News Briefs Local Ayden shooting kills 10-year-old AYDEN, NC - A 10-year-old boy who was a bystander in a long-running dispute was shot and killed In the front yard of a house, police said. Ayden police Chief Bennle Benson said the child, Christopher Foggs, was killed Tuesday. Police have a suspect in the shooting, Benson said. The shooting was not gang-related and a stray bullet hit Foggs, Benson said. Reports indicate a Chevrolet Caprice pulled up in front of a house at the corner of Sixth and High streets about 7:40 p.m Benson said. A man In the car fired several shots before fleeing and Foggs was shot, authorities said. The boy died later Tuesday at Pitt County Memorial Hospital. A teenage girl also was grazed on the arm. Although the suspect is male, the shooting apparently Involves two groups of young women, Benson said. The dispute seems to involve a long-standing rivalry, possibly over the perceived attractiveness of one of the groups, Benson added. Victoria Gardner, a 19-year-old Ayden resident who witnessed the shooting, said the group of women at whom the shots were fired are seen as more attractive than the group of women with whom the shooter was traveling. "It's been going on for years Gardner said. "We never knew It would end up with someone going and getting guns Gardner said she knows the groups of young women but does not associate closely with them. One group of women was on the porch of a house, and Foggs was at the house next door, Gardner said. The first person to get out of the Caprice was a female who started shouting that she wanted to fight, Gardner said. A male then got out and opened fire. Foggs was "just an innocent bystander, that's it Gardner said. Textile-maker Gullford Mills to lay off 230 at two plants GREENSBORO, NC - Guilford Mills will close a polyester yarn plant In Greensboro and cut its workforce at a similar Fuquay-Varina plant by nearly half, costing about 230 workers of the former Fortune 500 textile maker their jobs. The two sites produce fibers used by the automobile industry and "both are underutilized chief financial officer David Taylor said Tuesday. The last workday for the 100 employees at the Hornaday Road plant in Greensboro and 130 workers at the plant In southern Wake County will be June 18, the company said. The decision leaves just one textile plant in Guilford Mills' headquarters of Greensboro, home to about 380 administrative and factory workers. The company has 2,600 employees worldwide, with 1,700 in North Carolina. The company filed for bankruptcy protection in 2002. It was sold in February 2004 to Cerberus Capital Management, a New York private equity firm. Friday, Gullford Mills announced the lesignation of president and chief executive officer John Emrich. He said last week he was leaving Gullford Mills "by mutual agreement Emrich had shifted the company away from apparel manufacturing to focus primarily on automotive textiles, said Sam McNeil, a consultant who works with financially troubled companies. Rising oil prices make that a risky proposition, he said. National AP sues government, saying documents of 'urgent concern' NEW YORK - Government documents related to military hearings for Guantanamo Bay detainees are of "urgent concern" to the public and should be released, according to a lawsuit filed by The Associated Press against the Defense Department. The lawsuit, filed Tuesday in federal court, stated AP has been able to report only anecdotally on 558 tribunals conducted since August to let detainees challenge their incarceration at the Cuban base. The news agency said the proceedings were "unquestionably of great interest to the public It asked the court to order the government to turn over transcripts of all Guantanamo detainees' testimony, along with written statements by the detainees and any documents they have submitted. A telephone message left with a spokesman for government lawyers in Manhattan was not immediately returned Tuesday. The telephone of a Defense Department employee handling AP's administrative appeal went unanswered. The news agency submitted a Freedom of Information Act request in the fall, but it said the Defense Department has refused to provide the documents and has not processed the company's appeal of the government's failure to act. AP maintained the Information was a "matter of urgent concern" as it reports on constitutional and foreign policy issues presented by the government's handling of hundreds of detainees since January 2002. The lawsuit noted the government began holding combatant status review tribunals to let detainees rebut their classifications as "enemy combatants" after the Supreme Court ruled last June that detainees may challenge their Imprisonment. The tribunals have resulted in 38 detainees among more than 500 terrorism suspects at Guantanamo being declared "non-enemy combatants NEA, school districts launching first national suit over education law WASHINGTON - The nation's largest teachers union and school districts in three states are launching a legal fight over No Child Left Behind, aiming to free schools from complying with any part of the education law not paid for by the federal government The lawsuit, expected to be filed Wednesday in the U.S. District Court for eastern Michigan, is the most sweeping challenge to President Bush's signature education policy. The outcome would apply only to the districts involved but could have implications for all schools nationwide. Leading the fight is the National Education Association, a union of 2.7 million members that represents many public educators and Is financing the lawsuit. The other plaintiffs are nine school districts in Michigan, Texas and Vermont, plus 10 NEA chapters in those three states and Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, New Hampshire, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Utah. Education Secretary Margaret Spellings, as the chief officer of the agency that enforces the law, Is the only defendant. The suit centers on a question that has overshadowed the law since Bush signed It in 2002: whether the president and Congress have provided enough money. The challenge is built upon one paragraph In the law that says no state or school district can be forced to spend its money on expenses the federal government has not covered. International Israeli troops begin moving equipment from Gaza base NEVE DEKALIM, Gaza Strip - The Israeli military began removing shipping containers from a base In the Gaza Strip Wednesday, the army's first concrete step toward a planned pullout this summer. A crane lifted the containers onto flatbed trucks, which drove out of the base of the Southern Brigade in the Jewish settlement of Neve Dekalim, the largest in Gaza. In all, 30 containers containing furniture, computers, weapons and uniforms were to be removed Wednesday, the army said, though the base won't be completely dismantled until the end of the withdrawal. The equipment was removed as Israel's government considered delaying the start of the pullout by three weeks to Aug. 15. A decision is to be made by the end of the week. Both Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz have sent mixed signals on whether they favor a delay. Wednesday, Sharon was quoted as saying that he expects Palestinians to loot Jewish settlements Immediately after Israeli forces leave the Gaza Strip. U.S. officials have urged Israel and the Palestinians to coordinate the withdrawal, in part to ensure an orderly transfer of the 21 Jewish settlements In Gaza. "Immediately after the Israeli army leaves there, everything will be looted Sharon told senior Cabinet ministers on Tuesday, according to the Yediot Ahronot daily. A participant who spoke on condition of anonymity confirmed the comments. Ecuador's president says he won't quit despite growing demonstrations QUITO, Ecuador - Hours after Ecuador's embattled president said he would not resign, at least 30,000 people tried to march to the presidential palace In the capital's largest demonstration yet against the country's leadership, demanding that President Lucio Gutierrez resign. Gutierrez, 48, a cashiered army colonel elected in 2002 with an in- your-face governing style, has faced growing street protests demanding his ouster since last week. The demonstrators accuse him of trying to illegally control the three branches of government. The president, in an interview with The Associated Press Tuesday, said he would not step aside. "There is not the least possibility. I was elected for four years. My government ends in January 2007 Gutierrez said in an interview at the Government Palace. As he spoke, army troops carrying assault rifles manned positions from behind barbed wire to keep protesters from approaching the palace, located in Quito's Spanish-era colonial downtown. Hours later at least 30,000 people tried to march to the palace to demand that he resign. But hundreds of police firing tear gas drove them back. "We want to show this president how much people dislike him. He has broken the Constitution so often that people can't take It any more said Ricardo Viedma, 33, owner of a travel agency, as protesters tried to escape the gas that drifted over the streets. Gutierrez was jailed for four months for leading a rebellion in 2000 that toppled former President Jamil Mahuad In the midst of Ecuador's worst economic crisis in decades. He was expelled from the army after being released. Ballard reflects on first year at ECU Chancellor outlines future plans for university NICK HENNE NEWS EDITOR Chancellor Steve Ballard, nearing completion of his first year at ECU, reflected on the year's successes and is in the process of planning ECU's main objectives for next year. "It's been a challenging, but a positive and rewarding first year said Ballard. "I feel comfortable here, it's the right kind of institution for me It fits me and who 1 am and there's a spirit here that I especially like Ballard said one of the main concentrations of his first year has been filling the vacant posi- tions with qualified people, which will bring positive benefits for years to come. Upon Ballard's arrival, there were 15 vacancies that needed to be filled which he put as his top priority before addressing other opportunities or problems. Four major positions of his leadership team have been completed and a search is currently taking place for the vice chancellor of univer- sity advancement. Ballard said he is especially thankful to the search commit- tees, composed of primarily ECU faculty in addition to community members, who have played a large part in filling these vacan- cies with highly qualified people. "We did it the searches in a cooperative, open fashion where the campus had a great chance to participate Ballard said. "That's a great model of shared governance and that's what we're trying to reestablish here Ballard said in every one of the searches thus far, ECU has gotten its number one choice. He plans on working with the members of his leadership team this summer on team behavior and organiza- tional performance to enhance their ability to perform and take on future challenges, which will be a priority for next year. "Now that we have finished the leadership side, we're going to work on the teamwork side That's the next step in this process Ballard said. With this year having a strong internal focus in putting people in place and making organizational changes, Ballard is planning to have a more exter- nal concentration next year to further improve the region. "I'm going to get to know more of eastern North Carolina Ballard said. "I'm going to visit more com- munities, groups and organiza- tions in theeastern partof thestate A main aspect Ballard is going to try to improve is exter- nal fundraising, which encom- passes a variety of different revenue pools ECU can use to reduce the financial burden of the state and students. Institutional partnerships with other institutions in eastern North Carolina is another initiative Bal- lard is going to address next year. This effort would help improve teacher preparation and retention. The demographics of eastern North Carolina inhabit a large amount of poverty and call for the need of increased economic improvement putting a responsi- bility on ECU. "We have a special respon- sibility for eastern North Carolina Ballard said. ECU is taking on this respon- sibility through various business development efforts including ECU's entrepreneurial initiative, Small Business and the Regional Development Centers, which are three initiatives under the com- munity engagement function. In addition, ECU's Economic Development Task Force, led by Rick Niswander, dean of the college of business, is making progress toward this effort. These i nitiat ives will be helpful to the regional economical devel- opment and will assist small busi- nesses in eastern North Carolina. Another effort Ballard cited ECU is doing and needs to con- tinue to excel in is health educa- tion, which is crucial to both the well being of the people and the economy of the region. "We cannot be strong eco- nomically if we are not healthy people Ballard said. Reports have indicated if east- ern North Carolina were a state, it would be ranked SOth in the nation with the abundance of diseases putting a high financial strain on the region in treating those people. Many of these people are uninsured and seek treatment at the Brody School of Medicine. Ballard has overall responded well to both the UNC System and ECU. "This system is by far the best university system that I've worked at ever Ballard said. Ballard, who has been through the public university systems of Ohio, Maine, Missouri and Oklahoma, said he finds the UNC system the best as far as how it treats higher education and how it works together. He attributed part of this success to UNC System President Molly Broad. He said the UNC System is recognized throughout the country as a reputable university see BALLARD page A5 Ernst aid Billiards, Dance, & Sports Bar Located in the Rivergate Shopping Center behind Walgreens Available for private parties r Thursday Ladies Night $1.00 Bud Light DJ PT 10:00p.m. Ladies shoot pool for FREE!

INC New SGA officers take positions M. Cole Jones, president elect of Vote reveals split ticket winners MICHAEL HARRINGTON SENIOR WRITER The results of the student gov- ernment elections were announced Wednesday evening revealing a split ticket of elected officers. The results are still unofficial and subject to change, but indi- cated that a split ticket of officers was elected. Cole Jones was elected president, Heather Dick- son to vice president, Morgan Lamberson to secretary and Andy Beamer to treasurer. "Nothing is final until a president is sworn in with the rest of the executive council said Shannon O'Donnell, cur- rent SGA president. Several complaints are pend- ing and the results will not be final until they are resolved. Jones said that while presid- ing over student government, he hopes to create an attitude within the organization that places the interests of students. "If you hold a position in student government, you will the SGA celebrates after the announcement of the results. don the work of student govern- ment said Jones. "And that is first being an advocate for students' rights During the next year, Jones said anyone elected for a class office has to perform service to the university and the community to show that student government is not just an organi- zation that looks good on paper. Jones said he intends to focus on four key issues during the next year that will improve ECU. The first issue is stressing the importance of health awareness, like eating right and exercising, among the students of ECU. "I think we need to become a more health conscious univer- sity Jones said. The second issue that Jones wants to focus on is community to university relations. This is an issue that was addressed by ECU with the hiring of Michelle Lieberman as student neigh- borhood relations facilitator before the start of fall semester. Jones said as a native of Greenville he understands the importance of maintaining strong ties with the surround- ing community and would like to work to continue ECU's ongoing effort. The third issue that Jones plans to focus on is total equality among students and protecting the student welfare. "1 plan on listening to all students' concerns and treating every issue as if it is the most important issue Jones said. The fourth issue is support- ing a secure environment for lady pirates. "We are going to continue to provide the ladies of ECU with a safe environment Jones said. Jones said this year the exec- utive board put together a note- book that will provide guidance on the transition. This will allow the president elect to make a smooth transition to office. Charmaine Ford, vice presi- dential candidate, said the elec- tion of Jones was a major step for ECU. "The first African American president in the history of ECU that is what it's all about said Ford. This writer can be contacted at nens@theastcarolinian. com. Failed, failed, failed.

While tuition increases and budget cuts are on the table as possible options, state repre- sentatives are looking at other alternatives in hopes to keep tiie educational financial strains at a minimum. State Representative Joe Tolson, who represents the 23rd district of North Carolina pre- sented his views of the budget situation and possible financial strains that could affect higher education. Tolson said while state repre- sentatives do not want to make cuts within education, they might not have a choice with the current budget situation. Tolson said this year's $1.2 - 1.5 billion budget deficit is similar to the budget deficit last year and it appears next year will be the same. "We have to have some addi- tional revenue in order to offset some of these cuts we've had io make in order to balance the budget said Tolson. Options other than cuts from higher education include incorporating a state lottery and additional taxes on alcohol and tobacco. The lottery, which was passed by the House of Representatives, now awaits approval from the state senate. Tolson, who voted for the lottery, said one reason why the house passed the lottery is to fund education, which would reduce the likelihood of there being budgets cut from the state in future years. The lottery would not only fund higher education within the state, but K-12 students and at-risk children would also see benefits from the lottery. The senate has formed a com- mittee to evaluate the lottery controversy. While it has passed several times in past years in the senate, it was not passed in the house. The fact that North Carolina does not have a state lottery has not been a deterrent from a large number of North Carolinians playing it. North Carolina is sur- rounded by states with lotteries and North Carolinians com- monly go to Virginia, Tennessee, South Carolina or Georgia to buy lottery tickets. Tolson said lottery ticket distributors in these surround- ing states see long lines of North Carolina cars waiting to buy lot- tery tickets. "We'd love to keep those dol- lars in North Carolina Tolson said. "I just think people should be allowed to spend their money the way they want to He said he couldn't distinguish a lottery ticket from a raffle ticket a church might have. Tolson said he thinks North Carolina can stand a small increase in the cigarette tax. He said while he lives in and represents the large tobacco area, he thinks with the changes in tobacco North Carolina can stand some increases in the product to help the growing state. An increased tax on alcohol is another possibility the state is considering. While the house of repre- sentatives doesn't like increas- ing taxes, with the increasing demands of the state they have to have the revenue. There are many North Caro- lina residents who have fixed incomes and they would not want to see any kind of tax increase, but the taxes being considered are voluntary. "The kind of taxes we're talk- ing about - drinking, smoking - it's all your choice just like the lottery Tolson said. He said he wouldn't mind making a cut if it would make the state more efficient in what it's doing, but laying off professors or making other educational sacri- fices would become detrimental to the state. Creating such effects on higher education would take away from the state's competi- tive edge. Tolson said he and other state representatives understand the importance of higher education to the state's future, considering the projected future jobs within the state demanding higher education. "We try to keep a good strong educational system. We try to get by without cutting education. We have made a commitment to keep cuts on education at a bare minimum Tolson said. A priority of the House of Representatives is to fund enroll- ment growth with the schools in the UNC system. ECU is one of the fastest growing schools in the UNC system and will require rev- enue for enrollment growth. The state representatives hope to have the budget decided on by June 30, allowing various state agencies that may be affected by the state budget to effectively plan for the year. M. Cole Jones, president elect of the Student Government Association showed opposition to the possible cuts and plans on making the student voices heard on the issue if his election as president is finalized. "As we all know, education is a valuable tool to everyone's success said Jones. "We have to continue to lay the foundation for our future Morgan Lamberson, secretary elect of SGA agreed with Jones. If elected, she plans on bring- ing the ideas of her ticket into action within the SGA to address the issue. She said she will work toward students getting a vote on the North Carolina Board of Gov- ernors and communicate with local senators to ensure student voices are heard.

"One of the first things I learned over the first year is that ECU is even a better fit than I thought Ballard said. H,ill.ird said the people at ECU are excellent, citing the ECU faculty senate and staff. "Every bit of the community has been helpful to me in my first year here Ballard said. He said one thing he wants to concentrate more on next year is spending more time with students including the Student Government Association and other student organizations. He said he has however seen quality among ECU students. "I think the students here are really good Ballard said. He said ECU students and the institution sometimes do not get as much credit as they deserve. He said he has seen excellent students in the honor's program, dormito- ries and in classes he has visited. "The students are taking their work seriously and they're getting good educations Ballard said. Ballard said the best single thing ECU can do is make sure our students are prepared for the constantly changing global economy. The skills ECU needs to teach the students are also chang- ing with the global economy. "Preparing our students for tomorrow is the single most important thing we can do because if we do that well, our students are likely to stay in North Carolina Ballard said.

Dowdy Student Stores pays cash for old books CHRIS MUNIER STAFF WRITER Dowdy Student Stores offers students a partial refund for some of the books they want to give back at the end of the semester. "We buy back at half the new book price. Even if they bought it 'used they get it back at half the new book price said Katherine A. Burney, textbook manager at Dowdy Student Stores. The store is willing to buy back students' books at any time during the semester but most of their business comes during exam periods. There are, however, times when they cannot give half-price back. Sometimes the store gets in excess of a particular book or a book is not going to be used in the future. In this case, Dowdy has to sell them to wholesale book com- panies. Thereafter, they cannot economically give half-price back to students for those books. "Any time students are sell- ing books and not getting half- price back, it is being bought by a wholesale company Burney said. Barbara Ward, assistant text- book manager at Dowdy Student Stores, warns there is a need to make sure all the components of the book are intact when a stu- dent tries to resell the book. Stu- dents may not get as much money back if they fail to return a CD that was packaged with the book. "There are situations where we can't take them back unless they haveall the parts said Ward. Dowdy also sets up several locations across campus where students can sell their books. Ward said those locations usually include bus stops, College Hill and Speight building. This year, theyareexperi- menting with the Minges bus stop in order to see if that attracts students. They have tried dining halls in the past but they were not as successful as other areas. Burney said sometimes there is a problem with professors who wait to decide which books they want to use in future semesters. This leads the store to buying back more books than they need if fac- ulty decides they do not want to use a particular book any longer. It is not always professors' fault though. In some cases, new editions are being printed halting them from telling Dowdy which books they are going to use. Jenna Robinson, junior art major, said she did not like the system because they do not take all your books back. This writer can be contacted at news@theeastcarolinian. com.

UNGERFELT Editor In Chief THURSDAY April 21, 2005 Our View Another memorable year comes to an end It's amazing that yet another year is coming to an end and some students will soon be packing their bags to head home for the summer while others will be forced to crack open the books and partake in summer courses at ECU. Regardless, some things always remain the same. An entire segment of the current student population will no longer be considered stu- dents at ECU, t? rt forever known as alumni. TEC would like to take the opportunity to congratulate those graduating seniors who have contributed to this university in one way or another. We wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors and may the education you received here guide you through your career path as well as life. To think ECU has changed so much this past year. There were many changes in the administration including huge shake-ups in athletics. Construction littered the campus, bringing renovations, a new dining hall and a better ECU to Greenville. As German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche once said, That which does not kill us, only makes us stronger Although the future of the ECU community is unsure, we do believe that past blunders will only help to make our univer- sity a stronger, more reputable environment. Over the past year, TEC has also experienced many changes. We have worked hard to bring you the most relevant and timely news possible. Just as the university continues to change and grow, so does our paper. However, the quality of a student newspaper is only as good as the students deem it to be. Whenever you read something that makes you upset or helps you relate, we encourage you to voice your opinion to us, whether it's through a letter to the editor or through an employment application at TEC. Yes, it has been an amazing year. So much has changed and yet we have come back to a common place - commencement. Congratula- tions, graduates. Our Staff Amanda Q.

My name is Salem. lam fourteen years old and I live with my mother and three sisters in the Rafah refugee camp in southern Palestine, very close to the border with Egypt. My father was killed two years ago when he was stopped by an Israeli mili- tary checkpoint on his way home from work. He was a janitor at one of the fancy international hotels in Israel. He worked the night shift. On his way home, after the usual humiliating questions and searches, a young Israeli soldier, no older than 19 or 20, casually threw his personal copy of the Quran out of the car as they were searching it. When my father objected, they shot him. He died right there, all alone. The Israeli's classified him as a "known terrorist" and refused to release his body to us for over a month, even though our holy Quran insists that bodies must be buried within seven days of death. My grandmother was so disgusted with the Zionists' violation of our religious laws that she could not even attend her own son's funeral. After that, my mother got very strict about when and where my friends and I could go, and with whom. She felt that if I stayed only with the few friends of mine who she knew to be innocent of any sort of wrongdoing, I would be alright. I was happy to do it though, since my friends Muhammad andAmjed, both of whom my mother love, are basically the only people I spend time with anyway. Since the cease- fire with Israel was signed three months ago, things have been getting better. Some of the restrictions on our travel have been lifted (which is to say that we can now travel freely within the confines of our cramped refugee camp) and my mother found me a job selling chewing gum on the street. Last week, I told my mother that my friends and I (of course, the only friends she approves oft were going to play soccer outside the camp. Though we never threw rocks, as Palestinians, we were constantly under the threat of harassment from the soldiers. When we got outside the walls of the camp, I noticed there were more soldiers that day than most. I paid no attention. I had stopped trying to figure out the occupiers a long time ago, just like every- one else. I kicked the ball to Amjed, who was not paying attention, and it flew past him, straight toward the nearby checkpoint. I yelled to him to forget it, we can find another ball, but he just'smiled, like he always does, and quickly gave chase. I looked at Muhammad, and he smiled too. As I looked back to Amjed, I heard the shots. The all too familiar sound startled me, and they startled Muham- mad, but it was too late. Amjed lay on the ground, in a pool of blood, screaming and crying, shot three times through the chest, and once in the leg. I was too scared to do anything. All I could hear were Amjed's cries. I yelled for Muhammad, but before I knew it, they shot Muhammad, too. He was running toward our friend, and they shot him in the head. I looked around, hoping someone would do something. Older people were running toward us. I froze. I could not think. I called out for Amjed again, but there were no more cries. He was dead. When I called his name for a third time, I felt something slam into my chest. It knocked me down, on my back, but it did not hurt, not really. I touched it and saw the blood. I remember feeling surprised, more than anything. I knew I was going to die. I could hear the screams of the women, and the anger of the men. They said I would be alright, but I was not. All I could think of was my sisters. What will happen to them? They have killed my friends, and my father. They have taken everything from us. There is nothing left. No more soccer, no more friends, no more chewing gum. They killed us for being children, for doing the things that children do. What is criminal in that? While I have depicted the words of the little boy in the story above in my own way, the story is based on fact. I will let the injustice speak for itself. Just as an aside, I would like to bid everyone the fondest of farewells, as my graduation is imminent and I will, unfortunately, be taking my leave. My tenure as a writer for this publica- tion is coming to a close, and I am on to less flexible, better paying posi- tions in the private sector. I have most enjoyed our time together. May life grant you knowledge, prosperity, love and adventure. Question authority. Salutations! In My Opinion Bidding fond adieu to three years at ECU Time really does fly when you're having fun AMANDA UNGERFELT EDITOR IN CHIEF My first day at ECU was for orienta- tion in the summer of 2002. After attend- ing one year at a different university and deciding it wasn't the place for me, 1 found myself in the commuter lot at Minges waiting for the bus to take me to where I hoped 1 could find a good educa- tion and a college atmosphere I enjoyed. My previous year at college had me wondering if I was even the college type. If it hadn't been for the support of my friends and family, 1 might have even dropped out. 1 wanted to try my hardest at being a successful Pirate. Lucky for me, I didn't have to try too hard. Now, it's hard to imagine that scared and unsure sophomore turned into an outgoing senior who is full of the answers to all of life's questions (well, except for how to get a job, how to manage money, how to not move home upon graduation, etc.). I owe ECU for this dramatic change in personality. You may think this sounds corny - and hell, maybe my nostalgia is get- ting the best of me - but my experience at ECU has taught me so many lessons that I will carry through the rest of my life. For those of you that may not be as appreciative of our university as me, I thought I would share some of my lessons with you: - College is not all about academ- ics. It's also not all about partying and drinking. There is a time and a place for both. It's also about taking time out to find out who you are. Never in your life will you get the opportunity to expand your mind like a college experi- ence gives you. I encourage you to join campus organizations, attend campus events or even just introduce yourself to the person sitting next to you. Each day we're in college gives us the oppor- tunity to get to know ourselves better. Trust me, when you graduate it's help- ful to know whom you are, so you know what you're capable of becoming. - Be nice to everyone. I'm not saying kiss everyone's ass, but being respectful and considerate never killed anyone. Having managed staffs of students for the past two years, I can tell you that I never forgot the names of a student who failed to pull his or her weight and made my job considerably harder. At the same time, 1 never forgot the names of those who helped me out in tough situations. Just be nice - you never know when you might have to ask a favor from someone. Life is strange like that. - An Andy's cheese steak cures all hangovers. Bojangles' sweet tea comes in a close second. - Football games show what it means to be a Pirate. Now before you jump all over me, I'm in no way suggest- ing football is our best sport. There's just something about waking up early, getting decked out in purple and gold and coordinating with friends for the best tailgating spot - all in celebration of being a Pirate. In my years at ECU, we've had three coaching changes and three losing seasons, and yet, fans still come out by the thousands to show their support. - Every once in a while you need to let loose and act silly. For my friends and I, it was dancing to "Apache" by the Sugar Hill Gang or learning the chore- ography to "Thriller Go on, just try and dance like a 1980s zombie and see if you don't laugh hysterically, forgetting what it was you felt so bad about. Bad credit" really doesexist.It'snot a lie your parents tell you because they don't want you to go on a shopping spree. From the moment I stepped off that bus onto our beautiful campus, I knew I had found what I was looking for in a college experience -welcoming students, smaller classrooms with help- ful professors and a campus with a real sense of community. A lot of that sense of community has come from working at TEC. Being the leader of my campus paper has given me the opportunity to look back at my college years with fond memories of the people I met, the controversies created and the lessons learned. Part of me wants to cling desper- ately to the cupola and scream like a child, "I don't want to go Can't I be ECU'S female version of Van Wilder? At least until I'm like 50 or so, and then I can retire. Ah, but such is life and such is moving on. As of May 8, I will officially transi- tion from student to alumna, sipping wine and telling colleagues of my "good 'ol days at ECU But no matter what my future holds, I will always think of my years at ECU as some of the best of my life. 1 urge every one of you to take steps now that will lead to a similar experience. Pirate Rant Hey, it's nice that you want to try out West End Dining Hall. I live right in front of the thing and have to wait in line for 30 minutes because you and all your buddies from the Hill want to take up space. Go back to Todd. Isn't it great when your room- mate doesn't know how to pay the bills and your cable gets cut off, and then your phone and your Internet, and then your power? Yet, the cat never seems to be without 50 packets of food. Ah, the joys of college life. I know this issue has already been addressed once this semes- ter but can someone give us readers more of Kyle Billings? He is so freaking hot and we love him. Can I maybe get a date or something? Dear TEC: I would just like to say that your employee, James Porter, is not only the best lay-out designer, but he is also incredibly hot. But Kitch is hotter. I go tanning. I work out every day, twice. I spend at least 20 minutes on my hair before I go out. My T-shirts are tight, my jeans are ripped and yes, my collar is up. Don't be ealous that your girlfriend loves me. I wish just one time I could walk up the stairs of Brewster and not almost choke from the horrible cigarette stench the stu- dents create. Aren't Rainbows the most ugly shoes you've ever seen in your life? 1 especially love the nasty dark imprint your foot leaves in it. To all you Yankee Haters out there, let me ask you some- thing: Do you actually like the Red Sox or are you just cheer- ing for them because you hate the Yankees? Get off the BoSox Bandwagon and like a team for their team. Don't just cheer on the Sox because you're jealous and hate the Yanks. You know, with all the talk of ECU being .easy, being boring, being this and being that and being proliferated by mass ACC apparel, it's no wonder these rants make us sound so insecure as a school. If you don't want to be a Pirate, go somewhere else. It's just that simple. I have to admit I'm a little upset. Weeks ago, I thought Tony McKee was going to write his arti- cle on why puppies are good. But, what 1 was really looking forward to was Peter Kalajian's follow up article - "Why puppies are bad and how it's Bush's fault Why is it so hard for guys to settle down with one person? What kind of respect do you have for yourself being with different women every other day? Look up the prevalence of diseases on ECU's campus. Hey, ECU students: Quit downloading so much porn and music from illegal places and then bringing it to the free sup- port center and whining about how its taking too long to fix your computer. Also, pop ups aren't supposed to be clicked on. You won't get a free iPod. To the people handing out flyers in front of Wright Place: Save us both the time and effort. When you see me coming, just place one in the trashcan for me. Thanks. Kudos to Nickelodeon for bringing the old "All That" cast back for a reunion. I wonder if they will do the same for some of the other shows we grew up with like "Wild 8t Crazy Kids?" Once again, Tony McKee, you have managed to make a fool of yourself. Last time I checked, beached dolphins were not in a persistent vegetative state, and if kept alive they could resume a normal life back in the ocean with full function. 1 sure hope you are actually smarter than to compare Terry Schiavo to beached dolphins. If not you should demand the money you paid for your education back. Editor's Note: The Pirate Rant is an anonymous way for students and staff in the ECU community to voice their opinions.

Since then, the book has been once again a number one seller. Warren has writ- ten a ground-breaking pro- fession on the meaning of life. The book answers the most basic questions every- one faces - "Why am I here?" "What is my purpose?" This book was created to help readers understand God's plan for their lives. Warren enables readers to see the big picture of life, what It's all about and how to get on the path God planned for them. Warren is the found- ing pastor of Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, Calif. More than 205,000 pastors and church leaders from over 125 countries have attended "Purpose Driven" seminars. He is a very well-known pastor and has reached more people than he ever thought possible. A book that seems to con- tradict The Purpose Driven life also catches many people's attention, The Da Vinci Code, by Dan Brown.

This summer looks to be the biggest movie season in recent memory TREVOR KIRKENDALL STAFF WRITER Wars in space. Wars on earth (both ancient and sci-fi). Sequels, prequels and remakes. These are just a few things we can expect for an exciting summer movie season that is ahead of us. Over the last few years, Hol- lywood has been trying to figure out exactly what date the summer movie season actually starts. Most people agree it's Memorial Day weekend, while some say May 1. So let's have a quick look at the films to open in theaters this summer. The first weekend in May gives us Ridley Scott's Kingdom of Heaven with Orlando Bloom and Eva Green. This Is yet another film In the same realm of Gladiator and Troy. Also In the month of May, we have Will Ferrell's comedy movie Kicking and Screaming which also stars Robert Duvall and former Chi- cago Bears coach Mike Ditka. The animated film Madagascar, produced from the makers of Shrek, also opens in May. This film shows several animals trying to escape the zoo where they are housed so they can escape back to the land where they were taken. Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, Cedric the Enter- tainer, Jada Pinkett Smith and David Schwlmmer provide some of the character's voices. Memorial Day weekend brings two very big movies to the screen. The first is Adam Sandler's remake of the 1974 foot- ball film The Longest Yard. Also opening that week is the highly anticipated Star Wars: Episode III - The Revenge of the Slth. This is the third and final installment of the prequels to the classic Star Wars trilogy. This movie will rake in more cash than any other film this summer. The month of June brings us more great films. Ron Howard's see MOVIES page A9 Finally the time has come. Another year of education is behind us, the summer is before us and aside from the albums in our digital cameras, it is the albums in our CD collection that will most remind us of the past year. Like so many of us, music allowed us to escape the daily pressures life in college placed upon us. Maya Angelou once said, "Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness Such was the purpose of music in the lives of ECU students, whose musical affinities were a large part in the way they expressed themselves. So what albums of the past school year demonstrated these interests and provided that outlet? Despite many releases, here is a compilation of the albums made that were forefront leaders in their musical class, the most memorable of the past year. Stemming from a culture and a sound that was considered 8 "the next disco 50 Cent carries � on the role of hip-hop pioneer. In March, he released his sopho- more album The Massacre. The album debuted at number one and reached platinum status in less than two weeks. It's rare to go a day without hearing this LP thumping in someone's car pass- ing by. The album features songs "Disco Inferno "Candy Shop" and the controversial "Piggy Bank which takes stabs at Fat Joe, Jadakiss and Nas in a grow- ing lyrical rivalry. Other notable hip-hop CDs released in the past school year include: Eminem Encore), The Game (The Docu- mentary), Nelly (Suit, Sweat), Lil' Jon and the East Side Boyz (Crunk luice) and T.I. (Urban Legend). Zach Braff, previously well- known for his starring role on NBC's hit show "Scrubs created a movie and a soundtrack that struck an amazing chord among college students nationwide. The movie was Garden State and the soundtrack featured songs from indie groups such as The Shins, Frou Frou and oldies but good- ies Simon and Garfunkel. The Garden State Soundtrack won a Grammy for "Best Compilation Soundtrack Album for a Motion Picture, Television or Media and left its audience transfixed. Possibly resurrecting Rock back into the mainstream, Green Day's American Idiot transitioned from its Dookie days to a more potent and mature album. Along with criticizing current lead- ership in American politics, American Idiot was a clinic on the complete album. Songs include "American Idiot "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" and "Holiday Rolling Stone lauds the album: "Against all odds, Green Day has found a way to hit their 30s without either betraying their original spirit or falling on their faces Other albums of similar genres released this year include: Motley Crue (Red, White and Crue), Howie Day (Stop All the World Now), The Used (In Love and Death) and Jack Johnson (In Between Dreams). Legends always bring some- thing original to their field that transcends it. While we have yet to see if he lives up to his name completely, R&B singer John Legend and his debut album Get Lifted was a breath of fresh air to the music industry. A protege of Kanye West, Legend combined his melodic voice, unique talent on the piano, the award-winning production of West and vintage soul to create this benchmark. In a well-rounded field of artists John Legend and songs "Used to Love You" and "Ordinary People" stand out. Other notable rhythm and blues artists of the year include: Usher (Confessions), c'ara (Goodies), Destiny's Child (Destiny Fulfilled), American Idol winner and NC native Fan- tasia (Free Yourself), Ray Charles (Genius Loves Company), Jennifer Lopez (Rebirth) and Mario (Turn- ing Point). see CD page A9 4-21-05 THE EAST CAROLINIAN � FEATURES PAGE A9 Spring movie recap Movies a latest film, Cinderella Man, opens June 3.

Best Seller from page A8 CD from page A8 Movies that rocked in 2004-2005 LAURA KEEUNQ SENIOR WRITER aul II. tCDs. ' This year's movies far exceeded what was to be expected. If it seems like some of these movies have been out for a while, believe it or not, they came out this year. According to wikipedia.com, the top five gross- ing films of the year were Shrek 2, grossing over $9 million, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban grossing over $7.9 million, Spider-Man 2 grossing $7.8 million, The Incredibles grossing over $6.2 million and The Passion of the Christ grossing more than $6.1 million. This year was also the year for sequels and pre- quels. Movies such as Oceans 12, The Ring 2, Meet the Fockers, Bridget ones: The Edge of Reason, Kill Bill 2 and The Exorcist: The Beginning were among those that could not stop at just one. From comedy to horror, these films attracted a lot of attention. Independent or 'Indie' films were also very popular this year. Movies included in this genre were Hotel Rwanda, Garden State, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Napoleon Dynamite, Kinsey and Sideways. Who can forget the most popular Napoleon Dynamite with quotes such as "Idiot "I caught you this delicious bass "I spent two hours on the shading for your upper lip" and "Dude, you got like three feet of air off that jump Blockbuster hits of the year were plentiful. Movie after movie, the nation was stunned with great ones such as The Aviator, Finding Neverland, The Notebook, Elektra, Troy, Closer, House of Flying Daggers, Spanglish, The Day After Tomorrow, Fat Albert, I-Robot and National Treasure. "I liked National Treasure, starring Nicholas Cage, because I enjoy movies of that genre said Kyle Stough, junior construction management major. "Adding to my movie-going pleasure was the fact that the movie was about historic America, our Founding Fathers and the treasure they were rumored to have hidden. For history buffs, like me, this movie is a must-see As with every year, there are movies that make their debut around the holidays. Halloween proved to be frightening with horror films like The Grudge, Saw and other thrillers. Around Christmas, the ever- famous children's book, The Polar Express, rolled through town as well as Christmas with the Kranks and Surviving Christmas. The Incredibles and Shark Tale aTe a couple of this year's films in animation. Everyone loves those cute and cuddly animated characters that are saving the world by either stopping a world crushing monster or defeating sharks. As the year has gone by, there have been many hits in the movie department. Actors, actresses, directors and writers continue to impress the general public with their ingenious work. Hopefully, next year will be another exciting time for films. Stay tuned for what is yet to come.

The Da Vinci Code became number one with its first week out. Brown was recently named one of the World's 100 Most Influential People by TIME magazine. Several years ago Dr. Arthur Agatston, a cardiologist based in south Florida, developed a diet for his overweight patients. Thanks to his patients' excellent results, Dr. Agatston soon became very popular in the Miami area. But just as soon as The South Beach Diet hit the shelves, Agatston became well-known nationwide. His weight loss advice focuses on a healthy balance of "the good" carbohydrates and fats. He says decreasing the "bad" ones will help you metabolize what you eat better and will improve your insulin resistance, leading to weight loss. It's divided into three phases - each with specific meal plans and recipes. This book became a nationwide hit for everyone trying to lose weight. It still remains to be the number one diet book. Nighttime is My Time by Mary Higgins Clark hit the shelf and soon became a top-seller in the mystery section. Clark builds suspense with the story of Jean Sheridan, a college dean attend- ing her 20th high school reunion. She feels uneasy about attending due to the random group of people who all went different directions in life. To add to Jean's uneasy feeling she received an anonymous fax referring to her daughter - who she put up for adoption over 20 years ago. At the reunion, a detective obsessed with an unsolved murder of a young woman approached her. At first Jean is oblivious to his real intentions, but soon realizes he's out to kill the women who teased and humiliated him in high school - with Jean being his last victim. Clark is of Irish decent and believes she is a "nat- ural storyteller She has been chairman of the International Crime Congress, president of Mystery Writers of America and erected to the Board of Direc- tors of the Mystery Writers of America. With over 100 books published Clark continues with her passion. Though the aforementioned books were the best sellers of the past year, there are other books which are deemed worthy of mentioning. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side of the All- American Meal and The Lovely Bones: The Novel round off some of the years more popular books from all different genres. A break from school, for some students, will provide a great opportunity to catch up on some reading and maybe go out and read some of the new, exciting books of the summer that are not of the text-book variety.

Past from page A8 feeding tube generated tremen- dous media coverage during the last two weeks of her life and prompted a fierce debate over bioethics, euthanasia, legal guardianship, federalism and civil rights. "On Feb. 25, 1990, Terri suffered severe brain damage from cerebral hypoxia caused by cardiac arrest. On Feb. 11, 2000, a Florida circuit court ruled that Schiavo was in a persistent veg- etative state, and authorized her husband and guardian, Michael, to discontinue artificial life sup- port. The decision was affirmed on appeal by 19 separate judges. On March 18, her gastric feed- ing tube was removed taken from Wikipedia.org, which is an Internet encyclopedia. Another one of the year's big headlin- ers was the March 17 congres- sional inquisition, which was made seeking to look deep into baseball's tangled relationship with steroids. Garrison Beall, junior construction manage- ment major, said, "I would have to agree with Mike Colbern, the 1978-79 White Sox catcher that 'People don't know about what baseball does to its players I think it's a total let down that so many MLB players rely on enhancement drugs to up their performance, but at the same time I am sure that I cannot Imagine the pressure that must be put on them to succeed Of all the events that clut- tered this past year, the tsunami that hit all of South East Asia stood out amongst the rest. On Dec. 26, at 9:30 a.m local time, two tectonic plates shifted under the waters of the Indian Ocean just south of the Indonesian island of Sumatra. Twelve nations have been affected. The death toll is currently estimated to be almost 140,000 and is expected to reach 150,000. The hardest hit countries were Indonesia, with more than 94,000 dead and Sri Lanka, with about 30,000 killed. "It was ironically enlighten- ing to see how such a massive natural disaster caused nations all over the world to come together in aiding the tsunami's many victims said Stephanie Grice, freshmen communication major. This information, as well as a map of the destruction can be seen at CTV.ca, which is a trade- mark of CTV News. The death of celebrities is always seen as tragic events because, as viewers, the general I public is constantly involved with their lives. Celebrities almost seem to have an unspoken connection to the public, mainly because of this role-model type relationship. Anyone who has admired a famous person for their talents can't help but feel a sense of loss when their favorite star is no longer alive. Some of the milestone deaths from this past year were Francis Crick, co-discoverer of the DNA double helix, died July 28 at the age of 88. Marlon Brando, actor, died July 1 at the age of 80. Ray Charles, musician, died June 10 at the age of 73. Ronald Reagan, President of the United States, died June S at the age of 93. Julia Child, chef, died August 13 at the age of 91. Each affecting their own personal audience, all of these famous people impacted us.

Heart throb Chesney had many hits this season Kenny Chesney thrives on pulling the heart- strings of the youths of his audience. One of his most appealing songs to students here at ECU is "Keg in the Closet where he reminisces on his college days in the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity. He again released a collection of Spring Break-friendly songs with his new album Be as You Are: Songs from an Old Blue Chair. Those students native of eastern Carolina might find this album as comforting as Carolina barbecue and sweet tea on a Sunday after- noon. Other country albums of the year include: George Straight (SO Number Ones) and jimmy Buffet (License to Chill). Hans Christian Andersen once said, "Where words fail, music speaks Not only is the music we enjoy a refuge from the pressures of college, it also illustrates the thoughts and feelings of a population. The albums previously mentioned are within the vein of musical interest that the past year will be most remembered for. From Garden State to The Mas- sacre, these long plays accompanied ECU students from August to April, providing time capsules in the memory of the days come and gone. These albums were tantamount in our experiences, can take us back to the time of their release and remind us of the year that was. This writer can be reached at features@theeastcarolinian. com.

What was hot and what most definitely was not TOMEKA STEELE SENIOR WRITER The 2004 - 2005 school year has certainly been interesting when it comes to the different fashion trends that sprung up here and there. Some things were hot and original and we all fol- lowed suit. Other fashion trends ust caused us to stare longer at someone in awe that they actu- ally left the house that way. Let's begin in the fall of 2004. When we all got here it was blazing hot and summer was in the air. Over the summer most people developed their own sense of summer style and it was quite interesting to say the least. Many girls rocked the UGG boots with the classic mini-mini- skirt last summer. This trend seemed to annoy most people. The mistake with this combina- tion is that the logic behind it is flawed. Just because Jessica Simpson and Cameron Diaz did it, doesn't mean everyone can. UGG's are without a doubt a winter boot. The key word here is winter. Summer clothes and winter shoes ust don't mix. But for those brave few who tried it, we salute your courageousness. Another big staple in this school year's fashion was the screen print T-shirts. We have all seen the infamous "I See Dumb People" shirt. Who can deny it? These shirts are classics. The "Make 7, Up Yours" shirt was also another big hit. Screen print tees are still fashionable and a way to express your personality without saying a thing. "My favorite fashion of this school year most definitely had to be the tailored blazer with a graphic tee and a stylish hat to match. This look is mainly worn in the fall season. I also like the wife-beater and long jeans look. This goes great with a pair of extravagant chandelier earrings and some sexy pumps said Simone Baptiste, junior speech pathology major. For guys, the summer was all about "The White Tee even a song was made commenting on all the things a guy can do in his white tee. It's inexpensive and looks fresh with a pair of clean sneakers. The preppy look also worked for guys last summer. Guys were sporting Polo's and Diesel shoes like it was no tomor- row and it worked. For girls, it was off the shoulder shirts. Another fashion trend also led the pack last summer. Culottes, also known as gaucho pants, took the world by storm. The fine jersey knit material just flows in the wind and is comfortable yet sexy. Women love these pants. For fall, the material changed to capris and they too looked awe- some. There isn't a way possible to wear these pants, which stop right at your shins, wrong. This Is a wonderful thing for the fash- ionably challenged. As we moved into the fall season, guys and girls sported the tailored blazer. Blazers were and still are a fantastic addition to any wardrobe. Guys opted for the member's only type blazer or a vintage business blazer look with both a jean or khaki pant and some unique sneakers. The women of ECU worked blazers during the fall. Everyone seemed to have a unique style when it came to how they wore their blazer. Girls sometimes added small appliques or flower pins to their blazers to give it more edge. Blazers were undeni- ably on the hot list for this school year's fashion trends. One trend that took the campus over during the fall was the argyle cardigan and sweat- ers. Argyle prints were all over the place. Girls wore cute colors like pink and mint green and guys went for oranges, browns and blues. Once winter rolled around it was on to the next fashion hit. Everyone who's anyone had a pea coat this winter. The warm mate- rial and cool colors made every coat different. Even guys wore man tailored pea coats. Another winter fashion was the winter flight jacket. Every guy has one and every girl has the cute modi- fied one to keep warm on those cold walks to class. Now we can address UGG's. The winter UGG look was a total success. Any boot that is flat, comes high up on the calf and has some kind of built in fur lining is an awesome winter Store your stuff todav! w T Mini Storage DISCOUNT RATES 5x10 $3fcfl8 $22.00 with ECU ID 6x10 $3660 $24.00 with ECU ID 10x10 $400 $42.00 with ECU ID Other sate available at discount rates.

Moccasin boots that tied up rocked the campus as well as any snow boot. It seemed every girl had her own version of the UGG boot without the ugly. "Stilettos are in this school year. Also, bright colors such as teal and hot pink were in no matter what you were wearing said Summer Knight, junior finance major. Spring is finally here and students are beginning to shed heavy winter clothes for lighter styles. This spring it's all about linen. Linen shorts, linen culottes, linen shirts are all in. Bright colors are what spring is all about. Already oranges, greens and whites are making their way back onto campus. What about those all-impor- tant spring shoes? Of course, sporting Rainbows is a trend that is back in full force but the new addition to the spring foot- wear scene is top-Siders. Who knew these shoes, originally meant to be worn on boats for safety and have been around for 30 years would become the most popular footwear item of the season. "Fashion is innate. It is simply an extension of ones inner per- sonality. The clothes you wear say something, they make an expres- sion. So hopefully everyone has something good to say said Marquita Powell, senior political science major. This writer can be contacted at features@theeastcarolinian.com.

But then, its attitude and tone rep- resented the mere flicker of the athletic department's pulse. The somberness could be felt in the lack of a permanent athletic director, a disappointing bas- ketball season and the worst football season in history. Fathom this in your Delo- rean. A peep back into April 2004 would show ex-football coach John Thompson attempting to find a quarterback in spring prac- tice and Bill Herrion receiving a contract extension after bowing out in the first round of the Con- ference USA tournament with a senior-laced team. Remember Belton Rivers and Kevin Fain? Oh, how times have changed. A mass exodus among promi- nent coaches has reworked the face of the entire department. Administrative changes began at the top in early September with the announcement of Holland. A five-year rebuilding plan with current assistant athletic director Nick Floyd was announced. Holland, hired awkwardly after the start of the season, observed. Observed he did. On Nov. 17,2004, Holland stirred the pot. Asking Thompson to resign showed Holland's commitment to the future despite vast sights of possible improvement. A two-week search led to cur- rent Head Coach Skip Holtz. The Pirate Nation voiced their con- cerns when first rumored, but fans rationalized Holtz' resume. Since the first official press conference, Holtz has won over the crowd. A talented staff was added that included youth, experience and knowledge of ECU. Holtz, in an abbreviated amount of time, recruited local athletes. Essential to ECU'S success, players can now understand the importance of natural rivalries. With Holland's hire of Holtz, there are no smoke and mir- rors. Players are buying into the system and understanding the new schemes. Despite losing the starting quarterback heading into the fall, a new aura has been cre- ated from Holtz. That same aura did not emit from ex-coach Bill Herrion's six seasons. Always assured vast improvement, it never came. Holland's observation led to walk- ing papers for now associate head coach at the University of Arkansas. Herrion was ready with a new batch of recruits this season. He promised improvement, ath- leticism and senior leadership. He never delivered with a 70-98 record and 17-47 in conference. Undoubtedly a nice guy and a hard worker, he made only two C-USA tournaments in four years. A short search led to the hiring of former Virginia point guard Ricky Stokes. Stokes, a player under Holland, has hired three assistants. Stokes was teamed with Associ- ate Head Coach Mack McCarty. Stokes, a well-regarded recruiter, inked assistants that have expertise in finding hidden local talent. Stokes, barely familiar with the campus, addressed a posi- tion need with the signing of 6- foot - 9-inch Tyronne Beale. The 200-pounder is from Maryland's Allegany College and is the first official signee for Stokes. He aver- aged 22.3 points, 10.4 rebounds and 1.76 blocks last season at the same school Mike Castro attended. A change in policy has also occurred over the past year. Holland drips prestige, a trait not always associated with the Pirates. He has focused on "old- school" rules that serve as pillars for the department. Trivial things such as not allowing hats for athletes in buildings give ECU a sense of pride and worth. An increased focus on aca- demics helps ECU know what is important. A stringent policy on academics forces students to attend class or risk missing prac- tices or games. The new "rule" garnered interest in Sports Illus- trated because no other schools have yet to implement it. Holland has been open with the fans since his arrival. He has provided three open letters depicting his point of view on various subjects. The last urged fans to unite together to defeat opponents rather than complain about the program. Holland, Holtz and Stokes are the future of the Pirate Nation. It is their mission to bring ECU to the forefront of conference expansion, but with class and honor. Now a year away from the roughest seas, another year is on the horizon. Passing through the Ward Sports Medicine Building, the feel is a little different. About time.

The year in baseball: Idiots, faith, a return to greatness Red Sox win perhaps most memorable World Series in MLB history ROBERT LEONARD SENIOR WRITER Try this on for size. Name something the Florida Mar- lins did twice in 10 years the Boston Red Sox couldn't do in 86. Answer - win a World Series. Thanks to Curt Schilling and the other members of the 2004 Boston Red Sox, there is no 87th year. On a simple ground ball hit to closer Keith Foulke, the years of pain, agony and worn out jokes finally ended. The city and country celebrated a historical moment in sports as Edger Ren- teria was thrown out at first, Ending the 2004 World Series. It took the Red Sox 86 years to relive the feeling of 1918 - the date of their last title. One of the worst droughts in sports started on a simple trade that only the guy who drafted Sam Bowie ahead of Michael Jordan could appreciate. Babe Ruth was dealt from the Boston Red Sox to the Yankees for $125,000. After leading the Red Sox to the 1918 World Title with 29 23 innings pitched in the series, he was officially a Yankee. Captain Jason Varltek leads his team In displaying the boxes with their world series rings. The next 86 years would haunt the Red Sox faithful. While the Bo Sox struggled, the rest of Boston thrived. The Boston Mara- thon brought the best runners in the world to the city. The Bruins won five Stanley Cups and was the home to hockey greats like Bobby Orr and Ray Borque. The Celtics built a dynasty winning 11 NBA titles in 13 years, which included eight in a row. After a brief lapse, the Celtics would win another five titles over 13 years. The Patriots quickly became a dynasty, winning two super bowls and a third in 2005. Boston College lived in the minds of sports fan after Doug Flutie's immortal Hail Mary. It seemed the Red Sox were the athletic armpit of the city. Then 1975 came along and it looked like the curse would finally end. Back in the Fall Classic, every- thing was going the Red Sox way. Carlton Fisk waved his arms magically, pushing the ball fair and over the Green Monster for a 12th inning walk off home run in game six. In game seven, the Bo Sox jumped out to a 3-0 lead, but Pete Rose and the Big Red Machine battled back to win the title. Then perhaps the most infa- mous play in sports, let alone baseball, victimized Boston in 1986. With a chance to win the series in six, a simple ground ball dribbled the way of Red Sox first baseman Bill Buckner. The ball hit a pebble and skipped through his legs, guiding the Mets to a win in the sixth and seventh game, once again denying the Red Sox glory. After decades of heartbreak, 2003 seemed to be the year for the Sox. They looked unstoppable with Pedro throwing darts on the mound while boasting the most potent lineup in baseball. The road to the World Series from the AL is almost always through the Sox-Yanks rivalry and this year i Boston fans proudly fly the 2004 was no different. Game seven, tie ball game, bottom of the 11th inning. True Sox fans all around the world remember exactly where they were at this moment in time. In fact, many felt it coming - the collapse, the mistake, the curse. It did, and this time in the MLB Champion flag at Fenway. form of Aaron "bleeping" Boone crushing a home run to win the game, send the Sox home and leave them in the familiar state of watching their biggest rival celebrate another pennant.

There are three rooms with televisions in my apartment, and needless to say, all three were in full use on this night. As strange as it may sound, each room had a different personality, a different feel to it. Downstairs in the living room where the atmosphere was more party-like, my buddies and Mike, the guy 1 don't know, watched the game intently. At the same time however, there was joking, laughing and cheering. Kind of a relaxed mood for such an important game. In my room, two girls, both sort of bandwagon Heels' fans, watching quietly, but neverthe- less understanding the impor- tance of every possession. Every once in a while, a cheer or two, maybe even a cry for a call, but nothing too loud. Then there's me and my best bud Tony. The sports editor and myself are quite a different breed of UNC fans. When the game is on, interruptions with laughter and conversation about other things are not welcome. This game, tl.e biggest of them all, was something that we had both been waiting for since 1993 - the Tar Heels' last championship. It was pretty visible as well. Sweat pouring down both of our faces, unpleasant words screamed at officials and players throughout the game and uncontrollable joy when something spectacular happened. Carolina takes a IS point lead in the first half, me and Tony jump around like a couple of school girls who just got hit on by a senior. Flash forward. Throughout the night, we had all enjoyed the game in our own way. But as the clock ticked down and Luther Head hiked up Illinois' 40th three point attempt, an unsuccessful one, and Sean May grabbed the final rebound, three rooms became one. As Tony and I are jumping up and down in the "focused" room, we are bum rushed by about 10 of our closest friends, all screaming, "Wedid it The funniest part of the whole dog pile was Mike, who didn't shy away. He was right in the middle of it all. Although we didn't do it, it sure did feel like it. But now, here's a look at the guys, or who we like to call "the gods who did do It. Billy Packard made a state- ment at the beginning of the tour- nament that made me laugh. He said one day, he believed a 16 seed would overcome a number one seed and move on to the second round. 1 didn't realize how right he might one day lie, until all the number one seeds looked shaky in their opening round games. All except for UNC. No other number one seed won by more than 12 points, and number one Duke was held to just 57 points in their opening round game against a�esky Delaware State club. The Tar Heels, unlike other years ranked as a one or two, came out with a vengeance. The boys from Chapel Hill won convincingly over crowd favor- ite Oakland 96-68. Shooting 73 percent in the first half as well as setting a school record for three pointers in an NCAA tourna- ment game with 12, the Heels were off and rolling in the dance. Perhaps the most promising sign of the game was the performance turned in by freshman sensa- tion Marvin Williams. Williams scored 20 points and grabbed' eight boards to lead Carolina in both categories. Iowa State posed few prob- lems in the second round and North Carolina overcame a slug- Dan's gish first half to deal out their second consecutive victory of 25-plus points, winning 92-65 over the Cyclones. That was it. The easy games were over for the Tar Heels. Next up was Villanova, and boy did Head Coach Jay Wright put together one heck of a game plan to take the favorites down. Assisted by a controversial traveling call in the final minute of the game, UNC overcame a four point halftime deficit, to defeat the Wildcats 67-66. The first half belonged to Villa- nova guard Randy Foye. Foye scored 17 of his game high 28 points in the first half. Nova's smothering defense forced Carolina into poor shooting in the first half, which led to the deficit at half time. Carolina went on an 11-0 run with seven minutes left in the game, largely in part to numerous fast breaks and early first shots by the Wildcats. UNC held off a furious rally and moved on to the elite, where it looked like they had just begun the Big Ten regular season schedule. With wins over Wisconsin, Michigan State and Illinois in the elite eight, final four and the championship respec- tively, North Carolina not only conquered the country, but finally laid to rest the argument sur- rounding the ACC vs. the Big Ten. Rashad McCants, Raymond Felton and Sean May (whose birth- day was on Championship Monday) were all named to the all tourna- ment team along with Deron Wil- liams and Luther Head of Illinois. As for people asking UNC coach Roy Williams about the reasons why he never won a championship, they will now have to find a different question for the man, who has undoubt- edly cemented himself as one of the premiere coaches in America. "Maybe now they'll ask me how many hole-in-ones I've had in my lifetime said Williams at the post game press conference. "I'll be glad to answer that one This writer can be contacted at sports@theeastcarolinian.com.

These were guys who apparently took a few shots before the biggest game of their lives. Manny was a liability in the field, as always, but automatic at bat. David Ortiz was an RBI machine, johnny Damon sported the caveman look and started the series with the Yankees in the ALCS unable to hit air, let alone a baseball. The Sox lost game one, game two, and losing would be an understatement as the Yanks hammered Boston all over Fenway in game three. All seemed lost. This was the year. Schilling, Pedro, Lowe, Manny, Ortizhow were the Sox on the verge of getting swept? However, despite the despair, despite the deficit, Boston fans did what they do best - they kept the faith. Little did they know that faith would help vault their beloved Sox to the single greatest comeback in sports history. The Bo Sox took the next three games in dramatic fash- ion, tying the series at 3-3 and forcing game seven in New York. And even at home, in the Bronx where the old Yankee greats roam the hallowed halls of Yankee Stadium, where the curse of the bambino pulses strongest, the Sox kept the faith. They were not to be denied. Not this time. Not this year. Not this night. The Sox not only beat New York on their own field in game seven, they ran away with it, 10-3. Boston was now able to do to the Yanks what they had done to the Sox so many times-celebrate a pennant. The Red Sox were back in the series and were matched up against the St. Louis Cardinals, riding perhaps the most momen- tum gained by any single sports team in history. Both teams were known for getting their men around the bases quickly - these were the highest scoring teams in MLB. Game one proved this as the Red Sox won a shootout, 11-9. David Ortiz reached base 4 times while driving in 4 runs, including a first inning homer off Cardinal start- ing pitcher Woody Williams. DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO EARN THE GREEN BERET?

Even though they had lost game one, they still had scored nine runs. However, Red Sox aces Pedro Martinez, Curt Schilling and Derek Lowe would silence the Cardinal attack, giving up no earned runs over the next three games. The Red Sox bullpen performed nearly as well, only giving up two earned runs. Led by Manny Ramirez, the Red Sox's bats would not be silenced. Ramirez batted .412 in the series and knocked in six RBIs. Even if the bats were not there, the Red Sox pitching would have probably still car- ried them to the 2004 World Series Title, which they easily won in four games. Finally, after 86 years of curses, bad bounces and flat out misery, the Red Sox could finally hold their heads up along side the other great teams in their city and in baseball history. The members of the Bo Sox finally had something to put on their fingers - a World Series Championship Ring. In front of Celtics great Bill Russell, Patriots linebacker Teddy Bruschi and Bruin legend Bobby Orr, the Red Sox were presented their rings. Their presence at this event and the teams they repre- sented was almost a welcoming back into Boston greatness, some- thing the Red Sox truly missed. The banner rolled down the green monster, the fans went bonkers and the team smiled like idiots. Idiots who had finally beaten the curse that drubbed them for 86 long years. And just for extra emphasis, they accepted their rings in front of their long time nemesis. The Yanks sat in the away dugout, helpless, applauding their bitter rival. No Bucky Dent smash could crush this moment. No Boone blast could ruin this cer- emony. No phantom tag could crash this party. The Sox were the World Champs and no one could take that away from them.

Bonds "unknowingly" took steroids from a BALCO trainer, tainting his already less than reputable public image. The topic then began to snowball. With the release of former player Jose Canseco's book Juiced, came an avalanche of contro- versy. Canseco accused several superstars of taking steroids, most notably former teammate Mark McGwire. McGwire did not deny any steroid usage, instead he nearly broke down in a Congressional hearing. McGwire's reputation has now been forever soiled and the use of performance- enhancers may keep him out of the Hall of Fame. Other accused offenders include Gary Sheffield, Sammy Sosa and Jason Giambi. Jason Giambi admitted and apologized for using steroids while others vehemently deny any allega- tions. Bonds blames the media for the controversy surround- ing his performance and not his knowingly or unknowingly use of the "cream" and "clear" forms of steroids. The federal government entered the fray in the afore- mentioned hearing, attempting to crack down on illegal per- formance-enhancers. Congress called commissioner, Bud Selig and several players including McGwire, to the hearing solely for that purpose. Congress has also set its sights on other sports. The NFL will be the focus of future hearings. The government's main purpose for ridding these enhancers is to provide a strong example for amateur athletes, including the alarmingly increasing number of high school users. see STEROIDS page B8 Famous Catalog Clothing 12.

What do you do? The bad breaks are too many to count. You fly a wedge dead on at the flag stick and watch as it bounces off and rolls into the bunker on a downhill lie. You have an eagle putt on a par 5 that you barely miss and it rolls until it finds water. Bogey. You lip out putt after putt after putt. And this is just day one. "Tiger is going to fire a 65 tomorrow and get right back in the hunt I said to my brother. "At Augusta?" he said. "There is no way he goes that low He didn't go that low. I was wrong. He only shot 66 in round two, still trailing a blazing Chris DiMarco by six. Since most of day one was a washout, Woods and the rest of the field had to play as many holes as possible on Saturday to set up the Sunday finish at Augusta. Tiger started round three at the end of Saturday and finished on Sunday morning, with a 65. DiMarco, after starting so convincingly, was beginning to crumble under the pressure from Woods. DiMarco shot a third round, 74, which placed him three strokes behind Tiger, who was 8-0 in majors when lead- ing heading into the final day. Tiger teed off at 3 p.m. on Sunday afternoon with DiMarco as his playing partner. This was undoubtedly a two-man race. Woods put the pressure on early with birdie, birdie. But DiMarco's iron play was simply splendid and if it was not for his putter throughout the day, he might have dawned the Green Jacket when the evening arrived. After blowing two strokes of his lead. Tiger Woods stepped to the 16th tee box, well aware he needed something big to keep the pressure on thecharging DiMarco. Smack. Millions of Americans watched as Tiger grimaced. Way off the green and left, nearly finding the drink. His playing buddy stuck the green once again. This could be the tour- ney, not for Woods however. If DiMarco hits and Tiger does not reach a tap in distance on the tough green at 16, he could be staring bogey head on. Woods was first to play, obvi- ously, as his ball sat a great dis- tance from the putting surface. Woods addressed the ball as a full gallery looked on. He needed to get it close and carry at least a share of the lead into the last two holes. All was silent as the most softest of sounds came from the Tiger's club. He played it left of the cup, well left. The contour of the green would bring it back down near the cup and allow Woods to tap in for his par. But as soon as Tiger saw the ball hit the exact spot on the green that he wanted, he knew this could be the defin- ing moment. End over end the Nike Swoosh trickled closer and closer to the cup. DiMarco in the background, standing still, wait- ing. Woods and his caddy began running towards the ball, as if they knew its fate was to arrive in the bottom of the cup. And then it stopped. Smiles to frowns. Cheers to tears. Jubilation to anguish. Expressions changed in a matter of a second. The ball, with the clas- sic Nike check facing the gallery, had stopped on the lip of the cup. In the movies it would have fallen. But this is real life and stuff like that neverlT FELL. The crowd erupted, strang- ers hugged, high fives passed through the air without a care in the world. You get hit with one, too bad. It doesn't hurt. Tiger Woods just made one of the big- gest shots in golf history. Woods and caddy, priceless. A big come on and hand slap between the two and then back to business. DiMarco, stunned. He failed on his birdie attempt. He played par golf the rest of the way, which won him a ticket into a playoff with Woods, who bogeyed the final two holes coming in. Tiger would go on to win in the first playoff hole. The man is back. Watching Tiger walk to the trailer to finalize his scorecard, some of the commentators said critics were going to question Tiger's performance coming down the stretch. I say to those critics: Please grow up. The man got every possible bad break in the first round and trailed by seven strokes. Sometimes Tiger Woods can't run away with a tourney, especially when the balls doesn't roll his way. Tiger Woods is number one and the rest of the tour can kiss that goodbye for another several years. Forget a Tiger Slam or whatever a non-calendar year slam is called. Tiger Woods might win the grand slam, all four majors, in this year. If anyone can do it, it's Tiger. I'm saying for sure two out of four, like I said at the end of 2004. Watch out and pay atten- tion to the tube. Woods will single handily become the great- est golfer in the history of the game, in 2005. This writer can be contacted at sports@theeastcarolinian. com.

A so-called stronger testing polity for MLB with stiffer punishments. First-time offend- ers are suspended 10 days. A second time costs 30 days, a third 60 days and a fourth will suspend a player for the season. Selig was an advocate for the stronger steroid testing policy and the initial effects began on Opening Day. Alex Sanchez of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays was the first MLB player to be suspended under the new policy and Colorado Rockies outfielder Jorge Piedra fol- lowed suit. Both have combined for just seven career home runs. Thirty-eight minor leaguers have tested positive, reinforcing the notion that young players will do anything to reach the majors and sign that lucrative contract. Another cause for concern is the number of players from the Dominican Republic that tested positive for steroids or related substances. The first testing of the Dominican Summer League resulted in 97 positive tests or 11 percent of the players, six times higher than U.S. minor leagues. As the suspensions mount, the steroids scandal will con- tinue to escalate. Fortunately for Major League Baseball, the controversy will eventually die down like all other issues. What the sport needs is an exciting and untainted season to gain back the fans lost from the incidents that have taken place over the last year. � This writer can be contacted,at ' sports@theeastcarolinian.com.
