Students create new TV program Show to air on Campus Living channel LAUREN DONOVAN STAFF WRITER A group of approximately 12 ECU communication students have developed a new TV show that focuses on the premise for students, by students. The show is a new all-student production, which offers fun, informational entertainment for both ECU students and faculty. Catherine Grimes, junior broadcast journalism major, is co-host of the newly created program. "We all came up with the idea for producing our own show after taking Dr. Tropf's class. We enjoyed it so much that we wanted it to continue said Grimes. This group put together a show they hope will reach stu- dents both on and off campus. It airs Wednesdays on the Campus Living channel, 31. The show offers a unique mix of entertainment. Students con- duct interviews with prominent people around campus. They also feature stories about new events going on around campus and they have just introduced a new section called ECU cribs, where members of the student crew visit dorm rooms and off-campus housing of fellow students. "We want to produce a show that interests students and also keeps them up to date with ECU k 1 V H 1 -i" � Li " "11�� U ill I 1 ��A a�1 .�im.1 A group of communication students put together a new studio for their show dedicated to the student population and campus events. news and events Grimes said. The group films their on-set broadcasts from the studio in Joyner. "We worked hard to take the drab studio and transform it into a comfortable, relaxed set Grimes said. Though the students just began their new show, they have goals set that they hope to accom- plish in the near future. "It would be great if Channel 23 could pick up the show. That way, everyone in the Greenville community would have access to the program Grimes said. Grimes explained what a great experience the show has been so far. Before the group started, the students hardly knew each other but they have all worked together and become a great team. Rebekah Page, sophomore health services major, said she loved the idea of a student-based program. "I think that it is a great way to get students involved, espe- cially those students who would not usually get their faces out there said Page. Forrest Hill, junior business major, was also excited to see the new show.

SpeechEasy technology helps reduce stuttering MICHAEL HARRINGTON SENIOR WRITER A device developed by researchers at ECU has been used to reduce stuttering through use of altered auditory feedback and is currently being marketed by the Janus Development Group Inc. SpeechEasy devices are worn in the ear, similar to hearing aids, and allow people with stuttering problems the ability to have their speech digitally replayed to them through a system of altered audi- tory feedback, which changes the pitch of their voice when it is played back, inducing fluency. Studies have shown when people who stutter talk in unison with others, the stutter is reduced. The digital replay creates the per- ception within the brain that the individual is speaking in unison and thereby reduces the tendency to stutter. "What is unique about this particular device is that it is the first self-contained, cosmetically appealing device that can be worn said Andrew Stuart, asso- ciate professor of communication sciences and disorders. Stuart, along with Joseph Kalinowski, associate professor of communication sciences and disorders, and Michael Rastatter, chairman and professor of com- munication sciences and disor- ders, developed the SpeechEasy device over a 10-year period of research. While knowledge of audi- tory feedback and its benefits to people who stutter has been available for more than 40 years, it was only recently that a change in approach coupled with tech- nological advances allowed the devices to be made small enough for use outside of a clinical setting. The change in approach dealt with how the results of auditory feedback were interpreted. It was originally thought the reduction of stuttering due to auditory feedback was a result of the speaker having to slow down. Therefore, traditional therapeutic efforts in the past 40 years have stressed speaking slowly to reduce stuttering. Stuart said their research showed that people who stutter could talk just as fluently when they spoke quickly, leading them to look into auditory causes for the reduction of stuttering instead of treating it as a motor disorder. "Our first research showed that if you asked someone to speak as fast as they could and they were fluent, that it didn't have anything to do with slowing down. It had to with the auditory effect Stuart said. In 2001, ECU granted licens- ing and marketing rights to Janus, who has sold the device across the United States. The product has received some criticism from those who say that eventually the brain will adapt, making the product useless. Stuart said research has indi- cated that it has worked for indi- viduals over a significant period of time and that criticisms of the SpeechEasy device are just people being resistant to change. The cause for stuttering Is unknown and it is more common in men. "One percent of the popula- tion stutters and that is consistent across the globe Stuart said. Jenny Allen, freshman mer- chandising major, said the device' shows that our campus is involved. see DEVICE page A3 Sisters with Kappa Delta Sorority stood on Greenville Boulevard holding signs publicizing their "Bouncy-Thon" Shamrock event, an annual program designed to raise money for Child Abuse America.

African American radio personality, former BET host speaks on campus Bev Smith came to ECU to discuss racial issues. Smith voices racial concerns of society CASSIE DARKES STAFF WRITER Bev Smith, renowned African American radio talk show host, was the keynote speaker in a discussion Friday about several racial issues in honor of the Ledo- nia Wright Cultural Center Day. The theme of the program was "Our Responsibility as Amer- icans: Family, Education and Civic Responsibility The focus of Smith's presenta- tion was the problems apparent in communities across America and the world, mainly In Afri- can American communities. She acknowledged the fact that America is not a homogenous society. "Our country is at war. Most will think that when I say 'at war I am saying at war with Afghani- stan, at war with Iraq but I'm talking about here In America said Smith. Smith pointed out the polar- ity present today and the sepa- ration mostly between African American people and Caucasian people. "Our country is at war inter- nally because we are polarized in this country more than ever before, white against blacks - the newspapers are not reporting it Smith said. The majority of the audience was African American, but there were several Caucasian students In attendance. Lindsey Scherer, senior health education major, was one of these students. "Even though we have come so far, there is still so much fur- ther to go there is still so much separation said Scherer. "I'm interning in a classroom and I notice the separation. Even today, 1 notice the races are against each other because I've seen it here on campus Smith spoke of some of the disadvantages of African Ameri- can people. African Americans face every disease in America in greater numbers. Eighty percent of children in foster homes are African American, some African American musical celebrities use derogatory terms in their music and some African American women have to take their chil- dren to jail on Sundays to visit their fathers. "Sunday is family day at the prison. Mothers put their baby on their hip and take their children to the jail to see their father. It is training African American chil- dren to accept jail as an accept- able place for a black male to be Smith said. The title of this program began with the word "our" and Smith pointed out how African Americans feel that fewer things can be classified as "ours" in society. This is not only with African American people either. Everyone is cutting everyone out. This was a heated issue with Smith. "We are cutting each other out - there is no more 'our' - we separate ourselves. With every- thing that we have gone through, how dare we separate ourselves see HOST page A2 thought of the idea to have a show that focuses on our school I bet students will enjoy watch- ing it said Hill. Students involved with the production and around campus are excited to see if this new student based program will be successful. This writer can be contacted at news@theeastcarolinian.com. Steven Gray asks students questions concerning gender. Leadership retreat educates students Main focus gender related issues MICHAEL HARRINGTON SENIOR WRITER Student Leadership Devel- opment Programs hosted a leadership retreat Saturday in Mendenhall to further educate participants on issues surround- ing gender in society. The retreat gave participants the opportunity to attend work- shops, dine together and listen to several speakers specializing on gender issues. The focus of the retreat addressed and explained issues people face in society today relating to gender. Workshops were hosted by a variety of different campus officials and were split into two sessions, allowing those on the retreat to pick the two workshops that interested them the most. There were a total of six workshops at the retreat. Each encouraged active discussion and participation from attendees.

A workshop titled "Strong Bodies, Strong Leaders was also held during the first session and was co-hosted by Suzanne McDonald, coordinator of fit- ness and Leslie Warren, fitness program assistant. In this workshop they com- pared leadership to the five components of fitness, which are muscular strength, endurance, flexibility, cardiovascular endur- ance and body composition. "A leader needs to be flexible and see projects through to the end to show strength said Warren. Georgia Childs, assistant director for peer health in Stu- dent Wellness Education and Ty wanna Jeffries, assistant direc- tor in Student Wellness Edu- cation, hosted a workshop in each session focusing on health issues.

ECU students Terry Gore and Erica Hink hosted a workshop called "Eliminating the Battle of the Sexes where attendees interacted in a variety of games meant to force cooperation and teamwork among the opposite sexes. Following these sessions, the men and women were separated, faced each other and were given the chance to ask the opposite sex a variety of questions about their views and attitudes toward sexuality and its impact on our society. Questions ranged from why males show little emotion to how a female would let a male see RETREAT page A3 INSIDE I News: A2 I Classifieds: A10 I Opinion: A4 I Scene: A5 I Sports: A7 Page A2 news@theeastcarolinian.com 252.328. 6366 NEWS NICK HENNE News Editor KRISTIN DAY Assistant News Editor 3-8-05 TUESDAY March 8, 2005 Campus News Professional Trainer Session Get tips from professionals about how to get motivated, gain good habits, exercise the correct way and learn about diets that help your body March 8 from 7 - 8 p.m. in Mendenhall Student Center.

Kenneth Oxendine, 30, and Patrick Curtis Lowery, 23, escaped about 3 a.m. Sunday from the minimum- security prison, said Sandy Thomas, superintendent of the Robeson Correctional Center. Thomas said the men walked out of their dormitory and scaled a fence to get away. Prison guards realized that the men were missing during a 4 am. bed check, Thomas said. Lowery, who was in prison for kidnapping his child's mother, went to the woman's home in Lumberton about 3:30 a.m, Thomas said. Thomas said the woman called law enforcement officers Sunday morning and said Lowery had been at her home. Lowery's brother, Joshua Hunt, 21, was arrested Sunday on a charge of aiding and abetting an escape after the woman said he drove Lowery to her home. His bail was set at $5,000. Lowery, who was serving a 37- month sentence, had four months left on his sentence. Oxendine, who was convicted of child abuse, was serving a 33-month sentence. His release date was set for July 21,2006. Thomas said the escapees had contacted other family members. Bodies of drowning victims recovered In Warrenton pond WARRENTON, NC - Authorities retrieved the bodies of two men who drowned while fishing in a pond outside Warrenton on Saturday. The victims were identified as James Brown, 48,ofVaughan and Albert "Gramps' Pettaway Jr 53, of Manson. Emergency responders were summoned Friday night after a man whom police declined to identify reported that his two companions had fallen into the water out of a boat from which they were fishing. A search and dive team arrived about 7 p.m but officials decided conditions were too dangerous for divers at that time. Bob Neal, assistant chief of the Wan-en Rural Fire Department, said three dive teams began searching about 9 a.m. Saturday. The first body was found about 10 a.m. and the second was retrieved roughly 15 minutes later. Both were found in four feet of water, having drifted a distance from the boat The Warren County Sheriff's Office declined to comment on the cause of the accident. National Schwarzenegger says he wants to ban Junk food In schools COLUMBUS, Ohio - California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger wants to pump up his state's students with vegetables, fresh fruits and milk. "First of all, we in California this year are introducing legislation that would ban all the sale of junk food in the schools Schwarzenegger said during a question-and-answer session with fans on the final day of the Arnold Classic, the annual bodybuilding contest that bears his name. He said junk food would be pulled from school vending machines in favor of healthier foods, including fruits and vegetables. After the session Sunday, the governor's aides said Schwarzenegger supports a bill by Democratic state Sen. Martha Escutia that would ban soft drinks at public schools. The administration also hopes to develop a more comprehensive legislative package dealing with snack foods later in the year, said Chief of Staff Pat Clarey, although she added it might not eliminate all junk food from schools. Schwarzenegger said he still does 30 to 45 minutes of cardlo each day and lifts weights about four days a week. He said he misses doing heavy lifting, but doctors banned it after his heart surgery In 1997. U.S. government, Microsoft nemesis, buys rival's software WASHINGTON - The Justice Department, which challenged Microsoft Corp. in courtrooms for nearly a decade over antitrust violations, will pay more than $2 million each year to buy business software from Corel Corp a leading Microsoft rival. The new purchase agreement, announced Monday, makes the latest version of Corel's WordPerfect Office software available to more than 50,000 lawyers and other Justice employees. That includes the department's antitrust division, which successfully sued Microsoft over illegal efforts to dominate the software Industry but negotiated a settlement later to end the company's court appeals. The deal, worth up $13.2 million over five years for Ontario-based Corel, Illustrates that Microsoft, the world's largest software company, still faces pockets of intense competition in the industry it dominates. It also represents a high-profile sale for Corel among lawyers, where it traditionally has enjoyed a loyal following. "It's a big win for them said Joe Wilcox, a software analyst for Jupiter Media. The Justice Department is kind of a showcase agency Corel's chief executive, Amish Mehta, said the software sale was among the company's largest worldwide. Corel is Initially charging the government $40 per copy to upgrade from an earlier WordPerfect version to its newest software, the government said. Privately held Corel does not disclose sales figures. Microsoft sold $2.8 billion worth of its Office software programs in the final three months of 2004. International Syria, Lebanon say troop pullback will be completed DAMASCUS, Syria - The presidents of Syria and Lebanon announced Monday that Syrian troops will pull back to Lebanon's eastern Bekaa Valley by March 31, but a complete troop withdrawal will be deferred until later negotiations. The announcement, made after a meeting between Syrian President Bashar Assad and Lebanese President Emile Lahoud, said Syrian troops would pull back from northern and central Lebanon to the east, near Syria's border. Then, rfiilitary officials from both countries will decide within a month how many Syrian troops will remain In the Bekaa Valley and how long they will stay there. After a negotiated timeframe, the two governments will "agree to complete the withdrawal of the remaining forces the statement said. The agreement did not set a specific timetable for that complete withdrawal, which could fall short of international demands that Syria completely pull its troops from its eastern neighbor. However, it stated, The Syrian and Lebanese agree on continuing the withdrawal of Syrian Arab forces Later, journalists saw two Syrian military trucks loaded with furniture heading east up the Lebanese mountains in the first sign of a pullback. In Lebanon, more than 30,000 ardent protesters gathered at a central square to continue weeks of demands that Syria leave. Monday's meeting came amid intense U.Sled international pressure on Syria to withdraw its army from Lebanon and to stop interfering in its smaller neighbor's affairs. Killed Italian Intelligence officer to be burled In state funeral ROME - Hundreds of people flocked to a Rome church Monday to pay their last respects to an Italian intelligence officer shot and killed by American troops In Iraq while escorting an ex-hostage to freedom. The state funeral of Nicola Calipari in the Santa Maria degli Angeli church in downtown Rome was expected to draw the country's president, Carlo Azeglio Ciampi, and other top officials. U.S. Ambassador Mel Sembler and Mayor Walter Veltronl were among those attending, news reports said. The funeral came after Calipari's body lay in state at Rome's Vittoriano monument, with tens of thousands of people streaming past the flag- draped coffin since the body returned from Iraq on Saturday night. Meanwhile, the hostage whose life Calipari saved said it was possible they were targeted deliberately because the United States opposes Italy's policy of negotiating with kidnappers, and promised Calipari's widow to find out why they were attacked. Journalist Gluliana Sgrena, who was abducted Feb. 4 in Baghdad, was recovering in a Rome hospital from a shrapnel wound to the shoulder and was not expected to attend the funeral. Calipari was killed when U.S. troops at a checkpoint fired at their vehicle Friday as they headed to the airport shortly after her release. HOSl from page A1 Smith said. Smith closed her speech by having everyone in the audi- ence find a complete stranger. Everyone was asked to get better acquainted with each other and to help close some of the gaps in society. Nancy Mize, assistant vice chancellor for recreational ser- vices, agreed with many points Smith addressed. "Society needs to change and we need to start respecting one another because if we don't quit fighting among ourselves, then we aren't going to survive said Mize. Bev Smith is a former host of Black Entertainment Televi- sion's show "Our Voices Her career as a radio and television talk show personality has covered two decades. She cur- rently hosts her own radio talk show entitled "The Bev Smith Show" in which she discusses issues ranging from politics to health care issues of African Americans. Smith's speech was well received by the audience and many echoes of agreement were heard throughout the program. She has been to ECU before and she was thankful for being invited back again.

After this session, attendees formed a circle and were asked a series of more personal, con- fidential questions. These ques- tions ranged from experiences with true love and their virginity to their experiences with drugs, alcohol and confrontations with the law. This activity allowed the participants to see some of their peers that have been through these personal experiences and they are not alone. The students and program organizers reacted positively to the day's events. "I think it was great.

Long-term CIA member speaks on U.S. Intelligence John Stolz visited ECU and lectured attendants on different areas concerning U.S. intelligence. Seventh speaker featured in Great Decisions series CHRIS MUNIER STAFF WRITER A former World War II veteran and member of the CIA addressed ECU students and faculty Sat- urday at Rivers Auditorium. John Stolz, former CIA deputy director of operations, gave insight on the 911 Commission Report, foreign liaisons, John Negroponte's appointment as director of national intelligence and reform to the infrastructure of U.S. intelligence. When mentioning Negro- ponte, Stolz said people thought he went from the second worst job in the country to the absolute worst job. Negroponte was made ambas- sador of Iraq in April 2004 and on Feb. 17,2005 was appointed as the first director of national intel- ligence. Stolz said he likes Negroponte but his job is nearly impossible to do correctly. Stolz does not agree with some of the intelligence reform methods because they sometimes focus exclusively on upper-level man- agement. "Rearranging the chairs on the A-deck is not the solution said Stolz. He said the challenge for the United States would be to train a new core of intelligence members to remedy the existing bureaucracy. "It will take years to build a viable and clandestine system Stolz said. Stolz said the 911 Commission Report was well written and included a thorough search but he does not like the commission's recommendations. He said most of the suggestions had already been tried but were riddled with shortcomings. "A lot of it is motherhood 'do this' and 'do that Stolz said. One of the biggest problems Stolz mentioned was lack of col- laboration between agencies. The CIA was created in 1947 during the Cold War and was designed to catch foreign nationals who were working as spies. At the time it was created, President Truman was concerned about the agency getting too involved with domestic intelligence. Stolz said Truman's fears were legitimate and a clash between the FBI and CIA occurred. There is still a lingering discord between the two agencies. Stolz also has problems with the ambiguity of intelligence reports. He said reports regarding threats are filled with phrases like "could "might" or "may "Intelligence reports are full of subjunctive Stolz said. He said political correctness is disrupting the efficiency. He did not want to talk about the Patriot Act specifically, but he mentioned he had problems with it. However, he thinks there should be some increased surveillance. "1 think there should be pro- filing Stolz said. Stolz questions some of the dramatic changes being done and is worried about the U.Ss para- noia-and habit of overreacting. "The greatest fear is that the terrorists will change us more than we have changed them Stolz said. The recent torture incidents in the Abu-Ghraib prison bother Stolz as well. He was horrified by the reports and said torture simply does not work - it is a useless procedure. Stolz is recognized as an authority on intelligence because of his long career with the CIA. lie is a two-time recipient of the CIA's Distinguished Intelligence Medal as well as the National Security Medal.

No one can get out of ECU without talking to someone, looking at someone or writing something. All of these forms of com- munication open the door for self-expression but also for misunderstanding. The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language defines miscommunication as "a lack of clear or adequate communication Anything that is written, spoken or expressed with body language has the potential to hurt someone or something. Group projects are an essential evil in college and everyone has to participate in one at some point. These "learning experiences" really do serve to show students that communication in the workplace will be important and they are good practice for the real world. They are also a perfect example of how miscommunication can lead to the downfall of a person or group. How can miscommunication be prevented? A few simple steps will help people to commu- nicate better in everything they do. At work, in personal relationships, in class and with friends, the most important thing to remember is to think before you speak. What kind of impact will this comment have on the receiver? Will this comment potentially cause others to view you in an undesirable way? What may seem simple to you could really hurt or offend someone else. Always get your facts straight before you make a big stink over something. Don't jump into any situation without the proper background infor- mation and have all of your thoughts straight before you start blabbing. If you need them, make some notes to keep your thoughts in order. When in doubt, cover your butt. If you don't know whether someone understood what you were talking about, ask them. If you think someone may make a mistake, prevent it from happening. If there is doubt that someone will do something, ask them or do it yourself. Placing blame on others is unacceptable if you didn't do everything in your power to prevent miscommunication. Step up and be account- able for your actions and voice. Our Staff Amanda Q.

Competition is a double-edged sword RACHEL LANDEN RIVAL SIBLING Although ECU has no place in the collegiate clash between UNC and Duke, there is no escaping the famed rivalry that separates these two schools by a greater distance than their geographical locations. The rivalry, arguably one of the greatest in sports history, couldn't have been better contrived if it were fiction. It is a classic battle between neighbors, complete with contrasting symbols of public versus private, light versus dark. Yet for all the dissimilarities, UNC and Duke have a lot in common. Both have strong national reputations for their academics and athletics, and they're just nine miles apart. Maybe proximity pushes them to constantly battle in order to best the other. Whoever wins the latest basketball game is, for a brief moment in time, the better team. They get the attention, the accolades and perhaps most notably, the bragging rights. These spoils, whether in college basketball or even in a family, are sometimes enough to propel us to work that much harder. A little (friendly) competition can be a good thing. Feeling an external push to achieve can help us to realize greater success than we might otherwise reach. However, competition often has a negative connotation. It suggests jealousy, treachery and aggression. It can put two people (or groups) against each other who, in other circumstances, might be friends and teammates because of their commonalities. Competition is at the very center of some of the most tragic relation- ships in history. The legend of the city of Rome's origin is steeped in sibling rivalry. The myth tells the story of twins Romulus and Remus who decided to each build a city on the Tiber River. Decrees from heaven stated that Romulus' city would be larger than that of his brother. When the city was complete and the walls built, Remus "perhaps feeling the pangs of jealousy" mocked his brother. Romulus retaliated by murdering his own flesh and blood. Sound familiar? The Bible tells of Cain and Abel, the sons of Adam and Eve. Cain, whose jealousy seemed to consume him, murdered his younger brother. Certainly we have all felt a part of the jealousy experienced by Remus and Cain. And really, that's OK, if we don't let it overwhelm us. It can be productive but it can also destroy. Maybe finding the balance between healthy competitions and encouraging support is another of those things that doesn't necessarily come with age, but with maturity. I, for one, think that I'm getting closer. There has always been this unspoken struggle between my sister and me - one that we won't admit but I think we both recognize. Finally, though, we may be leaving that in the past. I get that feeling whenever she congratulates me on something I've done or when I'm genuinely pulling for her to overcome an obstacle. I don't get jealous when I'm talking to my parents and the subject centers around my sister. I know that we both have our strengths and our weaknesses, some that we share and some that are unique to each of us. And that's a relief, because I know I'll never have to compete with her on a basketball court to win a title or in life to be the more accomplished daughter. We can be right down the road from each other or in the same room and still win without the other losing. A little competition might help us get there but a lot of support and encouragement will probably get us farther. That's the best way for each of us to succeed, and better yet, to be happy. Letters to the Editor Dear Editor, The inaugural game at Clark- LeClair stadium has come and gone, and resulted in a win for the Pirates, but not necessarily for the students. I strongly believe.it is the students who make a university what it is. When I was making my decision of where to go to college one of the things that I really loved about ECU was that it seemed to truly be a school of students and for the students, not a school run and dominated by its alumni. Now don't get me wrong, I certainly appre- ciate all that the Pirate Club has done and continues to do for our university through financial support, but this time I think the Pirate Club has let us down. Just as the forefathers of our country said that those who are able to protect the best interests of our coun- try are also obligated to do so, today here at ECU it is the duty of the alumni to protect the best interests of our university. In this case the Pirate Club donates the money and so they are responsible for making sure that the money goes to causes that are in the best interest of ECU and everyone who is a part of it. I think that in this situation they have looked out for themselves more so than for every- one involved with the university. The new stadium is beautiful, and I think that it is fit for our wonderful university, but we cannot lose sight of what made the jungle what it was - the atmosphere of being able to cook out right there at the game, to have a dog come out and support the Pirates and be able to drink a beer with your friends and watch the game. I feel like that has been lost in the build- ing of this fancy new stadium, and I think that if something isn't done about it the fan support will suffer. I will be back, because I love baseball and I love this university, but I am afraid that the majority of the stu- dent population for whom a baseball game wasn't just a baseball game, but also a place to get together with friends and have a good time will be lost, and until then I hopethePirateClub will enjoy their front row parking in the jungle. Gus Willis Sophomore, business management Dear Editor, Another reason to legalize can- nabis is that it is Biblically correct in response to March 2's "Living in a culture of fear"). It is no accident that the Bible indicates God created all the seed-bearing plants and said they were all good, on literally the very first page in Genesis 1:11-12 and 29-30. The only Biblical restriction placed on cannabis (kaneh bosm, before the King James Bible) is that we use it with thanksgiv- ing (see 1 Timothy 4:1-5), where it even describes who will promote its prohi- bition as those who have fallen away from the faith. It is time to stop caging humans for using what is good. Stan White Dillon, Colo. Dear Editor From John Bream's writing (in March 2's "Living in a culture of fear) it appears that he intends to pursue a medical career. 1 would suggest that you read the Chronic Use Study done by Dr. Ethan Russo of the University of Montana and GW Pharmaceuticals. GW is a British corporation, which is bringing cannabis-based medicine to the market with the marketing done by Bayer. The study I refer to follows patients who have been using the low- quality government-provided medical marijuana long term, without nega- tive effects to their lungs in particular and their health in general. Of course higher-grade marijuana requires less smoke to provide the benefits found by many. RR Gregg Marshville, NC Dear Editor, John Bream in March 2's "Living in a culture of fear" makes the common mistake of assuming punitive mari- juana laws actually reduce use. The University of Michigan's Monitoring the Future Study reports that lifetime use of marijuana is higher in the United States than any European country, yet America is one of the few Western countries that uses its criminal justice system to punish citizens who prefer marijuana to martinis. The short-term health effects of marijuana are incon- sequential compared to the long-term effects of criminal records. Unfortu- nately, marijuana represents the coun- terculture to many Americans. In subsidizing the prejudices of culture warriors, government is sub- sidizing organized crime. The drug war's distortion of immutable laws of supply and demand make an easily grown weed literally worth its weight in gold. The only clear winners in the war on marijuana are drug cartels and shameless tough-on-drugs politicians who've built careers on confusing drug prohibition's collateral damage with a relatively harmless plant. The big losers in this battle are the American taxpayers. Students who want to help end the intergenerational culture war otherwise known as the war on some drugs should contact Students for Sen- sible Drug Policy at ssdp.org.

And when you head me tell my friend what you didj don't turn around and look art me like I'm stupid. You were the stupid one. To the person who said we should get rid of the Pirate Rant: j It is in the paper because people i like yourself write dumb com ments for everyone to laugh at or J agree with. Get over it. Thank goodness for the smok- ing ban. I think since being on this campus my asthma has gotten three times worse. At least be considerate of others. Smok- ers, look around you before you light up. This is a response to the rant about getting rid of the Pirate Rant so more schools will take us seriously: Maybe you should do a little bit of research on all the national rankings and accomplishments of this univer- sity before you decide to talk. If Pirate Rant embarrasses you, maybe you shouldn't be in this school because it doesn't need your pity. To the anti-smoking wacko: I understand you don't want to inhale "harmful second-hand smoke but the smoking commu- nity has jumped through many hoops over the years to provide you with your right not to have to inhale smoke. Smoking used to be allowed in movie theaters, elevators, planes and even class- rooms. Now, smokers are being persecuted for smoking outside. It's ridiculous. Where are smokers supposed to go? Is there any way I can petition against a student coming here in the fall? Or can ECU make a policy that your ex can't come to ECU? Not only that but why must he live in the same dorm as me and try to get into every class I am in? This could be intentional stalking to the first degree. I know some of you ladies feel me on this, right? Dude, what happened to the crossword puzzles? There used to be one in the paper every day. Now, it's rare to see one in there once a week. What's going on? Did anybody ever think that with how many people smoke on this campus that removing it from high-traffic areas will just make new and harder to get through traffic areas? I hope everybody complain- ing about second-hand smoke doesn't ever go downtown because it's twice as worse in a bar or club. What's the big deal if some- body smokes outside on campus? I don't smoke and I deal with it. What's up with people in last week's rant calling babies "consequences?" Were you that bad of a child to think having a kid is a consequence? Can people really be that selfish? Let's hope you never do have kids because I will probably end up adopting them. Just a little JYI for the ladies: Second-hand smoke doubles your risk of cervical cancer. So for all of us non-smoking ladies that have to fight our way through the smoke haze outside everyday, we're screwed. How come those in charge of the new baseball stadium can pull together and get it finished in time for the tournament, and yet the opening date for the new West End Dining Hall changes every week? Who's in charge of this thing? To the guy who says that people who wear Sperry topsiders and don't own a boat are posers: Wow do you know who owns a boat by looking at them? Rock- port topsiders are the hot stuff, anyway. Girls in baseball caps are hot. It gives them that "rugged yet feminine" look, and I like.

ECU alumni Mark Kemp explains the 'Hospitality of Southern Rock' KYLE BILLINGS STAFF WRITER Along with strong academics and excellence in many fields, ECU is also known for propel- ling people into influence in all realms of society. Sandra Bullock, Vince McMahon and NFL quar- terback Jeff Black all cheered for the men and women in purple and gold. Among these successful people that have walked through Wright Plaza, gotten tickets at Mendenhall and perhaps par- taken in the delicious cuisine at Mendenhall, is a man known as Mark Kemp. The class of 1983 included an English major, Mark Kemp, who would diversify his career resume with posts at prestigious establishments. His forte is and remains spotlighting entertain- ment, and since his graduation, he has worked with Discover Magazine, Rolling Stone as a music editor, MTV as the music editorial vice president and was nomi- nated for a Grammy for his linear notes on the CD compilation entitled Farewells and Fantasies by the 1960's protest singer Phil Ochs. Currently he is the enter- tainment editor at The Charlotte Observer. His most recent work is entitled Dixie Lullaby: A Story or Music, Race and New Beginnings in a New South. In his new book, Kemp pieces together a personal memoir of the historical experiences during his lifetime, and the influence of the South and its music had on him. And what person doesn't have a certain song that takes them to a place in time's past? A memorable album often is the most legiti- mate piece to the puzzle that con- nects us to our pasts. For Kemp it was Southern rock, and how the sound of The Allman Brothers and Lynyrd Skynyrd resonated in him, providing a new affin- ity toward music.

The stunt, a parody of Jackson's Super Bowl "wardrobe malfunction" of 2004, involved Anna Nicole pulling down her dress to reveal both her breasts, each of which sported the MTV logo.

Assistant Features Editor TUESDAY March 8, 2005 Art to be displayed in campus gallery TREVOR WORDEN STAFF WRITER What is a great way to pass time between classes or when you are not doing anything? Try visiting Gray Art Gallery located in the Jenkins art building begin- ning this Wednesday. Carefully chosen pieces made by ECU undergraduate students will be displayed, and be available for viewing until April 9. More than 200 art pieces were submitted for display in the show, but only the best representations of each genre were chosen. There were seven teachers, dubbed the title of, "area coordinators" who selected the artwork to be seen in the show, one of which was Paul Hartley. He said while one teacher could really like a particular piece, each work had to be voted upon by all seven teachers before it was submitted into the show. When asked what he considered good art, Hartley said, "Good art varies - it has to project the feeling and passion of the artist He continued saying "It (good art) must include two things: unity and the communi- cation of a central feeling At the opening of the Under- graduate Art Exhibit there will be awards given out in various cat- egories to the respective genres. Each year a guest of the art school visits ECU to pick out the best artwork. The woman in charge of picking the winners this year is Mara Scrupe. Scrupe is a sculptor from Washington, D.C. Recently she has resided in Denmark, Norway and Ireland in which to further her talent. Awards are Some of the undergraduate art pieces to be exhibited at Gray Gallery.

The public is invited to the awards ceremony, which will be held at 5 p.m. Wednesday. Amanda Appel is an artist whose work will be presented in the upcoming show. She is a senior majoring in painting drawing. A painting and a draw- ing of hers was selected for the show, which are titled, "Daddy Sleeping" and "Sitting Nude When asked why she enjoyed art she responded, "It is a way for one to express itself in a different way than writing and arithmetic, it's a way of getting your voice out without speaking She also said, "People should come see the art show because it is a good way to see what is actually going on in the art building Another paintingdrawing major, Elizabeth Shupe will also be displaying two pieces in the upcoming show. Shupe is a senior in the art school whose displayed work will include "Ghost of Ritual" and "Cynthia Happy Her work "Cynthia Happy" was completed under the technique of free association. This entails different objects drawn together to create a unifying theme. When asked why students should come to the art show she responded enthusiastically, "This show is a see ART page A6 book chronicles Southern rock, illustrating the evolution from the 1970s to today, and demon- strating the core of its appeal to southerners. A Charlotte Observer review of the book discusses the impact that the Allman Broth- ers and Lynyrd Skynyrd had on young southerners: "Both musi- cians expressed the pain and insecurity of the New South as young whites tested and rejected the prejudices of their parents and grandparents. Young white southerners did not have the role models of leaders such as King, so, as Kemp points out, they turned to music for answers. The Allman Brothers and Van Zant's band Lynyrd Skynyrd gave voice to a generation and helped it find a new identity that kept its Southern character intact Mark Kemp states in an inter- view with WUNC 91.S FM that, "The Allman Brothers created a soundtrack that relieved the weightiness for young south- erners of their guilt, fear and economic insecurities the family legacies of racism the drudgeries of a rural working class exis- tence Kemp explains how bands such as The Allman Brothers genuinely expressed the sadness and gravity during a time of such racial hostility and tension in the South. He cites the nation had an overall notion that the south was a "cesspool of racism Lynard Skynard emerges to show pride in living in the South, and in songs such as "Sweet Home Alabama" they expressed a rebuttal to resentment of the apparent lack of southern comfort. Dixie Lullaby has enjoyed praise throughout the country, appearing on various bestsellers lists. Mississippi fiction writer Larry Brown warmly wrote about Kemp's book, "As a child of the South and the 1960s, I know in my heart that Mark Kemp has told the truth about what grow- ing up here and loving music was like. But you don't have to be a southerner' to get it. Anybody whose listened to rock & roll or voted for the last 40 years or so ought to be delighted by this fascinating, well-written and entertaining new book Kemp has been featured on numerous television and radio broadcasts including WUNC 91.5 FM and John Seigenthaler's well-known show "A Word on Words The radio introduction of Kemp on air explains, Dixie Lullaby' grew out of my experi- ences both in the music industry and as a southerner, born and raised in Asheboro, NC Such a story is highly relatable to the students at ECU, many being from the South, undoubtedly hearing "Sweet Home Alabama" blaring from the stereo innu- merable times throughout their childhood. Kemp also provides a familiar background, a success- ful southern boy hailing from college in G-Vegas. A story of music, race and the south would provide needed entertainment for any Greenville resident, espe- cially coming from one of our own.

Brody School of Medicine: Health care for strong future Education and caring at the heart of the legacy JESSICA CRESON SENIOR WRITER The Brody School of Medi- cine was not always a part of ECU. It was only about 30 years ago students enrolled in the four-year program and only six years ago was it named Brody School of Medicine at ECU. In the 1960s a few men in the eastern North Carolina area were concerned that there would not be enough medical professionals to replace the generation of that time. ECU was not quite ECU yet when this idea arose - it was still East Carolina College. Although, it was a short amount of time that ECC became ECU and this is when the medical school proposal was taken seriously. It started out as a medical division that was only a one- year program where students had to seek another source of education afterward. The General Assembly of North Carolina made the funds available for a four-year medical school. From the beginning there were three things that were con- sidered to be at the top of the list of priorities: first, to increase the number of the finest physicians for the state. Then to improve the health status of eastern North Carolirta's citizens and to better the chances for students who are at a disadvantage and or are a minority to receive an education in medicine. Caring is an essential at BSOM. These principles are still enforced with the various pro- grams offered for either medical students, residents and fellows or doctoral students who are in basic medical sciences. Prac- ticing physicians are also still offered these programs for fur- ther education as times might change and progress. The faculty and student interaction is close, which is why only 72 students are accepted per year to keep attention on each student unavoidable. "I do not know of anyone in the medical school, but I do know a few people who have had to apply to other medical schools because ours filled up too quickly said Brooke Hill, a senior marketing major. Hands-on learning is also unavoidable with the small number of students. This allows for smaller classes and a diverse curriculum. BSOM must have a dedicated staff to stay in tune with stu- see BRODY page A6 ECU men, women play club lacrosse with great success Hard working students take the field AMANDA WINAR STAFF WRITER She sprints down the field toward her opponent, squinting into the sun with dirt-tinted sweat running down the inside of her jersey. Dodge left, spin and fake right. Arms go up - swoosh. A catch, a pass, a score. Sound fun? Well according to junior Angie Jusino, president, captain and coach of the ECU Women's Lacrosse team, it is just another exciting day in the life of a lacrosse player. Lacrosse is a field game played by teams of 10 players who use long-handled sticks with a net to catch and pass and eventually score with a ball. ECU has had a women's club team for about eight years, but Jusino said, "It wasn't until recently that the team has really become established. We used to have like five girls come out for practice we usually have like 25 at practices now Jusino said it is hard not having a coach, but overall they are having a great season. Every fall the ECU Lacrosse teams hold a big tournament here at ECU. "This spring, April 16 and 17 we are going for the first time, be holding our league tournament, CWLL, here. There are going to be nine girls' teams from all over North Carolina Jusino said. For anyone interested in join- ing in their fun, the Women's Lacrosse team can be contacted at ecuulacrossets'hotmail.com. For more information you can also check them out at eculacrosse. tripod.com. Besides the relatively newly formed Women's Lacrosse team, ECU also has a men's team. Senior Jamie Montgomery, president of the men's club said ECU varsity lacrosse has been around ECU since the 1960s, but at that time the team was varsity. For at least 10 years they had been in the National College Lacrosse League, which is made up.of club teams who set up everything independently, games and rules wise. Last spring however, ECU decided to join the United States Lacrosse Intercollegiate Associa- tion instead. When asked why the sudden change to a different league, Montgomery said, "We got tired of teams not showing for games and being disorganized, so we joined this new league, which is made up of teams from all over the country. None of which have varsity programs ECU men's lacrosse is the perfect representation of the word "team The men's lacrosse club team's long-term goal is to become a varsity team at ECU, and Mont- gomery noted they are well on their way. "We were in the "B" league last year in the SELC, and won our conference, going 10-2 on the season and were ranked third in the country among division B teams. Following last spring, we were voted to be moved to the "A" league, where we play teams like Florida, Florida State, Wake see LACROSSE page A6 PAGE A6 THE EAST CAROLINIAN � FEATURES 3-8-05 Art from page A5 collection of young ami talented artists, and to see everyone's work in one room allows the meaning from each piece to play off the other works allowing each piece to be amazing Casey Concelmo is also a senior paintingdrawing major.

This move- ment in art is meant to bring "purity and integrity back into art and into the world" as stated by Concelmo. The movement focuses on the good in our envi- ronment and in human beings. Concelmo said people should come to the art show ready to be inspired. Each student said their works took at least three weeks to com- plete, but many students required much more preparation for their art. All of the students in the show were very anxious to allow the public to view and scrutinize their work. Each was ready for their final product to be set on the gallery walls and enjoyed by students and faculty alike. ECU features the largest studio program in North Caro- lina. The studio program is completely accredited by the National Association of School of Art and Design. Areas repre- sented in the upcoming exhibit will include: art foundations, ceramics, graphic design, digital arts, illustration, photography, weaving, textile design, draw- ing, metal design, painting, printmaking, sculpture, video and wood design.

The faculty as well as one of the themes associated with BSOM is caring. It is stressed in the class- rooms and in the hospital itself. The value of a small town and the importance of its needs, as well as the surrounding areas, are of high concern also. Since most of the students enrolled af from North Carolina, this understand- ing would come naturally. Teachings include real-life experience and objective methods with training in clinical medicine and labs with simulated patients integrated in curriculum. "While I am aware of the importance and significance of the ECU medical school, I am unaware of the details of the programs or what makes it significant said Courtney Stef- fenhagen, a sophomore child development major. There are nine residency programs that are specialized in training of graduate physicians. Family medicine is the largest of these programs with 12 positions in each three years of training. The other programs include emergency medicine, internal medicine, obstetrics and gynecol- ogy, pediatrics, pathology and laboratory medicine, psychiatric medicine, surgery and physical medicine and rehabilitation. Once again, the focus on relationships is emphasized with college students, faculty and residents throughout various environments in the learning experience at the BSOM. Research at the medical school is another important aspect of the BSOM. There is cur- rently research being conducted on various medical conditions such as, diabetes, cancer therapy, allergic disease, cardiovascular disease, alcohol and drug abuse, obesity, transplant immunology and biotechnology. Researchers use innovative ways as well as traditional tech- niques to do their research. The BSOM is now in an impor- tant partnership with University Health Systems of Eastern Caro- lina and various physicians. According to BSOM Web site, "the school is the educational centerpiece of one of North Caro- lina's largest and most productive academic medical centers For more information, stu- dents can visit the Brody School of Medicine's Web site at ecu. edumed.

Drew Costanzo and the Pirates get pumped up before the opening game in the new Clark-LeClair Stadium Friday morning, March 4, against the Michigan Wolverines didn't score on them in the first inning, which doomed them the night before, when starter Mike Flye and reliever Ricky Brooks combined to give up five runs in the first. Diamond Bucs defeat UM in pitchers' duel, dominate Bulldogs BRENT WYNNE SENIOR WRITER In a field that contained Ohio State, Michigan, Arizona State, ECU, No. 4 North Carolina and No. 7 Georgia, the general consensus amongst the writers of college baseball was that the Heels and the Bulldogs would use this weekend to prove why they were garnering so much hype in the polls. The exact opposite occurred however, as the two powerhouses combined to go 1-5 in six games with UNC dropping all three contests they competed in. ECU Head Coach Randy Mazey feels that the rough week- end from the two top 10 teams is testament to the quality of the tournament. "This is as good of tourna- ment as you'll see anywhere said Mazey. "1 don't know of another amateur tournament in the nation the last 10 years, includ- ing any regional you could go to, that was as good as this one "This rivals an Omaha cali- ber field. So 1 hope it was excit ing for the fans, it was exciting for us to open the new stadium, it was a great event and something we want to continue to do as long as I'm here Arizona State, who entered the classic with the worst overall record at 8-10, went undefeated in three games, with wins over UNC, ECU and Ohio State by scores of 4-3, 10-3 and 3-0 respectively. The Pirates survived the strong field with a 2-1 tourna- ment record. The Diamond Bucs opened up with a 2-1 over Michi- gan, followed by a tough 3-10 loss to the Sun Devils, then bounced back in a big way with a huge victory over the seventh ranked Dawgs, 7-1. In that contest, southpaw Jeff Ostrander pitched 7.1 brilliant innings of scoreless ball, sur- rendering only two hits and two walks while striking out seven. "Hats off to what he did tonight Mazey said. "He hasn't gone that deep this year and he really kept them off balance with basically two pitches, his fastball and change up, and really had command of them. "That was as good of a win as we've had in this program in a while. They're a good club, and they're going to win a lot of games this year Responding from the 10-3 loss Saturday to Arizona State, the Pirates made sure the opposition "If they would've scored two runs in the first as opposed to us, in the back of your mind you're "That was as good of a win as we've had in this program in a while. They're a good club, and they're going to win a lot of games this year RANDY MAZEY ECU HEAD COACH thinking 'Oh boy I hope the same thing doesn't happen again Mazey said. "When we came out and jumped on them early, I think that set the tone for the whole game. It gave Ostrander an opportunity to go out there and hammer the strike zone. And we played another great game defensively. "So if we continue to pitch well and play defense as good as we have, we're going to win a lot of games The Pirates opened the scor- ing in the contest with two in the first. Billy Richardson led off the frame with an infield single to shortstop. After Drew Costanzo flied out to center and Mark Minicozzi struck out looking, DH Mike Grace reached on an error by Bulldog third baseman Adam McDaniel. Jake Smith walked to load the bases with two outs, which set up a two RBI single from Adam Witter, giving ECU the early 2-0 lead. The Diamond Bucs went for the jugular in the fourth and connected with five runs. With runners on second and third with one out, Harrison Eldridge drove in Witter from third with a groundout to the pitcher. Richardson then tripled to center, scoring Dale Mollen- hauer who singled earlier in the inning. Costanzo and Minicozzi then put the finishing touches on Georgia starter Brooks Brown, hitting back-to-back home runs to push the lead to 7-0. The Bulldogs' only run came via the long ball that came in the eighth when pinch hitter Joey Side took reliever Kevin Rhodes deep to left. It was the first batter after Ostrander was pulled. "1 believe our guys believe in themselves now and I believe in them Mazey said. "I believe we can go on the field with anybody in the nation and contend with them. Look out for this team - if we get some pitching down the stretch and get some guys back, this team is capable of doing some things. We're going to be exciting to watch down the road here, and if we can get our starting pitchers to get into the sixth and seventh inning, and stay out of our bull- pen too deep, then I think we really have a chance to have a good season Richardson and Minicozzi led ECU at the plate with two hits a piece. With the win on the mound, Ostrander improves to 1-1 on the season. In game one of the tourna- ment and the first ever in Clark- LeClair stadium, the Pirates took on Michigan. As was the case against Georgia, pitching was the key in this game, as P.J. Connelly was stellar for the Bucs, going seven innings, scattering four hits and one earned run en route to a 2-1 victory. Wolverine starter Michael Penn matched blows with Connelly, as he allowed only two hits, while striking out six in 7.2 innings of work.

"That's as good a pitcher that you will see anywhere in college baseball. The fact that we only had three hits s?ys nothing about our hitters, but says everything about the guy on the mound Freshman T.J. Hose came on in relief of Connelly in the eighth inning and was credited with the win after the Pirates scored the game winner in the bottom of the inning. The fresh- man was outstanding, striking out the side in the inning, then working a perfect ninth to secure the victory. "As a kid growing up, this was what I was expecting and hoping for, and it's coming true said Hose. "It was an awesome feeling. I've never played in front of a crowd like this The length of the game reflected that of a pitchers' duel, as the contest lasted only two hours and 26 minutes. "If you're a baseball enthusiast and like old time baseball, that's what you saw todayMazey said. "It was very well pitched on both sides, well played defen- sively and really only a couple of opportunities to score runs in this entire game. "We got them together in the seventh inning and told them that good teams win games In the seventh, eighth and ninth, and that's what we found a way to do ECU broke a scoreless tie in the bottom of the third when outfielder Jay Mattox scored on Richardson's sacrifice fly. Richardson then scored the game winner in the eighth, coming home after Minicozzi singled through the left side. Richardson went S-for-11 in three games with four RBI and has emerged as the leader of the Pirates in his senior year. "I really trusted my hands, and stayed back said Richardson. "I just tried to see the ball well. "As one of the seniors, 1 took it upon myself to step up and coach talked to me about it. I feel like I can lead these guys this year, and take us to Omaha The LeClair classic was a dis- play of great baseball talent, and gave fans some great games and big upsets. While baseball was the main focus of the weekend, Mazey and the boys never lost and never will lose sight of the man they are playing for - Keith LeClair. In a ceremony before the Michigan, ECU game Friday, LeClair was honored with a com- memorative plaque while his two kids ran out to the mound to deliver the first pitch. "You felt the heart inside your chest, and that moment kind of got to you a little bit Mazey said. "A lot of our guys really don't know Keith, but just seeing what transpired today, it's a special moment for everybody involved, and I'm just glad that we could win the game for him The average attendance for the weekend was 4,110 for each session, with the high being just over 5,000 for the Arizona State, ECU game Saturday night. The Pirates return to action on Tuesday when they do battle with in-state opponent NC A&T at home.
