GEB10 Volume 79 Number 131 M THE EAST CAROLINIAN tec WEDNESDAY SGA voting delayed Shannon O'Dor Faculty Senate questions the BOG's decision. Senate debates lack of funding for employee salaries Construction on new Health Sciences complex begins in May KRISTIN DAY STAFF WRITER Faculty members dissatisfied with university employees' salaries may take their complaints to state legislators. Chair of the Faculty Senate Rick Niswander said in Tuesday's meeting the UNC-system schools who asked for about $300 in tuition increase were let down March 19 when the Board of Governors passed a smaller amount that doesn't include fund- ing for SI'A salary increases. The increase passed goes to help reduce class size, increase the numbers of class sections offered, hire more permanent faculty and ensure competi- tiveness of faculty salaries. Niswander said this is the first time the BOG has micromanaged the tuition increase, and that may or may not be a good thing. "They restricted how the funds could be used overruling what campuses wanted to do said Niswander. The Faculty Senate chair told the senate they should talk to whatever legislators they knew and give some thought to finding "ammunition "The project wouldn't be like the SGA's 'Per- sonal Stories said Niswander, but faculty needs to collect something to give to legislators. Niswander said faculty should think about situations where a teacher left or rejected a job at F.CU because of salary or benefit concerns. Michael Lewis, vice chancellor for health sci- ences, discussed development of a new section of campus containing the School of Nursing, the School of Allied Health Science and a Health Sci- ence library. The project, funded by a state-issued bond, will occupy 3,000 square feet and have 950 park- ing spaces. Construction is scheduled to begin in May and finish in late Dec. 2005. Students and faculty can occupy the buildings in the summer of 2006. The need for new buildings arose due to a record enrollment in the School of Nursing. Lewis said the school now has 101'h.I), students and 145 students in the master's program. Senator Mark Sprague said he was concerned see SENATE page A2 Panel discusses positives, negatives of file sharing Issue complicated by university liability, fines LUKE SPENCER STAFF WRITER File sharing has become an increasing concern on college campuses, especially following the latest round of lawsuits against people at 21 universities filed by the Record- ing Industry Association of America. University administrators across the country are torn by their desire to protect the pri- vacy of their students, while at the same time complying with subpoenas legally requiring them to turn over data about student's computer usage. Administrators are also faced with the threat of lawsuits against the universities themselves which could result in enormous fines of up to $250,000 per downloaded item. This threat arose with the recent passage of the No Electronic Theft Act.

"There were problems with Tuesday's election said April Paul, SGA elections chair. "Someone got access to my information Paul has an administrative title that allows her to add and delete items from the OneStop voting page. She said a male student entered to vote at the College I lill polling site. After several minutes the male called Paul over to the computer where he was casting his vote. Paul said he logged onto her OneStop account and deleted the names, pictures and votes cast for four of the candidates in yesterday's elec- tion. She said the candidates deleted were Marcus "Wayne" Conner Jr Joseph Payne and Victoria Mclntosh from Picket Two. Shannon O'Donnell, presi- dential candidate on Ticket One, was also erased. "I do not know the nature of why these candidates were deleted. 1 am not sure if it was an attack on a ticket or not Paul said. Paul said in the confu- sion of what was happening, the perX?trator slipped away. Poll attendants are still trying to figure out who he is at this time. Information Technology Security has been contacted, but Paul said she does not believe it is necessary to con- tact the police.

ECU medical student receives fellowship, will travel to Africa A third-year medical student from ECU will spend more than three months this summer following his dream while working in the Gabon, Africa, hospital that humanitarian and physician Albert Schweitzer established. Ben Gilmer has been selected as North Carolina's only Albert Schweitzer LambarGne Fellowship recipient for 2004, and he is the first from the Brody School of Medicine to be selected. One University of Chicago, one Tufts University, and two Harvard University medi- cal students have also been chosen for this year's fellowship. Gilmer is only the second medical student from North Carolina to be selected for the l.am- barene Fellowship since its Inception in 1978. Gilmer's excitement about the opportunity can be seen on his face as he lights up describ- ing the hospital in Larnbarene and the need for health care for the people of Gabon. In Gabon, 50 percent of the population is HIV-posi- tive, and malaria is common. "The Schweitzer fellows are indoctri- nated into Schweitzer's philosophy - one that embraces a reverence for life. It's a great opportunity to learn medicine at the original Schweitzer hospital where one must learn to be dependent on their physical exam skills rather than CT scans and other technology available at U.S. medical centers said Gilmer. The Albert Schweitzer Fellowship selects four third-year medical students primarily from New England and the New York area to spend three months working as clinical fel- lows at the Albert Schweitzer Hospital. Fellows work as junior physicians, supervised by hospi- tal medical staff, and are eligible for rotations in pediatrics, medicine and surgery. The Albert Schweitzer Hospital, situated on the bank of the Ogooue River in a tropi- cal rain forest in western Gabon, has served as the primary health care source for the surrounding region since Schweitzer founded it in 1913. Today, an international staff of Gabonese and expatriate professionals provide skilled care through more than 35,000 outpatient visits and more than 6,000 hospltalizations annually for patients from all parts of Gabon, an independent republic with a population of approximately 1.3 million.

However, many viruses are sent in disguise. "The most common ones out there now they'll spoof the originating e-mail address said llallock. Some variations of the Beagle worm spoof the sender's name.

The Welchia worm is also spreading rapidly through campus computers. This malware has the ability to delete files and may attempt to download other programs. Adam Thomas, junior acting major, is frustrated and inconvenienced by his malware-infected computer. lucier said the Trojan viruses have been around for a while, but remain a serious problem. He said the most dangerous viruses contain what is known as a "backdoor which could allow people to illegally traffic software using the infected computer. Lucier and llallock said stu- dents need an updated anti-virus program to protect their comput- ers. Students without anti-virus software can bring a recordable CD to the Austin computer lab, where they can receive a free copy the Symantec Anti-virus Software. Another way to ensure computer safety is setting up a firewall. These programs are relatively new, but they check everything that enters your computer. ECU already has a system to protect from malware in campus mail.

NC (AP) - Appalachian State University students have agreed to higher fees to help the school piy for a conversion to more environmentally friendly energy sources The $10 a year fee would stay in place for three years and is expected to generate about $390,000. It couldn't be applied before the 2005- 06 school year.

Texas (AP) - A motorist injured in a crash lay paralyzed in the middle of a freeway with a broken neck for 36 hours before he was rescued. Ed Theisen's body was blocked from view by Gulf Freeway traffic barricades in this Houston suburb. The 46-year-old survived a night alone on the concrete, unable to move or summon help. "Someone riding in the back of a pickup truck spotted him and called police said Debora Rodeffer-Theisen, his wife, Monday after her husband emerged from surgery. "The officer poked him with a nightstick thinking he was a dead body, but he was there and he was very much alive Worried that he had been carjacked, Theisen's wife drove past the area twice He was on his side, staring at a concrete wall, his shouts inaudible to passing traffic. Doctors later determined that Theisen had broken his neck and suffered a spinal cord injury.

World Annan fires U.N. security chief over Iraq failures UNITED NATIONS (AP) - In a stinging rebuke, Secretary-General Kofi Annan said senior UN. staff ignored the security threats in Iraq before Ihe Aug. 19 bombing of its headquarters in Baghdad that killed 22 people. He fired one top official and demoted another. Annan chastised his highly respected deputy. Louise Frechette, who chaired a steering group on Iraq when the United Nations decided last May that UN staff could go back into the country after the US-led war. She submitted her resignation but Annan refused to accept it, U.N. spokesman Fred Eckhard said. The action Monday appeared to be unprecedented at the United Nations, where senior leaders are almost never rebuked so publicly Annan also singled out two lower-level U.N. administrators at the U.Ns Baghdad headquarters in the Canal Hotel. Police arrest eight terror suspects and seize fertilizer in London-area raids LONDON (AP) - Police arrested eight men Tuesday and seized half a ton of ammonium nitrate, a fertilizer that can be used to make bombs, in anti-tenor raids in and near London, the capital's Metropolitan Police force said. All the suspects were British and were arrested as part of an operation targeting alleged international terrorist activity, Deputy Assistant Commissioner Peter Clarke said He added that the operation was not connected to the Madrid train bombs earlier this month or Irish republican terrorism Nothing fishy about sushi thievery Japanese delicacy stolen from Galley JOSH SLONE STAFF WRITER One of the highest-price items in the Galley is gaining popu larit y, but not t he sort ma n - agers hope for. Someone was recently reported to the ECU Police for allegedly stealing sushi. Sushi, a tasty Japanese treat, is quite expensive for campus dining fare, with prices ranging from $2.60 to $8.95. Its high price may be one of the reasons the thief targeted it. The sushi thief was reported to l.akeisha Williams, a Galley cashier, by other students who witnessed the suspect stealing the sushi, said Suzanne Bird, manager of the Galley. A brief description of the thieving student was given to Williams, and she called the ECU Police. The police report said the individual placed the food in a bag and left without paying for it. The larcenist remains unidentified. Food theft is a common occurrence around campus, but any business experiences theft, said Allison Metcalf, Aramark Marketing program manager. "Theft occurs everywhere Metcalf said. Even with the threat of being caught, theft continues to remain a problem at all the campus eateries. An incident also recently occurred at The Spot at Mendenhall. An unknown subject was reported to the ECU Police for stealing two 20 ounce hot ties of Pepsi, fourpacks of chewing gum and a piece of a candy. "Stealing food from campus eateries is easy said one student, who asked to remain anonymous. "I do it all the time and haven't been caught once The student said remorse was not an issue. "Most of the food is overpriced anyway, and I've already run out of decline Mozzarella sticks from The Galley costs $3.99, which the student said is ridiculous. Though this particular student may have never been caught, Met- calf said there are cameras and mirrors at many of ECU's dining loca- tions. The dining staff and man- agers on duty also monitor cus- tomer activity in an attempt to prevent any possible food thell from occurring. "It's important to realize that it is illegal, and there arc consequences Metcalf said. This writer can be contacted at news@theeastcarolinian.com.

A3 Massachusetts' lawmakers give first approval to gay marriage ban, civil union compromise llMCmw Aln UiUL m i, � -�� BOSTON (AC) - With one chapter closed in Massachusetts' gay marriage debate, several new ones now open, as gay couples look ahead to what may be a short-lived chance to tie the Mini and lawmakers prepare for crucial November elections. I egislators approved a con- stitutional amendment Monday that would ban gay marriages while legalizing civil unions. If passed during the next two- year legislative session, the measure would go before voters in November 2006. Hie move comes even as the nation's first state-sanctioned gay marriages are scheduled to begin in mid-May, as ordered by ,i November ruling of the state's Supreme judicial Court. Attention now turns to the fall elections, when lawmakers will have to defend their votes mi the contentious social issue and fend off attempts to change the makeup of the legislature. All 200 legislative seats are up tor grabs in November, and the amendment was approved Monday with only four votes to spare. It now becomes critical for opponents of gay marriage to ensure the re-election of their allies this fall. Within moments of the historic vote, Gov. Mitt Romney told reporters he would ask the state's highest court to block gay marriages until the amend- ment process has run its lengthy course. "(liven the conflict, I believe the Supreme Judicial Court should delay the imposition of its decision until the people have a chance to be heard said Romney, a Republican in his first term. "If we begin providing for same-sex marriages on May 17 he said, "we will have created a good deal of confusion during the period in between - for the couples involved, for our state, for other states where couples may have moved and for the children of these families But Attorney General Tom Reilly, who represents the state in court, said he would not seek to delay the May 17 deadline on Romney's behalf. Without court action, Monday's decision will not affect the deadline. "It was very clear to me as attorney general that the major- ity of the Supreme Judicial Court have made up their minds said Reilly, considered a possible Democratic candidate for gover- nor in 2006. "Do I agree with their decision? No. Absolutely not. But that is the law of the state Gay-rights advocates felt little joy in seeing a proposed amendment include civil-union rights. They'd already witnessed the state's highest court award full marriage rights only to see lawmakers try to water it down. "I believe many of them are going to feel very ashamed of what they've just done today said Arline Isaacson, co-leader of the Massachusetts Gay and Lesbian Political Caucus. But conservatives also weren't quick to embrace the compromise amendment, call- ing it blackmail to force citizens to approve civi I unions as part of a marriage ban. "We are giving the people a false choice said Rep. Vinny deMacedo, a Republican. "We're saying, 'No problem. File from page A1 suits, they have said they will not be satisfied until they have taken away some student's par- ents house Harrison said. The issue is already affecting K( IU students in a serious way. Judicial actions are increas- ing against students reported for illegal downloading. "More than 100 students this semester have devel- oped judicial records due to illegal downloading said Mary Louise Anticau, director of the Office of Student Conflict Reso- lution. Students were divided on the issue and expressed their opinions about the size of tines against downlbaders and the new legal methods used to gain access to downloaders' identities, "Constitutionally, the steps the R1AA is taking to unmask people whose only crime is want- ing to hear good music without paying for a bunch of songs they don't like are appalling said Kyle Radack, sophomore chem- istry major. Other students were more in line with the thinking of the R1AA. "We must take a preemptive approach to computer security and copyright protection said Gary Whitmore Jr freshman computer science major. "We cannot afford to wait for our networks to be exploited or our intellectual property stolen This writer can be contacted at news@theeastcarolinian.com. Massachusetts approved a constitutional amendment Monday banning gay marriages and legalizing civil unions. you can vote to define marriage as between a man and a woman, but the only way you can do it is if you create civil unions that are entirely the same as marriage The constitutional conven- tion took place in front of thou- sands of citizens, who crowded the Statehouse each day to watch from the gallery and protest in the hallways. After each intonation of "Jesus" by gay rights opponents inside the building Monday, gay rights advocates tacked on "loves us The two opposing sides then shouted "Jesus Christ and "equal rights simultaneously, blending into a single, indistin- guishable chant. The debate in Massachusetts has unfolded in the national spotlight, continuing to move forward as mayors across the country permitted unsanc- tioned gay weddings in their cities. Virus from page A1 Computer users should In- aware of signs pointing to a pos- sible malware infection. Anti-virus programs will inform a user of malware if the software is updated as recent as the virus. Users might also receive an e-mail from someone their computer has infected. On campus, people have noticed their computer work- ing by itself - evident by a whirring noise coming from the CPU. The computer is probably infected if the noise stops as soon as it is disconnected to the Internet. Campus residents need to call the help desk as soon as they suspect they have a virus. If anti-virus software shows malware, the help desk needs to know everything the software finds. In some cases, the help desk will be able to talk a user through saving the system. Computer Manager David Stambaugh said if the computer is still under warranty, it could betaken back to the store it came from, where it should be fixed for free.

The only member of the Bush administration's security advisers who will be questioned by the independent commission in the investiga- tion the Sept. 11 attacks publicly, under oath is security adviser Condoleezza Rice. Why her and no other? We think there should be more public inter- views of persons with specific knowledge about the events leading up to the terrorist attacks and the events that followed. The only way to fully understand whether the Bush administration was negligent in han- dling this situation is with complete insight to the information they received, and therefore all security advisers should be interviewed. Rice isn't the only security adviser to the cur- rent administration. Is information being with held or construed because of this cut off? Some say Bush's agreement to allow the commission to interview Rice -after first prohibiting it - is just a ploy to gain votes in the upcoming election In a recent article on the CNN Web site, Bush said that "a president and his advisers, including his adviser for national security affairs, must be able to communicate freely and privately without being compelled to reveal those communications to the legisla- tive branch" If this is what Bush thinks, why allow only one adviser to speak for all of the advisers? By limiting who is interviewed, the administra- tion still controls what information is released to the public. The questioning will be ineffective until all advisers are allowed to speak.

In My Opinion Ugly improvements don't improve ECU Campus developers need aesthetics lessons HOLLY O'NEAL ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR From the mountains to the toast, North Carolina has some of the most scenic views in the world. A mixture of modern civilization and ancient environment present visitors and Inhabitants with end- less permutations of beauty, Which is why ECU'S campus, overflowing with uninspiring, brick buildings and herelt of significant foliage, disappoints the eyes so. It's understandable that a university, as a perpetual work-in- progress, should have some disconti- nuities in design. ()ld buildings need u)grades, entirely new buildingsare built, more parking spaces must be carved from diminishing property, and somehow, the whole puzzle h.is to fit together When creating a setting Intended to serve as a habitat and workspace, pragmatism shouldn't always dictate outcome. Environ- ment has a direct connection to human well-being - to ignore this principle is to welcome the insanity accompanying sensory deprivation. I'reserving the landscape's inher- ent qualities while accommodating the population should be of concern for university designers.i'ht'benefits are real: A well-designed campus gives its community pride and attracts the respect of outsiders. Hut at ECU, the scenic situation looks dreadful and continues to worsen. Illustrations of the much-antici- pated West Knd Dining Hall predict a sharp-COrnered, open-spaced caf- eteria. Alone, the structure looks promising. However, situated nearly on top of three residence halls anil the edge of downtown, the finished pnxluct promises to be an eyesore In an area already overcrowded wiiii discordant development I used to make a Special detour on my way downtown from the West Neighborhood -a few extra min- utes was a reasonable exchange to walk between comforting branches and under large green leaves. You ian'l walk this way anymore, though. The path was sacrificed lor the cafeteria's land needs. Certain areas are oases from the design desert, the mall offers shaded play space and criss-crossing sidewalks leading to a historic cupola; the lawn in front of ( otton, Fleming and Jarvis Halls houses old trees and piush grass; when functioning, the fountain in front of Wright Place is soothing and stately. But the ground is being eaten away by bulldozers, and we're slowly being overrun with incon- gruous industrial replacements. Will we offer more of our area's natural splendor for unrewarding and out-of-place compromises? College Hill, the newest resi- dential development, screams of desolation. Parking spaces dominate the landscape topped with nondescript dorms. From the Hill's appearance, it looks as if the college is set in the middle of an urban metro rather than a medium-sized southern city. Since I'm not familiar with Greenville before the establish- ment of ECU, I don't know how exactly the land it occupies once appeared. And that's part of the problem - part of a place's present lies in its past, and how the past is treated shapes that place's tuture. These new developments are an attempt to make our campus look like a generic twenty-first century college, not a specific university in a specific city in eastern North Carolina. If there's nothing that can Ik done to salvage what's already been lost, the campus population needs to learn how to balance growth with preservation. The improvement would le like the warm weather we had last week - making it easier to walk to class or work and connect to one another with an apprecia- tive smile In My Opinion Spain rocked by terrorist bombings US rail security being scrutinized "I'm an honest man Jose Luis Zapatero Spain's Prime Minister-elect PETER KALAJIAN STAFF WRITER As Americans, we have been brought up to expect a certain level of security from the federal government. After the shock of 911, the American people joined together In their collective outcry for an explanation. How could this happen? Don't airports have security for this sort of thing? Are other sectors of American Interest at risk? First of all, the answer to that question is yes, and therein lies the contradiction. The very nature of the Ameri- can character and the continent on which we live endanger the security of the United States, and no Congressional decree or outlandish federal spending plan will change that. The concept of effectively patrolling the borders that the continental United States shares with Mexico, Canada (the longest national border in the world) and the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans is financially and practically impossible. Bush and Kerry can prom- ise massive Homeland security spending increases and assure the American public that they are safe, but that's just politics. There is a finite level of security which it is feasible to maintain and beyond that the benefits no longer justify the cost. If a person desires entry unto the United States with enough pas- sion and dedicationhere they come. Americans will just have to learn to adjust to the reality that being American and living in America no longer fully insulate us from the ugliness of the world. We now trade our freedom for the threat of terror. My greatest fear, since that pivotal day in Sept. 2001, has been that of the suicide bomber. Israel is a modern, Westernized, post-industrial nation and has thus far been unable to protect itself from the constant threat of dedicated individuals wearing explosive belts. I believe American suicide bombings not to be a matter of if only when. The infrastructure of our highways, porous nature of our borders and trusting nature of our citizens make suicide bombing an indefensible threat and a threat that should be prepared for. Two weeks ago, in the span of just over a half hour, 10 individual bombs detonated on separate commuter trains all over Madrid, Spain. There had been little prepara- tion for such a calculated attack and over 190 people lost their lives. Though not on the same scale as Sept. 11, the bombings were the worst in Spain's history and demonstrate a willingness on the part of international ter- rorists to exploit the inherent weakness of an national rail network. While a Basque separat- ist group is the prime suspect, many connections are being made to Osama bin l.aden's Al Qaeda network. Perhaps Spain is now paying 1 K 1 Jm afl 9 � the price for supporting the United States in the invasion of Iraq. The United States is no less vulnerable. With over 40,000 miles of working rail lines and millions of riders each day, there is absolutely no way to protect against an organized terrorist attack, especially on inner city metro lines. While the possibility of implementing some sort of screening process for riders on commuter rail lines is realistic, such a process would bring the New York or I.os Angeles Subway systems to a grinding halt. Surely, you say, there must be ways of ensuring our secu- rity? Indeed, but such methods would drastically impinge on the freedoms and liberties on which most Americans so wholeheartedly insist. The Army and Marine Corps could be stationed along our borders with Canada and Mexico and the U.S Navy used to expel illegal immigrant on the seas, but that's not America. The institutions of the military in this country were intended from day one not to be used as an instrument for govern- mental tyranny. Thus, we have the Coast Guard and Dept. of Border Patrol. Unfortunately, the first steps toward governmental annulment of our Constitutional rights have already been taken by Congress with their overwhelming approval of the Patriot Act in 2002. The American public must realize that our government is fundamentally incapable of providing us with complete security, therefore the onus of responsibility falls on to the shoulders of the citizenry of America. If you see suspicious behavior, don't expect some government agent to see it and report it, report it yourself. Be conscien- tious of the government and ask questions. As the inhabitants of this country and recipients of her privileges, the problem of security belongs to everyone. No amount of government spending (or overspending) or political ranting will guarantee the safety of the American public. This is a fact which should be accepted and understood as fun- damental to our society. There is no way around it. This is the world which we have created for ourselves. As the presidential race gains momentum, both candidates will bemilking the subject of national security for all It's worth, and no doubt proposing budget increases and drastic new measures to ensure our security. I just hope you won't be fooled. PAGEA5 o.oi Q4 Property Management 756-6209.

With so many selections, it can be hard to choose between the newest trends, but the vari- ety can help you find the best suit for your body type. This year's newest styles include retro flashbacks with rugged denim and cor- duroy and utility accessories like belts, straps and buckles. Look for military- influenced camouflage prints for both girls and guys. Bright colors and island prints are also very popular from designers, with large floral patterns and neon hues. The 1940s starlet look is back, with updated halters and hip riders in clean black- and-white or red-and-white patterns. "I love halter tops with boy shorts said Krystal Ambrose, sophomore nursing major. I'un checks, gingham prints, and polka dots give these classic suits a new twist for summer 2004, adding buttons and bows for extra detail. A continued favorite is the tankini - a modest version of the bikini that provides coverage for the stomach area but allows more flexibility than a one-piece. Tankinis come in a variety of styles and patterns, and some companies have "mix and match" swimsuits that provide a unique look. These can also be great if you don't fit into one particular size and need different sizes for the top and bottom. Great variations include the handkerchief or triangle top with a flap of mate- rial for the stomach and lies for the back. The bandeau top is still a popular choice for people concerned about shoulder tan lines and wanting the perfect look for strapless dresses. This style is best for girls who don't need extra support and aren't looking to be very active in the water. Bandeau tops can be found in bikinis, tankinis and one-pieces. Though skirted swimsuits might often be asso- ciated with grandmas, there are lots of updated see SUITS page B2 If your body type is an hourglass, you have broad shoulders, large bust, tiny waist and wide hips Look for tankinis or bandeau tops with straps and high-cut or string-tie bottoms. 44 If your body type is a strawberry, you have broad shoulders, large bust, narrow hips and a small butt.

Terrific tips for applying self-tanning lotion (KKT) � It's spring, and a pasty woman's fancy turns to thoughts of legs. Off with the tights, on with the skirts and sandals - but what do you do about that winter-white scary skin? A little self-tanner seems like the solution. The market is swamped and saturated with sunless tanners of various price points and formulas. Which to pick? Also, how do you ensure you'll look bronzed, not bruised? Having made endless errors In the beginning, here are 10 tips from a (now) self-tan fan: 1. Hirst, get rid of the dead skin. Use a product that gently scrubs, and be sure to dry thoroughly after showering. 2. Wear disposable gloves when applying the tanner to keep your palms and nails from staining. I got mine at Home Depot In the paint department. 3. Have an old robe or towel on hand. You'll need to wear something you don't care about in the hour(s) the tanner is drying. 4. Have a good friend on hand. You'll need help with your back and other hard-lo-reach areas. 5. Pay attention throughout the process. Touch your face by accident, and you've got two weeks of explanations ahead of you. 6. Lotions are easier to work with than sprays because you have a better Idea of exactly where you're applying the product. 7. Choose a product that goes on with a hint of color so you can see what you're doing. H.llzabeth Arden's Quick-Spray Oil-Free Self-Tanner went on clear, and 1 clearly erred in thinking I'd applied it evenly. Read the product label care- fully and be sure the formula is tinted. 8. Use a quarter-sized dollop or less to cover lower leg, and the same amount for the thigh. Use excess lotion to cover the knee and foot. These areas darken more easily, so use tanner sparingly. When in doubt, use less. 9. Use sparingly on insides of arms and underarms. An all-over, perfectly even tan will give a Malibu Barbie plastic look. 10. More-expensive tanners are not necessarily better than those found in the grocery store. Pretest your product on a portion of your skin well before you take it public. The two I liked best for my skin were Neutrogena Instant Bronze and Bain de Solell Radi- ance H.ternelle, both about $10 at the drugstore. One application will last about I -2 weeks. Save yourself a trip to the tanning booth by purchasing self-tanning products.

Though it may leel like there is too much leg showing, high-cut bottoms actually lengthen the thighs and give the illusion of longer legs.

If you are well endowed on top, look to halter tops and swimsuits with lots of support and under wires, lops need to fit properly and provide lots of coverage, so you should make sure that you are not "fallingout" where you shouldn't be. Though it's nice to be able to show cleav- age, there can be too much of a good thing. For those who are small on top, find something that provides a little extra padding or has structure to give shape Triangle bikini tops are easy to wear, but get a friend's opinion to make sure you don't have a "pre-puDescent" image.

Many companies use their internship programs to strengthen their recruitment efforts. Working with interns gives them the chance to test motivated, ambitious students before hiring them. If the intern works to their fullest potential, the company may make a permanent job offer. It is also an advantage to do several internships. Fry out different fields, positions or departments. (Jetting a taste of a variety of positions can also give you an idea of what you are not interested in doing. Although it is a great learning experience, it may not always be the most pleasant of jobs. Many internships are unpaid. Even if you're working for free, your internship can be worth a fortune in job experience and valuable career connections. It's up to you to see that your efforts pay off.

Baldwin-Tener got the Lady Pirates out of the gates quickly. The ECU Board of Trustees approved contract extensions for men's basketball coach Kill Herrion and women's basketball coach Sharon Baldwin-Tener on Friday, which will boost both's association with ECU through the 2007-08 season. Herrlon'S contract was extended one year through April 1, 2008. Baldwin-Tener received a two-year extension through the same clay and her annual salary was ln teased from $90,000 to $100,000. Herrion just completed his litth season at ECU after taking over the reins of the Pirate basket- ball program prior to the 1999- 2000campaign, making him the longest tenured coach here since Charlie Harrison, who was the coach for five years during the mid 1980s. During his five years at the helm Of the men's basketball program, Herrion has brought a renewed sense of enthusiasm and pride to ECU basketball. Attendance at ECU home games has increased by more than 1,300 fans per game since the year prior to his arrival, while single-season and single-game attendance records have been shattered. Last season, Herrion con- tinued to mold his Pirates into a Conference-USA contender. I( U improved its league mark by two games from the previous season and finished 11th in the fitth toughest basketball confer- ence in the nation. Herrion lias compiled a 61- 79 record In five seasons at F,CU. During his 13 years as a collegiate Head Coach, he has built a mark of 228-150 (.603), ranking him among the victorious active coaches in the country. Baldwin-Tener has reversed the fortunes of the women's basketball program in two short years. ECU only won six games the season prior to her arrival. Under her direction, ECU has increased its win total trom the previous season each year. In her first season, Baldwin-Tener doubled the team's victories from the year before and then won an additional two games this season. She has guided the Lady Pirates to the postseason con- ference tournament each of the past two years after they failed to qualify the year before she took over. During her two seasons, she has compiled a 26-30 record at ECU and has built a 95-57 record in six years as a head coach. Early NIT win predicts SET success for Ga.

"I know for a fact that we've lost Minn tec ruits over the last couple of years because people- were saying Georgia Tech wouldn't heat Duke or North arollna or be one of the top teams said Hewitt.

Spring Fling 2004 played without a hitch ERIC GILMORE STAFF WRITER The women's club soccer team failed to reach the semitinals at last weekend's Spring Ding 2004. The Lady Pirates lost two games and won one but did not advance in the tournament. Clemson won the entire tournament which included six teams. On Friday night, the women lost a heart- breaker to Florida, 1-0. The women fought the Gators evenly the entire match. However, due to confusion among the ref- erees, extra time was added to the game. That extra time proved to be costly as Florida netted a goal with less than two minutes remaining to spell defeat for F.CU. Saturday proved to be a day f u II of soccer as all the teams played two games each. The women started off with Clemson at 10a.m. and played well in the first half. The score was deadlocked at intermission. The Tigers proved to be too much as they scored on a breakdown in the ECU defense. Clemson would add two more goals to make it .3-0 to hand ECU its second loss of the tournament. "We knew that Clemson had lost their first morning game, and we did not play our game against them. They were able to put them in the net and we were not said Ashley Alcorn, fresh- man midfielder. In other Saturday action, James Madison defeated Clemson 6-1. The University of Florida got their second shutout when they downed NC State 2-0. The College of Charleston beat James Madi- son 1-0 in a hard fought battle. NC State continued to struggle as they could not keep up with Clemson. The Tigers took the victory 3-0. In James Madison's third game of the day, the Dukes withheld a late Tiger run to beat Clemson 2-1. The ECU women played their third game of the clay late Satur- day afternoon against the College of Charleston. ECU, sporting more rest than the Cougars, who played in back-to-back games, used their advantage to wither down their tired opponents. The game was played evenly after a 45-minute delay due to a passing thunderstorm. After play resumed, the Lady Pirates took control as F.CU scored two quick goals to surge ahead. The Cougars scored on a late ensuing penalty kick, but efforts failed as the ECU women won 2-1.

PAGE B5 THE EAST CAROLINIAN � SPORT ECU men's soccer opens 1-0-1 The ECU men's soccer team opened their spring season this past weekend at Methodist Col- lege's Cup of Life Tournament. In their first match, the Pirates defeated Francis Marion 2-1 and tied the defending US Pro League Select National Champion Wilm- ington Hammerheads 1-1. Freshman Chris Mobley stole a pass from Francis Marion and struck a well-placed ball past the goalkeeper to give the Pirates an early 1-0 lead. It remained 1- 0 until shortly after halftime when freshman Calvin Simon split two defenders, then beat another before slipping the ball past a diving keeper to put ECU up 2-0. Francis Marion was able to pull a goal back in the closing minutes for the 2-1 final. "It was a good effort for our first game of the spring said ECU Head Men's Soccer Michael Benn. "We had a game cancelled before Spring llreak, so the boys were excited and anxious to play someone else. We were a bit sloppy at times, but that is to be expected our first time out. We certainly deserved the result In the second match, the Pirates took on the Hammer- heads for the. second year in a row. Last spring, the Hammer- heads defeated the Pirates 4-2. The score was 0-0 until senior Perron Amos headed home a service from fellow senior Reed Avren with IS minutes to go in the match. Wilmington was able to knot the score at 1-1 with just five minutes remaining. "I thought we played an out- standing gameagainst a very good professional team Benn said. "We were a bit unlucky not to come away with the win. Our commitment to getting pressure to the ball was outstanding. It was easily one of our finest defensive performances in my time here at ECU. We should take a lot of confidence from this performance "We had a lot of very strong efforts from our boys. I'm encour- aged that we were able to score first in each match. That is something that 1 think we learned was impor- tant from the fall Benn said. "Playing two matches in one day is difficult but we responded well to the challenge. There are some things we still need to work on, but the coaching staff is very happy with our performance this weekend Lady Pirate golf finishes 15th mk Final Standings ATHENS, GA. � The ECU women's golf team recorded a KSth-place finish at the Li7 Mur- phey Collegiate Classic with a 54 - hole total of 927 (301-310-316).

You'll have the opportunity to practice nursing in as many as 20 different fields in a variety of nursing environments.

Redick from the men's squad a few weeks ago. Mulling over their respective NCAA tournaments, the two had the following exchange: Tillis: "Oh my God, what would this campus be like if we both won the national champi- onship?" Redkk: "They'd shut down classes for a week. We'd cel- ebrate first, and then you guys would come home and they'd be celebrating again Tillis: "All right Everyone is familiar with Duke's men. The success of the women's program began 12 years ago, when a woman with � a name almost as unpronounce- ' able as that of men's coach Mike Krzywwski looked at the dynasty he had built and started copying. "When I came here, I felt like you could see how successful our men's program was, and I thought, 'Why can't we do the same thing?" said Gail Goestenkors. "So I think success breeds success, and we see the men every day and how they prac- tice and how hard they work and what their expectations are. And we have those same expectations. And I don't know why you wouldn't Goestenkors (pronounced Guest-en-coors) now counters Coach K with Coach G. Her team went into Tuesday's NCAA Mid- east Regional finals in Norfolk's led Constant Center looking for its first national championship, the next step in her program- building effort. The Blue Devils will faced seventh-seeded Min- nesota with a trip to the Final Four on the line. In 1992, Goestenkors became the third coach in Duke women's basketball history, which dated to 1975 and included one NCAA tournament appearance. After going 12-15 and 16-11 in her first two years, Goes- tenkors' team is on Its 10th consecutive trip to the NCAA tournament. The Blue Devils have reached the Final Four in three of the last five years, and they're a No. 1 seed for the fourth consecutive season. The more her teams win, the more top high school play- ers want to play for her. Ten of Duke's 13 players were high school Ail-Americans. For all of their individual exploits, Duke's Iciss Tillis, left, and Alana Beard celebrate their win Goestenkors recruits players who understand the team con- cept. "The key for us is to recruit players that are not selfish Goestenkors said. "If they focus more on their individual goals, then they're not going to be happy here and then they leave. "So I think we've been very fortunate to find a group that meshes together, that understands our common goal is to win the national championship. And they may not score as many points as they would like or get as many min- utes, but they can accomplish their ultimate goal, which is a national championship. "We talk about roles quite a bit and how important every- body's role is to the success of the team She also has worked on physi- cal and mental toughness. Tired of watching University of North Carolina teams pummel her players all over the court, Goestenkors enlisted some help 10 years ago. She brought in male practice players. "Probably that first year we got beat every time we scrim- maged the guys Goestenkors said. "But we got better. And we just progressed from there. And now they'll beat us on occasion, but for the most part we will not let them beat us. And It's made us so much tougher meritally and physically. "And 1 think to be success- ful at this level, you need that, because the very best teams all practice against guys and it shows in the big games Goestenkors relishes NCAA tournament time, and she remains consistently friendly and down-to-earth, even as the pressure mounts. Rather than breaking down video 24 hours a day, seven days a week, she takes time to go out for a post game meal with her husband and coaching staff or to thank the team's many fans. "It's really exciting. It's also more stressful because you're constantly watching film and looking at potential future oppo- nents Goestenkors said. "You've got to keep your sights on the here and now, but you want to prepare for the potential future Duke has reached seven con- secutive Sweet 16s, losing in the national championship game in 1999 and the semifinals the past two seasons. A veteran group leads the campaign for a first national title. "We've been to the Final Four two years, and if that doesn't bring hunger, I don't know that there's anything I can say said three-time ACC Player of the Year Alana Beard, explaining why she had no fiery pre-game words last weekend. Goestenkors points out that five consecutive ACC championships shouldn't be forgotten. Her three seniors are making the final NCAA run of their careers with urgency, but she cautions against for- getting everything that's been accomplished. wofUM MAJO merit $36,000 WWW. fit, i TnwOMttAi ti9t ECU Stud PUmrinftmolallah H�w6rk (SPAN) BRASS WOOi AND WHITEBRIDGE APARTMENTS IJr.md tfr.isswooc ?Y FREE HIGH SPFFD WIREI FSS INTFRNET sfrvipf QUIET � PROMPT MAINTENANCE � SMALL PET WITH FEE ALL NEW TENANTS WHO SIGN UP IN march q ENTER THE PRAWING TO WIN A NEW tompi mm CkWVALUE11 GREAT SERVICE LAW ENFORCEMENT DISCOUNTS PHONE: 355-4499 www.brasswood.com � brasswoodearthlink.net ILLUMINA04 STUDENT ART COMPETITION PA f FOR ENTRIES VH I i I i DROP OFF WORK FRIDAY, APRIL 2nd 3T D M AT MKNOENHALL " m I Igreat rooms $ PRIZES $ BEST IN SHOW $300 1ST PLACE $200 2ND PLACE $100 (HONORABU MBNTION W0 IN AIX t CATKIOIUa�) ENTRY FEE IS $5.00 (LIMIT 3 ENTRIES PER PERSON) ENTRY FORMS ARE AVAILABLE AT MENDENHALL STUDENT CENTER CATEGORIES FOUNDATIONS, DRAWING, CA, PAINTING, CERAMICS, METALS, PRINTMAKING, TEXTILES, SCULPTUREiiliiiiililiSiiiHi 9pofftwr�d by Vinul Arts Commlttot '0
