The 24th Annual Great American Smokeout, nationally recognized and sponsored by the American Cancer Society (ACS), is a chance for individuals around the country to give up smoking for a day. The ACS's goal is for all smokers to eventually kick the habit permanently. According to the ACS, more people quit smoking on the day of the Smokeout than any other day of the year, including New Year's Day. "Often times people realize if they can give up cigarettes for a day, maybe they can quit for good said Beth Credle, director of health and promotions at Student Health Services (SHS). At ECU, SHS is doing its part to promote the Smokeout by offering information tables and quit smoking kits all day today at the Student Recreation Center, Todd Dining Hall, the Wright I'lace and SHS. Free sign-ups for Fresh Start Smoking Cessation Classes will also be offered. These classes, which are free to all faculty, staff, students and community members, give smokers who want to quit a chance to understand the psychological reasons behind their addiction as well as emotional support from their peers. too assaults last Sunday related X. 4 t � More Americans quit smoking on the day of the Smokeout than on any other day of the year, according to the American Cancer Society. "The classes) are more to help people counter the psychological addiction and they're usually pretty effective because the classes offer social support for other people who are trying to quit Credle said. The Fresh Start classes also give a few select students an opportunity to help other students quit smoking. Nine sorority and fraternity leaders from 1'heta Chi, I'ao Kappa Epsilon, Kappa Delta and Chi Omega have trained to become Fresh Start counselors. They will return to their respective organizations and impart what they learned. "So far, 34 individuals have gone through the class and have reduced their smoking said Julie Denning, health educator at SHS. SHS has also issued The Great Greek Challenge to all fraternities and sororities. The fraternities and sororities with the most number of people to quit smoking wiJI win $500 in cash for their organization or a donation to a preferred cause. "We test them with a carbon monoxide detector beforehand to see if they really are smokers and then we test them to see if they really did quit after Credle said. The winner of The Great Greek Challenge will be announced at 5:30 p.m. tonight in the Multi-purpose Room in Mendenhall Student Center. All are invited to attend. For more information on Fresh Start Cessation Classes, contact Beth Credle at 328-6794. This writer can be contacted at editon9tececu.edu.

The Greenville Police Department (GPD) believes both incidents to be related since both victims received blows to the head and face, and the incidents occured within 30 minutes of one another. According to police Iiungto assaultec Ing streets while walking home from downtown around 2:40 a.m. Ellington, 20, told police that a blue four- door Honda Accord with four Black, male passen- gers stopped and at least one of the men got out and punched him in his head. Ellington covered his head in defense while the suspect(s) took his wallet and left. Ellington was unable to provide police with a description of the su pects. The second victiii non-student Justin Ma Laura Benedict HEAD COPY EDITOR The Student Government Association (SGA) legislature meet to discuss proposed increase in student fees for the 2001-02 fiscal year Monday, Nov. 13. Each campus organization fills out a fee request form for the next year's budget. Requests that differ from last year are compiled. The proposal for the change is then put before the SGA. The SGA has the option to accept the budget request as is or to change it. The original proposal along with the SGA's proposal are then sent to the ECU Board of Trustees for final approval. The University of North Carolina (UNC) system prefers student fees not to increase more than 5 percent each year. The approved budget for the 2000-01 fiscal year was $1,062. The SGA proposes a total increase of $51 per student, a total of $1,113, was approved by the legislature to help with the up-keep and expansion of eight campus organizations. These increase include: Admit and Commuter Student Service (ACSC) SO to $6 ACSC is originally a State funded program. The program has grown to serve approximately 4,400 students. Funding by the State is no longer sufficiently. An increase of $6 was approved to support programs such: � orientation sessions � programs for freshman commuters � workshops for students wishing to move off campus � resource information of day care, transit, city and county support services � Peer Helper Program � maintaining Web sites and list-serv services � maintaining various publications Athletic department $259 to $269 The athletic department will receive a $10 increase for the funding of inflationary increases for salary benefits, travel, scholarships and equipment. The will also receive funds for capital renewal. Education and Technology fee $82.50 to $90.90 ECU'S Education and Technology fee for the 2000-01 fiscal year is second lowest in the UNC system. A $8 increase would be used to: � purchase software to protect against malicious viruses � File storage space for students with Web access � Partially fund dedi- cated help desk support for students, which consists of about 14 percent of the Help Desk service activities see FEES page 3 ' 2 The East Carolinian www.theeastcarolinian.com Thursday, November 16, 2000 news@tec.ecu.edu $GAHrtu This was an interesting week for SGA, as new strides were made in the procedure surrounding SGA and student fees. At Monday's legislature meet- ing, two hours were spent dis- cussing the "prices" of student fees for fiscal year 2001-02. This year, after the idea of former SGA president Cliff Webster, we met with individual depart- ments requesting fees prior to the legislature meeting. In this way, we could sort out differences before bringing the package to the entire legislative body. The University of North Caro- lina (UNC) system prefers that student fees not be increased more than 5 percent each year. Anything under that amount is considered okay. This year's fee increase package was kept right at the 5 percent mark and was considered to be a very good package Monday. In trying to consolidate stu- dent fee monies, Chuck Hawkins (Financial Services), who was in charge of the discussion, pro- posed that the Student Fund Accounting Office be eliminated and the services be moved to other departments in Menden- hall Student Center (MSC). This change brought a $3 decrease to student fees. MSC proposed a $5 fee increase, which was approved. The $91,000 arising from this increase will be used for basic Michael C. Aho SGA CHIEF OF STAFF operational increases from infla- tion and additional building use, upgrading the Great Rooms, and upgrading air conditioning and controls. Adult and Commuter Stu- dent Services (ACSS), a pro- gram originally funded by State appropriations, needed more funding for this year's budget request. Shelly Myers, ACSS director, brought a $6 increase proposal, which was approved Monday. The office will use the $109,000 for orientation sessions, support programs for freshmen commuters, workshops for student wishing to move off-campus, peer helper program, resource information on day care and the like, maintaining a new Web site and list serv, and maintaining various publications. The l.edonia Wright Cultural Center, represented by Director Nell Lewis, proposed a $2 increase. The Division ofStudent Life budget meeting produced this figure, as well as the student led committee, which met prior to Monday, and all parties agreed to the dollar amount. However, in the legislature meeting, Marcus Frederick gover- nor of the Black Student Union, proposed that the figure be changed to a $5 increase, and this motion passed. In the only heated contest of the meeting, the Cultural Center will now have approximately $90,000 with which to work from student fees. The Center caters to all minority stu- dents and also welcomes all stu- dents. The Student Union Program Board brought a $6 increase pro- posal to the table, which passed through the legislature. Student Union President Adam Mitchell helped present the Board's proposal and explained the $109,000 would be used in bringing big name bands to ECU. A $10 increase was proposed and approved by the athletics department and athletic depart- ment Director Mike Hamrick. The money will be used for inflation and tuition increases, as the department pays approximately 400 students' tuition-and if tuition goes up, so must the scholarship. Part of the money will also be set aside for capital renewal as a bank of money in case something is in need or repair. As our Student Health Service improves its facilities and staff, its budget is in need of some help as well. So, a $6 increase was pro- posed and passed. The money will effectively be used to meet the needs of inflation and expansion, extend service hours, fill new staff positions, and expand the phar- macy. An $8 Educational and Tech- nology Fee increase was proposed and passed, allowing $146,000 of money to be used for software which will protect the student computer system against viruses, idrive.com Internet storage space for each student and a student- only help desk for computer problems. Finally, an $8 Transit Fee increase was proposed and passed near the end of the meeting. Since the Transit system began in SGA and is run by students, it is important for SGA to continue to support the department. The money will be used to help fund new buses, but even still, will not cover the costs of the program. Across the board, ECU ranks quite well throughout UNC- system fees. We are number 9 in student activity fees, number 9 in athletic fees, number 8 in student health fees, number 12 in educational and technology fees and number 4 in debt service. SGA is committed to keeping student fees low, but also realizes the need for slight increases. On another note, congratula- tions to Chi Phi Fraternity for the acceptance of its constitution by the legislature. Also, nine new legislators were sworn in. We still have seats, so stop by Room 255 in MSC or call 328-4726.

After he fell, Matthew said two Black males standing across the street came over and demanded money from him. Matthew gave the suspects his wallet and they left the area. Matthew suffered a broken leg from the incident, however, he did not know if the break resulted from falling, or if he was kicked by the suspect(s). The police are warning students to stay away from unlit areas at night and to walk in groups. "If young people are in the downtown areas and visiting the bars, they may be more vulnerable said Melissa Bartlett, GPD public affairs coordinator. "If at all pos- sible, do not walk alone or at least make someone aware where you are going when you leave Bartlett said if students find themselves in any situation such as these, to comply with the perpetra- tor fully, considering he or she may be under the influence of drugs and more likely to be aggressive. Ellington and Matthew could not be reached for comment. The GPD Is continuing its inves- tigation into these incidents, how- ever, no clear description of the suspects is available. Anyone with additional infor- mation is encouraged to contact the Greenville Police Department at 329-4315.

Today is the 24th Annual Great American Smokeout sponsored by the American Cancer Society, and many Americans will make their first step toward quitting today. With the stress of exams looming in the air, many of us turn to nicotine. Although this may not be the healthiest choice, we at "TEC" believe that smoking is a personal choice. While we know that not all students wish to kick the habit, the ones that do can always use a helping-hand. To those who wish to break their addiction, we suggest attending the Student Health Services (SHS) Fresh Start Smoking Cessation Classes. These free classes offer the psychology behind smoking addiction and why it is hard for many so many Americans, college students included, to stop smoking. The class is structured as a support group so that those individuals will have someone to talk to that is in the same boat as they are. It is nice to know that one campus organization is looking out for the safety of the students, faculty and staff, as well as the Greenville community. Their initiative should be applauded. We also encourage potential quitters to take advantage of the information and smoking cessation kits SHS will be offering today around campus. We would like to thank SHS for their attempt at making this university a bit healthier. We feel that it is important for smokers who want to quit to understand why smoking is such an addictive habit. Hopefully with this understanding they will be more prone to stay away from cigarettes for good. We hope that smokers who would like to quit will take the Smokeout seriously and use it along with the Fresh Start classes as a springboard to a smoke-free lifestyle. To those of you who use today as an excuse to quit, know that we stand behind your efforts and wish you along with millions of other Americans the best. Nihia mU IN MY OPINION Election proves addictive � � LETTER TO THE EDITOR Try opening both deaf ears Dear Editor, A thorough analysis of any issue under discussion would seem to require a complete review of all viewpoints and a measure of objectivity. That being the case, the situa- tion (or situations) described in the Nov. 14 Opinion piece "Turning a deaf ear won't cure ignorance" seem a bit contrived to say the least (or perhaps badly scripted), but, aside from noting this, I am going to limit my letter to a few com- ments about racism in general. In the first place, racism is evil and moronic. Nothing that comes after this should be taken to mean that I am implying otherwise. There is no doubt that racism still exists among many whites in all parts of this nation. The history (some quite recent) of race-based bigotry, intimidation and violence make this all too clear. However, before any genuine attempt can be made to cure this ill (if it can be cured), we have to recognize, as difficult as this will be for some, that racism is not the exclusive province of whites. Having grown up in a housing project in which I was one of only four or five widely scattered white children, I believe lamina position to make some observations about racism among Blacks (at least, here in the South). And I have to say that racism is, unfortunately, just as prevalent among Blacks as it is among Whites, and far more openly expressed. 1 believe that one of the primary reasons for this is that many people (and not just Blacks) have come to equate racism with Whites, and oppression with Blacks, and thus, nothing Blacks do or say can be racist. But it is not that simple, and had I more room here, i would lay out a more extensive argument. It will have to suffice for me to say that it is not enough to open one deaf ear to cure racism; we have to open both ears and hear the anger coming from both sides. Daniel Ketchum Graduate StudentHistory Have you found yourself run- ning to your apartment to see what new developments have arisen? To see if the candidates numbers have changed as the ballots are counted and counted again? The night of the election, that long ago Tuesday night, I had to pry myself away from the TV. I was tired but I kept telling myself, one more hour. I ended up going to bed around t a.m. and not even wanting to then. The next morning, 1 woke up early, turned over, fumbled for the remote, and cut the TV on again and watched it until I had to leave for class at the last possible second. I guess I don't have to tell you that 1 ran home every chance I had between classes to see what transpired while I was away. I became interested in presiden- tial elections when I had to do a report on the outcome of the 1992 election, and how I, along with others, felt when Clinton was first elected to office. One thing has remained consistent, once all of the votes are in and the numbers have finished rolling across the screen, my attention will be turned off just as fast as I can change the channel. Other than casting my vote, the only thing exciting for me about an election is the apprehension and anxiety I feel when I see the numbers for one candidate escalate and the difference between the number of votes for each can- didate grow. Unfortunately, the numbers between Bush and Gore never enlarged enough to tell the difference. I'm not the only one who is addicted to the news coverage of what is going on with the election. In my classes everyone is talking about it. People on TV are talking about it. People in restaurants are talking about it. You can't help but become addicted. At the same time, my addiction turns to anger. It ticks me off to know that 19,000 or so ballots were thrown out because the chad on the ballot didn't fall all the way out or people double voted. Yes, I am for Gore. But I think if the shoe were on the other foot and this was happening to Bush, people would be just as enraged as Gore voters who think they were cheated (and they were) and would want their candidate to have just as fair a chance as the other man. The Republicans push for the recounting to end, but Democrats want it to continue so all of those ballots that were thrown out and are believed to support Gore are as equally represented as Bush's votes. If Bush and all of his supporters believe to the utmost that he will definitely be the next president then why sweat the issue? Let Gore continue to issue recount after recount and make himself look like a fool if it domes down to it. One elderly lady that was inter- viewed was mad because Palm Beach County's votes didn't really count. She said she worked at the local election poll and people were confused by the ballot but the people working the polls couldn't help them. Because of that rule, I'm not sure if it was just enacted at the precinct or all over Florida (it wasn't at the poll I was at), of course, some people are going to miscast their ballot. Yeah, they may have sent out a practice ballot in the paper, but not everyone receives the paper. Not everyone watches TV. And if they're like me, they don't keep up with worldly news anyway. I just really think if the people of Florida are not appeased and calmed down in a respectable manner and with an outcome they agree with, they are going to riot. And I'm not so sure 1 blame them. I might even go join them. Everyone knows they're dis- satisfied with the way things are going. And you know it's bad when a Republican, who voted for Bush, sticks up for Gore: she said she just wants the election resolved in a fair way and she didn't think all the ballots thrown away, which were probably for Gore, was fair. To me, that says it all. I'm just really afraid if the people of Florida are not really listened to, whoever gets in office one way or another, is not going to be really accepted. The people are screaming for equality and a chance for each and every one of their voices to be heard. We're the ones who supposedly elect these guys, and they are sup- posed to act in our best interests. So why aren't they, listening? McM�rtcU IN MYOPINION Apocalypse now for U.S. politics Atilta, BimttumA. IN MYOPINION Madison, Wis. (U-WIRE)-It is' the year 2000, a popular one for apocalyptic visionaries, but there has been no flood. There has been no fire or brimstone, no physical signs that the Day of Judgment is upon us. The sky, while overcast and dark, almost foreboding, is not falling. Yet, there is a feeling our world will never be the same. The identity of the next presi- dent will not in itself have the most significant impact. People have said Bush and Gore may be the two most indistinguishable candidates in recent memory, at least in terms of policy, and the closeness of the congressional split assures any sweeping reform is highly unlikely. Logically, Americans should not care that much about the result of the election, no matter how slim the margin of victory. But this election, with all its see-saw drama, possible disparity between the electoral and popular vote, allegations of ballot fraud and the fact that the presidency will be decided by a relative thimbleful of people in a state known mostly for retirement communities, drug problems and family vacations, will impact everyone in this country for the rest of their lives. The outmoded Electoral Col- lege, in all likelihood, will be abol- ished. If Bush wins as expected, the idea of the popularly elected president not winning the presi- dency, an idea incongruous with our founding principles, if not our Constitution, will cause an outcry for reform. Many people already thought it was archaic and undemocratic. Now, they will have ammunition for action. And if a couple of those electors dare to change their votes, the bullets will surely fly. The voting process itself will inevitably change following deba- cles in Florida and Missouri, at least with a nationally consistent ballot format and possibly with computers replacing booths at polling places. Only then could we be assured people in a heavily Jewish district do not accidentally vote for Pat Buchanan; only then will our future not be put on hold while unpaid volunteers with their own preju- dices count ballots by hand. The possibility of establishing a third party is also over, at least In the near future. Ralph Nader's current status as the deciding factor in Florida was like the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor: While it seems a big victory for him right now, it means the ultimate death of his party. The Democratic Party will react with a shift to the left, away from Clinton centrism, to capture the Green vote in future elections. That shift (which, perhaps, Is what Nader supporters really wanted all along), in addition to the backlash against Nader voters and the likelihood of "Nader guilt" among Florida Greens, will crush the party's hopes of becoming a factor in 2004 and beyond. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, any young voters who questioned the value of suffrage have had their doubts quelled resoundingly. Our generation will have this assurance for the rest of our lives, purring our kids to sleep with advice like, "You better vote. I remember back in 2000 Our kids might be bored with the stories, but we will not. The value of a vote has been proven, and we will not forget. For better or worse, we are wit- nessing a crisis of the status quo in America. The Electoral College, the idea of "one person, one vote the ballot- ing system, third-party candidates, political implications of higher voter turnout in the future and the ability for America to survive such a tight vote when many countries would collapse under similar cir- cumstances are all hanging in the balance. The candidates may be similar, but the moment is unique. And for good or bad, the apocalypse projectors were right: This is the end of the world as we know it. Racist sports names must be abolished Fort Collins, Colo. (U-WIRE)-Washington Redskins, Kansas City Chiefs, Florida State Seminoles and the Cleveland Indi- ans are just some examples of the destructive and harmful names that the United States of America continues to spit in the face of Native-Americans. These names continue to subject present-day natives to cruel and unusual punishment. The many Native-Americans of today do have rights, but we, as a society, continue to turn our backs on their wishes. Apparently, human compassion for someone being hurt has no place in the world of sports in this country. These sport team names exploit Native-American ethnicity. To exploit, by definition of Webster's Dictionary, is to "use unfairly Exploitation is taking place and no one is willing to take a stand against it. The use of the names like Chiefs or Braves (Atlanta) is perpetuating the mainstream's view of the people and their culture. It says: "You as a 21st-century Indian do not exist. Only.the biased view of our conception of your ancestors is what matters This is shown by such acts as the tomahawk chop, wearing feath- ers and smoking "peace pipes These acts also say to the Native- Americans, "You are not important enough to us for us to respect you and your sacred rituals Perhaps, because our American society has lost the grasp of what the word sacred means or how to apply it to one's life, we are unable to understand. The histori- cal act of gaining one's feathers in Native-American culture is very important. They just can't be bought at the sports store. The historical act of using a pipe is completely sacred to Native-American religion. In other words, it is sacrilegious for tans to be portraying this act at football games. It's like burning pages from the Bible to pep up the crowd. Why doesn't the NFL start a team called the Louisiana Popes and the fans can all wear "the cloth" and dangle crosses and rosaries? The idea is ludicrous, just as it is to name a team Chiefs. It's demeaning and shows disrespect towards a group of people that the United States has raped, murdered and starved. The word "redskin" is the equiv- alent of the word "nigger It was created to cause degradation and is still not an acceptable word to address someone with. Is there a sports team named New York Nig- gers? Why is there a Washington Redskins? Come on, people, what's wrong is wrong. We need to treat everyone with respect, but that is not happening. Sure, some people might say that I am overreacting to just a football team name. But that's why it should be so easy to change it to something other than a racial slur. It's just a name. Many Native-Americans are continually trying to fight to get these changed, but to no avail. In 1992, the owner of the Redskins was quoted as saying, "We honor Native-Americans Oh, really? What's Ihe honor in being recog- nized by a racial slur in a national setting, while having your sacred religions and ceremonies mocked? Where's the honor in fighting to gain respect or at least a shred of decency all the while being told you are too touchy on the subject? Where's the honor? There is none. The people who continue to support these sports names and logos have none and give none. Not only do we owe the Native- Americans an apology, but we owe them respect. They have the right to be treated with dignity, not as second-class citizens. We should comply with their protests of these sport teams names. It is time to honor Native- Americans with actions, not just words. I 6 The East Carolinian www.theeastcarolinian.com Thursday, November 16, 2000 ads@tec.ecu.edu Count deadline passes, Bush still ahead (U-WIRE) COLUMBIA, Mo.(U. Missouri)The U.S. presidential election further submerged into uncharted limbo when Florida certified the majority of its votes Tuesday night. The official count shows Bush ahead by 300 votes in Florida, where Secretary of State Katherine Harris required all non-absentee votes tabulated by S p.m. EST. The deadline came after a state court threw out a lawsuit by Demo- crat Al Gore's campaign, request- ing an extension in the deadline to allow for a hand recount in predominantly Democratic coun- ties. In his ruling, Florida Circuit Judge Terry Lewis did say, however, that it is up to Harris to decide whether late hand recounts are accepted or rejected. "The secretary of state may ignore such late-filed results, but may not do so arbitrarily the court's report read. Counties have until 2 p.m. Wednesday to submit explanations to Harris explaining why she should consider recounted ballots. An attorney with the Florida Depart- ment of State did not say whether Harris has already decided whether to count the late returns. Only Volusia County, Fla was able to complete a hand recount by the deadline, which the AP reports gave Gore a net increase of 98 votes. Half an hour before the dead- line, the Palm Beach canvassing board decided to proceed with a recount of the county's 420,000 ballots Wednesday at 7 a.m. EST. h I Kil I ill I.H i IK'IV- li .11 K)K ( )iic C hoicc.

Turkeys are being sought out nationwide and stores everywhere are getting ready to accom- modate shoppers in what typically is the busiest shopping day of the year. It seems like Hallow- een was just yesterday, Thanksgiving will be here sooner than one might think and some day next week will be Christmas. The last part of the year usually comes and goes fairly quickly and with little thought. People can get so caught up in the day- to-day grind of finishing .classes, going home to feast and shopping for Christmas gifts that some- times they forget what the holidays really represent. Aside from the numer- ous dramas on television, it can be difficult to truly think of things that one can give thanks for during this holiday season. Some ECU students share what they will remember before they delve into the turkey next Thursday. "I am so thankful for my parents and how sup- portive they are with " am so thankful for my parents and how supportive they are with everything that I do I don't know what I would do without them AsMey Holbrook Junior everything that I do said junior Ashley Holbrook. "1 don't know what I would do without them "I have to at least give some thanks to my boss said senior Adam Dew. "Without her, I would have very little to laugh at and work would be so boring Some students give thanks for the things they have been given. Others give thanks for things they have given up. Some students even gave thanks for quitting smok- ing. Other common responses include "not being arrested "getting a new roommate" and "this semester being almost over A few students are thankful for events in the recent past. "lam thankful that we won the very last home football game that I will ever see as a student said senior Chris Tucker. "It was such a great way to cap off the football season of my senior year, a huge blowout against Houston Junior Tom Warmuth will celebrate his 21st birthday over Thanksgiv- ing break. "I look forward to buying my own drinks when I get back War- muth said. By not becoming swept away with the holiday hustle and bustle one may find small ways to give show appreciation to others. Take time to give an extra thanks to the guy who drives the bus or the girl who picks up books that fell on the floor. Over the holidays, many students will take time to appreciate those around them. "The holidays are such an exciting time of year said Michelle Connor. "I think that it's natural that we take things for granted but the important thing is that we don't forget, especailly this time of year, how thankful we should be.

(AP)-Ruth Simmons' journey from sharecrop- per's daughter to the president of Brown University began the moment she walked into her first classroom. "That first day of school was very magical she said Thursday. "Something terrific happened. I had books to read. I had paper and pencils. That was the beginning of my odyssey Fifty years later, that former young child in hand-me-down clothes found herself speaking to a standing-room-only crowd at Sayles Hall, where she was surrounded by the portraits of former Brown presidents, all of them white men. Simmons, the current president of Smith College, became the 18th president of Brown University on Thursday. In the process, both she and Brown made history. She is the first black person to head an Ivy League institution, and she also is the first woman to head Brown, the second to lead an Ivy- school. Her election marks the end of a nine-month search that began shortly after E. Gordon Gee announced last winter that he was leaving for Vanderbilt University, a move that stunned the Brown community. "It's not only magnificent for Brown but also for the Ivies and all of higher education said Stanley Ikenberry, president of the American Council on Education. "Yes, it is a bold move in some respects, but in others it is delightfully predictable. She has all of the strengths one would expect to find in a college president Simmons seemed a bit taken aback by the lovefest that greeted her in Sayles Hall, where she received four standing ovations from a crowd of 500 faculty, students and staff. "It is impossible for me to stand before you without remembering that I have arrived at this place through the brutally hard and sometimes demeaning labor of humble parents said Simmons, who was born into rural poverty in Grapeland, Texas, the youngest of Chancellor Stephen Robert hugs Brown's new president, Ruth J. Simmons. (TMS photo) "It is impossible for me to stand before you without remembering that I have arrived at this place through the brutally hard and sometimes demeaning labor of humble parents Ruth Simmons President. Brown University 12 children. Simmons, 55, also said she has succeeded thanks to the kindness of strangers, those donors who enabled her to afford a first-rate college education. "They helped me understand that poverty is not a state of mind nor a definition of one's character but merely the condition of one's purse she told the Brown assembly. Then, Simmons delivered the kicker: Universities, she said, exist not to amass wealth but to amass knowledge. "I hope that Brown will play a leadership role in insisting that elite universities remain steadfastly and resolutely the province of excellent minds and not fat purses Simmons didn't pull any punches Thursday. She acknowledged that the uni- versity has been grappling with the contentious issue of diversity, from how to make Brown more affordable to all students to how to make the campus more welcoming to minorities. This is an area about which Sim- mons feels especially passionate, and she promised to play a direct role in how the university implements the report of the visiting committee on diversity. During an interview later in the day, Simmons was frank about how race and racism have shadowed her childhood and her career. "I grew up under Jim Crow segrega- tion she said. "The result was that 1 know how to deal with bigotry. Young people today have not grown up with that. It's a shattering experience for them. It was never a shattering experience for me Racism was a fact of life in rural Texas and in Houston, where Simmons moved when she was 7. It continued when she went to Harvard, where she received both her master's and her doctorate degrees in Romance languages. "When I first went to Harvard, I had a professor who hated me she said. "I think he hated me because I was the best student in his class. He refused to speak to me. That's what people like me faced all the time Simmons tells her students that they have to sort out pure human meanness from classic bigotry. Then, she tells them, you have to learn not to expect more from people than they can realistically give. Brown had to persuade Simmons to leave Smith, an elite women's college in Northampton, Mass where she had a big impact, doubling the endowment, increasing minority applications and creating the first engineering department in a women's college.

Colgate student charged with manslaughter HAMILTON, N.Y(TMS Campus) A 20-year-old Colgate University junior has been charged with four counts of second-degree vehicular manslaughter after the car he was driving while intoxicated spun out of control and killed four passengers-including one Colgate student and two Hobart and William Smith College freshmen. Robert R. Koester was released from fail after posting 10 percent of a $50,000 bond, said Madison County District Attorney Donald Cerio. If convicted on each count of the Class D felony, Koester could face up to 28 years in jail. He was also charged with driving while Intoxicated. Colgate is looking into allegations that Koester had been drinking prior to the accident at Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity where Koester was a member, said university spokeswoman Sarah Jarvis. Koester's exact blood-alcohol level will not be known for weeks, until after a blood test. State police also await results on an Investigation to determine how fast Koester's sport utility vehicle was traveling before it spun out of control. Koester's Jeep Cherokee carried seven passengers before it spun off the road and hit a tree at 1:45 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 11. Three 18-year-old girls and one 20-year-old man were killed in the crash. Koester, who was the only passenger wearing a seat belt, and two other passengers were injured and later released form an area hospital Colgate freshman Katie Almeter, and Hobart and William Smith College freshman Emily Collins and Rachel Nargiso died in the crash. Another 18-year-old woman who was injured was also a freshman at Colgate. All four women had been high school friends. The case will go before a grand jury early next year, Cerio said. Colgate University is located in Hamilton, N.Y and Hobart and William Smith College is located in Geneva about 107 miles west in upstate New York. givmg ATTENTION ECU GRADUATING SENIORS When you apply for graduation you must also submit an institutional evaluation form.

Johnson garnered 22 first-place votes and 133 points in the balloting. Atlanta Braves ace Tom Clavine finished second with 64 points despite picking up 21 wins on the season. Johnson won a Cy Young in the AL with the Seattle Mariners in 1995.

Griese suffered carti- lage damage in the arm earlier this season. The Michigan alum will need off season surgery to fix the problem. Backup Gus Frerotte will get the start Sunday and likely close out the remainder of the season under center for the Broncos. Griese, son of NFL Hall of Famer Bob Griese, led the Broncos on a game-win- ning drive Monday night in their 27-24 win over the Oakland Raiders. Indiana picks up first win The Indiana Hoo- siers opened their season Tuesday and for the first time in almost 30 years, Bob Knight was not there. The Hoosier opened their season in the preseason NIT in Assembly Hall under first-year head coach Mike Davis. The team easily dealt with Pepperdine, the team that handed the Hoosiers a 20-point first round loss in last season's NCAA tour- nament. The Davis-led Hoosiers breezed past the Waves 80-68. Kirk Hasten led all scorers with a career-high 28 points. for emotional trip ECU is coach's final home foe Stephen Schramm SPORTS EDITOR Steve Logan and his team know that the hard part isn't close to being over. After becoming bowl eligible last week- end against Houston, 62-20, the Pirates know that the next two games will determine the outcome of the 2000 season. Saturday, Nov. 18 the Pirates step out of conference to travel to West Virginia. A win would give the Mountaineers a win- ning season and make them bowl eligible. As if that wasn't enough incentive, the game will also mark the end of an era at West Virginia as long- time Head Coach Don Nehlen will be coach- ing his final game in Morgantown before going into retirement. "We've had big games, and this is going to be one of those games that you really have to get up for said senior nose tackle Mbayo Ahmadu. "We know their crowd is really going to be into it. It's going to be Don Nehlen's last game and a historic place and time, so we're just going to have to find a way to rise to the occasion and shut their crowd up Nehlen has spent 21 years on the sidelines for the Mountaineers leading them to 147 wins. He announced his retirement after a 31-27 home loss to Syracuse on Nov. 4. Saturday's game will be the final home game of the season for the Moun- taineers. "How can you prepare for it, what can you say Logan said. "I've got to believe that it's going to be a total sellout in the stands and a sellout emotionally by the West Virginia foot- ball team to play the game in a manor that will send coach Nehlen out a winner. I don't know what to do but go score touchdowns Scoring touchdowns was not a problem for the Pirates last week as they shook off the rust and blew out Houston by 42 points. However, the team will not dwell on what it has already done. "The Houston game is over with said junior flanker Arnie Powell. "Now we've got to focus on West Virginia. We're going to be playing them at their place it's the last game for their coach so their going to play really really hard. So we can't think about Houston any- more, we've got to think about West Virginia The Pirates will face a West Virginia team that runs a similar offense to their own. "They are built like us Logan said. "They are going to run the ball and then throw it long. Their not really into the inter- mediate passing game. "They've got two extraordinary wide receiv- ers he said. "Both of them are 4.44, sub-4.40 guys and its going to test our corners because they can throw it deep. They are a good deep ball team much like we are "We know what their trying to do Ahmadu said. "They have a lot of big guys. They average 6'4" 300 across the top so its no secret what their trying to do. Their going to try to pound the ball. "What we're going to have to do is play aggres- sive he said. "We're not as big as they are but we're faster and quicker and I think we're more aggres- sive Last week's win gave the Pirates six wins and assured them of at least a winning season. It also made them bowl eligible. However, they are just one of five eligible teams fighting over four bowl slots. "We're not in a bowl game yet Logan said. "So we've just got to go in there and win. We've done nothing but position ourselves. We've got a lot of finishing left Football History 101 Saturday's game at West Vlginia will mark the final home game for 21 -year WVU Head Coach Don Nehlen. To help prepare for the game, ECU Head Coach Steve Logan had to give a history lesson to the team. "I took the team aside and had to edu- cate them on who Don Nehlen was and what he has done for the game Logan said. It is appartently not the first time Logan has educated his team on the opponents place in college football history. "When we went down to play Alabama, I had kids who didn't know who Bear Bryant was Logan said. "Some of them thought he was a character from 5moey and the Bandit Powell in backup role Following the arrest and suspension of backup quarterback Richard Alston earlier this season, starting flanker Arnie Powell qui- etly assumed the role of David Garrard's backup. Powell, a former high school quar- terback, has not taken a college snap. "I played quarterback, basically my whole life up untill I got here Powell said. "I hadn't played in about three, three-and-a half years Powell was third on the depth chart all season but garnered more attention as a speedy receiver. Powell has caught 10 passes this season for 195 yards and two touch- See NOTES pgS Soccer team misses record by one game After two extra periods, Pirates were defeated by Hokies Kyle Barnes STAFF WRITER Warner to return soon Former MVP quarterback, Kurt Warner will likely return to action when the Rams pay a visit to the Carolina Panthers on Dec. 3 in Charlotte. Warner has been out since Oct. 22, when he broke his finger against the Kansas City Chiefs. Wamer had surgery on the finger on Oct. 24 and has missed five games. Warner led the Rams to a Champion ship last season and only lost once as a starter this season. The ECU men's soccer team fought extremely hard in the second half to tie the game and force two overtimes, but Virginia Tech took the victory 3-2. Virginia Tech's Ryan Cummins scored the game's winning goal against the Pirates on Senior Day at Bunting Field. ECU was unable to get anything started in the first half, and they took a 2-0 deficit into halftime after a missed penalty kick and two Virginia lech goals. "They scored very early on us in the first half and I think it really set us back on our heels said ECU Head Coach Devin O'Neill. "We just didn't play particularly well in the first half, I think our guys were playing pretty hard, but it took a while for us to get back in the game The Pirates came out in the second half and played with an enormous amount of heart, confidence and determination. In the 55th minute ECU senior defens- men Andy Jennings scored the first Pirate goal of the day, reducing the deficit to one, and giving a well needed boost to the team. "I was kind of in the right place at the right time Jennings said. "We had some runs set up on that play and the ball just fell in. I was really glad to get the goal when I did, pick our team back up, and start coming back in the game Ten minutes later the Pirates would add another goal and tie the game at 2-2, as freshman midfielder Brian Deutsch netted the ball on a free kick from 22-yards out. At the end of regulation the score was tied 2-2, and the game would go in to two 15 minute, sudden death, extra time periods. ECU had numerous chances to take the victory in the first overtime, but the luck never fell their way. An automatic red card was delivered to Virginia Tech near the end of the first overtime, and for the rest of the match their team was downsized to 10 players. Cummins placed a shot in the upper corner of the goal, past ECU goalie Dino Stambolitis, that gave Virginia Tech the lead and the victory. "Soccer has been everything to me for a long time and I'm sure I'll look back on this season and this team in a very positive way Nick Errato FCU Defensemen ECU senior midfielder Greg Hoffman (center) played his final game as a Pirate Friday. The Pirates fell to Virginia Tech 3-2. (file photo) "It was a very emotional day O'Neill said. "We had a lot to play for and the team really wanted this one, not only for the seniors' last game, but we had the oppurtunity to get nine wins and tie a record. I am very proud of the way this team has fought and never quit the entire season "Ending this chapter of my life is hard said senior defensmen Nick Errato. "Soccer has been everything to me for a long time and I'm sure I'll look back on this season and this team in a very positive way " ECU finishes the 2000 season with a somewhat pleasing record of 8-11, one win shy of the single- season record for wins, set by the 1986 Pirates who had nine. 2 E H E ECU Business this campus collecting nc and househo Count) Work Services Chili other local a) have been id Lookfo around thiswoi Crc onl FULL SI � High S � Color ( � Digital � Forms, � Full Bir � PIP Ms Phone 35 1 The America every year to they will quit other day of I A Stop by i around c; Signup!

State Wolfpack. The Men picked up their first loss of the season at the hands of the Wolfpack while the women lost their second. "We were happy with the way we swam against N.C. State said Head swimming Coach Rick Kobe. "I would say just about every race came down to the last half a second. It was held in front of a standing room only crowd. This was our third straight standing room only crowd The men's meet featured another great performance by fresh- man sensation Matt Walker who continues to push towards qualify- ing for the NCAA meet. Friday, Walker tied his own freshmen men's record in the 200 meter freestyle and finished one- 10th of a second off the NCAA qualifying cut time. His time was also one- 10th of a second off the varsity record at ECU. Walkers' performance knotted up three first place finishes for the Pirates on the afternoon. Walker who has won all 12 of his individual events this season also teamed with freshmen Daniel Walters and Will Powell, and senior Claes Lindgren to win the 4x400 free relay. "1 thought the guys could have done a little better but we gave it our all said senior Will Hudgins. "If we raced again I think the meet would be closer. 1 think their pro- gram is ust one that's there in the upper echelon. Once you get past their first swimmers they were more or less on our level. I think in years to come we have a chance ol getting to that level The women's team fought hard in their second loss of the season. Many of the women stepped up in a meet that was close throughout. One of the most exciting perfor- mances of the day was junior Dana Fullers winning the 1000-meter free style. Her time was one second off her own varsity record and one second off the pool record for the event. Senior Tracy Ormond finished SeeSWIMpg6 NOTES from 4 downs.

And now the weather As if it wasn't bad enough that the Pirates had to make their visit to Morgantown during Don Nehlen's swan song, they also have to contend with their first game on artificial turf as well as the weather. The forecast calls for the high on Saturday to be 39 degrees. There will be snow and rain on Friday and the turf surface of Mountaineer field should make for a all-around tough game. "It's (Nehlen's) last game it's cold, it's playing on turf, if s a lot of adversity said senior nose tackle Mbayo Ahmadu. "But rf you want to win you've got to play in adversity The bowl picture With Saturday's win over Houston, the Pirates (6-3, 4-2) kept alive their faint bowl hopes. If first-place Louisville (8-2, 5-1) wins at Houston on Saturday then the Pirates flickering title hopes will be snuffed out. That will give the Cardinals the title and the Liberty Bowl bid. If the Pirates then win their next two games, including the Nov. 24 clash with Southern Miss (7-2, 4-1), then the Pirates and Eagles will be tied for second with ECU getting the second-place nod thanks to the head-to-head. Now this is where it gets complicated, if this happens then the GMAC Mobile Alabama Bowl will have to chose between their loser from last year, ECU and the nearby Golden Eagles. Emotions will run high For the Mountaineers and the college football life of the state of West Virginia, Saturday will be an emotional day. First, it will be the last home game for West Virginia football icon Don Nehlen. Also ECU's visit will be a reminder of the worst sports tragedy in American history. This week, the memory of the plane crash that killed 75 people and the entire Marshall Univer- sity football team has weighed heavy on the minds of college football fans. The crash hap- pened 30 years ago this week when the team was returning from a game at ECU. Last Saturday, ECU marked the event with a moment of silence prior to their game against Houston.

The lone win came against Vir- ginia Commonwealth University giving the Pirates a victory in their last CAA conference game before moving on to Conference USA next season. The losses came against N.C. State and CAA rival William & Mary. The W St M loss was the first against them this season after the Pirates beat the Tribe in two matches earlier in the season.
