Students cope with
aftermath of early
April apartment fire
Red Cross, ECU supply aid to victims
KEITH S. BYERS
STAFF WRITER
Greenville residents and EGU students began
picking up whatever they could find in their dam-
aged Cypress Garden apartments after an early-
morning fire ripped through 18 units last week.
Although Greenville Fire-Rescue Department is
unsure of what ignited the fire, Battalion Chief Jeff
Walker said they have ruled it as accidental.
Gary Coggins, Interim fire marshal for the City
of Greenville, said the investigation into the cause
may take some time because investigators must
interview all the residents, victims of the fire and
those nearby, and that will continue after everyone
has settled down.
"People are scattered around right now said
Coggins.
Coggins said the fire department is certain the
tire began on a second floor balcony, but could not
give a specific apartment number.
Charlcne Lee, exectutive director for the Pitt
County Chapter of the American Red Cross, said at
this time housing has been found for most of the
22 people that were affected. Some have chosen to
live with friends, and others have moved back in
with their parents.
Residents will not be provided food assistance
until new housing has been found for them, lee
said.
After housing has been located, the Red Cross
goes grocery shopping with the Food Bank of North
Carolina, located on Ninth Street. Residents submit
a request for items they want and the Red Cross will
try to accommodate them.
"We provide them with a list, and they check
off what they want. If they want Cheerios instead
of Frosted Flakes we try to accommodate them
I.ee said.
"The residents have been very com-
plimentary of the services we provided
Lee said one student told her their "timing and
quality of service was impeccable
ECU Counseling Services stepped in to lend a
hand the same night of the fire.
l.ynn M. Roeder, Ph.D, assistant vice chancel-
lor and director of Counseling Services, said that a
"debriefing an urgent counseling session aimed
at defusing shock and panic- was held the evening
after the fire.
"We try to get students to talk about what
they experienced and how they feel about it said
Roeder.
Roeder said the first 48 hours after a traumatic
event, such as a fire, are critical to prevent longer
lasting emotional problems, such as depression and
loss of appetite from occurring.
Most students were stricken with "mode of
survival" emotions and concerned about their
schoolwnrk. One graduate student went back to
try to salvage a thesis she had been working on,
Roeder said.
Trauma, such as a fire, can literally burn itself
into a victim's mind and result In panic and depres-
sion.

for the construction of the Learning Village.
Construction on
Learning Village
to begin in May
Medical complex will provide
much-needed home for allied
health, nursing, library

ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR
Students in the schools of Nursing and Allied
Health Sciences will have a new, larger academic
home in 2006.
Construction on the Learning Village, which
will house a building containing the two schools
and the Laupus Health Sciences Library, will begin
in May. During Founder's Week In late March,
school officials broke ground on the medical
campus west of the Warren Life Sciences Building,
where the Learning Village will be located.
The new space is desperately needed to accom-
modate ECU's expanding health-related divi-
sions.
Currently situated in the Belk Building on
Charles Boulevard, the School of Allied Health Sci-
ences is struggling to find room for its 513 students
and more than 50 full-time faculty. By the end of
the decade, the school projects that it could have
900 declared majors.
In addition to the Belk building, the school uses
six trailers and a distant research site.
"We've run out of classrooms and out of office
space said Stephen W. Thomas, dean of Allied
Health Sciences.
The nine allied health departments - includ-
ing biostatlstics communication sciences and
disorders and physical and occupational therapy
- are different and have distinct need. Since each
practical application is necessary to health fields,
the school needs space so students can experience
real-life settings.
The Learning Village will encompass 303,000
square feet; 127,000 of that will go to allied health,
more than double the current space it occupies.
Classrooms, research labs and teachers' offices
will have a central location, providing more unity
for the school.
"It's really hard to have any department with
any sense of collegiality, especially so spread out
Thomas said.
The move will unite the school and provide an
opportunity for collaboration with other health

Study looks into post-traumatic
stress in sexual assault victims
Researchers hope to
help prevent PTSD
DANIEL SHUMAN
STAFF WRITER
Sexual assault victims who
experience post-traumatic stress
disorder are the focus of a new
study by Dr. Gary Bawtinhimer,
ECU's director of residency
training for the psychiatry
department.
"This is really an Important
area of psychiatry that we're
entering into, it is the preven-
tion of psychiatric illness
said Bawtinhimer.
"There's very few studies out
there to show the ability to pre-
venta disease, and there's nostud-
ies yet available to show that we
can prevent PTSD we're trying
to show that this may, in fact, be
possible through this study
Bawtinhimer said he decided
to do this research because
of the enormous percent-
age of sexual assault victims
Bawtinhimer
that are affected by PTSD. I le said
90 percent of women attacked
experience PTSD onset within
one month.
He said the disorder will
be gone from one-half of its
sufferers within six months
of their incident, but one-
third of them will experience
it more than six months.
The National Center tor
PTSD defines the disease as "a
psychiatric disorder that can
occur following the experience
or witnessing of life-threaten-
ing events Such events include
military combat, natural disas-
ters, terrorist incidents, serious
accidents or violent personal
assaults like rape.
People who suffer from
PTSD often relive the experience
through nightmares and flash-
backs, have difficulty sleeping
and feel detached or estranged.
These symptoms can be
endure and be severe enough to
significantly impair the person's
daily life.
According to the NCPTSD
Web site, and estimated 8 percent
of the U.S. population will deal
with PTSD, and a women's likeli-
hood of battling with the disease
is twice that of a man's.
Participants in the 12-week
study will be treated with a
drug Paxil, which is often used

EPA passes new storm water regulations
Environmental Health,

storm drains to raise

JOSH SLONE
STAFF WRITER
To raise awareness of ECU'S
impact on the environment,
the Environmental Health and
Safety Office has initiated a proj-
ect to mark storm water drains.
A brightly colored, circular
sticker reading, "No dumping,
drains to river" which includes
a drawing of a fish in the center,
marked most of the drains on
campus.
Ross Reed, environmen-
tal specialist for EHSO, said
the office hopes to raise stu-
dent awareness of the impact
their actions have on the
Tar River.
Reed said the purpose of
the signs are to get faculty, staff
and students to protect the
storm drains from pollutants
by realizing the storm drains
actually lead to rivers and other
bodies of water.
Storm drains all over Greenville have been marked to alert
residents about what littering can do to surrounding bodies of
When it rains, storm water,
which carries pollutants, drains
to local bodies of water.
This type of pollution is
referred to as non-point source
pollution, because its source
cannot be attributed to a spe-
cific source.
An accumulation of non-
point source pollution can
become a large problem affect-
ing aquatic life and water
supply quality.
The Environmental Protec-
tion Agency recently named
non-point source pollution as
the largest contributor to con-
tamination of surface waters in
the United States.
In an attempt to solve
the problem of non-point
source pollution, the EPA
passed the new Phase II Storm
Water regulations, which require
smaller cities, such as Greenville,
to obtain storm water permits.
The permits require cities
to develop, implement and
enforce storm water manage-
ment programs that mak( sure
storm water runoff meets certain
water quality standards.
Part of the plan calls for cities
to initiate six control measures,

Bush braces nation for 'difficult' days
WASII INl.TON (AP) �Giving
no ground despite rising casual-
ties, President Bush says more
American troops may be head-
ing for Iraq with authority to
use decisive force in a mission
that "may become more difficult
before it is finished
Bush said America's will was
being tested by violence that has
turned April into the deadliest
month in Iraq since the fall of
Baghdad a year ago.
"Look, nobody likes to see
dead people on their television
screens Bush said.
"I don't. It's a tough time for
the American people to see that,
it's gut-wrenching
The president went before
the nation Tuesday night with a
speech and question-and-answer
session focusing on Iraq and the
government's reaction to warning
signs about terrorists before the
attacks of Sept. 11,2001.
Neither Bush's 17 minutes
of opening remarks nor the IS
questions that followed strayed
from those two topics, which
the president has made central
to his re-election but on which
his support in polls has declined
markedly.
Nonetheless, the president
expressed confidence he would
win over voters this fall.
"I don't plan on losing my job.
I plan on telling the American
people that I've got a plan to win
the war on terror. And I believe
they'll stay with me he said.
Though nearly half the
questions Bush fielded offered
him the chance to admit a
mistake or express regret for his
administration's actions in Iraq
or on the 2001 attacks, he never
did - except to apologize that
he couldn't come up with any
example of a failing.
"I don't want to sound like I
have made no mistakes. I'm con-
fident I have he said.
"I just haven't - you just put
me under the spot here, and

killed at least 8.) U.S. troops this
month as U.S. forces fight Sunni
Muslim insurgents in the city of
Fallujah, Shiite militiamen in the
south and gunmen in Baghdad
and on its outskirts.
In response, Bush said he has

against insurgents and that he
was ready himself to allow an
increase, rather than the planned
decrease, in U.S. troop strength

the country. But he also warned
that success could come at an
even higher cost than already is
being paid.
"Our work may become more
difficult before it is finished the
president said.
"No one can predict all the
hazards that lie ahead or the cost
that they will bring. Yet, in this
conflict, there is no safe alterna-
tive to resolute action
Looking longer-term, he tried
to answer critics who have said
the Iraq operation is too domi-
nated by the United States. He
touted efforts to devise a more
formal role for NATO and to win
the involvement of additional
countries by giving a UN. envoy
the power to help decide which
Iraqis would be placed in charge
when power is transferred June
30 from the U.S. occupying
authority.
lie repeated his resolve to
see that the June 30 date is met,
saying to do otherwise would lead
Iraqis to feel betrayed and "those
in Iraq who trade in hatred and
conspiracy theories" to gain
strength.
Sen. John Kerry, Bush's Dem-
ocratic rival, said the president
failed to explain how he would
stabilize Iraq.
"We need to set a new course
in Iraq the Massachusetts sena-
tor said in a statement.
"We need to internationalize
the effort and put an end to the
American occupation. We need
to open up the reconstruction of

specifically omitted from his
jury form.
Late last month, Stewart's
lawyers said that Hartridge had
lied In failing to disclose a 1997
arrest on charges of assault-
ing a woman he had been
living with.
The defense has argued
that it would have moved to
have llartridge stricken from
the jury had they known
about any of these facts from
his past.
The papers filed Wednes-
day asked U.S. District Judge
Miriam Goldman Cedarhaum,
who oversaw the homemak-
ing authority's trial earlier
this year, to grant a second
trial or at least a hearing on the
Hartridge matter.
llartridge could not immedi-
ately be reached for comment. A
listed number for him was out
of service.
federal prosecutors had no
comment Wednesday. Hut last
week, they said the disclosures
about Hartridge were not enough
to warrant a hearing, much less
a new trial.
Stewart was convicted
March 5 of lying about her sale
of a block of biotechnology
stock just before it plunged.
She will be sentenced June
17. Legal experts expect her to
get 10 to 16 months in prison.
Legal experts have said
Stewart faces an uphill battle
in her bid for a new trial
because she must show not
just lies by a juror, but a
clear bias that kept her from
rcceis ing a fair trial.
Arab network says it has video showing
ing of one of Italian hostages in Iraq
CAIRO, Egypt (AP) � An Arab
network broadcast a report
Wednesday that it has a video
showing the killing of one of
four Italian hostages being held
by militants in Iraq.
Al-Jazeera told The Associ-
ated Press that the footage shows
the four sitting on the ground,
holding up their passports and
surrounded by armed men. The
satellite station said the tape
showed the death of one of the
hostages, but did not broadcast
it to "protect the audience's

An Al-Jazeera employee at
the news desk in Doha, Qatar,
did not know how the station
got the tape.
A statement, from a previ-

the Green Battalion, which
threatened to "kill the three
remaining Italian hostages one

April 15 tax deadline underlines
complex forms, longer chores
WASHINGTON (AP) � Tax-
payers working feverishly to
meet the April IS filing dead-
line can take some comfort
knowing they are not alone
when it comes to scratching
their heads over this year's
forms, lax returns are getting
more complicated.
The government estimates
that the average taxpayer filing
a typical tax return with item-
ized deductions and income
from interest, capital gains
and dividends, has to spend
42 minutes more than last year
doing the math and paperwork.
The total estimated time
to finish these common forms
is 28 hours and 30 minutes.
It is not only frustrating,
hut economically counter-
productive, said David Keat-
ing senior counselor for the
National Taxpayers Union
and author of a new study on
tax complexity.
"This is something that
hohhles the nation's produc-
tivity because we have a lot
of very talented people fill-
ing out paperwork he said.
"It's a real deadweight in
our economy
Even the simplest Form
1040EZ tax return takes 3 hours
and 43 minutes to complete.
Some of this year's paper-
work burden stems from
changes in the taxpayers' favor,
such as new laws that reduced
the rates on capital gains and
dividends and increased the
child tax credit. The Inter-
nal Revenue Service reported
Wednesday that the average tax
refund increased 5 percent this
year to $2,090.
Occasionally, taxpayers find
they have to complete, only
to discover their work leads
to a dead end.
To test for alternative mini-
mum tax liability, for example,
the average taxpayer can spend
3 12 hours filling out a
worksheet only to find out
no extra tax is owed. The
alternative minimum tax
prevents wealthy taxpayers
from sheltering too much
Taxpayers working to meet today's tax deadline will find that tax returns are getting complicated.
The government estimates the average taxpayer will spend 42 minutes more completing it.
income. Increasingly, however,
it affects more middle-income
families.
The paperwork estimates
do not capture time spent in
tax planning while making
financial decisions, Keating
noted. "It's a year-round worry
you've done something the tax
stupid way, not the tax smart
way he said.
To cope with the burden,
taxpayers turn in droves to
a professional or a software
program to do the work, the
National Taxpayers Union
study said. More than 88
percent of taxpayers have
used a paid professional or
purchased tax software so far
this year.
The popularity of tax soft-
ware shows up in IKS statistit s
that measure a 20 percent
increase this year in taxpay-
ers using home computers
to file electronically.
Even the professionals rely
on software.
Kathy Burlison, direc-
tor of tax implementation at
IISiR Block, said the software
is particularly helpful with
this year's capital gains tax
calculations. Capital gains
can be taxed at multiple
rates this year, depending
when the asset was bought
and sold.
"We are all grateful for good
software. It's not a calcula-
tion we'd want to be making
over and over on our own
Burlison said.
lift It Block wrote its own
software program to break
through the complexity in edu-
cation tax credits and deduc-
tion. The education calculator
prevents taxpayers or tax pro-
fessionals from having to fill
out their tax return as many
as four different ways to
find out which yields the
lowest taxes.
Joseph Anthony, an enrolled
agent who prepares tax returns
in Portland, Ore said he does
his by hand every year as
an educational exercise before
turning to the computer.
He said he has seen the
complexity rise with each of
President Bush's tax cuts, and
he blames the firepower of
modern computers for making
the complications possible. Tax
cuts passed during Bush's
administration start and
stop, phase in and phase out,
and apply to only parts of
the taxpaying population.
"I blame Intel partly for
the complexity of tax returns
Anthony said.

Johnston said some differ-

Sandra Tawake, director
of undergraduate studies in
the English department, said
the English department is going
back to its traditional cer-
emony with a speaker, music,

me that they prefer coming

many of them actually

wide graduation said Tawake.
Departmental recognition
certificates will be given to
students who have completed
the major, Tawake said.
This year's English depart-
ment graduation is differ-
ent from previous years,
Tawake said, because the
administration is allowing
individual departments to
have receptions honoring their
students as long as they
do not wear academic
regalia.
"We weren't supposed to
do anything that would take
away from or detract from
student's attendance at the
university wide graduation
Tawake said.
Tawake said she feels
the conflict arose because
students in the past have
preferred to attend the smaller
departmental ceremonies.
Tawake said students
prefer the departmental
graduation ceremonies
because they are more

"To be able to get into other

deliverity health care he said.
The nursing school, with
an enrollment of 5S4, will also
move to the new building.
Both are state leaders id

the Office of the President of

The entrance to the Learning

is a concern.
Since allied health and nurs-

a significant overlap between

However, Bawtinhimer hoes it
will eliminate the onset of P'TSD
altogether. GlaxoSmithKline, the
makers of Paxil, are sponsoring
the study.
Along with his two assis-
tants from ECU's Clinical
Trials Office, Bawtinhimer
will begin his research when
they have the 20 participants
needed to gather enough data.
This, however, might be
one of the tougher aspects of
the work since many sexual
assault victims do not want to
be known.
"It's understandable
it's a very difficult time for
them victims but it's
an important study, and we
would appreciate anyone who
is able to come lorward and
participate in the study Baw-
tinhimer said.
Those who agree to par-
ticipate in the study will receive
$100, and research funding will
pay for any necessary lab work.
Patients involved in the study arc
not excluded from other forms
of treatment. Bawtinhimer said
his group would refer patients
to counselors and crisis centers
if necessary.
Bawtinhimer said there is
currently no published research
into the prevention of PTSD,
meaning there has only been
small, preliminary research per-
formed to see whether a larger
study is useful, but it could have
far-reaching benefits. Depending
On the results ot this research, a
much larger, multi-institutional
study might follow.

Our View
Lying about
health condi-
tions is not
only decep-
tive, but it
puts people
in need of
physical heal-
ing at risk for
developing
even worse
medical
conditions.
The University of Missouri-Columbia
collected enough pints of blood to earn
recognition from the Guinness Book of
Records as the largest single-site, single-
day blood collection five years ago.
This year, the university's efforts in blood
donation were recognized once again across
national headlines. This time, however, the
acknowledgment was not positive.
In an e-mail, sorority members were urged
by Christie Key, a fellow member and the
chapter's blood donation coordinator, to lie
if they'd had recent tattoos, piercings or ill-
nesses in order to boost numbers in a com-
petitive campus blood drive.
The e-mail, which reached 170 members,
read, "I don't care if you got a tattoo last week.
UE. I don't care if you have a cold. Suck it up.
We all do. UE. Recent piercings? LIE We're
not messing around. Punishment for not
giving blood is going to be quite severe
The purpose of blood donation, according to
the American Red Cross, is to protect life and
health and to ensure respect for the human
being. It promotes mutual understanding,
friendship, cooperation and lasting peace
among all peoples.
Lying about health conditions is not only
deceptive, but it puts people in need of
physical healing at risk for developing even
worse medical conditions.
Within her threats, Key has defined the pur-
pose of her sorority and many other Greek
affiliations - achieve success, no matter the
cost.
Members of dictating affiliations should
consider the value of their memberships in
comparison to their self worth. Does the group

Christmas declared illegal by Supreme Court
Groups aim to remove
all metions of "a deity"
from government
ANTHONY MCKEE
STAFF WRITER
lii a decision that has shocked
millions, the Supreme Court
today ruled that the observance ot
Christmas by government entities
is unconstitutional.
The ruling stemmed from a law-
suit brought jointly by civil liberties
groups, atheist organizations and
"Separation of Church and State"
groups that alleged closing govern-
ment offices for Christmas was the
equivalent of "establishment of a
state religion
The lawsuit was initially
brought by a single person, but
was later joined by various groups
who quickly formed a united front.
Opponents viewed this as part ol an
ongoing strategy to remove any ref-
erence to Cod in this country that
started decades ago with the deci-
sion banning prayer in schools.
Today's ruling means simply
that no government entity, from
federal to local, will be permitted
to observe Christmas.
The traditional lighting of the
Christmas tree on the White I louse
lawn is now illegal. No decorations
can festoon lampposts or buildings
across the nation that have been
erected or purchased by the local
governments.
Parades containing govern-
ment officials, police, firemen,
etc. in their official capacity will
no longer be allowed. Classrooms
cannot contain decorations. No
governmental office, courthouse
or legislative body anywhere will
close.
The president and Congress
have vowed that they will be at
work Dec. 25 as a sign of compli-
ance with the ruling.
The travel and retail indus-
tries will be the first, but not the
last, to take a hit. Governmental
workers will no longer have time
off to visit family and friends or to
do the last minute shopping that
makes or breaks many retailers.
Companies that do business
with the government will be
required to remain open, and
those employees will also be
unable to engage in the usual
Christmas activities. Families
with children will be especially-
hard hit.
Since schools will have to
remain open and children will
have to remain in day care. That
money, which many people Count
on for spending on presents or
travel, will now have to go to
child care.
Unfortunately, Christmas
will not be the only observance
Opinions In Brief
TEC EDITORIAL BOARD
Nowhere to go In
Greenville
Greenville is a college town,
so the college students want
somewhere to go so they are able
to have a good time with friends.
That's hard to find in Greenville
though. If you go downtown to
a club, you have to be dressed
in a certain dress code or have
a membership. The membership
part is what I don't get. None
of the clubs downtown are nice
enough to require people to
have memberships in order to
go Inside. I'm not going to pay to
get a membership to a club since
I don't go that often, but I think
that if 1 decide to go downtown,
I should be able to go to any club
that I want to without worrying
about a membership. What is the
point of having a membership? To
keep the "bad guys" out? If that is
the point, it doesn't work. I think
the clubs lose a lot of money In
requiring a membership, since
many people come to Greenville
to visit, go downtown expect ing to
go to a club and get rejected for not
having a membership. Even those
of us who I i ve here get rejected for
not having a membership. I could
understand having a membership
requirement if the club was elite,
but this is Greenville, so why not
let us in?
We may have
been able to prevent 911
This country has been through
enough over the last three and a
half years. In trying times, people
have to ask themselves what it is
that they can truly depend on.
Unfortunately, it doesn't look like
the answer is the government.
Last Thursday, Condoleezza
Rice testified in front of the 911
commission, a nonpartisan panel
studying what the federal gov-
ernment and its law enforcement
agencies knew about terrorist
threats in the country before the
attacks that killed nearly 3,000
people.
For those who missed the tes-
timony, the panel and the viewing
public was at once informed that
there was a I'DB (Presidential Daily
Briefing) titled "bin Laden wants
to strike in the U.S
Rice said that the document
did not warn of a strike in the
United States as much as the
document was a historical break-
down of other terrorist acts by
bin laden. Rice also testified that
she did not remember if she had
informed the president that there
were Al Qaeda sleeper cells in the
United States.
That is just a small portion of
the revelations unleashed in her
testimony.
If you folks want an Informed
opinion on the matter - and I'm
sure you do - it would be helpful
to read the whole thing for your-
self or catch the replay on C-Span
sometime soon.
The full transcript is not hard
to find with a basic scare h on the
net. Now. there are going to be
more than plenty of people who
will read up on the testimony and
decide that this administration is
the most courageous presidential
administration since Lincoln, and
there will be others saying that it
is the worst since Nixon.
When I heard the testimony,
though, I really felt let down. I
want to be able to say, like many,
that nobody could have done any-
thing to prevent the attacks on 9
11, but the more I learn about the
events leading up to the attacks,
(he more I think the administra-
tion dropped the ball.
Stewart's
retrial bid unnecessary
Martha Stewart, queen of
crafty do-it-yourself projects, is in
the spotlight again after she was
outlawed.
Easter can no longer be for-
mally observed. Governmental rec-
ognition of llanukkah, Ramadan,
Kwanzaa and any other religious
observances are now taboo.
Massive protests are occurring
in Washington, D.C. and several
major cities at this time. Further
protests are expected as the public
begins to fully understand the
ramifications of today's ruling.
This report is fictional, of
course. For now. Whether it
remains fictional is extremely
questionable.
There aptiears to lx- a concerted
effort from a very vocal minority to
remove any reference to God from
this country.
Anybody who doesn't
believe this need only look at
one of the current cases the
Supreme Court is deciding -
whether the words "under God"
in the Pledge of Allegiance are
a form of state-sponsored reli-
gion and therefore a violation
of the separation clause of the
Constitution.
This case was brought to Cali-
fornia by self-proclaimed radical
atheist Michael Newdow who, sup-
posedly on behalf ot his daughter,
is an active churchgoer. Newdow
filed suit despite lacking custodial
rights over his daughter, and his
right to sue was tenuous at best.
Newdow has been joined
in this action by - guess who
- the American Civil Liberties
Union, Americans United for
the Separation of Church and
State, and various atheist groups,
to name a few.
All are supporting Newdow
and are urging the Supreme Court
to rule in his favor. This is not the
first, nor will it be the last, time
that Newdow has filed suit.
According to reports, he filed
suit over the reference to Jesus in
President Bush's inaugural ceremo-
nies as well as against the House
and Senate who open every legis-
lative session with a prayer from
their private chaplains.
Ironically, in pursuing his case-
to the Supreme Court, Newdow is
arguing before a body that opens
all their sessions with a prayer also.
Not for long, if he has any say in
the matter.
Newdow stated bluntly
that his ultimate goal is to
remove any and all mention
of God (he actually said "a
deity") from government,
its symbols and all officials
performing any governmental
duties.
This includes the removal
of "In God We Trust" from all
U.S. money and banning the
singing of songs such as "God
Bless America" at any event on
government property (including
schools) or government-spon-
sored events.
As a case in pont, if this had
already happened, the stirring
sight of every available politician
singing "God Bless America" on
t he steps of Capitol 11 i 11 a f ter 911
would never have happened. It
would have been illegal, so would
the Easter break we just came
back from, as well as Christmas
and others.
That is Newdow's and his
allies' vision for America's future.
Is it yours?
accused by prosecutors of seeking
a new triaT after attempting to
humiliate a juror with informa-
tion about his past.
Prosecutors called Stewart's
actions "an assault on the jury
system itself
I am glad to see Stewart is Ix-ing
reprimanded for her actions.
Celebrities are far from per-
fect and should receive the same
penalties as normal citizens when
they break the law.
I need money
Every year, the FAFSA dictates
my life in the forthcoming year:
Where I'll live and what degree
of ghetto it'll lie in, what sort of
job I'll need to afford food, which
textbooks I'll have to forgo, how
I'll transport myself to school,
and so on
Somehow, I'm also chosen
for the process known as "veri-
fication which only prolongs
the stress related to determin-
ing these necessities of life. It's
just another annoyance in my
already too busy end-of-semester
rush, but this isn't my main beef
with the government's financial
aid process.
There are holes in establish-
ing how much aid a person is
eligible for. When applying to
colleges (based on affordability, of
course), all the financial aid books
I read gave this reassuring mantra:
Everyone can receive some kind of
aid, no matter your income.
So that means if Donald
Frump had a child, he or she could
get money from the government
to attend college. It's a good thing,
I guess - if Mr. Trump wanted to
instill a little independence in
his offspring and deter living off
his fortune forever, he could do
so without hindering his or her
access to higher education. .
Ibis scenario brings up an
interesting dilemma. Some fami-
lies - from low, middle and high
incomes-don't contribute to their
children's education at all.
However, there's no way to
indicate one's parents don't con-
tribute to college expenses, except
by declaring indeiendent status,
which takes much more time than
college kids have.
If the government really
wants to help its citizens afford
higher education, it should work
on streamlining the financial aid
process and making appropriate
disbursements to applicants based
on their unique situations.
Basketball hoops
increase crime?
To much dismay, I walked
down to the blacktop on Col-
lege Hill this week to shoot some
hoops - only to find the rims had
been taken down because, as 1 was
told, "they didn't want to attract
the wrong crowd How far is too
far?
Who is "they"? Who is the
"wrong crowd"? But, that's beside
the point: We now have security
guards, no privacy and no real
sense of security. Crime happens
on a large campus because it is
a light-security target and often
because alcohol is involved - not
because of anything students have
done.
So that's how we solve the
problem - if we quit shooting
basketball on the Hill, we'll stop
the violence. What a ridiculous
prevention method by the admin-
istration.
Fantasy sports?
Who came up with this idea of
Fantasy Sports? I think it is one of
the worst things ever conceived. It
doesn't matter how it's explained,
It's just another way to play games
like PlayStation and Xbox. Aren't
those games enough, especially
with the new technology of
online competition and Direct
TV? It seems this Fantasy Sports
thing is way out of control.

Scrubbing and a
sweeping - a part of
spring has sprung.
For your relief, many
Innovative products are
coming to the rescue to
save you from your cleaning
nightmares.
"I.ysol mildew remover is
fantastic. I simply spray and
all those unsightly mold pores
practically vanish said Jordan
Mills, junior geography major.
Toilets should he number
one on the cleaning priority
list. Your "porcelain God"
has seen more than it has
ever imagined. Thanks to the
Clorox Toilet Wand, you no
longer have to pick up a brush
ora bottle of cleaning solution.
The disposable toilet cleaning
system scrubs the mess and
releases the disposable brush
for a clean finish.
Random streaks on walls
and floors are another pain
to clean. Courtesy of Proctor
& Gamble, use the Mr. Clean
Magic Eraser and marks vanish.
Simply wet the foam pad, and
scrub away.
Once you discover it can
clean almost any smudge, speck
or dot, it's hard
to resist hunting
for more.
Wipes aren't
just for babies �
anymore. Once
the idea sparked to
marry wipes with cleaning prod-
ucts, it seems like every cleaning
company had a field day. There
are Pledge wipes for cleaning
wood surfaces, Clorox wipes for
disinfecting couritertops and
other surfaces and Windex wipes
for cleaning glass.
The floors of apartments
and houses can be nauseating. A
variety of mops are available with
disposable padding and attached
cleaning solution to scrub dirt
and grime in no time.
Each mop specializes in a
particular type of floor. The
Pledge Grab-It wipes clean wood
surfaces. Just stick a wet or dry
wipe to the bottom
and go.
The Swifter solution
dispenses liquid that is
mopped up with a special
pad. Throw away all of your old
mops and clean your floors with
the touch of a button.
Did you ever think clean-
ing the grout in your bathroom
and wine stains on your favorite
shirt had anything In common?
Thanks to the( lore Bleach Pen,
t hey do.
I he pen is designed to
bleach tiny spaces that are hard
to reach. Run the pen In between
tiles - it works like a charm on
grout. Grout goes from brown
to white in seconds. Away with
bleach and ruined clothes for a
sparkling finish.
"I think the bleach pen is
practical for cleaning the kitchen
and bathroom, but not practical
for clothing because it might
discolor the spot you used it
on said Erin Dehart, junior
communication major.
Taking out the trash leaves
you smelling pretty wicked.
Glad has a new trash bag called
"tresh protect bags They are
scented bags that leave trash
smelling surprisingly Iresh.
After all the hard work that
comes with household chores,
you'll need a pleasant fragrance
to top oil your clean home.
Glade has new scents and
Plug-ins, including clean linen,
lavender meadow and refresh-
ing apple. These and many other
scents from the company come
in air and carpel fresheners and
even candles.
Glade's newest invention
is the "scented oil fan which
leaves a room refreshed after
fanning scent through the
room. �
Be sure to look for these
new products before you start
your spring cleaning. You never
know what Innovations you'll
find just by venturing down the

ECULoessin Playhouse Quick Picks:Album Review

filled with sexpletives,
'The Rivals' is a comedy that takes place in the 1700s.
Witty play sure to
make audiences laugh
LISA TUMBARELLO
STAFF WRITER
ECUl.oessin Playhouse
presents its final production
of the year, The Rivals. K. It.
Sheridan's humorous English
play is making its first appear-
ance on the ECU stage and will
no doubt leave a lasting Impres-
sion in audiences' minds.
The witty comedy of The
Rivals pokes fun at its 18th cen-
tury time period while taking
the audience into a few differ-
ent plots.
Aside from the dueling lights
and outlandish costuming ot the
time period, all the entangled
pursuits ot relationships the
characters endure will reach
audiences on a personal level
and keep them entertained.
"Any good play has many
plots - it's the hallmark ot a
good piece said Jeff Wood-
ruff, managing director for
the Department of Theater and
Dance.
The Rivals is a story of
romance and the comical
lengths people endure for love.
The center of attention is Ihe
entangled affair between l.ydia
1.anguish and Captain Jack
Absolute.
l.ydia has concluded, much
to her family's disliking, that in
order to find true love, one must
abandon thoughts of wealth and
status. Thus, in order to win her
over, Captain lack Absolute dis-
guises himself as a poor naval
officer.
However, all becomes dis-
mayed when l.ydia's Aunl, Mrs.
Malaprop, becomes involved.
Upon discovering her niece's
involvement with a commoner,
she ai ranges uilh Sir Anthony
Absolute, Jack's father, to marry
the two.
This situation puts Jack
between a rock and a hard place
in the pursuit ol I ydia's love,
l.ydia disapproves of anyone her
aunt suggests.
Meanwhile, lack's friend,
Faulkland, has fallen in lovewlth
Julia, Sir Anthony's ward. Taulk-
land doubts Julia's love lor him
and subjects her to many prepos-
terous tests. They crush her trust
in the relationship and lead her
to end their engagement,

Janet Jackson's breast-baring
Super Bowl hall-time performance
holds he record for t he m st T'i Vo'd
moment is television history. Her
eighth album, Damita o garners a
similar -arental advisory stamped
- reaction. Tracks filled with funky
ix'ats, whispered expletives and sex
themed lyrics will have listeners
hitting the rewind button to clarify
and reinsure what they heard.
Surprisingly, Damita lo, debuted
at 2 on the Billboard top 100
-Janet's first album not to take
the 1 spot since her 1989 multi-
platinum Rhythm Nation - selling
just under 350,000 copies in the
first week.
Damita lo - Janet s middle
name - was largely produced by
Jimmy (am and Terry lewis, the
team behind her since 1986's
Control. And much like that breakout
album, Damita lo expresses Janet's
current frame of mind upbeat
and happy, Damita lo has more of
an RfcB sound than land's other
albums, which fall into more ot a
PopRKU category, The new sound
can be attributed to Kanye West,
partial album producer and the only
featured artist in Damita lo.
The album begins with the
upbeat title track thai gives the lis-
tener insight intoJanet, asa person.
This track is probably one of the
most well written on Ihe album,
and its "what did she say" lyrics are
omnipresent in this song and the
following track.
"Sexhibition which begins
with the lyrics "I wanna sexplore
you I wanna feel your sexplo-
sion, I'm gonna take you on a sex-
capade will certainly boost this
album's sales, and with its upbeal
rhythm and suggestive lyrics, it's
scxsational.
"Strawberry Bounce" is hip,
upbeat and has one of Ihe album's
more RisH sounds. Produced by
hit maker West, the song features
a cameo sample from Jay two
ingredients that make this trac k
a smash Hut it's the whispered
expletives thai will make you hit
-cvWvl
rewind. It's odd. but this song lakes
the punch out of otherwise vulgar
words.
Combining Janet's breathy
vocals and West's sharp rap, "My
Baby" has a smooth lullaby vibe
that can't be overlooked,
"All Nite (Don't Stop)" opens
with Janet whisering "this is sick
and thai pretty much sums up the
track featuring great lyrics and a
crazy Ixxit set ry a bass guitar.
The pure disco, "oldskool" eal
ol "RisiB Junkie" will propel you
back lo a time of skate parties and
colored Reeboks. This funky track
would make anyone get out of his or
her seat and hit I he dance floor.
Down tempo "Thinkin' Bout
My Ex a collaboration with RtsB
great, Bahyface, shows of I Janet's
vocals and feature lyrics that are
autobiographical.
"Warmth" and "Moist are,
if you think about it, just what
they sound like. But in case you're
having trouble, the choruses include
words like "erect "up and dow n"
and "lust
The alburn ends with the
already released single "Just A Little
While which, in the context of
Ihe other tracks, seems out ol place.
Vou may be left waiting for a bidden
I i.ii kor another one ol the six prior
interludes to close the album.
All told, with 22 tracks and just
over 65 minutes of music. Damita
lo is one ot Janet's most inviting
albums. Its feet thumping beats
and funky lyrics make the album
well worth the pure base

In Family Vacation, the Johnson family travels to a family reunion, causing lots of laughs.
'Family Vacation'offers
fun family comedy
TOMEKASTEELE
STAFF WRITER
fohnton Faintly Vacation is .
wonderful comedy for families
to enjoy this spring.
The cast includes some
of the latest top celebri-
ties. Making a splash in the
film is lead actor Cedric The
F.ntertainer.
Odric's character is Nate
Johnson, a devoted father who
is having problems with his
wile, Horothy Johnson (Vanessa
Williams).
Naic and Dorothy round up
their three children, and they
embark on a vacation they'll
never forget.
lamed teen and child celeb-
rities play the roles of their
children.
Making her film debut is Sol-
ange Knowles (Nikki Johnson)
who just released her first album
titled Solo Stiir. She plays a sassy
teen who enjoys being the eldest
child.
How Wow also plays a part
in this soon-to-be family clas-
sic Bow Wow has a successful
rapping career and, as such, his
character(DJJohnson) aspires to
be a famous rapper.
The youngest child is hoik
other than Gabby Soleil, who
has been featured in many hit
sitcoms.
Her character, Destiny John-
son, is the cute baby of the family
whose endearing smile will
always get things done her way.
The family packs up in a
pimped-out SUV and drives
from California to Missouri for
the Johnson family reunion.
On the way there,
they encounter a strange
hitchhiker (Shannon Elizabeth
From American Pit) and many
car troubles.
At every stop along
the way, something funny
happens. The Johnson
family aims to win the prie
trophy for "best lamily" at the
reunion and must pull off some
interesting stunts in
order to arrive at the reunion as
a group.
Nate's older brother, Mack
Johnson, (Steve Harvey) is bent on
winning the trophy for his family
and proving to Nate that he's
mama's favorite son.
Johnson Family Vacation
is the debut film for Direc-
tor Christopher Erskin, who
does a great job portraying
hardships while trying to
maintain a close, loving family.
Erskin has directed many music
videos for artists such as Tl.C,
Missy Elliot and Boys II Men.
Johnson Family Vacation is
comedy-packed and the perfect
movie for a family get-together,
even though anyone can enjoy
it and leave knowing what
family is all about. The cast is
explosive and does a dynamic
job on this disastrous, out-of-
control trip.
The Bottom line: With a
talented cast of celebrities and
a down-tO-earth theme, Johnson
Family Vacation is a guaran-
teed hit. Family is a wonder-
ini concept and hits everyone
on a personal level. The film is
also the epitome of tunny and
has its audience laughing the
entire way.

(KRT) � Once "The Appren-
tice" got down to its final two
candidates, Donald Trump
wanted to see his potential future
employees fate some real stress.
He got his wish, thanks to
executive producer Mark Burnett.
"Donald wants to see them

Following the elimination of
sort-of lovebirds Amy I lenry and
Nick Warnock in the penultimate
episode, Harvard MBA, Kwame
Jackson, and cigar entrepreneur,
Bill RanciCi were left to take on
jobs that directly affect aspects of
Trump's business. Rancic was put
in charge of a golf tournament
bearing Trump's name, while
Jackson had to oversee a Jessica
Simpson concert at Trump's Taj
Mahal casino in Atlantic City.
How they do will help
determine the winner in Thurs-
day's live, two-hour finale.
Instead of uttering the show's
catchphrase "You're fired
Trump will tell either Jack-
son or Rancic "You're hired
As of last week, when Trump
and Burnett talked to reporters
about the show, Trump hadn't
decided whet her he would cln N ISC

Trump also hasn't decided
which part of his empire
he'll have the winner run.

Local bands to rock

Art Lords, Battle

Entertainment Committee is at
It again wtth another greet Pirate
Underground performance ly
Battle Koalas and Art Lords of a
Sell Portrait.
Art Lords of a Sell Portrait
is a band of ECU art students
who played here recently in
the Battle of the Bands at Pirate
Underground.
Sam Herring, the lead
singer and "Art Lord fronts the
group with "self-portraits" Adam
Bebe, William Cushion and (ierrit
Weliners.
"Art Lords are great guys,
and they put on a great show
salil lessicaOdom, junior apparel
merchandising major.
Battle Koalas of Greensboro,
NC, includes the Vickland
Brothers that have been a band
lor about a year. Neither band
has a record contract nor are
they nationally known.
However, they either have a
solid local tan base or are trying
10get their music out to people.
Both bands have a unique
description - new wave dance
performance
"Performance music - there
is a 'performance' that goes
along with theirsongs. It'sagwd
show and incredibly entertain-
ing. If you like unique music, this
is the show for you said
Amanda Trail, Popu-
lar Entertainment chair.
Many of the Pirate Under-
ground performers want sup-
port and appreciation among
their peers.
"I really encourage
anyone who hasn't come out
to one of the Underground's
shows to check it out. All the
concerts are free, and with
the diversity in music, there is
something for everyone Trail
said.
"Beyond that, we support
comedy acts and competitions
as well - Battle of the Bands,
freestyle competition and break
dancing competition. The Pirate
Underground keeps getting
better and better
Pirate Underground is
responsible for bringing local as
well as up-and-coming bands
from all over the nation to ECU.
A wiile variety of musicians who
might already be well-known
come to play for students, such
as Pretty (iirls Make Graves and
Justincase, who are starting to
gain recognition.
A college campus audience
is ideal tor most of these hands.
Word of mouth through diverse
groups of people with open
minds help to spread fast pub-
licity about performers.
"The Pirate Underground is
now a credible concert venue
in North Carolina. The Stu-
dent Union Popular Entertain-
ment Committee supports a
concert series that takes place
in the Underground once
or twice a week Trail said.
"We are not just a venue,
but also an entire committee of
students that choose what music
COtneS here and sets up and pro-
duces the concerts themselves
"There is diversity in the
music that is chosen to per-
form. We have had everything
from hip-hop to country to
rock 'n' roll and everything
in between. We have fea-
tured local acts and nation-
ally touring acts this year
Underground attendance
has been double this year than
in years past. More and more,
students seem to be taking
advantage of what ECU is offer-
ing in entertainment.
"The atmosphere is cool
and it's nice that ECU can
access something like new
bands for free said Ashley
Adams, a junior science educa-
tion major.
"The bands are still under-
ground, but not always local,
which is refreshing

dueling for l.ydia's love. When
Jack is called to fight imaginary
characters to win over a girl who
has already rejected him, l.ydia
becomes worried.
She suspends the duels and
confesses her love for Jack. At
the same time, Julia forgives
laulkland for his doubts.
Throughout the entire
unraveling of relationships,
all the characters' true iden-
tities have been shown and
manage to be the saving
factor in salvaging all the rela-
tionships.
In The Rivals, Sheridan
is able to amplify the natu-
ral faults of his characters,
thus making for very comedic
and amusing situations.
He mostly exaggerates Mrs.
Malaprop's stumble of
words.
The term "malapropism"
was coined from this play.
Mrs. Malaprop never ceases to
find the wrong word In her
authorization of the English
language.
All in all, I he Rivals is a
play that will appeal to all ages.
Students will be most likely to
identify with the story because
of its attention to the trials of
dating.
Everyone likes for their sig-
nificant others to meet certain
criteria. This play certainly dem-
onstrates that you don't always
need to check off everyone.
"The story of The Rivals
seems like something
that will directly relate to
my life, even though it is
set a long time ago said
Jessica Upchurch, sophomore
elementary education major.
The stellar costuming
and scenery is sure to keep
audiences visually amused
while the musical wit of
English dialogue keeps them
phonetically attentive.

Academic Computing Environment
What is it? ,
ACE is a campus-wide effort addressing the support of
student technology in the academic environment.
Beginning in the fall of 2004, specific academic programs
will begin requiring or strongly recommending their
students to own a computer. The degree programs vary on
when the computer will be required within the life of the
program.
In response to these requirements and recommendations,
the ACE program has a selected vendor(s) and models it
will support. We believe these models will bring quality and
value to our students.
ACE will provide training and troubleshooting for students
who purchase one of the low-priced, select models.
Purchasing a computer for students NOT enrolled in a
requiring program is OPTIONAL. However, any student can
take advantage of the special pricing and available
support. ��

Gordon entering NBA draft
Connecticut guard Ben Gordon is forgoing his senior year and making
himself eligible for the NBA Draft, The Journal News ol New York reported
Wednesday. The Hartford Courant also reported on its website Gordon
will turn pro. Gordon, projected as a possible Top 10 selection, will make
the announcement in Storrs. Conn on Wednesday. He averaged a team-
leading 18.5 points for the Huskies and helped lead them to the national
title "It's time Gordon told The Journal News. 1 had a great experience
at UConn, but I'm ready for what's next I knew this is what I wanted from
the beginning of the season, so why wait?" UConn coach Jim Calhoun
has said Gordon is ready for the NBA. To be eligible for the June 24 draft,
an underclassman must send a letter to the NBA by May 10. A player with
eligibility remaining who has not signed with an agent must withdraw
from draft consideration by June 17 to return to his college team. In the
NCAA Tournament, Gordon averaged 21 2 points in six games. Gordon's
teammate Emeka Okafor is also facing a decision about whether to skip
his senior season The junior center will graduate early this May and has
hinted at entering the NBA Draft.
UCLA freshman forward Ariza to enter NBA Draft
UCLA forward Trevor Ariza is entering the NBA Draft after just one season
with the Bruins, the school said Tuesday. The 18-year-old Ariza, who made
the Pac-10's all-freshman team, is the second UCLA underclassman eying
a move to the pros Last week, swingman Dijon Thompson, the leading
scorer at 14.4 points, said he will declare himself eligible for the NBA. To
be eligible for the June 24 draft, an underclassman must send a letter by
May 10 to the NBA. A player with eligibility remaining who has not signed
with an agent must withdraw from draft consideration by June 17 to return
to his college team. Thompson could return for his senior year, but UCLA
has released Ariza from his scholarship, making him eligible to transfer
should he decide to return to college. The 6-7, 205-pound Ariza started
23 of 25 games and was the Bruins' No. 3 scorer with 11.6 points a game
and No 2 rebounder at 6.5 a game He also led UCLA in steals, averaging
1.68, had an assist average of 21. and shot 42.6 percent - 237 percent
from 3-point range
Wolf leaves consulting job with Browns
Ron Wolf resigned as a part-time personnel consultant to the Cleveland
Browns on Tuesday, less than three months after being hired by the club.
Wolf, who built the Green Bay Packers into a Super Bowl champion, said
his decision to leave the Browns was tied into Carmen Policy's resignation
as team president Policy announced last week that he was stepping down
as president and chief executive. After the Browns went 5-11 last season,
they hired the 65-year-old Wolf In January to assist them in evaluating
their current roster and to plan for next week's college draft Wolf worked
from his home in Maryland, reviewing game tapes and video of potential
draft picks. The Browns had also asked Wolf for his opinion before they
decided to replace quarterback Tim Couch by signing free agent QB Jeff
Garcia. However, coach Butch Davis dismissed Wolf's input during the
recent NFL meetings. Wolf was asked if Davis' comments had angered him
"I was just a part-time guy. so he could use me any way that he wanted
to Wolf replied.
Frank will become full-time Head Coach
New Jersey Nets interim coach Lawrence Frank will be back with the team
next season, the New York Daily News reported Wednesday. Frank will have
the interim tag lifted after the season, no matter how the Nets do in the
playoffs, three anonymous sources told the newspaper. Team president
Rod Thorn also is expected to negotiate a new contract for Frank, according
to a source The team holds an option until June 30 to bring Frank back
next season Thorn, who has praised Frank's preparation and coaching
ability, would neither confirm nor deny the decision. Frank, 33, set a record
for major professional sports in North America by starting his coaching
career 13-0 when he replaced the fired Byron Scott on Jan. 26. Since the
fast start, the Nets (47-34) are just 12-14 under Frank, but hold the No 2
seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs as the Atlantic Division champs
The players have made it clear that they want Frank to be the team's coach
next season. The Nets end the regular season Wednesday at Miami. The
NBA playoffs begin Saturday and New Jersey will open the postseason by
hosting either New York or New Orleans.
Williams ruling delayed to Thursday
A ruling in the Jayson Williams manslaughter trial was put off until Thursday
morning due to a death in the family of the lead prosecutor of the retired
NBA star. Court had been expected to convene Tuesday afternoon for
a decision on a dismissal rpotion by the defense, which charged that
prosecutorial misconduct regarding evidence had deprived Williams of
a fair trial. Prosecutors maintained that the error, late disclosure of notes
and photographs from one of their proposed witnesses, was inadvertent.
The trial over the shooting of a hired driver, which began Feb. 10, was
suspended over the dispute on April 1, just as lawyers were crafting their
summations. State Superior Court Judge Edward M. Coleman gave the
defense over a week to evaluate the new evidence, and heard testimony
and arguments on the dismissal motion Monday The jury has not heard
live testimony since March 30.
The UNC-W match up was officially called off due to rain by the start of the fourth inning with the Seahawks up 1-0.

Bulls in the opener, 6-4, behind
Trevor Lawhorn's sixth homerun

through eight and one third
innings. The Pirates cruised 10-

following day.

Pirates prepare
for summer
ROBERT LEONARD
STAFF WRITER
After ending the 2003
campaign with a heartbreak-
ing and season-ending loss to
Charlotte, the women's soccer
team heads into spring ready to
compete. They knew with the
returning players next season a
successful spring could catapult
them into a very successful 2004
season.
Mission accomplished.
After eight games, the Pirates
are 7-0-1. The most impressive
stat is the one goal allowed in
their eight games. The Pirates
have beat NC State 4-0, nation-
ally ranked Florida 2-1 and Duke
1-0. The Florida and Duke wins
were part of a tournament held
in layetteville, where the Pirates
took the crown.
Head Coach Rob Donnen-
wirth was very excited about
how spring was looking.
"We've had a good attitude all
spring Donnenwirth said.
"And the rewards are starting
to pay off
Donnenwirth was very happy
with the play of Carmen Calpo,
Sarah Stoltz and Krystel Pabey.
Donnenwirth was especially
pleased with Meghan McCal-
lion, the team's leading scorer
last season.
"The whole group Calpo,
Stoltz, Pabey and McCalllon has
been great Donnenwirth said.
"But Meghan has stepped up
to a new level
I he primary concern coming
into the spring for Donnenwirth
was on the defensive side of the
field � all of the seniors from the
2003 squad were defenders.
With t he progress ol his team,
especially on the defensive side,
Donnenwirth has been very
pleased.
"Spring is more a develop-
mental time Donnenwirth
said.
"The wins are great, hut we're
really not going for them
With only two more games
left, one a 7-on-7 match with
UNC-Wilmington and an
alumni match, the team is pre-
paring for summer. Donnenwirth
noted how fit the girls are and
hopes it only gets better over the
summer.
"Our level of fitness improves
every year Donnenwirth said.
"The girls don't only do it lot
their own personal goals, but for
the team. Everyone on the team
expects everyone else to work just
as hard as they are
The match against UNC-W
will take place in Wilming-
ton on Saturday, April 17, and
the Alumni game will be in
Greenville on April 24.

Detroit Red Wings having scored
only six goals in four games were
swept by Anaheim in the first
round last season.
Now he's got it back as the
Wings having scored only six
Ko.ils in four games are in a 2-2
tie with the Nashville Predators
in the first round.
The irony must not be lost
on him.
At practice Wednesday, when
coach Dave Lewis announced
Joseph would replace Manny
Legate as the starting goaltender
Thursday night in dame S, Joseph
was asked whether he could pro-
vide a spark. "Well he said, "I'm
not going to score any goals
The Wings are coming oil
li.uklo-back losses that looked
a lot like the four straight losses
they suffered last year, when they
peppered goaltender Jean-Sebas-
tien (iiguere but couldn't put the
pink past him, when they made
a few mistakes and the Mighty
Ducks capitalized.
Although they outshot the
Predators, 8.1-41, in dames 3 and
4, they were outscored, 6-1.
Legate was hard on himself.
Asked whether he was taking
too much of the blame, he said:
"No. Not at all. I didn't get the
job done "
But Joseph defended Legate
much like he defended himself
last year. He said Steve Sullivan
probably would have scored on
Wings legend Terry Sawchuk
with the move he made on
Legate to finish a breakaway
Tuesday night. "I don't think
Manny could be faulted for any
of the goals Joseph said. "He
played great
"It's difficult to get in the flow
when you don't get a lot ol shots
. we've just got to play better and
try and get to their goalie
Although .Joseph was less
than outstanding last year and
legate wasn't at his lust the last
two games, goaltending wasn't
the Wings' only issue then and
it's not close to their main issue
now.
The Wings ranked second
in goals and fifth on the powei
play during the regular season
and have added one of the
league's leading scorers, Robert
Lang. They're facing a team
that ranked lOth-worst in goals
allowed and seventh-worst on
the penalty kill. Still, the Wings
aren't scoring I heir power play is
l-for-20and that goal Came on a
lucky bounce.
Asked which ol the Wings'
problems most concerned him.
Lewis said: "Well, it would be
one to score a goal
Then there are penalties and
breakdowns I ewis said he might
make other moves Thursdav
night, "looking for a complete
g.ime
Hut goaltending can make
the biggest difference, and
Lewis started there. Despite
the Wings' dalliance with
Dominik llasek coming out of
retirement, loseph is still their
SH-million man. He still has 58
playofl v ietoriev
"I'm putting Curtis in because
we want to get a win, I want to
change some things Lewis said.
" urlis has got tremendous expe-
rlence, he knows how to deal with
the pressure and this is a perfect
situation for him to be in
After sitting out all but five
games since lib. II because of
ankle problems, loseph played the
last 17: So on Tuesday, He stopped
all nine shots he faced.

ficult spot, because not only did
he go into the third period, but
at the time our team was taking
a lot of chances and leaving him
a little bit vulnerable forward
Brendan Shanahan said.
loseph has been put into a
pretty difficult spot again. As
he knows all too well, for him
to do a good job, his teammates
will probably have to do a good
job, too. ,
"It'sabcst-two-out-of-three

ECU tennis teams compete in
Conference USA tournament
Men, women see
tough competition
ERIC GILMORE
STAFF WRITER
The men and women's tennis
team will travel to Memphis, TN
and Louisville, KY respectively
to compete in the Conference
USA Tennis Tournament today.
The separate tournaments
begin at noon and last until
Sunday.
The men's tennis team holds
the seventh seed and will take-
on C-USA rival Del'aul at 1
p.m. ECU (13-S) will take on
the Blue Demons (1311) for
the first time this season. The
winner will advance to take on
No. 27 ranked Tulane, who has
the top ranked C-USA player in
Michael Kogan. I he Israeli native
is ranked No. 13 in the nation,
according to I'I'A.
ECU will have to concentrate
on certain singles flights in order
to pick up the win. Chad Meyer
holds a resounding 16-8 record at
the first flight and a team leading
3-1 in C-USA play. Mark Hender-
son, the top Blue Demons' player,
has a dismal 5-10 record and 3-3
in conference.
Coach Tom Morris will study
ami probably continue to tweak
his line-up. Morris can use a
number of players interchange-
ably.
Felipe Fonseca, Mark Gel-
laid and Darren Mansell have
all seen matches at flights three,
four and five, t.ellard posts
the best record in conference,
going undefeated at 3-0. Gerard
Ga Undo will most likely rake the
sixth flight as he holds a 10-2
record. The sixth High! serves as
a tiebreaker if needed but is not
counted otherwise.
Del'aul will be different
from the light out ol conference
schedule the Pirates have raced
this year, George Wang and Sam
Davidson are two players that the
Pirates will have to deal with.
Morris will need a game plan
for the players that hold 21-9
and 19) records overall.
Wang usually plays at the
third flight with Davidson at
the fourth. However, the Blue
Demons fall significantly off,
as four players from fligbls
three lower don't hold winning
records.
In order for the Pirates to
advance to face the Green Wave,
they are going to have to pick up
some doubles matches. These
matches have been a struggle
for the Pirates throughout the
season. The best bet to pick up
points is going to be with the
teams ol Paulo Baumer and Nick
Rose or I'onseca and Gellard.
The women's team will have
their hands full with a red hot
Charlotte team, which starts at
3 p.m. The Charlotte women
have won eight straight matches
while the ECU women were just
swept by the Richmond Spiders.
The winner will advance to take
on No. 13 ranked and top seed
Tulane. The Green Wave (21-1)
sports four top 100 players in
the nation. That match will take
place at noon on Friday, leaving
the loser to play at 6 p.m. on
Friday.
The ECU women will have to
watch out for Charlotte freshman
and team MVP Kathy Robey, who
holds a team-best of 23 wins and
has won eight straight matches.
ECU will counter with Raluca
Baicu or Kristin Buchannan.
The two have combined to
go 13-13 at the top flight, but
it might be a struggle behind
them. The problem occurs
with the fifth and sixth flights
along with the third flights in
doubles. Sara Boseman has a
3-10 record at the fifth flight,
while Ashley Perkinson is 0-12
at the sixth. The women are a
combined 2-7 in C-USA.
The double elimination
tournament will provide
a stage for the men's and
women's teams to shine. The
championship games will
be held at noon and 11 a.m.
respectively on Sunday, with the
finalists of the loser's bracket
vying for third.

Doherty says he won't begrudge Roberts
(KRT) � Matt Doherty had
dreams, too.
They included visions of a
New York basketball community
that rallied behind the St. John's
program. It came replete with a
national championship and a
parade through the Canyon of
Heroes.
"1 see St. John's as a place with
infinite possibilities and 1 am
disappointed that I won't have
the chance to lead it back to the
elite Doherty said Tuesday.
"I could have another coach-
ing job right now, but I wanted to
be at St. John's. It was a good fit
and has all kinds of potential to
be something spectacular
Doherty said he would not
begrudge Norm Roberts as the
choice. The former North Caro-
lina and Notre Dame coach was
so impressed with Roberts that
he tried to hire him to be an
assistant coach for the lighting
Irish.
During the agonizingly
long search for a new coach at
St. John's, Doherty spent a lot
of time as the presumed leader.
He felt confident enough about
his chances to turn down James
Madison's job offer. And li is can-
didacy had the influential back-
ing of the basketball program's
biggest financial boosters.
Tuesday at 8 a.m he got a call
from St. John's AD I ave Wegrzyn
with the news he would not be
the choice. He asked tot the
chance to speak with the Rev.
Donald J. Harrington, but the
university president said lues-
day he hadn't had the chance
to call.
"I don't want anyone to get
the wrong impression, that 1 am
angry or hurt, because I got noth-
ing hut positive feelings from the
people at St. John's he said.
"I was flattered by their inter-
est in me
Doherty isn't the only victim
of the St. John's coaching search
and the political warfare it
brought out from the factions
that backed an assortment of
candidates. There are others
most notably Manhattan's
Bobby Gonzalez and Memphis'
Johnalipari who sustained
some damage, whether intended
or not.
That Gonzalez was fre-
quently discussed by members
of the search committee and not

There are whispers about
flaws in his swing, his conviction
to golf, and his once all-consum-

Things have gotten so bad
that Woods vomited after the

claimed it was because of a bad
