According to Nell Lewis, di- rector of the Ledonia Wright Cultural Center, board members are committed to a vision which will enable the center to act as a tool that will help the campus embrace all diverse student groups by assisting them in achieving their educational, per- sonal and social goals. "Our programs will foster the bridging of the cultural divide Lewis said. Malcolm Woodall, assistant vice chancellor for Institutional Advancement said the meeting went well. "Lots of opinions were shared and heard Woodall said. "Ev- eryone is very excited about mak- ing the center a key source for resource on campus Woodall said efforts are being made to design programs to share resources and invite other cultures to join in the experience. Dr. Lathan Turner, director of Minority Student Affairs, said he feels that in this year alone the university has made great strides in promoting diversity. "I feel we ECUj are the lead- ing institution within the UNC system dealing with and promot- ing diversity Turner said. Chancellor Eakin agreed that programs throughout the year have enabled everyone to under- stand those of different cultures for themselves. "I have seen fine improve- ments over the year Eakin said. Eakin said diversity efforts have been strongly led by Moore and Taffye Benson Clayton, di- rector of Equal Opportunity.

BSOM tests diabetes medicine administered in new way Inhaler makes for painless insulin use Martina Clyburn STAFF WRITER Researchers at ECU'S Brody School of Medicine (BSOM) have recently developed an insulin in- haler and an implantable glucose sensor as part of a study research program that aims to cut down on the amount of insulin Injections necessary for diabetics. Dr. Robert Tanenberg, 2 profes- sor of medicine in the section of endocrinology, said that ECU is one of SO centers in the country per- forming a study on the insulin In- haler and one of four centers study- ing the glucose sensor. "Our doctors have been in- volved with the national scenes and they have noticed that ECU has some good doctors in the field of diabetes Tanenberg said. Researchers are studying ways to make checking blood sugar levels and administering Insulin easier and less painful for diabetics. "The glucose sensor is more a convenient way to check your sugar level rather than pricking your fin- ger three or more times a day Tanenberg said. The sensor, which is about the the size of a beeper, is worn on a belt or in a pocket and is connected to a small tube that you put on your skin to monitor glucose levels in the CRIME SCENE ACROSS OTHER CAMPUSES April 14 Larceny-A staff member reported that a small radio was taken from an office in the Brody Outpatient Cen- ter. Larceny-A staff member reported that someone en- tered her unlocked office and stole her purse which contained numerous items. Larceny-A student re- ported that someone took his unattended book from a room in the Austin Build- ing. Lost Wallet-A staff mem- ber reported that her wallet was lost in or around Wendy's. Auto Accident-A student and a non-student were in- volved in an accident in the parking lot south of Joyner Library. Driving While License Re- voked, Displaying Fictitious Tag, Expired Registration, Failure to Apply for a Title-A non-student was arrested for the above stated charges after being stopped for a registration violation in the Quixote Travels parking lot. April 15 Attempted Breaking and Entering, Criminal Damage to Property-A student reported that 2 males tried to gain ac- cess to her Jones Residence Hall room. Window screens were damaged in the pro- cess. The suspects have been named and there is further investigation. Twenty-four-hour Lock- up-A non-student was taken in for 24-hour lock-up after officers discovered him passed out behind the Fam- ily Practice Center. The subject was extremely in- toxicated and unable to take care of himself. Hit and Ru'n-An officer discovered a vehicle dm- ' aged while on patrol on Reade Street. The owner of the vehicle was contacted. April 16 Possession of Marijuana, Underage Possession of Alco- hol-A student in Scott Resi- dence Hall was issued a CAT for the above stated charges when an officer responded to loud music coming from the room. Nine other'stu- dents were in the room and all were issued CATs for be- ing present in a room where alcohol and marijuana weie found. Miscellaneous Call, Pos- sible Property Damage-fi stu- dent in Jones Residence Hall reported that his vehicle tire was flat and would not hold air. He wanted to notify of- ficers that a subject who was previously banned was on campus Saturday night. The victim speculated that his flat could have been caused by the banned subject. Of- ficers advised that no crime had taken place. Damage to Property-A student in Umstead re- ported damage to the rear bumper of his vehicle while it was parked in the lot east of the Blount House. Duke University-In 1971, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg school dis- trict was the site of the precedent- setting U.S. Supreme Court decision, Swann v. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education, requiring local schools to achieve racial diversity, even if it meant busing students. Today, the same district lies on the opposite end of the dispute over race-based school assignments. While the school district awaits a 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals trial, stakeholders are speculating whether the judicial system will now reverse years of busing-and, some would say, significani steps toward integration. Meanwhile, residents of North Carolina are considering a way to address diversity in the state's pub- lic schools. In a case brought by seven white parents, U.S. District Judge Robert Potter ruled in September that the district cannot continue busing. The ruling found that, although dispari- ties between schools still existed, that the Charlotte-Mecklenburg school system had achieved "uni- tary status" and no longer discrimi- nated based on race. The school system appealed the case to the 4th Circuit, while two more parents joined the original seven. The court is scheduled to hear oral arguments this June. Arthur Griffin, chair of the Char- lotte-Mecklenburg Hoard of Educa- tion, insists that the 1971 Supreme Court ruling still applies to the school district because conditions have not progressed far enough in the past 30 years. "I can still see the vestiges of a dual system Griffen said. "The in- junction against race is precedent- setting in this current case. No judge has ever gone so far as to say that you can't use race as a crite- rion for school assignment Potter wrote in his decision that, "the school system is resisting the removal of the desegregation order because it now wishes to use that order as a pretext to pursue race- conscious, diversity-enhancing poli- cies in perpetuity Jim Puckett, a Board of Educa- tion member who voted against the board's 6-3 decision to appeal Potter's injunction, agreed, saying the board's focus should be educate ing low-income students regardless of race. "If I can close the educational gap between rich and poor neigh- borhoods, then I can figure out how to deal with diversity on the other side of the road Puckett said. Attorneys for the U.S. Depart- ment of Justice filed a brief with the 4th Circuit last month, arguing that Potter had not sufficiently exam- ined whether the schools remained segregated. The brief took no stance on Potter's final decision. Because of its rulings in similar cases, experts say the notoriously conservative court may confirm Potter's ruling against race-based assignment. "I would not be surprised to see them uphold the decision said Harry Wilson, the legal advisor to the North Carolina Board of Educa- tion (NCBOE). Indeed, the court ruled against -aqe-based assignment in two re- lated cases last year. The court upheld an Arlington, Va district court ruling that race could not be used as a factor in magnet school admissions and over- turned a Montgomery County, Md decision allowing schools to reject race-based transfer requests. University of Florida-Student leaders from across the state sat at the Florida Student Association meeting Monday afternoon atten- tively listening to Lt. Gov. Frank Brogan as he addressed the group on a number of issues affecting stu- dents. During his half-hour speech, Brogan focused on convincing stu- dents of what he called the positive aspects of Gov. Jeb Bush's One Florida plan. The plan gets rid of racial and gender preferences in college admis- sions and hiring and contracting practices in the state. Brogan said quotas, set-asides and price-preferences are wrong when it limits one group of people and benefits another. Therefore, he said, a new principle is needed to ensure diversity. He said the two groups of people most likely opposing One Florida are minorities and political leaders who "don't really care about the stu- dents He also said he respected minori- ties because they have worked hard over the years for the opportunity to receive a quality education. "I understand their fear he said, adding that there is usually fear when a significant change occurs. But he said pre-college prepara- tion was a key element for the plan t6 be successful. Right now, 26 counties in Florida do not offer advanced place- ment courses. He said elimination of racial consideration will bring forth a greater "out-reach" toward minority students in high school, while encouraging them to do well in their academics and take the PSAT as well as SAT for preparation. Brogan also mentioned the Talented 20 portion of One Florida. Talented 20 is designed to re- ward the top 20 percent of every high school's graduating class by guaranteeing them admission to a state university, but it will not re- strict students outside that 20 per- cent. "A few schools do not use racial consideration in their admissions criteria, such as the University of North Florida, and yet the minor- ity enrollment has increased Bro- gan said. "Just give us time. We will guarantee better minority enroll- ment in the State University System. This is a fact SGA NOTES Treasurer Overton Harper an- nounced that $18,200 in SGA loans have been paid back, leav- ing a $21,600 balance. Harper said that 47 percent of the loans have been paid back in full and reminded legislators that records would be tagged if the loans are not paid back. Brent Queen, the newly elected SGA president announced that the executive council nomi- nated junior Robert Nicks to be the Attorney General fpr the 2000-01 school year. The body voted unanimously to instate Nicks. Executive coordinator of in- ternal affairs Jenny Stein thanked those members who attended the campus safety walk last week and reported that progress had been made to remedy some of the problems. Cliff Webster made his last ad- dress to the SGA as president and thanked members for a memo- rable and productive year. The body approved constitu- tions for the following organiza- tions: Alpha Kappa Psi profes- sional business fraternity, New Life Christian Fellowship, Golden Key National Honor Society and Epsilon Chi fraternity. Representatives also moved to transfer $3000 to the senior class account to fund the traditional senior class gift to the university. blood. According to Carolyn Knuckee, a practical nurse at the BSOM, the insulin inhaler is less painful than a needle because the insulin is in- haled into the lungs. The inhaler is also more effective because the in- sulin is released into the blood stream faster through Inhalation than it is with the ingestion of oral medication. Janet Heath, who is a user of the insulin inhaler, was introduced to the study because of a publication at ECU that stated a need for people to help assist in a neuropathy study. "When they checked the ques- tionnaire, they discovered that I fit the diabetic research requirements, because I took oral medicine and had a controlled sugar level Heath said. Heath has been using the inhaler since the second week in December and says her sugar levels have been excellent. According to Heath, there are three categories of this study. "The first was to use the inhaler only, the second group the one she was picked for used the Inhaler and their medication, while the last group continued to use only their medication Heath said. "I am doing very well and have' not had any problems she said, "I'm hoping that my regular doctor i will take me off of my oral medica- � tion �! Knuckee said that there have been no safety problems with the inhaler. � i "The inhaler has had no side-ef- fects and is simple to use Heath said, "The study has also paid for my : oral medication which is a little over $100 a month Dr. Tanenberg said the study' should be complete by the end of this year and the inhaler and sensqr; should be on the market in 2001.

Columbine students, staff warily approach anniversary LITTLETON, Colo. (AP)-As the anniversary of the Columbine High School attack nears, many students, teachers and victims' relatives are striving to insulate themselves from the world's attention. .They have stood shoulder to shoulder facing the media, patiently answering questions with wavering voices and watery eyes. Some have asked for privacy as they observe Thursday's anniversary. Al and Phyllis Velasquez, whose son Kyle was killed, considered leaving the city but instead will have a pot- luck dinner with family and friends. To me, running away would be like we're ashamed Al Velasquez said. His wife added, "There's no shame .

Those are things we've been able to hold at bay until this point Principal Frank DeAngelis estimated about 5 per- cent to 10 percent of the student body up to 200 will attend a closed memorial service Thursday, based on attendance at other school shootings. "The anniversary is definitely a milestone said Jefferson County School District spokeswoman Marilyn Saltzman. "Staff and students are feeling that it is com- ing, and I don't think anybody knows how they are going to feel on that day School officials expect up to 100,000 people to at- tend a public memorial service Thursday afternoon at a park adjacent to Columbine. It will be followed by a candlelight vigil. A separate service will be held at the State Capitol, where Gov. Bill Owens will call for a moment of si- lence at 11:21 a.m the time the attack began. Relatives of at least four victims plan to attend a service Thursday afternoon at the nearby Trinity Chris- tian Center. It was organized by Darrell Scott, whose daughter, Rachel, was slain. Security will be increased at Columbine and other district schools, but officials decline to be more spe- cific. Students and educators have been required all year to wear identification badges. It was nearly lunch time when Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold strode onto Columbine's campus and opened fire, killing two students outside the school. They en- tered the building, scattered gunfire and explosive de- vices and fatally shot 10 more classmates and teacher Dave Sanders before they committed suicide. The rampage, the worst school shooting in U.S. his- tory, has cost nearly $9 million In expenses incurred by public agencies who responded last April 20, and ongoing investigative and counseling expenses. The parents of the both teen-age gunmen have again apologized to the victims.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP)-North Carolina business owners need to cooperate with federal officials to stop hackers causing millions of dollars in damage to corporate and government computer systems, of- ficials said. North Carolina has become a home to both hackers and their vic- tims, FBI agents said at the annual forum of the N.C. Electronics and Information Technologies Associa- tion. "We need your help in identify- ing the problem said Chris Swecker, special agent in charge of the Charlotte FBI office. "We need to know what's out there on the cyber-street, so to speak Robert Young, chairman of Red Hat Inc a Durham-based software supplier, said the primary responsi- bility for stopping hackers lies with businesses. By adopting strong se- curity measures and fixing the holes that hackers exploit, businesses can make the problem eventually go away, he said. FBI agents investigating com- puter hacking that disrupted popu- lar Web sites, including Amazon.com, CNN, and Yahoo! ear- lier this year have identified several North Carolina victims, said Doris Gardner, supervisory agent of Charlotte's FBI computer crimes unit. The investigation has also iden- tified computer systems in North Carolina used by hackers to com- mit such attacks, she said Thursday. This summer, the FBI plans to form a task force with businesses to share information and alerts about hacking attempts. It will also survey North Carolina businesses to see how many have been the victims of cyber-terrorists. Swecker said prosecutions of hackers have been slow because of the reluctance of businesses to re- port security intrusions for fear of bad publicity and lost business. Gardner noted that too many corporations emphasize the speed and accessibility of their computer systems at the expense security. One target of FBI investigators is a hacker who recently confessed to intruding into 400 computer sys- tems worldwide within four months and using them to launch "a distrib- uted denial of service" attack against a North Carolina company, Gardner said. The technique involves hacking into computers and using them to direct a flood of messages into com- puters that run Web sites, over- whelming them and making the sites inaccessible to customers. The attack is relatively simple for most hackers, Gardner said. Gardner and Swecker wouldn't discuss specifics of the North Caro- lina connection, but Swecker told the business group to expect a wave of prosecutions soon. "These are high-dollar damages and some of these people need to go away for a while he said. TRAINING Put that college degree to use by enrolling into the Air Force Officer Training School.

AH five Leanna Young, Janet Crisp, Paul Evington, Scott Gaddy and Rock Edwards were fired or forced to resigned because of alle- gations of misconduct, including having sex with a prostitute in a police substation. But in a lawsuit filed last year, the five contend they were forced to leave their jobs for offenses regu- larly committed by other officers. The allegations were laid out in de- tail in court documents filed this month. An attorney for the city, Sharon Tracey Barrett, called the lawsuit's allegations "nothing but a collec- tion of unfounded rumors, vicious. gossip and scurrilous personal at- tacks" in a written response filed in the case. Police Chief Will Annarino de- clined to comment. The city has asked a judge to dis- miss the lawsuit, and a federal judge may decide soon whether to allow the case to proceed. The court documents contain the following charges: �That one of the former officers attended Fraternal Order of Police (FOB) parties "where the officers consumed great quantities of alco- hol and gambled The lawsuit claims no action was taken against the officers at the party. �That at another FOP party, "It was common knowledge that a fe- male police officer and another woman were sexually involved on the hood of a car �That a longtime police officer was demoted, but kept his job, af- ter a former city council member's relative caught the officer having sex with a prostitute at a police sub- station. �That a lieutenant and a patrol officer both had drinking problems and were intoxicated on duty but continued to work and drive ve- hicles. �That an officer was caught gam- bling on videotape. The department received a copy of the tape but did not discipline the officer. Evington admitted in court documents that he had oral sex with a prostitute inside a satellite police station in 1997. The woman per- formed oral sex for Evington, and he gave her $3 for a pack of ciga- rettes. ELIAN "from page 3 over. The relatives want the court to let them meet with Elian's father without being required to let Elian go- The Justice Department also pointedly reminded the great-uncle, Lazaro Gonzalez, that he lost legal custody of Elian on Thursday when he defied the government's demand that he take the boy to the airport for a flight to Washington. Elian's father has been waiting there since April 6. A Newsweek poll released Satur- day found that a majority of Ameri- cans now felt the family was not co- operating enough with government and court efforts to resolve the case. A majority also disapproved of the Clinton administration's handling of the case. Both disapproval numbers were up from a week earlier. But the same amount-53 percent-thought Elian should be returned to his father in Cuba. The poll was conducted among 752 adults on April 13-14 and the results have a 4 percentage point error margin. Also Saturday, President Clinton, speaking in the Sequoia National Forest in California, said: "We have to let the court cases be decided, but I think the main thing is 1 hope all the people who came to the United States because we have freedom and rule of law will observe the rule of law A few hours after Clinton's com- ments, a lawyer for the family stepped outside the home and told the crowd of 400 that the family would not try to stop the govern- ment from taking the boy, but it would not help. "The family respects the rule of law. The family recognizes and ac- cepts the legal right of the INS to pick up Elian said Manny Diaz. "The door will be open The fam- ily will not interfere. The family will not resist Early Sunday, one demonstrator exhorted others to begin bringing their own video cameras to record what happens when the govern- ment moves in. Bienvenido Comas, 27, of Miami, said protest organiz- ers fear that if any violence erupts, it would be blamed on them. "We fear there could be another Waco he said. "The threat is there, and we have to take precautions While there was no indication Saturday of precisely when the gov- ernment would seek to reunite Elian Communications Majors The ECU Athletic Department's Media Relations Office is seeking to hire enthusiastic student assistants for the 2000-2001 academic year, preferably freshmen and sophomores. It's a great opportunity to gain valuable experience in the field of communications. If interested, call the media relations office at 328-4522 to set up an appointment with his father, many protesters in Little Havana said they feared the moment would come Monday-the anniversary of the disastrous Bay of Pigs invasion. On April 17, 1961, a force of CIA-trained Cuban exiles tried to invade Cuba and overthrow the government of Fidel Castro. Cuban forces easily repelled the invasion at the swampy, mosquito-ridden inlet on the country's southern coast, killing 200 rebels and captur- ing almost 1,200. Cuba's victory became the defin- ing moment for Miami's Cuban ex- iles, who accused President John F. Kennedy of betraying them by fail- ing to back up the invasion force with aerial cover. "It's important that they not win this one said Maria Miller, who said her brother fought in the inva- sion. Early in the day, amid shouts of coward and traitor, the crowd be- gan chanting: "Elian shouldn't leave. The one who should leave is his father Elian has been in Miami since he was rescued by fishermen who found him clinging to an inner tube in the Florida Straits on Thanksgiv- EAST CAROLINA DANCE THEATRE PRESENTS ing. His mother and 10 other people fleeing Cuba drowned when their boat sank. His Miami relatives have cared for him since then and have been fighting in court for an asylum hear- ing. The Clinton administration has ordered Elian be reunited with his father, saying only he can speak for the boy on immigration matters. The relatives are appealing a federal judge's ruling that upheld the government's decision. The lawyer for Elian's father, Gregory Craig, on Saturday harshly criticized repeated the allegations of abuse. He called the tactic a desper- ate effort to influence the court pro- ceedings. Residents of Elian's hometown of Cardenas, Cuba, have repeatedly told The Associated Press that Elian's parents, though divorced, had a very good relationship. Craig also noted that in March, Elian's cousin Marisleysis called Juan Miguel Gonzalez "a loving and good father" and said she was look- ing forward to seeing Elian's face when they were reunited.

It is horrible that some students on our campus cannot take advantage of the same campus services that so many of us take for granted. OURVIEW While the students of ECU have been dealing with the minority discrimination problem downtown for a while, TEC has given this problem heavy coverage. It is a shame that we still have to write about the discrimination that goes on in our bars, and that minori- ties still have to worry about whether they will be allowed to have a good time in a public establishment. Although racial discrimination is obviously a problem in Greenville, we would like to remind everyone of another type of discrimination that ECU seems to have a problem with: thp fact that this campus is still not 100 percent handicap accessible. While it is not fair that minorities cannot go into certain bars, it is even worse that physically handicapped students cannot enter certain buildings on our own campus. Take for example, the Student Publications Building and the campus post office. While Student Pubs may have a ramp and automatic doors outside the building, there is still no way a handi- capped individual can access the second floor. These same indi- viduals also have no way to pick up packages at University Mail Services located in the Old Cafeteria Complex. It is horrible that some students on our campus cannot take advantage of the same campus services that so many of us take for granted. Furthermore, there are still some residence halls that are .not handicap accessible. When students are deciding where to live, a lot of factors are considered. Most of us do not have to think about whether we can even get into the residence hall of our choice, while sadly some students do. The next time you find yourself in a deep conversation about how evil all the bar owners of downtown Greenville are for prevent- ing students of all types from entering their Buildings, think about the forgotten discrimination problem on our campus: that not ev- ery ECU student is able to enter all buildings on this 'diverse' cam- pus. OPINION COLUMN More asinine Web sites uncovered Ryan Kennemur OPINION COLUMNIST If you have been a loyal reader of my col- umn for the past few years, then you no doubt have gathered that I am a big fan of the Internet. Since I showed up here four years agoI have grown more and more aware of and amazed by the idea of surfing the World Wide Web. You know it's that thing that Al Gore invented. I find the internet to be helpful with papers and a great reference for personal interests such as music (porn), art (porn) and even sewing (well, you know). The only problem that I see regarding the Internet, other than an overall lacking of pho- tographs of nimble young men and women who really "love" vegetables, is that there are so many sites devoted to the most useless topics imaginable. That's why I, being a professional in the area of sneering at things I don't under- - stand, took it upon myself to scope out a few of these renegade Web sites and present them to you, the reader, with no small amount of sar- casm. Here's a few just to whet the palate. Aban- don all hope, all ye who visit these sites. The Cow Dance Site-www.cowdance.com-I stumbled onto this site via the similar Hamster Dance site that was permanently on the com- puter in "The East Carolinians newsroom. The idea is simple. Draw a gaggle (or is it flock?) of cows in various costumes and use Java to make them line dance. You've got your Disco Cow, your Cow Rockettes and of course, the cow- headed dancing MC Hammer-each one cutting a rug to the "Moosic" of your choice. What pur- pose does this Web site serve? Apparently some- one out there likes it because there are now sites devoted to bizarre dancing animals like lizards, armadillos and oddly enough, Dixie Carter. My final analysis: Make it stop! Oh God, please make it stop! Sparky the Dog-www.amused.com Sparky.html-This site is just plain odd. Some guy named Mahir took the time out of his oth- erwise busy day (he looks to be some sort of suit salesman) to make a Web site devoted to a badly drawn dog named Sparky. The crazy thing is, the speaker of the site is actually the cartoon dog. He says things like "I like kiss you and make love you leg "I have squeezie toys, nice bowl" and "I like sex Also, the scrappy 111' guy seems to have a sense of pride, as every third sentence is "I NOT NEUTERED My final analysis: Obvi- ously a pioneer in non-neutered, poorly drawn doggie sites. Makes me wonder what the word neuter means. Mullets Galore-www.mulletsgalore.com-Out of all the sites I've seen lately, this one just boggles my fragile little mind. This is a 12-page site deal- ing with the "mullet" hairstyle, which is some- times called a "seven" or an "el camino The style, if you have never visited Winn Dixie on a Sun- day, is short in the front and long in the back. Or as the site puts it, "business up front, party in the back The site consists of pictures taken by random mullet hunters across the country, all featuring these haircuts in their own habitat. The site even devised scientific names for the different types of mullets. In fact, the site has a rating system called "Mulletude" and also tries to identify the hobbies and interests of the people pictured. My final analysis: These people are just so sorry look- ing, and I feel bad for saying this, that I couldn't turn away. In fact, I can still see them when I close my eyes. It's that bad. If you're ever feeling down and out, visit this .site. It'll give you a new lease on life unless your picture is there. OK, we have time for one more. This one is actually one of my favorites. Wu-Name-www.recordstore.comwuname-It's a site dedicated to the Wu-Tang Clan rap group, all of whom have their own little nifty nicknames like Big 01' Dirty Baby Bastard. This site gives the average person his or her own personal Wu-Name. Mine is Ryan "Tha Lazy Destroya" Dogg. But I couldn't stop! There's also David "Monolithic Fish- monger-X" Crosby, Kris "01' Filthy, Sweaty Bas- tard" Kristofferson and, of course, Elian "Tha Childish Gambino" Gonzalez. My final analysis: A very helpful Web site that deals with pop cul- ture and how it affects us as a populace. Also, if I didn't know about this site, I'd never know that my girlfriend is actually the "Jive Talkin' Choir- girl That's all for this week. I'll have more next week, so if you have a site that you think needs to be written about, write to me at the address below. Take care of yourself, and each other.

Yeah, that's right, I'm sick. But I'm not the "man-my-nose-is-running-I-got-a-head- ache" kind of sick. Seems as though a recent checkup at the good old doctor's office revealed to me that I have astronomical cholesterol levels (over 350) and even higher triglyceride levels (can you say "1699"). Yeah, I live in the South and eat pork right off the bone so I'm just get- ting what I deserve right? Wrong answer. I got the news about two weeks ago and since then I have been trying to eat right and exercise more. I guess that girl who wrote in about idiots in the rec center is gonna get mad that this weight room newbie is now taking up her precious stair- master time. After my fat-burning and cholesterol devour- ing workouts, I usually decide to go to campus and get a healthy meal since I still have a meal plan and some declining balance. The conversa- tion with the workers there usually sounds like this: Urn, can I get that Healthy Choice turkey and lettuce deli wrap please? Sure honey, here you go. Thanks. How much is it? That comes to $5.88 including the small Diet Pepsi and the tan- gerine. Can you believe that? Six dollars to eat low fat and low calorie foods You can get two slices of grease-soaked pizza and a drink for $2.99 (its a "special" while everything else ain't.) No won- der they are charging extra tuition to maintain the buildings. Too many students are eating the high fat and high calorie food and they have to use the rec center more and more so they can burn it all off. I smell a conspiracy. They jack up the healthy foods' prices while dropping the unhealthy ones so people will get fat and use the multi-million dollar rec center! Ingenious! Why is it so hard to get healthy food on cam- pus? I want to eat right, I need to eat right, my cardiologist begs me to eat right, so why doesn't the university? Don't even get me started on the dining hall's pathetic attempt at "healthy living Since when does a TYR (Treating Yourself Right) salmon cake count as healthy when they cook it in deep fat fryers and bake it on greasy ovens that look like something out of the Middle Ages? The salads are a poor excuse for garbage, let alone food. The lettuce is so old you can blow bubbles with it and the cucumbers and green peppers have taken on a slight urine smell. Um, hey, can I get some fresh lettuce? Is that too much to ask? I pay $1,400 dollars a semester for this, so I kind of would like something fresh to eat when I go in there. One's health is something that should not be toyed with. I have relatives that are fighting the same things I am now and they tell me how lucky I was to catch it this early in my life. What in the hell am I supposed to do about it if everything is priced so far out of any normal person's finan- cial reach that they must resort to the infamous $2.99 pizza special? Hell, at Wendy's I can get two Double Stacks with cheese, a Biggie order of french fries and a medium water for $2.83 with my student dis- count. Now, if I have $3 in my pocket and want to eat healthy, what kind of choice do I have? None. It's either go to Wendy's and eat fattening foods or eat at the Wright Place and pay $3 for a fat-free yogurt and a Diet Caffeine Free Pepsi which couldn't fill up a shot glass, let alone my stomach. No wonder the rec center is becoming so crowded. The school is forcing them to use it af- ter eating all the low-price-grease-soaked-man- this-is-good-but-I-can-hear-my-arteries-clogging- from-here kind of food. Shame on you, Dining Services. Hey can I have your mailing address? Why, you ask? Well I need somewhere to send the biil for all of my heart treatment and medi- cation, that's why. You broke it, you buy it.

Miccah Smith OPINION COLUMNIST Once again, here I am in front of the com- puter, sans opinion, with a major case of liter- ary stage fright, if that's possible. I think it's possible, anyway, because the idea of you all reading this (which you will) and then talking to me about it later (which you will), makes me feel like I should have something relevant, if not wildly hilarious, to say. I have just been told by my editor that I should write my opinion on the diversification of the ECU Board of Trustees. Here's my chance to drag out the old P.C. jargon and confuse the hell out of myself and others, while winning gen- eral acclaim for my open-mindedness. So I will. As a student at ECU, my views on the diversi- fication of the Board are, in themselves, diverse, and possess many unique elements. Therefore, I cannot advocate one over the other, since to give one precedence would be discriminatory to the others, whose intrinsic value and worth I strive to recognize, nay, celebrate. Yes, I celebrate my diverse and rich ideas, refusing to select the "best" from among them. My mind is a global marketplace, brimming with a heterogeneous, yet strangely homogenized, mixture of ideas and viewpoints which I myself rarely understand. How can I "weed out" the "in- ferior" or "incorrect" thoughts, when to some person in my audience, they may make perfect sense? Now I'm beginning to think some very ugly thoughts about my editor, whose suggestion that I actually select one thought from my own well- spring of valuable ideas, to exploit it for the en- tertainment or "education" of others, and to de- value all my other opinions for its sake is, in my opinion, not only cruel but ludicrous! Perhaps if I sued her, she'd open her eyes and see how truly biased she is, and I could buy a new car Furthermore, I really should not attempt to share my diverse and colorful viewpoints with anyone, lest I leave one out and subject myself to a self-lawsuit on the grounds of ideological dis- crimination. Therefore, I will remain silent on this matter, not wishing to offend any of my radically different brain cells, whose constant strivings toward harmony have prompted me to write a book called How I Pretend That Diversity and Unity are the Same Thing So My Head Doesn't Explode.

There are actually liter-free loca- tions worldwide where housing developments have yet to replace the virtually untouched natu- ral habitat that was here long before human in- habitants. Next time you are planning a vacation and you think you need a break from the push and shove of everyday life, try one of these peaceful destinations to get the most out of your time off. Baja, Califs-Imagine a place with two dis- tinct oceans surrounding the land you stand upon. Can you picture spending time in a desti- nation with four unique ecosystems, each one vastly different than the one before? If that is not enough, tourists at the Seammons Lagoon are able to spend two-and-a half days up close and personal with over 23 dif- ferent species of whales. Amazingly, these whales are known for their play- ful manner and Interac- tion with visitors. After that incredible experi- ence, going to the La Unlca Wilderness Retreat is a wonderful place to reflect as well as spend time in a serene setting. Rivers Bend Campground, VtFew things in life are more relaxing than spending a weekend in the great outdoors, as demonstrated by John Candy in the film dubbed the ladder term. Realistically though, there really is great calmness in spending time in a natural setting. At Rivers Bend Campground in New Haven, Vt campers get just that, peace, quiet and a whole lot of fun! From biking and tubing to canoeing, campers and visitors alike attain a great sense of solidarity from a weekend of relaxation in one of the 65 RV or tent sites located directly on the river bank. The setting is picturesque with the peaks the jTearbyGjeenJjjtoitains in sight as well as Lake �:Champlain close byAlthough it is the wilder- ness, the RVs as well as camp sites offer hot water and clean restroom facilities, two com- ' modifies that make" the experience even more enjoyable! Babson Park Nature Center, FlaThis lush and diverse region is unique in that it is nothing new among the surface of Florida. For millions of years, the sea covered the plains of Florida except for the narrow ridge that has come to be known as Lake Wales Ridge. After the Ice Ages, water began to recede and.land was ex- posed, both sea creatures as well as new animal forms began to expand their territory into this re- gion. As a result, Lake Whales hosts the likes of all types of creatures, especially those that are rare and endangered in North America. With desert like soils, animals as uncommon as the sand skink and the Indigo snake live here. Also, the re- gion has become a highly regarded spot for bota- nists because it produces plants such as the scrub blazing star and the scrub palm, two ex- tremely rare plant forms. Campus groups fail to recognize Earth Day Students' environmental interest declines Kristen Monte FEATURES WRITER On April 22, 2000, Earth Day will be a celebration of 30 years of the modern environmental movement. Here at ECU, plans for this day are falling short of the celebrations taking place around the globe. According to David Merrill, President of the Envi- ronmental Conservation Organization of ECU (ECO- ECU), the club has no plans for Earth Day because of their low membership. "I think that a lot of students are Just apathetic Merrill said. "Another problem is that students come to the meetings and then don't want to participate in any activities The main goal of the club, as stated in their consti- tution, is to raise the environmental awareness of the campus. ECO-ECU played large role in acquiring the recy- cling bins that are on campus now, but almost all other pro- posed projects have been turned down by school adminis- tration or did not happen due to a lack of participation. "To get things done we need to get money from the SGA, gain a lot of student interest and"change the administrations' views Merrill said. Environmental activism has often been a subject of debate on college campuses, and support from ad- ministration and larger student organizations had to be gained through hard work and determination in 1970, when the movement to preserve the beauty and; bio-diversity of our planet began. The first Earth Day was marked by thousands of colleges and universities protesting against the dete- rioration of the environment. This led to the creation of the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the passage of the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act and the Endangered Species Act, according to the Earth Day Network. "The objective was to organize a national demonstra tion of concern for the environment so large that it would shake up the political establishment and force this issue onto the national agenda said Gay lord Nelson, Earth Day founder. "It was a gamble, but it worked As Earth Day 2000 approaches, the celebrations will focus on the beginning of the new millennium and fo- cus on the need for clean energy, according to Denis Hayes, National Coordinator of the first Earth Day and Chair of the Earth Day Network.

Carnival rides, prize booths and shag music served as a backdrop for the heart of the annual celebration devoted to one thing: the pursuit of a perfect plate of barbecue. Chefs and amateurs alike came from all over east- ern North Carolina to show off their pig-cooking skills and help raise money for ECU. Booths were decorated with everything from Wild West building fronts (con- structed on a miniature scale) to pig paraphernalia to a mock ECU bus. It wasn't the props that caught your eye, but the free food. "Have some fried turkey and catfish "Have you eaten yet? We got some great hushpuppies and "All these cupcakes have got to be eaten by somebody were only a few of the things people said to get us to stuff ourselves with their food. For many, the Great Purple Gold Pigskin Pigout Party is an all-night party, centered around one pig on the cooker and friends watching it cook. "We come out here, have a party and invite all our friends said John Wormell, ECU alumnus and Greenville Utilities Commission technician. Although it is a party, there is still an element of competition in every group. "Our pig should win 'cause we sat here all night and cooked it Wormell said. "It takes a lot of Captain Morgan to cook a pig Wormell said he comes out for fun, competition and good barbecue, but his daughter Kersti Wormell knows the real reason Daddy and his friends come. "They're drinking beer Kersti Wormell said. ECU faculty and current stu- dents came out as well for the party. Frank Salaman, the director of din- ing services, said he came out be- cause his neighbor was cooking a pig, but the idea of being sur- rounded by North Carolina barbe- cue perked his interest as well. "I love North Carolina BBQ be- cause it tastes good Salaman said. "This is an excellent event, and my family and I are having a great time One ECU student, junior James Tatum, found the Great Purple Gold Pigskin Pigout Party with the shag music and fried turkey unique. "It was a very interesting cul- tural experience from eastern North Carolina Tatum said. Whether you went for the fire- works, rides that put centrifugal force to new and sickening uses, game booth venders who have an entirely different perception of the word small and the meaning of a dollar or all the food, the Great PurpleGold Pigskin Pigout Party was truly a snapshot of the culture of eastern North Carolina.

Stuffed, ceramic pigs congregate around grill Leslie Deaton II cooks in good company Susan Wright FEATURES EDITOR The grounds of the Great Pirate PurpfeGold Pig- skin Pigout Party is dotted with various vender booths, metal barrel pig cookers, food tables and a band booth Pink and white, shiny stainless steel utensils sur- rounded by hundreds of inanimate pigs can be found at the booth of Leslie Deaton II, award-winning barbe- cue chef. What is the secret to Deaton's delicious barbecue? According to him, the sauce and the presentation of the meat is what takes the prize every time. "We can cook a pretty pig Deaton said. "It's got to have a crisp skin, and the meat has got to be moist. The sauce is real important, too. "If I told you what's in the sauce, I'd have to kill you Deaton said. We've been working at it, trial and error, for three years now In Deaton's opinion, the best sauce is mild, not to spicy but with a good strong flavor. Considering the judges' overtaxed palates, that is understandable. "My sauce is mild; I don't really like a hot or spicy sauce Deaton said. "The judges like a real mild sauce. They have to taste 40 or SO plates of BBQ Beyond his barbecue passion, Deaton is a project engineer in Roanoke Rapids, N.C. He began entering in pig cooking contests seven years ago, after a friend asked him to build a pig cooker. "I built a cooker for somebody else because they talked me into it, and then I figured I might as well build one for myself Deaton said. The pig cooker he uses, which took him three years to build, is surrounded by little pigs. Ceramic, plastic, stuffed and glass; he's got all types. He didn't start the collection because he had a passion for little toy pigs; it started itself. "Well, it seems like every holiday, that's what I get now Deaton said. "Everybody gets me pigs Barbecue cooking is addictive, according to Deaton. His only warning for anyone considering starting their own barbecue grill is not to get hooked because it Is habit forming. Deaton has been cooking up his special barbecue for four years, and by now, he's got a good thing going. He took second out of 85 contestants last weekend, and he is looking forward to a good finish in Above: Leslie Deaton, II and Leslie Deaton stand proudly in front of their pig display.

For anyone who has never tried eastern North Carolina barbecue and looks on split-open pigs with apprehen- sion instead of salivating with delight and anticipa- tion, Deaton has a little of his expert opinion to share. "I've had it all all the types of barbecue, and I like this the best Deaton said. "I like the taste of it. I eat mine with coleslaw and hushpuppies � Deaton and his son Leslie Deaton III will probably be back next year to cook again. If you have a craving; for some moist barbecue with mild sauce for your pat- ate and a cute array of piggy paraphernalia for your eyes, the Deaton booth is the place to stop.

We have been living together since August, I would never say that she was promiscuous, but she has been dating this guy for a while and lately they have been fighting a lot. That's not why I think she's pregnant though. I think she may be pregnant be- cause she wears jumpers, big sweatshirts and other clothes trying to hide a little extra weight, but she doesn't eat anything! She even drinks pickle brine because someone told her that it had negative calo- ries to help her lose weight. She sleeps at random hours, and she never has enough energy to do any- thing. How can I approach her with- out causing a huge fight? -Pregnant Pauses Dear Pregnant Pauses, This is one situation that I would wait for your roommate to come to you with the issue rather than you going to her. If she is up- set about the fact that she Is preg- nant or if she is considering an abortion, she probably doesn't want anyone, including her room- mate to know. In many families, a pregnancy outside of wedlock is still consid- ered disgraceful, so this is an issue that must be handled with sensi- tivity and gentleness. Your curios- ity is not worth her emotions right now, so wait and she'll tell you when she's ready. Dear Marjorie, My roommate has moved in with her boyfriend, and she's never here anymore. All of her friends know, but she still hasn't told her parents. They call for her constantly, but she's never here. She tells us to lie to her mom and dad for her. I still have some morals left, and this really bothers me. I don't want to lie anymore. -Compelling Conscience Dear Compelling Conscience, How much do you like7our roommate? The only reason I ask is if you really don't like her much, this situation is easily remedied. Leave her parents hints like "We haven't seen her for a couple of days" and "she's really been seeing a lot of that Nick-guy and eventu- ally they will stop calling for her. You could also ask her to get a sec- ond line and have all the calls for- warded to his house, and that way her parents would be none the wiser. Really though, if mom and dad have called at random times like 5 in the morning and their daughter is not there, do you think that they are so naive to believe that she is just studying or running early that day? Mom and dad probably al- ready know, so by lying to them still you are just hurting your reputation and continuing the annoying calls. Put an end to it with the truth. If you have any questions or queries contact Marjorie at marjorie@tec. ecu. edu. "Earth Day has always been about everyday people taking ac- tion in their own communities for a cleaner, healthier environment Hayes said. "This year, with hun- dreds of millions of people around the world participating in the big- gest Earth Day yet, we will take real steps toward a cleaner, healthier environment for our future Although" there are many ideas for improving the environment, such as alternative energy sources and waste disposal, nothing will happen without people's participa- tion. This may sound overwhelming, but there are many simple things that people can do everyday to take steps towards a cleaner Earth. Cam- pus activism has been a key con- tributor to the successes of the envi- ronmental movement, according to the Earth Day Network, so get in- volved a little or get involved a lot, but do get involved.

I he Raiders surprised every one by choosing kicker -Sebastian Janikowskj with the 17th overall pick and punter Shane Lechler in the fifth round on Sunday. This is something that we needed to improve on said Coach Jon Gruden of his team'i kicking game. Most teams chose more con ventional draft picks. Surprisingly, quarterback Joe Hamilton of Georgia tech. run- ner-up for the Heisman Trophy, was the 234th overall pick. He wasn't picked by the Bucs until the 7th round. i Student causes trouble for Valentine The University of Pennsylva- nia student who posted com- ments from New York Mets man- ager Bobby Valentine's talk at Penn's Wharton School of Busi- ness has publicly apologized for the incident. He apologized to the team iand its fans, and added that, "much of the information in- eluded in the post was not toil "If I were to know that post would end up in the hand "the vast media, I would never have made such a post the stu- dent, who identified himself only by his screen name, Brad34, wrote on the Web site Sunday, disparaging comments ipparently blown'out of proportion on the student Web site, although the information ; was based on the speech given by Valentine.

This is the truth, and I wish I could have foreseen such con- sequences so I could have nipped this in the bud , . .���' Sabres fans unite to express displeasure Wilson highlights day with run Stephen Schramm SPORTS EDITOR The ECU football team held their final scrimmage of the 2000 spring practice period Sat- urday at a very wet Dowdy- Ficklen Stadium. The team prac- ticed for 75 minutes under a sometimes driving rain. "It was a little sloppy with the rain said quarterback David Garrard. "Coming out here in front of the crowd, some of the younger guys are a little ner- vous, but I think everybody came out here and played hard today. I think everybody played to the best of their abilities and I was proud of every one of them They began the scrimmage with a game pitting the first- team offense against the first- team defense. The highlight of the day came when running back Jamie Wilson broke free for a 58-yard touchdown on the third play from scrimmage. "It was zone left Wilson said. "Our guys got their hats on the right people and a couple of people missed Wilson finished the day with 77 yards on eight carries. Another key moment in the contest came when quarterback Richard Alston hit Marcellus Harris for a 44-yard touchdown strike. Also providing some fire- works in the passing game was Garrard. Garrard went 7-of-14 for 77 yards, including a 16-yard touchdown pass to Torey Mor- ris. Alston finished the day 8-of- 16 for 105 yards. "I was happy to see the big plays, and I was glad to see the guys make big plays Garrard said. "Of course there was some misfortune, but the defense has got to make plays too For the defense, John Williamson intercepted a pass and returned it 31 yards for a score. "We've done a lot of good things; what you don't want to see is one unit dominate the other said Head Coach Steve Logan. "I think you saw today that it was a back and forth event. Hopefully, this means that we will be competitive on both sides of the ball this year The scrimmage marked the end of the Pirates' spring drills. The next time the teams will practice will be in August when they start their preseason drills. This writer can be contacted at sports@tec.ecu.edu. ECU football player Clenton Cochran gets taken down by a pair Emily Richardson) of teammates during Saturday's scrimmage, (photo by Pirates take two from ECU's record stands at 32-10 Kyle Barnes STAFF WRITER Buffalo Sabres tans are still ruffled over last Friday's no-goal controversy. With the Sabres down 2-0 in their first-round play- off series with Philadelphia, fans were all abuzz about John LeClafrV goal that led to the Fly- ers 2-1 win. The controversy stemmed from the fact that the no-goal call was allowed to stand even after video footage proved that the puck entered through a hole in the side of the net. "It's unfortunate that it hap- pened NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said Sunday during Fox Sports New York's coverage of the Florida-New Jersey playoff game. There is nothing wrong with the system, rt just hap- pened, Bettman said. Although fan-based upset was clear, Bettman made a good point about the way the game is played. "Out of 6,000 goals, If this happens a handful of times you have to live with it If anyone had suspected anything was vthey replay officials ! have taken their time Do we want six hour games or do we want toflay hockey?" t Last weekend's road trip ended on a positive note for the ECU baseball team as they notched their first away wins against Richmond since 1994. In Friday's match up the Pi- rates would get on the board first, with RBI singles in the early innings by Nick Schnabel and John Williamson. The Spiders offense would answer in the bot- tom of the third with a two-run homer by Matt Craig, which then made the score 3-2. Each team would add one more run in the middle innings, but the story would be told in the eighth inning as Spider hit- ter Vito Chiaravalloti homered to make the final score Spiders 6, Pirates 3. The Pirates would finally put an end to their non-winning ways in Richmond on Sunday. Due to the circumstances of bad weather on Saturday the two teams would have to wait until Sunday,to finish the series in a double header. ECU swept both games from the Spiders in seem- ingly easy fashion. "We played pretty well throughout the weekend, but most of all the team showed a lot of character said Foye Minton, starting pitcher for the Pirates. "After losing Friday, we could have given up, but we did a good job on Sunday and picked up some wins In the first of two games on Sunday, ECU was tamed until the seventh inning when the flood gates were opened where all five of the Pirate runs would be scored. The team manufac- tured three runs, before right ECU'S Eric Bakich steps in against Virginia Commonwealth earlier this month, (photo by Garrett McMillan) fielder John Williamson knocked in two more to give them the 5-3 advantage going into the later part of the game. Cory Scott en- tered for the Pirates, recording his 16th save of the year, as Mattison picked up his second victory. "I thought the key to the week- end, and really for Sunday, was that we were able to get five runs in the top of the seventh said Head Coach Keith LeClair. "That was something we needed after really being blanked for six in- nings to start ECU would take the lead early in the series nightcap, as their action-packed offense held no mercy against weaker Spider pitching. The Pirates scored eight runs in a second inning that saw 13 different Pirate hitters. Lee Delfino, the shortstop for the team had a spectacular game racking up five hits in five trips to the plate and collecting his fourth home run of the season. John Williamson would homer in the eighth inning, killing any rally hopes for Richmond and granting ECU the 10-6 win. "I thought we played much better offensively on Sunday Williamson said. "Being able to rally gave us a lift and allowed us to continue in the second game Pitcher Jason Mandryk picked up his fourth win, and has yet to lose an outing, as Cory Scott got his second save of the day. "In the second game we had the same approach as the first LeClair said. "We did some good offensive things in the game and got good pitching we got good pitching from starters and the bullpen on a long, hot day that took its toll The wins boosted the Pirates' record to 32-10 overall, and 9-3 in the CAA. They host arch rival UNC-Chapel Hill on Tuesday. This writer can be contacted at kbarnes@tec.edu.edu. Baseball team to face Tarheels tonight Jitters soothed by win over Richmond Stephen Schramm SPORTS EDITOR Tonight at Harrington Field, ECU will play host to North Carolina. The Pirates, ranked 21st in this weeks polls, will put their 32-10 record on the line against the 12th ranked Tarheels. "It's going to be a big game, there's going to be a lot more people at the game, but we've got to take it as just another game said second baseman Nick Schnabel. "It's Carolina, it's a big game, but it's just one win or one loss The Pirates are coming off of a sweep of Richmond this week- end, in which ECU regained first place in the CAA. The sweep should give the Pirates momen- tum heading into their clash with the Tarheels. "We need to get ready to play a tough game on Tuesday against North Carolina said Head Coach Keith LeClair. "The fans make this out to be the game of the year, but its just another game that we have to prepare to win. It is not a do- or-die situation but we need to continue what we got started Sunday and keep the momen- tum rolling our way ECU beat Carolina last sea- son, 8-6 in Greenville. The game drew a season-high 2,810 fans. Still, LeClair and the team downplay the importance of this game. "It's another game LeClair said. "I think the fans make it out to be bigger than what it really is. Obviously every game from here on out is important. It's important to get as many quality wins as we can so we can earn a regional berth, and that just happens to be the next game after this weekend "We've played Carolina be- fore, and we've played in front of a lot of people before so it shouldn't change anything said infielder Joseph Hastings. A large crowd is expected for tonight's game that will also be broadcast on WITN-7. "It's going to change the at- mosphere a little, Schnabel said. "There's going to be some more intensity, but it's just another game and you've got to go out there and play "Playing in front of people doesn't matter. Last year in Baton Rouge, we played in front of 8,000 people, Hastings said. "Last year the Carolina game had almost 3,000 people there.

Tuesday, April 18, 2000 www.tec.ecu.edu SPORTS The East Carolinian 9 sports@tec.ecu.edu Sabres face elimination in first round BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP)-So much for the theory that the Philadel- phia Flyers can be distracted by controversy Seemingly thriving on one dispute after another, the Flyers are one win away from a four-game playoff sweep of the Buffalo Sabres following Sunday's 2-0 victory. "What our team does an excellent job of is forgetting about what s past, forgetting about what's in the future but only think- ing about this game Flyers interim head coach Craig Ramsay said "In our minds, our guys weren't thinking about the last game, or the game before that or anything else. Just about tonight Sunday night, then, was a thing to behold. John LeClair's first- period power-play goal stood up as the game-winner. Rookie goalie Brian Boucher stopped 17 shots to record his first playoff shut- out, and Mark Recchi sealed the efficient victory, scoring into an empty net. In other NHL playoff games, New Jersey took a two-game se- ries lead by beating Florida 2-1 and Edmonton beat Dallas 5-2 to draw within 2-1 in that first-round series in the Western Confer- ence. The Flyers are in control going into Game 4, Tuesday at Buf- falo. One more win and Philadelphia will advance to the second round for the first time since reaching the Stanley Cup finals in 1997. The Sabres face elimination, one year after they reached the finals. Only two teams � the 1975 New York Islanders and the 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs � have rallied from a 3-0 deficit in NHL playoff history. The Flyers have been resilient and composed, having over- come many potential land mines, including: the status of deposed captain Eric Lindros, out with a concussion; the status of coach Roger Neilson, recovering from cancer treatment; and questions over starting Boucher over veteran John Vanbiesbrouck. Sunday, the Flyers overcame another controversy, the phan- tom goal LeClair scored through a hole in the mesh of the net in Friday's 2-1 victory. It's the Sabres that look rattled, stymied by the Flyers who have allowed just three goals in three games. "Defensively, we were okay goalie Dominik Hasek said. "Of- fensively, it's hard to win if you don't score goals. It's a difficult situation Ripken enjoys No. 3,000 with family MINNEAPOLIS (AP)-Cal Ripken really wanted to reach 3,000 hits at Camden Yards. At least he felt right at home at the Metrodome. "I felt that I was one of the hometown players last night and I want to stay thank you very, very much for that Ripken told the crowd during pregame ceremonies Sunday. The Baltimore Orioles star received a two-minute ovation af- ter he singled off Minnesota Twins reliever Hector Carrasco in the seventh inning Saturday night, becoming the 24th member of the 3,000-hit club. Ripken got to share the special moment with family and friends. "I don't know the secrets of life Ripken said. "But it sure means a lot more when you have a family to share it with Ripken celebrated the milestone with his wife, Kelly, and their two children, Rachel, 10, and Ryan, 6, who traveled to Minnesota for the weekend series. "It was a nice, private moment with my small family Ripken said. "We went out to eat. One of my kids fell asleep at the restau- rant. 1 guess they were drained, too Ripken was still weary Sunday, so manager Mike Hargrove gave him the day off. "I felt exhausted this morning, mentally Ripken said after signing autographs for more than an hour. "I felt good, I felt re- lieved, all those things. I haven't really reflected on the 3,000 hits. I never played the game for the big, round numbers. They've seemed to accumulate by showing up every day Ripken, already renowned for playing a record 2,632 con- secutive games, singled three times in Baltimore's 6-4 victory over the Twins on Saturday night. While his hometown fans would rather have seen him make history at home, Ripken said he wasn't about to take a seat still shy of 3,000. "I always feel an obligation not to mess with the game of baseball and how it's supposed to be played he said. When Ripken rounded the bag following the historic hit, the first one to greet him was Orioles first-base coach, former team- mate and longtime friend Eddie Murray, who got his 3,000th hit at the same stadium in 1995 while playing for Cleveland.
