Carolyn Herold NEWS EDITOR The 16th annual Michael Jordan Celebrity Golf Clas sic was held this weekend at Brook Valley Country Club in Greenville where 24 celebrities took part in fund-raising events to raise money for North Carolina's Ronald McDonald Houses. During previous years, the tournament has raised over $1.8 million for the Ronald McDonald Houses of North Caro- lina. This year's proceeds from the golf tournament and re- lated events have not yet been tallied but are estimated to be around $100,000. All money raised goes directly to the Ronald McDonald Houses of North Carolina. The tournament began in 1984 as the Eastern Carolina Celebrity Golf Classic. Michael Jordan became chair in 1988, and the tournament was renamed in 1989. Over the years, the tournament has grown from a two-celebrity event with a $100 entry fee, to one with over 40 celebrities and spon- sorships going for $50,000. "We have had opportunities to take (the tournament) all over the state, but 1 just feel so loyal to Greenville Jordan said. "It is hard to move it from here because of all the hos- pitality and support we have received This year's honorary child was chosen from the Winston- Salem House. Aaron Bradley Scott, 13, from Oceana, W. Va was chosen this year. He and his family stayed at the Ronald McDonald House in January. Aaron was diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma, a form of cancer located in his arm. Aaron's entire family was present at the tournament. The weekend kicked off with the Celebrity Jam Concert on Thursday, held at ECU, featuring Grammy award winners Amy Grant and Vince Gill. The concert sold out in less than three weeks. On Friday, the 10th Anniversary Dutch Boy Painting Party was held in the ballroom of the Greenville Hilton.

This project will allow the computer labs to be open and staffed 24 hours a day during the week. "The major advantage of hav- ing the labs open is that there will be students there 24 hours aday aid Aaron Lucier, assistant direc- tor of housing for technology. "It all ties in The labs affected by the pilot program are located in Austin Hall and in Aycock and White residence halls. Although two of the three labs will be located in residence halls, all three of the labs will be available for both on- campus and off-campus students on a 24-hour basis. The residence hall labs will have exterior doors that allow students to use the computers without entering the residence hall. This is for security and pri- vacy purposes. Security is an important issue concerning this pilot project. ITCS is considering adding addi- tional security equipment and is actively exploring the question of how the 24-hour labs might affect the safety of the buildings in which they are located. ITCS may install ECU One Card read- ers to control access to the com- puter lab at Austin Hall. This idea will allow ITCS to identify stu- dents who utilize the lab after normal working hours. The residence hall labs will also feature security surveillance. "As of now, we are adding video taping. If a problem occurs, we will have a record of the inci- dent and then we can take it from thereLucier said. A panic button system, which sends a silent call to the police, is also being installed. Currently, ITCS is hiring staff to cover the extended hours. "All of our computer labs are staffed by students, whether graduate or undergraduate Lucier said. "We are concerned with how working a night shift affects the students academically, but we can't say that it will. Some students can work through the night and do fine. It all de- pends on the student A higher level of pay will be offered for late night shifts. The computer labs in these halls will open in the fall using the 24-hour availability system.

ECU dining halls are number 1, according to the 2000 National Nutrition Month Promotion Contest. The winning entry was a notebook compiled of all the things ECU did during the month of March to promote good nutrition; such as the wheel of nutrition, the ex- otic fruit bar and more. "There are three keys to healthy eating; moderation, va- riety and balance said Laura Hartung, ECU's nu- tritionist. As a member of the National Association of University and College Food Services, ECU was given the opportunity to shine at the 2000 National Nutrition Month Promotion Contest. Hartung and a crew of interns worked to promote good nutri- tion. The entry was given a first place finish with the University of Nebraska and Utah State Uni- versity following in second and third places. "This is the third time since 1996 that ECU has been recog- nized at this competition Hartung said. Hartung is a registered dietitian and holds a master's degree in nutrition. The month of March kicked off the healthy eating promotion. Hartung and nutrition intern Rebecca Turner filled the month with fun ways to learn about healthy foods. The Wheel of Nutrition was the first of the ac- tivities to take place in the din- ing halls, allowing Hartung and the student interns to quiz stu- dents on healthy facts with the promise of prizes, such as fresh fruit, T-shirts, CD's, veggie pizzas and more. The Exotic Bar was the next feature, and encouraged students to eat a wider variety of fruits such as kiwi, papaya, coconut, mangoes, star fruit and many other exotic fruits. Students had the opportunity to win some of these exotic fruits by simply fill- ing out questionnaires about nutrition and the exotic fruits. Students were also encouraged to drink milk, especially through the dates of March 20 and 21, because if they were seen drink- ing milk, they had a chance to win cash prizes, or cow key chains. All of these events led up to the main meal, on March 21 in which the dining halls around campus featured healthy foods. The main entrees had about 10 grams of fat. There were facts posted around the dining halls explaining how nutrition can help prevent dis- ease. The month of March was filled with facts about healthy eating but they were not fust in the dining halls. Hartung also went to some Health 1000 and biology classes where she pre- sented her knowledge about nutrition. Hartung also visited local chapters of the Boy Scouts of America and appeared on a radio program, "On the Air "This puts ECU Nutrition on the map Hartung said. Hartung will be accepting the award in Calgary, Canada where it will be presented at the Loyal E. Horton Dining awards. ECU will not be allowed to enter the awards next year; however, Hartung will represent ECU as a judge at next year's awards.

The Skins Game follows the traditional skins for- mat, where each hole was as- signed a value. The golfer with the lowest score wins at that par- ticular hole. The game ran into problems with rain delays; only nine holes of golf were played. "I'm hitting the ball a lot bet- ter Jordan said. "I've got more free time to play, unfortunately I can't get a skin at the tournament I created Each Skins Game participant played for one of the four Ronald McDonald Houses in North Carolina. McDonald's donated the winning purse which was worth $50,000. On Saturday and Sunday the celebrity golf tournament was held, where 18 holes were played each day. Each team consisted of four sponsors and one celebrity. Some celebrity sponsors included Vince Gill, Amy Grant, Damon Wayans, Michael Jordan and Mario Lemieux. The 40 teams played in a best ball format, fol- lowed on both days. Golfers kept score of their two-day total and the group with the lowest score won the tournament. This year's winning team was lead by J J. Dudum, a former NFL placekicker. The Dudum team shot 116 on Saturday and 119 on Sunday. Second place, scoring 126 on Saturday and 116 on Sun- day, was taken by Cameron Mathison's group. Jordan's group finished with a score of 263. Sunday's tournament was at- tended by over 6,000 people. Awards were handed out after the play was over at the Outback Steakhouse Awards Party held at the Greenville Country Club. The tournament concluded with the Celebrity Jam Phase II Concert, featuring Winans Phase II, with special appearances by Carvin and Daniel Winans at the Covenant Church in Greenville. The volunteers play a large part in the success of the tournament. Approximately 1,000 people vol- unteer each year, many return- ing year after year to help out. Many of these volunteers have close ties to ECU. "I am volunteering because I think it is a great event for Greenville and it gives us the opportunity to get out here and do something good for the com- munity said Kelly Alboda, vol- unteer and professor at ECU. "I heard about this golf classic before I even moved to Greenville said Linda Godbold, volunteer and professor at ECU. "So when I moved here, I knew it was something I wanted to be involved in Sponsoring companies also encourage their employees to volunteer. Last year, a sorority made volunteering one of their service projects. This writer can be contacted at news@tec.ecu.edu.

We want our money back. OUR VIEW Last weekend a multitude of celebrities invaded Greenville to play golf in the name of Michael Jordan and Ronald McDonald. TEC was very happy to see people like Damon Wayans, John Dancy and John Elway participating in this charitable event, but we also no- ticed the conspicuous absence of a few celebrities who promised they'd be there. This is for them. Cheech Marin, your name was on the list. Some of our staff was holding their breath in anticipation of your arrival. Some of the spectators paid a fortune for their tickets to watch the great American pothead swing a club. So where were you? The scar of disappointment we feel at our abandonment may never heal. Know who else was missing? Wayne Cretzky. One of the most famous athletes on the list, and he just didn't show up. Does he not love his fans? Why would a hockey player not want to play golf for a pile of group- ies? We do not understand this kind of dereliction of duty on the part of our favorite celebrities. We want our money back. So thank you, Joshua Morrow and Dennis Haskins and the rest for showing up. And thank you, Michael Jordan, for putting your name on so worthy a cause. As for the rest of you, who neglected to meet your commitments, we bite our thumbs at you. A. Dijeack MY OPINION Everyone's a winner! Did you hear the one about the stripper who sued her plastic surgeon for wrongfully installing breast implants in her rear end in an attempt to make it bigger? if you have been watching the news recently you have probably heard about this. I'm sure that you are also aware that she won her case and was awarded thousands of dollars. The stripper, we'll call her 'Overstuffed Knickers sued because she was not satisfied with the service provided by her plastic surgeon. Many people decide to sue whenever they feel that they have been wronged by a service, a law or another person. It is your right to sue. How- ever, this is getting ridiculous. Don't ambulance-chasing, unscru- pulous lawyers have anything better to do with their time? You would think that they would not only tire of taking such absurd cases, but that they would also be embarrassed. You would think that the people who exploit a legal loophole would be embarrassed as well. It seems like no one seems to feel the slightest bit ashamed as long as a monetary settle- ment can be won. In my opinion, Overstuffed Knick- ers should not have won, because she was a lunatic in the first place for deciding to get implants. Wake up! Implants aren't always successful in breasts, so what would make anyone think implants could work in your posterior? Where do people get these ideas? I'm sure medical professionals worldwide are falling out of their chairs with laughter. I can't help but think that my sentiments were snared by the court where the case was tried. We live in a country where the streets are paved with gold thanks to the exploits of the happy-to-get- some-money plaintiff and the rich- because-you-can't-sue-without-me lawyer. It is a land where anyone can be a winner with the help of a high- powered lawyer, as long as you can afford the legal fees. Dutritxitod by Collcgimc Prcuwirr Features Syndicate fcm Little MY OPINION Carded by the man The other night, a friend and I went to see Shaft at the Carmike on Firetower Road. Ap- parently, on this particular night, the super- cops who handle keeping kids away from bad influences like cuss-word filled movies were out in force. My friend and I, both over 21 years of age, were carded not once, but twice upon entering the theater. Does that sound ridiculous to anybody else? I was forbidden to see Basic Instinct once when I was IS, but I watched it anyway when my parents weren't home. That movie scared the crap out of me, but it didn't make me start an ice-pick murder rampage. It didn't even make me want to stop wearing underwear. And I already knew every cuss word in the book by the time I was 12. Know where I learned them? My parents. What are these people afraid of? Violence? There's enough violence in one episode of "Xena: Warrior Princess" to make up for three R-rated movies. Sex? I've lost count of how many bare asses I've seen on "NYPD Blue Lan- guage? Raise your hand if you didn't know how to cuss like a sailor by the time you were 16. Moral corruption? Two words: "South Park Do you know how ridiculous it sounds to blame a movie for a child's actions? After he's been spanked, yelled at and watched the news for a few years, what harm can a two-hour story about a badd-ass private-eye do him? If it affects him in a negative way at all, it's because he's already been damaged by what he's seen at home. Don't go blaming Shaft. He's the good guy here. All the ID cops in the world can hover over those sneaky teenagers as much as they like, but it's not going to make any difference. As long as parents shrug off responsibility as an option to take or leave, children will turn into little monsters. They don't need Hollywood's permission. It's been three years since I was carded to see a movie. And in all that time, I've been under the influence of some really dangerous stuff. When I saw Fight Club, I decided to go become a nutcase with her own army of fist-flinging idiots. When I saw The Matrix, I tried to jump from 10-story roofs. And Star Wars?well, you don't even want to see the state of my pod racer. See my point? The only people we should be carding are idiots. Because at 12 or 82, anyone who can't separate reality from Hollywood im- age is either really stupid or just plain nuts. It has nothing to do with age. Of course, all this no longer matters once you realize that there is no spoon. This writer can be contacted at features@tec.ecu.edu.

(AP)-The Rev. Al Sharpton and civil rights activist Dick Gregory were no-shows at a rally for Liberty County Tax Com- missioner Carolyn Brown, who has been barred from reelection and ordered to repay the county $1.2 mil- lion. But Brown didn't show either. About a dozen supporters of Brown gathered at a civil rights museum here Friday. Organizers had said Sharpton would appear but said Friday he had flight delays in Texas. Brown has been ordered to pay back $1.2 million in property taxes and vehicle tags she took as fees, commissions and reimbursements for le- gal expenses. Brown has said she has spent nearly $1 million of the money but has sworn in court documents that she will repay it if she loses her appeal. A Superior Court judge asked Brown to prove that she could repay the money and removed her from the July primary ballot when she could not. The Liberty County Commission has filed suit to remove Brown from office. KENTWOOD, La. (AP)- Two residents of Britney Spears' hometown have created a museum at the request of her fans. Sections of the Britney Spears Museum will be de- voted to her early child- hood, her tenure as a Mouseketeer, and her present status as a chart- topping pop singer. The museum, which will be part of the existing Kentwood Museum, also will include a gift shop. Spears' parents have do- nated some childhood dresses and other items, said Sandy Reed, who is volunteering to establish the museum. She and an- other coordinator, Kathy Bryan, met this month with Spears' manager and ac- countant, and both liked the idea. Reed said. Watercolor Stars Michael Jordan Golf Classic celebrities paint with their benificiaries Emily Little FEATURES EDITOR The Michael Jordan Celebrity Golf Classic is about more than just famous people hitting a little white ball into a hole. It's also about raising money for Ronald McDonald houses in North Caro- lina so that local children can get a leg up. Last Friday some of the stars took a break from playing golf to meet the children they were helping. It was a massive pizza party at the Hilton, where children and celebrities pooled their talents to create works of artistic genius. Fortunately, TEC was there to grab these immortal images.

Ok, it is what you think. Guide to (let- ting it on is a 696 page paperback about sex, so the easily-offended should just quit reading right now. Author Paul Joannides is a col- umnist for the Goofy Foot Press, the online publication that pub- lished the book. He is not a psy- chologist, sex therapist or doctor, but he has some amazing knowl- edge about the human mating process, and he knows how to get his point across. He consulted psychologists and sex therapists and doctors in writing the book, but he also consulted two surfers and a prostitute. So, you can imagine the truth he tells. Joaniddes gives his opinion on many sexual subjects, and you may not always agree with him. For instance, he adamantly be- lieves that actual intercourse is not a good idea for most unmar- ried couples because of preg- nancy, but when he discusses the AIDS virus later in the book he dismisses its significance by as- serting that the epidemic never Let's be honest Most college-age adults are sexually active in one way or another. really attacked the heterosexual community the way it threat- ened. Anyone reading that state- ment the wrong way might take his comments to mean that you'll be safe as long as you don't go all the way. But, those kinds of questionable ideas are few and far between. The illustrations, like the text, are pretty graphic. You might start out a little wide-eyed as you leaf through this thing, amazed at his audacity. But, I guarantee that you'll be thanking Joannides for his honesty after you've read a few chapters, be- cause not only does Joaniddes offer some fascinating recom- mendations on how to do bet- ter utilize certain body parts, he also explains how a couple's love-making habits reflect on the relationship itself. As it turns out, the book is not just a list of suggestions on how to get more pleasure out of each other. It's also a valuable source for suggestions on how to main- tain a healthy love life. Follow- ing his advice in some cases could yield some amazing results, both inside and outside the bed- room, and this writer could pro- vide specific examples if she weren't writing for a university newspaper. Let's be honest. Most college- age adults are sexually active in one way or another. The best way to deal with that choice is to know what you're getting into, and this book is a wonderful way to do that. Guide to Getting it on is a thick mass of pages, but it's length is not intimidating be- cause all of the chapters don't apply to everyone and some could easily be skipped. But, as Joannides warns in the introduction of a book printed in Michigan, some of the sugges- tions he makes in this book are illegal in many states, especially- and he really does say this-in North Carolina. The book hits shelves this win- ter. For more information, check out www.goofyfootpress.com. This writer can be contacted at features.tec.ecu.edu. Jump on In!

Jordan's appearance signaled an end to the three day event that raises money for the Ronald McDonald Houses of North Carolina and gives local inhabit- ants a chance to see some of the biggest stars of sports and enter- tainment. The tournament's 16th incar- nation featured such sports stars as NHL legends Mario Lemieux and Brett Hull, as well as the NBA's Ron Harper and Ray Allen. Also at the event were NFL stars such as Marshall Faulk, Raghib and Quadry Ismail, Terrell Buckley and Willie Green, as well as ESPN sports journalists Stuart Scott and Linda Colin. The event also featured enter- tainers like comedian Damon Wayans, musician Branford Marsalis and country music stars Vince Gill, Amy Grant and Deana Carter. GUI and Grant headlined the first day of the competition on Saturday, a day which saw the heat become a major concern.

Dudum won the tournament and the event with a four-round score of 235. However, the win was barely noticed due to the much anticipated round by the tournament host, Jordan. While Jordan's team spent most of the day near the bottom of the leaderboard, never con- tending for the title, none of that seemed to matter to the throngs of spectators that followed the former NBA superstar all day Sunday. Jordan and his followers rounded 13 and played the 14th, with Jordan's shot bouncing off the tee and stopping about 80 yards away. He played the ball and moved on down the fairway, the crowd following closely be- hind. This writer can be contacted at spofts0tec.ecu.edu. "1 don't mind doing it for kids said former Penguins forward Mario Lemieux. "They appreciate it. But its also big business for some of these guys and that's the toughest part The business of autographed collectibles is indeed big. Autographed memorabilia can fetch high returns at sports col- lectible stores and online auc- tions.

"It's just fun said autograph seeker Dave Hodges, who drove in from Charlotte Just for the MJCGC. "It's a chance to get some of the biggest names in sports Hodges was one of many auto- graph collectors who found the celebrities to be very approach- able and willing to sign.

This week, those aspirations will be a step closer to reality when the athletic department will decide on an architectural firm to design the facility. The department has been working with a handful of firms, and the number will be narrowed to one early this week. The new stadium will occupy the site of the team's current home, Harrington Field. The sta- dium, which was built in 1971, got a new set of lights prior to the 1999 season. Harrington Field's 2,500 seats come well short of the 3,500 seat minimum needed to host an NCAA regional. In the past two seasons, the Pirates captured two CAA crowns and twice earned a number one seed in the NCAA Tournament. Both times the Pirates were forced to travel to play in their regionals and lost in both in- stances to the home team. "Anytime you talk about a new facility, you're talking about something that will have an im- mediate impact said Head Base- ball Coach Keith LeClair. "It will help in several areas. Number one, it will help in recruiting. Number two, it will help give our facility an atmosphere where fans can come out to a baseball game. Three, with season tickets, financial revenues will be helped. "It's an important step for our program said LeClair. "It also gives us an opportunity to host sub-regionals and hopefully regionals. I think that was a big reason why this will be built.
