School grows
in enrollment,
950 students
declare major
Communication
program hires faculty
to meet demand
KRISTIN DAY
STAFF WRITER
ECU'S School of Communica-
tion has increased in size during
the past couple of years.
The school's role used to
be minor, placing journal-
ism majors in the English
Department and broadcasting
majors in Theatre Arts.
Recently, the school joined
with the arts to form the
College of Fine Arts and Commu-
nication, combining the Schools
of Art, Music, Theater and Dance
and Communication.
LinnerGriffen, interim direc-
tor for the School of Communi-
cation, said the integration is
a "good marriage
"Most of the fine arts are
in some way communicated
to others said Griffen.
"In many ways, I see com-
munication as part of that glue
part of that piece that allows
the other fine arts to present
themselves in a very favorable
light
The School of Communica-
tion became a more prominent
school when more students
declared a major or minor in
the field.
Griffen said the school's
growth is solely because of Its
increase in popularity.
"The number of students
who are actually accepted
or admitted into the major
has grown Griffen said.
The school now has more
than 950 students, Griffen said.
To accommodate the growth,
the school hired more faculty
members for the positions of
teachers and advisers.

fortunate. We were able to bring

Colleges across the country have taken extra precautions, such as controlled dorm entrances, to keep students safe.
Police boost dorm rounds
Safety measures a
concern after rape
NICK HENNE
STAFF WRITER
ECU police have increased
their rounds in dorms and
Resident Advisers have
become more cautious since
the Jan. 19 rape in White
Hall.
Amy Davis, crime pre-
vention sergeant of the ECU
Police Department, said
residence halls are safe; each
residence hall is assigned ECU
police officers that do regular
rounds and are in communi-
cation with the residential
advisers, coordinators and
residents.
Davis said after the rape
occurred, the ECU police have
become more cautious patrol-
ling the residence halls.
Davis said there has been
talk of adding surveillance
cameras and a One Card
system for entry to residence
halls, although no definite
decision has been made.
The ECU police are pro-
viding several programs to
residence halls to improve
student safety and aware-
ness.
"We do safety and
security programs, alcohol,
self defense and domestic
violence programs said
Davis.
The ECU Police Depart-
ment provides a liaison
program, created to build
communication between
students and ECU police and
better reports of incidents.
The program allows stu-
dents to express their con-
cerns to ECU police.
A common violation in
residence halls is visitation.
There are often unescorted
guests, and visitors stay
in residence halls past the
university's legal visitation
hours.
Davis said if there is a
suspicious looking person
who doesn't appear to be a
student standing outside a
residence hall, students and
RA's should immediately con-
tact the ECU police.
"You never know if that
person is armed in any kind
of way, whether it's a knife or
any kind of weapon they
need to call the police depart-
ment Davis said.
Although there are several
safety measures provided, stu-
dents still express concern
.about residence hall safety.
Maria Sengebusch, soph-
omore nursing major and
resident of White Hall, said
she was a little more nervous
after the incident occurred
but feels safer now because
more people are aware that
safety is an issue.
However, she said people
could easily enter dorms
where they don't live by
simply waiting for someone
with a key to enter and going
in behind them.
Other universities take
different measures to help
maintain a high level of secu-
rity in residence halls.
Danielle Cook, senior
photography major at Syra-
cuse University, said students
swipe their university identi-
fication cards upon entry to
residence halls.

Wednesday shuttle
service a success
JASMINE D. HARRELL
STAFF WRITER
ECU'S late-night shuttle
program, Safe Ride, extended its
service to include Wednesdays
as of Jan. 21.
ECU police and Transit
Adviser, Scott Alford, decided
to add an extra day after diffi-
culties crossing 10th Street, and
inclement weather made the
use of the Safe Ride golf carts
impossible.
The new extended service
makes stops anywhere on
campus.
On weekends, Safe Ride pro-
vides service to about 100 stu-
dents a night, said Hank Bowen,
Safe Ride supervisor.
Bowen said there are
less students using the
service on Wednesdays, but
there are still more than on
Sundays.
Safe Ride ends services at
1 a.m. on Sundays but stays
close to the freshman park-
ing lot located on Dickinson
Avenue until 2 a.m. to accom-
modate freshmen returning
late from home.
Due to the high demand for
service, Bowen said in the next
few weeks, Safe Ride will run in
the daytime from 7 a.m. - 5 p.m
providing service to outer areas
of town.
"I think the new extended
days of Safe Ride will give
students more choices as to
which day they want to go
out said Shawn Braddy,
freshman computer science
major.
"It's also an added plus
for females due to some
of the things that have been
happening around campus
lately
Safe Ride provides service
for only ECU students by
checking students' One Card
before service is given, and
a student patrol officer is in
each van.
"My hope is that eventu-
ally more people will use Safe
Ride to attend campus events
Bowen said.
"There are concerts, art
shows and many different
entertainment events that run
until late at night. Hopefully, it
will bring more participation
to those events
Safe Ride, which was
proposed by Student Gov-
ernment Association, was
created as a service run from
grant money to ensure students
arrive home safely and
unthreatened.

UNC students protest
proposed tuition increases
RALEIGH (AP) - About a dozen
students gathered in front of the state
Legislative Building on Monday in an
effort to persuade lawmakers to stop
tuition increases at public universities

The board's budget committee
is expected Friday to discuss

Growth
from page A1
on 10 new faculty Griffon said.
(iriffen said she believes
the increase in student com-
munication majors is due to the
increase of technology in society
as a whole.
Children grow up on com-
puters and video cameras, she
said, and when they come to
school, the interest carries into
a field such as broadcasting.
Sophomore Emily Waite
said she chose to major in
communication because she
loves to interact with people.
"I can't have a job where
I work by myself with numbers
or something a; a desk with
no one to talk to said Waite.
Space is an issue for the
growing school. Renovations
in Flannagan and Rivers
buildings caused a shortage
in i lassrooms that were once
available.
Based on class size,
a communication student could
find their class in an auditorium
in loyner I ast or a small room
surrounded by off ires in Rags-
dale.
"It will get belter because
obviously those buildings will
complete their renovations,
and students that are normally
in there will begin to occupy
those classrooms (Iriffen said.
New technologies will also
be needed to accommodate the
rising number of students. (Iriffen
said new computers will he
available in labs soon.
Curriculum will not change,
however. This is only the second
year these particular classes
have been taught and the

Still, (Iriffen said faculty Is
always considering new elective.
Currently, the school is
searching for a new director

start of the fall 2004 semester,

Snow Hill Primary implements dual language program
'Las Puentes'builds
bridges for Hispanics
Editor's Note: The version of
this story that ran in the Feb. 10
edition was incorrectly formatted;
therefore, we have re-run the story
in its entirety.
PETER KALAJIAN
STAFF WRITER
Snow Hill Primary has
established a dual language
immersion program, the
first of its kind in rural east-
ern North Carolina to be
utilized by Kindergarten and
first grade Hispanic students
in the area.
In cooperation with the
ECU Geography Department,
Snow Hill is taking bold steps in
the ongoing challenge to offer
alternate learning opportunities
to Latino and Hispanic children
living within their district.
Under the new program,
Spanish-speaking students
will be able to learn from a
Spanish- speaking instructor,
while collaborating with peers
and participating in normal
activities.
Dubbed "Las Puentes
which is Spanish for bridges, the
program is the brainchild of Pat
MacNeill, director of instruction
and federal programs for Snow
Hill Primary School.
"The Greene County
Schools have been very pro-
gressive in watching cultural
changes in our communities
said MacNeill.
"We appreciate all the efforts
of Rebecca Torres and ECU
Rebecca Torres, associate
professor of geography at ECU
and Snow Hill parent, became
involved in the program when
she wrote a state grant to help
fund "Las Puentes
Torres was unavailable for
comment at press time.
"Las Puentes" requires an
application for admittance, and
the program runs for the entire
school day. One-half of the stu-
dents currently involved in the
program speak English as their
second language.
Camoosha Bell is a bilingual
graduate student in international
relations and a Spanish tutor for
the modified program at ECU.
"The earlier people can learn
a foreign language, the better
said Bell.
"I feel that programs like Las
Puentes should be a federally
mandated part of the education
system. It would not only be
advantageous to the individual
but to society as a whole
Snow Hill, which sits in one
of the poorest counties in the
state, has a Hispanic population
of approximately 1,600, or 8 per-
cent of the overall population.
The majority of Spanish-
speaking inhabitants of Greene
County originate from Mexico.

John Kerry claims victory
in both Tennessee, Virginia
FAIRFAX STATION, Va.
(KR'I?)?Sen. John Kerry of Mas-
sachusetts swept primaries in Vir-
ginia and Tennessee on Tuesday,
decisively defeati ng two Southern
rivals near their home turf and
all but assuring that he will be
the Democratic Party nominee
for president.
Kerry won easily in Virginia,
taking about 50 percent of the
vote, followed by Sen. John
Edwards of North Carolina with
26 percent and retired Army Gen.
Wesley (lark of Arkansas with 9
percent.
Kerry also breeed to victory
in Tennessee. With three-quar-
ters of the vote counted, he had
47 percent, Edwards 26 percent
and Clark 23 percent.
After finishing third in both
states, Clark decided to abandon
his presidential bid, a campaign
aide said late Tuesday night.
"General Clark has decided
to leave the race said Matt Ben-
nett, the Clark campaign's com-
munications director. "There was
tremendous momentum for John
Kerry and the mountain got too
steep to climb
Bennett said the decision
was a difficult one and that the
campaign opted to wait until
all the returns were in before
announcing the decision.
A formal announcement is
planned Wednesday in Little
Rock, Ark.
Kerry's victories, his first
in the South, gave him a new
jolt of momentum as he heads
into a showdown next week in
Wisconsin that could leave him
the acknowledged nominee of
his party.
He enters the coming week
having won five states in four
days and 12 of the 14 that have
voted so far. With Tuesday's
wins, he has shown political
strength in every region of the
country and among Democrats
from all demographic, economic
and racial groups.
More importantly, he
approaches next Tuesday's Wis-
consin primary without any
clear threat to his nomination.
card said Cook.
"If you are not a resident the
card will not work
Cook said a "public safety
person" stands at the front of
the entrance to residence halls
from 7 p.m. - 7 a.m. and keeps
records of everyone entering the
building.
Each person, student
or not, is required to show some
form of Identification and It is
documented upon arrival and
departure.
"They take a record of every-
one who comes in if there's
a problem, they have a record
Cook said.
There is also a 24-hour
front desk at each residence hall
that watches for people sneak-
ing in behind other residents,
Cook said.
Gillian Haux, freshman
nursing major, said she would
feel more secure if ECU provided
a similar system.
According to Aaron Lucier,
assistant director for technology
and interim associate director
for Campus Living, the overall
safety in residence halls has
not become a rising concern,
despite the recent rape in White
Hall.
"Safety and security has
always been a concern in resi-
dence halls, and I wouldn't say
this year has been particularly
more of a concern said Lucier.
Amy Davis said she would
like to remind students that
everyone is susceptible to crime
and they should always be con-
cerned about their personal
safety.
"1 think, mostly, when stu-
dents come on campus, they
think they are immune to crime,
until at least they have been vic-
timized, and then that's like an
eye opener Davis said.
Lucier said the rape could
make residence hall students
more aware of their own safety.
"Incidents like this serve as a
wake up call for most of the com-
munity and the staff to double
their efforts in trying to keep the
buildings secure Lucier said.
"It the rape is a serious
incident, and it concerns us,
and 1 hope it concerns resi-
dents in a way that it makes
them more aware of their
environment, makes them feel
a little more responsible in
maintaining the security as a
community member
Kristen Tucker, senior lamilv
and community services major
and an RA of Slay and Umstead
Halls, said she has definitely
become more cautious after the
rape occurred, and she feels other
RA's have as well.
Lucier said the univer-
sity takes several measures to
ensure safety in residence halls,
including educating stu-
dents on ways to create safe
environments.
The university can lock
doors and have staff members
complete rounds, hut residents
need to take responsibility as
well in ensuring their own
safety.
Building security is a joint
effort between the community
and the university, Lucier said.
Lucier said the construction
taking place on campus does
reduce the security of students.
"They construction sites
tend to create boxed-in areas
- they tend to create areas
where students cannot see
as clearly as we would like, and
so that's why we try to add the
additional lighting and deal
with concerns when they arise
Lucier said.
"The fact is those construc-
tion areas are always a concern
when talking about safety, and
what we try to do when we see
problems we try to add lighting
when appropriate, we try to
create fencing
Lucier said the new construc-
tion jobs taking place would
create a safer environment with
more open walkways and better
lighting when finished.

Our View
Fortunately,
no one is ever
perfect, and
those prob-
lem areas
that you
glare at in
the mirror are
things every
person knows
all too well.
Watching the Grammy's Sunday night, you
couldn't miss it - perfect bodies. Bodies that
have sucked, tucked and stuffed their way into
America's perception of perfection.
Just about everyone has a part of their body
that they have designated a "problem area
and every year millions of Americans go under
the knife in an attempt to repair the so-called
problem.
The question is would you choose
plastic surgery if given the option?
Society has warped the human mind into
thinking that we should all resemble the pic-
ture perfect models that look out at us from
magazine stands.
Cosmetic surgery is a radical attempt to help
get that guy from class to notice you or to get
the girt that lives around the comer to go out
on a date with you.
In our opinion, no one should change, espe-
cially physically, for anyone else.
Would you really want to appease someone
who probably feels equally as insecure about
some part of his or her own body?
And those celebrities everyone thinks are per-
fect, have spent millions for their look. They all
have the money to get that makeup artist and
fashion designer to pick out and cover those
little imperfections that we never see on the
covers of our favorite magazines.
Not to mention, studies that show people who
undergo plastic surgery once are more likely to
do It again, which is definitely true for celebrities
like Michael Jackson, wtiose view of himself
has caused him to make a habit out of going
under the knife.
Fortunately, no one is ever perfect, and those
problem areas that you glare at in the mirror are
things every person knows all too well.

Opinions In Brief
TEC EDITORIAL BOARD
Bring em' back
Let's all hope the Carolina
Panthers management brings back
the necessary players for another
playoff run next year.
The last two years, the Super
Bowl loser hasn't made it to the
playoffs the following year. Caro-
lina should sign both Head Coach
John Fox and wide receiver Steve
Smith to long-term deals.
This is the only way Carolina
will continue to have the fan sup-
port seen this past year. In 1996,
when Carolina went to the NFC
championship game, the team
was dismantled the following
year.
Hopefully, the guys in charge
will take care of business.
Williams' frustration
Roy Williams is frustrated, I
guarantee it. North Carolina is
playing the most inconsistent
ball of maybe any team in the
country.
They lost to Florida State,
and then the Heels go on to wax
Virginia and beat NCSU. Next
Carolina loses to Clemson, the
absolute worst team in the con-
ference, then plays great against
Duke in a two point OT loss and
goes on to beat Wake Forest last
Saturday.
They have the most talented
individual starting five in the
country and yet they can't get
consistent play out of more than
two of them. Coach Williams is
dying to get some of his hard
working, tough, humble team
players in the program.
And until Williams and
UNC get a strut of toughness
and suck it up out there on the
court, they'll be mince meat
come March.
Is Valentine's Day a
real holiday?
What's the purpose of
Valentine's Day?
Tome it's just another day
a day that's supposed to be for
celebrating feelings of love. But
truly it's another day for people
to spend money on each other
and exchange meaningless gifts
- which will be forgotten in less
than two weeks. Most people wait
until Valentine's Day to say or do
something special for someone
else. Whether It's romantic or
not, the things that will be said
and done just for the sake of it
being Valentine's Day probably
will not be repeated until next
year on Valentine's Day.
Too old to drive
I think that once drivers reach
a certain age, they need to hand
their license in.
F.lderly drivers aren't safe just
as a driver who's too young is not
safe. Some elderly drivers begin
to lose vision, have heart prob-
lems, and other health problems
that could cause them to wreck
or be unsafe for other drivers on
the road.
I was going down the road
yesterday and had to brake from
55MPHto25MPH. I thought the
person may be turning, but no,
he was driving 25 MI'H or slower.
There was no where to pass so 1 had
to stay behind the erson. The hard
thing to determine is at what age
should you lose your license?
Government could set an
age limit like they set a begin-
ning driver's age. Or they could
set an age and give the elderly a
restricted license. My experience
with elderly drivers has not been
good. But then again, I wish all
drivers drove like me!
Make them hear you!
In less than a year, the
students of ECU will have a
chance to participate in one of
the greatest privileges that this
country bequeaths unto its
citizens.
Americans will be given a
chance to vote for the president.
Not only that, students will be
given a chance to vote for or against
local politicians running for elec-
tion or re-election.
Too many people complain
about issues affecting them on
campus and around town. This
will be a chance to do something
pro-active about it.
We all have to realize that
there is no greater voice in the
country than one articulated in
the voting booth. We should all
start to read up on the national,
local and regional issues in the
country, county and this region
of the state.
This may not be where you
were born, but it's where we live.
We should have a say in how it's
governed and we do!
None of us got into school
without being able to read, so
let's put our literacy to work and
educate ourselves on what people
actually stand for and not just
look at what party banner flies
behind them on their election
posters.
Young voters have been
ignored by politicians for years
because most assume we don't
know or don't care about the world
around us. Don't prove them right
this year.
ECU's money woes
ECU plans to build an
intramural structure costing mil-
lions of dollars, which will suppos-
edly be the largest in the nation.
The first question that comes to
mind: Where are we getting this
money? ?
Tuition, of course.
The structure won't be finished
for years, which means a lot of us
won't ever get to see the building
we funded. This is unfair.
Just because ECU doesn't
really stand out academically
in North Carolina doesn't mean
some giant building will do the
trick.
Why not use the money to
hire more teachers? Why is this
university so concerned with
buildings lately?
In My Opinion
Fear not, life can be cell-free
(KR'I)?After the dot-com bust
came the cell-phone boom, and it
hasn't stopped ringing.
(.ells are a mixed blessing, espe-
cially when that nifty $59-a-month
plan mushrooms, unexpectedly,
into a $159 bill. Certainly it says
something about our culture and
economy that cable TV and wire-
less phone companies are locked
in a death match to see which can
produce the highest monthly bill.
The price of electricity and anti-
quated landlines is chump change
by comparison.
Fear is the wireless provider's
greatest promotional tool, espe-
cially since Columbine and Sept.
II. It's a gadget for the anxious.
Many users feel unmoored
when they leave the house without
one, despite having survived much
of their life incommunicado IS they
strolled the grocery or drove Main
Street. It's as if the chance of a flat
tin or worse, is increased exponen-
tially by the phone's absence.
The underlying message is "no
cell phone equals bad things It's
like going out without a wallet or
pants. This is marketing at Its most
brilliantly devious.
There are second-graders with
cell phones, though the kids are
virtually never without adult
supervision. I know a 10-year-old
with a cell phone and a Palm Pilot,
the better to book play dates and
bath time.
Teen-agers have become the
greatest beneficiary of the fear
industry. At the end of 2002,
according to one major study, half
were packing cells. I suspect that
number is way higher now, consid-
ering the angst teen-agers inspire in
many parents.
For adolescent users, cell
phones are both freedom and
wireless umbilical cords. The tech-
nology has allowed them to be
more mobile, though there's no
evidence they've become inde-
pendent. (In the contrary, It's
turned them into toddlers.
The chauffeur, that being a
parent, is a seed-dial away. So
is the chef, which would also be
the parent, as well as the bank
and that bounty-hunter for all
things missing.
Honestly, if you tookall those
cell phones away, teen-agers
would have to do some things
themselves, like walk.
Or show up when they said
they would.
And woe to the parent foolish
enough to believe that a cell helps
her keep tabs on her offspring.
When a child calls on his Nokia
to tell you he's arrived home
from school, it's time to place a
discreet follow-up call on the
house line.
Cell phones haven't made
people more efficient. They've
increased tardiness and irre-
sx visibility, according to another
study. They've fostered selective
information-sharing, bringing
missed the last bus" stories Into
the 21st century.
Since the cell phone, eople
are ringing up the same individu-
als more frequently to have less
substantial conversations at a
conspicuously higher cost. We're
reaching out to annoy someone.
In the last month, I've
noticed people on the phone
while exercising at the gym,
taking a (supposedly) pastoral
walk in the woods and - though
I didn't actually see it - in bath-
room stalls. People either loathe
downtime without a voice in
their ear or they worry they'll
lose out if they're not an annoy-
ing ring away.
that, or they simply can't
shut up.
In My Opinion
American's should say 1 don't'
to Bush's marriage proposal
(KRT)?Last month, President
Bush used the State of the Union to
Comment on the state of our unions
- our marital unions.
Bush's address included a call
for "our nation to defend the sanc-
tity of marriage and the adminis-
tration is proposing a $1.5 billion
initiative that would help build
the interpersonal skills required
for successful marriages, especially
among the poor.
Strong marriages are a worthy
goal and a key ingredient to a
healthy society. But at a time
when our budget is spilling red ink
to the tune of $500 billion, when
our schools are strapped for cash,
our states are going broke, 43 mil-
lion people have no health insur-
ance, and we are committed to the
multibillion dollar reconstruction
of Iraqi society, is this the best way
to spend federal dollars?
Surely we can rely on extended
families, communities and clergy
to help couples keep their rela-
tionships strong. Note the irony.
Aren't Republicans small-govern-
ment purists? Only, apparently,
when it comes to protecting the
wealthy and ignoring corporate
excess. When the subject is our
bedrooms and our most personal
affairs, Republicans champion
the most intrusive government
imaginable.
In describing the marriage
initiative, Assistant Secretary of
Health and Human Services Wade
I lorn told the New York Times last
week: "We want to help couples
manage conflict in healthy ways.
We know how to teach problem-
solving, negotiation and listening
skills
Maylte Horn should be passing
along those skills to his administra-
tion's foreign policy team, whose
idea of healthy conflict manage-
ment is the unprovoked invasion of
a sovereign nation. An administra-
tion that can't even make nice with
some of our most faithful allies is
now telling us how to conduct our
personal relationships.
At the heart of conservative
doctrine is the belief that, if you
are poor, there is something
wrong with you. If you are down
on your luck, it must be because
your lifestyle does not meet their
standard of what is traditional or
mainstream. No amount of men-
toring or conflict management
could have saved my marriage to
a man who left me alone and des-
titute at the age of 29, with three
young children to raise.
W hat 1 needed at that desperate
moment in my life was not right-
wing moralizing, but the social
safety net - the very social safety
net conservatives seem deter-
mined to tear down. Although I
was employed, I needed public
assistance to make ends meet, so
that I could provide my family with
life's basics - food, health insurance
and child care.
Only truly compassionate gov-
ernment policies helped me turn
my life around
We don't need government
marriage counseling; we need
good jobs with good benefits. We
need flexible workplaces, universal
health insurance, affordable child
care, safe after-school programs
and much more. We need a gov-
ernment that helps ease the pres-
sures on hard-working parents who
never seem to have enough time or
money to meet their obligations to
their families without compromis-
ing their jobs.

Emerge, Greenville's hottest
art gallery located at 404 S. Evans
St is challenging the Greenville
community to think tiny - tiny

New Subway hopes to add beer to menu
The Subway on Tenth Street hopes to add beer to its menu
Store to serve alcohol
with health food
TOMEKA STEELE
STAFF WRITER
The new Subway in Green-
ville, located on 3120 E. 10th
St may be unlike any other on
the East coast. Owner Ashley
Bleau wants the new Subway
to be one of the first to have
beer on the menu.
While still under debate,
corporate reportedly isn't giving
the green light because beer
conflicts with the image Subway
is currently conveying.
Bleau is a 2000 graduate
of ECU who owns seven other
Subway franchises in North
Carolina, and he plans to have
as many as two in Greenville.
When you think of
Subway, the image of Jarcd
Eogglc instantly pops into the
mind. The public is familiar
with Eoggle's loss of 245 lbs.
by eating only Subway
sandwiches for a year.
Subway is seen as a healthy
alternative to competing fast-
food chains. They are now
advocating their two new Atkins
Friendly Wraps, which have
11 grams of carbohydrates or
less.
Subway aims to have fresh
foods that are tasty and nutri-
tious, endlessly advertising
their seven subs with six grams
of fat or less. This image may
prevent beer from ever being
served at the new Subway here
in Greenville.
The sale of beer could
threaten the reputation and
credibility of Subway as a

accordance with health since
regular beers have between 90
and 200 calories.
"1 would think that Subway
would want to serve beer to get
business from college students.
But Subway is on this big health
kick with the Jared diet and now
serving Atkins. Maybe they want
more business from people who
aren't watching their weight,
but beer is definitely not a part
of a healthy diet. It totally con-
tradicts the message that the
Subway franchise is sending out
said Erin Brothers, senior nursing
and exercise sports major.
The decision whether to
market beer is still under consid-
eration, because the corporation
realizes how much money can be
made serving beer in close prox-
imity to a large campus.
"I wouldn't go to the new
Subway specifically for beer but
it probably would help the own-
er's business since it is right by

Weekend Excursion has
been one of the most popu-

southeast, winning fans over
show by show. Their pop-rock
sound, lively shows and various
cover songs, such as "Uockin'
In the Free World "Bombs
over Baghdad" and "Johnny B.

great, even without radio play or
many publicity opportunities.
Their time together as a
band has ended and Weekend
Excursion is breaking up.
"The band has done
enough, and it's a common wish
to stop while we're still having
fun said Sam Fisher, lead singir
of Weekend Excursion.
Fisher, a former ECU student, ,
is now starting a solo career
after being with the band for
several years. He spent a lot of
time )laying tennis for ECU
and thought he wanted to play
professionally. Meanwhile,
Fisher began to play guitar. His
lirst show was an "open mic"
at the Firehouse Tavern, in
Greenville about 10 years ago.
Upon graduating, he worked
at Wachovia Bank, while still
performing in a band. Unin-
spired by banking, he tried
to gain success by going solo
full time. At one of his shows,
Fisher was introduced to Jeff
Foxworth and Chris Grocfa
of Weekend Excursion. They
asked if he would be interested
in replacing their former lead
singer. Fisher auditioned and
weeks later he was performing
in front of hundreds.
Weekend Excursion became
popular throughout the south-
east, producing five albums and
selling 30,000 albums indepen-

a great body to go with great ocals.

While her voice was sensational, her wardrobe needs to
be completely overhauled - her clothes are louder than

I he worst thing about last night's performance is that
only two contestants will move on. I'm not sure if the judges
chose talented singers to perform first, or if last night's per-

for this season.

I'm not sure il that wasa bad thing. When you know you're up
against seven Other worthy competitors, you should choose a
song that complements your voice.
I think tonight's top performers were 16-year-old Diana

of High Point, NC Their performances were great, and their
voices were powerful I can see either one of these ladles going

The Pirates have dropped

of the pack.
Saturday night's loss defi-
nitely falls in the "heartbreaker"
category as well. The Pirates were
just a few free throws away from
beating a very good Charlotte
team. BCU had a two-point
advantage until 49ers' Calvin
Clemmons slammed home
the game-tying basket as time
expired, sending the game into
overtime where the Pirates fell
short 96-90.
"We have been down this
road so many times before. There
are obviously no moral victories

rion after the team's loss.
The Pirates now have to look
ahead to tonight's game against
another tough opponent in the
Memphis Tigers.
After starting the conference
season 0-2, the Tigers have been
on a tear as of late, ripping off
seven in a row in C-USA. Their
most impressive victory on the
schedule to date came against
the number six nationally ranked

Intramural basketball playoffs will begin in less than a week
Intramural basketball

Intense competition at

BRENT WYNNE
STAFF WRITER
The intramural basketball
season has recently gotten
underway and things are start-
ing to heat up on the court as
teams are battling for playoff
positions.
In the current format, each
team is designated tour regular
season games to be played in a
two to three week span. A team
must win at least one game to
qualify for the playoffs that
begin Feb. 16.
According to Assistant I lirec-
tor of intramurals, Laura Triyo-
nls, there are nearly 100 teams
competing this year. Teams are
split into divisions according to
skill level and their affiliations
with ECU.
The divisions include frater-
nity purple andgold, men's purple
and gold, sorority, women's,
co-rec, and gradfacultystaff.
The largest division is the
men's purple league, which has
about M) to 40 teams.
Teams will not be seeded
according to regular season
records due to some problems in
the past with teams with identi-
cal records getting unfair draws
in the playoffs. Instead, teams
that qualify for the playoffs
must send a representative to
the student recreational center
on Wednesday to sign up for a
playoff time that is convenient
for their squad. Ibis eliminates
conflict on the basis that it allows
the teams to decide when they
will play.
With the regular season set
to end this weekend, Trivonis
is pleased with how things have
proceeded thus far.
"The season is Hearing an
end, and we have seen some
great basketball played up to
this point. We are excited about
the playoffs because there are a
lot ol good teams left, so it will
definitely be very competitive

ROBERT LEONARD
STAFF WRITER
Minges Coliseum became a
whistle test Saturday night.
A total of 66 fouls were called
between ECU and Charlotte. All
but five of LCU's players fouled
out; and one of those five had
four fouls. While the amount
of fouls called was a unique
take on the evening, that wasn't
even the half of it. This was the
greatest game I've ever seen at
Minges Coliseum.
the real game story was the
end ot regulation. K( .V is up two.
Charlotte has the ball and shoots
the three. KI.ANC. Senior Derek
Wiley grabs the rebound and is
fouled Immediately. Two tree
throws and this game is over.
Wiley steps up to the line. I In
lirst one rims out. Hey no prob-
lem right, we still got one more
Iree throw. With this shot, ECU
could forceharlotte to shoot t he
three. No good. The 49ers get the
rebound.
At this point, I got
nervous. Charlotte hadn't played
well all night, but over the
years, they have hit big shots
when they needed them. I've
always heard that when you're
down two at home, you play for
the tie, but when you're down
two on the road, you play for
the win.
( harlotte head coach Bobby
UltZ seemed to agree.
Charlotte's three-point
sniper, Brendan Plavich hurls up
a three-point brick with about
seven seconds left in the game
and the rebound flies out to the
foul line Charlotte senior and
fellow three-point guru Demon
Brown grabs the rebound and
shoots while slill in the air - iron
unkind.
At this point 1 thought ECU
had pulled it off.
Just as that enters my head,
it leaves rather quk kly. Calvin
lemmons, a reserve center for
the 49ers, only playing because
starting center Martin Iti b.nl
fouled out, runs straight to the
glass and slams home the Brown
miss - at the buzzer. Alter
celebration from one bench,
disbelief from the other, and
a review of the videotape, the
basket counted. ECU had a

Coach Donneiiwirth's
Comments:
"Jami is a tough competitor.
She is very versatile and can play
centrally or out wide in the back
or midfield. She has scored many
goals in high school but I feel it is
the intangible characteristics that
make her a special player

"Patty is a tenacious lvl

(KRT)? College basketball
remember it? March soon will
arrive, and you will swear by it.
You will profess expertise. You
will eat, drink and gamble it.
Somewhere in the middle,
you also will groan at college
basketball. How it's changed.
How the ' household names
went outside and never came
back. How, most important, you
hope that your precious college
football never falls this far.
That's the fear nowadays,
isn't it? Basketball is about to
get.inleresting, but first, there's
a federal ruling in Maurice CTar-
ett's favor. If it isn't overturned,
football players can skip as much
of college as they want. The Nil.
no longer could restrict them
with archaic draft-eligibility
rules.
Concern is at an all-time
high. Such anxiety leads to an
attack on college basketball.
It would be terrible if col-
lege football became like college
basketball.
Heads nod. Huffs abound.
Discomfort develops.
It's unfortunate.
The ill-advised ramblings
of the misinformed are always
unfortunate.
Despite attrition, despite a
big-man shortage, despite an
increase in lapses, college basket-
ball remains a solid, entertaining
and worthwhile sport. And the
NCAA Tournament remains
an infinitely more interesting
conclusion than a bunch of bowl
games.
While early NBA departures
have hurt the sport, they also
have added to the intrigue of
this national-title pursuit.
I would rather see more
dynasties and less parity, but I
cannot deny the power of parity.
It unfair to overlook the flaws of
NIL teams in order to praise the
league's parity anil then expose
the Haws ol college basketball
teams in order to slum parity.
"The proof is in the
pudding NIL Commis-
sioner Paul Tagliabue said at
the Super Bowl, defending his
rule and seemingly shunning
basketball's.
"Our system is working
Don't penalize college hoops
for being wide open. Celebrate
the fact that Stanford and Saint
Joseph's, two mildly regarded
teams at the season's start, are
unbeaten. Knjoy the arguing after
someone makes a legitimate case
as to why neither team will make
the Final Four.
Watch Florida, Arizona and
North Carolina struggle with
youth. Witness Gonzaga grow
from Cinderella to a dominant
program. Admire Kentucky,
now fearful of recruiting
pro-hopping preps, winning
games with toughness, not
talent.
You still have Duke either
to adore or abhor. You still have
Kmeka Okafor to marvel. You still
have Bob Iluggins to rip.
The days of witnessing a Pat-
rick Kwing in college are probably
over, but having 15 Final Four
contenders and an occasional
Carmelo Anthony isn't a bad
consolation. It certainly doesn't
warrant the disdain of football
fans who fall for NFL exaggera-
tion and le.n thai allowing
