ECU sent forty students to<lb />
Washington, D.C. on Monday to<lb />
participate in the "March on Wash-<lb />
ington to Save Brown v. Board of<lb />
Education an event sponsored by<lb />
BAMN, the Coalition to Defend<lb />
Affirmative Action Integration and<lb />
Immigrant Rights and Fight for<lb />
Equality By Any Means Necessary.<lb />
ECU's contingent, the largest<lb />
sent by any North Carolina uni-<lb />
versity, left on a bus at 2:30 a.m.<lb />
on Monday to join a largely col-<lb />
legiate crowd of several hundred<lb />
on the steps of the Supreme Court.<lb />
They then marched to the Lincoln<lb />
Memorial, taking the same path as<lb />
the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. did<lb />
on his historic 1963 march.<lb />
Protesters from across the<lb />
country showed up in response to<lb />
a combination of two cases dealing<lb />
with school systems' attempts Uf.<lb />
achieve a racial balance that the<lb />
court began hearing on Monday.<lb />
The cases have created a<lb />
national firestorm with some,<lb />
including many at the march, who<lb />
worry that if the court rules in favor<lb />
of the plaintiffs, it could reverse<lb />
many of the gains made after the<lb />
1954 "Brown v. Topeka Board of<lb />
Education" decision, which explic-<lb />
itly banned segregation in public<lb />
education.<lb />
"It's ridiculous that the Supreme<lb />
Court would even entertain the<lb />
notion of hearing these cases<lb />

Christmas parade<lb />
brings joy to young<lb />

VANESSA CLARKE<lb />
STAFF WRITER<lb />
In uptown Greenville on Sat-<lb />
urday, it was beginning to feel a lot<lb />
like Christmas.<lb />
Green pine wreaths with big<lb />
red and gold bows hung from<lb />
the lampposts. Larger-than-life<lb />
nutcrackers stood guard at the<lb />
storefront of Jefferson's Florist in<lb />
the old Blount Harvey building,<lb />
while strings of unlit lights in the<lb />
shape of a Christmas tree twinkled<lb />
in the sunlight. The people who<lb />
lined Evans Street wore Santa<lb />
hats, reindeer antlers, Christmas<lb />
sweaters or were just bundled<lb />
up against the wind. Despite the<lb />
cold, residents came out to watch<lb />
the Greenville Christmas Parade,<lb />
which is put on every year by the<lb />
Greenville Jaycees.<lb />
There were about 120 entries<lb />
into the parade this year from<lb />
Greenville and the surrounding<lb />
areas, according to Karen Smith,<lb />
assistant director of the First Year<lb />
Center and freshman orientation,<lb />
as well as a member of the Jaycees<lb />
and chairperson of the parade.<lb />
The parade usually draws any-<lb />
where from 2,000 to 3,000 people,<lb />
but, "It is very hard to estimate<lb />
because they're all lined up along<lb />
the road said Smith.<lb />
The Grand Marshalls this year<lb />
were Chancellor Steve Ballard, his<lb />
wife, Nancy Adams Ballard and<lb />
their dog.<lb />
"They were very insistent<lb />
about the dog Smith said.<lb />
Sitting on Evans Street, spec-<lb />
tators could hear the parade,<lb />
especially the high school bands'<lb />
drummers, before they came into<lb />
view.<lb />
The first visible sign of the<lb />
parade was the motorcycle riding<lb />
police officers that led the way with<lb />
blue lights flashing. The Grand<lb />
Marshalls drove by next, in a silver<lb />
convertible.<lb />
There were several other floats<lb />
and entries into the parade. The<lb />
Winterville Recreation and Parks<lb />
Twirlers featured young girls<lb />
dressed in blue, gold and white<lb />
costumes twirling their batons in<lb />

Students voice concerns to deans<lb />
Annual Deans and<lb />
Issues Forum held<lb />
Thursday<lb />
ADELINE TRENTO<lb />
STAFF WRITER<lb />
Last Thursday, Nov. 30, the<lb />
National Leadershipand Honor Soci-<lb />
ety, Omicron Delta Kappa, sponsored<lb />
the annual Deans and Issues Forum.<lb />
The forum, which was held in<lb />
the Bate building, gave students a<lb />
chance to talk openly and discuss<lb />
concerns with deans from various<lb />
areas on campus.<lb />
Students were given the chance<lb />
to interact with very important<lb />
people including Dr. Lathan Turner,<lb />
the assistant vice chancellor for<lb />
Intercultural Student Affairs, Dr.<lb />
Virginia Hardy from the Brody<lb />
School of Medicine, Dr. Al Smith<lb />
from the First Year Center and Dr.<lb />
James Westmoreland, the associate<lb />
dean for External Affairs.<lb />
Many students at the event felt<lb />
that the Deans and Issues Forum<lb />
was a great opportunity and a very<lb />
beneficial experience for students.<lb />
"This event allows students to<lb />
stay connected and know what's<lb />
going on within the University<lb />
said Steven Such, senior manage-<lb />
ment major. "It also helps to show<lb />
students the resources that are<lb />
available to them and they get to see<lb />
the different perspectives on issues.<lb />
At the same time, there are four<lb />
great names here that are available<lb />
and easy to get to<lb />
Dr. Turner agrees that the<lb />
Deans and Issues Forum was a<lb />
beneficial experience for students.<lb />
As a professional that works with<lb />
students on a daily basis, Turner<lb />
believes that speaking at this event<lb />
was very important.<lb />
"My entire background has<lb />
been in student affairs said Turner.<lb />
"We understand that the full devel-<lb />
opment of students means that we<lb />
have to be actively engaged. We<lb />
can't just sit behind a desk and<lb />
administrate, we have to be face<lb />
to face and help students through<lb />
all of the different issues. Most<lb />
of us take this on as a personal<lb />
obligation as well as a professional<lb />
obligation. We want to help stu-<lb />
dents grow, learn and develop<lb />
Students discussed concerns<lb />
ranging from the upcoming cen-<lb />
tennial, leadership trends, the new<lb />
dental program and ways to help<lb />
first year students transition into<lb />
college were all addressed.<lb />
Students and faculty were also<lb />
given time to speak about their<lb />
hopes for the future of ECU. Stu-<lb />
dents discussed their desire for<lb />
more women leaders, a women's<lb />
center and a larger mentor program.<lb />
The overwhelming consensus<lb />
at the event was that students want<lb />
child in the school of their choosing.<lb />
However, in 2002, a white boy's<lb />
mother was not allowed to transfer<lb />
her son to another school because<lb />
it would have reduced the number<lb />
of white students at his current<lb />
school below the required percent-<lb />
age, which had been instituted to<lb />
achieve racial balance. She sued<lb />
the school system, saying that the<lb />
system had violated her son's con-<lb />
stitutional right of equal protection.<lb />
The Seattle case is similar. A plan<lb />
called "Open Choice" gave parents<lb />
the ability to send their kids to any<lb />
school in the system. But with some<lb />
schools being more popular and<lb />
more requested than others, a racial<lb />
"tiebreaker" was established for the<lb />
most applied to schools to maintain<lb />
a racial balance.<lb />
Critics of the "tiebreaker<lb />
mainly from the system's pre-<lb />
dominately white district, formed<lb />
Parents Involved in Community<lb />
Schools and sued the system saying<lb />
that it was a form of unconsti-<lb />
tutional racial discrimination.<lb />
Both suits have lost in a string<lb />
of federal court appeals, with<lb />
the courts usually saying that<lb />
a racially diverse school system<lb />
does more good than harm.<lb />
Solicitor General Paul D. Clement,<lb />
the man responsible for arguing the<lb />
case for the federal government in<lb />
front of the court, said in the case's<lb />
brief that though school systems<lb />
are justified in wanting to produce<lb />
racially balanced schools "the solu-<lb />
tion to addressing racial imbalance<lb />
in communities or student bodies<lb />
is not to adopt race-conscious<lb />
measures<lb />

An administrative hearing was<lb />
held in the Pitt County Courthouse<lb />
on Monday for a former ECU<lb />
employee and two former students<lb />
charged in connection with a finan-<lb />
cial aid scam at the university,<lb />
according to Clark Everett, Pitt<lb />
County district attorney.<lb />
Dehra Cherry Albritton, 52,<lb />
Keith Peten, 41, and Mike Elliot<lb />
Smith, 25, have each previously<lb />
been indicted on one count of felony<lb />
conspiracy. Peten has also indicted<lb />
on two felony counts of aiding and<lb />
abetting to obtain property by false<lb />
pretense, while Smith and Albritton<lb />
each have received two felony indict-<lb />
ments of obtaining property by false<lb />
pretenses.<lb />
All of the indictments were<lb />
handed down on Oct. 16, 2006.<lb />
The indictments were the result<lb />
of a two-year investigation into<lb />
the financial aid department and<lb />
indicate the three took more than<lb />
$100,000 from the university.<lb />
Court documents reveal that<lb />
the money was taken while Albrit-<lb />
ton was assistant director of the<lb />
financial aid office. Albritton, along<lb />
with Peten and Smith, recruited<lb />
students who did not meet standards<lb />
to qualify for financial aid to apply.<lb />

Couple shares realities<lb />

VANESSA CLARKE<lb />
STAFF WRITER<lb />
Wright Auditorium was packed<lb />
with students intent on listening<lb />
to the presentation entitled A Boy,<lb />
A Girl, A Virus given by Gwenn<lb />
Barringer and Shawn Decker, a<lb />
couple dealing with the traumas of<lb />
HIVAIDS.<lb />
The program was about<lb />
Human Immunodeficiency Virus<lb />
and Acquired Immune Deficiency<lb />
Syndrome, and the speakers came<lb />
to talk about a relationship that<lb />
involves HIVAIDS.<lb />
"We're here to talk to you<lb />
about when one person has HlV<lb />
and the other doesn't said Decker.<lb />
Decker has AIDS, however<lb />
Berringer does not, and the couple<lb />
wanted to share with students that it<lb />
is possible to have a "loving, sexual<lb />
relationship and have the other<lb />
partner remain HIV negative<lb />
Decker had a disclaimer about<lb />
the presentation that acknowledged<lb />
that HIVAIDS was not funny, but<lb />
that humor was one of his coping<lb />
mechanisms. He said that he used<lb />
humor to get by.<lb />
"Please give me your laughter<lb />
he said. "It helps me live, it helps<lb />
me survive<lb />
He paused before adding, "You all<lb />
have to laugh at my corny jokes now<lb />
Barringer then spoke about<lb />
herself and how she got involved in<lb />
AIDS education, which led to her<lb />
relationship with Decker.<lb />
When she was an 18-year-old<lb />
freshman in college, she was con-<lb />
vinced that AIDS was not something<lb />
that would affect her personally.<lb />
"It was always something that<lb />
happened to other people said<lb />
Barringer. "I just wasn't sure who<lb />
those people were, but I knew they<lb />
were out there<lb />
However, Barringer saw a<lb />
young woman speak about her<lb />
experiences living with AIDS and<lb />
it completely changed her life.<lb />
"She was just like me Barrin-<lb />
ger said. "It just really struck me<lb />
that there are people like me out<lb />
therewith HIV"<lb />
The woman's story spurred Bar-<lb />
ringer to get involved with AIDS<lb />
education. She went to graduate<lb />
school where sne researched HIV<lb />
prevention in high school students.<lb />
Barringer and Decker met and<lb />
became friends at a presentation<lb />
about AIDS. Eventually, she said,<lb />
they noticed that their feelings had<lb />
developed part the pointoffriendship,<lb />
"It was never in my master plan<lb />
to fall in love with someone with<lb />
HIV Barringer said. "This wasn't<lb />
something I looked for, but I'm glad<lb />
I did it because it's been the best<lb />
relationship of my life"<lb />
After a bit of banter between the<lb />
couple, Decker went on to tell how<lb />
he contracted HIV and how it has<lb />
affected him.<lb />
Decker was born with the<lb />
blood-clotting condition hemo-<lb />
philia and contracted HIV through<lb />
one of the blood products he was<lb />
given to help his condition. In<lb />
the early I9S0s, there was no<lb />
blood-screening test to make<lb />
sure viruses did not get into the<lb />
blood supply.<lb />
"One blood product was like<lb />
having sex with thousands of<lb />
people at one time he said, "but<lb />
not as fun<lb />
In sixth grade, Decker found<lb />
out he was infected and was told<lb />
he had two years to live. His diag-<lb />
nosis got him kicked out of school<lb />
because the school's administration<lb />
did not recognize that HIV "can't<lb />
be transmitted through number<lb />
two pencils, spitballs, wedgies and<lb />
whatever else happens in the sixth<lb />
grade Decker said.<lb />
Decker was readmitted to<lb />
school in time tor seventh grade<lb />

BRIEFS<lb />
Army enlistment regulations<lb />
make way for 40-somet hing recruits<lb />
(AP)  Sharon Samuel spent<lb />
Sept. 11,2001, on a New York City<lb />
bus, trying to get to the World<lb />
Trade Center to do anything she<lb />
could to help.<lb />
When she couldn't, she looked<lb />
to the Army to do her part, only to<lb />
find out she was too old.<lb />
"I wanted to serve, I wanted<lb />
to give back said the 40-year-old<lb />
Trinidad native who worked as a<lb />
hairdresser in Brooklyn. "I have<lb />
felt the pain New Yorkers felt<lb />
Samuel got a second chance<lb />
when the Army increased its<lb />
enlistment age.<lb />
More than 1,460 people 35 and<lb />
older have enlisted in the Army<lb />
and Army Reserve since the ser-<lb />
vices raised the limit from 35 to 42<lb />
over the last year and a half.<lb />
The change is part of an effort<lb />
to help reach its recruitment<lb />
goals amid an unpopular war and<lb />
mounting casualties and has led<lb />
those like Samuel to Port Lee,<lb />
about 25 miles south of Richmond,<lb />
for training in logistical support.<lb />
Will new N.C. fiscal reform<lb />
commission prompt tax overhaul?<lb />
(AP)  Legislators have heard<lb />
it all before: North Carolina needs<lb />
to overhaul its financial structure<lb />
or risk ruin.<lb />
If they don't, economists say,<lb />
the General Assembly will have<lb />
to keep raiding trust funds and<lb />
raising taxes to balance the state<lb />
budget. Local governments argue<lb />
they'll have to keep driving up<lb />
property taxes to pay for Med-<lb />
icaid, transportation and school<lb />
construction needs.<lb />
The commission is supposed<lb />
to complete its work by May, but<lb />
Hoyle and other members already<lb />
are discussing putting off a final<lb />
report until 2008. That will make<lb />
legislators think twice before<lb />
passing something controversial<lb />
during an election year. Wait until<lb />
2009, and Easley's successor at the<lb />
Executive Mansion also may defer<lb />
on such a high-risk venture.<lb />
Cumberland County Commis-<lb />
sioner Breeden Blackwell, also a<lb />
commission member, said his col-<lb />
leagues in Raleigh can't be afraid<lb />
to make tough choices.<lb />
"You shouldn't be in elected<lb />
office if you're not willing to kind<lb />
of take a stand and sometimes it<lb />
makes people mad he said. "Every<lb />
time I raise my hand at home I<lb />
don't make everybody happy<lb />
Trapeze artist revives father's<lb />
flying troupe with Cirque twist<lb />
(AP)  In his father's day, a<lb />
triple or quadruple somersault was<lb />
the most daring thing a flying tra-<lb />
peze artist could do. But in a time of<lb />
Cirque du Soleil's theatrics and con-<lb />
tortions, George Caceres decided the<lb />
number of rotations a person could<lb />
do in flight was not as exciting as the<lb />
number of people flying in sync.<lb />
t Caceres followed his family<lb />
into the mid-air somersault busi-<lb />
ness when he was five, touring<lb />
the world and performing for the<lb />
Ringling Bros, and Barnum and<lb />
Bailey Circus. Now 28, he has<lb />
revived his father's troupe with a<lb />
nod to Cirque's success instead of<lb />
his Ringling roots.<lb />
Instead of just swinging from<lb />
one trapeze to another in a straight<lb />
line, Caceres choreographed a<lb />
routine that sends his troupe<lb />
vertically and diagonally across<lb />
a custom-made rigging, with as<lb />
many as four of the seven members<lb />
flying at the same time - two on<lb />
high bars and two below.<lb />
"Flying trapeze is very pre-<lb />
dictable. It doesn't really thrill<lb />
people like it did in 1859 when<lb />
Jules Leotard invented it in<lb />
Paris. You know what's going to<lb />
happen Caceres said. "When you<lb />
watch flying trapeze and if there's<lb />
one catcher, one bar, he's going<lb />
in that direction. When you see<lb />
this act, people don't know. It<lb />
keeps them on their toes a little<lb />
bit more. That's what makes it<lb />
different<lb />
Miguel Caceres' goal when<lb />
he started The Flying Caceres<lb />
in 1982 was to push the limits of<lb />
the human body in flight. His son<lb />
pushes those limits with more<lb />
panache, he said.<lb />
"It's more complicated. There's<lb />
more excitement, more action in<lb />
the air said Miguel Caceres, who<lb />
learned the flying trapeze as a boy<lb />
in Colombia. "It's a new dimension<lb />
of flying today.  Today, it's not<lb />
really how much you do up there,<lb />
it's really how you do it<lb />

Many students at the Deans<lb />
and Issues Forum spoke about<lb />
their concern that although ECU<lb />
is recognized for its medicai pro-<lb />
gram, other areas are sometimes<lb />
dismissed. The students felt that<lb />
many programs at ECU deserve<lb />
recognition and they would like<lb />
to see these programs get national<lb />
credit for accomplishments.<lb />
Mike Miller, senior commu-<lb />

not only on a national level but on<lb />

they are going to ECU so it's not<lb />

Miller.<lb />
The speakers at this year's<lb />

leaders and come to future events<lb />

about changes they would like to<lb />

Ambulances and fire trucks, such<lb />

RANT OF THE DAY<lb />
Do you know why Santa is always so<lb />
jolly? Because he knows where all the<lb />
naughty girls live!<lb />
 We do Opinion right<lb />
Backpedaling<lb />
to segregation<lb />
Why would anyone even reconsider<lb />
Brown vs. Board of Education?<lb />
JESSICA DUNLOW<lb />
OPINION WRITER<lb />
In 1954, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on a<lb />
landmark case that changed the lives of students<lb />
across the nation. Brown vs. Board of Education<lb />
was a suit brought up in Topeka, Kansas that vis-<lb />
ibly outlawed racial segregation in public schools.<lb />
Through the trials of the case, people finally began<lb />
to understand how unjust the treatment of African<lb />
Americans was.<lb />
The idea of equality swept the nation and now,<lb />
the age of segregation and discrimination is over<lb />
or is it?<lb />
Two court cases are returning to the Supreme<lb />
Court this month that threaten the existence of our<lb />
equal schooling. A ruling against Brown vs. Board<lb />
of Education here could mean that our friends and<lb />
family could be forced to return to the life of seg-<lb />
regation and inferiority. Because, let's face it, the<lb />
"separate but equal rationale decided by Plessy vs.<lb />
Ferguson was not fair or equal.<lb />
The Brown litigation decided that, "Segrega-<lb />
tion of white and colored children in public schools<lb />
has a detrimental effect upon the colored children<lb />
A sense of inferiority affects the motivation of a<lb />
child to learn The ruling still holds true, and<lb />
there is no reason to return to authorized enforce-<lb />
ment of segregation.<lb />
Students in colleges and high schools around<lb />
the nation have banded together and everyone<lb />
needs to take a stand. ECU thrives on diversity<lb />
and needs to do something about this and raise<lb />
awareness. As you may have read on the front page,<lb />
ECU students even traveled to Washington DC.<lb />
on Monday to protest at the Supreme Court with<lb />
thousands of other people from across the nation.<lb />
Students today were not alive when the original<lb />
case went to court. However, we are the deciding<lb />
factor in the political considerations now. If the<lb />
students of the United States band together and<lb />
show their intense support of Brown vs. Board of<lb />
Education, then we can avoid reverting to a history<lb />
that should remain in the past.<lb />
It is important to our generation to defend the<lb />
Brown ruling and to continue to see each of our<lb />
fellow Americans as equal and not separate. Join<lb />
in the fight against segregation.<lb />
ECU pimps<lb />
out robes<lb />
Purple graduation gowns for<lb />
everyone<lb />
BRIDGET TODD<lb />
OPINION WRITER<lb />
Does anyone else remember graduation from<lb />
kindergarten? At my school, our teacher gave us<lb />
pretty blue sheets to make into gowns and taught<lb />
us how to make graduation caps out of construction<lb />
paper. We all filed out of our classroom in a line and<lb />
received mock-up diplomas, rolled in a bright blue<lb />
ribbon. Students tripped over their "gowns" and all<lb />
the parents took pictures and cooed. After all, we<lb />
were children playing dress up - pretending that<lb />
we were meeting a huge life ambition. It was cute,<lb />
and everyone loved it. That was graduation from<lb />
kindergarten. We were kids, so it was OK for it to be<lb />
cute and silly. Come 2007, I will be graduating for<lb />
real. When I look back at my graduation pictures,<lb />
I want to see dignified figures of adulthood. I<lb />
want the ceremony to have been treated with the<lb />
reverence and respect it deserves.<lb />
Above all, I don't want to see bright purple.<lb />
In a recent SGA meeting, an administrative<lb />
representative told us about the push to switch from<lb />
black to bright purple commencement gowns. Our<lb />
job as students was to pick the type - a crushed<lb />
velour bright purple gown, a matte thin bright<lb />
purple gown, a shiny thin bright purple gown or<lb />
plain ole'just like your grandma's curtains bright<lb />
purple gown. I'm insulted by the fact that this deci-<lb />
sion will mostly bean administrative one. The only<lb />
student "input" they've asked for is help choosing a<lb />
type of gown. If ECU supposedly has so much stu-<lb />
dent-run decision-making, why didn't they ask us<lb />
if we wanted purple gowns in the first place? After<lb />
all, we're the ones who will be wearing them.<lb />
At the meeting, the representative informed us<lb />
that decision would supposedly boost dwindling<lb />
commencement attendance and promote school<lb />
pride just in time for the centennial year. There<lb />
will be big changes to help boost school spirit, like<lb />
changing all the street signs to purple and gold. I<lb />
think increasing school spirit would be great, but<lb />
there's a difference between painting your face at<lb />
a football game and wearing your school colors<lb />
to commencement. What's next? Diplomas being<lb />
handed out by Peedee the Pirate? If administrators<lb />
and students want ECU to be taken seriously as a<lb />
respectable institution among the likes of nearby<lb />
schools UNC and Duke, they should think long and<lb />
hard before endorsing these purple gowns.<lb />
This is all part of the ECU Brand Enhancement<lb />
agenda - the push to add more purple and gold<lb />
to campus to make an impression on prospective<lb />
students. In other words, it's about money. It's a<lb />
marketing shtick.<lb />
Personally, I want my graduation to be about<lb />
my class and our accomplishments. I don't want<lb />
it to be about administrators patting each other's<lb />
backs and congratulating themselves on bringing<lb />
in extra money by shilling out their graduates.<lb />
They can treat ECU like a brand to be advertised<lb />
if they want, but they won't use me to do it. On<lb />
commencement day, maybe I'll just stay home.<lb />

You need to learn time management skills. Begin<lb />
writing your exam dates, locations, times, etc. and then<lb />
add any papers or other miscellaneous assignments you<lb />
may have due before holiday break. Analyze about how<lb />
long you think you'll need for completing each thing,<lb />
and then space that time out over a period of days. Never<lb />
work on one thing for more than an hour at a time, and<lb />
ifyou have to work on it all day because it's due relatively<lb />
soon, make sure you take a short break and change<lb />
subjects entirely to avoid burning out on it.<lb />
Next semester, start fresh. Put your exam dates in<lb />
a calendar immediately, along with other things you<lb />
know you'll have to work toward over the course of<lb />
the semester. Work little by little tends to keep from<lb />
waiting until the last minute and finding excuses not<lb />
to start. One more thing: Use your organizer for more<lb />
than just school-related things. Put your parties, movie-<lb />
and dinner-dates into it so it's something that you look<lb />
forward to opening.<lb />

STACY DAI<lb />
OPINION WRITF.R<lb />
Thanksgiving is over and Christmas is right<lb />
around the corner, so I, being the spoiled 19-year-<lb />
old child that I am, have already made up a wish list<lb />
that is as long as I am to give to my mom.<lb />
Clothes, shoes and purses (you know, regular<lb />
girly girl things) have filled my list, and I've noticed<lb />
how much my list has changed since I was a kid.<lb />
Loads of clothes and designer purses have replaced<lb />
Barbie dolls, sand art and board games.<lb />
Most who grew up in the 1980s and 1990s<lb />
remember the Barbie doll and Beanie Baby phases<lb />
and know that every kid's household was adorned<lb />
with Twister, Candy Land and Connect Four.<lb />
So after babysitting over the Thanksgiving<lb />
holiday, and reminiscing with the kids about the<lb />
games and toys I used to get, I was shocked to find<lb />
out that they wouldn't be asking Santa for any of<lb />
those things.<lb />
Video games, robot toys and anything electronic<lb />
that makes noise and comes with a remote control<lb />
is what's hot for kids these days. All the simplicity<lb />
that toys used to possess has been discarded and<lb />
replaced with some type of technology.<lb />
I understand that our world is becoming more<lb />
technologically advanced, but come on, what hap-<lb />
pened to plastic play kitchens, bicycles and a good<lb />
old game of Guess Who?<lb />
When I was a kid, I remember having tons of<lb />
different toys to play with on Christmas morning,<lb />
but it seems to me that each toy kids want today<lb />
costs more than ten of the ones I used to get.<lb />
A robotic dinosaur for $80 and even PlaySta-<lb />
tions for $700 for the older kids seems like a whole<lb />
lot of money compared to the $15 dollar baby doll<lb />
I used to beg Santa for.<lb />
But maybe there is a good thing about this tech-<lb />
nology-based generation. There are things such as<lb />
the V. Smile Learning System, which teaches young<lb />
kids letters and numbers as well as other things<lb />
that are actually useful to their future. Given that<lb />
it's only $50, it seems like a smart investment as<lb />
opposed to other gaming systems that will cost a lot<lb />
more for the kid to play Spiderman or some game<lb />
that involves killing people.<lb />
I'm not saying that the toys kids will be getting<lb />
this Christmas aren't fun, but it does make me sad to<lb />
know that they will never experience what it's like<lb />
to have 300 Barbie dolls to dress up, make a mess<lb />
with sand art and paint, or to see who can be the<lb />
last one standing on a dramatic game of Twister.<lb />
So, to all you future parents out there, remem-<lb />
ber to save your old boxes of toys. By the time we<lb />
all have kids and they start asking for flat screen<lb />
TVs and Blackberrys at the age of five, we can all<lb />
pull out the old boxes and show them how the cool<lb />
kids used to play.<lb />
Trigger-happy<lb />

NYC man killed on his wedding day<lb />
deserves justice<lb />
JUSTIN SUMMERS<lb />
OPINION WRITER<lb />
Hundreds of people gathered last Friday at a<lb />
church in Jamaica Queens for the funeral of Sean<lb />
Bell, a man shot dead by the police while leaving his<lb />
bachelor's party. The mourning party gathered in<lb />
the very same church w here Mr. Bell was to marry<lb />
his high school sweetheart who on her wedding<lb />
day was lighting prayer candles in memory of her<lb />
would-be husband.<lb />
The shooting occurred as Sean Bell and four<lb />
of his friends were leaving a strip club when four<lb />
civilian-clothed police officers followed them out<lb />
of the club.<lb />
Reportedly, Bell and his friends were asked to<lb />
stop and put their hands up before they got into<lb />
their car and ran into the undercover police vehicle.<lb />
The cops opened fire on their car shooting over<lb />
50 times. The gunfire killed Sean, hit one friend<lb />
11 times and wounded him critically, hit another<lb />
friend seven times and injured him severely. Sean<lb />
died just hours before his wedding.<lb />
Mr. Bell was the victim of the worst police<lb />
"mistake" in New York since Amadou Diallo, an<lb />
unarmed African immigrant was shot while pull-<lb />
ing out his wallet. Like Diallo, the focus of the<lb />
controversy on this case does not come from the<lb />
fact that police opened fire on an unarmed man, as<lb />
it happens frequently, but rather if the officers in<lb />
question used excessive force.<lb />
In 1998, Diallo was shot 41 times; in this case,<lb />
officers fired more than 50 shots, hitting not only<lb />
the car and its passengers, but nearby houses and<lb />
a train that was passing overhead.<lb />
It is obvious that these cops used excessive force.<lb />
When is it ever necessary to empty two full clips on<lb />
a suspect? Police officers need to be held account-<lb />
able for their actions before this happens again.<lb />
In the Diallo case, all of the officers in question<lb />
were either acquitted or promoted, and very little<lb />
was done to prevent this from happening again.<lb />
Now, eight years later, I'msure we will see more<lb />
acquittals and even less done to promote change in<lb />
how cops are quick to shoot innocent people.<lb />
We live in a country that prides itself on free-<lb />
dom and civil rights and yet the police can kill inno-<lb />
cent people and suffer no penalty. Cops have been<lb />
killing and incarcerating innocent black people for<lb />
far too long - it's time for some justice.<lb /><lb /><pb facs="00059470_tn_0005" /><lb />

How to re-gift like a pro<lb />
AARON BORREGO<lb />
STAFF WRITER<lb />
As the holidays approach, the process<lb />
known as re-gifting will be taking place<lb />
across America as we search in haste to<lb />
give something to someone special.<lb />
If your grandparents still think you are<lb />
eight years old and feel the need to send you<lb />
a soccer ball for the 10th year in a row, or<lb />
your great-aunt Marge sends you a sweater<lb />
tiiat even your dog won't wear, don't fret.<lb />
You may get some use out of such thought-<lb />
ful gifts if you follow a few tried and true<lb />
ideas for passing on the love, literally.<lb />
There are several approaches to re-<lb />
gifting. One, less subtle way is to re-gift-<lb />
ing things as a joke or gag-gift.<lb />
For instance, as a guy, having a<lb />
younger sister who now is older and doesn't<lb />
use the same toys anymore is a very good<lb />
thing, especially when you gift wrap a My<lb />
L;ttle Pony gift set and give it to one of the<lb />
"manly" dudes in your circle of friends.<lb />
Things to also give in this circum-<lb />
stance: Easy-Bake Ovens, Barbie dolls<lb />
and even old makeup sets. Now ladies, if<lb />
you have a piece of jewelry that reminds<lb />
you of someone not so special, give it to<lb />
someone else who may not have your for-<lb />
tune in gifts.<lb />
An aunt, sister, friend, mom and even<lb />
some guys would gladly accept a re-gifted<lb />
piece of jewelry.<lb />
Don't think just because you don't keep<lb />
the gifts you are given you're an ungrateful<lb />
receiver - your generosity in re-gifting<lb />
just shows you recognize someone else<lb />
might be better off having them instead.<lb />
For example, if you know from past<lb />
experience that box under the tree from<lb />
Uncle Joe is bound to be a deck of cards<lb />
or shaving set, you might opt to giving<lb />
gifts that are still wrapped to the Salvation<lb />
Army and Toys for Tots.<lb />
Fruitcakes, ever-present during the<lb />
holidays, are multi-purposed items. They<lb />
make great doorstops, paperweights, bricks<lb />
for building and (eventually) a mysterious<lb />
edible chunky paste that never spoils.<lb />
Although re-gifting is a bit of a shady<lb />
adventure, it can mean a symbolic depar-<lb />
ture from the past or even a cognitive rec-<lb />
ognition that you have something tangible<lb />
to offer to others.<lb />
It can mean that you are truly think-<lb />
ing about others during the season. The<lb />
holidays are all about the idea of giving<lb />
to show you care, so the gift itself is less<lb />
important than the gesture. Just make sure<lb />
you don't re-gift back to the original giver<lb />
because then you may be in trouble.<lb />

Regifting is a great way to save both time and money this holiday season.<lb />

ECU has always been known<lb />
for having a very diverse student<lb />
community. There are organiza-<lb />
tions for students with all kinds of<lb />
interests and hobbies. The Ameri-<lb />
can Assembly for Men in Nursing<lb />
is an ECU organization for nurs-<lb />
ing majors and intended nursing '<lb />
majors that works to support men :<lb />
in nursing and the community as a <lb />
whole. AAMN was first organized I<lb />
in 1971 to encourage men of all<lb />
ages to join the nursing profes-<lb />
sion, to support the men who were<lb />
already nurses to grow profession-<lb />
ally and to be advocates for men's<lb />
health issues.<lb />
According to aamn.org, the<lb />
national purpose of the organiza-<lb />
tion is to "provide a framework<lb />
for nurses, as a group, to meet,<lb />
to discuss and influence factors,<lb />
which affect men as nurses<lb />
At ECU, the School of Nurs-<lb />

$500 to the pharmacy, which is<lb />
located in Siler City. The Chatham<lb />

This year, make the holiday season<lb />
truly meaningful by giving some of<lb />
your time to organizations that are<lb />
helping those who are less fortunate.<lb />
This holiday season, thereare numer-<lb />
ous volunteer opportunities out there.<lb />
Volunteering not only touches<lb />
the lives of the people you are help-<lb />
ing but it also touches your life. The<lb />
whole spirit of the holiday season<lb />
is giving back and reaching out to<lb />
those around you. Take some time<lb />
to reflect on what the season means<lb />
to you and give a little to someone<lb />
else. Many of these organizations<lb />
have openings for teens and chil-<lb />
dren as well, so age is no excuse.<lb />
You can bring a smile to a<lb />
child's face by helping the Salvation<lb />
Army this Christmas. Families who<lb />
cannot afford toys for their children<lb />
come to The Salvation Army to<lb />
receive gifts and a holiday meal<lb />
during the oliday season.<lb />
through their Toy n' Joy program.<lb />
From Nov. 20 to Dec. 15, the<lb />
Salvation Army is also sponsoring<lb />
"Giving Tree At your office, church<lb />
or any place there is a Christmas tree,<lb />
The Salvation Army will send you<lb />
Christmas tags. Each tag represents<lb />
a child and includes a gift sugges-<lb />
tion. Just before Christmas, the<lb />
Salvation Army will arrange to pick<lb />
up the toys to bring back to parents<lb />
who cannot afford to buy any for<lb />
their children.<lb />

Keys to keeping the flu<lb />
at bay<lb />
KORRI-LEE SMITH<lb />
STAFF WRITER<lb />
It's that time of year again;<lb />
Christmas is around the corner,<lb />
presents are being purchased and all<lb />
the while, everyone manages to catch<lb />
a cold. What some don't realize, how-<lb />
ever, is that their cold symptoms are<lb />
really those of influenza, or what we<lb />
commonly refer to as the flu.<lb />
The flu is a contagious<lb />
respiratory illness caused by<lb />
an influenza virus. Each year<lb />
on average, anywhere from five<lb />
to 20 percent of the population<lb />
gets the flu, more than 20,000<lb />
people are hospitalized from<lb />
flu complications, and approxi-<lb />
mately 36,000 people die from it.<lb />
Typically older people, young<lb />
children and people with certain<lb />
health conditions are at higher risk<lb />
for serious flu complications.<lb />
If you are wondering what<lb />
symptoms to look for, there are<lb />
several identifying factors. First,<lb />
fevers are typically characteristic<lb />
of the flu, ranging anywhere from<lb />
100 to 102 degrees Fahrenheit and<lb />
lasting between three and four<lb />
days. Headaches are prominent,<lb />
and general aches and pains tend<lb />
to be severe. Fatigue and weakness<lb />
can last up to two to three weeks,<lb />
and extreme exhaustion occurs<lb />
early and is prominent. Chest<lb />
discomfort and coughing are also<lb />
symptoms that are common and<lb />
have the potential of becoming<lb />
severe. Although a stuffy nose,<lb />
sneezing and a sore throat are<lb />
common cold symptoms, they<lb />
may also occur as indicators of<lb />
the flu. Complications that occur<lb />
as a result of the flu often include<lb />
bronchitis and pneumonia, both<lb />
of which can be life threatening.<lb />
So now that you know what<lb />
symptoms to look for, it is impera-<lb />
tive that you know the appropriate<lb />
preventative actions to take. The<lb />
best way to prevent the flu is by<lb />
getting a vaccine. Although the best<lb />
time to get vaccinated is in October<lb />
or November, vaccinating in Decem-<lb />
ber (or later) can still be beneficial.<lb />
In the prevention of flu, two<lb />
types of vaccines exist. The first is<lb />
the traditional flu shot. Contrary<lb />
to popular belief, this "flu shot"<lb />
does not contain a live virus and<lb />
cannot cause the flu. However, the<lb />
vaccine can trigger an immune<lb />
response from your body, giving<lb />
you a few mild symptoms such as<lb />
achy muscles or low fever.<lb />
A nasal flu vaccine called<lb />
Flu Mist is the second preventa-<lb />
tive option. Unlike the flu shot,<lb />
the nasal flu vaccine contains<lb />
weakened viruses. Although these<lb />
viruses don't usually cause illness,<lb />
they have been known to occasion-<lb />
ally cause the flu. This vaccine is<lb />
recommended only for non-preg-<lb />
nant, healthy people between the<lb />
ages of five and 49.<lb />
Since flu viruses differ from<lb />
year to year, you need an annual<lb />
flu shot to try to prevent the flu.<lb />
Although the vaccines don't guar-<lb />
antee that you are 100 percent pro-<lb />
tected, they are still considered to<lb />
be the best preventative measure<lb />
currently available.<lb />
Both cold and flu viruses are<lb />
transmitted through microscopic<lb />
droplets from an infected person's<lb />
respiratory system. When an infected<lb />
person coughs or sneezes into their<lb />
hands, they can then carry droplets to<lb />
all the surfaces that they touch.<lb />
In order to protect yourself<lb />
and prevent the spread of cold<lb />
and flu viruses it is important that<lb />
you wash your hands frequently.<lb />
When you cough or sneeze into a<lb />
tissue or into your hands be sure<lb />
to wash your hands afterward.<lb />
Try to avoid touching your eyes,<lb />
nose and mouth so you can pre-<lb />
vent germs from entering your<lb />
body. Wash any shared surfaces<lb />
(like phones and keyboards) fre-<lb />
quently because viruses can live<lb />
on these surfaces for several hours.<lb />
Avoiding crowds may also be<lb />
beneficial in preventing the spread<lb />
of such viruses. Also, a well-nour-<lb />
ished immune system is better able<lb />
to fight off infections. Remember<lb />
to fuel your body with natural<lb />
vitamins found in healthy foods<lb />
and to exercise regularly.<lb />

The when and where were<lb />
known over a week ago and now<lb />
the ECU football team finally<lb />
knows the who.<lb />
ECU (7-5,5-8 Conference USA)<lb />
will face South Florida on Dec 23 in<lb />
the Papajohns.com Bowl in Birming-<lb />
ham, Ala. USF (H-4,4-3 Big East) is<lb />
makingjust its second appearance in<lb />
a bowl game. The Bulls lost to N C<lb />
State, 14-0, in last war's Meineke<lb />
Car Care Bow I in Charlotte.<lb />
"We are certainly looking<lb />
forward to having the opportunity<lb />
and challenge of playing an oppo-<lb />
nent the caliber of USF said ECU<lb />
head coach Skip Holtz "We have<lb />
great respect for their program,<lb />
especially the way they compete<lb />
at a high level in a BCS conference<lb />
like the Big East. This matchup<lb />
will also present us with another<lb />
chance to see how far we have pro-<lb />
gressed as a program in two years<lb />
USF has won all three<lb />
meetings against ECU, includ-<lb />
ing a pair of wins in 2002 and<lb />
2003 in Greenville and a 8004<lb />
win in Tampa.<lb />
USF" has transitioned quickly<lb />
to a BCS conference, due in large<lb />
part to head coach Jim Leavitt.<lb />
USF started its football program<lb />
in 1997 and made the jump to<lb />
I)n ision 1-A in 2001. After a single<lb />
season as an independent, the Bulls<lb />
spent three years in Conference<lb />
UsAand their last meeting against<lb />
ECU was a 41-17 USF win in 2004.<lb />
Many of the ECU seniors<lb />
remember that beating and the<lb />
heart-breaking loss the season<lb />
before in Greenville when the<lb />
Pirates lost, 38-37, in double over-<lb />
time on a blocked extra point.<lb />
Had those three games<lb />
gone differently, it could be the<lb />
Pirates representing the Big<lb />
East and South F'lorida still in<lb />
Conference USA.<lb />
After knocking off then-No.<lb />
7 West Virginia in Morgantown,<lb />
Leavitt's name surfaced as a pos-<lb />
sible candidate for other jobs<lb />
as they became available due to<lb />
firings. The only coach USF has<lb />
ever had said he wants to remain<lb />
in Tampa and is not a candidate for<lb />
any other job.<lb />
"I've always said from the<lb />
beginning when I got here that<lb />
I hope I can retire from here and<lb />
sit up in the stands and watch the<lb />
Bulls win championships said<lb />
Leavitt last week. "1 don't even<lb />
think about all of that. I have the<lb />
best job in the country<lb />
Holtz was forced into making<lb />
a similar statement on Sunday fol-<lb />
lowing an erroneous report in the<lb />
Cincinnati Enquirer that said Holtz<lb />
was a candidate for Cincinnati's<lb />
head-coaching vacancy.<lb />
"My commitment is to East<lb />
Carolina University, our program<lb />
and, at this point, our upcoming<lb />
bowl game Holtz said. "I have<lb />
not sought, nor am 1 seeking any<lb />
other coaching position at this<lb />
time. I'm happy with the progress<lb />
we've made here but we still have a<lb />
lot of work to do. If anything, their<lb />
interest is a compliment to our pro-<lb />
gram, players and coaching staff.<lb />
I think Cincinnati has a bright<lb />
future with the leadership that is<lb />
in place and 1 wish them the best<lb />
One ECU coach that was inter-<lb />
viewed for the Cincinnati job<lb />
was defensive coordinator Greg<lb />
Hudson The Bearcats ended up<lb />
hiring former Central Michigan<lb />
head coach Brian Kelly to replace<lb />
Mark Dantonio, who took the head<lb />
job at Michigan State.<lb />
Holtz gave ECU's 22 seniors<lb />
the week off and used weekend<lb />
practices as sort of an "early spring<lb />
practice" to get some younger play-<lb />
ers more work and prepare for the<lb />
future. For the seniors, the future<lb />
is now and the Pirates are focused<lb />
on the Bulls.<lb />
"The game is important and<lb />
means a lot because we've never<lb />
played a bowl game said senior<lb />
safety Jamar Flournoy. "It gives<lb />
us a chance to go out with a ring<lb />
and to be known as the seniors that<lb />
got this program turned around by<lb />
winning a bowl game<lb /><lb />

Florida State wins Lady<lb />
Pirate Invitational<lb />
JARED JACKSON<lb />
STAFF WRITER<lb />
Florida State won the fifth<lb />
annual Lady Pirate Invitational<lb />
this past weekend defeating ECU<lb />
62-11 in the championship game<lb />
at Minges ("olicsuni.<lb />
From the opening up off how-<lb />
ever, it was clear that ECU was<lb />
fatigued from the double overtime<lb />
73-70 win over North Dakota State<lb />
the previous day. ECU struggled<lb />
to find their offensive rhythm ill<lb />
the beginning and totaled four<lb />
turnovers in just a little over four<lb />
minutes of play<lb />
After ten minutes of action,<lb />
F'SU built a steady nine-point<lb />
lead with a 17-h advantage. ECU<lb />
tried to fight back after bring-<lb />
ing the lead back down to fix,<lb />
but kept hurting themselves<lb />
with turnovers,<lb />
At the end of the first half,<lb />
ECU had tallied an abysmal 15<lb />
turnovers, causing a .St-ls half-<lb />
time deficit. F'SU turned the Lady<lb />
Pirates' turnovers into 27 of their<lb />
33 points.<lb />
The second half didn't treat<lb />
the fatigued Pirates team any<lb />
nicer. F'SU stormed out of the<lb />
locker room with a 10-8 run .<lb />
The Seroinolei held .1 85-poinl<lb />
lead with 16:4k remaining in the<lb />
game While ECU played a little<lb />
bit better ill the second hall, the<lb />
oiiiinine was never in doubt.<lb />
The biggest contributors for<lb />
the Pirates were LaCoya Terry and<lb />
Jessica Slack. Terry, a sophomore<lb />
from Hephzibah, CJa, contributed<lb />
11 points, three assists and one<lb />
steal in the losing effort Slack, a<lb />
sophomore from Mt. Perry, Ohio,<lb />
finished the game with II points,<lb />
three steals and five assists.<lb />
After a season high 24 turn-<lb />
overs, Lady Pirates Head Coach<lb />
Sharon Baldwin-Tener admit-<lb />
ted after the game that she<lb />
thought her team was fatigued,<lb />
but offered it as no excuse<lb />
for the loss<lb />
"I think it was tough and I<lb />
think that we were a little bit tired<lb />
but that's really no excuse said<lb />
Baldw in-Tener. "TSUI played<lb />
three games in four days before.<lb />
We have to be tougher than we<lb />
are. When you play a team as ath-<lb />
letic as F'lorida State, your passes<lb />
have to be right on the money and<lb />
you have to go meet your passes.<lb />
We weren't doing that. We did<lb />
it a little hit better in the second<lb />
half, but you have to take care<lb />
of the ball<lb />
Jasmine Young, the sophomore<lb />
point guard, finished with only<lb />
two points, one assist and one steal<lb />
to her name. Young was shut out<lb />
in the first half for the first time<lb />
all season. Her previous low for<lb />
points in the first half was three<lb />
against James Madison and Old<lb />
Dominion.<lb />
Baldwin-Tener thought that<lb />
Young struggled this weekend, but<lb />
i<lb />
was optimistic she would be back<lb />
to form before long.<lb />
"I think she struggled this<lb />
weekend said Baldwin-Tener.<lb />
"They put a bigger guard on her<lb />
and on ball screens they jumped<lb />
out there pretty aggressive. I think<lb />
she was flustered a little bit. Some-<lb />
times she forces the game instead<lb />
of letting it come to her. I think she<lb />
will be back<lb />
In what was easily the most<lb />
exciting game this season, FXU<lb />
defeated North Dakota State 73-70<lb />
in double overtime of the opening<lb />
round. A pair of LaCoya Terry free<lb />
throws with 3.1 seconds sealed the<lb />
win and gave FXU what would<lb />
prove to he a physically draining<lb />
three-point win.<lb />
FSU (8-1) defeated F-airfleld<lb />
69-54 in dominating fashion in the<lb />
opening round.<lb />
The two-day invitational was<lb />
the second of three tournaments<lb />
the Lady Pirates will play this<lb />
season. FXU lost to Vermont 57-<lb />
43 in the Vermont Tournament<lb />
final. The Lady Pirates defeated<lb />
Drexel 66-54 to win the invita-<lb />
tional last season. FX'U has won<lb />
the event three times overall in<lb />
the first years of its existence.<lb />
However, the weekend split gives<lb />
the Lady Pirates continues FXU's<lb />
frustrating start to the young<lb />
season.<lb />
Sitting at 3-5 doesn't please<lb />
Baldwin Tener. She believes that<lb />

JARED JACKSON<lb />
STAFF WRITER<lb />
The intramural depart-<lb />
ment held the annual 3-on-3<lb />
basketball cha mpionshipa<lb />
Sunday night at the Student<lb />
Recreation Center.<lb />
Five leagues were offered,<lb />
featuring 50 teams in total.<lb />
The leagues were wheel-<lb />
chair, men's purple, men's<lb />
gold, fraternity purple and<lb />
fraternity gold.<lb />
In the men's gold league,<lb />
Dave's Team proved to be the<lb />
better finessed team, beating the<lb />
Tyraholics in a high scoring game.<lb />
The first half was dominated by<lb />
both team's offensive power. The<lb />
Tyraholics hit a buzzer beater to<lb />
take an 1S-I7 lead into halftime<lb />
after a frantic paced first half<lb />
The second half was played at<lb />
even a faster pace with both teams<lb />
exchanging leads.<lb />
In the men's purple divi-<lb />
sion, Plava I'lavs' Flavor Squad<lb />
downed Dem Dudez 43-19. In<lb />
what was an even game for much<lb />
of the first half, Flava Flavs<lb />
Flavor Squad pulled away in<lb />
the waning minutes of the half<lb />
to take a 17-11 advantage into<lb />
intermission. The second half was<lb />
totally dominated by the Flavor<lb />
Squad on both the defensive<lb />
and offensive side.<lb />
Jason Wood of the Flavor<lb />
Squad thought that his team<lb />
played well and hopes to defend<lb />
the title next year.<lb />
"We came out and just tried to<lb />
get it done said Wood. "We knew<lb />
we were going to face a tough<lb />
squad today. Overall, I thought<lb />
we played well, we'had some holes<lb />
in the defense, but were going to<lb />
work on that for next season. We<lb />
hope to come back next year and<lb />
defend the crown<lb />
Sigma Phi Kpsilon defeated<lb />
Sigma Alpha Fpsilon 29-19<lb />
in the fraternity gold league.<lb />
The game started with both<lb />
teams hitting their first<lb />
couple shots and it appeared<lb />
that the game would be all<lb />
offense in nature. Sig Ep was<lb />
determined to get the win and<lb />
cracked down their defense. At<lb />
halftime Sig F.p held a seven-<lb />
point lead after Sigma Alpha<lb />
Kpsilon missed two putbacks as<lb />
the buzzer sounded. The second<lb />
halt featured the same from Sig<lb />
Kp as they were able to pull away<lb />
when Sigma Alpha Kpsilon's<lb />
three-pointers strayed.<lb />
Sig Ep team member<lb />
Daniel Kosenblum cred-<lb />
ited the point guard play for<lb />
his team's victory.<lb />
"Our point guard wasjust able to<lb />
hit outside shots said Kosenblum.<lb />
"We held them down low. They're<lb />
much bigger than US, but we held our<lb />
own and got rebounds. That is how<lb />
we won<lb />
In the fraternity purple<lb />
league. Kappa Sigma beat previ-<lb />
ously undefeated Sigma Alpha<lb />
Kpsilon 18-18. The first half<lb />
was low sioring as Sigma Alpha<lb />
Kpsilon nursed a 10-9 halftime<lb />
advantage behind two three-<lb />
pointers from Mark Hardee.<lb />
Kappa Sigma's defense proved to<lb />
be too much in the second half,<lb />
allowing only three points.<lb />
Kappa Sigma's Alex Von-<lb />
siatsky said that he looked<lb />
forward to facing SAE once<lb />
again after losing to them in<lb />
the regular season.<lb />
"It was a big win said Von-<lb />
siatsky. "We played SAE earlier<lb />
in the year and they were a heck<lb />
of a team and beat us. We were<lb />
looking forward to playing them<lb />
again and I'm happy that we<lb />
could come out on top. It was<lb />
a good game against a great<lb />
team. They got a bunch of big<lb />
guys, but we just played really<lb />
well defensively<lb />
The wheelchair league<lb />
was a new addition this year,<lb />
enabling those with disabilities<lb />
to play basketball. However, the<lb />
game didn't feature a handi-<lb />
capped player as participants<lb />
walked from their wheelchair<lb />
following the game.<lb />
The Bailers beat Gears of<lb />
War, maintaining a steady lead<lb />
from the beginning of the game<lb />
till the end. Gears of War were<lb />
not able to find any offensive<lb />
rhythm, and with the slow paced<lb />
causing by participating in wheel-<lb />
chairs, were not able to overcome<lb />
the deficit.<lb />
After the game, Michael<lb />
Hobgood commented that he<lb />
welcomed the challenge of the<lb />
wheelchair league.<lb />
"It was a challenge using the<lb />
wheelchairs knowing how to<lb />
turn them and shooting from sit-<lb />
ting down said Hobgood. "We<lb />
won the first couple games and<lb />
kept w inning, and now we're the<lb />
champions It was fun<lb />
Intramural staff member<lb />
Rachel Mosul- thought the entire<lb />
3-on-S season went well.<lb />
"Overall, it was a pretty good<lb />
season said Moser. "We didn't<lb />
have any issues. It's not as bad as 5-<lb />
on-5 usually. We had good sports-<lb />
manship and a lot of good games<lb />

LADY PIRATES<lb />
games contributed to her team's<lb />
losing record.<lb />
"I think that we have had a<lb />
tough schedule being on the road<lb />
so much the former Mercer<lb />
University head coach said. "We<lb />
have to regroup and get some<lb />
wins together. Anytime you<lb />
pick up one, we picked up one<lb />
yesterday, it's good. Our goal<lb />
continued from A6<lb />
now is to get back to .500 before<lb />
we start our conference schedule<lb />
After the game, an all tour-<lb />
nament team was selected.<lb />
The team was comprised of<lb />
LaC'oya Terry. Jessica Slack<lb />
from ECU, Fairfield's Baundu<lb />
I.owenthal and FSU's Alicia Glad-<lb />
den and Britany Miller. Miller<lb />
was also selected as the tour-<lb />
