According to police reports, Alston, 19, attempted to pay for a $9 meal with a $100 coun- terfeit bill at the Burger King drive-thru on 10th Street and Greenville Bou- levard at 11:30 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 2. The clerk, James Price, realized the bill was coun- terfeit and rejected it. Alston then handed Price a $20 bill and proceeded to leave the area without receiving his change, at which time Price notified the Greenville Police Department (GPD) and gave a description of Alston's vehicle and license plate number. Officers investigated until a search warrant could be issued for Alston's arrest. At approximately 5:51 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 3, officers arrested Alston after finding marijuana and drug paraphernalia inside his apartment. According to a report from The Daily Reflector, officers seized some com- puter equipment as well. Police reports from the GPD said otherwise. "No computer equip- ment was noted in the police report said Melissa Bartlert, of media relations at the GPD. Alston, a sophomore, has been officially sus- pended from playing foot- ball. "The decision has been made to suspend Richard indefinitely from this football team said Ath- letics Director Mike Ham- rick at a press conference Monday. "His future with this program will depend upon the outcome of his legal situation Hamrick and football Head Coach Steve Logan would not comment fur- ther on the incident, but Hamrick said he hoped Alston would continue attending classes at the university. "We're in Richard's corner, we're gonna try and provide him with as much help and support as we can, but until he gets his situation resolved he will not play football for ECU, however, our hope is that he will continue to practice with the team and he will continue to be a student at ECU If Alston, an account- ing major, is convicted of counterfeiting, a federal offense, the prospects for his success in the field of accounting look slim. Sophomore back-up quarterback Richard Alston (1) was recruited by the Pirates in the spring of 1998. His recent arrest has resulted in an indefinite suspension by the ECU athletic department. The Pirates will take on Houston in their last home game of the season at 12 p.m. this Saturday, (top photo by John Stowe; right photo from media relations) According to Dr. Douglas Schneider, an associate professor of accounting and CPA, an individual convicted of a federal offense would probably have great difficulty work- ing as an accountant. "There's no question that your career in accounting and other financial areas would be- ad versely affected Sch- neider said. Alston has served as backup for junior, starting quarterback David Gar- rard for two seasons and has played in every game so far this season. He graduated from Warren County High School in 1998 and was recruited by ECU that same year. Another incident involving a counterfeit bill occurred on Thursday, Nov. 2. At approximately 11:45 p.m, an ECU staff member reported to ECU police that a black male had passed a counterfeit $100 bill at the Galley dining area in Jones Resi- dence Hall on College Hill Drive. The ECU Police Department was unavail- able for comment regard- ing this incident at press time. Alston declined com- ment for this story. This writer can be contacted at editor@tec.ecu.edu. Golden Key International Honor Society to induct 4 year old Scholars unite to raise needed funds for abused child Nancy Kuck ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR The Golden Key Inter- national Honor Society will host an induction for new members at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 14 in Wright Auditorium. One special inductee will be David Cody Rinehart, a 4-year-old boy who is the victim of child abuse. On April 12, 1997, 15-month-old David was taken to Duke University Medical Center after being subjected to 10 days of child abuse by his mother Robin Noffsinger and her boyfriend, David Tripp Jr. David's injuries, which included a fractured arm, skull, spine, leg and ribs, puncture wounds, chemical blinding to the eyes, multiple bruises and severe burns to various body parts, left him in a coma for a couple of months. Medical personnel stated that the skull frac- ture David suffered was the equivalent to being thrown against a hard object at 50-60 miles per hour. "This is the worst case of child abuse in my remembrance said Ronald Hewett, Bruns- wick County Sheriff. "The investigation had to be conducted in a slow, methodical and accurate manner to assure that our case is solid and fair to everyone concerned Noffsinger and Tripp were sentenced to prison under a Class E felony. Noffsinger faces a maxi- mum punishment of 185 months in jail where Tripp faces charges of up to 93 months. "This is the most trau- matic abuse in North Car- olina history said State Sen. Hamilton. David's case alone instigated passage of N.C. Senate Bill 252, which is titled, "An act to pro- vide that child abuse causing extreme debilitat- ing injury is a Class C felony The bill was intro- duced by Hamilton and unofficially called the "Cody Rinehart Bill It was passed on July 20, 1999 and was put into effect in December 1999. A Class C felony will extend a prison sentence for anyone guilty of child abuse from the regular Class E felony of 15-74 months to a Class C felony of 44-210 months. At 4 years of age, David is left with spastic quad- riplegic cerebral palsy, seizure disorder, cortical blindness, diencephalic storms, gastroesophageal reflux, reactive airways disease and remains on multiple medications and tube feedings. In February 1998, Lori Stuart, an alumna of ECU, met David at a child care facility. After meet- ing with social workers, she began the process of adopting David. In May 2000, the adoption was finalized. David moved in with Stuart where he continues to receive medi- cal care. Stuart approached the Golden Key International Honor Society with the idea of a fundraiser for David in lieu of his medi- cal costs. In response to this request, Golden Key decided to adopt David indirectly to increase the quality of his care. "The Little David Fund" was started and sponsored by Golden Key. The organization has raised $3,199 thus far through various dona- tions and fundraisers. "We are trying to raise money financially because that is where we are lack- ing said Chris Hill, presi- dent of Golden Key. "He's got a lot of love in that house. The only thing he is lacking is additional financial help The society current has approximately 600 active members. Next week's induction will admit over 250 new mem- see GOLDEN page 3 Armed robbery occurs near campus Three suspects apprehended Lex Wilson STAFF WRITER ECU student Dani- elle A. Vena of Monroe, N.C. was robbed at gun- point on Friday, Nov. 3. Vena was walking near the intersection of Jarvis and 5th streets around 12:10 a.m. when three male suspects approached her, Deveres O.

Candidates, young voters can't seem to find common ground WASHINGTON (TMS)-Evan Rabinowitz, a 20-year-old college junior from California, has figured out the politics of special interests: If you show up at the voting booth, your issues get heard. It's no wonder, he said, that the presidential candidates are talking about Medicare and Social Security and issues that affect the elderly. "Those are the people that vote Rabinowitz said. Therein lies the dilemma for younger voters. They don't tend to vote because Al Gore and George W. Bush don't talk about their issues; the candidates don't talk about their issues because they don't tend to vote. Political experts expect that voting by America's 18- to 24-year- olds will drop to an all-time low this presidential election-the result of apathy, cynicism and a disenchant- ment with national politics. "They don't see anything in either candidate that will make a major change in their lives said Curtis Gans, director of the Committee for the Study of the American Electorate, a nonpartisan organization that studies national voting patterns. Julia Cohen, executive director of Youth Vote 2000, a grassroots voting drive for Americans under 30 years old, calls it a "mutual cycle of neglect. It's not for lack of trying. Gore's daughter, Karenna Gore Schiff, heads up Gorenet-a grass- roots program directed toward young voters. George P. Bush, George Ws nephew and son of Florida's Gov. Jeb Bush, is spearheading the Republican campaign to raise youth interest. Both campaigns have elaborate Web sites, a popular medium among young people. And colleges across the country have student groups conducting get-out- the-vote campaigns. Yet, for all that, many potential first-time voters find the candidates lacking. For example, Youth Vote 2000 conducted a focus group of 18- to 24-year-olds during the third presidential debate Oct. 17 and found that most participants con- cluded that the candidates blew their chances to engage young people. When asked by a college profes- sor in the audience about apathy among younger voters and their belief that they were being ignored, Gore replied by discussing the importance of campaign finance reform and Bush talked about his desire to end the bitter partisanship in Washington.

Bright, 79, was definitively diag- nosed last week with the lung dis- ease, pulmonary fibrosis, a Campus Crusade spokesman said earlier this week. The condition is an incurable buildup of scar tissue in the lungs that stops them from doing their job of transferring oxygen to the blood. The average life expectancy after a diagnosis of pulmonary fibrosis is three to five years, said James Woelbern, Campus Crusade spokesman. Woelbern would not provide a prognosis for Bright. After a preliminary diagnosis. Bright recently underwent three days of extensive tests at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn one of the world's largest medical centers, with expertise in a wide range of conditions. After the evalua- tion. Bright received the confirmed diagnosis last week from his doctor, Woelbern said. Bright has been aware for the past four years of the prostate cancer, also potentially lethal but usually slow-moving. He has been treated for the cancer but has not made the condition known pub- licly. Woelbern said doctors think Bright developed pulmonary fibro- sis during the prostate cancer treat- ment, but that the cause of the lung ailment is unknown. In August, Bright announced he intended to step down as president of Campus Crusade on Aug. 1, 2001, and turn over the reins to Steve Douglass, a 30-year veteran of the organization. However, Woelbern said Bright's health was not a factor in that decision. Bright and his wife, Vonette, founded Campus Crusade as a small ministry to college students at the University of California 1-os Angeles in 1951. Today, Campus Crusade main- tains its college activities on cam- puses worldwide, including more than 800 schools in the United States. Campus Crusade has expanded its work into other missions, includ- ing a family missionary effort and the "Jesus" film, which has been translated into 620 languages. The group has more than 22,000 full-time staff members in 186 countries. That includes about 900 employees at its $45 million head- quarters on 275 acres in the Lake Hart area of Orlando. bers, making the organization's ECU chapter the largest in the Southeast region.

FORD Monday- Friday 7:30-5:30 Saturday 7:30-3:30 758-0114 www.hastingsford.com HASTNGS � , HOUSTON (AP)-Three Euro- pean diplomats on Saturday joined Mexico in appeals to Gov. George W. Bush and the Texas parole board to halt the execution of a native of Mexico convicted of a 1989 rape and murder. Miguel Flores, 31, faces execu- tion Nov. 9 for abducting, raping and fatally stabbing college student Angela Tyson with a pocket knife. Flores came within days of being executed in 1995, when he received a stay of execution from a federal judge. The U.S. Supreme Court in 1994 declined to hear his case. The French and Swedish ambas- sadors to the United States and the head of the European Union's Delegation of the European Com- mission sent a letter requesting the stay of execution to Bush and the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles, the French consulate in Houston mH) ECU tfOM�N S WATER POLO CLUB IS M "CURRENTLY RECRUITING FOR SPRIN6 SEMESTER!SPECIAL INTRODUCTORY PRACTICES KILL BE HELD IN NOV W INTERESTED.

Flores would have had a fair trial if Texas authorities had allowed him to contact Mexican officials given the "inherent disadvantages facing a detained foreign national said the letter, which cited provisions of international law under the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations. The letter also asked Bush to direct the Board of Pardons and Paroles to investigate Flores' case further and was signed by French ambassador Francois Bujon de l'Estang, Swedish ambassador Jan Eliasson and Gunter Burghardt, head of the European Commission delegation. Mexican consuls based in Texas met last month with state officials, seeking to halt the execution. The Mexican officials also have filed a protest with the U.S. State Depart- ment. Under Texas law, the governor can only issue a one-time, 30-day reprieve or act on a recommenda- tion of the parole board to grant a stay, commute a sentence or issue a pardon. The Texas Attorney General's office has said that there is no precedent for granting Flores relief based on the Vienna Convention. Last year, Joseph Stanley Faulder of Canada was executed in Texas despite his attorneys' claims that his conviction was tainted because he was never told he could seek help from Canadian authorities after his arrest. U.S. Secretary of State. Madeleine Albright was among those who got involved on Faulder's behalf. Phony AIDS letters sent to dozens MINNEAPOLIS (AP)-Dozens of people were sent phony, official- looking letters telling them they are infected with the AIDS virus. Mayor Sharon Sayles Belton's name and the City Hall address appear as the sender on the enve- lopes, but it is unclear who sent them or why. About two dozen people sent Iheir letters to her or called for an explanation. Belton turned the letters over to federal investigators. "This is really a vicious kind of mail fraudsaid Ann Freeman, a spokeswoman for the mayor. I he letters refer to recipients as patients with HIV and tell them to contact the news media.

NC 2H58 H3M Call PM-M-oMOe lor iiern Wnrmalion WiTH tMWr y for the ECU athletic department to imme- diately suspend Alston shows that Athletic Dirctor Mike Hamrick and Head Coach Steve Logan are serious about running a tight, clean ship. In an age when college athletics and sports in general are viewed as a play- ground for bad guys, it's good to see a department step up and make the right call. OUR VIEW ECU backup quarterback, Richard Alston was arrested late last week after he attempted to pass a counterfeit $100 bill at a local Burger King. The sophomore then left the scene and was tracked down at his apartment where police found drug paraphernalia. Acting quickly, the the athletic department suspended Alston indefinitely pending the outcome of the investigation. Earlier this year, Pennsylvania State University quarterback Rashard Casey was accused of the racially motivated beating of an off-duty police officer. He was allowed to continue to play. However, in Casey's case, he was cleared of the charges. Three years ago, a group of players at the University of North Carolina- Chapel Hill were involved in an altercation in downtown Chapel Hill. The group played all season. lust last year, UNC-CH basketball player Ed Cota was implicated in an altercation in Chapel Hill on Halloween. Cota too continued to play. Former Connecticut Huskies point guard Khalid El-Amin was stopped two years ago with marijuana in his car. He was also allowed to play. Earlier this season rumors circulated that during a high school game at Florida Field in Gainesville, Fla. both locker rooms were hit by thieves who took jewelry and other valuables from the players' bags during the game. One name that came up was that of abar Caffney, a UF wide receiver. The school did not look into the matter and Gaffney played that week, catching the winning touchdown against Tennessee. The phenomena does not stop in the pros. Former Nebraska runningback Lawrence Phillips was charged with beating his girlfriend. That did not stop the Rams from making him their first round pick. Runningback Cecil Collins was kicked out of two universities for illegal behavior but was drafted in the first round of by the Miami Dolphins. For the ECU athletic department to immediately suspend Alston shows that Athletic Director Mike Hamrick and Head Coach Steve Logan are serious about running a tight, clean ship. In an age when college athletics and sports in general are viewed as a playground for bad guys, it's good to see a department step up and make the right call. c FRIENDS JN TH6 D 4dJoMa IN MYOPINION Vice president makes reasonable promises Nicoik joknloH IN MYOPINION A Whopper of a mistake last week, an ECU football player got caught making what can only be called a very bad play. Police arrested quarterback Richard Alston when he tried to pass off a counterfeit $100 bill at a local Burger King. I think we all know that wasn't exactly the best idea in world. In fact, it was just plain stupid. Burger King is known for sometimes double-checking $20 bills, so it stands to reason that they'd do it for a $100. I mean, it seems pretty obvious that most of their customers probably don't hand over big bills like that for a Whop- per. Wouldn't most people try to pass it off at a small gas station, or some place at least rumored to have slack security? Then again, I've heard that Alston actually printed it up him- self. So, I guess that to somebody who thinks they can pass off a homemade bill, it may not be quite so obvious. But who knows-maybe the poor guy was just too hungry to think straight. And, as if Alston's little purchas- ing problem wasn't enough, there's more. Following an investigation, the police were also able to pin drug charges on him. Now, we've all seen profes- sional athletes jailed or suspended indefinitely for the exactly the same sort of thing. And we know that we should only risk as much as we're willing to lose. You know, "don't do the crime if you can't do the time So, whatever joy he got from selling or using drugs, along with the counterfeiting, apparently meant more to him than football. And I'm sure his teammates appre- ciate his "Pirate Pride" just as much as the rest of us do. What is truly sad is that his future is on the line. Alston was majoring in accounting and coun- terfeiting is a federal offense. Which means that if he is convicted, odds are he will never become a Certi- fied Public Accountant. Just think about it. If you were looking for someone to handle your books, would you pick the guy with that on his record? So, what happens now? As I understand it, Head Coach Steve Logan says the matter will be "han- dled internally What does that mean? Will he be suspended for the rest of the season? Will he lose whatever scholarships or privileges he might have? Perhaps the better question is this: Why? Why isn't the court going to decide the entire matter? For that matter, how much say will KCU authorities have? If you or I walked into a Burger King with a counterfeit $20 or even a fake $5, who would bail us out? Just because we're not "somebody we'd be on our own. We could pretty much kiss the rest of our semester, and possibly entire college career, good-bye, right then and there. But will that be the case for this football player? I just hope that what happens far too often doesn't happen here. You know, when the "who" outweighs the "what and the star finds that he's holding a "get out of jail free" card. If that happens, I'll want to know where was I when they handed those out. The two candidates with their different opinions have made it clear that they will help all Ameri- cans and the other candidate will only hurt them. Well, last week we analyzed Gov. George W. Bush. Now, let's take a closer look at the Vice-President. You may have already voted by the time you read this, but this might make you wonder if you made the right decision. Al Gore is representing most of the American population, whether they know it or not. Unless you are in the top 1 percent wealthiest and you want to get most of your taxes back, Al Gore will benefit you the most. He wants to give tax breaks to those who need it and deserve it the most. He wants to save social security and Medicare for those who are going to need it, while Bush, who doesn't have much concern for those who are going to need it, is putting them in jeopardy. Granted that a social security check is not much, it is how some senior citizens are getting by and we need to save it for those who will need it In the future. In this country, whether you are rich or poor, you should still be able to live a decent and respectful life. Gore is also going to protect the surplus rather than give it away to the richest in this country. If you look at the Reagan and Bush administrations, they did nothing but accumulate the largest debt this country has ever seen. It is apparent that the republicans are not very good at basic math and economics. Even with this huge debt, the Clinton administration helped Americans to see one of the most prosperous times in our history while accumulating the largest surplus we have ever seen. If Bush is allowed to step into office, then the projected surplus is going to decrease drastically. Gore is also a man who makes reasonable promises. Bush, on the other hand, has promised the wealthy in this country a trillion dollars in tax cuts while promising the same money to the senior citi- zens; which promise do you think he will break? Gore has made prom- ises that are not only good for the country but they are reasonable and responsible. When it comes to the environ- ment, Bush doesn't have much to say. The reason being that those who pay for his campaign don't want any environmental laws inter- fering with their businesses. This only means the air we breathe, the water we drink and the food we eat are going to become more contaminated and our health conditions are going to fall. Global warming is going to become a serious problem in the future and our dependence on oil is going to be prolonged. Gore wants to do something about the big corporations pollut- ing our air. He wants to find new energy supplies that are friendly to our environment, our economy and at the same time will take our dependence off of big oil. When it comes to foreign policy, Bush doesn't have a clue, whereas Gore knows more than enough. This is a big factor when it comes to dealing with our enemies and our allies. It is very important to keep peace in the Middle East. President Clinton has worked so hard and yet conditions continue to decline in the Middle East. What do you think will happen if Bush becomes president? Are we going to repeat something like Desert Storm, which will only make our economic conditions here worse? It's your vote, remember this when you are looking at that ballot. This writer can be contacted at flodhi@fec.ecu.edu. Vituuf. Setala IN MYOPINION On the eve of history ua IN MYOPINION Like it or not, Bush's DUI changes things Central Florida Future (TMS Campus)-With Election Day right around the corner, it has come out that George W. Bush received a DUI in 1976. Driving under the influence of alcohol is a serious matter. It is something that no one should ever do. It unwillingly puts other people's lives at risk. Do we really want or need a president that is willing to do something such as this? I know many people have driven intoxicated. 1 have even done so. And that was one of the most stupid decisions I have ever made in my entire life. I am cer- tainly not proclaiming that I am perfect, but without a doubt, 1 don't think that our president should be someone who would commit such a crime. I feel that another issue at hand here is that Bush waited until either the media or his competitors uncov- ered this issue, before he made a decision to discuss it with the public. "I'll be the first to say that what I did was wrong, and I've corrected that. I think the people of America will understand that said Bush in a hurried press conference Nov. 2. The people of America would be more likely to understand if Bush had fessed up and let every- one know about this matter much earlier. Bush's DUI occurred 24 years ago. Bush stated though that he had quit drinking only 14 years ago. That is a 10-year gap from the time of his DUI until he quit. Was a DUI not enough to stop him from drinking? Would the stresses of the presidency drive Bush back to drinking? I understand that no one is absolutely perfect. I however want the most perfect person as our country's leader. I want the man or woman who is going to be up front and honest with me. I want the person who shows longevity in a relationship, good business sense. Most importantly, I want someone with good morals and ethics in charge of running our country. This, along with the issue of Bush's possible use of cocaine, is going to be a huge deciding factor for many people. Al Gore has said that he has no intention of mentioning Bush's DUI in upcoming speeches. This is a true sign of how to conduct yourself in this type of situation. Centralia College (U-WIRE)-Today is the day. Quite possibly the most important day of the new millennium, and certainly the most historically significant of this century. Yes, folks, you know what I'm talking about. Nov. 7,2000. The day that we can all finally quit listening to all these politicians saying any and every outlandish thing their speech writers can dream up to convince us that only they have the secret to saving America. And I must admit, I am ecstati- cally relieved. Now I can get back to the really important stuff like trying to figure out how to get enough money to qualify for one of those tax-breaks for the wealthy they keep talking about. Although I did find the various "negative campaigning" ads mildly amusing, I was mostly insulted. It could be just me, but do these people think that we are so col- lectively stupid that we would actually believe anything these scoundrels have to say? Now let me see. I have a chance to get into an office where I can make an obscene amount of money doing absolutely nothing with no accountability for my actions, where the worst thing that could happen is that I am "retired" with another obscene amount of money. What would I do to get in a position like this? Probably the same things all these politicians are doing. Which is to say and do anything and everything no matter how remotely unconnected to the truth that may be. To think that those scalawags actually believe that those of us who live in the real world of mortgages, payments, gas prices and the neces- sity to eat do not realize what they're up to, really chaps my posterior. Maybe it's just a male mid-life crisis sort of thing, or just a skepti- cism based on a lifetime of watch- ing more and more of our hard- earned money being used to give us less and less freedom to use it, but I find that I don't really care who is elected. I don't think there is a bit of difference in any of them. Will I vote? Yep. At least then I will be able to bitch and moan in an honorable fashion. There is nothing more embarrassing than getting into an impassioned, informed bitching session on the erosion of our personal freedoms when the moron who still thinks the government is out for our best interests asks, "Did you vote?" Oh, yeah. That will put a damper on conversation, all right. Who am I going to vote for? Now that is an interesting question. From' what I hear, for the first time, the presidency could be decided by a single vote. So I'm holding out to the last possible second, in the hopes that MY vote is the hinge. Ah I tremble just to think about it. With all that is at stake, can you imagine what that one hinge vote would be worth? And would I shamelessly offer that vote to the highest bidder? Well of course I would, in a heart- beat! But take heart, dear readers, lest I be held in even lower esteem than those of you who know me already hold me, I can assure you such a vote would be exorbitantly expensive. 1 may be easy, but I'm not cheap! Unfortunately, the odds on the election hinging upon my vote are pretty slim. It's a possibility, sure, but more than likely the odds are similar to the odds of my ever win- ning the Publishers Clearinghouse Sweepstakes. I always enter that too. Cynical and skeptical as I may be, I am always the optimist. There is a slim chance that things will turn out better than I think they will, though I seriously doubt it. At least 1 can rest assured that when I turn on the TV all I will have to deal with are the usual ads that try to convince me I will be handsome, charming, rich and irresistible if 1 buy whatever they happen to be selling between every play of whatever football game I can find. Who knows, maybe I'll even win the sweepstakes! But I doubt it. 6 The East Carolinian www.theeastcarotinian.com FEATURES Tuesday, November 7, 2000 features@tec.ecu.edu tk Adapted Sports Day held at SRC Hey! It's him! Dexter Mathis, convicted of receiving the ill-gotten proceeds of a bank robbery and sentenced to 20 months in a federal prison in Atlanta, managed to convince Pierre Carlton to go to jail in his place. Carlton did Mathis' time, but, with only 50 days left to go, he escaped. Authorities, unaware that Carlton was substituting for Mathis, went to Mathis' home to see if any family members had heard from him. Mathis answered the door. He must now do the 20 months plus whatever he gets for fleeing to avoid incarceration.

He changed all the locks, and posted a sign that the house was now "the prop- erty of the United States government Alas, he seized the wrong house.

Brady is an accomplished paralympian and now an avid hand cyclist, (photo by Maura Buck) Wheelchair users learn new athletic opportunities Maura Buck FEATURES EDITOR The Fourth Annual Adapted Sports Day for athletes in wheelchairs was held Saturday, Nov. 4 at the Student Recreation Center (SRC) to celebrate their ability to participate in athletics despite physical challenges. People from all around the Southeast gathered together to learn and develop skills from state-wide professionals, ECU faculty and guest presenter William Brady, all made possible through a grant from the Recreation Access Project. "I was hit by a car as a college student at NC State and in the blink of an eye, 1 could no longer walk said William Brady, motivational speaker at the event. "To me, it was like starting my life over at 20 years old. I was essentially like a baby Brady, a member of three Paralympic USA Track and Field Teams, is a Charlotte, N.C. native who traveled to ECU to share his knowledge and experience with attendees. Currently Brady serves as a coach for the Charlotte Institute of Rehabilitation's Youth Track and Field team. He visited ECU to speak to the audience on his personal plight as a wheelchair user as well as to demonstrate his newest athletic outlet, hand cycling. " came because I think that we as a society should see and support these people more than we do. Hopefully, I serve as an inspiration to them Anna Castillo Senior, criminal justice major "We decided that one of our goals would be to bring someone in who is incredibly active said Terri Edwards, coordinator for Adapted Recreation at ECU. "We want to inform people of a host of activities, particularly new activities, to motivate them in their everyday lives A number of workshops were held to introduce the people who attended to events that they can not experience on aiejjulaf basis-Eyerything from kayaking and snorkeling, to wall climbing and martial arts were offered to those iriftfeSted. "I just get to do a bunch of fun stuff that I don't normally get to do when I participate in something like this said sophomore Mark janka, therapeutic recreation major. Senior Anna Castillo, another student who attended, was injured in a car accident in June which left her reliant on a wheelchair until last week. "I have been physically challenged so I can identify with both short and long-term disabilities said Castillo, a criminal justice major. "I came because I think that we as a society should see and support these people more than we do. Hopefully, I serve as an inspiration to them ECU, unlike any other school in the University of North Carolina system, hosts a year-long program for wheelchair users. The program, known as ARISE (Adapted Recreation and Intramural Sports Enrich- ment), makes possible similar events throughout the year to enrich the lives of student wheelchair users as they attend ECU. "ARISE is a big part of why I decided to come to ECU Janka said. According to Todd King, director of marketing for SRC, the event is in place to try to provide wheelchair users an opportunity to find new outlets and succeed as they adapt to the changes in their lives. 'These are adults who have never had a chance to experience these things Edwards said. "To many, it's the first time that they are introduced to venues such using hand brakes on a bike, something able people do without a second thought Edwards feels that although activities such as this are not uncommon across the country, it gives ECU great exposure. "Though legally, all schools must meet accessibility requirements, few schools offer programs such as ARISE Edwards said. "We try to act as a model to encourage other schools to implement similar programs Anyone with questions about the ARISE program should contact Terri Edwards at 328-6387. rh's writer may be contacted at features@tec.ecu.edu. Non-traditional Student Week celebrates the atypical Tafelmusik's sounds invade ECU Event sponsors various activities Maura Buck FEATURES EDITOR This week marks the first annual Non-tradi- tional Student Week in ECU history. The event, brought about by the Association for Non-Tra- ditional Students, is now nationally recognizing non-traditional students at universities across America and celebrating their presence. According to Michele Myers, director of Adult and Commuter Student Services, there are approxi- mately 4,2(H) non-tradi- tional students presently attending ECU. Formally, non-tradi- tional students were clas- sified as being over 24 years old however Myers feels that any student that hasn't followed the typical pattern of going directly from high school to col- lege could be classified as non-traditional. "I would call a single mom at 20 years old non- traditional Myers said. "I feel that any student start- ing college in an abnormal fashion could be catego- rized as non-traditional One of the purposes of the week is to make those students feel apart of the ECU community. As a result, there are a number of activities planned for the week to get those students involved on campus. Tonight and Thursday, Nov. 9 there will be discus- sions on financial plan- ning as well as managing schoolwork and family. In addition, there will be coupon offers and raf- fles at information tables set up 11 a.ml p.m. today in front of the Wright Plaza and from 11 a.ml p.m. tomorrow, Nov. 8 at the Cro- atan. There will also be free blood pressure screen- ing throughout the week at Student Health Ser- vices. "Non-traditional stu- dents have more life roles than do most students Myers said. "They are not simply students, they are students as well as parents, employees and in many cases involved within their communi- ties. These many factors, in many cases produce stress as well as difficulty managing time Senior Margie Boyd, a business major, feels like her collegiate experience is vastly different that that of traditional students. "My experience is dif- ferent in a lot of ways Boyd said. "1 think that I have a much different perspective than that of a younger person. This is not fun to me like it is to younger students. I am in school because I want to be Senior Christine Low- enstein, feels " think that I have a much different per- spective than that of a younger person Margie Boyd Senior very much the same way. "I first attended college right out of high school and 1 really wasn't ready l.ow- enstein said . "I think that it's too soon, after com- pleting 13 years elemen- tary and high school, to embark on a collegiate career. I am here now, not because my parents want me to be, but because I want to be Myers feels that this week is a good start to honoring those students, however the Office of Adult and Commuter Stu- dent Services has just begun. "We are simply scratching the surface with this type of event Myers said. "We plan on building and improving upon what we are begin- ning Myers feels that there are a lot of student ste- reotypes that need to be broken down. She feels that instead of picking out differences, students need to start interacting with them more. "If students would take the time to talk to those non-traditional students, they would find that they can learn a great deal from them Myers said. Boyd said that she is exciting that the Office of Adult and Commuter Student Services is host- ing a week in their honor. She feels that it's a great resource for non-tradi- tional students where they can learn where to get help in a setting that would allow them to feel comfortable. "We are apart of stu- dent life Myers said. "Our job is to make a connection for those stu- dents. We want them to know that we are here for them For more information or to offer suggestions for future events contact Michele Myers at 328-6881 or e-mail her at myersm�mail.ecu.edu.

Saturday, with first place and a trip to the Liberty Bowl on the line, the Cardinals rose to the occasion, whipping the Eagles 49-28. Before Saturday, Southern Miss had only allowed six touchdowns all season. Louisville hung seven on the stunned Eagle defense. The Cardinals picked off USM quarter- back Jeff Kelly four times in the win. The loss was only Southern Miss' third in the history of the conference. 'Notes win Bowl II Somebody forgot to tell Florida State Head Coach Bobby Bowden that you are not supposed to beat your kids bad. In what was the Seminoles second meet- ing with the Tommy Bowden-led Clemson Tigers, Florida State made the point that they too should be in the running for the national title with a 54-7 romp. FSU quarterback Chris Weinke threw tor S21 yards in the blowout win that saw the Seminoles pile on 771 yards of total offense. The drubbing was a departure from the 17-14 win the FSU eked out last season at Death Valley. Hurricanes over Hokies The Miami Hurricanes staked their claim as one of the nations' top teams Saturday with a 41-21 win over Virginia Tech. Thanks to two touchdowns from San- tana Moss, the Hurricanes easily routed the Hokies, who were without their offensive dynamo. Virginia Tech quarterback, Michael Vick did not practice all week due to an ankle sprain. While he did play for a few series, the sophomore was ineffective. The loss snapped the Hokies 19-game regular season winning streak. Ross steps down Detroit Lions head coach, Bobby Ross announced his resigna- tion following the team's 23-8 loss to Miami on Sunday. Former Michigan head coach Gary Moeller will take over for Ross as coach of the 5-4 Lions. Ross began coaching the Lions after 1996. He guided the San Diego Chargers to a Super Bowl berth in 1995 and Georgia Tech to a national title in 1990. Ross was 27-30 as head coach of the Lions.

Aggressive young teem builds for future Men's basketball enters season with promise; lose first exhibition PIRATES FALL 119-89 AGAINST CLUB VENTSPILS Scott Lange STAFF WRITER The 2000-01 men's basketball team is preparing for their last season in the CAA. The team, which will move to Conference USA next season, will look to improve from last year's 10-18 record. Two starters will return from last year's squad. Junior forward Kenyatta Brown averaged 6.7 points and 3.7 rebounds per game for the team last season. He emerged as one of the more productive players as the season went on last year. Junior Brandon Hawkins is the team's top returning scorer. Hawkins scored in double figures 13 times last season. This year's team will be a very young team that will need some work. With the loss of some key players from last season the team is welcoming six newcomers to the program. The newcomers joining the team will be looked up to early for contributions. The team is building for the future, which has second year coach Bill Herrion excited. "Our coaching staff is extremely pleased with the progress we have been making Herrion said. "I am pleased with where we are at this particular point now "The freshmen are learning very well both offensively and defensively Hawkins said. "We all just have to come together and get some wins Last year's squad used the size advantage to find points inside. This year with the size gone, the team will look to score from the perimeter and in transition. "Everyone on our team can run this year said Morrisey. "We have guys this year who have the ability to run the floor and score points One area that has impressed Herrion is the team's physical ability. "1 am very impressed with the returning players from last season Herrion said. "The new kids in the program, in particular the freshmen, are all advanced physically However, the Pirates do have some concerns about the team. Depth and lack of experience in the front court could be their biggest problem. The loss of several big men for rebounding and an inside game could be key. The only player who has returned from the front court this year is senior forward Vinston Sharpe. The new style of play could be entertaining for the fans. They will definitely be scoring more points this year. Staying healthy though could be the key to how far the team goes. Last Sunday, the Pirates showed off their new transition style offense against Club Ventspils of Latvia from Lithuania. The team lost 119-87. The Pirates kept it close in the first half. The team was able to get the opening tip and race out to a quick 7-2 lead. Junior guard Brandon Hawkins had the hot hand early on nailing three 3-pointers in the first five minutes of the game. The team was able to build a 19-11 lead before Club Ventspils cut the lead to 30-29. The lead changed several times as the game went on, but Club Ventspils was able to come up with some transition points to take a five point lead at 52-47 to end the half. Club Ventspils picked it up a notch as the second half began. They cruised to a quick 8-0 run to start the half and never looked back from there. Club Ventspils shot a blistering 62.9 percent from the field and had a thirty-four point lead at one point. The Pirates struggled in the second half shooting only 36.2 percent for the game. The team was outscored 67-40 in the second half. Senior swingman, Vinston Sharpe represents one of the few inside players that the 2000-01 ECU team returns. Sharpe, a Durham native, will be called upon to lead the young team.

'C S. Stephen Schramm SPORTS EDITOR Okay please explain this to me, if team A beats team B, then invariably, team A is better. It's quite simple really, isn't it? Saturday, Miami beat the No. 2 team in the country, the previously unbeaten Virginia Tech, soundly. Earlier in the year, the Hurricanes defeated Flor- ida State. The only blem- ish on Miami's season is a September loss to No. 6 Washington. So, in the new Bowl Championship Series Rankings, Miami should be sitting second behind Oklahoma, right? Nope, they are third behind Florida State, the team that they beat earlier this year. Unreal. Since it's inception, the BCS has been a target for critics in favor of play- offs. The system is a combi- nation of polls, computer ranking systems and other variables, combined in a complicated math prob- lem that supposedly holds the answer college foot- ball's national champion- ship dilemma. Each year the BCS crit- ics hope for the system to spit out a ridiculous scenario that will show the BCS for the flawed system that it is. Thus far they have been unsuccessful as every year college football has had a true national cham- pionship and champion, this year if both FSU and Miami win their last few games and the Hurricanes are on the outside looking in come the Orange Bowl, the critics will have their scenario. It also will change the heart of this reporter. Anyone who knows me knows that I am a purist with a capital "P I'm against the designated hitter, graphite racquets and the catcher-cam. I have argued like a pigskin Patrick Henry about the virtues of the bowl system. Much of the fun of col- lege football is in the pageantry. It's "dotting the T at Ohio State, it's Howard's Rock and Touchdown Jesus. Just as important as those is the slew of Weedeater Bowl that fill our televisions come the Holiday season. All that aside, if Miami doesn't make it into the national championship game and Florida State does then the hell with it, let's go to a playoff. This writer can be contacted at sports@tec.ecu.edu. Volleyball team drops two at home �'George Mason, American top Pirates in Minges Ryan Downey SENIOR WRITER The ECU volleyball team picked up its first two home losses of the season against George Mason in a Friday night contest and the conference powerhouse American on Saturday. The team had previously been unbeatable at home, storming to a 6-0 record and vanquishing all conference foes, controlling the games from start to finish. "It was a rough weekend said Head Coach Colleen Farrell. "We played two very good teams and didn't execute. When you beat a team 15-4 in one game last night and today yet loose the other games, then we're just not executing American, 23-4 overall and 9-2 on the road was not Intimidated by the Pirates as they jumped out to an early lead in game one and held on in a 15-9 win. The second game was a 15-5 loss for the Pirates who later rebounded with a one sided 15-4 win in game three. Game four looked more like the first two, "We had a few bad runs where they would score and we wouldn't. That caused us to start playing tentatively Luclnda Mason Outside hitter with American again jumping out to an early lead and holding on winning 15-5, sending the Pirates to 6-4 in the conference but still six games over .500 at 16-10 overall. The Pirates are guaranteed a winning record in what has been a turn around season for the program. "We came in not doubting our ability said senior outside hitter Lucinda Mason. "We had a few bad runs where they would score and we wouldn't. That caused us to start playing tentatively The players are left to regather themselves on the road where they will play their next three games before finishing the season at home against Virginia Tech. The Pirates will be taking a swing through Virginia facing William & Mary and Virginia Commonwealth, then ending their road games at NC State. The players are determined to stay focused on finishing out the season strong. This weekend's losses mark the first by the Pirates this season in Minges Coliseum, (file photo) "We just need to forget this weekend, learn from it and move on said senior Cinta Claro. "I would say William & Mary is our biggest challenge on the road The Pirates will play their final home game at 7 p.m. Nov. 18. Tuesday, www.the Buy Hunk.

Steve Beuerlein threw two touchdown passes and Joe Nedney made four field goals, including a 46-yarder with 40 seconds remain- ing, in the Carolina Panthers' 27-24 upset of the Super Bowl champions Sunday night. The Rams were without Mar- shall Faulk, whose right knee locked up on him during pre-game warmups after it was drained ear- lier in the day. Faulk, who was to undergo arthroscopic surgery early Monday, joined Kurt Warner on the sidelines. Team doctors estimated that Faulk, who leads the NFI. with 1,326 yards rushing and receiving, will be out 2-3 weeks. That probably also is the timetable for Warner, who has already missed two games with a broken little finger on his throwing hand. "I didn't know he was going to be out until they announced the Rams' Faulk has knee surgery ST. LOUIS (AP)-Marshall lock. Faulk had knee surgery Monday, and the team said the Rams' star running back is expected to be out three weeks. The operation removed loose cartilage from Faulk's right knee, an injury that forced one of the NFL's best runners to miss Sunday night's loss to the Caro- lina Panthers. Teammate D'Marco Farr, a defensive tackle, was out a month after a similar opera- tion. Faulk has been playing with a sore knee most of the season. An MRI on Oct. 30 revealed torn scar tissue and an enlarged bruise in addition to the loose cartilage. Faulk practiced Friday and went out for warmups after having the knee drained earlier Sunday, but the knee began to 'He could feel the cartilage getting hung up In there Martz said. "Really, there was nothing else to do Justin Watson started in place of Faulk, who entering Sunday led the NFL with 1,326 yards from scrimmage. Faulk did not play Sunday. He suited up for the first half but was wearing sweats after halftime. Watson scored on a 3-yard run in the third quarter but finished with 12 yards on 12 carries. The loss of Faulk comes as the Rams are still without last season's NFL and Super Bowl MVP, quarterback Kurt Warner. Warner will be out another two to four weeks with a broken pinky on his throwing hand. He was hurt during a 54-34 loss to Kansas City on Oct. 22. BASKETBALL from page 8 "We were aggressive in the first half but we missed some open shots said Herrion. "They put pressure on us at every spot. "We have a lot of young guys and they played well for us tonight said Herrion. "When games get tough, however, you have to have that leader on the team and we have yet to find a leader to settle us down The Pirates were led by fresh- man center Gabriel Mikulus who had 17 points and a game high nine lebounds. Jimmy Bishop and Vinston Sharpe each had 14 points a piece. The team will have one more exhibition game against the Califor- nia All-Stars this Friday at 7:30 p.m. at Minges Coliseum. The team will begin their season next weekend by playing in the Marist tournament in upstate New York. The Pirates will then have their first home game Nov. 22 against Robert Morris. GMs wait out offseason movement starting lineups offensive tackle Orlando Pace said of Faulk. "But we can't feel sorry for ourselves Trent Green was 29-for-42 for 428 yards and two touchdowns and Faulk's backup, Justin Watson, scored on a 3-yard run for the Rams. But Watson finished with just 12 yards on 12 carries, Green had trouble finishing drives and kicker Pete Stoyanovich, subbing for injured Jeff Wilkins, missed from 37 yards in the third quarter. First-round pick Trung Canidate, drafted as Faulk's backup, was active for the first time in seven games after recovering from a sprained foot, but did not play. Martz, who said last week that it was time for Canidate to get on the field, gave no explanation. The Panthers (4-5) handed the Rams (7-2) their second loss in three games and ended their 15-game winning streak in the Trans World Dome. They also ended the Rams' 12-game winning streak against NFC West opponents and St. Louis' NFL-record streak of 14 straight games with 30 or more points. The Rams' division lead is down to one game over New Orleans. "We really feel like we accom- plished something Beuerlein said. "We've laid a lot of eggs this year, and the bottom line for us now is we've done something good. AMELIA ISLAND, Fla. (AR-i-bur players hold the key to this offsea- son's movement in baseball. Until Alex Rodriguez, Manny Ramirez, Mike Hampton and Mike Mussina decide where they will play next year, everyone else's plans will be on hold. "There's a lot of shopping and a lot of talking, but not a lot of action yet Boston general manager Dan Duquette said Sunday, echoing the sentiment of many of his colleagues at the GM meetings. There are at least a dozen teams in the running for the big four free agents, including the Red Sox, who are targeting Mussina. Those teams are unwilling to spend money or fill holes with lesser players until they know where they stand in the big sweepstakes. "Until the free-agent market plays itself out, you won't see much movement on trades said Mets general manager Steve Phillips, who could be involved with all four superstars. "Most trade discussions are held in conjunction or second- ary to the free-agent market The Mets have already made offers to free-agent pitchers Rick Reed and Turk Wendell, and could resolve their contracts before they are free to negotiate with other teams beginning Saturday. That's the first day teams other than Seattle can talk money with Rodriguez, the head of this year's free-agent class. A-Rod is one of the top offensive players in the game at the mostly defensive position of shortstop. At 25, he has most of his career ahead of him. Agent Scott Boras has prepared a 50-page document detailing the qualities of his client, who hit .316 with 41 homers and 132 RBIs this season. "When it comes to power hit- ters, the sluggers, the guys who can drive in 120 RBIs, MVP-type players, in this certain timeframe between 27 and 35, the longer the owners wait to lock them in, the better for the player said Boras, who will probably make Rodriguez baseball's highest-paid player. "Patience is a virtue for the slugger. Patience is a virus from the club's standpoint Boras, who cut off negotiations with Seattle before the season, also clarified remarks from Rodriguez that he won't sign with the Yankees, who already have his buddy, Derek Jeter, at shortstop. "We think it was maybe a mis- understanding or something. He was talking about playing them in the American League champion- ship series Boras said. "I spent five days with him on the subject.

What's In It For You . http:idrive.ecu.edu shopping � hasn't dismissed any team Cleveland GM John Hart, one of the other major players this week, arrived Sunday and immediately huddled with his assistants as the Indians mull over a counterpro- posal to Ramirez's $200 million, 10-year request. They expect to respond to Ramirez's agent, Jeff Moorad, by Tuesday. Cleveland also is pursuing a" fallback plan that could include signing a starting pitcher and a lesser outfielder to make up fot Ramirez's .351 average, 38 homers and 122 RBIs in only 439 at-bats. - The Indians are interested in pitchers like Mussina, Denny Neagle and Darren Dreifort, as welf as outfielder Ellis Burks. "This is a good place to lay the groundwork Cleveland assistant general manager Mark Shapiro said. ' The Yankees, Who "will be a leading contender in the Ramirez, sweepstakes, decided they want to keep their current right fielder, Paul O'Neill. The Yankees appeared willing to let O'Neill go as he struggled down the stretch because of age and injuries. But a .474 batting average in the World Series appar- ently changed GM Brian Cashman's mind and it looks likely that O'Neill will sign a one-year deal.

Anywhere, anytime access from any Web ready computer. Let's say you've got a private enterprise (like a term paper, essay, or resume) and you don't want anybody ripping off your intellectual property. Relax. X:Drive files are password-protected. Even if you're mooching off your roommate's computer. Or, let's say you're doing a group project and feel like sharing. Think how much easier it'll be if everyone on the team has access to the same files, notes, and timetables. No matter where they are on cam- pus (or the planet). More good news. X:Drive gives you 25 megs of space free (that's about the same as the 17 virus-infected floppies you won't have to schlep around anymore). Which brings up another nifty feature. X:Drive has this cool Skip the Download m technology. It lets you grab MP3s, video, and groovy pics from the Web in seconds while you keep surfing. So join the Party at wwwxdmt.com. X:Drive.
