The complete quilt is made up of smaller panels each made by friends and family of AIDS victims. The quilt was started in San Francisco, Cali. in 1987 and has since grown to the size of over 47 football fields. "They wanted to construct a memorial for people who died of AIDS said Ernest Daily, historian for Allied Blacks for Leadership Equality (ABLE). Over the summer Daily came up with the idea of bringing the panels to ECU after reading that over 63 percent of AIDS victims Iwrween the ages of 13 and 24 are African-American even though they only constitute 13 percent of the United States population. He decided to write letters asking each campus student organization for a donation of $50 to help cover the total cost of $535 for the four panels. Fletcher Hall was one of only two organizations to contribute. "I sent over 216 letters and only one person responded Daily said. "I just took it upon myself to raise at least $50 to get the AIDS Quilt here said Patrice Jones, Fletcher Hall Council treasurer. During Homecoming week she initiated a spirit link contest in her hall. For the contest, students attempted to make their floor's paper chain the longest by buying the most links. Jones said her high school use to raise money in this fashion. "I'm happy for Fletcher Hall, but I'm not happy that we're the only hall to raise money she said. Fletcher raised $176 in all. "Some organizations I know were just probably being lazy Daily said. "Some didn't have the money. Some just forgot Beth Credle, director of health education and promotion at Student Health Services (SHS) and co- chair for SHS's committee for AIDS Awareness Week, is disappointed in the lack of interest from student organizations. "HIV is not in the media like it used to be so people think it's gone away Credle said. "It hasn't gone away The number of HIV cases in Pitt County ranks close to that of Mecklenburg and Wake counties, two of the most populated counties in North Carolina. This is because all HIV patients who receive treatment at Pitt County Memorial Hospital are included in Pitt's statistics, according to Credle. ABLE agreed to pay the application fee of $150, and Student Government Association (SGA) Chief of Staff Patrice Jones, Fletcher Hall Council treasurer, helped raise $176 by organizing a spirit link program in her residence hall. Ernest Daily, Allied Blacks for Leadership Equality historian, sent letters to every campus organization asking for donations to help bring four panels of (he AIDS Memorial Quilt to ECU. Only two organizarions responded. Michael Aho made a personal donation of $100. Black Student Union has agreed to pay the remaining $109. "I threw a little money that way to help Aho said. "Even $25 for this type of thing would help The panels are to be displayed at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 29 in Men- denhall Student Center. Daily hopes the presentation of the panels will include speeches by the Chancellor Richard Eakin and the mayor of Greenville. The sponsors will be on-hand to take donations of new panels to add to the AIDS Quilt. "Hopefully it will be bigger next year Daily said. "I think it puts a bit of personable approach to AIDS Aho said. "Kind of in the real world, real person sense AIDS Awareness Week is Nov. 27-Dec. 1. Several booths and presentations, including a step dance and a theatrical presentation, will be on campus. This writer con be contacted at fountainhead@tec.ecu.edu. The AIDS Memorial Quilt is made up of 44,000 colorful panels memorializing the life of a person who lost their life to AIDS. Each panel, measuring 12 feet by 12 feet, is available for schools, organizations and individuals around the world to display in exchange for a donation, (top photos by John Stowe; bottom photo from World Wide Web) wo studen assaulted Victim sustains injury; police continue search for suspects Presidential winner undecided Lex Wilson STAFF WRITER Two crimes occurred near campus the ing of Sunday, Nov. 12.

T Federal judge refuses to stop Florida manual vote recounts MIAMI, Florida (CNN)-Vice President Al Gore's legal team in Flor- ida moved into state court Monday to block Florida's secretary of state from ending the vote certifi- cation process Tuesday afternoon. Volusia County, one of four Florida counties seeking to recount ballots by hand, filed suit this morning to extend the Tuesday deadline, which Florida Secretary of State ?Catherine Harris said she would uphold based on the requirements of Flor- ida election laws. Harris' early morning announcement appeared to lay the groundwork for resolving Florida's dis- puted election by Satur- day-provided all pending courtroom challenges fail or are withdrawn. If state election law is followed, Tuesday's certification will be followed by a Satur- day deadline for count- ing absentee ballots, and Florida then would issue a final vote count. Each man needs only Florida's electoral votes to win the White House. The Gore campaign joined Volusia's court challenge Monday after- noon, and representatives of Republican presiden- pher, appearing before reporters in Tallahassee, the state capital, said the Gore camp had hoped to avoid court action, but now felt it had no other choice. "The Florida secretary Each man needs only Florida's electoral votes to win the White House. tial candidate George W. Bush's legal team entered the case on Harris' side. Palm Beach County, the center of the debate over Florida's ballots, also joined the Volusia County suit Monday after- noon. Palm Beach officials hoped to begin their own manual recount Tuesday morning. Former U.S. Secretary of State Warren Christo- of state has compelled us to appeal to the courts ourselves said Christo- pher, who is overseeing the Florida recount on Gore's behalf. "We intend to seek a court order not to deny the counting of votes, but rather to allow lawful counting to go to its full completion A short time later. Gore made a rare post- election appearance to urge patience with the Florida process. While he did not mention the diz- zying array of legal devel- opments in the Sunshine State, he did say he hoped the democratic process would be allowed to move forward without obstruc- tion. "That is what I am focused on Gore said. "Not the contest, but our democracy. I would not want to win the presi- dency by a few votes cast in error or misinterpreted or miscounted, and I don't think Governor Bush does either Gore's team of law- yers upped the ante in the disputed state a short time after a federal judge in Miami ruled against a request by Bush's presi- dential campaign to end manual vote recounts in four Florida counties. U.S. District Judge Donald Middlebrooks issued his ruling early Monday afternoon. Bush's legal team is now likely to appeal the decision to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta. Bush's legal team filed a weekend motion seek- ing a halt to any manual recounts on the grounds See NESBiNTML page 2 2 The East Carolinian www.theeastcarolinian.com NEWS Tuesday, November 14, 2000 news?tec.ecu.edu Tuesday, Is www.thee; PRESIDENTIAL from page 1 that they are less reliable than automated counts. We understand what the court did said Theodore Olson, an attorney for the Bush campaign. "We appreciate the fact that the judge listened. He thought it was something that would be pursued by a higher court Olson hinted that the campaign may appeal the ruling. Laurence Tribe, the attorney for Vice President Al Gore's campaign, described Middlebrooks' ruling as "fairly normal and standard "It's important because the president of the United States turns on this Tribe said. "But we didn't make any new law today With a possible Republican appeal pending and with the Volu- sia court action still unresolved, it was unclear how Middlebrooks' ruling would affect the ongoing recounts. Palm Beach County wants to begin what is estimated to be a six-day manual recount on Tues- day, meaning it has no chance of making the certification deadline if it pursues a manual recount. But Michael McDermott, Volusla County's canvassing committee chairman, said his county was making tremendous progress on its recount. "I think it is reasonable to assume we could have a definitive recertification of all the ballots by midday tomorrow McDermott said. "If we are able to certify before the statutory deadline, we would dismiss our lawsuit he said.

It reminds us that the epidemic still rages. It serves as a tangible reminder of people who died and are still dying because no one knows how to cure them. People seem to have forgotten about AIDS. For the longest time it was all anyone talked about, every fancy gown at the Oscars was decorated with a little red ribbon, and the nightly news regularly lead with a story about a new drug to treat HIV. It was the next great epidemic of our time. But then we lived through it, and we found out how to avoid gelling il, and we put it in the back of our minds until that sudden morning-after fear that dissipates with a visit to the doctor. That's why the AIDS Quilt is so important It reminds us that the epidemic still rages. It serves as a tangible reminder of people who died and are still dying because no one knows how to cure them. Everyone should see the panels when they come to our campus, if for no other reason than as a reminder to be careful. Maybe next year more than two student organizations will think it worthwhile to contribute. Maybe people will start to care again about a disease that we once feared was an updated version of the Black Plague. Maybe we will all mourn a little for those who wasted away in hospital beds as doctors stood at a loss for what to do. Maybe we will forget the stigma too many people associate with the disease. We can all learn a lesson from Michael Aho, Student Government Association's chief of staff. While over 200 student organizations on this campus ignored, for whatever reason, the request for donations, Aho gave $100 of his own money. Or Fletcher Hall, who actually made the AIDS Quilt a week-long fund- raising project. Or Earnest Daily, member of Allied Black for Leadership Equality (ABLE), who thought up the idea. It has taken him months of solid work to bring us this remind of lost life. We should all hope to be so unselfish. But even if we have no money and no time, we at least have our ability to remember. When this quilt comes we should pass through Mendenhall Studnet Center and think about something other than ourselves for a while. Bush Buchanan Gore Nader (c 2000 Mike Collins, Talerhrainscum Meluba JmmUmatt IN MYOPINION Turning deaf ear won't cure ignorance LETTER TO THE EDITOR Better solutions for crime prevention Dear Editor, Campus security officers refused to escort me to my car Monday, Oct. 30, even though it was pitch black and there have been recent incidents of assault on women in this neighborhood. The officer on the phone said they offered escort service to the edge of campus only and anything off campus is out of campus security jurisdiction. He offered no alterna- tives. Rape is a crime preventable by awareness. I would suggest your department broaden its thinking regarding prevention. You must work around your jurisdiction limitations. In this case, perhaps volunteer male students could provide an escort off campus. Ignoring the problem makes the university liable for civil suits and your conscience liable for the responsibility of a preventable crime. I am forwarding this to others who share this responsibility in the hopes they can help you to better this situation. Wanda LaMontagne University of Cincinati, (IMS Campus)-I am a racist. Until a few weeks ago, I thought I was beyond that disgusting sense of ethnocenlrisni that enables the separatism of our human race by the color of skin. It turns out I was wrong. A friend and I were speaking with our server at a restaurant about its reputation of a less-than- dean dining area. This server was as friendly as she could be, and freely admitted to the validity of the reputation. She tried to displace the blame and said the staff "just couldn't keep up" with the clientele. I thought she meant rowdy teen-agers until she lowered her eyes and said with a smile, "And it's not just the blacks, either. It's the punk-rockers, too After lifting my jaw from the table, 1 ignored the server and sat stunned for a minute. Certainly, this was not the first time someone made a racist remark in my pres- ence, but this time something was different. My friend squinted his eyes, raised his eyebrow, dropped his chin and tilted his head slightly to the right: the universal look when hearing something so incred- ibly ignorant one must pause to recover. After a few moments for shock comparison, my friend said, "Do they think that just because I'm white it's okay to say that to me?" I was not sure which statement stunned me more. When people 1 know utter these types of remarks, I argue with them, but with strangers, I've always ignored the situation, thinking that by remaining silent I was actually saying something. "Maybe I'm just non-confrontational I thought. I tried to convince myself I was right not to say anything, that it was the smart thing to do. Then a few weeks later at an area McDonald's, I realized my silence was not a form of protest but tacit consent. I was waiting for my order when two white men placed a large order. After five minutes of wait- ing, the men started to become annoyed. Soon, one of the men peered behind the counter into the kitchen. He saw a group of more than 10 people standing around with only one man working. The guy mumbled under his breath, looked at me and said, "Look at all those brothers back there watching that one brother work My jaw didn't drop, and I didn't ignore him as 1 normally would have. Instead, I asked him a simple question, "Do you think because I'm white that I'm not offended by your remarks?" The man started to smile that awkward kind of smile where you realize you've made an idiot of yourself, then he became flustered. He demanded a refund, he said, because he waited too long. His friend said, "We'll just get our money and go to the McDonald's by your house I felt an overwhelming sensa- tion of relief as he left the store, but I realized the true implications of my actions when a teen-ager said to me, "I've never heard a white person stick up for us to another one before I realized those times when I said nothing others may have interpreted my silence as consent Speak up. IN MYOPINION Stauut RaAey Election something to laugh about LETTER TO THE EDITOR Unfair treatment for Alston's mistake Dear Editor, In regards to the opinion writ- ten about Richard Alston, 1 really and truly can not believe that this person is so outraged because of what he has done. It's pretty obvious that she should really know what she is talking about before she puts some- thing in the paper. Are you mad at Richard because he refused to go out with you or something? She made the comment that if she did it, who would bail her out? Well, my dear, do you go to practice six days a week for four to five hours at a time, do you help bring in millions to the University? I am sure you do not, so in the meantime, yes you are on your own. Why must someone "hate on" another because of the way his particular situation is handled. Don't you think it's ridicule enough to have your picture on the news for three nights straight, making the front page of school newspaper as well as the city paper. And if that was you, I bet you would not have been ridiculed as much either. Why add fuel to the fire, just mind your business. Gwen Crisp Office Assistant, Nursing AUUoh A. Melia IN MYOPINION Stillvvater, Okla. (U-WIRE)-This election has shown a few faults in our system for electing a president. The front pages of many of the world's major newspapers, such as the London limes, featured the election of supposedly the most democratic country on Earth. We have often pressured other countries to have proper and free elections for president, even though we have major flaws with our own methods. After the press prematurely announced Bush as the winner of the popular election, several world leaders called to congratulate him. Imagine how they felt after finding he wasn't the winner at the time. The Electoral College is respon- sible for the election of our presi- dent. Written into the Constitu- tion, it was a form of compromise between those framers who sup- ported the Congress electing the president and the people electing the president. Most of the framers didn't trust the intelligence of the people (and who could blame them, more than half didn't support the American Revolution), so they begot the Electoral College. The word "elector" is even syn- onymous with non-democratic systems. The Holy Roman Empire, which at its peak owned Germany, Austria, Spain and most of the New World, elected the emperor by various barons and other small territorial rulers called electors. How the electoral vote works is fairly simple when illuminated to the American populace, but most people refuse to admit its truth. I was involved in an argument recently with an elder of mine contending that the Electoral Col- lege is what chooses our votes. He sadly refused to believe my genius. The truth is, though, that the Elec- toral College does decide who is president. The head of each party in the state appoints the electors representing that party. Then we, the voting people of America, vote for the electors (by- selecting the candidate we wish would win the presidency) who in turn, vote for the president. The last president who won the election and not the popular vote was Benjamin Harrison in 1888. Grover Cleveland beat him in the popular vote with 5.54 million votes as compared to 5.44 million. The electoral vote was 168 votes for Cleveland to 233 for Harrison. Two other times prior to this it happened as well. Bewitched, bothered and bewildered Cambridge, Mass. (U-WIRE) -What's scarier than the kid who wore a Scream mask to section on Halloween? Granted, not much. But accusations of witchcraft certainly rank up there. While such charges probably evoke images of seventeenth-cen- tury New England, incredibly, they persist even today. The American Civil Liberties Union of Oklahoma filed a lawsuit Oct. 26 against Tulsa school officials, claiming that they violated a 15-year-old student's civil rights when they suspended her in December 1999 for allegedly casting a spell on a teacher and making him sick. The eighth-grader, Brand! Black- bear, practices Wlcca, a non-Chris- tian religion which is predicated upon nature and the seasons of the year. In addition to suspending her, her school also confiscated her private journal and forbade her from wearing or drawing any Wiccan symbol in school. In its lawsuit, the school main- tains that Blackbear, who formerly had a sterling record, has become a pariah among her peers and has fallen behind in her schoolwork as a result of the allegations. Brandi's father, Timothy Black- bear, told the press that "it's hard for me to believe that in the year 2000 I am walking into court to defend my daughter against charges of witchcraft brought by her own school Hard to believe? More like absurd. Not only have Blackbear's civil rights, particularly her right to freedom of religion, been egre- giously violated, but the case has proven her school thoroughly inept. What is taught in middle-school classrooms is certainly not all that is learned there. Teachers and other adults whose profession is guiding these students should realize that these years are also some of the most important for self-discovery and experimentation. For most, these years are hellish due to extreme Insecurity, and it Is the role of teachers and parents to guide and support these young adults through these difficult times. School officials certainly did not need to exacerbate Blackbear's feel- ings of isolation by alienating her and encouraging her classmates to follow suit. Religious persecution is not simply part of the typical teenage angst that everyone has to deal with. Hopefully Blackbear, who has been described as a "sensitive young woman will come out of this ordeal relatively unscathed. It is Important to note, in light of this perversion of justice, that "unusual" young people can and do develop into functional adults. Surely there are many students here at our fine University who had rocky early teen years, perhaps thanks to a penchant for grunge rock or even an unnatural affinity for medieval literature. A literal witch hunt to eliminate uniqueness among youth would only restrict the many innovations their creativity has so often brought to our society. Kevin Jlaidif Michigan (U-WIRE)-The polit- ical pundits were left guessing throughout Election Day as the story of the next president unfolded. The political buzz on campus was much of the same. The typical student voter pressed a sticker with an American Flag against his or her chest that read "I voted asking, "I wonder who will win?" to a friend exiting another booth. Everyone played a game of pick- ing favorites, guessing states and wondering if his or her vote made a difference. Battleground states had become war zones leaving both Republican and Democratic parties vying for every electoral vote. If anyone learned anything about American politics Tuesday night, they were taught by the Electoral College, which early on, sided with Vice President Al Gore while Texas Gov. George W. Bush grabbed a majority of states. IN MYOPINION Fuzzy race was exciting It was a game of political tennis with little love and lots of fault in predicting key states that only added to a see-saw presidential contest. Bush had made an early surge as he grabbed every state straight south of North Dakota-states the Texas governor was guaranteed.Gore started closing the gap by picking New York, Michigan, Illinois and Pennsylvania. Geographically it was what analysts had been predicting-Bush would be strong in the South, the plains states and much of the West. Gore would be the favorite in the Northeast-the rest was a guess. Battleground states like Michi- gan and Ohio would go different ways, keeping the contest impos- sible to predict early on. Deemed the closest presidential contest since President John F. Kennedy triumphed over President Richard Nixon in 1960, Tuesday's presiden- tial battle was exciting. It was American politics at its best. The founding fathers created a country that could hold an election with an American theme intact. Americans have always been In love with a close race, grassroots politics and candidates fighting for votes down to the last minute before precincts started closing their doors. Earn the respect of the people by working for their votes and they'll respond with their support. Gore grabbed Michigan only after practically spending every other day in October in the state-Bush took Ohio. As the final chapter is written and candidates rest from a gruel- ing electoral process, a story will tell that hard work pays off for candidates and not for political strategists-as politics sometimes can be fair game.

Like many Americans, the students said they now understand why every vote counts. They receive a majority of their information about politics from classes, (photo by John Stowe) Students speak about their role in this presidential election Maura Buck rCATURCS EDITOR In the wake of this presidential election, stu- dents who voted for the first time are being spoiled with a truly exciting election year. As the world watches this unpreCede'nted struggle for the Oval Office we also witness first I.ady Hillary Rodham Clinton's election to office as Senate representa- tive for New York. TEC recently sat down with 17 ECU freshmen, all undeclared majors, to find out their reaction to this year's election. TF.C: Did you ever imagine that you would take part in a presidential election such as this? Lisa Mailings: No, I really didn't. I remember the election lour years ago and my mom went out to vote that evening and by the time she got back, I already told her that Clinton was president. It was really interesting to stay up until I a.m. and still not know. Will Epperson: I thought that this election was really exciting because the whole time I thought liush was going to blow Core) out of the water. But now it shows that Core is in the lead a little bit, and we don't know what will happen. TEC: Were you happy with the candidates that represented the two primary parties? Ian Altschul: I think that it's become too business- like. I chose the Green Party candidate, Ralph Nader, because I think that if he had the money that the other two had, I think that he would be right up there with them as far as publicity. TEC: Do you think that it's fair that the president is chosen based upon electoral college votes as opposed to the popular vote? Mainly White: I don't think that it's fair because it obviously doesn't represent what everyone wants. Our country isn't all the way behind one candidate. TF.C: Did you realize the impact that your personal vote had before the election? Mandy Brooks: I didn't realize it. I think that now that people see that it does make a difference, they may wish that they had taken part. TF.C: Why did those who voted choose to vote? Courtney Mangum: I have always known that I would take part in every election that 1 could. I have always felt like everyone should. John English: I voted for the same reasons that she did. It's (ust the way that my parents raised me. Lisa Mailings: I took advantage of voting early with an absentee ballot over Fall Break so I could take part. TEC: Why didn't you vote? Will Epperson: I didn't vote and I hated that I didn't vote but I didn't know what I had to.do to actually do it. TEC: Where do you, as college students, get most of your information about the parties, candidates or policies? Terrell Shropshire: I learned a lot in class. We watched the debates. We talked about the candidates' policies and we read articles about them. TEC: It seems like in this election, the candidates made themselves very accessible to popular entertain- ment. Do you feel this is something that is appropriate, that is, for a presidential candidate to go on late-night TV? Jen Brown: It just seemed awkward to me. Maybe they thought that that's what they needed to do to get across to some people. 1 watched the shows and I could honestly say I made a decision from the things I read off the Internet and saw on the debates.

One organization on campus exists to supply an alternative to other popular destinations. Alternative Spring Break (ASB) gives stu- dents the opportunity to use their Spring Break to benefit soci- ety. According to Jell Novak, ASB coordina- tor, students perform short-term projects for community agencies and learn about issues such as literacy, pov- erty, racism, hunger, homelessness and the environment. "The objectives of the program are to involve college students in community-based service projects and to give students the opportunities to learn about the problems faced by members of communities with whom they otherwise may have had little or no direct contact Novak said. The cost is $100, which covers transportation and meals. In addition, there are fund-raisers planned for the months ahead to reduce the cost for students. ASB is funded by University Housing Services and Aramark, food distributor for ECU Dining Services. ECU first started the program two years ago. Last year, three trips were put together. A total of 36 students and four advisers traveled to Atlanta, Ga Washington, D.C. and Boca Raton, Ha. This year, there will In; trips to Atlanta, Washington, D.C, Nashville, I'enn. and possibly Columbus, Ga. According to Phil McDaniel, ASB adviser, students in each location have a different set of tasks. While in Washington, D.C. or Atlanta, students work with five diverse organizations to help the cities in various ways. One day can be spent assisting at a nursing home while the next can involve working along- side homeless mothers and children. In Nashville, students help construct handicap accessibility ramps for private homes. Last year in Georgia ECU students worked with students from other cam- puses and Habitat for Humanity to constnict low-income housing for those who could not otherwise afford hous- ing. "When 1 was in college, I traveled to Nashville as part of an Alternative Spring Break program which is a big part of why I am involved here Novak said. "There is something truly special about working with people for a common goal. You realize how lucky you are while you become close to others around you "There is something truly special about working with people for a common goal.

Students who took part in the pro- gram last year were given the opportunity to see attractions such as the CNN Center, the Coca Cola Museum, the Atlanta Underground, the White House, NBA basketball games. Universal Studios and the Holocaust Museum. "It is our hope at ASB to educate and heighten students' social awareness and to encourage life-long social action Novak said. McDaniel feels that the program's existence is invaluable. "One of the best things about ASB is that it forces you to trust others McDaniel said. "Today, we live in a world where people don't want to trust other people and so you don't want to help other people.

He is best known as the renowned author of six novels, his most popular being The Final Passage, and his most recent haunting best seller The Nature of Blood. He hails from Amherst where he serves as writer in residence, and has been Henry R. Luce Professor of Migration and Social Order at Barnard College, Columbia University in New York. An honorary Oxford graduate, a prolific reviewer and essayist, Caryl Phillips is also the author of several plays, of scripts for radio, television and currently the cinema. He is the editor of the Faber Caribbean Series, and his latest edition is The Right Set, a tennis anthology released in June 1999. His other writing accomplishments include two book-length travel essays The European Tribe (1987) and The Atlantic Sound (2000). Among his most outstanding achievements for which he has received major awards, are six novels: The Final Passage (1985), A State of Independence (1986), Higher Ground (1989). Cambridge (1991), Crossing the River (1993). and The Nature of Blood (1997L Each uniquely crafted Literary masterpiece addresses a deep sense of moral responsibility to the history that has produced him and which has all too often either been silenced partially represented. At the essence of his writing lies a deep understanding of the impact of exile on the culture and psyche of the West Indies, and to manifest that Caribbean migration is in effect, a part of British history. or Wednesday, November 15, 2000 at 7:00 p.m. Mendenhall Student Center Room 244 Opening with a Special Dramatic Presentation by The Thespians of Diversity Reception Immediately Follows Sponsored by: The English Department, The Multicultural Literature Program, Ethnic Studies, Equal Employment Opportunity Office, Ledonia Wright Cultural Center and the Honer Program For more information, Please contact Dr. Gay Wilentz at (252)328-6678 W Tuesday, November 14, 2000 www.theeastcarolinian.com SPORTS The East Carolinian 7 sports@tec.ecu.edu SPORTSBRIEFS Martinez wins AL Cy Young Boston Red Sox ace Pedro Martinez made baseball history Monday when he became the first player in the American League to win three straight Cy Young Awards.

With an open field in front of him, William- son returned the ball six yards and took a knee, avoiding an almost certain score. Williamson may have figured that the 42-point margin of victory the Pirates would get would be enough. Saturday, ECU secured a winning season, keeping their slim conference title hopes alive with a con- vincing win over Hous- ton. "We really needed to come out and put some points on the board said quarterback David Gar- rard. "We needed to come out and help our defense and we did The 62-point perfor- mance by the Pirates came following a tem- pered opening by both teams. The two teams began slowly. After five punts and a blocked field goal, the Pirates' kicker Keith Stokes blew open the game with a 59-yard punt return. "i caught it and my thing is that I always want to make-the first person miss Stokes said. "After that our blockers are great, so great blocking makes a great player so it's not really me back there, it's all on them. They just led me to the end zone With the Cougars still smarting from the Stokes return, the Pirate defense held them to a punt. Stokes was corralled on the return, but on the first play from scrimmage, Gar- rard connected with wide reciever Marcellus Harris for a 69-yard touchdown strike and the rout was on. "It was a play we worked on all week, know- ing they were going to play man-to-man the "We needed to come out and help our defense and we did whole game with their free safeties coming up to stop the run Harris said.

Running back Leonard Henry ran in from 8 yards out and punter Kevin Miller added a 37-yard field goal to cap a 24-point explosion in the second quarter. The third quarter saw senior tight end Rashon Burns score on a 14-yard pass from Garrard and Miller add another field goal. In the fourth quarter, the Cougars got on the board with a 40 yard touchdown pass from Teague to Shawn Broadus. The Cougars scored again when league found Brian Robinson for a 6-yard touchdown strike. Teague threw one more touch- down pass later in the quarter to Mark Hopkins. In the fourth quarter, "Weflry added two more touchdowns of three and 33 yards to notch three scores on the day. "Leonard has been steady all year long and he deserves all kinds of credit Logan said. The win erases much of the sour taste left by the team's loss to UAB two weeks ago. Following their final off weeks of the season, it also marks the start of the final three- week span of the season. Next week the team goes to West Virginia and follows that up with a trip to Hattiesburg, Miss, and a pivotal game with Southern Miss. "In November it doesn't have anything to do with football Logan said. "It has every- thing to do with will you finish. Will you refuse to be denied.

ECU finished 13th out of 28 competing teams at the 10,000-meter meet, hosted by Furman University in Greenville, S.C. "This was the guys' highest finish said Head Coach Len Klepack. "However, Justin England was the highlight England finished fourth overall with a time of 30:48 and set a milestone for ECU at the regional level. He is also the first Pirate to ever earn a spot in the National Championship. "He made history running for ECU Klepack said. "The talent level in the Southeast is one of the best and we should feel excited. You're just proud that you made it he said. England finished 11 seconds behind Duke's individual champion Terry Brennan, who won with a time of 30:37. Duke's Sean Kelly finished second and William & Mary's Ed Moran finished third. "It feels great knowing that I am the first to do this for ECU England said. "1 put in a lot of hard work over the past five years and this just really feels great England said that he plans to run better than he did at the Regionals but, according to him, he has already won. "I'm just honored to be there England said. England will next compete in Ames, Iowa at the NCAA Championship on Monday, Nov. 20. Also for the Pirates, senior Stu Will finished second on the team and 41st overall with a time of 32:14. Senior Steve Arnold was 86th overall with a time of 33:29 and fellow senior J.D. Sullivan was 106th in 34:08. Sophomore Craig Littlefield was 124th in 34:42 and freshman Ryan Strohl finished in 34:55. Klepack did see room for improvement. " 1 think there needs to be mote summer mileage for next year and being better prepared could definitely build up our confidence he said. He went on to say that the men's team will be losing a lot of seniors, including England, next year and that the main point for them will be the same as for the women's team. "We need a better base coming in he said. Junior Abrial Hayes and sophomore Kay Livick led the ECU women's cross country team to a 20th place finish out of 26 teams at the NCAA Regionals. Livick, who has led the team in seven of eight races this season, placed 89th out of 188 runners in the 6,000-meter course with an overall time of 24:06 to lead ECU. Abial Hayes finished second on the team with an overall time of 24:22 and placed 103rd overaJL "We did ok Hayes said. "We're very young and building up. Personally, I did alright. I just need to train a little bit harder "The women's team did better than last year Klepack said. "Abby and Kay ran very well and this team as a whole is young and aggressive. Although they have been improving, the one thing that they could improve on the most is to have a better base coming in This writer can be contacted at sports@tec.ecu.edu. Mikulas leads Pirates past California All-Stars Pirates notch first exhibition win 87-83 Ryan Rockwell STAFF WRITER ECU beat all odds in Friday's exhibition matchup with the California Midwest All-Stars, upsetting them with a score of 87-83. The Pirates overcame a 15-point deficit with just eight minutes remaining in the contest. ECU took their first second-half lead on a Travis Holcomb-Faye drive with just 45 seconds remaining. After a high energy first half the Pirates led 45-43. Neither team shot the ball particularly well in either half. However, the fast pace of the game allowed for easy transition buckets at both ends. ECU Head Coach Bill Herion says the team is look- ing to push the ball more and get points in transition, a dramatic change from previous men's teams. The All-Stars dominated the first 12 minutes of the second half, however, turning ECU'S 20 turnovers into easy opportunities at the other end. However, the All-Stars did not help themselves either, committing 21 turnovers and losing their scoring touch in the last two and a half minutes of the contest. California did not score during this period. Despite only shooting 36 percent from the field for the game, ECU proved to be the more physical team going to the charity stripe 30 times and making 26 of them. Freshman guard Jimmy Bishop went a perfect 10-10 from the foul line. The undersized Pirates got a slight advantage on the backboards, out rebounding the older and bigger All-Stars 50-46, including 16 boards from 6'5 swingman Vinston Sharpe. The performances of Bishop (19 points) and Sharpe (12 points) loom especially large considering they were inserted into the starting line-up in place of the injured Kenyatta Brown and Erroyl Bing, respectively. Other leaders for the Pirates were sophomore point guard Travis Holcomb-Faye, junior guard Fred Primus and freshman center Gabriel Mikulas. The Pirates put five men in double figures. See BASKETBALL pg 8 Women's basketball team wins exhibition against Lithuania Canady leads Pirates to a 79-63 win "We played a little bit scared. I don't know why, but we did play hard and I am pleased with the effort Richard Clark STAFF WRITER The ECU women's basketball team wrapped up the seasons first win with a business-like 79-63 win over I.KKA Lithuania in an exhibition Friday at Williams Arena in Minges Coliseum. The Pirates got off to a slow start against the winless Lithuanians. ECU trailed throughout the first half, finally going in at the second half tied at 35. During the first half, the Pirates struggled on both ends of the floor. ECU shot 33.3 percent from the floor, while the Lithuanians con- nected on 58.3 percent of their field goal attempts. "In the first half, we were sluggish and weren't ready said senior forward Roc Canady. "I guess we were waiting Dee Stokes Women's Basketball Coach for them to play The Pirates opened the second half at a blistering pace, going on a 20-4 run, sparked by Canady's three point shoot- ing. Canady would finish with a game high 25 points on 10 of 14 shooting. "We had a lot more intensity in the second half said sophomore guard Tali Robich. "We had to get our pregame jitters out of the way Robich, who finished 10 points and 10 rebounds, and senior forward Tamil la Murray were at the forefront of a suf- focating Pirates press that at one point, forced seven consecutive turnovers from the Lithuanians. Murray would finish with 14 points and a team high of four steals. The Pirates second half domination was a total team effort. The Pirates outclassed the visitors in every aspect of the game. ECU followed up a slim 20-19 first half rebounding edge with a command- ing 22-10 advantage on the glass in the See LITHUANIA pg 8 8 The East Carolinian www.theeastcaroiinian.com SPORTS Tuesday, November 14, 2000 sports@tec.ecu.edu BASKETBALL from page 7 Holcomb-Faye got the Pirates rolling with 13 points and six assists, including the game winner. Holcomb-Faye likes the pressure of having the ball in his hands with the game on the line. "I always feel confident. I'm the point guard on this team and should have the ball in my hands said Holcomb-Faye. Primus punched In 15 points, including four three-point baskets. Mikulas gave the team much needed inside help, scoring 19 points and eight rebounds going 5-for-lu from the field and 9-for-10 from the line. "1 try to wait or my time and make good things happen for the team Mikulas said. Watch for the November 30th issue of the Fountainhead! LITHUANIA from page 7 second half.

To stop Magneto, Xavier brings together a special group of mutants called "X-Men" to stop him. In the meantime, two mysterious mutants emerge: Logan, a powerful and aggressive mutant with no past, no memories; and a young girl named Rogue.
