The Greenville Fire Chief then inspected all areas surrounding the leak while police officers unblocked traffic. "There were minimum traffic delays, but within an hour the road blocks were taken away and traffic returned to normal he said. After being evacuated from GCB, junior Phillip Gilfus was relieved to find that nothing serious had occured. "They reopened the building after a couple hours, and everything seemed the same Gilfus said. "It was business as usual According to Knight, this is the first gas leak to occur on campus in the past year. "This is definitely the first time this has happened recently Knight said.

The 11th Annual Business Career Day, sponsored by ECU Career Services, will take place tomorrow at 8:30 a.ml p.m. on the first and third floors of the General Classroom Building. All students and alumni are encouraged to attend. Professional attire and copies of your resume are required. Interviews with recruiters will not be held at the fair, however, students will have the opportunity to schedule interviews to be held later on in the year. Out of the 100 businesses that were invited to Career Day, 76 will be in attendance. They are listed below: 1. Have a penpencil and paper available for notes. 2. Bring resumes and a folder or portfolio to hold your materials. 3. Take the time to find out what companies will be represented prior to the day of the career fair. 4. Research information about the participating companies and organizations prior to approaching the recruiters. Use the Internet, news sources and career fair materials to learn about the companies' booths you plan to visit. It is very impressive to a recruiter when you know about their company and can discuss their current situation. 5. In a career fair, use the time wisely. Determine where employers are located and in what order to visit them. Focus on three companies that you are truly interested in. 6. Broaden your focus and include many types of employers. For instance, you may not have considered working for a hospital, but hospitals recruit and hire professionals in many different fields (e.g manage- ment, information systems or health care). 7. Be aware of time demands on employers. Do not monopolize an employer's time. Ask specific questions and offer to follow up after the fair, as appropriate. 8. Be direct. Introduce yourself, including your name and class year. If you are job seeking, state the type of position in which you are interested. If you are gathering information, let employers know that you are only interested in materials and informa- tion. Remember to use good eye contact and a firm handshake. 9. Make sure you learn from the recruiter employ- ment andor hiring trends, skills necessary for different jobs, current openings, salary, benefits, training and other information about the organization. Also make sure you know whom to contact for follow-up discussions. 10. Ask the employer for the next steps in the recruitment process and try to obtain the employer's business card for follow-up discussions correspondence.

Tropical storm warnings have been dropped for the Atlantic coast of northern Florida, Georgia and South Carolina. However, Gordon's effects will still be felt, as remaining rain bands are expected to travel up the Atlantic seaboard over the next couple of days. The storm could also trigger tornadoes across South Carolina and southern North Carolina. At least one tornado was reported Sunday in Palm Beach County, Fla. The twister reportedly struck a mobile home park but caused no injuries. Gordon came ashore over the small community of Cedar Key on Florida's Gulf Coast about 8 p.m. (EDT) Sunday. No injuries or deaths were reported. Gordon generated sustained winds of near 70 mph, heavy rain and a storm surge with waves more than six feet high. An evacuation had been recom- mended for Cedar Key, but most of the 800 residents chose to ride out the storm. The fishing village, about 100 miles north of Tampa, sits two to three feet above sea level. "It was a pleasant surprise because it could have gotten stron- ger out there said Don Sandsler, whose family owns a Gulf front restaurant and bar. "It was disorga- nized before it got here, so we kind of dodged the bullet here Sandsler said. Meteorologists with the NHC in Miami said the storm weakened as it approached the coast and pulled in dry air from the Gulf of Mexico and the south- eastern VS. Stateoffi- clals said schools are closed today In the following Florida counties: Columbia, Suwannee, Taylor, Citrus and Gilchrist. About 200 Florida National Guardsmen are sched- uled to help authorities assess the damage today. Gordon spread rain across much of the Sunshine State. Rain fell as far south as Miami and the Florida Keys last night. There was flooding in Southwest Florida, but no reports of major damage. Officials said about 120,000 homes and businesses lost power; all but 11,000 were restored by Monday morning. Officials at the Tampa Interna- tional Airport recommended that travelers contact their airlines before heading to the airport, as the storm system delayed flights. In addition, some airlines were not operating on a full flight schedule. Goodbye Florence Tropical Storm Florence is fiz- zling as it churns farther into the North Atlantic. As of 5 p.m. (EDT) Sunday, the center of Florence was located about 45 miles northeast of Cape Race, Newfoundland. Maximum sus- tained winds were near 60 mph. Florence formed last Monday and idled for several days before picking up speed and passing just to the west of Bermuda over the weekend.

A recent advertisement in the school's student newspaper was a little too 1900 for its own good, though, and now the chapter is facing a wave of suspensions, sanctions and negative publicity. University officials deemed the ad, which depicted fraternity members posing with a black- faced lawn jockey in handcuffs, racially and sexually insensitive, and barred the fraternity from participating in any of WIU's campus activities for the 2000-01 school year. Assistant Executive Vice Pres- ident of Delta Tau Delta, Garth Lberhart said that the fraternity is working with the university to jointly discipline the WIU chapter. Sanctions include par- ticipation by the chapter in educational programs, a letter of apology and regularly-scheduled meetings with university offi- cials. In addition, the university's judicial board ordered the fra- ternity to participate in the school's fall leadership confer- ence, "Take Back the Night as well as on-campus Martin Luther King celebrations and the WISDOM Cultural Issues Conference The ad appeared in the Aug. 28 edition of the Western Cou- rier, WIU's official student news- paper, and immediately caused a campus-wide eruption of both puzzlement and outrage. WIU University Relations Director John Maguire says that members of the chapter have been swift to seak not only with university officials but students as well. The day the ad appeared, fraternity members met with the university's Black Student Association in order to clear the air and apologize. Penn State student arrested for assaulting sleeping female students Penn State U. (U-WIRE)-Penn State University police arrested a 21-year-old student Wednesday, Sept. 13, after he allegedly entered the dorm rooms of 13 female fresh- men and groped six of them as they slept. Hung Truong, of Harris- burg, Pa was charged with five counts of burglary, 13 counts of trespass, one count of aggravated indecent assault, six counts of indecent assault and 12 counts of harassment. A cash bond has been set at $50,000 and Truong is currently being held in Centre County Prison. He faces a Sept. 20 court date. Truong entered the unlocked rooms of the students before 4 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 10, and indecently touched six sleeping women and verbally harassed seven women who were awake, said Campus Police Lt. Clifford Lutz. The dorm-room doors use a deadbolt and do not auto- matically lock when closed. Many of the victims informed their resident life coordinator, who in turn called campus police. During the sub- sequent investigation, several of the victims identified Truong in a police lineup. Man is charged with car jacking two college students CHARLESTON, S.C. (U-WIRE)-A 22-year-old man has been charged after two College of Charleston students told police he kidnapped them at knifepoint and robbed them of $200. Jalal Fahem Beyah of Charleston was charged on Friday with armed robbery, car jacking and kidnapping, said Charles Francis, a police spokesman. Beyah is accused of forcing his way into the women's car shortly before 1 a.m. Thursday. He then drove to a bank machine and forced one of the women to withdraw money from her account and later fled on foot, police said. "We pretty much thought we were going to die said Reed Messer, one of the victims. "The more I think about it, there is so much that could have gone wrong Neither Messer, 19, nor her roommate, 20-year-old Marysa Raymond, was injured in the attack. "He was cussing and scream- ing at us to give him money, saying 'I'll cut you. I'll kill you Messer said. A tip led police to Beyah who was hiding in the closet of a vacant apartment, Francis said.

Take Back the Night, if not for your- self, for others that may need your support. OUR VIEW We at TEC encourage each one of you to go out and Take Back the Night. There have been a few sexual assaults that have occurred on campus and we have done our best to notify you, the student body, on safety precautions to avoid the assaults. It has hit us close to home when one of the assaults happens right out front of our building while we were inside. It frightens TEC just as much as you, the victim. Take Back the Night is an important event on campus. For all those who have been through the unfortunate experience of sexual assault, attending this event will help provide closure from the helplessness that you previously felt. It is a way to fight back and be a victim no longer. For those who caused the assault, you know who you are-there is no way that you can apologize for what you did. This event, if attended, is a way to start repenting for your stupidity and begin mending your ways. You can never ask forgiveness for what you did but you can learn from this mistake and try to fight for a cause to prevent future assaults that may occur. For students who have not been invloved in any way in the matter, this event may not mean as much. You never know though. There can be a time when your family member, significant other, child or even yourself may be involved in this situation. Take a stand now and fight back for what may happen in your future. Take Back the Night, if not for yourself, for others that may need your support. V IN MY OPINION Dating do's and don'ts for the socially impaired P.P. NaUe. OPINION COLUMNIST IN MY OPINION Issue: Health Care f?.T?lTtT?TtTCTl Democratic View AI Gore is quickly proving that he is the best candidate in this year's presidential election. The vice president has gained a small but solid edge in the polls over his Republican counterpart, George W. Bush. He leads Bush by at least five points in all three major polls of likely American voters. Republicans might dismiss Gore's slight lead as insignificant, but Big Al's comeback in the polls is a direct reflection of voter prefer- ence for his sensible policy ideas. While Junior Bush is congenial and popular, his domestic policy ideas lack substance and direction. Gore is winning over voters by beating Bush on the issues. U.S. health care policy is a solid example of an issue where Gore's superiority over Bush is obvious. Most people believe that Every- one deserves competent health care regardless of personal wealth. We should be able to chose our own doctors. We should have the right to see a specialist if we need to. We should be able to appeal any medical decision we don't agree with. These are simple concepts, yet Americans have no guarantee of these so-called patient rights. Gore wants to change that. He supports a patient bill of rights that will establish these important funda- mentals. Bush does not. Imagine being denied the right to use the nearest emergency room because you don't have insurance. Ridicu- lous. Another advantage Gore has over Bush is his commitment to American families. Many lower and middle-class parents struggle to pay outrageous fees for their family health plans. Gore believes that the federal government has a responsibility to help these working-class families. The vice president wants to expand the federal Children's Health Insur- ance Policy (CHIP) to cover all lower- and middle-income chil- dren. He also wants to include lower- income adults in the program. His plan would massively expand the availability of free health care for this country's children and adults. Bush's plan is much smaller and would have a negligible effect on health care access. The cost of prescription drugs is a maor concern for the aging baby boomers. Mom and Dad are getting old! Again, Gore offers a better plan. Gore wants to use the predicted budget surplus as a prescription drug benefit for Medicare benefi- ciaries. He also will demand full prescription benefits for those with catastrophic illnesses. On the other hand, Junior would waste the surplus on a meaningless tax cut and rely on the private sector for prescription drug benefits. It's unfortunate that in the year 2000 voter apathy has become the norm in the American politi- cal scene. We, too often hear, "It doesn't matter, anyway Nothing could be further from the truth. As the health care issue demon- strates, this election will have long lasting implications on all of our lives. It will matter if you break your leg and are then denied access to the local emergency room. It will matter if you can't afford medica- tion to help keep your blood pres- sure down. It will matter if you need a back specialist but can't afford one. It doesn't matter, of course, if you own several Texas oil compa- nies and can buy any health care you want. Bush will suffer as the election wears on and as more issues come into the public's focus. The differ- ences between the two candidates will be sharpened and the choice will be clear. Al Gore for president of the United States. COLLEGE REPUBLICANS IN MY OPINION Issue: Health Care ammmn! Republican View There are 44 million Americans without health care in the United States and an additional 38 million nave inadequate health care; leaving no doubt that there is a need for ierious change to our current health are system. The Clinton administration has reduced some cost related to health care. Of course, reduction in the :ost of health care has significantly reduced the quality of service for Americans, and hindered the ability af medical personnel to do their 10b. One problem is the current idministration's inability to solve severe problems with the Medicare iystem and prescription drug cost. For example, Medicare, the bed- rock of care for the elderly, There is t good chance the current system nrill fail by the time you need it. Imagine all of the taxes you pay, and ry the time you need Medicare, it won't even exist. Another problem s prescription drugs. Every day, many senior citizens nave to choose between buying Tiedicine or food. No one should nave to choose between medicine ind food in a country where health rate is second to none. It is obvious that the demands of elderly care are on the rise. It is time for our generation to make some quick changes, and take responsibility for restructuring the current health care system. The Clinton administration has done little to improve the health care system over the last eight years; when they have tried to accomplish anything solid it has failed. The Republican driven Patients Bill of Rights is a bill that allows individual states to continue manag- ing consumer protection for citizens, and guarantees emergency room coverage to millions of uninsured Americans. It limits the amount of federal bureaucratic involvement in your health care decisions. Controlling state laws on health care only reduces the quality of health care that patients receive. In fact, reducing the amount of involvement by the federal govern- ment will ensure better quality health care for Americans. It will allow you to make a personal choice about what kind of health care you want and need. Private health care will only increase competition and improve the quality of health care you receive. The best way for Americans to receive health care is through employee benefits. Currently the economy is in great shape and most businesses can afford to provide adequate health care for employ- ees. Additionally, the unemploy- ment rate is the lowest in many years, shielding the slowly decaying health care system. However, if the economy changes, companies will begin to cut health care benefits and American's will pay-if they can afford it. Finally, let's talk about North Carolina's hospitals. There are many counties within North Carolina that do not have a hospital, or a properly funded health depart- ment. To alleviate this problem, Republicans are proposing $4.3 billion to expand health care in undeserved and remote areas. We have an obligation to make changes in our health care system over the next four years. Remember that we all have the right to good health and should have access to the best health care system in the world. (, The Daily Aztec (San Diego State U.)It was one of the worst dates I've ever been on "Not only did he have bad breath, he wouldn't quit talking about himself You men all dread this type of negative feedback from us ladies after a first date. Comments like these can definitely knock down any man's confidence when prep- ping to ask a girl out for a second date.So how is a guy supposed to impress the woman of the new millennium? It may be even easier than you think. You may have just over- looked a few things we ladies grade you beefcakes on. I'd like to offer a few suggestions for you baffled males, whose dating "batting aver- age" has kicked you down to the farm team. 1. Punctuality is a must. By being on time, if not a few minutes early, you'll show how meaningful this date is to you. 2. Never show up empty handed. Romance is a great way to jump-start that first date. No need to invest in a dozen roses, unless of course you can afford it! 3. Don't forget to compliment your date. Whether it's how great she looks, how her hair shines, how sweet she smells, or on her choice of wardrobe, make sure it's sincere. Even if she dismisses it as a line, she will still appreciate it. 4. Always remember to open doors and pull out seats. Chivalry is rare in this day and age, but still widely respected. Yes, we females are extremely capable of opening our own doors and pulling out our own seats at the dinner table. By at least offering to do these things for your date, she'll notice how well you were raised. 5. Don't forget to clean your car, inside and out. I've heard many complaints about how well polished a male's method of trans- portation initially appeared on the outside, only to be upstaged by last week's laundry and Jack in the Crack leftovers. Remember the inside of your car may also be a reflection of what your room looks like, so you may want to paint a good picture for future reference. (As a side note, your personal hygiene can also determine the fate of the first date.) 6. Never bring up past relation- ships-and don't ask your date about hers. No one wants to hear about your excess baggage and hang-ups. 7. Assuming this is a dinner date, do not place her order for her. Remember, she is capable of making her own decisions. After all, she did decide to go out with you. 8. Table manners will make you or break you. Napkin on your lap and chew with your mouth closed. Do not dominate conversation at the dinner table with your list of achievements. Play humble and if she really digs you she will ask you about what makes you so special. Most importantly, save the burping contests for the homies. 9. Assuming this is also a movie date, don't try anything funny. No yawning and stretching your arm around your date without her consent. Oh, and save the sweet talk for after the movie. Nobody likes a bugaboo while they're wrapped up in the plot. 10. And finally, never assume you deserve a kiss goodnight. She doesn't owe you a thing-even if you did end up picking up the tab! 'Well, there you have it. A few pointers for those lost souls who seem to have been strik- ing out the last few times at bat. Am I old-fashioned on this sub- ject? Maybe so. But I believe a touch of "old-fashioned" sentiment is a good thing every now and then. I don't profess to be an expert on this subject. I am merely relay- ing the complaints I've heard most from girls who've endured bad dates. In no way do I guarantee you'll win over the lady of your dreams, but should you get the chance to go out with her-who' knows? These simple rules may at least get your foot in the door to; that loving relationship. :o4uue. HocAelU IN MY OPINION Green Party: an alternative solution The 1996 presidential election saw the lowest voter turn out since 1924. The majority, 51 percent of voter eligible Americans, chose not to attend on Election Day. If one looks at following state- wide elections and primaries an even more record number has opted to not participate. It Is a growing trend in our country, as the lines between Democrats and Republicans blur in an ever- expanding arena of political inef- fectiveness, for the common Ameri- can to throw up their hands in apathy. The consensus has become, "They both suck so it doesn't matter who I vote for If one feels that the voting process has disintegrated into a decision of choosing between the lesser of two evils, doesn't that show a problem has inherently manifested itself in our system? When a majority of a population of a democratic nation is no longer actively participating in its govern- ment then that institution may no longer be called a true representa- tion of what the people want. The realm of bipartisanship has given way to the world of high dollar corporate interests. It has gotten to a point of such blatant corruption that parties can no longer deny their illegal actions. Instead they ignore the points and hide behind campaigns of finger pointing and over-information waiting for the storm to blow over, letting the issue dry up and fade away from the amazingly short attention spans of the American political mind. It is In opposition to these very acts that independent parties are ever slowly gaining more and more credibility as they offer alternatives to the rotten stagnation that has become Washington. Voters are no longer buying Into the myth of DemocraticRepublican blindsides and empowering themselves to vote Independent. One such party quickly gaining ground in the nation's interest is the Green Party. Built upon a platform of social justice, strong community involve- ment, and sound ecological sus- tainability it challenges the very notions of what our current system has come to represent. By its own statement of pur- pose the Green party centers itself around 10 key values: ecological wisdom, social justice, grassroots democracy, nonviolence, decentral- ization, community-based econom- ics, feminism, respect for diversity, personal and global responsibility and future focussustainability Candidates Ralph Nader and his running mate Winona Laduke head the Green ticket this year for the upcoming Presidential elec- tions. Together they bring a new perspective and fresh insight into the sociopolitical justice our coun- try deserves. Why is it, when we're told that we live in an age of unprecedented economic growth, that the minimum wage worker is making less today than (adjusting for inflation) in 1979? It is incongruities and decep- tions such as this that has turned our nation upside down and now is the time for "change It's a small word but a big step, some are even afraid of it. Change is not reform. Like a dead horse, our politicians continue to beat our nation with the stick of "reform When something is broken you don't just paint it a different color- you fix it. Changes are necessary and it is how we grow. What kind of country are we living in wheni terms like "rat race" and "dog! eat dog world" can begin to be; applied to our lifestyle. This is not; the nature of the world. How can a system that demands from its workers longer hours at less pay be allowed to perpetuate? Because we let it. We ignore the issues, let our televisions decide our beliefs, and spend the days feeling disgruntled and helpless. But we're not helpless and we can make a difference. It's a simple messagc-you'd expect it to spread like wildfire, but try telling some- one. See what kind of reaction you get and then you'll realize just how deep our conditioning has gone. If we are ever going to effect change then first we need to change our minds. Break free from the mental chains of weakness, apathetic indif- ference, and powerlessness and realize just how simple it is to put some control back into your life. It is this kind of message the Green Party is trying to share this election year. For some it might be a new message but for all It is an important message. Our government is no longer a true voice of its people and as a result we are taking a backseat to a world of corruption and greed. It is up to us to change all that. The Green Party represents that change and this election day will give us an opportunity to put this country back where it belongs-in the hands of the people.

You might have to change the old habit. Fortunately, you can. Taurus (April 20-May 20) The money won't last long if you're not careful. Don't get carried away. A trip or higher education looks like a good invest- ment. Gemini (May 21-June 21) You and a family memberroommate should have reached a consensus by now. If you're ready to work together, you can make great things happen. Cancer (June 22-July 22) Don't let a co-worker hurt your feelings. A change that affects your routine may have nothing to do with you personally. Watch for ways to stash more money away. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Don't feel bad if a friend and your mate seem like they're ganging up on you. They might be trying to teach you something important. Virgo (Aug. 23-5ept. 22) Just because you feel stressed doesn't mean you should give up. Sometimes you get creative under these conditions. There's a chance for advancement today. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) New information could cause a change in plans. Confer with a loved one before you take off so you're sure to make a con- nection later.

Jones testified he agreed to kill Stacy Robinson, 19, and that, in return, her estranged husband would waive the $300 Jones owed him for a 1986 Cadillac and a compact disc player. In the end, Jones didn't actually kill her. A jury convicted Robinson of doing the deed. In his defense, he claimed that he knocked her down by accident and that his new girlfriend, Antoinette Hill, strangled her. But he admits he threw Stacy's body into the Tennessee River. Hill faces a later trial. Hell hath no fury Political rule number one: Don't dump your wife when you're running for reelection. U.S. Rep.

VISITOR'S BUREAU Students, residents, alumni attend featured event Maura Buck FEATURES EDrTOR Venture downtown on Fridays from 5 p.m7 p.m. and you may stumble upon quite a happening. An event, entitled Freeboot Fridays, takes place on the corner of Reade and Cotanche streets on the Friday before a home football game. The event premiered on Sept. 8 after the Thursday night game against Virginia Tech. "We actually had about 350 people attend last week (Sept. 8) said Debbie Vargas of the GreenvillePitt County Convention and Visitors Bureau. "We were really happy with that number considering that the game was on a Thursday and it was the first week Freeboot Fridays are an after hours event mod- eled after other North Carolina cities that foster downtown development. This includes Raleigh's Live at Five. "We want downtown to be more than a place students go to for the bars Vargas said. "We want it to be a thriving place Freeboot activities include a live band, an active beer garden as well as non-alcoholic refreshments, merchandise booths and food vendors. The inten- tion is to include an array of people, from students to families to residents of Greenville. "We are really happy in having another excit- ing venue for alumni and students to network together and celebrate ECU as well as the Greenville community said Carolyn Thompson, director of programs at the Alumni Center. "The actual purpose of Freeboot Friday is to provide a diverse social atmosphere while encourag- ing downtown as a destination for events as well as business activity Vargas said. U.S. Cellular, along with a slew of other sponsors including the Alumni Association and University Book Exchange (UBE), help put the event together in order to promote unity among the community and the students of Greenville. "One of the most important roles that the Alumni Association can play is to help to forge this bond between current students and alumni said Phillip Home, associate vice chancellor for Alumni Relations. " it's the hallmark of this country's greatest universities. Students will be greatly impressed with how much ECU alumni are interested in and want to help them. All proceeds will go to future downtown Green- ville community events. There will be two more Freeboot Friday events, Sept. 22 (Pirate Club Weekend) and Oct. 13 (Homecoming Weekend) for residents alike to join in on the festivities. "This event is an excellent opportunity for students to network with several generations of ECU Alumni Home said.

I thought it was great. I have never laughed so hard Dawn Behling SOPHOMORE Did you happen to notice an over abundance of parents floating around on campus this weekend? Well, for those of you who do not stay on top of current events, It was Parents Weekend. "We had a turn out of 2,500 parents this year which was much larger than last year said Laura Sweet, assistant dean of Student Life. "I think the weather helped though. Last year at this time we had all just suffered through Floyd Aside from being able to spend quality time with their children, parents were offered endless activities to fill their time. Friday night's concert at Wright Auditorium was the perfect bonding experience for parents and students. Fantastic: A tribute to Elton John, featuring an uncanny Elton John impersonator brought students and parents out in droves. The packed house at Wright Auditorium danced and sang to Elton John classics such as: "Daniel "I'm Still Standing "Crocodile Rock" and a list of others. The audience participation would have brought Elton John himself to tears. Several couples even got up and slow danced in the aisles during his timeless ballad, "Your Song "The people next to me were going crazy, singing loudly and jumping up and down said sophomore Dawn Behling. "I thought it was great. 1 have never laughed so hard The activities just kept coming starting Saturday morning at 10 a.m. with the Chancellor's Recep- tion. Molly Broad, University of North Carolina president, spoke to a full house of parents and F.CU faculty. Broad addressed the crowd about bond issues and the support it will lend ECU. "It was a great event Sweet said. "Molly was very personable and parents had the opportunity to meet and talk with Chancellor Eakin, who is always very excited about meeting parents. " The Ledonia Wright Multi-Cultural Center provided an open house, encouraging many people to stop by and take a look at the new center. Lunch drew the crowds in with a traditional down home pig pickin' provided by dining services. Parents and students ate and socialized until the start of the energizing game against Tulane. What a treat it was for parents to watch the Pirates make "The Green Wave" walk the plank into a sea of defeat. The game was followed by an abundance of events for those who were not to weary to participate, including an appropriate showing of Gladiator starring Australian star Russell Crowe. For those parents who had the energy left to stay through Sunday, the ECU performing Arts series presented, Black Watch, a very dignified group of bagpipe performers. "They were wonderful and the turn out was phenomenal said senior Earline White. This writer can be contacted at features@tec.ecu.edu. Career Services helps students find their way into working world Jason Cox FEATURES WRITER We all remember walking dazed around campus with a schedule on a piece of paper wondering if we will ever find our way to the right building. We were scared, lost and frantic in a new world, becoming small fish in a big pond. Even though we get over it and learn where everything on campus is, there may be yet another scare ahead for students. So you have been here for years and are ready to graduate, but then what? The transition from student into the working class can be confusing and frightening as well. ECU's Career Services, located at 701 E. 5th Street, is in your corner to help make the transition a little easier. Whether a freshman worried about what major interests or a recent graduate having a little trouble finding a job, Career Services has something to help everyone. "Our goal is to do all the things to help further students one more step towards employment said Jim Westmoreland, who works with Career Services. Westmoreland is enthusiastic about helping each new face find some sort of resolution or enlightenment with Career Services. "We have three self service rooms with employer information and career information, as well as a fully working classroom where we hold various workshops during the week Westmoreland said. The various workshops available help students find their ideal career, write resumes, explore various local careers and advise them how to successfully complete employment interviews. Each day of the week a different seminar is held, which all students are invited to attend. "We help freshmen find a major based on desired career Westmoreland said. "We help juniors prepare to exit college and enter the workplace, as well as helping grad students that are having a little difficulty He also advises students to check the Career Services Web site at www.ecu.educareer. "There is an abundance of information there for anyone from freshmen to graduate students and is wonderful for our day students who may not be able to make it to our offices as easily as the campus residents Westmoreland said. The process at Career Services is somewhat simple. Students may visit the office and register themselves for employment based on career as well as for the many workshops available. "I recently filled out the paper work at Career Services and am preparing to graduate and hopefully more easily find a job that suits me said senior Mark LotMlD. Lorado Is an out of state student from New Jersey and admits that he feels safer knowing that Career Services is preparing him to better find a job once he graduates. "I am not real sure what 1 plan to do after school said senior Gray Hines. "I've been here for four years and plan on visiting Career Services since my career at Piggly Wiggly hasn't really taken off yet Lorado and Hines are certainly not alone, as there are many students who will graduate this December or next May. "Our office is a point of contact for employers to meet our students Westmoreland said. He advises students to at least stop by Career Services just to insure they are on the right track. Career Services also has all the information about upcoming events and activities taking place to interest students ready for the workplace. Students may visit the Career Services office for information or check the Web site. ECU'S Career Day is Wednesday, Sept. 20th. Many area employers will be on campus to talk to and recruit students into the workplace. Westmoreland is excited to see all of the employers available for students to talk with and strongly advises students to set aside some time to speak with any employers in their prospective fields.

Duke University and the Uni- versity of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have received letters from attorney Howard King asking the institutions to "promptly ban access by your community to Napster While the letter doesn't explic- itly threaten litigation, the letter to Duke says the university "has a moral, ethical and legal obligation to assure that it is not a willing participant in and an enabler of the theft of intellectual property through Napster King asked university officials to provide their positions and instruc- tions to students with respect to access to Napster in institutional networks by next Thursday. Duke's letter arrived Monday, while UNC-CH's arrived Tuesday. 1 he universities were among more than a dozen King targeted. Duke's university counsel is still considering its response, said John Rurness, senior vice president for public relations. It was unclear whether UNC had answered the letter. To use Napster, the program must be downloaded onto a com- puter's hard drive. That allows the file sharing of Ml'3s, digital songs, between one user's hard drive and anyone else currently online. Some artists see Napster as a way to reach more people with their music, but others see it as a drain on their profits. King filed suit against Napster and three universities-Yale, the University of Southern California and Indiana University-for not blocking the service. After the suit was filed in April, the universities began restricting access to Napster. Neither Duke nor UNC has restricted any access to Napster. Both universities have started edu- cational campaigns to teach stu- dents that downloading copy- righted songs equals intellectual property theft. Betty Leydon, vice provost for information technology, said Duke's computer policy "talks about appropriate use of computing "It doesn't refer to things like Napster, which wasn't around" when it was written, she said. "We've tried to educate our students and remind them about copyright laws Unlike many universities, nei- ther Duke nor UNC-CH has had problems with Napster overwhelm- ing its computer networks because the MP3 files are so large. Duke upgraded its network to the Gigabit, which can handle 1 billion bits per second, up from about 100 megabits per second, Leydon said. Jeanne Smythe, director for computer policy at UNC-CH, said UNC-CH normally does not ban Web sites, but has begun educating students. Smythe and I.eydon said they are not sure that blocking Napster is the answer to this problem, because so many other computer programs that allow file-sharing are popping up, such as Gnutella. Blocking sites also degrades the entire network's performance because the network server has to look at every message going out, Smythe said. Napster also faces a court battle from the major record labels. The U.S. District Court for the North- ern District of California issued a preliminary injunction against Napster that would have shut the service down. However, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals stayed the injunction pending an appeal to be heard in October. For people who cant see well, here are some things to look into.

Krayzelburg won the 100m back- stroke, an event he was heavily favored in. He set a new Olympic record with his time of 53.72. Meanwhile fellow American, Megan Quann took home gold in the women's 100m breaststroke. She defeated favorite and world record holder, Penny Heyns of South Africa. In perhaps the most stirring race of the day, heavy favorite, Australian Ian "Thorpedo" Thorpe took on Dutch swim- mer Pieter van den Hoogenband in the men's 100m freestyle. Van den Hoogenband broke Thorpe's world record in the preliminaries. The Dutchman tied the record in the finals as he narrowly defeated Thorpe, who took home the silver. American basketball teams sweep Sydney In what came as absolutely no surprise to anyone, the U.S. men's and women's basketball teams continue to dominate play in Sydney. The men, led by 21 points from Ray Allen cruised past China 119-72. The Americans got 16 points from Vince Carter, 12 by Steve Smith and Tim Hard- away and 11 from Vin Baker. The women improved to 2-0 as they completed the communist double, by defeating Cuba 90-61. The women were led by Katie Smith who was perfect from the field and finished with 15 points. Jeff Burton wins in New Hampshire On a track that claimed two lives this season, Jeff Burton showed no fear in win- ning, the Dura Lube 300, Sunday. Burton led every lap in the race as he won his second restictor plate race of the season. Burton won the Pepsi 400 earlier this year, also a restrictor plate race. Bobby LaBonte and Dale Earnhardt made it interesting, coming close to snatching the lead from Burton on many occasions. With the win, Burton jumped up two spots in the Winston Cup points race. He now trails only LaBonte by 168 points. Bruins jump to top 10 With wins over two teams ranked third in the nation, the UCLA Bruins jumped co No. 8 in the AP Poll this week. Following a 23-20 win over then No. 3 Michigan, the Bruins, who beat then No. 3 Alabama earlier this year, enter the top 10 for the first time in "H over a year. Nebraska remained at the top spot followed by Florida State. Florida moved up to third in front of Virginia Tech. Kansas State rounded out the top five at the fifth spot.

SPORTS The East Carolinian 5 sports@tec.ecu.edu Pirates rebound to stop Green Wave PIRATES - 37 TULANE -17 Offense switches gears to key second half outburst Stephen Schramm SPORTS miTOR In the off week they had prior to facing the Pirates and in the year since the two learns last met, the Green Wave moved well beyond the pass-happy offense and suspect defense of last season. The improved Tulane team had F.CU frustrated for two quarters Saturday. The result was the same as the Pirates blew past the Green Wave in the second half, winning 37-17. "They had a week to prepare for us said ECU defensive lineman Devotie Claybrooks. "Coach Rose (Defensive Coordinator, Tim Rose) said they were going to come out with some new wrinkles so be surprised In the first half, those wrinkles, on both sides of the ball, put the ECU defense on their heels and led to a 14-13 Tulane lead at halftime. "They ran the ball a lot Claybrooks said. "We weren't prepare for that in the first half In the first two quarters, the Green Wave piled up 169 yards on the ground, lailback Mewelde Moore ended the half with 115 yards, while quarterback J.l Losman had 32. Losman, started in place of injured junior Patrick Ramsey, the freshman gave the Pirate defense fits early with his mobility. He ended the afternoon with 299 yards and two touchdowns passing and 40 yards on the ground. "He's a very elusive quarterback said ECU line- backer Pemell Griffin. "He's going to be very good in the future. J.P. is very agile. He has a good arm and he scrambles well Losman got the Tulane offense moving early. In the first quarter, he led the Green Wave on a 13-play scoring drive that culminated in a touchdown pass to Kerwin Cook. On offense, the Pirates began slowly as the Green Wave defense worked in their new wrinkles. "They did not play much man coverage against Ole Miss, which is the only film we had said ECU Head Coach Steve Logan. "Suddenly all we saw was man-to-man coverage. So some of the times he was missing, our receivers were running against a zone type coverage, when in fact they should have kept moving The new coverage kept the ECU passing attack grounded as quarterbacks David Garrard and Richard Alston combined to go .Vfor-20 for only 51 yards. "There was a feeling out process early on with what they were doing on defense Logan said. "It suggested that we throw deep ball and run the option and that's about it Garrard and the Pirates answered Losman's drive with a 10 play drive that ended with a Garrard touchdown run around the left side to tie the game at seven all with 12:16 left in the second quarter. Not to be outdone, Losman found Adrian Burnette in the back of the end zone with 4:11 left in the quarter to put Tulane up 14-7. Left: The ECU defense held Tulane quarterback, J.P. Losman, to only eight yards rushing in the second half, (photos by Ryan Bradshaw) Above: ECU'S Kevin Miller rebounded from a missed extra point in the first half to hit his next three PATs as well as a 21-yard field goal. The Pirates answered with a Garrard option play to Leonard Henry that covered 20 yards and gave the Pirates their second score. Kevin Miller missed the extra point and ECU went into the half down one. In the second half, the ECU defense kept the Green Wave offense from doing more damage. "We really had to come out (and) redeem ourselves because no team has just come out of the blocks and just scored points on our defense and we really pride ourselves on that said nose guard Mbayo Ahmadu. "We just knew we had to make a lot of changes and shut them down in the second half "Hirst half we came out sluggish Griffin said. "In the second half we wanted to come out and make a statement that we are a good football team The defense proved their point, holding the Green Wave to just three points and 19 yards rushing. 'Ihe offense opened up as well. Taking what the Tulane defense was giving them, the Pirates scored 24 points and racked up 201 yards passing. "They were playing a nine man front and man to man coverage Logan said. "That's all there was to it. They came in the game and said 'your not going to run the football That left us with throwing the ball deep, which we did well, and running the option and that's it. We ran the option see CR??N WAVE pg. 6 irate Notes Wilson, Harris week off get Volleyball team holds own in Maryland Two tournaments won, one lost Mil ITS Conspicuously absent from Saturday's 37-17 victory over Tulane, were running back Jamie Wilson and halfback Marcellus Harris. Both took the week off to get over some nagging injuries. Wilson sat out with an abdominal strain and Harris was sidelined with an injured thumb. "We get into a cycle of 'I can't practice Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday I think I can practice a little bit Thursday, I feel pretty good Friday, now I'm going to play said Head Coach Steve Logan. "Then they get stung in the game and it starts over again. So we gambled and held both those men out. They could have played but we're just trying to break that cycle and get them to where they can practice full speed Special teams improve Following the loss to Virginia Tech last week, a lot of fingers were pointed at ECU'S special teams. Versus Tulane, the squad performed better. However, they were not perfect. "Our special teams were very good today" said Head Coach Steve Logan. "1 was disappointed in Kevin Miller. He flat missed a PAT which is uncharacteristic of him. But maybe we'll flush all of this stuff out of our system The ECU punt team played well above their showing against the Hokies. Freshman punter Wes Helocker kicked well and long snapper Ryan Luckadoo rebounded from Thursday night. Following one punt, Luckadoo hustled downfield to down the kick Inside the Green Wave 2-yard line. "Our punt team was excellent Logan said. "We had an excellent punt team today. We covered well, we snapped well. 1 was proud of them Stokes bad luck continues Kick returner Keith Stokes began the game with a familiar sight. The senior took the opening kickoff 96 yards to score the games first touchdown. Or so everyone thought. Much like last year, when Stokes had three kicks called back, this one would not stand. The referee called Stokes out at the Tulane 45-yard line. "You've just got to put it behind you and try to run the next one back Stokes said. Full bleachers Maybe it was Tulane. Maybe it was the weather. Whatever it was that drew Pirate fans to the game Saturday, it worked. The 38,517 fans that packed Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium, made a larger-than-usual crowd for a C-USA game. "I was tickled said Head Coach Steve Logan. "I walked out and did my usual glance to see what it looked like and saw lots and lots of folks. I think, and 1 do hope, that our people, our constituency, are getting clued in to conference football. Conference football games are meaningful. They were doing the right things. Our fans were outstanding on third down, getting our defense fired up. There were a lot of them out there too. That is a very gratifying feeling for our players and our coaches Must-win game? While the date with Tulane may not have drawn much attention from casual fans, the ECU coaching staff put much stock into getting a win in the conference opener. "We circled two games on our schedule that we had to win this year said Head Coach Steve Logan. "Duke and of course Tulane, being your first conference game. You want to win your opener and your want to beat anybody In the Carolines, you certainly want to win you conference opener Ryan Downey SENIOR WRITER Another out of state tournament, another 2-1 record and another set of two Pirates selected to the all tournament team. Thus far, the ECU volleyball squad has performed well at the handful of tournaments they have attended. This weekend, the Pirates competed in the Maryland Invitational and were able to churn out two big wins before getting knocked off by the host team, Maryland. "I think we really stepped it up this weekend. We improve in every tournament, it took us to the next level said sophomore Mandi Orban. Senior Cinta Claro continued her strong early season play being named to the all tournament team along with junior Whitney Brawner. Their performances as well as the rest of the llrates, keyed another successful tournament run that allowed the Pirates to extend their winning streak to five matches before the loss to the Terrpins. The Pirates' record now stands at 7-3 after going 2-1 at three consecutive tournaments. "I was thoroughly impressed with our performance as a team said senior Luanda Mason. "We took care of business and got the job done. Even though we lost to Maryland, they are a wonderful team and we stuck with them the whole time Tournaments such as this one are designed to let teams know where they stand as far as their skills going in to regular season games, and it looks like the Pirates have found out a lot about themselves in the past few weeks. "We came out against William 6r Mary and played a solid match and controlled the nets well while playing together as a team said first-year Head Coach Colleen Farrell. "Against Maryland, we came out flat and we really didn't look ready to play. Maryland is a good team, but we were tentative and they took advantage 6 The East Carolinian www.theeastcarolinian.com SPORTS Tuesday, September 19, 2000 sports@tec.ecu.edu GREEN WAVE very well. So it was nice to have that diversity in our offense to have places to go to get some answers. It just takes a while to get the answers, that's the problem. We did finally get there In addition to throwing deep, the Pirates also found success run- ning the option. Garrard and Alston finished the day with 164 yards on the ground. "They were blitzing a lot and playing man to man. But once we found out that they were soft with the option, we just started exploiting that In the third quarter, the Pirates began their scoring with a Miller 21-yard field goal. Later in the quarter, facing a fourth-and-one on their own 46-yard line, ECU gambled. With the punt team out On the CONTINUED FROM PC. 5 field, I-ogan called for a timeout to ask for a measurement. "We were going to punt the football, until 1 went down to the referees and asked them to measure it so I could see what we were deal- ing with Logan said. "It was really only about six inches Garrard took the snap and dove forward. "We made it by six inches and one quarter Logan said. "It was big said offensive line- man Sherwin l.acewell. "It was really big for us to do it. We had asked to do it The conversion took the wind out of the Tulane sails and gave the Pirates a boost. With the drive given new life, Garrard hooked up with split end Arnie Powell for a touchdown pass that covered 41 yards, putting ECU on top 23-14. In the fourth quarter, Garrard threw another long scoring pass, this one to Torey Morris, who fought off a would-be tackier at the 18-yard line and easily ran into the end zone. After a Tulane field goal, the Pirates scored again, when Alston led a drive that covered 72 yards and ended with a 26 yard pass to Derrick Collier. The touchdown put the Pirates ahead 37-17 and secured ECU's first C-USA win of the season. "I'm going to tell you what Logan said. "Just buckle your seat belt, because this Conference USA thing is tough. There's going to be good football teams up and down the road here.

The two teammates finished 19th and 20th in the field, with Will turning in a time of 24:32, and England just behind him with a 24:41. "Our team is good this year said senior Justin England.

Take UCLA, a 4-7 team a year ago and overlooked in the pre- season polls. After beating a No. 4-ranked team for the second time in three games?a 23-20 win over Michigan?the Bruins catapulted to No. 6 in this Week's Al media poll. And coach Bob Toledo declared his team is back to top-notch status. "This is a five-star game, this game was for the program Ibledo said after backup Ryan k( ami threw for 236 yards and two IDs against the Wolverines. "If we are going to be among the elite teams in the country, we had to make a statement today. I think we made that statement McCann made his statement. "I think we proved we were the No. 1 team in the nation he said. "1 don't know who else we can beat, or what else we can do At this early juncture, who's going to argue? The lop 25 under- went a major reshuffling, with lexas, Tennessee I'urdue and Ala- bama joining Michigan as the big losers. Stanford beat Texas 27-24 and the l.onghorns plummeted 10spots to No. 15; Tennessee fell two places to No. 13 after a final-seconds 27-23 loss to Florida. Purdue lost to Notre Dame 23-21 on a last-play tield goal and fell eight spots to No. 21; and Alabama was outplayed by Southern Mississippi 21-0 and tumbled out of the poll. Michigan dropped seven spots to No. 10. The results left fans wondering what to make of the 2000 season. For now, we know this: ?The Pac-10 is back, led by, UCLA, which started the season unranked. Washington and USC are in the top 10, too. Next up for. the Bruins? At Oregon, which has a 16-game home winning streak. ?Alabama still isn't ready to; challenge for a national title, no, less defend its SEC West crown. ?Perm State is worse than any- body thought. South Carolina is better than anybody thought and Notre Dame is playing with a pas- sion that's been missing for years. ?Virginia lech isn't a one-year wonder. ?Tennessee still can't beat Flor- ida. ?Nebraska and Florida State remain a solid 1-2 in the polls. There's more, such as Auburn, Iowa State, North Carolina State and Pittsburgh without a loss and Colorado, Army and Navy without a win. Then again, it's a little early to judge which way these teams will go. The Pac-10 is 16-4 in non-con- ference games, with UCLA, Wash- ington and USC all undefeated and owners of a bunch of big-time victories. In addition to their win over Michigan, the Bruins (3-0) beat then-No. 3 Alabama on Sept. 2 the Huskies won at Colorado 17-14 a week after beating then-No. S Miami 34-29; and the Trojans, idle Saturday, have wins over Penn State and (Colorado.
