New project could be answer to a host of ECU safety concerns ELISA BIZZOTTO STAFF WRITER An innovative new emer- gency alert and tracking system, which could potentially provide greater security to students, faculty and staff if successful, is currently undergoing testing for effectiveness and performance. ECU ASSIST, as the pilot project has been named, is a collaborative effort between Campus Police and Public Safety, Campus Living, the ECU Tech- nology Advancement Center and Disabilities and Support Services in which the primary purpose is to develop a system on campus that could resolve many security issues as well as provide support to those in emergency situations. Participants for the pilot project include 12 Safety Com- mittee Members, nine Residence Hall Advisors, six Disabilities and Support Services person- nel, five staff members, and three Technology Advancement Center staff members to combine a total of 35 active participants. The test location for the project is central campus, specifically involving Cotton, Fleming and Jarvis Residence halls, as well as the Flanagan building, Student Health Services, Joyner East, Joyner Library and the mall area. The way in which the system will work is rather simple in that it was intentionally designed for mobility and subtlety. Each test participant is designated a personal transmitter which is smaller in size than the average mobile phone. The participant can either carry the device or, for those that require mobility assis- tance, the device can be attached to a wheelchair, scooter, walker, etc. If at any time the participant is in need of emergency medi- cal assistance or is faced with a threatening situation, the partici- pant simply presses a buttoni on the hand-held device and a signal is sent to the telecommunication dispatch office in the campus police building just a couple hun- dred yards from the mall area. The button triggers an alarm on a PC in the police office and the name and picture of the participant who activated the alert emerges on screen. The participant's location is then determined through a triangu- lated system in which receiv- ers in the designated buildings transmit the alert signal, and the three that pick up the strongest signal pinpoint a location and transmit it to a map on the PC. Police officers are then dis- patched to the scene and con- tinuous updates are provided to the dispatcher in the direction the participant is traveling after activating the alert. The updates continue for 15 minutes, at which point the signal is lost if the transmitter is not activated a second time. In the event that no real emergencies occur within the testing period, each participant is see ECU ASSIST page A8 Bush declining political power Pivotal choices lead to a question of leadership LEESCHWARZ STAFF WRITER In recent weeks, President Bush has not been able to con- vince Congress to go his way on several issues. His support for Dubai to pur- chase the U.Kbased Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation Co. for $6.8 billion on March 2, which would place control of ports New York, Newark, Balti- more, Philadelphia, Miami and New Orleans into the hands of the United Arabs Emirates firm, was shattered by Congress, thereby forcing Dubai to sell its U.S. operations within six months. Bush's proposal to give India nuclear technology to lessen their dependence on foreign oil in exchange for India placing its military nuclear program under UN supervision is in the midst of being dissected by Congress and could be turned down as well. Additionally, Bush is taking heat on the possibility of an Iraqi civil war. Bush's job approval rating is at 39 percent and has been inert for the better part of a year. Why is Bush's own party, the GOP, in Congress is fighting him so hard? Did Tom Delay really help Bush that much to get his politi- cal agenda through Congress? A lot of Republicans believe that the White House is not fol- lowing the conservative guide- lines on which the Republican Party is based. The rift forming between Bush and the rest of the Republi- can Party may be advantageous to the GOP in 2008 when it will select a new presidential candidate. Those voters who are disen- chanted with Bush may indeed be swayed by a new conservative Republican agenda and candidate. It seems unlikely that Bush would win an election if it were held this year. Perhaps the only thing that could save Bush politically would be a watershed event such as see BUSH page A8 Students embarking on 'A rGo to school' on a great big boat all over the world CLAYTON BAUMAN STAFF WRITER Students interested in spending a semester at sea can look forward tc learning over- seas in a variety of different destinations. The Semester at Sea program, accredited through the Univer- sity of Virginia, gives students the opportunity to earn college credit fof different courses. Students who are interested need toflHiameet with theiradvi- sors in order to figure out which credits are transferable from the courses that are to be taken.

'MiXL Voyage of Discovery' enjoy a stop at the Taj Mahal in India. Armand Vonsiatsky, junior and construction manage- ment major, took part in the semester at sea program in fall of 2005. "It was an experience that was very rich and intellectually stimulating said Vonsiatksy, who visited such exotic locales as India, Myanmar and Viet- nam. "I had culture shock in India because it is night and day compared to American culture said Vonsiatsky. "I definitely realized that even if you're poor in America, you'd be considered rich in these other Countries Vonsiatsky also emphasized the bonds that he made with nis fellow shipmates saying that the friendships he made will last a lifetime. Affording to the Web site, the slip that students took, the MV Explorer, was like a small cruise ship. It cafhe com- plete with the luxttties of a regular cruise ship. The ship- board campus includes class- rooms, study areas and an 8,000 volume core library that supports the itinerary and the global, comparative academic focus of Semester at Sea. "Students could play vol- leyball and basketball while on the ship, as well as spend an afternoon by the pool sunbath- ing in the tropical sun said Vonsiatsky. "I had the time of my life said Brian Durham, a junior at Appalachian State University, "We just learned to appre- ciate what we got. We learned how lucky we are to live in the United States, just because it's a whole lot worse in other places of the world Semester at Sea currently offers three voyages a year during the fall, spring or summer.

New SGA office and member cards complete mcat gets a face lift SGA takes steps to promote student activity KIMBERLY BELLAMY STAFF WRITER SGA addressed the topics about the new office mem- bership cards and funding for various organizations at Monday's meeting at 5 p.m. M. Cole Jones, SGA president, announced that the new SGA office, located near the help desk in Mendenhall Center, was completed over the spring break. "The new office is more visible and more accessible at the request of the students Jones said. Corey King, assistant vice chancellor for student experience, is greatly contributing to making Mendenhall Student Center more and more of a premiere center for students, according to Jones. There will be a ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate and open the new office. The time and date of the ceremony will be announced at a later date. SGA membership cards were also made a point of interest by Jones. "SGA membership cards are an incentive-based tool to create more awareness about SGA, who we are and the many organiza- tions SGA supports according to Jones. Under the new constitution, every student is a member of the SGA in some capacity. With this fact being a part of the new document, the member- ship cards will be available to all students and not just execu- tive or senate members of SGA. SGA was able to fund many different various organiza- tions at the meeting as well. These organizations include the African Students Organiza- tion, National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA), Health Edu- cators Preparing for Tomorrow's Advancement (HEPTA) and a psychology honors organization. All of the funding allotted to these organizations will be used to provide money to attend conferences and pay for educa- tional supplies, office supplies, pamphlets, tee shirts, advertising and various other experiences. Students are reminded to Five new elements to the test that every medical student should know CLAYTON BAUMAN STAFF WRITER SGA members vote after some disagreement over funding. check out the many activi- ties that will take place March 20-25 for Diversity week. A majority of these events will be held in Mendenhall Stu- dent Center, Ledonia Wright Cultural Center, Hendrix The- ater or the Willis Building. Students are encouraged to be aware of flyers and e-mails concern- ing events on campus this week. This writer may be contacted at news@theeastcarolinian. com. The MCAT test for medical students has recently undergone some changes. Pre-medical students can expect to run into multiple changes when taking the pre- med test this year and into the future. "The MCAT medical college g admissions test is an exam that is taken by 60, almost 70,000 people annually said Amjed fl Mustafa, MCAT program man- g ager for Kaplan Test Prep and Admissions. "The MCAT itself is about eight hours and is comprised of four sections The four sections are com- prised of background in physics, general chemistry, organic chem- istry and biology. Mustafa added that students also need to have the critical thinking ability to do well on a verbal section as well as a writ- ing sample component that tests the way students can formulate arguments that are presented to them. The biggest change that is taking place is the jump from the standard paper and pencil administration to a computer- based test. The test is available for pencil and paper testing two more times before the permanent jump to computer-based testing. The changes have made many students rather apprehensive about the jump to computer testing. A poll of 4,000 MCAT stu- dents showed that 80 percent of students have yet to take a computer-based test. Even more are not as confi- l dent that they will perform better with the new testing. The change to computer test- ing is the biggest change that the MCATs has seen in 75 years of testing.

News Briefs State: Fires set Inside Charlotte Mormon church building CHARLOTTE, N.C (AP) - Arson fires early Sunday caused about $500,000 in damage to the inside of the largest Mormon church building in Charlotte, authorities said. More than 20 small fires were set inside the University City church, and officials said the damage could delay use of the building for about six months. No injuries were reported. Authorities had no suspects and were unsure if the fires were a hate crime. They declined to release specific information about the fires. The fires set off sprinklers inside the building and firefighters received an alarm signal at 2:39 a.m said Charlotte fire Capt. Rob Brisley. Fire officials said the fires were quickly extinguished. Sigg said church members are not sure what to think about the incident. They tried to do as much damage as they possibly could said Ted Ahem, a church member. "Starting a fire is one thing. Doing as much damage as possible is another Church fires in Charlotte are rare, officials said. The National Coalition for Burned Churches and Community Empowerment estimates there are 15-20 church fires a month in the U.S. Three college students were charged this month related to a string of rural Alabama church fires. Spring break season arrives on Grand Strand MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (AP) - It's spring break season on South Carolina's Grand Strand and, although not as busy as beach towns in places like Florida, thousands of students come to the area for a good time. 'It's still cool here, so you can't really get in the water, but everything else is fine said Laura Angle, a 20-year-old sophomore from Gainesville College in Georgia, who this year spent a second straight spring break at the beach. She said she and her friends spent their time visiting local attractions and partying. "Without drinking, it's not spring break she said while visiting Broadway at the Beach. Police and hotel owners say they keep an eye on the spring break groups for disorderly conduct. Angle and her friends said they have noticed police everywhere but said officers don't seem to bother those who don't create problems. Police say there were fewer reports of disorderly conduct, sexual assaults and noise ordinance violations last year than the year before. There were 1,321 such reports between mid-March and May of last year compared to 1,392 in 2004. "For the most part, students on spring break get a bad rap he said, adding students generally cause no more problems than visitors during the Fourth of July or a Shriners weekend. He added hotel operators don't try to monitor students' alcohol use. That's the responsibility of the person who sells it to them or gives it to them he said. National: Bush urges Americans to look beyond violence In Iraq (or signs of progress WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush sought Monday to emphasize progress over disillusionment after three years in Iraq, urging Americans to see a developing democracy beyond the frequent images of violence. Meeting at the White House with NATO Secretary General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer before departing for Cleveland, Bush said the military alliance's training mission in Iraq will help ensure that Iraqi security forces "can end up protecting the Iraqi people from those who want to kill innocent life in order to affect the outcome of that democracy NATO's role in Iraq has been limited to the training and some logistical support, as opposition led by France and Germany has prevented broader involvement. Bush was marking this week's third anniversary of the war by making speeches aimed at boosting support for his mission in Iraq, which has drawn increasing public skepticism at home, according to various polls. "We are implementing a strategy that will lead to victory in Iraq he assured a public that polls say is increasingly skeptical that he has a plan to end the fighting. White House critics say Bush must do more than give speeches, he needs to take more action to get a coalition government in Iraq and work toward bringing troops home. Rep. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, who is running for a Senate seat against GOP incumbent Mike DeWine, suggested that voters will hold Republicans accountable for "incompetent" policy on war and economic issues in the November election. "I hear very little support (for the Iraq war) in my travels in every region conservative regions, more progressive regions of this state, everywhere Brown said. Aging farmers leave uncertain future for next generation BLUE GRASS, Iowa (AP) - Earl Martz winces at the idea that one day someone other than a Martz may work the farm his family has owned for generations. Martz, 71, raised hogs, corn and soybeans on the same 160 acres his father bought in 1913. Two of his three sons now are working the land, but the future of the family farm seems uncertain. The next national agriculture census is scheduled for 2007, but economists say there is scant evidence to suggest the trend will reverse any time soon. The average age of the farmer is going up year after year after year said Pat O'Brien, an economist with the American Farm Bureau. "And one result of that is that we're seeing right now more and more land being concentrated in the hands of older owners "If your daddy isn't already an established, big farmer, where you can use the name to start up a partnership, you really don't have much of a chance these days he said. The federal government has programs designed to help a new generation of farmers buy or rent land, but critics say the federal farm payment system offsets the good intentions of future farming programs. "The reality is that agricultural land, the value of it, the cost of it, has been artificially inflated by the unlimited farm payment system said John Crabtree, spokesman of the Center for Rural Affairs, a private, nonprofit farm issues group based in Lyon, Neb. "It's not that the younger generation doesn't want to farm he said, "it's that we've created so many economic barriers for them to enter the field International: European observers: Belarus presidential vote neither free nor fair MINSK, Belarus (AP) - Independent observers said Monday the re-election of iron-fisted President Alexander Lukashenko was "a farce" because his opponents were systematically intimidated and detained. The European Union said it likely will impose financial and diplomatic sanctions on Belarus' top leaders in response. However, Russia hailed the election held by its ally and said the result that gave Lukashenko a third term "must be viewed with respect The March 19 presidential election did not meet the required international standards for free and fair elections said Rep. Alcee Hastings, D-Fla who chairs the OSCE parliamentary assembly, the world's largest regional security organization. Austrian Foreign Minister Ursula Plassnik, whose country holds the EU's rotating presidency, said the opposition "was systematically intimidated" during the campaign. She said preparations for the election "were conducted in a climate of intimidation, a climate of hindering" Lukashenko opponents. While Lukashenko is a dictator to his opponents and foreign critics, many Belarusians see the former collective farm manager as having brought stability after the uncertainty that followed the 1991 Soviet collapse. While the landlocked nation, about as big and flat as Kansas, is far from prosperous, the economy is growing and salaries are rising. Critics say the economic successes are unsustainable, based largely on cheap Russian energy and heavy- handed state intervention reminiscent of the communist era. Wembley Stadium evacuated after roof collapse LONDON (AP) - Part of the roof at the construction site ofthe new Wembley Stadium collapsed early Monday, causing the evacuation of nearly 3,000 workers. The GMB union said some workers heard "an enormous bang while working on the stadium. The piece dropped about three feet and no Injuries were reported. The Australian construction company Multiplex confirmed the evacuation and said engineers were examining the problem. "Something happened with the roof above certain workers Multiplex said in a statement. "It was a rafter in the roof that failed while it was being welded Construction work on the stadium started in September 2002 after a series of delays and wrangling over whether to include a running track. Wembley was part of England's bid to stage the 2006 World Cup, but financial backers withdrew when Germany was awarded the event. Last month, the Football Association moved the May 13 FA Cup final to Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, because Multiplex couldn't guarantee Wembley would be ready. England's soccer friendlies against Hungary and Jamaica have been moved to Old Trafford Stadium In Manchester. Multiplex is expected to lose about $175 million on the project and could be fined an additional $1.75 million each week beyond the deadline. In January 2004, one construction worker was killed and another injured at the site when scaffolding collapsed and dropped about 100 feet. WHO LET 4 OUT?

(KRT) Francine Greene tracks celebrity ailments in the news. She scans the obituary page daily to see which leading lights have died. Morbid? Perhaps, but the celebrity death watch is an hon- ored rite here, where part of being a New Yorker is basking in the radiant light of the city's galaxy of stars. When a luminary dies, New Yorkers pack churches, syna- gogues or theaters to say goodbye and to catch what Greene calls "the best free show in town Perversely, services for dead celebrities are often the best places to see live ones. Metropolitan Opera star Robert Merrill's "was like a Broad- way show. Rudolph Giuliani spoke. Leontyne Price sang Greene said. "At Alan King's ser- vice, Billy Crystal did the eulogy. Need 1 say more?" Some celebrities have so many devoteesactor and civil- rights activist Ossie Davis, for onethat the New York Police Department sends officers to control crowds and traffic. Fans review the funerals and memorials as if they had just taken in Chicago on Broadway. Marvin Hunter, 75, a retired psychologist, and his wife, Cathy, 74 and an artist, make a hobby of . attending them. "There have b9n m manyi .remarkable moments'At"hese" things Marvin Hunter, said, hoisting his backpack, as he stood in line to get into a Lincoln Center service for Pulitzer Prize- winning playwright Wendy Wasserstein. There was Liza Minelli sing- ing "New York, New York" at the November 2004 memorial ser- vice for composer Fred Ebb, who wrote the anthem for this city and for strivers everywhere. And who could forget play- wright Terrence McNally ("Kiss of the Spider Woman") asking at Ebb's service: "What do you say about a homophobic, anti- Semitic gay Jew?" Many people remember Jerry Orbach as the lovable if dark NYPD detective Lennie Briscoe on "Law & Order" or as the origi- nal Billy Flynn in "Chicago But Greene and others, including the entire cast of "Law & Order were charmed at his March 2005 service to hear of his daily poems to his wife, Elaine: "A chilly winter morning.

"You know she was really an authentic person in this artificial world Hunter said. Stanley Tannen, founder of a program called Toward Inter- national Peace Through the Arts, organized a service on the one-year anniversary of Arthur Miller's death. Tannen believes the playwright's ideals represent those of his organization. "It's not Willy Ionian alone to whom attention must be paid Tannen said, quoting the best- known line from Miller's play "Death of a Salesman "It's all the Willy Lomans in the world. Attention must be paid to people who are dying of AIDS and of famines all over the world, so Arthur Miller is to me a great quintessential interna- tional artist In order to pack the Feb. 10 service, which featured per- formances by actors Eli Wal- lach, Anne Jackson and Tony LoBianco, Tannen publicized the program at senior citizens' centers.

"I'm going to more and more these days Wallace, 87, said wearily. He announced his own retirement last week. Celebrities automatically get in at these events. Those who never had stars on their doors have to work at it. People seeking a seat at last week's Wasserstein service had to line up four hours in advaiu o to get one of 60 public seats. But then, who cares about time when you get to see Meryl Streep perform for free? She read from Wasserstein's "American Daughter Stars know their roles. So does the audience. New Yorkers have perfected the art of spying on celebrities while acting blase. As a group, they probably have the world's most well-developed peripheral vision. New Yorkers grant celebri- ties a wide berth. They know that asking for an autograph would quickly earn the epithet "tourist But they sneak peeks.

OPINION Page A4 edltor@theeastcarollnlan.com 252.328.9238 JENNIFER L HOBBS Editor in Chiet My Random Column Relationship 101 rr So I have this friend and she recently lost 250 pounds in a little over a month. She is happier now and surrounded by her true friends again. The best part about it was it was not her own weight but the weight of someone I thought was a burden - a guy who never deserved the person that he had dated and made his own. This brings me to the topic of the week: relationships. I have seen too many girls feel sorry for themselves when guys are not who they thought they were. Not that girls don't turn either but the whole thing makes me think. What is the point of dating if all we do is fight? With growing up and changing being the most important thing about college, besides getting a degree of course, we are here to learn. In our studies and about ourselves we grow and change everyday. As we get older, we choose to change to what we should be versus what other people think we should be to fit in. Whether it is who we end up being or not, you can't learn without living. You live and learn, the older the wiser; they are all saying the same thing. How can you judge someone else when you yourself are not sure what you are doing? You are no more immature than the person next to you because we are all in the mess that can't be understood until it is over. I believe that everything happens for a reason. You may not understand it now, but it will be clear soon and just keep your head up. Our Staff Jennifer L Hobbs Editor In Chief Rachel King Claire Murphy News Editor Asst News Editor Carolyn Scandura Features Editor Tony Zoppo Sports Editor Sarah Bell Head Copy Editor Herb Sneed Photo Editor Alexander Marciniak Web Editor Edward McKim Production Manager Newsroom Fax Advertising Opinion Columnist A look into the mind and spirit of the samurai Ways of the Warrior BENJAMIN CORMACK CASUAL OBSERVER For the past few years I've been doing some reading about the philosophy of the samurai, the ancient warriors of Japan. 1 am just fascinated by the samu- rai and the stories about them. To me the samurai and other ancient warriors of Japan and China represent a concept of an epitome of human potential. If you've ever seen a samurai or martial arts film, even though they can be a bit exaggerated at times, or a martial arts per- formance, you may have seen something like people breaking stone blocks with their bare hands, cutting through a stalk of bamboo, or some other form of incredible physical display. These seemingly super-human abilities came in part from a devotion to training their bodies. The purpose or the fruits of their labors was generally meant to be of use to their superiors, both for battle and protection. The word "samurai" means "to serve It was a samurai's duty to serve his master, even if it meant he would die or even if he would have to take his own life. This all seemed to stem from the codes and rules that they lived by, which in turn gave them a reputation of having wills of unshakeable iron; a will that almost seemed to say, "I will say what I can and can't do 1 guess the reason I started researching the samurai was because I wanted to better under- stand their minds and beliefs, such as the samurai's code and way of honor called Bushido. This was especially true when I heard the story of the 47 Ronin, or sam- urai without a master or leader. The story tells of a group of samurai who were left leaderless after their master was forced to commit seppuku, or ritual suicide, for assaulting a court official named Kira, who had insulted him. After patiently waiting and planning for over a year, the samurai avenged their leader by killing the court offi- cial. They were then forced to commit seppuku for committing murder, which they knew would be their fate'from the beginning. It was this level of devotion, honor and courage that inspired me to understand them, and also what enabled me to watch The Last Samurai with Tom Cruise in it. I'll also admit that The Last Samurai is one of those movies that makes me cry every time I watch it. I've read a few books about the samurai and Bushido and I've discovered that while death was a strong aspect of their lives, the goal of a samurai was not to die and that life was viewed as being far from mean- ingless. With that, I'd like to share with you some things from two books I've read. These passages come from Code of the Samurai translated by Thomas Cleary: One who is supposed to be a warrior considers it his foremost concern to keep death in mind at all times, every day and every night, from the morning of New Year's Day through the night of New Year's Eve. All human life is likened to evening dew and morning frost, considered something quite frag- ile and ephemeral. If people comfort their minds with the assumption that they will live a long time, that some- thing might happen, because they think they will have forever to do their work and look after their parents they may fail to perform for their employers and also treat their parents thought- lessly. But if you realize that the life that is here today is not cer- tain on the morrow, then when you take your orders from your employer, and when you look in on your parents, you will have the sense that this may be the last timeso you cannot fail to become truly attentive to your employer and your parents. As long as it is realized and accepted that warriors must com- prehend right and wrong, and strive to do right and avoid wrong, then the way of warriors is alive. Finally, I'd like to share a few of my favorite passages from a book called Hagakure: The Book of the Samurai translated by Wil- liam Scott Wilson. Hagakure is a collection of stories and sayings from real samurai that expresses and was used to teach samurai philosophy. "According to the situation, there are times when you must rely on a person for something or other. If this is done repeatedly, it becomes a matter of importun- ing that person and can be rather rude. If there is something that must be done, it is better not to rely on others "There is something to be learned from a rainstorm. When meeting with a sudden shower, you try not to get wet and run quickly along the road. But doing such things as passing under the eaves of houses, you still get wet. When you are resolved from the beginning, you will not be per- plexed, though you still get the same soaking. This understand- ing extends to everything "No matter what it is, there is nothing that cannot be done. If one manifests the determina- tion, he can move heaven and earth as he pleases. But because man is pluckless, he cannot set his mind to it. Moving heaven and earth without putting forth effort is simply a matter of con- centration Finally, I'll leave you with this one sentence I've taken to heart quite strongly.

Hall holds himself out to be "intelligent and well educated For heavens sake he has a "Master's Degree In spite of his high level of edu- cation, Rev. Hall's knowledge of history is sorely lacking, to wit: While "conduct(ing) (his) substantial amount of research" did Rev. Hall read the Declaration of Independence? It clearly states: whenever any Form of Gov- ernment becomes destructive it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government After conduct(ing) a substan- tial amount of research does Rev. Hall really believe hundreds of thousands of poor Southern boys were willing to give their lives so a few rich planters could keep their slaves? Might there have been other motivation to fight and die? Did his substantial research not reveal that Abraham Lincoln was an admitted racist stating publicly: "I will say, then, that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races - that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them I to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races from living together on terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man, am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race Did he not read the Emanci- pation Proclamation and discover that it didn't free any slaves and was a simply a PR ploy? Further, it failed to cause the intended slave uprising in the South because - even without Southern men present - the blacks remained loyal to their families. In his research did he dis- cover that Confederate President Jefferson Davis adopted a 5 year- old black boy during the war and that Jim Limber was taken from the family when Davis was cap- tured and never seen again? While conducting his research did he learn that Gen- eral Robert E. Lee, CSA freed his slaves years before the war while General U.S. Grant, USA held his black slaves in bondage until FORCED to free them by the 13th Amendment after the War of Northern Aggression? Did he not know that Gen- eral Grant stated, "If I thought this war was to abolish slavery, I would resign my commission, and offer my sword to the other side Did his substantial research reveal that states like Ohio, Il- linois, Indiana, Iowa and the Oregon Territory had laws to forbid black immigration? Did he not learn that at the end of the War of Northern Aggression 19 of 24 Northern states did not allow blacks to vote? Nowhere were blacks allowed to serve on juries before 1860. Negroes could not give testimony in 10 northern states, and were prevented from assem- bling in two. During his research did he learn about the 100 years of devastation that reconstruction wreaked on the South? For more history set straight go to ilovedixie.com and click on the "Corrected History" button. Slavery is evil, but there is blame enough to go around - including to the north (United States) which always gets a pass. I say honor those who gave their lives to defend their hearth and home. And may I suggest Rev. Hall take an American history class at a college other than the one that taught him to spell. Deo Vindice, Davis Mauldin WEDNESDAY March 22, 2006 Pirate Rant It's not that seeing Jake Gyllenhaal with another man makes me angry, It's seeing him with anyone but me that gets me a little steamed. I guess my friend must be getting pretty bored because she has started responding to her own Pirate Rants. Would it be so difficult for ECU to add a link to OneStop that would allow students to view how many meals they have left or how much money they have left on their Pirate Bucks? Someone please develop this Web site! ECU dominated Key West just like everywhere else we go. No one parties harder than the Pirates. Now that spring break is over, is anyone else worried that they aren't going to have a job when they get out of here? I guess I'm going to have to move back in with the parents and get a job at Wal-Mart. This college degree sure seems to be paying off. Every day there is a prejudiced Pirate Rant! When is ECU administration going to wake up and realize they need to address tolerance and diversity issues on campus? What happened to the campus confessions? They're more entertaining then the Pirate Rants! My philosophy teacher laughs at people dying. I wish some of these groups or organizations would start selling "bling" or "grillz" in front of Wright plaza. Many people like me would rather buy those than a rose or a piece of candy that they are trying to sell. I'm glad to see those people who don't have an A parking sticker get tickets! They only take my premier spot that I paid for. Ha ha they should know better, D stickers belong at the freshman lot. Please tell me when it became a sin to stay home in your own house and watch TV or study? My roommate thinks that it is not "healthy" that I choose to not party every night or go out all the time. I guess the fact I'm making a 4.0 and she's failing a bunch of classes is really starting to get to her. Had a bad boyfriend? Had a cheating one? Post him on dontdatehimgirl.com to save another girl's heart. What is up with the NCAA Tournament thisyear? Does anyone have his or her brackets even close to being right at this point? And no, picking Duke all the way down doesn't count; I'm talking about the rest of it all. I guess that Facebook group was right, red heads are better than the rest. I think I'm in love with a red head. Every day I connect to the wireless network, see Taho, and wonder why is ECU's network named after a luxury SUV? To the person who is on the meal plan for four years and still complaining about the food. Wake up already and get University Meal deal. This plan allows vou to eat at local restaurants around town. Try it ancf then you don't have anymore bad food or bad service. I wait tables and bar tend, and it drives me crazy when people act all mad when I card them. Like 1 have a per- sonal vendetta against their drinking. It really cracks me up when I card someone, and they act all indignant about it when they were totally bom in 1984. You )ust turned 21! Be happy you can show your ID for drinks, don't bitch at me because I troubled you for you ID. It seems imperative for liberals to pull up next to me after seeing the "W" sticker on my vehicle and insult my Intelligence. Why be so offensive? I may think you are a pansy bleeding neart liberal who is jumping on a popular collegiate bandwagon, but I wont pull up next to you and tell you that. Can someone tell me why girls on my floor to con- stantly run up and down the halls screaming and shrieking like they're being murdered? Honestly, is it really necessary? All I want is some peace and quiet so I can take a nap. To the person who made the comment about we stu- dents who receive financial aid, we're sorry that we can't be spoiled brats like you and have mommy and daddy pay for everything for us. Some of us actually support ourselves for a living! I am so sick of all you people who need someone to sublease at Pirate's Cove. First of all, why did you move in last summer if you knew you weren't going to stay for a full year? Secondly, when you say you nave a 1BR1BA apartment for rent, that's a lie. You still have three other roommates! Proper planning can save you a lot of money. Good luck with all that subleasing! ECU is part of the council to get Pitt County Schools smoke free, and it is rumored that ECU will go smoke free as part of the deal. Is this going to be another "Higher One" stealth job? The Pitt County Schools cater to underage students. ECU is packed full of people that are "of-age" and can make their own, legal, decisions. Why haven't we heard anything about this? I know that everyone has been complaining about the Greeks on campus. I'm not Greek, but I wanted to show some love for the boys of TKE. They are some of the cutest and nicest guys on campus, plus they always have great parties. And in the four years I've been hanging out with them I've never seen anyone with a popped collar. I think it time for this campus to take its role as future leaders a bit more seriously. I've been on the receiving end of more then enough police Billy clubs and insults as I protested the war in Nam when I first started college. Come on kiddies there's still time to try and make a dif- ference. You can't sit and wait for someone else to do It. Trust me we made a difference and you can to. TEC ran a lengthy article supporting abortion and claiming that making it illegal would cause an atrocity of deaths from mothers who still sought one if they were made illegal. What about the other side? Is it not an atrocity for women to kill their babies? The solution to the first atrocity would be to not'get an abortion in the first place. What makes women think they have the "right" to kill a child? Why would a woman complain about getting hurt during an abortion anyway there's no safe way for the child? Everyone! Just get over it! Street names change; statues are put up, guys and girls will cheat, most of all in ten or fifteen years everything that seemed earth shattering today will not even be remembered. So folks, get over it Move on, grow up and get a life. To whomever runs Mendenhall now, think you can hire someone to open the doors on time? If you say the building opens at 7:30 why does that mean that you don't unlock the doors until 7:50? And now to the staff of Mendenhall - if you see a group of students waiting outside the doors after you're supposed to be open, don't you think it makes sense to tell someone that the doors are still locked? I've been in Greenville for four years, worked every year, and still pay out of state tuition. When I apply for in-state, ECU justifies it by saying "according to a certain statute, we do not have to explain our grounds for denial Editor's Note: 77 Pirate Rant is an anonymous way for students and staff in the BCUconmamhytosethekoptrtlom.Sjdmissionsambesutmirtedanonymou online at www.tneeastcarotinian.com, or e-mailed to edttonwtheeastcarolhnan. com.

Marian mc-rn M. PAGEA8 THE EAST CAROUNIAN NEWS 3-22-06 Five thoughts on recycling "cat from page A1 I (KRT) For many people, it's a habit to sort cans, glass, paper and plastic into recycling bins. But to really minimize the resources we use and the waste we leave for future gen- erations, we have a ways to go. Here are a few things you might not know about recycling. DON'T COUNT ON IT: Just because something is labeled recyclable" doesn't mean it will be recycled. And "recycled" doesn't necessarily mean "refilled" or "made back into another one Plastic milk bottles, for instance, are often made into lumber sub- stitutes rather than new bottles. THE PLASTIC CODE: That little triangle of arrows surround- ing a number says what kind of plastic a thing is made of, such as code 1, polyethylene terephthal- ate, or PET, used for soda and water bottles. "The best market for recyclables is the Is and 2s said Gary Mlelke, recycling coordinator in Kane County, 111. But "plastics are problematical" ECU ASSiSt from page A1 required to test their alarm on a . specific day of the week resulting in up to five alarm tests per day. Because the project is in a pilot stage, the hand-held trans- mitter is only picked up if the participant is inside or in close proximity of one of the desig- nated buildings or in the mall area. Ideally, if the system is in fact implemented on campus, all campus locations would be wired and the receivers would be able to transmit signals activated from as far out as Fifth Street and the freshman parking lot. Furthermore, each individual would also have the option of including personal information into the system along with pic- tures and names, such as troubled relationships or specific medical ailments for example, to provide more knowledge to dispatch officers in the 'event that they require emergency assistance. The technical system selected for use in the project is BOSCH Security Escort System, chosen for its success in tracking and locat- ing people in and outside of build- ings. The system was installed throughout the fall semester and early this spring, and testing just recently began at the beginning of this month. It will continue on through mid-April at which point implementation and evalu- ation of the system will begin. The estimated time for which all three phases of the pilot proj- ect will be complete is sometime this summer. At the completion of the pilot, the heads of each division involved will determine the success of the project and ide- ally provide a proposal to imple- ment the system on campus. The idea for the project stemmed from Director of the ECU Technology Advancement Center, J. Barry DuVall, and Assistant Director, Matthew Powell's desire to implement a system that would be proactive in resolving growing safety and security concerns rather than reactive. They expressed that past crime and safety issues on the ECU campus as well as on campuses across the country can be accredited, in part, to their idea for this initiative. While universities in other states use similar systems to better secure their campuses, ECU is the first school in the country to work on this type of network. Furthermore, ECU is currently ahead of all of UNC's sister institutions in testing a project of this sort. According to the Support Services Major, Frank Knight, ECU is represent- ing the sister institutions in determining whether or not this project would be worth implementing into their systems. According to DuVall and Powell, however, it is not solely the safety and security concerns that play a factor in the desire to see this project succeed. In addi- tion to veering away, those indi- viduals of the Greenville com- munity that do not belong to the campus but continuously pose as threats, both see significant pos- sibilities in the advances in tech- nology the pro)ect could bring. Along with the ASSIST proj- ect there are four others that are in the process of testing or will shortly be underway. They are looking for components in each project that would best suit the needs of the campus and ideally would like to combine those com- ponents to create one system that would provide a better environ- ment on the ECU campus overall.

A star of the recycling bin is the alumi- num can, because it is made into another can with a huge savings of electricity and other costs over mining new metal. "It's a circle says Betsy Vandercook, presi- dent of the Chicago Recycling Coalition. "A can becomes a can becomes a can becomes a can THOSE PESKY LABELS: Rinse out containers, just so you don't have funky substances sitting around your house for days. But don't bother removing the labels. When glass, plastic and metal are melted down, the temperatures are so high that the labels "just go away Vandercook says. Do remove caps, though.

This is so that students who may have concerns about taking the computer test may get a chance at taking the standard pencil and paper test before the final transition to computer. One possible benefit to the computer testing is a shorter test day. Rather than the standard eight hour day of testing, with the computer it has been reduced to around five and a half hours. Nevertheless, the reduction is time has resulted in reduction is questions. This leaves smaller room for error.

BUSh from page M another tragedy al a 9-11, finding Osama bin Laden, or a world- backed military effort into Iran which would force Iran to follow UN nuclear guidelines and stop its nuclear program, which every- one believes is for a weapons program and not for peaceful civilian purposes. When the European Union wants to take action against Iran when it would not against Iraq three years ago it is telling of the world's perception of Iran's regime. So far it seems as though Iran's dip- lomatic attitude is one that is daring the U.S. and the world to act. Seemingly, the proposals he has backed are part of globalization and may be in made in the interest of making better relations between the U.S. and the rest of the world. It seems that he has gone the way of Richard Nixon in that he is supporting a relatively liberal agenda in his second term, much to the chagrin of the GOP and his campaign supporters. Of course Nixon was undone by the Watergate scandal and then forced to resign. Will Bush suffer a similar fate or will he simply be politically neutered and margin- alized by his own party in Con- gress while they bide their time until they replace him in 2008? Probably the latter since it seems as though Congress is running its own agenda without Bush. Bush wants to re-institute the line item veto in order to have some con- trol over Congressional spending. Line-item veto, which allows for the ability of the President to cut certain parts of a proposed law out in order to save money and to make the spending focused more on the nation as a whole rather than just one particular area, was first instituted in 1996 and Clinton used it 82 times to save the Government $2 billion as he too lost power in Congress during his second term. The difference, however, was that Clinton was mired in scandal and was dealing with the opposite party. Neither is true for Bush, making recent develop- ments that much more puzzling. The fact that Bush wants it revived after it was declared unconstitutional in June 1998 is a sign of how Bush has lost power in Congress. Even John Kerry supports Bush having the power, which may be a very savvy maneuver by the Senator to widen the rift between Bush and Congress, saying, "I want to see the incom- prehensible waSte coming out of this Congress vetoed This writer can be reached at news@theeastcarolinian.com.

He said former Soviet Union leader' Mikhail Gorbachev once showed up at his Dublin house unannounced, joining Bono, his wife, All, and their son, John, at the kitchen table. "We sat down and drank a lot of whisky together Bono said in an interview with Australian TV host Andrew Denton, excerpted by the New York Daily News.

From Genesis to Revelations Brit drummer-singer Phil Collins, 55, and his Swiss-born wife, Orianne (reportedly in her early 30s), are going Splitsville. The couple, who have sons Nicholas, 4, and Matthew, 1 (Phil also has three kids from his first two wives), met in 1994 and married five years later. In a joint statement, the duo, who will continue living in Switzerland, say they "are both very sad that it should come to this" and vow to focus on "the welfare and happiness of their children From March 6 - April 14, Campus Living and the ECU Technology Advancement center will be testing the effectiveness of a new emergency and help location system. With the help of 30 participants consisting of students, staff and faculty in the west campus area, the project will be put into action for the first time on ECU's campus. Crimes such as robberies and assaults have been on the rise on campus, and the ECU Assist system provides a much more practical way to contact police. The emergency posts scat- tered around campus that are currently used to aid students in contacting police are nowhere near as sophisticated or reliable as the new system will be. "I don't think the emergency posts around campus are all that effective; if someone's going to rob you they're not going to do it 10 feet from one of those, and if you have to run to one, the person's going to get away. They do serve some peace of mind and deter thefts and muggings, but an updated system would make me feel safer walking around campus at night said sophomore Charlie McCanless. The Assist system uses a net- work of transmitters and receivers that will be placed on and around the dorms and buildings of west campus in the initial testing. The participants will be given a small transmitter, simi- lar to a keyless entry remote for a car, which alerts police that a person is in distress. This system has many practi- cal features that can enhance safety on campus. In addition to alerting the police, the trans- mitter is tracked for 15 minutes following activation. Once the signal is received by police, information is presented showing the person's picture and any medical information that police may need to know. This is another advantage of the system; it not only works for student victims, but also helps people with disabilities that may not be able to reach an emer- The emergency indicator lights located throughout campus are more useful than ever with ECU Assist. gency post. The system is the Bosch Secu- rity Escort System, and it has been used by businesses and colleges because of its effec- tiveness at tracking and locat- ing people even while they are inside buildings. This system could offer peace of mind for many students all over campus if put in place.

Late Night laughs at Pirate Underground The Late Night Players show their individual personalities on stage as well as in photographs ECU Swash Improv joins national comedy group JOSEPH MINNICH STAFF WRITER For all you "Saturday Night Live" and "Mad TV" fans out there, the Late Night Players are parading into Greenville with their unique brand of live sketch comedy. The group, which formed six years ago at Brandeis University in Boston, is playing at the Pirate Underground on the bottom floor of Mendenhall at 8 p.m. Thursday, March 30. The group, which consists of Zach (the boss), Seth (the buf- foon), Seth D. (the nerd), Andrew (the new guy) and Aaron (the rebel), has journeyed to more than 26 states and played in a wide array of venues ranging from the Galapagos Theater in New York to the Charleston Comedy Festival in South Caro- lina. Along the way, these men have been willing to do any- thing to entertain their specta- tors, from dressing up as a giant tampon during a musical number to competing in an impromptu dance-off. The Late Night Players also separate themselves from other sketch comedians by customiz- ing every show for each particu- lar crowd. During their last show at ECU, the audience was treated to a new school alma mater, as well as several anagrams involv- ing phrases made from "East Carolina University Rather than relying on exhausted racist or homopho- bic jokes that can be seen on Comedy Central (give it up Carlos Mencia), the Late Night Players tailor their material away from topics that bash people. This style can be considered a blessing or a curse. The Late Night Players have been treated to a standing ovation by 1,000 people at one performance, but have almost been bum-rushed by an entire fraternity at another performance for a joke gone awry. "We recently raised more than $5,000 for the hurricane- ravaged town of Biloxi, Miss. We love doing shows that raise money on important issues stated Andrew when asked about his favorite venues in a press interview. The Late Night Players say their love for philanthropy comes from their various backgrounds in political science and sociology, which have led them to cham- pion social justice and use this in their material. Andrew and Seth D. both made it clear during their inter- view that they had no lack of material either. Spending so much time on the road has led to a lot of strange situations, such as the night they spent at a rodeo-cowboy bachelor party in the South Dakota badlands. The long-term goal for The Late Night Players is to gain enough popularity to be granted a TV show, similar to the classics "SNL" or "Kids in the Hall The show at the Pirate Under- ground March 30 is free for every- one, and the ECU Swash Improv will be opening. The Swash Improv is the first and only improvisational comedy troupe affiliated with ECU. They participate in a series of games and scenes and, using audience suggestions, create these scenes on the spot. Their performance is tai- lored similarly to "Whose Line is it Anyway?" with a sharper edge and a college theme.

Dating can feel like a world war Someone needs to wave the white flag SENSIBLE PARTY TRUTH WRITER Lately I've been hearing that I'm too young to be in a relationship. Everyone tells me at this point in my life, dating and going out with new people should be fun. So why does it seem like dating and relation- ships consist of one big game - men versus women or partner versus partner? On first dates, you're won- dering if what you're saying is interesting enough or if you're talking too much in general. Then after the date, there's that awkward moment when you realize you're about to part ways but have no idea how you want to say goodbye. I've had both a disappoint- ing and disturbing ending to a first date. We had made it through the evening with mini- mal embarrassment, saw a band play and stopped by a party. Then before I knew it, the night was coming to an end and we were pulling up to my house. He leaned in for a kiss (after having a huge crush on him for quite some time, I was OK with it) and I closed my eyes. The next thing I know, his tongue is all over the place and in the back of my head and all I'm thinking is "Dear God what is he looking for in there? He was one step away from lick- ing the side of my face before I pulled back and retreated into my house. I've had awkward dating moments before, but being violated by someone's tongue was a whole new low. Nevertheless, my crush faded quickly into disgust. So let's say you make it past the first few dates. First let me say congratulations; you've made it through the sometimes rough trials and tribulations of getting to know someone. But now you find yourself on a whole new playing field. Now there are all these new questions: "Is it too soon to call him?" Or, "I really like her so I'm going to wait a long time to call her back, that way' she won't know that I really like her. We're all familiar with worrying too much about the little things when it comes to the opposite sex. In fact, thinking constantly about who has control over whom or which person wears the pants can actually hurt a good relationship. So how about a truce? If we're all preoccupied with sexual politics, then no one's having as good of a time as they should be. Instead, on a date you should be excited about what you're saying and interested in what the other person has to offer as well. If he cracks a slightly lame joke, give him credit for trying and laugh a little. Ladies, if he takes you to a nice restaurant, I'm begging you to eat all that you possibly can. Don't think that it's not lady- like to eat a lot; you're human and you can appreciate a good steak just as much as he does. When you go out, you shouldq't be so concerned about making the ideal impression. Don't get so caught up in making a perfect front that you end up blocking the other person from seeing the real you. Dating can feel like a war sometimes. You're both so wor- ried about stepping on a mine or setting off a trip wire that you can't relax and appreciate a good date. What men and women don't realize is the person sitting across the table secretly feels the same way. If dating is a battlefield then our only chance of survival Is to stop looking at the opposite sex as foreigners; otherwise, we'll never get a chance to cross over enemy lines.

Reese Witherspoon crosses over to fame with her Oscar win MARIANNE BARROW STAFF WRITER Reese Witherspoon used to be known as the sassy blonde law student she portrayed in Legally Blonde. That changed in 2005 when she played the role of June Carter in Walk the Line, a film documenting the life of famous singer Johnny Cash. Recently winning an Oscar for Best Actress in a leading role has proven to film audiences and critics that Witherspoon will now be known for her outstanding performances rather than for being a dumb blonde. Born in New Orleans, Laura Jeanne Reese With- erspoon traveled with her family to Germany for two years and then came back to the United States to be raised in Tennessee. Her parents realized her potential, and Witherspoon began modeling at age seven. She progressed into appearances in television commercials. Her first big break was in 1990, when she played a young teenage tomboy in The Man in the Moon and got great reviews. Though she was heavily involved in acting, THF FST CAROI INIAN Witherspoon was still dedicated to school work. She graduated in Tennessee from an all-girl high school in 1994 and planned to attend Stanford University and major in English. However, she took a break from her studies in 1996 to take on the lead role in the dramatic movie Fear, opposite Mark Wahlberg. At her 21st birthday party, Witherspoon met actor Ryan Phillippe, whom she eventually married and went on to co-star with in Cruel Intentions. The couple now have two children, Ava and Deacon. Everything was going in the right direction for the charming actress, and in 2001, Reese Witherspoon became a house-hold name. Legally Blonde was released in theaters and turned out to be a box office grand-slam. With- erspoon played Elle, a ditzy but loveable student who attended Harvard Law School to win back her college boyfriend. So the door to stardom was propped opened for Witherspoon, but it was a film directed by James Mangold that would blow her entrance to memo- rable acting wide open. The concept for Walk the Line was serious; it took four years for producers to get secured rights for the script from friend of the family James Keach. It then took four more years of hard work to finally get the film together. Witherspoon starred in the movie with Joaquin Phoenix, who played legendary country-music bad boy Johnny Cash. She played the role of Cash's true love and fellow singer, June Carter. Both actors took singing lessons for six months and sang throughout the film, making their performances that much more impressive. The actress actually went one step farther and also learned how to play the auto-harp as June Carter Cash did. Reportedly, June Carter Cash per- sonally chose Witherspoon to portray her in the film and Johnny Cash picked Phoenix for his char- acter. Sadly, June passed away before production on the film, but this only fueled Witherspoon to examine the extraordinary woman more closely. She took note of everything from the pitch of June's voice to the closet full of clothes that she wore while performing and going on tour. Reese Witherspoon has been in the movie- making business for a long time. She has steadily made her name known and increased her capa- bilities as an actress. But it was her truly in-depth work in Walk the Line that made her talent shine through and allowed her to move up to the posi- tion of a respected, bright actress. The Oscar speaks for itself.

Arroyo was 14-10 with a 4.51 ERA last season. He was part of a deep group of Red Sox starters and had taken a home-team discount when he signed a three- year contract worth $11.25 million on Jan. 19. Pena batted .254 with 19 homers and 51 RBI last season and struck out 116 times with 20 walks. A 24-year-old right-handed hitter, he could play right field instead of lefty Trot Nixon when left-handers pitch against Boston. Without the 29-year-old Arroyo, Boston still has Curt Schilling, Tim Wakefield, Josh Beckett, Matt Clement David Wells and Jonathan Papelbon as starters. Arroyo, who pitched five shutout innings Sunday after struggling in his first three exhibition appearances, was expected to start the season in the bullpen. Arroyo had career highs last year with 14 wins, 32 starts and 205 13 innings pitched. In the past four seasons, Pena batted .248 with 51 HR and 134 RBI with the Reds. Boxer dies from brain Injury Professional boxer Kevin Payne died Sunday, one day after suffering a brain injury during a fight. Payne died following surgery at Deaconess Hospital in Evansville, his hometown. He was 34. Vanderburgh County Coroner Don Erk said Payne died as a result of an Injury suffered during the match. Payne won an eight-round welterweight bout by split decision over 26-year-old Ryan Maraldo on Saturday at The Centre, but had to be helped from the ring and was taken by ambulance to the hospital. The fight was the main event on a card that was broadcast live by Azteca America, a Spanish-language cable channel that goes to 45 million homes in the Americas. Payne (14-5- 1) and Maraldo (20-19-1) were fighting for the opportunity to face Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. next month on HBO. Federer wins again After falling behind 4-1 In the opening set, the top-ranked Federer came back to beat Blake 7-5, 6-3, 6-0 Sunday for his unprecedented third consecutive Pacific Life Open championship. The championship signaled that Federer is back in top form following his lone loss of the year, to Rafael Nadal in Dubai this month. With the Indian Wells title, Federer kept Intact his personal record of having never tost finals in consecutive tournaments. Blake, No. 14 and assured of moving into the top 10 for the first time when the rankings come out this week, said Federer simply turned it on after he fell behind. Even Blake was smiling when the match ended, shaking Federals hand and giving him a pat on the back. Federer won for the 25th time in his 36 tournaments dating to the start of 2004. He Is 22-1 this year and his three titles Include the Australian Open, his seventh Grand Slam championship. After Blake broke his service twice in the first set to take the 4-1 lead, Federer broke back in the sixth game and held serve in the seventh. Then the American held in the next to go up 5-3. Federer won his serve in the ninth. Then Blake, serving for the set, was at deuce when he double-faulted twice in a row to make it 5-5. The rest of the match essentially was all Federer.

Tackles line up deep NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue will oversee his final draft on April 28-29. He announced his retirement earlier this week. Five linemen could be drafted in first round RON CLEMENTS STAFF WRITER By now most sports fans know who D'Brlckashaw Ferguson is. If you don't know, here's a little description. He's a 6-foot-6-inch, 312-pound offensive tackle from Virginia who is slated as one of the top five picks in April's NFL Draft. The funny thing about "Brick" is that he appears to still be grow- ing. He was measured at 6-feet, 5V4-inches 298 pounds at the Senior Bowl, but was 14 pounds heavier and a half-inch taller at the NFL's combine last month. With that size, Ferguson still dis- plays the quickness and perfect footwork that has teams desper- ate for a solid left tackle salivating at the prospect of landing him. The Saints, Titans and Jets are all strong possibilities for Ferguson. Although Ferguson seems to be a lock to come off draft boards within the first few picks, he is far from the only offensive lineman, or tackle, projected to go in the first round. Winston Justice from Southern Cal, Marcus McNeill from Auburn, Miami's Eric Winston, Jonathan Scott of Texas and Cal's Ryan O'Callaghan are all possible first-round picks. They are all offensive tackles. Justice is who I have rated as the second-best offensive lineman in this draft. His resume includes protecting 2004 Heisman winner Matt Leinart for three years and blocking for 2005 Heisman winner, and the probable number one overall pick, Reggie Bush. The 6-foot-6-inch, 300-pound junior could find a job in Cleve- land, which has the 12th pick. Although there is a plethora of talent at offensive tackle, espe- cially when you throw Boston College's Jeremy Trueblood, Boise State's Daryn Colledge, N.C. State's Derek Morris and UNC's Skip Seagraves into the mix, there are other offensive linemen who could come off the board within the first 32 picks. Big Ten centers Nick Mangold from Ohio State and Wisconsin's Donovan Raiola are solid first-round prospects. Raiola, who is 6-feet, 2-inches and 300 pounds, is the younger brother of Detroit center Dominic Raiola. Raiola and Mangold are joined by Penn State's E.Z. Smith, who is from Concord, N.C, and Minnesota's Greg Eslinger as cen- ters who could go the first day. Georgia senior Max Jean- Gilles is most likely the only guard who will be drafted in the first round, His enormous size (6-foot-4-inches, 340 pounds) coupled with his athleticism makes for a perfect stop-block for would-be pass rushers. Other guards who should get drafted and could make an impact on the next level are Florida's Lance Butler, from Lexington, N.C, Oklahoma's Davin Joseph and Charles Spencer of Pittsburgh. On the defensive side of the ball, Mario Williams is the subject of trade talks as seemingly every NFL team, outside of Houston, would like to land the N.C. State junior. The Rich lands native could go as high as two to New Orleans or as low as eight to Buffalo. The most likely spot for him to land, save any trades, would be Green Bay, which has the fifth pick. What a team would be getting in Williams, who is drawing com- parisons to Carolina's Julius Pep- pers, is a pure pass rusher with a huge upside. Although he can be ineffective at times against the run, he was second in the ACC in tackles for a loss and led the con- ference in sacks this past season with 13. At 6-feet-7-inches and 290 pounds, Williams is a freak of nature with incredible quickness of the ball and a 40-time of 4.7. Once Williams is off the board, it's not like the talent is gone from the defensive line. Oregon's Haloti Ngata is a solid run-stuffer at 6-feet-5-inches and 340 pounds. He is in the mold of Sam Adams, Gilbert Brown or Ted Washington. When I say, in the mold of, 1 mean in the style of play and his size, but not his shape. Ngata possesses the size, speed and athleticism rarely found in a 340-pound nose tackle. In a 3-4 defense, like Cleveland's or Buffalo's, Ngata would be a perfect fit to eat up two blockers while freeing up the linebackers. While Ngata and Williams are sure-fire first-rounders, there are quite a few other defensive see TACKLES page B6 Vitale remains a force, on and off the court (KRT) Dick Vitale marched through the hallways of Lake Worth Medical Center with a purpose. Leading his crew of two (Howie Schwab of Stump the Schwabfame and a Texas sportswriter of no fame), Vitale was determined to get to the emergency room. His ever-present smile was gone. He actually was almost quiet. Vitale's usual on-air part- ner, Dan Schulman, had just undergone emergency surgery for appendicitis, and Vitale was almost frantic wondering how Schulman was doing. At each door or counter, people tried to stop him. They all failed. Either by charm or bluster, Vitale led his mini-army to the emergency recovery room, where a doctor met them at the door. "You can't go in, Dick he said. "He needs his rest Vitale was no longer quiet. "He needs his friends, doc; these guys are close to him For the record, Schwab works with Schulman. The writer? He's never met him. The doctor however, held (fairly) firm. "Just one visitor, Dick, that's it Vitale went in alone, but several minutes later returned to the waiting room and almost physically pushed Schwab in. "Show him he has support he demanded. Another doctor turned to the writer and shook his head. "And that is Dick in a nut- shell. You guys shouldn't have gotten past the first counter, but when he's got something on his mind, you might as well get out of his way. He's more of a force than any player or coach he has ever covered Having breakfast with Dick Vitale is like watching the newest version of King Kong. It's enter- taining, almost impossible to take your eyes off, but you find yourself wondering if it's ever going to end. The man doesn't know how to say no. Every 30 seconds some- body walks up and asks him if he'd mind signing an autograph, or posing for a picture. And he never turns anybody away. "Why would I do that?" he asks. "I've had every break in the world to get where 1 am, and the reason I am successful is because of the fans. I'm not going to destroy that by refusing to get involved with the public Here's a Cliffs Notes version of a Vitale breakfast. Take a bite, pose for a picture, take a quick phone call, eat two bites, sign three autographs . . . repeat. To everybody, he's upbeat and kind, offering opinions if any- body asks (and sometimes when they don't), teasing everybody who approaches him, and at one point, holding a 2-year-old on his lap as the boy's father gets out his camera. Right before the flash, Vitale holds the child up and says loud enough for everybody a block away to hear, "It's a diaper dandy BABY "What you see on the air from Dick is what you get says Schwab. "There's no fakeness there. He is every bit as enthusi- astic as he appears to be. "And yet, at the same time, if you listen, reaHy listen his insights are spot-on For all his bluster and some- times outrageous outbursts, that's the biggest thing to remember about Vitale. He is as passionate about college basketball as any- body. To him, "it's the greatest sport there is "I love the talent of the play- ers in the NBA Vitale said. "But there's not much passion in the game. Same thing with any pro sport, I think, until maybe the playoffs. "College football is great, but if you start out 1-2 or 1-3, the season is over. Even if you lose one game, you're probably not going to win the national cham- pionship. "But college basketball? Your team can be under .500 in late February and still win a national title. It's doubtful but possible. And what could be more awesome than that?" Before anybody can appreci- ate what Dick Vitale has achieved, and what he might still achieve, they should understand where he came from. There was a time in his life he was a heartbeat from being a half-blind, high school dropout with no prospects and no hope. "I was a mess he said. "I really didn't know what I was going to do with my life, and honestly, probably didn't care much. Thank God I have people who loved me in my life Raised in New Jersey, Vitale played basketball until a child- hood accident caught up with him. Vitale lost an eye when he was a child, and although the vision in the eye was destroyed, he was able to deal with it through most of his formative years. But the eye became infected in his junior year of high school and the result was not what you'd expect of the Vitale everybody now knows. "It made me give up for a while he said. "I couldn't play basketball and I wasn't a great stu- dent, so I figured I might as well drop out and just get a job. "But my mother wouldn't hear of it. She sat me down and in a not-so-gentle tone told me I was going to go to college and get a degree and make something of myself. She wouldn't hear of me doing anything different. "I was so lucky as a kid grow- ing up. My father gave me an incredible work ethic and my mother gave me belief in things beyond myself. Not everybody is so lucky Still, he wasn't convinced. It wasn't until his high school coach, Ken Sinofsky, used a kind of shock therapy on him ("he slammed me against the wall, slapped me, and called me an idiot for throwing my life away") that Vitale realized that tough love, was, after all, love. "I woke up and got a bit smarter. 1 learned from them, and see VITALE page 85 No. 11 seed George Mason celebrates it's upset win over UNC. Mid-majors leave brackets in shambles Small schools having a large impact (KRT) After pulling Sun- day's most surprising NCAA Tournament upset, the Bradley Braves hurdled the Palace of Auburn Hill scorer's table to hug and high-five their fans. All around the country, fans wanted a little face time with Bradley's players, too. But those exchanges would be more confrontation thancelebra- tion, with fist knocks replaced by fists to the chops. Chances are the Braves led a multitude of mid-major teams this weekend that busted your bracket predic- tions. And if you had any Big Ten teams in your Final Four, you're toast. With Ohio State's 70-52 loss to Georgetown on Sunday (the Hoyas play Florida Friday at 9:40 p.m. EST in Minneapolis in a regional semifinal), the entire Big Ten was bounced from the tournament by the Sweet 16 for the first time since 1996. Although the tournament's four No. 1 seeds advanced to the Sweet 16 for the second straight year, other favorites found this Road to the Final Four scarier than the freeway at rush hour.

Dick Vitale speaks with Pittsburgh Pirates' manager Jim Tracy prior to a spring training game. other people around me, that love should never be held back. That phrase, "If you love some- body, let it go' kind of applied to my life. My family and friends didn't let me go, but they made me see that they could. And that was enough Vitale woke up, and grew up, quickly. After graduating from high school and Seton Hall (he eventually achieved a masters in education from William Pat- terson College), he coached high school basketball in New Jersey, winning two consecutive state championships. He then was an assistant at Rutgers before becoming head coach at Uni- versity of Detroit. While there, he went 78-30 before eventually getting the job as the Detroit Pistons' head coach. "I learned about being humble in the NBA Vitale jokes. "There were some good reasons we didn't do well, and although I wish I could have gotten more of a chance, it was probably a break that I got fired It probably was. ESPN hired him to be a color analyst, and the rest is history. It's no secret. Dick Vitale lives college basketball. He was the analyst on ESPN's first college basketball broadcast, and it's been an uphill spiral ever since. At the Sarasota restaurant, people want to know how their favorite teams are going to do. Vitale not only tells them what he thinks, he tells them why he thinks it. In more detail than they probably wanted. But what might be a surprise to learn, the sport is only third on his list of priorities. He has an incredible house in the Sarasota, Fla area. More than 12,000 square feet, with a huge pool, an enormous yard and countless rooms. Televisions are on almost every wall (he says he's never been on all of them at once because his wife won't allow it) and where there is space, there are pictures, pictures and more pictures. Some are Vitale with presi- dents, celebrities and sports stars. But most are shots of his family. His wife, children and grandchildren are No. 1 in his personal rankings. "Without family, we're noth- ing he says. "1 learned that as a child and have carried it through my life. I've come so far from when I was a kid and am thank- ful for that. I'm able to live a great life and have whatever I want. "But what I truly want is for my family to be happy and secure forever. THAT is what I want my legacy to be. Not the fact that I was a somewhat well- known television guy His devotion to things close to him isn't restricted to his family, however. He co-chairs the Jimmy V. Foundation (with Mike Krzyzewski and John Saunders), which is one of the most promi- nent organizations in the battle against cancer. "This illness has to be wiped out Vitale says, his voice drop- ping well below its usual level. "So many people are devastated by it, and not just the ones who are ill. It destroys lives; it destroys families If you think Vitale is fanatical about basketball, you have no idea just how fanatical he can be. The Jimmy V. Foundation has raised more than $50 million, but it's only a starting point. "I can't even begin to tell people how important beating this disease is to me Vitale says. "I truly believe that everybody should help, if they're able, because the chances are, cancer will affect somebody you know or love In addition to his hard work, Vitale fights the battle against cancer with his own finances. Portions of the profits from Dick Vitale merchandising (you can buy Vitale basketballs, bobbleheads, books, "diaper dandy" clothes for babies and everr a clock radio with "WAKE UP BABY. . . . IT'S AN AWESOME DAY") go to the foundation. Critics of Dick Vitale (and there are a lot of them) have several complaints. They think his enthusiasm is false, his knowledge is limited, he's too loud, etc etc. But the big- gest consistent criticism is that he's in Duke coach Mike Krzyze- wski's pocket. There's not much that makes Vitale angry, but that does. "I've heard that for years and I almost never respond to it because it's garbage he says. "But you know what? I'm going to tell you what I think of it. "First, what's not to like? Duke wins, it wins the right way, the kids get degrees and there aren't many off-court incidents. Are they always right? Absolutely not. And if they're wrong, I'll be the first to say it Perception usually depends on what people want to see. Vitale might cover three Texas or Connecticut games in a season and eight or nine Duke games. ESPN has decided that the Blue Devils are a rating bonanza, so the network schedules Vitale to cover more of their games. And in most of those, the Blue Devils win. So the viewer is seeing Vitale praise Duke for seven or eight games, as opposed to two or three for the Longhorns or Huskies. "I have great respect for Mike and his team Vitale said. "I won't apologize for it. But to say that 1 favor them over any other team just isn't right. I have no direct ties He has an indirect one since Krzyzewski is one of his co-chairs for the Jimmy V. Foundation, but he tries not to let that color his broadcasts. "Does Coach K mess up sometimes?" he asks. "1 thinkso. But he's in the Hall of Fame and I'm not, so maybe I'm wrong. But I can honestly say I have no root- ing interest, except that a good performance by Duke is good for college basketball. There always has to be a team people love to hate. The New York Yankees or Notre Dame in football with- out them their sports wouldn't have as much passion. And Duke does add that to college basket- ball, love it or hate it The same might be said of Vitale. People aren't neutral on him, either loving him or not being able to stand him. But like Krzyzewski, he's identified with college basketball. Vitale was recently nominated for the Bas- ketball Hall of Fame and, while he might be elected this year, it should be inevitable, considering his impact on the game. With or without Duke. There is nobody as passionate about the sport as Vitale and very few people as knowledgeable. And yet, there is a generation of fans that believes he's all sizzle and no steak. His loudness and ESPN shtick at times camouflages exactly how insightful he is about the game and the people who play and coach it. "Everybody has their own taste ESPN broadcaster Jay Bilas said at the Maui Invitational last November. "And to some people, they look at Dick and see one thing. But I can flat out tell you that nobody in this business understands the game the way he does. I've learned a lot from listening to him, really listening. And as for the complaints that he's a shill and a fake, it is the furthest thing from the truth. He's the ultimate professional Vitale doesn't usually see a need to defend himself, but in this case, he does. "If you want to say I'm too loud, fine he says. "If you want to say I look at the game with rose-colored glasses, also fine. I'm my own toughest critic. I second-guess myself constantly and sometimes feel that I am too soft on players or coaches. "But nobody has ever said that I'm not prepared for a game or don't know what's going on. I'll always fight that criticism The game Vitale loves has its ups and downs, something he's more than aware of. "The Internet has hurt the sport he says. "One of the worst things ever conceived, at least to me, is chat rooms. I think it's great that fans, true fans, have a place to talk about their favorite players, their games, all that stuff. But so many of those rooms are just negative pits. Players, who, remember, are still kids, are ripped like they are pros. Coaches, who have done amaz- ing things, these so-called fans demand that they be fired. "It doesn't matter that none of those "fans" would have the first clue on how to coach a team on the court and even less of an idea how to deal with athletes off the court he adds. "But, hey, just fire the coach or verbally attack a kid. That will solve it The invasion of AAU basket- ball into the college game also has created problems. "Nothing is all bad Vitale says. "There are more players that are college-ready now because of AAU play. Kids learn how to deal with playing at tough places and they get used to great competition. "But there are always the guys who think they can go a step above. Guys who will try to convince their players not to go to a certain school because of personality prob- lems, or worse, shoe contract disputes. I gotta wonder when the kids became the second-most important thing in the game, besides money And yet "Nothing is perfect Vitale said. "And, yes, college basketball has problems. "But they're fixable prob- lems, and they're being worked on. And for whatever is the matter with the sport, it doesn't even begin to balance what's right about it. And that's one reason why I'm planning on sticking around for as long as they'll have me And that's awesome. PAGE B6 THE EAST CAROLINIAN SPORTS 3-22-06 TdCKlBS from page B4 linemen who will be drafted on day one of the draft, which is April 28. The Florida State pair of Kamerion Wimbley and Brodrick Bunkley should come off the board within the first 30 picks. Wimb- ley, a 6-foot-4-inch, 245-pound end, wowed scouts at the combine and could get moved to outside linebacker in the NFL, while Bunkley is just a beast in the middle. He led the ACC in tackles for a loss with 23 in 2005. His stock went up at the combine when he impressed teams with his strength, putting up 44 reps of 225 pounds on the bench press. He should go in the first round, with the Cincinnati Bengals and the 24th pick being a very strong pos- sibility for the 6-foot-3-inch, 285-pound Bunkley. Defensive end Tamba Hali, from Penn State is another possible first-rounder and 1 have him rated as the number three end in the draft, behind Wimbley and Williams. Hali, a native of war-torn Liberia wants a big NFL contract so that he can afford to move his family to the U.S. That shouldn't be a problem for the 6-foot-3-inch, 267-pound Hali, who has been WTeaking havoc on Big Ten quarterbacks for the last four years. Another end to keep an eye on is Boston College's Matthias Kiwanuka, who had a knee injury in 2005, compounded by a cheap-shot, late low block from a Virginia offensive lineman. Despite that injury, Kiwa- nuka has responded well in workouts and it's hard to ignore a guy who is 6-feet-7-inches, 262 pounds, has been compared to Simeon Rice and Jason Taylor and is the school record holder for sacks. A native of Uganda, Kiwanuka's grandfather was elected as the country's first prime minister in 1961 before being assassinated in 1972. Other ends that should disappear from draft boards on day one are Virginia Tech's Darryl Tapp, N.C. State's Manny Lawson, Indiana's Victor Adey- anju, Mark Anderson from Alabama, Stanley McClo- ver from Auburn and Georgia Tech's Eric Henderson. Joining Ngata and Bunkley as day one draft picks will be LSU's Claude Wroten, Orien Harris from Miami, Florida, Michigan's Gabe Watson, Jesse Mahelona of Tennessee, Montavious Stanley from Louisville, Virginia Tech's Jonathan Lewis, Rod Wright from Texas and N.C. State's John McCargo. This is the first in a series of draft previews. Next week I will preview the linebackers. The NFL Draft is April 28-29 in New York City.

StiambleS from page B4 Mason delivered the knockout blow, eliminat- ing North Carolina and setting up an all-under- dog clash with the Shockers on Friday night. Throw in Gonzaga and Memphis, high seeds from low-rated conferences, and the Patriots are one of five mid-majors in the Sweet 16, the most since 1993. "If you had told me two weeks ago we'd be in the Sweet 16 GMU guard Tony Skinn told si.com, "I would have said, 'What's wrong with you?' " How about those experts? On last weekend's selection show, CBS commentators Jim Nantz and Billy Packer blasted the selection committee for their at-large choices. They questioned the worthiness of schools like Bradley and George Mason, wondering how they could be better than the ACC's Florida State or the Big East's Cincinnati. George Mason's supporters in Dayton remem- bered the lack of love. In the final seconds of their team's victory over the Tar Heels and Friday's upset of Michigan State, fans chanted "Bil-ly Pack-er to mock the veteran broadcaster. As the day ended, the CBS team in Philadelphia acknowledged their mistake. "They've proven a lot of people wrong Nantz said on the air about the mid-majors, "including two sitting here courtside "Good point Packer said. The upsets didn't stick to mid-majors. North- western State, the Southland Conference champ and No. 14 seed sent home No. 3 Iowa in the Atlanta Region's first round. But maybe no team shook up opening weekend like the Braves, a 9-7 team in mid-January that entered the Missouri Valley Conference tournament seeded fifth. They looked nothing like that team this weekend, dumping No. 4 seed Kansas and No. 5 seed Pittsburgh. Bradley and Wichita State give the MVC two teams among the final 16 for the first time. George Mason's run gives the Colonial Athletic Association its first Sweet 16 team since Richmond in 1988. No one, however, captured the spirit of the weekend like Patriots Coach Jim Larranaga. After an hour of interviews and accepting congratulations, he paused at the door of his team's locker room and began to dance. He danced for joy. He danced for the chance to play in the Sweet 16.
