ECU to host spring career fairs Five events scheduled to guide students NICK HENNE NEWS EDITOR The first of five career fairs scheduled for the spring semester took place Wednesday in the Sci- ence and Technology building, offering students a variety of opportunities. Various employers were set up waiting to meet the right student to hire for jobs or internships as they passed out brochures to numerous students walking by. "We've hired some really good ECU students. ECU has one of the best construction management programs on the east coast said Chet Hayes, recruiter for KB Home, a national home building company. Hayes said his company plans on hiring at least three ECU students they meet at the fair. Students showed positive reactions to the day's event. "I think it's tremendous I've already talked to two com- panies and they've been well communicable said Houtan Kargar, senior industrial distribu- tion major. Kargar said the fairs are good for ECU and are a great opportu- nity for students. Michael Pitt, junior con- struction management major, said it was a great way for students to take a look at their options for the future. The five fairs are being held on different days at different locations, offering a variety of information to students to assist them in making career related decisions. While each career fair is geared for different fields, they offer benefits to students of vari- ous majors. "No matter what their major is, companies) still need a lot of people to make the company work said Jim McAtee, career coordinator at the Student Profes- sional Development office. "Within every company, there are a number of disciplines needed to make that company grow and operate Many students will begin looking for jobs after gradua- tion, while others will search for internships. The fairs are designed to adequately supply students with Information on both of these needs.

The play was held to honor the late president who was born Feb. 12, 1809, and was attended by both President Bush and the First Lady. David E. Long, associate pro- fessor in the department of his- tory, and Gerald J. Prokopowicz, assistant professor in the depart- ment of history, were invited due to their membership on the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Commission Advisory Board. The board is comprised of a group of scholars who are providing historical research support to the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Commission, a 15-member commission chosen by the president and Congress created to make preparations for the bicentennial celebration of Lincoln in 2009. Both Long and Prokopowicz said they are proud of the invita- tion to a White House event. "It's always a great honor to be invited to the White House said Prokopowicz. The dramatic play was held in the East Room, where Lincoln's body lay in state after his assassination. The two historians were selectedto the ALBC advisory board because of their distinguished careers of study on Lincoln. Long said his career of study on Lincoln has included writing the definitive book on the former president's election, speaking at multiple commemorative events and performing several television interviews. The interest began at an early age for Long, who became enamored with Lincoln through an initial fascination with the Civil War. "I took a tremendous interest in the Civil War and there was one person who stood head and shoulders above everyone else said Long. Prokopowicz said his interest in Lincoln began when he was a graduate student at Harvard and assisted Pulitzer Prize winning author, David Herbert, in writing a biography of Lincoln. Long and Prokopowicz said the ALBC advisory board has already began throwing around a variety of ideas for the upcoming bicentennial celebration. "We've talked about sponsor- ing conferences and publications, chat rooms with Lincoln professors and writers Prokopowicz said. Long said the advisory board also talked about the possibil- ity of turning a train into a museum that travels the route Lincoln's body took on the way back to Illinois, stopping at various destina- tions along the way. Other commemora- tions will include new pennies and postage stamps, as well as a docu mentary. "There are a myriad of things that will go into this bicenten- nial Long said. Long and Proko- powicz said they are attempting to hold a commemorative event for Lincoln at ECU, with the plan of invit- ing experts to speak on the late president. Chris Ward, senior industrial technology major, said two professors receiving invita- tions to the White House bodes well for ECU'S hiring practices. "It shows ECU is looking toward the right professors hiring practices look to be improving said Ward. This writer can be contacted at news@theeastcarolinian.com. LONG PROKOPOWICZ Campus Living works to recruit students. Campus Living campaign underway On-campus living increases efforts to attract students SALMA KHAN STAFF WRITER Campus Living at ECU has raised the bar for attracting students to move on campus by offering incentive packages as competition to surrounding apartment complexes. The incentives for the Feb- ruary sign-up package include priority registration online, $100 of free text books from the ECU Bookstore, free Pirate Bucks worth $50 with sign-up and priority registration for the new College Hill residence hall. The new residence hall will be set up with suite arrangements. Each year Campus Living conducts an annual "Return to Campus Living" sign-up cam- paign for existing residents. In past years prizes and giveaways have been offered to encourage student to take advan- tage of early online sign-up for the following year. "This year, Campus Living wanted to reward not only exist- ing residents, but include off- campus students that sign-up online for next year said Wayne Newman, marketing director for Campus Living. "The rewards are to say 'Thank You' for living and dining on campus According to Newman, the sign-up process is going well with many existing student residents taking advantage of the February see LIVING page A2 Admissions officer recruits overseas Effort intended to attract additional international students MICHAEL HARRINGTON SENIOR WRITER ECU admissions off i- cer Jenny Sigurdardottir recently took a multi- week recruiting trip to Europe in an attempt to increase enrollment of International students. The trip took Sig- urdardottir to Norway, Sweden, Finland, Den- mark and Germany, where she informed stu- dents about ECU and encouraged them to consider the university as an option for their further education. ECU is currently attempting to increase the enrollment of inter- national students- to gain a more diverse atmosphere on campus. While on the recruiting trip, Sigurdardottir visited college fairs and classrooms, where she found the receptiveness of the students depended on what type of school they were visiting. "It really depended on what school we were in said Sigurdar- dottir. "A lot of schools in Scandina- via weren't really familiar with schools coming in and visiting them In international schools where students tend to speak English, students were much more receptive to the idea of trav- eling overseas for college. "They seemed a lot more interested in coming to the states for school Sigurdardottir said. While recruiting in Ger- many, Sigurdardottir visited eight schools located on American military bases, where she found students were very enthusias- tic about returning to the United States for college. Upon returning , from her trip, Sig- SIGURDARDOTTIR urdardotUt fitted a recruitment report, which showed every student she had contact with on her visits to the American military bases in Germany had expressed a prospective interest in attending ECU. In the report, Sigurdardottir noted many of these students had been based in North Carolina and were familiar with ECU. "Obviously they are going to be much more open to coming to school here Sigurdar- dottir said. The recruitment trip was part of a plan by ECU to attract more international students in order to have a campus popula- Students listen as Kenya Ayers reads an excerpt from Wright's Black Boy during the event African American Reading Day event showcases profound literature see OFFICER page A3 Professors share works from favorite authors NICK HENNE NEWS EDITOR The English department at ECU co-hosted an African Ameri- can Reading Day event with the Ledonia Wright Cultural Center where students and professors read influential pieces of African American literature. The reading was held as one of several events taking place in rec- ognition of Black History Month. Attendants of the event could read a variety of literature includ- ing pieces of their work or works done by renowned writers. Lathan Turner, director of the Ledonia Wright Cultural Center and Seodial Deena, co-coordina- tor of the graduate Multicultural Literature Concentration, wel- comed the program with Reginald Watson, professor in English. An energetic introduction was performed in which speakers read a work involving the clash of races in their community. Many of speakers approached their classic literature readings in a new way bringing a unique outlook on the works. Gera Miles, professor in the English department, performed by reading the song "Where is the love?" by the Black Eyed Peas as a sermon. Several classic works includ- ing "For My People" by Marga- ret Walker and excerpts from Richard Wright's "Black Boy" were read. Deena had the opportunity to read the introduction to Toni Morrison's new piece "Love Maya Socolovsky, assistant professor in the English depart- ment, concluded by reading a selection by Cornell West and stressed how important it is to learn African American literature because the history is American history. Turner said the event was well received. "I think people enjoyed the opportunity said Turner. Students found the event to be both inspirational and uplifting. "I think it is great when a group of people can truly appreci- ate what other members of their culture have contributed to the world said Dale Thomas, senior political science major.

Local No bond reduction for woman charged with poisoning husband RALEIGH, NC - A Wake County judge has refused to reduce the $3 million bond for a woman accused in the arsenic poisoning death of her husband more than four years ago. During a brief hearing Tuesday, Superior Court Judge Donald Stephens refused to change Ann Miller Kontz's bond despite her attorneys' pleas that her family cannot afford to post more than about $300,000. Stephens said he would allow Kontz to be transferred from the Wake County Jail to the North Carolina Correctional Institution for Women. Prosecutor Rebecca Holt said the district attorney's office would not challenge the move. Defense attorneys want to move Kontz because they have had trouble meeting with her at the jail to prepare their case. They also said she needs to be able to review thousands of documents leading up to her first- degree murder trial, which Stephens has scheduled to begin in January. Stephens said he might reconsider the bond issue if the trial is delayed. It's unclear when Kontz could be moved, though defense attorney Wade Smith said he hoped to have an order ready within a few days. Judge's ruling may shut down red-light camera use In High Point GREENSBORO, NC - High Point will probably suspend use of red-light cameras after a judge ruled Tuesday that the county schools are entitled to 90 percent of the fines collected through the program. High Point is appealing the ruling of Superior Court Judge A. Moses Massey. The outcome could shut down red-light camera use statewide since municipalities say most of the money generated by the cameras is needed for expenses. As a result of the ruling, High Point could have to pay the schools $1.3 million to $1.5 million. That's money we don't have High Point Mayor Becky Smothers said. High Point's contract with Peek Traffic, which runs the program, obligates the city to pay $27 to $35 for every $50 citation collected. The city will lose money if forced to also pay the school district an additional $45 for each citation. "I'm pretty sure we'll probably suspend the program Smothers said. The city is negotiating with Peek Traffic about terminating its contract, which is due for renewal in March, City Attorney Fred Baggett said. The ruling stems from a 2001 lawsuit filed by High Point resident Henry Shavitz, who had been cited and refused to pay the $50 fine. National Jackson to hospital with flu - jury selection delayed SANTA MARIA, Calif. - Jury selection in Michael Jackson's child-molestation case was delayed for the second time in two weeks, after the pop superstar was taken to an emergency room with flu-like symptoms. Judge Rodney S. Melville on Tuesday delayed jury selection until Feb. 22, saying - "He has all the symptoms that we all have when we have the flu Jackson was being treated for a "flu- like illness with some vomiting Dr. Chuck Merrill said Tuesday during a brief news conference at Marian Medical Center, about five hours after Jackson's illness was announced in court by the judge. "He's in stable condition and we expect a full recovery said Merrill, who would not answer questions. Jackson's brother Randy told reporters the pop singer would spend the night in the hospital. Earlier, as potential jurors filed into the courtroom - including a few who were scolded by bailiffs for being late - Jackson's seat remained empty.

Living from page A1 incentives. Off-campus students can begin sign-up Feb. 21 and will be awarded the same incentives. Newman does not feel these incentives will compete with sur- rounding area housing. "The changes and incentives offered by Campus Living are not a result of increased competition among apartment complexes in the Greenville area Newman said. "Campus Living offers a unique living and dining expe- rience that is truly an easy living lifestyle. The changes are a result of adapting and rewarding those who choose the campus lifestyle and to better fit the constantly changing desires of students The people at Campus Liv- ing's ultimate goal is to give better service, more options and variety in an easy living lifestyle that offers a less stressful college experience. Currently, Campus Living has approximately 5,000 living spaces available. This will increase by 480 spaces with the addition of the new College Hill residence hall in fall 2006. Each year, approximately 3,500 new first-year students enter the LCU system. Many students feel this will provide for great opportunity for the campus to attract more students back to campus dorms.

Corroded roof of bus contributed to crash LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - Shoddy repairs made to a tour bus allowed corrosion to weaken the vehicle's roof, contributing to a crash in October that killed 15 people traveling to a Mississippi casino, transportation officials said Tuesday. The bus was carrying 30 people from Chicago to casinos in Mississippi when it went off the road and overturned on Oct. 9 in eastern Arkansas. During the crash, the bus' roof peeled upward, and all but one of the people aboard were thrown into a grassy area near Interstate 55. Sometime before the crash, the bus had been damaged by a garage fire. Replacement roof panels were riveted and glued on both sides of the bus, but many of the rivets were misaligned, according to the National Transportation Safety Board. "The new holes were not aligned with the old holes the agency said. An inspection "revealed corrosion of several pillars and roof rails along both sides The NTSB said previously that sheet metal was glued and riveted to the roof, adding 600 to 700 pounds to the bus' weight and changing its center of gravity. The report also found that the bus was traveling 70 mph when it left the roadway. The speed limit was 65 mph on that stretch of I-55, about 25 miles north of Memphis, Tenn. International Shllte leaders meet In to discuss new government BAGHDAD, Iraq - Members of the winning Shiite political alliance met to discuss forming a new government Wednesday, and the leading candidate for prime minister was a family doctor who spent many years in exile. Front-runner Ibrahim al-Jaafari, the current vice president, visited Abdul-Aziz al-Hakim, the alliance's leader, at his Baghdad office to discuss the pending announcement of the alliance's candidate to be prime minister. Shortly after he left, his main rival, former Pentagon favorite Ahmad Chalabi, arrived for talks. Chalabi, 58, who left Iraq as a teen, fell out of favor with Washington last year after claims he passed intelligence information to Iran. Chalabi, a secular Shiite, led the Iraqi National Congress, an umbrella for groups that included Iraqi exiles, Kurds and Shiites. Much of the intelligence his group supplied on Iraq's alleged weapons of mass destruction programs failed to pan out. Hussein al-Mousawi, a spokesman for the Shiite Political Council, an umbrella group for 38 Shiite political parties, has said Chalabi most likely would be the next prime minister because he has broad support beyond the Sistani-backed United Iraqi Alliance. The race to be the Shiites' pick for prime minister narrowed Tuesday, when Adel Abdul Mahdi, who has close ties to Iran, dropped out. A close aide to Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, who almost guaranteed the United Iraqi Alliance's victory when he endorsed it, said "the grand cleric has the final say" as to who will be the candidate. The Kurdish parties have apparently agreed to support the alliance's candidate for prime minister in return for the presidency. Hundreds of thousands join funeral for slain leader BEIRUT, Lebanon - Mourners holding banners saying "Syria Out crowded around the flag-draped coffin of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, and his family warned the pro-Damascus government to stay away Wednesday as hundreds of thousands of people turned his funeral into a spontaneous rally against Syria. Along the funeral route through downtown Beirut, the Lebanese flag was hung from balconies and pictures were posted of Hariri, who was assassinated Monday by a massive car bomb that also killed 16 others. Angry mourners shouted insults at Syrian President Bashar Assad to "remove your dogs from Beirut" - a reference to Syrian intelligence agents, part of an overall contingent of 15,000 troops deployed here since 1976. Suspicions over Syrian involvement in Hariri's death further charged the atmosphere, and pressure mounted from abroad to find his killers, with Washington recalling its ambassador from Syria and the U.N. Security Council demanding justice. William Burns, an assistant secretary of state for Middle East affairs who attended the funeral, renewed a call for Syria to withdraw its troops. "Mr. Hariri's death should give - in fact it must give - renewed Impetus to achieving a free, independent and sovereign Lebanon Burns said after a meeting later in the day with Lebanese Foreign Minister Mahmoud Hammod. "And what that means is the immediate and complete implementation of the U.N. security resolution 1559, and what that means is the complete and immediate withdrawal by Syria of all of its forces in Lebanon Washington accuses Syria of aiding anti-Israeli militants and supporting insurgents in Iraq. In a sign of Hariri's popularity and his ability to reach across Lebanon's often-volatile divisions, Sunni Muslim clerics, Druse leaders in white turbans and ordinary Lebanese Shiites and Christians all marched in the funeral. Hariri, credited with rebuilding post- civil war Lebanon, was a Sunni Arab. Breaking with Islamic tradition, hundreds of weeping women waving white handkerchiefs joined men in the march.

Applications will also be available for students who are able to find an organization in which they are interested. Students who are undecided can also benefit from the event. There will be general information offered, and employers will be explaining what their organiza- tion has to offer to assist them in deciding what they may want to pursue as a career. "They can do some career exploration and talk with these employers about what their jobs are like McAtee said. "My hope is students get out of it what they're seeking McAtee said in past career fair events, both students and employers'have been overall appreciative and supportive. The events have only been improving as more students become aware of what is offered and the benefits they can receive. McAtee said past employers have indicated ECU's career fairs are the best they have attended. "They jemployers) love how well it's organized, attended and the variety of students they see McAtee said. Preparation is the key for having a successful career fair. McAtee encourages all students to come to the SPD office to make an appointment with a career coach, have their resume critiqued and have a general discussion about networking and gathering information from employers.

Linda Darty, head of the metals program, professor and recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Enamelist Society, released a how-to book on enameling, the art of carving and paint- ing glass and the various forms enameling takes. The book, The Art of Enam- eling, is a detailed and infor- mative look at the rich history and beautiful art enameling has to offer. "1 wrote it because I have never had a textbook to teach with said Darty. "I teach workshops all over the place and I am always typing handouts, so I had all this information organized for years. I finally decided to put the images together The book offers a compre- hensive instructional guide on the practices and techniques of successful enameling. It is divided into three parts detailing the fundamentals of enameling, the various forms of specialized enameling and a look at projects and various pieces of art complete with step-by-step instructions. The Art of Enameling is detailed enough to be used in the college classroom, yet maintains accessibility for the average reader who knows little about enameling. Both Northern Illinois University and the University of North Texas have adopted the book for their enameling curricu- lum, while Barnes and Noble stores carry the book for the common reader. "It's kind of a how-to book, but also an appreciation book, so hopefully people know what enameling is Darty said. "Enameling has been around since the 13th century B.C but people still don't nec- essarily know what it is The book, though just recently published, is the result of Darty's passion and love for the art. She was instrumental in bringing the enameling department to ECU and is thankful of what ECU has to offer on the subject. "I think ECU has a pretty amazing slide library of enam- els Darty said. "We are unique in that we are one of the few schools in this country that has an emphasis on enameling Not only has the book brought further recognition to the school of art and design, it has further cemented Darty's contribution to contemporary enameling. "I have gotten lots of posi- tive feedback Darty said. "A lot of universities are accepting it for use as their text Darty's book is currently ranked 18,502 on the Barnes and Noble sales chart, surpass- ing works from popular authors like Tom Clancy. At a book signing in Chicago, The Art of Enameling sold 200 copies in two days. "I think it is a real contribu- tion to the field Darty said. That sentiment is echoed by many of the students and professors at ECU. Timothy Lazure, assistant professor in the school of art and design, thought the book was a success.

If your earned credit hours fall within these criteria you will receive a message at your ECU Exchange email address asking you to participate in the survey, and your record will be "tagged" so that you cannot register until you have completed it. If you do not receive the email notice, it means that the survey and registration restriction does not apply to you. If you are in the survey, as soon as you submit your survey responses the "tag" will be removed from your record so that you can pre-register. Registration staff can verify that your responses were received and that the tag was removed. The survey period is March 3 - April 25. During that period you can complete the survey by going to the ECU "One-Stop" web site, entering your ECU Exchange email userid and password to sign on, and clicking on "Sophomore Survey" in the box labeled "Surveys You can also access the "One-Stop" from: Mendenhall Computer Lab, Wright Place Cafeteria, the Austin Building, andJoyner Library East Your initial email notice will have a link to the "One-Stop During the survey period you will be sent a reminder email message and later a postcard, if you have not yet completed the survey. Please complete the survey as soon as possible after the survey opens on March 3rd-certainly before sophomore pre-registration begins (shortly after March 28). This will also help you avoid delays during pre-registration when the workload on ECU computers is at a peak. All remaining tags for this survey will be removed from the student records on April 26, the day after the survey closes. Lazure. Lazure, with no prior expe- rience with enamel, was able to make his own stylized dish with the step-by-step instruc- tions Darty provided. Lindsy Hardin, a student in the metals program, also raved about the book. "It is one of the most impor- tant enameling books there is said Hardin.

UNGERFELT Editor In Chief THURSDAY February 17, 2005 Our View Many ECU students don't show their support From the many events TEC has attended this year that were cancelled or shortened due to a lack of student involvement, it's beginning to look like a large group of ECU students stopped caring about anything of importance. Last semester, a march was scheduled for sexual assault awareness. It is such an awful problem that must receive as much recognition as possible, yet no one showed up. The people responsible for the event went. A photographer and a reporter from TEC went, as well as a photographer from The Daily Reflector, but not one student. One of the largest audiences of the year - The Vagina Monologues - those who attended didn't even interact with the performers as they had in previous years. TEC feels most educational events on campus are ignored by a majority of students. Members of campus organizations do not bother to show up to meetings half the time and many profes- sors have to make attending educational events a requirement in order for students to go. There must be something ECU students care about other than dollar pitcher night down- town. Those are great too, but what is it going to take to get students to show support for issues that concern the university? The state? The world? To all of you who have spent time raising money for the tsunami victims: Thank you. For all the members of SGA and the Student Senate, both the college Democrats and Republicans, the Student Union and all other organizations who have tried to make a difference, thank you for making our school a better place. TEC urges you to remember that you only have a few years at this institution and there is no time like the present to get involved. It's up to the students to make ECU what it is - an institution of higher learning, not simply a party school. Our Staff Amanda Q. Lingerfelt Editor in Chief Nick Henne News Editor Kristin Day Asst.

THEN MAKE A FUSS AND FORCE SCHOOLS TO TEACH IT! ! � � i � i i i I � i Opinion Columnist Drug enforcement laws cripple penal system Marijuana should be swept under the proverbial rug PETER KALAJIAN ADVOCATE FOR JUSTICE When 1 was 17-years-old, the long arm of the law unceremoniously embraced me. While attending a party, 1 was arrested for possession of a controlled substance (marijuana) and sentenced to probation and community service, a sentence that was due, in large part, to my status as a minor. 1 received the expected reaction of vicious punishment from my parents, spending the next 10 Saturdays chop- ping wood before the sun came up and being completely stripped of even the most basic social allowances. School, work, home. School, work, home. That was my routine, i was never angry at my parents for their reaction, but there was one issue which came into focus for me about two weeks later, cast- ing serious doubts on my faith in the American judicial system and forcing me to ponder the true meaning of the word "justice The event which cast me into the black abyss of frustration and judicial impotence some time later would forever shape my ideas about the moral implications of drug use and punishment and how badly those social boundaries need to be changed. As is not uncommon in the halls of high schools across the nation, a fight broke out between several students. When it was all over, one of the boys had received serious internal injuries from being repeatedly kicked by his assailants and spent the next month in a hospital bed. The two attackers were promptly arrested and escorted from the prem- ises by police. As he was the son of a local attorney, the ringleader (for the purposes of this exercise lets call him Sam) quickly disposed of his case and was sentenced to no probation, no jail time and less community service than I had received. I was dumbfounded. How could someone who had inflicted possibly life-threatening injuries on a fellow stu- dent be given a more lenient sentence in a court of law than someone who had simply been caught with a small quantity of marijuana? The ridiculous- ness of that situation prompted me to do some research into the matter. What I found was alarming. Our national penal system is absolutely clogged with non-violent drug offenders, most of whom have been convicted of simple possession. In 2004, the Federal Bureau of Prisons reported that 54.1 percent of all inmates were convicted of drug-related charges. Prisons are staggeringly overcrowded and the United States, the land of the free, boasts the worlds largest prison population at more than two million persons currently incarcerated, hundreds of thousands of those for simple possession offenses or other non- violent crimes. And since marijuana is the most popular illicit substance in America today, a large percent- age of those convictions are for the possession, or distribution of mari- juana. There exists in American culture today a great stigma about marijuana. Though cigarettes (the greatest single Bain on public health in American history) and alcohol are responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people every year, both industries are represented in Congress by power- ful lobbies, essentially guaranteeing that the two most dangerous legal substances will continue to permeate our society, while marijuana is demon- ized as the "gateway" drug, which will enslave our children and fund the proliferation of international terrorism (those are by far the funniest commer- cials on television today). It is true that most individuals who end up as crack heads or heroin addicts begin their journey down the road of drug dependency with marijuana, but not for the reasons that are often stated by the Office of Drug Control Policy and the rest of the federal establish- ment. In fact, the statistic that is often excluded from the propaganda about marijuana as a gateway drug is that most people begin their saga of drug addiction not with marijuana, but with nicotine. Unfortunately, due to the bottomless pockets of the tobacco industry, that little tidbit is all too often left out of the arguments about the evils of marijuana. Unlike alcohol, which remains the only drug whose withdrawal can cause death, marijuana has never directly killed anyone. There is no record of someone overdosing on marijuana and its effects are far less pro- found than, say, drinking a six-pack. And as for the argument about funding international terrorism when- ever you smoke a joint, the fact remains that for some time now the majority of the marijuana smoked in this country is also grown in this country, and if not, is smuggled in from Canada or Mexico - those world-renowned exporters of state-funded terrorism. Buying heroin might support rebel governments in Asia, or snorting cocaine could line the pockets of narco-terrorists in South and Central America, but the idea that a few kids smoking marijuana should bear some responsibility for terrorism is not only irresponsible, it is simply untrue. All in all, marijuana is one of the most benign drugs available to the American public today. Not physically addicting like nicotine, alcohol or opi- ates, marijuana, in my opinion, should not be legalized. Legalization would pose a great number of other questions, tax issues and so forth - so instead, 1 am an advocate for decriminalization. In Canada, if you are caught by police with a small amount of marijuana for personal use, you receive the equiva- lent of a parking ticket. Small fines, no permanent records, end of discus- sion. It frees up space in the prisons for violent criminals and provides the government with a new and constant flow of revenue. The simple fact remains that the punishments need to fit the crimes In this country, and no pot smoker deserves prison. Jail does not reform anyone, only turns people into more effective c riminals. Let's focus our attention on real problems, not continue to ruin the lives of innocent people for the simple fact that they chose to smoke marijuana.

Aren't those supposed to be the cars of choice for pale-faced tree-hug- gers and liberal college professors too timid to roar down the highway in an eight-cylinder SUV? How come some prominent neo-conservative hawks have been spotted motoring along the Beltway behind the wheel of a Prius? Patriotism, that's why. Former CIA Director Jim Woolsey and defense analyst Frank Gaffney, both backers of the Iraq war, have come to realize that the national security of the United States depends on freeing ourselves from dependency on Mideast oil. Driving gas guzzlers keeps our nation in debt to the kinds of regimes that do not have our best interests at heart. Besides, where do you think the Saudis have acquired the money to spread Islamic extremism and the terrorism it engenders worldwide? Largely from American consumers. These conservatives know that oil industry experts predict the world's petroleum output will peak sometime in the next decade - this at a time when India and China are rapidly expanding their industrial economies, making the global competition for increas- ingly scarce oil supplies more fierce. Barring some miracle, the price of oil will rocket skyward in the coming years and decades. The days of cheap fossil fuels are gone for good. As Gaff- ney put it recently, weaning ourselves from foreign oil is "a national security imperative A generation ago, President Jimmy Carter gave a memorable televised address in which he urged the nation to learn to conserve energy, to live within limits, in order to break our depen- dency on oil-producing thugocracies. The speech was a disaster - it's now remembered as the "malaise" speech - and no American president since then has ever proposed the same sensible policies. Rather, as historian Andrew Bacevich points out, every president has made defending our oil supply Pri- ority No. 1 in the Middle East. If Americans are unwilling to make personal sacrifices like Gaffney and Woolsey are making, argues Bacevich, then they will fight war after war in the 21st century. Bacevich is no peacenik, but a conservative who understands the gravity of the situation facing the nation he loves. Conservatives are becoming gas conservationists not for the sake of Mother Earth, but for the sake of America. Three cheers for the Prius patriots. Pirate Rant How do you give up a seven- point lead with two minutes left in the game? If you ask me, I think our basketball team needs to learn how to finish a game instead of letting it slip away. Why did Kyle Billings make no mention of Melissa Etheridge in his article about the Gram- my's? Not only did she honor what I would consider one of the greatest female artists ever (Janis Joplin), she did it bald undergo- ing treatment for breast cancer. What the hell is this jungle everyone is talking about? I am a veteran and my spouse is active duty. I think I provided enough respect for the country that was not able to defend itself on 911 and that supports in kill- ing our children, spouses, parents for an idealistic and pointless war that brings Iraq closer to theocratic Iran than to American democracy. What is up with the kids ages 10 and under running around the library at night? I thought this was a university library, not one for little boys and girls to come in and get on the computer to listen to the newest Mario song. It became normal to ask if a woman's breasts are real when every girl decided to wear miraclewater bras. I am so bom- barded with large breasts they don't even make an impact any- more. It sucks to get home and realize that half the breast is still in the bra. That is false advertis- ing ladies. George Bush isn't dumb eh? So when your own fuzzy math makes the national debt soar, when you get the lowest possible score on a pilot aptitude test, you've lost jobs, you refuse to admit any mistakes on the job, you reward incompetence by promoting failures, you refuse to enforce United States trade policies and cost NC jobs, you lie to the American people about a war waged on false pretenses and because of you, 1,500 soldiers died and 10,000 soldiers were wounded for nothing. Some- how this all reflects some kind of intelligence? I don't respect incompetence. No one in this country should either. Wanna know why Eagles' fans are crying? Because they could have beaten the crap out of the "field goal" dynasty but instead got out-coached and outplayed down the stretch. You heard it here first - it will be the Panthers vs. Eagles in the NFC championship game next year and the Panthers will get revenge against the Patriots in Super Bowl 40. Why can't there be more uplifting and benign rants?

To all of you who have a better car than my 1994 Saturn (which is most of you), I have decided that I am going to go ahead and let you hit me.

So the next time you cut me off at 7:30 a.m. trying to get your kid to school (yeah I'm talking to you, Miss White Lexus) or the next time we're both driving opposite directions on one of those roads off Fifth Street, be ready to pay for my new car because I am not going to almost kill myself trying to get out of your way so you can have the road to yourself. I can't wait until Spring Break. To me it means the semester is half over and I am closer to get- ting rid of my current professors.

Slack and Tan Judge sentences defrocked priest 12 to 15 years in prison for raping boy Paul Shanley looks up during his sentencing. BOSTON (AP) � Defrocked priest Paul Shanley, a central figure in the Boston Archdiocese clergy sex abuse scandal, was sentenced Tuesday to 12 to 15 years in prison for raping a boy repeatedly in the 1980s, some- times in a church confessional. "It is difficult to imagine a more egregious misuse of trust and authority Judge Stephen Neel said in imposing the term. But he turned aside a prosecutor's request for a life sentence. Shanley, 74, once known for a being a hip "street priest" who reached out to troubled children and homosexuals, was convicted last week of two counts each of child rape and indecent assault and battery on a child. He will be eligible for parole after serving two-thirds of his sen- tence, or eight years. He was also sentenced to 10 years' probation. The case hinged on the reli- ability of the accuser's memories of the abuse, which he said he recovered three years ago as the clergy sex abuse scandal unfolded in the media.

"He used his collar and he used his worshipped status in that community said Rooney. "There has been no remorse shown on the part of this defen- dant. There has been no accep- tance of responsibility Shanley's lawyer, Frank Mon- dano, did not suggest a specific term, but asked Neel to allow Shanley to serve his sentence in a county lockup rather than state prison. The judge refused. Another notorious pedophile priest, John Geoghan, was killed in a Massachusetts state prison, allegedly by a fellow inmate. Mondano said the prosecu- tion's case was built on "vilifica- tion, half truths and lies He has said he plans to appeal. Among the spectators who packed the courtroom for Shan- iey's sentencing hearing were other people who accused Shan- ley of sexually abusing them but were not part of the criminal case. As Shanley was led from the courtroom in handcuffs, they burst into applause and one man called out "Goodbye Victims of abusive priests and their advocates were pleased by the sentence, saying it could amount to life in prison given Shan- ley's age and a heart condition. "The important thing is that he's off the streets said David .Clohessey, national director of the Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests. "We're relieved and grateful and believe Massachusetts is a safer place because of this decision Shanley's accuser, now a 27- year-old firefighter in a suburb of Boston, said the former priest would pull him from Sunday morning catechism classes at St. Jean's parish in Newton and rape and fondle him. The abuse began in 1983, when he was six years old, and continued for six years, he said. Rooney read a written state- ment by Shanley's accuser. "I want him to die in prison the man's statement said. "I hope it is slow and painful The accuser's wife addressed Shanley in court, saying "no words can ever explain my dis- gust for you. You are a coward. You hid behind God "You robbed my little boy of his innocence the accuser's father told Shanley. "You destroyed his understanding of good and bad and right and wrong During the trial, the accuser broke down on the witness stand as he described in graphic detail being abused by Shanley in a church bathroom, rectory, con- fessional and pews.

Iran claims U.S. has been spying in nuclear sites TEHRAN, Iran (AP) � The United States has been flying spy drones over Iran's nuclear sites, Intelligence Minister Ali Yunesi said Wednesday, responding for the first time to reports of Ameri- can unmanned surveillance craft over Iran. "Most of the shining objects that our people see in Iran's airspace are American spying equipment used to spy on Iran's nuclear and military facilities the minister told reporters. His remarks supported a report Sunday in The Washington Post that quoted unnamed U.S. officials as saying the drones have been flying over Iran for nearly a year to seek evidence of nuclear weapons programs. The newspaper said the drones had been leaving from U.S. military bases in Iraq and were equipped with air filters designed to pick up traces of nuclear activity. "U.S. spying activities over Iranian airspace have been going since a long time ago Yunesi said. "These activities won't reveal anything to them Yunesi said of the Americans. "That's to say, it won't give them anything new "Our nuclear activities are open and very transparent. Our military activities are all legal Yunesi said. I le spoke while visit- ing a prison for dissidents under the Shah that has been turned into a museum. In December, the Iranian air force was ordered to shoot down ONE MONTH � Walk-In Customers W�lome any unknown flying objects. At the time, there were reports in Iranian newspapers that Iran had discovered spying devices in the pilotless planes that it had shot down. "If any of the bright objects come close, they will definitely meet our fire and will be shot down. We possess the necessary equipment to confront them Yunesi said. Last month, Yunesi said the United States had been conducting aerial surveil- lance, but he didn't men- tion drones or nuclear sites. Iranian media has been gripped by a kind of "flying object" fever with dozens of reported sightings in recent weeks. State-run media has reported numerous sightings of unknown objects flying over parts of Iran where nuclear facili- ties are located. The objects were spotted near Natanz - which has a ura- nium enrichment plant - and Isfahan, which has a facility for producing uranium hexaflouride gas, the feedstock for enriching uranium. Uranium enriched to low grades is used for fuel in nuclear reactors, but further enrichment makes it suitable for atomic bombs. The United States accuses Iran of having a secret program to manufacture nuclear weap- ons. Iran denies this, saying its nuclear program is entirely for the generation of electricity.

Smiling with relief, Jenita Jeyarajah took the baby, dressed in blue, from a doctor's arms in a courtroom packed with onlook- ers after the judge said DNA tests confirmed the baby is her 4-month-old son Abilass. "Look how happy he Is! He knows the scent of his parents gushed the father, Murugupillai Jeyarajah. "After returning to us, he still hasn't cried The couple went straight from the court to a Hindu temple to give thanks for their son's return and smash a coconut in ritual ful- fillment of a vow. Relatives joined them, chanting prayers and rais- ing their hands in worship as the father carried the child around the shrine. It was just the first of many temples the couple planned to visit Wednesday. The relieved parents also paid a brief visit to the rubble of their home, where the raging waters snatched the boy from his mother's arms on Dec. 26. He was later found on a beach among bodies and debris and taken to the Kalmunai hospital. Baby 81, so-called because he was the day's 81st admission, was quickly claimed by nine couples, including thejeyarajahs, symbol- izing the anguish of thousands of families who lost children in the disaster. Later Wednesday, thejeyara- Abilass Jeyarajah, or baby 81 jahs reached their temporary residence - a modest, concrete, one-story house where Jenlta's aunt lives with her family. The baby was put in a small cot on the tiled living room floor, while the parents entertained a sea of visitors and proudly showed their son. Abilass sported a "mottu" on his forehead - a black stain to ward off evil that was painted by nurses in the hospital. His name is rooted in the Sanskrit word "abhilasha meaning aspiration or desire. The excitement overwhelmed Murugupillai's father, 60-year- old Sinnaphurai, who fainted in the courtroom and had to be taken to the same hospital where his grandson had stayed. The Jeyarajahs initially couldn't prove he was theirs , is seen shortly after being because their home and family records were swept away by the tsunami. The hospital refused to release the baby until the matter was settled in court although the other couples never pursued their claims. It has been a wrenching seven weeks for the couple. Forbidden to even pick up their son, the Jeyarajahs at one point barged into the hospital to get the baby and were briefly detained after a scuffle with the staff. The parents then threat- ened to commit suicide unless the baby was returned to them. On Feb. 8, the couple and the baby traveled separately to a Colombo clinic for DNA testing, paid for by UNICEF. At Wednesday's court pro- reunited with her parents. ceedings, Kalmunai Judge M.P. Mohaideen officially declared the couple to be the boy's par- ents, apologized for the incon- venience and wished Abilass a prosperous future. Murugupillai, a barber, said he planned to stay with Abilass for several days before returning to work. "1 want to teach my child well and bring him up as any other parents would Murugupillai told The Associated Press, cra- dling the boy in his arms. According to U.N. estimates, children accounted for a stag- gering 40 percent, or 12,000, of Sri Lanka's tsunami death toll of nearly 31,000. About 1,000 children were orphaned by the tsunami and another 3,200 lost one parent. I'm a Student and a Plasma Donor � Month This coupon good for an extra $5 on your ! 2nd and. 4th donation Utlt.

Tradition maybe unhealthy Fast food - the good, the bad and the ugly TOMEKA STEELE SENIOR WRITER Fast food is as much a part of American society as apple pie. Its popularity has crossed deserts and oceans and the world is feeling its effects. Fast food is convenient because most people live life on the go but it's one of the reasons why America is becoming a "fat" country. "In 2003, 15 states had obe- sity prevalence rates of 15-19 percent - 31 states had rates of 20-24 percent - four states had rates more than 25 percent according to the National Center ' for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion. The percents of obesity preva- lence have increased in the past two years to astonishing levels. Some of the main Causal factors of obesity are an inactive life- style, environmental factors and behavior. Today, many people seldom have time to cook a well balanced meal and fast food has become a way of life. "The only good thing about fast food is that it is right there, you get it in five seconds and it is convenient. It is very unhealthy and fast food chains can get away with it because people need to get quick meals on the run. 1 like how some places are trying to replace certain items with healthy things like Wendy's letting you get a side salad or chili or a potato instead of fries. There needs to be fast � food places that actually serve healthy food instead of strictly burgers, fries and chicken said Misty Mann, junior elementary education major. Many people blame fast food restaurants on their health prob- lems. In 2002, Caesar Barber, a 272 pound 56 year old, filed a lawsuit against McDonald's, KF Wendy's and Burger King. Barber claimed that he'd become addicted to fast food since he couldn't cook and because of it suffered two heart attacks and was diagnosed with diabetes over a 30 year period. In New York, the same year, another case was filed by Gregory Rhymes. Rhymes, a 15-year-old boy, filed suit because he claimed his addiction to McDonald's put him at a weight of 400 pounds, even though he wasn't very tall. His mother believed McDonald's didn't accurately describe the levels of cholesterol, fat and salt their food contained. Fast food, mainly McDonald's, was put in the spotlight by the documentary Super Size Me this year. Directed by and starring in the movie was Morgan Spurlock. The film documents many inter- views Spurlock had with various credible and non-credible sources about the increase in America's weight. Spurlock also shows the horror of the fast food phenom- enon by subjecting himself to eating nothing but McDonald's everyday, three times a day for a month. "Fast food is gross and of course it's not healthy. I cook for see FAST page B2 Fresh vegetables are an essential part of the creative, elaborate cooking on television. FOOd NetWOrk nOt jUSt f��d community. His shows, features shows that cater to all cooking anymore SCOTTY WILLIAMS STAFF WRITER Funny things happen some- times, like the satellite or cable blacking out. A 150-channel satellite dish can be reduced to just TV Land and Food TV. Sheer curiosity will lead some people to their first viewing of a food show. Once under the spell of the Food Network, part of a net- work that includes 80 million United States' households and 4 million surfers, according to the Food Network Web site, addiction occurs. Programming today on the Food Network isn't just "mix this, whip this, bake this for ten minutes and enjoy" television. The shows feature likeable personalities who spend the airtime intro- ducing you to the cultural background of the food, or the scientific makeup of the food. Some of the shows are solely about the backgrounds of dishes and don't teach how to make them. Consider Emeril Lagasse, a chef from Massachusetts who now rivals Julia Child in terms of image and fame. His trademark "Bam and upbeat attitude in the kitchen have earned him fame beyond the "Essence of Emeril" and "Emeril Live" have turned him into a personality so large, he even starred as himself in a comedy show for a few months on NBC in 2001. Lagasse still works with enormously popular live shows where he cooks for the audience, entertaining as well as filling them. The Food Network has transformed the art of cook- ing by putting aspects of the industry out for a TV audience to see. Following the Discov- ery Channel and their behind the motorcycle hit "American Chopper the exposure has generated far more interest in the food industry. Food Net- work welcomes viewers into the kitchens of the world and shows them ffaod with the depth of an "E! True Hollywood Story "Good Eats" and host Alton Brown had an episode dealing with macaroni and cheese, entitled "For Whom the Cheese Melts teaches how to find the right cookware and ingre- dients, as well as explaining some of the science behind the dish. The approach ofcthis - show, mixed with some dry yet chuckle-worthy comedy, goes beyond the blue box and turns anyone who watches into a de-facto macaroni and cheese expert. As with any major televi- sion network, Food Network demographics. There's "The Naked Chef" with chef Jamie Oliver taking his act to the streets, cooking food for friends in a show that seems to aim at the 20-something genera- tion. For the kitchen-disabled individual, there's "Food 911" with host Tyler Florence, who goes around teaching America's helpless would-be cooks how to make amazing dishes. To serve the group that watches its weight, "Cooking Thin" with Kathleen Daelemans unveils her weight-loss secrets, and viewers should pay attention - she lost 80 pounds on her diet. Italians who crave the best in Italian food should tune to Mario Batali and his show, "Ciao America Food Network even serves up a sporting culi- nary show, "Iron Chef which serves as the battleground between a seasoned cook (no pun intended) and an ambi- tious challenger. This show is taped in Japan and broadcast with English voiceovers and the network recently adapted an Americanized version in English. Tracy May, freshman math education major, happens to enjoy a show called "$40 a Day where host Rachael Ray travels the world eating some of the best food on only $40. see EAT TV page B2 Spicing it up Hispanic food important to U.S. DANIELLE WIGGINS STAFF WRITER Hispanic food is rapidly becoming one of America's top food choices. Ever wondered if the restaurant you are eating at offers authentic recipes? Truth is, there is a different recipe for every group, family and region All Hispanic food is different and . equally as mouthwatering as the next. Some Hispanic foods have . been Americanized, but only � those who are familiar with authentic food can distinguish . one from another. There is no right or wrong way to prepare Hispanic foods, as long as it is shared with your family. The three largest groups in i America are Cubans, Puerto Ricans and Mexican. Hispanic , ingredients vary by regions or � countries from beans to spices. For example, Cuban food (much similar to Puerto Rican food), uses black peppers, oregano and black beans, while Puerto Ricans may use pigeon peas and rice. Mexican food has more y Italian food, traditions, how Americans adapt own ideas Having a traditional Italian meal TIFFANY CURRY STAFF WRITER Everyone can think of at least one Italian dish they love, whether its pizza, spaghetti, lasagna or chicken parmesean. There is a dish for everyone to choose from. "I love Italian food said Shannon Spence, sophomore health education major. "It tastes the best in Italy though That may be true, but not many of us will be lucky enough to travel to Italy and experience the taste of traditional Italian food. There is much more to Ital- ian food than just the great taste, Italian food is all about family, traditions, values and culture. In Italian culture, spending time with your family consists of sitting around the table having a big meal. Good food is of great importance to Italians and they put a lot of time and effort into making their dishes perfect. Customarily lunch was the main meal and families always ate together, but unfortunately this tradition is slowly disappear- ing because people are working longer hours and businesses are no longer closing for lunch. The main meal would nor- mally consist of an appetizer, pasta and a main course of meat or fish. The appetizers are made up of cold meats and vegetables such as prosciutto (a type of spiced ham), salami, olives and artichoke hearts. Italy is a pro- ducer of a lot of wine for export and most of the time wine is served with the meals. Each region of Italy has its own variations on pastas. In the north, ribbon shaped pastas served with cream sauces are the see ITALIAN page B2 Asian food, style, culture combine locally Traditional Asian foods making way into America KRISTIN MURNANE ASSISTANT FEATURES EDITOR China. Japan. Korea. Viet- nam. India. Food Isn't the first thing that comes to mind when these countries are mentioned. Asian food has always been an important part of both Asian culture and their economy and is quickly becoming a part of American culture as well. Sushi bars, Mongolian grills and Chi- nese restaurants are just a few examples of Asian food establish- ments in Greenville alone. Popular Asian meals consist of fish, seeing as southeastern Asia and Japan are bordered by the Pacific and Indian Oceans, but can also include meats like chicken, beef and pork. Accord- ing to a Northern Illinois Uni- versity study, twice as much fish is consumed in southeast Asia than any other form of animal protein. Rice is the most widely used carbohydrate in Asia, which has been harvested in the region for centuries. Rice is used in most every Asian meal. Asian food is generally cooked in a wok, a deep frying pan, and all meats are chopped into small pieces to make cooking faster. Also, instead of using forks and knives like most Western cul- tures, chopsticks are used as Asian utensils. Examples of Asian food include stir fry, in which vegetables and meat are mixed with a variety of spices in a deep wok and sushi, a mix of raw fish andor vegetables wrapped in seaweed and rice. Many East Indian foods are spiced with curry powder, which can be added to any kind of meats or vegetables. For those of you who happen to like cooking, Food Network has a recipe for Asian spring rolls. Begin by gathering rice paper, a bowl of warm water, sprouts, julienned carrots, julienned Napa cabbage and julienned red pep- pers. Dip the rice paper into the bowl of warm water to soften it. Then lay it out on a damp towel. Arrange a few sprouts, carrots, cabbage, red peppers on the lower bottom of the rice paper. Fold the right and left sides over the filling and roll up tightly. Place seam side down on serving platter. This should make for an enjoyable Asian treat. There are many Asian stu- dents on this campus who feel food is a very intricate theme in the lives of the healthy Asian people. "My favorite Korean foods are baechu kimchi, gimbap and yaki mandu. My mom is Korean and the best cook in the world. 1 can't go to Asian restaurants and eat egg rolls because hers are so much better said Nicholas Wal- ters, senior industrial technology major. This writer can be contacted at features@theeaitcarolinian.com. Traditional meat, vegetables. corn, wheat and pinto beans, also considering down the road adopting a little American ingre- dients to their cuisine. Manyr identify Hispanic food as spicy and extremely hot, however mild chili and peppers are usually used as ingredients. In preparing your own versions, the cuisine is only as spicy as you make it. Ethnic foods have many cultural influences contributing to Spanish cuisine, like many European ingredients. "Hispanic cultures have a big influence on American foods said Natali Justice, Chico's Mexi- can Restaurant manager and bartender. "Spanish food is the mother of all foods, it's all like a big nu-lt- ing pot said Miguel Hernandez employer of El Ranchito Mexican Restaurant. The support of Hispanic foods has caused a major increase. in both restaurant chains and super markets. The more His- panic food becomes a household I 'usual the more products and restaurants there will be. "Hispanic shoppers spend' more on food purchases because � of their large families and their' home cooked meals accord ing to the Hispanic American Influence Web site. Hispanics usually purchase fresh fruits and vegetables from the market. Like many other cultures, food is an important aspect of all Hispanic . cultures, therefore, the bigger the � appetite, the healthier you are considered to be. So, what restaurants in1' Greenville offer true authentic Hispanic food? Try El Ranchito, � located on 10th Street next to McDonald's. "The top items on our menu jj are quesadillas and sopa de polio �� (chicken soup) Hernandei said. - -� If not try, El Tapatio, located � on Arlington Boulevard. "Our ingredients are all origi- nal from Mexican recipes said Mario Rodriguez, manager of El Tapatio. If you are looking for some- thing a little closer, visit Chicoil Mexican Restaurant, located oti'1 Cotanche Street, across from U.B.E. "My personal favorites are the fajitas, polio cuesera, which � is a chicken dish and our famous ' shrimp taco Justice said. "Chico's offers all authentic Mexican spices and recipes Get out there and try some- ' thing different. If you don't get a chance to visit these places, try some cheese flan from mexican. com.

According to his Web site, emerils.com, he was voted as one of People magazine's "25 Most Intriguing People of the Year" in 1999 and as of 2003,3.5 million of his books had been sold. United Media Licensing identified the network itself in 2003 as one of the top five fastest growing cable TV networks. It's not the USA network, it's definitely not HBO and it will never be Comedy Central. Perhaps most of the network's chefs are hardly recognizable and can safely make it down the street without being noticed and mobbed by a sea of admirers. It is no guarantee - at best it is a remote thought - that one episode of "The Naked Chef" will empower you to produce breathtakingly good quiche or cook the perfect rack of lamb. Yet, the Food Network is a staple of television and will continue to be as long as people like to eat, because it has transformed from directions and stirring pots under the camera to a cultural educational experience that everyone wants to know, even in passing.

Pizza is another dish tfou can find different variations on when traveling &om one region to another. Since most of us will never travel to Italy we have to make do with what we have right here in our own towns. Places such as Olive Garden are a favorite of many students on campus. But chain restaurants are not the only places you can find great Italian food. "I think the best Italian food is served at the family owned restaurants said Kendra Shaw, sophomore psychology major. , "My favorite Italian restaurant from back home is run by a local family and I can not find that restaurant anywhere else but there For those of us who can't afford to go to Italy, but also can't afford to go out to eat, here is a quick and simple recipe for Baked Ziti.

The well recognized and the not so well recognized ASHLEY WHEDBEE STAFF WRITER Food is one of the things we need for survival, but it is also something that has become a part of many American tradi- tions. We have those certain foods we ,eat on holidays and many geographical locations SPRING BAHAMAS CRUISE $279! 5 Days. Meals, Parties.

America is a melting pot of cultures and their foods. When many people think of holidays, one of the first things that enter their thoughts are the foods we eat. We love them, we look forward to them and we can call them out quicker than our professors' names. At Thanksgiving and Christ- mas, many of us look forward to turkey, ham, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, collard greens, cornbread and casseroles galore. We can hardly wait for the morning to come so we can open presents, meet with family and then eat until we feel like we could explode without feeling guilty. It's a great sensation. "Holidays are good, not just for the food, but for the company. It's one of the few times a year when your family actually sits down to dinner together and it makes the food that much better said Diane Lareau, senior communication major. Other holidays also have their traditional foods. On the fourth of July, you can smell Americans cooking out from one neighbor- hood to the next. Hotdogs and hamburgers covered in ketchup, mustard and all the dressings. We fry up french fries or snack on chips. We indulge in cookies and cakes. The list is never ending. And don't forget about sport- ing events and barbeques. Ameri- cans carry on these traditions and the food served at these events is a tradition in itself. It is difficult to imagine going to a Major League Baseball game without getting a hotdog or a bag of peanuts. We as Americans love fried chicken and macaroni and cheese or barbeque plates with hush puppies that are featured at picnics. Of course, some foods in America are not quite as tradi- tional, or at least, we don't think of them that way. The fast food industry was born in America. Everyone knows that person who loves McDonald's, Burger King, KFC, Taco Bell or Bojangles Some people just can't stay away from the quarter-pounder or the S-piece bucket of chicken. And although they may not seem like much of an Ameri- can tradition, they're actually a part of some people's everyday routine. However, others try to stay away from the industry of convenience and timeliness. "Fast food is extremely unhealthy. I try not to eat it any more except on very few occa- sions. It's also just cheaper to buy food and cook it said Cory Arrowood, graduate student. But the perks of fast food can't be denied. "Fast food's not completely all bad. It's more convenient to simply drive up, drder and receive food. Americans are always pressed for time and don't really relax enough Arrowood said. America gave birth to the fast food industry and keeps it alive with its changing society. Accord- ing to Eric Schlosser, author of Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side of the All-American Meal, about half of the money used to buy food today is spent in restaurants, particularly fast food restaurants. He also reports that the typical American now consumes three hamburgers and four orders of fries every week. With all the selections, it's not hard to see why many Americans choose this timely option. There are also traditional foods by geographical locations and states. For example, the offi- cial muffin for Massachusetts is the corn muffin and the official cookie for New Mexico is the biscochito. The more commonly recognized geographical foods include Maine's lobsters, Missis- sippi mudpies, Maryland's crabs, Florida's fish, California for its pizza, Georgia for their peaches and the South for fried chicken. The point is clear. Some places even have a state meal and the United States alone is famous for its apple pies. So whether it is turkey and ham, hamburgers and hotdogs or chocolate cakes and apple pies, we as Americans are surrounded by traditional foods. We walk by a restaurant and smell the steaks or drive by a fast food res- taurant and can almost taste the chargrilled burger and we love it. We have options galore and never seem to get tired of eating. People gather on holidays or make a quick stop on a trip. Call- ing ahead for orders or gather so everyone can bring a dish. We pick up a basket of fries and a soda at a football game or get our faces dirty with barbeque chicken at a cookout. Maybe we need a motto for our American food traditions. Keep on eating. That's it, let go of the diet every now and then and simply enjoy. Here in America, food is a tradi- tion, so live it up. Be grateful, be happy and be full.

"This is a sad, regrettable day that all of us wish could have been avoided said Bettman. "When I stood before you In September, I said NHL teams would not play again until our economic problems had been solved. "As I stand before you today, it Is my sad duty to announce that because that solution has not yet been attained, it no longer is practical to conduct even an abbreviated season. Accordingly, I have no choice but to announce the formal cancellation of play for 2004-2005 The cancellation marks the NHL as the first North Ameri- can professional sports league to ever have an entire season wiped out due to labor disputes. It will also be the first time the Stanley Cup hasn't been awarded sln.ee the 1919 season when an influenza epidemic cut the post- season short. Already low in popularity in various parts of the U.S losing an entire season will surely further hurt the NHL in ticket sales (among other things) when the league does resume play. Bettman made a point to apolo- gize to all the fans during the press conference. "Every professional sports league owes its very existence to Its fans Bettman said. "Everyone associated with the NHL owes our fans an apology for being unable to accomplish what is necessary for our game and our fans. We are truly sorry The announcement comes on the 153rd day of the lock- out and after a flurry of offers and counteroffers exchanged between the league and players association. Progress had seemingly been made in the last couple days when the players finally buckled and decided to concede to a salary cap while the owners backed off their demands for linking player costs to revenue. However, the bump in the road was how much the salary cap would be. At first, the owners wanted no more than a $40 million cap and the NHLPA countered with $52 million. The NHL made what they said was their finally offer at $42.5 million and the players came back with one last counteroffer of a $49 million cap which was ulti- mately rejected by the league. Bettman stated at the press conference that although those proposals were put on the table, the two sides were not as close to an agreement as people may have thought. From the beginning, the NHLPA has shown poor organization within itself and in trying to negotiate with league but many players are angry a deal wasn't reached so that the season could be saved. Among those players is Dallas Stars' forward Mike Madano who criticized Bettman in Tuesday's edition of Tlie Dallas Morning New "The NHL has totally deteriorated the last 10 years under Gary's regime said Madano. "The game isn't like it used to be. Now we're asked to fix a lot of people's problems and as players we don't feel we should do that The NHL certainly isn't like it was ten years ago, particularly in relation to the issues at hand during the last lockout. Unlike the lockout of 1994-95, which was more about issues such as salary arbitration, entry-level salaries and free agency, the sticking point for the admin- istration and owners this time around has been the salary cap and linking player costs and revenue. This would create a cost certainty in a league that has anything but, especially when it comes to player cost. The NHL reported 19 clubs were losing money through the 2002-2003 and owners had lost over $1.5 billion over the current Collective Bargaining Agreement, which spans back to 1993. The primary reason for these losses are due to player salaries skyrocketing (550,000 to 1.8 billion from 1994-2002) and the fact that the players take a whopping 76 percent of the league revenue, by leaps and bounds more than any other professional sport in the U.S. For younger players who have moved on to Europe for this season such as Vin- cent Lecavalier, Petr Forsberg, Teemu Selanne and Saku Koivu, there will be a league to come back to eventually. However, for older players such as Chris Chellos, Brendan Shanahan and Mark Messier, the cancelled season may cut their careers shorter thanthey would have liked.

OPINION Goodenow and union largely to blame TONY ZOPPO SPORTS EDITOR I don't pretend to know what Bob Goodenow's job is like day in and day out but 1 do know one thing - he is the key to this NHL season being cancelled. The NHLPA is easily the weak- est union in major professional sports today. I'll be the first to say that the players are my favorite guys in the world. I love NHL players. But this lockout was a joke. Goodenow and the play- ers were unable to get together as an entire union and meet in the middle about the salary cap and revenue issue and put up a strong unified front against the owners. They had no negotia- tion credibility - simple as that. You had players who stated they'd accept a salary cap as lofig as they got to play hockey. There were other guys who didn't want the cap but were open to the link in revenue and salaries. Some players didn't want either. Oh, and when the NHLPA announced one of their first offers, that they would take a 24 percent pay cut, there were guys all over the league who had no idea that plan was going to be put on the table for the league to consider. The other issue that makes the NHLPA rightful goats in this despicable charade is that the NHL is right. I've never been a big fan of (iary Bettman but this league absolutely needs a cap or a link in revenue and player cost - there is no cost certainty what- see HOCKEY page 65 2-17-0 Callo youc THE!

The NFL has a system in which there is a salary cap and players receive 58 percent of what is called the Defined Gross Revenue, which is simply the total revenue the league receives. The main difference between the NFL and NHL however Is the NFL made over $5 billion last year whereas the NHL made $1.9 billion and almost 1.5 of it went toward player costs. For an even better example of how much player cost is hurting the league, check these numbers out. In 1993, for every 56 cents a player made, a team lost $1.54. In 2002, for every 1.79 a player made, the team lost $9.09. That's over a 300 percent increase in nine years. Over these last nine years, revenue has grown 173 percent while player costs shot to 263 percent. What is there to argue about?' Take the cap, take the link in revenue and costs, shut up and go make hockey better. Like it or not, Bettman holds all the cards and he's right. You can't bluff your way out of it and you're drawing dead. So much in fact that you killed an entire season. This writer can be contacted at sports@theeastcarolinian. com. NASCAR set to wave green flag on season at Daytona Racing organization continues to rise to top MATTHEW SAUNDERS STAFF WRITER This is always a tough time of year for diehard football fans like myself, a time of year where I try to come up with new ways to spend my Sunday afternoons for the next six months. After some careful delibera- tion and some soul searching 1 have come up with the perfect solution NASCAR racing. NASCAR is both exciting to watch and is widely regarded as the fastest growing profes- sional sports organization in the United States. In the past five years, NASCAR's popularity has grown leaps and bounds - it's no longer just a regionalized, "good ole boys" sport. There are tracks all over the country now, from New York to California to Texas and Illinois and, of course, the hotbed of NASCAR, North Carolina. The case can legitimately be made these days that NASCAR is the second most popular profes- sional sports organization in the United States, only behind the mega-popular NFL. At a time where Major League Baseball is dealing with a steroid's scandal, the NBA is dealing with a severe image crisis and the NHL is on its deathbed, NASCAR now has a better than average chance to become, without question, the number two spectator sport in the U.S. With Fox and NBC paying record deals to broadcast NASCAR see NASCAR page B6 Johnson fmwmimq; Free Cable TV Free Water & Sewer Pets Allowed With Fee Airimba Wireless Available Sparkling Swimming pool Professional On-Slte Management 24-hour Emergency Maintenance Laundry Center On ECU Bus Route WasherDryer Connections" Spacious Floor Plans !3nrn Stratford Arms PARTMEN 252.756.4800 .

NASCAR's TV ratings have grown considerably since the move to those networks. This past weekend was a prime exam- ple of how far NASCAR has come as far as TV viewership, with the Budweiser Shootout going up against the NFL Pro Bowl on Sunday. In last Thursday's USA Today, columnist Rudy Martzke wrote, "Five years ago the NFL's Pro Bowl dominated this week- end. Its 8.6 rating (percentage of TV homes) on ABC more than doubled the 3.8 rating on CBS for the weekend's NASCAR race Martzke wrote. "But with Sunday's Pro Bowl now on cable (ESPN), Saturday night's Budweiser Shootout on Fox figures to be this weekend's ratings king. NASCAR has seen a surge in popularity on televi- sion since it moved most races to broadcast networks, and Satur- day's race is expected to continue that trend NASCAR didn't just happen upon all its success though. Every sport needs great perform- ers, great personalities and great storylines. NASCAR has just that. You have your fan favorites like Dale Earnhardt Jr who is a great performer and has a story- line better than any Hollywood producer could ever dream up. Then you have other driv- ers like Jeff Gordon, who is also a great performer, but is despised by legions of fans because of his perceived arro- gance and overwhelming success. Then there are up-and-comers like JimmieJohnson, Kurt Busch and Kasey Kahne as well as old-hats like Dale Jarrett, Mark Martin and Rusty Wallace. All of these drivers make for must-see TV when they take to the track on weekends. With all that being said, NASCAR is set to begin its 2005 campaign - the "Super Bowl of Racing" or as others have come to know it, "The Great American Race" - The Daytona 500. The race is set for Sunday at 1 p.m. Last year's Daytona winner Dale Earnhardt Jr. is expected to have some stiff competition in the way of his quest to become the first back-to-back 500 winner since Sterling Marlin in 1994 - 1995. Two of the up-and-comers Jimmie Johnson and last season's points champion Kurt Busch are expected to battle Earnhardt Jr. Pole-sitter and two-time 500 champion Dale Jarrett, as well as Jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart and Earnhardt jrs DEI team- mate Michael Waltrip are also expected to compete with Earn- hardt Jr Johnson and Busch for the 500 title. There have been some great moments in the 500 over the years like Dale Earnhardt Srs first 500 win after numerous attempts, in 1998, Jarrett's battle with Earnhardt Sr. in 1993 on the last lap, to win and Earnhardt Jrs first 500 win last season. Before last season, NASCAR experienced some major changes with the loss of its title spon- sor after 34 years and the implementation of a brand new playoff system, aptly named the "Chase for the Cup Neither move was popular before the beginning of the season. After 34 years the famil- iar Winston Cup Series was replaced as the Nextel Cup Series. The new "Chase for the Cup" playoff system made it possible for only the top-10 drivers, after the first 27 races of the season, be eligible to win the points standings during the final 10 races of the season. Even though the "Chase for the Cup" was met with heavy opposition at the beginning of the season, the same couldn't be said at the end of the season. With the "Chase for the Cup" in play, NASCAR saw its tightest and most exciting points race in years, with Kurt Busch edging out Jimmie John- son by just a mere eight points. The "Chase for the Cup" will draw heavy anticipation this season, meanwhile the title sponsor, "Nextel Cup Series" will still take some getting used to. NASCAR might not have quite the same rich tradition as the NFL and it might not be quite as exciting, but I plan on giving NASCAR a chance this season. In this day-in-age NASCAR doesn't seem to have any dull moments. Last season we were treated to Earnhardt Jrs slip of the tongue, Gordon's car being showered with beer bot- tles after a Tailadega win and President Bush's surprise appear- ance at last year's Daytona 500. Expect more of the same this season. Gentlemen, start your engines. This writer can be contacted at sports@theeastcarolinian.com. ECU men's golf kicks off spring schedule in Florida Team places 16th in weekend tournament MATTHEW SAUNDERS STAFF WRITER The ECU men's golf team returned to action this past Monday and Tuesday after an almost three month layoff to place 16th at the UCFRio Pinar Intercollegiate in Orlando, Fla. The team showed a bit of rust in their return to action. Although the Pirates didn't finish the way they expected to, there were still some solid perfor- mances. Senior Adam Howell led the Pirates once again in scoring for the fifth time in seven tournaments spanning the fall season up until now, carding a seven-over par score of 223 for a tie of 37th place. Junior Robin Smith also had a decent showing with a 17-over par score of 231, which was good for a tie of 66th place. The Pirates started out slow in the first round on Monday with a total team score of 317, but progressed as the tourney wore on. In the second round, the team had a scpre of 307, then in the final round ECU posted a score of 294. Senior Brandon Pace carded a 1-under par score of 71 in the final round to go along with Howell's even-par performance of 72, also in the final round. The Pirates are hoping they can have more performances this spring similar to their collective 2nd place finish at the Pirate Fall Intercollegiate this past October. which was held here in Greenville at Bradford Creek Golf Club. Overall, this past tournament featured Confer- ence USA rivals UNC-Charlotte, Louisville and South Florida. The host team, Central Florida, came away with the victory led by their lone Senior Andreas Hoegberg who posted a total of 5-under par 211 which was also good enough to win the individual honors in the tournament. Next up for the Pirates is the Cleveland Collegiate Championship in Aiken, SC on March 14-15 and then the team will play host with the Bradford Creek Intercollegiate in Greenville on March 18-19.

It is a legal con- tract that needs to cover the basic terms of tenancy, including the fol- lowing items: Names of All Tenants Every adult who lives in the rental unit should be named as tenants and sign the lease or rental agree- ment. This can settle any rental payment disagreements with any roommates. Limits on Occupancy The agreement should clearly specify that the rental unit is the res- idence of only the tenants who have signed the lease. This guarantees the right to determine who lives in the property and to limit the number of occupants. This clause gives the landlord grounds to evict a tenant who moves in a friend or relative, or sublets the unit, without their per- mission. Term of the Tenancy Every rental document should state whether it is a rental agreement or a fixed-term lease. What's the difference between the two? Both rental agreements and fixed-term leases cover basic details such as tenants' names and rent provisions; they differ mainly in the length of the tenancy they create. Rental agreements usually run from month-to-month and self-renew unless terminated by the landlord or tenant. Leases, on the other hand, typically last a year. The choice will depend on the agreement with your landlord. Amount of Rent The lease should specify the amount of rent, when it is due (typically, the first of the month), and how it's to be paid, such as by mail to the office. To avoid confu- sion, there will be details such as: acceptable payment methods (such as personal check only), whether late fees will be due if rent is not paid on time, the amount of the fee, and whether or not there's any grace period, and any penalties if a rent check bounces. Deposits and Fees The use and return of security deposits is a frequent source of fric- tion between landlords and tenants, especially in college environments. To avoid confusion and legal hassles, the lease or rental agreement should be clear on: the dollar amount of the security deposit, how the deposit may be used (for example, for damage repair) and not used (such as for last month's rent), when and how the deposit will be returned and account for deductions after you move out, and any legal nonre- fillable fees, such as for cleaning or pets. It's also a good idea (and legally required in a few states and cities) to include details on where the deposit is being held and whether interest on the deposit will be paid. Repairs and Maintenance Clearly set out your and land- lord's responsibilities for repair and maintenance in your lease or rental agreement, including: the tenant's responsibility to keep the rental premises clean and sanitary and to pay for any damage caused by their abuse or neglect, a requirement that you are alerted to defective or dan- gerous conditions in the rental prop- erty, specific details on procedures for handling complaint and repair requests, and restrictions on repairs and alterations, such as adding a built-in dishwasher, installing a bur- glar alarm system or painting walls without permission. Entry to Property To avoid tenant claims of illegal entry or violation of privacy rights, the lease or rental agreement should clarify legal right of access to the property (for example, to make repairs) and how much advance notice the landlord will provide the tenant before entering. Restrictions on Tenant Illegal Activity To avoid trouble among tenants, prevent property damage and limit exposure to lawsuits from residents and neighbors, include an explicit lease or rental agreement clause pro- hibiting disruptive behavior such as excessive noise and illegal activity such as drug dealing. Other Important Rules and Restrictions If pets are allowed, specify any special restrictions such as a limit on the size or number of pets or a requirement that the tenant will keep the yard free of all animal wastes. Important rules and regu- lalions covering parking and use of common areas should be spe- cifically incorporated in the lease or rental agreement. TEC-MOBSMBiHUIDE 02-17-05 02-17-C Furnishing your apartment, house Ideas, tips for decorating on a tight budget You have just moved into your new apartment and besides paying for the monthly rent and bills, furnish- ing your new home is a priority. Putting together your perfect living space on a small budget may seem impossible, but it can be done. It just takes a little imagination to create a look that represents your unique style. Decorating on a budget begins with organization. The best way to get organized is to make a list of items you absolutely need, such as a bed frame or a kitchen table. If you need help getting ideas, housing supply stores like Linens 'N Things offer a detailed checklist of the essentials to get started. When shopping, compare prices between stores and look for sales before making any quick decisions and purchases. Sharing expenses with a roommate can also relieve the burden of spend- ing so much money on furniture sets. "I plan on having a roommate wfien I get an apartment. That way we can split the expenses for furni- ture, and we can have furniture we both like. At the same time, after splitting the cost we'll be able to spend the money we saved on other decorations and necessities for our place said Caitlin Hayes, freshman business major. A fully furnished apartment is another option. Even though the cost to live at the complex would typically be higher per month, you wouldn't have to worry about spend- ing so much money on furniture. That cost already is taken care of. "Moving into a fully furnished apartment saved me a lot of money in the long run. Besides that it helped me save time and the hassle of having to move furniture said Brandon Ikard, senior information technology major. Gift registry is another alternative. You can register your checklist at any store. This is a helpful way to let people know what you really need. Target is a great place to register. They have a wide variety of house ware and other apparel. From July to September the store sponsors a special promotion featuring a wide variety of decorating ideas for col- lege students. Other great, cheap places to look include local thrift stores, classified ads, garage sales and flea markets. You never know what you can find and sometimes the outcome pays off nicely. A used plaid sofa in decent condi- tion can be transformed with a fitted slipcover. An old, scratched night- stand might just need a little sand- ing and a couple coats of paint to make a conversation piece. The total price of these minor projects should add up to a fraction of what a new item would cost. Recycling pieces of furniture from other rooms, your parents' basement or attic can also reveal ideas. "I brought a lot of random things that my parents didn't use anymore with me said Layne Barnard, senior nursing major. Salvaging furnishings is by far the most economical way to go. Maybe a desk that doesn't get used often can be placed in the bedroom as a vanity. An old bureau can be converted to an entertainment center. Small, simple changes can go a long way. Even if you do not consider your- self handy, according to Bedbathand- beyond.com, the small things you change or add to a room are what make it feel complete. You can create your own artwork by gathering memorabilia from around the house and putting it together as a color- ful collage. Curtains can be dyed or sewn for a brighter look. Carpet can be cut into area rugs. Even some- thing as cheap and easy as covering the walls with posters and pictures is a great alternative to painting or wallpaper, especially in rental apart- ments where you are forbidden to paint. Once decor is matched by paint, pulled together with fabric and accented with your own color and style, no one will know how much (or little) you spent to accomplish your personalized and unique look.

Once you arrive at college, however, this often changes and quite dramatically. Unless you are very independent or willing to shoulder the burden of all your housing costs alone, you will prob- ably share your collegiate experience with at least one roommate. Having a roomie can be a defining factor in shaping your experience at school. If a college freshman isn't plan- ning to room with a friend from home, they go "pot-luck meaning they are matched with someone they didn't know beforehand. Getting an assigned roommate can be like receiv- ing an automatic new friend. Having a roommate can prove to be a comfort in times of need, especially during those awkward first few weeks when you are suddenly disconnected from everything you have ever known to be stable. However, once you've adusted and moved past the homesickness, you may actually start enjoying your new life away from the parents. It's time to begin a journey for yourself and your neighbor whose own bed just hap- pens to be feet from your own. It may be strange at first living with this new person, so it is best to remem- ber to keep an open mind. There is no set standard for what a roommate must act or look like. In fact, don't be alarmed if this new person is the opposite of you. Just think of it as a chance to learn and grow. Also, don't forget to be respectful of your roommate's belongings. If you want to borrow something, you must ask and get their permission - if you don't ask, you don't borrow. One good way to avoid potential problems like this is to establish some simple guidelines regarding each other's items as soon as you move in together. Make it dear verbally or in written form what you mind or don't mind your roommate using. It's your stuff and you have the absolute right to total control over what is and isn't done with your belongings. Always keep in mind that accidents do happen, things may get broken and sometimes roommates don't act the way you wish they would. "I totally live with five of the nasti- est roommates ever. One of them has two cats and they are always crawling all over my fabric swatches, one has enough clothes to fill a warehouse, which bugs me and the other guy chews tobacco all day and watches soap operas said Chad Crafford, sophomore interior design major. Pick your battles and don't fuss over every little thing your roommate does that rubs you the wrong way. At the same time, don't let anyone take advantage of you or your things. It may sound old-fashioned but do unto others as you would have them do unto you. "Having a roommate brings a lot of pros and cons said Carry Callahan, senior apparel merchandising major. "I love always having someone to hang out with but sometimes things don't get put back where you left them and this can be a problem The main thing to always remem- ber when living with other people is to try to be patient and respectful. If there is a mutual trust and camarade- rie among roommates, the situation will run much more smoothly. This writer can be contacted at featurei@theeastcarolinian.com.

Chances are after a year or two of dorm life, students will begin searching for more private and roomier domains to spend the remainder of their college careers. While off-campus prospects are tempting, locating a place with the convenience afforded by the dorms at a comparable price is challenging. Many students find that all-inclusive apartments such as Pirate's Cove, River Pointe, Campus Pointe and University Manor provide the best alternative. "I really just wanted to get out of the dorms said Matthew Roehrich, junior jazz studies major. "I often practice my horn until the late hours of the night, so it was disturbing to my roommate to come in late all of the time. At Pirate's Cove, I can come and go as I please Finding the right apartment com- plex for your personality can be a daunting task. Each complex offers a certain atmosphere and different amenities that may or may not be to your liking. Each of the major com- plexes - Pirate's Cove, University Manor, River Pointe and Campus Pointe - guarantee electricity, Eth- ernet, cable television, individual washer and dryer, furniture, a full range of kitchen appliances and fitness facilities. The differences in these complexes basically boil down to miniscule details such as the number of premium channels offered within the cable package, the number of tanning beds, basketball courts or tennis courts. Prices fluc- tuate between $387 and $435 per month for rent. The trade-off for an all-inclusive and fully furnished apartment as opposed to a traditional apartment without furnishings is that your cre- ativity is restricted. Pre-chosen fur- niture and carpeting limit the decor that can be tastefully displayed. Such is the advantage of complexes like Pirate's Place where you must provide your own furniture, which also causes the rent to be cheaper. However, utilities are an additional cost, whereas the charge for utilities is already figured into the price for all-inclusive apartments. "Usually, it runs about $400 to $425 for me to live in Pirates Place per month said Cindy Hill, junior chemistry major. "It's also close to campus, which makes it especially convenient Any apartment has its disadvan- tages when compared to the dorms. While students may grumble about the quality of food provided at the dining halls and other campus eat- eries, there is no denying the con- venience of being able to walk five minutes and eat a buffet-style meal. Additional time must be budgeted into the day of an apartment dweller to prepare meals. As a result, eating healthy is more difficult, especially for less-than-kitchen-sawy students who opt for frozen pizzas and meals made by the likes of Banquet and Hungry Man. Additionally, apartment residents must become accustomed to catch- ing the bus to campus. If you wake up at 8:50 a.m. for a 9 a.m. class, you might still be able to make it to your seat on time if you live on campus. However, if you live in an apartment, it is likely you have missed the bus at least once and had to wait 20 more minutes before making it to class. One extra push of the snooze button in an apartment complex is tanta- mount to an unexcused absence instead of a tardy if you live in the dorms. The buses generally run on a 20 to 30 minute cycle in the all- inclusive complexes. Even worse than the loss of con- venience, some students miss the social aspects of the dorm. "In the dorm it was a lot easier to make friends and get involved in things like intramurals. It was kind of forced on you said Luke Spencer, junior political science major. "I still go eat at Todd for lunch a couple of times per week because it's so convenient. It's the little things like daily newspapers and the ability to walk to the Galley and use decline that made the dorms hospitable While the dorms are convenient, most students are more than satis- fied with their apartments. "I can do what I want, when I want said Matthew Cook, senior biology major. "I have my own room with a door I can lock when I need my own space, and I don't have to feel guilty for hogging the room and impeding on my roommate. It's been worth every penny to be free of the dorm If you wish to live in an all-inclu- sive apartment, it's important to move fast. Last year, Pirate's Cove was full by the latter part of March and space in the other complexes was taken soon after.
