Bush cautiously claimed vic- tory Wednesday, even though his narrow lead in Florida-a crucial electoral state-was stuck in limbo pending a vote recount. His Democratic rival, Vice President Al Gore, gave a brief statement this afternoon in which he urged "respect for the rule of law as Florida officials began carefully counting ballots again. "We now need to resolve this election in a way that Is fair and forth- right, and in a way that is fully consistent with the Constitution and our laws Gore said. "Because of what is at stake, this matter must be resolved expeditiously, but delib- erately and without any rush to judgment Bush, the Texas gov- ernor, has a 1,784-vote lead over Gore in Florida. Because the lead is so narrow, Florida's election officials, by law, enacted a mandatory recount Wednesday. The recount must be completed by the end of the business day Thursday. "Because of the close- ness of the presidential election, an automatic recount as provided by law is currently under way Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, the Republican pres- idential hopeful's younger brother, told reporters Wednesday afternoon. "We thought it would be close Jeb Bush said. "Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine it would be this close. I have the greatest confidence in the independently elected bipartisan group of coun- try supervisors of elections that exist all across our state Four Florida counties reported the first recount results Wednesday after- noon, with only a slight change indicated for the vice president, who picked up 23 votes among their combined tallies. "This morning brings news from Florida that the final vote count there shows that Secre- tary (Dick) Cheney and I have carried the state of Florida George W. Bush told reporters Wednesday afternoon. "And if that result is confirmed by an automatic recount as we expect it to be, then we have won the election "We have to make sure the outcome is finalized as quickly as possible he said, adding that the situation reflects on the "strength of our democ- racy Bush promised that he would work hard to gain the confidence of Gore voters. A county-by-county recount had begun by Wednesday afternoon, and election officials said they would release results- as they received them. The Electoral College and ultimate victory for either Gore or Bush is at stake. In Washington, Pres- ident Clinton, newly returned from New York after first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton's vie- . tory in that state's Senate race, said the continually unfolding events sur- rounding this year's presi- dential election should quash any notion that individual votes are not significant. "If ever there was a doubt about the impor- tance of exercising democ- racy's most fundamental right, the right to vote, yesterday put it to rest 1 . ??? Clinton said. "The Ameri- - caw-people have spoken The president, said he and Gore spoke after the vice president retracted his one-on-one conces- sion to Bush. He did not give much detail about the contents of that con- versation. "1 talked to him (after the phone call) Clinton said. "He was pleased that he was getting the popular vote, and we had a very good talk. He congratu- lated Hillary A Gore campaign spokesman said his side believes enough votes remain uncounted to See FLORIDA pg 3 si ? ? ? ? it Counterfeit investigations pending Bond referendum passes Two illegal bills used; different locations, same night Lex Wilson STAFF WRITER Six days after the arrest of ECU's back-up quarterback Richard Alston, both the Greenville and ECU police departments are continuing their investigations into whether another incident involving a counterfeit bill is related to Alston. Alston was arrested last Thursday after attempting to pay for a meal with a $100 counterfeit bill at the Burger King drive-thru on 10th Street and Greenville Boulevard. More details regarding the events leading up to Alston's arrest have surfaced. According to Burger King's restaurant manager, who refused to be identified for this story, Alston drove up to the drive-thru at approximately 8:45 p.m not at 11:30 p.m. as originally reported by Greenville Police Department (GPD). "We were just about to finish up an event with the Phi Mu Alpha fraternity, which was scheduled to end at 9 p.m when the incident took place the manager said. The manager said the window clerk, non-student James Price, was following restaurant procedure when he rejected the $100 bill Alston used to pay for his meal. "Burger King's policy entails that any currency $20 and above are to be handed to a manager for approval, always the manager said. "Our employees sign a contract prior to hiring that if they do not get currency approved and it turns out to be counterfeit, they are responsible for repaying the full amount to Burger King The manager also said the counterfeit bill felt the same as a genuine $20 bill that he approved five days prior to the Thursday night incident. After Price took the $100 bill and passed it to the manager, Alston was told that the bill did not look genuine. The passenger in Alston's vehicle then gave Price a genuine $20 to pay for the meal at which time Price told them it was policy to hold the vehicle until police arrived. Alston, waited for approximately 20 seconds before driving away. Price took down Alston's license plate number and reported the incident to the GPD. "The $100 bill looked real Price said. "I didn't think that it was fake. The only thing about it was that it felt very similar to wallpaper-sort of slick Alston has since been released on a $5,500 unsecured bond. Another incident involving an attempt by an individual to pass a counterfeit $100 bill occurred around 11:45 p.m. the same evening in the Galley dining area in Jones Residence Hall on College Hill Drive. Police have not given any information yet regarding a suspect. "The ECUPD along with the GPD are still trying to determine if the two incidents are related by running down all relevant leads said Capt. Frank Knight of the ECU Police Department (ECUPD). "The investigation is still ongoing and several law enforcement agencies are coordinating on the investigation According to the FBI, counterfeiting money is a federal offense. Both the FBI and possibly the U.S. Treasury Department could be participating in the investigation, however, Knight would not confirm this. "I can not offer this information being that the Investigation is still pending Knight said. Alston could not be reached for comment. Anyone with information regarding this incident should contact the Greenville Police Department at 830-3937. This writer can be contacted at newsQtec.ecu.edu. ECU to receive $190.6 million Nancy Kuck ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR The long awaited $3.1 billion Higher Edu- cation Bond- Referen- dum was passed on Tuesday with the sup- port from the North Carolina voting com- munity. ECU's share of the bond is $190.6 million. At the close of the election, 75 percent of the state approved the bond referendum, in Pitt County, 82 per- cent agreed that a ref- erendum was needed to improve our universi- ties facilities. The bond will pro- vide the much needed renovations and con- struction of academic facilities on the 16 Uni- versity of North Caro- lina (UNC) campuses and various commu- nity colleges. Portions of the bond's money are allo- cated to ECU and other UNC institutions faced with the prospect of 50,000 additional stu- dents expected state wide over the next 10 years. Receiving the third largest share of the bond referendum, ECU will facilitate the money toward completing the current construction of the new Science and Technology Building adjacent to the Howell Science Complex. The preparation site for the main infrastruc- ture of the building was recently completed with the $7 million ini- tially allocated by the N.C. General Assem- bly. "We are totally elated and the next thing we have to do is go through a process to get permission to pro- ceed with the construc- tion of the building said Austin Bunch, assis- tant to the chancellor. Advertisements for a contractor are projected for mid to late Decem- ber. ConstrucUon is pro- jected to begin by the middle of spring semes- ter. The projected com- pletion date is 2003. SBONDi 2 The East Carolinian www.theeastcarolinian.com Thursday, November 9, 2000 news@tec.ecu.edu M&3 Congratulations ECU and North Carolina voters! Students at ECU will benefit significantly from the new bond. Among campus renovation and conversion of current facili- ties for academic use, repairs and expansion of the campus infrastructure and improvements in classrooms and laboratories will also take place. The Brody School of Medicine will receive much-needed addi- tional library and study space to accommodate current and future enrollment growth in Health Sci- ence programs as well. SGA did everything possible to help campaign for the bond. We distributed stickers and campaign literature to all campus organi- zations, sent a letter to every ECU North Car- olina parent, had voter regis- tration drives, spoke on WZMB 91.3 FM, spoke to campus orga- nizations, hung MnSMOl C. AhO posters, made SGA chief OF staff banners and all in all, got the word out! With the passage of this bond Tuesday, ECU now has the potential to become a strong contender in both national and global academic programs. All degrees will be worth a little more now-so, thank you for your help in passing these ?bonds. In legislative matters, the following campus organization constitutions were approved: Airwaves (umbrella media orga- nization), Pirate Bridge Club and ECU Student Athletic Train- ers Club (which will provide all student athletic trainers the kills needed for their training). Additionally, 14 new stu- dents were sworn into their respective legislative seats. The legislature still has seats open, so if you are interested in filling one of these, please stop by Room 255 Mendenhall and fill out an application. 'Bkbh'g J.

But if that is not the case, Gore campaign chairman William Daley said, "Vice President Gore and Senator (Joe) Lieberman are fully prepared to concede and to support Governor Bush if and when he is officially elected president Gore overtook Bush in the national popular vote tally by 1 percentage point, 49 percent to 48 percent. Officials in Florida said all the precinct ballots and all the absentee ballots had been counted in all 67 counties with the major exception of overseas absentee ballots. Now all the votes will be recounted by supervisors from all counties, with representatives from the news media and both candidates pres- ent. Election officials said either the number of overseas absentee ballots or a change as a result of the recount could tip the election for Bush or for Gore. It is also possible that one can- didate could win the Electoral College vote and the other win the popular vote, which hasn't happened in a hundred years. ????????????

There are pathetic speculations whining, and thick, smog-like opinions. What is going on? Everyone is confused Electoral what! Why are the numbers different on each station? Percentage this, percentage that! Drip, drip, drip Last night we watched a jigsaw map of our country flash blue and red across our TV sets, and anchor people with plastic faces were supposedly telling us "the truth?" We all went to bed, woke up, and over Frosted Flakes and a cup of joe, we picked up this intense novel where it left off. Still no winner, still no loser. Something about losing this and not gaining that, lost numbers here, forgot to smile there, and something is rotten in the state of Florida! All we want to know is when are these candidates going to pick up those dilapidated signs of their faces littering the road? What a bunch of eye-sores! Until the time comes for them to pick a number and stick with it, the networks will still keep us enraptured. fou&ten Monte IN MY OPINION Why I voted for Gore A IN MY OPINION Some dating traditions need to persist today It's funny how people change over time. As we grow and mature, we will see different perspectives and the way we view the world will change. Our outward appearances and the actions we take will then change. It's like a cycle. Traditions change and people grow. I'll never forget the quote, "Things don't change by and by. People do This is true and can be applied to any aspect of life, especially dating. For example, one thing that has changed through generations are the people who we'd want to date. Modern guys are very different from their ancestral men as a whole. In the past, going on hearsay, a guy was much more polite and really knew how to treat his lady. He respected her and her ideals more than those in present day. He would court and woo her, bringing her flowers, writing her poetry and whispering sweet nothings in her ear. She wouldn't have to worry about whether or not he had ulte- rior motives, because he probably wouldn't be that straightforward about his physical attraction to her. On the other hand, the ladies then were always pristine and seldom, if ever, wore pants. Their skirts and blouses would never show too much skin, but rather just enough. Their hair was always done nicely and only a few pieces of jewelry were worn as to keep the nice delicate appearance. Their hands would be well-manicured and little or no make-up would be worn. She'd never be caught calling her man a "cheatin' dog" because he'd have no reason to look else- where, or at least it was remotely heard of. Very few had premarital sex back in this (what may seem like) ancient time of dating because they viewed sex as a union between two people who believed they'd be together forever. The point is, many things that are happening now probably happened back then; they just knew how to keep their mouths shut. But now, everything is different. We are loud when telling others about our lives. Many of us don't care about being judged by others so we let it all hang out, literally speak- ing. Many of us don't care that if something we say is misconstrued, it can hurt someone's feelings or seem obscene to another's innocent ears. Many girls don't watch their language when talking to other females and are vulgar in talking to guys. Girls now tend to be more bold with their language. They don't hesitate in using profanity around anyone except for maybe their preacher and their parents. They'll ask a guy, "You want a piece of me?" in the blink of an eye and depending on what he says, she may tell him to come on. That was unheard of 50 or more years ago. It would have been seen as rude and unladylike. Generally speaking, the dating game today is typically mostly physical, whereas in the past it was more emotional. Don't get me wrong, there are many emotions all of us deal with when we're dating that special person, but that's not all our feelings are based on. That's why your parents freaked out when you said you were, or they caught you, sleeping over at your boyfriend or girlfriend's house. They weren't allowed to do that, unless they disobeyed their parents or snuck out. Not only is dating now really physical, but a lot of mannerisms from the past are eliminated in modern dating. Most guys usually don't even hold doors open. To those that do and don't let them slam in our faces, thank you. Many don't pull out a chair for their date to sit down and just figure she can get it on her own. Many don't bring flowers, or even call to say they're sorry when they've done something wrong. They either act like it never hap- pened, make you feel guilty even If it wasn't your fault, or never call back. Many guys feel that because women are so independent, they can pay their own way out on out- ings. Women don't want the man to do everything for them all the time. But now and then, the gesture is what's important, and believe me, she'll notice and appreciate you even more for it. Girls, leave something to be desired. Don't wear clothes so revealing he has nothing left to fantasize about. You want to keep things exciting, but not too much. Overall, boys and girls, realize that even though both sexes have a lot in common, we're very different. It would be nice to carry over some traditions now and then. When we're in any kind of relationship, friendship or intimate, we like to feel appreciated. So the next time you go to stick out your mouth, unless you have good reason, remember it takes more muscles to frown. So smile, and give him something to wonder about. Try doing something different and unexpected for a change. Try going back, looking at the tradi- tional dating of the past and apply it to today. You may just end up with the results it seems like you've been waiting forever for. , Who did you vote for? I'm sure that is the topic of most conversa- tions as the first presidential elec- tion of the new millennium comes to an end. Some will turn away, reluctant to reveal their voting choices, some will sneer at the thought of anyone actually voting for Nader and then there are some who will look at you and say, "elec- tion?" I made my vote for Al Gore and 1 am not afraid to tell you why. This being the first election that I was able to vote in, I decided early on that I was going to follow the candidates, the debates and the issues, and then logically make my decision. Unfortunately, it did not take that long. I tried my hardest to ignore the character flaws that were waved around about Bush, such as, the fact that he was an alcoholic, that he comes across as being unintelligent, and that he reportedly told the Queen of England, at a dinner at the White House during his father's administration, that every family, including hers, had a black sheep. Yes, this could have all been overlooked, if only he had a reason- ably strong platform to stand on. Nader, in my opinion, was the lost candidate of this election. He had the issues and the solutions to many problems, but for some reason he just,couldn't get the backing. I would have seriously voted for Nader, If this wasn't such a close election, but I don't think that I would have been able to live with myself if I voted for Nader and Bush won the election. Therefore, I voted for the close second to Nader. The main reason that I voted for Gore was because of his belief that women's issues are important. Being a woman, I feel that it is very important that the person I elect to make the rules which we live by, has some sort of respect for me, as an individual and as a woman. Gore is for a women's right to choose, an issue that has caused many debates between religious and political persons for a long time. I, however, am not looking at it as a religious issue, but simply as a freedom that should not be controlled by a bunch of politi- cians. I am not saying that I agree or disagree with abortion, but is it really fair to make such a life changing decision for someone? The other reason that made me vote for Gore is his standing on environmental issues. Over the years, Gore has proven that he is a prevalent advocate for the pres- ervation of our environment. He intends to combat such problems as, pollution, deforestation and global warming, and this is not just talk to get votes. During the Clinton administration, he played a big part in legislation for conservation and plans to contest global warming, which is something that should be a great concern for people world- wide. He also plans on preserving the undeveloped land nationwide, unlike his counterpart, who wants to destroy acres of natural, undevel- oped land in Alaska for a quick solu- tion to a natural resource problem, and then worry about it later. I'm sorry Mr. Bush, wrong answer. In addition to this, Gore clenched my vote by standing (or such Issues as, making tougher gun control laws, giving tax cuts to those people who are actually in need of them and by possessing strong skills in foreign policy. He has proven, in the past eight years, that he has the experience, the knowledge and the leadership that it takes to bring the United States in the next millennium. After all, do we really want someone who can't pronounce supposably correctly, making deals involving nuclear fire arms? Although I do not yet know who has won the election, while writing this opinion piece, I feel that my first presidential vote was given to a well deserving Al Gore.

Bertelsmann media company announced last week its intention to team up with Napster and start charging users for the right to swap music files online. In doing so, the company, which owns BMG and sells records by Whitney Houston, Kenny G and Britney Spears, showed how the Internet will become a legitimate medium. In joining with Napster, Ber- telsmann broke ranks with most of the recording industry which had rejected Napster.com with its bootleg recordings as a threat to artists' rights. These artists and industry execu- tives were fighting a losing battle against the dawning of the Digital Age. The music industry simply saw Napster as an illegitimate parasite that robbed artists of the royalties that were due to them. They saw Napster as a competitor. Many universities, including Baylor, followed the music indus- try's lead. Baylor's announcement this fall to ban access to Napster from university computers arose in part out of fears of legal action against Napster and the sites that allowed access to it by the recording Industry. Rational thinkers realized that even if Napster were forever banned from cyberspace, the technology would not cease to exist. Copycat Web sites could and already have begun to create online communi- ties similar to Napster. Napster made it popular, but the Internet I made it possible. The challenge was to find a way to seize the technology and use it to the benefit of the industry. BMG did that. With this new plan to charge users about a $5 fee to trade music files every month, the companies have added accountability to the technology's possibilities. There's no such thing as a free lunch, and there shouldn't be any such thing as free music. Oklahoma Daily (U-W1RE) NORMAN, OklaThis is Preserva- tion Month. I appreciate preserva- tion. It's what you do when you run for president. You gotta preserve explained George W. Bush to a group of New Hampshire elemen- tary students during Perseverance Month. That's P-E-R-S-E-V-E-R-A- N-C-E. Over the last year we have come to love little Dubya for his uncanny ability to make a fool of himself at any given moment. We watch in amazement as he stumbles, fumbles and bumbles, attempting to regur- gitate lines fed to him by countless advisors, speechwriters and ex- presidents. And what will Bush gain from his exceptional lack of intellect? Probably the presidency. It's depressing to think that this pathetic scion of one of America's most powerful families will be representing us as the leader of the free world for the next four years. But surely Bush makes up for his lack of intelligence with other qualities, right? Well, let's see. Maybe it's his homespun west Texas philosophy that makes him so durn likeable. Like he said at a South Carolina oyster roast, "We must all hear the universal call to like your neighbor just like you like to be liked your- self That's like some of the most likeable words I have ever heard. Leave it to Dubya to screw up the golden rule. And he's supposed to represent the Christian right. Shame on him. Maybe it is his sound political ideals that keep Bush atop the polls then. "If you're sick and tired of the politics of cynicism and polls and principles come and join this cam- paign said Bush at a rally in Hilton Head, S.C. Well, I know I'm fed up with the poliUcs of principle. What business do principles have interfering in political campaigns anyway? Bush is a strident proponent of education, though, and that can't be overlooked. Like he so elo- quently pointed out on a campaign stop in Florence S.C, "Rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning?" Well, let's hope they are, if only to correct your grammatical aberrations, Governor. It seems during the debates that Bush got a real surge in the polls especially with the undecided voters. So maybe his uncanny skills in the art of forming sound argu- ments compel us to him. During the last of this year's three debates Lisa Key asked, "How will your tax proposals affect me as a middle-class, 34-year-old single person with no dependents?" Gore answered first by giving the specifics of how his plan would benefit taxpayers at lower income levels. Gov. Bush then began by saying Gore's tax breaks, education and elder care benefits would "cost a whole lot of money, a lot more than we have Dubya then proceeded down his usual slippery slope of pretzel logic by finishing his answer as follows, word-for-word: "I think also what you need to think about is not the immediate, but what about Medicare? You get a plan that will include prescrip- tion drugs, a plan that will give you options. Now, I hope people understand that Medicare today is is is Important, but it doesn't keep up with the new medicines. If you're a Medicare person, on Medicare, you don't get the new procedures. You're stuck in a time warp in many ways. So it will be a modern Medicare system that trusts you to make a variety of options for you. "You're going to live In a peace- ful world. It'll be a world of peace because we're going to have a clearer clear-sighted foreign policy based upon a strong military and a mission that stands by our friends-a mission that doesn't try to be all things to all people. A judicious use of the military which will help keep the peace. "You'll be in a world, hopefully, that's more educated, so It's less likely you'll be harmed in your neighborhood. See, an educated child is one much more likely to be hopeful and optimistic. "You'll be in a world in which- rits into my philosophy. You know, the harder work-the harder you work the more you can keep. It's the American way. Government shouldn't be a heavy hand, that's what the federal government does to you. Should be a helping hand. And tax relief in the proposals I just described should be a good helping hand Any high school student run- ning for class president would be laughed off stage if they made a speech as incoherent as this. Bush Isn't running for president of his class though, he's running for president of his nation. i 6 The East Carolinian www.theeastcarotinian.com FEATURES Thursday, November 9, 2000 features@tec.ecu.edu Thursday, r www.theea I FEATURESBRIEFS Today's Birthday: Expect lots of action today, but too much may get on your nerves.

Above and Beyond: Miranda Morton Morton doles out smiles and info (photo by Kenny Smith) Bridget Hemenway STAFF WRITfcR Every day on campus, students pass dozens of nameless faces. Some may smile, but some don't even look. However, nearly all are truly special people. One of those people is sophomore Miranda Morton. As a student, Morton goes above and beyond to do her best. As a person, she goes the extra mile to make sure she recognizes students across campus and greets them with a friendly smile. Originally from Winston-Salem, N.C Morton came to ECU last year to start on her degree in "I love to volunteer and give my time to others. It gives me confidence to know I'm helping others as much as I can Miranda Morton Sophomore accounting. Her need for extra money and her desire to help others led her to a job at the Mendenhall Student Center (MSC) help desk. "It's a lot of responsibil- ity Morton said. "People depend on you to know what you're doing. You can never tell someone you don't know the answer to their question Aside from answering the student locator phone line and the MSC information line, Morton sells bubble sheets, rents table cloths and reserves rooms for student groups. She also fields numerous questions from students, staff and visitors about MSC7s activities, including the movie schedule. "I worked hard to learn all of this information Morton said. "You have to be an unlimited source of knowledge Aside from her work at MSG, Morton is also a member of the Society of National Collegiate Scholars.

"I have had to learn time management, which has really helped me keep everything in order. I think anyone who hesitates to work or even volunteer their time shouldn't be afraid of risking their grades. You have to challenge yourself and believe in yourself.

The Pirates will take the field for the first time since their 16-13 loss to UAB two weeks ago. The loss dropped the Pirates out of the Conference- USA title race and com- plicated the Pirates post- season possibilities.

We can't afford any more mis- takes "It's a big game said quarterback David Gar- rard. "If we go out and win this one then we'll probably be assured of a bowl game. We defi- nitely need to go out and win this one and win the rest of them and turn our season into a positive one With the suspension of Alston, the Pirates will have to go with one quar- terback for the first time in almost two years. Alston has had an appearance in every game so far this season. "Well I'm not happy to take all the snaps Ciarrard said. "I would like to have somebody to come in and get them- selves some reps. But I'm happy to do what ever the team needs me to do The distraction of Alston's arrest has been played down by the coaches and players.

Both the men's and women's teams picked up wins over Old Dominion and William & Mary respectively. The great performances kept the men's swim team undefeated at 5-0 and pushed the women to 4-1. "This past weekend we were just ecstatic said Head Coach Rick Kobe. "To go on the road for the second consecutive weekend and come away 4-0 is awesome. On Sunday we just swam very well for a second day. The team we swam against (William & Mary) didn't have a meet Saturday so they were rested The men's team is starting off better then last year when after five meets they were 4-1 and 2-1 in the conference. Their depth gives them an edge on the road that they didn't have last season. The road is becoming a comfortable place for these Pirates. The men swam strong against ODU and were able to win the meet before the last race, making the final event a 400 freestyle relay nothing more then high stakes victory lap. "We've got a real deep team this year said sophomore Chris Miller. "I think having all of these fast guys really pumps us up The team will face what could be their toughest opponent this Friday at the Minges natatorium when they will be taking on the NC State Wolfpack. The ACC Power will be bringing a very athletic and talented team. "It will definitely be our toughest meet said Miller. "They have a lot of powerhouse swimmers on their team but I think we have more depth. It will be the fourth and fifth place finishers that decide the meet for us The women's team Is reloading after a great season last year. After splitting two meets last weekend they were able to put together two strong performances this weekend and take a sweep on the road. The women had a tough time, against ODU on Saturday, having to finish first and third in the final event to pull out the win. Sunday the women and the men were able to take 10 of 13 events from William St Mary. The women's team which is heavily loaded with freshmen and sophomores is coming Into its own. "Our team is really young this year as far as lots of freshmen and sophomores said freshman Meghan Dunaway. "That helps because as the training gets harder we are all going to go through it together. We help each other out inside and outside the pool Ages didn't matter this weekend as the team came together when It counted against ODU. The women needed great performances and they got them from everybody.

But after one swing of her club, her presence is felt. This is no ordinary golfer. Jessica Krasny, a freshman on the ECU women's golf team, has been playing golf since she was 10 years old. Her dad would take her out on the course and spend hours hitting golf balls. He then decided to start signing her up for some local tournaments. Since then Krasny says her parents have been very supportive and try to come to most of her tournaments. Krasny, who is from Summerville, S.C started playing in tournaments after just a year of playing. She won her first individual title in Charleston, S.C. at a local tournament. Since then, Krasny has developed a passion for the game, and a world of potential. She says the one memory of playing golf she will always remember is breaking par for the first time. "It was at the Surf Club in Myrtle Beach, S.C, I hit the ball really well and shot a 67 overall Krasny said. Krasny says the one part of her game that she works on the most is her putting. She goes out on the course for about three or four hours a day practicing her putting and hitting range balls. She also says sometimes she practices up to 60 hours a week. All of this practice will be necessary though if she plans to reach some of the goals which she has for herself. "I would love to win an NCAA tournament title someday Krasny said. "My ultimate goal though would be to " would love to win an NCAA tournament title someday My ultimate goal though would be to turn pro. I think that would be exciting Jessica Krasny Freshman, ECU Golf turn pro. I think that would be exciting Krasny attended Bishop England High School in Charleston. Recruit- ers from the College of Charleston, Wof- fard College and the University of South Carolina were all interested in Krasny coming to play for them. Krasny though decided to come and play for ECU after Head Coach Kevin Williams paid a to visit. "Jessica was very highly recruited out of high school Williams said. "I think she was excited that we were starting a first year program Everything has started out great for Krasny in her first year. The coaches on the team have been very happy with what they have seen. Assistant coach Sally Hammel has been very impressed. "Overall she has been very productive and consistent Hammel said. "We could not be more pleased to have her on our team Williams mentions the kind of impact she has had on the team. "She is in the top 100 in the country Wil- liams said. "She has also finished in the top 10 in four of our tournaments this year After deciding to come and play for the golf team, Krasny went to play at a tournament this past summer. She played at he Serrano Golf Course in California. "It was the best course that I have ever played on Krasny said. "The course was in great condition. They really spend a lot of time taking care of the course The coaches on the team have been very happy with what they have seen. Hammel has been very impressed. "Overall she has been very productive and consistent Hammel said. "We could not be more pleased to have her on our team There is a life outside of golf though for Krasny. She is currently majoring in communica- tions and says she would like to become involved in journalism sooner or later. Krasny also enjoys swimming and surfing at some of the local beaches around Charleston. She loves to watch golf on television as well, and says her favorite golfer is Fred Couples. But reminds everyone though, that the majority of her time is spent on the golf course. Krasny has played very well on a golf team that has seven freshmen and only one junior. Do not be surprised If the name Jessica Krasny pops up on a women's pro tour .someday.
