THE EAST CAROLINIAN WEDNESDAY Missouri-Kansas City provost awarded chancellor position Steve Ballard will begin leading ECU in June ERIN RICKERT NEWS EDITOR Steve Ballard, 55-year-old provost and vice chancellor for Academic Affairs at the Univer- sity of Missouri-Kansas City was announced ECU's new chancellor at the Board of Governors meeting Friday. "On behalf of the search com- mittee and the Board of Trustees, we are elated with President Broad's selection Ballard has an outstanding record of leader- ship and accomplishments which will translate into broader and more rapid success for ECU said Jim Talton, chair of the Board of Trustees and chair of the Chancel- lor Search Committee. Ballard will succeed Interim Chancellor William Shelton, who filled the chancellor position after William Muse resigned in September. Ballard is scheduled to take over for Shelton and start receiving his $215,000 salary on June 1, but he will make his move to Greenville sometime in May. "This is a career aspiration for me said Ballard. Steve Ballard was introduced as ECU'S chancellor Friday. Appalachian State University students Emily McDermott and Dorothy Andrews oppose the tuition increase Friday. NC State students David Woolard and Adam Olejarczyk question how they will afford the rising cost of their educations. Unique slogans, like Michael Pinnix's from Winston Salem State University, abounded. Student protests fail, tuition increase approved BOG members pass amended fee hike ERIN RICKERT NEWS EDITOR Nearly 200 students from all 16 UNC- system schools gath- ered in front of the doors of the UNC General Administration Building in Chapel Hill Friday to protest the $300 campus- based tuition increase at the Board of Governors meeting, but board members voted to amend and pass tuition increases for the 2004-05 aca- demic year. ECU and 12 other schools will be affected by an in-state increase of $225 in the 2004- 05 academic year, while in- state tuition will rise $250 a year at the UNC-Chapel Hill and NC State. The NC School of Arts will be affected by a $450 in-state increase. Out-of-state tuition will climb an additional $300 at all schools with the exception of UNC-Chapel Hill, where it will increase $1,500 and the NC School of Arts, where it will increase $600. "I believe everyone in this room wants tuition to be as low as it can be, but we do not want to sacrifice quality said BOG member Charles Mercer. Board members said the increase compensates for state budget reductions and improves classroom quality in all 16 schools. The board also passed a student fee increase for ECU of $48 in addition to the $50 SCT Banner fee increase, rais- ing fees by 8 percent. The staggered tuition increase planned for ECU'S Brody School of Medicine was passed at the meeting. A $1,425 increase will affect first year medical students attending Brody during the 2004-OS, 2005-06 and 2006- 07 academic years. The increase requires second, third and fourth year medical students attending Brody in 2004-05, 2005-06 and 2006-07 to pay a fee increase of $925. Revenue collected from ECU's tuition increase will be used in the university's high- need areas. The funds will expand the academic advising system to accommodate more students, attract and retain fac- ulty members and contribute to need-based financial aid. Despite countless signs and captivating chants from students at all 16 UNC- system universities, the 800 private struggles cap- tured in "Personal Stories" are destined to come true. "Personal Stories" is book detailing how tuition increases have and would affect students and their families. Each member of the BOG was presented with the fin- ished book in February, which was assembled with the help of Student Government Asso- ciation representatives and the UNC Association of Student Governments. Many students, like l.inily McDermott from Appalachian State University, attended the protest and waved signs detailing the pages they were featured on in the book. see TUITION page A6 o Fee Breakdown Student Fees -Student fees will increase by 8 percent for a total of $98. In-state campus-based tuition -A campus-based tuition Increase of $225 will affect all In-state students during the 2004-05 aca- demic year, raising tuition from $1,910 to $2,135. Out-of-state campus-based tuition - A campus-based tuition Increase of $300 will affect all out-of-state students during the 2004-05 aca- demic year, raising tuition from $12,049 to $12,349. The Board of Governors voted not to Impose a system-wide tuition increase In addition to the campus- based increase. Brody School of Medicine -First year medical students attend- ing Brody during the 2004-05, 2005-06 and 2006-07 academic years will have a $1,425 Increase. -Second, third and fourth year medical students attending Brody In 2004-05 will pay a fee increase of $925. Though the 22,000 students enrolled at ECU and the 14,000 at UMKC differ, Ballard said the larger enrollment size brings great opportunity for university advancement. Ballard said he plans to use his understanding of the complexity of higher educa- tion to fill vacant upper-level leadership positions at ECU. He said he would work to quickly fill the vacant athletics director position. Nick Floyd, interim director of athletics, was appointed to tempo- rarily fill the position when former director, Mike Hamrick accepted the athletics director position at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas. Ballard said he would also start a national search to fill the vacant provost position, after ECU'S former provost, William Swart, was reassigned to a faculty position in September. Before taking his position at UMKC in 2001, Ballard served as the vice provost for research and dean of the graduate college from 1998-2001 at Bowling Green State University in Ohio. Ballard has authored more see BALLARD page A2 ECU police, housing react to early semester violence New security measures include increased patrols, dorm alarms KEITH S. BYERS STAFF WRITER The College Hill area has been the focus of violent crimes, but officials have vowed to make the campus safer after recent crime incidents. The most recent crimes include an armed robbery that occurred at Belk Hall on March 10 in which two assail- ants robbed two students, who were not injured, at gunpoint. The next day a student in Scott hall reported a man wearing a ski mask came into his room at 4 a.m pointed a gun at his head and then vanished without taking anything. ECU police said there are no leads to the suspect in the rob- bery case, but the gun has been traced to a Greenville residency. "The owner reported the stolen firearm to the Greenville Police Department. We are inves- tigating further in an attempt to identify a suspect said Robert C. Stroud, ECU police chief. Stroud said he could not advise as to whether the two incidents were related. There were also two dorm rapes within less than a month of each other, an armed robbery and a stolen handgun found on a shower stall floor. Stroud said patrols have been increased, but since students have been away on Spring Break, they haven't be readily available to offer any new information. Aaron F. Lucier, interim associate director of technology for Campus Living, said special alarms costing $350 have been ordered that will notify ECU police of dorm doors being held open for too long and will pro- duce an audible alarm. The alarm is called the "Monitor At press time, Lucier said an order of Monitors had been received and were being installed on College Hill, but he could not specify which dorms have received them. Lucier said the Monitor device will be put near the bottom of the door under the advisement of a locksmith and then have its reac- tion time calibrated. "The alarm is quite loud see CRIME page A2 Fair offers graduation materials, information Career help, ordering for ceremony on hand MICHAEL JACOBS STAFF WRITER Graduation can be a stress- ful time as students prepare for the ceremony and their future.

Prosecutors said the defendant's background had no bearing on his ability to plan and commit the crime against the young mother and her 11 -month-old son on June 30,2001. When he was 6 years old. Edwards was given by his mother to pedophiles for their pleasure in return for money to buy liquor and drugs, according to evidence. He also was intoxicated from alcohol and cocaine used eight hours before the kidnapping and lacked mental capacity to plan the crime, the defense said GOP candidates offer differing views on N.C. lottery RALEIGH (AP) - Republicans competing for the GOP gubernatorial nomination are showing more flexibility on the issue of a lottery than they did four years ago. but few seem to view the issue as a lynchpin in this year's campaign. Four of six major GOP candidates make similar arguments against a numbers game. Democratic Gov Mike Easley has made an "education lottery' one of his leading policy initiatives, but has failed to get authorization for a voter referendum through the Legislature during his first three years in office Despite polls showing a majority of voters supporting a vote, prospects for one in 2004 appear dim. House members continue to strongly oppose a referendum, which they voted down in 2002, and legislative leaders want to finish this years session before the July 20 primary. National Prosecutors open trial of Oklahoma City bombing conspirator with attempt to link him to blast McALESTER. Okla. (AP) - Prosecutors in Terry Nichols' state murder trial began their attempt to put the Oklanoma City bombing conspirator on death row by linking him to the Wast - even though he was more than 200 miles away. FBI lawyer Mary Jasnowski testified Monday that agents searching Nichols' Kansas home three days after the 1995 bombing found a receipt for 2,000 pounds of ammonium nitrate fertilizer, a main ingredient of the Oklahoma City bomb. Agents also found four 55-gallon drums of the type prosecutors say were used to make the bomb, and traces of the bomb ingredient outside Nichols' home Prosecutors allege Nichols also stole blasting caps to set off the explosion that killed 168 people The testimony came after prosecutor Lou Keel opened his case by arguing that Nichols hated the U.S. government and worked hand- in-hand with Timothy McVeigh in assembling and detonating the "huge, monstrous bomb Restricting calories increases life span In mice, researchers say WASHINGTON (AP) - A study in mice suggests that a low-calorie diet could help extend life even if the dietary change doesn't start until old age. The study, appearing this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, showed that mice at the relatively advanced age of 19 months that were placed on a restricted calorie diet lived 42 percent longer than litter mates who continued to eat a standard diet. Other studies have shown that young mice put on a low-calorie diet live much longer than mice fed the standard fare But the new research suggests that it is never too late to enjoy a life-extension benefit by reducing calories. Stephen R Spindler of the University of California, Riverside, leader of a team conducting the research, said there is little evidence yet that dietary restrictions will extend human life, but in mice, at least, sensible eating even at older ages clearly has a longevity benefit He said a 19-month-old mouse is the age equivalent of 60 to 65 years in humans. World Taiwan's president calls for a vote recount, says he'll accept new results TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) - Looking weak and tired just days after he was shot, Taiwan's leader appeared in public Tuesday for the first time since his disputed re- election victory and he called for a vote recount that he promised to accept "100 percent" As President Chen Shui-bian gave his televised address, the shouts and chants of thousands of protesters could be heard in the background. The crowd has been camping out in front of the Presidential Office since Saturday's tight vote, demanding a recount. Chens challenger, Lien Chan, insists that the election was marred by numerous irregularities, though he has provided little evidence to prove this Lien has also suggested that the mysterious shooting that lightly wounded Chen one day before the polls may have been staged to gain sympathy votes Militants attack military convoy hunting al-Qalda in Pakistan, killing 12 WANA. Pakistan (AP) - Attackers ambushed a Pakistani army convoy as it moved to join a counterterrorism offensive against al-Qaida militants near the Afghan border, killing at least 12 soldiers and wounding 15, officials said Tuesday. The attackers fired rockets that hit at least six army trucks In the ambush near Sarwakai, about 30 miles east of Wana, the main town of the South Waziristan tribal region. Some of the trucks were carrying fuel and were destroyed by fire in the attack Monday, a government official in Sarwakai said on condition of anonymity. He said 12 soldiers were killed and 15 were wounded. Army spokesman Maj. Gen. Shaukat Sultan confirmed the attack and said army troops cordoned off the area to search for the assailants, but he declined to give more details. Crime from page A1 said Luder, "You leave the door open for more than x-y- seconds, then the alarm goes Off. l.ucier said because the doors are hydraulic and dOM slowly, the alarm would have to be calibrated lor the safest duration. "We have gotten a small order of them Monitors, and they are being installed - we are moving as last as we can l.ucier said. In a Feb. 19 press conference (iarrie Moore, I'll.IX, vice chancel- lor for Student Life said, "We will (lose off open areas at designated limes within the residence halls, sue h as wash areas, and will assess adding panic buttons throughout residence halls in designated areas l.ucier said it might take some time before panic buttons in the dorms become a reality, lie said tile decision might rest on whether other universities decided to use them extensively. Moore also said that new fenc- ing would be added to the wooded area behind Jones Mall to restrict the use of the area as access to ii i grounds. Construction has yet to begin, "The bid is out with the contractor, and we expect con- struction to begin over the next month l.ucier said. Luder said although Campus living will be paying for part of the project, Facilities Services would be hacking the construction. Plans for adding 35 surveil- lance cameras in the College Kill area was also announced at the press conference. "It's a good idea, but we are not aware of any schools that do that extensively l.ucier said. "Campus Living, in consulta- tion with the ECU police, feels there are better ways to address the security concerns. We are working to add even more securit y staff. We are moving on adding cameras asa more permanent solution l.uc icr said. After the rape that occurred at Belk Hall, F.CU Housing Services sent out memos to all residents In the dorms, l.ucier said similar memos were sent out after the two roblieries. "We sent a flyer out to students in lielk and Scott the day after the last incident, since they were the halls in which the incidents occurred. We feel that the informa- tion st udents need toknow wascov- ered in the first letters Lucier said. Still, some students' parents feel safer having their children living in a dorm rather than an apartment. "Even it she lives in an apartment with one roommate, nobody would know if anything happened said Sima Hope, mother of Belk resident and fresh- man undecided major Jamie Hope. Jamie said having eight people live in her suite makesa safer living arrangement. The only time Jamie said she ever feels scared is when she walks back to Belk Hall after a night class.

Also, before ECU students traveled to their respective Spring Break destinations, two students were held at gunpoint at Belk residence hall. resident stu- In a Feb.19 press conference in response to safety concerns, university officials promised cameras, letters to parents, fences, additional dents are the Police presence and residence hall safety programs. first line of defense. But when TEC recently checked the progress of administration's safety promises, many of the promises were behind schedule. And although administration did respond to the recent robbery with another press conference, we believe officials need to stop the delay and take real action before we add another incident to this semester's long list of crime. We encourage students to get involved in their own safety as well, and resident students are the first line of defense. Every day, residents face the violation called "piggy-backing - following or propping resi- dence hall doors for resident and non-resident students We are asking students not to allow people to follow you into your residence hall. This may be one of the most beneficial steps you take in protecting yourself and your neighbors. And for all students, just be aware. Be alert to your surroundings. Take note of suspicious activity and report it to the police. For administrators, we're happy to see you have sent letters to parents and some residence halls are receiving audible alarms, but what about everything else you promised our campus community? We appreciate your efforts, but as the list of crime continues to grow, we would like to see you work a little harder to fulfill those promises to our campus - before anymore innocent students become victims. The purpose of TEC's opinion pages is to invoke conversation in ECU'S community. To respond to an opinion on this page, please send your letter, with your contact information for verification, to editor@theeastcarolinian.com. I would like to share the fol- lowing numbers with you: (1)45.4; (2) 59.6; (3) 71.2; (4) 76.2; (5) 76.1 And their coinciding num- bers: (1) 32.3; (2) 49.8; (3) 64.1; (4) 69.9; (5) 64.9 Anybody recognize them? They do seem innocent enough, don't they They arc just a hunch of numbers on one sheet ol a col- lege newspaper. Maybe even another set of insignificant sta- tistics nobody cares about. They are nothing that concerns you, right? Wrong. These innocuous looking numbers represent an immense amount of power. These num- bers control or influence a large portion of your life. Ilnse are voter statistics from the November 2000 elec- tion broken down by age group. I he lirst line is the percentage of eligible people who registered to vote. The second line is the per- centage of registered voters who got off their lazy butts and actu- ally voted. The age groups break down as follows: (1) 18-24; (2) 25-44; (3) 45- 64; (4) 65-74; and (5) 75. Only 45.2 percent of the eli- gible 18 to 24-year-olds in this country bothered to register to vote in the 2000 elections. Only a paltry 32.3 percent of those who diil register could take timeout of their self-centered lives to vote. To put this simply, of the over 26.7 million eligible 18 to 24-year- olds, just more than 8.6 million voted. Talk about pathetic. I know that the majority of current students were not old enough to vote in the 2000 elec- tions, but simple statistics (and historical data! indicates that some of our juniors and seniors are part of the majority ol young people who couldn't be bothered with voting. Why? Ask them. They shouldn't he that hard to run down. I usually find that they're the ones complaining the loudest at ut how "bad" things are in this country. Go figure. So, what about the rest of you There Is another presidential ele - tion this year. Are you going to vote? Are you registered? Do you even care? If not, why? Look at the numbers at the beginning of this article again. Do you know what they really represent? They represent a bunch of uninterested, lazy people who are abrogating control of their futures to dino- saurs (fossils, fogies, old farts, whatever) like me of the older generations. We are the ones deciding how you will live for the next 20 to SO years (that's how long it will take most of us to shuffle off this mortal plain). The young people who did not vote in 2000 essentially decided to let Mommy and Daddy keep making their decisions for them. Is that what you plan to do this year, too? Registering to vote is one of the most important things you can possibly do. It's so easy, too, whether you live in North Carolina or not. Vou can register at any post office. You can walk into your local election hoard and register. If you live outside North Carolina, you can request and mail in registrations or reg- ister the next time you go home. But if you are unable to do that, certain campus groups can help you register, too. The Campus Democrats have been out several times this semester doing voter registration drives. The Campus Republicans will be doing the same as soon as they get organized. What could be easier than registering to vote between classes? Not a Democrat or Republi- can? No excuse. You don't have to vote tor the candidates of the party you are registered with. You never have. So, you Green Party people, Libertarians, Inde- pendents, Constitutionalists or whatever party you care to align yourself with, register with either group the next time they are out. Then vote lor whoever you want. There is absolutely no excuse for you not to register and vote in the upcoming elections il you are eligible. Unless you enjoy having other people control your life, that is. The choice, or not, is up to you. Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, My letter is in regards to the fact that Mr. Jim Dishaw of the Hospitality Management depart- ment won't be returning to this university. Mr. Dishaw has brought so much to the Hospitality depart- ment over the years. I am the third person from our family to be interested in this major, and it was because of Mr. Dishaw's wealth of informa- tion and experience that I became interested. Our two daughters graduated in the hospitality program, and through them, I would hear about Mr. Dishaw's teachings. I am so thankful I joined the program last fall and could have the pleasure of being in at least one of Mr. Dishaw's classes. He has traveled throughout the world and has hospitality con- tacts in every place he's been. He's so great to share those contacts with students in help- ing them find just the right internships and the perfect jobs. He has passion for his teaching and he gives 100 percent to every student. I knew he had passion when I walked into his class the first day of the semester. lie personally went to every student in the classroom, shook their hand, introduced himself, handed them a copy of his syl- labus and welcomed them to his class, (his syllabus is the most thorough one I have ever seen.) Mr. Dishaw has been very influential in the hospitality industry in getting scholar- ships donated to the Hospitality department. Many of the students who benefited from those scholar- ships wouldn't have been able to stay in school had not it been for those scholarships. Rumor has it many of those contributors will no longer contribute to the pro- gram due to Mr. Dishaw's future absence at ECU. Mr. Dishaw has served as the HMA adviser for many years. How many other professors would be up attending the HMA officers' meeting at 6 a.m. every Tuesday? Not many, I'm sure! His dedication to that organization will live forever in the minds of those who served with him as an HMA officer. Sure, the hospitality program will continue, but it will never be the same. How sad for the Hospitality department at ECU, but most of all how sad for the students in that program. What's that old saying? Our loss is someone else's gain. Rock n' Roll, Mr. Dishaw, and carry on. Marsha Fleenor ECU Student "African-hyphen-American belongs to Blacks.

After .in advisory panel overwhelmingly recommended that move in Decem- ber, the FDA, under intense pressure from conservative and religious groups, recently announced that it would delay the decision for 90 days to gather more information on the pill. Last month an Illinois House committee approved a proposal that would allow such pills, which prevent pregnancy in the first hours and days after intercourse, to lx' sold without a doctor's prescription by pharmacists. I Mike the broad EDA plan that would allow the pills to be stix ked on drugstore shelves, under the proposed Illinois law the pills would still be kepi Ix'hind the pharmacy counter.

The potential benefits arc significant, liy avoiding unwanted pregnan- cies at the earliest possible stage, the pill can reduce the number of abortion procedures that are performed. In recent months the delate over the EDA proposal has veered from science and policy into the realm of religion and abortion politics. Some supporters fear that even with the lopsided advi- sory committee vote, the EDA will reject the recommendation. that would be a shame. The morning-after pill, first approved in 1998, isessentiallysafeand effec- tive with minimal side effects, the IDA has said. I he "Han H" brand pill, which is under EDA scrutiny, contains a higher dose of the same hormones found in regular birth-control pills. The pill is most effective if taken within 24 hours of intercourse, although it's still largely effective up to 72 hours. In some instances, it delays ovulation and prevents fertilization ol an egg. In other instances, it prevents the Implantation of a fertilized egg in the uterus. Some argue that since a dcxtor's prescription is required for birth- control pills, it should also be required for morning-after pills. But the nature of emergency con- traception suggests that a doctor might not lx readily available to write a prescription. What also worries many oppo- nents is that the morning-after pill would be more available to teen- agers, without parental consent or a prescription. That's a real concern. The availability of the morning- after pill will not, and should not, change the messages to teens from parents, mentors and other adults: I o not engage in sex until you are mature enough to assess and to handle the physical, emotional and moral ramifications of that. Do not engage in unsafe sex. The morning-after pill is not a routine substitute tor birth control; It does re t protect you from sexually trans- mitted diseases.

School of Nursing assistant professor Kliabeth Jesse, 1'h.O is working to understand more alHHit preterm births. The knowl- edge she discovers will be used to develop strategies to combat the situation and help find pre- M-ntative measures tailored to different ethnic groups. Preterm births occur prior to .57 weeks of completed gesta- tion. Jesse said preterm infants have increased risk for neonatal morbidity, neurodevelopmental and respiratory problems, along with other long-term disabilities and death. Jesse said preterm birth is the predominant cause of infant mortality, and North Carolina has one of the highest preterm birth rates in the United States. she said the infant mortality rate here is higher than the national average. "African-Americans suffer from this problem even more Jesse said. "They have the highest incidence of preterm birth, low birth weight infants and infant mortality. We are also plan- ning a focus group where we ask pregnant women what they think would help them if they were at high psychosoc ial risk in pregnancy Jesse said psychological needs in pregnancy are probably more important for low-income women because they are more likely to suffer from mental health problems, adverse lifestyle choices, postpartum depression and subsequent tragedy. These factors influence health risk behaviors like smok- ing, alcohol and drug use, which increase the incidence of low birth weight infants and pre- term birth. "Cigarette smoking during pregnancy is considered the most modifiable cause of adverse birth outcomes in the United States Jesse said. Karly and consistent prena- tal care is important to detect and prevent preterm labor and birth. "Quitting smoking and using drugs and alcohol, along with eating well and gaining weight during pregnancy can reduce the likelihood of delivering a baby early Jesse said. However, even if an expect- ant mother does everything cor- rectly, there is still a chance of delivering a preterm infant. "Ultimately there are no guarantees for a perfect outcome in pregnancy, but she a pregnant woman can increase her odds of a healthy pregnancy by reducing her risks Jesse said. The study's duration is scheduled to last three years, and The National March of Dimes Rirth Defect Foundation donated (160,535 to assist with the study. "The grant received from the March of Dimes will help provide different supplies, such as the questionnaires that will be used in the focus groups, and to help pay for student salaries said Martha Engelke, Ph.D associate dean for research and scholarship at ECU'S School of Nursing.

When conversing with someone who messages you, you should try to be as short and abbreviated as pos- sible. No one wants to read a long paragraph in a small text box.

Common abbreviations every user should know are TTYL or "talk to you later BRB or "be right back ()l; or "oh, I see" and LOL or "laugh out loud Also, typing a message in all caps indicates you are yelling at that person. "Instant messenger is my connection to friends, family and acquaintances that live anywhere in the world said Matt Smith, sophomore chemistry and biol- ogy major. AIM is also an avenue for expressing your creativity. You can use different colored fonts and backgrounds to express your personality. Black and white is boring and strains the eyes. If you are a funny person, then Comic Sans is a good font to use. Create new and original away messages. When users are not messaging, they tend to scan away messages on their buddy list. Don't be that user who is skipped because of the same boring "1 am away from my computer right now" default away message. When creating away mes- sages, use your own personal say- ings and jokes. Everyone enjoys a great away message. Mean or disgusting away messages are unnecessary - no user wants to feel bad after reading an away message. If you are having a bad day, it's best to sign off. You shouldn't include per- sonal information in your away messages either - no one really wants to know if you have gone to the bathroom. It's also not a wonderful idea to include exactly where you are going in case you have an AIM stalker. The number one rule with away messages is to never use them to fight with someone or let someone know you are mad at them. This is childish and stupid. One thing many users over- look is their buddy profile. Every user should have a buddy profile. The profile is just a little extra space for users to write what's on their mind. Many people use famous quotes, life experiences, song choruses and jokes in their profiles. Don't get sucked into put- ting your personal information in a profile, though, it's unsafe to list your cell phone number and home number. You don't want an AIM stalker to become a phone stalker. AIM users are never sure of whose buddy lists they are on, so limit personal information. If someone hasn't given you bis or her screen name but you know it, don't put it on your buddy list without permission. It's an inva- sion of privacy. On a brighter note, take advantage of many different smiley faces. Insert smiley faces when you need to convey an emotion that can't be put into words. Be sure to Include a buddy icon as well. A buddy icon is a picture always Included on your text box when instant messaging. A great place to download buddy icons is the AIM Web site. Many different buddy icons switch every month or so, so be sure and stay updated. Another great thing to have Included in a buddy profile is a special link. A special link could be anything from a friend quiz to a favorite Wei) site, lake advantage of that space to Include something entertaining for your friends. Be aware of what links con- sist of because some may contain Trojans or viruses that will harm your software. To ensure that this doesn't happen, always have a program that will scan your soft- ware for viruses such as Norton AntiVirus software.

The Green Wive stumbled !n game one but doused the I'irates with heavy hitting to take games two and three from ECU to win the series. Behind the bat of Trevor Lawhorn, the Piratessqueaked out a 6-3 victory in the series opener. The talented second-base- man was zero for his last 18 head- ing into the series with Tulane. Needless to say, he broke out in a big way. Lawhorn belted two home runs, the most significant one coming in the bottom of the sixth to give the Pirates their first lead. The sixth inning shot was never In doubt to Lawhorn. "I kind ol celebrated early, but I knew it wasgone said lawhorn. The two homers off the bat of lawhorn marked his seventh and eighth blasts of the season. Jamie Paige also went deep for the first lime and Ryan Jones continued his offensive explo- sion, tallying his seventh bomb of the season. Brody Taylor held the (ireen Wave in check, allowing only three runs through seven innings of work and striking out five to pick up the win. With the win, the Pirates ran their undefeated home record to an incredible 18-0. The celebration was short- lived, however, as Tulane struck back on Saturday, taking a 14-10 11th inning thriller from the Pirates to even the series. (ireg Din I hit a solo home run in the top of the 11th, which proved to be the game-winner as the Pirates failed to score in the home half of the inning. The Pirates squandered a chance in the bottom of the 10th as Brett Undgren singled to open the inning only to get picked off of first base. The I'irates followed with back-to- back singles, but the inning was cut short when Lawhorn struck out and twin brother, Darryl, popped up to end the threat. Head Coach Randy Mazey was not pleased with his team's performance. "We really set the game of baseball back about 10 years with some of the plays we made out there. It was just one of our worst efforts of the year said see BASEBALL page B5 ECU basketball fan asks, 'What if?' A summary of the season of despair ROBERT LEONARD STAFF WRITER As I sit and reflect on this past season of ECU basketball, I experience a mix of emotions. I feel excitement about where this program has come from but more importantly where it's going. I teel disappointment because it could have been a magical season. Most importantly, I feel sadness due to one of the most frustrating seasons I have ever seen a team go through. Sitting on a plane for two hours over break, I reflected alwut this past season. No matter what angle I looked at, I always kept asking myself a question that simply started with, "What if?" The season started with great expectations. Senior leadership, an athletic freshman class, and a man named Moussa guard- ing the basket highlighted the team's Strengths. The Pirates entered Conference USA play at K-2, which included wins against a good Coastal (laroMna team and a soon-to-be ACC member Vir- ginia Tech. The first conference game matched us up with UAB in Greenville. This game would prove to be a microcosm of con- ference games tor the Pirates, as Has lost by three. Later on in the season, ECU would lose to the same Blazer team by three in Birmingham. Let's not forget that this is the same UAB team that just knocked oft Kentucky in the NCAA tournament and is two wins away from the final lour. What il we would have won ECU'S season was marked with injuries and heartbreakers. those games? Would UAB have received an at-large bid into the NCAA tournament still? I doubt it. They finished 12-4 in the con- ference and had those two games gone the way of the I'irates, they are 10-6. Instead of tied for first, they finish fifth. This would have also dramatitally dropped their RPI. After a blow out loss at (:har- lotte, ECU was getting ready for I oulSVllie. This game brought an almost sellout crowd to play one of the hottest teams in the nation at the time and to have a chance to be seen on national television. In practice the day before the game, Gabriel Miku- las broke his arm and did not set foot on the hardwood for the rest of the year. What if this never happens? Does ECU win some of their nine losses by less than 10 after his injury? A late season surge that gave the I'irates four wins in five games placed them in 11th in the conference and matched them up with Louisville in the conference tournament, which they lost. Would you believe that this loss was by less than 10? It's hard to describe this season. At 13-14, ECU was one game short of qualifying for the NIT. They lost to Houston by two. They had those two three point losses to UAB. They lost the biggest heartbreaking game I've ever witnessed in person to Charlotte, where a dunk follow at the buzzer sent the game into overtime. What if this team made the NIT? Even if they go "one and done the experience that younger players, especially those in the backcourt, could have gained cannot be taught. It can only be acquired. So I sit here just as I did last year after Spring Break, looking forward to next season. If this team can win those close games, NIT will be a lock. I feel Moussa is going to have a breakout season. His offense improved dramatically this season to add to his incredible defensive timing to block shots. Mike Cook will take over games and will be a free throw shooter to seal close games, something our team missed this year. Belton Rivers is becoming a smarter player and he should have a good season from behind the arc. No matter what happens next season, no player needs to step up more than Corey Rouse. With both starting forwards graduat- ing this season, his role will dra- matically increase. He needs to be a scorer, but more importantly, a rebounder. What if these things happen? It's simple - post season play. This writer can be contacted at sports�theeas tcarolinian. com.

Jones and Grace were both 3-6 from the plate on the night. Game three was all Green Wave as thev rolled to a 9-0 victory over the Pirates. Cory Hahn, the talented lulane senior, went the distance for the Green Wave. The shutout marked the first lime ECU has lost a home series since 2002 against Louisville.

Siiiiins signs with Richmond Kickers The USI.A-league Richmond Kickers head office announced that former LCD midfielder Clyde Simms has signed a professional contract with them. Simms joins Joshua (i aleb) Norkusasa recent Kicker signee. Both were selected from the Kickers' annual tryout that took place in February. "We are all very happy for Clyde and think he will have an outstanding professional career ECU head men's soccer coach Michael Benn said. "He's playing for a great orga- nization In the Richmond Kickers and they certainly have a great player in Clyde Simms finished an impres- sive college career at East Caro- lina. Serving as captain for the Pirates for three straight seasons, Simms ended his career at ECU tied for fifth all-time in games played (72). He was recently named third- team All C-USA and earned his second consecutive All C-USA selection, the first being in 2002- 03. In his senior year, he started all 17 games, tallying four points with one goal and two assists. Simms has PD1. experience after playing with the Raleigh CASL Elite for two seasons (2002-2003). In 2003, he was the only player from Raleigh to he chosen to the PDL.AII Confer- ence Team (Eastern). He totaled 15 points with four goals and three assists over 30 games and 2,356 minutes. "Caleb and Clyde are two players that we have had our sights on said Richmond Kickers General Manager Paul Sterbenz. "Caleb is a versatile, hard working, attacking player that is proven on many different levels, and Clyde might be one of the most underrated rookies to come out of college this year. We believe that these two players have a great deal of potential and are excited to have them in our organization Mar. 24 (Wed.) - Mar. 26 (Fri.) 11 am - 4 pm Uptown Greenville � 516 South Cotanche St. 252-758-2616 A RTC7IRV E D OFFICIALLY LICENSED COLLEGE JEWELRY TO ORDER: 800-952-7002 Special Payment Plans Available "Officially Licensed East Carolina University Ring Supplier" 11 32404 rHL AST CAROLINIAN � SPORTS PAGE B6 Deacons' fan in tough position PHILADELPHIA (KKT) � At the thrilling NCAA tourney game neared its conclusion on Saturday, Kenneth C. Herbst could no longer contain him- self. "I got so excited, I stood up and started doing defensive slides the assistant professor ol food marketing at St. Joseph's said Monday, his voice still crackling with enthusiasm. "I'm sitting there yelling at the TV, sweating it out When the game ended, I lerhst felt a deep sense of pride and joy. His si hool had won and advanced to the Sweet 16. His school is Wake Forest. Ins hours after Wake Forest knocked off Manhattan, 84-80, St. Joseph's defeated Texas Tech to also move into the Sweet 16, setting up Thursday night's NCAA Fast Rutherford Regional matchup between the Hawks and lemon Deacons at Continental Airlines Arena. The winner will be one victory away from advancing to college basketball's grandest stage the Final Four. "My two worlds are collid- ing Herbst, 29, said from his home in Plymouth Meeting. "No way in hell did I ever imag- ine the two schools I love would be playing each other in such a big game Who could have ever imag- ined that a Wake Forest grad and former player, born and raised in Winston-Salem, N.C site of the Demon Deacons' campus, would end up teaching at St. Joe's, where he would develop a fondness for the Hawks and their coach, Phil Martelli? "This is tough Herbst said. "Really tough less up, Kenny, where does your allegiance lie? After taking a deep breath, he answered with a nervous laugh, "My entire life has been Wake Forest, Wake Forest. My heart is with the Deacs. But put it this way, if Wake has to lose, I'd rather it be to St. Joe's than any other school. And if St. Joe's wins, I'll be with them the rest of the way Before his colleagues or students take up torches and descend on his office at St. Joe's Hauh School of Business, Herbst, who joined the faculty in the fall "4 f '1 1 iV Wake Forest's Trent Strickland slips through the VCU defense. of 2002, would like to get a few matters straight: He is no fan-of Billy Packer, the CBS-TV hoops analyst and Wake Forest alum who trashed SI. Joe's on Selection Sunday when the Hawks were slotted as a No. 1 seed. Herbst said he long ago sensed a considerable number of Wake Forest followers share his feelings about Packer, who, by the way, will be calling Thursday's game. "18 Packer 38 listed even possible team he could think of, all big-time programs with brand-name equity Herbst said. "It was a special moment in St. Joe's history, and he's down- playing their accomplishments, embarrassing himself. "I mean, St. Joe's saw the bride coming down the aisle and they sas stand up or forever hold your peace. Within five sei - onds, Billy Packer decided to be the person to stand up " Herbst believes Packer has a large share of detractors from Wake Forest, where Packer played guard on the Deacons' 1962 Final Four team that defeated the Hawks in the tourney. The prior season, St. Joe's beat Wake Forest in the tourney. "I've listened to him do Wake games, and to me he even seems to be anti-Wake Herbst said. "Maybe it's because they never retired his number Martelli has brought recruits to meet Herbst "They often bring recruits to my office because I love St. Joe's and I can tell them why St. Joe's is such a great place to come because it's small and there's a family atmosphere. You get to know the faculty. You're taken care of. I really enjoy It he said. like St. Joe's, Wake is a small university, with an enrollment of 3,950, about 100 more than St. Joe's.
