RESULTS OF LAST WEEK'S QUESTION: Should teaching fellows have special con- sideration over other scholars? 50 Yes 50 No gets new Oldest residence hall to house student leaders Nancy Kuck ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR Jarvis Residence Hall will soon reopen after under going an extensive 30- month long renovation. The residence hall will house some of the campus's top scholars, who are due to move in Aug. 12. This year, University Housing Services decided to make special requirements for students interested in residing in Jarvis. "All students must participate in com- munity service projects and take a course in Educational Foundation Lead- ership said Manny Amaro, director of Housing Services. Also, every'jarvis resident must be in good academic standing with no judi- cial pending against them. Those who applied to live in Jarvis had to complete a special application given along with the standard applica- tion that all students receive when ap- plying to live in a residence hall. Those who were accepted include "Not a dollar of state money went into the project Manny Amaro Director of Housing Services ECU scholars and leadership scholars, as well as some freshmen accepted based on their high school performance and lead- ership activities. "No applicant was turned away Amaro said. The newly refurbished residence hall boasts a baby grand piano, which graces the mezzanine overlooking the lower floor, along with a renovated staircase and hardwood floors. "We replaced the bathrooms, added stairs, restored the exterior space in the activity room and rewired the building for more computer access said Bruce Flye, director of Facility Services. Amaro said that the lavish effect was achieved with little extra expense. The entire cost of thq renovation was $5.7 million, which was funded through a loan that will be paid off using student housing fees. "Not a dollar of state money went into the project said Amaro. According to Amaro, not all renova- tions were cosmetic. The building re- quired significant structural changes as well. Old dry mortar between bricks was falling out and support structures rested uneasily on shims driven in nearly a century ago. Building codes ne- cessitated all renovations. The privilege of living in Jarvis also comes with a price. The cost per semester of residing in Jarvis is $2,750, as compared to the cost of living in an academic residence hail such as Belk Hall, which costs $2,700 per semester. All non-academic resi- dence halls such as Fletcher Hall cost $2,600 per semester. Although Jarvis will be able to house up to 140 students, it does not seem likely that the renovation will help to relieve the crowding on campus, since the total number of beds in the resi- dence hall decreased during the con- struction. "We lost 10 spaces all together Amaro said. Named for Gov. Thomas J. Jarvis, who is widely regarded as the father of ECU, the 1909 structure is the oldest building on campus.

The university devised plans to expand into surrounding resi- dential areas of Greenville over the next eight years in February of this year. This plan was met with opposition from homeowners, some of whom were retired ECU professors. The Board decided to hault expansion into these neighborhoods. "We are not going to buy homes that are not for sale said Thomas Bayllss III, a member of the ECU Board of Trustees. "We are sensitive to neighborhoods and we don't want to take it away The Board does not have will to do away with the homes The university then proposed expanding into the downtown Greenville area, otherwise known as 'uptown' Greenville. This time the Board was faced with opposition from local busi- ness owners whose establish- ments were threatened to be shut down. To resolve the matter, stu- dents petitioned along with lo- cal entrepreneurs to stop campus expansion into the downtown area. Their protests were success- ful, and the trustees removed both areas from the expansion plan. Although citizens' opposition has helped to hault expansion, the main reason for the revision of the plan is in fact due to a lack of funding. "There is not sufficient money in the bond referendum to move wholly in any direction said see EXPANSION page3 N.C. State crime study yields positive findings (U-WIRE) RALEIGH, N.CRe- searcherj at N.C. State have com- pleted a study involving crime attitudes among North Carolin- ians. This study revealed that North Carolina citizens generally feel positive about the state's criminal justice system and school safety, and perceive that violent crime is decreasing. The survey, which was con- ducted in 1999, includes re- sponses from 3,000 randomly se- lected people within each of the three geographic regions of the state-Eastern, Central and West- em North Carolina. The charac- teristics of the respondents match the overall representation of the state itself, such as gender, race, age and income level. The 37- question telephone survey is very similar to one conducted in 1997, and the results can be compared for benchmarking purposes, Vasu said. Respondents were asked about their own experiences with crime and their perceptions of crime and law enforcement. The results of the survey indi- cate that not only has self-re- ported victimization stayed the same since 1997, but the attitudes toward violent crime have im- proved since then. 12.6 percent of respondents felt that violent crime had recently de- creased, compared with 5.8 per- cent who felt that way In 1997. 38.9 percent of people surveyed felt that violent crime has recently increased in 1999, down from 55.7 percent in 1997. The study also shows that individual percep- tions about crime and safety are influenced by factors such as gen- der, race, education level, income and age. Dr. Michael Vasu, professor of political science at NCSU and lead researcher on the study, believes that these results are encouraging. "Over the last four to five years, the state has invested a lot of money in community policing, which is a real shift in the way we police Vasu said.

The N.C. General Assembly will approve a bond referendum that will benefit all state univer- sities and colleges. It will be voted on in November, and if approved, ECU would get a $190.6 million portion of the $3.1 billion bond. This bond money would then help to fund construction of a parking lot on campus. Three of the parking lots on campus were destroyed this past year for con- struction and repaving. We are sensitive to neighborhoods and we don't want to take it away The Board does not have will to do away with the homes. Thomas Bayliss III Member. Board ol Trustees Currently, there are 18,000 stu- dents who attend ECU. Officials project that the campus's borders will have to grow to accommo- date an additional 9,000 students by 2008. Campus planners have dealt with this task by separating the expansion into three phases. "We are only addressing prop- erty that we own now in Phase One said Bruce Flye, director of facility planning. The expansion continues to be a sensitive issue among students and the community who are faced with uncertainty as to what will take place 13 years from now.

Some Duke students to become freshmen early STUDY from page 2 (U-WIRE) DURHAM, N.C The Duke University early ma- triculation pilot program seems to be flying high. Twenty-three students from the Class of 2004 arrived on East Campus this month to begin summer studies as part of the new program that allows stu- dents with few Advanced Place- ment credits to get a head start on their freshman years. Because of the 36-credit gradu- ation requirement, students who do not enter with college credits are forced to take two semesters with five classes apiece. This course load often adds a substan- tial academic burden, especially because most of these students have work-study responsibilities and may be involved in other school activities. The problem is also severe for athletes, who are burdened with workouts and team trips. Program officials, led by Assis- tant Dean of Student Develop- ment Carmen Tillery, were ini- tially concerned that the athletes and non-athletes in the program might not mix socially or that athletes' workout schedules would preclude them from the program's social activities, in- cluding a tour of Durham, a visit to the North Carolina Museum of Art and an outing at a Durham Bulls game. But Trinity senior Amy Yuen, one of the students' resident ad- visers, said the program's direc- tors told the 13 enrolled athletes that their obligation was to the program first, not preseason training. NCAA rules prohibit see DUKE page 4 sis with the citizens. There's been an investment by the Governor's Crime Commission in after- school programs and juvenile day treatment centers said Vasu. However, not everyone shares this sudden higher opinion of crime in North Carolina. The study found that, overall, Hispanics were more likely to be shot at, knifed, attacked or victim- ized by sexual assault than to face less violent forms of victimization such as robbery. Also, women and the elderly are much more likely to feel unsafe after dark than men.

Many say Edwards' advantage would be his youthful presence and charm- not his experience in national politics. In recent days, the 47-year-old Edwards has gotten a good bit more atten- tion. "This is a serious proposition White House Chief of Staff John Podesta said Friday, referring to the vice president's consideration of Edwards. "When that first came up people said, Really?' But when they thought about it, it actually seemed plausible, given what he's already accomplished and the skills he brings to the table said Podesta, who is not working on Gore's campaign, although Presi- dent Clinton has been a key strat- egist for Gore. "I think they're thinking about it in the context of looking at a bunch of people, but it's not an endless list. That sets him apart from a fair num- ber of his colleagues Edwards deflects questions about running with Gore. "I don't have some inflated view of my own importance Edwards said in a recent inter- view. "The bottom line is, I'm in my second year In the Senate. And I'm working hard Edwards, a trial lawyer from Raleigh, refuses to say whether he has been interviewed by Gore or the team vetting candidates. He won't even say if he'd take the job if offered. But he has the makings of a perfect media-friendly candidate: affable, easygoing, dashing, ar- ticulate and quick on his feet. In his 1998 campaign, focus groups watched him for minutes before concluding he was their choice. "It's fair to say that John Edwards brings an array of strengths to the table, including physical appearance Daschle said. "Obviously it's his intellect, it's his character, his family, his hard work ethic, but his appear- ance is also a consequential fac- tor New York Sen. Chuck Schumer, who unseated the pow- erful Sen.

"He's ready for prime time now. Definitely Kerrey said. Even if Edwards doesn't get the nod, the mention is his name on candidate lists is a sign of his rapid rise in national Democratic Party politics. The Gore campaign has asked him to speak on the vice president's behalf across the' country. And Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle, who invited Edwards to speak this year at a party dinner in South Dakota, calls Edwards one of the chamber's three or four most promising Democrats. college athletes from working with their coaches during the summer, although athletes are permitted to work out on their own and with teammates.

And most of the students' problems with the program have been those typical to a college freshman.

It may make everyone's job a little easier. OUR VIEW It seems you can't turn a corner on campus these days without running into a big orange barrel and a backhoe. Campus expansion is in full swing, making ECU more impressive with every dug-up piece of concrete. Although we at TEC applaud the university's ambi- tion and hard work, we are a little concerned about the apparent lack of organized thought about the whole thing. Take Jarvis Residence Hall, for example. The remod- eling has turned an asbestos-heavy building into a luxu- rious palace, while Fletcher is still a cancer-causing dump. Rumors of a pedestrian campus have been circulat- ing all over the university, but none of the organizations involved agree on what exactly a "pedestrian campus" is. Apparently, we'll know when we get one. One thing we've learned in all our time of covering events at ECU is that although individual people within departments know their jobs and do them well, they have no idea what anyone else does. We urge our cam- pus administrators to talk to each other, to find out how their decisions impact other departments. Not only will it help with the barrels and the parking, but it may make everyone's job a little easier, too. ADijeack IN MY OPINION Men should have say in decision The abortion rights issue has long been a universally controversial topic. Some see it as murder, as a form of birth control or as a matter of personal choice. Of course, all in- dividual views of abortion are just opinions and the following article details my own. I am glad that the Supreme Court ruled a pro-choice verdict. That was a monumental decision. It put the power in the hands of the people. Women do not have to be told what to do and what not to do with their bodies. Is It fair for women to make a decision about the future of an embryo's life alone? Do men have a say? Hence, I would like to consider abortion from the male perspective. What about the man's input into abortion decisions? Doesn't it take two chromosomes-one from a woman and one from a man-to cre- ate life? Why is it that men don't have a say in the fate of an embryo and fetus? I'm sure they care. Does this really seem fair? Think about it, it's the man's baby too! He had an equal and salient part in creating the child-to-be and he doesn't get to say anything about the life of the child. While America is striving to right the wrongs done to women since be- fore the Suffrage Act of 1920, they are not being fair to men. In child custody cases the child normally goes to the woman. If the father gets to see his child it's not for the same amount of time each year, in many cases. And, let's face it, stay-at-home dads get no respect from society. Men are supposed to be making the almighty dollar. When a married couple with chil- dren decides to divorce, men are au- tomatically expected to pay up. I didn't think that parenting was all about finances even though I know that in child rearing it is important. But you can't expect for a man to be a father if all he is doing is offering the monetary component in raising his child. It all starts with pro-choice. You give women an inch and they take a mile. You let them single-handedly decide the fate of the child that they share with a man, then they get to single-handedly make all of the de- cisions regarding the children. It's not fair. Pro-choice is not fair to the men who want the child. Men have no power. I recognize that all situations are not alike, but in those instances to which my opinion applies, men should have some power. It's not all about being a mom or a dad, it's about being a parent. It's about hav- ing equality in parenting-mother or father. This writer can be contacted at adijeack@lec.ecu.edu. Chris Sachs IN MY' Smokers take your ashes elsewhere Regardless of how those around them feel, smokers will always try to defend their right to smoke and continuously carp about the freedom that it requires. Any attempt to stop people from doing that which they feel they are free to do is met with the harshest rebel- lion. Well, freedom is a concept worth fight- ing for but you have to look at it in context. Smoking does not belong in this fight for free- dom because smoking usually affects those that have to sit In the gray haze. No matter how much a smoker claims it is not up to oth- ers to decide or that smoking is their "right it does affect everyone around them and there- fore does not fall under the same freedom ar- gument that other ideas can claim. Let's take a case scenario of your basic smoker. We'll call him 'Hemming Flemming smokes a pack or more a day and begins as soon as he wakes up. His room reeks of smoke and the walls have yellowed because of it. This will cost money for the landlord to repaint. The carpet reeks of smoke and is littered with burn holes from ashes. More expense for the landlord, all due to Flemming's addiction. Now the smoker's roommate says that he'd rather Flemming not smoke outside his room, but Flemming sneaks the chance when he can. Now the other roommate's possessions are contaminated with smoke. The roommate's books are forever tainted with smoke and yel- lowing pages. His couch has ashes on it and a small bum hole or two. The house now smells like smoke and he has to put up with it be- cause of his roommate. He will suffer perma- nent damage because of this idiot's addiction. The smoker and friends go out to dinner and all present have to put up with a cloud of smoke while eating because Flemming refuses to leave the table for his craving, ruining the meal for everyone. All of this is due to this guy's addiction. They leave in one Car and everyone has to put up with having the window down so his addiction can blow out the window. And he drops ashes on the floor by accident, another small burn hole. The car begins to reek of smoke and the owner has to clean the smell out. And on the way home, Flemming asks the driver to stop at the Texaco station so he can buy a pack of smokes. All of this is due to this guy's addic- tion. Now his friends and everyone else around him have to put up with second hand smoke, increased risk of cancer and all the pain in the butt requirements that are needed to be friends with a smoker, all due to this guy's addiction. And these are just his dose friends. This does not include all the strangers he encounters that have to put up with it. So you see that smoking affects everyone, not just the smoker. So what if he is not allowed the same freedom as other habits and therefore is hassled? He should leave to go smoke somewhere else. He should have to pay high prices for the dgs to offset the can- cer bills he will rack up later in life. He should suffer because in the end we all do. So smokers, I don't really want to take away your freedom. I just want you to come up with an alternative way to feed your disgusting ad- diction without affecting another person. If you can achieve that, I will be smoking's biggest supporter and wish you the best cancer you can get. But until then, go to the middle of the desert (use it as your ashtray) and stay away from me.

Jason Kirk, 20, whose record includes felony convictions for theft, aiding an escape and vehicle theft, was shot in the groin with a gun that shoots rubber balls after re- peatedly refusing to go back to his cell on Nov. 11,1999. The lawsuit, which names 11 Utah State Prison officers as defendants, including Of- ficer Robert Grace as the alleged shooter, was filed in U.S. District Court on Tues- day. It says Kirk suffered se- vere physical pain and mental distress because of the incident. "This was a nonlethal round Corrections spokes- man Jack Ford said. "Unfor- tunately, it hit him in the groin. That was not the intended target The suit alleges the officers conspired to violate Kirk's civil rights and the shooting "constitutes cruel and un- usual punishment under the 8th Amendment" of the U.S. Constitution. The suit says doctors had to remove Kirk's left testicle and surgically repair his genitals as a result of the shooting. HUNTSVILLE, Ala.

Karen Loomis Crawford, 49, who had health problems in- cluding severe back pain, was apparently doing yard work in 99-degree heat when she was found, said police investigator Frank Fitzgerald.

Campus construction upsets balance in lots Emily Little FEATURES EDITOR Sometimes, the greatest vie tory of the day is finding a parking space. Whether you creep around the side streets or post a lookout in your favorite commuter lot, that $120 sticker never seems to get you close enough to campus. All the while, freshmen add to the lineup, and construction tears up what few spaces there are be- tween 5th and 10th streets. It may feel like a nightmare while you're circling with the other auto vul- tures, but according to David Santa Ana, director of parking and transpor- tation, the situation is under control. Although the private lot behind the General Classroom Building is gone for good, making way for the new Science "Hopefully within a short period of time after school starts we'll have our parking back David Santa Ana Director of Parking and Transportation and Technology Building, the other lots are only temporarily under con- struction. Facilities Services is putting in a new steam line that will run up College Hill. When the line is in place, the parking lots will be repaved. "Hopefully within a short period of time after school starts we'll have our parking back Santa Ana said. So that solves the short-term prob- lem. But that still leaves the ever-in- creasing freshman class and future plans for a pedestrian campus. According to University Archi- tect Bruce Flye, when the original plan was drawn up in 1991 for the pe- destrian campus, it was meant as an ideal. ECU was to be a campus for the students, where no cars got in the way of free-flowing traf- fic. But when recruitment began to sky- rocket, the idea became a necessity. "It's no longer a matter of an ideal, as an allocation of resources Flye said. see PARKING page 7 Wednesday July 26, 2000 www.tec.ecu.edu FEATURES PICK OF THE WEEK: Chicken Run Emily Little FEATURES EDITOR Contrary to popular belief, chickens are not stupid. A little naive maybe, but, according to Chicken Run, the new claymation film starring the voice of Mel Gibson, chickens are organized, plotting crea- tures who can read and write and have teeth and opposable thumbs. Rocky (Gibson), the American circus rooster, flies into a farm full of En- glish hens. Formerly pro- ducers for Tweedy's egg farm, the girls now face a horrible fate with Mrs. Tweedy's new chicken-pie-mak- ing machine, so they ask Rocky to teach them to fly away. Natu- rally, since they are chickens, they lack somewhat in ability. The story makes good enter- tainment for the kiddies, but the comedy Is aimed straight at the adults. The old RAF rooster who officially commands the hens continually makes references to his World War II days, referring to Rocky as "overpaid, over- sexed, and over here The American, meanwhile, plays his part by seducing all the women with his clever puns. For in- stance, he gets drunk, sticks his tail feather in his drink and calls it a "cocktail When the hens try to fly, a pair of rats sits by and rolls out one pun after the other about flying chickens. But, it's not all fun and games. There is suspense during Rocky's daring rescue of Ginger, his true chicken love. And the claymation is so well done, you really worry about whether or not the clan will escape the evil Mrs. Tweedy. Right up to the end, you'll be holding your breath. Chicken Run is not a Robin Williams kind of riot where you'll be rolling in the aisles and doubling over into your popcorn. But, it is one snick- ering moment after the other. If you can catch all the jokes, you'll laugh through the entire movie. If these were humans facing the same fate, it would be a hor- rible story. But the chickens are portrayed so accurately, aside from the reading and the oppos- able thumbs and the teeth, it's pure entertainment. This writer can be contacted at features@tec.ecu.edu.

When the new dining hall is constructed behind Fletcher Residence Hall, for instance, sev- eral resident spaces will have to go. That may mean that the freshman lot will be converted to a resident lot, and freshmen, currently taking up 1,100 spaces, will no longer be allowed park- ing permits. According to Santa Ana, the university is also considering purchasing the Daryll's parking lot across 10th Street. Then there's the parking deck. An expensive undertaking that has opened up controversy in the neighborhood about its lo- cation, the parking deck is cur- rently little more than a dim possibility. "It's anybody's guess Flye said. "It varies with the fund- ing Most of the money would probably come from parking fees. "The feasibility of a parking deck is when you've got no more parking whatsoever Santa Ana said.

HotDispatch adminis- ters the seller's Web page, handles the transaction and exchanges the money. To build customers, the service initially will be offered for free at http:www.hotdispatch.com. "We like to think of this as an analog to Yahoo! or Amazon.corn's Zshops, where a person puts items they own up for sale, except in this case it's only things that can be digitally delivered said Hazem Sayad, who co-founded HotDispatch and holds the title of chief dis- patcher. Like Napster Inc. and its mush- rooming number of file-swap- ping imitators that are vexing the music and video industries, HotDispatch's software makes the most of the decentralized nature of the Internet, and its business model largely depends on it not filtering the content being bought and sold. Its emergence suggests the sec- tor is here to stay despite efforts by the recording and motion pic- ture industries to protect their copyrighted collections. Napster faces a court hearing in U.S. District Court in San Fran- cisco on Wednesday, where the Recording Industry Association of America is seeking an injunc- tion that would effectively shut down http:www.napster.com. The R1AA also joined the Motion Picture Association of America Thursday in suing Scour.com, contending that http: www.scour.com is "Napster with movies But several other companies in the past month have announced they've received venture capital funding for peer-to-peer online exchanges, and plan to be up- and-running by fall. Researchers predict 600 million personal computers will be networked by 2003, representing an attractive opportunity for those who cre- ate a viable business plan. Peer-to-peer computing is a phrase that has circulated in the technology sector for decades, but only now is it becoming part of the American consciousness. The idea draws on the original philosophy of the Internet Itself, which was created by the U.S. military establishment as a de- centralized web of intercon- nected data-transfer machines. As it is being used now, if a person wants information such as a particular song, a query goes out to 10 computers, then gets relayed again and again to thou- sands of other computers in sec- onds until the song is found. The technology does not re- quire centralized server comput- ers like those that Napster uses to provide a clearinghouse for the music its users exchange, but many companies are devising plans to become middlemen for peer-to-peer, or P2P, transactions. HotDispatch's Sayed called OfficeFront a combination of business-to-business and P2P that puts the onus on the seller instead of the company to pro- vide accurate and legal digital information, much like eBay. Despite the recent enthusiasm for P2P computing, some ana- lysts warn of pitfalls. "With the Internet, it certainly could rise (in popularity) to a mammoth scale said Greg Blatnik, vice president at the Internet research and consulting firm Zona Research. "Survivor" wanted by police GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) � Dinner at The Olive Garden might cause one of the remain- ing eight "Survivor" contestants more indigestion than any of the rats, rays and rice she's eaten on the South China Sea island. Former Greensboro resident Kelly Wiglesworth, 23, is wanted by the local police department on a five-year-old warrant for using a stolen credit card. Police said Wiglesworth and Steven Patrick Winther, 26, went on a spending spree with a credit card belonging to Norma Jane Foster. "She was involved in stealing a credit card and using it said Sgt. K.D. Meredith of the Greens- boro Police Department.

Greensboro Police ally are sentenced to probation. Wiglesworth, who guides river- rafting trips in Nevada, is among the remaining contestants on the wildly popular CBS program "Survivor Police said Wiglesworth and Winther bought a meal at a local Olive Garden restaurant. A wait- ress there was arrested after she received a $30 rip for a $37.90 bill, according to court records. Andrea Martin accepted Foster's Visa card even though she knew it didn't belong to ei- ther of the customers she served, the records said. The case against Martin was dismissed in 1996 after she per- formed 75 hours of community service. In 1997, Wiglesworth's name came up on a national crime computer when she was stopped by police in Las Vegas. Greens- boro police were asked if they wanted to extradite Wiglesworth, but local police decided the crime she's accused of wasn't severe enough to go to the expense of bringing her back, Meredith said.

(AP)-Sean Blye has his eye on the Stanley Cup, but he's got some growing up to do first. He stands just 4-foot-l and weighs under 100 pounds. He is only 7, after all. "I just want to be a hockey player Sean said. His father, Jim Blye, says Sean and his brother Danny, 9, caught the hockey bug last year after taking ice-skat- ing lessons at the Cary Icehouse in suburban Raleigh. They saw the hockey players coming in and out, and they imagined that it'd be pretty fun Blye said. The boys' interest was further piqued by watching their hometown Carolina Hurricanes and Sean's favorite player, Ron Francis. The story is the same In many areas of the South. Coaches, parents and others involved in youth hockey throughout the region have seen a big increase in interest in the last several years. Teams like the Hurricanes, Atlanta Thrashers, Nashville Predators, Tampa Bay Lightning and Florida Panthers are making inroads in areas that have long been strongholds of college basketball, football and auto racing. It wasn't that way at first, said Brian Mehm, youth and amateur coordinator for the Hurricanes since the franchise, formerly the Hartford Whalers, relocated here in 1997. "I used to go to clinics, and I always asked kids, 'How many of you are Hurricanes fans? How many of you are hockey fans? Mehm said. "There was never a response, just one or two kids. Now, everybody's hand goes up, and they're asking me all about the play- ers. It's just unbelievable how much It's picked up John Latreille and Mike Flanagan both coach 14- to 16-year-olds in Nashville, Tenn. Latreille, originally from Quebec City, and Flanagan, a Toronto native, said there has been a similar youth hockey explosion in Nashville since the Predators came to town. Enrollment in youth programs has jumped from fewer than 300 youths to more than 1,000 in the past five years, Latreille said. "Some kids who were dreaming of being Jaromir Jagr in Pittsburgh, maybe now they're dreaming of being Gary Roberts in North Caro- lina Flanagan said. Jeff Daniels, Hurricanes forward and native of Oshawa, Ontario, says U.S. teams were taken lightly when he was playing youth hockey. "You'd play a team from the States, and you'd go, 'This is going to be an easy game Daniels said. That has changed. While Canadians once ac- counted for most of the NHL players, the pro rosters now are divided evenly among Canadi- ans, Europeans and Americans. Most Americans in the league are from the Northeast, but that, too, will change, Daniels predicts. Canadian players have dominated the sport for so long, he said, because they eat, sleep and breathe hockey as they are growing up. seeHOCKEYpagelO 10 The East Carolinian sports@tec.ecu.edu SPORTS I Wednesday July 26, 200O www. tec. ec u. ed u HOCKEY from page 9 "That's the thing in Canada-as soon as you're walking they put a pair of skates on you he said. But, as the game continues to spread throughout the United States, so will the hockey culture, which in turn will produce top-level players, Daniels said. Hockey's growing popularity can be felt at ECU. The ECU roller hockey club recently finished its first season. Made up of a mix of 15-20 kids from both the Northeast and the South. "Everybpdy's like, 'Wow, we have a hockey team?" said club member Chris Glennon. Glennon is one of many new North Carolina residents who emigrated from the Northeast. Glennon moved to Raleigh in the Fall of 1998 af- ter growing up a hockey fan in Cape Cod, Mass. "I think much of (the growth of popularity of hockey) is due to people from up north who come down here and still want to see hockey Glennon said. "A lot of people grew up with it and still care about it Another reason for hockey's growth in North Carolina is due to the Hurricanes, who sponsor street, inline and ice hockey at all levels. Through efforts like the Mobile Hockey Tour, which last month brought top youth roller-hockey teams to Raleigh's Entertainment and Sports Arena-the Hurricanes' home ice-the 'Canes are promoting the game and broadening their fan base. The Hurricanes' Rink Rats program puts 6- to 8- year-olds on the ice between periods at home games. "It's a big thrill for them Mehm said. "We announce their score, and sometimes we have video clips from the game on the Jumbotron John Biederman, president of the Raleigh Youth Hockey Association, says his organization is hav- ing a hard time keeping up with the demand. The association had 710 children on the ice last fall, up 200 from the year before. It has added a spring league and many new teams in all age groups, from 4 to 18. But Biederman said he is going to have to start turning youths away. There are just three rinks In the Raleigh area, with the Entertainment and Sports Arena available only occasionally. "Anybody can knock in a couple of posts and "Everybody's like, 'Wow, we have a hockey team? Chris Glennon Club member you've got a soccer field, or throw down a couple of T-shirts and there's a Softball field, but you can't do that with a sheet of ice Biederman said. David Cole, the Thrashers' manager of fan de- velopment, said while his team has stirred enor- mous interest among Atlanta youths, it doesn't au- tomatically translate into the area immediately producing pro prospects. "To get to that next level, you've got to get to the absolute best competition, and for the next few years, the best competition is not here " he said. Manny Hawkins, who plays in an adult league out of the Cary Icehouse and coaches 14- and 15- year-olds, said one problem is there are few oppo- nents for the young hockey converts. While grow- ing up in Buffalo, N.Y his team had eight or nine potential opponents within a half-hour's drive, he said. "The team I coached this year, we were playing league games six hours away, and I think that turns a lot of people away Hawkins said. "Guys up there skate at least four or five times a week, but here they don't have that Boston native Sean Sullivan, a youth hockey coach in Raleigh for eight years, said most of the kids he coaches are transplants from the North or Canada whose families relocated here because of the booming job market. Their experience is rub- bing off on local youths, he said. Most youth hockey coaches in the South are Northern transplants, too. "They're all very talented coaches, and they're able to bring their knowledge and experience down South with them, which is key Sullivan said.

Trustees approve extension for Hamrick GREENVILLE, N.CThe ECU Board of Trustees Friday ex- tended the contract of Director of Athletics Mike Hamrick until the year 2004. Hamrick's annual salary also was increased from $130,000 to $164,300. The Board also ap- proved Hamrick's recommenda- tion that the contract of head women's basketball coach Dee Gibson be extended until the year 2003. Gibson's salary was increased from $80,000 to $87,500. Under Hamrick's leadership, the Pirates' athletic program has reached new heights. Since be- ing named athletics director in April of 1995, Hamrick orches- trated the Pirates' football entry into Conference USA in 1996 and played a large role in ECU gaining all-sports membership into C-USA last October. The overall ECU athletics program has achieved new-found success. Also, he has overseen $38 mil- lion in athletics facilities improve- ments, including the ongoing construction of the Strength and Conditioning Center. Hamrick has also recently initiated plans to build a new baseball stadium. The overall ECU athletics pro- gram has achieved new-found success. The Pirate baseball pro- gram under head coach Keith LeClair has been a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Regionals the past two years. The ECU softball team earned 60 victories last spring, becoming only the 14th team in NCAA history to do that. This past year, ECU Athletics experi- enced unprecedented success in all sports with three Colonial Athletic Association team cham- pionships. As ECU's success has grown, so has its exposure. Hamrick has negotiated exclusive television agreements with FOX Sports Net South and WITN-TV. Combined with the Pirates' deal with ESPN and the Conference-USA package through FOX Sports Net, the pro- gram is receiving exposure never before realized. Last fail, all 12 ECU football games were tele- vised. Gibson, who became East Carolina's women's basketball coach in 1998, has guided the Lady Pirates to back-to-back win- ning seasons, the first time since the 1992 and 1993 seasons ECU has accomplished that feat.

(AP)- Steve Beuerlein opened his 14th NFL season with a mix of emo- tions. The veteran quarterback was thrilled to finally begin a year as the incumbent starter. But, at 35, he was disheartened to learn he's the oldest player on Carolina's roster. "I got a little depressed when I heard that Beuerlein said Wednesday. "1 never thought I'd be the oldest guy. 1 can still re- member being a rookie. "But I look at it from the posi- tion that if you're the oldest it means you've been doing some- thing right and must have fought through a lot to get to this point That's never been more true than now for Beuerlein, who threw for 36 touchdowns last year and an NFL-best 4,436 yards. But he had little time to cel- ebrate the best season of his ca- reer. Days after playing in his first Pro Bowl, Beuerlein had the first of five offseason operations. He had a hernia operation. That was followed by arthroscopic surgery on his left knee to repair torn cartilage, then on his left ankle to remove bone chips. Next up was surgery on his right throwing shoulder, which had been bothering him for al- most four years. Doctors discov- ered a bone spur in the joint and shaved it down. (f that wasn't enough, doctors discovered in May that he needed a second hernia-related operation because a torn abduc- tor tendon was not healing. The operations forced the quarterback to the sidelines dur- ing both of the Panthers' minicamps, allowed only to do some light throwing. But Beuerlein reported to camp with the rookies to get a jump on his conditioning and said he'll be ready to go Thursday when the rest of the veterans take to the field for the first time. "It feels good to be going into a season without any lingering or nagging problems he said. "I think I'm doing better than a lot of people thought I would be at this point and just anxious to throw some passes again Beuerlein has so far been lim- ited in what the Panthers will let him do on the field. At one point, coach George Seifert feared he wouldn't get any work out of Beuerlein until mid- way through training camp. But now that he's so far ahead of schedule, Seifert Isn't taking any chances with his quarterback and has been holding him back. "To have him getting this much work in, we now expect to have him ready for our first (ex- hibition) game and don't want to jeopardize that Seifert said. Beuerlein said he has work to do before he'll be in the same shape he was last season. He's noticed a loss of arm strength and is not yet in what he called "football condition And the rookies keep Beuerlein on his toes, constantly asking him for advice. "I'm the guy a lot of people come to he said. "It seems the older you get the more people want to pick your brain. 1 guess I'm just the fatherly type Beat the Rush & Come Stay with US!

Petty Enterprises will con- tinue its plan to field three Winston Cup cars next season, with Kyle Petty assuming the role his son, Adam, was expected to have. Petty on Tuesday said he will permanently drive the car Adam raced in until he was killed in a May practice crash.

"I felt like it was important to get into the 45 and continue something we had worked hard to begin and Adam had be- gun Petty said. "And I have to admit I get more enjoyment driving the 45 car than running Winston Cup The decision means Petty will give up his own Winston Cup car and lose his longtime sponsor Hot Wheels. It also signifies a major restructuring at Petty Enterprises. Petty, 40, has been driving Adam's Busch car since the 19-year-old was killed at New Hampshire International Speedway. "I couldn't see putting someone whose last name wasn't Petty back into the car Petty said. "It's a healing process. Emotionally for me it's been a pretty big boost being in that car. "We didn't change one thing on that ear-not the seats, not the steering wheel. When I sit in the car, I'm sitting in the same seat (Adam) sat in, holding the same wheel, and I feel close to him Petty will only drive his No. 44 Winston Cup car until Sep- tember, then focus solely on the rest of the Busch season.
