3-01-06 i www.theeastcarolinian.com THE EAST CAROLINIAN Volume 81 Numder 54 THURSDAY March 2, 2006 SGA rewrites constitution SGA President M. Cole Jones spoke at a recent meeting about the constitution, which is almost complete. All students will be SGA members under the new document KIMBERLY BELLAMY STAFF WRITER After many years of not being modified - since the very first writing, actually - the SGA administration is in its last stages of making history by redoing the constitution, which included many complex rules and difficult language to interpret. M. Cole Jones, SGA Presi- dent, said, "The constitution was misused and abused for personal gain and other alterna- tive motives besides serving the students "It was very visible, being the detailed document it was. It was filled with many loopholes and' complicated language. It was really time for a change and to basically give it a whole new face lift According to Jones, the last two SGA administrations attempted to revise the consti- tution, but were unsuccessful. Jones said that his administration decided to make this a platform goal of theirs and that they were determined to accomplish it. To make initial changes to the constitution, a 20 percent vote was needed, but the largest percentage of votes obtained was about 16 percent. The process of reconstruct- ing the constitution began this summer during the summer senate that consisted of mainly the executive board. The executive board includes the president, vice president, secretary and treasurer. The student involvement for the changes basically consisted of these executive members and grew as the year progressed. Some of the key players in the process were M. Cole Jones, Dustin Pittman, Ben Wyche, Terry Gore, Ping Li, Charles Owens, Michaelino Antahades, Ryan Wiggins, Abey Dessie, Nadia Payne and Terry Holloman. The previous rules in the con- stitution didn't leave much room for SGA to treat all organizations equally as far as funding and other issues are concerned. Ben Wyche, speaker of the senate, said that he got the chance to look over the con- stitution about two years ago and after noticing injustices that the document included felt it was time for a change. Wyche said, "There were several issues that were in con- s tradiction to supreme ruling and 1 state legislation, mainly how we c funded organizations that were of rs religious or political orientation The only revisions made to the document over the school's S history were minor changes made when men began to enroll at the school. The past constitution wasn't a direct reflection of all the students, according to Jones. Dr. Gary Moore, vice chancel- lor of student life, and Mary Lu Anta also played a big role in giving SGA the permission and fund- ing to get the revisions started. The SGA was able to make some drastic changes that will ensure equality and impact all students positively. Altering the language of the constitution was an important change that will ensure that the average college student will be able to understand it. see SGA page A2 Students are encouraged to attend the second open discussion. Fifth Street may soon become MLK, Jr. Street Open discussion on street renaming was held Monday CLAIRE MURPHY ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR An open discussion on renaming the entirety of Fifth Street after Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was held in Willis audi- torium Monday. The topic has been a sensitive one for a long time, and many citizens are happy that something is finally being done. The evening opened with a brief history on the street's name based on city record. On April 11, 1989, a letter was sent requesting Memorial Drive be renamed after MLK. It, of course, remained named for war veterans. Many other roads were con- sidered, and on Oct. 12, 1990, zoning commissions held a vote for the change of West Fifth Street. January 1999 was the date of the official name change that still exists now. The current debate is having all of Fifth Street named after Dr. King instead of just half. To most Greenville natives, keep- ing half is just degrading and offensive. Sure, there is history- people carry with them from Fifth Street and it will be a pain for those residents to change addresses, but there is more his- tory in this town of diversity and segregation that affects people of all races on every street in town. This is the history that needs to be symbolized by our admira- tion for Dr. King for the younger generations, students and aging natives alike. Dr. Derek H. Alderman, asso- ciate professor of geography, is a very active participant in Martin Luther King, Jr. research. He has see MLK page A2 'Give to the Troops' supplies peace of mind Donations for troops are welcomed by the Gamma Beta Chi Society. Gamma Beta Chi steps up to assist deployed soldiers CLAYTON BAUMAN STAFF WRITER The Gamma Beta Chi Society has been actively involved in a program geared toward sending care packages to troops deployed overseas in places such as Iraq and Afghanistan. The society adopts different organizations. This semester, "Give to the Troops" was the program of choice. The society is accepting a fi wide range of items to be sent 9 overseas and anyone is welcome p and encouraged to donate. I "A big part of what we're S trying to do is to provide oppor- tunities that 'Give to the Troops' can't meet. For example, they'll make a request of what they would like Give to the Troops to send to them in their care pack- ages said Debranetta Gethers, junior and president of Gamma Beta Phi. "And sometimes troops request items that they don't have in stock or they haven't had donate and 'Give to the Troops' can't financially go out and purchase for them, so we want to be there to meet that need as well Give to the Troops' is a nation-wide organization. There is one in each state and it just so happens that 'Give to the Troops' in North Carolina is in Greenville said Stacey Jones, service chairperson for Gamma Beta Phi. "They take donations and they package them up and send them overseas to places like Iraq and Afghanistan and anywhere else we have troops said Brandon Brake, junior and vice president. The society also sends out vol- unteers to work at the "Give to the Troops" location in Greenville. Three to four volunteers go every day to the center when it is open, and take care of packaging. "We pack enough for eight to 12 people in the unit to hand out Jones said. "We put cards in there, we put food in there, little goodies, books, things of that nature along with daily basic things The program started at the beginning of February. In the past Gamma Beta Chi has worked with the Ronald McDonald House, as well as col- lected money for children who are affected with aids. "It's gone pretty well, but they still need more Brake said regarding the organization's cur- rent success. "I think a lot of people will be interested in it, they just don't know about it, so we just want to get that name out there and get them out Gamma Beta Chi is currently putting together plans to accept items in Wright Plaza, as well as collaborate with the society at Pitt Community College. There is no tentative date set yet. The society learned about the "Give to the Troops" program through the advising center. Gamma Beta Chi is a national honor and service organization. Potential members must hold a 3.25 GPA or be in the top IS percent of their class. For those interested in donat- ing, "Give to the Troops" is located at 3109 Landmark Street across from Wal-Mart.

Taking new steps toward reducing smoking Student Union lays down the cards Grant helps initiate programs to stop smoking KIMBERLY BELLAMY STAFF WRITER The N.C. Health and Well- ness Trust Fund (HWTF) awarded ECU $80,000 Feb. 9 to decrease the number of smokers between the ages of 18 and 24. Faculty members involved in implementing programs that will help reduce college- aged smokers include Georgia Childs, Dr. David White, Karen Warren and Dr. Craig Becker. White and Warren will be the principle investigators examining how smoking can be reduced, and Becker will act as the lead evaluator who will see that the programs are going as planned and are fulfilling the objectives they have to reduce the number of college smokers. The expertise of Family Medi- cine and Pediatrics will provide assistance with these programs. Also involved in this proj- ect are the Department of Health Education and Promo- tion and the Healthy Pirates. The Healthy Pirates will deliver smoking cessation classes. With the help of several groups, the Healthy Pirates will have a media campaign to promote students not to start smoking or to stop. The grant will allow the individuals involved in this grant to start mandatory tobacco prevention education in the required Health 1000 courses and develop and enforce a campus smoking policy. "We are very excited for the opportunity to enhance the health and well-being of our students said Childs. The grant will last until December 2007, but efforts to reduce smoking and prevention will continue. "The modules for the Health 1000 classes will still be in place when the grant money runs out Childs said According to the Center for Disease Control, the age group of 18-24-year-olds is the only age group that has nationally rising smoking rates instead of falling ones. Childs said that she feels that social habits and stress may cause the large number of smokers seen within this age group. "A majority of 18-24-year- olds are in college or may have stressful jobs. They may start smoking as a means of relieving stress Childs said. "Smoking may be a social thing where they smoke at parties, in the club or outside on campus for a chance to meet people The grant will also allow them a chance to create an area where smokers can go to smoke without affecting the air and breathing of non-smokers. "There are often people stand- ing outside near the entrances of buildings smoking. This affects others who have to travel through the smoke to get in the buildings Childs said. Environmentally, smoking Is a problem at ECU mainly because of students and staff throwing their cigarette butts on the ground. ECU's grant is one of the first state funded grants to promote prevention and reduction of tobacco use among college-aged youth. Over the past two years, $1.6 million was awarded to 20 universities, community col- leges, health departments and organizations in North Carolina by HWTF. Students who would like to quit now have the option of calling the HWTF-funded N.C. Tobacco Use Quitline at 1-800- QUIT-NOW. This writer can be contacted at news@theeastcarolinian. com. Students can expect to see many more events like Casino Night from Student Union in the future. Student Union provides fun night for all CLAIRE MURPHY ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR The ECU Student Union put on a Casino night of free bil- liards, bowling, food and games Wednesday evening to show students their appreciation for all they do to support the school. The fun and games were also a recruitment opportunity to show students what the Stu- dent Union does and how to get involved. They are responsible for organizing all of the fun events and activities for the student body such as open mic nights, films, educational lectures, dance competitions, comedians and a variety of live music. Everyone present had the chance to win an iPod shuffle, a digital camera, a portable DVD player and tons of ECU memo- rabilia.

(AP) - More people who have already had a career are becoming full-time firefighters, fire officials say. The Fayetteville Fire Department does not keep statistics about how many people are switching careers or about what jobs they've had, but officials say, since Sept. 11,2001, the trend is apparent. Some were soldiers and airmen, others stay-at-home moms and contractors. Many made more money than they do as firefighters, but it's not about the size of the paycheck. For some, it's about the hours. Fayetteville firefighters work 10 shifts a month at 24 hours per shift, leaving about 20 free days for family, hobbies or even another job. For others, Ifs about the rush of adrenaline when entering a burning building. Mostly, they want to feel as if they've made Fayetteville a better place to live. Almost half of these current trainees had other careers before becoming firefighters. The exercise is designed to simulate the type of smoky, fiery building the recruits could see as firefighters. Lewis, at 44, is one of the older people In this class. Teen Smoking RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - More teenagers in the nation's top-producing tobacco state are avoiding cigarettes, chew and other leaf products that once dominated North Carolina's economic engine, according to a survey released Tuesday. About 25 percent fewer high school students and 40 percent fewer middle-schoolers reported smoking between 2003 and 2005, according to the biennial Youth Tobacco Survey. The drop represents 27,000 fewer teens that reported smoking during the two-year period. The kids from the ground up really do precipitate the buzz that it's no longer cool to smoke, and because of that, their parents jump on said Lt. Gov. Bev Perdue, chairwoman of the N.C. Health and Wellness Trust Fund. The fund uses money from the state's master settlement with tobacco companies to improve the health of North Carolinians. National Major Bush ally visits Washington WASHINGTON (AP) - Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, facing a tough election to stay in power, got a boost Tuesday from his ally President Bush, who effusively praised Berlusconi as a strong leader who has "brought stability to the Italian government Berlusconi had breakfast with Bush, followed by formal talks. "He's a man of his word Bush said of Berlusconi as they sat side by side in the Oval Office. "Obviously, it's important for an American president to be able to work with somebody in a consistent manner and I appreciate the stability the prime minister has brought to our close ally and friend Asked whether the friendly U.S Italian relations would continue if Berlusconi's opponent won, Bush hastened to say that he was keeping his distance from Italian politics. Italy initially was among the most important U.S. allies in the Iraq war, having provided 3,000 troops to the effort in 2003 after U.Sled invaders had brought down President Saddam Hussein's government. Italy now has 2,600 troops in country and is in the process of removing them all by the end of the year. The Italian economy is foundering MLK from page A1 many works published on this subject and is very informed on all aspects of street naming. He has given many talks on naming streets after MLK, but this was his first time speaking about it to his own town. The purpose of his speech was to show how prevalent street naming is and how culturally important as well. "There are over 730 U.S. cities named after King, and this number is very conservative said Dr. Alderman. There have been recorded marches and much controversy over the years throughout the country on this topic. On average, 19 streets per year are named after him since his assassination. There is even a side street in Italy named after the honorable Dr. King making it even more shameful, in some opinions, to not give a man who inspired an entire nation an entire road in his memory. There was also a lot of help and guidelines provided by VISIONS here in Greenville at the discussion. They are a non-profit education organization in close connection with ECU. They are mainly based on cultural, racial and sexual equality. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was about integration and unity. It was strongly implied at the dis- cussion that naming half of the street after him (that half being on what is classified as the "poor" side) symbolizes diversity and seg- regation on its own. The citizens here are looking for a metaphori- cal bridge to connect all com- munities and ethnicities and rid them of the lingering prejudices. All are welcome to attend the next discussion March 27 at 7 p.m. at the Eppes Recre- ation Center at 400 Nash St. here in Greenville. Student voices are greatly appreciated.

SGA from page A1 Changes were also made to provide the constitution with more concrete rules to ensure that SGA will function more smoothly in their business decisions. The administration decided to change the title of senate to congress and representatives to day senators. Clearer job descriptions were created for the executive board members as well. Other technical things were revised such as an increase in the executive board's salary, the com- bining of all the branches, the structure of the body of articles, the impeachment process, checks and balances along with many other things. One of the main goals of the new constitution is to serve the students in the best way pos- sible. Jones said that he would like the student body to know that every student is a member of SGA under the new constitution and everyone is free to express concerns and opinions. Ryan Wiggins, screening and appointment chair who became active in the changes later in the semester, said that recently the administration have been working well over 50 hours a week making changes iq the document. In order to approve the consti- tution, three reading must occur and ratification of the revised document. The third reading of the constitution occurred on February 20. Approval from Dr. Moore and Corey King, assistant vice chancellor of student experi- ences, are the final steps in this historic event for SGA and the university. Once the constitution is approved, no other major changes will be able to take place until 2010. The constitution will be avail- able for the students to view via the Internet on the SGA Web site, according to Wiggins. This is one of the many achievements the SGA adminis- tration has been able to accom- plish. This administration has been able to help many orga- nizations, the community and have more things in store for this year. Jones said, "We want students to know that this administration is ran by the students and for the students This writer can be contacted at news@theeastcarolinian.com. and Berlusconi's support for the war in Iraq has been deeply unpopular in Italy. Berlusconi has expressed confidence repeatedly that he would win re-election, and recent opinion polls show him narrowing Prodi's lead. Marketing for CIAA CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - It may seem incongruous that for 14 years, the CIAA basketball tournament and its related events have been overseen by a management company founded by a former NASCAR marketer in the posh suburb of Cornelius. But Tom Grabowski, president and CEO of Urban Sports & Entertainment Group, said the pairing of his background in NASCAR television production with events involving historically black colleges and universities isnt as odd as it might seem. The sponsors, the companies out there like Bank of America and others, definitely seem to want to work with what we call boutique agencies - the smaller, more focused agencies international Prosecutors snow execution Saddam signed order they say BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - Prosecutors presented documents Tuesday they said show Saddam Hussein approved executions of more than 140 Shiites in the 1980s, the most direct evidence yet against the former Iraqi leader in his four-month trial. Among those sentenced to hang was an 11-year-old boy. The most significant document featured a signature said to be Saddam's on a court list of people to be executed, though it was not clear he was aware of their ages. The list on that particular document only had names. About 50 of those sentenced died during interrogation before they could go to the gallows. One man, his brother and two sons were executed by mistake, and Saddam allegedly ordered them declared "martyrs" to cover up the error. When it was discovered that the 11- year-old and nine other juveniles were not executed but were still in prison years later, they were ordered killed and their bodies burled in secret; an order approved with a signature the prosecution said was that of the intelligence agency chief at the time, Barzan Ibrahim, who is Saddam's half brother and a co-defendant in the trial. Deadly Bird Flu BERLIN (AP) - The deadly strain of bird flu has been found in a cat in Germany, officials said Tuesday; the first time the virus has been identified in an animal other than a bird in central Europe. Health officials urged cat owners to keep pets indoors after the dead cat was discovered over the weekend on the Baltic Sea island of Ruegen, where most of the more than 100 wild birds infected by the H5N1 strain have been found. The disease could continue its spread in poultry stocks in Europe and beyond. The risk now is high for everybody said Bernard Vallat, director of the Paris-based World Organization for Animal Health, which hosted the two-day meeting of experts from 50 countries. Authorities in Sweden and Hungary also said they were conducting further tests to confirm whether wild birds that had tested positive for a form of bird flu were infected with the H5N1 strain. Slovenia, as well as the southern German state of Bavaria, both registered new cases of H5N1 in wild fowl. St i 1 Feeling brilliant?

Your mother told you to always say it. By expressing it - or not - you can change a person's mood and percep- tion of you in an instant. Who knew two words could be so powerful? Writing a thank-you letter after an interview doesn't just showcase a candidate's manners - it can also make or break their chances of landing a job. Nearly 15 percent of hiring managers say they would not hire someone who failed to send a thank-you letter after the interview. Thirty- two percent say they would still consider the candidate, but would think less of him or her, according to CareerBuilder.com's recent "How to Get in the Front Door" survey. Although most hiring managers expect to receive a thank-you note, format prefer- ences differ. One-in-four hiring managers prefer to receive a thank-you note in e-mail form only; 19 percent want the e- mail followed up with a hard copy; 21 percent want a typed hard copy only and 23 percent prefer just a handwritten note. No matter which format you choose, it's crucial to act quickly when sending a thank- you letter to your interviewer. Twenty-six percent of hiring managers expect to have the letter in-hand two days after the interview, and 36 percent expect to have it within three to five days. Sending the letter quickly reinforces your enthusiasm for the job, and helps keep you top-of-mind for the interviewer. Survey Methodology The CareerBuilder.com survey, "How to Get in the Front Door was conducted from May 17 to May 27, 2005. Methodology used to collect survey responses totaling more than 650 hiring managers for this study involved selecting a random sample of comScore Networks panel members. These Web Panel members were approached via an e-mail invita- tion, which asked them to par- ticipate in a short online survey. The results of this survey are statistically accurate to within 3.84 percentage points (19 times out of 20). ? Here are some tips to make the most of your thank-you letter: Stick to three paragraphs. In the first paragraph, thank the Interviewer (or the opportunity. Use the second to sell yourself by reminding the hiring manager of your qualifications. In the third paragraph, reiterate your Interest In the position. Fill In the blanks. Thank-you notes are a great way to add In key Information you forgot In the Interview, clarify any points or try to ease any reservations the Interviewer might have expressed. Proofread carefully. Double-check to be sure your note Is free from typos and grammatical errors. Don't rely solely on your spell-checker. Be specific. Don't send out a generic correspondence. Instead, tailor your note to the specific )ob and the relationship you have established with the hiring manager. iPod nano (2GB) CONNECT to our DiningStyles survey tell us how Dining Services meets your needs and enter to WtN! an iPod' nano or an Times gift card Freer ?of cpcoko pcrri? $50 (Times gift card $25 iTunes gift card 'm. i Tell us what you think.

Last week she made a bologna-and-mayonnaise sandwich with a side of cottage cheese for lunch. Sometimes she mixes rice, a chicken breast and a can of French onion soup all together in a casserole dish and bakes it for hours, which makes the whole house smell. She doesn't like most vegetables, and she thinks the food I eat is just as weird. Eating habits and food preferences vary widely from person to person, just like everything else. No one person's habits or preferences are better than another's, as long as they're healthy. Yet we've all judged others' different preferences, often in negative ways. Who hasn't seen someone eating a dish and said "ew, gross at least once? What a person chooses to eat is influ- enced by a number of factors, but it is a personal choice that really only affects that person, just like clothing and hair- style choices, religious affiliation and sexual orientation. So why are we so judgmental? I don't have to like my roommate's food, but I don't have to criticize it either. Personal choices are just that, personal. To assume that some know better than others what to eat, how to dress, where to worship or what to feel, even on the small- est scale, limits our ability to embrace diversity. Everyone is different, and those differ- ences should be used to foster creativity, not conflict. We here at TEC encourage dif- ferences and debate, in food and in life. Pirate Rant Opinion Columnist I'm against drugs for all the wrong reasons Williams and Doherty need to kick the habit. for my sake GARY MCCABE BITTER BOULEVARD Drugs are ruining my life. Now before you begin assem- bling intervention groups across campus for me, let me state that I don't do drugs. 1 can't afford them. And technically, I don't have a life. That's beside the point, though. Drugs are ruin- ing my life, albeit indirectly. Let me give you an abbreviated list of my heroes in life - John Belushi, Brad Nowell of Sublime, Jimi Hendrix, Lenny Bruce, Elvis Presley, Keith Moon, Dana Plato and Marvin Gaye. What do all of these people have in common? They all died because of drugs. Well, except for Marvin Gaye. He died because his dad was a jerk. But I'm not trying to make some noble statement about the dangers of drug use. I'm saying that these people are all selfish and have deprived me of years of entertainment because all the money in the world wasn't enough to keep them happy. If Belushi had thought better of shooting himself up with a combination of heroin and cocaine, maybe Blues Brothers 2000 would have been good. Or if Keith Moon hadn't overdosed, maybe he could have convinced Pete Townshend that giving his credit card number to a child pornography site wasn't the best way to do research for a book. Just think how much better the world would be if these people had lived. Think of all the Nirvana records, River Phoenix movies and "Diff'rent Strokes" reunions we've missed out on. That's why I'm writing this article. I'm writ- ing this article because two of my favorite people at the moment are on the verge of ruining my day and 1 don't want that to happen. If he hasn't already, Ricky Wil- liams is ruining the chances of my beloved Miami Dolphins winning a Super Bowl in the near future. 1 may have mentioned in a previous piece, but let me-reiterate that I'm a die-hard Dolfan. So when the enigmatic Williams was traded to Dolphins dirt-cheap and ended up leading the league in rushing in his first year with the team, I was happier than Pete Townshend when the police believed that he was "doing research The WilliamsDolfans love affair was short-lived, though. Just days prior to training camp for what would have been his third season in Miami, Williams left the team - and then left the country - because he wanted to smoke marijuana freely. The ensu- ing season for the Williams-less Dolphins was awful. And when 1 say awful, I mean awful like John Travolta's hit song "Let Her In Seriously - download it and see what I mean. So after sitting out one season, Williams changed his mind. Maybe he missed the game. Maybe it had something to do with the $8.6 million he owed the Dolphins for breach of contract. Either way, he wanted back in and Miami's new coach Nick Saban facilitated it. I was apprehensive at first, but he won me back by playing his heart out for the remainder of the season following his four-week suspension for three failed drug tests. The Dolphins finished strong and were projected to have a great 2006-07 season. Bringing back Williams was a great move and whether he was traded during the off season or retained for a strong backfield next season, the Dolphins were better of f unless he failed another drug test. But he's a changed man, right? That's impossible. It would never of course, it happened! Now Williams faces a one year suspension from the NFL. It wasn't a new man - just the same crap. This time it killed any shot Miami has at a Super Bowl. Williams' discretions are noth- ing compared to Pete Doherty's though. Pete Doherty isn't exactly a big star in the United States - usually he's just referred to as Kate Moss's crack-addicted ex- boyfriend. That might even be a fair assessment of Doherty if it wasn't for the teensy-weensy fact that he co-founded the greatest band since Nirvana. Of course, most Americans were too busy listening to Nelly to notice. I discovered the Libertines a bit late. By the time I heard their debut album Up the Bracket, origi- nally released in October of 2002, Doherty had already been kicked out of the band three times, once for burglarizing his band mate Carl Barat's house in a crack-induced haze. It was only August 2004 when I heard Up the Bracket, but already the Libertines were no more and Doherty had formed a new band, Babyshambles. It's a shame about Doherty because it's obvious that as a songwriter and as musician, he's an absolute genius. His lyricism is on par with some of the best -Costello, Lennon, Cobain - but his well-documented drug addic- tion will be the death of him. Since Oct. 2, 2005, Doherty has been arrested at least a half dozen times for possession of "class-A" drugs. On Jan. 25 alone, he was arrested three times, although to be fair, one of the arrests was for assaulting a fan at a recent Babyshambles show. On Feb. 8 of this year, some- how Doherty managed to skip out on jail time for all of the arrests and instead was handed a 12-month community order, which stated that Doherty must stay clean for a year and should he fail a mandatory drug test in that period, he could face the jail time he had just avoided, somewhere in the range of five to seven years. Happily, Doherty vowed to kick the habit as he'd just been handed a gift from God. He cleaned himself up, showed up to his concerts on time and things looked good. You'd think he'd finally change his ways, right? Knowing the consequences, he'd never of course, he did! He got picked up on suspicion of stealing a car and possession of "class-A" drugs last Tuesday. By the time he gets out of prison, I'll have moved on from Brit Rock. Hell, I could be past this phase in a month. So because of these selfish millionaires, one which could share his bed again with Kate Moss should he ever clean him- self up, I'm losing out. I'm not the happiest of people. I don't always find a reason to get out of bed in the morning. I don't care if people do drugs. That's their own choice, but the minute it affect me like it has in these two cases, I get angry. I want a Super Bowl championship. I want another Babyshambles record. What are these guys thinking? Do they even consider how their actions are going to affect me? In My Opinion (KRT) Wednesday marks the 45th anniversary of the Peace Corps. And as a recently returning Peace Corps volunteer, I believe we need more organiza- tions like this one. Six months ago, I was board- ing a plane in Turkmenistan, heading home to the United States. 1 had finished two years of work as a Peace Corps volunteer in a tiny village in an unknown corner of the world. I remem- bered the tear-streaked faces of my local friends, the little library we had built and filled with Shel Silverstein and Judy Blume and the essays my students had writ- ten about Rosa Parks and global warming. In the years since its creation in 1961, Peace Corps volunteers have lived all over the world, upholding the three goals of the organization: To teach other countries about America and its customs, to teach Americans about other countries and their customs, and to assist in develop- ing infrastructure in countries that request it. Often with few resources and just a few weeks of training in local languages and culture, Peace Corps volunteers have taught English, established nurs- eries and fisheries, supported local groups and, most impor- tantly, built lasting relationships with host country nationals. Vol- unteers continue this important work today and are establishing peace and friendship in more than 70 countries. President Kennedy created the United States Peace Corps - the first organization of its kind - after he addressed a group of students at the University of Michigan. The students pleaded for an opportunity to serve their country peacefully and to give back to the global community. Kennedy was moved by their determination and hope. Many of us head off to our countries, determined to help people and to transmit our knowledge to those less fortu- nate. What inevitably results is the humbling realization that we don't have all the answers, and that paying attention to what our hosts tell us about their needs, culture and ideas is the real key to building cooperative relation- ships. We learn as much from them as they do from us. Global opinion of the United States is at an all-time low, thanks to the Bush administration's uni- lateralist approach to U.S. foreign policy. Europe is unsupportive, the Middle East is destabilized and quagmires engulf Iraq and Afghanistan. Most nations of the world do not see us as a force for peace, and it is because we do not give them the chance to. Fortunately, when people abroad see Peace Corps volun- teers helping to rebuild their communities and their infra- structure, it creates goodwill between countries and their people. Peace Corps volunteers are far less threatening than uniformed Americans with guns. The United States should Increase the size and funding of the Peace Corps. Instead of shipping out more troops around the world, we should send more Peace Corps volunteers. They may be the best antidote to terrorism and hatred. 1 want a Rosa Parks Road, a Pope John Paul Lane and a Mother Teresa Boulevard. Can we work those into a Greenville map too? The magazine selection at the SRC is horrible. I pay enough money to the school to help support SRC services. I think I deserve something other than Time and Better Homes and Gardens to read! My friend is having a hard time with life lately and wants Xanax to make her feel mellowed out, but what she really needs is Prozac so she'll stop moping around and get on with life already. If ECU wants to gain ranks in the academic world so much, why don't they start by offering a 24-hour campus library? My roommate says that my other roommate and I are heartless because we don't coddle her dog the way she does. I'm sorry, but last time I checked she was not our dog. She should seriously just be glad we let it loose and that we're nice to it at all. So normally I'm a huge fan of the cold weather and snow, but let me tell you - with gas heating, I'm i dying for it to be hot again. I just can't take any ! more high electric bills! Look, if you are writing an e-mail to me about class, first tell me what freaking class you are talk- ing about. Just saying "I missed class on Tuesday. What's due?" does not tell me who you are or what class you're from! The food at West End was so good on Oscar Night. Why can't they cook like that all the time? To the idiots who insist on playing 'music' as loud as possible from their cars driving up and down Campus Hill each day, grow up. Nobody wants to hear your crappy music andor50 sound system you bought at Wal-Mart. What you're doing is commonly referred to as noise pollution. I hope you go deaf. Busch Gardens will always trump Disney World, no matter how cool Space Mountain is. Heck, why stop at renaming Fifth Street. Why not rename the whole school MLK and change our mascot to the soul birds? I'm sorry, but if you're dumb enough to show the world on Facebook or MySpace you did something illegal, you shouldn't complain when the police show up at your door because you posted a picture of you underage with a beer in your hand. Darwinism comes into effect somewhere, and better to learn it in college than in the real world. To the person who wrote the rant about dead bodies still in the streets of New Orleans, please write another rant with the Web address where I can read that article. I don't expect a response, but if it is actually out there, I would love to read it. TEC, how irresponsible of you to put that in the paper. Some people might actually believe this sort of nonsense. Would it be too much to ask the library to update their computer mice to the optical ones? Or even snirtle clean the roller balls? I vote Fifth Street to be renamed to Robert E. Lee Street. OK here's the deal. It's getting hot out now, so show- ering is a must. Please don't come to class smelling like you have been dead for 10 years! Beware of those apartments that advertise free "high speed" wireless Internet. You get what you pay for - nothing! I'm too lazy to get up and rant myself, so my friend is writing this. Why do people open their doors into other people's car? I'm sorry that your car is a piece of crap and you I are jealous of my beautiful car, but that is no reason to cause harm to my car. It's called karma. What goes ; around comes around, and one day I hope you have something beautiful that sonieone destroys. To the girls who walk in groups on the sidewalk I and take up the whole thing, learn some respect ' and give a little space for the one person walking the other way. ! About the article on overrated one-night stands, you shouldn't assume that the guys are using the girls. People (male and female) don't always regret one night stands. Give them an inch and they will take a foot. Yay, we finally have a yearbook again! I've heard that it may be a little more risque than your normal high school yearbook though Based on TC's article, you'd think that the recent Career Fair wasn't a colossal waste of time for 95 percent of all majors. To the car alarm that goes off every hour on College Hill, please stop. It's really annoying to listen to you. Wright Place has a sanitation grade of a "B Men- denhall's Destination 360 has a grade of 90. Please look in to this. This sucks for people with meal plans who have to eat here! I am so sick of people not washing their hands after they get done using the bathroom. There is no reason for me to wash my hands when I am about to grab the same door handle that your nasty hands just contaminated. Bathroom etiquette should have been taught to you a long time ago. The sinks and soap aren't just there for looks. Maybe there would be less crime around campus if I weren't sitting here in Joyner library watching an ECU police officer flirt with a security guard for over an hour. Here's an idea, lets change the name of all Fifth Street and MLK to Malcolm X drive! Can we have less baby mama drama in the SGA please? Beauty is overrated! Anyone can look gorgeous with make-up.

Preview of 'Real World: Key West' The place to be this season SARAH CAMPBELL STAFF WRITER Drama, sex, drinking, lies, fighting and friendship are just a few of the exciting elements that combine to make MTV's pioneering reality show, "The Real World a must-see hour of television that leaves viewers craving more. Fans of the show won't be disappointed with the latest location for the filming of the 17th season, Key West, Fla. For 16 seasons, MTV's "The Real World" has entertained viewers with the concept of "the true story of seven strangers, picked to live in a house and have their lives taped to find out what happens when people stop being polite and start getting real "The Real World: Key West" will offer the roommates some unique challenges. The first of these challenges was battling Mother Nature in the form of three hurricanes - Katrina, Rita and Wilma. However, Mother Nature didn't stand a chance in the wake of their obligation to open and run Mystic Sunless Tanning studio, a first for Key West. However, as is expected in true "Real World" fashion, the roommates managed to cause plenty of trouble when they set out to party the night away on the strip at hot spots such as Fat Tuesday's and Lazy Gecko. "The Real World" isn't all fun and games - it also places focus on issues that are often brushed under the rug by our society. The reality of the show echoes the personal battles that not only each roommate faces, but also we as individuals face in our everyday lives. Since its premiere in 1992, "The Real World" has put a national spotlight on societal issues such as AIDSHIV, sexual orientation, racial tension, eating disorders and alcoholism. This season, two of the roommates will face a battle with anorexia and anger management prob- lems. Whether you've been watch- ing "The Real World" for years, just caught on to the craze or have never seen a single episode, "The Real World: Key West" is sure to quench your appetite for drama. No matter what goes on throughout the season, the diversity of the roommates will definitely play an important role in keeping things real.

The winners of these competitions will be flown to New York City in June 2006 to compete for the title of U.S. Air Guitar Champion. The 2006 U.S. Air Guitar Champion will move on to the Air Guitar World Cham- pionships held every August in Northern Finland. Entering the 11th year of competition, there are official national champion- ships in the United States, Aus- tralia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Finland, France, Germany, Ire- land, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway and the United Arab Emirates. The U.S. Air Guitar Champi- onship commits itself to taking our nation's subversive pastime out of the bedrooms and base- ments of the "musical connois- seurs" and putting them up on stages all over the world. News outlets including NBC, CNN, Newsweek, The New York Times, ABC, MSNBC, Fox News, Los Angeles Times, ESPN, NPR, Salon.com, Variety and the NY Daily News have covered the U.S. Air Guitar Championships. Air guitar champions have made guest appearances on "The Today Show "Late Night with Conan O'Brien the "CBS Early Show "Last Call with Carson Daly "Jimmy Kimmel Live "Howard Stern" and "Fox & Friends see GUITAR page B3 Paul Walker, the lead character in the film, plays Joey Gazelle, an Italian lower-level bagman. Cursing, shooting and 10-year-olds SCOTTY WILLIAMS SENIOR WRITER Shuffling into the theater for a 10 o'clock showing of Running Scared, this reviewer was not exactly excited. A particular pet peeve of mine in movies is when a movie doesn't proclaim what it is in the trailer. The theatrical trailer for this movie was a barrage of bullets flying, people shooting and angry voices with nothing to declare about a plot or a storyline, and I wasn't sure what exactly the title implied. A few minutes into the movie, the subject matter became more clear - once you've seen it, you'll be run- ning scared out of the theater, haunted by the thought that you actually had to give up your money to see it. Paul Walker is the lead in this movie, playing a character named Joey Gazelle. Walker's character is supposed to be Italian (I say "supposed to be" because everyone who was supposed to be Italian in this movie slipped in and out of an Italian accent like a pair of khakis) and working in the mob as a lower-level bagman, essentially. Gazelle's job is to dispose of hot pieces (other- wise known as guns used to kill people) and cover up things. After one especially charged deal goes bad and some cops die, Gazelle has two pieces to hide. Things go especially wrong when a friend of his son's gets the gun and shoots his father. The rest of this 119-minute movie is Gazelle chasing the gun and the little boy through a sea of profan ity, nudity and even child molesters. Movie reviewers need to invent a new phrase to describe the language in this movie. Being a veteran and fan of movies like Fight Club, where every other word is profane, I can honestly say this is the most profane movie I have ever seen. I would tell you the exact number of occurrences of the F-bomb in this movie, but that would mean I have to go back and see it again to count. The potty-mouthed mobsters and Russians in this movie easily topped 100 times. If anything, there were more curse words in this movie than minutes. When characters aren't raining a sea of profanities, they're shooting each other in gratuitous scenes of bloodshed or groping each other's clearly visible private parts. Oh yeah, and two preteen children are main characters starring in the midst of this debauchery. When you can't watch a movie without your conscience and ethos sitting on your head, that says something. If there is one thing viewers should learn about this film, it is that Paul Walker is not fit for a leading role in a movie. After watching The Fast and the Furi- ous and Into the Blue, the public should know this. Walker's character goes off to commit horrible actions, usually with one of the two children in tow, stomps around and cusses at women, children and big hairy men, but apparently has a soft side. We'll contact the FBI to go looking for it. The movie's one selling point was a bevy of special effects and intense camera work, which is slightly impres- sive, but only from the stance of special camera effects work. Hollywood needs to realize that no gun has the firepower to send a person flying 15 feet across a room, no matter how cool it might look. This movie is supposed to have a plot, but nothing is all that discernable in terms of a plot. The action of the movie takes so many turns, you're guessing at the end. The acting in the movie is forgettable, and you can't remember a single interesting piece of acting 15 minutes after you walk out of the movie. The only thing you will remember as you see RUNNING page B3 Heavy Rotation: From inside WZMB Narrowing it down so you don't have to JOHN BOSCO STAFF WRITER It's hard for me to believe, but it's already March. When I started this column in January, it was with the wrap- up of the best records of 2005 that you hadn't heard. I made a point that one of my goals was to expose you to music that you've maybe never heard but probably should give a chance. Well, it's about time I gave my recommendations for some albums released this year that are worth checking out. Lucky for you, they come just in time to enjoy during spring break. Neko Case - Fox Confessor Brings the Flood. Without a doubt, the focus of this album is Case's amazing voice. Her range is somewhere amid the greats like Nancy Sinatra, Patsy Cline and Judy Garland. Her pristine vocal performance fits perfectly with the modern musical arrange- ments on this album. If you are looking for an uncommon sound that doesn't push you away with eccentricity, look no further. I recommend you get two copies, one for you and one to pass on to a friend. The Elected - Sun, Sun, Sun. Rilo Kiley's Blake Sennett takes a break from the poppy sound Rilo fans may be familiar with and moves toward a more singer-songwriter style with his band, The Elected. The maturity and complexity of this album is surprising and enjoyable. I've already written the full review on this one, so it should come as no surprise that it's making the Best-of-2006-So-Far list. NOFX - Never Trust A Hippy EP. If 1 had to admit one guilty pleasure, it would be NOFX. Actually, there's no guilt involved. They are, and always have been, on the cut- W7W1? 915 ting edge of what punk music is and should be - political, gritty, hilarious and creative. They bring some of the most amazing vocal harmonies I've ever heard to a genre that rarely considers them an option. As self-taught musicians, they attack politics and extremist bands like Pro- poghandi with good points and they don't back down. They stand up for their beliefs and should be respected for that. They are the epitome of punk, and Never Trust A Hippy is sure to make religious hypocrites cringe. Rachael Cantu - Run All Night. I admit it, I'm a sucker for Tegan and Sara (you try listen- ing to "Walking with a Ghost" and not hum it all day long). So when I got wind that Tegan was doing vocals on a Rachael Cantu track, I had to give it a listen. Hun All Night may only be eight tracks long, but I'm already a Rachael Cantu fan. Though nothing here steps out of the bounds of anything I've ever heard before, something about the album sticks. Last week it was the station's number one charted album, and that doesn't surprise me one bit. I kl ant - The Black Magic Show. For anyone who might have read the Pitchfork review of Elefant's new album and decided it wouldn't be worth their time, I beg you to think again. While Pitchfork usually gets it right, they were way off with The Black Magic Show. Ele- fant managed to take their sound one step beyond their last release, Sunlight Makes Me Paranoid, with a great-sounding follow-up. Unlike their last album, this collection isn't entirely love songs. Some tracks fall short, but overall, the songs are well- composed and have good hooks. The Strokes -1 list Impres- sions Of Earth. Come on. If you haven't heard about the Strokes by now, you are missing out on a huge chunk of good popular music. Rarely do bands as good as The Strokes get as much airplay as they deserve. Their new album, released in early January, continues their climb to the top of rock music. Personally, it seems to me the feel of this album is less garage- rock than their past releases; The Strokes just seem more aware of themselves as a band. Beth Orton - Comfort of Strangers. Initially, 1 wasn't sure how I felt about this album I popped it in and thought, "Great, another folk singer-songwriter looking for some airplay Luckily, it didn't end there. After giving it a full listen, the melodies on this album stuck with me and her voice did, too. Orton's vocal prowess is shown on Comfort of Strangers - this album has sparse and minimal arrangements, but the beauty in her voice and her knack for melody shines through. Hopefully you found some- thing on this list that you might enjoy. As always, be sure to tune in to WZMB 91.3 as we continue to put the rad back into radio.

From New York to Los Angeles and all the way to north- ern Finland, "Air Guitar Nation" chronicles the rise of the U.S. Air Guitar Championships through the eyes of former world cham- pions, enthusiasts, media and through the personal journeys of our top competitors. "Air Guitar Nation" is directed by Alexandra Lipsitz and produced by Dan Cut- forth and Jane Lipsitz. Cutforth and Lipsitz are also executive pro- ducers of television shows such as NBC's "Last Comic Standing Bravo's "Project Runway" and HBO's "Project Greenlight The competitions will con- sist of two rounds. In the first round, competitors perform to a song of their choice. In round two, the top competitors from round one perform to a sur- prise compulsory song. In each round, contestants perform for one minute to their songs and are then judged on a combina- tion of technical expertise, stage presence and "airness The most important regulation that the contestants must follow is that all guitars have to be invisible. The 2005 U.S. Air Guitar Champion is Fatima "the Rock- ness Monster" Hoang, with the 2004 and 2003 champions being MiRi "Sonyk-Rok" Park and David "C-Diddy" Jung. All three victors possess the technical wizardry, stage presence and the ever-elusive "airness" required to succeed in this competition. Air guitar can be viewed as musical self-expression, a com- petitive sport or a form of perfor- mance art. Whatever the reason, air guitar is so embedded in the fabric of American life that it has become an almost instinctual response. When the right riff is heard in a groovy tune, for many of us, air guitar simply happens. For more information on the U.S. Air Guitar competitions, visit usairguitar.com.

The Pirates' slugger has been red hot as of late. Diamond Bucs to host Stony Brook this weekend Red-hot Smith looking to continue RBI assault BRENT WYNNE SENIOR WRITER After walloping Duke for the second time this season, a 17-4 beat down Tuesday that included catcher Jake Smith going off for a grand slam and six RBI, the Pirates will return to action this weekend when they host 2004 Kinston Regional opponent Stony Brook. Smith, who his hitting .386 with three homers and 20 RBI this season, was named Confer- ence USA's Hitter of the Week for his efforts during last week's games. He batted .444 over a four game stretch, three of which were Pirate victories, and also blasted a home run, two doubles and collected 10 RBI. Smith is proving not only to be one of the elite hitters in the conference, but also one of the most feared arms behind the plate in the nation. Runners have tried 14 times to steal against the senior catcher, and Smith has successfully gunned down eight would-be stealers. That's an alarming success rate of 57 percent, a percentage that most big league catchers can't claim to have. Head Coach Matt Senk and his Stony Brook Seawolves will look to change the luck of Pirate opponents against Smith, as well as try to steal a win or two from the Diamond Bucs in Clark- LeClair Stadium. In their first and only series of the season, the Seawolves traveled to Orlando, Fla. to take on Central Florida. The Golden Knights swept the series 1-0, 8-3 and 5-4 to drop Stony Brook to 0-3 to start the 2006 season. Don't let these three losses fool you. The Seawolves were highly competitive throughout the weekend, with some great pitching and defense. Where Brook failed to capitalize was at the plate, where they managed just 18 hits, an average of six a game, and a team batting aver- age of .182. Isidro Fortuna leads the Sea- wolves at the dish. He leads the team with a .429 average, including two doubles, a triple and a run scored. Freshman Steven Mazzurco is batting .375 with a triple and a RBI. The only other Brook player batting .300 or better is Chris Sipp, with a .300 average and a RBI. Jon Pasieka and Robert Dyer have both chipped in two "BI. The lack of offense has put Stony Brook's pitching staff in a near impossible situation to win games. Kris Bakey started game one for the Seawolves and pitched masterfully for six innings, allowing just three hits and no runs, but Brook's offense put up goose eggs, falling to the Golden Knights 1-0. Bakey got a no decision despite being brilliant. Stony Brook ran out to an early 1-0 lead in game two, before starter Brian Murtagh collapsed in the second, giving up six runs and six hits to allow UCF to seize control of the contest. The bright spot for the rest of the game was the pitching of Mike Errigo. Errigo stopped the bleeding for the most part of his 5.2 innings. He allowed five hits and only one run. Don't be surprised if Head Coach Matt Senk decides to go with Errigo as a starter this weekend against the Pirates. Matt Restivo started and pitched five innings in game three, and had it not been for a fielding error in the fourth inning that allowed UCF to score three unearned runs, he would've shut out the Golden Knights for the five innings he was in. He gave up three hits and struck out three. Bakey, Errigo and Restivo will be the key for the Seawolves' staff if they hope to win a game or games against ECU this weekend. While it's obvious that this isn't the same team that won the American East and gave the Pirates all they could handle in the Kinston Regional in 2004, the philosophy is the same. This team will be scrappy and fight for every run they get or give. Expect some very good pitching and solid defense along with a lot of small ball and manufacturing runs. The Seawolves will come into Greenville focused on leav- ing with wins. Game time Friday is 3 p.m. The Pirates and Seawolves battle again Saturday and Sunday at 1 p.m. This writer can be contacted at sports@theeastcarolinian.com. Skip Holtz spent last spring learning players' names and posi- tions while trying to install his offense. In year two, Holtz plans for things to run much smoother. "We don't have to put the names on their helmets so it's not 'hey 82, come here said Holtz about the differences between last season and this. "We actually know these guys a little bit more now. You're going out there with a much more advanced agenda. Last year, we took almost all spring to put everything in. This year, you can almost roll the balls out there. You can say 'OK, we're going to put in half the offense in day one and half the offense in day two' because they know what to do. We're not going to be teach- ing what to do, we're going to be teaching how to do it All kidding aside, Holtz has plenty of business items to cover during the NCAA sanctioned 15 practices. He and his coaching staff must fill holes on the offen- sive line, at fullback, tight end and linebacker. Holtz must also juggle the newest recruits and nagging injuries while overseeing fierce position battles. Holtz announced an addition to his coaching staff by the hiring Don Yanowsky as tight endsspe- cial teams coach. Yanowsky, who coached at ECU during 2000-01, most recently served on the Duke staff for three years. Yanowsky was the defensive line coach during his previous stint with ECU. He replaces Greg McMahon, who left to become the assistant special teams coach for the New Orleans Saints. Quarterbacks Three-year starter James Pinkney will undergo his first spring practice under Holtz after missing last season with aca- demic trouble. The threesome of sophomore Patrick Pinkney, redshirt freshmen Rob Kass and Brett Clay are in a heated battle for the backup slot. The younger Pinkney will be healthy for the first time in his career while Kass ran the scout team during the fall. Offensive line The offensive line was the largest question mark follow- ing the fall with the loss of three seniors. But according to Holtz and offensive line coach Steve Shankweiler, the staff has already tentatively penciled in four starters. Josh Coffman and Eric Graham will probably man the tackle slots while Matt Butler and Terence Campbett will likely play guard. However, Holtz reiterated that the center position is wide open as former defensive tackle Fred Hicks moves across the ball. Senior Thomas Wingenbach and grayshirt Larry Lease are in contention. Senior Lance Neisz will be held out of contact drills until after spring break while last season's backup center, Drew Sutton, won't make it back until the fall. Redshirt freshman Jonathan Battle and midseason transfer Andrew Farr will add depth. Davon Drew, up to 242 pounds after being moved from quarterback, is the likely starter at tight end. Jay Sonnhal- ter is the only other tight end with game experience because Shawn Levesque decided to forgo his senior season for personal reasons. Running backs Two-year starter Chris John- son will be pushed by sophomore Dominique Lindsey and senior Brandon Fractious. Fractious will look to solve his fumbling stigma while Johnson will try to build momentum from his 684-yard season. Robert Tillman, used as a hybrid running backwide receiver in 2005 remains sus- see SPRING page B5 Poker events: Buddies think they know when to hold 'em Rabin, left, and Beck offer collegiate poker tournaments of Texas Hold-em (KRT) The bond between buddies Craig Rabin and Jason Beck is obvious, particularly in the way they tend to finish the dan- gling end of each other's sentences. The way Beck tells it, he called Rabin as soon as he got the idea in 2004 to start a business that would host free college poker tournaments at which students would compete for scholarships. It didn't matter that the pair was separated by more than a thousand miles, with Beck in college in Miami and Rabin at Illi- nois State University in Normal. Rabin picks up the story: "1 was like, 'This is a great idea So I had this business class that was on small business ownership. We had to create a fake company. But I was thinking, why create a fake hot dog stand when we have got this great idea?" Since 8th grade, Beck and Rabin have talked about running a business together. Now, less than a year after graduating from col- lege with business degrees, they are hosting free traveling Texas Hold 'Em poker tournaments at six universities. In April they will hold an online national champi- onship with a scholarship prize pool of up to $20,000. The budding entrepreneurs have succeeded in avoiding the corporate 9-to-5, but they are entering controversial territory in bringing a "legitimized" version of poker onto university campuses. Beck and Rabin aim to ride the poker wave; there has been an enormous growth in the game's popularity in general and in col- lege poker, in particular, during the past few years. There are about 3 million young people, between ages 14 and 22, who gamble at cards on a weekly basis, according to a recent study by the Annenberg Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvania. About half of the males attending college gamble at cards at least once a month, the research showed. Long a popular pastime, now poker events on television have glamorized the game and those who play it. Beck, who worked in the Uni- versity of Miami's intramural department and played poker in college, said he couldn't help but notice students' growing interest in the game. He said he thought schol- arship tournaments hosted mainly by university intramural depart- ments and funded by local and national sponsorships would allow students to enjoy the excitement of the game without the troubling aspects of gambling for money. But as popular as it is, college poker is controversial, particularly when it comes to university-spon- sored events. University officials have been criticized for being slow to recognize and react to problem student gambling in the same way they have to drug and alcohol abuse. Legal gaming is heavily regu- lated and Internet gambling is ille- gal in Illinois, though anyone with a credit card, online access and a search engine can quickly find a place to play poker or other games.

Villanova seniors suffer rash of injuries ALL YOU CAN EAT WEEKEND BRUNCH BUFFET .99 I ARlBGi 1 EVERY SATURDAY 8UNPAY10AM - PM! With your Colleg Req.Price CAR (AP) For Jason Fraser, a one-and-one was more likely to mean operations on both of his knees on the same day than a trip to the free-throw line. Curtis Sumpter's MRI exam revealed a torn ACL that earned him a DNP against North Caro- lina in last season's NCAA tour- nament. Now it's Allan Ray's turn to learn if the give-and-go means all he can do in his final home game is give some high-fives and go to the bench because of a sprained knee. Say this for Villanova's senior class, these players know almost as much about X-rays as they do about game film. And when the group is intro- duced before their home finale Wednesday against St. John's, the seniors better not forget to thank the doctors, trainers and physical therapists, as well as Mom and Dad. But this group didn't come to Villanova to earn an MD. The quartet of Fraser, Sumpter, Ray and Randy Foye arrived together as coach Jay Wright's first prized recruiting class and were deter- mined to return the Wildcats to college basketball's elite level. "If we're going to make this program go, it had to start with us said Foye, Villanova's lead- ing scorer. "We took it upon ourselves that we've got to do this All four played a part in making fourth-ranked Villanova (22-3, 12-2 Big East) a national championship contender again. The senior night game might or might not include Ray, who sprained his knee in Sunday's loss at Connecticut. The game definitely won't include Sumpter, who has missed all season recov- ering from two knee surgeries. "That was the plan from the beginning, to go out together Sumpter said. "But things happen along the way Instead of putting together two 10-game winning streaks with a four-guard lineup, the Wildcats could have been charg- ing down the stretch with four senior starters. But injuries and operations slowed the careers of Sumpter and Fraser. The 6-foot-9, 225-pound Fraser was supposed to be the best of the bunch, coming to the Main Line as a McDonald's Ail-American after leading Ami- tyville High School to four straight New York State Class B titles. He was athletic, could run well for a big man and block shots, and was considered tal- ented enough to make the leap to the NBA right out of high school. There isn't much leaping or jumping anywhere these days. Fraser has been plagued by injury since he was a freshman, missing four games his first year because of a stress fracture in his foot and three others when he was suspended because of phone- card violations. He missed eight more games with a broken left foot as a sophomore, and four more last season with a broken bone in his right hand. see INJURIES page A6 DISCOUNT RATES Store your 6x10'EL. stuff todav! i.s5F" m T ECU ID 10x12-$50 with ECU in Other sales available at discount rates.

Two former quarter- backs, Kort Shankweiler and Pat Dosh, will compete for the fullback position. Shankweiler moves back to fullback, a position he played two seasons ago while Dosh will be used as more of an H-back. Wide receivers Record setting senior Aundrae Allison is still recovering from a knee injury suffered in the season finale and will sit out much of spring ball. Juniors Phillip Henry, Booby Good, Juwon Crowell and Steven Rogers will compete with seniors Kevin Roach and Will Bland. Redshirt freshmen Kyle Johnson and Alex Taylor will vie for time as well. Wide receivers' coach Donnie Kirkpatrick has plenty of depth to work with, but will try to develop the speedy wideout he lacked in 2005. Defensive line Marcus Hands is still recover- ing from shoulder surgery that prematurely ended his 2005 season delaying his return for the fall. Senior Shauntae Hunt is penciled in as the defensive end opposite Hands. But push- ing Hunt will be redshirt fresh- man Scotty Robinson and junior Wendell Chavis. The interior is thin, however, with Dontre Brown, Brandon Setzer and Mark Robinson vying for the two starting slots at defensive tackle. Depth, though, will be an issue as grayshirt Johnnie McCoy is the only other scholarship player practicing. Linebackers Four of the five top lineback- ers from 2005 graduated so defen- sive coordinator Greg Hudson was forced haul in immediate talent. Aside from Pierre Bell, who will not practice due to a foot injury, JUCOs will probably lead the ranks throughout the spring. Lackawanna College teammates Danny Muhwezi and Orlando Farrow along with Fred Wilson will compete with juniors Durwin Lamb and Quentin Cotton. Sophomores Jarrett Wig- gins and Zach Slate are also in the mix. Depth won't be a problem as the three starting slots are a free-for-all. Secondary Jamar Flournoy was the slated strong safety starter in 2005 before a season-long suspension forced a redshirt. The senior rejoins Kyle Chase and free safety Pierre Parker, both of whom saw significant playing time in 2005.

Jerek Hewitt, who gained 96 yards at wide receiver as a true freshman will be a wild card as he moves back to his natural corner position. KickersSpecialists Seniors Robert Lee and Ryan Dougherty have cemented their slots as the starting kicker and punter respectively.

"No university would support a college drinking or smoking tournament. So we find the pres- ence of these tournaments odd Rabin said some university officials still say "no" to Collegiate Poker Tour Events, refusing to have their names and reputations associated with poker. Others wanted to see how well the tournaments succeeded before they decided whether to climb on board. Still, the idea is gaining accep- tance: From six this year, the duo says they are planning to host between 25 and 30 tournaments in the next academic year. The first tournament was held last November at Illinois State Uni- versity and pulled in about 350 students. Nate Tierney, a junior marketing major, won the event and will compete with others in the April online championship. "I surprised myself, that is for sure 20-year-old Tierney said, calling himself a good, but not an expert poker player. "When I told my folks about winning, they said, "Put down your books and work on your poker game But of course, they were just joking Sam Kelner, coordinator of intramural sports at St. Louis University, said he believes the Collegiate Poker Tour Events have many positive benefits. "When I found it was a non- alcoholic event and there is no exchange of money and no charge for students, I thought that it was the greatest bet Kelner said. "Let's be honest. It is a Satur- day night and students are going to go out and drink. We are always searching for ways (in which) students can be in an alcohol-free, safe environment These days, Beck and Rabin spend most of their days in Rabin's parents' basement in Buffalo Grove, 111 looking for additional companies to act as sponsors to provide everything from scholar- ship money to food and prizes for the events. The biggest challenge for the fledgling entrepreneurs has been the scholarship prize, which was once promoted to be as much as $85,000 an ambitious sum they never reached. Every cent they make is being poured into their business ven- ture, and they both still live with their parents. "I have the shortest commute of anyone in Buffalo Grove joked Rabin. ione 791-4200 UJ felt 5th Street www.eafniir1beliie.eom Tonight L Steve Hardy's Original Beach Part 8pm - Midnight Ladies In Free Have a pet, need free watersewer, and convenient to campus?

Fraser had five surgeries on his knees while at Villanova, including double knee surgery in April 2003, and seven over- all. Instead of reaching his star potential, he's a role player this season, averaging 3.8 points in 17 minutes. The number he cherishes most, though, is 25. Fraser hasn't missed a game this season. "God's truly blessed me this year to allow me to play basket- ball and practice from start to finish Fraser said. " The worst thing has been a bloody nose, and that's a very good thing " In a perfect scenario, Fraser might have formed a beefier, taller frontcourt with Sumpter. Considered the Wildcats most versatile player, Sumpter tore the ACL in his left knee in a second-round NCAA tournament game last season and missed the season-ending loss against North Carolina. Then, he tore the ACL again during a routine practice drill in October, needing a second surgery. "There's no doubt in my mind I want to be out there, there's no doubt in their mind that they want me out there, but I've got to do what's best for me Sumpter said. Sumpter recently was cleared to participate in individual drills, but has not practiced or scrim- maged. He said Tuesday he will take a medical red shirt and return next season as part of a nucleus that includes starters Mike Nardi, Kyle Lowry and Will Sheridan. "I wanted to go out there and help my team as much as I can Sumpter said. "Being out there was what I really wanted to do Sumpter will have a limited role on senior night. He might not be able to stomach observing his classmates celebrate know- ing he should have been part of the ceremony. And, it will be difficult not having his parents with him. "We're going to do it nicely, so he'll do it with me and he'll be in the pictures with his class- mates Wright said.
