Dorm rape spurs
safety concerns
More police to patrol White Hall
HOLLY O'NEAL
ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR
Police presence in and around White Hall will
increase following the rape of a female in her dorm
room early Monday, Jan. 19.
Sgt. Curtis Hayes of the ECU Police Depart-
ment said patrol officers are starting to monitor the
construction-ridden area surrounding White Hall
more closely. Foot patrolmen and residence hall
staff will check the dorm more often, and student
security plans to heighten awareness.
The ECU Police Department, housing depart-
ment and counseling center met the night following
the incident to discuss safety measures, said Janet
Johnson, assistant director for judicial and special
projects.
"Hopefully, students will be more observant
said Johnson.
"People are concerned because there wasn't a
lot of information about the attack
Police are investigating leads to apprehend the
suspect, described as a male wearing dark clothes, a
mask and gloves. Method of entry is unknown.
The suspect reportedly surprised the
19-year-old from behind in her door-
way as she returned from the restroom.
She was forced into the room at gunpoint, raped
and received minor injuries to her head with an
unknown object.
Signs warning dorm residents of tailgating
- when a person slips into a dorm behind some-
one who has opened the door with their key - were
posted inside White Hall, and residence hall staff
spoke to students about not allowing entrance to
strangers.
But Theresa Socha, sophomore middle grades
education major and resident of White Hall, said she
thinks the university isn't doing enough to protect
dorm occupants.
"1 feel less safe where I live now said Socha.
"It's kind of scary that something like this can
happen so close to where you live
Noisy construction, scant lighting and a
restricted walkway contribute to the apprehension
of living in White Hall, according to Socha.
"People can just walk in. And there's no police
here after you come back from downtown Socha
said.
There are safety precautions all students should
follow. Don't walk alone at night, always keep doors
locked, be aware of your surroundings and don't
allow strangers entrance to dorms.

Residence Hall Association sponsors blood drive
Blood supply at lowest
point in 10 years
TABATHA JAMES
STAFF WRITER
Every January, the Resident
Hall Association sponsors a
blood drive to benefit the eastern
North Carolina blood banks.
Today and Thursday in
Mendenhall Student Center
from 12 p.m. - 6 p.m. students,
faculty and staff are encouraged
to donate blood.
"The goal this January is to
get 100 pints of blood per day
to help the blood supply said
Debbie Page, account manager
for Pitt County.
The blood received from
this drive goes to support the
Mid-Atlantic Regional Blood
Bank, which supplies blood for
54 hospitals. Pitt County Memo-
rial Hospital is one of the major
hospitals in need.
"I make a point to donate
blood as often as I can because
I know first hand how a single
pint can save the life of a loved
one said Michael Griffin, senior
communication major.
This year, trauma cases and
accidents occurred frequently, so
the demand for blood is high,
but the supply is low. Page said.
"Type O donors are the first
line of defense for trauma vic-
tims said Dr. Tom Lugas. "Until
a blood type can be verified,
Type O is used to keep victims
alive because it can be transfused
safely for all blood types

STAFF WRITER
ECU Parking and Transpor-
tation Services made 37 more
spaces available to College hill
residents with A2 permits this
semester.
The East side of College Hill
Drive, left as you go up the hill,
was rezoned earlier this month
to help cut down on the student
parking shortage.
Mike Van Derven, director
of Parking and Transportation
Services, said at the beginning
of the semester it became appar-
ent that parking shortages were
abundant.
"We still have waiting lists at
this time said Van Derven.
In response, zones were
changed and signs were erected
to accommodate the growing
number of enrolled ECU students
living on the hill.
"Yeah, there are more spaces,
but they're not for Dl permits
said Ryan Troutman, freshman
undecided major.
"Freshmen are the majority
of residents up here
Freshmen who hold Dl per-
mits are allowed to park in the
Dickinson Avenue lot.
The 37 new spaces won't help
students who hold these permits.
The new spaces will only accom-
modate residents with A2 per-
mits who have 25 or more credit
hours.

dents don't understand the situ-

with the North Carolina Registry of Interpreters for the
Deaf Licensure Study Committee and her diligent work
toward the passage of the North Carolina Interpreting
Licensure Bill.

and hard of hearing in instances of natural disaster.

High court ruling could affect
five N.C. death row Inmates
RALEIGH (AP) - The US Supreme
Court's decision to consider ending
the execution of killers who were
under 18 when they committed their
crimes could affect five men on North
Carolinas death row.
Two are among the state s most
notorious convicted killers Francisco
Tirado. convicted of a double murder
that was part of gang initiation, and
Kevin Golphin, convicted in the
murder of a state Highway Patrol
trooper and a sheriff's deputy
North Carolina law allows people to
be executed for crimes committed
when they were as young as 17, said
Keith Acree. spokesman for the state
Department of Correction Younger
people can be executed if they
commit a murder while behind bars
for another murder, he said.
Tirado, 22, was 17 when he was
involved in a double murder that was
part of a gang initiation. Acree said
Although news reports at the time
of the murders indicated he was 18,
state records show he was bom in
April 1981. making him 17 at the time
of the August 1998 shootings
Tirado was one ol three people
sentenced to death for the execution -
style murders of Susan Moore and
Tracy Lambert The two were
abducted near Lambert's home in
Hope Mills, taken to a field in rural
Cumberland County, forced to kneel
and shot in the head.
NC House co-speakers back
special session on OLF
RALEIGH (AP) - A special legislative
session to debate the Navy's
proposed landing field in Washington
County gained steam Monday when
the state House co-speakers
endorsed the idea
Co-Speakers Jim Black, D-
Mecklenburg, and Richard Morgan,
R-Moore. announced they backed
another session, which could examine
how to alter a 97-year-old state law
giving the federal government the
supreme authority over what to do
with land for the proposed site.
The Navy wants to ultimately purchase
some 30,000 acres of land in the
eastern county to allow Navy pilots
to practice aircraft earner landings
The military said concerns of landing
field opponents already have been
addressed Two lawsuits have been
filed to try to block the site's use
In a joint statement, Black and Morgan
said the General Assembly "must
take whatever steps are available
to ensure that we have an adequate
and ongoing discussion with the
Navy, which will hopefully result in the
selection of a more suitable location
that better serves the interests of all
parties involved"

Moingo and Speidell sug-

with a "legislative type angle
Marvin Davis, city manager,
was apprehensive that the rail-
roads would not be improved
soon and the council was con-
cerned about how much money
they would receive to get all they
needed done.
Speidell said she knows the
city needs more than SI million,
but because they're asking for
more, they might get less.
Speidell also said there are
towns still waiting on funding
for projects they suggested years
ago, and Greenville may have to
wait until others get served.
"It'sall about waiting in line
said Speidell.
Davis also discussed the
year's Capital Improvement
Plan. Along with other concerns,
he addressed building parking
decks downtown. These decks
would be lour levels and possibly
contain shops.
Davis admitted that in other
places parking decks aren't fully
paying for themselves, but the
council agreed that due to plans
of motels and other projects
downtown, the decks will soon
be a necessity.
The council said there will
be general funds for it, and if the
plan goes into effect, they could
pre-lease spaces.
The council and Ferguson
Croup agreed that the project
could not be finished by Septem-
ber, but they would continue to
discuss it.

Judge calls Schwarzenegger's
$4 million campaign loans Illegal
SACRAMENTO (AP) - Gov Arnold
Schwarzenegger broke a slate law
during the closing weeks of the recall
race when he took out $4.5 million in
bank loans to help his cash-starved
campaign, according to a preliminary
ruling from a superior court judge
If Monday's decision is upheld, the
governor could be forced to pay back
the loans out of personal funds.
�The judge has agreed with us in
a strongly worded position that
these loans were illegal said
attorney Lowell Finley, who filed a
lawsuit in October attempting to
stop Schwarzenegger from funding
his campaign with bank loans that
could be paid back by donors after
the election.
Finley said that tne ruling from
Judge Loren McMaster could spark
sanctions from the California Fair
Political Practices Commission
an agency that recently threatened
LI Gov. Cruz Buslamante with a $9
million line because of campaign

reject Sharon dismantling plan
RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) - Egypt's
foreign minister met with Palestinian
leaders Tuesday to push for a halt to
Palestinian attacks against Israelis, a
first step toward restarting talks over a
stalled international peace plan.
Also, a Jewish settler leader said
Tuesday that Prime Minister Ariel
Sharon wants to dismantle several
settlements in the West Bank and
Gaza Strip with the consent of
residents.
In exchange, the government would
guarantee that no more settlements
will be dismantled until there is a final
peace deal with the Palestinians, said
Shaul Goldstein, deputy chairman of
the Settlers' Council.
Goldstein said settler leaders rejected
the proposal, which was presented
Monday by a senior official from
Sharon's office.

Now it's time to hear from voters in New Hampshire
C:ONCORD,N.H.(AP)�John
Kerry and I loward Dean elbowed
their way toward the finish line
of the New Hampshire primary
campaign on Tuesday as Demo-

for victory and the campaign

Sens. John Edwards and Joe

Before winning the Iowa
caucuses last week, the Kerrv
campaign had been "on the
endangered species list the
Massachusetts senator acknowl-
edged. This time, it was Dean
who campaigned for a surprise
finish.
"I'm not sure it's a dead
heat, but it's close and it's clos-
ing very fast said the former
Vermont governor, struggling to
steady a campaign off balance
since the Iowa caucuses and a
highly animated appearance
before supporters.
After the heated exchanges
of Iowa, the final eight days of
the New Hampshire campaign
were mild by comparison.
Scarcely a jab was thrown in a
debate last week, as if the can-
didates decided that Iowa voters
had punished Dean and Rep.
Dick Gephardt for an outbreak
of attack politics.
Gephardt dropped out
of the race on the day after
the caucuses, and New Hamp-
shire has historically sent also-
rans to the sidelines as well.
Given the stakes, the civility
wore thin in the last day or two
of campaigning.

The president received criticism for his statement that
weapons of mass destruction were found in Iraq.
Bush administration doubts
weapons' presence in Iraq
WASHINGTON (AP)�The
White Mouse said Tuesday
"it's too soon to draw firm
conclusions" ahout whether
Iraq possessed weapons of
mass destruction, an issue
the Hush administration once
was so confident ahout that it
was cited as a justification for
waging war.
The issue was injected into
the presidential campaign
when retired chief U.S. weapons
inspector David Kay said he had
concluded, after nine months
of searching, that deposed
President Saddam Hussein did
not have stockpiles of forhid-
den weapons. Confronted with
Kay's statement, administration
officials declined to repeat their
once-ironclad assertions that
Saddam had them.
"Wc need to let Iraq survey
group complete its work, to draw
as complete a picture as pos-
sible presidential spokesman
Scott McClellan said.
"then we can compare what
we knew before with what we
learn from the Iraq survey group.
But their work is ongoing
"Clearly, the intelligence
that we went to war on was
inaccurate, wrong said Kay, in
an interview with NBC's Tom
Brokaw,
Democrats pounced on
Kay's conclusion as evidence
that President Bush duped the
nation about a principle reason
for going to war.
Campaigning in New Hamp-
shire, Sen. John Kerry, seeking
the Democratic presidential
nomination, said Bush had
misled the people.
"When the president of the
United States looks at you and
tells you something, there should
he some trust. He's broken every
one of those promises the Mas-
sachusetts senator said.
Howard Dean, another
Democratic candidate, said,
"The White Douse has not been
candid with the American people
about virtually anything with
the Iraq war
White House press secretary
Scott McClellan said, "Obvi-
ously, we want to compare the
intelligence from before the war
with what the Iraq Surve) Group
learns on the ground. But the
first step is to let the Iraq Survey
Group finish their work so the
intelligence' community can
have as complete a picture as
possible
McClellan said the inspectors
should continue their work "so
that they can draw as complete a
picture as possible And I hen we
can learn�it will help us learn
the truth
Kay, meanwhile, was called
to appear Wednesday at a public
hearing ot the Senate Armed
Services Committee .iiul agreed
to attend.
Senate Minority I e.uler Inm
Daschle demanded an inves-
tigation, either by the Senate
Intelligence Committee or an
independent commission, Into
the "administration's role In the
intelligence failures leading up to
the war with Iraq
Sen. joe I iehcrman. another
Democratic candidate cam-
paigning in New Hampshire,
also urged an investigation or
congressional bearings "on the
intelligence that some of us saw
directly, and the statements thai
the administration was making
and the emphasis the adminis-
tration was putting on weapons
of mass destruction
Vice President Dick Cheney,
meeting in Rome with Italian
Premier Silvio Berlusconi, did
not answer when a reporter asked
if he felt prewar intelligence was
faulty.
WASHINCTON (AP) � Fed-
eral deficits will total nearly $2.4
trillion over the next decade, the
Congressional Budget Off ice pro-
jected Monday, a worsening of
nearly $1 trillion since its last
forecast in last August.
According to numbers
obtained by The Associated
Press, Congress' nonpartisan
fiscal analyst also projected that
the red ink would hit a record
$477 billion this year.
Though the report envisions
next year's shortfall dipping to
$362 billion, the estimates are
sure to become ammunition In
3 the election-year fight over red
� ink. Already, Democrats are hit-
ting President Bush for the stark
reversal from huge surpluses of
just three years ago, while con-
servative Republicans are criticiz-
ing him for excessive spending
as well.
"The president wants to go to
Mars, and he's got deficits going
to the moon said Sen. Kent
Conrad of North Dakota, top
Democrat on the Senate Budget
Committee.
Treasury Secretary John
Snow, in a speech delivered
via satellite to a conference in
London, repeated the admin-
istration's committment to cut
the deficit in half- toward a size
that is below 2 percent of gross
domestic product over the next
five years.
"Make no mistake: President
Bush is serious ahout the deficit
Snow said.
All the congressional projec-
tions assume the president and
Congress will not cut taxes or
increase spending an unlikely
scenario, particularly with
control of the White House
and Congress up for grabs this
November.
The report's short-term pro-
jections were in the neighbor-
hood of where they were in the
budget office's last report five
months ago.
The most marked dete-
rioration was for the decade
ending 2013, for which the
office projected cumulative
deficits of $218 trillion, that
was $98cS billion worse than it
estimated last August, and $3.7
trillion deeper than it projected
a year ago.
The forecast worsened
in part because the budget
oil ice assumed as it is required
to by law that the $87.5 bil-
lion approved last year for wars
in Iraq and Afghanistan will
be renewed annually for the
decade. Many lawmakers
and analysts consider that
unlikely.
The office also factored
in new costs like the prescrip-
tion drug benefit created last
fall. In addition, the report
projects lower federal rev-
enue than was anticipated
earlier, partly as result of lower
Inflation that the budget office
now expects.

Our View
While this
isn't meant
to bash the
administra-
tion, its intent
is to provide
a wakeup
call. For
future refer-
ence, student
safety and
wellbeing
should be a
primary
concern.
There has been a build-up of blunders by the
university's administration in recent weeks.
Two of them, in our opinion, show what seems
to be a blatant disregard for students' welfare
- beginning with the first day of the spring
semester.
Outside the Cashiers office, students formed
lines to pay tuition nnd fees and collect their
refund checks.
Now, if you've been on this campus for at least
one semester, you know this line extends out-
side and is outrageously long. Unfortunately for
students, the first day of classes also marked
the first snowfall of the season.
With the steady snowfall and the chilling
weather, one would assume the university
would make preparations for students to
stand inside.
The Cashiers office is a large building, and it
would have been practically effortless for offi-
cials to have students form a line going up the
stairs - instead of through the outside doors.
In their defense, they did provide coffee - too
bad students had to wait a half an hour in the
freezing cold before they could get into the front
doors to have some.
The second blunder occurred Tuesday, when
they cancelled only a half day of classes, leav-
ing students to bear harsh conditions in order
to attend class
Facing a campus virtually cemented in ice, stu-
dents bumped, slid and skidded their way to
class facing bruises, injuries and car accidents
so officials wouldn't have to think too hard and
reschedule another day of classes.
If university officials expected students to go
to class in these conditions, they could have
at least plowed the ice or put down more
sand so the ice could be safely walked upon
- although we did notice plenty of sand in front
of the Whichard and Spilman buildings - so
administrative walkways were taken care of.
While this isn't meant to bash the administra-
tion, its intent is to provide a wakeup call. For
future reference, student safety and wellbeing
should be a primary concern.

Mars exploration a waste of money Fighting exploration is igonorant
AM; JDA VANNESS
ASSISTANT PHOTO EDITOR
President George W. Hush
has a new proposal to send
astronaut! into space so they
can explore Mars and "extend a
human presence across our solar
system
this new proposal will cost
hundreds of billions of dollars.
Bush said, "we choose to explore
space because doing so improves
our lives and lilts our national
spirit
My life and spirit have not
been improved due to the explo-
ration ot Mars. Mas he spirits will
be raised if we get our troops out
of Iraq and hack to safety here
in America.
I think this proposal is
ridiculous.
Hundreds Of billions of dol-
lars spent in order to send people
into spate and try to put life on
Mars.
Hush said the moon "con-
tains raw materials that might
be harvested and processed into
rocket fuel or breathable air Hut
why should we go into space to
harvest soil from the moon?
We have enough problems here
on Earth, as it is, so why try to
civilize a new planet in order to
i ause more problems?
People are dying every day
in America in other countries
bet ause of the problems we face
- the diseases, hate and starva-
tion, to name a few. We need
to solve these problems before
creating another environment
for problems to take over.
Is this a race that America is
taking part In? Ho we want to be
the "ultimate" ones who civilic
Mars? The U.S. has a budget defi-
cit now ol $500 billion. America
is only going further into debt by
binding spate exploration.
Why not use the money to
restore our budget, find cures
to the many diseases we are
faced with, improve education
in inner-city areas or help the
unemployed find jobs or help
the many homeless people we
have living on the streets?
These problems are much
more important than going
to space.
Bush said the benefits of
sending people into space will
advance weather forecasting,
communication, computers,
search and rescue technol-
ogy, robotics, and electron-
ics. I think we could advance
other more beneficial things,
than the "benefits" Bush men-
tions.
I don't know anyone who'd
move to Mars -1 know I would
not. I can see how space explo-
ration was a big deal in 1969,
when Kennedy was in office.
Nobody had been into space,
yet we sent Americans to walk
on the moon. We're in 2004
now, and many people have
been into space
The excitement is over. I
think we need to use the bil-
lions of dollars to improve
Karth, rather than trying
to domesticate red dust and
rocks.
In My Opinion
NCAA bylaws need revision
TONY ZOPPO
ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR
leremv Bloom just wants to
play hall. Jeremy Bloom also
just wants lo ski - professionals
Normally, this isn't a problem,
but when you play football to
the tune of the NCAA rules, it's
a big problem.
Bloom is a wide receiver and
return kicker for the University
ol Colorado and has been doing
both that and skiing on the
World Cup irtuit. However,
he lias been doing so at his own
expense.
I lu- problem comes in
bet ause the NCAA has rules
against accepting endorsements
while still an amateur athlete
I be) 've ruled lor now that
Bloom cannot both play football
lor Colorado and accept lunds for
skiing. However, this kid Is differ-
ent from all those others wanting
to play sports professionally or hit
the bank as quickly as possible
- he does it because he loves both
games
"From the time I was nine
yean Old, I've dreamed of win-
ning a gold medal lor our country
in the Winter Olympics Bloom
said.
"Unfortunately, at this time,
I can no longer realistically
attempt to follow thisdrcam with
the restrictions that exist under
current NCAA bylaws
I his is a t rime. We're talking
about a kitl who plays football
in college - and plays it damn
well, might I add-and is a phe-
nomenal skier who wants to
participate in the Olympics tor
our own country. He took two
gold medals in the 2003 world
championships and last year
i.iuglH 17. passes for t.S6 yards
and one touchdown.
How many times do you
see those stats in the same sen-
tence? I know this is a tough
rule for the NCAA to get rid of
or even bend, but something
needs to be done for all of the
Jeremy Blooms out there. It's
up to them to decide what, but
this kid deserves a chance to be
everything he can possibly be,
whether it's on the football field
or the snow banks.
MEGHANN ROARK
HEAD COPY EDITOR
The six-month-long journey
ended on Jan. S, and the scru-
tiny of President George W. Bush
by America began. His plans
entail getting rid of the spate
shuttle and minimizing the space
station, freeing the lunds instead to
establish a base on the moon and go
to Mars.
But why all the fuss?
This is merely a gimmick by
Bush, according to America, to kick
oft the election year by uniting the
nation.
The Washington Post ran a
parody that said, "The Bush admin-
istration wants to send some of
us to the moon unless congres-
sional ridicule becomes too much
to bear
And in the Iowa debate on
Jan. 11 Dennis Kucinich said Bush
wanted to go to Mars to find weap-
ons t f mass tlest rut t ion.
However, an Associated Press
poll showed the majority of Ameri-
cans rather the $500 billion be
spent on domestic needs proof
that there's no political advantage
to his plan.
Kven if election time weren't
near, a skeptical America would
still forget we're the leaders in tech-
nological advancement when they
hear the price tag $500 billion.
Immediately such selfish
thoughts are provoked as "What
about us here on earth?" and "What
alxjut our problems?"
Thanks to our space program,
people are Using longer. Inventions
Include medical imaging, which lets
doctors see incredible, clear images
insidethelxxly. American ingenuity
can tie given credit forearthermoni-
eters, vision screening systems and
smoke detectors.
There will beaS percent increase
in NASA'sbudget, which is presently
less than a measly I percent of the
entire lederal budget. People who
object to i his spending are the same
people who would have rioted when
they heard about the money used to
fund (Columbus' lyage r i ailed the
Wright brothers insane.
Don't they realize that without
exploration we'd still lie living like
cavemen?
the Mars mission exemplifies
how humanity would be much
less accomplished without the
exceptional need to excel beyond
what's perceived as normal which
is America's.
Who but America could pull off
defeating the 2( lib century's king of
terror, Saddam Hussein? Who but
America could successfully prevent
terrorism within out country after
overcoming Sept. II and excel In
economic growth?
Who but America would pro-
vide support for our enemies after
thousands are killed In an Iraiium
earthquake and, In the s.nne year,
still manage to land without failure
on Mars with hopes to broaden the
horizons of humanity?
And who but America would still
11 mi something to complain about?
Americans should feel lut k b i
say the very least - that they're alive
to witness the next step in world
civilization.
After all, isn't progresswli.it lilc's
all alxiut?

Cheney meets pope, rallies U.S. troops
AVIANO, Italy (AP)�Pope
John Paul II, a staunch oppo-
nent of the war in Iraq, greeted
Vice President Dick. Cheney on
Tuesday with a peace message.
Cheney, meanwhile, spent the
last day of his European trip
rallying U.S. troops in the war
against terrorism to "take the
fight to the enemy
"The mission going forward
is still difficult, still danger-
ous Cheney told soldiers and
military family memhers In a
crowded hangar on Aviano Air
Base in northeast Italy. "We will
rememher every life lost with
honor
The troops were in camou-
flage and some waved small
American flags. In the hangar
was a F-16 fighter jet and a Black
Hawk helicopter.
From Aviano, Cheney was
headed to nearby Vicenza,
home of the 173rd Airborne
Brigade, where he was to give
another speech and meet with
20 troops who have just returned
from Iraq. Cheney wife's, Lynne
Cheney, planned to meet with
military families.
Cheney was on the final
day of his five-day trip to
Europe, where he attended the
World Economic Forum, met
with government leaders and
delivered two foreign policy
addresses - one In Switzerland,
the other in Rome.
Before leaving Rome for
Aviano, Cheney visited with
Pope John Paul II, who gave him
a message calling for interna-
tional cooperation and peace.
"I encourage you and your
fellow citizens to work at home
and abroad for the growth of
international cooperation. The
American people have always
cherished the fundamental
values of freedom, justice and
equity the pope told Cheney.
The hand of the pontiff,
who suffers from Parkinson's,
trembled as he read the short
greeting.
Cheney, who was seated on
his right, presented the pope
with a dove made of glass,
which the pontiff stroked with
his hand.
He gave Cheney a set of 20
silver medals with reproductions
of masterpieces from the Vatican
and presented Mrs. Cheney and
daughter Liz silver rosaries and
medals of the Pontificate.
A red carpet leading to the
Apolostic Palace where the
meeting occurred in the Papal
Library had been rolled out
before Cheney's arrival and a
picket of Swiss guards clad in
colorful uniforms greeted the
U.S. delegation.

The pope endorsed peace during his visit with Cheney.

I have a crush on you

"Johnny Depp because he's sexy"
Students
swoon over
celebrities
RACHEL LANDEN
SENIOR WRITER
Although your bedroom wall
may not be plastered with posters
of celebrities, you probably can't
deny at least a slight fascination
with the famous.
The entertainment industry
rakes in billions of dollars every
year, yet movie tickets and music
albums aren't nearly enough.
Glossy magazines featuring beau-
tiful bodies and handsome faces
fill newsstands everywhere, and
tabloid TV reports on the latest
celebrity gossip.
There's no doubt people are
interested in, even obsessed, with
celebrities. These days it seems as
though appearance, more so than
actual talent, have a lot more to
do with popularity.
"Anna Kournikova is so bad at
tennis, but so nice at everything
else said Justin Cobb, sopho-
more Spanish major.
"She gets more applause when
she bends over to pick up a ball
than when she hits it
In fact, although she didn't
make People magazine's list of
the 50 Most Beautiful People
of 2003, Kournikova is a big hit
among many guys,
Halle Berry Is knottier female
considered crush worthy by the
male population. In fact, Berry
graced the cover of People mag-
azine's annual Most Beautiful
issue last year.
Fellow Oscar-winner Nicole
Kidman also made the list, and
ECU students agree with People's
choice.
"I think she's statuesque
said Matt Collins, senior politi-
cal science major.
On the other end of the spec-
trum from glamorous Kidman is
girl-next-door and former ECU
Pirate Sandra Bullock.
"Sandra Bullock is the most
beautiful human being put on
this earth said Jake Stewart,
freshman professional acting
major.
"She's dorky, and dorky is
hot
Also topping the list of celeb-
rity crushes are "Friend" Jenni-
fer Aniston, Pretty Woman Julia
Roberts and Teen People's Choice
Female Hottie for 2003, Beyonce
Knowles. Knowles also came in at
number one on VHl's list of the
100 Hottest Hotties.
Ranking slightly below
Beyonce on the VII1 list is 2003's
Choice Male Hottie, Ashton
Kutcher. While guys agree on the
ti meless beauty of his significant
other, Demi Moore, girls drool
over Hollywood's newest it-boy.
Apparently, the beautiful
people tefid to stick together.
The other half of many of these
female celebrity crushes made
People's list and VHl's count-
down. Ben Affleck, Brad Pitt and
Will Smith are popular choices
among the so-called experts, as
well as ECU students.
"Will Smith is a beautiful
man, a beautiful specimen
said Karen Monroe, freshman
chemistry major.
"Will Smith in the blue suit
in Bad Hoys 2 - wow
Other males In the spotlight
and girls' hearts alike tun the
gamut from cuties Matt Damon,
Matthew McConaughey and
I lugh Grant to the slightly edgier
Justin Timberlake, I.ECooiJ and
Ed Norton.
"Norton is hot, and he
is always the bad guy in the
movies said Nazenin Oz.kan,
freshman neuroscience major.
Age and attitude are obviously
a matter of taste. Hollywood icons
Mel Gibson and Robert Redford
received a seal of approval from
many college girls.
After all, if "Sex and the
City's" Carrie Bradshaw can
date an aging playboy played by
real-life Russian dancer Mikhail
Baryshnikov, then why shouldn't
a 20-something crush on the
former Great liatsby!
And just because Tom
Hanks didn't make the Beautiful
or Hottie list doesn't mean he
isn't on one student's list.
"Tom Hanks has really nice
hair said Stephanie Hnatty,
sophomoret0pipiFli?cTgr,iphv
major.
"I like the curls around the
1970s and 1980s bit
Like it or not, you can't help
but love them - celebrities, that
is. Maybe it's their popularity,
maybe it's their personality, but
chances are it's just pure physical
attraction.
After all, they're some of the
most beautiful people and the
hottest of hotties.

ECULoessin Playhouse
keeps tradition alive
in 'Dance 2004'
USA TUMBARELLO
STAFF WRITER
Dance 2004, a production
from the School of Theatre and
Dance, offers audiences a fun and
eclectic evening of celebrated
choreography and dancing.
The show exhibits a variety
of dance techniques and dis-
ciplines sure to appeal to both
dance enthusiasts and newcom-
ers alike.
After auditions were held and
dancers were chosen, rigorous
practicing took place to ensure
quality and perfection. Now,
weeks later, Dame 2004 is ready
to take the stage.
"I've seen first hand the time
and dedication it takes to put on
a show like this, and I feel that
everyone should support the
effort of their fellow students
and staff said Isaac Fouls, junior
pre-med major.
This year marks the 20th year
Dance 2004 is performed. Start-
ing with its first performance
in 1984, ECU has provided
exceptional quality in its perfor-
mances through choreography
and talented performers.
Jeff Woodruff, managing
director for the School of The-
atre and Dance, said the show
is different than the typical
mold of-dance performances.
The show isn't a long ballet type
performance, and it's not a snort
performance either.
The variety of the show
appeals to those who like dance
because they'll get to see all of
the different styles.
The seven pieces featured in
Dance 2004 encompass cutting
edge ballet, abstract modern,
Dance 2004, the new ECULoessin Playhouse production, combines Jazz, ballet and tap,
rhythmic tap, high-energy
hip-hop and jazz and even a
tango piece. The pieces hit the
audience's different emotional
levels and change the mood
from light to serious to energetic
throughout the show.
"I'veseen both Broadway and
off Broadway shows, but never an
all dance show, so this would be a
new experience for me; it sounds
interesting said Taft love, soph-
omore communication major.
Every year Dance 2004 fea-
tures a guest artist. This year's
guest is Elie Lazar, artistic direc-
tor of the Joffery Dance Ensem-
ble. Lazar has years of experience
under his belt, which is one of the
reasons that his choreography is
so sought after.
I.azar appeared with such
companies as the Israel National
Ballet Company, the Israel
National Opera and the New
Jersey Ballet. Also, he has choreo-
graphed for Ruth Mitchell Dance
Theatre and Japan's Kumamoto
Ballet along with others.
In 2000, Lazar formed his
modern ballet ensemble by
organizing and training dancers
from the Joffery Ballet School.
Under his direction, the Joffery
Dance Ensemble has acquired
international acclaim. Look for
l.azar's styles and choreography
featured in "Innocent Tryst" in
Dance 2004.
Among other choreographers
with featured work in Dance 2004,
is Galina Panova. Panova, a widely
acclaimed dancer and choreogra-
pher, joined the ECU School of
Theatre and Dance as an Assistant
Professor in August 2003.
Panova received some of the
highest honors in the dance
world and danced with some
of the most recognizable names
in the industry. In 1967, Panova
won the gold medal at the Varna

Computer viruses plague students
Installing anti-virus software helps
keep your computer healthy
JENNIFER BOWLES
STAFF WRITER
If you are an IVCUgl! computer user, you might
not know the difference between a virus and a
Moral, hut each tan wreak havoc on your system
it it's not properly protected.
In general terms, a virus usually arrives as an
e-mail attachment and hegins its destruction after
being opened. Worms are sneakier. Trojan horse
worms are named because they disguise themselves
inside of software.
"A worm is a com-
puter program which,
when ran, finds other
computer! that have
a vulnerability and
breaks into them
across the network
said Taron Mattocks,
University Help Desk
team leader.
"It then copies
itself over, starts itsrlt
running on the new
host, then does the same thing from there
I .ist year, the MSHIaster worm slipped through
a security hole in certain versions of Windows
and spread so quickly that very few systems were
immune, including those with working firewalls.
It is not uncommon to have to reformat a hard
drive to get rid of viruses and worms that have
gone unchecked.
Students should be very careful about opening
e-mail attachments even when they appear to be
sent from people they know and trust. Some viruses
transmit themselves by spreading to everyone in an
e-mail address book.
It is entirely possible to receive a virus attach-
ment from a friend's computer, even if your friend
doesn't know that they have a virus or that it was
sent to you. Then, your own computer becomes
infected.
One of the best defenses is to install an updated
anti-virus program and keep it updated.
"To avoid spreading worms, students need to
keep their machines up to date as much as possible
Mattocks said.
"Students have the ability to keep their
machines virus free. All current ECU students,
faculty and staff can download a copy of Syman-
tec Antivirus Corporate Edition for their home
machine free of charge by visiting ECU'S down-
load Web site
A system may be infected if you notice odd or
unreliable behavior when using the computer. This
doesn't prove that the system is infected, but it does
indicate something that needs attention and may
need intervention.
Often the search lor an infection leads to find-
ing corrupted or damaged files or applications, or
even incipient system problems, which have noth-
ing to do with a virus infection.
More than 60 vulnerabilities to instant mes-
saging networks have been published. They range

Some students have personal difficulties to deal with this semester. Maybe new family problems arose over
the holiday break, or a relationship is not working out as well as they had hoped.
TIPS:
� When you are thinking about a personal problem and you need to start concentrating, ask yourself
this question; is there anything I can do about this problem right now?
� If the answer is "no then move on to something you can do something about like school.
� If the answer is "yes" then do it, or decide to do it later and move on.
� If you continue to worry, write the problem don n on a piece of paper. Write dow n all the facets of the
problem, and how you feel about it. This should get the problem out of your head, and onto a piece of
paper. You can always schedule time to worry later.
� Talk to a friend who can add a different perspective.
� Talk to a counselor who can give you a more objective view of your situation.

Lady Pirates too hot to handle
Willis muscles in for a shot
against the Charlotte 49ers.
Women remain
unbeaten in
Conference USA
ERIC QILMORE
STAFF WRITER
The women's basketball team
took care of business Inside Wil-
liams Arena at Minges Coliseum
Sunday by defeating Charlotte
80 - S5.
ECU used a huge second half
in outlawing the 49ers by 23
after the intermission. ECU held
a slim two-point margin going
into the half. The l.ady Pirates
won eight in a row and 12 of
their last 13.
The Lady lirates(14-4,5-0) saw
big games from senior forward
center Courtney Willis and
junior guard Jennifer Jackson.
Willis, who went into the game
averaging nearly a double-double
at 17.8 points and 9.8 rebounds,
finished with a game high of 26
points and nine rebounds. Willis
scored the majority of her points
in the second half pouring in 22,
after battling foul trouble in the
first half.
Willis shot 11-14 from the
field in just 25 minutes.
Jackson picked up the scoring
slack in the first half when several
l.ady Pirates went to the bench
with foul trouble. Jackson fin-
ished the day with a season high
of 24 points, including three 3-
pointers. The junior guard scored
11 of the team's 28 points in the
first half. Jackson also grabbed
nine rebounds, including live
on the offensive end.
Shanita Sutton grabbed a
career high of 10 rebounds,
which helped ECU overwhelm
Charlotte rebounding. The Lady
Pirates held a decisive 56 - 35
advantage rebounding, includ-
ing a 20 -12 margin in offensive
rebounds. Coach Baldwin-Tener
was pleased with her team's effort
rebounding.
"Wewere crashing the boards,
especially in the second half. 1
thought we did a much better job.
I think we had nine at half time
and there were a lot of second and
third opportunities we got in the
second half that paid off for us
said Baldwin-Tener.
The offensive rebounds led to
14 ECU second chance points.
It was a big day for Courtney
Willis who, with her 26 points,
passed two former Lady Pirate
players in career scoring. Willis,
now ninth all-time for career
scoring, moved past Sarah Gray

on her way to the basket.
and Alma Beatha. The majority of
Willis's points came in the post
where ECU held an outstanding
46 - 20 point advantage in the
paint.
Freshman guard Keisha
Anthony, who averaged 15.4
points over conference play, had
a miserable day from the field
going 0-7 but dished out a career
high eight assists.
Charlotte (11-7, 4-1) was
led by 18 points by star guard
Peaches Harris.
No other 49er scored in
double figures as l.ady Pirates
were in their faces defensively
all afternoon.
The Lady Pirates will play
Charlotte again when they travel
to conclude conference play on
l'eb.27.
Two Pirates scored for the first
time this season as all 13 players
saw action for the second time
this year.
Senior forward Angela Sye
notched three free throws and
grabbed three rebounds in just
five minutes of action. Sye was
initially expected to be out for
the season due to a knee injury,
but rehab went well. She's played
sparingly since her return.
Sye was redshirted and missed
part of her sophomore year and
entire junior year because of her
injury.
Guard Shakira Clarke also hit
a jumper for her first points of
the year.
Clarke was added to the roster
mid-season after enrolling in the
spring semester due to complica-
tions from differences in school
schedules, being from Canada.
The l.ady Pirates are off to
their best start in more than
20 years. The 1980-81 women
started off at 15 - 3.
Coach Sharon Baldwin-Tener
is making history in her second
year since taking over the
troubled squad. Baldwin-Tener
coached throughout the season
while pregnant with her first
child. The baby, Luke, is due in
mid-February, and Baldwin-
Tener plans to be on the sideline
for each game.
Baldwin-Tener knows her
team, which was picked to finish
11th by conference coaches, is on
the verge of something special.
"I'm really excited for our
team today. That was something
I told them in the locker room.
The thing is, it just gets a little
tougher as we go along Bald-
win-Tener said.
The attendance was 876.

Lady Pirates hand UMBC
first loss of 2004 season
Swim teams split final
home meet of season
TONYZOPPO
ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR
The men and women's swim-
ming and diving teams swam
against UMBC Saturday in
their last home meet of the
season and came away with a
split.
The women knocked the
Retrievers off, dealing them
their first loss all season, by a
count of 134 - 109. Meanwhile,
the men came up short, falling
127- 114.
Leading the women was
junior Diane Parker and
sophomore Lucy Hicks as both
came up with two first place
finishes each. Parker took the
200 IM at 2:06:92 and thelOO
freestyle in 53.10, while Hicks
earned top honors in both diving
events. Also swimming well was
sophomore Adrienne Williams
and freshman Kate Gordon.
Williams won the 50 free-
style in 24.80 while Gordon took
the 200 butterfly clocking in at
2:05:06. Head Coach Rick Kobe
was ecstatic about the way each
If schools want to field de facto pro farm clubs
coaches NCAA should just make it official policy
team swam.
"It was an outstanding dual
meet against probably one of
the top teams on our schedule
said Kobe.
"The guys went down to the
last relay. It's the third year in
a row it's gone down to the last
relay. We're real happy about the
way we swam. Now we have to
get ready for William ix Mary
next weekend
Casey Cronin led the way
for the men once again winning
the 200 breaststroke (2:08:52)
and the 200 freestyle (1:41:18).
Sophomore Robbie Derr contin-
ued to dive well, placing first in
one-meter diving with a score of
282.08, while Greg Detwiler won
the three-meter scoring 255.98.
The match marked the
Pirates' last home meet of the
season, and the women improved
to 6 - 2 on the year while the men
fell to 5-3.
Bothteamslooktocontinueto
swim well against another tough
opponent next week as
they travel to Williamsburg, Va.
to take on William & Mary.

(KRT) DALLAS � Caspar
Whitney, the sports writer who
concocted the first All-America
college football team around the
turn of the century, wasn't fond
of one particular college club al
the lime, Washington & Jeffer-
son. Writing in 1 larper's Weekly,
he went so far as to urge Other
college squads to avoid schedul-
ing ol'WStJ.
Whitney's reason: The west-
ern Pennsylvania school's foot-
ball team was stacked with paid
non-students, or tramps, as they
were called then.
Imagine that. College play-
ers being reimbursed to play the
game but not go to class.
WkJ's method of putting
together a football team was a
common practice at the lime.
Most football was college foot-
ball. All most fans cared about
was how their favorite team
fared. Few worried about whether
the star halfback or center was
in school studying accounting
or agriculture, or enrolled at all,
so long as he managed to get the
pigskin across the goal line.
I lie practice of using tramp
athletes was never institutional-
ized. Colleges slowly organized
against it. The NCAA and indi-
vidual conferences drew up
myriad rules and regulations
to protect what they called
amateurism in college football,
especially, and in college athlet-
ics in general.
Ever since, colleges have had
to sweep aside overwhelming
evidence that their purported
reason for participating in inter-
collegiate sports is nothing but
a charade.
In fact, 1950s Heisman candi-
date and Sports Illustrated cover
boy Bob Cox told the St. Paul
Pioneer Press earlier this year
that the only reason he trans-
ferred abruptly from Washing-
ton to Minnesota was because
the Gophers offered him more
pay to play.
"I didn't make any bones
about it when I went to college
said Cox, who died in October at
69. "I said, 'What do you pay?'
That was pretty much how I
approached my college oppor-
tunities - who would pay the
best deal?"
More skin in women's soccer why stop there
(KRT) �You can call Sepp
Blatter a troglodyte for saying
women soccer players could
attract more fans if they wore
lighter shorts.
Or you can acknowledge
that the man running the most
popular sport on earth did not
rise to such a powerful position
by being stupid.
Sepp knows: Sex sells.
Will spectators watch an ath-
lete sheerly on the basis of how
attractive she is? Silly question.
Anna Kournikova has never won
a tournament, yet she remains
one of the most celebrated and
lusled-afler players in tennis.
Brand! Chastain is known
more lor stripping oil her soccer
jersey that lor scoring the win-
ning goal in the 1999 World Cup
on a penally kick.
With that in mind, let's
forget about why the objectifi-
cation of women's bodies makes
how they look more important
than what (hey do. Let's forget
about how reducing women
to titillating terms encourages
sexist attitudes in the workplace
and in relationships. Let's forget
about (he gender politics that
suppress the status of more than
half the world's population. Let's
forget dial women's beach vol-
leyball with suntan lotion ads
stretched across bikini bottoms
hasn't exactly supplanted the
NFL. Let's not be uptight on this
issue. Let's follow Sepp's sugges-
tive suggestion and Blatterize
other fringe sports. Hey, let's
make all sports more sexy!
BOOST SOMF. RATINGS
Women's wrestling will
be the only new sport at the
Athens Olympics. Incredibly
fit women entangled in a physi-
cal game of chess? Well, men's
wrestling hasn't hit prime time
despite those creeping singlets.
So if they really want to pack the
arena for the women's matches,
they ought to fill the ring with
mud or jello. Forget NBC. Put it
on the Playboy Channel.
Bowling needs help. Lots
of help. One word for those
backside TV angles: Thongs.
