Jones Melyssa Ojeda EDITOR IN CHIEF Actor and National Rifle Association President Charlton Heston spoke to supporters at a fundraiser held for Rep. Walter Jones at the Greenville Museum of Art Friday. "I am so appreciative that you are with us, and I am so appreciative that Charlton Heston is with us Jones said to the crowd of 500 sup- porters, many of whom paid $75-$ 125 to be pho- tographed with Heston and Jones. Jones, who is the cur- rent Republican incum- bent for the 3rd Congres- sional District in North Carolina, was elected to the U.S. House of Repre- sentatives in 1994 after serving 10 years as an elected member of the North Carolina General Assembly. One of the issues both Heston and Jones discussed at the fundraiser was the free- dom to bear arms. "This election is about freedom Jones said. "If we lose the House and Gore becomes the presi- dent, the first things the Democrats will go after will be your hand guns Jones made a point to also address the rights of the Boy Scouts of Amer- ica, whose charter has been put into question by Democrats by its refusal to allow gays to become scouts or leaders. "How sad it is in this country that Boy Scouts are being threat- ened because they've made a decision that they want a Scout leader who is morally straight, like a Scout professes to be. That they do not want some gay scout master Jones also addressed the need to reduce exces- sive taxation and increase restorations to the cur- rent U.S. military. He also emphasized the impor- tance of voter participa- tion this election year. "Please do not let your friends sit at home on election day in Novem- ber of this year Jones said. "Because the conse- quences of not participat- ing in the electoral process could mean the future will be that you have a party that will challenge your constitutional rights instead of electing a party that will assure your con- stitutional rights Heston, who was mar- ried in North Carolina and spent time training for World War II during his Above: Jones speaks about the need for greater voter participation to his supporters. Left: Charlton Heston traveled to North Carolina to address a crowd of 500 in support of Jones, (photos by John Stowe) youth, asked the audience to ignore all distractions surrounding the election and to concentrate on voting for the sakeof free- dom. "Forget the slogans, the sound bytes; forget all the clamor and chatter that distracts from the singular truth Thatj this year, we must forget it all and vote freedom first Heston said. Heston compared the early United States colo- nists in 1,776 to today's constituency and stressed the need for more partici- pation. "The colonists forgot it all-all of it-except free- dom, and thank God they did Heston said. "Unlike those colonists, today only some fraction of all those eligible Americans even register to vote, and only a smaller fraction of them actually do vote. By being here and support- ing your fine Congress- man, you stand as the equivalents of America's revolutionary heroes Heston made one light observation about the cur- rent administration before departing for Charlotte to appear at a campaign for Republican Rep. Robin Hayes. "The current admin- istration in many ways reminds me of Tfie Wizard ofOz Heston said. "It's easy to point out that the president is the Wizard But I can't think of which of the White House staff see Heston page 3 LCiSjil llcirVCy MCJN3iryi 3rd District of N.C.

The incidents were reported between Aug. 13 and Sept. 5, 2000. Females walking in areas near campus between the hours of 8 p.m. and 2 p.m. reported the assaults. All victims describe the man as a white male, foot-eight-inches to six- foot in height, medium build with short brown hair. Three of the reports indicate facial hair such as a mustache or a beard. TWo of the reports indicate he was wearing glasses. He is estimated to be between 20 and 30 years of age. The suspect is known to approach a female walking alone and asks for directions or gives com- plements. He then grabs them in a sexual area. Two victims' reports indicate the man was driv- ing a white, Ford truck at the time of the assaults. In both instances the man reached out of the window and grabbed the victims as they walked by him. Two other victims report he was walking and grabbed the victims as he approached them. During on assault the man grabbed the female by her bookbag and dragged her a few feet down the road. "It happens at times in the evening said junior Karen Peaden, who was assaulted by the grab- ber. "An officer actually warned me about the inci- dents occurring one night as I was walking home from a night class This case is still under investigation. The GPD says it is doing everything it can to find the suspect. Females are advised not to walk alone in the evening and if the suspect does confront them, to take down the license plate number and inform the Greenville Police Depart- ment immediately. "Everybody needs to take precaution said Amy Clark, Greenville police detective. "The big- gest emphasis we can say is not to walk alone at night and keep an eye out for him. A license plate number is something that is easily forgotten Anyone who has infor- mation about this man, or who has been approached by him, should contact the Green- ville Police Department at 329-4300, PittGreenville CrimeStoppers or Detec- tive Clark at 329-4133.

(U-WIRE)-A $316,000 Defense Department grant has been awarded Fayetteville State University to find out why black men avoid prostate cancer screenings. Maxwell Twum, an assistant psychology professor, will conduct the study over three years under a grant program that targets historically black colleges. Although black men older than 60 are the group at greatest risk for prostate cancer, Twum said, they avoid screening for the disease. "Some say they are afraid it will hurt them Twum said. "There are some who are not willing because of finances Twum will interview black men in Fayetteville about their attitudes toward prostate cancer screening. He wants to find out what prevents them from going to the doctor to have the exams done. He will call the men back for an educational program about prostate cancer screening and interview them again to see if greater knowledge changed their opinions.

BALTIMORE (U-WIRE)-The Johns Hopkins University is seeking to intervene In a lawsuit filed by animal rights groups that seek regulatory changes which officials fear would force researchers using laboratory rats and mice to keep individual government records on them. University officials say that would cost millions of dollars. The record keeping is "relatively easy for small populations of monkeys or dogs said Hopkins spokesman Dennis O'Shea. "But it's harder when you're talking about thousands and thousands of mice O'Shea said 468 faculty members at Hopkins use 42,000 mice, 3,000 rats and 300 birds in their research. The university also Is investing $30 million in a facility designed to breed and maintain up to 140,000 mice and rats. Creating a government paper trail for each animal would add several million dollars a year in maintenance costs, O'Shea said. The humane care of the lab animals is regulated under rules imposed by the U.S. Public Health Service, he said. If Hopkins succeeds in its bid, the university would gain a voice in the U.S. District Court case in Washington, and a chance to influence any attempt by the Department of Agriculture to settle out of court. The lawsuit was filed last year by the Alternatives Research and Development Foundation, a consortium of animal rights groups based in Minnesota. Agriculture Secretary Dan Glickman was named as the defendant. "The animal rights groups' true motive in this case is to halt all animal-based research in the United States, with total disregard to the human consequences said F.stelle Fishbein, Hopkins' vice president and general counsel. The animal rights group petitioned the agriculture department in 1998 for a change in regulations which exempt laboratory rats, mice and birds from regulation by the department under the Animal Welfare Act. However, USDA record keeping for individual animals is required for larger laboratory animals, including primates, cats, dogs, guinea pigs, hamsters, rabbits and dogs. In March 1999, the case went before U.S. District Judge Ellen Segal Huvelle. I.ast month, the National Association for Biomedical Research, a consortium of research institutions, petitioned the court to be added as a defendant In the case. Then, animal rights groups and the Department of Agriculture won a 30-day stay in the case. That, according to Hopkins, was a bid to seek an out-of-court settlement without the research association's involvement. The stay expires at the close of business Monday. Hopkins decided Friday to try to intervene before any settlement can be presented to the court. "Johns Hopkins will not sit idly by and watch this happen Fishbein said. WASHINGTON, D.C. (TMS)- The U.S. Department of Education has made crime statistics for more than 600 colleges and universities available on the Internet. The department is still waiting on more than 6,000 institutions to report their statistics, which will be posted as they are received. The goal is for parents and stu- dents to easily review crime statis- tics. Institutions have until October 17 to report statistics for their campuses. "Safety is certainly a concern for parents and students in select- ing a college U.S. Secretary of Education Richard W. Riley said in a statement. "This is the next step in making such information readily available The department has made the statistics available since the pass- ing of the 1998 Higher Education Amendments required it to do so. The statistics are available at http:ope.ed.govsecurity. Statistics posted include crim- inal homicide, manslaughter, sex offenses, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, car theft, arson and hate crimes. University systems are required to report separate statistics for each campus and publish where each crime occurred. Statistics also must include arrests for possession of illegal weapons, drugs and liquor. from Heston page 1 would be the Scarecrow, who has no brains, or the Tin Man who has no heart, or the Cowardly Lion who has no courage You also have to realize they talk in The Wizard of Oz about a witch, but I don't know who that would be For more information on the accomplishments of Walter Jones, visit campaign.votenet.com WalterJones.

He orders the eldest hewn to appease the Roman dead. He declines the proffered emperors crown, nominating Saturninus, the last ruler's venal son. Saturninus, to spite his brother Bassianus, demands the hand of Lavinia, Titus's daughter. When Bassianus, Lavinia, and Titus's sons flee in protest, Titus stands against them and slays one of his own. Saturninus marries the honey-tongued Tamora, who vows vengeance against Titus. The ensuing maelstrom serves up tongues, hands, rape, adultery, racism, and Goth-meat pie.

As a citizen of the United States, a res- ident of North Carolina and a member of ECU, it is your duty to participate. OUR VIEW This year's upcoming election is filled with many issues at the national, state and local level that we should all pay close attention to. The race to become president has, once again, gotten down and dirty. Vice President Al Core and Cov. George W. Bush have brought their plan for education, technology, health care, social security, guns, abortion and of course, taxes to the platform. Education is not all about college. Primary and secondary schools are in desperate need of reform, and if something is not done about it soon, our future children will rank far below today's lack expectations. Humans continue to embrace the e-world and we cannot be left behind; technology is changing the economy and we need to understand and manipulate it to fit our needs. Keep in mind that the next president will be able to appoint another Supreme Court justice. That person's rulings on the law will affect your rights. At the state level, governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general are only a few of the positions up of grabs during this election. How will the new governor of North Carolina affect you? One of the issues that hits closest to home is the UNC bond referendum. We at TEC suggest you vote in favor of the referendum, that is unless you enjoy detouring around the construction site of the new Science and Technology Building. The money ECU expects to gain will go toward bettering the campus. This money will be used to purchase land to house our ever-growing student body and to create classroom space-think of how crowded your last science class was. There are only 41 more days until the 2000 election. As a citizen of the United States, a resident of North Carolina and a member of ECU, it is your duty to participate. Let your voice be heard and stop letting other people make decisions for you. On Nov. 7 be sure to cast your vote. QoH&tUaH (loltitiAal IN MY OPINION Nader proves best for presidency The Daily Cougar (U. Houston)-In this election, I am voting for Ralph Nader. In the last campaign, Nader spent $55,000 and received 800,000 votes, which represents about 1 percent of the total votes. This is an impressive result considering that Nader was not on the ballot in most states and only campaigned part- time. This time, Nader is campaign- ing in all 50 states. Nader is not running on in intense ideological platform. George Bush is not ideologically driven either, but he seeks to increase the influence of businesses an government. Nader simply seeks to make democracy more open to the non-wealthy people (the majority of Americans). Nader wants to heal the dem- acratic system and make sure it stands against possible future threats. To do so, Nader encourages people to feel that one's status is a citizen is as important as ane's status as a family member �it employee. Nader would like to see each person devote about 10 hours a month toward civic involvement. Nader outlines his approach to governance in his concord prin- ciples: 1. Government should encour- age citizens to organize into watch- dog groups, facilitate the flow of information to these groups and ease communication among them. 2. Citizens should be trusted with reasonable control of publicly owned resources, such as airwaves, federal and state lands. 3. Citizens should have the power to limit the convergence of government and industry. 4. Laws are needed to protect whistle-blowers, people who inform the public of government and industrial fraud, environmental disaster and abuse of power. 5. Students need to learn their civic responsibilities. Democratic principles should be presented in their historical context and present relevance. A well-educated student body would serve as a reservoir against threats to democratic values in the future. Nader is now responsible for many improvements in our lives, from consumer protection laws and safer vehicles to a more open and responsible government. If Nader Is elected president, his accomplishments will guarantee that he will be remembered as an active reformer of government and industry corruption. Nader will work to strengthen labor and workplace safety laws. He will also crack down on corporate welfare and corporate crime. Nader not only has more experi- ence than other candidates in fight- ing corruption, but he is also free to act on his convictions because he is not indebted to anyone. Nader has relied mostly on volunteers and small donations to drive his candidacy. He has neither big- name advisors nor large corporate sponsors. He will be free to fight the con- vergence of big government and big businesses that no longer need nor want the input of the majority of the public. Brandon. Aiemeye IN MY OPINION Gay rights are also human rights Daily Mississippian (U. Mississippi)-While I am not gay, I feel truly disgusted when fellow Americans are not allowed to snjoy some freedoms and privileges simply because of their sexual srientation. Both discrimination against and hatred of homosexuals are common in America today. Privileges denied to gays include things we often take for granted such as donating blood, adopting :hildren, marrying and even serv- ing in the military. One such discrimination bans gays and lesbians from adopting children, becoming foster parents ar receiving custody rights. All the while, thousands of American children live without a permanent home. One argument that attempts to bar gays and lesbians from becom- ing foster parents is that they do not maintain stable relationships. Like heterosexuals, gays and lesbians are often in committed relationships, of course, these relationships have problems, but all relationships do. The adoption process Is a very rigorous process that include in- depth interviews and home visits, designed to root out those who are not qualified to take care of a child. There is no proof to say that gays or lesbians are not able to create a loving, nurturing environment for their children. Good parenting is based on that environment, not sexual orientation. Another discrimination that recently came to light was the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) decision to not ease the ban on gay men donating blood. In times when our national blood level has dipped at times to below critical, we are keeping people from donating blood. The FDA cites concerns that evidence wasn't conclusive about how the HIV rate in blood banks would be affected. All donated blood goes through a test for the AIDS virus, and AIDS is not carried by just gay men. It is a disease that affects everyone. One other type of discrimina- tion against gays and lesbians exists in the U.S. armed forces and the "don't ask, don't tell" policy. This policy forbids openly gay men and women from serving in the military, and if it is discovered that a soldier or sailor is gay, he or she is given a dishonorable discharge. When I think of dishonor in the military, I think of such people as Benedict Arnold. Many have argued against this, saying an openly gay person in the army would ruin morale and cause other discipline problems. However, such concerns could be erased if they could see that homosexuals are different from heterosexuals in only one way. Perhaps the worst discrimina- tion, and the one that affects most gays and lesbians, is the ban in most states on gay marriages or even civil unions. Marriage is not simply a reli- gious service that unites a man and a woman, it is a legal recognition of a relationship. When denying the rights for gays and lesbians to marry, homosexuals are denied basic, simple dignities like obtain- ing joint health, home insurance, filing joint tax returns or taking sick leave to care for a partner or partner's child. Even more tragic is that with- out the benefits of a legal union, lesbians and gays are denied the right to make medical decisions on behalf of a partner, choose a final resting place on behalf of a deceased partner, determine child custody, obtain Veteran's discounts or even visit a partner or a partner's child in a hospital. To have discrimination exist in our country is to not allow American citizens basic ideals of equality and liberty. Gay rights are human rights, and nothing should bar us from denying fellow humans these rights. r-xm BtioHbaaU IN MY OPINION fTTTTTHTTTTTm Democratic Issue: Health Care Tufts Daily (Tufts U.)-PTosperity. Many would agree that the United States is currently experiencing a time of prosperity. But, what is prosperity? Our dear friend Mr. Webster tells us that to prosper is "to fare well" or "to cause to thrive I would certainly agree that a large number of Americans are "faring better" or "thriving" more so than they were 10 years ago. Yet, a large number of Ameri- cans are not prospering at all. What does a country do to improve In a time of prosperity? Do we allow the rich to get richer and the poor to stay the same? It is at these times of prosperity that the less wealthy in this country get a chance to catch up with their fellow Americans and join in their prosperity. In this presidential election, there are two opinions on what to do in this time of prosperity. The Republican candidate, George W. Bush, seems to be borrowing from the economic theory know as Reaganomics, by proposing a tax cut for those in the top income bracket. Like Reagan, Bush believes that allowing the wealthy to keep more of their income will, in turn, transfer money into the U.S. econ- omy. As history has shown, this is practical in theory alone. During the 1980s, when this type of policy was implemented, the rich got richer and the poor got poorer. Not only that, the tax cut instituted by Reagan is the major reason why our national debt accumulated to what it is today. So, here we are, faced with a large national debt and a distinct class of poor citizens in a time of prosperity. Do we do as the conservatives will have us and let the wealthy keep more of their money? I say no. Instead, let's let those who do not earn that much money keep more of their incomes, so they may provide for their families, send their children to college and improve their quality of life. In doing this, we do not make the higher income families in America any less wealthy. They will continue to be wealthy, and, in my judgment, have no obstacle in their way of becoming wealthier. As for the national debt, why hang on to it? Debt does not give America its charm. Debt is not something we hang on to so Alan Greenspan has something to do. Debt is a problem that we now have a chance to solve in some degTee. It is time to pay for the mistakes made in previous presidential terms. If it is not paid now, it will only be an even larger debt for our generation to pay when we become taxpayers. These are the policies of our Democratic candidate Gore. He wants to continue the prosperity that he helped create during his two terms as vice president. He wants to lessen the load of our national debt, so the citizens of future generations will not have to pay for it. He wants to give every American a chance to prosper at a time when it is entirely possible. He wants to allow students from all economic backgrounds to attend any college to which he or she is accepted. In checking his track record as a congressman, senator and as the vice president, it is evident that Gore puts in all his effort to get what he wants. The most poignant example of this is Gore's work on protecting our environment. In other words, I believe that these are not hollow liberal propos- als that Gore has set out in his campaign. I am confident that he will do as he says. And continuing prosperity is not all that Gore wants. If you visit www.algore2000.com, you can see what else your vice president wants to and will do as president. For this issue of prosperity and many others in this election, it is obvious to me that the Democratic ticket has a stronger and more appropriate policy. joncMuut Pele IN MY OPINION Issue: Health Care Tufts Daily (Tufts U.)-This year's presidential contest promises to pit two competing ideologies against each other. On the one hand is Al Gore and the liberal philosophy of big government, which would have us believe that government knows best and if you surrender just a little of your power and a little bit of your money to Gore and his associates, you will be rewarded with a series of benefits (all at no cost) from universal health care to the halting of urban sprawl. On the other side of the coin is George W. Bush, a man who offers a decidedly different ideology. Bush promises a smaller, less-intrusive government that allows individuals to make decisions on their own, but that also expects them to behave more responsibly and do more for themselves. This coming election will also be about policy issues. A vote for Gore is essentially a vote for a continuation of the Clinton social programs. Despite Gore's newfound earth tones and alpha-male status, nearly all of his proposed programs are repackaged Clinton programs. He offers nothing original. Bush, by contrast, has, whether you agree with him or not, placed a number of bold, new initiatives on the table. His ideas about school choice and the partial privatization of Social Security represent a desire to change the basic structure of American social programs that are failing or that will fail in the foreseeable future. And the future is what this election will truly be about. The decisions that presidents make today will have repercussions last- ing years beyond their tenure in office. For those of you leaning toward voting for Gore, 1 urge you to take a look at how the future promises to shape up under his leadership versus Bush's. At first glance, Gore is a tempt- ing man to vote for. He offers a wide range of benefits (such as universal health care), all with apparently no cost to anyone. But like everything else in life, Gore's programs have to be paid for somehow. As is usually always the case with government programs, they will be paid by tax dollars, yours and mine. In general, Gore presents a Norman Rockwell picture of what life could be like if you just trust the government to make all your decisions. In Gore's world, government is your parents, and there is no problem it cannot solve. Bush, by contrast, does not offer such a rosy picture of govern- titttitiit: Republican View ment or its benevolence. What he does offer is reality. Instead of promising that the government will solve all your problems, Bush says that you need to solve your own problems; the government will help, but only if you work too. Bush and his staff want to see an America where people rely on themselves, not somebody else, to accomplish things. His policy calls for tax cuts, school choice and the partial privatization of Social Security, all programs which place responsibility with individuals, not the government. While his type of government may seem harsh at first, it is by far the more responsible of the two. Gore will promise to make you smarter, richer, run faster or anything else in order to get elected. He will try to trade you a few social programs for a lot of your liberty. In the end, however, he will simply continue the same old Clinton social programs, which have not fixed Social Security, health care or schools. Bush may not have all the answers, but he is willing to try something different, something that does not involve government. And that is what we need.

Play by the rules you've been taught, and the wise moves will become obvious. Aries (March 21-April 19) Your job is demanding. A new skill you're learning, or a tool you're using, isn't working yet. Your partner is in the mood to argue. Taurus (April 20-May 20) Your mind may be on romance, but it ought to be on business. Let your supervisor have the benefit of your advice, get some- thing in return. Gemini (May 21-June 21) Proceed with caution. The outcome seems positive if you follow through with a plan that's already underway. The worst should be over. Cancer (June 22-july 22) A recent windfall could mean money in the bank for you. Move on a real estate investment or a purchase for your home, too. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) You're apt to buy books that will help you learn new skills and that could save you more money. Hint: Try how-to books. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You're forceful, dynamic and darned good-looking! You may even figure out the answer to a problem that's had you stymied Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Stop worrying and keep sorting and filing. The more you get done, the better you look. Tomorrow should be lots of fun. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You're getting luckier, although it may not be noticeable yet. You're getting smarter, too. Let your friends know what you need, for starters. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) The burden may seem almost too much to bear. Complaining to friends and thinking about making a break for it are not good ideas. Capricorn (Dec. 22-jan. 19) Far horizons beckon, and you might be in the mood to take a risk. You're making too much money to take time off, however. Aquarius (an. 20-Feb. 18) Finish work you've started. Pay attention to the details, too. Something you overlook could come back and bite you later. Pisces (Feb. 19-March20) You may find another way to achieve a dream. Having your fantasies turn Into reality is always exciting.

According lo Dr. Thomas DeBeck of the Student Health Center, students typically do not get enough sleep. He recommends getting seven to eight hours of sleep a night, (photo by John Stowe) Sleep deprivation affects performance, can be dangerous Jason Cox STAFF WRITER you "Put on your coat before you go outside "Always wear clean underwear "You need a good nights rest to be your best These are all things that our mothers preached to us growing up, but studies show that mom was probably right, at least about one thing. Experimentation and research have shown that sleep plays a huge role in personal wellness. The amount of sleep you get at night could be a very large factor in your day-to-day routine and without enough sleep you can even be a fatal accident waiting to happen. "I usually get only five hours of sleep a night said sophomore Tali Robich. "1 have practice everyday at 5:30 in the morning and d.op't have time to take naps to catch up This loss of needed sleep, referred to as sleep debt, accumulates after each night of poor sleep habits. "People who do not get adequate amounts of sleep experience "microsleeps" during their conscious waking hours said Dr. Thomas deBeck, a sleep specialist at the ECU Student Health Center. "They are brief moments in which your body can not function or absorb information correctly. If you can imagine your brain as a tape recorder, snooze, you could lose microsleeps would occur when the player is playing but the record button is not pressed. You can (unction, but may not be able to take in and absorb information successfully DeBeck reports that most college students are in fact sleep deprived and can not concentrate as well as they should due to a lack of sleep. According to deBeck, lack of sleep can actually harm a student's grades, make them irritable and make them a threat to others. "1 have had many students who were extremely intelligent and capable, but received a lower GPA just because they didn't gel enough sleep lo concentrate in class and study on their own deBeck said. Students have been known to turn to alternative methods of staying awake. Sleep debt can be masked by- caffeine or other outside stimulants. These stimulants do not cure a loss of sleep; they are simply making I he body disregard its need for slumber. DeBeck points out that inadequate sleep can min a person's alertness, as well as short napping or caffeine can impair their ability to sleep at night. "Naps can help reduce sleepiness, but they are best when kept to a brief one or two hours after lunch time deBeck said. "Napping late in the afternoon or evening can hinder your ability to go to bed at a usual time and starts the horrible cycle ol sleep loss Junior Emily Cozzi also admits to not getting enough sleep.

I know that I am not getting enough sleep, and I seem to get really tired around noon each day said junior Kevin Hardy. "The afternoon sleepiness is natural, as humans have a down- time in the afternoon deBeck said. Gradual changes in bedtime, setting a routine and reducing caf- feine intake in the evenings are all ways to have a healthier sleep plan. Students who feel they are not getting enough sleep and can not seem to fix the problem with a healthier regimen are advised to seek medical consultation. Taking sleep pills or relieving sleepiness with caffeine is not acceptable. These remedies are not natural and usually only vail the problem few a short period. DeBeck recommends attempt- ing to sleep seven to eight hours for a period of three days in order to develop a healthy sleeping plan. This writer can be contacted at jcox9tec.ecu.edu.

It's �behind us now McNair saves the day Injured Tennessee Titans quarterback, Steve McNair, stepped in for replacement Neil O'DonneH to save the day in the Titans 23-20 win. After a sack that left O'Donnell dazed and bleeding from the lip, McNair entered the game, bruised sternum and all, with 2:35 remaining in the fourth quarter. McNair went three-for- three with a 18 yard touchdown pass to win the game with 1:25 left. Seniors gain revenge on 'Cuse Comeback win erases memories of '97 loss PIRATES - 34 SYRACUSE - 17 Stephen Schramm SPORTS EDITOR All last week, the entrance to the ECU practice field was adorned with pumpkins. Pumpkins laid out in large numbers on the grass, the numbers read 56-0, the score of the Syracuse win over the Pirates in 1997. Friday after practice, the Pirate players, led by the seniors that were on the 1997 team, smashed the pumpkins. On Saturday, they smashed the Syracuse Orangemen and their memories of the worst ECU loss in almost 20 years with a 34-17 win. "It's been a long time said senior running back Jamie Wilson. "They finally came and now it's over with The loss though four years old, served as motivation to the team in preparation for the game. "Before the game we have a little team meeting said senior halfback Marcellus Harris. "There are five of us that played in that game, it was the worst game we've ever been involved with. That gave us a reminder of that game and we just came out played harder In addition to getting the bad taste of the 1997 loss out of their mouths, the win also helped purge frustrations from this season's loss to fellow Big East member, Virginia Tech. "It's big because the last time we played on ESPN, we got embarrassed said senior defensive lineman Mbayo Ahmadu. "The last time we played Syracuse, we got embarrassed. It's just good to come out with a victory. We really redeemed ourselves and we just showed everyone in the nation what Pirate football is all about The win may have shown the true colors of Pirate football, but the Pirate defense left the Orangemen black and blue. After allowing the Orangemen to go 8-for-ll passing for 117 yards in the first half, the ECU defense clamped down in the second as Syracuse went 4-for-ll for 62 yards. The only place the Orangemen had much success moving the ball was on the ground. Junior tailback James Mungro was able to rush for 107 yards on the wet Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium turf. Meanwhile, teammate Dee Brown also rushed for 79 yards as the Orangemen amassed 273 yards on the ground. "To step up the way our kids did on defense today was incredible because t hey were pounding the devil out of us with that power running game said Head Coach Steve Logan. "They've got some big strong boys up front The power running attack resulted in the games first touchdown. After the two teams traded field goals, Syracuse began an eight play 63 yard drive that resulted in a Mungro touchdown to put the Orangemen up 10-3. On Syracuse's next drive, ECU safety Antwan Adams delivered a bone-jarring "During the week, before it was raining, I thought we would be able to throw deep But once it started raining, I thought we were going to rely more on the run. But we didn't. We called a couple of takeoffs that were there for us David Canard Quarterback, ECU Football hit to Syracuse receiver Maurice Jackson. The hit electrified the team and the crowd, resulting in a defensive stop and a blocked punt by ECU's Travis Heath. The punt rolled into the ECU end zone where freshman Terrance Copper dove on it resulting in FCU's first touchdown. I.ater in the quarter, as the Pirate defense held the Orangemen scoreless, ECU quarterback David Garrard connected with Harris on a pair long touchdown passes, 46 and 65 yards. "During the week, before it was raining, I thought we would (be able to throw deep) Garrard said. "But once it started raining,T thought we were going to rely more on the run. But we didn't. We called a couple of takeoffs and they were there for us Like the Tulane game, the long pass was there for the Pirates. Garrard and his receivers were able to get big gains at the expense of the Syracuse secondary. "Everybody was saying that my receivers wouldn't be as well as I have had in the past Garrard said. "But 1 thought, coming into this season that they would. They're stepping up every week. I knew this would happen, but I'm glad to have everyone see it now After a 21-point second quarter by the Pirates, the Orangemen responded by driving 71 yards for their second touchdown. Oee Brown found the end zone on a 3-yard run to give the Orangemen their final score of the afternoon. ECU kept the pressure on the Orangemen, getting points on a Kevin Miller field goal, his second of the day, with 1:56 left in the third quarter. Rashon Burns scored on a 3.3-yard pass with 10:22 left in the fourth quarter. While the long bombs helped to subdue the Orangemen, it was some stops by the Pirate defense on fourth down that finished Syracuse. "In the second half we came out and made some big defensive plays on fourth down Logan said. "I don't know if they could have gotten any bigger, those kind of things can make or break your season, or make or break your program. They are that big The defense stuffed Mungro on a fourth-and-one and forced quarterback Troy Nunes into throwing an Incompletion on a fouth-and-three.

Pirates pound Spartans Pirates one win from last season's total Pirates over Norfolk State, 15-1, 15-2, 15-3; 8-4 for season Ryan Downey SENIOR WRITER The ECU volleyball team opened their home season with an easy victory over Norfolk State Sunday at Minges Coliseum. The 15-1, 15-2,15-3 win gives the Pirates eight wins and four losses this season, which puts them one win away from last seasons win total, the Pirates were able to use all of their players in a very one sided contest. "We are pleased to get our first home win said Head Coach Colleen Farrell. We executed well and dominated the match. We were also able to utilize our depth. We were loose and ready to play, we were smiling and having fun, and that's "We didn't play down to their level and that was a problem last year Linda Mason Captain, ECU Volleyball what's important The Pirates got a great performance from senior Cinta Claro, who had eight kills getting the team off to a fast start in each of the contests. Junior Whitney Brawner added seven digs. Her gritty game play and efficient serving gave the Pirates an early edge in game one against the out- manned Spartans. "It's good to open with a win Brawner said. "This is the first time we played at home and we had to get the jitters out. They had a lot of injuries, but any time you can come out and play well, it is a positive One of coach Farrell's goals for the Pirates is for the team to think and act as a unit, and so passing is a key. Lisa Donoven, who led the team in assists with 17, set up teammates for multiple scoring opportunities. "We played well as a team and got our first home game jitters out of the way. We were all hitting good and passing well. We will have to get more focused for Campbell Donovan said. The Pirates stayed focused throughout the match never letting up long enough for the inexperienced Spartans. "I think we stepped up to the challenge said senior captain Lucinda Mason.

Anderson dropped back and sent a pass to receiver, Maurice Jackson. Before the junior could bring the ball in, ECU safety Antwan Adams hit Jackson, jarring the ball loose, making the pass fall incomplete. Adams' hit, as well as a pair of stops of fourth down, served to swing the momentum in the Pirates' favor as well as deflate the Orangemen and earn ECU it's third win of the season, 34-17. "That momentum thing it's real said Head Coach Steve Logan "Who hits hardest really does matter in football. Today we hit harder The play energized the Pirate defense as well the soaked Dowdy- Ficklen Stadium crowd. "Anytime you're at home and you can get the stadium to rocking around like that, it tends to build and thaf s exactly what took place there Logan said. "Long about that time everybody was about like me. Everybody's just trying to stay dry, and all of a sudden everybody realizes there is a football game going on Two plays later, ECU's Travis Heath blocked a Mike Schaffer punt, that Terrance Copper recovered in the end zone to knot the game at 10. Before the hit by Adams, the Orangemen had success against the Pirate defense. In the first quarter, Syracuse amassed 118 yards of total offense. A James Mugro 3-yard touchdown run on the second play of the second quarter, gave Syracuse a 10-3 lead. The score came at the end of an eight play, 63 yard drive that saw the Orangemen rushing game flex their muscle and silence the ECU crowd. If Adams' hit was the shot that gave the Pirates the upper hand, then it was the fourth-down stands in the fourth quarter that floored the Orangemen. Down 27-17, the Orangemen faced a fourth-and-one on the ECU 5-yard line. The Orangemen gave the ball to tailback James Mungro. This time it was Adam's, among a host of Pirate tacklers, who stuffed Mungro for a loss of one yard. "The fourth down plays were huge said defensive lineman Ty Hunt. "They were the turning points in the game. It was really when our defense bowed their back and showed them. They had a stronger offensive line and were smaller, but we showed them, were not pushovers. Everybody was flying to the ball. It was a great hit, a great stop After an ECU three-and-out, the Orangemen attempted another drive. After just three plays, they again faced a fourth down. This time, quarterback Troy Nunes' fourth-and-three pass to tailback Dee Brown fell incomplete, again the Pirate defense had held. "It was really big said defensive lineman Mbayo Ahamadu. "It really turned the whole thing around. We just stopped them. You could see that they were just deflated This writer can be contacted at sports@tececu.edu. Refuse to pay retail.

Council Travel counciltravcl.com 1-800-2COUNCN CHICAGO (AP)-Jerry Man- uel's eyes and instincts told him a year ago what others could not see. The Chicago White Sox were not far from being a contender. At a meeting with general manager Ron Schueler and owner Jerry Reinsdorf follow- ing two losing seasons, Manuel sought an opinion on where his team was. Then he gave one of his own. "I asked them, 'How close do you think we are?' They said, 'Well, X think we are about 2001 or 2002 All-Star break I said, 'OK Manuel said. "They said, 'Well, What do you think?' and I said, 'I think we are closer than that I think we are one or two pieces from being a very good team. I saw us as being competitive Manuel said. Maybe it's the wisdom Manuel has garnered from his years as a coach under Felipe Alou in Montreal or his experi- ence as a bench coach with the 1997 World Series champion Florida Marlins: The White Sox were ready to go to the next level. Quickly. They played well from the outset, took the AL Central lead in mid-April and clinched the division title with a week remaining. The White Sox left spring train- ing with a payroll of about $32 million and were tied with the Twins for the youngest team in the AL. They made their marketing slogan of "The Kids Can Play" come true, although it took a great come- back season from Frank Thomas and the addition of experienced players such as Cal Eldred, Jose Valentin and Herbert Perry. "Those players didn't just drop out of the sky. Schueler did a good job of putting it together Reins- dorf said. It's been just more than three years since their highly criticized "White Flag" trade, in which the White Sox sent three of their best pitchers to San Francisco for six prospects�even though there were still in a pennant race, just 3 12 games out. Now, the White Sox are back in the playoffs for the first time since 1993. "1 didn't boo Schu, I cheered him when he made that trade Reinsdorf said. "The people who criticized that trade were White Sox fans who just thought we were doing the wrong thing. Now, they can all realize that trade started us on the way Chicago moved into first place on April 19, several days before a bloody brawl with the Detroit Tigers. The White Sox scored the most runs in the majors and have been baseball's best 'road team. In June, they went to Cleveland and swept a three- game series from the five-time AL Central champions, then went to New York and won four straight over the Yankees, the two-time defending World Series champions. "That was probably our best stretch of baseball. We didn't just beat them, we basically dominated them at that time Manuel said, noting that both the Indians and Yankees were slowed by injuries. Pitching is a question mark for the White Sox now. Eldred and James Baldwin reached double figures in victories before getting hurt, and rookies Kip Wells and Jon Garland have pitched inconsistently. 2000-2001 SEASON Gypsy Book by Arthur Laurents Musk by JuleStyne Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim Ocroeit 5-io, MOO A Sense of Place By Lanford Wilson Ncvtmix 16-21,2000 Spring's Awakening By Frank Wedeklnd FtMUAKY 8-13, 20O1 A Doll's House By Henrlk Ibsen Ami s-10,2001 Dance 2001 Choreography by faculty and guest artists Ami 26-AUY1, 2001 EAST CAROLINA SEASON SUBSCRIPTIONS General Public $45 and $40 ECU FacultyStaff StudentYouth S30 and $25 Call 252-3286829 Monday-Friday, 10:00 a.m4:00 p.m for ticket information.
