Board selects media heads for 2004-05
Campus radio station
awaits new leadership
PETER KALAJIAN
STAFF WRITER
The student and faculty
Media Board met Thursday
In closed session to appoint
new leadership for the four
student media organizations at
ECU.
The nine-member board
interviewed applicants vying for
the position of editor-in-chief
of The East Carolinian, general
manager of both Kxpressions and
The Rebel and station manager
of WZMH.
"All the applicants were well-
qualified said Ian Baer, student
body president and chairman of
the Media Board.
"Everyone had good experi-
ence. The interview played a
role in our decision, but when
taking on a role in one of
these jobs, experience is key.
1 think we made the right deci-
sions
For the position of editor-in-
chief at TEC, two students, both
of whom currently hold positions
there, applied for the job to take
over when Michelle Mci eod,
the current editor, graduates
in May.
Tanesha Sistrunk, a second-
degree Art major and current
photo editor at TEC, was one of
the applicants.
"I want to continue the
growth of this paper. I want
ECU students to reconnect with
us said Sistrunk.
"Much of that contact has
been lost over the years. Reader-
ship is not as high as we would
like, and The East Carolinian
should give students the ability
to voice their opinions, I think
my management experience
and outgoing personality could
really help in this effort
Running against Sistrunk
was Amanda Lingerfelt, junior
communication major and cur-
rent features editor at TEC.
"We've built a strong foun-
dation at TEC over the last year
said lingerfelt.
"I would continue to
improve on that foundation.
Staff training and organization
are extremely important to me,
and getting more students to
read the paper should be our
ALEXANDER
ultimate goal
After the Interview process,
the Board offered the position
of TEC's editor-in-chief to Lin-
gerfelt. She will assume her mu
position at the end of the spring
semester.
Media Board members
redacted Michael Ashby, the cur-
rent general manager ot Expres-
sions, the on-campus minority
magazine to the managerial
post.
"With Expressions, we hope
to always be presenting new
LINGERFELT
information to our readers, and
I would really like to incorporate-
more minority perspectives said
Ashby.
"We want a mosaic ol this
campus represented, not just two
or three groups. That is probably
my main focus with the paper
Jason Alexander, senior
communication major, was also
reconfirmed to continue his
position as general manager of
the yearly ECU literary journal,
The Rebel
And although the Media
ASHBY
Board interviewed several
applicants for the station
manager of the student radio
station, WZMB, the board
failed to elect a person to the
position.
Citing the need for more
time to consider the applicants,
board members will make their
final decision Tuesday, April
27, at their weekly meeting in
Mcndcnhall.

International
Fest returns
to Greenville
Event features tastes,
sounds, sights of
foreign cultures

STAFF WRITER
The smell of Japanese yaki-
tori chicken and spicy Mexi-
can tamales mixed with salsa
music transformed Town
Commons from a sedate,
river-side park into a busy,
international hub Saturday
afternoon
Bright sun and tempera-1
tures near 80 degrees brought
the crowds out for Greenville's
International Fest.
Walkways overflowing
with people were difficult to
navigate. Luckily, there was room
to stretch out in the grass in
front of the amphitheater and
listen to Jamaican story tellers or
the mariachi band.
Local businesses, such as
Swiss Chalet and El Ranchlto,
brought food to the event, which
seemed to be one of the biggest
draws among the crowd.
"I just wanted to see what
kind of countries' foods they
would have said Greenville
resident Rosemary Winn.
Other visitors were pulled
in when they heard about the
event in local media.
"I heard about it on the radio,
and my friend invited me so
I thought I would come said
Diane Nelson, another local
resident.
Crafts such as handmade
Argentinean tables, chairs, figu-
rines and other ethnic goods,
such as Jamaican shirts, were
available for purchase.
Kids could participate in the
action with a children's origami
booth setup to teach them the
decorative paper art form.
This is the first time in two
years the International festival
has livened up downtown.
The celebration of the
area's international diver-
sity disappeared after 2001,
when a lack of funding prevented
it from happening in 2002 and
2003,
But this year, with grants
from organizations like Uptown
Greenville, Pitt County and
ECU united to make sure the
festival's absence did not continue-
to three years.
"The city was the primary
sponsor in previous years and
really did not have the money
to do it, but they have since
received the money, and it was
budgeted out for them to
have the festival this year said
Bill Mallett, international student
adviser at the International
I louse
ECU had a hand in the orga-
nization and funding of the
event, and Mallet said Pat Dunn,
Ph.D a Greenville city council
menibcr-at-large and faculty
member in ECU's Department
of Health Education, played
an integral role in bringing
it about.
There were also a number of
campus organizations that got
involved.
"II' Student Union brought
in a Caribbean steel drum band
International Affairs helped out
sponsoring, but we consid-
ered it a whole ECU effort
Mallett said.
He said that the German
Club and Chinese Student
Association were involved. The
Education Club and School
of Social Work showed up
to highlight education and
social work around the
globe.

Appeals bench reduces
sentence in only Balkan
genocide conviction
THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) - The
UN. war crimes tribunal reduced the
prison sentence of a Bosnian Serb
general convicted of genocide by 11
years to 35 years in a decision that
could influence future cases.
Radislav Krstic, 56. was sentenced in
August 2001 to 46 years in prison for
playing a pivotal role in the slaughter
of at least 7,500 Bosnian Muslim
men in the UN -protected zone of
Srebrenica during one blood-soaked
week in July 1995
So far the only Balkan war criminal
convicted of genocide, he appealed
in November on several grounds,
asking in particular that the court
clarify its definition of genocide
The appeals chamber, whose
decision is final, overturned Krstic's
conviction as a "principle perpetrator"
of genocide and lowered his prison
term after determining that he
was guilty of "aiding and abetting
genocide a lesser crime that was not
included in his original Indictment.

National Public Radio
Senior Correspondent Juan

and his significance in the
Hrown v. Hoard of Educa-

to the desegregation of

Turner said Marshall served
as one of the Supreme Court
justices when the Hrown v. Hoard

on May 17, 1954.
Williams' lecture focused
on Marshall's key role in
establishing equality among

other than being the first African-

During the lecture, Wil-

Bush bemoans pullOUt Of Kerry criticizes Bush's ability to
Spanish troops from Iraq build international relationships
WASHINGTON (AP) �
President Bush scolded Spain's
new prime minister Monday
tor his swift withdrawal
of troops from Iraq and told him
to avoid actions that givu "false-
comfort to terrorists or enemies
of freedom in Iraq
Hush expressed his views
in a five-minute telephone
call with Prime Minister Jose
Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, who
on Sunday ordered
the 1,300 troops
to ret urn honieas soon as possible.
Zapatero placed the call
to Bush and the president
"expressed his regret to Presi-
dent Zapatero about the deci-
sion to abruptly announce the
pullout of Spanish troops from
Iraq White House press secre-
tary Scott McClellan said.
"The president urged that the

minister for taking troops out of Iraq
does not put at risk other coali-
tion forces in Iraq McClellan
said.
"The president stressed
the importance of carefully
considering future actions to
avoid giving false comfort to
terrorists or enemies of freedom
in Iraq McClellan said.
Separately, Sen. John
Kerry, the presumptive Demo-
cratic nominee for president,
also deplored Spain's move.
"I regret Prime Min-
ister Zapateros decision
Kerry said.
"Spain and all the world
have an interest in rebuilding
an Iraq that is not a haven for
terrorists and a failed state. I had
hoped the prime minister
would have reconsidered his
position, and I hope that in the
days ahead the United States
and the world can work with
him to find a way to keep Spain
engaged in
the efforts in
Iraq
"Rather than
losing partners,
I believe its criti-
cal that we find
new coalition part-
ners to share the
burden in Iraq
Kerry said.
"We need
to offer to
share responsi-
bilities with the
United Nations,
NATO and others,
so they will
work with us in
Iraq to achieve
security, stability,
and freedom
Zapatero issued
the recall on Sunday
just hours after his
government was
sworn in. He said
there was no sign
the United States would meet
his demand for United Nations
control of the postwar occu-
pation - his ultimatum
for keeping troops there.
Zapatero's Socialist party
won the March 14 general
election amid allegations that
outgoing Prime Minister Jose
Maria Aznar, by backing the
war in Iraq, had provoked
commuter-train terrorist
bombings that killed 191
people three days before the
vote.
Though Zapatero, a 43-year-
old lawyer and career politi-
cian, had promised to remove
Spanish troops, his immediate
action was a setback for the
United States, which has been
eager to portray the effort in
Iraq as an international cause
even though it is dominated
by its 130,000 American
troops.
Spain's foreign minister,
Miguel Moratinos Moratinos,
is to travel to Washington
to discuss the dispute with
Secretary of State Colin Powell.
He was scheduled to leave Tues-
day.
McClellan refused to
characterize the tone of the
two leaders' exchange, but
Bush's words were
unusually sharp by any
standard.
Asked if the discussion
was chilly or businesslike,
McClellan said, "No, look, I
think we've made it very clear
we'll continue to work with
Spain in the war on terrorism.
Obviously the president

Duke looking for ways to get
students to sleep more
DURHAM (AP) - Duke University is
trying to come up with a way to help
sleep-deprived college students
who survive on a mix of caffeine,
adrenaline and ambition.
The school is eliminating 8 am
classes because so few students
are interested in taking them and
is considering new orientation
programs this fall that would help
freshmen understand the importance
of sleep.
Lack of sleep among college
students is an old problem, but one
that appears to be getting worse,
according to some national surveys.
College students sleep an average
of six to seven hours a night, down
from seven to seven and a half
in the 1980s. Last month, college
administrators gathered at the
University of Michigan for a national
conference on sleep, stress,
depression and college students
Sleep deprivation can hurt academic
performance and incease stress

Appeals bench reduces
sentence in only Balkan
genocide conviction
THE HAGUE. Netherlands (AP) - The
UN. war crimes tribunal reduced the
prison sentence of a Bosnian Serb
general convicted of genocide by 11
years to 35 years in a decision that
could influence future cases.
Radislav Krstic, 56. was sentenced in
August 2001 to 46 years In prison for
playing a pivotal role in the slaughter
of at least 7,500 Bosnian Muslim
men in the UN-protected zone of
Srebrenica during one blood-soaked
week in July 1995
So far the only Balkan war criminal
convicted of genocide, he appealed
in November on several grounds,
asking in particular that the court
clarify its definition of genocide
The appeals chamber, whose
decision is final, overturned Krstic's
conviction as a "principle perpetrator"
of genocide and lowered his prison
term after determining that he
was guilty of "aiding and abetting
genocide a lesser crime that was not
included in his original Indictment.
Israel says It will invests tens
of millions of dollars in West
Bank settlements
JERUSALEM (AP) - Israel will Invest
tens of millions of dollars In West
Bank settlements even as it pulls
out of the Gaza Strip and a few
other settlements, Finance Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday.
Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has
proposed removing all settlements in
Gaza, as well as four in the West Bank,
and rapidly completing a separation
barrier Israel Is building in the West
Bank.
Palestinians fear the move will
strengthen Israel's hold over the rest
of the West Bank, which they want as
part of a future state.
Netanyahu announced his support
for Sharon's plan Sunday, giving
it a crucial boost in an upcoming
referendum among the 200,000
members of Sharon's hard-line
Ukud party.
ECU professors, attorney examine
'separate but equal' court decision
Discussion honors
50th anniversary of
desegregation
MIKE WIGGINS
STAtF WRITER
In honor of the Supreme
( ourt decision, that ruled against
"separate but equal ECU
has invited community mem-
bers to speak on the judgment's
effect on the country.
David Dennard, Tin-
sley Yarborough and
attorney Robert White
will be demonstrating
the significance of the
decision made In the Hiown v.
Board of Education case on May
17, 1954.
The case began with
a lawsuit filed by the
Brown family when its daughter
was denied admission to a white
elementary school. The
National Association for the
Advancement of Colored
People took this on, along with
similar arguments across the
country.
The 1954 ruling made equal education accessible to all.
I he cases were argued
In December of 1952 by
Thurgood Marshall, head ot the
NAACI
The decision affected more
than those who were directly
involved.
Its results had wide-
ranging social, political,
educational and historical
results.
Panel members will
talk about how the decision
affected the children involved,
segregation, advantages
and disadvantages of deseg-
regated- schools and the
similarities concerning other
uses.
I'hey will also
examine how Brown v.
Board ofEducation affects today's
society.
Yokima Cureton, director
of communication for the i ol-
lege ol Education, said one of
the event's organizers
said it's our academic commu-
nity's responsibility to embrace
diversity.
"We arc the voice of
the future, and it is very
important that students
attend so we can open their
eyes said Cureton.
Dennard and Yarborough
will speak about the line of
events that led up to Brown v.
Hoard of Education, includ-
ing preceding court cases and
politics.
"Tangible or intangible,
segregation was a power-
ful thing back in the fifties,
regarding every aspect of soci-
ety.
With schools and educa-
tion being the primary cause
for concern throughout this
era, this court case was definitely-
one of the most important said
Yarborough.
"The presentation defi-
nitely pertains to all, and stu-
dents, among faculty and staff,
are highly encouraged to
attend
The discussion will be today
at 3 p.m. in 221 Mendenhall,

SGA may have to reconsider funding
Senators await
administrators'
decision
STEPHEN RICE
STAFF WRITER
Due to budget con-
straints, Student Government
Association may be able to give
out only S 145,000 to student
organizations for 2004-05, even
though $375,000 was
requested.
tig lit-two organizations
asked for SGA funds this
year - thirty more than last
year.
Jane Ferguson, adviser to
SGA, told the Senate there may
need to be adjustments to the
funding process
Since the Board of
Governors ruled that stu-
dent fees be reduced by
$4, there are fewer SGA
funds this year than in the
past.
Ferguson did not know
evii tly where the budget would
be cut.
However, she said the
student fee for SCIA may be
reduced.
The SGA passed all the
funding requests in a blanket
amendment.
Administrators will meet
today to decide where the cut
in student fees will be. This
could affect the amount ot
money that SGA will be able to
give to organizations.
In light of this, the
SGA senators met to discuss funding for student clubs last night in Mendenhall.
Senate added a stipulation to
its funding approvals
so they can be modified
pending the administrative deci-
sion.
The SGA was also asked to
consider funding I new child
care center.
Nancy l.ee, Child Develop-
ment and Family Relations
professor, spoke to the Senate
about ECU'S need lor such a
center.
Shi- said tile i liild care enter
would benefit both students and
staff.
l.ee said that the facil-
ity could have a potential
capacity for I o children and
be open from 6:45 a.m. to
6:15 pm.
She said the hours would be
modified as necessary to best
accommodate users.
The childcare center was
unanimously endorsed by the
Faculty Senate and approved
by Interim Chancellor William
Shelton.
However, no funding
has been set aside for the
pto)ect
The building would ini-
tially cost about $1.3 million,
l.ee came to the Senate to request
a $2 student fee.
The fee would pro-
Vide$50,000 for the project.
In other business, Flections
Chair April Paul spoke to the
Senate about the March elec-
tions.
She said the election com-
mittee was making changes to
require greater accountability
for candidates or campaign
workers who break election
rules.
Paul said establishing this
precedent would protect the
elections' integrity.

National Public Radio
Senior Correspondent Juan

to the desegregation of

Turner said Marshall served
as one of the Supreme Court
justices when the Hrown v. Hoard

Williams' lecture focused
on Marshall's key role in
establishing equality among

role in the Supreme Court
other than being the first African-

to make the president at the

Bush bemoans pullout of
Spanish troops from Iraq
WASHINGTON (AP) �
President Hush scolded Spain's
new prime minister Monday
for his swift withdrawal
of troops from Iraq and told him
to avoid actions that giva "false
comfort to terrorists or enemies
of freedom in Iraq
Bush expressed his views
in a five-minute telephone
call with Prime Minister Jose
Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, who
on Sunday ordered
the 1,300 troops
to ret urn home as soon as possible.
Zapatero placed the call
to Bush and the president
"expressed his regret to Presi-
dent Zapatero about the deci-
sion to abruptly announce the
pullout of Spanish troops from
Iraq White House press secre-
tary Scott McClellan said.
"The president urged thai the
Spanish withdrawal take place
in a coordinated manner that
Bush scolded Spain's new prime
minister for taking troops out of Iraq
does not put at risk other coali-
tion forces in Iraq McClellan
said.
"The president stressed
the importance of carefully
considering future actions to
avoid giving false comfort to
terrorists or enemies of freedom
in Iraq McClellan said.
Separately, Sen. John
Kerry, the presumptive Demo-
cratic nominee for president,
also deplored Spain's move.
"I regret Prime Min-
ister Zapateros decision
Kerry said.
"Spain and all the world
have an interest in rebuilding
an Iraq that is not a haven for
terrorists and a failed slate. I had
hoped the prime minister
would have reconsidered his
position, and I hope that in the
days ahead the United States
and the world can work with
him to find a way to keep Spain
engaged in
the efforts in
Iraq
"Rather than
losing partners,
1 believe its criti-
cal that we find
new coalition part-
ners to share the
burden in Iraq
Kerry said.
"We need
to offer to
share responsi-
bilities with the
United Nations,
NATO and others,
so they will
work with us in
Iraq to achieve
security, stability,
and freedom
Zapatero issued
the recall on Sunday
just hours after his
government was
sworn in. He said
there was no sign
the United States would meel
his demand for United Nations
control of Ihe postwar occu-
pation - his ultimatum
for keeping troops there.
Zapatcro's Socialist party
won the March 14 general
election amid allegations that
outgoing Prime Minister Jose
Maria Anar, by backing the
war in Iraq, had provoked
commuter-train terrorist
bombings that killed 191
people three days before the
vote.
Though Zapatero, a 43-year-
old lawyer and career politi-
cian, had promised to remove
Spanish troops, his immediate
action was a setback for the
United States, which has been
eager to portray the effort in
Iraq as an international cause
even though it is dominated
by its 130,000 American
troops.
Spain's foreign minister,
Miguel Moratinos Moratinos,
is to travel to Washington
to discuss the dispute with
Secretary of State Colin Powell.
He was scheduled to leave Tues-
day.
McClellan refused to
characterize the tone of the
two leaders' exchange, but
Hush's words were
unusually sharp by any
standard.
Asked if the discussion
was chilly or businesslike,
McClellan said, "No, look, I
think we've made it very clear
we'll continue to work with
Spain in the war on terrorism.
Obviously the president
expressed his regret at the
abrupt decision to withdraw.
Rut the coalition in Iraq is strong.

international relations
and continued to call for
bringing more countries
Into the effort to stabilize

"Every president
of the last century did
a better job than this
president" in building
relationships with other
nations, Kerry said
during a breakfast where
he raised $2.so,ooo for Presidential hopeful John Kerrvjscritfoalof Bush's foreign policy,

"I know I can make Amer-
ica stronger, safer and more
secure
One of Kerry's former rivals
for the nomination, Sen. Joe
l.ieberman, D-Conn joined
Kerry for a rally at Palm Beach
before Kerry ttxk his campaign
to Atlanta, l.ieberman is likely to
play an important role in Kerry's
bid to win the state that decided
the 2000 election for Bush,
largely because he has a strong
following in Florida's Jewish
community.
Kerry, who contended he
had a "100 percent record" in
support of Israel, said he would
end what he called a "sweetheart
relationship" that allows money
to flow from Arab countries to
terrorists.
"We need a president who's
prepared tostand up and lead the
world t( i a im ire responsible place
to create an entity to make peace
within the Middle East he said.
During a noisy rally In'fore
thousands of students at the
University of Miami on Sunday,
Kerry accused Bush of misleading
not only the country but "even
members of his own administra-
tion about what he was planning
to do in Iraq
"The American people, with
respect to issues of war and peace,
are owed the truth, the whole
Iruth and nothing but the truth
he said.
Kerry sat for a one-hour inter-
view on NBC's "Meet the Press
where he repeated his pledge to
create 10 million jobs and cut the
deficit in half within four years
if he wins the White House. He
conceded that soaring deficits
mlghl make him scale back some
proposals.
In the interview, Kerry said
Bush "misled America" by rush-
ing to war. lie pledged to build
an international coalition while
continuing to prosecute the war
- increasing troop levels if needed
- because stability in Iraq is essen-
tial.
The problems In Iraq are
only part of a foreign policy by
Bush that has left Ihe nation
isolated, Kerry said.
"I think this administration
has proven, frankly, stunningly
ineffective in diplomacy he
said.
Kerry cited Bush's policy
change on Israel last week in
which he endorsed a plan by
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon
to hold on to lands seized in
the 1967 Middle Past War.
"There were Arab leaders that
were taken by surprise by
this announcement Kerry
said, although he also said he
endorsed the move.
"I will immediately reach
out to other nations in a very
different way from this admin-
istration he said
"Within weeks of being
inaugurated I will return to the
U.N. and I will rejoin the com-
munity of nations.

Our View
The league
needs to
come up
with a solid
stand on
what will be
done about
entry into the
draft. If that
means they
stand by the
current rule
and emphati-
cally declare
it as non-
negotiable,
so be it.
Maurice Clarett - and any other underclass-
man, for that matter - has been denied entry
into this weekend's NFL draft. The second U.S.
Circuit Court of Appeals made the decision to
put a hold on a lower court's decision to allow
the entry from almost two months ago.
The question of eligibility has been hotly
debated. The most relevant question is if the
NFL is favored in the end with the eligibility
issue, what are they going to do about the
rule in place? What if they lose?
What makes the decision a difficult one
and solutions somewhat scarce is that kids
coming out of high school or with less than
two years experience playing college football
are not physically ready for the NFL. But that
won't hold up in court by any stretch
The way Clarett got into the league is ridicu-
lous and, in some aspects, low class. He is
not ready for the NFL, physically nor mentally,
and should have been forced to play another
year of college ball,
But what about someone like Southern Cal-
ifornia's Mike Williams, an absolute beast?
With his size and talent, he could have an
impact on the league and abuse veteran
cornerbacks in his rookie year.
Believe it.
Clarett, on the other hand, is out of shape,
hasn't played in over year and would play at
a position that takes the worst beating of any
other spot on the field. As a receiver, Williams
blocks on run plays and gets tackled only
when the ball is thrown his way. Clarett would
be hit on every single down that he plays.
The league needs to come up with a solid
stand on what will be done about entry into
the draft. If that means they stand by the
current rule and emphatically declare it as
non-negotiable, so be it.
In the event that they lose, a rule that players
must play at least two years of college football
should be placed in effect otherwise these
kids will get hurt - some of them seriously.
The NFL game is far too fast both physically
and mentally for 18-year-old kids coming
out of high school with no experience at the
next level.

Dear Editor,
In response to last Tuesday's
"In My Opinion by Peter Kala-
jian, ECU Greeks were portrayed
as an elite, exclusionary group
who are throwing the balance of
student government completely
askew.
Creeks may, in fact, make
up 70 percent of SiA, but
instead of looking at this as an
"alarming" injustice, one should
take into consideration that
(ireeks seem to he the people on
campus most willing to put forth
time and effort into bettering ECU.
lake the last election, for
example. Both tickets running
were all (.reek ballots, if the
majority leels so misrepresented,
why have no independents (non-
Greek) taken the initiative to run
for a position If your point was to
make people aware that 10 percent
of the people (Greeks) should not
represent the entire student body's
wants, needs and ideals, I would
agree; hut through no fault of the
Oreek community, SGA happens
to lie predominantly Greek.
II the student population at
ECU is so unhappy with the rep-
resentation percentage you can't
complain about something you
aren't willing to do anything
about. Your belief may be that
the number of tireeks on SGA
is, as you say, ridiculous; I call
on all the independents, step up
and run for an office.
It may not have been your
intention to cast "character
dispersions" on (ireeks, but your
literary picture of (ireek Life did
just this. By paralleling SGA to
apartheid and implying that the
(ireek community lacks diver-
sity and portraying brothers and
sisters as dress-alike "ditzes" and
"meatheads" is unfair. There
are 1 IK Fraternities, 0 NPC
Sororities, 8 NPHC Sororities
and Fraternities, as well as
numerous other academic and
service (ireek organizations
made up of unique and diverse
individuals.
So Peter, if you feel the
representation of the student
population on SGA is unbal-
anced, I bppe to see your name
on a ballot sometime in the near
future.

Hear Editor.
I was greatly disturbed by the
inaccurate assumptions made
about the (ireek community in the
edition of The EM .iirotiiiiuii thai
was released on April Li.
The article I am referring in is
the article on the student Govern-
ment being dominated by Greeks
The Greeks do make up a large
part of our Student Government
Association. However, this docs no
harm to the rest ot the student pu-
lation. In X)int of fact, if it were not
for (ireeks, there would lie almost
IK) one involved in SGA. The Greek
community has every right to have
their representation in SGA because
they are the people who run for Office
and are v rccned on the senate.
As Go-chair of the internal allairs
committee, I can tell you that there
are over 3S seats open on the student
senate right now. Any one who
would like to join, Greek or not can
come by 25S Mendenhall and pick
up an application to be si reened lor
a position on the senate. If Greeks
are willing to take time out of their
lives and fill the void in SGA, then
they deserve to be the majority.
It is important to rememhei
that (ireeks are students, as well
We are not only in our Ir.ili rnitics
and sororities, hut we are also rep
resentattve ot many ciulis, groups
and majors throughout campus. I.
myself am not only Greek, but an
education major who is involved
with other student organizations
not Greek affiliated.
This is the case with the much
of the Greek community that is on
the senate. We have many different
majors and are in many different
groups,
Wayne Conner, our lit man ot
the vear for 20(M, Is the president'
and founder of the prelaw honors
organization here on campus. I his
is one ol many examples of how
Greeks help the entire student txidy
because we are not just Greek. We
have many interests and affilia-
tions, and many of us share the
common interest being active
within S(.A.
The next thing I would like to
(xiint nut is that Greeks lead the way
in diversity on this campus. The
National Panhcllcniconlerence,
National Pan-llellcnk oundl
and the Inlcrfraternityouncil are
great champions ot diversity on this
campus. We work in order to bring
many types ol people together in
order In help this school.
I ook around, we all know
people that are Greek. Do they all
look alike, dress alike and act
alike No! We are as diverse as
any group on campus and repre-
sent several aspects of student life.
I take it as an insult. The idea that
we could be compared to some-
thing as heinous as Apartheid is
the most absurd idea conceived
about our organizations.
I would also like to remind
evervone that the Greek system
is a group that gives greatly to
the rest of the community. If you
look at the paper at any lime, you
will see that t he Greeks are major
contributors to Philanthropy and
community service.
Pi Kappa Alpha has given over
123,000 dollars to the Ronald
McDonald house in the last year.
Zeta lau Alpha and Delta Sigma
Phi had a joint event that ben-
elited breast earner research and
the March of Dimes. Phi Kappa
Tau and I lelta Zeta hail an Easter
egg hunt at the Boys and (.iris
i lub last week.
Zeta Tau Alpha, Alpha Phi,
Alpha Phi Alpha and Sigma
Phi Epsilon joined together
lor a iaimed tood drive for the
homeless eatlicr this semester.
These are only a tew ol the
service-driven projects the (ireek
((immunity has led. I here are
14 (ireek organizations on this
campus; all of which give time and
money to letter the community.
Mr Kalajian, these remarks are
not intended lo lie attacking. I am
simply stating that if you wish to
write about the (Ireek system, you
should learn moreabOUl it.
I would like to extend you and

this personal invitation, all fees
that may apply will be waived

I understand the actions of
the creek System are often mis-
understood. In the future, if there
are airy questions or concerns that
may arise, I will be more than
willing to help. As a member of
my own brotherhood, president
ol llielnterfraternity Council and
a committee chair on the SGA, I
am more than willing to help any
way I can.
Terry Gore
Delta Sigma Phi I raternatv
ECU Student
Dear Editor,
I am writing in response to
a letter and an article published
April 13 both written by Peter
Kalajian.
firstly, I would like to cor-
rect a couple of misstatements
in the actual SGA article. The
measure to support televisions
in the dining halls did not pass
overwhelm i ugly as was character-
ized in the article. The resolution
of the Student Welfare Commit-
tee passed with a vote of 24-23,
hardly what 1 would say is over-
whelming.
Secondly, the bill introduced
to add an additional committee
to the Senate for graduate stu-
dents had absolutely nothing lo
do with the proposed GSAC funds
that will be rolled-back into Stu-
dent Government.
That arrangement has already
been panned out by the executive
boards of both GSAC and SGA.
that is actually for a one-year
trial, however the Senate bill
would be permanent, not for a
one-year trial as characterized
in the article. Perhaps, if the
writer would have concentrated
on obtaining facts to inform the
student body instead ol observing
the "composition" of the Senate,
these mistakes would not have
occurred.
I would like lo respond now
to the idea that Greeks are dis-
proportionately represented in
SGA, Greeks do make up a large
percentage of many leadership
organizations around campus.
The simple explanation for this
is that we are involved.
There are some 35 or more
seats currently open in the Stu-
dent Senate. Amazingly, neither
the article nor the editorial men-
tion this fact.
student Government is open
lo all students on campus and
allows them a great opportunity
to become involved. I also find il
very Interesting that people who
have never been involved in a fra-
ternity or sorority are the world's
foremost experts on what Greeks
are about.
True, there are many Greeks
who dress a certain way or who
have similar ideals, but does
this fact mean we should be
dismissed?
Regardless of what you have
been told, (ireeks perform vari-
ous types of philanthropy and
commifnity service not only
locally, but nationally.
We are the leaders of the
campus, not because it is handed
to us, but because we take the
initiative and go and work for it.
It is not only the responsibility
of an organization to come and
ask people to join, but it is the
responsibility of the individuals
themselves to become informed
and involved.
1 also apologize to the writer
for the apparel that he so elo-
quently described as being
"(ireek" wear.
I would suggest a strong
pair of sunglasses as to block
out such offensive things as
designer labels, Rainbow sandals
and Greek lettered shirts from hi.s
view. Thanks for buying into the
stereotype.
The simple fact is that Senate
elections are openly advertised lo
the campus at-large during the
fall semester, just as the executive
elections are during the spring
semester.
Also, the Screening and
Appointments Committee takes
applications all during the year
to till vacancies.
The president-elect of SGA
is currently accepting applica-
tions for her cabinet for next
year. I implore the writer of the
articles, and anyone who shares
his views to cowboy up and join
SGA, lo address your concern of
the "Greek" misrepresentation
and all the other more pressing
matters we handle on a daily
basis.

Dear Editor,
Thank you lor your inter-
est in helping us lo iiintinually
improve our options. Having a
balanced selection of all foods is
very important to our staff.
s vegetarian options are
increasing in demand, we are
making strides to ensure that
we have offerings that you can
select from. Vegetarian meals
cm he a very healthy selection,
as it can provide you with lots of
liber, vitamins, and minerals. By
substituting some of the meal in
your diet, you may also be reduc-
ing the amount ot saturated fat
that you take in.
Each day at lodd and
Mendenhall, we base a vegetarian
entree opt ion as well as a vegetar-
ian soup. Additionally, Ihere are
vegetables, grilled veggie burgers.
pasta and baked potatoes offered
each day.
The salad bar contains fresh
vegetables, hummus, beans.
heese and Iruit. At the deli, you
can Rnd various cheese and tush
vegetables to create a vegetarian
sandwich or sub. I he salad bar
would also have other great veg-
etables that you could top it with
I or those who prefer soy milk, it
is available upon request.
In another effort lo increase
vegetarian selections, we have
added a few options at the retail
locations. A new area in the
Croatan, the Wright Place, the
Spot and Pirate Market Is Nutri-
tion Nook, an area that contains
healthy selections such as fruit
cups, vegetable trays, yogurt,
sushi, various salads and bever-
ages. A new item that we have
just added is hummus that will
be served with pita wedges and
fresh fruit. This will be located
at the Spot, the Galley, and the
Wright Place. At the Spot and the
Galley, we also have bean burri-
tos with vegetarian retried beans,
vegetables, cheese and rice.
Pirate Market, the conve-
nience store, does have a wonder-
ful selection of organic and meat
free products. We have added var-
ious flavors of soy milk products,
as well as garden burgers. Next
year, when the new dining hall
is in operation, it too will have a
convenience store, very similar to
the one on College Hill.
Please also look for topics
of interest in the publication,
Healthy News Your Body Can
Use, which is sent out to residence
halls each fall and spring, as well
as in March for National Nutri-
tion Month. It is also available
at each of the Campus Dining
locations. In these publications,
I answer frequently asked ques-
tions from students. Please visit
our Campus Dining Web site,
where you can learn more about
programs and options offered.
During the summer, we will
expand the nutrition homepage
lo bring you other information.
You can also contact me
directly at 328-2632 if you have
questions. Again, thank you for
your input, and feel free to give us
your ideas or suggestions.

five hottest movies
MICAH MASSEI
SENIOR WRITER
With spring's arrival is an all new film
season jam-packed with exciting choices lor
filmgoers. Below is an analysis ol five tilms
sure to have an impact at the box office
Kill Bill Vol. 2 - Starring I'ma I'hiir-
man, Samuel I Jackson - Directed by
Qucntin larantino
The background: Alter raking in
nearly $70 million at the box office (domes-
tically), larantino's conclusion to a female
SSWsin's mission to kill all involved in an
earlier attempt on her life stars Thurman
(once again) as The Bride with new face
I.k kson as The Organ Player.
The bu: Tarantino has yet to make a
film that falters, and as exciting and com-
pletely original as Kill Hill Vol. I was, one can
only hope Vol. 2 achieves similar success.
Release date: April 16
Van Helslng- Starring Hugh Jackman,
Kate Beckinsale - Directed by Stephen
Sommers
The background: During the late I'M h
century, famed monster hunter Dr. Gabriel
.m Helslng (Jackman) heads to Europe
with sidekick Anna Valeriims (Beckinsale)
to battle Count Dracula, The Wolf Man and
Frankenstein's Monster.
The buz In a rather impressive move,
those at Universal Pictures have opted to
"cash-la" on one oi the more Interesting
horrorfantasy series ol years past by bring-
ing Win Helsing to the big screen this May.
Both Jackman and Beckinsale have proven
they can carry an actioncomic venture,
and Sommers has scored well with his The
Mummy trilogy expect a hit.
Release date: May 7
Troy - Starring Brad Pitt, I rk Bana
- Directed by Wolfgang Peterson
The background: An adaptation of
Homer s great epic, the film follows the siege
of Tro In the united (.reek forces with Pitt
as Achilles and Bana as Hector.
The buzz: You would think having Pitt's
name on a movie poster would guarantee
success, but in actuality, Pitt hasn't
solely headlined - with respect to
10-slar Morgan Freeman - a major block-
buster since IWS's .Sfh'fi. At the same time,
some of the projects he's been a part of
enjoyed what little success they achieved
only because Pitt was involved. Peterson is a
masterful filmmaker-who, unlike his peers,
tends to make action movies that "make you
think" and "have a brain Hopefully, with
Peterson behind the wheel, Pitt will use his
talents and not his face to occupy screen
time and this epic adaptation will succeed
admirably,
Release date: May 14
Shrek 2 - Starring Mike Meyers, Eddie
Murphy - Directed by Andrew Adamson,
Kelly Asbury and Conrad Vernon.
The background: Immediately picking
up from where Shrek left off, Shrek 2 finds
our strange but lovable hero journeying
with Princess Fiona alter their recent hon-
eymoon to the city of Far Far Away where
Shrek hopes to make a good impression
with Princess Fiona's parents. Don't worry.
Donkey returns, also
The buzz: Despite Spiderman 2 and
Uiirfiehlopening later this summer, Shrek 2
is arguably the most anticipated film release
of the year. The 22nd highest-grossing movie
of all-time, is there really any filmgoer
- young or old - who isn't looking forward
to seeing Shrek, Princess Fiona and especially

Mentalist visits ECU tonight
KIMBERLY WRIGHT
STAFF WRITER
The Idea of being under someone's mystical
power seems childlike. In reality, however, many
adults are infatuated with the thought of being
hypnotized.
Hypnotism is actually a growing entertainment
source lor adults. It is everywhere- on TV, commer-
cials, magazine ads and amusement parks. We've
all seen the magic shows in which entertainers
control the audience members with mysterious
powers and never really know how they were
controlled.
today, trained professionals are skilled in the
art of hypnotism and wowing audiences world-
wide. Being hypnotized is a state of mind that
unlocks the unconscious and gives control to the
hypnotist.
II you have never seen this type of show, you
can see it at the llcndrix Theatre Tuesday, April
19 .it B p.m.raig Karges, a well-known mentalist,
will be performing on the behalf of the Student
Union Spectrum Committee.
"( ralg Karges is a great entertainer - he capti-
vates audiences and leaves students spellbound. No
one will be disappointed viewing the show said
Stephen Gray, director of student activities.
Karges is a mentalist who broke into the enter-
tainment industry because of his uncle who was
also in the industry and inspired him.
Craig Karges presents a performance that
includes levitating tallies and blinding himself
with S0-cent pieces while quoting license numbers
of audience members as well as birth dates.
That is just the beginning of the level of amaze-
ment hepresents. Karges was recently awarded l.nter-
tainerof the Year lor the eighth consecutive time.
"I have never been to a show like that, and I
look forward to It said C.larisa Opeda, freshman
business major.
The show is filled with amazement and is
meant to reach into the world of the unknown to
keep audiences guessing.
Many think hypnotism is lake, but it really
depends on what you believe in and if you can
Mentalist Craig Karges performs tonight.
handle being amazed by what you see.
At this performance, students and audience
members can expect to see a highly skilled men-
talist - not hypnotist - perform.
So will people be hypnotized? that is left to be
seen at the performance.
I he show is well-known to ECU and has
enjoyed a great rate ol attendance.
"I have seen people get hypnotized before for
all kinds of reasons sui h as to quit smoking or for
pure fun to see if it's real, but I am still not sure il
ii isn't, since I have never been before said Krystal
Wilkins, freshman undecided major.
To receive further informal ion about the show,
you can contact the Student Union Spectrum Com-
mittee at 328-4715 or stop by 236 Mendenhall

School of Music presents
Billy Taylor Jazz Festival
Second annual festival
helps celebrate
Jazz History Month
STEPHANIE BRINCEFIELO
STAFF WRITER
The Billy Taylor Festival is set
to celebrate Jazz History Month
April 22 - 24. This festival is in
honor of one of jazz's all time
greats, Billy Taylor.
A living jaz legend who grew
up in Greenville, Taylor has lent
his name to the festival because
of the strength of the jazz
studies program at ECU'S School
of Music.
"When I think Jazz, I think
Count Basie, Dizzy Gillespie,
Duke Ellington and Billy Taylor
said Michael Crane, director of
communication.
"He's the last living jazz
legend, and when he talks jazz,
he talks firsthand about the
people you hear performing on
the radio or learned about in jazz
history class
Since last year's performance,
Taylor has earned an honorary
doctorate from ECU when he
was the commencement speaker
last December.
"The Billy Taylor Festival
allows students to celebrate
America's true classical music.
You can't get this kind of quality
and these kinds of performances
anywhere else except from the
arts at ECU Crane said.
The second annual festival
includes concerts and clinics and
will feature Bob Mintzer and the
Yellow Jackets.
Mintzer has recorded II Big
Band CDs for the DMI' label
and been nominated for five
Grammy's. His talents include
performing as a tenor and
soprano saxophonist and
playing the flute and clarinet As
a composer, arranger and educa-
tor, Mintzer encompasses many
abilities that could label him a
musical genius. In 2002, Mintzer
won a Grammy tor the Bob Mint-
zer Big Band recording, "Homage
to Count Basie
The Yellow Jackets were
nominated this year for
contemporary jazz album of the
year due to their work on Ttme
Squared. Although they did not
win, they hold two previous
Grammies and over a dozen
nominations.
The Billy Taylor Festival will
offer many different opportuni-
ties for students to become aware
of jazz music and its history.

South Korea's soccer coach resigns
Humberto Coelho resigned Monday as South Korea's soccer coach
following a string of poor performances. The Portuguese-born Coelho
and the Korea Football Association agreed last week to end his contract
and he announced that decision Monday, association spokesman Song
Ki-ryong said. Coelho took over in March 2003 from Guus Hiddink, the
Dutchman who led South Korea's run to the 2002 World Cup semifinals
South Korean tans were angered by Asian Cup qualifying losses last year
to Vietnam and Oman, and the criticism mounted when the team tied the
Maldives in a World Cup qualifier on March 31.
Adu scores first professional goal
Freddy Adu's first professional goal didn't help DC United win The 14-
year old, who joined Major League Soccer this season, scored in the 75th
minute of Saturday's 3-2 loss to the MetroStars. Adu, the youngest player in
a major U.S. pro league in more than a century, did not start but replaced
Alecko Eskandarian in the 541h minute Adu thrilled the crowd of 31,149
when he sneaked behind two defenders to take a crossing pass from
Joshua Gros and knocked a sliding, left-footed shot past Jonny Walker.
Adu was surprised by the warm reception he received from the Giants
Stadium crowd Reserve forward Fabian Taylor scored two goals in a 13-
minute span of the second half for the MetroStars. Taylor, who joined the
MetroStarsJast month after playing four years in Jamaica, entered the game
after haiftime and outscored Adu In the 50th minute, MetroStars midfielder
Mark List made a cross from 25 yards out to Taylor, who first attempted a
header that was stopped with a diving save by Doug Warren. Taylor kicked
home the rebound, however, for an unassisted goal that tied the game at
1. Seven minutes later, the MetroStars went up 2-1 when John Wolyniec
headed home his second goal of the season. In the 63rd minute, 17-year-
old Eddie Gaven eluded two defenders to push the ball ahead to Taylor,
whose left-footed shot trickled past Warren for a 3-1 lead.
Urlacher and Bears won't exactly be Lovie-dovie
Chicago Bears middle linebacker Brian Urlacher expects his team to
employ a more aggressive defensive approach under new coach Lovie
Smith. Chicago's goal is to improve on an NFC-worst 20 forced turnovers
last season. Smith, the defensive coordinator for a St. Louis team that
finished with a league-high 46 lakeaways last season, has brought a new
style to Chicago, asking linemen and linebackers to move upfield faster.
Some of the team's practice rules have also changed The ball is always
live so players can get used to causing turnovers. A simple incomplete
pass during minicamp scrimmages results in what looks like a fumble
return. Also, defensive players constantly emphasize grabbing for the ball.
If a player drops a sure interception, he must do 10 push-ups. Urlacher,
who experienced that punishment after dropping one himself, is enjoying
his team's new philosophy.
Berlin solidifies role as Miami QB
Brock Berlin solidified his job as Miami's starting quarterback. The senior
completed 11 of 15 passes for 185 yards and threw a perfect 59-yard pass
down the sideline for a touchdown in Saturday's annual spring game.
Berlin, who transferred to Miami after spending two years at Florida, was
inconsistent in his first season as the replacement for Dorsey, a two-time
Heisman Trophy finalist He threw 17 interceptions, fumbled three times and
lost twice in November Berlin threw ust 12 touchdown passes and led
the offense to its second-lowest scoring average in two decades. He was
benched tor one game after losing to Virginia Tech and Tennessee.
Nebraska QB throws four TDs in spring game
Bill Callahan showed he's serious about overhauling Nebraska s offense
Joe Dailey had 16 passing attempts in the first quarter of the Cornhuskers'
Red-White intrasquad game Saturday in front of a spring game record crowd
of 61,417. Callahan's West Coast offense is quite a change for a team that
averaged 15 attempts per game last season. Dailey finished 29 of 49 tor
241 yards and a spring game-record four touchdowns in the Red squad's
35-6 victory. Callahan said Dailey made major strides in learning the offense
during the 15 spring practices Dailey hopes his spring performance carries
over to camp, when junior-college transfer Jordan Adams is expected to
challenge for the starter's job. Dailey and the first-string players on the
Red offense piled up 354 yards against a White defense that had only six
scholarship players. The Red defense was made up of first-unit players
going against a squad of offensive reserves The Reds went three plays and
out on the opening series, with Dailey throwing three incomplete passes.
Fans used to seeing the l-back run between tackles on first down cheered
when Dailey missed tight end Matt Herian on a deep pass on the first play.
Eleven Red receivers caught passes, led by Pilkington's six receptions for
61 yards. The Red squad passed on 49 of its 73 plays (67.1 percent).
Penn State suspends two DLs
Two Penn State football players have been suspended through the summer
for their involvement in a fight at the university's ice rink in February
Quarterback Michael Robinson, who needed 24 stitches after the fight,
will remain on the team. The involvement of defensive linemen Ed Johnson
and Matthew Rice was "more aggressive and potentially more harmful" than
Robinson during the fight, Penn State coach Joe Paterno said in a statement
released Friday. Paterno described Robinson's participation in the fight as
"disappointing" and said the quarterback would be on probationary status,
but remain on the team and be able to practice Rice started eight games
last season, finishing with 32 tackles and one sack. Johnson started three
games and had 26 tackles. No criminal charges have been filed in the fight,
and the university's Judicial Affairs office is investigating.
Pirates put up record numbers
Trevor Lawhorn and the Pirates batted .455 collectively against Cincinnati last weekend. The highest run output in a three-game
series before the 60 runs that ECU put up against the Bearcats was in Charlotte earlier this season (45 total runs).

BRENT WYNNE

The Pirate baseball team
picked up three more wins, and
yet another series sweep over
conference foe Cincinnati last
weekend. Just when you thought
the No. 14 ranked Pirate baseball
squad had maxect out on their
offensive potential with the
embarrassment they served up
to the 49ers of Charlotte two
weeks back, ECU put on another
air show as they rang up football

and 13-7.
Try these numbers on for size:
60 runs, 65 hits and 15 home
runs. Numbers such as these
would normally reflect a solid
seven or eight game winning
streak, but rfct for these Pirates.
To them, itwas just another
three games of feasting on the

Lady Pirates win three games on road
ECU Softball 41-14-1
with weekend wins
DAVID WASKIEWICZ
STAFF WRITER
Coming off of a series loss to
South Florida, the Lady Pirates
looked to get back on track with
wins on the road. F.CU's softball
team traveled to Virginia to face
Liberty and James Madison in
two separate doubleheaders over
the weekend.
Although a sweep of both did
not take place, the Lady Pirates
did come out of the weekend with
three victories, improving their
overall record to 41-14-1.
ECU opened play on Satur-
day in game one of their double-
header against Liberty. The lead
changed hands three times in
the seventh inning contest with
Liberty coming out on top 6-5
despite a valiant effort by ECU.
The Lady Pirates did not stay
down for long as the team was
able to rebound from their previ-
ous loss by defeating Liberty in
the second game, 17-11.
ECU'S sophomore catcher
Kristajessup led the team in hit-
ting, going 5-for-S at the plate.
Lady Pirates' pitcher Brently
Bridgeforlh improved her record
to 15-4 with the victory.
On Sunday, ECU added two
more wins lo their record as they
swept James Madison in a double-
header, 3-1 and l-O. g
ECU'S freshman pitcher Keli g
Harrell pitched a complete game �
and improved her record to 12-4 g
as the Lady Pirates defeated JMU
in the first game.
The spotlight of the second
JMU game went to ECU's junior
pitcher Maggie Lingo, who
pitched a complete game and
no-hitter. Lingo had no strike-
outs and walked two in her 14th
win this season.
The Lady Pirates broke the 40-win mark last weekend.
This week, ECU will try to
add on to their three-game win-
ning streak with a victory over
in-state rival North Carolina.
The Lady Pirates will open
play this Wednesday in Chapel
Hill at 3 p.m.

Sura's quest for
piece of NBA
history denied
Triple-double stripped
from Atlanta player
TRENT WYNNE
STAFF WRITER
Rob Sura and the Atlanta
Hawks had a commanding
lead over the New Jersey Nets
129-107 with just seconds
remaining on Monday, April
12. Although this blowout
victory was a story in itself,
it was not the one that made
headlines that evening.
Coming into the game
with the Nets, Sura had
already notched back-to-back
triple-doubles, a feat rarely
accomplished by any one
player more than once or
twice a season. It has been
seven years since anyone had
back-to-back-to-back triple-
doubles. On this wild Monday
night, however, the streak
almost ended. .

greatness. Hut when's the best time to cash in?
Does a blue-chip prospect wait until his
eligibility expires and possibly risk injury that
could crash his draft stock? Or does he leave after
his junior season and start cashing checks instead
of attending class?
Several All-Americas decided to leave early for
the 2004 draft, including Arkansas offensive tackle
Shawn Andrews, Pitt wide receiver l.arry Fitzgerald
and Southern CaJ pass rusher Kenechi Udee. All
project as first-round draft picks.
Smart decisions, right?
When faced with the same decisions a year
ago, another offensive tackle (Robert Gallery of
Iowa), wide receiver (Roy Williams of Texas) and
pass rusher (Will Smith of Ohio State) elected to
stay in school.
All projected as first-rounders then. Hut by
staying, all improved their draft stock. Gallery and
Williams rank among the top five players in this
draft, and Smith is a top-rated pass rusher.
Ole Miss quarterback Kli Manning also elected
to stay in school in 2003. He would have been
another first-round pick last April.
But by slaying on campus, Manning has taken
a quantum leap up Ihe board, lie projects as the
first pick of the 2004 draft, which would place him
in a select fraternity that doesn't even include his
brother I'eyton, who went second overall lo the
Indianapolis Colts in the 1998 draft.
Playing a senior season allowed lli to throw 441
more passes in his college career. That gave him 441
more exposures to coverages and blites. Experi-
ence makes a quarterback great and Manning is a

out after the 2002 season.
"I didn't play as well as I wanted my junior
year Manning explained. "We struggled as a team,
and there were a lot of things 1 wanted to improve
on in my game.
"I also wanted to experience a senior season,
be a captain, leave with the guys I came in with,
and try to end on a good note. We did, having
a 10-win season, going to (he Cotton Rowl and

Manning also used bis senior year to
establish himself as the greatest quarterback in
school history Those 441 extra passes allowed him
to become just the fifth quarterback In SEC history
to throw for 10,000 yards. He left Mississippi with
45 school records.

in each of the three games start-
ing with game one. In whkh
the Pirates had to fight back on
numerous occasions.
Facing a struggling Cincin-
nati club, the Pirates put up
three early runs and it looked
as if they had already set the
tone for the series. However,
the Bearcats made some noise
of their own as they chased ECU
starter Creg Bunn after a nine-
run fourth that gave Cincinnati
a sieahle lead. Bunn, who was an
unblemished 6-0 heading into
game one, was roughed up for
eight runs off of 10 hits in only
.1.1 innings of work, and was in
Ksition to lose his first decision
of the year.
"We just couldn't get an out
said Head Coach Randy Mazey.
"It seemed like everything
they did that inning went their
way. They would try to bunt and
would bunt it over our pitcher's
head. Or they'd hit a grounder
and it would bounce off our
pitcher
The Pirates clawed back in
the top of the fifth with three
runs to cut the deficit to three,
highlighted by Trevor Lawhorn's
three-run homer, his 17th of the
season.
ECU's new found momentum
quickly switched sides again as
the Bearcats got all three of those
runs back plus one in theirhalves
of the fifth and sixth innings to
give them a 13-6 lead with only
nine outs to pull off the improb-
able upset.
The Pirates took a chunk out
of the Bearcat advantage with
three more runs in the top of
the seventh off of a Ryan Nor-
wood two run homer and a John
Poppert RBI single up the middle,
inching to within 13-9.
After Cincy went down in
order in the home half of the
seventh, ECU scored again
when Ryan Jones sent his 12th
homerun of the season over the
center field wall to make the score
13-10.
When the top of the ninth
rolled around, the Pirates needed
three runs to at least give them-
selves a chance to play extra
innings. Darryl Iawhorn doubled
to begin the inning, but after two
straight groundouts, ECU's nine-
g.ime winning streak was in seri-
ous jeopardy.
Brett Lindgren's first plate
appearance of the game was
a good one, as he singled in
Lawhorn, bringing Jamie Paige
- who represented the tying run
- to the plate. After Paige singled
and put runners on first and
second, Jones slapped a two-run
double down the left field line,
knotting the score at 13-13. The
Pirates tacked on two more in
the ninth and held on to win
the wild contest 15-13.
"A game like that shows the
character of your team said
Maey.
"We were down 13-6 at one
time, but I don't think there was
anyone in the dugout that had
any doubts about whether we'd
come back
T. l.awhorn led the way at
the plate for the Pirates, homer-
ing twice and going 3-for-5 with
five RBIs and four runs scored.
Jones was 3-for-6 with three RHIs
and three runs scored. �
In game two, Cincinnati
proved that the way they roughed
up Bunn in game one was no
fluke as they poured on six
first-inning runs against Brody
Taylor, putting the Pirates in yet
another hole.
Unfortunately for the
Bearcats, the lirst inning would
be Hie only time the Pirates
would be held scoreless for the
rest of the game as they piled on a
team and Conference USA record
32 runs in the last eight innings
of the contest. ECU won going
away 32-14. The Pirates also had
an RBI for every run scored in the
contest, which is another team
and C-USA record. ECU also set
some team school records for at
bats (58) and hits (34).
Jamie Paige's individual
onslaught at the plate with seven
hits and four doubles was good
for two team and C-USA records
for hits and doubles in a single
game. The senior outfielder also
posted five RBIs and four runs
scored.
Billy Richardson, who has
taken heat from critics about his
ability to produce in the line-up,
had a breakout day with six hits,
six RBIs and four runs scored.
One of the hits happened to
be Richardson's first home run
of tne season, a two-run job to
right-center field.
Other Pirate players had
great performances as well. Ryan
Jones was 3-for-5 with a pair of
homers, six RBIs and four runs
scored. Mark Minicozzi was a
perfect 4-for-4 on the day with
a school record five runs scored
and an RBI.
John Poppert was 4-for-6
with a home run, an RBI and
four runs scored. Brian Cavana-
ugh homered for the first time
this season and was 2-for-2 at
the plate with two RBIs and two
runs scored. Mike Grace also
homered for the third time this
season.
"I know we're swinging the
bats real well right now, but you
can't anticipate a day like that
said Mazey.
"I think It was just a combi-
nation of things. We're swinging
the bats good, and we got into
their bullpen, which is not their
strength. Plus, the wind was
blowing out. It's beyond com-
prehension
Game three finally looked
like the game where the Bearcats
would steal one from the Pirates
as they rode a 3-1 lead and the
arm of junk pitcher Aaron Moll
into the fifth. The buck stopped
there as the Pirates put the
finishing touches on the series
with an eight run inning that
included three two-run home
runs, leading to a 13-7 victory.
With two outs in the inning,
T. l.awhorn doubled clown the
left field line, plating Poppert
and Richardson, who both had
reached on hits. Drew Costanzo,
the very next batter, homered
to right field. After a single by
Norwood, Darryl, T. Lawhorn's
other half, blasted a two-run
shot to right.
Moll, who had silenced the
potent Pirate bats from game
one and two, surrendered one
more two-run bomb when John
Poppert homered to left-center,
bringing home himself and
Minicozzi, who had been walked.
When the dust finally cleared,
the score was 9-3 in favor of the
Pirates, who had rallied in a big
way once again.
T. Lawhorn led the way once
again for the Pirates as he went
2-for-4 with his 18th home run
of the season to go along with
five RBIs and two runs scored.
Ryan Jones also homered in the
contest, his 15th of the year.
The Pirates improve to 31-6
overall and 12-3 in C-USA on the
season. Southern Miss stumbled
in the series finale against Mem-
phis, which allowed ECU to move
into a tie for first place in the C-
USA standings after completing
the sweep of Cincinnati.
The Pirates hit the road again
on Wednesday for a 7 p.m. game
with in-state rival NC State.

dished out 11 assists to go along
with his 22 points against the
Nets. Sura also boarded nine
rebounds and with just seconds
remaining, he saw his oppor-
tunity to jump into the record
books.
He took that opportunity.
Sura, encouraged by his team-
mates, purposely missed a lay-up
and grabbed his own rebound,
securing his tenth on the nigh!
and locking down his place in
NBA history, right?
Wrong. Less than 24 hours
later, the league office ruled that
Sura's field goal attempt was an
intentional miss and did not
reward him with the field goal
attempt in his stat sheet. I here-
fore, with no field goal attempt,
there can be no relwund.
This is where the problems
lie witn me.
Understanding that a field
goal attempt and a free throw
attempt are different, I tried to
take a look at this situation from
the league's perspective. II did not
take long before I was appalled at
the decision. How can the NBA
input a rule in some areas of the
game and not others?
When a player stands at the
free throw line and purposely
misses a free throw so that the
other team does not have chance
to hurry the ball up the court for
the final shot, what do you call
that? What do you call that, NBA
league office?
Do you wipe away the free
throw attempt by the player
because the player did not make
an attempt to score the ball? Does
that also take away the rebound
from the player that grabbed the
board?
If the NBA wants to start
making judgment calls on one
part of the game, they need to
start making judgment calls on
all parts of the game.
Let's put this in perspective
using other sports as well. For
us football fans out there, we all
know that when Michael Strahan
had his chance to set the single-
season sack record in 2002, Brett
Favre did a miserable job of acting
as if Strahan actually sacked him
to the ground.
Favre practically laid on the
ground and waited for Strahan to
touch him and break the record.
No judgment calls there from
the NFL and he sits alone in the
record books.
What about when a quarter-
back intentionally knees the ball?
He is not making an attempt at
making some sort of play for posi-
tive yards, so why should the NFL
allow that to hapcn? They allow
it to happen because it is part of
the game.
Should an intentional walk in
baseball not be counted after all
because the pitcher did not make
an attempt to get the batter out?
Why doesn't the major league
look into this? It is part of the
game, that's why.
I here are loo many situa-
tions in the sports world were
intentional instances take place.
Players intentionally do things
during game's to make the oppo-
sition angry with them. Pitchers
intentionally throw at batters to
back them off of the plate.
What about the intentional
foul in basketball? One player
louls another player with the
"Intent" of possibly hurting that
player. Should we start making
judgment calls on all ol this?
The answer is no because if each
league took it upon themselves
to evaluate situations like this
daily, it would turn the sports
world upside down until we had
no sports world.
Hob Sura intentionally took
his shot at the record books.
For those of you who think
what the NBA did was right,
ask yourself this: If I was in
Sura's position and was being
c'Kgcd on by my teammates,
would I have done it?
Maybe by some chance your
answer was no. Think about
something that means a lot to
you and would mean a lot to
you it you were to accomplish it,
then tell yourself that you would
not do something as simple as
what Bob Sura did to acquire
this goal.
Bob Sura took his chance at
something that really meant a lot
to him in an attempt to fulfill his
noal of entering the NBA record
books.
Sura said he had no intention
to make a mockery of the sport
and to take any attention away
from the win over the Nets and
apologized for the action if it
offended anybody.
The NBA needs to apologize
to Sura. He did what most all of
us would have done put in the
same situation.
