According to Peter Romary, director of student legal services, North Carolina law defines stalk- ing by three main factors. The first factor is intentionally following, being in the presence of or harassing another individual by phone calls, fax, e-mail or gifts on more than one occasion. The second important factor is making that person fear for their life or for a family member's or close associate's life by making them fear death, bodily injury or more harassment. Causing another individual severe emotional distress is the third factor that defines stalking by N.C law. About 13 percent of female col- lege students have been victims of stalking and about 42.5 percent of the reported cases were committed by boyfriends or ,eJ$-boyfriends, according to Romary.

Classmates attempt about SJ4.5 percent of stalking instances and 10.3 percent are by acquain- tances. The relationships formed on these types of Web sites could end up deadly if you don't limit the amount of information you give others. According to Romary, Taylor Belli, a student at Virginia Com- monwealth University, was mur- dered her freshman year by some- one she met on MySpace. When Robbie Johnson, ECU elementary education major, was asked whether or not he felt stalk- ing was a big problem at ECU, he responded yes. Johnson said that his reason for saying yes was because of the use of Web sites like Facebook and MySpace. Johnson also said that he feels that the risk of stalking is greater for females than males, and that one of his female friends was stalked by someone that she met on MySpace. Even after admitting that he knew someone wljo was stalked by the information that was listed on one of these Web sites, Johnson said that he has a user account for both sites.

Conley students and parents recently at ECU. John Stiller works with high school students in Greenville ADELINE TRENTO STAFF WRITKR After meeting while walking their dogs, John Stiller, a biology professor at ECU, and Kathy Powell, a high school science teacher, decided to work togetl ler to bring college biology to high school students in Greenville. The program, which began in 2004, came out of a grant that Stiller received from the National Science Foundation. Stiller received a career investiga- tor award, from which he was given live years of support to develop an integrated teaching and research pro- gram. From this grant, Stiller devel- oped an undergraduate course that allowed his students to have a more hands on, research based approach to learning molecular biology. Unlike most college science classes, this course did not just teach students how to use techniques and tools. Instead it taught them to plan a proj- ect, develop a real research question and come up with an answer at the end. "The biggest problem biology is facing today is that techniques are getting to be so driven by technology" said Stiller. "So many people come into class really excited about the technology, but not thinking alxjut how to apply it to the world around them. We tend to reinforce that in our teaching with canned labs and work- books that produce predetermined results. What is not lieing conveyed is that science is a process of discovery After seeing how successful the hands on approach was with under- graduates, Stiller decided to use this technique at the high school level. He teamed up with Karen Powell to use this method on her advanced placement students at D.H. oConley High School in Greenville. The program begun during the spring semester, after the students had been introduced to DNA and molecular biology. This way they had a basic understanding of the way molecular biology works, the key terms and the structure of DNA. Using equipment brought in from die labs at ECU, diestudentsdid genetic typing on bacteria growing in their every day environment 'Hie students grew bacteria, determined die DNA of die bacteria ami then entered the DNA of their bacteria into die computer to be compared with die national database. "Basically the students went from square one of isolating an organism, to the method of getting a gene, ana- lyzing the gene, getting a sequence, analyzing the sequence and deter- mining what they could infer from their findings Stiller said. By starting at square one, the students are involved in all areas of the experiment and are therefore The iPod is now a mainstay on almost every college campus due to the ease with which information is transferred. Podcasts integrate into college life and blogs in a major way see TEACHING page A2 V (MCT) Since their introduc- tion in '2001, iPods have become so ubiquitous that it's rare to go a day without spotting someone sport- ing the trademark white earphones in the gym, on a city bus or walk- ing down the sidewalk. Podcasts made for the digi- tal media players have become increasingly popular and diverse also, even becoming commonplace on college campuses across the country as a way for professors to broadcast lessons outside of a classroom. But now students, who are usually on the audience end of a podcast, are turning the tables and using the medium as a way to have their voices heard. Dennis R. Miller, director of public relations at Pennsylvania's Mansfield University, decided last year that the best way to give prospective students and incoming freshmen an uncensored look at college life was to create a pod- cast for them using the voices of real students in a show he called "Freshmen Secrets Revealed" (http:podcast.mansfield.edu). "I just got the sense that this i 1 new medium was just taking off like crazy after the iPod was the number one Christmas gift last year Miller said. "The beauty of it is that it captures students in their own words, and you can listen to it without being limited by time or any other type of constraint Eden Hartwell, a sophomore at Mansfield, was one of the students who spoke about her early college experiences on Miller's podcast. She grew to enjoy the production aspects of creating the show and moved on to helping edit and mix the podcast. "The production became sort of a hobby, and I've gotten good feedback about the project Hart- well said. "I think it's a success and a good way to be heard. I'd like to continue doing it "A lot of existing studio applica- tions were modeled after programs made for professional musicians said Michael Levy, co-founder of Equicast Media, the company that developed WildVoice. "This is designed to be easier to use than those, for a more casual user who wants to have some fun Many amateur podcasts take the form of audio blogs, where students can air their thoughts on current events, art, culture or per- sonal experiences. WildVoice also allows students to use podcasting as a form of social networking, where users can choose to make their podcasts available to the general public, or to a specified group of friends and "fans They can also create their own profiles and organize favorite podcasters and types of content into personal- ized "channels Pluggd (pluggd.com) is another recently launched site that allows users to browse pod- casts, share opinions and create Web sites around their favorites, although it does not allow mem- bers to post their own podcasts. Community sites that combine social networking and blogs with the new technology of podcast- ing provide amateur podcasters with a new type of hybrid hosting site, according to WildVoice user Jimmy Daulton, a sophomore at the State University of New York Stony Brook who goes by the handle "Jinibolito News WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 20, 2006 PAGE A2 Campus & Community CORRECTIONS The East Carolinian is dedicated to accuracy and will correct errors printed in the newspaper. A caption for the article "The gas is greener that ran on Sep. 14 Incorrectly stated that Student Transit buses had converted to gasohol. Gasohol is being used in campus operations vehicles and equipment, but Student Transit buses are not running on biodiesel. A continuing rise in diesel prices coupled with other factors has made a conversion to biodiesel too costly. With Student Transit buses burning about 120,000 gallons of fuel per year, the increase in cost would amount to about $30,000 per year, according to Scott Alford, transit adviser for the Student Transit Authority.

The State Board of Elections last month ordered a new elec- tion in their 10th House District after some voting irregularities and some possible problems with at least one new voting machine during the May 2 primary election. Starling, a retired federal government worker from Wayne County who lost to LaRoque in 2004, was also campaigning Monday, knocking on doors, even at homes where LaRoque signs are erected. "I'm an eternal optimist Star- ling said. "My message is getting across to people The winner won't have much time to rest. Democrat Van Brax- ton, a Kinston city councilman, is TEACHING continued from Al more interested in the results and the reasons why they got those results. Stiller believes that with this learn- ing styie the students will realize that science is not just about learning techniques. Instead, they will see it is about learning how to apply these methods to their everyday life. "As the students get to see more results, they get to see the practical output of what they have been doing in the lab and the more excited they get Stiller said. "When they find something they didn't expect they start to ask questions. They ask, well why is this organism in my school? Where did it come from? How did it get here?' That is when the real learning and the real understanding of biology happens Stiller believes it is beneficial for the students to learn these things at the high school level. In order for students to want to study biology in college, they have to be stimulated and interested in high school. "Krom these experiments students are left puzzling, thinking and research- ing questions that they had never tlKxight to ask in the first place, and that is what makes good science. That is what excites people into becoming research- ers and scientists Stiller said. This program has had a great response from the students who have been involved in it. According to e-mails that Stiller and Powell have received, past students have said that this high school class helped them immensely in college Most students from the 2004 class didrrtrealize how much they had actually learned from the hands-on experience until they got to college. These students found they were more knowledgeable and more able to understand their science classes than their classmates. "Some of my students have gone on to college and majored in bio- logical science, one in biotechnol- ogy Powell said. "I have another student, now a senior, that is enrolled in our honors medical program. She will be conducting research at the hospital that requires her to do the techniques that she has already learned through this partnership Stiller plans to continue this program in the future. He hopes to expand this program to all high schools in Pitt County and eventually to all high schools in North Carolina.

Worst off are American Indian men in swaths of South Dakota, who die around age 58, three decades sooner. Where you live, combined with race and income, plays a huge role in the nation's health disparities, dif- ferences so stark that a report issued Monday contends it's as if there are eight separate Americas instead of one. North Carolina ranked 40th among the states with an aver- age life expectancy of 75.8 years. Hawaii led the nation with an aver- age life expectancy of 80. Health disparities are widely considered an issue of minorities and the poor being unable to find or afford good medical care. Mur- ray's county-by-county compari- son of life expectancy shows the problem is far more complex, and that geography plays a crucial role. Consider: The longest-living whites weren't the relatively wealthy, which Murray calls "Middle America They're edged out by low-income residents of the rural Northern Plains states, where the men tend to reach age ;6 and the women 88. Top Waffle Eater Breaks His Own Record (AP) A California man ate 23 waffles in 10 minutes to break his own world record at the 2006 Waffle House World Waffle-Eating Championships in Georgia. Joey Chestnut's gluttonous feat broke his record of 18.5 waffles set at last year's competition, the Waffle House restaurant chain said in a release. The 22-year-old San Jose, Cal- ifornia, college student is ranked second in the world by the Inter- national Federation of Competitive Eating, behind Takeru "the Tsu- nami" Kobayashi of Nagano, Japan, the Los Angeles Times reported. The Waffle House said Chest- nut faced a strong challenge from Sonya Thomas, a iOO pound Vir- ginia woman who holds 27 world titles. She ate 21 waffles, while Chip Simpson rising rookie on the eating circuit, consumed 18. Chestnut collected $5,000 for his win and the remaining $2,500 in prizes was split among Thomas and Simpson, the Waffle House said. Man It ,ii n Ankle Monitor for Burger (AP) A St. Paul, Minn man trying to outrun the alarm count- down on his ankle monitoring device kicked in a drive-through window when he wasn't served fast enough. Randy Farrell Bailey, serving an in-home sentence for a drunk driving conviction, craved Burger King and thought he could drive the three blocks, get his food and return home; all before the four- minute delay on his alarm went off, police said. At the drive through he demanded a burger and fries, using foul language and acting tense, assistant manager Danielle Weaver told the St. Paul Pioneer Press. When she asked him to control his language, Bailey pulled up to the window, got out of his car and kicked the window in, witnesses told police. He then drove home; all under four minutes. He later told police he was innocent because his ankle brace- let confined him to 150 feet of his home. Police later learned about the four-minute delayrand" charged Bailey with felony crimi- nal destruction of property. U.S. Cellular gets me so I can always get the score.

ECU is implementing meth- ods to remedy the problem and in addition, legal action can he taken if you encounter this problem. The first step you should take if you fear that you're being stalked is contact the police immediately. A warrant should he issued against the person you suspect is stalking you, which will give them a Class 1A misdemeanor if it's their first offense, according to Romary. Subsequent offenses will lead to a Class F felony and a Class H felony if they ignore a restraining order that is filed against them. The administration at ECU is also takinga firm stanceof attempt- ing to prevent stalking crimes. "There are now moves to update and improve protocols which will be a multi-pronged approach involving education, enforcement, effectively identi- fying resources for students and making sure that there is effective communication around campus said Komary. Compared to other universi- ties, ECU has lower instances of stalking, according to Romary. "ECU, unlike some universi- ties, has great resources to deal with these issues but nothing can be done if people don't report it Romary said.

(MCT) It's the sort of case you might expect Encyclopedia Brown to tackle. Two kids seem to have cheated on Professor Harpp's final exam. Can he prove the culprits did it before it's too late? But when McGill Univer- sity professor David Harpp sus- pected some of his students were up to no good, he didn't hire a boy detective for a shiny new quarter. He did the job himself. He devised a statistical method to determine whether two students were copying test answers from each other. He found that, on a 98 question multiple choice test, the pair of students had 97 answers exactly the same, including '23 wrong answers. Confronted with the evidence, the students confessed. "We had always worried that cheating was happening, but we had to find a way to figure out who was doing it said Chris McManus, a professor of psychol- ogy and medical education at University College London who hunts cheaters Caveon used several methods to look for bad behavior. But the most common problem it found was classrooms or schools where a group of students had identical or nearly identical answer sheets, suggesting they may have copied from one another. That method of detecting cheating has a long history and, according to researchers in the field, does a good job of identify- ing the right suspects. And those researchers say Texas could do a better job of preventing students from cheating in the first place. Having lots of identical correct answers, of course, doesn't raise red flags. If the correct answer to Question 21 is "B you'd expect many students to choose it. But students who get many questions wrong in exactly the same way, particularly if few other class- mates made the same mistakes, can be a sign something is up. The suspects had 31, 28, 25 and 17 wrong answers, respec- tively, in common. The average for the rest of the class: only four. The students denied cheat- ing at first, but three "quickly confessed guilt when confronted with the evidence the paper's author wrote. Dr. Harpp is a chemistry professor at McGill, one of the most prestigious universities in Canada. He didn't know much about cheating research in 1989, when one of his students told him that two peers had shared answers on a final exam. "I felt I was being ripped off, which I was Dr. Harpp said. The student worried about being a rat. But he agreed to tell Dr. Harpp the suspects' names on the condition that no disci- plinary action would be taken based solely on his accusation. Dr. Harpp had to find a statistical way to detect copycats.

WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 20,2006 PAGE A4 lnion Not just for Pirate Rants A brief history of ECU student privacy BENJAMIN CORMACK OPINION WRITER There has been a big uproar as of late about privacy issues with Web sites like Facebook and MySpace in regards to how easily people can learn information about a person, including information that may not wish to be known. My only response to this issue is a heavily emphasized and drawn out, "DUH I've always been hesitant to use sites like MySpace and especially Facebook because of how open they are to public view. Call me crazy, but I don't want my life to be on display for the campus and especially the 3 whole world to view. I think people fail to understand that with the Internet the more you wish to express yourself, the less privacy you have. Of course Facebook is not the first thing ECU students have had issues with regard- ing privacy and information. About four years ago, OneCards had stu- dent ID numbers on them. The problem was that the student ID numbers are usually the same as a student's social security number. If you lost your OneCard back then, you had a lot more to worry about than losing all your Piratebucks. Thankfully though, ECU changed this and even offered free replace- ments for cards with numbers on them. Most of you probably remember the fiasco over the Higher One program when it was first started. People were in an uproar when they heard about all the personal infor- mation that was given to the Higher One financial services company by the school. It should be known though that most of this anger was due in part to a feeling of lack of consent from the students. However, I still think there are problems with how ECU utilizes personal information. A few weeks ago I found a fellow student's schedule and receipt for payment just lying on the ground. Their name, ID number and home address were clearly on it, and a birth- day, minus the exact year, is easily found with a search on Piratemail. In the end, I had more information on this individual than I probably should have. I've even tried to return the schedule I found to the owner, but I have not heard back from them. That's why 1 always blackout every sig- nificant piece of personal information that shows up, and can usually be found, on every piece of mail that I get from ECU. Of course, you can't blame ECU for how they utilize students' personal information. Several colleges around the country utilize systems similar to those like Piratemail and even use the same Higher One program to organize the sheer number of students that attend college. I just would like to see the use of personal information toned down a bit. Instead of birthdays being used as part of student e-mail addresses, I think just using names and some form of specific school iden- tification would be better. Even people with the same name can be further identified and specified with numbers at the end. Also, I think student ID numbers should be different from social security numbers. It is true that students would have to memorize a completely new number, but I think that is a small price to pay for identity security. Just remember that ultimately you have final say in how your information is used. PIRATE RANTS When preachers cross the line They have a right to freedom of speech, but are they effective? RYAN COBEY OPINION WRITER What do you get when you cross three fire and brimstone preaching ministers with a Muslim and '20 college students? Contro- versy at its finest. The sounds of attempted salvation and retribution rang across campus last Wednes- day, grabbing the attention of passerby and herding them in a half-circle around a group of preachers outside of Joyner Library. How- ever, it seemed that these men were doing a bit more than just reciting the "word of God I was pondering not even attending one class just so I could observe how we as stu- dents interpret this, but thankfully the same guy was preaching on the exact same topic when I got out of my class an hour later. And it wasn't only students; I saw a few of my teachers listening in as well. Not being a huge reader of the Bible, I per- sonally didn't have much to contribute. How- ever, when one preacher in particular began to judge a Muslim student simply based on his belief, I began to consider the completely igno- rant one-sided views some of these men have. I heard this one specific preacher tell a Muslim student that his belief "is false The man did not even stop for one second to consider the diverse group of people stand- ing around him. He had his belief, he had his "faith" as he liked to call it, and because of this so-called faith, he judged people as being completely wrong simply because they did not believe the exact same thing he did. To top it all off, he called one particular student an "animal This student had to be taken away by authorities for physically pushing the preacher. And despite it being a completely idiotic idea to attempt a fight with a preacher, I don't know if I blame him very much for doing it. After sitting through an hour and a half of this, I had to talk to someone about it. I immediately rushed home to discuss it with one of my roommates, who is very devout in his Christian faith, just to see what he would say. His response was a short, simple and pleasantly surprising "those people are what give Christians a bad name From what you've already read, I'm sure you'd find it surprising that I am a Christian myself, who regularly attends church on Sun- days. However, that is the truth, at least that's how I see myself. I believe in god, I believe in the messiah, but just because I don't believe every single piece of information in the Holy Bible, I am on a one-way trip to Hell accord- ing to the preachers who judged me last week. So where is the fine line that divides obsession and belief? Where is the cutoff point where faith begins to make you disre- gard every single other option or belief in the world? How are there even people left in this diverse world of ours that still have such a one-track mind? And more impor- tantly, what do they think they're going to possibly accomplish by preaching to college students? We are people who are here for the sole purpose of learning more about the world around us, and becoming more open to new ideas and concepts. If anything, these preachers at least give us a topic to argue on. But if I learned any- thing from an hour and a half of pointless sermons, it was that there is absolutely no possible way to argue with a person who is too closed-minded to see any other side but his own. Can someone tell me a good time to go to the gym? I mean, without having to fight the anorexics for the ellipticals. Why does every 1-A college in North Carolina pretend to be a football school? Why does everyone make smooch faces in pictures its weird. You have no idea how annoying it is to be sitting somewhere quietly and all of a sudden, you hear scuffling noises because someone's too lazy to pick up their feet. God gave you feet so use them instead of dragging them across the campus or in the basement. And if you simply can't do that, then perhaps you weren't meant to wear sandals, slippers or any type of shoe that's heavier. Stop unscrewing the lights in the Jones elevator! Three need to be on at all times. All I know is if you don't have a ticket for the WVU game, you better get it quick 'cuz this game will sell out. Nice work Pirates. Five interceptions deserve congratulations. I heard that when you come to class and the teacher is not there a professor is allowed up to 15 minutes to be late before you leave and a doctor gets 30 minutes. So what do we give graduate students? I want those nifty e-mails from the university saying what is going on on- campus that week back! All I want obvious? is you. Isn't it JUST ASK JANE Need advice? Want answers? Just ask Jane. Why do professors insist on using all this new technology, like Eduspace and the response pads in the classroom when they don't even know how to use it themselves? Hey thanks, thanks for that summer. I think 90 percent of the student body here wears rainbows andor smokes. Where are all the computer nerds and such on campus? Geeks are hot. Tip your servers well! To the girl on the bus yesterday that said my boyfriend is too cute for me, you must be jealous because you will never get a guy like him. Remember, he is with me and not with you! The stupid frats on campus made it so Cars did not show on Sunday. They always ruin everything. They all look like clones anyways. I still have fun laughing at them and the game my friends and me play! Pirate Rants are allowing me to not study. I love them so much! Why does Victoria Secret have a line named Pink when half the stuff isn't pink in color? To the person bashing the PIRATEARRGGGGG cheer, why? It is FIRST DOWN - PIRATESARRRRRGGG! It keeps the team excited and also involves everyone. If you don't like it, then don't come to the game because you are just bringing negative feelings and that is not helping. ARRRRGGGG! Whose smart idea was it to change the Gold bus route? Now there is no way for us poor souls who live on the Hill to get there from central campus when it's raining outside. Nice of you to think of everyone in your decision. Thanks a lot! OK, so the new LAHN building is great with the Laupus Library and the high tech equipment. But, you know what? It's just too far from east campus. I miss that sense of community! Why aren't the Pirate Rants online? They used to be! Bring them back, please. I can't always get my hands on a paper copy of the TEC. No, I did not like the PIRATE ARRGGGGG one bit. Please bring back PURPLEGOLD. And folks, please wear purple or gold to the games. It's a college football game, not a fashion show. Stop eating so much and complaining your pills made you gain weight it's your eating habits. Stop eating everything fried six times a day and complaining to me about it. I'd feel sick too. I hate what you're doing to me too, and even though you hate that you're doing it you're not doing anything about it, and I don't hate you for it but I do realize you're not who I thought you were. I don't even know that person any more. What's wrong with blackboard? Why are ECU football fans so stupid? I bleed purple & gold so it's hard for me to criticize but, you have to know when to make noise! Here's a hint, If our QB is under-center shut up, when their QB is under- center get loud. There's a reason the offense asked us to shut the hell up during a couple possessions (by waiving their arms). The people working in the Mendenhall computer lab need to do their job. I was in there trying to work on something for school and all I could hear was them babbling about what color they should set for their background on MySpace and how they didn't like the mini feed on Facebook. The girl also told me not to answer any phone calls in the lab, yet she continued to watch video clippings, with the sound on, on the internet. Wake me up when September ends. Going in doors and out, going up stairs and down, use the right side please! I am sick of people being so lazy that they go in the left door because it is open, and going up the left side of stairs because they are idiots. Bison are not endangered. They are delicious. Get it right. If a woman holds a door open for you, or even just keeps it open behind her instead of slamming it in your face, maybe you should be appreciative and not chauvinistically refuse to go through said door. You don't see me scowling at all the ladies and gentlemen on campus who are kind enough to open doors for me. I love teachers who lecture for an hour and run out of material and yet still keep you there for another 25 minutes just wasting time because they can. Dear Jane, You know how most students can't get jobs at ECU? Well, I just got one, but I'm embarrassed to tell ail of my friends about it. I'm a new employee of McDonalds, a job I never wanted, but I have to pay my oills somehow. I'm in a sorority here and I'm afraid of what my sisters will think of my low-class, unglamorous job. Should I tell them or just try to keep it hidden? Signed, Newly employed and newly embarrassed Dear newly employed, While I'm not sure how the people around you will react, I do know one thing, people always have been and always will be judgmental. However, your real friends won't care where you work. They'll realize that you have responsibilities and that you're going to take care of them in any way that you can. You shouldn't feel the need to hide where you are working either. When you start trying to lie to the people that you care about, things get tricky and it always ends up coming back and haunting you in the end. So while you don't have to stand on a chair and announce your new job, be honest with your friends and enjoy the new cash flow.

The perfect way to get your "game face on" LIZ FULTON SENIOR WRITER Cheers to the pirates and their victory over Memphis. It looked bleak at the end of the first half, but the boys regrouped and sent the Tigers home with their tail between their legs. With all of the excitement and joy of the Pirates' victory, does your home game experi- ence feel a little empty? It could be that a crucial part of the day scored only sub par on the fun scale causing the rest of the day to plateau. I am, of course, talking about tailgating, something that should be revered as an institution here at ECU. Tail- gating brings together stu- dents, alumni and fans that normally would not congregate together except for their great love of their team. The art to tailgating involves more than just a lounge chair and a beer. There are several dynamics needed to assemble a tailgate that you and your friends will be talking about well into your nursing home years. As a 14 year veteran to attending and tailgating at KCU home games, I have learned that there are three core elements to a top-notch tailgate. The first is location, location, location. Depending on your rowdiness level, different areas around Dowdy-Ficklen attract different kinds of people. The Krisbee golf field next to the baseball stadium and the field at Eppes Middle School are by far the places where the most action is. These are the places where most students stake their claim and come bearing beer pong tables, huge cookers for pigs and all the classic rock you can stomach. Now many of you might skip the second ingredient of tailgat- ing to make room for the third. No judgment here, but believe me when I tell you that there is nothing like a full belly before a football game. The best vittles to tailgate with vary from tailgater to tailgater, but you can never go wrong with Bojangles, Park- ers or KFC. Some of the more established tailgaters will bring their grill, and it is always pos- sible to challenge them to a beer pong game thus defeating them for their hamburgers. Food and a good spot are important, but nothing beats drinking during the day with- out judgment. Beer is always in fashion but it's necessary to gauge the game time with the proper alcoholic beverage. If the game is at noon, then mimosas and Bloody Marys should be on the menu. For a later game. Maker's Mark and ginger ale tastes delicious with the biting air of an October afternoon. As for the classic tailgater, there are several types. There is the guy (or girl) that gets to the field four hours before the game and never leaves his truck bed. They listen to the game on the ladio never making it into the stadium. Another breed is the tailgate floater who hits as many different spots as they can, stealing respectable tail- gaters' beer and chicken legs. There is also the family who has had the same tailgate spot for 15 years and will prob- ably have it for 20 more. They tailgate with the finest food and beverages and stay for the entire game. They also enjoy post tailgating while waiting for the traffic to clear. With the upcoming months bringing Saturdays full of football, make sure to enjoy the sacred art of tailgating. Stay tuned to the Sports section for more information about Pirate Football and other opportunities to cheer your Fighting Pirates to victory.

Do not write on 'The Wall' Couples go crazy about comments MEREDITH STEWART SENIOR WRITER Facebook.com and Myspace. com are two Web sites that most college students recognize and use on a daily basis. You are able to post comments and leave messages on other profiles and learn a great deal about someone else based on their interests, favorites, photos, clubs and other personal informa- tion. You are also able to display your "status which lets people see if you are in a relationship or not, and this is where things go from fun and entertaining to crazy and dramatic. I have actually heard couples fight over the fact that the other person displayed an incorrect status or did not display one at all If you have found yourself in this situation you .should really ask yourself, "Is this argument even worth my time?" That has got to be absolutely ridiculous. Another big issue that couples find themselves dealing with is the photos posted on these Web sites. If they are "tagged others can click and see who is in the picture. "I saw a girl who I thought I was dating in a picture on Face- book with many other guys look- ing like she was having a little too much fun. I would have never thought she was that way until I saw the rest of the pictures that were tagged to her name. I con- fronted her about it and she acted like it was no big deal and said I was overreacting. I did not talk to Walking down the boardwalk in downtown Wilmington can be a great escape.

For returning students, you may notice a few changes. Over the summer Cafe Caribe shut its doors and Sunday night salsa lessons were lost for- ever. Fear not, because surely a new hotspot will arrive soon. Also occurring over the summer was the transformation of The Cavern into The Phoenix.

The Other Place should also be a spot on your travels if for no other reason but the incomparable DJ Charlie Mac. Not only can he sing a mean beach music tune, but he'll normally play anything you want. For the financially challenged, the best night to go out is Tuesday. Start your night at Boli's with their famous mug night. For either $1 or $2, your mug will be tilled with the finest ales. There is also always live music to sing along with Pantana Bob's has $5 all you can drink of their draft beer, also on Tuesdays.

A guide to a quick and fun weekend escape JENNY AYERS STAFF WRITER Now that the semester is well under way and classes are lull throttle, we find ourselves once again swallowed in the stress of endless reading, deadlines, tests, etc. As a result, merely one month into the semester, we also find ourselves in need of a vacation. Fall is just around the corner and Wilmington may seem like a strange choice for such a getaway, but the city has much more to offer than the beach. The beach draws in an inter- esting mix of people from all backgrounds, which makes the city rich in character and vari- ety that can't always be found elsewhere As for things to do around town, there's everything from bargain hunting in the downtown shops to spooky late night ghost tours. There's cer- tainly something for everyone in Wilmington, which happens to be a convenient two hours from ECU, thus making for an easy weekend escape. As it is cooling down and tall is fast approaching. Wilmingto- nians must find other things to fill their days with, other than lounging on the beach. My per- sonal favorite pastime is shop- ping, and in Wilmington, there is lots of it to be done. There's the Westfield Mall, which is sig- nificantly bigger than our own Colonial. Wilmington's mall is home to more than 150 stores including Forever 81, Charlotte Kusse, Journeys and Abercrom- bie & Fitch, just to name a few. If the mall is not your thing and you're more into boutiques and bargain hunting, then head to dow mow n Wilmington where the streets are lined with many stores that have something for everyone. There's the Old City Market with several artisan shops where you can find hand- crafted treasures for your room or, if you're like me, you can at least stock up on unusual can- dies such as chocolate covered sunflower seeds and whistle lol- lipops (everybody needs to expe- rience the whistle lollipop). There are also several bou- tiques along the river. Island Passage and Blackbeard's Bryde are my favorites and they have a great selection of clothing for girls and guys alike 1 recom- mend scoping out the sale racks at these stores as they do carry designer labels. There's also Return Passage located just down the street where you can find marked- down designer clothes Think Bugged Wearhouse, but for designer goods. There are. of course, other things to do around the city apart from shopping. During the day you can take a variety of tours, walking downtown tours, dining and sightseeing water tours and murder mystery boat tours. We took a walking ghost tour and saw the city from an entirely different perspective. A guide takes you from location to spooky location telling you the historical tales of battles and brawls that went on there. After all that shopping and sightseeing, you will have worked up an appetite and, luck- ily for you, Wilmington has an abundance of great restaurants. Flaming Amy's Burrito Barn is located on Oleander Drive and it not only has a fun dining atmosphere, but they make one of the tastiest burritos around.

"The offseason has given me a chance to reflect said Godwin, who was named head coach following the resignation of former coach Randy Mazey. "I was kind of thrust into the situation in October. I've had a chance to reflect and get my thoughts together about how I want to approach things and how I want to do things in a first full season, so that's certainly exciting for me to have the opportunity to plan. There's been more planning on my part about how I want things done in our program Godwin's second season as the head coach got under way last week with the commencement of fall practice. Godwin said he was impressed with what he saw from his returning players. "I think we've got a lot accomplished in a short period of time Godwin said of the first week of the 13- day fall practice schedule. "I've been really encouraged. We've seen some good things. The purpose of the fall is to evaluate so that we can take the individual time to work on some things that we see guys gotta work at Many Pirates used the summer to hone their skills play- ing in various wood-bat summer leagues throughout the country. A few achieved all-star success in their respective leagues. Mike Flye and Jamie Ray each were selected to play in the Coastal Plain League All-Star game. Flye posted an ERA under 1.00 as the closer for the Wilson Tobs while Ray's .350 batting average earned him a spot on 2006 SEBaseball.com summer all-star team. Godwin said he sees an improvement from all 12 returning Pirates who played in the amateur leagues. "We had some guys go out and have great summers Godwin said. "Jamie Ray was one of the top U players in the country. Dale Mollenhauer had a great summer (in Canada). Shane Matthews threw well in the Cape Cod League. "The summer is a great time for guys to go out and we identified things and what we asked them to do, 'These are some of the things we'd like to see you do to come back and be a better baseball player Godwin said the summer leagues have kept his players, includingjunior college transfers Trent Ashcraft, Cory Kemp and Mark Letchworth, in shape. "I've been really impressed in the conditioning that our returners have come back in Godwin said. The Rocky Mount native and former head coach at Louisburg College said he was equally impressed with the Dia- mond Buc hopefuls. "There are some guys who certainly can play college base- ball Godwin said. "The key for a walk-on is are they good enough to come in right now and contrib- ute. I was real impressed overall with our walk-on tryouts Aside from the JuCo transfers and possible walk-ons, Godwin said he has been impressed with his first recruiting class. First baseman Kyle Roller from Rich- mond County has "demonstrated tremendous power according to The baseball team hopes to return to the NCAA Tournament. Godwin and the coach has also been impressed with infielder Brock Sutton. "We could see some of our freshmen emerge and step in and contribute Godwin said. Godwin and his staff, which includes former ECU players Clayton McCullough and Ben Sanderson, are trying to get back to the NCAA tournament after the Pirates missed out on the postseason for the first time in eight years in 2005. see BASEBALL page A10 Tara Shaw determined to instill winning legacy ' wy Senior midfielder Tara Shaw is a big reason why the women's soccer team has jumped out to a strong start. Shaw has scored three goals, including two against Georgia State. She has started all eight games. Senior matures as career winds down TOMMY GRAHAM STAFF WRITER When coaches recruit, they look for size, athleticism and the determination to never quit. As far as size goes, on the ECU women's soccer team they do not get much bigger than Tara Shaw. At 5-10, Shaw presents an intimidating presence in the mid- field for Rob Donnenwirth'i team. As a senior she provides a strong defensive presence, as well as a scoring threat that gives oppo- nents more than one thing to worry about when she's around the ball. Only one other player on the team does she truly have to look up to, that being Mary Puckett (5-11), but yet in her four years at ECU, Shaw has not only stood tall in literal terms for this team, she has set an example off the field as well. Shaw came to ECU by way of Great Valley H.S. in Malvern, Pa. Located in eastern Pennsyl- vania, this town of 3,200 located in Chester County is close to the Paoli Battlefield site. On her high school team, Shaw was a leader. She notched top 10 all time scor- ing honors in her school's history as well as being a four year letter winner and four time first team all-league selection. In her senior season, Shaw helped lead her team 9 to the semi-finals of the state high 01 school soccer tournament. After graduation, Shaw came to ECU where the student body is larger than the population of her hometown. She began her colle- giate play in the 2003-2004 year, seeing action in eight games for the Lady Pirates that year. Shaw did not get long to adjust to the college game. After sitting out the first lew contests, she got her first game action against ECU's chief regional rival, the UNCW Seahawks. As a sophomore, Shaw played in 16 games lor the Lady Pirates with her first start being in the home opener against Georgia southern. She also recorded her first goal that season against Memphis and finished the year ranked third on the team in shot percentage at .286. Of the most memorable things that happened that year, Shaw said one of the best was "beating Cincinnati in their own house Going into her Junior cam- paign Shaw was ready to make a name for herself. She was one of only eight Pirates to have played in all 21 games, starting 12 of them at the mid-field position. She tied for fourth on the team with two goals, but her shot percentage dropped to .167. However, she was one of the Lady Pirates on the field during their conference tournament victory over a ranked SMU team. She said this victory "was really special" in the fact that earlier in the year, ECU had lost to them on Bunting Field. Now in her senior year, Shaw so far this season is already tied for second in points (nine) with three goals and a shooting per- centage of .333. She recorded two see SHAW page A10 Women's volleyball routs N.C. A&T ECU's sweep brings winning streak to three ROBERT MATTHEW PARKS STAFF WRITER Sloppy is not a term usually used to describe a three-games- to-none win, but it is exactly the way Lady Pirates Head Coach Chris Rushing described his team's latest victory. The Lady Pirates were able to overcome lowly North Carolina A&T in three games Tuesday night 30-19, 30-24, 30-26. Leading the Lady Pirates was Mignon Dubenion with 15 kills. Dubenion also contributed two digs on the night. Senior co- captain setter Heidi Krug had 38 assists and 10 digs on the night, giving her a double-double. The Lady Pirates started slow out of the gate before getting things together to win the game. Early in the game the appearance of defensive difficulties were evi- dent, allowing the Aggies to hang around for the first 20 minutes. During a timeout, Krug could be heard shouting the same term her coach would use at the end of the night. Sloppy. Game two went much the same way with the Aggies refusing to go down, playing the Lady Pirates almost point-for-point until the score was 21-20, at which point Bushing's team was able to put away the Aggies, winning the game 30-24. The final game was the clos- est of the night with the Lady Pirates coming out on top 30-26 to complete the sweep. Of the Lady Pirates 35 digs, 18 came in game three. While happy to get the win, Rushing and his players expressed disappointment in their effort after the game, clearly expect- ing to handle A&T easier than they did. "We did not do basic funda- mentals very well tonight said Rushing. "Defensively, we weren't getting to the right spots to dig balls. We were dropping to our knees when we should have been staying on our feet, and we did not get the ball to our setter so that we could run a good offense Following the game Rushing took his team behind closed-doors for nearly 20 minutes. Upon exiting the locker room Krug echoed much of what Rush- ing had said. c "We were all frustrated Krug sighed. "In the first two games we -g had 17 digs. We weren't doing the $ things that we normally do On a positive note, Krug did a see VOLLEYBALL page A10 Heidi Krug sets up one of her 38 assists against North Carolina A&T V PAGE A8 THE EAST CAROLINIAN SPORTS WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 2006 CONGRATULATIONS TO THE 2006 ELITE PIRATES THE VIRGINIA CARRAWAY SEAN RUSSELL NABEEL ARASTU STEPHEN SHAHEEN SARAH RIGGS MATTHEW HERRMANN DEBRANETTA GETHERS JANUARY RUSSELL APRIL PAUL BAER BRIAN MITCHELL AADIL LODHI rElite Pirate Nomination Applications are now available and being accepted for 2006-2007 Elite Pirates We are looking for exemplary students, who have at least 30 completed credit hours and have shown outstanding leadership abilities inside and outside of the classroom.

"The NCAA tournament is a process Godwin said, "and the process is that we have to go out and recruit the kind of players that can put us in that position. Our coaching staff is responsible for getting those guys to play at the level to be able to get into the NCAA tournament. These guys are focused right now on playing at the level we believe they have to play at. "The NCAAs, that's more of turn-the-page January-type goal. The fall right now is letting guys know what our expectations are, meeting those expectations, exceeding them and just trying to be a better baseball player to help us win games in the spring Godwin added that there is "no question" that getting back to the NCAA tourna- ment and ultimately to Omaha for the College World Series is one of those expectations. "We don't want a player to come in here and that not be his ultimate goal as a member of our baseball program Godwin said. "We talk about Omaha a lot within our team Starting another streak of NCAA appearances will not be easy as the Pirates will welcome three teams who played in the 2006 College World Series to Clark-LeClair Stadium. Rice, UNC and Cal State Fullerton will come to Greenville, among other "heavy hitters" from the college baseball elite. "We've got some teams like Michigan, Pepperdine and North Carolina State coming in Godwin said. "I think when our schedule is released; it's probably going to be one of the most challenging schedules that East Carolina's played. Our philosophy on that is, if we want to be the best, we've got to beat the best This writer can be contacted at sportsOtheeastcarolinian.com. SHAW 'J continued from A7 of those goals in the game against Georgia State earlier this month. With only one more goal, Shaw will have tied her career mark of four goals and could very easily surpass that mark with 11 games left in the season. However, she is not just all about height and leg power. Shaw is studying criminal justice here at ECU and has made the Athletic Dean's list multiple times, most recently in the spring of 2006. In addition, she was named to the honor roll on multiple occasions as well as being named to the C-USA Commissioner's Academic Honor Roll the past two years. Looking ahead Shaw would like to be able to go to grad school, maybe at ECU and continue her studies. "I just want to be able to help people she said when asked why she chose criminal justice as her major. "It gives us a chance just to be ourselves Shaw said. She also remarked that this will be one of the things she misses the most after she leaves the program this year. Outside of the field is where the team "really gets to know each other she said. Over the course of the past few years, Shaw has went from being a "small town girl to the player on the field opponents do not want to see. With 11 games left this season, her favorite niece and nephew cheering her on and the Conference tournament to look forward to, her Senior year looks to finish with a flurry. That flurry however is one that the Lady Pirates will hope to see finish with a conference champi- onship and a few new moves on the dance floor!
