whether the materials used in the bombs were danger- ous enough to cause harm or damage. Attorneys for the defense argued their clients did not think the bomb would cause harm to any indi- viduals, with McKevlin's attorney reading statements from the four indicating that the area of placement for the bomb used the night of the intended burglary was chosen because they felt no one would get hurt if it was detonated there. COACH from page 1 the fight. Many players said they feel that Herrion's comments were indeed contributing factors for the altercation. "When someone gets hurt, it crosses the line said one player. "You've got to know what type of players you've got and what they can take Herrion was unable to be reached for comment. After his discussion with Herrion, Bazluki traveled with the team to Richmond for the CAA tournament. On the Wednesday after the tournament, Bazluki was informed that his contract, which ends June 30, would not be renewed by ECU. "The unofficial reason given is that there is irreparable damage between the coach and myself Bazluki said. "I just think it's unfortunate said one player. "He was standing up for the players. Bazluki has been around enough players and coaches to know when to sit back and be a trainer "When the incident has nothing to do with practice, somebody has got to stick up for the players Bazluki has worked at ECU for seven years and was named the North Carolina Athletic Trainers Associations' CollegeUniversity Athletic Trainer of the Year in 1997. Accord- ing to Bazluki, there was no attempt made to move him to a different team. "What happened to me is not really the issue Bazluki said.

(APM Ku Klux Klan group vowed Sunday to file a federal civil-rights lawsuit against Barbourville for hastily pass- . Ing an ordinance forbidding the ' group from wearing masks in pub- lic. Klan members went ahead with a rally Saturday, but complained that the March 28 ordinance damp- ened the turnout and infringed on their First Amendment rights. "It stopped probably another SO people from coming. They would have lost their jobs Jeff Berry, National Imperial Wizard of the American Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, told the Associated Press Sun- day. Berry spoke in a telephone interview from his Butler, Ind home. Seventeen Klan members at- tended rallies in Barbourville and Pineville on Saturday. Berry said his group plans to ar- gue in federal court that the ordi- nance had a chilling effect on Klan members' individual rights to at- tend the rally and express their views. "If they look in the Constitution it says everyone Is entitled to free political speech anonymously Berry said. The ordinance bans the wearing of hoods or masks for anyone 13 or older in public places or on another's property. The city first considered the ordinance on March 27, and gave it final passage at a special meeting the next day, four days before the rally. Klan members also did not wear hoods in Pineville, where an anti- mask ordinance has been in place responsible to the legislature for all financial transactions that happen within the SGA. Minutes of all SGA meetings and any legislative correspondence is taken care of by the secretary. Students can vote tomorrow at Todd Dining Hall, Joyner Library, The Wright Place and Mendenhall Student Center beginning at 9 a.m. "It's really important that every- one go out and vote said Overton Harper, the current student body treasurer.

It's devastat- ing, especially for the young people Marcus said the scene was dis- ; gusting. "I can't.believe that in the year . 2000 discrimination is still being ! practiced in public places he said. African American sophomore Shamika Spencer, another member of the Minority Student Coalition who went downtown to test the ac- cusations of racism downtown agreed that the actions are horrible. "I was very offended by the � whole scene Spencer said. African American senior Yolanda Thigpen said she too was disgusted by the incident. "It is very sad and dishearten- ing Thigpen said. Akbar said next week the class action law suit will be taken to the justice department to stop discrimi- nation downtown and request com- pensation for those that have been discriminated against. "We will be suing downtown under Title II of the Civil Rights Act Akbar said. "We have various written documentation we will be using as testimony Title II of the Civil Rights Act state? "all persons shail be entitled to full and equal enjoyment of the goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages and accommodations of any place of public accommoda- tion, as defined in this section, without discrimination on the ground of race, color, religion or national origin � Ben Irons, university attorney, said he is very concerned with the allegations of downtown, but is willing to cooperate with the stu- dents in any way that he can. Ron Kimble, city manager, said he hopes dialogue can be further shared between the coalition and downtown before the issue is taken to the next level. "I think their different views need to be shared Kimble said. "But, the coalition has the right to do what they feel is necessary Spencer agreed with Kimble that necessary steps are needed.

If the business school's proposal is approved, the new stan- dards may hold the size of the school of business at a constant or shrink enrollment.

Take a minute to ask the candidates what they plan to do for you. Take notes and compare their answers. You can, with your vote, make an individual statement about what matters to you. 0URVIEW Tomorrow is the day when all the SGA candidates will be out with their crews, dressed in identical T-shirts trying to convince you to vote. It's no secret that out of a student body of 17,000, hundreds choose to vote while thousands pass the polls by every year. We at TEC say you should swallow your apathy and spend the neces- sary five minutes to make yourself feel involved in campus politics. Make a choice on a candidate based on reputation, looks or even sheer persis- tence-just vote! Voting in campus elections is good practice for voting in the "real world It gets you thinking about candidate qualities, what changes you'd like to see and how you feel about different topics around cam- pus. '� Take a minute to ask the candidates what they plan to do for you. Take notes and compare their answers. You can, with your vote, make an individual statement about what matters to you. Next year, no matter who wins, you can hold that official account- able to his or her statements. You may even want to attend some SGA meetings, just to see if you are satisfied with how things are going. Sometimes it seems like your vote doesn't matter, and that the elected student leaders have little effect on what happens, but SGA officials work hard to represent you in all matters at meetings year- round. They do more for you than you may give them credit for, and you should care enough to choose the ones you feel may do the best job. If nobody votes, the students will not be represented in any way to the Board of Trustees or to Chancellor EakinAny influence we possess as students will be lost. Instead of ignoring your opportunity to vote, take it and use it to improve your world. If you don't like what the candidates stand for, start a write-in campaign or run for office next year. But don't just stand there and let the chance to speak out pass you by, and then complain all year when things aren't the way you want them to be! OPINION COLUMN "F"s should be reserved for incompletion Dorcas A. Brule OPINION COLUMNIST The words of my fifth-grade teacher's son still ring in my ear. One day in class, Mrs. MacKenzie shared with us the great insights of her then teenage son. He said that if her stu- dents had done the work, they should not re- ceive a grade lower than an "F That "F"s should be reserved for those who didn't do the work, or did just half of the job. Mrs. MacKenzie relayed this story to us, I think, because she saw the wisdom of her son's words. She agreed with him, and from that day forward didn't give another "F" unless a stu- dent was just so slack that they didn't do their work. Speeches like that impress a young mind, and those words have been with me ever since. I to- tally agree with this idea. I mean, if I've done a project and gotten an "F" on it, how does that separate me from the person that didn't do the project and received the same grade? It doesn't, and that isn't fair considering that I at least put time and effort into the project, even if it wasn't 100 percent correct. I am certain that my neighbor in my English 3010 class would agree considering the fact that she recently became the victim of this harsh reality. Having written the required paper-com- plete with quotes, cited works and two pages past the requirement-she received a failing grade. I believe that as long as you've put a mea- surable amount of effort into the project, you should at least receive the minimum passing grade. Say you've had to write an essay that has a word-count requirement. If you've fulfilled the word-count requirement-not with nonsense-with actual research and support, but failed to miss the point somehow, I don't see why you would deserve an "F Clearly the effort was there. If you've missed the point it is only a sign that you need further assistance with the subject mat- ter, not that you didn't care enough to put time and effort into it. By giving the student a grade of "F" it is discouraging them from trying at all. I know that it would make me feel like a complete failure, especially if thought I had turned in a great essay when it was due. Instead, I think that teachers should take this as a sign that the student must need help-yes even in college a professor should step up to the plate when they see that a student is having trouble. In an ideal world every student would be able to write a wonderful essay by college, but we all know this isn't an ideal world. That's why students are given "F"s even when they have completed the work. "F"s should be reserved for those who are slack and simply don't care about what they are doing. "F"s belong to those of us who didn't do the projectpaper at all, or have wasted the professor's time with gibberish in a sad attempt to pull some- thing over on them.

Susan Wright FEATURES EDITOR OPINION COLUMN I don't have the funk Because my dear boyfriend had paid $30 for the tickets, and that roughly equates to 5 boxes of cereal and three gallons of milk in the real world (in other words, a whole lot of food!), we patiently wafted for the band to begin, hoping that the longer wait was a sign that the band to come would make it worth our while. They say that it is worth waiting for, but P-Funk was not. After about 45 minutes of unimpressive runs up and down the scalesa skill taught to ECU music students in their first semester of study, and then they are told never ever to do it again because it is obnoxious), a bass line that swallowed the higher melodies (for your own version, stomp your foot so hard that you can no longer hear your own voice) and lighting as random as my typical conversation style, Danny and I left George Clinton and all the P-Funkers to an evening of mediocre music and entirely too much attitude. "We got the funk" instantly conjures images of stinky, sweaty guys sitting around in a room, without soap a bottle of cologne anywhere nearby. It does not however, conjure up images of a fun-filled and enjoyable concert. As the evening, and the concert progressed on, I came to discover that my initial suspicions were right; I don't have the funk. Time is of the essence to college students at the end of the semester, and it was sadly wasted as George Clinton and the Parliament Funkadelic took an hour to compose themselves and as- cend to the stage. You would think that if the ticket said 8 p.m the band would begin at 8 p.m. Oh, ye who are so naive! The concert be- gan at 9 p.m. with 10 minutes of college stu- dents shouting about how enthusiastic they were abom the funk, and yeah, they all had it. State of the Student Government Address . This address was given at the SGA meeting on April 3. The ECU Student Government Association has worked hard for the past two years to up- hold standards that were bent and fallen long before many students that now attend ECU were here. The steadfast effort of the ECU Student Government Association Executive Council to improve the SGA will ultimately benefit all stu- dents. Our "student voice" has been exercised with- out compromise. This can be seen in events throughout the summer, the aftermath of Hur- ricane Floyd, student fee increases, tuition in- creases, and the unfortunate dismissal of Dr. Ron Speier, dean of students. We refuse to al- low anyone to harm or deter the image that we have so wholeheartedly worked for. Over the past two years we have worked hard to recover what was dissolved by persons who were out for their own good. There is no place in the SGA for students with personal agendas. Being a part of the SGA Executive Council is more than $400 a month, a nice office space, new furniture, socials and cocktails. It is a pas- sion that we, who take it seriously, will never loose sight of. The SGA Executive Council sincerely appre- ciates what the student body has given to us. We hope that you have been able to see im- provements and that you continue to respect the job we do. Students getting paid twice a month, a simplified funding process, new tran- sit buses and a newly energized representation of the student opinion are only a few of our accomplishments this year. SGA will continue to play an integral role in student life. The vice chancellor for Student Life has made a promise to have more student in- put on our campus. If you are unsatisfied with student relations on campus, now is your chance to voice your concern. You can vote for students like you, or you can vote for the suit-and-tie kind of guy, it's your choice. Your future is in tomorrow's election. With 14 days left in our administration, we must remember that it's not what we did, or how we did it; it's the one student we affected. We didn't have to affect 18,223 students to be successful in our positions. What we did try to do is strive toward making a difference for those students. If you touch one life, one heart, one education, then you have done your job. Cliff Webster Jr. Student Body President OPINION COLUMN Another birthday goes by the wayside Patrick McMahon OPINION COLUMNIST Believe it not, my birthday was Saturday. Yes I was truly born on April Fool's Day, which may explain my personality to those of you out there who despise me, but oh well. Another one down, too many left to count. Aren't birthdays supposed to be fun? Not this one. Despite fighting allergies and a nauseous stomach the whole weekend, I had a decent celebration Friday and Saturday night. But the entire while the birthday had me thinking about the years that have passed and the years to come. A long time ago, I had made a promise to myself that I would go on a road trip to the West Coast by the time I hit this birthday. Well, that's one dream left unfulfilled. I also wanted to have half of my book finished by now but so far I only have 268 pages typed. That's two strikes�want to go for three? Oh, yeah. I also had wanted to have a beautiful girlfriend with lots of money and even more class. But, swing and a miss. Strike three, I'm out. Birthdays are thoroughly depressing. As I stand here on the brink of my entire life I look ahead to the future with dim excitement and 10 times more nervousness. Who else will I offend with my column and articles? Who out there is waiting for me to walk through the door to give me that job in the music business that I dream of? Who out there is waiting for me to marry them and make beautiful babies? Who out there is gonna play a role in my demise, whether know- ingly or not? What kind of man will I become? Will I become half the man my father is? Will I be in debt like I am now? Will I be happy? Questions aside, the future scares the living spit out of me. I can deal with the past but the future is just plain scary. It's almost like birth- days are the harbingers of evil thoughts regard- ing one's self. They make you think about things that aren't supposed to be thought about. LJke death. Like life. Like success. Like failure. I still have yet to understand why this birth- day has made me feel so bad because it really shouldn't have. I should be happy. I am another year older and supposedly another year wiser, but I don't feel it. My birthday has put me in a funk. A day that should be celebrated has turned into a maelstrom of self-doubt and harsh reali- ties. The fact that I am writing about this scares the spit out of me because I 'm trying to figure out why I constantly need to come to you read- ers with my problems and hang-ups. To be hon- est, it's like therapy. I wish I had some drastically important mes- sage to spread this week about love, life, happi- ness and saving neighborhoods from destruction, but instead I have come to you with my dilem- mas. Maybe you can help me figure out this strange and wonderful trip called life. It's hard enough when you have to go through it alone. This writer can be contacted at pmcmahon@studentmedia.ecu.edu.

He was brought up with an orphan, Eliza- beth and also had two younger brothers. He did not have many friends, Henry Clerval being the only exception. At the age of 19, Frankenstein be- came interested in natural philosophy, electricity, chemistry and mathematics. After the death of his mother, who succumbed to scarlet fever, Fran- kenstein left for Ingolstadt, Germany, to attend university. There, his interest in natural philoso- phy quickly became an obsession. He was par- ticularly fascinated with the human frame and the principle of life. After four years of fanatic studying, not keep- ing in contact with his family, he was able to "be- stow animation upon lifeless matter" and created a monster of gigantic proportion from assembled body parts taken from graveyards, slaughter- houses and dissecting rooms. As soon as the creature opened his eyes, nowever, the beauty of Frankenstein's dream vanished: it became a hor- rible creature. He realized he made a mistake in creating this monster and fled from his laboratory. On his return the next day, the monster had disappeared. On the eve of the return to his pa- rental home, he received a letter that his young- est brother had been found murdered. On his way home, Frankenstein saw the demon he had created and immediately realized that it is he who is responsible for his brothe'rs death. Franken- stein decided not to tell his family about the de- mon because they would simply dismiss it as in- sane. As he arrived home, he was informed that the murderer of his brother had been found. The accused was Justine, a good friend of the family. When Justine has been found guilty and has been hanged, Frankenstein's heart was tortured. He could not stay in the house and started wan- dering in the Alpine valleys. There, Frankenstein was confronted with his creation who tells him his life story. . After sharing his experiences, the demon's Only request from Frankenstein was that he should create another being: a female to accom- pany him. If Frankenstein complies, he and his bade will stay away from other people and keep to themselves in the wild. Frankenstein saw some justice in the monster's arguments and also felt that he has a duty towards his fellow-man, so he agreed to the daemon's request. Victor left for En- gland to finish his work accompanied by his friend Gterval, promising to marry Elizabeth on his re- turn. When the work on his second creation was advanced, he started to question his promise. He was afraid that they might hate each other, or that they might produce a whole race of these crea- tures. When the monster visits to check on the progress, Frankenstein destroyed his work. The rhpnster swore revenge and promised to be with Him on his wedding night. The following day a body was found and Frankenstein was accused '�" 6 of inurder. He was taken to the body which he identified as Henry Clerval. He was eventually cleared of all charges and returned to Geneva in a vety bad condition. Frankenstein married Eliza- beth after promising her to tell her his horrifying sepret the following day. Remembering the monster's threat, Frankenstein was convinced tfjat he would be killed that night. The monster, however, kills Elizabeth instead. Frankenstein lost aiipther family member as his father died after hearing the news about Elizabeth's death. Fran- kenstein had now lost every sensation except for revenge. He followed the monster everywhere which eventually led him to the Arctic region, where he was taken aboard Walton's ship. After telling Walton his story, Victor asks him to kill the monster if he dies before he can do it him- self. The ship has in the mean time been freed frpm the ice and pressured by his crew, Walton h$s decided to abandon his trip and return home. Victor's health eventually deteriorates and he dfcs. Just after his death, Walton finds the mon- ster hanging over Victor's body. The daBmon speaks of his sufferings. Because of all the mur- ders he has committed, he now hates himself. $j�ce his creator is dead, he decides it is time that tt� too will rest in death. After stating that he will ' tjaild a funeral pile for himself, he leaves the ship and disappears ?n his ice-raft in the darkness, f Picnicking popularity grows as seasons change jff P tp jtfp j0tP Outdoor dining requires careful planning Andrea Schilling FEATURES WRITER Picnic, (Pik'nik): an excursion in which the participants carry food with them and share a meal in the open air. Although most people know the definition of a picnic, how many students know how to do it the right way? For those who are uneducated in thg fine art of picnicking, here are a few pointers for every- thing from location to possible entrees. "The beach, national parks, parks that people can visit or a grassy area" can serve as the perfect area for a picnic accord- ing to Beth Credle, the interim director of health education at ECU Student Health Services. Picnics are meant to be fun and relaxing but you must also try to play it safe when planning you picnic. You must be picky to avoid food-borne illnesses. "As far as food preparation, I would say that foods that need to be stored at a colder temperature need to be kept on ice Credle said. "Watch out for things like mayonnaise and other condiments that can get too hot and can spoil. Food spoilage would be the biggest health issue "Marinated salads and vegetables are good to take, as long as they are chilled said Marilyn Ogaro, the catering manager at ECU. "Meats, of course the deli meats are ideal because they already have preservatives in them and the. fact that they've already been chilled Be sure to cook the food at the proper temperature and make sure it is properly cooled afterwards. Take-out food should be eaten within an hour and a hall' from purchase. Avoid recipes such as potato salad, cole slaw and other cold dishes that are prepared with raw eggs. After the meal, if you think food may have been exposed to unsafe temperature for too long-throw it away. Food is best kept in plastic containers. While it's sitting out, cover it with plastic wrap, aluminum foil or waxed paper to prevent flies and other potential carriers of diseases from touch- ing the food. Another factor to consider when planning a picnic, besides the obvious food, is the climate for your feast. Picnics cab be anytime, but certain seasons offer a better atmosphere. "It's up to the choice of the person. Weather wise, I'd prob- ably say spring or fall Credle said. Of course you'll need to bring other items besides food. "You'll need something to sit on whether it be a blanket or chairs Ogaro said. "Depending on where you are going, you might want to bring something to repel the insects Picnics are ideal for a family gathering, a friendly get-away or even a date. There are many different recipes that are possible-de- pending on your own indi- vidual style and taste. "Meat items are always good to take, for instance, smoked turkey or ham and cheeses to accompany that Ogaro said. "And croissants are always nice whether you're doing something ro- mantic or casual Some of the best ideas for a picnic are finger foods; they don't require plates or utensils, and become a perfecf grab-and- go snack for the active picnicker.

Prayer box offers intercession for those who believe Campus Ministry Association offers opportunity for requests Kristen Monte FEATURES WRITER Scott Wilkenson, minister, stands outside the Dowdy Student Stores, the new location of the ECU prayer box, a confidential outlet for students' most personal prayers, (photo by Emily Richardson) The ECU Campus Ministry Association (CMA) erected a prayer box in Wright Plaza, it is a place for students to place prayer requests, offering the ECU community a unique opportunity. The CMA, an interfaith organization united by a common belief in God, moral values and service to others, established the prayer box on Feb. 17, 2000, so that students have a chance to communicate their aspirations, concerns and in- nermost thoughts. According to Carol Woodruff, ECU Hillel ad- viser and member of the CMA, this service gives students the opportunity to offer prayers about any of their concerns. "The prayer box seems to be fulfilling an impor- tant need Woodruff said. "When we open the. box to collect the prayers prior to the meetings, we consis- tently find notes and requests The prayer requests are collected before each CMA meeting and are read aloud during the meetings by ministry members who then pray silently on behalf of the requesters. This innovative program welcomes prayers of students from all religions and also prayers of students not belonging to any particular religious conviction. All prayers are kept confidential and Woo- druff said that all requests are prayed for, whether they agree with what is written or not. See PRAYER, page 7 Southernprideor racism disguised Confederate battle flag controversy rages on Dorcas A Brule STAFF WRITER Confederate battle flag, considered by many to be a symbol of Southern traditions and the pre-Confed- eracy lifestyle, is now the hot topic in much of the South. In Columbia, S.C. a Confederate battle flag flies on top of the State Capitol Building, leading to a boy- cott by the NAACP. Some see the flag as a representa- tion of democracy in action; others feel that its pres- ence in politics perpetuates racial inequality. The Confederate flag as we know it today is one of six flags used during the Civil War. "The flag that is in question was never the national flag said David Long, ECU history professor. "It was just a banner the troops carried into battle with them. "The Stars and Bars was actually the national flag of the Confederacy, and, it is very different from the battle flag. When people claim the flag was representa- tive of the Confederacy and slavery, they don't know what they're talking about. Originally, the only thing it symbolized was the courage and valor of the Con- federate soldiers who went into battle and fought for what they believed in Following the war, many racist groups used the battle flag to represent their animosity and feelings of superiority. The Ku Klux Klan adopted the flag as a sort of calling card to leave at the sites of lynchings. "The flag, to black people, represents slavery and all of the negative things that happened to black people because of slavery said Gaston Monk, president of the Pitt County Chapter of the NAACP. Because of tthe way that these racist groups used the flag as a symbol, the original meaning has been tainted in the minds of many. "It has come to be a symbol of racism Long said. The flag controversy in South Carolina spawns from the conflicting views of the flag; is it a sym- bol of valor or a sign of a racist think-tank? South Carolina's Capitol Building didn't start fly- ing the flag until 1962, in the midst of the battle over integration. In defense, South Carolina govern- ment offically said that it put up the flag for the centennial anniversary of the Civil War. But, the flag did not appear until a full year after the 1961 anniversary. The NAACP however, takes a different perspective on the flying of the flag and the significance of the particular time South Carolina began flying it. "Obviously it was because the government was dragging segregation into everything, housing, schools, etc Monk said. "They hung the flag to say 'we want to do what we want to do. We are still a Confederate state, and we want to keep Southern traditions such as segregation and Jim Crow Many support the idea that the Civil War was about resisting the federal government's unconstitutional ef- forts to subjugate sovereign states. To these believers, demanding removal of the flag reopens the old wound of states'rights. "Well, to be honest, I feel bad about the situation said Steven Clodfelter, Winston-Salem native. "I agree that the flag is offensive not only to African Ameri- cans, but also to those Caucasians who aren't proud of their own heritage. However, if South Carolina cannot decide for them- selves whether or not to fly the flag then where lies the power vested in statehood?" Still, those of African-American descent feel that the flag is a symbol of the oppression that their people endured for centuries. If the Civil War is viewed as a fight against slavery, then this view of the flag is com- pletely justified. Not only does the flag remind people of the war, but it also reminds them of white-supremacy events such as attempts at overturning the amendments granting freedom and rights to African Americans and Ku Klux Klan involvement. The NAACP has placed an economic boycott on South Carolina's tourist industry in an attempt to pres- sure the state into removing the flag from its capitol building. In reality, this boycott might, in the end, have adverse effects on South Carolina's African-Ameri- can population because they hold a disproportionate share of service jobs in the state. "When you start losing money, you get the mes- sage that we are trying to send because you can't func- tion Monk said. The bottom line is that South Carolina can't decide ' what to do with their flag. Georgia and Mississippi : both found ways around the pesky "Southern pride" i symbol. In 1894, Mississippi combined their state flag ! with the Confederacy flag, placing it in the up- per-left corner. Georgia didn't change their flag until the racial unrest that began in the 1950s. ! The Confederacy flag holds a more prominent ! spot on Georgia's flag. Both states are closely following the proceedings in South Carolina in : fear that they might be asked to remove the Con- federate flag image from their state flags.

"I saw something similar done at Wake For- est and immediately thought that this would be a wonderful opportunity for the ECU commu- nity Wilkinson said. "What makes this service somewhat unique is that we are an interfaith organization and we invite people.flf all fjBths and religions to utilize this service.r According to Ellen Crawford True of the Presbyte- rian Campus Ministry, the main goal of the prayer box is for the students to feel comfortable asking for any kind of prayer, big or small. Students can seek comfort in a non-threatening environment and ex- press their personal concerns and problems to the CMA. "I think it's an easier way for students to ex- press concerns and feel the concerns are taken seriously Crawford True said. "Students can express, in faith, their troubles, bless- ings and concerns said Father Tom Bonacci of the Newman Catholic Student Center. The CMA consists of 18 members, all representing different religious groups. They hold meetings twice a month where they pray for the requests from the prayer box. According to Woodruff, The CMA is also involved in different service projects for ECU and the Greenville community. The CMA values the ability to fulfill the heart-felt concerns of students. "Our goal is to lift the aspiration of prayer of the student and to give students an outlet Woodruff said.

He has been at ECU since 1994. "The job market for a political science teacher is very competitive, but E( 11 had a vacant post for some- one with my training McCurley said. "I have always wanted to teach at the college level ;His family's influence played a major role in his choices and ambi- tion. "My parents placed education above everything and they have always encouraged me to go as far as I could in my ambition McCurley said. "I chose political science because my family was very, involved politically He describes his position as "a constantly stimulating, usually challenging, never boring, some times frustrating job McCurley feels that the most rewarding part of his job is the time he spends in class. He is always ex- cited about his class sessions be- cause not only does he teach, but he also learns from his students. "I feel like my students need to know what I'm teaching McCurley said. In the political science depart- ment, he is a political science and public administration instructor. He teaches classes in American na- tional politics and voting behavior. In public adrninistration he teaches statistics and computer applications. Also, he sometimes teaches United States cultural politics. He-has good relationships with his students and tries to help those who seem to have difficulties with his sub- ject "I think my students perceive me as a demanding and a bit strange in- structor McCurley said. "It increases the level of attention in class and I like that He tries to keep his students atten- tion focused on his subject by choos- ing any topic related to the subject to discuss. He says that he thinks that some students may find this way of teaching a bit weird. Since he started teaching at ECU, McCurley said he feels he has good relationships with his colleagues as well as the students who are under his instruction. "When I first came here as a new teacher, I received a warm welcome from the faculty and staff members McCurley said. "They made me feel like I was a member of the faculty They respect my independence and my academic work. They are also very supportive Besides the eager students and helpful staff, McCurley also enjoys . the continuously changing teaching environment which he sees as a chal- lenge. Political science is not a static subject because of a constantly changing political environment. Another challenge McCurley enjoys . is that his teaching skills have to match the level of interest and abil- ity of his students. "If one has a job that is not chal- lenging and gets bored by his job, one should stay at home and watch TV McCurley said.

College student Steve Sawyer, a hemophiliac who contracted HIV and hepatitis C through unscreened blood transfusions, spoke not long ago to hundreds of students on our campus. His earthly life ended on March 13, 1999. Steve faced death with great hope and courage. How? He had come to know "the greatest love in the universe" (his favorite way to describe God). In place of battling AIDS with fear, anger and denial, Steve found his life characterized by peace. Because of his relationship with God, Steve said, "My life took on a whole new perspective And he knew that if he had reason to be hopeful and cheerful, anyone could experience that. So, at only 19 years old, in spite of his imminent death, Steve chose to travel to hundreds of college campuses to speak to fellow students. With humor, humility and warmth, he shared with them how they could live with hope, no matter what life might throw at them. Thousands of students who heard Steve would tell you that his message changed their lives forever.

However, their offense was sluggish. Their first game of the after- noon produced the most excite- ment on offense in the 1st in- ning, when Keisha Shepperson hit a single to get on first base and then proceeded to steal second and third, finally being brought home by Angela Manzo's single. Before the inning was done, Beth Bridger hit a long single to the left outfield to bring An- gela in, making the score 2-0, ECU. From there, game one of the double-header was all about deffnse. Denise Roagan held Hampton to only one hit the entire game and struck out 11 batters while Jessica Critcher and Eva Herron made some amazing catches to ensure a win for the Lady Pirates. Shortstop Angela Manzo looks to steal second against Hampton, (photo by Garrett McMillan) Game two saw no improve- ment offensively for the Lady Pirates, the lone run coming from Bridger's home run in the bottom of the 5th. "Thanks to great in-field play, our defensive strength was the key to our wins today said Hillary Halpern, the Lady Pirates' pitcher for the second game. Both Halpern and Reagan pitched terrific games and had tremendous support in holding Hampton scoreless through both games from the outstanding efforts of their teammates. "Our defense saved the day. We did what we needed to do to win the games said Herron. With their offensive efforts virtually nonexistent through both games, the ladies compensated with phenom- enal defensive plays. "There are three reasons why our softball team is doing so well this year said head coach Tracey Kee. "Outstand- ing pitching, great defensive effort, and consistent hitting. We did not have consistent hit- ting, today, but our gjrls hung in there, stayed tough, and did what they had to do to win the game In the Hudson-Hokie Clas- sic this weekend, the Lady Pi- rates continued their hitting woes against the Virginia Tech Hokies, losing to the Hokies 4-1 in the opening game Friday.

Ayana Coleman, of the women's team, set a new school record in the 200- meter hurdles and qualified for the ECAC Outdoor Cham- pionships. Coleman finished fifth overall with a time of 1:00.18. "She ran an outstanding race said head women's track coach Matt Munson. Another ECU record was bro- ken by the 1,600 sprint relay squad. The team of Rasheca Bar- row, Carmen Weldon, Martina Freeman and Lauren Chadwick, placed 13th with a time of 4:06.89. Barrow and Weldon also gave the Pirates some high finishes in the individual sprint events. Bar- row qualified for the ECAC in the 100- and 200-meters. In the 100 she placed fifth at 12.4, and in the 200 she took home 11th place. Finishing ahead of her in the 200 was Weldon, who fin- ished ninth with a time of 24.89. Weldon also qualified for the ECAC meet. ECU's sprinters also made their mark in the relays. The 4x400-relay team took home sixth place while the 4x100 placed 12th.

At parking and traffic meetings, proposals which determine the fate of the students are made. These proposals are passed without much resistance due to the lack of students presant. For example, at this past meeting, a proposal was passed that will cause fresh- men and sophomores living off campus to be unable to buy commuter stickers. ECU is a growing campus and needs as much student input as possible. Have your voice heard and come to the next meeting on APRIL 20th at 3:00 p.m. in Menclenhall, Rm. 212 $MONEY$ S.G.

A. this year, think to the future, and say where YOU want YOUR money to go. AROUND ECU The S.G.A. of ECU has been extremely active in the community as well as on campus.
