Roads top city residents' concerns Results from survey by ECU professor, students HOLLY O'NEAL ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR Information obtained by ECU students about Greenville residents' opinions of the city's quality of life was presented to city officials Monday night. Ken Wilson, Ph.D sociology professor, relayed the results of a student-powered survey to the Cireenville City Council. The survey was commissioned by the council to judge whether voters would supxrl a Ixind referendum that would fund road construc- tion, downtown redevelopment, a 45-block revitalization plan and improvements in storm drainage. The random sample survey of 185 voters asked participants what the most important city issue is and whether or not they would support related projects. Efforts to develop Greenville's roads were deemed the most important, and 82 percent of respondents said they would support measures toward that goal. According to the survey, the 45-block revitalization project in West Greenville and downtown redevelopment ranked second and third, respectively. The topics switched in order of support, with 80 percent in favor of downtown improvements and 65 percent supporting the revitalization. Wilson said the surveying gave his students an opportunity to measure real, important issues. However, he told the council the results were only a foundation. "We're taking a snapshot here - what we're showing now is what people think today said Wilson. 1 just don't get the feeling from the interviews that it's rock solid To pay for the bonds, which could reach a vote in November, the council may be forced to raise property taxes. About one-fourth surveyed said 'no' to all property taxes, while three-fourths said 'yes though taxes raised above 7 cents had little backing. Greenville Mayor Don Parrott said the survey's information was "very valuable Comparing it to a 1990 survey, he noted Greenville residents had changed their pri- orities. Kight percent said public rec- reation was a concern then, con- Council members listen to results of citizens' opinion poll. trasted to 85 percent supporting the issue in 2004. In a separate presenta- tion to the council, Chair of the Greenville Chamber of Commerce Henry llinton requested $50,000 to bring the eastern regional high school basketball and football games. The cost would fund schools' traveling and related expenses. "frankly, from a visitor's standpoint, sports is who we are said Hinton. llinton presented results of a survey conducted by a UNC- Chapel Hill professor measuring the economic impact of two football games on a city. Revenue totaled $355,000. llinton said hosting the high school competitions could lead to bigger things for Greenville athletics. "We've got to crawl before we walk, walk before we run llinton said. llinton proposed the creation of a sports authority, similar to �those in Raleigh and Hickory, to report to the City Council and procure similar opportunities for Cireenville, recently named Spoits Utustmted'i Sportstown of see COUNCIL page A2 New executive board focuses on accountability, student involvement LUKE SPENCER STAFF WRITER Rather than relaxing after the grueling campaign pro- cess and an election victory, all four members of Ticket One are excited to begin laying the groundwork for what they hope will be an active and responsive administration come fall. "We were all just really excited said President-elect Shannon O'Donnell. "Elections are never easy on any level, but we had a lot of help with our campaign, and I would just like to say'thank you'to everyone who made t his possible The elected executives put their campaign promise at the front of their agenda. "We believe that accountabil- ity is most important said Secre- tary-elect Jackie Lambertsen. "We want to keep students informed so they can become more active in campus issues that affect all of us Members of Ticket One said they hope to increase stu- dent involvement in the Student Government Associa- tion by attracting "new blood" to campus politics. They said they plan to accept resumes and have open interviews for their cabinet positions, instead of appointing acquaintances. "We want to send the message that this is student gov- ernment, and if you aren't here for the students, if you're here to pad your resume, to climb the 'SGA cotriomtf ladder whatever, your services will no longer lie needed O'Donnell said. Ticket One is currently plan- ning to implement several new items to improve the quality of students' experience. They plan to speed up SGA funding requests for campus organizations by start- ing online requests, which they hope will take days to process, instead of weeks. They are developing a rela- tionship with the Web site, www.pickaprof.com, which they hope will allow students to accurately judge the quality of potential instructors based on their peers' comments. "Once these online programs are up and running, students and organizations will get faster and higher quality service from SGA said Treasurer-elect Brad G reaver.

Greenville begins changing water purification method City will switch from chloramines to chlorine LATOVA D. TONEY STAFF WRITER Greenville's water supply will undergo a few changes this month to ensure quality. Greenville Utilities began changing the purification method ol city water to chlorine usage rather than chloramines Sunday, but the process is not due to be finished until May 2. "People shouldn't be alarmed about the changes said Barret Lasater, plant manager of Water Resources Department for Greenville Utilities. "This Upart of a normal pro- cess in maintaining our system and to make sure that we supply safe drinking water to the cus- tomers Then may lea slight change in the taste and color of the water. It may have a bit of a chlorine taste to it, but it is safe for drinking, bath- ing, cooking and everyday use. If there is discoloration in the water, allowing the bathtub faucet to run for 5-10 minutes should clear up the problem. Lasater said the only people who need to take precau- tions are those who are on the kidney dialysis machines and fish owners. Be sure to remove all chlorine from machines and aquariums. Greenville Utilities also started conducting "Operation Spring Clean" Sunday, but this process will not be complete until June 11. The operation will open fire hydrants to clean the water dis- tribution system. Residents are asked to avoid washing clothes during the period when their lines arc being cleaned. About 25 percent of U.S. public water systems used chlo- ramine for decades to disinfect the water. Chloramine is a disinfectant agent consisting of ammo- nia and chlorine that kills potentially harmful bacteria and viruses. In December of 2002, Greenville Utilities switched from chlorine to chloramine because chloramine lasts longer, forms fewer disinfection by- products and poses less health risk than chlorine. Under the new health standards of the Environmen- tal Protection Agency's Safe Drinking Water Act, Greenville Utilities is mandated to use a treatment process to remove contaminants that may have been possible disease causing microorganisms. Because chlorine is a stronger disinfectant, switching back to it assures there is a proper disinfec- tant being distributed through- out pipelines. The treatment process will Consist of adding chemicals to settle the water and a primary disinfectant of Ozone to kill any harmful bacteria or viruses.

In a 50-minute spee;h at Central Piedmont Community College, just outside downtown Charlotte, the president noted that the textiles and furniture industries have both seen huge job losses as companies seek lower-wage production in other countries "I fully understand that there are people who hurt here Industries like the textiles and the furniture manufacturers are struggling, and 4-6-04 that is an issue that weve got to deal with he said More than 2.8 million manufacturing jobs have been lost nationwide over the past three and half years. In North Carolina, the twin pillars of textiles and furniture have gone into free fall. Among states with a significant number of manufacturing jobs, North Carolina leads the nation in the percentage of those jobs lost since 2000, with the 162,800 jobs representing nearly 22 percent National Kennedy assails Bush on domestic policies WASHINGTON (AP) - After months of attacking President Bush's policy on Iraq. Sen. Edward M Kennedy turned his focus to domestic issues, saying the administration has misled the public about the economy, health care and education "As a result, this president has now created the largest credibility gap since Richard Nixon Kennedy said in a speech Monday at the Brookings Institution, a think tank. "He has broken the basic bond of trust with the American people The Associated Press obtained an advance copy of the address The senator said the government has cut unemployment benefits, failed to pay for education overhaul and is spending $134 billion more than expected on a Medicare plan Kennedy has been taking on Bush as one of the most fervent supporters of John Kerry, the Massachusetts senator who is the presumptive Democratic nominee for president The attack on the administration's domestic agenda comes after several high-profile speeches in which Kennedy called the war in Iraq a "fraud" and said the plan to oust Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein was devised to help Republicans in the 2002 and 2004 elections.

"It's not over until Paul Shanley is in jail attorney Roderick MacLeish Jr. said early Monday morning. He said the settlement was reached about 11 pm Sunday. MacLeish, who declined to reveal the size of the settlement at the request of his clients, said a joint statement by his office and church leaders was to be released Monday Calls to the archdiocese and its spokesman, the Rev. Chris Coyne, were not immediately returned. The four alleged victims and their families refused to sign onto a massive $85 million settlement with the church last September. Shanley, once known for his street ministry to gay and troubled youth, has pleaded innocent to charges of raping the four in the Boston suburb of Newton in the 1980s He was released on $300,000 bail last December, and is awaiting trial. World U.S. forces seal off Fallujah ahead of major operation FALLUJAH, Iraq (AP) - Hundreds of US and Iraqi troops in tanks, trucks and other vehicles surrounded the turbulent city of Fallujah on Monday ahead of a major operation against insurgents following the grisly slayings of four American security contractors last week. Explosions and gunfire could be heard coming from the center of the city. Streets on the outskirts were largely deserted One U.S Marine was killed in fighting in the area Monday, said Lt. Col. Gregg Olson, commander of the 2nd Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment. US. commanders have been vowing a massive response to pacify Fallujah, one of the most violent cities in the Sunni Triangle, the heartland of the anti-US insurgency north and west of Baghdad. After the slayings of the Americans on Wednesday, residents dragged the four bodies through the streets, hanging two of their charred corpses from a bridge, in horrifying scenes that showed the depth of anti-U.S. sentiment in the city. U.S. troops closed off entrances to Fallujah with earth barricades ahead of the planned operation, code named "Vigilant Resolve Military patrols entered the outer suburbs on reconnaissance missions and to broadcast warnings on loud speakers to residents to stay indoors until Tuesday. Indonesians vote as ex- dictator's party expects gains JAKARTA, Indonesia (API- Indonesians voted in legislative elections Monday with the party that once supported ex-dictator Suharto expected to win the most seats a result likely to hurt President Megawati Sukarnoputri's re-election prospects. It was Indonesia's second free parliamentary election sinceSuharto's ouster amid pro-democracy protests six years ago. Security was tight across the world's most populous Muslim nation, which is fighting separatist rebellions and Islamic militants who have mounted deadly attacks, including the October 2002 bombing of two Bali nightclubs that left 202 people.

The findings back up previ- ous research showing that televi- sion can shorten attention spans and support American Academy of Pediatrics recommendations that youngsters under age two not watch television. "The truth is there are lots of reasons for children not to watch television. Other studies have shown It to be associated with obesity and aggressiveness" too, said lead author Dr. Dimi- tri Christakis, a researcher at Children's Hospital and Regional Medical Center in Seattle. The study, appearing in the April issue of Pediatrics, focused on two groups of children - aged I and 3 - and suggested that TV might over stimulate and perma- nently "rewire" the developing brain. The study involved 1,345 children who participated In government-sponsored national health surveys. Their parents were questioned about the children's TV view- ing habits and rated their behavior at age 7 on a scale similar to measures used in diagnosing attention deficit disorders. The researchers lacked data on whether the youngsters were diagnosed with attention deficit disorders hut the number of children whose parents rated them as having atten- tion problems - 10 percent - is similar to the prevalence in the general popula- tion, Christakis said. Problems included diffi- culty concentrating, acting restless and impulsive, and being easily confused. About 36 percent of the 1-year-olds watched no TV, while 37 percent watched one to two boun daily and had a 10 percent to 20 percent increased risk of attention problems. Fourteen percent watched three to four hours daily and had a 30 percent to 40 percent increased risk compared with children who watched no TV. The remain- der watched at least five hours daily. Among 3-ycar-olds, only 7 percent watched no TV, 44 percent watched one to two hours daily, 27 percent watched three to four hours daily, almost 11 percent watched five to six hours daily, and about 10 per- cent watched seven or more hours daily. In a Pediatrics editorial, educational psychologist Jane llealy said the study "is impor- tant and long overdue" but needs to be followed up to con! irm and better explain the mechanisms that may be involved. The researchers didn't know what shows the children watched, but Christakis said Studies say every hour preschoolers watch television, the risk of developing attention problems increases by 10 percent. content likely isn't the culprit. Instead, he said, unrealistically fast-paced visual images typical of most TV programming may alter normal brain develop- ment. Israeli ministers confront Sharon over withdrawal plan JERUSALEM (AP) � Pales- tinians might not get a state for many years as a result of Israel's unilateral "disengagement" plan, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said in interviews published Monday, providing more details of his pro- posal to withdraw from allot'the Gaza Strip and four West Bank settlements. Sharon also said Israel is no longer bound hy a pledge to the United States not to harm Yasser Arafat, saying the Pales- tinian leader and the head of Lebanon's Hezbollah guerrillas, Hassan Nasrallah, are potential targets for assassination. The prime minister gave wide-ranging interviews to the Yediot Ahronot and HaaretZ dailies, as well as Israel Radio and Israel Army Radio, ahead of the weeklong Jewish holiday of Passover, which begins at sundown Monday. Israeli security forces were on high alert for the holiday, with reinforcements deployed at outdoor markets, malls estlnlans and that he would nol coordinate with them-an appar- ent response to ultra-nationalist critics who have accused him of succumbing to Palestinian violence. "In the unilateral plan, there is no Palestinian state. This situation could continue for many years Sharon told Yediot. and synagogues.

However, he insists he does not have a Palestinian partner, accusing Palestinian Prime Minister Ahmed Qurcia of not confronting militants. Palestinians charge the with- ' Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon claimed he was no longer sticking to his pledge not to hurt Yasser Arafat. Sharon said the Palestinian leader could be targeted for assassination. drawal plan is a ruse to trade t iaza for a permanent grasp over most of the West Bank. Sharon's remarks Monday further raised Palestinian suspicions. "If he cancels the partner- ship between us and the Israeli government, then it's a deliber- ate attempt by him to postpone or delay the creation of the Palestinian state said Palestin- "fie Palestinians say they welcome any withdrawal, but that it must be coor- dinated with them and be carried out as part of the U.S backed "road map" peace plan, which envisions a Palestinian state by next year. The prime minister said he plans to evacuate all 21 Israeli settlements in Gaza and four in the West Bank. He said a patrol road between the Gaza Strip and Egypt would remain under Israeli control for the time being. Sharon said he would seal off Gaza after a withdrawal, at least initially. "At the moment, the plan is to evacuate all the (Gaza) settle- ments, to present the Palestin- ians from operating ports and to keep the border with Egypt under our authority Sharon told Yediot. "In my opinion, it would be best to disconnect from all the territory Sharon did not explain how Gaza would function in such a situation, lie said Israel would continue supplying water and electricity, but said the flow might stop in the event of a major Palestinian attack on Israelis. Spain makes another arrest in Madrid terrorist bombings MADRID, Spain (AP) � Authorities announced another arrest in the Madrid terror bomb- ings Monday and sent polite to patrol subway and bus sta- t ions, as a newspaper said a group linked to al-Qaida threatened to turn Spain into "an inferno Court officials said the arrest came Saturday in Ceuta, a Spanish enclave on the Moroc- can coast. No details were given on the ntan's identity or possible role in the March 11 train attacks, which killed 191 people. Another suspect whose week- end arrest was also announced Monday lias been released after questioning, officials said. The arrest raises to 16 the number of people In custody, including six charged with mass murder. Interior Minister Angel Acebes confirmed Monday that one of those killed in a suicide blast Saturday In an apartment south ol Madrid was Moroccan lamal Ahnii- dan, a prime suspect In the bombings. At least five terror suspects are believed to have died ill the explosion, along with a special forces officer. One of the suspected ter- rorists has yet to be identified. Sarhane Ben Abdelmajid lakhct, a Tunisian believed to be the overall leader ol the attacks, was among those killed, Acebes said. Fear of more violence prompted authorities to order police to patrol the city's subway and bus stations while civil guards and army units continued . beck- ing the country's rail system.

There is no psychiatric excuse for this type of desperate cry for attention. A missing college student, Audrey Seiler. was found alive in a marsh a couple miles away from her apartment building on Wednesday. Seiler claimed she was kidnapped from her apartment, tied up and taken to the marsh. After finding her, police found inconsistencies in hot story, concluding that the whole event was a hoax. Surveillance tapes show Seiler buying a knife, duct tape, rope, gum and cold medicine from a local convenience store. Police found maps of wooded areas and their weather forecasts saved on her computer. Why would an intelligent, well-liked college student fake her own disappearance? Police spent an estimated $70,000 on canines, planes, boats and overtime to search for Seiler. It is upsetting that someone would fake a kid- napping and have her family, friends and the community concerned about her well-being. In February, Seiler claimed that she was attacked by an unknown assailant and left unconscious. She was not sexually assaulted and she was not robbed. Could Seiler have been lying about that attack, too? We think so, especially since nothing was taken from her. Seiler should be charged for her crime. Because she planned her own kidnapping - down to the supplies used - we view this intelligent, well-liked girl as negligent, senseless and inconsiderate. She's wasted money that should have been spent on search efforts for real victims and the conviction of their kidnappers. Although Seiler is now in a psychiatric hospi- tal, she should be found guilty and punished.

In My Opinion Israel assassinates founder, spiritual leader of Hamas Palestinians vow m revenge PETER KALAJIAN STAFF WRITER After five failed attempts, the Israeli military was suc- cessful this week in assassinat- ing Sheik Ahmed Yassin, the founder and spiritual leader of Hamas. As he rode in a motorcade through Gazaity. the sheik, who is blind and confined to a wheelchair, was killed in a massive explosion along with several aides when a missile tired Iroin a hovering Israeli helicopter struck his vehicle. As the spiritual leader and founder ol the proTPale.sMn- ian group, llamas. Yassin had long been considered the mas- termind behind some of the deadliest suicide bombings in Israel since the beginning of the second Intifada nearly lour years ago. Unfortunately lor the Israeli government, Ariel Sharon has iust committed what will probably prove to be the worst military miscalculation of his i areer. Israel needs lo prepare herself to reap the whirlwind, I tail to set' how assassi- nating one old man is worth the perhaps dozens of Israeli civilians who will be killed in the impending wave of retribution suicide bombings from an enraged Hamas leadership. In the aftermath of the assas- sination, Israel has expelled all Palestinians from her borders and closed all checkpoints in and out of the occupied territories. Some would say that assas- sinating a man opposed to the very existence of the Israeli slate and who was no doubt involved in a number of deadly suii Ide bombings on Israeli soil is justified - and maybe they're right. The Israeli Defense Forces has been living to assassinate Yassin lor some lime. lie has survived two car bombings and several other varied assassination attempts. Sharon and the rest of his hard-line government thought that killing this man, who is ,i s mbol ol the Palestinian struggle loi freedom to so many, would somehow stem the tide o young Palestinian militants coming lo Israel to blow them- selves up I fear the opposite will be I me By refusing to give an Inch iii negotiations to end tin' bloodshed and ter- rorizing innocent Pales- tinians on a dailv basis, Sharon and his govern- ment cronies have ensured that retribution for the sheik's murder will be swift and lieree Already, militant groups within the occupied territories have begun lauiu liing mortars into Israeli settlements and the Lebanese group, Hezbollah, has implemented attacks against Israeli border patrols, killing a number of soldiers. These attacks are only the beginning. Since the inception of the State of Israel in 1948, the Israeli Government, bolstered by sophisticated military equipment and train- ing from Great Britain and the United States, implemented a system of Intimidation and control over the Palestinians which has contin- ued to this day. I ven in their own lands, Palestinians are forced to produce identifica- tion at the whim of young Israeli soldiers, most of whom have grown up learn- ing to hate and fear their Arab neighbors, and Israeli foot soldiers regularly sack Palestinian houses looking for "terrorists Where Tel Aviv has buses and western cars lining the streets, Uaza has Israeli tanks and troops transports. Palestinians live in fear and poverty, most of which Is imposed upon them by Israel. All the while, the Israeli government Is exploiting these people as slave labor- ers, importing tens of thou- sands of Palestinians every day to work at jobs that most Israelis consider beneath them. Palestinians are bus driv- ers and janitors, construction workers and menial laborers, making significantly less money than their Jewish counterparts. Without this force of low wage employees, the Israeli economy would come to a grinding halt. At the same time, unem- ployment within the occupied territories runs as high as 60 percent In some places. Now, on top of the daily humiliation Palestin- ians are subjected to, the Israelis assassinate one of the most revered and beloved figures in Palestine, Sheik Ahmed Yassin. Until the United States and Israel drastically change their policies toward the Palestinian people who, by (he way, have as valid a claim to the land as the Jews do, the horrors of suicide bomb- ing and military occupation ol Arab lands will continue indefinitely. Between 70 AD. and 1948, the Israeli people had little or no presence in the Holy I and. Maybe its time the Pal- estinians were given what's theirs. If you don't invest very much, then defeat doesn't hurt very much and winning is not very exciting. " In My Opinion Attraction is more than skin-deep A definition of true beauty TONYZOPPO ASSISTANT FEATURES EDITOR I saw an advertisement for clothing recently that had a young girl, maybe 16, sitting with her arms propped over her legs in front of her. The girl was noticeably skinny, borderline unhealthy even. She had on designer black pants and a striped shirt and in big bold letters was "less is more I don't know who is in charge of advertising for that company, but they need to look back at that ad and see what kind of message it's sending. We're talking about an adolescent girl speaking in volumes to thousands of other young girls about "less is more Although this quote is refer- ring to the clothing, you'd have to be insane to tell me that there isn't another message lying within that phrase. Kver heard of Anorexia Ner- vosa? Bulimia Nervosa? these are psychological eating disorders, Anorexia being the most prominent in young women, mostly those going through the physical and psychological changes that come with puberty. Why on Earth, with some- thing as serious as that going on this country, would we have a society whose advertising puts this enormous strain on being physically "perfect?" from the time they are little girls, women are under a pressure that no man may ever know. More often than not, it's society that teaches females they have to look per- fect. They need to have great skin, high cheekbones, long legs, narrow hips, a slim torso and - maybe, most importantly - a closed mouth. Why does our definition of beauty have to be just skin- deep? Why isn't an outgoing quality in a woman desirable? Why is it that in almost every advertisement with a female, there's some kind of sex-sell- ing mentality depicting these women as mere objects? Beauty and being sexy is not about fitting into a size four and having a bust size that makes Pamela Anderson look like she has two mosquito bites on her chest. Though the surface is almost always the first thing that intrigues a person about another and throws a spark out in the open, looks are merely a stepping stone - they're not true beauty. I'll tell you what beauty is. Beauty is the woman next to you who puts up with your crap day in and day out and still loves you with all her heart. Beauty is the woman who has a brain and a sense of humor in addition to a body. Beauty is that creature beside you who wants to spend every moment with you for the rest of both your lives. Beauty is the wonderful mother of your children who has fair skin, wide hips, fit legs and a wide-open mouth, whether she is nagging at you or talking in the sweetest, soft- est voice you've ever heard. Beauty isn't about all our society makes it out to be. It's about seeing an imperfect person perfectly. The next time you see an ad with a woman half or barely clothed and some wacky sex phrase littered all over the page or television screen, think about how much you would like it if you were under a micro- scope like that every day of your life. We're people, not objects - let's treat each other like people. And "people" certainly includes women.

II" these were the UNUVs idea of the Food Guide Pyra- mid, millions (if people would find it a lot easier to follow a bal- anced diet People know chocolate isn't exactly a health food, but contran to popular belief, it is act u ally not so unhealthy. Chocolate contains high levels of phe- nolics, chemicals that may help protect against heart disease In- preventing fat- like substances from clogging the arter- ies.

Oleic acid, the heart-healthy fat found in olive oil, is also contained in cocoa butler. It is also well known tbat chocolate is full of flava- noids, thus making the food an even greater benefactor ot cardiovascular health. I lavanoids occur naturally in the cacao plant tfhich chocolate is derived, I as in red wine, tea, iruits and vegetables. Flavanoids also serve as antioxidants- enzymes that may help prevent or delay cancer or similar cell and tissue damage In fact, chocolate has an even higher antioxidant level than highly touted red wine However, the chocolate should have a high percentage of cocoa solids - at least 70 percent - in order to be deemed truly health ful. therefore, not all chocolates are equal. Dark chocolate has a higln i c onlcnt ol cocoa solids per ounce than milk chocolate. As a result, there are about twice as many antioxidants in dark chocolate, making it healthier than the higher fat and higher calorie milk chocolate. If you make wise chocolate choices and choose the liealthiei dark kind, vmi mav actually be doing something good lor your body. Ac i ording to a study by Harvard University, men whoate chocolate lived, on average, one year longer than men who did not eat chocolate, rhe difference in longevity is probably because these chemicals help protect against two of the major killers - heart disease and cancer. Before you run out to the store to stock u p on i hoi olatebars, how- ever, don't forget that chocofete does have its own set of negative side ettects.

I lie sugar in chocolate ilia's not cause cavities any more than the sugar in other toods, nor does chocolate contribute to acne Research even suggests iti.it cocoa butter may protect teeth from cavities by creating a protective coal- ing against plaque. Chocolate even contains less caffeine than coffee. A cup of coffee usualh has between 100 and ISO milligrams ol caffeine, whereas the average choc - olate bar contains a significantly fewer .to milligrams. How- ever, hocolate is still slightly stimulating because of theobromine, another chemical that resembles caffeine. the presence i if I heobrominc catleine and other stimulants is not great enough to have much of an impact on the brain and nervous system. Still, somepeople claim comfort in the food. "You can always count on chocolate for three things said Itenee Elliott, Ireshman theater education major.

Healthy breakfast leads to happy days Morning meals give important energy boost LAURA KEELING STAFF WRITER Breakfast has always been pounded into our heads as the most important meal ol tile day. As much as students hate to admit it, breaklast fuels the bode with energy to last throughout an entire day. According to a Harvard Medical School sluclv, those who eat breakfast every da) an- less likely to become obese than those who choose not to eat breaklast. "Breakfast actually helps to increase metabolism said Tara Barber, Registered Dietician with Wellness Education at the ECU Student Health Center. "Someone who skips break last is more likeK In over eat on high calorie foods and remain hungry for the rest of the day Alter eight to 12 hours without a meal or snack, the body needs to replenish its glucose (blood sugar), which is the main energy source for the brain. "the American Dietetic Association suggests cereal topped with Iruit and yogurt, whole grain toast with peanut butter and a glass ot milk, or scrambled eggs, toast and fruit "When I eat breakfast before an exam, I leel like I do better on it said Erin Dehart, junior communication major. A typical student's morn- ing often consists of waking up late and rushing out the door to walk to class, catch the bus or find that golden parking spot. With a student's schedule being so hectic, there often isn't time lor breakfast. What is a college student to do Some options that you might want to try are waking up at least IS minutes early. This time would allow you to grab some toast and a cup ol orange juice. If you don't want to make it yourself, you can always grab fast food. More and more fast food restaurants are offering healthier meals. For example. Mi Donald's egg Mi Muffin is low in carbohydrates and has lots of protein - a perfect alternative to eating nothing at all. Another healthy tip is to eat a breakfast that Includes at leasl one protein, one carbohydrate and one fruit, this meal is well-balanced and will cause your energy level to increase at a rapid pace. Barber said that eating breakfast provides the body with essential nutrients that cannot he made up for later in the day.

Race Team tounclne the lines! ), should mo Eat fast while eating healthy Fast food chains jump on diet bandwagon KIMBERLY KNIGHT STAFF WRITER Eating at your favorite fast food restaurants isn't the same anymore - the trend is a health- ier meal instead of the usual favorites like heavy, saturated, fatty burgers and the option of super sizing. Businesses like McDonald's, llardees and Wendy's all offer healthier choices along with the original menus. "I think the fast food industry is making a good effort to promote a healthy lifestyle, hut what is going to happen if we find out that three or four years later that the low-carb items were just as bad for us as the rest?" said Brian Welch, graduate student business administration major. McDonald's offers healthy alternatives for breakfast, lunch and dinner. In the mornings, you can eat an Egg McMuffin and have a 12-ounce cup of orange juice totaling at 440 calories. If you happen to skip breakfast and zoom into lunch, you can eat a Caesar salad with grilled chicken with Newman's Own Low-Eat Balsamic Vinaigrette along with a Eruit 'n Yogurt i'arfait washed down with a medium Iced lea that equals 400 calories. Another option is a four-pack of Chicken McNuggets with one pack of honey, a side salad with half of Newman's Own creamy Caesar dressing and a small Sprite for only 470 calories. However, if McDonald's is not your favorite fast food res- taurant, try llardees. llardees now has Atkins Wendy's offers salads as one of their low-calorie r burgers for those looking for an alternative to other hamburg- ers. The low-carb Thick Burger only has six carbohydrates and 49 fewer grams of fat than other burgers on the menu. 1 lardees also offers a low-carb Breakfast Bowl with only five carbohydrates and a low-carb Chicken Club Sandwich with just 11 carbohydrates. Another fast food favorite is turning over a new menu as well. Wendy's now offers low- calorie foods as well as providing helpful tips about how to plan healthier meals daily. On their Web site, Wendy's.com, a suggested meal planner is offered containing options under 510 calories and fewer than 10 grams of fat. Examples are the Jr. Hamburger with a side salad and fat-free dressing, a large chili with a side salad and fat-free dressing, or a grilled chicken sandwich with a side salad with fat-free dressing. Eor students looking for other options, talking with a nutritionist can be helpful. The Wellness Education department offers health educators, nutri- tionists and body image and eating programs. Services such as meal planning and nutrition are offered at no cost to the student. "When tliey come to the Student Health Center, students are treated by trained profes- sionals in a respectful courte- ous manner said Karen S. Warren, director of Wellness Education. "All visits are highly confi- dential and cost effective Still, it all comes down to the individual wanting to change their eating style or meal supplement. "You can change the menu all you want, however, the problem is the fact that people are still living an unhealthy lifestyle and in order to change their lifestyle they must first change themselves and want to start living a healthier life said Mitchell Burley, junior neuroscience major.

Coria said he hurt his back in the first set. Trailing 6-5, he received treatment from a trainer during a changeover, then played a flawless tiebreaker to pull out the set However. Coria walked to the chair frowning and shaking his head and threw his racket at his bag As Roddick took control in the second and third sets, Coria occasionally clutched his back between points, and his movement and serve were clearly affected After hitting a forehand into the net in the first game of the final set. Coria waved his hands in frustration and walked to the net to concede Bruins top Devils, win division title The Boston Bruins earned an edge for at least the first two rounds of the playoffs by making the New Jersey Devils' road to consecutive Stanley Cup titles a little tougher Glen Murray set up a goal and scored another in a big first period and the Bruins won the Northeast Division title They helped take away the Atlantic Division crown from the Devils with a 3-1 win on Sunday The Bruins, who played without star center Joe Thornton for the second straight game because of what's being called an upper body miury by the team, will face the Montreal Canadiens in a best-of-7 series starting on Wednesday in Boston The Bruins, the second seed in the Eastern Conference, won the season series with the seventh-seeded Canadiens 3-0-1-2.

ECU sweeps weekend series in Charlotte BRENT WYNNE STAFF WRITER Chew on this: 48 hits, 10 home runs and 4S runs. Sounds like enough offense to last 10 games, huh? Try three for the ECU baseball team, which once again proved they have one of the nation's most potent offenses .is they rocked Charlotte in a three game set 8-0, 13-5 and 24-13. In a nearly (lawless per- formance, the Pirate offense was working like a well-oiled machine trained to do two things - seek and destroy. The object of destruction just happened to be the ball in this case. The Charlotte pitch- ers are probably suffering from the lowest esteem levels ot Lbe.it collective careers after watching pitch after pitch sail around and, often times, out ot the ballpark. The dominance began with a game one shutout. Junior Creg Bunn tossed eight scoreless innings, scatter- ing two hits and recorded eight strikeouts as he improved to 5-0 Oil the season. Phillip Powell came on In the ninth to preserve (he shut- out for the Pirates, their fifth ot the season. The lethal l.awhorns were up to their usual anticsagain as they both homered in the same game for the third time this season. Darryl's home run, the 39th of his career, moved him into a tie with pitching coach Tommy hason for third place on ECU's all-time home run list. The Pirates improved to 22- 6ovcrall and 4-3 in Conference- USA with the win. The offense was in full throttle again for game two as BCD pounded out a remarkable season-high 21 hits along with another season-high for runs, 13, in route to a 13-5 pasting of the 49ers. the Pirates, now 23-6 over- all and S-3 in C-USA, found themselves facing a 4-0 deficit after a shaky start from Shane Mat hews, who surrendered three first-inning home runs, allowing the 49ers to jump ahead. Mat hews put his foot down after that and didn't allow another run in his appearance, keeping the Pirates in the game. ECU kicked it into high gear with an eight-run fifth, which ultimately proved to be too much for Charlotte who mustered only one more run in the home half of the ninth. The eight-run explosion was due largely in part to a set of homcruns blasted by T. Lawhorn, Drew Costanzo and Ryan Jones, who combined for seven of the eight RBIs in the frame. Jones' blast was a grand slam and marked his ninth round trip- per of the season. Matt Bishop was the benefi- ciary of the knockout blow as he picked up the win and improved to 2-0 on the season. Ryan Norwood and Mark Minicozzi also had fine days at the plate as they both went 3-for- 5 with an RBI and a run scored. As it the punishment, irj lie- firsl two games wasn't enough, the Pirates were relentless in the series finale as they banged out 19 more hits to completely obliterate the 49ers 24-13.

Spring practice concludes with scrimmage Offense persists over defense in 70-54 win BRANDON HUGHES SENIOR WRITER The Pirate football team wrapped up spring practice and conducted their final scrimmage Thursday night at Dowdy-Rcklen Stadium, fans' support and a food and clothing drive made the two- hour session a success. Head Coach John Thomp- son utilized a modified scoring system as the offense outscored the defense 70-54. The offense was awarded points for touch- downs, field goals, PAT's. tirst downs and plays more than 20 yards. The defense earned points by forcing turnovers, punts and sacks. Defense was the story ol (he tirsl quarter as the) forced two punts and sacked the quarterback on three occasions lhe defense recorded 12 tackles tor loss and sis sacks on the game "I couldn't be more happy with the way these guys came out here and competed tonight said Thompson. The Pirates' spring ended with a scrimmage under the lights at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium. "The defense played well early, the offense came back and competed, made some big plays and took care ol (he football The Pirate rushing attack gave the offense a big advantage throughout the game Senior quarterback Desmond Robinson scored the first of three rushing touchdowns on a 23-yard run in the second quarter. Kobinson also handed "II to Edwin Burke for the second touchdown run. Burke finished the game with -SO rushing yards on seven carries. Sophomore quarterback James Pinkney ran over several Pirate defenders on a five-yard score late in the game and led the air attack with 171 passing yards on 17-of-36 attempts. The trio of Robinson, Pinkney and Patrick Dosh combined for 336 yards passing to 12 different receivers and no interceptions. Robert Tillman led ECU with 80 rushing yards on 20 carries and fullback Jcmarcus Veal tallied 74 yards on just four carries. Wide receiver Will Bland led the receiving corps with five receptions for 67 yards and Demarcus Fox had seven catches for 63 yards. This writer can be contacted at sporti@theeastcarolinian.com.

Leveque leads Pirate golfers ECU finishes fifth in Bradford Creek tourney TRENT WYNNE STAFF WRITER Ryan l.eveque's (67-75-69) five-under-par performance in the Bradford Creek (par-72, 7,151-yards) Invitational tourna- ment hosted by the Pirates las! weekend helped ECU to a fifth place finish in its home tourney and rebuilt some of the lost Pirate confidence. "We need to regain our confidence and build as much momentum as we can heading into the conference champion- ships said ECU Mead Coach Kevin Williams. "We had not been playing that well in the spring so far ECU was tied for the lead With Campbell and Gardner- Webb after each team fired a first round 286. The Pirates dropped to fifth after the second round with a 292, four over par, and stayed there for the rest of the tourna- ment. Leveque won the fall version of this event - the 54-hole, two- day tourney - which featured many non-district teams from the northeast. "Ryan is a freshman that shows a lot of promise Williams said. "If he will just work harder, he has a really bright future here The three-time defending champion UNC-W Seahawks came up just short in a quest for a four-peat as they fired a three-round total of 858, good enough for second place and just six strokes off of the Camp- bell Camels who took home the trophy. "They have really had a strangle hold on this tourna- ment for the past few years Williams said. ECU was just one of the 21 teams competing in this year's event along with American Uni- versity, Appalachian State, Army, Campbell, Charleston Southern, Coastal Carolina, OePaul, F.lon and Gardner-Webb.

WE WILL NOT BE UNDERSOLD THE END IS NEAR! We are finally nearing the end of another academic year For Suzy and John, students we discussed earlier in the year, the year has brought both successes and lessons to be learned As students prepare to make the transition to their summer jobs, back to their families, or for those who are graduating, to new opportunities, there are several things to consider. � First, making a transition always means a period of adjustment. This will be difficult for you as well as your loved ones Don't be surprised if it is difficult to move back in with your family. After all, you have changed over the year You are not used to your parents and they are not used to the "new you They might expect you to be the same person you were nine months ago when they dropped you off at ECU Remember to communicate clearly and calmly about what might need to be different for you Remember to listen well, and consider the fact that you are living in their home You may need to make some compromises. � Second, you will be leaving your friends that you have learned to love. Perhaps you are even separating from that special someone for the summer This can be very difficult. Have a conversation about what you expect from each other over the summer. Discuss how you will communicate with each other Discuss possibilities for visits etc. Remember to do your part in the communicating Don't expect them to always call you, email you etc. Initiate your share of the conversations. � Third, You might be seeing old friends from home again Remember that you and the friends have all changed. Remember that they might not enjoy the same activities, may not have the same interests as you. Try to let them develop into the people they want to be, while you develop into who you want to be It is hard to understand how friendships can change, and if you can acknowledge this, you stand a much better chance at remaining friends. � Fourth, you will need to adjust to new time schedules Perhaps you are used to getting up at 11 00 for your first class Now you have to get up at 8:00 for that new job. This can take some getting used to. Remember to get your share of sleep Remember to eat healthy, and not to burn the candle at both ends. A special word to seniors: You are embarking on a new journey You will have all kinds of feelings about this. You may feel anxious or scared because you do not quite know what lies ahead You may feel sad about leaving your college years behind. You may feel excited about moving on to this new part of your life. Whatever the case, remember that it is normal to feel all of these emotions. Go easy on yourself. It is ok if you don't feel great all of the time Talk to others, take care of yourself, and if these feelings are more than you can handle, come into the counseling center between 8:30 and 4:30 Monday through Friday for some guidance.

The eighth inning saw D. l.awhorn move into sole posses- sion of third place on the ECU all-time home runs list in a big way as he blasted a grand slam that got things cooking for the I'irates. A Jones three-run triple and a T. l.awhorn two run job gave ECU the 19-11 advantage. The Pirates tacked on five more runs in the ninth, adding a bit of icing to the already heavily glazed cake. Norwood, Minicozzi and Adam Witter also added homers for the Pirates, who ultimately improved to 24-6 overall and 6- 3 in C-USA on the season. Jones and T. Lawhorn led the way with four hits apiece and three and four RBls respectively. Witter and Norwood each added two hits and three RBls and D. Lawhorn added one hit (grand slam) and five RBls. Kevin Rhodes earned the win In this wild contest as he tossed three inning, in relief, striking out three and only allowing three runs. The Pirates' blazing bats will have a crack at another in-state rival on Wednesday as ECU travels to Raleigh for a 7 p.m. showdown with the Duke Blue Devils.
