The request for the bus was brought up by the transit manage- UNLINl SURVEY ment in resP?nse to ;l need they perceived for .1 more pedes- trian-friendly campus. "We are a growing campus with a growing parking prob- lem said transit adviser Scott Alford. This new route is scheduled to make a 20 minute circuit around the main campus. The bus will circle between 5th and 10th streets, and between 1st and Reade streets. "This bus is intended for our normal faculty, staff and stu- dents as well as visitors Alford said. "In theory, I think the new route is a good idea. Until we run it, 1 won't know for sure said Tyler Bryan, ECU bus driver. The funding for the bus came from student fees and the parking permits for the faculty and staff cars. The new bus has already been purchased; delivery is expected any day. When the bus arrives, it will be painted with a design to be decided upon by the transit managers. V0TE0NLINEATTEC.ECU.EDU Do you think the proposed bus route is a good idea? RESULTS OF LAST WEEK'S QUESTION: Do you think ECU should adopt a fire safety policy? 84 Yes 15 No ? "(It will be) something the school will be proud of said Robert White, ECU transit manager. The new styled bus is built to take the strenuous demands that will be placed on it. The bus was designed in England, by English engineers and engineers from the Thomas com- pany. The bus, model SLF 200, is smaller than our current busses, about 30 feet, whereas the others busses ECU uses are 40 feet long. The SLF has a low floor design, which means there will be no step to get on the bus. It has a curb-hugging design, and it can kneel down to nine inches for more ease in entering and exiting the bus. The SLF also has a ramp that shoots out of the front door and wide front and rear doors for handicapped passengers, making the bus more wheelchair accessible. The bus has a tighter turning radius, which makes taking some of the tight turns easier. The aisles are wider than the old busses, with seats that face toward the aisles in the front part of the bus, and for- ward-facing seats on a raised platform in the rear. There are also four-point forward-facing wheelchair placements under flip-up seats in the middle. The SLF also has large tinted- glass windows all around the bus, for better visibility for both the driver and the passengers. "This shuttle will be constantly moving. It will give more options for students and staff White said.

The goal of this cam- paign was to boost suitability use in North Caro- lina, in essence saving lives and preventing inju- ries that could occur during car crashes. "I think that there has been a tremendous change in Greenville since the campaign started in 1993 and it can be seen statistically said Capt. John Ennis, of the Greenville Police Department. "Back in 1993, suitability usage was only 53 per- cent but since we became involved in enforcing usage, the percentage has increased to 93 percent Seat belt checkpoints were set up at random throughout the state. One checkpoint was held in Pitt County. "The officers (at the checkpoint), and hundreds more currently on patrol, will make sure drivers throughout North Carolina understand that buckling up is more than a good idea says Joe Parker, director of Governor's Highway Safety program. "It's the law, and it's one they are pre- pared to enforce Warning tickets were not written out and vio- Writers Needed for News, Sports and Features sections Apply at The East Carolinian Orange lations will not be tolerated during this campaign. The "Click it or Ticket" campaign does not dis- criminate against drivers who attend universities. "I wouldn't say that this campaign is more tar- geted to the university student Ennis said. "They are prone to not wearing a suitability but it is just like everyone else "I cannot tell you that college students are more apt to being pulled said Jill Lucas, public informa- tion officer for the State of North Carolina Depart- ment of Transportation. "The typical offender is be- tween the age of 18-35, but in reality between the age of 18-24 so that would be college age, however, looking at the statistics listed from last week when students are home, we can say that if a college stu- dent is getting pulled, it is in their hometown The results of the campaign indicate Wake County had 525 suitability violations, while Pitt County re- ceived only 139. "I don't want you to interpret that certain coun- ties have an unbelievable amount of violations; we have an unbelievable law enforcement Lucas said. Along with ticketing unbuckled drivers, law en- forcement officers will be on the lookout for seat belt violations involving children. It is North Caro- lina state law that anyone under the age of 16 must be buckled and that children who are under the age of 5 and who weigh less than 40 pounds ride in a car seat.

The Master of Public Health Degree program is currently awaiting authorization from the Univer- sity of North Carolina (UNC) Board. According to Dr. Chris Mansfield, associate professor director at the Center for Health Services at the Brody School of Medicine (BSOM), the citizens of eastern North Carolina are not as healthy as they should be due to unhealthy lifestyles; in fact, they are one of the least proficient ar- eas. "Unsolved health problems in North Carolina and an absence of appropriate public health-care within the region have brought about a need for such a degree Mansfield said. Public health practitioners are in demand to help teach and encourage healthy lifestyles around the state. With this in mind, interest on the medical programs ECU carries is raised. "There is a strong need to in- corporate public health in medi- cine Mansfield said. Last year alone, there were over 200 vacancies in the public health care sector. There are only two other universities in North Carolina that currently offer training programs for this degree. They are the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill and the University of North Carolina- Greensboro. These two programs are not enough, especially with the demand on health care our region requires. A proposal for authorization of the program must be received by January 2001 in order to estab- lish the degree at ECU. "At this time they are work- ing on a request implement (pro- posal for authorization); it then has to be approved by the UNC Board said Jane Martin, infor- mation and communications specialist for the BSOM. A planning committee for the new program was established in February 1998. The 25 member committee is comprised of rep- resentatives of the surrounding health care community as well as representatives from the nine colleges and universities on the UNC board. Dr. Trenton Davis, professor of environmental health and safety, is the co-chair of the planning committee. "They have been working on a proposal (for authorization) for over a year Martin said. The Master of Public Health Degree Program has been as- sessed at approximately S57O,00O-$800,O00 a year. ECU intends to generate approxi- mately 25 graduates with a master's degree in public health every three years. This writer can be contacted at mthompson@tec.ecu.edu. Artist wins right to hold nude mass photo shoot NEW YORK (AP) - Flabby, thin, tattooed, pierced, pale, sunburned, dark, and hairy, 150 people posed nude Sun- day under the Williamsburg Bridge shortly after sun- rise. The mass disrobing by the East River was for a photo session viewed by many as a symbol of artistic freedom. "This is a victory for myself and for any contempo- rary artist working with the body said photographer Spencer Tunick. The art was quite a spectacle: A mass of bodies evok- ing a hilly landscape shaded in the tones of human flesh. But the gritty reality of a city street turned the mod- els' bare feet black in minutes, and "lying on the gravel was cold - and it hurts said Marian Rutenberg, 25, who was jogging by when she "New York should be a consensual adult Disneyland. If you don't want it to be that way, go live in Kansas. It's so obviously a First Amendment right. There's no reason this should ever have been stopped "I'm a wannabe flasher. I thought it was a beautiful thing the community's doing, to be outside without your clothes on said Keith Battle, 21, who described his occupation as "dealing drugs, but only liberating ones "It was electric fun John Michael Koroly, 37, who works in publishing. "You're completely naked but you feel safe, with absolutely no embarrassment Tunick sued the city last summer after dozens of officers showed up at a photo shoot location to ar- rest the participants. Tunick canceled the session and claimed in court that his constitutional rights had been violated. The city argued that New York law criminalizes public nudity, but Tunick maintained that state law see ARTIST, page 4 Looking for some action?

On May 19, a federal appeals court in Manhattan agreed with him, ruling that he had a First Amendment right to take his unusual photos. The city appealed to the Supreme Court but the high court declined to take the case, leaving the federal appeals ruling intact. Tunick conducted Sunday's session be- tween 5:15 a.m. and 5:45 a.m. in a relatively deserted area under the bridge, on the Lower East Side of Manhattan by the river. The photos are not designed to be erotic, although a handful of men who were not with the press and did not disrobe stood on the sidelines leering and filming with home video cameras. Tunick said the photos depict "a living or- ganism of hundreds of bodies forming a landscape, the relationship between the anonymity of public space and the human body Tunick's work will be shown at the 1-20 Gallery in Chelsea this fall. In November, he plans to photograph 400 nudes inside Grand Central Terminal. But, the city's top lawyer, Corporation Counsel Michael Hess, said that while Tunick has won this battle, the war wasn't over.

Wednesday June 14, 2000 www.tec.8cu.edu OPINION The East Carolinian 5 opinion@tec.ecu.edu The CAA cut one of its most visible programs out of the title picture and separated itself from the mobile Pirate fan base. OUR VIEW When ECU announced it would begin to play in Conference-USA in the fall of 2001, no one knew how ECU's old conference, the Colonial Athletic Associa- tion (CAA), would respond. In December CAA announced that ECU would not be welcomed back into CAA play during the 2000- 01 season. This measure is for no other reason but posturing; the CAA cut one of its most visible pro- grams out of the title picture and separated itself from the mobile Pirate fan base. In the months following ECU's decision to leave, two more schools, American University and the Uni- versity of Richmond, also decided to leave. Because of the severity of the CAA's reaction toward ECU's departure, the conference was left having to cut all three schools out of the conference next season. The CAA will now have to face the consequences. It's severe action has left the association fighting to survive in a college sports landscape where revenue flow is all important and those who can't maintain it don't survive. Leslie Qriffm MY OPINION O.J. wants your money Does anyone have $3 million to put up so that O.J. Simpson can take a lie detector test? 1 know 1 don't, but 1 am interested to see if anyone is willing do this. It seems that O.J who claims he is innocent of killing his wife and her friend, wants some- one to put up $3 million before he will take a lie detector. If he passes the test, the money will be put up for 'reward' when the real killer is brought forth. If O.J. fails, then all of the money will be returned. Just what kind of B.S. is this? O.J. has had his trial, during which he said all he wanted to do was find the real killers and get on with his life. Well, why hasn't he started look- ing yet? It seems to me he has had plenty of time to hire someone to find out what really happened that night. Maybe he does not want to find out the truth, because he already knows what happened! As for someone putting up the money, you would have to be crazy. You are in a no-win situation. Lie de- tectors are not accurate; they can't always tell when a person is lying and when they aren't. Besides, who's to say that O.J. may or may not keep the money for himself? My belief is simple-let O.J. or whomever killed these people suffer in their own misery. One day the truth will come out. And, if you have $3 million you want to throw away, give it to me. I'll need it when the tuition here increases! A, Dijeack MY OPINION Dressing less does not impress It's hot outside, and if you are from the North I am really feeling for you. This Southerner by birth feels that it's too hot. During the summer many people, women especially, take the opportunity to dress less. There is no problem here. Where my con- tern lies is how much 'less' is too much 'less You know who you are. 1 know that there is an amendment that al- lows Americans the freedom to ex- press themselves, but last I checked the amendment didn't have a nudity clause. My advice to those of you who are scantily clad is to recognize that people are looking at you. You could be offending someone (especially if you have more rolls than a bakery). Realize that you are putting your- selves in positions where you may be looked at in a negative manner. N?wwe don't want thati do we? ? i i ? ? ? I ! ? ? ?) I ? II 'jaisaiCodhi MY OPINION Do not overlook cruelties in Chechnya While the western world has enjoyed con- siderable amount of peace in the last few de- cades, the eastern part of the world always seems to be torn by war. It appears as if stabil- ity and peace in this world is not possible. Whether it's the Middle East, Russia or South- east Asia, some injustice is always taking place. The current war in Chechnya seems to be one of the best examples of injustice and cruelty in the post-world war era. The Russian government claims that Chechnya belongs to them, while Chechnya claims otherwise, and they want to keep their freedom and independence. The motivation for war is coming from a political point of view. If Putin can win the war and wipe out as many Chechens as possible, he will not only become more popular, but he can also seal his victory for reelection. Thus, the war is purely political and unnecessary. Human rights groups have continued to con- demn Russia's actions in Chechnya from the beginning. Amnesty, a London-based human rights organization, has called again and again for an international investigation into many allegations of torture, murder, rape and bru- tality committed by the Russian army. While Russia had promised to provide safe routes out of Chechnya for the innocent civilians, they have put snipers at these locations and have killed most people trying to leave. The people of Chechnya had no choice but to stay in their homes and at the same time they were told that if they did not leave, they would be killed by the air raids. It seems that when other countries commit mass atrocities, they do not go unnoticed. China has been condemned worldwide for its brutal oppression, and it would appear that some sort of action had been taken when Yu- goslavia committed mass murder and torture in Kosovo. When Iraq invaded Kuwait, the world took notice, and to this day Iraq can- not sell its oil for money and still has other pending sanctions. However, no action has been taken when Russia attacks another inde- pendent and peaceful country. The World Bank continues to make large loans to Russia while aid from the United States hasn't de- creased a bit. No sanctions have been put on Russia and Russians leaders are welcomed into other countries with open arms and much hospi- tality. Russia has been given clearance to do as it wishes without any consequences, even if that means committing genocide. Today, Russian camp guards are torturing, beating and raping Chechens at filtration camps inside Chechnya. This is similar to what Hitler conducted during his reign of terror. According to the executive director of the Europe and Central Asia Division Human Rights Watch, "what is happening in these filtration camps is unspeakable. The Russians must not get away with committing these abuses But it seems as if they are the only ones con- demning the Russians. The world needs to come together against this type of cruelty. If this is allowed to happen today, then it will continue to happen to different groups of people. We cannot sit back and watch. We need to send a clear and strong message that we will not tolerate this. Everyone involved- from the leaders down to the last soldier re- sponsible-needs to be punished severely, oth- erwise this is not likely to stop anytime soon. The guilty cannot be allowed to continue to live as if nothing happened. However, it seems that no matter what, the only time foreign intervention takes place is when countries have some type of interest as well. For now, the world just continues to sit and watch-as if this could never happen to them. east Carolinian Melyssa L Ojeda, Editor Carolyn Herold New Editor Stephen Schramm, sports Editor Emily Little, Features Editor Laura Benedict, Head Copy Editor IHI, pntty Richardson, photo Editor Serving ECU ante 1925, The East Carolinian prints 11,000 coptes every Tuesday and Thursday during the regular academic year and 5,000 on Wednesdays during the summer.

(AP)-A jail inmate who escaped from the Clay County Courthouse reminded General Sessions Court Judge Jimmy White why he should never leave his keys in his car. David Henry snatched White's vehicle from the parking area outside of the courthouse last Friday before White was to hear auto theft charges against the 30-year- old Monterey man. Henry had managed to take off the shackles on his hands and feet while Sheriff Jerry Rhoton left the second-floor courtroom to visit a first-floor office. White didn't know his car was missing until court ended later in the day. The judge will still have his day in court with Henry, though?this time as a victim. Henry was arrested Tuesday in Nashville when police spot- ted him driving the judge's car at about 1:20 a.m. with- out the lights on. Henry was being held in a Nashville Jail on a bail of $24,000. BLOOMINGTON, III. (AP)-A self-described animal lover who tried to pet a leopard at Bloomington's Miller Park Zoo Tuesday got more than he bargained for-a bite on the hand. Zoo Superintendent John Tobias said a snow leopard bit 28-year-old Brian Carrie, who had to hop a four-foot bar- rier to put his hand in the outdoor cage. Carrie was taken to BroMenn Regional Medical Center with four deep cuts on his hand, said Bloomington firefighter Matt Bozarth. He was treated and released. Bozarth said Carrie had alco- hol on his breath and a bottle of liquor with him at the zoo. Tobias said he would look into putting up "no petting signs" at the zoo, but said that should be common sense. Carrie told Bozarth that he pet the leopard because he was an animal lover. He said another leopard became jeal- ous and attacked him. Wednesday June 14, 2000 www. tec.ecu.edu FEATURES The East Carolinian 7 features@tec.ecu.edu I PICK OF THE ! "Survivor" Emily Little FEATURES EDITOR Welcome to "The Real World: Gilligan's Island The most novel creation since "Road Rules CBS's new show, "Survivor ! has all the emotional roller coasters of MTV's living soap operas, but without the good music and the sex and the drinking. Instead, it has people eating live grubs and wading through leech- infested swamps. In case you haven't had the opportunity to catch the show, it begins with two groups of castaways, marooned on opposite sides of an island by a network television station. With their handful of supplies, they work together to provide themselves with basic necessities on a daily basis. At the end of the week, the two tribes meet for a competition that involves some remarkable feat of human toler- ance. That night, the losing team Fortunately, they will probably lose their enthusiasm be- fore we do. (World Wide Web photos) must vote one of its members off the island. The last one standing is the winner. This show is a testimonial to the human spirit. Since the length of a person's stay on the island is dependent on his or her ability to contribute positively to the survival of the group, work- ing hard and being nice be- comes the most important I thing. Surprisingly enough, , most of the people on the ; show have managed to do i that. In general, this show has a S lot to offer. Despite its copy- cat appearance, "Survivor" brings a fresh take to the 'real-life' genre of televi- sion. Unlike the planted conflicts set up in any MTV group home, these castaways seem to have more important things to think about. The Navy Seal, for instance, turned out not to be homophobic. He wasn't ex- actly overjoyed with the idea of sharing a tent with a gay man, but he didn't seem too disturbed by it. How refreshing. This is a smart move for CBS. While other stations are obsess- ing over dark trivia game shows, they've taken the whole thing a step further. There is no 'lifeline' on the CBS island. There's only the people you brought with you, and that is what makes the whole thing so inter- esting. That probably means we'll see a simi- lar show called "Cast- away or something on Fox pretty soon. "Survivor" airs at 8 p.m. on Wednesdays. This writer can be contacted at features@tec.ecu.edu.

JSIC T ILLYS ' ? ? SPORTS BRIEFS Young retires San Frandsco 49er quarter- back, Steve Young an- nounced his re- tirement from football in a press conference Monday in San Francisco. Young, 38, played IS sea- sons for the Niners, after be- ing drafted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers following his col- lege career at Brigham Young. Young replaced 49er legend Joe Montana and won his lone Super Bowl as a starter In 1995, defeating the San Diego Chargers 49-26. Young cap- tured the coveted Super Bowl MVP award in the game as well. Young also won the NFL MVP award twice as the Niner signal caller. Young suffered multiple concussions In the past few seasons, the most recent of which came in a September game against the Arizona Car- dinals. The blow kept htm out for the remainder of the sea- son. Young made a name for himself as a gifted passer and as an equally dangerous threat on t h e ground. Young rushed for 43 touch- downs in his career, the most by an NFL quarterback. Young also left his name on the NFL record books by be- ing one half of the most pro- lific passing tandem in NFL history. Young and receiver Jerry Rice connected for a record 85 touchdowns. Young recently married the former Barbara Graham and the couple are expecting their first child later in the year. "in many ways, what lies ahead for me is more impor- tant than what I leave be- hind said Young. ECU senior second baseman Nick Schnabel was made the 31 st round selection buy the Montreal Expos in Thursday's Major League Baseball Draft. The Expos selected the Martinez, Calif, native with the 915th overall pick on the draft's sec- ond day. "I'm pretty excited about it Schnabel said. Schnabel came to ECU from Ohlone Junior College in California before the 1999 season. In his first season with the Pirates Schnabel was third on the team with a .357 batting average and tied the ECU single season record for doubles with 20. Schnabel also owns two other ECU school records: 14 sacrifice bunts and 176 assists in the 1999 season. Schnabel was voted the CAA Defensive Player of the Year in 1999 as well. This season Schnabel was named to the All-CAA First-Team. He hit .308 with 23 RBIs and 12 stolen bases. Schnabel also committed only nine errors out of 324 chances for an impres- sive .972 fielding percentage. More impressive than his individual achievements was the un- precedented success the Pirates experienced during Schnabel's ca- reer. "I was looking in the paper and I saw that we were the first team to win more than 90 games over two seasons and the first to win over 40 games two years in a row Schnabel said. "It's nice to know we did something In addition to the winning reci Schnabel's team racked up, there were als of CAA Championships and two trips to the NCAA Regionals. Yflft Schnabel was part of a senior class that featured i(flMM' can closer Cory Scott as well as Pirate mainstays Eric Bakich, Jeremy Schumacher and James Molinari. Schnabel, who will be leaving Greenville this week to Jojgj Montreal affiliate in the Gulf Coast Rookie League, will organization known for a strong farm system.

IB The East Carolinian sports@tec.ecu.edu SPORTS Wednesday June 14, 2000 www.tec.ecu.edu I Devils capture Stanley Cup DALLAS (AP)-Five overtimes in two cities in three nights. No wonder the New Jersey Devils were almost too tired to lift the Stanley Cup. Jason Arnott ripped a shot from the left circle past Dallas goaltender Ed Belfour 8:20 into the second overtime, ending a second consecutive tension- filled overtime game-and the Stars' Stanley Cup run-with a 2-1 Devils victory Saturday night. Arnott one-timed Parrik Elias' no-look pass as the Devils pre- vented the Stars from forcing a Game 7 Monday in New Jersey and won their second Cup in six seasons. Because the Devils wouldn't lose on the road to Dallas-they were 3-0 in Reunion Arena - the Stanley Cup has a new home. The Stars, who won the Cup on the road in Game 6 last year in Buffalo, lost it in Game 6 at home. It was the third time in five years the Cup was won in over- time, and the fourth time in five years the Cup has been won on the road. Devils goaltender Martin Brodeur ended his record-tying seven-game overtime playoff los- ing streak by making 30 saves, while Belfour-one of the heroes of the Stars' exhausting 1-0, three-overtime victory in Game 5-lost despite stopping 43 of 45 shots. "This is an unbelievable feel- ing said Brodeur, who had been 1-5 in multiple-overtime games. "This time around, I think I real- ized it a little more. And what better way to stop that streak It was the first time in the best- of-seven era there have been back-to-back multiple overtime games in the finals. Devils defenseman Scott Stevens was named the Conn Smythe Award winner as the playoffs MVP. "The Stars never gave up, you have to give them credit. They fought and fought Stevens said. "I was telling everyone to play hard for me. You don't get too many chances, so I'm just enjoy- ing this Stevens joked that he was "al- most too tired to lift the Cup" following five overtimes in two cities in only three nights. As the Cup was handed to Elias, he had injured linemate Petr Sykora's jersey draped over his shoulder. Sykora was carried off on a stretcher with 12:08 gone, but was not believed to be seriously injured. The'Stars' fans were clearly distraught at seeing the Cup won on their ice, but most stayed to cheer the post-game presentation to Stevens by NHL commissioner Gary Bettman. "The games we had here were really tough Stars center Mike Modano said. "They're a great team, outstanding. Those guys- Brodeur, (Scott) Gomez, Arnott-I know how they're feeling. It's a great feeling Many fans began cheering, "Stan-ley Cup and "Stan-ley Cup" and "Ed-die, Ed-di in appreciation not only of two of the most stirring overtime games in recent Cup history, but the excellent goaltending.

Rocker saga continues Stephen Schramm SPORTS EDITOR The dark comedy that is the career of John Rocker took a turn for the worst this week as the behavior of the headline-grab- bing Atlanta Braves' pitcher "rocked" the sports world once again. As usual, Rocker's thought- less actions have not only set a new, personal standard for stu- pidity, but have put his liveli- hood in jeopardy. As is also cus- tomary, Rocker continues to blame his misfortunes on every- one but himself. Rocker's eventful week began with an angry clubhouse con- frontation with "Sports Illus- trated" (SI) writer Jeffrey Shelman following a game with the New York Yankees. Shelman is the man whose interview became the basis of the December "SI" article in which Rocker blasted minori- ties, homosexuals, immigrants and New Yorkers, inciting a fire storm of national controversy and making Rocker a household name. The drama continued with Tuesday's announcement that the Braves were optioning Rocker to their AAA minor-league affili- ate, the Richmond Braves. At- lanta team management asserts that the move was prompted by Rocker's dismal performance and, most notably, by his inabil- ity to throw strikes. Rocker amassed an abysmal 25 walks versus only 27 strikeouts in 21 appearances this season. Al- though Rocker had picked up 10 saves in 11 opportunities this sea- son, his demotion was probably hastened by his high 3.93 ERA and shaky performances in clutch situations. Still, when star teammate Brian Jordan describes you as a "can- cer you've probably got more issues to consider than just a lack- luster slider. Being the even-tempered, ra- tional man that he is, Rocker re- sponded to the news of his de- motion in characteristic fashion. He threatened not to report to Richmond. He balked at the idea of Retiring at age 25 and even discussed the possibility of a ca- reer as a stock broker (Hey John, where do you think the exchange is, anyway?). Rocker finally capitulated and joined the Richmond Braves for their game with the Toledo Mud Hens later in the week. In its his- tory, Toledo had issued only seven national media credentials prior to this week. When the news of the arrival of the John Rocker show reached the press, the number of credentials issued boomed to over ninety. While the story of Rocker's demotion and contemplation of retirement played out last week, Rocker maintained a sense of frustrated disbelief at his situa- tion. Strangely, Rocker has never been able to realize that he is re- sponsible for his own negative image. John Rocker needs to re- alize that he is not special. If you can't hack it in the bigs, you get sent down. He couldn't. The only reason anyone takes note of his undistinguished performance is because of his ability to comically and publicly dramatize the depth of his ignorance, an ignorance that seems to be bottomless.
