Students participate in the first Make a Difference Day event Students write letters to their friends, Over 154 campuses participated, $10 million raised last year ADELINE TRENTO STAFF WRITER Last Thursday, Oct. 26, ECU hosted a letter writing event as part of Up 'til Dawn, a fund- raising campaign for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. The nationwide fund-raiser, which aims to unite students with the community and raise money for the children at St. Jude, takes place on 154 campuses across the U.S. and has raised more than $10 million for St. Jude. Students who participated in family and neighbors in an attempt to the fundraiser were organized into groups of about six people, and each group member was asked to send 50 letters to friends, family and neighbors in an attempt to receive donations for St. Jude. Students were asked to sign and address pre-written letters to people they knew in hopes that their friends and family would donate whatever they could to the cause. Most students volunteered their time to help with this event because fundraising is critical to the success of St. Jude. The research hospital relies on dona- tions because they offer free treat- ment to sick children all over the world. St. Jude is also the only pedi- request donations for the hospital. atric cancer research center where families are never asked to pay for treatments not covered by their insurance, and families with- out insurance are never asked to pay, according to Stjude.org. Many sororities, clubs, honor students and faculty members, as well as groups of students just wanting to help, participated in this event. Students who took part in this fund-raiser did so because they thought it was a great cause. "I decided to volunteer for this event because I want to work with children one day said Jamie Dan- iels, junior elementary education major. "St. Jude is an amazing place see JUDE page A2 I National day of service recognized CLAYTON BAUMAN STAFF WRITER The ECU Volunteer Center held its first Make a Difference Day volunteer drive this past Saturday with hundreds of stu- dents taking part in a variety of community service projects. Make a Difference Day is a nationwide initiative that was started by the news publication USA Today. The fourth Saturday of every October is the desig- nated day around the nation. Last year, nearly three million volunteers were on record for par- ticipating in community service. According to Jason Denius, director of the Volunteer and Service Learning Center, 200 up to participate in the event. "We are using this project as a way to hopefully recruit some folks who have never vol- unteered before said Denius. Students were placed in five different service groups, each going to different areas around the Greenville community. These areas were Third Street School, Habitat for Humanity, Epees Rec- reation Center and the Humane Society of Eastern Carolina. Once organized into their designated groups, students were bussed out to their respective locations where they participated in a variety of different activi- ties dependent on their location. According to the ECU Vol- unteer Web site, ecu.eduvol- unteer, students at the Third Street School took part in cleaning, painting, landscap- ing and classroom organization. Habitat tor Humanity Volun- teers took part in building, organiz- ingand cleaning in an effort to help shelter low income families in need. Humane Society Volunteers took partin taking care of the animals through cleaning ken- nels as well as dog washing. Epees Recreational Center vol- unteers aided with cleaning, paint- ing, landscaping and a food drive. An additional project, Potato Drop, was performed in conjunc- tion with the Food Bank of cen- tral and eastern North Carolina see SERVICE page A2 News WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 1, 2006 PAGE A2 ANNOUNCEMENTS Wed TtlU ni, n i Mn.r.nt fTh.

BRIEFS South Georgia town plagued by bats (AP) So many bats have infested the town's historic district that the sky turns black with each sunset and the neighborhood is call- ing on Batman to come to the rescue. That's what the local bat remover goes by. George Perkins often makes public appearances in the caped crusader's costume and drives his own Batmobile, a retro- styled Chrysler Prowler with bat emblems. Callers to his office in Kufaula, Ala known as Bat Cave I, or Union Springs, Ala known as Bat Cave 2, hear the "Batman" TV show theme while on hold. "They're perpetual crap machines said Tripp Pouieroy, who moved to the town of 17,000 in 19H9 to work for Habitat for Humanity, which has its global headquarters here. In a letter to city officials, Harris said free-tailed bats have apparently expanded their range and number in Georgia and have adapted to roosting in buildings in many towns across the state. There are many other bat species, but it's the free- tail variety that seem to be causing the most problems here. CDC probing salmo- nella outbreak in 18 states (AP) A salmonella outbreak potentially linked to produce has sickened at least 172 people in 18 states, health otFicials said Monday. Health officials think the bac- teria may have spread through some form of produce - the list of suspects includes tomatoes. But the illnesses have not been tied to any specific product, chain, restaurants or supermarkets. No one has died in the outbreak, which stems from a common form of salmonella bacteria. Eleven people have been hos- pitalized, health officials said. "We're very early in the inves- tigation said Dave Daigle, a spokesman for the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The most serious outbreak, first reported in September, involved spinach tainted with E. coli bac- teria that killed three people and sickened more than 200. Health officials estimate that more than 1.4 million cases of salmonel- losis occur in the U.S. each year. About 1.3 million of those cases come from food, Braden said. Girl Freed From Life of Slaver (AP) A California couple is facing charges after allegedly paying her par- ents in Egypt to "lease" a young girl. Police say the girl was used for two years to work 16 hours a day cleaning the couple's home and caring for their children. The girl's parents were allegedly paid $30 a month for her services. The couple has been ordered to pay back wages of $76,000 and may face time in prison and then be deported to Egypt. Courtney Love Was Rejected as Mouseketeer Rock musician Courtney Love was rejected as a Mouseketeer by television's Mickey Mouse Club in 1976, her newly published "Dirty Blonde" diary says. The book also exposes her painful relation- ship with her mother, therapist Linda Carroll, Newsweek reports. "When I get around (Carroll), I feel so awkward and timid and weak trying to prove to her that I can make friends and be popular a l'2-year-old Love writes. Later letters come from inside an Oregon prison. Love's memoir hits the shelves a week after her late husband, singer-songwriter-guitarist Kurt Cobain displaced Elvis at No. 1 on Forbess list of the top-earning dead celebrities, Newsweek notes. Part of that comes from Love, who sold her 25 percent share in the Seattle-based rock band Nirvana catalog, and earned Cobain's estate $50 million. ECU explores Hispanic culture through film JUDE continued from Al and I think it's important to help raise money for them so they can keep helping so many children The Up 'til Dawn letter writing campaign was a huge success at ECU with more than 40 teams and 300 people participating in the event. More than 6,000 letters were sent on Thursday and the goal is to raise100,000 for St. Jude through the letter writing campaign and other events planned for the year. "The letter writing cam- paign is the biggest fundraiser that Up til Dawn does said Ashley Collins, member of the Up til Dawn board. "So many people are involved and we are able to reach so many different people with relatively little effort Other events will be held throughout the year in order to raise even more money for the children at St. Jude. A silent auction, car wash, bake sale and bowling tournament are planned for the upcoming months. At the end of the fundrais- ing campaign, an event will be held where participants will stay "Up 'til Dawn" to honor the children and families of St. Jude. Anyone that wishes to donate money to St. Jude Chil- dren's Research Hospital can do so at stjude.orgdonate. This writer can be contacted at news@theeastcarolinian.com. SERVICE continued from Al Students gather together to watch educational films that explore the history and culture of Latin America Two films shown in inaugural series ZACK HILL STAFF WRITKR The first leg of the new His- panic Film Series wrapped up Thursday night in Hate 2011 with a showing of Illummados pur el Furgo(Enlightened by Fire), a film about the conflict between Argen- tina and Britain in the 1980s. It was preceded in the series by a September showing of Haheros, a documentary about Cuban rafters coming to America. The series is being put together by Juan Daneri and Jennifer Valko, both professors in the depart- ment of foreign languages and literature s Spanish division. They said that it is the first Hispanic film series that they have heard of at ECU "We thought it was necessary because of not only the changing demographics in the state, but also the fact that the university is feeing more students with a His- panic background said Daneri. "It's a way to get people to learn about other cultures not only in terms of their differences, but also the similarities and shared experiences said Valko. Before each screening, a pro- feasor or faculty member gives some background information and puts the film in a context in which the students can relate Afterward, discussion is encouraged, though not required. "We are careful to avoid turn- ing this into a classroom situation Daneri said. So far, turnout has exceeded their expectations, with the upstairs classroom in the Bate building strained to hold the 40 to 50 students who have shown up each time. Students from Pitt Community College as well as members of the Greenville com- munity have also attended the films. Valko and Daneri hope that the ; films expand students' perspec- tives on Hispanic culture. "A lot of people have a fairly limited idea of what Hispanic cul- ture is. They usually think about it in terms of a single country. Latin America is very diverse and there are lot of things like immigration, war and economic and environmental issues that are important both there and here Daneri said. The series will pick up again in the spring semester, though dates have not yet been set. Valko and Daneri hope that the showings will continue to be a success so that funding may become available to bring in a guest speaker, such as a Hispanic filmmaker. In the meantime, they are sat- isfied with their progress so far. "We want people to reflect on what they've seen, and also see some very good films Valko said. This writer can be contacted at newstttheeastcarolinian.com. It is Denius's hope that the people who volunteer will see what they do as a positive experi- ence and will come out in the future for more volunteer projects. As a side project to the differ- ent volunteer events, the Volunteer Center had 15 students participat- ing as site leaders. These students supervised their peers and encouraged them during the day. Students who missed out on Make a Difference Day and want to volunteer in the future have an opportunity in the spring. On the Monday holiday for Martin Luther King's birthday, the volunteer center is hoping to have a day of service as well. To keep up with future vol- unteer events, visit ecii.eduvol- unteer.

Notre Dame has a national television con- tract with NBC, the only of its kind, which conflicts with the local interest of the WITN affiliate. Notre Dame hosts UNC, which overlaps with the ECU game, forcing WITN management to make a critical decision. After weighing their options, WITN has chosen to broadcast a tape delay of the ECU-UCF game starting after their 6 p.m. local news. In other words, it values a probable blowout between No. 11 Notre Dame and a 1-7 UNC team over a pivotal conference match up with an upstart Pirate squad looking for its first-ever conference championship. Notre Dame and UNC kickoff at 2:30 p.m. while ECU-UCF start at 4 p.m. What if Travis Williams has to make another game-saving inter- ception in the end zone? While it's happening live, ECU fans will be watching Marvin Dough- erty deliver a Doppler 3000 weather forecast. Some official station. WITN has a contract with the Pirate Sports Television Network to broadcast four games each season. The agreement, which has been in place since 1992, has aired nearly 100 games throughout eastern North Carolina. Billy Weaver, the WITN sports director, serves as color analyst while weekend sports anchor Brian Meador reports from the sideline. When College Sports Television signed a con- tractual agreement to control the majority of television rights, WITN lost options. CSTV, which is only available on digital cable locally, has nationally broadcast the Sept. 9 game at Navy, Oct. 7 contest against Virginia and Oct. 28 game at Southern Miss. "The UCF game was not on the original schedule that we had set up with ECU said WITN General Manager Mike Weeks in a radio interview on Monday. "We'd like to have all away games if we could because that would be of inter- est to the largest group of potential fans Weeks said WITN management never con- sidered switching games midway through, saying the option was "unacceptable WITN brass interrupted the Southern Cal-Notre Dame last season, a game with national interest last season to start ECU's game at SMU. USC and Notre Dame were ranked in the top-10 while neither ECU nor SMU had a winning record. However, Weeks did say that the broadcast at Rice on Nov. 18 would preempt the Fighting Irish. He said that interrupting the Notre Dame-UNC broadcast could cause WITN a large fine for diverting its national feed for a predetermined number of hours. He also considered carrying the game on WITN's digital cable 7.2, but claimed he would lose 80 percent of his audience. Why not carry the game on digital cable live and still tape delay the game on regular cable? UCF controls the television rights and despite WITN's requests, denied moving the 4 p.m. game time. "We think this is a good game to be carried and hope it doesn't inconvenience fans too much Weeks understated. WITN has already broadcast the game at UAB and has plans to carry the Nov. 11 home game against Marshall and at Rice on Nov. 18. That is, unless, the Tar Heels are playing. JUST ASK JANE Need advice? Want answers? Just ask Jane. Dear Jane, I'm really concerned about one ofmy friends. I think she has an eating disorder, but obviously, that's not something I feel like I can just come out and ask her about without possibly jeopardizing our friendship. She's overly concerned with what she eats and works out a crazy amount. More than that, she's lost an astonishing amount of weight this semester and I'm very concerned about her health. Signed, Astonished Dear Astonished, Eating disorders can be a tough topic to tackle, so I understand why you seem hesitant to approach your friend. However, she is put- ting herself in an unhealthy state and if no one intervenes then she may not realize that it is a problem. People who have eating disorders have a distorted mental picture of how they appear to themselves and others around them. If you are truly worried about your friends well being then you should express your con- cerns to her. You will not jeopardize your friendship so long as you seem genuine and you do not come off as being judgmental. It is normal for both men and women to be con- cerned about what they eat but if your friend is not eating at all or is only limiting herself to lettuce and celery then she has a problem that must be addressed. There is an eating disorder center through the Brody School of Medicine at ECU that you can refer your friend to, if she agrees to go for counseling. In many cases, a person with an eating disorder does not realize that they have a problem. She obvi- ously has a negative body image that has sprouted from something. Somewhere down the line, she developed this phobia, which will take time to reverse, but if you remain a positive influence and a good friend then she will have the support she needs. I know it is scary to tell a friend that you think they have a problem, but if they are never made aware of it then they will not know to fix it. Good luck! Sincerely, Jane UPeALS PfNPN6 OM PH0N CALLS To WtM INJ PIRATE RANTS I think one of my teachers is looking for a new student to have relations with to replace a student that graduated last fall. We beat Southern Miss! We beat Southern Miss! I love it when people chit chat very loudly on the third floor in the library. I mean, quiet study floor obviously means people can talk however loud they want. People are so smart. Recreation and leisure is not easy! I wish my roommate would stop stealing my hat. Just because I let you borrow it one time because you wanted to cover up your greasy hair for class does not mean it's yours now. ECU Parking and Transportation must be run by the devil. For the past three years, they have done every thing in their power to ruin my life. I'll write whatever I want on your boyfriend's wall, he's still sleeping with me anyway! I wish I could believe that he always cared - but I know that's not true. Being bipolar makes functioning in society the hardest thing ever sometimes, especially when no one understands. I come to the library to study but all I do is waste my time because I get nothing accomplished. Your bluetooth does not make you cool Why do you insist on wearing it in class? You sit on the front row, so it is doubtful that you are going to talk on the phone. Quit trying to play your little mind games with me. I'm not one of your easily influenced minions. You forgot that I am, and will always be, older and wiser than you. Try listening instead of arguing. I'm sure you look cool in your sunglasses when you're outside, but you just look weird when you wear them in class. I have not had more than three consecutive hours of sleep since fall break. Is it bad that I am turned off by girls who are heading into careers that don't make much money? i.e. teaching? I can't tell if the guy sitting next to me is adjusting himself or scratching himself. Either way, five times every two minutes is not healthy. Get that checked pronto. If you think the music sucks so bad in the underground (which it does), join the committee and voice your opinions. Maybe then we wont have Frail play five times a semester and we can get some music worth listening to. Just because I wear big sunglasses does not mean I am a skank. I just like looking like I have bug eyes. To the girt in marketing class who wears skinny jeans and sandals with socks -1 like it when you touch my leg under the desk or hold my hand where no one can see it. But your mouth is filthy like a sailor's or pirate's. When you learn to ask like a lady I'll be your boy toy. Enjoy life today, yesterday is gone and tomorrow may never come. You are an insignificant bleep in our lives. Yet you still proceed to create drama. Go back to studying or quitting jobs and rot. Thanks. I really do love my North Face. It keeps me warm and it is fashionable. But I hate that when I wash it, the next day it still has lint all over it. Does anybody else have that problem? You're the one that decided to transfer schools, so don't get upset when I can't come see you when you want me to. I have a life too. It's just not right for a professor to give a test at 8 a.m. the day after Halloween. Give me a break! I want to go out and celebrate! Christmas break - I can't wait! It's a woman's world, might as well face it, they get what they want. Men buy the drinks, girls call the shots. There was a couple in the hall last night arguing about a message on Facebook, how superficial can you get honestly? If the male cheerleaders aren't hooking up with the female cheerleaders, then they are dating one of them. When you start showing that you care about the things I do, I'll start caring about the things you do. I saw this girl Wednesday afternoon attempt to parallel park her car about 10 times on Jarvis. She kept doing the same thing every time before finally giving up and dnving off. It was funny, but I felt bad for her and wanted to help. I almost walked up and said, "Just get out and let me do it She probably doesn't deserve to have a driver's license. The Brody School of Medicine is awful. All you pre-med people be forewarned to choose a different school. To the girl who sits next to me in my 9 a.m. - May I suggest trying a new perfume? Please, you smell like a grandma. I love crunching acorns. To the girl I met downtown last week - My intentions were completely honorable and I wish I knew how to find you. Why can't every day in Greenville be as nice as it was on Saturday?! Why must you get in the shower stall right next to me when there are six other ones open? Please stop. Stop interfering. Stop creating unnecessary drama. Stop, stop, stop. And while you're at it Get your own life! Pee-Dee's Pet Peeve 1: People who answer their cell phone and then say: "Oh hey can I call you right back?" Why even answer the damn phone. Pee-Dee's Pet Peeve 2: Rainbows. They've had their moment. They are cool. We get it - you don't care what you look like, you're late for class, you're from eastern North Carolina, love the beach, etc. When my lips are chapped, I don't want to see your crusty feet and toes. Break out the Clarks. Pee-Dee's Pet Peeve 3: Pirates that don't vote. Soap operas remind me that my life isn't as crazy as it could be. I love Luke and Laura! On Halloween girls can dress like sluts. It happens all the time. It doesn't mean that we are sluts, maybe we dress up for fun. I'm sorry that your boyfriend can't keep his eyes off us! Get over it! Sometimes I am really hateful. Trust me? The last time you said that I wound up with a Coyote Ugly. After copying down pages of notes for at least an hour, one of my classmates asks the teacher to turn to the previous slide. The teacher does but replies with a smart comment, "You guys need to learn how to write faster I'm sorry my hand is about to fall off, I will try to write really fast next time so I can't read my notes, would that be better for you? I frequently feel the overpowering urge to run to my classes, not because I'm late but because it feels like walking takes for-ev-er. John Mayer, I just want to kick him. I just want to be man of moderate intelligence who wears a suit, so I'm going to business school. And that's how I saved Halloween, Maybe in six beers. Wow, who knew the way I walk could be so distracting to others. Next time, try focusing on looking forward, not sideways. Who stole the cookies from the cookie jar? Since when is a human being too good to flush after they go to the bathroom? I go in every single day and flush an average of three toilets because others won't. It does begin to smell worse and worse if you do that! My friend never comes to class, but expects me to just give her my notes every single day. What's up with that? Did anyone notice the purple "Visitor Parking Sign" on Fifth Street? ECU should invest in many more. I wrote a Pirate Rant about my roommate and he actually pointed it out to me and we laughed about it. That moment was probably the best moment of my entire life. I do everything at my job and I can't wait to see it fall apart when I leave next year. I'm glad you feel bad about breaking up with me. In fact, it makes me really happy. So stop trying to talk to me, it only makes you look even more pathetic. The NAACP is as racially biased as the groups they supposedly stride against. They act like they are fighting for equality but as the name states they only care about the advancement of one group. Does anyone using their brain really think that black-only groups like BSU are any less immoral than the white- only groups of the past that were so obviously wrong? Give me a break and stop being two-faced. You're creating more racial separation than the people for whom you are unjustly mad at. That CPS article makes me mad. It makes me remember that I had to buy two of those stupid things because they are all a little bit different, and neither one of my classes used them even once. I'm glad that BET speaker came and told black people why everybody hates them and for good reason. How come black people yell at other black people for not being black enough? Black is a color of skin not a type of personality. I hate having so much to do that I just want to cry all the time. Life is rough.

Election issues in the land of the free Gay marriage an important issue for many Americans JESSE PENCE OPINION WRITER , Elections after election, candidates seeking our approval to represent our views and opinions, to become our voices, discuss key issues important to the American public. In life, we are all different; our country is a vast and developed meltingpot ofculture, religion and beliefs cre- ating one of the most unique topographical tapestries of people - that should be cultivated rather than segregated. As 1 get older and more mature, I start to wonder what my future will be and who is going to create the future I would like to see. With the coming elections, my key issues would have to be new processes for the cultivation of energy, environmental protection and finally gay marriage. To some the topic of gay marriage seems over dramatized, unimportant or the next step in an equal society. Marriage has so many diverse definitions. For some cultures it is a business arrangement, a sign of unconditional loyalty or a tax break, among countless other manifestations. One definition of marriage, by Dictionary.com is "a blending or matching of different elements or compo- nents One ofmy best friends is an out homosexual. He has those same dreams that many of us in college seek. To earn a degree and maybe, just maybe, meet that some- one that he is supposed to be with the rest of his life. It is that "American Dream" to be evolved enough to give yourself entirely to another behind a white picket fence played countless times in American Cinema. Our President refers to marriage as "a sanctity and religious institution Now, as I recall from Law and Poli- tics classes and U.S. History classes from high school, the government is to be far removed from any one particular religion as our country is diversified. To sponsor one religion would be to negate one reason for our formation, freedom of religion. By the standards of which I was taught on the separation of Church and State, it would be apparent that all marriages officiated by a Justice of the Peace or other governmental council should be null and void - it is a religious celebration and therefore should be kept apart from our governing body. Marriages should offer no legal contract, as all religions and denominations of religions have different interpreta- tions within their mythologies. The government should offer all people seeking partnered benefits a civil union, the joining of two parties and the collaboration of finances. Our government has rules, laws and regulations about protecting its citizens from others and themselves. Any part of a religious belief that threatens the safety of her citizens is not applicable to our freedom. For instance, within the Holy Bible stoning was used as punishment. If this practice were to reoccur in our own time, our gov- ernment would be required to intervene. Just because you're religion believes something does not mean you automatically have the freedom to do so. Our Bill of Rights clearly defines that I am an individual able to make my own decisions and not be forced like many of our ancestors to practice one specific set of religious beliefs. By this standard, your beliefs might say, "Well no, a gay marriage is a sin as it says in the Bible You are allowed to believe this and followers of your reli- gion can respect this, however, your religion should not supercede the decisions of our forefathers in determining what America was built upon. America is nothing more than a fantastic idea, a glorious experiment constantly changing, where any person with any belief and any idea would be respected, where no one has any right to force beliefs beyond inherent ethical and inherent moral codes upon you. "Marriage" is just a word. The audience determines the definition of marriage. Change the word to "civil union "partnership" or "domestic beneficiaries" they all mean the same thing, the implication is there. By our President's former statement said a year or two ago, "pro- tect the sanctity of marriage he did nothing more than contradict previous court decisions separating religious opinion from governmental process. If two people of the same sex are not to be married by the court, then neither should any couple of the opposite sex. So many people are confusing personal belief with ethical behavior, blurring boundaries that were set into effect many years ago. All people of any diversity are equal as clearly defined by our constitution. To define marriage through religion should remove it from our legal system. The other walls of hate JUSTIN SUMMER OPINION WRITER Last week's "Wall of Hate" set up by the Ledonia Wright Cultural Society was a success on campus and hopefully raised some awareness to the problems created by racism. What may be surprising to some of you is that the "Wall of Hate" set up in the brickyard was not the only place on campus covered with racial slurs and epithets on campus. In the library, for instance, the stalls in the men's bathroom are covered in obscenities, both racial and homophobic. People find the need to scribble "KKK" and phony Web sites and phone numbers to call "for a good time For years, I have seen this sort of immature and liatefiil graffiti on display in public bathroom stalLs, but it is a completely absurd for college students to be doing it on campus. I don't understand how itis acceptable for people to express theiropinionson lathroom walls. Maybe people think it is cool because otJier people have done it; kids did it in middle school and no one cared. But, things should be different in college as I m sure things are different at other colleges. Why is this sort of behavior still tolerated at ECU? These rarist, hateful andor offensive comments written in bathnxims do not bother me that much because I am white and don't spend too much time in the bathroom at Joyner. But I would bet that the many black, gay or Jewish students would be, not to mention tile people wlx) clean the badirooms of Joyner. I think that this sort of thoughtless aixl immature behavior should not be tolerated here at ECU. I'm not too sure of what ran be done about the problem but we should at feast address it. At the football game a few weeks ago, people were appar- ently shouting obscenities in front of children and being drunk and offensive After the game, we all received the e-mail that was dioroughh effective at making us Pirates feel ashamed of our behavior. If being drunk and loud in front of an opposing fan Ls offensive and merits a campus-wide e-mail and guilt trip, why is this BS in the BR tolerated? Once again, I must stress the fact that we are college students and should act like it. Writing on bathroom stalls might be amusing in elementary school, but things should be different in a college 'atmosphere.

Students participate in the first Make a Difference Day event Students write letters to their friends, Over 154 campuses participated, $10 million raised last year ADELINE TRENTO STAFF WRITER Last Thursday, Oct. 26, ECU hosted a letter writing event as part of Up 'til Dawn, a fund- raising campaign for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. The nationwide fund-raiser, which aims to unite students with the community and raise money for the children at St. Jude, takes place on 154 campuses across the U.S. and has raised more than $10 million for St. Jude. Students who participated in ) family and neighbors in an attempt to the fundraiser were organized into groups of about six people, and each group member was asked to send 50 letters to friends, family and neighbors in an attempt to receive donations for St. Jude. Students were asked to sign and address pre-written letters to people they knew in hopes that their friends and family would donate whatever they could to the cause. Most students volunteered their time to help with this event because fundraising is critical to the success of St. Jude. The research hospital relies on dona- tions because they offer free treat- ment to sick children all over the world. St. Jude is also the only pedi- request donations for the hospital. atric cancer research center where families are never asked to pay for treatments not covered by their insurance, and families with- out insurance are never asked to pay, according to Stjude.org. Many sororities, clubs, honor students and faculty members, as well as groups of students just wanting to help, participated in this event. Students who took part in this fund-raiser did so because they thought it was a great cause. "I decided to volunteer for this event because I want to work with children one day said Jamie Dan- iels, junior elementary education major. "St. Jude is an amazing place see JUDE page A2 I National day of service recognized CLAYTON BAUMAN STAFF WRITER The ECU Volunteer Center held its first Make a Difference Day volunteer drive this past Saturday with hundreds of stu- dents taking part in a variety of community service projects. Make a Difference Day is a nationwide initiative that was started by the news publication USA Today. The fourth Saturday of every October is the desig- nated day around the nation. Last year, nearly three million volunteers were on record for par- ticipating in community service. According to Jason Denius, director of the Volunteer and Service Learning Center, 200 up to participate in the event. "We are using this project as a way to hopefully recruit some folks who have never vol- unteered before said Denius. Students were placed in five different service groups, each going to different areas around the Greenville community. These areas were Third Street School, Habitat for Humanity, Epees Rec- reation Center and the Humane Society of Eastern Carolina. Once organized into their designated groups, students were bussed out to their respective locations where they participated in a variety of different activi- ties dependent on their location. According to the ECU Vol- unteer Web site, ecu.eduvol- unteer, students at the Third Street School took part in cleaning, painting, landscap- ing and classroom organization.

BRIEFS South Georgia town plagued by bats (AP) So many bats have infested the town's historic district that the sky turns black with each sunset and the neighborhood is call- ing on Batman to come to the rescue. That's what the local bat remover goes by. George Perkins often makes public appearances in the caped crusader's costume and drives his own Bat mobile, a retro- styled Chrysler Prowler with bat emblems. Callers to his office in Eufaula, Ala known as Bat Cave 1, or Union Springs, Ala known as Bat Cave '2, hear the "Batman" TV show theme while on hold. "They're perpetual crap machines said Tripp 1'ouieroy, who moved to the town of 17,000 in 1989 to work for Habitat for Humanity, which has its global headquarters here. In a letter to city officials, Harris said free-tailed bats have apparently expanded their range and number in Georgia and have adapted to roosting in buildings in many towns across the state. There are many other bat species, but it's the free- tail variety that seem to be causing the most problems here. CDC probing salmo- nella outbreak in 18 states (AP) A salmonella outbreak potentially linked to produce has sickened at least 12 people in 18 states, health officials said Monday. Health officials think the bac- teria may have spread through some form of produce - the list of suspects includes tomatoes. But the illnesses have not been tied to any specific product, chain, restaurants or supermarkets. No one has died in the outbreak, which stems from a common form of salmonella bacteria. Eleven people have been hos- pitalized, health officials said. "We're very early in the inves- tigation said Dave Daigle, a spokesman for the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The most serious outbreak, first reported in September, involved spinach tainted with E. coli bac- teria that killed three people and sickened more than 200. Health officials estimate that more than 1.4 million cases of salmonel- losis occur in the U.S. each year. About 1.3 million of those cases come from food, Braden said. Girl Freed From Life of Slaver (AP) A California couple is facing charges after allegedly paying her par- ents in Egypt to "lease" a young girl. Police say the girl was used for two years to work 16 hours a day cleaning the couple's home and caring for their children. The girl's parents were allegedly paid $30 a month for her services. The couple has been ordered to pay back wages of $76,000 and may face time in prison and then be deported to Egypt. Courtney Love Was Rejected as Mouseketeer Rock musician Courtney Love was rejected as a Mouseketeer by television's Mickey Mouse Club in 1976, her newly published "Dirty Blonde" diary says. The book also exposes her painful relation- ship with her mother, therapist Linda Carroll, Newsweek reports. "When I get around (Carroll), I feel so awkward and timid and weak trying to prove to her that I can make friends and be popular a 12-year-old Love writes. Later letters come from inside an Oregon prison. Love's memoir hits the shelves a week after her late husband, singer-songwriter-guitarist Kurt Cobain displaced Elvis at No. 1 on Forbess list of the top-earning dead celebrities, Newsweek notes. Part of that comes from Love, who sold her 25 percent share in the Seattle-based rock band Nirvana catalog, and earned Cobain's estate $50 million. ECU explores Hispanic culture through film JUDE continued from Al and I think it's important to help raise money for them so they can keep helping so many children The Up 'til Dawn letter writing campaign was a huge success at ECU with more than 40 teams and 300 people participating in the event. More than 6,000 letters were sent on Thursday and the goal is to raise100,000 for St. Jude through the letter writing campaign and other events planned for the year. "The letter writing cam- paign is the biggest fundraiser that Up til Dawn does said Ashley Collins, member of the Up til Dawn board. "So many people are involved and we are able to reach so many different people with relatively little effort Other events will be held throughout the year in order to raise even more money for the children at St. Jude. A silent auction, car wash, bake sale and bowling tournament are planned for the upcoming months. At the end of the fundrais- ing campaign, an event will be held where participants will stay "Up 'til Dawn" to honor the children and families of St. Jude. Anyone that wishes to donate money to St. Jude Chil- dren's Research Hospital can do so at stjude.orgdonate. This writer can be contacted at news@theeastcarolinian.com. SERVICE continued from Al Students gather together to watch educational films that explore the history and culture of Latin America Two films shown in inaugural series ZACK HILL STAFF WRITER The first leg of the new His- panic Film Series wrapped up Thursday night in Bate 2011 with a showing of lllummaiios por el h'urifo(Enlightened by Fire), a film about the conflict between Argen- tina and Britain in the 1080a. It was preceded in the series by a September showing of Halsrros, a documentary about Cuban rafters coming to America. The series is being put together by Juan Damn and Jennifer Valko, both professors in the depart- ment of foreign languages and literature's Spanish division. They said that it is the first Hispanic film scries that they have heard of at ECU. "We thought it was necessary because of not only the changing demographics in the state, but also the fact that the university is seeing more students with a His- panic background said Daneri. "It's a way to get people to learn about other cultures not only in terms of their differences, but also the similarities and shared experiences said Valko Before each screening, a pro- fessor or faculty member gives tome background information and puts the film in a context in which the students can relate. Afterward, discussion is encouraged, though not required. "We are careful to avoid turn- ing this into a classroom situation Daneri said. So far, turnout has exceeded their expectations, with the upstairs classroom in the Bate building strained to hold the 40 to 50 students who have shown up each time. Students from Pitt Community College as well as members of the Greenville com- munity have also attended the films. Valko and Daneri hope that the i films expand students' perspec- tives on Hispanic culture. A lot of people have a fairly limited idea of what Hispanic cul- ture is. They usually think about it in terms of a single country. Latin America is very diverse and there are lot of things like immigration, war and economic and environmental issues that are important both there and here Daneri said. The series will pick up again in the spring semester, though dates have not yet been set. Valko and Daneri hope that the showings will continue to be a success so that funding may become available to bring in a guest speaker, such as a Hispanic filmmaker. In the meantime, they are sat- isfied with their progress so far. "We want people to reflect on what they've seen, and also see some very good films Valko said. This writer can be contacted at newsOtheeastcarolinian.com. It is Denius's hope that the people who volunteer will see what they do as a positive experi- ence and will come out in the future for more volunteer projects. As a side project to the differ- ent volunteer events, the Volunteer Center had 1.5 students participat- ing as site leaders. These students supervised their peers and encouraged them during the day. Students who missed out on Make a Difference Day and want to volunteer in the future have an opportunity in the spring. On the Monday holiday for Martin Luther Kings birthday, the volunteer center is hoping to have a day of service as well. To keep up with future vol- unteer events, visit ecu.eduvol- unteer.

He said that interrupting the Notre Dame-UNC broadcast could cause WITN a large fine for diverting its national feed for a predetermined number of hours. He also considered carrying the game on WITN's digital cable 7.2, but claimed he would lose 80 percent of his audience. Why not carry the game on digital cable live and still tape delay the game on regular cable? UCF controls the television rights and despite WITN's requests, denied moving the 4 p.m. game time. "We think this is a good game to be carried and hope it doesn't inconvenience fans too much Weeks understated. WITN has already broadcast the game at UAB and has plans to carry the Nov. 11 home game against Marshall and at Rice on Nov. 18. That is, unless, the Tar Heels are playing. JUST ASK JANE Need advice? Want answers? Just ask Jane. Dear Jane, I'm really concerned about one of my friends. I think she has an eating disorder, but obviously, that's not something I feel like I can just come out and ask her about without possibly jeopardizing our friendship. She's overly concerned with what she eats and works out a crazy amount. More than that, she's lost an astonishing amount of weight this semester and I'm very concerned about her health. Signed, Astonished Dear Astonished, Eating disorders can be a tough topic to tackle, so I understand why you seem hesitant to approach your friend. However, she is put- ting herself in an unhealthy state and if no one intervenes then she may not realize that it is a problem. People who have eating disorders have a distorted mental picture of how they appear to themselves and others around them. If you are truly worried about your friends well being then you should express your con- cerns to her. You will not jeopardize your friendship so long as you seem genuine and you do not come off as being judgmental. It is normal for both men and women to be con- cerned about what they eat but if your friend is not eating at all or is only limiting herself to lettuce and celery then she has a problem that must be addressed. There is an eating disorder center through the Brody School of Medicine at ECU that you can refer your friend to, if she agrees to go for counseling. In many cases, a person with an eating disorder does not realize that they have a problem. She obvi- ously has a negative body image that has sprouted from something. Somewhere down the line, she developed this phobia, which will take time to reverse, but if you remain a positive influence and a good friend then she will have the support she needs. I know it is scary to tell a friend that you think they have a problem, but if they are never made aware of it then they will not know to fix it. Good luck! Sincerely, Jane UPeKAL5 Pf6NPNG OM ?H0VB CALLS To WiM IN PIRATE RANTS I think one of my teachers is looking for a new student to have relations with to replace a student that graduated last fall. We beat Southern Miss! We beat Southern Miss! I love it when people chit chat very loudly on the third floor in the library. I mean, quiet study floor obviously means people can talk however loud they want. People are so smart. Recreation and leisure is not easy! I wish my roommate would stop stealing my hat. Just because I let you borrow it one time because you wanted to cover up your greasy hair for class does not mean it's yours now. ECU Parking and Transportation must be run by the devil. For the past three years, they have done every thing in their power to ruin my life. I'll write whatever I want on your boyfriend's wall, he's still sleeping with me anyway! I wish I could believe that he always cared - but I know that's not true. Being bipolar makes functioning in society the hardest thing ever sometimes, especially when no one understands. I come to the library to study but all I do is waste my time because I get nothing accomplished. Your bluetooth does not make you cool Why do you insist on wearing it in class? You sit on the front row, so it is doubtful that you are going to talk on the phone. Quit trying to play your little mind games with me. I'm not one of your easily influenced minions. You forgot that I am, and will always be, older and wiser than you. Try listening instead of arguing. I'm sure you look cool in your sunglasses when you're outside, but you just look weird when you wear them in class. I have not had more than three consecutive hours of sleep since fall break. Is it bad that I am turned off by girts who are heading into careers that don't make much money? i.e. teaching? I can't tell if the guy sitting next to me is adjusting himself or scratching himself. Either way, five times every two minutes is not healthy. Get that checked pronto. If you think the music sucks so bad in the underground (which it does), join the committee and voice your opinions. Maybe then we wont have Frail play five times a semester and we can get some music worth listening to. Just because I wear big sunglasses does not mean I am a skank. I just like looking like I have bug eyes. To the girt in marketing class who wears skinny jeans and sandals with socks -1 like it when you touch my leg under the desk or hold my hand where no one can see it. But your mouth is filthy like a sailor's or pirate's. When you learn to ask like a lady I'll be your boy toy. Enjoy life today, yesterday is gone and tomorrow may never come. You are an insignificant bleep in our lives. Yet you still proceed to create drama. Go back to studying or quitting jobs and rot. Thanks. I really do love my North Face. It keeps me warm and it is fashionable. But I hate that when I wash it, the next day it still has lint all over it. Does anybody else have that problem? You're the one that decided to transfer schools, so don't get upset when I can't come see you when you want me to. I have a life too. It's just not right for a professor to give a test at 8 a.m. the day after Halloween. Give me a break! I want to go out and celebrate! Christmas break - I can't wait! It's a woman's world, might as well faceit.theygetwhattheywant Men buy the drinks, girts call the shots. There was a couple in the hall last night arguing about a message on Facebook, how superficial can you get honestly? If the male cheerleaders aren't hooking up with the female cheerleaders, then they are dating one of them. When you start showing that you care about the things I do, I'll start caring about the things you do. I saw this girt Wednesday afternoon attempt to parallel park her car about 10 times on Jarvis. She kept doing the same thing every time before finally giving up and dnving off. It was funny, but I felt bad for her and wanted to help. I almost walked up and said, "Just get out and let me do it She probably doesn't deserve to have a driver's license. The Brody School of Medicine is awful. All you pre-med people be forewarned to choose a different school. To the girl who sits next to me in my 9 a.m. - May I suggest trying a new perfume? Please, you smell like a grandma. I love crunching acorns. To the girl I met downtown last week - My intentions were completely honorable and I wish I knew how to find you. Why can't every day in Greenville be as nice as it was on Saturday?! Why must you get in the shower stall right next to me when there are six other ones open? Please stop. Stop interfering. Stop creating unnecessary drama. Stop, stop, stop. And while you're at it Get your own life! Pee-Dee's Pet Peeve 1: People who answer their cell phone and then say: "Oh hey can I call you right back?" Why even answer the damn phone. Pee-Dee's Pet Peeve 2: Rainbows. They've had their moment. They are cool. We get it - you don't care what you look like, you're late for class, you're from eastern North Carolina, love the beach, etc. When my lips are chapped, I don't want to see your crusty feet and toes. Break out the Clarks. Pee-Dee's Pet Peeve 3: Pirates that don't vote. Soap operas remind me that my life isn't as crazy as it could be. I love Luke and Laura! On Halloween girls can dress like sluts. It happens all the time. It doesn't mean that we are sluts, maybe we dress up for fun. I'm sorry that your boyfriend can't keep his eyes off us! Get over it! Sometimes I am really hateful. Trust me? The last time you said that I wound up with a Coyote Ugly. After copying down pages of notes for at least an hour, one of my classmates asks the teacher to turn to the previous slide. The teacher does but replies with a smart comment, "You guys need to learn how to write faster I'm sorry my hand is about to fall off, I will try to write really fast next time so I can't read my notes, would that be better for you? I frequently feel the overpowering urge to run to my classes, not because I'm late but because it feels like walking takes for-ev-er. John Mayer, I just want to kick him. I just want to be man of moderate intelligence who wears a suit, so I'm going to business school. And that's how I saved Halloween. Maybe in six beers. Wow, who knew the way I walk could be so distracting to others. Next time, try focusing on looking forward, not sideways. Who stole the cookies from the cookie jar? Since when is a human being too good to flush after they go to the bathroom? I go in every single day and flush an average of three toilets because others won't. It does begin to smell worse and worse if you do that! My friend never comes to class, but expects me to just give her my notes every single day. What's up with that? Did anyone notice the purple "Visitor Parking Sign" on Fifth Street? ECU should invest in many more. I wrote a Pirate Rant about my roommate and he actually pointed it out to me and we laughed about it. That moment was probably the best moment of my entire life. I do everything at my job and I can't wait to see it fall apart when I leave next year. I'm glad you feel bad about breaking up with me. In fact, it makes me really happy. So stop trying to talk to me, it only makes you look even more pathetic. The NAACP is as racially biased as the groups they supposedly stride against. They act like they are fighting for equality but as the name states they only care about the advancement of one group. Does anyone using their brain really think that black-only groups like BSU are any less immoral than the white- only groups of the past that were so obviously wrong? Give me a break and stop being two-faced. You're creating more racial separation than the people for whom you are unjustly mad at. That CPS article makes me mad. It makes me remember that I had to buy two of those stupid things because they are all a little bit different, and neither one of my classes used them even once. I'm glad that BET speaker came and told black people why everybody hates them and for good reason. How come black people yell at other black people for not being black enough? Black is a color of skin not a type of personality. I hate having so much to do that I just want to cry all the time. Life is rough.

Election issues in the land of the free Gay marriage an important issue for many Americans JESSE PENCE OPINION WRITER Elections after election, candidates seeking our approval to represent our views and opinions, to become our voices, discuss key issues important to the American public. In life, we are all different; our country is a vast and developed melting pot of culture, religion and beliefs cre- ating one of the most unique topographical tapestries of people - that should be cultivated rather than segregated. As 1 get older and more mature, I start to wonder what my future will be and who is going to create the future I would like to see. With the coming elections, my key issues would have to be new processes for the cultivation of energy, environmental protection and finally gay marriage. To some the topic of gay marriage seems over dramatized, unimportant or the next step in an equal society. Marriage has so many diverse definitions. For some cultures it is a business arrangement, a sign of unconditional loyalty or a tax break, among countless other manifestations. One definition of marriage, by Dictionary.com is "a blending or matching of different elements or compo- nents One of my best friends is an out homosexual. He has those same dreams that many of us in college seek. To earn a degree and maybe, just maybe, meet that some- one that he is supposed to be with the rest of his life. It is that "American Dream" to be evolved enough to give yourself entirely to another behind a white picket fence played countless times in American Cinema. Our President refers to marriage as "a sanctity and religious institution Now, as I recall from Law and Poli- tics classes and U.S. History classes from high school, the government is to be far removed from any one particular religion as our country is diversified. To sponsor one religion would be to negate one reason for our formation, freedom of religion. By the standards of which I was taught on the separation of Church and State, it would be apparent that all marriages officiated by a Justice of the Peace or other governmental council should be null and void - it is a religious celebration and therefore should be kept apart from our governing body. Marriages should offer no legal contract, as all religions and denominations of religions have different interpreta- tions within their mythologies. The government should offer all people seeking partnered benefits a civil union, the joining of two parties and the collaboration of finances. Our government has rules, laws and regulations about protecting its citizens from others and themselves. Any part of a religious belief that threatens the safety of her citizens is not applicable to our freedom. For instance, within the Holy Bible stoning was used as punishment. If this practice were to reoccur in our own time, our gov- ernment would be required to intervene. Just because you're religion believes something does not mean you automatically have the freedom to do so. Our Bill of Rights clearly defines that I am an individual able to make my own decisions and not be forced like many of our ancestors to practice one specific set of religious beliefs. By this standard, your beliefs might say, "Well no, a gay marriage is a sin as it says in the Bible You are allowed to believe this and followers of your reli- gion can respect this, however, your religion should not supercede the decisions of our forefathers in determining what America was built upon. America is nothing more than a fantastic idea, a glorious experiment constantly changing, where any person with any belief and any idea would be respected, where no one has any right to force beliefs beyond inherent ethical and inherent moral codes upon you. "Marriage" is just a word. The audience determines the definition of marriage. Change the word to "civil union "partnership" or "domestic beneficiaries" they all mean the same thing, the implication is there. By our President's former statement said a year or two ago, "pro- tect the sanctity of marriage he did nothing more than contradict previous court decisions separating religious opinion from governmental process. If two people of the same sex are not to be married by the court, then neither should any couple of the opposite sex. So many people are confusing personal belief with ethical behavior, blurring boundaries that were set into effect many years ago. All people of any diversity are equal as clearly defined by our constitution. To define marriage through religion should remove it from our legal system. The other walls of hate JUSTIN SUMMER OPINION WRITER Last week's "Wall of Hate" set up by the Ledonia Wright Cultural Society was a success on campus and hopefully raised some awareness to the problems created by racism. What may be surprising to some of you Ls that the "Wall of Hate" set up in the brickyard was not the only place on campus covered with racial slurs and epithets on campus. In the library, for instance, tlie stalls in tlie men's bathroom are covered in obscenities, both racial and Iximophobic. People find die need to scribble "KKK" and phony Web sites and phone numbers to call "for a good time For years, I have seen this sort of immature and hateful graffiti on display in public bathroom stalls, but it is a completely absurd for college students to be doing it on campus. i don't understaix) how it us acceptable for peopk-to express their opinions on bathroom walls. Maybe people think it is cool because otlier people have done it; kids did it in middle school and no one cared. But, things should be different in college as I'm sure things are different at other colleges. Why is this sort ofbehavior still tolerated at ECU? These racist, hateful andor offensive comments written in bathrooms do not bother me that much because I am white and don't spend ttm much time in die bath room at Joyner. But I would bet that the many black, gay or Jewish students would be, not to mention die people wlx clean the bathrooms of Joyner. 1 think that this sort of thoughdess and immature behavior should not be tolerated here at ECU. I'm not too sure of what can be done about the problem but we should at least address it. At die football game a few weeks ago, people were appar- ently shouting obscenities in front of children and being drunk and offensive. After the game, we all received the e-mail that was Uioroughly effective at making us Pirates feel ashamed of our behavior. If being drunk ami loud in front of an opposing fan is offensive and merits a campus-wide e-mail and guilt trip, why is this BS in the BR tolerated? Once again, I must stress the fact that we are college students and should act like it. Writing on bathroom stalls might be amusing in elementary schcxil, but things should be different in a college atmosphere.

So I'm here to tell you what to wear and what not to wear. I'm no fashionista, but I've con- sulted a few helpful Web sites that will hopefully get the Pirates into tip-top fashion shape. The first site that I came upon in the way of fall fashion assistance is per- sonalshopper.com where you can search among many labels from DKN Y to Dolce & Gabbana Of course as college students the price tags may seem a bit intimidating at first but you can browse the discount section and get designer clothes at a decent bar- gain. Even if you don't plan on buying the big names, you can scan the shelves of the online store and get some ideas for your own look. According to the Internet and its infinite wisdom, there are sev- eral must-haves for the ladies this season. First of all, please keep in mind that appar- ently gold is back in. Every designer is using it and sometimes, over using it. As for styles, the tunic sweater is at the top of the list and looks snazziest when paired with slim pants or "skinny "jean. As you've probably seen around campus, wide belts worn over the clothes are definitely in right now and make a great addition to the tunic sweater, accentuating the waistline and hips. Reverting back to the 1980s, pencil pants (slim-fit, tailored trousers with form fitting fabrics) are also hot this season Think stirrup pants minus the stirrups and slightly less unsightly. The snug pants look great tucked into boots and accompanied by a tunic top. If you're feeling a little sassier, day dresses paired with pencil pants or leggings are also hot right now. Or there are the romantic tops with rich flowy fabrics that haven't yet finished their stint on the fashion scene. For the fall season you can wear these alone with an ever trendy fitted jacket or go for the layered look. As for shoes, one of the major perks of cold weather is the excuse to wear tall boots. You can make a statement and wear high contoured boots with a skirt, over jeans, or once again bring in the pencil pants to create a very fashion conscious ensemble. sories. You can find everything from If the tall boots are little too extreme for you, ankle boots are also a popular and hot addition to any outfit. Jeans, skinny pants, leg- gings, skirts, they look good with whatever and anyone can pull them off But why would you want to when they look so good on?! The ballet flat is still reign- ing as one of the favorite footwear acces- all types of styles with bows to lace adorning pers. And of course they can work with any outfit, beefing up the simplest styles. At fashion.about, com they answer the question that's been plaguing me for years, how does one layer? Not everyone can pull of the layered look like the models, but have no fear, there are a few helpful hints at how to look good and still stay warm. Layer lightweight skirts and dresses over jeans. This look works best over skinny jeans and with skirts that aren't too full or long. Layer funky T-shirts over long-sleeve white (or other solid) T-shirts. Get a fitted jacket in denim, corduroy or velvet that looks good with any ensemble. Layer the bottom half of your body with tights worn under knee-high boots. For a polished, professional look you can layer a matching shell and cardigan. For a more stylish look, mix fabrics by putting a sequined shrug over a T-shirt or a denim jacket over black jersey.

Project road trip: Gone wrong Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio has some of the best roller coasters in the US How to salvage your trip even if you can't salvage your car JENNY AYERS STAFF WRITKR Our little adventure begins when three North Carolinians and a I'ittsburgher decide to take a weekend road trip to Sandusky, Ohio to visit the world's best amusement park. Cedar Point. On Friday, Oct. 20, three friends and I piled into my 1994 Nissan Sentra for a weekend excursion that would turn into a test of sur- vival skills After Alex's (the I'ittsburgher) introduction to the fabulousness that is Bojangles, we were on our way north. About the time we reach West Virginia, I real- ize all eight of our entry tickets into the park are still sitting in Greenville. We're talking $300 worth of paper here After a mini breakdown, I call my roommate who saves the day by over-night- ing the tickets to our hotel. One crisis down, many more to go. Thanks to my NASCAR-like driving skills and minimal stop- ping, we are making excellent time. After being on the road tor just seven hours, we're merely 100 miles from our Lake Erie destina- tion. My enthusiasm wanes when I start to hear an unfamiliar sound coming from beneath the hood. As I pull on to the shoulder, my car shuts ofTand emotional break- down number two accompanies the automotive breakdown. After some rest for the car and encouragement from my crew, I decide to start her up and get off on the next exit and hope to goodness it's just a spark plug. So we roll into New Philadelphia, Ohio (yeah, I have never heard of it either) where luckily there's a garage nearby. Well of course it isn't just a spark plug, that'd be way too easy. The fact is I need a new engine. That's exactly what you want to hear when you're 400 miles from home. Commence breakdown number three. After plotting, thinking and calculating, we come up with the obvious solution: We'll rent a U-Haul! We be-bop over to the rental place and of course they're fresh out. They do, however, have a 1985 Monte Carlo sitting out front but they say $200 just won't cut it. So we cruise (I use the term loosely as my car was ready to give way any second) on over to a nearby car rental place and hope they'll be able to rent something to three broke college kids. Unfor- tunately, if you're out of state, you have to have a credit card and the only one of us with one is my friend Alex, a 19-year-old with an expired Australian driver's license. So that's a no-go and here comes breakdown number four. Finally, they take pity on us and (illegally) give us a car. Two hundred dollars later, we are on our way again in a 2000 Grand Am. Quite the upgrade. There's just one catch, we have to return the car to the same rental place by Monday, which means we need another way home. Oh well, we'll cross that bridge when we get there. Except with our luck, the bridge will crumble into pieces just as we're about to cross. We spend three relatively stress-free days at "America's Roller Coast Cedar Point. With over 68 rides and attractions, including 16 (soon to be 17) roller coasters, it certainly made up for all the breakdowns. Then comes Monday - the second longest day of my life (the first being two weeks prior when I managed to dislocate my shoulder on 1-40 coming back from Greensboro). With bus tickets in hand, we trek Don't be bored, play some board games see ROADTRIP page A5 Fun for people of all ages SHANNON DAVIS STAFF WRITER Board games have been around for centuries. In 400BC a Babylonian board game was played that is much like the common day games chess and checkers. From there, games have evolved into what we now consider the classics. Milton Bradley, Parker Brothers, Disney and Playskool are among the most recognized game creators, known worldwide. Many adults think that board games are just for kids. This fal- lacy is proven wrong when games specifically designed to entertain and challenge adults such as Cra- nium or Trivial Pursuit are played.

Now I have to warn you that the food prices at the City Bistro cfcfilSTE Conferences Wefdtngs were a hit high, hut it was worth it to dine in such a warm and inviting atmosphere for a change. I also have to admit that the food was a bit overpriced considering the quality; it lacked the flavors that were expected after read- ing the description on the menu. My favorite part of the eve- ning was listening to the jazz music that was being played live on the stage in front of us. The music was refreshing compared to the amount of junk that is played on the radio these days and I dare say it was the best live performance I've seen in months. They offer a full service bar with nightly drink specials to cater to those who just want to enjoy the music before heading home after a long day at work. Nn that I've found this gem there is no doubt that The City Bistro will be a vital part of my entertainment options.

ROADTRIP continued from A4 through the newly arrived snow to return our rental car. After junking my car and calling a taxi, we make it to the bus stop just as the bus is ready to pull out. There begins our iO-hour journey hack to North Carolina. Sure we could have flown, but we don't have that kind of money and we would have missed out on our highway tour of the northeastern United States. At our first stop, we befriend some Amish folks who are cer- tain North Carolina has to be in Canada. Based on this logic, they can't understand how we are "Southerners" so they determine we are from Texas. We just go with it. Then comes Pittsburgh where a passenger manages to dump a 40 ounces beer on the floor and all over my friend's belongings. In her frenzy, she unknowingly drops her cell phone, which is of course picked up by a fellow- passenger and never returned. Breakdown number five. Kn route to Baltimore, we are awoken by what smells like burning plastic. After many complaints and coughs, the driver turns on the lights to reveal a bus full of smoke. We pull off for a little while to air it out and then collectively decide to turn off the heat. I'd rather have a heatless bus in 30 degree Pennsylvania weather than lungs full of smoke. But one passenger decides she wants off because the thing is sure to blow But I say I'd rather keep on trucking than make this a two-day bus ride. What's that, breakdown number six? The rest of the trip through Baltimore, D.C. and Richmond is relatively uneventful minus an unexpected three-hour layover in Virginia. The important thing is that we finally made it back, how- ever in debt and car-less I may he. What I learned from all this is that no matter what kind of road trip you're taking, you have to be mentally and finan- cially prepared for anything. You never know where you'll be when your car starts to act up or when you'll have a break- down, but as long as there are friends, patience and maybe a few Amish people in the mix, any trip can be a successful one.

It's great for younger kids because a lot of games can teach them things, but as far as I'm con- cerned, I'm bored.

The school will hire one of three competing design firms as early as this week as the initial stage in a plan to make upgrades to Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium, as well as the Softball field and Bag- well Field. "The design firm will develop feasibility studies for improve- ments to all athletic facilities including expansion of Dowdy- Ficklen, luxury suites, new office space for coaches, locker rooms for teams and end zone seating Ath- letics Director Terry Holland said. According to ECU's Assistant Athletics Director of Internal Affairs, Gary Overton, the plans include adding luxury boxes to the press box side of the stadium, moving the athletics offices to new facilities on that same side and placing permanent bleachers on a temporary basis at the open south scoreboard end of the field. "Our dream is to bowl in the scoreboard end of the stadium and create as many lower level seats as possible Holland said in an Oct. 4 radio interview. "End zone is great seating for former players, people who really care about the game, who like to watch the block- ing schemes, particularly ifyou have access to the video replays and the video screens so that you can spot the ball. It's hard to tell where the spot's gonna be in terms of the chains, but other than that, that is by far the best spot to watch the game The improving football pro- gram and expected home sellouts in 2007 against North Carolina and N.C. State with the expanded seating will be used as criteria to validate eventually closing in the scoreboard end of the stadium. "We'd like to create as many seats as we possibly can in that end zone Holland said. "We intend to try to get that done, at least on a temporary basis, by next season. Then, put in as many seats as we can. With temporary seats, you can probably put about 50 to 60 percent of the number you'd like to eventually have there The foreseen changes for the soft- ball and soccer facilities are adding possible lights and expanded seating. "We are in great need for locker room space, particularly for our women's sports Holland said. "We are in great need for office space and what I think what will eventually happen, and we need a professional to tell us how it can be done and how much it's gonna cost, we'll figure out what ECU needs for the next 10 or 15 years as best we can tell at this stage, and then start building those facilities Holland added that he envi- sions a new press box, a "consider- able building under the stands" on the press box side to house locker rooms, athletic offices and luxury box suites at the top level. The plans are still in the pre- design stage, and no timeline has been set for completion. This writer can be contacted at sportstheeastcarolinian.com.

Hopes of undefeated season gone JARED JACKSON STAFF WKITKR The club hockey team entered this past weekend's games unde- feated and after a 1-3 thriller with Richmond on Friday, they lost a hard fought battle against Loyola on Saturday On Friday, the KCV men's hockey team took on Richmond who came in with an undefeated record and atop the Northeast Din islon of the Blue Ridge Hockey Conferebc Things didn't look so bright for ECU after the first period. ECU went into the first inter- mission down 3-0 against Rich- mond Tyler Falcon, a sophomore forward scored the first goal for ECU in the second period on a power play a little over 14 minutes into the period. Nathan Buhr, a junior forward scored next, less than two minutes later on even strength. ECU went into the second intermission down a goal. Shortly into the third period, Falcon added another goal barely five minutes into the period. The game winner came from Buhr with only 1:10 left in the third period. After getting down three goals, ECU scored four unanswered, winning -3. 'file game was revenge for the Pirates from last year's BRHC finals when ECU lost 6-4 to the Spiders. On Saturday, ECU took on Loyola in a non-conference game. Once again ECU fell behind early and after the first period was down 2-0. Less than five minutes into the second period, Loyola had distanced its lead to 4-0. The first goal for ECU came from senior defenseman Jordan Meyers with 9:07 left in the second period. ECU would pull within two after a goal from Zach John- ston with 3:25 remaining in the second period. The crowd finally got back into the game after being shocked by a 4-0 start by Loyola ECU (4-1, 4-0 BRHC) would draw even closer with another goal by Johnston, a freshman forward with 13:58 to go in the third period. Loyola would answer with 7:35 left with another goal to increases its lead to 5-3. Less than two minutes later, Corey Fleitz, a junior forward and co-founder scored to bring ECU within a goa After many opportunities in the waning minutes, ECU could not score giving Loyola the 5-4 win. After the game, ECU Head Coach Wayne Cox was upset about the loss, but also optimistic that it would only make the team better. "I think we were moderately successful said Cox. "I think we had a great win last night against Richmond, but I think that look- ing at how we lost tonight, they didn't beat us, we beat ourselves. We clearly beat ourselves. It prob- ably was necessary for us to lose to get better, and hopefully the guys will take a message back from this; that even though you have better skills than the other team, you can still lose the hockey game because you do bonehead things when you shouldn't. All in all, the kids are playing, and I'm proud as heck of After six years, softball assistant Natalie Kozlowski will receive a raise.

Fleitz, a 6-foot-4, 810 pound forward thought the team showed of heart in the two games but also admitted the games made for a tough weekend. "We had a tough weekend said Fleitz. "Against Loyola things were just far and away. It's a turning point in our season. We are going to go up from here. We had a lot of heart ECU moves to second in the Southwest Division within the BRHC, trailing Clemson by two points. The Pirates are undefeated in the BRHC, having defeated William & Mary, Old Dominion, Virginia Common- wealth and Richmond. Cox also shared his thoughts on the season up to this point. "The season so far has been right on the mark as to what we wanted to accomplish the second-year head coach said. "We were two goals away from being exactly where we want to be. We want to be undefeated. We wanted to run the table. I thought that if we could have won two games this weekend, we could have gone undefeated for the season. Basi- cally, we were two goals short of being perfect for where we are.

SOFTBALL continued from A6 coach throughout her time with the Pirates. Kozlowski also had the responsibility as recruiting coordinator, scouting director and conditioning coach during her tenure at ECU. Kozlowski's squads dominate the ECU record book as she is responsible for teams ranked first or second in 10 out of 11 catego- ries. Offensively, her squads rank number one in games played, at- bats, home runs, base on balls, hits, RBI and doubles. They are ranked second in batting average and stolen bases. Kozlowski guided the Pirate offense to its highest home run total in school history in 2005 with 57, shattering the previ- ous record of 40 set in 1999. Last season the ECU offense led Conference USA in SAC bunts with 89, while finish- ing third in doubles, second in Sacrifice flies and second in stolen bases. Kozlowski has coached sixteen all-conference members at ECU. Kozlowski was an assistant to Kee when she was awarded Conference USA Coach-of-the- Year in 2005. The Pirates have amassed a record of 252-147 with Kozlowski as an assistant, including the school record 60- win season in 2000. "Being able to retain Coach Koz for seven years has made a direct impact on our program's success said Kee. "She's a tireless worker with an uncanny teaching ability. Working side by side with a coach who's loyal, driven and completely committed to our program and university is priceless.
