ZACK HILL STAFF WRITER C :arter G. Woodson began Negro 11 istory Weeki n the 1920s because he was dissatisfied with the recognition African- Americans received in history books. Today, the celebration has extended to a month- long observance of black history throughout February. "The contributions of African Americans to this country lie at the core i of its existence and the void of information. And � "�HiStOn sometimes latk ol respect for it is why this time of V �r�,lu' I the year is important said l.athan Turner, assistant vice-chancellor at the Ledonia Wright Center. February provides an opportunity to learn about and appreciate contributions African Americans have made to our history. Turner said American history isn't complete until each segment of society's accomplishments are known. Students and organizations all over campus are taking part in spreading awareness throughout ECU. There will be events throughout the month sponsored by Ledonia Wright Cultural Center and the Black Student Union, the NAACI ECU Gospel Choir, National l'an-1 lellenicCouncil and the Intercultural Student Senate.

Barbara Jordan: Politician Overheated wire sparks weekend fire in Aycock Leo Jenkins Cancer Center unveils new technology Fire department, ECU police respond to call NICK HENNE STAFF WRITER The Greenville Fire Depart- ment and ECU police were called to Aycock residence hall shortly after noon on Saturday when a fire was reported as the result of an overheated wire igniting a mattress in a resident's room. Curtis Hayes, accredi- tation officer of the ECU police department, said when police arrived at the scene, the fire caused part of the second floor to become engulfed in smoke, and the Greenville fire department was contacted to extinguish the fire. The ECU police con- tacted Johnny Umphlet, SBI agent and former ECU police officer, to determine if the fire was the result of arson. Hayes said it is stan- dard procedure for the ECU Police Department to take measures to investigate if there is any criminal activity. Waz Miller, interim director of housing, said there was no evidence indicating any foul play was associated with the fire. "The SBI findings indicated it started due to the cord of an alarm clock which was plugged directly into the wall. It was balled up and was near combustible materials said Miller. According to Miller, see FIRE page A9 The Brody School of Medicine's linear accelerator, valued at $1.9 million, provides more effective cancer treatment than traditional therapy. " Linear accelerator device is one of six in country ADRIANNA DRAKE STAFF WRITER The Leo Jenkins Cancer Center introduced the Prtmatom Linear Accelerator, the latest technology in cancer radiation treatment, in a dedication ceremony last week. Valued at $1.9 million, the linear accelerator is a device that pinpoints where radiation is needed in a cancer patient.

Bush sending Congress $2.4 trillion budget plan with military, homeland security boosts WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush is sending Congress a $2.4 trillion election-year budget that provides big increases to the military and homeland security while squeezing scores of other programs in an effort to cut a deficit projected to top a half-trillion dollars this year Bush's spending plan, contained in a four-volume set of documents to be released Monday, will set off an intense battle in Congress and on the campaign trail as Democrats and Republicans try to convince voters that their economic prescription for the country is the right one. The president's budget would make his tax cuts permanent, while many of the Democrats campaigning for his job are seeking to roll back the tax relief, at least for the wealthiest Americans, as a way to get deficits under control The blueprint for the fiscal year that begins Oct. 1 calls for spending $2 399 trillion and World Annual Muslim pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia marred by stampede that kills 244 MINA, Saudi Arabia (AP) - A stampede killed 244 people and injured hundreds as pressure built up among tens ol thousands of Muslims performing the annual pilgrimage.

The crowd got out of control as people moved along a wide ramp leading to the "stoning of the devil" ritual - where pilgrims throw stones at three stone pillars, symbolizing their contempt for the devil. "All precautions were taken to prevent such an incident, but this is God's will said Saudi Hajj Minister lyad Madani.

They describe the network that circumvent international controls to sell blueprints hardware and know-how to countries running covert nuclear programs as involving people closely dependent on one another.

SGA reconvenes after two-week break Members'failure to make quorum hinders meeting STEPHEN RICE STAFF WRITER After a two week hiatus the Student Government Association reconvened Monday with an ambi- tious agenda. Legislation was introduced to make the election rules clearer for the upcoming spring elections. Despite the ensuing discussion and the two week break, no legislation could be voted on because quorum was not established. Since quorum was also not established at the first meeting of the semester, the SGA has not yet voted on anything this spring. "It's frustrating to not be able to vote on things said junior graphic design major and Senator Julie Kroger. President of the SGA Senate Ben Wyche said the issues brought up in this meeting would be dealt with next week. The SGA did undertake other matters of business. New senators were sworn in by Attorney General Jonathan Russell to fill vacancies of sena- tors who left the position or were removed.

The project builds on the existing Baby Love program, the state's prenatal i are program for expect- ant mothers in need of financial assistance. "The goal is to help women havchealthy babies said Sheila Bunih "Northarolina has one of the highest infant mortality rates in the nation The project includes Hali- fax, Hertford, Gates, Nash and Northampton counties. All five counties experience poverty levels and measures of health that are among the worst in the state which could be a reason why the area's infant mortal- ity rate (deaths per 1,000 live births) is also among the worst in the state. During 1998-2000, the region had an infant mortality rate of 13.1 percent compared to the state's rate of 9.2 percent. The grant focuses on caring for victims of domestic abuse and delivering a healthy baby. "Until recently, screening for intimate partner violence of pregnant women in the area was very inconsistent Bunch said. "Health officials didn't do enough for them After laying the ground- work for the project in the first year, Bunch will continue to train public health officials in the area to recognize domes- tic violence on pregnant women during prenatal screenings. She will coordinate full day training programs with the help of domestic vio- lence shelters, health depart- ments and the UNC. School of Public Health. "We're showing these people what to look for and what ques- tions to ask Bunch said. Bunch is personally reaching out to the communities to help stop domestic violence. She will work with the rural region's churches to develop domestic abuse awareness pro- grams. "Often in very rural areas churches are the pulse of the community Bunch said. "There will be training programs with members of the church to help them identify the signs of abuse Bunch said she hopes that spreading more information about domestic violence against pregnant women and teach- ing people how to spot it, will encourage victims to break the silence that often accompanies abuse. "The program is beginning to do what it was intended to do Bunch said. "I'm very excited about the opportunity to make a difference This writer can be contacted at news0theeastcarolinian.com.

There weren't any stars in the game this year and Super Sunday had no buzz. It's true, there wasn't a Deion Sanders or a Peyton Manning or a Donovan McNabb. But remind me, where were they? At home watching the game. Ask them if they care about having star power but were sitting on the couch watching a game that every man dreams of playing in. I admit, there was so little star power that the coach of the Patriots, Bill Belichick, was the most talked about participant in the game and he didn't play a down. However, the game proved that stars are made on the big stage not in a hype machine. Every football fan in America now knows the name of Pan- thers quarterback Jake Delhomme, and maybe even half of them will be able to correctly pronounce it now. Both Delhomme and Patriots quarterback Tom Brady put up an offensive show on Sunday to be remembered. Both threw for three touchdowns and over 300 yards apiece. The players who hauled in some of those passes also played like stars. Mushin Muhammad caught the longest touchdown pass in Super Bowl history (85 yards) in the fourth quarter with his team trailing. Deion Branch hauled in 10 receptions for 140 yards and a score for the Pats, continually keeping New England drives alive. Patriots Kicker Adam Vinatieri kicked a game winner with just seconds on the clock to deliver the game to New England, marking yet another game-winning kick, his second to win a Super Bowl. Players don't make the game important; the games make players important. That is the best thing about the NFL. The league stands on its own because of the tradition that is NFL Sunday. The Super Bowl did not develop into a de facto national holi- day because of famous players of the past like "Broadway- Joe Namath. Super Sunday was the catalyst for Namth's nickname after he and his Jets knocked off the colts in Super Bowl III. He, and others like him (Joe Montana, Terry Bradshaw) became stars because they performed on the biggest stage when it counted. Primetime stars don't make the Super Bowl, the Super Bowl makes primetime stars. The purpose of TEC's opinion pages is to invoke conversation in ECU'S community.

SfiSff THREAT wtrcawus In My Opinion In My Opinion End Of halftime ShOW What CBS doesn't want you disgraces Super Bow! to see during the Super Bowl Jackson, Timberlake's performace simply too much to bare TONY ZOPPO ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR When Janet Jackson stepped on stage for the halftime show in Super Bowl XXXVIII, I was antici- pating some Rood music, hot dance moves and gyrating hips. I got all of those, which is quite nice. Jackson is a very attractive woman - I don't think any male in the country minds seeing her on stage shaking her tailfeather. However, I didn't expect to see her right breast exposed at the end of the number. What Jackson and Timherlake did is not just wrong because it could get CBS in a ton of trouble, hut it's degrading. I know this is considered enter- tainment in this modem day, hut shouldn't the line he drawn somewhere between indecency and entertainment? Britney Spears kissing Madonna was a little out there, hut hey, there was no nudity, and it was certainly a novel idea. But this is going too far. We're talking about the big- gest national sporting event of every year - more than ISO mil- lion people watching it from their homes and even more watching at the game and elsewhere and this great entertainer and at least somewhat classy woman decides t. get almost half-naked on stage. I understand the halftime show is about entertainment and adding a little something to the game that's outside the context ot sports, hut this is ridiculous. When did it stop being degrad- ing for a woman or man to bare him or herself in front of the public eye? I'm all lor skimps clothing or wearing what you want - by all means, feel liberated if need be - I don't complain when 1 see J-I.o in a thong. But practically stripping in front of ISO million people is completely uncalled for. Especially al an event where the focus of the night is a foot- hall game! I think society needs lo take a little time to look at itsell and wonder if we have our values in the right place. It seems like everywhere you go, advertise- ments and anything that needs lo he sold is getting a message across that appeals lo having your head in the gutter. Although some of these aie hilarious, then' should be a line between humor and degrada- tion, not only lo the individual hut also to our culture as a whole. Entertainment is all good and well, I'm all for a great football game with some funny commercials and some bumpin' and grindin'in between. Bui let's try to keep things in perspective from now on, instead of taking them out. "Although I've decided to retire, I still have a lot to contribute to the game Jay-Z Rapper (KRT)�For many Ameri- cans, the commercials that air during the Super Bowl have become as appealing a part of the spec tacle as the action on the gridiron. But this year, viewers won't get to see what may have been the best ads submitted to CBS for the big game. CBS canned a 30-second spol sponsored by the lib- eral online activist group MoveOn. The commercial, which won a celebrity-judged competition for the honorol being MoveOn's Super Bowl ad, depicts children performing a variety of blue- colla.r jobs � washing dishes, collecting garbage, working on an assembly line. The tagline near the end of the commercial asks, "liuess who's going to pay off President Bush's SI trillion deficit?" The network also spiked a commercial submitted by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. That ad featured scantily clad women and suggested that meat-eating might contribute to impotence. Of course, CBS has no problems with commercials that objectify women or that are about impotence. You11 see many such commercials during the Super Bowl. What makes both the PETA and MoveOn spots unacceptable, says CBS, is that they're advocacy advertising. But the network will be airing an ad that shows, according to AdAge.com, what would happen if "other types of manufacturers made products similar to tobacco, like ice cream bars embedded with glass shards Thai sounds a lot like an advocacy commercial to me. The difference, CBS argues, is that anti-smoking ads are non-controvetslal because everyone agrees smoking is bad lor you. Bui doesn't everyone agree that massive budget deficits are bad, too? Don't reputable economists agree that they pose long-term threats to the economy? Isn't there bipartisan sup- port for dealing with the exploding deficits? And didn't the current fiscal mess begin after President Bush look office and pushed through massive tax CUts7 II there's a controversial aspect to the MoveOn corn- no i c ial, it may be that it downplays the magnitude of the looming debt crisis. According to the Congres- sional Budget Office's most recent estimates, the deficits from the Bush years could wind up totaling a lot more than $1 trillion. I en Fox's Bill O'Reilly couldn't see any problem with the MoveOn ad. "I was surprised that CBS turned this down. It's not offensive, makes a legitimate point politically said the conservative television com- mentator. CBS seems to move the bar that it uses for determining what's controversial. Last year during the Super Bowl, the network aired White House ads linking drug use to support for international ter- rorism � a claim that certainly generated a fair amount of controversy. During Sunday's championship game, CBS will air White House commercials promoting anti-drug efforts. But as innocuous as the ads may seem, some of the Bush administration's tactics in fighting the drug war are noth- ing if not controversial � just ask Supreme Court justices Stephen Breyer, Anthony Ken- nedy and William Rehnquist, who loath the White House's zealous support of mandatory-sentencing laws. MoveOn and Its support- ers believe there's something fishy about CBS' vetting of commercials. They point out that the Republican-controlled (longress, after a veto threat by Bush, recently approved loos- ening of an ownership cap that sets limits on the total national TV audience any one network can reach. The online group cites Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz who said CBS and Fox would have had to sell stations they'd already purchased had Congress, at the behest of the White House, not raised the cap from 35 percent to 39 percent of all households. "Why did they pick 39 percent?" MoveOn quotes McCain as asking rhetorically on the Senate floor. "So these two conglomerates could be grandfathered It's true that CBS and Fox lobbied heavily for the rule change. It's also true, as the Center for Responsive Politics has documented, that of the nearly $14,000 in soft money i oni i ihut ions CBS made during the 2000 election cycle, 98 percent of it went to the Republican Party. MoveOn, on the other hand, does not enjoy such warm relations with CBS; in fact, it helped organize grass-roots opposition to increasing the network ownership cap. It's quite possible that MoveOn wasn't really a victim of political payback. It could just be that CBS' interpretation of its own stan- dards are a little shaky. Nevertheless, MoveOn raises some important big- picture questions. To wit: Why do we let a few corporations control the airwaves, which, after all, belong to us, the public? Why do we allow big money to continue to play such a huge role in our political system? And, last but not least, could there be a relationship between these two things?

HARRELL STAFF WRITER New doctoral opportuni- ties In Medical Family Therapy, Rehabilitation Counseling and Administration will be available to ECU students in fall 2005. The UNC Board of Gov- ernors approved the two programs in early January. Students in the Medical Family Therapy sequence will collaborate with health care providers and families to resolve broad issues inher- ent with acute and chronic illness, said Cynthia Johnson, Ph.D chairperson of the Department of Child Development and Family Relations. Full time students can complete the 57 semester hours in a minimum of three- years. Johnson said along with a master's in marriage and family therapy or a related discipline, applicants must also have an acceptable performance on the ORE, a cumulative GPA of 3.5 on a 4.0 scale in graduate work, a sample of scholarly writing, a statement of purpose and a personal interview with the program faculty. "We anticipate accept- ing applications beginning fall 2004 for the first class of students said Johnson. Unlike the Medical Family Therapy program, the Rehabilitation Counsel- ing and Administration pro- gram require! 38 semester hours above the master's degree. Permission to plan the RCA graduate program was granted one year ago. However, . Paul Alston, Ph.D profes- sor of the department and a member of the com- mittee that proposed the new program, said they were not allowed to establish it until January. "I feel relieved it was a lot of work to get the pro- gram! approved, but now a good quality program will be created said Dr. Paul Alston. The Rehabilitation Depart- ment is now looking for fac- ulty to teach the program. ECU offers T5 doctoral programs, while another six are in planning.

"They understood the necessity of the evacuation Knight said it is important not to have electrical cords bundled up because they build up heat. Hayes said he recom- mends students inspect all electronic cords and appli- ances in their rooms to make sure there are no hazards, and when the fire alarm is set off, always evacuate the building. Rebecca Andrews, fresh- men interior design major, said students were unaware of what was happening at the time of the fire, but evacu- ated the building in a calmly manner.

Scientifically known as the marmotn moitiix hut more com- monly labeled a woodchuck or groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil is the most famous of his kind. Every Feb. 2, I'lliI ventures out at Gobbler's Knob in Punx- sutawney, Pa to make his annual weather prediction. As the legend goes, if he sees his shadow, the groundhog will return to his hole, and we can expect six more weeks of winter. But if his shadow isn't there, then spring is on its way. Oil Monday, thousands gathered in 17-degree weather to watch Phil come out of his hole for the 118th annual fes- tival. To the dismay Ol the rrowd, and perhaps the rest of the nation, Phil saw his shadow, indicating six more weeks of winter. The legend of Groundhog Day originated from Candlemas Day, an early Christian holiday celebrated in Europe. On Candle- mas Day. members of the clergy would bless and distribute candles to the public. An old English song said, "If Candle- mas be fair and bright, come, winter, have another flight. If Candlemas brings clouds and rain, go winter, and conic not again The Romans believed if the sun made an appearance on Candlemas Day, an animal, spe- cifically the European hedgehog, would cast its shadow bringing the "Second Winter" or six more weeks of bad weather. They shared these beliefs with the Germans, and early German set- tlers carried these with them to Pennsylvania. In Pennsylvania, the Ger- mans encountered many ground- hogs, which resembled the Euro- pean hedgehog celebrated at home. If the groundhog saw his shadow, he would return underground, forecasting a pro- longed winter. Thus, the Ger- mans claimed, "lor as the sun � More Groundhog Day information Groundhog Day History - Phil's Past Predictions (since 1887) www.groundhog.orghistorypredictions.html Groundhog Day Photos www.groundhog orgphotos Other Links www.punxsutawneyphil.com shines on Candlemas Day, so far will the snow swirl until the May The first of the Feb. 2 rituals was held in the woods border- ing the town of Punxsutawney in 1866. Since then, Ground- hog Day has become a popular tradition in the U.S. Phil's pre- dictions have been accurate only about 39 percent of the time since the first record in 1887, yet the yearly celebration in Punx- sutawney still draws several tens of thousands of visitors to the small western Pennsylvania town. And through the years, Phil has become something of a celebrity, making himself known in Washington, D.C Hollywood and throughout the country. In 1981, Phil donned a yellow ribbon in recognition of the hostage situation in Iran. He traveled to Washington, D.C to meet with President Reagan five years later. Phil also appeared on the "Oprah Winfrey Show" in 1995, two years after Columbia Pictures released the award-winning comedy Groundhog Day, starring Bill Murray and Andie McDow- ell. The film grossed more than $100 million worldwide and even won a British Academy Award for Best Screenplay. The movie was not shot in Punxsutawney, but most of it was filmed 600 miles away in the small town of Wood- stock, 111.

We are among the privileged who are acquiring - and will he able to reap the benefits of - a col- lege education. However, as the Tunnel of Oppression pointed out, only 8 percent of the world's population has a college educa- tion. This is just one among the many harrowing facts and sta- tistics highlighted during the event, which sought to elucidate the horrors of the world to which most of us are oblivious. Students were overwhelmed and awed by the presentation of the funnel of Oppression. "I've never been here before and I've heard it's really power- ful said Diane Mitchell, junior biology major. "It has proven to be power- ful - I almost cried; this is really sad Five themed rooms were set up III the great rooms of Mendenhall, each with a dif- ferent atmosphere of hate or prejudice encountered in the daily lives of many people. Many rooms featured actors and skits to emphasize the ste- reotypes endured by many sects of people. The first room Oil the tour was the siism room. This room portrayed all the ridicule that overweight people go through everyday. Posters showing the recommended weights for age groups and heights, the horrors of plastic surgery gone wrong and people yelling out the common, hurtful names overweight people are often called served as remind- ers of how tough it is to be a larger person In our health obsessed society. Groups were given a taste of their own medicine when they were lined up and taunted for ail of their flaws. The tour then proceeded to the socioeconomic status room. Four actors roamed around posing as homeless people - begging for money, asking for cigarettes and asking for the signs in the room to be read to them. The room also had many posters that showed in many countries hunger, home- lessness and income are not just problems, but epidemics. "We want people to think of how socioeconomic status affects insurance, hunger and access to Students anxiously read the signs and posters in the socioeconomic status room. health in different countries said Ryan Winget, coordinator of Jones Hall and actor in the socioeconomic status room. The third room spotlighted the atrocities that Native Americans have endured from the slaughters by Christopher Columbus and the Conquis- tadors, massacres ,such as the Battle of Wounded Knee, and the continued impoverishment of many Native Americans and tribes. "A lot of the stuff I'd been exposed to and a lot of it I hadn't said Jeremy Magid, senior graphic design major. "A lot more people should be exposed to this - a lot of teachers don't teach this- they only teach the easy history A sign on the wall in the room clearly illustrated this point How many of your teachers taught that the Spanish used nursing infants as dog food? The tour continued on to the black vision room where the continued struggle of African- Americans against racism was displayed. A skit portrayed a black student who knew all the answers to his homework ques- tions, but his teacher refused to call him on him because of his race. The student, enraged, got up and explained this and threw his chair in disgust as he left the classroom. Another skit illustrated that we have many untrue stereotypes of black people.

The New Kngland Patriots came out on top, defeating the Carolina Panthers 32-29 on a game-winning field goal by Adam Vinatieri with four seconds left on the clock. Vinatlerl missed from 31 yards earlier in the game and had another blocked. His only four misses in indoor stadiums prior to the 41-yard winner had all come at Reliant Stadium. Head Coach Bill Belichick praised his kicker after the win. The game in Houston broke two Super Bowl records. One for the two teams being score- less for the first 27 minutes and the other for the longest passing touchdown. That play came credit to the Panthers'Jake Delhomme hooking up with Mushin Muhammad for an 85- yard touchdown togive Carolina their first lead of the game in the fourth quarter. Ironically, plays like that were part of the story of the game. Carolina took the role of making big, quick strike plays while New England's scoring ability, in at least the last part of the first half, came Oil long drives established mainly by the run. The first score came from New Kngland as Tom Brady threw a touchdown pass to wide out Deion Branch, capitalizing on the first turnover of the game by Carolina. Brady finished the game 32-Of-48 for 354 yards, three touchdowns and one interception while also claim- ing the MVP title. Branch, his main target of the night, ended the game with 10 receptions for 143 yards and one score. The touchdown came with more than three minutes left in the half and Carolina responded in a huge way when they got the hall off the kickoff. Though they were penalized after the kickoff and started the drive from their own five-yard line, the Panthers drove down the field on eight plays in only 1:58; a very typical drive for the Patriots, not the Panthers. Jake Delhomme, who com- pleted l6-of-33 passes for 323 v,inls and three touchdowns, New England's Walter (13) and Fauria (88) jump on kicker Vinatieri (4) as they celebrate his game-winning field goal in the final seconds of the Patriots 32-29 victory over the Panthers. capped the drive off with a 39- yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Steve Smith to tie the game up 7-7 with little more than a minute left. However, the half wasn't over just yet. New Kngland got the ball back with 59 seconds left and drove 78 yards on six plays in only 41 sec- onds. Brady and Branch hooked up once again, this time for an enormous 52-yard gain from the Patriots' own 34-yard line and then took only two more plays to score. Brady, one of the best play action quarterbacks in the league, faked to Antowain Smith on the five-yard line and threw it up to David liivens who made a great catch in the hack of the end zone. The score put the Patriots up 14-7 with only 18 seconds left. Bill Belichick then made per- haps one of his worst decisions all season by squib kicking to the Panthers who advanced the ball to their own 47. After a 21-yard run by Stephen Davis, kicker John Kasay split the uprights with a half-ending 50-yard field goal to put the Panthers three points closer. The third quarter resumed with play much like the first 25 minutes of the first half. There was hard-hitting, great coverage, a ton of quarterback pressureand ball control. The Patriots had the ball for an astounding 38:58 of the game, lopping Carolina by almost 18 minutes. They had the ball for more than half of the third quarter on their combined three drives, and the last drive carried into the final quarter of play. New Kngland scored only 14 seconds into the fourth quarter on a short Antowain Smith run to put the Patriots up 21-10. Smith finished with 26 carries for 83 yards and one touchdown. To see SUPER BOWL page S5 Women come up short over weekend Lady Pirates fall to DePaul, Marquette ERIC GILMORE STAFF WRITER The women's basketball team dropped both home games this weekend against Marquette and DePaul after posting an eight game winning streak. The l.ady Pirates were defeated by nation- ally ranked DePaul, 90-74 on Monday night in Williams Arena at Minges Coliseum. I CU (14-6, 5-2) failed to find an answer for the Khara Smith, Conference USA's second leading scorer. I Waul (19-2, 7-1) rode the coat-tails of cousins Khara and Charlcne Smith, both starters for the Blue Demons. The nation's leading team in scoring used a 54-point first half to jump out to a 21-point halftimc lead. The l.ady Pirates could not contest the Blue Demon jump shots as DePaul was deadly from the field. I he Blue Demons started the game hitting on nine of their firsl ten three pointers to build their big lead. DePaul finished nine of twelve from behind the an before the intermission. Head Coach Sharon Baldwin- Teller et hi ed t he lack of defensive pressure in the first half "We did a lot of standing around which let them get loose The Lady Pirates played tough but gave too little too late balls and rebounds said Bald- win-Tener. However, the l.ady Pirates never gave up. After getting down by as many as 24 in the second half, lie i ul it to just 11 when a Viola Cooper three rimmed out, which had the chance to cut it to single digits. Keisha Anthony, marred by foul trouble in the first half, helped lead the second half run. The l.ady Pirates outscored No. 15 DePaul in the second half 41-36. Baldwin-Tcner was happy with how her team played in the last half of the game. "I was proud of my team in the second halfBaldwin-Tener said. "We came out and went toe-to- toe with them. If we could have held them to just 36 points in both halves, it would have been a game ECU was led by senior for- ward center Courtney Willis, who went into the game averag- ing 18.1 points per game and 9.6 rebounds. She finished with 23 points and five rebounds. Willis shot the ball well from the field, hitting 11 ol (6 from the floor. Willis was matched up with Khara Smith and seemed to hold her own on the offensive end of the court but often gave up easy baskets on defense. Senior Alisha Bishop scored in double figures lor just the fourth game of the season finishing with 13 points on 6-of-9 shoot- ing. All three of Bishop's misses came from behind the three- point line. Jennifer Jackson and Viola Cooper both posted double figure scoring with 12 and 10 see WOMEN page 85 Track Pirates show continued improvement KCU men and women met l(or IC4A qualifying marks in six events as the Pirate track and field teams continued to show steady improvement while com- peting at the Gator Invitational on Sunday, in was among a highly com- pettttve field that uuluded several SI I anil ,(teams, as well as nationally ranked athletes.

V PAGE B5 HE EAST CAROLINIAN 2 03-04 Super Bowl from page B4 this point, New England had a staggering 5H plays for M)H yards whereas Carolina only had M plays for 136 yards. Smith's touchdown, however, marked the point of no return; where a seemingly low scoring and defensive game turned into a contest resembling that of an Arena Football League game. The Panthers responded on the following possession, driving 83 yards on six plays, capped by anoutstanding33-yard touchdown romp by running back HeShaun Foster. Foster went off-tackle left, broke through the line, lowered his shoulders in between a blocker and two Patriots and came out practi- cally untouched, racing toward the end-zone where he dove in to make the score 21-16. The Panthers went for the two-point conversion following the score, trying to make it a three-point game. Delhomme's attempted pass to Muhammad fell short, and the Patriots stayed up by five. New Fngland drove clown the field on the following possession and was knocking on Carolina's door with little more than seven and a half minutes left in the game. Tom Brady rolled left on a third and nine pass play, was pressured and made a bad decision, throwing the ball up into the end one for tight end Christian Fauria. Reggie Howard intercepted the pass from Brady and returned it to the Panthers' 10-yard line, preserving only a live-point deficit. Jake Delhomme followed up the turnover with two incomplete passes on first and second down. On third down, however, history was made and the momentum shifted. Delhomme dropped back and couldn't find an open man. He stepped up in the pocket, rolled left and launched a bomb downfleld lor Muhammad who caught the ball in stride and beat New Fngland cornerhack Eugene Wilson lor a record setting 85- yard score. I he Panthers went for another two-point conver- sion and came up short, leaving the score at 22-21. New England got the ball back with more than six minutes left and drove 68 yards while chew- ing up 4:02 on the clock. Tom Brady finished the drive with a play action pass, one-yard touchdown to linebacker Mike Vrahel, who entered the game as an eligible receiver for that one play. Belichick then pulled out the tricky play, running a direct snap play where the center snaps the ball to the running back and the quarterback fakes as if the snap went over his head. The play caught Carolina completely off-guard and the Patriots went up 29-22. The Panthers went 80 yards on seven plays, taking only 1:43 to tie the game up. Delhomme threw a 12-yard touchdown pass to a wide-open Ricky Proehl, who also tied the game up against New Fngland when he played for the St. Louis Rams in Super Bowl XXXVI. Delhomme, who led the Panthers in eight game-winning drives in the fourth quarter or overtime this season, had ice water in his veins once again, completing five out of six passes for 73 yards on the tying drive. I nni Brady got the ball back for one last shot with 1:08 left. He came through again, driving down the field and completing a huge 17-yard pass to David (livens on third and three to set up a 41-yard field goal with nine set onds left. Vinatieri jogged on the field to redeem himself and made the winning kick putting New Fngland up 32-29. Carolina would be unable to do anything with the following kickoff, giving the Patriots their second Super Bowl win in three years. This writer can be contacted at iports@theeaitcarolinian.com.

The February Funk visits campus each year. We have already seen evidence of this phenomenon. Symptoms include: � That roommate who was your best friend is now getting on your last nerve. - Your normal energy level has been sucked out of you by some unseen being. � You suddenly find all of the activities that used to be exciting are now as boring as watching paint dry. ' The simple act of touching a textbook can turn your brain into mush in an instant � You go to your favorite restaurant and the food tastes like cardboard. DON'T LOSE HOPE! Tliis malady has heen found to be lemporary. There are only 29 days in February lliis year. In most eases, the February Funk will leave by the end of the month, or if not then, it will leave on spring break. Students have the funk because February is the coldest month of the year, and it is the most intense part of the spring semester. Someone described it this way: You are far enough into the tunnel that you can no longer see the beginning, but you can't see the end yet. Here are some pointers to get through the funk: ' Donl react on impulse. Understand that your fuse is short, and so are the fuses of those around you. Give yourself and others a chance to breathe before reacting. - Your brain Is less likely to become mush If you keep up In your coursework and are not doing everything at the last minute. Study In short durations, and find ways to be creative with the material you are trying to leam. In other words, write about it. read aloud, pace the room, use Index cards � Take care of yourself In healthy ways: Find time to unwind by exercising, talking to friends, playing sports or games, or listening to music. Find the ways that you can relax and use them. DONT alter your mood with substances. When you get done using the substance, you are still stuck with the funk If the Funk is causing you difficulty in getting things done like going to class, taking care of your basic needs, or if the funk seems unbearable to you, use the walk-in services at the Counseling Center. We are located in the Wright Building and can be reached at 2S2-328-66GI. Some people have a very special version of the Funk which includes the Valentine's Day Curse. These are people who either don't have a significant other and find Valentine's Day to be a very lonely time, or people who have unrealistic expectations of their significant other on Valentine's Day. The Curse can lead to feelings of rejection, loneliness, and can damage relationships. Here are some tips for warding off the Curse: � Ask yourself honestly "Can I realistically expect that my loved one will meet the expectations I have for himher on this day? If not, you are setting yourself up for disappointment and possibly resentment Start the day with appropriate expectations given what you know about your loved one, and you will probably have a better day. � If you are not in a relationship, make it fun. Plan to go out with friends, have a Valentine's Day boycott party etc. � If this Valentine's day Is bad tor you, remember that this Is only one year and one holiday. It Is not a prediction of things to coma v 20304 THE EAST CAROLINIAN � SPORTS PAGE B6 Pirates remain winless in C-USA ECU falls in close one to DePaul, 70-65 BRANDON HUGHES SENIOR WRITER The Pirates are still search- ing for that first conference win halfway through the Conference USA regular season. ECU and Head Coach Bill Herrion are spiraling and need a victory to regain control of their season. The Pirates lost 70-65 against UiT.iul Saturday night. It was ECU'J eighth consecutive loss, dropping the Pirates to 8-9 (0-7). The Cincinnati Bearcats beat the Pirates 80-57 two nights earlier. ECU was without forwards Gabriel Mikulas and Corey Rouse for both match-ups Mikulas is out for the season with a broken arm and Rouse suffered a concus- sion last week during practice. Nine players suited up for Herrion and each saw significant action. Freshman Frank Robin- son made his first career start and scored seven points on 3-of- K shooting. Senior tiarth Grind- ley saw plenty of action helping in the depleted frontcourt and ripped down four rebounds in nine minutes of play. LCD held a slim 36-34 at halftimc but shot 35 percent in the second half to doom any chance of picking up the win. Mike Cook hit a jumper for the Pirates with less than 18 minutes remaining to give ECU their last lead at 40-38. The Blue Demons then went on a 13-3 run as Andre Brown scored eight points during the spurt. Brown finished the game with 19 points and eight rebounds. The Pirates weren't out of it yet as a Moussa Badiane bucket tied the contest at 62-62 with 2:30 left before DePaul pulled away at the free-throw line. The Blue Demons hit 19-of-29 from the charity stripe compared to a I0-of-13 performance from the Pirates. Cook finished the game with a career-high of 17 points and six assists and Krroyl Bing contributed a season high of IS points. Luke MacKay also Stepped up for the Pirates nailing three treys for nine points. The Pirates have struggled both on the road and at home. And the three-ball was the difference; DePaul's perimeter shooting was lights out while ECU hit a mere 29 percent from beyond the arc. Drake Dlener was on fire for the Blue Demons, scoring 21 points while hitting 6-of-7 three-point attempts while DePaul hit 9-of-17.
