I ft Cean 1-3576 www.theeastcarolinian.com THE EAST CAROLINIAN Volume 81 Number 15 WEDNESDAY October 12,2005 Lecture by award-winning attorney raises serious issues Retiring UNC system president honored, Erskine Bowles chosen to succeed Domestic violence an epidemic in the U.S. SCOTT EATON STAFF WRITER A lecture sponsored by the women's studies program attracted a crowd of students Monday and forced the spon- sors to find a larger classroom to accommodate the attendees. Peter Romary, attorney at law, spoke about the issue of domes- tic violence in America and its impact on the economy and those who experience it. "Every hour, 56 women are victimized in the U.S. This year, there have been 52 murders contributed to domestic violence in North Carolina said Romary. According to Romary, even as domestic violence costs the economy $67 billion per year and the Center for Disease Control has categorized it as an epidemic, there is little attention and educa- tion devoted to this problem. "This is a cancer on our soci- ety he said. Romary began his lecture by quoting a question he had been asked and posing it to the audience. "If I go home and beat the s out of my wife, what the f" does it mean to you?" Romary said. The room was silent for a long moment as he posed the question again. "There are more work days lost due to violence to women than any other reason Romary said. Sixty-six percent of all CEOs say their business would benefit by educating employees about the effects of domestic violence, Romary said.

However, there's a problem with the implementation, lack of education and enforcement of these laws, Romary said. Romary asked the audience if anyone there knew how to get a restraining order. After a few valiant attempts by a few members of the audience, Romary explained how the state of North Carolina expects the average citizen to know they must go to the Civil Division of the Clerks Office to get the paperwork and the individual must fill it out. "It scares me that people are not given this information on a regular basis Romary said. Romary also pointed out that there is a problem with non- enforcement and a lack of educa- tion that renders these statutes ineffective. Romary cited a U.S. Supreme Court case that he argued in which the Court said police were under no mandate to enforce a restraining order. The case was Castle Rock v. Gonzalez and the mother, who had taken out a restraining order against her husband, sued the police when, after several pleas for help to the police went unanswered, the husband kidnapped and killed her two children. "So what is the use of that paper if it won't be enforced?" Romary said. Romary also took issue with a local case in which an attorney had been arrested for contempt of court after the judge appeared to have raised his client's bond because the judge determined the outfit worn by the defendant was too nice and, therefore, the defendant was under suspicion for being a drug dealer. "This judge wanted to look like he was tough on crime, but see LECTURE page A2 Last Saturday, retiring UNC President Molly Corbett Broad was honored at ECU during the Educator's Hall of Fame, four days following the Board of Gover- nors recommendation to install Erskine Bowles, former deputy White House chief of staff, as her successor. Broad and 20 other award- winners were acknowledged. She had been president of the UNC system since 1997. She is retiring at the conclusion of the fall semester. "President Broad has been instrumental in keeping teacher preparation and pre-K-12 initia- tives as strategic priorities of the UNC System said Marilyn Sheerer, dean of the College of Education. "She has been a champion for public education at all levels and models the kind of leadership we need to address our challenges Bowles received a unanimous recommendation from the Presi- dential Search Committee of the University of North Carolina Board Of Governors to become the sixteenth president. "The president's job takes a unique blend of skill, character and passion. We searched for a president who possesses all three and no one possesses that blend more than Bowles said Bradley Wilson, chairman of the Presi- dential Search Committee. "The president must understand at a deep level the teaching, research and outreach that constitute the mission of the University of North Carolina. The challenge for the president is also to have a good understanding of how to assemble the resources to carry out that mission - Bowles has both Wilson and the search team looked at 80 possible candidates to take Broad's position. They eventually chose Bowles, who will take over, effective Jan. 1, 2006. "We were fortunate to have met with some extraordinary people, but Erskine Bowles matched up closely with the presidential qualities listed in the Board's Leadership Statement Wilson said. "In the end, the search committee concluded it would have been unfair to dis- close the identities of the other applicants when Erskine Bowles had unanimous support from the committee The Leadership Statement holds the duties, responsibili- ties and character necessities involved with being president of the 16-constituent UNC system. Thepresidentis expected to"build consensus and establish a singular vision for the University accord- ing to the Leadership Statement. Bowles is becoming the head of an educational system that consumes more than $70 mil- lion of North Carolina's budget.

Sorority raises awareness with bracelets and information RACHEL KING STAFF WRITER Last week, Alpha Kappa Alpha took the initiative to fight breast cancer by raising money and educating students passing by Wright Plaza. This year alone, it is estimated that 40,410 women will die in the United States of breast cancer. This figure, prqvided by The American Cancer Society, prompted the sisters of Alpha Kappa Alpha to act. Alpha Kappa Alpha provides "service to all mankind and they provided it this month by sponsoring a fundraiser designed to promote awareness at ECU and give back to the community in a unique way. "We try to incorporate pro- grams every month, and we have national program targets that we are required to target each month said Yolanda Mitchell, Alpha Kappa Alpha member and junior special education major. It was decided that since October is Breast Cancer Aware- ness Month, the sorority would order and sell 100 pink breast cancer bracelets, modeled after the ever-popular, yellow "Livestrong" bracelets, made famous by Lance Armstrong. Every day last week from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m several members of Alpha Kappa Alpha set up a table in front of Wright Place and covered it in information, including breast cancer fliers from ECU'S Student Health Ser- vice, pink ribbons attached to statistics and the bracelets, which sold for $2 each. By Wednesday morning, 70 of the 100 bracelets had been sold. In addition, people were making donations, sometimes in amounts of up to $20. "The fundraiser has really exceeded our expectations because we have raised a lot of money and, basically, people have come up to us and told us they have family members touched by breast cancer said Adriane Spivey, Alpha Kappa Alpha member and junior nurs- ing major. "It's benefiting a lot of people here at ECU a lot of people have come up to the table and bought bracelets because they've had a loved one with breast cancer it's a worthy cause Mitchell said. Although the sorority has not decided exactly where the funds will go, Mitchell said the money will be given to either a local or national breast cancer foundation, where it can be put to its intended use. The sorority will conduct a meeting Sunday to decide the final destination of the money. Alpha Kappa Alpha is not the only campus organization attempting to educate the ECU community. ECU Student Health Services, who contributed fliers for the table, also "provides education concerning breast health, breast exams and con- sults with students about any breast health concerns Student Health Services can be reached at 328-6841. For additional information on breast cancer, including impor- tant statistics, prevention and risk factors, readers may consider visiting The American Cancer Society's Web site at cancer.org. "Everybody in some way has been touched by breast cancer, - whether it is a mother, grand- mother, family or friends said Amber Jones, Alpha Kappa Alpha member and senior psychology major. "It's very important that we make the effort to make the com- munity aware of this issue This is especially true in con- sideration of the fact that there is much about breast cancer that researchers still do not under- stand. "Seventy percent of breast cancer patients have none of the classical risk factors according to Student Health Services. "Women may create a false sense of security for themselves and may suffer from needless excessive worry However, women are not the only ones who need to know the risk factors. The American Cancer Society cautions that "men should be aware of risk fac- see CANCER page A2 African Union soldiers were captured in the Darfur region of Sudan until their release on Sunday. Darfur rebels release 36 African Union personnel, including American KHARTOUM, Sudan (AP) � Rebels have freed 36 mem- bers of an African Union team, including an American moni- tor, who were kidnapped in Sudan's western Darfur region, an AU spokesman said Monday as international envoys warned the region was again sliding into violence. Two members of the team, its Senegalese leader and a transla- tor were still being held, and an AU military high commander has gone to the Tine region near the border with Chad to negoti- ate their release, said Noured- dine Mezni, spokesman for the African Union in Khartoum. The 36 were set free late Sunday, he said in an e-mail statement that gave no details on where the detainees were released. The abductions occurred a day after two AU troops were killed by another rebel group - the first fatalities suffered by the pan-African body since it deployed peacekeepers to Darfur in April 2004. "The international commu- nity should be very alarmed by these events because the situation is getting out of hand and we are sliding backwards Baba Gana Kingibe, the organization's top envoy to Darfur, told The Asso- ciated Press. "We have had some very terrible tragedies, but this is one of the lowest points, if not the lowest, that we have had Kingibe's concerns were echoed by a top United Nations envoy, who said Darfur could again be engulfed by the type of indiscriminate violence that made it one of the world's worst humanitarian disasters two years ago. "We have not turned the corner Juan Mendez, the U.N. special adviser on the prevention of genocide, said Monday days after returning from a trip to the region and delivering a report to the U.N. Security Council. "I found the situation much more dangerous and worrisome than I expected it to be U.S. Ambassador John Bolton raised the possibility of new sanc- tions against Sudan, saying the council needed to do more about worsening security. He later told The Associated Press that one possibility was to put more con- trols on weapons flowing into the country. "Sanctions were put in before, it's not clear they're being adhered to Bolton told AP. "The question (is) whether we should do some- thing else in that area in terms of arms into the country The Sudanese government has condemned the abduction and killing of AU mission mem- bers in Sudan but said it was up to the African Union to stop the attacks. Khartoum also urged the international community to pressure rebels in Darfur to abide by a cease-fire agreement signed with the government. "Serious measures should be taken by the African Union to halt this targeting of (its) per- sonnel, of the civilians and of relief workers in Darfur by the rebels" the official Sudan news agency said Monday, quoting a statement issued by the govern- ment delegation to peace talks in Abuja, Nigeria. see SUDAN page A2 I INSIDE I News: A2 I Classifieds: A10 I Opinion: A3 I What's Hot: A4 I Sports: A6 Page A2 news@ttieeastcarotinian.com 252.328.6366 CHRIS MUNIEFi News Editor ZACK HILL Assistant News Editor WEDNESDAY October 12, 2005 Announcements Hauerwas to give Jarvls Lecture on Christianity and Culture On Thursday, Oct. 13 at 7:30 p.m in Harvey Banquet Hall at Minges Coliseum, Duke ethicist Stanley Hauerwas will examine America's love of longevity and fear of death at ECU'S annual Jarvis Lecture on Christianity and Culture series.

State NC chief Justice: Courts may suspend consideration of civil cases WINSTON-SALEM, NC (AP) - Courts may suspend consideration of civil cases until prosecutors catch up with criminal cases if legislators don't increase spending on state courts, North Carolina's chief justice says. "I have a plan Chief Justice I. Beverly Lake Jr. said Monday during a speech to more than 100 lawyers and judges at a meeting of the Forsyth County Bar Association. "We're not going to try any civil cases until we get criminal where it needs to be" Lake, 71, who has about three months before he retires from the N.C. Supreme Court, criticized the Legislature's allocations to state courts as being inadequate. Legislators approved $310 million for courts In the state budget for 2005- 06, Lake said. The courts got nearly $383 million in state money for 2003- 04, according the N.C. Administrative Office of the Courts. "They have been nickeling-and- diming us to death Lake said. The message has gotten to them, but why they won't accept it, I don't know After his speech, Lake said the caseload continues to Increase even while the courts' budget gets smaller. That threatens both defendants' rights to speedy trials and public safety, he said. For example, it's possible for a charge to be dismissed and a defendant released If it's determined that a defendant's constitutional right to a speedy trial was violated. Nearly 70,500 cases were pending in criminal Superior Court at the end of 2000-01, according to state court statistics. That number increased to 79,424 at the end of 2004-05. Half the pending cases in criminal Superior Court were older than 205 days at the end of 2000-01, the statistics showed. At the end of 2004- 05, half were older than 221 days. About 21,000 cases were pending in civil Superior Court at the end of 2004-05. Lake encouraged the lawyers to "bore in" on legislators because more courts and programs could be established with more state money. National Bushes pitch In with Gulf Coast rebuilding COVINGTON, La. (AP) - President Bush pledged Tuesday that the federal government will not seek to dictate terms for rebuilding the hurricane-devastated Gulf Coast but would allow state and local officials to make key decisions. He rejoiced In what he said is a spirit of revival there. "I think we've seen the spirits change Bush said in an Interview with NBC's Today" show. "Local people are beginning to realize there's hope In the Interview, both he and his wife, Laura, defended his choice of Harriet Miers for the Supreme Court. Bush reiterated his statement of last week that he was confident she would be confirmed by the Senate. Bush and his wife were interviewed at a Habitat for Humanity work site, in a town just north of New Orleans where the nonprofit organization is building houses for displaced people. In response to the government's Initially slow response to Hurricane Katrina, Bush said, "If I didn't respond well enough, I'm going to leam the lessons The federal government's response to the second huge storm to slam the area, Rita, has gotten better reviews. Tne story will unfold. I mean, the facts of the story will come out over time, and the important thing is for federal, state and local governments to adjust and to respond Bush said. The president and his wife joined other volunteers, driving nails into a sheet of plywood with a hammer. Bush rejected criticism from Democrats that his visits to the region, this was his eighth, were largely picture-taking opportunities for publicity and that his administration lacked a coherent reconstruction plan. "I don't think Washington ought to dictate to New Orleans how to rebuild he said. Bush said he had told Ray Nagin, the Democratic mayor of New Orleans, over dinner the night before that "we will support the plan that you develop On other subjects in the NBC interview, Bush: - Defended his Supreme Court choice against criticism by some members of the political right who feel let down because of Mler's lack of a conservative record. "My answer is Harriet Miers is going to be confirmed and people will get to see why I put her on the bench he said. - Predicted that the Oct. 15 Iraqi elections on a new constitution would be marked by violence from "a group of terrorists and killers who want to stop the advance of democracy And, Bush said, "I also expect people to vote - Expressed confidence that the government would develop a plan "to handle a major outbreak" of bird flu if it spreads to this country. - Declined to discuss a federal grand jury investigation that includes an inquiry into the role, if any, that top adviser Karl Rove played in disclosing the identity of an undercover CIA agent. "I'm not going to talk about the case. It's under review. Thank you for asking Bush said tersely. World Insurgents kill dozens of Iraqis ahead of the constitutional referendum BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - Insurgents determined to wreck Iraq's constitutional referendum killed more than 40 people and wounded dozens in a series of attacks Tuesday, including a suicide car bomb that ripped apart a crowded market in a town near the Syrian border, police said. U.S. and Iraqi officials have repeatedly warned that the insurgents would step up their attacks to undermine Saturday's referendum, a crucial step oUOdn from page A1 The government said it was committed to continuing nego- tiations to resolve the crisis in the western region. The AU has condemned the rebel killings and kidnappings, describing them as major viola- tions of the shaky cease-fire deal aimed at ending the Darfur con- flict that started in 2003 and has claimed the lives of more than 180,000 people The violence began after rebels took up arms against gov- ernment forces, rising up against what it regarded as years of state neglect. Sudanese authorities are accused of subsequently unleash- ing militias known as thejanja- weed against the rebels, fanning a conflict that has sparked what the U.N. has called the world's worst humanitarian crisis. The AU members and one American were taken hostage by the Justice and Equality Movement, a dissident faction of one of two main Darfur rebel groups, said Adam Thiam, a spokesman for AU Commission Chairman Alpha Oumar Konare. The freed American may have been part of a support group that is helping the AU mission in Darfur by providing logistics and helping fly in troops, according to an AU official who asked not to be identified because he was not authorized to speak to the media. The other hostages included AU military observers, civilian police and a Justice and Equality Movement official, theof f icial said. The AU first deployed to Sudan with less than SOO peace- keepers, but its mission has grown to 6,200 with financial and logis- tical support from the EU, the United States and others. The African Union also accused the other main Darfur rebel group, the Sudan Liberation Army, of ambushing an AU patrol Saturday and killing two Nige- rian soldiers and two Sudanese drivers attached to the team in South Darfur. The violence occurred in a territory that is largely controlled by the rebel group and has a his- tory of previous rebel interference and attacks against African Union teams, said an AU statement. Cancer from page A1 tors as well as women, although the chance of a man developing breast cancer is relatively low. After all, men can also have breast cancer, which is an often-overlooked fact. This past week has proven, however, that the men of ECU are more informed than they previ- ously were. "I've been shocked at how many guys have actually come up and bought bracelets a lot of them did not know that they can get breast cancer too said Martina Watkins, Alpha Kappa Alpha member and senior child development and family relations major. All in all, Alpha Kappa Alpha combated one of the most dangerous threats to man, ignorance. By spread- ing the word and taking the initia- tive, they have helped raise awareness and provide outlets for students and faculty to gain more information on breast cancer. The campus community has also assisted in this project through its generosity. This writer can be contacted at news@theeastcarolinian. com.

"Tough on crime?" Romary said. "Where is the justice?" Romary pushed the fact that he believed education within government, the school system and business is paramount. "The ECU Senate passed unanimously a resolution to begin offering conflict resolution courses Romary said. "As a society and for eco- nomic reasons, we need this training Most of the schools within the UNC system are still without any conflict resolution courses, he said. Romary offered some small tips that individuals can do to help. "I don't want to scare everyone and you don't have to devote your life to this, but there are little things you can do Romary said. "If you know a victim, let them know what they are going through Is not right andthereishelpoutthereforthem Sue Molhan, a sexual assault counselor in the ECU Counsel- ing Center, invited anyone who knows someone who is a victim or a victim themselves to contact her anytime at 328-5672. Molhan and Romary agreed anyone who has been a victim of domestic violence should seek help from a professional. "I've been here since July and the university has been very positive and supportive of me and this program said Molhan. This writer can be contacted at news@theeas t Carolinian, com.

In the deadliest attack in nearly two weeks, a suicide car bomb exploded at about 11 a.m. in a crowded open market in the northwestern town of Tal Afar, killing 30 Iraqis and wounding 45, said Brig. Najim Abdullah, Tal Afar's police chief. US and Iraqi forces routed insurgents in a major offensive there last month. He said all the victims appeared to be civilians since no Iraqi or U.S. forces were in the center of Tal Afar, which is 260 miles northwest of Baghdad. Insurgents also used two suicide car bombs, three roadside bombs and four drive-by shootings in the capital on Tuesday to kill a total of 14 Iraqis; 29 were wounded, police said. The worst attack involved a suicide car bomb that exploded about noon at an Iraqi army checkpoint in a busy area of western Baghdad, killing eight Iraqi soldiers and one civilian and wounding 12 soldiers, said police Capt. Qassim Hussein. The violence came four days ahead of Iraq's key vote on the draft constitution, which Kurds and the majority Shiites largely support dnd the Sunni Arab minority rejects. Sunnis are campaigning to defeat the charter at the polls, although officials from all sides have been trying up to the last minute to decide on changes to the constitution to swing Sunni support. Many Sunnis fear the document would create nearly autonomous Kurdish and Shiite mini-states in the north and south, where Iraq's oil wealth is located, and leave most Sunnis Isolated in central and western Iraq under a weak central government in Baghdad. Whether the constitution passes or fails, Iraq is due to hold elections for a new parliament on Dec. 15. Militants are demanding that Iraqis boycott the referendum and have killed at least 384 people in the last 16 days In a series of attacks. In another development, a top election official said Tuesday that Iraqi law will allow Saddam Hussein and thousands-of other detainees who have not been brought to trial to vote in the referendum. However, Abdul Hussein Hindawi, one of the eight highest-ranking officials on the Independent Electoral Commission in Iraq, also said the organization was still awaiting a full list from the Interior Ministry and the U.Sled coalition of the detainees who should be allowed to receive copies of the draft constitution and to vote at Abu Ghraib prison and several other U.S. detention centers.

Hilton fans may not enjoy this Why do people admire Paris Hilton? BENJAMIN CORMACK CASUAL OBSERVER She is everywhere, everyone is talk- ing about her and, apparently, everyone wants to be like her: skinny, sexy, rich and famous. I guess I can't really blame them. Of course I'm talking about Paris Hilton. While others may have jumped on the we-love-Paris-Hilton- bandwagon, I just don't see a reason to get on it. Why do people like or at least appear to like Paris Hilton so much? As I recall, she came into the public eye out of relative obscurity. I mean, I never knew the Hilton family had a daughter named Paris. Next thing you know, she has a TV show in the works and a certain video floating around cyberspace. Next thing you know, she is a household name, inspiring fashion and generally doing anything to grab people's attention, and she continues to do so. I've seen and heard a few examples of what could be considered inspired by Paris Hilton. I've read in the Pirate Rants about people discussing the "big ugly" sunglasses some women are wearing around campus. Now I'm not certain about this, but isn't this a trend started by Paris? Most of the times I've seen her on TV, she was wearing sunglasses, but I really wasn't paying enough attention to her to really say for certain what they looked like. Then a few weeks ago, I saw a group of people talking in the entrance room of my dorm, apparently studying or working on a project together, and one of them had two little black dogs with her. The dogs were sitting in a stroller. Now this is something I know can connect to Paris because it is one of the most bizarre and annoying things about her. Why did she carry that dog, a chihua- hua named Tinkerbell, around with her like some kind of fashion accessory? Now I've heard that Paris has left Tin- kerbell at home with her mother sports a smaller Chihuahua named Bambi. Tinkerbell apparently got too big for her to carry around. Apparently, I'm not the only one who thinks Paris is not a great pet owner. The organization known as People For The Ethical Treatment Of Animals (PETA) has come down on Paris for treating Tinkerbell like something she's grown out of. One spokesman for PETA said, "It's a pity that Paris's heart doesn't match her pocketbook. Animals shouldn't be disposed of like last season's trendy handbag My confusion about Paris Hilton's popularity goes beyond her relation- ship with her pets. I just don't find her very attractive. She doesn't even look real to me - she looks like some kind of living, life-size Barbie doll. Her skin looks like it would feel like plastic and the color would rub-off onto my hands. I don't know if that is her original nose, but if isn't I'd ask for my money back. It just doesn't look right. Finally, Paris has this image that I can only define as non-unique. I don't know if it's because so many people are copying her style, if she is just promoting the latest fashions or wearing what a lot of other people are wearing, but there is nothing I can see about her that stands out and makes her unique among all the other faces of celebrity-dom or even of this campus. I can't even stand to watch her TV show. She and Nicole Richie, or whoever it is she has got following her around now, go around from one differ- ent place to another. Paris then finds a bunch of ways to either degrade herself or act like she's better than the people she meets, and it's all good because she has more money than most of us, maybe even all of us put together, will ever make in a lifetime. The thing is, though, most of her money is not money that she earned. It's money that her parents earned, and if things go well for Paris, she'll be running the family business someday. So she has very little to work for and because of this, I would imagine she has a very big void in her life. Maybe daddy-Hilton was too busy running his fancy, over- priced hotels to pay attention to her. I can't take Paris seriously because she seems like a little girl who wants people to pay attention to her and will do whatever it takes to get attention and take any she can get. I mean how does someone with her "social stand- ing" and "popularity" end up doing a Burger King commercial? I mean Darius Rucker from Hootie and the Blowfish dressed up in a cowboy outfit for one of their commercials. When was the last time you saw him before that? I think Paris needs a better agent. Paris Hilton has done one thing that makes her seem like not such a bad person. Apparently she and a few other celebrities earned money to help victims of Hurricane Katrina by auc- tioning themselves out for dates. Some high ranking socialite paid $200,000 for an evening with Paris. Now whether or not that will be featured on "The Simple Life" I don't know. Frankly there's a lot of things I could buy with $200,000 that I could find entertain- ing, but Paris Hilton isn't one of them. Maybe if Paris Hilton was famous for doing something worthy of being admired on a regular basis, I would have a different opinion. Until then, I'll let that bandwagon roll on by. In My Opinion Fighting obesity with a food 'fat tax' (KRT) � It seems that Americans are constantly getting pelted with sci- entific studies that tell us that we are fat and getting fatter by the minute. The latest round of bad news was brought to us courtesy of researchers at Boston University who have been gathering health data on a group of 4,000 adults for the last 30 years. Their conclusion: a jaw-dropping nine out of 10 men and seven out of 10 women will become overweight at some point in their lives. And those of us who have managed to keep the weight monster at bay into middle age shouldn't be too smug. Half the people in the study who reached the summer of their lives without a weight problem eventually joined the ranks of the "large" majority. Although the numbers were a little higher than expected, they don't (or shouldn't, at least) come as a complete shock to anyone. Our culture, our life- styles, and our work habits all conspire against us in the battle to stay fit. Foods that are high in calories and low in food value are tasty, plentiful and convenient, and many of our best- paying jobs and most popular leisure activities have us sitting nearly motion- less in front of video displays for hours and hours on end. The government has responded to the situation by encouraging us to eat right and get more exercise. They even came up with a colorful new food pyramid to illustrate the latest scientific thinking on what constitutes a healthy diet. Yeah, I'm sure that's going to help. We may as well hope for the Fat Fairy to come along while we're sleeping and magically make us all thin with a wave of her skinny wand. If the government really wants to do something about the obesity epi- demic, it needs to stick to what it knows best. And that's raising taxes. The government could calculate a "fat tax" that would be tied directly to the relative calorie content of each food item we buy compared to its overall nutritional value. The more "empty calories" a food provides, the higher the tax. Fresh fruits and vegetables would of course be taxed at 0 percent, but potato chips, french fries and ice cream would be hit really hard. How does $5 for a large fry sound? Or $20 for a triple-decker bacon cheese- burger? Not too good, right? Well that's the idea. I'll bet we'd think twice before pigging out on junk food six days a week if our pocketbooks were hit harder when we went that route. After all, despite all the noise that conservationists have been making for years about the importance of cutting back on fossil fuel use, the average American couldn't be bothered with such nonsense until gasoline hit $3 a gallon. Now everyone wants a hybrid. The same motivation would undoubt- edly work if it was applied to the kinds of food that are most responsible for increasing our waist lines. So where would the extra money go? My advice would be to use it to finance tax credits to reimburse companies that provide their employ- ees with an hour of fully compensated time each day to be used for vigorous exercise. People would be forced, by financial necessity, to eat more healthy foods and they'd be rewarded with an extra hour of time off each workday to go out and take a walk, go swimming or ride a bike. It wouldn't completely solve the obesity epidemic, but I guarantee you my plan would make a significant impact. Of course, it's unlikely such a plan would win the popular support it would need to become reality. We've already had to give up our SUVs. It would be cruel and unusual to make us give up McDonald's and Krispy Kreme as well. I mean, there has to be some pleasure in life, right? Pirate Rant It must be Wednesday again. All the fraternitiessororities are wearing their "cool" letters! W. stole my lunch money. Then he beat me up behind the dumpster. I'm telling Barbara. Looks like I'll be clogging my arteries with Sbarros pizza and chicken wraps since rotten salads are the only thing available on campus. Yes I am Anti Greek, and Yes I will be attending Reggae on the Lake. That's the only thing you Greek people have going for you. All the other parties are lame so don't worry, I wont be attending. Honestly, is it that hard to remember you set an alarm? If you're going to nave the most god-awful noise for an alarm clock, as least have the decency to shut it off when you get up. The rest of the floor does NOT enjoy hearing your alarm go off from 6 in the morn- ing to about 9. Sperrys, Rainbows, Uniqueness, Indi- viduality, they are all fads and ways to conform to society. People need to get a grip and stop classifying people on the outside. Check out the inside first! I love how everyone complains about politics. No one is forcing you to live in this country, and if you don't like the way things are going, ust leave. Go live in a country where you have no control over any facet of your life. For all of the sociology grad students, who talk so grammatically correct and look down on everyone else, grow up, until you apply that degree you aren't anything! Why is it that TEC never prints articles about the crimes that actually occur on campus? Two major drug dealers have been arrested on campus (in dorms, no less) in the last few weeks and yet no mention of them, or any other crime on campus, has been made in your paper. The students should be better informed about what is going on around them, and TEC has a responsibility to help. What happened to all the shiny new Red Sox's hats? Did the bandwagon break down or something? To the girl on the track at the SRC in the blue shorts: Do you mind if I tell you, you are the most beautiful girl in the world? Last time 1 checked, 1 was sure that sidewalks were not strictly for one-way traffic. I'd like to get up the Hill without dodging your mobs, thank you. Friends don't let friends whine in the Pirate Rant. To the guy that gave me a cappuccino outside of West End last night. Thank you so much, you really made my day, and helped me remember that there are a few good and selfless people left on this campus. Anyone thinking about living in Fletcher next semester should get to know the coordinator first then you will rethink your decision. What used to be a fun and popular dorm has now turned into hell! When did the library become a family day care center? Take your baby carriage and get out. Some of us are actually trying to study, and your crying baby isn't helping us concentrate. Where was everyone when Chuck D was on campus? For all of you 18 to 20-something's still living off Mama and Daddy's dime, you may not be so liberal when you get out into the real world. Why is it that a certain rapper has the audacity to say that Bush doesn't like black people and the government isn't giving enough to the hurricane victims when you watch cribs on MTV, all the rappers are driving 350,000 cars? They are lucky they give $10,000 to the cause (minimal donation) and expect everyone else to foot the bill or we are racist? It would lie great if the TEC would write articles worth reading! I pick up a copy every day out of sheer haoit, and every day it takes me two minutes to look through and see that, yet again There is nothing worth my time to read. So the school can afford all the repairs in the Old Cafeteria Complex, but they can't put more streetlights on the Mall so that students don't have to worry about getting jumped when they are trying to walk around campus at night. Although ECU has always been much better at being retroactive than they ever were at being proactive. I'm tired of school. Whatever. Why is that Java City has a total monopoly over the coffee available here on campus to students yet, when you go to order they're always out of the drink you were craving, never have skim milk, don't have smoothie mix, the bagels haven't arrived, they don't have the syrup you want, and finally when you settle on just getting a plain cup of coffee. To all of the whiney freshman who think that they have too much home- work, hard professors and demand- ing schedules: Shut your lips. Oh my God (Valley girl inflection for extra sarcasm). You didn't actually think that university life would come with high expectations, difficult challenges and standards of achievement, did you? Suckers. Tap that keg. Oversleep through that class. Funnel your parent s hard earned money into a black hole of academic failure and malaise. You're just making the job market less competitive for me. Quit your bellyaching and join a study group for Jehovah's sake. To those people who use their cell phones on the bus, ifyou want your conversation with your rriendsfarnilysignlficant other to be private, DONT have that conversation on a bus full of students and expect them not to overhear your loud, obnoxious arguments, ALL the details of your sex life, or your personal problems. We don't want to hear it, and I bet you really don't want us to either.

The Da Vinci Code Small cars rule the world T The newest fads in the car craze TOMEKASTEELE SENIOR WRITER Horoscopes: This year has seen a whole host of new cars and car acces- sories, but the one that sticks out the most are smaller vehicles. Hybrids, Beetles, Scions and Mini Coopers made by various car companies are flying off the lot. Evidently, if it's small, it's hot. Smaller compact cars are being seen on the hottest televi- sion shows, and many celebrities are doing away with large SUV's for customized Mini Cars with English style. The design Euro- pean cars have been utilizing for years is making its way to the U.S and we are catching on that bigger isn't necessarily better. One reason smaller cars are taking over is because they run so much better on gas. In the midst of today's ever-rising gas prices, conservation of money is a huge factor in a buyer's mind. This is why more people are choosing the Honda Civic Hybrid when considering fuel efficiency. The 2005 Honda Civic Hybrid was rated the third most fuel efficient car sold in the U.S. based I on the Environment Protection 2 Agency miles-per gallon ratings for city and highway travel. The � Hybrid has a small, sleek appear-1 ance and costs around $20,000. r The Hybrid is so environmen- tally friendly that it is eligible for a clean-fuel tax deduction. Honda also has an Accord Hybrid series. Another hot car is the revamped Volkswagen Beetle TD1. This car has a unique shape and comes in a variety of colors. The tiny flower that comes in the dashboard is a distinctive and charming accessory that sets the Beetle apart from any other vehicle. The TDI Beetle was ranked fourth in the "Top 10 Most Fuel- Efficient Cars for 2005" accord- ing to the EPA formula. Although this car looks small from the outside, once inside it's quite spacious and it's always cool to be able to zip through traffic and easily parallel-park. "I bought my Beetle because It is great on gas and has a good sell back value. It's compact, cute and different. It defines me in that way because it's not like Aries - If at first you dont succeed, join up with a group. The more-the-merrier, and also the more creative ideas. Taurus - Important people are watching, and they're impressed with your performance. Accept the applause graciously. Gemini - Self-discipline is a wonderful habit to acquire. It makes just about everything else achievable. Practice. Cancer - If things aren't going quite as expected, take a break. Atrip to the mall will help you gain a fresh perspective. Leo - If things don't go according to plan, don't dismay. Consult an expert and modify. Virgo - It's becoming more obvious what needs to be done. Set up a routine so the money automatically flows into your pockets. Ubra - After a slight disappointment, you'll find everything going smoothly. Don't dwell on your loss - ignore It. Scorpio - You have more than you need set aside to make your place more to your liking. All It takes now is imagination, and you have plenty of that, too. Sagittarius - Go back over the material one more time just to make sure. You almost have it memorized by now. Capricorn - Now's the time to ask for money. The people who have it will be feeling generous. Be respectful and make even more. Aquarius - You'll be able to tell when conditions have changed in your favor. It'll feel like the leash just broke and you're free. Pisces - Something you've kept hidden away has increased in value. Discover the assets you didn't know you had in your own closets.

They have a cool eclectic commercial out, and many people are tricking out their Scions with chrome, custom paint jobs, rims and low rider tires. Scions come in three hot styles. The xA, xB and the tC. The xA has a rounded box shape. The xB has the clean-cut box shape and the tC has a basic compact shape. The xB is the design that is most interesting and mostly seen around Greenville. It has a futuristic look and tons of things can be done to it to make it unique and distinct from other cars. This is definitely a car to be seen. The xB Scion sticks out from all the other standard cars and turns heads with its innovative design. The Scion xA is ranked eighth on the top ten most fuel efficient cars for 2005 list. The Scion xB grabbed the ninth spot on the list. Not only are these cars styl- ish, they are cheap on gas too. What more could a broke college student ask for? The Scion Web site offers many accessories that can be used to customize any Scion. Some accessories include clutches and a number of other car gadgets. Another extraordinarily designed vehicle that is hot in 2005 is the Mini Cooper. This eclectic car is showing up all over the big screen and television. The Mini Cooper is the epitome of European taste. This car comes as a 2-door coupe, convertible, sports coupe or a 4-passenger family coupe. The Mini Cooper sells from $17,000 - $25,000 depending on which of the four models one chooses to buy. Even though the car's title implies that it is a min- iature version of a standard car, the Mini Cooper has tons of head and foot room. With its cool oval shaped headlights and tailored design, the Mini Cooper will be here to stay for years to come. So the hottest cars of 2005 aren't just stylish and they aren't just small, they are also fuel effi- cient and more environmentally friendly. Smaller cars are simply fantastic, easy to manage and their unique shapes just make them that much hotter. This writer can be contacted at featurei@theeastcarolinian.com. O 10.

Taken from hookedonfacts.com Gas prices are on the rise after the disaster of Hurricane Katrina sent the American economy into turmoil. Despite urges from Presi- dent Bush to conserve gas, people are still heading to their local dealership to buy gas guzzling trucks and SUVs. The demand is high for vehicles that offer versatility as well as style. Full size pickup trucks are an American classic because they bring storage capacity and off road capabilities to the average consumer. You see them every- where, while driving in the city or cruising through back roads, they have become a staple vehicle in our society. The Chevy Silverado Is a popular choice with half, three quarter and one-ton capacities available, as well as a number of cab configurations - this truck can fit the needs of any indi- vidual. Its solid construction and quietness are two features that outweigh its low gas mileage. The Nissan Titan is a more luxurious full size pickup than others because it not only offers various capacities, but also fea- tures two cab configurations and three trim levels as well as optional side-curtain air bags. The wide opening rear doors are great for families because they open wide to allow for comfort- able transitions both into and out of the truck. Refinement and ride comfort are the Toyota Tundra's claims to fame. There is a vast amount of front seat space which allows both the driver and passenger room to be comfortable, not cramped like in many other trucks. Another pro for this vehicle is the high resale value that it possesses. This may not be an initial priority for most buyers, but it is something buyers should consider. Compact pickup trucks are an affordable way to enjoy the benefits of having a truck with- out breaking the bank. These trucks weigh no more than 5,500 pounds and offer the same advantages that full size pickups do. They have the ever important storage capacity and off road capabilities - the only difference from a full size pickup is the amount of these elements is less prevalent. The Ford Ranger has been an American favorite for a number of years now. They are now offered with a variety of features to choose from such as cab style and engine choice. The four-cylinder engine offers better fuel economy than the V-6 for those trying to conserve gas. Overall, the driv- ing ease and maneuverability of this truck make it a good choice no matter what options you choose. For those who want a big, tough truck and don't care how much fuel they use, try a Ford F- Series. The new F-150 has been a best seller for Ford with all of the rugged, yet comfortable options that are available. The F-Series see SUV page A6 Bullock is stunning at the Academy Awards. How an ECU dropout became America's sweetheart GARY MCCABE STAFF WRITER In 1985, Sandra Bullock was a 20-year-old aspiring actress leaving ECU with a dream, her dog and anything else that would fit into her Honda Accord as she migrated to New York City to try her luck at acting. The only thing she forgot, though, was her degree - she was three credits short of getting her BA in drama. Fast-forward to 2005 and Bullock is an A-list actress with millions of fans and even more dollars. Just imagine what she could have accomplished if she had stuck around and gotten that degree. Bullock was born on July 26, 1964 to John and Helga Bullock. Her father was an Alabama-born, Julliard scholar working in the upper-echelon of the US Army. Her mother was a German opera singer living in Nuremburg. The two met and within three years, were married. Eventually the pair moved to Arlington, Va where John worked as a contrac- tor for the Pentagon. Before too long they had their first child, Sandra. Bullock's formative years were spent bouncing between Germany and the United States. Overseas, she would live in Salzburg and Nuremburg with her aunt and grandmother and attend German schools. Bullock began studying ballet and sing- ing in choruses. At age 10 she moved back the United States for good but after so many years in Europe, was quite different from the students in Arlington. Bullock was teased and humiliated by her classmates for the way she acted, the way she dressed and the way she looked. However, the awkward phase would be short lived and by high school, Bullock had developed into a lovely young lady who excelled at cheer- leading and drama. Her senior class named her Class Clown in 1982 and after graduating she enrolled at ECU to pursue see SANDRA page A6 ! 10-12-05 THE EAST CAROUNIAN � FEATURES PAGE A5 2005 fflcient irld ITDI taTDI itle TDI Hybrid ton, Va a contrac- efore too irst child, ve years between ted States, i live in mrg with rther and s.

Stars are no longer known for their work, but rather for the company they keep. While some couples seem to be breaking up as fast as they get together, others are furthering their commitments with surprise engagements and, in some cases, weddings. No matter how perfect for ' one another some people seem to be, more often than not there is some sort of trouble in paradise. Let's examine some star couples who recently made headlines not for being successful, but rather for failing to stay together. Well, it was no shock when it was announced that Renee Zell- weger and Kenny Chesney were getting a divorce after only four months of marriage.

These couples were on "heart- break-avenue" with the disap- pearance of the fundamental ingredient, love. Not to say that these couples were never in love, but toward the end of their rela- tionships you could tell the love was fading. Relationships can withstand almost anything if the two people involved are willing to work through it, but when love is lost there is no hope. While some celebrity couples seem to be on the rocks, others are thriving and growing to new heights. Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore tied the knot a few weeks ago after two years of dating. There is a IS year age difference between the two, which makes some wonder how strong their commitment to one another is. Now that they are married, I fear Kutcher will fold under the pressure of having to fill not only the role of husband, but stepfather as well. There has been buzz of Mat- thew McConaughey planning to propose to girlfriend, Penelope Cruz since last February. Nothing has come of this gossip - however, McConaughey has recently been promoting an upcoming film and during several interviews spoken of his love for her. There is no doubt in my mind that if these two decide to further commit, they will have no prob- lem surviving. By keeping their relationship out of the media, they are giving themselves a chance to be together without public scrutiny. One couple that never seems to leave the spotlight are newly- weds Donald Trump and Mela- nia Knauss. After marrying in January of this year, the two have been in magazines and on enter- tainment shows almost every- day. Now the two are making waves with the announcement of Melania's pregnancy. Why are the two in such a hurry to start a family? I'm sure Melania is going to make sure she has a Trump heir just in case the marriage ends in divorce, which is highly likely considering their 24 year age difference. In this case, I believe the term "gold digger" is the best description of Melania. While some celebrities are destined to split, there are other couples who I have no doubt will be together forever.

While attending ECU, Bullock supported herself by competing in dance competitions but after a breakthrough performance in a production of Three Sisters, decided that the time was right to move forward with her career - despite being so close to getting her degree. She moved to New York and was accepted to the world- renowned Neighborhood Play- house School of the Theatre, a school whose graduates include Steve McQueen, James Caan, Diane Keaton and Gregory Peck. Studying under Sanford Meisner, she began doing auditions and slowly made a name for herself. Soon movie and television roles started coming her way. In 1989, she had a role in The Preppie Murder and in 1990 she played the Melanie Griffith role in the TV adaptation of Working Girl. The show didn't last, but Bullock persevered. Later in 1990, while filming Love Potion 9, she fell for co-star Tate Donovan. After the- film wrapped, Bullocked moved to Los Angeles to live with Tate. Love Potion 9 bombed when it was released two years later. Things began slowly for Bull- ock in Los Angeles, but In 1993, she won a small role in The Vanishing. After a short time, a Warner Brothers executive recommended her for a role In Demolition Man co-starring Syl- vester Stallone and Wesley Snipes. Demolition Man was an important film for Bullock because it was a mainstream film which she could display her talent but most importantly for what it would lead to. Demolition Man producer Joel Silver was so Impressed with Bull- ock that he recommended her to director Jan De Bont. At the time, De Bont was working a film about a deranged criminal who planted a bomb on a bus and should the bus drop below SO mph, it would detonate. The film was Speed. De Bont offered Bullock the role of Annie Porter, the feisty passenger-turned-bus driver with a suspended driver's license. Initially producers were livid that De Bont cast a virtually unknown in the role of Annie instead of a famous, busty blonde, which they wanted. However, the ends justified the means. Speed grossed well more than $100 million domes- tically and became one of the biggest hits of 1994. As a result, Bullock became one of the big- gest actresses in Hollywood and quickly became a bankable lead actress. Since Speed, Bullock has headlined string of successful films including Miss Congenial- ity, While You Were Sleeping and A Time to Kill, and has even segued that into a successful producing career. Bullock, however, has never let her success go to her head and is said to be one of the most genuine, warm and down-to- Earth celebrities in America. Julia Roberts and Meg Ryan can pre- tend to be America's sweetheart on screen but reportedly, they're tyrannical and self-centered when the cameras are off. Bullock truly is America's sweetheart. Not bad for an ECU dropout. This writer can be contacted at features@theeas tcarolinian. com. Restaurant Review: The Pita Pit ?

If you want choices then the Chevy Colorado is your dream come true. This truck has three cab configurations, three sus- pension choices and optional roof-rail side-curtain airbags. However, one drawback is the low ride comfort. SUVs seem to be everywhere these days with a diverse range of drivers. SUVs are a cross between trucks and cars. They offer the comfort of riding in a car and the storage capabilities of a truck. The Jeep Liberty offers the comfort of a car while maintain- ing a high storage capacity. The seat comfort and support is sub- stantial, as well as the steering and handling capabilities. There are a variety of options available with this SUV, including the choice of both two or four wheel drive and a newly available dlesel engine. For those concerned with safety, the Saturn Vue earned one of the highest crash test ratings in the industry. The handling and stability of the Vue is superb, providing drivers with great maneuverability. The interior layout, as well as easy entry and exit features, appeal to everyone. If reliability is what you are searching for, Honda is the brand to trust. Their reputation for reli- ability doesn't falter when it comes to the Honda Pilot. The Pilot has a solid construction as well as abun- dant cargo space. Tire-pressure monitors, as well as an available navigation system, make the Pilot great for drivers who travel long distances. These are just a few of the hottest tKST and SUVs on the market right now. Each one has features that appeal to some more than others.

Located at 214 East Fifth St it is in the heart of the downtown area. Offering a variety of fresh and fast healthy choices. The Pita Pit adds a new spin to most of the greasy spoons that you'll find downtown. From the street, the restau- rant looks like a typical fast food joint, minus the drive-thru. There are Pita Pit trademark char- acters painted on the windows that tell you you're about to enter fun-land instead of a restaurant. The walls inside are colorfully painted with similar cartoonish Pita Pit characters - there's even a pita driving a car. Aside from the youthful decor, the signage is a little less than impressive as well. It seems that the Pita Pit coordinators are all about simplicity. The menu is plain and with little choice. The to-go menu pamphlet looks as though someone designed it using a basic publishing program on their home computer, which does not profit the restaurant's professional appeal. The choices the menu offers are limited to salads, pitas and smoothies. Essentially, you can put together any kind of pita you like from the meat, veggies, cheese and sauce lists. For meat lovers, there are several choices of non-veggie pitas, like grilled chicken, Philly steak, gyros, tuna, seafood, turkey and ham. The Pita Pit has a fair selection of fresh vegetables and vegetable spreads, which range from Baba- goush, an eggplant spread, to hummus, a chick pea spread. The smoothie selection is rather bleak, as only four different flavors are offered on the menu. Nutrition is a large contribut- ing factor to The Pita Pit promise - "Fresh Thinking, Healthy Eating PitaPit.com offers a nutrition scale. Click your choices from the menu and the scale will give you a total for calories, fat, protein, fiber, carbohydrates, sodium and cholesterol. The pita alone has only 260 calories and 0.4 grams of fat. Of course, the veggie pitas are generally going to have the least amount of fat. For example, a veggie pita with lettuce, tomato, green peppers, alfalfa sprouts, mushrooms, black olives and Babagoush spread has only four grams of fat. However, meat lovers can have an enjoy- able pita for less than 10 grams of fat. And a seafood pita with just lettuce and tomato has only two grams of fat - that's impressive. It all depends on what you put on your pita. A pita alone will fill you up, and it's not going to cost you an arm and a leg either. Pita prices range from $4.95 - $5.75 plus any extras, like bacon, cheese and meat. For a pita and a drink, it will run around seven bucks. The Pita Pit is a little more expen- sive than a fast food restaurant like McDonald's, but your health is worth the extra cost. This writer can be contacted at (eatures@theeas tcarolinian. com. ?

Their secret is staying out of the public eye as much as possible. Although both have had previous marriages, I can't imagine them being with anyone but each other. These two are crazy about one another. Kate Hudson and hubby Chris Robinson have been married for almost six years now, which is like a lifetime in Hollywood. The pair has already begun to build a family with their son Ryder Russell. After Hilary Swank won her second Academy Award for Million Dollar Baby, she solidi- fied her place in Hollywood as a talented leading lady. One of the things everyone remembers most from her speech is how fondly she spoke of her husband, Chad Lowe. The pair has been married for eight years with no end in sight. Who knows what the future holds for Hollywood couples? However, it's certain that some pairs will unite in marriage while others are destined for heartache.

The injury Isn't as severe as It initially appeared to be - Immediately after the game, coach Bill Cowher said "It looked bad Roethllsberger, 16-1 as an NFL regular-season starter, was Injured with 1:05 remaining when Chargers defensive end Luis Castillo's helmet collided with his left knee as Roethlisberger was completing a 9-yard pass to Antwaan Randle El. Roethlisberger lay In pain on the turf for several minutes, clutching at his knee, before limping off the field. He was removed from the field on a cart, his knee heavily wrapped, after Jeff Reed kicked a 40-yard field goal with six seconds remaining, but he had no bandage on the knee when he got dressed shortly after that. Roethlisberger had an MRI test shortly after the team returned to Pittsburgh on Tuesday morning. Roethlisberger was the NFLs offensive rookie of the year last season after going 130 on a team that went a franchise- record 15-1 before ultimately losing to New England 41-27 in the AFC Championship Game. He was off to an excellent start this season, completing 52 of 86 passes for 913 yards, seven touchdowns and no interceptions. His quarterback rating of 123.8 Is the best in the league. Backup Tommy Maddox sat out the San Diego game with a calf injury, but also could be available Sunday. Cowher said his Injury also wasn't as bad as initially thought. If neither Roethllsberger nor Maddox can play, the Steelers would turn to 30-year-old Charlie Batch, the Lions' starter from 1998 until late in the 2001 season who has played little since signing with his hometown Steelers before the 2002 season. Patterson expected to miss game after surgery Wake Forest cornerback Kevin Patterson Is expected to miss Saturday's game at No. 14 Boston College after undergoing surgery Tuesday to treat abdominal pain, the school said. Patterson was admitted to a hospital Monday night and may have his appendix removed, coach Jim Grobe said. Football trainer Don Steelman later said doctors had taken Patterson in for surgery Tuesday, but it was unclear what procedure would be performed. Steelman was also unsure how long Patterson would be out. Patterson had a similar episode this summer, when hospital doctors believed he had appendicitis. He was released without further treatment after the pain subsided. Patterson has started all six games for the Demon Deacons (2-4, 1-2 Atlantic Coast Conference). Riley Swanson, who played In all 23 games the past two seasons, will probably replace Patterson. Swanson has a forced fumble and a pass breakup this season after being suspended for the opener for breaking a team rule. Pirates move quickly to grab former Dodgers manager Tracy Former Los Angeles Dodgers manager Jim Tracy was hired Tuesday as the Pittsburgh Pirates' manager, the Associated Press learned from a source close to the team who requested anonymity. Tracy, 49, was the front-runner from the start of the Pirates' search last week because of his long-standing ties to Pirates general manager Dave Littlefield, with whom he worked in the Montreal Expos' organization In the 1990s. Tracy beat out the only two known candidates for the job, former Oakland Athletics manager Ken Macha and Atlanta Braves coach Fredi Gonzalez. Tracy replaces Lloyd McClendon, who was fired on Sept. 6 during his fifth consecutive losing season and was replaced for the rest of the season by bench coach Pete Mackanln, who was not considered for the job on a permanent basis. Tracy managed the Dodgers from 2001 until the Injury-riddled team finished 71-91 this season. The record was their second-worst since they moved from Brooklyn In 1958. He finished with a 427-383 record, guided Los Angeles last year to its first division championship since 1995, and had only one losing season in five, but resigned last week after a falling out with general manager Paul DePodesta. With the Pirates, Tracy takes over a team coming off 13 consecutive losing seasons, three short of the major league record, and a 67-95 record but one that broke In a half-dozen promising rookies during the second half of this season, including left-handed starters Zach Duke (8-2,1.81 ERA) and Paul Maholm (3-1,2.18 ERA). Mazey dismissed, Holland not elaborating on details Holland answers questions from the general media Tuesday morning after the press conference. Mazey was suspended on Holland's recommendation. Mazey marks third coach ousted under Holland ERIC GILMORE SENIOR WRITER ECU officials suspended Randy Mazey with continued pay from his job as head base- ball coach on Monday after- noon effective immediately. Newly hired assistant coach Billy Godwin was formally introduced as acting head baseball coach during a press conference Tuesday. According a release, Chan- cellor Steve Ballard made the decision upon Terry Holland's recommendation. "These decisions are never easy Ballard said. "But 1 have complete confi- dence in Terry Holland's assess- ment of the situation Mazey signed a contract extension on August 9,2004 with current associate athletic direc- tor Nick Floyd. Mazey's contract had a base salary of $100,000 annually through June 30, 2008. Mazey's contract called for him to receive a $5,000 bonus if ECU advanced to a NCAA Regional or won the Conference USA's regu- lar season title or the conference tournament. According to Mazey's signed contract, if ECU terminated the contract for cause, Mazey would be given 30 days notice and only be entitled to the amount of his salary upon his effective date of termination. ECU officials declined to comment further on the situa- tion due to NC statutes. Officials continued to refer to the State Personnel Act, which protects the rights of state employee's private records. Kitty Wetherington, the interim university attorney declined to comment, wary of committing a misdemeanor by violating the State Personnel Act. University spokesman John Durham also declined further comments. ECU is currently paying seven former coaches no longer affiliated with ECU. Former head football coach Steve Logan has been paid $200,000 annually since Dec. 2002. His settlement will have been fulfilled in Dec. 2005. John Thompson will be paid $100,000 through Dec. 2007. Former basketball coach Bill Herrion is due $100,000 through March 2008. No settlement between Mazey and the athletic program has been made public. Depending on the reason Mazey was suspended, the termination clause may forgo a possible settlement. According to Holland, money to pay former coaches comes out of the athletic budget. Mazey met with the baseball team on Monday afternoon to let know he would no longer be their coach. "Shock is the only word to describe it said senior pitcher Carter Harrell.

Godwin abruptly replaces Randy Mazey who has been suspended with pay by the university. "I have every confidence that we have the right man at the right time and in the right place said Holland. "He will absolutely build a program that is built on trust and mutual respect that all of us can be proud of Godwin was hired away from Louisburg College to be the pitching coach by former coach Randy Mazey on June 9, 2005. Godwin is now thrust into head- ing a program that he has been affiliated with for only four months. "I am very proud to be an ECU Pirate said Godwin. "I look forward to keeping the tradition of this strong program heading in the right direction. I'm excited about this opportu- nity and will work relentlessly to make the Pirate Nation proud Godwin was made aware of Mazey's suspension late Monday afternoon. Mazey briefly met the team to explain the situa- tion. Later, Godwin conducted a meeting of his own. The team conducted a workout Tuesday for the first time under Godwin. At Louisburg, Godwin col- lected a 262-85 (.755) overall record.

A select few teams have a shot at the Trojans JEFF FELTON STAFF WRITER With their 42-21 win over the Arizona Wildcats Saturday, the University of Southern California Trojans extended their winning streak to 27 games. There is only one word to describe this team - dominant. I'll tell you what, this USC team I think could beat the pathetic San Francisco 49ers of the NFL. I know that's hard to believe but come on! USC's offense is unstoppable, led by QB Matt Leinart and running backs Reggie Bush and Lendale White, the Trojans put up 724 yards of total offense against Arizona Saturday - 724.

Godwin took the helm at Louisburg College in the fall of 1999 for legendary coach Russ Frazier. Godwin kept the Hurricanes in the national spot- light, where they averaged 13 wins a season. During the 2002 season, the Hurricanes finished 51-11 (a school record for wins) and made their tent trip to the College Worlds Series in Grand Junction, Colorado, finishing sixth in the country. In Decem- ber of 2002, he was selected North Carolina College Coach of the Year. "I think (Frazier's) shoes were 19 and a half so I'm used to stepping in with some pressure Godwin said about taking over for Mazey. "That doesn't bother me at all Holland indicated in his release on Monday that ECU would conduct a national search at the end of the 2006 season. There is no indication that Godwin is secured the job past 2006. "I'm assuming if I do a good job, I should get an opportunity Godwin said. "I think Coach Holland would take my resume. The only jobs I've ever had are year- to-year contracts Godwin pitched at what is now Barton College. During his career, he won 19 games while helping the Bulldogs to two 26 regular season crowns. Godwin spent two seasons as an assistant North Carolina Wes- leyan College. Prior to taking the Louisburg job, Godwin served as athletic director and head baseball coach at Enfield Acad- emy and Cary Academy, both high schools. "He knows what he's talking about said senior pitcher Brody Taylor. "He's not going to let this opportunity slip out of his hands. He's going to do whatever it takes to get us to our goal Taylor is one of four players that played for Godwin while at Louisburg. Pitchers Carter Harrell and Jeff Ostrander and catcher Adam Hodges also transferred from Louisburg. "He's a hard nosed coach said Harrell. "If you drive by the office, he'll be there at 7 a.m. and he'll be the last one to leave. Our players will feed off of that. He's a great fit for East Carolina baseball Godwin earned his master's degree from ECU in education in 1995. He is married to a school teacher in Rocky Mount and has one daughter (Mallory).

(AP) � Tickets are being hawked for more than $2,500, some hotels are charging $1,000 for the weekend, requests for media credentials have come from overseas and ESPN is send- ing its "College GameDay" crew in a day early. Oh, and a Friday night pep rally could draw as many as 50,000 fans. Other than that, it will be a normal football weekend at Notre Dame, where anticipation for Saturday's game against No. 1 Southern California is already somewhere between through the roof and off the charts. "I said to somebody. 'We have to pace ourselves. We can't get worn out early in the week,1" said Greg Ayers, executive direc- tor of the South BendMishawaka Convention and Visitors Bureau. "The eyes of college foot- ball will be on South Bend this weekend and it will be a terrific atmosphere An atmosphere that will gain intensity as the 2:30 p.m. kickoff approaches. At stake is USC's 27-game winning streak, which includes three victories over Notre Dame. FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS Notre Dame normally holds its Friday night pep rally at the Joyce Center, which seats about 11,500. It's also where a team from California saw its monu- mental winning streak come to an end. That was UCLA basket- ball, the year was 1974 and the streak was 88 games. Friday's pep rally will take place at Notre Dame Stadium, weather permitting. After hearing that some 5,000 fans were turned away from Notre Dame's pep rally before the Sept. 17 Michigan State game, coach Charlie Weis suggested they take the show outside. "We felt the best thing for the fans was to give them an opportunity to be a part of the experience he said. This would mark the fourth pep rally held at the stadium and the first since 2000, on the eve of the Nebraska game. "I know one thing Weis said. "I am not going to emcee this one because I am 0-1 when I have emceed. I have a plan for this one, as you would expect I would WHO'S SELLING TWO? USC sports information director Tim Tessalone has no access to tickets for road games. And that's probably the good news. It means he doesn't have to sort through the numer- ous requests. "The Notre Dame game is a tough ticket every year he said. "This is a pilgrimage game Major university donors get first crack at USC's ticket allot- ment of 7,000. If tickets get returned, Notre Dame would sell them. "But that's pretty unlikely said Josh Berlo, Notre Dame's top ticket officer. Scalping tickets in Indiana is legal as long as the transaction takes place off campus grounds, according to Ayers. On StubHub.com, $450 will get you an upper level end- zone seat and $2,775 will land you a prime seat in Section 9. (The range for tickets to Tues- day's White Sox game is $210 to $2,332.) But Berlo said his office has revoked "thousands of tick- ets from hundreds of people" who have resold their tickets for a profit. "Be careful who you give them to he warned. MEDIA DARLINGS The last time Notre Dame hosted a game of this magnitude, NBC Sports spent $60,000 to bring in temporary lighting and ESPN, for the first time, sent its "College GameDay" crew on loca- tion to South Bend. That was Nov. 13, 1993, and the event was the "Game of the Century pitting No. 1 Florida State against the second- ranked Irish.

NBC is anticipating an aerial show, so the extra cam- eras will isolate battles between receivers and defensive backs. ESPN, meanwhile, will dis- patch "GameDay" commentators Chris Fowler and Lee Corso to South Bend on Thursday for a "SportsCenter" segment. ESPN2's "Cold Pizza" will originate from an area between the stadium and the Hesburgh Library on Friday. "It's always our goal to be right in the center of the activ- ity ESPN spokesman Josh Krule- witz said. "Getting there Thurs- day gives us a chance to rev it up a little early As for media requests, Notre Dame has received one from a British publication. That might seem fishy con- sidering the sport will be the American version of football, but senior associate athletic director John Heisler was not taken aback. "When you play a Big Ten team, there's a Japanese publication that routinely makes a request Heisler said. "I've checked out their Web site. I can't read it, but they're defi- nitely covering these games Heisler expects all 330 seats in the main press box to be claimed. Additional work sta- tions might be created by bring- ing in bar stools. "These are nice problems to have; that's how we look at it Heisler said. THEY'LL LEAVE THE LIGHTS ON FOR YOU St. Joseph County has added 1,500 hotel rooms since Notre Dame Stadium expanded before the 1997 season, bringing the total to 4,000. But, of course, this isn't nearly enough to accommodate every- one. Ayers said the rooms sold out about a month ago. And every one requires a two-night stay, including the South Bend Marriott, which is fetching $499 per night. "It's similar to a Super Bowl or an Olympics, where the rates go much higher Ayers said. According to a 2002 study conducted by Notre Dame, an average football weekend generates $6.3 million for South Bend-area businesses. USu from page A7 yet. Media prognosticators have pretty much given it to them, but as ESPN's College Game- day Lee Corso says, "Not so fast my friend I will tell you why. For starters, USC's defense has looked very shaky against subpar Pac-10 teams. Against Arizona State last week, the Trojan defense gave up 415 total yards. Granted, ASU has a good offense, but USC is the defend- ing national champ and is a lock to be at the Rose Bowl again this year. Saturday the Trojan defense gave up only 245 total yards, but the game was back and forth in the fourth quar- ter until Leinart remembered who he was and who he was playing. The defense is not the only reason why we shouldn't be handing them the crystal football just yet. There are a few teams in my opinion that can beat them either during the regular season or in the championship game (that is if USC gets there). USC takes on the Fightin' Irish of Notre Dame this upcom- ing Saturday, in what could possibly be the Trojans first loss of the season. Notre Dame under former Patriots offensive coordinator Charlie Weiss, is one of the top offenses in the country. Yeah, their defense is not all that, but the Irish will put up some big numbers and points against USC Saturday. Plus they have had two weeks to prepare for the Trojans and the game is at Notre Dame. Texas is another team that can beat the Trojans. The two do not play in the regular season, but if USC runs the table, as does Texas, you can bet they will meet in the national championship game. Texas finally beat Oklahoma in the Red River Shootout this past Satur- day, and their schedule sets them up for an undefeated season. The Longhorn's QB Vince Young, who is a Heisman Trophy can- didate, could possibly run and pass all over the USC defense. Texas' running game is also stout, led by Freshman Jamaal Charles and Vince Young. If the Longhorn's defense can stop the Trojans offense, a Texas national champi- onship is quite possible. The Virginia Tech Hokies, currently third in the country, could also pull the upset. But Head Coach Frank Beamer has had a habit recently of losing the big game, a-la Miami. That big game should be at the end of the season against Florida State in the ACC championship game. The Hokies still may not get to the BCS championship game though. Their schedule includes a tough Boston College team and Miami. If they do run the table, they still more than likely will have to play Florida State for the confer- ence championship. The Hokies perennialy play excellent special teams, aka Beamer Ball. Their defense is one of the most domi- nant in the country this year with two shutouts in six games so far. Oh yeah, they also have some guy named Michael Vick's brother Marcus at QB. The Hokies offense is also rolling, scoring 236 points against 54 points given up. Look out for the Hokies. Finally, the Florida State Seminoles also have a sporting chance at making it the National Championship game. The Semi- noles schedule sets up favorably for an appearance in the ACC championship game and with a win there, you have to put them in the mix to play in the Rose Bowl. With stout defense and a surprisingly good offense led by a freshman QB and WR's, the 'Noles definitely have a chance of beating the USC Trojans. By the way, FSU has a coach named Bobby Bowden, maybe you've heard of him - he already has two national championships under his belt so he knows how to win the big game. Be that as it may, once again we will probably have another BCS mess with rankings, com- puters, human error, etc. After what, eight years, the BCS still does not work and still does not satisfy every team. There is another chance that there could be four or five undefeated teams this year, which could make things pretty darn inter- esting for those BCS morons. Regardless, USC, look out. You haven't won anything yet. Last year was last year. This writer can be contacted at sports@theeastcarolinian. com. Practice Test!
